I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 515: Chapter 512: Dare not Lie to Me_1

Li Songhua was astonished. He naturally knew that the so-called energy crystal was a super crystal created by melting all evolution crystals and crystal cores together, which was conducted by Wen Yulong’s research team. The antimatter contained in it could potentially reach Level 8.

He had attempted the same thing, but each evolution crystal in a zombie’s brain with its unique genetic-like codes was different from another and naturally repelled each other, except for those in the same type of zombies.

As such, all sorts of bizarre zombies existed outside. Merging all the evolution crystals in their brains into one was impossible.

Because once two different types of zombie evolution crystals merged, their molecular structures would be destroyed, turning into a useless black puddle.

After hearing of the energy crystals developed by Wen Yulong’s team, Li Songhua tried to fuse evolution crystals too, but failed every time. He had to resort to buying from Wen Yulong himself.

Wen Yulong’s words reminded him of the sight of zombies swallowing energy crystals, sending a chill down his spine.

The energy crystals contained a large amount of toxic industrial substances, deadly to humans if ingested. Zombies, on the other hand, were already filled with the deadliest antimatter in their bodies. They could assimilate any substance except antimatter. If an energy crystal entered a zombie’s stomach, it would be akin to artificially creating a second White-haired Zombie King!

Or even producing a destroyer of humanity!

Keep in mind that the birth of the White-haired Zombie King in Lin City had already alarmed the other seven continents, making everyone fearful. Although the Zombie King had not done anything harmful to humans, his mere presence was enough to terrify people. Many even called him the Destroyer of Humanity.

This reflected just how astounded humanity was at the appearance of the Zombie King!

Besides, this was the first zombie unanimously recognized as the Zombie King. What if there were other zombies of the same caliber in other regions?

Such a thought was undeniable nightmare fuel!

"Hmm, I’ll be careful." Li Songhua pledged solemnly.

Wen Yulong only chuckled and didn’t say anything. Soon after, a few soldiers from Guanglan Base entered, carrying a large plate together.

The large plate was covered with a red cloth, on which bulged something the size of a wheel.

"Is this the energy crystal?" Li Songhua couldn’t wait to lift the red cloth, revealing a rhombic crystal with white and purple hues inside.

Delighted, Li Songhua couldn’t wait to bring the energy crystal back to Qinshan Base to install it. Once it was fixed up, he would have a safeguard and wouldn’t have to worry about Li Henian’s ambitions anymore.

Even though he had not yet recognized Li Henian’s intention to get Qinshan Base, being in Li Songhua’s position made it inevitable for him to be somewhat paranoid.

"Alright, take it and go."

At this point, Wen Yulong’s indifferent voice came from the side. Li Songhua was stunned upon hearing it.

"I can take it away now? Aren’t you worried that I’ll run off without rewarding you?"

Wen Yulong still held his aloof smile, he said without pressure, "You should not be foolish to that extent. I bet you wouldn’t dare to deceive me, no matter what."

Li Songhua’s expression turned solemn. Yes, ever since he arrived at Guanglan Base and told Wen Yulong of his intention to buy the energy crystal, Wen Yulong has had the means to easily kill him.

If he did deceive Wen Yulong, all Wen Yulong had to do was send someone to tell Li Henian that he had come looking for Wen Yulong and reveal his intentions.

Without having to lift a finger, Wen Yulong can have Li Henian deal with it. How would the powerful Li Henian tolerate others having designs on him?

By then, Li Henian wouldn’t even give Li Songhua the time to install the energy crystal.

Li Songhua knew this. How could he dare to deceive Wen Yulong? As Wen Yulong said, he wouldn’t dare!

"Well then, I’ll be going. The payoff will be delivered tomorrow at noon."

"Not one less."

"Not one less!"

"Then, I’ll take my leave. Yiyan, please see Uncle Li out."

"Yes."

"No, no need." Li Songhua waved off quickly, allowed Qinshan Base’s soldiers to carry the energy crystal, and quickly left Wen Yulong’s office.

After he left, Wen Yulong looked at Yiyan, both with smiles on their faces. This was exactly what they meant by killing with a borrowed knife. Although the knife was not particularly sharp, if it failed, they could completely detach themselves from it—it’d still be worth it.

Wen Yulong and Yiyan exchanged a glance. His hand reached under the table, pulling out a list containing more than a dozen names, including Su Sigui and Li Henian.

He crossed out Su Sigui’s name with a big X and drew a triangular symbol under Li Henian and Tang Fu’s names.

...

In a distant forest, the truck carrying the survivors could no longer withstand the long journey and finally broke down. The drive rod under the truck snapped with a "snap", and black oil slowly spilled out.

The uncle who could fix cars was at a loss. He had no idea what to do.

Should they walk? But who would have the energy to walk such a long distance?

At this moment, a Level 1 evolved zombie over two meters tall happened to pass by. It would not have noticed the humans nearby if it wasn’t for Nannan in Qiongli’s arms.

As if reminded of something, she immediately shouted at the zombie, "Daddy! Daddy! Nannan is here...."

It turned out that the silhouette of this zombie looked quite similar to Tang Ye’s zombie form, making Nannan mistake it for her father.

But her cries caught the attention of the zombie, which turned to reveal its ghastly skull and charged at Nannan.

Frightened, the people could hardly keep their spirits. Most of them were ordinary individuals and had no idea how to gauge a zombie’s rank. Only a small portion of men picked up weapons intending to fend off the zombie.

"F*ck!"

Brother Zhang cursed. He had noticed a few other zombies attracted by Nannan’s cries behind the first one.

He had initially planned to use the gun he got from the gang to kill these few zombies, but considering there might still be more zombies nearby, he didn’t dare to risk alerting them with the gunfire. With no other choice, he picked up an iron rod and charged up.

Before he charged, he gave Nannan a fierce glare.

Tang Ye looked at Nannan with increasingly complex feelings. But Nannan was only a child, he didn’t have the heart to abandon her.

Hearing her yell "daddy" earlier, a thought crossed his mind. He considered taking Nannan back with him and raising her himself. But he quickly dismissed the thought.

All along the journey, he felt like he was back when he was sending Ning Yu’er to the safe zone. His heart was filled with reluctance and helplessness. It was a struggle.

Qiongli gave Nannan a strange look. Why was the little girl calling a zombie "daddy"?

She was sure she wasn’t mistaken; Nannan did just shout at this zombie!

Could it be...?
