Chapter 63: Chapter 60 Became Bald and also Became Stronger_1

"Have you seen my father?"

"Ah, Ning Tianlang, he’s out, he’ll be back soon," the soldier answered.

"Oh, alright." Ning Yu’er looked disappointed.

She realized she didn’t feel the excitement she thought she would at the prospect of seeing her father, no real distress either. She glanced back at the corner, not finding Tang Ye’s figure, and then left in a trance.

Having confirmed that she was safe, Tang Ye had already set off towards Honglin High School, appearing solitary in the setting sun.

She was back, back in human society. Tang Ye pondered where he was supposed to go now. Every time he left, he always ended up back in that dormitory, which felt like home. Every day he would return after finishing his tasks to find a girl patiently waiting for him behind the door...

He leaped onto the roof of a tall building; this was the route they had taken before. Now he walked the same route back, step by step...With every step, he couldn’t help but wish that he was actually just accompanying her over here. At least then, he could still see her. But life offered no antidote for regret.

Regret gnawed at Tang Ye. He knew he could have spent more time with Ning Yu’er, but he had insisted on sending her away too soon.

Goodbye, Ning Yu’er, I will fulfill your wish for you!

We’ll meet again!

If he looked down, he’d see the zombies appearing gradually. A blaze ignited deep in Tang Ye’s eyes, a certain unnamed thing began to grow within his heart. The girl was so gentle that he didn’t know how to face her. With her gone, Tang Ye suddenly found courage swelling within him. He wanted to say so much to her, but now, it seemed too late.

He didn’t know what was growing in his heart, but he recognized it later as ambition, the ambition of becoming the Zombie King!

123456...

Tang Ye suddenly began counting the zombies beneath the building. He stopped when he reached 689. That was the maximum number of zombies he could control. However, zombies could evolve, with each evolution dramatically boosting their strength and speed!

He could only control 689 zombies now, but if Tang Ye reached Level 3, Level 4, or Level 5, could he control even more zombies? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Tang Ye did not know to what extent the evolution of zombies could go, but he was determined to stay at the forefront, until he could control all the zombies in the world.

In this way, he could fulfill Ning Yu’er’s wish, in a roundabout way.

It was time to go. Tang Ye suppressed the sadness in his heart and raced towards Honglin High School! Maybe when he returned to the dormitory, everything that had happened today would have just been a dream, and Yu’er would still be sitting on the little stone bench behind the door, waiting for him.

You never learned the 72 Transformations

Nor did you learn to spew all sorts of tall tales

You always struggle to muster a suitable smile

Your heart at thirty is still full of turmoil

But the words you speak often betray you"

Listening to others talk about dreams"

You work hard

And play dumb

You are Sun Dasheng, the failure others talk about

You are Sun Dasheng, the one who disappears even in a crowd

Sun Dasheng~

Your lover is waiting for you to fetch her in your BMW

Sun Dasheng~

You long for a home at the foot of Gaolan Mountain

Sun Dasheng~

You’ve traveled the world, chopping wood and feeding horses

Sun Dasheng~

You’ve vowed to leave the world scrambling for teeth...

Standing still on the rooftop, Tang Ye began to sing in a hoarse voice. At times clear, at times fuzzy, often off key, but it fully expressed his current feelings of melancholy.

Becoming a zombie didn’t rob him of his ability to speak, but it was hard, it was tiring. While singing, Tang Ye struggled to articulate his words clearly, but there was no escaping a hoarse and ugly voice.

Step by step, he followed the path they had taken before, finally arriving at the Honglin High School Female Dormitory around midnight. Tang Ye wanted to push the door open, but he hesitated, gathering his emotions. He pretended that Ning Yu’er hadn’t gone yet, that everything was still the same as always. That when he pushed the door open, the girl would be at the door, happily calling out "Little Mister."

Squeak~

Tang Ye pushed open the door, imagining that the figure of Ning Yu’er would appear before him, but there was none.

She really left, and who knows when they would meet again.

Looking at the empty dormitory, Tang Ye felt a chill. He went to the dorm room where they used to sleep, where Ning Yu’er’s unfinished meal was still on the table. Tang Ye took one look, then lay down on the massive bed made of four smaller beds.

The empty darkness kept him company, with the occasional groaning of zombies from outside, but apart from that, it was silent.

"Ning Yu’er... we’ll meet again."

Tang Ye murmured, closing his eyes. Without Ning Yu’er’s interruptions, who knows when he would wake from this sleep.

The next day dawned clear and bright. The fierce sun didn’t bring much warmth, the world’s end having hastened the autumn. The remaining survivors felt the chilling winds unique to this different autumn.

"Haha, it’s a success, finally a success, this is great!"

A man donned in a bloodstained apron walked out of a room, his mouth stretching into an excited grin, he was exceedingly happy!

"Really!" Several people around him also voiced their disbelief.

Bang!

The room from which Li Xiaojie had received his unknown surgery burst open. A shapely woman in a tight spy suit was suddenly seized by a large hand, letting out a shrill scream!

The aproned man startled and hastily retrieved a remote-like device from his pocket and pressed the red button.

Groan!

Like a water buffalo, the owner of the large hand let out a pained bellow, releasing the woman. Seeing this, the man released the button, shouting, "Out, and be good!"

From the room emerged a silhouette over two meters tall, the transformed Li Xiaojie! The military uniform he was wearing had been ripped apart by his bulging muscles, revealing his grey, robust muscles. His hair had all fallen out, leaving a bald head, and his countenance resembled that of a zombie!

"What did you do to me!" Li Xiaojie, having been altered so drastically, roared with anger. He felt something in his head wasn’t supposed to be there, controlling him!

"Nothing much, we just enhanced your body. Look at how strong you are now! You’ve become bald, and stronger too?" Yan Xing, standing in the corner, joked with a laugh, but his eyes were narrowed and dangerous.

"Change me back! Who wants to be this kind of monster, change me back! If not, I will kill you all!" Li Xiaojie could not accept his transformation, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he glared at the crowd, especially the beefy, aproned man!

"Stop! You’ve already felt the pain just now. If you don’t want it to continue, calm down. We only performed a craniotomy on you and implanted a brain worm. Don’t want to listen? Try and see!"

Yan Xing spoke coldly, taking the remote from the aproned man’s hand.
