I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 797: Chapter 794: End of Memory 1_1

As long as his benevolence is not extinguished, Li Henian is a worthy associate in this post-apocalyptic world from all aspects. His astounding potential alone might make him another Level 9 New Human, a more suitable candidate for Su Sigui. The more Level 9 New Humans on the human side, the more the situation would be in our favor.

Regarding Su Sigui’s claims, Xu Tianyu nodded without any second thoughts. Being the strongest warrior under her, he had spent enough time with Su Sigui to trust her completely. Doubting her would only lead one to a grave two meters deep.

All her teachings are the best survival strategies in this apocalyptic world. Those who doubt her would be facing their own graves sooner rather than later.

"We have pulled out our branch from the United District, but what do we do next? Once Li Henian fully controls the United District, he would be the biggest force in South China. The only ones to rival him would only be Jiuge. We had a lot of conflicts with the Peace Party before, would they let us off the hook?"

Su Sigui shook her head, saying, "I don’t know. But Tianyu, remember this. We built the City of Bright Moon not to seize power in human society. The reason we developed the Peace Party was so that we could have more room for maneuvering in the future. Our power only exists when we have people supporting it. Once humanity is extinguished, our power would be as useless as a short, thin stick."

"Have you noticed that as we continue to endure in this apocalypse, more and more people are dying. Give it enough time, and how many of us will remain?"

"My initial intention was to establish a safe haven where humanity could thrive. I didn’t want to simply struggle for power. After all, our time is dwindling."

Following Su Sigui’s speech, Xu Tianyu looked at her with even more reverence. The reason he chose to follow Su Sigui was that she possessed a unique aura unseen and unfelt. Though power is intoxicating, what use is it without people?

"Alright, being confined to the South China region is quite limiting. We will move our power to the Central China region. Our goal has never been to dominate South China."

"Huh?"

"Do you know what the biggest base is right now?"

"I know, Cloud Gorge Base."

"Yes, even though it is just one base, it encompasses an entire province. Many powerful forces gather there, including two of the strongest forces. Our goal is to move into Cloud Gorge Base. In the future, if all goes as planned, Li Henian, too, will lead his Peace Party into Cloud Gorge Base."

"Why would that be?"

"Whether it’s the United District, Jiuge, Jiang Cong Headquarters, or the 19 branches of the He River, all will be forced into Cloud Gorge Base due to the evolving situation."

"So, does that mean you plan to move into Cloud Gorge Base before these other forces, to secure a foothold?"

"Yes. In the face of the conflicts between these forces, smaller forces have to struggle to survive. Our move has to be swift."

"Understood!"

"Start preparing tomorrow. The relocation of our forces is a significant move, with many potential challenges causing considerable losses. However, we can’t avoid making the move. Moreover, we aren’t required to move everyone. Leave some behind."

"Ah, but what if Li Henian retaliates in our absence? That could cause unnecessary losses."

"No need to worry about that. Just leave enough personnel behind, with a simple task."

"What task?"

"The primary task is to look after Li Henian. They have to save his life if it’s endangered. He cannot die!"

"Why?" Xu Tianyu is now completely perplexed. Could it be that Su Sigui fell in love with Li Henian after her continuous harassment of him?

Though it seems likely, some love stories do begin within such dramatic plots. After all, Li Henian is the only individual whose strength can match Su Sigui’s. Perhaps Li Henian is the only suitable match for a strong woman like Su Sigui.

"There’s no ’why’. Simply because he’s a powerful person. The turbulent events to come can’t be controlled singlehandedly by either of us. We need powerful people. With the ’sky’ falling, it’s the ’tall’ ones like us who need to hold it up. As the number of ’tall’ ones decreases, the pressure on us will only grow. Moreover, both in the apocalypse and for our purposes, Li Henian is an excellent ally, hence, he can’t die. Even in the future, the fate of humanity could be decided by him." Su Sigui said with an unknown spark in her eyes.

"Mayor... I... I don’t understand."

"You will, as long as you live till then."

Xu Tianyu went silent as if he were considering something. Su Sigui’s words had puzzled him greatly. However, Su Sigui had always been this inscrutable, only making sense with time.

"Mayor, you have a lot of secrets... Many people believe that you have traveled back in time from the future. Is... is that true?"

"If I told you, would you believe me?"

Xu Tianyu shook his head, but then nodded.

"Alright, go and do what you need to. There is much to do in the future and I need your help."

"I understand."

With a straight face, Xu Tianyu nodded and left. Su Sigui remained in the hallway, gazing through the window at the blue skies outside where the clouds bore the colors of an animated film.

After a long while, she pulled out a photograph from her pocket. It depicted an empty landscape with no one in sight but a winding train track, surrounded by a few scattered yellow weeds on either side.

Looking at the photo, Su Sigui lost herself in thought. Memories surged within her mind as if she had been transported back to that moment.

"Sweetie, I’m in a new family now. Let’s not contact each other anymore."

"Tell us everything you know. We will handle it accordingly."

"I don’t know much. I just saw a job advertisement and went for it. Who knew..."

"Why did you go then?"

"Because the pay was good."

"So, you can break the law for a high salary?"

"I...I didn’t know. I had no idea it was for smuggling drugs. Had I known, I wouldn’t have gone!"

"Forget it, you are a university student. You should know that we live in a society where the rule of law applies. Trafficking drugs can get you a sentence of 15 years imprisonment. After finishing this statement, you will have to come with us."

"Isn’t there any other way?"

"No, the law doesn’t consider personal feelings."

"Can you do me a favor then?"

"What favor?"

...
