Chapter 847: After Waking Up, He’s Still Here

Unfortunately, in this cursed era, they had no right to desire such girls, only cursing their insufficient status and strength.

Thinking of these things only made one feel utterly empty.

Watching the girl leave, that night, he was speechless and sleepless.

"Chen Chaoyang, it’s time you fulfilled the promise you made to me," he said.

...

The next day, Li Qingtian did not hurry to find the person she was looking for, but instead roamed the streets of the United District. Her presence frequently caught attention, her strikingly inescapable face, and the Level 5 zombie that followed her everywhere, made it difficult not to draw people’s eyes.

She was alone, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding gazes, wandering around the streets lined with stalls. Behind her, the huge zombie carried a sack large enough for two, filled with Yajin, occasionally buying things that caught her interest.

During that time, many people had their eyes on her, but before anyone could act, the lurking criminals were already scared off by the Level 5 zombie.

"Damn, she really is a zombie controller; such a thing is rare," someone exclaimed.

"I’ve always heard people say there are zombie controllers here and there who can make zombies obey their commands. I didn’t believe it, hey, but today I actually saw one," another observed.

"It seems the rumors about zombie controllers are true," another noted.

"Hehe, they say that the controlled ones are usually those closest to the controller who turned into zombies. That being said, why did my parents come bite me first when they turned into zombies?" someone joked.

"What’s so strange about that? There’s only one reason: your parents didn’t love you enough," someone replied.

"Rubbish, if your parents really loved you, you wouldn’t be living so miserably," another added.

"Say that again?"

"Enough, there are many factors that contribute to someone becoming a controlled one. If everyone had their own controlled ones, it wouldn’t be an apocalypse anymore," someone concluded.

All the way, people pointed and whispered about the passing girl, filled with curiosity about the zombie controller.

The girl, who seemed to be untouched by worldly matters, paid no attention to everything around her until a conversation caught her ear.

"Did you hear? The Peace Party is going to war with Jiuge!" someone said.

"Ah? Didn’t they just sign a ceasefire agreement? Why are they fighting again?" another asked.

"What’s the use of what the seven commissioners say in the Peace Party? The Peace Party is so dominant right now; the United District only owns less than half of the 709 Mine, the Peace Party definitely won’t accept that," someone explained.

"Yeah, the Peace Party is not as weak as the seven commissioners. They’ve dealt with the resistance; they’re at the height of their power. Jiuge feels uncomfortable coming over here; they’re just asking for trouble," another mentioned.

"Exactly, I heard that when Jiuge sent someone over to talk, Li Henian kicked them out, and he almost killed the guy," someone said.

"You all heard too, didn’t you? The Peace Party’s stance is to take over the entire 709 Mine. They demanded Jiuge leave the South China Region, either accept or fight. Li Henian is truly a dictator, only he would say such things," another noted.

"Hey, do you think Jiuge will agree? After all, Jiuge has never compromised on the mine issue before, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been fighting for so long," someone pondered.

"From the looks of it, they will definitely fight, sigh, we will be busy again after a while, the matters of the big shots are beyond our understanding," another lamented.

"I have a brother in the Peace Party. Do you know why Li Henian almost killed someone? It seems it wasn’t just because Jiuge occupied most of the 709 Mine," someone revealed.

"Why?"

"You know about the recent attacks on members of the Peace Party by New Humans, right?"

"Yes, could it be... you’re saying Jiuge was behind this?" someone guessed.

"Who else could it be? With so many New Humans, even four or five Level 5 New Humans have appeared. Only a force as big as Jiuge could pull off such a feat," someone asserted.

"Not necessarily, what if someone offered a hefty bounty on the Peace Party?" someone speculated.

"You’re talking about the Mercenary Guild? Who has that much Yajin to offer a bounty? To target the Peace Party, you need millions of Yajin, and we don’t know how deep the waters of the Mercenary Guild run. Now that the Peace Party has grown so big, a few spy employers and it’s all over, right?"

"That’s true."

A young girl who had just walked past a few residents suddenly stopped, hearing their conversation word for word. She didn’t care about the content of their talk, nor did she try to remember it; rather, a familiar name echoed in her mind—those three syllables!

"Li Henian?"

Confusion crossed her face, deep and incomprehensible. He was her relative, the closest person to her, and her deepest obsession in life. He had died long ago; after that, she shouldn’t have had the opportunity to hear those three syllables from the outside world again, except deep within her own heart.

Why did she hear it again? It was so familiar, as if it awakened an instinct deep inside her.

She looked toward those survivors, walking step by step toward them with a Level 5 zombie, and her actions caught the attention of the survivors.

"Hey, she’s coming over here."

"Holy shit, she really is coming this way!"

"Her eyes are on us, really on us! She’s actually coming!"

"Is she into me?"

"You wish!"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

The survivors were completely dumbfounded as they confirmed Li Qingtian was headed their way.

They watched as Li Qingtian approached them with her Level 5 zombie, scared and unsure of her intentions.

"Excuse me, do you... do you need something?"

Li Qingtian scanned the group, asking, "Who were you just talking about?"

"Who?"

The survivors were confused by what Li Qingtian meant and asked again.

"Who did you say is the Chairman of the Peace Party?"

"Li Henian?"

"Li Henian, yes. What about him? He is now the Marshal of the United District."

"Li Henian? Are you sure it’s Li Henian?" Li Qingtian asked again, confirming repeatedly.

"Yes, it’s Li Henian."

"That Henian, that Li?"

"This... this... this who knows."

"We just know it’s Li Henian, who knows which Henian and Li it is."

Li Qingtian didn’t continue asking and turned to leave.

"Li Henian, who are you? Same name and surname? Or just the same pronunciation?"

She no longer wandered the streets aimlessly. From the moment she heard that name, she wanted to clarify one thing!

Even though she had already seen her relative die right before her eyes, and the initial purpose of her visit to the United District was forgotten, she still hoped that person was her relative. Perhaps it was all a dream, a delusion, and upon waking, he would still be there.
