I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 861 - 857: I’ve Met a 9th Tier New Human

Chapter 861: Chapter 857: I’ve Met a 9th Tier New Human

In the pitch-black night sky, Tang Ye clearly saw someone looking at him from afar upstairs. Judging by the figure, it should be a woman, and, what’s more, was she actually smiling at him?

That’s right, Tang Ye could see it clearly in the dark night; that person was smiling at him!

"Who the hell are you? Got a screw loose?"

Tang Ye cursed, wondering why someone would stand there scaring people for no good reason at night. However, just as he was about to close the door, he felt something strange. Why would someone climb up the building opposite to him just to smile?

The more he thought about it, the more it didn’t sit right with him. Could it be that someone intended to harm him?

With this thought in mind, Tang Ye’s hand, which was about to close the door, paused, and a surge of blood energy flashed through his body, flying out the window and headed straight for the shadow.

He had thought his might would scare the other person away, but to Tang Ye’s surprise, the opposite party wasn’t the least bit intimidated. It looked as if they had expected him to charge over.

"This person is no ordinary individual!"

Tang Ye frowned slightly, thinking to himself. His speed was swift—one second he took off, and the next he was directly in front of the person. Clearing seeing the person’s face, Tang Ye was slightly taken aback.

"It’s you!"

"President Li, long time no see."

"Why would it be you? What are you doing here?"

The person smiling at him was none other than Su Sigui. She was alone, which suggested she had come by herself.

"What? Can’t it be me?"

Tang Ye furrowed his brow, about to speak, when he saw Su Sigui look up at the night sky where the stars twinkled brilliantly, a beautiful sight.

"Look at how beautiful the night is tonight."

"You..." Tang Ye followed her gaze toward the sky, started to say yes, but then fell silent again.

"President Li, aren’t you afraid you’ll strain your back with such speed? How..."

At this moment, Su Sigui turned her gaze back to Tang Ye and sized him up, then suddenly said with a smile, "I see President Li has grown stronger, evolved to a Level 7 New Human. You truly deserve to be the overlord of the United District. But why do the outside rumors still say you’re Level 6?"

Thoughtfulness flickered across Su Sigui’s face, but she quickly added, "That makes sense, too—hiding your true strength can deliver a fatal blow to those lurking in the shadows!"

Tang Ye’s already furrowed brow creased even more.

"Mayor Su really has sharp eyes to notice at a glance that I’ve become a Level 7 New Human. You don’t seem surprised at all—could it be that the mayor has seen other Level 7 New Humans?"

From her expression, Tang Ye gleaned a lot of information. Normally, upon seeing the strength much higher than that of Level 6 New Humans, one would show a look of surprise and astonishment, but there wasn’t a trace of such emotion on Su Sigui’s face.

It seemed as if seeing a Level 7 powerhouse was common for her, which caused Tang Ye to feel a chilling realization.

"Level 7 New Human? I’ve seen more than a few of those. Not just Level 7, President Li, would you believe that I’ve seen a Level 9 New Human?"

"Level 9?"

Tang Ye’s heart jolted fiercely. Who could evolve so rapidly?

Apart from himself, who was now a Level 7 zombie, he had yet to encounter any zombies or humans beyond Level 6. The power of Level 7 zombies was almost indescribable, let alone Level 9.

According to this exponential increase in strength from one level to the next, the power at Level 9 could possibly be described in one word.

And that word was God!

But is what Su Sigui said true?

He scrutinized Su Sigui’s facial expressions carefully; she was gazing directly into his eyes, a barely discernible flame hiding within their depths. It was ambition--small, yet as dazzling as the sun--marking her as an exceedingly complex individual.

However, Su Sigui’s statement was full of holes. For instance, if someone really evolved to Level 9, then why do humans still live like ants trapped in a cage, huddling in the Sanctuary Zones?

Her expression did look genuinely sincere; however, the world is not short of genius performers who have mastered the art of micro-expressions to the utmost degree, those who can lie through their teeth without batting an eyelash. If such people existed, Tang Ye would readily believe Su Sigui was one of them.

"Hahaha..." Tang Ye suddenly burst into hearty laughter, his voice laden with mockery.

"Mayor Su, you’re no longer a child. Hasn’t your teacher taught you that lying is wrong?"

"Do you think I am deceiving you?" A flash of light passed through Su Sigui’s eyes, incredibly bright in the darkness. Perhaps she indeed was the kind of person Tang Ye had previously considered--a skill honed by over a decade of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. However, she remained silent.

She had indeed seen a Level 9 New Human, only they hadn’t emerged yet, or perhaps, the Level 9 New Humans of the future were already dead!

And the fact that Li Henian could evolve to Level 7 was also unexpected to her; nonetheless, it was a favorable development. The stronger Li Henian became, the greater his potential implied, the more likely he was to become the next Ning Tianlang.

But who knew? Compared to Ning Tianlang, what would Li Henian be like? What would the future hold?

What decisions would a brand new ruler choose, in contrast to the rulers of the old generation? If Li Henian hadn’t died in his past life, could he have evolved to Level 9? What kind of spark would he create with Ning Tianlang?

Her expectations of Li Henian were high despite Ning Tianlang’s death; her curiosity was undeterred.

"Isn’t that so?" Tang Ye replied indifferently.

"I have indeed seen them; they just haven’t appeared yet."

"Then I am the strongest."

"Oh? That may not necessarily be the case."

"Hmm?" Tang Ye paused, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"The right to evolve in this world isn’t exclusively yours, President Li."

As she spoke, an astonishing energy erupted from Su Sigui, and Tang Ye’s face registered great surprise.

"Impressive indeed, reaching Level 7."

Tang Ye’s face bore a smile, but soon, that smile disappeared in an instant, and his expression turned icy as killing intent shone in his eyes.

"However, Mayor Su, your visit here is quite strange. What are you doing here?"

"The night is beautiful tonight. Can’t I just enjoy it?" Su Sigui responded with a counterquestion.

"Is that so? Tonight, where can’t you admire the night sky? Why must you come here?

Being a stronghouse, and having evolved to Level 7, Su Sigui was now on the same level as Tang Ye. Moreover, as the mayor of the City of Bright Moon, it was bizarre for someone of her stature and identity to be here, and especially alone.

What was she up to?

Keep in mind, the Central United District was not so easily accessible, even for members of the Peace Party. Su Sigui, an outsider, appearing in this place--what did that suggest?

It suggested that the fellow had sneaked in, and given the secretive nature of her visit, it was immensely suspicious!

With this thought in mind, Tang Ye immediately suspected Su Sigui of being behind the sequential attacks on the patrol troops of the Peace Party. Possessing the power to mobilize so many stronghouses, the City of Bright Moon also had the means!
