Chapter 869: Chapter 865 Not Good, It’s Ourselves

Speaking of which, she reached out her hand and petted the eyeball creature’s head again; the little thing that could understand human speech, however terrifying it looked, suddenly seemed incredibly cute at that moment.

A hint of helplessness flashed in the eyeball’s pupil. It had just wanted to take a look at what the survivor base built in the sewer looked like, but who knew that the legs it had casually formed weren’t suitable for climbing walls, causing it to get in but be unable to get out now caught by an ordinary human girl.

Hearing the girl’s words, it nudged its massive head formed by the eyeball again; the girl smiled and asked, "Are you a zombie?"

The eyeball creature paused, then nodded its head before shaking it. In this form, it was incapable of speech. It wanted to say it was neither human nor necessarily a zombie, but it couldn’t express itself well.

"What does that mean?"

The girl was confused, but she quickly put the strange behavior in the back of her mind without dwelling on it, saying, "Alright, you want to get out, right? Then I’ll help you out, but could you do me a small favor? It’s really simple."

The eyeball creature’s vertical pupil spun a circle, seeming hesitant, but in the end, it nodded. The girl smiled happily, then climbed back onto the table, lifted the eyeball creature and placed it in front of the sewer’s mudguard.

"Okay, off you go. When you get out, just push that toy car over to me, thanks."

The eyeball creature saw the overturned toy car with its wheels facing upward and heaved a sigh of relief; it had thought the child was going to ask it to do something difficult. After dealing with the scheming nature of human society, it knew all too well that favors were hard to owe.

Some things, if they can be solved with money, should not involve favors, as once you owe a favor, you might end up paying much more in the end.

For that reason, it overlooked the genuine innocence of a child’s heart.

With the girl’s help, it moved its four legs and jumped out from behind the sewer’s mudguard, but as soon as it did, a large hand suddenly reached towards it!

"No good! It’s myself!"

The eyeball creature realized what was happening, but it was too late. Its body moved too quickly, and before it could react, it was already in the other’s clutches.

Ah!

The girl in the sewer was startled by this abrupt scene and shrieked. She looked up at the owner of the hand: a youth dressed in black clothing, with a charming appearance that was simultaneously very bewitching and eerie, as if he was surrounded by a malevolent aura that made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Who... who are you?"

She asked in stupefaction, the man before her looking like a movie star, handsome and desirable, yet the eerie aura surrounding him warned her that he might not be a good person.

More importantly, he was all alone in a street full of zombies. Wasn’t he afraid?

Her gaze shifted to the zombies and noticed that they were acting as if they couldn’t see the movie star guy at all, making no movement.

"I am it, and it is me."

He smiled, opened his hand, and the girl watched dumbfounded as the eyeball from before slowly sank into his hand, which seemed like quicksand in a desert, carelessly consuming everything.

About a second later, the entire eyeball merged into a part of his body, a scene so incredible that the girl thought she must be dreaming.

"Thank you. This is what I promised you, hand."

Tang Ye whispered as she extended her hand stiffly like a puppet on strings, watching him pick up the toy car and place it in her hand.

"Our trade is complete, but I guess many of you must be hungry, so here is a gift from me."

Tang Ye carried a bag of fast food to the front of the sewer’s mudguard.

"No need to thank me. Goodbye, and take care."

She didn’t react at first, but after Tang Ye said his last sentence, she finally snapped out of it, "Hey, big brother, come back, there are lots of zombies here, it’s dangerous!"

She wanted to warn him, but she quickly saw the celebrity brother confidently walking towards the dense crowd of zombies, and what was even more incredible was that those bloodthirsty zombies actually stepped aside to let him pass!

"This..."

Just like that, she watched, dumbfounded, as Tang Ye disappeared into the horde of zombies.

Once Tang Ye left the sewer entrance, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Intelligent zombies? Hmph."

He then looked down at the palm of his hand, his expression turning stern, "It seems I can’t carelessly throw away my Level 7 split bodies anymore. Having them develop independent conscious and emotions is quite terrifying; I don’t want to end up with so many versions of myself."

Tang Ye’s recent departure was, in fact, to look for food. The eyeball he had sent out had seen that the survivors living in the sewer weren’t living any better than they did when Li Songhua was in charge of Qinshan Base. Except for a few high-ranking members, including the girl’s father, who received some food daily, the remaining five or six hundred survivors were struggling just like everyone did under Li Songhua’s reign.

Over four years had passed since the Apocalypse, and the edible food from before was almost completely taken by the survivors. Finding something edible in a small town these days was lucky enough, even though it wasn’t sufficient to feed all the survivors below, but Tang Ye didn’t feel the need to rack his brains about others’ survival issues.

What he was most in need of right now were intelligent zombies. During his interaction with those survivors, he had heard that there seemed to be an intelligent zombie here, but from their conversation, this intelligent zombie allegedly used guns to shoot people?

It seemed that the intelligent zombie’s level wasn’t very high; otherwise, it would have resorted to violence to solve problems.

The moment Tang Ye heard about this intelligent zombie, he immediately wanted to capture it. Although a small town wasn’t like a large city with a huge population, across China, a small town would still have at least a hundred thousand residents.

He estimated that there would be around seventy to eighty thousand zombies in the town. It would be challenging to find one particular zombie among so many, but Tang Ye had a way to draw it out.

However, this method was somewhat cruel.

He gave up on the survivor settlement he had encountered earlier and decided not to head for the United District immediately, starting to search for something in the small town instead.

Finally, in the afternoon, Tang Ye was drawn to a strange place—an old factory covered with evolved plants. Despite being rundown, judging by the many electric bicycles parked at the entrance, this factory had likely become derelict only after the Apocalypse.

Otherwise, an abandoned factory wouldn’t be filled with hundreds of electric bicycles.

What attracted Tang Ye, however, wasn’t these objects, but because the entrance of the factory was smeared with black "Sorrow Liquid."

Sorrow Liquid is an excellent substance for masking human scent from zombies. If people can endure its smell and smear it on their bodies, they could even mingle among the zombie hordes, although this would be highly dangerous and hardly anyone would do such a thing.
