Chapter 871: Chapter 867: The Man Who Terrifies Zombies

It was precisely because he knew he couldn’t defeat the opponent that any form of resistance was utterly meaningless.

"What are you doing here? I don’t recall having any grudges with you."

"Of course, there’s no grudge, but I do have a need to ’borrow’ your life for a bit. Seeing as you’re not exactly a good person, it’s going to be you, then."

"Borrow my life? Why?"

Brother Shi took a few steps back, his muscles tensing up as he watched Tang Ye warily. Tang Ye noticed his subtle movements, knowing he was preparing to flee. But you, a Level 3 New Human, thinking of escaping from a Level 7 zombie?

That’s completely impossible, alright?

Therefore, Tang Ye didn’t care about these little movements. He sized up Brother Shi with an indifferent expression and said, "A Level 3 New Human, although a bit low, should suffice."

Tang Ye said with a smile, sending chills down Brother Shi’s spine.

What does he mean by ’a Level 3 New Human is a bit low’? The implication was that a Level 3 New Human was nothing in his eyes. So what level was he?

The more Brother Shi thought, the more fear and despair filled his heart.

"What are you going to do?"

"Nothing much, just come with me obediently. It’s just death, after all. Won’t you be a hero again in your next life?"

Tang Ye stood up, not giving Brother Shi the chance to continue speaking. He grabbed him by the collar, lifting him up, then his body began to turn into black mist, escaping through the window.

Although Tang Ye had the ability to turn into mist, Brother Shi did not; yet, dragged violently by Tang Ye, he smashed through the wall, creating a hole before running out.

While Brother Shi had no time to be shocked by Tang Ye’s eerie abilities, he tried to shout for help in panic, but only managed to get a single word out before his voice was lost.

"Help..."

Although it was only a word, it was still heard by the survivors outside. The next second, five or six armed survivors burst through the door.

"Brother Shi! What happened to you?"

"Where is he?"

"There’s a hole there; Brother Shi has been taken, quick, save him!"

"Rescue him! Quick!"

Several survivors swiftly crawled through the hole in the wall, but outside there was nothing. Weeds overgrew the factory grounds without a single footprint in sight, and the pursuers halted only when they reached the edge of the factory.

Although the survivors wanted to save their boss, in the end, loyalty in the Apocalypse couldn’t justify risking their own lives. Without a boss, the underlings would have the chance to rise. Why not just replace him with someone new rather than risk their lives?

To vault over this wall meant facing the never-ending wave of zombies—it simply wasn’t worth it.

Besides, they had no idea what had taken their boss or where he had been taken to; they were searching blindly.

"Forget it, let’s go back."

The survivors hesitated before nodding at each other and heading back the way they came. Brother Shi was thus abandoned by his own men.

Meanwhile, Brother Shi looked down at the entire layout of the small town’s streets, his face completely vacant.

"This... this... Are you human or a ghost?"

The man holding him could actually fly? He racked his brain but couldn’t understand how that was possible. Could it be that New Humans developed such abilities after evolving to a certain degree? But still, was this even human?

He yearned for it, but it seemed he no longer had that chance now.

Upon realizing this, Brother Shi suddenly felt a strong desire to survive and began to struggle furiously against Tang Ye’s grip. He, too, wanted to evolve to that extent!

"Let me go! Let me go! We have no quarrels, why are you doing this to me? Let me go!"

Tang Ye had already stopped ascending and was gazing down at the small town, searching for the central point. Where should he start looking for that intelligent zombie? Of course, from the center. Before the Apocalypse, the most central point of any human-inhabited area was always the busiest, and after the Apocalypse, those central points would undoubtedly have the highest number of zombies. Starting there was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, Brother Shi’s incessant struggles were starting to annoy Tang Ye, who couldn’t help but roar angrily.

"If you keep moving, I’ll throw you down!"

The menacing threat from Tang Ye immediately made Brother Shi back down and stop moving, whimpering in Tang Ye’s grasp, crying about something.

But Tang Ye couldn’t be bothered with him; this way, it was much quieter.

After observing for a while longer, Tang Ye located the area densest with zombies. Then, he plummeted downward at high speed, while Brother Shi’s piercing screams shattered the sky, causing a commotion among the zombies below.

...

"What are you doing? Don’t come any closer! I don’t want to die!"

Brother Shi looked around in terror. The zombies, like hungry wolves, were eyeing him, emitting spine-chilling roars from time to time that made him break out in a cold sweat.

In Tang Ye’s grip, a strong man was being held like a small chicken, a sight that appeared bizarre no matter how one looked at it.

"Whether you live or die is not up to you, it depends on your luck. If you don’t die, I’ll let you go. If you do, rest assured, you will continue to exist in this world in another form."

Of course Brother Shi understood what Tang Ye meant. He kept quiet, his hands by now bound tightly with rope by Tang Ye, tied in a dead knot that couldn’t be untied.

Despite the terror induced by the dense mass of zombies around him, these zombies seemed to fear the man holding him even more. Instead of coming closer, they actively made way for Tang Ye.

Every time Tang Ye drew near, they were too frightened to make a sound, as if the man was a demon!

This made Brother Shi wonder and suspect Tang Ye’s identity.

"Who exactly is this person that even zombies are afraid of him?"

As these thoughts filled his mind, Tang Ye’s figure loomed like a mountain, an overwhelming presence, a formidable being that even zombies feared.

"Get lost!"

At that moment, as Tang Ye held Brother Shi at the town’s central crossroads, he shouted at the horde of zombies ahead. At once, all the zombies scattered like birds and beasts, clearing a large space. Brother Shi’s eyes practically popped out at the scene.

Hehe~

Then, Tang Ye made two sounds toward a nearby Level 5 zombie that Brother Shi couldn’t understand. Next, he saw the Level 5 zombie leave.

"What’s this? A language among zombies?" At this thought, Brother Shi felt even more perplexed.

A language among zombies?

After the Level 5 zombie left, it quickly returned, this time dragging a crane with it.

Tang Ye roared twice more at the Level 5 zombie, then tossed Brother Shi, who he was holding, in its direction.

"Hey! Hey, hey, big brother, don’t do this! No, please..."

Brother Shi was nearly scared to death by Tang Ye, but it was already too late. He felt a large hand coming towards him and grabbing his slight body.
