I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 90: Chapter 87: Something More Terrifying_1

"Alright, alright, I’m too old to take such emotional talk." Dr. Huang quickly interrupted Ning Tianlang, his eyes passing over Ning Yu’er with a hint of nostalgia. He remembered the first time he had met Ning Tianlang; the young man was still hawking wares on the street, with one hand cradling baby Ning Yu’er.

"The safe zone was compromised like that. Does the provisional government have no plans to build a survivors’ base in Lin City?"

"It’s not that they don’t want to build one. It’s just that until the thing inside Zhiyang Lake is dealt with, it’s impossible to construct a base!"

Dr. Huang fell into deep thought, as if contemplating some plan. Every creature was evolving in the post-apocalyptic world. In Zhiyang Lake in Lin City, a terrifying animal had evolved that wasn’t a zombie, but rather, a new human-like evolutionary species!

Lin City had a large population, and it’s probable that a good number of survivors are still there. Leaving Lin City to its fate like this may border on inhumanity!

However, upon thinking about recent developments, with the growing tension between ordinary people and new humans, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

He looked up at the ceiling slowly and muttered, "Times are changing."

Ning Tianlang nodded in agreement while Ning Yu’er obediently watched from the side, not understanding why Dr. Huang would say such a thing.

"What do you think the world will become in the future, Tianlang?"

"The new humans will take over! The most powerful new humans will stand at the top of the pyramid, controlling the lives and deaths of all those below them!"

...

"What? The new humans will really rule in the future?"

Atop a tall building, Yan Xing curiously asked Su Sigui.

Su Sigui lit a ladies’ cigarette, blew a smoke ring into the sky, her flowing hair danced in the wind. Seeing Yan Xing’s awestruck expression, she acknowledged that Yan was indeed a beautiful young woman, always exuding an air of mystery.

"Yes, it won’t be long before this world’s societal structure is completely rewritten. Ordinary people will become slaves!"

Her eyes contained a trace of melancholy as she stared blankly at a dense grey cloud in the distance.

"Why are you upset? Isn’t it a good thing that new humans are ruling the world? We’re new humans now, what’s there to be afraid of? How do you know these things? Are you a prophet?"

"I’m not a prophet. This is the inevitable outcome!"

The apocalypse came, zombies roamed, and monsters consuming humans were everywhere. Humans lost their dominance in this world, falling from the top of the food chain to the very bottom in an instant. The emergence of the new humans was certainly a blessing for humanity. Although it’s said that when one door closes, another opens, you never know which door will be the next to open!

The principle of ordinary humans evolving into new humans remains a mystery. No one can solve the question 10 years after the apocalypse. During the mid-stage of the apocalyptic era, some scientists found that people often evolved into new humans when they were in most extreme despair. They concluded that there were anti-life substances hidden in their bodies, and that a large amount of adrenal hormone secreted during peak emotional times would stimulate these anti-life substances, thus transforming them into new humans!

To become a new human, anti-life substances are essential. Incomplete anti-life substances in the human body will not make a person emerge as a zombie. Instead, the presence of these substances, similar to amino acids, would indirectly enhance cells. The imperfect anti-life substances would also assimilate with human cells, unable to create complete anti-life substance. Thus, during the assimilation process, they would infect other cells’ DNA, eventually transforming them into super cells and thus, new humans!

However, a lot of unexpected events can occur when anti-life substances assimilate with living cells. For instance, some people may have anti-matter substances in their body but will not evolve into new humans regardless of how intense their emotions.

Nor would they die. Since then, if a person’s body does not contain anti-life substances, they will not evolve into new humans, and they will just be a ’muggle’!

Those who have already transformed into new humans have their DNA upgraded in every cell of their bodies, causing their offspring to become new humans too!

In future, new humans around the world will start a civil war against ordinary humans. In this upcoming civil war, ordinary humans will be defeated, and new humans shall rise. After that, no matter what your status was before the apocalypse, even if you were a national leader, if you are weak, you will become a slave. Your evolutionary ranking will be your identity!

It will be a world where power is respected, just like it was described in the online novels. Ordinary humans will face an endless darkness! There will be no dignity left for them!

If you were an ordinary person who managed to get a mouldy piece of black bread in a survivors’ base and were about to eat it, when suddenly a new human throws your bread on the ground and steps on it twice, you wouldn’t only be unable to express your anger, but you would also have to pick up their foot, check if your bread has made their shoe dirty, all while saying: "Did my bread scratch your shoe? If so, step on me!"

Su Sigui explained, word by word, the future social situation to Yan Xing, only to notice that he was excited. She then stopped talking.

It’s not that she had a compassionate heart to worry about the lives and deaths of ordinary people. The entire of humanity will face a significant survival crisis in the future, she just wanted them to start uniting as soon as possible! But seeing now, she felt a sense of sadness flaring in her heart.

Such is the nature of humanity, never realizing the severity of a situation until it’s too late!

Seeing Su Sigui silent and smoking, Yan Xing was stunned. Sensing his gaze, she just glanced at him.

To Su Sigui, Yan Xing was a cancer upon humanity, something she had every intention to eliminate. But, before she did that, she had to drain him of all his value!

During the mid-stage of the apocalypse, Yan Xing had created many half-human half-zombie creatures, abducting ordinary people for his experiments. He transplanted evolution crystals from zombie brains into human brains, controlling them with a chip, and constructed [Fallen Moon City] in the north of China. It was a prosperous venture until the half-zombies mutated into actual zombies, resulting in his own death at their hands!

"Yan Xing," Su called.

"Hmm... Ah?"

"Do you think the apocalypse will end?"

"That...of course, it will. The zombies can’t reproduce, can they? If humans continue to fight, they’ll eventually eliminate all of them!"

Su Sigui shook her head, flicking away the stub of her cigarette and said after releasing a breath of smoke: "Is that so? Can’t reproduce? Humanity will encounter scarier things."

"What’s that?" Yan Xing asked, curiously.

Su Sigui looked down at the dense crowd of zombies below, then styled her hair into a neat ponytail with a hair band from her wrist. This made her appear even colder.

Seeing her exposed, delicate neckline and the pink veins beneath her pale skin, Yan Xing swallowed hard.

After preparing herself, she breathed out a single word: "Zombie King!"
