I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World -
Chapter 907 - 903
Chapter 907: 903
As he looked at Li Qingtian in such a state, Tang Ye kept silent. However, when she spoke her last sentence, Tang Ye’s heart seemed to be shaken at that moment as well, inexplicably, tears also welled up in his eyes, and seeing Li Qingtian’s grief, he felt pain as well.
"I... sister..."
Tang Ye raised his hand and spoke three words with a complex tone, but right after he finished, he froze.
"F*ck!"
Cursing quietly in his mind, he pushed Li Qingtian away and turned to leave. He was already adopting Li Henian’s habits and personality traits. From the beginning, when he first absorbed two segments of Li Henian’s memories, they had already started to affect him, Tang Ye himself, although slightly, but it was not negligible.
And now, having accepted most of Li Henian’s memories, it made him feel as if his personality was being forcibly torn apart, some unintentional movements bore Li Henian’s shadow.
"Sorry." After saying that to Li Qingtian, Tang Ye quickly went upstairs.
"Where are you going?"
Li Qingtian asked with a puzzled look, but in her eyes, besides confusion, there was a deep surprise. This man, who looked a bit like her brother, seemed to be her brother, even though she had watched her own brother die before her eyes, and she had dug the grave herself, shoveling, and burying him!
The image of him dead was vivid in her mind; he couldn’t possibly still be alive, absolutely impossible. Yet, even though the memory of her brother’s death was so fresh, when she saw a man resembling her brother so closely, she found it hard to accept the reality. Instead, his recent accidental call of "sister" felt so natural and even subtly carried the affection between family members, making her illusion that this man was indeed her brother, without a doubt.
In her heart was a tremendous surprise, from which she couldn’t escape—what could be more astonishing than seeing a deceased loved one alive?
Her question, filled with both doubt and joy, how could Tang Ye dare to respond? He had just carelessly let slip that address.
So, when Li Qingtian posed her question, he fled the scene as if escaping, moving quickly up the stairs.
"Don’t go, Henian, are you still mad at me?"
Li Qingtian hastily chased after him, but in the blink of an eye, Tang Ye had already vanished at that flight of stairs, and by the time she got up there, there was no sign of Tang Ye.
Tang Ye reached the fire door on the sixth floor and glanced back. Seeing that Li Qingtian had not caught up, he heard only the continuous sound of footsteps on the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is really troublesome. How did I come across such an awkward situation? Damn it, Li Henian, you’re freaking annoying! Wait... something’s not right; I am Li Henian after all, and she is my sister..."
Tang Ye paused again, not understanding why, in that moment when he was cursing himself, he felt extremely uncomfortable—as if Li Henian was his inherent personality, while the personality cultivated from the Zombie King since childhood was merely an outsider; he was indeed a transmigrator, and this transmigrator’s name was Li Henian.
Yet from another perspective, when Tang Ye, standing atop the persona of Li Henian, cursed Tang Ye as a damned scoundrel, a scoundrel who didn’t understand familial affection, his feeling of discomfort intensified even more.
Now he truly was two people—two sets of memories and souls, personality, and emotions, perfectly fused together, becoming wholly one person!
"F*ck, I don’t want to think about it anymore, the more I think, the more annoyed I get."
Tang Ye cursed silently to himself again and headed towards his luxurious office and rest area.
"Resemble, what resembles what?"
As he walked, Tang Ye was pondering this matter in his mind. Meanwhile, his lips moved slightly as he repeated softly anything concerning "resemblance."
Soon, Tang Ye arrived at the door of his office, stretched his head forward slightly, and focused his eyes on the iris scanner above the door. After two or three seconds, along with a "beep" sound, and a cold, emotionless mechanical voice,
[Beep, iris recognition successful, welcome home.]
Then, the door opened, and Tang Ye pushed the door and entered. Once inside, Tang Ye didn’t close the door right away. He was afraid that Li Qingtian, who was determined to find her brother, might be nearby, and the sound of closing the door might attract her.
Even though, as a Level 7 zombie, Tang Ye had strong sensory perceptions, excessively sensitive to his surroundings, this moment was undoubtedly the most nervous and thrilling in his... well, not life, but his existence as a zombie. There had never been a time, not even when he first became a zombie or when he was born as a human, that he felt such a need to avoid someone.
If Tang Ye were someone else being chased by a girl who seemed heavenly, despite being barricaded by solid walls, he would crazily break through the obstacles to find her. But all this was very difficult for Tang Ye.
Indeed, Li Qingtian’s beauty was astonishing, though not on the level of Gong Xiao, whose attractiveness exceeded human limits.
However, her beauty was considered the epitome of aesthetic appeal in Asia!
Being chased by such a great beauty should be very exciting and blissful.
But Tang Ye was different; although he had no blood relation with her and while Li Qingtian was attractive, Tang Ye wasn’t like Ah Fu, who easily got carried away by base instincts. The real memories of Li Henian in his mind were an insurmountable barrier for him.
The familial bond between Li Henian and Li Qingtian was too profound, so heavy that Tang Ye’s shoulders felt weak. He didn’t know if he could bear it, but he dared not even try, no matter how deep Li Qingtian’s love for Li Henian was, because ultimately, that love wasn’t meant for him. He wasn’t Li Henian; Li Henian was long dead, and he was just an impostor.
Moreover, this love came too suddenly for Tang Ye, who had been accustomed to solitude all his life. It caught him completely off guard, and he dared not accept it.
Even though he had once envied the love others had.
The familial affection and blood ties Li Henian had for Li Qingtian now filled Tang Ye with hesitation. He didn’t know how to deal with this relationship, and faced with this matter, Tang Ye felt an unprecedented helplessness.
It was too tricky, which is why at this time, Tang Ye didn’t even trust the enhanced perception that came with evolving into a Level 7 zombie. He preferred to trust his own eyes.
Peeking half of his head out, he glanced outside the corridor. The sixth floor had seven rooms in total, each room fully equipped with amenities that matched those in presidential suites of five-star hotels back before the Apocalypse. Anything you could think of, they had it; if not, it would be added.
