I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World-Chapter 789 - 785
Chapter 789: 785
"Who are you?"
The young man who entered was naturally Tang Ye, and the moment he appeared, the six committee members in the room immediately voiced their questions.
Tang Ye smiled and clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping around the room. Ignoring the seat that bore the name tag of "Commissioner He", he headed straight to the first seat where a tag "Commissioner Liu" was placed. This seat belonged to Liu Lancang and it was the seat of the highest-ranking person in the United District.
Liu Lancang, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, narrowed his eyes. There was a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes, but no hint of anger on his face. This was clearly a man of deep cunning, who had reached a state of mind where his emotions no longer showed on his face.
Suppressing the surge of anger in his heart, he strolled to where He Jinzhan originally sat, seemingly unconcerned. He looked at Tang Ye with a sort of half-hearted smile, wanting to know what tricks this guy had up his sleeve.
Tang Ye, who had arrived at Liu Lancang’s seat, did not immediately sit down. He leaned both his hands on the large conference table, his face glowing red.
Suddenly he clapped his hands as if he just realized something and laughed, "Oh, I almost forgot. I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Li Henian. Some of you might recognize this name. I am the current Chairman of the Peace Party of the Shiwuguan Base and the legitimate new committee member of the Jinhai Control Zone in the United District."
"New committee member of Jinhai?"
"What?"
The others were shocked, and a hint of hostility seemed to appear in the air.
"Yes, the previous Commissioner He had an... unfortunate accident and died! So, now I am the new committee member."
Speaking of this, the smile on Tang Ye’s face grew wider as he looked at the high-ranking committee members with a playful look.
Just at this moment, the noise of gunfire and the clash of exoskeleton armor echoed in from outside, along with faint screams of despair. However, they were too high up, making it unclear what exactly was happening below.
Roar!
Bang!
Suddenly, the glass of the room next door shattered, and a huge dark shadow flashed past, accompanied by a shrill scream. Blood was sprayed diagonally on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, making it a grotesque sight.
"What was that?"
Someone was startled but the committee members present quickly regained their composure. Looking closely, they saw a massive Level 3 zombie bird swooping down towards the ground with its wings flapping.
A soldier in uniform was riding on the back of the zombie bird. He was holding the reins excitedly in both hands.
"All members of the Dead Knight Corps, kill all resisters without mercy!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Deafening sounds echoed from below, accompanied by intermittent firing noises. The committee members present were shocked. Was there a war going on? Given the sounds, there seemed to be an army fighting below, but when did these people arrive? And what was this Dead Knight Corps? How could humans ride on zombie beasts?
Can zombie beasts be tamed?
These were the questions in everyone’s minds.
Unable to contain his curiosity, one of the committee members stood up from his seat and walked towards the window to see what was happening below. But as soon as he had done these actions, Ah Fu roared angrily, instantly shattering a side table against the wall with a kick. He brandished a pitch-black halberd, blocking the path of the curious committee member.
"Try moving and see what happens!"
Ah Fu’s rough voice was filled with an intense murderous vibe and an incomparable aura, making all the others gasp in surprise and return silently to their seats.
The noise of the combat outside did not disturb Tang Ye. On the contrary, his smile intensified.
"Alright, we had a little interlude just now, let’s continue."
"Where did I stop? Oh yes, I was saying that I am now the new committee member of the Jinhai Control Zone in the United District, and also the chairman of the Peace Party."
"The name Li Henian might not be clear to some of you, but I’m sure you all know about the Peace Party. After all, you all participated in the operation to exterminate the Peace Party. I won’t forget that."
"So, you’ve come here for revenge." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
At this point, one of the committee members spoke up. Judging by the nameplate, he was Shi Yanxing. According to Tang Ye’s knowledge, this man named Shi was the committee member from the Gao’er United District.
"What about it? What of it? Your United District has caused me a lot of trouble," Tang Ye said without any hesitation.
Shi Yanxing’s face changed slightly but he remained silent. Judging by the commotion below, Tang Ye had clearly come prepared, whereas the six of them were not prepared at all. It seemed they were in a precarious situation today.
As for He Jinzhan, who Tang Ye mentioned in his speech, how did he die? It was plain to see that he must have been killed by Tang Ye. What shocked them was that they hadn’t even received the news of He Jinzhan’s death yet. They were in trouble.
"Now you all are in a dangerous situation, do you know that? Your lives are in my hands."
Tang Ye’s face turned cold, and there was a noticeable drop in the temperature of the room.
"I don’t know what the Peace Party did to offend you, nor why you want to exterminate us so thoroughly. But as the saying goes, ’a Buddha struggles for a last incense stick, a man for his last breath.’ I have to reclaim our territory. We’ve suffered such great losses, and I hope... I can recoup it from all of you."
No sooner had he spoken than a committee member from Renxi United District stood up, speaking with a friendly tone, "Yes, yes, last time we indeed did wrong which caused Mr. Li to suffer greatly. It is natural for you to seek compensation. Given the circumstances, we will take a step back. After all, we were in the wrong. Now that Commissioner He is dead, we will recognize Mr. Li as the new committee member. All assets under the Jinhai Control Zone are yours, Mr. Li. And, we, the old guys, can give up a certain amount of our benefits as an apology to you. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye gave Commissioner Renxi a deep look. As he expected, most of these committee members were clever people and they could easily see that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
It was also well-known that Li Henian, the chairman of the Peace Party, was a Level 6 New Human. Standing here, even the two Level 5 New Humans, who were committee members from Red City and Fu Hui, had to bow their heads. Facing a Level 6 New Human, their power was simply inadequate.
In this case, the only thing they could do was to appease Tang Ye, make him loosen his grip on them and not focus on them anymore. The most important thing at the moment was to save their own skins. As for dealing with the newly appointed committee member of Jinhai, Li Henian, that could be left for later.
After all, who knows what the future holds?
And now, Shi Yanxing was doing just that, and his intention had been clearly seen by Tang Ye.
