"Yes."

Old Tao glanced in the direction of the drone, a significant look flashing in his eyes as he nodded in agreement.

Old Tao had also been young once, and Zhang Yiming’s various behaviors had already led him to a certain suspicion.

Zhang Yiming must have fallen for a human!!

Thinking about the events of last night and this morning, the clever Old Tao quickly guessed it.

Zhang Yiming must be in love with Leng Yebai.

It was so obvious!

Old Tao touched his deeply wrinkled forehead and nodded in self-assurance.

He had recently learned a lot of new things and read many books; male and female relationships didn’t bother Old Tao.

The world had ended, so who cared about social status, or what was meant to be by the heavens!

Old Tao was actually a very trendy old Zombie King!

Over a hundred Superpower Users followed behind Captain Zhu, finally arriving in front of Zhang Yiming.

Captain Zhu’s first action wasn’t to speak or negotiate with Zhang Yiming, but to look toward the dozens of ferocious zombies.

His eyes landed on each zombie’s decaying face, trying hard to find a familiar one.

After looking over them repeatedly, Captain Zhu’s expression twisted slightly.

"Where is Xiao Song?"

Captain Zhu thought he could hold it in, but he couldn’t, bursting out immediately.

The image from before the apocalypse reappeared in his mind.

Back then, he was still the police precinct captain, and Xiao Song was a university graduate fresh out of police school, immediately following him.

After the apocalypse broke out, they protected everyone together as they escaped from S city, truly going through life and death.

Even though he became a zombie, Captain Zhu never gave up on him.

Betraying his conscience, he harmed humans and used flesh and Crystal Cores to sustain the zombified Xiao Song.

His heart suffered great torment, hating why he had become who he was now.

He used to live for protecting people; now one day, he would kill.

No matter the torment, he never regretted it, and if given another chance, he would do the same.

Xiao Song grew up under his command and also turned into a zombie under his watchful eyes.

This nearly broke Captain Zhu’s willpower.

The only thing supporting him was the faint hope in his heart.

Hope that Xiao Song could become a conscious zombie or turn back into a human.

He thought he would endure the pain while nurturing Xiao Song with hope.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiming’s arrival interrupted all his plans.

How could the Zombie King care about Xiao Song like he did? In the Zombie King’s eyes, Xiao Song was just a dispensable pawn.

The countless zombies the Zombie King could command treated the ordinary ones as cannon fodder, always charging forward to shield the Zombie King.

Since Zhang Yiming took the Xiao Song Zombie away, Captain Zhu hadn’t slept well, constantly thinking about how to bring him back.

Just like when Xiao Song had freshly graduated from police school, knowing nothing and wholly relying on his hands-on teaching.

"The Xiao Song Zombie is my capable subordinate; what is Captain Zhu, a human, doing looking for my subordinate?"

Zhang Yiming reluctantly lifted his eyelids, glancing at Captain Zhu and the other Superpower Users behind him.

It was the gaze one would use on ants.

"He’s not your subordinate; he’s Xiao Song. I advise you to hand him over immediately, or else..."

Captain Zhu didn’t finish his sentence, but the threat was evident.

No matter how powerful Zhang Yiming was, he was still just flesh and blood. Even if the Superpower Users couldn’t harm him, he had his secret weapon.

"I can hand him over. I believe even if he’s here, he wouldn’t choose you. He can only be my subordinate."

Zhang Yiming glanced at Captain Zhu’s belly, frowning slightly.

The weather was getting hotter, and the temperature in the morning had reached nearly thirty degrees.

Normal people, for safety reasons, might not wear short sleeves outside, but they also wouldn’t wear a heavy coat like Captain Zhu, as if hiding a secret beneath.

Captain Zhu wasn’t considered fat, but his belly was bulging, looking like he had gained a lot of weight.

The bulge was somewhat abnormal.

"Just hand him over first!"

Captain Zhu’s eyes were red, his whole body trembling slightly, enraged to the extreme.

He was at the edge of his patience.

He even doubted if the Xiao Song Zombie was still "alive"!

Zhang Yiming had so many zombie underlings, just a flick of his finger, and hundreds of zombies would die for him.

The Xiao Song Zombie hadn’t awakened its consciousness, and its level was low. If it really charged into battle like the other zombies for Zhang Yiming, it might have...

The more he thought, the more Captain Zhu became agitated.

Rage clouded his mind, on the verge of collapse, fingers pressing on his abdomen, as if he had made the worst decision.

"It’s right behind you."

Zhang Yiming’s face was calm.

"What?"

Captain Zhu turned abruptly, immediately seeing a lone zombie standing at the back of the crowd.

Its body was clean, not like the other zombies covered in black blood and filth.

It stood alone at the very back, its face full of rotting flesh, even dripping black blood.

It seemed the entire world’s loneliness had wrapped itself around it.

As Captain Zhu turned, Zhang Yiming vaguely saw two wires beneath the coat.

It was explosives.

This time, Captain Zhu truly came with the resolve to die.

"Xiao Song!"

Seeing Xiao Song Zombie appear for real in front of him, Captain Zhu heaved a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it hadn’t been sent as cannon fodder.

Without hesitation, Captain Zhu walked toward the Xiao Song Zombie.

Compared to Captain Zhu’s excitement and agitation, Xiao Song Zombie remained very indifferent.

Its grotesque face stared blankly at Captain Zhu, eyes devoid of emotion, like a puppet.

Xiao Song Zombie wasn’t without emotions; beneath its vacant face, the decaying mind raged with a bloodthirsty impulse.

Its eyes weren’t looking at Captain Zhu but at a heap of fresh flesh, meat that could satisfy its hunger.

As Captain Zhu approached, its Adam’s apple moved faster and faster.

If not for Zhang Yiming’s powerful brainwave suppression, it would have lost control, devouring any human regardless of who they were.

"Captain Zhu, do you have a death wish? It’s a zombie!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Just as Captain Zhu was about to rush in front of the Xiao Song Zombie, a Superpower User who came with them pulled him back.

Bystanders see clearly.

The zombie before their eyes had no consciousness; it would devour any flesh, regardless of who it was!

"Let go!" Captain Zhu shook off the person holding him, his gaze icy, "The Zombie King is right in front of you, and you still want to waste time?"

He wanted to kill Zhang Yiming because he took Xiao Song away. Now that Xiao Song was in front of him, Zhang Yiming’s life and death were of little concern to him.

Anyway, the people he brought wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Heh, once Zhang Yiming was dead, he would find a way to seize the Zombie King’s Crystal Core.

Today, he’d let the Crystal Core linger in their hands for a while. The priority was to take Xiao Song away first.

Once in possession of the Zombie King’s Crystal Core, after Xiao Song absorbed it, perhaps he would regain consciousness.

For now, he just needed to bring Xiao Song back, avoiding this muddy water.

Now that Xiao Song was found, the resolve to die wasn’t necessary; he simply wanted to survive together with Xiao Song.
