"Your name is Zhang Yiming, right?" The chubby man suddenly reacted, greedily looking at Zhang Yiming and Old Tao, "It’s not a good thing for zombies and humans to look alike. In the end, the anomalies will be purged."

Humans have always considered themselves at the top of the food chain, even if they are now too weak to resist the billions of zombies worldwide. They still believe that one day, humans will regain control of this world.

When they look at species other than humans, their gaze is always condescending.

Zhang Yiming looked coolly at the man speaking, his voice indifferent, "Don’t speak too soon; maybe one day you’ll turn into a zombie and won’t even qualify to be my subordinate!"

Old Tao watched the superpower users ready to strike, his brainwaves on the verge of an outburst.

Yet he never made a move.

One reason is that Taovillage originally coexisted peacefully with humans. Usually, the zombies in Taovillage were under his control and never harmed humans.

The other reason is that he didn’t understand how little violence Zhang Yiming meant by "not too violent."

Perhaps Zhang Yiming was afraid of scaring the Bai Family, afraid of scaring Leng Yebai!

Old Tao thought to himself that the Bai Family was much tougher than him.

A family with a vehicle can traverse the apocalypse unimpeded; it’s simply terrifying.

"Ha! A dead person still so sharp-tongued. When your crystal core is cut out, let’s see what else you have to say!"

An oily-faced chubby uncle let out a faint white vapor, a white jade-like mist swirling around him.

This was a mutated water ability user who could turn water into white mist.

The mist, pervasive and subtle, is hard to detect.

When one’s superpower reaches a certain level, the mist becomes a highly dangerous needle-like weapon, surpassing the water ability at the same level, the most successful state of water ability mutation.

Captain Zhu squinted at the chubby, greasy uncle, a flash of greed in his eyes.

Human superpower users can absorb the crystal cores from other human superpower users’ brains. The higher the rank, the more potent and pure the crystal core energy in their brains.

This mutated water ability user’s crystal core in his brain must be even more peculiar.

If absorbed, maybe it would have a better effect.

Captain Zhu was tempted.

Not to absorb it himself, but for the Xiao Song Zombie.

Not only did he want the crystal core in Zhang Yiming’s brain, but he also desired the one in the greasy uncle’s brain.

Not giving up on any way to restore Xiao Song Zombie’s consciousness, Captain Zhu had completely abandoned his principles.

"Wang Biao, I have to take Xiao Song away from here; you’re the captain now. I hope you can quickly decapitate the two Zombie Kings. When we return to the safety base, I will definitely give you an important position."

Captain Zhu offered an olive branch.

Wang Biao came from another safety base for the reward, seeking not only firearms, ammunition, and heavy trucks but also the Zombie King.

The world was overrun by zombies; if one could get hold of a Zombie King, even if it were only a shell without a crystal core, it would be something all major safety bases would vie for.

Everyone wanted to study the mystery of humans turning into zombies on the Zombie King.

"Haha, that’s good, but Captain Zhu, are you with the humans or the zombies?" Wang Biao glanced at the gruesome Xiao Song Zombie, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes, "The one next to you has already turned into a zombie. Do you still want to bring it back to the safety base?"

Captain Zhu didn’t miss the loathing in Wang Biao’s eyes, his fingers subconsciously tightening.

"It’s different from other zombies."

Captain Zhu raised his head, calmly looking at Wang Biao.

The rising waves in his heart soon vanished.

Because he needn’t argue with a dead man.

Wang Biao would die, turn into a zombie, not killed by Zhang Yiming, he would die tomorrow at Captain Zhu’s hand.

"Captain Zhu, you mustn’t act rashly. It may be different for you from other zombies, but actually, it is a zombie that will eat people."

An ability user’s hand held onto Captain Zhu, preventing him from approaching Xiao Song.

He was someone from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, barely considered Captain Zhu’s confidant. Among a group of people, he was the only one who seemed to care about Captain Zhu’s safety.

He didn’t genuinely care about Captain Zhu’s well-being, just feared that if Captain Zhu died, he would have no shelter when he returned to the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

"No problem, it’s just a zombie." Captain Zhu gave Zhang Yiming a glance, a dangerous smirk on his lips, "By the way, the Zombie King Zhang Yiming, who terrifies you, has human friends, the Bai Family. Didn’t they treat him as a friend, betraying humanity for him?"

Captain Zhu’s voice no longer held the righteousness of before, tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"The Bai Family? Who are they?"

Someone among the superpower users asked.

"Yes, Captain Zhu, hurry up and tell us! So we won’t be ambushed when we meet them!"

"It’s terrifying; there are truly humans who treat the Zombie King as a friend?"

"The Zombie King looks human, but it is indeed a zombie. Whose family would be this insane?"

"Really a disgrace to humanity, we should just drag them out, beat them up, and toss them into a pack of zombies!"

...

A group of people chattered and quietly discussed the Bai Family, all with expressions of righteous indignation on their faces.

Like they were condemning traitors betraying the people, full of righteous words.

Even Wang Biao, who was just about to act, wore a look of disbelief.

He thought it was incredibly bizarre for humans to be friends with a zombie.

"The Bai Family is truly a disgrace; if they love being friends with zombies so much, next time we meet them, why not just turn them into zombies?"

Wang Biao spat in the direction of Zhang Yiming, openly disdainful.

The other superpower users felt the same.

The reason they dared to ridicule the Bai Family so brazenly and mock the Zombie King Zhang Yiming, not fearing the two Zombie Kings at all.

Is because they hadn’t seen enough zombies to form a zombie tide; facing just a few dozen zombies didn’t pose a big threat to them.

Some had already made plans for the fight, determined to snatch a piece of Zombie King meat.

It would surely be invaluable.

Everyone reviled the Zombie King, but concealed within was envy.

Zombies remained undefeated in every country, and no nation could control the situation, indicating the apocalypse would last a long time, possibly indefinitely.

In the confrontation between humans and zombies, humans were perpetually on the weaker side.

To speak pessimistically, any day could be the day one turned into a zombie.

No matter how highly one thinks of oneself, the weak always find themselves caught off guard. If bitten or scratched by a zombie, they will surely become one.

There are two scenarios.

To become an ordinary zombie with no self-awareness, a face full of rotting flesh.

To become a Zombie King.

The ideal outcome would be to become a Zombie King. That way, there’d be no fear of zombie attacks, and one could experience a taste of being an Emperor, commanding hundreds of zombies with a mere gesture.

Eyes full of disdain, hearts filled with envy.

What effect would the flesh of a Zombie King have?

Could one become a Zombie King by relying on it?

The very notion made the Zombie King’s value immeasurable.

The crowd became more excited as they spoke, condemning the Bai Family while their eyes burned with passion, their superpowers quietly surging.

Ready at any moment to rush forward, tear out the crystal core from Zhang Yiming’s brain, and slice his flesh.
