Captain Zhu looked at the black blood on his arm, a strange smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, he had just transformed into the Zombie King. Once he ran out of Zhang Yiming’s brainwave range, he could barely restrain himself from submitting to Zhang Yiming.

He believed that as long as Zhang Yiming appeared in front of him again, he would undoubtedly kneel in submission.

This humiliating thought filled him with immense resistance as soon as it appeared in his mind.

No, impossible.

Zhang Yiming was his enemy, the Zombie King he must kill; how could he possibly submit to him!

Yet his instincts clearly told him he couldn’t resist Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves even a bit.

Captain Zhu’s fingers clenched together, his nails piercing his palm. He didn’t even notice the black blood flowing out.

After a long while, a sinister smile appeared on Captain Zhu’s pale face.

Fine, then leave here, and avoid appearing in front of Zhang Yiming for the time being.

He believed that as long as he kept honing himself, one day he would become the mightiest Emperor.

By then, he would personally watch Zhang Yiming submit at his feet and follow his commands!

Thinking of this, the hostility in Captain Zhu eased considerably.

Captain Zhu walked towards the heavy truck, searching for a while, and found only one heavy truck tire that hadn’t been bitten through, one he could barely use.

Captain Zhu directly opened the car door, not caring at all about the black blood on the truck.

Because he could no longer smell anything besides blood and flesh, nor could he feel any pain.

He had become the living dead he once despised.

When he stepped out of police school years ago, he could never have imagined he would end up like this.

At that time, he was filled with a sense of justice, eager to help anyone with grievances or difficulties.

Now, the bloodthirsty impulse was ever-present in his mind, almost becoming his instinct.

Those he once wanted to protect had become the food he most desired to tear apart and devour.

Some wandering zombies came over, stiffly bending down to move the zombie corpses off the ground.

Captain Zhu sat in the driver’s seat, quietly watching the zombies move the zombie corpses ahead.

This was the first time he commanded zombies to do tasks.

The feeling was exhilarating and fulfilling.

Even more so than when he painstakingly led the people of S City to escape during the apocalypse outbreak.

Being the bad guy is always easier than being the good guy.

Back then, he was still naively seeking out Uncle Wang, earnestly persuading him to help clear the way, nervously taking the people from S City away from there.

He became a hero in some people’s eyes.

Ha ha.

Captain Zhu glanced at the black blood on his arm, his eyes full of mockery.

At that time, he still counted as a righteous person, but how many of those he painstakingly brought out survived?

Even if they didn’t perish in the mouths of mutant rats, they died at the hands of zombies.

The only survivors were probably the Bai Family, right?

A cold gleam flashed through Captain Zhu’s eyes.

He understood that the reason Zhang Yiming wanted to eliminate him completely and took away the Xiao Song Zombie was because of the Bai Family.

The Bai Family were the true culprits.

Fine, fine.

An almost tangible hostility emanated from Captain Zhu.

Now that he had become the Zombie King, what was there to fear? Humans, no matter how powerful, are ultimately human.

There would surely be a time when Zhang Yiming wouldn’t be with the Bai Family, and he simply couldn’t let go of a chance to eradicate the Bai Family.

The zombies piled ahead had been partially moved away, leaving just a few scattered across the road.

Several zombies stiffly bent down, painstakingly dragging a corpse to the roadside.

The heavy truck emitted a slight rumbling sound.

Captain Zhu, with a calm expression, drove the heavy truck forward, crushing over several zombies moving the corpses.

The sound of bones snapping echoed.

The heavy truck didn’t slow down but accelerated, speeding towards Shanghai.

The crushed zombies’ heads weren’t injured and were still considered "alive"; their legs grotesquely twisted, unable to stand up again.

Its rotten face had no expression, only its stiff hands barely dragging a corpse to the roadside.

It was still executing Captain Zhu’s earlier command,

with Zhang Yiming there, staying wasn’t a good option.

Zhang Yiming could effortlessly read his thoughts and memories, surely knowing how intensely he wished to kill Zhang Yiming and the Bai Family.

The only place where he could avoid being controlled by Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves and improve his strength was Shanghai.

With numerous zombies and High Rank Zombies everywhere in Shanghai,

it was a place where he could effortlessly command a large group of zombie henchmen and quickly improve his strength.

If there comes a day when his power surges, he will certainly return here.

By then, not only Zhang Yiming and the Bai Family but even the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, he wouldn’t spare!

The black heavy truck sped ahead under the moonlight, appearing to have the determination to cut off all possibilities of retreat.

There was an air of a hasty escape.

...

Morning.

A wonderful day began with the Bai Family having breakfast.

Thoroughly cooked millet porridge, golden fried eggs, along with a small dish of sour green beans.

A very simple breakfast, but the Bai Family savored it.

With abundant supplies in the space, the Bai Family never lacked food and drink, frequently enjoying meat.

Occasionally having a "poor" breakfast made their stomachs feel much more comfortable.

For the Bai Family, today’s breakfast was "poor."

But for people outside, it was already quite a luxurious breakfast.

"Sis, where do you think Grandpa and Grandma could have gone?"

Bai Yifan ate his egg, gazing out the window.

Yesterday, the future Grandpa and Grandma just said they had matters to attend to and then simply left, nowhere to be found.

Since driving off in the bus, Bai Yifan hadn’t seen the future Grandpa and Grandma again.

He only saw Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming had returned the drone Bai Yifan left in a tree by the Yellow River Beach, they had dinner, and then he also left.

The Bai Family stopped their bus in an uninhabited countryside, not venturing elsewhere, shut the door, and rested.

They slept till naturally waking up.

"No idea, Grandpa and Grandma just left without saying where!"

Bai Xiqin complained while looking out the window.

Having finally found the future Grandpa and Grandma, she really wanted to stay with them a little longer!

"Slurp, slurp~"

Bai Zhengxuan kept his head down, silently sipping his millet porridge.

"Sigh! I hope Dad and Mom won’t run off next time we meet; seriously, it’s so dangerous in the apocalypse, and they make us worry so."

Bai Anhai couldn’t hold back, voicing his complaint.

"Slurp, slurp~"

Bai Zhengxuan continued loudly sipping the millet porridge.

"Right! Dad’s right! Grandpa and Grandma always run off; it’s too dangerous. Next time we see them, let’s tie them in the bus for peace of mind!" Bai Xiqin’s face showed a grudge.

She almost wanted to actually tie them in the bus.

"Cough, cough~"

Sipping the millet porridge, Bai Zhengxuan choked.

The Bai Family all turned their eyes simultaneously towards Bai Zhengxuan, expressions filled with reproach.

As if saying, the future you are so inconsiderate, making the younger generation worry so much.

Liu Jing: ...

Bai Zhengxuan: ...

Liu Jing silently put down her bowl and chopsticks, looking out the window.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?" Bai Yifan asked.

"Almost June, seeing if it can snow," Liu Jing replied.

She and her husband felt unjustly wronged!

They were not the ones always running off, okay!

Bai Yifan: ...
