The two of them acted with such boldness, clearly on purpose.
The zombie hidden in the tree was clearly getting angry.
It didn't want to confront Su Ling and Shang Qi. It could sense that Su Ling and Shang Qi were very strong, exceptionally strong.
So, when its hiding spot was destroyed by Su Ling and Shang Qi, it didn't dare to rush out and could only hide away in grievance.
It thought that if it couldn't win, it would flee, flee far away.
But who knew, it hadn't been on this big tree for long before Su Ling and Shang Qi caught up.
If they caught up, they still came to the bottom of the tree where it was hiding to eat breakfast.
It was infuriating!
As Su Ling and Shang Qi ate their breakfast, perhaps stimulated by their breakfast, the zombie king in the tree experienced great emotional fluctuations, which they could sense even while sitting at the base of the tree.
This zombie king in the tree was also a zombie king with quite a temper.
Su Ling and Shang Qi remained vigilant throughout. Such emotional volatility indicated an awakened zombie king, unlike the zombies that would only bare their fangs and pounce when they saw humans.
This was a zombie king that could think, with an intelligence approaching that of humans.
However, the stage of its intelligence remained to be verified.
Soon, Su Ling and Shang Qi finished their breakfast. They packed up the table, cleaned up the trash, and stood up to leave the tree.
Those eyes had been staring at them the whole time. Seeing them leave, the zombie king couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Ling and Shang Qi exchanged glances. This was the moment.
Shang Qi made the move, and several ice arrows flew out, targeting a specific spot on the big tree.
The ice arrows hit their mark, exposing the invisible zombie king.
Seeing that it had been discovered, the zombie king simply stopped hiding and revealed itself.
Su Ling and Shang Qi also got a clear look at the zombie king that had been secretly watching them.
It was a zombie king of about five or six years old, its appearance almost identical to a normal human child, except for its eyes, which glowed with a faint blue light, their pupils dilated and unfocused. It was covered in ice arrows, clinging to the tree trunk and glaring fiercely at Su Ling and Shang Qi, baring its teeth at them.
This was a mutated zombie with awakened intelligence, capable of thought and fear of the strong. Perhaps because it was a child, despite its own strength, it was very afraid of Su Ling and Shang Qi.
It wasn't exactly fear; it was more curious about Su Ling and Shang Qi. Even though it was injured by Shang Qi's ice arrows, it didn't become ferociously enraged. Instead, it pretended to be fierce to scare Su Ling and Shang Qi, tilting its head and observing them.
Seeing that the two were not intimidated, it seemed anxious and frustrated.
What made Su Ling and Shang Qi chuckle was that the little zombie king's pocket was full of bananas. Were these its post-apocalyptic food?
Su Ling and Shang Qi couldn't be sure, but this little zombie king was undeniably a bit cute!
Shang Qi looked at the little zombie king, which flinched backward at being looked at.
As it retreated, the bananas in its pocket fell out, plummeting from the tree and splattering on the ground, turning into mush.
The little zombie king looked at the mushy bananas on the ground, and a look of regret flickered across its face, which was otherwise indistinguishable from a human child's.
Although it was fleeting, Su Ling and Shang Qi still caught it.
This little zombie king was really interesting, treating bananas as food rather than survivors.
With this thought, Su Ling waved to the little zombie king. In her hand was a large bunch of plump bananas. "Come down, come with me, and I guarantee you'll never run out of bananas?"
