Jiang Jiang was unwilling to believe it. Little Jiang had been brought back from Hai Shang Island by them.
He was an orphan originally; how could a brother suddenly appear? It was utterly preposterous.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang looked at the Zombie King. "Have you been here all along, or did you follow us from Hai Shang Island?"
The Zombie King was asked and looked at Little Jiang, who was sitting on Jiang Jiang's shoulder, then back at Jiang Jiang. "It went to Hai Shang Island with elders from its family for a trip. I didn't go with it."
Hearing the Zombie King's explanation, Jiang Jiang didn't respond immediately. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Little Jiang. "Is he your brother? Do you still recognize him? If you recognize him, get off my shoulder. If you don't, sit still obediently. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. If I don't allow it, no one can take you away."
Jiang Jiang had grown very fond of Little Jiang, the little Zombie King, during their time together.
He had also diligently taught Little Jiang all sorts of skills and knowledge. He couldn't do without this lively little companion now.
Little Jiang heard Jiang Jiang's words. It looked at the Zombie King, then back at Jiang Jiang.
After looking back and forth a few times, Little Jiang still obediently slid off Jiang Jiang's shoulder and stood at Jiang Jiang's feet.
Although Little Jiang had slid off Jiang Jiang's shoulder and stood up on its own, it held onto Jiang Jiang's clothes and did not move towards the Zombie King.
Even though Little Jiang didn't walk towards the Zombie King, its action of sliding off Jiang Jiang's shoulder made Jiang Jiang feel a slight sense of loss.
Shang Qi observed the situation and spoke at the opportune moment. "Jiang Jiang, negotiation is important, but stopping the fight is also crucial. Ask it to have those zombies stop attacking, and we can also call for a ceasefire to adjust and rest."
"If your situation can't be resolved through negotiation anytime soon, your side will also be exhausted."
Jiang Jiang nodded obediently upon hearing Shang Qi's words. He looked at the Zombie King and relayed Shang Qi's message. "Tell your zombies to stop fighting. We can sit down and talk. We must have a good discussion about Little Jiang's whereabouts."
From Little Jiang's reaction, Jiang Jiang knew that Little Jiang recognized the Zombie King.
This meant that what the Zombie King said might be true, that he was indeed Little Jiang's brother.
If he was truly Little Jiang's brother, then no matter how much they liked Little Jiang, they couldn't keep him for themselves.
The Zombie King looked at Jiang Jiang, not responding immediately, but gazing into the distance.
Its zombie numbers were vast, but they actually couldn't gain an advantage. If this continued, its own side wouldn't benefit either.
Apart from its eyes, the Zombie King was indistinguishable from a normal person.
After thinking it through clearly, the Zombie King let out a long roar into the sky.
Following this roar, the zombies attacking Su Ling and the others froze in place as if they had been struck by acupuncture.
As the Zombie King's roar subsided, Shang Qi spoke at the right moment. "Ceasefire."
Shang Qi's voice seemed to possess a penetrating quality, quickly reaching the ears of Su Ling and everyone else.
Soon, both sides ceased fighting. Seeing that the zombies truly would not harm or attack them, Su Ling and the others began busying themselves by smashing zombie heads and collecting spirit cores.
The Zombie King observed Su Ling and the others' actions. Its mouth twitched, and it simply turned its head away, no longer watching.
Jiang Jiang, following Shang Qi's instruction, continued to speak to the Zombie King. "Come with us, let's go over there and sit down to talk properly?"
