Chapter 1810: Chapter 1803: Empress
"No! I didn’t, I don’t know how she knew about my memory, and then she actually made me come to an ocean. Oh my god! I had no control over myself there. Of course, I’m not talking about my limbs, it’s because she made me into prey."
"You were still scared?"
"Sort of." When Chen Chaoyang snapped at him, Ryle felt a bit frustrated, and with nothing left to say, he could only admit it.
"And then you abandoned your followers?"
"Being scared wasn’t the main reason. It’s because I realized I was missing something."
"What was it?"
"I can’t recall, but I noticed some of my things were disappearing, so I had to give up."
"You can’t remember?"
"I’ve forgotten what I’m missing."
Chen Chaoyang sat down, seemingly contemplating something, while Ryle seemed a bit excited, perhaps because Chen Chaoyang understood.
He quickly continued, "Now you know how terrifying the Zombie King on your side is, right? I don’t care how he clears the game, but I was fortunate to encounter you at first. Compared to getting a larger piece of the pie, I value safety more."
"It’s no big deal."
"No, you can’t think that way. At our level, none of us have experience fighting enemies of the same level, but he has. Among the six of us, I don’t know my position in terms of strength. It’s very likely that I’m at the bottom. If not, until I get a definite answer, I always believe there’s someone stronger than me."
Chen Chaoyang looked at him deeply. Suddenly, he somewhat admired this guy. Even a zombie could think about this issue and understand the principle that there’s always someone better.
As for humans, many don’t recognize this. He felt somewhat sardonic; the heavens are out to destroy humanity. At that time, no matter what he did, he couldn’t blame himself...
He had to admit that what this guy said made sense. There’s always someone stronger. Just comparing himself to the other person, the gap between same-level zombies and humans was clear. If he were to fight, although Chen Chaoyang wouldn’t be completely crushed, he couldn’t maintain an even playing field; at best, it would be sixty-forty. Compared to humans using weapons, zombies were more flexible and varied in combat, using any part of their bodies as weapons!
"It seems you’ve understood my words. Take a look at this. I have something very twisted here, though it happened to us zombies. What do you think now?" Ryle’s smile turned mocking as he spoke, turning his phone screen toward Chen Chaoyang. He glanced at it; the video showed a city submerged in flesh and blood, a city he didn’t recognize, probably not belonging to the Chinese Continent.
The sky over there appeared oppressively eerie, a dark purple. Countless tiny spores floated in the air, and a vast array of bizarre plants took the flesh scattered like foam as soil, showcasing their twisted vitality.
"Hehehe." Ryle chuckled lowly, then withdrew the phone, while Chen Chaoyang snorted coldly. Naturally, he could tell this guy was mocking him, so he got up and headed for the door.
"See to your own business, I’m leaving."
"Hey, I don’t want to stay here overnight!"
"Aren’t you fond of enjoying it?" Chen Chaoyang suddenly turned back to look at him, his expression quite surprised.
"I was before, but now I’ve decided to speed up."
"Why? Oh~ I guess you’re provoked by your kind?"
"Sort of... I’m sure that guy is quite smug right now, with many humans treating him like a god! I really want to know now..." Ryle’s expression turned excited, his hands trembling as he crossed and twisted them together, and his smile gradually became perverted.
"He could kill one of us. If, by then, we five invade China, I’m really curious to know, at that time, would he fight to the death for his territory, kneel and beg for mercy, or... join us?"
"I’m looking forward to his reaction, buddy. I hope you understand, so I’m already impatient!"
In the room, a human and a zombie stared at each other like this. After a while, Chen Chaoyang suddenly laughed, somewhat maniacally, and said, "I’ve suddenly taken a liking to you."
"Oh~ I certainly like you too, buddy, but I hope you’re not gay."
"What do you think?"
"We’re partners, aren’t we?"
"Then let’s go."
...
"Hey, bro, you guys should just honestly stay home these days and not go out. It’s chaos out there, and I’ll have someone send supplies over at intervals..."
"We all know, we’ve fortified everything that needed it here, so ordinary people can’t get in either."
"Alright, then. I’ll hang up first, lots of affairs to handle."
"Wait a second."
"What else?"
"Is it true that the Zombie Kings from other continents are migrating here? I saw the news yesterday, it was explosive everywhere, and it’s strange that the information bureau hasn’t blocked it..."
"Those news are true, but I warn you not to stir things up. We’re different from others, just do what we’re supposed to do."
"No, bro, hear me out first."
"Speak."
"I heard from a black market merchant that now all Level 8 New Humans have been reshuffled. Then recently, those people above are building a large sanctuary 17,000 meters underground. Qualified to hide there are only ordinary people..."
"Shut up, you’d better not say those words. Knowing it, act like you don’t know! That’s a last resort left by that great figure for humanity..."
"It’s just Su Sigui, what great figure? Just luckier, being able to evolve to a Level 9 New Human is actually..."
"Shut up! Do you know what that means? If someone hears you, you won’t even know how you die!"
"Okay, okay, I get it. I just want to ask if you, bro, have any way to let me in to hide from disaster in the future."
"No!"
"How can you not have a way, I’m your own brother! How can you bear to see me..."
Beep beep beep~
With the sound of the phone powering off, the voice on the other end came to an abrupt halt. The man in the lab coat angrily tore open the phone, removed the card, and crushed it into pieces. Then, as someone passed by, his expression swiftly changed as if nothing had happened.
Two weeks ago, after Su Sigui announced that she had evolved into a Level 9 New Human, within just three days, except for the eleven Level 8 New Human powerhouses who survived the last meeting of the conference group, all other Level 8 New Humans were reshuffled. A large number of Level 7 and Level 6 New Humans had their Evolution Crystal Cores confiscated. Regions both inside and outside of China were unified with Cloud Gorge Base as the center of power.
It was as if the Chinese Continent had turned into a Nazi empire overnight!
He no longer knew how many times he’d heard, "Long live Su Sigui."
And some of the radicals even referred to Su Sigui as the Empress!
