Chapter 1816: Chapter 1809: Keeping the Appointment
Tang Ye shook his head in disappointment, seeing that Ah Fu still couldn’t identify the new color he wanted.
After dealing with the Nightmare Zombie King and returning to the Royal Court, the first thing he did was to find Ah Fu alone and placed the Evolution Crystal of the Level 9 zombie in front of him. But unfortunately, Ah Fu’s eyes couldn’t perceive this new color. Helpless, Tang Ye then gradually sought out other people. No matter whether it was zombies or new humans, the result was the same as Ah Fu.
This made him first choose Ah Fu, who was most loyal to him, to evolve into a Level 9 zombie. So in the following days, he thought of letting Ah Fu directly swallow the Evolution Crystal to see if he could evolve, but the energy contained within was too vast, and swallowing it recklessly meant that Ah Fu would very likely explode!
So ultimately, Tang Ye hesitated.
Just two days ago, Su Sigui suddenly invited him to the Cloud Gorge Base, ostensibly to share her joy and host a feast.
But Tang Ye was no fool. Being in the Royal Court, he could receive information about the outside situation.
After the Nightmare Zombie King, the rest of the Four Great Zombie Kings were also eager. Seeing this, the Four Great Zombie Kings seemed to know that the Nightmare Zombie King died at his hand and appeared to plan to invade China together. Tang Ye thought so because Kamutos had already crossed into India, and given a day, it could cross the Himalayan Mountain Range and enter China!
Yet it did not do so, unusually halting in a region in India. Then, the Northern Zombie King, leading all followers southward, gathered in nearby seas, still not landing. Lastly, the Abyssal Zombie King from Yansha also headed towards China.
Tang Ye substituted himself, moving at a slow and steady pace like an ordinary person walking. Without resting, ten days, and that’s on land, ten days would be enough for them to cross from Yansha to China!
If someone said these guys weren’t colluding, Tang Ye wouldn’t believe it one bit!
However, how are these Zombie Kings, far apart, contacting each other?
There’s only one possibility, which everyone suspected.
The Radiant Zombie King, Ryle, who had human living experience!
Besides himself, the Four Great Zombie Kings were nowhere to be found except this guy!
Other continents had become deserted for a long time, even when the Zombie Kings were hungry. As long as Ryle didn’t have a fear of social interaction, its mere lip movement could easily incite action among the Zombie Kings!
So now, Su Sigui is as if Mt. Tai is pressing atop her. It’s impossible for her alone to handle the Four Great Zombie Kings herself. She needs a helper, and the most suitable person is himself!
The so-called celebration banquet is almost certainly for this matter. However, based on Tang Ye’s understanding of the other side, letting him help her deal with the Four Great Zombie Kings is essentially sending himself to die.
In reality, he dealt with the Nightmare Zombie King entirely because of Lu Xiaojie. Unless the other side doesn’t drag him into that foolish illusion realm, purely relying on brute force in reality, to be honest, he could win, but it’s impossible to decide victory within fifteen days.
After this battle, Tang Ye completely understood that the battle of two Level 9 Zombie Kings has only one way to determine victory: to grind until the opponent’s stamina runs out!
If it’s just two individuals fighting until one kills the other, it would be too simple because humans have vital points, and if the method is right, it can incapacitate the opponent, even causing death outright!
But zombies are different, especially high-level zombies, aside from the Evolution Crystal, they have no vital points!
No matter if you gouge out its two kidneys, extract its heart, or even chop off its head, as long as the Evolution Crystal is untouched, it won’t die! Unless by luck you happen to grasp and pull out the opponent’s Evolution Crystal, but such a chance is akin to a lottery probability from a certain penguin.
And this is under one-on-one circumstances; if he chooses to help her, it wouldn’t be one-on-one, but one-on-two, or even one-on-three!
If defeated, it’d be a complete calamity.
To put it bluntly, the battle between Level 9 zombies is all about who exhausts first.
But judging from Su Sigui’s character, she finds this hard to do because she’s a strong person.
She’s also a transmigrator, right? The treatment of a protagonist’s luck shouldn’t be lacking, right? Novels develop this way, and she has reached this point.
But with reality here, a protagonist’s luck shouldn’t be that unbeatable; facing four Zombie Kings solo and winning would be beyond understanding!
Su Sigui doesn’t have the attributes of Long Aotian; she should know more than anyone that she needs help.
Tang Ye is very curious about what she will say to him, so he accepted the invitation.
Of course, he considered Su Sigui directly pleading for his help. Between yes and no, Tang Ye feels he would most likely choose the former.
Perhaps because of the illusion’s impact on him, living is just about seeing the world’s flora and fauna. If it’s truly like this, his two life experiences wouldn’t be as exciting as soldiers in the Dangerous Sanctuary City dying together with zombies.
So earlier, he placed another gamble on Ah Fu, yet the result was disappointing. If Ah Fu successfully evolved to Level 9, in a three on four situation, fighting tooth and nail to wear out one would be entirely possible!
And perhaps achieve victory, given that Tang Ye has confidence in the protagonist’s luck, of course, provided that such luck exists.
After coming out, the people outside quieted down, and the atmosphere became much quieter.
Looking around, besides them from the Royal Court, there were no people from Cloud Gorge Base. Tang Ye gestured downward with his hand, saying, "Let’s wait here for a while."
With his voice, the previously quiet atmosphere became noisy again. Saio, whose wig was torn, wasn’t satisfied and took the opportunity to hold Hu Ji tightly, grabbing and pulling his hair, seemingly intending not to stop until Hu Ji was as bald as himself.
Tang Ye then went to the edge of the landing platform and looked down. He had to admit, Cloud Gorge Base was indeed much more grand than the Royal Court, and in terms of land area alone, it was several times larger.
The towering steel wall stretched like a mountain range, encompassing the streets and intricate building group within. But compared to the last visit, Cloud Gorge Base was much broken now; many places bear scars from battles, especially in the south area where many buildings had collapsed, showing a blackened ruin from afar.
"What’s the time now?"
"Just past five twenty."
"It’s been so long already, why hasn’t Su Sigui sent someone to fetch us? Are they going to make us wait until nightfall?"
Not long had passed when the crowd from the Royal Court began to grow impatient and restless. At this moment, Huang Quanjiu approached Tang Ye with two others and said, "Boss, judging from this, Su Sigui’s people won’t arrive immediately. Why don’t we take a stroll elsewhere and return later?"
Tang Ye glanced at him and was about to agree when he suddenly sensed something and looked up behind Huang Quanjiu.
Two men in formal suits were walking across the arched bridge towards them, and as expected, they were Su Sigui’s people, though Tang Ye did not know them; they looked unfamiliar.
