☆、Pure, soft, and adorable little Zombie being pursued by a domineering Ability User (33)

The desolate, abandoned dirt road was swept by gusts of bone-chilling wind, but Qiu Ze felt nothing, as if his entire being was in a daze.

He hadn’t expected that, just as Shen Xuanmo had feared, halfway through the journey, those people would have malicious intentions.

He only remembered being suddenly knocked unconscious by something those people used on the road, and then faintly hearing them say, “Damn it! I’ve been putting up with this for a whole day. Why should a useless piece of trash who can’t do anything get the same treatment as us…”

“What if that Shen guy finds out?”

“What are you afraid of? As long as we insist that he was useless and got eaten by Zombies on the road, what can he do to us no matter how capable he is?”

“There isn’t a single Zombie here. Why should we put up with this humiliation!” This place wasn’t as dangerous as they had imagined. They didn’t need Shen Xuanmo and the others at all. Giving away so much food for nothing made them feel resentful.

The group was discussing how to execute their plan when the middle-aged man who was scouting ahead returned, concerned.

“What’s wrong? You haven’t caught up for a long time?” the middle-aged man said.

“You… what did you do to him? Are you crazy?” Seeing the youth lying on the ground with blood flowing from his head, the middle-aged man’s pupils dilated, and he rebuked in disbelief, “I think you’ve all gone mad! You don’t even spare your own people.”

“It’s not right to say that. With one less person, you’ll get a bigger share. Shouldn’t you be thanking us?”

“That’s right. Who wants to give away a portion of their supplies for no reason?”

The remaining people looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating their unwillingness.

More than half were newcomers on their first outing, and they didn’t find it as dangerous as rumored. They really didn’t understand why they had to not only cater to the newcomer but also give them priority with supplies.

The middle-aged man trembled with anger, pointing at them and shouting, “If you don’t give me an explanation today, see how you’ll account for this later!”

“Ha? Account for what?” The group exchanged glances and laughed nonchalantly.

“He accidentally fell and hit his head. What does it have to do with us?” A useless person, being able to live until now was already a blessing from his previous life. What else did he want? Did he really think they were fools?

In the apocalypse, true goodness and beauty were impossible. They had been holding back because they thought he was still useful.

Now, not to mention this piece of trash, even that aloof man might not come back.

The middle-aged man frowned and approached to check Qiu Ze’s injuries. He wanted to say something, but the tall young man next to him drew his knife. “If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being impolite.” Seeing this, the middle-aged man could only shut his mouth and slink away.

He knew in his heart that these people were definitely not telling the truth, but he was powerless to do anything.

Qiu Ze vaguely heard these words, his heart filled with anger, but he couldn’t move his body. He thought that he could still be saved.

But clearly, no one could save him.

Just then, a low roar came from afar, like the sound of Zombies approaching after smelling the scent of living people. The group panicked and began to flee in all directions.

“Run! There are Zombies!”

“Ah, don’t chase me!”

In the last moment of losing consciousness, Qiu Ze vaguely saw an enlarged face, somewhat resembling the little Zombie, as if saying something…

“Save me…”

At this time, a young man with a clear and handsome appearance noticed the cold person lying on the ground, “Hey, wake up! Are you still alive?”

On the other side, Shen Xuanmo vaguely sensed something amiss, shielding Nan Qing behind him and scanning the surroundings with a vigilant gaze.

Just now, he had seen someone following them from a corner behind. It was strange. There wasn’t a single person, let alone a Zombie, to be found here.

Before he could figure it out, a slightly hoarse male voice rang in his ears.

The high-ranking Zombie King appeared behind him in a flash, his gaze full of scrutiny as he looked at Nan Qing, “A special Zombie. Why is he so close to humans?”

Shen Xuanmo said coldly, “You’re a Zombie? It’s none of your business.” The Zombie King sneered.

“He should belong to me.” As he spoke, he teleported again in front of the little Zombie, reaching out to Nan Qing, who was tightly hiding behind the man.

“Awoo.” Nan Qing shrank back behind Shen Xuanmo, trying to hide himself. He recognized that this same type was the one who was constantly chirping in his ear just now.

Shen Xuanmo turned sideways to block the Zombie King’s outstretched hand, a glittering dagger appearing in his hand, stabbing straight at the Zombie King.

The Zombie King easily dodged, a playful smile on his face. “Human, do you think you can stop me?”

Shen Xuanmo held Nan Qing tightly, saying in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” Nan Qing looked up at him, his eyes filled with dependence.

The Zombie King narrowed his eyes, “I can let you go, as long as you leave him behind.” As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body.

“In your dreams!”

The atmosphere was tense, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified. “Nan Qing? You’re called Nan Qing? What a nice name! You’re my kind. Following me is the right choice.”

“Xuanmo.” Nan Qing shook his head, clutching tightly to Shen Xuanmo’s clothes.

Shen Xuanmo said, “He doesn’t want to go with you. I don’t care what he is. He’s mine now. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t get any ideas about him.”

The Zombie King became enraged, “Hmph, overestimating yourself.” Suddenly, his cold gaze swept over Shen Xuanmo and Nan Qing, and he let out a low roar.

The surrounding mid-ranking Zombies immediately became restless, and Nan Qing also trembled, as if he would be controlled like the other Zombies in the next second.

“Xuanmo.” Nan Qing timidly called out his caretaker’s name, his stiff feet uncontrollably leaving the ground, wanting to walk towards the same type in front of him.

Shen Xuanmo grabbed the boy, his heart jumping into his throat. He touched Nan Qing’s head, comforting him softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” Shen Xuanmo took out his weapon, preparing to fight.

“I don’t want to fight,” the Zombie King said, sensing Nan Qing’s fear and unease.

Shen Xuanmo guessed that the half-human, half-ghost in front of him should be the only high-ranking Zombie in this city, not only possessing the ability to control those below the high-ranking level but also awakening the ability to teleport.

The reason why the entire city gave people a strange and indescribable feeling, why not a single Zombie had been encountered, now made sense.

He just never expected that Zombies would evolve so quickly.

This high-ranking Zombie was swift in action, spoke fluently, and had the same thinking ability as humans. If it weren’t for those bright red eyes that were too obvious, he could completely disguise himself as a human without being recognized.

But what surprised them all was that even though Nan Qing had a tendency to be controlled, he didn’t completely lose his autonomy like other Zombies.

Nan Qing felt the pressure from the same type of king, subconsciously hiding behind Shen Xuanmo, cautiously poking his head out. As a result, when he saw those blood-red eyes, he immediately shrunk back.

Shen Xuanmo held Nan Qing’s hand tightly, shielding him behind him, and watched the Zombie King warily.

The Zombie King was silent for a moment before slowly approaching. He seemed to be sizing up Shen Xuanmo, trying to find the reason why this human could be with Nan Qing.

A fishy stench assaulted them, and Nan Qing timidly turned his head to look, his pupils reflecting the image of a decaying corpse pouncing at him.

Nan Qing’s eyes widened in horror, the entire Zombie throwing himself into the man’s warm embrace in fright.

Moving his line of sight downward, he saw a rolling eyeball. A female corpse with hideous features and a ferocious appearance picked up the eyeball that had fallen on the ground, the blood and rotting flesh smeared on it, extraordinarily gory.

She seemed to like Nan Qing very much, giggling inappropriately, her laughter sending shivers down one’s spine.

“Awoo.” Nan Qing nestled in Shen Xuanmo’s arms, his eyes tightly closed, his eyelashes trembling like two small brushes. Revealing a bit of innocence, arousing one’s desire to protect him.

“Do you really want to be with humans?” Don’t you know they’re dangerous?

The Zombie King ignored the female corpse who was busy putting her eyeball back in. He still didn’t understand why the little Zombie liked being with humans, and this human didn’t look like a good person and was very weak.

Wouldn’t it be better to follow him? No need to worry about not having enough to eat and no need to be afraid of being killed by humans.
