Chapter 208: Worry-Free in Life and Death (End)

Ten minutes meant ten minutes. Cheng Xie explained everything to the Su family as quickly as possible. Then, regardless of their reaction, he directly controlled them and took them away, arriving precisely on time in the last second.

He thought things were progressing smoothly. He had arrived on time, and he wasn’t afraid of Luo WuShang causing any more trouble.

But when he put down the person, stood firm, and raised his head, he realized… the sky had fallen.

“What are you doing?” Cheng Xie said, expressing his utter incomprehension of Luo WuShang’s actions at this moment.

Luo WuShang was behaving like an obedient subordinate, answering every question: “I’m grabbing the earth spirit Jīngpò and the fire spirit Jīngpò. Just give me two more minutes.”

Luo WuShang had overcome numerous obstacles to pinpoint their exact locations, just waiting to attack.

They had grown well in the past six months, but they were no match for the zombie king Luo WuShang now.

Cheng Xie’s lips twitched. He had already resigned himself to his fate and said in a flat tone, “Stop. Who told you to grab them?”

Luo WuShang looked at Cheng Xie, his eyes clearly conveying a silent, unspoken question:

Didn’t you say you wanted to collect all four Jīngpò?

Cheng Xie: “Why do you think I wanted you to bring Xie YunChuan?”

Luo WuShang said matter-of-factly, “It doesn’t matter. I would have brought him even if you didn’t say so.” He couldn’t bear to leave Xie YunChuan alone there.

Okay, Cheng Xie surrendered. “It’s not about bringing those two up; it’s about sending you down.”

Luo WuShang gave him a questioning look, and Cheng Xie had to add, “The land of spiritual nourishment also nourishes the spiritual objects. This is the most suitable place for a seal.”

Then he said directly, “Go down. Didn’t you find their location? We just need to get near them, and then you can take out the wood spirit Jīngpò and send it into Xie YunChuan’s body.

The zombie blood crystal’s aura will erupt completely, naturally attracting the four Jīngpò to compete to absorb its power. The zombie blood crystal will also allocate power to resist the Jīngpò, at which point you will fall into a deep sleep.

I will seize the opportunity to use the power of the four Jīngpò to seal and imprison the zombie blood crystal beneath this mountain range.”

Luo WuShang glanced at Cheng Xie indifferently, his red eyes shifting, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

Cheng Xie thought he was going to say something, but he saw him pick up Xie YunChuan and neatly turn around and jump into the crack.

… Well, he had thought he would have to spend some effort persuading him, but this saved him the trouble.

Hundreds of meters below, at the edge of the rolling lava, everything was ready.

Cheng Xie looked at the center of the surging lava and said, “Go in. I will complete the seal and bring Xie YunChuan out safely.”

Luo WuShang put Xie YunChuan down and obediently walked towards the center of the fiery flames. The crackling magma didn’t harm him at all.

Success was right before his eyes. Cheng Xie couldn’t hide his excitement. But in addition to the excitement, he couldn’t suppress a faint worry that was beginning to surface deep within him. Everything seemed to be going too smoothly.

Was Luo WuShang really this simple and obedient?

Then he thought, however, that the obsessive, single-minded thinking of intelligent zombies was a common trait, and Luo WuShang would be no exception.

Moreover, Cheng Xie had absolute confidence in his mental ability to discern things.

Thinking of this, he decisively put aside that last bit of concern.

When he saw the wood spirit Jīngpò being separated from Luo WuShang’s body, Cheng Xie was overjoyed. As expected, he had been overthinking things.

He watched as the Jīngpò got closer and closer to him, and the greed and desire in his eyes could no longer be concealed, nor was there any need to conceal it.

He reached out his hand, just a little bit, a little bit more, just that last little bit, and he would have it!!!

With the wood spirit Jīngpò, obtaining the zombie blood crystal was only a matter of time. The humans and zombies in this end of the world would all submit to Cheng Xie’s feet, forever and ever!

Excessive joy overwhelmed his acuity, causing him to ignore that as he got closer and closer to the wood spirit Jīngpò, it wasn’t just the Jīngpò that was moving towards him.

Within reach! Cheng Xie was about to grab it when he realized his body couldn’t move. He frantically rolled his eyes and suddenly realized that he was very close to Luo WuShang.

What was going on? Wasn’t he supposed to be suppressing his zombieness in the lava?!

Then he realized that it wasn’t Luo WuShang walking towards him, but that he was being sucked into the lava. But at this point, it was too late to react.

Luo WuShang was exuding a bloody, violent aura, glowing red, his eye sockets bloodshot and gradually turning muddy. With one hand, he pressed down hard on the position of the restless blood crystal heart in his chest, and with the other, he strangled Cheng Xie’s neck, pulling him close.

With his last bit of rationality, he said murderously, “I don’t understand schemes and tricks, but I know that human nature values profit above all else! I also understand that the only thing you can trust in this world is yourself!”

Bursting power overflowed. The four Jīngpò automatically filled the positions to form a four-cornered array. The earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the crack closed. After ten breaths, the array was complete!

…

A dozen kilometers away, Li Shi dropped the heavy object from his shoulder and collapsed on the ground. That was close! He almost got sucked back in. Luckily, he ran fast enough.

In addition to his relief, he couldn’t help but feel indignant. He had been grabbed by Luo WuShang again to be a coolie. Seriously, he was just using him, a single zombie!

He drooled at the unconscious Xie YunChuan, gnashing his teeth. What a fragrant piece of meat, what pure power! He really wanted to eat him in one bite!

But he didn’t make the slightest move. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he couldn’t…!

Luo WuShang had placed a blood curse on him, controlling him. Not only could he not eat Xie YunChuan, but he also had to stay by his side and do his best to protect him, helping him improve his strength.

What a joke! Was this something a zombie would do?

Heh, he was that joke.

Li Shi spat fiercely on the ground. Damn it, he was destined to be a little brother and a follower for the rest of his life. He was really unlucky!

The more Li Shi thought about it, the angrier he became. He hugged his head and started to act crazy, “Aaaah! Aaaah!”

Who told that old bastard that Luo WuShang wasn’t a zombie emperor yet?

He was going to die! He was screwing over himself and others!

——The End——

PS: It’s over. The ending may be a bit rushed, with too many loose ends. It feels like I could start a second part to the story, “Zombie Emperor and Human Boss,” but I don’t want to write it (at least not right now).

I’m very sorry to the little friends who followed the updates. I really updated so slowly that I wanted to kill myself. Not many people were reading it, but at least I persevered and finished writing it, giving an ending. It’s an explanation to the people who read the book, and also an answer to myself.

My first book. I don’t think I’m really suited to write the end-of-the-world genre. Right from the start, I was doing things like fighting, monsters, various level-ups, Jīngpò settings, and virus pathology. I don’t know how to do any of it. Alas! I have a lot of ideas and brain holes, but I really can’t write those scenes. I’m sorry, everyone!

See you in the next book!
