"How should I address you?" Su Sigui did not start imdiately but instead asked this question.
"Old Wang, you can call Old Wang."
"Old Wang, huh? Okay, let’s begin."
"What do you want to calculate?"
"When can I evolve to Level 9?" Su Sigui asked this question.
As soon as she spoke, the people around her instantly fixed their gazes on her, and the expressions in their eyes changed dramatically!
"She...! She is the mayor of the City of Bright Moon!"
"Su Sigui!"
Soone recognized Su Sigui and was startled. Then, the surrounding people hurriedly scrambled away; they never imagined they could be so close to such a figure!
The revelation of her identity caused one-tenth of the people there to clear out, with only a few individuals watching from a distance.
Old Wang did not answer imdiately. He seed to go silent, as if Su Sigui’s question was simply unanswerable. After all, resources weren’t crucial to successfully evolving from Level 8 to Level 9; luck played the largest part.
He stood there like a statue, seemingly unable to react. Su Sigui quietly waited for his response. But after a while, she quickly noticed Old Wang’s movents; his wooden stick was unconsciously drawing circles on the ground, very precise circles, as if he held an invisible compass in his hand, each rotation leaving behind a perfect circle!
The stick moved little by little from the starting point, finally reaching the endpoint, connecting back to the beginning—forming a complete circle—just as Su Sigui noticed the stick in his hand and Old Wang stopped moving, a perfect circle!
"What does that an?"
"Rebirth."
Old Wang spoke just two words, leaving Su Sigui deeply puzzled!
By the ti she realized, the man called Old Wang had already stood up and quickly walked away. The three Level 8 New Humans next to her instinctively started to follow him but were a step too slow; Old Wang had already created a significant gap between them.
"Darn, another Level 8 New Human, who is this guy? So boring?"
"Don’t bother chasing him," said Su Sigui, raising her hand, her eyes filled with the sa deep perplexity!
The two words spoken by Old Wang, combined with the circle he drew with the stick in his hand, gave her a very familiar feeling, as if an inspiration flashed through her mind, appearing for an extrely brief mont before disappearing without a trace. There was a hint of recognition, yet it was so elusive that it couldn’t be grasped.
It was like having a dream at night, a very familiar dream, feeling as if she had the sa dream before, but unable to recall when exactly that was.
...
On the other hand, Xu ngyun moved swiftly. She didn’t know where the Level 8 zombie that had been tracking and monitoring her was now, but at that mont she couldn’t care less about her safety. She only kept accelerating, unleashing the full speed of a Level 6 New Human. With each leap at high speed, she surpassed countless buildings, her silhouette turning into a streak of light, tirelessly approaching the Shelter!
As she got close to the Shelter, she saw more and more people gathering together, holding their phones, caras aid in a certain direction, probably filming sothing. Their eyes were all looking toward where the caras pointed.
anwhile, noisy discussions erupted from people’s mouths. She didn’t listen closely; she had no ti for that. Her gaze turned in the direction people were looking, and her heart instantly chilled.
The entire building at that mont, including the yard behind it, was tightly wrapped by nurous tentacles, three layers inside and three outside. The tentacles were covered with vertical-pupiled eyes, watching the surroundings in a 360-degree manner without any blind spots!
Those tentacles were clearly the ans of a zombie! Because of this, people could only watch from afar, none daring to get closer. The appearance of a Level 8 zombie at Cloud Gorge Base had already terrified them. The reason people didn’t leave was that they knew the Level 8 zombie appeared because of Li Henian, bringing an inexplicable sense of security to the survivors, seemingly certain that the Level 8 zombies at Cloud Gorge Base wouldn’t attack humans.
Xu ngyun couldn’t care less. She sped up, dashing to the front gate, fists clenched, ready to smash. However, it seed as if the tentacles were just waiting for her; before she could strike, the tentacles in front of her wriggled aside to open a gap, big enough for Xu ngyun to slip through.
Xu ngyun dropped her raised fist and without hesitation, dived in. Inside the Shelter, it was pitch dark. The tentacles wrapped the entire yard tightly, even the sky above, allowing no sunlight to penetrate. She saw children, Sugiyama Ryoko, Long Yingjia, Uncle Li, and others all huddled in a corner, sharp tentacles encircling them as if to prevent them from suddenly escaping.
Fear was evident on everyone’s faces, and the occasional tentacles coming too close to them would cause so children to scream. She also saw Xiang Shan, his entire body encased by tentacles, nearly turned into a cocoon, only his head showing, his face also filled with shock.
This was a Level 8 zombie! A genuine, fully combat-capable Level 8 zombie!
Although Xiang Shan was also a Level 8 zombie, he specialized in ntal abilities, and such zombies are known for their low combat capability. Even at Level 8, although stronger than Level 7, within the echelons of Level 8, their combat power is among the lowest. Xu ngyun couldn’t understand why this Level 8 zombie wasn’t controlled by Xiang Shan.
She rembered Xiang Shan could control multiple Level 8 zombies, although for a limited ti, easily handling another Level 8 zombie for a day or two was easily within his capability.
Xiang Shan seed to guess what Xu ngyun was thinking and could only offer her a wry smile.
He indeed could control Level 8 zombies of the sa type as himself, but that guy, also a ntally evolved zombie, had a combat power that could rival other types of Level 8 zombies. How could that make any sense?
He had no solution.
"Co out!" Xu ngyun shouted toward a particular room; she knew the zombie was inside.
Soon, the door to the room opened, and a man walked out. However, his gaze wasn’t on her but was playing with a small creature in his hand, also a zombie, but of an unknown zombified species.
"I don’t know how you avoided Tu-E, but now, you should just hand over the purifier," he said. "I can let these people go, and you can go wherever you want without worrying about anyone bothering you."
