Just like that, Xu Haishui killed Mi’er, the zombie who only had eyes for him. Mi’er had shared countless days and nights with him, filled with sadness and joy, helping him overco despair ti and ti again.
Yet at this mont, he killed the woman he loved to alleviate the emptiness in his mory.
Over the years, even a dog could develop feelings, but Xu Haishui, having killed Mi’er, had no guilt. This seed to be the consequence of having no feelings.
After Xu Haishui and the female zombie Mi’er turned into pupas, Tang Ye just sat on a chair and waited, chain-smoking. When he ran out, he sent Ah Fu to find more. After several trips, cigarette butts piled on the ground near Tang Ye’s foot. The two Level 3 zombies outside were, at so point, decapitated by Ah Fu and their bodies quietly moved to the side.
The next morning, Tang Ye noticed so movent in the pupa. His spirits perked up a bit. After smoking so many cigarettes, even the normally unfeeling zombies would have a slight numbing sensation in their mouths, and each exhale carried a heavy scent of smoke.
Soon, the pupa started undulating, rising and falling, as though there was soone breathing inside. After so ti, the pupa stopped moving. Its bright red color seed to be drained all at once, starting to dry up, finally turning a brown color.
Whoosh...
A hand suddenly protruded from the pupa facing Tang Ye. The back of the hand was covered in yellow-brown scales, and there were three bone blades, half a ter long, forming claw-like knives on the palm.
The skin on the arm that wasn’t covered in scales was cracking. At first glance, Tang Ye thought the skin was rotting, but on closer inspection, he realized that the skin was turning to stone!
The dry pupa was torn open by the claw, revealing Xu Haishui inside, while the whereabouts of the female zombie were unknown.
Seeing Xu Haishui erge, Tang Ye curled his lips. He didn’t look like he’d ascended to a higher level. Based on what Tang Ye felt, he was still undoubtedly a Level 4, only his appearance had significantly changed.
The original Xu Haishui’s face, palms, neck and other places not covered in scales had all turned to stone. It looked coarse but the multitude of cracks winding around like pythons, with so blood-red stripes, were full of depth!
His hair had turned from black to a very deep red, emanating a repelling scent.
He ca out with excitent in his eyes, and said a sentence to Tang Ye, "Tang Ye, we succeeded... Ah... Ah... Ha... Ha..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Haishui suddenly froze on the spot, fell to the ground, and scread, rolling around frantically as if being tortured by soone else!
Xu Haishui, in his agony, couldn’t figure out what was happening. He only felt his neck being gripped by a strong hand and was lifted up, then everything started spinning.
Boom!
The wall broke open with a loud noise, and Tang Ye jumped off the building holding Xu Haishui. He harshly slamd him on the ground, cracking the floor tiles.
"Call ’Master!’"
Thud!
Splash!
The upper half of Xu Haishui’s torso was blown to bits by a trendous force, then he was thrown aside. Tang Ye stood in the middle of the spider-web-like cracks, looking at the flying Xu Haishui, a deep disappointnt flitted through his eyes.
What he wanted was not for Xu Haishui to retain his mories after succeeding, but for him to lose all his mories after succeeding and to be utterly loyal to him like Ah Fu. However, things did not work out the way he wanted, making Tang Ye quite angry!
But what angered him the most was that despite his life being in his hands, Xu Haishui dared to consider himself his equal?
Tang Ye took a big step forward, picked up Xu Haishui again, and said coldly to him, "I know what you’re up to. But your life is in my hands right now. No matter where you run to, I just need one thought and you die instantly! Hehe, I only have one question for you, are you afraid of death?"
Xu Haishui, held by Tang Ye, looked awful, his zombie face very savage. It has to be said that at the beginning of their deal, Xu Haishui completely underestimated this.
In his opinion, Ah Fu, the big guy being controlled by Tang Ye, rely couldn’t resist Tang Ye’s consciousness. Xu Haishui had been prepared from the beginning. As a ntal type zombie, the zombies he controlled could never be taken away by other high-level zombies, all because his psychic control was strong enough, and his mastery over controlling zombies was very proficient!
Since his psychic control was strong, other zombies attempting to control him should not render him completely absorbed by another creature’s consciousness.
For this reason, Xu Haishui was willing to align his loyalty with Ah Fu’s and guessed correctly that Tang Ye had established a psychic connection with him. Although one was the dominant and one was the submissive, Xu Haishui could resist Tang Ye’s consciousness.
Since he could resist Tang Ye, the dominant party, Xu Haishui determined that after he beca like Ah Fu, he could resist as well, disregarding Tang Ye’s orders.
With such a mindset, Xu Haishui acted without fear, planning to run far away once the plan was successful. While Tang Ye’s control over Ah Fu seed to have no distance limit, resistance was still possible.
As for the bargaining chip he gave Tang Ye, the loyalty like Ah Fu’s, that was just a joke by Xu Haishui to amuse Tang Ye. In the apocalypse, loyalty was worthless!
Unfortunately for Xu Haishui, his luck was both good and bad. He had not beco utterly loyal like Ah Fu, and had lost all subjective consciousness. But what he did not expect was that after this project was completed, the lives of him and Ah Fu would completely belong to Tang Ye!
He could never forget the pain he just felt, like his soul was being pierced by thousands of needles. That type of pain could not be felt physically, and it was so painful that even a zombie like him wanted to die imdiately!
Xu Haishui looked into Tang Ye’s eyes. At this mont, he was scared. Not because Tang Ye might kill him imdiately, but because he might allow him to live and inflict that imnse pain on him at any ti or place!
That was what scared him the most!
Ever since he beca a zombie, Xu Haishui had killed too many people. He understood very well that death was not scary at all, it was rely never waking up after your head tilts to the side. What scared people was the process of waiting for death!
Knowing that you’re going to die, but can’t escape it, such a feeling can drive a person crazy!
"Are you afraid of death?"
Seeing him distracted, Tang Ye asked again, his voices ca out hoarse and ferocious.
Xu Haishui ca back to his senses and then said, "Seems you knew all along. Hahaha, my treasured plan got destroyed by you, hehe, as for death, you asked if I’m afraid or not? That’s a question to be asked to you, If you’re afraid, I’m afraid too!"
