Moreover, Su Sigui herself didn’t expect to encounter Li Henian here. Lin City was the birthplace of the Chinese Zombie King. She didn’t know Li Henian’s origins from her previous life, but now, he appeared in Lin City.
The Zombie King was in Lin City, and Li Henian had a strange thod that prevented zombies from attacking. This thod did not apply to individuals, such as Su Sigui, but instead to a group!
Su Sigui was a pacifier; Zombies wouldn’t attack her, but just because they wouldn’t attack her didn’t an they wouldn’t attack her subordinates. It was impossible that all of Li Henian’s n would be pacifiers. That would be too outrageous and unbelievable.
Li Henian was in Lin City, and so was the Zombie King. Judging by his expressions, movents, and certain minute details, it seed like he had been here all along, keeping an eye on her battle with the Zombie King.
Moreover, when the Zombie King killed the Level 5 Death God zombies before, the Level 5 Evolution Crystal that flew out was headed in this direction.
All of this was too suspicious. If Li Henian claid that he had no connection with the Zombie King, no one would believe him.
So it seems, Li Henian definitely had so unspeakable dealings with the Zombie King!
In Su Sigui’s previous life, she had never seen Li Henian in person, having only seen his photos or heard of his reputation. Even if one was apart from their loved ones for a long while and then reunites, the first reaction would be of non-recognition, let alone a stranger whom she had never t?
The reason Su Sigui could recognize Tang Ye as Li Henian at first glance was due to the presence of Ah Fu, one of his n. With his towering stature of three ters, there were very few evolutionists with such a height in the new world. Even if one couldn’t recognize Ah Fu’s face, his physique alone would give one a good guess.
As Tang Ye observed her, occasional flashes of inexplicable emotions or faint murderous intent could be seen in his eyes. He didn’t know Su Sigui’s current state. If she was just pretending, perhaps he could take this opportunity to kill her off.
However, he couldn’t be sure. Tang Ye didn’t dare to act rashly. She didn’t recognize him now. She was an enemy of the Zombie King, but she held no grudge against him. There was also no need to add an enemy to his current identity. He had to be absolutely sure before making a move.
If she managed to escape, things would beco awkward later.
From first appearances, Su Sigui seed frail compared to Tang Ye, only reaching up to his shoulders. It was hard to imagine that such a small body contained such imnse power.
In the midst of the previous battle, Tang Ye couldn’t help but wonder, if he were a human, what were his chances of winning against her.
In his Zombie King form, he relied on the abilities inherent to zombies to gain a slight upper hand. But if he were in his Level 6 New Human form, her rich combat experience could make her toying with him, much like an expert player in an online ga.
To be honest, Tang Ye had a certain understanding of his own strength. Without his Zombie King form, he was on the sa level as Xu Tianyu.
At the sa ti, Tang Ye felt sowhat disheartened. On a certain level, he really didn’t want to admit defeat to anyone else, let alone a woman!
Seeing the varying emotions in Tang Ye’s eyes, Su Sigui scorned him inwardly. She had seen a lot of this. Every individual, regardless of their strength, has an innate sense of competition. When they encounter an existence stronger than them, they might feel intimidated, unwilling to compete, for fear of losing.
Conversely, when they encounter soone weaker than them, they also despise the idea of competing, because they regard the other party as beneath them. But when they encounter soone of equal standing and strength, that’s when they get the itch to compete. After all, no one wants to admit they’re inferior to soone like themselves.
She scrutinized Tang Ye’s sharp features, finding them increasingly familiar. She seed to have seen this face sowhere. It was not from the photos she saw in her previous life, but rather in a blurry, distant mory.
"Could this be..."
Puzzled, Su Sigui tried hard to recall when she had t him from her mories, but she couldn’t rember. It was too far back, seemingly right before the Apocalypse, but she wasn’t sure. She didn’t know when or where to look, her post-Apocalyptic tis were completely excluded.
She was confident that she had t him before the Apocalypse!
In a blurry flashback, she saw an image of a hand reaching out to her. The owner of the hand stood against the backdrop of the high sun. The bright sunlight stinging her eyes, she could not make out the person’s face, only a vague silhouette.
"Hang in there, live on..."
The individual left these words and walked away. She could only rember these six words, nothing else.
"Is it him?"
Su Sigui couldn’t be sure whether it was the sa person before her. It looked sowhat similar, but at the sa ti, it didn’t.
However, she quickly dismissed the thought, sitting down next to Tang Ye as if they had known each other for a long ti.
A pale blue lady’s cigarette was flicked out, the tip lit by an orange fla. The faint smoke drifted into the air with the gentle breeze.
"Give one."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"It’s a lady’s. You sure you want it?"
"What?"
Tang Ye’s face flushed and he had no choice but to pull out a cigarette and light it. The smoke from both their cigarettes intertwined in the air. For so reason, Tang Ye found it strange. Did she co just to smoke with him?
"So, do you have a grudge with that zombie?"
"No."
"Then why were you fighting so hard? It’s like they desecrated your ancestors’ graves."
Tang Ye’s choice of words was peculiar. Su Sigui frowned and glanced at him. As expected, one had to directly interact with a person to really understand them. In her previous life, she had heard how cruel this man was and subconsciously believed that he would be as cold and ruthless like her. But now, she realized...
Nevertheless, in response to Tang Ye’s joking tone, she still answered seriously.
"No, I was just ssing around."
"ssing around... Really?"
Tang Ye narrowed his eyes. He felt like this woman was lying. Fighting so ferociously just for fun? While he had rely burned a bit of energy and hadn’t been injured at all, Su Sigui had been left with nurous wounds to herself. If this wasn’t life-threatening, it was at least severely damaging to her.
The murderous intent in her eyes during the battle, was that just for fun? It was more like a fight to the death with the zombie king!
Nevertheless, Su Sigui didn’t bother about whether or not he believed her, instead, she asked him, "What about you?"
"How should I know? That’s your business."
"What’s your relationship with the Zombie King?"
"Hmm?"
Tang Ye was taken aback, unsure if she had realized he was the zombie king or was simply guessing.
"It’s complicated."
This ti, Su Sigui was confused, not understanding what he ant.
"You saw everything just now, didn’t you?"
"I saw, so what?"
"And?"
"Nothing much, just that the zombie doesn’t seem injured."
"You noticed that?"
"Uh... it’s just the way it is."
