As he spoke, Su Sigui dumped the uneaten ran on the side of Tang Ye onto the ground.
"Like this bowl of noodles, which just fell on the floor, who would eat it?"
"If this were in the past, the beggars would eat it, those forced by life would eat it, now it’s the end of the world, more people eat it than you can imagine."
"But there are also people who won’t eat it!"
"So what? There are always more people who will eat it than those who won’t! Numbers determine everything, just like with zombies."
"Hehe, you’re naive, those who won’t eat can determine the fate of countless people who do, they often just need a single word."
"Then beco one of those who don’t eat, they who eat will show favor, and would die for , human nature is so simple and yet so complex."
"Good luck with that, my dear nuclear peacemaker!"
Su Sigui laughed and turned to leave as if she had never been there in the first place. The "and" in her last sentence was clearly pronounced, and no matter how Tang Ye heard it, it just sounded wrong. He pondered over it for a while before he finally got it.
"Hey, what’s nuclear peace? Isn’t it world peace?"
"Goodbye."
Su Sigui walked away, Tang Ye watched her retreating figure, wondering why she had said nuclear?
As she left the building, she gave Tang Ye one last glance and muttered to herself, "I hope you’re not stupid, and that you understand the trade of human sentints..."
When she got to the intersection, Xu Tianyu was already waiting alongside an armored vehicle for her.
"Mayor..."
"Get in the car first."
"Alright."
Click!
The door of the armored vehicle was closed, and it slowly moved forward. Su Sigui told the driver in the front: "Evacuate Lin City within five days!"
"Yes! But shouldn’t we make haste, Mayor?"
"The Zombie King has been spotted, and in a few days, there should be a response from the South China United District. Those old fogies won’t stand by as an unknown entity enters this piece of land. I just hope that..."
Su Sigui sighed as she trailed off, lost in thought.
As he watched the departing armored vehicle, the smiling expression on Tang Ye’s face suddenly turned cold. Only when the armored vehicle completely disappeared at the end of the street did Tang Ye say to Ah Fu and Xu Haishui who had just appeared, "Let’s go."
The three figures dwindled into the distance, as the swarm of zombies that Tang Ye had previously led away returned one by one, covering up the traces of their battle. There were zombies as far as the eye could see, and their roaring filled this desolate world.
At Qinshan Base, which was situated in a prison surrounding the governnt building, a pleading voice could be heard.
The damp basent was filled with a musty sll, the long-neglected corridor was dotted with black puddles, and a rotting arm was hung on a nearby iron railing. Nobody knew to whom it belonged. Inside the innermost prison cell, a man was kneeling on the ground, his hands clutching the iron bars as he pleaded in low, desperate voice.
"Please, let out. I want to get out, just for a mont...please...I’m begging you."
The man had a dirty face, and nurous scabby scars twisted grotesquely on it. In so places, yellow pus was even beginning to form. However, this disgusting sight did nothing to hide the pallor of his face.
If there was anyone here who knew him, they would instantly recognize him as Chen Chaoyang. But why was he here?
Two months ago, Chen Huaijiang mobilized all forces from Qinshan Base, just to get the evolution crystal core in the Pseudo-dragon’s brain. But later he was ambushed by Li Songhua and Jin Liudong from Pingnan Base. Neither Chen Huaijiang’s nor Jin Liudong’s corpses could be found after they died.
Of the two remaining level 3 new humans, one went to Zhiyang Lake and disappeared, while the other surrendered to Jin Liudong as soon as he sensed that sothing was wrong. Chen Chaoyang, once known as ’Number One Young Master’ in the Qinshan Base, has now hit rock bottom and everyone can freely trample on him.
Today he is a level 2 new human, he also tried to pry open these iron bars, but how could he easily open this cell that was specially built for him?
His plea kept echoing, and his unrest was getting worse by the mont... no, actually it should be said that he had been living in constant anxiety ever since getting into this place ten days ago.
His father, Chen Huaijiang, died a violent death and the whereabouts of his mother were unknown. He was scared, terrified of unexpected accidents happening to his family again.
"Let out, let out. I promise not to resist, you can treat like a dog, I really won’t resist, please, I just want to get out, even if I have to be a dog."
The raspy voice echoed along the corridor. Chen Chaoyang didn’t know how many tis he had repeated these words, but he kept saying them, clinging onto a glimr of hope, just to know whether anything had happened to his family. He was so scared that if he lost his family, he would lose his attachnts to this world. What would be the point of living then?
He repeated the sa words a few more tis.
"I’ll be a dog, I just want to get out, please, I beg you, let get out, I’ll definitely be the most loyal dog..."
Clap, clap, clap...
He didn’t know how long had passed. As he once again, crushed his dignity beneath his feet and uttered those words weakly, finally, footsteps could be heard in the hollow basent.
"What, you want to be a dog?"
A man’s voice rang out. Chen Chaoyang’s first reaction to hearing it was that it was familiar. Wasn’t this Yu Jiancheng? He ca!
The next mont, Chen Chaoyang was filled with excitent. He completely forgot that this person was also one of those who had helped to kill his father, and quickly got on his knees. "Yes, yes, yes, I am willing to be a dog, just let out."
Yu Jiancheng had his hands in his pockets, a smirk on his face as he looked at Chen Chaoyang. His eyes were filled with mockery.
"You want to get out. What are you going to do outside?"
"I need to see my mom! I need to find her!"
"Alright, but what if you take revenge on us after getting out?" The mockery in Yu Jiancheng’s eyes was even more pronounced.
Without any hesitation, Chen Chaoyang imdiately replied. After being tornted for more than ten days, his dignity had long since disappeared. When faced with despair, what did dignity an?
"I won’t, I won’t. Once I get out, I’ll be a dog, I won’t take revenge! I’ll definitely be a dog, your dog, just let out, I’ll do anything you want."
Chen Chaoyang look at Yu Jiancheng, his eyes dull, and his voice monotone as if he were reading from a nonexistent book.
"Ha ha ha! I never thought, never thought that our Mr. Chen could beco a dog!"
Yu Jiancheng laughed as if he had just heard a funny joke. His voice was filled with contempt.
"I can be a dog, I can be... Please let out, I beg you..."
"I want to let you out, but..."
Yu Jiancheng suddenly lowered his voice. His face showed a hint of difficulty as he looked at Chen Chaoyang. It had to be said that this expression of his instantly raised Chen Chaoyang’s spirits.
"But what? Just tell ! Whatever it is, I’ll do it."
"It’s not sothing big, you just have to tell us where the evolution crystal core of that dragon is."
