"After they threw you down, you didn’t die. You killed them all, didn’t you? And you skinned the person you ntioned,"
Tang Ye continued, recalling what Gong Xiao had told him. Gong Xiao turned her back to him and dropped her hand. She pulled up the human skin on her leg to cover her body, but the skin was torn and ruined.
She nodded her head and said, "Yes, I didn’t die. I fell into a pile of rotting corpses, these bodies saved my life. I was fully conscious but I didn’t imdiately get up. The people above watched , wondering if I was really dead. I just stared at them! Stared at them until they were terrified! They started to fear and retreated, haha!"
Gong Xiao’s tone beca increasingly excited, her young girl’s bell-like voice and hoarse sound switched back and forth. Even though she had her back to Tang Ye, he could imagine her twisted and insane countenance!
"I lay in that pile of corpses for many days, I was dazed for a long ti. In that period, I saw Gong Ye’s corpse pass by , he didn’t seem to see , he just walked away. I learnt a lot from these people, I realized, zombies and humans are not the sa species! I assud that zombies could coexist with humans before, but...hehe."
"I counted zombies among my kind, and humans among my own. People said I’m the most cowardly zombie in the world, but how would they know, how much I wanted to fit in with them! I couldn’t eat human food and they didn’t want to waste food on . The day I t Gong Ye, he gave a piece of bread. Although it tasted bad and was hard to swallow, I thought that was the happiest day of my life, because I thought I had beco a part of them."
"And speaking of birth, I’ve heard humans say, when they are born they are a small baby, raised by their parents until they grow to my size. But I don’t understand, when I was born, there were no such parents as they describe, nothing, just blank mory, hazy consciousness, but I had human language... just because, I am a zombie."
"It was only after I got up from that pile of corpses, that I found I was different, the sll from the surrounding bodies no longer repulsed . I started to like these slls, because I understood, these rotten odors belong to zombies, and I, I’m a zombie! The other zombies are my true kind!"
"People say zombies are bloodthirsty, I didn’t believe that at first, until that mont, I did. I was so angry, I pictured over and over again, myself tearing everyone above to pieces! The feeling was exhilarating! More than that, I found that I had beco stronger than before. In the words of those people, I had evolved into a Level 1 zombie!"
"My zombie instincts were unleashed the mont I stood up. I can command my true kind! On that night, when humans were shivering in the corners like mice, I summoned many of my kind into their dwelling, hehe~"
Gong Xiao laughed weirdly, her voice grew more excited, she continued, "That night, many of my kind entered the building, I heard many human screams, I also ate many people, I started to enjoy the terrified faces of these people! Their expressions excited ! Especially the head, hehe, his eyeballs were gouged out, I laughed at his inability to appreciate my beauty. I tortured him over and over until his body was torn to pieces, turned into a stupid zombie, there was also the most beautiful woman in the human’s eyes..."
She caressed the limb knife on her back: "My jealousy gave this sharp knife, it’s like a blade, I am like a surgeon, carefully peeling off this woman’s skin, to beco her..."
Crack!
Tang Ye suddenly stepped on a tile on the ground, interrupting her. He found a clean spot to sit down, his eyes hinting at an inexplicable light. He continued her story: "You beca her, living with other survivors. You found that the survivors couldn’t resist your beauty. You lted into countless survivor groups, you got addicted, you can never get rid of the beautiful appearance, but the human skin you wore would always rot. You couldn’t accept your ugly appearance, so Chen Zhou’an and his brothers mistakenly thought you liked to eat the most beautiful won, in reality, you just liked to wear their skin."
"Hmm." Gong Xiao nodded, indicating that Tang Ye was right.
He gave a strange smile, with his evolution up to level 6 his brain processed quickly. From the skinned corpses on the scene and the Chen brothers’ account of eting Bai Xinran a week before running into Gong Xiao, he could deduce a lot from the surprise on her face.
"Human skin will eventually rot, and you continue to change skins. However, you have certain standards for the skins you choose. You’re only interested in beautiful won. But in an apocalypse like this, to maintain beauty requires material support. Won who are cold and hungry do not care about their appearance. The newest skin here is at least half a year old, and your human skin is almost rotted too."
"Enough with the chitchat. I know you’re powerful. The Chen brothers called you Zombie King, hehe, what a nice title, Zombie King. Why don’t you kill ? After all, I won’t be living much longer."
Tang Ye shook his head, got up, and walked behind Gong Xiao. Bending over, he spoke in a devilish whisper.
"I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you. I want you to stay by my side, as a loyal subordinate."
Gong Xiao suddenly turned around, this ti she didn’t cover her face, her pale, terrifying eyes t Tang Ye’s, which had sohow turned black and red, as dark as the abyss, as red as fresh blood! It was chilling.
"Your eyes... why are they different?" she asked, puzzled.
Tang Ye gave a smile, revealing his triangle-shaped, cold, sharp teeth.
"Oh, now you dare to let see your face?"
Hearing this, Gong Xiao imdiately turned her head back. Her face was indeed terrifying, with no lips, her brown-red gum line exposed. She had an oval face, iron-grey skin, blood vessels protruding out like a web. Her large, narrow eyes were eerie. She must have been a beauty when she was a human.
By human standards, she was not ugly among the zombies. But her appearance sent chills down people’s spines, the sa feeling Tang Ye invoked.
The reason Gong Xiao considered herself ugly was that her aesthetic sensibility coincided with humans, she judged from a human perspective. But that’s not entirely true, it was just her own perception that she was ugly.
