Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress Chapter 158 - 159: Since You Want to Die So Much, I’ll Grant

After receiving Wang Lei’s order, everyone stopped discussing, but the atmosphere around beca increasingly heavy, and each person’s face was extrely grim.

Even the survivors noticed sothing was wrong because they also saw that among the five people from the Human Survivor Base, one person was missing...

Not a word was spoken all night.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiu was awakened by certain noises.

Born into a martial arts family, his sensory perception was naturally stronger than ordinary people.

After becoming an Evolver, Yang Xiu’s five senses beca even more acute.

Following the sound, Yang Xiu drowsily approached the window, but the scene outside instantly shocked him.

"Captain! Sothing’s wrong!"

Yang Xiu’s cry instantly woke Wang Lei and others who were still asleep, and they quickly adopted battle poses, vigilantly looking around.

But they only found Yang Xiu standing by the window, his face pale.

The others who woke up also heard faint roars, and they all ca to the window to look down along Yang Xiu’s gaze, freezing on the spot one by one.

Just outside the store where they were camped, a long-dead human corpse was hanging—Lin Yan, who hadn’t returned all night and was missing.

The apocalypse had already passed for three months, and human flesh was already very scarce. This fresh piece of at hanging in the street attracted countless zombies.

Each of these zombies waved their arms, wanting to devour Lin Yan’s corpse; Yang Xiu was awakened by the sound of these zombies.

"Damn it! Isn’t that Lin Yan?! What’s going on?!"

Liu Yang’s pupils contracted sharply, unable to help but curse under his breath.

Although he was dissatisfied with Lin Yan’s personality, the man was still a companion, and now Lin Yan had died right in front of him, chilling Liu Yang to the core.

"Captain, we can’t let Lin Yan hang here like this!"

Zhang Hao, who ca from the sa university as Lin Yan, said angrily at this mont.

Wang Lei nodded at these words.

Lin Yan’s body must be retrieved, not just because he was their companion, but also because the corpse had been hanging there for an unknown length of ti, and the sll of blood had already attracted many zombies.

If more Evolved Zombies were to gather, it would be very dangerous, and their main task this ti was to rescue survivors. Unlike them, those survivors could not just fight their way out of a horde of zombies with ease.

The four of them imdiately moved to seize the corpse; these regular zombies couldn’t stop their slaughter, and they quickly killed all the zombies gathered around, then carried Lin Yan’s body back to the base.

Looking at Lin Yan’s body lying on the ground, everyone’s face beca extrely somber.

Wang Lei squatted down to examine it, discovering Lin Yan’s fatal wound was on his neck, a mark clearly made by a forceful blade swing.

Aside from the fatal wound, Lin Yan’s body bore multiple knife wounds, each strike vicious enough to sever Lin Yan’s tendons.

"An Evolver is in this city too? Why are they attacking us?!"

Yang Xiu’s face was extrely grim. They knew zombies don’t use knives, and these bloodthirsty creatures, if they killed Lin Yan, would just eat him clean.

These zombies wouldn’t return a corpse after killing soone, nor would they hang it outside the base with a rope.

"Damn it, what the hell do these bastards want?! Are they trying to provoke us?!"

Liu Yang punched the ground heavily, his anger boiling over.

"Damn it! Zombies are already everywhere, and these guys are still fighting among themselves? We’re here to rescue people; do they think we’re here to snatch territory?!"

In Liu Yang’s opinion, those who could do this were surely Human Evolvers, and probably not ones to be underestimated.

Thinking about how they risked their lives to co to help, only to be hard by these humans, and even having a corpse hung out as a display, their eyes burned with rage, almost turning into substance.

"Captain! We can’t just let this go, I must avenge Lin Yan and kill those bastards!"

A furious Zhang Hao couldn’t believe his friend had died right in front of his eyes, in such a tragic way!

Even as an Evolver with awakened enhancent talents, he wanted to personally avenge Lin Yan.

"No! We can’t act rashly!"

Seeing their emotions intensify, Wang Lei quickly spoke to stop them.

He pointed at the knife wounds on Lin Yan, his face serious, and said, "We mustn’t underestimate, you all know Lin Yan’s strength, yet even with his combat power, he was easily killed with a few strikes, showing that the perpetrator’s strength is formidable."

"It’s very likely that the Evolver lurking in the shadows possesses the power to kill any mber of our team."

"This person hung the corpse outside our base silently; none of us noticed..."

These words shocked everyone; that Evolver could approach the base without a sound, probably also having the ability to quietly eliminate them.

"He hung Lin Yan’s corpse outside to give us a warning; we’re here to rescue survivors, so try not to complicate things, finish the mission quickly, and leave!"

"With Lin Yan gone, our team’s combat power is affected. I noticed there are so Evolvers among the survivors; let’s temporarily have them join our team."

Yang Xiu and Liu Yang nodded at these words, only Zhang Hao looked at Lin Yan’s corpse with eyes full of resentnt.

...

Zhang Hao, seeing Wang Lei and others unwilling to intervene, went alone to find the survivors saved by Lin Yan yesterday to inquire about Lin Yan’s whereabouts.

"After Lin Yan saved these survivors, he went to the outskirts of the city; could it be he t with misfortune there?"

Finding his friend’s death so mysterious, even being hung out as a corpse for display, filled Zhang Hao with boundless rage.

Unable to swallow this anger, he disregarded Wang Lei’s orders and went alone to the city outskirts.

"Hm? So many repeated tire tracks? And all of them left recently?"

"It seems Lin Yan must have noticed sothing suspicious here, which is why he was murdered. Hmph! Zombies driving cars? I think it’s just these Evolvers ssing around!"

Zhang Hao sneered, then followed the direction of the tire tracks.

...

At Qingshui Farm, Lu Chuan, who was cooking porridge for Little Qiqi and Zhao Lin, suddenly felt a shift.

Through the perspective of the Corpse Puppet, he saw another Human Evolver approaching Qingshui Farm from the small road on the city outskirts.

Lu Chuan’s gentle gaze suddenly emitted a chilling killing intent.

"I’ve already warned you, yet you still don’t know your limits."

"Since you’re determined to die, I’ll grant your wish!"
