”Roar――”

A zombie with grotesquely twisted limbs lunged toward Bai Xiqin and the other person.

These little cuties are really getting more and more adorable.

Zombies without thoughts have no understanding of how to care for their already decayed bodies.

They feel no pain and have no regard for their bodies; if an arm breaks, so be it, as long as there’s the scent of flesh, they’ll recklessly pounce towards it.

As time goes by, unless a zombie has self-awareness and the ability to absorb, their general appearance is usually a mixture of black blood, weeds, and dirt.

It’s a sight too miserable to look at.

The smell they emit is becoming increasingly foul.

If zombies can’t evolve, humanity could outlast all the zombies in this world in a few decades.

A steel needle flew out of nowhere, directly piercing the zombie’s temple, easily extracting the crystal core.

The transparent crystal core was even more beautiful than a crystal, shimmering with a demonic glow under the sunlight.

”Why are there so few zombies?”

Bai Xiqin keenly sensed that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

The roars of zombies echoed continuously, but all were far from her; she and Leng Yebai stood there, with only one zombie lunging towards them.

”Over there.”

As Leng Yebai spoke, purple lightning was already spreading in that direction from his fingertips.

It was a small restaurant, its sign for hot dry noodles covered in dust, hanging precariously from the wall.

Behind the sign, a pair of clean black shoes looked completely out of place with all that dust.

”You’ve finally come out; I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time.”

The black shoes didn’t continue to hide and stepped out from behind the sign.

Lightning struck the signboard, instantly turning it pitch black.

It was Captain Zhu.

There was still a device inserted at his temple, the silver-white metal looking a bit glaring.

Captain Zhu had a faint smile on his face, but it didn’t reach his eyes, and his aura was growing increasingly cold.

”Why wait for us?”

Bai Xiqin asked knowingly.

It’s probably still because of the Xiao Song Zombie.

Isn’t Captain Zhu a little too concerned about the Xiao Song Zombie?

The Xiao Song Zombie, following Xiao Ming, has progressed quickly and might even evolve into a Zombie King.

For zombies, this is a tremendous opportunity.

Captain Zhu’s persistence seemed a bit stubborn.

”Xiao Song is nearby, so is that person. I hope you will fulfill your promise and convince that person to release Xiao Song.”

Captain Zhu’s chest heaved, appearing as if he were breathing.

In reality, he was inhaling the scent of flesh emanating from Bai Xiqin and the other person.

To zombies, the scent from their bodies is a deadly temptation.

If it weren’t for the need to find the Xiao Song Zombie, Captain Zhu would never be so calmly speaking to them here.

The taste of flesh is quite memorable!

He needs fresh blood to nourish his already decayed heart.

Captain Zhu pursed his thin lips, feeling his throat tighten instantly and dry upon smelling the scent of flesh from Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.

Reason ultimately triumphed over instinct.

He could devour others’ flesh to indulge himself, but only the Bai Family was an exception.

Otherwise, before finding back Xiao Song, that existence would have already annihilated him.

He thought that as long as he could completely control himself, he could choose to ignore the Bai Family and just find Xiao Song.

But he underestimated the allure of the scent of flesh emanating from the Bai Family.

After smelling it once, he could never forget it.

He wasn’t an ordinary zombie; if he couldn’t get a taste of the flesh, so be it. But he had his own thoughts, and if he didn’t get it today, he would crave it tomorrow and the day after.

The only thing he could do was restrain his instincts until the Xiao Song Zombie was brought back.

As for what happens after, that can be dealt with then!

Captain Zhu’s eyes flashed; Captain Zhang of the Human Survivor Alliance was powerful, and if he could kill Zhang Yiming, wouldn’t that be great?

Captain Zhu’s thoughts quickly became active.

At first, he genuinely wanted to cooperate with the Bai Family.

But the scent emanating from the Bai Family was too enticing, and as a zombie, he simply couldn’t completely ignore them.

So, he needed to think of a complete plan.

”Last time, what you said was no different from having said nothing. You want us to fulfill our promise, but it seems somewhat difficult.”

Bai Xiqin noticed Captain Zhu’s brainwaves becoming more bloodthirsty.

It was clear the other party had no sincerity.

Even if they fulfilled their promise, the other party had no intention of sparing their family.

In fact, Bai Xiqin was somewhat confused.

Initially, their family got along quite well with Captain Zhu, uniting and cooperating at the wind power plant.

At that time, Captain Zhu had an upright image, and everyone considered him the leader who kept everyone going.

Now, everything has changed.

From the moment he started nurturing the Mutated Ant Queen, he was no longer the Captain Zhu of the past.

”You intend to go back on your word?”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Captain Zhu’s eyes, coupled with a bit of panic.

If he couldn’t negotiate with the Bai Family to get Xiao Song back from Zhang Yiming, it seemed there really was no other way.

Xiao Song would continue following Zhang Yiming until, at some point, he would be commanded by Zhang Yiming to fight against some superpower users, becoming cannon fodder.

Except for him, no one knows that the Xiao Song Zombie is Xiao Song; his decayed body will end up like any other zombie, lying like sludge on the ground.

No life left.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

”You can propose another condition, no matter what I will agree to it.”

Just now, Captain Zhu, who was plotting in his mind how he could taste the flesh of the Bai Family, instantly compromised.

He found it difficult to control his instincts, but finding Xiao Song was his only obsession before becoming a zombie.

This was almost more important than his instincts ingrained in his very bones.

”Just one condition isn’t enough. At least two conditions, one for Xiao Niu and one for me.”

A clear, melodious voice came from behind Captain Zhu.

Two footsteps were approaching.

One was light and agile.

The other was heavy, accompanied by loud breathing.

Captain Zhu suddenly turned, catching sight of the Xiao Song Zombie!

His face was adorned with rotting flesh, much less than before, and his eyes seemed more agile.

”Xiao Song!”

Captain Zhu took a step forward, his heart filled with excitement, yet his face betrayed no expression.

The excitement overwhelmed his attempt to mask himself; this was his rawest instinct.

He completely ignored the Xiao Lan Zombie standing beside him and focused only on Xiao Song.

The Xiao Song Zombie twisted its stiff neck, creaking as it looked towards Captain Zhu’s direction.

It showed no expression on its face, and after a glance, it slowly lowered its head, displaying the natural fear a Low Rank Zombie has for a High Rank Zombie.

It no longer had the audacity to directly bite Captain Zhu as it had initially.

Following Zhang Yiming for so long, the Xiao Song Zombie had risen significantly in Rank and retained a few fragments of memory.

However, being a Low Level Zombie, it had no emotions.

Clearly, Captain Zhu wasn’t its concern.
