Chapter 672: He Doesn’t Eat Children
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Earlier today, that man heard from Yuan Tianxing that level six and seven zombies had surrounded the base. He didn’t believe it.
He thought that Yuan Tianxing was lying.
How could there be so many zombie dominators? And, over ten zombie kings and queens? That must be a joke.
That man was from Sea City Base. He had spent quite a long while in All Beings Base, so he knew a lot about the new base. Almost everyone knew that the people who built the new base were the survivors of Hades Base. As Hades Base’s enemies, Earth Dragon Base, Hidden Cloud City Base, and Sky Fire Base would certainly keep hunting those survivors.
So, some Sea City Base people guessed that the reason why they were kept in the hotel was an attack from the three bases.
However, Yuan Tianxing told them that the base was surrounded by zombie dominators! They believed that he was lying. They knew that zombie kings and queens were already rare enough, so they refused to believe that over ten zombie dominators were gathering around the base.
At first, they were curious. They tried to sneak out to find out what exactly was going on. They had no idea that a few batches of people had already sneaked out and never returned.
Later on, they found that the zombie wall which was far away from the base had shrunk. Those zombies were still motionless though.
But, before they could find out the truth, they were knocked out by someone.
Next, that man woke up to see some figures standing in the darkness. He was aware that they weren’t human beings, because if they were human, they would need some light.
So, he thought of what Yuan Tianxing said the moment he woke up. He didn’t believe him earlier on, but now, he realized that the latter wasn’t lying.
He was so frightened that he even begged for mercy. Having finished talking, he froze. Could those zombies understand human language?
Mo Yan turned around and looked at that man with surprise. He found that the man was with constantly changing expressions. At first, he looked panicked, and then seemed to be confused, thinking about something.
Mo Yan’s interest was aroused.
He turned and walked to the man, then squatted and looked at him with a pair of dark eyes.
As the zombie walked up to him, the man trembled with fear. He stiffly moved backward and then sprung up from the ground, attempting to crawl away.
However, a claw clasped the back of his collar and threw him back.
Once again, he was lying before the zombie who was squatting before him. His eyes adapted to the darkness, and it finally allowed him to see Mo Yan’s face. That was really a zombie! He had a huge pair of dark circles under his eyes!
“Don’t eat me… Don’t eat me… I don’t taste good… That… that base, there’re women, and… and children… and, they are actually very weak… You can go and eat some women and children!” The man couldn’t stop shaking while murmuring those words. He didn’t even know what he was talking about.
Puff! Before the man finished, Mo Yan expressionlessly sank his claw into his chest.
‘He was so noisy!’
The man immediately fell into silence. He popped his eyes and looked at his chest, without being able to say one more word.
Puff! Mo Yan pulled out his hand, holding a heart. A strong blood scent could instantly be sensed. It was not just the surrounding zombies who sensed it; the man sensed it too before his death.
Mo Yan held the heart and stood up. Then, he put the heart into his mouth, still with no expression.
He never ate other parts of human beings except for their hearts. He didn’t even like eating the lightly sweet human brains.
After finis.h.i.+ng the heart, he raised a hand and waved it slightly. Then, he took over a handkerchief from the female zombie, wiped his hand, and handed it back.
As he waved his hand, those zombie dominators behind him quickly ate the dead man and the other three people who were still alive.
Mo Yan walked to the roof edge and looked at All Beings Base.
Women and children? They smelt nice indeed. However, he never wanted to eat children and women.
Eating the hearts of men was the furthest that he could go.
That mysterious zombie hadn’t shown up. Where on earth had it been hiding? If the two zombie girls weren’t getting along peacefully with the people in that base, he would think that the mysterious zombie might have been hiding somewhere and controlling the people in that base.
He had no idea that the scent that he sensed was left by Lin Qiao in the base, and that she was now far away from the base, chasing behind Lu Zhuofeng.
“Deputy Chief, another four have run out,” Duan Juan walked into the conference room with a grim look and said to Yuan Tianxing who was sitting behind the conference table.
Yuan Tianxing leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes closed; his face wore tiredness. Hearing Duan Juan’s words, he opened his eyes.
“I’ve told them about the situation. If they insist on leaving and giving up on their lives, I can’t help them,” he said blandly. His cold voice also contained a trace of helplessness.
Duan Juan didn’t say anything.
Some other people were sitting or standing in the conference room. None of them said anything, and the atmosphere was depressing.
“If Qiaoqiao doesn’t come back in two days, I think we should go with him, as long as he promises us not to hurt the people here!” Qiu Lili stood by the window with her back to the others. She looked at the leaves which were rustled by the wind while saying to the others.
“Don’t be impulsive! I don’t think we should believe him. We don’t know about him. However, based on the fact that he eats people, I think he might not keep his word,” said Lin Feng.
“If Chief really can’t make it back, Lili and Yun Meng, you should run with Mrs. Lin, Xiaolu and the others. We’ll try to stop him. Even if we can’t protect everyone, we need, at least, to keep the children and Mrs. Lin safe, as well as Wenwen and Qingying,” Yuan Tianxing sighed and said.
“I agree. We can’t let Lili and Yun Meng go. If we have no chance of winning, we will die on the battlefield. We can never let two girls protect us,” Lin Feng added with a cold face.
“He only wants us. As long as we go with him, he’ll never hurt anyone else in the base. Otherwise, I’ll turn against him!” Qiu Lili disagreed.
“Lili, he may not hurt us in front of you, but, can you promise that he won’t do anything behind your back? Besides, Mrs. Lin and the two kids need your protection. Don’t forget that they are Chief’s family,” Yuan Tianxing patiently persuaded Qiu Lili not to take the risk.
Yun Meng quietly stood in a corner. She didn’t say anything, neither did she give any opinions.
“But…” Speaking of Lin Qiao’s family, Qiu Lili suddenly woke up. But still, she hesitated for a moment and looked at the others uncertainly.
That was right. The safety of Lin Qiao’s family was the most important thing at the moment! She could not let anything happen to them! Yuan Tianxing was right. The zombie emperor might lie to her, or hurt them behind her back!
None of them knew that kind of zombie that zombie emperor was!
