IJWTRQ Chapter 070

“Why are so many of you gathered there?” Director Li held up the police cap and said, “Don’t know it’s the end of the world, there are zombies outside, you can’t just run outside at night? Hurry up and go home and stay there… No, you don’t seem to be locals, right?”

He looks so normal, just like a police officer who is still on patrol in the post-apocalyptic world, and the police uniform makes people feel at ease.

Someone even left the team and approached him, Tan Yan immediately said: “Don’t move, come back.”

Everyone stopped and looked at Tan Yan with confused faces, as if they didn’t know why he made them stop. This is clearly a police officer, didn’t they already home?

Liang Xian felt that something was wrong, he grabbed Yang Da Ma who wanted to get closer to Director Li, and said: “Auntie Yang, what are you doing?”

“Good boy, that is a police officer, he will definitely help us.” There was a gleam of trust in Yang Da Ma’s eyes, if Liang Xian hadn’t grabbed her hard, she would have rushed in front of Director Li.

“Qin Li!”

Liang Xian shouted, Qin Li stepped forward very cooperatively, and built a wall in front of everyone, separating everyone from Director Li.

“What’s going on?” Ah San grabbed a person beside him who insisted on rushing toward Director Li, “These people are going crazy.”

Liang Xian said with a serious face: “Fourth-level zombies can control ordinary zombies, what about the zombie king?”

It seems to be able to control humans.

“Gather everyone around,” Tan Yan’s face is unprecedentedly dignified, “I’ll deal with him.”

Seeing them like this, Director Li said helplessly: “You supernatural beings are really troublesome. As evolutionaries, why are humans superior to zombies? It’s just that the direction of evolution is different. Look at me, it’s not too bad now. Not only do I remember what happened before when I was alive, but I also have the strength to protect myself and the residents of Ping County. It doesn’t matter even if you are a foreigner. Ping County has a small population now, but there are quite a lot of houses, and you can live there.”

Seeing Tan Yan’s complexion, Liang Xian said: “Are you sure these ordinary people can still be human if they stay?”

“Of course it’s human,” Director Li said, “Haven’t you noticed that every household in the county has lights on? We are living well in this post-apocalyptic world. Recently, factories are gradually resuming production, and greenhouses have also started farming, Ping County has passed the most dangerous moment and will become better and better.”

“Oh? Sounds good, does it cost nothing?” Liang Xian asked.

“No, I’m the only zombie in this county, I still have reason, and I won’t bite people casually. With me here, no zombies dare to attack here, this is a paradise!” Director Li continued to persuade.

“People eat food, what do you eat?” Liang Xian asked again.

Director Li’s expression changed slightly, “Young people, being too smart is not attractive. I don’t eat much. If I can catch supernatural beings, I can eat one person a month. For ordinary people, I eat one person a week. Of course, it would be even better if there were crystal nuclei of high-level zombies. After all, they are all raised by me, and everyone has feelings. I feel distressed when they die.

I have done some calculations. Ping County now has a population of more than ten thousand, according to the current level of construction, there will be more survivors who will come to join us in the future. I only have one person a week, and I can still wrong myself and pick some old and dying ones. As long as the young men and women here have children quickly, the speed of death will definitely not be as fast as the birth, it’s very good like this.”

“Becoming a pig you raised?” There was already a hint of anger in Liang Xian’s voice.

“It’s better than being bitten to death by zombies outside.” Director Li said, “But I only need ordinary people, supernatural beings are a bit troublesome and hard to control, so it’s better to kill them. You have seven supernatural beings, hey, enough for me to use for seven months, during this period of time Ping County can give birth to many children again, not bad.”

“Ptui!” Ah San who was controlling the crowd inside the wall said, “The monsters beyond this ‘void’ is getting more disgusting than the other, ouch! Don’t bite me, it’s not a zombie why are you biting people! Liang Xian, Tan Yan, we can’t hold on anymore, these people went crazy after being controlled, and started biting each other, hurry up and get rid of that fifth-level zombie!”

“It’s okay, don’t worry,” Director Li is still talking slowly, “I just ordered them to attack the supernatural beings and consume your energy, so that I can deal with you. They are all residents of Ping County, I will not turn them into zombies, zombies can not have children, and only rely on infection to reproduce sooner or later there will be no one to infect. Zombies don’t understand sustainable development, I understand, always have to be born for life.”

The supernatural team was so angry when they heard this. The zombie king looks like a human being, possessing human intelligence and thinking, and is more dangerous than ordinary zombies and parasitic monsters.

Indeed, as he said, zombies and supernatural beings are two ways of human evolution, but they do not recognize the wrong evolution of the zombie king.

Tan Yan stopped Liang Xian behind him, stood up, and said: “How many memories do you still remember from your life?”

“Remember everything.” Director Li looked around and said, “I still have a lot of affection for this place, otherwise I wouldn’t choose Ping County as a base.”

“You used to serve the people wholeheartedly,” Tan Yan walked slowly in front of Director Li, and said softly, “I used to be the only one patrolling at night, and it was only after you took over that we got a patrol team. Although the patrol team is a bit troublesome, with them, there are indeed fewer crimes in Ping County. When the order was first issued, everyone didn’t like to do it, so you led the team every day for two years before this policy was implemented.

Later, some wanted criminals fled to Ping County, you were shot through the leg in order to catch him, and since then you walked with a limp, and you can’t be promoted again, so you applied to stay in Ping County Public Security Bureau Office until you retire.

You are five years younger than me, and you will be able to retire in seven years. At that time, you also said that after retirement, you will travel around the world with me.”

Tan Yan looked at Director Li quietly, and there was unspeakable heartache in his plain talk.

“Huh?” The zombie king’s face is puzzled, “I have an impression of what you said, but there is no one like you in Ping County, right? What’s your name?”

“Tan Yan.”

“Let me think,” The zombie king knocked his head, “Zombies have a better memory than humans, I remember such a person, but he died forty years ago. Eighteen years old, veterans placement, he died within two days of reporting, and was awarded first-class merit. He is a martyr. I also saw it when I was going through the files, there was not even a photo.”

“Is that so?” Tan Yan had already walked in front of the zombie king, his tone was a bit sad, “Actually you are dead too.”

“At first it was, but didn’t I remember it later?”

“I don’t think the resurrection of the dead is a good thing,” Tan Yan said, “We have known each other for a long time, I’ll send you off.”

After saying this, he reached out and swung his fist, hitting Director Li’s face with force.

“You supernatural beings, do you really think you are omnipotent? With such an ordinary fist, all I need is one hand… ouch!!”

The fist hit him in the face, and the zombie king flew far away with a scream.

“The crowd is no longer rioting.” Ah San knocked on the wall, “This bit me, the whole body is full of tooth marks. Fortunately, there are no zombies among these people.”

“Tell Qin Li to hold on, on this side the gods are going to fight.” Liang Xian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the zombie king got up. He roared at Tan Yan, his nails grew longer, his teeth were exposed, his body grew bigger and bigger, and the police uniform was broken.

“You also go back to the protective wall,” Tan Yan said solemnly, “The breath he exhales has corpse poison, can’t be inhaled into the body, if there are wounds on the body even without inhaling the breath, the corpse poison touches the wound has an effect like the zombie bite.”

Liang Xian knew that it was useless for him to be around at this time, and would only hinder him, so he asked with concern: “Do you have a chance to win?”

“I’m fine.”

It’s not that Tan Yan has no confidence in defeating the zombie king, it’s just that facing this familiar face, he has very complicated feelings in his heart.

Liang Xian immediately held his breath and retreated to the protective wall, Qin Li knew it was him who wanted to enter and immediately opened an opening, after Liang Xian entered, the protective wall closed again, Qiu Qizheng is holding Qin Li’s hand, giving him additional strength, Qin Li opened an unprecedented huge protective wall, hiding everyone in it.

Because the zombie king wanted to concentrate on fighting Tan Yan, he relaxed his control over people. After waking up, people were afraid for a while, and when they saw the wounds bitten by others or themselves, they asked Liang Xian worriedly if they have all become zombies.

“It’s okay,” Liang Xian comforted, “You are only mind-controlled, the wound has not been exposed to corpse poison, as long as we hide in the protective wall, nothing will happen.”

Hearing his words, the voice of a woman weeping softly came from the crowd. Don’t know if it was from fear or pain.

There is no sound outside, don’t know how Tan Yan and the zombie king are fighting.

Liang Xian is not worried about Tan Yan’s strength, but the zombie king can spit out corpse poison. He is afraid that Tan Yan will be accidentally infected with corpse poison.

It should be fine… everyone prayed in low voices in the protective wall.

The protective wall was suddenly hit by something, and there was the sound of a sharp object passing through the protective wall, someone screamed and immediately covered their mouth and forcibly endured.

There was a ping-pong sound for a while, and about an hour later, when the air in the protective wall was almost insufficient, Tan Yan’s voice was heard outside: “Can come out, the corpse poison is almost dissipated.”

Qin Li released the protective wall, and saw Tan Yan standing quietly on the ground, with the corpse of a zombie under his feet. At this time, Director Li has changed from a monster-like appearance to a human appearance. Tan Yan picked up a piece of cloth that fell on the ground when they panicked (someone used it to block the wind when they were in the textile factory), and covered him.

“Are you okay?” People from the supernatural team gathered around Tan Yan and asked.

“It’s okay,” Tan Yan didn’t have any wounds on his body, “He’s not very strong, I shot through his head with a gun in just over ten minutes. Didn’t dare to let you out, because I was afraid that the corpse poison would be too strong. The corpse poison has not dissipated, and then I blew it up with a grenade. With the help of the burning and explosion wind pressure, the corpse poison was blown away. It should be fine now, let’s continue on our way.”

Seeing that Liang Xian was still staring at him, he pulled out a smile with difficulty and said: “I’m really fine, it’s just… It’s not a pleasant thing to see the faces of acquaintances.”

Liang Xian plucked up his courage and hugged his arm and said: “When we return to the real world, I will accompany you to visit your old director in Ping County, he is the real living person.”

Tan Yan smiled and patted Liang Xian’s head.

Since this chapter is quite short, the next chapter will be posted shortly after this.
