I've already become the Zombie King, and the zombie apocalypse only just broke out.

But seeing the caller ID, I still managed to suppress my anger.

"Hey! Have you brought the person back yet?!"

"Didn't you say that the most elite assassins were deployed this time?"

A cold, sinister voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We're abandoning this mission! The mission's objectives far exceed your description!"

"Due to the incorrect intelligence you provided, two of our squads were wiped out."

"The final payment and compensation totaled five hundred million US dollars."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Lin Haoyan suddenly went into a frenzy!

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"You haven't even caught the person, and you expect me to give you money? Dream on!"

"Are you bunch of killers all useless! You can't even handle a poor college student, and you still say my intelligence is flawed!"

Why don't you just call this poor college student a superhero?

Despite Lin Haoyan's frantic insults, the voice on the other end of the phone remained cold and calm.

"Transfer the money within three days, or you'll face the consequences!"

The phone rang, and then the busy tone immediately followed.

"Damn it! You're threatening me!"

"piss off!"

The 8848 in my hand made close contact with the ground once again.

Two hours later.

Lin Haoyan's expression had just eased a little when several unconscious girls appeared in the room.

"Hey! Prepare five hundred million US dollars for me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoyan slowly stood up.

His narrow eyes burned with rage.

"Zhang Xuan! I refuse to believe you'll never show your face in public again!"

"As long as you appear in any city in the Dragon Kingdom, I can find you!"

"Just wait! None of the people I, Lin Haoyan, have wanted to kill have survived until now!"

……

At the same time, in Northern Europe.

While it's June in China, here it's already late autumn.

Inside the secluded laboratory, the exquisitely beautiful Leng Ning Shuang scrutinized the blood-red reagent in her hand.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anxiety appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.

"This vampire serum is so complex. It seems that eliminating the vampire's weaknesses will not be as easy as we imagined."

"There are less than two months left! I don't know if we can make it in time."

Just then, my phone started buzzing.

Gently setting down the reagent, Leng Ningshuang answered the phone with a cold expression.

"Have you found that person?"

A weathered, middle-aged voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We couldn't find it, but we did find his most recent medical records. He has late-stage lung cancer that has already spread. He has at most two months to live."

"In addition, it seems that someone has posted a bounty on the dark web for this kid, with a reward of two hundred million US dollars."

Leng Ningshuang's delicate hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, his bright eyes held a mixture of emotions.

A few minutes later, Frost breathed a sigh of relief.

I dialed Zhang Yuqing's number.

Meanwhile, in Donghai City.

Within the Ziyun Villa District.

The girl in sportswear quickly answered the phone.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Where is my brother?"

The voice of Leng Ningshuang, gentle yet tinged with affection, came through the phone.

“Your brother went mountain climbing a while ago, so he had no signal. My friend found him.”

"He's coming to stay with me for two months. I need his help with something, so I might not have time to contact you."

"Don't worry, I will bring him to see you in two months."

Listening to the voice on the phone, the girl's face was full of doubt.

"Sister-in-law, you're not lying to me, are you? My brother is really alright, isn't he?"

"Don't worry, it's really nothing. But I can't contact you for a while. You should have heard of the confidentiality agreement."

"Don't worry, your brother will explain it to you later."

Hearing this, the girl's anxiety subsided somewhat.

After all, it's no secret that Hanhai Group has the military backing it.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll wait for your news!"

A few minutes later, in another villa in the Ziyun Villa District.

As the bathroom door opened, a slender and alluring figure emerged, wrapped in a bathrobe.

Her fair skin was as white as spring snow, a sight that was truly delightful.

Suddenly, the phone next to me rang.

Her slender, jade-like hand picked up the phone.

"Sister Shuang, I was just taking a shower, is something wrong?"

Hearing the voice on the phone, Song Ying'er's expression tightened.

"Is it true? That shouldn't be the case. Late-stage lung cancer? He seemed perfectly healthy to me."

"Alright, I get it. This guy really is a man."

"Okay, I'll tell his sister about this in two months."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of his sister! She's such a poor child."

After hanging up the phone, Song Ying'er's pretty face was a mix of emotions, her eyes shifting between light and shadow.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The clear night sky was dotted with stars, and the bright moonlight was breathtaking.

Meanwhile, inside a cave in the Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Xuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

A sinister, eerie green light flickered in those blood-red, vertical pupils.

Zhang Xuan was slightly startled.

"It's so clear! It's even better than my eyesight before!"

"The nighttime environment doesn't affect my eyesight, which should be a standard ability for zombies."

"Yes! My hearing has also improved greatly; I can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the trees so clearly."

"That's great, let's see how well your body is recovering."

As Zhang Xuan thought this, the black claws tinged with eerie green slowly closed.

The small joints in the palms and soles of the feet also became exceptionally flexible at this moment.

However, that cartilage remained completely out of control.

"Excellent! Excellent! Your recovery has far exceeded my expectations!"

"Although there is still some stiffness in my joints, the movements that ordinary people can do are no longer a problem for me."

"It's just that I can't unleash the terrifying power within my muscles."

"If speed is the only goal, jumping is faster than running! But at least it can conceal my identity!"

"It's not that you can only walk by hopping."

But at that moment, a question arose in Zhang Xuan's mind.

Something's not right, something seems off.

"Quantity, it's all about quantity! I absorbed the blood of twelve people this time, but when you calculate it, it's definitely more than three times that of those four people."

"The same blood provides different energy."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

But the next second, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something.

"I understand! So that's how it is!"

"Although the total amount of blood in each person's body is roughly the same, the quality is different!"

"That guy who flew up to his death must be a master of ancient martial arts; the quality of his blood far surpasses that of ordinary people!"

"And those disciples, their blood is also superior to that of ordinary people!"

"It seems that in the future, we should try to hunt down some skilled martial artists as much as possible."

"Sigh! It's a pity I didn't bring any mirrors, so I don't even know what I look like now!"

After lying down for two days, Zhang Xuan slowly got up, the bright moonlight shining on his body.

After standing up, Zhang Xuan was suddenly startled.

"Something's wrong! This is..."
