A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

The zombies can actually talk?

Everyone was shocked.

To humans, zombies are just mindless, emotionless walking corpses! Otherwise, there would be no need to be so afraid.

They never considered what would happen if zombies developed thoughts like humans, or if humans would truly be eliminated and reduced to monsters like zombies.

Zombies have thoughts, which makes humans even more afraid.

However, the facts are undeniable, leaving them no choice but to believe them.

This zombie is of a higher level than the previous two that escaped!

After a brief moment of surprise, Dongfang Lie used all his lightning power to shake off the zombie. "What are you standing there for? Kill it! This is even stronger than a fourth-tier zombie, it's practically a fifth-tier zombie. Our highest level is only fourth. If you want to survive, you have to work together to wipe it out."

At this moment, in order to survive, everyone had no choice but to fight again. At the same time, their hearts sank to the bottom. The zombies were evolving so fast that even if they killed this one, there would be many more like it in the future, making it even more difficult for them, the humans, to survive.

The fifth-tier zombie had no interest in these humans now; he only wanted the crystal core of that powerful zombie. But these lackeys were blocking his way. The fifth-tier zombie had already developed human-like thoughts, and after being hit a few times, he became angry and decided to deal with these annoying humans first before going to find the zombie.

Dongfang Lie had already had most of his superpowers depleted by two fourth-tier zombies, and his ability to break free from the fifth-tier zombie was his last bit of strength.

While everyone was busy fighting the zombies, he leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and met Pei Sinian's eyes not far away. Pei Sinian's gaze was full of coldness and bloodlust, as if he wanted to kill him.

Unfortunately, Meng Xiaoyou's health was of utmost importance. Pei Sinian used his mental power to send a signal to the female zombie who had walked away, then ignored her, bent down, picked Meng Xiaoyou up, and quickly left the chaotic scene...

--

Pei Sinian glanced around casually, then chose to enter a small hotel. He opened a room and asked Tang Shengnan to tell Xiao Moqiong and the others not to run into the fifth-level zombie and to find a place to hide first.

Tang Shengnan nodded, glancing worriedly at Meng Xiaoyou in his arms before leaving. "What about her? I wonder what methods Dongfang Lie used to do this to her right under my nose... I heard about 'flower traps' when I was a kid. Did Dongfang Lie drug her?"

At this moment, Meng Xiaoyou seemed to be drunk, her whole being in a daze, squirming around in Pei Sinian's arms. Pei Sinian held her shoulders and said a few more words to Tang Shengnan, which was rare for him: "No, if it was medicine, you were close by, it's impossible that only she was given the medicine."

“In this situation…” Pei Sinian lowered his eyes, his glasses concealing the coldness in them, “It’s a psychic ability. If it’s not someone close to him, then Dongfang Lie has two abilities.”

Tang Shengnan stared in shock, her eyes wide: "Psychic?"

On the battlefield, a group of people can't defeat a single zombie. Zombies with consciousness can nimbly dodge bullets and possess supernatural abilities while simultaneously launching attacks on humans.

Its methods were extremely cruel. Its slender fingers, which looked almost identical to those of a human, tore apart the human body. The fingertips were embedded in the human brain, and the brain matter mixed with blood was placed in its mouth. The horrifying chewing sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Protected by the crowd, Su Lanyue stared intently at the fifth-level zombie.

She was filled with doubt and suspicion. Could this be the zombie king?

In her past life, Su Lanyue died in a zombie horde attack without ever seeing the real zombie king. She only knew that the zombie king was in Y City, but she never expected that he would appear in R City...

Yes, such a powerful attack could only come from the Zombie King.

Even with a second chance at life and the advantage of the early game, Su Lanyue still couldn't defeat the zombie king. She clenched her fists, feeling extremely unwilling.

"Lan Yue, you go first, we'll cover the rear."

Su Lanyue bit her lower lip, suddenly thinking of the man who was on par with the fifth-level zombie. If she remembered correctly, he knew Meng Xiaoyou, right?

Without further hesitation, she left the scene first under the protection of the superhumans hired by the Su family. Behind her were screams of agony. She told herself that it was alright, this was only a small part. Three years later, under the rule of the Zombie King, the B City base had fallen, and countless people were killed or injured.

What do the deaths of these people matter now...?

The ability users from Moonlight Base who went to R City suffered heavy losses. Dongfang Lie wouldn't be foolish enough to confront a fifth-tier zombie head-on. He had already left under the cover of others. However, he unexpectedly met his love.

He looked at the female zombie that had reappeared, a slight headache forming in his eyes. "You...remember me?"

If even a fifth-tier zombie can speak, then it's possible that a fourth-tier zombie could have thoughts and memories.

The female zombie had already run away, but after receiving a message from Pei Sinian, she came back to pick up the scraps.

She tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Dongfang Lie with a blank, numb gaze. Belatedly, she touched her face and let out a low growl like a zombie.

Dongfang Lie had used up his lightning-based superpowers, and the two oddballs accompanying him were no match for the female zombie. His eyes flashed, a crimson glint appearing in them, and a rich fragrance enveloped the area.

The female zombie heard him say, "You still love me, don't you?"

A wealth of memories unique to them, like a leech, adhered to her mind, causing the female zombie's expression to change; the ferocity in her eyes suddenly softened considerably.

"I wanted to save you at first, but you know, so many people in the base need me to protect them, and they need you even more. If you retreat, when the zombies enter the base, many people will lose their lives."

"I had no choice... In this critical moment, for the sake of everyone in the base, I had to choose them. I'm sorry."

As Dongfang Lie spoke, he took two steps closer and tentatively touched the female zombie's face.

The two superhumans following behind Dongfang Lie: "???"

As expected of Brother Lie, he can even bring himself to kill zombies.

The female zombie stood there staring at him, making no other move.

Dongfang Lie never expected that his other useless superpower would be effective against zombies.

Yes, Dongfang Lie is the first person to possess dual-elemental superpowers.

His main skill is lightning, and his other ability is charm, which, as the name suggests, is to use charm to bewitch people.

He discovered this superpower while having sex with other women after the female zombie died. Once he uses this power, women will be completely devoted to him, even willing to die for him.

Dongfang Lie usually only uses it in bed. Song Zhenwan is a prime example. No matter how much he tortures her, she will love him even more.

He hadn't used it on Meng Xiaoyou before, only intending to toy with his prey. One capture wasn't enough. But this time he used it, and he figured that woman wouldn't escape his grasp either. He'd just have to finish her off when they met again.

And this superpower is even effective against zombies.

Suppressing his nausea, Dongfang Lie raised a wicked smile, inadvertently revealing a hint of affection. His hand caressed her face, slowly moving upwards, his fingertips pressing against her brow, applying slight pressure to break the bluish-gray skin...
