At this time, the capital city of the Kimchi Kingdom.

"Damn it! What does Huang Jianshu mean? If you don't want to come, then don't come. Why try to fool me with this 'the Dragon Kingdom's special envoy doesn't agree' nonsense? How despicable!" A middle-aged man was sitting in a luxurious room, surrounded by many people looking at him.

He is the current leader of South Korea, Zuo Jiangxi.

But the real person in charge of South Korea has absolutely nothing to do with him, the nominal leader; at most, he's just a mouthpiece, responsible for relaying messages.

The future of South Korea is determined by someone else.

“The zombies in China are evolving much faster than those in South Korea, so why are they able to build so many safe zones and make them so large? Shouldn’t we think about this?” a man in the room said.

He had a full head of black hair, but he was actually well over fifty years old.

"Is it a policy problem, or are you an incompetent leader?" The man looked at Zuo Jiangxi with a smile, his tone seemingly joking but actually full of threat.

"This...you're saying this..." Zuo Jiangxi was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't even speak clearly.

For a national leader to end up like this is truly unbelievable.

But there's nothing we can do; even the leaders of the pre-apocalyptic Korea were no different from those of today.

As for the reason, it all boils down to these people having a firm grip on the lifeline of the country, and even being able to cultivate their own armed groups. If the leader doesn't listen, it's just a matter of replacing him with a puppet, which isn't much trouble.

These are things that even the general public knows about but doesn't tacitly agree to; no one dares to speak out about them.

“What’s the point of talking to him? Let’s think about how to deal with that fourth-tier zombie. It’s not far from the capital city now, and it has more third-tier zombies under its command than all of us third-tier psionicists combined. Besides, we haven’t even been able to deal with those weirdos yet.” Another man spoke up.

Looking around, there wasn't a single woman present.

Women in South Korea seem to have a low social status; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are considered inferior.

"What can we do? We don't even have nuclear weapons. Are we supposed to borrow them from North Korea? They'd love to give us two." An elderly man chimed in.

"This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to sit here doing nothing?" Another person joined the discussion, looking rather grumpy.

"This is the problem of insufficient psychic reserves. No matter how much we discuss it, we won't get any results. Instead of worrying here, why don't we send all the psychics under your command out to hunt zombies and obtain psychic cores?" An old man pointed out the root cause.

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent; not a single person uttered a sound.

As for South Korean leader Zuo Gangxi, he had long been hiding in a corner, afraid of being singled out.

"Old man, if that's what you're saying, then why don't you release him?" The hot-tempered man spoke first, his anger directed at the old man who had just spoken.

Others echoed this sentiment.

"Do you think I don't know what you people are thinking? I'm afraid the moment I release my psionic subordinates, you'll swallow up my group, right?" The old man sneered, not backing down at all, and directly retorted.

You can get a general idea from their discussion.

Before the apocalypse, these people were all powerful figures in the entire South Korean country, and even after the apocalypse, they quickly amassed a considerable force.

Just like the previous leaders of the Dragon Kingdom who operated in the shadows, they kept psionicists under their command.

The only difference is that the people of South Korea think about raising dogs to guard their homes, while the leaders of China send them out hunting and keep some to give back to the country.

The leaders of the Dragon Kingdom are not fools. Once they sit in this position, it's impossible for anyone to let them do whatever they want.

Of course, this is related to the policies of the Dragon Kingdom before its end. The leader had an unshakeable position, and the prerequisite for becoming a leader was to think about the country.

South Korea, whose fate was sealed long ago, had its lifeline seized by a group of selfish and extremely profit-driven businessmen.

In such a large country, there wasn't a single person available.

Meanwhile, Zuo Jiangxi, as the national leader, was still thinking about how to protect himself and how to continue sitting in this position and enjoying it for a while longer.

Even if Li Xuanzu helps them solve the zombie problem, it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. This country is rotten to the core.
