Chu Jinjin thought she had misheard: "You're going to let me go?"
"I can't just stand by and watch you die." Mu Wei chuckled softly, looking at Chu Jinjin's bulging belly as if he had been struck by something. "When my mother was pregnant with me, it was the same thing; my father gave her away to someone else."
Chu Jinjin was somewhat surprised: "Just because of this?"
Mu Wei nodded slowly: "Not entirely."
He sat down and pulled a blade of grass, just like Chu Jinjin had done: "This idea has actually been around for a few days. I've been thinking about what I'm living for. To conquer the world? Would I be happy after I do? The person who harmed my mother back then has already been killed by me."
A breeze swept across the stream, creating ripples that seemed to drift out like memories unintentionally.
Since ancient times, power has been accompanied by sacrifice. Muwei's mother was one of the concubines of the Northern Desert King, but she was not favored. She became pregnant at an inopportune time, as the old Northern Desert King was getting old and his more than ten sons were fighting over her.
As people age, they cherish family ties, and the Northern Desert King gradually became attracted to his quiet and gentle mother, Muwei.
What was originally a man's sudden awakening of love was mistakenly interpreted as having other intentions.
In short, various forces united, and Mu's mother was sent to marry a prince.
What happened was predictable: the prince considered it a huge humiliation and tortured him in various ways.
Muwei's mother soon passed away, and Muwei, as the biological son of the Northern Desert King, was spared but was used as a pawn.
“I never knew what laughter was when I was little. What I knew was to survive, become strong, and kill these people.” Mu Wei’s mouth broke, and he pulled out another blade of grass. “Later, my father died, and the new Northern Desert King didn’t want me to live. Fortunately, I met a transmigrator when I was about to die.”
Unlike Chu Jinjin, who had already passed away from illness when she transmigrated, Chu Jinjin's situation can be considered a rebirth.
Mu Wei is still alive.
The outsider is like someone who has possessed another's body.
Mu said, word by word, "Jinjin, the transmigrator comes from the same world as you. I don't know exactly what it is, but he said that the only thing that can stop him is you."
"He is the Zombie King." Chu Jinjin could figure out the rest herself.
One body, two souls. Outsiders cannot kill Muwei, and sometimes they even have to compromise. Muwei falls in love with him, and outsiders want to kill him, which has led to the current situation.
Chu Jinjin said seriously, "I still don't quite understand why you let me go."
Mu Wei's familiar smile returned: "You're pregnant, how can you fight? My body might be used by him at any time, and then no one can save you—I find it laughable to say this myself, Jinjin, you're a bit like my mother."
Chu Jinjin: "......"
It's a bit ridiculous, but I understand now.
Mu Wei stood up: "Let's go quickly, before I regret it, while he's not here. He's going to take over the world. The Northern Desert army is gone, they've all turned into zombies."
Sometimes, even the person themselves feels the change in their character.
With the help of the time traveler, Mu Wei also became a half-zombie. He killed many people, which was very enjoyable, and he also wanted to stand in that highest position.
But as the news gradually came in, he found that his initial excitement had faded.
He can never go back to his hometown, his mother's hometown.
"A madman!" Chu Jinjin understood completely. "So during this time, he was stalling for time. Whether I go to the Northern Desert or not, he's going to attack the Central Plains, isn't that right?"
Mu nodded slightly.
It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but that he knows it's useless to speak, and no one can stop him.
Until I saw the hot air balloon.
Mu Wei said seriously, "Jin Jin, I can't die now. If I die, no one will be able to control him anymore."
Chu Jinjin gave him a deep look.
These things are no longer important.
If this is true, the first target of outsiders would definitely be Black Hawk Stronghold.
She needs to get back quickly.
It took more than two months to arrive, but only twenty days to return. Chu Jinjin felt as if she had returned to the day she saved her father. She hardly slept and stopped vomiting. The immense crisis had made her body tense.
There was almost no time for reminiscing or feeling shocked.
This was an unimaginable catastrophe.
How do we fight against the Northern Desert army of over 100,000, a half-zombie army?
It was beyond the Black Hawk Mountain stronghold's ability to stop them, even with hot air balloons, even with bombs already developed, and even with Chu Jinjin and Li Dahua present.
Jie Du immediately rode to the capital.
In the face of catastrophe, one's background and hatred no longer matter.
We must join forces to have even a glimmer of hope.
The result was not surprising. Xiao Huai refused to send troops, believing that he was lying. He said that he had agreed to all the conditions that Bei Mo wanted and that it was impossible to start a war. The real targets were Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold and Chu Jinjin.
As for what he really thinks, it goes without saying.
A month later, the first snow quietly arrived, and the world was covered in a white expanse. Suddenly, a hot air balloon on patrol outside sounded a sharp whistle.
In the distance, almost invisible to the naked eye, a black line seemed to suddenly spring out.
Chu Jinjin ran out of the room, her belly as big as a pot, followed by Zhan Qinliu and others. She was now the key person to be protected in the entire Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold.
"Oh dear, be careful, child. You can't run like that. Hey, hey, watch out, the road is slippery." Chu Jinjin was caught off guard and stepped on the snow, almost losing her balance. Liu Shi was terrified.
Jiedu also ran out. During this time, everyone barely slept, building various fortifications in preparation for the upcoming battle.
The hot air balloon drifted back at top speed.
"Chieftain, no, this is terrible! The Northern Desert zombies are attacking!"
The distance is so far that it can be a long line, and the number of people involved is more than tens of thousands.
The group exchanged glances.
The atmosphere wasn't as hopeless as it seemed.
Jie Du said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order to prepare for battle."
In the past few months, Black Eagle Mountain Village has received a huge fortune from Black Dragon. They are now rolling in money, with over a hundred more hot air balloons and various traps. It's still uncertain who will live and who will die.
Li Dahua turned around and went into the house to bring out a huge piece of wood—the top part was wrapped in iron. She originally wanted to make it into the shape of a spiked club, but it was unnecessary for Li Dahua's strength.
The entire mountain stronghold immediately sprang into action.
Zhan Qin, now in charge of the hot air balloons, gave Chu Jinjin a few words of advice and hurried to his post.
Hot air balloons will be the first to charge into battle.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first hot air balloon slowly rose, followed by the second and the third, gradually flying over the mountains. In no time, the sky was as lively as a wedding celebration with balloons being released.
Instead of waiting for the wave of IPOs to arrive before making a move, it's better to take the initiative.
Chu Jinjin really wanted to go; throwing stones from the sky wouldn't be dangerous, but she was immediately lectured.
The earth trembled slightly.
The sheer power of a massive army is terrifying, and that's only considering the distance.
Of course, Chu Jinjin wouldn't stay inside either; she followed Jie Du to the highest peak of the stronghold to watch the battle.
If the hot air balloon can't be stopped, then it has no choice but to run away.
