Chapter 92
Unlike the previous two steps where there was a zombie standing, this floor was completely deserted.
However, the entire corridor was covered with expensive carpets, and the diamond chandelier overhead emitted a dazzling light.
It once obscured the blood-red sun outside the glass window.
With the calm of approaching death, Lan Hui took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Whether you die sooner or later, you're going to die eventually. If you behave more politely, will you be able to die more comfortably and gracefully?
The door opened from the inside.
The woman in the dark long dress had her dark hair styled into large waves, her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a lustrous pearl necklace. Her face was flamboyant and bright, completely different from the woman in the red dress.
Upon meeting her bloodshot eyes, Lan Hui raised her hand with difficulty to greet her, "Hello."
Wen Ya kept a cold expression, but she didn't forget Ling Wu's teachings and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hello."
The pronunciation is just a bit awkward.
Ke Lanhui was terrified!
Surprisingly, they can actually speak human language now!
"Aya, let your brother in." The girl's soft voice reached her ears, bringing a sense of peace.
The zombie king's voice sounded strangely familiar and pleasant, making his ears burn uncontrollably.
only……
Who is "brother" calling?
And why didn't anyone tell him that the Zombie Queen was a girl? And a girl with such a sweet voice?
Wen Ya's eyes flickered slightly as she turned around, leaving her back and the space she entered to Lan Hui.
Lan Hui, realizing this, did not dare to harbor any thoughts of launching a sneak attack.
Wen Ya squatted down beside Ling Wu, revealing a sweet and gentle smile, a stark contrast to her previous noble and aloof demeanor.
"Ah Wu~" she said coquettishly, and of all her words, this was the only one that was pronounced correctly and tenderly.
Wenya nuzzled the girl's fair and soft neck, "He, um... mine, Awu's!"
Lingwu gently rubbed the top of her head. "Okay, Aya belongs to Awu."
After a long while, Wenya reluctantly got up and sat on another sofa.
Only then did Lan Hui notice the girl in the white dress who was deeply slumped on the sofa.
In that instant, it overlapped with the scene before he lost consciousness.
He seemed to remember that he had been betrayed by his own brother and had been saved by a girl in a white dress after his powers were exhausted!
Behind Ling Wu was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Central Continent. The window was slightly open, and a bunch of jasmine flowers were placed in a vase, with a white ribbon tied to it in a leisurely and elegant manner.
A breeze stirred, causing the white, sheer curtains to sway slightly.
Her long, dark hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a light veil brushed against it, giving it a gentle touch. She lowered her eyes, her lips slightly pursed, serene and beautiful, like an elf who had mistakenly fallen to earth.
Even a plain white dress, as bland as boiled water, gains a layer of sanctity because of her.
She seemed detached from the world, yet also appeared to be able to control everything.
Lan Hui suddenly felt a burning sensation in her nasal cavity and hurriedly raised her hand to cover it, only to find a handkerchief suddenly appearing in front of her.
The handkerchief looked very soft, and it was still a pure white that was both striking and alluring in the post-apocalyptic world, except that it was embroidered with a small flower woven with blood-red silk thread.
"Th-thank you," Lan Hui stammered, not daring to look up at Ling Wu in front of her.
"You're welcome," she said softly, soothing the complex emotions in his heart.
But Wenya spoke up inappropriately, "Heh heh?"
Why does Awu use Chiling's handkerchief instead of Aya's?
Ling Wu remained silent, but the zombie woman in the red dress named Chi Ling blinked in response:
"Heh heh!"
That's because Miss Ji cherishes your handkerchief even more!
While the two zombies continued their "hmph" sounds, Lan Hui's face was burning hot.
until--
Wen Ya frowned, "A Wu, hehehehe!" Someone's near the hotel!
She had already forbidden her subordinates from going to human settlements, so how could there still be some reckless people running around?
Upon hearing this, Lingwu shifted her gaze from Lan Hui's face to the window.
The building was too high up; all you could see below was a large, dark mass of people.
Seeing that all sorts of new weapons were already set up, Lingwu knew what it meant.
While the zombies are still relatively low-level, they want to use modern technology to intimidate and negotiate with the zombie king.
If negotiations fail, eliminating or weakening the zombies would be a relief for humanity.
But the root of the apocalypse is not zombies.
With her domain of rules in place, these cannonballs cannot penetrate it, so nothing will happen even if she doesn't intervene.
But Ji Lingwu's wish is to see the first ray of dawn in the apocalypse, and she still needs to be treated gently by everyone, so she has to come into contact with humans.
Currently, apart from Wenya and Chiling, the rest of the zombies can only obey orders and have no ability to think independently.
She is currently researching a drug that can give zombies a mind, but something is always missing.
The zombies around her were all very docile, making the experiments quite easy, but she also wanted to see the research at the human base, hoping it might help her break through this barrier.
However, using Ling on this would consume too much of his special abilities, since it would give zombies a mind, which would be equivalent to changing the current situation of the apocalypse.
downstairs
Jiang Zhizhi had a cold expression. He stood in the middle with the big leader and other city lords of the protected city, surrounded by a group of superhumans.
The senior leader spoke up: "Xiao Jiang, how feasible do you think this method is?"
Although Jiang Zhizhi smiled, he showed no mercy: "I think it's no more than five percent."
The leader wasn't angry, but a glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes. "We have to try. For the people and for the country, we have to try to pull out the thorns in one go when they're just sprouting."
"Even if it can't, it's much better to wait until it grows so tall that it blocks out the sky and makes the humans below unable to breathe."
Jiang Zhizhi remained silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, we should always give it a try."
The senior leader patted him on the shoulder, his face showing relief, "If anything unexpected happens, don't worry about me. First, I'm not a superhuman, and second..."
He didn't finish speaking, but pointed to the red badge on his chest, his eyes filled with unwavering faith.
“But you didn’t have to come in person.” Jiang Zhizhi pursed his lips.
"People are in a state of panic right now. Giving them an explanation will at least ease their tense nerves a little, at least..."
"Wouldn't it reduce the number of people who commit suicide because they can't handle the blows?" He smiled kindly, but his eyes were full of sorrow.
“But if you also sacrifice yourself, wouldn’t the people’s spiritual pillar also disappear?” Jiang Zhizhi’s heart was filled with bitterness.
But the top leader shook his head, saying, "The world is in chaos, and those with ulterior motives are bringing disaster to the country. The people no longer have the same high level of trust in us as before."
"Some sacrifices are necessary, as they can ignite countless hearts of resistance."
"A person always needs something to strive for in life."
In the long silence, the top leader looked up at the towering Zhongzhou Hotel and couldn't help but sigh, "It's too powerful. I just hope we can negotiate. If not, humanity's status will have to change."
He let out a sigh of relief, but his brow was furrowed with weariness.
"Everyone needs something to strive for in life." Jiang Zhizhi lowered his eyes, concealing the bitterness within.
If it weren't for Ji, he would have died in that laboratory explosion long ago.
Surrounded by modern weapons and filled with superhumans, everyone held their breath and tensed up as the doors of the Central Continent Hotel slowly opened!
Intelligent zombies have emerged among the zombies, and humans call them "Zombie Kings".
When negotiating with the Zombie King, the human side naturally needs to be present and led by a high-ranking official.
The original plan for these negotiations was to take place two years later.
Two years later, during several zombie hordes that attacked human bases, humanity realized that a zombie king had emerged from among the zombies, a being with whom negotiations were possible.
The reason for advancing the timeline is that they have already discovered that the zombies seem to be under the command of a more powerful being.
This group of living dead is fearless of pain and death, physically strong, absolutely obedient, and has a leader who has developed intelligence.
It's so much better than the bloodshed, mutual suspicion and betrayal, and the competition between various sanctuary cities on the human side!
