Each wave of zombies leaving was met with cheers from the survivors.
An atmosphere of excitement permeated the air.
Peach Village, however, seemed particularly oppressive.
The cold wind did not blow away the peach blossoms in Peach Village.
Because the wood-type zombies in Peach Village will follow Peach Elder's instructions and infuse the peach trees with life every day.
What's truly remarkable is that the decaying zombies were the very thing that transformed the entire village into a paradise, thanks to the peach trees they planted.
This ensures that Peach Village is in its most romantic state all year round.
It makes people feel good and not depressed.
Today, peach blossoms are falling one after another, and the entire Peach Village is eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of sobbing.
"Old Tao, are you really leaving? What will happen to the village?"
An old man from Peach Village looked haggard at the zombies in front of him, with his back hunched over at the front.
He was lifeless; despite being a zombie king, he looked more like a lump of dead flesh. Occasionally, a glimmer of light would appear in his murky eyes, proving that he was still "alive."
"I have to go now. I've already been delayed for two days because I'm worried about you all. We can't refuse the Emperor's orders, and I'm afraid we'll never see each other again. You must be very careful."
Old Tao glanced with his cloudy eyes toward the direction outside Tao Village, clearly worried about the safety of the villagers.
Since the day after the apocalypse, there have been no more zombie bites in Momo Village. Thanks to his brainwaves, zombies and humans coexist perfectly peacefully.
No matter how scarce food and drink was, the villagers of Peach Village never went hungry, and the zombies always had fresh flesh and blood to eat.
They complement each other.
Zhang Yiming was even very interested in Taocun's way of getting along with people, and gave him a lot of information on how to quickly improve the abilities of zombies.
I thought that in the future, the world would become a place where humans and zombies could coexist peacefully.
Unexpectedly, peace came quickly, but it wasn't about peaceful coexistence at close range.
The zombie villagers left Peach Village, and the surrounding zombies also left the vicinity of Peach Village.
Momomura may seem safe now, but it's the beginning of a dangerous situation.
Humans are capable of jealousy.
It is precisely because of the existence of Peach Elder and the village zombies in Peach Village that no human dares to steal their things or pretend to be looking for supplies.
The idea of coexisting peacefully with zombies is considered disgusting and perverted by some.
Therefore, the people of Momo Village are not welcomed by the surrounding villages.
Before a peaceful order is established, the good days for the villagers of Tao Village will come to an end.
Arson, murder, and looting go unchecked.
The weak will always vent their anger on those who are even weaker.
The people from the neighboring village wouldn't openly seek out Old Master Tao; they would have to wait until he left...
To coexist peacefully with zombies is the original sin.
Because everyone has loved ones who have died at the hands of zombies, they want revenge.
“You’re gone. We’ll never see our loved ones again. They won’t let us go either. Maybe after tomorrow, there will be no more Peach Village on this land.”
A villager looked at his loved ones with reluctance.
His relatives have turned into zombies, but fortunately, Old Tao is there so he can see them every day and eat with them.
The food we ate was different, but the joy of being with family was genuine.
Of the six members of his family, only he hadn't turned into a zombie. If his wife, children, and parents had all gone to the other side of the world, there would be no point in him living alone.
As a farmer, he had no idea how far away the other side of the earth was, nor could he imagine it.
The only way to describe it is as a distance that we can never reach in this lifetime.
"We can't stay in Momomura any longer. Let's pack our things quickly and sneak away at night when no one's around!"
Old Tao's voice was hoarse, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
He understood human nature perfectly, but he had no other way to deal with it.
Without Zhang Yiming's order not to harm humans during the retreat, he might have actually slaughtered the surrounding villagers and left without worry.
Deep down, he was still a zombie, devoid of emotion, with only an obsession with the villagers.
"Er Gouzi, what are you doing!"
No sooner had Old Tao finished speaking than a man suddenly rushed over and bit his wife's arm.
His wife is a zombie.
He didn't take the pills that the Human Survivors Alliance had given him to resist the zombie virus. Not only him, but no one in the entire village took them.
They believed their family wouldn't harm them, so they chose not to collect the pills.
Furthermore, with zombies roaming everywhere in Momo Village, the superhumans delivering the pills never even came to Momo Village, and no one in the surrounding villages would warn the survivors.
"roar--"
In less than a minute, Er Gouzi had completely transformed from a farmer into a zombie.
His face became incredibly ferocious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and it was unclear what he was laughing at.
Seeing Er Gouzi's attitude, everyone understood.
Staying in the village means death; you'll be beaten to death by the people around you. But if you become a zombie, you can stay with your loved ones forever...
Many people's eyes shone brightly, eager to try.
"The world of zombies is not a good place. The so-called safe zone we went to is just a place to wait to die. All zombies will die on the other side of the earth. There is no entertainment, no thoughts, day after day, year after year."
Old Tao's body was hunched over, and his brainwaves were emanating from him.
The zombie villagers retreated several steps, putting them much further away from the villagers.
"Don't worry, if things really get too bad, we can take you to a safe place. No one will recognize you then; you'll just be lucky survivors. Everything will get back on track. The road of the dead is the hardest to walk."
Old Master Tao's words were very effective, because since the end of the world, Old Master Tao has been the one who calls the shots in the village.
Some people gave up the idea of becoming zombies, but others remained determined.
Some people can't bear to part with their sons, some can't bear to part with their parents, and some can't bear to part with their wives or husbands...
Finally, when there was no way to persuade him, Master Tao did not force him any further.
These were their choices. For Old Tao, what he needed to protect were the villagers, whether they were humans or zombies, it didn't matter.
It's probably the zombies' cold-heartedness that's causing the problem.
More than a dozen villagers chose to become zombies and joined the ranks of zombies.
The remaining villagers began packing their things, each carrying a large bag, and followed in the middle of Tao Lao's group in tractors, vans, and tricycles.
The zombie villagers of Peach Village tightly surrounded the villagers at the innermost part, so that they could not be seen from the outside.
When Tao Lao came out, he made a huge commotion, with the roars of zombies everywhere, causing the survivors in the surrounding area to be afraid to go out, fearing that they would die just as peace was about to arrive.
This was also the last time the zombies of Peach Village protected the survivors of Peach Village.
