Shi Kun had just woken up when he was slapped twice across the face.
He shook his head and stared at the situation. He saw two men standing in front of him, one of whom was the man who seemed to have a supernatural template.
The other man was someone Shi Kun didn't recognize. He hadn't seen him before, but he could guess that it was this stranger who had ambushed and captured him.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. I was just passing by." Shi Kun's mind gradually cleared. He knew that he absolutely could not admit that he had attracted the Corpse King.
"Old Chen, go and castrate him!" Zhang Lin threw the machete in his hand to Chen Zibo.
"Uh..." Chen Zibo took the machete, hesitating a bit. Shouldn't he be a little ruthless from the start?
Looking at the serrated, obviously not-very-sharp machete, Shi Kun couldn't help but swallow hard. The thought of using this knife to castrate himself...
He trembled and quickly said, "It was me! The Corpse King was chasing me, but I didn't mean to lead him here. It was an accident!"
"Is that so? I don't believe it!" Zhang Lin sneered. "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Just tell me straight, what is your purpose in bringing the Corpse King here? You only have one chance. No matter whether what you say is true or false, if I find it unbelievable after listening to you, I will castrate you!"
Shi Kun: "..."
Is this a demon?!
The criteria for evaluation are entirely up to you!
I'm afraid you'll castrate me even if I tell the truth!
He couldn't help but look at Chen Zibo, his eyes filled with a pitiful look, hoping that Chen Zibo could be more normal.
"Uh..." Chen Zibo did indeed find Zhang Lin's interrogation standards quite bizarre, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"What I say doesn't count, you'd better be honest." He gave Shi Kun a helpless look.
"Yes...yes, after the Zombie King is born, it will soon command all the zombies in the surrounding area to form a zombie army that will sweep away everything. I accidentally bumped into the Zombie King. It hasn't started building its zombie army yet. If we can get rid of it now..."
“I am no match for the Corpse King myself, so I plan to lure him to the vicinity of Hope City and use the strength of all the experts in Hope City to deal with the Corpse King. As for you… I underestimated the strength of the Corpse King. It caught up with me very quickly, so I want to use you to delay the Corpse King.”
Shi Kun lowered his head, seemingly resigned to his fate, and said.
"I believe half of what you say. I'll give you one more chance. Say the rest you haven't said!" Zhang Lin said calmly, looking at him.
"..." Shi Kun was silent for a moment, then continued, "I was watching from a distance and saw you use extraordinary abilities, somewhat like the extraordinary templates from the new era, so I became greedy, and thus..."
He didn't say what he meant after that, but everyone knew what he meant.
"I've told you everything, please don't kill me!" Shi Kun shouted in terror as he saw the growing coldness in Zhang Lin's eyes.
"Zhang Lin, should we kill him?" Chen Zibo asked from the side.
He felt that this person initially had the idea of eliminating a scourge for humanity, and even if he later became greedy, he did not deserve to die.
"Old Chen, you're a good person, but you need to change your 'good-natured' personality. If you don't, you never know when you'll die!" Zhang Lin reprimanded him without any politeness.
Chen Zibo looked embarrassed.
“However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you weren’t like this, I wouldn’t be friends with you,” Zhang Lin added.
"Thank you!" Chen Zibo smiled slightly.
“But I definitely have to kill this person. Not to mention that he lured the Corpse King here, he has already seen Qingge and me using the extraordinary template. If I don’t kill him, and he tells others, Qingge and I might be in trouble.” Zhang Lin said this, ignoring Shi Kun’s terrified eyes, and directly chopped off his head with a knife.
The reason for interrogating Shi Kun was to find out if he had any other schemes or accomplices. Now that they knew, he was no longer of any value, and Zhang Lin acted swiftly and decisively.
Shi Kun's head fell to the ground, and blood gushed from his neck.
Seeing this, Chen Zibo remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Sigh... I know you're doing the right thing, I'll listen to you!"
"That's more like it!" Zhang Lin patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Old Chen, I have an idea. Let's discuss it when we get home."
Chen Zibo nodded, "Okay."
At this moment, An Qingge also cut off the Corpse King's ears. The Corpse King was huge, and its ears were also very large, even larger than an elephant's ears. Fortunately, the takeout box was big enough, and there weren't many other zombies killed today, so it could barely fit into the takeout box.
"The car broke down, how are we going to get back?" An Qingge walked over, holding a long gun in one hand and a takeout box in the other.
The van was definitely not drivable; both front tires had burst.
Fortunately, it's the apocalypse, so there's no shortage of cars on the roadside.
Zhang Lin didn't want a car with zombies inside; it was too dirty, and it wouldn't be good if he got infected with the zombie virus. So he found a car parked on the side of the road, but there was a problem: there were no keys in the car.
"Old Chen, you used to be a reconnaissance soldier, did you learn how to wire a circuit? Like in the movies, you pull out two wires, connect them and it'll light?" Zhang Lin turned to ask Chen Zibo.
"We're studying reconnaissance, not car theft!" he explained helplessly, then added, "But I really do know how. Let me check the cars first. They vary by model; some can be connected to wires, and some can't."
As he spoke, he walked over, looked at the car's model, then sat in the driver's seat, turned on the dashboard, fiddled with it for a while, took out two wires, connected them, and the car started instantly.
For the rest of the journey, Chen Zibo drove, while Zhang Lin and An Qingge sat in the back, and the takeout box was thrown into the trunk.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Lin and his group arrived at Hope City.
Looking at Hope City, which was still prosperous in the apocalypse, bustling with people and where no one looked hungry, Chen Zibo was astonished. "In the apocalypse, there is actually such a pure land?"
“It’s not exactly a pristine place. There are few people here now, but as the population grows, both living space and food will become scarce resources. At that time, this place will probably become a slum.” Zhang Lin told Chen Zibo to stop the car dealership.
"Manager Sha, my car broke down. Can I apply for another one?" He jumped out of the car and looked for the car dealership manager.
A random family car picked up on the roadside is no match for the comfortable ride of the minivan specially modified by the city lord.
"broken?"
Manager Sha from the car dealership ran out, looking around, "Where's the car? Let me see if it can be repaired."
"The car didn't come back." Zhang Lin shrugged. "To be precise, the car can't be driven back because it's flattened."
"Flattened?" Manager Sha stared wide-eyed, carefully considering the word "flattened." What kind of driving skills could possibly flatten a car?
