The last time they met, the kid dared to blurt out all the truth, but it was also because of his reminder that he was able to communicate with Zhao Chengyu. Just like he said, in the end times, no one knows whether there will be a tomorrow. Instead of worrying about whether to be together every day and causing distraction, it is better to be together directly.
People in love share the same ideals, and some things proceed much faster than before.
Ming Tang obediently pulled out a chair for Lin Su when he came in. When he sat back in his seat, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be even more obedient than me in a while."
Ruan Zehua: “…”
This temperament has not changed at all.
"This is the eighth-level crystal core." Lin Su didn't hesitate and directly placed the box containing the crystal core on the table and pushed it over.
The box was simple, but the crystal core was so gorgeous that it was hard to imagine it was taken out from an ugly zombie.
Zhao Chengyu took a look but didn't reach out to touch it. "You shouldn't be calling us here just to give us the crystal core. Feel free to ask for any conditions you have."
Even though they are in a cooperative relationship, Lin Su is definitely not a simple person in Zhao Chengyu's mind. Because Ming Tang seems to be the face of the Pojun base, but the operation of the entire base is decided by him. Instead, Ming Tang, who seems to be the master, is directly in a hollow state.
"What is your impression of high-level zombies?" Lin Su asked.
Ruan Zehua's expression was somewhat subtle: "They are already very close to humans, some are even difficult to distinguish."
The higher the level of the zombies, the more they look like humans, and they also have human thinking and memory. This means that hunting such zombies is like killing people, but they cause a zombie tide and attack human bases, so they have to be killed.
Zhao Chengyu said, "Just tell me what you want to ask."
Lin Su laughed: "Have you ever encountered a zombie that didn't harm people? How did you deal with it?"
There was a pause in the meeting room. Ruan Zehua and Zhao Chengyu exchanged a glance. "We did encounter a zombie before that didn't attack humans. It's embarrassing to say, but since we could communicate, he was just a student when he turned into a zombie and had no intention of harming anyone, so we let him go."
In many people's minds, zombies are creatures that must be killed. If someone with ulterior motives knew about letting one go, it would definitely lead to criticism. But Ruan Zehua did not regret it, because the zombie was too much like a human. It was as if he had changed his body, but still lived like an ordinary human.
"Well, you're really kind." Ming Tang propped up her chin and looked at him. "Since you passed our quiz, I'm going to give you a big surprise. Are you looking forward to it?"
His interested expression was a sign of him playing a prank on someone. Ruan Zehua subconsciously prepared himself to prevent his heart from overwhelmed. "I'm a little excited. What is it?"
Ming Tang adhered to the principle that even if he got scared, he wouldn't let others get away with it. He looked at Lin Su who was sitting next to him and said in an extremely calm tone: "Actually, he is the Zombie King."
The conference room was so quiet at this moment that you could hear a pin drop. Even though Ruan Zehua had prepared himself mentally, he still felt that Ming Tang was joking. But how could such a thing be a joke? He looked at Lin Su in surprise. Although Zhao Chengyu was still calm, lightning flashed between his fingers.
Knowing this secret not only brought surprise, but also the fear that if their conditions were not agreed to, they would not be able to leave this meeting room.
Ruan Zehua gave a wry smile. "This surprise is truly huge. I really didn't expect it. But since you didn't make a move, it means you have conditions to negotiate. What are they?"
"Cooperate with the zombie group." Lin Su quietly waited for them to calm down, and said bluntly, "As zombies level up, they will gradually acquire human consciousness. Some will attack humans, while others are peace-loving. I can organize the peace-loving group and give humans more space to survive, but this requires a peace agreement."
Listening to his words, Zhao Chengyu's tense nerves relaxed: "There are many bases in the apocalypse. It's useless to reach a peace agreement with only the Asahi base."
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the scary thing about zombies was that they bit randomly and could not communicate. They were like monsters.
Even though the man sitting in front of him was infected with the zombie virus, he looked like a person who could communicate normally, and he had no ill will towards humans.
With such a superior, the zombie tide can be controlled better than before, and many innocent casualties can be avoided.
But Zhao Chengyu believed in him, but people in other bases might not believe him, because they are not of our race, and their hearts must be different. If Pojun Base had not developed to such a scale and developed so peacefully under Lin Su's hands, Zhao Chengyu might not believe him.
"So I need you to become the leader of humanity." Lin Su pushed the crystal core over, "And I will build a social group of zombies. On the day you achieve your goal, we will openly cooperate and achieve a balanced situation. Only in this way can the apocalypse end more peacefully."
He was the Zombie King, yet he was talking about the end of the apocalypse. Zhao Chengyu asked seriously, "Do you mean that zombies will die out even if they are not killed?"
"The only way for the zombie horde to expand is through humans." Lin Su stretched out his hand and said, "Even though this body looks strong, it can only last for a few hundred years. Zombies are not immortal."
They seem to be afraid of everything and there seems to be no end to their lifespan, but in fact there is, it's just that humans haven't discovered it yet.
As long as they do not invade each other for a hundred years, all the zombies will return to the earth, eventually ending the apocalypse.
Lin Su's statement undoubtedly gave mankind a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, even Zhao Chengyu would not know how long it would take to completely wipe out the endless horde of zombies.
"I agree." Zhao Chengyu said.
He had no reason to refuse. There were too many zombies, so many that the ratio to ordinary humans was even several hundred to one. A base with hundreds of thousands of people could already be called a large base, and there were not many human beings.
"I'm glad you've made this decision. I'll do my best to help you become the new leader of humanity." Lin Su stood up and held out his hand. Zhao Chengyu took it and asked, "Will your zombie virus not spread?"
"I can already perfectly seal the virus, don't worry." Lin Su said with a smile, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. If you breach the contract, I will launch a full-scale zombie wave."
The power of the Zombie King is terrifying. Once all the zombie groups are organized, humanity will face complete darkness.
"I understand." Zhao Chengyu's heart sank. Such consequences were definitely not something that modern humans could bear.
He had thought about the consequence of the Zombie King being destroyed. The result would be the emergence of a new king, and the next one might not be as easy to talk to as this one.
