"Don't get too excited. Our top priority right now is to rescue Xiaowei." Luo Lin was also very anxious, but years of living in a world of deceit and treachery had taught him to warn himself and calm down before facing any major event.
Whether Bai Wei was dissected or not is something they have no way of knowing right now; they can only hope that those people aren't that cruel.
Qingzun asked anxiously, "What should we do now? You don't know what the Zombie King's purpose is among us zombies. To be honest, even if I disobey it and have thoughts of rebellion, as long as it gives an order, I will do my best to complete it without even realizing it. It's like it's engraved in my soul, and no one knows exactly why. In short, the strong are respected, and whoever is strong has the right to command all zombies."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lin also realized the seriousness of the situation. Such a violation of natural phenomena could not be dismantled by any conspiracy or trickery.
"Let me ask you, if you and the Zombie King both give orders to ordinary zombies, will they have a chance to obey you?"
Qingzun shook his head. "Impossible. Unless my orders are to follow the Zombie King, no zombie will betray the Zombie King and turn to listen to me."
Luo Lin frowned and continued, "Qing Zun, does the Zombie King have any weaknesses?"
Qingzun thought for a moment and said, "If it has any weaknesses, the only one I can think of is the zombie curse."
"A zombie curse?" Luo Lin asked in astonishment. "What is that?"
Qingzun chuckled, "It seems Xiaowei has protected you very well; you don't even know this. The so-called zombie curse is a curse that naturally forms when a superhuman is bitten by a zombie and transforms into one. The most terrifying aspect of this curse is not that one's age is forever frozen at that point, nor that one can only live for a hundred years, but that after a hundred years, the body dies, but the soul does not perish. The soul is forever imprisoned within the body, unable to reincarnate, and will never be discovered by anyone."
"What if its body is destroyed?" Luo Lin asked.
“The curse is still there, its body cannot be destroyed,” Qingzun said. “Didn’t I already say? No one will find it. A hundred years from now, no one knows where it will be.”
"I see, I understand now." Luo Lin nodded thoughtfully.
Qingzun said, "This curse can be broken. Just find someone who loves you and drip their heart's blood onto yourself, and the curse will be broken. In return, the person who gives their heart's blood will lose a hundred years of their lifespan."
Luo Lin recalled the events from when he first met Bai Wei until now. He had not been injured, nor had Bai Wei deliberately taken any blood from him.
"Don't even think about it. Xiaowei got her heart's blood from someone else; she doesn't need yours."
"You took someone else's?" Luo Lin frowned.
"Don't worry, she didn't fall for that person. She just cooked for him, did his laundry, smiled at him, and didn't do anything else." Qingzun suddenly felt a little disdainful of Luo Lin, and couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Wei could fall for such a man.
Luo Lin finally felt relieved, realizing that Bai Wei's actions were the best choice.
He didn't speak, but instead sorted out his thoughts.
"I've figured it out. The Zombie King probably wants Feng Yin's heart's blood, but he hasn't gotten it yet."
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that!" Qingzun suddenly realized.
Luo Lin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back first and report to my father about Feng Yin's collusion with the zombies. Then we'll gather the strength of the three cities, capture Feng Yin, and threaten the Zombie King."
"I advise you to be careful with this plan," Qingzun said.
"What do you mean?" Luo Lin looked at it.
Qingzun dropped an even more explosive bombshell: "The beastmen are now all under the command of the Zombie King."
"What?!"
Luo Lin was stunned, and couldn't help but curse Su Xi in his heart: Damn zombie king, why is he so difficult to deal with!
This is terrible. With the zombie army and the orcs combined, this is not something that can be handled by just three cities.
No matter how desperate Luo Lin was, Qiao Qiu continued to put pressure on the three city lords.
Preventing them from taking advantage of her is one thing, but letting them know that Qiao Qiu is not someone to be trifled with is another.
If she doesn't establish her prestige, people will still treat her like a child. It's one thing to look down on her, but it's another to completely disregard her.
The three city lords were in tears: We know we were wrong, please let us go, we'll follow you as our leader, okay?
For the past ten days, the three city lords have been worried about being attacked by the zombie army while listening to Qiao Qiu explain the importance of science to them. The key point is that Qiao Qiu said that if they do not fully understand the importance of science, he will not send troops to help them.
The three city lords were on the verge of collapse, and every day they uttered ten thousand "mmp"s, unsure whether they should say them or not.
Qiao Qiu had her reasons for doing this; if there was any chance of the apocalypse ending, it would basically be science that saved humanity.
At that time, she will definitely relinquish power.
What if these leaders remain selfish and self-serving even after she relinquishes power?
After surviving the apocalypse, will there be another political war?
Therefore, brainwashing is necessary.
Oh, right, and a sense of mission.
Although it may sound a bit childish, can the world still develop if researchers and politicians lack a sense of mission?
So Qiao Qiu began to brainwash the three city lords about their sense of mission.
Although the three city lords were very selfish and had been involved in the dark world of fame and fortune for many years, their conscience was not completely extinguished. More than ten years ago, they were also civil servants who were wholeheartedly devoted to the country.
When Qiao Qiu brainwashed them, she was initially dismissive, but after a while, she completely broke down their psychological defenses and they began to agree with what Qiao Qiu said.
Qiao Qiu: My psychology studies weren't for nothing.
Just then, Luo Lin returned to the North City and told City Lord Qiao Qiu about colluding with zombies.
Once the Northern City Lord realized what was happening, he immediately joined forces with the other two city lords to launch a campaign against Qiao Qiu.
He was wondering why all the zombies were just standing around outside the city, showing no signs of attacking. Turns out it was that little brat's doing.
What's even more outrageous is that zombies are the enemy of humans, yet she actually let zombies into the city. Does she want all of humanity to perish?
The city lords harbored various conspiracy theories, especially after learning that Qiao Qiu was colluding with the Zombie King. They believed that Qiao Qiu did this because she wanted to rule the world with the Zombie King.
What's most important about scientists? Is a sense of mission crucial?
That's all bullshit!
It's all just stalling for time. Once the southern city becomes a zombie-infested area, then it'll be their other cities' turn.
However, before the city lords could take any action, Qiao Qiu, having received the news, launched another round of brainwashing propaganda.
