The superhuman suddenly remembered that they had never seen their captain use his superpower for offense or defense, and Zhang Lan had once said that Chu Nian's superpower didn't have much offensive or defensive capabilities.
Therefore, even if they were both at level ten, their captain would definitely be no match for Zombie Qin.
So, their captain is deceiving the zombie Qin?
His heart was in his throat, and at the same time, he felt a sense of admiration for Chu Nian's "resourcefulness".
Qin Hao, still speaking in a cold voice and staring blankly at Chu Nian, said, "Eating a whole you is much more satisfying than eating a piece of your flesh."
Chu Nian continued with a faint smile: "But are you sure you can eat me whole? Or that I'll steal your zombie core and let you break through to the Saint Emperor level?"
Qin Hao looked her over, seemingly lost in thought.
Everyone is now hoping that he will agree to Chu Nian's conditions, because they still believe that Chu Nian's superpowers are invincible.
Chu Nian said, "Why don't you wait until you break through to the Saint Empress level, and then see if you still want to devour me whole?"
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't like going back on my word."
Upon hearing his words, everyone was overcome with grief: Qin Hao had earned the respect and complete trust of his followers precisely because of his integrity in life. They never imagined that even after becoming a zombie, he would still uphold this principle of keeping his word.
Chu Nian: "No matter what, you won't lose out on this deal at all."
Qin Hao: "What I find strange is that you are clearly a whole realm higher than me, and you might not lose to me in a fight, so why did you make such a condition?"
This statement shocked everyone again—their captain was actually stronger than Zombie Qin? But they quickly calmed down: if superpowers don't have offensive or defensive capabilities, even if someone is a small realm higher than Zombie Qin, they still can't defeat him. So the captain's decision to negotiate is absolutely correct.
Chu Nian: "All of us used to be your comrades-in-arms, and none of us want to be your enemy."
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow again, sneered, and said, "Heh, you think I'll agree to your conditions just because you say that?"
Chu Nian: "You can reach the Saint Emperor level without any fighting or taking any risks. Why not?"
Qin Hao: "I'm worried you're tampering with the meat I'm given."
Chu Nian said in a low voice, "You should know that at our level, if war breaks out, or even if I lose, it would be incredibly easy for someone to use my flesh and blood to harm you. Therefore, if war breaks out, we will likely both suffer heavy losses, allowing others to reap the benefits."
Zhang Lan and the others are still waiting; they probably want to use the zombie Qin to get rid of her. Chu Nian doesn't want to give Zhang Lan the chance to watch the show.
Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Fine, I agree to your conditions." He paused for a moment, then added, "But I want the flesh from your leg."
Chu Nian stared at him speechlessly: What should I do if I really want to beat this guy to death?
Qin Hao: "The meat on the legs tastes better, or the meat on the face would be fine too."
Chu Nian: "Do you want me to wash it clean and bake it again for you?"
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "No need, we zombies don't like to eat cooked food."
Chu Nian sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
The demon tree said, "I said, didn't you realize my master was mocking you? Giving you a piece of meat is already a favor..."
"Shut up!" Chu Nian snapped. "You're all showing off now that the negotiations are over. Why didn't you rush in earlier?"
The demon tree was a little embarrassed and awkwardly replied, "Yes!"
Chu Nian took out a knife, cut a piece of flesh off her calf, and tossed it to Qin Hao.
Everyone's legs ached from watching, and their stomachs started churning when they saw Qin Hao take the piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
But Qin Hao clearly enjoyed his food, chewing it thoroughly and even showing an expression of reluctance to swallow.
Qin Hao had been expressionless since he appeared, but now he actually had an expression on his face, which made everyone wonder: Is the captain's meat really that delicious?
Chu Nian said somewhat angrily, "Qin Hao, I just said the demon tree was showing off, now it's your turn." What's most infuriating is that he had no expression until he ate her flesh. Did he ever consider the feelings of the person being eaten?
Chu Nian is now a level 10 ability user, and her body's regenerative ability is exceptionally strong. Moreover, losing a piece of flesh is just a superficial injury. Her wound is healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The team members had already started discussing Qin Hao, the zombie king. The main reason was that they had just heard Chu Nian say that if Qin Hao ate Chu Nian's flesh, he would break through to become a Saint Emperor. However, they had no concept of either King-level or Saint Emperor-level zombies, only knowing that they were very powerful beings.
Among everyone present, besides Chu Nian, who possessed the memories of the original owner Li Nian's two lifetimes, the only other person was probably the Demon Tree, because it could sense Chu Nian's strength to some extent through its roots, and thus had some understanding of a level ten powerhouse.
"Look at Vice Captain Qin, he doesn't seem to have changed much. Will he really break through to the so-called Saint Emperor level like Captain Li said?"
"I don't know. If I hadn't seen him commanding the zombies with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed he was a zombie at all. He seemed no different from us, at least in appearance."
"The strongest zombies we've ever seen before are at the peak of level eight. Apart from their pale faces and slightly abnormal eyes, they're basically just like us living people."
"Yeah, this is a real problem. It seems like zombies are no different from us living people. How are we going to tell them apart? How are we going to spot them when they've infiltrated our ranks?"
...
The superpowered individuals were actually communicating telepathically, but because of the vast difference in their strength, both Chu Nian and Qin Hao could clearly hear their discussions.
After Qin Hao ate the piece of meat Chu Nian gave him, he stood there in a daze. Only he himself could feel the changes in his body. At this moment, he finally reacted. His eyes rolled slightly, and his gaze swept over the team members before finally landing on Chu Nian.
"You like me?" No one expected Qin Hao to say such a thing.
Chu Nian was stunned for a long time before realizing that he was talking to her, and said with a bit of helplessness, "Why do you ask that?"
Qin Hao: "Didn't that woman named Zhang Lan say that?!" He paused, then added, "Otherwise, why would you cut off a piece of your flesh to feed me?"
Chu Nian: "Because I want to help you break through to the Saint Emperor realm."
Qin Hao nodded and said, "A human who doesn't want to fight me but wants to help this zombie break through must really like me."
Chu Nian explained, "I just hope you can regain your memories from before you became a zombie."
Qin Hao: "You want me to remember everything about you, no, to be more precise, you want me to remember everything about you?"
