The level six zombie king was extremely ruthless in his pursuit of meat, showing no favoritism or leniency towards the level five zombie who was his former subordinate. Unfortunately, the level five zombie, suppressed by its superior level, dared not resist and was quickly beaten to the brink of death.
Banxia tossed the meat to the Level 6 Zombie King with satisfaction, then turned to the Level 5 Zombie: "I have a question for you. If you can answer me truthfully, I'll let you go and even give you an extra big gift—"
She promised, word by word, "A fully grown mutated wild boar!"
The level 5 zombie did not succumb to temptation, tilting its head away with great pride and remaining silent.
However, upon hearing the words "mutated wild boar," the level six zombie's eyes lit up with excitement: "Hehehehe!"
Humans, ask me!
Banxia: "...Since you're more obedient than it, if you answer me truthfully, I'll give you two wild boars!"
She didn't ask the zombie king because it seemed rather foolish and might not be able to give her the answer she wanted. But at this point, she clearly had no better option and could only give it a try.
"Hehehehehe!"
I promise to answer truthfully!
Have you seen any other zombies of similar level to you?
The Level 6 Zombie King nodded frantically: "Hehe!"
I've seen it!
Banxia smiled in surprise. It seemed the Zombie King wasn't as stupid as she thought: "How many have you seen? What do they look like? Which direction are they in?"
The Level 6 Zombie King pointed in a direction: "Hehehe..."
Before it could finish speaking, it was pounced on by a level 5 zombie and knocked to the ground. It excitedly cursed at the level 6 zombie king: "Hehehehehehe!"
As the Zombie King, you actually betrayed your own kind for a bite to eat! It's a disgrace!
The Level 6 Zombie King blinked in confusion. Zombies' nature is to eat, and they are willing to do anything for food. Besides, it is a competitor of other zombies, so why can't it betray them?
Fearing that the level 5 zombie might displease the humans, it impatiently grabbed the level 5 zombie's arm with one hand and attacked with the other hand, its five fingers poised to strike the level 5 zombie's eyes.
The level 5 zombie couldn't dodge in time and its eyeballs were gouged out. It immediately became ferocious and viciously bit the arm of the level 6 zombie.
The level six zombie never expected that the guy who had just been beaten to the point of near death would dare to resist it. It casually stuffed the gouged-out eyeball into its mouth and then gouged out the other eyeball.
It even frowned and pouted in a human-like way, as if it disliked the taste of the eyeballs!
Banxia hadn't expected that a moment of inattention would lead to two zombies suddenly engaging in a fierce battle, but seeing that the level six zombie was temporarily gaining the upper hand, she simply ignored it. It wasn't until the two zombies had almost finished fighting, or more precisely, when the level six zombie was about to dig out the level five zombie's crystal core, that she finally spoke up to stop them.
"Stop!"
The Level 6 zombie king glanced at the head of the Level 5 zombie with some resentment and protested at Banxia, "Hehehehe!"
Humans, flesh!
Banxia silently put it into her spatial storage: "I'll send the meat over to you later."
She secretly instructed the Devouring Tree to continue interrogating Charlotte, the other level-six zombie king, and then kicked a level-five zombie: "I saved your life, shouldn't you try to repay me?"
Zombies can devour each other to level up, so they are all in competition with one another. A level 5 zombie, so protective of its kind, is practically one in a million. However, this also suggests it's quite intelligent; it might know more than a level 6 zombie king.
The level 5 zombie bared its teeth fiercely at Banxia, "If it weren't for you, the Bewitching King, betraying your own kind, how could I have almost died?"
Banxia pretended not to see its expression and asked to herself, "Have you seen any other zombie kings?"
The level 5 zombie remained silent.
Banxia knew that zombies had no sense of pain, so physically torturing them was useless. So she silently took out a bucket of fresh mutated pig blood and put it in front of the level 5 zombie to tempt it: "Do you want to eat it? If you do, tell me the truth."
The level 5 zombie sniffed, but remained silent.
Banxia snorted coldly: "Fine, if you don't want to talk, your king will. Silver, dig for crystals—"
Seeing that she was serious, the level 5 zombie immediately yelled, "Heh heh!"
I said!
"It would have been so much better if you had known this sooner, instead of suffering for nothing. How many zombie kings have you seen? What do they look like? What abilities do they have? How many minions do they have? When and where did they last appear..."
"Hehehe..."
Having obtained the information she wanted, Banxia put the pig's blood back into her spatial storage, then gestured to Yinzi, "It's yours now."
Although the level 5 zombie was blind because it had lost its eyes, its hearing was still very developed, and it immediately protested loudly: "Hehehehehehe!"
Damn humans, you promised to let me go!
Banxia said without any guilt: "I said 'I'll let you off the hook."
The kitten was the one who did it, what business is it of hers?
Yinzi swiftly and efficiently dealt with the level 5 zombie. Banxia casually tossed the crystal core into her spatial storage and took out paper and pen to write down the level 5 zombie's confession.
According to the level 5 zombie, it had seen a total of four zombie kings: three level 6 and one level 7. The three level 6 zombie kings were seen five days ago in a nearby city, where they were fighting; the level 7 zombie king was seen several months ago.
This was similar to the information the Level 6 Zombie King had told the Devouring Tree. Banxia threw the confession into her spatial storage and decided to deal with the leaderless minions of zombies first, and then go to find the whereabouts of the other three Zombie Kings.
There were about 50,000 zombies in this group. Banxia didn't want to waste any more time, so she simply released all the healthy mutated plants in the space: "In short, whoever gets the crystal core keeps it!"
Upon hearing this, the mutated plants and animals became excited, and many crystal cores appeared!
They had already developed a basic sense of cooperation and did not blindly rush into the zombie horde. Instead, they charged in groups of three or five, following the teams assigned to them by the Banyan Tree King and Apricot.
Banxia, along with the Devouring Tree, Nanxing, Banyan King, Yinzi, and Cow Cat, specifically targeted high-level zombies to kill, lest their own low-level mutated plants and animals lose their lives in vain.
The battle ended quickly; after all, a disorganized group is no match for a well-prepared team.
The only headache was that there were too many zombie corpses. Leaving them here could easily breed the next zombie king. After thinking for a while, Banxia simply stuffed them all into her space and planned to deal with them slowly when she had time.
After resting for a night, Banxia and her companion set off again the next morning to search for the Zombie King.
The first city they went to was the one mentioned by the Level 5 Zombie King, but when the two arrived, it was already deserted, with only broken walls and ruins left.
Banxia was not disappointed. The zombie king, leading a large number of his subordinates, had to continue searching for new food. Otherwise, if the infighting continued, he would eventually become a lone commander.
