Because he had absorbed too many zombie crystal cores, Qian Yuan's emotions had become extremely detached. When he thought of his father, his heart didn't seem to ache much.
Qianyuan covered his body with his hair, intending to find a slightly cleaner piece of clothing from the zombies to cover himself. However, having been pampered for a long time, he still disliked the dirty clothes. He frowned and manipulated the zombies around him to find clothes, but those clumsy, low-level zombies could only carry out the most basic commands, heading towards the mall with blank heads, unable to even open the doors.
Qianyuan sighed, wanting to summon a high-level zombie, but unexpectedly summoned someone who surprised him.
It is Long Yiling.
Like the cub at the beginning of its zombification, Long Yiling retained its own consciousness. Faced with the summons of the Zombie King, Long Yiling could only think of resisting.
It seems that because he couldn't resist, Long Yiling thought he would assassinate the Zombie King after he arrived in front of him. However, he didn't expect that the person he picked up the knife to stab had such an amazing appearance.
Moreover, his appearance gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
"Dragon Memory Zero".
Qian Yuan's words surprised Long Yiling even more. Why did this zombie king know his name? Was the previous zombie king eaten by this guy?
Seeing that Long Yiling was still not letting his guard down, Qianyuan could only reach out and lightly tap Long Yiling's forehead so that Long Yiling could share his memories with him.
Long Yiling froze, as memories from the cub's perspective flooded back, overwhelming him. He hadn't expected the cub to be... nor had he expected the person before him to be the cub as an adult...
At the same time, a suffocating sadness overwhelmed him.
The little one certainly won't be able to return to the human refuge city and reunite with his father now.
Like him, the child became a displaced and homeless person.
Long Yiling couldn't help but think that if his son felt lonely or isolated, he could keep him company right now.
He is the only one in this world who can accompany Qianyuan.
Now they are each other's only family.
Long Yiling knelt down on one knee, making a gesture of submission towards Qian Yuan.
He never imagined that he could live for others, or that his existence could have meaning.
Just as a loyal dog offers its devotion and a knight pledges its allegiance, Long Yiling willingly surrendered her loyalty for the first time.
Qian Yuan blinked, seemingly not quite understanding Long Yiling's intense emotions, but he still reached out and gave Long Yiling his own blood.
This will allow Long Yiling to be reborn and gain even greater power under his command.
Even if Qianyuan is unable to empathize with others' emotions, he is still a good boy who reciprocates with courtesy.
Following Qian Yuan's instructions, Long Yiling found clean clothes for him and took the initiative to take care of Qian Yuan, changing his clothes and cleaning the bloodstains. Qian Yuan's hair was too long and dragged on the ground, getting stained with blood, which Long Yiling also cleaned up bit by bit in silence.
Qianyuan was used to being taken care of, and although he didn't say it, he actually enjoyed it very much.
The little one sat on Long Yiling's lap and began to swing his toes without her noticing. It wasn't until Long Yiling noticed someone coming that she picked up Qianyuan with one hand and hid in the forest with her.
It turned out that Long Yinian had returned. Despite hearing the news that the zombie king was besieging the southern shelter, Long Yinian still ran back despite his true feelings.
However, Long Yiling did not choose to go forward to see Long Yinian.
He silently retreated into the shadows.
"Why?"
Qianyuan was already a bit slow-witted, and now she seems even more confused.
He is now like a god who is ignorant of the ways of the world, unable to empathize with the joys and sorrows of others and himself.
But Long Yiling wasn't angry; she just felt sorry for him.
My heart aches for that little one who wanted to risk his life to protect others.
"Because I have to take care of you. I can't be tied to Long Yinian forever. Long Yinian has already sacrificed a lot for me. Maybe he would be better off without me."
"I have things I need to do now."
Qian Yuan nodded upon hearing this and snuggled into Long Yiling's arms. However, before Long Yiling could even lift her up, the little guy suddenly transformed back into a tiny cub.
Qianyuan was forcibly enlarged, and his power is unstable at this time, so it is easier for him to remain in his miniature form.
Long Yiling was startled and quickly reached out to catch the cub, afraid of dropping it.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out the baby was just tired and had fallen asleep.
Long Yiling breathed a sigh of relief. He put the cub to his heart and planned to find an apartment where the cub could live and clean it out.
It seems that even now, Long Yiling has not treated the cub as a zombie, but has taken care of him as an ordinary child.
Seeing that the cub had only changed guardians and hadn't become a homeless child, even the system breathed a sigh of relief.
They all have a fatherly mentality and don't think that their children should become independent once they grow up.
They've spoiled the child for so long, no matter how you look at it, no matter how Qianyuan changes, in their eyes he's still just a kid who needs to lock the door at home.
The cub was so tired that he slept soundly until the world turned dark, unaware that Long Qian had been seriously injured and hadn't closed his eyes since he started looking for him.
Long Qian has gone mad.
Seeing that Long Qian was still using his powers to search for the cubs despite his own exhaustion, the doctor could only call someone forward to knock Long Qian unconscious and bring him back.
But the next second, Long Qian activated the seed of mental control on all of them.
Excessive mind control can damage the memory and brain of both the user and the manipulated, but Long Qian no longer cares about that.
He abandoned his principles, discarded everything, and took control of his dark army, advancing forward.
When Long Yinian arrived, he was greeted by this horrific scene.
Long Qian can even control more superpowers by controlling others.
Ordinary people can no longer stop him.
Long Yinian could only try to appeal to his emotions: "If the cub were still alive, what would he think if he saw you like this?! Long Qian, have you thought about that?"
Long Qian looked at Long Yinian for a long time, then revealed a sinister smile.
Long Yinian looked down and realized that he was also injured.
That's too fast.
To save his own life, Long Yinian had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him and quickly stepped back, watching Long Qian leave.
Long Qian relentlessly pursued Qian Yuan, conquering cities along the way without mercy. His territory grew ever larger, transforming him into a true dark tyrant.
Sometimes, people can't tell the difference between him and the Zombie King.
It's even more like a monster than the Zombie King.
Only by joining forces with another smaller city in the north were they spared from being swallowed up by Long Qian's power. They were still fearful, worrying about both the Zombie King and Long Qian. Everyone was complaining and wanted the current city lord to get rid of Long Qian.
The city lord revealed his mixed-race face. His features were deep and distinct, his expression was indifferent, and most impressively, he had heterochromatic eyes.
He's clearly a cold person, yet his eyes seem to hold deep affection for everyone he meets.
