Ye Shang and the others first went to L City, which is a bit further away. It is an ancient city with many cultural heritages. Before the apocalypse, the city relied on these antique buildings to attract a large number of tourists every year.
The helicopter landed on a platform not far from the city. After everyone got off, they saw swarms of zombies wandering around, not only at the city gate, but also around the platform where the helicopter was landed.
Strangely, they did not attack the humans, but instead surrounded a group of people in a circle, preventing them from leaving.
After Song Wennuan got off the plane, she moved closer to Ye Shang's location, and Wei Jin and the others also adopted a defensive posture.
Standing beside Ye Shang, Qing Li said, "These are all intelligent zombies."
Because their movements were almost entirely arranged according to the instructions from above, not a single zombie went astray. They were like robots that had been programmed to move around, and their footprints didn't change much.
Once a zombie walks past, the zombies behind it will follow in its footprints.
Every zombie follows this path.
Ye Shang looked at the zombies surrounding them, pondered for a moment, and said, "Does this mean we have to wait here?"
Song Wenwen, who was standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "How did you figure that out?"
How come she didn't notice this? The zombies kept circling around them, neither attacking nor leaving.
On the other side, Wei Jin whispered, "These zombies not only move in a predictable pattern, but even their expressions are almost identical. They must be controlled by someone, but we don't know where that person is."
The zombies that have gained intelligence are quite different from the mindless zombies of the early post-apocalyptic world. The first difference is their facial expressions; they often maintain the same expression for a long time. Many zombies, once they become conscious, will adjust their facial expressions.
These zombies are clearly different from the previous ones, but their facial expressions are similar. However, they are not all exactly the same as they are now. This makes Wei Jin feel that someone is directing or controlling them when he is observing them.
Wei Jin observed all of this through the zombies. From the early days of the apocalypse to now, his biggest gain has been the survival strategies of the zombies. He has a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to live a long and healthy life as an ordinary person.
Ye Shang looked at him and nodded: "That's right. As mentioned before, every city has a zombie king, so this city is also under the control of the zombie king."
However, the next moment, a woman in a red gauze dress flew in from not far away. She had a beautiful face and a smiling face. But she landed the moment she saw Ye Shang.
When Ye Shang saw her, his eyes were filled with a smile: "I was wondering where you went before, to this old city."
The female zombie in red was cursing the stupid thing who tricked her into coming to see the spoils in her heart, but on the surface she smiled and said to Ye Shang and the others, "Welcome to P City."
Ye Shang looked at her with a half-smile, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
Hongying cursed the idiot in her heart, but smiled and replied, "Sure, this way please."
As he spoke, he directed the zombies surrounding them to move away from Ye Shang and the others.
Rows of zombies were seen heading in the opposite direction, then continuing to wander along the edge of the city, like NPCs in a game, not needing to eat, drink, relieve themselves, rest, or sleep, just roaming around all day.
Ye Shang glanced at the zombies and followed Hong Ying's steps.
Wei Jin and the others followed her; some of them were seeing such a lifelike zombie king for the first time.
Zombie kings had visited the base before. Wei Jin had seen one from afar that time, and Qing Li had received them. Each of those zombie kings was dressed in tattered clothes, and some of them had scars on their faces that were festering. They all looked disgusting and terrifying.
It was quite remarkable that the leader of the Qingli tribe could receive these zombies without changing his expression.
Someone even whispered to their companion, "Is this really a zombie? It's so good-looking."
The person next to him, seemingly afraid that his voice would be heard by the leaders in front, quickly patted his arm and said, "Don't talk."
However, the people in front of them all possessed extraordinary abilities or cultivation levels that could be described as powerful figures in their own right. Ye Shang, Qing Li, Hong Ying, cultivators, demon kings, zombie kings, and they could keep track of all the movements around them.
Hongying glanced at the superhuman behind her, only to find that Ye Shang's gaze remained fixed on her. She smiled at Ye Shang and said, "My lord, your subordinates are all the elite among elites."
Ye Shang glanced at her only: "Just lead the way. Whether you're an elite or not is none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Hongying shrugged and remained silent.
However, Wei Jin and the others behind could clearly hear the conversation between the two, but they were not too worried because Ye Shang and Qing Li were both there.
Everyone in the base had an inexplicable sense of trust in Ye Shang and Qing Li.
Ye Shang and the others followed Hong Ying as they walked, and the zombies around them all made way for them, just like they had done in H City before.
This scene left the other ability users behind them completely stunned.
The zombie king led the way, and all the zombies gave way. They even saw a funny scene: some zombies didn't have time to get out of the way, so they simply turned their backs to the wall or lay down on the ground, covering their eyes, as if they thought that this way no one could see them.
Ye Shang's expression didn't change much, but among the superhumans behind him, some of the girls couldn't help but cover their mouths to control their voices, and secretly smiled.
These zombies, which usually look terrifying, now each act like a comedic genius, making the audience laugh.
The journey was unusually quiet until we arrived at a house where several high-level zombies were guarding the door.
There are also different levels among the high-level zombies, but they are all very simple and earned their status through fighting. Even Hongying's zombie king earned his status through fighting.
Those high-level zombies were all defeated by Hong Ying. Each of them had challenged her, but they were all thoroughly defeated.
These high-level zombies all asked Hongying, "Your Majesty, are these humans?"
Hongying nodded: "That's right, I'll take them in to see the shadowy figure."
After saying that, the group walked into the courtyard. However, just as they were about to enter the house, Hongying stopped and said to Ye Shang, "My lord, is it alright if your subordinates wait here? Although the space inside is large, the zombie king doesn't like places with many humans."
Ye Shang glanced at their group, who were coming in one after another, nodded, and said to Song Wenwen, "You wait here for a moment, Qingli and I will go in and take a look first."
