After a long while, Qin Zhao's chest gradually calmed down, and his breathing finally stabilized.
He slumped onto the black leather sofa, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Little Gray jumped up and curled up into a ball, nestled in his lap.
After a long while, Qin Zhao finally opened his eyes, and returned to his usual self, with his unrestrained posture and sharp gaze.
He reached out and touched Little Gray, then turned to look at the person who had been staying in the room, and slowly said, "I'm leaving here and heading north. Release those captive superhumans."
The man paused, a look of surprise appearing on his somewhat rotting face: "Your Majesty, you want to leave here?"
"Hmm." Qin Zhao nodded: "I recently came across an interesting team of superpowered individuals who are actually delusional about ending the apocalypse. I'll go and see how far they can go."
"End the apocalypse?" The man scoffed. "What a pipe dream. It's only because Your Majesty is in a good mood that you spared their lives. Instead, they're thinking of wiping us all out?"
Qin Zhao stood up, holding Little Gray, and looked at the night outside: "They are different from other superpowered teams. They are not here to eliminate zombies, but to save them."
"Salvation?" Upon hearing this, the man sneered, "How can we be saved? We've already turned into zombies; our physical structure is completely different from that of the living. Do you think they can reverse time and go back to before the apocalypse?"
Qin Zhao was not angered by the man's disdainful attitude and sneer. He simply said calmly, "Their goal is to develop medicines that can resist the zombie virus, and even vaccines. Those who have become zombies and lost their ability to think for themselves are naturally to be eliminated in their eyes. It sounds like a fantasy, but I don't think it's impossible."
"And another thing," Qin Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at the man, "I smelled the scent of an intelligent zombie on their captain."
The man was taken aback: "His abilities are that high? He can actually kill an intelligent zombie?"
"He has dual-elemental abilities, both at level 8, which is top-tier among living people, but in my opinion, he's nothing special."
The man was even more confused after hearing this: "Then how did he kill the intelligent zombie and obtain the superpower core?"
"So I find it very strange," Qin Zhao said leisurely. "I think it might be related to his idea of developing drugs and vaccines. Anyway, they are very interesting, and I want to join in the fun."
“But Your Majesty,” the man said, his face, etched with worry, “what will we do if you leave? What if you have an attack like today? They will notice. Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. Your Majesty, you shouldn’t risk your life for these people.”
Qin Zhao put Xiao Hui down and looked at the man, saying, "After I leave, you continue to guard H City. There are still supplies to spare. Do not leave the city to harm people unless you are desperate. As for me, you don't need to worry. I need blood, but I don't necessarily need the blood of living people. Today's attack was an accident."
Since he had already said that, he had clearly made up his mind. The man stopped trying to dissuade him and instead said respectfully, "I will obey your orders, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Qin Zhao nodded and walked outside. When he reached the balcony, he turned back to the man and said, "If they can really do what they say, perhaps one day we won't have to be bound by the virus anymore. Even for that, I will go with them and release those superhumans. If you have an attack, go catch some live animals nearby to suppress it temporarily. I will definitely come back in a year at most."
