Chapter 114 : Zombie Empire 28 (2/2)

“Boss.” Qing Yu went around Qian Li and had only just called out when Qian Li, who had just been sitting down, was suddenly standing in front of him. Qing Yu was speechless but still retreated a couple of steps silently. Qian Li didn’t like them getting too close to Boss.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Li was gone again and had went back to reciting his 《Three Character Classic》:

Spring and Summer,

Fall and Winter;

these four seasons,

repeat without end.

……

“What is it?” Shi Sheng raised her head and started keeping the material splayed out on the floor.

“Ah? Oh, oh right. B City is dealing with a zombie flood.” Qing Yu hurriedly spoke, “We’ve estimated they won’t be able to hold out. Some people have already begun evacuating.”

“Zombie flood?” ‘This is… a bit early!’

“Where are they coming from?”

Qing Yu’s expression turned peculiar. “From every direction.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘The hell do you mean “from every direction”?! If they were coming from every direction, how would the people in B City escape? Zombie animals have started coming into existence, and now that there are zombie birds patrolling the skies, helicopters are useless…’

Shi Sheng brought Qian Li to go watch B City being razed. She tamed a pack of zombie little bros on the way too.

“Nan. Hungry.” Qian Li suddenly grabbed Shi Sheng’s hand and shoved it into his mouth, refusing to move forward.

“All you know is to eat.” Shi Sheng glared at him.

Qian Li smiled genuinely as his tongue brushed against her fingertips. It felt cooling and soothing to the touch. That fifth stage zombie had already advanced to a sixth stage zombie. His skin had turned a light green now. For simplicity’s sake, Shi Sheng called him Little Fifth.

Little Fifth shuffled over to Shi Sheng. Qian Li wanted to kick him but Little Fifth dodge nimbly to Shi Sheng’s other side. Ever since he had tried Shi Sheng’s ability, Little Fifth wasn’t all that enthused about other foods. The only thing he did was get Shi Sheng to feed him every day. After Shi Sheng fed him, Little Fifth, now satisfied, went off to brag about it.

Zombies would communicate with each other too. They could brag and show rage, they could feel joy; they weren’t monsters that only knew how to eat. Seeing Little Fifth get chased around and hit by a group of zombies, Shi Sheng’s mood brightened up so she gave Qian Li more food than normal.

“Rarr rarr rarr!!!” Little Fifth suddenly ran back while flailing around and pointing at the back while snarling. The zombies at the back had also broke out into disorder.

She had brought only third stage zombies and above so their numbers weren’t too high; only around 20 or so. If they needed to fight, they could summon the surrounding zombies to fight for them. Shi Sheng looked at Qian Li in confusion.

Qian Li licked his lips. “It said, “There’s zombie there.””

‘What’s so surprising about a zombie? It’ll be even more surprising if bloody humans show up, okay? Wait… zombie? If it can make a bunch of third stage zombies upset then it shouldn’t be a normal one.’

“Seventh stage.” Qian Li spoke out two words.

‘Seventh stage… Little Fifth hasn’t even reached that stage after eating my ability so where did this one come from?’

“Rarr!” “Rarr!”

The zombies at the back started snarling and growling loudly before various abilities started firing. Since Shi Sheng was standing behind them, she could only see the place they were attacking but not their target.

Only when a few of the zombies toppled over did she see that it was a zombie with the appearance of a 7 to 8 year old. His skin wasn’t green but white; just like Qian Li looked when she first saw him. The baby zombie seemed to be an ice ability user and possessed a fast speed. When the baby zombie saw her, he charged straight for her. Shi Sheng frowned slightly and went to greet him with her sword.

A hint of excitement flashed in the baby zombie’s eyes and the icicles it sent forth became more numerous. When her sword struck the icicles, it caused the crisp sound of ice breaking but the rebound caused Shi Sheng’s hand to ache.

‘This fellow is really a seventh stage zombie?! Son of a bitch! That was at least twice as strong as a sixth stage zombie!!!’
