“Do you really remember the names of those little admirers?” Song Yuantian pinched his cuffs, tugged at the cloth strips on his arms, and roughly wrapped them around the zombie queen’s wrist. “Do you think I don’t know about them? I asked around. You merely offered them assistance without taking any real action. It was just to provoke me.”
“What good does it do for you to make me angry, sister?”
“You want me to hate you? Well, I’m not afraid to tell you that I already hated you when you died in my place without even consulting me.”
“Why did you die for me?”
“Hongyue, let me tell you, I will never let you go in my life.” The zombie queen looked at Song Yuantian in disbelief. “You’re crazy, Song Yuantian.”
A hint of madness appeared in Song Yuantian’s light-colored pupils. “It’s not something that happened overnight.”
The zombie queen’s eyes flickered for a few seconds, and she finally surrendered in compromise. “Okay, I know I was wrong. Anyway, I’m already like this, so do whatever you want.”
Song Yuantian was momentarily stunned, unsure. “Really?”
He appeared dazed and bewildered.
The zombie queen let out a soft laugh. “Of course it’s true. I won’t lie to you this time. Let’s leave here first, alright, Tiantian?”
Song Yuantian blushed as he hurriedly stood up and helped the zombie queen. “Okay.”
As they walked away, a cold wind blew, and a bright light appeared before them.
Surprise flashed in Song Yuantian’s eyes, and he quickened his steps. “The exit is here. Let’s get out quickly.”
As the bright light drew closer, Song Yuantian felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind. He turned around instinctively and saw the zombie queen’s hand knife slash across his shoulder with precision.
In that moment, he collapsed to the ground.
Before darkness consumed him, Song Yuantian looked at the zombie queen and mustered his strength to say, “You lied to me again.”
Seeing Song Yuantian fall, the zombie queen quickly supported him and held him in her arms effortlessly.
She sighed softly, “I’m sorry, I lied to you again. If I didn’t do this, you would have followed me to your death. I didn’t want to see you die.”
With that, her body adorned with mysterious and alluring black totems swiftly left the cave. She maneuvered through the ruined city that the zombie king had built for her, and soon found Lin Jue and the others.
In fact, she had seen them the moment Song Yuantian found them and recognized them as his teammates.
When the zombie queen suddenly appeared, Lin Jue was taken aback, but quickly became alert upon seeing Song Yuantian in her arms.
The zombie queen casually halted and her captivating and elegant figure immediately drew everyone’s attention.
The zombie queen scrutinized Lin Jue and the others, her gaze lingering on Samael for a while.
Eventually, she handed Song Yuantian over to Lin Jue and said solemnly, “You must lead all the ability users and escape from here. You were all deceived. The zombie king has already formed some kind of alliance with the system. All the players sent into this doomsday world are mere nourishment for him.”
Her sudden words reached the ears of those present, and the systems in their minds issued a deafening alarm.
Lin Jue and the others turned pale, and their faces contorted in pain.

In the live broadcast room:
[Why did the screen suddenly go black?]
[Damn, what did the Zombie Queen say just now? There was a moment of silence, and I saw Lin Jue and the others’ expressions change. How about you?]
[I saw it too, but the sound suddenly disappeared. Damn, the system always glitches at critical moments. I hope this bug won’t persist until the end. I still want to see the finale. The relationship between the Zombie Queen and President Song is surprisingly good.]
[Hey, he was about to be stabbed to death, and you’re still joking around.]
[It’s dark now. I’ll go check the Shipwreck Livestream Room next door and come back later.]
[Goodbye, I’m going to eat something. I haven’t eaten since earlier. I’m starving.]
In the simple Hive Room, Li Cangshan stared blankly at the blacked-out screen in front of him.
Unfortunately, he could read lips.
And in just a moment, he knew what the zombie queen said.
The Zombie Queen paid no mind to the suddenly pale faces of the people but looked at Samael, who wore a black cloak. “You don’t belong to this world. Don’t ask me how I know. Since becoming a zombie, I have a natural, keen perception.”
“You should understand me, right? Anyway, although Song Yuantian hid the system tasks from me, I guessed that one of the task targets should be me. We were all deceived.”
“Follow me, and I’ll lead you out of here. We can talk while we walk.”
Despite feeling dizzy, the others quickly followed the zombie queen’s pace.
The Zombie Queen sprinted and spoke rapidly.
“Over fifty years ago, an island country on this planet salvaged a strange frozen creature from the deep sea. It resembled a human but was not. The country quickly concealed the news and kept the creature a secret for research purposes.”
“After thawing, the creature opened its eyes, but its body was weak. Scientists soon discovered that the creature’s gene chain was 99.9999% similar to humans. Moreover, each cell of this creature was an independent source of life, allowing it to survive without a heart or internal circulation. This meant its cells had no weaknesses and could even achieve immortality.”
“This discovery excited the scientists, who then locked up the creature and conducted a series of experiments on humans.”
“It was all a plot by the creature.”
“That creature was the Zombie King.”
“To this day, I still don’t know how it appeared on this planet. It seemed to have emerged as if conceived by the earth itself.”
“Over thirty years ago, Song Yuantian buried me under the glacier.”
“Not long after that, it resurrected me and turned me into a zombie, just like itself.”
“The truth is…”
“The Zombie King had memories even when it was frozen, but it was incredibly weak at that time, nothing more than a useless perpetual motion machine. It loathed the darkness that surrounded it and despised being sealed in ice. Every day, it yearned to escape.”
“Suddenly, one day, a being claiming to be a god appeared and promised to fulfill its wish. From that day on, humans discovered it, and players started appearing in this world…”
“Unbeknownst to the ignorant players, they had unwittingly become nourishment for the Zombie King, providing it with the nutrients it needed. With each experiment, the Zombie King absorbed energy from the players until it grew powerful enough to break free and escape.”
“And thus, the end began.”
“But the Zombie King’s greed intensified, and just as he was about to unleash his full power, the Zombie King’s brother appeared, capturing him and sealing him to the glacier, where they were both frozen.”
“Because of this, the zombie virus was not as severe during the first ten years.”
“Do you really remember the names of those little admirers?” Song Yuantian pinched his cuffs, tugged at the cloth strips on his arms, and roughly wrapped them around the zombie queen’s wrist. “Do you think I don’t know about them? I asked around. You merely offered them assistance without taking any real action. It was just to provoke me.”

The zombie queen’s eyes flickered for a few seconds, and she finally surrendered in compromise. “Okay, I know I was wrong. Anyway, I’m already like this, so do whatever you want.”
Song Yuantian was momentarily stunned, unsure. “Really?”
He appeared dazed and bewildered.
