Wen Qingling looked at Xiao Hen with a gaze reminiscent of a deceiving trickster trying to coax a child. “Do we still have trust between us?”

Xiao Hen’s gaze was deep and profound. “Do we still need ‘trust’ between us? Shouldn’t we be able to understand each other’s intentions at any time?”

Ji Rong: “…”

He Lin: “…”

Shi Chong: “…”

Damn it, killing the dog in public, how immoral!

He Lin turned around and left. He didn’t want to witness the scene or be involved in their private matters. It was wise to leave now.

Ji Rong wanted to figure out the reason for the leader’s return at this time. He didn’t want to leave and was carried away by He Lin and Shi Chong, each holding one of his arms. Couldn’t he see that the atmosphere between the two was just right? Didn’t he want to disturb them?

Wen Qingling stared at Xiao Hen for a while before saying, “I’ll accept the reward, but you’re not allowed to return to Central Giant City.”

Xiao Hen: “…”

Xiao Hen: “I might have to make another trip to Central Giant City.”

The reconnaissance aircraft that went to explore the border brought back bad news. The zombies from outside the border were relentlessly advancing toward Huaxia, flooding in like they had gone insane.

What’s even more terrifying is that these zombies are not afraid of deserts or rivers. No geographical barrier can stop their progress. Their target is clear: they want to enter Huaxia and head for Yunjing City.

The abnormal behavior of the zombies hasn’t gone unnoticed by other countries.

While Huaxia was conducting border reconnaissance, neighboring countries’ reconnaissance planes and fighter jets were also hovering in the air. They were obviously observing the situation. There were no conflicts between the Huaxia reconnaissance aircraft and those from neighboring countries. At a time like this, internal conflicts among humans were clearly insignificant. Nobody dared to imagine the number of zombies and undead creatures worldwide. If they were to take action, humans would have no chance of survival.

Now, all countries are closely monitoring the movements of the zombies. Their determination is strong, and it won’t be long before they come to investigate in person.

It’s too late to migrate now. The flood of zombies is pouring in from all directions toward Yunjing City. Central Giant City is already surrounded by a massive horde of zombies. No matter which direction they take, they will encounter the zombie horde. Unless they fly from the sky, no one can escape.

Central Giant City is extremely dangerous now. With so many zombies, Yunjing City can’t accommodate them all. The horde will spread outward from Central Giant City, and with the distance of just one Frostfeng City between them, it won’t be long before the swarming zombies reach Central Giant City. When the city falls, how many people will be able to survive and escape?

Wen Qingling said, “Since you still have to go there, why did you come back now?”

Xiao Hen paused. “To give you the crystal nuclei and… to see you.”

Wen Qingling stared at him with an unfriendly gaze. Xiao Hen was prepared for him to break a few more of his ribs. However, unexpectedly, Wen Qingling turned around and kicked the large wooden box, shattering it into pieces, and causing the crystal nuclei and beast crystals to roll all over the floor.

“As the esteemed Lord of Civilization City, the owner of antidotes, vaccines, and transformation agents, do you think I’m lacking in these few crystal nuclei? Do I need you to ‘see’ me? Would I cease to be Wen Qingling without this one look from you?”

Xiao Hen looked at a beast crystal rolling near his feet and said, “I know you need energy.”

Wen Qingling huffed angrily, “Yes, I do need energy, but I don’t need you to exchange your life for these things! As the protector of this city, why do my people have to be so humble? As long as I want, plenty of people would offer me a handful of crystal nuclei and beast crystals!”

Xiao Hen: “…”

Xiao Hen couldn’t refute it because it was the truth.

However, Xiao Hen felt that their conversation seemed to be off track. “Did you misunderstand something?”

“Misunderstand? Me, misunderstand?” Wen Qingling was infuriated, pacing in place before plucking a blue beast crystal from thin air and starting to gnaw on it.

Xiao Hen: “…”

The soldiers waiting under the helicopter: “…”

They stared dumbfoundedly!

They had never seen someone directly gnawing on a beast crystal before. This dentition, this digestion, this absorption ability… truly awe-inspiring!

Xiao Hen quickly reacted and moved to snatch the blue beast crystal, but Wen Qingling evaded him. While gnawing on the crystal, he glared at Xiao Hen fiercely, as if he was not gnawing at a beast crystal but at Xiao Hen himself.

Xiao Hen: “…”

Xiao Hen felt a chill running down his spine. He was so intimidating.

Xiao Hen dryly said, “These are truly your rewards, not my life’s worth…”

Wen Qingling pointed at Xiao Hen with the half-gnawed beast crystal, “Tell me, whose person are you?”

Xiao Hen’s heart raced, and he took a step forward, grasping Wen Qingling’s hand filled with crumbs. “Yours.”

Wen Qingling pulled his hand back and continued pointing at him, asking, “Whose life is it?”

Xiao Hen confidently replied, “Yours.”

Xiao Hen adored his arrogant appearance and reached out to pull the little zombie closer for a hug. However, the little zombie threw a blue beast crystal with bite marks at him.

The little zombie was still angry. “You are mine, and your life belongs to me. You have no right to decide your own life and death, and I also disagree with you sacrificing yourself for Central Giant City!”

Xiao Hen caught the thrown beast crystal and helplessly coaxed, “I really didn’t mean to sacrifice myself.”

Who the hell was spreading nonsense in front of the little zombie? When did he ever decide to sacrifice himself for Central Giant City?!

It was pure fabrication! Pure fabrication!

Wen Qingling said, “Then don’t go back to Central Giant City.”

Xiao Hen: “…”

Central Giant City was currently in chaos, and if he abandoned his mission halfway, would Old Xiao and Old Xue come to beat him up?

Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Qingling widened his eyes, resembling an angry little leopard. “If you’re worried about your father, I’ll personally go and bring him back. Let the others go die!”

Xiao Hen was almost swayed by Wen Qingling. After acquiring 2/3 of the zombie bloodline, Xiao Hen could clearly feel that he had become more cold-blooded than before. If he stayed in Civilization City, he would lean more toward the zombie side. Recently, staying in the human stronghold, his 1/3 human bloodline had become active again, making it impossible for him to stand idly by while Central Giant City fell into dire straits.

Just as he was almost convinced by Wen Qingling, his 1/3 human bloodline urgently held him back. If he truly turned a blind eye, Central Giant City would be truly finished. He had thought of many methods, but none could save Central Giant City. The only thing he could do was to save as many survivors as possible…

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wen Qingling’s gaze turned cold, and he bit his own arm.

Xiao Hen was startled and quickly tried to stop him, saying, “What are you doing? Don’t bite randomly…”

Wen Qingling raised his head, his eyes filled with indifference, and he firmly grasped the back of Xiao Hen’s neck, leaning in to kiss his lips…

Xiao Hen was initially surprised but quickly responded by tightly embracing Wen Qingling and returning the kiss. At that moment, Wen Qingling transferred a mouthful of blood from his mouth to Xiao Hen’s.

Caught off guard, Xiao Hen choked on the blood. “Qingling…”

Xiao Hen clutched his throat, feeling the familiar pain spreading throughout his body. He staggered, but Wen Qingling caught him before he fell.

Xiao Hen held him tightly, his lips stained with traces of Wen Qingling’s blood. The unbearable pain threatened to shatter his sanity.

“Why…” Xiao Hen managed to utter.

Wen Qingling’s gaze turned icy. “Your human bloodline is weak and troublesome. It’s time for you to undergo another mutation.”

This time, with a mouthful of blood, he would cause Xiao Hen to complete his transformation and not remain in this ambiguous state.

Xiao Hen’s pupils contracted, and the compassion he had maintained through his human bloodline seemed to be crushed by a demonic hand at that moment.

Xiao Hen was acutely aware of all his human emotions rapidly fading away. He was about to become a true zombie devoid of any emotions.

He didn’t want that. He was afraid.

He was afraid of losing the ability to love someone, afraid that he would no longer like the person before him…

Wen Qingling, who didn’t understand the concept of emotions, could easily strip away the cherished emotions that Xiao Hen had always treasured. He didn’t hesitate to deprive him of those emotions himself.

As the collapse and corruption spread from within his body to his skin, Xiao Hen had lost his sanity. With a roar of madness, he lunged toward the human soldiers, but Wen Qingling quickly restrained him and bound him tightly, rushing towards the research lab.

The waiting soldiers were all dumbfounded. They watched Colonel Xiao transform into a bloody monster, emitting a howl that resembled that of a zombie…

Everyone exchanged glances, their foreheads starting to sweat. They all thought of one possibility—Colonel Xiao had turned into a zombie?

This realization was too terrifying. How could a perfectly fine person suddenly turn into a bloodied zombie with just a single kiss?

Wen Qingling barged into the research lab, carrying Xiao Hen with him and exclaimed, “Stop all research and focus on him.”

Dr. Zhu, who was almost scared to death, asked, “What’s going on?!”

Wen Qingling replied, “I gave him a sip of my blood.”

Dr. Zhu: “…”

He nearly choked, feeling overwhelmed. He urgently pressed the button, calling for assistance. The research lab instantly descended into chaos.

While trying to save Xiao Hen, Dr. Zhu shouted, “Who is this person?”

He was unrecognizable, with no traces of his former self remaining.

Wen Qingling followed them and said, “Xiao Hen.”

Dr. Zhu abruptly stopped, “Research on Xiao Hen’s blood has yielded results. It has a decisive factor in preserving the abilities of civilized zombies. His blood is unique! How could you act so recklessly?!”

Dr. Zhu exploded with anger.

Wen Qingling remained calm. “Being unique serves no purpose when it can’t save him when the time comes.”

Dr. Zhu stomped his feet. “Why did you do this?!”

Wen Qingling replied, “I want to eliminate his human and ‘General’ bloodline. They’re holding him back. He’s too mediocre.”

Dr. Zhu: “…”

Dr. Zhu pulled his hair in frustration. “Just wait for him to explode and die!”

Wen Qingling confidently stated, “He won’t.”

Dr. Zhu scoffed, “What kind of poison is in your blood? Don’t you have any sense of caution?!”

Wen Qingling’s face turned cold. “Precisely because it’s my blood, I want it to mutate in the direction I desire.”

Dr. Zhu: “…”

The staff members: “…”

You’re amazing. You can even control the direction of mutation.

woooow… I hate Wen Qingling in this chapter :
