Chapter 151 The Zombie King's Memories
The power ring exploded on the spot before it could finish transmitting the message, leaving not even ashes.
A black current twisted the space, and Lu Yize was the first to notice the fluctuation. With a wave of his hand, his silver-white supernatural power bit and devoured the black current.
The spatial vortex that had been gradually forming around Sheng Xue disappeared. Sheng Xue seemed to sense something and looked up to see the zombie king appearing in the moonlight with bloodshot eyes!
"Watch out! He's currently in an advanced state; his mind is collapsing, and he's completely lost his reason!"
Zhang Wenjing covered her head, still reeling from the shock of peeking into the zombie king's memories; her eyes and nostrils were bleeding from the high pressure.
Zhang Wenjing took the paper Fan Jian handed her and wiped away the blood that kept seeping out.
She stared intently at the zombie king hovering in the air. The memories she saw were only a tiny fraction of what was happening; the zombie's brain was currently experiencing a complex surge of memories.
The zombie king was gradually driven mad by the human memories that kept surfacing in his mind. He didn't know who he was, or who he was looking for. He didn't understand why his once lifeless heart was now throbbing with pain.
But he knew he had to find a healing-type ability user, capture them, and then… revive someone.
The zombie king stretched out its claws in the direction of Sheng Xue, and with a few spatial jumps, it landed on the car's windshield with a bang, smashing a deep dent into the window and spreading shattered glass.
"Holy crap..." Fan Jian shifted into reverse and backed up.
But the zombie king had already pierced the front window with his claws. Just as he was about to grab Shengxue, a small black hole formed near his arm, and the strong suction twisted and broke his arm.
Black blood splattered onto Sheng Xue's pure white dress, leaving gruesome marks. He seemed oblivious to the pain, his scarlet eyes bulging, and his twisted hand rotated back to its original position.
Seeing that the other party's claws were about to touch Sheng Xue again, Fan Jian immediately pressed his hand against the broken car window to freeze it, and the temperature inside the car dropped sharply.
But the next moment, the sound of ice cracking came, and high temperature emanated from the zombie's wrist, forming a burning fireball.
The ice melted under the intense heat, and Xian Wenrui's water sphere extinguished the flames. Steam rose in the air, and Fan Jian, freed, gratefully shouted, "Fatty!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Yize slashed a spatial blade at the front window, shattering the glass instantly. The zombie king, which was originally at the front window, was knocked back several meters.
Lu Yize disappeared from the car in the next instant and reappeared behind the Zombie King. He gathered his strength in his foot and kicked the zombie king to the ground.
The zombie king turned around in time, crossed his arms to resist the force, but was pushed back several meters when he landed, leaving a long trail on the ground.
Before he could even react, Lu Yize teleported again, his legs covered in supernatural power, and his knees slammed into the zombie king's abdomen. He twisted his hands backward, and the undulating spatial power swept past.
The zombie king's right elbow was also wrapped by a magical ability, blocking Lu Yize's leg attack, while at the same time he turned his head and used his left hand to resist Lu Yize's spatial ability.
The collision of the two supernatural powers caused the surrounding dust to spread outwards, and the ground cracked and sank due to the impact of the powers.
The giant deer stared at them but did not approach; instead, it found a place to sit and watch their fight.
Seeing that the zombie king was being held back by Lu Yize, Chen Mingzhang wanted to take the opportunity to join forces with Lu Yize to kill the zombie king!
Jiang Yuechi jumped out of the car window and approached the zombie king and Lu Yize. Suddenly, two supernatural powers approached, and the zombie king was restrained by three supernatural powers.
He stared intently at Jiang Yue, instantly piercing her with his supernatural power and then copying her. For a moment, he was in a daze. Then, a supernatural power suddenly erupted around the zombie king, whose consciousness was already in extreme chaos, and everyone present was swept up in it.
Lu Yize opened his eyes. In the pure black chaos, where was he?
"Within the Zombie King's sea of memories, you and I are merely bystanders in the form of spiritual entities."
A miniature giant deer slowly emerged from the darkness, its presence illuminating the landscape like moonlight and leaving ripples in its wake.
When it reached Lu Yize's side, the ground that had been shrouded in black aura gradually became visible. Jiang Yue and the others were all lying unconscious on the ground. Lu Yize bent down to check on Jiang Yue's condition.
"Don't worry."
As if to prove it, a bright moon appeared between its antlers. The moonlight shone on it, and the black aura that had been binding them fled. Chen Mingzhang, who was the highest-ranking, was the first to frown.
Lu Yize stared intently at Jiang Yue, who was trapped in a nightmare in his arms. "What happened to them?"
"It's just about being in sync with the Zombie King, feeling everything he went through, or rather, everyone else is just a spectator."
Its sound seemed to gradually recede into the distance, becoming increasingly ethereal. The black space trembled, and darkness enveloped everyone once again, bringing back a flood of chaotic memories.
The crude and ruthless low-level zombie had no consciousness, only the memory of repeatedly devouring flesh and blood. He remembered that one of the people he ate was particularly sweet.
His teeth pierced her blood vessels, biting into her neck. As he gnawed away at her flesh, he could still hear her voice. His prey seemed to say something, but... that didn't matter to the zombie.
The scalding blood gave him a moment of respite from his burning stomach, and the zombie let out a satisfied sigh.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he could feel a powerful surge of strength.
Cannibalism, cannibalism, cannibalism!
Driven by the instinct to be devoured, it relentlessly gnawed at her body and internal organs. At the moment it bit into her heart and gushed blood, the zombie felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
This food allowed him to overcome his limitations and become even stronger. Looking at the food, which consisted only of a head, he should have destroyed the head and consumed its brains, according to his previous methods.
However, after several attempts, he stopped in the same spot, feeling puzzled, confused, and even a little restless.
This is just a piece of incomplete food, just food that has begun to rot. He should eat it or throw it away, instead of hesitating like this.
The food gradually rotted, leaving only bones, but he still took the bones with him in the end.
He didn't know who the skeleton belonged to, but vague memories of her gradually surfaced in his mind.
As he ate more and more people, his strength increased time and time again. The images that appeared in his mind gradually invaded his brain, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic.
First he felt pain, then he developed a sense of taste, and then he began to breathe... The more people he ate, the more human-like he became.
He examined his own reflection, fleeting memories flashing through his mind, his head throbbing so badly it felt like it was splitting him apart.
who am I?
What am I?
Zombies? Humans? Or perhaps... monsters?
He was startled when he heard the familiar sound of a bell ringing behind him, and his body stiffened.
The girl in the floral dress turned her head and smiled at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter and sparkling with tiny lights. "Xie Hongyang, what are you doing squatting here all by yourself?"
