I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1398 - 335: First Contact with the ’King’ (Part 2)
This attraction was unbearable for ordinary zombies. Just as they were about to charge at Lin Fan, the ordinary zombie standing in front of Lin Fan roared angrily, quickly spreading the command through the horde.
The zombies that had just become impulsive suddenly behaved obediently, standing still as if they had received some kind of command, even though the smell of flesh was truly tempting, they dared not move.
"Hello."
Lin Fan took the initiative to speak with the zombie in front of him.
The ordinary zombie’s grey eyes stared at Lin Fan, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be some emotional fluctuation, but it did not respond to Lin Fan’s words.
Lin Fan continued, "I know you’re controlling this zombie. Actually, we can have a good talk. There’s no need to act like we have a deep enmity. If you’re willing to trust me, can you tell me your location? I’m looking forward to communicating with you face-to-face."
He spoke these words sincerely.
Face-to-face communication is always the most sincere form of exchange.
Moreover, anything can be explained in person; there’s no need to make things so complicated.
"There’s no need," the controlled zombie said.
Its tone of speech was no different from that of a human, and if you didn’t look at its appearance, no one would believe a zombie could speak like this.
"Why would you think it’s unnecessary?" Lin Fan asked in return.
He was trying to engage with the opponent, hoping to uncover the identity and secrets through more dialogue.
"I don’t like you."
"Like or dislike is a kind of prejudice. We’ve only just met, and you say you don’t like me. I think there might be some kind of misunderstanding between us. I hope you’ll give me a chance to make you like me."
Seeing that the other party hadn’t released its control over the ordinary zombie, Lin Fan thought there was still a possibility for continued exchanges between them.
Hearing what Lin Fan said,
the controlled zombie remained silent, not responding to Lin Fan’s words, but continued to gaze silently at Lin Fan.
Since the other party was not good at communicating, Lin Fan took the initiative to speak again: "What are you planning to do by leading the zombie horde out of the city?"
"I won’t tell you," the controlled zombie said.
Lin Fan smiled, "I think you must be trying to do a good deed, right? You surely know that zombies staying in the city will damage the environment, so you’re doing this, correct? It’s popular to do good deeds without leaving a name, so you’re learning too, right?"
"You’re crazy," the controlled zombie said in a low voice.
Despite being insulted, Lin Fan was not angry and instead smiled, "Whether I’m crazy or not, we can actually meet in person to see. What do you think?"
After a moment,
the controlled zombie slowly said, "We will meet someday. If you want to know who I am, you can call me King. When I appear before you, you’ll feel my pressure."
"King? A very unfamiliar title. The most I’ve known is the Zombie Emperor," Lin Fan said.
"Unfamiliar? One day you won’t find my name unfamiliar. You just need to remember my title. I will surely grow into the strongest king. My strength is beyond your imagination, and my power is something you cannot withstand..."
The controlled zombie rambled on, becoming more excited as it spoke, raising its voice dramatically and pointing at Lin Fan, "Just you wait for me."
With those words,
the controlled zombie awoke instantly, returning to its senses, its grey eyes dull and devoid of sparkle, replaced by endless ferocity, a primal instinct that emerges at the sight of delicious flesh.
"It’s gone."
Lin Fan muttered to himself. Without the so-called ’King’ in control, the zombies in the horde went completely mad, rushing forward with ferocious expressions, charging at Lin Fan.
They were merely bloodthirsty creatures. Even though Lin Fan’s strength was terrifyingly powerful, to zombies devoid of reason, it didn’t matter how terrifying he was; devouring him was all that mattered.
Of course, there were still quite a few high-level zombies in the horde, such as the Fusion Zombie. These days, the Fusion Zombie really lacked stature. It was once so mighty, claiming invincibility at its peak unless the Creator appeared.
With combat capabilities through the roof, resilient and powerful, it was considered a super combat force in the Zombie World.
But now it’s truly pitiful.
The Creator hadn’t even revealed its true form, yet it was being controlled. Honestly, if Lin Fan saw this, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for it.
Upon regaining its senses, aside from a brief moment of shock, the Fusion Zombie quickly recovered and, upon realizing the situation around it, didn’t hesitate to turn and flee.
But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t outrun the blood-red lines that ensnared them, drawn in and consumed, and no amount of struggle made a difference.
For anyone, dealing with such a massive horde of zombies surely seemed impossible, but for Lin Fan, cleaning up this horde didn’t take much time.
In the blink of an eye, it could be resolved.
He didn’t care about the situation around him and instead analyzed the words the ’King’ had just said.
"Its intelligence is high, very vigilant."
"Just now, when it said it would surely grow into the strongest king, it meant it was still evolving and hadn’t become the ultimate existence."
Unfortunately, there was too little useful information.
The other party didn’t reveal much.
"The other party told me to wait, which means we will meet for sure. If I can’t find them, I can only wait."
Lin Fan shook his head and left immediately.
There’s still much to do.
But the sudden appearance of a so-called ’King’ made him a bit worried.
What if the other party is too powerful?
How awful would that be?
...
Southwest region.
"King, your actions just now were too risky," said the Lord of Deception regarding the exchange between King and Lin Fan, thinking it was inappropriate, the exposure far too quick.
It shouldn’t have let the other party know about the King’s existence.
"Do you think I lack confidence?" the slightly more grown King said in a deep voice.
"No, I never said the King lacks confidence."
The Lord of Deception revered ’King’ greatly and dared not express any defiance, but sometimes he felt the ’King’ was too young, always spouting unrealistic things.
What an unpleasant situation this is.
If Lin Fan were to find the ’King’ before it matured, things could really go wrong, and everything would be in vain.
Lv Xian, leaning silently against the corner, listened quietly to their conversation.
In the amusement park, he was shocked by the words of the Lord of Deception.
In ten days or half a month, you won’t even have the courage to meet the King’s gaze.
He really believed it at the time.
But now it seems this ’King’ really might be unreliable. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t expose themselves like this in such circumstances.
Isn’t this kind of behavior just adding danger to oneself?
However, as he witnessed, the situation with this ’King’ did indeed bring significant changes. Every day he faced it, he could feel the growing pressure the opponent exerted on him, genuinely rising.
The King half-closed its eyes; although it appeared overwhelmingly imposing, there was still a defiant stubbornness in its gaze, like that of a child unbroken by hardship. "If you know I have confidence, don’t doubt my decisions."
"Yes, my King."
The Lord of Deception responded respectfully.
Migrating a large horde of zombies can draw too much attention, but needing to cultivate powerful subordinates requires this zombie army. It seems they must proceed slowly, waiting for the optimal moment.
Lv Xian couldn’t help but ask, leaning against the wall, "What’s our main goal next?"
Before ’King’ could answer, the Lord of Deception stepped in, "Everything follows the King’s will. Whatever he does is right, and our goal is to follow the King’s plan, leading to a better future."
Lv Xian sighed slightly, at a loss for words.
The vision isn’t painted like this.
