Chapter 773: Subordinates and Friends

"Xiao Song is doing quite well with Brother Zhang, getting smarter. If you want to find Xiao Song, why not go directly to Brother Zhang? Why come to us? Are you afraid?"

Bai Yifan rolled his eyes listlessly, showing no interest in the liquid in Captain Zhu’s hand.

He understood that the Spiritual Spring Water could detoxify.

As he spoke, he had already planned a route back to the bus in his mind.

He could dash to the bus in a matter of minutes and drink his fill of water.

When Captain Zhu heard Bai Yifan’s words, a flicker of fear passed through his eyes.

His fingers unconsciously touched the device at his temple.

His fingers couldn’t sense the existence of some device, yet he could feel his hand being obstructed by something.

It was the device that could evade Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves.

Yes, he was afraid.

He didn’t even have the courage to face Zhang Yiming directly.

He wasn’t sure if this device could hide from Zhang Yiming’s powerful brainwaves right under his nose, which was why he didn’t go to Zhang Yiming directly but instead came to find the Bai Family.

"No zombie can withstand those brainwaves." A look of fear flickered in Captain Zhu’s eyes before turning sinister once more, "Humans have their weak points, and so do zombies."

As powerful as Zhang Yiming was, he too had a weakness that could drag him into the abyss.

People said that the zombie virus made zombies much colder, that their emotions turned indifferent.

Yet little did they know, when a cold-blooded zombie harbors some intense emotion, they become more obsessive than humans.

Such beings find it even harder to forget the happiness they once had.

The awareness and perception of humans may fade over time, turning affectionate into indifferent.

After a human is infected by the zombie virus, their emotions fade, and they become bloodthirsty and violent.

However, some special zombies, although their emotions seem to have faded, are, in fact, much more intense.

When a zombie harbors fervent feelings in their heart, it becomes a ray of sunshine in their life, impossible to forget no matter what.

Even if their body decays, their heart stops beating, and even their blood turns black, it’s hard to forget that obsession.

So it was with Zhang Yiming, and the same for him too.

"If you have the guts, find him yourself. What kind of good zombie comes to us for no reason?"

Bai Yifan didn’t understand what Captain Zhu meant by "weak point," only that it sounded very ominous.

The physique of his family members was too good, always encountering Zombies Kings as soon as they went out!

Captain Zhu’s lips curled slightly into a sneer. He glanced at Bai Xiqin and said eerily, "I believe you can bring Xiao Song out of there."

"Xiao Song is making quick progress with Zhang Yiming, and may soon evolve into a Zombie King without any danger. Why insist on taking Xiao Song away?" Bai Xiqin frowned.

Initially, having Xiao Ming snatch the Xiao Song Zombie from Captain Zhu’s hands was due to Captain Zhu’s continual persecution of Superpower Users for feeding the Xiao Song Zombie.

He might even do crazier things for the Xiao Song Zombie’s evolution.

Now, the Xiao Song Zombie was no longer the ordinary zombie it once was, having gained a touch of self-awareness and a lot more nimble limbs.

Being beside Zhang Yiming and several other Zombie Kings like Fan Tangtang sped up its evolution significantly.

Being with Zhang Yiming was obviously a brighter future than with Captain Zhu.

"What do you know? Staying by that guy’s side, he will forever be a subordinate, used as a thug at any time, not knowing when he might end up dissected for his Crystal Core! He can’t stay there!"

Upon hearing Bai Yifan’s words, Captain Zhu suddenly became agitated, his face turning much more ferocious.

One hand was already poised above the glass bottle, ready to unscrew the cap and threaten the Bai Family into taking back Xiao Song Zombie from Zhang Yiming by force.

He knew very well.

Before Zhang Yiming, whether it was Xiao Song Zombie or himself, would become loyal servants under powerful brainwaves.

But he was unwilling.

He didn’t want to be a servant at someone’s mercy, nor did he want Xiao Song living in such an unstable environment.

By Zhang Yiming’s side, no matter how perfectly Xiao Song evolved, he would still just be a subordinate, transitioning from a cannon-fodder subordinate to a rather formidable one.

Forever just a subordinate, with one thought from Zhang Yiming, Xiao Song Zombie would unhesitatingly pierce his own Crystal Core and die.

That was absolutely unacceptable!

If Xiao Song Zombie were with him, regardless of how strong his brainwaves were, he would never consider Xiao Song Zombie a mere subordinate.

He was Xiao Song, a friend.

Not a little zombie henchman, not a cannon-fodder to be discarded anytime.

"We don’t even know where that guy lives, let alone bring Xiao Song back. You’ve sought help from the wrong people."

Leng Yebai took a tiny step forward, positioning himself in front of Bai Xiqin, his left hand slightly extended backward.

With great synchrony, Bai Xiqin raised his hand, and instantly, a small piece of candy appeared in Leng Yebai’s palm.

A faint orange aroma wafted through the air, exuding a fresh and elegant scent.

The noses of Superpower Users were very sensitive, and even Bai Yifan could smell the rich fruity candy scent.

These were candies Bai Zhengxuan made in his leisure time, using ingredients produced within the space.

For health reasons, Bai Zhengxuan also added some Chinese herbs, choosing herbs that weren’t bitter.

When Bai Xiqin encountered Captain Zhu using this kind of liquid to guard the Mutated Ant Queen, he thought of making something handy to detoxify.

Fruity candy, infused with Spiritual Spring Water, could temporarily resist toxins—not for long, but enough.

There wasn’t time to drink Spiritual Spring water for detoxification, but there was time to suck on candy.

Captain Zhu didn’t catch the orange aroma filling the air.

He could only smell the scent of flesh and blood.

"You mean to say you don’t want to cooperate anymore? Aren’t interested in the secrets of Ancient Kunlun Mountain either?"

Captain Zhu slowly twisted the glass bottle cap, his lips pressed into a thin line of danger.

He realized that even if he acted more cautiously, he was still threatening the Bai Family. Even if the Bai Family wasn’t harmed, Zhang Yiming wouldn’t let him go.

If the Bai Family didn’t comply obediently, he had no other choice.

Initially, he was contemplating a relatively peaceful way to bring Xiao Song Zombie over, as for the Bai Family, he wouldn’t kill them because Wang Ge wouldn’t let him off for that family.

Unexpectedly, the Bai Family refused to cooperate.

He couldn’t be blamed for what might happen then.

He took a deep breath, the rich scent of flesh and blood invaded his nostrils.

He was never particularly good at suppressing the urge to devour flesh, and now, smelling the intense aroma emanating from the Bai Family members, he could barely control himself.

Never had he encountered such a rich aroma from other humans.

His eyes lingered greedily over the Bai Family members, in his mind, wild ideas ran rampant.

If he secretly devoured the Bai Family, then killed all nearby zombies, even Zhang Yiming might not be able to trace it back to him!

A bloodthirsty impulse grew overwhelming in Captain Zhu’s mind, driving him to pounce at the Bai Family to bite them.

Yet suddenly, an image of a young man with a bright smile flashed in his mind.

No! Xiao Song hasn’t been retrieved yet!

Captain Zhu’s fingers tightened suddenly, refraining from unscrewing the cap, as his suppressed voice echoed again,

"Bringing Xiao Song out won’t affect anything, if you wish to know about Wang Ge’s situation, I can tell you about it, including the location of all his and his son’s underground research facilities."

The tone of Captain Zhu softened, showing some compromise.
