Chapter 774: Slow Runner

Captain Zhu once placed his hopes on Wang Ge.

Wang Ge, Zhang Yiming, and the Bai Family were in an adversarial relationship, and he stood by Wang Ge, thinking that as long as Zhang Yiming fell, they could retrieve Xiao Song Zombie.

But Zhang Yiming was too powerful.

Every time they faced off, it was Wang Ge and his father’s failure.

The underground laboratory produced many strange inventions, capable of amplifying brainwaves and avoiding strong zombies’ brainwaves.

Yet, faced with absolute power, they dared not confront directly.

Captain Zhu still endured shame by staying beside Wang Ge, hoping to find a way to defeat Zhang Yiming.

Clearly, Captain Zhu’s choice was wrong.

Even if Wang Ge and his father discovered a way to defeat Zhang Yiming in the future, it was still a future matter.

Last night, many zombies died at the hands of their kind.

He didn’t know what happened last night, but he felt the powerful oppressive aura lingering on the remnants.

It was the flames left behind by Zhang Yiming.

The zombies did not resist; under the direction of Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves, they autonomously gouged out the crystal core.

Captain Zhu looked at those remains, as if seeing the future of Xiao Song Zombie.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

If during the waiting period, Xiao Song Zombie ended up like ordinary zombies, controlled by Zhang Yiming’s powerful brainwaves to gouge out the crystal core, regretting would be too late.

Wang Ge and his father were too sinister and deceitful, only knowing how to manifest their abilities, treating him, a Zombie King, as a plaything.

He didn’t desire the respect due, but it was still too humiliating.

From the beginning to the end, all he wanted was to snatch Xiao Song Zombie from Zhang Yiming.

Once, he also thought of using his power to bring the world to a certain peaceful state.

Once his strength was enhanced, he could control all zombies in the world, humans and zombies alike would listen to him, which counted as peace.

But now, he understood one truth.

No matter how hard he tried, his brainwaves would always be at this level, never surpassing Zhang Yiming.

Wang Ge and his father could invent things that strengthened brainwaves, but the truly successful and side-effect-free powerful device they wouldn’t offer him.

He was completely disillusioned.

He had a strong obsession but wasn’t foolish; he saw things clearly.

If that’s the case, let the world be as it is!

He’s tired, no longer wanting to safeguard the world’s peace, nor intent on destroying it, just wanting to take Xiao Song away, preventing his demise at the hands of kindred.

"Xiao Song already has consciousness; he can go wherever he wants, no one can decide for him."

Bai Xiqin, with a fruit candy in her mouth, eyes slightly shimmering.

If Captain Zhu could draw out the location of Wang Ge and his father’s underground laboratory, it would indeed be excellent.

Got to throw a few bombs in there anyway.

But, Captain Zhu wasn’t reliable as a human, and as a zombie, he couldn’t be completely trusted either.

In the apocalypse, friends weren’t entirely trustworthy, let alone Captain Zhu, a former enemy.

"Just bring him to me, he will definitely follow me."

Captain Zhu heard Bai Xiqin’s tone slightly relieving and quickly spoke.

Even reached out to tighten the glass bottle a bit.

"We’re going to Kunlun Mountain now; first talk to us about Kunlun Mountain, and after we return, we’ll bring Xiao Song Zombie to you, then you discuss Wang Ge and his father’s matters."

Bai Xiqin’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

No loss!

Captain Zhu blinked slightly, feeling a surge of violent emotion in his heart.

Wasn’t this playing him?

Empty-handed capturing the white wolf?

Captain Zhu’s fingers creaked, yet he found himself powerless.

Zhang Yiming was really terrifying, as powerful as the True God Research Institute was, it had no means to withstand him.

The Bai Family’s superpower was also strong, now combined with the Base Commander, Captain Zhu dared to appear before them only with the toxin that could suppress superpowers.

He seemed to have no other choice.

"There, historically, it has a very mysterious mythical aura; it’s said to be the place closest to heaven and the site of the ’Dragon Vein,’ so its status was crucial in various feudal dynasties."

"In fact, it truly is so. The supernatural fluctuations there are intense, especially during energy tide fluctuations, it’s the mountain that exerts the most power."

"The magnetic field there is very special, continually generating energy and spreading it worldwide; virtually all mountains have this capability, but that place is the most intense."

"The ancestors of Wang Ge and his father studied this phenomenon, all conclusions drawn from their research institute, there’s an energy explosion root beneath the mountain, but no one has ventured there."

Captain Zhu expressed what he had seen at the True God Research Institute without expression.

He lived quite humbly there, but his reconnaissance capability was excellent, as a human he had accomplished numerous achievements, being the fastest-solving Captain in the bureau.

With all precautions, he could still learn some things he wanted to know.

Having stayed there for so long, he knew the capabilities of Wang Ge and his father, given time, they might surpass Zhang Yiming.

But he couldn’t wait.

"You actually look quite pleasing as a zombie."

Bai Zhengxuan silently assessed Captain Zhu up and down.

The things Captain Zhu conveyed about Ancient Kunlun Mountain were quite consistent with his knowledge; the magnetic field there was indeed very unusual.

After the mutant rat outbreak, Captain Zhu became filled with hostility, and his words became untrustworthy.

Now, Bai Zhengxuan even felt Captain Zhu had become somewhat obedient.

Although he still appeared quite repulsive, at least he counted as a fairly presentable zombie.

Hearing Bai Zhengxuan’s remark, Captain Zhu’s mouth twisted slightly, carrying a bitter smile.

In the past, he wanted to protect this world by his method; destroying the world was also a method of protection.

The current him didn’t want to consider much anymore, just wished for flesh to devour and to find Xiao Song, so he wouldn’t die tragically like an ordinary zombie.

"So, can we leave now?"

Bai Yifan tilted his head, glancing at Captain Zhu with considerable sentiment.

Back then, when Captain Zhu led everyone escaping from the city, he seemed very safe and reliable, now... things have changed.

"Certainly, hopefully, you survive from there; otherwise, the subsequent cooperation won’t proceed."

Captain Zhu sidestepped, surrounded by high-rank zombies that also made way.

Captain Zhu had desired the Bai Family’s demise more than once or twice; this time, he genuinely wished for the Bai Family to have tough lives.

Captain Zhu suppressed the bloodthirsty violent factors in his brain, allowing the Bai Family to leave.

On the bus, Bai Yifan saw Captain Zhu’s sinister eyes through the rearview mirror, involuntarily twitching his face.

"Sis, you were quite bold just now. We didn’t even have Spiritual Spring Water, how could you still bring up the terms?"

Spiritual Spring Water can detoxify, but they didn’t have the water!

Orange candy couldn’t be quickly handed to everyone either.

"Don’t worry! Candy can temporarily ease the toxins, if push comes to shove, those who run slower can last a minute to let us drink Spiritual Spring Water!"

Bai Xiqin patted the shoulder of Bai Yifan who was driving, eyebrows arching.

"Those who run slower are responsible for exhausting Captain Zhu, allowing us to lie back and win!"

Liu Jing added a slice.

Bai Yifan: ...

Actually, he ran quite fast, just not faster than his own family.
