Chapter 595: Chapter 296: Is This Kid So Arrogant Because He’s a Dragon Level?_1

Zhao Decheng was like a hound, staring intently at Li God Doctor, hardly daring to take a breath.

He was too nervous; if the King had truly become a zombie, a massive upheaval would occur in Goryeo.

Lee Taehyun and Dae Jang Geum looked panicked, their minds somewhat muddled, instinctively not wanting to hear a terrible answer.

Li God Doctor’s lips moved slightly, squeezing out three words: "The first generation!"

Ah!

Dae Jang Geum screamed, then covered her mouth. She looked fearful, glanced over people’s faces, and finally, her gaze settled on Lin Baici’s face.

In her subconscious, she felt that only this ambassador from the Heavenly Dynasty could resolve the great crisis Goryeo was currently facing.

"It was you who turned the King into a zombie, wasn’t it?"

Gu Qingqiu asked.

Now that things had come to this point, there was no need to hide anything. Li God Doctor nodded, "The King was gravely ill; if he died now, Prince Li Mingzhe would have to succeed to the throne, which the father-in-law found unacceptable; he wanted his own grandson to become the King!"

"The Queen was pregnant at the time, and in seven more months, she would give birth to the child. Hence, the father-in-law ordered me to ensure the King stayed alive for another seven months, no matter what it took!"

The father-in-law was greatly indebted to Li God Doctor, and besides, in the hearts of these ancient people, the emperor was Heaven, so Li God Doctor couldn’t refuse.

"So you turned him into a zombie?"

Gu Qingqiu knew that in Goryeo, the King’s principal wife was not called the Empress but the Queen.

"I still had seven months then, and I might have been able to cure the King!"

Li God Doctor muttered to himself.

"May I ask, how could they be sure the child the Queen would bear was definitely a boy?"

Hua Yue Yu was confused after hearing Kim Myungjin’s translation. If it were a girl, all their schemes would be in vain.

Girls couldn’t inherit the throne.

"Don’t worry, the child that the Queen will bear is definitely a boy!"

Gu Qingqiu chuckled, "Little Merperson underestimates how dark human nature can be. Are you saying that only the Great Song can pull off a bait-and-switch with the Crown Prince?"

"I can guarantee you that the Queen is somewhere outside the royal palace right now, clandestinely raising several pregnant women with due dates close to hers!"

Gu Qingqiu was curious about what the Prince was doing.

Surely he wasn’t just sitting around, waiting to die?

"Why did you run here? What happened with the zombies in your clinic?"

Zhao Decheng questioned.

"The King’s condition was worsening. One time, while I was treating him, the King bit my disciple to death!"

Li God Doctor really didn’t want to recall that experience: "The King was rotting daily, no longer resembling a human. The father-in-law’s patience was also running thin, and then, about half a month ago, he gave up on treating the King."

In reality, there was no curing him. The man was so decayed that the stench could be detected hundreds of meters away, and no amount of perfume could conceal it.

Li God Doctor, at a loss with his limited prowess, decided to go back to the Boar Guard village, where he first encountered zombies, in hope of finding a clue.

But who would have known that Shangqing Mansion was experiencing famine and an epidemic. Lee Taehyun, driven by extreme hunger, ended up cooking his disciple.

This disciple had been bitten by the King, and although he hadn’t turned into a zombie, the virus was present in his corpse. After those sick in Jijinxuan ate his flesh, they became infected, turning into second-generation zombies.

"What have you found out now?"

Zhao Decheng asked urgently.

Li God Doctor kept silent, his face a mixture of embarrassment and desolation.

"What’s the weakness of these zombies?"

Quan Sangin was anxious, "You must know this, right?"

"Destroying the zombies’ heads is the only way to kill them completely!"

Li God Doctor did not withhold information, "Also, low temperatures can slow down the movement of zombies, so if you want to survive, you should head north as much as possible."

Kim Jinsoo looked spirited, "Finally some good news!"

"There’s a mastermind behind the scenes who understands these zombies well and can manipulate them and bears a grudge against Goryeo. Do you know who it is?"

After recalling Lin Baici’s analysis, Kim Myungjin asked, "Could it be a survivor from this village?"

"It should be!"

Li God Doctor fell into recollection, "Years ago, a girl told me the use of the Weed of Life and Death. In return, I had to help her kill a military officer."

"I had no such power, so I told my good friend An Jinxi!"

Kim Myungjin immediately envisioned a tale of grievance; under the oppression of that military officer, the girl and her people were miserable, constantly bullied, until one day, all her people were killed. The girl didn’t want to lose her people, so she ’revived’ them with the Weed of Life and Death and kept them hidden here.

The girl was too poor, having only the Weed of Life and Death as her bargaining chip, so she sought out Li God Doctor, who understood its value, and sold it to him.

The Weed of Life and Death, if used correctly, was a powerful tool for usurping power and grabbing fame. Those high-ranking individuals couldn’t resist using it.

As expected, Li God Doctor and An Jinxi used it to triumph against overwhelming odds and repelled the Japanese pirates, earning a battle glorious enough to be recorded in the annals of Goryeo’s history, yet they made preparations beforehand to eliminate those zombies, preventing an outbreak.

The girl continued to wait until the opportunity arose once more.

This time, the one infected was the King. Thus, the girl, observing secretly, found her chance to add fuel to the fire, causing a pandemic, and ultimately engineered a tide of corpses.

"How did that girl know about the use of the Weed of Life and Death?"

Kim Myungjin was curious.

"She..."

Li God Doctor was quite cooperative, answering all queries, but this time, just as he began to speak, a shot rang out.
