I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1319 Not the Only One

Su Sigui sat in deep thought in the car for a while, unaware of how much time had passed. Their convoy had already stopped in front of the towering building of the legal and political hub, guarded by soldiers who watched them warily but didn’t dare to make a move.

At that moment, Su Sigui finally spoke, "I’ve heard that Ning Tianlang has a daughter who, about three or four months after the apocalypse began, passed through the city center as a mere ordinary person and walked over ten kilometers to a newly established safe zone south of Lin City. And during this time, Ning Yu’er didn’t receive a single injury. Alone, just an ordinary person, yet she made it safely through an entire city. Tell me, doesn’t it sound like Ning Yu’er was protected by something?"

After blurting out this strange piece of information, she didn’t give Tang Ye a chance to respond and immediately opened the car door and got out.

Tang Ye sat in the car, pondering the words she had just spoken, and for a moment, the car was silent.

After about ten seconds, Tang Ye murmured, "Was it a probe?"

Once those words escaped his lips, Tang Ye got out of the car and led a throng of zombies and humans grandly towards the building.

In his field of vision, the political and legal hub building pierced the clouds, a towering skyscraper at two hundred meters, spectacular and imposing. Nearby structures paled in comparison, reminiscent of the disparity between giants and dwarfs, forming a stark contrast with the more distant low, grey-black buildings.

Here, Tang Ye didn’t need anyone to guide him. His eyes could see deeply colored clusters in the upper stories of the skyscraper, colors so dense they almost turned black.

Tang Ye knew those were the hues of Level 8 New Humans. It seemed that this place was gathering no less than a hundred Level 8 Powerhouses, the very ones who had likely been watching his live broadcast the whole time.

With a different sensory perspective, the towering building of the political and legal hub seemed to Tang Ye like a person stripped naked, exposing every intricate detail, unable to escape his keen sight or hide anything.

Su Sigui initially wanted to lead the way, but seeing Tang Ye taking the lead as if knowing exactly where to go, her starry eyes flickered with a thoughtful expression, and then she followed behind Li Henian like an aide.

"Floor one hundred fifty-two."

Tang Ye didn’t think too much and directly found the elevator, estimated the floor where the cluster of colors were located, spoke to the people around him, and then pressed the button for floor one hundred fifty-two.

The others occupied the remaining seven elevators; workers either trying to exit or enter did not dare move and could only wait miserably for them to finish, silently mourning for those Level 8 New Humans above.

Su Sigui should have reminded Tang Ye that the group monitoring them was actually on the one hundred fiftieth floor—because only the one hundred fiftieth floor housed a conference room, the place where all meetings of Level 8 New Humans from Cloud Gorge Base took place.

However, she said nothing.

As the elevator ascended under Tang Ye’s control, it occasionally stopped on some floors, but those needing to use the elevator fled in fright when they saw the fierce-looking fighters from the Royal Court.

When the elevator ascended beyond the ninetieth floor, Su Sigui suddenly shouted the name "Li Henian." She wasn’t facing Tang Ye and looked at the elevator door as if speaking to herself.

"Hmm?" Tang Ye turned to respond to her.

"What is it?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it? I won’t answer if I don’t know, but I do like to save face."

"It’s not something very complicated."

"What is it?"

"What do you think is required to evolve to Level 9?"

"Evolving to Level 9 isn’t that hard, although I haven’t reached that stage myself. But I can tell you a quick method that will definitely help you evolve to Level 9!"

"What?" Su Sigui’s eyes lit up, urging him to continue.

"Hmm... It’s simple. Just imagine a color, a color we’ve never seen before, a nameless color. A color as vivid as red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. If you can visualize this color, you’ll be close to reaching Level 9!" Tang Ye spoke casually.

Following his words, no sound came from Su Sigui anymore. She fell silent, seemingly pondering over a question. But this did not last long; suddenly, she looked up at Tang Ye, her eyes shining so brightly that they seemed to illuminate everything, sprinkled with glittering stars.

Tang Ye looked at her curiously but soon averted his gaze, unsure why. The expression in Su Sigui’s eyes made him uneasy to hold her gaze. He saw a light, a soft light, a light called hope.

Was there something wrong with what he had just said? But it didn’t seem to have any issues.

Su Sigui’s gaze stayed on him, as if something about him made her unable to look away, making Tang Ye feel rather uncomfortable.

"What’s wrong?"

Tang Ye finally couldn’t take it anymore and blurted out, only for Su Sigui to shift her gaze away and speak softly.

"It’s nothing..."

She shook her head, appearing calm, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her inner turmoil. Her heart seemed to have been struck by a large stone, arousing layers of huge waves that left the usually calm waters turbulent and agitated for a long time.

Su Sigui no longer knew what she was thinking. Too many emotions!

Excited? Happy? Relieved? Or angry? Resentful? Furious at the lack of resistance?

All these thoughts surged in Su Sigui’s heart at that moment.

As to which one it specifically was, she couldn’t be sure. She only knew that in her previous life, in that ordinary world apart from Ning Tianlang, there was another Level 9 New Human. Across the world, Level 9 New Humans were not unique!

There were two Level 9 New Humans among humans.

One was Ning Tianlang, who vigorously developed agriculture and heavy industry for humanity, promoted advancement of freedom, continuously enhanced the defenses of Cloud Gorge Base, and built numerous human bases to accommodate more people. Yet such a great man died at the hands of the Zombie King when it arrived.

The other, he disregarded the future of humanity, watching like a spectator as scene after scene unfolded, watching humanity step by step toward destruction, indifferent, even acting to push humanity deeper into the abyss.
