I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1710 - 1704: Living Is Not Just for the Sake of Living

Chapter 1710: Chapter 1704: Living Is Not Just for the Sake of Living

The two who had just stopped their steps were blown away by the shockwave from the Destroyer’s explosion before they could make their next move. As they slammed to the ground, they felt as though all the bones in their bodies had been shattered!

"Brother Shi!"

Lying on the ground, Ghost Head reached out towards the dazzling flames ahead. They had promised to leave together, but in the next second, the person was gone. How could a mere Level 2 New Human like him withstand such an explosion?

His expression was somewhat dazed. At this moment, he realized how cruel reality was. After facing so many life-and-death trials and escaping each time, he wasn’t particularly panicked when he first saw the Zombie King. He thought they could escape safely as before. But looking at the figure completely engulfed in flames, he felt like he was dreaming. Brother Shi... was he dead?

Despairingly, there was no room for redemption at this point. All he could do was accept it, accept the fact of Brother Shi’s death! This also made him deeply feel how cruel reality was.

"I... Brother Shi... it can’t be real?"

He muttered a few words and began to feel his eyes burn with tears. Behind him, Wu Zhixiong struggled to stand up and stumbled towards him, shouting, "Stop looking, let’s go!"

"Brother Shi is dead!"

"I know. You will die here too! Let’s leave first!"

"I... I just..."

"You still have me! And him... Yong! The two of us are still alive. Don’t just stand there, run!"

Wu Zhixiong roared as he forcibly pulled Ghost Head to run. It was only then that the latter slowly reacted.

"Right, I still have you guys, it’ll be fine, Brother Shi surely can’t... we... we have to go first!"

Up ahead, Yong stopped in his tracks, his face showing a strange expression, as if he was torn about something. The other two were progressing too slowly, and after a few steps, Wu Zhixiong felt something missing. Looking down, he saw that his "Destroyer" was gone from his waist. The next moment, he turned his head and looked at Wu Zhixiong: "What are you doing?"

"We can’t run anymore..." Wu Zhixiong’s face suddenly became calm, causing Ghost Head’s heart to sink.

"Give it to me!"

"Get lost!"

"If anyone has to die, it should be me!"

"If you wanted to die, you should have done it earlier! Why say it now."

"Give it to me!"

Ghost Head roared, and Wu Zhixiong’s face suddenly turned fierce as he reached out to Ghost Head. The latter hurriedly tried to block, but was too slow. Wu Zhixiong grabbed his collar and instinctively, he struggled wildly, but Wu Zhixiong let out a low growl and, with all his might, hurled Ghost Head forward!

"If we’re dying, let’s die together!"

"Now is not the time for this. If we delay, we’ll both die. Nothing in this world comes without a price, doesn’t it? Go, take that list and get out alive."

"You..." Ghost Head wanted to rush to Wu Zhixiong, but just as he got up, a strong gust of wind knocked him back to the ground. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the flames behind Wu Zhixiong. In that instant, his heart raced, his mind went blank, and all he saw was darkness. This darkness was terrifying, invoking all sorts of negative emotions, and he couldn’t help but imagine what horrors might lurk within!

The survival instinct made him quickly close his eyes. Behind him, Wu Zhixiong was also blown to the ground by the fierce wind. A black shadow enveloped him, and he knew he had no more choices left. The "Destroyer" in his hand was almost useless, but he did not expect it to work wonders. He only sought that slim hope, even if it could delay the Zombie King by just 0.1 seconds...

His life had reached its end here, it was time to conclude. A tear fell from his eye as he gritted his teeth and activated the Destroyer. In the next instant, as the intense ripping sensation swept through his body, he hadn’t even had time to close his eyes before the whole world went dark, and the earth-shattering explosion echoed in Ghost Head’s ears. He let out an angry roar, but his voice was feeble against the explosion. Up ahead, Yong suddenly ran towards him, grabbed the straps of his backpack, and dragged him off madly.

"They... they died..."

Ghost Head muttered, and Yong glanced back at him: "They died to save you."

"Save me... Who asked them to..." Ghost Head was about to roar, but Yong interrupted him directly.

"They fulfilled their mission. What’s left has to be completed by you. Do you want them... to be disappointed?"

"Huh?"

Ghost Head’s face froze for a moment, then he suddenly remembered what Wu Zhixiong had said.

"Take that list and get out alive."

He muttered the words, and at that moment, he remembered the reason why he and Brother Shi returned to the Sanctuary City. Wasn’t it to prove themselves? To make their lives more than just mundane? He felt the strap of his backpack, and his dim eyes lit up again.

"Yes! I can’t let them be disappointed! I can’t let them die in vain! Yong, let’s get out together!"

Even now, Ghost Head still held onto a glimmer of hope. His countless brushes with death made him forget what the presence of the Zombie King represented. The road ahead was barren; how could they escape from a Zombie King?

"Hmm..."

Yong, like Ghost Head, had also lost a bit of his sanity, and he nodded, though his tone was somewhat strange.

"Let’s go!" Gradually, Ghost Head began to move his legs and run. But then, Yong asked a strange question.

"Are we really living just to live?"

"Huh?" Ghost Head was a bit confused, but the other didn’t give him time to think as he felt immense force from Yong’s hand.

"You..." He hadn’t even finished a word when he was thrown forward. In an instant, Yong’s clothes burst apart, his skin turned silver, and his height increased several times. His thick arms crossed together, and as he turned, massive black mist emanated from every inch of his skin, enveloping a large area!

Roar!

A terrifying zombie roar rang out. In the wind and sand, a shadow lightly stepped on him as the fully zombified Yong was knocked back as if hit by a train! He bounced away like a ball casually kicked, landing directly in the sand!

"Yong!"

Ghost Head struggled to get up, casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was about to run towards where Yong had fallen. But soon, his expression changed from anxious to dazed!
