Chapter 566: Chapter 563 Handsome Boy～_1

Seeing the zombies retreating, Tang Ye stopped the activation of his high-level will and walked to the edge of the bridge. Once the unfamiliar will in this area was crushed, the tide of corpses below lost its direction, the zombies on his side were spinning around like a flock of headless flies.

"What on earth is that?"

Tang Ye was puzzled by the other force of will, or brain waves, in the air. Considering the successive outbreaks of zombie riots in the Three Cities in the Northeast Direction, this will could potentially be the cause of the uprising.

Tang Ye looked towards the northwest, among the faintly towering buildings in the distance, he spotted a shimmering light. It was a river, far away from him.

Tang Ye had no intention of going over to have a look. Who would link the source to a river when they know nothing about it?

But what worried Tang Ye the most was whether the zombie dragon would still obey him after evolving to Level 6. Technically, the zombie dragon was controlled by Xu Haishui. Although Xu claimed to be able to control zombies that were one level above him, Tang Ye still found his words untrustworthy.

Take the situation when he first encountered Xu for example. Xu couldn’t even control Ah Fu, let alone him. This gave Tang Ye reason to doubt whether Xu was just boasting.

Tang Ye could have directly left to find Qiongli and the others, but he feared the zombie dragon would become uncontrollable. If that were to happen, Tang Ye would have no choice but to kill it; the Evolution Crystal in its brain was a valuable asset.

This was something he certainly couldn’t let fall into the wrong hands. Of course, if the zombie dragon were still the same after its evolution, that would be even better.

However, as the level of the zombies increases, their intelligence grows. In the end, their self-awareness becomes stronger and human-like, and whether or not they ponder rebellion is something neither Tang Ye nor Xu Haishui can control.

Having a powerful subordinate is a good thing, but it’s better to not have one than to have one you can’t control!

To completely control the zombie dragon, extremities must be taken. If the zombie dragon behaves, everything is fine. But if it goes haywire, even exerting full power, Tang Ye would take a long time to suppress it. Compared to that, he might as well assimilate the creature directly into his ranks of silver-armoured zombies!

Only through assimilation can the factor of betrayal be reduced to zero. Because the silver-armored zombies that have been assimilated by oneself are 100% under one’s control!

There was a flicker in Tang Ye’s eyes. The zombie dragon, in its state of evolution, was rapidly growing in size. Due to its already massive form, if it were to be assimilated, it would have to be done bit by bit, consuming an exasperating amount of time!

Would Tang Ye be patient enough to assimilate the zombie dragon? Impossible. Previously, the assimilation of a Level 3 Spectral zombie was time-consuming and laborious, not to mention a Level 6 one. That would definitely take more than two months!

Tang Ye couldn’t afford to wait that long, devoting all his energy to assimilation. Even the zombies couldn’t stand this, not to mention the true gods, right?

This method was not feasible, so Tang Ye could only wait for the zombie dragon to wake up and see its condition. If it really had a sense of self and was unwilling to be controlled by humans, Tang Ye would have to integrate it into his other selves in the future and bring Ah Fu back to deal with it.

During Tang Ye’s wait, Qiongli and the others managed to salvage several motorcycles and rode them to the mentioned fuel station. They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the car could still be driven and that the area was safe.

"Park the car in the middle of the road first, just in case Li Henian was correct and zombies show up so we can escape quickly."

Qiongli directed this, took an unused water bottle from Ma Zhen, cleaned it briefly with some bottled water, poured all the water into the bottle, then went into the nearby grove to pick up a few branches, preparing to boil water.

Bai Xinran’s condition was worsening. For now, they couldn’t find medicine and could only boil some hot water to help her alleviate.

By this point, none of them had any trace of a smile on their faces. The feeling of being displaced and fleeing was awful. If it wasn’t for their dire destiny, no one would choose to live this damned life!

Among them, only Nannan was obliviously playing with her wand. Under Ma Zhen’s coaxing, she would burst into innocent giggles.

Bai Xinran looked around. One hand supported her body, while the other palm faced upward to catch a snowflake falling from the sky. The snowflakes were becoming bigger, signaling the approach of winter.

Due to her movement, the blanket slipped from her shoulders. Oddly enough, she realized that she wasn’t feeling cold. Her bright eyes reflected the slowly falling snowflakes.

She didn’t know what was going on. She remembered the biting cold that almost froze the blood in her body just moments ago.

Perhaps she no longer felt her own coldness. She left the blanket and walked into the falling snow. Seeing this, Qiongli, who was boiling water for her in the distance, quickly stood up and walked over to her, chiding, "Bai Xinran, what are you doing? You’re sick, yet you’re still behaving like this! Get back there immediately!"

Having said that, Qiongli pulled Bai Xinran back and covered her with the blanket again.

"Stay here, don’t move."

"Hmm~"

Knowing that Qiongli was looking out for her, Bai Xinran didn’t argue, merely gazing at the sky, her eyes filled with longing.

Seeing her like this made Qiongli’s heart ache. She took a towel, dampened it and began to wash Bai Xinran’s face. As the dirt was wiped off, Bai Xinran’s face became clear, which left Qiongli in a daze.

"You little girl, you are good looking~"

Qiongli showed a small smile, which Bai Xinran returned. Her beautiful eyebrows fluttered like moonlight blinking into the mist.

Ever since Qiongli first met Bai Xinran, her face had always been dirty and she never washed it. Over time, the accumulated dirt covered her natural appearance and Qiongli assumed Bai Xinran to be a dirty child.

When a person you know well suddenly changes their entire look for the better, the feeling of surprise is akin to having an ugly friend suddenly take off their makeup and turn into a stunning beauty.

Once all the dirt was cleaned off, Bai Xinran’s exquisite face was fully revealed. Qiongli held Bai Xinran’s face and studied it from left to right. Such a face would make any woman fall in love at first sight.

Plus she was so ill, which gave her a sort of morbid beauty. Lin Junhong, who was on patrol holding a gun a little distance away, heard Qiongli’s surprised voice, turned his head and took a glance. That glance was enough to make his heart flutter, and he blushed and turned his head back.

What no one knew or perhaps didn’t notice was a pair of white eyes looking at Qiongli and Bai Xinran from the grove where Qiongli had entered. As Qiongli cleaned Bai Xinran’s face, these sinister white eyes flashed an eerie light, followed by a chilling laughter, then disappeared into the darkness.

"Hehehe ~~"
