Chapter 635: Chapter 633 Assimilating Gong Xiao, Creating Yinxiang 1_1

"After they threw you down, you didn’t die. You killed them all, didn’t you? And you skinned the person you mentioned,"

Tang Ye continued, recalling what Gong Xiao had told him. Gong Xiao turned her back to him and dropped her hand. She pulled up the human skin on her leg to cover her body, but the skin was torn and ruined.

She nodded her head and said, "Yes, I didn’t die. I fell into a pile of rotting corpses, these bodies saved my life. I was fully conscious but I didn’t immediately get up. The people above watched me, wondering if I was really dead. I just stared at them! Stared at them until they were terrified! They started to fear and retreated, haha!"

Gong Xiao’s tone became increasingly excited, her young girl’s bell-like voice and hoarse sound switched back and forth. Even though she had her back to Tang Ye, he could imagine her twisted and insane countenance!

"I lay in that pile of corpses for many days, I was dazed for a long time. In that period, I saw Gong Ye’s corpse pass by me, he didn’t seem to see me, he just walked away. I learnt a lot from these people, I realized, zombies and humans are not the same species! I assumed that zombies could coexist with humans before, but...hehe."

"I counted zombies among my kind, and humans among my own. People said I’m the most cowardly zombie in the world, but how would they know, how much I wanted to fit in with them! I couldn’t eat human food and they didn’t want to waste food on me. The day I met Gong Ye, he gave me a piece of bread. Although it tasted bad and was hard to swallow, I thought that was the happiest day of my life, because I thought I had become a part of them."

"And speaking of birth, I’ve heard humans say, when they are born they are a small baby, raised by their parents until they grow to my size. But I don’t understand, when I was born, there were no such parents as they describe, nothing, just blank memory, hazy consciousness, but I had human language... just because, I am a zombie."

"It was only after I got up from that pile of corpses, that I found I was different, the smell from the surrounding bodies no longer repulsed me. I started to like these smells, because I understood, these rotten odors belong to zombies, and I, I’m a zombie! The other zombies are my true kind!"

"People say zombies are bloodthirsty, I didn’t believe that at first, until that moment, I did. I was so angry, I pictured over and over again, myself tearing everyone above to pieces! The feeling was exhilarating! More than that, I found that I had become stronger than before. In the words of those people, I had evolved into a Level 1 zombie!"

"My zombie instincts were unleashed the moment I stood up. I can command my true kind! On that night, when humans were shivering in the corners like mice, I summoned many of my kind into their dwelling, hehe~"

Gong Xiao laughed weirdly, her voice grew more excited, she continued, "That night, many of my kind entered the building, I heard many human screams, I also ate many people, I started to enjoy the terrified faces of these people! Their expressions excited me! Especially the head, hehe, his eyeballs were gouged out, I laughed at his inability to appreciate my beauty. I tortured him over and over until his body was torn to pieces, turned into a stupid zombie, there was also the most beautiful woman in the human’s eyes..."

She caressed the limb knife on her back: "My jealousy gave me this sharp knife, it’s like a blade, I am like a surgeon, carefully peeling off this woman’s skin, to become her..."

Crack!

Tang Ye suddenly stepped on a tile on the ground, interrupting her. He found a clean spot to sit down, his eyes hinting at an inexplicable light. He continued her story: "You became her, living with other survivors. You found that the survivors couldn’t resist your beauty. You melted into countless survivor groups, you got addicted, you can never get rid of the beautiful appearance, but the human skin you wore would always rot. You couldn’t accept your ugly appearance, so Chen Zhou’an and his brothers mistakenly thought you liked to eat the most beautiful women, in reality, you just liked to wear their skin."

"Hmm." Gong Xiao nodded, indicating that Tang Ye was right.

He gave a strange smile, with his evolution up to level 6 his brain processed quickly. From the skinned corpses on the scene and the Chen brothers’ account of meeting Bai Xinran a week before running into Gong Xiao, he could deduce a lot from the surprise on her face.

"Human skin will eventually rot, and you continue to change skins. However, you have certain standards for the skins you choose. You’re only interested in beautiful women. But in an apocalypse like this, to maintain beauty requires material support. Women who are cold and hungry do not care about their appearance. The newest skin here is at least half a year old, and your human skin is almost rotted too."

"Enough with the chitchat. I know you’re powerful. The Chen brothers called you Zombie King, hehe, what a nice title, Zombie King. Why don’t you kill me? After all, I won’t be living much longer."

Tang Ye shook his head, got up, and walked behind Gong Xiao. Bending over, he spoke in a devilish whisper.

"I’ve changed my mind. I won’t kill you. I want you to stay by my side, as a loyal subordinate."

Gong Xiao suddenly turned around, this time she didn’t cover her face, her pale, terrifying eyes met Tang Ye’s, which had somehow turned black and red, as dark as the abyss, as red as fresh blood! It was chilling.

"Your eyes... why are they different?" she asked, puzzled.

Tang Ye gave a smile, revealing his triangle-shaped, cold, sharp teeth.

"Oh, now you dare to let me see your face?"

Hearing this, Gong Xiao immediately turned her head back. Her face was indeed terrifying, with no lips, her brown-red gum line exposed. She had an oval face, iron-grey skin, blood vessels protruding out like a web. Her large, narrow eyes were eerie. She must have been a beauty when she was a human.

By human standards, she was not ugly among the zombies. But her appearance sent chills down people’s spines, the same feeling Tang Ye invoked.

The reason Gong Xiao considered herself ugly was that her aesthetic sensibility coincided with humans, she judged from a human perspective. But that’s not entirely true, it was just her own perception that she was ugly.
