Chapter 738: Chapter 734: Shouldn’t Have the Ability to Control Zombies_1

After loaning money to that man, Jin Liudong had been waiting for a long time to receive a repayment message, but as time went by, the interest on the loan compounded and the original sum of twelve thousand had skyrocketed to two hundred thousand!

Twelve thousand becoming two hundred thousand, a net profit of eighty thousand! How many envious eyes would this sum of money elicit in the homes of the poor? Two hundred thousand, to Jin Liudong, was a real windfall! How could such a mean-spirited person let this go?

Soon, he began to send people to demand repayment, but the family simply couldn’t afford to pay back the money. With every attempt, they failed to recover the money. As the country passed laws against illegal lending, he grew more and more uneasy. He wished he could immediately recoup all the money he had lent to his borrowers, interest included!

So, he employed all sorts of measures and tactics. The initial borrower who had borrowed twelve thousand from him was driven to such desperation that his mother was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building. His wife left him, and his high school-aged daughter turned to prostitution to earn money for repayment. The girl was arrested and changed significantly upon her release. She was no longer the caring daughter she once was. Due to her actions, the borrower lost his job, adding more misery to an already devastated family.

Despite driving the man to such despair, Jin Liudong had no intention of leaving him alone. He was constantly hounding him for repayment, using every technique at his disposal.

But who would have known, with the coming of the apocalypse, fortunes and circumstances change. The man who was driven to the brink of suicide not once but several times by Jin Liudong, became one of the seven major representatives of the United District - Longdong. Just like what Jin Liudong had done previously, after discovering that Jin Liudong was the man who ruined his family, Longdong had his eyes constantly trained on him!

If he ever managed to spare the time, Jin Liudong wouldn’t even dare dream of escaping - let alone committing suicide!

If all the members began to scramble for the Qinshan Base, and in the end, Representative Longdong discovered that Jin Wenyi was his son, the consequences would be...

"Do I really have to..."

A sorrowful look flashed across Jin Liudong’s eyes, but it soon hardened into a combative, die-hard gambler’s stare.

Seeing his own biological son die at the hands of someone else, even the hardened Jin Liudong would not be able to remain calm and indifferent. At the end of the day, he was still that slippery character who lived in the world before the apocalypse.

"In a moment, I will send someone to our old meeting place. You go there to give them some support. After a while, those guys from the United District will come to Qinshan Base. At that time, the Qinshan Base will be in complete chaos. If the Peace Party can withstand the attack, Wenyi should be safe."

When he said these words, his tone was a little uncertain. Although the Peace Party had two Level 6 New Humans on their side, it was clear he did not dare to assume that the Peace Party was guaranteed to win. Human technology and weapons were no easy feat either, and with the seven major representatives of the United District united, the odds of victory for the Peace Party didn’t seem as high as one would expect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Bieli over there frowned slightly, but quickly responded with a relieved laugh, "Really? That’s great!"

"Mmm," Jin Liudong gave a vague response.

After a bit of idle chatter, the two of them hung up the phone at the same time. The next second, a fierce killing intent flashed in Chen Bieli’s eyes. She rolled up her sleeves and quickly strode in a certain direction.

"The old place, huh? Fine, there’s no way you’ve been hiding in the fortress this whole time. Sometimes, the safest place is often the most dangerous... and about the Peace Party... I guess I’ll have to inconvenience you for a while." As if thinking about someone, a deeper murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

At that moment, she radiated a bone-chilling presence. Wherever she passed, the temperature around her dropped noticeably. Anyone who met her head-on would feel inexplicable fear despite her kind appearance. They couldn’t help but make way and keep their distance from this woman.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Li Songhua instructed everyone to allocate half of their forces to form a special army to combat zombies. After a few more aimless conversations with everyone, he abruptly ended the meeting.

After the meeting, Tang Ye didn’t go straight back to the Peace Party’s place. Instead, he climbed to the top floor of a building and squinted at the devastated city in the distance.

Regarding the zombie outbreak, Tang Ye had a general understanding of it. It should have been caused by a Water Guanyin living in the water. This type of zombie had a passive ability that could elicit several factors of intense hunger for flesh and blood in zombies. This hunger could enable zombies to pinpoint the exact location of living beings.

As a zombie himself, and also a high-end zombie, Tang Ye could faintly perceive the scattered zombie awareness in the air. He had encountered the Water Guanyin many times and was somewhat familiar with its consciousness.

He knew it was the Water Guanyin’s doing when the zombies in Hua City started to go wild. There was also a river in S Province, called the Meng River, which was a branch of the Qulong River. The outbreak of the zombies in Hua City could be due to a Water Guanyin’s migration from the Qulong River to the Meng River.

But as time went by, he realized the situation wasn’t that simple. He noticed that the energy affecting the zombies started to spread more and more, and it was increasingly unfamiliar to him - so much so that Tang Ye began to doubt whether this spreading consciousness was related to zombies at all.

The Water Guanyin’s consciousness seemed to influence the zombies within its range without any conscious direction, guiding the zombies to areas with large concentrations of living beings. But now, the purpose of this spreading consciousness seemed different, with an imperativeness to it that suggested it needed to reach somewhere!

In other words, at some point, someone or something other than the Water Guanyin began controlling the congregation of zombies.

Tang Ye’s eyes flickered. He thought of the words Dai Changhao said to him. Chen Chaoyang seemed to have turned into some sort of monster, and according to their descriptions, his eyes were amber-colored.

"Amber-colored eyes... don’t Restful Ones have amber-colored eyes?"

He recalled scenes from his fight with Su Sigui. In order to display stronger power, Su Sigui revealed the power of the Restful Ones, and at that moment, his eyes were amber-colored!

But not just Su Sigui was a Restful One, Yan Jie was also one. Although they didn’t have to worry about zombies tearing them apart, their essence was still human!

If a zombie ever tried to feast on a Restful One, it would discover that their flesh was just as delicious as that of regular humans!

In the end, Restful Ones were merely humans who possessed a scent of zombies. How could they possibly have the ability to control zombies?

Unless they became zombies and their body structure underwent radical changes, like Tang Ye had, allowing them to retain all memories of being human and becoming a flawless intelligent zombie, controlling zombies was impossible!

But the strange thing was, Chen Chaoyang was not a zombie, but a Restful One! He shouldn’t have the ability to control zombies!
