Chapter 1181: Section 723: Meeting (1)_2

·But, I won.

Very simple words, but as for the quality of the answer, very good.

So Malin simply raised an eyebrow, two stone chairs rose from the ground, and Malin sat down, started eating snacks, while handing out a batch of snacks to the expectant kids.

The old zombie also sat down, somewhat dotingly stroking a little one, because the latter handed the snacks given by Malin to his elder.

Seniors and juniors have order, respect the old and love the young... these zombies are more like a human than some beasts in human disguise.

·When I was young, I had a human master.

Speaking of this, he pulled away the beast skin-wrapped left arm, revealing a mark representing slave identity.

·When I was very young, my clan was defeated by humans, I had a human master... she taught me to understand human language, also taught me knowledge, later, she said I was to be killed, so she let me escape.

At this point, the old zombie picked up another snack and put it in his mouth.

·She liked such snacks too.

Malin sighed: "You know, in that ancient building where you dwell, there is something we must acquire."

·But it has already become a massive birthroom, the matriarch of the clan and tens of thousands of cubs live in there.

"You can move, we must acquire there, there, we can rearrange the satellites."

·Satellite... What is that?

Hearing an unfamiliar term, the old zombie looked puzzled.

"You can consider it as glasses in the sky, we humans use it to detect enemies appearing from far away." Malin explained.

·Including... us?

Looking at the elder’s confusion, Malin nodded.

"Including you, and not just you, even those from Chaos too." Malin said, looking at the zombie, then sighed: "Humans’ enemies are not just you, compared to you, I feel those from Chaos are more like enemies."

·I don’t want to go to war with humans.

The old zombie shook his head and said.

Facing his answer, Malin finally confirmed his previous considerations: "The zombies attacking us before, were they a group in your tribe not under your command, right?"

·Yes, there are always children not raised by me, they hate humans, want to fight humans, but humans... have already become too powerful.

With this said, the old zombie also sighed like a human.

·Humans are no longer the food with resistance capability in zombies’ memory, but my compatriots don’t think so, they feel they can inundate everything with their power, but... ultimately, it was them who got inundated.

Malin nodded: "Your clarity is something I am very pleased with."

You see, the times have changed, such simple and clear truth, even zombies understand it, but the folks in the Northern Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom don’t know, those small countries are even more foolish, the final battle is almost upon them, and they are still punishing families by executing them for killing a rabbit because of hunger.

·I will go back and talk with the Matriarch, if possible, we can withdraw from the factory, but humans cannot attack us anymore, is this okay, can... you decide?

"I personally can agree to your request, but they are not my subordinates, I can bring someone who can decide, is this okay with you?"

·No problem.

Since the old man has no problem, Malin turned and gestured to Sage Yu: "Sage Yu, Corps Commander, please come over."

These two immediately came over, listened to the whispers of the old zombie, Sage Yu looked at the cubs surrounding Malin, continuing to divide the third bag of snacks, remained silent for a while, then nodded forcefully: "We can promise, as long as you can evacuate the factory, not destroy anything inside, we will not attack you, if you wish, you can also go to the City of Awakeners."

The name of Malin’s hometown has long been obliterated in history, except for Malin himself and Susu, no one knows what it was called, so upon hearing the name City of Awakeners, Malin felt a tinge of regret.

But none of this matters anymore, everything Malin was familiar with has long become history, given this, it’s better to forge ahead.

And the old zombie, after understanding the situation of the City of Awakeners, remained silent for a while, finally called out, the five children came in front of him, then quickly walked to Malin’s side again.

·Respected powerhouses, if that city can truly let us stand once again and rid ourselves of the curse... then we would be willing to go to that city, but I need to witness such change for my clan, so... take my children to have a look, if they can really speak, then I will do my utmost to persuade the Matriarch.

"No problem, Lord Malin, I think we can accept the old gentleman’s request." Sage Yu agreed.

Malin glanced at the Corps Commander, this middle-aged man also nodded: "If peace can be achieved without bloodshed, that would be the best outcome."

"Alright, I will take the children away, a week later, we will meet here again." Malin made the decision on the spot.

Lastly, Malin gave the old zombie several bags of snacks, after sending him off, Malin looked at the five little ones——they received orders, thus stood there, Malin checked their bones, found that although these children’s bones were filled with the overall structure of zombies like their parents, they had learned to stand from a young age, enabling them to stand and walk——although forcing them to walk like humans seemed a bit cruel, but... who could stand by watching their children crawl like beasts and remain indifferent?

With this thought, Malin decided to let these children follow him.

Along the way were astonished humans, but considering Malin was bringing these five cubs, no one took this ’invasion’ seriously, instead, more than once Gendarmes came over to ask Malin if he needed ropes and collars.

Of course, Malin didn’t need these, taking the five little things back to the rest area, Malin informed the Legendaries of their identities, everyone was astounded by the deal between Malin and zombies, but considering they really hadn’t seen zombies walking upright outside of a circus, and realizing these children understood human language, and knew to ask Malin for snacks, seeing their emaciated appearance, even the few Legendaries who previously had grievances no longer had any objections.

After all, what good does it do to be angry with children.

Lulu and Quyi had long seen zombies walking upright, they found it unsurprising, and even took the snack bag from Malin’s hand, feeding the little ones, while also confirming that the rather dirty hides covering their bodies were likely tough hides from Grass-Eating Dragons.

Grass-Eating Dragons are genetically engineered giant creatures, similar to long-necked dinosaurs, after the Great Devastation, these long-necked dinosaurs lived in the south, their skin is very thick, in times without guns, only Transcendents could hunt them.

This proves that there are already Transcendents among zombies, they can even hunt Grass-Eating Dragons, otherwise, how can these children’s coarse skins be explained?

With this discovery, everyone agreed on the possibility of resolving issues with zombies peacefully——after all, waging war costs lives, and it’s like the difference between fellow practitioners, when one dies, it might still be aesthetically pleasing, but if it accidentally falls to the latter, wouldn’t the fun be all gone.

After feeding the five kids a full meal, come afternoon, Malin took them back to the homeland, arranged for them to start listening to the old dean’s lectures, then told Shen Wansan to keep a good watch on these five children, and only then returned to the camp.

Because an initial agreement was reached with zombies, the action of logging the forest was suspended, soldiers began building fortifications on the spot——after all, idling around is still idling, and both Sage Yu and the Corps Commander felt, as the old man said, there were quite a few young opportunists in his tribe, and this time it was because the youngsters crashed into the wall and almost died, which is why he got permission from the Matriarch for this action, and the cubs used were his own grandchildren.

So whether these guys come or not is their business, and to avoid being ambushed, everyone felt that necessary defenses were still required.
