Chapter 27 The Truth

Li Chenzhou, already holding his handgun and aiming at Gao Lin, frowned as he looked into Gao Lin's bloodshot eyes. He didn't immediately pull the trigger.

Seeing Li Chenzhou hesitate, Gao Lin let out another roar, as if urging him on. Li Chenzhou still frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he still pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet struck Gao Lin squarely between the eyebrows. His body instantly stiffened, then he fell headfirst onto the female zombie king's corpse. The couple had finally left this world in the same form, as Gao Lin had wished.

Looking at the two bodies on the ground, Duan Lei and Gray Bear exchanged glances, then stepped forward together to Li Chenzhou's side. Duan Lei looked at the corpses, then up at Li Chenzhou, and asked,

"Boss! Their bodies..."

"Take them to that house! Then tear the house down!"

Li Chenzhou understood what Duan Lei meant. He looked up at Xiao Ya, still sleeping in Duan Xue's arms, and then around at their surroundings, before pointing to the house where the female zombie king had been hiding.

Duan Lei and Gray Bear bent down together, lifted the two corpses, stacked on top of each other, and carried them into the house.

Then, they came outside, picked up anything they could use as tools, and smashed and bashed until the small brick house was reduced to rubble, completely burying the bodies of Gao Lin and his wife.

Meanwhile, Li Chenzhou was searching all over the ramen shop.

There was definitely something wrong with this ramen shop. Li Chenzhou could barely explain the woman's ability to recognize her daughter and husband after turning into a zombie as maternal love, especially since the zombie king was an intelligent type.

But the fact that the zombie king knew there was a crystal core in her head and even committed suicide to leave it to her husband so he could absorb it and protect their daughter was a bit far-fetched.

Especially Gao Lin later. After he mutated, he didn't attack Li Chenzhou, but continued to hold his wife's body tightly, even urging Li Chenzhou to shoot with his roars...

Considering Xiao Ya's previous life as the Netherworld Zombie King, Li Chenzhou felt that this family must have something special about them. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for all three of them to retain some memories after becoming zombies.

However, this was just a ramen shop. Besides flour, meat, and vegetables, there were only various seasonings and pots and pans. Li Chenzhou had searched the kitchen thoroughly, but found nothing special.

"Boss! What are you looking for?"

When Duan Lei and Gray Bear finished demolishing the house and returned to the ramen shop, they saw Li Chenzhou still rummaging around, so they asked curiously.

"Nothing!"

Li Chenzhou straightened up, casually picking up some seasonings and saying,

"Just looking for something useful for later!"

Looking at the seasonings in Li Chenzhou's hand, a light flashed in Duan Lei's eyes, but he didn't continue to ask. He just looked at Xiao Ya, who was being carried by Duan Xue, who had followed them into the shop, and asked,

"Boss! This little girl, should we..."

"Let's take her with us! Xiao Xue can take care of her for now!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Xiao Ya, who was still sleeping, and answered.

Generally speaking, absorbing a crystal core is actually very fast, but for some reason, this little girl, Xiao Ya, is still sleeping. But thinking about her previous life as the Netherworld Zombie King, and the fact that she's so young, it's understandable that it might take longer.

Now, Li Chenzhou had already guessed how the Netherworld Zombie King from his previous life came to be. Although their appearance meant that the process from his previous life definitely couldn't be repeated, at least the events before should be the same.

In other words, Xiao Ya's mother would still be raped in turns and then mutated into a zombie king. And in the end, her father, Gao Lin, would also die for some reason. Finally, Xiao Ya would still absorb her mother's crystal core, and that's how she became the Netherworld Zombie King.

As for Xiao Ya's hatred of men, perhaps it was because Li Chenzhou and the others didn't appear in her previous life, and something else happened later that led to it. There was no way to guess that.

However, Li Chenzhou could confirm that Xiao Ya's ability should be the same as Duan Lei's, which was mental, and also control-based. As for why she was later called the Zombie King... perhaps Xiao Ya felt that, for her, zombies were safer than humans, so she preferred to be with zombies!

In this life, the Netherworld Zombie King wouldn't appear. After all, Xiao Ya was now with them, and with what her father had said before, at least Xiao Ya shouldn't be too resistant to them, especially... Xiao Ya from his previous life didn't emerge until four years after the apocalypse, and what she experienced during those four years could never be known.

With himself, Duan Lei, and Duan Xue taking care of her, Li Chenzhou was confident that he could nip the future Netherworld Zombie King in the bud. This title would no longer appear in this world. She would become a member of his team, and... her name would be Gao Ya!

"Let's go! We should continue!"

Stuffing the seasonings in his hand into Duan Xue's backpack, Li Chenzhou went to the front door of the ramen shop and looked outside, then turned to Gray Bear:

"We're very close to the hotel now. Do you want to go back and report?"

He was naturally referring to Leopard's matter.

"Forget it! If Leopard wants to, he'll go back!"

Gray Bear hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If he really doesn't plan to go back... I'll deal with it when I get back!"

Hearing Gray Bear's words, Li Chenzhou nodded, then took the lead in leaving the hotel. Duan Lei, Duan Xue, and Gray Bear immediately followed.

Before, they were three in the front, with Duan Lei and Duan Xue in the back, but now that one person was missing, it became Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei in the front, Duan Xue carrying Xiao Ya in the middle, and Gray Bear bringing up the rear.

Just as they left the ramen shop, a figure appeared outside the unit door where they had been before. It was Leopard, and on his shoulder, he was carrying the unconscious woman.

Leopard wanted to take the woman away, but the woman, who felt that she had caused the death of her husband and son and had been humiliated, didn't want to live anymore and frantically yelled at Leopard to get out.

This made Leopard quite angry. The person who harmed you, you politely invited in, but I want to save you, and you tell me to get out?

So, Leopard directly knocked her unconscious and carried her down. Perhaps Leopard didn't realize it at this time, but because of his previous guilt, plus Li Chenzhou's accusations and his disdainful remark that he wasn't even as good as Duan Lei, a persistent thought had arisen in his heart.

Li Chenzhou said he couldn't save people, so he must save them, even if the person didn't want to. Then he would knock you out and definitely take you away!

Looking at the ruined house, Leopard revealed a sneer. He had already seen the situation below from above, but he hadn't spoken up.

Moreover, in his opinion, Li Chenzhou and the others were completely hypocritical. You didn't save them when they were alive, but you only thought about burying them after they died. Too damn hypocritical.

"Huh? What's this?"

Just as Leopard entered the ramen shop, intending to settle the woman here and then search the residential complex for survivors, he suddenly saw something flashing in a cabinet in the kitchen, which Li Chenzhou had rummaged through. He immediately walked over and took it in his hand...
