Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Becoming More and More Like Humans
Regarding the cooperation between humans and zombies, many survivors are definitely uneasy.
The zombie instinct is difficult to control, and it is because of the control of high-tier zombies that they appear to be able to cooperate now.
No one can guarantee that high-tier zombies will always stand with humans.
As long as high-tier zombies break the agreement, the massive zombie horde will immediately relent and rush at the human survivors, devouring flesh and blood.
Even more powerful than ancient generals.
Zombies possess brain waves, allowing them to quickly transmit information, but humans don’t.
Humans’ reaction time will always be slower than zombies, and there’s no way they can establish a defense mechanism immediately.
If we’re able to truly establish two safety zones, it might really be a better choice.
This generation will live in one large safety zone, and what about the zombies?
Will they decompose, die, proliferate?
Even if one or two individual zombies can proliferate offspring, they won’t thrive like humans.
A hundred years from now, their children and grandchildren will not be as passive as they are now.
Let’s face it; the radio’s two pieces of information turned the survivors’ mood from apprehensive to hopeful.
Really wish for days without being chased by zombies!
"Tangtang doesn’t want to be separated from Sister Tu!"
Fan Tangtang pouted, angrily turned off the radio, and moved closer to Bai Xiqin.
"That’s something for later, we’ll talk about it then; now we can still meet, right?"
Bai Xiqin looked at Fan Tangtang’s innocent face, a flicker of reluctance in her eyes but nothing she could do.
If two safety zones can really be established as planned, the rise and fall of zombies and humans will be visible at a glance.
Humans will become more prosperous.
Zombies will grow weaker.
At first, regular zombies will be the first to lose "energy," their decaying bodies will start one day, stop moving, and rotten flesh will fall from their bones.
Then there are high-tier zombies, high-tier zombies possess consciousness and might absorb the crystal cores from regular zombies to maintain their vitality.
But still cannot escape the fate of decay.
They cannot withstand humans’ persistent life cycle, generation after generation.
And in the zombie safety zone, the one who lives the longest is surely the Zombie King.
The combat power of an isolated Zombie King at most is comparable to a powerful superpower user.
As the zombie side begins to disappear, humans will inevitably clear the zombie safety zone, and then only humans will remain on earth.
Both human and each Zombie King understand this outcome.
Therefore humans do not oppose cooperating now with zombies and dividing safety zones later.
And Zombie Kings, they only listen to the highest leader.
Zhang Yiming’s decision is their decision.
Even if this decision is wrong, leading them to extinction, they respect the decision.
Xiao Lan Zombie had no particular reaction to the content of the radio.
To her, it doesn’t matter.
She probably will never leave offspring; there’s no need to consider the next generation, death is just death.
Instead, she is happy for her family, at least their safety is guaranteed.
Even Zombie King Xiao Li and Zombie King Li Mucheng had no special reaction; even if they felt something was amiss, they completely accepted it.
They are Zhang Yiming’s most loyal zombie followers.
"Almost at the safety base, where are you getting off?"
Seeing the Yunhua Safety Base was approaching, the four Zombie Kings showed no intention to disembark. Bai Yifan naturally didn’t dare to drive the four Zombie Kings into the safety base.
Afraid of being killed by Gatekeeper Hong Yu.
Since the last wind incident, Hong Yu became even more dedicated to gatekeeping.
Not even a single zombie was allowed into the safety base; that was his maxim.
If any reckless zombie accidentally approached the safety base, Hong Yu would kill it.
Killing zombies barehandedly.
It wouldn’t be too much to call him a zombie killer.
If the four Zombie Kings are on the bus, Hong Yu would probably go berserk.
"Tangtang doesn’t want to get off, wants to be with sister, wasn’t it agreed to play together for a few days?"
Fan Tangtang reached out and held Bai Xiqin’s arm.
"Hide for a while, don’t make a sound, shouldn’t be discovered."
Bai Xiqin seeing the adorable Fan Tangtang, instantly made a decision contrary to safety base principles.
Since the base commander agreed to cooperate with zombies, it wouldn’t matter if she brought Fan Tangtang into the safety base!
"Then I want to go too!"
Xiao Lan Zombie seeing Bai Xiqin agree to let Fan Tangtang into the safety base, immediately spoke up.
She was evasive about entering the safety base.
She feared she couldn’t control her bloodthirsty impulse and might harm her family.
But with Fan Tangtang entering the safety base, something might happen unexpectedly; she wasn’t comfortable, deciding to enter together.
Moreover, with Xiao Xiqin present, she probably wouldn’t lose control.
Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai, and Leng Yebai slightly nodded, not opposing.
He was already a sixth-tier superpower user and because of his past experience turning into a zombie, he now possesses powerful brain waves.
Comparable to a Zombie King.
If these two Zombie Kings lose control, he is confident to manage the situation.
Furthermore, these two Zombie Kings’ self-control is quite good, looking normal when interacting with humans.
"Okay, but don’t leave my side!"
Bai Xiqin agreed by nodding.
"Yay!"
"So great!"
Xiao Lan Zombie and Fan Tangtang cheered simultaneously, looking particularly happy.
Smiles unconsciously hung on their faces, not deliberate fake smiles.
Their emotions increasingly resembled humans.
No one noticed this change.
The speeding bus drove smoothly down the road, no zombie dared to rush toward it.
Avoided from afar.
Screeee―
Shrill braking noise echoed, the blue-and-white bus suddenly stopped by the roadside.
It only stopped for five seconds, and the bus, like an ancient beast, quickly drove forward.
Leaving just two Zombie Kings standing in place, looking at each other.
"Where exactly went wrong? Why aren’t we allowed to go?"
Zombie King Li Mucheng silently glancing at the direction the bus departed, thought a while but couldn’t figure out why.
They could hold back from eating flesh, it wasn’t particularly difficult, just felt bad.
Why discriminate against them?
Seems bringing two zombies into the safety base is fine, but adding him and Xiao Li isn’t?
The different treatment is too apparent!
"Maybe because you’re not cute or good-looking."
Zombie King Xiao Li summarized.
Zombie King Li Mucheng: ...
Damn, back when he was human, he was the handsome guy of the area, a good student, quite appealing to girls.
How come in the Bai Family’s eyes, he isn’t as valued as Fan Tangtang, a little kid?
"Yeah, you’re good-looking!"
Zombie King Li Mucheng rolled his eyes at Zombie King Xiao Li, turned around and left.
Not walking with Zombie King Xiao Li anymore, he suspects because he was with him, he couldn’t enter the safety base.
Too many of them.
Adding two zombies is not doable; adding one is not too much or too few, maybe it’s possible.
"Of course, I’m good-looking; I used to attract a lot of beauties!"
Zombie King Xiao Li muttered to himself, pushing his glasses, and walked in the opposite direction of Li Mucheng.
