Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Peace Within Reach
Upon hearing Uncle Li’s description, Bai Xiqin felt slightly relieved.
The mutated panda was still free, clearly not captured by Wang Ge.
Its strength was well-known; even if Wang Ge tried to capture it for experimentation, it would take a lot of effort. The mutated panda definitely wouldn’t be taken away quietly.
... However, would the mutated panda near Shanghai be coming to find her?
There’s never enough bamboo for the mutated panda to plunder!
Thinking that the mutated panda might come to find her and that Wang Ge might target it, Bai Xiqin couldn’t sit still.
"Let’s go out for a walk!"
Bai Xiqin grabbed Leng Yebai’s hand and started walking outside.
Leng Yebai’s lips curved slightly, and he followed Bai Xiqin’s steps willingly, his fingers tightening just a bit.
Her white, slender fingers felt soft and boneless, like feathers gently gliding over the heart when held.
Even though they were together every day, Leng Yebai always felt that there wasn’t enough time.
Not enough time today, not enough time tomorrow.
Seeing Bai Xiqin in a hasty manner, Bai Yifan immediately guessed what his sister wanted to do, decisively choosing not to follow as a third wheel.
He could be a third wheel, but he really didn’t want to deal with the mutated panda.
It would lead to bankruptcy.
"Where did your sister go?"
Uncle Wang glanced at the back of Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Being young is so great!
"To rush towards getting her bamboo snatched!"
Bai Yifan replied.
Uncle Wang: ...
Nowadays, young people say things that he barely understands; is he getting old?
It shouldn’t be! He ate much more than Bai Yifan, only second to Xiao Niu, logically he shouldn’t be getting old!
Uncle Wang shook his head, stopped asking more, and quietly ate dumplings in his bowl.
On the other side.
After leaving the safety base, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai found an abandoned bicycle on the roadside to use as transportation.
This bicycle looked quite new, without any dust, indicating it had been used not long ago.
It even seemed to be of better quality than Leng Yebai’s only property — his bicycle.
Leng Yebai was riding the bicycle, with Bai Xiqin sitting on the seat, as the two rode aimlessly nearby.
It was very quiet.
There were no zombie roars, nor cries for help from human survivors.
Occasionally, insects or small animals would make sounds.
The entire city was immersed in a state of silence.
The ground was still stained with solidified black-brown blood, which turned into powder when crushed by the bicycle and flew away with the wind.
In the blink of an eye, those black-brown powders disappeared without a trace.
Bai Xiqin closed her eyes, and the invisible brainwaves surrounded the area, yet she felt no trace of angry, bloodthirsty brainwaves.
"There are none near the base; they’re all in that direction."
After advancing to the sixth rank, Leng Yebai naturally mastered brainwaves, as powerful and proficient as those controlled by the Zombie King.
He instantly surpassed Bai Xiqin in distance and degree of control over brainwaves.
Bai Xiqin didn’t perceive a single brainwave, whereas Leng Yebai could easily sense the presence of zombies.
"Let’s go take a look over there!"
Bai Xiqin didn’t know where the mutated panda was, so she figured that running around might lead to an encounter.
"Okay."
Leng Yebai nodded and quickly changed direction, continuing to cycle.
The request made by Xiao Niu was never refused by him.
The sound of bicycle tires friction against the ground, making a rustling noise.
Occasionally, a few survivors could be seen on the road, but no other activity was noticed.
For a moment, Bai Xiqin felt the apocalypse had ended.
No zombies, no mutant animals, and no zombie animals.
The remaining humans began slowly rebuilding homes, bringing everything back on track.
The black-brown blood left on the ground would gradually disappear over time.
And human civilization would once again flourish.
For two hours, they hadn’t encountered a single zombie nor were attacked by any.
Proceeding slowly in one direction by bike.
After two hours, Bai Xiqin sensed a series of brainwaves filled with extreme rage, excitement, and bloodthirsty madness.
Dense, almost twisting into a fierce storm, rampaging across the land.
Most humans couldn’t see these raging brainwaves, only the decay before them.
This was a desolate land on the outskirts of Shanghai, once a lush garden, now barren due to the falling Flood Dragon incident.
Numerous zombies came over to consume the flesh of the zombie Flood Dragon, leaving black blood and chunks everywhere I’ve been.
These black, rotting chunks corroded the green plants on the ground, turning what was once verdant into black soil.
A strong rotten odor enveloped the area, and Bai Xiqin looked at the ground, faintly seeing the mud stained by black blood.
Despite several heavy rains, the place hadn’t been washed clean.
It would take a very long time for nature to completely purify the decaying factors here.
Barren and filled with decay, human survivors would never set foot here.
The bicycle continued inward, finally spotting zombies with faces full of rotten flesh.
Their eyes were vacant as they stood still, unaffected by Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s presence.
Their rotting sockets didn’t move, staring blankly ahead.
As if they were actual corpses.
Without souls, without memories, without impulses.
"This is the first step, making survivors believe that cooperation is possible, as long as survivors don’t attack zombies, zombies won’t retaliate."
Leng Yebai spoke softly.
This information had been disseminated via radio, but most Superpower Users feared that high-rank zombies had hidden agendas. Unless desperate, they wouldn’t leave safety bases.
Therefore, despite the lack of zombies en route, few Superpower Users were seen.
Since the apocalypse erupted, today might be the closest to peace.
"Controlling so many zombies must be exhausting!"
Ordinary zombies can’t self-restrain their instincts; it’s impossible for them to do it without the inherent zombie control.
Only the commands of high-rank zombies can constrain their actions.
So many zombies standing silently as dead bodies, exposed to sun and wind, without reacting.
This is not just about directing a wave of zombie hordes, but controlling the zombies globally.
Zombies across the world halted their attacks on humans.
The source of this control was Zhang Yiming.
Xiao Ming has truly shouldered too much.
Even if it required zombie followers to control, his brainwaves had to encompass them.
Every controlled zombie would relay negative information back to high-rank zombies, and high-rank zombies eventually relay to the same Zombie Emperor, with Zhang Yiming ultimately coping with it all.
