Chapter 656: Your Motorcycle Is Gone
In the following period, it was Bai Yifan unilaterally "preaching" to Zombie King Li Mucheng.
The central idea was—be a model zombie.
What else could Zombie King Li Mucheng do?
Zhang Yiming was right near him, and the brainwaves that could scare zombies made him unable to say a single word in retort, so he could only nod his head continuously.
He was afraid that if he nodded too slowly, he would die on the spot.
Completely without the majesty of a Zombie King.
"Okay. I get it. I won’t eat human flesh or drink blood anymore."
When Zombie King Li Mucheng said this, he was quite confident.
Because he felt like he wasn’t going to see the sun tomorrow.
The emperor would kill him after the Bai Family left.
If he behaved for one more minute, he’d live one more minute.
... At least it was a profit.
"Glad you understand, eating meat is not environmentally friendly, in the future just go vegetarian, like those spinach over there, they’re growing abundantly."
Bai Yifan pointed to some spinach planted by the roadside, a mischievous look on his face.
Zombie King Li Mucheng had humans eat spinach to replenish blood, and then he would drink human blood.
Why not just eat the spinach outright! It’s perfect!
"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you."
The once arrogant Zombie King Li Mucheng didn’t feel angry or ashamed at Bai Yifan’s words.
He was a zombie about to die, after all, and he didn’t need to worry much about what he’d eat in the future.
In eighteen years, he’d be a good zombie again!
"Cough, cough, alright! Sis, can we consider today’s task done?"
Bai Yifan coughed lightly, placed his hands on his hips, looking arrogant in front of Zombie King Li Mucheng.
He felt as if he was radiating a holy light, and the halo of a magical girl surrounded his whole body!
Zombie King Li Mucheng also cooperated well, bowing his head slightly, occasionally making a shiver or two.
Those in the know knew he feared Zhang Yiming, those who didn’t might think he’d been frightened by Bai Yifan!
"What about the survivors in the village?"
Bai Xiqin asked Zhang Yiming after all.
The last time, a lot of the captive survivors in the village were released by the Bai Family.
And now, it’s just been ten days or half a month, and the village once again had new survivors locked up.
"Those who want to leave, let them leave on their own, go anywhere." Zhang Yiming said warmly.
Most of the survivors here were captured, so if they were released, they would be happy.
Freedom is very important.
But, there were a few who willingly served as blood banks for zombies.
They coveted a comfortable life, not wanting to be like those ordinary people without superpowers, unable to fill their bellies, so they chose to sell their blood.
Such situations are not only in this village but occur worldwide.
Bai Xiqin had no right to interfere with these people’s choices.
Even if they were forced to leave Sheep Village, they would either come back or find the next "Sheep Village".
It was undignified, but they wanted to live more.
"That’s all we can do."
Bai Xiqin nodded slightly, not asking any more questions.
"But, I have one thing I want to ask you."
Bai Xiqin looked at the trembling Zombie King Li Mucheng.
At the same time, Zhang Yiming’s light gaze also fell on Zombie King Li Mucheng.
Zombie King Li Mucheng rubbed his hands nervously, feeling Zhang Yiming’s gaze, he didn’t even dare to breathe, afraid of being strangled by the fragrance from Bai Xiqin.
Zombie King Li Mucheng lowered his head and whispered, "Ask anything you want! I’ll tell you everything I know."
"Where did you get this item?"
Bai Xiqin took out a pearl that emitted a faint glow.
The large white pearl appeared smooth and warm under the sunlight.
It was one of the pearls Bai Zhengxuan had taken from Zombie King Li Mucheng’s house.
"This... I stumbled upon it in the sea."
Zombie King Li Mucheng’s pupils slightly contracted, as if suddenly recalling something that terrified him.
"Be more specific." Bai Xiqin continued, "Did you find it in a clam, or did you just pick it up?"
This pearl contained a very unique energy, not derived from the energy tide, making Bai Xiqin very intrigued by it.
"Oh, it’s nothing special, just found it in a clam while swimming, and kept it because it looked pretty. Those clams might have mutated, which is why the pearl is different from normal ones."
Zombie King Li Mucheng’s contracted pupils quickly returned to normal, with a faint smile on his face, looking somewhat sunny.
The previously ferocious aura of the Zombie King had completely vanished.
It was as if his mind had suddenly changed.
"Is that so?" Bai Xiqin furrowed her brows.
Was it really just that the clams mutated, thus producing such special pearls?
This pearl was too smooth, a freshly opened pearl without artificial polishing could never be so smooth.
"Hmm."
Zombie King Li Mucheng nodded vigorously, looking quite genuine.
"Alright then!"
Bai Xiqin put the pearl away, not getting the answer she wanted, she stopped asking questions.
She thought that perhaps she was overthinking.
Bai Xiqin didn’t notice that after Zombie King Li Mucheng finished speaking, his face was momentarily blank, his faint smile disappeared.
Replaced by infinite terror.
He took a secret glance at the seemingly harmless Zhang Yiming, swallowed a nonexistent gulp of saliva, and began to tremble nervously.
In an instant, the emperor could use brainwaves to quickly control his mind, dictate all his actions, and could even probe all his previous memories.
But that wasn’t the scariest part—after seeing his horrifying memories, the emperor had scarce any expression, remaining consistently calm and indifferent.
As if that powerful underwater world was just an ordinary place to him...
Leng Yebai, standing by, said nothing, but noticed Zombie King Li Mucheng’s demeanor.
Leng Yebai discreetly glanced at Zhang Yiming, but didn’t expose him.
"Then we should go back," Bai Xiqin said.
Bai Yifan had gotten some exercise, and there was no use staying longer, as all the zombies in the village were now on their side.
"Okay, I’ll see you off," Zhang Yiming said.
Zhang Yiming didn’t return to the safe base with Bai Xiqin; he needed to stay and handle matters in the village.
The villagers had not been released yet, and Zombie King Li Mucheng had not been dealt with.
Zhang Yiming escorted Bai Xiqin and the others to the village entrance.
The elder zombie father of Zombie King Li Mucheng, who was at the village entrance, was no longer there, possibly driven away by Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves, or wandering elsewhere.
Upon reaching the entrance where bikes and motorcycles were previously parked, only one bicycle remained.
Never mind Bai Yifan’s bag of snacks; even the water bottle hanging on the bike was gone.
The only consolation was that Bai Yifan’s skateboard wasn’t stolen, otherwise they’d have to run back.
His sister and brother-in-law could definitely do such a thing!
"Your motorcycle is gone!"
Leng Yebai slightly curled the corner of his mouth, calmly took out a key from his pocket, and unlocked the bicycle.
Thankfully, he was clever.
He locked the bicycle every time he went out.
It’s his only possession, after all!
Zhang Yiming: ...
Even if Leng Yebai hadn’t locked this crappy bike, no one would’ve stolen it anyway!
