The skinny man still couldn’t believe that he had survived. What surprised him, even more, was that the little zombie girl had let him return to the base!
Now that he was back in the base, does that mean he can ensure his safety as long as he doesn’t leave the base and avoids encountering that eerie zombie?
He could simply avoid going around the city and go in the opposite direction. Or maybe he could find a job within the base and never leave.
He didn’t believe that the zombies could come looking for him inside the base before it got breached. Besides, if the base was breached, it wouldn’t matter if he lived or died since he wouldn’t have a place to stay anyway.
Upon returning to the base, the man made up his mind and nervously prepared to bide his time.
However, he didn’t expect that since the day he entered the base, he would hear the voice of “food, food, food…” in his dreams, the same as the voice that the little zombie girl transmitted to his mind that day.
At first, he thought it was just a dream, an illusion his fear had conjured. But as the headaches started every night, growing more severe each time, and the voice became clearer and more urgent, the man understood, this was not an illusion, not just a dream! The zombie was genuinely urging him on!
A peculiar zombie that could transmit sounds into his mind upon contact, a zombie girl that sent eerie mind messages to him every night, a terrifying zombie that could make people collapse with a single thought.
Maybe, once it lost its patience completely, it would truly make his head explode with a single intention…
As soon as he realized this, the man immediately gave up entirely. If he wasn’t afraid of death, he wouldn’t have betrayed other humans in such a way on that day to buy himself more time for survival.
And now, realizing that he couldn’t truly be safe even if he hid back in the base, he once again prepared to betray others in exchange for his chance to survive.
Currently, there weren’t many people in the base willing to go out, and those who went out with him last time still hadn’t returned.
Although he made excuses and claimed that he got separated from the others, if those people didn’t come back for a long time, everyone would naturally assume that something had happened to them and they had died. So the man couldn’t guarantee how many people he could deceive with his current plan.
Moreover, he was quite clever and knew very well that if every team he went out with ended up dead, suspicions would eventually arise after some time.
Therefore, he decided to choose another method, betraying other teams and occasionally causing accidents within his team.
Most people in the base would prepare for a few days and gather a group before going out. So the destinations and timings of certain teams going out could be easily found out by the majority of people.

The helicopters frequently patrolling the roads in the sky served as the best indicator. Perhaps the zombies couldn’t comprehend the purpose of such surveillance due to their lack of intelligence, but the man was a human, a human with normal intellect and rich life experience.
So, after learning the specific date of the martial law imposed in the base and incidentally finding out the times and targets of other teams of powered individuals entering the city, the man chose to go out with one of those teams.
He was surprised to discover that his desperate responses in his dreams, expressing his intention to go out and fear of being attacked by regular zombies, were received by the other team.
Thus, he fully accepted his fate and willingly became a spy for the zombies…
In reality, being a spy had its advantages. Once he left the base, he would be protected by the subordinates controlled by the zombie girl, shielding him from the roaming zombies.
Additionally, he would be rewarded after providing accurate information when the zombie troops attacked another team.
This was a completely abandoned city, a city devoid of humans. Here, as long as the zombies didn’t trouble you, you could obtain whatever you desired!
Abundant supplies for daily life, canned food that hadn’t expired, rice and flour, and even plenty of luxuries like cigarettes, alcohol, sweets, tea, and cosmetics beloved by women, could all be obtained!
It was conceivable that if he could return alive this time, the things he brought back would surely fetch a good price in the base!
The roaring sound of armored vehicles echoed from the far end of the road. It was the rumbling of the armored vehicles.
Walking on the road covered in thick, white snow was much easier than walking on the devastated roads after an earthquake. So the speed of the team’s progress was significantly faster than before.
Just as the base was passing through a section of the former T City outer ring road, and they thought it would be similar to the previous roads where some zombies would appear but the snow would significantly hinder their movement, suddenly, the vehicle at the forefront was violently overturned by the rapidly rising ground…
“All units, be alert, all units, be alert! Zombies! A large group of zombies attacking the convoy!”
The warning quickly resounded from the command vehicle, causing every member of the convoy to feel a tightening in their hearts, none of them expected to encounter a zombie ambush here, in this place, in the post-apocalyptic world!
The zombies suddenly rushed out from surrounding buildings! Those zombies smashing vehicle windows and pulling at the doors, how are they different from the legendary ones we heard about before?!
Are these the same creatures that were slow-moving and stiff, easily killed as long as you held heavy weapons and mastered special abilities?!
“Gather, gather! All vehicles, immediately converge with the closest vehicle…” Before the words could even finish, the voice from the command vehicle abruptly stopped and screams suddenly echoed from various vehicles.
As the man watched the astonishing artillery fire and the dazzling effects of the unleashed abilities not far away, he felt his mouth dry, his eyes bulging, and his heart pounding.
After observing for a while with unease, he began to feel a tingling sensation on his scalp and an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
“There, there! Great Zombie, have them block that direction. That vehicle is trying to rush back! And set up roadblocks, surround the convoy with more utility poles, or whatever. None of them will escape!”
The zombie little girl tilted her head and glanced at the man, then opened her mouth and emitted a sound that humans couldn’t hear.
Within the group of zombies besieging the convoy, a portion of them separated and dug fiercely from the surrounding snow, grabbing various debris that had fallen during the earthquake and throwing them around the convoy.
“Pull out those severely injured zombies! After all, they can still heal their wounds. Staying there would only hinder your movements!”
The man became more excited as he spoke. He felt a stronger sense of excitement when he realized that the zombie little girl was following his commands. He was commanding zombies! Directing a group of zombies to battle against the large force sent by the base!
This feeling, as if being on an actual battlefield, was something he couldn’t experience before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, because he didn’t possess outstanding abilities and only had improved physical strength, no one was willing to pay attention to him.
Even when he went out multiple times to gather supplies, he was always just a lackey. But now, he could command a group of zombies in battle! Fighting against those former superior and admired teams!
All the various experiences he had gone through after the apocalypse, the despair, and fear in the face of sudden zombification, the pain, and unwillingness brought by the life in the base that couldn’t continue, the looting and contempt from the stronger members of the team every time he entered the city to gather supplies, all of them now turned into a fire burning in his chest.
Here, he finally found a path to his survival! And finally, his heart, which had been immersed in despair and pain, found an outlet for release.
Here, he was the true king! Even the Zombie King would obey his commands!!
Those former companions, in his eyes, had all become nothing more than livestock, if he wanted someone dead, none could escape.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Wei Xuan stood in an open space in the residential area, his face looking grim as he gazed into the distance.
“So, is this an earthquake?”
Just moments ago, while in his room, he noticed abnormal vibrations in the boiling water on the induction cooker. Faintly, he seemed to hear distant loud noises as well.
When he saw the water shaking, he thought he was experiencing an earthquake again. Although he had no memory of this particular earthquake, he promptly ran out of the building with Du Hang, and they observed the situation in the open space.
There was a good area near the residential area where they could seek refuge from earthquakes and similar disasters, the area next to the residential area that had been devastated by a fire early in the apocalypse.
After the fire and the earthquake, the slightly taller buildings in that area had already collapsed, making it a relatively safe open space. In comparison, the residential area where he lived was not as secure.
However, after he thought it was an earthquake and left the building, he unexpectedly saw… thick smoke after waiting for a while.
The subtle vibrations didn’t seem strong, and Wei Xuan only felt a slight sensation initially, but he heard the faint explosions distinctly. Coupled with the faint smoke he observed…
Although earthquakes could cause explosions in certain areas, the current situation seemed more like a massive explosion somewhere that caused slight vibrations felt in the surroundings.
After waiting a while longer and confirming that he couldn’t sense any vibrations at all, Wei Xuan pulled Du Hang along and climbed up to the top floor of the nearest building. They stood on the roof, gazing into the distance.
At the end of the sky, amidst the white snow, in the clear and highly visible area, they could vaguely see a thick plume of smoke rising from the ground, reaching up to the azure sky.
“…That direction seems to be where the helicopters have been flying these days,” Wei Xuan muttered, his brows involuntarily furrowing.
Thank you for the chapters !
Wow, I want that guy gone…
+1
+1. He deserves an end equally brutal to his actions!
+2 he has the big head syndrome, but I wonder if the zombie princess will put up with it?
+4
+5 he’s a big headed coward
Betraying his fellow humans…wow. Thanks for the update ❤️
… It is always humanity that is worse than zombie huh.
So…when he and Du Hang were caught in his last life, do you think it may be because they found out someone fed intel to the zombies, and found his actions suspicious? Or that this guy led them to believe it was Wei Xuan?
I don’t think they were “caught” last time? I thought is was that Wei Xuan genuinely wanted to help humanity, so he told the base about he and Du Hang’s abilities but they were exploited? That’s why Wei Xuan always feels guilty that Du Hang ended up hurt because of him.
I think he mentioned earlier that he didn’t know who betrayed him/gave their identities and abilities to whichever base that was. The base decided hmmm they are special let’s study them naybe we can get the zombies to ignore us.
Not good, not good

Thanks for the chapter!
Well, now we know why the city bombing didn’t happen in his past life 😅
