Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Dad Is Actually the Corpse King!
"Damn it, this idiot is unbelievably foolish!"
Upon hearing Ji Ruxue’s slightly threatening words, Zhao Lin felt a surge of anger.
"Clearly possessing such powerful strength, yet so indecisive, does this Invisible plan to live with their memories forever?!"
Zhao Lin cursed inwardly, not anticipating that her originally flawless plan would go off course due to her teammate’s indecision.
Previously at the police station, her colleagues often said she was too kind and naïve, and that she always hesitated in this apocalyptic world.
Yet, Zhao Lin couldn’t believe she’d encounter someone even more indecisive today...
"The end of the world has been here for so long, doesn’t this fool understand yet?!"
"Zombies are just zombies; they have no connection to the people they were before, even if they look identical, they are completely different entities!"
At this moment, Zhao Lin’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, wanting to kill Lu Chuan before her.
Among the zombies she’d been battling repeatedly, the one with the most ordinary appearance was the most intimidating.
The outstanding combat skills were so pressuring that even Zhao Lin, a police officer, struggled to handle it.
Despite having numerous opportunities to kill the opponent, her teammate was not up to the task.
With the Invisible continually obstructing in secret, Zhao Lin knew it was impossible to kill the zombie before her.
Helplessly, Zhao Lin chose not to fight these zombies anymore, but dashed towards building number five.
At least tonight she had to kill the Corpse King; otherwise, everything she did would be for naught.
Seeing Zhao Lin trying to reach building number five, Lu Chuan immediately brandished a knife to block her.
Building five was his final boundary, and Lu Chuan would never allow anyone else to enter.
However, just as Lu Chuan swung his knife in mid-air, that strange force descended again, restricting Lu Chuan’s body once more.
"Damn it! I’m definitely going to kill you all!"
"Stand still!"
"If you have the guts, set me free and let’s have a real fight!"
Roar!
Trapped and unable to move, Lu Chuan could only let out roars, his face twisting into a terrifying grimace.
Lu Chuan’s frightening roars made the surrounding zombies shiver uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Ji Ruxue’s Telekinesis was limited now and couldn’t hold for too long, and after briefly being released, Lu Chuan quickly caught up with Zhao Lin.
"I told you, no one is allowed to enter!"
With red eyes, Lu Chuan kept swinging his machete at Zhao Lin, and although Zhao Lin was almost at the door, she was forced to turn and defend.
Bam!
This time Lu Chuan’s attack was strong, and Zhao Lin failed to block it temporarily, being knocked straight back against the unit door.
Screech~
The old iron door emitted a teeth-chattering sound, and even the iron sheet on the door bent.
"Damn it! This zombie is really troublesome!"
Zhao Lin’s face turned pale; the enormous recoil made her insides quake.
But Zhao Lin ignored this, quickly reaching back to yank the door open.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from behind, and Zhao Lin instinctively dodged aside.
Only to see a steel knife flying past, slicing straight into the door, sparking metal upon impact.
Even the iron sheet on the door was shaved significantly by this knife.
"Damn it, are you done yet!"
Zhao Lin was at a loss for words, initially believing today’s plan to eliminate the Corpse King would go without a hitch, but hadn’t expected the invisible teammate to be so indecisive that she couldn’t even kill a zombie.
In the end, she was stuck outside the building, unable to proceed with her mission.
At this moment, she could fully relate to Lu Chuan’s earlier feeling.
Zhao Lin felt at a loss; fighting seemed pointless, as did not fighting.
Meant to kill zombies, but being restricted by a fellow human Evolver, she was almost furious enough to spit blood.
Bam bam bam!
Using this opportunity, Lu Chuan approached Zhao Lin directly; though unarmed, his well-honed combat skills kept him on par in the confrontation.
Unable to harm the opponent, Zhao Lin could only keep dodging, while Lu Chuan’s fists pounded the iron door, leaving one imprint after another.
In the distance, Ji Ruxue saw her zombie dad fighting so desperately and felt very confused.
"What’s up with dad today? I’ve seen him always laying low among the zombie hordes, why is he so fiercely fighting against Evolvers today?!"
Lu Chuan’s unusual behavior today left Ji Ruxue utterly puzzled.
"Is the Corpse King really in building number five?"
"I’ve been to every floor and room of building five, and besides supplies, there’s no sign of the Corpse King anywhere!"
"Could the zombies here be protecting the supplies my dad has gathered? Does that stuff even matter to zombies?!"
Ji Ruxue irritably ruffled her hair, unable to comprehend where her flawless plans had gone wrong.
"Did these zombies come here because the Corpse King senses danger and summoned them?"
"What exactly is inside building number five?"
"Could it possibly be for me?"
Wait...
"Protect me?!"
Ji Ruxue, deep in thought, suddenly froze.
Something occurred to her, and she quickly glanced at her zombie dad who was furiously trying to stop the policewoman.
At this moment, her zombie dad’s face was twisted into an incredibly gory visage that Ji Ruxue had never seen before.
Ji Ruxue was left staring blankly, her gaze somewhat dazed.
"So dad’s desperation, even willing to be hurt, isn’t to protect the Corpse King, but actually me on the seventh floor?"
"It’s not the Corpse King’s danger making dad angry, but the possibility of me being discovered?!"
"His unusual actions tonight were all because he didn’t want me to be harmed!"
Realizing all this, Ji Ruxue was filled with emotion; in her two lifetimes, no one had ever fought so fiercely for her.
"But if dad came to building five for me, why did the other zombies also come?"
"Could it be... dad can command their movements?!"
Ji Ruxue’s eyes widened suddenly.
If this were true, then it would explain why dad could gather supplies from an entire building while spending every day at home with her.
Even during zombie battles in the community, dad always hid somewhere close.
And when going out, dad mingled among other ordinary zombies.
If she didn’t recognize dad by his clothes, there’d be no way to distinguish him from other zombies...
All these signs could suggest only one possibility...
Could it be... dad really is the Corpse King?!
