This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, nobody expected that the king could still be alive after his head had been chopped off.
"Be careful of that body!"
"FUCK, deserves to be the final boss!"
The people from the Statue of Liberty shouted, anxiety inevitably evident on their faces. Near the end of the game, they all became nervous, worrying about any missteps. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Jie Susi urged, and while the king’s headless corpse was also moving, he thought that since the head chose to escape, it must have self-awareness, was the main body, and was therefore more important.
Everyone wanted to chase, but the headless body was ferocious. It leapt into the air, followed by an explosion from its chest.
A red and green mist instantly spread, obscuring everyone’s vision. A blonde female chasing John ran the fastest and thus became the target of the headless corpse.
Jie Susi was furious and had no choice but to divide the team into two parts, one to intercept the headless corpse, and the other to pursue the extra-headed John.
Hope we don’t get beaten to the punch.
Into the Empress’s chamber in the central palace, a maid stumbled in.
"Your Majesty, disaster has struck. The eldest prince has brought men to attack, Lord An Jinxi is dead, the king has turned into a zombie, and is fighting with those people!"
The young maid was terrified.
Leaning on a cushion, leisurely drinking tea, and dreaming of becoming empress, Zhao Chunyuan suddenly sat up straight: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The little maid kept nodding her head, very scared: "Will the... eldest prince kill us too?"
In the little maid’s deeply ingrained belief, with the king, father-in-law, Lord An all dead, the central palace empress completely lost the qualification to vie for the throne on behalf of her child in her womb.
As for Zhao Chunyuan becoming empress, she had never even considered it.
Hearing this, Zhao Chunyuan’s expression turned furious, she took the teacup and smashed it on the maid’s face: "Drag her out, off with her head!"
"Mercy, Your Majesty!"
The small maid pleaded.
Two eunuchs came in, but they also looked panicked.
Zhao Chunyuan shouted, and quickly, an elderly maid hurried in.
"Nanny, how are things?"
Zhao Chunyuan asked anxiously. This old maid was her wet nurse and had her complete trust.
"Lord An Jinxi is dead, Your Majesty, you probably can’t control the imperial guards anymore."
The old maid worried. If the eldest prince made a high call, surely some would defect, after all, he has the legitimate claim to the throne.
An Jinxi was truly incompetent.
Zhao Chunyuan’s face turned ugly, her fists clenched and then released, and finally, she gritted her teeth: "What I can’t have, nobody should have!"
After speaking, Zhao Chunyuan walked out!
The old maid followed with a dozen maids and eunuchs. After a while, she realized where Zhao Chunyuan was heading and suddenly understood her plan.
The royal palace, the dungeon.
The lighting was dim here, usually used to confine concubines who committed errors but not worthy of death. However, recently, it was full of zombies.
When Zhao Chunyuan opened the dungeon door, she hadn’t yet entered when a pungent odor hit her face, making her gag violently, nearly vomiting.
"Nanny, go and open the dungeon doors!"
Zhao Chunyuan suddenly didn’t want to go in anymore.
"Your Majesty, let me do that. Why don’t you go find a place to hide?"
The old maid understood Zhao Chunyuan’s plan.
To use the zombies to kill Li Mingzhe’s people, if their side was unfortunate, then everyone would perish together. But if luck was on their side, maybe they could survive until the end.
"Be careful, nanny!", Zhao Chunyuan still cherished her life, instructing two young eunuchs: "You two stay, listen to nanny’s arrangements!"
Zhao Chunyuan left, and the old maid braced the stench and entered the dungeon.
Because the dungeon imprisoned zombies for secrecy, no jailers were stationed. The old maid took keys from a wooden rack, ready to unlock the dungeon when suddenly, a young eunuch behind her struck with all his might, hitting her on the back of the head.
The old maid fell to the ground instantly, crying out in horror: "What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
"Not rebelling, but taking you to collect a reward!"
The old maid was Zhao Chunyuan’s loyal dog, willing to die with her, but this eunuch who struck wasn’t. He didn’t dare use the central hall empress as a token of defection, but he dared to kill the old maid and disrupt their plan.
Moreover, this old maid often exploited her position as the empress’s nanny. They had long wanted to take her down.
After the young eunuch spoke, he kicked towards the old maid’s head trying to get up, and in a few more blows, she passed out.
Imagining his rise to power, the young eunuch turned and was about to report in when he saw a monster with two heads entering the dungeon
The small eunuch immediately trembled with fear, collapsing to the ground.
The king had arrived, and like an eagle catching a chicken, he easily seized the two small eunuchs, followed by ferocious tearing and biting, devouring some flesh and blood before charging into the dungeon.
Those zombies held in the dungeon all howled, would have run out if not for the dungeon doors.
The king grabbed the chains with bare hands and tore them apart forcefully.
The zombies swarmed out instantly.
A eunuch cleaning the courtyard heard a dense series of footsteps, puzzled he looked up. After a few seconds, he suddenly saw a group of concubines covered in blood and filth, with disheveled hair, rushing in.
They snarled with bared teeth, like demons.
The eunuch was terrified, turned, and ran.
The entire court was in complete chaos, the number of zombies growing swiftly.
