Tang Ye squeezed the hand on Chen Chaoyang’s throat harder, causing the latter’s face to flush red with an irresistible force pressing against his neck!
"Bro, calm down! Let me explain!"
In that moment, Chen Chaoyang felt the breath of death approach. He had never experienced such closeness to death before.
Now, Tang Ye was a Level 3 zombie. As far as anyone knew, there was no reported sighting of a Level 3 zombie anywhere in the world.
Many experts at the bases were spreading the news that zombies could only evolve up to Level 2 and there wouldn’t be another evolution after that!
Chen Chaoyang was wondering, if those bullshit experts saw Tang Ye, would they get slapped so hard their faces would echo with the impact?
Tang Ye’s grip loosened slightly. He hadn’t intended to kill Chen Chaoyang; this was only meant to serve as a warning.
"I really had... no choice. When I got back to the safe zone, Ning Yu’er was always at the command post. I wanted to deliver your message to her, but those stupid soldiers didn’t recognize me and wouldn’t let me in, no matter what I said! Later, when the hoard of zombies attacked, Ning Yu’er left before me. I couldn’t chase after her. I took the next transport."
"And then at Qinshan Base, Ning Yu’er’s dad didn’t care about my dad. I didn’t even know where she was staying. So we kept delaying and delaying. It was only yesterday that my dad told me Ning Yu’er and her dad left Qinshan Base."
"Cough cough... Bro, let me go. I didn’t do this on purpose!"
Tang Ye squinted his eyes, loosening his grip and releasing him, seemingly believing Chen Chaoyang’s words.
Chen Chaoyang coughed, inhaling air in large gulps as if trying to recover all the oxygen he had almost suffocated on just moments ago.
"Left? Where did she go?"
Tang Ye, staring at the gasping Chen Chaoyang, asked coldly.
"I’m not sure... cough cough, but my dad said she and her dad went to Yindan Base. I’m telling the absolute truth, bro!"
"Yindan Base... Yindan Base is the survivor base that was set up near Liang City!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye hung his head and fell silent. Soon afterwards, a wild and bloody thought uncontrollably rose in his mind!
"Yindan Base... Liang City, huh..."
"No, I have to see her. I must see her! If anyone tries to stop me, I’ll have to kill them!"
Tang Ye’s face twisted into a hideous expression. Since Ning Yu’er’s departure, her image, her smile, and her tender voice would occasionally flash through his mind! The words Little Mister echoed in his heart!
He wanted to hear it once more, even if it was the last time. He had no regrets. He didn’t know when he would see her again - a year, two years, or even countless years?
He couldn’t wait! When she was about to leave, she expressed a beautiful but absurd wish.
Tang Ye would help her accomplish it. Even though he hadn’t promised her out loud, he had already made a vow in his heart!
To fulfill her wish, he needed an overwhelmingly powerful and invincible strength. But getting stronger would take time, and whether it was one month, ten years, or even a hundred years, he just couldn’t wait!
He wanted to see her immediately, to see her face, to hear her voice again!
His base instincts kicked in after she left. Tang Ye initially thought that he and Ning Yu’er were just passersby in each other’s lives and they wouldn’t come across each other again. After all, how could a zombie and a human have any chemistry?
He thought he wouldn’t mind her, that she would only leave a platform in his heart that he could never return to. He wouldn’t cherish it or care about it. But in the end, he never expected her to leave such a sizable impression on his heart!
"Prepare to leave with me for Yindan Base!"
Upon hearing Tang Ye’s words, Chen Chaoyang was left dumbfounded, thinking: "A zombie, going to Yindan Base? Aren’t you afraid of being attacked?"
But then he realized that Tang Ye might already be a Level 3 zombie and even all the armed forces of Yindan Base might not be able to kill him.
If Su Sigui knew that his time travel had caused a butterfly effect, resulting in not only no improvements in the situation, but also resulting in his intended target prematurely becoming a Level 3 zombie, what would he think?
Chen Chaoyang wanted to reject Tang Ye, but he didn’t dare. He intended to fulfill his promise and then immediately return to Qinshan Base. But now he was being forced by Tang Ye to deal with other troublesome matters!
"Alright, bro, let’s go."
Chen Chaoyang had a thousand objections in his heart, but he still managed to force an uglier-than-tears smile on his face.
This damn creature is such a tyrant!
"There’s no rush," Tang Ye said.
Looking at his naked body, he needed to find some clothes to cover himself.
Leaving those two behind, Tang Ye leaped off the rooftop. The moment he jumped, the expression on Chen Chaoyang’s face became incredibly animated.
"This motherfucker is insane!" he cursed in his heart. This building was twenty-five stories high; jumping off and not being seriously injured would be strange. Even as a Level 3 zombie, Tang Ye couldn’t possibly be this invincible, right?
With such a high fall, Tang Ye must have seen what was coming. He wouldn’t try this kind of free fall. Tang Ye simply wanted to test his newly evolved tendrils!
His body plummeted towards the ground like a cannonball. Mid-air, the tendrils from the back of his neck all stretched out like a thousand arms of Guanyin, digging forcefully into the wall.
The firmness of the tendrils far exceeded Tang Ye’s expectations. The dozens of tendrils left deep scratches on the wall, suspending Tang Ye’s body in the air.
He initially wanted to release the tendrils one by one to test how many he needed to support his weight, but by accident, he discovered another function.
The length of these tendrils could be controlled just like the bone spurs and claws on his hand!
He lengthened his tendrils and began to descend slowly, releasing them one by one.
When he was nearing the ground, Tang Ye’s body was being held up by only one tendril. After his feet touched the ground, that tendril had stretched out to an astonishing fifty meters, and this was not even its limit!
After releasing this tendril, Tang Ye looked at the aimless horde of zombies before him and a devilish smile curled up on his lips.
Tang Ye slightly bent down and all his one hundred and twenty-four tendrils simultaneously stretched out, each piercing into the zombies in front of him.
"I’m sorry, even though you’re my kindred."
