Gu Cheng’s hands trembled slightly, realizing the youth knew about his secret.
Gu Cheng only managed to calm himself after a long time. He controlled the urge to take action, taking a deep breath.
The youth knew of his secret but did not expose him, accepting that it was not wrong.
After adjusting his state of mind, Gu Cheng opened the doors of the ancestral hall. It was pitch black inside, so he lit up a candle.
Not long later, a small figure darted over to him.
Gu Cheng’s face was filled with affection as he gently hugged the small figure. It was a two to three-year-old toddler, but clearly different from a human, as it had faint green skin with sharp fangs.
It was obviously a zombie.
“Xiao Ci, see what granddad got you. Your favorite crystals.” Gu Cheng’s voice was soft and gentle as he opened a bag full of crystal cores.
The small zombie’s eyes lit up as it grabbed a crystal and put it into its mouth, chanting, “Eat, eat.”
Crow-like sounds came out of the little zombie’s throat. It was muffled, but Gu Cheng could understand it very well.
“Granddaddy will not eat, Xiao Ci. Be good, all of this is for you.” Gu Cheng gently caressed the little zombie’s head, murmuring, “Xiao Ci ah, Granddaddy has finally taken revenge for you. After all these years, all those that hurt you have finally died. Are you happy? Because granddaddy isn’t. So what if they die? Even if they did, they can’t bring you back, ah.”
Gu Cheng’s voice was filled with pain. He would forever remember the day Xiao Ci lay in his embrace, cold and motionless and covered in blood. No matter how he called for her, she would not wake up.
The Xiao Ci who would tenderly call for him was gone.
He stealthily carried Xiao Ci back without anyone noticing. He felt that Xiao Ci becoming a zombie was fine; at least she could live in another way.
As expected, he became ecstatic when Xiao Ci became a zombie.
After feeding Xiao Ci crystal cores, she became more obedient and gained her own consciousness.
He had heard of the rumors of the zombie king after so many years. His aim to feed Xiao Ci was so that she would become a zombie king and live another life.
At the same time, he slowly plotted his revenge, finally succeeding after a long time.
But he did not expect Yang Jindi to discover Xiao Ci. He had thought of borrowing Qin Yi’s help to kill Yang Jindi. Who knew that she would stir trouble and die in the mouth of the mutated ants?
He could finally live with Xiao Ci in peace.
Qin Yi sat on the roof as she dangled her slender legs. The moon in the sky was shining bright as she listened to the crow-like sounds that the zombie made.
“Eat… Eat… Grand…”
Gu Cheng’s voice mingled along with the zombie’s.
There were many such instances in the apocalypse. The abnormally brutal world had toppled all general impressions of the human race. Humans became gods and killers. Everything came from the conviction deep in their hearts.
“Oh, Xiao Yiyi, where are we going next?” Feng Qingge asked, yawning gracefully as she leaned on Qin YI.
“I didn’t think of it yet. Do you guys want to go anywhere?” She looked at Ze Ning and the others.
Little Rice Ball held onto Huang Ying’s hand and looked at Qin Yi with his big eyes, “I want to go to Imperial Base and meet my idol.”
