Cloud Raising Little Zombies: Chapter 29
ZOMBIE EMPEROR CULTIVATION
29. “Because we have a King.”
The helicopter crash-landed onto the rose vines.
The vine phoenix touched down and dispersed into a spread of rose vines.
Ye You stood at the entrance of the base, coldly watching as a team of ability users clambered out of the helicopter in a sorry state.
As soon as An Qing emerged from the helicopter, she eagerly rushed toward the boy who looked as beautiful as a flower spirit.
Her face was full of excitement, as if she didn’t care at all about being dragged down from such a high altitude.
The rose vines automatically parted before her, ensuring she didn’t step on any of the thorns or the vibrant flowers.
“Excuse me, are you an A-level plant-type ability user?” An Qing asked breathlessly.
Even though she was a B-level ability user, her physical fitness was poor, and she was out of breath after running just a hundred meters.
【Yes, yes, my Zai is an A-level… zombie king! Hahaha.】
【Zai Zai is so handsome. My screen is dirty, I’ll clean it right away by licking it.】
【Zai Zai is getting more and more handsome, my motherly love is about to turn.】
Ye You ignored her, merely glancing sideways at the enforcer behind her.
If it weren’t for the fact that all the B-level zombies were out doing pioneer work and the base gate was guarded by a useless C-level ability user, he wouldn’t have had to personally come when he sensed an intruder.
The wind-type enforcer shuddered, resisting the urge to flee and approached as if going to his death.
“Captain An, you need to re-register to enter the base now. Do you want to register?” The wind-type enforcer said, trembling as he opened his notebook and readied his pen.
“Re-register?” An Qing’s attention was diverted, and she looked at the enforcer in confusion. “Why are you shaking?”
“My clothes… I’m underdressed, it’s a bit cold.” The wind-type enforcer avoided looking in Ye You’s direction and kept his gaze firmly on An Qing.
“Cold?” An Qing looked up at the sky in bewilderment.
It was a September evening, and the sky was aflame with fiery clouds. Although the sun was about to set, the lingering heat was still baking the earth.
An Qing’s teammates arrived just then.
They were all familiar faces, and when they heard the wind-type enforcer claim it was cold, they couldn’t help but look at him with expressions that said, “This guy must be really sick.”
With the zombie king staring at him, the wind-type enforcer was almost ready to collapse.
Seeing these people still dawdling, he gritted his teeth in frustration and hurriedly said:
“Just tell me if you’re going to register or not! If you don’t register, the enforcement team will escort you out. Don’t block other people from entering the city!”
“What are you talking about? There’s no one else entering the city,” a few ability users laughed.
The wind-type enforcer looked at them with a deadpan expression.
The ability users gradually stopped laughing.
Behind them stood a row of zombies.
The zombies were all ordinary ones without abilities. Though the ability users instinctively wanted to attack, they could sense something was off and held back.
“Ge, Dage 1, you’re really playing like this?” one ability user asked in horror. “You’re letting zombies register to enter the city?”.
The enforcer smiled stiffly. “Of course, we’re serious.”
Wan Zhengqi finally spoke, a bit excited, “Does your base have an ability user who can control zombies?”
The enforcer was getting fed up with all the questions.
He took a deep breath to keep from collapsing and replied, “No, we don’t have any ability users who can control zombies.”
We only have a Zombie King.
“No ability user? Then how are you letting zombies into the city? Why are they obediently lining up, carrying bricks, and building houses?” Wan Zhengqi was incredulous.
“Because we have a king!” the enforcer shouted.
An Qing, who was standing closest to the enforcer, was startled by his sudden loud voice and glared at him with a look that said, “Why are you yelling so loud?”
The enforcer, under the pressure of the zombie king beside him, elevated his state of mind to its peak in that instant and solemnly declared:
“Under the king’s leadership, humans and zombies do not discriminate or reject each other. We insist on equality and unity, join hands to advance together, create a safe base, and build a harmonious homeland!”
Several ability users had puzzled expressions. It took them quite a while to extract the key words from this pile of seemingly profound words.
“King?” A few ability users exchanged glances, sensing that the situation was not simple.
“Yes, our tolerant and benevolent king,” the wind-type enforcer continued, sweeping his hand back and making a “please look” gesture, directing everyone’s attention to Ye You.
Ye You coldly returned the look. He was becoming somewhat impatient; if these ability users kept dawdling, he wouldn’t mind beating them up and tying them up to send them back to the newly built prison.
【Hahaha, I laughed a building off. Enforcer brother really has deep thoughts, quick, give him a “Model Enforcer” award.】
【I think Zai Zai has already figured out how to extract these people’s crystal nuclei. This enforcer is the first to be sacrificed.】
【Please note, the power bank will reach the battlefield in one second.】
“Ge!”
A shout, and Su Zi’an sprinted out of the base at wind-like speed. By the time the voice reached him, Su Zi’an had arrived beside Ye You.
“Ge, are you hurt?” Su Zi’an nervously examined Ye You from top to bottom.
“No, this part is up to you,” Ye You replied and turned to leave.
“Ge, slow down, I’ll be right there.”
As Su Zi’an spoke, he immediately turned his head to look at those who were preventing him from walking with his brother. His icy gaze swept over the ability users one by one. The ability users held their breath and dared not speak. They could all feel that this person’s energy field was very strong, far exceeding that of a B-level ability user.
It’s another A-level ability user! This base is unfathomable.
Finally, Su Zi’an’s gaze fell on the wind-type enforcer. In a cold tone, he asked, “What is it?”
Su Zi’an was now the head commander of the Enforcement Team. He was responsible for managing the Enforcement Team and all unattended matters within the base, busily spinning like a top. He hadn’t had a proper moment with his brother for twenty-five hours.
The enforcer sensed Su Zi’an’s displeasure and quickly introduced, “Commander, this is An Qing, a B-level plant-type ability user and a former member of the base. Their team previously took on a mission to pick up the special envoy from the Northern Base and have just returned.”
“Now that they’re back, they should register to enter the city. Why are they foolishly standing here?” Su Zi’an remarked.
The enforcer hesitated, stammering, “Well… they’re just really interested in the changes at the base and want to learn more about it.”
Su Zi’an glanced toward the base entrance, noticing that his brother had already disappeared from sight. His brother had slowed down, waiting for him as he left, but Su Zi’an had been held up for too long.
Feeling frustrated, Su Zi’an looked at the group of ability users and said, “Want to learn more, huh? Let me tell you about our base. First, we have our king—an A-level zombie king…”
Meanwhile, Ye You had arrived at the experimental fields inside the base. These fields were dedicated to cultivating mutant plants. Su Zi’an had hoped to find a plant that could produce crystal nuclei, much like fruit trees bear fruit. The research in these fields focused on developing plants capable of producing crystal nuclei.
In truth, any plant could condense a crystal nucleus as long as there was sufficient energy. Ye You was searching for a way to accelerate the condensation process. Increasing sunlight or fertilizing the plants, similar to human agricultural practices, had proven to be minimally effective.
Ye You decided to try channeling ability energy directly into the plants.
He walked over to a familiar rose vine. Extending his hand, he touched one of the blooming roses with his fingertips. He then channeled his internal ability energy into the rose. The rose blossomed even more vividly. Ye You controlled the energy, guiding it to condense within each rose. Soon, each rose bore a faint, invisible mist of energy.
Ye You used this method to infuse all the plants with his ability energy. He continued until the red moon rose in the sky, then finally stopped.
Just as he was about to leave the experimental fields, Ye You “saw” through his mental power a familiar crystal nucleus rapidly approaching. It was Su Zi’an.
“Ge! I just got some news—a zombie king has appeared at the Y City base!”
