Chapter 286: Meeting red-hair again
Red Hair…
Ye Zhongming was stunned. He couldn’t imagine that he would see Red Hair here.
Wasn’t it dead? Be it the soul pearl or his blood couldn’t save her.
But why was she still alive and had no mental connection with him?
Ye Zhongming recalled what he felt before he entered the dungeon. He only felt familiar, so he didn’t think about this. Now he realized that it was because of Red Hair.
There seemed to be some connection between them, but it also felt like there wasn’t any.
The current Red Hair was different from before.
Her red skin was previously rough and had a grey-white color, as if she was sick. Her eyes were blood red, and she looked tired. She gave off a dark and sunken aura, and her movement was stiff like a puppet/
But now, although her skin still had a pale grayish color, she was not very much different from an average person. Although her eyes had some blood, it wasn’t so dense. Her movement was fluid, and there was no hesitation at all. Her motion to bend her waist to get the potion was not stiff at all, and it was very natural.
Compared to when Ye Zhongming left, she was more like a human and not a puppet that was man-made.
She picked up the three-star potion and paused before looking towards Ye Zhongming.
Their gazes intersected, and there was an explosion. It was as if something had blown up, causing their eyes to turn white.
Many memories that didn’t belong to him appeared in his mind. Many of it was being chased in the darkness, and the other was fighting with someone. That person also had a strong mutated black cat.
Weird plants appeared in his mind. A soul that belonged to this plant roamed in this gray space. When needed, it would attack and listen to orders to fight.
Red Hair was stunned, and her expression stiffened up. New things appeared in her mind, too. These things weren’t memories, but they concerned her evolution, her getting stronger, and it was related to her lifespan!
Only when a hand was placed on her body did she wake up. She turned her head and saw that the Talking Lady had worked with her to get energy while also craving her head.
She turned around and left a deep gaze.
The mutated rat king was making sounds. Yangos was circling above, and its expression was less fierce than before.
The few level-four zombie kings also exchanged motions. One could tell that the three factions were discussing something.
That discussion became a fight when the Talking Lady and Red Hair returned to this group.
Talking Lady was a zombie, so she knew how the other zombies communicated. Her voice became more emotional, but they got in return was Yangos’s furious roar and the mutated rat king’s screams.
The three factions had calmed back down. The humans thought their plan would succeed, but because of the kings of the three factions, it failed.
The monster faction and mutated animal faction suddenly glared at the zombie faction. This caused the zombie horde to be uneasy. Some zombies and mutated animals even started fighting.
Talking Lady and Red Hair expressed something and also told the few level-four kings about what was happening. But they looked at each other and chose to be silent.
Yangos and the rat king made weird sounds. A level-three mutated zombie moved up from behind and swallowed that drop of blood.
A red light shone in its body, even brighter than when the wheel spun. This rat’s body had a huge change and was much more significant. Fangs grew in its mouth, and its tail became thicker and longer. Its grey fur became as sharp as needles.
The crystal on its head turned from black to green.
The mutated rat evolved to level four.
The mutated rat that obtained the power was a little stunned. The rat king slapped it and smacked it far away. Then, it stretched its tail and wrapped its neck to grab it near to it.
A fierce light flashed in this new level-four rat’s eyes, but it saw the killing intent from the king and curled up beneath its feet. Its sharp nose rubbed the king’s belly to make it happy.
Yangos roared, and the Rat King replied. The monsters and mutated animals retreated from the wheel and returned to their original positions. The standoff against the zombies was over.
The Rat King and Yangos had reached an agreement, but the agreement excluded the zombies. Talking Lady and Red Hair opposed, but the few zombies didn’t know why and allowed this situation to occur.
The few Zombie Kings ordered the zombies to return, and they entered the zombie horde, leaving Talking Lady and Red Hair alone.
But these two human-looking beings, whom Old Li thought were humans, didn’t have good facial expressions.
Red Hair glanced at the previous position, and its master was gone. She lowered her head, and her face was covered in her hair. She thought about it long before communicating with the Talking Lady.
………………
Ye Zhongming was a little distracted when he returned. Red Hair’s appearance changed what he knew about the apocalypse.
Seeing him return, Young Master Yun, Sha Sha, and Brother Bao came to ask about the operation. But what he told them was to wait.
Ye Zhongming sat down and thought about the problem. He searched for the connection, but it was intermittent.
He didn’t know why,
Thus, he decided to head out and prove it in his way.
Ye Zhongming spent half a day out and found someone on the verge of death. He found a quiet place and started to create a puppet.
He did think about creating one more, but the lack of level-two crystals delayed him. As his team and he improved, the zombies weren’t needed.
Blood Pond, level-two zombie crystal, and a person on the verge of dying…
Same as when he created Red Hair, this male zombie was slowly forming. After a while, the blood in the pool was absorbed, and this new iron zombie stepped out of the pond.
It stood before Ye Zhongming, and this zombie’s connection was clear.
“I… Hate… It.”
Ye Zhongming turned around, and Moon Edge shot out, pointing at the lifeform that got close to him.
