Chapter 344 Serious

Su Mengli’s expression was serious as she said, “The situation is more serious than we imagined. This Warm Spring Town seems to have become a town of zombies completely!”

Ye Xuan clenched his fist and said, “Yes, how did they develop so quickly? How did we not notice anything before?”

Su Mengli thought for a moment and said, “It should be because the pressure from the East Sea was too great. The attention of the Awakened Ones was all focused on the East Sea’s mutated beasts. If it weren’t for you killing the Kunpeng King and severely injuring the Black Dragon King, perhaps the zombies in Warm Spring Town would still be hidden in the dark, quietly developing.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan sighed, “Yes, our China is truly facing internal and external troubles.”

Suddenly, Su Mengli asked, “Husband, what if one day humans need zombies to fight against mutated beasts? What would that scenario look like?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan also envisioned a terrifying scene. If humans really needed zombies to fight against mutated beasts, it would probably not be much better than being wiped out by the beasts. At that time, humans would be in constant fear, trying to find ways to avoid being eaten by zombies, ensuring their survival along with their families.

Some might even strive to become superior among the zombie clan, sucking human blood to prolong their lives and gain more power. With this development, theoretically, zombies would increase while humans decrease. Humans, being the food source, would struggle to resist, leading to conflicts among zombies for food, plunging the world into chaos with daily bloodshed and fire.

The thought of such a scenario was terrifying. If it truly came to pass, it might be more merciful to be wiped out by mutated beasts instead. Thinking about this, Ye Xuan embraced Su Mengli and reassured her, “Don’t worry, that day will never come as long as we’re here.”

The two gradually moved away from Warm Spring Town, the tens of thousands of glowing eyes watching them disappearing from their sight. However, a sense of heaviness lingered in their hearts.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in the Magic City. It was already dark, and the academy had closed for the day, with Lin Xu also resting.

Instead of going directly to the academy, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli returned to their villa in the Magic City. Their first night of intimacy had been in the Magic City, followed by a trip to the Capital. Returning to their love nest in the Magic City this time brought a different kind of satisfaction.

Both being young and passionate, they temporarily set aside the matter of zombies and wholeheartedly focused on continuing their family line.

The next morning, Ye Xuan cleaned up the messy battlefield and opened the windows to let the scent of the stone orchid flowers dissipate quickly. Then, the two went to the Awakened Ones Academy in the Magic City and found Lin Xu.

The Monkey had already taken on his role, teaching the students combat skills. The academy was curious about this Monkey mentor, and the students were learning diligently.

“Dean Lin, we couldn’t save the Six-Tailed Fox, and the situation in Warm Spring Town is much worse than we thought,” Ye Xuan reported.

Lin Xu was taken aback, “Worse? How bad is it?”

Ye Xuan thought back to the glowing eyes they left behind and said, “Dean Lin, have you heard of zombies?”

Lin Xu’s face changed slightly, “Zombies? Yin Emperor?”

Ye Xuan shook his head, “Not that kind of zombie. Yin Emperor controls dead bodies. I’m talking about vampiresque zombies that can turn others into zombies by biting them. There is a very powerful generation of zombies in Warm Spring Town, and currently, he has tens of thousands of descendants under him. The situation is extremely dire.”

Lin Xu’s face turned grave, “Zombies are a time bomb. If they spread across the country, hiding in the shadows, killing and sucking blood, it would pose a great threat to society.”

Ye Xuan, however, said, “Perhaps they have already spread out? This is something that we cannot handle. We can only report it to the higher-ups for action.”

Lin Xu nodded, “I understand. I will contact the higher authorities.”

This incident was indeed quite serious. Compared to the Zombie True Ancestor, the previous Spider Emperor was child’s play. After reporting the matter, Chen Zhengdao quickly intervened.

In the Capital, a group of top Awakened Ones gathered, with Chen Zhengdao appearing as a two-year-old baby, while the others were in their fifties or sixties.

Such a meeting seemed somewhat peculiar. However, despite his appearance, the baby Chen Zhengdao held the most authority, saying, “You all know the situation reported by Ye Xuan. How do you view this matter?”

Chu Han spoke directly, “What can we do? Mobilize the Awakened Ones, directly wipe out Warm Spring Town, exterminate all these zombies. If necessary, request the use of nuclear weapons!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengdao shook his head slightly and said, “Old Chu, you are too impulsive. Surely there are others who oppose this?”

Another Awakened One spoke up, “Exactly, the existence of True Ancestors may not necessarily be a bad thing for you humans!”

At this statement, both Chen Zhengdao and Chu Han’s expressions changed as they looked at the Awakened One.

Then, the eyes of that Awakened One turned green, and he smiled, “Why are you all looking at me like that? If, like me, you accidentally discover you have leukemia, it’s a dead end. But at that moment, a True Ancestor appears and tells me he can grant me endless life. How would you choose?”
