The street, once as quiet as a dead city, was suddenly surrounded by several zombies within minutes due to his roar.
Xiao Chongyan was a little stunned.
He hadn't forgotten that he was just an ordinary person now, without the superpower to control zombies. The fruit knife in his hand was completely useless against these monsters.
Before he could run, he became conflicted again.
He thought of how this woman had pushed him into the zombie horde, how he had become a zombie emperor, and all the suffering he had endured afterward. He wanted revenge on this woman.

After the system's announcement, it kindly reminded: [Host, he wants to kill you.]
"I know." His killing intent was too obvious now.
Xiao Chongyan indeed wanted to kill her. He had even planned it: pretend to pull her away, and then at the right moment, push her towards the zombies, making her taste that same pain. Sudancao.net
However, when he grabbed Zhuo Yan's hand, his mind suddenly heated up. He forgot all about revenge and hatred, and pulling her, he turned and ran, heading towards the area with the fewest zombies.
There were two zombies in that direction. Besides those that mutated that very night, the later ones were all turned by bites and scratches. Some even had more than half of their bodies gnawed away.
According to the original plot, only Xiao Chongyan retained human memory and consciousness, and his body could heal.
This was also why he could endure so long on the operating table?
The others were true shambling corpses, monsters with incomplete bodies, unrecognizable faces, and dragging their internal organs as they walked. The impact was considerable.
Having seen too much in his previous life, Xiao Chongyan wasn't scared by their appearance now. He rushed towards one of them and quickly punched it, knocking the zombie to the ground. He bypassed it, about to continue running.
The hatred and unwillingness in his heart began to stir again.
As if guided by a force he couldn't explain, he pushed Zhuo Yan back, in the direction of the zombie he had just knocked down.
Zhuo Yan kicked the ugly thing away.
Xiao Chongyan, who had been planning to escape, watched the zombie fly away. His eyes widened, and he looked at the scene in disbelief, his heart profoundly shaken.
Why was she so powerful?
Zhuo Yan landed lightly. As the next monster charged forward, she counter-attacked with her sword, splitting the monster, which was already unrecognizable, in half.
Facing the pursuers from behind, she was even more agile and swift, like cutting watermelons, without batting an eye. She sliced horizontally and vertically. In less than two minutes, the already mangled zombies were dismembered.
After dealing with these creatures, she wiped her dirtied long sword on a zombie, but it didn't clean properly, so she gave up.
Looking at the stunned person before her, she didn't seem angry. Instead, she acted as if nothing had happened and comforted him, "It's okay now, don't be afraid."
Xiao Chongyan: "..."

Zhuo Yan: "..." The smile on her face faltered. She even had the urge to tie him up and lock him away for some serious "training."
Did she provoke him? Why was his blackening value increasing without a word?
He didn't even get angry when she wanted to kill him, but his blackening value increased. She felt that he hadn't suffered enough hardships, but rather had never truly experienced the harsh realities of society.
"Not leaving?"
Hearing her tone shift from gentle to indifferent, Xiao Chongyan felt a strange confusion. Whether he was pretending or genuinely didn't understand, he hummed and continued walking forward.
On the road ahead, he kept looking back from time to time. Zhuo Yan threw away her umbrella and carried her dirty long sword, hacking and slashing. One moment she would cut down a gradually withering street tree, the next she would cleave through whatever blocked her path.
Her entire demeanor exuded a sense of frustration.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Chongyan felt a rare sense of satisfaction from his successful revenge.

Zhuo Yan looked at the person in front of her and rolled her eyes.
So stingy.
She would definitely get it back from him in the future.
