Li Chenzhou looked at Gao Lin but didn't speak. Instead, he pulled him to the back door and pointed at the zombies outside, saying,

　　"See? All the zombies here will gather when they hear any noise. With the fence blocking them, we can easily kill them!"

　　At this moment, Duan Lei had already begun his work. Because he was using a battle blade nearly a meter long, killing zombies was naturally much safer than using a dagger. Moreover, Duan Lei's physical attributes had already reached the peak of an ordinary person. Even Leopard and Gray Bear were definitely inferior to Duan Lei in terms of physical fitness alone.

　　However, Duan Lei was still cautious because the zombies were sticking their arms out through the gaps in the fence. If he attacked their heads directly, he might get grabbed, although the chances were small. Nevertheless, Duan Lei was very careful.

　　"Swish!"

　　He directly chopped off the reaching arms with a flick of his wrist, then stepped forward and thrust the battle blade into a zombie's eye socket. The sharp blade immediately pierced through the zombie's brain.

　　Duan Lei was immediately surprised. He hadn't expected this weapon, which looked very similar to a miaodao (a type of Chinese sword), to be so sharp. He hadn't used much force at all, yet he had pierced the zombie straight through.

　　Seeing Duan Lei's actions, Li Chenzhou felt relieved. He had been worried that Duan Lei would act recklessly and just start hacking and slashing without thinking, after all, Duan Lei was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, at an age when he liked to show off.

　　Seeing the severed arm fall into his shop, Gao Lin didn't react at all. He had known for a long time that after the world underwent such a drastic change, the shop could never reopen.

　　What he was worried about now was that Li Chenzhou would kill the Corpse King. Although she had become a zombie, she was still his wife, and they had lived together for more than ten years. Especially since Gao Lin had watched his wife suffer humiliation before her death, he felt guilty.

　　"We... we just need to kill the zombies at the door, and then we can leave, right? They won't chase us from behind, will they?"

　　Seeing that Duan Lei had already killed three zombies, Gao Lin looked at Li Chenzhou and asked, his tone tinged with a hint of pleading.

　　"You saw when I made noise at the back door just now, right? Those zombies all reacted to the sound, but none of them gathered like the zombies here. Do you know why?"

　　Li Chenzhou didn't answer directly, but instead looked at Gao Lin and asked.

　　Actually, whether or not the zombies in this neighborhood were cleared out really didn't matter to Li Chenzhou. Although there was an evolved zombie inside, which meant there was a mutated crystal core,

　　it would only take a week at most before evolved zombies were everywhere. Li Chenzhou didn't need to be in such a hurry. What made him decide to kill this Corpse King was entirely because of that little girl.

　　After seeing that Gao Lin's wife was already a Level 1 Corpse King, Li Chenzhou was now basically certain that the little girl was the Nether Corpse King from his previous life. Furthermore, the Nether Corpse King's ability to grow was definitely related in some way to the Level 1 Corpse King in the neighborhood.

　　Li Chenzhou naturally couldn't guess exactly what had happened in his previous life that caused the little girl to become the Nether Corpse King who so deeply hated men and even tortured them to death.

　　But in this life, since Li Chenzhou had encountered the little girl who had not yet grown into the Nether Corpse King, he naturally wouldn't let that terrifying Corpse King appear again. Therefore, killing that woman and taking her crystal core should be a good choice.

　　So, Li Chenzhou pulled Gao Lin back to the back door again and pointed at the woman, saying,

　　"She's not your wife anymore. She's a zombie, and an evolved zombie at that. Although I don't know why she became an evolved zombie so quickly, all the zombies around here are under her control. That is to say, in this yard, your wife is now the boss of the zombies!"

　　"She's the Corpse King you mentioned?"

　　Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Gray Bear was immediately shocked and quickly asked.

　　Li Chenzhou had already explained the types and characteristics of evolved zombies in detail to them at the hotel before, so it seemed Gray Bear had remembered everything.

　　"That's right! The most difficult Corpse King to deal with among all the evolved zombies!"

　　Li Chenzhou nodded, then looked around, picked up a kitchen knife, cut a gash in his palm, then stretched his hand out through the fence and clenched it tightly, so that the blood from the wound dripped down continuously.

　　"Roar!"

　　The scent of blood immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding zombies. They roared excitedly, then stepped forward and rushed towards this side, but immediately, the female Corpse King in the house also let out a piercing roar.

　　The zombies that were rushing over stopped instantly after hearing the roar. Their scarlet eyes stared unwillingly at Li Chenzhou's hand, which was constantly dripping blood, but in the end, they turned and left.

　　"See?"

　　Li Chenzhou opened his hand, looking at the wound and blood on his palm:

　　"Blood is the most tempting thing for zombies, but under the Corpse King's pressure, not a single one of them dared to come up. That's why I say that a horde of zombies with a Corpse King is comparable to an army, and even more terrifying than an army!

　　Because they have no thoughts, no fear, so they can ignore life and death and completely carry out all the Corpse King's orders without any disagreement!"

　　As he spoke, Li Chenzhou turned to look at Gao Lin:

　　"I know you don't want to see her killed, even if she has become a zombie, but right now, she's just a Level 1 Corpse King, capable of controlling only a few hundred zombies in this neighborhood.

　　But what about after she becomes stronger? What she will rule over will be an army of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of zombies. This kind of zombie with a certain amount of intelligence will definitely cause more human casualties and make survival even more difficult!

　　And, are you sure... she likes her current appearance?"

　　Gao Lin turned his head to look at the female Corpse King, finally closing his eyes weakly!

　　"Boss! All done!"

　　Duan Lei also came over at this time, returning the knife to Li Chenzhou.

　　"Take your daughter to the Qin Ting Hotel. You might not like what's going to happen next, especially if your daughter sees it."

　　Li Chenzhou took the knife and said to Gao Lin.

　　"No! I want to stay. When she dies, I can at least bury her with my own hands, instead of just letting her..."

　　Gao Lin wiped his face with both hands, took a deep breath, and then looked at Li Chenzhou, saying,

　　"Don't worry, I can accept it. This one now is not my wife. My wife... was bitten to death by zombies a long time ago. Let her rest in peace. At least now, she still has a husband and child who can see her off!"

　　"Alright!"

　　Li Chenzhou nodded, then walked outside with the knife. Duan Lei, Duan Xue, Leopard, and Gray Bear looked at each other and all followed...
