Chu Fei's body slammed against the wall, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Meng Yang had already hidden in the energy pod amidst the chaos, anxiously urging Chu Fei, "Quickly press the switch, quickly!"
As soon as the switch was pressed, the entire crystal core would be absorbed by the Lord.
Meng Yang had originally intended to have someone conduct experiments to see if the absorption of the crystal core's energy was stable.
But now, he couldn't afford to worry about that. Meng Yang had no choice but to activate the plan!
Chu Fei heard the Lord's voice. Despite her severe injuries, she struggled to rush towards the energy pod.
Xiao Ye moved, approaching the energy pod.
Instantly, he received Chu Fei's gaze filled with immense hatred!
Her delicate body was fully exposed in his sight.
This was not the first time Xiao Ye had been ruthless towards Chu Fei!
Chu Fei's hand had already pressed the switch.
In an instant, the ground began to tremble.
Seeing the energy pod emit white light, the researchers' faces turned manic.
"Long live the Lord, the supreme ruler!"
The zombies, seeing the researchers' fanaticism, cut down the researchers like chopping vegetables.
Most bizarrely, before their deaths, the researchers wore a touch of sickly smiles.
They had helped the Lord complete a great plan; the most magnificent existence in the apocalypse was about to appear!
A group of lunatics!
"You can't stop me."
Countless crystal cores erupted with immense energy, and Meng Yang's body swelled with blood like a balloon.
However, his eyes were about to bulge out as he grinned menacingly and said, "I will dig out your crystal core with my own hands!"
Xiao Ye tried to shatter the energy pod, but the crystal core had already formed a protective shield, enveloping Meng Yang.
As all the energy was absorbed by the Lord, Chu Fei couldn't understand why this had happened.
However, she said coldly to Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, you evil zombie, I won't let the base be destroyed by you!!"
With one hand, Xiao Ye could take Chu Fei's life.
She didn't even dodge.
Her eyes, filled with hatred, gazed at Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye's attack didn't land on Chu Fei's face; a complex expression slowly appeared on his features.
"Retreat!"
Hearing Xiao Ye's command, the zombie army immediately prepared to charge out of the base.
The energy absorbed by Meng Yang was too immense, and the light grew increasingly blinding.
If they lingered any longer, it would explode!
The ability users also sensed something was wrong and quickly rushed out with Chu Fei.
Within minutes, the base exploded, forming a mushroom cloud!
The blast's force affected all the survivors, and the Lord's stronghold was utterly destroyed into ruins.
Having absorbed all the energy, Meng Yang vanished.
...
Off-screen.
For a fleeting moment, Chu Fei wished she had died at Xiao Ye's hands.
If only this fool had been killed by Xiao Ye on the spot!
Then Chu Fei wouldn't have pressed the switch, helping the Lord Meng Yang absorb the energy.
Chu Fei clutched her hair forcefully, her gaze becoming hollow. "Why did it turn out this way... Why were all my actions wrong..."
Teaming up with Shen Que and the others was wrong; being pushed into the zombie horde and thinking Xiao Ye had abandoned her was wrong.
Her faith in the Lord upon arriving at the A-City Base was also wrong!
Chu Fei's worldview shattered. She realized that if it weren't for Xiao Ye,
She would be nothing, having died foolishly long ago.
How laughable that she thought herself so clever!
How laughable that she activated the switch, aiding Meng Yang.
After the loss of their Lord, Chu Fei stepped forward as a protector for the base.
Then, when the humans in the base suddenly turned into zombies, and their numbers grew...
In her past life, Chu Fei believed that the survivors' mutations were all Xiao Ye's doing.
"Hahaha... I finally understand why..."
Chu Fei was going mad from this truth; her expression turned utterly deranged. "It was me, I doomed everyone. It was me who activated that damned switch..."
It was the activation of that mechanism, helping Meng Yang.
That caused the base's survivors to be turned into zombies by Meng Yang!
How ironic that she had held Meng Yang in such high regard!
Hahaha...
The masses on Blue Star, witnessing Chu Fei's breakdown, couldn't help but instinctively take a step back.
Chu Fei's heart felt like it was tearing apart, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
"War God Chu, are... are you alright?"
It was as if Chu Fei's ears were blocked; she couldn't hear anything around her.
She had plunged into an abyss of pain, an unparalleled despair.
"I am the sinner of the apocalypse, almost destroying humanity's hope."
"Hahaha, Xiao Ye, thank you for telling me how terribly wrong I was."
Chu Fei had always been firm in her beliefs that she was right, even when she died in her past life, it was for humanity.
When the base survivors turned into zombies, she fought to protect the remaining humans and died!
To think she believed she was sacrificing herself for humanity...
In her past life.
Through Xiao Ye's blood, the physicians developed a diluted serum.
In Xiao Ye's gaze, the suit zombie drank the serum.
The surrounding zombies also drank the serum, and the physicians smiled as they meticulously recorded the data.
"The process of transforming back into humans this time should not be overly painful."
They looked at Xiao Ye, who was lying on the testing equipment, and asked, "Zombie King... ah no, Mr. Xiao, to what extent has your strength regressed now?"
Xiao Ye replied indifferently, "Only one-third of my strength remains, and I am infinitely close to being human."
The physicians understood Xiao Ye's physical condition and said, "If you draw blood one or two more times, you will completely revert to being human."
The thousands of zombies present, having consumed the serum, showed increasing clarity in their eyes.
"You can't drain all my blood, can you?"
The physicians shook their heads, "Of course not. As you gradually transform back into a human, drawing more than 800 milliliters of blood will cause irreversible damage to your body."
Because Xiao Ye was still half-zombie, they had drawn over a thousand milliliters of blood.
Fortunately, Xiao Ye's recovery ability was strong, and the dizziness didn't last long.
Xiao Ye spoke earnestly to the physicians, "When the time comes, I will grant you all freedom, along with all the humans in the zombie territory."
The physicians were no longer in a hurry to leave; their faces were filled with honor. "Allow us to remain by your side and serve you. Thank you for your contributions to the apocalypse, for bringing the hope that humanity yearns for."
Seeing the physicians' fervent expressions, Xiao Ye found that they had no intention of regaining their freedom.
He was helpless.
The suit zombies and the others were waiting to turn back into humans.
Xiao Ye returned to the zombie territory.
He released all the humans!
Chen Fei and the others, in a daze, regained their freedom.
The caged humans were disbelieving, staring blankly at Xiao Ye. "King, you are letting us go?"
Xiao Ye nodded.
The humans let out collective wails, which sounded less like joy.
"Were we not diligent enough with our daily labor? Why are you abandoning us!"
Xiao Ye looked at the humans who had become accustomed to idleness, all of them crying and unwilling to leave.
Indeed, keeping humans captive was not a good task.
Xiao Ye stood with his hands behind his back, "You can go wherever you wish. I guarantee... the zombies in the apocalypse will gradually disappear."
