Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Ji Ruxue: I Really Am Stupid!
Thinking of this, Ji Ruxue’s mind went completely blank.
This was something she had never imagined.
But now, all these phenomena connecting together left no other possibilities.
Ji Ruxue frantically ruffled her hair, finding it hard to accept this fact.
"How could my dad possibly be the Zombie King?..."
For a moment, Ji Ruxue felt her brain was in chaos.
She couldn’t help but recall the Zombie King she had seen in her previous life.
Those guys were all bloodthirsty and brutal, slaughtering humans mercilessly upon sight.
Even though the Zombie King’s own combat prowess wasn’t particularly strong, these guys were all vicious.
Many large Corpse Tides that occurred in the apocalypse were actually controlled by the Zombie King behind the scenes, and countless human survivors perished under these tides!
In the apocalypse, the Zombie King was nothing short of a disaster and a harbinger of doom for human survivors.
The emergence of a Zombie King always accompanied a frenzy of killing.
Moreover, every one of these creatures was cowardly and greedy for life, willing to manipulate zombies to do anything for survival and never exposing themselves to danger.
Possessing intelligence not inferior to humans, and even surpassing them, they were exceptionally deceitful and sinister.
They would even set traps to harm human survivors.
In the early days of the apocalypse, human survivors were busy trying to survive in this mutated world.
Coupled with the lack of experience, they had little understanding of the types and habits of zombies.
Without knowing the existence of a Zombie King, humans, with their inherent thinking, believed zombies were unintelligent beings.
As a result, in the early days, many human survivors died because of the Zombie King.
Many survivors and camps were destroyed.
Even many human warriors Ji Ruxue knew from the early apocalypse.
They perished in the Zombie King’s trap before they could grow stronger.
Even the survivor camp where Ji Ruxue lived was eventually overtaken by the Zombie King leading the zombies.
It could be said that the Zombie King was far more dangerous to humans than any other Evolved Zombie!
Yet the Zombie King in her memories couldn’t possibly connect to her zombie dad...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fierce battle below Building Number Five continued.
Ji Ruxue could see her zombie dad displaying a ferocity and brutality not usual for him.
The blood-colored pupils revealed a chilling intent to kill.
Each move was ruthless, devoid of the tenderness he usually showed her.
Punches left dents on the iron doors, proving his current anger.
Looking at her dad fighting so desperately for her.
Ji Ruxue truly couldn’t associate him with the sinister and deceitful Zombie King.
How could this be?!
If it hadn’t been for the zombie dad showing up in time, she would have starved to death.
At that time, he was like a ray of light illuminating her world.
Afterward, all he did every day was make milk for her, cook meals for her, and play with her.
He even collected various supplies for her to give her a better life.
Though her dad, like other zombies, couldn’t speak, whenever excited, he would pinch her cheeks to express joy and love.
Such a gentle and caring zombie dad couldn’t possibly be the bloodthirsty and brutal Zombie King she had seen in her previous life.
Even when Ji Ruxue was the Empress in her past life, having experienced many life-and-death crises.
But when this happened before her eyes, she still felt a bit confused and lost.
Though unwilling to believe it, all the signs suggested that her dad was not an ordinary Evolved Zombie but the Zombie King controlling the Sunshine District...
Ji Ruxue found it hard to imagine that in the apocalypse, not to mention zombies, even humans wouldn’t be as caring as her dad in such situations.
How could a Zombie King have the brilliance of humanity?
Wait a minute...
"I almost forgot! My dad is a zombie who retained his human consciousness!"
Ji Ruxue’s previously confused eyes instantly brightened.
"It must be this way! Zombie dad retained his human consciousness for some reason, so after turning into a zombie, he still lives like a human!"
"Because he has human consciousness, he’s fundamentally different from those Zombie Kings I encountered before!"
Once Ji Ruxue understood this, she suddenly saw the light.
Even though the Zombie King possessed intelligence, it ultimately had a zombie’s mindset.
But her dad was different, his body had turned into a zombie, but his consciousness hadn’t changed!
Ji Ruxue thought of all her actions during this time and couldn’t help but smile wryly at her own foolishness.
"I didn’t think I could be this stupid..."
"Actually trying to help dad break free from supposed Zombie King control by teaming up with the Nine Deaths Demon Police."
"Clearly, all the signs were so obvious, I should have thought of this long ago!"
"All of dad’s actions were beyond normal logic, yet I failed to link him with the Zombie King."
Especially when thinking about how she had planned to kill the Zombie King and let dad consume the Crystal Core, Ji Ruxue felt unbelievably ridiculous.
"I was so incredibly stupid to think about gouging out dad’s Crystal Core!"
Looking at the dad below who was still fighting desperately for her, Ji Ruxue felt immense regret.
If she hadn’t stopped in time, zombie dad might have been in danger today.
If that had happened, it would have been too late for her to regret!
Though she always aimed to protect dad’s safety, she had instead placed him in danger.
In an instant, Ji Ruxue’s heart was filled with guilt.
Just as Ji Ruxue cleared her thoughts, the battle below had reached a fever pitch.
Zhao Lin had determined that the Zombie King was in Building Number Five and tried desperately to break in to kill the Zombie King.
However, she was no match for Lu Chuan and a group of Evolved Zombies.
And without Ji Ruxue’s secret help, she instantly fell into a precarious situation.
Lu Chuan maneuvered ’Da Pang’, ’Lightning One’, and ’Lightning Two’ to encircle her, putting Zhao Lin in extreme danger facing the four Evolved Zombies.
The key was because she was confident the Invisible was helping her in secret, so many times she didn’t defend against attacks.
As a result, she suffered miserably.
Hiss~
The rib broken by Lu Chuan’s punch left Zhao Lin gasping in pain with every breath.
"Damn Invisible! We agreed to work together to kill the Zombie King, but you’re just watching?!"
