In the end, Liu Xiner left.
Although Liu Mengying did not force her to go to Jiang Hai, the stubborn girl had already made up her mind to meet her sister there and clarify things.
As for what would happen when she met Liu Mengying, only she knew.
Chu Donglin did not try to keep her from leaving. He sent her and Ling Er back to Ark Base and asked Ban Qingya to take care of them before returning to the city.
There, his Zombie Brothers were already waiting for him at the edge of the city.
Also waiting for him were Xue and Shishi.
When they bid farewell to Xing'er, the two did not accompany Chu Donglin.
As Chu Donglin rode back to the city's edge on White Wolf, he saw a group of Third-Stage Zombies lined up quietly along the streets, waiting for him.
Standing beside the enormous hamster head was Shishi, holding Xue's hand.
When Chu Donglin appeared, the girl happily waved at her returning father with a bright smile on her face.
Combined with the adorable expression of the giant hamster beneath her, the scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
However, after sending Liu Xiner back to the city, Chu Donglin did not linger.
He took his Zombie Legion back into the city and headed toward an abandoned area he had not visited in a long time.
There resided a powerful Fourth-Stage Tyrant, possibly one of the strongest Mutated Zombies in this world aside from Jiang Hai.
It guarded a mysterious and strange peach tree, seemingly waiting for it to bear fruit.
Chu Donglin understood that the energy contained within the Mysterious Peach was enough for a Zombie to evolve to a terrifying degree.
He was currently a Third-Stage Zombie. If he were to consume one of those peaches, it was even possible for him to evolve to Fifth-Stage or even Sixth Level.
As for whether the Tyrant had waited for the peaches to ripen and consumed them, Chu Donglin was not worried at all. If that Tyrant had indeed eaten the peaches, it would have at least evolved to Sixth Level or higher.
The evolution of a Zombie at that level would undoubtedly create an extraordinary presence, shaking the entire Wocheng… at the very least, many Zombies would feel that terrifying might.
After all, just by his presence alone, Chu Donglin was already enough to make numerous Zombies feel uneasy. A Sixth Level Zombie… could potentially dominate the entire Wocheng with its authority.
Now, the area remained as quiet as ever, with no signs of movement. This clearly indicated that the Tyrant was still guarding the peach tree and had not consumed those two magical peaches.
Passing through the relatively noisy district, a group of Third-Stage Zombies marched toward that area. Under Chu Donglin's orders, they suppressed their own aura, not wanting to alarm the Tyrant immediately.
After all, with over twenty Third-Stage Zombies approaching, it seemed that the Tyrant had not awakened any terrifying abilities yet and might not be able to withstand Chu Donglin's Zombie Legion.
This group of Zombie Brothers were all elite selections made by Chu Donglin himself; their strength and combat abilities varied greatly, far surpassing other Zombies of the same level. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by him.
Once that Tyrant sensed danger, it might recklessly attempt to escape with the Mysterious Peach. At that point, Chu Donglin would truly find himself in a place where he couldn't even cry.
Returning to a once-familiar neighborhood, Chu Donglin felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia. He had harassed the Tyrant several times before and had meticulously planned escape routes beforehand; he was already well-acquainted with the street layout in this area.
Now, returning with a powerful Zombie Legion, Chu Donglin felt a strange mix of emotions.
Looking at the battered remnants of battle scars along the way, he could still see deep pits on the cement ground that had been crushed by the Tyrant months ago. It brought back memories for him.
The last time he was here, he was merely a newly evolved Second Stage Zombie who had relied on his wits to survive. Even so, he had been chased around by Fury, the terrifying Fourth-Stage Tyrant, making for quite an embarrassing experience.
Now, returning with a powerful Zombie Legion and over twenty Third-Stage Mutated Zombies, he was an undeniable force wherever he went.
At this moment, Chu Donglin felt a rush akin to when he first returned to Wocheng to build his company, facing off against the Liu Family for the first time and decisively striking down their arrogance. It filled him with pride.
Recalling the time when he had just become a Zombie, he could barely walk steadily and struggled to hold onto anything, feeling so weak that even a gust of wind could knock him over.
Back then, all he could think about was survival—just to live, to keep living. Who would have thought that four months later, he would reach this point?
The power of the Third-Stage Zombie, combined with his ability to manipulate objects, allowed him to surpass countless Zombies and humans alike.
However, this illusory sense of pride and honor, while satisfying, was not enough to shake Chu Donglin's resolve.
He felt no hint of underestimating his opponent or any sense of complacency. He remained cautious as he led his Zombie Legion closer to the area where the Fourth-Stage Tyrant resided.
Then he saw a familiar sight.
The Fourth-Stage Tyrant, who had once chased Chu Donglin into desperate flight on several occasions, was now crouched with closed eyes on the wall at the entrance of the area, quietly absorbing the energy of the sunlight.
Motionless, it resembled a stone statue guarding the gate.
Sunlight poured over it as it silently absorbed the power belonging to the sun. The numerous tentacles that formed its arms writhed mindlessly at their tips, looking disturbingly grotesque.
It seemed unaware of Chu Donglin's gaze, simply continuing to absorb the sunlight's energy while waiting for the peaches behind it to ripen.
After hesitating for several seconds, Chu Donglin ultimately decided to step out and confront the Tyrant directly.
At this level of strength, there was no need for schemes or traps. Ordinary traps and schemes were unlikely to harm a Zombie of this caliber; plotting them would only be a waste of time.
Chu Donglin planned to confront the Tyrant head-on, hoping to overwhelm it with the sheer power and numbers of his Zombie Legion.
After all, there were five Animal-Type Zombies in Chu Donglin's team, and their speed during the Second Stage was already impressive. Now, having evolved to the Third Stage, they were even faster. With the speed, agility, and maneuverability of these Third-Stage Animal Zombies, they could easily outpace any high-end sports car by several blocks.
Even if Chu Donglin couldn't defeat the Tyrant, he could quickly lead his Zombie Legion in a frantic escape.
This Fourth-Stage Tyrant had been unable to catch up with Chu Donglin when he was riding a motorcycle, so it was even less likely to catch this highly mobile Zombie Legion.
However, when Chu Donglin and his Zombie Legion appeared at the street corner and caught the Tyrant's attention, its reaction left him stunned.
The massive creature turned its head to look at Chu Donglin several times, its blood-red eyes flickering with an eerie light as it scrutinized the Third-Stage Zombie. The gaze was strange and unpredictable, something Chu Donglin could not fathom.
Just as he expected the Tyrant to attack and prepared to strike first, the enormous beast suddenly jumped down from the wall.
Then this giant stood foolishly at the entrance, actively pulling open the iron gate. It resembled a servant waiting for its master to return home, standing motionless at the doorway.
With no anticipated attack coming, Chu Donglin was momentarily taken aback and suddenly felt a warmth in his eyes.
At that moment, Shishi's surprised voice rang in his ears.
“Daddy! Your eyes… your eyes have changed color!”
Chu Donglin was astonished and instinctively looked at the girl beside him with a bewildered expression. “My eyes changed color? How is that possible? What color are they now?”
Shishi tilted her head in confusion and looked closely several times. “Red… but it seems different from ours. Daddy, your eye color looks purer and even more beautiful… What’s happening? What happened to you?”
At that moment, the warmth in Chu Donglin's eyes gradually faded away, while the Fourth-Tier Tyrant stood at the entrance, presenting an image of indifference as if it would allow Chu Donglin to enter without interference.
Chu Donglin hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling someone...
"My dear son... is there anyone in this world who loves you more than I do?"
"My last inheritance... are you moved? I traveled thousands of miles, dragging my injured body back just to give you this sole inheritance."
"Hehe... maybe, just maybe, I've truly gone mad. Perhaps all these things are merely my illusions, and everything is just the ramblings of a lunatic... Hehe... how nice it would be to be insane; if I were, I wouldn't have to face such a despairing future."
"A little something... you'll understand its benefits later."
"You are the continuation of my life. Although I am not your mother, I have put in a lot of effort for you to become a sentient Zombie. So, shouldn't you repay me?"
"When you have the chance to go to Jiang Hai in the future, just kill those fellows for me. Those fellows have weakened significantly now; I believe you can take them down and avenge me."
"Of course, I trust that you will definitely help me eliminate those fellows... even for the future of this world, you won't hesitate for a moment. You are that kind of person; you never shy away from your responsibilities and will eradicate all threats in their cradle. In this regard, you surpass me greatly, which is why I chose you as my heir."
A familiar voice faintly echoed in Chu Donglin's ears.
He looked up in shock at the Fourth-Stage Tyrant ahead, his face filled with disbelief. "You are Acha's servant?" (To be continued...)
