Chapter 37
Listening carefully, Wen Qingling realized that his karma with the dead might really be very bad. The issue with the blood corpse is still unresolved, and now he has conflicts with the ‘General.’ His karma with the dead is so bad and he really can’t do anything about it.
However, just when Wen Qingling was feeling emotional, the blood corpse and the sisters came to him.
Wen Qingling: “???”
Did the General send them to assassinate me?
The sisters said: “This is not the place to talk. Let’s find a place to chat.”
Wen Qingling understood that the entire Ling City is under the General’s control, and whatever they say or do will be known by the General. If they want to avoid his eyes and ears, they can only go somewhere a hundred miles away.
Wen Qingling drove and took the three corpses out of Ling City, and went to a place a hundred miles away. When they were out of the General’s control, Wen Qingling stopped the car and got out to take a breath. The heavy stench almost killed him. The sisters kept looking at the blood corpse in disgust.
The blood corpse: “I’m ugly, I stink, and it’s my fault.”
Wen Qingling kindly advised him: “You really should become a decent and good corpse.”
The blood corpse responded with a hoarse and unpleasant voice: “If I become a good corpse, I will only be suppressed by you for the rest of my life.”
Wen Qingling quickly distanced himself: “Don’t say that. I’m not interested in you. You’re too ugly and repulsive.”
The sisters laughed: “You have a good relationship, why do you always fight and kill each other?”
Wen Qingling and the blood corpse looked at them at the same time.
Wen Qingling said, “It’s good that you can still laugh.”
The blood corpse said, “It’s too stiff. It’s better not to laugh.”
The sisters said, “Ugly things shouldn’t exist in this world. City Lord Wen, why don’t we join forces to kill it and then split the Eastern City between us?”
Wen Qingling agreed, “That’s a good idea.”
The blood corpse said, “Be alert and step back. We didn’t come out to fight each other. Don’t you two have the same goal as me?”
The sisters smiled awkwardly and looked like a cracked statues. “That’s true, but who wouldn’t want more territory? We’ll kill you, then kill the General, and then Ling City will belong to us and City Lord Wen.”
The blood corpse said, “Actually, you two are quite beautiful, whether you laugh or not.”
This made things awkward, but there was nothing to be done. The blood corpse had to bow under the eaves.
It lowered its head.
Wen Qingling said, “Do you want a blood anemone? They all ate it and were not affected by me.”
Blood Corpse said, “I believe in your evil! If they were not affected, why are they here?”
The Sisters continued, “We are here because we found that the General’s pressure has no effect on us, and we cannot be commanded by it. So why should we watch it run rampant in Ling City without taking its place?”
Blood Corpse: “…”
Yes, Blood Corpse was the same. No matter how powerful the General was, and no matter how heavy its pressure was, it was not affected or controlled. It had its own thoughts and wanted to rebel, not to live under the shadow of the General.
Blood Corpse said, “Me too. So what should we do?”
Wen Qingling replied, “Let’s get a blood anemone and change your scent.”
Blood Corpse said, “I don’t want it!”
Blood Corpse almost went berserk on the spot. Wen Qingling was too wicked!
Wen Qingling said, “Stop yelling. Your broken voice is a bit harsh.”
Blood Corpse: “…”
Blood Corpse turned around and yelled at the empty wilderness.
“Roar—!!!”
So angry!
It dared not yell at Wen Qingling for fear of offending him and causing a fight.
It could only vent its frustration into the wilderness.
Wen Qingling asked, “So, do we need to kill the General now?”
The Sisters and Blood Corpse looked at Wen Qingling at the same time.
Wen Qingling: “???”
Wen Qingling said, “What are you looking at me for? I can’t kill it.”
The Sisters and Blood Corpse said at the same time, “You can do it. We believe in you.”
Wen Qingling said with a straight face, “Believe your grandpa!”
Wen Qingling said, “Are you waiting for me to die and inherit my South City?”
The Sisters: “…”
Blood corpse: “…”
The Sisters said, “Lord Wen, if the General does not die or leave Ling City, all our cities will be under its control.”
Wen Qingling asked, “If I drive it away or kill it, will Ling City and all the other cities be mine?”
The Sisters and Blood Corpse fell into contemplation at the same time.
This is a very serious problem.
The sisters looked at the blood corpse, and the blood corpse looked at the two sisters.
Compared with the ambitious “general,” Lord Wen, who had no great ambitions, seemed to be easier to get along with. They all knew that Lord Wen did not have the ambition to dominate, he just wanted to build a city, raise zombies, and develop a three-acre land in the south city, which was easy to satisfy.
Therefore, Lord Wen was better.
The blood corpse nodded first, “As long as we can succeed, Ling City will look up to you in the future.”
The two sisters agreed.
Wen Qingling opened his backpack and said, “Here, eat a blood anemone before we talk.”
The blood corpse said, “I won’t eat it, I won’t eat it, I won’t eat it!”
Wen Qingling narrowed his dangerous eyes, “If you don’t eat it now, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the sharks. You won’t be able to look up to Ling City anymore.”
The blood corpse hesitated.
The two sisters said, “Don’t be ugly, either eat it or die.”
Damn it, it’ll eat it. It didn’t believe it could die from eating it.
The blood corpse took a few bites of the blood anemone, but before it could taste it, it heard Wen Qingling say, “Ten thousand crystal cores for one, thank you for your patronage.”
The blood corpse almost choked on the blood anemone, coughing for a while before finally swallowing it.
The blood corpse said, “Isn’t it free?”
Wen Qingling said, “How could it be free? That wouldn’t be fair to Tiantian and Xinxin.”
The blood corpse’s uneven red flesh began to repair itself, gradually regaining its human skin, facial features, hair, and limbs, finally looking like a person, except for its blood-red eyes. It was no longer a corpse.
Wen Qingling said, “Change your clothes and you will finally look like a person.”
The blood corpse carefully felt its transformation and finally relaxed after confirming that it was not controlled by Wen Qingling.
Wen Qingling thought, ‘My control is not something that anyone can feel.’
The Blood Corpse went out for a walk and found a set of clothes that happened to fit him. It then returned, and they began to discuss how to drive away or kill the “General.”
Wen Qingling couldn’t go alone, so he had to drag these three zombies with him. If necessary, he would mobilize all the zombies in the East, South, and West districts to attack the city center together!
Of course, such a result may have caused the three zombies to be controlled by the “general” instead.
It’s not easy to rebel, as expected.
Four zombies were squatting on the road, murmuring to each other, when an off-road vehicle drove straight toward them. All four turned their heads at the same time. The off-road vehicle stopped and Xiao Hen stepped out of the car with his long legs.
“Are you okay?” Xiao Hen walked towards Wen Qingling.
The blood corpse roared and pounced on Xiao Hen.
Xiao Hen held his long knife in his hand, ready to strike back, but heard Wen Qingling say, “Stop!”
The blood corpse was forced to stop in its tracks. He looked at himself in disbelief and then at Wen Qingling. Finally, he understood that he was not immune to his control.
The blood corpse roared, “Wen Qingling! You lied to me!”
Wen Qingling replied, “What did I lie to you about? I told you if you didn’t eat, I would feed you to the sharks. You chose to eat voluntarily.”
The blood corpse roared again and lunged at Wen Qingling. But since the blood corpse had eaten the blood anemone, Wen Qingling had become his “father”. Wen Qingling was not afraid of this ungrateful child causing any trouble.
The blood corpse’s sharp black claws were against Wen Qingling’s neck, but he couldn’t cut him. It was as if there was an invisible force preventing him from harming Wen Qingling.
The blood corpse was frustrated and wanted to bang his head against a wall, but there was no wall to be found. So he resorted to banging his head against the car.
Wen Qingling said, “That’s enough. Don’t damage my car.”
The blood corpse continued to roar in anger.
Xiao Hen looked at Wen Qingling in confusion and asked, “Is this a blood corpse?”
Wen Qingling didn’t reply. He couldn’t keep this secret hidden forever. Who would have thought that he would encounter Xiao Hen here?
The blood corpse exclaimed, “Yes, I’m a blood corpse! Don’t you recognize me now that I’ve grown human skin? But I remember you! You cut me with a knife and beat me up. I’ll repay you for all of it!”
Xiao Hen was shocked and asked Wen Qingling, “How did he become like this?”
The blood corpse grinned and revealed a chilling smile, “Didn’t Wen Qingling tell you this secret? I thought he trusted you since he helped you so many times, but I guess not.”
“You can shut up now,” Wen Qingling interrupted him. “If you dare say another word, Dad will personally remove your brain.”
Xiao Hen was stunned. He looked at the two pretty girls who were dressed up, but they didn’t look like survivors at all!
It feels just like when he first smelled Wen Qingling’s scent!
The sisters forced a stiff smile, “Hey handsome.”
Wen Qingling said, “Don’t listen to him, he just evolved and turned into this.”
Xiao Hen stared at him. He could see through many people, but he couldn’t see through Wen Qingling.
He hesitated a bit, “He is like you…?”
Wen Qingling shook his head, “No, we are not the same. I am his father and he is my son.”
Xiao Hen: “…”
The Blood Corpse was furious and jumped like thunder, “Wen Qingling! Don’t push it too far! Who is your son?!”
Wen Qingling ignored him and asked Xiao Hen, “Why are you here?”
Xiao Hen replied, “I’ve been wandering around here for several days, trying to find Ji Rong and the others, and also trying to get close to Ling City.”
Xiao Hen’s gaze fell on the sisters, then glanced at the Blood Corpse, and finally looked at Wen Qingling, “What are you doing here?”
Qingling said, “Discussing how to get rid of the ‘General’.”
Xiao Hen didn’t expect them to be plotting something like this.
Wen Qingling said, “The ‘General’ has a very strong perception. The area within a radius of one hundred miles outside of Ling City is all within its perception. We need to discuss how to deal with it and we can’t let it hear us.”
Xiao Hen asked, “Is there any result now?”
Wen Qingling shook his head. “The ‘General’ is very strong, possibly stronger than the seventh-level evolved ‘Turret.’ Ling City has evolved a ‘Turret,’ which I have seen. All the surviving people around Ling City gathered together to try to eliminate the ‘Turret,’ but instead, the survivors were killed by the ‘Turret,’ and many people died. Those who luckily survived went into hiding and dared not fight it head-on.”
Xiao Hen looked serious. “In other words, there are now two high-level evolved zombies, the ‘Turret’ and the ‘General,’ inside Ling City?”
The Blood corpse screamed from the depths of its soul, “The highest evolved zombie is Wen Qingling! If he hadn’t been lying around all the time, Ling City wouldn’t have the ‘General’ running wild!”
After screaming, the Blood corpse immediately protected its own brain and retreated far away.
Wen Qingling waved to the Blood corpse. “Come here, Daddy will teach you how to be a civilized and polite zombie.”
The Blood corpse retreated even further. Was it stupid? It had been fooled once and it wouldn’t be fooled again!
Xiao Hen looked at Wen Qingling, who had no intention of explaining, and continued, “The ‘Turret’ bombed all the surviving bases and then left Ling City. We don’t know where it went.”
It’s very likely that it’s gone to harm others. Such monsters can’t be killed.
The seventh-level evolved “Turret” is an abnormal existence. It’s a monster that evolved by merging zombies with real turrets. It’s a real walking turret that can fire, and its firepower is terrifying. It belongs to the category of mass-killing weapons.
If the “Turret” had not left, perhaps Ling City would not have had the opportunity to evolve the “General.”
