Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Nothing Better to Do

In a village not far from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

The entire village was silent, with black blood still congealed on the road, permeating the air with a decaying atmosphere.

If you listened closely, you’d realize the thick, rotten stench didn’t come from the solidified black blood on the ground.

Rather, it came from the houses that seemed to be covered in dust.

In the middle of the village, there was a relatively clean and tidy two-story building.

In that courtyard, a boy of seven or eight sat on a small stool, holding a pen, scratching his head as he stared blankly at the snow-white exam paper before him.

On the snow-white exam paper, some crooked numbers were written, and upon closer inspection, it was filled with symbols; the questions on it had reached Olympic competition difficulty.

Zhang Yiming lounged lazily on a recliner, squinting at the sun in the sky, seemingly indifferent to everything.

Even when he retracted his aura, he didn’t look directly at Fan Tangtang, who was working on the exam.

Fan Tangtang still didn’t dare to look up at Zhang Yiming sitting in front of him.

As long as Zhang Yiming was there, he was very docile.

The aura that Zhang Yiming vaguely emanated made him tremble all over, with an urge to escape.

Beside Zhang Yiming stood a zombie with a rotting body, wearing a black bomber jacket, its features still showing traces of youthful handsomeness.

Its face was vacant, head bowed in fear, not daring to look directly at Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang.

It was the Xiao Song zombie, and ever since Zhang Yiming had brought it back from the computer city, it had been following him.

All because it was entrusted by Xiao Niu.

“Roar—”

The sound of a zombie’s roar came from the village entrance.

Zhang Yiming remained still, expressionless, continuing to lay lazily on the chair.

Fan Tangtang blinked, sneaked a glance at the Xiao Song zombie, and lowered his head to continue scratching his head over the exam.

He wasn’t concerned about the situation outside at all.

After all, they were just here to die.

What he cared about was how many points he could score today!

He felt that today’s exam was really difficult!

Was this really the standard for elementary school math?

Fan Tangtang felt a bit overwhelmed and at a loss.

Fan Tangtang’s grandfather stood quietly behind him, his vacant eyes staring blankly in Fan Tangtang’s direction, unmoving.

Fan Tangtang’s parents were busy inside the small building, one was wiping furniture with a cloth, the other was mopping the floor.

Hearing the zombie’s roar outside, they exchanged a glance and continued with their tasks.

From initial fear and panic to now calm as water.

With Fan Tangtang and Mr. Fan here, they felt there was nothing wrong with living in a zombie nest.

At the gate of the courtyard stood a tall blue-dressed zombie.

It was barefoot, its rotting feet constantly oozing black blood, standing vacant at the doorway, like a statue.

Occasionally, it would glance toward the courtyard, its hollow eyes revealing, besides fear, an inexplicable emotion.

Gunfire and zombie roars echoed from the village entrance.

The blue-dressed female zombie shifted uneasily, as if wanting to enter the courtyard.

But there was a terrifying brainwave that it dreaded in the courtyard.

Hence, it could only huddle by the entrance, cautiously.

At the village entrance.

Captain Zhu held a pistol, his face cold, surrounded by purple lightning, his eyes stern as he watched the zombie suddenly appear before him.

In recent days, he came every day.

As a result, familiar faces dressed in bomber jackets began appearing in the opposing zombie camp.

Every time, those he brought were killed, and only he survived.

In the end, he came alone.

The people from Fire Phoenix Safety Base were unwilling to come to this entirely zombie-filled village without any supplies.

Anyone who came was courting death; no one was foolish enough to follow Captain Zhu under such circumstances.

Bang bang bang!

Captain Zhu’s pistol aimed mercilessly at the head of the suited male zombie, firing shots.

The suited male zombie’s vacant face showed a human-like helplessness.

It was really tough!

The boss wouldn’t let it kill Captain Zhu, but it couldn’t let him in either.

The suited male zombie’s unskilled fingers twitched and a wall of ice instantly formed in front of it, blocking the bullets.

Captain Zhu’s pupils slightly contracted.

Clearly, the suited male zombie in front of him was just Zhang Yiming’s subordinate, yet its superpower was so strong that the ice wall it formed could actually block bullets!

Purple lightning wildly struck the suited male zombie, which stood dumbly in place.

Letting the purple lightning hit it.

Sizzling sounds.

The suited male zombie’s body was instantly torn apart, black blood splattering.

Despite this, its face remained vacantly.

It couldn’t feel any pain.

After the lightning rampage.

The suited male zombie blinked slowly, it was its turn to strike.

Each would attack once, Captain Zhu hit it, it hit Captain Zhu, very fair.

Ice blades rapidly formed and aimed at Captain Zhu, slicing through the air.

Squish squish sounds echoed.

Captain Zhu couldn’t dodge in time, and the ice blades sliced his skin.

Red blood instantly spurted out.

“Roar—”

Within the zombie horde, a zombie let out a suppressed roar.

The red blood stimulated their senses, and the frenzy for blood raged in their minds, making them unable to control their inner agitation.

Flesh was so near, and their dry throats constantly clamored to rush over and devour him!

Despite this, they only let out a dry roar or two.

No zombie dared to unleash its nature under Zhang Yiming’s brainwave suppression.

Covered in red blood, severely wounded, Captain Zhu still fired shot after shot from his gun.

Bang bang bang!

The suited male zombie found it somewhat tiresome.

Captain Zhu came every day, always trying to take away the boss’s current most favored subordinate—the Xiao Song zombie.

It was exasperated.

The boss’s zombie, how could it possibly give it to a human!

If it weren’t for the boss explicitly saying not to let Captain Zhu die, it would have bitten him long ago.

Squish squish…

The suited male zombie found it somewhat boring, as the ice wall before it melted away, only shielding its head, exposing its body.

Bullets instantly embedded themselves in the suited male zombie’s body.

The suited male zombie’s vacantly looked at its abdomen, using its rotting fingers to silently pick out the bullets.

Captain Zhu fired; it picked bullets.

One, two, three…

Its abdomen was already cored out, yet the suited male zombie remained engrossed.

Merely wounds, it could absorb Crystal Cores later to heal.

Having nothing better to do, it played with the bullets one by one.

Captain Zhu’s face was covered in red blood, his eyes furiously red.

“Zhang Yiming! Come out!”

Captain Zhu’s voice was full of anger.

Xiao Song was an officer he had mentored, and no matter what, he had to find him.

Captain Zhu’s furious voice echoed through the village, but no response came.

Bang bang bang!

After his bullets were all spent and his body was bloodstained, Captain Zhu cast a vicious glance in the village’s direction.

Then he turned alone, slowly mounting the motorcycle, and headed toward the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

His face was extremely cold, with a raging fire in his heart, yet with no way to vent it.
