Chapter 284: Chapter 384: Zombies Can Work Too?

“There were peach blossoms just now, I picked some for you!”

Bai Anhai quickly explained.

“Heh, just peach blossoms, the more, the merrier.”

Wang Yiyun sneered, double meaning intended.

Her husband has been around for over twenty years.

No need to beat around the bush, at this moment, she wanted a change!

Bai Anhai: …

The midlife crisis feeling.

Silently, he touched his slightly protruding belly, his eyes filled with melancholy.

This damned fat is too bothersome.

Oh God!

Give some of his fat to Skinny Monkey Bai Yifan!

Not much, fifty pounds will do!

Bai Anhai shamelessly wanted to say something to Wang Yiyun.

Creak, the heavy wooden door sounded.

They have arrived at the elderly man’s home.

It’s a very ordinary farmhouse courtyard, with several peach trees planted in it.

These peach trees are taller than any in the village, looking quite old.

Besides peach trees, many green plants are also planted in the yard.

Mostly green plants of some sort.

These plants are vibrant, clearly cared for by green superpower for a long time.

Looking closely, after the elderly man returned, the plants on the ground subtly leaned toward him.

The elderly man’s house has mud walls, windows made of paper, poorly lit and dim inside.

There are only two rooms in total, a kitchen on one side and the other serving as both a bedroom and living room.

One person moving around felt spacious, the Bai Family filled it instantly upon entering.

The elderly man didn’t mind the crowd, wearing a kindly smile on his face.

He has gone through a lot—fearlessly faced battlefields, famine, floods, and earthquakes.

After becoming a zombie, he could perfectly suppress his inner bloodthirsty impulse.

The only thing he wanted was to let this hard-won peaceful land become quiet again.

In his eyes, zombies and humans alike cannot be treated as monsters if zombies have the chance to possess self-awareness.

If they could live peacefully together, he would be very pleased.

The elderly man took out teacups and teapots long unused, preparing to clean them.

Bai Yifan and Leng Yebai quickly went over and took the teacups and teapots from him.

“Grandpa, just sit in the chair and rest!” Bai Yifan smilingly said to the elderly man.

Bai Yifan is a good kid who respects elders and loves the young.

“This child is really good!”

The elderly man looked at Bai Yifan’s back with a kindly smile.

Becoming a zombie had no real impact on him.

He can perfectly control his behavior and remains as he used to be, fond of children.

“Indeed, a good kid!” Bai Anhai nodded in deep agreement.

This kid can take a beating without fearing pain or getting hurt!

Quite nice.

“Uncle, how did you get the village to accept those zombies?”

Bai Zhengxuan couldn’t resist, finally asking.

The head of Baiyang Village, his childhood friend, used everything he had, even activating cheats (two mysterious people saving the day), to only save part of the villagers.

But the elderly man saved everyone without a single soldier.

And got everyone in the village to accept the presence of zombies.

Such a remarkable achievement could be regarded as the most perfect negotiation in human and zombie history.

“Actually, it’s not hard; those zombies are our own villagers, all related, no one can bear to see their relatives being cut down!”

The elderly man’s cloudy eyes gazed outside, voice tinged with desolation.

“Then why aren’t the people in our village so united and loving?”

Bai Zhengxuan scratched his head.

This scene of unity and love between humans and zombies is quite nice.

He feared zombies the most because he was always afraid they’d take a bite out of him.

If zombies didn’t bite people, Bai Zhengxuan could completely see them as patients who had been seriously ill.

“Because our village doesn’t have a powerful Zombie King to control them, the zombies won’t listen.” Liu Jing sharply pointed out the key issue.

If every city had a Zombie King like the elderly man, there’d be no talk of apocalypse.

“… What did you say?”

The elderly man looked at Liu Jing with a puzzled face, feeling something wasn’t right.

“I said if our village had good people like you, fewer people would have died.”

Liu Jing, seeing the elderly man’s shocked look, rubbed her nose.

Suddenly realizing her words were impolite.

The person was a Zombie King, speaking directly seemed somewhat inappropriate.

“You know there’s a Zombie King controlling zombies in our village?”

The elderly man’s eyes showed some wariness.

Though the village was closed off, they still had a radio.

He listened to the news every day, learning a lot about the apocalypse.

He learned the term Zombie King from the radio, referring to zombies like him.

This family spoke calmly about a Zombie King in the village; does that mean they are…

“You know, right?”

Liu Jing looked at Bai Zhengxuan.

As a forensic doctor, she was worst at communication, unsure if she should acknowledge the elderly man as a Zombie King now!

“Ahem, don’t mind the details, let’s skip over it!”

Bai Zhengxuan lightly coughed, intending to brush it off.

“We know.”

Bai Xiqin looked at the elderly man’s shocked expression, calmly nodded.

The elderly man was a hundred years old, living so long he was best at reading people.

Lie to him, and his good impression of your family would diminish.

Better to openly and frankly admit it.

“…You’re not afraid?”

Old Tao paused in silence, hunched over, showing confusion on his face.

Only the villagers knew he was the Zombie King.

Outsiders only knew there was a powerful zombie in the village, not knowing who, assuming it was one of the grotesque zombies.

But, it was him.

“We’re not.”

The Bai Family unanimously shook their heads.

No reason to be afraid.

“When… did you know?”

Old Tao’s face remained filled with shock.

He thought people would surely tremble in fear, rolling away if they knew he was the Zombie King!

Unexpectedly, this family remained so calm!

“We have known for a long time!” Bai Zhengxuan nonchalantly picked his nose, “We’ve met quite a few Zombie Kings; they’re all good zombies, nothing scary about them!”

Compared to a Zombie King, Bai Zhengxuan feared grotesque ordinary zombies more.

Rotting flesh scared him to the point he’d wear Bai Yifan’s diapers at night!

“You’ve met other… Zombie Kings?”

Old Tao was once again dumbfounded.

“Yeah, we’re friends even! If you’re interested, we can take you to meet them.” Bai Zhengxuan said.

Old Tao’s eyes flickered, wanting to go, but shook his head.

No, the village needed him.

It’s because of him that zombies are subdued here; if he left, what about the villagers!

Old Tao wanted to say more, but heavy footsteps echoed in the village again.

Time had come.

“We should go to work now; do you… want to come and see?”

Old Tao stood up, hesitantly asking the Bai Family.

Knowing they weren’t afraid of zombies, it was better to ask, as many were uncomfortable with them.

“Work?”

The whole Bai Xiqin family was stunned.

Zombies could work?
