CHAPTER 1867: CHAPTER 1860: CLAIRVOYANCE?

Xiǎng Shàn’s tone was eerie, sending a chill down everyone’s spine!

A breeze from an unknown origin felt as if it came from a winter season, causing everyone to shiver! The man with glasses trembled, shouting as his voice grew hoarser and more strained with each word, this fear showing signs of his psychological defense crumbling!

"You’re not joking, right?"

Everyone was looking at Xiang Shan, but he didn’t speak again; he quietly stepped forward through the crowd, walking to the front, and then looked at the street shrouded in the night.

The others also turned their gaze to where Xiang Shan was looking. The street was silent, with no sign of any figure, the night deep and a thick fog had arisen, making everything beyond a hundred meters blurred.

The atmosphere was silent for an indeterminate amount of time, and it was then that Xiang Shan finally spoke, saying in a deep voice, "You should go back."

His words stunned everyone, even Xu Mengyun looked at him in puzzlement.

"What do you mean?"

Xiang Shan’s expression turned somewhat bitter, and he said with uncertainty, "It seems... it’s coming for me?"

"What are you talking about? Why is it after you?"

"I... I don’t know..." Xiang Shan had a look of struggle on his face; he turned to Xu Mengyun and continued, "Sister Mengyun, just to be safe, you should take the children and leave first. If it’s only after me, then you’ll be fine. If its target isn’t just me, then I’ll hold that Zombie King back to give you time to escape."

Xiang Shan’s words brought a deeper silence among the crowd; most agreed with his choice, but abandoning him so easily was difficult for them. Before Xu Mengyun and the other adults could speak, some children called out reluctantly, "Brother Xiang Shan, are you in trouble? Tell us, we will help you!"

Listening to the children’s fearless and innocent words, Xiang Shan’s expression became more complex. At that moment, it seemed as though he had grown a lot, the fear in his heart dissipated somewhat, and he gained the courage to face death!

He responded to the children in a gentle tone, "Thank you all, brother is indeed facing some difficulties now, but don’t worry, brother is very strong too. Believe me, I can overcome the difficulties!"

The children couldn’t detect the underlying comfort in Xiang Shan’s words, and each of them felt reassured.

"Then you won’t be in trouble, right?" a younger girl asked with wide eyes.

"Mm." Xiang Shan nodded firmly, watching the children breathe a sigh of relief, he turned to Xu Mengyun, "You should take them and go first."

At this moment, Xu Mengyun didn’t know what she was thinking, she didn’t speak, and Xiang Shan didn’t wait for her to open her mouth, smiling as he told the children again, "Listen to your sister and the teachers, got it? Brother will come back."

"Okay!" the children shouted in unison.

After the children finished speaking, Xu Mengyun suddenly raised her head and said, "Wait a minute!" Then she looked at Long Yingjia, "Jia, quickly take them to Street 21, Liang Zi has sent people there to pick you up."

"What about you...?" Long Yingjia quickly asked after hearing that, to which Xu Mengyun shook her head, "Don’t worry about me." Then, she looked at Xiang Shan and said in a non-negotiable tone, "You follow me!"

"Where to?" Xiang Shan was puzzled.

"To the City Government entrance of Sky Continent," Xu Mengyun said assertively.

"What for?" Xiang Shan was a bit resistant, living in Cloud Gorge Base; he knew it was the only place of the Level 9 New Human and to be noticed while being a zombie would be like walking into a trap, wouldn’t it?

But Xu Mengyun shook her head; she knew Xiang Shan’s thoughts, but compared to the great mayor figure, the Zombie King was clearly more terrifying. Whether the Zombie King came for Xiang Shan or planned to slaughter everyone here, Xiang’s target was apparent, luring the lurking Zombie King from Cloud Gorge Base to the City Government might not only save everyone but also give Xiang Shan a fighting chance!

"Let’s go." Without giving room for argument, Xu Mengyun took Xiang Shan’s hand, leading him to the nearest ladder, but at this moment, Xiang Shan shook off Xu Mengyun’s hand!

"You..."

"It’s too late..." Xiang Shan seemed helpless, he had sensed something and turned his gaze back to the street ahead. The others looked casually, not yet seeing anything clear, planning to persuade Xiang Shan, but once they turned their heads, they couldn’t turn back!

In the thick night color, a silhouette slowly emerged!

It was the silhouette of a man, his pace neither fast nor slow, the "tat-tat tat-tat" of his footsteps like a countdown with numbers shrinking bit by bit, tugging at everyone’s heart!

As the man approached, the people gradually saw the face shrouded by the night, and a look of shock appeared instantly on the faces of several adults!

"Take them away!" Seeing the man, Xiang Shan shouted at Xu Mengyun, then howled to the sky!

Roar!

The thick and wild zombie howl instantly shattered the silence of the night, countless tendrils erupted from Xiang Shan’s body! Each grotesque bone spike burst through flesh! Curved and deformed, wrapping around his body! Within seconds, Xiang Shan had completely changed appearance.

Distorted, terrifying!

A complete and utter form of a Level 8 zombie!

The newcomer paused upon seeing this scene, seemingly surprised.

"What’s this?" Tang Ye wondered to himself, the Level 8 zombie he was looking for seemed to already know he was coming?

Logically, the other side shouldn’t have sensed him.

And ahead, not only was there the Level 8 zombie present, but many others were around it, mostly hiding behind it, each staring at him warily, as if he were a villain beyond redemption.

Looking at these people, laden with all kinds of bags, it was obvious they were ready to run; the reason wasn’t hard to guess, likely because of him.

What surprised Tang Ye the most was that these people weren’t afraid of the Level 8 zombie, clearly knowing its background already!

Over there, Xu Mengyun and the others were taken aback seeing Tang Ye stop fifty meters away from them, and soon after, Uncle Li uncertainly asked Xiang Shan, "That person... is he the Zombie King you mentioned?"

Xiang Shan didn’t answer, his zombie eyes fixated on every move Tang Ye made, guarding against his next action!

Of course, the words Uncle Li spoke were clear to Tang Ye, increasing his confusion; the Level 8 zombie not only sensed his presence and knew he was coming but also recognized him as the Zombie King!

What is this situation; could the zombie foresee the future?
