Chapter 130 The Lord of the Summer Palace
Long Yangyang used her spatial abilities to conceal their presence and brazenly walked inside, despite the presence of the level seven zombies.
The dust I had imagined was nowhere to be found. With its green tiles and blue bricks, the Summer Palace remained as clean and pristine as ever, as if it had always been meticulously maintained.
“Brother Fu,” they had encountered three groups of zombies along the way, all of them level six zombies. Unlike the scattered zombie hordes they had encountered before, these level six zombies were grouped into groups of six to eight, two in a row, forming a clear line of discipline.
"They look like the guards of an ancient imperial palace that we see on TV." Long Yangyang pointed to the next group of zombies that happened to be passing by.
Fu Muyu nodded. "Let's continue to observe."
The two passed through a palace and were met by the next zombie squad. This zombie squad was different from the ones they had encountered before; there were about twenty level six zombies, and the leader was a level eight zombie.
"Xiao Fei, tell me what's going on." Long Yangyang didn't have Qiu Ling's special abilities and couldn't see the zombie's abilities, so she could only ask Xiao Fei for help.
“Level 8 wind-type zombies,” Xiao Fei replied. “The Summer Palace ancient building complex contains a level 9 zombie king, a mental-type zombie; six level 8 zombie generals; fifty level 7 zombie guards; and more than five hundred level 6 zombie guards.”
"Yangyang, this is the most powerful group of superpowered beings you have encountered so far. I suggest you do not become hostile and prioritize safety."
Long Yangyang: ...So many, no wonder it's a zombie den. How stupid must she be to fight a horde of zombies in the heart of the zombies' stronghold?
"Xiao Fei, do you know where that level nine mental zombie is?" Long Yangyang asked curiously. Mental zombie, huh? But it's different from the level nine lightning and water dual-element zombie they encountered before that killed them. Its intelligence is clearly on a completely different level.
The zombies before him not only had an army, but also their own palace, making him look like a zombie emperor in a summer palace.
If we raise a few more zombie empresses, we could put on a TV series called "Empresses in the Palace" in the Summer Palace.
Xiao Fei provided Long Yangyang with the route to the location of the level nine mental zombie in her mind. After understanding it, Long Yangyang led Fu Muyu there without leaving a trace.
"No, no, Yangyang, you should go left. You're about to reach another fork in the road," Xiaofei reminded Long Yangyang as she was about to go the wrong way.
Long Yangyang looked left and right. All the red bricks and green tiles looked the same. How could she tell which way to go? Long Yangyang had a terrible sense of direction. To put it bluntly, she was hopelessly directionally challenged.
Even with Xiao Fei's reminder, in such a large place as the Summer Palace, they were like headless flies, having no idea which way to go.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Xiao Fei. Please bear with me and remind me immediately if I'm going in the wrong direction."
After countless reminders from Xiao Fei, Long Yangyang finally found the location of the level nine mental system—Yu Kun Palace? Long Yangyang remembered that this palace seemed to be the palace where the Empress of the Summer Palace resided, right? What's going on?
After Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu entered, they found that there wasn't a single patrolling zombie in the palace. Could it be that the psychic zombies were so confident in their strength that they didn't need bodyguards?
"Dad, the sun is shining brightly outside today. Let's take Mom out to enjoy the sun." As the two approached, they heard a slightly childish voice. Although it was a little hesitant, it was clearly a child's voice.
Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu exchanged a glance, and the two walked silently toward the source of the sound, but the boy's words went unanswered.
Instead, a roaring sound came from within—a zombie?
Looking through the half-open window, the two were surprised to find a boy dressed in a white shirt and jeans sitting in the magnificent palace. The boy looked about eight or nine years old, about the same age as Qiu Ling.
The boy had a sweet smile on his delicate face as he spoke to the two zombies, a man and a woman, standing on either side of him. The two zombies had blank stares and occasionally made "roaring" sounds, as if they were echoing the boy's words.
Long Yangyang swallowed hard as she looked at the bizarre yet somewhat heartwarming scene before her.
A level-nine zombie child, and two level-seven zombie parents? Has the whole family turned into zombies?
The boy's clearly visible red pupils starkly revealed his identity: a level nine zombie! He was the zombie king from the Summer Palace.
She's too young to act in "Empresses in the Palace".
"Who?" Long Yangyang and her companion had just stopped when they were met with a mental attack from a level nine zombie.
"Ugh!" Long Yangyang covered her head, her mind momentarily dazed, but she instantly broke free from the mental influence of the level nine zombie, thanks to the peaches from the mutated Azure Sea Immortal Peach Tree that she had been consuming recently, which could increase her mental strength.
Fu Muyu and Long Yangyang's mental strength was already approaching level nine, far exceeding their superpower level. Otherwise, if they had faced the mental attack of this level nine mental zombie, they might have become idiots.
However, affected by the attack of the level nine zombie, Long Yangyang was unable to maintain the spatial ability covering the two of them, and the two were instantly exposed to the level nine zombie.
“Human.” The boy’s crimson pupils stared straight at the two of them, and Long Yangyang felt a chill for no reason, a feeling that sent shivers down her spine.
This child clearly doesn't consider himself to be of the same race as humans, even if he was once human. Long Yangyang sensed hostility in his eyes.
"A level nine psychic zombie." Long Yangyang calmed herself down and looked steadily at the child. "You're different from the level nine zombies I've encountered before. It seems you've regained your human memories. Can you tell me your name?"
“Xie An is the king of this summer palace,” the boy replied.
Long Yangyang: ...When she was eight years old, she also fantasized about being a little princess in the palace. Now, hearing Xie An's words, she felt a strong wave of adolescent angst washing over her. Although what this child is saying is the truth for now.
"Xie An, is that right?" Long Yangyang tried to communicate with this person.
"How dare you! You should address me as Prince Xie An."
Long Yangyang: ...Don't be angry, he's just a child after all. Let's just call him Prince Xie An.
“Alright, Prince Xie An, is this your home?” Long Yangyang asked.
“Of course, I woke up here, my subjects all submit to me, this is my palace, and I am the king here,” Xie An replied, tossing his head.
"Considering you're new here, I'll forgive you for trespassing. Next time, I'll just have my zombie army devour you."
Long Yangyang: ...Should I go along with this kid's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?
"Kid, you're so awesome, do your parents know?"
