Zombies like the taste of raw meat and blood, but as the top evolutionary among zombies, ordinary food can no longer satisfy his appetite.
Shang Ke has been experimenting for several days without any progress. Whether it is animals or plants, Di Kui is not very interested. He would eat whatever Shang Ke asked him to eat, and he was very cooperative, but he generally wouldn't try the same thing a second time.
If it was just like that, it would be fine. Shang Ke had patience, and sooner or later he would be able to find food that suits the Zombie King’s taste. The two walked together and collected food from all over the world. Everything seemed so beautiful and harmonious. However, the reality was always cruel.
One time, Shang Ke asked Di Kui to taste a spicy food, but as soon as he entered it, Di Kui went berserk, slapped it with a slap, and directly shattered Shang Ke's internal organs.
Shang Ke fell into a pool of blood, and before he had time to experience the pain of death, he had already started the sour mode of resurrection from the dead.
The smell of blood caused the nearby zombies to move.
Di Kui stood beside Shang Ke's "corpse" with a ferocious face, his eyes flickered with fierce light, and with a low roar, the zombies immediately kept silent and dared not approach.
Shang Ke, who was repairing the wound, breathed a sigh of relief, and at least avoided being dismembered again. His ability to withstand death has risen to a height that is unattainable for mortals, and the requirements for the method of death have dropped to as long as it is not too bloody and not too painful...
After five hours, the body repaired. This time "just" the internal organs were ruptured, so the repair time was relatively short.
Shang Ke sat up from the ground, took out a towel from his bag with a calm expression, soaked it with water magic, wiped the blood on his skin, and then changed into a set of clean clothes.
"Okay?" Di Kui squatted on a stone pier and looked down at Shang Ke.
"Okay." Shang Ke replied calmly.
Both the murderer and the murdered displayed a detached peace of mind.
"Go ahead." Di Kui's mouth still had the spicy taste that made him irritable, and he was very upset.
"Let's go here first today, here's this for you." Shang Ke handed him a piece of chewing gum, which was found from a new zombie.
Di Kui took it, peeled off the wrapping paper, threw the wrapping paper into his mouth, and threw the chewing gum on the ground, and immediately realized that it was wrong, spit out the wrapping paper in his mouth, jumped off the stone pier, and picked up the chewing gum that he threw on the ground, Put it back in your mouth.
Shang Ke: "… "
Although zombies are not a hygienic species, seeing this kind of behavior is still a little unbearable. This guy is also a zombie king anyway, dare he have a little taste and demeanor as a zombie king!
It can still be seen that he chewed hard, kept silent wisely, packed up the items on the ground, and planned to continue this ferocious food journey.
In Qizhen City, a farm near the suburbs, two modified off-road vehicles are driving on the ground with potholes.
"The harvest is good this time, and I can exchange for a batch of rich materials when I go back." A bald head smiled and said to the companion behind him in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle in front.
"It's all thanks to Brother Tuobin." A thin man in the back seat turned his head to the brown-haired man beside him and smiled shyly, his eyes full of admiration.
The brown-haired man stretched his body and leaned on the seat, holding a beautiful blond girl in his arms. He didn't respond to the flattery of the thin man, but the blond girl in his arms smiled and said, "Cheng Hua, you too Very capable, this time I was able to invite Brother Dong Bin, he is a rare eighth-level ability user in the base."
Human abilities are divided into nine levels, the lowest being the first level and the highest being the ninth level. But there are exceptions, that is the "protagonist" Huo Xuan, his strength far exceeds the ninth level, reaching the unique human king level.
"That's Brother Bin giving me face, and I will definitely repay Brother Bin in the future." The thin man known as "Cheng Hua" still smiled shyly.
At this moment, the man in charge of driving with a short head suddenly reminded: "There is someone ahead."
Everyone stopped talking and looked out of the car window at the same time, and saw a slender figure appeared by the farmland a few hundred meters ahead. Roasting something.
Someone is actually making a fire and roasting things in the wilderness where zombies are infested. Isn't this courting death
"Slow down and see if it's a human or a zombie." Brother Bin ordered.
The man driving the car nodded and slowly drove towards the other party's location.
The modified off-roader makes no noise, just the thump of bumps.
The people in Tanabe sensed their approach and turned to look at them. A handsome face came into the sight of everyone in the car.
The bald head in the passenger seat praised: "I didn't expect to be a handsome boy."
Brother Bin also took a few more glances, but he did not relax his vigilance. He looked around, and his mental power was highly concentrated. After a while, a puzzled look appeared on his face. Strange, I can't even feel the breath of zombies. His perception can reach three kilometers away, and there has never been a situation where there is not a single zombie within three kilometers.
Even high-level zombies with invisibility can't block the breath of all zombies three kilometers away. So, is there really no zombies in this area
Or... Brother Bin turned his gaze back to the man in Tanabe, and he cleaned up all the zombies around him
It was Shang Ke who was grilling by the field. When he saw two off-road vehicles parked in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Brother, alone? Would you like to hitch a ride?" The bald-headed man put his elbows on the car window and said to Shang Ke with a smile.
His tone was teasing, obviously just a casual question without sincerity. Whether or not to let a stranger in the car is not up to him.
"No need." Shang Ke responded indifferently, but in his heart he hoped that they would leave quickly and not stay here.
"Tsk, it's quite arrogant." The bald man's face was a little unhappy, and he was about to make a few sarcastic words, but was attracted by the aroma of the barbecue in his hands.
Shang Ke was grilling fish, this kind of food for mortals, although a zombie king didn't like to eat it, Shang Ke couldn't get tired of eating it. And under the stimulation of the Zombie King, his craftsmanship is more sophisticated, and even simple ingredients can make emperor-level deliciousness.
The aroma of the barbecue made the mercenaries who had been sleeping in the open air for two or three months speak loudly.
At this time, Brother Bin said, "Ask him if he is willing to cook us a barbecue, and we can exchange some supplies with him."
Brother Bin could ask directly, but he asked the bald head to do it for him, as if he intended to show his identity in front of Shang Ke.
"No time." Shang Ke simply refused. Comrades, hurry up and leave before it gets dark!
Shang Ke was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't speak clearly. Di Kui is nearby, if it makes him unhappy, it doesn't matter if he is killed, he can be resurrected anyway, but there is no chance for this group of people to come back!
"Don't be too arrogant!" The bald man said angrily, "Do you know who this person is in the car? He is the brother of Boss Huo, the eighth-level power user Song Bin."
"Funeral"? How hard did his parents think to give him such an unlucky name? Don't say he's just Huo Xuan's brother, even if Huo Xuan comes in person, he has to leave me quickly!
Shang Ke thought for a while and replied, "It turned out to be Huo Xuan's brother, I'm sorry. But I really don't have time to make barbecue for you. If you don't mind, I will give you the prepared copies. I wish you all the best. It's a smooth journey." He will find Huo Xuan in the future, and he doesn't want to be too stiff with his people.
These mercenaries are not some villains who bully others. Seeing that Shang Ke gave in, he was no longer embarrassed. He took his grilled fish and waved goodbye.
Before leaving, Song Bin said to Shang Ke, "You can come and find me at the Survivor Base in the future." This promise was a thanks to him for giving him the grilled fish.
The promise of an eighth-level ability user is considered important to anyone. What Shang Ke valued was his relationship with Huo Xuan, and he might be able to get to know Huo Xuan through him in the future.
Watching the two off-road vehicles leave, Shang Ke turned his head and was shocked to see Di Kui appearing beside him.
"You gave my food to someone else." Di Kui's tone was flat, his eyes gloomy.
To be fair, that's my food, not yours, you don't like it at all!
Shang Ke complained in his heart, but said, "Such unpalatable food is delivered as soon as it is delivered, don't worry about it."
"Even if my food is thrown away, I can't give it away." Di Kui's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
It was still obvious that he was about to kill someone, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Di Kui, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"ask."
"Why do you want to kill?"
Di Kui gave him a strange look: "Why can't I kill someone?"
"Other zombies kill people because they treat humans as food, which is predation. You don't like to eat human flesh, so why do you kill people?"
Di Kui was silent for a while, and finally came up with a reason: "Kill them, and what they have will be mine, aren't you helping me collect ingredients? Many abandoned cities don't have ingredients, but humans must have them."
A zombie king who is so powerful that he ignores the rules is so arrogant.
Shang Ke continued to persuade: "There are many ways to obtain ingredients, not necessarily killing people."
"How to do it?"
"Next time I encounter humans, let me try it. If I can get new ingredients from them smoothly, I don't need to trouble the king to do it himself."
"Too slow."
"I will try my best!" Shang Ke's tone was extremely firm.
Di Kui took a deep look at him and said lightly, "Then you can go."
Di Kui did what he said, and that night he brought Shang Ke to catch up with Song Bin and his party, put him in an alley less than 300 meters away from the other party, and signaled that he could go.
Shang Ke really wanted to cry without tears! They can wait until the next time they encounter other mercenary groups before taking action! Why do you have to choose this one? He just refused to go with others not long ago, and now he appears in front of them again, isn't this sick
Besides, Song Bin and his party were obviously planning to go back to the base. He finally took Di Kui crooked, but he didn't want to be screwed up by them.
However, Di Kui had made up his mind and wanted to see how Shang Ke could get the ingredients from these humans.
Shang Ke could only touch his nose, walked out of the alley, and walked slowly to the location of the mercenary group, praying for himself while praying for these unlucky guys...
