Chapter 325: Because She Was Happy

"Maybe it’s because my level has increased a bit."

Leng Yebai paused and continued absorbing the crystal core.

The higher the level of a zombie, the more human-like it becomes in appearance.

His face is currently covered in decaying flesh, but once his level reaches a certain point, he guarantees he’ll look much better than Zhang Yiming, that pretty boy.

Zhang Yiming slightly tilted his head, taking a deep look at Leng Yebai, whose face showed slight changes.

His future self said that some people, after turning into zombies, would become human again.

Such people, their brain’s crystal core contains zombie virus antibodies.

In other words, that person’s crystal core could be the key to curing zombies.

Such a crystal core would become a target worldwide, for both survivors and zombies.

Zhang Yiming’s delicate brows furrowed, once again feeling the urge to strangle Leng Yebai.

Jealousy, real jealousy.

Beyond jealousy, there’s worry.

Not worried about Leng Yebai, but worried about Xiao Niu.

If Leng Yebai becomes coveted by the entire world, Xiao Niu will definitely get involved too.

Zhang Yiming slightly closed his eyes, carefully sensing.

Besides the Fan Family couple washing up in the next yard, there were no other humans.

Under the moonlight, some zombies quietly left the yard, moving away from where the Bai Family currently resided.

After confirming there was neither others nor zombies nearby, Zhang Yiming spoke.

"Xiao Niu, you guys should stay in the village for a while longer. Leng Yebai might have zombie virus antibodies in his body, and in some time, he might turn back into a human."

Zhang Yiming pondered a moment, deciding to share what he knew with Bai Xiqin and her family.

Only if they understood the importance of the zombie virus antibodies would they be cautious of others.

Most importantly, they mustn’t let others see Leng Yebai turn from a zombie back into a human.

Otherwise, it would definitely bring endless trouble.

As for that masked man, in Zhang Yiming’s mind, he’s already a dead man.

"What? You, say what?"

Leng Yebai suddenly stood up, his decaying face full of shock.

He thought the best outcome was becoming like Zhang Yiming, a zombie looking almost human.

If he could really become human...

His dead heart seemed to come alive again.

"Really? That’s wonderful!"

Bai Yifan almost jumped up.

No one hoped more than anyone that Leng Yebai would turn back into a human. Leng Yebai was injured saving Bai Yifan and Bai Anhai.

Bai Yifan always felt that maybe because he was too weak and a burden, Brother Leng turned into a zombie.

Though he didn’t say it, he always felt guilty inside.

Bai Xiqin’s dark eyes suddenly glistened, staring at Zhang Yiming motionlessly, face full of joy.

"Really?"

Bai Xiqin almost jumped in excitement.

Whether human or zombie, Leng Yebai was still him.

But as a zombie, he wasn’t happy; if possible, she’d prefer Leng Yebai to be human again.

Zhang Yiming looked at Bai Xiqin, whose face was full of joy, and couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips.

She’s happy because of Leng Yebai.

He’s happy because she’s happy.

"It’s very likely true, but you must be careful, absolutely don’t let others know Leng Yebai was once a zombie. He’d easily become a target!" Zhang Yiming seriously warned.

If Leng Yebai were captured and dissected, Zhang Yiming might be pleased.

Involving Bai Xiqin made Zhang Yiming much more cautious.

"Right, indeed, we can’t let others know!"

Bai Xiqin nodded vigorously.

She clearly understood how crazy people could be in this post-apocalyptic world.

Almost every faction wants to explore human secrets and be at the forefront.

"If I really have zombie virus antibodies inside me, could other zombies become human?" Leng Yebai suddenly asked.

"Maybe!" Zhang Yiming lazily leaned on the chair. "But it probably requires extracting your crystal core to get the antibodies."

Zhang Yiming spoke lightly, but clearly, each word reached everyone’s ears.

Sounding the alarm for them.

"Brother Leng, from today on, don’t go out casually." Bai Yifan said seriously to Leng Yebai, "I’ll protect you until you become human!"

Bai Yifan spoke firmly, with a heroic demeanor.

"No."

Leng Yebai shook his head with a calm expression.

Bai Yifan: ???

"I want Xiao Niu to protect me!"

Leng Yebai’s lips curled upward, silently moving his chair closer to Bai Xiqin.

He looked weak, seeking help.

"Alright, I’ll protect you!" Bai Xiqin reached out and patted Leng Yebai on the shoulder.

Leng Yebai’s lips curled up wildly, giving a challenging look to Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming: ....

This guy is such a jerk, how hasn’t anyone beaten him to death?

"Huh?"

Bai Xiqin suddenly felt something unusual when she patted Leng Yebai.

There seemed to be a small bump on Leng Yebai’s shoulder, like a fractured bone.

"What’s this? How do you feel?"

Bai Xiqin placed her hand back on Leng Yebai’s shoulder, pressing it. The bone seemed to move up and down, like an unhealed fracture.

"No sensation."

Leng Yebai shook his head slightly.

The pretty boy said he might likely become a human, but now he’s a zombie without any feeling.

"Grandma, look at this!"

Bai Xiqin pressed Leng Yebai’s shoulder a few times.

Like a switch pressed and released.

Quite fun.

"Let me see!"

Liu Jing came over, smiling.

Compared to a human son-in-law, she thought a Zombie King son-in-law was rather stylish.

But a human son-in-law is easier for family harmony, less likely to be cheated on.

Cough, cough, after all, she yearned for great-grandchildren!

Liu Jing pressed Leng Yebai’s shoulder, immediately noticing the bone was different from a human’s.

She had only seen such a bone in one dead body.

That was a teen who had fallen from a dozen stories high.

"Xiao Leng, is your arm fractured or broken by someone?"

Liu Jing frowned.

Lucky for Leng Yebai, he had no sensation, otherwise enduring such pain would be impossible for a normal person.

"...I don’t think so?"

Leng Yebai glanced at Zhang Yiming, uncertain.

He knew that after arriving at Zhang Yiming’s place, his arm had been severely painful.

He thought it might be a sign of becoming a zombie, but couldn’t rule out Zhang Yiming beating him.

"The last time you came to my yard, you rode your motorcycle into the wall, almost collapsing it, probably then!"

Zhang Yiming spoke sincerely, honestly.

If he didn’t say so, no one would know Leng Yebai’s arm was crushed by him.

If heaven gave him another chance, he thought he’d do it differently.

Perhaps he’d break his legs instead, all three of them.

"Never mind, since you’re still a zombie, I’ll dissect you... do surgery, waiting till you’re human might be too late!"

Liu Jing smiled kindly at Leng Yebai, her fingers itching to move.
