"You're very tactful this time. Originally, your life and death had nothing to do with me. However, seeing that you've been rather well-behaved during this period of time and haven't done anything too out of line, I wanted to give you some pointers …"
Standing on the dock, Zhang Xiaoqiang was talking to Xue Feng with fervor and assurance. Xue Feng had regathered his blood-red armor and looked majestic. Perhaps it was because his armor had been destroyed again and again that he had lost his confidence. He didn't wear a helmet or mask when he talked to Zhang Xiaoqiang, which exposed his face to the girls. For some reason, Xiangyu 'er, who had always thought that she had lost all hope, felt her heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with her small hands and looked at Xue Feng in an unnatural way. Xue Feng's whole mind was on Zhang Xiaoqiang. Her two-meter-tall body was slightly hunched and lowered to the same height as Zhang Xiaoqiang, or even a little lower. She was treating Zhang Xiaoqiang respectfully like a Japanese. She glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands from time to time, afraid that Zhang Xiaoqiang would take out a knife and cut off her handsome head.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't touch her as Xue Feng thought he would. Instead, he seriously pointed out his worries about Xue Feng's unfathomable future. He didn't care whether Xue Feng listened to him or not. He almost said that he was the Goddess of Mercy who had saved Xue Feng from the fire and water. Xue Feng was a little absent-minded. She listened to Zhang Xiaoqiang's nonsense and waited for the main topic. She was still thinking that Zhang Xiaoqiang was Zhuo Mingyue's husband. Why was a husband so much worse than a wife?
Could it be that Zhang Xiaoqiang married into their family?
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know that Xue Feng had already received Zhuo Mingyue's order. As long as he asked, Xue Feng would agree. He thought that Xue Feng's thoughtful look was a sign that she was interested in him. Xue Feng was still trying to sell the so-called safety concept to Xue Feng like a salesman before the doomsday. Xue Feng was still listening to his nonsense. 'It seems that Mrs. Zhuo doesn't want Zhang Xiaoqiang to know that she asked him to come. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allies, they would be seeking refuge. Could it be that Mrs. Zhuo wants to save some money and doesn't want her husband to know?'
Then he quickly threw these inexplicable thoughts out of his mind. These were all the memories he had when he occupied the human body. It was also these memories that allowed him to understand the emotions of humans. However, he would not truly immerse himself in these things. He still had the primal instincts that were engraved in his bones. Survival and strength were the core instincts of zombies. Even though he had left the ranks of zombies, he still could not get rid of these instincts that were deeply embedded in his soul.
"What do you think of what I said?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's mouth was dry. He felt that it was about time. He changed the topic and asked Xue Feng. Xue Feng seemed to be hypnotized and didn't move. Zhang Xiaoqiang pushed him and Xue Feng immediately came back to his senses. He lowered his head and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang is right. But what do you want me to do?"
This was what Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to hear the most. He didn't care that Xue Feng wasn't a real human. He patted Xue Feng's shoulder, which was even higher than his head. Xue Feng had to bend his waist again so that Zhang Xiaoqiang could pat more comfortably.
"I need to find a way for you to survive. If we work together, we will both benefit. If we split up, you will lose. I don't like the sea of zombies. Rather than letting you be eaten by an opponent that I don't understand, it's better for you to cooperate and kill everyone that can harm you …"
Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at the respectful expression on Xue Feng's face and spoke seriously. In his heart, he was grumbling, "After this is over, I'll see if there's a chance to kill you as well …"
Xue Feng had never trusted Zhang Xiao Qiang, but he had come today because he had no other choice. If he had come, Zhang Xiao Qiang might have killed him. But if he hadn't come, Zhuo Mingyue would have beaten him to a pulp. At the very least, he would have been able to enjoy himself.
"No problem. I will do whatever Zhang Xiaoqiang says. As long as you say it, I will do whatever you want me to do …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Xue Feng in surprise. Although he knew that Xue Feng was afraid of him, there was no need to talk like this.
What he didn't know was that Xue Feng wasn't afraid of him, but his wife in name. When Xue Feng expressed her full cooperation, Zhang Xiao Qiang started to suspect that something was wrong with her. After that, he used all sorts of words to test her, only to find that she was still as dumb as before, causing him to scratch his head in confusion. Had she reached the limit of her stupidity?
"Ahem … Well, since you understand what I mean, I won't say any more nonsense. What do you think about the current situation?
You and your zombies have become dumpling fillings. If I didn't show up, you would have died. The only difference is that you would have died a few days earlier, and you would have died a few days later. Tell me what you think. "
Xue Feng was worried after Zhang Xiaoqiang's warning, but he didn't trust Zhang Xiaoqiang at that time. He didn't think that Zhang Xiaoqiang had any good intentions. Of course, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't have any good intentions, so Xue Feng became like an ostrich. As long as the knife didn't cut his head, he didn't care about the possible danger. Even if Zhang Xiaoqiang threatened to cut off the connection between the two sides, he didn't care. In his mind, Zhang Xiaoqiang on the other side of the Yangtze River might not be as kind as the sea of zombies that wanted to eat him.
"This … Brother Cockroach, let me put it this way. I only appeared after you killed this deity. If we go by age, my actual age is less than half a month. What do you expect me, who isn't even a month old, to say?"
Xue Feng's expression was very innocent, and his words were very shameless. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked deeply at Xue Feng and shook his head. He felt that Xue Feng was the real cunning one. He had almost made a mistake in his judgment.
"Well, now that you have taken the initiative to form an alliance with me, what is your plan?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang had lost his patience, so he took the initiative to change the topic. Xue Feng raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Of course I want to unite with your army and fight together. Don't worry, I will make my zombies listen to you. They have been suffering from indigestion recently, and they feel disgusted at the sight of meat. You don't have to worry about eating people …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang almost kicked Xue Feng into the river. Did anyone with a brain say that?
Seeing the anger in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, Xue Feng thought for a while and thought of another idea, "Why don't I retreat here … If something goes wrong, I will cross the river …" Xue Feng had always suspected that Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to recruit his zombies, which was why he was so enthusiastic about forming an alliance with him. If it was before, he would never agree, but now Zhuo Mingyue made him really scared. Compared to his own life, zombies were nothing. Now that he was considered one of Zhuo Mingyue's people, even if Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to kill him, Zhuo Mingyue would be his guarantor.
"Won't you attract zombies and mutant beasts?
Don't think about crossing the river when you fall, I will be dragged down by you. You know, mutant beasts all climb out of the water … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head, this was a rotten idea. Xue Feng thought of the source of the mutant beasts. Retreating to the dock would only allow the mutant beasts to cut off his path of retreat.
"Then I'll hide far away and let the zombies and the Mutant Beasts kill each other, and wait for them to perish together …" Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at this shameless fellow in a daze. There were tens of millions of zombies, but the Mutant Beasts at most numbered less than a million. Currently, there were less than a hundred thousand Mutant Beasts on the other side of the river. The number of Mutant Beasts in the ocean was not limitless, and the reports from the recon planes indicated that the scale of the Mutant Beast horde had decreased, and the numerous whirlpools in the ocean had also prevented the Mutant Beasts from coming over.
"You can hold on until now with only a million zombies, but there are tens of millions of zombies on the other side. Do you think the mutant beasts can win?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words were like a wake-up call to Xue Feng. If that was really the case, he would really become a delicacy for the Z-type zombies. Shanghai was now a treasure trove for the zombies. Countless corpses were rotting, but the zombies would not mind the rotten flesh. Who knew how many millions of zombies would appear?
At that time …
"Then what do you think we should do?
I can't do this, I can't do that. How about I just surrender to you with the zombies … "Xue Feng had given up. She was stuck between Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhuo Mingyue, and there were mutant beasts and zombies on the side. She was a short-sighted guy, and now she was at her wit's end.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not believe what Xue Feng had said. In his mind, Xue Feng was still the same old cunning guy. Even if Xue Feng occasionally showed weakness, he still thought that she was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. But his goal was not to cooperate with Xue Feng, but to use Xue Feng to clear the sea of zombies. In this way, he could temporarily clear the largest gathering place of zombies in China.
