Even though Luan Qing Xiao knew that Nie Zhen'er was the zombie leader and would be fine falling into the swarm of zombies, hearing Nie Zhen'er's screams still made her very angry and worried.



The anger was directed at You Yao, while the worry was for Nie Zhen'er.



She grabbed the arm of You Yao who wanted to leave. Her strength was strong that her nails basically dug into the flesh of her arm.



In pain, You Yao tried to shrug Luan Qing Xiao off. However, she couldn't get rid of her no matter what, "You, let me go!"



Luan Qing Xiao stated grimly, "You still want to escape?"



After finished speaking, she dragged You Yao and walked toward the swarm of zombies on the carousel.



You Yao realized what Luan Qing Xiao wanted to do and trembled in fear, "You can't do this, we will both die!"



"Since you can push Zhen'er into the zombie swarm, why can't you get in yourself? That'll make things fair, right?" Luan Qing Xiao didn’t hesitate in her strides.



You Yao was a fire-type ability user, so she attempted to stop Luan Qing Xia by using fire to burn her. However, the flame was blocked by a layer and didn’t even touch Luan Qing Xiao’s skin. You Yao’s legs turned soft and fell to the ground as Luan Qing Xiao continued to drag her forward.



Finally, You Yao couldn't help breaking down and crying, "I was wrong, I really understand my mistake. Let me go, alright—"



"Nope." Why should she be easily forgiven with a simple apology?



By now, it has been thirty seconds since Nie Zhen'er was pushed into the zombie swarm. When Nie Zhen'er was first entered, the zombies panicked for a while. Nevertheless, by the time Luan Qing Xiao approached closer, things had returned to normal.



The carousel was densely packed with zombies with Nie Zhen'er's thin figure nowhere in sight.



"Zhen’er, don't be afraid, I'll come in and rescue you right away." Luan Qing Xiao shouted.



You Yao had given up hope and allowed herself to be dragged by Luan Qing Xiao into the  zombies like a dead fish.



A cold, suffocating and nauseous feeling enveloped her as You Yao trembled all over while she produced a layer of flames on herself to isolate the zombies.



Despite that, there were too many zombies and her ability is only Level 2. Moreover, the energy that can be stored in the body is limited and doesn’t last long.



Soon, her abilities ran out, causing the flames on You Yao to go out bit by bit. The zombies caught the scent of her body and shouted hysterically as their scorched black claws continued to slash at You Yao.



Nie Zhen'er didn't expect that she would be sneak attacked. After she fell into the zombie group, the zombies panicked for a while because of the pressure from her body. Not knowing what to do, Nie Zhen'er hurriedly restored them to their original condition.



Sitting in the middle and surrounded by zombies, she was currently at a loss of how she was going to explain to Luan Qing Xiao if she exited unscathed when she heard Luan Qing Xiao saying she’s coming in to rescue her.



It was too late for Nie Zhen’er to stop Luan Qing Xiao, so she could only immediately order the zombies not to hurt Luan Qing Xiao.



She didn't know You Yao was also dragged in by Luan Qing Xiao. Following the sound of Luan Qing Xiao's voice, she started walking out and just happened to see countless zombies clawing You Yao's body. Nie Zhen'er subconsciously commanded the zombies to stop their movements.



With dirt covering her entire body and a wound on her arm from Luan Qing Xiao, You Yao’s appearance was rather horrendous.



"You Yao, where is Qing Xiao? Have you seen her?" Nie Zhen'er frowned and asked.



Just now, she realized her falling into the zombie swarm back then was most likely the work of You Yao.



And in order to help her get revenge, Luan Qing Xiao yanked You Yao in.



You Yao gasped heavily with tears falling down her eyes, "Luan Qing Xiao, she’s a demon!"



Nie Zhen'er’s face turned cold, "What qualifications do you have to say that others are demons when you’re harming them first?"



You Yao glared at Nie Zhen'er hatefully and saw the zombies were avoiding her. Her eyes dilated, "Nie Zhen'er, why don't the zombies dare to approach you? Could it be that you're a zombie?"



You Yao's gaze became more and more suspicious.



"Have you seen a zombie like me?" Nie Zhen'er lifted the prohibition on zombies approaching You Yao before she turned around and headed in the other direction, "Before doing evil things, you must understand that you will pay the price eventually."



"Ah!" Numerous sharp claws mercilessly scratched You Yao. Before long, You Yao had become a bloodied figure.



Since You Yao was an ability user, Nie Zhen'er didn't want her to become a zombie so she ordered the zombies not to bite her.



Nie Zhen'er vaguely smelled Luan Qing Xiao's body fragrance, and slowly moved in her direction. Finally she saw Luan Qing Xiao who was also searching for something.



"Qing Xiao!" Nie Zhen'er's eyes turned a little hot.



When Luan Qing Xiao heard Nie Zhen'er calling her and turned her head to see Nie Zhen'er pouting aggrievedly, she suddenly smiled.



Luan Qing Xiao ran over to Nie Zhen'er and embraced her tightly.



"Qing Xiao..." Nie Zhen'er called out her name softly.



"I'm here." Luan Qing Xiao's hand stroked Nie Zhen'er's back, comforting her.



The zombie swarm opened up a circle to them, pushing and pushing until eventually some zombies fell from the merry go round’s platform.



The fallen zombies didn’t stay in place, but immediately turned around and made their way inside the theme park, staggering and roaring from time to time.



"Qing Xiao," Nie Zhen'er hesitantly uttered against Luan Qing Xiao's ear, "Don't you wonder why the zombies aren't attacking the two of us?"



Luan Qing Xiao released her arms and lifted her hands to caress Nie Zhen'er's cheeks, "Does Zhen'er want to tell me why?"



Nie Zhen'er nodded earnestly, "I want to tell you one thing, Qing Xiao."



"Okay, go ahead." Luan Qing Xiao watched her with a tender gaze.



Nie Zhen'er looked into Luan Qing Xiao's eyes, "To be honest, I’m not a human being, but a zombie leader. All these zombies listen to me, that’s why they didn't attack you."



"It turned out to be like this." Luan Qing Xiao's tone was light without any surprise or fear.



Moreover, she didn't think Nie Zhen'er was lying or teasing her.



Nie Zhen'er was surprised when she saw her reaction, "Qing Xiao, are-are you not afraid of me?" Her clear starry eyes stared at Luan Qing Xiao closely.



"Zhen’er, didn’t I say I like you?"



Nie Zhen'er nodded.



Luan Qing Xiao said,  "How can I be afraid of the person I like? Zhen'er, I love you, meaning your soul, whether you are human or the zombie king, my feelings for you will not change in any way."



A layer of crystal tears covered Nie Zhen'er's eyes as teardrops fell down with a light blink of her eyes.



"Qing Xiao, I love you too. I love you so much." Nie Zhen'er rushed into Luan Qing Xiao's arms and buried her face into Luan Qing Xiao's chest, nuzzling hard against her.



Luan Qing Xiao raised Nie Zhen'er's face and wanted to kiss her, but was interrupted by You Yao who suddenly broke into the circle.



"Nie Zhen'er, I beg you, please let me go..." You Yao fell to the ground covered in blood. Her voice dulled and her beautiful face ruined by the zombies with no uninjured skin in sight.



Falling onto the ground, she lifted her head with difficulty, pleading Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er shook her head, "I can’t." You Yao has already begun to doubt her identity. If she saved You Yao, she would be harming herself.



Nie Zhen'er still wants to spend a lifetime with Luan Qing Xiao, so she won't put herself in a disadvantaged position just for a villain.
