CH 69

As Li Zhen stepped forward, Fang He stretched out his head and looked around carefully. There were not many zombies around, but most of them were mutant zombies that gathered in one direction very quickly.

When they got closer, Fang He could already see the giant crater that was smashed by the meteorite in the distance. There were some zombies around the giant pit. There were dozens of them, but Fang He clearly felt the pressure. These were all mutant zombies, furthermore, they were also mutant zombies that could activate their abilities without restrictions around the energy field of the meteorite. 

Fang He moved his body, then he rubbed his head against Li Zhen’s neck. Li Zhen looked down at him, and Fang He hurriedly asked in a low voice, “How do you feel?”

Li Zhen didn’t speak, he just stretched out his hand to hold Fang He’s head, and stuffed Fang He into his clothes.

Fang He was sealed in his clothes and did not dare move. He perked up his ears and listened to the situation outside, but apart from Li Zhen’s footsteps and the loud sounds of the mutant zombies in the distance, there was no other sound.

Fang He cat claw cut out a small hole in Li Zhen’s clothes. His cat eyes looked out from the hole, they were now getting closer and closer to the zombies. Fang He also saw zombie Xiao Sang with Xiao Baiqiu on his head from the hole, and among the mutant zombies, the white fur on top of his head was very conspicuous. 

When Li Zhen walked to the big crater smashed by the meteorite, Fang He could see the meteorite in the big crater. The huge impact of the meteorite when it hit the ground made half of the entire meteorite buried on the ground.

It’s been at least a night and half since the meteorite has fallen. Many of these mutant zombies must have been attracted to it from the very beginning, but why did they just surrounded it from the outside? The more Fang He looked at it, the more bizarre he felt, except that the meteorite was affecting the zombies, he couldn’t feel anything unusual at all.

At this moment, Xiao Baiqiu, who was standing on top of zombie Xiao Sang, suddenly moved and jumped from zombie Xiao Sang’s head. But before it could even land, it was slammed back by a powerful force, and the little one rolled directly in the air, barely falling back on the head of zombie Xiao Sang.

After Xiao Baiqiu’s body stabilized, his whole body was alert, then he snorted at the mutant zombies surrounding the giant pit, and its voice was full of threats.

But Xiao Baiqiu’s action triggered the roaring response of all the zombies around except for Zombie Xiao Sang.

Fang He’s cat claws grasping Li Zhen’s clothes tightly. He was guessing the meaning of these mutant zombies, is this to intimidate Xiao Baiqiu to not move? Isn’t all the mutant zombies want to get this meteorite, so why isn’t there any infighting? From Fang He’s point of view, if these zombies can fight each other to death, then they will handle all the work.

However, after these zombies roared, they stood independently without any movement.

When Fang He wanted to ask Li Zhen, Li Zhen suddenly lifted his feet and walked down. When Fang He poked his head out of Li Zhen’s clothes in shock, he was surprised to find that Li Zhen was not attacked by the mutant zombies around him?! 

Li Zhen walked in the air towards the meteorite step by step . Fang He nervously stared at the surrounded zombies, always ready to get Li Zhen enter the space. If so many mutant zombies attacked Li Zhen together, the scene would be unimaginable.

Just when Li Zhen reached out his hand and was about to touch the meteorite, Fang He had an indescribable fear, and that feeling made the fur all over his body stand up. He suddenly jumped out of Li Zhen’s clothes, and his cat paw slapped Li Zhen’s hand fiercely, preventing Li Zhen from touching the meteorite. 

However, when Fang He fell to the ground, and wanted to tell Li Zhen how he felt, it was already too late. After Fang He knocked down one of his hands, Li Zhen touched the meteorite again with his other hand. Then Fang He suddenly felt a powerful power from Li Zhen, which almost made him tremble, but that power was only for a moment and then it disappeared.

“Li Zhen!” Fang He called nervously, but Li Zhen had already held the meteorite in both hands, and he closed his eyes without even looking at him.

Fang He glared at Li Zhen, and called Li Zhen’s name again, expecting Li Zhen to give some reaction, but Li Zhen didn’t react at all. Fang He clenched his teeth suddenly, and his cat paw slapped the meteorite. The only way Fang He could think of now was to put the meteorite into the space and temporarily cut off the connection between Li Zhen and the meteorite.

But Fang He’s cat paw was blasted out by a force before Fang He’s cat paw even touched the meteorite. Fang He’s abilities were not worth mentioning in the face of this powerful force, and Fang He’s body was directly blasted outside of the crater, and was caught by Zombie Xiao Sang, who reached out before he hit the ground. 

Fortunately, this power only prevented him from touching the meteorite, and didn’t destroy him, otherwise he would definitely turn into a meat slag instantly.

Fang He got up from Xiao Sang’s arms. When he wanted to rush over again, Xiao Baiqiu rushed over, and its small body squeezed beside Fang He. The kitten’s paws pressed against Fang He and it made a purring sound. Its black cat eyes looked at Li Zhen and turned back again, then glared at Fang He, as if warning him not to go there.

Fang He suddenly understood that it was the zombies around him that stopped him from moving. Except for Li Zhen, these mutant zombies stopped anyone or anything from touching the meteorite.

So, what is the purpose of these zombies? Xiao Baiqiu was powerful, and it was not allowed to approach, but why did Li Zhen get approval as soon as he passed? 

Fang He’s cat claws stretched and stretched again, accumulating strength, then he suddenly disappeared from zombie Xiao Sang’s arms, and instantly appeared in Li Zhen’s arms. Just when his cat claws were about to touch the meteorite, Fang He was once again blasted out by that force.

This time, Fang He, who was blasted out by a powerful force, did not fall in the direction of Xiao Sang. Seeing that he was about to fall heavily on the ground, the persistent Xiao Sang appeared at the place where Fang He was about to land and he reached out his hand again. Holding Fang He’s body, Xiao Sang sat on the ground with a bigger impact than the last time.

Fang He’s cat paw patted Xiao Sang’s zombie claw, thinking in his heart that if they could get past this, if they can get past this disaster safely, he must let Xiao Sang eat enough crystal nuclei!

Then, Fang He once again broke from the space to Li Zhen’s side. This time he appeared at Li Zhen’s feet. His location was between Li Zhen and the meteorite, just in time to block the line of sight of other mutant zombies. 

Fang He quickly stretched out his cat’s paw and pressed it on the meteorite, but unexpectedly, Fang He’s consciousness could not let the meteorite enter the space! What should he do? The pain on his cat paw made him move it away immediately. The meteorite was so cold that it almost froze his cat paw.

Fang He suddenly felt dizzy in front of his eyes. After the dizziness, he felt nothing at all. Fang He looked at his frostbitten cat paw,  Li Zhen said before that there might be some kind of cosmic rays in the meteorite. Fang He felt that he should have been invaded by this kind of ray into his body. He just doesn’t know whether this kind of ray will affect his body.

Fang He didn’t have time to think about this. If he can’t take this meteorite away, he could only wake Li Zhen up. Fang He followed Li Zhen’s leg and jumped towards Li Zhen’s shoulder. Fortunately, those mutant zombies only prevented him from touching the meteorite, but did not prevent him from approaching Li Zhen.

So Fang He stretched out his cat claws and shouted at Li Zhen’s face at once. However, unlike before, if he made sure that his claws would go down, it would make Li Zhen’s face bloom, but this time, his claws were like scratching a stone, leaving no trace. 

Fang He was anxious, he activated his wind ability on his cat claws, and scratched him again, but it still had no effect.

Be calm, be calm, think hard about it, is there really no other way? Fang He circled around Li Zhen’s shoulders, from left to right.

Fang He suddenly thought of another time when Li Zhen lost control and fought against Li Yue, when he poured water from the Spiritual Lake on him! Fang He glanced at the crater, then he gritted his teeth, and he drew a large amount of water from the space at once, filling the crater almost instantly.

However, this method had some consequences. Fang He was completely immersed in water, and after the water touched the meteorite, it became extremely cold, and it began to freeze from between Li Zhen and the meteorite. 

Just when Fang He was about to freeze, Li Zhen suddenly opened his eyes. He reached out and suddenly grabbed Fang He, holding the meteorite in one hand, and holding Fang He in the other. He rushed out of the layer of ice, and then steadily stood on the water.

Fang He coughed out the ice water that had been choked into his mouth, and quickly looked at Li Zhen. Li Zhen looked at him with his eyes open, and there was no expression in those eyes. Fang He’s heart tightened slightly, and he leaned over and pressed Li Zhen’s hand, “How are you?!”

Li Zhen moved slightly, then he threw the meteorite he was holding in his hand, and it landed behind him. He hugged Fang He and walked out of the crater.

However, Fang He didn’t feel relieved, his cat paws hugged Li Zhen’s arm tightly. The meteorite was hanging in the air behind Li Zhen, and Li Zhen hadn’t said a word to him yet. 

As soon as Li Zhen held Fang He, and settled down by the crater, the surrounding dozens of mutant zombies, except for Xiao Sang and Xiao Baiqiu, suddenly dispersed at the same speed as when they came. That stance made Fang He’s heart sink, this is nothing like the scene when Li Zhen collected a zombie little brother!

Fang He stared at Li Zhen nervously, “Li Zhen, say something!”

Li Zhen finally lowered his head and reached out to rub Fang He’s head. Then a mutant zombie he had never seen before suddenly walked in front of them. The flames erupted all over its body. The warm flames made Fang He realize that his fur was wet, and Fang He was shivering from the cold. Li Zhen held Fang He in his hand and approached the mutant zombie.

Fang He’s whole cat was in a bad shape. He hugged Li Zhen’s hand on all fours. Although it was very warm, he still instinctively did not like this harmonious close contact with a zombie, ah! 

When Fang He’s fur was dry, Fang He was held in Li Zhen’s arms again, and then the fire-type mutant zombie ran away.

So, what exactly is going on now? Fang He stared into Li Zhen’s eyes, but there was no emotion in Li Zhen’s eyes! Fang He’s heart suddenly felt sour. He lowered his head, could it be that Li Zhen has completely lost his self-awareness and just took care of him out of instinct?

Just when Fang He didn’t know what to do, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in his consciousness, “He-miao, I’m fine. Wait for me for a few days, soon!”

Fang He immediately realized that it was Li Zhen who used his mind power to communicate with him, and quickly raised his head to look at Li Zhen, “Li Zhen?! What happened before? Did the meteorite do any harm to you? How are you now?” 

However, Fang He did not receive any answer to these series of questions. Fang He looked at his expressionless and moodless appearance of Li Zhen’s, and suddenly a strange thought arose. Fang He jumped out from between Li Zhen’s arm, and stepped on Li Zhen’s shoulder, then he looked at the meteorite behind him. After looking at it for a while, Fang He suddenly felt that the meteorite floating in the air was actually very friendly!

There are no zombies around now, Fang He ran to the meteorite with confidence. The meteorite was no longer cold, and there was a warm feeling. Meow-wu! Fang He suddenly felt that this meteorite was Li Zhen!

Sunnyshies: I just realized that NU had hidden all the chapters of Zombie Emperor and They are Chasing me, and I didn’t know it at all. Hahaha, I still keep updating it every time I post a new chapter.

Anyway, I just recently watched Don’t look up from Netflix, maybe because I’m used to seeing serious apocalyptic movies. I was pissed off at most of the scenes in the movie, that I really wished that the comet hit the earth, and it really did in the end– that surprised me. Then I remembered that this series started with a meteorite as well. 

Although the author didn’t really specify it much, well, this is just a theory. The zombie virus has been existing for a very long time now, but the meteorites are just coming down to the earth. You know, I thought this meteorite was a big sized comet at first and it was about to hit the earth, and they did a dumbed thing of using a nuclear bomb to set it off out tract as well, but it just destroyed the comet to pieces. Some pieces went directly on earth—and these were the first specimens in the lab Li Zhen destroyed with the government before. And some of the pieces revolved around the sun first before coming back on earth, so the apocalypse was delayed for years.

Before this meteorite-that was swallowed by Li Zhen, another one landed earlier. And it landed in the City that started it all, then coupled with the theories Fang He mentioned before, I think that meteorite started the apocalypse. Well, this is just a theory, the author really didn’t answer it.

Anyway, Li Zhen’s the Zombie Emperor now~!
