After crossing, I will open a shop in the end of the world

Perhaps it was because of the lack of city lights and factories that the starry sky was particularly bright at night. With the bright moonlight, the outline of the city could be easily seen without the need for special street lights.

If this wasn't a city of ruins, and the figures wandering around weren't scary monsters, this might be a good time to take a stroll and enjoy the moon.

However, facts are facts, and there is no if in reality.

Under the moonlight, these hordes of monsters looked even more bizarre and terrifying.

Yun You walked through the streets, brushing shoulders with zombies and zombie-like beasts. Although he didn't show it on his face, he couldn't help feeling frightened in his heart.

It was not just because of the horrific appearance of these monsters, but also because of the number of these monsters in this ruined city. This did not even include the number of monsters that flooded into the beast tide, and the number of zombie-like monsters exceeded their previous guess.

Judging from what Yun You had seen along the way, the number of zombie-like beasts accounted for almost one-third of the total.

Most of the features are quite obvious. Similar to the previous wolf beast, they all have the typical purple-black crystal-like bone spurs, which look evil and gorgeous.

This also reveals a fact.

The zombie seems to have mastered the power at the third vulnerability point quite well. Why is that?

……

Some distance inward from the outer layer of the city, the number of zombies and zombie-like beasts is increasing, even exceeding the number of the large zombie tide that Yun You encountered in City C before.

However, after crossing a certain distance, the number of zombies and zombie-like beasts dropped sharply.

This did not make Yun You relax her vigilance, but instead made her expression even more solemn.

There is only one reason why there are so few zombies in the inner layer: the deterrence and suppression of high-level zombies.

When zombies become zombie kings, they will show a strong sense of territory. The zombie group will gather at the outermost layer of the territory, and only members allowed by the zombie king can enter the territory. This is the absolute class among zombies.

"It's a bit troublesome, I hope everything goes well." Yun You murmured to himself.

After entering this inner layer, she changed her mode of movement and no longer moved as swaggeringly as she did outside.

After all, she didn't want to confront the Zombie King directly now. Not to mention that she would be beaten up, but alerting the enemy would make all her previous efforts go to waste.

There was a clang.

There was a sound of plates falling to the ground and breaking, followed by the roars of zombies and the sounds of fighting.

Yun You climbed up the tree quickly.

“I didn’t expect so much to change in just a few months.”

Before coming to the apocalypse, she would never have been able to climb so fast, and she might not even have been able to climb up. Over the past few months, the training at the Cangqing Base, the running-in of system skills, and the actual combat of field missions have also given her the local flavor of this apocalyptic plane.

"Does the desperate situation at the end of the world inspire people's potential?" Yun You said with some self-mockery.

After a brief sigh, Yun You supported himself on the tree trunk with one hand, took advantage of the leaves to cover his breath, and looked towards the direction of the sound through the narrow gaps between the leaves.

"Huh? Food?"

This sight aroused Yun You's curiosity. The sound came from a line of zombies, and the zombies were holding food in their hands, normal human food, including rice, cakes, snacks, and various dishes, even more complete than what some small bases could prepare.

The sound of the plate breaking was caused by a zombie not holding it firmly and dropping it to the ground. Another zombie was punching and kicking it, as if blaming the zombie for not holding it firmly.

Yun You was confused and uncertain: "Strange?"

Logically speaking, zombies do not need normal food. They eat flesh and blood, and perhaps crystal core energy.

So what about these foods?

Studying poisoning and pollution?
She decided to go over and take a look. The queue was also heading inward. Maybe it had not reached the center of the third vulnerability point, but it must be on the way.

……

The queue was just as Yun You had imagined, it did not go directly to the center of the city, but the distance was not far either.

She was now standing on the roof of a villa and could directly see the location of the third vulnerability, where a deep purple-black light was emitting.

A gully, like a wound in the earth.

Around this "wound" were circles of zombies, seemingly of high level, almost all level 4, and possibly all zombies with special powers. They were circling around the center like they were on patrol. Around the patrol were scattered zombies of varying levels, like "servants."

Yun You initially guessed that the circle where she was currently located should be the territory of the Zombie King, and there might be a zombie king in the center.

It’s difficult, difficult, difficult…

She knew that rushing in now would inevitably be very risky, but perhaps this was also the best chance.

The zombie tide is on the move. A considerable number of zombie kings in this circle must have gone out, otherwise it would not be possible to control such a large tide of zombies, and there are also zombie-like beasts mixed in.

Their "king" certainly could not have expected that humans would sneak in here at this moment.

Right now, this is perhaps the weakest moment.

and……

Yun You glanced at the system panel. The task time for the third vulnerability point was still paused, but the countdown suddenly changed to one second not long ago.

Paused at that second.

There is no time to waste, otherwise things will change.

This opportunity should not be missed.

Yun You decided to go and see what happened to the normal food first. There was no rush to get to the center of the leak, as she was already quite close to the center.

……

In this zombie city, in the territory of the zombie king.

A line of strange zombies carrying food walked into a normal villa.

Courtyard, pool, lights...

Everything is available here, as if it is isolated from the end of the world. It seems like a normal place for wealthy people.

Everything here is clean and tidy, except for the zombies shuttling around.

Except zombies...

Everything here is so weird. Are the zombies starting to enjoy life too?

But there is no such strange place in other zombie king territories?
Yun You's confusion reached its peak. When she first climbed over the wall, she thought she was trapped in an illusion created by a psychotic zombie. She almost doubted whether her ability to be immune to superpowers had long been ineffective.

In the end, she confirmed that it was not an illusion but a real existence. Puzzled emotions spread, and she even turned it over again and looked at the highest point to see if there were similar steps in the territories of other zombie kings. Without a doubt, the territories of other zombie kings were all dark ruins.

I don’t want this place to be so brightly lit, like a “city that never sleeps”.

Is there something wrong with this zombie king? Is it because of his obsession with luxury before he became a zombie?

Yun You complained silently.

She followed the zombie group and quietly approached the villa, wanting to see where these zombies wanted to deliver the food.

Hiding behind bushes and stone sculptures, Yun You approached a window.

There was a crackling sound.

Like dropping something.

"roll!"

A huge roar was heard, mixed with some hatred and confusion.

And this is not the voice of a zombie, but the voice of a normal human, a girl's voice.

Are there other humans in this zombie city?
Yun You was startled when he approached the window, but then he figured out who the voice belonged to.

It was still an acquaintance - Nuoxin. (End of this chapter)
