At first, the zombies that appeared were all very low-level, and Zhang Hao could kill them almost one by one with a single strike!
The little koi fish stayed by his side, carrying weapons specifically designed to fight zombies, helping him deal with them.

However, after only a few minutes, the zombies seemed to have changed and their strength had increased!

The little koi fish, holding a peach wood dagger, plunged it into the forehead of a zombie in front of her, just like before!
However, this time, the little koi fish failed to pierce through successfully, and a burst of green light suddenly erupted from the zombie's forehead!
The burst of energy instantly caused the little koi fish to experience pain in its internal organs!

Zhang Hao noticed this and reacted extremely quickly, immediately running over to help her steady herself: "Are you alright?"

The little koi shook its head, looking at the zombie in front of it: "This zombie's forehead suddenly became so hard, I can't even pierce it with my knife!"

Zhang Hao had also noticed this while killing the zombies; they seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

However, his strength was simply too great, and even if these zombies became a little stronger, it had no effect on him.

But we overlooked the little koi fish.

"These zombies have indeed become much stronger. They might be a bit too much for you to handle. You should go back first and leave the rest to me!"

As Zhang Hao spoke, he threw the dagger in his hand like a dart.

The dagger pierced the zombie's eyebrow in an instant, and blood spurted out, staining a patch of ground red.

Zhang Hao sheathed his dagger and quickly headed to the next hunting location.

The little koi gritted its teeth, turned around and rushed forward again: "No, I want to go with you too!"

Before they had gone far, a small squad of zombies suddenly appeared from around the corner ahead!

These zombies weren't like the green-haired zombies from before. They were all red, even their eyes were red. They seemed to be searching for something. The zombie that was leading them twitched its nose, then raised its head and stared at Zhang Hao with a malicious look.

"Found him! It's that bastard who hurt our kind!"

The little koi gritted its teeth, turned around abruptly, and rushed forward: "No, I have to go with you!"

Before they had gone very far, a small squad of zombies suddenly surged out from around the corner ahead, appearing in a grand procession!

These zombies were completely different from the green-haired zombies from before; they were entirely red, even their eyes glowed red. They seemed to be searching for something. The leader of the zombies twitched its nose, then raised its head, staring intently at Zhang Hao with a malicious expression.

"Found him! It's that bastard who hurt our kind!"

As soon as the leader zombie finished speaking, the other zombies all turned their hateful gazes toward him.

Zhang Hao sensed a chilling aura directed at him, and his heart tightened: "Be careful!"

Suddenly, the zombie in front of them swung its hands, and countless needles as thin as cow hair shot towards them.

The little koi was caught off guard, its mind went blank for a moment, and it didn't even have time to dodge.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao reacted at lightning speed, rushing over, picking up the little koi, and pushing off with his toes to dodge to the side, barely managing to avoid the barrage of hidden weapons.

The spot where they had originally stood was now riddled with holes from hidden weapons, and even wisps of poisonous smoke were rising from it.

The smell made the surrounding air feel nauseous.

Smelling the stench of moldy, rotting corpses, Zhang Hao felt utterly disgusted: "How dare you cause trouble here? Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the relevant departments and exposing your whereabouts?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the zombies burst into laughter and charged at Zhang Hao without saying a word.

Zhang Hao was agile, dodging left and right, making it easy for him to avoid the zombies' attacks.

The zombie couldn't hit Zhang Hao several times, and it was getting impatient, so it increased its attack speed. But the faster its attacks were, the faster Zhang Hao could dodge.

"If you've got guts, don't hide..."

Zhang Hao, holding the little koi in one hand, turned around and kicked the zombie into the air. Then he leaped up and stepped on the zombie!
He had already knocked down the other little zombies with one punch, leaving only the leader zombie.

Zhang Hao stood on the zombie's head as if it were a ball: "Now, I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything you know."

The zombie stared at him for a moment, then a look of terror flashed in its eyes. It never expected that the person in front of it would be so powerful.

Zhang Hao's evasion just now was probably a test to gauge his reaction!
However, he couldn't answer Zhang Hao's question, because he already...

Zhang Hao was filled with the screams of the chaotic fleeing crowd, and his mood became extremely irritable.

"Now, aren't you going to talk? Whether you live or die depends on your choice!"

The zombie opened its mouth, then pointed to its own mouth, shaking its head in terror.

Zhang Hao frowned. Was he sealed and unable to speak?
He examined the zombie carefully, frowned, and said, "Is it under some kind of curse, which is why it can't reveal information from your side?"

The zombie nodded hurriedly; if he could speak, he probably would have begged for mercy long ago.

He was cursed, and if he had even the slightest thought of leaking inside information, he would be silenced and unable to utter a single word.

If he tries to break the curse, his whole body will explode, and he will die even faster.

Having finally become an immortal zombie, he really didn't want to suddenly die at this moment!

Zhang Hao said coldly, "Next, I'm going to ask you some questions. You just need to nod or shake your head."

The zombie nodded sensibly, indicating that it would definitely cooperate.

"Since you can't disclose any information about you, can you write it down?"

The zombie shook its head without hesitation.

"Did you voluntarily request to become a zombie?"

The zombie's eyes flickered slightly. If it said it had asked for it willingly, wouldn't it definitely see it as an evil person? To leave a good impression, it was best to deny it...

The moment the thought crossed the zombie's mind, it looked up and saw Zhang Hao's slightly narrowed eyes: "I advise you not to lie about this matter, otherwise, I can take your life directly."

At this moment, the little koi fish also spoke up: "So don't try to be clever, or you'll only make things worse for yourself."

The little koi's innocent expression and seemingly kind reminder sounded like the whispers of a demon to the zombie.

The zombie shuddered violently, then immediately nodded, indicating that it had voluntarily requested to become a zombie.

Zhang Hao wasn't surprised at all when he heard this.

After becoming a zombie, although one transcends reincarnation, one actually becomes a monster rejected by all things in the world.

Bloodsucking, fear of sunlight, and even...

It is less about immortality and more about eternal sorrow.

Moreover, once turned into a zombie, one is also affected by resentment, gradually losing their sanity and becoming a bloodthirsty monster. People in the West do not understand the dangers of zombies; upon hearing that they can gain immortality, they seem to lose their minds.

Seeing the guy begging to become a zombie like a dog wagging its tail to please its master, Zhang Hao was furious and felt angry at his lack of ambition.

This kind of greed is not what you call greed!

"You've come to this Halloween event today to find food?"

Zhang Hao asked.

The zombie shook its head.

Seeing the zombie shake its head, Zhang Hao's tone grew even more serious as he asked again, "Then you have another purpose for coming here?"

The zombie quickly nodded.

"Your goal is to collect more blood to offer to the powerful figure behind the scenes?"

Zhang Hao secretly speculated that the Zombie King was seriously injured and urgently needed a lot of blood to replenish his energy, so it seemed reasonable that he had caused such a scene.

However, the other party was not a reckless person. Even if they needed a lot of blood, they shouldn't have made such a big commotion.

So why would the Zombie King do this?
Is it showing off its strength? No, it's currently heavily injured and should be trying to hide its whereabouts.

So why make such a big fuss?

Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the local government?

No, perhaps this is precisely to attract the attention of the local government...

Zhang Hao felt his thoughts were in turmoil, as if he were only one step away from the truth. But that one step seemed to be separated by an impenetrable transparent membrane, preventing him from ever touching the real truth.

Zhang Hao frowned even more: "So you're deliberately creating chaos? Is there some other intention behind this chaos? Are you able to hunt at will while carrying out orders from higher-ups?"

The zombie nodded twice, indicating that Zhang Hao's guess was basically correct.

"How many zombies did you send out in this operation?"

As soon as Zhang Hao asked the question, he noticed that the zombie's aura was somewhat unusual.

The power of the curse has increased.

He immediately cast a spell to temporarily suppress the curse on the zombie.

However, the curse was too powerful. Although the seal had been placed, it could only suppress it temporarily and could not be maintained for long.

While he was asking the question, the curse on the zombie was intensifying, and he was the one helping to suppress it.

Otherwise, the zombie would probably have been blasted to pieces by the curse it carried the first time it nodded.

However, just as Zhang Hao was pondering how to further suppress the curse on the zombie, the zombie suddenly grinned, unleashed a powerful burst of strength, broke free from his restraints, and charged towards him like a cannonball, trying to hug him tightly.

Zhang Hao reacted with lightning speed, leaping into the air with a light touch of his toes. Shortly after he took to the sky, a loud "bang" resounded from the ground! A blinding flash followed, and the zombie was blasted to smithereens!

Even the ground was blasted into a huge crater!
Little Koi was terrified by what she saw. She turned pale and clung tightly to Zhang Hao, trembling in his arms. "That's terrifying! This must be what they call a suicide attack!"

"I don't know if it was the legendary suicide attack, but what I do know is that the Zombie King's methods of controlling his subordinates are becoming increasingly ruthless."

Zhang Hao felt a little anxious.

At this point, he couldn't afford to think about anything else; he had to clear the zombies off the scene as quickly as possible, otherwise the chaos would cause even greater casualties.

After working for almost half the night, Zhang Hao finally wiped out all the zombies that had caused the chaos, and then returned to his apartment with Little Koi.

Back at the apartment, the little koi jumped off him, and upon landing, transformed into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She nestled weakly on the sofa.

"Exercising with you is pure torture! No wonder you advised me to stay home, it's terrifying!"

Any one of the things that happened tonight could leave a lifelong scar.

If she could, Little Koi would even like to take back her earlier offer to fight alongside the other party.

But forget it, I've already said it. If I go back on my word now, wouldn't I look like a scoundrel who doesn't keep his word?

"Get some rest. I'll prepare some medicinal bath for you. Take a soak to relax your muscles and prevent them from getting strained or sore from overuse."

Zhang Hao mixed some medicine, put it in the bathtub, and then let the little koi fish take a bath.

At this moment, Zhang Hao, who had been completely clueless, finally relaxed. He nestled on the sofa and carefully recalled everything that had happened that night.

Zhang Hao frowned and fell asleep without realizing it.

In his sleep, he was fully aware that he was dreaming, but the dream seemed rather strange.

In his dream, Zhang Hao's light and airy soul drifted around in the mist for an unknown amount of time, seemingly for millions of years. Finally, one day, his soul drifted out of the mist and arrived at an extremely desolate outskirts.

Calling it the outskirts isn't accurate; to be more precise, it's like a giant garbage dump.

Here, he saw a little girl.

The little girl was skin and bones, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition. At that moment, she was rummaging through the garbage, hoping to find something edible.

"Don't bother looking. All the food that could be found here has already been taken by others."

A little boy with a fierce look pulled the girl out of the garbage heap and shoved a palm-sized, moldy, expired piece of bread into her hand: "I'm already full, this is for you."

The boy was also pitifully thin, and the two malnourished children huddled in the corner, looking like four or five-year-old kids.

"Are you really full? Food is precious. If you share it with me, you won't have enough to eat tomorrow, you won't have the strength, and you definitely won't be able to beat anyone..."

The boy's eyes widened immediately, and he said fiercely, "What? You doubt my abilities? Let me tell you, I'm incredibly capable! I can take down all those people!"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist her craving for food and carefully began to nibble on the small piece of bread.

After eating the small piece of bread, her hunger was relieved a bit, and the little girl said happily, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would definitely have starved to death."

After saying that, the little girl cupped the boy's face and gently kissed him: "This is to thank you."

The little boy's face immediately turned red.

From then on, the two children found a tree hollow near the garbage dump and struggled to survive like small animals.

Zhang Hao couldn't understand why he would have such a dream. (End of Chapter)
