In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

However, this Corpse King's acting skills are top-notch, and Wenren Lei has learned another trick—acting requires genuine emotion.

The real Kong Lu was very popular in the base, and she also worked at the supplies distribution center.

Inside the earthen shield, a chaotic scene erupted as residents pounded on the shield and shouted in protest for Kong Luming, showing signs of an impending uprising.

Wenren Lei leaned back in her chair and smiled helplessly: "These adorable residents."

He stood up and walked up to Kong Lu, looking down into her eyes, his smile becoming very gentle.

Kong Lu felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason; she had a feeling that Wenren Lei hadn't come up with any good ideas.

The next second, Wenren Lei's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly screamed in terror.

"Ah—! Help! Kong Lu! Why didn't you say you were bitten by a spider?!"

"Someone save me! Kong Lu has turned into a zombie!"

"Don't bite me! Don't come any closer and bite me! Please!"

"Help--!"

"Aaaaaah—!!"

Kong Lu: ? ? ?

Before Kong Lu could react, Fu Yan stepped forward and stuffed a wad of towel directly into her mouth.

Wenren Lei stopped talking and raised her chin at Kong Lu with a hint of smugness: "Isn't it a coincidence that I also happen to be good at this field?"

The residents inside the earthen shield fell silent instantly; they had all turned into zombies. No matter how good Kong Lu was, it wouldn't help.

Han Mingjie cooperated perfectly, crying out in anguish, "Boss! Boss, are you alright?! Waaah... Boss!!"

Fu Yan smiled, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "I was bitten by Kong Lu, and I'm receiving treatment. Don't worry."

Residents inside shouted, "Heroes, benefactors, you must save Xiao Lu! She's a poor, good child!"

Fu Yanyi stated firmly, "We will do our best."

"What a good person!"

"Our base could never repay this debt of gratitude in eight lifetimes!"

Kong Lu raised an eyebrow: 6. You still have the upper hand in the war of public opinion.

Wenren Lei raised his hand and touched the back of his head. His wolf tail had grown quite long. He took out a black hair tie from his spatial storage and tied it into a low bun at the back of his head.

After tidying himself up, he half-squatted down and reached out his hand to Kong Lu, but hesitated for a moment before withdrawing it: "Never mind, you're a woman now, it's not convenient for me."

He turned around and called out, "Miss, Sister Mo."

The two walked over, and Cheng Nianli asked, "What's wrong?"

"Awoo!" When Wanzi saw Cheng Nianli, she immediately jumped into the hood of Wenren Lei's down jacket and hid.

"Um..." Cheng Nianli hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Wenren Lei shook her head; even a puppy holds a grudge.

He leaned down and whispered something in their ears.

After hearing this, Cheng Nianli smirked and said, "You're quite the gentleman."

After saying that, she and Chi Qingmo stepped forward together and slowly walked towards Kong Lu.

"Brother Yan." Wenren Lei raised her chin.

Fu Yan raised his hand and used his paralyzing ability on Kong Lu, then turned around with Wenren Lei, their backs to them.

Kong Lu had used her clone ability too many times in one day, and coupled with the fact that she was a newly born Corpse King, she was powerless to resist under Fu Yan's suppression.

Cheng Nianli and Chi Qingmo easily took off her windbreaker.

Upon seeing her body beneath her coat, both of them fell silent.

This is a mutilated body, with little flesh left, revealing stark white bones.

Cheng Nianli covered her mouth and whispered, "It really is a clone made from cutting off its own flesh."

Chi Qingmo straightened Cheng Nianli's askew mask before saying, "That's right."

Knowing she was doomed, Kong Lu sighed in relief and removed half of her disguise.

Cheng Nianli watched as the Corpse King's body changed and exclaimed, "Young Master, he... seems to be a man."

"Huh?" Wenren Lei didn't turn around immediately, but asked, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Nianli carefully checked and confirmed that it was indeed a man's body, saying, "I'm sure."

Wenren Lei and Fu Yan then turned around.

"As expected." Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow. He had always felt that Kong Lu was abnormally thin, which was why he wanted to check her body.

The Corpse King, leaning against the wall, was suppressed by both the paralyzing ability and the lightning and fire ropes, and hung his head helplessly.

Fu Yan walked over and tried to activate the ability to eliminate supernatural powers. The newborn zombie king was no stronger than Fu Yan, and his disguise ability was easily eliminated.

Kong Lu's face was distorted and reconstructed in front of everyone, her long hair was cut into a neat buzz cut, revealing a man's face, that of the researcher with fusion ability at the research institute.

"Heh..." The Corpse King's voice was rather neutral; it was difficult to tell if he was male or female unless he deliberately tried to tone it. "Consider it a win. Spare my life, and I'll tell you where that guy surnamed Lu is."

Wenren Lei's gaze swept over his bare upper body. She'd been ruthless; there wasn't a single patch of intact skin on his body. No wonder his windbreaker looked so loose.

Wenren Lei shook the little tuft of hair at the back of her head, finding the hairstyle quite amusing: "Alright, tell me honestly, where did you take Lu Shen and Grandma? And where is the real Kong Lu?"

The Corpse King chuckled, "A smart man like you should guess for yourself."

"Brother Flaw, you're quite the chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)." Wenren Lei half-squatted down. "Actually, guessing what you're thinking isn't challenging at all."

"You went to great lengths to frame Lu Shen, aiming to shift suspicion of stealing the crystal core power generation technology onto him. Letting him disappear without a trace will only increase the suspicion surrounding the whole matter, which is tantamount to ruining your plan."

"So I guess something unexpected happened that forced you to hide Lu Shen and Grandma."

Wenren Lei stared into the Corpse King's eyes: "Oh~ I see. When you were hiding the manuscript, you bumped into Lu Shen, who suddenly came home, and he discovered your secret."

The Corpse King's brow furrowed sharply: "You can actually push something like this out?"

Wenren Lei narrowed her eyes: "I'll ask you one last time, where did you hide them?"

He and Fu Yan searched Lu Shen's house, but there was no one there.

The Corpse King chuckled softly, his head bowed.

Wenren Lei's expression hardened: "What are you laughing at?"

The Corpse King was about to speak, about to tease, "I'm laughing at you..."

"That's not right," Wenren Lei suddenly said. "Your answers don't sound like you're seeking a way out. You're using Lu Shen to distract me."

He pointed at the Corpse King and murmured, "You're covering up something more crucial."

The Corpse King frowned again: "Are you a little crazy?"

"Why did you cut your own flesh?" Wenren Lei stared intently at him.

The Corpse King opened his mouth: "Creating clones, don't you already know that?"

Fu Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke up to remind him: "His clone ability is damaged, and he needs to use his own flesh and blood to assist in successfully activating it."

Wenren Lei's gaze seemed to see right through the Corpse King.

The Corpse King felt a chill run down his spine: "Can you stop looking at me like that? Who is the Corpse King between us?"

Wenren Lei didn't reply. His superpowers were damaged, just like Wen Chi's; the physical injuries were so severe that he directly lost his Corpse King powers.

The most severely damaged part of the corpse king's body was the flesh and blood that it had cut off itself.
