Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All (11)

If Qin Shuang was following the plan, then he should already be at the city gates.

Yin Mei could feel power coursing through her veins. She was no longer as weak as before, and sprinting at full speed through half the city with a zombie emperor over her shoulder just made her lightly tired.

Arriving at the gate, as expected, Qin Shuang was there, waiting with a slightly nervous expression. "Good kid," Yin Mei said as she slowed down next to him and pat his head. "The Ri twins?" She asked. She had asked Qin Shuang to call them out, but who knew if they would come.

"We're here," Ri En said as he and Ri Yi walked out of the darkness into Yin Mei's line of sight. "What in the world is going on?" He asked, furrowing his brow.

"Haha, no time to explain in detail," Yin Mei said, happy they had at least come. "I'm going off to conquer the world, and I'll need your brother's help. I can't protect you guys while your here, so I want to ask you to come with me. But it's your choice." She said, her voice rushed as she tapped her foot impatiently.

A groan came from the body slung over her shoulder, and she almost shat herself in surprise. "Go back to sleep," she said, and surprisingly enough, he fell silent.

Yin Mei really didn't think this guy would be so obedient, but she didn't say anything, as there was no time.

Ri En looked at the man that Yin Mei was carrying, opening and closing his mouth as if wanting to say something but then didn't. He felt like he had to think about this important decision, but it was obvious that Yin Mei was unwilling to wait.

The girl had truly taken good care of them, though... he had always been suspicious about it, but now knowing it was because she wanted to draw their big brother to her side, he felt relief. In the apocalypse, kindness without a clear motive was the most suspicious type of kindness. But, this also meant that he wouldn't feel as guilty if he rejected her.

"I..." He was about to say, when Yin Mei could hear loud footsteps drawing closer. The city couldn't use an alarm, to Yin Mei's benefit, as it would draw too many zombies.

"No time, choose now!" Yin Mei said to him in an urgent voice.

"I... fine! We'll go with you!" Ri En finally said. In the end, he couldn't deny the fact that Yin Mei was strong, had mysterious knowledge, and also helped them out multiple times. Although B City seemed the obvious, safer choice, his gut feeling told him that going with this girl was the correct option here.

"Big brother," Ri Yi said in a bit of a protest, feeling that this option wasn't safe enough, the future prospects unknown.

"Yi'er, just trust me," Ri En said, reassuring her, though he himself was unsure if he had made the correct choice.

Yin Mei grinned. "Good choice," she said, as she nodded at Qin Shuang. "You might regret it though," she laughed heartily as she nodded at Qin Shuang, and before they could change their mind, the four people plus one zombie were wrapped by invisible threads and pulled up over the half finished wall surrounding the city.

Dropping down to the ground, they went to the garage where the military vehicles were parked. There were a few patrolling guards and the thick metal doors were locked, but this was no issue to Qin Shuang. Yin Mei would also have no issues, if only she wasn't preoccupied with this deadweight she was carrying. Okay, she felt a little guilty for thinking of the demon king's look alike as a deadweight, but currently that was exactly what the zombie emperor was. She could only shake her head as Qin Shuang tied up the guards and gagged them without a sound, before slicing open the iron doors, keeping them from falling too loudly with the help of his strings.

Yin Mei nodded. He was becoming more and more like his self from the past timeline every day, at least in terms of his ability control. Now, if he could gain a bit more fighting experience, it would be perfect.

Yin Mei grabbed the nearest military vehicle, and the group all got in. There was no time to wait for the garage door to open, so Qin Shuang cut that open as well and Yin Mei slammed on the breaks, driving away into the distance. Aside from the people who were watching the garage, they didn't see a glance of the city guards at all.

Yin Mei could only wonder what in the world happened. But she shook her head. Whatever, since luck was on her side today, then she wouldn't question it!

The first ten minutes of the drive was silent, until finally Ri En couldn't take it anymore and had to ask. "Who in the world is that?" He said, looking at the tied up man in the passenger seat, who seemed peacefully asleep, his face perfect as perfect could be.

He looked almost like a doll, rather than a human.

"This? He's someone who looks like someone I used to know." Yin Mei said, glancing at the zombie emperor's pale face. She even felt that the two moles under his eye, that didn't exist with the demon king, made his already beautiful face take on an even sexier and effeminate appearance. His existence was practically a sin, really. She wanted to question him why things ended up that way... she shook her head. No, they weren't the same person! This would be the perfect chance to confirm it, when he woke up.

But if they were...

Yin Mei stopped thinking, and continued talking to Ri En. "He's our key in creating a more peaceful world."

Actually, this wasn't a lie.

But Yin Mei's idea of a more peaceful world was probably different from others.

Ri En was still doubtful, but looking at this man gave him the shivers so he stopped talking about it and changed the topic, "Where are we going?"

"To H City," Yin Mei said. , as they continued driving along the road. H City was a several hours drive from B City, but they could probably make it with the gas they had in the car. If not, Yin Mei wondered if they would still be able to steal some from a local gas station. Otherwise, they may have to walk the rest of the way...

"H City? Isn't that a very large city that was the center of trade for H Province?" Ri En said.

Yin Mei nodded. Indeed, H City had been a large and flourishing trade city before the apocalypse. That's why, when the apocalypse started, it quickly became prime meat for the zombies and was quickly overtaken and abandoned by humans. It was currently a hundred percent zombie territory.

That was exactly why Yin Mei was going. This was the place that the zombie emperor had made his base in the previous timeline, and was a breeding ground for all sorts of powerful zombies that would become members of the zombie emperor's elite troops.

"You two shouldn't worry so much about it. For now, get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there," Yin Mei said. Though of course, they wouldn't stop worrying about it just because she had said so. Even so, they were truly exhausted and so quickly fell asleep.

Qin Shuang, as well, had used to much of his power and had long been softly snoring.

Now all that was left to accompany her was silence. The headlights of the car illuminated the dark night, and a big and bright moon was hanging from the sky, seeming unbelievably big.

"What do you mean when you say that I'm the key to a peaceful world?" A soft voice interrupted the quiet, and Yin Mei was shocked. Even the voice sounded so similar! She glanced at the zombie emperor, whose red eyes were looking calmly at her.

"You're awake? Haha," She forced a light laugh, and had a look like she was unsure of what expression she should have on right now. "I didn't really mean anything about it." She shrugged.

"Then why did you break me out of there? You're not afraid I won't eat you?" He bared his teeth, as if ready to bite her at this very moment.

"Well, that would be a pity. It would mean that I would be unable to complete my goal once again. What a pity, what a pity..." She lamented, looking extremely sad.

"Then what's your goal?" The zombie emperor asked. He was truly confused by this human. Since the beginning, he had been observing humans from behind the glass in that giant test tube of his. He also possessed the memories of the former self of this body, a man called Ning An.

As a zombie, he naturally already was incompatible with humans. Why should he bother to get along with food after all? But now with his experience and these memories, he only disdained humans anymore, developing a dislike.

Only this girl didn't conform to norms.

Yin Mei also wondered what her goal was. She checked the system. She felt it was always in perpetual recalculation of the main mission, as sometimes it would take years before the next mission was issued. "Huh? When did the mission update?" Yin Mei thought as she saw that there was a new mission. Maybe it had sounded during the chaos of the breakout and she just hadn't noticed?

"New mission: Gain the zombie emperor's trust."

??? Yin Mei was dumbfounded. How in the world was she supposed to complete this mission... Just look at the zombie emperor, he was so suspicious of her right now! She then remembered that he had asked her something and so had to choose how to reply. Gaining his trust as a goal... if she said that, he would definitely be more suspicious right?

"Oh! I guess my goal is to save the villain, and then maybe the world while I'm at it. Also to get rid of flies in the meantime. Ah, right, and to have a happy ending." Yin Mei said, but it only confused the zombie emperor more.

"A happy ending?" He asked. And saving the villain... who did she mean by that?

"Yep, a happy ending." Yin Mei glanced again at the zombie emperor, and he thought that he could see a sadness and also maybe a bit of anger etched into her pretty features. "I won't let it end like that ever again," she shook her head, mumbling, and the two of them fell silent.

She wondered if the zombie emperor may be the demon king. They looked so similar after all. She had denied it all this time, in part because this was a different world, and also in part because she didn't know if she could bear it if he was. She shook her head. It didn't seem like he remembered her and the previous world. She guessed that he must not be after all. In the end, this was a different world. Everyone she had once knew were either dead or as good as dead.

The night seemed to stretch on and on, before Yin Mei finally spoke again. "You can't eat my comrades. They still have their uses." She said. A zombie emperor and his elite allies was not yet enough for her. They had been unable to overcome the obstacle known as Lei Han, or even the rest of humanity, in the original storyline. Yin Mei needed more, more, and more before she could be satisfied.

Endless greed and desire filled her heart.

She hated this feeling, as if no matter how much she ate, she would still remain hungry.

But it was not enough. It was never, never enough. Just look at how the last world ended!

Although the zombie emperor didn't agree, he made a grunt in acknowledgement. In the end, he decided to observe this person. He didn't know what she was thinking, and why she hadn't killed him yet. He was a little curious. And, ever since he lay eyes on her, since even before, when he was still not yet rank 5, a mysterious feeling had sprouted in his heart.

A nostalgic feeling that he could not name.

He wondered what it was.
