Chapter 558 Even the Zombie King Has a Weakness 35 (The End)
These past few days, the base has enjoyed rare good weather with the sun shining brightly, and many women and children have come to the park for a walk.
Zhao Zhao sat on the sand, holding a basketball. The sun warmed her body, but her heart remained cold.
After Yu Anchu left, Xu Qianbai told himself that the serum research had made some progress. He saw the tube of silvery blood in the laboratory and knew without a doubt that such special blood must be his brother's.
The Zombie King kept his promise and took the initiative to cooperate with humans.
Humanity has a high chance of winning, but he can already foresee his brother's fate...
"Zhaozhao, can we play basketball with yours?"
A few children ran over with smiles on their faces, looking longingly at the basketball in Zhao Zhao's hands.
There weren't many toys at the base, and the playful kids spent their days either playing in the sand or aimlessly swinging on the swings.
This time, however, Zhao Zhao, who is usually very generous, lowered her head, hid the basketball in her arms, and said in a muffled voice, "No."
This is a gift from my brother.
The children looked disappointed upon hearing this, and seeing that Zhaozhao was truly unwilling, they ran away.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the basketball. Zhao Zhao stared blankly. Suddenly, a commotion arose from not far away. Zhao Zhao, who usually loved excitement, was immersed in her own world and didn't even have the desire to look up.
"Zhao Zhao, my darling, Brother Jiang is back!" A familiar and pleasant male voice came from above, and he was pulled into a warm embrace. The person gently wiped away his tears.
A complex emotion flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes, but he smiled gently: "I heard Zhao Zhao has been feeling down lately. What's wrong? Are you missing your brother Jiang?"
While he was searching for supplies, Xu Qianbai told him about his collaboration with Yu Anchu.
Jiang Yan was naturally happy with the result, but he was very worried about Zhao Zhao.
Even when the usually cheerful child saw him, he didn't react at all. He carried Zhao Zhao away from the small park and strolled with her along the path.
Suddenly, the signal device beeped.
"Jiang Yan! I did it!"
"Humanity is finally saved!"
Success...
What could possibly excite Xu Qianbai like this...?
Jiang Yan froze on the spot, his hands trembling as he held Zhao Zhao in his arms, overwhelmed with emotion.
Zhao Zhao heard the contents of the signal and was genuinely happy for humanity, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.
Soon after, the base's loudspeaker played the good news on repeat. Even the formal broadcaster's tone was filled with excitement and joy. The humans in the base were celebrating and screaming; they had finally seen hope for human survival.
Amidst the cheers, Zhao Zhao remained calm and serene: "Brother Jiang, humanity is about to succeed, isn't it?"
"Correct."
The child's clear eyes reflected his image: "I heard that two-thirds of the world's zombies are in S City..."
"My brother went back to S City, right?"
"Even if humanity succeeds, he won't come back, right?"
Zhao Zhao guessed, and Jiang Yan nodded silently.
Zhao Zhao smiled for the first time in days. He looked intently at Jiang Yan and said, "I want to go find him."
Humans and zombies are irreconcilable enemies; if humans win, the zombies must die.
His mission was almost complete, and he wanted to spend the rest of his time with his closest and dearest brother.
A moment of silence fell over Jiang Yan, who remained silent for a long time, while Zhao Zhao simply stared at him with her eyes open.
Jiang Yan: "Your brother only wants you to live well and grow up healthy and happy."
Zhao Zhao hugged his neck, tears streaming down her face. Jiang Yan's voice was hoarse: "Let's go find Xu Qianbai."
Meanwhile, the laboratory was already overcrowded, with the base's important leaders and researchers looking expectantly around a tube of blue and white medicine inside the central protective cover.
Xu Qianbai's expression was solemn, but his eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement: "The results of all ten tests have shown success. The serum has really been successfully produced."
Today marks the fifth day since the agreement was made with Yu Anchu. The tireless experiments have lived up to expectations, and in the laboratory, someone shed tears.
Humanity has come a long way, it hasn't been easy.
Gradually, discussions about future plans began to fill the laboratory. Zhao Zhao and Jiang Yan stood at the door, listening to the hopeful voices coming from inside, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"Brother Jiang, let's go in later."
"Mmm." Jiang Yan rubbed Zhao Zhao's head.
"...Can we really hand over those zombies in S City to the Zombie King?" Suddenly, the base commander asked this question, and the laboratory fell silent instantly. The number of zombies in S City was truly frightening.
Xu Qianbai smiled reassuringly at the panicked crowd: "Keep half of your trust in your heart, and leave the other half as a way out for yourselves."
With the serum, even if the zombie king suddenly changes his mind, the base will be able to handle them.
"Yes, we are also preparing to deal with the zombie attack." The base also has a lot of heavy weapons.
They then discussed how to deal with the zombie king's change of heart, and their words revealed their confidence due to the successful development of the serum.
Before they left, Xu Qianbai said, "Regardless of whether the Zombie King ultimately solved the zombie problem in S City, he is still a hero of humanity just because of his blood. We must follow his wishes and take care of Zhaozhao so she can grow up happily."
"Of course," everyone agreed confidently.
At the doorway, Zhao Zhao said, "This scene looks so familiar."
When he first came to this world, the system said that his brother had entrusted him to other humans in the same way.
He has two months left, but ultimately he won't live to see his brother grow up.
After all the leaders left, Jiang Yancai led Zhaozhao into the laboratory, where Xu Qianbai was still engrossed in recording experimental data.
"Brother Xu".
The sound of a child's footsteps echoed from the experiment. Xu Qianbai turned around happily, hugged the child tightly, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Zhao tugged at her little hand: "I want to go find my brother." The mission time was over, and it was time to go find the person she loved most.
He kept reminding himself of this.
Xu Qianbai's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Jiang Yan following behind him and said in a hoarse voice, "From now on, your brother Xu will take care of you as you grow up, okay?"
He winked at Jiang Yan, who forced a smile and stepped forward, hugging Zhao Zhao and Xu Qianbai tightly: "Yes, we'll take care of you from now on."
“If you don’t like your two older brothers…” Jiang Yan’s eyes darted around as he joked, “Then I’ll be your dad and Xu Qianbai will be your mom.”
"Baby, quickly call out 'Daddy' and 'Mommy'!"
Xu Qianbai: ?
Zhao Zhao: ......
The two were unwilling for Zhaozhao to leave, because they knew that if Zhaozhao left them to go find the Zombie King, she would die no matter what.
Their feelings for Zhaozhao were not just a responsibility, but also a form of love.
At this moment, in City S, Yu Anchu had already received news of the successful development of the base's serum. He leaned casually against the entrance of the abandoned underground laboratory, looking dazed.
His only thought about this world was Zhaozhao.
Unfortunately, from the moment he became the Zombie King, he was destined not to be able to accompany Zhao Zhao as she grew up.
The moment the detonation button was pressed, many memories surfaced in the dead mind—happy memories from the past.
......
Finally, there is a world where loved ones leave before Zhao Zhao passes away.
The moment Zhao Zhao learned that all the zombies in S City had been destroyed, her heart seemed to stop.
The system gave him the exact information.
He said the mission was complete, and humanity's suffering was over.
The child who loved to laugh the most never laughed again after his brother left.
Before long, all the surviving humans were injected with the serum. With the serum's protection, humans would no longer fear the bites and scratches of zombies. The remaining third of the zombies would be dealt with by the other superhumans.
As a dual-ability user, Zhao Zhao wanted to join the team to clear out the remaining zombies. Unfortunately, not long after, he was "sacrificed" by the people of the base and forbidden from participating in any dangerous activities.
They attributed their gratitude towards Anchu to him...
Zhao Zhao enjoyed the last two months of blissful days, but unfortunately, this kind of life was really boring and dull.
Zhao Zhao doesn't like it.
......
