Chapter 117: In His Arms...

By the time the male lead reached the main gate, the hoard of zombies had already reached the second base. The leading person was, of course, Hope, who was smirking when she saw Neil coming out with an anxious-looking face.

"What? Did you expect to see your precious baby here?"

Neil's face instantly turned dark at this. He glared at the woman before his eyes and hmphed coldly. Turning to his people, he gave orders and urged them to stand in formation. This time, he was confident because he and others from his base had also powered up. So he wasn't afraid of facing issues while handling the zombie tide this time.

What he was afraid of most was the thought that something had happened to Tyler. The entire zombie group was here, but Tyler. Others around Neil also noticed this, and their expressions changed.

"Where's Tyler?" Someone was bold enough to ask this question. Of course, he was only asking himself, but Hope heard those words, and instantly her expressions darkened. That vile zombie king didn't deserve to be called here! She absolutely wouldn't let him take the glory of killing the humans and becoming the most powerful zombie alive!

Initially, Hope wasn't like this. She was indifferent to power and had been gentle to others. But ever since she became a zombie, the instinct of survival forced her to think in a different direction. It was because, in the world of zombies, only powerful monsters could stay alive. And what she wanted to do the most was survive.

So she embarked on the journey of killing humans to gain more power the moment her consciousness returned to normal. But what she didn't understand was the fact that she was able to power up so quickly.

But since she only wanted to survive, she wasn't complaining.

So when they started fighting, Neil quickly noticed that the female lead had suddenly become powerful, so much so that she was his equal. And this made him furrow his brows. The last time they had fought, she was basically at the highest level. But now, she had reached far above the highest one.

Neil had to kill zombies to achieve this level constantly, but Hope hadn't even killed so many humans. She even had nearly stopped sending out zombies to power-up. Was this person using a secret weapon that could increase her power?

The male lead's expressions suddenly changed. This had to be Tyler's power! Perhaps the female lead had accidentally sucked away his baby's power that made her so powerful. No matter. He would just have to kill this zombie and grab the power core before anyone could see.

And he knew that since he was powerful, no one would say a single word against him.

So Neil and Hope attacked each other back and forth as if two shadows were flashing and colliding with one another at the fastest speed. No one could see what was happening and who was winning the war. But they could clearly see that this fight was brutal.

Unfortunately, people around the safe zone really didn't have much time to focus on what their leader was doing. They were already fighting with hundreds of zombies together who were also being controlled by this lady.

So they also fought and fought until they heard a loud female scream before everything became silent. By the time they glanced at Neil and Hope, the latter had already died, and their leader was nowhere to be seen. They could only see a trail of blood leading outside.

They stared at the scene in a confused manner.

Where did their leader go?

The man they were thinking about was on his way toward the zombie's base. He didn't know where it was, but he had managed to track down Tyler's location using his system. But the only thing that hampered his speed was the fact that he was severely injured, and his blood flooded out of his wound as if it were tap water.

But what else could he do? His mission was to make sure that Tyler could get his powers back safely. And he knew he could die any minute. So he couldn't even stop by to rest for a while. If he did that, someone would immediately take away his baby's power.

How would Tyler manage to get it back after the male lead died? Neil didn't even dare to think about this anymore and fastened his pace.

As soon as he reached the place, he could see a storeroom with windows blocked using many pieces of wood surrounded by fire. He immediately realized that this was where Tyler was kept. But before he could use his last bit of power to stop this fire, someone instantly caught his shoulders, making him lean back on the sturdy arms.

"What the hell happened to you?" Tyler's brows furrowed as he stared at a big wound on Neil's chest. The latter's clothes were soaked with blood, but Tyler was worried about the injury that looked so worse that for a moment, he started to wonder how the hell this person managed to walk such a long-distance?

Neil didn't waste a minute before stuffing Hope's core in Tyler's hands and finally leaned back to take deep breaths. His mission was finally finished. Unfortunately, he didn't feel like he would be able to live for long. He still didn't know what the consequences would be if the male lead of a world died. He just hoped that the higher-ups could handle it well.

The power from the core was suddenly sucked by Tyler, trickling into his body. But just as the power entered the latter's body, he understood why the male lead had hurried over so hurriedly. This was the original power that was meant to make him reach closer to his memories.

After finally sucking away all the power, he opened his eyes only to see the male lead's cold body lying in his arms. This man's eyes were closed as if he were sleeping, but the reality was that he wasn't breathing. Neil's chest didn't heave up and down as usual.

For a moment, Tyler couldn't believe his eyes. Did the male lead really die before him?!
