Chapter 253 - 253 Keeping Up Appearances

253 Keeping Up Appearances

Wang Ran continued to walk through the zombie crowd.

A million zombies was a ridiculous amount.

It would take a few kilometers of walking to reach the middle.

Fortunately, most of the zombies were sitting or lying down. Otherwise, Wang Ran might not even be able to tell the direction.

After walking for a while, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

“Someone is pretending to be a zombie!”

Someone in front shouted.

All the zombies in the area stirred.

Wang Ran panicked. Had his disguise been discovered?

He was not even close to his goal.

Just as Wang Ran was about to go on a rampage, he suddenly realized that the zombies around him were all rushing forward.

“It’s not me?”

Wang Ran quickly realized this.

Wang Ran also went over, acting like a curious bystander.

“Comrade, what’s the situation?” Wang Ran grabbed a silver-eyed zombie and asked.

“A human hid among us when we were slaughtering the last city.

“He wore silver contact lenses, covered himself in zombie blood, and filled his pockets with zombie innards. He really tricked us.

“Just now, when everyone was sleeping, the guy actually snored! Zombies don’t snore!

“He was ripped apart by the surrounding zombies. Now, they’re having a meal.

“Are you thinking of joining in? It’s too late now. There won’t be anything left,” the silver-eyed zombie explained.

“Ah, I haven’t had meat for a long time. What a shame,” Wang Ran sighed and muttered as he continued to walk towards the middle of the zombie tide.

It seemed that he was not the only impostor.

However, that guy was quite unlucky. He had pretended to be a zombie to escape the slaughter, but did not attempt to escape.

He was actually stupid enough to spend the night among the zombies…

Wang Ran shook his head.

Because of the incident just now, the originally silent zombie camp had been roused up.

Many zombies started to look around, trying to find another human to have a sumptuous meal.

Wang Ran naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, as soon as the zombies got close to Wang Ran, they quickly turned away.

The smell was overpowering!

After walking for a few minutes, Wang Ran saw a high-speed rest stop.

A few zombies with golden eyes were guarding the entrance of the resting station.

Needless to say, the Zombie Monarch had to be resting in the resting station.

Wang Ran circled the area a few times, but he could not find a point where he could sneak in.

From the looks of it, he would have to try talking his way in.

Wang Ran went straight to the golden-eyed guard at the door.

“What do you want?!”

Two guards came over and stopped Wang Ran.

“I have something to discuss with Lord Tu!” Wang Ran said in a serious manner.

“What does a puny silver-eyed boy want with the boss?

“Get outta here!” one of the golden-eyed guards said impatiently.

“I really have something important to inform Lord Tu. If it’s delayed, can you bear the responsibility?”

Wang Ran glared at the golden-eyed zombie.

The golden-eyed zombie was stunned.

He did not want to get into trouble.

“If you insist…

“Let’s first see what you are!” the golden-eyed zombie said.

“A test?”

Wang Ran frowned.

Even zombies are doing this?

“There was news just now that a human had been hiding among us. Before you meet the boss, you’ll have to prove that you’re a zombie.

“It’s very simple. Let us scratch you with our claws.”

The golden-eyed zombie extended a finger, and a cold light glowed from the tip of the finger.

“Sure, let’s get it over with!”

Wang Ran calmly extended his hand.

It was a simple, practical test.

If it were any other human, they would immediately be infected.

Even a low-level Awakened One would visibly struggle as their immune system staved off the virus. It was still very easy to tell.

The golden-eyed zombie made a cut on Wang Ran’s arm.

Wang Ran immediately retracted his hand.

Zombies shouldn’t heal so rapidly. It would be troublesome if he was discovered.

“What are you doing?

“Why are you in such a hurry? Are you panicking?” the golden-eyed zombie asked cautiously.

“I’m a shy person. I don’t like to expose too much of my body in front of male zombies,” Wang Ran said with a straight face.

The golden-eyed zombie was stunned. He had no words to refute him.

He just had to see if he became infected.

A few minutes passed, and Wang Ran’s face remained calm. He had not been affected by the virus at all.

“Guess you’re not a human.

“Enter.”

The golden-eyed zombie waved his hand impatiently.

As long as it was not a human spy, he had absolutely no reason to be concerned.

Before a Zombie Monarch, nothing else mattered.

Wang Ran successfully passed through the guards and swaggered into the resting station.

Inside the rest station, the white-haired Tu was lying on a code-scanning electric massage chair.

Behind him, a red-eyed female zombie was giving him a massage.

“You. Who let you in?”

Tu suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Wang Ran.

A strong force burst out, and the red-eyed female zombie behind Tu couldn’t help but shudder.

Wang Ran instantly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Under such circumstances, it was possible to kill Tu, but it would cause too much of a commotion.

After killing Tu, he would be besieged by the entire horde of zombies.

As powerful as he was, he had his limits.

‘No, I can’t fight him head-on.’

He could only use his wits.

Wang Ran quickly put on a frightened appearance.

He had to play along with the Monarch’s show of force.

“Lord Tu, I have something important to report!” Wang Ran said, while trembling.

“Speak!”

Tu barely acknowledged Wang Ran’s presence.

If this puny silver-eyed one was too tongue-tied to speak, he would simply kill him.

When there was no human meat to eat, it was okay to eat some Mutated Zombie brains.

“Lord, Brother Ah Liang is acting suspiciously!”

“He and a few of the golden-eyed zombies close to him were discussing about hogging most of the Awakened Ones in the next city before your Lordship and the others arrive. They only plan to leave a few ordinary humans for you guys.

“He also said that he has done it in the past, and you fell for it.”

Wang Ran put on a good show of acting.

“What?!”

Tu smacked the massage chair so hard that it broke into pieces.

“F*ck…

“Ah Liang. I gave him the honor of being the vanguard, yet he’s doing this to me?

“No wonder there were so few Awakened Ones in the previous city…”

Tu already had some doubts about Ah Liang, and after being tricked by Wang Ran, he rapidly jumped to conclusions.

In his eyes, a mere silver-eyed zombie wouldn’t have the guts to lie to him.

“You’ve done well.

“I’ll reward you with this female zombie for a night.

“You can have fun here for now. I’m going to f*cking kill Ah Liang…”

Tu stood up and strode out.
