341: The Domineering Zombie King
Seeing that the other party had not reacted for a long time, Ding Teng's face sank, and he said coldly, "What, are you unwilling?"
Qi Pengju immediately felt as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake, and the hair on his body stood on end.
He was afraid that if he said no, he would be met with a furious attack from the other party.
Qi Pengju braced himself and said, "Mr. Ding, you are a dignified Zombie Emperor, but Dujiang City is full of humans. I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to be the City Lord."
Ding Teng narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "I'm not discussing this with you; it's an order."
"Surrender or die, the choice is yours."
As his words fell, a dense, suffocating killing intent enveloped Qi Pengju and the others.
Beads of sweat immediately covered the foreheads of Qi Pengju and the others.
Weaker Evolution users even collapsed directly to the ground under the pressure of this killing intent, trembling uncontrollably.
"If Qin Shi Lei were here, could he block this Zombie Emperor?"
"Although Qin Shi Lei also coveted the position of City Lord, he wasn't as detestable as this Zombie Emperor, who just outright snatched it."
"This is bad. This Zombie Emperor isn't really planning to keep us like livestock, is he? In that case, I'd rather have Qin Shi Lei as the City Lord."
"Where did this Qin go? He didn't just run away when he saw things going south, did he?"
Many thoughts instantly popped into everyone's minds.
However, Ding Teng did not give them more time to overthink.
He flashed and appeared beside Qi Pengju, reaching out and grabbing the latter's neck before he could even react.
Qi Pengju immediately felt his breathing constricted, but he dared not move.
Because the icy sensation on his neck made him not doubt that with just a slight squeeze from the other party, those sharp and hard fingernails would instantly sever his head.
At this moment, he felt death was so close to him.
He couldn't help but think, "If only Qin Shi Lei could appear here."
"Die or surrender?" Ding Teng's cold voice came again.
"Cough, cough, I give up."
Qi Pengju ultimately did not have the courage to say no.
Ding Teng scanned the surroundings, threateningly saying, "Do any of you have objections?"
Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, as if all the blood in their bodies could not flow.
Seeing Ding Teng's impatient expression, someone finally couldn't bear the pressure and was the first to speak, "Since the old City Lord also agreed to abdicate, we naturally have no objections."
The rest of the people also spoke up, meekly saying, "We have no objections."
Those who could survive until now were not fools; even if they had other thoughts, they could only hide them deep in their hearts and wait for an opportunity to break free from the control of this Zombie Emperor.
"Open the city gates." Ding Teng released Qi Pengju's neck and ordered.
Everyone's expressions changed again.
Was this to let the zombies outside the city enter Dujiang City and wreak havoc?
Seeing Qi Pengju hesitate, Ding Teng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the former.
Qi Pengju felt the killing intent from before once again pressing down on him, making him almost unable to breathe, and he said in a trembling voice, "O-open the city gates."
The city gates slowly opened, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
"Roar!"
With a roar from Ding Teng, dozens of Silver Peak zombies immediately rushed out from the zombie horde outside the city, guarding a child riding on the back of a white tiger, and walked towards the city gates.
"Return to the City Lord's Mansion."
Ding Teng took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then walked down from the city wall.
"Dad, can we go play with other kids now?"
Ding Wenle pounced, directly jumping from the white tiger's back into Ding Teng's arms, asking happily.
"Yes, someone will play with you in a moment."
Ding Teng pinched his son's cheek with a loving expression.
Then he turned his head and said to Qi Pengju and the others, "He will be your Young City Lord. Protect him well for me. If he loses even a single hair, everyone in Dujiang City will accompany him in death."
Qi Pengju and the others were completely stunned.
This Zombie Emperor, after turning into a zombie, still retained human emotions and even knew how to cherish his son?
Despite their daze, everyone quickly responded, "We will definitely protect the Young City Lord well."
When under someone else's roof, one has no choice but to bow one's head.
Not to mention this Zombie Emperor, even those dozens of Silver Peak zombies could wreak havoc in Dujiang City.
With complex feelings, everyone followed Ding Teng and quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Ding Wenle was already playing with several children his age in the backyard.
At each of the four corners of the backyard stood a Silver Peak zombie guarding it.
The remaining zombies also dispersed, surrounding the City Lord's Mansion.
Fortunately, these zombies were intelligent zombies, and with Ding Teng suppressing them, they didn't bite people on sight, allowing them to serve as guards.
Ding Teng sat in the City Lord's main seat, resting his cheek in his hand, contemplating his next move.
Qi Pengju and the others stood below, looking uneasy, occasionally stealing glances at the newly appointed Zombie Emperor.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a clear eagle cry came from outside.
A bright light flashed in the eyes of Qi Pengju and the others.
This eagle cry was like the sound of nature, giving them infinite hope.
Half a day ago, they had been as eager for Qin Shi Lei to leave Dujiang City as they were now eager to hear this eagle cry, which signaled Qin Shi Lei's return.
Ding Teng frowned and flashed out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a warning, "If my son suffers even the slightest mishap, everyone in Dujiang City will accompany him in death."
As soon as he came out of the City Lord's Mansion, Ding Teng discovered that seven or eight of his subordinates had already been killed by the newcomer.
"Stop!"
He roared angrily while quickly rushing towards Qin Shi Lei.
Qin Shi Lei turned around and forced the other party back with a sword.
Only then did he have time to size up the other party.
"Zombie Emperor?"
From the other party's fingernails, Qin Shi Lei felt that the other party was a zombie. However, the other party's demeanor and movements did not resemble a zombie at all.
The zombies guarding around, seeing their Zombie Emperor come out, immediately surrounded him, preparing to attack Qin Shi Lei.
"Good timing!"
Devouring Thunder!
The most powerful and pure lightning descended from the sky, instantly blasting the surrounding zombies into ashes.
Ding Teng, this Zombie Emperor, actually withstood the heavenly lightning and quickly rushed towards Qin Shi Lei.
His sharp fingernails slashed past, producing a sharp and piercing sound.
Several deep scratches appeared on the armor around Qin Shi Lei's neck.
So fast, and the attack power is also very strong.
Qin Shi Lei stopped casting Devouring Thunder and quickly retreated, avoiding the other party's continuous attacks.
Name: Zombie Emperor
Description: A born monarch, possessing absolute dominion over ordinary zombies. Golden Peak, proficient in earth-element abilities, with extremely strong self-healing capabilities. Weakness: Fears the most powerful and pure forces.
"Not bad!" Ding Teng said with a disdainful expression, "Are you interested in becoming a subordinate of my Zombie Emperor? When I rule the world in the future, I will grant you the title of Grand Supervisor of Blue Star, allowing you to manage hundreds of billions of humans for me."
