172: Chapter 172 I'm not the Corpse King, I'm Uncle Lin's Little Queen

A hoarse Mental Energy wave swept across the Amusement Park.

Captain Liu Meng's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to his knees.

Zhou Heng carried Zhou Niannian on his back, his gun still pointed at the escort team, but his expression darkened.

The outer ring of the Zombie Horde began to move.

One second, the escort team and the Resistance were still firing at each other.

The next second, they all became meat in a cage.

Captain Liu Meng roared, "Fire! Fire!"

Gunfire erupted.

Bullets swept into the Zombie Horde; the front row of zombies fell, and those behind immediately stepped over the corpses to fill the gap.

A Strength-type guard beside Captain Liu Meng was just about to charge out when his knees went weak, and he fell directly to the ground.

"My Superpower is gone!"

"The Zombie King is suppressing us!"

Under the Ferris wheel, the nine children began to convulse.

The incense by the iron beds burned brighter.

The 037 iron tag on Lin Motong's chest swayed gently.

Lin Yuan pressed down on her head.

"Now, it is your turn."

Wang Ya looked at him abruptly.

Lin Motong, however, nodded.

She hugged her little bear and walked toward the iron bed.

Captain Liu Meng stared, dumbfounded.

"Are you crazy? That is the Zombie King!"

Lin Yuan glanced at him.

Captain Liu Meng shut his mouth.

He suddenly felt that his previous nonsense could easily be taken as his last words.

Lin Motong stood in the middle of the ten iron beds and closed her eyes.

The next second, her consciousness was dragged into the darkness.

...

Dream Nest.

This was not the Amusement Park.

It was a place pieced together from the nightmares of countless children.

The corridor was narrow.

The walls were covered in scratch marks.

An eight-year-old boy ran ahead, chased by a black shadow behind him.

The black shadow had no face, but its mouth was split to its ears.

"You have been abandoned."

"Mom and Dad don't want you anymore."

"Sleep, and you won't be hungry anymore."

The boy cried until he couldn't catch his breath.

Lin Motong stood at the end of the corridor.

She did not rush up to tear the black shadow apart.

She raised her hand.

The walls changed.

The dirty corridor vanished.

An old dining table appeared.

On the table was a bowl of hot porridge.

A woman sat by the table, her eyes red, but she pushed the porridge toward the boy.

"Drink slowly."

"Mom saved this for you."

The boy stopped.

The black shadow lunged at his back, but its movements stiffened.

"Fake!"

"It's all fake!"

Lin Motong said in a low voice, "Dreams are fake by nature."

"But hunger is real."

"It is also real that someone wants you to live."

The boy opened his eyes abruptly.

In reality, child 031's body jolted, and the convulsions stopped.

The Dream Nest shook.

The Zombie King's Mental Energy wave pressed down.

"A wild King-type."

"You dare to steal my dreams?"

Lin Motong did not answer.

She turned and walked into the second nightmare.

A little girl was curled up in a cabinet.

Outside the cabinet door, a man's footsteps paced back and forth.

"Come out."

"Your mother sold you."

"Traded you for food stamps."

The girl covered her mouth, not daring to cry out loud.

Lin Motong looked at her.

She thought of her past self.

After Li Hongda got drunk, he would look for her just like this.

She raised her hand.

The cabinet door opened.

Outside was not the man.

It was the activity room of Tiangong No. 1.

Tang Qiqi was holding fabric, needle and thread in her mouth, cursing indistinctly, "Don't move, this is the Little Queen's exclusive combat dress, limited edition worldwide, the labor cost is very high."

The girl froze.

Tang Qiqi draped a small cloak over her shoulders.

"In the future, if anyone bullies you, just drop my name."

"Although I can't fight, I can call for backup."

The girl smiled.

The nightmare shattered.

In reality, child 032 opened their eyes and gasped for air.

Wang Ya's eyes reddened, and she immediately rushed over to undo the chains.

Captain Liu Meng watched in a daze.

Zhou Heng also stopped.

The two teams that had just been fighting until they were bruised and battered, by tacit understanding, fell silent.

Deep in the Dream Nest, the Zombie King was furious.

The entire space compressed.

Countless black shadows crawled out from the walls and lunged at Lin Motong.

"You mimic human warmth."

"You are not fit to be a King."

"A King must devour the weak."

Lin Motong took half a step back.

Her body began to fade.

The little bear also tore open.

The Zombie King's Mental Energy was too immense.

It was not just a single monster.

It was the will pressed out by the entire Zombie Horde of Zhe City.

In reality, Lin Motong's face turned pale.

Wang Ya had just saved the second child and turned to see this scene.

"Tongtong!"

Lin Yuan raised his hand and pressed it onto Lin Motong's forehead.

"Don't compete with it over who is more like a Zombie King."

His Mental Energy opened up.

The Black Sea descended.

Lin Motong's consciousness was supported by a hand.

It was her first time seeing Lin Yuan's Mental Sea.

It had no boundaries.

Spatial rifts opened in the darkness.

The Sky Torrent hung upside down.

Blood-colored beast shadows lurked under the waves.

White lines of frost spread along the way.

Deeper inside, there were countless suppressed phantom images.

Shen Qingyue's resentment.

Director Li Wenhui's fear.

The wails of the Ninja Elder.

And countless enemies who had died at Lin Yuan's hands.

They were all beneath the Black Sea.

Unable to rise again.

Lin Motong watched intently.

So, Uncle Lin was never afraid of monsters.

Because he himself was something deeper.

Lin Yuan's voice echoed in her mind.

"You are Lin Motong."

"Tiangong No. 1's Lin Motong."

"Not the wild King-type it calls you."

Lin Motong hugged the little bear tighter.

Her body solidified again.

"Kneel."

The Zombie King laughed.

"You are ordering me?"

"A wild product, and you dare to order me?"

Lin Yuan's voice sounded again.

"Now."

"Make it kneel."

Lin Motong raised her eyes.

In the Dream Nest, she looked at that massive shadow.

In reality, the 037 iron tag on her chest stopped swaying.

She spoke again.

Her voice was very soft.

"I said, kneel."

Outside the Amusement Park, tens of thousands of zombies suddenly stopped.

The gunfire stopped.

The roaring stopped.

The wind even stopped.

The next second, the Zombie Horde turned in unison.

They knelt toward the Ferris wheel.

The front row knelt.

The back row knelt.

The Zombie Horde on the streets further away also lowered their bodies in waves.

Captain Liu Meng's mouth hung open; he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Inside the Dream Nest, the rules of reality flooded in.

The Zombie King's massive mental body sank abruptly.

Its knees were forced to bend.

"Impossible!"

"You are not the Zombie King!"

Bang!

The Zombie King knelt in the center of the Dream Nest.

The ground cracked.

Lin Motong stood by the crack, holding the "Little Queen Exclusive" bear in her arms.

A red light lit up in her eyes.

"I am not the Zombie King."

"I am Uncle Lin's Little Queen."

The Dream Nest exploded.

In reality, the children on the iron beds opened their eyes one by one.

The children woke up crying.

The Zombie King abandoned the Dream Nest.

A streak of black light burrowed from beneath the Ferris wheel and rushed toward the Haunted House deep in the Amusement Park.

Lin Motong opened her eyes, her body swaying slightly.

Lin Yuan supported her.

"Well done."

[Ding! Target Lin Motong, Favorability +4%, Current Favorability: 34%.]

Lin Motong looked up.

"It ran underground."

Lin Yuan looked toward the Haunted House.

"Then we will dig it out."

Captain Liu Meng, who was on the side, knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

The people from the Resistance withdrew far away, and they did not dare to pursue.

Because the terrifying pressure remained.

Wang Ya untied the children one by one, and the surrounding zombies knelt, not daring to lift their heads.

The radio suddenly crackled.

Captain Zhao's voice came through.

"Captain Liu Meng, hold on."

"I'll be there soon."

Captain Liu Meng's expression changed.

He wanted to warn Captain Zhao not to come.

But the channel had already cut off.

Outside the Amusement Park, several armored off-road vehicles broke through the edges of the kneeling Zombie Horde and forced their way in.

Captain Zhao jumped out of the vehicle.

He saw the kneeling Zombie Horde and also saw the children waking up.

His eyes were first filled with fear.

Then, with greed.

Is this the new Zombie King detected earlier?

If I can get my hands on it.

What is Commander Wei Guangjun?

Captain Zhao looked at Lin Motong and licked his lips.

He did not look at Lin Yuan, the "father."

That man's strength made him wary.

His gaze fell on Wang Ya.

From beginning to end, this "mother" was just saving the children.

Gentle.

Beautiful.

A weakness.

And she was the closest to him.

Captain Zhao's body suddenly expanded a size, and the ground cracked under his feet.

A-rank Physical-type Superpower fully activated.

He lunged toward Wang Ya.

One hand grabbed for her neck, the other held a short knife pressed toward Lin Motong.

"Don't move!"

"Whoever moves, I will kill her!"

"Obey me, and I will spare her life."

Captain Liu Meng's face turned white on the spot.

Idiot.

He really knows how to pick.

Captain Zhao's roar still echoed in the Amusement Park.

His hand was only half an inch away from Wang Ya's neck.

The next second.

A water thread thinner than a strand of hair slid out from Wang Ya's sleeve and wrapped around his wrist.

The smile on Captain Zhao's face froze.
