179: Chapter 179 The Crown Enters the Body, the Entire Zhejiang City Kneels Before the Little Queen

Lin Motong's body jolted.

The teddy bear in her arms fell into the sewage.

One of her colored contact lenses slipped, revealing a grey-white pupil.

The next second.

A black-red Mental Energy pressure exploded from her body.

The personal guards who had just climbed up felt their knees buckle and all knelt back into the sewage.

Firearms slipped from their hands.

Someone tried to lift their head, but their neck felt like it was being pressed down by a hand.

After Zhou Heng sent all the children away, he led the members of the Resistance to the wellhead.

He saw the personal guards kneeling all over the ground.

He saw Lin Motong.

He also saw her pair of grey-white eyes.

Zhou Heng's expression changed.

He raised his gun.

A dozen members of the Resistance also raised their guns.

Wang Ya's face turned pale.

But she did not retreat.

She stepped in front of Lin Motong and spread her arms.

Water lines from her cuffs fully deployed.

Sewage, blood, and the black liquid seeping from the walls were all drawn to her side.

"Who dares to touch my daughter!"

The voice echoed through the sewer.

Lin Yuan lifted his eyes.

He couldn't even be bothered to explain.

One step.

Water lines shot out from the sewage.

Clack, clack, clack!

A dozen guns were cut in half simultaneously.

The broken gun barrels fell to the ground, splashing water.

Zhou Heng's pupils constricted.

Dozens of blood-colored water spikes hovered in front of the throats of the Resistance members.

One more inch forward, and they would pierce their windpipes.

Lin Yuan stood beside Lin Motong, his abdomen still bleeding.

His voice was very low.

"If there is a next time."

"You won't even have the chance to kneel."

Zhou Heng's throat moved.

He looked at Lin Motong.

He then looked at Wang Ya.

Wang Ya did not lower her hands.

Her fingertips were trembling.

But the water lines did not dissipate.

A personal guard lying on the ground said with difficulty: "Captain Zhou... they are not enemies..."

"The Zombie King was also killed by him."

Another personal guard pressed his forehead against the sewage.

"Don't shoot."

"Really, don't."

Zhou Heng's gun was left in halves.

He slowly let go.

"I..."

Lin Yuan didn't look at him.

"Shut up."

Zhou Heng swallowed his words.

Wang Ya crouched down and hugged Lin Motong.

Lin Motong's body gradually went limp.

On her forehead, the black-red crown fragment looked like a small mark, flickering on and off.

[Target: Lin Motong, Mutant (Contracted)]

[Constitution 32 (+16), Mental Energy 90 (+30)]

[Superpower: SS-rank [Paradox of Reality and Illusion] → SSS-rank [Unknown]]

[Target Lin Motong is undergoing super-specification evolution.]

[During the evolution, intense Mental Energy fluctuations have blocked all communication signals.]

Lin Yuan's eyes darkened.

In the communicator, there was only static.

Liu Qing's channel was disconnected.

Wang Ya looked up: "Mr. Lin, will Tongtong..."

Lin Yuan pressed his hand on Lin Motong's forehead.

The black-red Mental Energy collided with his mental sea.

In an instant.

Lin Yuan saw the Zombie Horde covering the city.

He saw countless grey-white eyes.

He also saw Lin Motong standing alone in front of a black-red throne, holding a broken teddy bear in her arms.

She was very small.

But the throne was very high.

Lin Yuan spoke.

"She is seizing the crown."

Wang Ya didn't understand.

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand.

"If she wins, the zombie groups of Zhe City will belong to her."

"If she loses, she will be swallowed by the crown."

Wang Ya hugged Lin Motong tighter.

"Then what should we do?"

Lin Yuan looked at the unconscious little girl.

"Wait."

Just as he finished speaking.

The ground vibrated.

Rumble.

Rumble.

It was as if the entire Zhe City was shifting.

Above the wellhead, a soldier scrambled down.

His face was pale.

"They have knelt down!"

"Outside the Amusement Park, the North City District, outside the East Wall, they have all knelt down!"

"The entire Zombie Horde of Zhe City has knelt down towards this place!"

The sewer fell silent.

The personal guards couldn't lift their heads, but they all heard it.

Lin Yuan bent down and picked up the teddy bear.

The "Exclusive to the Little Queen" on the teddy bear's chest was only half left.

He put the teddy bear back into Lin Motong's arms.

Wang Ya's eyes reddened.

She lowered her head and brushed the damp hair from Lin Motong's forehead.

"Tongtong, did you hear that?"

"Mr. Lin is here."

"Mom is here too."

On the ground.

The Zhe City Safe Zone was already in chaos.

Commander Wei Guangjun was killed in action.

Captain Zhao was dead.

The Zombie King was dead.

Communications were cut off.

People in the Outer City didn't know where to run.

Middle City officers stared at each other.

Several leaders in the Inner City had already started taking people to loot the warehouses.

In the command center.

A fat officer slammed the table.

"I am the Deputy Chief Dispatcher!"

"Commander Wei is not here, so the command authority should belong to me now!"

Another officer drew his gun.

"You, a logistics manager, are qualified to command soldiers?"

The representative from the research institute pushed up his glasses.

"The most important thing now is to preserve the experimental data."

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Feng Sanhai led his people in.

He was covered in dust, and his arm was bandaged.

The fat officer shouted angrily: "Feng Sanhai, you are a neutral party, who let you bring guns into the command center?"

Feng Sanhai didn't speak.

He raised his hand.

Bang!

The bullet pierced the floor tile next to the fat officer's feet.

The conference room instantly fell silent.

Feng Sanhai continued: "Captain Zhao is dead, the Zombie King is dead, and the million-strong Zombie Horde has knelt."

"And you are still fighting for chairs."

"You have quite the post-apocalyptic work ethic."

An officer sneered: "Then do you want to sit?"

Feng Sanhai shook his head.

"I don't have that life."

"But I know who does."

On the way back from picking up those children earlier, Zhou Niannian had already told him everything that happened.

He picked up the radio, but the channel was full of static.

The satellite's microwave signals had inexplicably been lost.

But the radio shortwave could still be used.

He didn't connect to Zhou Heng.

But he still pressed the talk button.

"To that gentleman who killed the Zombie King."

"I have temporarily taken over the Zhe City command center."

"I will seal all food warehouses, armories, and medical warehouses."

"The expulsion of refugees from the Outer City has been stopped."

"Resistance members are no longer wanted."

Feng Sanhai paused for a moment.

"I am willing to act as the agent for Zhe City."

"Waiting for you to come back and inspect the goods."

No one in the conference room dared to laugh.

Because outside the window, the zombie groups were still kneeling.

Northern boundary.

Beside the wellhead.

A personal guard relayed Feng Sanhai's message to Lin Yuan.

"Mr. Lin, Feng Sanhai has taken control of the command center."

"He said... he is willing to manage Zhe City on your behalf."

"He is just an agent, waiting for you to return..."

Lin Yuan picked up Lin Motong.

Wang Ya followed beside him.

Zhou Heng looked at him: "Do you know Feng Sanhai?"

Lin Yuan said: "I don't know him."

Zhou Heng frowned.

Lin Yuan walked past him.

"But this person knows how to survive for a long time in the apocalypse."

Zhou Heng was silent.

Lin Yuan walked out of the Haunted House.

Outside the Amusement Park.

The sea of zombies stretched as far as the eye could see.

All kneeling and prostrating.

They kept their heads low, not daring to look at Lin Motong.

Zhou Heng looked at the firelight in the distant Safe Zone.

A few seconds later, he whispered: "What if Feng Sanhai becomes the next Commander Wei Guangjun?"

Lin Yuan carried Lin Motong and walked forward.

"Then we will change him for another."

Meanwhile.

Capital City.

The underground conference room of the National Emergency Response Team.

On the big screen, the image transmitted back by the satellite ten minutes ago remained.

A million-strong Zombie Horde was kneeling in the same direction.

No roaring.

No charging.

The entire city seemed to have been pressed on the mute button.

The analyst took off his headset.

"All communications in Zhe City are interrupted."

"Commander Wei Guangjun has lost contact."

No one in the conference room spoke.

A moment later, a white-haired old man spoke.

"Conclusion."

The analyst swallowed his saliva.

"An unprecedented Zombie Emperor has been born in Zhe City."

Another officer stood up abruptly.

"Nuclear strike."

"While it is still in Zhe City, wipe it out directly."

Someone retorted: "There are still one hundred thousand survivors inside!"

The officer stared at the screen.

"Once it leaves Zhe City, it won't just be a matter of one hundred thousand people."

In the corner, a woman opened a file.

The cover of the file had four words written on it.

[Player Directory]

Her fingertips stopped on one of the pages.

The name column was blotted out with black ink.

Only one line of notes remained.

[Can form contracts with zombies.]

The woman looked up.

"Don't bomb it yet."

"Perhaps it is not a bad thing."

The officer shouted angrily: "Are you out of your mind?"

The white-haired old man raised his hand: "Contact him."

Northern boundary of Zhe City.

Lin Yuan carried the unconscious Lin Motong and stood before the million-strong Zombie Horde.

The black-red mark on Lin Motong's forehead suddenly lit up.

She closed her eyes.

Her lips moved slightly.

The voice was very light.

But it caused the entire sea of zombies to look up simultaneously.

"Daddy..."
