Dying in Wang Bujian's Place

The patrolmen glared angrily. They rushed over, barely suppressing their rage, chopped off the man's hand, and pinned him to the ground.

He did not struggle, nor did he fire at the people who rushed at him.

Instead, he wore a strange smile.

His face then turned blue, he foamed at the mouth, and soon stopped breathing.

The patrol captain grabbed his chin and tried to choke him, but it was too late; he could only watch helplessly as the poison took effect and he died.

The others screamed, "Leader! Go get a doctor right now!"

"Stop the bleeding first!"

After Wang Bujian was shot, he was tackled to the ground by the nearest resident.

They wanted to use their bodies to shield him from the bullets that followed.

This loyalty was something he hadn't expected.

only...

He was completely covered up and remained expressionless.

Fortunately, after the man was subdued, the person on top of him also hurriedly got up and checked his wounds.

Many people had tears on their faces, their eyes filled with fear and unease, afraid of seeing the outcome they did not want to see.

But... at such close range, that shot also hit Wang Bujian. They dared not think about it. Even if Wang Bujian was Evolver, he was still just a mortal with eyes of flesh and blood. What if Wang Bujian really died?

That Immortal Royal Court will also cease to exist.

Those who depend on the base for survival will return to their previous state of displacement.

Their time living in the Immortal Royal Court was actually quite short. In other bases, such a short time would be far from enough for them to develop a sense of belonging.

If the base is gone, they can just find another one.

But the Immortal Royal Court is different, and its leader is different too.

Wang Bujian was the kind of king who had absolute authority and was extremely autocratic.

However, due to the constraints imposed by the Anomaly Containment Association, he was also a kind and easy-going king.

Living in the apocalypse, they had seen their share of cruel leaders, but compared to other leaders, Wang Bujian was practically a saint in their eyes!

Everyone who learned that their leader had been attacked rushed over here in a frenzy.

Among these people, there were also some with ulterior motives.

They exchanged a glance, then mingled in the crowd, intending to take advantage of the chaos to obtain the blood of this first Evolver.

At the same time, they were surprised by the deaths of the Evolver.

They also harbored deep resentment towards the person who launched the attack.

After all, experimental subjects used in experiments are more valuable when they are alive.

But once it dies, its value decreases countless times.

With no other option, they had to take other actions to mitigate the losses, at least to obtain a copy of the Evolver's genes and bring it back safely.

Meanwhile, Wan Wu was away from home, also received the news.

His expression changed drastically. "What? The leader has been attacked? Seal off the entire base!"

Then he realized that the Immortal Royal Court's base was located in several Small Town, and because there was no threat of Zombie Tide, they hadn't built many defensive measures.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The Zombie Tide is gone, but it's not enough to stop those with ill intentions from sneaking in.

It's very difficult to seal off the area once something goes wrong.

By the time they got back, the culprits would probably have already escaped.

"Leader!"

"Apply pressure to stop the bleeding!"

Everyone was in a panic. They knew that the chances of Wang Bujian surviving were very slim, but no matter how slim, they were unwilling to give up any hope.

If they could die in place of Wang Bujian, everyone present would probably wish they were dead themselves.

Wang Bujian raised his hand. "Wait, I'm fine."
