Eating Is What I Do Best

"Hm?"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look.

They saw a handsome young man standing quietly in the doorway, his expression calm.

"Why is there another man here?"

The short, fat man frowned.

The three female keepers and the old night watchman were all terrified, their hearts filled with shock.

Because they knew there was no one named Lin Dong here.

He had appeared out of nowhere!

"Hiss..."

They all sucked in a breath, a chill running down their spines.

Was he a human or a ghost?

The refined-looking man, however, did not care in the slightest. He had killed countless people and had long since become numb to it.

A man... couldn't he just kill him?

So, the refined-looking man walked toward Lin Dong step by step, unaware that he was already heading into the abyss!

"Kid, you're dressed pretty clean. Die!"

The man swung his fist at Lin Dong's chin. With his strength, he could kill an ordinary person in one blow.

But Lin Dong stood still, a glint of red flickering in his eyes.

Then something bizarre happened.

The man's fist passed straight through Lin Dong's body.

"What..."

The refined-looking man immediately realized something was wrong.

The person before him seemed incorporeal. He was clearly standing right there, yet could not be touched at all.

How strange!

Panic instantly filled him.

A powerful sense of unease spread through his heart.

The scene before him was utterly incomprehensible.

The people behind him were also dumbfounded. There really was something wrong with this person!

Then, with a wave of Lin Dong's hand, a dagger appeared and plunged directly into the man's chest.

There was no blood on the man's chest, but his expression froze, his pupils dilated, and he died on the spot.

This was also one of Lin Dong's Corpse Domain abilities.

It passed through the man's chest and attacked his heart directly.

With a twist of his wrist,

the dagger in his hand dug out the man's heart.

The bright red heart steamed with heat, blood dripping from it continuously.

"G-Ghost!"

The others had never seen such a terrifying sight. Their scalps went numb, and even the vicious short, fat man had trembling legs!

Lin Dong examined the heart and found that an Awakened's blood was not particularly clean. The energy it contained was no different from an ordinary person's.

But on second thought, that did not seem right.

According to official reports, the power of Awakened people came from the Brain Core inside their skulls.

With that in mind, Lin Dong looked at the limp corpse at his feet.

He casually tossed aside the heart impaled on his dagger, then stabbed the man in the forehead and cut open his head.

Inside, he found a round ball of flesh about the size of a thumb pad.

It contained pure energy and gave off a fragrant scent.

"This seems pretty good..."

Lin Dong removed the flesh ball and tried putting it into his mouth. As expected, it was very sweet and delicious, like the taste of a cherry to an ordinary person.

The power within it also turned into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel extremely comfortable.

Unfortunately, it contained too little energy.

Lin Dong had not had enough of it yet...

So, his gaze shifted toward the short, fat man.

The short, fat man's body shuddered at once. It was as if he had been targeted by a wild beast. He was so frightened that he nearly wet himself and hurriedly fled toward the door.

"Mom! A ghost! Don't kill me!"

He had just reached the doorway and was about to rush out when Lin Dong waved his hand, driving his long fingers into the back of the man's head.

Using his Corpse Domain ability through the skull,

he extracted the man's Brain Core.

The short, fat man went limp and collapsed to the ground, dead as well.

With just a few casual motions,

Lin Dong had killed two Awakened. He was truly ruthless.

"P-Please... don't kill me!"

"Wuwuwu, spare us."

"..."

The survivors were terrified beyond measure. Huddled together, they kept begging for mercy.

Lin Dong looked them over.

Ordinary human flesh meant little to him.

It was usually just "dog food."

"Hm, I won't kill you."

"R-Really?"

They looked stunned, clearly surprised.

Lin Dong nodded.

"I'm not some kind of demon..."

"Uh..."

They opened their mouths, doubtful of that claim. Before this, they had thought Lin Dong was even more terrifying than a demon!

But just then,

a foul wind suddenly rose outside, and a vicious aura spread through the air.

"Awooo~~~"

A wolf's howl rang through the entire zoo, shrill and hysterical.

Ghosts weeping and wolves howling.

It made everyone shiver from head to toe!

The old night watchman's eyes widened instantly, terror reaching its peak.

"Oh no! We were too loud and lured that monster back! It found us."

"Oh?"

Lin Dong turned to look outside.

Through the gaps between the steel bars blocking the opening, Lin Dong saw a scarlet eye as large as a lightbulb. It brimmed with bloodthirsty killing intent as it peered into the room.

The survivors turned ashen.

"It's that mutated beast. It ate all the animals in the entire zoo! It's come to eat us again..."

Boom!

As he spoke, the wall was struck by tremendous force.

Dust rained down from the ceiling.

The beast was immensely strong. After several impacts, the steel bars began to bend, making an ear-splitting screech.

Rumble!

Finally, a huge hole was smashed through the wall.

Two ferocious beast heads appeared before them. It was a towering giant wolf, over two meters tall and more powerfully built than a yak.

Most bizarrely, the wolf had two heads.

Its four lightbulb-sized eyes glinted fiercely, while its bared fangs were incredibly sharp, each as long as a dagger.

Clearly, it was a mutated beast!

"Roar—"

The Two-Headed Wolf roared at the people inside, savage and violent, with a hint of smugness.

The old night watchman raised his tranquilizer gun and pulled the trigger.

"Run if you can. I'm an old man anyway, and I've lived long enough. Let it eat me first!"

But the Two-Headed Wolf's fur stood up like steel needles, and its hide was incredibly tough. Even bullets might not penetrate it. The tranquilizer dart simply bounced away.

"Oh no..."

Against such a vicious giant wolf, they had no chance of resisting.

That attack just now

had instead enraged the giant wolf even further.

It was about to crawl through the shattered wall.

Lin Dong stood where he was, studying it with interest. The wolf was huge, muscular, and streamlined. It looked rather appetizing...

As a Zombie King, eating was what he did best!

"What does wolf meat taste like?"

"Ah?"

The survivors were all stunned.

He was actually planning to eat the wolf???

By then, the giant wolf had fully crawled inside. Standing over two meters tall, it stood before Lin Dong.

Its two heads lowered their eyes to look down at him, its mountain-like body radiating immense pressure.

But Lin Dong met its gaze directly, completely unafraid.

"Domain expansion..."

In an instant, the red glow in his eyes intensified as a blood-colored domain spread outward...
