Crow

The three of them looked terrified, because they knew this man was a pervert who intended to feed them to zombies.

One of them trembled as he desperately shrank backward.

Thick Lips saw this.

"Alright, then it'll be you."

"Ah? Mmmph! Mmmphhh!"

With his mouth taped shut, the man could only make muffled noises.

Thick Lips stepped forward, grabbed the back of his neck, and lifted him like a chick before turning to walk outside.

No matter how the man struggled, it was useless.

He watched helplessly as the zombie room drew closer and closer, his heart sinking completely.

When the door opened, a heavy stench of blood wafted out.

The Female Zombie inside looked excited, repeatedly letting out roars.

"Look at how happy my darling Yingying is..."

Thick Lips gazed at her sentimentally.

"Mmmphhh!"

The man had been frightened to tears, whimpering through his gagged mouth.

Thick Lips ripped the tape off his mouth.

"What? Any last words?"

"Waaah... Please, let me go. I really don't want to die! Waaah..."

The man begged through sobs.

Thick Lips shook his head.

"You should consider it an honor to witness the love between Yingying and me."

Holding the man, he walked toward the zombie step by step.

The man was about to be fed to the zombie.

But just then.

A figure suddenly materialized behind them.

Lin Dong no longer wanted to watch. None of this had any value to him; the only thing of value was the Soul Crystal inside Thick Lips's head.

He planned to kill him directly, take the Soul Crystal, and leave.

"Hm?"

But Thick Lips was very perceptive. The instant Lin Dong appeared, he noticed and hurriedly turned around.

"Why is there another person? How did you get in?"

Yet the moment Lin Dong appeared, the Female Zombie abruptly fell silent. She sensed the pressure of a Zombie King, and her originally vicious expression suddenly turned reverent, even showing signs of submission.

"This..."

Thick Lips's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

He suddenly recalled how the goddess he had once pursued so desperately and treated with utmost respect had groveled before someone else.

A powerful wave of jealousy spread through the air.

"Now that I'm an Awakened, people like you should die!" Thick Lips roared.

Lin Dong examined him. Perhaps the apocalypse and prolonged repression had twisted this man's heart.

He wondered whether absorbing this man's Crystal Core...

would affect his mental state.

The bound man saw Lin Dong and seemed to see hope again.

"Brother, hurry and save me! This guy's a pervert. He wants to feed me to zombies!"

"Oh..."

Lin Dong did not care.

So what if he was a pervert? Lin Dong was a zombie...

Thick Lips looked ferocious as a faint red glow swirled around his hands. His aura became powerful; he was clearly an Awakened with enhanced physical abilities.

"Let me show you... the strength of an Awakened!"

He stretched out his mutated hands and lunged at Lin Dong, moving extremely fast.

But to Lin Dong, it was merely average. With a thought, the Zombie King Domain unfolded!

A powerful pressure spread in every direction.

Thick Lips was instantly enveloped. His body froze, as if someone had pressed pause, leaving him rigidly standing in place.

Because Lin Dong had absorbed five Crystal Cores, his Corpse Domain had become even more powerful.

Ordinary Awakened could barely move an inch within the Corpse Domain.

Thick Lips felt as though he were carrying a mountain on his back, his legs trembling. In his eyes, everything around him was crimson, as if he faced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, while Lin Dong was the ruler standing atop the peak!

"How... is this possible?"

Thick Lips stared in horror, his body trembling even harder.

Usually, he dictated the lives of others and took pride in being an Awakened. Yet before the man in front of him, he had no chance to fight back.

Lin Dong did not care about any of that and walked toward him step by step.

Thick Lips sensed the aura of death, as though the Grim Reaper were approaching him.

He knew what was about to happen.

So, using all his strength, he slowly turned his head like a puppet on strings and stared blankly at the Female Zombie.

"If I can't resist death, then let me look at you one more time before I die."

That was Thick Lips's final thought.

Lin Dong's slender fingers had already plunged into his head, piercing straight through his skull and extracting the Crystal Core within.

The man instantly lost consciousness.

His vision went dark, and he fell straight to the floor.

"Just like that, he's dead?"

The man beside them stared in shock. He had no idea what had happened; he only saw Lin Dong approach Thick Lips and kill him with effortless ease.

"Brother, you're amazing! Hurry, come save me! Untie these ropes!"

But Lin Dong merely glanced at him, completely unmoved.

Had Lin Dong ever said he would save him?

"Huh? You..."

The man understood what he meant. The hope he had just found plunged back into despair.

Just then.

The sound of flapping wings came from the bedroom window.

A gigantic Crow landed on the balcony.

The Crow stood a full meter tall. Its eyes were blood-red, and its feathers gleamed black like daggers.

It had clearly been drawn here by the scent of blood.

Its red eyes stared straight into the room through the gaps in the alloy railing.

"Want to eat... I want to eat... Please open it for me, thank you..."

"Oh?"

Lin Dong looked surprised. He had not expected this Crow to speak human language. He did not know whether it had crossbred with a myna or something, and it was even quite polite...

Lin Dong looked at Thick Lips's body on the floor. It was useless to him anyway.

Out of curiosity, Lin Dong walked to the window and shoved hard with both hands, opening the alloy railing.

"Thank you... Thank you..."

The black Crow immediately smashed through the glass and flew into the room, then began tearing into Thick Lips's corpse.

Its beak was extremely sharp, like a guillotine. With one bite, it severed Thick Lips's arm and swallowed the entire thing.

It left not even a scrap of bone behind. It was utterly terrifying.

The man beside them was dumbfounded. He had never expected that, besides zombies, there would be such monsters in the apocalypse.

And although the Crow was not particularly large, it had an astonishing appetite.

Thick Lips's corpse

was quickly devoured completely, yet it still seemed unsatisfied.

The Crow's red eyes then turned toward the bound man beside it.

But with Lin Dong present, it seemed too embarrassed to simply eat him.

It asked in its distinctive birdlike voice.

"I'm not full. Can I eat him too?"

"If you want to eat him, go ahead..."

Lin Dong did not care.

The Crow actually nodded, seeming rather grateful.

"Thank you, thank you. You aren't eating him yourself and gave the meat to me. You're truly a good person."

"You're welcome."

Lin Dong said.

"Hmm???"

The man beside them heard their conversation and was utterly dumbfounded.

This was what they called a good person?

Do you have any manners???
