After every zombie within mainland Huaguo had been wiped out, peace finally returned after a long absence.
The ordinary people waiting at the other bases prayed constantly, hoping... that Dark Night Base could hold out.
They hoped that Huaguo's countless Ability Users could hold out, but...
No news came, even after a long wait.
Their hearts grew heavier and heavier.
When the Communicator finally rang, everyone's heart leaped into their throat again!
The voice that came through was unfamiliar.
The Communicators had been around for so long that everyone had become familiar with every person who owned one.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice all of a sudden instantly put everyone on edge.
"Sir! All the zombies are dead, and so is the Zombie Emperor! Captain Bai killed him! But... our people are all dead too!
Captain Bai is dead! Dark Night is dead! Elder Long, Captain Chen, Captain Xie-they're all dead! The leaders of all the bases are dead too!"
As the leader listened to the anguished screams coming through the Communicator in his hand, it suddenly slipped from his grasp. He couldn't believe it was true.
That was Captain Bai. That was Dark Night-the very embodiment of a miracle! Were they really... gone just like that?
He felt as though he could still hear Captain Bai's clear, pleasant voice from before the battle began.
"Remember the news about the thefts at the Yasukuni Shrine and museums around the world?"
"That was me!"
He simply couldn't believe that someone so full of life had left this world.
After the call ended, everyone who had been waiting for news seemed to have lost their souls.
Wiping out every zombie seemed to bring them no joy at all. If everyone could choose again, they would rather have all the zombies alive and well,
