I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 1002 Half-Zombie

"No, we happened to be visiting Ubud Palace when the virus broke out. In the chaos, the couple and I took refuge in the palace. However, the palace was not closed at the time, so a large number of zombies rushed in with us."

Mara shook his head and said urgently, "Don't let that man's tall and thin appearance fool you; he's incredibly strong. Seeing the zombies eating people, he tore down the parasols along the palace path, using the steel handles as weapons. He led me and his wife, fighting his way to the center of the palace, where they locked the gates, ensuring our temporary safety. However, the man was bitten by a zombie while protecting his wife..."

"That man... has he turned into a zombie?" Upon hearing Mara's words, Qin Zhong felt as if his mind was exploding.

My own father, that hot-tempered but deeply loving father and mother, could he just... die like that?

"do not know……"

Mara hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "After being bitten, the man was unconscious for two days. When he woke up, his body was as cold as a corpse and emitted a faint stench of death. What's even more surprising is that he still retained his sanity. In this situation, I can't be sure whether he is a zombie or not."

"A zombie that maintains its sanity? Could it be that Dad was infected by a virus while evolving, becoming a rare mutated zombie?" Qin Zhong's excruciating pain eased slightly.

It's worth noting that Xiao Yingyong was also infected with the corpse poison. Then, I took a gamble and used an evolution crystal core on her. In the end, she not only survived but also became a powerful evolver.

Therefore, being infected with corpse poison does not necessarily mean death, but it does not guarantee survival either; it all depends on luck. In any case, as long as Dad remains rational, there is still a possibility of turning things around.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong coldly looked at Ma La: "And then what happened? Where did that couple go? Why aren't they here? Did you also eat them?"

"No, later Lord Baza arrived and intended to eat all the foreigners. Because of his half-corpse, half-human state, Mr. Qin's strength and speed far surpassed Baza's. If he hadn't had to take care of his wife, all of us combined wouldn't have been a match for him. In the end, we injured Mr. Qin and his wife, but Mr. Qin still managed to escape from the palace with his wife, and their whereabouts are unknown."

At this point, Mara hesitated for a moment, then said, "Later, I heard that they seemed to have gone to the Tanah Lot Temple and even took in some Chinese people, but this is just hearsay, and I can't be entirely sure."

"They saved you, so why didn't you plead for them when the bazaar wanted to kill them?"

Upon hearing the news that his parents had been injured, Qin Zhong took a deep breath and sneered, "Saving you black monkeys is not as good as saving a dog. At least a dog knows how to be grateful!"

"That was the bazaar's order, I... I had no choice."

Looking at Qin Zhong's cold expression, Mara seemed to have guessed what was going on, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, please, don't kill me, I haven't done anything wrong to them..."

"Looks like you guessed it. That's right, the Chinese couple were my parents!"

Qin Zhong glanced coldly at Ma La and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but whether you live or die depends on your own fate."

After saying that, Qin Chong waved his hands and fired seven shots in quick succession, shattering the thick gate of Ubud Palace. Then, he spread his wings and soared into the air towards the direction of the Sea God Temple.

Qin Chong had no interest in even lifting a finger against these black scum; let them suffer endless fear and taste the pain of those they killed.

"My lord, my lord!" Seeing Qin Chong soar into the sky, Ma La's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, the palace gates were shattered, and hundreds of thousands of hungry zombies, like wild beasts breaking free of their shackles, roared and slowly surged toward the palace. The entire palace instantly turned into hell, filled with slaughter and the wails of demons!

……

Tanah Lot Temple was built in the 16th century and sits on a giant rock on the coast of Bali. At high tide, the rock is surrounded by seawater, isolating the temple from the land and standing alone in the sea. It is only connected to the land at low tide.

Looking at the address of the Temple of Poseidon on the navigation device, Qin Chong conjured four wings on his back and rushed towards the Temple of Poseidon at top speed.

At this moment, Qin Chong was extremely anxious. His father had become a half-corpse, and his frail mother had also been injured by the black scum, her life hanging in the balance. The long-suppressed longing and the overwhelming fear caused Qin Chong's flight speed to increase rapidly.

Accompanied by bursts of sonic booms like thunder, Qin Chong transformed from a silver light into a red light in the air, rushing towards the Sea God Temple at several times the speed of sound.

At this time, the tide was receding. Although the seawater submerged the rocks connecting Tanah Lot Temple to the mainland, making it an isolated island, the sea level continued to drop, and soon Tanah Lot Temple would be reconnected to the mainland.

Less than a kilometer from the Temple of Poseidon, countless hideous zombies surrounded the area submerged by seawater, roaring madly incessantly.

Clearly, once the tide recedes, they will surge into the sea temple and devour the humans inside.

"Brother Mo, it's all my fault. I accidentally attracted so many zombies!"

Inside the Tanah Lot Temple, a robust Chinese man, around thirty years old, knelt on the ground, his face full of regret: "Now the Tanah Lot Temple is surrounded, the sea level is constantly dropping, and once the rocks are exposed, the zombies will surely rush in, and then..."

“Ah Qun, get up! This is not your fault. You went out to find antibiotics and medicine. If it weren’t for you, your sister-in-law would probably not have made it.”

A gaunt man, completely covered in black cloth and emanating a faint stench of death, said to the person in front of him, “There are boats behind the Temple of Poseidon. You can take the others and leave by boat later. After the zombies disperse, return when the tide comes in and clear out the remaining zombies… The Temple of Poseidon is an excellent base for survivors. It is safe, close to the sea, and has plenty of seafood to eat. We cannot give it up.”

"Okay, Brother Mo, when do we set off?"

The burly man nodded, stood up, and asked, "I estimate that the tide will recede completely in fifteen minutes, and we must evacuate as soon as possible."

"It's not us, it's you!"

The gaunt man, wrapped in black cloth, shook his head and said calmly, "I'm tired, I don't want to walk anymore. You know your sister-in-law's condition; she's completely immobile, and even if we could move her, she probably wouldn't last long. Your sister-in-law and I have been through thick and thin together all our lives, so of course I want to be with her in these final moments and see her through to the end."

"Ah, no, Brother Mo, if you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

Upon hearing the gaunt man's words, the man called Ah Qun burst into tears, choking back sobs as he said, "If you hadn't rescued me from the horde of zombies, I would have been dead long ago. Since you've chosen to stay, I won't leave either!"

"Nonsense! You're a man, do you really think you can commit suicide with me? Besides, if your sister-in-law finds out, she'll give you a real dressing down."

The gaunt man smiled slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Among these people, only you and I are evolved beings. Now that I'm gone, it's natural for you to protect them. Go, living is harder than dying at this time. I've held on for so long, it's time for me to take a break and let you take over."
