Chapter 1896: Chapter 1896

Using a poker card to kill—it’s easy for a high-ranking New Human, even if it’s just a Level 2 New Human. With just a little skill, they can injure someone with a poker card. For high-ranking New Humans, like those above Level 6, killing with a poker card requires no skill at all. With enough power, a poker card can easily kill someone just by throwing it!

While using poker cards as a method of killing is indeed flashy, it is meaningless to those with real combat experience. It’s only useful for showing off. Even if one is determined to use poker cards as their weapon and crafts a set from H-steel material, in real combat, as the card flies towards the enemy, the force applied diminishes with distance, significantly reducing its effectiveness. In such cases, it’s better to use an advanced laser weapon instead.

For a high-ranking New Human to fully unleash their power, the method is simple—deliver a punch right to the enemy’s face!

This is why few high-ranking New Human stronghouses use long-range weapons; most opt for ancient melee weapons instead.

Now, Xu Haishui is a Level 8 zombie. If he wishes, any part of his body can turn into any weapon at will. Even picking up a random stone from the roadside could easily capture Yi Huangcheng’s attention. Or was it that Xu Haishui just happened to have a poker card in hand at the time?

This was just a way for him to comfort himself, but for some reason, Tang Ye had a feeling that the matter wasn’t that simple.

"What’s up?" Seeing Tang Ye furrow his brows deep in thought, Su Sigui couldn’t help but ask.

Her words quickly brought Tang Ye back to his senses. He looked up at her and quickly shook his head: "Nothing, just dealing with some things lately."

"No, it’s not a big deal. By the way, do you have any plans for the upcoming days?"

"As for the coming days... yes, time is getting tight. In a few days, I’ll be conducting the final phase of the Divine Rain Plan at the old site of Baiyi Mountain County. At that time, I’ll invite you to come observe."

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going then?"

Tang Ye got up. He thought Su Sigui would try to keep him a bit, but she nodded so quickly that it stunned him for half a second. He walked to the window, ready to open it and jump out, but just as his hand touched the window sill, Su Sigui asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"

"Use the door, what’s with the sneaky behavior?" Su Sigui looked at Tang Ye with amusement, while Tang Ye looked at her smiling face expressionlessly. The young man outside was still there. He had been alone with Su Sigui, a man and a woman, for so long, if only he left later, it might make that guy overthink. In short, Tang Ye subconsciously felt it wasn’t quite right to leave the same way he came in.

"Is there no other exit?" Tang Ye asked, and Su Sigui shook her head, "But you can simply leave that way, right?"

"Alright then." Seeing nothing unusual on Su Sigui’s face, Tang Ye said nothing further, walked to the iron door he came in through, and opened it to leave. But just then, Su Sigui called out to him.

Tang Ye looked back, "Is there something else?"

"Aren’t you curious about anything?"

"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, Tang Ye shook his head: "Probably not."

"Okay then, it seems it’s all just ’what I thought.’ If there’s nothing else, go ahead with your work." After speaking, Su Sigui closed the surveillance screen and casually turned on a movie, but soon noticed that Tang Ye hadn’t left immediately.

"Do you still have something to say to me?"

Already stepping out of the threshold, Tang Ye pondered for a moment and directly said, "You probably lack manpower, don’t you?"

"If you don’t mind, I can allocate my people to you."

Tang Ye’s words carried no discernible emotion, leaving one unable to gauge his intentions behind the offer. Su Sigui fell silent after hearing this. About two or three seconds later, she said, "First of all, I trust you a lot, but as you’ve seen, I might not be able to gain your people’s loyalty in the short term."

"You don’t need to worry about that." Tang Ye’s smile inexplicably brimmed with confidence: "I know how my people are. Most of them are like you, sharing the same sense of responsibility. Being human, they naturally won’t stand idly by while their race falls into crisis!" The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

"...If you agree, and in the future my people do happen to go through the motions with you, you needn’t consider me; just dispose of them as you see fit."

Su Sigui once again fell silent. With Zombie Kings closing in from all sides, as time goes on, chaos will inevitably erupt across the survivor bases and Sanctuary City in China. It is merely a matter of time.

Moreover, just within this short week, some survivor bases without a Level 8 New Human have already begun to send SOS messages to the Cloud Gorge Base. If the stronghouses from the Royal Court get involved now, they could certainly alleviate the pressure in large part.

Yet, she did not seem particularly pleased about it. Of course, it wasn’t out of worry, but because of Tang Ye’s gesture, which left her feeling more regret than anything.

The air remained silent for a few seconds...

"There’s no reason why..." After pausing for a moment, Tang Ye rubbed his nose and continued: "Don’t think I’m being chauvinistic, but as long as there’s someone like me around, I naturally wouldn’t leave such a big task for you, a woman. You also shouldn’t..." Saying this, Tang Ye stopped speaking, just smiled at Su Sigui and said, "If you need anything else, just let me know, that’s it, I’m leaving now."

Tang Ye turned and left, and he did not see, Su Sigui staring blankly at his back. As he walked down the stairs, his figure completely disappeared from view, her face revealed a heartfelt smile.

Elsewhere, Tang Ye, upon emerging from the hidden door, immediately scanned his surroundings—the young man remained there, busily operating a computer, seemingly oblivious to Tang Ye’s appearance.

Walking down the stairs, Tang Ye entered the lobby on the first floor of the City Government, only to be greeted by the piercing sound of sirens from outside, the commotion outside starkly contrasting with the tranquility inside the City Government.

The blaring sirens of the entire Cloud Gorge Base signaled the coming of the end, gripping the nerves of everyone. Tang Ye, among the bustling streets filled with people coming and going in haste, glanced at the slightly yellowish sky, reminiscing about the beginning of the apocalypse to the present, experiencing a momentary illusion as if crossing through time and space.

Time flies fast, and what I must face is also about to arrive.
