Chapter 39: Capturing the Follower

Seeing Xiao Hui's vigilant appearance, Chen Yusheng immediately looked in the direction it was watching.

What Xiao Hui was staring at was a ridge on one side of the canyon; he looked over with his naked eye, but discovered nothing.

At this moment, the gaze of the little loli Zombie King, Xiao Jiu, also turned toward that ridge.

"There is... a person." Xiao Jiu's childish voice rang out softly.

"A person?"

Chen Yusheng frowned.

If there was someone here, nine times out of ten it was someone sent by the He Family.

Without a word, he directly struck a strand of True Qi toward the Mutant Zombie wolf, Xiao Hui.

"Xiao Hui, chase after them, catch them alive, don't kill them." Chen Yusheng patted Xiao Hui's head and ordered in a deep voice.

Xiao Hui understood, and without the slightest hesitation, it immediately rushed out at a wild gallop.

On the ridge in the distance, a person was hiding behind a tree trunk; seeing this scene, his complexion changed instantly.

"Damn it, I've been discovered!"

He dared not linger, turned around, and ran for his life.

In the canyon, after Chen Yusheng let Xiao Hui chase after them, he did not remain idle himself, quickly gathering the Mutant Zombies to follow along.

In the woods, a young man was running wildly while shouting urgently into a satellite phone:

"Boss, I've been discovered, I might be a dead man!"

"Ge Ning, what's going on? If you've been discovered, hurry up and run!"

"I can't get away, that Zombie King is controlling a Mutant Zombie wolf, it's too fast..."

When it comes to speed in the woods, a Mutant Zombie wolf is even a cut faster than an agility-type Mutant Zombie.

Before long, Xiao Hui caught up to the young man.

As soon as it caught up, Xiao Hui immediately launched an attack on the young man.

The strength of a Mutant Zombie wolf is even greater than that of a giant zombie; an ordinary Ability User is simply no match for it.

By the time Chen Yusheng arrived, Xiao Hui had already subdued the young man until he had no ability to resist at all.

The young man lay on the ground, with one of Xiao Hui's front paws pressed firmly onto his back, leaving him unable to move an inch.

Fortunately, Xiao Hui had listened to the order and did not deliver a lethal blow.

Chen Yusheng walked up close, jumped down from the back of a Mutant Zombie, and stood before the young man.

"What is your name?" Chen Yusheng asked in a flat tone.

"You can actually speak human language?" Now it was the young man's turn to be stunned.

"Hmm?" Chen Yusheng's brow sank. "Aren't you sent by the He Family to kill me? How could you not know me?"

"The He Family? Sent to kill you? I'm not from the He Family." The young man hurriedly defended himself in surprise.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Xiao Jiu also arrived with a group of Mutant Zombies.

"Boss, what's the situation?" Xiao Jiu asked Chen Yusheng respectfully.

"Nothing much, caught someone who was following us." Chen Yusheng explained casually.

Watching the way Chen Yusheng and Xiao Jiu spoke, the young man's eyes were full of shock.

"The Zombie King calls you big brother? You aren't being controlled by the Zombie King?"

Chen Yusheng ignored his question; he was the one interrogating the other party now, not the other way around. "Since you aren't from the He Family, then why are you following us?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said honestly: "I was following to keep an eye on the Zombie King; the Zombie King is too big a threat to the Base."

He paused, then continued: "We previously thought you were being controlled by the Zombie King, but now it seems that's not the case at all. What exactly is your relationship with this Zombie King?"

The young man couldn't help but ask again.

Chen Yusheng spoke indifferently: "The Zombie King has already been controlled by me."

Then he stared at the young man and asked: "Are you really not sent by the He Family to kill me?"

"No, I am a high-level Ability User from Chongyang Base, I only came over to assist in exterminating the Zombie King."

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and asked: "Then do you know about the matter between me and the He Family?"

Chen Yusheng had always been very puzzled as to why the He Family had sent people to kill him time and time again.

He always felt that the He Family targeting him was not that simple.

The person before him might be able to give him an answer.

The young man thought for a while and said: "I don't know much, I just heard others talking about it in a chat group. They said your name is Chen Hai, and you were the heart donor for He Yongsheng's son, and later you were controlled by the Zombie King..."

"Heart donor? What does that mean?" Chen Yusheng's brows knitted tightly together.

"It means He Yongsheng's son has a congenital heart disease, and even top-tier Healing Ability Users couldn't save him, so he had to have a heart transplant. And your heart just happened to be a match for his son, so..."

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng understood everything in an instant.

At this moment, many things he couldn't figure out before suddenly all made sense.

Before, when the He Family sent people to catch him, there were several times when they clearly had the opportunity to shoot him dead, but they never delivered a lethal blow.

So, they wanted to catch him alive to take his heart for He Yongsheng's son.

Knowing the truth, Chen Yusheng's expression turned cold instantly.

Looking at it this way, what that little girl said before—about him selling himself and then running away—was completely false.

It is also possible that this was the story the He Family put out, and the little girl herself didn't know the inside story at all.

As for why this Ability User in front of him knew these things, it was also simple—Ability Users have their own circles, and naturally know much more than ordinary people.

"Brother, have you really controlled the Zombie King?" The young man couldn't help but ask Chen Yusheng again.

"Why do you ask that?" Chen Yusheng said coldly.

"Brother, this is all a misunderstanding! We all thought you were being controlled by the Zombie King, which is why they sent me to follow you."

"If you can truly control the Zombie King now, then the situation is completely different. If I report this matter, the state will definitely recruit you, and the state will also preside over the grievances between you and He Yongsheng," the young man said hurriedly.

After hearing this, Chen Yusheng did not fully believe it in his heart.

"Then if I want to seek revenge on the He Family and kill everyone in the He Family, will the state help me?"

The young man was silent for a moment and said, "If you have the strength to deal with He Yongsheng, then this is a private grievance between you and the He Family; the state will not help you, but it will not help him either."

"Then you said the state would preside over justice for me; what kind of justice?"

"It means that if your strength is insufficient, the state can protect you and not let He Yongsheng touch you," the young man explained.

In the young man's view, if Chen Yusheng could truly control the Zombie King, then his importance would be too great.

An Ability User who can control the Zombie King is someone the state cannot value too highly, no matter how much it does.

Therefore, as long as Chen Yusheng is willing to defect to the state, the higher-ups will absolutely not allow He Yongsheng to kill him.

Chen Yusheng shook his head and said in a calm tone, "I have no interest in joining any state organization. I will take revenge on the He Family myself. Since you are not a member of the He Family, I will spare you."

After speaking, he signaled for Xiao Hui to release the young man.

"Wait!" the young man hurriedly called out to Chen Yusheng.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Yusheng turned his head to look at him.

"That... Chen Hai, I also know a piece of news related to you; do you want to hear it?" the young man asked cautiously.

"Speak," Chen Yusheng spat out coldly.

"It's like this, I saw news in a chat group saying that your girlfriend... next week, is going to be forced to marry He Yongsheng's son."
