Chapter 62: Overestimating One's Own Strength

"Mr. Chen, are you home?"

On this day, Chen Yusheng received a phone call from Wang Kun, the person in charge of the Base.

This phone was a satellite phone specifically provided to him by the Base, though Chen Yusheng rarely used it in his daily life.

In the apocalypse, strength is the only hard truth; he spent most of his time focused entirely on cultivation and rarely concerned himself with the affairs of others.

"What is it?" Chen Yusheng asked coldly into the phone.

"It's like this, Mr. Chen. We have reported the situation regarding you and Lin Muyao to the higher-ups. They have specifically arranged for a few people to come down, saying they would like to meet you in person. Would that be convenient for you?"

"The higher-ups want to see me?" Chen Yusheng was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, and I won't beat around the bush with you," Wang Kun's tone became serious. "The leaders above mainly want to confirm whether that Zombie King is truly under control. After all, the threat of a Zombie King is simply too great. You might not know this, but over a month ago, a large-scale base in Yindi was completely leveled by a Zombie King leading a horde of over a million zombies..."

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "Fine, bring them over."

He didn't mind meeting the people sent from above.

As for the fact that Xiao Jiu no longer looked like a Zombie King at all, he had already thought of the most effortless explanation during this time.

To put it bluntly, this explanation was—no explanation.

Just attribute everything to the Zombie King's own transformation.

Just say that the Zombie King found family in the apocalypse, and by staying by their side, its hostility slowly dissipated, leading to a natural transformation. As for whether others believe it or not, that is their business and has nothing to do with him.

In this world, surely no one would dare to force him to reveal his secrets?

Unless, the other party truly didn't want to live anymore.

Less than two hours after Chen Yusheng hung up the phone, Wang Kun arrived at the doorstep of Li Ruixi's house in a hurry with three people.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Chen Hai."

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Vice President Zhang of the Ability User Management Association, this is Director Liu of the Organization Department, and this is Captain Chen of the Dragon Squad."

Wang Kun introduced them one by one. Among the three, Vice President Zhang was a middle-aged man, Director Liu was a woman around thirty, and Captain Chen was a young man with an arrogant look on his face.

"Hello."

"Hello."

After a simple greeting, that Captain Chen immediately spoke to Chen Yusheng in a commanding tone: "Hey you, call the Zombie King out so we can take a look first."

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng's brow furrowed on the spot.

This person's attitude was entirely that of a superior ordering a subordinate, incredibly arrogant.

This made him feel very displeased.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wang Kun immediately stepped forward to warn Captain Chen: "Captain Chen, please watch your attitude!"

Wang Kun didn't even think about it and stood directly on Chen Yusheng's side.

It wasn't that he dared to offend the Dragon Squad, but rather that he knew all too well how terrifying Chen Yusheng was. Let alone these few people in front of him, even if the entire combat power of the Base were combined, it wouldn't be enough for Chen Yusheng to fight with one hand.

"Director Wang, what's wrong with my attitude?" The young man shrugged indifferently. "Isn't it just that I want to take a look at the Zombie King?"

After saying that, he looked at Chen Yusheng again and urged impatiently: "Hurry up and call the Zombie King out."

At this point, Chen Yusheng truly could not tolerate it any longer.

His gaze turned cold, and he directly scolded: "What kind of thing do you think you are? Get lost!"

The young man's face turned livid instantly from being cursed at: "You dare to curse—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yusheng acted immediately.

He suddenly raised his leg and kicked toward the young man. The Golden Light Incantation on his leg erupted instantly, condensing into a massive golden leg shadow that was so fast the other party didn't even have a chance to react, slamming fiercely into his body.

"Boom!"

A loud noise rang out.

The young man was like a cannonball fired off, flying horizontally in an instant and slamming heavily into the distance.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that no one had reacted.

By the time everyone came to their senses, that Captain Chen of the Dragon Squad was already lying on the ground, motionless.

"Overestimating your own strength!" Chen Yusheng curled his lip in contempt.

"This..." Wang Kun slapped his forehead, looking pained and helpless.

Vice President Zhang and Director Liu beside him were filled with horror, their faces turning pale.

The speed at which Chen Yusheng had struck just now was so fast that even they, as Ability Users, couldn't keep up at all.

This also confirmed what Wang Kun had said earlier—Chen Yusheng's strength was terrifyingly high.

"Don't worry, he's not dead," Chen Yusheng said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. Chen Wei is just ignorant; please don't hold it against him." Hearing that no one had died, Wang Kun hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, then said to Director Liu: "Go check on Captain Chen's condition."

"Apologies, Mr. Chen!"

After Vice President Zhang came to his senses, he also hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, we all came from three different departments this time. I am not in the same system as the Dragon Squad; he only represents himself, not our Association."

"It's fine," Chen Yusheng said indifferently. "I didn't use lethal force; I just wanted to teach him how to speak."

"Mr. Chen, you did the right thing!" Vice President Zhang hurriedly agreed. "That Chen Wei relies on being the second-ranked Top-tier Ability User in the Dragon Squad and is usually used to being arrogant; we have long found him eyesore."

"Enough about him, let's go inside and talk," Chen Yusheng turned around.

"Right, right."

Chen Yusheng led the two of them into the first-floor living room and they sat down according to status.

"Mr. Chen, then... could you let us see the Zombie King?" Vice President Zhang's attitude was much more respectful than that of Chen Wei earlier.

Seeing that he was still sensible, Chen Yusheng nodded.

"Xiao Jiu, come here for a moment."

He used his Spiritual Power to transmit his voice directly.

Before long, Xiao Jiu walked out from inside the house.

"Brother!" she called out, sitting down on the sofa next to Chen Yusheng quite naturally.

"Mr. Chen, this... is the Zombie King?"

Seeing Xiao Jiu, Wang Kun and Vice President Zhang were both stunned.

Especially Wang Kun, for he had clearly seen Xiao Jiu's true appearance before.

At that time, Xiao Jiu had blood-red pupils, a single horn on her forehead, and her entire body exuded an oppressive corpse aura.

Yet now, the young girl before them was almost exactly the same as an ordinary person, delicate and clean, without a shred of the Zombie King's ferocity.

"Yes, she is the Zombie King," Chen Yusheng nodded.

"Mr. Chen, how did she become like this? She wasn't like this just a few days ago!" Wang Kun's face was full of disbelief.

"Because she has already changed from a Zombie King back into a human."

"A Zombie King can turn back into a human?" Wang Kun and Vice President Zhang were completely shocked.

Just then, Director Liu, who had gone out earlier, walked back in.

"Minister Wang, President Zhang, Captain Chen is seriously injured, so I have already had people send him for treatment."

"Good, well done, come and sit," Wang Kun said.

After Director Liu sat down, Wang Kun could not help but ask Chen Yusheng again: "Mr. Chen, how exactly did that Zombie King turn back into a human?"

"It is because..."

Chen Yusheng spoke the story he had fabricated.

After listening, the words "I don't believe it" were written all over the faces of Wang Kun, Vice President Zhang, and Director Liu.

But they had just witnessed Chen Yusheng's methods with their own eyes, so even if they did not believe him, no one dared to press him, let alone force him to tell the truth.

Afterwards, the group asked Chen Yusheng a few more questions, and once they were done, they prepared to get up and take their leave.

Just as they were about to depart, Vice President Zhang's cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call, listened for a few moments, and his expression changed abruptly as he exclaimed in shock:

"What? The Changbaishan Jidi has been besieged by a zombie horde numbering in the millions?"
