(3) I, the Zombie Overlord... Come and Cut Me If You Dare (3)

If he had to search by himself, the difficulty would be very high.

The world was too big, and Creators were very good at hiding their locations. Finding them was still quite difficult.

"A controlled zombie just found me. It wants me to attend a 'southern conference.' It seems like everyone attending the conference is a Creator. I'm calling to let you know. Can you come over here?"

"Alright, no problem. I'll head over right now."

"Wait. The controlled zombie is waiting outside the building. When you get here, just watch from a distance. I'll follow it."

Vuong Tu Hien was afraid that Lam Pham would appear openly, be seen by the controlled zombie, and arouse its master's suspicion, causing the plan to fail at the last second.

He hung up the phone.

Vuong Tu Hien walked to the window, looking at the controlled zombie downstairs. He didn't give it a second thought.

He knew that any zombie was merely an ant before Lam Pham.

The so-called "southern conference" was nothing but a joke.

Hoang City.

"A southern conference?"

Lam Pham frowned slightly. The information from this call was quite surprising to him. It wasn't impossible for zombies to have intelligence, but this so-called conference made him feel as if the zombies were planning to consolidate their power.

Zombies consolidating?

It always felt like they were trying to take control of this society.

Treating humans as food while they became the rulers.

"If the Creators in the area are all gathered in one place, perhaps I can catch them all in one net."

He was not afraid of these so-called Creators.

"Brother Lam, what southern conference?" Chuc Thanh asked with curiosity.

Lam Pham said, "Vuong Tu Hien from Hop City said a zombie came to notify him, inviting him to attend a so-called southern conference. It seems to be a gathering of Creators."

Chuc Thanh was shocked. "Zom... zombies know how to hold meetings?"

Lam Pham said, "It's a very normal thing. As zombies gain intelligence, any kind of situation can happen. There are zombies who, apart from their physical structure being slightly different from ours, are no different from humans in other aspects. They probably have desires as well."

Thinking of Vuong Tu Hien's feelings for Trieu Van, wasn't that a kind of desire?

Theoretically, a zombie should be fond of another zombie.

But Vuong Tu Hien, as a zombie, still liked a human woman.

Taking it a step further, if, by some chance, they really got together, could she get pregnant?

If she got pregnant, would the child be human or zombie?

Or half-human, half-zombie?

If there were a mad scientist, they would definitely want to verify this kind of situation.

Lao Chung said, "That sounds terrifying."

Dong Giai said, "It is indeed very terrifying. A zombie's physical constitution is far, far superior to a human's. If they form a collective, it would be a world-ending disaster for the remaining survivors." They all felt that the situation with the zombies was becoming increasingly strange and bizarre.

Lam Pham said goodbye to them, telling them to return to the shelter first, and then he headed towards Hop City.

Hop City.

On the rooftop of the building opposite the government building.

A young man sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the motionless zombie not far away.

"Is that the zombie Vuong Tu Hien mentioned?"

He took out his satellite phone to notify Vuong Tu Hien.

Inside the building.

Vuong Tu Hien had already received Lam Pham's notification. He walked into the room and saw Trieu Van engrossed in a book. He was a little reluctant to leave. If he went out, it might be a while before he could return. This kind of separation was not what he wanted.

Not seeing Trieu Van for even a short time made him feel uncomfortable all over, let alone being separated for a long time.

But he had to go.

That's how it is when you work for someone else.

It's not about whether you want to or not, but about things that must be done.

"Trieu Van."

"Mm?" Trieu Van put down her book and looked up at Vuong Tu Hien standing at the door.

"I have to go out for a while. Will you be okay here by yourself?"

"Yes, it's fine. You be careful."

Hearing Trieu Van's concern for his safety, Vuong Tu Hien was moved to tears, his mood incredibly joyful. The feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful, an indescribable happiness, an inexpressible excitement.

"I know."

Vuong Tu Hien nodded, turned, and left. There was naturally no need to worry about the safety of this place. Trieu Van's safety was guaranteed. If she were truly in danger, all the zombies would risk their lives to protect her.

He had also deliberately built a metal room some time ago, just as a precaution. If danger did strike, Trieu Van could hide inside and avoid harm from the zombies.

Of course, this was just a precaution. How could something like that possibly happen?

He went outside and told the controlled zombie that they could leave now. As he did, he nonchalantly glanced towards the roof of the opposite building. He knew Lam Pham was watching from up there.

Safety was definitely not an issue.

"Hey, let's hurry up. Tell me the location."

Vuong Tu Hien found a car. He wanted speed. He had no time to waste dawdling with the other party; it was simply a waste of time.

The Creator behind the controlled zombie saw how eager and enthusiastic Vuong Tu Hien was and was in a good mood. It seemed the other party took this matter seriously, which showed that his rallying power was quite effective.

Lam Pham observed the whole time. Seeing the car start to move, he didn't immediately follow but maintained a certain distance from the vehicle.

This was to prevent being discovered by the other party. With his speed, no matter how fast the other party drove, he could easily catch up.

Carrying his satellite phone, he could get updates on the situation at the Sunshine Shelter at any time. If something happened there while he was away, he could return to the Sunshine Shelter in the shortest amount of time.

A car drove on, and in the far distance behind it, a figure was also following.

As the car drove along the road, there were many zombies. Normally, when zombies saw a moving vehicle, they would roar and run after it.

But on the road this car was traveling, there wasn't a single zombie that dared to follow. When the car approached, all the zombies seemed to sense some kind of terrifying presence and were too scared to even move.

After a while.

The car drove into a city.

Oanh City.

Once a prosperous city, it had now become a city of death filled with zombies.

A figure continuously appeared on the rooftops, following the car that was driving through the city streets.

He still couldn't let the zombies discover him.

He knew that Creators could form a connection with zombies. If other zombies saw him, then the zombie who organized this conference would also sense it.

Soon, the car's speed gradually slowed down and stopped in front of a building.

Lam Pham also landed on the rooftop of a building near this one, sitting on the edge and dangling his legs.

"This is the location of the Creator conference. I wonder how many Creators will come."

He was very much looking forward to it.

Currently, the most threatening zombies were these ones.

They had intelligence, ideas, could control other zombies, and could create new, terrifying zombies. Among all types of zombies, they represented a kind of limit in zombie evolution.

Even the 5th-stage Lao Chung would not be a match for these zombies.

Human Awakened indeed had limitless potential.

But for now, they had not developed to the point where they could contend with the top-tier zombies.

Vuong Tu Hien looked at the surroundings, "Is this the place?"

"Yes."

Vuong Tu Hien got out of the car. The road before him was covered with a red carpet. Rows of zombies stood like guards, motionless in two lines. This display made Vuong Tu Hien feel that the Creator who had convened the conference was quite imaginative.

"So flashy, making it seem so formal."

Vuong Tu Hien muttered to himself.

But he still followed the controlled zombie inside.

He knew Lam Pham was watching quietly nearby, so there was naturally no need to worry about his safety.

As he walked inside, the zombies standing in two lines immediately let out low growls, a very deep sound, as if they were welcoming his arrival.

The environment inside was not as dark as he had imagined.

Passing through a corridor, he went straight to the very end. Pushing open the door, it was clearly an auditorium, looking as if it was used for holding meetings.

At this moment.

There were already other zombies in the auditorium.

He frowned slightly.

Unlike the Creators he had imagined, most of the zombies present were controlled zombies. These zombies were sitting there, and as Vuong Tu Hien walked in, they turned their heads, their gazes falling upon him.

And on the conference stage of the auditorium, there was a surprisingly tall figure.

The first time he saw the other party, he could feel that it was not an ordinary species.

His crimson skin was covered in a twisted network of blue veins, like the gnarled roots of an ancient tree, giving him an incredibly domineering presence. His physique was tall and strong.

His abdomen, chest, arms, and calves were all covered in a scale-like material.

He had sharp fingers and toes.

He didn't look like a zombie, more like a kind of demon.

It was completely unknown how it had evolved.

The seat beneath him was even more terrifying. It was impossible to tell what creature it was, but it looked like a throne made from a pile of flesh and blood. Looking closely, one could see that the flesh of the throne was alive, and it was moving.

"The Zombie Emperor from Hop City, welcome. Please, have a seat," the red-skinned zombie said.

Vuong Tu Hien casually found a seat and sat down. "Is this the Creator conference you were talking about? Besides you, why are they all like this?"

The red-skinned zombie said, "For our first meeting, you are the one who trusts me the most, daring to come in person, while the others could only manipulate zombies to gather here."

Damn!
