He followed Sima Xiao into Nanxiang City’s First Park.

The cleanliness of the park surprised Lian Jie.

There were no zombies everywhere, and there were even very little bloodstains. The entire park seemed to have returned to its original state, with lush vegetation and the sound of insects and birds.

Walking on the shaded path, passing through the swaying tree shadows, more scents soon entered Lian Jie’s olfactory organs.

The same kind!

Same level, same kind!

And there were many of them!

This made Lian Jie stop in his tracks, feeling a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Sima Xiao smiled and said, “I told you before that I invited you here to discuss important matters.”

“Do you think I would only invite you to discuss these so-called important matters?”

Since it was an important matter, the more ‘people’ involved, the better.

Lian Jie thought about it and felt that it made sense. He stopped worrying and continued forward.

Soon, the spacious park square came into view.

Along with it, there were a total of five ferocious and terrifying giants!

In Lian Jie’s eyes, Sima Xiao’s ‘important matters’ seemed more like a gathering of zombie kings!

Including Sima Xiao and himself, there were already seven Level 4 zombies present.

Such a number was terrifying—considering that even Lu Ming could not find enough Tyrant’s Crystals, yet here, seven Level 4 zombies higher than the level of a Tyrant had gathered!

Under Sima Xiao’s lead, Lian Jie stood in a corner of the square where no one was present.

Silently observing his own kind, Lian Jie quickly noticed that there were differences among the Level 4 zombies.

Lian Jie, Sima Xiao, and another Level 4 zombie belonged to one category they had tentacles growing on their backs while still retaining a human appearance.

As for the other four, they were more like the enlarged versions of the Tyrant!

They stood at a height of five meters, covered in lump-like muscle tissues all over their bodies. Even when these four monsters squatted on the ground, they were still as burly as small mountains.

Compared to Level 4 zombies like Lian Jie, these four Tyrant-like Level 4 zombies were more in line with the human imagination of high-level zombies.

Before Lian Jie could contemplate further, Sima Xiao’s voice faintly reached his ears.

“After evolvers like us reach Level 4, there will be two completely different branches among us Evolvers.

“One type is similar to you and me, capable of assimilating human genes, obtaining human superpowers, and continuously perfecting ourselves as Evolvers!

“I’d call them the Devourers!

“The other type is an upgraded version of the Tyrant. They don’t possess the special abilities of Devourers like us; they’re just bigger, faster, and stronger. Although their strength is not weak and they’re also Level 4, fundamentally speaking, they are still lower than us Devourers.

“I call them Tanks.”

After waiting for Lian Jie to digest the information, Sima Xiao continued, “We are Icings, and they are soldiers. We lead the zombie race, and they are just our enforcers and guards—understand it this way.

“Oh, by the way, let me mention it again. These Tanks don’t see it this way. They think that they’re of the same level as us, so their status is the same. In order to avoid trouble, it’s best not to mention this theory in front of them.”

Then, Sima Xiao pointed to his own head with a smile.

“The Tanks’ brains aren’t too good…”

Lian Jie nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

After some thought, he asked softly, “So, what do you mean by ‘Evolvers’?”

Unlike Sima Xiao’s telepathy—Lian Jie could not do that move. Because of this, Lian Jie’s words entered the ears of all the Level 4 zombies present.

Upon hearing this, another Devourer laughed and said, “Evolvers? What does this term mean?”

“Speaking of which, we zombies also just arrived here today. We only heard Sima Xiao mention discussing important matters, but Sima Xiao hasn’t explained anything yet. He only said that there aren’t enough of us here.”

After saying that, the Devourer narrowed his eyes and looked at Sima Xiao and asked, “Are there enough now?”

Sima Xiao looked at the sky.

It was already approaching dusk.

Sima Xiao pondered for a moment and spoke, “With seven Tier 4s here, I assume everyone has a considerable legion of zombies, right?”

The Tanks responded sullenly, “Yeah.”

“Hmph.”

“Ha.”

“Huh.”

Sima Xiao:”…”

Lian Jie:”…”

Another Devourer,”…”

Sima Xiao gave Lian Jie a look that said, “See, I told you, right?” Then, he opened his mouth and said, “Then we should have enough manpower.

“I’ll cut to the chase and get straight to the point.

“I gathered you all here today for one thing!

“To reclaim the Holy Tower!”

The Holy Tower…

Another new term.

However, the words “Holy Tower” were easier to understand than the so-called Evolvers.

Just as the words “Holy Tower” were spoken, the three Devourers turned around in unison and looked at the towering spire in the city center.

“You’re referring to that Holy Tower?”

After Lian Jie muttered, he saw Sima Xiao nod, “Yes, that’s the Holy Tower.”

After speaking, Sima Xiao said in a clear loud voice, “I believe that by now, everyone should vaguely remember the scenes when the apocalypse arrived, right?”

Many Level 4 zombies nodded in unison.

After reaching Level 4, they could vaguely recall some fragments from their previous lives.

And the scene at the beginning of the apocalypse, when the tall tower emerged, was particularly vivid in their memories.

“I can say this.

“That tower is both the root of the apocalypse and the origin of us Evolvers!”

This reasoning was not convincing enough.

Another Devourer couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any evidence?”

Sima Xiao smiled faintly, “Of course, and by the way, I still don’t know your name.”

“Oh ho ho ho, you can call me Simba.”

“Alright, Mr. Simba, of course I do have evidence, but I can’t show it to you.”

Before Simba could question further, Sima Xiao said in a clear voice, “The Devourer can devour the flesh and blood of Awakened ones and obtain their superpower. I believe Mr. Simba is well aware of this, right?”

Simba nodded.

Sima Xiao continued, “And some time ago, I devoured an Awakened person. His superpower was called Future Vision!

“I can vaguely perceive certain fragments of the future. As a result, I have learned something.”

As he spoke, Sima Xiao turned around, facing the tower with open arms as if embracing it, and fervently proclaimed, “We originated from the Holy Tower, and we will ultimately return to it! When the black mist recedes, everything will come to an end! Only those who embrace the tower can attain ultimate redemption and eternal life!

“And now, those humans, those failed Evolvers, have taken over the tower, the sacred land of us true Evolvers, the chosen ones! I gathered you all here today for one thing!

“Annihilate mankind and reclaim the Holy Tower! And let the entire Nanxiang bask in the holy, glorious, and righteous evolution!”
