"You should stab the dagger into my temple, then cut out my crystal core and absorb it all, this way your power will skyrocket." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming glanced at the dagger in Zhang Yiming’s hand, his voice tinged with a hint of malice, "You released me, but I won’t let you go. As long as I’m in this world, I will one day replace you."

The mercy of Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming had long been exhausted in the apocalypse.

Now, as long as he could stay in this world, he was capable of doing anything.

"The gamble hasn’t ended yet." Zhang Yiming gently wiped the black bloodstains off the dagger, continuing, "Don’t you want to know if killing me will affect you?"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming wanted to stay in this world and become the one and only Zhang Yiming.

But they are both Zhang Yiming, if the past Zhang Yiming dies, will the future Zhang Yiming still exist?

This theory has not been verified yet.

What is certain is that Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming has come from a dozen years in the future, at that time, Xiao Niu was dead, and the future was hell.

If the guess is correct, Xiao Niu was reborn, which means the past was disturbed for the future.

But the future Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming still came over.

This indicates the timeline where Xiao Niu died is still continuing.

But Zhang Yiming ate Ganmu, and Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming also reacted, he could also feel the pain, and his brainwaves were baptized.

These two completely different related relationships cannot prove whether Zhang Yiming’s death will affect Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.

"Yes." Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming looked dangerously into Zhang Yiming’s eyes, his superpower at its most active state.

Ready to attack at any moment.

He had no demeanor.

He was just a Zombie Emperor who had waited for years, having done so many bad things, what was a few more insincere actions?

What did it matter?

Moreover, the one to be killed is his past self.

He only wanted to stay.

"You want to know, I also want to know." Zhang Yiming smiled slightly, "So let’s make a bet."

As soon as Zhang Yiming finished speaking, his slender fingers suddenly clenched the dagger, and the other hand formed a fist in mid-air.

Without hesitation.

The sharp dagger slashed fiercely towards the other hand.

The collision of bone and dagger made a scalp-numbing sound.

Thud.

A fair, slender hand fell to the ground.

Black blood spurted out, splattering on the faces of Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming’s left wrist was empty.

"You!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming stared at the fallen hand in shock.

He thought the dagger would slash towards him.

Zhang Yiming calmly glanced at the severed hand as if he didn’t feel any pain from his wrist and looked towards the left hand of Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.

After eating Ganmu, Zhang Yiming’s body senses were almost identical to human beings, except for the black blood.

He could feel the pain at his wrist, but it was nothing to him.

Even cutting off his hand seemed like a trivial matter to him, not even furrowing his brows.

Once people turn into zombies, what could be scarier than that?

"I won, it seems I’m luckier."

Zhang Yiming slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming raised his left hand, which began to slowly become transparent, then disappeared.

The left hand area became empty, leaving only a scar.

"Impossible!"

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming couldn’t accept this outcome, hurriedly took out a crystal core, which turned to dust instantly in his hand.

But no matter how much he absorbed the crystal core, the vanished hand would not grow back.

Zombies have strong regenerative abilities, as long as their brains are not destroyed, no matter how severe the injuries, even if only a head is left, they can regrow a complete body through absorbing crystal cores.

But no matter how much he absorbed the crystal core, his left hand area remained empty.

Zhang Yiming pinched the dagger with one hand, wiping it back and forth on the white shirt twice, cleaning it and putting it away.

Only then did he bend down to pick up the hand that had fallen to the ground.

Without any expression, he pressed the hand back to his wrist, and in a moment, the hand regrew onto Zhang Yiming’s arm.

Zhang Yiming wiped the black blood leftover on his wrist, moved his left hand, and it had already fully recovered.

Zhang Yiming no longer looked at Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, nor did he act further, calmly moved the bag of crystal cores Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming had placed in the dilapidated car to the motorcycle, then rode away.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was staring fiercely at Zhang Yiming’s back, his empty wrist suspended in front of him.

A minute later.

The empty wrist began to show a blurry shadow, which slowly gathered to form a solid hand.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s left hand returned.

But the expression on Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.

This meant that the past Zhang Yiming and he were truly connected.

He should have realized, when Zhang Yiming ate Ganmu, his own body underwent changes too.

He was in this world, and the two of them shared the same life.

Yet, he still wanted to kill Zhang Yiming, thinking that by doing so, he would be the only Zhang Yiming in this world, and would not be corrected by it.

The self-deceiving feeling, it was quite amusing. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming stood still, his fingers clenched tightly together.

He knew, even if he cleared all dangers here, returning to the world he came from, Xiao Niu would not come back to life.

Because the timeline in that world was too long, involving too many people.

The reason he reacted to the current Zhang Yiming was because he and the current Zhang Yiming were in the same world, being the same Zhang Yiming.

The world he traveled from was illusory to him in this world.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming was somewhat dazed.

If he died, where would he go?

Return to the original world?

No, he would not go back.

That hellish future, he really did not want to see.

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s eyes darkened, laying back into the dilapidated car, exuding a depressive aura.

On the other side, Zhang Yiming was riding the motorcycle down the road at high speed.

His eyes were ambiguous and unclear.

From the recent experiment, he learned that his Xiao Niu really died once.

When people from the future return to the past, two identical people create a magnetic field.

If the past person dies, the future person will also die.

But if the future person dies, what would the scene be like?

Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming had already guessed.

This guess made his heart ache terribly.

Future Xiao Niu self-destructed and died, her body no longer exists, accidentally returned to the past, had no choice but to merge with the Xiao Niu of this world into one.

The current Xiao Niu is both the past and future Xiao Niu.

His Xiao Niu had gone through so much without him knowing, only for him to learn now.

He hadn’t done anything, when he went to discuss the thesis with Xiao Niu, she had already gone through the apocalypse’s cruelty.

No wonder... back then, she told him to stay home, not to go out, and to focus on writing the thesis for her.

It turns out, unknowingly, Xiao Niu had protected him once.

But his future self didn’t protect her.

Zhang Yiming placed a hand on his heart, unable to suppress the pain there.

It was more painful than cutting off his own wrist.
