Chapter 108: Chapter 106: Tier 4 Zombies Have Appeared, and I’m Only Tier 5 — It’s Too Dangerous

Hm?

’A Tier Four Zombie?’

Mengde froze when he heard the system’s notification.

To be honest, Low-Tier zombies (from Tier One to Tier Three) posed no threat to him anymore.

A Tier Four zombie, however, was still a different story.

It was at least a tiny, *tiny* bit more threatening than a Low-Tier Zombie...

So, as he faced the horde of zombies pouring out, he wasn’t the least bit afraid.

He remained standing where he was, calm and composed, and directly activated his Telekinesis Perception.

He quickly located the Tier Four Zombie the system had mentioned at the back of the horde!

It was actually very easy to find, because this Tier Four Zombie was clearly a size larger than the average ones.

Its face was twisted in a ferocious snarl, and its arms could even make some simple movements.

It seemed its agility and coordination were far beyond what those Low-Tier Zombies were capable of.

More importantly, this Tier Four Zombie seemed to possess some ability to sense threats.

The moment Mengde’s Telekinesis Perception swept over it, it actually had a slight physical reaction.

The next second, it let out a sharp, piercing roar.

"HRAAAGH!"

At the sound of this roar, the horde of zombies that had just poured out of the wholesale market immediately stopped in its tracks.

Then, bit by bit, they began to retreat back into the warehouse like a receding tide.

The few people who had been screaming for help moments ago managed to escape thanks to this turn of events.

But in Mengde’s Telekinesis Perception, the Tier Four Zombie was still staring at him, its eyes fixed on him like a predator.

Its gray-white eyeballs were filled with wariness.

Seeing this, Mengde’s interest was piqued.

’Heh! Now this is interesting!’

This Tier Four Zombie seemed to be something like a "Zombie King."

It could command its Low-Tier Zombie underlings!

This wasn’t an uncommon phenomenon for Mengde to see recently.

High-Tier Zombies all had a certain degree of control over zombies of a lower Level than themselves.

Furthermore, as a zombie’s Level increased, the number of zombies it could command also grew.

It was actually quite easy to understand!

Compared to High-Tier Zombies, the intelligence of Low-Tier Zombies was like the difference between a child and an adult.

You see adults leading children, but you never see children leading adults!

Therefore, if Mengde wasn’t mistaken, a clear hierarchical pyramid structure existed within the zombie hordes!

This Tier Four Zombie was by no means the first of its kind, nor would it be the last!

The longer the apocalypse went on, the stronger the zombies would become!

Zombies surpassing Tier Four would appear sooner or later!

Mengde had always been one to stay vigilant even in times of peace, and his sense of impending crisis was sharp!

’Looks like when I get back... I have to speed up the pace of earning system rewards!’

’Tier Four Zombies are already showing up, and I’m only Tier Five. This is way too dangerous.’

’This won’t do. I need to widen the gap in our Superpower Levels!’

Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, Aoxue, who was beside him, suddenly moved.

"HALT!!!"

"Come any closer... and you die!!!"

As her icy words rang out, an ice-blue light burst forth.

The ground beneath her feet was visibly covered in a layer of frost.

Brother Jingfu, who had entered long ago, also rushed forward with a dozen of his men.

They drew their weapons and stood protectively in front of Mengde and Aoxue.

If any danger appeared, they would absolutely use their own bodies to shield Mengde and his companion!

Hearing the commotion, Mengde immediately snapped back to his senses.

He saw the few men who had just narrowly escaped from the warehouse, panting heavily as they walked toward him.

Seeing that they had been warned, the round-faced young man in the lead immediately stopped.

He flashed a simple, honest smile.

"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous! We won’t come any closer."

"We just wanted to come over and thank you. Thank you for saving us."

The few young men following behind him also nodded quickly in agreement.

When they looked at the guns in the hands of Brother Jingfu and his men, their eyes held a hint of fear, but also a trace of envy.

"My name’s Run Tu, from the nearby Zhou Family Village."

"Are you guys survivors from around here too?"

Hearing this familiar name, Mengde’s mind immediately flashed to the image of the young boy from that famous story...

An odd expression couldn’t help but appear on his face.

He replied subconsciously.

"Your name is Run Tu?"

"Why isn’t your name Zhou Shuren, then?"

Mengde swore it was just a subconscious reaction.

But to his surprise, the Run Tu in front of him suddenly jumped up in excitement.

"Huh? You know us!"

"My grandpa’s name is Zhou Shuren!"

Uh...

The corner of Mengde’s mouth twitched...

’Awkward...’

The lingering trauma of a certain textbook lesson... instantly washed over him...

—*In the deep blue sky hung a golden full moon. Below was the sandy beach by the sea... and in its midst was a boy of eleven or twelve...*

"Yes, I know him..."

’It’s not just me. Just ask any elementary school student in all of China—who doesn’t know the famous name of Run Tu!’

"You guys are just too famous!"

"It would be impossible for us not to know you!"

???

The moment he said this, Brother Jingfu and his men shot Mengde a confused look.

It was as if they were saying: ’Boss, we don’t know him, and we have no idea what you’re talking about!’

’Don’t go speaking for us!’

’We’re not co-signing that!’

Even Aoxue was giving him a strange look.

’When did you meet them? How come I don’t know anything about this?’

You see, over the past few days, in order to understand the inside story of how Mengde helped women awaken their Superpowers,

they had been asking Jiayi no small amount about this man.

They not only knew that he was an employee at her company,

but had also gotten a detailed rundown of his family background and life experiences.

As their good friend, Jiayi hadn’t held anything back from them.

She had even blatantly told them about his fondness for ripping stockings.

Otherwise, Fei’er wouldn’t have deliberately gone to his room late at night wearing a uniform and black stockings!

That was a blatant attempt to seduce the man into "committing a crime"...

But as for this Run Tu, she truly had no clue!

’Hmm, it seems I still don’t know enough about him.’

’I’ll have to get a... *deeper* understanding when I get back...’

Ahem...

Being stared at like this by Brother Jingfu and his men, Mengde was starting to lose his composure.

He had no idea how to explain himself!

But he could understand their confusion.

After all, this world he had transmigrated to had some differences from his original one!

Many famous people from his world before transmigration didn’t exist here.

Including his favorite, Teacher Mikami... she had disappeared too....

He had confirmed this with Little Minami time and time again.

He still remembered Little Minami’s exact words: "Is this Teacher Mikami very knowledgeable and famous?"

"Minami doesn’t know her."

"But I have a good friend named Yamashita. I’ll introduce her to Onii-chan when I get the chance."

"I’m sure Onii-chan will like her just as much as you like Minami."

"Like Minami, she’s a girl group trainee too..."

Snapping back to the present, Run Tu grew even more excited upon hearing what Mengde said.

"Really? I didn’t even know we were that famous!"

"I knew it! My grandpa was right, I really am going to be a big star in the future! Hahaha..."

He looked so thrilled and smug that he was just one step away from pointing a finger to the heavens...

Mengde: "....."

His mouth was now twitching uncontrollably...

P.S. It’s already 2 AM by the time I’ve finished writing this Chapter.

Please don’t be mad, my dear patrons. I’ve been writing and deleting and rewriting.

My popularity has been dropping like a rock lately, I can barely afford to eat anymore (your author has already cried himself unconscious in the bathroom...).
