How Does a Little Dummy Become the Zombie King?

On June 6, 2666, a meteorite crashed into Earth, carrying extraterrestrial life with it. A zombie virus erupted worldwide, and species began mutating and evolving.

Jiang Keli was bewildered. "...Wasn't this year supposed to bring double sixes and good luck? 😱"

He was seventeen. He'd just passed the college entrance exam, and the whole world had turned into an apocalypse.

Unfortunately, he was bitten by a zombie while fleeing.

Luckily, his constitution was special, and he evolved into a Zombie King.

Jiang Keli was afraid of zombies. Every time he ran for his life, they chased after him because he was their king.

"Help! I'm not the Zombie King! Stop following me! 😖😭"

He could still talk, but the zombies couldn't understand him.

Then one day, a big shot from a human base, an army colonel and chief tactical commander, arrived in a spaceship and landed right in front of him.

The man pressed his radio button. "Found him. He's a little dumb. Doesn't seem like the Zombie King."

Jiang Keli kicked his legs wildly. "Awooo! I'll bite you to death! 😡"

The little zombie opened his mouth to bite, but the man put a bite guard on him.

Huo Qilin asked in confusion, "What's going on? This zombie can talk?"

Jiang Keli glanced at his ID: National Defense Operations Zone, Army Colonel, Huo Qilin. This person sounded familiar... but he couldn't remember why.

"Awooo!" Why couldn't he bite him? 😔😣

Huo Qilin pinched his mouth. He'd nearly failed to recognize him as a zombie, but those delicate features did look familiar. "Why is it you? Jiang Keli? How did you turn into a zombie? Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

The little zombie: "Huh?" (System error 😳)

Huo Qilin never imagined he would see that little boy again like this. The last time they parted, the kid had been only eight.

His unrequited love had turned into a zombie and couldn't remember anything.

Huo Qilin took off Jiang Keli's bite guard. He tried to bite him again, then immediately covered his mouth. He'd nearly broken his teeth.

This man was wearing armor! Who could bite through that?

Huo Qilin looked worried. "You've forgotten me? What about your parents?"

The little zombie stared blankly. "Awooo, awooo, awooo." (I just want to bite people 😋)

Then Huo Qilin carried him home.

"Let go of me! The apocalypse is here! I need to stock up on supplies!"

Colonel Huo glared at him. "What supplies does a little zombie need?"

Besides, humans were fighting over supplies outside. Did he really think he could go to the supermarket and join in? Wouldn't he get mobbed?

Jiang Keli howled, "Awooo! Who says zombies don't eat?"

Huo Qilin decided that made sense, so he tied him up and brought him home. To stop the little zombie from biting people, he kept him restrained and fed him on schedule every day.

But some basic code in the little zombie seemed to be malfunctioning, because he kept wanting to go find the zombie horde.

Huo Qilin gazed at him affectionately and whispered in his ear, "Kebaobao... you really don't recognize me? 🥺"

Only his parents called him "Kebaobao."

Jiang Keli looked up, but the face meant nothing to him.

So Huo Qilin reminded him, "When you were eight, you jokingly said you'd marry me when you grew up. I told you that you'd have to wait until you were eighteen to say that."

Jiang Keli shook his head. He wanted meat, and irritably grabbed Huo Qilin's clothes and bit them. The man took the opportunity to kiss him.

"Mmph...???"

What kind of era was this? Who would dare kiss a zombie? Was this guy crazy?!
