291: C291 The Zombies That Grew out of the Earth?

C291 The Zombies That Grew out of the Earth?

"There's actually a little zombie here, and it's intelligent!"

Only C-grade zombies could have intelligence. What was the origin of this little zombie?

Curiosity drove Lee Liang to his side, which surprised him even more.

The little zombie seemed to have grown out of the soil. Its body was naked, and its legs were tightly wrapped by vines. It could move its upper body freely, but its lower limbs remained motionless from beginning to end.

"Is this a zombie or some kind of plant?"

Lee Liang was a little confused.

"You are the plant! I am a real zombie!"

The zombie seemed to have been provoked. It bared its teeth at Lee Liang and pretended to be very fierce.

"This guy is definitely a zombie. Don't doubt him. It's just that this is the first time I've seen him in such a state!"

An didn't know what was going on, so he could only walk to the zombie and smile at it.

"Little brother, be good. You can't be so fierce!"

"Oh, a girl! A girl! A girl finally came!"

Seeing An, the little zombie screamed. Its eyes were glowing red, and it even reached out its tender arms to hug An.

"What are you doing?!"

An was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped back. She had seen too many zombies, but this was the first time she had encountered such a lecherous zombie.

"Little brat, you didn't learn well since you were young. You deserve to be nailed here. Let's go, ignore him!"

Lee Liang couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled An and was about to leave.

"Don't go. You can't go. You left me behind just like that. Do you have the heart to do that?"

The zombie wailed. He knew very well that if Lee Liang and An didn't take him away, he might really have to stay here for the rest of his life!

Lee Liang didn't have any feelings for zombies, let alone sympathy. He just left without looking back.

An hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind Lee Liang. He had decided that he had to do it!

"Hey, you guys really left. Let's go, let's go. But let me tell you, even if you leave for the rest of your lives, you won't be able to find a Lord!"

The little zombie crossed its arms, looking proud.

Sure enough, Lee Liang stopped when he heard that. Then, he walked back and soon arrived beside the zombie.

"What do you know? Tell me, or I'll beat you up!"

While he was talking, Lee Liang purposely pressed his palm, as if he was about to make a move.

"Hmph, you came here not to find the Lord, could it be to search for treasure? I have seen many people who came earlier than you. They all died here. Let me tell you... Without me leading the way, you can only lose your direction and die! "

The zombie proudly smiled.

At the same time, he moved his body. A leg covered in tree roots actually reached out of the vine.

"See? I've been working hard all these years. As long as you help me, I can be free. As repayment, I can take you out of here and find the Lord. As for what happens after that, it has nothing to do with me!"

The zombie said seriously.

Lee Liang nodded. He and An pulled him out like pulling a carrot.

After the zombie completely broke free from the vine, Lee Liang finally saw his face clearly. His upper body. He looked like a human, except for his red eyes, the rest of his body looked like a child. His lower body was like a treant, his skin wrinkled. His two feet were covered with roots, and every step he took... Those roots would unconsciously take root in the soil, as if they were absorbing nutrients. Then, they would feed him.

"I'm finally free!"

The little zombie jumped excitedly on the ground, like a child who had come to an amusement park, releasing energy to its heart's content.

After he had played enough, he said, "You can call me Root. I didn't have a name before, so I just thought about it."

After the Root said that, it ran ahead. Lee Liang chased after it, afraid that it would run away.

"Don't worry. I will do what I promised you!"

The tree root kept walking with Lee Liang and the other two. It had indeed avoided many dangers in time.

A group of armored zombies were moving around, looking extremely fierce. As they walked towards Lee Liang and the others, the tree root fell to the ground. Then, Lee Liang and the other two followed suit. The group of iron-armored zombies acted as if they hadn't seen them at all. They just walked away.

"Hehe, how about it? Follow me. Don't worry. I'm too familiar with the environment here. I've seen and understood almost everything that could pose a threat to you."

The tree root said proudly.

"The armored zombies that passed by just now were like the patrolling soldiers here. They were very ferocious, attacking almost indiscriminately at any living creature they encountered. But as long as they fell, they would think that they were dead. They won't attack. This is their weakness!"

When Lee Liang heard this, he analyzed it in his heart.

The tree root didn't look old. It looked like a child. How could it really be like what he said? It had seen all the dangers in this place, and that required a lot of time to accumulate.

Could it be that the tree root was like a tree, only growing a little every year? Although it looked like a child, it had actually lived for a long time?

These were only his guesses.

Wait. The armored zombie walked away, then the three of them started walking again.

"Root, do you have a year ring?"

Lee Liang couldn't help but ask, even though he felt that those words were somewhat similar.

"Damn it, you still think of me as a plant. Only books have rings. I am a zombie!"

The root of the tree was furious.

Lee Liang did not continue asking. The tree root said something that no one else could understand.

"Let me tell you, Corpse Boss, the mountain that you see, is actually alive!"

The tree root emphasized this particular sentence.

"Nonsense, the corpse has already turned into a mountain, how can it still be alive?"

This time, the one who slapped the tree root's face was An. She knew this place better than Lee Liang. Almost every region had been developed. There were ores in this huge mountain. There were deep forests and streams, which had formed an ecosystem. How could he still be a living zombie?

"I knew your eyes were so shallow!"

The root shook its head.

"There are many forms of life. In the eyes of humans, zombies are life? Of course not. Humans only think that zombies are monsters! But how do we zombies see ourselves? "

"We are not monsters. Zombies already have their own civilization and future!"1

An said stubbornly, even though she was worried that Lee Liang would be unhappy.

"By the way, I can't tell you too much about this problem. Anyway, you guys can continue to follow me. It's about Corpse Boss's biggest secret. When you know about it, you will feel that a Lord is nothing. Not even a fart! "

As Tree Root spoke, he had already arrived in front of a circular stone door. He used his hand to cleverly sound a series of music on the stone door.

The stone door actually slowly opened.
