I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 43: Homecoming

Luo Zehn's POV

It didn't take long before Ye Zhiyun caught wind of my arrival. A few seconds later, she came running towards us with a bunch of healers in tow.

I looked back and smiled at Yang Chen and the others.

We made it.

The looks of relief on their faces were priceless as they collapsed to their knees, exhaustion finally overtaking them.

"What happened here?" Ye Zhiyun and Xiao Liang simultaneously blurted out, almost splashing a considerable amount of saliva on my face.

"Hold on! I'm tired as it is. Let me get some rest and then I'll tell you everything that happened." I tried to act as energetic as possible but I couldn't withhold my mouth from releasing a yawn. Just as I turned around, I noticed that there were quite a few arrivals in our shelter, not just the ones that I rescued with that mysterious young man.

"I see we've got a few arrivals, huh."

"Oh those, they're Yu Sying and Yu Yan, mother, and daughter. The third one is Lin Xian." Ye Zhiyun introduced. "Apparently, they met a mysterious young kid who goes by the name of Tang Yongrui and you may not believe it but... apparently, he has the blood element! Can you believe that!"

I gaped in shock, my sleepiness totally leaving my body. Blood Element is one of the rarest elements to ever exist, only discovered after the virus already spread all over the world. This Element allows one to wield his or her blood and could even reverse the effects of the virus itself. One of the most renowned Shelters in the world called the Red Sea Shelter, gained its power because one of their cultivators had the rare element of the blood element. This allowed some of their hunters to be a little bit immune from the bite, thus making them one of the invincible shelters to ever exist.

"If we could bring him over to our side, then we wouldn't have to worry about other shelters trying to take over ours." I thought to myself, but somehow, my thoughts escaped my lips and it was heard by Yu Sying and the others.

"Yes, that is what we're thinking about as well... but from what we heard... well." Ye Zhiyun trailed off after sneaking a glance towards Yu Sying and her daughter. "I don't think it would be possible. You see, although the three of them did confirm about his blood element, he was bitten by a Stage-2 High-Leveled Zombie before he could take control of it. And well... there's a chance that he didn't survive the bite."

"I see. But we can't prove that unless we meet him, I guess."

Just when I was thinking about this... a memory emerged from my mind. I immediately recalled meeting a young man which could summon dead zombies at will. "Now that I think about it, I also met a young man who utilizes another rare element. It's not the Blood Element, however, it's the Dark Element."

Ye Zhiyun's eyes went wide in shock as she stared at me. I could already tell what she was about to say next before she even opened her mouth. "Where is he now, why didn't you bring him over to our side?" Ye Zhiyun exclaimed.

"This is heaven-sent. Two connections with rare elements could only take us so far." Xiao Liang interrupted. "That aside, why didn't you try to bring him over to our shelter, Luo Zehn?"

"I did! I invited him to our shelter... but the thing is, there's something we have to take care of first."I responded before they could even continue speaking. I could tell that I'm in a difficult spot so I had to deny their accusation of not bringing him over to our side as soon as possible.

"And what is that?" Ye Zhiyun's eyes turned into slits as she questioned me.

I sighed. These guys... they're working their butts too much that they couldn't even think properly. "Look, I'm tired... and I did say I will give a full report once I get my rest. So please let me rest first and then I'll relay everything that happened while I was away."

The moment I said that Ye Zhiyun and XIao Liang flinched a little bit. They realized that they were egging on the wrong person and they immediately made way for me. After briefly nodding my head in their direction, I headed towards my tent.

Sigh...

Another successful scouting.

...

Even though I was already under the covers of my bed, I still couldn't sleep. Somehow, I felt guilty that I left some information from the group. The young man I met had some sort of berserker mode and not only that, he had the dark element as well. If I were to tell them that, I could guarantee that they would start panicking.

That young man is a good kid. I mean, he went out of control after seeing the state of Si Shelter. He didn't kill anyone just for the pure fun of it. Sure he did tear them to shreds... but they've brought it upon themselves. If that young man didn't stop me... then I would have done the same.

"You know what, I'll just simplify my report as much as I can. And after that, I have to meet up with that young kid again in Ziyou Shelter. I hope he's doing well. It would be a waste if he encounters a misfortune, after all."

With that out of my mind, sleepiness finally started kicking in once again. I tugged at my blanket and lay down sideways as a cool breeze blew from the entrance of my tent. This is the reason why I chose to sleep in a tent rather than a house... it's way cooler this way, literally.

Ahh...

As I sunk into a deep slumber, my senses woke me up and made me stand up and ready my sword. Footsteps approached my tent.

"Um, pardo- "

Slash!
