Chapter 8 — Queen of the Zombie Picky Eaters

A little girl rushed towards Professor Lam. I rushed to block it, but the girl bit my arm. She's too light. Light as a bundle of bones. I didn't throw her away.

“Professor Lam, needle.”

Professor Lam knelt on the ground and slit the back of the girl's neck. Tham Tan led people to control other infected people. Khuong Le learned from me and smeared his blood on their noses. Some people gradually calmed down. Luc Hanh took advantage of the chaos and backed up to the car. Co Nghien hugged his leg.

“Take me away! I know all the data.”

Luc Hanh bowed his head.

“You know too much.”

The gun barrel was pressed against Co Nghien's forehead. I threw the knife out, deflecting the gun. Co Nghien escaped death and crawled to my feet.

“Dao Dao, save me.”

I lowered my head to look at him.

“How tall are you?”

He cried and said:

“One meter seven eight.”

“Ah, no help.”

Khuong Le kicked him.

"If you don't save me, I won't save you either."

Co Nghien collapsed and shouted:

"I can testify! I can make Luc Hanh die!"

Tham Tan ordered someone to drag him away. Luc Hanh got in the car. As soon as the car started, the one meter seven nine guy crawled out from underneath, hugging the wheel. The car overturned. Luc Hanh rolled out of the car, his face covered in blood. I stepped forward. He raised his head to look at me.

“You can't kill me. The city needs order.”

“Order is keeping living people in barrels?”

“So that more people can live.”

I squatted down.

"I don't understand these kind of words. I only know that whoever bites me, I will bite back."

Luc Hanh still wants to say. Tham Tan handcuffed him.

“Retained for trial.”

I looked outside the city. The zombies were standing there quietly. The half-conscious infected people had the black needles removed one by one. The girl let go of my arm and called out a very vague name for sister. I patted her head.

“Don't accept it randomly, I can't afford it.”

When the people of the main citadel came to take over Luc Hanh, the atmosphere was very great. They wore clean clothes and their shoe soles were not muddy. The leading woman was named Qin. She wasn't tall enough, but her mind seemed to be enough. After reviewing all the evidence, she immediately ordered Luc Hanh to be escorted. Luc Hanh said:

“Tan Man, you dare touch me?”

Tan Man took off his gloves.

“I dare.”

She looked at me.

“Khuong Dao, the city needs your coordination in arranging accommodation for infected people.”

I asked:

“Is there a salary?”

“Yes.”

“Is there food provided for people over six feet tall?”

Tan Man was silent. Tham Tan says:

“She means blood source standards.”

Tan Man looked at him.

“Captain Tham really understands her.”

I nodded.

"He's been bitten by me before, he's used to it."

There was a crack in Tan Man's expression. Khuong Le stood next to her, smiling until her back arched. Professor Lam brought the list.

“Of the first group of infected people, there may still be twenty-three sane survivors.”

I asked:

“Where are they?”

Tan Man said:

“Underground in the main city.”

Tam Tan asked:

“Why didn't you say it sooner?”

Tan Man did not avoid it.

"Because Luc Hanh hid it. Also because the city was afraid."

I asked:

“Afraid we will eat people?”

"I'm afraid you guys still remember."

This statement made the whole square silent. The infected people who are awake still remember who pushed them there, who used them in exchange for safety, who is sleeping soundly in the clean city. I suddenly felt hungry. I don't want to drink blood. But I want to bite it something. Tham Tan put his hand on my shoulder.

“Go to the main city.”

Tan Man said:

“The road is very dangerous.”

I looked at the zombies outside the city. The one meter seven nine guy was still there. When he saw me looking, he quietly backed away. I said:

“Lead the way.”

Before the main citadel convoy departed, captain Trieu's son ran over.

“Khuong Dao, can I come with you?”

Captain Trieu shouted in the distance:

“Don't go!”

His son did not turn around.

“I want to see what the people who really harm us look like.”

I said:

“Get in the car.”

Tam Tan asked:

"He's not tall enough, don't you blame him?"

I looked at the teenager.

“Minor, under protection period.”

The teenager's ears turned red. The car door closed. The high wall of the main castle appeared in the distance. On the wall hangs a row of large letters. Infected people are not allowed to enter. I laughed. It's bustling today. At the main city gate, guards stopped us.

“Infected people are not allowed in.”

Tan Man took out his travel document. The guards didn't bother to look.

“Chief Judge Luc has an order to destroy Khuong Dao on the spot.”

Tan Man said:

“Luc Hanh has been arrested.”

The guard replied:

“We only take orders.”

I stuck my head out of the car window.

“Do you recognize the height?”

The guards were stunned. Tham Tan pressed me back.

“Don't cause trouble.”

Tan Man got out of the car to negotiate. People from the main city gathered around, pointing at the car and chatting.

“It's her, isn't it? King of the undead.”

“I heard she controls a pack of cannibal zombies.”

“Get out, don't let her in.”

Khuong Le curled up next to me. She is afraid of humans. Not afraid of zombies, but afraid of the eyes of the living. I opened the door to get out of the car. Tham Tan also followed. The guards immediately raised their guns. I raised my hands.

“Don't stress, I've already eaten today.”
