Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 201: The Appearance of Monsters (II)

Du Long knitted his brows. “Please listen to me, it’s not that I’m afraid of death. I don’t think it’s a good idea to fight with them now.”

The two men in black looked at each other and said, “You said that Liu Suifeng still needs ten days to make enough antidote. Let’s take advantage of it to launch the final offensive.”

“But those people are just infected. They haven’t become what we want and they can’t attack at all!”

“They can still be obstacles anyway.”

“Yes, Du Long, we don’t have much time.”

“But...” Du Long gritted his teeth. “If all the poisons underground are wasted, the base will be exposed and we’ll lose Quanzhou. It’s such a great place. We have been running this place for five years. If it is eliminated, master will surely blame us, won’t he?”

The two men in black looked at each other. Then, one of them said coldly, “If Shi Qingzhou can die here, it’ll be worth it.”

“By the way.” Du Long suddenly thought of one thing. “While we were fighting, a man went there and Shi Qingzhou seemed to care about him a lot. When that man was injured, Shi Qingzhou carried him away directly. I suspect that man may be the emperor.”

“What?” One man in black was shocked. “The emperor? How is that possible? The emperor is in the palace now!”

“Are you sure?” Asked Du Long.

The two men in black looked at each other. Actually, they were not sure.

At this time, there was a regular knock on the door.

All three of them were shocked. Then, Du Long hurried to open the door.

A man dressed as a common man came in.

“It’s from the imperial city.” After saying that, the man went out directly.

Du Long and the others didn’t know that man, but the regular knock was their secret code, which meant that someone was sent by their master to contact them.

The three of them looked at each other and then Du Long unfolded the note.

The next moment, Du Long’s eyes widened. “As expected, the emperor is not in the palace. The investigation of our people there shows that the real emperor has joined Shi Qingzhou! That man I saw that day was really the emperor! It’s a pity that I only saw him from afar. The others were all killed by Shi Qingzhou. I can’t confirm that man’s identity until now.”

The two men in black immediately said, “If the emperor is here, it won’t be a big problem even if the base is exposed or even destroyed. As long as Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan are dead, it’ll be worth it.”

“That’s right. To conquer or to die. We don’t have so many choices.”

Seeing that the two men were so determined, Du Long also made up his mind.

“Well, since both of you say so, let’s just do it!”

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou still didn’t know that Du Long had made a crazy decision.

At night, Long wanted to have sex with Shi, but Shi didn’t seem to have much interest.

Since Long kept pestering Shi, Shi finally agreed.

However, Shi refused to do it after a while.

“Why not?” Long looked at Shi sadly.

Shi said calmly, “I’m a little tired. I want to sleep.”

Long blinked. “Qingzhou, what made you so tired?”

Shi said, “I didn’t do anything special, but I’m really tired.”

Long’s lips twitched and he finally gave up. “Alright...”

Long said that reluctantly. Looking at Long like that, Shi smiled.

The next day, Shi was still sleeping when Long got up, which surprised him.

Long leaned over and looked at his empress with great love. If it was in the past, Shi might have woken up. Long didn’t know why, but Shi was still sleeping as a log.

So, Long suddenly wanted to play with him.

Long got closer to him. He first pinched Shi’s cheeks. Seeing that Shi didn’t move at all, he grinned and pulled Shi’s cheeks.

Finally, Shi opened his eyes.

Long kissed his lover at the moment when he opened his eyes. The kiss was so passionate that it surpassed that of last night.

Shi was surprised.

Before he had realized that, Long had begun to make use of the time to pull off his clothes.

Shi didn’t wear much while sleeping. There was only underwear and it was soon taken off by Long.

Shi frowned a little, but Long was very passionate and didn’t plan to stop.

Shi knitted his brows and Long’s hand had begun to move down from his chest...

“Wait.” Finally, Shi held Long’s hand.

Long blinked and looked at Shi. “Qingzhou?”

Shi took a deep breath. “I’m hungry. I want to get up.”

Long thought that something must be wrong. He felt that... he was excluded by his lover.

Long found that he could still get close to Shi, but Shi didn’t want to have sex with him.

Shi was behaving like that these two days.

If what happened the previous night was an accident, Shi’s behavior this day could explain everything.

“Qingzhou, you don’t want me to touch you?” Asked Long.

Shi slowly shook his head. “No, I just think we need to be restrained.”

Long’s face darkened. “Do you think we’re not restrained enough?”

Shi pursed his lips. When he was just about to say something, they heard a scream of panic coming from outside.

The two of them didn’t have time to discuss this. They knew that something must have happened outside!

After getting dressed quickly, they opened the door and went out.

Ying Feng appeared by the door. “Master. Master Shi.”

“What happened?” Long asked at once.

Ying Feng replied, “There are a lot of monsters on the street.”

Long was stunned. “Monsters?”

Shi jumped on the roof with Long, where they could easily see the situation on the street.

Long gasped in astonishment at the sight. “What... What are those things?”

Long saw that there were zombies on the street!

Right! They were just like the zombies in the movie!

Their bodies of those creatures had been rotten, but they could still move!

And they were attacking the living people!

“Those creatures are highly toxic.” Liu Suifeng also jumped on the roof and said seriously.

Long thought that they were really like zombies.

“What can we do?” Shi looked at Liu.

The officers and soldiers had already begun to take action, but they didn’t dare to get close to those monsters and they could only fight them with weapons. The monsters were extremely powerful.

Long saw that a zombie snatched a knife from a soldier’s hand and directly broke it!

“Their target is the right prime minister’s mansion.” Shi’s eyes narrowed.

Yes, those creatures’ target... was the right prime minister’s mansion! To be exact, it was them!

It could be seen that some people had already known Shi and Long were at this place!

Liu said coldly, “I’ll go to catch one.”

After that, Liu jumped down, followed by Ouyang Chuan.

Long watched nervously from the roof. Liu and Ouyang could do great martial arts.

While Liu was fighting, he actually used his hands instead of weapons. Long was shocked. “Is he not afraid of being poisoned?”

Shi said calmly, “There were special gloves on his hands.”

“Oh?” Long looked carefully... That was true.

Liu and Ouyang fought together. Soon, two men were caught by them...

Shi helped Long jump down from the roof.

However, Shi didn’t let Long get close to those dangerous men. He always felt that if some people wanted to use this kind of thing to hurt them, this couldn’t be all they had got.

Those people must have other dirty tricks!

Therefore, Shi would not let Long get close to them.

Long didn’t insist on approaching because he thought that those things like zombies were disgusting. But... Long found a problem.

“I found that... these two men seem to be the ones who died of the plague.”

The reason why Long said that was because of the scars and pustules on their faces... They looked just like those men who got infected!
