Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 498: More Sugar!

Zhou Ze took a deep breath. The armor on his body slowly faded. It was still alright to carry this thing, but it would not be able to withstand more. If it kept appearing on his body, it would also continuously deplete the murderous aura in his body. If the stalemate lasted a little longer, he would be exhausted to the point of collapsing.

His chest rose and fell. Then, it slowly calmed down. Zhou Ze’s hands hung on both sides of his body. His ten fingernails touched the green bricks on the ground. From his appearance, he looked a little like the Crazy Eight Gods of the old arcade game era.

Zhou Ze was not sure if the little devil outside would be alarmed. The only thing he could do for Lawyer An was to drag the big boss here first. The rest could only depend on Lawyer An himself.

To be honest, the previous Boss Zhou had never thought that he would come to a ghost nest and directly challenge its boss. Zhou Ze had always been diligent in his previous life. He was a straight-A student in school. He had always been judged by outstanding activists in his work. He did not have time to pay attention to any gangsters, nor did he have any dreams of being a Chuunibyou. These things were too extravagant for Zhou Ze in his previous life.

Alright, he didn’t need to think about things that he hadn’t thought about in his previous life. He could move it to this life and experience it directly.

Zhou Ze was puzzled for a moment when he heard the little boy suddenly ask, “You’re a zombie too?” He replied, “What a coincidence. You’re one too?”

If only the plot could develop in a beautiful and warm direction, when zombies saw zombies, they would embrace each other. They were people that the three realms could not tolerate, and they all had their own hardships. They would have a good time together drinking a cup of wine and talking about their grievances. Then, they would share their thoughts and look forward to a beautiful future together. For example, how to plan for the future development of zombies and contribute a part of their strength.

How harmonious and wonderful. Boss Zhou always thought it was best not to fight if he could. It was a pity.

Then, the little boy asked, “Are you worthy of being a zombie?”

“…” Zhou Ze.

This was a bit like chatting the whole day to death. When Zhou Ze had offered his goodwill, the other party directly started personal attacks. Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and said very seriously, “I may be your ancestor.”

This was the truth. Zhou Ze didn’t have the slightest intention of exaggerating or venting his anger. In terms of seniority in the zombie world, Zhou Ze wasn’t targeting anyone. The zombies present were all descendants of his grandchildren.

Many times, when you were speaking the truth from the bottom of your heart, others just wouldn’t listen. Looking at the increasingly deep sneer on the little boy’s face, Zhou Ze knew clearly that this guy definitely didn’t listen.

His truth might even have had the effect of adding fuel to the fire. Zhou Ze tried to shout to Yinggou in his heart.

After shouting for a long time, there was no response at all. Yinggou had too much fun the night before last. Coupled with the fact that he had lost a lot of money after being blown up by the Buddha relic, Zhou Ze’ estimated that this guy might not wake up for the next month or two.

Every time Zhou Ze met an opponent, he would usually be noisy and annoying like an old woman. He would repeatedly be inciting and bewitching him to borrow his power. This time, he just kept quiet and didn’t pay any attention to it.

It would be great if he could come out, Zhou Ze thought. If he could come out now, not completely but as long as he revealed a little bit of his aura, the little boy zombie in front of him would probably kneel and call him daddy!

However, things didn’t go smoothly. The little boy rushed up again. He seemed to be thinking about Lin Ke, his beloved wife. So, he didn’t plan to delay for too long. He wanted to finish the battle quickly.

Whether Zhou Ze was a zombie or not, he had to finish it quickly. Boss Zhou had no other choice. He dragged his ten nails and aimed to meet him.

There was no other way. If he could not bring Lin Ke back, how would he explain it to his childhood friend, Wang Ke, in the future? He couldn’t say, “Don’t worry, your daughter is now the wife at a ghost nest. She eats earthworms and mice all day long. There are a lot of dead souls waiting on her. It’s a very comfortable life!”

The two zombies made contact again. In an instant, it was a showdown between Mars and Earth. This time, the little boy also stretched out ten fingers. His nails were long, but not as exaggerated as Zhou Ze’s. Each nail was only the length of a pen.

The two nails came into contact first. Ear-piercing sounds were constantly produced at each fierce collision. Sparks flew in all directions. The surrounding murderous aura rippled layer after layer. The nearby bluestone bricks were covered in frost because of this.

To be honest, the little boy must be much more powerful than Yingying. When a zombie at Yingying’s level faced the aura of Zhou Ze’s nails, she didn’t dare to have any thoughts of fighting. However, the little boy in front of her kept his head raised. His eyes were full of fighting spirit!

His bloodline wasn’t low either! Zhou Ze used his long fingernails to gain an advantage at the beginning, but the little boy’s strength was stronger than Zhou Ze’s. After fighting for a while, Zhou Ze was somewhat surprised to find that his arms were already starting to feel numb. His ten fingers even lost their intuition. The little boy was getting braver and braver as he fought. He slowly recovered from his initial disadvantage and began to counterattack at the same time.

This can’t go on like this. He might be forcefully exhausted to death by the other party! Zhou Ze knew very well that the little boy was a real zombie just like Yingying at home. He had great strength. To be honest, before he turned into a zombie, he had only borrowed the strength of this living person’s body. Everyone’s reservoir was not on the same level at all.

The next moment, the little boy’s fingernails grabbed Zhou Ze’s fingernails and exerted force downward. Zhou Ze’s body tilted and fell. The little boy raised his knee and attacked!

Zhou Ze believed he might have died instantly if his flesh and blood body was directly hit by the little zombie’s knee. If he was lucky, a series of bones would have been destroyed.

“Ghost Jade!” A black-colored Ghost Jade instantly emerged from Zhou Ze’s palm. It swam up along the little boy’s hand, trying to drill into the little boy’s brain.

The little boy quickly retreated and had no choice but to let go of Zhou Ze. He opened his mouth revealing his two cute fangs. He let out a roar!

“Roar!”

A violent baleful aura began to boil. The Ghost Jade was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. It would be fine if you let it launch a sneak attack. If you let it go head-on, the Ghost Jade would immediately soften up. This time, it immediately began to retreat frantically behind Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze believed that, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was holding onto his palm and it couldn’t return, perhaps it would already be hiding back and trembling.

The little boy’s face began to turn green. The murderous aura on his body became much denser than before. The blood in his eyes became so thick that it seemed as if it would turn into a drop of water that would fall out. He opened his mouth and continuously exhaled. Then he raised both of his arms!

‘What kind of move was this?’ While Zhou Ze was still thinking, he suddenly realized that the little boy in front of him had disappeared.

In the next moment, the little boy appeared behind Zhou Ze. Ten fingernails pierced towards Zhou Ze’s neck! Zhou Ze did not have time to dodge. He could only rely on his fingernails to block the attack!

The little boy roared, he opened his mouth and bit down on Zhou Ze!

At this critical moment, a hint of anger appeared in Zhou Ze’s eyes. The skin on his body began to turn green. Two fangs appeared at the corner of his mouth. His entire aura was also changing!

“Crack!”

The little boy’s teeth bit Zhou Ze’s arm, but only two bloody marks appeared. It was not completely bitten open! It was as if an ordinary person had fallen on the ground.

Zhou Ze turned around and spread his arms. It was as if he had completely let go of his defense. The little boy was stunned. He saw Zhou Ze open his mouth towards him, “Roar!” Then, Zhou Ze’s fangs bit down at him!

“Pfft!!!”

The little boy subconsciously raised his arm to block. The sound of flesh and blood being penetrated could be heard. He screamed miserably and kicked at Zhou Ze.

“Bang!”

Boss Zhou was sent flying and crashed into the wall of the courtyard. It was unknown in which era and which boring person had built this wall underground but the quality of this wall was incredible. Zhou Ze had only dented the wall slightly. The wall did not collapse! The future contractors should come here to see what a conscious project this was.

The little boy widened his eyes in horror as he looked at the two deep bloody holes on his arm. He could not believe that his body was instantly torn open by the other party’s teeth and yet, he could only barely bite through his skin.

The little boy could instinctively tell that the man opposite him was very weak! The little boy covered his wound with his hand. He glared at Zhou Ze and growled, “Who the hell are you?!”

Zhou Ze staggered up from the ground. His fangs were still there, but the cyan color on his body seemed to be fading. If it wasn’t for his soul wandering around outside earlier, he would have been able to activate a little zombie state without waking up that person just now. He might have been dismembered.

Faced with the little boy’s questioning, Zhou Ze took a deep breath. He also roared very seriously, “I’ve already said I’m your ancestor!”

“Ha…” The little boy sneered. He no longer cared about his injured arm. He walked straight towards Zhou Ze. He said with a ferocious expression, “I don’t care who you are. Today, I’m going to pull out your fingernails and break your teeth. I’m going to treat them as my collection!”

Zhou Ze shook his head, trying to keep his spirits up. He couldn’t afford to waste any more time. Under the astonished gaze of the little boy, Zhou Ze slowly knelt down. His hands were spread open, and his fingertips were pressed against the green brick floor in the direction of the little boy.

“You surrender?” The little boy grinned sinisterly. He could sense that this man’s aura was very weak and unstable.

Zhou Ze also smiled and said, “Children like to eat sweet food, right? This is the first time we’ve met. Your uncle… No… Your ancestor… Let me give you a gift for our first meeting.”

“More sugar!”
