The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death

Chapter 216 Help Me Ascend the Throne

The three words "Zombie King" were like a poisoned blade, piercing Yan Wanwan's heart.

Her steps suddenly stopped, her fingertips dug deep into her palms, blood dripping through her fingers.

The next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared into the void, leaving only a shadow.

Back in ancient times, Yan Wanwan's festering body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her skin became smooth and delicate again, as if it had never been hurt.

However, this was only superficial—the zombie poison within her body was forcibly trapped in a corner, like a time bomb, poised to explode at any moment. If not quickly eliminated, the toxin would completely corrode her body, and even the antidote would be powerless to save her.

At this moment, a familiar breath approached quietly.

Yan Wanwan suddenly looked up, her eyes piercing the figure in the darkness like a knife.

Her back teeth were clattering, and she almost squeezed out a name from between her teeth: "Prince of Dongping!"

In the darkness of the night, Prince Dongping leaned lazily against a tree trunk, the moonlight shining on his profile, outlining a curve that seemed to be a smile.

He was not afraid of the overwhelming aura emanating from Yan Wanwan. Instead, he looked at her with interest, as if he was admiring a fine work of art.

"County Lady Yan, do you want to kill me again?" His voice was low and playful, with a hint of provocation.

Yan Wanwan didn't waste any words. The vine whip in his hand swung out like a poisonous snake, hitting the face of the Prince of Dongping with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

However, before the whip touched the corner of his clothes, his figure disappeared like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he was standing steadily behind her.

"County Master Yan, since you know that I also have spatial abilities, why waste your energy?" His voice came lightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

Yan Wanwan remained silent, attacking frantically. Her vine whip left traces in the air, but she couldn't touch the Prince of Dongping at all. The excessive consumption of her supernatural powers made her vision blurry, and her body gradually became heavy.

Finally, she had to stop her attack and stared at him coldly, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.

"This is your true self," she said through gritted teeth.

The Prince of Dongping chuckled softly, raised his hand and stroked his long black hair, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Yes, you found it. This look is much more pleasing to the eye than that half-human, half-ghost look."

He paused, looking at Yan Wanwan with a burning gaze, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't connected the ancient times with the apocalypse, I wouldn't have been able to break through the barriers of time and space so easily and be reborn."

His tone was light, but it made Yan Wanwan's heart sink.

It turned out that she was the one who brought the evil wolf into this pure land.

The Prince of Dongping seemed to see through her thoughts, and his tone suddenly softened. "County Lady Yan, why are you so hostile to me? Now that I have regained my human body, I naturally don't want to damage it, and I will not let this pure land become another apocalypse. We can definitely cooperate and create a prosperous world together."

In modern times, he was an ordinary wage earner, living a nine-to-six routine, earning a meager salary and living frugally. Then, when the apocalypse arrived, he was among the first to be infected by the zombie virus, yet he retained his self-awareness and gradually developed supernatural powers, allowing him to control the zombies for his own benefit. That was when he first experienced the allure of power, and he eventually became the all-powerful and unrivaled Zombie King.

But later the appearance of Yan Wanwan ruined everything. Although he survived by chance, he was unable to continue evolving due to the huge shock. Fortunately, it was later discovered that Yan Wanwan had opened up the passage between ancient times and the end of the world. Not only did he restore his original body, but he also retained the ability of the Zombie King, which is comparable to a second rebirth.

"Cooperation?" Yan Wanwan sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm. "If you really don't want this place to become the end of the world, why did you bring zombies here?"

The Prince of Dongping raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you? Didn't you bring zombies with you too?"

Yan Wanwan was speechless. Indeed, ever since she began building Nanping Prefecture, she had been utilizing zombies as a labor force. Whether it was reclaiming wasteland or building fortifications, these tireless "tools" had played a tremendous role. Even now, she was still using zombies to open secret passages, allowing her to continue trading goods despite the alliance between Dongping Prefecture and the Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Prince of Dongping curled his lips into a sarcastic smile. "So, County Master Yan, we are essentially the same. Even your body is now no different from my doomsday clone."

"Shut up!" Yan Wanwan interrupted him harshly, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes, "I'm different from you! You're just a monster in human skin. You can never become a real human being!"

This sentence seemed to have touched the Prince of Dongping's reverse scale. His smile froze instantly, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, his figure approached like a ghost, and his cold fingers pinched Yan Wanwan's neck and pressed her against the tree trunk.

"Yan Wanwan!" His voice was low and dangerous, with a hint of gnashing teeth. "Do you think you are still qualified to lecture me now? Your energy has long been exhausted. You are no match for me. As long as you cooperate obediently, I will not only spare your life, but also share this prosperous era with you. Otherwise..."

His fingers tightened slightly, and Yan Wanwan's breathing suddenly became difficult.

"What else?" She spoke with difficulty, but a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Kill me?"

At this moment, a faint blue light quietly condensed from Yan Wanwan's fingertips and pointed directly at his brain.

The piercing pain reappeared in his mind, and he heard Yan Wanwan say coldly, "If anyone is going to die, you should die first."

The Prince of Dongping's pupils shrank slightly, and the strength in his hands unconsciously loosened a little. He slowly let go of Yan Wanwan's neck, took a step back, and forced a twisted smile on his face, "As expected of you, Princess Yan. Even when you are exhausted, you can still make me suffer."

Yan Wanwan gasped for breath, staring at the other party without slacking off, "Send your zombies back to the end of the world."

"That's no problem." Prince Dongping agreed without hesitation, "But I have a request. I want all the supplies in Nanping Prefecture."

"You're dreaming." Those materials were the foundation of her painstaking efforts, and she would never give them up.

Prince Dongping was not surprised by her refusal. He still had that half-smile on his face as he walked forward and said, "Then help me ascend the throne."

Yan Wanwan was stunned. "You want to be the emperor?"

"Throughout history, heroes and great men have all aspired to achieve the great feat of becoming the greatest emperor of all time. As one endowed with modern knowledge, I shall lead the Great Xia Dynasty to its pinnacle. The unfinished ambitions of Qin Shi Huang will be completed by me."

The Prince of Dongping looked at her with burning eyes, his eyes full of desire and ambition for supreme power.
