The Game Character I Raised is the Boss of the End of the World

Chapter 133

Chapter 133

Li Weilan's first question was very simple. He asked the extremely thin boy, "What is your name?"

The boy remained silent for a moment.

Not because the question was difficult to answer, on the contrary, it was too simple and easy to answer. But he was well aware of the value of food in this world, which made him hesitate.

Li Weilan and Shen Cheng heard his response together. "My name is Li Yexing," he said his full name and then added sadly, "No one has called me by this name for a long time."

Li Weilan looked at the zombie, whose hand was now stiff and rigid, and found a faint resemblance between its decaying features and the boy.

Although Li Weilan didn't ask, the boy seemed extremely sensitive to the gaze of others. When he looked at them, he coldly said, "Are you going to ask about my relationship with my father?"

"Father?" Li Weilan thought to himself, "Just as I suspected." But before he could say anything, Li Yexing sharply replied, "Yes, it is my father, but not my biological father. My biological father has long been gone."

In just a few short sentences, Li Weilan extracted a great ethical drama. In this chaotic post-apocalyptic wasteland, although this child appeared to be less than ten years old, he had likely experienced more separations and farewells than adults before the apocalypse.

When the boy mentioned his "biological father," his tone was harsh and cold, devoid of any emotion. Clearly, their father-son relationship was strained.

For a child like this, being mature beyond their years was normal. If they were still naive, they wouldn't have survived until now.

Li Weilan nodded, not taking the boy's sharp tone as an offense. For this child, perhaps this zombie father figure was even more important than his biological father. And his scrutiny, to some extent, was indeed an offense: "To be willing to treat you like this, to value the food you can eat so much, indeed deserves to be called 'father' by you."

Li Yexing's brows revealed a trace of sadness: "It's a pity that I never called out to him when he was alive. Even if I shout now. . ." His voice carried a hint of soft sobbing.

Immediately, he glared at Li Weilan, quickly suppressing his weakness and spoke in a harsh tone: "Don't try to get close to me. What does my relationship with my father have to do with you? Ask whatever you want to ask, and once we're done, we'll leave."

Li Weilan's initial questions were meant to establish a baseline for questioning: the first question was about the child's name, the second was about the child's relationship with the zombies. Judging from the child's speed of response and facial expressions, he rarely interacted with people and didn't seem like someone who would lie.

It was only now that Li Weilan began to ask his first question to himself: "What information did those birds bring when they flew over earlier?"

The child gestured towards the zombies and then turned to Li Weilan, saying, "We must gather. It is said that we are going to witness. . ." He paused when mentioning this word and confirmed with the zombies before 'translating' the term, "the challenge of the king."

"???" The challenge of the king?

Thinking of the current zombie emperor, Fu Yanzhou, both Shen Cheng and Li Weilan's hearts skipped a beat: Sure enough, Fu Yanzhou's current situation is not good!

"What is this challenge about?" Li Weilan asked further.

The child gestured and murmured to the zombies again, then shook his head, saying, "Dad said he doesn't know either. The birds only said so much. But the new king of the challenge said he won't let us go hungry."
