Chapter 59 - 3.16
They arrived at Duran city after a three days trip. Ru Lan had the same black suit that he wore when he defended the city from the zombie army created by Ling Kai.
Nothing had changed after Ru Lan’s disappearance, the guards still chatted while guarding the front gate, expedition cars were still going in and out of the city to collect valuable brain beads. Nothing changed, as if Ru Lan never existed in their memory.
The guards spotted a new car parked in front of the gate, they thought it might be new people wanting to settle in Duran City. They approached the vehicle and knocked on the car window.
The window rolled down, "Hey, if you—"
The guard who talked just now shut his mouth immediately. His face paled as if he had seen a ghost at noon. His body trembled and he stuttered, "P—President... GHOST! A GHOST!"
The guard ran to his post, while his friend was petrified upon seeing President Ru staring at him coldly. He never knew that there would be time where President Ru returned as a ghost, he was even more terrified when he saw the one in the driver seat.
The zombie king, Ling Kai drove the car, his amber eyes glared hostilely glared at him, "A—President... I—I am sorry."
Ru Lan felt that it was a bit funny to see his people looking at him as if he was already dead. He pulled the man’s collar and then commanded him, "I want to see Bi He, take me to him now."
The news about President Ru returning as a ghost spread like wildfire in Duran City. Of course, they didn’t believe that President Ru had become a ghost, but it was unbelievable that President Ru could return safely from Ling Kai’s grasp, even went as far as bringing Ling Kai with him inside Duran City. They thought that President Ru had successfully defeated Ling Kai and made him his subordinate.
The citizens of Duran City had slowly forgotten about President Ru, because it was much more peaceful after President Bi took control and President Ru was taken away by Ling Kai. Perhaps due to Ling Kai’s influence, the zombies around Duran City were exceptionally weak. So Duran City became the safest city in the region.
But when President Ru returned back unscathed, they started screaming his name again, "President Ru is the best! President Ru will protect us all!"
