Chapter 855: Chapter 855: What Zhang Yiming Cannot Do

Under the watchful eyes of the Bai Family and Zhang Yiming, Captain Zhang vanished.

At a speed hardly perceivable to the naked eye.

Even as powerful Superpower Users, none could trace his movement.

Only a distant sound of waves erupting was heard, far out in the sea.

Then calmness ensued.

An endless calm.

There was no roar from colossal sea beasts, nor were there scenes of zombie marine creatures scrambling ashore.

After waiting for half a day, there was no sign of any movement.

"Why is there no movement?"

Bai Yifan scratched his head, feeling the calmness in the sea was too excessive.

A powerful human survivor entering the sea should certainly provoke an attack from the zombie marine creatures.

Even if they couldn’t defeat Captain Zhang, waves of considerable height should be stirred up; it was impossible for not even a ripple to appear.

"Wars among the strong need not always be fought physically."

Zhang Yiming stood by the seaside as faint black waves occasionally splashed at his feet, then retreated feebly.

The ripples raised in the sea were smaller than those by normal wind.

"Captain Zhang is unbelievably strong."

The Base Commander watched the sea with a stroke of surprise reflected in his gaze.

Normally, a person can hold their breath underwater for merely a few minutes; Captain Zhang possesses formidable Water Ability and other assorted abilities, theoretically allowing him to stay submerged for hours.

But he plans to battle the creatures beneath the sea; this astonishing capability perhaps only Captain Zhang can accomplish.

With each tick of time passing, from sunrise in the east to dusk in the west, Captain Zhang showed no intent of emerging from the waters.

No zombie marine creatures emerged from the sea, nor was there any sound from the giant beasts below.

Nor was there any sound of waves erupting.

Calm as a stagnant pool, only a circle of ripples appeared when wind blew.

The crowd’s emotions shifted from initial admiration to concern.

This progress is not looking promising.

"Xiao Ming, Captain Zhang wouldn’t have run into trouble, would he?"

Bai Xiqin addressed Zhang Yiming, who had stood motionless beside the sea from the beginning.

He appeared like a statue, unmoving since Captain Zhang entered the sea, eyes fixed on the ocean.

The Bai Family knew that Zhang Yiming was using brainwaves to detect Captain Zhang’s whereabouts.

"No, he is perfectly fine."

Zhang Yiming paused briefly, his voice calm and understated.

Yet within those deep eyes, ripples stirred.

The surprise, astonishment, admiration, and various emotions mixed and vanished swiftly.

The crowd failed to discern Zhang Yiming’s emotions before he concealed them swiftly.

Seemingly as though nothing had transpired.

Bai Xiqin tentatively cast her own brainwaves over the sea, yet her weak brainwaves couldn’t compare to even an ordinary Corpse King.

The distance had its limits.

She could only remotely sense robust brainwaves from the sea depths, and nothing more.

Oddly, those brainwaves held no aggression, merely remaining there like Zhang Yiming’s zombie subordinates.

It seemed Captain Zhang’s target was still deep beneath the sea floor.

Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai, who pressed his thin lips together, appearing very severe with tightly furrowed brows that couldn’t be soothed.

The sky gradually darkened, and after hastily finishing their dinner, the Bai Family returned to the seaside to wait.

The sea remained static, with no signs of activity.

In the chilliness of the night, the coastal winds were even colder, piercing the bone-dry air, causing even the Ice Ability-user Bai Xiqin to slightly shiver.

Eventually, the Bai Family returned to the coach, leaving Leng Yebai, Bai Xiqin, and Zhang Yiming to stand guard by the sea.

With a lack of proper sleep the previous night, and from spending the entire day by the shore, as time wore on into the late hours, Bai Xiqin began feeling drowsy.

Leng Yebai fetched a thick down coat, wrapped Bai Xiqin in it, and escorted her to the coach.

In the end, only Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai’s silhouettes remained at the seaside.

"Captain Zhang sure can sacrifice himself."

When Leng Yebai spoke, his voice was so faint it was hard to hear.

The cold sea wind nearly scattered his words.

In the dark night, a distance separated them, making it hard to see each other; they spoke into the darkness.

"He never does anything he’s not sure of; this is part of his plan."

Finally, Leng Yebai heard Zhang Yiming’s calm reply in the cold wind.

Thus, they chatted into the chill, unable to see each other’s faces.

"So, in that case, he doesn’t particularly trust you."

"He trusts no one, only himself. In a certain way, he trusts everyone."

Zhang Yiming’s response was a bit convoluted, but Leng Yebai understood.

Captain Zhang is that kind of person.

He appears to trust everyone, providing every potential Superpower User ample Crystal Cores to absorb, never stingy.

Yet he trusts no one; every task must be one hundred percent assured before he acts.

When he commits, he follows through to the end.

Like now.

Having cooperated with Zhang Yiming, Captain Zhang presumably trusts Zhang Yiming; if Zhang Yiming were to join below, they could easily crush sea monsters.

But that would require Zhang Yiming to fully unleash his instincts.

Then, would Zhang Yiming still be the trustworthy Zhang Yiming?

No one knows the answer, but Captain Zhang does; he can foresee what lies ahead.

Thus, he chooses to go himself.

So Zhang Yiming doesn’t have to fully release his instincts, control the creatures beneath, and turn into a tool of destruction.

How could a human body endure the colossal beasts below?

Even Captain Zhang’s formidable abilities could not completely intimidate or beat them.

Unless Captain Zhang also possesses brainwaves.

The combination of powerful brainwaves and abilities could crown him the Emperor of the depths.

Even Zhang Yiming could not achieve this.

Zhang Yiming has beautifully restrained his instincts, avoiding the consumption of flesh, eschewing bloodlust.

All of this is under the premise of suppressing his brainwaves and curbing his instincts.

These days at the seaside allowed him slight indulgence in releasing his instincts.

This was also the time he dared not approach the Bai Family.

This day, he didn’t step onto the coach, and kept his distance from the Bai Family.

He feared losing control, fearing even glimpsing a fierce expression would burden him with guilt for long.

The black mist emanating from him was the barely leaked zombie virus, as well as the impulsive instincts he continually restrained.

He could indulge further, but then he wouldn’t know if he would fully become the future Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.

Would he still be himself?

Could he return to his present self?

Zhang Yiming didn’t know but constantly believed he could control his instincts for Xiao Niu.

Yet Captain Zhang’s actions clearly informed Zhang Yiming he wasn’t capable.

He must continually restrain himself to sustain the zombie order and veer the world slightly towards peace.
