Chapter 229: Chapter 230: If I Became the Leader of Humanity, Would You Be Willing to Coexist Peacefully with Us?

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan paused his movement to stand up and sat back down.

He glanced at the innocent and carefree Little Qiqi beside him and immediately fell silent.

Yeah!

After all, Little Qiqi is a human. Could he really let her live with zombies for the rest of her life?

No peers, no friends, no social life...

Can this really work?

Is it really fair to Little Qiqi?

Right now, while Little Qiqi is still young, they rely on each other, and naturally, she’s quite dependent on him.

But if Little Qiqi grows up and wants to return to the human world...

Could she, a girl raised among zombies, even reintegrate into it?

It would be very difficult...

Noticing Lu Chuan’s silence, seemingly deep in thought.

Zhao Lin’s heart stirred, knowing her words just now had taken effect.

The Corpse King might not care about peaceful coexistence between humans and zombies, but considering his doting on Little Qiqi, he would certainly consider her well-being.

He would definitely care about Little Qiqi’s growth issue.

Additionally, with the Corpse King having human consciousness, he likely wouldn’t want Little Qiqi to grow up among zombies.

After all, zombies are basically cruel, bloodthirsty, and lack intelligence.

Living among them provides no benefit for Little Qiqi, and she might even be influenced by them.

"Daddy, I don’t want to be separated from you. I want to stay with you forever."

With a face full of urgency, Ji Ruxue grabbed Lu Chuan’s arm, shook it, and said.

Zhao Lin’s words made sense, but that was for a child. Yet she wasn’t truly a human child.

She had a mature mind, so even living among zombies wouldn’t affect her.

Besides, she felt that staying with her daddy was far better than going to the human world.

She needn’t worry about food or clothing, and she had her daddy’s doting, while back in the human world, who would care for an orphaned child?

Most importantly, in the human world, where words were many, keeping her secret was much harder than it was here at the farm.

So, even if she were foolish, she wouldn’t leave her daddy to go to the human world.

Lu Chuan came back to his senses, gently ruffled Little Qiqi’s hair, and smiled.

Little Qiqi’s attitude comforted Lu Chuan greatly, but he couldn’t deny that Zhao Lin’s concerns were indeed valid.

It’s a realistic issue that he would have to face sooner or later.

No matter what, Little Qiqi was human, not a thoughtless zombie. She would have to return to the human world.

If she stayed in the zombie world forever, it would not benefit the little one’s growth.

Watching Zhao Lin, who sat waiting patiently, Lu Chuan’s gaze shifted, and he wrote again on the paper: "Continue! What else do you have to say?"

What she said was indeed reasonable, but if she couldn’t provide a solution, wouldn’t it just be nonsense?

"Lu Chuan, as I just said, if humans and zombies achieve peaceful coexistence, this issue can naturally be resolved.

By then, Little Qiqi could freely travel between the human and zombie worlds, contact humans, and you wouldn’t have to be separated."

Zhao Lin looked at Little Qiqi with a solemn expression and spoke earnestly.

If the relationship between humans and zombies became harmonious, Little Qiqi wouldn’t be seen as an outcast by humans; she could even become a bridge of communication between the two.

Having someone with a human identity but deep trust with zombies could make future interactions between the two sides smoother.

However, there were two challenges: getting this special Corpse King to agree and having the human side willing as well.

Although difficult, she was willing to try, no matter the obstacles ahead...

Today, her task was to persuade the Corpse King first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin’s eyes were filled with determination.

Hearing Zhao Lin’s words, Lu Chuan felt a bit helpless.

This woman was too naive.

Coexistence?

Is it really that simple?

The conflicts between the two sides are fundamentally irreconcilable.

Just as Zhao Lin said, humans want to reclaim their former homes, and many who lost loved ones to zombies harbor deep hatred.

Additionally, the Crystal Core in the evolved zombies’ brains is a precious resource. How could greedy humans give it up?

Without a top-down, complete ban, it’s impossible!

It’s like hunting wild boars: not only is it legal, but there’s a huge reward for killing one. Guess how many people would join the hunt?

His patience for Zhao Lin was gradually waning.

However, Lu Chuan also wanted to know if she might have an effective solution.

He then wrote on the paper: "Zhao Lin, your idea is good, but how could zombies and humans possibly achieve peaceful coexistence? Even if I don’t provoke humans, they won’t spare me.

As a human yourself, you should understand human nature."

"Lu Chuan, I know it’s difficult, but please believe me. I’ll do everything in my power, even if it costs me my life."

Zhao Lin’s face was serious, and her eyes showed resolve.

Making humans stop hunting zombies is tough because she knew the allure of the Crystal Core to humans.

But she also understood the terror of Lu Chuan, who not only had the power of a Corpse King but also possessed human wisdom. If he grew, he’d become a disaster for mankind, causing countless deaths.

She wanted human-zombie coexistence for Little Qiqi’s sake as well as humanity’s. She didn’t want numerous humans to die at the hands of Lu Chuan, the Corpse King.

Because of her firsthand experience of Lu Chuan’s uniqueness, Zhao Lin realized his dreadful potential.

The evolved zombies under his control were growing too powerful, too fast.

Especially those terrifying zombies suspected to be at the fourth stage, which, even from a distance, exuded an overwhelming and suffocating presence.

"Anyone can make grand statements. Do you have any real solutions for peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans? If you can’t give a reasonable answer, you know the consequences."

Lu Chuan sneered, quickly writing on the paper.

Looking at Lu Chuan’s words, Zhao Lin took a deep breath, seeming to make a significant decision, her demeanor suddenly becoming decisive and resolute, and she slowly said, "If one day, I become the human leader, deciding people’s fate, and extend an invitation, would you be willing to coexist peacefully with humans?"

Zhao Lin’s voice was stable and soft, but to Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, it sounded like an explosive thunder, startling them both.

What a joke!
