Her jaw dropped. "Uncle…?"
He nodded. "Yes. Uncle. I… your uncle." He repeated it several times, almost like a chant.
For a moment, Su Jiyai was speechless, and an urge to laugh rose in her mind.
How ridiculous was the scene? A zombie king asking a human girl to call him uncle.
For some reason... she suddenly felt that Kane... was kind of cute.
If he insists like this… then he must have really known my mother.
Her eyes softened. "Uncle Kane… do you want to stay in the base with me?"
Kane paused. He turned and looked at the walls of the base. His lips pressed together. Then he shook his head. "World… different."
Su Jiyai understood instantly. He knew he was no longer human. He knew the zombie and human world had split apart.
She stepped closer, her voice was laced with gentleness.
"Even if the worlds are different, I will stay by your side. I'm working on an antidote. Once I succeed, I will cure you completely. So if you want, you can come in and stay with me."
