After Picking Up a Child, I Became the Strongest in the Wilderness

Bai Zang ruled as king in the apocalypse for decades, ultimately sacrificing himself by dragging the zombie horde into a self-destruction to preserve humanity’s last hope.

Thinking he was done for, he opened his eyes to find himself in a savage continent.

Whether it was two-meter-tall man-eating giant lizards, swarms of flesh-eating bees, or venomous blood snakes—none seemed as terrifying as zombies to Bai Zang.

At worst, he could just die, without worrying about infecting others.

With no will to survive, Bai Zang planned to live day by day, until a few days later he picked up a weak little falcon with broken wings.

Seeing the little falcon clinging to him as its lifeline, refusing to leave his palm, Bai Zang decided to keep living—at least until the little one could return to the skies and survive on its own.

As for ending up becoming the strongest human in the savage lands, Bai Zang claims innocence and a headache—all because his kid kept picking fights everywhere and dropping his name!

The little falcon curls up obediently in his adoptive father’s hand: I don’t know anything!

…

Yun Zhi has a stern, unsmiling human adoptive father. The man crafts wings for him for different purposes and teaches him how to conjure flames and fighting techniques.

But his adoptive father is also a two-faced madman who spends his days planning how to die in the most epic way—picking out his own burial site one moment, then building a three-story house the next, just so Yun Zhi won’t get soaked by the rain again.

Bai Zang’s most frequent words are telling Yun Zhi to visit his grave often after he dies, so he’ll know Yun Zhi can live well without him.

Yun Zhi just cuddles a bird egg on his adoptive father’s lap, claiming he’s just a little bird who doesn’t understand such things.

Bai Zang falls silent, thinking to himself: As if it wasn’t you last night who pinned me down and insisted on riding me yourself.
