Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 373 - 385: Zombie Breeding Program Relaunched!

Chapter 373: Chapter 385: Zombie Breeding Program Relaunched!

Time flies, and three days have passed.

During these three days, Lu Chuan was extremely busy renovating the Base City, tirelessly managing his Corpse Puppets for a grand overhaul.

After all, Lu Chuan intended to develop the Li River Base City as his stronghold, likely for quite a long time without abandoning it.

Such an extensive territory can’t be organized without spending some time.

At this moment, a large number of Corpse Puppets are busy on the walls of the Base City, using the original building materials from inside the city. Lu Chuan is directing his Corpse Puppets to heighten the original city walls.

In the future, the city walls will increase from three zhang to six zhang in height, and the width will expand from the original two zhang to three zhang, becoming taller and wider.

On the high city walls, there will be squads of zombies patrolling back and forth with rifles, keeping watch over any unexpected guests appearing in view from outside the city, who will be unable to escape the zombie guards’ surveillance.

Inside the city, because the original inhabitants are gone, it feels extremely quiet, with no more noise and chaos.

At the moment, on the neat streets, apart from the footsteps of zombie squads patrolling back and forth, everything is silent.

At the southeastern location of the Base City, there lies a piece of farmland originally cultivated by the Li River Base City officials, growing various crops.

However, most of the fields are planted with grain crops to fill the stomachs of survivors in the Base City.

Only a small portion of the fields contain sparse vegetables and a few fruit trees, meant to satisfy the dietary needs of some higher-ups.

Now, batches of zombies are wielding farm tools to harvest some grain crops from the fields, converting them into vegetable fields…

Having this land means Little Qiqi’s food and drink won’t be a worry anymore, as there will be plenty of vegetables and fruits to consume.

At noon, in the Inner City.

In a villa surrounded by a dozen others.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ji Ruxue concentrates with closed eyes, operating her Cultivation Technique to absorb the Energy Factors from all directions.

The Energy Factors floating around seem to receive a summons at the same time, rushing into Ji Ruxue’s body frantically.

With Ji Ruxue’s Cultivation Technique in motion, these continuously flowing energies are swiftly refined into Spiritual Essence, aggregating into the slowly rotating Spirit Pill inside her.

A moment later, Ji Ruxue halts her cultivation and slowly opens her eyes.

“After reaching the fifth tier, relying solely on absorbing external energy has slowed down my cultivation pace somewhat!”

Noting the changes in her cultivation level, Ji Ruxue shakes her head helplessly.

If she had corresponding Genetic Evolution Potions, her cultivation speed would likely increase significantly.

However, given the current conditions, acquiring high-grade Genetic Evolution Potions is almost impossible, forcing Ji Ruxue to set aside this thought.

Looking at the time and realizing it’s lunchtime, Ji Ruxue quickly gets up from the bed and heads downstairs.

“Dad, have you already prepared the meal?”

Finding her father absent, presumably out on some business, Ji Ruxue’s gaze lands on the dining table.

She sees that prepared dishes are set on the table.

Ji Ruxue walks over to the table, takes a seat, and her eyes light up at the sight of the two dishes.

Celery and beef stir-fry, and green vegetable meatball soup!

Her appetite is immediately stimulated, and she starts eating eagerly.

Swiftly finishing the soup in her bowl, Ji Ruxue feels full and rests a while, realizing her father has likely gone out.

Then, Ji Ruxue leaves the villa, enveloped in Telekinesis, soaring into the sky.

“This is the kind of scene a Corpse King should have!”

Looking down at everything below, her eyes fall upon the batches of zombies armed and patrolling, and the distant lush green vibrant fields, causing Ji Ruxue to lift her lips slightly, filled with pride.

A clean, tidy residence and more vegetables and fruits than one can eat—this kind of life is much more comfortable than living exposed to the elements every day.

If possible, Ji Ruxue wishes to live like this indefinitely.

However, she knows that the chance of a stable life for her and her dad is slim.

The status of Li River Base City essentially continues from that of Li River City, and a province can only have a few cities like Li River Base City.

Therefore, Li River Base City is crucial to the official authorities, or rather, any Base City is deemed important by the authorities.

Currently, the Li River Base City has fallen, and human officials are unlikely to let this go.

After all, her dad has breached the Li River Base City head-on and has settled there, an act almost amounting to declaring war on humans directly.

“I imagine it won’t be long before the official army returns…”

Considering this, Ji Ruxue’s expression slightly tightens, feeling a surge of urgency.

It seems she must accelerate her cultivation speed, so when the official army arrives, she can assist her dad.

Only with formidable strength can they make human officials fearful and unwilling to fight to the end with them.

At this instant, standing on the city wall, Lu Chuan shares the same thoughts as Ji Ruxue.

Observing the numerous zombies in the city, Lu Chuan’s gaze shifts slightly; his desire for strength enhancement is no less than Ji Ruxue’s.

Now dominating the territory without needing to wander, the zombie breeding plan must be reactivated.

In this way, Crystal Cores can be continuously produced, and with an abundance of Crystal Cores, he can gradually generate high-tier Corpse Puppets in batches.

With high-tier Corpse Puppets, he can obtain high-tier Crystal Cores, allowing him not only to use them to fuel his own evolution needs but also to help those fourth-tier Corpse Puppets under him advance to the fifth tier.

As for supplying zombies with the meat source needed for evolution…

Lu Chuan’s gaze naturally turns to the expansive Li River outside the city.

Since birds and beasts can mutate, aquatic creatures surely can too.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but recall the Black-Scaled Python they encountered when first entering Li River City, a significant creature within the Li River.

A fourth-tier Fierce Beast Giant Python requires a vast amount of food each day for survival.

Li River capable of nurturing this fourth-tier Giant Python indicates a sizable number of low-tier Mutated Fierce Beasts in the water.

The mutated fierce beasts in the Li River are exactly where Lu Chuan plans to source meat for zombie breeding, not only providing meat but also yielding numerous Crystal Cores.

Similar to Yellow Dragon Mountain previously, in the future, the Li River will become Lu Chuan’s hunting ground.

Of course, compared to Yellow Dragon Mountain, hunting fierce beasts in water poses much more difficulty.

Nevertheless, Lu Chuan presently has no other choice, as survival depends on natural resources available—mountains for mountain produce, and water for aquatic resources.

Around Li River Base City, there aren’t any large mountains, so to procure ample fierce beast meat, solutions must be sought in the Li River itself.
