Chapter 390: Chapter 402: Zhao Lin Comes to Deliver a Message
Rumble～
The sound of vehicles speeding on the road could be heard, coming from afar and drawing near.
Soon, two military jeeps arrived near the Li River Bridge.
In the first vehicle, Zhao Lin, sitting in the passenger seat, saw the Li River Bridge. With plans already in mind, she said calmly, “The Thunderous Roar is in Shanchuan City. Once we’ve crossed the city of Li River, we’ll almost be there. Stop here first; I have matters to attend to!”
Hearing this, although the driver was puzzled, he still hit the brakes.
The vehicle behind saw the jeep in front stop and quickly slowed down, coming to a halt as well.
“Commander Zhao, why are we stopping in the city of Li River? Right now, isn’t our most important task to rush to Shanchuan City and join with others from the Base Cities?”
A third-rank Evolver in the back seat asked a bit confusedly.
The driver and the other Evolvers also looked over, puzzled.
After all, the Thunderous Roar is in Shanchuan City, not the city of Li River. They’ve just reached the city of Li River, which is still quite some distance from Shanchuan City.
Could Commander Zhao feel the risk is too great and had a last-minute change of plans?
Thinking of this, their expressions shifted, and their minds began to speculate.
“Originally, I was from Jianghai City. After a long journey, I reached our Yu Hua City, and during the process, I made a friend in the city of Li River.
I plan to check on how she’s been doing lately, so I need a day.
Just one day, haha, you won’t mind, right?”
Zhao Lin looked around at everyone, smiling as she spoke.
This was naturally her excuse. She intended to take this opportunity to run off and tip off Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi.
The news of the Corpse King lingering in the Li River Base City had inevitably spread. Zhao Lin, as one of the high-level leaders of the Yu Hua Base City, naturally knew about this.
So next, after shaking off these people, she would head straight to Li River Base City.
Hearing this, the puzzled people furrowed their brows. It was truly absurd that such an important mission would…
While they were naturally dissatisfied with Zhao Lin’s actions, sensing Zhao Lin’s gaze, no one dared to voice any objections.
After all, Zhao Lin’s strength and status were evident. It was entirely different from these third-rank members, and this mission was led by Zhao Lin, leaving them no room to interfere.
“Commander Zhao, feel free to go! We’ll wait here for you.”
“Yes! Commander Zhao’s concern for her friend is something we won’t object to. Not just a day, even two or three days, we can wait.”
“Haha, it’s just a day for Commander Zhao…”
“…”
They all beamed, putting on a facade of not being bothered at all.
“Since you have no objections, let’s set up camp here first! We’ll depart once I return!”
Zhao Lin was very satisfied with everyone’s response. Her usually cold face showed a faint smile. She nodded as she spoke.
This is what strength is!
If her cultivation had been only third-rank today, even with the title of leader, these people wouldn’t have refrained from grumbling a few words.
Next, everyone got out of the vehicle. The others began setting up camp, while Zhao Lin went to the city of Li River alone, disappearing from everyone’s view.
Once in the city, Zhao Lin did not immediately proceed toward Li River Base City. Instead, she hid on the city’s outskirts, secretly monitoring those setting up camp.
After a good ten minutes, ensuring no one was following her, Zhao Lin swiftly turned around and sprinted toward Li River Base City.
Inside Li River Base City.
Rumble～
Loaded military trucks, filled with Mutated Ferocious Fish, slowly passed through the city gate, heading toward the zombie cultivation base.
Chhh～
Soon, the feeding convoy stopped outside the zombie cultivation base.
Under Lu Chuan’s control, rows of zombies began unloading the Mutated Ferocious Fish from the truck beds, carrying them to the top of the walls and quickly throwing them down.
Roar, roar～
As the blood-scented Mutated Ferocious Fish fell, the zombies who smelled this delicious fragrance became agitated instantly.
One by one, zombies, like starving ghosts, rushed toward the piles of Mutated Ferocious Fish, opening their stinky mouths, constantly biting into the fresh fish meat and swallowing it.
Noticing many first-rank Evolved Zombies showing signs of advancing to the second rank, the corners of Lu Chuan’s mouth lifted slightly, very satisfied. In his mind, visions of harvesting Crystal Cores and cultivating the sixth fifth-rank Corpse Puppet started to form.
After the last harvest, the second and third-rank Evolved Zombies in the cultivation base had been completely depleted, reducing the originally dense corpse group by a tenth.
Lu Chuan wouldn’t just watch the number of zombies inside decrease without doing anything. After advancing Flame Two, he specially replenished a lot of ordinary zombies inside.
These ordinary zombies would take time to advance to the second and third ranks, which couldn’t be completed in a short time.
So for the next promotion to a fifth-rank Corpse Puppet, Lu Chuan might still need these first-rank Evolved Zombies as the prime resource.
On the other side, after helping father hunt the Mutated Ferocious Fish, Ji Ruxue returned to the villa’s bedroom alone.
Not long later, the energy consumed while fishing was replenished, and then Ji Ruxue climbed onto the bed, sitting cross-legged, earnestly cultivating.
As Ji Ruxue turned the cultivation technique, the surrounding Energy Factors began to quickly converge toward her.
Immediately, a faint glassy Spiritual Light appeared around Ji Ruxue, emitting a terrifying, awe-inspiring aura.
Meanwhile, two kilometers away from Li River Base City, a valiant and spirited figure stood on a mound.
“Little Qiqi, Auntie’s here to see you!”
“I wonder if the little one missed me. She probably did, right? After all, that Lu Chuan guy isn’t very chatty, and Little Qiqi would be bored to death alone.”
Looking at the distant Li River Base City, Zhao Lin thought with a smile, full of anticipation.
It had been many days since she last saw Little Qiqi.
Ahead, the towering six-zhang high walls, impenetrable as a mountain of steel, encircled the entire Li River Base City, not a crack in sight.
On the top of the walls, rows of zombies with rifles paced back and forth.
Outside the city, too, large groups of zombies gathered. These ordinary zombies didn’t have rifles, and their combat strength was no different from those ordinary zombies.
However, these zombies surrounded the walls layer by layer. For some ordinary Evolvers, passing through the zombie horde to reach the city gate was indeed a challenge.
Of course, Zhao Lin didn’t care about this at all.
After all, these zombies were under Lu Chuan’s command; they were all family, so they probably wouldn’t attack her!
