Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 394 - 406: This Time, We Will Not Back Down!

Chapter 394: Chapter 406: This Time, We Will Not Back Down!

Hearing this, Zhao Lin slowed down from her hearty gulp, swallowed the food in her mouth, and with a smile, said to Ji Ruxue, “Thank you Little Qiqi for your concern. Auntie has been doing fairly well lately, though the food here isn’t as good as what your father makes.”

Back in Yu Hua City District, the Yu Hua Gang was essentially a makeshift group, eating whatever was available.

Food was becoming scarce, and there was no talk of flavor. Being able to fill the stomach was already a blessing.

Although she was the Gang Leader, all she got was a bit more food.

However, upon arriving at Yu Hua Base City, there was no longer any worry about food supply. The Base City had a fixed food supply, and being able to eat rice was good enough, nothing as lavish as what Lu Chuan had here.

Hearing Zhao Lin praise her father’s culinary skills, a hint of pride flashed in Ji Ruxue’s eyes, then she looked at Zhao Lin, blinking innocently, and said, “Mrs. Zhao Lin, since you like my dad’s cooking so much, why don’t you just stay and keep Qiqi company!”

“Uh~ Little Qiqi, Auntie has her own things to do and can’t stay with you,”

Zhao Lin, preparing to pick up her chopsticks again, said awkwardly upon hearing this.

Little Qiqi wanting her to stay represented attachment and trust; Zhao Lin was naturally pleased.

But just as she had prior reasons to leave, she must pursue her dreams and aspirations, not wanting to be a freeloader in Lu Chuan’s group.

Therefore, despite some inner conflict, Zhao Lin still declined Little Qiqi’s offer.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue nodded disappointingly, “Alright then, Mrs. Zhao Lin, you eat well, it’s been so hard for you to come back…”

In response, Zhao Lin hesitated, ultimately said nothing, and concentrated on her meal.

After the meal.

After eating until full, Zhao Lin rubbed her round stomach, revealing a satisfied expression.

More than half the dishes had entered her belly, and if one didn’t know better, they’d think she was pregnant.

“Zhao Lin, what about your important information?”

At this moment, seeing the right timing, Lu Chuan slowly walked over and wrote it on a paper.

He was very curious about the crucial intelligence Zhao Lin spoke of; a meal shouldn’t be received for nothing.

It concerns the life and death of him and Little Qiqi; clearly, the information Zhao Lin brought back is extraordinary.

Across from him, Ji Ruxue was also watching Zhao Lin closely, wanting to know what news she brought back.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin’s expression turned serious, the aura of a food lover vanished.

“Lu Chuan, do you know, your conquest of Li River Base City is like poking a beehive; the whole Jiang Province Base City is on edge.”

This is already the second Base City to be breached in Jiang Province; no other Base City can tolerate it anymore,”

Zhao Lin said heavily.

This time, as she sees it, Lu Chuan is already at the pinnacle of controversy; if the other Base Cities succeed in their schemes, Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi might be in danger.

Lu Chuan understood inwardly, so the human official side is indeed going to act against him now.

But with his current strength, even if these Base Cities joined forces, they couldn’t defeat him.

Ji Ruxue frowned, aware that her dad’s forceful occupation of Li River Base City indeed angered the human official side.

Previously, she felt that the humans’ reaction was off, turns out they were secretly linking up, likely frightened by her dad’s power.

“Zhao Lin, are all the Base Cities planning to take action against me? What’s their plan?”

Lu Chuan wrote on the paper.

Since Zhao Lin came over intentionally, she probably knows the general plan of the human Base Cities.

“Indeed, but this time, the Base Cities aren’t taking direct action; they decided to use a proxy.”

They plan to lure the Fierce Beast Thunderous Roar to us, hoping it will help eliminate you,”

Zhao Lin nodded, her face extremely solemn, and said earnestly.

Zhao Lin naturally understands Thunderous Roar’s terribleness; if it’s truly lured there, Lu Chuan might find it challenging.

At the mention of “Thunderous Roar!”, Ji Ruxue’s complexion changed.

In her previous life, its reputation was remarkably renowned.

She naturally knows its potential, just didn’t expect to encounter it so soon.

Lu Chuan frowned; didn’t expect the human officials this time wouldn’t choose to directly confront, but rather hope a beast could defeat him.

“Lu Chuan, I think you should take Little Qiqi and temporarily leave here to ride out the storm.”

Only by fleeing into the wild, these human Base Cities will surely find it hard to find you, thus not worrying about them leading Thunderous Roar over.”

Zhao Lin, worried at heart, uttered these words of persuasion.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan shook his head, showing a determined look, quickly writing on the note, “Fight then fight, this time, I won’t back down!”

He had already won more than once in clashes with humans; but subsequently, he kept fleeing, tired of this pattern.

Previously, it was understandable as his strength was inferior.

But now, under his command, not just the Zombie Army but also five fifth-level Corpse Puppets are stationed; if they clash with humans and Thunderous Roar once more, perhaps by then, the ones needing to escape won’t be Lu Chuan himself.

“Lu Chuan, don’t act impulsively! Though your strength is decent, uniting all the Base Cities in Jiang Province is a mammoth task; Thunderous Roar isn’t easy either. Engaging with them is extremely risky.”

Even if you don’t consider yourself, think about Little Qiqi…”

Shocked by Lu Chuan’s intention to confront head-on, Zhao Lin hurriedly continued to persuade him, trying to sway Lu Chuan with Ji Ruxue.

This Lu Chuan seems a bit stubborn, not realizing the importance of preserving the mountains instead of running out of firewood.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ji Ruxue as the concerned party stood by her dad’s side, clenching her little fists and said in solidarity, “Mrs. Zhao Lin, I also agree with Dad; we can’t retreat this time!”

Finally having established a new home, running away in defeat again, what’s the point?

Ji Ruxue doesn’t want to return to the previously turbulent days, that life is nowhere near as enjoyable as now.

Little Qiqi’s words caused Zhao Lin to pause and look over with some confusion.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue looked towards her dad, patted her chest, and solemnly said, “Dad, rest assured, Little Qiqi will protect you, definitely won’t let those bad people harm you!”

Seeing such a lovely Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan smiled contentedly, feeling warm inside. He then nodded, tenderly wrote on the paper, “Alright, Dad listens to Little Qiqi.”
