Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 404 - 416: Thunderous Roar Crosses the Li River!
Chapter 404: Chapter 416: Thunderous Roar Crosses the Li River!
And so, driven by Zhao Lin’s efforts, Thunderous Roar raced forward at incredible speed along the path charted by the Evolution Team.
Whether it was Thunderous Roar, Zhao Lin, or the Evolvers following behind, all were gradually closing in on their destination, the Li River Base City.
Out in the wilderness.
“Roar!”
The ground trembled as Thunderous Roar, in a frenzy, shot out dozens of bolts of lightning, targeting Zhao Lin ahead.
Zhao Lin, moving with a ghost-like grace, appeared hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, dodging the lightning’s strike.
Boom, boom, boom—
The terrifying power of each lightning bolt crashed down, only to explode into craters in the dirt.
Seeing this, Thunderous Roar let out an unwilling roar, its eyes blazing red, as it continued to pursue Zhao Lin.
Despite its desire to devour and crush the annoying ant ahead, the newly ascended Tier 5 Zhao Lin was significantly faster.
No matter how Thunderous Roar attacked, it couldn’t touch Zhao Lin in the slightest.
From the convoy behind, Yuan Yi and others watching the video could only smile.
Seeing Zhao Lin so effortlessly leading Thunderous Roar, they completely relaxed.
From here on, they might not have to do anything but wait for Zhao Lin to guide Thunderous Roar to the Li River Base City, accomplishing their task.
“Commander Zhao’s breakthrough is truly extraordinary! This is like playing with Thunderous Roar. If I were that beast, I’d die of frustration.”
An Evolver said with a laugh, relieved that with Commander Zhao’s immense power, they no longer needed to risk their lives pointlessly.
Though everyone had put life and death aside before coming, that was only if there was hope of completing the mission.
They had no desire to die if it was meaningless, without anything to show for it.
“Commander Zhao’s strength is likely already at Tier 5! Otherwise, he couldn’t so easily handle a beast like Thunderous Roar.”
Yuan Yi nodded, watching Zhao Lin on the screen, and sighed.
The current Commander Zhao and the one from before seemed like two different people. Besides a breakthrough, he couldn’t think of anything that could lead to such a significant change in strength.
“By the way, Captain Yuan, how much longer do we need, at our current speed, to reach the Li River Base City?”
Just then, Zhang Honggang, watching the video footage, seemingly remembered something and turned to look at Yuan Yi.
“If we keep moving at the planned speed, we should reach Li River City in about three days.” Hearing this, Yuan Yi glanced at the relevant instruments beside him, looked at everyone, and said.
“Three days, huh? I wonder if Commander Zhao can hold out that long!”
Someone said worriedly.
“Rest assured, Tier 5 Evolvers aren’t just for show. Trust Commander Zhao…”
Yuan Yi smiled and said.
Thus, time passed by bit by bit, and Thunderous Roar drew ever closer to the Li River Base City.
During this period, Lu Chuan, waiting for Thunderous Roar, never paused his hunting of the mutated ferocious fish.
After all, if they wanted to promote another Tier 5 Corpse Puppet before then, the food supply for the zombie breeding ground couldn’t afford any shortfall.
Indeed, in recent days, Lu Chuan had fed the zombies in the breeding ground well, leading to several evolved zombies advancing in rank.
On the banks of the Li River.
Roar—
Fire serpents fell like rain, constantly exploding into seas of fire, while black scale armor, like cold-light glinting metal darts, shot down from the sky.
Hiss—
Haunting cries echoed along the banks of the Li River.
On the shore, many mutated ferocious fish lured to land either turned into grilled fish by the flames or were instantly bloodied by the black scale armor, their bodies struggling briefly before falling still.
Some mutated ferocious fish attempting to escape were rammed back ashore by the mutated giant turtle lurking just beneath the surface, now several sizes larger.
With the mutated giant turtle securing them, those ferocious fish attempting to flee were inevitably corralled and swiftly dispatched by Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets surging ashore without requiring Ji Ruxue’s intervention.
After the hunt, Lu Chuan took Little Qiqi on a small transport convoy and returned to the Base City.
Zombie Breeding Ground.
Boom, boom, boom—
As each mutated fierce fish carcass was thrown in, the zombies within went into a frenzy, roaring continuously as they scrambled for the bloody meat.
Watching the zombie horde, where eight Tier 3 evolved zombies had already appeared, Lu Chuan smiled from the top of the wall.
“Great, it seems in a few days we can proceed with another round of harvesting.”
…
Meanwhile, two days had passed since Zhao Lin’s successful resurrection.
Roar—
The thunderous roar of Thunderous Roar’s pursuit was still deafening, while in front, Zhao Lin heard waves crashing.
Looking at the wide surface of the Li River, Zhao Lin, exhausted from the long chase, brightened with hope.
Finally, they arrived.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Lin dashed across the Li River Bridge not far away and reached the opposite shore of the Li River.
This was because the Li River Base City was on the other side of the river. Only by getting Thunderous Roar to cross the Li River could it be successfully lured to the Base City.
Unexpectedly, just after crossing the Li River Bridge, Zhao Lin stopped with surprise, puzzled by Thunderous Roar, hesitating on the other side.
“Roar—”
Thunderous Roar stood on the other side of the Li River Bridge, eyeing the bridge ahead and the water below with hesitance, roaring but daring not take another step forward.
“What’s going on? Could this big guy be afraid of water?”
Zhao Lin frowned, pondering to himself.
The convoy behind, upon realizing this, instantly halted to avoid a possible collision with Thunderous Roar standing at the bridge’s edge.
“Thunderous Roar seems to fear water and won’t cross the bridge! What should we do?”
Zhang Honggang, watching the unrelenting Thunderous Roar on the video, frowned and said.
If Thunderous Roar didn’t cross the bridge, all their previous efforts would have been for naught.
Bears could swim, so this hesitation due to water was something they hadn’t anticipated from Thunderous Roar.
“For now, we can only rely on Commander Zhao to see if he can draw it across!”
Yuan Yi shook his head helplessly, putting all their hopes in Zhao Lin.
Given his prior death, Zhao Lin’s communication device had long been destroyed, meaning they had no way of reaching him now.
