Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 427 - 438: Blow Up the Bridge! Li River City Becomes a Zombie Kingdom!

Chapter 427: Chapter 438: Blow Up the Bridge! Li River City Becomes a Zombie Kingdom!

Very soon, Zhao Lin returned to the Dragon Province from the Imperial Capital.

At the temporary base of Yu Hua Base City, inside a spacious tent.

“Commander Zhao, are you saying that the Imperial Capital has already assigned the task of destroying the Li River Bridge to you?”

The head of the Base City looked at Zhao Lin with surprise, speaking extremely politely.

He hadn’t expected the Imperial Capital to hold Zhao Lin in such high regard, not only adopting her suggestion but also entrusting the operation to her.

However, upon further thought, he felt it wasn’t surprising since Zhao Lin is a fifth-tier Evolver, and receiving attention from the Imperial Capital seemed justified.

The fact that the Imperial Capital now only has three fifth-tier Evolvers was something the Base City leader only learned after Zhao Lin returned.

After all, he was merely the head of a Base City, and it hadn’t been long since the Imperial Capital produced fifth-tier Evolvers, with the information still relatively confidential, giving them no reason to notify him.

Thus, while he had initially paid great attention to Zhao Lin, the fifth-tier Evolver, he didn’t truly understand the position of fifth-tier Evolvers within the official hierarchy.

But now, through Zhao Lin’s visit to the Imperial Capital, he deeply realized the rarity and difficulty of becoming a fifth-tier Evolver.

“Yes, Head, the Imperial Capital thinks that since I suggested it, I should be the one to handle it.

After all, the task of demolishing the Li River Bridge isn’t particularly challenging.”

Zhao Lin nodded, smiling lightly as she spoke.

Through this visit to the Imperial Capital, Zhao Lin also understood the status of such fifth-tier Evolvers, becoming more confident in her future development within the official system.

“In that case, concerning the matter of demolishing the Li River Bridge, we’ll rely entirely on Commander Zhao. Our Base City will fully cooperate with you.”

The Base City head nodded, speaking solemnly.

Destroying the Li River Bridge would limit the Corpse King, benefiting their Yu Hua Base City as well.

At the very least, Yu Hua Base City wouldn’t have to consider the threat posed by the Corpse King in the near future.

The Base City leader certainly didn’t want to experience another relocation.

“Alright, Head. This matter warrants immediate action; I’ll go prepare and act right away.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin responded, saluted, and quickly exited the tent.

Demolishing the Li River Bridge was a task assigned to Zhao Lin by the Imperial Capital, representing her entry into the Imperial Capital’s sights.

For Zhao Lin, who intends to advance forcefully and continuously develop within official channels, naturally, she must complete this task flawlessly.

The next day.

Buzzing sounds filled the air.

A flight formation composed of eight helicopters quickly flew out from the temporary camp of Yu Hua Base City, heading towards the direction of Li River City.

On the frontmost helicopter, Zhao Lin, dressed in a black combat uniform, picked up the communication device before her, speaking solemnly, “Attention all teams, immediately check the explosives and related equipment!”

“Yes!” ×4

The next moment, responses from team members came through the device.

A few minutes later, reports came from all teams after completing checks.

“Report, Team One has completed checks, equipment is intact, no issues detected.”

“Report, Team Two has completed checks, equipment intact…”

“…”

Seeing that all four teams reported no anomalies, Zhao Lin relaxed and nodded.

Li River Base City is surrounded by water, connecting with the outside world through bridges in four directions.

Thus, to sever Li River City’s connections with the outside, naturally, all four bridges must be demolished, which is why Zhao Lin divided the teams into four groups.

Soon, the helicopter formation approached the bridge near Li River City.

Zhao Lin led Team One, piloting two helicopters to descend.

The remaining Teams Two, Three, and Four each piloted two helicopters towards bridges in the other three directions.

Buzzing sounds continued.

The two helicopters slowly descended not far from the Li River Bridge.

Zhao Lin, along with her subordinates, disembarked from the helicopter, carrying the already assembled explosive equipment.

A minute later, a military officer quickly approached and respectfully asked, “Commander Zhao, the equipment is calibrated, should we proceed now?”

“Go!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin, who was watching the Li River ahead, nodded.

“Yes!”

Soon, Zhao Lin’s Evolvers carried the human-head-sized explosive devices towards the Li River Bridge.

Based on expert advice from the bridge’s plans, they placed the black-painted explosive devices at various locations on the bridge.

This way, once the detonation button is pressed, the explosives placed at various locations on the bridge would explode simultaneously, demolishing the entire Li River Bridge into the river.

Time passed little by little, with all four teams completing the deployment of explosive devices in succession.

To avoid getting caught in the blast, Zhao Lin led Team One back a long distance, then took the communication device from her subordinate, speaking firmly and steadily, “Attention all teams, follow my command! 10, 9… 3, 2, 1, detonate!”

The detonation button was pressed simultaneously in an instant.

Thunderous explosions resonated in Zhao Lin’s ears, the Li River Bridge in front bursting with dazzling flames.

Moments later, after emitting a series of groaning sounds, the overwhelmed Li River Bridge quickly fractured, collapsing towards the river below.

Rumbling noises filled the air!

The initially tumultuous Li River now erupted with towering water columns, the impact astonishing.

However, once the Li River Bridge completely collapsed, only a few varying-sized bridge piers remained on the water’s surface.

“Lu Chuan, next time we meet, I will undoubtedly become a high-ranking member of humanity, making both you and Little Qiqi look at me in a new light!”

Looking at the scene before her, Zhao Lin thought to herself silently.

“Let’s go! Return to the Base City!”

…

The series of explosions and brilliant flashes were, naturally, very conspicuous to Lu Chuan, whose eyes and ears were spread throughout Li River City.

Upon detecting anomalies, Lu Chuan immediately directed the nearest Corpse Puppets towards the source of the commotion.

Soon, he witnessed the bare river surface, realizing the four Li River Bridges had been demolished.

Seeing the retreating helicopters in the distance, Lu Chuan also understood humanity’s intentions.

“It seems humanity has utterly abandoned contending with me, the Corpse King.” Lu Chuan smirked faintly.

However, this was beneficial for both sides; he wasn’t inclined to bother the humans.

Next, he planned to utilize the resources from Li River City, plus the abundant Fierce Fish in the Li River, to rapidly strengthen himself for the imminent alien invasion.
