Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 317: Chapter 319: Thunder and Lightning! Shanchuan City Base’s Call for Help!

Shanchuan City District.

At this moment, the sun had already set, and the sky had completely darkened.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled from outside the window, the night wind rose abruptly, blowing into the room through the window and lifting the documents in front of Lu Chuan.

Feeling the moisture in the cool breeze, Lu Chuan frowned slightly, placed the documents on the tea table, got up, and walked to the window.

Right at this moment, a clap of thunder resounded from the sky over the Shanchuan City District, illuminating the world.

Rumble, rumble, rumble~

The terrifying sound of thunder continued without pause, lightning flashed amongst the dark clouds above the sky, constantly flickering before the window.

Right after, torrential rain poured down with a rush, countless bean-sized raindrops quickly fell, densely packed.

Screens of rain formed in the field of vision, the trees outside swayed continuously in the fierce wind, the leaves on the branches were knocked off by the battering rain.

“Looks like I’ll have to stay here for a few more days.”

Watching the rain outside, seemingly with no sign of abating, Lu Chuan thought helplessly.

He shook his head, closed the window, and slowly walked back to the sofa.

Zhao Lin, who was eating, heard the commotion outside and put down her chopsticks, quickly walking to the window.

Seeing the rain outside, Zhao Lin was overjoyed.

“Great, now I have time again.”

After finishing her meal, Zhao Lin carried a bag of vegetable leaves down to a garage on the first floor.

Pulling up the rolling shutter door of the garage, Zhao Lin entered with a flashlight.

“Moo~”

Just as Zhao Lin walked in, a beast’s roar came from the garage.

In the corner of the garage, there was a mutated fierce bull hiding.

This mutated fierce beast was a second-tier mutated water buffalo, its entire body as black as ink, its fur slick and sheen like black satin, shoulder height reaching two meters, with strong limbs, it was truly a massive creature.

But despite appearing so colossal, this mutated black bull currently had a bruised nose and swollen face, its pair of horns on its head were broken by some external force.

At this moment, facing Zhao Lin, the large eyes of the mutated black bull were filled with terror, its muscular body trembling, cowering in the corner shakily.

“Da Hei, what are you afraid of? The master is here to bring you food, from now on, you’ll be my mount, understand?”

Zhao Lin looked at the mutated black bull with a friendly smile and said warmly.

As she spoke, Zhao Lin took out the vegetable leaves from the bag and shook them towards the mutated black bull as a hint.

However, it was apparent that the mutated black bull did not appreciate Zhao Lin’s kindness, just cowering there, eyes full of fear.

“Hmm? Come here!”

Seeing Da Hei being so ungracious, Zhao Lin’s smile instantly vanished, she pulled a face and called out in displeasure.

“Moo~”

The mutated black bull trembled instantly, its limbs weak, almost collapsing to the ground, the fear in its eyes nearly tangible, ultimately due to Zhao Lin’s intimidation, it shuffled over trembling, humiliatingly nibbling on the vegetable leaves on the ground.

“That’s more like it! Don’t worry, if you obediently become my mount, the master won’t hit you, I’ll even take care of all the crystal cores!”

Seeing Da Hei finally complying, Zhao Lin nodded in satisfaction, patting Da Hei’s head.

Ever since she saw Little Qiqi riding a mutated giant turtle, spectacularly leading the convoy, Zhao Lin had a strong desire for a mount of her own.

Now, having arrived in the beast-ridden Shanchuan City, Zhao Lin took immediate action to find herself a mount, so she could race with Little Qiqi in the future.

Since there weren’t many fierce beasts suitable for humans to ride, Zhao Lin ultimately selected this second-tier mutated black bull after much consideration.

After subduing the stubborn and aggressive mutated black bull, Zhao Lin locked it in the garage, planning to feed it for a period of time to tame it.

However, possibly due to its previous unruliness and getting beaten a few times, Da Hei now feared Zhao Lin immensely, trembling at times.

This made it somewhat challenging for her to bond with Da Hei, and she estimated that only time could ease Da Hei’s fear of her.

“Come on, eat up! Remember, from now on, you’re my mount.”

Zhao Lin dumped out all the vegetable leaves from the bag.

Watching Da Hei bury its head in frenzied eating, Zhao Lin moved to its side, carefully mounting it.

Instantly, the mutated black bull that was eating lowered its body in a shudder, instinctually wanting to shake off the thing on its back, but at the thought of Zhao Lin’s methods, the bull’s fear instantly suppressed its body’s instincts, abruptly stopping.

“Hehe, not bad, not bad.”

Sitting on Da Hei’s back, Zhao Lin patted its back with a beaming smile, imagining herself riding Da Hei, wielding a steel blade, charging in and out of a horde of zombies…

After a while, Zhao Lin jumped off Da Hei’s back with satisfaction, warning it not to escape its confinement, or else it would face her iron fist.

…

In the meeting room at Shanchuan Base City.

Once the thunderstorm hit, the high-level officials of the base city received the message for a meeting, all putting aside their tasks to gather in the meeting room.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, the high-level officials present were all frowning with somber expressions.

“Everyone, with yet another thunderstorm, it seems the power of Thunderous Roar will increase again!

And this beast is currently advancing towards the base city, once it gets close, the destruction of the base city will be imminent. Does anyone have any solutions, please speak!”

As the leader of the base city, Tian Yi sighed, looking at everyone, he spoke slowly.

In response, the high-level officials present did not speak up immediately, finding this issue extremely challenging.

To deal with the Thunderous Roar, they had sent requests for help to Imperial Capital, but there had been no definitive response, as if, aside from the Corpse King, nothing else could attract Imperial Capital’s attention.

“Chief, with the strength of Thunderous Roar, it’s no longer something our base city can easily handle, not to mention, this beast will grow even stronger after this thunderstorm.

We can’t stop its approach to our base city, the best course of action right now is to evacuate the important personnel from the base city before Thunderous Roar arrives.

They should be relocated to other base cities, and the remaining survivors should be evacuated to the wilderness to minimize casualties to the largest extent…”

One of the high-level officials said dejectedly.

“No, we can’t abandon the base city unless it’s the last resort…”

Tian Yi shook his head.

“Then let’s first seek help from the neighboring base cities. This Thunderous Roar is in Jiang Province, it’s a problem not just facing our Shanchuan Base City, I believe the other neighboring base cities won’t refuse to help.”

At this time, another high-level official spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yi nodded.

“Alright, let’s first request aid from the neighboring base cities, no need to mention evacuation anymore!”
