Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 366: Chapter 378: The Frenzied Counterattack of Li River Base City!

“What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail, where is the Zombie King now?”

After a brief moment of adaptation, the Base City Leader finally calmed down a bit, his face stern, though there was immense anxiety in his heart, he still tried to ask in a composed tone.

The officer seemed to be influenced by the Base City Leader’s emotions, and his inner panic decreased considerably. Nodding, he said, “Yes sir! According to information from the Evolutionary Squad, the Zombie King is on the way to Li River Base City.”

“Calculating based on the march speed of the convoy and the Corpse Tide, it will be roughly half a day before they reach the Base City!”

“What? Corpse Tide? The Zombie King has stirred up a Corpse Tide!”

Upon hearing about the Corpse Tide, the Base City Leader could no longer maintain composure, staring at the officer in shock, eyes wide open.

Dammit, how did it come to this!

Once the Zombie King starts a Corpse Tide, even though their Li River Base City is better armed than other base cities, it’s still hard to withstand.

Their Li River Base City is completely incomparable to the Imperial Capital, which can resist the Zombie King; that doesn’t mean they can hold up in Li River Base City.

At the same time, the Base City Leader fully understood why there was no news from the Soaring Dragon Squad by now.

It’s likely the Soaring Dragon Squad has already been defeated by the Zombie King, perhaps completely annihilated.

But it is evident that the Soaring Dragon Squad thoroughly angered the Zombie King, causing the enemy to choose Li River Base City as a target for revenge.

For a moment, the Base City Leader wished to curse the Soaring Dragon Squad.

He originally thought the Soaring Dragon Squad was formidable, yet now they are nowhere to be found, drawing danger to Li River Base City!

“Correct, judging by the scale, it should be considered a small Corpse Tide, roughly estimating around thirty to forty thousand zombies.”

The officer replied with a serious expression, nodding.

“Phew~”

Hearing this, the Base City Leader felt a slight relief, letting out a long sigh.

Thankfully, it’s not a large-scale Corpse Tide, otherwise, Li River Base City would have no choice but to evacuate.

Still, a small Corpse Tide is no joke; with any carelessness, Li River Base City can still face the possibility of destruction!

The Base City Leader looked at the officer with a solemn expression, commanding, “Quick! Immediately issue an alert to the entire Base City, the city enters emergency status!”

“Yes!”

The officer’s heart tightened; he saluted and quickly ran outside.

Wooo wooo wooo~

Moments later, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Base City.

Survivors inside the Base City, upon hearing the sound, turned pale and rushed home in a panic.

Patrol teams began sealing off streets, enforcing martial law, and suppressing those who attempted to take advantage of the chaos, until all survivors were driven back home.

Simultaneously, in the Inner City’s meeting room, the Base City Leader was convening a emergency meeting with the high-level officials of the Base City.

“Dammit, is this how the Soaring Dragon Squad operates? Didn’t the Imperial Capital repeatedly claim they killed the Zombie King? So why did they fail here in Li River City?”

“Ugh, it’s one thing not defeating the Zombie King, but the worst part is, they angered the Zombie King, leaving Li River Base City to bear the brunt of the Zombie King’s wrath!”

“Thirty to forty thousand zombies, with a significant number being Evolved Zombies; what’s even worse is the Zombie King commands fifth-tier zombies, how can we possibly fight them?”

“No, it’s a Corpse Tide! What can our Base City use to block it? If we had known, we wouldn’t have tried to confront the Zombie King, better to just let him go when he was leaving…”

“…”

The Base City’s high-level officials burst into discussion upon hearing the Base City Leader’s account.

Their expressions turned ugly, and many expressed dissatisfaction with the Soaring Dragon Squad.

After all, the Soaring Dragon Squad ultimately came from the Imperial Capital, slaying the Zombie King would have credited them, not their Li River Base City.

But despite this, they provided courteous treatment, considering the mission to eliminate the Zombie King, if they managed to kill it, they wouldn’t worry about the Zombie King making a return attack.

However, ultimately being unable to kill the Zombie King is one thing, but drawing disaster to Li River Base City is another!

Even if the Soaring Dragon Squad didn’t intend it, the reality stands; the Base City’s officials have none other than the Soaring Dragon Squad to blame.

Bang!

“Alright! Everyone quiet down!”

The Base City Leader, with a grim face, slammed the table, exclaiming.

Instantly, the entire meeting room fell silent.

“With the Zombie King bringing the Corpse Tide now, discussing these pointless matters doesn’t help. Our most crucial task is to hold off the Zombie King and safeguard the Base City!”

The Base City Leader scanned the room, his expression serious, stating sternly.

With his words, the Base City Leader abruptly stood and issued a command loudly, “Now, all main forces of the Base, and all Evolution Teams, mobilize fully, sparing no effort or cost to block the Zombie King from approaching our Base City!”

“Yes!”

All the high-level officials stood up and answered loudly.

Consequently, the meeting was adjourned, and the officials hastily departed to busy themselves with mobilizing the Base City’s armed forces.

Rumble~

Armored vehicles, tanks, and other heavy equipment slowly rolled out from the military base, filling the main avenues of the entire Base City, forming a green dragon-like line.

From the houses along the streets, many survivors watched through door cracks and windows, nervously observing the outside, without daring to make a sound.

Simultaneously, groups of soldiers, under the command of their officers, swiftly assembled on open grounds in the military base, forming numerous formations.

Soon, the soldiers began boarding green military trucks, rushing out of the military camp.

Nearby, on a simple airport, helicopters armed with ammunition pods started up, rotors swiftly spinning, producing a piercing buzzing sound.

Evolutionary Squads standing nearby donned all sorts of equipment, each taking their roles, charging onto the helicopters.

Soon, with the Base City Leader’s command, the troops set out.

Rumble~

The entire Base City felt slight tremors and continuous rumbling.

The green dragon occupying the Base City unfurled and began moving toward outside the city.

Armored vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery silently passed through the gates, exiting the Base City, while troop-laden military vehicles closely followed behind, forming a seemingly endless convoy.

At the same time, helicopters rapidly took off, soaring over the city walls and convoy, flying into the distance, tasked with scouting the situation ahead.
