Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 368: Chapter 380: After Today, Li River Base City Will Cease to Exist

Lu Chuan did not control the Corpse Tide to pursue, as the Corpse Tide’s speed was clearly slower than the vehicles of the human troops.

Moreover, though a monk can flee, the temple cannot. Li River Base City is just ahead; once the Base City is breached, these guys won’t escape even if they sprout wings.

Immediately after, Lu Chuan controlled the Corpse Tide to continue advancing along the road toward Li River Base City.

The convoy at the rear began to start slowly, following the Corpse Tide at a steady pace.

At this moment, the retreating troops composed of numerous tanks and military vehicles were traveling as fast as possible towards Li River Base City at the rear.

In the command vehicle, senior commanders were using short-distance communication equipment to report the situation to the Base City, “Report to the command! Report to the command!

The interception plan has failed, our unit has disengaged from the Corpse Tide and is retreating. We will reach the Base City in about twenty minutes!

Please make preparations in the Base City to welcome the troops into the city! Over!”

Li River Base City.

The Base City’s communication department received the message and immediately reported the situation.

In the conference room, at this moment, a group of senior officials sat silently, anxiously awaiting.

Whether they can successfully intercept this time concerns the safety of their Base City!

Naturally, everyone hopes for a good outcome, but just thinking about the Zombie King’s might and the fearsome Corpse Tide can’t help but make them worry.

Thud, thud, thud~

An officer from the complex communications department hurriedly walked in.

“Chiefs, bad news! The interception plan has failed, the troops are retreating, let the Base City prepare for reception!”

The officer forced himself to stay calm, looked at the gathered senior officials, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

“What!”

Although everyone present had considered this possibility, now that it has happened, they couldn’t help but show shock on their faces.

After a brief shock, waves of fear welled up inside.

The dispatched interception troops are virtually all the forces that Li River Base City can mobilize; if even they can’t stop the Zombie King, then Li River Base City is unlikely to withstand the Corpse Tide’s impact.

“It’s all over now; the interception troops couldn’t stop them. What should we do now? We can’t just sit here waiting to die, can we?”

A high-ranking official, filled with disbelief, quickly looked around at everyone present and said with great anxiety.

“Alas, who could have thought the Zombie King’s power was so terrifying that even the Soaring Dragon Squad, which has slain Zombie Kings before, is no match.

Had we known, our Base City shouldn’t have reported the Zombie King to the Imperial Capital, just let it leave.

That way, the Imperial Capital wouldn’t have sent the Soaring Dragon Squad over, which ended up angering the Zombie King, making our Base City a target for retaliation!”

Another senior official regretfully shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the group of senior officials’ faces changed slightly; indeed, they regretted it deeply. But sadly, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

“The Corpse Tide under the Zombie King’s command should now be following the troops; it’s a matter of time before it arrives. We don’t have much time left! Chief, what should we do now?”

A high-ranking official asked with a grave expression, looking at the Base City chief who hadn’t spoken yet.

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze unanimously towards the Base City chief, waiting for him to make a decision.

With a solemn expression, the Base City chief slightly raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said solemnly, “The interception plan has failed, and it’s clear we’re hardly able to fend off the Corpse Tide.

The next step is to receive the retreating troops back into the city, rely on the sturdy outer city walls, launch a blockade against the Corpse Tide, and buy time for the evacuation.”

Immediately, after arranging the reception and troop defense tasks with the high-ranking officials, they began discussing evacuation matters.

The Base City is on the brink of falling, but there are too many survivors living in the Base City; evacuating everyone is simply unrealistic.

They need to make necessary choices; aside from a few important figures, the others can only be reluctantly abandoned.

As time passed, the Corpse Tide had arrived outside the high walls of Li River Base City.

The troops that had already retreated to the city were relying on the high walls, ready for deployment, waiting for the Corpse Tide’s arrival.

On that high wall, a large number of soldiers were stationed, holding long guns aimed at the constantly approaching zombie flood.

Simultaneously, on every section of the wall, a heavy machine gun was deployed, equipped with long ammunition chains, its cold muzzle aimed downward.

Rumble rumble~

Utilizing the Corpse Puppet’s perspective, Lu Chuan observed the high walls of Li River Base City ahead, his mind moved, and the entire Corpse Tide boiled over like a frenzy, letting out roars as they crazily charged towards the high walls.

“Open fire!” Instantly, a scream erupted on the high walls.

Bang bang bang~

In an instant, fiery serpents spewed from the muzzles, echoing with a deafening roar, pouring down a dense rain of bullets filled with endless killing intent.

Suddenly, like scythes harvesting wheat, the zombies at the forefront fell in batches.

However, under Lu Chuan’s manipulation, the zombies were fearless and continued to advance, soon breaking through the blockade of the rain of bullets.

In an instant, a large number of zombies charged at the gates, and on both sides, zombies crazily climbed towards the high walls in a pyramid fashion.

In response, the human soldiers on the high walls could only keep throwing grenades, firing downward, and quickly cleaning up the zombies to prevent them from climbing up.

Seeing that under human suppression, the Corpse Tide couldn’t breach the Base City for the moment, Lu Chuan’s mind moved.

Swish!

The flaming Flame One, as fast as a crimson lightning bolt, flew to the top of the high walls, sending fiery serpents out that exploded across the entire high wall.

Rumble rumble~

The flames surged into the sky, with the machine gun positions as the main targets of the fiery serpents, exploding with dazzling light, a large number of soldiers were scorched by the flames, turning into Firemen, painfully struggling and screaming on the walls.

Meanwhile, Flyer One carried Invisible One, quickly approaching the high walls, soon dropping Invisible One onto the top of the walls.

Subsequently, Invisible One transformed into an invisible assassin, wreaking havoc on the high walls, every moment causing warriors to fall to the ground clutching their bleeding noses and mouths.

Before long, the unease spread across the high walls, a large number of soldiers kept glancing around cautiously and couldn’t concentrate on defending against the Corpse Tide below.

Soon, the firepower suppression on the walls was weakened to the lightest, and the accumulated zombie forces pushed open the tightly closed gates below.

“After today, there will be no more Li River Base City!”

Lu Chuan looked at the swarming Corpse Puppets, squinting slightly with cold light restrained.
