Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 369: Chapter 381: The Upper Echelon’s Regret—If Only We Hadn’t Provoked the Corpse King!

“No! Hurry, the zombies have broken in, block them!”

At this moment, the troops on the high walls also discovered that the city gates had been breached by zombies. Shocked in their hearts, they quickly descended the walls under the commander’s orders to intercept the mass of zombies rushing in.

Bang bang bang~

A multitude of warriors squeezed the triggers at the zombies streaming in. Instantly, gunfire became incredibly dense, creating a metal storm in the area surrounding the city gates.

Boom boom boom~

Immediately, one by one, zombies fell swiftly at the forefront of the Corpse Tide under the rain of bullets.

However, the Corpse Tide still forged ahead valiantly, zombies surged forward successively, unrelenting in their approach towards the intercepting troops despite continual casualties.

Especially the second and third-stage Tank Type Evolved Zombies amongst them; each was like an indestructible cockroach, keeping up their charge despite being battered and bruised, shielding many of the zombies in the rear from the hail of bullets.

Meanwhile, during the fierce clash between the intercepting troops and the Corpse Tide, the Base City at Li River was already in complete chaos.

“It’s zombies, the zombies have entered the city, everyone run!”

A large number of survivors panicked upon learning of zombies breaching the city, and under the threat of life and death, they began to flee frantically in the opposite direction of the Corpse Tide.

Due to the large number of people fleeing in a short period, the roads were immediately congested.

Many frantic survivors crowded together, unable to move an inch, sweating profusely in desperation.

It was zombies, being bitten once likely meant no survival, death looming right in front of them. How could these survivors possibly remain calm?

Moreover, some survivors took advantage of the chaos to commit atrocities, for there was always official limitation, grievances buried deep in their hearts all along.

And today, since the Base City was going to be destroyed anyway, indulging in pleasure was only reasonable.

Yet, due to the congestion, some units attempting to head towards the city gates for support were directly stuck on the roads, unable to move forward, and it was impossible to arrive within a short time.

Meanwhile, the battle near the city gates continued fiercely, and the tide began to turn unfavorably against the humans.

The piercing sound of bullets leaving the chamber, like waves of shrill screams, continued ceaselessly.

But the hail of bullets could not stop the relentless surge of the Corpse Tide. Soon, the troops at the forefront found themselves engaging in close combat with the zombies.

Swish swish swish~

The warriors of the units brandished their long rifles, bayonets firmly fixed at the muzzle’s front, shimmering brightly as they bravely charged.

Sadly, the zombie swarm, relying on their fearless nature and overwhelming numbers, almost instantly engulfed these warriors, rendering them unable to stall for their comrades at the rear.

As one military warrior after another was swiftly consumed by the Corpse Tide, not far away, tanks and various mortar units finally opened fire.

Boom boom boom~

In an instant, a barrage of shells exploded amidst the Corpse Tide crowding in, and due to the small area and concentrated zombies, the effect was amazingly good.

Each shell that fell tore open gaps in the zombie mass at the city gates.

Quickly, under a flurry of bombardments, the momentum of the Corpse Tide’s attack was substantially weakened, suppressed by the heavy firepower.

Whenever zombies from the outer Corpse Tide surged inside, they were promptly cleared by the shells, preventing the zombies from forming a significant concentration within the city.

However, Lu Chuan, who was always focused on the battle situation, naturally wouldn’t let the human side’s troops succeed.

Whiz whiz whiz~

The next moment, the Flame One in the sky instantly sprang into action, raising its right hand high. The flames at its fingertips flowed out upwards like water, the blaze raging as the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly.

Massive fireballs hung high above the battlefield, spreading infinite light and heat, exuding a perilous aura.

Whiz whiz whiz~

And as Lu Chuan’s arm fell, the fireballs began swiftly flying towards the targets below.

The fireballs traveled extremely fast, within moments creating fire light amongst the human troops.

Boom~

Especially the numerous tanks and armored vehicles, along with the mortar squad groups spread across various positions. These were the primary targets for Jiang Che, precisely where the fireballs were headed.

As long as the artillery could be suppressed, the fall of Li River Base City was only a matter of time.

Immediately, numerous armored vehicles and tanks burst forth with balls of fire, parts flying everywhere, engines stilled and ceased moving.

Without the aid of these artillery units, the previously arrogant intercepting troops were instantly overwhelmed by the surging Corpse Tide. In the end, only a few gunshots echoed from within the zombie mass, then abruptly ceased.

With no more obstruction, the remaining twenty to thirty thousand zombies at the rear began flowing through the city gates, continuously entering.

Before long, many streets in Li River Base City saw zombies appearing everywhere, the Corpse Tide seemingly occupying more than half the base city.

The survivors still packed in the streets, upon seeing zombies arriving there, immediately fell into chaos, terrified, they fiercely pushed forward, yet the line remained unmoved.

To avoid leaving a cruel, bloodthirsty impression on Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan did not command his Corpse Puppets to unleash carnage.

He only slaughtered those human soldiers who resisted stubbornly and some Evolvers, while also plundering some necessary resources.

For example, the military vehicles parked in the barracks, seeing these massive military vehicles, Lu Chuan’s eyes gleamed. With these vehicles, his convoy could truly upgrade.

Previously requiring seven or eight vehicles to carry the supplies, now only one military vehicle could hold it all.

However, besides directing ordinary Corpse Puppets to search for supplies, Lu Chuan manipulated his high-level Corpse Puppets to begin searching for the whereabouts of various high-ranking officials in the Base City.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz~

Actually, there was no need to look, because shortly after, five helicopters quickly ascended from the direction of the airport, trying to fly towards the distance.

Through the aircraft windows, it was clear to see Base City’s high officials with their families and some key personnel, each wearing a tense expression, fearing that zombies might attack at any moment.

“Found you!”

Witnessing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

In an instant, Flyer One and Flame One quickly flew over.

Rumble~

The flames around Flame One were dazzlingly bright, like the sun, unleashing a massive Fire Serpent towards the five helicopters.

Whiz whiz~

Simultaneously, Flyer One unleashed Flying Heaven Scale Armor, shooting forth, enveloping the entire helicopter squad.

“No!”

Facing the incoming attack, all the high officials revealed looks of despair.

If only they hadn’t provoked the Corpse King…

Boom boom boom~

In the next moment, all five helicopters exploded in succession, naturally leaving no survivors on board.
