Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 371: Chapter 383: Dad, Instead of Hiding, Why Not Claim This Land as Our Own?

At this moment, teams of zombies were searching and exploring in the inner city.

All kinds of resources that could be used were being transported to the convoy parked on the street, with everyone busy and in full swing.

Half-meter-high iron boxes were filled with crystal cores that were scavenged.

Bulging large bags were filled with all kinds of vegetables and daily necessities.

In addition, there were various guns and essential ammunition.

The crystal cores were enough to fill more than a dozen boxes. One box was mostly filled with tier-three crystal cores, three boxes were filled with tier-two crystal cores, and the rest were all tier-one crystal cores, which Lu Chuan didn’t think much of.

Regarding rifles, the Base City had plentiful reserves, plus what was collected from those human warriors who died in battle, totaling over a thousand.

In addition, dozens of heavy machine guns, which were many times more powerful than rifles, were collected, and there were too many boxes full of bullets and grenades to count.

Next, Lu Chuan controlled the zombies to transport the collected supplies onto the vehicles.

With the addition of military vehicles, the loading capacity of the entire convoy was greatly enhanced, and the large amount of supplies scavenged from the base was more than enough to fit, even with some room to spare.

“Daddy, are we leaving here?”

Ji Ruxue, sitting in the back of the car, saw the scene outside and asked Lu Chuan, who was in the passenger seat.

Sigh ~ We just arrived, and now we have to leave.

Thinking back to their repeated evacuations to avoid humans, Ji Ruxue’s eyes flashed with determination as an idea suddenly occurred to her.

Upon hearing, Lu Chuan, who was controlling the Corpse Puppets, turned around and, with a smile, patiently explained on paper: “Little Qiqi, this is, after all, human territory. If we stay long, we will eventually be targeted by humans.”

The Human Base City is an extension of human officialdom across the country, the extension of power, and eyes everywhere responsible for reporting the situation. Once something amiss is discovered, it is immediately reported.

Earlier, after discovering the Corpse King, the Li River Base City reported it to the Imperial Capital as per standard practice.

Now, with the destruction of Li River Base City by him, the human officialdom will likely soon respond.

In order to eliminate the culprit attacking Li River Base City, humans will surely mobilize more forces, possibly a large military force and Evolvers, heading towards Li River Base City.

Therefore, if they delay at Li River Base City, they will likely have to face the strength of human officialdom directly, and a battle would be inevitable.

It’s not that Lu Chuan fears humans. After all, he dared to destroy Li River Base City and eliminate its high-level officials without hesitation. What is there to fear?

He is just concerned that if he acts too slowly, he may be targeted by the human officialdom.

If the convoy is tangled up with the human officials, they will likely mobilize more forces to deal with him.

Humans, although weak individually, no match for Evolved Corpse Puppets, are far stronger in overall power compared to Lu Chuan.

Unless Lu Chuan begins to accumulate Corpse Puppets, unleashing a widespread Corpse Tide and continuously escalating to form a terrifying sea of corpses.

Otherwise, despite the full bombardment and firepower coverage from the human side, Lu Chuan has not yet thought of a good solution.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue shook her head and said bitterly, “Daddy, even if we hide, humans will still target us.

Just like the encounter at Sixth Plant Town, it’s likely only a matter of time before Human Evolvers find us and launch another attack.”

Like Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue was also annoyed and deeply resentful of the repeated entanglement by human officials.

Although the actions of human officials were unlikely to pose a deadly threat to them, it was still annoying and often disrupted their travel plans.

At this point, Ji Ruxue no longer wished to hide.

Hearing Little Qiqi’s words, Lu Chuan felt a tinge of sadness, realizing the little one had grown weary of such a life!

Then, Lu Chuan’s expression turned serious, and he wrote on the paper: “Little Qiqi is right. Daddy understands now. If you have any other ideas, you can talk to Daddy.”

“Daddy, I think we should just leave this Zombie Army in Li River Base City!

Rather than hiding, we might as well claim territory and become kings.

We should settle here, and you can use these zombies to establish your own power, your own Corpses’ Kingdom.

By then, even if those humans come to attack, we will have numerous Evolved Zombies to face them frontally!”

There was a seductive tone in Ji Ruxue’s words.

If only she could convince her father to stay here, then they wouldn’t have to constantly be on the run, exposed to the elements, working themselves to exhaustion.

Compared to living comfortably in a human city, the living conditions in the wild were just too unbearable.

The inability to bathe regularly was enough to drive Ji Ruxue insane. She loved cleanliness, whether in her past or current life.

Such a harsh lifestyle, not being able to bath for three or four days, no matter how much she endured it, deep down, she resisted.

If they could stay, that would indeed be the best option!

“Stay and establish a Corpse Kingdom…”

Upon hearing Little Qiqi’s suggestion, Lu Chuan’s brows immediately furrowed as he fell into a dilemma.

If he stayed, he would inevitably face off with humans, and to emerge victorious, he would need to, like Little Qiqi suggested, gather a massive number of zombies and build a strong power belonging solely to himself, a Corpse Kingdom.

“Always moving! I’m frankly tired of it… Perhaps the reason human officialdom keeps chasing me relentlessly, like a hunter after an easy prey, is because I keep running!”

After a moment, Lu Chuan made a decision in his heart. No more running; they will stay in Li River Base City.

Little Qiqi is right; even if they leave today at top speed, they won’t be able to stay hidden from the human officialdom for long.

After all, once they leave and head towards the next city’s urban area, they would likely be discovered by that city’s Base City and the message reported.

By then, a deadly battle would once again ensue…

Having thought it through, Lu Chuan felt relieved.

Now, with high-level Corpse Puppets under his command and a massive Corpse Tide, he already has the capital to confront human officialdom head-on; there’s no need to continue hiding.

If human officialdom wants to engage him, Lu Chuan will undoubtedly fight to the end!
