Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 380: Chapter 392: Huang Xuan’s Plan—Luring Thunderous Roar to Fight the Corpse King?

Jianghai Base City.

Unlike the Shanchuan Base City, which faced an irresistible threat again, Jianghai Base City has been in a state of rapid development, thriving since the apocalypse.

The survivors, numbering more than a hundred thousand, have gradually recovered from the fear and panic of the apocalypse, forcibly adapting to life in the post-apocalyptic world.

In the Outer City, places that once resembled refugee camps have disappeared as the Base City completed its sustainable resource construction, providing enough resources to significantly improve the living standards of the survivors.

On the eastern side of the Outer City, there are factories such as iron smelting plants, lumber mills, and paper mills, all billowing thick black smoke. At this moment, many survivors are busy working inside these factories.

Western Outer City features sprawling green farmlands, where various crops are planted. Now, some people are working diligently in the fields with tools, weeding, watering, pest control, and fertilizing…

Meanwhile, in the inner layer of the Outer City, there are rows of sturdy brick-and-wood houses.

Ordinary survivors reside in these houses. Under the eaves, some elderly people chat, and on the distant streets, children are playing and laughing, their laughter lively and animated.

These are the changes in the Outer City. The Inner City has undergone even greater changes; with the use of electricity, it now somewhat resembles the pre-apocalyptic world.

The wide streets are paved with cement, smooth and even. At regular intervals, there are dedicated sewer openings, and streetlights stand along both sides of the roads. However, since it’s daytime, these streetlights are not turned on.

Also, on both sides of the road, there are specialized shops, supermarkets, vegetable markets, and clothing stores. People come and go, creating quite a bustling scene.

Some well-dressed Inner City residents are walking along the streets, chatting and laughing.

Yet, while the outside thrives with vitality and everything seems optimistic, the high-ranking individuals in the meeting room of Jianghai Base City are filled with worry.

Surrounding smoke curls, and the ashtrays on the table are overflowing with ashes and cigarette butts, some almost spilling over.

Worry!

Thinking about how the Corpse King is still roaming Jiang Province and might return at any moment, these people can’t eat or sleep in peace.

Jianghai Base City originally held a grudge against the Corpse King, and not a small one; after all, they’ve sent people against this guy more than once.

Now, the opponent has fully grown and is terrifyingly powerful. Since they were able to swiftly destroy Li River Base City, it signifies that they could also destroy Jianghai Base City.

In terms of strength alone, Jianghai Base City indeed can’t compare to Li River Base City.

Having such a formidable enemy lingering nearby makes it impossible for them not to worry. They can’t sleep well at night.

Jianghai Base City has finally shown some improvement, and if the Corpse King attacks, the promising situation will be ruined, and even the Base City itself has a significant chance of falling.

By then, they would probably follow in the footsteps of the dead high-ranking officers of Li River Base City.

To this, everyone present is not stupid; they all have a clear understanding that solving the Corpse King issue is urgently needed. But when it came to discussing how to deal with the Corpse King, no one had a suggestion.

After all, it’s the Corpse King capable of raising a Corpse Tide; what could a mere Base City do!

The Base City leader, sitting at the head of the table, frowned, his expression somber.

The Corpse King looms like a sword hanging over Jianghai Base City, ready to fall at any moment, causing unease.

Knock, knock, knock~

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded from outside the door, followed by a knock.

“Come in!”

The Base City leader glanced and spoke calmly.

Click~

The next moment, a stern-looking officer pushed the door open and walked quickly to the Base City leader’s front.

“Leader, a mysterious person just delivered a letter to the outpost outside the city, claiming it contains a solution to the Corpse King.

After opening it, we found something we thought would be important, so I came to report.”

The officer spoke solemnly.

Those of us responsible for security naturally can’t take the outsider’s word for it. After they left, we carefully checked to rule out the possibility of a trap.

With the report finished, the officer handed over the envelope in his hand.

“Mysterious person?”

Perplexed by the officer’s words, the Base City leader opened the envelope in front of everyone.

Inside was a clear photograph and a sheet of paper filled with writing.

Looking at the photograph placed on the table, the Base City leader’s face turned grim and his eyes sharp.

“This is Thunderous Roar!”

At this moment, a few high-ranking individuals nearby exclaimed almost simultaneously upon seeing the photo of Thunderous Roar.

Everyone present is familiar with Thunderous Roar; if it weren’t for this beast, Shanchuan Base City wouldn’t have been destroyed.

It’s just curious, what does this mysterious person want by sending a letter with a photo of Thunderous Roar?

What does solving the Corpse King have to do with Thunderous Roar?

Thus, all the high-ranking individuals focused on the content of the letter, as that’s the key!

At this moment, the Base City leader was watching the letter in his hand, reading the text slowly, his expression becoming very peculiar.

It was written about Thunderous Roar’s approximate strength and its affinity for thunder.

It also recorded a method to deal with the Corpse King, suggesting the Base City could lure Thunderous Roar to confront the Corpse King.

Then, the Base City leader handed the letter to someone nearby for the others to read.

Upon seeing the mysterious person’s suggestion, all the high-ranking individuals fell into contemplation.

They acknowledged Thunderous Roar’s power; with its fifth-tier might, using it to counter the Corpse King is indeed a method…

Outside Jianghai Base City, a figure riding a third-tier Fierce Bird swiftly landed into the woods.

Dressed in a black robe, Huang Xuan gazed in the direction of Jianghai Base City, a look of smug satisfaction on his face.

“I don’t believe you won’t be tempted!”

During his healing period, Huang Xuan not only recovered from his injuries but also began recruiting and rebuilding the Beast King Sect.

Now, Huang Xuan’s wounds have healed, and the Beast King Sect has grown to a considerable size, and he has a fourth-tier Fierce Beast at his command.

With his wounds healed, he naturally hasn’t forgotten his grudge against the Corpse King, and now he is exacting revenge against it.
