Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 488: Chapter 499: Giant Dragon Attack!

After dealing with the Frost Giant Wolf, Lu Chuan led the massive Corpse Tide eastward, maneuvering the convoy along the mapped route, steadily advancing.

At this moment, on the wide road, from all directions, there was nothing but the dark mass of the Corpse Tide. All the obstructing vehicles along the way were pushed aside by the Corpse Tide ahead, making the journey for the convoy completely unobstructed.

What delighted Lu Chuan was that, during the march, several fourth-tier Corpse Puppets broke through to the fifth tier.

The bodies of the Frost Giant Wolves, with at least fourth-tier strength, contained exceedingly ample energy, providing great reinforcement for many Corpse Puppets’ advancements.

Lu Chuan estimated that in the forthcoming period, quite a few Corpse Puppets should continue to ascend.

“I wonder if there will be more willing contributors like the Frost Giant Wolves later on the road…”

In the co-driver’s seat, Lu Chuan leaned against it, holding a map and indulging in delightful thoughts.

If this happened a few more times, Lu Chuan suspected the number of sixth-tier Corpse Puppets in his ranks could reach an astonishing hundred!

However, he knew his thoughts were overly idealistic.

After all, those alien races surviving in the Otherworld are mostly not foolish, and Frost Giant Wolves, who charge in headstrong despite seeing an endless Corpse Tide, are few and far between.

Earlier, on many occasions, the Corpse Tide would collide with alien races, and those races, recognizing the situation, would bolt away.

Thus, at first, Lu Chuan expected the Frost Giant Wolves to flee upon seeing the Corpse Tide.

But unexpectedly, these Frost Giant Wolves turned out to be quite benevolent “wolves,” delightfully contributing, giving him a massive surprise.

In the front row, Lu Chuan was lost in unrealistic fantasies, while in the back row, Ji Ruxue sat cross-legged, blissfully eyeing the numerous Demon Pills in the burlap sack.

Truly, it was like being handed a pillow when sleepy—previously stored Demon Pills were largely consumed through array formations and crafting energy potions, but now she’s acquired a large batch again.

With these Demon Pills and the experimental equipment carried by the convoy, she could soon obtain a substantial amount of energy potions, causing her cultivation to inevitably progress further.

In her past life, during this period, although she had a high position among humanity, she never possessed such a wealth of freely accessible cultivation resources.

Following her father, the Corpse King, indeed had prospects!

In her past life, Ji Ruxue’s status among humanity was comparable to, or even slightly higher than, Zhao Lin’s current position.

Yet even so, it was impossible to acquire this many Demon Pills from the slaughter of thousands of Frost Giant Wolves.

Given humanity’s current strength, no Base City could accomplish such a feat.

Even if humanity concentrated its forces to encircle and kill these Frost Giant Wolves, the resulting Demon Pills would not be solely handed to Ji Ruxue.

…

Chaoyang Base City.

Military camp, inside the office.

Tap tap tap～

Urgent footsteps sounded from afar, quickly reaching the office door was a young officer.

“Lord War God!” The young officer saluted.

“Come in! Did you make contact? What’s the situation? Has Mid Heaven Base City confirmed the withdrawal of the Corpse Tide?”

Zhao Lin lifted her head, furrowed her brows as she looked at her assistant, inquiring.

Previously, upon receiving the distress signal from Mid Heaven Base City, the top officials discussed—eventually leaving the decision to Zhao Lin, the Unrivaled War God commanding two provinces.

A Base City breached resulted in at least tens of thousands of deaths at the hands of alien races; Zhao Lin could never choose not to assist.

However, just as Zhao Lin led her Evolutionary Squad to support, with massive helicopter formations in flight, news was received from Mid Heaven Base City declaring the danger was over.

Mid Heaven Base City communicated that the giant wolf pack it faced had been resolved by the Corpse Tide, and currently with the Corpse Tide’s departure, the city was completely safe.

“Yes, Lord War God, according to Mid Heaven Base City, they specifically dispatched Evolutionaries to investigate and found the Corpse Tide had vanished without a trace.” The young officer nodded firmly, speaking earnestly.

“Corpse Tide… Didn’t expect another Corpse King to emerge.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin felt slightly relieved, but pondering over the sudden appearance of the Corpse Tide caused her to furrow her brows again.

Logically, even though the Corpse Tide resolved the Ice Giant Wolf Pack, it wouldn’t spare the nearby Mid Heaven Base City… Why did the opposing Corpse King act this way? Is there some sort of plot?

While Zhao Lin was lost in thought, urgent footsteps echoed from outside the door.

It was Zhao Lin’s former Yu Hua Gang Evolutionary subordinate, now her direct subordinate.

At this moment, the individual rushed into the office, face filled with urgency.

“Boss, things aren’t good!”

“What’s the commotion! Calm down!” The awakened Zhao Lin pulled a stern face and reprimanded loudly.

Recently, Zhao Lin’s cultivation had progressed significantly, nearing the seventh tier, increasing her aura noticeably.

The rebuked Evolutionary felt a tension gripping his body, quickly composed himself, suppressing his urgent tone, speaking with a troubled expression and trembling voice: “Boss, the situation is dire. One of our Evolutionary Squads detected a Giant Dragon swiftly approaching the Base City.

In no time, it’ll reach the Base City!”

“What? Giant Dragon?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin’s expression changed dramatically, standing up directly from her position, while the young officer beside her turned pale upon hearing “Giant Dragon.”

It’s known that the minimum tier for a Giant Dragon is the seventh, yet currently, the strongest Zhao Lin within the Base City is only at the sixth tier.

Even though Zhao Lin is exceptional among six-tier Evolutionaries, she’s still merely sixth-tier, incapable of contending with a Giant Dragon.

Nonetheless, retreating isn’t an option; after all, the Base City houses over a million survivors.

Furthermore, possessing the ability to revive, Zhao Lin doesn’t fear death.

Moments later, Zhao Lin led others to ascend the high wall.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the city wall was already poised for a great battle, radiating slaughter.

A large number of serious-looking military officers clung tightly to their weapons, steadfast on the wall, with all manner of military weaponry prepared, aimed at the colossal figure looming in the distant sky.

The Giant Dragon was immensely large, with a ferocious visage, its crimson-brown horns piercing the sky, its body covered in radiant red Scale Armor shimmering in the sunlight, vast fleshy wings constantly beating, stirring waves of heat.

“Roar～”

The Giant Dragon let out a deafening roar, instantly seeming to shake the surrounding space violently; those far on the high wall felt their heads buzzing, dizzy.

Though massive in size, the Giant Dragon moved with incredible speed, closing in on Chaoyang Base City within breaths, leaving only thousands of meters.

Meanwhile, many Evolutionaries and helicopter formations had bravely approached, prepared to block the Giant Dragon.

The confrontation unfolded in mid-air!
