Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 492: Chapter 503: War God’s Order: No More Initiating Attacks on the Corpse King!

After leaving the giant dragon’s corpse there for Thunderous Roar to handle on its own, Zhao Lin prepared to set off back to Chaoyang Base City.

Although the flying device on her back was damaged in the fall, having successfully broken through the seventh-level, Zhao Lin could now fly autonomously, so the return journey wouldn’t be too slow.

“By the way… is Lu Chuan not here?”

Just as Zhao Lin was about to leave, she suddenly paused, recalling something from earlier. She had glanced around and noticed that the whole Base City seemed deserted. So where were Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi?

Where did they go?

With some suspicion in her heart, Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment but decided to search thoroughly for Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi’s whereabouts.

Unfortunately, after a comprehensive search, Zhao Lin couldn’t find any trace of them in the Base City. Their living villa was empty, and the entire Base City didn’t have a single zombie.

Recalling how the zombies in the Lijiang city area seemed to have disappeared too, Zhao Lin immediately had a suspicion.

“Could it be that Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi have already left Lijiang?”

As she slowly walked out of the city gate, Zhao Lin’s eyes flickered slightly, guessing what might have happened.

However, she immediately felt a burst of joy. If this were true, it would mean Lu Chuan had taken her advice and left Lijiang on his own.

“Wait! I remember now!”

In an instant, Zhao Lin’s eyes flashed with a glint of insight and her face lit up with joy.

Previously, when Mid Heaven City was attacked by a pack of giant wolves, there was the matter of the Corpse Tide’s assistance, which she had been puzzled about. Why would the Corpse King do that? Now, she finally understood.

That Corpse King must be Lu Chuan!

“It must be Lu Chuan, no doubt! Aside from him, no other Corpse King would come to the aid of humans.”

Zhao Lin was visibly excited.

Aside from Lu Chuan, she couldn’t think of any other Corpse King that would help humans. Moreover, since Lu Chuan was now actively helping humans, it was certainly a good sign.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin couldn’t help but show a bright smile.

Having basically determined the whereabouts of Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi, Zhao Lin relaxed and gave a caring glance to Thunderous Roar, who was devouring the dragon’s corpse.

At this time, the heavily scarred Thunderous Roar was rapidly healing its injuries with the dragon’s flesh.

Particularly, the exposed white bones on its face and the deep wounds on its body, with streams of Spiritual Essence, were quickly growing flesh buds that fused and intertwined into sturdy scabs.

Additionally, Thunderous Roar’s singed fur was rapidly regrowing, and before long, soft purple bear fur began to grow, restoring some of its former appearance that had been lost with the fur.

At this moment, Thunderous Roar, feasting greedily, retreated a bit warily when it saw Zhao Lin approaching, letting out a few low growls with a hint of wariness in its eyes.

“Keep eating! When your master returns, be sure to show her the letter!”

Zhao Lin thought for a moment and decided to leave a letter behind.

According to the information from Mid Heaven City, Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi seemed to be moving eastward with the Corpse Tide.

However, since they had left Thunderous Roar here to watch over the place, it indicated they would not abandon this base and would return in the future.

Of course, she couldn’t possibly go looking for Lu Chuan and the others now, so she could only write a letter to let them know she had been here.

A few breaths later, under Thunderous Roar’s watchful gaze, Zhao Lin transformed into a blue shimmer of light, quickly flying into the sky and disappearing from sight.

…

Chaoyang Base City.

For quite some time, the giant dragon had not returned, which reassured the survivors of the Base City. However, Zhao Lin’s prolonged absence had the leaders, including the city’s head, worried.

Lord War God was counted as the top combat force of the Base City and served as the commander of all Base Cities in Dragon Province, safeguarding the safety of Dragon Province.

If something were to happen, it wouldn’t just be a catastrophe for Dragon Province; it would be an earthquake for the entire country.

Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was heavy, with each high official wearing a look of concern.

“Comrades, the helicopter squad has searched approximately one hundred fifty miles in the given direction, but there is still no sign of Lord War God.”

A young military officer said with a worried look and a solemn voice.

Upon hearing this, all the high officials frowned.

Not long after Lord War God led the giant dragon away, the Base City sent people to search in that direction, but as of now, they hadn’t received any useful information.

“Everyone, don’t worry. Lord War God’s speed is not slow. Even if the giant dragon is powerful, it might not be able to handle Lord War God.

Right now, the reason we haven’t found any trace of Lord War God and that giant dragon could very well be because Lord War led the dragon beyond the helicopter squad’s search range.”

Seeing the somber atmosphere, the head of the Base City perked up and said seriously as he looked at everyone.

After all, just because they hadn’t found Lord War God didn’t mean he had fallen; therefore, there was still hope.

However, the thought of that at least seventh-level giant dragon made the head of the Base City inevitably show a gloomy expression…

Tap, tap, tap ~

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door.

“Leader! Leader! Good news! Lord War God has returned!”

A military officer with a beaming smile hurriedly ran into the meeting room, reporting urgently.

“What?”

“Lord War God has returned!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of joy, all standing up from their chairs.

“How is it? Is Lord War God alright? Is he hurt?”

The Base City leader walked excitedly to the officer, immediately concerned about Zhao Lin’s injuries.

“No worries… Lord War God is unharmed and just landed from the air and is still on the high wall.”

Seeing the leader personally inquiring, the officer straightened his expression and quickly responded.

“Good, good, good, everyone, follow me!”

Learning that Lord War God was unharmed, the Base City leader relaxed and promptly led everyone to the high wall.

Not long after, the news of Zhao Lin’s safe return spread throughout the entire Base City. Moreover, upon learning that Lord War God not only broke through to the seventh level but also successfully killed the giant dragon, the entire Base City was instantly in an uproar, causing a massive sensation.

As the news spread to the surrounding Base Cities, Zhao Lin’s reputation soared even further.

Shortly after Zhao Lin returned to the Base City, she issued a directive.

Henceforth, all Base Cities in Jiang Province and Dragon Province must not actively attack the Corpse King!

This command was to be unconditionally followed by every Base City!

The reason Zhao Lin did this was naturally to show her sincerity to Lu Chuan.

Perhaps she couldn’t change the overall human policy direction yet.

But, for now, in these two places, Dragon Province and Jiang Province, she had the final say.
