Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 499: Chapter 510: From This Moment On, Our Collaboration Begins!

Knowing it was Zhao Lin, Lu Chuan naturally did not let the flying Corpse Puppets in the air attack.

Under Lu Chuan’s control, the surrounding Corpse Puppets all retreated, leaving enough space beside the convoy for the helicopter to land.

Bzzzz~

Bam!

The helicopter came to a stop on the ground.

“Lu Chuan, Qiqi!”

Zhao Lin stepped off the helicopter, smiling as she looked at the two approaching.

“Mrs. Zhao Lin!”

Ji Ruxue quickly ran over, about to grab her arm as she usually did, but suddenly noticed Zhao Lin’s aura was different.

“This is… breaking through to the seventh tier!”

A flash of surprise crossed Ji Ruxue’s eyes.

Immediately, she marveled at the strength of Zhao Lin’s Talent Ability!

Though Zhao Lin’s Talent Ability couldn’t provide immediate combat power, her cultivation progression was jumping leaps and bounds.

Every time she died, she could seamlessly cross the barrier of the realms.

It should be known, Zhao Lin wasn’t as wealthy as Ji Ruxue, using energy potions non-stop every day, purely relying on medicine for advancement. Zhao Lin’s achievements were likely thanks to her Talent Ability.

“Little Qiqi, did you miss your aunt?”

Zhao Lin lovingly patted Little Qiqi’s head and said in a gentle tone.

“Yes!” Ji Ruxue’s voice was sticky sweet.

“So cute…”

Hearing this, Zhao Lin suddenly beamed with joy, pulling Ji Ruxue into her embrace and, ignoring Ji Ruxue’s protests, pinched her little face.

“Zhao Lin, what brings you here?”

Luckily, at that moment, Lu Chuan spoke, allowing Ji Ruxue to temporarily escape Zhao Lin’s clutches.

“I obviously have something to discuss with you, but speaking of which, you left so suddenly. I didn’t know beforehand and ended up on a wild goose chase!”

Zhao Lin didn’t dive directly to the point but pretended to complain instead.

“You went to Li River Base City?”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan smiled.

“Yes! At that time, I was being chased by a Giant Dragon, and I thought to run over so you could save my life, but you had already left.” Zhao Lin said somewhat helplessly.

If Lu Chuan had been there at the time, she wouldn’t have wasted one of her revival chances.

It was simply bad luck.

“Giant Dragon?”

Upon hearing Zhao Lin’s words, both Lu Chuan and his daughter were visibly surprised and spoke in unison.

“Yes, a Giant Dragon appeared out of nowhere…”

Zhao Lin nodded and began to recount the events of that day to them.

“So now, that Giant Dragon should be inside Thunderous Roar’s belly.”

After listening to Zhao Lin’s account, Lu Chuan’s eyes shifted. If he managed to kill a Giant Dragon and then let a Corpse Puppet undergo Devouring Evolution, wouldn’t that result in a Giant Dragon zombie?

Upon thinking this, Lu Chuan’s gaze suddenly became fervent.

However, Giant Dragons aren’t easy to find, and as Zhao Lin mentioned, they usually appear in groups, making solitary Giant Dragons even rarer.

Lu Chuan had ideas but also understood that Giant Dragons were hard to find and even harder to kill.

Putting this matter aside for now, Lu Chuan turned to Zhao Lin and asked, “By the way, what brings you here this time?”

Zhao Lin adjusted her expression to a serious one and gravely asked, “Lu Chuan, this time, with your Corpse Tide moving east, you’ve caused quite a stir within the humans.

The humans suspect you of planning to attack Tianhai Base City.

Tianhai Base City is the second-largest base city, holding a vast array of strategic weapons, crucial to humanity, so many propose to block you!”

Nonetheless, I don’t believe you intend to attack Tianhai, so I specifically suggested coming over personally to confirm.”

“Tianhai Base City? You’re overthinking it. What does Tianhai have that I could possibly desire?

My journey eastwards was primarily to reach Sea Province, not for Tianhai Base City!”

Lu Chuan was somewhat speechless, shaking his head, unable to help but complain inwardly about how sensitive these humans were.

“Glad to hear!” Hearing this, Zhao Lin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Lu Chuan indeed targeted Tianhai, the humans, despite any reluctance, might have responded with strategic weapons to protect Tianhai Base City.

But seeing Lu Chuan’s expression, Zhao Lin couldn’t help but give a wry smile and explain, “You can’t blame us, your direction was straight towards Tianhai.”

“Alright, just inform the authorities, stop being so suspicious!” Lu Chuan waved his hand, realizing he hadn’t considered that aspect earlier.

Reflecting on it, his path did indeed head directly toward Tianhai Base City, so it was understandable for the humans to make such assumptions.

“Okay, I also think they’re overreacting. With your reputation, you wouldn’t attack a human base city without reason.” Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.

“You must hold quite a high position among the humans now to get them to agree to your suggestion.”

Seemingly thinking of something, Lu Chuan smiled, sensing the seventh-tier aura emanating from Zhao Lin.

As far as the humans are concerned, he, the Corpse King, is far from amicable, with outright adversarial relations.

For Zhao Lin to get the humans to agree to her proposal, she must indeed hold a significant position, and after all, Zhao Lin was now a seventh-tier Evolver.

“Indeed, now I’ve been appointed by the Imperial Capital as the Unrivaled War God, commanding both Dragon Province and Su Province, making me one of humanity’s higher-ups.”

Pride flickered across Zhao Lin’s face.

Reaching the upper echelons so quickly was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Then, Zhao Lin recalled the agreement she had previously reached with Lu Chuan.

She was now considered one of humanity’s high-ups, though she hadn’t taken the leader’s position yet. But she could act as a bridge, representing humanity in communicating with Lu Chuan to reach some cooperative agreements.

“Lu Chuan, I am now among humanity’s higher echelons and can influence some major decisions. Do you remember the agreement between us?”

Zhao Lin looked at Lu Chuan, slightly anxious, fearing he would shake his head in the next second.

Agreement?

Lu Chuan instantly recalled the agreement between them and directly nodded.

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten!”

“So, would you consider peaceful coexistence with humanity, or even joining forces against foreign races, sharing risks and gains?” Zhao Lin asked quickly, excited by his response.

“Peaceful coexistence—so long as humans don’t provoke me, I naturally won’t be an enemy to humanity. You can count on that,” Lu Chuan replied with certainty.

Then, turning the topic, he said, “As for joining forces with humanity against foreign races, sharing risks and gains, that…”

Lu Chuan didn’t finish, but his face displayed a look of hesitation.
