Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 501: Chapter 512: The Human Base City’s Plea for Aid

The overwhelming corpse tide was like a vast, endless black carpet spread across the earth.

In the center of the corpse tide, the vehicles in the convoy were all parked here, with tents already set up beside them.

After traveling for a day, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue stopped to rest as usual.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was leaning on a chair in front of the tent, holding a communication device in his hand and watching the content inside.

This communication device was specially left by Zhao Lin when she left earlier. With this device, it would be much easier for Zhao Lin or the human officials to contact him in the future.

Not far away, waves of heat surged from the barbecue grill. Ji Ruxue was holding skewers, constantly turning them on the rack, fully focused, her little face flushed red by the charcoal fire.

Sizzling～

She placed the sizzling oily lamb skewers on a clean plate beside her, then took out a dozen more skewers and put them on the grill.

After doing all this, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned to look at Lu Chuan not far away, asking, “Dad, what did Mrs. Zhao Lin say? Did the human officials agree?”

Ji Ruxue naturally agreed with her dad cooperating with humans, as they needed to join forces against the highly threatening alien races.

Moreover, if this cooperation succeeded, with the rewards from the humans, she wouldn’t lack the Demon Pills needed for her training.

“Haha, it seems your Aunt Zhao Lin indeed has a high status now. Everything went smoothly, and the officials have agreed.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan revealed a smile and spoke cheerfully.

In this way, he would have an additional channel to obtain Crystal Cores in the future.

“Dad, are there any entrusted tasks from the humans to deal with aliens?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue was happy and quickly asked.

Helping humans deal with an alien once means receiving a reward. Haha, next, she wondered how many Demon Pills she could earn.

“Not yet, it might take some time.”

Lu Chuan shook his head, unsurprised by this.

After all, it’s the first cooperation, and as a Corpse King, the various human Base Cities probably have their concerns.

Moreover, even if the humans wanted to seek help, he might not necessarily intervene.

Now that the Otherworld is invading, there’s no harm in joining forces with humans to fight the enemy together, but the premise is that he needs to see the sincerity of the humans.

Without sincerity, expecting him to work for free is utterly impossible!

“Dad, the barbecue is ready, hurry and eat. This is my first time grilling!”

Ji Ruxue, who came over holding a plate, understood Lu Chuan’s words, then placed the plate of barbecue on the dining table in front of Lu Chuan.

“Thank you, Qiqi. My Qiqi is really capable, thank you for working hard today!”

Smelling the aroma of meat, Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up. He put down the communication device and pinched Little Qiqi’s face.

Unexpectedly, just as Lu Chuan picked up a skewer to indulge himself, the communication device on the table suddenly vibrated.

Hearing the sound, Lu Chuan hurriedly picked up the communication device and opened it, finding a message from Zhao Lin.

[Zhao Lin: Lu Chuan, it’s urgent. Cloud Rain Base City is being besieged by Otherworldly Creatures. They want you to support them and are willing to offer a large amount of Crystal Cores and all the Demon Pills. What do you think?]

Seeing this message, Lu Chuan’s eyes brightened.

He couldn’t help but silently praise Cloud Rain Base City for being sensible!

“Cloud Rain Base City…”

Lu Chuan immediately took the map placed on the corner of the table, opened it, and searched for the location of Cloud Rain Base City.

“It’s okay, it’s not too far!”

Upon seeing the location of Cloud Rain Base City, Lu Chuan instantly had a plan.

Located in the southeast direction, there was roughly three hundred miles between them and Cloud Rain Base City, separated by only two other Base Cities. With the speed of the corpse tide, it wouldn’t take long to reach.

Considering the rewards are a large amount of Crystal Cores and Demon Pills, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t refuse and agreed directly.

[Lu Chuan: No problem, you let Cloud Rain Base City hold on for now, I’ll head over immediately!]

[Zhao Lin: Good! However, Lu Chuan, you should hurry. Cloud Rain Base City’s strength isn’t strong; they may not hold on for long.]

[Lu Chuan: I will hurry!]

“Dad, did something happen?” Ji Ruxue, who was beside him, noticed the bright smile on her dad’s face and curiously asked.

“Yes, your Aunt Zhao Lin introduced a task. Cloud Rain Base City needs support, and the rewards are Crystal Cores and Demon Pills. We won’t eat the barbecue for now, hold on to it, we’re setting off immediately.”

“Quick, let’s pack up!”

Lu Chuan nodded and explained to Ji Ruxue.

“Okay!”

Ji Ruxue was also overjoyed, thinking about the Demon Pills to be earned.

Then, the two of them quickly packed up, putting everything from the camp, including the tent and dining table, back into the convoy.

A few minutes later, the convoy began to move, with Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue in the first vehicle, each holding a few skewers, enjoying them happily.

Meanwhile, the corpse tide, under Lu Chuan’s command, started advancing towards the southeast.

…

Cloud Rain Base City.

At this moment, outside the tall walls of Cloud Rain Base City, a bloody battlefield had already formed.

Roar roar roar～

On the blood-soaked ground outside the walls, numerous bear-headed, human-bodied monsters let out deafening roars, brandishing battle axes, charging towards the high walls.

Each of these bear-headed monsters stood over three meters tall, with robust bodies covered in a thick, solid fur armor.

A large number of monsters trampled the ground as they sprinted, resembling a stampede of galloping horses, sounding terrifyingly loud, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Boom boom boom～

As they neared the walls, these bear-headed monsters suddenly exploded with brown Spiritual Light, stomping on the ground fiercely, and instantaneously, pillars of earth carrying the monsters rose skyward, sending them into the air.

Subsequently, these bear-headed monsters leaped from the earth pillars towards the high walls, swinging their battle axes viciously at the humans atop the walls.

“Kill! Hold your ground!”

“Ah~ Damn beasts, kill, slaughter them!”

On the high walls, the human side was also fully engaged, with Cloud Rain Base City’s army and Evolvers battling desperately against these aliens, with people continuously dying on the walls.

Rear Command.

“What’s the situation, is there any news from the Corpse King?” The leader of the Base City entered with a solemn face, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials.

“War God Zhao Lin reported that the Corpse King has agreed and is on his way.”

A high-ranking officer quickly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately relaxed, but soon after, they all appeared conflicted.

Is it really feasible to cooperate with the corpse?

It’s crucial to know that the Corpse King harbors deep grievances against humans. Even if it arrives, would it genuinely help their Base City?

Everyone was worried.

However, at this moment, they had no other choice!
