Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 503: Chapter 514: Pleasant Cooperation! Win-Win!

Roar Roar～

At the foot of the Corpse Hill, corpses puppets bared their fangs and claws, gnawing on the bodies of the Bear-men.

Even with tough fur and heavy armor, the Bear-men became riddled with wounds under such attacks.

Many Bear-men, submerged by the tide of zombies, began to resist fiercely, shaking off the corpse puppets pressing down on them.

Then, swinging their battle axes, they slaughtered the surrounding corpse puppets, causing bits of corpses to splatter everywhere.

However, these Bear-men only managed to rise for a few seconds before more zombies swarmed them, pinning them down once again, increasing in number until the Bear-men couldn’t resist anymore.

In the end, these subdued Bear-men mostly followed in the footsteps of the previous ones.

Meanwhile, the few dozen Bear-men at the back, due to their position, managed to escape the confines of the zombie tide and quickly retreated, soon leaving the range of the horde.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t let these dozens of Bear-men go, as he always believed in eradicating the problem at its root.

With a mere thought, thousands of Agile Type corpse puppets split from the zombie tide and rapidly chased after the dozens of Bear-men.

Rumble Rumble～

In moments, thousands of Agile Type corpse puppets caught up with the Bear-men and, through siege tactics, managed to hold them off.

Each Bear-man was tough and robust; although the Agile Type corpse puppets were fast, it was difficult to deal significant damage to these defensively strong Bear-men. They could only restrain them, wearing down the enemies to keep them pinned here.

Soon enough, the entire Bear-man tribe lay slain, left sprawling outside the city walls, the ground awash with blood, a thick scent of iron in the air.

With the battle over, Lu Chuan began to maneuver the corpse puppets to clean the battlefield.

In particular, those Agile Type corpse puppets, under his control, started devouring the corpses of the Bear-men.

The Bear-men’s strong physique and notable defense made for excellent fusion material, especially valuable to the numerous Agile Type corpse puppets within the zombie tide.

Currently, when Lu Chuan’s zombie tide attacks an enemy, the Agile Type corpse puppets have little use; their defense is too weak and their attack power insufficient.

In pursuits and aerial combats, the Agile Type corpse puppets have seemed rather awkward within the ranks.

Now, Lu Chuan wanted these numerous Agile Type corpse puppets to transform and, through devouring evolution, gain the Bear-men’s physique and defensive abilities.

As time passed, one by one, the Agile Type corpse puppets, after devouring the Bear-men, successfully completed their devouring evolution.

Instantly, each transformed dramatically, looking vastly different from before.

Suddenly, these corpse puppets bulked up rapidly as if inflated, their limbs stout and robust, each standing over three meters tall, with a thick layer of fur covering their bodies.

The previously hunched bodies now stood straight, with pair of long scythe-like forelimbs resembling broad, black, razor-sharp swords, tips dragging on the ground.

Additionally, the heads of these Agile Type corpse puppets had entirely morphed into bear forms, their faces hideous, turning into a new type of corpse puppet—the Bear-man Corpse Puppet!

After this wave of corpse puppets completed their devouring evolution, Lu Chuan began directing the corpse puppets to clean up the rest of the battlefield and extract the Crystal Cores from the deceased zombies.

The flesh and blood of the Bear-men could supply the zombie tide, serving as nourishment for the corpse puppets, while the Bear-men’s Demon Pills were handed over to Ji Ruxue.

Lu Chuan was keen on as many Crystal Cores as he could get, even though the zombies slain by Bear-men were of low rank and their Crystal Cores of low grade. But even a little bit counts, and Lu Chuan wouldn’t let them go to waste.

At this moment, back in Cloud Rain Base City…

“Since the Corpse King has helped us deal with these monsters, let us send a team of Evolvers to help the Corpse King handle the corpses of those monsters and clean the battlefield to show our Base City’s sincerity!”

The head of the Base City, having already reached the high walls with a group of high-ranking officials, witnessed the scene in the distance and hastily issued the command.

This batch of Evolvers was meant to express their sincerity and to test the reaction of the Corpse King.

If the Corpse King did not attack these people, it would strongly signal the Corpse King’s stance towards them.

Soon, a group of over a hundred Evolvers from the Base City set out toward the battlefield.

The group sent by Cloud Rain Base City was naturally noticed by Lu Chuan, but he didn’t act rashly, wanting to see what these people were up to.

Seeing them begin to help clean the battlefield, Lu Chuan was taken aback, and then he realized they were expressing goodwill towards him.

To this, Lu Chuan naturally did not refuse, allowing them to assist the zombie tide in cleaning the chaotic battlefield.

Before long, only the standing zombies and human faction were left on the battlefield; the corpses lying on the ground had been dealt with and carted away.

Although both sides stared at each other, peculiarly, ten minutes went by without Lu Chuan’s zombies attacking the Evolvers.

Noticing this, Cloud Rain Base City let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed the cooperation with the Corpse King was genuine!

This way, the zombie tide would no longer be a threat to them.

“Go, bring out the prepared Crystal Cores and Demon Pills; deliver them over and be sure to be courteous!”

The head of the Base City instructed subordinates to deliver the pre-prepared rewards to the Corpse King.

These Crystal Cores and Demon Pills were the Base City’s reserves since the beginning of the apocalypse, quite valuable overall. However, compared to the Base City’s safety, these were negligible.

Soon, three trucks loaded with boxes slowly drove out of the Base City, heading towards the zombie tide.

Each truck bed carried two wooden crates filled with Crystal Cores and Demon Pills.

Five boxes contained Crystal Cores of various grades, and one contained the rarer Demon Pills.

Lu Chuan, leveraging the Flying Corpse Puppet, saw the truck’s crates already opened, revealing boxes of Crystal Cores and Demon Pills, nodding in satisfaction.

Then, Lu Chuan dispatched zombies to take over these Crystal Cores and Demon Pills. Six large corpse puppets lifted the boxes from the truck beds onto their shoulders.

Subsequently, these corpse puppets returned to the zombie tide and placed the boxes onto the central convoy’s trucks. As soon as they were set down, the trucks sank slightly, causing the tires to deflate slightly.

Content with this, Lu Chuan, preparing to leave with the zombie tide, reconsidered and sent out a Flying Corpse Puppet to deliver a letter to the other side.

On the high walls, seeing a Flying Corpse Puppet approach, the Evolvers reacted as if facing a great enemy, shielding the high-ranking officials behind them.

Seeing this, the Flying Corpse Puppet didn’t approach further, simply dropping a playing card before quickly turning away and leaving.

Half a minute later, the head of the Base City received the playing card from an Evolver and immediately noticed writing on it.

“Pleasant cooperation!”
