Zombie King: Picking up a baby at the beginning is the reincarnation of the empress

Chapter 316 Preparing to leave Shanchuan City!

"Where did the crystal cores of these black-scaled giant pythons go?"

Squatting down, Zhao Lin carefully examined the fresh wounds on the heads of these black-scaled giant pythons, her mind filled with doubt.

She remembered clearly that although she had killed all the black-scaled giant pythons, she had not rushed to extract the crystal cores. She planned to kill the last third-tier black-scaled giant python before collecting the crystal cores together.

But now, as soon as he returned, the crystal cores of these black-scaled giant pythons were taken away.

Zhao Lin's brows furrowed, her body tensed, gripping the steel knife, and she looked around warily, wary of a sudden attack.

"Since I didn't extract the crystal core, it means there's another entity in the shadows that took it away..."

A minute later, the expected attack did not occur, and Zhao Lin felt a slight sense of relief. However, she did not completely let down her guard and instead retreated slowly toward the villa's gate in a defensive posture.

After all, the crystal core had been stolen, and no one could guarantee that the thief hiding in the shadows wouldn't ambush her. She couldn't give them any chance.

As long as she can get back to Haoyun Residential Area, she will tell Lu Chuan about this and ask him to send evolved zombies to investigate. Maybe they can find the corpse thief hiding in the shadows.

creak~

Zhao Lin had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped, as if she had stepped on something.

Zhao Lin lifted her foot and glanced down. Her eyes lit up immediately; it was a second-tier crystal core.
Zhao Lin hurriedly picked up the crystal core. Looking at the crystal core in her hand, she was completely confused. Seeing that the bloodstains on the crystal core had not yet dried, there was no doubt that this crystal core should be from those black-scaled giant pythons.

How could someone who secretly steals crystal cores leave such precious crystal cores here?
Did it fall by accident?

Unable to understand, Zhao Lin glanced around warily, and after confirming there was no danger, she quickly walked towards the villa gate.

We can't stay here any longer; it's best to leave now.

Unexpectedly, after rushing a few steps, Zhao Lin stopped again. Looking down, she realized she had stepped on something again—another crystal core! And a blood-stained, third-tier crystal core at that.

"Who! Get out here!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Lin was immediately furious and shouted at her surroundings. She had already noticed that there were no crystal cores on the road ahead.

He hadn't even taken a few steps before stepping on a crystal core; clearly, someone in the shadows was playing tricks on him.

That damn guy, hiding in the shadows, somehow managed to place the crystal core under her feet, and she even stepped on it twice.

For a moment, Zhao Lin felt her dignity had been insulted. She gritted her teeth and searched her surroundings, trying to find that damned guy.

"If you've got the guts, come out and fight! Hiding in the shadows and using these underhanded tricks won't get you a single thing!"

Zhao Lin angrily raised the battle knife in her hand and shouted.

After a few moments, still receiving no response, Zhao Lin had no choice but to give up and reluctantly started walking out of the villa.

As she walked out of the villa, Zhao Lin kept her eyes glued to her feet, scrutinizing every detail, wary that the other party might try to trick her again.

Finally, after walking out of the villa, the other party did not make another move, and Zhao Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could fully relax, she stopped in her tracks, and a crystal core suddenly appeared beneath her feet.

"Damn it, get out here! I'm going to kill you!"

Zhao Lin suddenly sensed something, shouted, and the steel knife in her hand flew around continuously.

Roar!
Just then, a roar echoed from the previously empty surroundings. The stealth character, whose arm had been grazed by the blade, howled and retreated, simultaneously activating his stealth. "Beast, I've finally found you! Die!"

Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with a sharp light. She shouted and was about to slash at Invisible Number One with her steel knife.

swoosh~
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, and Flying One flew by quickly, grabbing Stealth One and flying away, disappearing into the sky.

"That's... Lu Chuan's zombie?"

Upon seeing Flight One, Zhao Lin finally realized what was happening.

The fact that Flight One rescued the evolved zombie means...

"You bastard Lu Chuan, how dare you play me for a fool like this!"

Upon discovering that Lu Chuan was playing a trick on her, Zhao Lin was furious. She immediately abandoned her plan to kill the ferocious beast and stormed back to Haoyun Residential Area.

A moment later, downstairs.

Zhao Lin stormed over and yelled at Lu Chuan, who was lounging in a recliner, squinting in the sun, "Lu Chuan, you bastard, how dare you play me for a fool! I'll fight you one-on-one!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan opened his eyes. Since Zhao Lin wanted a one-on-one fight, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he happily decided to send Erpang to fight Zhao Lin one-on-one.

The next moment, the sounds of Zhao Lin being brutally beaten by Erpang came from downstairs.

"This is too much! Little Qiqi, you don't even talk to your father, all you do is bully me! Look at my face!"

Not long after, Zhao Lin, her face bruised and swollen, ran to the lotus pond not far away and complained to Ji Ruxue beside her.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue was holding a large bag of dried meat and feeding the old turtle in the pool. After being fed by Ji Ruxue for a while, especially after swallowing a lot of first and second-tier crystal cores, the turtle had reached the late stage of the third tier and was not far from the fourth tier.

Hearing Zhao Lin's complaint, Ji Ruxue poured all the jerky from the bag into the old turtle's mouth. Then, she looked up with a smile and said, "Aunt Zhao Lin, my dad is just joking with you!"

As she spoke, Ji Ruxue sighed inwardly. Her father had changed a lot during this time. Perhaps he had been too repressed living on the farm. Now that he was out of the farm, he was free to roam the world and let his true nature shine through!
"Hmph, that doesn't mean you can fool me!"

Zhao Lin snorted coldly and pouted.

At dinner time.

At the dining table, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin sat facing each other.

"Aunt Zhao Lin, Dad said he's planning to leave Shanchuan City tomorrow. Please get ready."

Ji Ruxue placed a piece of boiled lamb chop into Zhao Lin's bowl and reminded her.

"Leaving so soon...!"

Zhao Lin, who was gnawing on a piece of lamb chop, said with some reluctance.

Fighting the ferocious beasts lately has been quite enjoyable, and there's no shortage of food here, plus no one to bother us. It's a place I could easily live for a long time...

However, this was Lu Chuan's decision, and she dared not object. Since Lu Chuan said he wanted to leave, then he should leave!

After leaving Lu Chuan and Xiao Qiqi, she herself didn't know where to go.

"Luckily, we've stored up a lot of dried meat during this time, so we won't have to worry about running out of meat along the way!"
