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

Chapter 341 Dad, I'll protect you from now on!
Lu Chuan's mind was completely blank. Looking at the innocent-looking Xiao Qiqi in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.

That's a fifth-tier item!

The fifth-tier evolver was none other than Xiao Qiqi, his beloved daughter who had been with him day and night. This contrast was something Lu Chuan found hard to accept.

How could Xiao Qiqi possibly be a fifth-tier powerhouse?

Ji Ruxue knew how much this news would affect her father, so she didn't say anything to disturb him. She stood there quietly, waiting for her father to calm down.

Several minutes passed before Lu Chuan recovered and basically believed Xiao Qiqi's explanation that the other party was a fifth-order evolver.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't, because the death of that fourth-tier mutated pangolin was the best proof. Only someone with the strength of a fifth-tier expert could easily kill a mutated pangolin under those conditions.

At that time, Lu Chuan was the only one with fifth-level strength on that mountain road, and he naturally knew that he had not made a move.

The Beast King Cult leader is only at the fourth level and would not attack his own beasts. Zhao Lin is also only at the fourth level. Therefore, the most likely culprit is Xiao Qiqi.

However, Lu Chuan immediately had another question in his mind. It hadn't been long since Xiao Qiqi awakened her talent, so how could her strength have increased so quickly?
Back on the farm, Xiao Qiqi was only a first-tier evolver. How did she rise to the fifth tier in such a short time?

It should be noted that even Lu Chuan himself was able to successfully break through to the fifth rank by consuming a large number of crystal cores.

Fifth-tier evolvers are extremely rare these days.

Xiao Qiqi is a human child who can neither directly devour crystal cores nor has a large supply of gene evolution potions. The speed at which her strength is increasing seems rather abnormal!
Lu Chuan always felt that Xiao Qiqi had other secrets, otherwise, some things just wouldn't make sense.

However, Lu Chuan did not press the matter further, as he was already very pleased that Xiao Qiqi had taken the initiative to confess her talent today.

Since Xiao Qiqi didn't want to say more, Lu Chuan didn't need to press her for details. He believed that Xiao Qiqi would tell him in the future.

After his initial shock at hearing that Xiao Qiqi was at level five, Lu Chuan, having recovered, couldn't help but feel happy for her.

This is a fifth-tier evolved being. With Xiao Qiqi's talent and abilities, if he were to go all out, none of his fifth-tier corpse puppets might be able to withstand it.

Even without his protection, with Xiao Qiqi's strength, she will still be able to thrive in this apocalyptic world.

At the same time, Lu Chuan felt a sense of urgency regarding his own strength. Even little Qi Qi was already at the fifth level. If he didn't want Qi Qi to surpass him, he would have to work harder.

What if, by then, I can't even beat Xiao Qiqi...

On the other hand, after Ji Ruxue confessed some of her secrets to her father, she felt much better and was no longer as conflicted as before.

Now that her abilities have been revealed, she no longer needs to hide her actions or be afraid of her father finding out.

Previously, watching her father and Zhao Lin fight the enemy in front, Ji Ruxue would often be reminded of her fighting desires from her past life, and she would also want to go up and fight. However, she was worried that her strength could not be exposed, so she always endured it.

Now, things are different. She can kill enemies at will and protect her father openly and honestly during battles.

As a fifth-tier evolver, with my protection, my father, who relies solely on his physical body to fight, will be much safer.

"Oh right, I won't need to ask Dad for crystal cores anymore when I feed the old tortoise. I can just hunt ferocious beasts and zombies." Thinking of this, Ji Ruxue raised her head again, revealing an innocent smile. She raised her pink little fist at Lu Chuan and said loudly, "Daddy, I'm so awesome! I'll protect you from now on!"

Hearing Xiao Qiqi's words, Jiang Che felt a warmth in his heart, and then looked at Xiao Qiqi with affection, rubbing the little guy's head.

Not only is his little Qiqi adorable and loved by everyone, but she is also very sensible and even protects her father... Lu Chuan was overjoyed, and the slight knot in his heart that Qiqi had been hiding was completely untied.

Yes, Xiao Qiqi has a secret, but so what?
As long as she's my daughter, why should I care about anything else?

You should know that he rescued Xiao Qiqi from an environment surrounded by zombies. In the Jiangnan city, the father and daughter depended on each other for survival.

Xiao Qiqi already treats him, the zombie king, as her real father, and he also regards Xiao Qiqi as his own daughter.

Although there is no blood relation between them, the father-daughter relationship between him and Xiao Qiqi is genuine.

With a smile, Lu Chuan continued writing on the paper: "Alright, Xiao Qiqi, I already know what you wanted to tell Daddy. Go back to your bedroom and go to sleep! Staying up late isn't good for a child!"

"Dad, Xiao Qiqi is definitely a good child. I'm going back to sleep now."

Feeling much more relieved, Ji Ruxue smiled brightly upon seeing the words on the paper and nodded sharply.

Immediately, she took two short steps and rushed to the bedroom. After climbing onto the bed, she covered herself with the blanket.

"Daddy, it's time for Xiaoqiqi to go to sleep!"

Ji Ruxue pulled back the covers, said something, and then covered her face again.

Following behind, Lu Chuan walked slowly over. Seeing that Xiao Qiqi was really sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but smile. He quietly left the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Afterwards, Lu Chuan walked to the sofa, lay down, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to manipulate his fourth-order corpse puppets to clean up the entire neighborhood under the cover of night.

Hengye Residential Area is a residential complex consisting of nine identical buildings.

Lu Chuan had only cleared the apartment building where he lived; there were still quite a few zombies in the remaining eight apartment buildings.

After all, they will definitely be living in Hengye Community for a while, so cleaning up the community will save them trouble.

A moment later, at Lu Chuan's command, one after another fourth-tier corpse puppets rushed into the corridor and began a series of massacres.

The roars of zombies suddenly rang out throughout the neighborhood, but unfortunately, they all stopped abruptly after just one roar.

Half an hour later, all eight buildings were cleared, and Lu Chuan then dispatched a group of zombie puppets to the area around the community to clear out the zombies there as well.

They live in a residential area, and it's impossible for them not to make noise. To prevent the zombies wandering around the perimeter from hearing the noise and coming over, they should kill them first.
