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

Chapter 419 Preparing to Abandon the Entire Jiang Province!

After carefully questioning Xiao Qiqi without getting any further information, Lu Chuan smiled and told Xiao Qiqi to go back to her room to rest.

Ji Ruxue nodded and obediently went upstairs to her bedroom.

After watching Xiao Qiqi go upstairs, Lu Chuan walked to the sofa and sat down.

The next moment, Lu Chuan closed his eyes and focused his mind, his own consciousness beginning to connect with the evolved corpse puppets under his command.

Immediately, the corpse puppets that had been standing still began to move, boarding the transport convoy and heading to the Li River to hunt again.

Right now, the best way for Lu Chuan to quickly improve his strength is naturally to focus on managing the zombie breeding base.

With ample food, a large number of evolved zombies were cultivated, enabling the breeding base to accelerate the supply of crystal cores.

Only a large number of fourth-order crystal cores can enable Lu Chuan's corpse puppets to quickly advance to the fifth order.

Only with a substantial number of Tier 5 zombie puppets will Lu Chuan have the opportunity to obtain enough Tier 5 crystal cores to help him advance to Tier 6 evolved zombie and cultivate powerful Tier 6 zombie puppets!
The next day.

Rumble~
The convoy slowly drove into Yuhua Base City. Captain Zhao Lin finally led her teammates back to Yuhua Base City.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Lin remained calm, with a barely perceptible expectation in her eyes, while the remaining Evolver team members all had stiff expressions and unpleasant faces.

Ultimately, the plan to make Thunder Roar and the Zombie King mutually weaken each other fell through.

They even managed to subdue Thunder Roar, making it even stronger than before. How could they possibly be happy about that?

Chi~
The convoy stopped inside the military camp.

"Alright, everyone must be tired from the long journey. Let's go back and rest! I'll report on this mission to the leaders!"

After getting off the vehicle, Zhao Lin looked at her team members, who all looked lifeless, shook her head helplessly, said a few words to them, and without caring how they responded, turned around and walked out of the military camp.

Fifteen minutes later, in the conference room of the official residence.

At this moment, a large conference table was already full of people, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"...That's how it is. Not only did we fail to eliminate Thunder Roar and the Zombie King, but the Zombie King also managed to subdue Thunder Roar..."

Zhao Lin looked at the group of senior executives who were staring at her, her expression serious, and said in a deep voice.

She had already recounted the entire course of this mission to everyone.

After Zhao Lin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became incredibly oppressive.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied; some were utterly shocked, some felt powerless to turn around, and some even had despair in their eyes, as if the destruction of the base city was imminent...

"I didn't expect... the Zombie King to be so strong, quickly defeating Thunder Roar. This... sigh, it seems we were too naive!"

After a long silence, the leader, as the highest-ranking official in the base city, spoke first. He looked at everyone, his expression solemn, sighed, and said.

Previously, when these base cities devised the plan to have both Thunder Roar and the Zombie King suffer heavy losses, it was because they believed that both Thunder Roar and the Zombie King were in the fifth tier, and that ferocious beasts were generally stronger than evolved zombies of the same level.

Therefore, they thought that even if the Zombie King had some fifth-tier evolved zombies under his command, the situation would most likely be a draw when facing Thunder Roar. But they never expected that the Zombie King's strength was so much greater than Thunder Roar's, even to the point that Thunder Roar was completely powerless to fight back.

"This time, we underestimated the strength of the zombie king, so Commander Zhao and the others' defeat was not due to a lack of skill!"
"I'm afraid this situation would have been the same no matter who went. Furthermore, this time, if Commander Zhao hadn't broken through to the fifth rank at the crucial moment, it might not have even been possible to lure Thunder Roar to the Zombie King."

At this moment, a senior executive nodded and praised Zhao Lin.

Upon hearing this, others also spoke up, expressing their own opinions, with most praising Zhao Lin.

As expected, Zhao Lin responded with a smile, displaying confidence and composure.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Commander Zhao actually did a great job on this mission. The base city should not only not blame him, but should also give him a big reward."

A few minutes later, the leader spoke, silencing the high-ranking officials. He looked around at everyone and then said solemnly, "However, the zombie king is still not dealt with. He is treacherous and cunning, and he will never forget the slightest thing. This time, our actions may not be able to hide from this beast."

Just in case, we might need to contact the higher-ups in other base cities to discuss whether we can evacuate Jiang Province together.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, not expecting that their leader already had the idea of ​​withdrawing from Jiang Province.

After a moment, a high-ranking official, who had recovered from his shock, hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying, "I agree with this. The zombie king has now become a force to be reckoned with and is beyond the capabilities of our base cities. Furthermore, the capital city is unable to provide assistance, so evacuation is the best option."

“I agree. Since the zombie king has taken up residence in Lijiang Base City, it means that he will definitely regard Jiang Province as his own territory in the future.”

Rather than living in fear here, it's better to evacuate as soon as possible. That way, our base cities can still preserve their vitality.

Another high-ranking official echoed this sentiment.

Next, the other senior officials all nodded, and no one objected to the leader's suggestion to evacuate.

The pressure that the zombie king put on the higher-ups was simply too great.

The Thunder Roar that had previously left them helpless was already a headache enough, but the Zombie King was able to subdue it. This shows just how terrifying the Zombie King must be.
"Evacuate Jiang Province...that's fine too."

Hearing what everyone was saying, Zhao Lin, who was standing next to them, had a slight change in her gaze.

This is a good thing for both sides, as it will widen the distance between Lu Chuan and the human race, preventing further conflict between them.

She didn't want to see Lu Chuan fighting with humans anymore. Now that humans had made concessions and handed over such a large territory as Jiang Province to Lu Chuan, she was naturally happy to accept it.

After a discussion among the high-ranking officials, and the evacuation plan was finalized, the leader looked at Zhao Lin again, forcing a smile on his face and said, "Commander Zhao, although this time our objective was not achieved, your achievements cannot be ignored."

"Your strength is formidable; you've reached the fifth rank. From now on, the entire evolutionary team of the base city will be under your command!"

"Yes, thank you for your trust, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin was overjoyed and quickly stood up to bow.

Commanding the entire evolved human squadron of the base city, this represents the highest level of military power controlling the entire base city. In terms of status, they would definitely rank among the top three in the upper echelons.
