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

Wow~
On the vast ocean, the sea breeze blows incessantly, and the waves crash against the surface. Every now and then, sea monsters burst out of the water, but before they can get close, they are swarmed by the surrounding sea monster corpses and torn to pieces.

"Based on the time it took us to get here, this voyage will probably take about a month!"
Ten days have passed since we returned from the Island of Ruins, which means we only have three or four days left to return to the mainland!

Looking at the endless blue sea ahead, Lu Chuan estimated in his mind that it would take them about a certain amount of time to return to the mainland.

He was just too bored.

On this vast and boundless sea, apart from the occasional sea monster that comes out to seek death, there are almost no other living creatures to be seen. After traveling for such a long time, if Lu Chuan hadn't had Zhao Lin and Xiao Qiqi with him, he would have gone crazy with frustration long ago.

Lu Chuan turned around and looked at Zhao Lin and the other person sitting cross-legged opposite him.

"It seems we're not far from reaching the eighth rank."

The next moment, his gaze locked onto Zhao Lin, sensing the aura emanating from her that was close to the eighth rank, and he thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhao Lin was naturally unaware that Lu Chuan was observing her. She was currently focused on mobilizing the spiritual energy within her body and continuously refining the energy of the energy potion.

In order to break through to the eighth level as soon as possible, she has been making the most of every minute of her cultivation during this period, consuming twice as many energy potions as Ji Ruxue every day.

Ji Ruxue, who was sitting cross-legged opposite Zhao Lin, was holding a jade slip in her hand and was engrossed in comprehending its contents.

During this period, apart from cultivation, she spent almost all her remaining time on the jade slips she obtained from the ruins.

In her previous life, she was very interested in many of the cultivation techniques and combat skills contained in these jade slips, but unfortunately, she was able to obtain very few jade slips.

Now that she has such an opportunity, she naturally won't let it slip by.

Meanwhile, on their way back to the mainland, Lu Chuan and his two companions were unaware that a tremendous change had already taken place on the mainland.

Shortly after the three left the mainland and entered the East Sea, a large number of alien races emerged from the spatial rifts, more than ten times larger than before.

After these alien races entered this world, they naturally began to squeeze the living space of the original human race. The intensity of the conflict between the two sides increased several times in an instant, and fierce battles occurred frequently.

The ongoing war severely damaged the unprepared human race, resulting in the deaths and injuries of a large number of evolved humans and military personnel.

In order to deal with the increasing number of alien races, the human race had no choice but to fight with all their might, even mobilizing the entire population to become soldiers, distributing firearms to every survivor, and relying on the high walls of the base city to put up a desperate resistance when the alien army attacked.

While this method temporarily halted the alien invasion and prevented any human bases from being breached, the human race was clearly at a disadvantage against the massive and ever-growing alien forces.

It is foreseeable that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the decline of the human race is only a matter of time.

Once humanity is defeated, facing bloodthirsty alien races, there is only one outcome: extinction of the race!

Humanity had no good solution to this, and could only hold onto its last trump card—human strategic weapons—preparing to deliver the heaviest blow to the alien race at the most critical moment.

However, misfortune never comes singly. Just as the human race was suffering repeated defeats against the alien army, the even more terrifying Void Insectoids descended on a large scale.

After the Void Insects descended on a large scale, they began to wreak havoc across the entire continent, mercilessly slaughtering any living creatures they encountered. Before long, many places on the continent were left empty by these Void Insects.

Faced with the powerful and numerous Void Zerg, the Terrans, who previously relied on firearms to fight other races, found it difficult to resist and had no effective way to suppress the Zerg's numerical advantage.

As a result, within just over ten days, many of the human race's base cities were destroyed by the Void Zerg.

In an instant, humanity suffered a devastating blow, with countless survivors perishing and being devoured by the Void Zerg. At this moment, in the Black Province, north of humanity, lies the Qingming Base City.

Now, the entire city is eerily quiet, with a chilling atmosphere permeating the air.

A large number of evolved humans and military soldiers stood on the city wall, ready for battle, their faces serious and their eyes filled with determination.

Behind, inside the command post.

With a full head of white hair and a gloomy face, the chief of Qingming Base City looked around at the group of high-ranking officials and said in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, Luming Base City in front of my base city was breached by the Blazing Insect Clan three hours ago, and all the survivors in the city were slaughtered."

Currently, the remaining Blazing Insects are advancing towards our Azure Nether Base City. At their speed, they should arrive here in about three hours.

That means we only have three hours to evacuate.

After the Voidlings descended on a large scale, the Terran race specifically classified and named these Voidlings based on their characteristics.

For example, the Blazing Insects are a type of Void Insects. Not only are their bodies scorching hot like magma, but they can also self-destruct.

Its self-destruction power is no less than that of a heavy bomb, and it also has its own combustion properties.

"In the next three hours, we must do everything in our power to evacuate all survivors from the city," the base city leader continued.

Listening to the words of the city's leader, all the high-ranking officials had gloomy faces and heavy hearts, feeling immense pressure.

This is the Zerg, after all. To date, more than twenty base cities have been destroyed by the Zerg.

"Sir, three hours may not be enough..."

At this moment, a high-ranking official with a grim expression spoke with difficulty.

"I know that in three hours, we can only rely on the Evolver team and the military soldiers to buy us time." Upon hearing this, the city leader felt a pang of pain in his heart and shook his head helplessly.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Fire! Fire!"

On the city wall, looking at the rapidly spreading "crimson waves" in the sky ahead, the senior officer in charge let out a hoarse roar.

Bang bang bang~
The next moment, guns roared and cannons roared, and a massive barrage of firepower poured down on the swarm of Exploding Insects.

Rumble~
In an instant, a large number of Blazing Insects were hit and exploded into fireballs.

Unfortunately, the swarm was too large. Even with tens of thousands of them dying, it still surged forward unstoppably, quickly engulfing the entire city wall.

Rumble~
With a massive self-destruction of the Blazing Insectoids, the entire city wall instantly transformed into a sea of ​​hellfire...

Half an hour later, news of the destruction of Qingming Base City spread rapidly.
