A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 263 If ​​I Don't Come Back This Time, Don't Look for Me (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Immediately afterwards, more screams echoed through the mountains and forests. Upon hearing them, Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao, who were nearby, rushed over to check the situation.

But what happened next shocked them all!
Countless rotting corpses crawled out of the deep red scorched earth.

The "resurrected" corpses were like ravenous wolves, grabbing at living people and tearing them apart.

Severed arms, legs, and limbs lay scattered haphazardly on the ground, and brain matter was also sucked out and was everywhere.

Even more terrifying is that after the orcs that were devoured died, they soon stood up unsteadily and became the second batch of undead!

The third batch...

The fourth batch...

more and more!

"Don't linger in battle, return to the city! All orcs, return to the city immediately!!!" Lu Xiao quickly snapped out of his daze at the bizarre scene and immediately ordered all the orcs outside to return to the imperial city.

Upon returning to the city, they quickly checked on the injured orcs.

The orc who had been bitten by the zombies was isolated in a cage.

Soon, these orcs began to mutate and become corrupted. They could not be killed even by piercing their skulls; the only way to kill them was to use bombs to blast them into pieces of flesh and blood.

All the orcs who died in the war, whose bodies were buried in the mass graves, will rise from the earth after tonight and become immortal undead.

Any orc bitten by them, or any creature contaminated by their blood, would turn into a living corpse.

Wild beasts, birds, insects...

Like a virus that suddenly broke out, it quickly swept and spread, bringing unprecedented panic!
The orcs were no match for these undead at all; no, they couldn't even fight back. They were completely crushed and devoured!
Snow Hidden Boat's ability can devour these zombies, but there are too many of them. As long as there is even one zombie left, it can assimilate tens of thousands of creatures in a short time, making it impossible to kill them all.

Within just three days, the area outside the imperial city turned into a living hell, and no one dared to go out anymore.

Food and water supplies were cut off, and the city was filled with a deathly atmosphere.

When Shen Tang woke up, she was greeted with this bad news.

She rushed to the city wall and was deeply shocked by the scene outside the city.

For a moment, she thought she had stepped into a zombie movie.

Seeing this scene in person is a million times more terrifying than anything in the movies!
The area outside the imperial city has completely become zombie territory.

This group of undead came on strong, and no one knew where they came from or how to defeat them.

This is an invincible army of zombies!

Late at night, the generals were discussing countermeasures in the military camp.

Some people grew white hair in their anxiety, looking as if they had aged ten years overnight.

"Your Highness, what should we do? What are we to do? Are we really going to become food for these living dead?!"

"I don't want to become one of these monsters after I die!"

"But what should we do? We can't win at all."

Everyone looked at Shen Tang, waiting for her decision.

Unbeknownst to many, this princess had already become the backbone of all the orcs in the city, and their only hope.

The crowd pleaded with Shen Tang to issue an order on whether to continue defending the city.

One of the generals proudly pounded his chest and solemnly declared, "As long as Your Highness gives the order, we will lead our troops to defend the imperial city to the death, and we will do everything in our power!"

Shen Tang looked at all the soldiers present, all of whom were loyal generals and ministers who had fought alongside her, as well as tens of thousands of warriors who had risked their lives in the field. They were all waiting for her, waiting for her to say a word tonight.

All she needs is a word to defend the city!
They will continue to guard the imperial city, fearless even in the face of death!
Shen Tang took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again, heartbroken.

He uttered the command that no one wanted to believe.

"Abandon the capital and retreat with the entire army!"

For a moment, everyone present fell silent; you could hear a pin drop. A few breaths later, a huge uproar erupted!

"Your Highness, you mustn't! The imperial city is the foundation of the empire. If even we leave, the imperial city will truly be finished!"

"We are not here today because we are cowards; we are willing to defend the imperial city to the death!"

Shen Tang looked at them and said in a deep voice, "I know you are all soldiers who are loyal to the empire, but the empire does not need blindly loyal people."

"I've seen the situation, and I can tell everyone here very clearly: this imperial city! We cannot defend it!"

"This army of undead is coming on strong! The rebels released these monsters to completely breach the imperial city!" "Victory or defeat is secondary. As long as we and our people are still here, the empire will exist forever. What we need to do is to preserve our strength so that we can have a chance to rise again! Since they want the imperial city, then let them have this empty city!"

Her words were deliberate and resounding.

"Tonight, heed my command: the entire army shall retreat!"

Shen Tang couldn't risk his own life, the lives of the beastmen, and the lives of the thousands of civilians and soldiers in the city to gamble on a game he was destined to lose.

This time, she was very clear that the imperial city truly could not be defended.

Then give up completely.

Move to a new position!

When the military order reached the hearts of everyone in the capital, it stirred up a storm of emotions.

They had defended the imperial city for so long, but one day, they still couldn't escape the fate of being captured.

They were unwilling to accept it, and were deeply saddened.

The imperial city is the homeland where these orcs grew up, so how could they just leave? Some would rather die here than leave.

But compared to all the obsessions they can't let go of, Shen Tang is now a higher obsession in the hearts of the people.

Her current prestige has surpassed that of the reigning emperor.

Under her command, within a single night, all the orcs in the city packed their bags and began their escape.

The area outside the city was completely overrun by the zombie horde. Shen Tang originally wanted to escape through the underground tunnel, only to find that the tunnel had been discovered and destroyed.

There is no other way.

The only option is to force a breakthrough.

She ordered all forces to be assembled and forcefully break through the encirclement of the zombie horde.

At the same time, open the city gates and let in as many undead legions as possible.

Through everyone's efforts, at the cost of losing nearly half of their troops, they fought their way out of the encirclement after three days and three nights.

This ending wasn't perfect, but it was better than total annihilation.

"boom!"

"Bang!!"

"Rumble--"

Behind me came a series of deafening explosions and collapses, the air thick with smoke.

The countless bombs they had planted in the imperial city were all detonated in an instant.

The imperial city, which had not yet been rebuilt, along with that army of undead, was completely reduced to ruins of its former glory.

The battle for the imperial city has now come to an end.

……

Hearing the roar behind him, Yun Han stopped and turned to look at the imperial city, which was gradually collapsing into ruins amidst the billowing smoke, getting further and further away. He clenched his fists at his sides, and a deep sorrow flashed in his eyes.

Soon, Yun Han fell to the back of the group and did not continue forward.

He summoned his men and instructed them, "Continue with the group and protect Father."

Lin Yu instantly understood his implied meaning and asked in shock and confusion, "And what about you, Young Master?"

Yun Han clenched his fists, lowered his head to hide the sorrow in his eyes, and said firmly in a deep voice, "Qing Li is still in the hands of the rebels. I can't leave. I have to go and save her."

"Young Master! It's too dangerous! Let's inform the Princess and the Clan Head first, then we can discuss it further..."

"This is my own decision, and I don't need to tell anyone else. Qingli is my partner, and I can't abandon her!" Yun Han made up her mind. "This time, you don't need to come with me. I'll go by myself!"

Lin Yu and the others were even more shocked upon hearing this. Before they could speak, Yun Han interrupted them in a deep voice, brooking no argument, "This is my order!"

"If I do not return this time, tell the princess and my father not to come looking for me."

After saying that, Yun Han transformed into his beast form, turned around, and left, disappearing into the distant horizon.
