"Seal the city! Seal the city immediately!" the king shouted at the top of his lungs.
But it was too late. The nobles who usually lived in luxury were now more vulnerable than the common people. They were trapped in luxurious mansions and became the best prey for the zombies.
"Your Majesty! The Second Prince...The Second Prince is also infected!"
"The Third Prince's residence has fallen!"
"The whole family of the Royal Guard Commander... has turned into zombies!"
The king wept as he watched his carefully managed kingdom fall apart overnight.
"If I had known this..." he muttered to himself, "why would I care about those false reputations..."
Zhang Chen stood in front of the window, watching this extravagant capital city fall into madness. External enemies are easy to deal with, but internal troubles are the most deadly. This city may have been rotten for a long time.
"Father-in-law," he turned and said, "bring the important people with you and follow me."
"But...but this city..."
"As long as the green mountains remain," Zhang Chen said, "there will be no shortage of firewood."
The king looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly understood why he could stand firm in the apocalypse. It was not because of his strength, but because of his clear mind.
The screams in the city grew louder and louder, and the flames lit up half the sky. This once glorious capital was being devoured by the virus and madness.
"Aman!" Zhang Chen ordered in a deep voice, "Take the A-level psychics to set up defenses outside the palace. No infected people are allowed to enter!"
"Yes!" Aman took action immediately.
"Qionna, take the medical team to the east wing to set up a research lab."
"Understood!" Joanna led a team of researchers in white coats to act quickly.
Under Zhang Chen's command, the chaotic palace quickly restored order.
The psychics set up energy barriers on the city walls, and a blue light curtain enveloped the palace.
"Captain! A new variant has been discovered!" a researcher exclaimed.
"Send the sample!" Qiao Na immediately went to work. Under the microscope, the virus was mutating wildly.
The group of zombies outside kept attacking the energy barrier, making creepy roars.
"Leader!" Aman reported on the communicator, "Elite zombies appeared in the west, and three have been killed!"
Zhang Chen stood on a high place and gave calm instructions: "Fire-type psychics, please save your energy and wait for the opportunity to tire out. Water-type psychics, be ready to put out fires at any time."
"Report!" Xiao Xiangxiang came running over, "The underground laboratory has been built, and the first batch of antidotes are being tested!"
Inside the palace, the once extravagant banquet hall became a makeshift command center.
Beneath the magnificent decorations are busy figures.
"This batch of samples shows," Qiao Na pointed at the projection, "the virus can survive in the blood for 72 hours."
"Then hurry up," Zhang Chen said, "and try to develop an antidote before the virus mutates completely."
The king looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. He had ruled this city for decades, but was not as efficient as Zhang Chen's few hours.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a giant zombie crashed into the energy barrier.
"Fire-type psychics, get ready!" Aman gave the order.
"Fire flames start a prairie fire!"
Suddenly, a wall of fire blocked the zombies.
In the laboratory, Qiao Na led the team to work day and night. Under the microscope, the virus was constantly being decomposed and reassembled.
"We've made a discovery!" a researcher shouted excitedly, "This plant extract can inhibit viral activity!"
Zhang Chen walked to the window and looked at the fire outside. This city might be destroyed, but as long as there is hope, it is worth protecting.
"Report!" Zhao Kuangmo came running over breathlessly, "A tunnel was found in the south and has been blocked!"
"Very good," Zhang Chen nodded, "Continue patrolling."
Inside the palace, everything was in order.
In the end times, only under his leadership can there be such order.
"The antidote has been developed!" Qiao Na excitedly held up the test tube, "We can start mass production!"
Zhang Chen immediately ordered: "Activate the Royal Pharmacy and start production at full capacity."
"But..." the chief of the royal guards hesitated, "The royal pharmacy has never been open to the public..."
"This is an extraordinary period," Zhang Chen interrupted him, "living people are more important than rules."
The Duke and the Earl looked at each other in bewilderment. This young man was so resolute.
"General Zhang Chen is right!" The royal advisor stood up, "In the face of the end of the world, what do rules mean?"
"I agree," the Governor said, "Although General Zhang Chen is young, he cares about the people. I really admire him!"
At this moment, the Secretary of State, who was over 60 years old, stood up and said, "I am willing to take people to deliver the medicine!"
"Sir!" his attendant said anxiously, "It's too dangerous outside!"
"Humph!" The Secretary of State stroked his beard and said, "I have been an official all my life, I must do something for the people!"
Zhang Chen looked at the stubborn old man and shook his head, saying, "Master Taichang's intentions are commendable, but there are zombies everywhere outside now. Without the protection of a superpower, going out would be like going to die."
"But..."
"I have already arranged it," Zhang Chen said, "Each special ability team will be equipped with two medical staff, who are responsible for distributing the antidote. If Master Taichang wants to help, he can assist in packaging the medicine."
The Secretary of State was stunned.
This young man not only has courage, but also wisdom.
Chapter 732 Why Don’t I Dare?
"General Zhang Chen is right," the Minister of Personnel sighed, "I have lived for most of my life, but I am not as thoughtful as the young general."
"Drug packaging is also an important task," Zhang Chen continued, "and it requires an experienced person to coordinate. Master Taichang is knowledgeable and is the most suitable person."
The Secretary of State had tears in his eyes: "Thank you, General, for your understanding of me."
The king nodded repeatedly as he watched.
This son-in-law is not only capable, but also knows how to employ people.
It neither hurts the self-esteem of the old ministers nor puts people in the most suitable positions.
"Report!" A'man came in, "The first batch of antidotes has been sent out, and the number of infected people in the southern part of the city has decreased significantly!"
"Very good," Zhang Chen nodded, "Keep increasing your efforts."
The duke and the earl straightened their backs involuntarily as they looked at the young commander.
Under the leadership of Zhang Chen, this endangered city seems to have hope again.
"General Zhang Chen..." The major hesitated to speak.
"Sir, please speak."
"I...I was also a military man when I was young," the major said excitedly, "If the general doesn't mind, I'm willing to assist in logistics!"
"Okay!" Zhang Chen nodded, "Thank you, sir."
Gradually, those prime ministers who were originally high and mighty were impressed by Zhang Chen's abilities and personal charm.
They all volunteered to do their part to save the city.
The king watched all this with a gleam of relief in his eyes.
This young man is worthy of being the son-in-law he has chosen.
Late at night, a loud noise suddenly came from the west side of the palace.
"Oh no! The city gate is opened!"
Countless zombies poured in like a tide, and the originally tight defense line was broken in an instant.
"Protect His Majesty!" The guards rushed to the imperial study.
But it was too late.
"Cough cough..." The king fell in a pool of blood with a poisoned dagger stuck in his chest.
"Father!" The eldest prince rushed in, crying, "Who is it? Who is so bold!"
"Report... Report!" A guard stumbled over, "Poison was found in... in General Zhang Chen's camp!"
"What?" The eldest prince was furious. "Zhang Chen? Is he the foreigner?"
"Not only that," the second prince also appeared, "the key to open the city gate was also found in his camp!"
The court officials were in an uproar.
"It's him!" The Third Prince gnashed his teeth, "Father treated him like a distinguished guest, but he repaid his kindness with hatred!"
"Capture Zhang Chen!" the eldest prince ordered sternly.
Zhang Chen stood there, watching this clumsy performance coldly.
"Have you guys performed enough?" he asked calmly.
"How dare you!" the eldest prince shouted angrily, "Your father's life is at stake, and you still dare to quibble?"
"Ha," Zhang Chen sneered, "You planted the poison and you also planted the key. This scene was well acted."
"How dare you!" The Second Prince drew his sword, "Come here! Capture this traitor!"
The guards approached with swords drawn.
"Wait!" a weak voice sounded.
The king struggled to raise his head: "Zhang... Zhang Chen will not... harm me..."
"Father!" The eldest prince knelt down hypocritically, "Please stop talking!"
"It's... it's you..." The king pointed at the eldest prince, "You... want... the throne..."
"Father! You are confused!" The eldest prince panicked.
"I have seen through it..." the king said with difficulty, "This corrupt system... should end..."
"Shut up!" The eldest prince's expression suddenly changed. "You old fool! Why would you pass the throne to an outsider?"
The truth finally emerged.
"The end of the world is approaching," the eldest prince laughed grimly, "the rule of the royal family should have ended long ago!"
"Someone come!" He waved his hand, "Kill Zhang Chen!"
In the dark and damp dungeon, Zhang Chen leaned against the wall with a faint smile on his lips.
The iron chains rattled, and a petite figure suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Chief!" Xiao Xiangxiang blinked her big eyes, "Sister Misha said that the activity has been completed!"
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Xiao Xiangxiang leaned close to his ear and whispered playfully, "The underground vault in the Royal Guards' house has three floors! Now it's all emptied!"
"The Governor's house is even more outrageous," she continued. "There are two dark rooms just for agate!"
"Master Taifu is the best," Xiao Xiangxiang counted on her fingers, "The gold in his basement is enough to buy half a city!"
Zhang Chen chuckled: "These greedy guys have saved us a lot of trouble."
"Sister Misha said," Xiao Xiangxiang shook her head proudly, "All the treasures in the treasury have been moved, even the Queen Mother's dressing table was not spared!"
"Those dukes and earls are still fighting for the throne," she curled her lips, "not knowing that their nests have been emptied out!"
Zhang Chen stood up and gently hugged the lively girl: "Well done."
Xiao Xiangxiang blushed immediately: "Chief...Chief..."
"Let's go," Zhang Chen said with a smile, "It's time to say goodbye to this decayed city."
"Yes!" Xiao Xiangxiang nodded, "I'll take you to the tunnel!"
The ground suddenly cracked, forming a passage. Zhang Chen hugged Xiao Xiangxiang and went underground gracefully.
