CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 353: ZHAO LIN: XIAO QIQI, I’M LEAVING!

Li River Base City, inside the meeting room.

The Soaring Dragon Squad and some high-ranking officials of the Base City were seated on both sides, with the leader of the Base City sitting at the head.

"Captain Li, take a look at this report!

This Zombie King has secretly infiltrated our Li River City recently, and we’ve only just discovered it, so we don’t know much about it.

However, yesterday, our Base City suffered heavy losses at the hands of this Zombie King. After a fierce battle, we’ve learned more about this Zombie King.

The report records the previous locations of the Zombie King, the battle process yesterday, and a detailed analysis of the abilities of the Zombie King and its subordinate high-level zombies."

The leader of the Base City pushed a report towards Li Heng and solemnly said.

"Alright, give me a few minutes."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng quickly took the report and eagerly began to examine it.

"This Zombie King’s subordinates actually have fifth-tier evolved zombies? Their flying abilities are extremely strong, and they possess powerful flame abilities..."

Seeing the content inside, Li Heng’s heart skipped a beat, his expression turned serious, and he looked in disbelief at the Base City leader.

Such strength is completely beyond what the Soaring Dragon Squad can handle head-on!

Fortunately, he wasn’t planning to face them head-on. With Zhao Bin’s disguise ability, as long as the execution is good, there’s still a great chance to assassinate the Zombie King amidst the group of high-level zombies.

"Exactly, this Zombie King’s fifth-tier evolved zombies are numerous, and there are even fifth-tier evolved zombies, possibly more than just one."

The leader of the Base City beside Li Heng nodded gravely.

If the Zombie King wasn’t so terrifying, given the enmity between both sides, the Li River Base City would have long mobilized the entire army to crush the Zombie King with firepower, rather than seeking aid from the Imperial Capital.

A few minutes later, having understood the relevant situation, Li Heng closed the report in his hands, his face stern. He looked at the opposite Base City leader and said, "Leader, I have a general understanding of the situation. Rest assured, for the blood feud of thousands of compatriots in the Base City, the Soaring Dragon Squad will definitely avenge them!"

"Captain Li, be careful!"

Upon hearing this, the Base City leader’s expression changed slightly, nodded, and said in a deep voice.

After the meeting ended, the Soaring Dragon Squad immediately sprang into action.

Li River City district.

After Lu Chuan and his group left, the entire city finally regained its calm, no longer disturbed by the massive commotion caused by the Corpse Puppets hunting zombies.

A large number of zombies roamed the streets, even those originally cleared by Base City troops and Lu Chuan now had zombies appearing again.

Hengye District.

After the fierce battle, the devastation left around the district remained as glaring as ever.

The ground was covered with gruesome charred corpses, dark red bloodstains and blood mire spread everywhere, surrounding the corpse fragments and blood mire were swarming mosquitoes and flies, casting a dark cloud that buzzed incessantly.

Burnt-out shattered war vehicles lay overturned on the sides of the road, and the air was filled with an acrid stench of decay.

A few hundred meters away at a corner, a flash of brown-yellow spiritual light appeared, and two figures dressed in combat uniforms emerged from the ground.

One of them emitted a brown-yellow spiritual light all over his body, tightly gripping the arm of the person next to him, covering the spiritual light over them.

Evidently, he had awakened the talent ability of Earth Escape.

The other person looked rather odd, resembling a normal human but with a dog’s nose on his face and eyes sharp like a hawk’s.

Meanwhile, he possessed pointed, furry ears resembling some kind of beast’s ears.

The two were members of the Soaring Dragon Squad, tasked with scouting the Zombie King’s situation in the city.

At this moment, the two were observing Hengye District ahead, without making any rash moves.

The oddly-featured team member’s dog nose twitched, furry ears slightly moved, and his expression suddenly shifted as he looked at Hengye District ahead, frowning.

"Lu Mountain, how is it? Any findings?"

The Earth Diver beside him asked in a low voice.

"Zhang Li, something’s wrong, there’s no movement inside at all..."

Lu Mountain shook his head and replied.

"What? Could it have already left?"

Zhang Li’s expression changed, turning unpleasant.

"Very likely. From the scent... it seems like it went in that direction. Let’s follow it and see!"

Lu Mountain sniffed with his dog’s nose, indicating a direction.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Li led Lu Mountain, escaping into the earth, chasing in the pointed direction.

Ten minutes later, the two stopped on a road on the city’s outermost area, both with very grim expressions.

"Let’s hurry back to report to the captain that the Zombie King has already left the city!"

...

Two days later, Lu Chuan had already taken Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin deep into the outskirts, finally selecting a town as a temporary refuge.

After clearing out the zombies in the town, the three settled down with ease.

On the outskirts of the town, in a spacious courtyard.

Zhao Lin, curious about Ji Ruxue’s power, issued a challenge to her.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, do we really have to fight?"

Ji Ruxue looked at the battle-intent-filled Zhao Lin in front of her, asking somewhat helplessly.

Zhao Lin, being only a fourth-tier Evolver, was certainly no match for her; wasn’t she just looking for a beating?

Moreover, Ji Ruxue really didn’t want to fight Zhao Lin, fearing she’d hurt Zhao Lin’s self-esteem.

"Little Qiqi, go all out, let Auntie see your prowess!"

Zhao Lin nodded affirmatively and said.

"But..." Ji Ruxue felt Zhao Lin was unusually odd today, reluctant to strike.

Her Talent Abilities, Time Control and Telekinesis Control, were overwhelmingly powerful, and once deployed, it was a one-sided situation.

"Here I come!"

Unexpectedly, before Ji Ruxue finished speaking, Zhao Lin charged forward, lightning-fast.

Perhaps fearing injuring Ji Ruxue, Zhao Lin didn’t draw the steel knife at her waist but instead attacked Ji Ruxue with bare fists.

"..."

Seeing this, Ji Ruxue was speechless; it seemed not attacking was not an option.

Since you want to see my strength, I won’t hold back then.

In the next moment, Ji Ruxue’s eyes flashed brilliantly, her powerful telekinesis surged out, overwhelming and crashing towards Zhao Lin.

Boom!

In an instant, Zhao Lin, originally charging forward, seemed to collide with an invisible sturdy wall, the whole body jolted, halted instantly, and following a cry of pain, was flung away.

Bang!

The body landed on a soft vegetable patch, and Zhao Lin let out a pained grunt, but Ji Ruxue had gone easy on her, leaving Zhao Lin’s body with no injuries.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, are you alright?"

Ji Ruxue quickly ran over.

Slowly getting up from the ground, Zhao Lin recognized the prowess of Little Qiqi.

Looking at the Little Qiqi before her, Zhao Lin’s expression became complicated, eyes filled with reluctance and nostalgia.

"Little Qiqi, I have to go."
