CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: NEW TYPE OF ZOMBIE—TYRANT

The next day.

After the police invaded the district yesterday, Lu Chuan was furious and prepared to take over the police station with his Corpse Puppets.

However, the formidable strength Zhao Lin displayed last night made Lu Chuan reconsider and abandon this plan.

He hadn’t expected this female officer to be so abnormal, dying so many times yet still capable of reviving and growing stronger.

With such a powerful Evolver in command, plus the possibility of other officers in the station, Lu Chuan had no absolute confidence he could take them down.

The most crucial issue is that an Evolver can continuously break through and advance. If this female officer escapes, it would be a hidden threat.

Lu Chuan prefers to eliminate threats completely, ensuring no latent dangers remain.

The problem is... this female officer can resurrect...

Lu Chuan now even hesitated to kill her completely, fearing that she would revive right after being killed.

He never imagined that the female officer whom he casually killed with one blow upon their first meeting would become such a vexing presence.

Not killing her leaves a threat that could potentially harm him.

Killing her might even help her evolve faster, making her even stronger...

Right, next time I encounter her, I’ll just break her limbs to restrict her movement; if killing her makes her stronger, why not just avoid killing her?

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan nodded with satisfaction. Dealing with someone who can revive, just make sure she can’t use her Resurrection Ability.

Lu Chuan didn’t believe that this woman could restore her body to normal if she was left in a half-dead state.

However, there was another concern troubling Lu Chuan.

Standing on the balcony, Lu Chuan looked down at the district and the surrounding streets, his crimson eyes filled with solemnity.

Yesterday, Zhao Lin’s mysterious shout was, in Lu Chuan’s view, definitely not without basis.

This means there’s another, even more mysterious Evolver around Sunshine District, besides the strange female officer!

His controlled Da Pang suddenly stalled, allowing the female officer to avoid a fatal blow.

Coupled with her nonsensical words, Lu Chuan was convinced that there might be other Human Evolvers around who could evade his detection.

Crucially, these two Human Evolvers appeared to be helping each other, standing united to confront him...

"Who did I provoke?"

"I’m just guarding my own district, why do Evolvers keep showing up to trouble me?!"

Lu Chuan was exasperated; he had discovered the Survivor Base long ago but didn’t bother them.

He just wanted to live peacefully with Little Qiqi, but unexpectedly found himself being coveted.

If he had occupied some strategic location, that would be one thing, but what value does this rundown district have?!

Enough to warrant two such monstrous Evolvers working together?!

After venting helplessly, Lu Chuan’s mind became heavier. Recent events made him feel the onset of a crisis, filling him with unease.

Originally, having advanced to the second stage and controlling three Evolved Zombies and over twenty ordinary zombies was considered a formidable force to him.

Yet the abnormal Evolvers he encountered recently made Lu Chuan realize his strength was still insufficient; he urgently needed to enhance his power.

As a zombie, the only way to increase his strength is through constantly devouring Crystal Cores.

Thus, early in the morning, Lu Chuan dispatched ten ordinary Corpse Puppets to patrol the surroundings, hoping to find more zombies.

...

Police Station.

"Zhao Lin, where are Wang and the others? Why did only you return?"

Officer Liu, responsible for defending the police station, was surprised to see Zhao Lin returning alone and asked this.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lin’s return drew the attention of everyone in the station, and they all ran out immediately.

Seeing Zhao Lin’s bloodied arm and her solitary return, everyone’s faces changed.

With a pained expression, Zhao Lin shook her head under the astonished eyes of her comrades.

"I thought that after drawing away the Evolved Zombie at the entrance, everyone would safely retrieve the keys, but I didn’t expect that inside the district were three Evolved Zombies and over twenty ordinary zombies."

"I’m sorry, everyone, we underestimated the zombies’ power in the district..."

Upon hearing Zhao Lin’s words, everyone in the police station couldn’t help but gasp.

They hadn’t expected so many zombies in just an old district.

"Wait, if there were so many zombies in the district, how did you make it back?"

Officer Liu looked at Zhao Lin with some suspicion and asked, his tone full of doubt.

"Xiao Wang and the others all went out with guns, and they all ended up dead in the district, yet you came back alive alone? Could it be that you alone could handle that many zombies?!"

Zhao Lin immediately recounted everything that happened in the Sunshine District, even revealing to everyone that her evolutionary ability was resurrection.

However, Zhao Lin’s words only provoked laughter from the people in the police station.

"Zhao Lin, don’t you think your words are too ridiculous?"

"Resurrection? Do you think we are three-year-olds?"

"Besides, after resurrection, you can handle so many zombies at the same time? Are you fooling a ghost?!"

Hearing Zhao Lin talk about resurrection, some survivors became agitated and shouted at Zhao Lin in anger: "You’re ridiculous! In the apocalypse, so many have died, none have come back, yet you can resurrect, why?!"

"We all have relatives and friends who have died and left us forever, and you’re saying you can resurrect? Are you deceiving us or insulting us?!"

"So many officers sacrificed themselves for us to get to the survivor base, why didn’t you die? I think you ran away and got them all killed, right?!"

"Exactly, maybe she implicated everyone because she was scared!"

People criticized Zhao Lin endlessly, even those officers who had faced life and death with her now looked very grim.

Zhao Lin’s resurrection ability seemed too defiant of nature, and no one was willing to believe her.

Faced with incessant accusations, Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment.

She didn’t understand why everyone’s attitude had changed so drastically, clearly she was the one trying to help everyone leave the city and safely relocate to the human survival base.

Clearly, she risked her own life battling zombies, even dying twice at their hands.

If it weren’t for the help of a master, she might have lost her third life as well.

Yet the survivors who greeted her with smiles not long ago, all changed their tune overnight.

Not only did they not believe her words, but they also began to accuse and insult her.

It seemed that her successful escape from the zombie siege was a mistake, as if she should have died along with the team members in the Sunshine District...

Zhao Lin clenched her fists; since no one believed her, she simply stopped explaining.

At this moment, Zhao Lin quietly decided in her heart that she must go to the Sunshine District to get the truck keys and avenge her fallen comrades.

Recalling her agreement with the master last night, Zhao Lin decided to go to Sunshine District again tonight.

...

Lu Chuan brought the fried rice to Ji Ruxue, who then started wolfing it down.

Seeing the little one being so cute, Lu Chuan felt some relief from the stress caused by these human survivors.

"Little one, you can really eat, I think calling you Little Taotie suits you better."

Seeing Ji Ruxue being so adorable, Lu Chuan became more determined to quickly increase his strength, ensuring that no one disturbed the peaceful life with his daughter.

As Lu Chuan watched Little Qiqi eating continuously, a sudden thought struck him.

A Corpse Puppet that was out patrolling suddenly noticed a commotion on the street.

A group of survivors was fleeing, being chased by an Evolved Zombie.

This Evolved Zombie was unlike any that Lu Chuan had seen before.

The creature appeared extremely irritable, radiating an aura of violence, causing even the Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan’s control to tremble.

Most critically, the zombie’s arms had completely transformed into claws, and with a swing of those powerful claws, it ripped deep grooves into the concrete road, flipping parked cars with ease.

Moreover, the power and speed displayed by this zombie were unparalleled, far exceeding any zombie Lu Chuan had encountered.

The survivors stood no chance against this zombie.

Among them, only a man in a black vest could barely fight it with a steel blade, while the others were slaughtered one by one.

Lu Chuan noticed that the man in the black vest was the strong Evolver he had encountered before.

"Such a strong self-healing ability!"

Switching perspectives, Lu Chuan observed that the wounds the blade-wielding Evolver inflicted on the zombie healed in no time!

Could this be a new type of zombie?

Furthermore, that aura had obviously advanced to the second tier.

Seeing this Evolved Zombie resembling a Tyrant, Lu Chuan was quite shocked.

Lu Chuan hurried downstairs with Lightning One and Da Pang towards the scene.

Lightning Two was left in the district to protect Little Qiqi.

As Lu Chuan hastily left the district again, Ji Ruxue frowned: "Is dad going to carry out Corpse King’s task again?"
