Jiangnan City District.

Rumble~

A convoy of vehicles slowly moved along the road. If someone were to look at the drivers, they would realize that all the drivers were mindless zombies.

These zombies were naturally Lu Chuan's Corpse Puppets.

At this moment, Lu Chuan himself sat in the driver's seat of the truck in front, eyes closed, and as the convoy passed, his immense Spiritual Power swept across all directions, instantly controlling all zombies along the way.

Immediately, the zombies wandering outside on the streets seemed to receive an order, stumbling forward with a series of howls, heading in a common direction.

Zombies trapped inside buildings smashed windows and doors to join, following the other zombies from behind.

In no time, as the number of zombies increased, they naturally formed a flowing stream of corpses along each street, vast and mighty.

Soon, these zombie tides converged like rivers into the sea, gathering behind Lu Chuan's convoy, eventually forming a dense sea of zombies behind him, unending as far as the eye could see.

At this moment, the terrifying howls sounded like ten thousand thunderstorms, making one's hair stand on end, bloodlust and ferocity filling the air, as if the entire sky had suddenly darkened.

On the truck's roof, Lu Chuan stood firmly with his feet planted, staring at the terrifying Zombie Army behind him with a smile, a sense of pride welling up in his heart.

With this endless Zombie Army at his disposal, who could threaten him in the future?

Even if the official base sent troops to encircle, they would equally be drowned in the boundless Zombie Army.

Of course, this was only part of Lu Chuan's excitement.

The rest of it was that with so many zombies in his hands, his reserve troops were now assured.

The Corpse Puppets under him all evolved step by step from ordinary zombies, and if he wished to expand his forces in the future, this Zombie Army would be the foundation.

A nation is made up of people, and a power is the same. Without people, neither the nation nor the power has a future.

"Good, good, good, establishing a Zombie Kingdom is just around the corner!!!"

Lu Chuan's heart surged with ambition, watching the Zombie Army, laughing ceaselessly inside.

This was just the beginning; when he expanded his territory to encompass the entire Jiangnan City District and even the surrounding cities, more zombies would inevitably fall under his control.

At that time, the Zombie Kingdom he anticipated would take shape, followed by continuous expansion and strengthening until reaching the limit.

Moments later, Lu Chuan also commanded the Zombie Army to disperse, distributing them evenly throughout the Jiangnan City District, serving as his monitors. In the future, any human force passing through the Jiangnan City District would find it difficult to escape his gaze.

Next, Lu Chuan led the convoy back to the stadium to begin feeding the "pigs" inside.

...

Jianghai Survivor Base.

Wang Lei's squad finally returned after completing their mission.

Wang Lei, with a gloomy face, looked at the surrounding dilapidated tents and the heaps of garbage, breathing in the foul stench of the streets, which dampened his mood further.

Unable to bear the sight, Wang Lei, followed by a squad member, walked quickly along the street toward the Inner City.

Soon, Liu Yang, who had gone ahead to gather information, returned with a grave expression.

"Captain, the situation isn't great. All other Elite Evolution Teams completed their missions smoothly without any incidents."

Liu Yang stepped forward to report to Wang Lei, whose face was clouded with gloom.

There are quite a few Evolutionary Squads in Jianghai Base City.

But elite squads, there are only ten.

That means, out of all the elite Evolutionary squads sent out by the Jianghai Survivor Base, only their elite squad experienced casualty losses.

"Damn bastard, don't let me find out who you are!"

Hearing this, Wang Lei's face darkened further.

After all that trouble, only their squad suffered losses—five people went out, and two were lost. This result was unbearable.

And everything was normal elsewhere; only Jiangnan City District failed, as if haunted!

Recalling the brutal deaths of his teammates, followed by being strung up by an unknown enemy for provocation, Wang Lei couldn't let it go.

He vowed to avenge his fallen comrades by torturing the enemy to death once his strength grew.

"Let's go! Head back to the Inner City and report this matter!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Lei spoke to his teammates behind him.

This mission was a significant loss for their squad—two teammates dead, and aside from rescuing a few survivors, they didn't even obtain a single Crystal Core.

Moreover, Wang Lei felt a chill thinking about how not a single Evolved Zombie was discovered in Jiangnan City District.

This kind of eerie phenomenon was something he had never seen before.

There were quite a few zombies in Jiangnan City District, so an absence of Evolved Zombies was impossible. Their failure to discover any meant there were only two possible explanations.

One was that a concealed Evolutionary power existed in Jiangnan City District that had eradicated all the Evolved Zombies for their Crystal Cores.

Wang Lei leaned more toward this explanation, believing his two teammates were most likely killed by them and that their corpses were strung up at the door as a taunt to their squad.

The second possibility was the existence of an unknown terrifying creature in Jiangnan City District, perhaps a Mutant Beast or an Evolved Zombie, which had killed all of the Evolved Zombies and devoured their Crystal Cores.

The three had not walked far when they saw some base staff posting notices around the streets.

On almost every street, people were putting up notices, plastering them everywhere.

"What's happening? Such a huge fuss?"

Yang Xiu beside Wang Lei said in surprise.

The base occasionally posted notices, but mobilizing so much manpower for such a large effort was unprecedented.

As Wang Lei and the others paid attention, many survivors from the outer city rushed to the notices, thinking recruitment was underway in the Inner City.

However, moments later, these survivors dispersed in disappointment.

"Sigh, thought it was recruitment, wasted my effort!"

"What the hell does Corpse Tide have to do with me? Let me fill my belly first!"

"What a waste of emotion, I think this is all about starving us to death..."

"..."

Listening to the survivors' complaints, Wang Lei became interested and quickly approached one of the notices with his two companions.

The survivors standing in front saw Wang Lei and the others approaching and tactfully stepped aside.

Wang Lei looked at the notice, his face showing a surprised expression.

"A Corpse Tide appeared in the Imperial Capital?"

"And a new type of Evolved Zombie—Corpse King? This name... What, it can control other zombies?"

The more the three read, the more shocked they became. While this notice meant nothing to powerless survivors, it was crucial for Evolvers like them.

A Corpse King capable of controlling other zombies made the area outside the city even more dangerous!
