CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 352: SOARING DRAGON SQUAD ARRIVES AT LI RIVER

Half an hour later, a long convoy slowly drove out of the Hengye District, passing through the wreckage of corpses and war vehicles.

Soon, the convoy entered the main road of the city center, and along the route, it slowly drove towards the outskirts of the city.

And not long after, the news that the attack force dispatched from the Base City was almost completely destroyed also came back.

"Useless! You are useless! A force of over a thousand people was nearly wiped out, what exactly were you doing?"

Inside the office, the head of the Base City was almost pointing at the nose of the returned commander, scolding angrily.

The scolded commander, at this moment, hung his head low, face full of shame.

"Chief, this time, there was actually an error in the intelligence..."

It seemed as if the commander was thinking of something, feeling a bit aggrieved, and was about to explain when he raised his head slightly.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the enraged head of the Base City.

"How dare you speak? With so many troops lost, how do you have the nerve to come back?"

"Utterly useless! How do you have the gall to return alive?"

"At the time, I shouldn’t have..."

The head of the Base City was so angered by this incident that he almost spewed blood. It was one thing to fail in surrounding a fifth-level Evolved Zombie, but to be completely routed, with over a thousand people... he found it really hard to accept.

After scolding for a good seven or eight minutes, the office finally quieted down.

The head of the Base City, with a face ashen, sat in his seat.

The commander, feeling stifled, couldn’t get a word in just now, and now seeing the chief seemed to calm down a bit, immediately whispered: "Chief, actually this time, it was mainly because of the error in intelligence.

After our convoy surrounded that fifth-level Evolved Zombie, we discovered that it was only one of many high-level zombies in the district.

In fact, a Corpse King was hiding in that district, and the fifth-level Evolved Zombie was under the control of that Corpse King.

Under the Corpse King, there were many high-level zombies with all kinds of abilities, my troops were caught completely off guard..."

"What? Corpse King?"

Upon hearing the other’s words, the Base City head, who was originally thinking about how to deal with the commander, suddenly stood up, his face changed.

"You say there is a Corpse King in the downtown of Li River City? Are you sure?"

Seemingly in disbelief, the Base City head looked at the commander, confirming once again.

"Yes, Chief. Many high-level zombies are gathered in that district, and they coexist peacefully, even cooperating to attack our troops.

Besides a Corpse King, I really can’t figure out what else could orchestrate something like this."

The commander let out a breath and solemnly nodded.

"Call an emergency meeting. All top officials of the Base City must attend!"

Ten minutes later, the conference room was filled with people.

The head of the Base City sat in the main seat, looking serious, with the previously commanding officer at his right, and the remaining seats filled with the hurriedly arrived high-level officials of the Base City.

At this moment, the gaze of the high-level officials subtly swept over the commander.

Wasn’t he supposed to lead the troops to deal with that fifth-level Evolved Zombie?

Why did he come back so soon?

His face looks so bad, could something unexpected have happened?

"Chief, not sure why you gathered us here, is there some important matter to announce?"

The high-level officials, harboring all sorts of guesses, one of them couldn’t resist asking.

"There was an issue with the intelligence, the force attacking the fifth-level Evolved Zombie, after surrounding it, found out there was a Corpse King!

The Corpse King had numerous high-level Evolved Corpse Puppets under him, and, unprepared, the attacking force suffered heavy losses, nearly being wiped out!"

After a moment of silence, the Base City head still managed to painfully relay the situation.

What?

Upon hearing this news, the high-level officials were all incredibly shocked to find a Corpse King in the downtown of Li River City.

"No way! How could there be a Corpse King in the downtown of Li River City? Previously, there was not a single sign!"

"That Corpse King must be the one from Shanchuan City, sneaking into my Li River City!"

"Damn Corpse King, daring to kill so many from our Base City, we won’t stop until it’s dead, this can’t just be let go!"

"Exactly, we must kill this beast..."

"..."

The high-level officials of the Base City were both shocked and angry, voicing out one after another.

Finally, after a round of discussion, it was decided to report this matter to the Imperial Capital and request support from there.

It’s not that Li River Base City didn’t want to personally avenge their fallen warriors, but after considering the strength comparison, they found themselves not to be in an advantageous position.

Everyone knows how terrifying a Corpse King is, capable of causing a Corpse Tide, not to mention those high-level zombies under it. After much argument, it was finally decided to borrow the power of the Imperial Capital.

The Soaring Dragon Squad, which had just returned empty-handed from Shanchuan City, quickly received intelligence from the Imperial Capital, learning about the Corpse King now in Li River City.

Within Jianghai Base City, Team Captain Li Heng, who was full of worry due to the incomplete mission, was elated upon receiving this information.

He then immediately contacted Li River Base City, stating that the Soaring Dragon Squad would head there immediately.

...

Early morning, at the makeshift airport within Li River Base City.

Buzz buzz buzz～

Three helicopters rapidly flew in from afar, their roaring growing constant, and finally descended slowly.

The helicopter doors were opened, and Li Heng, along with his teammates, stepped out.

The senior officials of Li River Base City, who had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of the chief, quickly approached to welcome them.

"Haha, Captain Li, on behalf of Li River City, I welcome our Soaring Dragon Squad to our city!"

"With the Soaring Dragon Squad, the Corpse King will surely be exterminated!"

The head of the Base City, with a cheerful expression, stepped forward, shook hands with Li Heng, and said politely.

"Chief!"

Afterward, Li Heng, along with his teammates, saluted the senior officials.

"Come, come, come, having been on the road for so long, let me first arrange a place for you to stay, and then at noon, we can..."

With a smiling face, the head of the Base City was about to lead Li Heng and his men to the arranged location.

"Chief, the Soaring Dragon Squad has come to Li River City mostly to deal with the Corpse King, a simple accommodation will do, no need to go through any trouble for us.

Now, I’d like to learn about the Corpse King’s situation in Li River City, so that a corresponding strategy can be made, how about it?"

Li Heng did not refuse, but instead suggested to the head of the Base City as they walked.

Earlier, in Shanchuan City, coming up empty-handed, Li Heng knew he had been too late.

Now, with news of a Corpse King again, naturally, he wanted to move faster, he certainly didn’t want another miss.

Hearing this, the head of the Base City readily agreed.

After all, who wants the Corpse King dead more than him?

As the head of Li River Base City, he was extremely worried about the Corpse King. If a Corpse Tide erupted, the Base City would be finished, it would be a great relief to eliminate it as soon as possible.
