CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 370: SOARING DRAGON SQUAD LAUNCHES A NIGHT RAID!
After a moment, Zhao Bin walked out of the small town, a flash of spiritual light, transforming back from an ordinary zombie to his original state.
Soon, he arrived behind a small hill not far away.
Zhang Li, who was waiting there, hurried over when he saw Zhao Bin approaching, asking with great concern, "Zhao Bin, how did it go? Did you find the location of the Corpse King?"
During this time, in order to quickly support Zhao Bin, Zhang Li had stayed outside this small town for several days, just like Zhao Bin.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bin cautiously looked back, then nodded towards Zhang Li.
Zhang Li’s heart immediately filled with joy.
"Zhang Li, this is not the time to discuss this. Let’s head back and report to the captain first."
Zhao Bin reminded Zhang Li in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, we’re right outside the small town, it’s too unsafe here, indeed we shouldn’t waste time discussing. Let me take you back first."
Zhang Li naturally agreed upon hearing this, a flash of brown-yellow spiritual light surrounded them both as he placed his hand on Zhao Bin’s shoulder.
In the next moment, the two disappeared from the spot, diving underground.
In the enemy’s hillside camp several miles away, Li Heng and others anxiously awaited.
After all, it had been two or three days, yet Zhao Bin and Zhang Li hadn’t sent back any news, causing Li Heng and the others to speculate whether the two had encountered some accident.
"Captain, how about letting me go check on Zhao Bin and Zhang Li’s situation?"
Lu Shan, watching the pacing Li Heng, suggested.
Lu Shan was a Beastification, having awakened the Beastification Ability. However, his ability was quite special and could be called a composite Beastification.
This meant that when using his Beastification Ability, he could evolve several different Fierce Beast traits onto himself.
For example, he could simultaneously gain the eyes of an eagle, the scale armor of a snake, the muscular speed of a cheetah, and the wings of a sparrow...
"Let’s wait a bit longer. Zhang Li and Zhao Bin, one is an Earth Diver, the other even has Disguise Ability..."
Anxious Li Heng hesitated for a moment and still shook his head.
The situation was unclear at the moment. If Zhao Bin and Zhang Li had already been discovered by the Corpse King, even if Lu Shan approached in the form of a Fierce Bird, he might still be attacked by the Corpse King.
Unexpectedly, before Li Heng finished speaking, a brilliant cluster of brown-yellow spiritual light appeared on the clearing ahead.
Seeing this, everyone present felt a surge of delight.
"Zhao Bin, Zhang Li, you’re back!"
Li Heng, with a face full of smiles, led the group to greet them.
"Captain!"
Zhao Bin and Zhang Li saluted Li Heng with a smile.
"You’ve been gone so long that we thought something happened to you two. How did it go, did you make any discoveries?"
Li Heng couldn’t help but ask.
He was somewhat worried.
The Corpse King’s location was the key point for the tasks to follow. If Zhao Bin startled the snake or found nothing, the following mission of the Soaring Dragon Squad would be hard to accomplish.
"Captain, sorry for making you worry. I just needed to verify some issues, so it took a bit longer.
Fortunately, everything went well. I’ve accurately located the position of the Corpse King."
Upon hearing Li Heng’s words, Zhang Li and Zhao Bin both showed an apologetic expression, with Zhao Bin stepping forward to explain to everyone.
"You succeeded? Quickly, tell us where the Corpse King is!"
With this news, Li Heng was elated and hurriedly asked.
The other teammates behind him also looked at Zhao Bin with smiles, waiting for his response.
"Captain, the Corpse King resides southeast of Sixth Plant Town, in the courtyard at No. 23 Yu Hua Street."
Saying this, Zhao Bin took out a detailed map of Li River City and presented it to everyone, pointing to the location of Sixth Plant Town and circling No. 23 Yu Hua Street.
The group carefully checked the location Zhao Bin had marked and remembered it in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhao Bin recalled an earlier discovery and continued to tell everyone: "Additionally, Captain, that Corpse King isn’t the little girl described in the data. I’ve sensed it; she is just an ordinary human girl.
The real Corpse King is actually a zombie very close to that little girl. It appears nearly indistinguishable from a normal human and is almost inseparable from the girl."
What?
Upon hearing this shocking news, including Li Heng, the entire team was stunned.
The information about the little girl was incorrect, and the Corpse King turned out to be someone else!
"Are you sure?"
Li Heng looked incredulous.
"Captain, I’m ninety percent sure!"
Zhao Bin’s face turned serious as he nodded.
Seeing this, Li Heng furrowed his brow a bit. He naturally trusted Zhao Bin, which meant the previous intel was mistaken...
It took several minutes for everyone to reluctantly accept the Corpse King’s switch.
"No matter who this Corpse King is, the main goal of our Soaring Dragon Squad is to eliminate this entity!
Now that Zhao Bin has brought back accurate intelligence, we start acting tonight."
Li Heng surveyed the group solemnly and then gave the order: "Tonight, the squad will infiltrate the small town, preparing to launch an attack on the Corpse King to create an opportunity for Zhao Bin.
And Zhao Bin, you’ll continue disguising as a zombie, waiting for a chance to approach the Corpse King and deliver a fatal blow."
"Yes!"
Afterward, Li Heng handed Zhao Bin something that resembled a black metal rod.
Zhao Bin hurriedly took it.
This ordinary-looking black metal rod was not as simple as it seemed; it was a Superpower Weapon developed by the Imperial Capital Research Institute—a Super Energy Light Stick.
Its principle was to utilize the energy within the Crystal Core, allowing the energy to rapidly concentrate in a short period and form a Superpower Beam.
The power of the Superpower Beam was astonishing, able to melt and penetrate ordinary alloy armor in an instant, and even slay a fourth-tier Fierce Beast with ease.
The Corpse King in the Imperial Capital was taken down by this very weapon.
...
Night fell once more.
In the bedroom, Ji Ruxue was meditating, energy surging around her.
Suddenly, Ji Ruxue’s eyes snapped open, a strong sense of alertness gripping her as she sensed something unusual.
She quickly rushed out of the bedroom, calling to Lu Chuan, who was sitting on the sofa, "Dad, something’s going on outside, it seems like someone is stealthily approaching!"
Lu Chuan’s expression changed.
At that moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
In the darkness, members of the Soaring Dragon Squad advanced rapidly, firing shoulder-mounted rocket launchers aimed at the room where Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue were.
In an instant, the warheads flew out, transforming into six Fire Serpents mid-air.
Inside the room, Ji Ruxue’s mind was set.
Boom boom boom~
The six warheads seemed to hit an air wall, detonating in the courtyard, the explosion brightening the area and revealing the silhouettes of the six squad members of the Soaring Dragon Squad.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan had already summoned all the Corpse Puppets under his command, setting them in defensive mode, eyes glinting fiercely.
"Corpse King, prepare to die!"
At this moment, the six Soaring Dragon Squad members closed in on the courtyard, launching a frontal assault on Lu Chuan.
