Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress
Chapter 54: Could There Be a Corpse King in Sunshine District?
CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: COULD THERE BE A CORPSE KING IN SUNSHINE DISTRICT?
In Ji Ruxue’s memory, once evolved zombies get close to each other, they would attack each other to seize the other’s crystal core.
Low-level evolved zombies also lack their own consciousness, and their only distinction from ordinary zombies is their enhanced power and potential for evolution.
Low-level evolved zombies still act based on their most primal desires.
Ordinary zombies follow their bloodthirsty desires, capturing survivors everywhere to devour fresh flesh.
However, evolved zombies do not devour flesh everywhere like ordinary zombies because they crave more concentrated energy, such as the crystal core in the brains of evolved zombies and mutated fierce beasts.
If two evolved zombies encounter each other, it is sure to be a life-and-death situation, until one side successfully kills and devours the other.
But the situation observed through the telescope just now was very bizarre; how could Dad, an evolved zombie, coexist peacefully with this hulking tank zombie?
Could it be that my assumption was wrong?
Is Dad actually just an ordinary zombie, not an evolved zombie?
In Ji Ruxue’s view, if they are not attacking each other, it must be evolved zombies and ordinary zombies being together.
Because ordinary zombies cannot produce crystal cores, they have no valuable resource for evolved zombies, so they won’t waste effort.
But Ji Ruxue was puzzled; if Dad isn’t an evolved zombie, how was he able to transport so many supplies right under this hulking zombie’s nose?
The rooms on several floors downstairs were filled with an immense amount of supplies, gathering so many materials wouldn’t have been easy and would require quite a bit of time.
Moreover, previously this hulking figure had been blocking the entrance. Even if her father wasn’t an evolved zombie and didn’t trigger its devouring desire, its imposing presence would deter ordinary zombies from approaching.
Additionally, evolved zombies may lack consciousness, but their instincts never easily allow an ordinary zombie to run rampant in their territory.
Ji Ruxue originally thought that her hidden identity was deep enough, but now she suddenly discovers that her zombie father also appears to be very mysterious.
No, I need to find an opportunity to carefully test this out.
To see if Dad is really an evolved zombie, and what kind of talent ability he has awakened.
...
Lu Chuan was not aware that the little girl had already noticed various clues on him through the telescope.
He led his corpse puppet squad, making a grand march toward a shopping center in the southern part of the district.
Lu Chuan has been using corpse puppets to search for the whereabouts of evolved zombies during this period.
Evolved zombies and low-level corpse puppets are entirely different strategic levels!
Controlling an evolved zombie can easily destroy a whole corpse puppet squad!
Furthermore, he must rely on evolved zombie crystal cores to continue his breakthrough.
Although he battles with Lightning daily, this only improves his combat skills.
Gaining true enhancement and strengthening telekinesis cannot be achieved merely through these measures.
And just now, one of Lu Chuan’s corpse puppets, while wandering this pedestrian street, discovered the traces of an agile zombie.
So Lu Chuan set off immediately, bringing his army of corpse puppets to this area.
Though the apocalypse caused zombies to roam the streets, most are still just low-level zombies.
Even after the Blood Moon Mutation, evolved zombies only account for a small portion, and the ones Lu Chuan encountered in several days are very few indeed.
After arriving at this commercial street, Lu Chuan quickly spotted that evolved zombie.
However, this time Lu Chuan brought Da Pang with him, and as soon as he approached, the agile zombie discovered him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With Lu Chuan’s control, Da Pang remained motionless.
But the agile zombie, brandishing claws like curved blades, charged towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan hurriedly controlled his army of corpse puppets to intercept.
The agile zombie had strong combat capabilities, and these low-level corpse puppets were no match for it.
However, Lu Chuan equipped each corpse puppet with helmets, ensuring they wouldn’t lose combat effectiveness unless beheaded.
Soon, the agile zombie that had been radiating powerful energy suddenly stood still.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan was overjoyed; his spiritual power had recovered a lot recently.
The mental power previously consumed to control evolved zombies had all been restored, allowing him to quickly draw this evolved zombie under his wing.
Looking at the evolved zombie in front of him, Lu Chuan nodded with satisfaction, as this was the third evolved zombie he controlled.
"Since it’s the second agile zombie, you’ll be named Lightning Two!"
Thinking that he now had three evolved corpse puppets under his command, Lu Chuan felt incredibly excited.
If this pace continues, his corpse puppet army will continue to expand.
Initially, Lu Chuan didn’t feel that his talent was exceptional.
But now, as his power continues to grow, Lu Chuan increasingly realizes his unique talent is terrifyingly powerful!
If his telekinesis continues increasing, Lu Chuan can control more corpse puppets.
With stronger corpse puppets, he can acquire more crystal cores.
This cycle of using crystal cores to enhance telekinesis, then telekinesis to control corpse puppets, represents an ideal evolution method!
Lu Chuan was immensely excited as he seemed to see the majestic scene of commanding countless evolved corpse puppets in the future.
"Dad has been out for so long this time, why hasn’t he come back, could something have happened outside?!"
Ji Ruxue, in order to figure out what is going on with her zombie father, had been lying on the balcony waiting for Lu Chuan to return.
But her body was still just a baby less than a week old.
Her height was insufficient, so she had to stand on tiptoe with her small feet on a stool to rest on the balcony.
However, standing for a long time caused Ji Ruxue’s legs to feel numb.
She kept stomping her feet, letting blood circulate in her legs to prevent losing feeling.
Soon, Ji Ruxue made a new discovery.
She saw the departing horde of zombies return, and in addition to the original zombies beside Dad, there was another agile zombie!
"What’s going on? How did another evolved zombie appear?!"
This scene had a tremendous impact on Ji Ruxue.
She furrowed her brows, recalling memories of her past life, and Ji Ruxue finally thought of only one possibility.
Being able to gather several brainless evolved zombies, controlling their mutual devouring desires, and peacefully coexisting, there’s only one situation possible.
That is the presence of a Corpse King within the Sunshine District!
