Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Why Is This Corpse King Hoarding So Much Baby Formula?
After resolving tonight’s crisis, Lu Chuan finally sat on the sofa to rest.
Leaning against the back of the sofa, Lu Chuan closed his eyes and pondered, feeling a wave of exhaustion inside.
Although he had now become a zombie and could hardly feel fatigue or pain physically,
to deal with the female cop who could continually resurrect, he had controlled a large number of zombies to fight together tonight, consuming a great deal of his Spiritual Power.
Even as a zombie now, Lu Chuan still felt tired and wanted to rest a bit.
Though tonight’s events were somewhat tortuous and cost much of his energy,
he finally managed to capture this troublesome female cop who could also resurrect.
For now, it was considered removing a major threat to his heart.
Yet, what puzzled Lu Chuan was, exactly what is in this Sunshine District?
It’s just such a dilapidated old neighborhood, yet two Evolvers are eyeing this place?
Lu Chuan rubbed his temples, a subconscious motion he used in his previous life after working overtime to relieve fatigue.
Although he had now become a zombie, this action still brought him some mental comfort.
"I just don’t get it, one can resurrect after dying and their power increases several folds, the other can secretly restrict people’s actions."
"The abilities of these two guys are astronomical. Instead of taking advantage of the chaos to make a name for themselves, why do they insist on opposing my Sunshine District?"
"Could it be they’re specifically targeting me? I shouldn’t have been exposed..."
Lu Chuan frowned, unable to figure it out at the moment.
He was quite worried about the Evolver who hadn’t shown up, despite him searching extensively yet finding nothing.
That guy didn’t even need to show up to be able to restrict Lu Chuan’s actions.
If it weren’t for the fact that the other party kept intervening, this female cop would have been captured long ago, without wasting so much time and effort.
"Fortunately, it seems that the Evolver lurking in the shadows has a limited number of uses for their ability."
"If his ability could be used indefinitely, I would have had no chance of winning tonight."
Lu Chuan recalled that towards the end of the battle tonight, that peculiar force restricting him finally disappeared.
Most likely, that Evolver had reached the limit of his power, unable to continuously exert it.
At least in Lu Chuan’s view, it made no sense for these human Evolvers to have been ready to cooperate, only to abandon their partners when success was near.
Isn’t that too outrageous?
Reflecting on tonight’s battle, a vague sense of worry crept into Lu Chuan’s heart.
"It seems I must quickly gain control of a stronger second-tier combat-type zombie, otherwise, these human survivors will only grow stronger and become increasingly troublesome..."
Currently, it takes three of his first-tier Evolved Zombies together just to restrain the female cop, clearly showing that their power is nearing its limit; gaining control of a second-tier combat-type zombie is imperative.
With sufficient strength, he could live in this post-apocalyptic world with peace of mind.
...
The next morning.
After a night of struggle, Zhao Lin gradually regained consciousness.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar environment, Zhao Lin’s mind was muddled.
"What’s going on? Did I not die?"
Ssss~
Just as her consciousness returned, a sharp pain suddenly struck Zhao Lin.
She quickly looked down and realized that her legs had been smashed, still oozing blood.
The once graceful, well-proportioned legs were now a bloody mess, and glancing down at them sent a shiver through her spine, forcing her to quickly look away.
Such a gory sight, even she dared not stare directly.
Meanwhile, after being treated as a punching bag by the zombies last night, Zhao Lin felt like her whole body was falling apart, aside from her legs.
Everywhere Lu Chuan had struck her was either fractured or bruised...
"Damn Invisible! Just when the plan was about to succeed, and it still failed!"
"We agreed to kill the Corpse King together, yet you left me alone at the foot of the building?! You bastard!"
This time Zhao Lin truly understood the fear of facing enemies like gods and allies like pigs.
Encouraging her to charge into the zombie horde, yet abandoning her immediately after.
Marvelous, truly marvelous!
"Damn Invisible, you’d better hope I don’t meet you again. If I do..."
Zhao Lin was suddenly stunned, realizing she didn’t even know what the other person looked like, losing even the chance for revenge...
After venting her anger, Zhao Lin, enduring tremendous pain, began to survey her surroundings.
With one glance, she saw the Evolved Zombie standing at the door, staring intently at her.
The sight of the Agile Type Evolved Zombie, caught off guard, startled Zhao Lin.
Though the figure appeared thin, standing there dumbly without moving, Zhao Lin dared not underestimate him.
She had witnessed this creature’s ferocity the previous night, slashing wildly with dual blades, showing formidable combat prowess.
"This Evolved Zombie just keeps staring at me without doing anything, could it be controlled by the Corpse King?"
Zhao Lin frowned.
"Am I now in the hands of that Corpse King?"
"Really strange, having captured me, why not kill me?"
Zhao Lin felt deeply puzzled, believing zombies to be a bloodthirsty monster focused solely on slaughter.
Yet, they captured her, without taking any further action, which was indeed abnormal...
"It can’t be that the zombie noticed I can revive, so deliberately chose not to kill me?!"
At this suspicion, Zhao Lin’s pupils contracted, her eyes flashing with profound horror.
"That can’t be, if this is true, that zombie’s intelligence is way too high?!"
Since the apocalypse began, Zhao Lin had never seen a zombie with intelligence.
The Corpse King now had her limbs tied, and if this was to prevent her from committing suicide and reviving, that level of intelligence is too exaggerated?!
Zhao Lin soon examined the room she was currently in, and found it filled with infant supplies.
Milk powder, diapers, baby clothes, even books and toys!
One might mistake this place for a warehouse of an infant supply store.
The sheer amount of baby supplies utterly confused Zhao Lin, as this room looked nothing like a place where a Corpse King would reside.
"Even stacking milk powder and diapers into mountains—what exactly is this Corpse King planning?"
