Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 546 557: Return!

Although Zhao Lin took leave from the Base City before leaving, this time, her departure has been quite long. Facing the alien invasion, she doesn't know if Chaoyang Base City can hold its ground.

Now, since she's back, she doesn't plan to stay here much longer.

Not to mention, given her abilities, following Lu Chuan and Little Qiqi around is just tagging along, utterly useless. It's better to return early.

Hearing Zhao Lin, Lu Chuan instinctively exchanged glances with Ji Ruxue, feeling a bit reluctant.

Lu Chuan nodded, smiling as he said to Zhao Lin, "Zhao Lin, since you're concerned about the Base City, you better hurry back!

Qiqi and I will also return to Li River Base City soon. If anything comes up, you can find us directly at Li River Base City."

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, you must come to see me often!" Ji Ruxue came over, holding Zhao Lin's hand, shaking it.

"Alright, Qiqi, Auntie will definitely visit you often. Well, Lu Chuan, I'll be leaving first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin first patted Ji Ruxue's head, smiled in response, then looked up and spoke to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan nodded.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, Zhao Lin quickly flew into the sky, heading west, disappearing into the horizon.

"Let's go, Qiqi, we should prepare to go home too."

They've been out for quite a long time, camping along the way. Lu Chuan is already starting to miss Li River Base City, this "home."

"Okay!"

Ji Ruxue nodded, bringing along the Void Royal Race insect crystal she excavated, following Lu Chuan as they swiftly flew towards the direction of the off-road vehicle.

Rumble~

Next, under Lu Chuan's command, the Corpse Puppet army set off again, advancing westward.

However, during this journey, Lu Chuan specially dispatched numerous high-level Corpse Puppets to circle throughout Sea Province, clearing out all aliens occupying the cities.

During this process, Lu Chuan also discovered several Human Base Cities had already been breached by aliens.

Furthermore, the number of aliens has markedly increased; before, at most, they would encounter a maximum of ten thousand aliens.

Yet this time, Lu Chuan encountered several batches of aliens, with numbers exceeding fifty thousand, and even discovered a batch of more than a hundred thousand Kobolds, frighteningly numerous.

This abnormal phenomenon immediately raised Lu Chuan's vigilance.

The next day.

On the off-road vehicle, at this point, the Corpse Puppet army had already dealt with Sea Province's Insect Race and aliens, now at the edge of Sea Province, about to leave.

"Dad, according to your assumption, it's likely the time for a large-scale alien invasion has arrived. The aliens are intensifying their invasion of this world.

I suspect, currently, it's not just Sea Province; other provinces probably also have a significant presence of aliens."

After hearing Lu Chuan's description, Ji Ruxue spoke solemnly, her expression heavy.

She already has an extremely bad premonition: first the appearance of the Void Royal Race, and now a large-scale alien invasion...

"Large-scale invasion? Heh, let me see whether there are more of you or more of my Corpse Puppets. I'll stack these aliens to death if I must!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan showed no trace of tension, smirking coldly.

The strength of these aliens pales significantly compared to his Corpse Puppet army. Even if numbering in the tens of thousands, against the Corpse Puppet army, their end would just be an instantaneous overwhelm.

Perhaps, collecting various invading aliens, they could provide him a challenge.

If every province's aliens are as numerous as in Sea Province, grouped together, they might total in the millions.

However, in Lu Chuan's view, this task seems nearly impossible to complete.

After all, spatial rifts are distributed in different locations; aliens can only emerge from specific spatial rifts, gathering swiftly isn't so easy.

Moreover, aliens vary greatly; some differences far exceed the gap between humans and monkeys, expecting them to unite is pure fantasy. Not fighting among themselves would already be fortunate.

Thus, despite the sheer volume of aliens, Lu Chuan remains utterly unafraid; these aliens can entirely be defeated individually.

At this moment, the Corpse Puppet army had successfully exited Sea Province. Lu Chuan took up his map, starting to confirm locations of nearby Human Base Cities and various urban areas.

Thereafter, he promptly dispatched multiple batches of high-level Corpse Puppets to eliminate all types of aliens, continuously reducing the alien numbers. Along the way, Lu Chuan saved numerous Human Base Cities.

Jiangshui Base City.

On the high walls, the Base City leader, looking disheveled and weak, was supported by individuals on both sides. Watching the gradually departing Corpse Tide Army, he couldn't help but marvel, "Although this Corpse King is no longer a human, his wisdom perhaps rivals humanity!

Furthermore, the other party proved incredibly reliable, helping our Base City. I didn't expect that at all."

"The Corpse King is genuinely trustworthy; collaborating with them was evidently the right move!" exclaimed a pale-faced senior official beside him, nodding and speaking breathlessly.

The surrounding others echoed this sentiment instinctively.

Without the Corpse King's assistance, their fate wouldn't have been promising.

Because, three days ago, Jiangshui Base City was breached by tens of thousands of Lizardmen; upon breaching the Base City, they naturally became captives.

The Lizardmen didn't kill them immediately but enslaved all of them. Over these past two days, they were forced to work by the Lizardmen, risking severe beatings if they made even small mistakes.

More dire was, whenever the Lizardmen got hungry, they would randomly select a few humans from among them, dragging them out to be devoured alive.

Luckily rescued by the Corpse King from the Lizardmen's grasp, otherwise, they would ultimately end up in the Lizardmen's stomachs.

"Quick, seize the moment, tally the remaining population of the Base City, and swiftly search for communication devices to report our rescue to the Imperial Capital, stressing the Corpse King's assistance!"

Suddenly realizing, the Base City leader hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, the Corpse Puppet army was rapidly advancing towards Jiang Province.

On the off-road vehicle, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue's faces were quite downcast.

Along the way, they've witnessed numerous Human Base Cities breached by aliens and Insect Races again.

The Base Cities breached by aliens still have many surviving humans, saved directly by Lu Chuan.

However, those cities breached by the Insect Races were utterly tragic, devoured completely by the Insect Races, with the ground covered in bone remnants.

"Dad, facing the large-scale alien invasion, humans seem unable to resist anymore."

In the rear seat, Ji Ruxue spoke gloomily.

"Indeed! But don't worry, Qiqi, once Dad returns to Li River Base City, I'll deploy the army to sweep outward, annihilating all those aliens and Insect Races!"

Lu Chuan nodded, then spoke with resolute determination.
