Chapter 235: Chapter 236: Response from the Imperial Capital!

"Little Qiqi, come play on the swing!"

Zhao Lin, having regained her freedom, felt light all over and was having a great time at the amusement park, sitting on the swing with a big smile on her face.

She waved excitedly at Little Qiqi, who was sliding down the slide.

Ji Ruxue paused her steps, looking at Zhao Lin, feeling speechless.

Has this woman gone mad?

She didn’t know where the energy came from; once freed, she dragged her to play around in this amusement park.

It’s as if she never gets tired, definitely like she’s born in the Year of the Ox.

At first, it was okay, Ji Ruxue understood and thought to indulge Zhao Lin for a bit, as a way to pass the time.

But as time went on, it became a bit troublesome.

She didn’t have much time to waste hanging around here with Zhao Lin.

"You play by yourself, I have homework to do."

Ji Ruxue shook her head and quickly walked towards the house.

Seeing Little Qiqi decline, Zhao Lin didn’t mind.

She swung by herself, enjoying the breeze that greeted her, looking content.

After returning to her room, Ji Ruxue didn’t actually get to her homework as she had said.

Instead, she used the Spirit Communication Technique to control a small bee, silently spying on Zhao Lin’s every move.

Her persuasion of her father to release Zhao Lin this time was merely a test for the latter.

If Zhao Lin showed any signs of misdeed, it would imply ill intent.

In that case, there would be no need to keep Zhao Lin alive.

Although Ji Ruxue saw potential in Zhao Lin, believing that her growth could be an asset.

But if Zhao Lin had harmful intentions towards her father or the farm, then she was better off without her.

In her previous life, she became the Supreme Empress.

This life, too, she will be the Empress; no one can stop her.

To her, Zhao Lin was merely an embellishment.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan was also following Little Qiqi, doing the same thing.

With a large number of Corpse Puppets as spies, he would not stop monitoring Zhao Lin.

However, apart from monitoring Zhao Lin’s actions, Lu Chuan had other things to do, keeping himself busy.

After resolving the crisis brought by the Human Evolvers, Lu Chuan’s attention returned to hunting Mutated Fierce Beasts.

After all, the zombie breeding ground in Jiangnan City District was waiting eagerly for their return.

In order to produce a large number of Evolved Zombies, a supply of energy-rich Mutated Beast blood is essential.

At this time, Lu Chuan was already controlling his Evolved Corpse Puppets, forming a convoy heading towards Yellow Dragon Mountain.

However, considering the ongoing threat from the Human Evolvers, which wouldn’t disappear anytime soon.

Lu Chuan didn’t send out all his Fourth-Tier Corpse Puppets.

Instead, he left two Fourth-Tier Corpse Puppets behind to guard the farm.

With Fourth-Tier Evolved Zombies as protectors, no matter how many ordinary Human Evolvers come, they would only meet their demise.

In addition to monitoring Zhao Lin and commanding the Corpse Puppet army to hunt beasts.

Lu Chuan spent his remaining time nurturing Little Qiqi.

First, he brought out various tools for Little Qiqi to continuously practice her Telekinesis Control ability.

Afterward, he selected suitable First-Tier Corpse Puppets to spar with Little Qiqi, honing her combat skills.

It started with one-on-one battles, progressed to two-on-one, and finally turned into group fights to enhance Little Qiqi’s fighting prowess.

After all, Lu Chuan intended to make Little Qiqi his trump card.

However, if Little Qiqi had only potential but lacked combat experience, that wouldn’t do.

...

Jianghai Base City.

In the Inner City’s vast conference room.

After the highest command reported the encounter of three Evolutionary Squads in Jiangnan City District to the Imperial Capital.

Today, they finally received a response from the Imperial Capital.

At this moment, all the senior officials of the Base City were present, having a video conference with the Imperial Capital.

The conference room was extremely quiet, everyone was sitting straight, looking solemn, eyes fixed on the screen ahead.

In the video screen appeared a dignified middle-aged man, calmly observing everyone present.

"The report from your Jianghai Base City has been understood by the Imperial Capital, as for the content...

Since you dared to report it, it means you’ve considered it carefully, so I won’t say more.

Next, I’ll inform you of the Imperial Capital’s decision.

Regarding the issue of your Jianghai Base City, the Imperial Capital decided to send a very strong ace squad to verify the situation.

Once verified to be true, they will assist your Jianghai Base City in operations to eliminate the Corpse King."

The middle-aged man spoke slowly with piercing eyes.

Upon hearing this, the people present were inwardly delighted; with the elite squad from the Imperial Capital sent, they finally felt relief.

By then, they could leverage the strength of the elite squad to strike directly at Yellow Dragon, swiftly eliminating the Corpse King at the farm before it had the chance to incite a Corpse Tide.

Just then, the middle-aged man in the video changed his tone, speaking coldly: "However, don’t rejoice too soon.

Let me be blunt, if upon verification, the intelligence you sent is false, and there’s no Corpse King in Jiangnan City District...

Then the Imperial Capital will severely punish your Jianghai Base City, and each of you will be held accountable!

The Corpse King is a major threat to humanity, not a joking matter! Do you all understand?"

Upon these words, the highest command and other high officials glanced at each other, feeling somewhat guilty.

Logically, the presence in the farm should be the Corpse King, right?

However, obtaining support from the Imperial Capital was still gratifying to the highest command, who promptly responded formally: "Understood, sir! If the intelligence is incorrect, Jianghai Base City willingly accepts punishment!"

Regardless of whether the intelligence on the Corpse King holds true, resolving this deadly threat is beneficial for Jianghai Base City.

Once the elite squad arrives, if the Corpse King is truly absent in Jiangnan City District, they would simply face punishment.

Yet, from that point on, Jianghai Base City wouldn’t have to worry about the Corpse King again.

If they indeed find evidence of the Corpse King, Jianghai Base City must exert full effort to aid the elite squad in exterminating the menace.

A few minutes later, the video screen went blank.

The conference room immediately buzzed with discussions.

The highest command frowned slightly and said loudly: "Alright, everyone quiet down."

Everyone instantly fell silent, focusing on the highest command.

"Now, the elite squad dispatched by the Imperial Capital will soon arrive, everyone return and prepare, each department ready to welcome them."

"Yes!"
