Chapter 258: Chapter 259: Relocation or Postwar Reconstruction?

At this moment, under Lu Chuan’s command, the entire decayed farm was bustling with activity, corpses coming and going.

In order to clean up the battlefield, all the Evolved Corpse Puppets that survived the great battle on the farm were mobilized.

Lu Chuan not only dispatched the sporadic surviving first and second-level Evolved Corpse Puppets, as well as quite a few third-level ones, but even the fourth-level Corpse Puppets were ruthlessly added to the cleaning team.

At this moment, under Lu Chuan’s manipulation, the Evolved Corpse Puppets moved quickly, first picking up the charred remains of Evolved Corpse Puppets that had been killed or burned to death by artillery fire.

Some were half-buried in the scorched earth due to explosions, requiring the Evolved Corpse Puppets to use their sharp claws and blades to dig them out.

Afterward, Tyrant One and other Corpse Puppets dug large pits in the ground, throwing the charred remains of the Evolved Corpse Puppets into them, with burial being the next step.

Soon after, the dispersed bodies of the Evolvers were also gradually found by the Evolved Corpse Puppets.

These Evolver bodies were all thrown by Lu Chuan to feed the Bloodthirsty Vines.

Thump, thump, thump~

The bodies of the Evolvers were tossed out, turning into black shadows that hit the Bloodthirsty Vine Wall, then fell heavily down, rolling several times on the ground, with blood flowing everywhere.

Instantly, a strong scent of blood quickly filled the air.

Whiz, whiz, whiz~

As the Bloodthirsty Vine Wall reacted, it was like a wild dance of a thousand snakes, with countless motionless Blood-colored Vines suddenly charging out like long snakes at extreme speed, making dense whistling noises.

Poof~

In just a breath, the bodies of the Evolvers on the ground were completely pierced by these Blood-colored Vines.

Soon after, these bodies were quickly wrapped by the Blood-colored Vines and pulled into the vine wall like a nest of snakes.

Immediately, countless Blood-colored Vines rushed into these bodies through the wounds and orifices, frantically sucking their flesh and blood.

In just a few moments, nearly twenty Evolver bodies were sucked to bone fragments by the Bloodthirsty Vines.

And after consuming a large amount of third-level flesh and blood essence, the Bloodthirsty Vines were instantly greatly nourished, each vine emitting a brilliant blood light, evidently benefiting greatly.

Moments later, the once restless Bloodthirsty Vine Wall returned to tranquility, intertwining like blood-colored long snakes, completely still.

Underneath the vine wall lay scattered a large area of ghastly white bones.

While handling the bodies of the Evolvers and Corpse Puppets, the surrounding destroyed buildings were also being cleared by Lu Chuan.

The crumbling walls, charred wood, large piles of rubble under the stone walls, and the orchard’s completely burned, disfigured fruit trees were all gathered by the Evolved Corpse Puppets, stacked in the corner of the farm.

Before long, the building debris had formed a small mountain.

After running over to inquire with Lu Chuan along with Little Qiqi, Zhao Lin also received a task to clean up the amusement park.

Looking at the charred, desolate amusement park before her, Zhao Lin’s mood was indeed quite downcast.

She used to live in this place and had been here for a considerable amount of time.

The amusement park facilities were all destroyed by the helicopter fleet’s artillery fire, either blasted into ruins, devastated, or directly burned to white ash, or left with twisted, deformed frameworks.

Zhao Lin glanced at her slide but found it had been blasted into several segments, structure twisted and deformed.

As for the bed under her slide, it had long been reduced to white ash.

She slowly walked into the amusement park, feeling the still slightly warm ground, then reluctantly tried to reassemble some of the seemingly intact facilities.

Unfortunately, despite several attempts, none succeeded; all efforts were in vain.

Moments later, Zhao Lin gradually approached a pair of iron columns.

Looking at the bent columns before her, Zhao Lin couldn’t help but recall memories of playing with Little Qiqi in the amusement park.

At that time, Little Qiqi was sitting on the swing in front, swinging back and forth, laughing joyously, utterly happy.

But now, all that... is destroyed, leaving only debris and ruins. The amusement park in her memories can never return.

Zhao Lin, feeling distressed, forced herself not to dwell on these matters and focused on cleaning the amusement park.

Not far away, a figure stood still.

Lu Chuan looked at the utterly demolished vegetable plot, feeling gloomy, with no sense of excitement or joy from a victorious battle.

It was a vegetable plot he had painstakingly cultivated: eggplants, tomatoes, cabbages...

The variety of vegetables could sustain the farm for a long time.

But now... Alas, Little Qiqi won’t have any vegetables to eat in the future.

I wonder if this will cause any nutritional deficiencies, affecting Little Qiqi’s growth.

Humans, oh humans, since you won’t let me live peacefully.

Then you can’t blame me!

In Lu Chuan’s faint red eyes, there was deep, chilling intent that would send shivers down one’s spine with a single glance.

Beside the amusement park, Ji Ruxue watched her father standing in the vegetable plot, motionless, understanding that her father must be very sad at the moment.

Looking at the pocked and scarred vegetable plot, Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but sigh.

The farm was arduously managed by her father. Though controlling the Evolved Zombies under his command, it still took considerable effort.

And now, with the vegetable plot destroyed like this, no wonder her father was so upset.

"Little Qiqi, don’t be sad. Your father has so many zombies at his command, I reckon the farm can be rebuilt quickly.

The vegetable plot, orchard, or whatever, can all be replanted.

And the amusement park, you don’t really need to worry.

There are plenty of these facilities in the Jiangnan City District, just look around and there will be heaps. It’s not a difficult task for your father either."

At this moment, Zhao Lin, dragging a pile of scrap metal, heard the sigh and thought Ji Ruxue was saddened by the destruction of the farm. She hurried to put down what she was holding and came over to comfort her.

Ji Ruxue didn’t say a word, just watched her busy father, lost in thought.

So far, this wasn’t the first time Evolvers had invaded the farm, and each time they were stronger.

Currently, the farm’s location probably isn’t a secret to the Human Base City.

Now, with this hard-managed farm destroyed, given her father’s nature, he likely wouldn’t continue to stay here.

Ji Ruxue guessed that next, her father would probably leave here and head to another place to rebuild their home.

She just didn’t know where her father planned to go next.

At this thought, a determined look suddenly appeared in Ji Ruxue’s eyes.

No matter where her father goes, she will follow.
