Chapter 259: Chapter 260: From Now On, Wherever We Go Is Home

Several hours later, the farm’s cleanup work was finally completed.

The distance from the house to the stone wall in front is now completely open and clear, with no obstructions in sight.

The craters in the vegetable garden caused by explosions, along with the various ravines left by the battles, have all been filled in, leaving no trace of what once was.

Only the patches of dark ground, stained with blood, serve as a testament to the fierce battle that once took place on this land.

The spot where the amusement park once stood is now completely barren. All the destroyed amusement facilities were cleared out of the farm by Zhao Lin, and the residual white ash from the fire was also cleaned up, leaving only a scorched, blackened earth behind.

In the orchard at the back, the charred stumps of trees, burned black by flames, were pulled up by Da Pang and Er Pang. The holes left behind were then filled in one by one.

As a result, what was once a lush and bountiful orchard has been reduced to a barren wasteland.

Beneath the outer stone wall, the piles of rubble from broken stone have also been cleaned up.

And on the stone wall, several gaps have appeared at regular intervals, now wide enough to allow a truck to pass through, making the inside visible from the outside, completely losing the function of the wall.

If it weren’t for the additional layer of the Bloodthirsty Vine Wall outside, the farm’s security would be greatly compromised and unsuitable for habitation.

At this moment, the cleaned farm, apart from the central house, is utterly empty, destitute of anything.

Outside the house, the three stood together, looking at the desolate farm, their expressions grim.

Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue’s faces were cold, while Zhao Lin’s face showed a hint of worry.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhao Lin felt a surge of emotion.

Just yesterday, it was a vibrant landscape, with lush green vegetable gardens where some evolved zombies tended to the weeds and watered the plants; the bountiful orchard also had evolved zombies pruning and de-weeding; and on both sides of the sturdy stone wall, evolved zombies patrolled...

Yet overnight, the vast farm, what she considered a paradise on earth, had suddenly become this "destitute" state, leaving one heartbroken. Those evolvers really were inhuman.

From Lu Chuan’s perspective, his heart must be filled with anger towards humanity too. Everything he’d painstakingly built was destroyed by these damned humans!

Having lived here for so long, she could tell that the Corpse King had invested a lot of effort in this farm.

Those evolvers... sigh, although it’s a Corpse King, it hasn’t provoked you in any way, quietly staying in the farm minding its own business. Why do you people keep pestering?

Now, despite destroying the farm, not only did they fail to kill the Corpse King, they also lost their own lives in the process.

It’s truly not worth it!

"Daddy, don’t be sad. Even though the vegetable garden and orchard... these things are gone, we can find and build them again in the future.

The farm can still be restored to its original state."

Standing beside, Ji Ruxue consoled her father.

She didn’t want her father to remain saddened by this, as what’s done is done, and everything needed to be looked forward to.

Just like Zhao Lin mentioned earlier, with the evolved zombies under her father’s command, the vegetable garden, orchard, and even the entire farm, could quickly be restored.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan lowered his head, gently stroked Little Qiqi’s head, and smiled.

This little one really knows how to console people, it’s worth doting on you.

However, with the little one’s words, Lu Chuan felt a bit better and his expression softened considerably.

"Lu Chuan, what are your plans for the future? If you want to rebuild the farm, I can help."

Over here, Zhao Lin looked at Lu Chuan and couldn’t help but ask.

Regarding what happened last night, she actually felt very guilty.

After all, the farm’s destruction was a sin committed by humans, and she was human too, making her feel a bit apologetic towards the other party.

So if she could contribute to the rebuilding of the farm, it would also alleviate her guilt somewhat, making her feel better.

Moreover, she had previously suggested the peaceful coexistence of humans and zombies in the future. At that time, although the Corpse King didn’t agree, it didn’t reject either, indicating that there was room for negotiation.

As long as she could become the supreme leader of humans, there was a good chance of making this happen.

But what she never expected was that before she could even say much, the human evolvers turned around and crazily attacked the farm, even going as far as to destroy it completely.

This made her afterwards, hesitant to speak of the coexistence of humans and zombies to the Corpse King again.

Rebuild?

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan shook his head. Even if the farm was rebuilt, what then?

Wouldn’t it be destroyed by humans again?

The farm was already exposed to the humans’ gaze, and with their heavy losses this time, it was inevitable that the farm would suffer a frenzied retaliation from humans.

Thus, the option to rebuild the farm was never part of Lu Chuan’s consideration.

He already had plans for his future path in mind.

Previously, he chose to hide out in this place because Little Qiqi was still young, and he wanted to provide Little Qiqi with a stable life.

Allow her to grow up well without constantly moving around, living in a post-apocalyptic environment.

But now it seems, he was overthinking, you don’t need to seek trouble for it to find you.

This situation isn’t something you can avoid by simply hiding.

Isn’t this farm remote enough? It’s neither in Jiangnan City District nor any towns.

Yet he hid on the farm, and these human evolvers still found their way here, bringing malice each time.

Tiger doesn’t intend to harm people, yet people bear harm in mind for the tiger... Lu Chuan understood that constantly running away won’t solve the problem.

When Zhao Lin saw that the Corpse King actually decided not to rebuild the farm, her expression slightly changed.

She understood that last night’s attack had definitely caused the other party to change.

And whether this change is good or bad... no one knows, especially concerning humanity.

It should be known that Lu Chuan was a Corpse King possessing human intelligence. Once the other party’s mindset shifts dramatically and starts harboring hostility towards humans... it is no exaggeration to say that humanity’s disaster would be upon them.

Humanity had released a fierce tiger that would bite back to death themselves...

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin turned pale and forced herself not to imagine the worst-case scenario.

But looking at Lu Chuan’s silent demeanor, exuding coldness, she couldn’t help it herself.

Next to her, Ji Ruxue was even more certain that her father was planning to move, so she couldn’t help but ask, "Daddy, are we leaving this place?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Lin and Little Qiqi, who were intently watching him, and wrote on a piece of paper, "Little Qiqi, henceforth, wherever we go, there shall be home."
