Chapter 279: Chapter 280: Leave Beicheng City Within 3 Days!

The following day.

A massacre unfolded in Beicheng City, with deafening explosions and countless zombie roars echoing throughout the city.

The entire Beicheng City was in utter chaos.

Ordinary zombies, upon hearing the noise, went berserk, rushing along every street toward the places where the sounds originated.

Outside, chaos reigned; inside, Lu Chuan sat quietly on a sofa, controlling the corpse puppets and carefully orchestrating a slaughter fest in the soon-to-be abandoned Beicheng City.

In the North City, Tyrant One, Tyrant Two, and other corpse puppets rampaged through the chaotic horde of zombies.

The zombies in their way were like rag dolls, being directly knocked into the air, crushing several zombies nearby and causing the zombies below to emit angry roars.

At this moment, Tyrant One and Tyrant Two’s attention was not on these ordinary zombies.

Their targets were the dozen or so second-tier evolved zombies within the horde, and the sole third-tier zombie.

Against Tyrant One and the other corpse puppets, the second-tier evolved zombies were no match at all; they were torn to pieces within moments, their flesh scattering everywhere under sharp claws.

Boom!

Suddenly, Tyrant One stomped both feet heavily down amidst the zombie horde.

With a leap akin to a tiger pouncing, Tyrant One seized the third-tier agile type evolved zombie, the only third-tier zombie within the horde.

Roar~

The agile type evolved zombie, gripped by the head and lifted high by Tyrant One, struggled and roared angrily in mid-air.

Unfortunately, the agile type’s pair of sharp steel blades, when slashing against Tyrant One’s black-armored arm, merely sparked and could not penetrate the defense.

In the next moment, Tyrant One exerted force with his right arm, squeezing fiercely with his hand.

Bang!

The third-tier evolved zombie’s head instantly exploded, bones and brain matter splattering everywhere, a profoundly disgusting scene.

After the body of the third-tier evolved zombie fell, Tyrant One wiped his hand, revealing a gore-covered third-tier Crystal Core in his palm...

In East City District, Da Pang, Er Pang, and other corpse puppets moved swiftly through the zombie horde, pulverizing any zombies in their path with fists the size of millstones.

Boom!

Da Pang swung a punch, smacking a third-tier Tyrant heavily against a high-rise wall.

Under the tremendous force, the third-tier Tyrant’s chest burst open, black rib cages shattering completely, along with organ fragments, spraying out.

Its back became a bloody mess from the impact, embedding directly into the wall.

Nonetheless, even with such injuries, the third-tier Tyrant still did not die, instead emitting continuous roars as it struggled to pull itself free from the wall.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, with the ground rumbling, Da Pang approached quickly, throwing another punch.

Boom!

Suddenly, the third-tier Tyrant, who had just escaped the wall, had its head smashed into the building’s wall by Da Pang, violently, with brain matter splattering.

The third-tier Tyrant’s head had turned into bloody mud under Da Pang’s fearsome strike.

Afterward, Da Pang used his thick fingers to dig into the fist-sized hole in the wall, retrieving a third-tier Crystal Core...

Besides these places, in multiple other locations in Beicheng City, there were traces of Lu Chuan’s corpse puppets’ activities.

Lu Chuan’s third-tier and fourth-tier corpse puppets roamed almost all over Beicheng City, wherever there were evolved zombies, there were Lu Chuan’s corpse puppets.

In a matter of minutes, two third-tier Crystal Cores were acquired; it seemed Beicheng City hadn’t been extensively explored, and the number of evolved zombies was indeed plentiful.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth.

Yesterday, after pondering through the night, Lu Chuan decided to leave Beicheng City in three days.

Mainly to avoid being rediscovered by the authorities.

Having let two members from the Dragon Tiger Gang escape was truly detrimental.

Should they go to the authorities, they would likely expose Lu Chuan’s whereabouts.

Although Beicheng City and Jianghai City were two different cities, there was inevitably communication between the Base Cities.

The events at the farm were not forgotten by Lu Chuan, and he was certain the authorities hadn’t forgotten, possibly still expending efforts in searching for him.

Upon confirming his location in Beicheng City, the authorities might dispatch stronger personnel against him.

Lu Chuan naturally didn’t want further confrontations with human authorities.

After all, even killing those attacking evolvers, the gains from it were quite limited.

Moreover, it might prove counterproductive, not only losing resources but also unnecessarily depleting his evolved corpse puppets.

Under such circumstances, staying here any longer was unwise, and leaving earlier seemed best.

However, Lu Chuan was reluctant to give up the evolved zombie resources within Beicheng City, so he decided to harvest the second-tier and third-tier evolved zombies fiercely before he left.

As a commander with numerous corpse puppets, Crystal Cores could be considered Lu Chuan’s necessities; only by acquiring a large amount of Crystal Cores could he mass advance his subordinates’ corpse puppets.

For instance, the fourth-tier corpse puppets under Lu Chuan were all gradually elevated by him.

Time slowly passed, and as darkness fell, Lu Chuan received a large number of Crystal Cores sent by his corpse puppets.

Poured the Crystal Cores from the bag onto the ground.

Looking at those Crystal Cores stained with blood, Lu Chuan counted them excitedly, his face breaking into a broad smile.

After a day of slaughter, he harvested sixty-nine third-tier Crystal Cores and two hundred second-tier Crystal Cores.

With so many Crystal Cores, it was akin to hitting the jackpot!

With this batch of Crystal Cores cashed in, he could start contemplating his advancement.

It had been quite some time since entering the fourth-tier, reaching the point where he should break through to the fifth-tier.

Since successfully capturing the fourth-tier Undead One, Lu Chuan felt he had reached his limit; his Spiritual Power struggled to support another fourth-tier corpse puppet.

If he wished to control more fourth-tier corpse puppets and substantially increase his strength, he must break through to the fifth-tier.

This meant he had to consume at least three fourth-tier corpse puppets to possibly break through to the fifth-tier.

It wasn’t that he wanted to sacrifice his fourth-tier corpse puppets.

But currently, whether mutated Fierce Beasts or evolved zombies, their numbers were truly scarce.

The fourth-tier Fierce Beast, Lu Chuan hadn’t encountered any at all; the fourth-tier evolved zombie he met in Beicheng City was just the Undead One, already under his control.

Therefore, Lu Chuan could only choose to advance the corpse puppets, then kill them, to extract fourth-tier Crystal Cores.

Looking at these Crystal Cores, Lu Chuan’s eyes shifted slightly.

He might as well break through to the fifth-tier right here in Beicheng City.
