Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Why Are All the Zombies Gathering at Building 5?
Hearing Ji Ruxue’s words, Zhao Lin was immediately stunned.
What does it mean that this zombie can’t be moved?
Could it be that this zombie is actually "one of our own"?
Ji Ruxue’s sudden action left Zhao Lin completely baffled.
"What is this Invisible up to? Do they not understand the concept of ’those who are not of our kin are sure to have different hearts’? Why are they treating these zombies differently?"
Zhao Lin shook her head, unable to understand what the Invisible was thinking.
But Ji Ruxue didn’t care about Zhao Lin’s confusion and simply continued to transmit her message: "Remember what I just said. Our target is the Corpse King in the Sunshine District."
"You absolutely cannot touch this zombie!"
Out of a police instinct, Zhao Lin faintly detected a hint of threat in Ji Ruxue’s tone.
She realized that if she really took action against this zombie in front of her, the Invisible in the shadows might turn against her.
Although she didn’t know what was going on with the Invisible, Zhao Lin knew that killing the Corpse King was the top priority.
Helplessly, she could only abandon her attack on Lu Chuan and rushed straight into the district.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately intended to follow, but found himself again restrained by a force.
Even with all his strength, he was unable to exert it and could only stand stiff and motionless like a petrified figure.
This made Lu Chuan feel extremely frustrated, as he had been targeted by this force all night; otherwise, he would’ve resolved this female cop already.
"Damn it!"
"You stop right there!"
Lu Chuan was infuriated at the sight of Zhao Lin’s back, his blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, he could see clearly that the female cop had a very specific target in mind.
From provoking ’Da Pang’ at the start to battling his three zombies.
Her main goal was to break into the Sunshine District!
Although he didn’t know her exact purpose, Lu Chuan was only concerned about the little one’s safety.
He had turned this Sunshine District upside down, and in his view, the only thing that could attract these Human Evolvers, apart from Little Qiqi, was nothing else.
Thinking that Little Qiqi might get hurt, Lu Chuan was enraged and desperately tried to break free from the restraint.
Even after continuously consuming multiple Crystal Cores to greatly enhance his physical strength, he still couldn’t move.
This mysterious force enveloping him made him feel as if the time around his body was frozen.
Lu Chuan could only stand there and watch helplessly as Zhao Lin quickly entered the Sunshine District.
A monstrous killing intent emanated from Lu Chuan, even seeming to lower the surrounding temperature.
"Damn woman, I absolutely won’t let you off this time!"
Lu Chuan let out a series of piercing howls, which in the dead of night were horrifying to hear.
The terrifying sound made the nearby zombies tremble with fear.
Ji Ruxue, standing upstairs, watched the zombie father unleash furious roars of anger, her heart filled with apology.
She never expected that one day she would attack the zombie father.
"I’m sorry, Dad, I’m doing this for your own good."
"Once tonight is over, everything will get better."
Seeing Lu Chuan in such rage, Ji Ruxue felt a deep heartache.
For the first time, she sensed such gut-wrenching emotion from her zombie father.
Looking at the back of the zombie father, Ji Ruxue’s eyes became inexplicably moist.
But she quickly withdrew from this emotion.
Because Ji Ruxue noticed that after Zhao Lin rushed into the district, she was like a headless fly, not knowing where to start.
She hurriedly transmitted another message to Zhao Lin inside the district: "The Corpse King is cunning and sly, though smart, it is extremely afraid of death."
"So wherever the Corpse King hides, there must be a large number of zombies protecting it."
"If these zombies are desperately trying to stop you, it proves that the Corpse King is definitely still in the Sunshine District!"
Ji Ruxue’s eyes also flashed with anger.
Thinking that her zombie father was being used as cannon fodder by this Corpse King, she wished she could tear the enemy to pieces.
This also strengthened Ji Ruxue’s resolve to kill the Corpse King.
Though her zombie father still retained human consciousness, he couldn’t completely resist the control of the Corpse King.
If the Corpse King wasn’t completely killed, the zombie father would never be truly free.
He could forget about any stable life in the future.
"Keep searching within the district, as long as there’s a large group of zombies trying desperately to block you, that’s definitely where the Corpse King’s hideout is!"
After hearing this, Zhao Lin felt it made a lot of sense.
She nodded, then carefully began her search according to Ji Ruxue’s hint.
Although Lu Chuan was restrained by a mysterious force, unable to move for a time.
There were still a considerable number of Corpse Puppets in the district, and he immediately controlled them to start moving.
A portion of the Corpse Puppets rushed towards Zhao Lin under Lu Chuan’s control, while others were moved to Building No. 5 by Lu Chuan.
Little Qiqi was both Lu Chuan’s weakness and his reverse scale.
After becoming a zombie following the apocalypse, Lu Chuan found no hope at all.
The appearance of Little Qiqi changed Lu Chuan’s muddled state of mind.
Thus, Little Qiqi became Lu Chuan’s motivation to continue surviving.
To him, the most precious thing was Little Qiqi.
Under no circumstances would Lu Chuan allow Little Qiqi to come to any harm.
Even if something happened to him, Lu Chuan would never let his daughter face any danger.
At this moment, Zhao Lin crashed through the district, searching for the scenario Ji Ruxue had described.
The ordinary zombies along the way posed no threat whatsoever to Zhao Lin, a second-tier Evolver.
After killing a few of the Corpse Puppets controlled by Lu Chuan, Zhao Lin paused in confusion in the center of the district.
She searched around the district, yet still failed to find a possible hiding place for the Corpse King.
"Strange, all the information provided by the Invisible fits, so why can’t I locate the possible hiding place of the Corpse King?"
Zhao Lin stood in the district, looking around at the residential buildings, scratching her head in puzzlement.
Meanwhile, Ji Ruxue was also observing the situation in the district from the rooftop.
Her ability was limited, and she couldn’t control so many zombies for long.
Progress needed to be accelerated to find and kill the Corpse King quickly.
But then Ji Ruxue was shocked to discover that indeed a large group of zombies had gathered together.
However, the gathering place of this zombie horde was none other than Building No. 5, where she and the zombie father had spent countless days together...
