354: Fooling Ding Teng

As Brother Ding's angry roars echoed, the zombies continuously surged south.

Furthermore, the higher-tier zombies broke away from the horde and moved to the outermost edges.

Qin Shilei used his pet bag to collect these Silver Realm and above zombies one by one.

"This zombie horde, under the command of the hundreds of intelligent zombies I intentionally left behind, will continue to migrate south. Brother Qin, how about we first search the small counties near Yunlin city and gather the zombies there as well?" Brother Ding suggested.

"Excellent." Qin Shilei took out a map, pinpointed the target, and immediately had Little Strong move towards it.

Currently, ninety-nine percent of these zombies have already advanced to the Bronze Realm, and their running speed is much faster than that of athletes at full sprint before the apocalypse.

Moreover, they are tireless, and under twenty-four hours of continuous running, excluding various influencing factors, they can cover nearly a thousand kilometers.

Hope City and Dujiang City are nearly two thousand kilometers apart, and there are approximately fifty to sixty million zombies in the surrounding cities along the way.

The maximum number of zombies Brother Ding can currently control is around fifteen million.

Therefore, every once in a while, Qin Shilei and his group would make the zombies change direction and move towards the western border.

Once these zombies reached the vicinity of the border, Brother Ding would release his control over them.

As for whether the zombie horde would rush into the dense forest to fight the mutated beasts to the death, or cross mountains and rivers to plague neighboring countries, that was no longer within his consideration.

Xisu city is a small city on the southwestern border of Daxia.

Although it lacked city wall protection, it had gathered nearly two hundred thousand survivors.

One day, the Evolutionaries in the city were preparing to leave the city to hunt mutated beasts.

Suddenly, a sharp warning siren blared in the city.

Everyone stood on high ground and looked out.

A vast, dark mass was rapidly rushing towards Xisu city from a distance.

"A zombie... zombie horde!"

"Run!"

"It's over, our Xisu city is completely finished!"

"There are no large zombie gatherings within a hundred kilometers north of our Xisu city, so how could a zombie horde appear?"

"Don't think about it, just run, save yourselves if you can."

"We're short on oil and vehicles, how can we outrun tireless zombies?"

The news of the approaching zombie horde quickly spread to most of the survivors in Xisu city.

Panic and despair rapidly spread throughout Xisu city.

Just as everyone was scrambling to escape south of Xisu city, a clear eagle cry suddenly echoed from a distance.

"Roar!"

Then, another sky-shattering roar erupted from behind the zombie horde.

As this roar sounded, the zombies that were almost about to rush into Xisu city abruptly stopped.

Then, the survivors who hadn't had time to escape saw a giant eagle carrying two men rapidly flying towards them.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise, it would have been a tragedy!"

Qin Shilei said with a look of relief.

"I didn't expect there to be a Golden Realm mutated beast hidden in Bamboo Forest Town. If it weren't for chasing that mutated beast, we wouldn't have let the zombie horde deviate from its path."

Brother Ding was still thinking about the Golden Armored Beast that had escaped.

"You should first direct the zombie horde towards the predetermined target." Qin Shilei said.

"Okay!"

Brother Ding nodded and then let out several more angry roars, directing the zombie horde to rush west.

At this moment, the survivors in Xisu city also noticed that the zombies had turned and were fleeing into the distance.

"We're saved?"

"The one riding on the back of the giant eagle is Qin An King and his subordinate."

"Those roars just now were from Qin An King's subordinate. Can he command zombies?"

"No matter what, it must be Qin An King who saved us."

"Qin An King is truly amazing. With a single roar from his subordinate, tens of millions of zombies were scared away."

"No wonder he dared to boast that he would cleanse the world and bring peace to all under heaven."

"Qin An King, I love you, I want to have your babies."

Qin Shilei flew in front of everyone, "Please inform your authorities that this zombie horde will migrate to the border about three to four hundred kilometers west of your city.

You'd best not hunt in that vicinity, and you should always be on guard against their return."

Although Qin Shilei and his group would collect the Silver Realm intelligent zombies once they reached their destination.

Without the leadership of high-tier zombies, these zombies would become a scattered mess, wandering aimlessly, and would not form a zombie horde again.

However, over time, it's hard to guarantee that high-tier zombies won't reappear and organize another zombie horde.

"Qin An King, can we relocate to your Hope City?"

"Qin An King, I also have Silver Three-star cultivation. Can I join your Qin Kings Mansion?"

"Qin An King, please stay and be our city lord!"

Numerous survivors shouted at Qin Shilei, all at once.

Most of them hoped to cling to Qin Shilei's influence by doing so.

"The time is not yet ripe. You should continue to live peacefully in Xisu city for now."

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he rode the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle and chased after the zombie horde.

He also had a plan for the survivors scattered throughout Daxia.

On Blue Star, besides insects and zombies, there were also numerous mutated beasts.

To obtain a relatively safe living environment, one could only rely on the protection of tall city walls.

Qin Shilei had always arranged for his subordinates to acquire City Guardian Monuments in large quantities.

Only by establishing more cities with city wall protection within Daxia and then relocating the nearby survivors into them could a better defense system be established.

For example, building two to three more cities between Hope City and Dujiang City.

Not only could all the survivors along the way be properly settled, but they could also echo each other from afar. Once foreign races attacked, they could support each other.

Four days later, Qin Shilei finally migrated the zombies along the route from Hope City to Dujiang City.

His pet bag was already filled with four to five hundred thousand zombies of various types, all Silver Realm and above.

To accommodate Brother Ding's zombie army, Qin Shilei even specifically cleared out the beetles that were previously stored inside, turning them into a pile of supplies and treasure chests.

After a few days of getting along, Qin Shilei decided to refresh some practical attributes for Brother Ding.

"Brother Ding, in recognition of your contributions to the Qin Kings Mansion, I have decided to use one of my talents to enhance your strength."

Brother Ding's eyes lit up, "Brother Qin, do you have an unknown talent?"

Qin Shilei said mysteriously, "Yes, the reason my strength can improve faster than others is because of this talent. However, using this talent on others will slow down my cultivation speed."

"This, Brother Qin, why don't you not use your talent on me then?" Brother Ding hesitated.

"It's fine. If your strength is strong, it also means my strength is strong. Moreover, you have made great contributions to the Qin An Royal Mansion, and you should be rewarded." Qin Shilei said righteously.

As he spoke, a bolt of lightning appeared in his hand and slowly pressed onto Brother Ding.

This extremely strong and pure lightning power instantly made Brother Ding's whole body numb, making him extremely uncomfortable. However, he was afraid of affecting the activation of Qin Shilei's talent, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After a while, Qin Shilei took the opportunity to fix the previously refreshed 'Kingly Demeanor' attribute onto Brother Ding, while simultaneously retracting the lightning power from his hand.
