356: Zombie Tide

Half an hour later.

A Baoche car raised a cloud of dust as it sped towards Junhai City.

The car passed through the city gate and stopped, a burly young man got out of the car and immediately ran towards the city wall.

“Reporting to the City Lord, the zombie tide has reached Mahua Town and is expected to arrive at our Junhai City in four hours. Preliminary estimates put the number of zombies at least fifteen million. Furthermore, there are many wall-climbing zombies among them that can climb tall buildings with their bare hands.”

“Good, you’ve worked hard. Go rest first.”

Kong Qingshu turned to Jie Mingchen and instructed, “Commander Jie, send out a few more teams to continue monitoring the movements of the zombie tide.”

Jie Mingchen bowed and replied, “As you command.”

Soon, several more teams drove out of the city gate and slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Lin Hetai paced back and forth on the city wall, muttering anxiously, “Why hasn’t Qin An King arrived yet?”

Li Anshi, the head of the Li family, couldn't help but ask, “City Lord, why don't you contact Qin An King again?”

“No need!” Kong Qingshu looked into the distance, her face calm as she replied.

Another half an hour passed, and Qin Shilei still hadn't appeared, while another group of previously dispatched scouts returned to the city wall.

“Reporting to the City Lord, the zombie tide has slightly changed direction and seems to be heading towards our West City Gate first.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was a little puzzled by the zombies’ intentions.

“Could it be that the Zombie King within the zombie tide has also detected that we have stationed heavy troops at the South City Gate and is preparing to attack the sparsely guarded West City Gate?”

“Impossible, the Zombie King hasn’t sent out scouts, how could it know our troop distribution?”

“Exactly, if they changed direction so early, it wouldn’t achieve the effect of a sneak attack.”

Lin Hetai even suggested again, “City Lord, an hour has passed, why hasn’t Qin An King appeared yet? Could something have happened?

Why don't you contact him again?”

Kong Qingshu smiled brightly and said, “The zombie tide has turned; it should be that my husband has already taken control of that group of zombies. Everyone can relax.”

Everyone looked skeptical.

Lin Hetai even said directly, “City Lord, I know Qin An King is unparalleled in the world and can easily eliminate tens of thousands, even two or three hundred thousand zombies. But to subdue an army of over ten million zombies in less than an hour, how is that possible?”

Li Anshi also suggested, “City Lord, why don’t we immediately move our forces to the West City Gate now, lest the zombies truly exploit a loophole.”

The rest of the people also spoke up, trying to persuade her.

“Everyone, calm down, this must be my husband who has already controlled the zombie tide.”

Kong Qingshu, however, understood Ding Teng, the Zombie Emperor's abilities perfectly, and her face showed no trace of panic.

“City Lord, let’s quickly deploy our troops, it will be too late if we delay any further.”

Li Anshi said anxiously.

“Alright, better safe than sorry. My order, immediately dispatch two hundred thousand troops to guard the West City Wall.”

Kong Qingshu immediately ordered.

No sooner had her words fallen than the Telepathic Talisman in her arms vibrated.

“Qing Shu, I have already taken control of the zombie tide. You don’t need to worry. I’ll come find you later.”

Qin Shilei’s gentle voice came from the Telepathic Talisman.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

“I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Qin An King said he has already taken control of the zombie tide?”

“How can tens of millions of zombies be controlled by a human?”

“Could Qin An King be the Zombie Emperor secretly living among us humans?”

“Watch your words! What nonsense are you spouting? The City Lord is right here.”

“This zombie tide, which made millions of us survivors feel like we were facing a formidable enemy, was resolved so easily by Qin An King?”

“Qin An King is not human, he is a god.”

“Then do we still need to dispatch troops to guard the West City Gate?”

The last question came from a junior member of the Lin family.

Everyone looked at each other, still feeling uneasy, and finally all looked at Kong Qingshu.

Kong Qingshu said with a confident expression, “Since my husband said so, there’s no need to deploy troops.”

She paused, then added, “Of course, if you are worried, you can go and see. Our City Guard Army won’t bother with that effort.”

The people from the three major families ultimately found this matter too hard to believe, so they secretly dispatched a team each to the West City Wall.

At this moment, Qin Shilei and Ding Teng were flying above the zombie horde.

“Why hasn’t the Zombie King among this zombie tide appeared yet?”

“I have already ordered the high-level zombies inside to rush over here. They should be mixed within the zombie horde below. I’ll look again.”

After saying that, Ding Teng immediately jumped off the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc, flying at a low altitude, searching for the Zombie King among them.

“Whoosh!”

“Master, something is flying over quickly.”

Not long after Ding Teng left, the Golden Winged Thunder Roc suddenly let out a loud cry.

Qin Shilei turned to look west and immediately spotted a small black dot rapidly approaching.

In less than a moment, the woman in the purple dress had already arrived fifty meters in front of him.

Although the woman's face was pale, her features were beautiful, making her a top-tier beauty.

Qin Shilei exclaimed, “What a pleasant surprise!”

“What a pleasant surprise!” the woman also said in a hoarse voice.

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately formed a claw with her hand and lunged towards Qin Shilei’s head.

Qin Shilei, with his sword still in its scabbard, fiercely struck the opponent.

“Bang!”

The purple-clad woman was immediately struck by a sword and sent flying into the zombie horde below.

However, as soon as she stabilized herself, she immediately flew up again, then threw several dark energy orbs with both hands.

Qin Shilei’s figure flickered, dodging the energy orbs, and once again approached the opponent, raising his Giant Que Sword, and striking the opponent again with the flat of the blade.

With another “bang,” he once again sent the opponent flying into the zombie horde.

Perhaps having witnessed Qin Shilei’s prowess, the Zombie King wisely turned and fled, and also commanded the surrounding zombies to hurl various energy attacks at Qin Shilei, who was flying in mid-air.

Qin Shilei, with a single teleportation, not only avoided numerous attacks but also reappeared in front of the fleeing Zombie King, delivering another strike.

“Damn it!” the Zombie King said angrily, “Don’t be too arrogant. I am here on the orders of our Zombie Emperor. If you know what’s good for you, hurry and escape.”

“Heh heh.” Qin Shilei chuckled, “You actually know how to borrow power. I wonder about your intelligence?”

As he spoke, he once again struck the Zombie King, who was attempting to escape, with the flat of his sword, knocking her to the ground.

“Damn it, I’ll fight you to the death.”

The Zombie King, however, raised her head and roared, as if summoning her Emperor.

As the roar faded, Ding Teng’s figure quickly appeared within Qin Shilei’s line of sight.

“You’re dead, I will definitely have our Zombie Emperor capture you and offer you to me, then I’ll eat you whole.”

The Zombie King bared her fangs and threatened.

After Ding Teng approached, the Zombie King immediately pointed at Qin Shilei and said hoarsely, “My Emperor, this person has vigorous vitality, he is an excellent supplement.”

“Roar!”

Ding Teng let out an angry roar, immediately subduing that Zombie King.

“This is my Lord, kneel down for me.”

The Zombie King was instantly terrified and knelt trembling on the ground.
