Go to Tanzhou and recruit ten humans

 "head of state, I heard that foreign diplomats have come to visit. Where are they?"

Liu Xiamu didn't dwell on the matter and took a deep breath, changing the subject.

As for the outcome of the plan, it was all up to heaven.

"Except for Kathy, I've driven away all the other diplomatic missions from the various countries."

Wu Boxue said calmly.

"What's the position of the White Country?"

Liu Xiamu continued to ask.

"Under the pretext of maintaining world peace, they want to use this large military force to enter Wu Country."

"head of state, Chris from the White Country is a mad scientist. The White Country wants to send its troops into Wu Country. Apart from their intention to encroach on Wu Country's territory, they might also be interested in the research value of zombies. I hope you can pay more attention to this matter, Leader."

"Don't worry, the White Country won't have that opportunity."

Wu Boxue smiled slightly, as if he had long anticipated Liu Xiamu's concerns, and then continued, "Xiamu, you can discuss issues related to the origin of zombies with Miss Kathy. You can also share future research findings on zombies with her. I have other matters to attend to here."

"Understood, Leader."

After entrusting Kathy to Liu Xiamu, Wu Boxue walked straight out of the soundproof room, cast a lingering glance at the zombies in the iron cage, and left the research room.

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Chuan was driving towards Tanzhou.

Located at the center of the fifteen cities, Tanzhou was a hub with a population of over two million.

There were as many as sixty or seventy thousand survivors trapped by zombies, making it the city with the largest number of zombies among the thirteen cities occupied by them.

However, the total number of zombies in Tanzhou was only a little over three hundred thousand, leaving ample room for development.

Therefore, Tanzhou became Lin Chuan's new destination.

As the vehicle drove, Lin Chuan, through the information sharing of captured zombies, witnessed the conversation between Wu Boxue and his group.

Lin Chuan was not surprised that Liu Xiamu could accurately deduce the habits of zombies.

After all, Liu Xiamu was the head of the Research Department of Wu Country.

Without some skill and discernment, how could he have risen to that position?

As for the content of the conversation between Wu Boxue and his group inside the soundproof room, Lin Chuan wasn't curious at all.

If Liu Xiamu could guess that Lin Chuan could share the perspective of zombies, wouldn't they be cautious about discussing important matters?

Furthermore,

Two of the four videos Liu Xiamu had shown about Xiao Wenjing depicted her entering and leaving buildings.

They had all these scenes under control. Lin Chuan hadn't concealed his movements when leaving the buildings, so he wouldn't be overlooked.

It wasn't difficult for Lin Chuan to deduce that the upper echelons of Wu Country were already aware of his actions.

This so-called important conversation was nothing more than discussing how to deal with him and in what manner.

Upon realizing this, Lin Chuan remained calm and fixed his gaze on a gas station by the roadside ahead.

Inside the gas station, several SUVs were parked.

Behind the SUVs, two groups of people armed with various weapons confronted each other.

The two leaders in the crowd seemed to be arguing about something.

Lin Chuan drove his car to the outside of the gas station, parked it, and walked straight into the gas station.

Since unconscious zombies couldn't find hidden survivors, why not let humans help with it?

"Chen Tao, it's your business if you want to take people away, but you won't take a single strand of hair of the supplies here!"

"What? Do you want me to stay here and die with you?"

"The fifteen cities are blockaded, and a wall of copper and iron has been built outside the moat. The police forces are all stationed behind this wall, with no sign of rescue coming."

"I no longer trust the police. I just want to hold my life in my own hands!"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Get out of the way now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

With that, Chen Tao viciously pulled a gun from his chest and pointed it at the people blocking his way.

 Just at that moment, Lin Chuan walked into the gas station and happened to hear their conversation.

The two confronting groups immediately became alert upon seeing the sudden appearance of a new person.

Then, one of them noticed Lin Chuan's face.

"Tao... Tao Brother... He... He's the Zombie King from the reports!"

The man was so scared by Lin Chuan's appearance that he stammered while speaking.

As soon as he finished speaking, both groups noticed this fact.

In an instant, both groups recoiled in fear upon seeing Lin Chuan's gaze.

Even Chen Tao, who was holding a gun, couldn't control the trembling of his body.

Everyone else was also glancing around and preparing to flee.

"You all want to survive, right?"

Lin Chuan looked at the fear on the faces of both groups and spoke.

However, as soon as Lin Chuan finished speaking, one person couldn't contain their fear and ran away without hesitation.

"Don't move, or you'll end up like him, dying miserably!"

Lin Chuan sneered at the fleeing person and threatened both groups.

As soon as the last word "miserably" left his mouth, Lin Chuan's figure suddenly disappeared from his spot, leaving only a dark shadow behind.

Like a ghost, he caught up with the fleeing person in the blink of an eye, reached out with his palm, and pierced through the fugitive's chest from behind.

The next second, Lin Chuan began feeding directly under the gaze of both groups.

This process made some people with weak psychological resilience vomit on the spot.

Others turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

A few people even got scared to the point of wetting themselves.

They wanted to run, but their legs wouldn't obey as they watched the person being fed on by Lin Chuan.

Until Lin Chuan finished consuming the fugitive, everyone was trembling in fear and didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements.

"As long as you obey me, I can not only keep the zombies from harming you, but also allow you to do whatever you want in this abandoned environment."

"What do you say? Want to join me and become my subjects?"

Lin Chuan's voice was soft, with a faint smile on his cheek. He occasionally stuck out his tongue to lick the blood on his lips as he walked towards the crowd, step by step.

His scarlet eyes carried a playful expression, like a demon eyeing a weak prey.

The terrifying aura emanating from him made people feel suffocated.

With every step Lin Chuan took, the fear and terror on the faces of the crowd intensified, and their bodies shook even more violently.

"No... Don't come closer!"

"I don't want to die! Someone save me! Sob, sob..."

Faced with Lin Chuan's approach, several people in the crowd collapsed to the ground and hugged each other, crying.

Lin Chuan's identity as the Zombie King and his fierce behavior earlier not only robbed them of the courage to resist but also made them oblivious to what he had said earlier.

Lin Chuan was unmoved by the cries of the crowd and continued to take slow steps towards them.

If crying were effective, how could disasters exist!

"I'm willing! I'm willing! Just don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything!"

Chen Tao, at the front of the crowd, heard the cries of several people and saw Lin Chuan approaching. He could no longer hold back and immediately knelt down without dignity to express his stance.

One person had already died, and he didn't want to be the second one to be killed.

He didn't think the gun in his hand could kill Lin Chuan.

If the Zombie King were so easily killed, how could Qingzhou have fallen, and how could the zombie disaster have spread from Qingzhou?

He had been hiding and struggling with all his might to survive until now.

He led the group away from the gas station to consolidate his strength and increase his chances of survival.

At this moment, faced with the terrifying and powerful Zombie King, he only wanted to survive!

As long as he could survive, he didn't care about the means.

It was his right to choose how to live!

"Very well, you've saved your own life."

Lin Chuan stopped and looked at Chen Tao meaningfully, his gaze also sweeping over the rest of the people.
