Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

"I really didn't expect Dad to control an Elemental Evolved Zombie so quickly!"

Lu Chuan's control of 'Flame One' naturally caught Ji Ruxue's attention, and she recognized this crimson zombie at a glance.

This type of Elemental Zombie evolves differently from zombies like 'Da Pang' and 'Lightning One', which are physical evolution types.

There are many kinds of Elemental Zombies, and 'Flame One', which can attack with fire, is one of them.

Moreover, like 'Flame One', Elemental Zombies generally have higher attack power and a wider attack range.

However, Elemental Zombies also have a downside, which is that their physical endurance is weaker than other Evolved Zombies.

After all, when Elemental Evolved Zombies break through, their energy is mostly used to enhance their powerful attack capabilities rather than physical evolution.

Seeing the Flame Zombie controlled by her dad, Ji Ruxue slightly furrowed her eyebrows, recalling memories of her previous life.

She remembered facing Corpse Tides in her past life, where these Elemental Zombies were key firepower in the hordes.

After all, the areas attacked by the Corpse Tides were mostly major human Survivor Bases, where heavy firepower was plentiful.

Most zombies are of the physical evolution type, which are typically close combatants. Though perhaps stronger physically, their combat range is limited.

If relying only on such zombies, attacking a human Survivor Base would, without doubt, incur heavy losses from human firepower.

Thus, the threat posed by the Corpse Tides to humans would be relatively lower.

However, Ji Ruxue clearly remembered that in the post-apocalyptic Corpse Tides, Elemental Zombies were akin to human heavy weaponry.

Even though the Flame Zombie currently only fires single shots, later on, its attack range could broaden, releasing dozens of large Fireballs at once!

More frightening was that the Fireballs had explosive effects, greatly enhancing their destructive power!

And in most Corpse Tides, there wouldn't be just one or two of these Elemental Zombies.

Ji Ruxue also remembered once fighting against a massive Corpse Tide at a large Survivor Base in her previous life.

The scale of that Corpse Tide was terrifying, with dozens of Elemental Zombies alone!

These Elemental Zombies were often shielded by other Evolved Zombies, compensating for their inability to fight at range.

The overwhelming Elemental attacks flying out from the Corpse Tide constantly bombarded the Survivor Base from afar.

This was humans' first realization of the terrifying power of Elemental Zombies gathering together, catching the Survivor Base off guard. It was unexpected that zombies could have so many ranged attack methods.

And it was precisely because of the Elemental Zombies that the modern heat weaponry advantage humans had in Ji Ruxue's Survivor Base was negated.

"Controlling an Elemental Zombie so quickly, it seems Dad won't take long to build a truly powerful zombie army." Ji Ruxue murmured, gazing at the distant 'Flame One' displaying its might.

On the other side, Lu Chuan was delighted with the attack unleashed by Flame One.

"The evolutionary path of zombies in this world is indeed peculiar, with zombies of all types."

"But if I could have more zombies capable of releasing flames, then my Corpse Puppet unit's combat power would change dramatically!"

Lu Chuan was very excited, having recruited another powerful ally.

Ever since learning of the human Survivor Base on the outskirts of Jianghai City, Lu Chuan had been quite apprehensive.

After all, even though his Corpse Puppet team was strong enough to face ordinary human survivor groups,

a Survivor Base established near a major city must have human military stationed there.

In Lu Chuan's eyes, the modern human military's long-range firepower posed the greatest threat. No matter how fast 'Lightning One' ran, it would still be shot to pieces under modern firepower suppression.

But the Flame Zombie was different. Its ability for ranged attacks gave Lu Chuan great confidence. With a dozen Flame Zombies, Lu Chuan was confident in facing human troops head-on!

However, after some manipulation, Lu Chuan also understood the Flame Zombie's shortcoming: 'Flame One's' physical durability was too poor compared to other Evolved Zombies.

Even a leaner agility zombie had far superior physical endurance than the Flame Zombie.

But in Lu Chuan's view, this was normal. After all, being capable of long-range attacks with strong firepower, a zombie with both powerful attacks and robust physique would be an invincible existence!

Being a Mage, it's naturally supposed to be a glass cannon.

But this isn't much of a problem. Since 'Flame One's' body isn't great, I'll just equip it with gear.

Lu Chuan remembered the scales he had saved from the slaughtered Mutated Golden Python, knowing how tough they were.

The body of that Tier-2 Mutated Golden Python reached a terrifying 20 meters. When processing the meat of the Mutated Giant Python, Lu Chuan had kept all those scales.

It now seemed that these scales could play a role, equipping 'Flame One' with what was essentially heavy armor.

Though not comparable to 'Da Pang', they would be far superior to the Flame Zombie's own defense.

Who can handle a Mage in heavy armor?

As long as it doesn't die, it can keep dealing damage!

Then, Lu Chuan noticed Little Qiqi watching him intently, thinking the little one was curious about the commotion he had caused.

Lu Chuan waved to summon Little Qiqi over, then took out paper and pen to write: "Little Qiqi, do you want to see some fireworks?"

Ji Ruxue was momentarily confused, but quickly caught on upon seeing the Flame Zombie nearby.

"Hehe, sure Dad, I've read about fireworks on the learning machine, but I've never seen such things!"

Lu Chuan lifted Ji Ruxue up onto his shoulders, "Little Qiqi, just point in any direction, and I'll open your eyes!"

"Hahaha! Dad! Fire away!"

Ji Ruxue casually pointed toward an open space nearby, and Lu Chuan immediately had 'Flame One' unleash a line of fire.

"Wow! Dad, this uncle is amazing! Is this some kind of superpower?!"

Ji Ruxue exclaimed with wide-eyed innocence.

Hearing the melodious sound of the little one's voice, Lu Chuan was elated, directing 'Flame One' to fire wherever she pointed, hosting a grand display of artillery near Qingshui Farm!
