Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 182: Corpse Tide in the Imperial Capital! The Corpse King Emerges!



At this moment in the conference room, a video was being played.

The scene in the video made all the high-ranking officials present feel chills down their spines.

On the large screen, an endless mass of zombies was seen moving in one direction, as if they had a target.

From time to time, these zombies let out roars, looking like a black mass of ants from the sky.

The abandoned vehicles along the way were all overturned by these zombies.

Within this massive horde, there were many Evolved Zombies with enhanced physiques.

In everyone's understanding, zombies were a bunch of mindless bloodthirsty monsters.

There was no contact among zombies, and it was impossible for them to initiate large-scale migrations like humans or other creatures.

Most of the zombies survivors encountered were just wandering the streets.

They would only suddenly charge madly towards a region when they discovered prey.

Usually, zombie movements were aimless, without any crowd-following traits.

But the scene presented in the video playing in the conference hall was completely different from what everyone understood before.

"Everyone must have seen it, this is what the Imperial Capital captured through drone footage."

"For some unknown reason, those bloodthirsty zombies have all gathered together."

"At first, no one paid attention to it, but unknowingly this small group of zombies grew larger and larger, forming the massive Corpse Tide we see now!"

A middle-aged man in military uniform, sitting beside the screen, spoke with a gloomy expression.

"What on earth is going on? How can a group of brainless zombies display such strong cohesion?"

Currently, humanity had survived the early days of doomsday and was slowly adapting to the zombie crisis, starting to establish Survivor Bases in various places.

Everywhere was gradually developing its own strength, preparing to rebuild life after the apocalypse.

But this huge Corpse Tide before them was beyond everyone's imagination.

The faces of the high-ranking officials from the Jianghai City Survivor Base were exceedingly grim.

There was no doubt that in the face of this horrific Corpse Tide, the existing Jianghai City Survivor Base was no match.

"Has the Imperial Capital found out what's going on? Is there any way to deal with it?"

Everyone looked hopefully towards the middle-aged man; the atmosphere in the conference hall was extremely heavy due to the massive Corpse Tide.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and then said heavily, "The Imperial Capital has revealed that it's very likely there's a high-level zombie commanding the Corpse Tide..."

As soon as the words fell, the conference hall became deathly silent, no one could believe their ears.

"What did you say?! There's a zombie commanding these Corpse Tides?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! They're just a bunch of brainless monsters, aren't they?!"

"This Corpse Tide is a black mass, stretching endlessly with unknown numbers, how could they be intentionally gathered together?!"

Facing the news from the Imperial Capital, the high-ranking officials of the Jianghai City Survivor Base were in utter shock, unwilling to believe such statements, or perhaps they simply dared not believe the news.

Since the outbreak of the doomsday crisis, humanity on the entire planet had dwindled to less than ten percent of its original number.

Factories halted, politics collapsed, society was chaotically disordered with surviving as a primary concern.

Yet humans still hadn't given up hope.

Survivor Bases were constantly being established in different places, working together to survive the crisis and restore order and life as it once was.

And this was on the premise that humans knew these zombies were nothing more than mindless entities.

Even though zombies were tremendously powerful and posed a deadly threat, the gap in intelligence gave humans confidence that they could reclaim the world over time.

However, the news disclosed by the Imperial Capital now was undoubtedly a heavy blow that shattered everyone's confidence. If zombies were intelligent, where would humanity head to?!

The many high-ranking officials in the conference room fell silent, some puzzled, others shocked, and some with self-mockery on their faces.

One elderly man took off his glasses, rubbed his brow, and sneered, "In my opinion, if what the Imperial Capital said is true, there's no need for us to establish Survivor Bases."

"The reason we are alive today is because these zombies are mindless and lack any discipline, allowing us to barely survive in a world full of zombies."

"Now that the Imperial Capital says there's a high-level zombie commanding the Corpse Tide, does that mean these zombies already have intelligence?"

The person next to him also voiced doubts, "I still can't understand how these zombies, just a bunch of dead bodies, could possibly evolve intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head with a cold smile, "Haven't we encountered enough bizarre things in the apocalypse?"

"The corpses you call long dead can stand up and attack humans, so why couldn't they evolve intelligence?"

For a moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent, a heavy gloom shrouded over everyone's heart.

If zombies awaken intelligence, the current human advantage will no longer exist.

"I know this result is hard to accept, and everyone feels helpless, but we have no choice but to accept this fact."

The middle-aged man stood up, a look of authority flashed in his eyes as he surveyed the people before him.

"All of you here are the top leaders of the base, we must accept the fact that these bloodthirsty zombies are constantly evolving, otherwise there's only the path to death!"

Hearing this, everyone present sighed helplessly and then nodded one after another.

"Since the Imperial Capital has investigated these Corpse Tides, have they given any instructions? Have they clearly identified the type of zombie capable of commanding zombies and organizing a Corpse Tide?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "According to information from the Imperial Capital, this is a type of Evolved Zombie that has never appeared before."

"It possesses intelligence not found in other zombies and has the ability to control lower-level zombies.

"So far, this type of zombie is extremely cautious and uses the Corpse Tide to protect itself; it will not appear in frontal battles."

"The Imperial Capital has named this type of zombie... the Corpse King!"

Hiss~

Everyone drew a sharp breath upon hearing it, sensing the terror merely from the name.

"The name 'Corpse King' is indeed imposing, it seems the Imperial Capital attaches great importance to this type of zombie."

"Everyone listen, the threat posed by this type of zombie far exceeds other zombies."

"We must disseminate information about the Corpse King as soon as possible; if any Evolutionary Squad encounters an Evolved Zombie suspected to be the Corpse King, it must be reported immediately!"
