"Reporting to the Warlord, there are currently nine corpse pits in the city where ice corpses have awakened. The number is estimated to be more than four thousand..."
"One of the barriers was broken, and about 500 zombies ran out. The Central Third Army has begun to hunt..."
"More than 10,000 people were mobilized to garrison the other thirteen corpse pits..."
…
One after another military news came to the Military and Administrative Office. At this moment, in the meeting hall, dozens of generals waited with bated breath, looking solemn.
Listening to these military reports, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn, and finally they couldn't hold it back any longer, "Warlord, why are there sudden changes in these corpse pits? How come those zombies suddenly wake up?"
"What's the point of asking this now? We must send troops immediately to destroy them!"
"It's easy to say, we have no way of knowing how many of these ghost things are buried under these corpse pits. If we act so recklessly, we will suffer big losses! We cannot let the soldiers die in vain!"
"You are just too forward-thinking. The current situation does not allow you to think about things? Hesitate again and again?"
"alright."
Guan Zhixing interrupted everyone's quarrel, "Right now, it's important to control the situation first. There are corpse pits not only in Jinghuang City, but also in other places. It seems that the army of corpses has begun to take action. We must be prepared for a full-scale war to break out."
"For the rest, just follow what was discussed before. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
"Also, let people go check the sky. I suspect there is something wrong with the lightning..."
"You will eventually understand!"
A series of calm and composed orders were given, and everyone quickly dispersed.
"Does the warlord suspect that those thunder and lightning will cause those zombies to wake up?"
"This situation cannot be ruled out, but... we cannot draw premature conclusions before we find out the facts. Have you contacted God?"
"Not yet. It's strange. There shouldn't be any news about Emperor Zun for so long..."
"It seems that something may have happened to Emperor Zun as well..."
His face was heavy and thoughtful.
What a coincidence, after they received the news that Ling Xuewei had been kidnapped, there was a sudden movement in the corpse pit in the city, and the zombies also woke up, and Emperor Zun could not be contacted...
All of this was obviously done intentionally by the other party.
"Don't you want us to go over and save people..."
This King of Tianqu is truly evil!
…
Soon, it was dawn.
Guanzhixing has been contacting the Wilderness side, but the news they can get is that there is no result yet.
He waited anxiously, and military reports continued to come from the city. At the same time, they also found out that it was indeed the cause of those lightnings. The secret guards discovered a suspicious person a hundred miles away from the city.
When they were discovered, those people were casting spells. Apparently, those thunderclouds were summoned by them.
They fought with these people, but were eventually run away by the other party.
The formation has been activated and cannot be turned off. They can only return to the city and report to the peak.
As the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, more ice zombies woke up under the lightning. This time they were prepared. Through the monitoring screen, they finally saw clearly the whole process of the zombies waking up.
Lightning struck the corpse pit, and the frozen zombies seemed to have passed through an electric current. The originally silent zombies suddenly opened their eyes!
It was like finally having a pulse and a heartbeat, waking up from a deep sleep.
Next, one zombie after another woke up... They broke free from the ice, jumped out of the corpse pit, and began to spread in all directions.
But before these zombies could rush out, they were blocked back by the barrier deployed by the army in advance.
The surrounding area has long been occupied by thousands of warriors, and the barrier masters are also ready to prepare...
At dawn, more than 90% of the corpse pits in Jinghuang City finally woke up!
But there was no movement in the only two places left. Because the dark clouds overhead had gradually dispersed, and the thunder and lightning also disappeared...
It seems that just as they guessed, thunder and lightning are the key to awakening these frozen zombies.
The secret guards sent out interrupted those people's spellcasting, so the thunder and lightning did not wake up all the ice corpses.
After thinking about this, Guanzhixing immediately asked soldiers to convey this discovery to the garrison bases in various towns.
At this time, it was dawn.
After waiting anxiously for so long, news finally came from the wilderness.
"What did you say?!"
In the room, Guan Zhixing was communicating via video chat with Huangfu Chen.
"We failed to rescue Xuewei, and the 10,000 soldiers we sent have lost 40%. Xuewei wants me to tell you that King Tianqu's resurrection plan has been successful. This time, we fought against the four zombies he resurrected.
, Captain Zitong was seriously injured, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed or injured..."
The more I listen to Guanzhixing, the more frightened I become!
His fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice!
"Surprisingly...so fast..."
"We need more troops, otherwise we will not be able to stop the zombie army! Those four zombies are too strong. They are at least above the level of supernatural power, maybe... higher. If such monsters can be continuously created,
Then we... are too passive! We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the power of the zombie army will become stronger!"
"I understand, I will convene a military meeting immediately, but right now, we may be in big trouble... The originally frozen zombies have awakened..."
Guan Zhixing quickly explained the situation here. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Chen was not surprised.
"Sure enough, he deliberately delayed us and prevented us from sending troops to rescue..."
This man is still as thoughtful as before! He will do whatever it takes!
"What about the Nine? Is there any news?"
"Not yet..."
Huangfuchen thought of what Xuewei said in his ear before leaving, and his heart became heavier for a moment.
"Give me half a day and I will dispatch another 10,000 troops."
"No, nothing can happen to you right now. I have a way..."
After cutting off the communication, Huangfuchen thought for a moment and immediately contacted Di Jian.
Soon, there was a connection sound from the other side.
"Damn it! You finally have news!" Di Jian's angry voice came.
"Old Di, I don't have time to argue with you, something happened here..."
Huangfu Chen told what happened in just a few words. When Di Jian heard this, he was immediately shocked!
Putting aside his usual casual demeanor, he became serious and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find Uncle Rong."
After a while, Rong Batian's voice appeared in the communication.
There are also the voices of Meng Yu and Lu Qingzhu.
Everyone came because they learned about Ling Xuewei.
"Chenzi, what we want is that you continue to stay there, and we will rush to Jinghuang City to meet you. But on the other side of Jinghuang City, you need to inform the inspector first."
Rong Batian spoke.
"I understand, and I will inform him. However, if something happens to Mirror Imperial City, the Independent State... may not be spared."
"In the Independent State, I will let your Uncle Lu and Uncle Meng sit in charge."
