Wasteland Commander-Chapter 415 - 106: The Horde Crosses the River

Liu Chang is one of Zheng Jinnan’s adopted sons and is deeply trusted by Zheng Jinnan.

This time, he is entrusted with an important mission, which is to control the Corpse King.

Now he is following the zombie horde, having already entered the suburban areas of Zhonghai.

At this moment, he is inside the pouch of a mutant kangaroo.

Not only him, but even the chubby Corpse King is curled up in the pouch of another kangaroo, with his head exposed outside.

The mutant kangaroos are over three meters tall, and they look like baby kangaroos when curled up in the pouch.

After entering Zhonghai, the zombie horde hid within the vast city, no longer worried about being discovered by the Dawn Army.

"Indeed! The Dawn Army really didn’t come to strike this zombie horde; my father’s guess was correct!"

"Next, it’s my turn to perform."

Liu Chang communicated with the Corpse King, and the chubby Corpse King nodded.

The horde of three million zombies began to disperse.

Those responsible for covering them all dropped some items and then entered Zhonghai City, becoming part of the Zhonghai zombie horde.

And the remaining one and a half million zombies, excluding mutated birds and rats, swiftly underwent modifications.

The stuff thrown by the ordinary zombies was swimming rings and flippers.

In the past, those zombies with brains full of mush were now under the Corpse King’s command, starting to put swimming rings on their bodies and flippers on their feet.

Yes, these zombies have been modified to the point where they can even use firearms, and putting things on themselves is now achievable.

In a short time, all the zombies wore swimming rings and put on flippers.

This even included quite a few Level 3 zombies; these zombies are also the main force in this attack on Dawn Island.

Once all zombies were equipped, the mutant rats, mutated birds, and mutant beasts were no longer needed.

Because most of them can swim, and mutated birds can directly fly over.

Liu Chang looked up; tonight was a cloudy night.

The sky showed no trace of starlight or moonlight, making it a perfect time for a sneak attack.

He checked the time; it was already eleven-thirty at night.

He did not communicate with Zheng Jinnan as it was unnecessary.

Once the battle starts here, Jiangzhou would also take action.

"Ye Fan! I’m coming!"

Liu Chang gave the order to the Corpse King, and the Corpse King relayed the order to the zombie horde.

All zombies began to enter the water, using swimming rings to maintain buoyancy and flippers for paddling; they moved diagonally along the river!

And beside the zombie horde, a large number of mutant rats and mutated birds started crossing Celestial River.

They needed to reach before the zombie horde to launch an attack on Dawn Island, also covering the zombies crossing the river.

If the zombie horde could successfully land, it would surely bring a devastating disaster to Dawn Island!

......

Ye Fan returned to the council building, preparing to rest well for the night.

But he had just fallen asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Ye Fan groggily got up and saw that it was Ye Luo and Qin Sibei outside.

The two young girls had rosy cheeks and smelled of alcohol; they had been drinking.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but frown: "You two have been drinking in the middle of the night?"

Ye Luo staggered into Ye Fan’s bedroom, burping before speaking: "Burp! Bro! You’re still young, why sleep so early? Come and drink with Sibei and me."

Following Ye Luo, Qin Sibei grabbed her clothes cautiously and entered: "Brother Ye, we’re worried about you. You’ve been gloomy these days, so we wanted to keep you relaxed."

Ye Fan laughed in anger: "You’re both drunk and still say you’re here to help me relax?"

"Well... We wouldn’t dare disturb you without a little drink."

Qin Sibei’s logic rendered Ye Fan speechless, but since they were already here, he couldn’t drive them away: "Then you sit down, I’ll wash my face to perk myself up."

Ye Luo was clearly drunk, sitting on Ye Fan’s bed and lying down, muttering words unintelligible and almost ready to sleep.

Meanwhile, Qin Sibei sat on the chair, watching Ye Fan return after washing his face, her bright eyes looking quite awake.

Ye Fan recalled Qin Sibei’s reminder that zombies lose their senses in rainwater, feeling grateful.

He sat opposite Qin Sibei: "Sibei, how did you know zombies lose their senses in rainwater? You don’t seem to have any field adventure experience."

Qin Sibei tilted her head slightly: "I may be an ordinary person, but I love researching zombies. I know lots of stuff about zombies; you can ask me anything, Brother Ye."

"Really? Then let me ask you."

Perhaps Qin Sibei’s adorable demeanor won him over, Ye Fan smiled as he spoke: "Do you know how many levels zombies can evolve to?"

Qin Sibei answered immediately: "Four levels."

Ye Fan laughed heartily: "Wrong, it can only evolve up to three levels."

Unexpectedly, Qin Sibe directly rebuffed, "Normally, they evolve to Level 3, but there are special circumstances."

"Oh! What special circumstances?" Ye Fan’s face grew heavy, zombies evolving to Level 3 are already troublesome enough, if they evolve to Level 4, how can one deal with that?

Moreover, he has been through the apocalypse for so long, what scene hasn’t he experienced, how come he’s never heard of Level 4 evolution?

This Qin Sibe, could she be just talking nonsense?

Qin Sibe ignored Ye Fan’s questioning gaze, "Zombies in the wild are generally divided into two types: Strength Type and Agility Type, Strength Type is targeted at male zombies, Agility Type is targeted at female zombies."

"Yes, I know this, male zombies evolve once, that’s Iron Armor, female zombies evolve once, that’s agility."

"Exactly, but Brother Ye knows about a type of fat zombie that sprays poisonous water, right?"

Of course Ye Fan knows, this type of fat zombie sprays strong acid liquid, once such zombies approach the city, the trouble is not small.

"Does Brother Ye think that these zombies count as Level 1 evolution?"

Ye Fan was momentarily stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn’t answer.

Saying the fat zombies evolved doesn’t fit the standard of evolution, saying they haven’t evolved yet they’re much tougher than ordinary zombies, even tougher than Level 1 evolved zombies.

Seeing Ye Fan unable to answer, Qin Sibe continued with a smile, "These zombies are just a special breed, they haven’t evolved but have gained abilities comparable to evolution because they drink too much water, and actually in the zombie community, this counts as evolution, essentially making them Level 1 evolution."

Ye Fan blinked, he found Qin Sibe’s words very reasonable, unexpectedly, he was actually being taught by a young girl.

"Is there more? What else do you know? What about other zombie types?"

"Others... for example, Corpse Kings should also be like this, normal wild Corpse Kings, after becoming Corpse Kings, have the ability to control up to a million zombies, this is called a Level 1 Corpse King, but some Corpse Kings born from other reasons may lack abilities, this should also happen, they can also be called Level 1 Corpse King."

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately thought of Wang Huining.

This Corpse King is precisely a Level 1 Corpse King, but he can control a maximum of three hundred thousand zombies, which is an exception.

Qin Sibe continued, "Since ordinary zombies and Corpse Kings both have special circumstances, then Advanced Zombies and Advanced Corpse Kings might also have unexpected incidents, if a certain Level 3 Zombie or Level 3 Corpse King encounters an accident, then Level 4 might be born."

Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask, "Then how many can a Level 4 Corpse King control?"

"Estimated to start at ten million, the upper limit... well, I don’t know."

"Ten million start... didn’t expect that such a Corpse King might exist in the wild, luckily our Dawn Island is an isolated island, not worried about zombie landings, otherwise I really have to be cautious."

Qin Sibe squinted her eyes and smiled at Ye Fan, "Not necessarily, the more Advanced the Corpse King, the stronger the control over zombies, when the Corpse King is powerful to a certain extent, they can even teach ordinary zombies to use weapons, teach them to swim and climb trees, even teach them manners, although your Dawn Island is surrounded by water, it’s not without the possibility of being landed by zombies."

"Ah! Can such things really happen?"

Qin Sibe nodded affirmatively, "It’s possible, if a certain Corpse King intends to surprise you, he will definitely find a way to cross the Celestial River, Brother Ye best be cautious."

Ye Fan felt more heaviness in his heart after listening.

Although what Qin Sibe said can’t be easily verified now, he felt it was better to be safe than sorry.

He immediately called the communicator, instructing them to closely monitor the Celestial River surface, and the surrounding riverfront situation.

After giving the instructions, Ye Fan poured a cup of wine for Qin Sibe.

"Sibe, thanks for the last time, in the future you’ll be living here, like my family, I’ll treat you like kin, your lifetime pocket money, Brother Ye has it covered for you!"

Qin Sibe’s moist, bright eyes looked at Ye Fan, raised the wine glass and clinked it with his, "Then Brother Ye don’t forget your words, to support me for a lifetime."

"No problem, I mean what I say!"

Ye Fan drank a glass of red wine in one gulp, finding Qin Sibe increasingly pleasing to the eye.

At that moment, the communicator returned.

"Commander, according to your recent request, the radar station personnel focused on monitoring the river surface and found some situations, please immediately check the radar screen."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan hurriedly opened the radar he carried to check.

The radar station personnel also kept alert, "Commander, on the south side of Celestial River, southwest direction, the distribution of light points is somewhat unusual, seems extraordinarily numerous."

Receiving the alert, Ye Fan also noticed the issue.

Only to see on the southwest bank of Celestial River, large groups of zombies and mutant beasts are gathering.

These zombies and mutant beasts are silently entering the Celestial River.

Celestial River has many mutant fish, all densely packed purple light points.

These zombies and mutant beasts mixed in there, making them difficult to detect for a while.

Initially, Ye Fan thought they were all mutant fish, but upon careful observation, realized something was wrong.

These zombies and mutant beasts, if moving along at this speed and direction, will eventually land southwest of Dawn Island.

And that direction has always had no particular defense, if landed...

"Notify the First Field Brigade, assemble at the southwest corner, give them five minutes, Dawn Army full wake up, prepare for battle!"

Ye Fan could no longer sit still, he got up and walked out directly.

As he left, he glanced at Qin Sibe.

Qin Sibe holding the red wine, smiled and drank, as Ye Fan looked over, she waved to him.

"Brother Ye, you’re the best!"

A strange feeling rose in Ye Fan’s heart, but at this moment, there was no time for more thought.

If no accidents happen, Zheng Jinnan will be making his move over there!
