Chapter 507: Building a Base, Collecting Zombie Crystals!

Organizing the current technology of the [Resident Evil World] was Zhu Ying's first step. For him, having finally managed to defeat the Umbrella Corporation, it was only natural to seize as many resources as possible from this current world.

Aside from technology, what moved Zhu Ying the most were the collected zombie crystals.

To be fair, these crystals contained incredibly powerful energy, and furthermore, these so-called zombie crystals could assist in the advancement of one's cultivation.

In fact, traces of spiritual qi could even be discovered within these crystals.

It was no exaggeration to say that these so-called zombie crystals were treasures.

Once brought back to the Great Ming World, they could be used to refine medicinal pills, drastically increasing the strength of the Great Ming Empire.

...

Just then.

Liu Lei, serving as the commander of the Royal Guards, arrived at the underground base.

"This general greets the Imperial Grandson!"

After leading a group of Royal Guards to the site, Liu Lei hurriedly bowed to Zhu Ying.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Imperial Grandson."

As Liu Lei stood up, Zhu Ying issued his first command.

"Liu Lei, immediately establish a stronghold within Raccoon City. This will be the Great Ming Empire's first stronghold in the [Resident Evil World]!"

"In the future, the armies of the Great Ming Empire will enter this stronghold through the [Spatial Portal]."

In Zhu Ying's view, Raccoon City was the place with the highest concentration of zombies in this world. Building a Great Ming Empire stronghold in Raccoon City would allow them to kill zombies in close proximity and obtain zombie crystals!

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's command, Liu Lei naturally did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly accepting the order: "This general obeys!"

After Zhu Ying finished destroying Umbrella Corporation's base in Raccoon City, he, along with Alice, Dr. William, and several hundred scientists, arrived outside the base.

At the same time, a massive number of zombies converged around the base!

Looking as far as the eye could see, they were dense and incredibly numerous.

After all, the commotion caused by Zhu Ying and Alice inside the base had been too great.

Naturally, it attracted a vast number of zombies.

To be honest.

When Zhu Ying saw so many zombies converging, his heart was actually filled with excitement.

Because he knew very well that the more zombies there were, the more zombie crystals he would obtain, which in turn would make the national strength of the Great Ming Empire even stronger.

"Liu Lei!"

"This general is here!"

When Zhu Ying called Liu Lei's name, Liu Lei immediately responded.

Zhu Ying spoke to Liu Lei in a cold tone: "Immediately lead the Royal Guards and kill all the zombies in this vicinity!"

"Then, collect their zombie crystals!"

Following Zhu Ying's command, Liu Lei did not hesitate and quickly accepted the order.

"This general obeys!"

Soon.

Liu Lei led the army of Royal Guards to launch a fierce offensive against the surrounding zombies.

These three thousand Royal Guard soldiers were all wearing protective battle armor, so ordinary zombies posed no threat to them.

"Brothers!"

"Charge!"

At Liu Lei's command, in an instant, the three thousand Royal Guard soldiers sprinted toward the crowd of zombies with lightning speed!

Preliminary estimates suggested the number of zombies had reached tens of thousands, while the Royal Guards numbered only three thousand.

Although the Royal Guards held no numerical advantage, it must be said that their combat effectiveness was quite astonishing.

Wielding battle sabers, the Royal Guards immediately charged into the zombie swarm, continuously hacking and slashing.

Although these zombies were quite ferocious, truth be told, when faced with the Royal Guards, they had no power to fight back.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

One-third of the zombies were easily slain by the Royal Guards.

It was evident.

Even if Zhu Ying did not personally intervene, with the combat power of these three thousand Royal Guards, they could still wipe out this entire swarm of zombies.

Standing beside Zhu Ying, Alice felt a surge of profound emotion upon seeing the strength of the Royal Guards.

She had not expected that an ancient Eastern army would not fall behind at all when facing zombies, and would even drive them into a retreating rout!

Suddenly.

Alice became even more interested in Zhu Ying.

Seeing signs that the zombies were about to flee, Zhu Ying immediately mobilized his true qi and shouted to the three thousand Royal Guard soldiers: "Do not let these zombies escape!"

"Kill them all!!"

Quickly.

The Royal Guard army suddenly began to exert themselves, continuously swinging their sabers, slashing directly at any zombie they saw!

In less than an hour, looking around, the area surrounding the base was almost entirely covered in zombie corpses.

Furthermore.

Upon these zombie corpses lay glowing zombie crystals.

"Liu Lei, collect these zombie crystals immediately!"

Zhu Ying knew these crystals were precious goods, so he immediately issued the order for Liu Lei to lead the Royal Guard army to collect them all.

However...

Just as the Royal Guard soldiers were focused on collecting the crystals, another wave of zombies was approaching the base from the distance.

And!

The number of zombies arriving this time was even greater than before, and there were even many Lickers and giant zombies!

When Zhu Ying first arrived in this world, he had encountered giant zombies and Lickers.

Therefore, Zhu Ying knew very well that the strength of these so-called giant zombies and Lickers was extremely high, and these zombies were capable of destroying the armor worn by the Royal Guard soldiers.

Thus, Zhu Ying said to Alice beside him: "It is your turn to act."

"Alright." Alice did not refuse. After all, through her contact with Zhu Ying during this period, she had confirmed that he was a good person.

At the very least, Zhu Ying had indeed used his own strength to eradicate the entire Umbrella Corporation.

And he had allowed Alice to complete her revenge.

In a sense, Zhu Ying was Alice's benefactor.

Therefore, when Zhu Ying asked her to act, Alice naturally did not hesitate.

In the blink of an eye.

Alice charged directly toward the giant zombies!

Alice's reaction speed was extremely fast, and she could also utilize powerful telekinesis to cause destruction.

It could be said that letting Alice deal with the giant zombies was the best choice.

Additionally.

Upon seeing Alice take action, Liu Lei immediately ordered his men to withdraw from the battlefield to prevent them from being infected by the giant zombies.

Of course, Liu Lei did not choose to stand idly by.

Although the Royal Guard soldiers did not engage in melee combat with the giant zombies, they picked up bows and arrows and began a long-range assault!

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

For a time, ten thousand arrows were released at once, raining down madly upon the giant zombies. Combined with Alice's powerful telekinetic destruction.

These dozens of giant zombies were killed directly.

But just then, suddenly, dozens of Lickers rushed toward Alice.

In fact, one Licker even came from behind Alice, scratching her with incredibly sharp claws.

If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly have been infected, but Alice's blood happened to be immune to zombie infection.

So... Alice was not harmed, but this injury instead completely enraged her.

In the following moments.

Alice continuously unleashed her powerful telekinesis, even tearing a Licker in half!

However.

Although Alice was strong, the number of Lickers she faced this time was simply too great.

Gradually.

Alice began to feel strained.

At that moment, Zhu Ying finally made his move.

Zhu Ying immediately performed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

A moment later.

A massive dragon shimmering with golden light flew directly toward the swarm of Lickers. Although the Lickers moved quite fast, they still suffered the dragon's destructive power.

Almost in an instant.

This golden dragon pierced directly through the bodies of the Lickers; immediately, a Licker died violently on the spot.

Subsequently.

The golden dragon charged in other directions, continuously searching for the positions of other Lickers. In a flash, the dragon killed all dozens of Lickers!

This was Zhu Ying's strength.

Once Zhu Ying acted, there was no doubt that no matter how many Lickers there were, they would never be a match for him.

"Liu Lei!"

"Collect these zombie crystals."

As Zhu Ying's voice fell, Liu Lei immediately followed his orders, leading the Royal Guards to collect the crystals from the zombie corpses.

Through comparison, it was clearly visible that the crystals within Licker corpses were the most numerous, followed by the giant zombies, while ordinary zombies had the fewest.

This corresponded perfectly to their strength.

The Lickers had the strongest combat power, followed by the giant zombies, with the ordinary zombies being the weakest.

Before long.

The Royal Guard soldiers finished clearing the battlefield and had collected all the zombie crystals. Afterward, Zhu Ying ordered that all the zombie corpses be burned.

Of course.

Zhu Ying was well aware that the number of zombies they had just faced was not all the zombies in Raccoon City. To resolve the security of Raccoon City as quickly as possible, Zhu Ying issued a new command to Liu Lei.

"I will give you ten days to continue encircling and suppressing the zombies in this city. Additionally, you must establish a stronghold here in Raccoon City!"

"From now on, this place shall be the Great Ming Empire's stronghold in the [Resident Evil World]!"

Hearing this, Liu Lei naturally did not hesitate, hurriedly saying: "This general obeys!"

Thus.

In the following period, Liu Lei led the Royal Guards to begin clearing the zombies within the city. In addition, a portion of the Royal Guard soldiers began building the Great Ming stronghold atop the Umbrella Corporation base.

...

About half a month later.

The Great Ming stronghold was officially completed.

Currently.

Upon the base in Raccoon City, tall walls had been built. Ordinary zombies, and even giant zombies, could not break through these high walls.

However, for Lickers, it was relatively easy!

After all, Lickers were quite agile, and combined with their immense jumping ability, they could almost leap onto the walls with a single forceful jump.

Zhu Ying had naturally thought of this. Therefore, once the walls were completed, Zhu Ying utilized his magical power.

He used true qi to coat the top of the walls.

In this way, a wall of true qi was formed atop the structure. Although it appeared transparent, it was actually enveloped by true qi.

As long as a Licker jumped onto this true qi wall, they would be instantly killed by the energy!

At first.

Some Lickers would attempt to secretly attack the stronghold at night, trying to leap over the walls to ambush the Great Ming soldiers, but because of the true qi wall, these attempting Lickers were killed directly!

From then on, no Licker dared to attack again.

Now.

Within the walls, the Great Ming Empire had constructed many military camps.

Additionally, the fifty thousand elite troops previously within the Great Ming Empire territory had also entered the base through the [Spatial Portal]!

Therefore.

At this moment, within the stronghold, in addition to the three thousand Royal Guards, there were fifty thousand elite troops.

The main reason Zhu Ying had brought these fifty thousand troops was to gradually occupy the [Resident Evil World]!

In Zhu Ying's view, although he had defeated the Umbrella Corporation, there were still a massive number of zombies existing in this world.

According to the data presented by the Red Queen, there were approximately billions of zombies globally!

The number was quite exaggerated.

Moreover.

With the current strength of the Great Ming Empire, attempting to eliminate all the zombies in the entire world in a short amount of time was too difficult and impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Zhu Ying decided to establish military strongholds in Raccoon City and then use the [Spatial Portal] to deploy the Great Ming's elite armies here.

Then, using Raccoon City as a central point, they would gradually expand outward, clearing zombies and collecting their zombie crystals!

Although the Great Ming Empire currently only had over fifty thousand troops in this world, in the future, Zhu Ying would certainly continue to invest more troops into the [Resident Evil World].

He aimed to strive to clear all the zombies in this world.

...

Of course, for Zhu Ying, his focus remained on the Great Ming Empire.

Now, Zhu Ying had already taken control of several hundred scientists and engineers from the Umbrella Corporation.

And these people were the talents required for the development of the Great Ming Empire!

According to Zhu Ying's plan, these hundreds of scientists and engineers would be the first to enter the world of the Great Ming Empire.

They would lay down electricity, oil, and gas for the Great Ming, and build some basic modern technology to allow the Great Ming to rapidly initiate modern civilization!

This was the point Zhu Ying valued most.

In fact, Zhu Ying had originally thought that the Great Ming Empire's entry into the prelude of the technological age would take a considerable amount of time.

But looking at it now, the time would be much shorter than he had anticipated.

Ultimately, it was all because of the Umbrella Corporation.

In order to dominate the world, the Umbrella Corporation had naturally recruited the top scientists of the current world, but now it appeared that these scientists had all defected to the Great Ming.

Instead, this allowed the Great Ming Empire to quickly gain the opportunity to enter modern civilization!

In addition to this.

Zhu Ying had also dismantled the Red Queen's main brain chip, modules, and so on.

According to Zhu Ying's idea, once the Great Ming Empire entered the age of electricity, they could be put into use to become the Great Ming Empire's data mainframe!

With such a top-tier artificial intelligence, the development of the Great Ming Empire would naturally become even more rapid.
