Chapter 496: Announcing the Resident Evil World! Shock!

After opening the [Resident Evil World], Zhu Ying did not hesitate; he immediately made his way to the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Clearly, for Zhu Ying, he needed to share this matter with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and the others.

At this moment.

Inside the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading through some memorials; in fact, he didn't even notice Zhu Ying's arrival.

He was reading with profound absorption.

"Old Man, what are you reading? You're so focused?" Zhu Ying's sudden voice gave Zhu Yuanzhang quite a fright.

Zhu Yuanzhang placed the memorial on the table and asked Zhu Ying, "Xiongying, why have you come so suddenly!"

"You didn't even give notice; you gave us quite a start."

Zhu Ying said with a smile, "Old Man, Xiongying has come this time to tell you something important."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard it was something important, his expression immediately turned serious.

"Something important?"

"Then there is no time to lose, speak quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great agitation.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, as long as what Zhu Ying said was important, it naturally had to be treated with gravity.

Seeing how nervous Zhu Yuanzhang was, Zhu Ying, on the other hand, appeared extremely calm.

Zhu Ying spoke with a composed emotion, "Old Man, there is no need for you to be so nervous. Although the matter is important, let's wait until Father arrives to discuss it together."

"Wait until Biao'er arrives to speak?" Seeing Zhu Ying say this, to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood only grew more anxious.

"Xiongying, just say it quickly, don't keep us in suspense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in an urgent tone.

Clearly.

For the current Old Zhu, he truly wanted to know this important matter as soon as possible from the bottom of his heart.

However...

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was so curious, Zhu Ying remained steady.

In the next second.

Zhu Ying said expressionlessly, "Old Man, haste makes waste."

"Besides, although this matter is important, it is not urgent. So, let's wait until Father arrives before we talk."

"How about this, I'll play a game of chess with you first?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could only nod slightly and say, "Fine, since that is the case, let us play a match!"

With that said.

Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly had someone bring over a chessboard.

...

Not long after.

Zhu Biao, serving as the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Empire, arrived at the Wenyuan Pavilion. At the same time, Zhu Wenxi accompanied him.

"Xiongying, what is it about, exactly?" Upon seeing Zhu Ying, Zhu Biao also asked with an urgent tone.

However.

Zhu Ying remained composed, even immersed in the process of playing chess with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Suddenly.

Zhu Ying shouted, "Checkmate!"

Zhu Ying had successfully defeated Zhu Yuanzhang, securing victory in this match.

"Xiongying's skill is still a step above mine. I am truly getting old; I can't beat you anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang was thoroughly defeated in spirit. At this time, Zhu Ying responded to the newly arrived Zhu Biao, "Father, actually, it isn't anything too pressing."

"It is regarding the matter of the New World Portal."

Seeing that both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had arrived, Zhu Ying took the initiative to reveal that he had opened the [Resident Evil World Portal].

To be honest.

Once Zhu Ying's words fell, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao appeared quite excited.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang.

He hurriedly pressed, "Xiongying, do you mean... you have obtained a new world coordinate?"

"Our Great Ming Empire can go to war against the outside world again?"

Zhu Ying nodded and continued to the group, "That's right, but this world is different from the previous ones."

"The small world coordinate obtained this time is a First-Order High-Grade world coordinate. This also means this world will be even more cruel than the previous [Prehistoric World], [Late Jin Five Barbarians], and [Late Ming World]!"

At this moment.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao fell into silence.

On the contrary, Zhu Wenxi, who was standing aside, was quite excited.

After all.

Before the opening of the previous three worlds, Zhu Wenxi was still quite young and had not experienced them at all. Now that he had grown into an adult, he naturally hoped to personally experience the new world.

"Father, what kind of world is it this time? I am truly looking forward to it!" Zhu Wenxi pressed Zhu Ying.

At this moment.

Zhu Ying's expression instantly turned serious, and he said, "The new world coordinate obtained this time is the coordinate for the [Resident Evil World]!"

"Resident Evil World?"

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated Zhu Ying's words, but a hint of tension also appeared between his brows.

"What kind of world is this Resident Evil World, exactly?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to press.

Zhu Yuanzhang had naturally not seen the Resident Evil movies, but even so, his sixth sense told him that this world was likely fraught with danger.

Zhu Biao, standing aside, also asked, "Yes, Xiongying, have you been to this Resident Evil World? Tell us quickly, what kind of world is it!"

Facing the questioning of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Ying said quite calmly, "I have not been to this [Resident Evil] world yet. However, based on my understanding of the literal meaning, this world might be a world of the living dead."

"Living dead? What are the living dead?" Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed hard and hurriedly asked.

To be honest, at this moment, panic was already visible in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Biao was the same.

In comparison, Zhu Ying was much more composed.

"Old Man, Father, these so-called living dead are people who have died and then been resurrected."

"In other words, they are living dead men!"

Once Zhu Ying finished explaining the living dead to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the expressions of the two men became even more grim.

"To think such people actually exist in this world?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhu Biao seemed unable to believe it.

In his view, this completely defied common sense; such a thing could absolutely not happen.

But Zhu Ying said with a firm tone, "Father, I know you find it hard to accept, but it is indeed the reality."

"Although such a thing could never happen in our world,...in other small worlds, this situation is even the norm."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, on the contrary, said quite excitedly, "Xiongying, if you put it that way, doesn't that mean our sister could also become a living dead? She could be resurrected too?"

Clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang had misunderstood Zhu Ying's explanation.

He wrongly believed that Empress Ma could also become a living dead.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying immediately explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old Man, you are overthinking things."

"Moreover, it is not the same thing at all."

"The so-called living dead are zombies, and they have no consciousness. They are quite terrifying!"

"Zombies?"

"What is a zombie?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed again!

"Old Man, you can understand these so-called zombies as an evolved version of a Jiangshi; they are more agile and have more tenacious vitality!"

"But, just like a Jiangshi, zombies have no living consciousness!"

When Zhu Ying finished speaking, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Ying keenly sensed this.

Zhu Ying explained further to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old Man, don't be disappointed. Perhaps, after we occupy this [Resident Evil World], we might master the technology of resurrection."

"Maybe we could even bring Empress Ma back to life!"

Zhu Ying continued to speak eloquently, "If I am not mistaken, this [Resident Evil World] must be a world with quite advanced technology."

"It might even lead our current Great Ming world by more than a dozen eras... This world must be one where electricity, oil, gas, and even more high-tech resources are fully utilized!"

"Perhaps, it is precisely because of the rapid advancement of technology that certain medical technologies also experienced an explosion and rapid progress."

"However, along with the rapid development of technology and medical science, virus technology also improved, eventually heading toward an extreme."

Zhu Ying used the most colloquial language possible to explain the so-called [Resident Evil] world to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

But truth be told.

Even so, it was difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to accept.

Instead, it was the long-silent Zhu Wenxi who gained a general understanding.

"Father, do you mean that in this so-called [Resident Evil] world, because of the explosion in technology and medicine, the situation actually became worse, and then people turned into the living dead?"

Zhu Wenxi had always been by Zhu Ying's side handling government affairs, so as the new generation of heir, his acceptance of new things was naturally faster.

Upon hearing Zhu Wenxi's explanation, Zhu Ying nodded, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

"A teachable child."

"Wenxi, you've got the gist of it; it is basically like that."

Hearing Zhu Ying's praise, a smile of excitement immediately appeared on Zhu Wenxi's face.

However.

In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked troubled.

Zhu Biao pressed Zhu Ying again, "Xiongying, based on the situation you described, this [Resident Evil World] must be extremely dangerous. With the strength of our Great Ming Empire, I fear we might not be able to complete the conquest."

Zhu Biao voiced his deepest concern.

However, Zhu Ying was much more indifferent, and his face was written with confidence.

"Father, while that may be true, this is also an opportunity for the Great Ming Empire."

"If I am not mistaken, due to the rapid technological explosion in this [Resident Evil] world, evil forces researched viruses, turning the people of this world into beings that only know bloodlust and eating flesh! They even degenerate into zombies, and once bitten by a zombie, one also becomes a zombie!"

"Currently, the entire [Resident Evil World] is in total chaos. For our Great Ming Empire, this is actually an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Resident Evil world!"

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Wenxi was visibly thrilled!

Zhu Wenxi was the first to speak, "Father, I want to go to this [Resident Evil World]!"

"I feel that this [Resident Evil World] must be quite interesting!"

Zhu Wenxi was already an adult; naturally, he also hoped to contribute his strength to the current Great Ming Empire.

Previously, when the Great Ming Empire was campaigning against the [Prehistoric World], [Late Jin Five Barbarians], and [Late Ming] worlds, Zhu Wenxi had not gone due to his young age.

This had become a regret in Zhu Wenxi's heart. Now, he naturally hoped to personally go to this [Resident Evil World]!

However.

Just as Zhu Wenxi had expressed his inner thoughts, he was directly rejected by Zhu Biao.

"No!"

"This [Resident Evil] world is fraught with danger. If you go, it will be extremely perilous!"

"Xiongying, what do you say?" Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Ying.

The latter said with a smile, "That's right, Wenxi, you are still too young. You should stay here in the Imperial Capital obediently."

"Of course, if you truly long to go, I will personally accompany you."

Originally, Zhu Wenxi had looked disappointed, but when he heard Zhu Ying's subsequent words, hope was rekindled!

Zhu Wenxi hurriedly said, "Your son thanks Father!"

At this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to Zhu Ying with a worried expression, "Xiongying, I am still somewhat concerned. Since this [Resident Evil] world is so powerful and its technology so advanced..."

"Can we truly achieve victory relying solely on the current strength of our Great Ming Empire?"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao echoed, "Yes, Xiongying. What if our soldiers also become zombies after entering the [Resident Evil] world? What would we do then?"

Facing the concerns of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Ying was quite composed.

Zhu Ying said with a smile, "Old Man, Father, please rest easy."

"Xiongying never fights a battle without preparation!"

"Since we have decided to conquer this [Resident Evil] world, we must naturally achieve victory!"

"I believe that as long as we prepare flawlessly in advance, there will certainly be no accidents!"

"Moreover, after ten years of development, the military strength of the Great Ming Empire has also improved significantly!"

It could be seen that compared to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Zhu Ying was actually quite confident.

But.

Zhu Ying's words still made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao feel panicked.

Especially Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Xiongying, don't forget that although the Great Ming Empire has developed for a full ten years, during these ten years, the Great Ming army has basically not fought any external wars!"

"No one knows what level the army's actual combat effectiveness is."

"If we rashly attack this [Resident Evil] world, I'm afraid it might not be good..."

In fact, Zhu Biao's reaction had been within Zhu Ying's expectations.

Thus, Zhu Ying patiently explained to Zhu Biao, "Father, man proposes, God disposes. This time, no matter what, we must attack this [Resident Evil] world!"

"In this world, there is highly advanced technology, which perhaps can be put to use for the Great Ming Empire!"
