Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive

Chapter 579: Zombie King’s Purpose

In the meeting room, Chu Miao didn’t beat about the bush.

"We encountered something unbelievable in Russia. The zombies have advanced too much and a zombie king has appeared." She immediately informed everyone.

"What?"

Several people asked in unison.

" It’s true. That thing is no different from humans. Apart from the eyes, there is basically no other difference. It dresses like a human, talks like a human, and can organize armies. It truly is scary just thinking about it." Lei Ying immediately explained what had happened in Russia briefly.

"So, you are saying that the zombie king is from our country and has already been observing us for a while. Also, it set up a trap in Russia probably because it already knows about our plan to save people from different regions of the world?" Commander Shen asked in astonishment.

"Yes. That’s what we figured out. Moreover, when we met it, I was finally able to put a face to the spooky feeling I have felt of being watched for almost a year now." Chu Miao added.

"Wait, you are saying that you started directing it’s presence as long as a year ago?" Grandpa Chu was shocked to hear this confession.

To think that his good granddaughter had been stalked by a creepy zombie for so long.

What if she had been caught off guard and killed?

"Yes. Remember the first time we went to the Third district where we found those mutated maggots, I started feeling it’s presence then. When we went to rescue Qi Long and his team, it was also watching from a distance. However, at that time, I was still at the foundation establishment realm and wasn’t strong enough. And from what I saw this time, it hadn’t been strong enough either. That’s why it never showed itself." Chu Miao explained in more details about the first time she encountered the zombie king even though it was from a long distance.

"What’s the strength of that zombie king now?" Chu Mo asked curiously.

Everyone else looked at Chu Miao waiting for the answer to that.

Indeed, if the zombie king had been going to such great lengths to hide before, why did it show up this time for no reason?

Moreover, it even used an army of over five million zombies as bait.

Even the most unintelligent person could guess that there is some other reason behind it.

"I guess from the pressure it used when it appeared, it should be on par with a nascent soul stage cultivator. I was shocked when I probed it but I didn’t probe too much because I didn’t want to alert it." Chu Miao said lightly.

However, her statement made everyone in that meeting room feel cold sweat forming on their spines.

A nascent soul stage zombie. And they didn’t know how many there were like that one.

What if there are more? Then what would they do?

"It’s so strong." Yang Leo commented in surprise.

He wasn’t a cultivator, but he had been among cultivators over the last year and was well aware of what the strength of a nascent soul meant.

That zombie sure is strong.

"But now the biggest question is, why did it expose itself?" Grandpa Chu brought everyone to the most important point.

Yes, why after hiding for so long, did that zombie king expose itself.

Exposing itself meant it could easily be tracked down now.

Or was that it’s plan from the beginning?

Just as this thought crossed Chu Miao’s mind, Grandpa Li asked it out loud.

"Is it possible that the zombie king wanted you to catch its aura so that you could go looking for it?"

The room fell silent for a moment before grandpa Chu spoke again.

"I doubt it. If it was just for us to look for it, it wouldn’t need to set up such a scheme in Russia."

"Then what is the ultimate goal?" Gu Fan also asked.

"Maybe the goal has nothing to do with it being hunted down but it’s strength." Ye Xuan, who had been quietly sitting beside Chu Miao, spoke.

"What do you mean?" Chu Miao turned to her boyfriend and asked.

"I mean, maybe the zombie king’s aim was just for us to witness its strength. Nothing more than that."

This didn’t make sense even to Chu Miao who had led wars and battles before.

Why would an enemy expose themselves just to let their opponents see their strength?

This didn’t make sense at all.

"I don’t understand. Xiao Xuan, please explain." Grandpa Chu asked, looking at his future grandson-in-law eagerly.

"Grandpa, I think that the zombie king isn’t dumb, so it wouldn’t just show itself for no reason. But what if it wanted us to witness its strength and plan our battles according to that information?" Ye Xuan asked tentatively.

The people in the room looked at each other. Some refusing to accept the hidden meaning in Ye Xuan’s words.

However, Chu Miao understood immediately.

"You mean that the zombie king showed itself to us because it wasn’t us to believe that its strength is limited to what we saw, but maybe it’s about to advance. Once it advances, it would be even stronger, but if we plan a battle thinking that it had the strength we saw, then we would be at the losing end before the battle even begins." Chu Miao asked in shock.

She hadn’t expected a zombie to be so cunning.

"Yes. That’s what I think. It wouldn’t show itself for no reason, unless its goal was to mislead us from the start. Everything else, even the five million zombie army we took out was just a diversion." Ye Xuan explained everything in more details.

"How despicable. How could a zombie be so calculative?" Chu Hao asked with his mouth wide open it could fit a duck egg.

"Whether this is the real reason or just one of them, we have to train harder and improve our cultivation. We can’t afford to face zombies in the nascent soul stage in our current state." Grandpa Chu said solemnly.
