Chapter 601: Chapter 299 Do you realize you’re seeking your own death?_1

Some zombies appeared inside Hancheng City, and as they attacked humans, the number of zombies immediately began to skyrocket exponentially.

Jie Susi didn’t intercept these zombies or make any effort to save the city, but instead abandoned it and decided to go to the capital, to kill the king and usurp the throne.

"Captain, it must be the work of the God Hunters!"

The muscular man spoke with indignation, "If I ever get my hands on them, I’ll definitely whittle them down to human sticks!"

"Not necessarily!"

Jie Susi’s expression was grim. After the train arrived, within half a day, he had saved Li Mingzhe, who was being pursued by a squad of royal guards, and then he began to help him seize the throne.

He felt this was a condition for clearing the game, and also thought himself very fortunate to have stumbled upon a prince at the start, but now, as more zombies continued appearing, he knew he had missed out on a lot of ’plot’.

"I should at least figure out where these zombies are coming from!"

Jie Susi sighed, feeling that his team must be falling behind some other group, but that didn’t matter; as an experienced Quasi-dragon Level, he had his own way of solving the problem, which was to kill all the important figures in the rules of contamination.

That included even Prince Li Mingzhe.

After assembling, the Liberty Goddess Group, together with the carefully selected three hundred elite troops, and Li Mingzhe, hurried towards Hancheng at top speed.

Behind them lay Hancheng City, which had fallen to the zombies, the pitiful cries and howls echoing through the sky.

Li Mingzhe looked back for a moment, unconcerned with all that, his eyes filled with nothing but a yearning for the throne!

...

Lin Baici didn’t stay in the mountains for long. Early the next day, having gathered some Weed of Life and Death, he returned to the village of the Boar Guard, and, out of caution, had the village searched again. After finding nothing, he hurried back to the ship and then sailed at full speed for the capital.

The official ship crushed the floating ice as it moved downstream.

The most comfortable cabin on the ship was that of Zhao Decheng’s, which Lin Baici requisitioned, but he didn’t sleep there. Instead, he gave it to Dae Jang Geum.

Dae Jang Geum, grateful for the favor, did not dare slack off and was busy testing the Weed of Life and Death. She did not sleep at all during the three-day journey.

Finally, on a morning with dense clouds, the official ship arrived at Incheon.

"Where can we get warhorses?"

Lin Baici, looking at the bustling docks, let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, this place had not yet been overrun by zombies, otherwise they would have had to fight their way through.

"You can find those rich horse traders who come from the northeast of the Nine States, or you can ask the officials!"

Zhao Decheng wanted to say that aggravating the officials would cause a lot of trouble, but, thinking of his own status as Shangqing Mansion’s official, in charge of hundreds of thousands of common folk and being at the beck and call of others, he wisely shut his mouth. Lin Baici didn’t care about such matters.

He even found it amusing to hope that the official of Incheon would have his own share of misfortune.

"Leave it to you!"

Lin Baici commanded.

"Ah?"

Zhao Decheng was startled.

"The matter of finding the horses, I leave to you. If it isn’t sorted by noon, I’ll have Dae Jang Geum turn you into a zombie!"

Lin Baici threatened.

He wasn’t foolish. Zhao Decheng was, after all, a relative of the queen’s mother and related to the immensely powerful Quan Sangin; his influence was certainly vast.

Zhao Decheng shivered and his face fell, "Your Excellency, if I do this, what will become of me afterward?"

"If you don’t do it, there won’t be an afterward!"

Lin Baici patted Zhao Decheng’s shoulder, "Oh right, get a carriage as well!"

The carriage was meant for Dae Jang Geum.

This official, fearful of death and lacking vision, was never fit to govern. Under his rule, the lives of the common people would never improve, but when it came to extortion and scraping off the top, he was top-notch.

Zhao Decheng left and, in just two hours—well before the time agreed upon with Lin Baici—returned with more than fifty warhorses.

"Nicely done!"

Lin Baici praised him and signaled for everyone to mount up.

Zhao Decheng, knowing he couldn’t avoid his involvement, sighed, mounted a horse, and then stared straight at the bearded man.

The bearded man actually wanted to escape, but there was never a chance, as the Mountain People were watching.

"Mount up!"

Zhao Decheng urged.

"Sir, in light of my many years of loyal service, please let me return home?"

The bearded man pleaded, sensing that going to the capital was a perilous affair.

"The king is likely to die soon, this is the time for us to dedicate our lives to the country and prove our loyalty!"

Zhao Decheng spoke with righteous grandeur, but what he actually wanted was a bodyguard.

"Mount up!"

Lin Baici ordered sharply. He felt that the bearded man, placed in the Game of Gods, would probably be a minor NPC; whether useful or not, he should be brought along for now.

The group set off.

In the team of more than fifty people, aside from the group of six led by Lin Baici, Quan Sangin and his four teammates, Lee Taehyun, Dae Jang Geum, Zhao Decheng, and the bearded man, the rest were the elite chosen from the Mountain People by Xia Hongyao.

This was a mission to kill the king; many Mountain People were afraid, but Lin Baici had persuaded them with money and greater causes.

"The king has become a zombie; if we don’t kill him and establish a new sovereign, this country is finished!"

Gu Qingqiu brainwashed the Mountain People, "Once we take the palace, the treasures in the royal treasury are yours to choose from!"

Lin Baici told everyone to spare no horsepower and they rushed at full speed, finally reaching Hancheng before darkness fell at four in the afternoon.

News of the fall of Shangqing Mansion and Hancheng City had probably traveled back, hence the heavy atmosphere, with few people entering or leaving the city gates and many soldiers on duty.

"They’re checking so thoroughly!"

Looking at the long line of over three hundred meters in front of the city gate, Hua Yue Yu felt overwhelmed. The soldiers were conducting body searches with rough movements and took the opportunity to take advantage.

"Mr. Zhao, this hard task is yours!"
