Stand firm and be fully infected

 "Qingzhou has been immediately locked down following the zombie outbreak, with police stations on the forefront. Please, neighboring residents, do not panic. You are all safe."

"Faced with the sudden zombie outbreak in Qingzhou, the high-level officials of the Wu Kingdom have come up with corresponding measures to protect the safety of the people. Please, citizens nationwide, do not panic. Trust the police stations and trust the Wu Kingdom!"

"Although cities like Quanzhou, Tongzhou, and Wuzhou, which border Qingzhou, have not encountered a zombie crisis, the residents have fallen into panic and have chosen to flee. We hope that the Wu Kingdom will resolve the Qingzhou crisis as soon as possible and restore peace in the country!"

"Qingzhou has been abandoned by the Wu Kingdom. Tens of thousands of evacuees were killed by the police stations at the Qingzhou exit. In front of the zombies, the police stations are the real demons!"

"All the exit roads in Qingzhou have been destroyed. There is no rescue, no united resistance. We have been abandoned by the country. Who can save us?"

"The Qingzhou police stations encountered heavy resistance from zombies during their rescue operations, suffering significant losses. They have now retreated back to the police stations, and the zombie crisis is unstoppable."

"The Qingzhou police stations have issued a notice, requesting all survivors in Qingzhou to gather at the police stations, join forces to resist the zombies, and overcome this crisis together."

...

Lin Chuan saw numerous reports on his phone through various channels such as news and forums.

On short video apps, almost all the videos were related to the zombie outbreak in Qingzhou.

For example, at the Qingzhou exit, armed tanks, fighter jets, and dark gun barrels mercilessly killed the fleeing refugees.

The roads were broken, corpses littered the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and burning cars colliding and exploding blocked the broken roads, leaving a scene of devastation.

If Lin Chuan's zombie crisis had turned Qingzhou into hell,

Then the Qingzhou exit was purgatory.

Taking just one step outside would mean being shot to pieces, with no chance of survival.

For example, the Qingzhou police stations faced counterattacks from the zombies, with multiple teams sacrificing themselves and becoming zombies, putting immense pressure on the police stations.

The police stations had to reluctantly evacuate the buildings, protecting the rescued survivors and returning to the police stations.

Gone were the sharp edges of killing everything in sight and the thunderous strikes upon their emergence. There was now a hint of embarrassment and落魄 (desperation, distress).

For instance, scenes of trucks carrying construction materials to Qingzhou...

...

Regarding the zombie crisis in Qingzhou, the upper echelons of the Wu Kingdom have given only vague explanations and reassurances.

There was no mention of how to resolve the Qingzhou crisis, what corresponding measures would be taken, or whether they would support rescuing survivors.

Whether the blockade of Qingzhou's exits was for better support or to control the disaster in Qingzhou through a blockade mode was also not clearly answered.

Even when faced with questions about why Qingzhou evacuees were killed, no explanation was given.

Lin Chuan didn't care about the Wu Kingdom's attitude.

On the contrary, from numerous articles, short videos, and reports, he pieced together information that was favorable to him through the slightest clues.

First, although the upper echelons of the Wu Kingdom had not made a clear statement, they had not provided support for such a long time, instead blocking Qingzhou's exits and transporting building materials.

It could be clearly affirmed that a comprehensive and thorough blockade of Qingzhou was the so-called corresponding measure of the upper echelons of the Wu Kingdom.

Second, the police stations had retreated, leading a group of survivors to retreat to the police stations, calling on all survivors in Qingzhou to gather spontaneously at the police stations and overcome the crisis together.

It seemed that the Qingzhou police stations did not have the ability to resolve the zombie crisis.

Third, with Qingzhou's exits blocked and a large amount of construction materials on the way, they must dare to fight their way out of Qingzhou before the blockade project is completed.

"Huff!"

"The first step towards the apocalypse has been taken, and I have also taken my initial foothold in Qingzhou."

 After sorting out several pieces of information, Lin Chuan's face was filled with a satisfied smile, and he exhaled a long breath of stale air.

He was deeply grateful for the decision of the upper echelons not to support and blockade Qingzhou.

The Qingzhou police's large force acted slowly, which led to a dramatic increase in the number of zombies, reaching a point where they could no longer be controlled in a short time.

However, one had to admit that their thunderous methods were effective.

Not only did they kill numerous zombies and save hundreds of survivors, but they also restored peace to the streets.

If there had been strong support in the process of rescue and suppression,

not only could the Qingzhou crisis have been resolved overnight, but they would have been able to save more people and prevent the crisis from spreading faster.

However, facing the unknown zombies, they chose self-preservation and sacrificed the small for the greater good.

Perhaps this was the fear of the unknown.

Instead of aiming their guns and cannons at the zombies within Qingzhou, they aimed them at all the fleeing survivors.

They blocked all the passageways that could escape from Qingzhou, sealing them off tightly.

None of the people in Qingzhou were able to escape.

This also meant that everyone would become a stepping stone for Lin Chuan to consolidate his power and gradually establish a firm footing.

How could Lin Chuan not be grateful for their decision?

If Lin Chuan were originally human and the disaster started because of him, wouldn't he feel guilty?

The answer was clear.

He wouldn't!

Why should he?

He was now a zombie queen, and everything he did was in accordance with the survival laws of his species.

Besides, Lin Chuan was only the initiator of the disaster.

In the first instance of the disaster, the Wu Kingdom had the ability to stop and suppress it.

But they didn't.

They allowed Qingzhou to fall into a semi-paralyzed state.

They gave the zombies an opportunity to multiply to tens of thousands and continue to grow.

"Next, let the entire Qingzhou be completely overrun!"

The first step of starting the apocalypse was successful, but Lin Chuan did not take it lightly.

Instead, he had to race against time.

He knew very well that although the police were forced to choose to defend one place,

the military power they held in their hands was still a huge threat.

He could not guarantee that if the Wu Kingdom saw the zombie horde in Qingzhou growing stronger during the blockade, they would choose to provide support.

Once reinforcements arrived, with support from within and outside, his situation would be very dangerous.

No matter when, Lin Chuan needed to have the initiative.

He would lead the Wu Kingdom by the nose, rather than wait for the Wu Kingdom to make a decision and then be led by the nose.

Only then would he have a chance to unleash the apocalypse.

After understanding everything, Lin Chuan immediately issued new orders to all the zombies.

He no longer restrained their actions, allowing them to unleash their instincts and destroy, devour, and kill as much as they wanted.

In the shortest time possible, they would complete their evolution and infect more people.

He wanted to turn all the survivors in the city into zombies or become food for the zombies on their evolutionary path.

Using their absolute numerical advantage and strength, they would overwhelm the police.

Then, they would break out of the prison of Qingzhou and face the whole world!

The sky gradually turned light, and the first rays of morning sun broke through the darkness and illuminated the land.

A red sun slowly rose, dispelling the endless darkness of the night, ushering in the day, spreading warmth across the land, and nourishing all things.

The first ray of dawn of the morning shone through the window, entering the house, and dispelling all filth.

Lin Chuan got up, feeling the warmth of the sun, and resolutely stepped out of the room.

He mingled with the zombie horde led by Xiao Wenjing, walked out of the residential building, and joined the army of zombies that were destroying and killing.

Wherever they passed, no one survived.
