Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 269 The Unexpected Visitor

On December 8th, Li Chenglong and Yunlan arrived early in the morning to inspect the city walls of Dawn City. After Dawn City was upgraded to level 3, the city walls became very magnificent and imposing, currently standing 12 meters high and 1.6 meters thick. Every 300 meters, there was a beacon tower-like structure that could house a squad of soldiers, along with corresponding supporting facilities.

Dawn City is a square city with sides of 30km. Today, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan are patrolling the western city wall. Currently, the city defense department is responsible for guarding the city wall, and its head is Su Haisheng, who came from the First People's Hospital of Jinghai City with Li Chenglong. Su Haisheng is also a level 9 wind-type ability user, possessing considerable strength. It's worth mentioning that Su Haisheng has two older brothers and a younger sister, all of whom are ability users. His two brothers serve as commanders in the Dawn Army, and his sister is Su Yunjin from the Central Computer Office.

To ensure the Dawn Army soldiers could fight with peace of mind and eliminate their worries, Li Chenglong, during the fourth plenary session of the Dawn City People's Congress a few days ago, approved the expansion plan for the City Defense Department. The City Defense Department will be a division-level unit, comprising four regiments of 1600 men each, stationed on the city walls in the east, south, west, and north directions, rotating monthly. The City Defense Department will have one minister and three deputy ministers.

Su Haisheng originally said he would personally accompany Li Chenglong and Yun Lan on the visit, but considering that he was also very busy, Li Chenglong told him to focus on his work, while he and his wife would tour the site accompanied by a section chief.

The two toured the interior of each beacon tower, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the well-being of the soldiers stationed there and guaranteeing adequate subsidies. As a top priority, they also meticulously inspected the soldiers' weapons, checking almost every single one. Li Chenglong said, "A soldier without weapons cannot be considered a qualified soldier. Don't become complacent just because Dawn City has been peaceful. Weapon maintenance must be up to standard so they can be effective in critical moments."

Yunlan nodded: "Not only must the maintenance of weapons be up to standard, but the soldiers' training must also keep up. There should be a small training session every day and a large training session every three days. The soldiers need to understand that training is not for us, but for themselves. Three minutes on stage requires ten years of practice off stage. Regular training is for better combat later, and also for their own safety. The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in wartime."

The accompanying officers and soldiers nodded, all expressing their determination to strengthen their training and requirements, and continuously enhance their capabilities. Li Chenglong and Yun Lan walked for a long time before letting their entourage attend to their own tasks. The two strolled casually along the city wall, occasionally admiring the beautiful scenery outside.

Yunlan felt that it would be nice to take walks along the towering city wall with Li Chenglong every day. As they walked, he took Li Chenglong's arm and told him about some interesting things that had happened recently.

As the two walked, they sensed a powerful energy emanating from afar, clearly zombie energy. Li Chenglong frowned: "To be able to get so close to Dawn City, this zombie must be very strong." Before Yun Lan could speak, the computer office and information support department sent messages indicating that a high-level zombie had appeared about 2 kilometers from the west gate of Dawn City, likely at least level 9.

Li Chenglong told them not to panic, as he and Yunlan were nearby and they could go check it out. The two jumped off the city wall and reached the location where the zombies had appeared in less than a minute. Yunlan saw a girl lying unconscious by the roadside. The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and was very cute, but she exuded the aura of a zombie, and she was already level 10.

Yunlan closed the Phoenix Eye: "Husband, she seems to be injured, and seriously injured." Li Chenglong took Yunlan's hand, and in an instant, they arrived at the spot where the zombie had collapsed. "It's her?!" Li Chenglong exclaimed.

The person standing before Li Chenglong was none other than Han Feng, whom he had encountered before and who was also the disciple of Protector Xun, with whom he had fought a great battle. Li Chenglong had previously told Yun Lan about Protector Xun and Han Feng, so Yun Lan knew about it. Yun Lan helped Han Feng up and examined her, saying, "She's a level 10 zombie, how could she be so badly injured? Besides, she is a zombie after all, should we deal with her or something?"

Li Chenglong frowned: "This is indeed a difficult situation." Just as the two were discussing, several streams of energy suddenly appeared from a distance and were rapidly approaching them. Li Chenglong said to Yunlan: "Take her back to Dawn City first, but it must be kept secret. Place her on the 15th floor of the Dawn Building and keep a close watch on her. We'll talk again when I get back."

Knowing Li Chenglong's strength after reaching level 11, Yunlan didn't say anything and left with Han Feng in her arms. Li Chenglong then contacted the Central Computer Office and the Information Support Department through his crystal phone, explaining Han Feng's situation and instructing them to keep it a secret internally. They were told to keep it to themselves, as their devices could easily detect any zombies or other anomalies in Dawn City.

In less than a minute, four level 10 zombies appeared in front of Li Chenglong. One of them was clearly a zombie with sensory abilities; he looked around and then quietly spoke to the leader. The leader stepped forward and said, "Human powerhouse, we have no intention of being your enemy, but the person you took away must be handed over to us."

As Li Chenglong mentioned before, zombies consider themselves to be the new humans and refer to humans as the old humans who are destined to be eliminated. Therefore, they usually refer to themselves as humans.

Li Chenglong laughed and said, "Since you have no intention of being my enemy, then leave quickly. I know that girl, so I'll protect her life." The leader of the zombies narrowed his eyes: "You won't listen to reason, so we'll kill you first, then break in and find that traitor. At that time, we can find some old humans to suck blood and eat." As he spoke, four level 10 zombies rushed over.

A cold glint flashed in Li Chenglong's eyes, and he instantly unleashed his full power. The Dragon Emperor Sword appeared in his hand in a flash, and he immediately engaged the four zombies in battle. After reaching level 11, Li Chenglong could easily kill ordinary level 11 zombies, let alone these four level 10 zombies. In less than two minutes, with only 20% of his strength, Li Chenglong had already obtained four level 9 pink crystals.

At this moment, the city defense soldiers saw a battle taking place in the distance and had already dispatched a team to come over. To be on the safe side, Li Chenglong stored the zombie corpses in his psionic space and buried them in the soil of the natural area, then went back with the soldiers.
