Chapter 362: The Best Plan

Chen Zhengdao listened to Ye Xuan’s words and said, “In fact, in dealing with the Zombie Ancestor, there are three strategies: upper, middle, and lower. Because his abilities are very troublesome, sacrificing myself with him is not cost-effective and cannot threaten him. Therefore, I chose the lower strategy, using the threat of mutual destruction to make him restrain his subordinates, while also contributing to China’s resistance against the mutated beasts. I know this is inviting trouble, but due to the issue of strength, this is a compromise I have to make. Although I can kill him, I would also be severely weakened, and facing the pressure of the mutated beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Ye Xuan, upon hearing this, asked, “What are the middle and upper strategies then?”

Chen Zhengdao continued, “The middle strategy is to directly take action and kill the Zombie Ancestor. Even though the zombies may put up a fight, their efforts are limited. Moreover, they need blood to survive, and in the future, they will continue to coexist with humans. If the Zombie Ancestor is killed without losing China’s top combat power, this is the middle strategy.”

Ye Xuan, surprised, said, “Killing the Zombie Ancestor is only the middle strategy? Then what is the upper strategy? I choose the upper strategy!”

Chen Zhengdao smiled and said, “The Zombie Ancestor lurking in China is a malignant tumor and a future threat. There are countless terrifying mutated beasts hidden in the four oceans. If the Zombie Ancestor can be persuaded to confront the mutated beasts without harming the China citizens, it would be ideal.”

Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and asked, “Is that possible? Although I am confident in killing him, making him honestly confront the zombies without bloodsucking seems unlikely. If zombies don’t feed on blood, won’t they starve? How will they have the strength to fight the mutated beasts?”

Chen Zhengdao chuckled and replied, “Indeed, zombies cannot survive without blood, but there are seven billion people on Earth, with China only occupying fourteen billion. Let those zombies feed on the blood of evil people. The blood of those people would sustain them for a long time!.”

Ye Xuan, after hearing Chen Zhengdao’s words, found them reasonable. An islandwas on the verge of collapse, just like in his past life when it was destroyed by the World-Ending Dragon Whale. Now, the situation seemed similar. After the Dragon Whale destroyed the island, the next step would be to attack China, without a doubt. Although the Dragon Whale was repelled by China once, the conflict between humans and mutated beasts would continue. Allowing the Zombie Ancestor to occupy the island, converting millions of zombies, and keeping millions as a food source would indeed be beneficial for humanity as a whole.

At the same time, for the island, which was destined to be destroyed by the mutated beasts, becoming a zombie kingdom would at least allow them to survive, albeit with a low quality of life. It was better than complete annihilation. Now that a real biohazard crisis was happening with zombies settling in, they might actually welcome it.

Therefore, Ye Xuan praised, “Experience truly counts. This method is excellent. The island can be utilized to provide blood for the zombies. The Zombie Ancestor and his zombies can be used to confront the mutated beasts, becoming a defensive line to stop the mutated beasts from attacking China. It’s really good! But what if the Zombie Ancestor launches a counterattack against China in the future?”

Chen Zhengdao smiled and said, “Isn’t there still me? The zombie race is different from the mutated beasts. The quantity of mutated beasts is too vast, and I alone cannot easily eliminate them. However, the zombie race is different. If their Ancestor dies, whether there are tens of millions or billions of zombies below, they won’t survive without the Ancestor. My words match my actions and I can precisely solo kill the Zombie Ancestor. If he leads the zombie army to attack China, I have the courage to sacrifice myself with him. Therefore, even if he is unwilling, he has to honestly guard the island, Purin, and become an outer defense line for China!”

The Zombie Ancestor is powerful, difficult to kill, and can create numerous descendants who have enough blood to challenge the mutated beasts. He is not afraid of the mutated beasts but fears Chen Zhengdao. Conversely, Chen Zhengdao, although unable to kill many mutated beasts due to their vast numbers, can single-handedly kill Li Hailong, leading to the direct extinction of the zombie race. It’s like a game of rock-paper-scissors. With the Zombie Ancestor in China, Chen Zhengdao is wary, sacrificing himself with Li Hailong would be a loss, so he has no way to deal with him. If Ye Xuan is confident in defeating or even killing Li Hailong without sacrificing himself, then he has the qualification to drive Li Hailong to Purin island. By making the Zombie Ancestor follow China’s arrangements, leading the zombie army to fight the mutated beasts, the pressure on the eastern part of China would be significantly reduced.

Ye Xuan then said directly, “Alright, let’s go with what you said, Senior. I will set up the Immortal Slaying Formation and press down on Warm Spring Town with my sword!”

Chen Zhengdao, upon hearing this, reminded once again, “I know you young people like to be high-profile, but for this matter, you must be absolutely sure before live streaming it.”

Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why is that?”

This time, Ye Xuan directly pressed down on Warm Spring Town with his sword, displaying his might to the people of China, boosting his reputation. He intended to live stream the event. Chen Zhengdao explained, “Zombies are different from mutated beasts. They can infiltrate among humans and turn them into zombies. If you live stream this action but fail to completely defeat the Zombie Ancestor and drive them out, it might cause panic within China. Therefore, you must be absolutely sure before live streaming.”

Chen Zhengdao’s reasoning was sound, and Ye Xuan said, “Alright, I won’t live stream it. I will record the process, and if successful, I will release the video. If it fails, I will treat it as if it never happened.”

Chen Zhengdao chuckled, “That works too, but the effect might not be as impactful as live streaming. How about this, if you succeed, I will help you apply to major television stations afterward to broadcast the video of your heroic act in Warm Spring Town, showcasing China’s might!”

Previously, Ye Xuan’s live streams or post-event videos were spread on the internet. Although there were many online users, traditional television stations also had a large audience of middle-aged and elderly viewers. Therefore, if Chen Zhengdao helped Ye Xuan get on major television stations, it would provide him with a broader platform to gain reputation.

Ye Xuan agreed, “Alright, I’ll trouble you with that, Senior.”
