It took nearly a whole day and night to clean up the battlefield and burn all the undead.

The reason for taking so long was because they were busy extracting crystal cores. No one would complain of having too many crystal cores.

Especially since they have become the main currency to trade for supplies in many bases.

Chu Miao, however, didn’t linger for so long. She and Ye Xuan left some members of the sect to handle the aftermath and after saying goodbye to Qin Jiuzen and the other leaders, they left.

This was the first large-scale battle they had fought in City A. The last one in City C was also large, but compared to this one, it could be said to be child’s play.

However, Chu Miao still felt that the cunning zombie king wouldn’t let itself suffer so many losses for nothing.

It felt as if there was a larger conspiracy at play. She didn’t want to overthink but this didn’t feel like the zombies had gone all out.

Yet, to others, they may feel as if this battle was too tough.

Once they were back home, Chu Miao immediately called an emergency meeting.

Not only did she invite her family, but also the Li family, Commander Shen, and a few people who had been carefully appointed as leaders of the sect.

She also wanted other leaders from other bases to attend, but thinking about her guess, she realized that many might not believe her. Especially since some still thought of her as a young teenage girl who knew little of the world.

So, she first decided to invite those who unconditionally trusted her judgement.

"You all witnessed yesterday’s battle. What do you think?" She asked after everyone was seated.

"It was the toughest we have fought. Even our sect lost ten people. Even though compared to other bases, this could be called barely a loss, to us, it is a huge loss." Commander Shen was the first to voice his opinion.

He had already integrated into the higher-ups of the sect and also had decision-making power.

"Indeed, compared to other battles we have fought with zombies, this is the largest and it also showed us how fast zombies are evolving. To think that there are already level eight zombies, yet most humans are stuck at level four. If the zombies launch an all out attack on human bases, humanity will face extinction without a doubt." Grandpa Chu added with a sad sigh.

"I think that is not what Miaoer wants to ask, us it, dear?" Ye Xuan suddenly spoke with a tender smile on his face as he looked at his newly minted fiance.

"Oh! Then what does Bunny want to say?" Chu Mo asked in surprise.

The others were also confused.

What else could it be that was related to the battle this time?

"Don’t you think that we won this battle a little too easy?" Chu Miao asked with an unwavering gaze.

"Won too easy?" One of the elders who had joined the sect not too long ago but was chosen in a leadership position due to his clos connection with Grandpa Chu asked incredulously.

The others also felt as if Chu Miao was joking.

Was the battle that easy? How could she say such a thing?

So many people had died. Was that a joke?

However, the Chu family and the Li family trusted Chu Miao blindly and knew that she wouldn’t say something like this if she hadn’t noticed something amiss.

"Little Bunny, what did you notice?" Grandpa Chu asked. Silencing those who were murmuring about Chu Miao being too young to understand a battle.

While most of them thought that she was young and knew nothing about fighting battles, her family and fiancee were well aware of her past achievements. Both in the ancient world and the Immortal Realm.

"It is true that this battle appeared to be fierce and large. However, if the zombies truly wanted to go all out, those eight-stage and seven-stage zombies would have joined the battle from the beginning. What was the use of sneaking to the back? Was it really to infiltrate the city while everyone was in battle?" Chu Miao explained a little bit of what she thought.

"Isn’t it? Didn’t the zombies just want to infiltrate the city and hide within so they could attack us while we are not on guard?" One leader asked in confusion.

"You are thinking too simply. And if I am not wrong, that zombie king was probably counting on this kind of thought process." Chu Miao replied cooly.

"What exactly is going on?" Commander Shen couldn’t take the suspense anymore and asked directly.

"If I am not wrong, the zombie king is several times stronger than those level eight zombies we killed. What is more, it should have more stronger zombies whom it hadn’t exposed yet. To us, this battle was one the zombies launched an attack to take over the city. However, to the zombie king, it was probably just to prove our true strength and also make us complacent." Chu Miao began to explain.

"Test out strength? So many zombies attacked us. Millions of zombies. Would the Zombie king use so many zombies just to prove us and make us let our guard down?" Another leader asked and others nodded in agreement.

To this, even Ye Xuan laughed in scorn.

These people were too naive. He couldn’t let his fiancee face everything, so, he spoke this time, since he had already understood what she meant.

"In the onset of the apocalypse, nearly ninety percent of the human population turned into zombies. And with so many disasters following and zombies frequently attacking, more have joined the legion of the undead. How many undead do you think the zombie king has over its command? What was losing a few million minions if it could allow it to get better results? Even if I get a hundred million zombies perished, it wouldn’t be a loss. The army of zombies had billions." Ye Xuan explained.
