Li Xuanzu glanced at the general distribution of the third-tier zombies, which were mostly located in the two major northwestern regions.

Among them, the western Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Region, Tibet Region and the northern Mongolia Region are particularly infested with third-tier zombies, accounting for 70% of the total number of third-tier zombies in the Dragon Kingdom.

The number of zombies surrounding these Tier 3 zombies in these remote areas has already begun to be counted in the millions.

Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, although the Dragon Kingdom managed to stabilize its position in Kyoto and Shanghai, its influence couldn't extend that far.

In addition, although agriculture is developed in these areas, there is no human labor and very few shops, making it more difficult for humans to survive there compared to other places.

In addition, the livestock industry is also well-developed, and the breeding methods and venues are open. When animals are infected and turn into zombies, they pose a significant threat to the local population.

Even with a smaller population, there are still tens of millions, roughly fifty million.

It would be a miracle if there were still 100,000 humans left, although most of them stayed in these places for the sake of spirit cores.

Moreover, with so many Tier 3 zombies, Li Xuanzu believed that the number of surviving humans would be reduced again.

If the remaining people are mostly psionicists, then after this wave, the remaining ones will most likely be second-tier psionicists, and those with strong combat awareness.

Don't forget, the zombies are more aggressive after the game difficulty is increased.

As for why China has not yet used nuclear weapons to strike, Li Xuanzu still believes that China does so in order to protect its reputation.

Using nuclear weapons in a post-apocalyptic world is like opening Pandora's box; even if you stop using them and close the box, it will still have indelible negative consequences.

This is why, although there are nine countries in the world that possess nuclear weapons, only a handful dare to use them against zombies.

If it weren't for the imminent threat of national extinction, who would trade future development for temporary peace?

Thinking of this, Li Xuanzu couldn't help but think of Huang Lao again.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the country.

Judging by the time, Leng An and the others will be returning to the Dragon Kingdom soon.

"Next stop, Qing Province. Let's take care of those three Tier 3 zombies first." Li Xuanzu pointed to the map of China on his phone and zoomed in on the Qing Province area.

"Let's discuss how the spirit cores will be distributed beforehand, to avoid any disputes later," Li Xuanzu said, these words intended for Liang Lezhan.

It's better to offer him some benefits at the right time and in a suitable manner. Instead of constantly pressuring him, it's better to give him some sweet treats, as you can gain more from that.

“We have four Tier 3 psychics and one weirdo on our side. We want to take 80% of all the spirit cores that are produced.” Li Xuanzu made an eight gesture.

"Aren't you asking for too much? I want to send zombies to scout, and I want to participate in the battle, and in the end I only get 20%? That's impossible." Liang Lezhan was very agitated.

He dared to challenge Li Xuanzu on matters of interest, or perhaps he felt that he was of great importance in Li Xuanzu's eyes.

"As I said, I will compensate you with the corresponding spirit core when your zombie dies. This compensation will be given to you after it has been distributed."

"Of course, your portion of the spirit cores will not be included in the final settlement of spirit cores. In other words, if your zombie dies, the spirit cores belong to whoever finds them. The final distribution of spirit cores will only be settled based on what is left on the battlefield."

"In other words, you can steadily improve the quality of your zombies while ensuring your own safety. Even so, you can still get 20%. If you don't have the ability to store items, I'll give you a maximum of 10%."

In the past, Qinghai Province was manageable, but in the subsequent Xinjiang, Tibetan, and Mongolian regions, the altitude was high, the population was sparse, and resources were scarce. Fuel supplies had to be found after arriving in Qinghai Province.

But storage is another problem. The mountain roads are steep, and the vehicles cannot travel smoothly. If fuel leaks, all the supplies in the truck will be lost.

Therefore, Liang Lezhan needs storage space capacity, and it must be safe and portable.

Li Xuanzu's words make sense. Liang Lezhan is just stationed in the rear, directing the zombie battle. There is basically no danger for him. In addition, Li Xuanzu will compensate with spirit cores, so 20% is really more than enough.

But Li Xuanzu wasn't stupid. If too many of Liang Lezhan's zombies died, he would definitely suffer a loss.

He will then have Qian Li and the others take special care of Liang Lezhan's zombies, picking them up as soon as they die.

"Say yes? Are you out of your mind? Do you really think you can take over Qing Province all by yourself?"

The system's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

It's because they're really disappointed in their son.

Liang Lezhan seems to have some brains, but it's all just cleverness; he can't handle big situations at all.

Although his actual combat strength is seven third-tier combatants, he himself is not strong, so it's more like six and a half.

Secondly, his mark has many conditions. The most basic one is that it can only control ordinary zombies, which is why it is called a "zombie breeding system" rather than a "zombie control system".

Moreover, the number of zombies he can bring is limited. If the conversion is based on the number of second-tier and third-tier zombies, it would take at least a thousand second-tier zombies to cultivate one third-tier zombie.

This number is not accurate; it usually exceeds two thousand.

Even if Liang Lezhan exchanged all the second-tier zombies for third-tier ones, it wouldn't be enough.

The third-tier zombie horde in Qing Province has over a million subordinates, and there are quite a few first- and second-tier zombies as well. If pushed too far, it will only result in mutual destruction.

Furthermore, the intelligence of a third-tier zombie is not much lower than that of an ordinary person, so there's no use for Liang Lezhan's little bit of cleverness.

He's not quick-witted enough, and his brain isn't very sharp; he's not necessarily as smart as a zombie.

Besides, judging from the appearance of the zombies around him, the system could guess that he would be delayed because of his lower body.
