Yue Zhong's Eyes of Perception ability allowed him to examine the ratmen from afar. "Level 26 mutant beast: Elite Rat King's Bodyguards. Rat King's chosen bodyguards, are willing to die in battle in defense of Rat King."

"Level 43 mutant beast: Mutant Rat King. Has the ability to control mutant rat swarms and elite rat king's bodyguards."

"That must be the leader!" Zhong Yue looked at the 7 massive rats with a gleam of light in his eyes. On this expedition, he was most afraid that he could not find the leader of the rat tide within the time limit of 10 mins. If he could not find the leader, he would have no choice but to abort this mission. After all, his team and both the teams from LongHai survival camp did not bring enough ammunition to destroy the sea of rats.

The mutant Rat King also saw that Yue Zhong was making a beeline towards it. It's tiny eyes flashed a hint of disdain, and it uttered a sharp whistling sound.

At that instant, from the granary, another massive swarm of mutant rats poured out in droves. In addition to the mutant rats tide, another 30 elite rat king's bodyguards also climbed up to the granary.

In addition to the forces above, 20 additional elite rat king's bodyguards rushed towards the direction of Yue Zhong.

These elite rat king's bodyguards were incredibly fast. At full gallop, they crossed the distance of over 100 m in the span of a few seconds, and shot towards Yue Zhong like an arrow. Their speed was only slightly inferior to the fastest creature that Yue Zhong has ever faced – a level 20 hunter.

At this time, Yue Zhong was still 200m away from the granary.

Yue Zhong moved his left hand, and a type 79 assault rifle [1] flew out. He pulled the trigger and the gun spewed out a stream of bullets that streaked towards the elite rat king's bodyguards. [3]

These elite rat king's bodyguards' bodies were comprised of extremely hard muscles. Although these bullets were able to penetrate through the hide of these rats, they were stopped by the rock hard muscles from penetrating any deeper into the organs. As a result, the wounds of these elite rat king's bodyguards were superficial.

After emptying a 20 round magazine clip, Yue Zhong had only managed to kill four normal mutant rats, and did not even manage to kill a single elite rat king's bodyguard.

These elite rat king's bodyguards finally reached the area in front of Yue Zhong, and used their sharp claws to chip away at the bone ladder.

The claws of these elite rat king's bodyguards were extremely sharp, and the white bone ladder could not withstand the continuous attacks of the elite rat king's bodyguards for long before breaking.

Once the white bone ladder was broken, Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu immediately plunged towards the ground.

The 20 elite rat king's bodyguards were hiding and distributed among the rat tide. They were intently watching the descent of Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu. Once these two humans fell into the swarm of rats, they will be surrounded on all sides and be attacked by numerous rats. No matter how powerful Yue Zhong is, being attacked by countless numbers of rats at the same time would definitely finish him off.

Yue Zhong's eyes turned icy cold, and taking in a deep breathe, he quickly fired another bone spike that stabbed into the head of a normal mutant rat. The force at which the bone spike was fired from allowed it to penetrate through the skull of the mutant rat and continued to penetrate deep into the ground. It quickly extended to become another bone ladder. In this way, both of them were temporary out of danger.

But the elite rat king's bodyguards who saw this scene immediately rushed towards the new bone ladder and again, used their claws to break down the bone ladder.

This left Yue Zhong with no choice but to continuously shoot out bone spikes using both hands. Thus, he created multiple bone ladders that enabled him to continuously move forward. In the event that one of the bone spikes is broken, it is unlikely to hinder his progress in moving forward. [5]

But for every bone ladder that was shattered, the White Bone armour on Yue Zhong's body became thinner and thinner. While White Bones has the unique ability freely manipulate bones, these bone were refined from its body, and are not unlimited in number. If the bones were continuously broken, beyond a certain limit, White Bones could no longer creates new bone spikes.

Just before White Bone reached its limit, Yue Zhong finally broke through the rat tide and reached the granary.

The twenty elite rat king's bodyguards also followed Yue Zhong and was just lurking below the granary.

As mutant rat king saw Yue Zhong approaching it, it immediately jumped down from the granary. It landed on the ground, and the 20 elite rat king's bodyguards that was already there immediately surrounded it. This party of elite rats then fled.

Meanwhile, the rest of the elite rat king's bodyguards rushed towards Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu.

"It chose to escape?" Yue Zhong spied that the rat king had opted to escape and was greatly surprised. That is a level 43 mutant rat king, and its level was way higher than him! That it did not even attempt to fight and immediately opted to escape is outside of Yue Zhong's expectations

Although the rat king chose to escape, the 30 elite rat king's bodyguards and the remaining rat tide continued to surround and rush towards Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu from all sides.

Yue Zhong took one look at the endless tide of rats that was rapidly approaching him, and also chose to flee. He extended his right hand and fired a bone shard towards the roof of granary. Then using the extensible bone shard like a retractable rope, he launched himself and Ji Qing Wu to the rooftop of the granary.

The 30 elite rat king's bodyguards also quickly climbed towards the rooftop after the two intruders. [4]

Yue Zhong just took a glance at the persistent bastards, and tossed a grenade towards the rat swarm below. A loud "Boom!" sound rang out. With a massive explosion, a large number of shrapnel were flung in all directions. This killed at least 10 of the normal mutant rats and their limbs were sent flying in all directions. Yue Zhong then jumped down towards the empty space that was created by the explosion.

Having stepped foot on solid ground, Yue Zhong continuously tossed grenades at the rat swarm, creating havoc among them. From the havoc, he slowly created a path towards the direction in which the rat king has fled in.

The thirty elite rat king's bodyguards were quickly left behind by Yue Zhong's sudden movement.

The mutant king rat may be as big as a bear, but its speed was not as fast as the elite rat king's bodyguards. Hence, it was much slower than Yue Zhong. The distance between the pursuer and the pursued was continuously shortened.

Seeing the situation, the mutant king rat issued a soft growl, and four of its elite rat king's bodyguards rushed towards Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu. Surprisingly for a rat, it is as cowardly as some human leaders, and is not willing to send too many bodyguards to deal with Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu out for fear of compromising its own safety.

Looking at the four elite rat king's bodyguards that were rushing towards them, Ji Qing Wu eyes flashed with competitive spirit."Let me go!" she exclaimed. Ji Qing Wu was a naturally competitive woman and is full of fighting spirit. If not, she would not had used a beginners' staff to fight zombies in the beginning of the apocalypse. It should be known that even among the men, there were very few men that had the courage to use the beginners staff to fight against the zombies. These men were not worried about whether they could not win against the zombie, but rather was afraid that they will be infected with the zombie virus.

Yue Zhong loosen his hold and let Ji Qing Wu down. [6]

Ji Qing Wu lightly landed on the ground, and used her active skill: "Cutting edge enhancement." Her Tang imitation sword was enveloped in a layer of blue light.

Ji Qing Wu eyes gleamed with determination as she followed beside Yue Zhong. With each swing of her blade, several mutant rats were sliced apart like tofu.

In the span of a few breathe, the four elite rat king's bodyguards reached the area in front of Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu.

Yue Zhong moved his hand, and a stinger gun appeared on his hand. He suddenly accelerated like a ghost and avoided the attacks of the elite rat king's bodyguard in front of him. Then he pointed the stinger gun at the head of the elite rat king's bodyguard and pulled the trigger.

"Bam" the elite rat king's bodyguard head was blown apart, and its brains and blood combined together to form a work of art on the floor. [2]

Note:

Type 79 assault rifle

[1] Type 79 assault rifle – it is REAL dude! The author knows his guns!!

[2] It should reads ""Bam" the elite rat king's bodyguard head was blown apart, and its brains and blood splattered on the floor. " I am just kidding at the last line. My bad.

Report chapter

Another elite rat king's bodyguard lunged towards Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong twisted his body and barely managed to dodge the attack. But at the same time, he moved his stinger gun and blasted away the brains of the elite rat king's bodyguard.

Ji Qing Wu did not have as many weapons as Yue Zhong. Neither had she evolved as much as Yue Zhong. She did not even have the shadow steps skill that Yue Zhong had. But her swordsmanship skill was unparalleled, and her activated skill enhanced the deadliness of her blades. The Tang imitation sword in her hands wove a path of destruction, beheading an elite rat king's bodyguard in a single stroke even though she was lower in level than that creature. The head of the elite rat king's bodyguard flew through the air, and blood sprayed out in all directions from the wounds. A big experience point globe was immediately absorbed by her, allowing her to gain two levels with a single kill.

Despite killing an elite rat king's bodyguard, Ji Qing Wu legs had not ceased moving all this while. In the span of a heartbeat, she was standing next to the last elite rat king's bodyguard. The last elite rat king's bodyguard immediately swiped its claws at her. With her supple and flexible body, she is able to avoid the death blow aimed at her head by crouching down. Once the claws had swiped over her head, she sprung up and beheaded the last elite rat king's bodyguard with a single stroke.

Translator's rant. [needs to highlight to see it]

Where is the experience orb?

Although these elite rat king's bodyguard were level 26 mutant beasts, their combat powers were much weaker than the level 20 boss hunter. Their only advantage over the boss hunter was their unmatched sharp claws. Other than that, their strength and speed were way inferior to the boss hunter.

"Amazing! I had selected the right person to bring for this mission!" Yue Zhong saw the elegant way in which Ji Qing Wu had killed the two elite rat king's bodyguards, and was very glad that he had chosen to bring Ji Qing Wu with him. Indeed, her performance did not disappointed him.

The four elite rat king's bodyguards dropped a skill book and some [System] survival coins. Yue Zhong just kept all of them into his spatial ring, and continued to rush towards the Mutant King Rat like an arrow. The objective of this mission was to kill the Mutant King Rat. If the Mutant King Rat is not killed, the entire mission would be a failure, and there would be countless number of deaths among the humans even if the humans chose to retreat.

The Mutant King Rat saw that Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu had easily dispatched four of his bodyguards, and immediately quicken his pace. With a sharp howl, ten more elite rat king's bodyguards turned back and rushed towards Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu.

Yue Zhong just took a glance at the approaching elite rat king's bodyguards, and from his spatial ring, he rapidly received several hand grenades and threw them towards these beasts.

"Boom!" "Boomm!!" "Boommmm…!!!"

A series of explosions resounded throughout the room. The 10 elite rat king's bodyguards had not even came close to Yue Zhong before they were caught in the explosion. For 6 of these creatures, all that remained of them are the stumps of their foot, while their bones and guts were spattered all over the area.

The remaining four of the elite rat king's bodyguards faced the exact opposite situation. Their legs had been tore apart by the force of the explosion, but their life was preserved.

From a short distance away, the rapidly approaching Yue Zhong fired 4 more bone spikes at the surviving elite rat king's bodyguards. Each bone spike were fired with incredible accuracy, and pierced a massive hole through each of the surviving elite rat king's bodyguards' brains. Four massive experience globes were absorbed by Yue Zhong.

Translator's rant 1. [needs to highlight to see it]

Yue Zhong would not gain experience for using [non-System] weapons such as military weapons, grenades etc to kill any [System] creatures. However, he would gain experience orbs if he used the bone spikes as bone spikes were provided by White Bones and hence was part of the [System].

"Congratulations for reaching level 28. You have gain 2 points of stats points that you may distribute among your stats."

"Increase stamina and agility!"

Yue Zhong quickly made his choice and continued to rush towards the Mutant King Rat.

The Mutant King Rat saw that Yue Zhong is very persistent in chasing after it, and continuously screamed a low pitched shrill cry.

From all directions surrounding the granary, more and more mutant rats continuously poured out from every nook and cranny, and each of them rushed towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong continuously waved his hands and tossed multiple hand grenades into the swarm of rats. A series of explosions decorated the room with splashes of mutant rat bones, innards and bones.

Ji Qing Wu stood beside Yue Zhong, and guarded him. For each mutant rat that managed to come close to Yue Zhong, she sliced them apart with her blade skill.

The two of them wreaked a path of carnage and destruction towards the Mutant King Rats. Although they had to deal with numerous attacks from the mutant rats, their speed is still relatively quick. But the speed at which Yue Zhong used up his grenades is very rapid. Once he had used up all his grenades, both he and Ji Qing Wu would be caught in a hazardous situation.

In the span of 10 breathes, Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu are only 20 meters away from the Mutant King Rat.

Yue Zhong activated the Ice Jade Ring's "Ice Cone" skill. Magical runes appears in the air instantly and launched an Ice Cone at the foot of the Mutant King Rat.

One of the elite rat king's bodyguards immediately stood in front of the Mutant King Rat and used its body to protect the Mutant King Rat. The Ice Cone ended up penetrating a large hole in the body of the elite rat king's bodyguard. At the same time, a powerful wave of force immediately freeze that elite rat king's bodyguard.

Yue Zhong took out his stinger gun, and continuously fired towards the Mutant King Rat.

One by one, the elite rat king's bodyguards took turns to use their body to protect the Mutant King Rat.

Feeling that it was in danger, the Mutant King Rats' cries became more and more desperate and urgent, and the 30 elite rat king's bodyguards' eyes turned blood shot as they raced towards Yue Zhong group in increasingly faster speed.

The mutant rats also seemed to be frenzied as they lurched themselves at Yue Zhong without concern for their own lives. But each and every one of the mutant rats could not scratch a hair on Yue Zhong's body as Ji Qing Wu easily sliced them apart.

Yue Zhong readied his devil flame skill, and mass of flames appeared in his hand. Suddenly he accelerated and like a flash of lightening, he disappeared from Ji Qing Wu's side and appear next to the Mutant King Rat. With his devil flames, he burnt the injured elite rat king's bodyguards protecting the Mutant King Rat. They were turned into ashes.

Translator's rant 2.

Ji Qing Wu was surprised by Yue Zhong sudden burst of speed, "Incredible! Had he evolved so much?"

Even if Yue Zhong had not used any active skills, his speed had already eclipsed Ji Qing Wu by a wide margin.

Seeing that it could not flee anymore, the Mutant King Rat swiped a paw that was as big as bear towards Yue Zhong.

With his shadow step skills, he seemed to disappeared from the Mutant King Rat's sights for a moment, only to reappear behind the Mutant King Rat.

The mighty paws of the Mutant King Rat landed on the ground, and with a massive "Bam!" sound, the surrounding area also seemed to shake from the impact. There was a big imprint of the paws on the ground. If this paw strike had landed on a human body, it would had undoubtably pounded a man into meat paste. If it hits Yue Zhong, even Yue Zhong would have been killed by the might of this blow.

But Yue Zhong had long escaped behind the Mutant King Rat, and had readied another fireball. He fired the ball of fire towards the back brain of the Mutant King Rat.

There was a massive "Bam" sound as the fireball hit the Mutant King Rat. After the smoke cleared, Yue Zhong was startled to see that the fireball has only created a black burnt mark on the hairs of the Mutant King Rat and that fireball was unable to penetrate the skull.

"An impressively hard skin and skull!" Yue Zhong cried out in alarm. This is the first time he had encountered a mutant beast that even his fireball was unable to harm.

Although it is not injured, the Mutant King Rat was incensed by the attack. It shrieked out a cry of anger and turned around and attempted to smack Yue Zhong with its mighty paws.

But with the shadow step skill, Yue Zhong was able to stay one step ahead. He dodged to the right side of the Mutant King Rat, and used his stinger gun to fire 3 stinger bullets into the head of the Mutant King Rat.

The stinger gun is powerful, and a single shot was able to seriously injured or kill the elite rat king's bodyguards. However, the same weapon only managed to create 3 tiny wounds of about 2 cm diameter on the Mutant King Rat's head. Still, unlike the fireball, the stinger gun managed to make the Mutant King Rat bleed – blood began to slip out from the wounds on the Mutant King Rat's head. Although it is injured, the 3 wounds are merely superficial wounds, and are far from enough to kill the Mutant King Rat.

The Mutant King Rat cried out in pain. It was enraged and furiously lunged at Yue Zhong with both its paws.

Yue Zhong was shocked: "Even the might of the stinger gun is insufficient to kill it?"

With the shadow step skill, Yue Zhong easily dodged the attack and moved towards the back of the Mutant King Rat. He then fired more 3 more times towards the Mutant King Rat's head.

Again, the 3 stinger bullets only managed to result in another 3 minor holes in the Mutant King Rat's head.

It turned its head and in one swift motion, lashed out with a paw containing all its strength. Each of the Mutant King Rat's paw strikes was as heavy as a mountain, and a single hit could even shatter a small jeep. With but a single strike, Yue Zhong would be spattered into meat paste.

But the Mutant King Rat was not as agile as Yue Zhong. Sure, it could have killed Yue Zhong with just a single paw strike, but that was only if it could land a hit on Yue Zhong. With Yue Zhong superior speed, and under the effects of the shadow step, Yue Zhong was practically dancing in circles around it.

Once the Mutant King Rat made its moved, Yue Zhong also moved at the same time. With his superior speed, Yue Zhong was again able to position himself behind the Mutant King Rat. This time, he fired 6 stinger bullets in a row into the hole created by a previous wound.

These six consecutive bullets were able to take advantage of the earlier wounds and managed to penetrated deep into the brains of the Mutant King Rat. Although the Mutant King Rat has very hard bones and skin, its brains is made up of soft matter. The brains exploded under the onslaught, and with a last twitch of its body, the Mutant King Rat collapsed on the floor.

"Congratulations for reaching level 29. You have gain 2 points of stats points that you may distribute among your stats."

"Congratulations for reaching level 31. You have gain 2 points of stats points that you may distribute among your stats."

Once the Mutant King Rat had passed away, a massive orb of experience was absorbed into Yue Zhong's body, allowing him to grant 3 levels at once.

"Put 3 points into agility, and 3 points into stamina!"

In the battle with the Mutant King Rat, if not for the fact that Yue Zhong's speed was vastly superior to the Mutant King Rat, Yue Zhong would have died. It is a fact at he could not even withstand a single blow from that creature. Therefore he unhesitatingly invested 3 points of his hard earned skills into agility.

"Congratulations for reaching above level 30. You can learn two extra active skills outside of your job skills before reaching level 50."

"Congratulations for reaching level 30. You have received one point of skill enhancement point. Please choose a skill that you desire to enhance."

"Enhance summon skeleton skill!" Yue Zhong immediately made a choice. He wants to enhance this skill to the maximum level, and see how it will evolve.

A sudden gush of knowledge entered Yue Zhong's sea of knowledge, and in his summon skeleton skill, an additional rune was engraved in it.

A beam of black light emerged from the rune and empowered White Bones, evolving it further.

"Your summon skeleton skill has received 2 new skills.

New Skills 1: Return to Hell. When you use this powers, your skeleton will return to hell, and may self-evolve. However, in Hell, there are massive conflicts among the undead. Once your skeleton return to hell, there is a chance that your skeleton may continue to get stronger. However, there is also a chance that it may be killed by other undead, and becomes a pile of bones.

New Skills 2: Immediate summon. Using this skill, no matter where your skeleton is, it will immediately appear next to you. Cooldown: 1 day."

[See this page for the new White Bones Stats.]

"Your summon skeleton skill has already reached the maximum level. If you wish to continue to improve on this skill, you must first master the skill: Summon Dark Skeleton."

The Mutant King Rat also dropped two skill books and 200 [System] coins.

Yue Zhong immediately grabbed the 2 skill books. One of them is a skill book that enhanced stamina, while the other one is a skill book that enhance agility.

"Level 3 Passive Skill Enhancement: After learning this skill, your stamina will permanently improve by 10 points."

Yue Zhong did not hesitate and immediately learnt this skill. With a flash of light, he felt the skill immediately enhancing his stats.

Once the Mutant King Rat has died, the tide of mutant rats parted from Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu as if Moses commanded the sea to part [1]. They fled in all directions.

Translator notes.

The elite rat king's bodyguards also fled and were no longer as fearless as it was when it guarded the Mutant King Rat.

Rats are actually cowardly by nature. Given a choice to fight or flee, they will naturally prefer to flee. The mutant rats have evolved from ordinary rats, and hence inherit the cowardice of its predecessor. The only reason they attacked so aggressively was because the Mutant King Rat had a unique ability to control them, and they were powerless to resist its control. Once the Mutant King Rat had died, they were freed from its control and immediately reverted back to their cowardly nature.

Ji Qing Wu was actually saved in the nick of time by Yue Zhong. While Yue Zhong was fighting the Mutant King Rat, she was trying her best to fend off the numerous mutant rats that kept attacking her. But the packs of mutant rats were unrelenting in numbers – as soon as she killed one, two more took its place. As the rat horde kept closing in on her, she found herself without the space needed to execute her superior sword skills and could only use normal strikes to defend herself. Bit by bit she was forced back, until she finds herself in a precarious situation. If not for the timely death of the Mutant King Rat, she would be the one who died today.

Translator notes.

Without the tide of mutant rats pressurising her, Ji Qing Wu breath a sigh of relief and walked towards Yue Zhong. Seeing Ji Qing Wu, Yue Zhong passed the skill book that enhanced agility to her. He has never been selfish with empowering his men.

Seeing the skill book, Ji Qing Wu eyes shone with eagerness, and immediately learnt the skill.

After the she had learnt the skill, Yue Zhong immediately asked Ji Qing Wu for assistance, "Come and help! Help me cut away its skull."

The skull of the Mutant King Rat was very thick and Yue Zhong found the task to be very difficult. However, Ji Qing Wu have the skill "Cutting edge enhancement.", allowing any weapons in her hands to be sharper than normal. To Yue Zhong, using this skill to slice apart the skull is a very useful ability.

Translator notes.

Ji Qing Wu walked over and tried to use her enhanced Tang Imitation Sword to slice open the skull of the Mutant King Rat. Although the enhanced weapon was able to chip open a small hole in the skull, it could not sliced off the skull in one stroke as Ji Qing Wu had expected.

Ji Qing Wu's eyes flash a hint of surprise. After she had learnt the skill "Cutting edge enhancement", no matter what she tried to cut, it parted like tofu. This is the first time that she encountered something that can withdraw a blow from an enhanced blade.

Ji Qing Wu used her strength and continued to stab into the skull. After repeated attempts and expanding a lot of effort, she finally managed to stab the blade into the skull.

Leveraging the blade like a saw, she slowly but steadily cut a hole in the skull.

Yue Zhong immediately put his hands into the brains of the Mutant King Rat and try to find any monster beads.

Not long after Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu had left the camp, there were some activity going on in the middle of the camp that went unnoticed by the humans: Two claws sneakily protruded out from the ground and continuously scattered the dirt around the area. Before long, a big hole appeared in the grounds in the middle of the camp.

From that hole, two Mutant Rats Variation climbed out. These Mutant Rats Variation were the same size as a cat, but unlike the other mutant rats, they have pair of forelimbs were unusually developed and were filled with sharp claws.

"Holy Shit!! There are rats here!!"

Translator notes.

"Rat Variation!!"

Looking at the Mutant Rat Variations that were rapidly climbing out of the hole, the men were taken back, and immediately fired at these rats.

Under a hail of bullets, the first few Mutant Rat Variations were killed as soon as they emerged from the hole.

But the hole had already been dug, and from the hole, a massive number of (normal) Mutant Rats poured out..

"Fill the hole! Do not let them come out!" The leader of a small team of men roared.

7 evolvers holding Tang Imitation Swords leaped out from among that team of men, and rushed towards the hole.

Everyone knew that if these Mutant Rats continuously poured out of the hole, all the men here would die today!

The 7 men used Tang Imitation Swords to continuously sliced apart any Mutant Rats they came across. Soon they formed circle around the hole, refusing to let a single one of these creatures escape and wrack havoc within the camp.

"Let me do it!!" A militant armed with a type 79 assault rifles took advantage of the 7 evolvers' ability to prevent these Mutant Rats from climbing out of the hole. He rushed towards the hole and open fired into the hole with a mixture of glee and reckless abandonment. "Datatatatataaaa…." A continuous stream of bullets shot through the Mutant Rats that were scrambling through the hole.

After emptying all the bullets in his magazine, the militant pulled out 4 of the Mutant Rat Variations' corpses [that was covering the hole, and immediately tossed a hand grenade into the hole.

"Bombbbbbb!"A loud explosive rang out. From the hole, a wave of heat, rocks and Mutant Rats' body parts were launched into the air, creating a massive cloud of dust. After the cloud of dust has dissipated, the hole was sealed with a mixture of rocks and sand.

Suddenly a series of loud shouts sent a chill into the hearts of the men:

"There is also a hole here!!"

"Holy shit! There is another hole over here!!"

Shouts and screams erupted among the humans as multiple holes suddenly appeared at various points throughout the camp. A swamp of Mutant Rats emerged from each of these holes, and rushed towards the humans in a frenzy.

Then the whole camp erupted in an outpouring of gun fire and screams.

From Yue Zhong side of the camp, Kong Tianyu bellowed, "Spray the gasoline! Quickly spray the gasoline!"

Although there were many Mutant Rats emerging from the various holes, the number of Mutant Rats that managed to enter the camp through the tunnels were a lot lesser in numbers than the Mutant Rats Tide that was outside the ring of fire. If the Mutant Rats outside the camp took advantage of the confusion within the camp and rushed towards the camp, then all of these men would die under the jaws of the rat tide.

The two fire trucks constantly sprayed gasoline onto the flames, creating a buffer zone. The initial fire was running out of things to burn and was slowly dying out when it suddenly received this new source of fuel. Torrents of flames that was dying out received a new lease of life as the inferno erupted and raged even more fiercely.

In the camp where Yue Zhong's team was defending themselves, several rat holes had been dug by the Mutant Rats Variations. From each of these rat holes, several mutant rats emerged and rushed towards the men.

"Follow me!" Zhong Tianyu roared, as he grabbed a Tang Imitation Sword and rushed towards the closest hole.

Chen Shitou and the rest of Yue Zhong close combat team members also equipped their Tang Imitation Sword and moved forwards to intercept the Mutant Rats.

The war between men and rats became chaotic as the two side crashed together in close combat battle. Every moment, there were massive number of Mutant Rats that were killed. At the same time, there were many men who had bitten to death or seriously injured by these rats.

Yao Yao had also participated in this joint exercise. The Tang Imitation Sword in her hands seemed to be waving after-images like a ghost as it danced among the Mutant Rats. Numerous Mutant Rats continuously died in her hands, and a large number of experience orbs entered into her body, continuously strengthening her.

Little Greenie Eagle also used its wings to knock away the Mutant Rats that approached toward it. These Mutant Rats were unable to hurt it at all. With each peck, there will be a Mutant Rat corpse adding to the pile of dead Mutant Rats around it.

The militants and normal humans in various camps were either injured or killed by the unending streams of mutant rats. Only the evolvers from the LongHai teams and those who wore the Water Python Snakeskin Armor like Yue Zhong's team of evolvers were able to escape injury. The scales and skin of the Water Python Snakeskin Armor was incredibly tough. Although the Mutant Rats' teeth were incomparably sharp and were able to chew through a steel plate, the action was not immediate and took place over a period of time. Similarly, these rats could bite through the Water Python Snakeskin Armor, but only if they had the time to chew through it. Of course these battled harden warriors were not going to stand still and give the Mutant Rats this luxury.

Other than the close combat team, Yue Zhong's team also had many soldiers who were armed with type 03 rifles [See notes for picture]. They also fired at Mutant Rats in short bursts of fire. All the marksmen in Yue Zhong's team are made up of veteran soldiers. These soldier had undergone strict military training. After following Yue Zhong, they were not only required to continue these training, but were also frequently called into raiding missions where they had to clear zombies.

Under this strict diet of training combined with practical combat experience, their accuracy improved day by day, and their combat powers are way higher than normal soldiers. After all, soldiers who had experienced real combat were more useful in a war than soldiers who had just received military training.

Kong Tianyu brought his men and rushed over to all the locations where the mutant rats were streaming in from. Each time when they fought their way to a rat hole, they would fire all their bullets into the hole, and tossed in a hand grenade, closing that hole.

Although this method is not fool proof – the Mutant Rat Variations could continue to dig a path out of the plugged hole, each hole plugged brought the men a brief respite from the attacks of the Mutant Rats, making the number of Mutant Rats that they need to handle at one time more manageable.

The Mutant Rats were in reality, only level 5, and if they did not have the advantage of numbers, they would not be a match for humans. Under Kong Tianyu's leadership, the Mutant Rats' corpses piled up, and each rat hole were filled up with debris from explosions.

Just when the number of Rat Holes in the camp had been reduced to 30 or less, suddenly there were numerous claws extending from the ground at various locations within the camp. In a short span of time, 12 more massive rat holes were created by teams of four Mutant Rat Variations in concerto.

From each of these 12 massive rat holes emerged an Elite Rat King's bodyguard. 12 Elite Rat King's bodyguards glared menacingly at the humans and let loose a loud roar.

Seeing emergence of this new threat, the military men immediately aimed their guns at these monsters, and a rain of bullets sprayed out towards them from all directions.

Although these Elite Rat King's bodyguards were shot numerous times under the might of the bullet storm, these creatures did not immediately die from their wounds. With a shake of their body, they charged towards the group of humans and begin slaughtering the humans with each flash of their claws. Looking at the carnage, it was as if powerful tigers had landed among meek lambs and began a massacre.

Two of the evolvers who were armed with Tang Imitation Swords did not even had the time to react to this new threat, when an Elite Rat King's bodyguard's claws penetrated through the stomach of the first evolver and into the guts of the second evolver. As the Elite Rat King's bodyguard withdrew its hands, the intestines of both men were discarded on to the floor, while sprays of blood emerged from the wound as the surprised evolvers lifelessly sunk onto the floor. Even as their life rapidly poured out of them, in a shower of blood letting, they still did not understand how they died.

If even these evolvers were no match for the Elite Rat King's bodyguards, then normal humans were helpless against the might of the Elite Rat King's bodyguards. Each Elite Rat King's bodyguards craved out a path of carnage and destruction, littering the area around them with the blood stained corpses of the humans it killed.

"Shoot the canon! Fire the canon!" Kong Tianyu noticed that the strength of these Elite Rat King's bodyguards were extraordinary, and he immediately ROARED the order.

Once the soldiers had received the command, the soldiers manning the type ZPT90 25 mm autocannons [1] that were mounted on the IFV immediately let loose a stream of heavy firepower.

The type ZPT90 25 mm autocannons used of armour piercing rounds that could easily tear apart an armoured jeep. Although the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards had hides that were able to shrug off normal bullets, these hides were unable to withstand the might of armour piercing rounds. Under the concentrated fire, an Elite Rat King's Bodyguard ended up being shredded into pieces.

On the LongHai Military Camp side, they also began to use the ZPT90 25 mm autocannons mounted on their IFV and open fired on two Elite Rat King's Bodyguards, and tore these creatures apart.

Under the two combined might of the two IFV firepower, 5 of the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards had been ripped apart. But the remaining 7 of these creature Elite Rat King's Bodyguards were scattered around the camp, creating paths of death and destruction among the men.

Translator notes.

The IFV could not fire at the remaining 7 Elite Rat King's Bodyguards as these creatures are too close to groups of men. These bullets would not discriminate against men or beast and would also tear their allies into shreds if the autocannon continued to fire. Therefore, there was a temporary ceasefire.

Of the 7 Elite Rat King's Bodyguards, 4 of them had headed towards Yue Zhong's military group, 2 of these creatures had rushed towards the Coalition group, and 1 of them had entered into the LongHai military group.

The 2 Elite Rat King's Bodyguards that made it into the ranks of the Coalition group were like unstoppable killing machines as they massacred the men. When even evolvers could be disembowelled by a single swipe of its claws, the Coalition which comprised of ordinary men could not withstand the carnage that each of these creatures wrought.

Normal guns and weapons could barely scratched its' hide, and the Coalition were powerless to stop the rampage of these pair of killing machines. In the short span of a few breaths, there were at least 4 men that were disembowelled as their guts or hearts were ripped out from their bodies, collapsing in an orgy of blood-letting.

To compound the problem, the Coalition group was also assaulted by hordes of Mutant Rats pouring out from the rat holes at the same time.

The Elite Rat King's Bodyguard that slaughtered its way into the LongHai Military Group seemed to disappear as it blended into a group of Mutant Rats that it was leading. As the rapidly expanding numbers of Mutant Rats rushed into the camp, occasionally it will emerge from the tide of rats surrounding it. Each appearance was always accompanied by a horrifying flash of claws that cleaved apart a solider with each hit. Then as if it was never there, the Elite Rat King's bodyguard disappeared among the tide of rats again. The group of Mutant Rats and Elite Rat King's bodyguard then headed towards a group of marksmen in the Military and began a mass slaughter.

As the IFV dared not to fire the autocannon for fear of hitting its own men, the Elite Rat King's bodyguard was like a mighty and invincible beast among the marksmen. Even on the occasions that the men managed to land a hit with their machine guns, its hide allowed it to shrug off the damage.

"Xiao Wang, Lao Liu! $#%#@#!!! Mother-F*ker! Go and Die!" Looking at the corpse of 7 of his friends that were killed by the Elite Rat King's bodyguard, one of the militant's eyes turn bloodshot with rage, and toss a hand grenade towards the rapidly approach group of Mutant Rats and Elite Rat King's bodyguard.

"Boom!" The surrounding Mutant Rats and the Elite Rat King's bodyguard was blown apart by the force of the grenade, and the Elite Rat King's bodyguard stood still stupidly as half of its body seemed to be missing. Then it collapsed.

But as the explosion was too close, the one that threw the grenade was also caught in its blast radius. His right leg was blasted off, and his whole body was covered in blood and shrapnel pieces. He collapsed onto the ground and was barely alive himself. He found himself slowly dying as blood seeped out from his wounds, staining the earth with the red colour of his blood. Then all is black.

One of four Elite Rat King's bodyguards had just entered Yue Zhong's group's camp when little Greenie Eagle leaped down from the top of a vehicle and pinned it to ground with its claws. With a peck of its mighty beaks, it crushed the head of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard and scattered the remains of its brains all over the floor.

These Elite Rat King's bodyguards were not stupid. Seeing how easily Little Greenie Eagle killed one of its own, they chose to avoid going near Little Greenie Eagle and headed towards the rest of the men.

Yue Zhong's group were comprised of brave men who were not afraid of these creatures. Seeing one of the Elite Rat King's bodyguards approaching them, 4 of the close combat team members gripped their Tang Imitation Sword tightly, and rushed towards the Elite Rat King's bodyguard. The team of four men were wearing Water Python Snakeskin Armour and it gave them the confidence to engage these killing machines in close combat.

Like an enraged panther, the Elite Rat King's bodyguard also charged towards the men, and swiped at one of them with its claws as if it was batting aside a fly.

With a single hit, a terrifying force sent that man flying with . Blood oozed out from his mouth while in flight, creating a red colour arc in the air. As he landed heavily on the ground, he seemed unable to get up and was barely conscious. A close look will reveal that his outer garments had been torn, and even the Water Python Snakeskin Armour that could resist bullets had been imprinted with the creature's claws mark. Although the Water Python Snakeskin Armour had prevented the Elite Rat King's bodyguard from disembowelling him in a single strike, it could not protect him against the force of the impact.

The other 3 members of the close combat team swung their Tang Imitation Sword with all their might as they chopped towards the body of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard.

Although these close combat team members were evolvers, they do not have any powerful skills from the [System]. As a result, their blades could only leave white colour slash marks on the hide of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard. They were dismayed to find that they could not even cut through the hide to make this creature bleed!

There was an irritated look in the eyes of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard. In its eyes, it considered the three men surrounding it as nothing more than pesky flies. It raised its left hand to swat away these files. The faces of these men turned pale. They had seen what a swipe of these claws could do to their comrade earlier.

Before its paw could complete the slash, a small shadowy figure used incredible speed to appear behind the Elite Rat King's bodyguard. With a trust of its blade, the shadowy figure stabbed a Tang Imitiation Sword into the right eye of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard. Then she retreated.

All animals have at least one critical points on their body: their eyes. No matter how powerful these animals are, the eyes of a creature is a weak spot. The Elite Rat King's bodyguard is no exception to this rule. The Tang Imitation Sword was able to stab deep into the creature's brain from opening created by the eyes.

The Elite Rat King's bodyguard struggled for a brief moment as it lashed about in its death throes, and desperately struggled to pull out the sword. But it was obvious that this creature is getting weaker and weaker. With a sudden stiffening of its body, it collapsed into a pool of light and dropped a skill book.

A large experience orb entered into the body of the shadowy figure. Only then did the 3 men who was fighting the Elite Rat King's bodyguard realised that the small shadowy figure is actually Yao Yao.

Yao Yao picked up the Skill book and saw that it is a level 3 Agility Enhancement Skill book. With but a thought, she immediately opt to learn this skill and the skill book vanished as a glow of light surrounded her and empowered her.

Seeing this, the 3 close combat team members' mouths slightly curled, but they did not say anything.

Yue Zhong had a very strict rule: All the items that were dropped by any creatures in the [System] had to be submitted to him. Only he was allowed to distribute these rewards based on merits of his men. Secretly keeping an item or learning a skill from a dropped skill book was a big offence, and once any transgressors were discovered, they would be sentenced to death.

But Yao Yao had just saved their lives. In addition, she was on close terms with Yue Zhong. They had no intention of reporting Yao Yao for this violation of rules.

On the other side of Yue Zhong's camp, one of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard was locked in fierce combat with Kong Tianyu, Chen Shitou and two other close combat team members.

That Elite Rat King's bodyguard swiped a massive paw at one close combat team members and sent him flying. Although he is not disembowelled in one hit, his bones were crushed from the impact of the blow.

Chen Shitou had innately practiced a type of kung fu before the apocalypse. After he had attained the ability to evolve, he had participated in numerous raiding missions with Yue Zhong's team. Although he joined Yue Zhong's team relatively late compared to other members, his level is not low, and he is now a level 7 evolver. He stepped forward, and using his kung fu training, launched a mighty low kick at the Elite Rat King's bodyguard's leg.

The Elite Rat King's bodyguard lost its balance and fell heavily into the floor.

Chen Shitou quickly used his military knife to cut the throat of the prone Elite Rat King's bodyguard. If this is a man or an ordinary zombie, they will be decapitated by now. Alas! The knife was unable to even scratch a mark on the surface of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard's skin.

The Elite Rat King's bodyguard used its hands to support itself and was trying to stand up again by pushing against the ground.

Kong Tianyu was not going let go of this excellent opportunity. He quickly stepped forwards, and stabbed his Tang Imitation Sword through an eye socket of this beast. Then he used his body weight to push the sword deeper and deeper into the eye socket, while twisting and turning the sword in his hands. The blade drilled a path inside the brains of this Elite Rat King's bodyguard, pounding it into a sticky brain paste.

But Kong Tianyu has made a fatal error – he was standing in front of the Elite Rat King's bodyguard as he used all his strength to drive the Tang Imitation Sword deeper into its brain. The Elite Rat King's bodyguard's lashed out in fury at the pain and Kong Tianyu was unable to avoid its claws and was sent flying. However, a massive experience orb also entered into his body, and instantly promoted him to level 12 at one shot.

At the same time a valuable skill book was dropped.

Report chapter

Having killed an Elite Rat King's Bodyguard, Little Greenie Eagle searched the area for any more threats. It's sharp eyes spied the last Elite Rat King's Bodyguard in Yue's Zhong camp, and with a terrible speed, it rushed towards it. With a single peck, its mighty beak crushed the brains of Elite Rat King's Bodyguard before the Elite Rat King's Bodyguard could react.

"Boom!!!" "Boommmmmbbb!!"

Two mighty explosion rang out. The last 2 Elite Rat King's Bodyguards were taken down by two suicide bombers in the Coalition group armed with live grenades in a Kamikaze attack.

But how did the various factions in the Coalition group got hold of these weapons, especially grenades, in the first place? It should be noted that in China before the apocalypse, machine guns and hand grenades were restricted to the army or police. It is the same in LongHai Survival Camp.

The truth is that a lot of the Coalition group members had cultivated good Guanxi (Relations) with the Military in LongHai Survival Camps. After the apocalypse, weapons are strength, and strength means survival in a post-apocalypse world. Many factions have donated food and women to get weapons such as machine guns and hand grenades from the Military, and these weapons become the bottom line insurance for their lives.

Without the added threat of the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards, the rest of the men began to slowly turn the tide against the Mutant Rats that were still pouring out of the rat holes. The men quickly worked together to deal with the Mutant Rats in their territory and close up each existing hole with a grenade.

Just when the situation was getting under control, again several pairs of claws protruded from the ground and scattered rocks and soil all over the grounds. With the Mutant Rat Variations working in unison, 24 large holes were quickly created. From each of these holes, an Elite Rat King's Bodyguard emerged.

Looking at this situation, all the men felt a hinge of despair. It was with great difficulty and heavy causalities before they managed to kill 12 of these monsters, and now there are twice as many Elite Rat King's Bodyguards! Even if they managed to kill or drive these creatures off, the death count will be very high, and many of them would undoubtedly perished. As well, even if they managed to drive off this wave of beast, will the next wave come in even greater numbers?

Having experienced what these beasts could do if they ran unchecked, the men manning the type ZPT 90 25mm autocannon in the IFV immediately focused all their firepower on this new threat.

Under the roar of the autocannon firepower, many of the Mutant Rats and Elite Rat King's Bodyguards were torn asunder.

But as powerful as the IFVs were, there were only 2 of these machines. Although 8 of the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards were ripped into shreds, 16 of the monstrous creatures still managed to lead a large number of Mutant Rats into the areas where there are dense concentrations of men.

Just when the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards and Mutant Rings were about to engage the humans in fierce combat, a surprising thing occurred. The swarm of rats suddenly scattered and fled in all directions, leaving the men alone.

Even the Elite Rat King's Bodyguards that were unstoppable killing machines suddenly raised their head, sniffed into air, and ran back to the hole they appeared from.

The two gunners from the IFV grinned and displayed their might as the autocannon burst apart some of the fleeing Mutant Rats and Elite Rat King's Bodyguards.

"Do not shoot anymore!""Stop shooting! Stop shooting!" Kong Tianyu yelled out a command.

Yue Zhong's forces had limited ammo. It is for this reason that the IFV seldom use its type ZPT 90 25mm autocannon. The autocannon is ususally used for showing off their strength and not for actual combat. Only when the men in Yue Zhong's camp were facing a desperate situation did Kong Tianyu authorised the use of this weapon of war. The reason why Yue Zhong had trained a large number of close combat team members is because they want to conserve their ammunition.

Although the firepower is very strong, but the consequences of reliance on these weapons is also very dangerous. Without bullets, a sword is much better than a rifle as a weapon.

All the men in Yue Zhong team's stopped firing, and the surviving close combat team members immediately chased and hacked apart any Mutant Rats within reach. Now that these Mutant Rats are fleeing and not attacking them in groups, the Mutant Rats are easy prey. Each Mutant Rats are level 5 Mutant beasts, and each kill will enable the close combat team members to gain more experience and hopefully evolve further.

After Yue Zhong has slayed the Mutant Rat King, the Mutant Rats and Elite Rat King's Bodyguards are in confusion and dispersed in all direction as they fled the area. Seeing the actions of Yue Zhong's team members who continuously collected the experience orbs, the rest of the evolvers from the Coalition group also charged out with their Tang Imitation Swords, and tried to gain more experience.

Watching the fleeing Mutants Rats and Elite Rat King's Bodyguards, the surviving humans let out a cheer. In this battle, although approximately 100 men had been killed, they had attained victory at last.

Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu returned to the camp. All around them is the corpses of rats, blood and guts of men, testifying to the intensity of the battle in the camp.

Once he returned to the camp, Yue Zhong immediately sought out Kong Tianyu. Grabbing his arm, Yue Zhong asked, "Is anyone killed or injured?"

For this mission, all the men that Yue Zhong brought out are elite troops from his party. Each of these men had killed at least 30 zombies. As well, all of these elite troops were equipped with Water Python Snakeskin Armor. Even if there is one death, Yue Zhong would be saddened by the loss of an elite troop member.

"Report: Two of our men were seriously injured. However, they had already consumed the Life Recovery Grass, and their life should not be in danger." Zhong Tianyu also passed a skill book and a small pile of coins to Yue Zhong. "Captain Yue, this is a skill book that dropped and some coins."

"Level 2 skill: Super Strength Enhancement. After activating this skill, within 30 secs, your strength will be increased by 30. However, after 30 secs, current stamina will drop by 10 points. If current stamina is less than 10 points, you will be unable to use this skill."

Yue Zhong tossed the book to Kong Tianyu. "This time you have done well! This skill book will be yours!"

Yue Zhong was not interested in this skill. The surge in power of this skill could only be used for a short time, and learning this skill will also consume one slot and reduced the number of active skills he may learn.

"Thank you, Captain Yue!" Kong Tianyu was very happy, and immediately learnt the skill. With a ray of light, the book disappeared, and the knowledge of that skill appeared in his mind.

At level 10, he gained the ability to enhance one skill. However, at that time he did not have any skills. Now that he had a skill, he also chose to put his skill enhancement point to this skill.

From his mind came a message "Level 2 skill: Surge in Strength 1! After using this skill, your strength will increase by 35 for a time period of 5 mins. After 5 mins, your current stamina will be reduced by 10. If your current stamina is lower than 10, you may not use this skill. There is no cooldown on this skill."

Kong Tianyu was very glad, and in his heart, he laughed "Hahahaha, with this I am now a true evolver!"

Once he activated this skill, for 5 minutes Kong Tianyu will become like Hercules, and normal men would not be able to withstand the might of his blows!

Yue Zhong walked towards the injured men.

Seeing Yue Zhong, the two men who were injured tried to get up and called out weakly, "Captain Yue!"

Yue Zhong just helped them back to rest. "There is no need to get up. Just focus on resting for now and slowly regain your strength!"

The two injured men was touched and feebly nodded their heads. This consideration for their well-being increased the feeling of loyalty they felt towards Yue Zhong.

After ensuring that all his men were all right, Yue Zhong then walked towards the LongHai Military camp.

The LongHai Military group painted a tragic scene. Other than the men who were smacked to death or disembowelled, there are 8 more soldiers who had been bitten by the Mutant Rats. These men were spread out on the floor, and blood seeped out from their wounds, while they cried out in pain.

Xu Zhigang was holding an injured man in his arms. This man is wounded in several places, and he was crying as he begged Xu Zhigang. "Platoon leader! Please shoot me and release me from this agony! I can't stand it. It is so painful! Please have mercy on me and end my sufferings!"

Xu Zhigang was fiercely holding back the tears in his eyes as he shouted. "Lang Zi! Please hold on!! I will definitely save you! You will definitely get well!"

Report chapter

Lang Zi, the man who was being held by Xu Zhenggang, was among the bravest soldiers under Xu Zhenggang's command. Both Lang Zi and Xu Zhengggang were initially assigned to the same platoon. Having experienced countless numbers of battles together, their relationships were as close as brothers. When the Elite Rat King's Bodyguard attacked the military group, Lang Zi is among the first men to step out to engage the new threat.

With tears streaming down his face, Lang Zi begged "Platoon Leader!! I know you are a good man. But I also know that we do not have any medicine. With my injuries, even I successfully made it back to LongHai Military Base, I will also die! Why don't you just shoot me and spare me the agony from these pain? Please, I am begging you!!"

After the apocalypse, medicine, like food, became a valuable resource. After raiding Qing Yuan County, a large number of medicine were acquired by the LongHai survival camp government. Due to limited supply of medicine, only men who were living in the Special Administrative Region in the LongHai survival camp were able to get medical treatment. As for other men, even if they were injured, they were only able to either find ways to heal themselves or wait for death.

As the army was the one who conducted the raid, Lei Cheng (offside note: Lei Cheng is the military commander in LongHai Survival Camp) had misappropriated a lot of medicines and kept them as his personal stash. However, these medicines were all for his relatives, his personal aides and himself. There is no way he would share the medicines with anyone else. Xu Zhengang is not a personal aide of Lei Cheng, and could not even get hold of any medicine from Lei Cheng.

Xu Zhenggang was a thoroughbred soldier. His loyalty did not rest with Lei Cheng, but resided within the country and government. If Lei Cheng should attempt to stage a military coup to take control of LongHai Survival Camp, Xu Zhenggang would resist the hostile takeover with all his might.

What Lei Cheng really desired are soldiers who obeyed all his orders without question and were willing to carry out his orders, even if his orders put them in conflict with the government or country. Therefore, Xu Zhenggang had never been on close terms with Lei Cheng.

In the military, there was a clear chain of command. This was the foundation on which the military was based on. Only and only Lei Cheng could issue any military commands and mobilised the army as Lei Cheng is the army commander. As Xu Zhenggang was soldier under the command of the military, even if the government would like Xu Zhenggang to be in charge of this expedition, they must first received Lei Cheng's approval to do so.

But Lei Cheng was a man who looked after his own interest first. He would not always follow the government's instructions. At the same time, the government was worried about Lei Cheng getting too much power. As a result, the relationship between the government and the military in LongHai survival camp could be described as being strained. Even if the government wanted to take control of the distribution of medicine in the army, it would be but an empty dream – the government did not have the power to take over the military and Lei Cheng would never agree to hand over the medical supplies.

In the military, for men who were as seriously injured as Lang Zi, most platoon commanders would not hesitate to deliver the coup de grace and end the suffering of his soldiers. But how could Xu Zhenggang bear to kill them? These men had been in countless numbers of battle with him and are closer to him than his own brothers.

The pain that the rest of the 7 injured men were going through were also visible on their face and actions as they winced, groan and trashed about. All of the injuries were very serious and it is obvious that if they did not receive any medical treatment, they would die.

The rest of the men in the platoon could only stand and watch the scene unfold with tears in their eyes, and feelings of sadness and being powerless to help swelled in their hearts. All of these injured men are men who had experienced several life and death situations with them. Their relationships were cultivated over the spans of several dangerous missions where they worked as one and trusted in each other to watch their backs as they overcame many obstacles together. Over time, an unshakable bond was formed between them.

"F*k! There is no justice in this world? We stand in the front lines of all battles, risking our lives for these bastards, and what do we get in return? They will not even spare any medicine for us? What are we in the eyes of these men? Are we still regarded as human beings? When the pets of the men living in the Special Administrative Region were sick, they had access to a vet. Are, we the soldiers who risked our lives to get more food for the population of LongHai Survival Camp, even inferior to (pet) dogs?" A burly soldier threw his military cap to the floor in frustration as he let loose a stream of profanities at the government and military in command.

Many rich men and women in the Special Administrative Region kept dogs as pet. Even when there was a shortage of food and countless numbers of people in LongHai survival camp were starving and dying of hunger, these dogs were well fed with superior dog food or left-overs of human food. When these dogs were sick, they had access to vets and expensive veterinary medicine. In contrast, the living conditions for many survivors in LongHai Survival Camp were inferior to a dog!

The burly men's words struck a chord with the sentiments in the hearts of the solders. Another soldier also took off his military cap and threw it to the ground in frustration. "That's right! We are disposable! Even if we died, in the eyes of the top brass in the government or military, we are worse than a dog!"

Listening to these words, the morale of the soldiers dropped drastically. These men were often the first to engage in battle and the last to retreat. They often have to participate in many dangerous missions to raid food and other supplies, and have a high injury and death toll. These soldiers are also human. Seeing this unfair and biased treatment, all these soldiers were of course, unhappy and fuming in anger.

Lang Zi knew that he will definitely die. He took the opportunity to finally say the words that he had longed kept in his heart. "Platoon Leader! You bring the rest of our brothers … and leave! The further you go… the better! Do not follow Lei Cheng anymore, he wants … he wants the lives of us all!"

Lang Zi's words spelled out what many soldiers also felt in their hearts but did not say it out. They all just stared at the platoon commander, Xu Zhenggang. They were not blind, nor were they stupid. They of course knew the Lei Cheng had regarded them as disposable men.

Xu Zhenggang had tears in his eyes as he replied: "Lang Zi, we cannot leave! We are military soliders, government soldiers and civilian soldiers. Now that the country is in danger, we, the military, have to protect the citizens. If we all leave, who will protect our people and country?"

There was a bitter smile in Lang Zi mouth, as he sighed. He had worked with Xu Zhenggang for so many years, of course he knew the character of Xu Zhenggang inside out. Xu Zhenggang was a man with strong convictions and belief. No matter what others people said to him, he would never give up on his beliefs. But this was also what made Xu Zhenggang so attractive to his men, and why Lang Zi was willing to fight alongside Xu Zhenggang.

At this time, Yue Zhong stepped forward.

"I can heal them, and in addition, I have 70% chance that they will be completed healed." Yue Zhong said.

Xu Zhenggang eyes shone with a flash of hope, but at the same time, he was wary of Yue Zhong. "What are your terms and conditions? If you want me to betray the government or military in LongHai survival camp, I will not agree to your terms."

Xu Zhenggang was not that stupid as to believe that Yue Zhong would help him out of the goodness in Yue Zhong's heart. The situation among these two leaders was quite awkward – after this joint mission had been concluded, it is likely that they might be enemies in the near future.

Yue Zhong looked at the men who were injured and named his terms. "If I heal you, after you have recovered, you must join my team and become my men. Your boss, Lei Cheng, treated your lives as insignificant as grass. But I see you men as treasures! If you are willing to join me, I will give you nothing but the best! The best weapons, the best food, the best medicine! All these are available to you! If you have the ability, having two or more wives is also not a problem! "

In Yue Zhong's side, what he lacked most were professional soldiers. Also, he had raided a military base and received many military weapons like IFVs, there were few soldiers who were proficient in using these weapons. If he needs to train these soldiers from scratch, it would require a large amount of petrol, bullets, and time. Therefore soldiers who were already trained are treasures in the eyes of Yue Zhong. Not only can he save on the resources needed to train these soldiers, but each soldiers that joined his party could immediately be put to work in defending his camp.

Even if these soldiers could not drive or operate IFVs, these experienced soldiers only need more combat experiences and they would be elites among the men. These battle hardened men would be much stronger and more stable in a real battle then the conscripted soldiers in his army.

Xu Zhenggang pointed his fingers at the 8 men and said. "Then please heal them. They are all good soldiers. I promise you that once you have healed them, I will strike them out from the military list, and they will be your men."

If these soldiers did not get any help, they would die without any doubts. Xu Zhenggang could not bear the thoughts of men who he regarded as brothers dying, especially when an opportunity to preserve their lives is right in front of him.

Yue Zhong nodded and took out some powder made from the Life Saving Grass, and sprinkled them into a bowl of water. Then he let the men drink the bowl of water and sprinkle some powder onto the wounds of these men.

Under the miraculous effects of the Life Saving Grass, the 8 men's wounds slowly began to heal, and their situation shown signs of stabilizing.

Seeing that the wounds on these 8 soldiers were slowly closing and that their comrades' conditions were stabilizing, the surrounding soldiers also heaved a sigh of relief. These men had fought besides them in countless battles. Needless to say, there were close relationships between the injured soldiers and their platoon mates.

Having seen the miraculous recovery of 8 of his subordinates, Xu Zhenggang sincerely thanked Yue Zhong.

"There is no need for thanks! Since they are my men, of course I will naturally protect their lives." Yue Zhong replied. Looking at the rest of the soldiers crowding around these men, he asked, "All of you are the bravest soldiers I ever had the pleasure to meet! Would you like to join my team? I will give all of you the best benefits!"

Listening to Yue Zhong's recruitment speech, many soldiers were greatly tempted. Yue Zhong did not abandon these seriously injured soldiers, and even used miraculous medicines to heal the injured. In contrast, Longhai Military group was not even willing to give these soldiers common medicine. These men were not as stubborn as Xu Zhenggang and naturally preferred to work for a caring commander than someone who regarded their lives as disposable.

Xu Zhengggang was furious at Yue Zhong's attempt to pull his men to his side. But when he considered the injustices that his men had to go through, he could not find the heart to voice out his rage. After all, these men were as close to him as his brothers, and he also wanted the best for them.

One of the soldiers stepped forward, and looked into Xu Zhenggang's eyes. With tears in his eyes, he exclaimed, "Platoon commander Xu, I apologise! I am no longer willing to risk my life for these bastards! Even the dogs in the Special Administrative Region have vets to take care of them when they were sick, while we soldiers who risked our lives to grab resources for these men could not even have any medical treatment when we were injured in the line of duty. We are men and have flesh and blood too, but they treated us even worse than dogs! I have no desire to work for them anymore!"

Another soldier bit down on his lips and clenched his fists. When he could endure it no longer, he also stepped out. "That's right! We all knew that if we use items from the [System, we will be able to become stronger and evolve. But look at our men who had been fighting in battles with us! Which one of them ever had the chance to evolve? All the drops from [System] were kept by Lei Cheng. Look at the Coalition Group that were comprised of civilians. Even they have evolvers! We cannot even compare to these men!"

Indeed, in Xu Zhenggang's platoon, not a single one of his men were equipped with any items from the [System]. Since Xu Zhenggang was not willing to follow all orders without question, the Military Commander, Lei Cheng, was very careful not to allow any [System] resources to fall in the hands of this group of men. It was apparent that he did not want this group og men to gain power.

Listening to the grievances of the two men who stepped out and stood behind Yue Zhong, one by one, more and more men stepped out and stood behind Yue Zhong's side.

That these men were willing to follow Yue Zhong was not due to Yue Zhong's charisma. To these men, Xu Zhenggang and Yue Zhong were equally good leaders. However, in light of the unfairness and injustice from the military and government forces, these men were pushed to stand at Yue Zhong's side.

They were fed up of the unjust treatments that they had received from these groups of people. Previously they had no choice but to continue to endure these injustices as they were not confident of surviving alone in this post-apocalypse world. But now that they had chance to work for another faction that had promised to treat them better, they all jumped at the opportunity.

There were no doubts in their minds at all that Yue Zhong would fulfill his promise to treat them better – they had seen that Yue Zhong was willing to use some miraculous medicine to save their comrades earlier. This action already spoke volumes of the extent that Yue Zhong went to take care of his men.

"You guys!!!" Xu Zhenggang looked at the men standing behind Yue Zhong. He felt helpless – there were more than half of his men who had already moved to stand behind Yue Zhong.

Xu Zhenggang's eyes turned bloodshot as he fiercely glared at Yue Zhong. "Yue Zhong, do you want to force all of us to serve your faction?"

Each of men still standing behind Xu Zhenggang side were alarmed. They had seen Yue Zhong's team members in action earlier and his team indeed had the power to annihilate all of the remaining men standing behind Xu Zhenggang.

Yue Zhong just calmly replied: "I do not have that intention. But these men joined me of their own free will by stepping behind me. Once they became my men, I will not easily let anyone snatch them away."

LongHai Survival Camp still had a massive military presence. If Yue Zhong had opted to force all the men in Xu Zhenggang platoon to join his team, LongHai survival camp would take this transgression as a reason for war.

From Yue Zhong's perspective, even if they win the war, they will only do so with heavy losses. A war will consume a significant number of resources such as bullet, medicine and cannon ammo. Before he created a factory for producing more of these resources, he preferred to try to conserve whatever resources he had.

If it was possible to avoid a battle with mere words, he would rather not fight. But if a battle is imminent, he will not shrink from it either.

Xu Zhenggang suspiciously looked at Yue Zhong. "How do you plan to distribute the food?"

Now that the Coalition group had suffered massive loss of lives, and half of the surviving men in the Military group had joined Yue Zhong's side, the balance of power had tipped in Yue Zhong's favour, and Yue Zhong's team was indisputably the strongest among them all. Xu Zhenggang was very worried about this issue. If Yue Zhong had chosen to take advantage of this chaos and rob them of their share, Xu Zhenggang would have no choice but to concede.

Yue Zhong just glanced at Xu Zhenggang and replied: "Nothing has changed from our earlier agreement. I will take 50% of any resources we find. The other 50% you divide it among your party and the Coalition. I will not interfere in this."

Xu Zhenggang then breathed a sigh of relief, and with a bitter expression, he glanced at his former platoon men who opted to be with Yue Zhong's group. "Leave! Get out of my sight!!"

Yue Zhong turned around and walked towards the Coalition group.

The soldiers who chose to leave saluted Xu Zhenggang for one last time. Then they gathered the 8 injured soldiers and walked towards Yue Zhong's camp.

In the camp of the Coalition group, there were 10 men who were injured. Yue Zhong requested for the men whom he felt that he could possibility save. In this cruel post-apocalypse landscape, medicine was a rare resource. Therefore, when Yue Zhong offered to save these men in exchange for their joining his team, of course no factions within the resources will refuse. One less injured soldier to take care of means that they could save on expensive resources like medicine and food.

These injured soldiers were very thankful to Yue Zhong for agreeing to save their lives. Hence after they had recovered, almost all of them agreed to work under Yue Zhong's banner.

In addition, 6 smaller faction leaders brought all their men with them and requested to join Yue Zhong's team.

In LongHai Survivor Camp, the bigger factions were thriving. However, smaller factions were struggling to get by. Being a leader of a smaller faction was not something cool nor was it enviable. These faction leaders had to find various ways and means to feed their men. As their teams were small in number and relatively weak, they found it very hard to do so. That was why they were tempted by the offer of food from the military and had taken part in this joint expedition.

Of course Yue Zhong did not reject any men. As long as these men were willing to follow his rules, he was willing to accept any men. Right now, what he lacked most is manpower.

After the battle, the camp is littered with the corpses of the Mutant Rats. Many men also take these rat corpses and proceeded to roast the rats.

After the apocalypse, many men had not tasted meat for a long time. To them, the Mutant Rats corpses were very tasty treats. [Yikes!!]

The camp was soon filled with the sweet smell of roast rats. Some of the smaller teams in the Coalition group were packing the Mutant Rat corpses into the truck, and was prepared to stock up these creatures as exotic food.

After skinning and drying these rats, it is also possible to make rat meat jerky from the the meat of these corpses.

Translator notes.

In the Military group and Yue Zhong's group, all the men were also stocking up the corpses of these Mutant Rats. These are rare treats and a delicacy to be had!

Yue Zhong gave a command to Chen Shi Tou. "Quickly take some members with you and retrieve all the corpses the Elite Rat King's bodyguards."

Although the hides of these Elite Rat King's bodyguards were inferior to that of the Water Python Snakeskin Armor, but these are also good materials for making leather armour. After all, these creatures could shrug off the impact of normal weapons and bullets, and normal zombies will not be able to break through these hides and infect his team members with the zombie virus.

Although the Water Python Snakeskin armour was much better than this ratskin hide, there is a limit to the number of armour that could be made given the limited number of snakes that Yue Zhong had encountered. At most there will be 70 sets of Snakeskin armour.

These Elite Rat King's bodyguard skin may be slightly inferior to that of the Water Python Snakeskin armour, but the number of these creatures are not small in number. These Elite Rat King's bodyguard hides will allow Yue Zhong to better equip his team members.

Even the fur of the Mutant Rats could be used to create clothes. Although there were many tailoring machines in Stone Horse village, there were limited number of materials that could be used to make clothes. Almost everyone else were wearing what they had worn before the apocalypse, and changes of clothes were rare.

[Wag1990 explanation: It might imply that they just haven't created any clothes that will help them survive this apocalypse. Basically it is saying that they are wearing normal, unarmored, civilian clothing that was made before the apocalypse and provides no protection whatsoever.]

After collecting a large number of Mutant Rats' corpses, all these men then drove their vehicles toward their objective: the granary.

Translator notes.

After opening a storeroom in the granary, the men were delighted to discover that there was a small mountain of food inside. Bags upon bags of rice were stacked neatly into columns and rows, filling the granary. However, some of the bags of grains had been bitten open by rats, and a lot of the food were spilled onto the floor.

The granary had 8 storerooms. But of the 8 storerooms, only 5 of them contained food. The remaining 3 storerooms were empty. But in the 5 remaining storerooms that contained food, about 20% of the food had been eaten by the rats. On closer examination, about half of the food in the granary was deemed to be eaten by the rats.

Yue Zhong looked at the 3 empty store rooms that were supposed to be full of food, but he did not say anything.

Looking at the amount of food still remaining in the granary, all the men from Military or Coalition group who participated in this mission went crazy with excitement. They continuously grabbed the stacks of food and moved them to their vehicles. Food in LongHai Survival Camp is more valuable than gold!

Yue Zhong ignored the actions of other men. Instead, he had some of his men to guard his share of 2.5 storerooms worth of food, while the rest of his men continued to load the food into the vehicles. When the vehicles are full, he had the workers transport the food to Stone Horse Village to unload the food, then come back again. Meanwhile, the other half of his team continued to guard the food. There was too much food for their vehicles to load at one go.

Now that the most pressing issue had been resolved, Yue Zhong then examined the spoils of war. During their chase of the Mutant Rat King, Ji Qing Wu and he had killed several Elite Rat King's bodyguards, and 4 skill books were dropped. On closer examination, the 4 skill books were Level 2 shadow steps, Level 2 massive strength, Level 2 heal, and Level 2 continuous miniature fireball.

"Level 2 Heal: Using this skill, one may treat most types of injuries, including external wounds and internal injuries. The healing effect of this skill is relatively good. Using this skill will consume 20 spiritual points. Non-priest class who mastered this skill may only use this skill once a day."

"Level 2 continuous miniature fireball: Using this skill, 5 miniature balls of fire can be summoned. All five fireballs will become a continuous stream of fireballs to attack an enemy. Using this skill will consume 20 spiritual points. Non-mage class that mastered this skill may only use this ability once a day."

Yue Zhong swiftly decided how he planned to distribute these skills. "Liu Yan should get the shadow step skill while Lu Wen will get the healing skill. As for the Level 2 Massive strength skill, I will grant this skill to Chen Shi Tou – His performance is very good. Chen Yao is a mage class, so giving her the Continuous Miniature Fireball skill will be best for her."

Having determined how he would distribute the skill books, Yue Zhong took out the crystal that he had received from the Mutant Rat King's brain. He was in conflict over if he should eat this crystal. He looked at the crystal. Unlike the red blood bead, he did not feel any temptation to eat it.

Looking at the crystal in Yue Zhong's hands, Little Greenie Eagle's eyes seemed to shine with a bright light. Flapping its wings, it rushed towards Yue Zhong. Before Yue Zhong could react, Little Greenie grabbed the crystal in its beak and immediately swallowed the crystal.

Looking at Little Greenie Eagle's actions, Yue Zhong had a flash of inspiration: "Looks like the crystal is for Mutant Beasts to eat!" he thought.

The crystal and the red blood beads were very rare items. After killing so many Mutant beast, Yue Zhong noted that only Mutant beasts of level 30 and above had a chance of dropping a red blood bead. As for the crystal, this is his first time seeing one.

As expected, in the bodies of the Level 26 Elite Rat King's bodyguards, there were no red blood beads nor crystals.

After swallowing the crystal, Little Greenie Eagle seemed to use its wings to curl itself up, and stopped moving as it slept.

Seeing that Little Greenie Eagle seemed to be all right, Yue Zhong also swallowed the red blood bead.

The red blood bead seemed to turn into a fiery bead of fire as it travelled through Yue Zhong's body, continuously changing and strengthening his body.

From his brain came a message from the [System: "Congratulations! Your vitality has been enhanced by 12 points, and your strength has been enhanced by 3 points!"

"Woah! 12 vitality? This Mutant King Rat's red blood bead is really powerful!" Yue Zhong could not help grinning in delight.

Each of the 6 stats had their own use. Having more vitality would increase his rate of recovery when he is injured, and made his rate of recovery much faster than normal men.

Little Greenie Eagle slept until late into the night. While it was sleeping, feathers began to drop from its body. Each feather was quickly replaced by new feathers that seemed to grow very rapidly. His body also seemed to grow bigger.

After Little Greenie Eagle woke up, it opened its eyes and spread its wings. Then with a leap, it flew into the sky.

"Yes! Finally it can fly! This is great!" Yue Zhong was very happy to see that Little Greenie Eagle could fly.

An eagle is a king in the sky. If Little Greenie had continued to be a flightless bird, it would have lost its biggest advantage. Now that Little Greenie could fly, Yue Zhong's forces had gained a powerful flying ally.

Nobody noticed the moment when Yao Yao managed to slip in beside Yue Zhong. She looked at Little Greenie who was soaring happily in the sky, and she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.

Little Greenie circled several rounds in the air before landing besides Yue Zhong. It seemed to be rubbing its head against Yue Zhong and thanking him.

"Level 36 Mutant Green Feather Eagle. Have the ability to fly and rock hard feathers."

Yue Zhong's Eyes of Perception's ability allowed him to observe the changes to Little Greenie. After swallowing the crystal, Little Greenie immediately raise 10 levels, and its powers have increased exponentially.

Yao Yao also raised her hands and stroke Little Greenie's feathers.

After it had transformed, Little Greenie's feathers become very sensitive. When it sensed Yao Yao touching it, it immediately flapped its wings. Poor Yao Yao was sent flying for 5 to 6 m away, and was covered in dust and soot.

Being one of the mightiest creatures under the sky, Little Greenie Eagle was very proud. Other than its master Yue Zhong, it did not allow anyone else to touch it. Only if Yue Zhong command it, perhaps it might allow others to touch it.

Yao Yao crawled up from the ground. With her face full of soot, she stared daggers at Little Greenie Eagle.

Little Greenie Eagle did not even put Yao Yao in its eyes as it continued to rub its head against Yue Zhong.

After thinking for a while, Yao Yao walked up to Yue Zhong and asked in her little Lolita voice, "Please, can I ride Little Greenie and fly in the sky?", she pleaded.

Yue Zhong looked into Little Greenie's eyes, and Little Green immediately shook its head. It did not like the idea of anyone other than Yue Zhong riding it. Mutant Beasts were way more intelligent than normal animals. Although Little Greenie could not speak, it could understand human speech.

Yue Zhong could only smile at Yao Yao and replied, "It is not willing. I also do not wish to force it."

Yao Yao stared at Yue Zhong, and with a grumpy look, she pouted and exclaimed: "It is just an eagle only. I will definitely catch a bigger and better bird than it in the future!"

Then she ran off and quickly disappeared from Yue Zhong's sight.

Little Greenie also flapped its wings and flew outside, and begun to feed on the corpse of the Mutant Rats. There were several thousand rats, and not all the Mutant Rat corpses had been moved into the vehicles.

After all the food have been moved out Shang Lin County granary, both Yue Zhong's Stone Horse Village and LongHai Survival Camp men also breathe a sigh of relief as they went back to their respective villages.

After Xu Zhenggang returned to the survival camp, he was praised by his superior, Lei Cheng. Lei Cheng had noticed that Xu Zhenggang had less men in his platoon, but he did not even asked about the death toll or injuries among Xu Zhenggang's men. This made Xu Zhenggang feel very upset. Since Lei Cheng did not ask, Xu Zhenggang did not report that some of his men had defected to Yue Zhong's camp.

Big Cliff Village is to the east of Stone Horse Village. Inside the village, there was a small scale steel factory. As well, there were also a lot of enterprises that provided services that compliments the steel factory. e.g. Creating knives from steel produced from the factory etc.

One day, an IVF, 7 Dongfeng Trucks, 5 Jeep vehicles, 5 military jeeps loaded with heavy gun stopped outside Big Cliff Village.

"Alight quickly ! You trashes better come down as fast as you can!"

Under Kong Tianyu's angry roar, from the 7 trucks, about 100 men who were dressed in rags disembarked from the trucks.

Besides each truck were several men who were armed with type 79 assault rifles or type 03 rifles. These guards stared at all the men who dismounted from the truck. There was a flash of contempt in the eyes of the guards.

Several men carrying large number of machetes and shields threw these weapons in front of the 100 men who were dressed in rags.

Although the number of steel workshops in Stone Horse village could not be compare to Big Cliff Village's, it also had a few workshops that produce knifes using the steel from Big Cliff Village. The machetes and shields in front the men in rags were produced from these workshops.

Kong Tianyu chuckled evilly as he stared at the men in rags and shouted. "Listen carefully, you scums! In accordance with the crimes you committed, you should be shot, or beheaded already. But you are lucky that Captain Yue's team not only spared your worthless lives, but also waste precious food on you. He had allowed you to have food to eat and water to drink! Now is the time for you to show your worth! Immediately pick up the machetes and shields in front of you, and follow my orders to kill zombies! Understand?"

After hearing Kong Tianyu's speech, each of these prisoners hesitating pick up a machete and shield from the floor. With the threat of several guns pointing at them, all of these men did not have any power to resist.

These 100 or so men are prisoners from Yue Zhong's camp. Although these prisoners outnumber the number of guards, but compared to the threat of guns, IFV and heavy firearms mounted on 5 jeeps, these men were still powerless to resist their captors even when armed with a shield and machete.

"Come here, you scums!" Under the bellow of Kong Tianyu, the prisoners carrying a shield and machete assembled at a corner waiting for further orders.

The guards quickly spread out with and readied their guns.

Several men also rushed forward, and two large stakes into the ground. Then they tied several lines of wires to the stakes to create a trip wire barrier. This barrier could be used to trip the zombies.

Once the team are ready for combat, Yue Zhong commanded White Bones: "Go and draw these things out."

The eyes of White Bones seem to glow with an eerie light as it walked into the County. White Bone was covered with flesh blood.

Translator notes.

White Bones waved his massive axe, and like a whirlwind of destruction, beheaded zombies near the entrance of the village.

Smelling the blood on White Bones, the zombies in the village began to move. But unlike previous experience where the zombies were led out in manageable waves, the zombies residing in Big Cliff Village's could not be lead out in small groups. Instead, thousands of zombies residing within the town walked out from all directions, and combined together into a massive mob as they charged towards the village entrance.

After killing slightly more than 10 zombies, White Bone was forced to retreat under the mob of zombies.

All these zombies were wearing tatter clothes, and their body had rotted. They shakily walked out of the village towards the men.

Looking at the massive number of zombies that were chasing White Bones, Yue Zhong frown. "Why is there no S level zombies here?"

Usually, the S series type of zombies are much faster than ordinary zombies. In a horde of zombies, the S series type of zombies usually were the first to charge in front. These S series type of zombie were the deadliest zombie, and each of these creatures were of higher threat than normal zombies.

When these zombies were less than 100m away from them, Yue Zhong shouted: "Fire at will!"

Immediately, the sounds of gunfire rang out throughout the area.

Many zombies were immediately killed with a headshot and collapse onto the ground. The zombies behind them trampled on their fallen comrades and continued to advance.

Having actual battle experience is the best training. After many battles and using up countless numbers of bullet, Yue Zhong's team now have about 20 elite marksmen. These marksmen have a 70% chance to use a type 03 rifle to blow apart the head of a zombie from less 100m away.

These elite marksmen were professional soldiers (that had defected to Yue Zhong's camp). They had undergone rigorous military training, and most participants had fought in previous wars to regain Qingyuan City. After the baptism of combat, they adapt very quickly to the battlefield.

The other marksmen's attack were less effective. Other than a head shot, the zombies were unlikely to suffer any damage at all. Although they had hit the zombies, they did not manage to get a head shot.

The horde of zombies pushed forwards as one. The corpses of the zombies that were downed with a headshot did not even slow the charge of the horde of zombies.

The prisoners' face turned pale when they saw the horde of advancing zombies. Although each prisoner is an expert in bullying other men, but they had never personally attack or fought with zombies before.

The massive numbers of zombies gave off a feeling that no matter how many they killed, there will always be more of them. This create a feeling of fear and helplessness among the men.

In the area in front of Yue Zhong, there were several trip wire barriers that were already set up.

As the zombies in the front passed by the trip wire barrier, they tripped onto the ground. The rest of the zombies behind stepped on their comrades' bodies and continued to walk towards Yue Zhong. Under the stampede of thousands of zombies, the ones that tripped were smashed into meat paste.

These trip wire barriers continuously tripped waves after waves of zombie as the zombies in front were tripped and squashed by the subsequent trample of their comrades.

But there were really too many zombies. These trip wire barriers could not hope to stop the zombie horde from advancing.

Seeing the massive group of zombie continuously advancing towards them, all the men felt increasingly pressurised.

Yue Zhong's men coped better in the face of danger. Many of the men had engaged the zombies on multiple occasions. However, the prisoners' face turned white with fear and were uncontrollably shivering. Just the thought that they had to engage the zombies in close combat was enough to frighten them.

When the zombies were just about 30m away from Yue Zhong's group, Yue Zhong shouted out a command "Concentrate your fire!"

In that instant, all the firepower in Yue Zhong army shredded a path of destruction as it cut a swathe through the ranks of zombies. Most of the zombies had fallen onto the ground from the concentrated fire.

The concentrated fire did not last long, as Yue Zhong relayed another command: "Stop!"

Under Yue Zhong's instructions, all the men stopped firing.

Yue Zhong's team has no way to create new bullet, spent bullets could not be reused. With no way of replenishing their supplies, each bullet used will further depreciate their supply of bullets. If they do not learn to conserve bullets, they will soon use up all their bullets.

After the ceasefire order, Yue Zhong was startled to see to that the Village entrance was still filled to the brim with zombies!

From all corners of Big Cliff Village, zombies seemed to continuously crawl out, with no end in sight.

"WTF! Why are there so many zombies?" Yue Zhong was frowning as he looked at the swarm of zombies creeping towards him.

Zombies were usually distributed all over the village. Last time Yue Zhong brought people to raid Stone Horse Village, he would draw about 100 zombies out. Then the team will clear this wave of zombies before drawing out and clearing a second wave of zombie.

In this way, each subsequent waves of zombies are slowly cleared, with minimum danger to his team. But unexpectedly this time, all the zombies in the village were drawn out, and the numbers posed a significant threat to his team.

Other than the zombies that continued to pour out of Big Cliff Village, many of the zombies that were shot from the earlier round of fire also slowly climbed up from the ground again, and shakily made their way towards Yue Zhong's team.

Zombies were impossible to kill with bullets unless they were shot in the head. Unfortunately, most of the bullets hit the zombies in their body. Unlike humans who would be seriously injured by bullets, the zombies seemed to shrug off the bullets as they got up from the ground and continued to advance.

"All close combat team 1 members, follow me!"

Yue Zhong roared an order and led a team of 12 men as they charged into the Zombie horde. Each of these men were clad in Water Python Snakeskin Armor, and wields a Tang Imitation Sword.

If his men were strong enough to fight the battle without his aid, he would be more than happy to direct the battle from behind. This would allow his men to gain even more experience. However, Yue Zhong's team was currently relatively weak. Each of these elite troops were all valuable resources. He must fight alongside them to give them the courage to fight, and in times of crisis, save their lives.

Yue Zhong, White Bones and the close combat team 1 members charged into the group of zombies, beheading a zombie with each strike of the sword.

The close combat team members were all evolvers. Most of them had continuously poured their stats points into strength and stamina, making them unstoppable close-quarters combat (zombie) killing machines. With enhanced strength, each swing of the sword would cleave through a zombie easily and occasionally hit the zombie next to it. With enhanced stamina, these fighters were able to continuously hack apart the zombies without feeling fatigued. In a short span of time, over 100 zombies have been destroyed.

However, the tide of zombies were endless, and no matter how many they killed, there were more to replace these fallen zombies. It was like fighting a hydra. For each zombie that was beheaded, it was replaced by two more of its mates. Over time, even the elite close combat team members began to feel afraid, and helpless. After all, their stamina was limited, while the horde of zombies were never ending.

Translator notes.

"First Combat Team members, retreat!" After killing scores of zombies, Yue Zhong estimated that his team was reaching their limits, and promptly sounded the order to retreat. He had no desire to risk the lives of his men.

From the entrance of the village, more and more zombies emerged. The first combat team members only comprised of 12 men. Even though they were wearing Water Python Snakeskin Armour, they would be killed without a doubt if they were surrounded by the sea of zombies.

These first combat team members were all at least level 7 evolvers. To Yue Zhong, each of these members were invaluable, and he would be heartbroken if even one of these men perished.

After receiving the command, all the men in the first close combat team immediately retreated at the first opportunity.

Yue Zhong and White Bones continued to hold back the tide of zombies to buy time for his men to escape. After ensuring all his men had safety retreated, Yue Zhong and White Bones were also preparing to retreat.

At this moment, suddenly the zombie horde parted to make way for another group of zombies. To Yue Zhong's horror, there were 7 S2 zombies, 8 L2 zombies, 36 S1 zombies, and 43 L1 zombies rushing out towards him!

"Holy Shit! Even the zombies have someone directing them?" Looking at the 100 or so elite zombies charging towards him, he could not help feeling that someone or something was controlling these zombie.

Yue Zhong's suspicions were based on his experience – normal zombies would not attack all at once. Also, the elite zombies seldom grouped together. But seeing the horde of zombies and the elite zombies as acting together as one made him believe that someone or something was controlling these zombie. Over time, he learnt to trust his instincts. His experience with the Mutant Rats was the best example – he believed that the Mutant King Rat was controlling the Mutant Rats, and he was proven right.

Translator notes.

Looking at the horde of elite zombies, Yue Zhong immediately retreated. At the same time, he launched a fireball towards a L2 zombie.

The fireball hit the L2 on its head, and blew it off. The L2 collapsed onto the ground.

As for the 7 S2, if these creatures did not close in on Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong had no way to kill them. They were too fast and Yue Zhong's marksmanship skill was too low shoot them accurately.

As expected, the 7 S2 were the fastest of the lot, and immediately rushed towards Yue Zhong in a zig-zag fashion, and attacked Yue Zhong from all directions. Their speed were insanely fast, and even the expert marksmen from Yue Zhong's team would be unable to accurately aim for them. Compared to the strength enhanced L2 zombies, these s2 were more deadly.

At the same time Yue Zhong was retreating, he shouted, "Little Greenie!"

From the sky, a bolt of green colour lightning struck down and immediately crushed an L2 zombie's head into pieces.

The green colour bolt of lightning was none other than Little Greenie!

With a single strike, it destroyed an L2. Then it flapped its wings and flew upwards. A moment later, it became another bolt of green lightning as it charged towards another L2 and tore the head of the L2 off its body with its sharp claws!

After having evolved, Little Greenie was now able to fully utilize the power of flight. Its claws and beak were extremely sharp, as befitting a level 36 beast. Although the L2 were powerful, it could not withstand a hit from these claws that could rip apart the scales of Water Python. Even though the L2 were monstrous strength enhanced zombies, they could not fly and pose no threat to Little Greenie.

Meanwhile, the 7 S2 quickly caught up with Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong had fought these creatures before and knew that with his current speed, he could not hope to take them on. He immediately activated shadow steps, gaining a large boost to his speed. Then he charged towards a S2 zombie. There were two flashes of light as the S2 and Yue Zhong cross each other. For just a second, both parties stopped moving. A spray of blood erupted from the S2 brain as it collapsed onto the floor, while Yue Zhong stood victorious. In the brief exchange, Yue Zhong had beheaded the S2!

But Yue Zhong had no time to relax. Such is the speed of the S2 that even being stationary for a second was enough for another S2 to launch an attack on Yue Zhong. It claws threaten to rip Yue Zhong into shreds and were just a few centimeters away from him. Suddenly Yue Zhong seemed to disappear into a wisp of smoke, and reappeared behind it. Then there was another flash of light as another S2 was beheaded.

The high-speed fight was almost invisible to the naked eyes of the soldiers – all they could see was a blur of movements and flashes of light as Yue Zhong's sword repeatingly slashed out. With each slash, an S2 zombie would collapse onto the ground, with its brain cleanly sliced open. In the span of a few breaths, the team of 7 S2 were completely annihilated by Yue Zhong!

"Super Strong!!! So impressive!! Kong Tianyu could not help admiring Yue Zhong. In the span of a few seconds, Yue Zhong managed to kill 7 S2 zombie. He was also an evolver, but he could not even take on a single S2 – the speed of S2 zombie was too fast.

"Congratulations on reaching level 32. You have gained 2 points of stats." After killing the 7 S2, Yue Zhong gained massive amount of experience. This was enough for him to advance a level.

"Increase agility, and stamina!" Yue Zhong quickly made his choice. If not for the fact that he had continuously increased his agility, there was no way that he could handle 7 S2 zombies so easily!

Yue Zhong quickly kept the items that the S2 had dropped, and rushed back to his team.

In front of Yue Zhong, there were still numerous S1, L2 and L1 zombies, in addition to countless number of normal zombies. As powerful as Yue Zhong was, if he was surrounded by the never-ending horde of zombies, he would be killed.

"Magic team, attack!" Once Yue Zhong returned to the camp, he immediately shouted out an order.

In raids against the zombies, Yue Zhong would sometimes receive magic skill books. He had passed these magic books to a team of 10 people, and created a team of mages.

These mages include Lu Wen, Guo Yu, Chen Yao etc. After the apocalypse, each of these skills were very valuable. To save on bullets, these mages who could launch only a single spell were also deployed on the battlefield. This will allow the mages to gain experience orbs and evolve.

Each of these mage activated their magic and began chanting their spells. From the air in front of them, several runes appeared, as it gathered the energy to launch the spells.

"Fire at will!" Yue Zhong roared. Although magic was very powerful, but the time required to cast a spell was also relatively long. While the mages were channelling their spells, he also need to stop the zombie horde from getting too close so that the mages will not be distracted.

Once Yue Zhong gave the command, the men immediately let loose their ammunitions as a hail of bullets tore into the ranks of the zombies.

Under the rain of bullets, several S1, L1 and normal zombies were like stringed puppets that had their strings cut, and collapsed onto the floor. However, the L2 was built like a tank, and continued to advance despite the bullet storm. Each bullet that hit the L2 were repelled, and could not even slow its charge, with but one exception. The 12.7 mm heavy machine guns that were mounted on the top of the jeeps were able to penetrate the hide of these creatures.

Each 12.7mm heavy machine guns were able to shred a lightly armoured jeep into pieces, and have great penetrating power. Therefore, it was no surprise that the L2 zombies were unable to cope with the firepower.

"Cease Fire!" Seeing at the group of evolved zombies had been knocked down, Yue Zhong requested a ceasefire.

All the men stopped firing.

After the hail of the bullets stopped, more and more zombies emerged from Big Cliff village.

At the same time, all the evolved zombies that were shot got up again.

These evolved zombies were much tougher than ordinary zombies. Unless you exploded their head, it is impossible to kill them.

Translator notes.

The four surviving L2 immediately got up. With massive strides, they charged towards Yue Zhong.

However, the bullet storm managed to land lucky hits on several evolved zombies with headshots.

At this time, Guo Yu, Lu Wen had already finished chanting their spells. Fireball, Ice cones, Earth Spike etc., all these magic were focused on the evolved zombies, and managed to kill 8 of these creature.

"Close combat groups – Team 2 and Team 3, rush forwards with me!"

With a mighty roar, Yue Zhong led a team of 24 close combat team members into battle with the evolved zombies. Like the close combat team 1, each of these men were wearing Water Python Snakeskin Armor, and wields a Tang Imitation Sword.

Although magic was very powerful, it also had a long cooldown. After launching a single spell, Guo Yu and the mage team were unable to cast anymore spells for that day. Unless they reach level 10 and change their class to a mage, it is unlikely that they could continue to cast more than a single spell each day.

The evolved zombies clashed with Yue Zhong and his team of 24 men.

Like an arrow, Yue Zhong sped towards a L2 zombie, and pointed a stinger gun at the head of this creature. Then he pulled the trigger.

With a "Bang" sound, the L2's head was decorated with a new hole, and it collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

A mighty fist threatened to crush Yue Zhong into pieces as another L2 discovered his presence, and raised his fist to smash Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong easily dodged the L2's fist as he stepped forward, pointed his stinger at the lower jaws of the L2, and busted its head apart.

In the sky, Little Greenie swooped down, and in a single swipe, managed to decapitate a L2 in each claw. Two L2 lifelessly collapsed as their heads were ripped off their body.

The 24 elite close combat team members were engaged in a fierce battle with the L1 and the S1.

In the chaos that followed, some close combat team members were sent flying with each swing of an L1 fists. And some close combat team members were scratched by the claws of the high speed S1. But many L1 and S1 were also killed by the close combat team members.

"F*k! Go and die!"

Kong Tianyu activated his skill [Enhanced strength, and with a single swing of the Tang Imitation Blade in his hand, he managed to lop off the head of a mighty L1 zombie.

But he had no time to relax as a S1 immediately clawed at his left shoulder as soon as the L1 zombie was dispatched.

"Damn f*king bastard! Go and die!" With a sinister smile, his blade immediately separated the S1's head from its body.

The Water Python snakeskin armour protected him from the claws of the S1. Unless the S1 landed a hit on his head, it could not hurt Kong Tianyu.

But in comparison to the S1, the L1 were of a much deadlier threat. Many close combat team members were sent flying by the L1.

Under the might of his herculean strength, Kong Tianyu was able to kill even L1 zombies with a single swing of his blade. Therefore he was unafraid and charged towards the other evolved zombies.

The rest of the team found that dealing with S1 zombie were relatively easy. They could use their body as a bait to draw these creatures closer before taking a swipe at them. With their Water Python Snakeskin armour, the claws of the S1 could not even scratch them.

But the L1 were a totally different story. They need to repeatedly hack at the L1 multiple times before they could lop off a single L1's head. In addition, the L1 attacks were very powerful and sent men flying with each hit.

Many team members managed to land a hit on the L1 heads, but they were left open to the L1's retaliation strike, and was seriously injured. If not for the Water Python Snakeskin Armour absorbing a massive portion of the impact, these men would have immediately perished.

But once the level 2 evolved zombie had been cleared, Yue Zhong, White Bones and Little Greenie turned their attention to the level 1 zombies. Under their combine attacks, the evolved zombies were quickly clear out. 5 of Yue Zhong's team members were injured by the L1 zombies and could no longer participate in this battle.

These evolved zombies were not so easy to dealt with. Each evolved zombies had extraordinary abilities, especially the S series zombies. If not for the Water Python Snakeskin Armour that protected the close combat team from the S series zombie's strikes, more than half of the men would already been infected with the zombie virus. But under the protection of the superior armour, only five men were injured.

"Retreat!"

After destroying the evolved zombies, Yue Zhong kept some of the items that were dropped by the evolved zombies in his spatial ring. Then he led the two close-combat teams to retreat from the zombie horde.

Little Greenie stood unchallenged in the sky, as it picked apart zombies at it's leisure. From time to time it would swoop down and crush a zombie. Before any zombies could fight back, it was long gone, having flew out of reach of the flightless zombies. Not a single zombie could withstand its attack nor could these zombie touch a feather on its body.

Although the elite zombies had been destroyed, the ordinary zombies continued to stream out of every nook and cranny of Big Cliff Village.

At first, it was a river of zombies as the streams of zombies merged together and filled a street with zombie. The rivers of zombies merged together on the main road to form a massive sea of zombies over 5000 strong.

After all the efforts that Yue Zhong and his team had expended, they had only managed to kill 600 zombies, a little more than a 1/10th of the zombie throng that were shuffling towards them.

Although the route to Yue Zhong's camp were littered with the corpses of countless zombies, but the sea of zombies seemed to shrug off the loss of their kind as they continued to advance towards Yue Zhong's camp. Seeing so many zombies created immense pressure on the team.

This was the first time that many of Yue Zhong's team members had seen such a massive number of zombies, and they were shaken. In the last encounter with zombies, Yue Zhong was able lead the zombie out in groups of 100s, making the task much easier. But with 5000 zombies walking shakily towards them, they could not help but tremble in fright.

Having to fight 5000s of zombie and 100 zombies were two different issues. In battles with groups of 100 zombies, they could afford to take a rest between fights. But in a tide of 5000s zombies, the waves of zombies were unending, and there is no respite for these men.

The elite marksmen in Yue Zhong's team had never stopped firing. Each hit would accurately blew apart a zombie's head. Although many zombies had fallen, it had no impact on stopping the mass of zombies from advancing forward. The zombies behind would step on the corpses of the fallen and continued to advance, slowly but steadily.

Looking at the sea of zombies approaching them, Ye Zhong was alarmed and he thought"Looks like this time we will suffer a big loss!"

Seeing the hordes of zombies unceasingly getting closer and closer, Yue Zhong immediately commanded: "All teams, fire at will!"

Following Yue Zhong's order, all his men let their guns ripped. Torrents of bullet washed into the sea of zombies.

Under the scythe of the bullets, many of zombies that were at the foremost of the zombie tide were cut down.

But the number of zombies were immeasurable, and the zombies were without fear. They continued to advance, regardless of their lives or the number of zombies that were scythed down by the bullet storm. Some of the fallen zombies picked themselves up from the ground.

Yue Zhong's team was also expending their ammo at a very rapid pace.

The sea of zombie at the back of the tide seemed to slam into an invisible wall of bullets as they advanced, and were scythed down. In this way, a number of these zombies were temporary held back, and created a zone of fallen zombies in the front.

Looking at the carnage, Yue Zhong commanded: "Stop firing! All the prisoner team advance!"

Yue Zhong must let his team conserve stamina, so that they have the ability to continue to fight or retreat. Using the prisoners at this team will buy his team some time to regain their diminishing stamina.

These prisoners shook uncontrollably and dared not advance.

Kong Tainyu angrily shook his fists at the prisoners and shouted, "Damn you bastards! You shitheads better rush forward! Otherwise I will kill you with my own hands!"

The other men in the camp also pointed their guns at the prisoners. Their eyes were cold and devoid of emotion. If these prisoners dared not to obey the orders or attempt to flee, they will gun these prisoners down in cold blood.

"I will count to 3, if you don't rush forwards by the count of 3, then do not blame me for opening fire!"

"3！"

"2！"

"1！"

Kong Tianyu's eyes were cold as he looked at the prisoners who refused to budge. He stepped forward and with a swing of his sword, he beheaded one prisoner. A spray of blood splattered onto the faces of some of the horrified prisoners. Then he looked into the eyes of the rest of the prisoners and bellowed "Charge out!! Go now!!"

Looking at the fierce look in Kong Tianyu's eyes, the prisoners also turned frightened. Nobody doubted that if they do not charge at the zombies, they would be killed immediately. Under the threat of death, these prisoners had no choice but to rush forwards. Perhaps Yue Zhong would let live if they kill enough zombies. But staying here would definitely result in their death.

"Wagghhhhh..!!!" As if this warcry of the prisoners gifted them with courage, they charged towards the zombies. One of the prisoners chopped down on a zombie that was struggling to get up, and with a swing, he chopped off its head.

These ordinary zombies were very slow, and their bones were very brittle. Even an ordinary wooden club as granted by the [System] could smash apart these zombies. Therefore the steel machetes were highly effective in decapitating the zombies.

Although most of the prisoners fiercely fought against the zombies, there were some prisoners who were frightened out of their wits and tried to run away.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of two gunshots rang out, and the prisoners who tried to ran away were gunned down.

Kong Tianyu shouted out "All who try to run will be shot without exception!"

Since they will definitely be killed if they try to run, the prisoners continued to hack at the zombies until their eyes turned red from bloodlust. They could only hope that if they killed enough number of zombies, they would be allowed to live.

The number of prisoners were not small. There was close to a hundred prisoners. As long as they overcame their fear, these normal zombies that were slowly climbing up from the bullet storm were not a match for these desperate men. The prisoners frenzied attacks were highly effectively as numerous zombies fell to the machetes of these men.

One of the prisoners was a massive 1.9m tall man. Armed with a machete, his performance was extremely outstanding as he chopped down like a fierce tiger on the zombies in front of him. While most prisoners only hacked apart two or three zombies, he had killed over 5 zombies.

"Let these men retreat!" After ensuring that each of these prisoners had at least killed one or more zombies, Yue Zhong then issued a command to Kong Tianyu.

Under the [system, men had limited stamina. Each kill would deplete their current stamina. Having killed a few zombies, their stamina had dropped a lot. If these prisoners had continued to battle, all these prisoners would be wiped out.

After the apocalypse, each men were also valuable resources. Men are not solitary creatures. No matter how powerful a man was, there was a limit to how much he could do alone. Men could only survive this apocalypse if they worked together. These prisoners are all men with able bodies. Although they had committed crimes against humanity by engaging in torture, rape, murder or cannibalism, Yue Zhong had no intent to waste their lives.

Report chapter

Kong Tianyu shouted in a very loud voice! "All you scums! Retreat!"

Listening to the order to retreat, these prisoners discarded their shields and machetes as they ran back with all their speed. The shields were quite heavy and discarding them would enable them to run faster. In this short period of time, they had killed 300 zombies. Each man's stamina had dropped significantly.

Their bloodlust had also withdrawn as they focused all their efforts on running. Earlier, they did not have a choice – it was either to kill the zombies or be killed by their captors. Therefore they gambled their lives on killing as many zombies as possible and had a bloodlust. But now that they were given a chance to retreat, naturally they would choose to flee, and hold back their bloodlust.

Kong Tianyu roared a command at the group of prisoners "All of you put your hands behind your head and squat down immediately! I will shoot all those that dared to run!"

If the men ran in a disorganised manner, they could escape or in the worst case, rush into Yue Zhong's camp and to spread confusion and chaos. With the zombies attacking them, Yue Zhong can not afford to have confusion and chaos in his camp.

Under gunpoint, all the prisoners ran towards the area that Kong Tianyu had designated and put their hands behind their heads and squatted down.

3 of the close combat team members quickly examined the prisoners, and dragged out 23 prisoners who were injured in the battle with zombies. They shot these prisoners at point blank.

The sounds of gunfire and the deaths of their comrades made the prisoners trembled in fear, and they dare not move a muscle and as they looked downward and behaved.

Individually, normal zombies are not that scary. Their strongest threat to man-kind is the zombie virus. These creatures are extremely slow and are only dangerous in overwhelming numbers. In the short skirmish, none of the prisoners were eaten alive by the zombies.

However, there were approximately of the prisoners who were scratched or bitten by the zombies, and infected by the zombie virus. Since there is no cure for the zombie virus, Yue Zhong sent his men to kill these infected men. He did not want any prisoners to turn into a zombie and infect other prisoners.

"All close combat teams, follow me!" Looking at the zombie horde that persistently creeped forward no matter how many times he mowed them down with gunfire, Yue Zhong finally lost his patience and gave the order for all his close combat teams to attack. The close combat teams' members were more effective in killing zombies than gunfire.

All the close combat teams' members followed behind Yue Zhong as they charged towards the zombies.

In the team of close combat personnel, not all of these men are equipped with Tang Imitation Sword. Yue Zhong do not have enough swords to equip each man with a sword. Therefore some of these men also use the machetes. These machetes also easily cleaved apart the zombies, and the only disadvantage of using a machete compared to Tang Imitation sword was that any zombies that were killed by a machete do not give its killer any experience orbs.

These close combat team members hacked at the zombie in a mad frenzy.

Yue Zhong and White Bones led the charge, and cut down several zombies with each swing of their weapon.

These close combat forces then engaged the zombies. The close combat forces team were comprised of evolvers who had killed scores of zombies before. Ordinary zombies have no way to bite nor scratch through the Water Python Snakeskin armour that the close combat forces were wearing. These zombies are also relatively slow. As long as a close combat team member took care not to be surrounded by zombies and retreated before his escape route is cut off, the close combat team member is not in any danger. But the same can not be said for the zombies. Each hack with the sword or machete will kill at least one zombie without fail.

Meanwhile the elite marksmen continued to burn their bullet supply as they continuously dropped zombies with each headshot.

With the aid of a team of about 50 men, Yue Zhong's group finally managed to whittle down the number of zombies to a more manageable number. But each close combat team member seemed to be drained of stamina, as they were breathing heavily from just the effort of standing up.

Only Yue Zhong and White Bones have the strength to continue to kill the zombies as the close combat team members are exhausted. But the few dozens of remaining zombies should pose no threat to either Yue Zhong or White Bones.

As he cut down the last of the remaining zombies, Yue Zhong breathed a sigh of relief "Finally we won!"

These zombies might be level 1 creatures, and are weak. But there were over 5000 zombies. Even after several rounds of concentrated fire, the number of zombies remaining were still over 1000 strong. The team of close combat fighters had managed to finish off these 1000 zombies, however their stamina had depleted to a very critical level – they were unable to continue to fight until their stamina had recovered somewhat. The group of 50 close combat fighters were way too small in number to deal with the massive number of zombies.

"This time, I had really underestimated the enemy." Thought Yue Zhong as he stared at his men who were perspiring heavily and panting.

This time, Yue Zhong had only brought of his troops to attack Big Cliff Village. This was because having experienced the last clearing of villages, Yue Zhong thought that these men were more than enough to clear Big Cliff Village, and at the same time, increase the experience of his men. But he did not anticipate that there was a zombie controller in this village. If not for the fact that Yue Zhong had evolved many times, this raid would have ended up as a massive failure.

"What the f*k is controlling these zombies?"

Yue Zhong is suspicious and curious about the controller of zombies. He headed out alone with White Bones towards the village.

Yue Zhong had evolved much more than his regular troops and frequently allocated points to increase his stamina. As long as he did not continuously use his active skills, his stamina would not deplete so quickly. Therefore, although his men could barely move, he was not tired at all.

The town of Big Cliff Village was practically empty. Also there was a trace of dark coloured blood at various places, but there were no more zombies inside the town.

"It seemed that I was right! There is something or someone controlling these zombies!" Yue Zhong looked at the empty and silence town, and he frowned.

In the last raid against Stone Horse Village, although the zombies were drew out in waves of about 100 zombies, but the centre of the village had a massive number of zombies. But this town centre did not even have a single zombie. This means that someone or something had controlled all the zombies in this town and forced these zombies to attack Yue Zhong's team.

Having a mysterious zombie controller is not a good thing for Yue Zhong's team.

If there was something or someone controlling these zombies, than Lei Jiang City (its name means Thunder River City) with its population of 100,000 zombies would be invincible as there was nothing that could stop this massive army.

Although the strength of the men in Yue Zhong's team were much stronger than the time when he raided Stone Horse village, but the ammunition spent in this raid was several times the ammo used to capture Stone Horse village. As well, each member of his team were more exhausted compared to the time they raided Stone Horse village. A 100,000 zombie army was a very fearsome number. How much more ammo would they need to repel just a fraction of this army.

Therefore, this zombie controller must die! It must not be permitted to escape into Lei Jiang City.

Yue Zhong could not see any activity from the street where he currently was in. Therefore he activated his combine armour defense skill and merged with White Bones. He launched a bone spike onto the ground, and used a bone ladder created from the bone spike to climb onto the rooftop of a supermarket.

Standing at the top of the supermarket, he had an unobstructed view of the scenery and surrounding landscapes. Although he did not have the "1000 li eyes" ability that would allow him to see as far as 500 km, but his vision is relatively good. Somehow being an evolver had increased the range of his vision.

At the East side of the village, Yue Zhong saw there were eight L2 and seven S2 zombies that were grouped together and fleeing towards the East side of the city, as if they were protecting someone important.

Yue Zhong fired another bone spike into the ground and created another bone ladder to bring him safety back to the ground level.

Once he landed on the ground, he immediately speed up and sprinted towards the direction where he had seen the group of zombies.

Yue Zhong had spent a lot of points of his stats on agility. As well, he is wearing various agility enhancing items. The L2 might be strong, but they are relatively slow. Although the S2 are very fast, these creatures were guarding something. Therefore the whole group moved at the speed of the slowest member, the L2. With Yue Zhong speed, he quickly caught up to the group of fifteen evolved zombies.

Once he had caught up with the zombie bodyguards, Yue Zhong was able to see clearly that in the middle of the group of elite zombies, there is single grey colour zombie. This zombie is relatively small. Its limbs are very short, but its head is relatively big for its body. Its eyes are very long, and its mouth are very big and filled with sharp teeth. It sits on top of a massive L2 zombie as a man would sit on top of a horse.

"Level 40 intelligence-enhanced zombie variant: Type I Commander Z1"

As soon as the Commander Z1 zombie saw Yue Zhong, it uttered a sharp cry. The L2 that was carrying it seemed to increase its speed as the group fled.

However, not all of these zombies fled. Like a ghost, three S2 zombies rapidly drifted towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong smiled at the three incoming S2 zombies. Then he suddenly accelerated and sprinted with all his might. He seemed to become a bolt of lightning as he charged towards the Commander Z1 zombie.

As he passed by the incoming S2 zombies, there was a flash of light. Then he continued to chase after the Z1 zombie at full speed, ignoring the S2 zombies. Shortly after, the bodies of the three S2 zombies collapsed lifelessly onto the ground. The scariest thing about these corpses was that each of the corpses had no head. Then, as if answering the question of what had happened to the heads of these zombies, the heads landed a short distance away from their bodies. In the short period of time that the two parties had charged past each other, Yue Zhong had cleanly lopped off the heads of the three S2 zombies!

Looking at the ease with which Yue Zhong had dispatched its guards, the Z1 began to panic. It cried out a call of distress. Following its cries, three massive L2 zombies turned away from the group and charged toward Yue Zhong.

Each of these L2 zombies could withstand massive amounts of punishment before collapsing in permanent death. Their rock hard muscles were capable of repelling most ordinary swords and bullets. Even Yue Zhong found it very difficult to use the Tang Imitation Sword to hack apart a single L2 zombie's head. These three L2 zombies were indeed, very formidable opponents for Yue Zhong. Luckily for Yue Zhong, although these creatures were very tough, they were relatively slow compared to him.

Looking at the three L2 zombies smashing apart anything in their way as they charged towards Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong began to frown. He immediately activated his skill Devil Fire. In his right hand, an orb of devilish-red coloured fire that could burn anything into ashes was formed.

Taking advantage of his speed, he ran in front of a hulking L2 zombie. Before the zombie could react to him, Yue Zhong had already launched the orb of Devil Fire in his hands towards the head of the zombie. The Devil Fire was truly worthy of its name, as even the powerful and extremely tough L2 zombie's head was burnt into ashes.

The power of the Devil Flame skill depended on Yue Zhong's Spiritual Power, Stamina, Strength, and Vitality at the time of casting the skill. The stronger these four attributes were, the stronger the power of the Devil Flame.

However, if Yue Zhong wanted to increase the power of the Devil Flame further, he could sacrifice more Spiritual Power and Stamina to do so.

Similarly, Ice King Zhang Yun was able to take advantage of this loophole to create a wall that was able to withstand the might of a 12.7 heavy machine gun. Normally his ice wall could not last even a few rounds of bullets. But by expending a massive amount of stamina and spiritual power, Ice King Zhang Yun was able to strengthen his Ice Wall.

By using the Devil Flame, Yue Zhong was able to one-shot kill an abomination L2 zombie. But this kill came at a cost to him. He had expended 2 points of spiritual power and 2 points of stamina to do so. He had already tried to minimise the usage of Devil Flame by using it only to burn the head of the L2 zombie, instead of using it to burn the entire L2.

"Looks like I will also need to increase my spiritual power.", thought Yue Zhong

Yue Zhong's body seemed to flicker as he temporarily disappeared, and reappeared in front of one of the two surviving L2 zombies.. With a Devil Flame in his hand, he burned the head of the creature into ashes. Then he repeated his movements and dispatched the last L2 zombie that charged towards him.

Although he had managed to destroy three L2 zombies, he had squandered 6 points of spiritual power and stamina to do so.

After obliterating the three L2 zombies, Yue Zhong had rushed in front of the group of the bodyguards. With a stinger gun in hand, he pointed the weapon at the Z1 zombie and pulled the trigger.

At that exact moment when Yue Zhong was aiming towards the Z1 zombie, the Z1 zombie dropped down from the body of the massive L2.

As well, three S2 zombie appeared out of nowhere and used their bodies to block the bullet. The stinger gun blew apart the shoulders of an S2 zombie.

Having missed his shot because of the interferences of the S2 zombies, Yue Zhong refused to give up. He stepped forward and attempted to chase the Z1 zombie. With a Tang Imitation Sword in his left hand, he beheaded an S2 zombie that was blocking his way. But he was greeted with the sight of a powerful fist smashing down towards him as an L2 zombie attacked him. One usage of Devil Flame later, the L2 zombie's massive body collapsed lifelessly onto the ground as its head was burned into ashes.

The Z1 commander zombie's eyes turned bloodshot at the carnage Yue Zhong was wreaking on its forces. It stared at Yue Zhong with eyes filled with unbridled fury. Then it focused and launched a mental attack at Yue Zhong.

A wave of spiritual power discharged towards Yue Zhong. At this exact moment, Yue Zhong was blocked by an S2 zombie and an L2 zombie from advancing any further. The spiritual power hit the S2 and L2 head on, and their head exploded from the impact of the spiritual attack.

Although the two zombies in front of Yue Zhong borne the blunt of the attack, Yue Zhong was also not spared from this powerful attack. He felt as if his head was hit by a baseball bat. His world spun in circles, and he could have sworn that he saw stars circling around his head. He could not maintain his balance, and collapsed onto the ground.

The mind blast attack is an area of effect (AOE) spell, that does not distinguish friend from foe. It directly blew apart the brains of the zombies near Yue Zhong, and almost knocked Yue Zhong unconscious with a single blast.

Seeing that Yue Zhong had fallen, three S2 zombies immediately rush up towards Yue Zhong, intending to finish him off. Three massive L2 also began to walk towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong was shaken, and his vision was blurry. He seemed to see double or triple of everything. He bit down hard on his lips, until he was bleeding. The pain seemed to jolt his brain into working again as his survival instincts kicked in. Finally he regained control of his body. His first action was to rapidly retreat!

Yue Zhong believed that the mind blast had a limited range. If not, Yue Zhong would have already been hit with the attack from afar, rendering him unable to fight the first group of three S2 zombies that charged towards him.

From the sky, Little Greenie become a ray of green light as it charge down towards the zombies. A mighty swipe of its claw separated the head of an L2 zombie from its body.

Yue Zhong was still feeling a bit groggy from the mental attack and was not as fast as before. The group of three S2 zombies were able to rapidly close in on Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong tried his best to focus, and calm his mind. At that instant when the three S2 closed in on him with their terrible claws swiping at his head, three bone spikes were launched from his bone armour, and directly penetrated through the heads of the three S2 zombies.

Their claws was but a few centimetres away from Yue Zhong's head, when they lifelessly collapsed onto the ground.

Yue Zhong was able to withstand the impact of the mind blast only because he had strong spiritual power. This ability was further augmented when he equipped several items that enhanced his spiritual powers. For instance, the white jade ring he had taken from the corpse of Ice King Zhang Yun had provided a massive increase of 6 points of spiritual power. Hence, he was able to partially resist the power of the mind blast.

Although the mind blast attack had not blown apart his head, it still managed to make him feel highly disoriented and dizzy. He had managed to shake off most of the effects of the mind blast, and his condition had improved somewhat.

After killing the group of S2, Yue Zhong stepped forward and pat his hands on the head of an L2. He was intending to use his Devil Fire to burn the brain of the L2 into ashes. But suddenly he felt a massive headache, and his spiritual power seem to be drained and unstable. The Devil Flame did not appear.

(note: I used Devil Fire and Devil Flame interchangeably)

The L2 raised both its fist and smashed down towards Yue Zhong.

Like a gust of wind, Little Greenie appeared behind the L2 zombie. With its mighty claws, it lifted the L2 zombie off the ground as it flew upwards. Then it flew downwards rapidly and sent the L2 Zombie smashing headfirst against the concrete floor. The poor L2 zombie's head and its upper body turned into a spectacular display of bloodletting as the floor around it shook from the impact.

Yue Zhong had no time to worry about Little Greenie. There was still two more L2 zombies that were charging towards him. He used his superior speed to apply behind one of the L2 zombies. With the stinger gun in his hands, he blew apart the brains of this L2 zombie.

The last L2 zombie suddenly did something very surprising: It turned and tried to run. Normally L2 zombies were without fear. Perhaps this L2 zombie was trying to rush back to carry the Z1 commander zombie away to safety instead of fighting. But how could Yue Zhong let such a good opportunity slipped by? He pointed his stinger gun at the back of this zombie and fired 3 stinger bullets.

Each stinger bullet had explosive penetrating power. The bullets tore through the back muscles and bones of the L2 and blew apart its brains. The L2 zombie collapsed in a pool of blood.

But when Yue Zhong saw the shadow of the Z1 zombie leaping off from the L2 zombie arms at the exact moment he fired the stinger bullets, he understood why the L2 had ran instead of fighting him. For some strange reasons, all the commanders he had met so far were cowardly in nature. This include the Z1 commander zombie, and the Mutant King Rat.

Although the Z1 zombie had very short limbs, it speed was not slow at all as it scrambled off to safety.

If the Z1 zombie had chosen to fight and launch another mind blast, Yue Zhong would be in trouble. But for some strange reason, the Z1 zombie had chosen to run and exposed its back to Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong had no qualms about killing an enemy from the back. In fact, there was nothing he liked better. He grinned and activated Ice Cone spell from his white jade ring.

Runes appear from the air around Yue Zhong and a cone of ice flew towards the Z1 commander zombie. It tore a massive hole in the Z1 commander's body and proceeded to encase the body in a block of ice.

A massive globe of experience flew from its body toward Yue Zhong.

"Congratulations! You have advanced to level 33 and have gained 2 stats points."

"Put all the stats points into Spiritual Power" groaned Yue Zhong as he rubbed his head. He was having a spitting headache.

Once he made his choice, he could feel some spiritual power entering into his body. His fluctuating spiritual power seemed to be stabilised somewhat.

Report chapter

Yue Zhong walked up the corpse of the Z1, and found that the Z1 zombie had dropped several items: A skill book, a green coloured treasure box and 200 [System] coins

"Level 3 skill book: Spiritual Solidification. This skill is a passive skill. After learning this skill your spiritual power will permanently increase by 10."

Yue Zhong immediately opted to learn this skill.

Instantly, in Yue Zhong's brain, there appears a new rune. Once this new rune appeared, Yue Zhong's headache seemed to magically disappear. The mild feeling of disorientation he had as a result of the mind blast also completely vanished.

Looking at the massive head of this Z1 zombie, Yue Zhong took out his Tang Imitation sword and chopped off its brains. He tried to examine if there were any blood coloured beads or crystals inside it.

Just as Yue Zhong was checking the corpse, Little Greenie flew down, and with a peck, begins to eat the zombie with relish. After several big gulps, it quickly swallowed the entire zombie.

"There is no evolution this time?"

Seeing that Little Greenie had not evolved, he was feeling quite disappointed.

He opened the green treasure box, and BINGO!

"Level 3 Treasure: Power Gloves. 10 to strength on equip."

On the route back to the camp, he kept all the items that the elite zombies had dropped into his spatial ring.

Once the Z1 zombie had been killed, the entire town had no further threats. Yue Zhong's men had also entered into Big Cliff village, and had began to look for survivors,

While his men were busying searching for survival, Yue Zhong was greedily looking at the spoils of this battle.

This time, the numbers of evolved zombies were relatively high. Therefore the rewards were also much higher. Yue Zhong had managed to collect 63 white colour treasure box, 3 green colour treasure box and 6 skill books.

After opening all the treasure boxes, Yue Zhong found that he had 3 pairs of Level 1 strength enhancing shoes, 32 Tang Imitation Swords, 1 complete set of Level 1 protective vest, 1 set of Level 2 protective vest, 3 pairs of white colour gloves, 1 Level 2 Tang Sabre, 1 Level 2 wand.

As well, the seven skill books include Level 1 fireball, Level 2 strength boost, Level 1 Ice Cone, Level 1 Minor Healing, Level 2 high speed movement skill, level 1 accelerate skill.

"Level 2 Treasure: Tang Sabre. This sabre is much sharper and more resilient than the Tang Imitation Sword"

"Level 2 Treasure: Inferior Wand. With the aid of the wand, spells that take more than 15 seconds to cast may save 1 second off the casting time.

"Level 1 accelerate skill: Using this skill will consume 5 points of stamina. After using this skill, the agility will be increased by 10 points for 30 seconds."

Looking at the 32 sets of Tang Imitation Swords, Yue Zhong was very happy. "With this I can create another 3 teams of close combat evolvers!" he thought.

Each evolver's combat powers and stamina is way stronger than normal humans. With strict training and more combat experience, it is very easy to create a team of special elite troops.

Most of the white colour treasure boxes that were dropped by ordinary zombies were empty. The drops were mostly taken from white colour treasure box dropped by evolved zombies. Big Cliff village had a much larger number of evolved zombies than Stone Horse village. As a result, the number of treasure box that were dropped was much more than that of Stone Horse village.

Having a new Tang Sabre, Yue Zhong can finally let go of his Tang Imitation Sword.

Although the Tang Imitation Sword were effective against normal zombies, it was ineffective against creatures with high armour such the Snake Mutant Beasts or L2 zombies. If not for the fact that Yue Zhong had invested some points into strength, it would not be so easy for Yue Zhong to kill the S2 zombies.

With each successive evolution, the zombies not only increase in their primary stat. Their skin and bones also harden, making them tougher to fight. The S2 zombies may not be comparable to an L2 zombie in terms of toughness, but these S2 zombies are almost as tough as an L1. If Yue Zhong had insufficient strength to behead an S2 zombie with a single hit, the battle against these zombies would be much harder.

While Yue Zhong was busy looking into the spoils of war, the troops that rushed into Big Cliff village had discovered many survivors. Almost all of these survivors were starving. The village that used to have more than 5000 people had been reduced to less than 400 survivors!

Of course, there were cannibals among the survivors who preyed on other humans. These cannibals were shot by Yue Zhong's men. For those who had commit other crimes against their fellow men, they were dragged towards the prisoner camp.

The prisoner camp suddenly had 53 more prisoners. After considering the death toll from earlier, the total number of prisoners had a net gain of 20 new prisoners.

Big Cliff village had a steel factory. At the same time, there were many enterprises that use the steel from the factory to produce other items. Before the apocalypse, the steel factory and the coal power plant had massive amount of coal in their reserves. If there were sufficient men, it would be possible to restart the factory.

During this time, Yue Zhong had repeatedly recruited men from Longhai Survival Camp. In addition, he had assigned men to find survivors from the surrounding area. If you include this group of survivors from Big Cliff Village, he finally had close to 3,000 men under his command!

After he had taken control of Big Cliff village, Yue Zhong sent 1,000 of his citizens from Stone Horse Village into Big Cliff Village. He began to process steel, and used this steel to create more items that he deemed were useful, such as machetes, steel shields, barbed wires, sharp iron staffs etc.

The amount of steel remaining in Stone Horse Village was very little. Creating 100 steel shields and machetes had already used up a majority of the steel in Stone Horse Village. Therefore, Yue Zhong could only let his men create these primitive weapons and armors to arm the prisoners.. Therefore, capturing the steel factory was of paramount importance in the eyes of Yue Zhong.

A construction site in Big Cliff Village had been surrounded with barbed wire. In this place, various clothes had been placed on the ground. These clothes are the bed for the prisoners who were held in Big Cliff Village.

There were 10 sentries keeping watch over the prisoner camp. If these prisoners try to talk to each other or try to escape, these guards were authorised to shoot and kill these prisoners.

In this prisoner camp, a group of men clustered together as they complained about the harshness of the camp.

"Damn it! Big Brother Gao, these men are really too much! This time we went out and fought, 20 men died. If this continues on, all of us will die." A short, skinny man was complaining to the massive 1.9m tall giant man besides him.

The tall giant just stared at the short, skinny man. With a voice as cold enough to freeze the surrounding air, he rebuked: "Nanlan Mingzhu [Pearl Nanlan]! Shut up! You know the predicament we are currently in! If the top brass hears what you have just said, you and I will be shot on sight!"

The big prisoner is named Gao Daqiang (Strongman Gao). Before the apocalypse, he was a farmer. After the apocalypse, he drifted along and worked for Bi Caishan. As a man working under Bi Caishan, he had also committed several crimes. After Yue Zhong destroyed Bi Caishan, he was sent to the prisoner camp.

Listening to Strongman Gao, Pearl Nalan began to shiver and seemed to shrink smaller as he hugged himself and curled up. He carefully looked around at the guards surrounding the camp, and his eyes shown traces of fear.

Report chapter

In Yue Zhong's base, the prisoners do not have any human rights at all. If the words of Pearl Nalan reached the ears of the Guards, even if the Guards shot him immediately, no one will say a single word.

These prisoners also have no power to object to this treatment. If they try to revolt, the type 79 assault rifles of the guards are more than enough to kill them all.

In addition, there were two heavy machine guns mounted on vehicles that were pointed at the group of prisoners.

Pearl Nalan had a stupid grin on his face as he tried to brush what he said away, "It is a careless rant!"

"Who is Strongman Gao?" a guard walked into the camp and shouted out aloud.

All the prisoners' eyes turned to look at Strongman Gao.

Many of the prisoners who were sitting next to Strongman Gao also shifted their body as they tried to put as much distance between them and Strongman Gao as possible. Although his face turned white with fright, Pearl Nalan continued to sit next to Strongman Gao.

Strongman Gao also turned pale. He clutched his fist and slowly stood up. He was perspiring heavily, as he declared. "Me! I am Strongman Gao."

To these prisoners, having their name called out is not a good thing. Not long ago, there were twenty plus men who were called out, and these men were all shot dead in front of the other prisoners.

The soldier looked at his journal and shouted: "Today, Strongman Gao has shown his courage in battle, and killed 7 zombies by himself. From now on, he is promoted to be a squad captain among you prisoners. The following prisoners are assigned to his squad with immediate effect: "Pearl Nalan, Tiger Wang… etc.

As a squad leader, for the period of 1 week, he will be given a piece of fish every day. We hope that he can quickly kill 30 zombies, and win back his freedom."

Pearl Nalan's eyes shone with happiness for his friend, as he congratulated Strongman Gao.

"Big Boss Gao! Please take care of me!"….

The 12 men assigned under his command all came forwards to offer their congratulations. From now onwards, he will be in charge of them.

Strongman Gao was stunned by the announcement and could not believe his ears. But listening to the stream of congratulatory messages from his team woke him up from his stupor. He immediately thanked the soldier. "Thank you! Thank you!!"

The soldier smiled and looked at Strongman Gao with eyes that were much warmer than the cool looks of the guards. "There is no need to thank me. I am just here to carry out Captain Yue's orders!"

The soldier continued to list out the names of prisoners who shown promise in fighting zombies, and promoted 10 prisoners into squad leaders, and assigned team members to each squad leaders. All of these squad leaders gained the right to have 1 fish everyday as a reward for their bravery.

After announcing all the rewards, the soldier waved his hand, and several men pushed a trolley of food into the prisoner's camp. In the food tray, in addition to rice and buns, there were several pieces of fish.

All of the prisoners looked at the fish, and their saliva dripped uncontrollably out from their mouths.

After the apocalypse, food becomes scarce. Only the top brass in LongHai city could afford to have a fish to eat. Most of the prisoners have not even taste meat after the apocalypse. Today, when they saw the freshly cooked fish and the nice aroma that accompanied the dish, their mouths could not stop watering, and they could not help staring hungrily at the fishes.

The soldier then shouted coldly, "All of you, come and get your food! You are not allowed to make any noise, and you are not allowed to jump the queue. If anyone is caught infringing these rules, you will be given 20 lashes of the whip, and double the usual workload!

After listening to the soldier's words, the prisoners all behaved themselves. They queued up in an orderly manner to get their food. The behaviour of these prisoners was much better than their behaviour before the apocalypse.

Strongman Gao gathered a big bun, a bowl of porridge, and a steamed carp and returned to his seat.

Along the way, Strongman Gao could sense all the hungry looks of the other prisoners as they glanced at his fish. If not for the fact that there were guards manning the camp, and that he is relatively big and fierce compared to most of the men, there would be a lot of people who will attempt to snatch his fish.

Pearl Nalan took a bowl of porridge and a bun, and sat next to Strongman Gao. Like all men, he had not tasted fish for months, and with great difficulty, swallowed his saliva as he looked at the fish.

Strongman Gao placed the fish between them and said, "Pearl, come here! Let's eat together!"

Pearl Nalan face flushed with happiness as he thanked Strongman Gao repeatedly.

Strongman Gao smiled, and picked up a piece of steamed fish. In front of the envious men, he ate the fish and savored the taste.

Although he was but a farmer before the apocalypse, he is not stupid. He understood that in order to take control of a team, he needs to take control of people's hearts. Only then will he have people who are willing to follow his orders. If his team refused to obey him, he would be nothing but a commander in name only. Having saved Pearl Nalan's life during the battle with the zombie and shared his fish with Pearl Nalan, Pearl Nalan is naturally willing to follow him.

"Our current population is 2786 men. Stone Horse village has 1438 men, while Big Cliff has 1348 men. Yesterday, the men managed to find another 87 survivors. …"

Inside the Stone Horse village, Guo Yu was wearing a white dress, and was reporting the status of the village to Yue Zhong.

"We are still short of men!" Sitting on the table, Yue Zhong was frowning as he seemed lost in his thoughts.

As a commoner without any government authority, it is very hard for Yue Zhong to recruit more people. Even if he use radio or T.V. to broadcast his intent to recruit more men, the number of survivors who would come to him would be very small in number. The majority of the survivors prefers to go to LongHai Survival Camp as they believe more in government officials. Although Yue Zhong had been 'stealing'people from LongHai Survival Camp, and had tried his best to find more survivors in surrounding area, the number of people he could get is still very small in number.

Without men, he could not build a stronger army.

LongHai survival camp has more than 6,000 survivors, and is getting more survivors everyday. This made Yue Zhong realised the power of just having a status as a government official.

"Chen Zhiguan has sent a secret message: LongHai survival camp had issued an order to prevent us from recruiting more men to build a wall in our village. They also began to build a wall around their camp."

Yue Zhong eyebrows raised as he said: "What? Let me see the report!"

Chen Zhiguan had already become a trusted man who will provide Yue Zhong with insider information in LongHai Survivor Camp. He is a local resident in LongHai Survivor Camp, and well versed in the ways of the city. He had been assigned to help Yue Zhong recruit more men from LongHai Survivor Camp.

Most of the men in Yue Zhong's villages were recruited from LongHai Survival Camp. By banning him from recruiting more men, Yue Zhong's plans for expansion had been greatly affected.

"Should I forcefully attack the LongHai Survival Camp?" Yue Zhong struggled with this decision.

The presence of LongHai survival camp prevented Yue Zhong from expanding his base. Although they had worked together in the past to raid the granary, it was more like this matter was of mutual interests. Right now, it is hard to determine if LongHai survivor camp is an ally or a foe…

Report chapter

In restricting Yue Zhong from continuing to recruit survivors, Longhai Survivor Camp seemed to imply that they had already regarded Yue Zhong's group as a possible enemy, and is not willing to allow Yue Zhong to continue expanding his forces.

Yue Zhong had considered attacking and taking LongHai Survival Camp many times, and snatch all the survivors, food and equipment. But Yue Zhong's forces were limited as a majority of his men were normal humans. In a battle, the strongest two groups of men are naturally the evolvers and the military.

In a real war, the Military group will be much more effective than an evolver. The Military had taken control of all military weapons including but not limited to IFV, cannons, rocket launchers etc.

Although Yue Zhong had many militants who had defected to his camp, Yue Zhong had no confidence that they would listen to his commands and attack LongHai Survivor Camp. After all, many of their friends are still in the LongHai Survivor Camp.

Also, the LongHai Survivor Camp group is not weak either. There are more than 6000 survivors in LongHai Survivor Camp. In addition to the military, there are still countless numbers of policemen, commandos, military police and several factions with power. Even if Yue Zhong tries to take them head on, he does not have any guarantee that he will be able to win the war.

But if he does not take control of LongHai Survivor Camp, he will need to leave at least half of his army to guard his camp. If he takes all his soldiers out with him on a raid, it is highly probable that the LongHai Survivor Camp will launch a sneak attack at his camp. All that he had worked to build up will be swallowed by the LongHai Survivor Camp.

Similarly, LongHai Survivor Camp also feel threatened by Yue Zhong's group. They also dare not to take any large scale actions in the event that Yue Zhong's group attack them when all their forces were engaged with the enemy. They could only send small teams of men to go to the surrounding areas to search for more food.

Both parties are wary of each other, and are placed in a difficult position by the presence of each other. At the same time, they are locked in a stalemate. Neither of them dared to use all their forces to try to recover surrounding villages.

Looking at the pretty Guo Yu in front of him, he could not help feeling a bit better. "Yu Er [1, come here!" he waved.

Guo Yu approached Yue Zhong and sat on his lap.

Feeling the soft feeling of Guo Yu's body and the lovely smell of her fragrance as she slipped into Yue Zhong's arms, Yue Zhong felt very happy as he hugged Guo Yu. His troubles seemed to magically disappear.

Yue Zhong hugged Guo Yu, and slowly shared his troubles and frustration with her: "Yu Er, Longhai Survivor Camp is becoming an eyesore to me. I am hoping to move my soldiers and take the city by force, and remove this obstacle. What do you think?"

After listening to Yue Zhong, Guo Yu's big round eyes seem to widen in surprise. The she smiled and replied. "Master, I feel that now is not the time to forcefully launch an attack. For LongHai Survivor Camp, there is only one man standing at the top – Chen JianFeng. All we have to do is to assassinate him. LongHai Survivor Camp will be in chaos as each faction fights for control of the city. All we have to do is to grab the opportunity created by the Chaos to attack LongHai Survival Camp. This will allow us to get what we want with half the effort."

Listening to Guo Yu, Yue Zhong eyes also widen in surprise. He looked at the pretty and seductive Lolita in his arms. Never did he imagined that Guo Yu would come up with this devilish plan.

But this plan is really not a bad idea. The officials in power LongHai Survivor Camp are corrupted and only care about their own powers. Only Chen JianFeng and a few other officials are holding the fort by themselves. Also, Lei Cheng, the military commander, is standing at one side, waiting for an opportunity to strike. If Chen JianFeng is assassinated, there will definitely be Chaos in LongHai Survivor Camp as various factions fought for power.

It is just that Yue Zhong did not expect that the pretty and innocent looking Guo Yu would come up with such a plan.

Guo Yu also looked at Yue Zhong. Her big pretty eyes did not even blink or show any trace of impurity. She had racked her brains to think of this scheme to assist Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong hugged Guo Yu tightly and softly replied: "We cannot do that!"

Chen Yao and Ji Qing Wu has strong ties to Chen JianFeng. Ji Qing Wu is also one of the generals under Yue Zhong. If he tries to attack LongHai Survival Camp, Ji Qing Wu and Chen Yao will sit on the fence, and will not help either party. But if these two girls know that Yue Zhong had ordered a hit on and assassinate Chen JianFeng, they will not take this lying down and may attack Yue Zhong's camp instead.

Only a few very loyal men from Yue Zhong's team would be comfortable with the idea of Yue Zhong assassinating Chen JianFeng. But as for the rest of his men, especially the newly recruited men from LongHai survivor camp, it would be difficult to predict their reactions.

Guo Yu just smiled and said: "Then we have to wait for a chance. Lei Cheng is not willing to take orders from anyone, including Chen JianFeng. I estimated that we need not wait for long before he will stage a coup."

Yue Zhong was playing with Guo Yu's fingers, as he considered for a moment, and agreed. "For the time being, we could only do this."

Seeing that Yue Zhong had turned silent, Guo Yu is like a cat, as she enjoyed the pampering that Yue Zhong showers on her. Yue Zhong is often busy and seldom have much time to be with her. If he is not bringing men to search for more food supplies, he would be among the marksmen to practice his shooting skills. They have very little time spent together, and Guo Yu treasured each moment.

"Captain Yue! Captain Yue! Chen Zhiguang issued an urgent missive!" Da Gou shouted as he entered into the room without knocking. Seeing that Yue Zhong was hugging Guo Yu, he turned beet red in embarrassment and stopped moving and shouting.

Once Yue Zhong let go, Guo Yu discretely walked away from Yue Zhong's embrace with a hint of disappointment on her face. She stood besides Yue Zhong, and her presence was like a pure and flawless lily.

Da Gou quickly informed Yue Zhong of Wisemen Chen's missive: "Shang Lin county has a huge army of zombie that was marching towards LongHai Survival Camp. LongHai Survival Camp has requested for help from us, and request that we assign some soldier to protect the survivor camp!"

Yue Zhong raised his eyebrows and seemed to mull over this piece of news. Then he asked Da Gou: "How reliable is this piece of information? Has Chen Shi Tou verified this piece of information?"

Before the apocalypse, the population in Shang Lin county has a population of over 100,000 people. It is much bigger than Qing Yuan county where the Survivor Camp is located it. Although the number of people is lesser than Shang Lin county, it is also easier for Li JianFeng [2] to control the city.

Killing 5000 zombies in Big Cliff village is already the limit of what Yue Zhong's party could do. If there were 100,000 zombies, Yue Zhong feels that this is mission impossible.

A town has various ancillary facilities that were much better than that of villages. Yue Zhong also knows this fact. But the problem is that a town has insanely high numbers of zombies. Capturing a town will need a massive amount of ammunition. With the LongHai survivor camp watching at the sidelines, Yue Zhong dared not to lead his men to capture any town.

Da Gou quickly replied, "Chen Shi Tou has already verified that piece of information. There is indeed a massive throng of zombies that were making their wave towards LongHai Survival Camp."

Chen Shi Tou is a very careful man. He would definitely confirm the information before reporting it to Yue Zhong.

Report chapter

Each day, there were several teams that head out of the village to search for materials or to hunt zombies. In this evening, as soon as the search teams returned to the camp, their team captain was immediately summoned to a meeting in Big Cliff Village's conference hall.

"This is the problem that we are facing now! I would like to listen to your opinion." In the conference hall, Guo Yu reported the news that Chen Shi Tou [1] has sent to all the men.

Kong Tianyu spoke very loudly: "Captain Yue, we cannot send out soldiers. The LongHai Survivor Camp bastards dared to stop us from recruiting man, and they still expect us to send soldiers to save them? They think we are their servants?"

Kong Tianyu is a brave and mighty soldier. He is also loyal to Yue Zhong. This is the reason why Yue Zhong assigned him as the team captain for Close Combat team 1. He had won the right to participate in decision-making process.

Da Gou Zi (Big Dog) also mulled over the question, then he also gave his opinion. "Captain Yue, I also think that this is not the time for us to send our soldiers to help out. I feel that the men from LongHai survival camp just want to use us as cannon folder. If we go to rescue them, all the guns and bullets are all taken from our supply of ammunition. The men over there are ingrates, even if we saved them, they will also attack us at a later date."

Da Gou Zi is the quartermaster, and he take care of supplies in the camp. Fighting the war in Big Cliff Village had expended a lot of supplies. Although Yue Zhong men had found some ammo in Big Cliff Village's police stations and armed forces, he still experienced a net loss as he ammo found was less than the ammo he used to capture the village.

Liu Yan also agreed: "We should let them fight the zombies first! After the zombies had managed to enter the base, we can send people to save the survivors. At that time, those guys would no room for bargaining."

Zhao Xing also spoke his mind. "Captain Yue, there are over 6000 men over there. Lei Cheng has a big military base, and 7 IFV. They also built a wall. Even if they had a battle with the zombies, they should be able to last for a few days. After they could not hold on, it is not too late for us to send soldiers to help them."

Seeing that about half of the team captains opposed sending reinforcement, Wu Guang, Lang Zi and the men that Yue Zhong had recruited from the military faction in LongHai survival camp chose to keep quiet.

But against the backdrop of protests, Chen Yao stood up and say: "Yue Zhong, let's help! There are over 6000 survivors in the LongHai Survivor Camp. If the zombies managed to break into the camp, 6000 people will die. "

Although Chen Yao was disappointed with the high ranking officials in LongHai Survivor Camp, but she was pretty concerned about the 'normal citizens' survivors. Should the zombies manage to break down the walls, there will be countless numbers of death among these survivors.

Yue Zhong mulled over Chen Yao's words and did not say anything. He looked at Chi Yang, and asked "What do you think?"

All the eyes in the conference hall were on Chi Yang. They all knew that Chi Yang is Yue Zhong's best friend and buddy. As the first search team captain, he is often in the front lines of battle, and he found a lot of food and other supplies. All the men also acknowledge his leadership and the value of his words.

"My view is that we should help." Chi Yang explained. "Our relationship with LongHai is intimately interdependent. After the LongHai Survivor Camp, our village has the most survivors. After the zombie horde had destroyed LongHai Survivor Camp, it is highly likely that their next target will be us. Once the LongHai survivor Camp is destroyed, we also find it hard to find more people to defend our bases. We have less than half the number of people in LongHai survivor camp. It will be very tough for us to face the zombies by ourselves."

After the apocalypse, the worth of a man's life is cheaper than that of ants. The strong bullied the weak, and killed wantonly. A weak man who did not act accordingly to circumstances will be killed by the strong.

But at the same time, men is also a valuable resource. Without men, it is not possible to use the machines to create more weapons. Without men, there will be no soldiers. Man could not survive alone. Having enough man is required to prevent others from attacking. Therefore, after the apocalypse, it could be said that the value of a man's life could be cheap but valuable.

The LongHai survivor camp of 6000 men is to Yue Zhong, a big piece of fatty meat. If he could swallow this up, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

Yue Zhong slapped his palm on the table and announce. "I have decided. We will bring our soldiers to help! Kong Tian Yu, Liu Yan, Xiao Ming, Wu Guang, Zhao Xing, Ji Qing Wu, Lang Zi team, Wang Shuang, Cheng Yu squad, all follow me to LongHai Survivor camp. The rest of the men remain on guard here. In my absence, Chi Yang will be the commander. Da Gou Zi, please prepare the required material. We will set off tomorrow morning. "

Chi Yang also said, "Yue Zhong, Let me go to the Longhai Survivor Camp with you."

There are over 100,000 zombies that will be attacking the survivor camp. Among the 6,000 survivors, less than 2,000 of them dared to fight with the zombies. In addition, the various powers in the Survivor camp are not united. They fight as much among themselves as they fought zombies.

This time, Yue Zhong will be bringing 6 squads and all the prisoners. Even then the number of men does not exceed 400 men. He not only need to navigate the sea filled with treacherous politics among the various powers in LongHai Survivor Camp, but also face the might of a 100,000 strong zombie army. Any mistake on his part will result in death.

Yue Zhong immediately rejected Chi Yang's request. "No, you can't. Chi Yang. It is not easy for us to come this far. We cannot stop the reconstruction efforts in Big Cliff village and Stone Horse Village. We must continue to clean up zombies so that we can return things to normal. I need you here."

Listening to Yue Zhong's decision, Chi Yang kept quiet. He had been buddies with Yue Zhong for so long, of course he knows that Yue Zhong will not change his mind once he made a decision.

"All of you go back and rest. Dismiss!"

After concluding the meeting, Yue Zhong returned to his villa.

"I also want to go to with you the Survivor Camp!" Once he returned to the villa, Lu Wen who had kept her silence throughout the meeting suddenly hugged Yue Zhong and made this request. She wanted to be with Yue Zhong in this difficult period.

Zhang Xin was wearing a sexy black underwear and was massaging Yue Zhong's legs. Before the apocalypse, she often watched dramas about the struggle for power among the King's concubines. She knew that she is not very important in the heart of Yue Zhong, at least not when compared to Lu Wen and Guo Yu, and hence behaved herself.

Guo Yu was sitting to the right of Yue Zhong and just listened attentively to their conversation.

"No way, it is too dangerous!"

Lu Wen was not satisfied with Yue Zhong's answer: "I know how to cast offensive spells, and also can heal. I also have evolved to Level 7. Why can't I go with you? Didn't I also help out during the raid against Big Cliff Village?"

Yue Zhong really lacked people who can fight the zombies. As the leader of the team, he is often fighting in the front lines. Guo Yu, Luo Wen, Chen Yao etc, all these female mages-in-training will occasionally take part in battles as well. On one hand, they can kill more zombies and gain more experience to evolve. On the other hand, they can help to conserve bullets.

Yue Zhong explained "This time, what we are experiencing is different from the time we attacked Big Cliff Village. This time we are not facing several thousands of zombie, but rather over 100,000 zombies. If we are not careful, all of us will perish. This is too dangerous."

Report chapter

100,000 zombies and several thousand zombies are completely different concepts. And these 100,000 zombies are organized.

The Z1 Commander Zombie in Big Cliff Village that organized several thousands of zombies had already given Yue Zhong a lot of pressure. A 100,000 strong zombie army with organization and hierarchy would be even more formidable.

Lu Wen pouted and asked: "Then, why can Ji Qing Wu go with you?"

Yue Zhong pinched Lu Wen's cheeks and replied: "You also know about Ji Qing Wu's strength. She can protect herself in a zombie horde. Even if she met with any danger, she is able to escape it by virtue of her skills. That's why I allowed her to come with me."

Ji Qing Wu was skilled in using the sword. After joining Yue Zhong's team, she often took the initiative to bring men to search for more food supplies, and constantly gained experience and evolved. Right now, she is the 3rd strongest in Yue Zhong's team.

"Let's sleep." Yue Zhong bent down and kissed Lu Wen and Guo Yu on their forehead and immediately closed his eyes. Although he had 3 beauties in his arms, he did not have the mood to engage in sex. He needs to conserve his stamina and energy for the events that will soon happen.

Guo Yu who was sleeping beside Yue Zhong keep looking at Yue Zhong's face: "Power. If I have sufficient power to fight in battles besides him, how great would it be."

The next morning, two IFVs, five military jeeps with artillery guns, a machine gun car installed with a type 14.7 mm dual-mounted machine gun, seven trucks, ten Hummers, a large tanker and six converted buses drove towards Longhai Survivor Camp.

From the sky, Little Greenie was using its sharps eyes to keep a lookout for potential hazards.

This time, Yue Zhong took more than half of his elite forces and half of his ammunition supply to LongHai Survivor Camp. An army that is greater than 100,000 zombies is no joking matter. If there are insufficient preparations, most his elite forces will end up dead.

Of course, Yue Zhong is not so stupid as to offer his forces for free. He requested for the control of the North Gate in LongHai Survival Camp. All his men smoothly made their way into the LongHai Survival Camp.

But in Phoenix Street area, the LongHai Survivor Camp had deployed 5 IFVs in that area. As well, sandbags and barbed wires were formed to make a make-shift barricade. There were many soldiers standing guard over that street. The area outside of Phoenix Street has been rezoned to make way for Yue Zhong's troops.

The LongHai Survivor Camp may be using Yue Zhong's forces, but at the same time, they also need to protect themselves against Yue Zhong's forces. If not for the fact that there were massive numbers of zombie walking towards the Camp, the authorities in charge will never agree to let Yue Zhong bring soldiers into the LongHai Survivor Camp.

As soon as Yue Zhong disembarked from the vehicle, he immediately looked for Chen Shi Tou and asked. "What is the situation now? Quickly tell me whatever intelligence you have on the movement of the zombies!"

Chen Shi Tou eyes were bloodshot. For the last few days, he had not slept well. As soon Yue Zhong asked, he immediately replied. "The zombies are moving towards us, but their speed is very slow. If they continue to approach us at this pace, I estimated that they will reach here in about 10 days."

Listening to Chen Shi Tou's words, Yue Zhong could not help raising his eyebrows.

Shang Lin County is about 100 km away from LongHai Survivor Camp. Although these zombie's movement speed is very slow, they are able to move continuously non-stop around the clock. They do not need to rest, nor do they feel tired. Yue Zhong could not help being sceptical that the zombies need 10 days to reach LongHai Survivor Camp.

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Shi Tou and asked, "How many able-bodied survivors have you recruited?"

Chen Shi Tou replied, "400 men"

After getting news of the movement of the zombies from Shang Lin County, Chen Shi Tou immediately started a mass recruitment for all able-bodied man. After some training, they would be able to fight against the zombie.

After the apocalypse, man and woman are both valuable resources [C1]. The women represent mankind's future. The men represent mankind's present.

Women can do what men cannot do: they can give birth and increase the population of humans. Without women, humanity has no future. Men could not increase their population and humans will die out.

Men are naturally stronger and more aggressive than women. Hence, this usually makes men more suitable for fighting than most women. At present, men are needed to fight, and Chen Shi Tou naturally recruited the stronger and able-bodied men.

Yue Zhong replied: "Make arrangement for these men to eat, then begin training as soon as possible. If you need more equipment, request it from Wang Shuang."

When trained, 400 men is a powerful weapon against zombies.

Chen Shi Tou replied: "Understood! Tonight there is a gathering in the Special Administrative Region. Various factions and powers in LongHai survivor camp will attend this gathering. Lei Cheng had sent an invitation, and hope you can attend. They said the purpose of this gathering is to discuss the zombie invasion."

"Noted! Please let someone inform them that I will be on time."

Yue Zhong walked towards Little Greenie and mounted it.

Although Little Greenie can not be compared to its parents, it is also a massive Mutant Beast with a wingspan of 15 m. It is not a problem for it to carry a man.

Yue Zhong patted Little Greenie on its back, and Little Greenie immediately flapped its wings and soar up towards the sky, and head in the direction of Shang Ling County.

Chen Shi Tou could not help looking at Yue Zhong with envy. He also wanted to have such a magnificent beast. Then he turned around and walked towards the 400 men he had recruited.

400 survivors were gathered in an empty field. Each of them had a bowl of porridge in one hand, and a bun in the other hand, and was eating their meal.

Chen Shi Tou walked in the front of these men, and coldly shouted: "You have 30 seconds to finish your meal, and then assemble here immediately!"

After Chen Shi Tou's announcement, the 400 survivors immediately wolfed down their bun, and washed down the bun with the porridge, and assembled.

After raiding Shang Lin granary, the lives of all survivors did not improve by much. The relief gruel was a bit thicker, but that all.

Raiding Shang Lin granary had provided very rich returns for LongHai survivor camp, they have accumulated a lot of food, and even of their gains from Shang Lin granary is enough for 10,000 people to eat for 2 years. But after the apocalypse, all the seeds could not germinate. To ensure that humanity can survive for a longer term, LongHai Survivor Camp did not distribute the food for all the survivors. And there are some people in positions of power who felt that if the survivors are well fed, it will become much harder to control them.

It is no wonder that most of the survivors in LongHai Survivor Camp are hungry and dressed in rags. Having good food to eat (the bun and porridge are so much better than gruel) is a blessing for these survivors, and they will not easily let go of this marvellous opportunity.

Chen Shi Tou waved his hands, and several men carried in carts full of machetes and steel shields. There was a small mountain of these products.

There are 400 machetes, and 400 shields. These items were all created from Big Cliff Village. From the first day that Yue Zhong had conquered Big Cliff Village, the steel factory has been churning out all sorts of weapons and armours, and have not stopped production.

Chen Shi Tou shouted: "Each of you come and get one machete and one shield!"

All the survivor was surprised to see these items, but all of them stepped up to get their machetes and shields.

末世之后，无论男人女人都死宝贵的资源。女人能够生孩子，繁衍族群. 而男人则…

It directly translated as "After the apocalypse, man and woman are also valuable. Women can give birth, and increase the population. Man… blah blah blah"

In the above sentence, it sounds awful. The author seemed to imply that women are only good for giving birth and nothing more. I edited this to

"After the apocalypse, man and woman are both valuable resources. The women represent mankind's future. The men represent mankind's present.

Women can do what men cannot do: they can give birth. Without women, humanity has no future. Men could not increase their population and humans will die out.

Men… blah blah blah" "

It says the same thing (women can give birth, increase the population). But the way I said it in the second paragraph does not discriminate as heavily against woman and make it seemed that women are only good for giving birth. It is much nicer, right?

Your mums, sisters and wives or girlfriends would be proud of being a woman.

For those critics who want to yell at me for making this change in my translations and not just translate the author's words as it is given, remember this: If you want more updates and faster releases, DO NOT PISS ME OFF.

When I am angry, I take long breaks to cool down. This means you wait longer for a chapter or have fewer chapters a day.

I have no problem with discussions, correction of my typo and poor grammar etc, but I do have problems with rude, insensitive remarks.

Chen Shi Tou announced: "Some of you might have guessed – We are allocating machetes and shields to you because we want you to fight against the zombies. If you do not have the guts to do so, put down your weapon and your shield and walk out of here. From this moment onwards, you have nothing more to do with us. But if you are willing to fight against the zombies, I will guarantee that each of you will have enough to eat every, and you also have a chance to earn meat to eat."

After listening to Chen Shi Tou, many men among the 400 survivors turned pale. The machetes and shields in their hands dropped to the floor as they shook uncontrollably.

Fighting with zombies is not that easy. These zombies look horrible, and there is a high chance of being infected with the zombie virus. One hit is all it takes to turn you into a zombie.

One survivor threw down his machete and shield and walked out. Even if he could have more food to eat, he also refused to fight against the zombies. This is especially true if he is armed with just a machete and a shield to fight.

As if the first man leaving the camp had opened the floodgates to leave, one by one, more and more men chose to leave the camp. After a short while, over 200 men have chosen to leave. Only 100 survivors remain.

The most important aspects of this team were courage and guts. Without courage and guts, it is impossible for these men to fight. If Yue Zhong has more time, he will not allow a single man to leave this camp. He will make sure that all of these men will be brave and willing to fight the zombies.

But at this moment, time is what Chen Shi Tou lacked the most. Slowly but surely, these zombies are coming. Right now, he can only let those without guts to fight to leave his camp.

Those who left are all survivors that joined LongHai Survivor Camp relatively recently. They had not experienced hunger for a long, and still believes that the authorities will not ditch them and will provide help to them.

But the men who stayed are all pioneers who had stayed in LongHai Survivor Camp for a long time. They were already so hungry and oppressed until they could not withstand the hunger. As long as there were food for them to eat, they were ready to do anything.

If forced into a corner, a human will show extraordinary strength as he retaliates. However, if given a choice, almost all man will not chose to fight with their lives on the line. Now that these men had experienced hunger and were cornered by the authorities, these men were willing to fight. To kill zombies in exchange for food? Not a problem! Dying in combat is so better than dying of hunger!

Chen Shi Tou looked at the 100 remaining men, and said: "Excellent! Now swing your blade downwards 100 times!"

All the 100 remaining men began practicing swinging their machetes.

Chen Shi Tou was assigned as the trainer for these 100 men. He was the best hunter in Chen Family Village, and have experience numerous battles with Yue Zhong with his Tang Imitation Sword. This gave him some knowledge of using a sabre. Although his skills are not as good as a master of a sabre, but he had no problems teaching new recruits the correct way to swing their machetes for maximum impact.

After the last survivor who refused to fight the zombies had left the camp, Wang Sheng walked towards a man who was recording down the details of these survivors, and asked: "Did you record down their name and particulars?"

"Yes, Sir! We had recorded all these information already!"

Wang Shuang had a cold look in his eyes as he said "Very good! These cowards! When we recruit more men, make sure we don't recruit these rubbish."

Wang Shuang was one of the men who had followed Yue Zhong since the apocalypse. His combat ability and qualifications was considered mediocre. But after experiencing the hash and cruel world after the apocalypse, his mind-set and personality slowly changed, and he had managed to evolve to level 9.

"Understood!"

= Meanwhile, in the skies =

Yue Zhong was seated on Little Greenie's back and soaring freely in the sky.

Being able to fly is a dream for many man. But the feeling of flying on the back of a great eagle is far from the ideal landscape of freedom that was painted by false expectations and imagination.

In reality, Little Greenie is very fast. In the sky, hundreds of meters away from the nearest land, the wind resistance was like hundreds of blade of knives cutting into Yue Zhong, and threatened to push him off Little Greenie's back and fall to his doom. Even with Yue Zhong's strengthened body, he also felt very pressurised by the wind resistance.

Yue Zhong lie down on his front to minimise the wind resistance, and gently patted Little Greenie and said: "Fly slowly, please."

Little Greenie understood Yue Zhong words, and slowed down, and leisurely flew towards the direction where Shang Lin County lain in.

After about 2 hours, Yue Zhong was able to see the army of zombies.

From Shan Lin County, the army of zombies was as thick as ants, and there seemed to be no end to the number of zombies. From the sky, it look like a massive black-coloured tidal wave that was slowly moving forwards, destroying everything in its path.

In the land where the tide of zombie had moved over, it was eerily empty. There was no sound of insects, no mutant beasts, nothing at all. All that remains were bones of various beasts, and blood-stained ground.

In front of the massive, colossus army of zombies, all the mutant beasts in front of the army could be seen fleeing in all directions.

From the zombie horde, hundreds of speed-enhanced S1 and S2 zombies broke apart from the zombie tide, and hunted down all the fleeing mutant beasts. Then they ate these creatures.

Not all Mutant Beasts choose to run although. Some chose to fight. After all, the normal zombies that made up the bulk of the army were only level 1 and were much weaker than them.

A Mutant Bull was charging among the zombie horde, and sent several zombies flying with its stampede. After sending about 10 zombies flying, its horns impeded itself on to the massive body of an L2 zombie.

The massive L2 smashed its fists on the head of the Mutant bull. The impact of the force smashed a dent in the thick skull of the bull and crushed its brain, killing it immediately.

Once the mutant bull is dead, the normal zombie swarmed upon on the Mutant Bull's body as if they were files attracted a corpse, and began to eat it. In a short while, only the bones and the blood spilled on the floor were all that remained of the Mutant Bull.

A Mutant Cat Beast with a body like a leopard was constantly hunting down as many normal zombies as possible that had wandered into its territory. Each bite or claws would kill a zombie and it would retreat immediately after each hit. The normal zombies had no way to stop the hit and run tactics employed by the Mutant Cat. They were far too slow to keep up with its speed.

Suddenly, seven S2 zombies rushed out from the zombie crowd, and with their terrifying claws, made short work of the Mutant Cat. In no time at all, the mutant cat joined the Mutant bull as nothing but a pile of skeleton and pool of blood.

As the zombie horde passed by the river, a water python emerged from the waters. It begin to swallow the zombies and help itself to a feast.

The normal zombies could not even scratch its scales as it wrecked carnage on the zombies. To the water python, the zombies are like snacks to be enjoyed at its leisure.

From the zombie horde, sixty S2 zombies each held a H1 zombie [1] high above the rest of the zombies. The sixty H1 zombies opened their mouths and sixty balls of fire blew apart the head of the water python. It collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

Although the water python scales may be immune to the attacks of normal zombies, the scales could not withstand the might of H1 fireball.

A massive horde of zombies rushed up, and devoured the Water Python. In a few minutes, all that remained are some bones and some scales.

"This is bad! If we engage these zombies in a battle, we need to destroy all the H1 zombie at the earliest opportunity." Yue Zhong was worried about his subordinates after witnessing the death of the water python.

Even a massive and powerful water python mutant beast whose scales are immune to most physical attacks also ended up being nothing more than food for the zombies. His subordinates who were dressed in Water Python Snakeskin armour would also be unable to withstand a single hit from the H1 zombies.

Yue Zhong patted Little Greenie and requested for Little Greenie to fly lower. Little Greenie flapped its wing and immediately flew down towards the H1 zombies.

From the sky, a fireball spell and a cone of ice runes suddenly appeared. In the next moment, a fireball and a cone of ice was launched and hit 2 of the H1 on their heads, and killed the two H1 in one hit.

Having killed the two of h1, Yue Zhong took out his stinger gun and fired three shots at the h1 below.

In moving at high speed on top of Little Greenie, Yue Zhong's accuracy was significantly affected. Of the three bullets he fired, 2 of these bullets ended up hitting the L2 zombies [1] that were supporting the H1 zombies. Only 1 of these bullets managed to kill an H1 zombie.

Seeing that his accuracy had been affected, he waved his hand and kept the stinger gun. From his hands several hand grenades appeared, and he tossed them towards the group of zombies without a thought.

"BOMB!!! BOMBBB!!"

One explosion after another continuously resounded from the area, and seven to eight H1 and L2 were torn apart by the blast.

After tossing about seven to eight hand grenade, Yue Zhong's danger-sense triggered. He immediately patted Little Greenie and roared "Fly upwards with all your speed!"

Little Greenie flapped its massive wings and seemed to tear through the sky as it flew into the clouds.

After Little Greenie has flown into the cloud, several H1 zombies were also hosted up by L2 zombies, and aimed towards the direction Yue Zhong escaped in. This time, there were about 50 of these H1 zombies. If Little Greenie were to be hit by 50 fireballs, it would also be killed instantly.

"So hard to kill! If only we have a bomber plane, that would be much easier!"

In the clouds, Yue Zhong frown as he looked at the sea of zombies.

The zombies were packed tightly together. Before the apocalypse, several bomber planes with heavy bombs could easily blow these zombies into oblivion. But, let's not mentioned bomber aircraft, Yue Zhong did not even have an armed helicopter.

Yue Zhong did not continue to toss out his hand grenades. After the battle with the Mutant Rat Horde, his supply of grenades has dropped by a lot. He was unwilling to waste these valuable explosives on the regular zombies.

Yue Zhong was lying flat on Little Greenie back as he observed the zombies' movement. He finally found the reason for the slow movements of these zombies.

The sea of zombies did not make a direct beeline towards LongHai survivor camp. Rather, they walked towards the surrounding villages. For each village the zombies passed over, all the zombies in that village would shakily walk out and join the zombie army, making the number of zombies increase significantly with each village passed.

The zombie horde was moving so slow because it continuously gathered more and more zombies from the surrounding area.

"If this continues, after ten days, the number of zombies we face will definitely be a lot more than just 100,000." Looking at the number of zombies that crawled out of each village to join the sea of zombie, Yue Zhong felt very depressed.

Although the zombie tide may be very slow, the general direction of its movements seemed to indicate that it is moving towards LongHai Survivor Camp. Yue Zhong estimated that at most, it will take ten days for the zombie to arrive.

"Where are the Z series of zombies?" From the sky, Yue Zhong kept a sharp lookout, trying to find the Z type of zombies from among the sea of zombies. But the Z series of zombies are short, and there were like 100,000 zombies. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After a fruitless search, Yue Zhong directed Little Greenie back toward LongHai Survivor Camp. Along the way, he grabbed the opportunity to observe the surrounding landscape.

To fight in any war, the timing, geography of the land and the men are three important factors. The geography is of particular importance. Throughout Chinese history, many generals have used the terrain to their advantage to win a battle even though the enemy troops outnumbered them. Yue Zhong had not been to these locations before. Therefore, he wants to observe the surrounding lands as he made his way back to LongHai Survivor Camp.

That night, Yue Zhong brought Ji Qing Wu and Cheng Yu through the deadlock in Phoenix Street into the Special Administrative Area to attend the Banquet.

Once he reached the outskirts of the villa where the banquet was held in, Cheng Yu seemed to vanish into the shadows. He is an assassin. The darkness his best protection. His sneak attacks from the darkness are ten times as efficient as ordinary men.

Under the canopy of bright lights, many sharply-dressed waiters and waitresses in clean and neat uniforms were shuttling among the banquet and serving the guests. Smartly-dressed men in suits and women in gowns formed a small circle as they chatted among themselves, while holding glasses of wine in their hands.

In the middle of the hall, there was a long table, filled with fruits, cakes, pastries, salads, drinks, and a variety of meat dishes, and about two dozen vegetarian dishes.

The scene inside the villa makes it very hard for anyone to imagine that they were living in a post-apocalypse world. The lavish feast seemed to ignore the fact that in the fields, seeds could not germinate, and there was a severe food shortage. The world inside the brightly lit villa is in stark contrast to the lives of the survivors outside the villa, where there was a widespread lack of food, and many survivors were wearing rags. Things were so bad that many women were willing to prostitute themselves for a slice of bread.

"Yue Zhong, you arrived!" Once Yue Zhong entered the villa, a handsome man by the name of Gu Yan Yi's [2] eyes seemed to shine, as he walked towards Yue Zhong.

Gu Yan Yi stopped in front of Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong was wearing a simple warrior outfit, and a Tang Sabre hanged from a scabbard attached to his waist. Besides him stood the ever-lovely and beautiful Ji Qing Wu.

Gu Yan Yi eyes seemed to flash with mixed feelings as he smiled and said: "Isn't this Ji Qing Wu? Yue Zhong, is she your girlfriend? You are really accomplished! Ji Qing Wu is the dream woman for many men in LongHai Survivor Camp."

Ji Qing Wu and Chen Yao are also residents of the Special Administrative Region. The spoilt, wealthy men from the Special Administrative Region naturally know about this beauty.

Yue Zhong just returned the smile and replied, "It a pity, but you guessed wrong. We are just good friends."

Ji Qing Wu eyes seemed to flash with a strange light, but she did not say a word, and quietly stood beside Yue Zhong.

Gu Yan Yi smiled as he led the two guests towards a corner of the great hall.

Ji Qing Wu was dressed common casual clothes, while Yue Zhong was wearing a warrior's outfit. Their attire stands out from the crowd of well-dress men and women in suits and evening gowns.

Most of the glares that looked at the attire of Yue Zhong were snobbish, and had a hint of contempt at first. But when these glares saw Yue Zhong's face, most of the contemptuous gazes immediately disappeared to be replaced by one of awe and respect.

All of the men who attend this banquet were heads or leaders of the various factions within LongHai Survivor Camp. They had either directly participated in or sent their men to participated in the raid on Shang Lin granary. They were very familiar with the strength of Yue Zhong and his team, and dare not to look down on Yue Zhong. After all, Yue Zhong's team was the only team that escaped from the Mutant Rats without a single causality. Also, Yue Zhong was the one who hunted down the Mutant Rat King, and hence scattered the horde of rats.

Many of these leaders instead wanted to find some way to deepen their relationships with Yue Zhong. The future is uncertain, and nobody knows what will happen in the zombie attack. But all of them agreed on one thing. In this post-apocalypse word, having good relationships with a powerful evolver backed by a team of elite men is not a bad thing to have.

Just when Yue Zhong and his date were casually chatting with some of the guests, a gorgeous, voluptuous lady wearing a red dress cut in the conversation. Her hair was very neatly style, and she was wearing makeup on her face. But her attitude was cold as she sneered "What country bumpkins! To come to this high-class banquet dressed in casual clothes. Tssk… You two do not know what etiquette is."

薛一刀 Xu Yi Dao. 薛 = Xu= surname. 一刀 = One Blade. So I nickname him One Blade Xu.

王天Wang Tian. 王=Wang = Surname. 天= Sky. So I nickname him Sky Wang.

Another coquettish-looking woman decked in jewellery joined in to heckle at Yue Zhong. She threw cold look towards Yue Zhong, and spoke the man who Yue Zhong was chatting with, "Young master Gu, are two hillbillies friends of yours? They seemed to have no common sense. This is battalion commander Lei's banquet. How could you let these two commoners come in dressed like this? Isn't that being too disrespectful to the commander Lei?"

Flame King Gu's team is a relatively strong faction in LongHai Survivor Camp. But in LongHai Survivor Camp, there are too many factions fighting for power, and there is always someone more powerful. Although Flame King Gu is an evolver, in the eyes of the bigger factions, he is considered insignificant.

Here, the military controlled weapons and bullets with an iron fist. If Flame King Gu dares to use his skills to attack any man from the Special Administrative Region, a type 40 rocket is more than enough to send him to heaven.

The two pretty women are the women of the Green Wolves Clan's leader and the Big Knife Clan's leader. These two Clans were created by Lei Cheng to do all the dirty deeds that Lei Cheng cannot publicly do. These two clans often clashed with Flame King Gu's faction.

The voluptuous lady wearing a red dress is the woman of the Green Wolves Clan's leader, Wang Tian (Sky Wang). Her name is Zhang Yan.

The other lady decked in jewellery is the woman of the Big Knife Clan's leader, Xu Yi Dao (One Blade Xu). Her name is An Yan Hua.

Listening to the two ladies' chatter, Yue Zhong raised his eyebrows, and coldly stared at Green Wolves Clan's leader, Wang Tian (Sky Wang).

Wang Tian (Sky Wang) noticed the cold look on Yue Zhong's face, and immediately slapped Zhang Yan on her face and scolded her: "Bitch! You better watch what you say! The one in front of you is Captain Yue! Quickly kneel down and apologise to Captain Yue!"

Green Wolves Clan's leader, Wang Tian (Sky Wang) had also participated in the fight against the Mutant Rats Tide. He had personally witnessed Yue Zhong's might with his own eyes. As a subordinate of Lei Cheng, he is also aware that this man had the strength and power to fight on par with Lei Cheng's forces. At the same time, this man is also the man that his boss, Lei Cheng, wants to rope in. Furthermore, he knew that Yue Zhong was responsible for the overnight destruction of Ice King Group. He had no desired whatever to become the second Ice King.

To Wang Tian (Sky Wang), Zhang Yan is only one of his toys. He did not place particular importance on her. After all, he had many more toys.

Zhang Yan's face swell from the force of the slap, and she immediately turn pale. She cried and kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and beg for forgiveness. "Sorry, Captain Yue! I have eyes, but failed to see you, and even offended you."

Although Sky Wang will not do anything to her during the banquet, Zhang Yan knows Sky Wang's character. He is a man who would not hesitate to kill or torture his women if these women displeased him. Zhang Yan dare not to disobey Sky Wang's words, for fear or recuperations after the banquet.

Sky Wang also apologises, "Sorry, Captain Yue! I am Green Wolves Clan's leader, Wang Tian (Sky Wang). It is my fault for not being strict enough!! Please forgive my mistake."

Yue Zhong then stared at Big Knife Clan's leader, Xu Yi Dao (One Blade Xu) coldly.

Xu Yi Dao (One Blade Xu) felt a chill creeping up his spine. But he had long accustomed to being a leader in his clan, and is not willing to follow Sky Wang and beg for forgiveness. He just silently stood there, and did not let his woman An Yan Hua apologise to Yue Zhong.

An Yan Hua saw that Zhang Yan was kneeling before Yue Zhong, and knew that today, she had offended someone she should not have. She also turned pale and walked towards One Blade Xu, and hope that her man can protect her.

Yue Zhong saw that One Blade Xu had kept silent, and he step forwards and hit One Blade Xu. The force of his blow was such that One Blade Xu's mouth was covered with blood and his head was swimming with stars. "You better teach your woman what they should not say!" Yue Zhong coldly said.

"You are asking for death!" Ever since One Blade Xu had followed Lei Cheng and became the leader of the Big Knife Clan, everything goes

smoothly for him. He had never been this humiliated before. His eyes turned red with fury, and he launched a blow at Yue Zhong in retaliation, without considering the difference in strength.

Before the apocalypse, he was a Muay Thia Kick Boxing instructor in a martial arts school. His fists are heavy and quick. Normal humans find it hard to withstand his fists. He had joined Lei Cheng early, and, as a result, he was given the leadership of the Big Knife Clan.

"Idiot!"

One Blade Xu's fist may be useful against low-level evolvers. But against someone who has seven times the speed of a regular human, the fist is slow as a turtle.

Yue Zhong stepped aside and easily dodged the punch. He kicked One Blade Xu's legs, and forced One Blade Xu to fall onto the floor. Then he stomped his foot heavily on One Blade Xu's back.

One Blade Xu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and was pinned down like a dog under Yue Zhong's foot.

Although Sky Wang and One Blade Xu are both Lei Cheng's subordinates, they get along like oil get along with water. Both of them secretly plot against each other in their struggle for power. Looking at his rival who was pinned dog and unable to get up, he felt conflicted. On one hand, he gloated at his arch-rival's misfortune. On the other hand, he could not help feeling afraid.

Seeing that One Blade was pinned below Yue Zhong's foot, An Yan Hua immediately kneel and beg for forgiveness: "Captain Yue, it is me that had a foul mouth! It is me that talked rubbished! Please spare One Blade Xu! I am begging you! I am sorry. I am so sorry!"

After the apocalypse, human lives are as cheap as ants. An Yan Hua may be pretty, but if not for the fact that One Blade Xu had protected her, she could not have such a good life. One Blade Xu had treated her quite well, and is not like Sky Wang who discarded woman like objects after using them. She also had some feelings for One Blade Xu. Therefore, upon seeing One Blade Xu in trouble, she unhesitatingly swallowed her pride and begged for forgiveness.

This event had attracted the attention of the security guards, and seven men dressed in security suits quickly made their way to the scene and surrounded Yue Zhong and One Blade Xu.

"What happen?" A burly, well built and dark-skin man stepped forward from among the guards and asked.

Sky Wang also stepped out and smiled at that security guard. "Captain Fu, this is just a minor misunderstanding. Stone Horse Village leader, Captain Yue, and Big Knife Clan's leader, One Blade Xu, had a minor misunderstanding. There is no trouble."

Sky Wang quickly pointed out Yue Zhong's status. Lei Cheng wishes to have Yue Zhong serve him and control Yue Zhong's power. His ambition is not a closed secret. Sky Wang do not wish to create any conflicts between Yue Zhong and any direct subordinates of Lei Cheng. If not, Lei Cheng would not forgive him

This guard is one of Lei Cheng's strongest evolvers, Fu Ming.

After hearing Yue Zhong's name, Fu Ming looked at Yue Zhong, as if asking Yue Zhong to confirm the words.

Yue Zhong then lift his leg and smiled towards Fu Ming and said: "This is really a minor misunderstanding!"

One Blade Xu also slowly get up. With eyes full of poisonous hate for Yue Zhong, he swallowed his anger and killing intent and said: "This is a misunderstanding."

One Blade Xu finally cleared his mind of any rage he felt when he was punched. He is not an idiot. He knows of Lei Cheng's plan, and must endure this humiliation. If not, Lei Cheng will give him a hard time. Although Big Knife Clan leader sounds good, in the eyes of Lei Cheng, it is no better than a dog.

"Do not make any trouble here. If there is a next time, we will escort you out." Fu Ming glared at Yue Zhong. Then he led his subordinate out.

One Blade Xu sucked in a deep breath, and with great difficulties, humbled himself as he apologised to Yue Zhong. "Sorry, it is my fault for not teaching my woman!"

Although One Blade Xu had apologised, it did not clear the resentment in his heart.

"Look after your woman properly!" Yue Zhong did not even put One Blade Xu in his eyes, as he walked off with Gu Yan Yi [1].

"Let's go!" One Blade Xu had lost a lot of face in his skirmish with Yue Zhong, and had no face to remain in the same area. He pulled An Yan Hua towards a corner of the banquet. At this moment, the looks of pity on each and every man's face were like daggers stabbing into his body.

Sky Wang is relatively thick-skinned, and did not care about the looks of the men as he mingled with the crowd with Zhang Yan. Although Zhang Yan face has swollen, she was able to socialise well with the rich ladies as they eased into polite gossip and chatter.

Yue Zhong met a lot of people he recognised in this banquet.

Gu Fei Fei, Ning Zi Xuan, Ma Bu, Gu Li and Zhang Yang [2] entered the villa next, followed by four more women.

The four women were dressed in evening gowns and look absolutely stunning as the heads of several men turned to look at them. These four of women sat next to four men, and engaged the men in lively conversations. Soon, the sound of laughter and chatter from these group of beautiful women liven up the heavy atmosphere.

Ning Zi Xuan was immaculately dressed, and well-groomed. From his looks, no one could tell his personality would change that much when he was drunk [See Chapter 148-150].

Gu Fei Fei was dressed in a purple night gown. Her face has some light makeup, and made her look a bit more matured. With her thick, sexy lips, it give her a wild, matured charm.

Seeing Yue Zhong walking over towards her, Gu Fei Fei's face seemed to break into a strange smile as she said: "Yue Zhong, you had really created a big storm."

Gu Fei Fei has seen how Yue Zhong had taught One Blade Xu a lesson. One Blade Xu and Sky Wang were very proud men and did not even put her dad Flame King Gu in their eyes. But they submitted to Yue Zhong so easily. She could not help to but take a dig at Yue Zhong.

"You flattered me." Yue Zhong just shrugged and did not seemed to care as he sat on the sofa, and helped himself to an apple.

Gu Fei Fei looked at Ji Qing Wu who was standing next to Yue Zhong. She seemed unhappy as she asked: "Where is Fang Chu? Why isn't she here with you? It has been but a few days, and you already changed your woman? You changed your woman like you change clothes."

Gu Yan Yi heard his sister's sharp remarks and immediately said in a strict voice: "Fei Fei, mind your manners!"

Gu Yan Yi is not a man who did not understand the current situation. Yue Zhong is now a man who holds the envy and fear of the men in LongHai Survivor Camp. He has 3000 survivors, weapons that are not inferior to the military, and many evolvers under his command. Although their father, Flame King Gu, is a man with some power in LongHai Survivor Camp, his might could not be compared with Yue Zhong's strength.

Gu Fei Fei may be rebellious, but she is not stupid. As soon as the words left her mouth, she already felt a tinge of regret. But she could take back the words that she had already said. Therefore, she immediately apologised to Yue Zhong.

The scene of Yue Zhong teaching One Blade Xu had left a mark of fear in Gu Fei Fei's heart as she re-evaluated her attitude towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong just smiled, and did not intend to pursue the matter. "It's all right!"

From their first meeting, Yue Zhong knew that Gu Fei Fei's character is a bit rebellious. He had purposely picked a fight with One Blade Xu to show off his might so that others dare not offend him.

After the apocalypse, all order had collapsed, and a new law was formed from the chaos – the law of the jungle. Or the survival of the fittest. The weak will be bullied time and time again by the strong. To survive in this world, you need to show your strength.

In the LongHai survival camp, there were many factions fighting for power. If Yue Zhong had not displayed his feat of strength, many people would think he is weak and try to take his advantage. Many people will try to challenge him time and time again as they probed his strength in a struggle for power.

Even if Yue Zhong is relatively strong, but there were many factions. Like a pack of hungry wolves, they would work together and tear him apart if he shown the slightest trace of weakness.

By displaying his powers, no one dares to challenge him anymore.

Gu Fei Fei was just impulsive, and Yue Zhong would not turn the cheek on her just for her slip of the tongue.

Gu Yan Yi looked at Yue Zhong and asked "Yue Zhong, do you think we can defend LongHai Survivor Camp?"

Hearing Gu Yan Yi's words, Ning Zi Xuan and the rest of the men in the surrounding area all looked towards Yue Zhong. It is an open secret that a massive number of zombies from Shan Lin County are headed towards LongHai Survivor Camp. The issue in most people's heart is whether LongHai Survivor Camp can be defended from the zombie attack.

If it is impossible to defend, then all of them need to make preparations. Otherwise, they would die in the zombie attack.

Among all the men in the villa, only Yue Zhong had brought soldiers to fight against the zombies and freed two villages. He words are the most trustworthy among all the men here.

Yue Zhong considered for a while before replying. "There is only a 20% chance of us successfully defending the base. This assessment of 20% is only if each and every one of you are willing to join and fight together as one. If we do not unite, then we don't have even have 10% chance of successfully defending this base."

Ning Zi Xuan interrupted: "It is not possible, right? Yue Zhong, last time Lei Cheng just brought one camp of men and he manage to clear Qing Yan County (Qing Yan County is where the LongHai Survivor Camp is located in). But now that he had more than one camp of soldiers. And the LongHai Survivor Camp also have so many men. How come you feel that it is not possible to defend LongHai Survivor Camp."

Shortly after the apocalypse, Lei Cheng had just used two platoons of soldiers and managed to clear the Qing Yan County, and set up the LongHai Survivor Camp. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that most of the people here believed that LongHai Survivor Camp can be defended.

Yue Zhong explained: "The zombies are continuously evolving. I think all of you know this. This time, there are over 100,000 zombies. The number of zombies that have evolved twice would be in the mid-hundreds range. The number of zombies that have evolved just once would be in the range of several thousand. Among the zombies, there are commander zombies with high intelligence that organise these zombies into a powerful army. With a commander, all the zombies are at least ten times more formidable then previous."

"As for us, we have expanded most of the ammunition. Looking at the big picture, I think that it would be very difficult to defend LongHai Survivor camp. "

After listening to Yue Zhong's words, all the men were stunned in silence. If Yue Zhong's words can be trusted, then the Survivor Camp would be in great danger.

While most of the men were mulling over Yue Zhong's words, Lei Cheng and his son, Lei Sheng, walked into the banquet hall with several military evolvers.

Once Lei Cheng walked to the stage, all the lights in the room were turned off, except for a ray of light shining at him.

"Thank you for coming to this banquet" Lei Cheng was wearing a military uniform. Looking at the smiling man who seemed to be full of heroic spirit, no one was able to tell from his appearance that he is a narrow-minded and petty man, and excel in backstabbing others.

After speaking some polite words, Lei Cheng immediately drove straight into the main issue: "I think all of you should know by now. There is a 100,000 zombie army that is approaching us from Shang Lin County. Now our Survival Camp has reached a point where its survival is at stake. I hope everyone will be able to put down their grudges and join hands together to fight against this threat."

Lei Cheng seemed to be a naturally born actor as he said: "If we humans can join hands together, we will be able to defeat the zombies. Right now, right here, I swear in front of all of you. I swear that our military will fight to protect everyone. I, myself, will fight alongside each and every one of you, and live and die with LongHai Survivor Camp.

After Lei Cheng finished his speech, there is a sound of thunderous applause from the audience.

The fact that there are over 100,000 zombies from Shang Lin County that are making their way towards LongHai Survivor Camp is not a secret. If not for the support of the military and government officials who chose to make a stand in LongHai Survival Camp, most if not all of these survivors would have fled at the first whiff of this news.

Truth to be told, most of the survivors had wanted to flee and leave the camp. Nobody is willing to stay. However, a majority of the survivors do not have much stamina and strength to do so. After entering LongHai Survivor Camp, they did not have much food to eat, and were often hungry. As a result, even if they managed to leave the survivor camp, they do not have the energy to go too far.

In the survivor camp, almost all the weapons and tools attained from the [System] must be handed over the government, military or various faction heads. The regular survivors do not have any equipment to protect themselves. Even if they want to flee, they will not be able to survive out there without any tools to defend themselves with.

Lei Cheng's words brought hope and reduced the anxiety of many heads of factions. Lei Cheng had control of a full camp of soldiers, and eight IFVs, giving them more confidence.

Hearing the thunderous applause, Lei Cheng finally revealed his true colours: "In this time of danger, we cannot allow conflicts among the various factions. We need to unite, and stand together to overcome this crisis. But it is not possible to do so with a strong leader. To ensure that every one will work together, we should choose a leader that will bring everyone to lead everyone to overcome this danger."

As soon as Lei Cheng has finished speaking, Sky Wang immediately said in a loud voice: "Commander Lei Cheng is right! As he said if we all remain distributed like grains of sands, we have no hope of standing against the zombie army. We need to choose a leader to ensure that all of us fight together as one and overcome the zombie horde. I elect Commander Lei Cheng as our leader to direct this battle."

One Blade Xu announced: "Commander Lei is not wrong. We cannot continue like this. I second the nomination of having Commander Lei Cheng as the leader of the expedition against the zombies."

Among the men in the villa, there were also about ten others who supported Commander Lei Cheng as the leader.

But the rest of the other faction leaders chose to remain silent. They knew about having a single commander would be of great help to fight against the massive army of 100,000 zombies. But none of them was willing to be directed under the command of Lei Cheng.

Knowing Lei Cheng and his methods, Lei Cheng would surely send them to the frontlines without regards for their life. Even if the zombies were repelled, almost all or all of their men would undoubtedly die in battle. Without men, their power will be greatly reduced.

Each of these men hoped to conserve their forces and power. To these men, it would be best if others and the zombies were both gravely injured in this battle. Only then will they step in to reap the harvest.

Seeing that many of the men in the villa had chosen to remain silent, his eyebrow twitched. But he continued to smile as he announced: "Since everyone had supported me, I will step up and take leadership of all of you, and make sure everyone can overcome this crisis."

Seeing that Lei Cheng just assumed leadership on his own without their approval, each of the leaders of the factions was appalled. They glanced at one another, and their eyes seemed to speak volumes. But not a single one of them dared to object to Lei Cheng's seizure of power.

Lei Cheng represents the Military, and is the strongest power within LongHai Survivor Camp. He not only had a camp full of soldiers, but he also had supported many factions such as Big Knife Clan and Green Wolves Clan from behind the scenes. It is rumoured that he has close to of one-sixth of the population of LongHai Survival Camp working with him.

Among the rest of the men, only Yue Zhong has the power to challenge Lei Cheng for the post of the leader. If Yue Zhong did not object, none of the men is willing to jump out and face the wrath of the Lei Cheng. After all, Lei Cheng is a narrow-minded man and will get back at them in some way or another.

Gu Fei Fei was in a panic as she quickly asked Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong, why didn't you speak up? Right now, only you have the power to stop Lei Cheng."

Gu Fei Fei is not stupid. She knew that once all the powers had been united under Lei Cheng, her father's group's power will be greatly reduced after the fight with the zombies. It is also possible that Lei Cheng will swallow the entire power.

The only one who can stop Lei Cheng from uniting all the factions under his despotic rule is the man who is sitting in front of her – Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong looked that Lei Cheng who was standing high on the stage. He calmly replied to Gu Fei Fei. "Lei Cheng is not wrong. Only if all the factions work together can we overcome this crisis. Scattered grains of sands could not even hope to stop the massive numbers of zombie. Did you not noticed that not even a single government official attempt to stop him? If I am not wrong, they have already made an agreement with Lei Cheng, and approved of his action. Right now, our biggest enemy is not Lei Cheng, but rather, it is the zombies."

Although Yue Zhong did not like Lei Cheng's character, at this moment, Lei Cheng is the only one that could unite all the various factions and powers in LongHai Survivor Camp. Yue Zhong strength is not inferior to Lei Cheng, but he is an outsider. Both the government and military in LongHai will not allow him to take control of the various factions in LongHai Survivor Camp.

Yue Zhong could only close an eye to his dislike of Lei Cheng in the interest of the bigger picture – the army of zombies that will be attacking the survivor camp. LongHai Survival Camp has less than 7,000 survivors, and not of all these survivors are willing to fight. In contrast, the army of 100,000 zombies is united. Each and every one of the various factions and powers in LongHai Survivor Camp must stand united if they were to survive.

Yue Zhong could only watch in silent as Lei Cheng united the various factions under his banner.

Gu Yan Yi broke out in a bitter smile, and stopped Gu Fei Fei from saying anything else. "Fei Fei, stop it! Yue Zhong is not wrong. Right now, our mutual enemy is the zombie horde. If the zombies breach our defences, we will lose everything. Lei Cheng is not a good person, but he is he only one with the qualifications to unite the various factions and powers in LongHai Survivor Camp."

Ning Zi Xuan and the rest of the men also kept quiet. After Lei Cheng had united the various factions in LongHai Survivor Camp, his power will grow by leaps and bounds. The government will be greatly pressurised. But as Gu Yan Yi had pointed out, if LongHai Survivor Camp is overrun with zombies, they will lose everything.

The scenario of the day of the apocalypse was all chaos break loose reappeared in the minds of these men.

Lei Cheng glanced at Yue Zhong, and saw that Yue Zhong had no intention of standing out to challenge his leadership. He smiled in happiness, and announced: "Now that everyone is one family, some words are better said in advance. Right now we are in a crisis. A refusal to listen to orders may lead to the destruction of our camp. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, they will be punished under military law. I hope all of you are well-prepared (to follow my orders)."

Sky Wang and One Blade Xu dared not to be rash with Yue Zhong a moment ago as they were worried about spoiling Lei Cheng's chance of assuming leadership. If Yue Zhong had chosen to step up, it is debatable if Lei Cheng would win the support of the men.

Once Lei Cheng is angered, Sky Wang and One Blade Xu will be killed. After all, there are many more men who are willing to be Lei Cheng dogs.

Listening to Lei Cheng's words, each of leaders of various factions within LongHai Survivor Camp also felt a chill. But not a single one of them dared to say a word. Even the government did not say a word. Yue Zhong also did not stand out. Of course, they would not dare to say anything. They all knew that Lei Cheng would not hesitate to kill the first one who step out as an example to silence the rest of the critics. No one is willing to be the one who step out and made an example of.

Lei Sheng walked towards Yue Zhong, look at Ji Qing Wu, and politely invited Yue Zhong: "Captain Yue, my father invited you for a short discussion."

"Excuse me!"

Yue Zhong followed Lei Sheng towards a room inside the villa.

Lei Sheng led Yue Zhong towards a secret room, and then left him.

In the secret room was Lei Cheng and Chen Jian Feng.

Lei Cheng smiled as he saw Yue Zhong, and introduced himself: "You are Yue Zhong? I am Lei Cheng."

Looking at Lei Cheng, Yue Zhong eyes seemed to flash with a strange light, but he smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you, Commander Lei!"

Now that the two strongest men in LongHai Survivor Camp are seated in front of him, Yue Zhong would only need to reach out and could kill them at his leisure. But he did not do so. Because he is aware that if he kills them, the entire LongHai Survivor will erupt in chaos. Right now the most pressing issue is still the zombies.

As well, being the heads of the respective factions in LongHai Survivor Camp, they should have some [System] equipment that will enable them to protect themselves. If Yue Zhong failed to assassinate them, the Survivor Camp would also be in chaos.

Lei Cheng is a cunning man. He tried to test Yue Zhong's loyalty to him by asking: "Yue Zhong, what did you think of one commander commanding all the men?"

Yue Zhong seemed to be thinking over his question, before he finally said: "Having one commander is a very good thing. It can unite all units to combat the zombies. Commander Lei is really superb today. In one move, you have for uniting all the factions and powers in LongHai Survivor Camp under your leadership. During the time of war, I am sure that they will be a great asset in battling the zombies."

Yue Zhong had avoided mentioning his forces in his reply. Also, in saying that Commander Lei had united all the factions and powers in LongHai Survivor Camp, he is implying that his forces are not under the command of Lei Cheng. After all, his forces are not a faction nor power within LongHai survivor camp.

Lei Cheng is not a fool, having played politics for years. He could infer what Yue Zhong is saying from his speech. He looked very unhappy and tried to grab Yue Zhong's power by saying: "Yue Zhong, you are willing to bring soldiers to support our camp. This indicated that you were a man who has his country in his heart, and a hero who is willing to fight to protect his fellow man and country. Right now, you should be aware of the situation. If we cannot stand together as one, it would be impossible to fight against the 100,000 throng of zombies.

Only by having a single chain of command can we maximise the use of troops to defeat the zombies. I hope you can reconsider the big picture, and follow my orders. Let us fight as one to protect the citizens."

Lei Cheng was hoping that Yue Zhong will gift command of his soldier to him. Yue Zhong forces were quite strong, and is very good cannon fodqder.

Yue Zhong just ignored Lei Cheng words and immediately state his terms and conditions. "3,000 tonnes of food, 100,000 ammunition, 30 Tang Imitation Swords, 20 newbie staff, 5 tonnes of petrol. If you want me and my men to fight against the zombie with all I have, you must give me all these items. If you don't, I will immediately take all my men with me and leave the camp."

Lei Cheng's face become green with rage as he barked out: "You are taking advantage of the situation to rob us!"

Yue Zhong just coldly replied. "I have no relationship with this camp. Why do I need to bring my men and I to fight with these zombies and die? I am just a mercenary group that you hire to bring my troops to fight with you. The fact that I am willing to risk my life for your camp is already an act of mercy. As a mercenary group, did you really expect me to expend my own food and ammunition supplies to fight for you for free? Are you still dreaming? "

As far as Yue Zhong is concerned, all the talk that Lei Cheng had said is nothing but bullshit. If he really becomes the hero as spoken by Lei Cheng, the only fate waiting for him is the life of a vagabond. After Lei Cheng had used him, Lei Cheng would not hesitate to discard him.

Yue Zhong was willing to bring his troop to help the survivor camp is because of the 6,000 survivors. He did not come here to die. If Lei Cheng tries to use him and his troops as cannon folder, he will immediately forget about defending the camp, and retreat.

If there are insufficient ammunition, in the future all of Yue Zhong's troops could only engage in close combat with the zombies. Even if each of Yue Zhong's men took down 100 zombies before being slain, Yue Zhong would feel very heartbroken. After the apocalypse, each man is a valuable resource, and an elite troop is even more valuable.

After listening to Yue Zhong's speech, the room temperature seemed to drop by several degrees. All three men did not say another word, and just watched each other silently.

Chen Jian Fong broke the silence as he gave in partially: "Yue Zhong, your demands are too excessive. 3000 tonnes of food and newbie staff I can give to you. But I can only provide 10 Tang Imitation Swords, 30,000 ammo, and 2 tonnes of petrol. This is already the best we can give. I cannot give you any more than that."

Ammo and petrol are both valuable resources. 30,000 ammo and 2 tonnes of petrol are not a small sum. Chen Jian Feng could not give Yue Zhong so many items before the fight with the zombies.

Yue Zhong seemed to consider before nodding his head. "All right. Considering your relationship with Chen Yao, I will give you some face today."

After Yue Zhong had agreed to fight the zombies together with LongHai Survivor Camp, the atmosphere in the room seemed to brighten up. Each of the three men had their own reasons for wanting to defend the camp but all of them were united in this.

After this discussion, Lei Cheng also knew that he had no say in directing Yue Zhong's army. Both of them were only working together.

Chen Jian Feng knew that Yue Zhong had already scouted out the zombies. He asked, "Yue Zhong, what did you think about the fight against the zombies this time?"

"It is going to be a very hard fight. Today I have just investigated the zombies' movement. They were continuously increasing their numbers by absorbing all the zombies from the surrounding regions. I guess that after ten days, when they reach here, we will be facing a massive sea of zombies that numbered over 120,000 and above."

"May I suggest that we recruit all the men in this survivor camp, and train them. Then we arm them with weapons and have them fight the zombies. This is the only way we can protect the camp."

In Big Cliff Village, I have a steel factory that can produce 150 machetes and 150 shields a day. If I focus on production on machetes, I can increase the output to 300 machetes a day. After ten days, I should have 3000 machetes. This is enough to arm 3000 survivors. If you want, I can sell each machete to you for 50 bullets each. 3000 machete is 150,000 bullets."

Although Yue Zhong hopes that the survivor camp can overcome this crisis, he is not willing to give out his weapons for free. Big Cliff Village was taken with great difficulties. As well, making each machete requires a lot of effort. He will not give them away at a loss.

The survivor camp has close to 7000 people. About half of these are able-bodied men. If Chen Jian Feng is willing to issue an emergency order, he will be able to get 3000 more men to fight against the zombies.

After listening to Yue Zhong's words, Chen Jian Feng's and Lei Cheng's eyes seemed to shine with a bright light, then go dark again. This is a good idea, but 150,000 ammo is not a small sum. They were unwilling to give so many bullets to Yue Zhong.

Chen Jian Feng seemed to consider for a moment before he said: "No way! We do not have so many ammunitions to barter with you in exchange for the machetes. How about this, I will arrange for 1,000 survivors for you to train, and you will arm these men. These 1,000 survivors will be your man from now on. As an exchange, you gift us with 1,000 machetes. "

Yes Zhong nodded and agreed without a thought: "Sure!"

Previously, the survivor camp had restricted Yue Zhong from recruiting more men, and continuously inferred when Chen Shi Tou was trying to recruit more men. Even now, Yue Zhong finds it hard to gather more men to his camp.

The survivor camp lacks weapons, while Yue Zhong's team lack men. Now that Chen Jian Feng had taken out 1,000 survivors to exchange for 1,000 machetes, both parties had engaged in a win-win situation.

Yue Zhong continued: "But these 1,000 survivors, I only want young and healthy men. "

After the apocalypse, regardless if it is men or women, both are valuable resources. Men are usually, but not always, stronger than women, and trend to make better warriors [C2]. Women can do what men can't: give birth to children and increase the population. But right now, Yue Zhong needs more fighters. Therefore, he chooses what he thought made better warriors – young and healthy men.

Translator notes:

It would not matter if they were young and healthy man or middle-aged man or woman, mate. They all can fight. One hit from a zombie will result in zombie virus.

Chen Jian Feng's eyebrows twitched. He actually wanted to take advantage of Yue Zhong, by sending 1,000 old folks and the sick to Yue Zhong. On one hand, he could save on food supplies. On the other hand, he could prevent Yue Zhong from getting stronger. But Yue Zhong did not take the bait, and immediately asked for man who could directly fight.

Chen Jian Feng reconsidered, and re-negotiate: "I give you 500 young men, 700 women and 600 children."

In the age of apocalypse, the children only eat up the food supplies and are a liability. In this survivor camp, the food is insufficient, and the living conditions suck. Many children will mysteriously disappear or are captured by men for carnal pleasures. Chen Jian Feng knows that Yue Zhong treats the kids relatively well, and wish to hand over the kids to Yue Zhong's side.

It is because of these 600 children that Chen Jian Feng offered to give 200 more women more than the agreed amount of 1,000 survivors.

"Ok", Yue Zhong had seen through what Chen Jian Feng was thinking of, and did not press Chen Jian Feng further.

Right now, the situation is not very favourable for all parties, and Chen Jian Feng had already shown some sincerely. Yue Zhong did not want to pressurise them too much. After all, both sides have a common enemy.

Yue Zhong said: "I have a personal request: I hope that the survivor camp can allow all survivors to have enough to eat during these ten days. If needed, we can round them up and enable them to fight against the zombie as a last resort."

The majority of the survivors in the camp in the camp seldom have enough food to eat and have no strength to fight. If this goes on, after the zombie breached the gates, these survivors do not even have the strength to flee or fight back.

LongHai survivor camp may have jointly captured the granary in Shang Lin county and received a lot of food. But there is no new supply of food as the seeds could not germinate. The Survivor camp only allow survivors to drink some watery porridge to preserve their lives. Most of the survivors were hungry until they were nothing more than skin and bones. In the entire camp, other than the men from the special administrative region, there is no fat people.

Translator notes:

What about Lei Cheng? He is fat like a pig. He lives in the military camp and not the S.A.R

Chen Jiang Feng considered for a moment, and then he agreed.

But he was thinking "If we allow the survivors to eat, then they can work faster and harder to build barricade and walls. In this way, the main force can focus on attacking the enemy instead of creating these trenches, saving time and effort."

The three parties struck an agreement, and all of them left the secret room.

The next day, 500 men, 700 women and 600 kids were rounded up by Chen Jian Feng and handed over to Yue Zhong's side.

Yue Zhong immediately sent the women and children to Big Cliff Village and Stone Horse Village.

At the same time, Big Cliff Village continuously delivered machetes in batches to Yue Zhong and Chen Jian Feng.

Chen Jian Feng also rounded up 1,000 men and handed these men to Lei Cheng.

Lei Cheng assigned military trainers to train these men. He does not require these men to become elite fighting troops, but just hope they would be of some use against the zombies.

Also, Chen Jian Feng also rounded up all the remaining men to dig holes and trenches, and there were many trenches surrounding the camp.

The zombies are stupid and attack in swarms. Although these holes are useless against human, but it should trap several hundreds of zombies.

From Shang Lin County to the Survivor Camp, there is nowhere to defend in safety. Yue Zhong did not wish to engage the zombies in an open field, where they had the advantage of numbers. Even he had several IFVs, the zombies have numerous H1 zombies that could blow these vehicles apart. If there are trenches, this will make it easier for the defenders.

The evolved zombies had complicated matters. If it just regular zombies, 100 IFVs with enough ammo should be sufficient to destroy these rubbishes. But with the evolved zombies like H1 zombies, they could fight back.

Ten days later, Yue Zhong was looking out of the wall of the camp when he heard a sharp cry from Little Greenie. Yue Zhong turned pale, and told Kong Tianyu: "The zombies are here, inform all of them to retreat inside the city walls."

Kong Tianyu immediately left and carried out the command.

All the people who were digging trenches outside quickly and fearfully rushed through the doors of the camp.

In the mad scramble to get back to the city, several men were knocked onto the floor and trampled to death by the horde of men. Nobody cared about those who died. Everyone was focused on their own safety as they rushed into the city. There was no order, and no queue as everyone jostled to get to safety.

At the gates, it quickly became chaotic as there were sounds of scuffles, crying and shouting. The zombies had not even appeared, but the survivors were already in a state of Chaos.

After a while, the survivors finally had some resemble of order under the leadership of the government officials, and entered into the city.

The survivors had just entered the city when the sentries on duty at the city wall notice the horde of zombies.

When they saw the sea of zombie that seemed to sweep aside all in its path, all the men on the city walls could not help feeling scared. There zombie horde was very massive, and seemed to be never ending, and it brings with it a feeling that could swallow everything in its path as it creeped towards LongHai Survivor camp.

Seeing the approach of these legions of zombies, almost everyone turned pale and began to shook uncontrollably.

Once they thought that they must engage the zombie that were as numerous as colonies of ants, many of the men were frightened out of their wits.

Only Yue Zhong's elite team of men who had fought against the zombies on numerous occasions could look at the sea of zombie with a keen and calm eyes.

Even the 700 men who just been trained by Yue Zhong's team immediately turned pale, and they trembled uncontrollably.

With each step the sea of zombies advance, the more pressure the men on the walls felt. If not for the 6m tall wall, almost all the men would be scared senseless and have long fled.

"Captain Yue, there are surely more than 100,000 zombies?" Kong Tianyu, who was standing by Yue Zhong's side, remarked. His face looked very grim.

The number of zombies was much more than when Yue Zhong first encountered them. It was like the march of a colony of army ants. The zombie horde in Big Cliff village could not be compared to this threat.

"I think so" Yue Zhong also felt a suffocating pressure from the number of zombies. Seeing the sea of zombies, even with the wall, he had no confidence in successfully defending the camp.

Although there were 6,000 survivors in the camp, those who have the courage to fight against the zombie numbered less than 1,000.

1,000 vs 100,000. Each man must kill 100 or more zombies. This is really mission impossible!

Luckily the Z series of zombies were not too smart. They only know of one tactic: To overwhelm with numbers.

As they proceed forwards, Chen Jian Feng's trap of building trenches and holes went to work. Each zombie that fell into the trap ended up falling prone. Then the zombies behind them continued to fall into the pit on top of them and so on, crushing the ones at the bottom of the pit.

This continues until each trench was filled to the brim with the bodies of zombies. Then the zombie horde behind will step on the corpses of the fallen to cross each trench.

With the massive number of zombies crushing those who had fallen, those that fell into the trap never got up again.

About 2,000 zombies were stuck in the trenches, and their corpses were used to fill the trenches. But the throngs of zombies did not even faltered or slowed at all. The loss of 2,000 zombies were quickly forgotten as the sea of zombies continued to surge forwards.

When the zombies are about 100 m away from the wall where Yue Zhong was supposed to guard, Yue Zhong immediately commanded "Fire at will!"

From Yue Zhong's team, each elite marksman continuously shoots towards the zombies, and many zombies were taken out of with headshots and collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

Yue Zhong is in charge of guarding the East gate, while the North, West, South gates are under the supervision of Lei Cheng's subordinates.

The majority of Lei Cheng's men are new soldiers who have not experienced combat with zombies nor have much military training. As soon as the zombies were in sight about 200 m away, they immediately panic and madly fire all their weapons at the zombie horde.

Under the hail of bullet, many zombies were cut down by the heavy fire.

But it also depleted Lei Cheng's ammo at a very rapid pace. Most of the soldier used up a magazine of bullets and quickly changed their magazines with trembling hands. After a short while, they emptied their clip and changed their magazines again.

The hail of fire in the West, North and South wall never ceased. Each of heavy machine guns did not even rest once. Hundreds of zombies were torn apart by the bullet storm

"Stop firing! You are not allowed to fire without my orders. Those who failed to obey orders will be shot!" a veteran soldier was able to see that something is wrong, and immediately started shouting orders.

Mankind has made rapid technology advancement, especially with firearms. The guns of today can continuously shot out a steady stream of bullets at a very rapid pace. If these untrained soldiers did not exercise restraint and continued to frantically shoot, all the bullet supplies in Long Hai Survivor Camp will be used up in one day.

Without bullet, LongHai survivor camp could not hope to withstand the might of a 100,000 zombie army.

Most of the soldiers had been given less than 2 months of training. Each soldier only had 50 bullets. The sea of zombie were thick and everywhere. Even if they blindly shoot, their bullets would hit a zombie. But to have a headshot is a different matter. Their accuracy at a pace of 200 m away was still lacking.

Under the command of the veteran soldiers, the soldiers stopped firing blindly and begun to shoot at the zombies in short bursts.

With a brief respite, many zombies that were shot down by the bullets storm slowly got up and walked shakily towards the walls.

Seeing the shooting of these recruits has little to no effect on the zombies, the officials began to change their strategy. "Do not shoot! Let them come closer before we shoot!"

The walls around the area are 6m tall. The 6m wall is their best defence.

Under the command of the officials, the West, North and South Gates all stopped firing and allow the horde of zombies to get closer and close to the gates.

Not long after, there are countless numbers of zombies outside these three gates.

These zombies tried to use their claws to strike at the city walls, but it was ineffective. Without the evolved zombies, even 100,000 normal zombies will not be able to break down the city door.

"Open Fire". At this time, Lei Cheng's officials finally give the command to engage the zombies.

Seeing that the terrifying zombies could not do anything but to remain outside the gates, the soldiers then relax a bit. Under the command of the officials, they begin to fire at the zombies below.

At this distance, with a height advantage, each bullet quickly struck the zombies on their head, and these zombies collapsed.

After seeing the scary zombies were easily killed by their bullets, the soldiers were more at eased, and began to muster their courage.

Lei Sheng was on a city wall, and watching the zombies being slaughtered like dogs, he started to relax. "These zombies are not scary at all. Don't say 100,000, even 200,000 of them is nothing."

"After killing these zombies, all I had to do is to raid the Shang Lin military camp, and get the guns and ammo. Thereafter, I just need to capture each town by cleansing it of zombies. If we continue like this, my dream of conquering the entire country is not just a dream." Lei Cheng's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. At first all he want is control of LongHai Survivor Camp. Now he wants to control all of China.

Just when the soldiers got things under control, there was suddenly change. From the horde of zombies, 200 L2 zombies appeared near the wall. Each L2 zombies had an L1 zombie in their hands.

As soon as they were within range, these L2 zombies threw the L1 zombies up towards the top of the wall.

These L2 zombies were all massive hulks and possessed incredible strength. Under their throw, the L1 zombie were like cannonball as they were launch on top on the walls.

A few L1 zombies went 'splat' on the city walls and decorated it with a ketchup stain. But most of the L1 zombies were successfully launched among the defenders on top of the wall.

"Zombies!"

Seeing the zombies that managed to drop among the mean, most of the new soldiers turned pale. Many of them immediately dropped their weapons and ran away.

[To be continued…]

Censorship again (Sigh):

男人的身体平均素质都要比女人强，是最好的战士。女人能够生孩子，是繁衍族群和人口的宝贵资源。

Directly translate as "Men are much stronger than women, and are the best warriors. Woman can give birth, and is a valuable resource for increasing the population."

Sounds like the author looked down on women's value, and make it look like giving birth is all a woman is worth. Many women in the police and military can fight as well as if not better than men.

So what I did:

Men are usually, but not always, stronger than women, and trend to make better warriors. Women can do what men can't: give birth to children and increase the population.

Censor 2:

可是当前岳重需要的是能够战斗的战斗人员, blah blah blah….,岳重自然会挑选青壮年男子。

Directly translate as "But now Yue Zhong wants those that can fight, and he will naturally choose the young and healthy men."

What happened to middle-aged men and women? They could fight too.

So what I did: But right now, Yue Zhong needs more fighters. Therefore, he chooses what he thought would make better warriors – young and healthy men.

If it was just shooting zombies from afar, it would be fine with the novice soldiers. But taking on zombies in close combat requires a lot of guts. Guts that these new soldiers do not have.

Lei Cheng's soldiers were mostly comprised of new soldiers who only been trained for three months, and have zero practical combat experience. Asking these soldiers to shoot at the zombies is all and well with them. But to get them to engage the zombies in close combat, that is mission impossible.

The veteran soldiers immediately turned annoyed and shot the soldiers who fled, while shouting: "All deserters who flee will be shot on sight!"

The veteran soldiers killed several soldiers. Under the threat of death, the new soldiers dare not run away, and took up their guns and shoot at the L1 zombies.

Some of the L1 zombies managed to land on top of a group of soldiers, and smashed them into a pulp. Then these L1 zombies immediately began a biting spree as the zombies chomped down on the soldiers nearby. Each bite creates a horrifying wound, and the soldiers' flesh were ripped off. The soldiers cries of pains and struggles under the L1 zombies' bite only seek to add fear to the atmosphere.

The rest of the troops proved to be merciless towards the men who were bitten as a hail of bullets ripped towards the L1 zombies and the eaten men, tearing them into a bloody mash. Even more L1 zombies had yet to get up from the floor before a stream of bullets were fired at them.

But the zombies are different from men. As long as their heads were not hit, they were able to get up and fight again. Even if the L1 bodies were filled with countless bullet holes, as long as its head or its spine is not broken, these creatures have no problems getting up again.

At the same time, the L2 zombies began to grab the normal zombies around them and toss these zombies towards the wall. Many of these zombies were thrown into the ranks of the men, creating even more chaos.

But the regular zombies were different from the strength and toughness enhanced L1 zombies. These ordinary zombies were relatively weak, and most of the standard zombies were either smashed into meat paste from the impact, or had their vertebra shattered.

Those standard zombies that had their bones broken from the impact could not stand up, but they continued to crawl towards the men in their insatiable lust for blood.

These common zombies were not as dangerous nor as threatening as the L1 zombies. But seeing the zombies restlessly crawling towards the men with faces filled with bugs and maggots were especially terrifying to the fresh recruits. Many of these recruits face turned white with fear, and they involuntarily peed in their pants. If not the fact that the veteran soldiers would shoot them if they try to run, they would have fled long ago.

The zombies on top of the wall continued to increase in numbers as more and more zombies were lurched into the wall. The death count of the soldier continued to rise steadily. Not long after, the death count had risen to thirty men, and the defenders' situation look more and more hopeless. The tide of the battle seemed to shift towards the zombies.

"Fire the cannons and concentrate all fire towards the L2 zombies!"

Under the roar of the commanding officers, the heavy artillery team finally let loose their power, and several explosive shells were launched towards the L2 zombies.

"Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!!!"

Following the sound of the massive explosions, many of the L2 zombies and the zombies surrounding the L2 zombies were blown apart into dust.

As if the heavy shelling had set off a chain reaction, all the firepower the military possessed were crazily fired at the sea of zombies. Under the scary golden hail of bullets, many of the zombies within the range of the weapons were like as if a massive invisible scythe mowed them.

At the same time, the evolvers within the military began to take action. They grabbed their Tang Imitation swords and rushed towards the zombies that managed to get on the wall, and began the grim task of clearing these zombies.

Under the firestorm of bullets, the tide of the battle began to change and shifted towards the human's favour.

In the east gate where Yue Zhong was guarding, the elite marksmen were unable to stop the tide of zombies from advancing. Other than the elite marksmen, Yue Zhong had not allowed his men to open fire at the zombie horde. Therefore, Yue Zhong faced the same situation as the rest of the gates – a massive swarm of zombies soon filled the area below the walls, and several L1 zombies were launched into the top of the wall.

Yue Zhong was surprised by this tactics employed by the zombies. But he was very pleased with this outcome, as he yelled, "Close combat team 1 and team 2, these are all yours!"

Twenty-four men wielding Tang Imitation Sword and dressed Water Python Snakeskin armour immediately took action as they rushed forwards and hacked at the L1 zombies.

These L1 zombies had not even regained their footing before they were cut down by the close combat team members. Each of the L1 zombies was a level 10 creature. With each kill, a vast experience orb flew into the level 6 close combat team members, and allowed these men to evolve.

Without the threat of regular zombies distracting them from fully utilizing their teamwork skills, killing an L1 zombie did not pose much of a threat to the team of close combat evolvers.

At the east gate where Yue Zhong was guarding, fifty L2 zombies continuously launch standard zombies towards the walls. The twenty-four close combat team members did not have sufficient time to clear all the zombies that attacked in the first wave before the second wave of zombies were flung towards them.

White Bones began to move, and attacked the normal zombies tossed by the second wave of attack.

Seeing the number of zombies was steadily increasing, Yue Zhong immediately ordered, "Close combat team 5 and team 6, engage this new threat!"

Close combat team 5 and team 6 are new close combat team. Each of these team members was only about level 2. Although they could not be compared to the first four teams regarding evolution and battle ability, they were made up of men who have shown bravery and skills.

After the close combat team 5 and 6 entered the fight, the clean-up of the regular zombies proceed relatively smooth. These zombies could only crawl on the ground and were to the faster-moving men, an excellent source of experience orbs. As soon as the regular zombies landed on an area, the men surrounding it will quickly rush up to kill it.

"Luckily these zombies are relatively stupid, or we would be in great danger." Yue Zhong was looking at the zombies that were thrown at the walls, and he could not help but to think in this way.

If the zombies combined all their strongest forces and focused on one of the walls, two hundred L2 zombies can toss two hundred zombies at once into the wall. If this happens, the Lei Cheng's team would be in grieve danger.

Lei Cheng has 600 men, but these men were divided into three gates. Therefore, each gate only had about 200 men. Also, he needed to leave aside some men for emergencies. Stopping the advance of these zombies would be a colossal task for him.

If one observed the battle from the sky, they would find a strange sight. Only in the East gate would the sounds of gunfire occasionally and rhythmically rang out in short bursts. But in the other three gates, the sound of gunfire and cannons were deafening and fierce.

The firepower of the weapons of today was extremely vicious and powerful. The zombies were all mowed down by the best firepower that modern technology can boast of.

In particular, the heavy artillery guns that use massive bullets were explementary in mowing down scores of zombies. Each bullet can tear a huge hole through the body of humans, ripping apart flesh and bone in a single hit. These zombies could not hope to withstand the might of technology's finest firearms.

The zombies in the West, North and South gates were completely suppressed by the firepower, and most of the zombies within the range of the firearms were swallowed up in a sea of explosion and bullets.

Xu Zhenggang saw the battle situation and immediately ordered his men. "Stop firing! Stop firing!"

While the effectiveness of these firearms is indisputable, it is also a fact that these firearms were consuming the limited bullet supply at a very rapid rate. It was like there was a big hole in the bottom of a massive jar filled with water, and the bullets were gushing out of the jar extremely quickly like water. If this continues, all the bullets would be quickly used up.

Under the command of the officers, all of the men in the West, North and South gates stop firing. Only the snipers in the army continued to pick off the zombies by firing at the head of each of zombies.

Once there is a ceasefire, many of the zombies slowly crawl up again. Many of the zombies had holes in their bodies. Some of the zombies have lost an arm or leg, or their guts were dangling out of their bodies, but still they got up, or crawled towards the gate. As long as their heads and spine were intact, they would be able to get up again and again.

If these bullets were to be used against men, the men will be gravely injured and would be unable to fight anymore. However, the wounds were nothing to the zombies that uncaringly crept towards the walls again.

The L2 zombies also got up from the ground. Although the cannon fire was very powerful and had a huge blast radius, it was not very good when it comes to directly targeting of zombie's head. Only about slightly more than ten zombies were blown into shreds by a direct hit from the cannons. The rest of the L2 zombies were sent flying by the force of the explosion. But the majority of shrapnel pieces that explode outwards landed on their massive body or hands, and did not otherwise affect them at all.

Of course, the standard zombies that were caught in a cannon's blast radius had been long turned into dust. But the L2 zombies had enhanced strength and toughness that allowed them to survive an indirect hit from the explosion and shrapnel bits.

Looking at the L2 zombies that continued to get up, most of the men felt their hearts sank. Many of the soldiers were terrified. If the cannons could not kill these L2 monsters, they have no idea of what they need to use to kill the L2 zombies.

As soon as the L2 stood up, they immediately walked towards the wall, and continued to throw zombies at the wall.

"Evolvers, all attack!"

This time, the military had already made preparations. Under their command, the evolvers from various factions of Longhai Survival Camp were assigned to fight against the zombies that were thrown onto the wall.

There were over 100 evolvers from both the military and the various factions in LongHai Survivor camp. Once these evolvers joined the battle, the regular zombies were quickly slain. Each evolver is different from the recruits – they had experienced combat with the zombies before, and was not afraid of the standard zombie. Killing the regular zombies that had been thrown onto the wall is but a mere matter for these evolvers.

It was like giving these evolvers more experience orbs.

The tide of the battle slowly returned to a standstill. Each of the four gates rang out occasional sounds of gunfire. These are from the gunshots from the elite marksmen and snipers.

If one bullet could kill a single zombie, the ammunition in the Survival Camp is more than enough to destroy the zombies many times over. But in reality, other than the snipers and elite marksmen, the rest of the men need to expand about twenty or more bullets to hit a zombie on its head.

The throng of zombies was clustered tightly together. Hitting a zombie is not a difficult issue. But hitting the head of these zombie is the difficult part. The bullets that landed on other regions of the zombie body were ineffective against the zombie horde.

Translator notes:

I thought they were shooting from a height advantage of 6m? When you try to shoot from a height advantage, what you should you see are heads of zombies. Hitting heads should not be too hard. I mean from the top view, you should see only heads and shoulders and not the body of the zombies. If you are on even ground, then it is harder to aim for the head of zombies.

Yue Zhong's team of elite marksmen had been continuously shooting at the zombies with their type 03 rifles. Their marksmanship is superb, and within 100m, each shot of their gun could blow apart the brains of a zombie with unerring accuracy. Several zombies were continuously fell from their headshots.

The twelve elite marksmen were very calm and composed as they continually adjusted the aim, reload and pick up new targets. Under their shooting skills, scores of zombies had already fallen.

Of these twelve elite marksmen, about seven of these are former professional soldiers who had joined Yue Zhong. Five of the men are survivors who had shown extreme promise with their marksmanship during their encounter with the zombies.

These professional soldiers had all participated in the battle to free Qing Yuan County (where the survival camp was currently located in) and have survived various dangerous missions. Almost all of them are used to battle. If not for the fact that Yue Zhong needed some of them to operate the IFVs and heavy weapons, Yue Zhong could have got more marksmen.

"First shooting team, get down!" Yue Zhong had just shot a zombie when he saw that L1 zombies hosted several H1 zombies in their hands. He immediately felt a sense of danger and roar out the warning. Immediately after, he lay on the floor, flat on his stomach.

The twelves marksman heard Yue Zhong's order, and although they did not understand why, they complied with Yue Zhong command and immediately lie flat on the ground.

At the next moment, over 20 H1 zombies launched series balls of fire on the walls. Each ball of fire was devastating effective, and blasted several shallow potholes, with the debris scattering everywhere. Had they act a second later, the marksmen would be killed by this attack.

With the danger sense of Yue Zhong, the men in the East Gate was much better off compared to the men in the other gates. The attack of the H1 zombies had killed twenty-three snipers and elite marksmen, dealing a heavy blow to the military.

Under the covering fire of the H1 zombies, several Level 20 boss hunters crawled out of the zombie horde, and quickly reached the wall. Each boss Hunter had a long tail, fours limbs filled with sharps claws and a sleek black body.

These agile Hunters climbed onto the hands of the L2 zombie, and using the great height of the L2 zombies and their hands as a ladder, quickly jumped up and reached the top of the wall.

Many S2 zombies also followed after the hunter zombies, and used the L2 zombies as a ladder to climb on the wall.

As soon as the first hunter entered the wall, White Bones immediately rushed up with its massive axe and cleave apart a hunter. As well, Little Greenie also pecked a hunter to death with its sharp beaks. Yue Zhong was also alarmed by the hunters and immediately fired his stinger gun, and with three shots, managed to kill three hunters.

Ten hunters made it to the East Gate. Yue Zhong, White Bones and Little Green had managed to kill five of these zombies. But the remaining five of the zombies rushed forwards toward the rest of the men.

The four teams of evolvers also bravely charged towards the hunters.

Three of the hunters were quick and silent as a ghost and entered in the midst of the men in the span of a few heartbeats. Their claws flash out, and three low-level evolvers were send flying for 7 to 8 meters and were seriously injured by strength of each blow.

Two of the hunters opened their mouths, and their dexterous tongues immediately impaled itself on the brains of two of these evolvers, and killed them outright.

It was the first time that Yue Zhong's team have a casualty.

At this time, several S2 zombies also joined the battle. Yue Zhong, White Bones and Little Greenie were locked in fierce combat against these new threats and were unable to make their way towards the hunters that were slaughtering their men.

"Damn it" Yue Zhong immediately launched his shadow step skills, and his speed increased exponentially. Like a ghost, he wove in and out of the zombies as he decapitated an S2 zombie with each swing of his Tang Blade.

In the span of a breath, three S2 Zombies were killed by Yue Zhong.

Little Greenie and White Bones also continuously killed the S2 zombies that scampered up the wall. The problem is the number of S2 zombies was too many, and they could not kill enough of these zombies.

After activating the shadow steps, Yue Zhong continuously killed numerous S2 zombies, while protecting the vulnerable elite marksmen. These twelve elite snipers were not equipped with Water Python Snakeskin armour, and if they were hit by an S2 zombie's claws, they would be infected.

The death of each elite marksmen will hurt Yue Zhong significantly. The most the important aspects of these snipers is that their skills are equally useful against zombies or human beings.

The regular evolvers are very helpful when fighting against zombies, but against marksmen, one bullet is all it take to kill them.

The [System] level up only enhanced the physical attributes of a human, but it does not strengthen the body to withstand bullets. Without the aid of protective items, it is impossible for an evolver to resist a shot from a firearm.

"Team 13 and Team 15, come and assist!!" Yue Zhong continued to kill zombies as he shouted out aloud.

Team 13 is under the leadership of Ji Qing Wu, while Team 15 is under the guidance of Chen Shi Tou. Under Yue Zhong's command, they swiftly entered the battlefield.

With a swipe of its mighty claws, it swats aside one of the close combat team members as if it was swatting a fly. Three Tang Imitation Swords cut into its flesh, and created three long wounds. But these swords lacked the strength to cut any deeper into its body. The Hunter flipped its tail and sent two of the men flying with but a single blow.

"Go and die, you fucker!" at the time, Kong Tianyu activated his Surge in Strength 1 skill. The ability granted Kong Tianyu a colossal amount of strength for a short duration of 5 minutes. With his enhanced strength, his blade easily craved apart the skull of a Hunter.

A massive orb of experience entered into his body.

After Ji Qing Wu entered the battlefield, she immediately activated her Cutting edge enhancement skill, as well as her Increased agility skill. As she charged past a Hunter, there was a flash of light and the Hunter was immediately cut into four pieces, and its blood and body parts were scattered in all directions.

Another Hunter flicked out its tongue and like an arrow, aimed towards Ji Qing Wu.

Ji Qing Wu immediately cut off the tongue of Hunter with her blade, and moving very rapidly, closed in on the Hunter that attacked her.

The Hunter was enraged with pain as its tongue was sliced off. It immediately strikes out at Ji Qing Wu with a claw, and at the same time, its long flexible tail immediately lashed out towards Ji Qing Wu's head.

Unlike normal zombies, the Hunter had evolved some ability to think. In fighting with the humans, it had learnt that these men are unique. Their bodies are robust and are difficult to hack apart. But the brains of these humans are unprotected.

Against the Hunter's deadly attack, Ji Qing Wu did not show a trace of fear. At the time when the Hunter and Ji Qing Wu passed by each other, there was a flash of light. Then the Hunter was spilt into four pieces, and its blood spurted in all directions.

Under the effects of the cutting edge enhancement skills, the Tang Imitation Sword in Ji Qing Wu's hands was a weapon with unparalleled sharpness. This ability, combined with Ji Qing Wu's swordsmanship skills, created a superb close combat fighter that is without peer.

Of the five Hunters that made it among the men, three of them were killed by Ji Qing Wu and Kong Tianyu. The remaining two Hunters did not engage in further combat with Yue Zhong's troops and immediately tried to creep down towards the residents.

Yue Zhong raised his stinger gun at a Hunter and pulled the trigger. The stinger bullet was fired with unerring accuracy and it blew apart a Hunter's head into bits. The last remaining Hunter leapt down from the wall in an attempt to escape.

But there was still an IFV that was waiting down below, and as soon as the Hunter leapt down, the men manning the IFV immediately used the type ZPT 90 25 mm autocannon and sprayed a thick chain of bullets towards it.

The Hunter was unable to withstand the might of armour piercing rounds of the autocannon, and was shredded apart by the hail of fire.

Yue Zhong has placed the IFV and two jeeps armed with type 89 QJZ 8mm heavy machine guns as the second line of defence against the zombie horde.

After killing another S2 zombie with his blade, Yue Zhong roared a command "All units fire and destroy the L2 zombies!"

If the L2 zombies continued to send more and more zombies into the city, it would be impossible to defend. The S2 zombies that poured into the city are not what regular evolvers can handle.

Under Yue Zhong's command, the three type 89 QJZ 8mm heavy machine guns mounted on the walls let it rip.

These bullets landed among the zombies, and most of the zombies were knocked down from the firepower of these heavy machine guns. Standard zombies would have a massive hole where the bullets hit them, and it is common for a string of three to four bullets to separate the top half of the zombie from its bottom half.

These L2 zombies may be extremely robust, and it could withstand gunfire from most ordinary weapons, but its tough skin could not withstand the bullets from this heavy machine guns.

One by one, the L2 that acts as a bridge was shot down. Although these L2 zombies had fallen, they were not killed. It just provided a brief respite from the unending stream of S2 zombies.

Without additional reinforcements, Yue Zhong and the close combat men the six teams finally destroyed all the S2 zombies.

This wave of zombies attack with its uncommon methods of siege warfare had cost Yue Zhong dearly. Two of the twelve elite marksmen had been scratched by S2 zombies, and must be put down. Also, the 4 of the men from the close combat team has been killed, and seven men were seriously injured. In one wave, Yue Zhong had lost 13 valuable men.

But Yue Zhong's team had killed nine Hunters and thirty-two S2 zombies, and managed to hold the line.

The Second Generation zombies are somewhat rare, and are elite troops. Having killed so many evolved zombies, the men guarding the East Gate can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hello, Yue Zhong! Is that Yue Zhong? The West Gate could not hold on. Please, can you bring some soldiers to help out. Please? If you do not help out, the West Gate could not be defended."

Just as Yue Zhong killed all the evolved zombies, the walkie talkie rang out with Lei Sheng's shouts for help.

Yue Zhong immediately replied. "All right, I will bring men to assist immediately."

In this time of crisis, where there is an army of over 100,000 zombies, all of the men must be united, or they could not even hold on for one day.

"Kong Tian Yu. You are in charge of defending this area! Cheng Yu, close combat team 1 and team 2 members follow me!"

The first combat team and the second combat team members are all the elite members of Yue Zhong's team. After experiencing the last battle, many men had reached Level 10. Yue Zhong also gifted these men with an assortment of skill books, and allowed all the men who broke through the level 10 bottleneck to learn a skill, hence increasing their combat effectiveness.

Two military trucks containing all the men steadily made their way towards the West gate. The streets were clear and there were no obstacles in the way. As a result, they quickly reached the West gate.

As he disembarked from the vehicle, he found that the West Gate had already been breached. The military had already retreated towards the area under the West Gate walls, and there were two IFV, steel mash wire fence, heavy machine guns and light firearms that were frantically trying to stop the horde of zombies from overrunning the defences and pour into the city.

One by one S2, S1, L1 as well as regular zombies continuously pour down from the West Gate walls. After that, most of the zombies were torn apart by the heavy firepower.

Several Hunters, recognising the danger on walking on the street, chose to crept on rooftops as they stealthily made their way past the barricade.

A burly middle age man seemed to cast a spell, and five balls of fire appeared in the air, and flew towards one of the Hunters.

The Hunter was very agile and managed to avoid four of the fireballs. But it was hit by the last fireball, and the fireball created a large hole in its body. It lost its balance and dropped down from the roof.

The next moment, countless numbers of bullets created a barrier of ammunition, and sent the hunter to meet its maker.

The two Type 90 ZPT 25 mm autocannon on top of the two IFVs had not ceasefire all these while. The massive firepower was particularly effective against zombies, tearing huge holes in regular zombies' bodies. Even the S2 series of zombies will be split apart if it is hit with an armour piercing round from the deadly weapon.

Lei Sheng walked towards Yue Zhong, and faintly heaved a sigh of relief. "Yue Zhong, you are finally here. Thank you for bringing soldiers to help out!"

The zombie horde suddenly activated H1 zombies, Hunters, S2 zombies, etc., and within a short span of time, the number of soldiers in the West Gate that were lost to the zombies were terrible. The military and the various factions had lost more than 80% of their men, and all the snipers had been destroyed.

The West gate was deemed as lost, and Lei Sheng brought his soldiers and retreated to the second line of defence.

The other two gates also suffered heavy lost in the zombie attacks. But one of the gates was defended by government commandos, polices and military police. The reserved military forces secured the other gate. Both sides were engaged in fierce combat with the zombies, and have no men to spare.

That was why Lei Sheng requested Yue Zhong for help.

The wall is very important to the defenders. As long as there is a wall, the normal zombies could not swarm into the city, and use their numbers to overwhelm the defenders. With the wall, the defenders are more likely to breathe easy and are more willing to fight. Therefore the importance of the wall could not be stressed enough.

"Who is that man?" Yue Zhong looked the man who continuously launched fireballs at the hunter.

Lei Sheng just take a quick look and immediately replied: "He is Flame King Gu"

"His strength is indeed extraordinary!" Yue Zhong thought.

Flame King Gu continuously launched one fire ball after another on the evolved zombies and Hunters, and killed these evolved zombies. Those that were injured were immediately torn into shreds by the rain of covering fire.

But Flame King Gu was heavily panting, and perspiring heavily. After a short while he sat down on the ground, and no longer had the strength to stand out.

Releasing each type of powerful attack had a drawback: It will rapidly drain stamina and spiritual power. Flame King Gu had expended a considerable amount of stamina and spiritual power to lay covering fire and to buy time for the last 20% of the defenders to retreat. Right now, he was totally drained.

Report chapter

If not for the assistance of Flame King Gu, all the men guarding the West Gate would be wiped out by the horde of Hunters and S2 zombies.

Yue Zhong asked, "How many more evolvers do you still have?"

Lei Sheng pointed towards five men who were sitting down with shocked expressions on their faces, and replied, "Only these men remains."

Hunters and S2 zombies were really too strong. If not for the fact that Yue Zhong's men had Water Python Snakeskin Armour, there would be a lot more casualties. Also, a single strike from the Hunters or S2 zombies will immediately infect the soldiers. Once the soldiers are infected, there is only death waiting for them.

Lei Sheng's men did not have the luxury of equipping Water Python Snakeskin armours. Therefore, the casualty were nothing short of horrible. Having proper equipment is essential for the men to fight well.

Yue Zhong thought for a moment before replying. "Cheng Yu, Gu Tie, Zhao Ming, the three of you stay here and protect Lei Sheng. Let them stop firing. Also, let me take command of these five evolvers. I will bring some men to get back the wall."

Yue Zhong and Lei Sheng may be working together, but Yue Zhong could not trust Lei Sheng. If Lei Sheng fired at them with the IFVs while Yue Zhong and his team are engaged in close combat, the entire team would be wiped out.

The Water Python Snakeskin armour may block normal bullets, but it would be useless against the armour penetrating bullets of the ZPT 90 type 25mm autocannon.

Lei Sheng also understood why Yue Zhong had left Cheng Yu and the other two men. In this critical junction where the zombie horde is at risk of overrunning the West Gate, he chose to turn a blind eye. Instead, he asked the five evolvers over, "Li Zhou, from now on, the five of you are under the command of Yue Zhong. Understand?"

"Yes!" Li Zhou replied loudly, and cast his sights on Yue Zhong and his men.

About 80% of the men in Yue Zhong's team have evolved beyond level 10, and killed numerous zombie. Each of the men radiates killing intent from their body and look ferocious and terrifying.

"Woahhh…. Under a tiger's leadership, there can be no helpless animals. [1]" Thought Li Zhou, as he brought his team of four evolvers to join up with Yue Zhong's men.

"Stop firing!" Lei Sheng gave the command to stop firing.

All the men immediately stopped firing. At the same time, the zombie horde began to move again.

After the loss of the West wall, numerous zombies have taken advantage of the Chaos to enter the city. The zombie horde now includes normal zombies, S2, S1, L1 as well as Hunter zombies.

The East gate also had ten Hunters that sneaked into the Survivor camp to attack. These Hunters are far more cunning and proficient in battle compared to the other zombies.

In guarding the East Gate, Yue Zhong and company only managed to kill five of the hunters, while the remaining five sneaked towards the rest of the men, and used the rest of the men as a cover to prevent further attacks. It is fortunate that Ji Qing Wu, Kong Tianyu, the IFV and Yue Zhong managed to finish off the last five hunters before they escape and wreak more carnage among the defenceless population in the Survivor camp.

"Charge!!!" Yue Zhong led his team and White bones towards the wall and ran up to meet the zombies.

Very quickly, Yue Zhong and his team clashed with the zombies.

Yue Zhong's speed is almost seven times the speed of ordinary men. Although his swordsmanship skills are not as remarkable as Ji Qing Wu's, his speed and strength are extraordinary. The Level 2 Tang Sabre in his hand did not cease as it relentlessly attacked, and with each swing of his blade, heads of zombies flew out in all directions. Even the mighty S2 zombies could not withstand a single blow from Yue Zhong's Sabre.

Not a single zombie could halt the descent of Yue Zhong's blade. His sabre was insanely fast, so fast that the men who were watching did not even see him attacking. They only saw flashes of reflected light from his sabre, and then zombies near Yue Zhong would instantly be decapitated.

White Bones who was standing next to Yue Zhong seemed to be a whirlwind as it swings its massive axe in a vast circular motion. As zombies around stepped into the whirling vortex, their flesh parted and their bones shattered. These body parts would be send scattering in all directions.

With Yue Zhong and White Bones leading the charge, they soon cleared a small path for the men to follow. But the men in Yue Zhong's team are not any less fierce or deadly. Each of them would occasionally strike out at zombies that got too close to them, and was able to kill zombies easily with just a regular swing of their sword. The standard zombies seemed to part like a hot knife through butter under their onslaught.

"Wow! That is incredible! What valour! No wonder he could bring soldiers to reclaim two villages!" Flame King Gu was shocked by the sight of Yue Zhong and his team as they get to work on the zombies. He could not help feeling awed. The same zombies that wiped out most of the West gate defenders could not even hold back Yue Zhong and his team.

If it were just a comparison of power, Flame King Gu would be much more powerful than most of Yue Zhong's men. But he is only one person. His team may have six other evolvers, but the six evolvers were trained by killing zombies that he had caught and rendered incapable of fighting back.

Compared to Yue Zhong's men, their performance in today's battle could be described as miserable.

Sensing that Yue Zhong is the biggest threat to them, four of the five Hunters that were hiding among the buildings rushed forward. They flicked out their tongue, aiming for Yue Zhong's head.

The dexterous tongues seemed to have a life of its own as it twisted and turned while heading towards Yue Zhong as fast as an arrow.

White Bones immediately stood in front of Yue Zhong and used its body to shield him. The four tongues landed on White Bones and were repelled by the toughness of its bones.

Yue Zhong raised his Stinger gun and fired two shots at the Hunters.

Each of the Stinger bullets hit a Hunter on its head and blew the brain apart.

White Bones also glared at the other two Hunter, and with a blazing ghost fire in its eyes, it launched two sharp bone spikes at these creatures. The bone spikes immediately penetrated into the Hunters' brains, and exited from their spine. In the process, the Hunter's brains, flesh and muscles were all smashed into pulp. The Hunters collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

As Yue Zhong aimed for the two Hunters, two more S2 zombies appeared near Yue Zhong like a gust of wind, and their mighty, sharp claws threaten to cleave Yue Zhong into pieces.

Yue Zhong is wearing a cloak. Underneath the cloak is a Water Python snakeskin armour. Inside the Water Python Snakeskin Armour, he was also wearing a leather cloth made from the hide of the Mutant Rat King. As well, he had a level 3 protective vest that he secretly wore inside the leather armour. Under so many layers of protection, he did not even put the S2 zombies' attacks in his eyes.

Yue Zhong felt the claws of the S2 zombies as they landed on his body. He lashed out with his sabre, and immediately slain the two S2. Two large experience orbs entered into his body.

Without any Hunters threatening the soldiers, Yue Zhong and his team seemed unstoppable as they massacred their way up the walls. Along the way, hundreds of zombie corpses littered the street. Unlike the aftermath of a bullet storm, none of these zombies was even moving nor did they get up again. If you observed carefully, each of the zombies was decapitated, or missing part of their brain.

"That's incredible!" As Lei Sheng watched how Yue Zhong led the two teams of evolvers up the city wall and destroyed all the zombies in his way, his eyes sparkled, and a dark killing intent emerged from his body. Right now, the Military and Yue Zhong were only using each other. Neither of them has the power to resist the zombie horde on their own. They may even become opponents later.

The more powerful Yue Zhong is, the greater the threat he will be to their future plans.

As soon as Lei Sheng leaked out his killing intent, a stronger killing intent emerged from a figure next to him. He was shocked and turned around, only to see the cold stare of Cheng Yu looking back into his eyes. Lei Sheng was frightened by what he saw. Looking into the eyes of this cold-blooded assassin, he was dead sure that if he dares to make any moves against Yue Zhong, he would be killed before he can even take action.

"Recapture the Wall!" Lei Sheng immediately discarded any notion of harming Yue Zhong and his men as he refocused his efforts on the current battle.

Now is not the time to betray Yue Zhong. At least, not yet. Although Lei Sheng is domineering and full of arrogance, he was also aware of this fact. If the city is breached, Lei Sheng will lose everything.

One hundred men armed with machetes slowly walked up the city walls, accompanied by several soldiers wielding assault rifles.

The Military evolvers were largely decimated, and Lei Sheng does not have enough men to retake the wall. Therefore, he could only rely on the conscripted survivors who had just a few days of military training. The soldiers with assault rifles were what remained of his soldiers.

Just as the men entered the wall, a Hunter quickly jumped onto the roof of a building, and charged ahead like an arrow, towards the survivor camp.

Once the Hunter appeared, the men with assault rifles began to panic, and wildly fired at the Hunter.

But the Hunter appearance was too sudden, and it did not have any intent to fight. Most of the bullets hit empty air, and only a few bullets hit the Hunter.

The Hunter continued to flee, and disappeared into the survivor camp.

"Aren't you going to chase after it?" Lei Sheng asked Cheng Yu who was standing next to him, as he looked at the retreating figure of the Hunter. Lei Sheng could feel that Cheng Yu is also a powerful evolver.

Cheng Yu was a former assassin, and is familiar with various weapons. After joining Yue Zhong's team, he had participated in numerous battles and is now a level 13 evolver. Against a Hunter beast, Cheng Yu would be able to hold out on his own.

Cheng Yu's replied sent a chill down the spine of Lei Sheng. "My job is to 'protect' you. Anything else is none of my business."

"Not good! The Hunter is heading towards the Special Administration Region!" Lei Sheng's eyebrows twitched, and his face changed. He immediately climbed the stairs leading to the top of the wall to find Yue Zhong.

On top of the wall, the zombies in the area had all been annihilated by Yue Zhong and his men. Everywhere was strewed with the corpses of the zombies. He had also reached level 34, and he put one point into agility and one point into stamina.

The survivors who came to the top of the wall found the area filled with various heads, arms and other body parts of the zombies. Many of them turned pale, and some of them even puked at the sight. Some of the men were frightened out of their wits, and their machetes slipped out of their trembling hands onto the floor. They had not seen the aftermath of a battle with zombies before.

Lei Cheng walked up to Yue Zhong and spoke in a hurry; "Yue Zhong, one of the Hunters had managed to charge into the Special Administrative Region. Please help to get rid of it."

Translator Notes.

I thought this wall was guarded by Lei Sheng. Sudden Lei Cheng turned up. See? Pity me, the poor translator! Just when I apologised and corrected my mistakes with the name, I was shocked to note that sometimes it is Lei Cheng, sometimes it is Lei Sheng. If the author himself is not clear, how would a translator make things clear?

Yue Zhong raised his eyebrows as he inquired: "Hunter? When did this happen?"

Hunter beasts carry the zombie virus, and it is relatively powerful. Once it reached the men, it could cause massive carnage as it infects most of the men.

Lei Cheng bitterly smiled as he replied: "Just a moment ago. The Hunter was too cunning, and escape through the roofs of buildings."

Yue Zhong immediately ordered: "Xiao Ming, you lead all the men in Team 2 and stay here to protect the area. Cheng Yu, protect Lei Cheng's safety. Team 1 immediately returns to the East gate. If there are any problems, immediately inform me via the walkie-talkie."

In this wave, most of the evolved zombies had been sent out, and Yue Zhong reckoned that there should not be any more threats to the West gate. After all, his close combat team two should be more than enough to deal with ordinary zombies.

Lei Cheng saw that Yue Zhong had two teams of elite men. He wanted to ask Yue Zhong to gift him command of one group of men. After all, he had gifted Yue Zhong with five evolvers just now. But Yue Zhong had already disappeared he rapidly chased the Hunter.

Report chapter

Yue Zhong drove to the Special Administrative Region, and found that that the two guards that were supposed to protect this area from the zombies were already dead. Each of the two guards had a big hole where their heart was meant to be. There was no sight of the hearts. Without a doubt, this is the handiwork of a Hunter beast.

Most of the men in the Special Administrative Region had not experienced the horror of the apocalypse. They were all in a panic when they received news of the Hunter beast. Very quickly all of them fled towards the exit of the Special Administrative Region. For the first time, the Special Administrative Region that was full of life seemed to be empty as all the people fled.

In the chaos, many people were trampled on when they fell. At the same time, too many people were trying to get out of the Special Administrative Region, and throngs of people blocked the narrow exit.

To ensure that they have a place to escape to, many of the evolvers had used their powers to push aside anyone in their way.

Many children and women were shoved onto the cold hard floor. They laid there wailing, and the scene was nothing short of utter Chaos.

"Damn it!" Looking at the stampede of humans, Yue Zhong could not help frowning. If this goes on, the death count of the people who were trampled to death in the jostle to get out of the area would be much higher the number of people killed by the Hunter.

Without any hesitation, Yue Zhong activates his skill "Art of the Fear". This skill has the effect of making people lose their will to fight. A massive wave of spiritual power radiated from Yue Zhong's body. With haste, he reached the area where most of the men were in, and roared out: "Shut up! All of you queue and leave here in an orderly matter!"

The Art of the Fear is really impressive. The men seemed to fear Yue Zhong more than the Hunter, and listened to Yue Zhong and left in an orderly manner.

As he walked forwards, the men around him felt indescribable fear, and they unconsciously went out of their way to create a path for him to walk on. At the same time, the men behaved themselves and

began to exit the area in an orderly manner.

After the men had made way for him, Yue Zhong was startled to see that the Hunter was covered in blood. It was chasing and killing the survivors in the Special Administration Region. The Special Administration Region was relatively untouched by the apocalypse. As such, most of the men do not have much ability to hide nor fight the Hunter. It was like a herd of defenceless, fat sheep.

The Hunter flicked its tongue, and penetrated a hole in the chest of the child.

The little boy was not bigger than ten years old, and his eyes shown a trace of fear. He struggled feebly for a few moments, and collapsed onto the ground as his heart was ripped out of his body.

"Damn it" Seeing this, Yue Zhong eyes turned cold, and he aimed his Stinger gun at the Hunter.

The Hunter is brilliant. Having seen how Yue Zhong killed scores of zombies and other hunters, it immediately chose to retreat rather than to fight. It flicked its tail and sent a corpse flying towards Yue Zhong. While Yue Zhong was distracted by the dead body, the Hunter had hidden itself in a small alley.

Yue Zhong stepped to one side to avoid the dead body, and chased after the Hunter.

If the Hunter had rushed towards Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong was confident of finishing it in one shot. But the Hunter opted to run instead. With its incredible speed, it is not easy for Yue Zhong to kill it.

The Hunter proved to be extremely cunning, as it dodged into the maze of alleys and corridors.

Yue Zhong fanatically chased after the Hunter with all his speed. His agility had reached a frightening value of 69, and he was able to close the distance between them. If not the fact that the hunter kept turning and changing its path, Yue Zhong would have already caught up the Hunter.

As Yue Zhong rushed into a small alley, suddenly his passive skill Danger Sense rang out a warning. A tongue seemed to have been lurched from the sky and was rapidly closing towards his head.

The Hunter had suddenly climbed the walls of the alley with its dexterous claws. From high up in the wall, the Hunter suddenly made a surprise attack on Yue Zhong, hoping to catch its pursuer unawares.

Yue Zhong's eye flashed with cold light. He reached out his hand, and caught the Hunter by its tongue on his right hand.

The Mutant King Rat hide protected Yue Zhong from the attacks of the Hunter, and its tongue could not penetrate through the thick hide. Yue Zhong pulled the tongue with his right hand, while using his left hand to aim the Stinger Gun at the Hunter and pulled the trigger.

A massive "Bang" rang out from the empty alley, and echoed in the surrounding street. The shot had been a head hit, and the head of the Hunter was blown apart by the force of the Stinger Gun. The headless corpse collapsed lifelessly from the wall. With a massive thud, it dropped to the floor, and dropped a green colour treasure box.

"The chance of having any items seemed to be getting lower and lower." Yue Zhong thought as he walked forwards and retrieved the box. Then he kept the box in his spatial ring.

When Yue Zhong and Ji Qing Wu defeated four Hunters in the newbie village, each of the Hunters dropped a skill book and an item. This time, Yue Zhong had killed over ten Hunters, but there were only two green colour treasure boxes. The rest of the items were white colour treasure boxes.

Not long after, a team of special police force finally reached the area, and began to maintain order in the region.

The forces in the survivor camp were spread too thin, and most of the special police force members had been assigned to defend the walls. Otherwise, the Hunter would not find it so easy to enter this area.

"Save me. Save me! I am Secretary Zhang's wife. You cannot treat me like this! Save me, I don't want to die!"

"I was not scratched by the Hunter! This injury was due to me tripping on the pavement as I tried to make my escape. I am a delegate! How dare you arrest me!"

"I am the Chairman of the Ning Group. Chen Jian Feng is my friend. If you dare to touch me, I will skin you alive!"

These special police force immediately began to act on the orders of their superiors, and arrested all the men who were injured. If these men were normal survivors, these police would have immediately shot them. But the people from the Special Administration Regions are all V.I.P.s, and many of them have close relationships with their bosses. These special police could only handcuff them and restrain them.

Even then, many of those who were arrested began to cry loudly. Some of them shouted as they tried to explain their wounds. Some of them tried to intimate the Special Police Force members with their status, and the entire area erupted in Chaos.

A captain of the Special Police Force was perspiring heavily as he shouted: "Everyone remain calm. All we are doing is to detain you for half an hour. If there are no unforeseen changes, everyone may leave."

If these people were ordinary survivors, the Special Police Force members would have used their baton to knock out the teeth of the survivors to get them to shut up. But the Special Police Force members dare not to use force against these men who had connections to their superiors.

"Bang!"

At this time, from the side, there suddenly rang out a gunshot. A white dog was shot dead as the bullet tore a hole in its head.

The captain of the Special Police Force turned his head and saw Yue Zhong holding a type 54 handgun, as he mercilessly shot the dog.

"Oh, my precious! My darling!" A woman who was about 32 -33 years old, with fair skin suddenly wailed out aloud in a shrill moaning voice, as she rushed towards the corpse of her dog.

Translator joke.

Did anyone think of Gollum from Lord of the Rings? J

The gorgeous woman's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and at the same time, seemed to be full of grief. She rushed towards Yue Zhong, and tried to slap him. "You demon! You killed my precious! I will not forgive you!"

The dog is her most treasured pet, and she had treated the dog like a daughter. Although this was after the apocalypse, the dog was still fed the most exceptional dog food. This high-class dog food was made from high-quality beef. If the dog food were placed in the survivor camp among the regular survivors, that would be a feast. For just a can of dog food, many men were willing to kill.

"Fuck you! This thing has been infected. If I don't kill it, it will kill you all." Yue Zhong had been fighting all day since this morning, and had to travel around the Survivor camp to save as many people as possible.

He had rushed all the way here to save the people in the Special Administrative Region from the Hunter, only to yelled at by a woman who could not differentiate if her pet was infected or not. His heart was too tired to remain calm. Anger burned within him as he easily dodged the slap and instead, slapped the woman. His slap knocked out several of her teeth. The woman's face also immediately turned swollen.

This rich lady was knocked down onto the ground, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. She pointed towards the captain of the Special Police Force and shouted loudly, "You dared to hit me? How dare you! Zhang Jie, if you still want to be the captain of the Special Police Force, you better arrest this bastard."

The Captain of the Special Police Force walked forwards with two more men. When they saw Yue Zhong's face, they immediately turned pale and they walked towards the wealthy woman and discreetly whispered, "Madam Shi, this man is the Yue Zhong from Stone Horse village."

Listening to Zhang Jie words, the woman also turned pale. But with eyes full of poison she glared at Yue Zhong and screamed, "So what if you are Stone Horse village's Yue Zhong? Does that mean you can anyhow hit anyone? You hit a woman, are you still a man? You are now in LongHai survivor camp and not Stone Horse Village. If you have the ability, come and kill me!"

The woman is the wife of the Deputy Secretary of LongHai Survival Camp. If Yue Zhong kills anyone here, then the men holding power in LongHai Survival camp will not sit still. If he wants to work with the Survivor Camp, then she would not be in any danger.

Yue Zhong just glanced at the woman and smiled. "Since you desired to die, I will grant you your wish!"

Zhang Jie felt a chill and drew his gun and stood in front of that woman. He wants to prevent Yue Zhong from hurting anyone.

Yue Zhong moved at the same time as Zhang Jie, and he kicked Zhang Jie. The force of his kick sent Zhang Jie flying for a few meters.

"Oh shit!" Zhang Jie had just landed when he quickly get up.

"Save me, Save me", at the same time, the woman was screaming aloud.

Zhang Jie turned his head and saw a zombie cat that was fanatically attacking the woman. With each bite, it tore apart a large chunk of the woman's flesh.

The woman eyes were filled with fear, and she sobbed as she tried to drive away the infected cat. But she was frail and weak, and try as she might, she could not shake off the infected cat.

At the same time, all the other people in the area all avoided her and cleared the area near her. Not one of them was willing to help the woman. The zombie cat was infected and now carry the zombie virus. If the cat had scratched them, they would also be infected. Nobody was willing to do such a dangerous thing!

"Zombie Cat. Agility type. Special Skill: Viral infection."

Yue Zhong coldly stared at the zombie cat, and this information seemed to flash in front of his eyes.

"Save me! Save me!" the gorgeous lady saw that the rest of the men had retreated to a safe distance away, and she despaired. She tried to fend off the cat while asking Yue Zhong for help.

Yue Zhong just glanced at the struggling woman and stepped back, while replying "Sorry, saving you is not part of my mission."

Yue Zhong is a petty man who bore grudges, and he refused to save this woman who did not appreciate the fact that he had saved her from her infected dog.

Zhang Jie immediately shouted out a command to his men who were standing close by, "Kill the darn cat!"

The man replied, "Captain Zhang, the cat is currently on top of Madam Shi's body. We have no confidence that we can kill the cat without hurting Madam Shi."

The infected cat was on top of Madam Shi. If the men shoot the cat, there would be no guarantee that the bullet would not accidentally hit Madam Shi.

Zhang Jie considered for a moment. He gritted his teeth before approaching Yue Zhong for help, "Yue Zhong, please help to kill the zombie cat. Not for her, but for the rest of the men. Please, I am begging you."

Right now, Yue Zhong is the only one capable of killing the zombie cat without hurting Madam Shi. Zhang Jie is not willing to risk his men's life to attempt to save Mdm Shi, who had been infected with the zombie virus. He is also not prepared to shoot the cat and kill the cat and Madam Shi, at least not before Madam Shi had transformed into a zombie. He had no desire whatever to face the wrath of her husband.

Yue Zhong glanced at Zhang Jie, and looked at the crowd of the frightened survivors. Then he stepped forwards, and a flash of light from his Tang Sabre appeared, and the zombie cat was chopped into two.

"It hurts! I want a doctor! I want a doctor!" As soon as she discovered that the zombie cat was dead, she immediately cried out aloud, requesting for medical aid. By this time, her body was missing chunks of flesh, and she was covered with blood, scaring the onlookers.

Yue Zhong looked the woman and immediately turned towards Zhang Jie. "She is already infected. You know that. Why didn't you shoot her?"

Zhang Jie face was fall of bitterness as he replied, "She is the wife of Secretary Gu. If I shot her before she turned into a zombie, I can forget about being a police officer."

Yue Zhong looked at the various animals in the Special Administrative Region, and raised his eyebrows as he advised, "In my opinion, you should shoot all the cats and dogs here. There is a high probability that these creatures are all infected with the zombie virus."

Translator Notes

No….. Please don't do this. I love dogs. I used to keep a dog.???? Does the author had anything against animals?

The cat and the dogs transformed to turn into zombie very quickly once they are infected. And their changes are very scary. A standard zombie is level 1, but an infected cat is level 10. Just one infected cat was able to create chaos in the area.

"I can't do that! These cats and dogs are the pets of these influential men and women. Without the orders from the top, I cannot kill them."

Each of the men in the Special Administrative Region had high status and participated in the decision making of LongHai survival camp at the executive level. All of the men in the Special Police Force had no intention to offend anyone here, at least not without orders from their superiors. This matter concerned their survival – they might lose their job and starve to death like the commoners in LongHai Survivor Camp.

Yue Zhong's eyebrows twitched, but he did not say a word as he left the area. Right now, he is not Big Cliff village nor Stone Horse Village. In these two villages, just a word from Yue Zhong, and men will swiftly carry out the task.

Currently, he is standing in LongHai Survivor Camp. Right now, the two parties are in a joint alliance to fight against the zombies. He is not willing to compromise their current partnership just because of a small matter. At this moment, Yue Zhong's team could not withstand a horde of 100,000 zombies by themselves. The alliance is needed to fight against this formidable, common enemy.

The Special Police Force will have their hands full circumnavigating the swamp of politics while keeping the residents safe. As far as he is concerned, he had already achieved what he had set out to do – kill the Hunter. Let these men deal with whatever else crop out.

Seeing that Yue Zhong had turned to leave, Zhang Jie was about to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything and watched Yue Zhong as he left the area.

As he returned to the East Gate which he guards, he found that several zombies had been thrown onto the wall, and was immediately hacked apart by the men guarding the gate.

Yue Zhong silently observed the situation, and found that most of the zombies were your standard, everyday zombies, and posed little threat to these men.

Only the evolved zombies could present problems for these men who were protected by their Water Python Snakeskin Armour.

After watching for a while, he informed Kong Tianyu, "Please get the prisoners from the prisoners' first platoon."

Kong Tian Yu immediately carried out the order, and very quickly, thirty-six prisoners of war arrived.

Strongman Gao was also assigned to the first platoon. He and the rest of the prisoners stood in an orderly manner in front of Yue Zhong, and await Yue Zhong's orders.

Yue Zhong activated his Art of Fear skill. Instantly a terrifying aura emerged from him.

All the prisoners were cowed by the skill, and felt as if they were tossed into the sea of zombies and being eaten alive. They could not stop trembling and shaking.

"So scary! Is this Captain Yue's power? It is really frightening." Strongman Gao was a brave man, but under the effects of the Art of the Fear skill, he could not help feeling weak in his legs. He dropped onto the floor and panted heavily as he tried to fight off the fear. But his eyes reveal his fears.

The rest of the prisoners did not fare any better. Many of them also collapsed onto the ground and whimpered in fear. Some of the men even peed in their pants.

Seeing that all of the men had been cowed into submission, Yue Zhong deactivated his skill. He spoke, "All of you had committed grave crimes. Normally I would shoot you. But I made a promise that if you surrendered, I would not kill you. Now I give you a chance to redeem yourselves. All you have to do is to kill 30 zombies to redeem yourselves. Once you hit the target, I will grant you the same rights as an ordinary citizen, or maybe, you could be a warrior."

"Given your current strength, thirty zombies is not a small number. Most of you could not even reach this number with your current strength. Now, I will grant you the keys to unlock your potential. Take these items, and fight. Then you will grow stronger as you evolved. If you are willing to be my men and sell your lives to me, you will be well fed, have a home and even a wife!"

As soon as he finished his speech, he waved his hand, and Thirty-six Tang Imitation Swords appeared in a pile in front of the men.

Once Strongman Gao saw the weapon, his eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and immediately grabbed a sword. "This is a weapon from the [System]", he thought

Weapons from the System is a key to the door of evolution. Without items from the [System, even if they killed hundreds of zombies and mutant beasts, they will not evolve.

All of the prisoners understood this point. They immediately picked up a Tang Imitation Sword, and their eyes shown their will to fight. If they fight, they will have a chance to grow stronger. The thought of growing stronger gave them the courage to take a risk.

"Remember, do not touch any skill books, treasure boxes or coins that were drop! If you do, you will be shot!"

"I recommend that after you have evolved, put your points on strength and stamina. Now, go and kill the zombies!" Yue Zhong pointed at the zombies on the wall.

The prisoners shouted out a weird battle cry as they took a steel shield and Tang Imitation Sword and charged towards the wall.

The third and fourth close combat team members retreated to rest.

These prisoners madly and crazily hacked apart the zombies with a fierce passion. Most of the men had some experience in fighting the zombies, and were no longer afraid of these slow moving creatures. Now that they have a Tang Imitation Sword, they must kill zombies to evolve and grow stronger. In this post-apocalypse world, having more strength means a better life.

After Zhao Xin had retreated, he asked Yue Zhong, "Captain Yue, why did you let us retreat?"

Now that the wall does not have any evolved zombies, the third and fourth squad was having a merry time killing the zombies. To them, slaying a zombie was no different from killing a chicken or a dog. Also, they could gain experience orbs. Many men could not understand why Yue Zhong made this decision.

Yue Zhong explained, "Our strength is currently too weak! We need to continuously strengthen our forces. You guys take a short rest first. We will need you and your team in battle again soon."

Zhao Xin did not quite understand, but still he led his men away to rest.

"Skill book!" After killing a zombie, a skill book dropped from the corpse of the zombie.

Once the skill book appears, all the men in the nearby area seemed to turn green with jealousy and greed. They crept nearer towards the skill book. One of the prisoners' eyes appeared to be full of desire as he stretched out his hands in an attempt to grab the book.

A skill book represents a powerful skill, and all of the men knew about this. The lure of power tempted many prisoners.

"Bang!" a shot rang out.

The prisoner who grabbed skill book suddenly had a bloody hole in his head, and as he collapsed, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

The rest of the prisoners were surprised, and they looked towards the direction where the bullet was fired from. They saw that there were men who had type 03 assault rifles pointed towards them.

The prisoners' heart turned cold, and they dare not even to take another glance at the skill book. Instead, they focused on killing more zombies.

A soldier walked up and took the skill book and all the surrounding [System] coins. Many men also continuously dragged or tossed the corpses of zombies down the wall.

Thankfully the zombies' commander had no more new tactics and could only try to overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers. Zombies after zombies were continuously lurched at the gates, and killed by the defenders.

The corpses of these zombies were tossed into a massive bonfire.

The battle continued until nightfall, and Yue Zhong rotated the prisoners, and newly trained soldiers to take turns to slay zombies.

A few men were careless and were injured by the zombies and became infected. They were shot immediately. Most of the prisoners and newly trained soldiers had evolved to level 2. At the same time, they overcome their fear of the zombies.

A typical human only needs to kill about three zombies with a weapon from the [System] to evolve to level 2. But the level 7 evolvers needs to kill tens of zombies to gain a level. For high-level evolvers like Yue Zhong, he needs to kill thousands of zombies to gain a level.

Having the prisoners and the recruits use Tang Imitation Swords and take turns killing the zombie horde could raise their level quickly. To ensure that they could withstand the might of a 100,000 zombie army, Yue Zhong had no choice by to allow them to become evolvers.

After carefully observing the zombies, Yue Zhong suddenly activated his encompassing body armour skill. White Bone immediately merged with Yue Zhong to form a bone armour. Then he immediately ordered, "Fire all weapons!"

Under Yue Zhong's command, the men guarding the East Gate immediately let all hell break loose upon the sea of zombies.

Under the combined storm of the machine guns mixed with heavy artillery shells, many of the zombies seemed to drop down by the dozens. The carnage among the zombies was fields of wheat being harvested by sickles. Everywhere the bullet flew, zombies would drop down. Even the massive and extremely tough L2 zombies were also mowed down, as the armour penetrating bullets ripped holes in their bodies.

"Cease Fire! All elite marksmen, support me with covering fire. Our target are the H1 zombies!"

After Yue Zhong gave the order, he quickly stretches out his hand, and a bone spike reaches into the ground and quickly formed a bone ladder. With this bone ladder, he quickly descended the wall and faced the horde of zombies.

Translator notes:

Holy shit! Did he just do a Superman?

Little Greenie was soaring in the sky when it spot an opportunity. It also took advantage of the bullet storm where most of the zombies were still struggling to get up. Like a bolt of green lightning, it tore apart an H1 zombie.

As soon as Yue Zhong landed, he immediately rushed at full speed towards where the H1 zombies were. These H1 zombies who can shoot fireballs with devastating effectiveness are the greatest threat to Yue Zhong's army. With the H1 zombies providing covering fireballs, the elite marksmen dare not to raise their heads too high to snipe at the zombies. Also, the power of the fireballs could not be disputed. Each fireball had the terrible destructive power that could bomb a jeep into oblivion.

If these zombies continued to remain in the sea of zombies, even Yue Zhong's team would have a hard time with them.

Without the oppressive power of the hail of bullets, many of these zombies slowly picked themselves up from the ground. For those that had their body cut into halves, their upper body continued to crawl towards Yue Zhong.

Translator notes:

I thought the other zombies would trample on the zombies that were crawling on the ground. *Laughs out loud????

The area surrounding Yue Zhong was filling with the scene of zombies that were rising again.

For each step that Yue Zhong took, he would involuntarily step on some limbs, rotten body parts or disgusting bits of shredded flesh. With the numerous zombies that were slowly getting up, it was as if Yue Zhong had stepped into hell.

The L2 zombies recovered much faster than the normal zombies, and got up relatively quickly. They attempt to surround Yue Zhong.

The group of H1 zombies also change their aim as they turned their heads towards Yue Zhong.

The next second, Yue Zhong sense of danger kicked into overdrive as he sensed impending doom coming his way. He immediately activated his shadow steps skill. This skill grants him a massive increase in agility, and like a ghost, he seemed to disappear from the area as he navigated through the sea of zombies.

Twenty fireballs emerged and shot towards Yue Zhong.

Although his speed was outstanding, he did not manage to escape unscathed from chained attack. Two of the fireballs landed on his body.

The Mutant King Rat hide armour managed to prevent the fireballs from piercing holes in his body, but even then, the force behind the two fireballs was no joking matter, as the impact sent Yue Zhong flying for 7 to 8 metres. Many of his bones were fractured, and he felt pain all over his body.

If not for the fact that Yue Zhong's body is thrice as sturdy as a typical human, even with the Mutant King Rat hide armour, this blow would have shattered all the bones in his body, killing him instantly.

Translator Notes:

What happened to White Bones? I thought Yue Zhong had combined with white bones and white bone is his armour?

"Bang! Bang!"

After the H1 zombies had fired their fireballs, the sounds of several gunshots rang out. One after another, holes suddenly appeared in the heads of the H1 zombies. Each H1 zombie that were hit collapsed lifelessly onto the ground.

The snipers on the wall had engaged the H1 zombies and took the opportunity to snipe at them.

Each H1 zombie may possess incredible attack power, but they were physically fragile. Even regular bullets can penetrate their bodies, not to mention the sniper's specialised rounds.

Each of the snipers had unerring accuracy. After three rounds of shots rang out, all of the H1 zombies had been decimated.

But the hides of L2 zombies were too tough. Only at a very close range would the sniper rifles be effective. Or only specially made explosive bullets that would blow apart the head with each hit could hurt them.

Yue Zhong had a limited supply of large-calibre shells and large-calibre sniper rifle bullets. Therefore, if there is no need to, he prefers not to let the shooters use these bullets to bomb the L2 zombies' head.

"Looks like when there is a chance, I must also improve my Vitality attribute as well." Thought Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong crawled up from the ground, and equipped the Tang Sabre. With this weapon, he was easily able to cleave through the standard zombies around him. He was very pale. The bone where the fireball had struck is likely to be shattered. His clothes were in tatters, and the pain screamed out each time he swings his sabre.

The Tang Sabre is much sharper than the Tang Imitation Sword by at last five times. It cut through the zombies like a hot knife through butter.

The evolved L1, S1 and L2 zombies also surrounded Yue Zhong from all directions.

On the wall, the sound of gunshots unceasingly rang out. Other than the L2 zombies, most of the evolved zombies were shot dead by the elite marksmen.

Without the threat of H1 zombies, Little Greenie shows off his might. It dived and ripped off the head of an L2 zombie, and escaped before the slow zombies could retaliate. Then it repeated its actions on other L2 zombies.

Yue Zhong charged at full speed towards the L2 zombie. In no time at all, he reached the front of an L2 zombie

A massive towering fist crushed towards Yue Zhong as the L2 zombie tried to smash the puny human in front of it into pieces.

With a very slight movement, Yue Zhong managed to avoid the blow, and chopped his Tang Sabre at the neck of the L2 zombie.

The sharpness of the sword and Yue Zhong's enhance strength could only open a large hole in the neck, but did not manage to fully decapitate the L2 zombie.

Another massive fist punched out towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong kept his sabre, and stepped aside, narrowly avoiding the death blow.

"The L2 toughness is really extraordinary! Looks that a level 2 Tang Blade is not enough to finish off an L2 zombie. I need to have a much higher strength to cut off its head with one blow."

Yue Zhong used his superior speed to reach the back of the L2 zombie, and kicked at the L2 zombie with all his might. He was able to knock the L2 off balance and the L2 fell heavily to the floor, crushing a few zombies in its fall. He immediately stepped on the L2's head and activated his Devil Fire skill, and burned the L2 head into ashes.

Translator notes:

It is real, man. He just took off his clothes and wore his red underwear. Using devil fire with his foot? Holy shit!

Keeping the items that the L2 had dropped with a single swipe, Yue Zhong continued to wave his Tang Sabre, and easily cleaved apart an L1 and an S1 zombie that charged towards him. He then grabbed the opportunity to rush towards another L2 zombie.

Like a panther, Yue Zhong used the L2 zombie's legs as leverage to climb to the back of the L2 zombie. He reached out with a hand and placed it on the massive L2 zombie's head. A blast of Devil Fire emerged, and the L2 zombie's head also turned into ash.

Without the threat of H1 zombies, under the protection of the snipers, Yue Zhong was like a shark in the sea of tiny fishes.

There were too many zombies for Yue Zhong to avoid, and many zombies had managed to land a hit on him. However, the attack of the standard zombies could not even scratch the bone armour, while a swing of his Tang Sabre would readily cleave apart all but the mighty L2 zombies.

Yue Zhong only dared to dive into the ocean of zombies as he had multiple layers of protective clothes. He had the bone armour that was formed from merging with White Bones. He had a Water Python Snakeskin Armour. Also, he was wearing the Mutant King Rat's hide armour. As well, he was wearing a Level 3 vest from the system to protect him. With so many layers of protection, he was quite safe, even among the horde of zombies. Without these protections, he would had long been infected with the zombie virus and turned into one of them.

As Yue Zhong used his Devil Fire to burn off the head of the 20th L2 zombie, suddenly the sea of zombie seemed to retreat like it was experiencing low tide.

The evolved zombies were the fastest to run. They ran at the head of the pack, as if spearheading the retreat. These evolved zombies are the main weapons that the Z series of commander zombie use to kill the men. Without the evolved zombies, it would be tough, if not impossible to destroy the walls of the Survivor Camp.

Little Greenie was not going to let go of this excellent opportunity. Like Yue Zhong, it had no qualms about stabbing retreating zombies in the back. It rapidly drove down like lightning on the retreating zombies, and managed to slay three more L2 zombies before flying back to the city wall in satisfaction.

It is unclear that there were how many H1 zombies among the sea of zombies, but Yue Zhong was not willing to risk the life of Little Greenie to find out.

Looking at the retreating zombies, Yue Zhong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He used another bone spike to create a bone ladder to return to the top of the wall.

After the wave of zombies were driven back, it is time to examine the loss and gains, clear up the battlefield, eat and rest, and so on.

After the first day of battle, the entire survival camp had destroyed close to 15,000 zombies. But at the same, more than 400 men were lost. The West, North and South gates had lost the most number of men. Most of those who perished were killed in new tactics that launched the first wave of zombies, where the S2 zombies, Hunter zombies and L1 zombies attacked in force. After these zombies had been taken care of, the number of men who fell in battle dropped significantly.

But this fight was very costly for the LongHai Survival Camp regarding resources. In the span of one day, about one-third of the ammunitions were spent. The biggest waste of ammo was when Lei Cheng's new troops did not have much combat experience, and madly fired at the zombies from afar, losing an enormous number of bullets. After the evolvers and survivors had entered the fray, the wastage of ammunition was kept to a minimum.

In this battle, Yue Zhong had gained 13 skill books, 42 white colour treasure box, 4 green colour treasure box, and 2,000 [System coins].

Of the 13 treasure books, There were:

Two Level 1 "Earth spike" skill book.
