Yue Zhong gave all the items to his men, but he kept the Strength Enhancing Ring, and the White Cloak.

Having received the skill book and items, Yue Zhong's men seemed to grow in power. Ji Qing Wu's Tang Imitation Sword had been swapped with the much sharper Tang Sabre. With her enhance cutting-edge skill, even the Mutant Rat King would find it hard to resist being slice apart by her skill.

That night, after Yue Zhong had his dinner, he brought the first team and the second team to observe the situation. The Z series of zombies had suddenly displayed intelligence and was able to use the evolved zombie to spread chaos among the defenders. If not for the powerful evolvers in the Yue Zhong's team guarding the East gate, the Survivor Camp would have fallen by now.

Yue Zhong dared not to underestimate the Z series zombie. The Z series zombie may not be as smart as humans, but with an army of 100,000 zombies; it could overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers. Just one mistake and the Survivor Camp would be overrun.

In a large villa, Lei Cheng looked at his son Lei Sheng, and asked, "Have you finished your preparations?"

Lei Sheng raises his eyebrows as he spoke, "Dad, do we really need to do this? Now, we should still be able to hold on."

Lei Cheng scolded his son, "You idiot! Had you not seen the reality? If we go on, all our men will be killed. Even if we protected the Survivor Camp, if all are men are killed, there is no meaning to this. While we may not necessary need to leave, we need to make the appropriate preparations so that in the case of emergencies, we will be ready to flee."

Lei Sheng immediately fled from the room, "I will immediately make the necessary preparations."

Lei Cheng sighed. He stood up from the chair and walked towards the window. He stared at the moon outside, and his eyes seemed to flash with countless thoughts.

Under the cover of that night, although all seemed to be calm in LongHai Survivor Camp, under the facade, the schemes and ploys of men were set in motion.

In the morning, at the first light, the sea of zombie returned like the high tide, and surround the area on all sides.

Translator notes:

Zombies do not need light to see. I do not understand why zombie retreat at night and attack in the day. LOL.

With the benefit of their previous experience, all the commanders guarding the gates only allow their men to shoot at the zombies, and aim for the head of the zombies. The zombies were nothing but target practice for the new soldiers to gain more shooting experience.

"What is happening? Why are there no evolved zombies?" Yue Zhong observed the situation, and immediately discovered something is wrong. Although there are throngs of zombies there, there was no sight of a single massive L2 zombie.

Without any L2 zombies, the standard zombies did not pose any threat to the soldiers. And were nothing more than target practice for Yue Zhong's men.

Just as Yue Zhong could not make heads or tails of the situation, at the West Gate, suddenly over 160 L2 zombies and L1 zombies appeared. They host up over 70 H1 zombies.

As soon as the 70 zombies appeared, only 10 of these zombies fired the fireballs. These fireballs burn with searing intensity, and in a short while, three new soldiers and two snipers were turned into ash.

The 160 L2 zombies immediately caught S1 zombies near them and hurled them towards the top of the wall.

In a few moments, suddenly slightly over 100 S1 zombies were successfully launched at the wall.

In the west gate, there were three evolvers and 46 survivors wielding machetes.

The defender killed only slightly more than ten S1 zombies. The rest of S1 zombies were like an unstoppable tornado as they ripped into the ranks of the evolvers and the survivors. Along the way, the defenders who were in the way of these whirlwinds of death were promptly torn to shreds.

As the S1 zombies reached the ranks of the men, they used their claws to stab at the soft belly of the men, and then gorge on the intestines and stomach that spilled out from the wounds. The survivors that did not die from the hit howled in agony, and their screams lowered the morale of the other survivors.

Seeing how fierce and scary these S1 zombies were, the rest of the survivors lost their will to fight and rushed down the wall like a torrent of water.

"Damn it! The situation had developed accordingly to what my dad had predicted!" Lei Sheng thought.

Seeing this situation, Lei Cheng turned pale and immediately grabbed Xu Zhenggang by the collar, and shouted out aloud, "Platoon Leader Xu, I command you to hold the fort. Even if all the men were killed, and you are the only defender left, you must not allow these things to enter the Survivor camp. Do you understand?"

Xu Zhenggang face was full of determination as he replied, "Yes, Commander Lei!"

As Xu Zhenggang returned to the camp, Lei Cheng immediately sat in a military jeep and drove off.

Not long after, the doors of the South Gate was opened wide, and 5 IFVs, 12 machine guns installed car, 26 hummers, 12 Dongfeng lorries, 7 modified bus, and four tankers sped out of the LongHai Survival Camp.

Looking at the vehicles, numerous zombies surrounded the vehicles, and sought to block the road in front of the cars.

The type ZSL92 armour IFV [1] was covered in thick armour. Along the way, it flung aside all the ordinary zombies as it knocked them down and crushed them underfoot. Regular zombies could not penetrate the armour of this vehicle.

Under the might of the IFVs, the standard zombies could not even have the strength to resist. The reason the military could clear Longhai survivor camp of zombies was, in no small part, due to the might of these vehicles.

The vehicles behind closely followed after the bloody path that the IFVs had open up, and escaped out of the survivor camp.

Once the vast number of cars left, they left the south gate wide opened, and massive swarms of zombies entered into the city.

"Captain Yue! Captain Yue! Lei Cheng had fled with his men!" Just when Yue Zhong was suspicious of the behaviour of the zombies, the walkie-talkie suddenly ranged out. From the other end was the voice of a team member who was shocked and disappointed.

"Damn this bastard!!!" hearing this report, it was like a bomb had detonated inside Yue Zhong's head.

Lei Cheng may not be a good man, but his military soldiers are not to be underestimated. If not for Lei Cheng's putting in all his strength to resist the zombie invasion, it is likely the zombies would have overwhelmed the survivor camp on its first day. Yue Zhong could not hope to defend the entire camp by himself. His men may be top notched, but he did not have enough men.

"Which gate did he escaped from? What is the situation there?" With great difficulty, Yue Zhong forced himself to remain calm, and asked the one who reported the situation.

If all three gates were breached, Yue Zhong could only immediately led his men to leave the area.

Without the walls, nothing is stopping the zombies. Without preparations, there is no hope of fighting a 100,000 zombie army.

"The South Gate is lost. A massive number of zombies had entered the city, and it is chaos in the city."

"I understand!"

As soon as the sound had stopped, from the walkie talkie came the urgent voice of Xu Zhenggang. "Yue Zhong, I am Xu Zhenggang. The situation in the West gate is critical, I could only hold on for five more minutes. I need your help!"

Yue Zhong replied, "You hold on for five more minutes. Within 5 minutes, I will definitely bring men and arrive to help you!"

He immediately made his decision: "Kong Tianyu, Chen Shi Tou, Zhao Xing, Xiao Ming. The four of you bring all your men with you to the South gate. Lang Zi, bring two squad with you and follow Kong Tianyu. Your job is to maintain order. If you see anyone setting fire or robbing or raping, etc., kill them immediately!"

"Ji Qing Wu, Bai He and I will bring the first, third and fourth evolvers squad to support Xu Zhenggang. Wang Shuang, you are the highest ranked commander over here. If there are any refugees, accept them. Check for any injuries and shoot them if you suspect that they are infected. Also, kill any animals you see immediately!"

After giving out the commands, Yue Zhong brought four teams of evolvers towards the West Gate.

Along the way, there were chaos everywhere. The survivors had gone crazy and lost all hope. They begin to kill, rob, commit arson, snatch items, rape, etc. It was as if all hell had broken loose, and the worse of humanity had emerged.

Looking at the zombie entering the city, most of the survivors had lost all hope. They could not see tomorrow, and were carrying out their darkest desires.

A man's eyes were red as he ripped apart a woman's clothes, as if he intended to rape her in front of everyone in board daylight.

The woman screamed for help, and was in tears, as she shouted with her might, but nobody appeared to help her. Instead, her screams brought forward two more men who were similarly driven insane with lust.

Looking at the two men, the first men just smiled, and said, "Let's gang rape her."

The two men nodded their heads, and rushed forwards. One of them tore off the rest of the clothes of the woman, while the other men took off his pants.

"Bang!" A shot rang out. One of the would-be rapists collapsed as a bullet hole emerged from his head.

Looking at the dead man, the other two men, immediately fled in all directions.

The woman who was saved looked up and saw a car driving pass at high speed, and it did not show any intention of stopping.

Yue Zhong had killed the man, but he did not step up to save the woman. Because right how, the situation is critical. He needs to bring men to support Xu Zhenggang. He did not have the luxury of time to stop the car and rescue the woman. He could only leave this task for Lang Zi and his team.

Very quickly, Yue Zhong brought his men towards the west gate.

At this time, many of the guns had turned white hot from overuse. The IFV had stopped firing. Flame King Gu continuously launched fireballs after fireballs to kill S1 zombies.

The steel wire net and the steel wire trap had rendered great service, as the net caught several high-speed S1 zombies. Some S1 zombies fell prone as they tripped on the steel wire trap. The men quickly killed each S1 that were trapped.

In engaging the S1 zombies in close combat, many survivors had been scratched by the S1 zombies, and cried out in pain. These S1 zombies were far more powerful than regular zombies.

If Yue Zhong did not have various armours protecting him, he also dared not to fight with more than twenty S1 zombies at a time. Even if he is very careful, it is inevitable that he will be hit by at least one S1 zombie. The unlucky survivors found out the scariness of the S1 zombies the hard way.

If not for the fact guns were being pointed at the survivors and that all who retreated will be shot, many of the survivors would have fled a long time ago. The steel wire nets, the trip wire trap and supporting covering fire had helped some survivors to last a bit longer. Even then, once the heavy weapons stopped firing, more and more S1 rushed forwards, and the defence line is at risk of being overwhelmed.

Yue Zhong immediately made his way to Xu Zhenggang, and pointed towards an IFV and asked, "Why did you not use the autocannon?"

In this critical time, the Type ZPT90 25 mm autocannon is a magnificent weapon. One swept could kill most of the zombies.

Xu Zhenggang face was full of sorrow as he explained, "No more ammo! If you were just a bit later, we would have been overran with zombies."

Without ammo, the IFV is just an armour carrier, and could not show off its power. The lack of ammunition is a deciding factor in swinging the tide between men and zombies.

"Ji Qing Wu, Team 1, Team 3 and Team 4, follow me!" Yue Zhong immediately led his forces to attempt to hold the line.

Bai He is a one of the snipers who took command of the armed squad. He was very calm as he continuously provides covering fire. Each shoot of his will take out an S1 zombie with a headshot.

The place seemed to be overran with S1 zombies. Yue Zhong led his team towards the S1 zombies. His speed is incredible and with a flash of his Tang Sabre, three S1 zombies were instantly destroyed.

White Bones who was standing besides Yue Zhong, took out a massive white bone axe, and destroy all incoming S1 zombies like a whirlwind of destruction.

Ji Qing Wu was not inferior to either of them, as the Tang Sabre in her hands waved a deadly dance that decapitate a zombie with each hit.

Yue Zhong's Tang Sabre continuously lashed and chopped out, cleaving apart S1 zombies with each hit. He did not use any special skills, and just constantly hack and slash with his sabre. More and more S1 zombies perished until his blade. Occasionally, an S1 zombie got lucky and landed a hit on him, but his armour negate any damage done to him.

The rest of the men fared no better, and was hit several times by the horde of S1 zombies. But with the Water Python Snakeskin armour, the strikes of the S1 zombies could not hurt them. Instead, any S1 zombies that hit them were slain in the brief period these zombies stopped moving.

Each of the S1 zombies are all level 10 beasts. Their deaths dropped large experience orbs for the men, allowing the team to evolve further. This is especially so for the weaker team members in team 3 and team 4 squad members. Each kill often results in an instant level up, giving them a huge morale boost.

Under Yue Zhong, White Bones and Ji Qing Wus' leadership, the four teams continuously kill as they pushed forwards. Each addition step forward was extremely difficult, due to the chaos and massive numbers of S1 zombie.

Yue Zhong team may be powerful, but outside of the gate, there were more than 100 L2 zombies that were unceasing tossing zombies into the city. The number of zombies they killed could not keep up with the rate at which the L2 zombies toss more zombies onto the wall of the city. Each step forwards were getting increasingly difficult.

"Retreat!" Yue Zhong saw that the tide of zombies were unending, and it is impossible to continue this way. Therefore he sounded the order to retreat.

If this continues, the four squads will exhaust all their stamina. It would be impossible to climb to the top of the tower gate this way.

Under Yue Zhong's command, the four squadrons of men immediately retreat towards the makeshift fortification where Xu Zhenggang was.

"Ji Qing Wu, come with me!" Yue Zhong activated his skill combined body armour, and carried Ji Qing Wu with one hand. Then he fired a bone shard, and extended it as he flew up towards the wall.

On the wall, Yue Zhong was able to see more than 100 L2 zombies that continuously tossed more and more zombies onto the wall. The wall was already filled to brim with zombies, and the number of zombies continued to increase.

Almost all the zombies were evolved zombies. While the first few waves of zombies were all S1 zombies, the later waves of zombies were all L1 zombies. In an army of 100,000 zombies, there were only hundreds zombies that had their 2nd evolution. But there were thousands of zombies that had their first evolution, and these zombies filled the wall.

The Z series commander zombie seemed to have learnt a lesson from yesterday's failure. It sent a large number of normal zombies to surround the entire area to prevent the leaders of the four gates from allocating more soldiers to help the other gates. Then it gathered all its forces to attempt to break down the weakest link – the west gate. In no time at all, the west gate was overwhelmed.

Yue Zhong tossed a hand grenade into the wall. With a loud "Bang", the hand grenade cleared a large circle in the walls, as many zombies were blown into pieces.

Yue Zhong carried Ji Qing Wu and landed on the cleared area.

Below the wall, the H1 zombies continuously fired balls of flames onto the walls, and created large debris.

All the surrounding zombies surrounded Yue Zhong.

"Protect me", Yue Zhong took out a Type 89 QJZ 8 submachine gun, and fired madly at the H1 zombies.

Under the barrage of fire from the powerful weapon, several H1 zombies were shot and dropped onto the floor.

Ji Qing Wu stood by Yue Zhong's sides, and waved her Tang Sabre as she slay several S1 and L1 zombies. She guarded Yue Zhong's back.

Little Greenie also reached the wall, and with a flap of its massive wings, 7-8 evolved zombies would be sent flying. Its beak can smash apart an evolved zombie's head and kill it.

As Yue Zhong was aiming at the H1 zombies, he suddenly felt a warning of danger from his danger sense skill. He immediately squatted down.

The next moment, three balls of fire landed on the spot where Yue Zhong was standing a second ago, and one of the balls of fire destroyed the Type 89, QJZ 8 Submachine gun.

"Damn it!" Yue Zhong was sadden by the loss of this weapon. This weapon had very good power, and could be deployed in numerous situation. He only had two of these firearms in his spatial ring.

Yue Zhong took out his last Type 89 QJZ8 Submachine gun and madly fire at the H1 zombies again.

In a short span of time, over 30 H1 zombies had been slain by the bullets. The H1 zombie fire at Yue Zhong again.

This time, Yue Zhong was well prepared. As soon as the danger sense was activated, he immediately grabbed the gun and crouched down.

After the fireballs had missed him, Yue Zhong then picked up the submachine gun and continued to fire at the H1 zombies.

Seeing that the H1 zombies were being wipe out by Yue Zhong, the L1 zombies hosted the remaining H1 zombies. From the mouth of these H1 zombies, fireball after fireball were launched and struck the wall.

"All the 90 H1 zombies should have attacked by now. I should have about 15 mins grace." Yue Zhong was shooting at the zombies. But at the same time, he was also counting the number of fireballs that were lurched towards him.

He turned around and found that Ji Qing Wu was perspiring heavily and seemed to be panting. Although the time spent is not very long, but she had to handle a massive number of zombies. This used up her stamina very quickly.

"Do you still have any more stamina?" Yue Zhong stepped up and killed two L1 zombies, before asking Ji Qing Wu.

"Yes." Ji Qing Wu looked at Yue Zhong, and continued to decapitate another S1 zombie.

Yue Zhong laughed and carried Ji Qing Wu and jumped down from the wall, towards the zombie side.

In the sky, Little Greenie also took advantage of the time when the H1 zombies could not fire any more fireballs and flew down and destroyed an L2 zombie.

Under the wall, everywhere was filled to the brim with standard zombies. There was nowhere to land nor was there any safe space. Yue Zhong continuously shoots out bone shards and using a series of bone shard ladders, made his way towards the group of H1 zombies.

The H1 zombies are the greatest threat to Yue Zhong. As long as there is even one H1 zombie, his escape path would be filled with danger.

After several bone spike ladders, Yue Zhong reached the cluster of H1 zombies. He immediately land down and with a single stroke of his sabre, sliced an H1 and the L1 zombie that was supporting the H1 into two.

The area was full of zombies, and Ji Qing Wu began her waving her sword dance and start a massacre. 6-7 zombies were killed immediately. But the number of zombies were unending, and continued to creep forwards. She could smell the disgusting thick smell of the zombies' rotten flesh.

In the sea of zombie, everywhere was filled with standard zombies. It is very hard for agility type evolvers like Ji Qing Wu to battle. If Ji Qing Wu was the only one who fell into the tide of zombie, she would, without a doubt, drown in the sea of zombies. This is not because she is not strong enough, but rather because the number of zombies is too overwhelming and did not give her any space to move about to take advantage of her agility.

Yue Zhong's right hand fired a shard of bone, and immediately took him and Ji Qing Wu away, towards another H1 zombie that was lurking nearby. He easily cleaved the zombie into two.

Little Greenie also followed Yue Zhong, and attacked continuously, and destroy several H1 zombies.

Under Yue Zhong's and Little Greenie's hunt for the H1 zombie, the H1 zombies dropped like files. Just when approximately 10 H1 zombies were remaining, the H1 zombies suddenly jumped down from the heads of the L1 zombies and hid themselves among the zombie horde.

With the number of zombies in the area, looking for an H1 zombie is like looking for a needle in a stack of hay. Yue Zhong did not continue to chase the H1 zombies, but instead used the bone ladder to go towards the L2 zombies.

These L2 zombies are the main siege machines that lurched more and more zombies to the wall. If these L2 zombies fall, it will reduce the pressure on the defenders within the wall.

In a few seconds, Yue Zhong reached an L2 zombie. He raised his gun and burst apart an L2 zombie's head.

After destroying the L2 zombie, Yue Zhong continued to move around and kill more L2 zombies.

"Congratulations on reaching Level 35. You have gained two attributes points."

After Yue Zhong had killed about 15 L2 zombies, he finally gained another level and became level 35.

Yue Zhong chose to put his attribute points into agility and stamina, and carried Ji Qing Wu as they continued to slay L2 zombies with his stinger gun. Then they would go to the next L2 zombie by swinging from bone spikes ladder to bone spikes ladders. After so many days of practicing his shooting, he could hit the head of an L2 zombie with 100% accuracy within a range of 50 m.

Translator notes:

Think bone spikes ladders as Spiderman's web.

Having discovered this great enemy, the L2 zombies nearby shoved aside the zombies in their way as they charged towards Yue Zhong.

With great speed, Yue Zhong carried Ji Qing Wu and arrived in front of an L2 zombie.

The L2 zombie fists connected on the bone ladder, and shattered it in one hit. Ji Qing Wu and Yue Zhong began to descend from the sky.

Ji Qing Wu immediately activated her Cutting edge enhancement skill, and her Tang Sabre seemed to flash out a ray of light. The extremely tough L2 zombies that could resist bullets could not resist the sharpness of her Sabre and was cleaved in two.

"Amazing! Her special skill is indeed the bane of these L2 zombies." Looking at the ease in which Ji Qing Wu sliced apart the L2 zombies, Yue Zhong could not help praising Ji Qing Wu.

As soon as Ji Qing and Yue Zhong landed on the ground, the surrounding zombies all crept forward to attack.

Yue Zhong ignored these zombies, and again, he held on to Ji Qing Wu's waist as he fired another bone shard and rose upwards. Then he charged towards the next L2 zombie.

The L2 zombie also quickly fell to Ji Qing Wu's sword, and a massive globe of experience orb entered into Ji Qing Wu's body. Ji Qing Wu finally leveled up.

Under Yue Zhong's guidance, Ji Qing Wu continuously used her blade to kill the higher level L2 zombies. Her level continued to raise, and she reached level 20.

After Ji Qing Wu, Yue Zhong and Little Greenie killed about 80 L2 zombies, Yue Zhong carried Ji Qing Wu and jumped onto Little Greenie's back. Little Greenie carried them back towards the city.

At this time, Ji Qing Wu was running very low on stamina, and she could not continue to battle. Although the cutting edge enhancement is very powerful, it also drains stamina rapidly.

In one attack, over 100 L2 zombies were killed, and only about 60 L2 zombies remain. These L2 zombies continued to throw more zombies towards the wall, but the rate at which they were throwing had decreased by a lot. The pressure on the defenders also reduced by a corresponding amount.

When Yue Zhong returned to the West Gate, he found that the four squads of evolvers were still fighting the zombies, but many of them looked exhausted.

In fighting with a huge number of zombies, the stamina and spiritual power deplete at an astonishing rate. Most of the evolvers can kill over 100 zombies in a day. But only if there are periods of lull time in between for them to rest and recharge their stamina. Against a horde of zombies, they could only kill about 20 each. When facing a group of zombies, they must continuously attack, and hack apart the zombies without any breaks. The pressure is very taxing on them physically and mentally, and the rate at which their stamina and spiritual power get drained is also very rapid.

Looking at the situation, Yue Zhong immediately summoned Wang Shuang and ordered, "Quickly make arrangements for men to bring two higher-level squads of prisoners."

He needs to have two more squad of men before he could retaliate against the zombies and regain control of the West gate.

"Yes, Captain Yue!"

Not long after, two vehicles carrying the prisoners arrived. After equipping the Tang Sword and the Steel Shields, the prisoners charged towards the wall.

Yue Zhong had been investing his points into stamina at each level. At this time, he still feels energetic. He took the lead together with White Bones and brought his men to attempt to take back the wall.

Without the threat of H1 zombies attacking it, Little Greenie continuously destroyed L2 zombies with its sharp claws.

It took Yue Zhong over 1 hour to kill all the zombie and retake the West wall. But twelve of the prisoners were infected with the zombie virus.

L2 zombies continued to perish under Little Greenie's might. When there were only about twenty L2 zombies left, Yue Zhong allowed Little Greenie to hunt the zombies as it desires.

Twenty L2 zombies could no longer post any threat to the West Gate.

Yue Zhong had not even taken a rest, when the walkie talkie sounded out Kong Tianyu's distress signal. "Yue Zhong, I am requesting support at the South gate. Right now, we managed to stop the zombies from continuing to enter the city, but we do not have enough men to retake the South Gate. Please send us some support!"

"Is there a lot of evolved zombies in the South Gate?" Yue Zhong asked.

Kong Tianyu replied, "No. There are no evolved zombies. However, the number of normal zombies is way too many. No matter how many we killed, there are always more to be killed. We were forced to retreat due to their overwhelming numbers."

Kong Tian Yu's four squads of men were all evolvers. But the number of zombies is unending. They were severely outnumbered and could only retreat.

"All right, I understand! I immediately bring some soldier to support you. Before that, help me stop the speed at which the zombies enter the city!"

Yue Zhong had just finished his conversation with Kong Tian Yu when he spied the IFV. He immediately asked Xu Zhenggang, "Is this still operational?"

Xu Zhenggang replied, "It can still move for about 60 km more."

"Drive! We need to support the South Gate!" Yue Zhong grabbed Xu Zhenggang leapt into IFV.

The IFV was quickly started and driven towards the South Gate.

All exits along the main road from the South Gate had been sealed with Steel Wire Mesh. The alleys and streets branching from main road were blocked and sealed. There was only one way in which the zombies may travel on – the main road.

The main road was about 1000 m long, and it was filled with massive numbers of zombies.

At the front of the zombie horde, 46 evolvers were like monkeys as they jumped forwards to kill the zombies at the front of the zombie throng, and immediately leaping back to avoid the retaliation of the zombies.

There were too many zombies, and the zombies seemed to pour into the street like a river. Those zombies that collapsed were stepped on by the next wave of zombies and continued to advance.

Yue Zhong's men also dared not to charge into the river of zombies. They were afraid of being surrounded. Although each of them was wearing Water Python Snakeskin armour, they would also be smashed into meat paste if they were continuously attacked on all sides, or even worse, stepped on by so many zombies.

This type of attack and retreat tactics, while effective, trended to deplete stamina at a very fast rate. Many of the men were breathing heavily. If not for the fact that they all have continuously improved on their strength and stamina, they could not have last so long.

Just when the men were feeling totally exhausted, an IFV charged in and rammed against the zombies.

The standard zombies that knocked by the IFV fell onto the floor. The IFV weigh several tons. Therefore, it is no surprise that the zombies were crushed into meat paste under the wheels of the vehicle.

The IFV seemed to open up a path among the zombies as it charged through the middle of the road and mowed down the zombies in its path. Only the zombies on left or right side of the road remained standing.

Translator notes:

Did anyone play plants vs zombies? This is the lawn-mower. L.O.L.????

Seeing this, the morale of the men all rose sharply.

Kong Tian Yu shouted loudly as he rushed towards the remaining zombies, "Captain Yue had brought reinforcements! Attack!"

Under the leadership of Kong Tian Yu, the four squads of men renewed their vigour as they hacked the zombies apart.

Under the might of the IFV, most of the zombies were mowed down. Under Yue Zhong's command, the IFV continued to charge out of the gate, and continued to trample zombies in front of it. Right now, there were too many zombies, and the IFV could thin out the herd.

Not long after, two more squads of men arrive, and joined Kong Tian Yu to decimate the remaining zombies.

After making sure the situation is stable, Yue Zhong then allows the men to drive the IFV back into the city, and closed the gate.

The battle was physically exhausting. Even with 66 points of stamina, Yue Zhong was fatigued.

Kong Tian Yu was covered with blood, as he greeted Yue Zhong. "What is our next step?"

Yue Zhong replied, "You lead a squad of men to defend here. If there are too many zombies, and you could not withstand the attack, you may retreat anytime."

Yue Zhong had too little men. He also could not afford to spend too many soldiers in guarding the South gate. The East Gate is his camp. In the East gate, there were a lot of food, ammo, and other items, and would not be easily lost.

Kong Tian Yu thought for a moment, and immediately brought some men towards the walls of the South Gate.

When Lei Cheng fled with some soldiers, the entire camp became a sea of chaos as anarchy reigns. Across the survival camp, many survivors displayed disorderly and violent behaviour, such as rape, murder, rob, arson, etc. Everywhere was chaos.

Four men were carrying torches and continued to burn whatever they could. As they watched the fire burned everything down, they laughed as if they were mad. Only this crazy act of arson could let them settle the fear and unease in their hearts.

"Bang" a shot resounded, and a hole appears on a survivor's head. As it dropped onto the floor, its facial expression was showing complete disbelief.

The other three survivors turned around, and saw Lang Zi and five other armed men rushing towards them.

The three survivors saw the gun in Lang Zi's hand and turned pale. They tried to flee.

"Bang!" Another shot rang out, and another survivor was also shot died by Lang Zi.

"Please don't kill me, I surrender. Don't kill me!"

The last two survivors saw their friend who was killed, and they immediately stop running and squatted down while begging for their lives.

"Captain, do we send these men to the prisoner camp?" One of the team members asked Lang Zi.

Lang Zi's eyes were cold as he replied, "Kill them all. We don't have so many people to look after these massive number of assholes."

After receiving Lang Zi's command, two of the men walked forward with a knife each and proceeded to slaughter the two men who surrendered.

Chapter 193 (Part 1): Grind up the zombie hordes!

Many survivors watched Lang Zi and his team kill the four other survivors like slaughtering chickens and dogs. Their hearts felt a cold chill and they watched from far away; many of the survivors hiding in their homes secretly watched Lang Zi and his team too.

Lang Zi shouted a few words of abuse,

"Kill the rapists, kill the murderers and arsonists, kill the looters- if you lot of bastards want to stay alive, all of you behave a bit better for me. Right now, the city has not been broken into yet. You can @?!%$ sensibly stay here, or go to the East Gate side and wait for arrangements upon entering. You people are under the command of Captain Yue and so we will protect your personal safety."

After he finished speaking, Lang Zi brought people with him to continue advancing, shooting the violent survivors dead whenever they saw them.

With Lang Zi's efforts, the city's chaotic situation gradually became under control and stability was restored. At the same time, a large number of survivors approached in the direction of the East Gate like refugees, bringing their families with them.

Apart from the North Gate side's residents, a large number of survivors all came in the direction of the East Gate, densely packed like a swarm of ants.

On the road leading to the East Gate, there were fortifications constructed from wire mesh, cables and sandbags. A team of soldiers armed with rifles stood on guard in front of those fortifications. Two LMGs (light machine guns) were about to create a total blockade of the roads, so that whoever wanted to forcefully break through this route would have to pay a painful price.

Wang Shuang stood ahead on the road holding a whip in his hands and shouted,

"Enter by order, whoever dares to jump the queue shall receive lashes!"

Two squad members stood outside lurking around, seizing men and women with strong bodies from time to time who had jumped the queue. They fiercely whipped the bodies of the queue-jumpers until their skin split and flesh blossomed and they were screaming again and again.

With the deterrence of such a cruel punishment, those who once very much liked to jump queues crowded together to form a group of people who all sensibly formed a long, dragon-like queue. Upon being registered and entering, they became people under the control of Yue Zhong.

A large number of L2 zombies were hunted and so the Z-series zombies hidden in the midst of the zombie hordes didn't have any great ideas. Only a few mechanically ordered the remaining L2s to throw more zombies into the city.

"Xu Zhenggang, how about working for me?"

Sitting inside the IFV, Yue Zhong tried to recruit Xu Zhenggang once again.

This time, Xu Zhenggang didn't give a flat refusal like last time, but rather fell silent, his eyes flashing with an exceptionally complicated light.

Yue Zhong lightly said,

"Before you cried to me for help, you must have done the same to the other side as well right? Yet the person who brought people over to save you wasn't another, it was I Yue Zhong. They made you into an abandoned child, do you still wish to sacrifice your life to these people in such a manner?"

People like Xu Zhenggang who adhered to their own principles and methods were exactly those who Yue Zhong liked to recruit as his subordinates the most. As soon as Xu Zhenggang became one of Yue Zhong's subordinates, Yue Zhong wouldn't worry about Xu Zhenggang betraying him and could entrust him with the responsibility. In addition, Xu Zhenggang was also an officer who had undergone rigorous military training with outstanding military accomplishments; he was the sort of talent Yue Zhong needed the most.

Yue Zhong continued to say,

"If you enter my side, with your ability, you can protect even more people. Your comrades and brothers can also have better lives."

Xu Zhenggang fell silent for a while, then finally replied to Yue Zhong's soliciting,

"Alright Yue Zhong, I will bring my brothers and join your side."

When zombies raided the West Gate, many of Xu Zhenggang's comrades were killed; at this point there were only thirteen soldiers still living. Nevertheless, these remaining thirteen soldiers had all survived the war with rich combat experience and skillful shooting technique. After Xu Zhenggang agreed to to join Yue Zhong, these thirteen soldiers followed in his manner as well and joined Yue Zhong's army.

From the West Gate, the remaining 40 survivors were also incorporated by Yue Zhong and joined his armed forces.

Yue Zhong walked up to Gu Zhixing and directly requested,

"Gu Zhixing my man, I hope you can come help me."

Gu Zhixing's ability to manipulate flames was extremely remarkable, to the extent that he could already agglomerate a fireball: he was akin to a small humanoid turret with extraordinary battle power. Yue Zhong hoped to also recruit him under his command.

With a rather pallid expression, Flame King Gu Zhixing glanced at Yue Zhong, understanding his intention lightning-fast. He gave a slight chuckle and said,

"Alright Team Yue, since you respect my old bones, then I'll entrust you with this old life."

Gu Zhixing was also an old fox: as soon as Lei Cheng had fled, Yue Zhong and his troops became the strongest force inside the base. A cunning person like him naturally didn't hold any allegiance to the government in his heart- during the two days of fiercely battling zombies, the majority of his men were all killed. The best outcome for him would be to pledge allegiance to Yue Zhong; this way, he could let his children and family live a comfortable life.

Gu Zhixing and Xu Zhenggang surrendered to Yue Zhong and the base's West Gate had also landed in Yue Zhong's hands.

Yue Zhong then quickly mobilized three IFVs, seven Dongfeng trucks and six modified buses to form a huge fleet, which rushed out through the East gate, crazily advancing towards the depths of the zombie hordes.

Yue Zhong himself was lying on Little Greenie's back and looking down from the sky, giving out orders to that huge fleet to commence the assault.

Right after that huge fleet had left the city, countless normal zombies began to surround it.

Chapter 193 (Part 2): Grind up the zombie hordes!

It was just that those normal zombies could barely even harm the three IFVs, which were akin to an invincible three-headed beast as they led the huge fleet behind them. They crazily ground up the retreating zombie hordes until all of the zombies blocking the road had been steamrolled into meat paste.

The huge fleet continued to assault within the zombie hordes, steamrolling a road of blood formed from meat paste; following Yue Zhong's orders, it rampaged towards the depths of the zombie hordes.

After the huge fleet had charged 1000m distance into the zombie hordes, there was sudden movement in there. The large number of evolved zombies attacking at the West Gate were constantly approaching in the direction of the huge fleet.

Along the way, countless normal zombies were pushed down onto the ground and trampled into meat paste by the evolved zombies.

Those normal zombies also seemed to be driven by a mysterious force as they desperately collided with the fleet one after another.

Nevertheless, those normal zombies had rather fragile bones, so that when they collided with the IFVs, Dongfeng trucks or modified buses, all the collisions did was make their brains rupture before they were ground into meat paste.

Utilizing heavy-duty vehicles to carry out the assault and grinding up of zombies was also a tactic that Yue Zhong had long thought of; it was just that before, it was not the best time to implement this tactic.

In the midst of the zombie hordes, there were three types of zombies which posed a great threat to the heavy-duty vehicles: L2, S2 and H1.

An L2's attacks could cause damage to the battle vehicles by shaking them. An S2 could easily jump onto a heavy-duty vehicle and then use its sharp claws to slowly wear away the battle vehicle's armor. A H1 could directly use fireballs to bombard the battle vehicles.

After a two-day long siege, a large number of these three types of evolved zombies had died, hence for the first time, Yue Zhong was able to mobilize the heavy-duty vehicles that were available and initiate a group assault on the zombie hordes.

Under the group assault of those heavy-duty vehicles, countless zombies were ground up, and they began to crazily advance towards the depths of the zombie hordes . Those evolved zombies which had originally gathered at the West Gate, however, were blocked by the densely packed zombie hordes with no way to quickly return and help. They were only able to watch the heavy-duty vehicles charge into the depths of the zombie hordes.

(Note: the author repeats himself so much…)

When the fleet's assault reached 2000m into the zombie hordes, there was a steep rise in the number of mutated zombies (异变陡生?). In the midst of the zombie hordes, there were almost 100 Type 2 evolved zombies consisting of types L2 and S2. They crazily fled out of the sea of zombies into the distance.

A large number of zombies automatically parted, providing that small group of evolved zombies with an escape route.

"They finally appeared,"

Yue Zhong watched the elite army of nearly 100 evolved zombies flee with an emboldened light in his eyes. Little Greenie flew towards that small zombie horde.

Once the Z-type zombies possessed wisdom, they became as cowardly as human executives. If the situation was just slightly bad, it would take the elite troops and flee.

In the middle of the group of zombies, a Z1 held onto an L2's head as it watched Yue Zhong riding on Little Greenie in the sky. Upon seeing this, its very human-like eyes flashed with a hint of fear and it emitted a sharp whistle , pushing the L2 to go a little faster.

Little Greenie took Yue Zhong and they caught up very quickly to the zombie group.

Yue Zhong lightly jumped down from Little Greenie's back.

As soon as Yue Zhong landed, 5 S2s rushed over towards him like ghosts.

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold light and he rushed towards those five S2s，consecutively dealing five sword blows like thunder and directly beheading the five S2s rushing over.

Taking advantage of the situation in which Yue Zhong had finished five S2s, Little Greenie surged towards the Z1.

Upon seeing Little Greenie, the Z1's eyes immediately became crimson and a powerful spiritual shockwave bombarded towards Little Greenie.

However, mutated beasts innately had extremely powerful spirits. The Z1's spiritual shockwave had no effect on Little Greenie in the slightest. In one pounce, Little Greenie snatched away the Z1 and vigorously scratched it, cutting the Z1 into several pieces with his sharp claws.

When the Z1 died, the remaining zombies surrounding the outside of Qing Yuan County immediately collapsed into a mess. They were simply relying on their instincts to chase after the noise the huge fleet made.

"I've already dealt with the zombie commander, right now you must immediately return to the city and not spread this news."

Yue Zhong pulled out a radio and sent an order to Wu Guang, who had launched the assault.

(Note: Wu Guang is the soldier who left Xu Zhenggang first)

Once he received Yue Zhong's order, Wu Guang immediately drove back in the direction of the East Gate with the huge fleet. The zombie hordes' commander had been dealt with and the remaining zombies' strength didn't pose any threat to the people in the city, so they naturally had to immediately return since fuel was also a very precious resource.

After the death of the Z1, those 100 Type 2 evolved zombies gathered around it immediately pounced crazily towards Yue Zhong, who glanced at them and ran away. Those 100 evolved zombies included over 40 L2s that had gathered together, so even Yue Zhong would find it difficult to defeat them.

After Yue Zhong led the 100 zombies around in a circle, he suddenly activated his [Shadow Steps Skill]; his entire body was like thunder as he rushed in the direction of where the Z1 had died. Between a few ups and downs, he threw off those 100 evolved zombies; where the Z1 had died, a Skill Book suddenly burst out of the Z1, as well as a green Treasure Box (Note: Chinanovel translated 青 as blue, whilst Youjin translated it as green, which I'll use as well) and 200 Survival Coins, all of which Yue Zhong put into his bag.

After doing all this, Yue Zhong jumped onto Little Greenie's back and rode him back towards the city.

Chapter 194: Seize Power!

[Level 3 Treasure: Dark Magic Sword. This is an extremely sharp-edged magic sword that has the power to slice through gold and split jade.]

[Level 4 Skill Book: Second-order Shadow Steps. Advanced Shadow Steps Skill! Only after Shadow Steps Skill has been enhanced 3 times can this skill be learnt. After activating this skill, Agility can be increased by 90 points in a timespan of 5 minutes and 40 points of stamina are consumed.]

Yue Zhong carefully examined the Dark Magic Sword in his hands, a model similar to the Tang Sword in sharpness. Its whole body was black, the blade was 1.5m long and etched upon it were strange runes. The sword hilt had three grooves and the whole body of it exuded a cold chill.

Yue Zhong played with the Dark Magic Sword for a while and rejoiced in his heart, before immediately putting it back into his Storage Ring.

As for the Second-order Shadow Steps Skill, it was directly thrown by Yue Zhong into the Storage Ring and stored there.

When the Z-series zombie had died, the remaining 100,000 zombies were no longer able to organize a large-scale siege. Once Yue Zhong had returned to the base camp, he had immediately let most of his comrades go back and rest.

After the present day's battle, Yue Zhong's elite troops went around putting out fires everywhere; although they had gained strength, the amount of stamina they had lost wasn't small. Every one of them was tired and once they lay down on their beds, they fell into a deep sleep like dogs would.

From time to time, gunshots sounded from the North Gate, where the governmental forces were guarding; it was the shooting experts among the police, special police and armed police forces eradicating the normal zombies.

Among the government-controlled armed forces, there were also many marksmen, especially the elites in the special police and armed police forces, who had already undergone rigorous training before the 'end of the world'. After, they progressed very quickly, and so many of them became marksmen.

As night fell, there was no moon in the sky and the whole earth was shrouded in a layer of darkness. There were only a few places that were illuminated by lights.

Under the cover of darkness, Yue Zhong, Cheng Yu and Chen Shitou, as well as the first and second teams directly under him, sneaked quietly into the vicinity of the North Gate.

The North Gate had the same defense system as the West and South Gates, with an IFV as the core, as well as two light machine guns and two heavy machine guns forming a barrage, which blocked the path leading to the inner city.

A team composed of over forty survivors and a dozen policemen was patrolling upon the city walls, to prevent the zombies below from carrying out a siege.

Near the North Gate, more than a dozen houses had been converted to temporary barracks by governmental requisition; they were full of special police, armed police and normal police. If there were any signs of trouble, those troops could emerge from the houses and provide reinforcements to the front line.

Yue Zhong and his men carefully crawled forward, and sneaked up to the IFV. Then they suddenly moved out and rushed in the direction of the IFV like thunder, whilst at the same time, Yue Zhong activated his Art of Fear Skill.

Under the powerful coercion of the Art of Fear Skill, the six policemen and three soldiers surrounding the IFV instantly fainted out of fright.

After Yue Zhong had instantly dealt with those nine armed men, Cheng Yu immediately brought people with him as he quickly approached those nine people and firmly tied all of them up , at the same time gagging them with rags.

Cheng Yu took out a blowgun coated with powerful anesthetic and heavily blew, making a policemen standing guard in front of the building immediately faint.

Almost simultaneously, Yue Zhong activated his Art of Fear Skill and directed it towards the other policeman; the huge mental coercion turned into a straight line that bombarded the policeman's sea of consciousness, directly causing him to faint.

After getting rid of those two policemen, Yue Zhong and his men rushed into the building. The team of elite soldiers closely followed behind Yue Zhongand quickly rushed into the building too.

When Yue Zhong arrived in front of a room, the Dark Magic Sword in his hand lightly struck towards the room's lock, and broke it off like cutting through tofu.

Upon opening the door to the room, he saw that there were only eight policemen who were fast asleep with barely any defenses. They had never thought that Yue Zhong would attack right when the zombies had retreated.

A team infiltrated the room and very skillfully stunned those eight policemen, before tying them up and gagging them.

Using this method, Yue Zhong and his men raided room after room, capturing the policemen, armed policemen and special policemen who were all asleep and stunning all of them.

"What are you people?"

When Yue Zhong and his group reached the seventh floor, a policeman who came out to urinate saw them; his complexion paled and he loudly shouted.

Yue Zhong's figure flashed and he rushed towards the policeman in just a few moments; he used his hand like a knife to hack at the policeman's neck, and the policeman fainted.

TL: Like this

However, that policeman's sharp cry alerted the other policemen.

After Yue Zhong and his men took advantage of the opportunity to capture all the policemen in a room who didn't have time to arm themselves, they finally faced resistance from the remaining police.

Six policemen with Type-54 Pistols guarded over a path, unceasingly opening fire to stop the advance of Yue Zhong and his men.

Yue Zhong activated his Encompassing Body Armor Skill for the first time and bone armor with astonishing defense quickly covered his entire body.

He endured the shots coming from the six policemen and crazily rushed forward; the bullets hit the bone armor on his body and ricocheted away, not even able to leave a trace on it.

In under six seconds, Yue Zhong covered a distance of 100m and appeared in front of those policemen. With one strike for each, he chopped at the policemen's necks and they all fainted.

After finishing off those six policemen, Yue Zhong and his men directly charged up to the police and special police blocking the way, stunning all of them in one move. In situations without devices like 40mm rocket launchers, grenades and other heavy weaponry, normal bullets simply couldn't penetrate through the bone armor covering Yue Zhong.

Grinding up the enemies like a tank, Yue Zhong rampaged like a devil, chopping at all of the policemen blocking the way and making them faint. He KO'ed all the way up to the top floor.

Chen Jianfeng (Leader of the Survival Camp) saw how Yue Zhong took big steps into the command room, covered in bone armor by means of activating the Encompassing Body Armor Skill. He let out a long sigh, saying,

"So it turned out to be you, Yue Zhong! There are some things that I still don't understand, why would you launch a raid at this sort of time? In the present situation, only if our two sides join forces can we block this time's zombie siege."

In the whole base, there was only Yue Zhong's faction that had the power and ability to launch a raid on the governmental forces. When Chen Jianfeng heard the gunfight from below, he inferred who the intruder was. It was just that he wasn't able to understand why Yue Zhong would launch a raid on the base at this sort of time.

Even if Yue Zhong had forcibly seized the base's power, as well as the police, special police and armed police forces, he would temporarily have no way of making use of them. Without the test of time, if Yue Zhong gave weapons to those police, special police and armed police forces, there was a possibility that the other side would immediately turn on and open fire towards him.

Behind Chen Jianfeng stood Wei Fei, who was glaring at Yue Zhong with an appearance full of the desire to battle.

(Note: Wei Fei is the dude who we saw a while back. He's the captain of the special police squadron, likes to think he's good at fighting and has decent strength)

Yue Zhong stared at Chen Jianfeng and said slowly word by word,

"Mayor Chen! I have already gotten rid of this time's zombie horde commander. Although there are still 100,000 zombies outside, there is nothing to fear. Eradicating them is only a matter of time. You should surrender! Over half of your subordinates have already been captured by me. If you continue to stubbornly resist, both sides will only suffer from meaningless casualties and nothing more."

It was only because he had gotten rid of the commander amid the zombies that Yue Zhong dared to launch a raid on the government's side. Otherwise, in order to keep hold of the base, he would choose to temporarily get along in peace with the government.

Chen Jianfeng fell silent for a while before sighing,

"Alright! I surrender!"

The current balance of power was already very clear: Yue Zhong's side had control over a large number of survivors and troops. Also, over 70 of the base's combatants were gathered in this building. If Chen Jianfeng continued to let people resist, that would only create more casualties and hold no meaning.

There were relations between Chen Jianfeng and Chen Yao, therefore he knew that Yue Zhong counted as a qualified leader. Therefore, in a hopeless situation, he was unwilling to let others die in vain.

"The tides have been set!"

After hearing the words of Chen Jianfeng, Yue Zhong lightly let out a sigh of relief as well. If Chen Jianfeng let people continue to resist, casualties might appear in his men. Amid the ranks of the police, special police and armed police, there were also many snipers. In street fighting, they were the most formidable killers. If the battle was with Yue Zhong's first and second squads, in which every member was an elite evolver whose level exceeded 10, even they might be hit by a headshot from far away.

Just then, Wei Fei, who was standing next to Chen Jianfeng, stepped out; he looked at Yue Zhong and spoke in a voice full of the desire to fight,

"Yue Zhong! I want to have a fight with you!"

Yue Zhong glanced at Wei Fei and he frowned,

"If I fight with you, what's in there for me?"

Wei Fei's eyes flashed and he said word by word,

"If you have a single victory against me, I will work for you! If you lose, help me properly take care of Mayor Chen's family. Let me bring my God Devil World equipment and leave the base."

Wei Fei had once received Chen Jianfeng's kindness. Only now would he be able to dedicated his life to Chen Jianfeng. With his current power, as long as he did not encounter a massive wave of zombies, he could live alone outside the base very comfortably. He wanted to continuously strengthen himself and not be bound by leveling up by wantonly killing zombies. Subsequently, he proposed to have a battle with Yue Zhong as he wanted to gain satisfaction.

Yue Zhong glanced at Wei Fei, then said in a low voice,

"Good!"

Right after Yue Zhong's words had landed, a light flashed in Wei Fei's eyes and an invincible murderous aura spread out from his body. He took a step then rushed forwards like a cheetah towards Yue Zhong , waving a Tang Sword in his hand as he chopped towards Yue Zhong's body.

Wei Fei had already gone through many wars and at this time his enhanced level had already reached up to Level 26; also, he had enhanced the Level 2 Skill High-speed Movement twice. At this time, when he activated his High-speed Movement Skill, his whole person became like a ghost. It actually overwhelmed Yue Zhong's agility, which had been enhanced many times. In the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Yue Zhong and the sword cut fiercely into Yue Zhong's waist. The sharp Tang Sword struck onto the tough bone armor and emitted a clashing metallic sound, whilst simultaneously leaving a shallow sword mark.

Chapter 195: Wipe out the zombies!

TL Note: Dark Magic Knife has been changed to Dark Magic Sword. The term used is rather ambiguous and can mean both.

This chapter seems longer than usual T_T but it seems to be the end of an arc. I'm really quite curious about what happens next. I hope that Lei Cheng hasn't been forgotten yet…

"How fast! He is also a speed-type evolver!"

Yue Zhong was caught off guard when Wei Fei chopped at his body. He immediately brandished his sword and chopped at Wei Fei's right shoulder.

Wei Fei's reaction was highly sensitive and his swordplay was superb; he flicked his sword upwards and fiercely clashed with Yue Zhong's Dark Magic Sword that chopped down.

The two swords met with a huge, explosive force; Yue Zhong and Wei Fei both took two steps back. Based on physical strength, they were equal. The God Devil World equipment on Yue Zhong were excellent, but Wei Fei had the backing of the base- the majority of the base's good equipment landed on him, therefore the enhanced strength provided by his items wasn't far from Yue Zhong's.

After probing the disparity in strength between both sides, Wei Fei's figure flashed and like a phantom, he moved at high speed in a series of blurs. He launched a hurricane-like attack towards Yue Zhong; one attack after another, he slashed at Yue Zhong from all directions.

Yue Zhong could only retract his line of defense, barely withstanding Wei Fei's slashes. Before the 'end of the world', Wei Fei had already practiced brilliant swordplay with famous masters; his accomplishments in swordplay were much greater than Yue Zhong's , and every time Yue Zhong struck out with his sword, it would easily be negated by Wei Fei. In addition, his strategic attacks were even able to leave hints of scars on Yue Zhong's bone armor. If he didn't have the protection of the bone armor, Yue Zhong, who had never been properly trained, would long have been defeated.

Ever since the 'end of the world', it was the first time that his plot armor had been broken through Yue Zhong had faced this sort of expert. Even Ji Qingwu, whose swordplay was exquisite, didn't give him that much pressure.

"This tortoiseshell-like defense is truly too hard to deal with!"

Wei Fei evaded an attack from Yue Zhong and slashed towards his right arm: however, there was the clashing, metallic sound and the attack only left a shallow mark.

Seeing this scene, Wei Fei couldn't help to start feeling a trace of powerlessness. He had already slashed Yue Zhong's body nine times; if the protection of the bone armor wasn't present, then every slash could make Yue Zhong lose power. However, with the protection of the bone armor, he couldn't even leave light injuries on Yue Zhong. In front of Yue Zhong's strong defense, the speed that he was initially proud of now seemed a bit weak.

"Not bad! This fellow's power isn't weak! I should deal with him now!"

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold light and he activated his Gravity Manipulation Skill; continuous ripples of gravity spread out with him acting as the center. Wei Fei was affected by the gravitational ripples and his body suddenly sank, making his movements become contorted.

At that moment, Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps Skill and his whole person's speed surged, overwhelming Wei Fei. He took one step out and fiercely bombarded Wei Fei's abdomen with a meteor-like punch, sending Wei Fei flying backwards a few meters. Wei Fei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed onto the ground with no strength left.

"Do you want to continue?"

Yue Zhong pointed at empty space and a sharp bone spike shot out of his palm, looming at Wei Fei's throat. If Wei Fei moved, that sharp bone spike could pierce through Wei Fei's throat.

"No need, you've won!"

Wei Fei let out a wry smile and was panting heavily. The power of the bone armor defense on Yue Zhong's body was too amazing; from the moment he had no way to break the defense, it implied that he had already lost for the most part of the battle.

Since Wei Fei had been defeated, there was now nobody who could stop Yue Zhong.

With Chen Jianfeng's cooperation, the whole base's remaining police, special police and armed police had surrendered to Yue Zhong. The whole base's authority had also landed in Yue Zhong's hands.

Once the base's authority had landed in Yue Zhong's hands, the troublesome matters had only just began. A series of troublesome things like the base's security, the distribution of goods, hygiene, the distribution of food, appeasing the people's hearts and so on all approached Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong dismissed all the officials in the base of their duties, only letting them keep some of their private belongings. However, the first people to seek refuge with him, Kong Tao and Chen Zhiguang, as well as others who were worthy, were able to be kept and help deal with some home affairs. Chen Jianfeng was also removed from his duties and only assisted Yue Zhong in dealing with home affairs with his identity as a Chief of Staff.

(Note: Kong Tao does public relations-he led Yue Zhong to a nightclub a while back to try and please him. Chen Zhiguang welcomes people to the base- after learning Yue Zhong's an evolver, he tried to curry favor with him)

Chen Jianfeng had strong capabilities and he was handy in dealing with home affairs. Nevertheless, Yue Zhong didn't dare to completely hand over the governmental powers into his hands.

Morover, for the officials and their children who liked to extort and rape women, the most heinous crimes resulted in being directly killed. The rest were all sent by Yue Zhong into the scum battalion for use as cannon fodder.

In front of Yue Zhong's powerful army, even those people who held complaints in their hearts didn't dare to disobey his orders.

From the police side, all sorts of inner (familial) connections and the trash who did nothing but eat were eliminated, only leaving the policemen with ability and a sense of justice. They had rich experience in maintaining law and order, and were much better in this aspect than Yue Zhong's comrades who had half-baked backgrounds.

The two strong special police and armed police powers were directly disbanded by Yue Zhong and the members were divided into small, individual squads. Before, the special police and armed police were actually the strongest armed forces that Chen Jianfeng grasped, and so there were many sharpshooters with extraordinary skill among them.

Some of the special police's individuals even had battle power above that of Yue Zhong's elite first and second teams.

After going through the simpler procedures, Yue Zhong mobilized his troops and launched a large wipe-out of the zombies outside the town, with the IFVs and other heavy vehicles as the center of the attack.

The four IFVs and the battalion of heavy vehicles led the assault, grinding back and forth over the zombies. Then all the units took turns to battle, using the Replica Tang Sword to crazily behead those normal zombies. The evolved zombies were fought by Yue Zhong's most elite, immediate first and second teams, who beheaded all of them.

Without the orders of the Z-series zombie, those normal zombies were just a complete mess; against Yue Zhong's troops, who were armed to the teeth and were continually being strengthened, they had almost no strength to fight back. After three days of fierce fighting, Yue Zhong finally wiped out the 100,000 zombies surrounding the outside of the base. The price paid was that a lot of fuel was consumed, 20 people from the scum battalion were infected and 30 (normal) survivors were also infected.

"Victory! Victory! The 100,000 zombies outside of Qing Yuan County have already all been wiped out by the men under Captain Yue!"

Not long after the last wave of zombies was eradicated by Yue Zhong, news of the victory immediately spread across Qing Yuan County.

Upon hearing news of the victory, the slightly lifeless Qing Yuan County became excited again and cheers sounded throughout the town.

The matter of the 100,000 zombies outside of Qing Yuan County was constantly suspended above all the townspeople's heads like the sword of Damocles. If the town was broken into, all of the people in Qing Yuan County would be torn to pieces by those zombies. The event of Yue Zhong and his men wiping out the 100,000 zombies was truly uplifting.

"Due to wiping out most of the zombies, Captain Yue has decided that for today's rations, everyone will get an extra sweet bun."

(Note: the Chinese characters used actually mean 'welfare meals', but I thought that 'rations' would work better. If you think that I should change it back to the original, please leave your thoughts in the comments.)

The second announcement immediately then spread among the crowd.

Hearing this message, the survivors of Qingyuan were even happier and praises of Yue Zhong were constantly heard. The majority of the survivors had always relied on rations to survive and had almost never eaten until they were full. For a bun, many women would even be willing to sell their own body. Right now, Yue Zhong had announced that everyone could receive an extra sweet bun, so naturally that would make them excited.

When the rations were being handed out, every survivor had a greedy, starved light exposed in their eyes as they saw hamper after hamper of white buns. The survivors that had received those sweet buns ate them in large mouthfuls, their eyes full of a brief happiness.

Most of the survivors felt very content towards the white buns that Yue Zhong had distributed; however, there were also those who were unsatisfied with such treatment.

(Note: So the next part can be considered slightly racist, but in a lot of stories the bad guys are always the government officials and/or foreigners.)

In one residential area, 43 foreigners of different skin color each held a bowl of gruel and a sweet bun. They looked at each other with bitter faces. Before, they were among the privileged residents of the specialty region; although they were unable to eat as they wanted there, like before the 'end of the world', they would definitely not go hungry. They simply didn't put meals like gruel and buns in their eyes.

A black man looked at the bowl of gruel in his hands and said in a slightly vulgar way,

"Damn! It's gruel again. We've already eaten this sort of stuff for three days now. Right now I've got diarrhea. Oh, God! This bastard Yue Zhong is really too stingy."

(TL Note: So I said I wouldn't censor anything unless absolutely necessary, but out of courtesy to those who may be eating something while reading this, I changed the 'diarrhea' part from the original because… well just copy this '我现在拉出来的屎都是浆糊。根本不成条。' into some machine translator and you'll know.)

A blonde, blue-eyed, middle-aged woman with a slightly obese figure called Felicity frowned; she looked at the black man and said,

"Ekko! Please can you be a bit more civilized when you talk, your statement has made me lose my desire to eat."

(Note: wow, loads of notes in this chapter. Anyway, I have no idea on how to translate '艾克', despite searching it up in loads of online dictionaries and stuff. If anyone knows, please tell me in the comments. For now, I'm using 'Ekko' because '艾克' is also the name in Chinese for the League of Legends hero~)

Ekko shrugged, coldly smiled and continued to disgust Felicity,

"These disgusting things are just like my vomit from this morning. Watching you eat those things is just like watching you eat my vomit. Oh, God, this is really too amusing."

Ekko's words made the foreigners gathered around lose their appetite; they glared at him one after another.

A gentle-looking young man wearing glasses called Choi Min-ho said,

"This will not do. I suggest that we should come together, find this place's supreme ruler Yue Zhong and have a talk with him. To fight for the rights we should have."

"Good!"

"Choi Min-ho, you should be our representative!"

"I choose Choi Min-ho to be our representative!"

One after another, those 43 foreigners elected Choi Min-ho as their representative, hoping that on their behalf, he could negotiate with Yue Zhong to obtain the treatment that they wanted. This was the principle of 'shoot the bird that takes the lead', which was not only understood by the Chinese people but also by the foreigners living in China, who were very clear on this.

(Note: '枪打出头鸟' = shoot the bird that takes the lead- a Chinese proverb that basically means that the foreigners want Choi Min-ho to take one for the team.)

Choi Min-ho finished his sweet bun in a couple of mouthfuls, stood up and righteously said,

"Good! I will represent everybody and go fight for the treatment that everyone deserves."

Choi Min-ho also wasn't a fool. He understood the principle of 'shoot the bird that takes the lead'. However, if it was well-maneuvered, the bird that takes the lead wouldn't necessarily be unable to turn into the leader. Risks and opportunities always coexist.

Wang Shuang (3rd year Uni student saved by Yue Zhong near the start of the series) found Yue Zhong practicing shooting at the shooting gallery and said with a headache,

"Captain Yue! Those foreigners are making trouble and want to see you!

Yue Zhong put down his gun and his eyebrows furrowed. He slowly asked,

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shuang let out a wry smile and said,

"The 43 foreigners in the base have formed a group and are strongly requesting us to give them humanitarian aid and fair treatment in accordance with international practice."

"Humanitarian aid? Chen Jianfeng and his people have really fattened up these foreigners' courage. I am just going to see them once."

Yue Zhong smiled coldly and strode outside.

Chapter 196: Deal with the foreign friends!

Very quickly, Yue Zhong reached the western district's square, only to see that 43 foreigners stood there. There were both men and women among those 43 foreigners and they were all well-dressed; like dogs, their appearances hadn't been 'baptised' by the 'end of the world' in the slightest. Before, when the base was in its most difficult time, it didn't let these foreign friends suffer any hardships.

Seven of Yue Zhong's official members stood at the side armed with rifles, coldly staring at those foreigners. If they moved in the slightest, a bullet would mercilessly penetrate through their bodies.

Yue Zhong walked up to the center of the square, overlooked the 43 foreigners below and said icily,

"I am the one called Yue Zhong. If you have anything to say then quickly speak, as you only have this one chance."

Yue Zhong did not actually hate foreigners. It was just that the base's treatment towards the foreigners was much better than to the country's people themselves. Whilst a large number of compatriot survivors were starving, those foreigners were living carefree in the specialty region. It was this that made Yue Zhong feel very uncomfortable. Receiving worse treatment than the foreigners upon their own country's ground, Yue Zhong really didn't know whether this country was the foreigners' or his own.

"Chief Yue Zhong, hello. I am Choi Min-ho, chairman of South Korea DY Group's Asian Division! I hereby submit a request on behalf of the following friends from Japan, America, Italy and the United Kingdom. We hope that you can comply with international practice and provide us with humanitarian assistance."

"We are very fond of China, this beautiful, mysterious, friendly and culturally advanced country. We have always followed the rules of your country China and have not done anything that has violated your country's laws. Therefore we hope that you protect our private property and give us fair treatment." Choi Min-ho lightly smiled towards Yue Zhong and said.

Foreigners as despotic and arrogant as Toshi Kameda were not that many; the reason he could behave that way was because he was closely colluding with the base's senior officials. Toshi Kameda had the resources to be arrogant. The 43 foreigners gathered on the square basically did still abide with China's laws. Even within the base, their behavior was still much better than that of the senior officials and their children. This was also something they relied on to dare to come up with a request for Yue Zhong.

(Note: Previously, chinanovel translated Toshi Kameda as Gui Tianshou, which is what it is in Chinese. However, it's said that he's Japanese, so I tried my best to translate the name into its Japanese version. To remind any readers, Toshi Kameda was a Japanese VIP who was 'trampled over' by Yue Zhong and later assassinated or something.)

"I say this with much regret, Mr Choi Min-ho! All things like international practice and humanitarian aid don't work here in my place. The only thing I can do is be fair and treat you and other people equally. If you want enough to eat, then you must do the same as other people and work. If you don't work, then you can only receive an amount of rations that will not be able to fill up your stomach."

"Of course, if you think that the treatment at my place is harsh: as compensation for you abiding with China's laws, right now you can all take your personal belongings with you and leave. I will not stop you. Wang Shuang, you can just follow this principle to deal with them. If they make trouble again, send the men to the scum battalion and the women will be incorporated into the third labor camp." Yue Zhong lightly said those words, then turned around and left.

After the 'end of the world', order collapsed and morality fell. Many men released the dark incarnation from their hearts and committed various crimes. The majority of women were weak but in the same way, many of them also cruelly* committed various felonies like eating, killing and abusing people. These women were dealt with mercilessly by Yue Zhong in the same way: those who deserved death were directly killed, whilst the women who didn't quite deserve the death sentence were put into labor camps.

(*Note: the idiom used here literally means 'with a cruel heart and poisonous hand', basically 'cruel'.)

These slave laborers had no human rights- not only were they held in prisons, they also had to do heavy labor. If necessary, they would be given to soldiers who had made great merits to enjoy. One of the most important reasons for the existence of females was that they could give birth. As long as there were offspring, the race would be able to continue.

With the keynote that Yue Zhong had set down, Wang Shuang's courage was boosted. He looked at Choi Min-ho and the other foreigners, all of them looking rather pale, and said loudly,

"All of you, come over here to report your specialty. We will allocate jobs to you depending on your specialty and those without any ability will become laborers. Of course, if you take your private property and leave this place right now, we will also not stop you."

(Note: the original phrase for 'laborers' was actually 'coolies'. 'Coolies', which is a proper word, just sounds kind of strange to me, so I stuck with 'laborers'.)

At this time, there were still many zombies littered around Qing Yuan County. Without any methods of transportation, if normal people left the city, they might immediately be devoured up completely by those zombies. Choi Min-ho and those foreigners naturally weren't stupid and could only go up sensibly to report their own specialty one by one, then let Wang Shuang make arrangements.

As he watched the foreigners who, before the 'end of the world', had a social status far above him obediently come up to him one by one and report their specialty, a sense of superiority spontaneously welled up in him. There was even a French woman who threw him a flirtatious look. By now, Wang Shuang had already grown to become a Level 13 Evolver and he kept two beautiful women. Back then, if he hadn't been determined to follow Yue Zhong, right now, he would either have landed in the mouths of zombies or he would be the lowest level survivor bitterly struggling amidst cold and hunger.

Yue Zhong had just returned to the shooting gallery when Xu Zhenggang came up to him. Looking at Xu Zhenggang, he felt a bit surprised and asked,

"What happened?"

After Xu Zhenggang had accepted Yue Zhong's recruitment and joined his forces, as always, he didn't have the intention of improving their personal relationship. He always stayed among his own squad members and trained them; during battle he was also the first to rush up to the front line with a very strong desire to fight. Xu Zhenggang really was the perfect role model of a soldier, the best knife.

(Note: 'best knife' sounds somewhat strange but I couldn't think of any other way to put it than to literally translate the term. Its meaning should be clear though.)

With a straight face, Xu Zhenggang slowly said,

"Captain Yue! I believe that there is a problem with the current establishment of our armed forces! Not including the scum battalion, our current armed personnel have already exceeded 500 men. Using the crude establishment of teams, squadrons, brigades and the like to command the troops to launch a coordinated attack is very problematic. If our armed forces continue increasing, this sort of model is not conducive to our command and control over them. Personally, I think that we should initiate a formalized reorganization of the troops whilst our armed personnel are still not that many in number."

When Yue Zhong had originally reorganized the teams at Always Bright Village, he didn't think too much at the time. It was just that he had wanted to organize an elite squad, pass through the zombie hordes and go back to Guangxi to find his loved ones. Yue Zhong didn't have a military background and he also didn't have much experience, therefore he only ended up forming a bizarre, crude establishment consisting of a team, squadron and brigade.

(Note: Always Bright Village was where Yue Zhong overthrew Tiger, before he headed to Longhai City Base.)

For searching for supplies and battles on a small scale, this type of crude establishment didn't have many problems. However, with one glance, professional military officers like Xu Zhenggang would be able to make out the shortcomings of an establishment as such, that it wasn't conducive to the control and mobilization of a large force. Also, the prospects of promotion for the squad members wasn't clear enough- being promoted to the official team meant already reaching the peak.

Yue Zhong understood everything instantly.

(岳重一点就透?)

"You mean to carry out a reorganization of the troops in accordance with the establishment and model of the regular army?"

Xu Zhenggang rigidly handed a copy of the information to Yue Zhong.

"Right! The current military establishment has already undergone the test of time and practice. There are basically no major oversights. I believe that we should reorganize according to the establishment and model of the regular army. This is the establishment that is able to emerge from our current military strength, please have a look."

Yue Zhong received that copy of information to have a look, only to see that upon the copy, it was written clearly that the military strength of his powers could be reorganized into a reinforced battalion, with four reinforced companies under its management. Even the number of people in each company and the basic equipment required was clearly written down. It was only for the military officers of the individual companies and platoons that nothing was written.

After Yue Zhong finished reading that information copy, he said towards Xu Zhenggang,

"I know now! I will consider it, you withdraw first!"

"Yes!" Xu Zhenggang performed a standard military salute towards Yue Zhong and then withdrew.

The rumor of Yue Zhong preparing to reorganize the troops spread very quickly among the captains of each team. Many people had their hearts heat up and people began walking around in Yue Zhong's area more frequently.

In the establishment of that battalion, Yue Zhong himself would naturally serve as the commander. The person he chose as deputy battalion commander was Chi Yang, which no one objected. However, regarding the officer positions below battalion commander- company commander, deputy company commander, platoon commander and deputy platoon commander- people couldn't help but be tempted.

Three days later, Yue Zhong summoned all of the main personnel under his command to Qing Yuan County to have a meeting.

The seats in the meeting room had long been filled up with the captains of each team under Yue Zhong's command, all of them from different social classes. Before the 'end of the world', some were farmers, some were villagers, some were soldiers, some were prisoners, some were students… there were all kinds of people gathered together here due to a strange combination of circumstances, yet between them, they still formed small groups in accordance with their status and motives.

Sitting beside Liu Yan, Kong Tianyu cracked a smile and said,

"Captain Liu, this time I will congratulate you first. You began following Captain Yue the earliest, it looks like the position of a company commander won't escape from you."

(Note: Kong Tianyu is a ruthless guy under Yue Zhong's command. I have no idea when he appeared- if anyone does know, please tell me in the comments. Liu Yan is an ex-gunman of Tiger, whom Yue Zhong overthrew.)

Liu Yan glanced in the direction of Chen Shitou and slowly let out a sigh,

"Not necessarily. Chi Yang can definitely become the commanding officer of a company. Ji Qingwu will maybe become the commanding officer of a company as well. Captain Yue always holds Da Gouzi in high regard, maybe he can also become the commanding officer of a company. There is also Chen Shitou, whose daughter has an ambiguous relationship (affair) with Captain Yue. He also isn't weak in strength and so he is another candidate for the company commander positions. Wang Shuang is actually Captain Yue's classmate and his earliest follower. That fellow Xu Zhenggang has outstanding military accomplishments and puts his whole heart into developing the armed forces. He has the support of Wu Guang and others from the former army as well, and is also a candidate for the company commander positions. Ah, the competition is fierce!!"

Kong Tianyu's eyebrows furrowed and he thought for a moment: it really was as Liu Yan had said, the competition for the company commander positions truly was fierce to the extreme.

The captains of the other individual teams were also discussing between each other in low voices, mainly about the four company commander positions. One company commander would be able to have 100 subordinates. Even amid Yue Zhong's influence, they would be a vital officer.

Just then, Yue Zhong strode into the meeting room, with Guo Yu, who was wearing a professional suit, following behind him as if she were his shadow.

As soon as Yue Zhong entered the meeting room, all of the captains quietened down, their eyes full of glows as they looked towards him.

After he sat down and observed the surroundings, Yue Zhong said to Guo Yu,

"The meeting officially starts. Guo Yu, come read out my decision."

Chapter 197: Reorganize the troops!

"We'll now announce Captain Yue's personnel appointments. From today onwards, the official teams will be disbanded, all personnel will be converted to military personnel and supplies can be obtained in accordance with the corresponding military rank."

"In accordance with our side's current armed forces, the regiment will consist of four battalions. The post of Regiment Commander will be held by Yue Zhong, who shall also hold the post of Commander of the 1st Main Battalion. The post of Regiment Vice‐commander will be held by Chi Yang, who shall also hold the post of Commander of the 2nd Main Battalion. The Vice‐commander of the 1st Main Battalion will be Xu Zhenggang. The Vice‐commander of the 2nd Main Battalion will be Liu Yan. The Commander of the 3rd Defense Battalion will be Da Gouzi and the Vice‐commander will be Wang Shuang. The immediate Commander of the 4th Special Combat Battalion will be Ji Qingwu and the Vice‐commander will be Cheng Yu."

(Note: Cheng Yu is an assassin whom Yue Zhong recruited a while ago.)

"The 1st Main Battalion will manage four companies. The Commander of the 1st Company will be Liu Yan and the Vice‐commander will be Zhao Xing. The Commander of the 2nd Company will be Kong Tianyu and the Vice‐commander will be Lang Zi. The Commander of the 3rd Company will be Chen Shitou and the Vice‐commander will be Xiao Ming. The Commander of the 4th Armored Company will be Wu Guang and the Vice‐commander will be Lang Zi.

(Note: Zhao Xing is from the Chen Family's Village; Lang Zi used to be under Xu Zhenggang's command; Chen Shitou was the best hunter from the Chen Family's Village; Xiao Ming is an ex‐gunman from Always Bright Village; Wu Guang also used to be under Xu Zhenggang's command.)

"The 2nd Main Battalion will manage three companies. The Commander of the 1st Company…"

"The 3rd Defense Battalion will manage two companies. The Commander of the 1st Company will be…"

"… The 4th Special Combat Battalion will be directly under Captain Yue and no one else has the right to mobilize the battalion."

After the entire base had landed in Yue Zhong's hands, the number of people under his control had already broken past the mark of 10,000. After the 'end of the world', men had relatively strong bodies and thus their survival rate was quite high. Among the 10,000 people, there were over 5000 men, whilst the rest were women and children. If Yue Zhong engaged carelessly in military activities, he would be entirely capable of pulling out a large army of 4000 men.

Nevertheless, the result would be that there'd be a shortage of manpower in all aspects. Subsequently, Yue Zhong only established four battalions with just over 1000 men.

The 1st Main Battalion under Yue Zhong's command had over 400 people altogether, grouping a large number of the elite soldiers and evolvers together. Moreover, those who previously had a military occupation were greatest in number and formed one of the strongest battalions.The majority of the soldiers in Chi Yang's 2nd Main Battalion had already experienced the battle in Qing Yuan County; those who had fought with the zombies also gained an enhanced element of survival, but their strength was still much less than that of Yue Zhong's 1st Battalion.

Nevertheless, they were all evolvers and didn't lack courage when fighting zombies, so as long as their training was stricter, their strength would not be weak. Da Gouzi's Defense Battalion only had two companies (platoons) of veteran evolvers, while most of the rest were newly recruited survivors, whose strength in melee combat might not even exceed that of the Scum Battalion.

The Special Combat Battalion that Ji Qingwu presided over assembled the outstanding evolvers whom were under Yue Zhong's command: Cheng Yu, Wei Fei, Gu Zhixing and others who had extraordinary strength or whose level exceeded 15. These evolvers had great ability and the aim was for them to be used like a sharp, indestructible blade.

(Note: Wei Fei= guy Yue Zhong fought with a couple of chapters ago. Gu Zhixing = Flame King Gu.)

With assassinations and blasting, each one of them could fight one against ten when hunting high‐leveled zombies and mutated beasts.

(暗杀、爆破、猎杀高等级丧尸、变异兽,人人都能够以一敌十。?)

However, evolvers like this were very rare and currently, Ji Qingwu's Special Combat Battalion only had 23 people.

Once the integration of the military was complete, Ji Qingwu's Special Combat Battalion received rigorous training from the former elite, special soldier Wei Fei and the former top killer Cheng Yu. The evolvers of the Special Combat Battalion had all been enhanced to a very high degree and had all hunted over 100 zombies. It was just that the majority of them were like Yue Zhong and didn't come from any particular background, killing weaklings such as normal zombies, which they could rely on their absolute power to easily pulverize. However, in order to deal with the cunning of humans, without the corresponding military achievements and fighting capability, it wouldn't be possible. For instance, with a skill like scouting, if the person had not undergone rigorous training and hadn't received guidance from their seniors, it would be very hard for them to become an excellent scout.

The difference between evolvers and normal humans was that after undergoing enhancement, an evolver's physique would be much stronger in quality than the average person. In this way, as long as an evolver underwent rigorous training, their strength would be able to rival that of those special forces from before the 'end of the world'.

Apart from the Special Combat Battalion, Yue Zhong's other individual forces all started their formal military training; the two main battalions practised combat whilst also starting their military training under the guidance of Xu Zhenggang and those other former government army officers.

Yue Zhong had even specially opened a military academy, with himself as Principal. The few platoon leaders who had come to his side to seek refuge from the government became lecturers and explained a variety of military combat skills to each of the commanding officers of Yue Zhong's forces.

The zombies in the vicinity of Shang Lin County, who were preparing to attack Qing Yuan County, were all swept away. Yue Zhong immediately sent people to Shanglin to search for a large quantity of supplies. The supplies that Yue Zhong controlled instantly became even richer and more diverse. In that battle, the fuel consumption was great, but that was compensated for by what was obtained from the petrol stations in Shanglin County and its vicinity, thus therewas still a surplus.

Shanglin County was renowned for producing imitations of well‐known electric vehicle brands. In the county, therefore, there was a large amount of components involved in the production of electric vehicles and motorcycles. At the same time, there was a large number of half-completed electric vehicles and motorcycles. Those electric vehicles and motorcycles were transported back and the two main battalions were equipped with them.

In a situation as such, where there weren't enough APCs (armored personnel carriers), these motorcycles and electric vehicles could greatly strengthen the mobility of Yue Zhong's side.

Right after the consumption of fuel had been solved, another urgent issue was placed in front of Yue Zhong: the ammunition that they had stocked wasn't enough to support them if they were to fight a large battle.

Even if Yue Zhong was frugal, after going through many large battles like recovering the grainery, protecting Qing Yuan County and recovering Big Cliff Village, the consumption of the ammunition that he had stocked up was inevitable. Currently, all that remained of the ammunition Yue Zhong had stocked up on was one‐third of what he had once recovered from the military compound. As for the IFVs, his trump cards, each one only had two boxes ofammunition left.

When going to Shanglin County to search for supplies, Yue Zhong and his team had also discovered many pleasant surprises. They had found two mutated water snake scales en‐route. Apparently, those zombies were only interested in the flesh and blood of the mutated beastsand not the scales, which they had no way to digest.

At the shooting gallery, Yue Zhong had just began his shooting training; both of his hands were steady and with a Type 03 Rifle, he fired 10 consecutive shots at a target 100m away. After those ten shots, ten bullet holes appeared in the place of the '10' ring on the target (bullseye). In just ten shots, Yue Zhong had actually reached a terrifying score of 100. Yue Zhong looked at that target from afar and his eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. Ever since the 'end of the world', there wasn't a single day where he stopped training his shooting skills. His hard work had finally brought him a huge achievement. Yue Zhong turned his head around to look at the little loli Yao Yao, who was wearing a small‐sized military uniform and also holding a Type 03 Rifle. He wriggled his finger at her provocatively.

Yao Yao rolled her eyes at him and lifted up the Type 03 Rifle, which, to her, was gigantic; she aimed at a target 100m away and fired ten consecutive shots. After those 10 shots, 7 bullet holes appeared on the '10' ring of Yao Yao's target, 2 bullet holes appeared on the '9' ring and 1 bullet hole appeared on the '8' ring. This loli Yao Yao had actually also received a good score of 96.

Yue Zhong looked at Yao Yao's target from afar and the little bit of smugness in his heart vanished into thin air. He had been continually improving, yet this loli Yao Yao's progress was even more monstrous than his, making him feel slightly depressed. It's important to know that the first time both sides competed at shooting, Yao Yao's shots were all off‐target. As Yao Yao watched the target in the distance, her adorable little cheeks showed a depressed expression. This time, she had lost to Yue Zhong again. Yue Zhong glanced at this loli with outstanding talent and lightly smiled. He questioned,

"You've lost! This time, what have you decided to lose to me?"

Normally, Yue Zhong and Yao Yao would place some bets on their competition. Yao Yao mostly sought for free time to hang around outside. On the other hand, Yue Zhong liked seeing this genius loli Yao Yao's difficult appearance.

Yao Yao hesitated for a moment before having a feel in the pockets of her military uniform. She pulled out a sharp dagger and handed it to Yue Zhong, saying,

"I lose this to you."

To Yao Yao, this sharp dagger for self defense was a very important item.

Right when Yao Yao was going through her pockets, with his sharp eyes, Yue Zhong spotted something that shouldn't have been there appear in his field of vision. His face instantly darkened and with one hand, he grabbed the loli Yao Yao. From her pockets, he turned out a grenade.

(Note: the raws say 'sweet potato grenade'. I assume this is not an explosive root vegetable, but rather a grenade that is shaped somewhat oddly.)

"Wait a moment, what's this thing?"

Yao Yao looked at the grenade in Yue Zhong's hands and her little face paled. She twisted her petite body and tried to escape. This grenade was what she had just stolen from the Special Combat Battalion. She also knew that this sort of thing could not be seen by Yue Zhong, otherwise it would be over for her. However, Yue Zhong's big hands were like pincers‐ no matter how much Yao Yao struggled, she was unable to break free from his big hands.

"This should be what you've stolen! You little rascal!"

Yue Zhong pressed Yao Yao down firmly onto his thigh with his left hand, his right hand spanking Yao Yao's little buttocks with a 'pa pa pa'.

(Note: now, I know some people enjoy the xxx scenes, but I don't think this is what you're looking for.)

"Wa!!!!" After Yao Yao's bottom had been hit by Yue ZHong a few times, her eyes were red and she started crying loudly.

"And you're still crying! Stealing things isn't right in the first place. If this was in an Arab country or somewhere similar, your hand would be directly chopped off. Moreover, this sort of thing is too dangerous. Even with a moment of carelessness, your small physique would explode into pulp. And you still dare to play with anything!" Yue Zhong scolded as he stared at Yao Yao. If naughty children like her weren't given a bit of a lesson, she could overturn the heavens.

Yao Yao clenched her teeth and stared at Yue Zhong with her slightly red eyes and an extremely unyielding, stubborn appearance.

"Never mind! This time I'll let you off! This grenade is confiscated! Go back and properly attend lessons!"

Originally, Yue Zhong had wanted to detonate the grenade himself to teach Yao Yao how dangerous they were, but then he changed his mind and did not do so. This was because grenades were also scarce resources; back then, if he didn't have a large number of grenades, he wouldn't have been able to kill that mutated rat king.

As soon as Yue Zhong loosened his grip, Yao Yao leapt off of his thigh and both of her red eyes stared at him, looking reluctantly at the grenade in his hands. Then she swiftly ran off, until not even her shadow could be seen.

Right after Yue Zhong had taught Yao Yao a lesson, Xia Yue and Gao Ying were brought by two soldiers up to him.

(Note: Those two people told Yue Zhong where this military base was in exchange for being taken back to Long Hai City Base.)

Yue Zhong glanced at Xia Yue, who always seemed elegant and attractive, and lightly said,

"Miss Xia Yue, would you please tell me what you're here to ask me for?"

After Qing Yuan County had landed in Yue Zhong's hands, Xia Yue and Gao Ying hadn't really been living well. Yue Zhong's treatment towards them was the same as to normal survivors: only by doing work could they have food to eat‐ otherwise, they would only be able to eat rations.

Xia Yue was of noble birth, although before the 'end of the world', she was really nothing more than a college student without any particularly outstanding ability. There were a lot of students with a master's degree or PhD here in Yue Zhong's place, and there were also many with rich work experience. Compared with other people, her only advantage was a beautiful appearance and body.

Xia Yue had no way of finding the job she wanted, therefore she ended up looking for Yue Zhong.

Chapter 198 Xia Yue's Trade!

Slightly weird spacing here, will try to change in the future.

Xia Yue looked towards Yue Zhong and laughed heartily, "I hope to join the new government as an official, with a rank not lower than major."

The separation between the government and army ensured that those of higher positions would not be overcompensated from both sides. After Yue Zhong had carried out the reorganization of the the troops, he also began separating government officials from the military into 2 divisions.

However, due to the fact that they were in a war situation, the government also implemented a rank system. Officials would be compensated accordingly with their rank. Amongst the new government, the rank of a major would represent one of the core members.

Yue Zhong frowned and looked at Xia Yue. He slowly said, "Miss Xia Yue, I am truly grateful that you pointed out the compound to me at that time. However, I did guarantee your freedom as well as a smooth journey to Long Hai Survival Base at your request. We had a clear deal then, if you want to become an essential member of the new government, may I ask, what can you offer in return?"

Yue Zhong knew that Xia Yue was not a fool, he wanted to know what she could offer to exchange for a better life in the future.

Xia Yue pointed towards Gao Ying beside her and lightly smiled,"Gao Ying possesses the complex knowledge of reusing ammunition and he has plenty of experience in it. I assume that you do need someone of his calibre right?"

Yue Zhong's eyes brightened, but then he shook his head, "I already have several people with knowledge in the reusage of ammunition under my wing; just based on this, it is not enough for you to become a major."

After obtaining the base, the first thing Yue Zhong did was to scout for talents. In the midst of those thousands of people, there were 6 who possessed the skill of knowing how to reuse ammunition. Of course, none of them possessed actual experience.

After all, in China, the reusage of ammunition only helped for a short while during the Sino-Japanese War; in the age of new China, with the aid of large-scale manufacturing, the prior technology and knowledge were not worth advancing.

Currently, Yue Zhong had neither the power nor skills to make new ammunition; if he had the skills to, there was no need to rely on the complex re-usage of ammunition.

Yue Zhong's refusal did not cause Xia Yue to even blink- she still maintained her charm and said, "What about an entire arsenal of armed weaponry, are you interested?"

Upon hearing Xia Yue's words, Yue Zhong's reaction was greater than that of seeing beautiful ladies. What he sorely lacked right now was weapons! Advanced weaponry! He could only improve the overall fighting capabilities of his team with enough weaponry.

Yue Zhong stared at Xia Yue and warmly said, "Deal! As long as you help me obtain that arsenal of weapons, I will arrange for you to be a government official with the rank of major."

An exchange of a major rank for an entire supply of weaponry, this transaction was beneficial to him no matter how it was looked at.

Xia Yue looked at Yue Zhong while smiling brightly. As long as Yue Zhong obtained that arsenal of weapons, she could lead a comfortable life. Although she knew the location of weapon storage, she did not possess the capability to obtain it herself. By giving it to Yue Zhong, it would be most beneficial to her.

When Gao Ying joined the ammunition research department, he quickly imparted the technique and knowledge to the 300 people that Yue Zhong had selected to join the department. In the midst of these 300, the ratio of males to females was 50:50, and all of them cherished their jobs, as it meant that they would be able to earn their keep.

However, things were not that simple as Yue Zhong originally thought: while Gao Ying had taught the skills required, the core materials needed were beyond what Yue Zhong's camp could produce on a large-scale basis.

Due to the fact that there were no specialists who could manufacture ammunition, Gao Ying could only head to the processing plants and lead the manufacturing of ammunition heads. The gunpowder and primer required also needed Gao Ying to assign people to manufacture. In a short time, it was not possible to start large-scale ammunition production.

When Gao Ying had finished assigning duties with regards to ammunition, Yue Zhong started his preparations for the assault on the weapon storage facility.

The location of the facility that Xua Yue was referring to lay between Long Hai City and SY City, somewhere in the mountainous area. It was about 300km away from Qing Yuan Country. If it was before the Z-Day, it would have been just a day's journey; however, now that times had changed, the various transportation channels had been blocked, and there was the possibility of meeting with different types of accidents and situations. Yue Zhong could not afford to be hasty, and he wanted to be fully prepared.

Not long after, a huge fleet led by 2 IFVs left Long Hai City, consisting of a machine gun-mounted car, 5 fully loaded Dong Feng Warrior vehicles, 20 hummers, 15 other DongFeng trucks, 4 large modified tankers and 10 modified buses. It wa heading towards the weapons facility under the directions of Xia Yue.

"Captain Yue! There are cars blocking our way in front! There is also a large mob of zombies walking around. Please give your orders on how to proceed!"

On that highway, the entire fleet under Yue Zhong had come to a halt: at a distance of about 200m in front, there were many abandoned cars and zombies shambling around aimlessly.

The reason for zombies appearing here was that these were the previous owners of these private vehicles and they were trapped here. When the world was turned upside down, a huge majority had scrambled in an attempt to flee the city by private transportation. Unfortunately, the moment there was a pile-up, they left their lives here.

Yue Zhong came down from one of the Dong Feng Warrior Vehicles, gazed at a blocked tunnel in the distance and furrowed his brows. These various blocked tunnels were costing him a lot of time. If there was no blockage, this journey of 300km would have been smooth sailing, completed in a day itself.

The various zombies around the blocked highway started struggling and making their way towards the fleet as they became attracted to the sound of the vehicles.

There were over 100 zombies in total and among them, there were even 16 L1s and 6 S1s.

"Liu Yan, take the 1st Company and handle them! It would be best if you don't use any guns!" Yue Zhong took one look at the hundreds of zombies and gave his command to Liu Yan.

"Yes! Captain Yue!" Liu Yan drew the Replica Tang Sword hanging at his waist and shouted at the warriors of the 1st Company, "Brothers, let's charge!"

"Kill!" The warriors of the 1st Company drew out their Replica Tang Swords in sync and shouted with valor; their aggression surged as they advanced towards those zombies.

The 1st Company was formed by various elite warriors after the reorganization of the previous smaller Teams 1, 2, 3 and 4, and they were extremely well-adapted to melee combat. Under the lead of Liu Yan, they quickly made their way into the middle of the horde, slashing their blades nonstop as if they were mowing their lawns. They beheaded many zombies as they went without a single scratch on themselves.

Against these normal zombies, the members of the 1st Company did not even need to utilize any special skills.

"Kong Tian Yu, clear the road!" Yue Zhong ordered.

"Yes! Captain Yue!" After receiving the command, Kong Tian Yu shouted towards the 2nd Company, "Brothers, follow me!"

After he finished speaking, Kong Tian Yu brought his men and started to clear the vehicles on the road carefully. Amongst those cars, there were still a number of corpses trapped between or within them. When the team encountered these zombies, they would immediately cut off the zombies' head viciously. After clearing the zombies, those evolvers who focused on their strength helped push the cars to the sides. This was followed by warriors who carried equipment to suck out the fuel from these cars and load them into fuel tanks.

The absorbing of fuel from these abandoned vehicles was an important and necessary step when searching for resources. In the short-term, fuel was a non-renewable resource- Yue Zhong's strength was partly due to his conservative measures as well. Other than the officials of the government and military, no one else had vehicles that they could use as they liked.

Currently, in Qing Yuan County, the preferred mode of transport was by bicycle. Many workers opted to cycle their way to work. These bicycles also naturally became an indispensable and preferred mode of transport within Yue Zhong's establishment. Many felt proud to own one.

In truth, be it in Qing Yuan County, Big Stone Town or Stone Horse Town nearby, all those abandoned cars would usually be stripped and dismantled, and any sort of parts and engines would be brought back. Even the steel casings could be brought back to be recycled and processed. The spare tires would also be brought back for other uses. However, they came across these cars during an expedition, Yue Zhong prioritised the recovering of the fuel only; he could only ignore the other usual practices for now.

The cars were pulled aside one by one and emptied of their fuel.

Right at this time, a giant approximately 3.5m tall with thick arms and feet walked out of one of the highway exits. It had a body covered with extremely hard scales and its eyes were filled with intelligence and were emitting a terrifying aura. It held a mutated cow's carcass in its right hand and its mouth was smeared with fresh blood.

[Level 45 Type-2 Infection Evolved L3. It possesses strange strength and extremely tough scales. It possess the Infection ability, and can turn a living being into an infected one.]

Yue Zhong received the notification the moment he laid eyes on that L3.

That L3 also saw Yue Zhong and his troops; it tossed the half-eaten carcass of the mutated cow aside, before striding forward towards them with big steps.

Yue Zhong looked at the L3, pointed his finger at it and magic flames appeared out of thin air. He rapidly shot a fireball at the L3's body.

With a 'boom', the L3 received the fireball directly, yet its body only shook slightly; its steps did not waver, and it continued advancing towards Yue Zhong. There was not even a single burn or scratch on its face.

Due to its height of 3.5m, with every step the L3 took, its stride was twice that of normal humans and its speed was seemingly faster than an S1 by 3 times.

"All units standby!" When Yue Zhong saw that the L3 was unharmed by that fireball attack, he gasped silently. After giving the order, he rushed towards the L3 with haste.

Chapter 199: L3！

Yue Zhong approached the L3 while continuously firing at it with a Type 03 Rifle. The rifle bullets hit the scales of the L3 and ricocheted off it one after another, unable to cause any traces of damage in the slightest. Yue Zhong had long been mentally prepared for a situation in which the Type 03 Rifle had no way of causing harm to the L3. After he rapidly drew closer to the L3, he brandished the Dark Magic Sword and slashed at the L3's thigh. The L3's body was much too large- it would be very difficult for Yue Zhong to behead the L3.

Yue Zhong's sword chopped onto that L3's thigh and there was the sound of metal clashing. With Yue Zhong's huge strength that was 4 times a normal person's, that Dark Magic Sword, which could even cut through gold and jade, only just cut open the L3's scales when the force of the attack erupted. It merely penetrated less than 1cm into the L3's flesh.

To the 3.5m tall, giant-like L3, that 1cm deep wound simply didn't amount to much. It waved a fist and with a piercing 'whoosh' sound, the attack bombarded towards Yue Zhong like an incoming artillery shell.

"Too hard! Fucking bastard!" Yue Zhong swore in a low voice and took one step to the left, evading the L3's vicious blow in an extremely graceful manner.

The L3's fist didn't lose any strength as it pounded onto the earth and that incomparably huge strength erupted, blasting out a large hole in the concrete ground. The surrounding ground shook slightly.

Upon seeing this, Yue Zhong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If that fist full of strength had bombarded onto Yue Zhong's body, even with his enhancements, his bones would still be fractured and his body doomed.

(Note: I translated '骨裂身亡' rather literally as 'fractured bones and doomed body'- you can guess the meaning anyway :p)

Yue Zhong's figure flashed and he went around to the back of the L3 with 7 times a normal person's agility; he raised the Stinger and fired two consecutive shots at the back of the L3's head.

The two Stinger bullets struck the back of the L3's head and left two holes that were 2cm deep.

"It's still good! The Stinger bullets can still harm it!" Seeing this, Yue Zhong lightly let out a sigh of relief. If even the Stinger bullets couldn't harm the L3, that L3 was too terrifying and tricky.

After being hit in the back of the head two consecutive times by Yue Zhong, that L3 was also enraged. It turned around and sent another fist bombarding towards him. Yue

Zhong's speed was far above that of the L3's and there also weren't any surrounding zombie hordes to block the way: his figure flashed and he easily evaded that, before going behind the L3 again.

Yue Zhong took out a grenade and directly threw it at the L3.

The majority of zombies didn't have the concept of dodging and so the grenade successfully collided with the L3's right leg, producing a tremendous noise. That grenade made a huge explosion on the L3's thigh.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Yue Zhong looked closer and saw a scene that made him incomparably panic-stricken. The explosion of the grenade had actually only left a big hole in the scales of the L3's thigh, exposing the grey bones within, which had a very metallic luster; not even the bones had been fractured.

That L3's eyes flashed with an ominous hint and it chased behind Yue Zhong, waving a fist and striking towards him.

Yue Zhong's body bent, evading that L3's attack, before taking advantage of the opportunity to appear near the L3's thigh: he slashed at the dense area where the bones were exposed.

The sharp Dark Magic Sword chopped onto the L3's grey bones and actually made a few sparks fly out; the huge recoil was transmitted along the hilt of Yue Zhong's sword and shook his right hand until it stung. His attack had only left a shallow mark on the L3's grey bones. If he wanted to fracture the L3's bones, he might be able to do so only if he slashed at the same spot for dozens of times.

The L3 waved a fist that bombarded towards Yue Zhong, forcing him to retreat again.

Yue Zhong went behind the L3 and activated the Encompassing Body Armor Skill; after he was covered in bone armor, a bone spike shot out of his right hand into the ground, supporting him as he rushed forward to the back of the L3's head. Rapidly, he pressed the Stinger against the back of the L3's head and fired four consecutive shots.

The four rounds of Stinger bullets were constantly fired through the same wound in the L3's head. After the four shots, that L3 actually still hadn't died; instead, it angrily waved its hands behind itself and a fist came bombarding towards Yue Zhong.

"What a hard skull!!" Yue Zhong was greatly startled. The bone spike extended and he evaded one of the L3's vicious attacks, only the bone spike supporting him was bombarded into pieces by the L3's fist.

When Yue Zhong landed on the ground, he immediately put away the Stinger and whipped out the Dark Magic Sword. With a few flashes, he moved up to the front of the L3 and slashed many times at the L3's grey bones, hoping to break the bones in its feet.

The L3 was furious and waved a fist that bombarded towards Yue Zhong, forcing him to retreat.

(Note: best fight scene ever, L3 waves fist and bombards, Yue Zhong retreats, rinse and repeat. I suppose it's kind of realistic though?)

That L3 possessed both outstanding defensive power and incomparably tyrannical attack power. Its only weakness was that its speed was slow and so the L3 simply couldn't even touch Yue Zhong's body, which had undergone many enhancements.

Nevertheless, its tyrannical defensive power gave Yue Zhong endless headaches.

"Damn it!!" After Yue Zhong had slashed at the L3 for dozens of times, he rapidly took a few steps back and with the flick of a hand, a Type 40 RPG Launcher appeared out of thin air.

Yue Zhong pulled the trigger and a rocket shell bombarded that L3's right leg with a huge 'bang'. That L3's right leg was finally broken by the terrifying power of the rocket shell and the L3 itself was also sent flying by the explosion; it lost its balance and collapsed onto the ground.

Upon seeing this scene, Yue Zhong also let out a light sigh of relief; if even the Type 40 RPG wasn't able to get rid of this L3, then the situation would be troublesome.

Yue Zhong instantly activated the Devil Flame Skill and a group of crimson-colored flames arose from his right palm. His figure flashed and he rushed towards that L3.

That L3, which had collapsed to the ground, swatted at Yue Zhong as if he were a fly.

Yue Zhong jumped up and evaded that L3's vicious attack, before jumping onto its back. With the violent flames on his right hand, he fiercely bombarded the L3's head. The violent flames enveloped the L3's head and the searing heat made its brains begin to boil. As long as it kept on burning, even if the L3's skull could withstand being shot with a large-caliber bullet, its brains would still be cooked by Yue Zhong's flames.

However, zombies relied on their diseased brain tissue to coordinate their actions: as soon as their brain tissue was cooked, they would also die.

The L3 had already evolved to have vision and was able to feel some pain, and also had an awareness of danger to some degree. It waved its large hands and swatted behind itself at Yue Zhong, wanting to chase away this fly that it hated.

Yue Zhong instantly activated his Shadow Steps Skill and his speed surged to the limit; he dodged the L3's attacks whilst continuously using the Devil Flame to crazily burn away the L3's head.

That crimson-colored flame constantly enveloped the L3's head and didn't stop; 15 seconds later, both of the L3's arms were finally powerless and it dropped to the ground. A large, glowing spiritual ball entered Yue Zhong's body.

[Congratulations on rising to Level 36, you have gained 2 enhancement points!]

[Congratulations on rising to Level 37, you have gained 2 enhancement points!]

"Enhance Stamina by 2 points and Spirit by 2 points!" Only after he got rid of that L3 did Yue Zhong finally let out a sigh of relief. He thought for a while and chose to enhance his physical strength and spirit.

In this time's fight with that L3, Yue Zhong had employed 3 skills in a row, thus his consumption of stamina and spirit was not little. In order to have sustainable battle power and the ability to activate skills at any time from this day onward, he chose to enhance stamina and spirit.

"This Yue Zhong really is frightening, he can actually even kill a monster like this!" Xia Yue watched Yue Zhong get rid of the giant-like L3 and her heart was filled with shock. She had witnessed Yue Zhong's tyranny before- it was just that this time, it gave her the most tremendous shock. That L3 was an invincible, terrifying existence that not even grenades could kill, yet it was actually killed by Yue Zhong. This naturally made her endlessly horrified in her heart.

After that L3 had died, a Skill Book, a Green Treasure Box and 200 Survival Coins burst out from beside its body.

[Level 4 Skill: Rebirth!

This is a passive skill that can only be learnt in situations where vitality is above 100 points without the assistance of equipment. In addition, the evolver's profession must mainly be that of the battle type in order to learn this. After learning this passive skill, even heavy injuries like broken limbs or crushed bones can slowly recover unless the person has died on the spot. Lost limbs can be regenerated and the speed of regeneration depends on your body's vitality and how much energy is absorbed during the recovery process.]

[Level 3 Treasure: Power Belt! After equipping this, strength increases by 6 points.]

"This skill is truly too good!" Yue Zhong looked at that Level 4 Skill Rebirth and his eyes flashed with a strange light. He had to learn this passive skill: after learning this, even if he lost an arm, it could grow back again.

It was only that upon seeing the requirements to learn the Rebirth Skill, Yue Zhong's eyes lightly flickered. Having to reach 100 points of vitality without the boosts from any equipment wasn't an easy condition. Currently, Yue Zhong only had 61 points of vitality without his equipment on; if he wanted to reach 100 points, it would be too unrealistic to achieve it purely through leveling- he would need to distribute 20 levels' worth of points to vitality.

Right when Yue Zhong was putting his spoils of war into his inventory, a large L2 walked over in front of him and its fist fiercely bombarded towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's figure flashed and he immediately went behind the L2; he slashed at the L2's head and instantly sent it flying. The Dark Magic Sword was extremely sharp and in Yue Zhong's hands, it could already send an L2's head flying: however, if he wanted to kill an L3 with it, the Dark Magic Sword wasn't sharp enough.

"Continue to clear the road!" Yue Zhong didn't look at that L2 again and ordered.

With the efforts of Kong Tianyu's 2nd Company, the cars blocking the road were all pushed aside and a big path was cleared for the main forces.

During the clearing process, there were also 4 intact Hummers that joined Yue Zhong's fleet and once again, the fleet had expanded.

The fleet travelled for another day and stopped beside a branch road in accordance with Xia Yue's instructions.

"The arsenal is right inside there! As long as you keep on walking along this lane, you'll be able to see it." Xia Yue said to Yue Zhong as she pointed at an ordinary lane leading into the remote mountains and ancient forests.

(Note: 深山老林- basically leading into the wilderness.)

Yue Zhong looked at that area of wilderness and his eyebrows lightly furrowed. The tyrannical mutated beasts were greatest in number in this sort of undeveloped remote place. Even the slightest mistake would result in the destruction of his only elite main battalion here in this place.

"I will first go to scout, you people wait here for orders!" Yue Zhong ordered.

Chapter 200: Mutant Wolves!

Yue Zhong and a driver rode in a Hummer, following the lane leading into the weapons facility that was hidden deep within the mountains.

"Liang Hu! Fall Back! Fall Back!" All of a sudden, Yue Zhong had a premonition and he immediately shouted at the warrior responsible for driving.

Liang Hu immediately set the Hummer in reverse and retreated crazily.

From the forest, a number of giant wolves with grey fur and bodies as sturdy as lions leapt out like lightning, landing on the ground. If Xu Zhenggang had advanced earlier, he might have crashed into the midst of those giant wolves.

Yue Zhong activated his Eyes of Perception Skill and the information of the giant wolves immediately flooded into his brain:

[Level 35 Mutant Beast- Type: Mutant Grey Wolves. They possess tough skin and sharp claws, which can even tear through steel. Furthermore, they are usually gathered in packs, hence they are a tougher opponent to face.]

Yue Zhong lifted his gaze, only to see that the total number of wolves actually exceeded a hundred; he could only imagine how tough these wolves were before the 'end of the world' and his scalp went numb.

Those 100 Mutant Grey Wolves immediately rushed towards Yue Zhong and his subordinate with horrifying speed.

"Retreat quickly!" Yue Zhong quickly took out his Type 03 Rifle, aimed at the Mutant Wolves and fired three shots.

Those 3 bullets were aimed specifically between the eyebrows of 3 of the wolves: however, they become embedded in the fur and didn't penetrate the skin. It was obvious that while the toughness of the fur could not match the Mutant Water Pythons' scales, it was not that weak either.

On the contrary, the speed of the wolves was much greater than the water pythons= by running at their maximum speed, they could still chase the Hummer and the distance between was gradually decreasing.

"Go call for backup! Let them come with reinforcements! I will hold them off!" Yue Zhong activated his Bone Armor and jumped down from the vehicle. If there was no one to hold the wolves off, even Liang Hu would be killed alongside with the Hummer.

Receiving Yue Zhong's command, Liang Hu knew he would not be of much help by staying and hence he sped off.

The moment Yue Zhong landed, he pointed his ring at the Mutant Wolves and a huge fireball instantly shot towards one of the wolves; it exploded upon impact, killing it immediately.

After killing a wolf in one attack, Yue Zhong shot out a bone spear with his right hand, supporting his leap towards higher ground on the side. Those wolves had claws that could cut through steel and so Yue Zhong did not dare get surrounded in their midst.

(Note: alright, it's bone spear from now on. It sounds better than spike, although it's not really what the raws say.)

When the unfortunate wolf died under Yue Zhong's fireball, 7 or 8 of the other wolves immediately made short work of its carcass, tearing into it aggressively. The rest of the wolves were leaping towards Yue Zhong as they jumped up onto higher ground.

With a single slash, Yue Zhong killed the foremost Mutant Wolf and followed up with another shot of his bone spear to send himself up on to a tree.

When he was up on the tree, Yue Zhong immediately retrieved the Stinger and fired 2 shots at the wolves below. With Yue Zhong's superb marksmanship, 2 more wolves died miserably when their heads exploded. Their corpses were also cleaned out by their companions without a thought.

With the flip of his hand, Yue Zhong drew out a JS12.7mm Sniper Rifle into his hands. This was one of the items he had recovered when sweeping through the army barracks. Yue Zhong supported the JS12.7mm rifle in his arms, then immediately aimed and fired at the wolves below him.

With a single loud "peng", a hole appeared in the Mutant Wolf's head and it fell lifelessly onto the floor; likewise, it was torn apart by its companions.

"Luckily for me, wolves don't know how to climb trees. If not, it would be problematic!" Yue Zhong sat on the tree, calmly picking of the wolves one by one with the JS12.7mm rifle. The only regret was that the killing of these Mutant Beasts with the usage of non-system weapons did not give him any experience.

After Yue Zhong had killed about 7 of the wolves with the rifle, one of the them suddenly leapt upwards, and stuck its sharp claws into the tree, making its way up the tree one step at a time (TN: more like paw by paw eh?

divinecelestialbeinglol: that's very funny Kun).

Yue Zhong's face paled and he immediately fired a shot at the wolf, making its head explode.

However, it was too late: as if they had all gained the instinct, one by one, they started to throw themselves onto the tree and made use of their claws to climb up it.

It was just that before Z-Day, wolves were not beasts that could climb trees, but after the events of Z-Day, their bodies had undergone huge enhancements. Yet to suddenly gain the ability to climb trees well, that was not too plausible.

Those making their way up the tree proceeded slowly; after Yue Zhong observed for a while, he kept the JS12.7mm rifle and made use of his knife to behead one of the Mutant Wolves that had just managed to climb up the tree, sending its head flying.

Even when the wolves were climbing up from all directions, Yue Zhong remained calm and beheaded each and every wolf that made its way up as if he were harvesting grass.

After killing 5 wolves in a matter of seconds, the rest of the Mutant Wolves jumped down from the tree. They were not as unintelligent as the normal zombies. When they failed in an attempt, they would think of other methods. As the wolves came down from the tree, Yue Zhong reverted to using the JS12.7mm rifle to take out the Mutant Wolves.

Staring at Yue Zhong atop the tree, one of the Mutant Wolves' eyes flashed and it took a vicious bite out of the tree. After evolving, these wolves had teeth and claws that could pierce through steel- the force behind their bites could only be imagined from this. With just one bite, a huge hole appeared in the tree. The rest of the wolves noticed and immediately started attacking the tree with a crazy fervor.

Wood chips flew everywhere and huge holes appeared one after another; as the wolves bit frenzily, Yue Zhong shot down 2 of the Mutant Wolves. At that moment though, the tree was finally bitten into two and it fell to the ground.

Just before that, Yue Zhong had extended the bone spear with his right hand, piercing through a tree someplace else before retracting it. The bone spear brought him towards another tree, rendering the efforts of the Mutant Wolves for naught.

Seeing how slippery Yue Zhong was, the Mutant Wolves patrolled for a while before heading off. Had they been normal zombies, they would've waited there dumbly and be picked up off one by one by Yue Zhong. However, these Mutant Wolves had left in the end, highlighting the differences between Mutant Beasts and Zombies.

Yue Zhong saw that the wolves were leaving and his face changed; he immediately jumped down from the tree. He lifted the Stinger and fired 2 shots at the escaping wolves, killing 2 of them by exploding their heads.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's taunts, the Mutant Wolves changed directions immediately like a tornado and rushed towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a strange light and he slashed six times almost instantaneously: 6 of the wolves which had just pounced towards him were cut into two in mid-air, blood spraying everywhere.

Out of the 7 wolves that had charged at Yue Zhong, one of them had dodged Yue Zhong's fatal attacks; it came up in front of him and bit down furiously on his Bone Armor. Under the ferocious attack of the Mutant Wolf with teeth like steel, Yue Zhong's armor cracked and bits of bones were sent flying; however, it was not bitten through. Yue Zhong waved the sword and directly sliced towards the head of the Mutant Wolf.

As for the parts of the bone armor that were bitten, with just a small squirm, the cavities were filled.

Upon seeing this, Yue Zhong's mood calmed down: relying on the safety of the tree, he slashed everywhere, and each and every wolf that reached him died under his blade. If there were too many Mutant Wolves gathering around, Yue Zhong would then immediately make use of the Bone Spear to travel atop the tree.

After Yue Zhong had made short work of another 23 Mutant Wolves, the rest of the wolves decided not to be swept into his pace and set off escaping into the woods, ignoring his taunts and challenges.

"These mutant beasts are really tough to deal with!" Yue Zhong leapt down from the tree, looked at the 30 plus Mutant Wolves' corpses, and furrowed his brows.

While these wolves were vulnerable to Yue Zhong's attacks, with regards to the main battalion that he had just established, only the heavy machine guns and infantry making use of the ZPT90-type 25mm cannons could deal serious damage to these wolves.

ther than that, the normal warriors could only use grenades or rocket launchers to even pose a threat to them. That was not to say that they could be used freely, as those weapons were powerful yet scarce resources, their amount dwindling with every usage. As of now, Yue Zhong's encampment did not possess much heavy weaponry.

Yue Zhong looked at the various corpses lying around, and used his Dark Magic Sword to slice open one of the Mutant Wolves' head, searching for its nucleus and blood essence; however, he did not manage to find any nucleus, just blood essences of various sizes.

Yue Zhong was delighted, and quickly kept all the corpses into his storage ring.

After cleaning up the loot into his ring, Yue Zhong immediately set off towards the direction he came from with haste.

Within moments, Yue Zhong saw his 1st Company already on their way to provide reinforcements. With the 2 ZPT90-type 25mm cannons, even if the wolves were to attack again, Yue Zhong had confidence in annihilating them.

Liu Yan saw that Yue Zhong was covered in the wolves' blood, and asked worriedly, "Captain Yue, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" He waved his hands, looked towards the front and hesitated for a while before ordering, "Let's continue onwards!"

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's orders, the entire fleet embarked on their route forward, the arsenal of weapons providing them with a strong sense of temptation as only a peerless beauty could.

"Stop!!" After advancing for quite a distance, Yue Zhong once again called for a stop- at the same time, he got down extremely quickly from the Hummer.

Right in the middle of the road, a Dong Feng warrior vehicle loaded with machine guns seemed to have been stepped on by some gigantic monster; it was flattened beyond recognition and dark red blood was scattered around the vehicle, giving the entire scene an extremely strange vibe.

Chapter 201: Fearsome Beast!

Yue Zhong continued to look ahead, only to see that on both sides of the path, there were all sorts of different bullet holes scattered around. There were even massive craters that had been created by explosions.

In front, the wreckage of the Dong Feng warrior vehicle loaded with machine guns was scattered everywhere. However, the thing that creeped Yue Zhong out the most was that 2 IFVs had actually been overturned onto the roadside and pulverized by an unknown force into something similar to discus.

In addition, after a careful observation, Yue Zhong discovered that almost every military vehicle had traces of being penetrated through by a sharp object.

All the signs indicated that reaching the arsenal lying ahead obviously wouldn't be smooth sailing- rather, the dangers would be numerous and there was even a terrifying existence that could easily destroy a killing machine like an IFV.

"Retreat! All of you retreat outside of this area. Wait for orders!" Yue Zhong immediately ordered as he carefully observed the surrounding environment.

On this lane, two IFVs had already been overturned; even if those two IFVs had joined his fleet, they still might not be of great use.

Bear in mind that these two IFVs were Yue Zhong's treasures: at the very last battle with the zombie hordes at Qing Yuan County, had there not been four IFVs leading a large number of heavy-duty trucks to grind up those normal zombies, then even if Yue Zhong could bring his men to wipe them out, it wouldn't have been that easy.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's orders and seeing the wreckages of military vehicles strewn all over the ground, Liu Yan also realised the seriousness of the matter and he immediately turned back around with his men.

Right at this time, one after another, giant boars up to 3m tall that resembled miniature tanks appeared before the eyes of various people from one side of the arsenal. They had long, sharp tusks and they were covered in a layer of black scales.

[Level 43 Mutant Beast: Black-Scaled Ferocious Boar! It is a ferocious mutant beast that has both strong defense and attack. Their tusks can easily pierce through everything blocking their way.]

Those Black-Scaled Ferocious Boars obviously didn't come out to greet Yue Zhong and his men. As soon as they appeared, their eyes all turned crimson and they charged towards Yue Zhong and his men.

After Yue Zhong got into the rear of the Hummer, he took out a Type QJZ89 12.7mm machine gun and crazily opened fire at those Black-Scaled Ferocious Boars charging towards him.

The large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets that could even tear through a Dong Feng warrior vehicle bombarded the bodies of those tank-like Black-scaled Ferocious Boars, making sparks fly off as the bullets were repelled; the bullets had no way of even leaving a mark on those Black-scaled Ferocious Boars.

"Damn! What an abnormal defense!" Upon seeing this scene, Yue Zhong couldn't help but swear. 12.7mm large-caliber bullets could even pass through the scales of a Mutant Water Snake or the skull of an L2, yet it actually had no effect on these Black-scaled Ferocious Boars.

Evidently, they had extremely abnormal defense and at the very least, their defense was on the same level of existence as the Mutant Rat King's leather.

In the midst of the fleet, the Type ZPT90 25mm Cannons on top of the 2 IFVs swivelled around and terrifying flames instantly began surging out crazily from them.

Proclaimed by Yue Zhong to be killing machines, the Type ZPT90 25mm Cannons displayed their incomparably mighty firepower. The extremely intense cannon shells exploded on the Black-scaled Ferocious Boars one after another, ripping through that layer of scales with astonishing defense. The explosion made flowers of blood blossom everywhere.

After the cannons had crazily opened fire, a Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's gigantic head was battered into a sieve with fresh blood constantly gushing out. Powerlessly, it collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing that one of its own had fallen to the ground, a clear hint of wariness flashed through the eyes of the other Black-scaled Ferocious Boars. They stared fiercely at Yue Zhong and his men, then raised their heads up to the sky and emitted a huge, pig-like cry.

The next moment, amid the dense forests, countless birds were startled and flew off. One after another, the towering trees toppled over. A gigantic wild boar that was 7m tall and 30m long leapt out from the dense forests and stared coldly at Yue Zhong. Its body was covered in black scales and its eyes flashed with a violent red light; the gigantic wild boar seemed almost indomitable.

[Level 65 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar.]

Upon seeing that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar, Yue Zhong inhaled a mouthful of cold air. That Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar was so huge that Yue Zhong's 2 IFVs seemed like toys in front of it. He finally understood what thing had crushed the Dong Feng warrior vehicles one after another into discuses.

Even if that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar simply stood quietly in place, it would still give people a sort of heavy, pressurising feeling, as if a powerful aura was billowing around it.

That normal Black-scaled Ferocious Boar already had very abnormal defense, but Yue Zhong still didn't know how abnormal that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's defense would be.

Naturally, that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar didn't come out to greet Yue Zhong and then leave; rather, its hooves moved in unison and it leapt up, shuttling through its 23 little brothers like thunder. Very quickly, it rushed to the front of the horde of boars and led the 23 Black-scaled Ferocious Boars to launch an assault on Yue Zhong's fleet.

The Type ZPT90 25mm Cannons on top of the IFVs crazily spewed out flames and countless terrifying cannon shells bombarded the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's body.

However, the outcome that everyone feared the most occurred. When those 25mm cannon shells that could easily tear through an LAV (light armored vehicle) bombarded the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's body, they actually all bounced off it.

Yue Zhong saw that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar and finally understood how those 2 IFVs had been overturned and trampled into pieces.

"Damn! No wonder the two IFVs were both finished by these monsters. It turned out that there was an abnormal fellow like this!"

Yue Zhong activated the Encompassing Body Armor SKill once again and leapt out of the Hummer. If he didn't take action, the main battalion that he painstakingly managed would be crushed into pieces by that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar and its little brothers.

As soon as he landed, Yue Zhong immediately pulled out the Type 40 RPG Launcher, the strongest weapon in his possession. He fired at the rampaging Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar with a 'boom'.

That rocket grenade turned into a streak of light that bombarded the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's massive, chubby face and with a 'boom', it exploded.

After the smoke and dust had dispersed, a fist-sized wound was revealed on the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's chubby face.

That Type 40 RPG Launcher had finally torn through that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's defense. However, to a 7m tall Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar that was akin to a building, that fist-sized wound was almost negligible.

Instead, that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar was angered by Yue Zhong's attack: after it had evolved to Type 2, it had become this area's overlord-level creature. There simply wasn't anyone who dared to provoke it, yet right now, there was actually a tiny ant that had bitten him. Evidently, the injury wasn't heavy, but that still made it exceptionally angry.

That Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar cast aside the fleet, which in its opinion was an existence not even comparable to ants. It leapt up onto a hill and in doing so, it completely crushed a dozen tall trees and the surrounding ground shook.

The Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar had set its eyes on Yue Zhong and charged towards him like a tank; along the way, the trees blocking its charge were all crushed and they collapsed onto the ground. Nothing could stop its charge.

Those 23 little brothers also tightly followed behind their boss and were in hot pursuit of Yue Zhong.

After Yue Zhong launched a rocket grenade, he immediately fled into the depths of the forest without looking back. Even if he had dozens of Type 40 RPG ammunition, he wasn't certain if he could get rid of that massive, building-like Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar, not to mention that right now, the amount of Type 40 RPG ammunition in his hands wasn't even five.

Every time that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar took a step, it was equivalent to Yue Zhong taking 5 or 6 steps. SImilarly, in addition to its extremely high agility, the distance between the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar and Yue Zhong crazily decreased.

"What should I do?" Yue Zhong constantly sprinted at a crazy pace, using the support of the bone spears to quickly leap onto a tall tree.

It was just that the Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar actually kept on stubbornly using brute force to snap the trees one after another, its piggy eyes flashing fiercely with a frightening light. Its appearance showed that it wouldn't stop until it had trampled Yue Zhong into meat paste.

That Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar crushed countless trees that were blocking its way and fiercely collided into the tall tree that Yue Zhong had just jumped up, making it snap.

"Fight!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a hint of a strange light and a bone spear instantly erupted out of his right hand, pushing against that tall tree. Using the reaction force, Yue Zhong was propelled onto that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's body.

When Yue Zhong landed on it, he used both of his hands like hooks to hug it tightly, without daring to let go in the slightest. As soon as Yue Zhong let go, he would be trampled into meat paste by those crazy Black-scaled Ferocious Boars.

That Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar felt that there was someone on its body and constantly shook itself whilst pelting through the forest at high speed.

Lying on the body of that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar, Yue Zhong felt as if he were lying upon a high-speed race car travelling at a speed over 200km/h, and that high-speed race car was constantly changing directions and turning around corners as well. That huge force of drag made both of Yue Zhong's hands shake until they were sore. If his strength hadn't already reached 51 points, Yue Zhong would've been shaken off much earlier.

Yue Zhong wasn't able to do anything as he lay on that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar moving at high speed; he could only tightly cling onto its back and he simply didn't dare to move in the slightest. The slightest movement would result in him being shaken off and sent flying like an artillery shell.

That Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar dashed for sometime before discovering that there was no way to shake off Yue Zhong, who was on its back. It immediately changed tactics and used all of its strength to spring up, reaching 7m into the air before landing.

After it landed, the surrounding ground shook with a huge 'bang'. Yue Zhong, who was clinging tightly onto its back, also felt as if he had gone into freefall from 7m in mid-air and received the huge impact. Even though the impact on that Type 2 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar's back had decreased by a lot, it still shook his internal organs, causing him endless pain. If the toughness of Yue Zhong's body hadn't reached 38 points, this could've given him severe injuries.

Chapter 202: Fierce battle with the beast!

The Type 2 Mutant Black-Scaled Ferocious Boar jumped around continuously, causing shockwaves one after another and making Yue Zhong disoriented; he even suffered some internal injuries. However, as his vitality was 7 times stronger than that of normal humans, his light wounds were constantly healing.

"Damn, if this goes on, I would be killed by this pig!" An idea started to form in Yue Zhong's mind, but it was not easy to climb up the bodies of these monsters. Even if he could make it onto top, he might not necessarily be able to kill it.

At the next jump of the Type 2 Ferocious Boar, right before it landed, Yue Zhong made his move; he used his Bone Armor to shoot out 4 spikes into the ground, supporting him and preventing him from falling with the Type 2 Ferocious Boar.

The moment the Boar landed, Yue Zhong retracted his spikes, leaping with agility onto the head of the Boar.

Making use of his limbs like a nimble monkey, he made his way on top of the Boar's head.

This time, when the Boar prepared to jump high again, Yue Zhong grabbed onto its body tightly.

Right as the Boar started descending, with just a thought, Yue Zhong shot out 4 Bone Spears again that pierced into the ground before frenzily retracting them, allowing him to descend speedily. He appeared in front of the Boar's eyes.

Yue Zhong retrieved the Stinger and fired 3 shots at the Boar's right eye. The Boar didn't even have enough time to blink and its eye was immediately pierced by all 3 shots.

With regards to the majority of living things, the eyes tended to be one of the weaker spots. This Boar was not any different: although its entire body was covered with black scales that were tough enough to block even cannon fire, its eyes were not protected. As long as it did not close its eyes, even a normal rifle bullet could hurt its eyeballs. This time, it received Yue Zhong's shots at point blank range- the bullets pierced through the eyeball and drew fresh blood.

After the 3 shots had hit the Boar, Yue Zhong quickly jumped back onto its body. Currently, the safest place was on top of the Boar itself.

When the Boar's eye had been injured, it went into a frenzy; under the influence of the huge pain, it charged forward while jumping, heading towards the forest while flattening everything in its path like a tank.

Yue Zhong could only hold on tightly and was shaken until he saw stars, but he did not dare let go in the slightest.

When the Type 2 Mutant Black-Scaled Ferocious Boar made use of its strength, its speed outstripped the rest of the normal Mutant Black-Scaled Ferocious Boars and very soon, it had left its 23 little brothers behind.

However, Yue Zhong did not know this and was only concerned about holding on for dear life and enduring the bumps as the Boar continued its speed of 200km/hour.

The Boar continued its rampage for another half an hour before its speed started to decline. Under its explosive strength, it was possible for the Boar to hit a top speed of 300km/hour, but for it to maintain a speed of 200km/hour for an entire hour was not plausible. Although it was an evolved lifeform and had gained mighty strength, likewise, its size had also increased equally. It already consumed a lot of energy and stamina while running, not to say the physical exertion when it was running with all its strength.

In half an hour, Yue Zhong had already dispelled his Bone Armor and White Bones was perched on top the body together with him.

When the Boar had slowed down, Yue Zhong had the opportunity to observe his surroundings, only to find out that the Boar had brought them way beyond the mountains. There was a lush forest of dense trees up to 10 metres tall blocking out large areas of sunlight, only allowing some slight rays to shine through.

"We are actually heading up the hill!" Yue Zhong thought silently as he felt the direction while perched atop the Boar. After running such a distance, the Mutant Boar's right eye had started to scar and it had also started to calm down from its rage.

All of a sudden, the Mutant Boar twisted its body, and rolled towards the ground. Yue Zhong was shocked and hastily jumped down from the Boar's body, before leaping onto a great tree. White Bones followed suit onto another tree.

After the Mutant Boar did a roll, it got back up on its feet quickly and stared at Yue Zhong. It opened its mouth and let loose an earthshaking grunt.

That unearthly sound was really shocking and it caused a terrifying shockwave to propagate outwards in all directions.

When that terrifying sound was transmitted outwards, some bugs, weaker animals and even birds were affected, dying on the spot. The skies seemed to rain with the countless dead birds falling.

Yue Zhong was not spared from the soundwave and both his ears rang incessantly; his brain seemingly faced an onslaught of knives and was on the verge of exploding. His heart rate jumped up by three times and his blood was about to burst out of its vessels. His chest tightened and he threw up a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body falling from the tree like a rag. Meanwhile, blood trickled from his ears, not escaping the damage caused from the shockwave.

After releasing that fearsome grunt, fatigue flashed across the Boar's fierce gaze. That finishing move was gained when it had evolved into a Type 2 Mutant Beast; the might of the attack was extremely heavy-handed, yet at the same time, it consumed a lot of its energy. It could not execute it consecutively, otherwise it would endanger itself as well. However, as it saw Yue Zhong falling from the tree, its eyes flashed with glee and it immediately rushed towards him.

Seeing that Yue Zhong was about to become meat paste under the hooves of the Mutant Boar, White Bones shot out a Bone Spear to push Yue Zhong away from his original position, lifting him up.

Under the pounce of that Mutant Boar, a few of the great trees at Yue Zhong's original position were knocked down and broken, yet the Mutant Boar did not gain anything.

White Bones retracted its Bone Spear, pulled Yue Zhong towards itself and hugged him. The Mutant Boar's soundwave attack may have affected the living things around it, but it was useless to an undead like White Bones.

"Run towards the mountain top!" Yue Zhong was still dizzy and his ears were ringing nonstop, deaf to any other sound. His head felt like splitting and he could not control his body at all, so he could only leave it all to White Bones.

Yue Zhong's other pet Greenie had undergone evolution during slumber almost right after its meal of the Z1, which was why he did not bring it along during this mission.

If he had Greenie with him, with its flight capability, even if Yue Zhong was helpless against this Type 2 Black-Scaled Ferocious Boar, escaping would not be an issue.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's order, White Bones immediately carried Yue Zhong and headed towards the mountain peak with haste.

The Mutant Boar stared at Yue Zhong who had hurt it twice and was now being carried away by White Bones; it knocked away the trees blocking the way and immediately gave chase.

As of now, White Bones possessed a speed that was 5 times that of a normal human: furthermore, it had the ability to manipulate its bones, and although its speed could not compare to the Mutant Boar, every time the Boar caught up to it, White Bones would shoot a Bone Spear to bring itself up above a 10m tall tree. When the Boar had knocked down and destroyed that tree, White Bones would just immediately send itself up to another tree.

"Move towards the right!" Yue Zhong's vitality that was 7 times stronger than a normal human had finally activated, so although his ears were still ringing, he had regained a little control over his body.

Among the 6 different attributes, the strengthening of each had its own use- not one could be considered a waste or rubbish.

Following Yue Zhong's order, White Bone shot out a Bone Spear towards a tree on the right and retracted it almost immediately, pulling itself and Yue Zhong over.

Seeing that White Bones was about to escape, the Mutant Boar became even more enraged; it took a deep breath, and once again released that horrifying earthshaking soundwave.

Terrifying shockwaves travelled outwards with the Mutant Boar as the centre, exploding most of the smaller and weaker life forms that they passed, killing them instantly.

Yue Zhong immediately activated his [Encompassing Body Armor Skill] and White Bones immediately transformed into the protective covering that enveloped his whole body, leaving not even a single hole for ventilation.

When that terrifying soundwave arrived at Yue Zhong's body, after passing through the layers of White Bone's armor, it gradually weakened and did not pose a threat to Yue Zhong when it did finally reach him.

Yue Zhong immediately shifted his body and continued escaping towards the right.

After finding out that its roar had no effect, the Mutant Boar seemed to become sluggish; however, it could not let go of its hatred and continued rushing towards Yue Zhong in a frenzy.

After running towards the right for about 100m, Yue Zhong suddenly halted and flipped his right hand, pulling out a Type 03 Rifle and pointing it at the approaching Mutant Boar. He started shooting towards the crazy-looking beast.

The Mutant Boar's face became riddled with countless rifle bullets and the bullets bounced off its face.

Yue Zhong's firing did no damage to the Mutant Boar, only serving to enrage it further, and its speed suddenly soared, pouncing like a lightning bolt towards Yue Zhong with all its strength.

Yue Zhong immediately shot out 2 Bone spears, sending himself into the sky, resulting in the Mutant Boar pouncing onto thin air. In fact, Yue Zhong was standing at the edge of a cliff; since the Mutant Boar had missed the pounce, its forelimbs landed on thin air and its body weight sent itself tumbling off the cliff.

Just before the Mutant Boar fell into the cliff abyss, it made use of its tail to strike viciously at Yue Zhong and that monstrous strength caused even the exterior Bone Armor to cave in. Yue Zhong also suffered a broken rib and threw up a mouthful of fresh blood, before falling into the cliff abyss as well.

Chapter 203: A Huge Harvest!

The cliff was a few hundred metres deep, so if Yue Zhong fell from that height, even he would become meat paste.

Just when he had been falling for a short time, with just a thought, he shot out a Bone Spear from his Bone Armor that pierced the cliff wall, supporting him and preventing him from freefall.

As for that fierce and extraordinarily brutal Mutant Boar that was like a tank, it continued its unfortunate descent and crashed heavily onto the bottom of the cliff.

While hanging in the air, Yue Zhong gritted his teeth and bore the pain in his chest, immediately taking out the medicinal pills made from the Life-Saving Grass and swallowing them. He moved his hands and shot out Bone Spears alternately, descending the cliff wall slowly. His first priority was to determine if the tank-like Mutant Boar, which would not be defeated, was truly dead or not.

After reaching a distance of about 100m from the bottom, Yue Zhong gazed at the fallen body of the Mutant Boar that had chased him till no end, not detecting any movement. There was a lot of blood flowing from its mouth.

From afar, Yue Zhong pulled out a Type 03 rifle and shot at the head of the Mutant Boar. One by one, the bullets bounced off the impregnable scales.

This time, there was no movement from the Mutant Boar; it was apparently dead.

Upon seeing this, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he rejoiced from within. The entire body of the Mutant Boar was a treasure- its scales could even block the firepower of a Type ZPT90 25mm cannon. That was by far the best defence that Yue Zhong had come across: if he could convert them into his armor, his defence would increase by another notch.

Yue Zhong's heart was burning and whilst tolerating the pain in his chest, he used the Bone Spear to support himself down the cliff wall.

When he landed, he quickly climbed on top of the Mutant Boar's head, pulled out his Dark Magic Blade and used all his strength to cut down swiftly, only to find that even after summoning all his strength, all that the Dark Magic Blade did was to leave a white mark on the scales of the Mutant Boar's head. It did not even penetrate a single bit.

"Sure enough!" Yue Zhong frowned and thought earnestly for a while, before activating his [Devil Flame Skill] and a mass of fiery red flames arose in his hands.

Yue Zhong gazed at the fiery red Devil Flame in his hand and with a thought, accompanied by the continuous consumption of his spirit and stamina, the fiery red Devil Flame compressed. After spending 25 points of spirit and 25 points of stamina, a thin red thread of fire was condensed on his right index finger.

Yue Zhong was perspiring profusely; poking into the back of the Mutant Boar with his finger, the highly compressed flame started burning a hole, before finally creating a wound the size of a finger.

Yue Zhong continued to use the highly compressed Devil Flame gathered at his index finger to burn the back of the Mutant Boar and managed to create an opening for the Dark Magic Blade to penetrate through.

After burning the hole, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, as he had already consumed a large amount of stamina and spirit.

When mutated beasts were still alive, they were very resilient- the wounds that were created on the Mutant Boar's body when Yue Zhong shot 40 rocket grenades at it had already recovered, and even the scales had grown out once again.

Yue Zhong had also tried using his Devil Flame to rip off the skin from the Boar, but to no avail.

He thought for a while, before jumping down from the Mutant Boar's back and quietly rested for 20 minutes while recovering the spent stamina and spirit.

When the 20 minutes had passed, Yue Zhong quickly jumped on to the Boar's face with White Bones.

With a thought, White Bones got into a prone position, its body shooting out layers of Bone Spears and thus creating a Bone Platform in front of the Mutant Boar's eyes.

Yue Zhong swiftly got on the platform, pulled out his Dark Magic Blade and summoned his strength to pierce the eye of the Mutant Boar. This time, the sharpness of the Dark Magic Blade could be employed, breaking through the eyeball of the dead Mutant Boar.

Yue Zhong continually hacked and cut using the Dark Magic Blade, before finally managing to retrieve the eyeball; he released a load of bloody meat in the process and the unpleasant smell of blood filled his nostrils.

He hesitated for a while, but the desire to obtain any possible nucleus or blood essence won over his disgust towards the stench. He began making cuts into the flesh of the Mutant Boar, and burrowed within its head.

After 20 minutes, with his whole body covered in specks of red and white mucus, Yue Zhong stepped out of the body, holding a black shiny nucleus the size of a fist and a red blood essence the size of 2 fingers.

Upon emerging from the body of the dead Mutant Boar, he immediately jumped into a small creek beside the body to enjoy a cold bath, washing off the grime and blood on him.

White Bones suddenly shot out a Bone Spear into the the body of the Mutant Boar through the eye socket until it reached the skull and activated its [Bone Manipulation Skill, continuously absorbing the bone essence of the Mutant Boar.

Yue Zhong only took a look at White Bones and retrieved various barbeque equipment and condiments from his storage ring. Then he directly started roasting a chunk of meat from the dead Boar.

The scales of the Mutant Boar were extremely tough and the same applied to about 10cm of the meat that was under the scales, yet the flesh further deeper was soft and fresh, with a certain tenderness and chewiness. After roasting, the flavour was beyond comparison and Yue Zhong wolfed down 3 bites.

[Congratulations, you have gained 1 point in Endurance!]

When Yue Zhong had just eaten the 3rd chunk of meat, the pleasant sound of a notification resounded.

Hearing the sound, Yue Zhong became distracted and a thought flashed in his mind, "Don't tell me that eating the meat of advanced types of mutated beasts can grant enhancements?"

Before this, Yue Zhong had eaten the meat of the mutated beasts many times, yet did not gain any enhancement. Becoming stronger from the meat of an advanced type was also a first for him.

After he heard the notification, he immediately took great bites, making short work of 7 – 8 chunks of meat, yet there were no further notifications.

However, even though there were no enhancements, he felt that his stamina and spirit seemed to be recovering faster after eating the meat.

"What a treasure!" After finishing his meal, Yue Zhong looked at the Mutant Boar the size of a house and his eyes flashed with greed.

The Mutant Boar had a few hundred tons of meat on it and even the bones could be used to construct weapons; its scales were also an excellent source of defensive material. Unfortunately, Yue Zhong's storage ring did not possess enough space to keep the entire Mutant Boar inside.

Yue Zhong retracted his gaze from the Mutant Boar's carcass and retrieved the red blood essence, swallowing it. The moment it entered his abdomen, it became a billowing heat and started surging throughout his body, nourishing every single cell in his body.

[Congratulations, you have gained 15 points in Vitality and 10 points in Endurance!]

The Blood Essence of the Mutant Boar was really extraordinary: after consuming it, Yue Zhong had actually gained 25 points of enhancement in total, greatly strengthening his physique.

Yue Zhong erected a tent by the creek and after placing some traps around the tent, he entered it and immediately fell into a deep sleep. He needed to rest properly for the wound on his chest and the broken rib caused by the last desperate hit of the Mutant Boar to both heal.

On the morning of the second day, Yue Zhong awoke; his broken rib had completely restored with the help of his immense vitality and the medicinal pills taken prior. Since he had recovered, he immediately pulled out his Dark Magic Sword and proceeded to use his entire strength to start peeling the scales from around the eyes.

Although the Dark Magic Blade could not cut the scales on the Mutant Boar, with Yue Zhong's recovered energy and strength 5 times that of normal humans, he could actually peel the scales slowly, it just required an astonishing amount of physical energy.

Yue Zhong worked at it tirelessly for the whole day and only managed to peel open an area 8m long and 4m wide worth of scales, whilst at the same time slicing out 3 tonnes of meat.

During the night, Yue Zhong would only rest for a short while and then continue his work. The scales of the Mutant Boar were simply too amazing and he was not willing to give up even a single one of them.

With the scales of this Mutant Boar, the troops directly under Yue Zhong would be able to advance in power and the Snake Skin Armor could be given to the troops in Chi Yang's 2nd Company.

It must be known that the armor made of the Mutant Water Pythons' skin was scarce- as of now, other than the officers of each company, only the Special Combat Battalion and the first 2 rows of Evolvers in the 1st Company under Yue Zhong's 1st Battalion possessed one each.

The rest of the military force was mostly using armor made from the normal Mutant Rats' hide. After the war at the granary, Yue Zhong had managed to retrieve a huge load of Mutant Rats' hides. Although the armor made of the Mutant Rats' hide could not compare to that of the Mutant Water Snakes, with the reinforcements of 3 layers of it, even normal zombies would find it hard to damage the armor. Only the evolved zombies could get past it and they were currently the leading cause of casualties in Yue Zhong's troops.

Yue Zhong's actions were like those of a butcher, busying himself throughout these 3 days, cutting out 20 tons of meat from the Mutant Boar, and any scales exposed were all peeled clean by him. There was a patch that was stuck to the ground, which he could do nothing about except leaving it there.

On the second day of dismembering the Mutant Boar, the meat started to release a stench and Yue Zhong only managed to procure 20 tons of good meat.

[Congratulations, your [Special Bones Skill] has gained 20 points in Endurance!]

On the noon of the 3rd day, White Bones, which had been absorbing the bone essence of the Mutant Boar, retrieved his Bone Spears from within the Mutant Boar and Yue Zhong received the sweet sound of a notification.

After fully absorbing the bone essence of the Mutant Boar, White Bones' entire body seemed to be covered with a layer of black metallic luster and a bony armor enveloped him entirely, giving him the appearance of an ancient general; it became harder to detect that White Bones was just a skeleton.

Chapter 204: Tracking!

Yue Zhong saw that White Bones had finished its evolution and proceeded to pack up his belongings. He made use of White Bones to form a Bone Ladder to climb up the cliff wall, intending to backtrack his way to where he had initially met the Mutant Boar.

The Mutant Boar had been knocking down trees along the way of its rampage, forming a path like a guiding light that led Yue Zhong and White Bones forward.

However, just after entering the forest for about 100 metres, Yue Zhong was faced with two very difficult choices. In front of him, there were 3 routes that were obviously created by the rampages of giant beasts. He had no way of determining which was the actual way back.

If he took the wrong path, he might very well end up in a monster's lair and become a snack for it. Yue Zhong had no confidence that he could lure another beast to the cliff.

After pondering for a while, Yue Zhong decided to turn back and went back down the cliff, following the creek and swimming along it.There were too many people in China; as long there was a water body, save for mountains or forests, people would gather. Yue Zhong could only pray that he would come across other humans as he swam along.

In these unknown mountains, there would be shrill sounds of beasts lamenting from time to time. The sounds of battle between the Mutant Beasts would also ring out regularly. Yue Zhong came across a Level 46 Mutant Flamingo with fiery red feathers and a wingspan of almost 50m fighting crazily with a flock of Level 36 Mutant Green Eagles with wingspans of only 20m.

When Yue Zhong saw those Mutant Beasts fighting, he immediately ran off quietly without daring to stay in the slightest.

Other than those, there would be numerous birds startled into flying from time to time or beasts rampaging about, obviously from the presence of a dangerous giant beast inside the forest.

Yue Zhong would often feel the impending danger and each time he would activate the Encompassing Body Armor, encasing him completely and blocking off his scent, before hurriedly escaping forward.

Near a small brook, 6 men with tattered clothes holding fish nets and harpoons were lying prone on the ground, keeping a fixed gaze on the small brook.

In that small brook, there was an abundant source of fish. As long as they threw the net, they would be able to pull up enough for a meal, and if their luck was good and the haul was immense, they could even feed themselves for 2 weeks.

"Old Secretary! Can I not go? I'm pleading you! That thing will eat me!" One of the younger men, who was injured, held his harpoon and knelt in front of the middle aged man, kowtowing profusely and crying out.

In this small brook, while there was a large abundance of fish, it also concealed the existence of a terrifying man-eating mutant beast. Many who came with the intention of monopolizing this brook had died in the stomach of it.

These 6 people were survivors from the nearby Tooth Village. Roughly a month ago, they had 32 companions, but now the numbers have dwindled down to just the 6 of them.

These villagers wanted to fish at the brook, so they had no choice but to let one be a bait, luring the mutant beast out or to eat its fill. When the beast was in the middle of its meal, the rest would then be successful in fishing on the other side.

The middle-aged man was tanned and looked like a farmer. His face sank and he said, "Blackie! What did we agree on? Whoever drew the short stick would be the bait, wasn't it? When others drew their lot, you ate the fish with gusto. Now that you've drawn the lot, you want to go back on your word?"

The other 4 villagers eyed Blackie, their harpoons ready at a moment's notice. If he resisted, they would kill him first and set his corpse as a bait.

Blackie's face turned pale and he knew that he would be killed if he refused, hence he gritted his teeth and said, "Secretary, I will go. My kid and wife at home, I leave in your hands, please."

The old secretary said heavily, "Rest assured, as long as I have the energy, I will not let them go hungry."

"Secretary!! There's somebody! Somebody is coming from there!" All of a sudden, one of the villagers ran over to the old secretary, pointing towards the front.

The old secretary looked towards the direction which the villager pointed towards, only to see Yue Zhong and White Bones walking along the river towards them. "He really is not afraid of death!" Looking at the calm Yue Zhong sauntering towards them, they all had the same thoughts.

The 6 of these survivors immediately got down onto the ground, quietly observing Yue Zhong. None of them had the intention of warning him of the danger in the brook.

If the Mutant Beast could eat its fill, those lying in wait would not have to sacrifice any of their members.

Yue Zhong had come very close to the brook when suddenly, his sense of danger went off and he retreated as quickly as an arrow towards land. White Bones also mimicked Yue Zhong's actions.

At that moment, the water flow from the brook exploded towards the skies and a huge Mutant Water Snake over 20m long rushed from within, its appearance as though that of a dragon. It opened its mouth wide to attack Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong took one look at the Mutant Water Snake and the Dark Magic Sword appeared in his hands. With the explosion of his speed that was 7 times that of a normal person (TN: SERIOUSLY HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS FACT HAHAHA), he dodged towards the right just as the Mutant Water Snake bit down at the position where he was just an instant ago.

(Note from divinecelestialbeinglol: that TN was just Kun raging, I think I have to send him off on an anger management course…)

In the next moment, Yue Zhong grabbed his Dark Magic Sword and like an arrow, he made his way to the head of the Mutant Water Snake, viciously striking at the area about 7 inches from its head, beheading it and causing an endless amount of blood to flow.

The Mutant Water Snake struggled for quite a while after receiving the blow with snake blood splattering everywhere, before it fell lifelessly on the ground. White Bones stepped up and grabbed the dead body, pulling it out from the water.

Yue Zhong immediately went to work and started cutting up its head, retrieving the blood essence hidden deep in its skull.

"How powerful!!" The 6 villagers saw how easy it was for Yue Zhong to dispose of the Mutant Water Snake and all drew a cold breath. They had experienced the terror of the Mutant Water Snake themselves- even harpoons could not pierce its skin, which was why they had no choice but to make use of the baiting method to fish.

One of the villagers eyed the Dark Magic Sword in Yue Zhong's hands and a hint of unease flashed in his eyes. Yue Zhong turned his attention towards the location of the 6 villagers and called out coldly, "Have you seen enough? Get out of here this instant!"

Upon hearing Yue Zhong's words, all 5 of them looked towards the old secretary for instructions. The old secretary hesitated a while before saying heavily, "Let's go!"

After the events of Z-Day, humans became scarier. However, the old secretary saw that while Yue Zhong exuded a terrifying aura, he would not hold a grudge against others for the sake of food. That was why he dared to bring them over.

Just when they reached in front of Yue Zhong, he immediately shot off questions, "Who are you people? What is this place?"

"This younger brother…" The old secretary looked at Yue Zhong, before continuing and narrated their history and the events.

The old secretary's name was Ma Zhengming and he was the secretary of the Tooth Village. There was also Blackie, whose real name was Liu Er Hei (TN: Hei is Black in chinese, so they called him Hei Zi, or Blackie) and the other four who were called Cai Wen, Liu Qing, Zhang Er and He Guang.

Tooth Village was once one of SY County's many villages and was mainly in charge of fishing, hunting and farming for its survival. After the events of Z-Day, due to the villagers being exposed to constant physical labor, their fighting strength was not weak and so they disposed of many of those zombies. Nearly half the village actually survived. However, in the following month, their rations were wiped clean. They had no choice but to re-embark on their hunting and fishing practices.

Within the mountains themselves, many huge Mutant Beasts had appeared, complicating their hunting and causing many casualties. They could only rely on fishing. However, the Mutant Water Snake was not to be provoked easily and unlike the mountains, the river held an abundant source of fish. That was why they chose to fish.

Yue Zhong continued,"Do you know if there are any major human camps around this area?"

Yue Zhong's current priority was to find a place with radio communications, so he could re-establish communications with his people in Qing Yuan County.

Ma Zhengming shook his head, "No, in front of our village is actually Chen Village, but it is filled with zombies. We can't go over and we do not know if there are other gathering places beyond that."

Ma Zhengming had also seen the film 'Resident Evil' and so he naturally knew what zombies were. Ma Zhengming looked at Yue Zhong and asked carefully, "Brother Yue Zhong, can you let us do our fishing?"

Yue Zhong had been the one to dispose of the Mutant Water Snake. The brook was a treasure trove of fish before the Mutant Water Snake had claimed it as its territory. It had a steady output of fresh fish and aquatic life. Ma Zhengming was mindful of Yue Zhong's strength and subconsciously asked for permission.

Yue Zhong waved his hands: "Just do it!"

Ma Zhengming was delighted and brought his villagers to begin throwing the fishing nets. With just a few nets, the villagers managed to haul in a few pounds of fish.

After the world changed, there was no overfishing done by humans and due to the virus' influence, the aquatic life replenished itself fairly quickly. That was why this river had an abundance of fish.

Ma Zhengming looked towards Yue Zhong and extended an invitation warmly, "Brother Yue Zhong, thanks to you disposing of the Mutant Water Snake, we could have such a haul. Please do consider coming to our village to rest for a while and let us throw a feast for you."

"That's great!" Yue Zhong also needed directions to proceed to the next village- after all, he had been walking for a day and was getting tired, therefore he accepted Ma Zhengming's invitation.

Tooth Village was a small village surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, with over a hundred acres of farmland. There were over 2 dozen brick houses and on top of that, there were some remnants of some red-brick houses from the fifties or sixties.

Just outside of the village, there was a group of women and children going around digging for wild vegetables, whilst the kids focusing on other insects that could be eaten such as grasshoppers, earthworms, cicadas etc.

Chapter 205: Crazy kitchen knife!

After the world had changed, a large number of species had all started to mutate and plants were no exception. The wild vegetables that were edible by humans before the world had changed instantly became very scarce. At the same time, wave after wave of poisonous plants grew unbridledly from the ground. If those poisonous plants were eaten, the human would be poisoned and die. Subsequently, scouring for wild vegetables was also a technical activity- without sufficient knowledge, there was no way of finding wild vegetables that were edible. In the surroundings of this Tooth Village, there were many plants, but those that could actually be eaten were few in number.

When Ma Zhengming and his party returned to the village, the villages all surrounded them and greedily looked at the big fishes in the nets.

Ma Zhengming and his party also all had their heads held up high, as if they were heroes triumphantly returning. In fact, in the eyes of the people of Tooth Village, Ma Zhegnming and the others who had brought over food really all were heroes.

However, even more people's gazes landed on White Bones, who was dragging the corpse of the Mutant Water Snake behind it. This was the first time that they had seen such a terrifying monster. Many children curiously extended their hands to touch the scales of that Mutant Water Snake.

All along the way, Yue Zhong had been looking at Tooth Village, only to see over 40 women of different ages and around 10 children. The only men left were Ma Zhengming and the five others.

Ma Zhengming led Yue Zhong, White Bones, Liu Erhei (Blackie), Cai Wen, Liu Qing, Zhang Er and He Guang into a compound. As soon as Ma Zhengming entered the compound, 6 women walked out; the oldest was 46, whilst the youngest was only 16.

Apart from that 46 year old middle-aged women, the rest of the women all had slightly dark skin, but all of them still looked quite pretty and they were regarded as beauties in this village.

(Note: in China, pale skin is generally considered to be more beautiful.)

Ma Zhengming threw down a bucket of fish and shrimp before that middle-aged woman and said forthrightly, "Juan Zi! Bring those few over to prepare some good food! Also, bring that Divine Spring Tea over, I'm going to have a good drink with these brothers."

That middle-aged woman received that bucket of fish and shrimp, then brought the other five women over to the kitchen.

Plate after plate of boiled prawns, steamed carp, sashimi, stewed fish soup and all sorts of other delicious freshwater fishes were placed onto the table. Apart from that, each of the men also received a cup of green-colored tea.

Liu Erhei raised his cup of tea to smell it and a surge of fragrance wafted out from it, making him startled; his body felt extremely comfortable and he hurriedly asked,

"Old Secretary! You've really hidden it quite deeply, what treasure is this?"

Ma Zhengming gave a chuckle and raised his cup of green-colored tea to take a sip, before saying with his eyes narrowed,

"This is Divine Spring Tea. Drinking it will give your body many benefits. Hehe!"

Yue Zhong raised his cup of Divine Spring Tea to take a sniff and a surge of fragrance rushed into his nostrils. After that surge ended, he also felt quite refreshed. He poked out his tongue and lightly licked that Divine Spring Tea: he didn't perceive any danger and immediately drank it.

As soon as that Divine Spring Tea landed into Yue Zhong's abdomen, a surge of clean air poured out and circulated once around his body. Afterwards, it rushed straight to his forehead, giving him a refreshing sensation.

[You have gained 1 point in Spirit.]

"Good tea!" Having heard the enhancement notification, Yue Zhong couldn't help but let out a few words of praise.

White Bones, Liu Erhei, Cai Wen, Liu Qing, Zhang Er and He Guang all gulped down that Divine Spring Tea one after another as well.

White Bones wore a human disguise in front of other people, so it naturally had to gulp down that Divine Spring Tea. It was just that its body turned into a cup made from bone, which contained the Divine Spring Tea. Meanwhile, the other five people all revealed an extremely intoxicated look.

(TN: I can't quite picture White Bones doing that…)

Seeing that everyone had gulped down that Divine Spring Tea, Ma Zhengming's eyes flashed with a hint of a strange light. He then said very graciously,

"Eat the dishes!"

After he finished speaking, Ma Zhengming took the lead to take a boiled prawn, put it straight into his mouth and started chewing on it. Even though those prawns didn't have any seasoning, they still had a fresh and sweet taste when eaten.

After the 'end of the world', these dishes were rare delicacies and the survivors from Tooth Village had not tried them many times. Apart from Yue Zhong and White Bones, the other men all ravenously contested for those dishes and ate them in big mouthfuls, as if they were hungry ghouls that had just been reincarnated.

Yue Zhong also ate a few prawns but suddenly, he felt his body go numb and immediately, he lost control of it. His expression changed and he looked towards Ma Zhengming, saying,

"Have you poisoned it?"

"What's happened? Why is it that I can't move anymore?"

"Damn! It's really numbing!"

Almost simultaneously, Liu Erhei, Cai Wen, Liu Qing, Zhang Er and He Guang's expressions all had a huge change. The chopsticks held in their hands fell to the floor and they collapsed powerlessly onto the table.

Looking at Yue Zhong and the five others, who had fallen into a paralysed state, Ma Zhengming's eyes flashed with a hint of joy and he explained,

"Poisoned it? I really haven't done that kind of thing. It's just that although this Divine Spring Tea can play the role of nourishing the body, at the same time, it also paralyses people's bodies for 5 minutes."

Yue Zhong's gaze hardened and he said in a heavy voice, "What are you attempting?"

Ma Zhengming had concealed the information about the paralysis effect of the Divine Spring Tea, so he obviously didn't hold any good intentions. Otherwise, he definitely would've told people about it beforehand.

Ma Zhengming smiled grimly at Yue Zhong and said,

"Little brother Yue Zhong, I was very attracted to that treasured blade in your hands. However, I knew that you definitely wouldn't sell it. As long as you made an unwise move though, you would perish. This way, the treasured blade in your hands will be all mine. After gaining that treasured blade, I will then use that big snake's scales to make a whole-body armor and so I won't have to be afraid of the zombies in Chen Village. After killing all of the zombies in there, I will be able to get hold of the resources in Chen Village. As long as this cycle continues, my days will become better and better. For my future, the only way is to sacrifice you!"

Yue Zhong's expression didn't change and he asked aloud,

"Liu Erhei and the others have now seen your true colors. Do you want to kill them as well?"

"A person who will achieve great things doesn't bother with trifling matters.They will also very quickly go accompany you down there, to make you feel less lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs (TN: death/afterlife)." Ma Zhengming revealed a grim smile towards Liu Erhei and the others and said, "Relax, your wives and daughters, I will help you properly take care of them."

"Ma Zhengming you beast!"

"You brute! Even if I become a ghost I still wouldn't let you go!"

"Old Secretary, why don't you let me go!! I'm willing to do anything for you, I beg you to spare my life!"

As soon as Ma Zhengming had revealed his true colors, sounds of cursing and pleading were transmitted from the feast.

"Juan Zi! Come over here and kill them!" Ma Zhengming only gave a cold smile and loudly shouted. In order to paralyse Yue Zhong and the others, he had also drank Divine Spring Tea, so he was also in a state of paralysis: he could only kill off Yue Zhong and those five by using others.

That middle-aged woman with ordinary looks walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife, standing beside Ma Zhengming as if she were a specter.

"Juan Zi, go kill them!" Ma Zhengming ordered loudly towards that middle-aged woman.

However, she merely stood beside him like a rock, not moving at all.

"Juan Zi?" Ma Zhengming said as his eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement.

"Ma Zhengming! We have already been married for 27 years. Ever since that day we married, I have always put up with your bad temper. I have put up with it for a whole 27 years. Even if I only express a tiny bit of dissatisfaction, you beat me. Do you take me as your wife or as your sandbag? I thought that I would always put up with it and properly live out the rest of my life. Yet after the world changed, you found one woman after another right in front of me. Have you considered my feelings before?"

"The women you found were each younger than another; Xiao Hong is so young that she could easily be your daughter. You haven't even let her go. Are you still human?"

Juan Zi's words revealed an incomparable chill, making Ma Zhengming feel as if his bones had frozen. He couldn't help but argue back, saying,

"I had to put my own life at risk to frantically look for food outside, only by doing this was I able to keep you fed. Xiao Hong followed me of her own volition, I have done nothing wrong!"

"Yes! I have always put up with you because you are able to find food from outside to feed us. However, right now the situation has changed. That monster residing in the small brook has already been killed by this person. As long as I kill you, I can go fishing in the small brook with a bunch of women in the same way. Tooth Village already has no need for you foul men."

Juan Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of craziness as she lifted the kitchen knife in her hands up high and crazily chopped down at the back Ma Zhengming's neck, right where it connected with the head.

Juan Zi was a woman of the countryside and often did farm work in Tooth Village, so her strength was greater than many of the men from cities.

Ma Zhengming was badly mutilated by Juan Zi very quickly and he let out a maddened yell, the blade over halfway through his neck. Seeing Ma Zhengming being badly mutilated, the 6 people sitting down all felt a wave of horror emerge in their hearts. Ma Zhengming's other wives all crouched in the corner, looking fearfully at this very bloody scene.

After frenzily killing off Ma Zhengming, Juan Zi took a small breather; she had a grim look on her face and her whole body was covered in blood. As if she were an evil spirit that had come out of a horror film, Juan Zi walked up to Yue Zhong and her eyes flashed with an ominous light. Without saying anything, she chopped down at Yue Zhong's head.

"Subdue her!" Yue Zhong ordered in a low voice.

At that moment, White Bones shot out a bone spear from its palm that instantly penetrated Juan Zi's right arm in which the knife was held, pinning her against the wall.

Seeing White Bones shoot out a bone spear, a hint of disbelief and madness. She desperately roared,

"How is this possible! People who have drunk the Divine Spring Tea will definitely have their bodies paralysed for five minutes. How can you move?"

Under the gaze of the others, Yue Zhong slowly stood up and coldly said,

"How is it impossible! Not only can he move, I can also move."

The Divine Spring Tea really did have a paralysis effect, but Yue Zhong's 87 points of vitality played a very big role: he was only paralysed for 30 seconds before he recovered his ability to move- it was just that he had continued staying at the side letting the show play out, since he might as well watch the carnage between the husband and wife.

Juan Zi looked at the upright Yue Zhong and her eyes flashed with a hint of dimness, as she knew that it would be difficult for her to escape death.

Chapter 206: Mother and Daughter!

Yue Zhong looked at Juan Zi coldly and said, "Where's the Divine Spring Tea? Bring me to it and I will spare your life, but you'd better get lost from Tooth Village."

"Is that for real?" Juan Zi's eyes flashed with anticipation- nobody would want to die if given the choice.

White Bones retracted his Bone Spear and Juan Zi immediately fell from the wall. She looked at White Bones, which was capable of shooting such sharp spears, and her eyes had a hint of fear.

Yue Zhong coldly called out, "Lead on!"

Juan Zi gazed once more at the both of them and started to lead the way with big strides.

"It is this type of tea!" Juan Zi brought Yue Zhong along many turns before arriving at a burial site; right behind, there grew a small tea tree of not more than 30 cm tall with 7 forked branches, each branch growing 10 green tea leaves.

Yue Zhong walked towards the tea tree and an exotic fragrance wafted through the air, that was precisely the same fragrance as that of the Divine Spring Tea he had drunk before.

He pondered for a while before suddenly asking, "Are there many (zombie) corpses buried under here?"

Juan Zi's eyes flashed with surprise, "That's right! There are indeed many corpses buried here, how did you know that?"

Previously, the Lifesaver Grass, which had contributed to the recovery of many subordinates under Yue Zhong, was also discovered near a burial site. In the process of cultivating the Lifesaver Grass, Yue Zhong found out that the meat of Mutant Beasts and also zombie corpses, basically diseased meat, acted as a sort of effective fertilizer for the Lifesaver Grass, encouraging its growth. If it did not have any nourishment from the meat of zombies or mutant beasts, its growth was unbearably slow. It was because of this that Yue Zhong came to the conclusion that the Divine Spring Tea was likely of the same circumstances, growing on top of corpses.

Yue Zhong ordered White Bones, "Dig it out, be careful not to damage the roots."

Upon receiving the order, White Bones bent its frame, 10 fingers pierced into the earth and it began digging frenzily.

With White Bones' efforts, the Divine Spring Tea tree that could strengthen one's body was dug up together with a sizeable amount of soil, before being wrapped in a big piece of cloth.

Juan Zi saw that White Bones had finished its task and asked meekly, "Can I go now?"

She was not willing to stay with Yue Zhong or White Bones for a moment longer than necessary- after all, she had wanted to kill them earlier. Being by their side was extremely stressful.

Yue Zhong glanced at the vicious woman and blandly said, "I promised you before and I won't go back on my word. Go back first!"

Juan Zi saw that Yue Zhong had no intentions of killing her and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Her eyes flashed as she quietly walked behind Yue Zhong.

Upon returning to the village, Liu Erhei and the rest had recovered their mobility. However, they still remained in the room where Ma Zhengming had been hacked to death.

Tooth Village was very small, so Liu Erhei and the rest did not know where else they could turn to. Prior to this, their leader was Ma Zhengming, yet he had been killed. For the time being, they could only stay in the room blankly, with their hearts full of fear and unease over how Yue Zhong was going to deal with them.

Seeing that Yue Zhong's party of three had come back into the house, their heartbeats accelerated, not knowing how Yue Zhong would deal with them.

"Since I promised you that you can live after helping to find the Divine Spring Tea, I naturally would not go back on my words." Yue Zhong looked at Juan Zi and spoke slowly.

Hearing Yue Zhong's words, Juan Zi's originally pale face regained some of its color.

At that moment, a cold glint flashed in Yue Zhong's eyes as he took one swipe with his sword down towards Juan Zi's shoulder, cleanly dismembering her entire right arm.

"However, while I did promise you're leaving alive, I did not say you would be leaving in one piece."

"AH!!!!!" Juan Zi screamed in a miserable voice, crying loudly as the stump of her shoulder bled profusely.

Yue Zhong coldly barked, "Get lost immediately! Otherwise I'll kill you!"

With regards to those who had intended to harm him, Yue Zhong was never lenient. This time, if it was not for the location of the Divine Spring Tea, he would not have left Juan Zi alive.

The outside world was now filled with zombies and mutant beasts everywhere. For someone as ordinary as Juan Zi, unless some fortunate incident were to occur, she would either starve to death or be eaten by the zombies and mutant beasts.

With the words from Yue Zhong, Juan Zi glared at him with venomous hatred, before gritting her teeth and rushing out of the garden towards the outside world.

Seeing this scene, Liu Erhei's party of 5 could not help but tremble, their faces pale as they looked at Yue Zhong and awaited their fate.

Yue Zhong eyed the 5 of them and coldly said, "From now on, Tooth Village belongs to me! All the people are my personal belongings. You are all my property. Are there any objections?"

With Ma Zhengming's death, Yue Zhong harbored the intention to possess Tooth Village. The village had over 50 survivors, and in the current circumstances where the human populace was dwindling, it was considered a decent treasure.

White Bones was also hoisting its White Bone Axe on its shoulders, staring at the 5 of them; if any of them dared to make a move, it would not hesitate to kill them.

Liu Erhei and the rest of them could feel the thick killing intent from White Bones- if they disagreed, the person in black robes would not spare them.

Liu Erhei immediately called out loudly, "I have no problems. From now on, Boss Yue is the Village's Head. If anyone dares to not comply, I will punish that person myself!"

"Boss Yue, I'll listen to you!"

"Boss Yue, whatever you ask of me from now on, I'll do it!"

The rest all chimed in one after another. In the current world, following someone was not just following; instead, it ensured survival if the person was a strong evolver. As long as Yue Zhong did not ask of things that crossed their bottom line, they would be willing to work for him.

Yue Zhong continued to say, "Very good! Who knows the way to Chen Village?"

"I know!"

"……." All of them rushed to answer.

"Liu Erhei, you go back and prepare, tomorrow you shall lead the way. Cai Wen, when I'm gone, you will be the temporary leader. Gather everyone to go fish. I will come back to bring you all away after some time. Disperse!"

After giving a number of orders, Yue Zhong finally dismissed the members.

"Boss Yue, what about us?" After a little hesitation, the pretty wife of Ma Zhengming walked to Yue Zhong's side and asked uneasily.

The rest of the ladies all looked towards Yue Zhong. If he wanted them to sleep with him, they would definitely not resist. Before this, they had followed Ma Zhengming so that they could eat their fill; as for feelings, it was basically zilch. If Yue Zhong wanted them, they would not mind changing to serve another man.

"Go back to your rooms and rest!"

Yue Zhong waved his hands after taking a look at them. Although he was not someone virtuous, he was used to the likes of Ji Qingwu, Guo Yu, Lu Wen and Zhang Jingqiao, the rest of these women basically could not hold a candle to them.

(TN: Zhang Jingqiao is the rebel girl who hasn't appeared for a while. Also, here's the real question: what has happened to the tea that was stored in White Bones, who transformed his body into a cup to hold it?)

The next morning, Yue Zhong brought Liu Erhei and left Tooth Village, towards the direction of Chen Village.

In a certain location at the top of a 3-storey building in Chen Village, having starved for 6 days, Zhuo Yatong was looking at her frail-looking daughter Yun Caiwei, her eyes gleaming with a strange light. Her stomach was growling like crazy, her hunger enveloping her entire body and slowly eroding her sense of reason and energy.

The amount of food in the room had already mostly been consumed 3 weeks ago, and during the span of these 3 weeks, Zhuo Yatong and her daughter Yun Caiwei had eaten very sparingly, taking small mouthfuls of food each day and limiting their movements as much as possible. However, 6 days ago, they had finally wiped their food clean. In these 6 days, Zhuo Yatong was constantly tortured by hunger to the extent that she almost wanted to die: at the same time, under that immense hunger, a crazy thought had blossomed in her mind: "Eat her!!"

"No! She's my daughter. My precious daughter!" (TN: SMEAGOLLLL! Divinecelestialbeinglol: Kun, I'm scared of you now.)

"Eat her!!"

Under the intense moral conflict, Zhuo Yatong seemed to have been driven mad by torture. The look in her eyes as she gazed at her daughter changed, as though she had just seen a roasted turkey.

Under the state where her mind was half collapsed, she subconsciously got closer to her daughter, her hands stretching out to Yun Caiwei's neck.

Yun Caiwei opened her loveable eyes, rubbing them gently, and pulled out a piece of chocolate not even as big as a fingernail from her right pocket. She broke it into half and handed one half to Zhuo Yatong, saying,"Mummy, time to eat!"

(TN: Yea it was almost dinner time and you were the course, little girl, *shudder* really makes one realize how fortunate most of us are now.)

Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Zhuo Yatong regained her senses and saw her own hands on her daughter's neck. A chilling sense of fear rise in her heart. If she had really killed her own daughter, she would break down and become insane.

Zhuo Yatong hugged Yun Caiwei tightly as she bawled, "Caiwei, you eat, you eat!"

Yun Caiwei continued on very sensibly, "Mummy, eat! Only when you eat, will you have energy."

Zhuo Yatong released her hug and smiled sadly, before taking the bigger piece and pushing it into her daughter's mouth as she took the smaller half and ate it.

"Little Wei, you stay here okay, mummy will go look for some food." Zhuo Yatong instructed Yun Cai Wei to stay as she got up shakily, walking towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was already swept clean of all edible items: even salt, soy sauce and items like vinegar were all eaten by the mother and daughter pair.

However, her aim was not these items- rather, it was a vegetable knife. She feared that she would commit something unthinkable under her frenzy, so her heart was dead-set.

She picked up the knife, her eyes empty; as her hands trembled uncontrollably, her heart also beat with fear and unease.

"If only someone could save us right now, I would agree to whatever he wants." Zhuo Yatong laughed bitterly before killing off that hope, closing her eyes as she swung the knife down towards her left hand.

(TN: Is that you, Zeff from One Piece?)

Chapter 207: Zhuo Yatong!

Just as Zhuo Yatong closed her eyes, there came a sound of something being broken into from the outside.

Her hand trembled and the vegetable knife in her hand fell to the ground. She was not willing to die in the first place, so hearing the weird sound from outside led her to have renewed hope.

Zhuo Yatong ran quickly to the window and looked outside. Very quickly, she saw many zombies outside the convenience store lying on the ground; it seemed that the door had been kicked wide open.

Not long after, 3 people exited from the convenience store, with one of them hoisting a huge backpack, 1 holding a pot of the Divine Spring Tea and the last person also carrying a huge luggage bag, obviously filled up with items. Zhuo Ya Tong mustered all the strength she could summon and shouted loudly,"Help!! Save us!!!"

Yue Zhong had just brought White Bones and Liu Erhei out of the convenience store when he heard the plea for help.

Yue Zhong looked towards the direction where Zhuo Yatong had screamed from, and pondered for a while, before turning and walking towards her. He knew that there could be survivors in this village, yet he was not prioritizing their rescue. However, if it was convenient, he would not mind lending a hand.

Liu Erhei continued following Yue Zhong closely. While the trip in Chen Village was considered smooth sailing for Yue Zhong, it was fraught with dangers for someone like Liu Erhei. Without Yue Zhong's protection, he would not be able to walk beyond 100m from this place.

The convenience store was only 10m away from the Zhuo Yatong's residence, and the zombies that littered the way were disposed of easily by Yue Zhong.

Arriving in front of that small bungalow, with just the swing of his blade, the huge door was cleaved in two and he kicked with strength, barging right in.

Yue Zhong strode up to the top with big steps and saw Yun Caiwei curled up into a ball, as if she was a weak cub, looking up at Yue Zhong's party with her huge eyes. She was dying of hunger and did not even possess enough energy to escape.

He walked to her side, taking one look and concluding that this little doll-like lolita had been starving. He pulled out a lollipop (Uhhhh…) and a bottle of water from the backpack, giving them to Yun Caiwei and saying, "Quickly, eat!"

(TN: Seriously what is with this author and his fascination with Lolis)

When a person has not eaten for a long period, he or she cannot suddenly eat huge amounts, or they can choke to death. That was the reason for why Yue Zhong only gave this girl a high calorie lollipop.

Yun Caiwei did not seem to mind that the food was from a stranger. She immediately put it into her mouth and started sucking it. The sweet taste of the lollipop seemed to give her a sense of revival. She felt as if it was the best thing on earth right at this moment.

Yun Caiwei was captivated by the lollipop and after eating it for a few moments, before using her strong willpower to suppress the desire to keep eating the lollipop, she used those huge eyes of hers to plead pitifully, "Big brother! Mummy's inside! Please go save her!!"

"Got it!" Yue Zhong immediately stood up and went into the kitchen.

Zhuo Yatong had used her remaining strength to shout earlier. After that, she crumpled down onto the floor, without any energy left to even climb up. If no one came to save her, she would definitely become like a starved mummy.

Yue Zhong came into the kitchen and saw that Zhuo Yatong had fainted; pulling out a can of cola, he immediately poured it into her mouth.

Having drunk 2 mouthfuls of cola at once, Zhuo Yatong choked a bit before opening her eyes, seeing Yue Zhong feeding her.

Yue Zhong pulled out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth, "This is chocolate! You should still have the energy to chew, right!?"

Zhuo Yatong looked at Yue Zhong and a small tear fell from her eyes as she started chewing the chocolate weakly. Soon after, she swallowed with great difficulty and regained her energy. After resting for a while, she looked at Yue Zhong expectantly before slowly climbing up. She wanted to eat, really wanted to eat.

Yue Zhong looked at Zhuo Yatong and said softly,"I just saved you and the little girl outside. If you want to follow me, you have to listen to my orders. I will protect you and feed you to the best of my capabilities. If you do not agree, I will not force you and we will part ways here."

Right now, Zhuo Yatong had a face completely covered dust and dirt, her hair was disheveled and there was a sour odor on her body. She had not bathed in close to 2 months, therefore her body naturally stank. Yue Zhong was not keen to bring her nor the little burden along with him, so coming here to save them was also about the most he could do as a human being. If they were to decline, he would immediately leave.

"My name is Zhuo Yatong and the girl outside is my daughter, Yun Caiwei. We are willing to follow you and your orders." Zhuo Ya Tong replied a little weakly. She knew that it was a critical decision to make, because if this man in front of her left, the mother-daughter pair would definitely die from hunger here.

"Eat this and properly rest for a while!" Yue Zhong pulled out a dozen lollipops, 3 chocolate bars and a small cake, before placing them into Zhuo Yatong's arms. Then he said lightly, "You have starved for too long, so you can only eat this for now. Once you have recovered a little, I will let you eat your fill."

When Zhuo Yatong saw the amount of high-calorie foods placed in front of her, her eyes flashed and she immediately tore into a bar of chocolate, her hands trembling as she unwrapped it. Without a care for her image or dignity, she stuffed it into her mouth whilst at the same time, her hands were already on the small piece of cake, also trembling as she unwrapped the packaging.

Yue Zhong looked at her as she was wolfing down the food and asked,"Can you drive?"

"Yes!" With her mouth full of food, she used her throat to sound out an affirmation. She grabbed the bottle of mineral water and washed down the food with a few gulps before replying hastily, "In the garage there is a BMW and the fuel inside can last us for at least 60km."

Zhuo Yatong knew she needed to show her value as a team member, otherwise she might be discarded. Hiding in this 3-storey bungalow, she had witnessed many cases in the leather shop nearby where people had been forced out, only to be eaten by the zombies. This was precisely because those people could only eat and were not useful to the boss.

10 days ago, even the boss of the leather shop could not bear the hunger anymore and made an attempt to enter the convenience store. The effort was in vain as he was devoured by the zombies and the scene had shocked Zhuo Yatong, preventing her from stepping out of the bungalow to look for food.

Yue Zhong frowned, as cars like BMWs were not of practical use in the current world. These types of cars would be dented just after a few hits with the zombies; only vehicles like Hummers and the Dongfeng vehicles with a sturdy frame were more reliable. Using them to hit and crush zombies would not be a problem. Looking at the weak Zhuo Yatong, he pulled out a chunk of cooked Mutant Beast meat, saying, "Eat this."

Zhuo Yatong received the meat and took a huge bite. Not long after, a warmth blossomed in her body and she felt that her strength was recovering consistently. She was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked, "What treasure is this?"

Yue Zhong saw that Zhuo Yatong had recovered her energy in such a short time and his eyes could not help but flash with surprise, "You can stand and walk on your own? I don't want to stay here for too long."

Zhuo Yatong used her strength to prop herself up, standing up shakily. While she still felt weak, her body had a hint of energy. She looked at Yue Zhong and said firmly, "I can walk now!"

"Let's go!" Yue Zhong looked at her and immediately went outside in big strides.

With just a thought, Yue Zhong made White Bones pick up Yun Caiwei in one of its arms as though it was carrying a little kitten and it followed out. Zhuo Yatong got into the garage, and started to drive the BMW out. Yue Zhong sat in the front passenger seat, while Yun Caiwei and Liu Erhei sat behind.

White Bones acted as the vanguard in front of the BMW, clearing out the normal zombies that had been attracted to the commotion of the car starting.

As soon as the zombies got within range, White Bones would immediately decapitate them, so that they could not even touch the car. Under the protection of White Bones, Yue Zhong's group quickly made it out of Chen Village.

When they passed a small stream, Yue Zhong got Zhuo Yatong to disembark and lightly said, "You and little Wei should go wash up!"

Zhuo Yatong's face turned red and she immediately got out of the car, walking towards the stream. She knew how she must have smelled after not having bathed for close to 3 months. Yue Zhong also grabbed the little loli Yun Caiwei and walked towards the stream.

"Can you turn around!?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhuo Ya Tong pleaded to Yue Zhong. She was not used to bathing under someone else's supervision.

(TN: Like, who is used to bathing under someone else's supervision?)

Yue Zhong took a look at her and said warmly, "Although there are no zombies in the wild, there are many more fearsome mutant beasts. If you two don't want my protection, I can wait outside for you."

Zhuo Ya Tong was frightened by this and immediately replied, "Don't go!!"

After that, she pondered a little more, before entering the stream fully-clothed with Yun Caiwei.

The water was not deep, only up to their waist, and it was so clear that one could see the bottom; other than the various schools of fishes and prawns, there were no scary mutant beasts to be seen.The moment the mother and daughter pair entered the water, they began scrubbing themselves with fervor.

After the world had changed, due to the fear of being infected, Zhuo Yatong and Yun Caiwei did not dare take a bath. They also only drank from bottled water and water that they had stored before. This was the first time that they had taken a bath for 3 months.

Yun Caiwei had also eaten the meat Yue Zhong gave her, so even though she had not regained her full strength, it could be said that she had a little more energy now.

Yue Zhong sat down boredly, observing the surroundings. In the wilderness of the new world, the mutant beasts were considered the most dangerous existence out here, hence the moment he let his guard down, the mother and daughter could be in danger.

"I'm done! Do you have a set of dry clothes to spare?"

An extremely soft and beautiful voice sounded, making Yue Zhong turn towards the source. His breathing sped up. He saw an extremely beautiful woman with long black hair and snow-white skin, her slender body, long legs and perky butt like features from an exquisite painting; she exuded an alluring mature charm. Her clothes were all wet and transparent, and she was standing right there in front of him.

Chapter 208: Push down Zhuo Yatong!

That stunning beauty full of mature charm was precisely Zhuo Yatong. A soaked white shirt clung tightly onto her full figure, completely outlining her beautiful body. Yue Zhong could even see her black lace bra and sexy little black , full of mystery and maturity.

He was dumbstruck and stared at the woman in front of him; his throat was slightly dry and an evil fire gushed out from his groin, making his 'flag' suddenly rise up. Up until now, he had constantly been busy fighting, searching for resources, approving documents and thinking about how he should go about improving his power in the future. Everyday, he was dead tired from all this business. He had already gone for many days without satisfying his own desires. This time, place and scene had given birth to a strong urge inside him, making him want to take possession of this beautiful woman, whose body was extremely pretty all over and was full of a mature charm.

Zhuo Yatong also felt Yue Zhong's aggressive gaze; she was very familiar with this sort of gaze, since before the 'end of the world', there were many men who had once eyed her with the same aggressive gaze. It was just that due to fearing her family's background, those men didn't make a move; instead, they behaved courteously and gentlemanly to conceal their inner desires.

Yue Zhong suddenly to a big stride forwards and directly hugged Zhuo Yatong.

Zhuo Yatong let out a cry and anxiously exclaimed, "Don't. Don't do it here, little Wei is watching!"

(TN: I believe there's a more important matter at hand here, m'lady…)

She had already begun to make preparations for becoming Yue Zhong's *. However, she didn't want her daughter to see the shameful scene.

Yun Caiwei opened her innocent eyes wide as she watched Yue Zhong hug Zhuo Yatong and her eyes flashed with a strange light.

"White Bones!" Yue Zhong let out a low growl like a wild beast.

White Bones' right hand extended up to Yun Caiwei and grabbed onto her clothes; the bone shrunk back and took Yun Caiwei away.

Yue Zhong flipped over Zhuo Yatong's body straight away and grabbed onto her ample buttocks, entering her * like a naughty puppy might jump into one's embrace.

An incomparably comfortable feeling surged into Yue Zhong's heart as he wantonly violated the stunning beauty below. It also made her constantly let out captivating * cries from her cherry lips.

Only after sex did Yue Zhong carry Zhuo Yatong into the little stream for her to fully cleanse herself.

"Change into these!" Yue Zhong rummaged around in his backpack, taking out a pair of jeans and a white shirt before tossing them to Zhuo Yatong. In his storage ring, there was only this type of clothing and no women's clothes.

Zhuo Yatong hesitated for a moment before changing her clothes right in front of Yue Zhong, displaying her beautiful * in front of his eyes.

That pair of jeans wrapped tightly around Zhuo Yatong's buttocks and her ample * were also almost about to make the buttons on the white shirt burst apart. She hesitated for a moment again before telling Yue Zhong,

"It's a little tight."

After having intimate sex with Zhuo Yatong, Yue Zhong's tone when speaking to her had also softened to some degree.

"I know now! In the future, I will help you to find a set, but for now, just bear with it."

Zhuo Yatong gently nodded and said,

"Mm!"

Looking at the sexy and impressive Zhuo Yatong, Yue Zhong suddenly took her into his arms and his big hands slipped into her clothes, grabbing onto that extremely ample pair of ' jade rabbits' full of elasticity. As he smelt her body's fragrance after bathing, he lightly said,

"Is Yun Caiwei your daughter? Today I see that your age does not exceed 27 or 28, how can you already have a daughter this old?"

Zhuo Yatong was sexy and also had a mature charm. Yue Zhong had already made her become his own : only now did he wish to understand her past. If it was a normal situation, Yue Zhong would have no interest in her story whatsoever.

As she lay in Yue Zhong's embrace, Zhuo Yatong slowly recounted her own past.

This year, she was only 28 years old and was right at the golden age. Her daughter Yun Caiwei was also only 11 this year. When she was 16, Zhuo Yatong had fallen in love with a man, and had thus 'eaten the forbidden fruit'. Not long after, she conceived and subsequently gave birth to that man's child. However, as soon as he saw their child, that man was scared of the burden and responsibility of child-rearing and broke up with Zhuo Yatong.

Zhuo Yatong's family could be regarded as a prominent one. Upon knowing of this matter, the elders of her family were absolutely furious and chased the mother-daughter pair away to a remote little village as some sort of banishment. Zhuo Yatong was very brave and relied on her own efforts, some funding from her parents and also her family's prestige to gradually operate a business that produced a decent career for her. Before the 'end of the world', she was already kind of a rich woman with a net worth of several million.

At the time Z-day had commenced, Zhuo Yatong had just been preparing for a birthday party with her daughter. They had stored a large amount of grain, cakes, pastries and drinks in advance. It was because of this large amount of stored-up food that she and her daughter were able to luckily hold on for 3 months until Yue Zhong had rescued them.

With some overbearingness, Yue Zhong said,

"From now on, you are my *. I will not let you be touched by other men, nor will I let you fall in love with other men. If I discover that you have betrayed me, I will definitely not let you go."

"I know now! Husband!" Zhuo Yatong said coquettishly as she curled up like a lazy cat in Yue Zhong's embrace. This was the first time in many years that she had acted as such to a man and it made her feel quite good.

If those men who had tried to court Zhuo Yatong before the 'end of the world' saw this, it would definitely make their eyes shatter all over the place. It's important to know that back then, her style at the market always appeared as an image of a strong woman in the eyes of others; she was an independent, modern woman.

If it was before the 'end of the world', men like Yue Zhong definitely wouldn't be the sort of partner chosen by Zhuo Yatong. She was able to build up a career without any help from a man and lived very well. However, after the 'end of the world', Zhuo Yatong could only choose to rely on Yue Zhong; she had rich experience and had witnessed the cruelty of post-apocalypse humans. Otherwise, with her beauty, she would be bound to experience a lot of suffering.

Upon hearing this stunning beauty Zhuo Yatong call him 'husband' and act so coquettishly towards him, Yue Zhong felt very comfortable. In his current , only Guo Yu's appearance and temperament could be compared to that of Zhuo Yatong's. However, one was a sweet fruit that was gradually ripening, whilst the other was already mature, the whole body revealing a honey-sweet fruit: both were different types of beauties and couldn't really be compared.

Yue Zhong gently let Zhuo Yatong down and said in a deep voice,

"Right! Let's go!"

Zhuo Yatong straightened her clothes, smiled sweetly and said,

"Mm!"

After she finished speaking, as if she were a little girl who had just fallen in love, Zhuo Yatong's soft little hand as white as snow held onto Yue Zhong's big hand and they walked forward.

As he held onto Zhuo Yatong's little hand, Yue Zhong's heart was slightly swayed. Even though he had once had sex with 3 others, it was his first time holding hands with a woman whilst walking. Before, he had constantly been in battle, in more battles and in even more battles again; all this desperate effort was for the sake of survival and evolving.

Yue Zhong was not really a genius at fighting; he could only grow stronger through his constant, repeated efforts in finding opportunities to become stronger. He raised his own strength little by little, increasing his own power. Wave after wave of unexpected events made him exhausted, to the extent that he couldn't even properly go on a date.

(TN: raws were kinda vague about the sentence above but you get the idea~)

Holding onto Zhuo Yatong's hand, Yue Zhong arrived in front of the car.

"What a pretty *!! Is she really that Zhuo Yatong? Boss Yue really has good luck." Liu Erhei looked at Zhuo Yatong with her stunning looks, sexy figure and dazzling fashion, and his eyes flashed with a little shock. Since he was experienced in these sorts of matters, he naturally knew what had just happened below with Yue Zhong and Zhuo Yatong.

The loli Yun Caiwei trotted up to Yue Zhong and Zhuo Yatong, and using that pair of big blinking eyes, she asked Zhuo Yatong with an innocent expression,

"Mummy, what game did you play just now down there with big brother?"

Right now, Yun Caiwei had also changed into a large set of men's clothes; although this made her appearance rather strange, her innocent sweetness was still hard to conceal.

Upon hearing her own daughter's question, Zhuo Yatong's face was instantly covered in a scarlet glow as she felt endlessly ashamed. She had no way whatsoever of telling her innocent daughter that just now, she had actually been 'battling in the wilderness' with a man.

Yue Zhong went up and took a look at Yun Caiwei before saying in an unquestionable tone,

"We are going now. Little Wei, get into the car!"

"Yes! Big brother!" Yun Caiwei's pixy-like eyes turned and she didn't continue to ask this question that made Zhuo Yatong feel awkward. In a well-behaved manner, she went to the back seat and sat down there.

Gratefully, Zhuo Yatong glanced at Yue Zhong and said,

"Thank you!"

Yue Zhong smiled at her and directly sat down in the front seat. Zhuo Yatong got on as well and started the engine, leaving this place.

Evening. Dinner was barbecued meat, cakes and milk.

Zhuo Yatong and Yun Caiwei had both starved for a long time, so as soon as they saw the delicious food, they couldn't resist and ravenously began to eat.

As he watched Zhuo Yatong eat in such an unrestrained manner, Yue Zhong gently patted her on the back and said,

"Eat a little slower! I still have a lot of food here."

"Mm!"

Zhuo Yatong's pretty face blushed and only then did she slow down her eating speed, regaining her elegant demeanor again. Coupled with her own stunning looks and that she had originally received good etiquette training as a young miss, even the picture of her eating could be regarded as a beautiful scene.

Yun Caiwei's big eyes wandered around a little on Yue Zhong and Zhuo Yatong's bodies, the light in her eyes briefly flashing before disappearing.

Liu Erhei sneakily took a couple of glances at Zhuo Yatong before not daring to look again, afraid that he might be charmed by that mature, sexy and elegant woman if he kept on looking.

(TN: Left out a couple of words in the description above because I think it's just overkill.)

"Husband! I have a headache!" After eating a chunk of barbecued meat, Zhuo Yatong's pretty face was suddenly dyed with a red glow. Both of her eyes seemed lost and her body swayed a few times before collapsing onto the ground.

"What's happened?" As he watched Zhuo Yatong collapse onto the ground, Yue Zhong's heart was shaken and he immediately brought her into his embrace. He saw that her face looked abnormally flushed and a sense of foreboding poured out from his heart. Immediately, he reached out and touched her forehead, and his hand felt an extreme heat.

"Do you have a fever?!" Yue Zhong's heart sank. In this apocalypse world where doctors were hard to find, there was a great probability of dying from an illness.

Chapter 209: Zhuo Yatong evolves!

If it were in Qing Yuan County, Yue Zhong could get over 20 doctors to help diagnose and treat Zhuo Yatong, but here, he could only rely on the Life-Saving Grass and some herbs, stuffing them into her mouth and watching over her.

In Yue Zhong's storage ring, he had amassed quite a number of herbs. After all, the Life-Saving Grass was not entirely a miracle drug: although it could help recover internal injuries and treat external wounds, with regards to illnesses resulting from viruses, it was not much of a help.

Yun Caiwei looked at her mother whose face was currently pale, her entire body perspiring and her breath ragged. She pulled on Yue Zhong's hands and asked worriedly,

"Mommy! Big Brother, what's wrong with her?"

In this world, Yun Caiwei could only rely on her mother and Yue Zhong, so seeing her mother like this was enough to cause her to panic.

Yue Zhong helped Zhuo Yatong wipe away the sweat on her face while consoling Yun Caiwei: "Don't worry, it will all be alright!"

Yue Zhong himself did not know what had happened to Zhuo Yatong, but he knew for a fact that he could not be rash. Being rash would not help anything, so he pulled Yun Caiwei away from Zhuo Yatong's side and placed her into the car.

After the world had changed, many sorts of strange happenings had taken place. If Zhuo Yatong suddenly became a zombie, it would not be considered as unexpected.

Half an hour passed, then followed by a full hour, and with the flow of time, an entire night passed, yet Zhuo Yatong's fever did not subside one bit, although she had not turned into a zombie.

On the 2nd day, Yue Zhong cooked porridge again to feed Zhuo Yatong and helped her wipe away her perspiration, busily taking care of her for an entire day. There was no intention to progress from their current spot.

On the morning of the 3rd day, Zhuo Yatong furrowed her eyebrows, opening those beautiful eyes of hers and seeing Yue Zhong lying beside her, obviously having taken care of her for an entire day.

Emotions rushed up in Zhuo Yatong's heart and at this moment, she fell in love with this youth younger than her by 8 – 9 years. Women were usually emotional creatures; whilst Yue Zhong had come to their aid at the start, she was thankful but not moved. Even their tryst by the riverside happened as a way of thanking Yue Zhong for saving them and it was not out of love, hence at that time, she didn't actually develop any feelings for him.

Yet when she found that Yue Zhong had taken care of her unconditionally when she was unwell, she realized that she had truly fallen for this man.This was because regardless of what his motives were, he had personally taken care of her very carefully, and this type of trait was hard to find in the current world.

Zhuo Yatong couldn't help but reach out her hand to stroke Yue Zhong's face.

As he possessed a strong sense of wariness, Yue Zhong had awakened the moment Zhuo Yatong had moved. He grabbed her delicate hands in his, saying,

"You're up! Let me go cook some porridge for you."

Not a single mushy sentence like "I love you" or "Without you I'll die" came from his mouth. Yet this simple sentence had moved Zhuo Yatong, her emotions stirred.

Yue Zhong also did not know that he had unintentionally won the heart of this beauty. He had chosen to take care of her simply because he had treated her as his woman, and he had the responsibility to. He knew that even though he had won her body, he did not assume that he could win her heart.

Zhuo Yatong looked at Yue Zhong and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She said,

"I'm fine now, let me prepare the food! Looking after her man is a woman's basic duty."

After which, Zhuo Yatong sat up.

The moment she sat up, she was full of mature charm and her entire body seemed as though it was free of unnecessary weight. That pair of voluptuous mounds that were full yet soft at the same time seemed to push her unbuttoned blouse out even further, exhibiting her tender, snow-white skin to Yue Zhong. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

[TN: Yes, such a vivid imagination ;)]

Yue Zhong only took in the scene for a few breaths but it made everything else seem just as beautiful too. It was just for a few moments, yet he felt the surge of desire; should he continue looking, he was afraid he would leap on top of her again. He was deeply attracted to her mature body and demeanor.

Zhuo Yatong saw Yue Zhong's gaze sweep over her body and her mouth curled upwards- she was clearly delighted. With regards to her attractiveness, she was very confident.

Yue Zhong looked toward the corner of the tent and said lightly,

"Are there any changes in your body?"

Zhuo Yatong became silent for a while before she suddenly responded in alarm,

"Husband, I think I've become an Evolver."

"An Evolver?" Yue Zhong heard this and his mind immediately went blank. He had a lot of Enhancers in his team, but as for true Evolvers like Yao Yao, she was the only one whom he knew. It was really the first time that Yue Zhong had come across the process of an Evolution.

Yue Zhong continued his questions, saying,

"What are your current abilities and skills? In other words, did you gain anything during the evolution?"

Yao Yao was considered an agility-based Evolver. Yue Zhong had tried asking her before, right after her evolution and obtaining a huge boost in agility: every time she gained an increase in abilities from the system, other than 2 points of free allocation, she would gain a fixed increase in agility. It could be said that when comparing Evolvers with the normal Enhancers, the Evolvers actually reaped more benefits.

Zhuo Yatong's face did a weird change and she hesitated a little before saying,

"My Strength had received the strongest boost. Currently, my stats are Level 1, Strength 25, Agility 13, Vitality 12, Spirit 11, Stamina 12, and Endurance 13."

"Evolvers really do have an advantage!" Yue Zhong was partly depressed yet also happy for Zhuo Yatong at the same time.

Zhuo Yatong's basic attributes were already above average, hence even if she was only Level 1, after her evolution, she had attributes that had already surpassed normal Level 10 Enhancers. The 25 points of strength had bestowed upon her an immense strength. If she gave it her all, she could probably snap the neck of a normal zombie with just one punch.

Yue Zhong waved his hands and retrieved 3 Skill Books, throwing them to Zhuo Ya Tong and saying,

"These 3 books are for you. As long as you want to learn them, you can easily do it."

Those 3 Skill Books were the [Level 2 Skill: Super Strength Enhancement, [Level 2 Skill: High Speed Movement] and the [Level 3 Skill: Enormous Power Solidification]. The Level 3 Skill book was obtained when Yue Zhong had killed the Mutant Water Snake. He had already learnt it before, hence there was no need to relearn. After receiving the 3 books, with just a thought, they turned into streams of light and entered her sea of knowledge, uniting to form strange runes within.

Yue Zhong retrieved a set of white gloves, Level 1 Enhanced Boots, a Replica Tang Sword, a Level 2 Armor and the Water Snake Skin Cape that he had swapped out earlier,passing it all to Zhuo Yatong.

That Water Snake Skin Cape was 1 of 4 sets that Yue Zhong had kept prepared in his ring. After all, being in constant battles could cause either the Rat King's Skin or Water Snake Skin to rupture, therefore when he had fully equipped Zhuo Ya Tong, her strength reached 41 points, stronger than most normal people by 4 times. If she used the Strength Enhancement Skill, she could unleash a strength 7 times that of a normal person. However, even though she possessed such strength, she did not have the relevant experience in battle. Any Level 10 Enhancer under Yue Zhong's training could easily dispose of Zhuo Yatong who had not gone through any training.

However, the fact remained that her strength vastly outstripped that of other normal Enhancers. It was precisely because of this that Yue Zhong chose to invest in her, giving her 3 skill books in one go.

"Is this my strength?"

Zhuo Yatong casually lifted up Yue Zhong's backpack that weighed a few dozen kilos and she couldn't believe that she, who looked so frail, could actually possess such strength.

Yue Zhong took a look at Zhuo Yatong and said in a deep voice,

"Yatong, you are now an Evolver and your abilities have vastly surpassed normal zombies. Now you possess the strength, but still lack the actual experience to battle a zombie. After this, you will need to handle 3 normal zombies by yourself. Until you have finished disposing of 3 zombies, I will not lend a hand. Do you understand?"

Zhuo Yatong was not a stupid person, so as soon as she saw the firm expression on Yue Zhong's face, she gritted her teeth and replied heavily,

"Understood!"

As they continued on their journey at top speed, Yue Zhong's party came across a highway which was packed with many private vehicles.

On that densely packed highway, there were many zombies roaming around as well. Upon hearing the noise of the BMW, a number of the zombies started shambling over.

Yue Zhong saw the zombies making their way over and ordered White Bones,

"Leave one alive, kill the rest!"

The moment White Bones received the order, it moved as quick as lightning, rushing into the midst of the zombies in a short span of a few breaths. Immediately, White Bones waved its axe like a tornado, killing all but one before returning to Yue Zhong's side.

Yue Zhong took a glance at the remaining zombie before giving Zhuo Ya Tong the order,

"Go! Finish it! Your strength is much stronger than it! All of your attributes are superior to these zombies, so as long as you can muster the courage, you can kill them."

Zhuo Yatong grabbed her Tang Sword and walked a few steps forward. However, the moment she saw the rotting face with 2 huge holes as well as the blackened teeth, the murky white eyes and the shrivelled body, she could not help but feel fear rising in her heart. Her body trembled and she looked back at Yue Zhong.

Most people would not be able to overcome their fear of the grotesque appearance as well as the fear of infection if they didn't try killing the zombies. They also would not be able to engage in a battle with them, not to mention a brawl. To brawl with a zombie required courage; at that time in Qing Yuan County, Yue Zhong had to threaten the survivors with guns, in order to force them beyond their threshold before they actually rushed ahead to fight the zombies.

Facing the pleading look on Zhuo Yatong's face, Yue Zhong was unmoved and only sternly glanced at her before saying,

"If you don't want to become its food, you have to use your sword to chop off its head."

Chapter 210: Sea of zombies- Dead End!

"Why are you still hesitating!?"

After being scolded by Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong gritted her teeth, turned her head around and gripped her Tang Sword tightly, approaching the zombie carefully.

With just a thought from Yue Zhong, White Bones used its fiery demonic eyes to keep a close watch on Zhuo Yatong; as soon as there was something wrong, it would immediately shoot out a Bone Spear to save her life. Although he said he would not care about her life or death, in truth, Yue Zhong was not willing to let a woman whom he had a relationship with die here.

Zhuo Yatong could already be considered an independent woman before the world had changed; under the pressure of Yue Zhong, she was now forced to show her potential. She edged carefully towards the zombie and to her surprise, she found that the zombie's speed was extremely slow. She routed around the zombie at a quick pace before stopping behind the zombie and bringing down her Tang Sword swiftly, beheading it.

"This zombie is only so-so!"

After beheading her first zombie, Zhuo Yatong felt a surge of pride and her fear towards the zombie lessened. She smiled at Yue Zhong as she walked back haughtily to his side.

Yue Zhong looked towards White Bones and ordered,

"Go and lure 3 of them here!"

White Bones shot forwards like an arrow and once again attracted the attention of 6 zombies: after luring them away from the other zombies, it casually disposed of 3 of them.

Yue Zhong pointed towards the 3 zombies and gave an order to Zhuo Yatong,

"Go finish them! Remember, the Snake Skin Pelt on you can block even bullets, so as long as you don't let them reach your head, you will be safe."

Listening to Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong's original pale face regained a bit of color. She was still confident of dealing with 1 zombie, but 3 in one go seemed to be beyond her capabilities and she had not succeeded at something like that before.

Gritting her teeth and taking a huge breath, Zhuo Yatong rushed towards the zombies with huge steps. However, she maintained her guard and the moment she arrived in front of them, she started circling them constantly, looking for an opportunity to strike.

The 3 zombies could only helplessly move around shakily on the spot as they tried to get closer to Zhuo Yatong. However, their movement speed was slow and they were clustered together, giving Zhuo Yatong the feeling that she was like a mouse leading some tortoises around.

After circling the zombies 3 times, she could not take it any more and rushed towards one of them.

At this moment, one of the other zombies had just turned around, exposing the horrors of its face that had been bitten off as it reached out for Zhuo Yatong. She took a look at the zombie's face and clamped up in fright, which allowed the zombie to claw at her body.

"I'm dying!! I'm dying!!"

At that moment, Zhuo Yatong's mind only had this thought and she frantically used her Tang Sword to hack mindlessly at the zombie.

With strength that was 4 times that of normal humans wielding the sharp Tang Sword, the 2 zombies were hacked into several pieces by the desperate Zhuo Yatong.

The last zombie had just neared Zhuo Yatong before it immediately entered the range of her frenzied attacks and was chopped into pieces.

After killing the 3 zombies, Zhuo Yatong took ragged breaths and her face was pale. With her current enhanced self, beheading 3 zombies wouldn't actually consume much stamina, but under the stressful situation, she had expended quite a bit of it.

Liu Erhei was watching Zhuo Yatong cut through the 3 zombies with ease and his eyes opened wide with shock. He did not expect that the woman who was saved by Yue Zhong, who looked so frail and delicate at the time, could deal with zombies on her own, which was something that not even most men could accomplish.

Liu Erhei's eyes glowed as he looked at Zhuo Yatong.

"It's too amazing, what exactly did Boss Yue do? He actually managed to raise this woman's abilities to this extent in these few days? If only I could be this strong as well."

"Wait a moment! He said before that the Snake Skin Pelt that I'm wearing can withstand scratches from the zombies."

After a few breaths, Zhuo Yatong remembered what Yue Zhong told her and looked at the spot where the zombie had attacked her. She saw that other than a hole in the village clothes, the Snake Skin Pelt was without a scratch.

"I shall guide you on killing the zombies more efficiently! Watch closely!"

Yue Zhong walked up to her and spoke lightly, before taking big strides towards the horde of zombies.

He arrived in front of the abandoned cars and lashed out viciously with his leg, causing a loud sound. A number of zombies started moving towards the source of the sound.

Yue Zhong entered the zombie horde, his blade flashing as though he was training, and one by one, the zombies that approached him only saw death. When he was surrounded by dozens of zombies, as they attacked him simultaneously, he would retreat back a step, dodging a huge number of attacks. He allowed a few to reach his body, before a single of flash of his blade struck out, beheading all of the zombies as if he were harvesting wheat. In just a few moments, the zombies were all killed by Yue Zhong and not a single one remained.

Zhuo Yatong saw how easy it was for Yue Zhong to dispose of all those zombies without batting an eyelid and she recognized the vast difference between her combat abilities and his. At the same time though, she felt overjoyed. Seeing as such a powerful man was her husband, she would naturally feel proud.

After slaughtering those zombies, Yue Zhong returned to Zhuo Yatong's side and started telling her about the various tactics and strategies to employ when dealing with different situations regarding zombies.

After the talk, Yue Zhong once again threw Zhuo Yatong into the midst of a zombie horde. She had the Snake Skin Pelt, so as long as she did not come across an evolved zombie or any other major issues, she would not be in danger. Furthermore, White Bones was constantly on guard beside her to provide protection should the need arise.

As she continued her training, she improved quickly and her speed of killing zombies became faster. Originally her abilities exceeded those of normal Enhancers by 10 times and she was also well equipped; the moment she overcame her fear of zombies, killing them became an easy feat. After an entire morning, the zombies in the whole area were cleared by her and there was even an L1 amongst those which she killed.

After killing such a large number of zombies, Zhuo Yatong rose to Level 8 and obtained a huge amount of enhancement points. Her strength was not lacking but her stamina was one of the weaker points, therefore Yue Zhong guided her to allocate 14 points entirely to her stamina. At the same time, in accordance with Yue Zhong's conjecture, Zhuo Yatong, being a true Evolver, gained a fixed point in strength every time she leveled up. It was clear that she was a strength-based Evolver.

After the zombies in this area had been cleared, Yue Zhong brought Zhuo Yatong and travelled along the highway, making their way towards Qing Yuan County.

After travelling for about 2km, Yue Zhong came to a stop as a huge sea of zombies suddenly appeared in sight. Their numbers stretched for miles on either side and they cut off the intended road to Qing Yuan County, making it so that he couldn't even see the horizon.

Sitting inside the BMW, Zhuo Yatong and Liu Erhei looked towards the sea of zombies in the distance and their faces turned pale. It was their first time coming across a horde of such magnitude- against such a number, an individual's strength seemed so negligible.

Yue Zhong looked at the zombies and was lost in thought for a while, before swiftly climbing up a tree by the side of the road.

He stood atop the tree over 10m tall and took in the sight. He could see that the zombies had literally filled every place for up to a distance of at least a few kilometers away. Beyond that, the zombies had formed a sort of dam, blocking the road back to Qing Yuan County. Unless he made his way alone through the mountains that were devoid of any human activity, he would not be able to break through this sea of zombies. Even if he activated his Encompassing Body Armor, used the Bone Spears and also used various other skills, it would not be easy.

The sea of zombies was not remaining still; the zombies simply followed along the highway and progressed aimlessly.

"Turn back!!"

Yue Zhong observed the sea of zombies for a while before leaping down and getting into the car, giving instructions to Zhuo Yatong.

The huge sea of zombies was not on a level for Yue Zhong to contend with and so he switched his priority to finding a radio communications tower. He would make use of it to contact his forces.

Zhuo Yatong stepped on the pedal and brought the car to turn around, going back the way they came from.

Yue Zhong's team did not make it very far before they came across a fleet of 5 buses, 4 Dong Feng trucks, 2 Humvees, 3 Jeeps and 4 cars that cut off the road.

Yue Zhong saw the appearance of the fleet and his eyebrows furrowed; with a wave of his hand, Zhuo Yatong stopped the BMW.

With just a flick, a .05 Light Assault Rifle with a silencer appeared in his hands.

This gun was lightweight and had a simple structure. With its small size, it possessed good accuracy and strong firepower at close range, and with its ammo capacity at 50 rounds per clip, it was currently one of China's most advanced weapons. Even though its firepower could not penetrate the defence of an L2, when dealing with humans, it could not be beaten.

"Hold this!" Yue Zhong gave a .54 handgun to Zhuo Yatong.

When dealing with zombies, it was possible to still engage in melee combat, but when dealing with other humans, using guns was a sort of assurance. Yue Zhong was not sure what kind of people were in front of him and he wanted to be safe than sorry.

Zhuo Yatong looked at Yue Zhong and her eyes flashed with shock: she didn't know how Yue Zhong managed to retrieve the .05 light submachine gun and .54 handgun.

"Just how many secrets is he hiding on his body?"

Zhuo Yatong thought silently in her mind as she accepted the .54 handgun and played with it for a moment, before glancing at Yue Zhong.

The fleet saw Yue Zhong's team in the BMW and one of the Jeeps came to a stop. Four men stepped out.

Amongst them, 3 of them held .81 rifles whilst the leader was very burly and only held a .79 assault rifle, with a Tang Sword hanging at his waist. His clothes were very tidy and his bearings gave the impression of a cheetah ready to pounce.

Yue Zhong opened the car door and strode out.

Chapter 211: Survivor Fleet!

The 4 men saw that Yue Zhong was approaching them with the Dark Magic Sword by his waist and a .05 Light Submachine Gun in his hands.Their eyes narrowed as they raised their caution towards him. Someone who was well-equipped and prepared in the current world was not simple, and they didn't want to offend such a person needlessly.

The well-built man carrying the .79 assault rifle, with the gait like that of a cheetah, smiled at Yue Zhong and said,

"How are you, I'm Niu Jiang! I'm not sure how I should address you, the little brother here?"

"I'm Yue Zhong."

Yue Zhong took a look at Niu Jiang before asking,

"Niu Jiang, where are you guys headed for?"

Niu Jiang did not hesitate before responding,

"We want to head to the SY County gathering. The government has established stability there and has called out to survivors to gather there."

Niu Jiang looked at Yue Zhong and said warmly,

"Brother Yue Zhong, why don't you come along with us! Moving together brings more benefits."

Yue Zhong was well equipped and the items on him were not simple; if he joined this fleet, then their defence would also rise. Yue Zhong pondered for a while before nodding,

"Yes!"

That sort of government establishment would definitely have radio communications; since Yue Zhong's destination was the same as Niu Jiang's team, he naturally would not decline going together.

Yue Zhong joined Niu Jiang's team and the entire fleet continued on their journey.

When the sun set, the fleet chose a small, barren plain to set up camp.

In the fleet, there was a total of 200 survivors. The moment they disembarked, they would pull out pots and pans, and the children and women would forage for twigs and branches to start a fire for cooking.

Amongst these 200 survivors, a huge number of them had tattered clothes and emaciated appearances. However, there were a few who seemed much better off.

There was a handful who were led around by a fatty with a plump face and huge belly. He was surrounded by 5 men and 8 women of mixed ages, all of whom didn't seem weak. Yet another group comprised of a male cop dressed in his uniform leading his colleagues around and each of them had a .79 assault rifle. Another handful had Niu Jiang as their leader with 9 people in total, each of them equipped with either a .81 rifle or .79 assault rifle. There was one final group where the leader was a bespectacled male roughly 30 years old, and he was gathered with 34 other people.

The majority of the survivors gathered around the bespectacled male were mostly middle school students of 13-14 years.

This crowd of people was the largest with the most people. The other survivor groups would be as large as a family at most- no one else congregated on such a level.

Yue Zhong's team stepped out from the BMW.

Zhuo Yatong brought Yun Caiwei to wash the rice to cook. Liu Erhei was in charge of gathering the rotten leaves and debris for starting a fire. Yue Zhong pulled out 2 tents from the boot of the BMW and he set it up.

The 2 tents had just been pitched when they attracted almost everyone's attention from the other camp. After the end of the world, luxurious goods were frowned upon and the most sought after items became food. When the 200 survivors were on the run, their focus was only on getting as much food packed as they could: luxury items like tents were considered unnecessary, and so none of them had one.

"Camping tents! Do they think they're on a tour?"

One of the students looked on with envy as she scowled in a low voice.

Currently, the year was already entering the autumn season, hence the air could get very cold in the night. Without camping tents, they could only squeeze together in the bus, where it was extremely cramped and uncomfortable.

Another student snorted coldly. With a hinge of jealousy in his eyes as he looked at Yue Zhong's side, the student said,

"Let's ignore them. They will regret it once they run through their rations."

Amongst the grumbling of the envious and jealous people, one of the men under the fatty walked to Yue Zhong's side. His body was on the skinny side and he said with a hint of haughtiness,

"I'm called He Ye. How should I address this little brother?"

Yue Zhong glanced at He Ye, lightly saying,

"I'm Yue Zhong. Do you have any business with me?"

"I'm a driver for Secretary Huang from Jiao Yuan County. That person over there is Secretary Huang."

He Ye pointed towards the fatty surrounded by a few men before saying,

"Since it's autumn now, the winds are cold. I hope you can give this tent to him. Once we arrive at SY County's gathering point, Secretary Huang will definitely take care of you guys. With his status, even getting you some civil servant positions would not be an issue."

After he finished talking, he looked on confidently at Yue Zhong. Although the world had changed a lot, the government had established a safe haven for the survivors at SY County. Secretary Huang could be considered someone of power even before the end of the world and his words had some worth. As long as they could reach SY County and establish themselves, securing a few civil posts would be an easy feat.

A position that allowed you to eat your fill in the current world was really an achievement. It was enough for people to fight bitterly to obtain it. He Ye did not believe that Yue Zhong would decline the offer.

Yue Zhong looked at He Ye with disgust before saying coldly,

"Not interested. Please go back!"

He Ye heard the words and instantly turned pale. He had noticed the .05 light submachine gun in Yue Zhong's hands, so he could only hold back the harsh words at the tip of his tongue. He immediately turned on the spot and walked back towards his boss.

Secretary Huang glanced at He Ye and asked quietly,

"How was it, He Ye?"

He Ye replied in a grieved manner,

"Boss, he is not willing to give it to you."

Secretary Huang's face changed and he replied,

"Alright, I understand. Go take a rest and prepare to have dinner."

Even though he did not express it explicitly, Secretary Huang started to bear a hatred for Yue Zhong. However, he would always seek counsel before taking action; if he didn't possess enough strength to handle the matter, he might end up creating a problem for himself, thus he wouldn't be so stupid. Amongst the survivors, although there were the 5 police officers, these 5 policemen came from another place and were not willing to listen to him, nor take heed of his status as Jiao Yuan County's VIP.

Not long after, Zhuo Yatong and Yun Caiwei brought over the hot rice that they had cooked. On the other side, Yue Zhong set up a barbeque pit and began roasting the Type 2 Mutant Boar's meat.

Drops of the pig oil dripped onto the fire, feeding the flames. The smell of barbequed meat began wafting through the air.

"What is that smell!!""

"It's barbequed meat!! Who is barbecuing meat?!"

The moment the starved survivors caught a whiff of the barbeque, they immediately turned their heads around and looked towards the direction the smell came from. Upon seeing the countless envious gazes, Yue Zhong continued to constantly season the meat without a care, causing the smell to become even more fragrant.

One of the middle school students stared at the meat and said with his mouth practically drooling,

"Roasted meat, if I could get just one bite, I would die willingly!"

"That's right!!"

Another student took a look at the mixed gruel and bread in his bowl. The amount was so pitiful that the grains of rice could be counted. The student's gaze returned to the meat and he unconsciously swallowed gulp after gulp of saliva.

After the events of Z-Day, all the survivors faced a shortage of food. Niu Jiang and his party of 200 people had congregated over the course of the past 3 months after Z-Day. They were constantly on the move and searching for food, and had lost quite a number of people. Their equipment was running low and many were starving. Only those who were constantly on the frontlines fighting and the government officials could eat their fill at the expense of others.

Niu Jiang walked to Yue Zhong's side. Looking at Zhuo Yatong sitting beside him, he was stunned and a strange light flashed past his eyes. Then he said,

"How fragrant! Yue Zhong, is this your wife? She's really beautiful! You're quite lucky!"

Niu Jiang had seen many beautiful women on his countless travels before Z-Day, yet he had seldom seen someone with the demeanor and aura of Zhuo Yatong, and also her beautiful looks and body.

Hearing Niu Jiang's sincere praise and calling her Yue Zhong's wife, Zhuo Yatong couldn't help but smile. Her heart leapt in joy and she also began to see Niu Jiang in a better light.

Niu Jiang only looked at Zhuo Yatong once before his gaze fell unto the meat Yue Zhong was roasting and his eyes couldn't move away. Peerless beauties were great of course, but he possessed enough strength to attract many women. The meat that Yue Zhong was currently roasting was the true attraction to him right now.

Yue Zhong looked at Niu Jiang before smiling and inviting him over, saying,

"Please sit! Let's eat together!"

"Oh, how could I!"

Niu Jiang was courteous, yet he did not hesitate to sit down with his eyes fixed on the piece of meat and his saliva already dripping.

After the events of Z-Day, the vast majority of biological creatures had undergone mutations, so almost every beast in the wild was much stronger than before. Subsequently, obtaining fresh meat was extremely difficult and Niu Jiang also hadn't eaten much.

After being called Yue Zhong's wife, Zhuo Yatong carried out her 'duties' as a mother and wife, helping scoop rice for Yue Zhong and also cutting a thin slice of meat, which she placed on a dish for Niu Jiang.

"Thanks!"

Niu Jiang received the plate and immediately devoured the meat. The meat was succulent and incredibly delicious, causing him to be endlessly mesmerized.

When he hastily chomped down that piece of meat, a smile broke out on his face; he had also received some enhancements. He looked at the huge piece of meat on Yue Zhong's plate and his gaze become even more intense.

Yue Zhong ignored the gaze of Niu Jiang and laughed as he asked,

"Niu Jiang, I am not that familiar with your members of the fleet, why don't you introduce them to me?"

As the saying goes, the mouth talks when fed.

Niu Jiang had eaten Yue Zhong's meat, and he started carefully introducing the various people to Yue Zhong with attention.

"That person over there is …"

At first, the fleet only had the 5 policemen and the bunch of students who were on an outing at the time. The leader of the 5 policemen was called Wang Jian. He had brought along his colleagues and the bunch of students, using only his handgun to deal with the zombies as they searched for and rescued other survivors.

Chapter 212: The Charm of Roasted Meat!

With Wang Jian's constant efforts to search for resources with his colleagues and rescuing survivors along the way, a small fleet was gradually formed. They roamed where they could, hiding from the zombies and searching for usables. Secretary Huang's actual name was Huang Weian and he was the county head of Jiao Yuan County; he and his group of people were all rescued by Wang Jian.

As for the group made up of students, at the beginning of Z-Day, only 12 of them had turned into zombies. Although most of them had actually thrown away their Novice Staff, the teacher and 13 other students had held onto their weapon. After that, when an Enhancer joined the fleet, he told them about the benefits of enhancements.

With Wang Jian as the leader, all 4 of the other policemen and himself became Enhancers by only using the Novice Staffs. The students also became Enhancers one by one with the help and guidance of Wang Jian and Liu Jin. It was just that leveling with the assistance of others only provided a little experience, therefore their aptitude was not high and the strongest person was currently only Level 9.

Niu Jiang was a retired soldier before the end of the world and afterwards, he relied on his own abilities to gain access into a police station and obtained firearms. After recruiting quite a number of people, they roamed about for a while. It was only after the zombies had started evolving and a huge number of his subordinates had perished that he fled with his remaining people. After they had escaped, they joined Wang Jian's fleet.

Wang Jian's fleet operated by equal distribution of the resources – everyone ate the same amount. Only those who went out to hunt for resources and those officials like Huang Weian would get to eat more. Wang Jian was righteous yet not overly concerned with rules, and in fact, he was quite easygoing. Since they were headed to a government establishment, he knew it would not be wise to offend someone of status like Huang Weian.

It's important to know that prior to Z-day, if someone of Huang Weian's status wanted to 'play' with someone insignificant like Wang Jian, who was just a normal civil worker, they would not need to use much force. Of course, it didn't mean Huang Weian literally using his fat body, but with just a few words, it would be easy to remove Wang Jian from his post and rank; even sending him to be a security guard was not a difficult feat.

After Z-Day, no one knew what the establishment that the government had set up looked like, and so even less people dared to offend Huang Weian. They allowed him to retain his official post and an attack team all to himself.

Just as Yue Zhong and Niu Jiang were discussing about the various highlights of each team, a tall lady who was about 1.62m walked in front of Yue Zhong. She seemingly hesitated for a few moments before pointing to the meat and saying,

"Let me eat my fill! I will let you do me as you like!!"

Yue Zhong frowned as he lifted his gaze. He saw that the woman was really tall, and although her figure was not as perfect and alluring as Zhuo Yatong's, she did possess a C-cup bust, long slender legs,very white skin, an oval-shaped face and other defining features. It was just that her eyes seemed a little wan and sallow, and her face also didn't look too good. Even though she could not compare to Zhuo Yatong, she could be considered a beauty in her own right as well.

She stared at Yue Zhong and gritted her teeth before saying,

"I am Gu Manzi! I graduated from XXX University of the Arts and I am 25 years old this year. I don't have a boyfriend and am still a virgin! As long as you let me have my fill of that meat, I will let you play with me however you like!! If you can feed me from today on, I will always follow you and be your woman."

[TN: Not literally sex if you interpret it like that, but the raws said XXX]

Gu Manzi had not eaten her fill for at least 2 months! She was tormented by her hunger to the extent that she was close to her tippingpoint. As Yue Zhong roasted the Type 2 Mutant Boar meat, the oil glistened all over. If it were before the end of the world, Gu Manzi would have felt revolt at the meat since she was all this time, the meat that was on the grill right now was extremely enticing to her, even more so than having 100,000 USD prior to Z-Day.

Gu Manzi did not even ask for Yue Zhong's name. All she knew was that he was carrying a .05 Light Assault Rifle, he had a Dark Magic Sword at his waist and he also had 2 pretty ladies by his side, one of them mature and the other still young. There was even an able-bodied man following him. She knew that he could be relied on, so if she wanted to sell herself, she would only sell herself to someone like him.

Truthfully, not many women could tolerate the hunger and in the end, they chose to sell themselves. The few ladies by Huang Weian's side also sold themselves and willingly became his mistresses just to be fed well. Among the fleet, there were even some females who secretly used their bodies in exchange for more food, thus it wasn't particularly shocking.

If it wasn't for the righteous and moral Wang Jian containing the reasoning of the people, there might have been cases of cannibalism already.

Upon hearing Gu Manzi's words, Zhuo Yatong could not help but feel nervous and she clasped her hands tightly as she looked towards Yue Zhong. Although she was sure that her own looks, demeanor and even strength were all way above Gu Manzi's, from her experience, she knew men were creatures who always preferred new to old. Furthermore, Gu Manzi had something she did not have- virginity. To most men, being able to be the man who took the cherry was a huge attraction.

It was just that Zhuo Yatong knew she had no way of controlling the man in front of her, and if she chose to interfere with his decision, while he might listen to her temporarily, he would slowly generate a sort of dislike for her. Her wisest choice would be to use her own abilities and charm to slowly win over his heart.

Yue Zhong looked at Gu Manzi and asked coldly,

"Can you cook?"

"No!" Gu Manzi came from a well-to-do family; before the events of Z-Day, she was living like a princess. Other than ordering take-outs, she would go to various restaurants and dine there. With regards to preparing meals, she had not considered doing that before.

Yue Zhong continued to say softly, "Do you know how to wash clothes?"

"No!" Gu Manzi's expression was turning ugly. Every household had a washing machine before Z-Day and so a princess like her would not even know how to wash manually. However, after Z-Day, washing clothes by hand became an important task, as a huge amount of clothes had to be washed.

Yue Zhong grabbed Zhuo Yatong's hands, before looking towards Gu Manzi and asking,

"Are you as beautiful as her?"

Gu Manzi looked at Zhuo Yatong jealously, then with an expression that seemed as though she was about to break down, she said,

"No!"

Gu Manzi was very confident in herself, yet she knew that she could not compare to Zhuo Yatong's beauty, elegance or aura.

With her hand held by Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong felt a sweetness in her heart and she smiled at Yue Zhong.

Yun Caiwei saw that Yue Zhong was holding her mother's hand and her bright eyes lit up as she ate her meat with gusto. The Type 2 Mutant Boar meat was really a delicacy and its taste was amazing. She was also afraid of going hungry, hence until she had eaten her fill, she would not think about letting her mouth rest.

"I do need someone to wait on me, so if you do want to stay, you will need to learn how to be a maid. If you aren't willing, you are free to leave now. If you stay, then sit with us and have a meal together."

Just as Gu Manzi was prepared to leave, humiliated and holding back the tears, Yue Zhong's soothing voice resounded in her ears.

Yue Zhong was not willing to take in some other girl that he would have to take care of. He only let Gu Manzi stay because he needed a maid. Zhuo Yatong was already his woman, so he did not want to treat her like a maid and order her around.

Gu Manzi couldn't help but blurt out. "I'm willing!!"

After which, she immediately sat down with her eyes staring at the piece of meat, and she gulped down her saliva without any regard for her dignity.

Seeing her expression, Zhuo Yatong smiled understandably and proceeded to slice off pieces of meat, placing them on a plate for Gu Manzi. She had been, after all, in a similar situation not too long ago.

Upon receiving the plate, Gu Manzi immediately dug in and wolfed down the pieces of meat with gusto. She licking the plate clean, before continuing to stare at the roasted meat.

Yue Zhong glanced at Gu Manzi and said,

"You can only eat 3 plates of meat. Based on your current state, if you eat too much, it would not be good for your body!"

To someone who had starved for a long time like Gu Manzi, placing too much stress on the stomach after such a long period of hunger could cause death from over-eating.

Listening to Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong sliced off 2 servings worth of meat again with some rice, before giving it to Gu Manzi.

Gu Manzi looked down at the rice and meat in front of her, her eyes reddening as huge drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. This was the best meal she had eaten in the 3 months since the end of the world. However, having eaten this meal, she had to accept the fact that she was no longer a proud princess. Instead, she now had to wait on this man in front of her. Although she was a maidservant in name, she was very clear that should Yue Zhong want to obtain her body, she had no way of declining.

Since things had gotten to this point, although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but tear up a little at the humiliation she felt.

Niu Jiang did not pay attention to the crying Gu Manzi, as his gaze also fixed on the piece of meat. He asked,

"Give me one more plate, Yue Zhong! This meat is really too delicious. What meat is this?"

As he squeezed Zhuo Yatong's hands, Yue Zhong lightly smiled and said, "It's meat from a Mutant Beast."

Zhuo Yatong smiled back at Yue Zhong, before serving one more plate to Niu Jiang.

As he stuffed his face with the meat, Niu Jiang asked,

"Mutant Beast meat. Sure enough, you must be really powerful to be able to dispose of something as scary and fearsome as a Mutant Beast. At that time, more than 10 of my brothers died to a Mutant Cat. Oh right, Yue Zhong, you must be an Enhancer as well? What's your current level now?"

As Niu Jiang spoke these words, everyone looked towards Yue Zhong. They all wanted to know this secret.

Yue Zhong laughed lightly and said. "It's a secret!"

Every Enhancer's level was considered to be a secret. If it was known, it would be easy to deduce his/her abilities and skills, as well as how many attribute points they had. This was an important battle of wits, and so Yue Zhong naturally wouldn't let others find out so easily.

Just as Yue Zhong and Niu Jiang were resumed their idle conversations, 5 women walked out from the huge camp of survivors up to Yue Zhong's side.

Chapter 213: Huang Weian's plot!

"Sir, please let us have some! I haven't eaten properly for a month already. As long as you feed me, I will do whatever you want me to." A somewhat pretty yet haggard-looking lady spoke as she combed her hair in an attempt to look more presentable, while her eyes were fixed on Yue Zhong.

Another plain-looking, yet the youngest of the remaining female survivors also pleaded to Yue Zhong, "Please give me some! 2 slices, if you just give me 2 slices, I'll let you have your way with me for the night."

"Please, let me have just one slice…..!"

The 5 of them continued staring at Yue Zhong, pleading and begging. Gu Manzi had earned a place with Yue Zhong and that gave all of them hope. They were all going crazy from the hunger: if they could just eat their fill, they were willing to forsake their dignity and face.

Hunger could drive anyone mad. In the history of mankind, during periods of famines, it was not uncommon for people to eat their own kin. In the most recent famine, there was an actual case of a father eating his own son's flesh. From this, it could be seen how scary hunger was. The 5 poor women were also almost driven crazy by starvation, and so there was no point considering their dignity or face when their hunger was much more urgent.

Even someone like Gu Manzi who came from a prestigious background disregarded her dignity and came to beg Yue Zhong for food. They naturally also had no hesitation.

Seeing the 5 women who were willing to sell their bodies for food and were begging Yue Zhong pitifully, Zhuo Yatong trembled in her heart and unconsciously grasped Yue Zhong's big hands. She had experienced the terror of going hungry to the point of torment; if not for the appearance of Yue Zhong, the only road for her then would be death. Having experienced the cruelty of the current apocalyptic world, it reinforced her decision to follow Yue Zhong and led her to realize that she was so lucky to have him.

Yue Zhong looked at the 5 ladies and his eyebrows furrowed as he pointed to Gu Manzi and lightly said,

"If your conditions are better than hers, I will allow you to stay. Otherwise, please leave by your own accord. Don't force me to act."

The moment Yue Zhong finished talking, the silent 2m-tall White Bones stood up. Holding an axe the colour of black gold, it started circling the 5 women with its demonic fiery eyes constantly staring at them.

Under the effect of the Camouflage Skill, the people there only saw White Bones as a huge man of 2m, and the 2m long metallic axe in its hands gave a huge oppressing aura to anybody who saw it and made people feel uneasy.

The 5 of them looked at Gu Manzi who was busy devouring the meat and they immediately felt saddened. Although they were quite pretty, they could not compare to her.

Four of them took one last look at White Bones and its axe and their eyes flashed with a hint of fear, before they turned around and made their way back to the normal campsite. After Z-Day, normal society order had collapsed and humanity was also slowly eroding away; they did not know what would happen if they were to annoy Yue Zhong. They did not want to offend a strong person.

The remaining person was tall and fair-skinned. She had a round face as well as other beautiful features, and she started promoting herself to Yue Zhong,

"I am a fellow student of Gu Manzi and I also graduated from the XXX University of the Arts. I am 24 this year. I can dance, sing, cook and even wash clothes. Sir, please keep me with you! My worth is certainly not below Gu Manzi's. As long as you let me eat my fill, I am willing to do anything."

Gu Manzi suddenly lifted her head and looked at Wang Ni before commenting coldly,

"Wang Ni. You lost your virginity when you were in university and after that, you still changed boyfriends 4 times. How can you compare yourself to me!"

After experiencing the cruelty of the post-apocalyptic world, Gu Manzi had changed for the wiser as well. She saw that Yue Zhong only had a car and his reserves were immaterial. The fewer the members in the team, the longer the team could hold out, and her personal portion would be more as well. If more people joined, she would have to share Yue Zhong with them and she was not willing to see that.

"Gu Manzi, why you!!"

Wang Ni's past had now been revealed. Her face paled as she immediately tried to explain to Yue Zhong,

"That was all in the past. I haven't had a boyfriend this year. I can cook, wash and do basically any household chores!!"

Yue Zhong looked at Wang Ni before coldly retorting, "Go away!"

Wang Ni's face turned the colour of ash as she looked towards Gu Manzi with a gaze full of hatred and cursed.

"Gu Manzi! From today onwards, you are not my friend anymore. You will get your just desserts! I curse you to have a horrible death!!"

Yue Zhong frowned and he made a gesture with his hand. White Bones immediately leapt forward and gave a huge slap across Wang Ni's face, causing it to swell.

He looked at Wang Ni coldly before saying,

"Gu Manzi is one of my people. The only one who can scold her, beat her or teach her a lesson is me."

Wang Ni covered her face. Huge drops of tears rolled down her cheeks and she immediately turned and left as she cried. After Z-Day, she had been dumped by her new boyfriend who left on his own. Now, even one of her girl friends had stabbed her in the back, causing her to feel even more hurt.

Gu Man Zi looked at Wang Ni from afar before lowering her head and continuing to eat her meat carefully. As of now, she had cut off ties with one of her friends, just so she could lead a better life for herself.

[TN: How cruel… }

(Divinecelestialbeinglol: Kun's too soft hearted for this sort of stuff …)

Huang Weian saw these events from afar and he lowered his head in thought, before first walking towards Wang Jian and whispering something. Then he walked amongst the survivors to invoke some emotions.

Not long after, under the encouragement of Huang Weian, a huge number of survivors stood up and slowly walked towards Yue Zhong's campfire.

As the crowd of over 200 people started moving, there was an extremely oppressive force, as if Mount Tai was looming over and pressurizing Yue Zhong's camp.

Seeing the approaching forces, Liu Erhei became restless and nervous as he stood up immediately; he took out the .54 handgun Yue Zhong had given to him and fired a shot into the sky, before calling out loudly, "What do you think you're doing!

With the 'bang', the 200 survivors immediately halted their steps, too frightened to advance. They saw the gun in Liu Erhei's hands and their eyes were full of fear.

As a commoner, it was normal to fear guns. It was only those who lived constantly on the edge, or were on the wrong side of the law, who wouldn't be afraid of Liu Erhei's actions.

All the gazes filled with fear, indecision and hesitation naturally fell onto Huang Weian. After all, they had all been motivated to act by his doing- if no one were to lead them, they also didn't dare stir up trouble.

Under the gaze of so many people, Huang Weian sighed in his heart before standing up and calling out in a self-righteous voice,

"Yue Zhong, you have joined our vehicle fleet, so you can be considered one of our family members. We hope that you can take out all your rations and share them with us along the journey."

After that, his greedy eyes roamed over to Zhuo Yatong and Gu Manzi who were both sitting beside Yue Zhong. Even though he kept a number of decent looking ladies with him, compared to Zhuo Yatong and Gu Manzi, they were not much.

Huang Weian retracted his gaze and fixedly stared at Yue Zhong while thinking to himself,

"It's okay, as long as I gain control over the food, they will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand."

"I do have food here!" Yue Zhong looked at Huang Weian and he coldly laughed, before directly opening his backpack and showing the contents inside. Inside, there was a huge pack of rice, milk, cakes, candy, instant noodles and various other foods.

Seeing the huge amount of rations in Yue Zhong's opened bag, all the survivors turned green with envy. They clenched their fists tightly and their breathing becoming ragged. After Z-Day, gold was useless; there was only food, food was the true bargaining chip.

Gu Manzi saw the amount of food inside Yue Zhong's bag and sucked in a breath of air, silently celebrating her decision to follow Yue Zhong in her heart.

"I do have food! But why should I give it to you?" Yue Zhong laughed coldly, before continuing,

"I scavenged all these based on my own efforts, my blood and sweat, from killing hundreds of zombies and retrieving these from their mouths. What justifications do you have to make me give it to you? Did you guys even contribute any amount of effort into obtaining these? So shameless!"

Facing Yue Zhong's rebuke, a large number of the survivors immediately felt ashamed, yet they continued staring at the rations in his bag.

Huang Weian looked towards the rations and his eyes flashed with a strange light as he spoke in his self-righteous voice again,

"Yue Zhong, it can be considered that we are in a national crisis now. Everyone should be working together, to get past this together. You should not prioritize your own self-interests above others, you should think for the masses instead. Do you know what your current actions are tantamount to? Selfish. Fine, let me represent the group, the government as well as the people to borrow your food and rations. When the country has overcome this obstacle, I will return it to you by 10 times. I also promise that when I have the rations, you will get your fair share. No one will starve as I bring you all into SY County."

"Yeah!! Bring out the rations!"

"Everyone should share!"

"Give the rations to Magistrate Huang !!"

Under the pretentious act of Huang Weian, the 200 survivors got riled up and started calling for Yue Zhong to surrender his rations. If it weren't for the fact that they feared the firearms in Yue Zhong's hands, they would have already attacked and taken everything.

After all the bullsh*t, the survivors were just after Yue Zhong's rations; Huang Weian was making use of their psychological states to provoke and rile their emotions.

Hearing the agitated calls of the survivors behind him, Huang Weian wore an extremely satisfied expression on his face. As long as he gained the control over the rations in Yue Zhong's hands, if he wanted to bed a woman, then he would be able to get the woman. Otherwise, they would be driven to insanity by their hunger.

Chapter 214: A Violent Disturbance!

This chapter was sponsored by Melvin Smith, Anon1 and Bruce Chen! The first ever sponsored chapter! *Cheers*

Seeing the crowd of restless survivors, Niu Jiang's face changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, he stood up and smiled apologetically to Yue Zhong,

"Sorry! I am a member of this fleet after all!"

After he finished speaking, Niu Jiang left and returned to his own subordinates to silently watch the events unfold. A few slices of roasted meat were not enough for him to entrust Yue Zhong with his life and they were only acquaintances who had met by chance.

As she watched the zealous, imposing crowd of over 200 survivors, a hint of fear flashed through Gu Manzi's eyes and she retreated a few steps. If those survivors were incited and began to riot, they would be even more frightening than the fiercest beasts.

Yue Zhong instantly stood up with the silenced .05 Light Assault Rifle in his right hand and the .54 Handgun in his left, and directly fired a shot in front of Huang Weian.

"Trying to get my food! No way! All of you f*ck off for daddy, you crowd of trash! If you have the ability, go and snatch back some food from the zombies yourselves! If you advance one more step, I'm warning you that my gun can't see what it's doing!"

An extremely accurate bullet shot right in front of Huang Weian, whose face suddenly paled. As he looked at the silenced .05 Light Assault Rifle and the .54 Handgun in Yue Zhong's hands, he took several steps backwards, no longer with that soaring spirit from before. Although his ability to incite people was impressive, his inherent nature was that of a coward.

"Yue Zhong…"

Huang Weian had just wanted to continue speaking when he was forcefully cut off by Yue Zhong.

"Huang Weian, you shut up for me and f*ck off. Otherwise, the first person to be shot by daddy will be you!"

After being berated by Yue Zhong, the color of Huang Weian's face changed back and forth from green to white. His mouth trembled a few times and then he turned around, walking away gloomily like a stray dog.

Yue Zhong suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun in Wang Jian's direction and shouted in a voice full of hostility with a cold killing intent,

"Wang Jian, I'm warning you, don't point a gun at me. Otherwise, I don't mind killing all of you! I've killed several thousand zombies before, and the number of people who have died by my hands is also over one hundred. If I have to kill one then I'll do it, if I have to kill one hundred then I'll do it as well! I didn't come here to harm you, so you shouldn't try to harm me. If you make me mad, none of you should think of surviving! Put your gun away carefully, otherwise you'll definitely die!"

Wang Jian and the four other policemen had rescued 200 survivors and maintained order in the camp as well, letting the survivors here still have some humanity in them. This made Yue Zhong greatly admire their characters in his heart. However, if a conflict began between the two sides, Yue Zhong would still kill them without any hesitation. After all, this was an apocalypse world where human lives were only worth as much those of ants, and Yue Zhong only wanted to properly survive. Even if they were saints, he would still kill those who blocked his path to survival without error.

Of course, if there was no need, Yue Zhong didn't wish to get rid of the five policemen. Without the protection of them, very quickly, there might be heavy casualties in this fleet of over 200 survivors. The only remaining order and humanity would also completely collapse.

Yue Zhong had no interest in taking control of this fleet and becoming its leader because it didn't have a stable base like Big Cliff Village, Stone Horse Village or Qing Yuan County. If he did take in this fleet, he could very well end up having to worry about their food supplies everyday. If it wasn't for that, he would have long gotten rid of an unreliable official like Huang Weian.

In the brutal apocalypse world, Yue Zhong was able to kill his enemies without even blinking an eye. Nevertheless, he wasn't willing to carry out any senseless killings and he also wasn't willing to watch the few remaining survivors die for no reason.

Wang Jian and the other four policemen had originally wanted to use their guns to subdue Yue Zhong, except Yue Zhong's speed vastly surpassed theirs. Wang Jian was just about to take action when Yue Zhong's silenced .05 Light Assault Rifle had already locked onto them. He was able to feel Yue Zhong's powerful killing intent: if they moved in the slightest, the opposition would definitely kill them without any hesitation. This made Wang Jian not dare to move at all.

As he endured the extremely strong pressure from Yue Zhong, Wang Jian slowly said,

"I understand now! Please put down your gun first! We promise not to point our guns at you. If you are unwilling to take out your food and share it with everyone, please leave our fleet."

The other four policemen also didn't dare to make any moves; although they had a very strong sense of justice, they were not madmen. They weren't willing to sacrifice their own lives in vain for no reason.

Pointing the silenced .05 Light Assault Rifle directly at the crowd, Yue Zhong said in an icy voice,

"Tomorrow I will leave! Right now, all of you guys, go back to your camp for me. I will count to ten, those who don't go, just lie down here for the better!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

After being threatened at gunpoint by Yue Zhong, those survivors with no backbone immediately fled desperately in the direction of the camp. Amidst the chaos and trampling, three frail-bodied female survivors were knocked down by the other survivors, then were trampled into meat paste.

Cries, cold voices and shouting sounded out throughout the crowd. Not a single person looked back at those three female survivors who had been trampled to death: in this apocalypse world, deaths were very common. Everyday there were humans who were killed, starved or committed suicide- after witnessing enough of this, people would naturally become insensitive to such matters. As long as the people who died weren't their relatives, none of them would care.

Yue Zhong glanced at the chaos in the crowd, then said lightly to Gu Manzi and Liu Erhei,

"It's alright now! Eat!"

Gu Manzi, Liu Erhei and Zhuo Yatong all gazed at Yue Zhong with awe. Just now, the 200 survivors who had all been instigated by Huang Weian and formed an extremely imposing force were now all very frightened. They would never have thought that Yue Zhong could resolve the crisis so easily, making Huang Weian go back to his own camp in the manner of a stray dog.

"How overbearing!"

Niu Jiang watched as Yue Zhong drove back those 200 survivors all by himself and a hint of radiance flashed past his eyes. He let out a sigh. Just now, he wasn't determined to stay on Yue Zhong's side, and now he felt a slight regret.

Truthfully, if Yue Zhong had been weak and cowering just now, Niu Jiang probably would have gone and trampled on him as well, stealing away everything that he could steal from him.

In the apocalypse world, every survivor knew about the cruel law of the jungle. As soon as you revealed some weakness, the surrounding wolves would all pounce on you and take away everything you had.

If Yue Zhong had given his food to Huang Weian just now, after receiving the food, Huang Weian would immediately request Yue Zhong to join the armed forces. This way, he would receive unified command. He was compressing Yue Zhong's 'survival space' step by step, forcing Yue Zhong to become a chess piece in his hands. Only Huang Weian didn't think Yue Zhong would have such a fierce and decisive reaction, leaving him with no way of escape.

After Yue Zhong had exposed his vicious fangs, those survivors naturally didn't dare to come provoke him again. Yue Zhong and his party thus cheerfully finished their dinner.

After dinner, Gu Manzi obediently took the initiative to do the washing-up. Meanwhile, Yue Zhong made Zhuo Yatong start doing shooting practice with the .54 Handgun.

Within Yue Zhong's storage ring, there were 1300 rounds of ammunition for the .54 Handgun, so Zhuo Yatong could shoot as much as she wanted.

Hearing round after round of gunshots, those survivor's bodies were all trembling slightly. If they had continued to pressurise Yue Zhong just now, those bullets probably would've been fired at them.

"Do they really have that many bullets to waste? Perhaps what that Yue Zhong said about him killing several thousand zombies is true! I don't know if forcing him to leave the fleet was right or wrong!"

Wang Jian heard the constant gunshots from nearby and he had some very complicated feelings in his heart. When Huang Weian had initially encouraged him, he had agreed to force Yue Zhong to hand over the food, but that was because the fleet's food supplies had already reached a dangerously low amount.

Food and drink for over 200 people was not a small amount. Their fleet simply didn't dare to enter towns, and so they were only able to find some small villages to search for resources. Even if they did come across a small village, they could only be like thieves and would secretly kill a few zombies, clear everything from a small supermarket or convenience store and then leave.

If they were discovered by a horde of zombies, they could only flee in panic. Subsequently, in the process of searching for zombies, there were constant deaths of fleet members, making the morale of the fleet lower and lower. Those who were willing to go out and search for resources became fewer and fewer.

As Yue Zhong stood beside Zhuo Yatong, he gave her pointers on her shooting skills. Zhuo Yatong was already a novice at fighting battles with zombies, so with her ability and equipment, finishing off evolved zombies like an L1 or an S1 was no problem. However, when it came to dealing with other humans, firearms were still more practical and were a great deterrent.

The time of year had already entered the autumn season. A night breeze blew and a chill swept across everyone.

The wind blew across Yun Caiwei, who was standing beside Yue Zhong, making hershrink back slightly. She tugged at the corners of Yue Zhong's clothes, using that big pair of delicate and charming eyes to look at him, saying,

"Big brother, can you hug me? I'm a bit cold!"

"Alright!" Yue Zhong looked at Yun Caiwei, who seemed as delicate as porcelain, and then he hugged her in his embrace. A hint of fragrance spread from her body.

Like a kitten, she curled up in Yue Zhong's embrace, feeling the warmth from his body; her face was filled with satisfaction. With this broad and warm embrace, she didn't need to worry about the wind and rain outside anymore. Not long after, she fell asleep.

After she had fired more than a dozen rounds, Zhuo Yatong returned to Yue Zhong's side.

Zhuo Yatong, Yue Zhong, Yun Caiwei and Gu Manzi all cleaned themselves up before getting into a camping tent. Meanwhile, Liu Erhei had luckily also gotten a tent for himself.

Holding its large axe, White Bones patrolled the surroundings.

"How comfortable!" After she got into the tent, Gu Manzi slept to the right of Yun Caiwei. She was covered with a blanket and stretched her own body, feeling how full her stomach was. Then she closed her eyes and happily fell asleep. This was the first time she had slept so sweetly since the beginning of the apocalypse world one month ago. She didn't have to worry about food, her own future or her safety.

Zhuo Yatong glanced at Yue Zhong, who was sleeping to her right, and she leaned forward, kissing him lightly on the face. Only then did she fall asleep, clinging onto one of his arms.

In this moonless night, a group of militants crept through the dark night one after another, as careful as mice. They silently approached the fleet.

Chapter 215: Night Raid!

In the darkness, a militant accidentally triggered a trap mechanism as he advanced. Not far from him, a few beer bottles dropped, hitting the rock floor and shattering with a loud crash. In the lonely and quiet night, the sound was amplified.

"ENEMIES!" A bus filled with night guards who were half asleep awoke and shouted loudly.

After the apocalypse, danger was everywhere. With fearsome zombies, fierce mutant beasts and even humans who became depraved, nowhere was safe. Without any preparation or safety, no one could even think of wandering around freely now, as it meant death.

The survivors in the buses awoke with a start as they looked out into the dark with fear, and sat helplessly in their own seats. All they could do was wait.

The bus drivers had also woken up at the start and had prepared their engines to drive off. Only by starting their vehicles could they break free from the ambush. As for retaliation, the thought had never even crossed their minds.

"Kill!! Kill the drivers!!" The leader of the militants issued an order loudly.

Immediately, those militants who were creeping around quietly and carefully like lizards stood up one by one, lifting their guns and aiming at the numerous buses. They let loose a barrage of bullets.

The barrage of bullets penetrated the windows of the vehicles, making glass shatter everywhere and rain down inside the vehicles. All the survivors inside the buses crouched down in fear. Most of them could not help screaming to vent their inner fears.

Under the sudden attack of these militants, 3 unfortunate bus drivers were shot to death, collapsing limply in their seats.

Some of the other vehicles managed to start and began to make their way into the distance.

Right at this moment, another 2 huge buses came from the front of the lane, sealing off the road ahead. Another 2 buses drove from behind and cut off their retreat.

Huang Weian had a look of horror on his face; he grabbed the driver next to him, He Ye, and pointed to the right of the road before shouting, "Go!! DRIVE!! Why did you stop? Why did you stop?! There! Drive towards there!!"

He Ye saw the barren lands on both sides of the road and he gritted his teeth, veering the bus off the path and rushing towards the wilderness.

The remaining jeeps and humvees also split up and drove off the road, driving towards the wilderness. That was the only lifeline they had at the moment. They couldn't care less about the survivors in the 2 remaining buses.

A number of militants jumped off the 2 buses that had blocked the way forward, and in their hands, there were .81 Rifles and .79 Assault Rifles.

A dense barrage of bullets was fired through the windows of the survivor buses, instantly killing the drivers.

Under the firepower of the militants, the drivers of the Dongfeng vehicles panicked and rushed out towards the main road. Bullet after bullet hit the 4 Dongfeng vehicles, causing many sparks to fly out.

The militants saw that the vehicles were leaving one by one, making a beeline for the main road, and a small detachment of 30 people immediately chased. The land here was full of detritus and forests, and the direction that those vehicles were heading towards had a small forest: even if it were an off-road vehicle, its speed would not be fast enough to navigate the forest in a short span of time. Sooner or later, the militants would catch up.

Another team of 12 militants strode towards the 3 buses- to them, the buses were already their spoils.

Right at this time, 5 policemen jumped out swiftly from one of the buses. The moment they disembarked, they rolled onto the ground and raised their .79 Assault Rifles, beginning their counter-attack on the 12 militants.

Caught off-guard and under the rapid fire of those assault rifles, three militants took heavy damage, with one of them instantly dying when a bullet penetrated his head. As for the other two, one received a shot to his chest, whilst another received a shot to his waist, falling down to the floor and wailing in agony.

The remaining militants immediately dived towards the side, searching for cover as they scrambled away; at the same time, they fired back at the 5 policemen.

Both sides were engaged in a fierce gunfight in the dark of the night.

On the other hand, the survivors in the 3 buses were a different story. They were panicking yet staying still like wooden chickens, feeling jittery as they watched the gunfight, waiting for their fate to be decided by the winners.

"Get up all of you, don't make a single sound!" The moment the beer bottles had smashed, Yue Zhong had jolted awake and he immediately patted the 3 ladies sleeping beside him awake.

[TN: 2 Ladies and 1 kid to be exact…]

Zhuo Yatong, Yun Caiwei and Gu Manzi all woke up and stared at Yue Zhong mutely. Although they were a little shocked, they knew that the man in front of them was reliable. As long as he was not panicking, they were not afraid.

"Stay here. I will go take a look at what is happening. My orders!" Yue Zhong then swiftly left the tent, immediately rolling onto the ground and looking into the distance as he lay there.

Not long after, fierce gunshots rang out from the survivor camps.

Due to the events that had occurred the previous evening, when Yue Zhong had set up camp, he had set it up further away from the main camp. It was because of this that his danger perception did not act up, and he did not manage to catch onto the militants' actions.

"Kill them!" Yue Zhong saw 3 militants approaching and immediately gave an order to White Bones.

Upon receiving the order, White Bones' eyes flashed with a demonic fire; pulling out its huge White Bone Axe, it rushed towards the 3 militants like a tank.

The 3 militants saw White Bones rushing over and their faces had a hint of ridicule on them as they raised their guns and fired at it.

"What a stupid enhancer! Actually using a system weapon to charge at us, do you think we're zombies?" A militant thought in his heart as he was firing at White Bones, laughing coldly. They knew that the current world had given birth to many enhancers who were stronger than normal human beings, yet even their stronger bodies would die if they were to be hit by a bullet. There was nothing for the militants to fear.

However, their faces turned pale when they realised that the bullets were bouncing off White Bones' body, merely causing sparks to fly out and not doing anything to impede its charge.

Seeing that their guns were ineffective at hurting White Bones, the 3 militants were frightened and immediately turned around, starting to run back in a frenzy. An existence that could not be damaged by bullets was not something they had prepared for, and the huge axe in its hands was obviously a close-range weapon; they did not want to be dismembered by it.

White Bones saw the escaping militants and immediately stopped in its tracks as it raised its left claw. At that instant, 3 Bone Spears shot out from White Bones' left claw, piercing through the 3 militants' heads and killing them instantly.

After going through various enhancements, White Bones was able to act independently and it was now able to accurately manipulate 3 Bone Spears at once within a range of 100 metres. Subsequently, it could easily shoot out and control the bone spears, finishing off the 3 normal enemies.

Yue Zhong saw that White Bones had disposed of the 3 enemies who were approaching, and he called out in a low voice to those in the tent, "Come out now!"

Zhuo Yatong, Yun Caiwei, Gu Manzi and Liu Erhei all walked out of the tents. They had heard the gunshots from nearby- there had obviously been an intense battle going on out there. Upon realizing that fact, their faces turned pale.

Gunfight! They had only seen scenes like this before in the movies: now that it was happening to themselves, the fear of the stray bullets that might randomly hit them struck deep into their hearts.

The moment Zhuo Yatong and the rest saw Yue Zhong, their panic was quelled a little, as his face had not a single tinge of fear to it. Instead, it was endlessly calm.

"Follow me!"

Yue Zhong pulled away Zhuo Yatong and the rest; under the cover of the dark night, they arrived quietly at a small forest.

"I will leave Iron Bones (Yue Zhong's chosen moniker for White Bones) to stay behind and protect you guys. Don't leave this place. As long as Iron Bones is not dead, you guys will be fine."

Yue Zhong threw a huge pile of ropes and a .54 Handgun to Liu Erhei before saying lightly,

"I'm going to go take care of those guys. Liu Erhei, follow behind me and help me tie up some prisoners."

Liu Erhei's body twitched as his hands shook while lifting the ropes and the .54 Handgun; he had a pleading look on his face as he gazed at Yue Zhong. He was not willing to take part in such a dangerous operation because he was certain that if he was careless, then he would die.

Yue Zhong stared fiercely at him and Liu Erhei knew that he could not change his mind. He had also witnessed Yue Zhong's heavy-handedness before and was clear on Yue Zhong's behavior, therefore he could only resign himself to his fate.

Zhuo Yatong had a look full of worry as she said, "Do take care!"

Yun Caiwei also called out sweetly, "Big Brother, you must come back safely. Little Wei will pray for you, you will definitely be safe."

[TN: Little asian girls have a tendency to refer to themselves using the third-person]

Gu Manzi looked at Yue Zhong and was at a loss. She was vehemently against the idea of Yue Zhong taking action all on his own. To her, there were many people on the opposite side- with so many guns, the current best course of action was to sneak away while they were not paying attention. She did not know why Yue Zhong had such guts. She hesitated for a while before also saying, "Be careful."

Yue Zhong laughed, bringing Liu Erhei with him as they charged in the direction of the fight.

With the strengthening of his passive skill Night Enhancement, Yue Zhong's night vision had improved to a farther distance and he was now more aware of danger.

To most people, the darkness of the night was a hindrance to the eyesight, yet to Yue Zhong, it was the best cover. Under the cover of the darkness, he quietly sneaked into the survivor camp.

Chapter 216: Tong Xiaoyun!

A dozen militants had already surrounded the 2 buses; under the threat of the militants' firearms, the survivors in the bus had no choice but to exit the bus one by one, with fear written all over their faces.

Amongst the 70 survivors that disembarked, the 30 students were part of them as well. All of them looked at the militants with their guns and their faces were filled with fear and panic.

"This time, our harvest isn't bad at all!" One of the militants looked at the survivors, as if he were gazing at a flock of sheep.

"Yeah! This time, there are a lot of quality goods!" Another militant swept a look over the survivors and his eyes brightened as he pulled out Wang Ni from the crowd. He laughed before saying to the rest, "I shall have my fun first, I will let you guys have a turn later."

As Wang Ni was dragged out by the militant, although she was shocked, she did not resist. She knew that it would come to this sooner or later, but she couldn't care less; anyway, she was not some virtuous lady, she just wanted to live on. Resisting the militant could result in her death.

"Chen Jian! F* your mother! Who wants to play with your leftovers!"

Another militant scoffed jokingly as his eyes flashed with an obscene light and also roamed across the survivors. At last, his gaze landed onto one of the students and his eyes lit up. He dragged out a female student of around 13-14 years old with an oval face and snow-white skin, as well as a seemingly very pure and beautiful appearance.

The student who was dragged out was called Tong Xiaoyun. She was both delicate and beautiful, her character was quiet and well-behaved, and she consistently received good grades. She was considered the dream first love for many of the boys in the class.

The moment the militant pulled Tong Xiaoyun out, he stirred up the hornet's nest as many of the students called out emotionally and agitatedly.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

"Let go of Xiaoyun!!"

"Go die!" Facing the ire of these middle school students, the militant's face turned hideous and he immediately pulled out a gun, firing 6 shots at two of the boys who were especially agitated.

At such a short distance, one of the boys received a bullet to his brain and his eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief as he lifelessly crumpled to the floor. The other student had multiple shot wounds in his chest and flecks of blood splashed out as he also fell to the floor without another word.

Seeing this miserable scene, the rest of the survivors immediately wailed in fright and chaos was about to ensue once again.

With a sweep, the militants aimed their guns at the survivors and all of them shivered; they stood still, not daring to move.

The militant leader looked at the survivors with scorn before shouting out overbearingly,

"Damn it! All you measly pieces of sh*t, you must be tired of living! If daddy wants to play with some women, what's it to you?! Do you believe that I will slaughter you and make you into human sausages!?"

After being hollered at by the leader of the militants, the survivors quietened down and looked at him in fear.

"Bah! Cowards!" The leader laughed coldly as he spat out a mouthful of phlegm directly onto the face of the most agitated student earlier.

That student was called Zhang Mi. He had always been secretly admiring Tong Xiaoyun. Earlier, when she was dragged out, his emotions went into a disarray. He had also just received the humiliation of the militant and his heart was full of fury and resentment, yet the fates of those two classmates of his had warned him about the consequences of being rash.

"Chick! Do you see that? No one will come to your rescue!!" The militant pinched Tong Xiaoyun's cheeks and let her look at the teacher and students nearby.

"Wake up to the reality in front of you. No one will save you and no one is able to. If you service me properly, I don't mind feeding you. If you make me unhappy, then you will be passed around my brothers before we cook you!"

Tong Xiaoyun looked towards her teacher Liu Jin and classmates pleadingly, hoping for a brave person to stand up for her and save her from the hands of the militant.

However, it was in vain as her teacher and fellow students all avoided her gaze and didn't even dare to look at her. Amongst the students, there were enhancers but they did not possess strong skills and under the threat of firearms, even enhancers couldn't do much.

Tong Xiaoyun was starting to despair: she was brought up to be virtuous and traditional, and not as open-minded as Wang Ni. If she was raped by the militant, she would not be able to continue living.

The militant let out a perverted smile, licking his lips as he pushed Tong Xiaoyun to the ground. After that, he undid his zipper and pulled out his ugly thing; while holding his gun to Tong Xiaoyun's head, he laughed pervertedly and said, "Lick it!!"

[TN: That is horrible. She's only 14 for goodness' sake.]

[Divinecelestialbeinglol: I like pizza.]

After Z-Day, the constant pressure and stress to live on, as well as the uncertainty towards the future had resulted in the depravity of a lot of people's hearts. The militant was also a pervert to begin with and liked to humiliate girls in front of an audience, desolating their body and mind. The despairing look on their faces was like a drug to him, giving him immense pleasure.

Tong Xiaoyun was kneeling on the ground and could feel the gazes of the rest of them on her like knives. She was unwilling to perform this type of vile thing in front of other people, yet she could feel the gun pressing against her head; if she did not heed the perverted militant's words, she would be shot dead on the spot.

The militant used the gun and without a shred of pity, pressed it against her head and shouted out threateningly, "Faster! Do you want to die?!"

Tong Xiaoyun only felt that her world had suddenly collapsed and she began to cry, her hands trembling as she slowly reached out for the ugly thing in front of her eyes.

The militant's eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure; yet another pitiful creature was about to be conquered under his threats and he felt a sick sense of gratification.

'Bang!'

A last hint of fear flashed past the militant's eyes. In between his eyebrows, there was now an additional hole that had been created by a bullet. He crumpled to the floor lifelessly with disbelief on his face.

The rest of the militants, who were planning to enjoy themselves by watching the live-action performance in front of them, immediately went into an uproar.

Bang! Bang!

Clear gunshots rang out incessantly throughout the dark of the night and with every gunshot, one more militant would be shot dead.

The militants couldn't care less about controlling the survivors right now and immediately split up to find cover.

Taking advantage of the chaos happening among the militants, Zhang Mi ran to Tong Xiaoyun's side and urged, "Tong Xiaoyun, hurry, let's escape!!"

Tong Xiaoyun looked at Zhang Mi, her pale face suddenly smiling and saying,

"Escape? Where can we escape to? Everywhere out there is filled with zombies, mutant beasts, and even scarier humans. Even if we make use of the chance to escape, without rations nor a vehicle, where can we run to?"

Tong Xiaoyun was a smart child to begin with, it was just that she was well taken care of and had been sheltered all her life. She had never had the chance to fully utilize her brain. Humans were like that- if not forced into a corner, people would not be able to exhibit their strongest traits. Under the earlier threats, she had begun to think a lot in the ugly situation.

Watching at the pitiful-looking Tong Xiaoyun, in a moment of hot-bloodedness, Zhang Mi couldn't help but cry out loudly, "Tong Xiaoyun, come with me! I will use my life to protect you!"

Tong Xiaoyun only looked at Zhang Mi coldly; if it was before, she would have been grateful, maybe even fall for him. However, she knew that his words were just that, words. When she was feeling despondent earlier, Zhang Mi had chosen to keep quiet to one side, looking on powerlessly. Whatever he said now, she could not believe even if she wanted to.

At this time, a huge number of the survivors were fighting to escape in other directions. The militants were obviously not decent human beings, especially the leader who mentioned human sausages. It was obvious that this power was not a proper one in any way, and so the survivors were not willing to stay any longer.

"I'm leaving! Take care of yourself!" Tong Xiaoyun looked towards the darkness and her eyes flashed as she mustered her courage and determination, before running in the direction where the bullets were being fired from.

Zhang Mi looked at the departing back of Tong Xiaoyun and his face fell. In the end, he still turned around and ran back towards his classmates. As the leader was Liu Jin, even if he was a low level enhancer and could not do much to people who held guns, against the normal zombies, they had a small chance of prevailing. Searching for resources was also easier with others than by oneself.

In this current world, one would need to possess an adequate amount of strength to do things independently. Without it, only by joining together with others could one ensure a difficult but possible survival.

The one who was disposing of the militants was precisely Yue Zhong, who took to the darkness like a fish would to water. By himself, he had pressured the many members of the militant group in such a way that they couldn't even catch their breath.

In the dark of the night, the militants had no way of seeing anything beyond 20m into the distance, whilst Yue Zhong's vision remained accurate even over distances of 2000m.

Yue Zhong's body flashed about like a specter shuttling about in the dark. In his hands was the .03 Rifle, exhibiting his firing skills that he had honed tirelessly; every shot accurately found its target and blew apart a militant's head.

After each shot, Yue Zhong would immediately change his position. A huge hail of bullets would fire randomly at his previous position, yet they wouldn't hit anything. The militants could not even see where Yue Zhong was and could only helplessly fire in the general direction. They even tried to use suppressing fire to force him out, but it was to no avail.

As he hunted down the militants one by one, Yue Zhong kept on changing his position. Watching their comrades die one after another from the bullets appearing out of nowhere, the militants lost their morale quickly. They scrambled into their 2 buses, afraid to even stick their heads out, waiting for aid to come.

Chapter 217: Reversal of the Battle!

After Yue Zhong had forced the militants to retreat into the buses, he approached the buses swiftly like a ghost; with a wave of his hand, a grenade instantly appeared and he immediately pulled out the pin, throwing it into one of the buses.

"Grenade!!!" When they saw the grenade being thrown in, the militants who were cowering inside the bus and guarding the windows and doors with their guns were frightened out of their wits.

Boom! Following that horrifying explosion, hot air waves and shrapnel covered the entire bus in a matter of seconds, killing many militants and injuring the rest.

Yue Zhong didn't even pause for a second and followed up with another grenade into the other bus. With a 'boom', the militants in the other bus met the same end.

Yue Zhong rushed up to one of the buses, brandishing his blade and finishing off those militants who didn't die from the explosion, completely wiping them out. After clearing the first bus, he went on to the second bus and killed the remaining militants there as well, before absorbing all of their rations and equipment into his storage ring. As for their firearms, such things were considered very precious in the current world, so Yue Zhong didn't even leave a single bullet or gun behind.

After clearing the militants in those 2 buses, Yue Zhong disembarked and saw Tong Xiaoyun emerging out from the darkness and walking towards him.

Yue Zhong looked at Tong Xiaoyun as he furrowed his eyebrows slightly, saying, "What are you doing here?"

"It really is him!!" Tong Xiaoyun saw Yue Zhong's features clearly and affirmed her earlier conjecture.

Tong Xiaoyun walked towards Yue Zhong and mustered up her courage to promote herself.

"Boss Yue, let me be your underling! I can wash clothes, cook and will pick up arms to fight if need be. If you want, I can sleep with you as well. Rest assured, I'm still a virgin and I haven't let any other men touch me yet."

Tong Xiaoyun saw Yue Zhong taking care of the militants entirely on his own and she had made the decision to follow him. She desperately wanted to survive in this new world and knew that the only way for her was to rely on a strong person. Zhang Mi was obviously someone she could not rely on- only Yue Zhong possessed the strength for her to feel safe. As for her body, she knew that it was not within her control; even if it was not given to Yue Zhong now, sooner or later, someone would lay their hands on her, just because she was too weak and powerless.

"Don't make a sound!" Yue Zhong suddenly pounced forward and pushed her to the ground.

Tong Xiaoyun was about to push him off almost instinctively, but she fought against it. It was just that her eyes flashed with a hint of bitterness, as she did not expect Yue Zhong to be so urgent and want to do it here.

At the very next moment, she knew that she had mistaken his intentions. Bullets flew at the spot where they had been just before, causing tiny craters to appear one after another.

The militants who had gone on to give chase to the other fleeing survivors had returned, and upon hearing the explosions of the grenades, 12 of them had immediately rushed back to provide assistance.

Yue Zhong hugged onto Tong Xiaoyun as they rolled towards a huge rock for cover, before he took out a .54 Handgun and passed it to her, ordering,

"Stay here and don't move! I will go take care of them!"

"Mm!" Tong Xiaoyun was scared witless by the sudden hail of bullets, to the point that she could not stop her body from trembling. She held on tightly to the gun that Yue Zhong had passed to her. She was just a 13-14 year old girl after all, and had not experienced any sort of life-changing event before, not to mention that she was suddenly now part of a gunfight.

Yue Zhong took a deep breath before he rushed out like a cheetah.

Those militants were shooting into the distance where they couldn't see anything, and so they sprayed out their bullets without actually hitting anything. They quickly stood up from behind their cover as they carefully edged their way towards the area where Yue Zhong and Tong Xiaoyun had been standing before.

Yue Zhong took a look at those militants when they stood up and he immediately fired off 2 shots with his .03 Rifle. Two of the militants immediately had bullet holes appear in their heads and they crumpled to the floor.

The remaining militants immediately panicked and split up to find cover, while firing random shots in the direction where Yue Zhong was.

After Yue Zhong had fired his shots, he had already made a move; hose militants were shooting at empty space, not even hitting his shadow.

Yue Zhong was like an assassin in the night as he made his way closer to the militants, and every shot of his correctly found its target, exploding each head upon contact.

It did not matter where the militants were finding cover, as they would still be taken out one by one. After another 6 militants had been killed, one of them finally could not bear to be hunted down by such a terrifying opponent anymore. Being powerless to even counter-attack, he threw his gun to the floor and shouted frantically,

"Don't kill me!! Don't kill me!! I surrender!! Don't kill me!!"

Yue Zhong had actually already aimed at that militant; when he saw that the militant had surrendered, he immediately fired a shot to the militant's side.

With a 'bang', the militant saw his comrade right beside him die with a bullet penetrating through his brain, falling lifelessly to the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, the militant's heart went cold as he hugged his head with both arms and crouched down, not daring to make a single move.

"I surrender! Don't kill me!! I surrender!!" The remaining 2 militants also threw down their weapons in fear, shouting out loudly. They could not even see the enemy yet their friends had died one by one: there was nothing more horrifying than this. They were not zombies and could still feel fear. They wanted to live on, so they chose to surrender.

Yue Zhong stood behind the 3 militants, calling out to Liu Erhei, "Liu Erheii! Go retrieve their weapons and tie them up!"

Liu Erhei had been hiding behind a huge stone the entire time without moving, as though he was a corpse. He jumped up and brought along the rope before arriving in front of Yue Zhong and immediately began to flatter loudly, "The fight is finally over! Boss Yue, you're really amazing. I am too awed by you!!"

Yue Zhong looked at the lazy Liu Erhei as he frowned and spoke sternly, "Tie them up properly! We don't have any time to waste!"

After killing 12 of the militants, the matters on hand were not yet finished. There were still over 20 militants who were still engaged in battle with 5 policemen. Yue Zhong had to hurry over and kill them as well.

"Yes!" Liu Erhei replied, as he quickly set down to tying up he militants tightly with the rope, and made use of rags to stuff into their mouths.

Yue Zhong glanced at the captives and gave a command to Liu Er Hei, "Stay here and watch them. If they dare to make a move, then shoot them down."

Hearing those words, the 3 captives shuddered and did not dare make any more unnecessary movements. The current era was not a period of human rights or peace, so killing captives was not something people could be bothered to punish you for; if someone died, it was simply too bad.

After handing over the 3 captives to Liu Erhei, Yue Zhong once again made his way swiftly like a cheetah towards the location of the gunfight.

At night, the situation was not favourable at all for gunfights. Under the cover of the darkness, the hit rate would be very low unless the fight was at a close distance. It was only under the cover of the night that Wang Jian and his team of 4 policemen could continue to hold their ground against the 20-odd militants.

In this wild barren land, the gunshots were numerous, yet the death count was low. The gunfight had gone on for quite a while; Wang Jian's side only had one person who had been careless and received a wound to his arm from a random bullet, yet no one else had received an injury. It was just that with the flow of the gunfight, Wang Jian's side was slowly running out of ammunition: without their ammunition, they would soon be powerless to resist the advance of the 20-odd militants.

Right at this moment, Yue Zhong had already routed behind the militants and he fired 2 shots all of a sudden, killing 2 of the militants immediately.

"An expert!! There is an expert who can fight in the night!!"

The leader of this team of militants saw his 2 subordinates' heads explode and his heart went cold. It must be made clear that during the gunfight with Wang Jian's team, his team had expended over 200 bullets; other than a bullet grazing the other side and 3 of his own team members suffering injuries, no one had actually died.

Two militants had suddenly met their deaths, hence it was obvious that an expert had arrived. In the dark of the night, someone who possessed such fearsome night vision and a good aim was truly a killing machine to be feared. Even with their numbers, they might not necessarily be able to win over the enemy.

"The expert out there!! My name is Xiong Zheng! This time, our Fierce Tiger Team recognizes our loss!! Please grant us your mercy and let us leave with our lives. Women, food, weapons, any requests that you have, just say it and we will definitely do our best to provide you with ample compensation." The leader of the militants called Xiong Zheng called out loudly into the dark night.

The fact that Xiong Zheng could lead this small team was not just based on his battle abilities, but also his power of observation and judgement. He had already guessed that the explosions from the grenades were caused by Yue Zhong, and the team that had gone to provide reinforcements must have either perished or been captured. He could only negotiate for terms now, otherwise the only thing that awaited them was death.

Yue Zhong called out coldly from the dark, "All of you put down your weapons and surrender to me. I can leave you with your lives, otherwise, you will all die! You have only 3 seconds to consider. After 3 seconds, I will kill all of those still holding onto their weapons."

"Yue Zhong! That was Yue Zhong's voice. Has he come to rescue us? How did he manage to force them to beg for mercy? He really does possess an incredible amount of strength." Wang Jian heard Yue Zhong's voice and his heart was shaken until he gradually calmed down. Regardless, with Yue Zhong's arrival, their lives were safe.

If Yue Zhong hadn't arrived, when Wang Jian and his team ran out of bullets, they would have been shot dead or captured by the militants.

Upon hearing those words from Yue Zhong, Xiong Zheng and his company hesitated for a while before dropping their guns. They were about to hand over their own fates like livestock.

"Who the hell are you!! Let daddy send you to your death!!" A militant with an overbearing nature shouted loudly as he raised a Knife-Type Assault Rifle and began to fire wildly towards Yue Zhong's direction.

Chapter 218: Total Surrender!

This chapter was sponsored by Melvin Smith and Bruce Chen! Many thanks once again~

Bang! The militant had not even finished a magazine of ammunition before a bullet found its way into his head. His body crumpled lifelessly to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the morale and courage of the militants took an even further dive, and everyone's faces were filled with fear. Not a single one of them wanted to die.

"The 3 seconds are up! Those who have not released their weapons yet, die!" Yue Zhong's ice-cold voice resounded throughout the area, as though it was hammering into the hearts of the militants.

With a 'bang', yet another militant who was still wielding his weapon received a bullet through his brains, falling lifelessly to the ground.

Watching another comrade die before them, the militants had faces filled with fear and they immediately threw their weapons to the ground.

Xiong Zheng saw his subordinates surrendering their weapons and he lightly sighed, before doing the same with his .79 Assault Rifle. At death's door, it was something even trained soldiers would do and choose over honour. They were not bandits after all- facing the threat of death, surrendering was a normal course of action.

Most of the militants had thrown their guns down, but there were still 2 remaining militants who lay prone on the ground, using their comrades as a cover and awaiting Yue Zhong's appearance. The moment he showed up, they would immediately make a move to kill him. However, they never expected that Yue Zhong had already grasped each and every militant's location clearly.

Seeing that the 2 crafty militants still held the notion of retaliating, Yue Zhong fired 2 shots that directly penetrated their skulls.

After the 2 militants were picked off by Yue Zhong, Xiong Zheng's backup plans were entirely quelled.

In the darkness, Yue Zhong coldly ordered, "All of you get out of the cover. Walk to the bus and squat down with your hands above your heads. Those who don't comply will be dealt with immediately."

After all, Yue Zhong was acting on his own: if he were to reveal himself and get ambushed, he would have to worry about the militants making use of the opportunity to escape one by one. At that time, it would be very troublesome to deal with them. If he could gather them together and keep an eye on them, if they did want to escape, then it would be much easier to take care of them.

One by one, the militants walked out from the cover, towards the direction Yue Zhong had indicated.

All of a sudden, one of the militants made a break for it, wanting to use the cover of the night to escape.

With a 'bang', the militant did not even make it past a few steps before receiving a bullet through his brain, becoming a corpse collapsed on the ground.

Witnessing this, the fear of Yue Zhong only grew even more in the militants' hearts as they made their way to the bus and squatted down with their hands above their heads; no one else made a further attempt to disrupt anything.

In fact, Yue Zhong was only by himself- if the militants all started running in different directions, he could at most kill 7 or 8 of them, and he wouldn't be able to give chase. However, under the power of fear, the militants could only comply with his orders and they didn't try to escape.

"Liu Erhei, come out! Tie them all up!" Yue Zhong ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes! Boss Yue!" Liu Erhei, who wasn't far away, answered immediately. He pushed the other 3 captives to join the rest in front of the bus then pulled out the ropes, proceeding to tie up the militants tightly.

Yue Zhong then came out from the dark and called out towards the policemen hiding behind the cover, "Wang Jian, the rest of you come out as well!"

Even if the 5 of them harbored any intent to make a move against Yue Zhong, he was confident of dealing with them in the dark of the night, which was why he emerged from the darkness.

Wang Jian heard Yue Zhong's voice and hesitated for a moment, exchanging glances with his colleagues. Only then did they step out from behind the cover. With the earlier display of Yue Zhong's strength, if he wanted them dead, they would have died already.

Yue Zhong took a look at the 5 policemen, before pointing to the captives and ordering, "Watch them, I will go deal with the rest!"

With that, Yue Zhong immediately retreated into the darkness. In the night, Wang Jian's team had neither any special abilities nor sufficient strength, so he would rather have them keep watch.

One of the policemen took a look at Wang Jian, before saying, "Old Wang, what do we do? Are we going to just stay here and wait for him?"

Among these 5 policemen, Wang Jian was the quickest and at the same time, he was a Level 13 Enhancer, thus the small team all treated him as the leader.

Wang Jian gritted his teeth as he said, "We shall wait!"

He understood the intentions of the other policeman- it was to take advantage of the time when Yue Zhong was busy dealing with the rest of the militants, and escape with a car on their own.

After all, Yue Zhong was temporarily on their side, but having someone else be in control of your life didn't leave a good taste in the mouth. Once Yue Zhong was back, they would be at his mercy. In the dark of the night, they had no way of overcoming him in a fight. Furthermore, from his performance in the daytime earlier, he was not a hot-blooded youth and didn't make any rash decisions.

Wang Jian was very clear on all these, yet he still chose to wait. One of the reasons was that the majority of their supplies were in some of the Dongfeng Vehicles that had driven off into the wilderness. Without ample rations, even if they could escape from here, they would soon face the problem of hunger.

Yue Zhong was running all the way and soon he saw the other group of militants pushing the captured survivors towards his direction. There was a total of 17 survivors and each one of them was carrying a huge load of supplies on their back. It seemed that the militants had ordered for the survivors to transport the supplies out of the Dongfeng Vehicles.

Those Dongfeng Vehicles were actually filled with various items, but the militants had only allowed the survivors to carry the necessary fuel and rations, abandoning the rest.

The amount of rations the vehicle fleethad was already alarmingly low, with not more than 50kg of rice left. Other than that, there were some other consumables, and due to the fact that there weren't many rations left, the 17 survivors could easily transport the items from the Dongfeng Vehicles.

Yue Zhong looked at the militants from afar and cocked his rifle.

With a 'bang', one of the militants immediately died with a bullet through his brain.

The rest of the militants were shocked and immediately split up to find cover, whilst at the same time, they returned fire in the direction that Yue Zhong was at.

The survivors made use of that momentary freedom to escape towards the darkness whilst carrying the rations. Only 4 or 5 of them chose to abandon the rations. All of the survivors were very clear on how valuable the rations were. Many would not be willing to leave the rations even as they were escaping for their lives. If they threw the rations away, should they escape from the current crisis, they would face the imminent problem of hunger right afterwards.

In the dark night, all the attacks of the militants came to nought.

Yue Zhong easily picked off the militants one by one all by himself, aided by the cover of darkness.

"I surrender!! Don't kill me!!"

"I surrender!!!"

After five or six of the militants' heads had exploded, the remaining militants could not withstand the fearsome pressure anymore and began to surrender one by one.

In the dark, Yue Zhong coldly called out, "All of you come out! Pick up the rations from the ground and walk to the bus. I have my eyes on you."

The militants came out from behind their cover, carrying the 4 bags of rations that had been thrown to the ground by the survivors. They did not know how many guns were aimed at them currently and this fear filled their hearts.

Yue Zhong absorbed all the guns that the militants had put down into his Storage Ring and continued observing from the dark.

After killing the 2 militants who had tried to escape, the rest of the militants resigned to their fate and they fearfully transported the rations to the bus.

By this time, there were already many survivors gathered near the bus; upon seeing that the militants had been rounded up and captured, many had returned when the gunfight had come to an end. Compared to the outside world, it was much safer here.

"Too amazing!! He's really too terrifying! Too strong!"

Seeing that Yue Zhong had chased the militants from the dark as though he was rounding up ducks, the survivors were all shocked beyond belief. As they thought about how they had tried to extort his supplies under Huang Weian's incitement earlier in the day, they now felt deep regret. If Yue Zhong had blew his top, they might have already died by then.

"He's too powerful!!! If only he was my man!!" Wang Ni stood amongst the survivors, watching Yue Zhong come out from the dark as her eyes filled with a complex gaze.

The moment the militants had arrived in front of the bus, they were tied up by Liu Erhei and pushed to one side as he maintained his vigilance.

Yue Zhong saw that the situation was calming down and called out loudly, "Iron Bones! Bring them over! Tong Xiaoyun, you come out too!"

Not long after, under the protection of White Bones, Zhuo Yatong and the rest, as well as Tong Xiaoyun, gathered in front of the bus.

"Did he subdue all these men by himself? It's too amazing!!"

Zhuo Yatong, Tong Xiaoyun, Gu Manzi and Yun Caiwei all looked at the kneeling militants who had been tied up, and their eyes flashed with a hint of shock and pride. They did not expect Yue Zhong to be that strong, to the point of turning the tide of the battle just with his efforts alone, and even capturing 30-odd militants.

[TN: What about poor Liu Erhei who tied them up?]

[Divinecelestialbeinglol: pfft insignificant side character]

The women amongst the pitiful survivors all looked at Zhuo Yatong and the other three women with jealousy and envy. In the current world, having someone strong and decent to rely on was a huge blessing.

"It's great that this strong person is my man! I must have him fully in my grasp." Gu Manzi gazed at Yue Zhong with joy and pride in her eyes and heart. She could feel the countless jealous gazes from the other women amongst the survivors.

Tong Xiaoyun had similar thoughts as her feelings soared when she looked at Yue Zhong.

"I absolutely cannot give up on this person. No matter what, I need to stay by his side."

Chapter 219: Choosing sides!

At this moment, what Gu Manzi and Tong Xiaoyun were feeling for Yue Zhong could not be considered as love. They wanted to possess him, purely for the sake of living a better life in this cruel, post-apocalyptic world. Love was considered a luxury that only the strong possessed the right to enjoy. The weak could only focus on surviving, much less talk about love.

The fact that Yue Zhong could win Zhuo Yatong's heart was purely by chance. As for the relationship between him and the other 2 girls, there was no prior interaction- to suddenly develop feelings for each other would be considered a fantasy.

Under the eyes of the various people present, Yue Zhong walked up directly to Xiong Zheng, holding a .54 Handgun to his head as he coldly said,

"Who are you people? I only want the truth, if you say any lies, I will instantly blow apart your head!"

Seeing how aggressive Yue Zhong was, the survivors looked at one another and their fear towards him in their hearts increased by yet another notch. They knew that he was heavy-handed and could kill without blinking, but this sort of fierceness really made them feel cold in their hearts.

"Don't shoot!! I'll say!! I'll say whatever you want to know, as long as I know, I will tell you!!"

Xiong Zheng broke out in cold sweat the moment he felt the gun pointing at his head. From the very start, he hadn't been some heroic warrior who did not fear death: being threatened by Yue Zhong thus caused him to panic.

One of the militants suddenly called out loudly. "Xiong Zheng!! Our boss has not neglected you, yet you still dare to betray him!! Don't tell me you're not afraid that he will kill you and your woman!!"

Yue Zhong did not even let him say another word before changing his aim towards that militant's head and pulling the trigger.

With a 'bang', the militant's head exploded. Bits and pieces of his skull, brain and blood splattered everywhere, causing the timid survivors to let out screams of horror.

Wang Jian and the other policemen frowned. They could not bring themselves to totally agree with Yue Zhong's methods as they had a strong sense of justice. However, while they were righteous, they were not pedantic or overscrupulous. Prior to the apocalypse, they had already known the dirty side of society.

There were even instances where as long as their threshold was not crossed, they would obey orders to carry out certain orders that might go against their moral code. If they had been too concerned with minor things and proceeded to lodge complaints, they might already have lost their rice bowls.

(TN: Basically, even if a mission crosses their bottom line, they still had to earn their keep)

Seeing the death of that militant who had suddenly spoken out, the rest of the militants became fearful and did not make any further sounds.

Yue Zhong coldly let his gaze linger around the militants, saying,

"Those who still want to be loyal to their benefactor, just come out now. I will give you a chance and send you on your way to be loyal to him."

All the militants immediately shrank back in silence.

Yue Zhong then moved his gun back to Xiong Zheng's head, saying coldly,

"You can speak now! Tell me all that you know!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll speak!! I'll Speak!!" Xiong Zheng was also thoroughly frightened by Yue Zhong's killing without hesitation. He spoke like a jar of spilled beans, giving out all the information on the militants that he knew.

Xiong Zheng and the rest were from a gang called the Clear Wind Camp. After the apocalypse had occurred, there were simply too many zombies and also evolved zombies. The evolved zombies didn't fear bullets and were extremely difficult to deal with as well. Mutant beasts were also a huge problem, ferocious beyond belief and aggressive in nature. Compared to zombies and mutant beasts, normal humans were the weakest.

The Clear Wind Camp gang members were constantly on the lookout for small villages and after clearing the zombies, they would search for supplies. On the other hand, they would also make their move against other human survivors, absorbing the human survivors into their ranks and also taking possession of their food and other supplies.

The Clear Wind Camp's boss was called Lie Tianyang! He was an incredibly strong evolver. Under his leadership, the gang had been constantly absorbing various smaller groups and grew in number to about over 2600 people, with over 400 able-bodied fighters.

After the apocalypse, food sources had become scarce. Most of the seeds sown before Z-day had been unable to germinate; under these conditions, even though the gang had rounded up many survivors from different villages, they had barely managed to gather a small amount of food. In order to alleviate the situation, Lie Tianyang had actually ordered the massacre of some of the human survivors to be used as food to solve the food shortage problem.

Upon listening to Xiong Zheng's words, Wang Jian and the other survivors turned pale: if Yue Zhong had not acted against these militants, they would have been caught and dragged to the Clear Wind Camp to become food for their own species.

There was a total of over 100 survivors now- it used to be over 200, but some had escaped. By now, most of them had already witnessed the cruelty of the apocalypse world, with the frequent rapes, murders, robbery and other acts of debauchery. However, the very thought of cannibalism was something that definitely went way past the threshold of the many people present, and it was something they had yet to come across.

Yue Zhong's expression turned livid as he coldly asked Xiong Zheng, "Amongst you people, who has consumed human flesh?"

Xiong Zheng hesitated for a while, as he had already understood the underlying meaning of Yue Zhong's words. He did not want to betray his comrades who had gone through many battles with him.

Yue Zhong cocked the gun at Xiong Zheng's head as his killing intent rose, and he shouted,

"Say it! If you don't, I will still interrogate the others one by one!"

Xiong Zheng shuddered as he hastily pointed out a few of the militants.

"Him! Him! …….and him! These people have all consumed human flesh before!"

"Xiong Zheng! F* your mother!"

"Xiong Zheng! You deserve death, you piece of trash!!"

Those who were pointed out by Xiong Zheng immediately turned pale as they loudly cursed at him.

Yue Zhong glanced at those militants before ordering the 5 policemen,

"Bring them away! Question them separately! Wang Jian, they are under your control now! Whatever you do, make sure you get the information quickly and inform me!"

"Understood!" Wang Jian was swept along with Yue Zhong's fury and impulse as he answered resolutely, before dragging the militants away and beginning to interrogate them.

Without any limitation to the interrogation techniques, the 5 policemen quickly got the information they wanted and proved that everything Xiong Zheng had said was true.

The militants were quickly brought back and those who were confirmed to have consumed human flesh had expressions the colour of ash, whilst those who did not were similarly petrified, unsure of how Yue Zhong would deal with them.

Yue Zhong separated the militants into 2 camps, one consisting of those who had committed cannibalism and the other camp consisting of those who had not. He handed a Replica Tang Sword to Xiong Zheng, then pointed to one of the militants who had eaten human flesh and said,

"I need subordinates! Cut off his head, and from then on you will be under me! If you can't, then I will deem you to still be on his side!"

"What a vicious method! He is forcing us to choose sides!!"

Xiong Zheng received the Replica Tang Sword and his body shuddered involuntarily; he was aware of Yue Zhong's intentions to make use of him. If he could kill his old comrades, it meant that he was willing to cut off ties with the Clear Wind Camp gang, whereas if he couldn't, he was choosing death together with his comrades.

He gripped the Replica Tang Sword in his hands tightly and a ruthlessness arose in his heart, as he walked over to his comrade of days past. Xiong Zheng slashed down ferociously and decapitated his ex-comrade. Fresh blood sprayed out and dyed his entire body red, giving him the appearance of an evil spirit.

Xiong Zheng had killed his own comrade. He put the Replica Tang Sword to one side, before kneeling down in front of Yue Zhong and loudly proclaiming his allegiance:

"Xiong Zheng is willing to swear fealty to Your Lordship and will fight for you. Lord, please accept this subordinate!"

Yue Zhong looked at Xiong Zheng approvingly:

"Very good! From now on, you are the captain of my 2nd Team! Get up!"

Xiong Zheng stood up and respectfully returned the Replica Tang Sword in his hands to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong immediately gave a .81 Rifle and 2 grenades to Xiong Zheng. At such a close distance, Yue Zhong could take care of him easily, so he wasn't worried about Xiong Zheng revolting.

Yue Zhong once again handed the Replica Tang Sword to another militant who had not touched human flesh, saying coldly,

"It's your turn! Do you want to kill him or die with him?"

The militant's heart went cold and in the end, he accepted the Replica Tang Sword. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and swung it down, decapitating his former comrade, then knelt down in front of Yue Zhong to swear fealty.

In a cycle like this, the militants began defecting to Yue Zhong one by one. With one fell swoop, Yue Zhong obtained the submission of 15 militants, and the price of the exchange was the 18 heads of the other militants rolling on the floor.

Watching the slaughter of the militants, many of the survivors could not take it and walked back to the buses. Some had even wet themselves upon witnessing the scene, while others immediately vomited. Wang Jian and his team were also shocked, not knowing how to react.

After those militants had submitted to Yue Zhong, he returned their guns to them and split them up into 3 teams. Each team had 5 members and the captains of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Teams were Liu Erhei, Xiong Zheng and another ex-militant named Zhang Niujiang respectively.

Originally, the 15 team members would have only formed a single team, but for further convenience and easier micromanagement, Yue Zhong had split them up the way he did.

After settling the issue of the teams, Yue Zhong started obtaining detailed information about Clear Wind Camp's situation, including the amount of fighters, firepower and intelligence they had.

With the current strength of Clear Wind Camp and the threat they posed, if it were in Qing Yuan County, Yue Zhong would simply pull out one of his main teams to easily crush them. However, he was on his own right now and could not afford to be careless.

Yue Zhong had just finished the meeting when Wang Jian hurriedly ran up to him and asked,

"Yue Zhong! No matter how frugal we are, our current supplies for the vehicle fleet can only last for the next 3 days at most. Are you able to think of a solution?"

Initially, the rations could have lasted another 10 days or so, but amidst the disarray of the fleet earlier, most of the rations had been taken away by the survivors who had fled. Subsequently, regardless of how frugal Wang Jian was, the amount left could only last for 3 days.

Chapter 220: Surprise Attack on Clear Wind Camp!

Yue Zhong glanced at Wang Jian, raising an eyebrow as he said lightly,

"That's your problem, what do you need me for? Didn't you already ask us to leave the fleet? We will be on our way tomorrow morning, as for this matter, you'd better sort it out on your own."

Hearing Yue Zhong's words, Wang Jian felt incredibly embarrassed as he had asked Yue Zhong to leave not even 10 hours ago. He was now regretting his choice to follow Huang Weian's advice and try to force Yue Zhong to hand over his supplies.

When Huang Weian had wanted to use the masses to try and oppress Yue Zhong, Wang Jian had silently consented to it. He had also hoped to obtain the rations from Yue Zhong to distribute equally among the survivors. The reason was purely that the amount of rations that the vehicle fleet had was too little- without enough food, the whole fleet would eventually collapse.

"Yue Zhong, today's matters were my fault! If you are still offended, you may shoot me and I still won't blame you. But those 100 survivors are innocent! Out here, only you have the ability to lead them to survival.

Take it that I'm begging you, please help them!! As long as you are willing to lead them, you are the leader of this fleet! My team and I will listen to all your commands. As long as you don't make us do anything that crosses our bottom line, we will be willing to do anything!" Wang Jian gritted his teeth as he said loudly.

After this night's gunfight, the policemen had very little ammunition left. Wang Jian himself was a Level 13 Enhancer and his strength was decent, but the current situation was not like the initial stages of the apocalypse anymore. Currently, even Level 13 Enhancers would find it hard to protect themselves; meeting any Type 2 evolved zombies would mean certain death. The pressure on Wang Jian to ensure the survival of over one hundred people was massive.

Wang Jian had led this fleet of survivors for quite some time, and had slowly begun to feel the difficulties of being an upright and moral leader. He had to bear the burden of searching for food, mediating on any conflicts that arose, distributing the food and many other tasks, making him feel quite suffocated. Yue Zhong looked ruthless and vicious, yet he did not mindlessly slaughter the innocent, nor was he without empathy. It was because of this that Wang Jian wanted to rely on Yue Zhong, and thus pass the burden of 100 survivors onto him.

Yue Zhong glanced at Wang Jian then asked in a deep voice,

"Listen to me? If Huang Weian comes back, who will you listen to, him or me?"

Wang Jian hesitated a moment, before gritting his teeth and saying, "As long as you don't make us do immoral or despicable things, we'll listen to you."

Yue Zhong continued to pressure him.

"If we get to SY County, will you listen to the government's orders or mine?!"

It was rare to find that people like Wang Jian and his team could preserve their morality and righteousness in times of cruelty like this. Yue Zhong did want to keep and make use of people like them, who had a sense of justice and adhered to their own principles.

However, even though the apocalypse had finished its 3rd month, the influence of the government had not yet diminished, and in many people's hearts, the government was the proper entity to lead and govern. Especially for those who worked in civil posts, such as Wang Jian and his team, to abolish the influence the government had left in their hearts would be much harder than imagined. Otherwise, they would not have let Huang Weian have his way and enjoy the high life, nor would he have been of any use anyway.

His original intentions were to follow SY County Government's orders, yet right now, he also wanted to preserve the lives of the 100 people in the survivor fleet.

Yue Zhong looked at the hesitating Wang Jian and decided not to push him any further.

"Forget it! I just want you to promise me something. If SY County ever wants you to do something detrimental to my people, please decline. At the same time, you will have to bring your colleagues and leave my forces. This should be considered doable, right?"

Wang Jian heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes!"

Yue Zhong then continued, saying deeply,

"Fine! Go prepare yourself, we'll attack Clear Wind Camp shortly! Wrest it away from them!"

Xiong Zheng could not help but blurt out,

"Boss Yue! There are over 300 people standing guard at Clear Wind Camp, are we really going to attack tonight?"

This time, Clear Wind Camp had dispatched about 60 people on this seize-and-kill mission. There were also 300 guards at Clear Wind Camp. Yue Zhong's side only had about 20 people including the 5 policemen. To Xiong Zheng, wanting to get rid of 300 people with only this much strength was something too ambitious to accomplish.

Yue Zhong replied deeply,

"Yes! Go make preparations! We shall obtain Clear Wind Camp tonight!"

The darkness of the night was a great aid to those who possessed the Dark Knight Profession, like Yue Zhong. In the dark, he possessed eyesight far better than most; others were usually impeded by the darkness and could only exhibit 20% of their battle prowess at most. If Yue Zhong had to attack 300 armed people during the day, he wouldn't have a chance of victory in the slightest. However, at night, coupled with White Bones' aid, he had around 70% confidence in conducting a sneak attack and overcoming the 300 militants there.

Under the strong influence and insistence of Yue Zhong, the militants he had just absorbed into his ranks began making their preparations. Yue Zhong, on the other hand, did not request for the policemen to assist in the operation: instead, they were to stay behind and protect the survivors.

Under the cover of the night, Yue Zhong boarded a bus very quickly with the 15 ex-militants, Liu Erhei, the 4 ladies and White Bones as well. The bus headed towards Clear Wind Camp.

Although Wang Jian had agreed to obey him, Yue Zhong could not trust Wang Jian entirely, therefore he did not leave Zhuo Yatong and his team with the rest of the survivors. After all, the human heart was unfathomable- the other survivors might capture the girls to use as bargaining chips against him.

Not long after, the bus slowed down. Yue Zhong followed behind Xiong Zheng as they approached Clear Wind Camp with the utmost caution.

Soon, they came to a clearing which was about 50m away from the camp itself.

Clear Wind Camp was within a small town. Lie Tianyang might not be someone with values, but it was with no doubt that he was strong. After Z-Day, he had made use of his own strength to carve out a group for himself, as he stylized himself as Big Boss and occupied this small town. In the course of events, he had lost over 300 subordinates to the zombies.

After gaining control over the small town, he started hunting for survivors everywhere, negotiating his way about, clearing the surrounding towns and absorbing their powers. This was how Clear Wind Camp had its current strength.

After Yue Zhong and his team had gotten into the vicinity of the camp, they observed the situation carefully. They noticed that there was a timber fence surrounding the entire camp, with only a front and back door for entry and exit.

At the 2 doors, there were 4 militants on guard. At the same time, near the camp itself, there were two 8m tall towers erected that were equipped with machine guns.

Atop the towers, there was a team of 2 militants in each tower, providing surveillance on the ground below. Right beside the camp gates, there was a small camp of 40 militants; if there was a disturbance near the gates, they would be able to swiftly provide reinforcements.

After breaking past the perimeter, you would directly reach the normal survivors' living area. Moving further inwards to the centre, you would then reach a small district where the wealthy and powerful stayed. That was where Lie Tianyang was currently staying. Surrounding his residence were the various living quarters of his most loyal soldiers, otherwise also known as the strongest of Clear Wind Camp, the Green Wolves Mount Team.

The warriors of the Green Wolves Mount accompanied Lie Tianyang on his crusades to hunt, kill and pillage. They received the best treatment in the camp, enjoyed the best women, drank the best alcohol and even feasted on the best food. They were loyal to a fault and extremely overbearing with their strength.

Xiong Zheng and the other militants had also once belonged to these elites; however, when forced to make a choice between loyalty to Lie Tianyang and their own lives, they had all chosen their own lives in the end.

Yue Zhong glanced at the 8 militants guarding the gates before ordering,

"Bring me over! I will take care of them in an instant!"

"You girls wait here!" Yue Zhong told Zhuo Yatong and the rest. Attacking the camp was going to require all of his concentration and effort, so he could not afford to make White Bones stay outside just to protect them.

Xiong Zheng and the two other Team Leaders looked at Yue Zhong, before steeling their nerves and bringing Yue Zhong towards the gates.

The few militants looked at Xiong Zheng curiously as they asked,

"Xiong Zheng, what happened? How come it's only the few of you, where are the rest?"

"We were ambushed! We only managed to catch this captive, the rest of our brothers are all dead. I want to inform our Big Boss quickly. Hurry up and open the gate!!" Xiong Zheng shouted as he stood before the gate.

The other ex-militants had expressions of shock and were feeling tense. If the militants inside those towers decided to crazily open fire, they would not be able to survive.

Hearing Xiong Zheng's words, those surveillance guards confirmed Xiong Zheng's identity before giving the go-ahead for them to enter.

The moment Yue Zhong entered the camp, his eyes lit up as he surveyed his surroundings, as he had discovered 2 sentries who were very well hidden.

At the next moment, he activated his Art of Fear Skill. A hugely oppressive and menacing aura was emitted from him, and it thoroughly encompassed the whole area containing the sentries and watchmen atop the towers.

Under that huge pressure, all the militants immediately fainted.

At almost the same instant, White Bones had already shot out its sharp bone spears, piercing directly into the hidden sentries' skulls.

In the space of a moment without making any sound, Yue Zhong had seized the gates of Clear Wind Camp. And not even a single soul had yet to discover what had happened.

White Bones made use of its Bone Spear, leaping onto the towers and immediately killing all the militants up there, after which it brought down the 2 Heavy Machine Guns.

Yue Zhong brought out a bottle of mineral water, with which he doused his subordinates who had also fainted under the heavy pressure, waking them up.

"It's really been dealt with!!" Xiong Zheng exclaimed the moment he woke up. He looked around and his heart filled with shock.

Yue Zhong pointed to the 2 Heavy Machine Guns as he gave an order to Liu Erhei:

"Liu Erhei, you take your men and stand guard here. Other than us, whoever passes by here, kill them with these guns!"

Liu Erhei replied deeply, "Yes! Boss! I will definitely not let you down!"

"The rest of you, follow me!"

Yue Zhong led the way, bringing White Bones and the other 10 militants with him as they rushed towards the army camp.

In actual fact, the army camp was only a single-storey building, guarded by 2 militants holding .81 Rifles who were constantly yawning. They thought that it was just a formality, because in their hearts, as long there was no trouble caused at the gates, they would be safe here.

All of a sudden, 2 Bone Spears shot out from White Bones' right hand, piercing through the 2 militants' heads and killing them before they even had a chance to let out a sound.

As they followed behind, Xiong Zheng and the other ex-militants had looks of amazement and joy on their faces. The ability of White Bones was an extremely efficient tool in carrying out assassinations in the night.

After taking care of those 2 militants, Yue Zhong brought his men as they swiftly made their way through each room, breaking open the locks and killing the militants in their beds, ending their lives before they even woke up.

Some of the militants had faster reactions than the rest and wanted to counter-attack, but before they could make a move, their heads would have already been penetrated by White Bones' bone spears.

When it came to killing their old comrades, the methods of the traitors were the most vicious and cruel. This was because they had no other options, and could only follow their new leader and slaughter onwards. Xiong Zheng and the group of ex-militants did not have a shred of mercy towards their old comrades, and every swing of their blades saw blood as they ruthlessly slaughtered all the militants.

Under the command of Yue Zhong, Xiong Zheng and the rest quickly subdued the entire building without triggering any mass alarm.

"Continue our advance!" After having dealt with the army camp, Yue Zhong commanded the rest to move on.

Xiong Zheng and the rest were also feeling the battle lust, and their bodies were in excited states. They followed closely behind Yue Zhong, moving towards the depths of Clear Wind Camp.

There were also some guards patrolling the living quarters of the normal survivors, yet under the lead of Xiong Zheng and his team, who knew the place inside out, those poor guards never even saw what had hit them as they were mercilessly taken out by Yue Zhong and White Bones.

With the guidance of the ex-militants, Yue Zhong managed to cross into the inner living quarters, killing all the way without causing too much of a disturbance.

In contrast to the outer regions, the inner zone was heavily guarded with well-hidden sentries all over the place, as well as 5 teams of militants who constantly patrolled. Wanting to simply confront them the way Yue Zhong had done previously was definitely impossible.

Yue Zhong carefully observed the situation before sighing deeply. Together with his team, he took a detour around the compound, mounting a surprise attack on the other side of the camp. Yue Zhong dealt with the militants at the gate, and also killed all of the militants sleeping within the army camp building.

He didn't take any captives since his military strength was insufficient in the first place, not to mention sparing precious manpower to guard captives.
