Yue Zhong's aim was extremely accurate, and his concentrated line of fire hit the Yellow Jade Condors consistently, brass shell casings ejecting with each clack of the guns bolt. Unfortunately the body of the Yellow Jade Condor and its feathers were incredibly sturdy, and the bullets from the machine gun could only hit and ricochet off of their Evolved bodies.

The 3 Yellow Jade Condors were of course angered by the incessant attacks of Yue Zhong, and they immediately flapped their wings brewing up a dust cloud before shooting towards Yue Zhong with power reminiscent of a speeding arrow!

The dual-mounted 14.5mm machine guns had also adjusted aim and were currently spitting a line of fire at the Mutant Birds. Countless bullets which could cause even the armor of a tank to be pierced landed on 2 of the Yellow Jade Condors' bodies violently. The repeated bullets caused small puffs of blood and feather matter to expel from the numerous impact zones. Feathers scattered, and blood sprayed from their wounds enraging the Yellow Jade Condors further.

Of course, one mustn't forget that these Yellow Jade Condors were not Level 46 Mutant Beasts for nothing! The bullets that could easily cause an average person's body to have 2 large and rather leaky holes only caused a superficial wound and dribbles of blood without actually penetrating their skin layer.

Nonetheless, it was enough to attract the wrath of the Yellow Jade Condors! One of the birds swung out it's wing in front and steadily advanced while blocking the bullets of the dual mounted 14.5mm machine guns, causing a large amount of fresh blood to spurt out, before it used its incredibly sharp talons to grab the vehicle and near instantly pulverize it. With its wicked sharp hook-like talons, it pierced the machine gun-mounted vehicle, a "Screeeeench!" sound echoing out before spreading its wings to fly.

These Mutant Birds possessed immense strength, and usually hunted Mutant Water Snakes, as well as Black Scaled Boars while flying. One could imagine the necessary strength needed to haul away such huge beasts for food. Grabbing up such a vehicle was decidedly not a tough feat for them.

Just as the Yellow Jade Condor flapped mightily in an attempt to soar up into the sky, Yue Zhong who had already activated his Bone Encompassing Armor shot out a Bone Spear from his back and propelled himself up 8 or so feet becoming even with its head. Reaching the target zone, he pulled out his Stinger and quick fired 6 shots point blank at its head.

The 6 oscillating Stinger Bullets flew forth and penetrated the skull of the Yellow Jade Condor as expected. Unexpected was the spectacular explosion of the back of its skull, pulpy brain and Shiney bone bits flashing in the sun as warm meaty chunks sprayed forth upon destroying it. The Condor immediately fell from the sky, and landed with a heavy "Whump!" atop the gun-mounted vehicle.

Although the Yellow Jade Condor had a wingspan of over 40m, its body weight was only about 600jin and wasn't even a ton, therefore it did not cause that much stress on impact with the armored exterior of the vehicle.

The warriors inside the vehicle also managed to escape safely due to quick movement upon seeing Yue Zhong leap high.

Yue Zhong had just disposed of the first Yellow Jade Condor when one of its comrades immediately shot towards him like a gale of wind, its exceedingly sharp talons opened and ready to grab him.

The speed of the attack from the Yellow Jade Bird was truly quite swift! It was to the point where Yue Zhong could not evade in time, and had no choice but to chop down with his Dark Magic Blade at the talons.

In the next instant Yue Zhong was sent flying by the immeasurable strength from the attack, like a discus that was thrown violently a few metres. These airborne Mutant Beasts may not be able to compare with the land Beasts in terms of defence, but their speed and strength was commonly found to be many times than that of their land counterparts.

It was precisely because the air Mutant Beasts attack speed was so fast, that Yue Zhong had been captured by the Green Eagle before he could even react, let alone resist. Speed was the advantage that these airborne Mutant Beasts had, and was coincidentally one of the perfect counters to Yue Zhong, who prioritized the enhancement of his Agility attribute.

Yue Zhong was sent flying back a few tens of metres once more, a gust of wind blowing him as one of the other Condors targeted him and immediately flicked its wings. The end result was an attack attempt towards Yue Zhong with its claws viciously spread!

Just as the Condor was about to slash Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong finished hoisting a PF98 120mm Anti Tank Missile Launcher, aimed at the Condor and pulled the trigger! A rocket shot out and exploded on the body of the Yellow Jade Condor with huge effect! With a 'hong!' the 40m Mutant Bird immediately burst into myriad different sized pieces under that explosion, the chunks flying every which way!

While the defences of the Yellow Jade Condor was shockingly high it could not compare to a Type 2 Mutant Beast, and naturally would not be able to resist the firepower from an anti-tank missile.

As these high level Mutant Beasts possessed some sort of intelligence, and seeing that its 2 comrades had been killed by Yue Zhong's forces, the remaining Yellow Jade Condor let out an anguished shriek, before flying off swiftly into the horizon.

The Yellow Jade Condor that had its head exploded by Yue Zhong's Stinger dropped another Level 3 Skill Book for Sniper Specialization, and 300 survival credits; this time Yue Zhong did not stand on ceremony and proceeded to learn the Sniper Specialization skill.

The Sniper Specialization Skill obviously complemented Yue Zhong's Night Enhancement ability. It allowed him to become a hunter in the night, not just seeing in the dark but with superior aiming skills allowing him to provide more pressure for his future enemies with his varied methods.

The 2 Yellow Jade Condor corpses also gave 2 blood essences and 2 nuclei, adding up to a pretty bountiful drop.

After the episode with the 3 Yellow Jade Condors, there were no further provocations or attacks from the Mutant Beasts for the rest of their journey.

Upon returning to Ning Guang County, Yue Zhong immediately proceeded to consume the blood essences obtained from the Black Scaled Boars and Yellow Jade Condors.

"Congratulations on gaining 4 points of enhancement in Vitality!"

"Congratulations on gaining 2 points of enhancement in Vitality!"

"Congratulations on gaining 1 point of enhancement in Vitality!"

After swallowing the 3rd blood nuclei of the Black Scaled Boars, there were no further benefits.

"Congratulations on gaining 1 point of enhancement in Vitality!"

After consuming the Yellow Jade Condor's blood essence, it was the same result. He had consumed too many blood essences from the Mutant Beasts, and low levels or ranks of Mutant Beasts could not help his enhancement, only a Type 2 and above rank Mutant Beast might be of use.

The remaining blood essences were kept aside by Yue Zhong, as he intended to distribute them to Ji Qing Wu, Zhuo Yatong, Tong Xiaoyun, Lu Wen, and Guo Yu, letting them gain more enhancements to their Vitality.

Vitality was essential in the defence against possible infections and poison as well as their regeneration capability. It allowed the person to be more resilient to sickness and injuries, and provided faster recovery, hence it was an important attribute. However, in the current world where danger was omnipresent, most people opted to enhance their Strength, Agility, Stamina and Spirit, the 4 main combat attributes, few people would choose to spend their precious enhancement points on Vitality.

Yue Zhong mobilized his troops for a few more trips back and forth to the armory, bringing everything back, and while they faced the occasional ambush from low level Mutant Beasts, there were no further attacks from any strong ones. This gave the troops a sense of security and there was even a detail that was sent to specially collect the Mutant Beasts meat back to Ning Guang County.

The total amount of meat from the 11 Black Scaled Boars amounted to a few hundred tonnes, combined with the Mutant Water Snakes and Type 2 Mutant Water Snake that Yue Zhong had killed earlier which was also a few hundred tonnes, Ning Guang County and Qing Yuan County had no food shortages in the short future. Yue Zhong also readjusted his policies. The meat from the Black Scaled Boar went to the frontline troops. The meat from the Mutant Water Snakes went to factory works. And the Type 2 Mutant Water Snake and Mutant Black Scaled Boar meat went to the higher ranking officials from Yue Zhong's government.

At the same time, Yue Zhong started a military academy and prep school in Ning Guang County. He took the principal posts of the military academy, while the lecturers were those officers under him, and when they were not on active duty, they could give lectures on their battle experience and impart knowledge of modern weaponry.

The school on the other hand, was established and took in all the children, thus allowing them to continue with their interrupted education. Without the constant imparting of fundamental knowledge and communication skills, The Establishment would have no future. However, the difference of the school with the schools prior to the apocalypse was that, in addition to their culture studies and learning, they had to undergo basic military education as well as some physical training. Due to the fact that the school promised the attending students enough good food and even meat, most survivors opted to send their kids to school. Inside the school, regardless of background, be it a farmer's kid, children of former white collared workers, even the precious children of government officials, they all played and learnt together, without any form of segregation.

Within Ning Guang County, the majority of the survivors took up tailoring as a profession, making use of the Mutant Beasts' hide to sew armor for the soldiers. Although the hide was tough, human machinery had ways of punching holes into them and chainsaws could be used to cut the Evolved skin. While experienced designers came up with armor ideas, and the pieces were sewn together by the workers tirelessly, making enough armor for a huge number of soldiers was only a matter of time.

Another group of survivors were rounded up, and dug up trenches all around Ning Guang County. As well as building up some fortifications, mainly to defend against zombies and mutant beasts, they also provided a means of attack against human enemies. The workers who did their work diligently could also enjoy meat from Mutant Beasts, therefore most of the survivors who chose to do the manual labor, did so quite willingly.

Yue Zhong even brought along Chen Jianfeng, the previous mayor of Long Hai Survivor Base over to Ning Guang County to be in charge of establishing a functioning government. During the extended period of Yue Zhong's absence, Chen Jianfeng had not done anything unusual, and instead he had wholeheartedly worked side by side with Chi Yang providing loads of valuable insight into the county's successful operation. Therefore, after conquering Ning Guang County, Yue Zhong decided to switch him over, and let him handle the affairs here. While Chen Jianfeng did bring along with him his bad habits and behaviour from when he was a politician, he did possess the ability and if it wasn't for his help, Qing Yuan County would have been engulfed in pandemonium by Lei Cheng.

TN: Chen Jianfeng – Chen Yao's uncle, ex-leader of Long Hai who gave command to Lei Cheng (bad guy deserter of Long Hai)

Not long after Chen Jianfeng's arrival in Ning Guang County, he managed to establish a form of law system, working together with different department heads to ensure the smooth governance of Ning Guang County. The entire County also slowly regained its previous security and day-to-day bustle.

On top of all this, the warriors under Yue Zhong also started expanding out and began Mop Up work in the villages of the near surroundings. Those zombie-filled villages were slowly cleared out by Yue Zhong's troops, turning up huge resources as well as a large number of survivors who were then sent to join Yue Zhong's establishments. Under the constant training and battle, the other battalions consistently forged themselves, gaining morale and fighting spirit.

Little Greenie had also finished its prior Evolution, as it returned to Yue Zhong's side, it immediately gobbled up the nuclei from the Type 2 Mutant Black Scaled Boar, Type 2 Mutant Water Snake and the rest of the Mutant Black Scaled Boars, before it once again entered into a hibernative state, entering the upgrade phase towards its next evolution.

TN: What a glutton. The author also conveniently kept Greenie in the sidelines.

"Commander Yue, I need to purchase 3000 tonnes of rations! Whatever you need, please state your demands!"

During Ning Guang County's frequent meetings, Lǚ níng had tried to find and negotiate with Yue Zhong, and it was her fourth attempt currently.

In this entire month, Yue Zhong had kept Lǚ níng waiting by the wayside, while engaging in various activities for the establishment ignoring all 3 previous attempts from Lǚ níng.

This time, Yue Zhong looked at Lǚ níng and said warmly: "I want to take a look at SY County's survivor base, why don't you come with me?"

Now that Qing Yuan and Ning Guang County were both slowly chugging along on the right track and were developing well, Yue Zhong wanted to take the initiative to observe SY County's Survivor Base.

With regards to the SY County Survivor Base, Yue Zhong only had an inkling of its in's and out's based on his subordinates. After the apocalypse, the ones with the strongest survival rates were those who had received military training, and SY County was a place that had over 7,000,000 people in the past! It even once commanded a regiment.

During the initial stages of the onset of the apocalypse, the army was conducting an exercise between two of its elite regiments. While they lost over half of their warriors who became zombies, as well as numerous ranked officers who turned and as a result, the loss of command, the remaining soldiers managed to rally under the command of the next highest ranked officer. In response they managed to fend off their ex-comrades-turned-zombies. As they continually fought them off over time they grew in strength and became a recognizable power in the region.

When the government of SY County had requested aid, this huge power launched their assault on SY County, killing a large number of zombies inside, and in an entire month's worth of fighting, they managed to clear 700,000 zombies and regained control over SY County. With SY County as the base, the army then went around clearing the villages and absorbing survivors.

It was precisely due to the participation of this strong army, that allowed SY County to protect its survivors all this time, providing a form of haven for over 150,000 people.

While the granary within SY County should have had more than sufficient rations, prior to the apocalypse the overseer of the granary had engaged in black market dealings and sold off a large amount of rations. He had hoped to buy back the rations at a lower price when the opportunity was right, which resulted in a large space of the granary being empty. The remaining small store in the granary was broken into by large herds of Mutant Rats which ate almost any available grain, thereby throwing SY County into a food shortage issue.

If the overseer had not sold such a huge amount of food, SY County would not be facing such a difficult situation, after all SY County used to be a huge import and export powerhouse. If it was known that such a reputable food county was facing its own food problems, it would truly be ironic.

Facing Yue Zhong's words, Lǚ Níng could not reject his proposal, and the next morning, surrounded by his escorts, Yue Zhong made his way towards SY County together with Lǚ Níng.

Under Lǚ Níng's guidance, Yue Zhong's entourage managed to enter SY County without that many problems.

SY County openly prided itself as the successful conqueror of Shaoyang County. Truthfully, it had only begun to clear the Downtown area, and some minor clearing of some of the nearby zombie-filled villages.

A huge number of survivors were gathered under SY County's banner, and within a few areas inside the city there was a natural water channel that acted as a barrier. The survivors within SY County Base only had to ask for the support of a few soldiers to guard the channels, and it could cause the zombies from the north to have difficulty advancing. As the zombies were mainly advancing southwards, with the defence of SY County, Tao Zhengyi had led a carefree life as a tyrant for a while. If it wasn't for the fact that they were starting to lack rations, they wouldn't have sent Shen Xue and her troops to attack.

As Yue Zhong was at loggerheads with the powers of SY County, Yue Zhong's side had always been at a disadvantage. He brought along a few people and the Survivor Camp was able to still accept it. Of course if he were to bring an entire battalion along, it would not sit well with the Survivor Camp.

As Yue Zhong and his team were clearing the checkpoint, a bespectacled man with a scholarly aura stepped up to greet them: "Hello, I am Fan Ming the appointed secretary of Mayor Wen! You must be Commander Yue Zhong. You're really a hero you know. With your age and ability, you managed to save 30,000 survivors which is very commendable."

Lǚ Níng looked at Fan Ming's behaviour and frowned, as a foreboding feeling rose up in her heart.

Yue Zhong glanced at Fan Ming, before replying blandly: "How do you do, Secretary Fan. I am Yue Zhong, is there something you need?"

Fan Ming smiled lightly: "Commander Yue, Mayor Wen would like to have a meeting with you! Please come with me."

Right at this time a young man with a slightly skinnier build, darker skin, aged about 27-28 and sporting a calm air walked over with a kind expression before he spoke. "Hello Yue Zhong. I am Secretary General Peng's assistant, Wei Jueguang! Secretary General Peng has extended his invitation to you! Please come along with me, I have already prepared a car for you."

A luxurious Rolls Royce drove up to Yue Zhong's side, purring quietly at an idle. From within the car an extremely attractive woman stepped out. She was clothed in proper office wear; attractive black stockings that seemed to accentuate her long slim legs, hair that fluttered lightly in the wind and vibrant, purple lipstick. It was nearly enough that one could not take ones eyes off of her.

The beauty that stepped out of the Rolls Royce smiled sweetly at Yue Zhong. Such a scene with a pretty lady and luxurious car, it was quite eye-catching as surely intended.

Fan Ming was displeased and spoke out: "Wei JueGuang, what's the meaning of this? I was the one to invite Commander Yue first. Once his meeting with Mayor Wen is done, it wouldn't be late for you to extend your invitation to Commander Yue."

Wei JueGuang eyed Fan Ming icily and said, "Secretary General Peng is SY County's party representative, and the honourable leader of our SY County. After his meeting with Commander Yue has concluded, it wouldn't be too late for Mayor Wen to talk to him."

The mayor of SY County was called Wen Baoguo, while the Secretary General was Peng Mingde. These 2 were long-time rivals, and each were in control of a huge portion of SY County. Peng Mingde had single-handedly gained strength and support, forcing Wen Baoguo to a corner. However, he had failed in disciplining his child well; it was precisely his son Peng Ji who had caused the problem with the Evolver, leading to such a huge loss of food.

After the incident with the arson, Peng Mingde had expended all his power to protect his only song Peng Ji. However, his influence and power in SY County suffered as a result, many people threw their votes in with the mayor Wen Baoguo, which led to him rising in power again. Now that Wen Baoguo had a say amongst the people of SY County, his words often held a hint of suppressing Peng Mingde.

Although extending an invitation to Yue Zhong was a small matter, both sides were unwilling to give in this time. In these current days, as long as one side revealed a moment of weakness the other hungry wolves would pounce on the opportunity and rip their throats out. Mostly figuratively speaking of course. Mostly.

If initially, Yue Zhong had bowed towards Shen Xue's threats and pressure, the whole of Ning Guang County might very well have ended up in her palms.

Fan Ming eyed Wei Jueguang coldly as he laughed towards Yue Zhong: "Commander Yue, Mayor Wen has already prepared a feast to welcome you, there's even the celebrity Zhou Yanxue performing for you. Mayor Wen is absolutely sincere about making your acquaintance, do consider coming with me!"

The celebrity Zhou Yanxue was a person of huge influence and following prior to the apocalypse. Every time she held a concert, be it in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau or even Taiwan, tickets would be swept up almost immediately. There were fans who were obsessed enough to queue for 2 days straight just to purchase a single ticket. To be able to watch the performance of such a huge star before the apocalypse was something incredible.

Upon hearing Zhou Yanxue's name, Tong Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, as she pulled on Yue Zhong's arms and pleaded: "Brother Yue! Let's go to greet Mayor Wen! I want to see Zhou Yanxue, I'm a huge fan!"

Although Tong Xiaoyun had like everyone witnessed many horrid and cruel things, when she's within safety she could still be her innocent self. Now that she had a chance to catch her favourite idol, she was practically jumping up and down with excitement.

Hearing Tong Xiaoyun's words, Fan Ming's eyes gleamed with smugness. While the live performance of a huge star like Zhou Yanxue might not hold much priority for people who struggled with food, to those without such problems, it was a luxury that was attractive.

Wei Jueguang just lightly chuckled before saying: "Commander Yue, as long as you will come with me now to Secretary General Peng then this Xiao Shishi, a graduate from XX University of the Arts will belong to you. The girl is considered to be her schools #1 Flower and of course the Rolls Royce is included in the package deal."

TN: School flower – a term in chinese popular in Taiwan, China and even Singapore to describe the prettiest girl that most guys adore.

Wei Jueguang had instantly proposed an incredibly practical and attractive offer. Xiao Shishi was a beauty with looks and demeanor not losing out to Gu Manzi. The Rolls Royce was also a powerful sports car. Just to step on the pride of Wen Baoguo, Peng Mingde was willing to invest much.

After the apocalypse, without the supervision and scrutiny of the media, people with power or authority started to grow more daring and impudent with the exchange of girls and items as bribes or conditions, all without batting an eyelid.

Seeing Fan Ming and Wei Jueguang openly engaging in a power struggle, Lǚ Níng frowned in displeasure, her expression cold as she spoke out, "Fan Ming, Wei Jueguang, what is the meaning of this? Yue Zhong is a guest of my invitation, he is naturally coming with me."

Fan Ming smiled at Lǚ Níng and said: "Wherever Commander Yue would like to go is his freedom to choose. Miss Lǚ, dare I ask who are you to Commander Yue? In what capacity are you making his decisions for him?"

Following the flow of time and being unable to accept orders from the central government, the officials and military had initially worked together in SY County. However, due to the difference in power distribution there was a rift between both parties. After all, power was a huge attraction to many regardless of gender and anyone who possessed it found it hard to let go.

Peng Mingde could protect that degenerate son of his who had committed such an atrocious act, was because he had the power. If he didn't, Peng Ji would have been shot dead countless times for his various misdeeds.

Lǚ Níng turned to Yue Zhong and asked: "Yue Zhong, where do you want to go?"

Yue Zhong lightly laughed and said: "Let's head to Mayor Wen's place, I'm also interested in the idol Zhou Yanxue."

Hearing Yue Zhong's choice, Lǚ Níng and Wei Jueguang's expressions turned cold.

After recovering himself, Wei Jueguang continued smiling and said: "Since that's the case, would Commander Yue have the time to meet with Secretary General Peng tomorrow?"

If there were normal people who dared to turn down Secretary General Peng's invitation Wei Jueguang would have laughed coldly, before dealing with the person harshly. Thus making his or her life difficult in SY County. After the apocalypse, if a normal person had dared to anger or slight Secretary General Peng Wei Jueguang could absolutely make sure the person would not live for another day.

However, Yue Zhong wasn't someone normal. He had established his own base(s) of operations, and commanded a troop of over 2000 warriors, while keeping 30,000 people surviving with his various abilities. He was also a strong Evolver all on his own. This figure of existence could not be offended, and Peng Mingde was unwilling to make an enemy out of him.

Yue Zhong replied with courtesy: "Of course I have the time, I also have high regards for Secretary General Peng."

"Then, I'll come pick you up at 9am tomorrow! I hope you have a great night." Wei Jueguang looked towards Yue Zhong and smiled, before getting back into the Rolls Royce and leaving.

"Have an enjoyable evening! I shall return to the camp first!" Lǚ Níng glanced at Yue Zhong before she boarded her vehicle and left as well.

Fan Ming looked at the defeated Wei Jueguang and Lǚ Níng leaving as he laughed and said to Yue Zhong: "Please, this way!"

Under Fan Ming's guidance, Yue Zhong's team came to a villa compound that was decorated lavishly.

How amazing!! Brother Yuan, your strength is really great. Based on your ability, I think even Ning Guang County's Yue Zhong is not your match." A clear female voice had just resounded across the villa's garden, and was heard by Yue Zhong's team.

Yue Zhong looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a young lady of about 17 or 18 with extremely good looks dressed entirely in red. Her skin was a perfect snow-white colour, both smooth and pure. She seemed to be staring with an adoring gaze at a man of about 26, 27 with dark skin, tall stature, and eyes that seemed to shine with a heroic aura.

There were a total of 13 other young men and women surrounding the 2 of them, and right in front of the huge young male there was a sandbag that was lying on the ground in a battered state.

Fan Ming immediately turned ashen as he pointed out her background: "That is Mayor Wen's precious daughter Wen Peishan. She's still young and doesn't know what she's talking about, if her words had offended you, please don't take it to heart!"

Yue Zhong's deeds in Ning Guang County had naturally reached the ears of those higher-ups in SY County. They were starting to pay attention to him and in their eyes, he was a vicious and cruel warlord with no emotions who lusted after women. Fan Ming was worried that Yue Zhong would go against Wen Baoguo just because of the words uttered by Wen Peishan.

Yue Zhong glanced at the girl in red and the huge man before replying blandly, "Relax, I won't take offense."

Yue Zhong had after all, gone through many battles. With a good look he could tell the young man did possess some abilities as well, but lacked the aura and temperament of a warrior that had been through life and death battles. Any of the warriors in Yue Zhong's elite force could wipe the floor with him.

Wen Peishan had just seen Yue Zhong's entourage, and she brought along the group of young men and women as she walked over. "Uncle Fan! Who are these people?"

When the group of people came over, their gazes were drawn to the lady whose hair was tied in a ponytail and dressed in warriors clothing. She had an extremely sexy figure, her skin blindingly white, her appearance peerless, and her aura extremely valiant. She was Ji Qingwu.

TN: The raws spelt sexy figure wrongly, as 'gan'-surnamed figure, which was pretty funny. 姓 and 性 are pronounced the same way, but one refers to surname, one refers to sex.

Chapter 0252 -[The Elite Battalion's Prowess!]

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: TheNo1Fan, Ulamog,Dedition

Amongst the elite battalion warriors that Yue Zhong brought everyone had eyes on Ji Qingwu. Be it her features, figure or demeanor. All of it was extremely eye-catching. When compared to Yue Zhong, he didn't even seem worthy of a second look.

The few other girls who could match Ji Qingwu in terms of her looks and figure were Guo Yu and Chen Yao, who were staying behind at Qing Yuan County handling governance and other matters. Zhuo Yatong was also in charge of the warriors hunting zombies and Mutant Beasts. She wanted to quickly shorten the gap in terms of enhancement between herself and Ji Qingwu, becoming even stronger and more worthy of Yue Zhong.

Fan Ming hurriedly introduced them to Wen Peishan: "Peishan, let me introduce these people to you, this is Ning Guang County's Yue Zhong, also known as Commander Yue."

Wen Peishan looked at Yue Zhong and frowned, as she spoke with an undisguised arrogant tone: "So you are Yue Zhong? You don't look like much though! I heard you used some brutish methods to execute some people in Ning Guang County after your takeover. Is this true?"

The group of people behind Wen Peishan also stared coldly at Yue Zhong, wanting to see how he answered.

Yue Zhong replied blandly, "Yes, it's true."

Wen Peishan became furious immediately and said: "How could you be so cruel? What right did you have to do that? Even if those people were in the wrong, you could have taken care of them by law. What you did was despicable!"

Wen Peishan had always been under her father's protection and had not tasted the bitterness or harshness of life. She naturally did not know the blackness and cruelty of people's hearts in the outside world. Her naive thinking was still stuck in the pre-apocalyptic days, and she naturally felt Yue Zhong's actions were damnable, and he should be thrown in jail.

The rest of the group however, knew far better than Wen Peishan, and they did not dare step up to point at him. After all, this man in front of them was rumored to be a killing machine that did not bat his eyelids at slaughter.

Yue Zhong glanced at the naive Wen Peishan before shaking his head at Fan Ming: "Mayor Wen's ability at guiding his daughter is really subpar!"

In the current world, based on Wen Peishan's temperament, if she lost the protection of Wen Baoguo… who knows? All that awaits her might be a pack of hungry wolves who wouldn't leave a single bit of her behind.

Fan Ming couldn't help but blurt out: "Teaching the young is one of the hardest things in the world. Compared to the Pengs, Peishan is considered very good already."

Even prior to the apocalypse, there were such cases aplenty. Those with power and affluence usually kept low-key but their own sons and daughters were, on the other hand, arrogant and despotic, doing what they liked, an idiotic bunch in fact.

[TN: seems like the author really dislikes people of power. He used a strong chinese term for idiots.]

Wen Baoguo had brought his own daughter up to be caring and kind, which was a good thing before the apocalypse. But after such a drastic change of the world, this was dangerous. THe moment Wen Baoguo fell, his naive daughter wouldn't stand a chance of surviving at all.

Wen Peishan saw that Yue Zhong had actually slighted her, and her face flushed red with anger: "Yue Zhong, I know you take pride in your own abilities and strength, that's why you're so arrogant about it. But as the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains, people above people, there are definitely people who are at least 10 times stronger than you. Do you dare take on Jiang Tao my brother Jiang? If you lose, you surrender yourself to the authorities, who knows, your punishment might be smaller."

After those words from Wen Peishan, the big and burly man Jiang Tao beside her immediately took a step out, his eyes full of animosity as he looked at Yue Zhong.

Jiang Tao was a naturally awakened Strength-based Evolver, and could be considered a true genius. Other than the status of an Evolver, before the apocalypse, he was also an expert in judo, being proficient in various judo wrestling skills, and was extremely good in melee combat. That was why he dared step forward to test Yue Zhong.

"Let me!" Right at this time, amongst Yue Zhong's troops, the loli Yao Yao jumped out, her huge eyes staring at the burly man like a small cheetah eyeing its prey.

Yao Yao was after all a naturally awakened Agility-based Evolver, a genius amongst genii. She didn't like to study culture and normal knowledge, instead, she spent her time frequently polishing her knife skills, learning about combat, weapons, shooting, driving and various other wartime information. Although she had not yet joined the special forces, she wasn't behind them in terms of various combat abilities. She even joined in on the efforts to clear the passage between Ning Guang County and Qing Yuan County, and her own kill count of zombies were numerous, while at the same time, she had already reached Level 28 as an Enhancer, her strength could be comparable to Ji Qingwu.

Jiang Tao looked at Yao Yao, as he frowned and spoke in a deep voice to Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong, you dare to hide behind a girl's back? That's really shameless of you!"

To Jiang Tao, even if he beat Yao Yao this loli, it wasn't something to be proud of, instead, it would feel like he was bullying the weak.

Yao Yao was immediately enraged by Jiang Tao's words, and she activated her Shadow Steps Skill, her Agility instantly soaring to around 140 which was much faster than a normal person. Even faster in fact than Yue Zhong's own Agility.

"You're dead!!" Before Jiang Tao even knew what was going on, Yao Yao had appeared behind his back. She already had a sharp Tang Replica Sword held at his neck, prickling a small wound, blood sluggishly trickling down it.

Everyone present was instantly shocked by Yao Yao's spectre-like speed, it was the first time they saw an Enhancer with such a sickeningly fast speed. Jiang Tao simply had no way of reacting to that and was controlled instantly. If it was a real battle, he would have already died without knowing what hit him.

After Jiang Tao was held in place by Yao Yao's Tang Replica Sword, his entire back broke out in cold sweat his knees shaking, and he didn't dare make a move. He could feel the cold steel and its sharpness, as long as Yao Yao lightly slashed, his limitless future potential as an Evolver would come to an end here.

Yue Zhong frowned, as he stepped forward and raised his hands to catch Yao Yao.

Yao Yao's strength had increased by a scary amount, and wasn't the little Level 1 Evolver that relied on Yue Zhong. When she activated her speed, her Agility was truly beyond that of Yue Zhong. Seeing that Yue Zhong was about to grab her, she immediately retreated swiftly, shooting towards one side like a cheetah.

Yue Zhong glared at Yao Yao, before activating his Art of Fear Skill and a huge baleful and oppressive aura locked on to Yao Yao giving her a shock. She quickly fell weakly like a little kitten into Yue Zhong's arms.

Yue Zhong looked at the rebellious little loli saying, "Who gave you permission to act?"

Yao Yao just pouted, as she twisted her head to the side, showing an expression of a stubborn pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and ignored Yue Zhong.

"I'll deal with you later!" Yue Zhong was absolutely driven up the wall by this little lady Yao Yao. Within his establishment, few people dared to be disrespectful to him, and only this wilful Yao Yao could get on his nerves.

Yao Yao was extremely cute, and also she was capable. Within the base, she got on well with everybody and most people liked her. Furthermore, she was backed by Ji Qingwu. As long as she didn't do something that was too infuriating, Yue Zhong also couldn't bear to discipline her too harshly.

Seeing the little loli Yao Yao who had defeated Jiang Tao so easily simply being captured by Yue Zhong without breaking a sweat…. Other than those on Yue Zhong's side, everyone's eyes went wide.

At this time, another elite warrior with a slightly slimmer build walked out from Yue Zhong's side. While taking an indifferent look at Jiang Tao he spoke. "Jiang Tao! I'm Song Wen. I am considered the weakest amongst the Elite Battalion, allow me to take you up on that challenge."

By this time, Jiang Tao had lost all confidence of challenging Yue Zhong. Ha! Even facing Song Wen of the Elite Troops caused him to be wary and assume a serious expression as he replied with a: "Yes!"

Song Wen did not say anything further. With a single step, he flew forward and his eyes flashed with an incredibly brutal gleam, as though he was a beast that caught sight of a prey, rushing towards Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao also raised his hands and reached out to grab Song Wen's clothes. As long as he could get a grab, he could then give him a good throw.

Song Wen suddenly came to a stop, before lashing out with a kick towards Jiang Tao's abdomen without mercy, sending Jiang Tao flying somewhere between 5 – 6m.

Although Jiang Tao wasn't weak, he possessed little to no experience in actual combat, and could not compare with the troops trained by Yue Zhong. They who had been through countless battles and training vs him? He was naturally defeated easily.

Wen Peishan and the rest of the youths looked at Jiang Tao grabbing his stomach rolling on the ground groaning in pain, their eyes flashed again with shock. They had thought that Jiang Tao, being an Evolver that could disintegrate a punching bag with a punch was way beyond the over talked Yue Zhong of rumors. Who knew that Jiang Tao could not even contend against a single warrior from Yue Zhong's troop, causing them to feel devastated.

"Please, come in!" Fan Ming's eyes flashed with admiration, as he led Yue Zhong and his team into the inner area of the villa. It wasn't time for the feast yet, hence he wanted to show them to their arranged resting quarters.

Yue Zhong also didn't give any further attention towards Wen Peishan and the rest of the youths as he entered the villa.

Ji Qingwu and the rest were quickly assigned their resting areas, while Yue Zhong was led by Fan Ming towards a meeting room.

In the meeting room, a dignified and handsome man, with an aura of prestige sat on the sofa, there were even documents placed on the glass table in front of him. This middle-aged man must be one of the 2 heads of SY County, Mayor Wen Baoguo.

"Please sit!" Upon seeing Yue Zhong enter, Wen Baoguo did not engage in any nonsense and immediately gestured for Yue Zhong to take a seat.

After taking a look at Yue Zhong, Wen Baoguo immediately started the conversation: "How do you do? I am SY County's mayor Wen Baoguo. Yue Zhong, would you be interested in coming over to SY County to help me? As long as you're willing, I am willing to let you hold a post of a special forces battalion commander. All the people under you will be through your own selection, assigning tasks and jobs are also your own responsibility, as long as you report what they do after each mission it'll be enough for me."

Wen Baoguo had immediately proposed an attractive offer. This allowed him to retain his own forces, act on his own, and in short, gave him a position of power within SY County without giving up his trained troops.

Yue Zhong just smiled lightly, and immediately rejectedthe offer."Mayor Wen! I have no interest in expanding to SY County. Let's forget about this matter!"

Yue Zhong was enjoying his life as the leader of his own establishments, he was supporting 30,000 survivors, and wasn't a single survivor on his own anymore. He wasn't willing to throw in with anyone and submit to their wishes and regulations.

Chapter 0253 – Discussion

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, TheNo1Fan, Dedition

The Chinese were by nature people of orthodox means. Even in history, characters like Song Jiang and Zheng Zhilong who were outlaws of their times had made use of the opportunity to receive political amnesty. Wen Baoguo had extended this means and absorbed a number of small powers around him, and this was the reason why he successfully rose in strength enough to be able to contend with Peng Mingde.

https/en./wiki/Song_Jiang

https/en./wiki/Zheng_Zhilong

Seeing that Yue Zhong had turned him down, Wen Baoguo did not have too big a reaction. He simply smiled and said: "Since you're uninterested, it's fine. Yue Zhong, I would like to purchase 5000 tonnes of rations from you and I want to use 5000 tonnes of steel to exchange with you."

After the apocalypse, steel was an extremely useful resource as well, it could be used to manufacture blades, spears, arrows, steel barbed wires, steel lines, etc that were helpful in the fight against zombies.

5000 tonnes of steel was after all, not a small sum, Yue Zhong' Big Stone Town had a small steel factory as well, however the small steel factory was limited by resources, its maximum output was about 6000 tonnes before it had to stop production. It wasn't like the days of before, where one could purchase raw materials easily.

However, humankind could triumph over every other species and become dominant was because humans were resourceful and intelligent. Those vehicles that could not be operated due to fuel issues were stripped down on orders from Guo Yu. The important parts were kept well, while the rest of the steel were sent back to be melted down. That was why Yue Zhong wasn't in sore need of steel at the moment.

Without batting an eye, Yue Zhong replied: "I can sell 5000 tonnes of food to you, but I will require the Survivor Coins, System Equipment, ammunition, mechanical lathe, cotton, sulphuric acid, and some other resources.

The God and Devil System was the source of all enhancements so with its equipment, Yue Zhong could quickly raise an entire army of Enhancers. While the Enhancer army might not be invincible, they were at least of a better physique compared to normal people and could tolerate/undergo tougher training. This would in turn lead to being better and stronger soldiers.

Wen Baoguo looked at Yue Zhong, his eyes narrowed. He could tell that this young man in front of him was formidable in many aspects other than war indeed.

When the county's Enhancers killed the zombies and Mutant Beasts with the System Equipment, they of course managed to gain some Survivor Currency. It was just that there were no Newbie Villages. So obviously the Survivor Currency was considered useless. Wen Baoguo possessed over 15,000 of them, yet could find absolutely no use for it.

Yue Zhong shook his head: "1 point of survivor currency for 2 kg of rations. This time I brought along 5000 tonnes of food intending to conduct a trade here in SY County. Regardless of who the person is, as long as they are able to offer a price to my liking, I will sell to that person. I will only sell 5000 tonnes though because I don't have any more."

Rations were currently the most sought-after resource. After opening 2 huge granaries, and the constant scouring he only managed to scrape together about 17,000 tonnes of food. He was willing to take out 5,000 tonnes for an exchange and this was already the largest consensus he could arrive at, he would not easily sell off his food.

Previously, because he had to quell the insurgency, he hurriedly agreed to exchange 3,000 tonnes of rations for 300jin of gold. Coupled with the fact that his strength wasn't sufficient then he had chosen this option.

Now that he gained control of his 2 established counties and had the total strength of 7 battalions of soldiers, his strength was vastly different. Naturally his threshold had risen as well, and he could be firmer with his words.

Be it before or after the apocalypse, the world had always worked on the fact that people with power would usually be tougher to deal with. Regardless of international relations or the relationship between 2 major powers, it was the unspoken general rule that most adhered to.

The reason why Yue Zhong had only brought 5,000 tonnes to exchange was mostly due to the fact that he wasn't willing to part with his precious rations. At the same time, he harbored ill intents, and wanted to see the major powers in SY County break up in an internal struggle for the food.

Wen Baoguo looked at Yue Zhong and smiled lightly: "All these administrative matters, let's have the subordinates handle them! This time I've invited you here to see the kind of person and hero that had saved countless survivors from the mouths of the zombies and Mutant Beasts. After seeing you, you are indeed as the rumors say and a lot more. Of this 5,000 tonnes, I hope to gain at least a 1,000 tonnes of it."

Wen Baoguo wasn't a negotiator, although he did have people who were good in it under him. As long as he embarked on the first step, the actual negotiations could be left to his subordinates.

Yue Zhong also expressed an extremely warm smile but remained vehemently firm and said: "I'm willing to send you a gift of 1 tonne of food as a sign of our friendship. At the same time, as long as you are able to present items that we need… the entire 5,000 tonnes of food can be sold to you with no problems."

Wen Baoguo saw that Yue Zhong was extremely closed to his advances, and did not pursue the matter. Instead he smiled and said: "Since you have come from afar, why don't you go get some rest. We'll leave this matter for another time, hopefully you'll enjoy yourself tonight."

"Farewell!" Yue Zhong gave Wen Baoguo a smile, before rising and left.

After Yue Zhong left, Wen Baoguo closed his eyes in thought, as he picked up a stack of documents and poured r over them carefully. The documents contained information on Yue Zhong.

SY County was after all, an official governing body. They had long sent someone to enter Yue Zhong's establishment and had been receiving information on him. As the leader of such an establishment, Yue Zhong was an important character and all sorts of intelligence had been pouring in to SY County.

"What a pity! We already missed the best chance to contain him…" Wen Baoguo looked through the report and saw that Yue Zhong had brought his men to Qing Yuan County originally, only to be turned away by the Ice King. He sighed once again.

This was the crucial turning point for Yue Zhong's actions. Prior to this, if Chen Jianfeng had sincerely made use of his position to welcome Yue Zhong…. Who knows, Yue Zhong might have long ago become a powerhouse for Qing Yuan County. However he had been forced out, and established his own base. Thereafter, there would definitely be no chance to offer him political amnesty. Of course he wouldn't want it anyway.

Soon night fell, and a number of well-dressed aristocrats came trickling into the villa.

At the location of the banquet, countless crystal lamps illuminated the huge hall. While the dignified-looking men and women proceeded to mingle around with red wine in their hands as they discussed the news in the city, a number of suave waiters and beautiful waitresses were walking around serving people.

On the sides of the banquet hall there were 2 long tables of food from all sorts of places, plates of seafood, mutated vegetables, and even meat from Mutant Beasts all laid out in full view. It gave the distinct impression that there was no apocalypse to worry about.

Right at this time, a group of people wearing a variety of military uniforms, evening dresses, suits, white shirts and even jeans walked into the hall with big strides.

"What a bunch of ignorant country bumpkins!" These shoddily-dressed people aroused the attention of the countless nobles hanging around, whose eyes all flashed with disdain.

This group of people receiving the cold stares was precisely Yue Zhong and his people.

Amongst Yue Zhong's special forces, their backgrounds were all complicated, there was even someone like Ji Qingwu who received a refined upbringing, yet she still did things her way. There was also Tong Xiaoyun from a common family background. There was the loli Yao Yao who seemed to prefer nothing else but military wear and jeans. There were even 2 people who were farmers prior to the apocalypse, and were upstarts themselves. This motley crew of mavericks had actually come together into Yue Zhong's special forces.

The Special Operations Battalion only wore proper uniforms during times of mission and objectives, otherwise, they would dress in whatever they liked. As they were the strongest of Yue Zhong's troops, they had a certain pride and character.

"What a feast!!" A number of the Special Operations warriors took one look at the various delicacies laid out and their eyes lit up, before rushing forward like hungry wolves.

Although the Special Operation Battalion received one of the best treatments amongst Yue Zhong's troops, chances to eat their fill at such events were rare. During times of the apocalypse, there was hardly a time when a soldier could just set his mind to eat such delicious foods without worrying about anything else.

When those warriors made their moves, the rest of the Special Operation warriors did not linger beside Yue Zhong. They individually headed towards their favourite food and grabbed it before stuffing their faces, looking like a bunch of hungry ghosts.

Yao Yao had activated her Agility and within the blink of an eye, she actually collected 3 plates of cakes, 4 fishes, and 2 fat crabs within her arms, just as quickly she started swallowing the cakes nearly whole. The whole while she was maintaining a vigilant stare at the rest of the Special Operations warriors as though she was a cheetah protecting her own meal.

Other than Gu Zhixing, Ji Qingwu, Bai He and a few other special forces members, the majority of them had already rushed up and were snatching the good stuff while shovelling food into their faces.

"This time, I've lost all face!" Yue Zhong looked at his men who were acting like hungry ghosts, as he sighed. Shaking his head he walked over and directly grabbed a plate of cake and started relishing it.

With regards to his Special Forces, as long as their leashes stayed on during important times, Yue Zhong didn't want to control them too much.

The countless nobles looked on as the warriors Yue Zhong brought started to clear the food like hungry wolves. Their eyes were turning red as the amount of food dwindled at the speed of a tornado.

This was after all, a time of trouble. The people who were able to host such a lavish banquet were only Wen Baoguo, Peng Mingde, and maybe the Army itself. Even Wen Baoguo who was the 2nd strongest power in SY County could only host such a party at most once or twice a month, and it was already impressive. Most other parties had no means of organizing such a party nor could they afford to be so extravagant with their food.

The difference was, that even all these distinguished guests had attended the banquet with the intention of having a great feast as well. However, because they valued their face and pride, they all put on a refined and well-mannered front. They were even only taking bits and pieces at times to show their culture.

"How could you guys be like this? Isn't this too uncouth!" Wen Peishan arrived in front of Yue Zhong. She was bedecked in a red dress with a plunging neckline, various jewellry, and even wearing a pink headband. She looked extremely gorgeous, yet was annoyed at Yue Zhong and his troops' behaviour.

"Open your mouth!" Yue Zhong had just cut out a slice of cake, and was using a fork to feed it to Tong Xiaoyun, as he smiled.

Tong Xiaoyun's face was currently flushed and she wolfed it down in a single bite, the flavor exploded and her tastebuds were overpowered by the sweetness.

"How are we unbecoming? Miss Wen?" Yue Zhong was in a good mood, and just turned his head to question Wen Peishan.

He turned Only to find that there were 6 people by her side. Of these 6, 4 looked pretty ordinary while the 2 others were extreme beauties. One of them had a doll face a petite figure, and her skin was extremely fair. These gave her a cute vibe overall, coupled with a stunning clear gaze. The other beauty had a voluptuous figure her skin also fair, yet her expression seemed as though she wanted to rebel.

Wen Peishan replied angrily, "With the way you guys are eating, all the food will be eaten and there will be none for the guests."

Yue Zhong glanced at Wen Peishan before saying indifferently: "This is a banquet after all! Everyone should help themselves. What are we doing wrong by eating our fill? If they want to eat, just go ahead and take it. If the food is not enough, and they didn't eat their fill, then it's the host's fault for not preparing enough."

"You're shameless!" Wen Peishan was furious and her face flushed red. She had never come across such a shameless person before. A guest who went into someone else's banquet and dared to eat without restraint, while criticizing the host for not having ample preparations.

Right at this time, a suave gentleman in a suit and holding a glass of wine walked over looking at Yue Zhong with an extremely haughty expression and saying coldly: "Where are you from, you country bumpkin? This is not a place for people like you without etiquette. Get out!"

Wen Peishan took a look at the handsome gentleman whose background was influential, and she frowned. This young man was called Lu Chenguang, and he was the 2nd Young Master of the Lu Family in SY County. He was also well known for being arrogant and despotic. He was currently chasing her without restraints, and had obviously come over to make a scene and to show himself.

Behind Lu Chenguang were a few other young men who were respective young masters of their own household. They looked at Yue Zhong, their faces filled with ridicule. They wanted to join up and humiliate Yue Zhong thoroughly, just because he had a few beauties by his side and was currently infuriating the princess of SY County.

The 2 beauties next to Wen Peishan also locked their gazes on Yue Zhong, wanting to see how he was going to handle the situation.

Yue Zhong coldly gazed at Lu Chenguang and spoke, "Kneel!"

Lu Chenguang heard those words, and his eyes flashed with an icy gleam, as he reached out to slap Yue Zhong: "Kneel?? Your words are sure big!! You dare to make me kneel! Seems like if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know the difference between I, your master and you."

Chapter 0254 – I am Yue Zhong!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, TheNo1Fan, Dedition

Lu Chenguang had just raised his hands, when Cheng Yu, who was standing beside Yue Zhong shot forward like an arrow, raising his own hand and grabbed Lu Chenguang's hands, before forcefully applying strength and twisting Lu Chenguang's arms behind his back. His next move was kicking out twice at his knee, forcing Lu Chenguang to kneel down in a humiliating manner.

Lu Chenguang found that he had been forced to kneel in such a manner, and he gritted his teeth saying, "Do you know who I am? I am Lu Family's 2nd Young Master Lu Chenguang. SY County's top expert Lu Tianzong is my brother. You dare to touch me, my brother will definitely not let you off!!"

"Let go of Young Master Lu!!"

I'm going to get Master Lu Tianzong!

"If you don't want to live in SY County any longer, you can kill him anyways?"

All the young masters behind Lu Chenguang immediately stepped forward and issued threats.

One of the elite soldiers called Kong Wei suddenly exploded forwards, and with a single kick, he sent one of the young masters flying through the air hitting a table and causing screams.

Song Wen's gaze also flashed with a murderous intent as he shot forward like an arrow, grabbing one of the young master's head, before harshly kneeing him in the face causing his nose to spontaneously erupt blood.

Another 3 of the warriors stepped out and with just a move, they forced the remaining 3 young masters to sprawl on the floor, grabbing on to their heads and presenting them like dogs to Yue Zhong.

Song Wen smacked his lips, with his eyes radiated an intense battle lust, as he laughed coldly and said, "Commander Yue! Do you want them dead?"

Song Wen was a murderer prior to the apocalypse. After joining Yue Zhong's troops, he had always fought valiantly and was extremely used to killing enemies without hesitation. Killing these soft rich men's sons wasn't an issue to him.

The special forces not only had to deal with zombies, they also were in charge of special missions to clear some troublesome characters, every single warrior had blood on their hands. Human lives were not important to them!!

"Don't kill me!!"

"I'm sorry!! Don't kill me!!"

Feeling the intense murderous intent from Song Wen, the 5 young masters who were originally extremely arrogant were frightened out of their wits, and started pleading for mercy.

"My brother is Lu Tianzong, you won't be able to kill me!! If you kill me, you will not be able to escape from SY County's government." Lu Chenguang was honestly terrified by the ruthless measures of Song Wen and the rest, and his face was white while he trembled as he tried to threaten Yue Zhong again. SY County was protective of these important characters and Lu Chenguang was banking on the fact that SY County would not forgive Yue Zhong if he committed murder.

Yue Zhong stared at Lu Chenguang and laughed coldly: "I am Yue Zhong! Ning Guang County's Yue Zhong! If your brother Lu Tianzong or your entire Lu Family wants to challenge me, I will welcome them with open arms!"

"Yue Zhong!!" Upon hearing this name, Lu Chenguang involuntarily shuddered and his heart went cold. This person was someone his dad had specifically warned him not to provoke under any circumstance. The monster from Ning Guang County in front of him had casually executed over a hundred people, and laughed while tossing a person to be eaten alive by zombies. If this madman was to kill him, his Lu Family might even have to apologize for his behaviour. Yue Zhong was a scary existence that even the Army did not want to offend.

Lu Chenguang immediately bowed his head, as he apologized profusely without regards for his image and pride: "I'm sorry, it was my fault!! I didn't recognize you and had offended you!! Please have mercy on us and let us off!!"

Lu Chenguang was usually arrogant and despotic, towards people he deemed weaker than himself. However, if he met someone who was stronger, his attitude would take a 180 degree turn. If he had offended them, he would immediately apologize and lower his head, as he knew he could not afford to make an enemy out of Yue Zhong for his family.

"This time, I'll overlook it! Release them!" Yue Zhong waved his hand, Song Wen and the rest released their grip on the 6 young males.

Amongst the 5 other young masters, not all of them had heard of Yue Zhong's fame. However, they knew that since Lu Chenguang, one of the biggest young masters in SY County had actually bowed down to this person, he naturally could not be offended. 4 of them immediately excused themselves abashedly, leaving behind Lu Chenguang and the other member of the group, who stood to the side.

"What a brute!" Seeing how Yue Zhong had overcome Lu Chenguang and his lackeys by overwhelming force, the doll-like girl Zheng Peipei had a look of disgust in her eyes. She detested those who forced others into submission like Yue Zhong.

"Brute? This person is heroic and valiant. In such chaotic times, only these type of characters can get the important things done." The other beauty with the attractive figure, Tai Yiyan, was currently licking her sexy lips. Her eyes stared fixedly at Yue Zhong without blinking.

After Lu Chenguang received his just rewards he did not slink away with embarrassment. Instead, he actually worked up the courage and nerve to ask Yue Zhong, albeit with respect this time: "Brother Yue Zhong! My Father had always been in awe of you, and hopes to invite you to our mansion as a guest. I'm not sure when will be a good time?"

While Lu Chenguang might be arrogant and trample over others, he wasn't a good for nothing as well. He switched his attitude at the first sign, and took the initiative to lower himself while extending a gesture of goodwill to Yue Zhong.

SY County was after all in a midst of a power struggle, since Yue Zhong was here to engage in a large trade of rations, the Lu Family naturally wanted a part of it.

Yue Zhong glanced at Lu Chenguang before saying indifferently: "Let's talk about this another time!"

Yue Zhong wasn't familiar with SY County, and he needed to find some allies in here. Although he was reluctant to engage in clash with the Army that possessed proper troops, he was envious of the abundant resource SY County had: trained people.

During the times of apocalypse, trained people were the most precious resource, with enough capable people, an establishment could quickly grow and develop. This time, Yue Zhong wanted to see if he could use a peaceful method to pull some specialized people over from SY County. Under this kind of scenario, the more allies he had in SY County, the better it would be.

At the same time, Yue Zhong had to maintain a strong and unshakeable front, he absolutely could not reveal any signs of weakness. The stronger he is, the more parties that will be willing to work with him. Vice versa, if he is perceived to be weaker then there will be more people who might make use of the chances to stab him in the back.

Wen Peishan looking at Lu Chenguang's behaviour was repulsed, and she didn't hide it as she immediately berated him: "Lu Chenguang, you're no man!"

Lu Chenguang looked at Wen Peishan with a complicated gaze, but as he tore his eyes away, he did not give another look towards the girl that he used to like very much. Compared to the importance of his Lu Family, Wen Peishan was just a girl, and the priorities were clear to him.

Even if he did not succeed in wooing Wen Peishan, Lu Chenguang could still go for other girls. Right now in SY County, whoever had food, had the power to mess with a few girls and it wouldn't be a problem at all. Without the Lu Family, Lu Chenguang might have been a beggar for all he knew.

"Not a man!" Tai Yiyan looked at Lu Chenguang's performance, and laughed coldly as well.

Zheng Peipei frowned and came to Lu Chenguang's defence: "That wasn't Chenguang's fault! If you want to blame, blame Yue Zhong. If he wasn't so adamant about going against him, Chenguang wouldn't have become like this."

Just as men liked beauties, ladies were drawn to suave and charming guys. Lu Chenguang was in fact good-looking, and knew how to maintain his complexion, even a number of young idols could not compare to him. He was considered an eligible bachelor, and the women who liked him were numerous, Zheng Peipei included.

"Zhou Yanxue!!"

"The huge star Zhou Yanxue is here!!"

Right at this moment, the banquet guests started to buzz with excitement, as an incredibly beautiful and attractive woman walked into the hall. Dressed in a purple dress with a plunging neckline, her figure extremely sexy, her age about 23. She had a head of black long hair, abundant curves in front and behind, and was walking with elegance. This was precisely Zhou Yanxue.

Right beside her, was a fair-skinned, tall and well-built man, with an air of dignity and confidence. The handsome gentleman walking beside the beauty painted the picture of a golden couple, as they became the centre of attention.

Song Wen looked at the absolute beauty Zhou Yanxue, as a look of lust appeared on his face, while licking his lips and said: "That must be the celebrity Zhou Yanxue! She's really exquisite. If I could just sleep with her for one night, my whole life is worth it!"

Lu Chenguang was after all SY County's native, as he pointed out the identities of Zhou Yanxue and her partner: "That is precisely Zhou Yanxue. Beside her, is the well-known flower boy Su Tianyang! He is the son of Su Dongming, who happens to be one of the 5 big heads within SY County's Army. With him around, no one dares to approach Zhou Yanxue. If you dare to touch her, it's equivalent to going against the Army."

The might of the SY County army was indeed terrifying, Yue Zhong also did not want to provoke them for no reason. He carefully observed Zhou Yanxue and could not help but admit she was extremely attractive. Even within his circle, the only comparable person in terms of looks and aura was Zhuo Yatong.

Guo Yu, Chen Yao and Ji Qingwu were beauties in their own right, but their overall package could not compare to the women who had reached perfection in their prime, like Zhuo Yatong and Zhou Yanxue.

One by one, members of the party stepped up to engage in conversation with Su Tianyang and Zhou Yanxue. While it was an honour to engage in small talk with a celebrity such as Zhou Yanxue, most of the people were actually more interested in forging good relationships with Su Tianyang, after all, he was backed by one of the 5 heads in the army, each and every move of his could affect plenty of lives.

Tong Xiaoyun rushed up in front of Zhou Yanxue excitedly and called out: "Miss Zhou Yanxue! I am a huge fan, can I get an autograph?"

"Of course! Little sister!" Zhou Yanxue was used to the adoring gazes of her fans, and had seen her fair share of fangirls, she revealed an extremely charming smile, as she received the paper from Tong Xiaoyun, and proceeded to sign her autograph.

Chapter 0255 – Ambush by the Dark Crows!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

Lu Chenguang had come forward to introduce Su Tianyang and Yue Zhong: "Tianyang, let me introduce this person to you! This is Ning Guang County's Yue Zhong!! Yue Zhong, this is Su Tianyang Second Young Master Su."

"Yue Zhong?" Su Tianyang frowned, as he looked at Yue Zhong, before coldly saying: "Yue Zhong, you have come to plead for amnesty right? If you are willing to surrender to the SY County army, I can help put in some words for you, and let you become a squad commander. If you still want to hesitate and drag this matter longer, once the army reaches your Ning Guang County, it will only result in your death!"

SY County had many different characters hanging out together, each of them with unique temperaments. Different powerhouses treated Yue Zhong differently.

Yue Zhong glanced at Su Tianyang coldly and replied with: "I'm waiting for your army to come! If you have the guts, you best lead the army yourself. At that time, I'll let you experience who will be buried."

Even though Yue Zhong was reluctant to clash against the army, if the army took the initiative to launch an assault, he would definitely not back down, and thoroughly wipe out the enemy troops. The 7 battalions under Yue Zhong have all went through some sort of warfare, 3 of them could be considered having enough battle prowess that surpasses the army's soldiers. The remaining 4 also did not consist of cowards that ran at the first sign of trouble. These battalions were Yue Zhong's trump cards, and even if SY County were to come on strong, he would reply back with a lot more ferocity.

At this point, the conversation between Su Tianyang and Yue Zhong had come to an icy halt.

A few of the Special Forces warriors came beside Yue Zhong and stared at Su Tianyang coldly.

After expansion, the 36-man Special Forces Battalion possessed Enhancers that were all above level 26, each of them experts at utilizing different skills. If it came down to using them, with just their battalion, they could set in motion a wave of carnage nobody would forget.

Su Tianyang's words had just come out and he was immediately rebuked by Yue Zhong, followed by the cold stares of Yue Zhong's warriors. This led him to be in a difficult situation, he did not want to continue but he could not back down for fear of his face. He had always been direct and overbearing, but because the Army's influence and power was huge, no one dared say anything back. This was the first time he had actually faced a retort. It must be made clear that the Army was SY County's strongest force currently, and most of the smaller powers would rather throw their weight in with the army. Just being the commander of a small squad was an incredible position, and it was more attractive than being part of the government.

Zhou Yanxue walked right towards them at this moment, with a hint of fragrance about her, as she spoke in a charming voice: "Master Su, Master Yue. It is time for me to perform, can I trouble the 2 of you to give me face, and shelve your disputes while listening to my songs?"

"On account of Zhou Yanxue, I won't pursue this matter." With the chance to step down, Su Tianyang hurriedly told Yue Zhong off, with a cold look.

The Army was still unprepared to wage war on Yue Zhong, Su Tianyang had just used some words to probe Yue Zhong. If Yue Zhong had shown some weakness, he would have bank on that to increase the pressure on Yue Zhong. He didn't expect Yue Zhong to retaliate so strongly, making things difficult for him.

Yue Zhong replied indifferently: "On account of Miss Zhou, this matter shall be overlooked."

Since the army possessed huge strength, Yue Zhong did not want to go against them so fast. Even if he used all his means, it would only result in a tragic win, and if he lost, then everything will be for naught.

Watching the 2 headstrong men backed down with their pride intact, Zhou Yanxue lightly smiled, before she walked towards the stage.

The moment she stepped on the stage, the guests quietened down.

Under the shine of the stage lights, Zhou Yanxue looked stunning and beautiful beyond compare.

Su Tianyang, whose mood was low after the verbal exchange with Yue Zhong, upon seeing Zhou Yanxue, his eyes lit up with passion. He had seen many women, and played around with countless beauties, but someone like Zhou Yanxue, he had never been with. He also truly fell in love with Zhou Yanxue, that was why he did not make use of his background, to force himself on her.

Prior to the apocalypse, Su Tianyang did not even have the qualifications to woo Zhou Yanxue, but after the apocalypse, if he was willing to provoke and offend some of the SY County's powerhouse, he could still have his way with Zhou Yanxue.

On that stage, Zhou Yanxue broke into her song with an extremely captivating voice. Her voice was like the flow of water from a clear spring, trickling into the audience's hearts, washing and cleansing their state of minds.

Every single member of the audience was thoroughly enamored by Zhou Yanxue's voice, their expressions drunk.

Tong Xiaoyun was currently moved beyond words, as teardrops flowed from her eyes. Ji Qingwu had closed her eyes, and was quietly appreciating the beautiful music. As she was brought up and learned in culture, she could not help but admit that Zhou Yanxue's voice was truly beautiful. Even Yue Zhong who did not know a single thing about music, felt that her voice was amazing.

TN: Check this out for the song that came to my mind as I translated this. https//watch?v=GdJVvyN3D04

The moment the song came to an end, the applause was like thunder, every member of the audience could not help but praise Zhou Yanxue.

As Zhou Yanxue stood on the stage, she looked at the men and women below with a hint of fatigue. Before the apocalypse, as she had a family background that was not simple, even if people coveted her, they would not dare show it. But after the apocalypse, since there were no news of her family, all those people who had designs on her started to show up. If it wasn't for the fact that she mingled with the top brass of society, who checked each other, she might have become a canary in captivity.

"Yanxue, great work!" Su Tianyang saw Zhou Yanxue coming down from the stage and he walked towards her with a charming smile.

"I should just choose him! At least he's young, and he has a good family background. And he should be true to me." Zhou Yanxue looked at the good-looking Su Tianyang walking towards her, and her heart skipped a beat.

Although Su Tianyang wasn't the best man out there, compared to the smelly old men, she was at least more receptive towards this young man who had a promising future and some strength.

Right at this time, all of a sudden, a piercing alarm sounded out across the entire SY County.

In the next moment, within the compound, countless glass shattered, and numerous mutant birds with black feathers, beaks 20cm long, huge claws with 5 cm talons rushed in.

"Level 16 Mutant Beast: Dark Crow! It likes to attack during the dark of the night. It is ferocious and extremely hostile!"

As soon as Yue Zhong saw the Dark Crows, his eyes filled up with the information from the system.

The moment the Dark Crows broke through the windows, they started an attacking frenzy on thr various guests.

One Dark Crow flapped its wings and became a ray of black light that shot towards a man in a suit, before clawing viciously, and pecked a huge bloody hole in his head with ferocity. It then proceeded to feast on the blood and brain matter with gusto.

One by one, the Dark Crows chased the various guests in the villa, plunging the people into chaos. These people were the elites of society, and had never faced a Mutant Beast in combat before. Facing the sudden assault of these Level 16 Mutant Beasts, they naturally lost all composure and fighting spirit.

Amidst the chaos, Zhou Yanxue and Su Tianyang were currently trying to escape together, when suddenly, a Dark Crow flew towards Zhou Yanxue's direction.

Zhou Yanxue let out a desperate cry towards Su Tianyang: "Help me!! Tianyang, help me!!"

Su Tianyang shuddered, before a resolute glint appeared in his eyes, as he pushed Zhou Yanxue forward, directly into the path of the Dark Crow. Once the Dark Crow had its fill, it naturally would leave Su Tianyang alone. Although he liked Zhou Yanxue alot, he valued his own little life a lot more.

When Zhou Yanxue was pushed in this manner by Su Tianyang, a hint of disbelief and desolation could be seen in her eyes. Not long ago, he had sworn to love her and protect her, wanting to marry her and only death till they part. Who knew at this time of crisis, he didn't save her, instead pushing her further to the impending grasp of death, turning her heart into dead ash.

The speed of the Dark Crow was extremely fast, in a few seconds it had appeared in front of Zhou Yanxue, with its claws outstretched and aiming at her shoulders. As long as it grabbed her shoulders, with a single peck, one of the world's greatest beauty would die just like any other human being.

Right when Zhou Yanxue had lost all hope, with a flash of a blade, the Dark Crow was instantly sliced in two, fresh blood splattering on Zhou Yanxue.

Having escaped certain death, Zhou Yanxue looked towards the owner of the blade with glistening eyes, and saw the back of Yue Zhong as he waved his Dark Magic Blade around, killing the Dark Crows left right centre.

As she looked at Yue Zhong, her eyes had a strange gleam, as her heart grew complicated: "So it is you!! During this time, only he could be relied on."

"Help!! Help!!" Wen Peishan watched her friends getting pecked to death by the Dark Crows, as she cried out while crouching on the floor.

It was just that everyone was frantically escaping for their lives, therefore no one could care less about Wen Peishan this princess.

Amongst the Dark Crows circling in the air, one of them suddenly dove down towards Wen Peishan (TN: no shit, your making alot of noise there), and she was so terrified that her body trembled uncontrollably, as a yellow liquid ran down her fair legs. This pretty flower had actually been frightened to the point she lost control of herself.

As the Dark Crow came in front of her eyes, with a flash of a blade, that Dark Crow was cut in two.

Wen Peishan lifted her head, and discovered the killer of the Dark Crow was precisely the Yue Zhong that she hated.

"Don't leave me!! Please, don't leave me behind!!" Just as Yue Zhong turned to leave and kill another Dark Crow, Wen Peishan grabbed onto his shirt, and was sobbing her heart out, pleading profusely.

Chapter 0256 – Zhou Yanxue's Confession!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog,TheNo1Fan,Dedition

Wen Peishan had always been in the protection of her father. Even before the apocalypse set in and zombies walked the face of the earth, she had never witnessed the deaths of other people personally. This time she was truly scared out of her wits and she grabbed Yue Zhong's shirt tightly and didn't let go.

Yue Zhong only glanced at Wen Peishan before saying, "Follow me closely or I can't guarantee your survival!"

After all, a person's background might play an important role at any time. If Wen Peishan was just a normal girl, Yue Zhong wouldn't mind her too much. At least not enough to risk his own hide to save her. However, she was Wen Baoguo's daughter, if Yue Zhong wanted to do anything in SY County, he needed to work together with some major powers and forge good, lasting relationships.

Wen Peishan grabbed Yue Zhong's clothes tightly, as she suppressed her shame and embarrassment at remembering all her prior words, following closely behind him.

Wen Peishan's close friend Tai Yiyan was also trying to escape amidst the chaos. As she ran she saw just ahead someone she knew was pecked to death right in front of her eyes, the bird beak easily slamming through the persons forehead. In response her body numbed and her bowels clenched, her heart thumping heavily, icy fear slithering through her veins. Fleeing even faster she caught sight of Yue Zhong and at that moment, her eyes were filled with a strange relief as she hurried over frantically shouting: "Help!!! Help!!!"

2 dive bombing Dark Crows shot towards Tai Yiyan like arrows, forcing Yue Zhong to wave his sword in successive swings, instantly killing the 2 Dark Crows, fresh blood and fluffy gore splattering on the ground.

Tai Yiyan took the chance to immediately throw herself into Yue Zhong's arms, a heavy scent of perfume wafting into his nose, and squirmed seductively, crying out somewhat fearfully: "I'm so afraid!!"

Wen Peishan looked at Tai Yiyan currently in Yue Zhong's embrace, and her heart felt a little sour. It was strangely as though something precious of hers was stolen by someone else.

"Follow me closely!" Yue Zhong did not have the time or heart to console Tai Yiyan this little vixen, as he pushed her away and strode forward once more.

After Tai Yiyan was pushed out of Yue Zhong's embrace, she followed behind him tightly. It seemed that right now amidst the chaos, the safest place to be was by Yue Zhong's side.

The celebrity Zhou Yanxue had also silently come along and was following behind. She was not a fool and was clear that following Yue Zhong was the safest choice.

"Save me!! Save me!!" Zheng Peipei was trapped in the chaos, and she unconsciously made her way towards Lu Chenguang while pleading loudly. However, Lu Chenguang's speed of escaping was fast, even with the loud shouting of Zheng Peipei, he pretended not to hear her.

Amidst the chaos, a man from behind ran forward and knocked Zheng Peipei to the ground. The people behind didn't notice the living person beneath their feet as they just proceeded to violently stamp and smash their way over her in a mad dash to escape.

Just as she was about to be stomped to her death, the people dispersed and escaped towards other directions.The print riddled half-corpse of Zheng Peipei could hardly be in a worse condition. A number of the Dark Crows were currently flying over, and like arrows, shot down on top of their shoulders leading with their sharp beaks to peck holes in the runners heads.

One of the Dark Crows also turned into a streak of black lightning that shot towards Zheng Peipei, who could only helplessly cough up blood from her pitiful place on the floor. There was a look of fear written in her eyes as she watched her own death soar.nearer on silent wings.

Just at this moment, there was a flash of bladelight and the Dark Crow was savagely chopped into two halves, saving Zheng Peipei's life.

Zheng Peipei glanced at whomever might be her saviour only to discover that it was precisely the 'barbarian' whom she had greatly despised not all that long ago.

Right at this time,Tai Yiyan, who was standing beside Yue Zhong, saw the heavily-injured Zheng Peipei who had been trampled over a dozen times. She immediately walked over and helped Zheng Peipei up, supporting her as she asked anxiously,

"Peipei, are you alright?"

Although Tai Yiyan and Zheng Peipei had different personalities, they shared close family backgrounds and had been best friends ever since they were young. Both of them were very close with each other. Upon seeing that Zheng Peipei had received heavy injuries, Tai Yiyan truly felt anxious in her heart.

As she coughed up blood, Zheng Peipei, whose baby face had fear written all over, held tightly onto Tai Yiyan's small hand and cried as she said,

"Yiyan, I'm almost dead!! I don't want to die!!"

After her delicate body had been trampled over by a dozen people, Zheng Peipei had already received heavy injuries; if she didn't receive emergency medical treatment the only remaining road for her would be the unknown trail of death.

Tai Yiyan held back the tears in her beautiful eyes as she said,

"Peipei, hold on, you will be alright!! I will call a doctor for you very soon! I will definitely find someone to nurse you back to health!"

A gruff voice ruined the painful of somewhat nauseatingly emotional moment: "Apply one bag externally and also take one bag orally! Let her consume one bag first. Then support her as you come along with me!

Right when Tai Yiyan and Zheng Peipei were both starting to tear up, Yue Zhong tossed two medicine bags containing the Life-Saving Grass powder into Tai Yiyan's hands.

Upon receiving the medicine bags, Tai Yiyan only glanced at Yue Zhong before tearing open one of the bags without any hesitation and pouring the medicinal contents into Zheng Peipei's mouth.

The Life-Saving Grass Powder possessed miraculous curing effects: once Zheng Peipei had swallowed it, her incredibly pale face finally regained some of its color and soon after, she also stopped coughing up blood.

"What a miraculous medicine! Exactly how many secrets are still hidden on him?"

As she watched Zheng Peipei's rapid recovery, Tai Yiyan felt a slight shock in her heart. Gritting her teeth, she carried Zheng Peipei as she followed behind Yue Zhong.

Right at this moment, Zhou Yanxue walked up to Tai Yiyan's side and revealed a beautiful smile as she said,

"I'll help you!"

"Thank you Sister Yanxue!"

Tai Yiyan instantly gained a favorable impression of Zhou Yanxue. It was truly too exhausting for her to carry Zheng Peipei by herself, so having an extra person to help out was the best right now.

Wen Peishan continued following Yue Zhong tightly. Earlier, she was truly frightened, and even though Tai Yiyan and Zheng Peipei were supposed to be her good friends, their relationship with her was just that: good friends. During such a time of crisis, she was willing to only stay by Yue Zhong's side, it made her feel more safe.

The entire banquet had been thrown into chaos, yet Yue Zhong's Special Combat Battalion had not lost their composure. They gathered in small units of 4, supporting one another, as they each utilized their skills and abilities to take out the Dark Crows.

While half of them acted, there was another group of them that stayed still, calmly observed and reported the surroundings. There were currently more enemies than allies in SY County, they naturally would preserve their strengths so as to be ready to retreat anytime.

Although only half of the warriors from the Special Combat Battalion deployed, the Dark Crows were still unable to resist the warriors' attacks as they were killed off one by one.

When the other guests of the banquet saw that the Special Combat Battalion had made their move, they started to move towards them, hiding behind this group of warriors whom they had just despised as barbarians.

Yue Zhong was like a Wedgestone that stood at the front of the group. As any frenzied Dark Crow flew over, they would only see a flash of a blade, and if flying particularly fast after they were split down the middle they would fly apart into large pieces with a light spattering of blood across his chest with each kill.

Although Yue Zhong had not received any pointers on swordplay from any great masters, after being tempered through many difficult battles, his swordplay had now become extremely tyrannical in nature. The specialty of his swordplay was that it was both fast and accurate; with his agility that was around 80 at its base, he could casually send out 3 slashes in just one second. At his fastest, he could even send out five attacks. The Dark Crows had just flown up to him when they were engulfed in bladelight and chopped into two halves.

Meanwhile, Ji Qingwu stood in support beside Yue Zhong. Her swordplay was greatly superior to Yue Zhong's; every one of her attacks displayed both elegance and power and she did not waste any strength in her movements whatsoever. Any Dark Crow that flew within her range would immediately see only her sword, before falling from the sky lifelessly.

Little Yao Yao also made use of her Agility-based advantage by constantly flitting in and out of the action, killing the Dark Crows at the same time.

Under the consistent killing of the Special Combat Battalion, within the entire hall there were no more casualties. However, Yue Zhong's group had a few people, while there seemed to be no end to the number of Dark Crows which kept flying into the hall through the broken windows. The continuously surrounded Yue Zhong, his team, and the group of helpless guests. If this continued on, Yue Zhong would also not be able to hold on.

The guests who formed a huge part of the upper echelons of the remaining society, were currently watching the scene with pale faces and hearts filled with fear. They knew that this group of warriors under Yue Zhong could not possibly maintain their intensity, and the moment they fell everyone would die under the assault of these Dark Crows.

After the battle went on for another 5 minutes, sounds of concentrated fire rang from the outside areas.

"Reinforcements!! We're saved!!"

"It's the reinforcements, oh thank God!!"

Hearing the constant bra-tatatatat of gunfire, the distinguished guests immediately let out whoops of delight. As long as reinforcements arrived, their lives were surely saved.

This particular villa was after all the property of Wen Baoguo who was the number 2 in SY County. Its defence was naturally thick; not only were there experts who were personally commanded by Wen Baoguo, there was even a force of 200 soldiers who were fully equipped with modern weaponry.

This time, the reason that the reinforcements had arrived a little slower than expected was because the experts had all went to protect Wen Baoguo first, while the special group of 200 soldiers had also come under attack from the Dark Crowsat the same time. That was why they arrived late.

This group of soldiers under Wen Baoguo could also be considered strong, coupled with the fact they were of course amply equipped. Every soldier had the latest .05 submachine gun and the moment they entered the fray, under the concentrated barrage of bullets, numerous Dark Crows fell from the sky like rain, pouring down to the earth in various degrees of solidity with a sickening series of Splat! noises.

These Mutant Birds Dark Crows also possessed a fast speed plus their attack power was high, yet they had typically weak defences. The moment they were hit by a bullet, they would lose their combat ability and had no way of defending against the attacks from the special forces.

After losing nearly 2,000 of their comrades, the flock of Dark Crows finally could not withstand the attacks and retreated swiftly.

"Shanshan, are you alright!!" The moment the Dark Crows retreated, Wen Baoguo arrived, under the protection of 7 experts, and the first thing he did was to find his own precious daughter as he asked around worriedly.

Wen Peishan replied with an expression of fear: "Dad! I'm fine! This time, I was saved by Yue Zhong!! Without him, I would really have died already!"

Wen Baoguo looked towards Yue Zhong, before nodding slightly: "Yue Zhong! I must Thank You for saving my daughter this time."

Yue Zhong knew he had gained the trust of one of the stronger powers in SY County. Although it wouldn't matter much when it came to the bigger matters, he would still be able to move around SY County without too many problems.

Yue Zhong lightly smiled and replied courteously: "It wasn't much, it's what anybody would have done."

Yue Zhong could offend Wen Peishan without a care, but he wouldn't just go out of his way to provoke other people and reject their kind intentions without a reason.

"I'll be leaving first! Yue Zhong, thanks for saving me, I will find you tomorrow and let's hang out, I know SY County very well." Wen Peishan came in front of Yue Zhong and broke into a an extremely lovable smile towards this man whom she had despised not too long ago, before immediately turning and walking away. Although she wanted to stay behind, she could still feel the dampness which reminded her of her embarrassing accident earlier.

Tai Yiyan came to Yue Zhong's side with her perfume trailing behind her, and kissed him furiously on both cheeks as she smiled sweetly and said, "Yue Zhong!! I am Tai Yiyan, the 1st kiss was for saving me!! The 2nd kiss was for saving Peipei!! From today onwards, we're good friends! I'll find you soon for some fun!"

After that, she also turned around and left with 2 people carrying Zheng Peipei.

Su Tianyang brought 2 bear-like experts from the military and walked towards Zhou Yanxue, as he spoke tenderly, "Yanxue, are you alright? Earlier, when I saw you in danger, I was really worried!! Come, let us go back!"

Su Tianyang knew that his actions earlier must have hurt Zhou Yanxue deeply, and it would extremely difficult to win her heart again, therefore he decided to possess her body. With her beauty and demeanor, keeping her by his side as his companion was more for face than anything else. The 2 experts were Su Tianyang's subordinates who killed at his orders, and he decided that even if it came to force he would have Zhou Yanxue today.

Zhou Yanxue took a look at the handsome Su Tianyang, and realised that her past good feelings about him had disappeared only to be replaced by vehemence and disgust. She felt the man in front of her was extremely fake, vicious and cold, even worse than the smelly old men that she hated.

Zhou Yanxue took big strides and walked towards Yue Zhong before saying seriously: "Yue Zhong, I like you, and I hope to be your girlfriend!"

"Zhou Yanxue, that Zhou Yanxue actually asked out a guy of her own accord!!"

"That Yue Zhong is such a lucky bastard!!"

"What courage! She actually confessed in front of so many people, she really has guts!!"

"It's so romantic, too romantic!!"

Seeing Zhou Yanxue confessing to Yue Zhong of her own accord, the entire hall was in an uproar. Prior to the apocalypse, she was a huge celebrity, and even after the world was plunged into chaos, she retained her star status and fans, and was the goddess of many guys. This perfect woman had actually taken the initiative to confess to Yue Zhong, it was too shocking for everyone present.

Ji Qingwu saw the dauntless actions and the confession from Zhou Yanxue, and she trembled outwardly while a complicated gleam appeared in her eyes.

Chapter 0257 – Intel

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog,TheNo1Fan,Dedition

Tong Xiaoyun looked towards the absolutely beautiful Zhou Yanxue,noticing her eyes had a strange gleam. "Don't tell me I'll have to share my husband with an idol?"

In the banquet hall, countless envious and jealous gazes from the many men were piercing Yue Zhong like knives. If looks could kill, Yue Zhong would have died countless times over.

Under the envious gazes, the main character of the confession Yue Zhong actually frowned. He did not believe he had the charm to incite Zhou Yanxue to confess in front of so many people.

Su Tianyang saw the girl of his long-time affection actually confessing to another guy in public, and felt like someone had gave him a tight slap! His expression turned extremely steely.

Su Tianyang stepped forward with a frozen expression as he coldly ordered: "Yanxue, you must have been frightened badly! Follow me back to recuperate okay? Go bring Miss Yanxue back, she's tired!" He said as gave the orders to his men.

Hearing those orders, the 2 bulky military experts immediately stepped forward towards Zhou Yanxue. Su Tianyang was determined to use force.

Zhou Yanxue's face turned pale as she stepped forward and lowered her head towards Yue Zhong's ear. Her suttle flowery fragrance softly wisped sound him as she said softly: "I know all about the powers of SY Couny like the back of my hand. As long as you protect me, I'm willing to tell you everything and be your woman."

During these turbulent times, other than some exceptional women who relied on their own strengths, the rest who did not have any background could only rely on strong people. Zhou Yanxue's influential family had disappeared with no news. She still remained free of captivity because she was a celebrity, and the few powers that lusted after her were keeping each other in check. Now it was evident that Su Tianyang was about to offend some of them with his intention to forcefully take her, hence she could only rely on Yue Zhong.

As Yue Zhong smelled the fragrance from Zhou Yanxue's body and heard her words, his heart was moved. Waving his hands, he signalled 2 of his Special Combat warriors to step out and block the 2 military experts.

The 2 military experts had just rushed forward only to come face to face with the 2 Special Combat soldiers, causing their eyes flashed with a complicated gleam. The Military men could feel an extremely oppressive aura from their bodies. It was just as apparent that they had definitely seen blood, and many must have lost their lives at their hands.

Su Tianyang looked at the 2 warriors under Yue Zhong who were blocking his own, and his face turned an even uglier colour. Calming down outwardly, he spoke out sensibly: "Zhang Lai, Niu Jin! Stand down!"

Although Su Tianyang had utmost confidence in his own experts, Yue Zhong had too many experts on his side. If they really made a move, his side would be at a disadvantage.

Su Tianyang steeled himself impressively and then spewed out words threateningly: "Yue Zhong, Zhou Yanxue is my girlfriend. You actually want to split us apart and steal her? If you return her to me we can still be friends. In SY County, whoever is my friend, can get to enjoy tons of benefits. As for my enemies, they have been wiped off the face of the earth!"

Yue Zhong cocked his eyebrows at Su Tianyang and reached out to wrap his arms around Zhou Yanxue's extremely flexible waist, as he coldly laughed: "Yanxue, is he your boyfriend?"

"No! He has always been pursuing me. However, I don't see anything in him it seems it's just his wishful thinking!" Zhou Yanxue laughed seductively at Yue Zhong, her words cutting deeply at Su Tianyang's heart.

Zhou Yanxue had always been someone amicable to everybody, but now she was extremely clear that she had to dissolve all relations with Su Tianyang and gave all her attention to Yue Zhong. Only then could she be valued on the level she desired. As for offending the powerful Su Family in SY County, she could care less.

"Good! Good! Good! Yue Zhong, today's humiliation… I will return it in the future!" Su Tianyang's expression had turned extremely ugly and his gaze was like that of a venomous snake staring at Yue Zhong and Zhou Yanxue. Abruptly he turned around and left with his 2 henchmen in tow.

Wen Baoguo came to Yue Zhong's side and reminded him: "Yue Zhong, Su Tianyang is a really vengeful person. Thus you must be careful."

Su Tianyang had intended to take away Zhou Yanxue in front of Wen Baoguo and it infuriated him. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's presence, he would have lashed out on the spot. Zhou Yanxue was a celebrity and if Su Tianyang had brought her away quietly, Wen Baoguo could turn a blind eye. However, intending to abduct her in front of so many people like a bandit was tantamount to not giving Wen Baoguo face. So of course even if Yue Zhong had not acted, Wen Baoguo would have immediately clashed with Su Tianyang.

Yue Zhong lightly smiled and said, "I know, Mayor Wen."

Within the villa, there were human and Dark Crow corpses everywhere, as the remaining guests left in a scattered manner, the banquet had somehow ended.

In Yue Zhong's living quarters, he was sitting on his huge bed, while the huge celebrity Zhou Yanxue was currently seated beside him, carefully massaging his legs for him!

Yue Zhong looked at the stunning beauty in front of him as he waved his hands to stop what she was doing. "Speak! Tell me all that you know. If the value of the intel is sufficient, i can give you your freedom!! I can also assure that you'll never be bullied ever again!"

Intel was extremely important. All those years throughout history, countless successful battles have been due to the amount of effort put into gathering information. A crucial piece of information at the right time can help turn the tide in any situation.

Yue Zhong had little to absolutely no information on SY County's happenings and with someone who thoroughly understood the network of power and information giving it to him, he would definitely shelter that person. Furthermore, once Su Tianyang had expressed enmity against him, he did not mind giving him a few stinging slaps.

Zhou Yanxue gave Yue Zhong an enchanting smile. "I don't want freedom, I just want to be your woman! As long as you don't leave me behind, I will be your most loyal concubine!"

Zhou Yanxue was not like Wen Peishan who had the protection from a father with power. Her looks were a double edged sword, she could only rely on someone strong because without someone she would be enslaved. It happened that the person she had decided to rely on was Yue Zhong.

Zhou Yanxue gave Yue Zhong a light laugh and proceeded to tell him everything she knew.

As Zhou Yanxue was experienced at mingling and often took part in various gatherings and events, she often got closer with her fans and friends. Couple this with the fact that many guys wanted to impress her with their knowledge, and she often reaped a lot in information.

Through Zhou Yanxue's vivid explanation, Yue Zhong started to understand the situation within SY County and why Su Tianyang would hate him so much.

SY County's governance was run by 2 powers: Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde. Both were incredibly influential people, and the control they had over the government was large. Within the entire county government, there was no 3rd party's influence.

As for SY County's military, it was filled with many different people, with different ambitions and traditions. It had a regiment with 6000 people. This regiment was formed from the remaining soldiers during the onset of the apocalypse.

When the world was changing, the 2 Infantry Divisions that were going through an exercise had suffered huge losses. The total number of soldiers who survived numbered a little over 2 regiments, and the highest commanding officers had faced unfortunate endings. The next highest commanding officers were only Lieutenant Colonels. Amongst the remaining soldiers there were 5 Lieutenant Colonels, and these 5 each commanded a small division. After forging through countless battles, the 5 divisions expanded continuously. In the end they formed the current military power of Long Hai County.

The 5 major powers of the military were Su Dongming, Shen Hongyang, Luo Tianyi, Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng. These 5 all held some form of power over the soldiers of the military. Of course, amongst them there were some who held more power and some less. With Su Dongming holding the largest faction of soldiers, he resultingly became the nominal commander of the Long Hai County military. Unless it was a joint effort though, he could only command his faction. Wanting to move the other factions required the approval of the other powers.

The Long Hai County's military had differing views and opinions and they naturally disagreed on their views of Yue Zhong, a thorn in their side. Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi who were the 2 major powers, voted to wipe Yue Zhong out quickly and planned on taking over everything in his current existing system. Shen Hongyang and Qian Weimin voted for pacifying Yue Zhong and forging a relationship. Assuming it didn't work then they could form a temporary alliance and take care of Yue Zhong, by then they naturally wouldn't suffer much loss for waiting. Liu Huifeng was neutral and did not have any stance.

TN: Author wrote Liu Huifeng's name twice. Also, Long Hai army is same as SY Army.

It was precisely because of Su Dongming's attitude that Su Tianyang had disliked Yue Zhong from the get go. This led to him trying to be domineering and not put Yue Zhong in his sights at all.

These matters that concerned the internal affairs of SY County, Lǚ Níng naturally wouldn't tell Yue Zhong. As for the ordinary survivors, they simply could not fathom the ongoings amongst the top brass. It was only someone like Zhou Yanxue who often turned up at such events and gatherings amongst the elites, that she could get such detailed insights.

"So that was the case!!" After hearing Zhou Yanxue's explanation, Yue Zhong finally understood why Shen Xue had given in.

SY County's military had only over 2000 people just at the beginning of the apocalypse, and after regaining SY County, they had lost another 200 people. However they now had over 6000 that formed an entire infantry division, but the bulk of them were new recruits. The ones that could really match up against Yue Zhong were only a few battalions. The moment they full-scale clashed with Yue Zhong, they would suffer huge losses.

That day when Shen Xue attacked Yue Zhong, she had actually brought Shen Hongyang's most capable battalion. If that battalion had been annihilated by Yue Zhong, Shen Hongyang's power would have diminished by half. It was because of that, that Shen Xue had chosen to compromise and not attack Ning Guang County.

After hearing Zhou Yanxue's extensive intelligence report, Yue Zhong finally felt that he had some knowledge of the current affairs in SY County and wasn't as ignorant about it as when he first arrived.

"Damn it!! Damn it!! Damn you Yue Zhong!!" Su Tianyang's current face was contorted, as he picked up the nearby antique chair and smashed it down violently on the ground.

A few pretty ladies were kneeling in front of Su Tianyang, their bodies trembling as they tried to brave Su Tianyang's tantrum.

"Su Chen! Within 3 days, I want to see Yue Zhong's head!!" Su Tianyang had just smashed the once priceless antique to the floor to vent his frustrations, but it didn't really work. He turned around and ordered the silent and dark-skinned yet robust young man with calloused hands.

"Yes! Young Master!" Su Chen had a look of indifference as he replied. He was the butler of the Su Family, and had been saved by Su Dongming once before the apocalypse. Of course he had since sold his life to the Su Family.

Chapter 0258 – Peng Mengde

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

Su Chen glanced icily at the 4 ladies kneeling in front of Su Tianyang as he asked coldly: "Young Master, what about these 4?"

Su Tianyang glanced at the 4 extremely beautiful ladies, as he frowned slightly. He had given the order to kill Yue Zhong in his blind rage, and forgot that they were there, if this matter was to leak out, it wouldn't bode well. However, these 4 ladies were the cream of the crop amongst beauties, and were extremely meticulous in their service to him, and he couldn't bear to kill them at the moment.

One of the taller, slender ladies immediately begged: "Young Master Su!! Don't kill me!! I have not heard anything! I'm willing to do anything!!"

"Don't kill me!!"

The other 3 beauties also had expressions of fear as they started grabbing Su Tianyang's legs with their voluptuous bodies, begging pitifully.

Their pleading did the opposite, however, as Su Tianyang steeled his heart and gave the extremely merciless order: "Kill them all! Don't dirty the place!"

These women had to pay with their lives for a mistake that he Su Tianyang made.

Su Chen acknowledged with a nod of his head, and shot forward like an arrow, grabbing one of the women by the throat and breaking her windpipe. He followed up by grabbing another woman's head, twisting it lightly into an angle that defied nature. After killing 2, he took big strides forward and viciously chop down on the remaining ladies' heads, leaving 2 deep dents in their heads, killing them instantly.

In just a few short breaths after killing the 4 service ladies, Su chen had already dragged their bodies out silently and left Su Tianyang's room.

"Yue Zhong! It's all your fault!! I want you dead!!" Su Tianyang's face was once again twisted with fury as he smashed another 5 pieces of antique furniture. In his mind he wasn't to blame, so he pushed the blame of the deaths of the 4 ladies, as well as his fury and hatred unto Yue Zhong.

Early next morning after breakfast, Wei Jueguang drove the Rolls Royce with the beauty Xiao Shishi and fetched Yue Zhong to Peng Mingde's residence.

Peng Mingde was of 46 – 47 years, with defining facial features. His brows had a hint of a stern expression, yet not a single strand of white hair was seen even though he was middle-aged. In fact he remained looking extremely youthful.

The moment they met, Peng Mingde immediately spoke with shock: "Yue Zhong, did you know you've invited huge trouble this time!"

Yue Zhong's expression did not change as he quickly responded: "What type of trouble?"

Peng Mingde replied: "The army had decided to dispatch 3 regiments to deal with you. Tell me if this is huge trouble or not?"

3 regiments meant over 3000 soldiers, it could even be a 4000-strong army. If this type of huge army were the military-trained soldiers from before the apocalypse, all of Yue Zhong's efforts in establishing himself could come to a halt.

However, since Yue Zhong had received vital information about the actual flaws and strengths of the army from Zhou Yanxue, Yue Zhong wasn't flustered at all. Their current core was only the 2 regiments of a thousand over people, after expanding into a 6000-strong army, the might still needed time to be trained up.

Yue Zhong himself had 7 battalions' worth of soldiers that numbered in 2000s, if it came down to a clash, unless the army really went all out with all they had, Yue Zhong still had some of hope of success.

Yue Zhong spoke out with a strong killing intent: "If the soldiers come, the general defends. If the water comes, the soil will block it. If the army really wants to fight, then I shall give them the fight of their lives! I have 3 regiments worth of soldiers. I want to test for myself if the army's 3 regiments are stronger, or my army is stronger!"

Peng Mingde narrowed his eyes, as he carefully assessed Yue Zhong. He smiled and spoke. "You really are a hero! I have already rejected the proposal of the army. After all, as humans, we should not fighting amongst ourselves. Our current greatest enemies are the zombies! As long as we wipe them out, our humankind can once again repopulate the earth."

"Yue Zhong, my dream is to build a new world without zombies, everyone is equal, all is fair, upright, transparent. Everyone is free, everyone prospers, and equality for all with no exploitation. Are you willing to help me with this?" Peng Mingde had a passionate expression as he spoke to Yue Zhong.

Most university students were hot-blooded and passionate about the world, and were easy to influence and manipulate. Peng Mingde wanted to use the idea of rebuilding the world to hook Yue Zhong in.

This was after all under the banner of righteousness. Throughout history, countless young people have given their all for the cause of a just, fair and equal new world for all.

"I have brought 5000 tonnes of meat to sell, I wonder what items you might want to offer in exchange? If you are not interested in my rations, then I'll leave." Yue Zhong gazed at Peng Mingde indifferently. He had no interest in the new world order that Peng Mingde was raving about.

While Peng Mingde was capable, he was lacking in his guidance of his kid. His son had actually caused so much trouble that he should have been executed, but this type of degenerate was still allowed to live under Peng Mingde's protection, furthermore, it was a good lifestyle. If Yue Zhong really sold his life to Peng Mingde just based on the ideals he was talking about, his brain must have been knocked silly.

Yue Zhong did not have lofty dreams. Currently he was living life to the fullest, and was the leader of 30,000 people. With just an order, he could immediately execute over a 100 people. To throw all that away and be someone else's dog just because of some illusionary ideal? He wasn't willing.

"This young man is not a simple character." Peng Mingde was thrown off by Yue Zhong's practicality, as his brows furrowed he continued carefully sizing him up.

Peng Mingde decided to throw all talks about ideals and righteousness to the side, before he replied pragmatically: "The terms of the negotiations will be handled by my people later on! However, I hope to at least fulfill the quota of a 1000 tonnes!"

Ideals and righteousness are used as tools by Peng Mingde to win people over. Those who succumb to the idealistic thinking were perfect for being passionate cannon fodder. In fact, this was not a bad tactic. Under the pretext of ideals and righteousness, Peng Mingde had actually gathered over 200 youthful people as his Young Guards. The results made it so they were all crazy supporters, to the extent that they were willing to give their lives up for him.

Yue Zhong lightly smiled before giving the same terms he gave Wen Baoguo: "I can gift you 1 ton of rations as a sign of our friendship. However, the remainder will have to be matched by items that are suitable and to my liking, otherwise, no deal."

Peng Mingde immediately laughed and responded graciously: "Since this is the case, then let me gift to you the Rolls Royce and the beauty Xiao Shishi as a sign of our friendship as well. I hope we can always be friends."

Yue Zhong looked at Peng Mingde and laughed lightly: "Mm! I hope we'll always be friends!"

Peng Mingde was indeed extremely capable. Yue Zhong could not help but have a good impression of him. However even if the father was a hero, the son was a bastard. Just based on the aspect of his upbringing of his kid, it cost him some points with Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong brought the Rolls Royce and Xiao Shishi that Peng Mingde presented him and headed towards Wen Baoguo's villa, before leaving with his entire party.

At a nearby river, there was a group of survivors gathered together, looking towards the river with a look of greed. Right beside the river, the water was full of nutrients. There were countless thick Mutated Vegetables growing, even abundant aquatic life was showing in the waters.

Although the river seemed to be flourishing with food, few people were willing to go there and gather food. Only when they were starved beyond belief and had no options, would some pale and weak women brave the danger to pluck some of the vegetation at the outskirts. There were some who were under the control of SY County, and if they didn't go look for food, those who were waiting for them would definitely be killed.

TN: These 2 paragraphs don't seem to make sense.

Dedition: He's trying to say that the river looks beautiful and bountiful (1st paragraph), but it is in fact misleading and dangerous and that some of the people there are, in reality, forced to be there (2nd paragraph).

Zhang He carefully climbed out from the water, in his hands, he had a few river prawns that were the size of his fingers, as well as a heap of shellfish and mussels. He knew there was a shoal nearby, and the Mutant Beasts inside the water seldom appeared there. However, nothing was for certain, he had witnessed his partner being torn apart by a Mutant Beast just 3 days ago, and fresh blood had dyed the shoal. He could vividly recall the despair and fear of his friend when he was torn in two. His friend was only 11, Zhang He himself, 12.

Zhang He looked at the few river prawns and heaved a sigh of relief, these river prawns could be exchanged for one or 2 jin of cornmeal, which could feed him, his brother and sister for one or two full meals.

Zhang He looked towards his left and right, before keeping the river prawns inside a plastic bag, and hid it in his clothes. He took the mussels and shellfish and placed them in another plastic bag, before digging up some wild vegetation that could be eaten, before walking towards the exit.

"You, come over here and pay your taxes!!" A middle aged man in uniform saw Zhang He approaching from the riverside and called out to him with a wooden expression.

Right beside the man in uniform, there were 7 burly men. All those who tried to make a living from the riverside had to pay them taxes, otherwise they would receive a beating, and if they were beaten to death, they would be thrown into the river to be fed to those monsters.

6 extremely frail looking women helplessly presented their spoils to these tax officials. Even after being skimmed by them once, they would still be skimmed another time by the other underground societies as protection fees.

Zhang He walked towards them frigidly, as he handed them the plastic bag filled with the mussels, shellfish and wild vegetation.

"These are yours! You can go!" After taking over half of the items in the plastic bag and throwing them into a basket, he threw the plastic bag with the remaining items back to Zhang He.

Zhang He received the bag that was reduced one, and wanted to turn around to leave.

"Wait a minute!!" The tax officer seemed to have suddenly thought of something, as he grabbed onto Zhang He, and ordered the 7 burly men: "Hold him down!"

Dedition: You need 7 big guys to hold down a 12 year old?

Chapter 0259 – Zhang He

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition,TheNo1Fan

As Zhang He struggled, the tax officer opened up his shirt and patted his tiny body, before finding the bag of prawns with a satisfied expression as he said, "Stinky brat! You want to pull a fast one over me, you're still lacking. Because you tried to evade tax, these prawns will be confiscated."

"Return them to me! Please just return them to me!! I caught those myself!!" Zhang He shouted out struggling, as his eyes turned red. Those prawns meant that his family could last for a few more days, without them, his family would go hungry.

"Damn it! You better know what's good for you!" The tax officer's face turned darker, as he waved his hands, which led the 7 burly brutes to start kicking and punching Zhang He.

Zhang He was after all just a kid, after that round of beating, he was quickly covered in bruises, before being thrown in a corner.

"Whoever dares to evade tax will face the same consequences!" The tax official glared coldly at all the other frail ladies present. He had to use the cold, harsh reality to shock these people, that way his job would go on smoothly.

The survivors who had come forward to pay tax, had seen such scenes countless of times, and were numb to it.

"How can you do this to a kid!!" Right at this time, a furious voice resounded out.

The tax officer turned his head towards the voice. He was just in time to see a few young men and women dressed neatly, and could tell with one look these survivors were not the common survivors.

The person who had verbally reprimanded the tax officer was Wen Peishan, who was dressed in red, making her look incredibly innocent yet sexy at the same time.

The tax officer glanced greedily at Wen Peishan. After all, most women had gone frail and lost their looks and health during the apocalypse, while someone young with such fair-skin and a healthy glow like Wen Peishan was rare.

The tax officer looked at Wen Peishan and responded neither hastily nor slowly: "I am doing my job according to the rules! Miss, if you have any grievances or complaints, please take it up with my superiors!"

While the tax officer had some sort of background, he wasn't willing to come to loggerheads with Wen Peishan, who anybody can tell is not from a simple background as well.

"You're an asshole!!" Wen Peishan scolded a little agitatedly. However she was brought up well, and was usually more reserved. She didn't know how to deal with bullies, and could only resort to scolding.

Yue Zhong looked on at the scene, and slightly frowned. While what the tax officer did was indeed overboard, they were in a chaotic time, if the tax officer did not show some form of harshness, he might not even be able to collect a single tax.

"Yue Zhong, help me teach this asshole a lesson!!" Wen Peishan could not think of anyway to discipline the tax officer and decided to turn to Yue Zhong for help.

Yue Zhong took big strides forward. He decided he could not stand the overboard actions of the tax officer as well.

The tax officer looked at Yue Zhong approaching with alarm: "What do you think you're doing? I'm just doing my job!!"

The 7 burly men also stepped forward to surround Yue Zhong, staring at him with vicious gazes.

Yue Zhong stared coldly at the tax officer and said: "Your takings are obviously over 50%. I don't believe the top brass had actually set such a ridiculous amount! Do you want to cough up the excess, or do you not want to see the sun ever again?"

The top brass of SY County would definitely not be so stupid to engage in a 50% tax. However, it was that as the line went further down, the requirements became more absurd. In truth, SY County only expressed that those who went out to forage for wild vegetables and fishing would only have to pay 20% tax, and as for these outrageous tax officials who took more than 50%, the remaining 30% went to their own pockets.

The tax officer saw that his tricks were exposed, as he stared at Yue Zhong and said: "I am Zhang Xueming, My cousin is the Deputy Commissioner of the Inland Revenue, Wei Tong! Who are you?!"

The tax bureau, regardless of the apocalypse, was a department with a lot of power. Especially after the end of the world, those who were in power had huge influence, Wei Tong could become the Deputy Commissioner must have been due to his wide network of contacts. Zhang Xueming had hoped to use his cousin's name to cause Yue Zhong to back off, so that everyone can continue peacefully.

Yue Zhong directly pointed out Wen Peishan's identity: "Slap yourself! Otherwise you won't see the sun anymore. She is Mayor Wen's daughter Wen Peishan."

Zhang Xueming instantly turned pale, Mayor Wen was one of the 2 major powers in SY County, with just a flick of his hand, he could call for the deaths of measly people like Wei Tong and Zhang Xueming. This was a world where human lives were almost worthless, he himself was just a small fish, even if he disappeared tomorrow, no one would care, instead there would be many people who would celebrate his departure.

"It's my fault!! I was despicable! It's all my fault!! Miss Wen, I won't dare do this again!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! Please let me off just this once, I was also doing things according to orders!!" Zhang Xueming had kneeled in front of Wen Peishan, and was smacking himself profusely, while crying out pitifully.

Zhang Xueming had forcefully slapped his own mouth, to the point where blood started to flow from the corners of his mouth.

Wen Peishan's heart softened and said: "Forget it! I'll let you off this time. Give the confiscated items back to the kid!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xueming then stood up, before walking personally to Zhang He and returned his items: "Little brat, this are all items gifted by Miss Wen, hurry go and thank her!"

Zhang He held on to his prawns tightly like a wounded wolf, as he looked at the well-dressed good-looking Wen Peishan. Looking down he mumbled extremely reluctantly: "Thank you!"

After that, he immediately turned around and limped towards the distance.

Zhang Xueming looked at Zhang He who had looked extremely defiant as he frowned and asked Wen Peishan: "Damn it! That little brat doesn't know his manners! Miss Wen, shall I go catch him back and teach him a lesson?"

"No need!" Although Wen Peishan was ticked off by Zhang He's unruly behaviour, she was after all extremely kind-hearted, and did not want to make things difficult for Zhang He.

Yue Zhong looked at the few frail female survivors plucking the wild vegetation, before looking at those survivors staring into the horizon blankly, as he frowned, and seemed to ponder, before walking towards Zhang He.

"Wait!! Yue Zhong wait for me!!" Wen Peishan saw that Yue Zhong was moving, as she hastily chased after him.

Zhang He had just moved a distance, and saw Yue Zhong chasing after him from behind, as he gripped his plastic bag of prawns even tighter and asked warily: "What are you following me for?"

Yue Zhong immediately took out a huge bag of bread and held it out to Zhang He asking: "Do you want to eat your fill?"

Zhang He looked at the plastic bag in Yue Zhong's hands, as he swallowed his drool, while a look of greed shone in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and shouted out: "I won't hand my sister over to you people!! Even if you give us more food, I will not sell my younger sister away!!!"

Yue Zhong frowned as he knew Zhang He had misunderstood: "Younger sister?"

Yue Zhong immediately offered his conditions: "I want you to work for me! Help me do things! In exchange I will let you eat your fill everyday, and give you half a jin of cornmeal. If you do your tasks well, I will even give you cans of meat and dried pork!"

This Zhang He in front of him was only 12, just a kid

Yet he had courage and principles that was lacking in some adults. While the river was bountiful, and many survivors gathered, few dared to venture in, to actually fish. Since Yue Zhong wanted to gain a foothold in SY County, he naturally required someone who knew the workings on the ground.

He had already made friends with the upper echelon of society like Wen Peishan, Lu Chenguang and Tai Yiyan these people, he also needed someone on the ground.

Zhang He had courage, and his own resolve. Yue Zhong admired that and did not mind helping him out.

Zhang He's eyes grew bright, with an expression of hope and asked: "You can really let me eat my fill?"

Truthfully, with regards to a large number of the survivors in SY County, as long as there was food, they would be willing to do things. Zhang He had wanted to even join gangs, but those gangs did not want scrawny brats without attacking strength or combat power.

Tong Xiaoyun walked to Yue Zhong's side and eyed the little beggar-like boy and spoke on Yue Zhong's behalf: "How would Brother Yue lie to you? Our rations are really beyond comparison."

Zhang He looked at the pretty Tong Xiaoyun and the group of special soldiers behind Yue Zhong, and immediately kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and swore: "Benefactor, I don't ask for much, just for my younger brother and sister to eat their fill. I'm willing to give my life for you!! Whatever you ask of me, I would do it!"

Zhang He was young, but mature. Those who could pull out such a troop was definitely not a small power in SY County, and he would only benefit from relying on him. His conditions were not outrageous as well, as long as his younger siblings could eat, he would be willing to slave for Yue Zhong.

In times like this where human lives weren't worth much, for the price of a meal, countless survivors were willing to sell themselves. It was just that in this cruel world, even if you are willing, you may not find a buyer.

Yue Zhong curiously asked: "Get up! I want to know, near this river, why won't those people go and fish?"

The river that surrounded SY County's borders, was a huge treasure in Yue Zhong's eyes, and the water was extremely beneficial in the growth of the plants and even aquatic life. If the river was made use of well, providing a constant source of food for a few ten thousands of people would not be an issue.

Since the upper brass of SY County were not idiots, there must be a problem for them to not make use of the river.

Zhang He hesitated: "How do I address you, benefactor?"

"I am Yue Zhong!" Yue Zhong replied in a deep voice.

Zhang He swiftly continued: "Boss Yue, the fact that this river has many aquatic life is not false, but similarly, there are all sorts of fearsome beasts in there. There are snakes that grow over tens of metres, there's a big black fish that can swallow a person whole, and there are some huge crabs that can cut a person in two with just a claw! At first, there were many people fishing, but very quickly, they were all preyed on by these wild beasts! After the death count hit over hundreds, very few people are willing to fish anymore!"

A few hundred people had died in the river, the rest of them had been frightened off. Naturally no one was willing to fish anymore in those waters. Therefore, even though there was a river surrounding the county, the people of SY County were still lacking.

Yue Zhong continued: "Didn't the government or army make any moves to deal with those Mutant Beasts?"

The Mutant Beasts might be extremely terrifying, but they were not invincible. Since SY County had so many survivors, there would definitely be experts within the government and military, dealing with those Mutant Beasts should not be an issue.

Zhang He thought for a while, before replying: "There were indeed some experts who stepped forward to deal with those Mutant Beasts, and they did manage to kill a few, but after that, the Mutant Beasts got even fiercer. Even those experts were eaten, now there are few experts willing to come and hunt these monsters."

Experts were after all a rare resource, with every death meant one less expert. There were simply too many Mutant Beasts hiding within the river, and after the government and military lost over 20 powerful Enhancers, they halted all assaults on the river Mutant Beasts. The price was too heavy to bear.

As Zhang He and Yue Zhong continued talking, more details of the life of the lower members of society began to emerge. The people in the worst situations were the lower members of society in SY County. Although the upper brass had given the order for some emergency rations to be handed out to preserve these survivors' lives, as there was greed, countless rations were siphoned by greedy officials, and many of these survivors did not obtain their rightful ration. There were countless women selling their bodies for just a bun. There were even people willing to sell their children at various survivor camps.

Under Zhang He's guidance, Yue Zhong's party came to an alley near a sewer, where the buildings were dilapidated, and stinking human waste everywhere.

On the street, there were various survivors sitting down numbly by the road, their bodies giving off an odor, while a large number of mosquitoes and flies were currently circling them.

There was a woman with tattered clothes, dark eyebags, sunken face, and emitting a sour smell from her body grabbing a little girl's hands kneeling on the floor in front of Yue Zhong pleading profusely: "This master!! Please, buy my daughter!! Just a box of instant noodles, as long as you pay a box of instant noodles, I'll sell her to you!! She knows how to do everything, bring her with you, and she can help you do anything!!"

The little girl of roughly 11-12 years, whose hair was in a ponytail, and had starved to the point where she looked like a little beansprout, was also kneeling and begging: "Master, please buy me. I'm willing to do anything!"

Tong Xiaoyun saw this and she could not help but ask, "Auntie! Isn't she your own daughter? How can you bear to sell her away??"

Wen Peishan saw the scene in front of her and could not believe her eyes. It was her first time coming to this sort of place, and in her thinking, selling one's son or daughter was something that happened only in books or the societies of old. The SY County that her father was governing over definitely would not have something like that.

Chapter 0260 – The Truest Scum!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

Chapter 260: Scum!

The woman who had dark circles around her eyes, she spoke in a grieved manner. "We haven't had anything to eat for 2 days! 2 days ago, we managed to eat some buns because I let someone have his way with me for 1 night. These 2 days, no one is willing to use food to buy my services! If this goes on, Qiqi and I will starve to death. If I sell her to you, she can at least live on!"

Wen Peishan looked at the mother-daughter pair, and her heart was full of sympathy: "Yue Zhong! They're so pitiful!! Help them please!!"

Yue Zhong glanced at them before giving 2 pieces of chocolates, "I'm buying both of you! But let me say this first, since I've bought you. You are my people. If in the future, you disregard my orders, I will be merciless! If you agree, eat the chocolates!"

Yue Zhong did not lack food, but he did lack people. Accepting these people under his wing weren't an issue.

"Thank you master! Thank you master!!" The moment the mother-daughter pair received the chocolates, their eyes flashed with delight, and thanked Yue Zhong profusely.

Especially the mother, Zhang Qiong, who thought that the best scenario would be Yue Zhong buying her daughter, never did she imagine that she would also be accepted by Yue Zhong. Even if Yue Zhong wanted her to strip in front of everybody now, she would do so without hesitation, to show her gratitude towards him.

During the initial stages of the apocalypse, as their bodies were more robust, men had a slight advantage over women. However, with the flow of time the strong men mostly died in the fight against zombies. Others perished as a result of power struggles with other strong people, even against some Mutant Beasts as well. Currently, SY County's ratio of women to men was huge.

Zhang Qiong and her daughter were not beauties, and naturally would not catch the eye of any groups around them. These groups were not willing to squander precious rations to care for the 2 of them, hence they had no one to rely on. Now that Yue Zhong was willing to keep them, their hearts were filled with gratitude.

Wen Peishan saw that Yue Zhong had accepted the mother-daughter pair, and she was surprised as she sighed in her heart: "He is actually a good man!!"

"Please! Take me in! I can do anything!"

"Master, please take me in, no matter how you want to play me, I will definitely make you satisfied."

"Master, please take in us mother and daughter!! We are willing to wait on you!!"

After Yue Zhong took in Zhang Qiong and her daughter, the entire alley went into an uproar, and a few dozens of women surrounded Yue Zhong, pleading with him profusely. They wanted to live as well.

Yue Zhong frowned, and called out in a heavy voice, "All of you, keep quiet, whoever makes any more noise will have to scram!"

The women instantly became silent and looked at Yue Zhong with a little fear while awaiting the next words that would decide their future.

Yue Zhong called Zhang Qiong over and asked, "Zhang Qiong! I want to buy a street to accommodate all of you, how much rations would that cost?

"Master! You would require 50 tonnes of rations to buy this street!" Zhang Qiong carefully calculated before replying.

*TN: 回大爷的话！roughly translates to "Replying Master!" which doesn't make sense in the english context, but in chinese, it was quite common in the past for subjects of the king to always refer to themselves as replying the king before continuing their sentences.

In the age, houses were not valuable anymore. In SY County, as it could accommodate over a 100,000 survivors, 1 normal alley for survivors to stay in would not cost much, 50 tonnes of food was sufficient to buy it with some balance.

Yue Zhong immediately called out 2 of his Special Combat warriors: "Song Wen, Kong Wei, you guys make a trip with Zhang Qiong, go buy the entire street."

As long as they did not meet someone too overly powered, Song Wen and Kong Wei could easily deal with 20 delinquents or troublemakers. It was enough to ensure that Zhang Qiong would not be taken advantage of.

Yue Zhong looked at the women around him and he said coldly, "As for you all, stay here and await my orders!"

Those women, including their children, numbered a few dozens, and Yue Zhong could not bring them and move around.

The group heard his orders and stayed there obediently, not daring to wander about.

"He really does have the capital!!" Zhang He looked at Yue Zhong easily taking in all the women and kids around, and his mind was set, and decided to follow Yue Zhong wholeheartedly.

"Si Xian, Xiao Lan, I'm back!!" Zhang He excitedly ran into a dilapidated garden and hollered loudly. He had followed a capable person, and from today onwards, the trio wouldn't have to worry about hunger anymore.

However, the moment Zhang He stepped into the garden, he saw his younger brother Zhang Si Xian beaten up till his entire face was swollen, and was lying on the ground motionless. His precious younger sister was nowhere to be seen, and a foreboding feeling arose in his heart.

Zhang Si Xian, who had just recently turned 12, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, as he looked to his brother with a stricken expression and said, "Big Brother!!! Meimei had been captured by Shi Ergou that bastard! Go save her quickly!! Otherwise it will be too late!!"

Dedition: The real question is…what did the brothers expect their youngest brother to do to save her?

Zhang He's face turned pale, as he immediately kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and begged: "Boss Yue, please help me save my sister!! As long as you save her I'm willing to do anything to repay you!! Even if you want my life, I'd give it to you willingly!"

Yue Zhong furrowed his brows and asked: "What sort of person is Shi Ergou?"

"He's scum!" Zhang He spat out as he was kneeling.

Shi Ergou was a scum. Prior to the apocalypse he was a watchdog for a gambling den and a loan shark. He was a resident of SY County. Then, after the change of the world he made use of his various connections to engage in many dealings, and became a huge figure in the underground scene. All the while obtaining numerous benefits.

Currently, Shi Ergou had a small force of 50 fighters. Thus he was someone people didn't dare offend in this part of the county. Those who antagonized him had their families broken, mostly because he was supported by various backers, all of whom were strong.

"How is it? Boss! How are the goods this time? She is that little dog Zhang He's younger sister Zhang Yulan!" A huge burly man, with decent features and an aura of self-righteousness pointed towards a little girl of about 11 years old. She had snow-white, delicate and pretty looking skin.

"Not bad!! She's decent!!" Shi Ergou's eyes flashed as he broke into a smile. Leisurely he reached his hand out to grab Zhang Yulan's face.

"Pei!" Zhang Yulan looked at Shi Ergou's disgusting expression, and directly spat at him.

As Shi Ergou did not have enough time to block and he received the spit on his face. He reached to wipe his face with his hand and he proceeded to lick his hand of the saliva, and said in an extremely perverted manner, "How fragrant!!"

TN: I was truly disturbed by this. And I don't think there's anybody's saliva in the world that actually smells good.

Dedition: *Spits on hand and shows it for inspection* I beg to differ…

Ulamog: I distinctly smell chicken and chips. I'm sure of it. As for the Scum…. Torture is not enough….

Zhang Yulan broke out in cold sweat and felt the hair rise on the back of her neck, as she used her voice that had yet to mature and shouted, "Damn pervert!!"

"Little bitch, you dare to curse me!!" Shi Ergou's eyes flashed icily. His palm immediately slapped Zhang Yulan's face, causing her pretty face to swell, as he laughed coldly: "Don't worry, I like you very much. I will train you properly, to become the most shameless bitch! The esteemed buyer likes shameless bitches like you the most. Once you are delivered to him, he will definitely guide you well! However before then, let me taste you first!"

Ulamog: OK. Maybe slightly less torture time for this guy. So that I can spend more time on the buyer. *sharpens Hatchet*

After that, Shi Ergou reached out towards Zhang Yulan's clothes.

Zhang Yulan's heart started to beat faster in fear, and tears started to stream down her pale face.

"Boss!! There's someone killing their way in!!" Right at this time, one of Shi Ergou's subordinate rushed in and shouted out loudly.

"How many are there?" Shi Ergou furrowed his brows as he stopped his intention to violate Zhang Yulan, and questioned his subordinates.

"4 of them, there are only 4 of them!" The subordinate cried out in alarm.

Shi Ergou immediately lashed out in fury: "You have 50 people, there are only 4 of them, and you can't take them down, do you guys eat shit or something?"

The subordinate quivered in fear and exclaimed, "They are experts! They are all high level Enhancers!!!"

Shi Ergou's face instantly fell. Enhancers had strength that vastly surpassed normal people, and one Enhancer could take on 10 people with no issues. He had 3 or 4 Enhancers amongst his underlings, but they were at most Level 3 or 4, and were not much stronger than normal people. Against higher level Enhancers, they were basically useless.

Right at this time, following a huge explosive bang, one of Shi Ergou's subordinate was kicked in, and violently smashed into a table, knocking the table away.

Yue Zhong strided in.

Shi Ergou looked at Yue Zhong, as he immediately bowed in a respectful manner and said: "May I ask who you are? Dare I ask what business might this esteemed guest have with us?"

Zhang Yulan looked towards the previously arrogant and despotic Shi Ergou treating Yue Zhong with respect, before looking at Yue Zhong, her eyes flashing with a strange gaze.

"Hand her to me!" Yue Zhong pointed to Zhang Yulan.

Shi Ergou put on an extremely complicated expression as he tried to find a way out of the situation: "Honoured guest! This is a person that Director Yuan Yueshan from the Tax Bureau wants. Doing things like this is a little overboard, isn't it? In my courtyard, there are a few more little bitches like her, although they may not compare to her, but they are definitely more obedient than her!!"

The tax bureau held a great deal of resources after all. The director of the tax bureau was also an important person, such that even Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde had to keep an eye on him.

"If it's like that, then scum like you do have some use after all!!" Yue Zhong immediately stepped up and lashed out with a kick, causing Shi Ergou to fly and hit a table, fainting immediately.

With the flash of a blade, the ropes on Zhang Yulan's body were immediately cut loose!

"Your elder brothers have already followed me! From now on, you're also under me! I will protect you guys to the best of my capabilities." Yue Zhong eyed Zhang Yulan as he spoke in a heavy voice.

Zhang Yulan blinked twice, as her eyes had a strange gleam. She walked over to Yue Zhong's side and hugged his arm tightly, as though it was the one place she could feel the safest.

Chapter 0261 – Go Die! Scum!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

"Scum! He really deserves death!!" Yue Zhong eyed the scene in front of him, as he gritted his teeth and spat out the foul taste in his mouth.

"What a bastard!!"

"He needs to die!!"

Zhang Yulan and Tong Xiaoyun could not help but curse loudly. Especially Zhang Yulan who thought that just earlier, she almost became part of this group in front of her and her heart felt cold.

4 young girls of roughly 11 or 12 were enclosed inside a cage, with collars around their necks. The height of the cage made it so that the girls could only squat inside the cage, and their bodies had scars all over, their faces numb and frozen, causing those who saw their plight to feel immense pity.

Yue Zhong released the 4 of them upon which they crawled out on all fours. They immediately headed towards Yue Zhong and lowered their heads to lick his shoes.

Yue Zhong immediately pulled them up, and lectured them sternly: "All of you stand up!! From now on, you will learn how to protect yourself! Only you can save yourself!!"

The 4 girls only cried out in alarm, as their bodies shuddered and pleaded, "I will listen! Don't hit me! I will listen! Please don't hit me!"

Yue Zhong lightly sighed, but his eyes flashed with incomparable fury.

He wanted to kill someone.

Yue Zhong told Tong Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, they will be under your care!"

Tong Xiaoyun looked towards those pitiful girls and nodded her head: "Brother Yue, you can be at ease! I will take good care of them!!"

"Where is Yuan Yeshan?!" Yue Zhong grabbed Shi Ergou and asked icily.

"The Fragrant Hill Villa! He should be at Fragrant Hill Villa conducting his business!!" Shi Ergou had no backbone and immediately sold his backer out. He valued his life and didn't want to throw it away with a way out in front of him!

In Fragrant Hill Villa, Yuan Yeshan was living an extremely luxurious lifestyle, he had 2 girls licking his smelly feet, and another servicing him at his crotch. He was indeed enjoying himself.

As the director of the Tax Bureau, he controlled a huge amount of the resources. Even the big powers in SY County like Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde had to give him face. Though, he knew that he could not come out on top of Wen Baoguo nor Peng Mingde, so he quietly stayed in his job, and continued to siphon resources, as he led his high life.

Yuan Yeshan suddenly shivered as he ejaculated, and let out a light breath of relief, before looking at the young girl's face in front of him. He felt young and full of vigor. In the current world, he could do as he like in broad daylight, if it was before, he wouldn't have the guts to do so. He could do it precisely because he possessed power and authority!!

Those who had power were above authority and remand! Even the useless son of Peng Mingde had caused so much troubles, yet he remained free. If he, Yuan Yeshan wanted to play with a few women whose business was it?

Of course, he did all these knowing that it was shameless and was afraid of retribution. Therefore he used his resources and authority to gather a few experts under him. After all, expert fighters also needed to eat. They also had relatives and friends, family members, women and children. To survive and live better, they had no choice but to work for a government official like Yuan Yeshan.

Yuan Yeshan had 4 Level 15 Enhancers working under him. As long as they did not meet a powerful expert, the 4 of them could take down an Enhancer that was below Level 20. Even an Enhancer that had a higher level than that had to be careful, otherwise he or she might fall at their hands as well.

Furthermore, near the villa there was a special forces squad. If anything were to happen, within a few minutes the squad would immediately rush to provide reinforcements.

Just as Yuan Yeshan was having his way with those few girls, one of his subordinates suddenly barged in and spoke anxiously.

"Director!! There's an enemy attack!!"

Yuan Yeshan was alarmed and exclaimed: "Who??"

The subordinate continued hastily.

"I'm not sure! He's only one person! All our brothers have been defeated by him!! He is definitely an expert!!"

Right at this time, with a peng, the subordinate that had reported to Yuan Yeshan was kicked viciously to one side, as he flew to the wall and smashed into it forcefully, before he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted.

TN: Hmmm, seems familiar…

Yue Zhong strode in power on full display, as he stared at Yuan Yeshan and spoke coldly: "You are Yuan Yeshan?"

TN: HMMM, DEFINITELY FAMILIAR

Yuan Yeshan frowned as he spoke sternly in a self-righteous tone: "Who are you? This is government grounds. Do you want to go against the government and people?"

From a small house on the side, 4 men swiftly arrived by Yuan Yeshan's side and stared at Yue Zhong coldly. They were the 4 experts that Yuan Yeshan had hired.

One of them was wielding a Tang Replica Sword, and looked to be about 46 – 47, while dressed in farmer's garbs as he called out.

"Quickly surrender! This is Director Yuan, if you want to go against him, it's tantamount to rebelling! You will be regarded as treacherous to your comrades, the government and the people!!"

Yue Zhong glanced at the 3 girls who were lying naked on the floor, with collars around their necks, as he spoke out in an incredibly icy tone.

"Yuan Yeshan, how is a scum like you able to represent the citizens?"

Yuan Yeshan replied without batting an eyelid.

"Before I'm replaced, I represent the people of this country, and the citizens. Young man, you may be capable, but in front of the government and the people, your power counts for nuts! You better turn yourself in while you still have the chance. You must believe in the law, the law will definitely treat you justly! If you don't wake up, you will only face death."

Yue Zhong eyed the 4 experts as he pointed to the girls and questioned them.

"Do the 4 of you insist on helping this scum? Have your eyes been blinded? Don't tell me you can't see this?"

The 4 of them maintained their indifference, they were not good men after all, after protecting Yuan Yeshan for so long, how were they not sure of the type of animal Yuan Yeshan is? However, he had the power to ensure that they would not go hungry. Almost more importantly they could have the women they wanted, hence they threw their moral conscience away.

"Damn brat! If you don't surrender now, don't blame I your father, for being merciless!" The farmer-like middle aged man activated his Shadow Steps with a cold look in his eyes, as his entire being seemed to soar, as he shot towards Yue Zhong.

Another man who looked decent and cultured also activated his skill Airlock, and an invisible airlock shot towards Yue Zhong.

Another beefy yellow-skinned man activated his skill Super Strength Enhancement, as his Strength soared to 55 points. With the mace he wielded that was heavier than 100 jin, he rushed towards Yue Zhong ferociously. While he liked to use the Tang Replica Sword to deal with the zombies, against humans he preferred to use the mace, because it allowed him to exhibit his full strength.

The last guy just stared at Yue Zhong coldly, while he activated his Level 3 Skill: Spirit Shock, and a huge amount of Spirit energy rushed towards Yue Zhong. The power of such an attack was overwhelming, and if a normal person was to receive it, he would immediately lose his mental faculties, or die on the spot. Even someone who possessed a similar Spirit level as the man would lose concentration for a while.

These 4 men each possessed a different skill, and when the 4 of them acted together, even a Level 20 Enhancer might be defeated under their joint attacks.

The Spirit attack reached Yue Zhong first. Turns out it was just that Yue Zhong's Spirit was much stronger than the man's and the attack had no effect on him at all. This was the Spirit Shock's weakness, it could not do anything to a person with higher Spirit.

Yue Zhong brought out 2 guns with a wave of his hands, and he casually fired a shot at the farmer-like man.

With a 'bang', a bullet wound appeared in between the man's eyes, fresh blood flowing out, and he fell limply to the ground, with an expression of disbelief that someone could draw and fire a gun that fast.

The next moment, the invisible airlock had locked Yue Zhong's shoulder.

Yue Zhong frowned, and used all his strength to shake it off, but found that even with his Strength, he could not undo the airlock, his right shoulder was sealed by the airlock, and couldn't move.

The mace-holding expert saw his chance and he laughed craftily, before swinging the mace towards Yue Zhong's head. It was as though he could see Yue Zhong's head being smashed to a pasty pulp already.

Yue Zhong eyed the mace-holding expert, before his left hand rose and aimed while simultaneously firing 3 times. The 3 cold forged leaden slugs immediately found their targets in the heads of the mace-holding expert, the Airlock-using Enhancer, as well as the Enhancer with the Spirit Shock skill.

With the appearance of the bullet holes, these 3 Enhancers were defeated by Yue Zhong just like that.

While Enhancers were definitely stronger than normal humans in most aspects, they were not invincible. A bullet could easily take their lives, unless it was Yue Zhong, Lie Tianyang or even Ice King Zhang Yun, those Enhancers who knew how to use imbalanced skills to protect themselves against bullets.

"You can't kill me!! I am the Director of the Tax Bureau!! If you kill me, the government will not let you off!! As long as you let me go, rations, gold, women, anything you want, I can give it to you." Seeing his 4 experts falling under Yue Zhong's hands, Yuan Yeshan's complexion turned, as he trembled uncontrollably and started begging. He did not want to die at all.

At this moment, sounds of siren resounded from the outside, it was the special forces squad making their way over.

The Fragrant Hill Villa was the residence of many government officials, the moment some trouble brewed, the special forces squad would immediately rush over.

Hearing those loud sounds of siren, Yuan Yeshan felt relieved and knew he had bargaining power, as he spoke to Yue Zhong.

"Those experts outside are the elite of elites, you will definitely not be able to escape from here. Release me!! As long as you release me, I can guarantee that your life will be intact!!"

"Scum, go and die!" Yue Zhong lightly laughed and shot forward like an arrow, swinging down his blade towards Yuan Yeshan's neck.

In his moment of death, Yuan Yeshan's head rolling to the floor, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Chapter 0262 – Exceptional Trades

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The special combat forces were quick to react and had swiftly surrounded the entire villa.

"To the people inside! Listen up! You have already been surrounded! Your only option is to put down your weapons, and surrender immediately. Only by doing that, can we guarantee a way out for you." The captain of the special combat forces Xiao Panshan hollered out.

The few girls in the villa looked at Yue Zhong with fear, uncertain if this killing machine was going to kill them casually like he done the others.

"Don't worry, I am here to save you guys!" Yue Zhong said indifferently as he glanced at those girls who were scared witless.

With that, Yue Zhong strode up to the window of the villa and spoke out clearly. "I am Ning Guang County's Yue Zhong. Today, I was under orders to clean up the degenerates of the government. You can affirm this with Secretary General Peng and Mayor Wen!"

Xiao Panshan heard Yue Zhong's words and was thrown off for a moment. After some hesitation, he still didn't give the order to attack. Secretary General Peng and Mayor Wen were the 2 major powers in SY County after all. If it was an order by either of these 2 people, he didn't dare to question nor go against it. Therefore he decided to report it to the higher-ups first.

The murder of a director of the tax bureau wasn't a small matter, both Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde had rushed over the moment they received the news.

Wen Baoguo's face had turned green as he looked towards Yue Zhong and spoke heavily: "Yue Zhong, this time you have crossed the line! If you can't give me a suitable explanation, then I can't help but to announce that you're not a welcome guest of SY County, and would have to order your arrest!"

Yuan Yeshan wasn't Wen Baoguo's subordinate, but he was a government official after all. Yue Zhong had actually killed him in front of other people, without the use of a disguise and had seemed extremely tyrannical.

Yue Zhong pointed to the girls who were trembling uncontrollably as they kneeled on the ground and hugged his leg tightly, sternly speaking to Wen Baoguo, "Mayor Wen!! Yuan Yeshan that scum did this kind of disgusting and perverse things, don't tell me he doesn't deserve death?"

Wen Baoguo stared at Yue Zhong, spitting one word out at a time: "Yes! He is scum! He deserves to die! But he's a government official after all! If you want to take him down, you need to go by the lawful route! Nobody has the right to carry out judgement on a government official!! If you want his life, you have to go by the lawful way!"

Those who sat in the government positions were very concerned about their lives and stability. If everyone acted out in vengeance like Yue Zhong, then all the officials in the government would not sit easy. This had reached Wen Baoguo's threshold. Regardless of how overwhelmingly strong an expert was, they had to adhere to the rules SY County was running on, this was on the insistence by both Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde.

Peng Mingde sighed, while his eyes lit up inwardly with delight. He maintained a steely look as he spoke softly, "Yue Zhong! Yuan Yeshan was indeed scum!

Yue Zhong laughed lightly as he blatantly distorted the facts: "What are you guys talking about? I did not touch a single hair on Yuan Yeshan. When I came in here, I saw his 4 bodyguards fighting amongst themselves and killing each other. He simply was not careful and was caught in the fray. The rest then died under each other's merciless attacks!"

Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde frowned. They were also experts at twisting the truth, but facing Yue Zhong's shameless lie, they didn't know how to react.

The few girls kneeling by Yue Zhong's feet were even more confused, they had clearly seen Yue Zhong beheading Yuan Yeshan with their own eyes.

Yue Zhong smiled before he gave an offer. "This time, I have invited the 2 of you to discuss a potential deal! I want to use 100 tonnes of rations to buy 400,000 sets of quilts between the both of you."

Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde were smart people, and naturally knew of Yue Zhong's intentions to wipe the slate clean with these 100 tonnes of food. Right now in SY County, a quilt was not even worth a jin of rations. Hearing those words from Yue Zhong, the 2 of them finally started to relax.

After the end of the world, 50 tonnes of rations was not a small amount. In SY County 5 jin of rations could cause a huge fight to break out and a slaughter amongst the survivors. One person after another would bite, kick privates, gouge eyes, punch and fight as dirty as they could. 50 tonnes of food could support 100 people for almost 200 days.

Yue Zhong was after all a strong expert, and had a huge force under him. As long as it didn't reach a point of no return, Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde weren't willing to butt heads with Yue Zhong. Furthermore, Yue Zhong had provided them a subtle way out. As long as they put in a little more effort to convince the other officials, this matter would not be too huge of an issue.

Wen Baoguo pondered a while before exchanging a cold look with Peng Mingde. He then stepped forward and said: "Yue Zhong, this time I'll overlook this! I hope there won't be a second time. If it happens again, I can only give the order for your arrest."

Yue Zhong lightly smiled and indifferently said "I got it."

Seeing the obstinate Yue Zhong giving way, Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde let out a breath of relief. Dealing with this stubborn and prideful Yue Zhong who could easily go on a rampage was a headache to them.

"I have a proposition for the 2 of you!" Yue Zhong suddenly spoke out.

"What is it?" Wen Baoguo spoke somewhat coldly. After Yue Zhong had killed Yuan Yeshan without regards for the law, Wen Baoguo had somewhat less of a favourable impression of Yue Zhong.

"I want to impose tax near the river!" Yue Zhong smiled, as he threw out this unexpected bomb.

"No way!! Definitely not!!" At almost the same time, Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde immediately rejected the proposal.

Taxation was of utmost importance to a power. While there were few people who dared to fish at the river, and the tax gained per day could not even hit a tonne of fresh seafood, it was still a form of rations. Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde would definitely not give this up.

"Let me finish speaking!! I want to clear the Mutant Beasts in the river. As long as the Mutant Beasts are exterminated, then we can ensure a fresh and unending supply of seafood for SY County!"

"I'm going to be delegating my power and resources to clear the river, I naturally can't do it for free. Once the river is freed up, anyone can just enter the waters that I cleared to fish, or pluck vegetation, but I will take 30% as tax!" Yue Zhong spoke out heavily.

The river was a treasure trove in Yue Zhong's eyes, and it had a huge amount of potential in terms of food. If it could be made use of, the people of SY County could all have decent meals.

"Of the 30% tax, I will use 5% to pay SY County, and it's up to you guys to split it your own way! Once the river is cleared of the Mutant Beasts, the 5% of freshwater products as well as wild vegetation will surpass the current amount by 10 times, or even 100 times."

Yue Zhong's words shook the hearts of Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde, and they knew Yue Zhong was not exaggerating. The river was indeed a precious resource pool, it wasn't for the fact that there were so many Mutant Beasts, they would not even be worrying about rations.

Wen Baoguo considered a while, before speaking, "50-50. After you clear the river, we split the tax 50-50!"

Yue Zhong replied readily, "Sure!!"

Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde's eyes lit up in delight. While they might be at loggerheads, they wanted to join hands to fleece Yue Zhong like a fat little lamb. However, Yue Zhong's following words caused them both to frown deeply once more.

Yue Zhong continued speaking seeming indifferent to their machinations. "If you can dispatch 30 Level 20 and above Enhancers to help me, then once the river is cleared the tax can be split 50-50! If you guys aren't willing to send help, then I can only give you 5%! I will also need to leave some for the people from the military!"

If one hoards everything, it would not bode well. Should Yue Zhong monopolize the tax percentage, even if he used all his strength to clear the river, other people will get jealous. He had to give a little as a sign of goodwill. The government and military were both powerful heads of state in SY County, and Yue Zhong's foothold in this county was still too small.

Peng Mingde's eyes narrowed, as he thought carefully before replying softly, "Then we'll stick with 5%. Recently, our manpower is a little tight, we can't leisurely afford to send out so many experts."

Countless strong Mutant Beasts currently resided within the river, and the SY County's government and military had sent out many forces to try and clear the place many times before. As of now, the government, military and even some civilian experts had joined hands to kill many Mutant Beasts, yet they always came out on the losing side. In fact, the total experts that had died in these clearing expeditions numbered in the 100s, and a few precious Evolvers had already died at the hands of those Mutant Beasts. Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde naturally did not have much faith in Yue Zhong's preposition. Furthermore, even without doing a single thing, they stood to gain 5% of tax, they will naturally delighted to watch Yue Zhong exhaust his strength, if he was defeated, it was not their problem, and if he won, they stood to benefit from it.

"My manpower in SY County is not enough, to battle against those Mutant Beasts, I need to gather a few more people as well as some form of accommodation. How about selling me Xinglong Street and Nanshan Street? I'm willing to buy them for 100 tonnes of rations!" Yue Zhong continued asking without even batting an eyelid.

Wen Baoguo replied without much care: "Add another 50 tonnes, you can have Xingye Street as well!"

Xinglong Street, Nanshan Street as well as Xingye Street were all near the river, and there were currently many survivors living there now. Most of them were prostitutes, thieves, robbers, kids, old people, hoodlums and even gang members. Furthermore, the 3 streets were dilapidated. Dirty water ran in the ditches and it was smelly beyond words. By throwing the 3 streets to Yue Zhong, Wen Baoguo could stop worrying about the situation there and save on rations as well.

"Thanks Mayor Wen!" Yue Zhong laughed lightly.

The 3 streets had plenty of apartments, if squeezed a little bit, he could fit two to three thousand people there. With these 3 streets, Yue Zhong could also be considered to gain a foothold in SY County, or a stronghold. And all he paid was 150 tonnes of food.

After the business transaction, Yue Zhong came to Xinglong Street.

Yue Zhong walked the entire street, and called for Zhang He, "Zhang He! I need to gather some people! Go and disseminate the info. Say I'm looking for people who are willing to fight and work hard! Those who work for me, whatever I require of them, they have to do it! Everyday I will ensure that they get to eat their fill! In addition, if they do well, I will not scrimp on rewards! I will only accept 200 people, not any more! Cheng Yu, follow him!"

Although Zhang He was young, he was mature, and he was a local resident after all, thus he was extremely familiar with the area. Therefore he was the most suitable person for this role.

"Yes! Boss Yue!" Zhang He replied in a respectful manner, before he dismissed himself.

Cheng Yu followed Zhang He silently.

"Little kid!! What's the catch for today? I can use my cornmeal to change with you, 1 jin of fresh fish for 2 jin cornmeal! If you let me play with your sister for a night, I can give you 2 jin rice." At one of the streets, a decently-dressed middle-aged man eyed Zhang He and spoke out while wearing a steely smile.

Zhang He looked at the man with undisguised contempt as he coldly replied. "Boss Niu, I'm not here to exchange food with you!"

The man in front was called Niu Dahui, and was a businessman. He used cornmeal and rice to exchange for various items with the survivors, and was well known amongst the people here as a vicious and callous man.

Niu Dahui immediately turned grim and chuckled, "Then pay your debts!! 4 days ago, you borrowed 4 jin of cornmeal from me. You owe me 6 jin of cornmeal! If you can't pay up, I will take your sister as guarantee."

Niu Dahui had long set his sights on Zhang He's sister. The pretty little flower could be used to bargain and be sold for at least a 100 jin worth of food. Because of this, Niu Dahui had 'generously' loaned Zhang He 3 jin of cornmeal.

Zhang He's face turned black, as he gritted his teeth and said, "I only borrowed 3 jin of cornmeal for 10 days, how is it that only after 4 days you demand a payment of 6 jin of cornmeal?"

Niu Dahui's expression did not waver as he looked at Zhang He coldly and said, "Now that rations are so precious, don't tell me my loan to you doesn't require interest? My rates have always been 9 out,13 return. Everyday's interest is 20%! Requiring your payment of 6 jin is already cheaper than what is required , damn brat!! You're still not paying up?! If you don't take out the rations, I will take your sister as a guarantee!!"

Niu Dahui had given the 3 jin of food with the grace of a magnanimous man, and had seemed decent, but the moment he required payment, he would be extremely callous.

Nearby, the survivors came around and looked on numbly.

"Too bad! The small kid was hoodwinked by that dog."

"What a pity!!"

Those survivors saw the scene and broke into discussion. However, that Niu Dahui had 4 extremely burly thugs protecting him, thus no one dared to provoke him.

Zhang He's face was full of fury as he looked at Niu Dahui, and he didn't expect that this scum had actually thought of such an idea.

Niu Dahui stared at the infuriated but helpless Zhang He, and his face broke out into an extremely proud expression.

Chapter 0263 – Kneel or Die!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 263: Kneel, or die!

"This should be enough!" Cheng Yu stepped forward, and threw a bag in front of Niu Dahui.

Niu Dahui pulled open the bag, only to discover that the bag was filled with white rice, and even had about 10 jin worth! His eyes revealed a hint of greed, he had just lent out 3 jin of cornmeal and managed to obtain 10 jin of superior white rice. This time he had really struck it rich! It must be made clear that white rice was much more valuable than cornmeal.

The survivors looked at the white rice inside the bag, and their eyes all lit up. 10 jin of white rice, was enough for these starved survivors to kill for.

Niu Dahui's eyes shook, as he spoke out fiercely, "No way! I lent you cornmeal! I want back cornmeal! If you don't take out 6 jin of cornmeal right now, hand me your sister!!"

The 4 burly men behind Niu Dahui stood up to pressurize Zhang He.

If it was any other situation, with the 400% of interest, Niu Dahui would have stopped there. It's just this time, if he could obtain Zhang Yulan, he would gain more than 10 times the interest. This was why he couldn't care less, and wanted to get his hands on Zhang Yulan so he could earn a whole lot more.

Zhang He shook with fury as he shouted out loudly, "It's obvious that white rice is much more valuable. I only borrowed 3 jin of cornmeal from you, and returned you 10 jin of white rice, what more do you want?"

Niu Dahui harshly criticized: "You say white rice is more valuable than cornmeal? In my eyes, a jin of cornmeal is worth 10 jin of white rice!! You can either pay me 6 jin of cornmeal or 60 jin of white rice, then we can call it even! Otherwise, bring your sister here!"

The 4 burly bodyguards encircled Zhang He and Cheng Yu to try and oppress them.

Zhang He was thoroughly infuriated by Niu Dahui's shamelessness, and he shook uncontrollably while looking at Cheng Yu.

"A bunch of trash!" Cheng Yu's eyes flashed coldly, as his body seemed to disappear. In one move he kicked out, visciously sweeping his leg in a circle and caused the 4 burly men to fly back and hit the shop wall.

With another kick aimed at Niu Dahui's stomach, he kicked again. Cheng Yu's attack caused him to double over and his knees gave out, causing him to faceplant the ground into a rather fresh pile of green dog shit.

Dedition: Wouldn't the dogs have been eaten? This is a poor area, there wouldn't be no dogs for dog shit? Unless somehow….

Ulamog: Martian dogs equipped with personal teleportation matrixes… It's 100% then truth.

"This white rice is for you! From today on, the debt between you and Zhang He is cancelled. If you still want to find trouble, you will lose your dog life!" Cheng Yu pulled Niu Dahui by his hair viciously, as he spoke with enormous killing intent, while pouring the white rice on top of his head.

Niu Dahui had a look of horror as he pleaded loudly, "No more! Master! I dare not! Please take mercy and spare my lowly life!!"

Someone who was capable of dealing with 4 strong men was obviously a powerful Enhancer. He was an existence that Niu Dahui could not afford to offend.

Zhang He looked at Cheng Yu enviously and imagined himself possessing the same strength one day, as to let others fear him. "How powerful and domineering!! I must be as capable as him in the future!!"

"My fellow elder brothers and uncles, I am Zhang He! I am now under Boss Yue! Yue Zhong ordered me to gather workers! As long as you work for Boss Yue, everyone gets to eat their fill!" Zhang He stepped onto Niu Dahui's stall, and called out to the surrounding survivors.

"Take me!! Zhang He!!"

"I can do anything! Will I really get to eat my fill?"

The moment Zhang He finished talking, all the survivors surrounded Zhang He and Cheng Yu, then started pleading profusely. To be able to eat one's fill was an incredibly tempting offer. In SY County, there were nobody who didn't want to join the various powers, there were only powers who weren't willing to accept survivors. It was mainly because these powers did not have any more rations, the moment they exceeded their capacity, they would run out of food as well.

Yue Zhong currently did not bring too much weight in rations, so gathering 200 subordinates was the maximum that he could allow. When the ration trucks arrived, he could then engage in a wide scale employment.

And then of course, Yue Zhong couldn't just take in too many. Otherwise, the government of SY County would not be able to relax.

Zhang He had gotten along in this part of town for a long time, and somewhat knew the various survivors pretty well. Under his selection, a few of the honest and hardworking ones who were not afraid to slog were chosen. Those hoodlums, thieves and liars, or those who liked to slack or fool around were immediately rejected.

Niu Dahui at this time had already crawled up, his eyes filled with a venomous look as he stared at Zhang He and said through gritted teeth, "Zhang He! Just you wait, I won't let you off this easily!!"

After that, Niu Dahui hastily left the place.

Zhang He brought the 200 people he gathered in front of Yue Zhong and said: "Boss Yue, as per your instructions, 200 people have been assembled!!"

Yue Zhong sat in the middle of the courtyard. On his left stood Wen Peishan who had a look of curiosity. Located on his right, Tong Xiaoyun and Zhang Yulan stood together. The rest of the Special Combat soldiers were on different duties and missions, infiltrating SY County, and observing any strange movements from the different power factions.

Right at this time, a group of knife and axe-wielding men rushed in, while an arrogant young man with blond hair and ear piercings sauntered over and glanced at Yue Zhong. His eyes quickly landed on Wen Peishan, Tong Xiaoyun and Zhang Yulan, and he couldn't betray the look of lust in his expression.

A tanned man wearing a shirt with no buttons, revealing his tattoos, immediately walked forward towards Yue Zhong, fiercely swinging a huge knife, before cursing, "Fuck your mother! Yue Zhong you bastard, you come to our Black Tiger Gang's territory to gather people? Have you asked for our permission?! Damn it! You didn't go through us and dare to take people in? You must have a death wish right!?!"

Seeing the Black Tiger Gang members appearing out of the blue, the 200 people who had been gathered immediately hid to one side, their faces full of fear as they watched on. The Black Tiger Gang was, after all, the tyrant around these areas, and operated gambling dens and brothels. They loaned out resources at huge interest rates and engaged in various other shady business. At the same time, they possessed a decent fighting force, and had over a 100 members in their gang who could fight, therefore no one dared to provoke them.

The blond young man with pierced ears, and an incredibly arrogant face was the son of the gang leader Yun Qiang, Yun Fei! Yun Fei was also a ruthless youth, and had caused the deaths of a few people. The tanned burly man wielding the knife was called Cheng Yunshu, and was one of the top 5 fighters in Black Tiger Gang. Even prior to the apocalypse, he was a fighter for a gang, and his knife skills were brutal and ruthless. Of course he had taken numerous lives as well.

"Go and die!" Yue Zhong frowned, and immediately fired a shot at that Cheng Yunshu.

Bang! A bullet hole appeared in Cheng Yunshu's head, and his entire person slumped lifelessly backwards. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. He didn't expect that Yue Zhong had not spoken more than a sentence, and instead had just decided to kill him instantly.

Those members of the Black Tiger Gang who had walked in with strong killing intent watched Cheng Yunshu slump to the floor in disbelief as well. That was one of the prized top fighters in their gang. In the battles for territory and control, he was someone who could take on 6 different people, and such a bull had actually died at Yue Zhong's hands.

"The whole lot of you kneel or die!" Yue Zhong coldly eyed those 20 gang members who had rushed over and spoke. He didn't even stand, and had still remained sitting on the chair.

4 Special Combat soldiers walked out with their .05 submachine guns aimed at the gang members.

Outside of the courtyard's gates, Cheng Yu wordlessly aimed a .05 submachine gun at the 20 members of the Black Tiger Gang.

As long as Yue Zhong gave the order, the 5 of them could instantly decimate the over 20 members from the Black Tiger Gang.

Yun Fei saw the scene in front of him, and his back broke out in cold sweat, and right now, he absolutely hated Niu Dahui who had goaded him into this. The man in front of him was obviously extremely decisive and vicious, he would kill without engaging in idle banter. With a single word from him, he forced people to kneel. This was the tyrant of tyrants, devil of devils!

Yun Fei had wanted to say something, but once he saw Yue Zhong's eyes which were filled with killing intent, his heart went limp. He immediately kneeled down and said loudly, "It's a misunderstanding!! It's all a misunderstanding!!"

The members of the Black Tiger Gang immediately kneeled one by one. There were, however, some who seemed to be hesitating. They had their pride, and they were actually being forced to kneel in front of a young man, and that made them indignant.

Bang bang!

(TN: all over you~~~)

The sounds of gunfire resounded from the .05 light machine gun. Those Black Tiger Gang members who had not thrown their weapons down in time, were immediately shot full of bullet holes, their entire body bleeding, as they slumped to the floor, fresh blood flowing out of their wounds.

The 11 members had just died like that without the chance to resist, and the cruel scene let Yun Fei truly feel frightened at the ruthless slaughter of this youth in front of him. He had always been tough on his enemies while treating his people well, and was afraid that Yue Zhong could just execute them all on the spot.

Those who were gathered by Zhang He on Yue Zhong's orders witnessed the cruel scene, as their hearts went cold, and they all kneeled subconsciously.

Seeing everyone kneeling down, Zhang Yulan's eyes flashed with a hint of passion, as she looked towards Yue Zhong with reverence.

Yue Zhong eyed Yun Fei kneeling on the ground icily and asked "Who are you?"

The deaths of the 12 members of the Black Tiger Group was of no importance to Yue Zhong. In SY County, as long as Yue Zhong did not publicly execute any government officials, the murder of a few gang members weren't worth shit. In fact, because of the struggle for dominance, the gangs would be engaged in fighting every few days, with a few deaths as a result. The government would not bother with them too much.

Chapter 0264 – Basement!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 264: Basement!

"I am Yun Fei, the son of Black Tiger Gang's leader Yun Qiang! This time we were tricked by Niu Dahui, that's why we offended you! Please be magnanimous and let us off!! Our Black Tiger Gang is willing to offer 3 tonnes of white rice as compensation!!" Yun Fei kneeled on the floor, his back full of cold sweat. From young, he had never felt such tyrannical pressure before. Honestly, he knew if he wasn't careful he would easily become a corpse.

Yue Zhong called Zhang He over, "Black Tiger Gang? Zhang He, what's this Black Tiger Gang?"

Zhang He did not hesitate, and immediately replied loudly, "Boss Yue! This Black Tiger Gang is Xinglong Street's biggest triad. They are actually pretty good at this kind of stuff. They control the gambling dens, lend out money at high interest rates, force women to sell their bodies, and are basically a huge evil!"

If it was anyone else asking Zhang He he might have his reservations. But because Yue Zhong was his backer, he didn't have to fear anyone.

Yue Zhong continued asking, "Do you know where their headquarters is located?"

"I know!!" Zhang He nodded. His sister was very pretty after all, and he was constantly worried that she would be taken by bad people, hence he knew the layout of the area very well.

Yue Zhong casually gave out an order: "Cheng Yu, bring the rest and follow Zhang He, go annihilate the Black Tiger Gang! Those who don't surrender, kill them!"

The 5 fully equipped Special Combat warriors going against a hundred hoodlums without decent weapons, it was definitely going to be a victory, it was only a question of how long.

"Boss Yue! It was our mistake!! It was my fault!! Please let our Black Tiger Gang off!!" Yun Fei knelt on the floor, and immediately kowtowed profusely, causing his forehead to bleed. He wasn't an idiot; their motley crew of hoodlums would definitely not be able to take on Yue Zhong's warriors. The moment they clashed, there was only death for the Black Tiger Gang.

Yue Zhong looked at Yun Fei coldly and said, "I'm giving you a minute's time, unless you can give me something worth mentioning, the entire Black Tiger Gang will cease to exist from tomorrow onwards."

Yun Fei immediately broke out in further cold sweat, and his brain raced to come up with a way for the Black Tiger Gang to escape this crisis.

Yun Fei immediately replied in a loud voice, "Boss Yue, our Black Tiger Gang is willing to throw in with you, and treat you as our biggest boss, whatever you ask of us, we would do!!"

If the Black Tiger Gang could rely on Yue Zhong's strength, they would be able to expand and become stronger as well. Yun Fei had thought of this, "1 stone, 2 birds".

Yue Zhong replied coldly, "You still have 30 seconds."

Yue Zhong could not be bothered with Black Tiger Gang and its resources. He only had to put out rations, and could gather a random team together. Training them for a few days plus equipping them with his items, the Black Tiger Gang would not even compare to that.

Yun Fei's back constantly perspired, as he racked his brains again, before his eyes lit up and he said, "I know a place that has a lot of rations!!!"

Yue Zhong asked in a drawly voice, "How much rations?"

If it was just 1 or 2 tonnes of rations, Yue Zhong wouldn't give a shit, he could easily pull out that amount.

Yun Fei replied: "Definitely no less than 500 tonnes!"

"Tell me the location! After we salvage it, I will let you guys leave!" Yue Zhong called out indifferently.

500 tonnes was not a small sum, it could let even the likes of Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde to go green. With this 500 tonnes of food, Yue Zhong could immediately maintain a group of 1000 people for half a year.

"Is it here?" Yue Zhong followed Yun Fei to a village within the city, as he pointed to a 7-storey high detached building on a plot of land and asked.

Yun Fei told Yue Zhong the secret he had kept for quite a while: "It is right here!! Not too long ago, I saw some people moving some items here, and where the vehicle passed by, I noticed some white rice spilled around the area! After that, the same vehicle continuously moved items to and fro this place, based on my calculations, I think there were about a 100 trips. Since the vehicle can carry about weights of up to 5 tonnes. After 100 trips, there should be 500 tonnes of food at the very least."

Yun Fei had initially wanted to strike this place, and take the items for his own. However, before he had the chance to, Yue Zhong had gained the opportunity. He could only give this place up to exchange for the survival of his Black Tiger Gang.

Yue Zhong frowned, before asking softly, "Is this place under the military's supervision?"

500 tonnes, it was not a small sum, if it was a granary that belonged to the military or government, then if Yue Zhong made any move on it, there would be trouble.

Yun Fei had also done his research: "Nope! The granaries under the government and military usually have experts guarding them. Almost always the surrounding areas of up to 1km around those granaries are usually brightly lit, and there are various checks. Even a fly would find it hard to fly in. This place however, lacks the type of security usually given to those of importance."

Stealing from the government and military was a huge offence, even the Black Tiger Gang would be easily crushed by either the government or military. Yun Fei and Yun Qiang were normal people, and did not dare go against the government or military.

Yue Zhong observed the place carefully, and discovered that the luxurious looking Western-style bungalow did in fact seem to not belong to the government or military.

Yue Zhong eyed the bungalow, then gave the order to Cheng Yu, "Go take care of them! Try to keep them all alive!"

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's orders, Cheng Yu brought 2 Special Combat soldiers with him.

Cheng Yu used to be a top-rated killer before the world changed. In the Apocalypse after, he had gained numerous benefits from the God and Devil System with Yue Zhong's help. Killing countless zombies had made him become a Level 25 Enhancer. If he gave his all in his assassination, even Level 30 Enhancers would be killed by him in just a move, needless to say anything about other normal humans.

Not long after, the 7 guards around the courtyard were taken care of.

Yue Zhong brought his new workforce of a 150 men, strode into the courtyard with a domineering air and started rummaging for the 500 tonnes of rations.

"Boss Yue!! We found it!! We found the rations!! Come over quick!" One of the survivors excitedly rushed to Yue Zhong's side and called out.

Yue Zhong immediately brightened up, and followed the survivor to a huge underground basement.

He discovered that within that huge underground basement, there were stacks and stacks of white rice, cornmeal, wheat and various other rations. All sorts of rations were stockpiled in huge numbers, forming many small mountains.

Yue Zhong looked at the amount of rations the basement contained, and his eyes flashed with delight, and based on his experience, he estimated: "Not right, the rations here are not just 500 tonnes, it should be above 3000 tonnes!!"

"Boss Yue!! There are more good things here!! It seems there's much more!!" Song Wen was in the one of the corners as he called out excitedly.

Yue Zhong strode over with big steps and discovered that there was a huge chest in the corner.The chest had already been pried open, revealing brand new .03 rifles inside.

"Military firepower!!!! There's this much??? The amount of firepower here could equip an entire battalion of soldiers!!" Yue Zhong took a look at the guns contained within the chest, and swiftly came to a judgement on the amount.

In the basement, other than the lack of rocket launchers and other missile and explosive types of weapons, all the rifles were enough to equip an entire battalion. Assuming one coupled them with the ample ammunition, it was enough to engage in a huge battle.

"Good find! Move all these back immediately!!" Yue Zhong wore a delighted expression and gave the order to Song Wen.

Everything contained within this basement, Yue Zhong had decided to swallow all the items up. He didn't care if the original owner was someone to be provoked or not.

With the support of these rations and firepower, Yue Zhong could immediately train up a battalion of soldiers to be deployed here, instead of taking some from his Ning Guang County or Qing Yuan County.

Yue Zhong looked towards Cheng Yu and casually barked orders as was his wont. "Go spread the command to those newly recruited guys, whoever speaks of this will be directly executed. Those 7 guards we captured? Take them to the scum battalion in Ning Guang County."

Those in the scum battalion were treated harshly as befitted a slave unit. Before they killed enough zombies to obtain their freedom, they had to remain in the camp gaols or in cages. They could not even step outside for communications with others.

Cheng Yu nodded his head and immediately went to convey Yue Zhong's orders.

Yue Zhong looked at Yun Fei indifferently and spoke. "Yun Fei! Your information was solid! You're free to go with your men! Today's matters, should you reveal even the tiniest bit of information, I will personally come after every single person in your Black Tiger Gang. I'll even slowly eviscerate the one with loose lips as an example.

As of today onwards, if your Black Tiger Gang still wants to operate your prior shady businesses on my territory, don't blame me for being merciless. If you and your guys are willing to work for me, bring your dad to meet me at 9 A.M tomorrow morning."

Yun Fei wiped his sweat rapidly as he told Yue Zhong, "Thank you Boss Yue! Thank you for your mercy and kindness!! Our Black Tiger Gang is definitely willing to work for you. I will go convince my father to meet you here tomorrow morning at 9 AM!!"

"Who was the owner of the underground basement?" Yue Zhong asked the 7 guards directly.

Before sending the 7 of them to the scum battalion, Yue Zhong wanted to gain information. Since he had obtained such a huge amount of resources, the person who owned it must have been a big figure.

"Pei! If you want to kill me, then kill me. Your father, I, will still be a good man after another 18 years!" One of the guards stared at Yue Zhong with a hardened gaze.

"What a good man with backbone! Please die!" Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and waved his hand.

Song Wen chuckled at such staunch replies and directly swung down on that guard's neck with his blade. His powerful slash cleanly decapitated him. Fresh blood spurted violently at first then slower and less, soon enough only a sluggish drool of blood was leaking listlessly from the wet stump. The lifeless head feeling slightly bounced with a sickening squish before it rolled on the ground and stopped.

Ever so coincidentally the man's aghast final stare locked on his face, was stopped in such a way that it looked towards his colleagues, his cold and flat eyes slowly glazing over.

Chapter 0265 – Cleaning Up The Gangs

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 265: Cleaning Up the Gangs!

"Who's the owner of this basement?" Yue Zhong glared icily at the 6 remaining guards.

Seeing their comrade's corpse, their eyes flashed with fear. The enemy in front of them was more vicious than they had ever imagined. Somehow under such duress they kept their silence.

The owner of the basement was too powerful, those who betrayed him would not have a good ending.

"You can die then!" Yue Zhong directly pointed to a guard coldly.

The guard's eyes flashed with horror, his entire body convulsing as he struggled to say, "I…."

Before he even got the words out, Song Wen had already chopped off his head, and the lifeless head whose face was full of hatred and reluctance fell to the floor. This very effectively further added on to the fear of the remaining 5 guards.

"You were too slow!!" Yue Zhong eyed the dead body, before his gaze moved to the other 5 guards.

"I'll speak!! I'll say anything!! Don't kill me!!"

"I'll speak!! Don't kill me!! I'll tell you everything I know!!"

The remaining 5 guards lost all sense of their composure, and bawled as they fought to let Yue Zhong know what they knew. They did not want to die at his hands.

"So it was him!! Interesting!! Really interesting!!" After hearing the words from the remaining guards, he gained some interesting information.

The owner of the 3000 tonnes of rations and a battalion's worth of firepower was the private property of Su Dongming, one of the 5 heads of the military. In the military, as Su Dongming was the overall Commander, he was under the scrutiny of the other 4 powers, and every actions of his was closely observed.

In order to expand his power, he had siphoned out parts of the military's resources, and sent it to this small unassuming bungalow. At the same time, he was building up a civil force. However, they didn't expect that their hard work would fall into the hands of Yue Zhong.

These 7 guards were also the elites of the civil force, and possess weapons on themselves. They could easily deal with a triad of 100 members. In this part of town where the number of experts could not possibly be greater or stronger than this group of 7, Su Dongming had not expected that his prized possessions would be swallowed by Yue Zhong.

These resources of Su Dongming had been obtained secretly and could not be revealed to anyone. The moment he did, he might have to deal with the joint efforts of the other 4 heads to dethrone him, and his Commander position would not be secure.

While the position of the Division Commander might be in name only and could not possibly affect the other 4 troops, Su Dongming was not willing to part with it.

Since Yue Zhong knew Su Dongming would not dare to openly send troops for revenge, Yue Zhong couldn't care less about offending him. Even if Su Dongming knew it was Yue Zhong who did it, he could only grit his teeth and accept the facts.

Early the next morning at 8, the blond haired Yun Fei and his father Yun Qiang stood at the courtyard awaiting Yue Zhong obediently.

A small triad like the Black Tiger Gang helping Yue Zhong whose power was more significant, wasn't much of an issue. A few experts could easily wipe such a small triad out, therefore Yun Fei and Yun Qiang father-son duo weren't willing to offend Yue Zhong.

Zhang He walked out and spoke indifferently to Yun Fei and Yun Qiang, "Boss Yue wants you to go in! Follow me!"

Yun Fei, Yun Qiang both followed Zhang He in quietly.

"He really is strong!!" Yun Qiang saw the various Special Combat soldiers standing around the villa with .05 rifles and he was shocked. Last night, after Yun Fei had advised him, he had his doubts about Yue Zhong. However, today, he really opened his eyes and discovered Yue Zhong's strength to be more fearsome than Yun Fei described.

Yue Zhong eyed Yun Qiang indifferently and said, "You're Yun Qiang?"

Yun Qiang looked to Yue Zhong infront of him and spoke extremely respectfully, "This small one is Yun Qiang. Boss Yue, last night my Black Tiger Gang had offended you greatly! I hope you will forgive us. Today, my useless son and I are here to make amends, and from today henceforth, we are willing to work for you."

After the apocalypse, whoever had the largest fist was the boss. Naturally someone like Yue Zhong who had so much power at his fingertips usually wasn't someone to antagonize others because of prior events. In fact, most would wish to throw in with him, to obtain such a strong backer, and in the future, create more possibilities for oneself.

Yue Zhong coolly replied, "I want you to show your face and go to Xinglong Street, Nanshan Street as well as Xingye Street, and clear up all the different gangs. Once they are cleaned up, the entire area will be handled by you. Do you have the confidence?"

Yue Zhong had bought over the 3 streets filled with all sorts of characters, and had the intent to clean things up. Otherwise, if it were allowed to continue deteriorating, it would be a hassle for him in the future, with regards to security.

Yun Qiang hesitated a while before replying, "Boss Yue, the number of men I have are not enough to clean up so many gangs!! Nanshan Street's Azure Dragon Gang, as well as Xingye Street's Vermillion Phoenix Gang have over 100 people who can fight, plus those bitches in Vermillion Phoenix Gang have guns. Our Black Tiger Gang is definitely not their match!"

The Azure Dragon Gang and Vermillion Phoenix Gang might sound intimidating, but they were only 2 small triads after all. To eliminate them, 20 fully equipped soldiers was all it needed.

Yue Zhong replied indifferently, "I will send people to help you! You just have to bring my men to capture their leaders and suppress their strength, that will suffice! If they aren't willing to surrender, kill them, if they surrender, absorb them into your ranks, no unnecessary killings."

Yun Qiang's face immediately brightened up, and he replied excitedly, "Yes Boss Yue!! I promise to execute this mission well!!"

Yue Zhong swept a cold gaze at him, "Your son Yun Fei will stay here to assist me! To put it bluntly, whatever you guys did before? I don't care. From today on, if you guys still continue to do those immoral things, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

Yun Qiang's heart went cold as he replied, "Yes Boss Yue! Then I'll entrust my useless son to you! From today on, whatever I do, I will be sure to seek your approval! I promise that I won't let you down!"

Yun Qiang was very sure that Yue Zhong had kept his son behind to not only guide him properly, it was to ensure he had a hostage as well. If Yun Qiang were to betray Yue Zhong outside, his son would only face death.

However, Yun Qiang felt elated! This meant that Yue Zhong truly intended to groom and test him, otherwise there was no need for a hostage.

The leader of the Azure Dragon Triad, Ran Chengzai, was feeling restless. His backer had just informed him that a Yue Zhong had appeared in Nanshan Street, and then had warned him to be careful. He was told not to provoke or offend this huge dragon, otherwise those on top could not help him.

"Should I send him a gift?"

Ran Chengzai hesitated a while, he was after all the leader of over a hundred fighters. If he took the initiative to gift Yue Zhong something, it would cause him to lose face. Furthermore, without any rhyme or reason, who knows, Yue Zhong might look down on him.

One of the Azure Dragon triad members rushed in breathlessly reporting: "Leader!! Leader!! The Black Tiger Gang has brought people to attack us!!"

Ran Chengzai frowned and said, "What are you panicking for? It's only just that small Black Tiger Gang, what can they do? Let Liu Liu and Li Bo handle it!"

Liu Liu and Li Bo were the top 2 experts in the Azure Dragon gang. They were both above Level 10 Enhancers, and possessed the God and Devil System skills. In these kind of riff raff triads, there were really no normal people who were the match for these 2.

The lackey immediately replied fearfully, "They have already been defeated! They were defeated within one move by those experts that the Black Tiger Gang brought!"

Ran Chengzai's expression soured: "What?? How did Yun Qiang get such experts?! Only the government or military will have people of that calibre!"

Right at this time, the sounds of merciless slaughter resounded from outside. 15 members of the Azure Dragon triad ran into the meeting hall embarrassingly fleeing from the enemy.

Yun Qiang had brought a bunch of the Black Tiger Gang members and was sauntering into the meeting hall with an extremely pleased face. He looked around as he scanned the area and saw the leader Ran Chengzai. His eyes brightened up, as he laughed coldly: "Ran Chengzai, do you want to surrender or die today?"

10 of the Black Tiger Gang members held .03 rifles pointing at Ran Chengzai. It was quite evident that as soon as Yun Qiang gave the order, they would immediately open fire and execute the Azure Dragon triad members.

With these 10 .03 rifles, Ran Chengzai knew that even if all his brothers were to rush up, they would be slaughtered immediately.

Ran Chengzai looked at those .03 rifles and looked at Liu Liu and Li Bo who were tied up tightly, as he clenched his fist, a hint of fury flashed in his eyes, before he gritted his teeth and asked, "Yun Qiang, have you been bought over by Yue Zhong?"

Ran Chengzai was, after all, also a capable person. He thought to the previous night where the Black Tiger Gang had actually offended Yue Zhong, and came to the conclusion with just a little more guesswork. He also knew the actual strength of the Black Tiger Gang, and knew it was impossible for them to possess the .03 rifles! 100% impossible. Oherwise the entire area might have already been dominated by the Black Tiger Gang long before. It must be known that the government and military controlled the guns very strictly.

Even after expending a huge amount of effort, Ran Chengzai had only obtained 2 hand guns, 3 .81 rifles, and 60 magazines of ammunition.

"That's right! I am now Boss Yue's man!" Yun Qiang did not feel ashamed as he said it. "Ran Chengzai, you only have 2 options now~ to surrender, or to die!"

Ran Chengzai hesitated a while, before replying extremely reluctantly, "I surrender!!"

"Leader!! You can't!! We will fight it out with them!!" One of the lackeys from the Azure Dragon Triad immediately shouted out, his eyes red.

With a 'bang', the lackey from the Azure Dragon tribe found a new hole in between his eyebrows, as he fell straight to the floor, not moving any more.

"Is there anyone else? Just speak!" Cheng Yu held a handgun, as he looked at the people from the Azure Dragon Triad as though they were already dead people.

Under the cold gaze of Cheng Yu, the members' hearts went cold, no one dared to speak further.

Ran Chengzai looked at his subordinate that was executed and his eyebrows twitched, not daring to voice anything else. If it was before the apocalypse, he could still holler that he would get a lawyer. However, in the post-apocalyptic world…. So called human rights were basically non-existent, and those who were not satisfied were immediately executed, so there was no need to discuss about rights.

The members of the Azure Dragon triad did not dare do anything else, under the threat of the rifles, they obediently allowed themselves to be tied up by the members of the Black Tiger Gang, before being taken away from that place.

Ran Chengzai's face was currently the colour of ash, as he looked towards the extremely complacent Yun Qiang and muttered in deep regret. "Damn it, if only I had gained Yue Zhong's backing earlier! I didn't expect that I would actually lose to this bastard!!"

The moment the leader of the Azure Dragon Triad was taken away the rest of the triad became devastated, and a number of the members left at the first notice.

Yun Qiang brought people and obtained 50 tonnes of rations from the place. Really, without these rations, the Azure Dragon Triad could not have gathered over a 100 fighters to establish a foothold around here.

After dealing with the Azure Dragon Triad, Yun Qiang gathered his subordinates and in a good mood made their way towards the Vermillion Phoenix Triad.

The Vermillion Phoenix's territory was in Xingye Street. They were a triad that consisted of only female members. These women were mostly mistreated by men in the past, and hated them to the core of their bones. The queen bee Liu Yujiao was also an extremely ruthless and vicious person. All ruthlessness aside she possessed strong interpersonal skills, and had garnered a group of over 100 women. Under her leadership, the rest of the women in Vermillion Phoenix could fight and risk their all, and weren't much weaker than most men, in actuality, they were a lot more ruthless.

Amongst the triad members of the Vermillion Phoenix, there were 5 rifles, and their power was recognized around the area. The Black Tiger Gang and Azure Dragon Triad had refrained from antagonizing this fearsome group of women in the past.

The Vermilion Phoenix also got their news extremely fast. After obtaining info that the Azure Dragon Triad had been annihilated, they immediately sent a group towards Nanshan Street to fight for control of the territory, and came across Yun Qiang's team.

A decent-looking woman with fair skin, called Zheng Yun whom had a huge knife scar running across her face that disfigured her looks, was also the 4th Sister of the Vermillion Phoenix Triad. She looked at Yun Qiang with the huge troops behind him as she asked coolly, "Boss Yun, what is the meaning of this?"

The 23 young women behind Zheng Yun wielded their huge knives as they stared at Yun Qiang fixedly, the moment Zheng Yun gave the order, they would rush forward to hack Yun Qiang and the other men to death.

The Vermillion Phoenix Triad could survive in this cruel post-apocalyptic world was because they had the capability. The women in the triad were extremely tight and united. With one order from Zheng Yun, even if they know of the imminent death, they would rush up to battle to the death.

Yun Qiang eyed Zheng Yun, as he coldly smiled and threatened, "Zheng Yun! Our boss Yue Zhong has given the order to subdue you all. Surrender immediately, or face imminent death!"

The nice guys that did not hit nor kill women did exist in the post-apocalyptic world! However, they were few and usually not in power.

Those who could survive for so long were usually leaders that did not care so much about chivalry. If there were obstructions to their goals, they would dispose of the person, regardless of gender. Human life had little value anymore.

"Yue Zhong?" Zheng Yun glanced at Yun Qiang, then looked at the .03 rifles his subordinates were holding and frowned. After Yun Qiang came into the possession of these guns, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated, even if the 23 knife-wielding members of her Vermillion Phoenix Triad were to rush up, they would only become riddled with bullet holes.

Zheng Yun hesitated for a moment, before saying, "I can't make the decision! I need to confirm with Liu Jie-jie! Please wait here first!"

Cheng Yu eyed Zheng Yun in front of Yun Qiang and said coldly, "Go! I will only wait for an hour. After an hour, if you still haven't come to a decision, don't blame me for being rude!"

Women still deserve a little leeway after all. Cheng Yu saw the determination of the 23 women in front. If Zheng Yun were to give the order, these crazy women would definitely engage in an all-out battle. He was reluctant to slaughter them.

Zheng Yun heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately sent one of the her subordinates to go report back to their headquarters.

"Big Sis! What do we do?" A dark-skinned woman of huge stature and big limbs asked softly looking towards her leader, Liu Yujiao; who had extremely slender legs, bountiful curves, and exquisite looks.

Dedition: Pretty looks? Smart? Welcome to another member of the harem. *Scattered applause*

Johnyxn: Another concubine on the list.

Liu Yujiao was not a simple woman. She was also extremely capable and calculating. At the initial stages of the apocalypse, she had manipulated countless numbers of men to sell themselves for her. As one can imagine, this ensured her survival in this cruel world.

After that, she came to a small power and before long, with the exploitation of her looks and strength, she managed to steal away those women who were constantly abused by the people within that small power and established her Vermillion Phoenix Triad.

Liu Yujiao was extremely intelligent. She specialized in looking out for women who had received abuse or humiliation, and by extending a little helping hand, she gained the fierce loyalty of these women.

At the same time, she trained them up to become fighters that could hold their own against men. These women who had lost their self-respect and everything in their lives, having been given a second chance, became Liu Yujiao's most loyal supporters.

Liu Yujiao frowned as she pondered quietly: "Yue Zhong! It really is him. This time, it's hard to get out of this!"

Liu Yujiao had also recently gotten wind of Yue Zhong's fame. She had insiders within SY County's government and although they weren't very high ranking, their information was still relevant. The fact that Yue Zhong had murdered the Director of the Tax Bureau Yuan Yeshan had caused waves and reached her ears.

Someone who could murder the Director of the Tax Bureau and still get away with it, if he wanted to snuff out the Vermillion Phoenix Triad, it would be beyond simple.

"I need to meet him personally!" Liu Yujiao stood up, and her eyes flashed with a resolute glint. While her personal strength might not be enough to overcome Yue Zhong, the only method she had left was to convince him.

"Big Sis! Let me go with you!" Liu Manyu, another beauty with long black hair, delicate and fair skin, and pretty features stood up and told Liu Yujiao.

A group that consisted entirely of females would find it extremely hard to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. Liu Manyu was responsible for public relations. Just with her efforts alone, she managed to source for the protection and backing of a few powerful factions. Due to that, Vermillion Phoenix Triad could stand on equal grounds with the Black Tiger Gang as well as the Azure Dragon Triad.

Without a strong backing, any small force would not be able to stand up to the government. Just a few policemen could annihilate the entire triad.

Liu Yujiao maintained her stance and said, "No, this time I have to go personally. Otherwise, our Vermillion Phoenix Triad will truly cease to exist!"

Liu Yujiao passed on some commands to her 2 sisters: "If I can't come back, you all should disband! If they get you all surrounded, just surrender!"

"Big Sis!!"

"Big Sis!! Let me go with you!"

Liu Manyu, Zhang Lili looked and shouted loudly for Liu Yujiao to change her mind. However, the Vermillion Phoenix Triad leader did not give a second look, as she left with big strides.

Yue Zhong glanced at the lady Liu Yujiao in front of him as he asked indifferently, "So you are Vermillion Phoenix Triad's leader Liu Yujiao?"

Liu Yujiao was currently standing in front of Yue Zhong clad entirely in tight black, with black leather boots and a whip hanging by her waist accentuating her explosive figure and fully exuding her commanding charm.

Liu Yujiao smiled lightly towards Yue Zhong, as she did not hold back with her appeal: "That's right! I am Liu Yujiao. Boss Yue, this time I've come to plead the same case as the Black Tiger Gang, that is for you to let us Vermillion Phoenix Triad off! As long as you let us off, from today onwards, I will bring the triad to follow your lead!"

While Liu Yujiao could not compare to Zhuo Yatong or Zhou Yanxue in terms of absolute beauty, she knew how to use her attractiveness effectively.

So naturally every single move of hers was done with calculation to attract and move hearts. That, coupled with the strong independent character she had forged for herself, gave a strong intense desire in men to dominate her. However, these men usually became the stepping stones on her path.

Yue Zhong looked coldly at Liu Yujiao, and his eyes did not even contain a hint of excitement: "State your price! As long as you offer something worthy, I will let you continue living!"

Amongst Yue Zhong's harem, he had 3 absolute beauties, he wasn't the sort that would be fazed by more beauties. Liu Yujiao's charm was ineffective against him.

Ulamog: Hahaha ye teammates of little faith! Yue Zhong is too picky for this chick!

Liu Yujiao saw that her charms did not work on Yue Zhong, and she finally revealed her last resort: "Bullets!! I'm not sure if you will be interested in making bullets?"

"You know how to make bullets?" Hearing Liu Yujiao's words, Yue Zhong's eyes finally shone with a hint of anticipation, and the gaze he had for Liu Yujiao was also different.

"No! Not me!" Seeing that her final resort had worked, Liu Yujiao lightly smiled, before continuing. "But I know someone who does."

Yue Zhong finally revealed a smile: "Very good! As long as you hand the person to me, I will let your Vermillion Phoenix Triad off! However, as Xinglong Street Nanshan Street and Xingye Street are under my control, your triad will have to leave."

Bullets were hard to manufacture. While Yue Zhong now had men who could re-install bullets, the amount was not much. However, Yue Zhong did not possess the skill to manufacture bullets, and reinstalling bullets had its cons, one of that was that the reused bullets had low accuracy. Bullets that were not accurate were of no threat to zombies, and having new bullets was an issue that weighed heavily on Yue Zhong's shoulders.

If Yue Zhong could manufacture his own bullets, his forces would increase their fighting capabilities. The Vermillion Phoenix Triad was nothing compared to the skill.

"Boss Yue! I have one more request!" Liu Yujiao continued to look at him with her round eyes, "I hope to follow in the Black Tiger Gang's footsteps and join your faction, to work for you.

While the fighting capabilities of our Vermillion Phoenix Triad may not be on par with your subordinates, we are extremely efficient with our information gathering. If you need, we can become your eyes and ears!"

"Fine!" Yue Zhong looked at Liu Yujiao, and lightly laughed as he promised her. This was a smart woman, and she knew how to get to where she wanted.

With Yue Zhong as a backer, the Vermillion Phoenix Triad could only expand further. In the post-apocalyptic world, it was not possible to survive without a strong support, one would only be bullied without it.

Yue Zhong gave an order to Liu Yujiao: "I have a mission for you, within 5 days, I want the entire Xinglong Street, Nanshan Street and Xingye Street to be cleansed of the riff-raff, thieves and liars; they are to be captured and brought to me. I will give you 10 .03 rifles, with 300 bullets, and send some experts to assist you guys! Those who resist are to be executed on the spot!"

"Yes! Boss Yue!! I will carry this out." Liu Yujiao replied excitedly!

On the other side, the Black Tiger's Yun Qiang also received the same mission.

In the following 5 days, the Black Tiger Gang and Vermillion Phoenix Triad joined forces and engaged on an extensive sweep of Xinglong Street, Nanshan Street as well as Xingye Street.

They ended up capturing all the hoodlums, liars and thieves and sent them to Yue Zhong. They were after all the leaders of the their groups and were extremely well-informed of the territories, so these riff-raff could not escape their attention. After the 5 days, all 3 streets had transformed into a safe and secure place.

The hoodlums, liars and thieves were all forced to become a coolie battalion (TN: Seriously what is up with the author haha) and made to clean all 3 streets, as well as to clean up the ditches of the dirty water and smelly contents.

Whoever was caught littering or anyhow doing their business was thrown into the coolie battalion and made to do corrective work order. Soon, no one dared to relieve themselves nor litter on the streets. The hygiene on the streets became a lot better.

After cleaning up the 3 streets, they were split into 8 different gangs, each gang possessing 50 to 60 fighters, and the total number was over 500.

After the 8 gangs were established, they immediately sent a request to SY County to seek permission to search for items on the outskirts. After obtaining approval, these 8 gangs brought people and left SY County, when they just disappeared, with only a few coming back.

After these 8 gangs disappeared, not long after, another 8 gangs were established, and again they gathered over a few hundred survivors. After some time, these new gangs again sent a request to be allowed to go out to search for resources. They left and disappeared in the same manner. Through this method, Yue Zhong covertly smuggled a number of the survivors in SY County out.

Chapter 0267 – Assasination Attempt!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong looked to the extremely skinny and cultured-looking Gao Ming, who seemed 37 or 38, and asked, "You know how to create bullets?"

Gao Ming flinched a little before replying, "I do know how to make bullets. However, without the proper tools and materials, I can't do it!"

Creating bullets was not a simple matter, without the right tools and materials, even an expert would not be able to make them.

Yue Zhong continued, "Where can I find the items you need?"

Gao Ming immediately began to reply with a torrent of words, "Long Hai County!! I was the Technical Director of the XXX Machinery Plant in Long Hai County. In the machinery plant, there is an entire set of tools that can create bullets, as well as materials enough to create a million bullets. Furthermore, the XXX Machinery Plant has some barrel manufacturing tools…."

From Gao Ming's info Yue Zhong discovered that within Long Hai County, there were factories that specialized in manufacturing all sorts of ammunition. There were also factories that made mortars, grenades and even artillery shells. If they could subdue Long Hai County, then Yue Zhong's army would stand to benefit hugely.

"Should I make an attempt to attack Long Hai County?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Yue Zhong was thinking quietly to himself.

Currently, whenever Yue Zhong wanted to send his forces out to clear the zombies around his strongholds, he could only send 3 out of his 7 battalions. The remaining 4 had to always be on guard in case SY County attacked.

If he sent out a huge force to Long Hai County, and SY County were to suddenly backstab him, then Yue Zhong would be in danger. Long Hai County had over 700,000 zombies, and it wasn't a small number.

Furthermore, the zombies were continually evolving, and were not as easy to kill as before.

At that time, the reason SY County had been easily subdued by the military was due to the fact that not only was the military well-equipped, the zombies had not yet evolved to a fearsome level. Now that the zombies were continually adapting, the 700,000 zombies were stronger than a 700,000 zombie horde of the initial apocalypse by a wide margin. If Yue Zhong wanted to thoroughly eliminate the zombies, he would have to expend a huge force.

After pondering a while, Yue Zhong decided to abandon the plan to set out for Long Hai County, as the threat of SY County was still too huge to ignore.

"Go back to Qing Yuan County first! I appoint you as the Production Director in the Ammunition Production Department with a rank of Lieutenant. Once you are in Qing Yuan County, immediately train up a group of people. Even if it's in theory, it's fine.

Once I've obtained the materials and tools, we will have to start production straight away. As long as there are bullets manufactured, I will appoint you as the Deputy Minister of the department with a rank of Captain.

If you can manage to manufacture grenades, then I will appoint you as the Minister, with a rank of Major. As long as you work hard, if you want to be an official I will confer upon you the official position. If you want women, you will get women!" Yue Zhong stared at Gao Ming as he said this clearly.

Gao Ming's eyes filled with warm tears, as he replied in a loud voice. "Thank you Boss Yue! Thank you!! I will definitely work hard for you!!"

Gao Ming was a technical person, and unless he met with some fortune, he was basically useless. He could not even hope to compare with the likes of a farmer. As a farmer had more strength and energy than him, the farmer could at least fight and risk it all. In the post apocalyptic world, a farmer or villager who could fight and dared to risk, gained benefits.

Before meeting Yue Zhong, Gao Ming had been living on, meal to meal day to day. If it wasn't for Queen Bee Liu Yujiao accepting him, he might have already become a pile of bones.

Liu Yujiao had an astute foresight. She knew Gao Ming was useless to normal triads. But to stable powers with ambitions, he was a treasure that was hard to come by. Therefore, it was considered that due to her sharp foresight, she saved the Vermillion Phoenix Triad as well as gifted Yue Zhong with such an impressive technical worker.

After settling Gao Ming, Yue Zhong strode towards the outside.

"Left turn, Maaarch!!"

As Yue Zhong came close to the river, he saw Chen Shitou currently training the 400 survivors he had just gathered.

Chen Shitou had grown to become an outstanding commander after countless hours of training, and he was extremely adept at training new recruits. Therefore, Yue Zhong had specially arranged for him to be transferred over to train these survivors.

These 400 survivors were currently decked in green military clothes, and were training diligently under Chen Shitou's orders. After joining Yue Zhong's power, they could eat their fill everyday and even meat from time to time. This led them to feel extremely grateful to Yue Zhong, and they gave their all during training.

It must be clear that there were countless people who were envious of their current good fortune, and if they were to be eliminated, someone else would immediately fight to gain their position.

When Yue Zhong appeared on the street, the initially dirty and smelly alley had been cleaned up. The numerous reeking piles and puddles of noxious human waste that appeared everywhere was nowhere to be seen, and the litter had long been cleaned up, giving the entire street a clean and fresh feel.

"The target has appeared!!" Just as Yue Zhong was walking alone in the street, Su Chen who had been lying in ambush for an entire 7 days in Xinglong street gave the order, his eyes flashing dangerously.

At that moment, Yue Zhong felt a strong sense of impending danger, and he immediately activated his Shadow Steps, before retreating backwards swiftly.

With 3 loud bangs, 3 bullets from indeterminate locations shot over towards Yue Zhong.

While Yue Zhong's reaction was extremely fast, out of the 3 snipers, 2 were top snipers of the military, and the remainder had the Sniper Specialization Skill.

Yue Zhong managed to dodge 2 of the sniper bullets, but was shot in the right shoulder by the last bullet. The force of that sniper bullet was fearsome! Upon impact even the Type 2 Mutant Black-scaled Boar hide that Yue Zhong was wearing could not cancel out the force, and Yue Zhong felt as though an expert had used his entire strength to blast him, fracturing a bone.

This was under the condition that Yue Zhong had high Endurance. Be aware that if it was any normal person, even donning the various hides as protection would still definitely have their entire shoulder blasted apart and they would be unable to move. Even Yue Zhong found that he could not utilize his right arm after that shot.

The moment the attack landed, Su Chen had already brought 8 experts and rushed over.

Furthermore, there were 2 other experts hiding in another room, and they looked at Yue Zhong as they started to chant different magical incantations. These skills were dropped from the God and Devil System, and though they required a long casting time, their might was immense. The moment they launched the attack, even Yue Zhong would be annihilated by the skill.

Yue Zhong glanced at the 2 chanting experts, and a chill appeared in his eyes. He quickly drew a .03 rifle in his left hand and fired frenzily towards the 2 chanting assassins.

A dense hail of bullets was fired at the 2 assassins, when all of a sudden a huge bear appeared in front of the 2 assassins. The enormous bear used its massive body to block the assault. This was one of the skills that the 2 experts possess, summoning a beast to block Yue Zhong's attack.

Su Chen brought the 8 experts as they all launched their attacks on Yue Zhong. The attackers used their hands to hit the ground forcefully and a huge spear shot towards Yue Zhong from underground, aiming for his waist.

Yue Zhong's face instantly changed as he moved his body in a flash, and dodged the incoming underground spike. His immediate response was to raise his gun at Su Chen and the other 8 experts and once again "Spray and Pray" wildly.

Ulamog: so this is a term kind of used to say one pulls the trigger and simply unloads the magazine hoping to hit the target(s). Usually it's in reference to a machine gun or a weapon with very high rates of fire. IE: more bullets, higher chance of hitting something.

Enhancers were still human after all, with the exception of those with overpowered defences guns still posed a threat to most enhancers.

Amongst the group of assassins, one lunged forward and waved his hands to activate a Psychic Barrier Skill. Yue Zhong's bullets floated in the air and were immediately dispersed by the Psychic Barrier.

Ulamog: how cheaty….

3 of the Agility-based assassins activated their Shadow Steps, pushing their speed to the maximum. They attacked while wielding daggers, and came from 3 different directions to lock Yue Zhong down.

An assassin with the Firearms Control Skill pulled out a .05 submachine gun and fired at Yue Zhong wildly.

Another 2 Strength-based assassins also activated their skills. The both of them were lugging a large hammer and a mace respectively, each weighing over a 100 jin, as they rushed towards Yue Zhong.

Those huge hammers and mace type of weapons were extremely effective for Strength-based Enhancers to wreak havoc among normal humans. With the swing of the 2m-long mace, regardless of one's swordplay or blade skills, it was useless.

Su Chen icily kept his eyes on Yue Zhong like his prey, preparing to activate everything at a moment's notice.

Immediate Summon!

Yue Zhong activated this skill in an instant, and White Bones appeared from goodness knows where, and stood in front of Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong activated his Encompassing Bone Armor, and the bullets from the .05 rifles bounced off his body.

Yue Zhong's right shoulder was temporarily incapacitated, and his strongest weapon the anti-tank rocket launcher could not be utilised to deal with these assassins.

Plan B. He looked towards the assassin with the Firearms Control Skill and activated his Art of Fear Skill. A huge oppressive aura assaulted the mind of the assassin, and he threw up fresh blood, before he fell to floor with horror in his eyes, and died with a twisted expression.

At the same time, he extended his palm, and 3 bone spears shot towards the Agility-based assassins.

The eyes of the 3 assassins were filled with shock and dread, as they hastily retreated, trying to escape the reach of the bone spears. However, while they were fast, the speed of the bone spears was faster, and within a few blinks, the 3 assassins had been pierced in the heart, head and throat, before they fell to the ground twitching in death.

While Yue Zhong was taking care of the 4 assassins, the other 2 Strength-based Assassins took advantage of the time to rush to Yue Zhong's side. Arriving there they yelled as they swung their weapons downwards ferociously. If the attacks landed, even if Yue Zhong was covered with the Bone Armor, he would definitely suffer heavy injuries. Maybe even death…

Chapter 0268 – Tragic Victory

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 268: Tragic Victory!

Yue Zhong's feet shifted and his body flashed, dodging towards the side.

Yue Zhong had just stepped to the side, when the sniper with the Sniper Specialization Skill fired another shot.

An armor-piercing round immediately shot towards Yue Zhong's body, shooting through his waist, and smashing a piece of bone armor.

Sniping a moving target from afar was a really hard feat to accomplish. Prior to the apocalypse, the sniper was already a top sniper. Coupled with the Sniper Specialization Skill, and even allocating a skill point to it, it allowed his sniping skills to reach unprecedented heights. He could efficiently utilize an ultra-long range sniper rifle with his dynamic skills.

The other 2 snipers also fired at Yue Zhong continuously. It was fortunate that they could not achieve the type of overpowered firing that their comrade was exhibiting. As their bullets landed on Yue Zhong's sides, it gave him a sort of pressure. At the same time it also limited his movement space.

Yue Zhong took a deep breath as his Danger Perception Skill was pushed to its maximum, reminding him of the fearsome hold the snipers had over him.

Once he became careless, he would absolutely suffer some injuries from them as well. This was the most dangerous situation he had ever been in since the apocalypse.

Compared to the Mutant Beasts and zombies, humans were much more intelligent and could utilize their skills as a team. Even if their skills could not match him individually, when together? They created an extremely tough situation for Yue Zhong to handle.

Yue Zhong's body continually flashed about like a spectre as he made his way towards a small ditch. He had the confidence to be certain he could kill the 2 Strength-based assassins in 2 breaths The problem was that while killing them, he would suffer the magic incantations of the spell casting experts.

The magic incantation skills possessed a frightening power, and the best way to deal with it was to kill them before the process was finished. If they released the skill, Yue Zhong would face a larger problem.

Yue Zhong's speed was inhumane, and only an Agility-based Evolver or those Enhancers who focused on Agility growth could surpass him. As illustrated by the fact that Su Chen and the rest were not even able to catch up to Yue Zhong's afterimage

Right at this time, Su Chen's eyes flashed with a domineering chill as he activated his Vertical Gravity Skill on Yue Zhong.

In that instant, Yue Zhong felt his body becoming heavier, even much heavier! As a gravitational force 3 times that of usual pressed down on him, it severely constrained his speed.

"Damn it!!" Yue Zhong's eyes glinted fiercely in anger. With his speed now, wanting to escape to the other side of the ditch would only result in him becoming a target for those expert snipers. With the pursuit from the assassins behind, he would have to pay a hefty price to even think of escaping to the ditch.

The small assassin team led by Su Chen had incredible teamwork, and their methods vicious. Their exemplary teamwork managed to come up with counters to each and every ability of Yue Zhong's. Of course having made so many preparations, they were well prepared just to force him down a road of despair.

"You want my life?! You'll have to pay for it first!!" A maniacal killing intent surfaced in Yue Zhong's eyes, as he charged towards the Strength-based assassins.

Seeing that Yue Zhong was rushing over, the heavy weapons-wielding duo grinned in delight, as they waved their massive weapons towards Yue Zhong to crush him. After all, with his speed it would be impossible for him to dodge their attacks completely.

Yue Zhong did not show any hints of dodging in his actions. Instead, he activated his Art of Fear skill as he ran and the fearsome monstrous aura spread out with Yue Zhong at the centre.

Those within a certain circumference could not escapethe terror. The 2 Strength-based enhancers were enveloped by that Soul-chilling aura nearly immediately. As their Spirit stat was low, they could not defend against its assault and fell to the ground, terrified and broken.

Yue Zhong's Art of Fear also reached Su Chen, it was somewhat u expected though that while Su Chen's Spirit was not as high as Yue Zhong, it wasn't low either. All he felt was a little headache, as he swiftly retreated backwards in response.

Dedition: That crappy excuse…

Yue Zhong wanted to rush towards Su Chen but was suddenly hindered when the assassin possessing the Ground Manipulation ability struck the ground, and a sharp spike rose from the earth in front of Yue Zhong almost bifurcating him at the crotch and thoroughly blocking his advance.

Yue Zhong opened his right palm, and shot a Bone Spear towards the ground, propelling him upwards as he spread his legs to avoid the tip of the spike and angled himself perfectly in descent. The result was a beautiful looking maneuver followed by Yue Zhong shooting fiercely towards Su Chen like an arrow.

The assassin wielding the .05 submachine gun took out a hand grenade at this time and threw it at Yue Zhong.

With a bang, the grenade exploded in front of Yue Zhong. A fearsome amount of shrapnel flew out, causing Yue Zhong to be blasted backwards.

Yue Zhong tried to dodge at the first moment, but was still heavily struck by the sudden attack from the grenade, and parts of his Encompassing Bone Armor were shattered and sent flying by that attack. Fortunately, the shrapnel and resulting explosion did not affect his body that was boosted by his high Endurance.

"Go die!!" While in mid-air, Yue Zhong looked towards that assassin with the .05 submachine gun, and activated his Art of Fear skill.

The assassin wielding the .05 submachine gun immediately went rigid with fear, as he curled up, and let out a soundless scream while struggling, before he spat out a mouthful of blood and died.

Seeing this scene, the assassins with the Psychic Barrier and Ground Manipulation Skills immediately felt fear. This was the first time they saw someone being killed off by such an ability.

Right at this time, the 2 assassins muttering their incantations finished the chanting. Their Level 2 Skills Rapid Fireballs and Great Wind Blade finally activated, as 5 bright red fireballs like a row of pearls and the Wind Blade shot towards Yue Zhong.

If there was a special characteristic of the God and Devil System spells, it was that as long as a user had used his or her Spirit to lock on to the target and finish casting the spell, the activated spell would definitely hone in on the target. Due to this, Su Chen had selected 2 of his strongest Enhancers with magic skills to deal with Yue Zhong.

"Break for me!!" Yue Zhong faced the fearsome Rapid Fireballs and the Great Wind Blade, his eyes flashed as he activated his Devil Flame skill and with a wave of his right hand he instantly expended 50 Spirit points and 20 Stamina points to produce a huge fireball that met the attacks of the spells head on; exploding upon impact.

Under the catastrophic explosion, the Rapid Fireballs and Great Wind Blade dispersed violently. However, they were after all Level 2 skills, and had undergone enhancement. They managed to break past the Devil Flame fireball, and exploded on Yue Zhong's body, knocking him back 6 -7 metres when they hit. He crashed into a nearby building violently, resulting in a huge hole amidst dust and debris.

Fire-attribute skills tend to be more offensive, while ice-attribute skills tend to favour defence. If Yue Zhong had obtained an ice-attribute skill, then as a Spirit-based Evolver, he would just have to expend the necessary amount of force to deal with the attacks. While the Devil Flame was devastating in terms of its destructive power, it did little to protect Yue Zhong, and was of not much use to block the remaining attacks.

Su Chen saw that Yue Zhong had received the full brunt of the explosion, and he immediately rushed towards Yue Zhong's position swiftly. He wanted to make sure Yue Zhong was dead, if not, he would make use of the chance to end Yue Zhong's life.

Su Chen didn't have much time left. The battle had caused a huge disturbance, and Yue Zhong's subordinates were most likely on their way. The moment they arrived, if Yue Zhong was not dead then their assassination would be a failure.

Su Chen made his way hastily towards the large hole, when a sharp bone spear suddenly shot out from the settling dust, aiming for Su Chen's head.

Seeing that the Bone Spear was almost going to penetrate Su Chen's brain, the assassin with the Psychic Barrier Skill activated his skill and a transparent wall appeared in front of Su Chen preventing the Bone Spear from piercing through!

Yue Zhong leapt out from the hole right after. By this time, the Encompassing Bone Armor on his face had already been blasted away, his hair was burnt black, and even his eyebrows were burnt off. He had multiple wounds across his face and on his chest, there was even a deep slash piercing though the Bone Armor.

Fortunately the Type 2 Black Scaled Boar hide was sturdy, there was only a long white scar on the hide that was a result of the Great Wind Blade.

After jumping out from the debris, Yue Zhong felt his whole face burning in pain, as though someone was spraying him constantly with a high pressure hose. His high Endurance had saved him once again, if it had been less than 60 points, he might have lost his life to those spells.

"I want to see how your Psychic Barrier will block this!" With that, Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a murderous glint, and the Devil Flame appeared in his right hand again. Expending yet another 20 points of Spirit to mold it into a spear, he threw it with all his might; the Devil Flame Spear shot towards the heart of the Psychic Barrier Enhancer.

The Psychic Barrier user had gotten on Yue Zhong's nerves for the last time. Without him, Yue Zhong had many chances to wipe out the rest of the assassins.

The Psychic Barrier user was taken aback, as he raised his hands and conjured another transparent wall in front of him.

The Devil Flame Spear Yue Zhong molded exploded violently on the transparent barrier, and the resulting force broke the barrier into pieces. The flying pieces struck the Enhancer's face and at the same time, the Enhancer was assaulted by the intense flame and explosion.

"Ah!!!!" The Psychic Barrier Enhancer could only let out an anguished scream, as he was enveloped by the fearsome Devil Flames and was lit ablaze. The result was that he almost instantly died a most miserable death with noxious charred smelling smoke billowing off of his crispy corpse even after the flame died out.

Su Chen's eyes flashed coldly as he directly raised his hands, and intended to throw a grenade towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong waved his hands and a .05 submachine gun appeared in his left hand, as he raised it and fired wildly at Su Chen.

Su Chen did not dodge the small caliber fire. Instead, his body seemed to emit a strange holy light preventing the bullets of the .05 submachine gun from penetrating.

Su Chen swung his hands, and another hand grenade flew towards Yue Zhong.

With a bang, even though Yue Zhong tried to dodge, under the effect of the 3-times gravity, his movement was too slow. Of course this made him affected by the resulting explosion of the grenade, propelling him through the air for 6 metres, while the shrapnel cut into his head. The flying debris caused numerous ugly wounds again to his already painful face.

Yue Zhong pointed towards Su Chen and raised a finger, as a huge fireball and an ice pick was conjured out of thin air, viciously smashing onto the protective aura surrounding Su Chen.

The protection of Su Chen had its limits as well, after the force of the fireball and ice pick, the strange light vibrated, before it disappeared entirely.

Su Chen's face was cold by this time, and his eyes flashed with a hint of frenzy, as he knew he could not escape Yue Zhong's pursuit. He also abandoned all hopes of escaping, instead he threw out another grenade with extreme haste.

Yue Zhong jumped to the side, and he waved his hand pulling out his Stinger, firing 3 times rapidly at Su Chen.

3 Stinger bullets landed on Su Chen's skull and with a light puff of blood proceeded to bore through, directly causing it to explode into pieces! The pink pulpy brain residue splattered violently out the back and sprayed onto the ground behind Su Chen with a sickening series of "Glop" noises.

The grenade exploded not far from Yue Zhong, and the blazing explosive force blew Yue Zhong back 7 metres as he slammed into another wall violently. With bits and pieces of shrapnel again cutting into his face and body, adding on to the amount of injuries.

Ulamog: Apocalypse Glam Magazine: Most Scarred man Poses for cover photo next issue!

"What a tough fellow to deal with!!" Yue Zhong coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and stood up and checked Su Chen who had just been shot in the brain by him. He couldn't help but give a high evaluation of this person in front of him.

Not only was Su Chen thoroughly ruthless towards Yue Zhong, he was the same towards himself. He didn't even leave behind a path of retreat. If Yue Zhong wasn't an Evolver, the assassination attempt this time might very well have succeeded.

After eliminating Su Chen, Yue Zhong swiftly advanced, wanting to detain the rest of the assassins. However, when he rushed out, he realised they had already fled the scene.

By this time, Chen Shitou had brought a hundred guards as they rushed over and he asked worriedly: "Commander Yue, are you alright?"

Yue Zhong sullenly gave the order: "Immediately conduct an investigation, go notify Cheng Yu, get him to bring men and set off for the SY County area. Whoever attacks, they're free to retaliate. They cannot open fire first, and whoever dares to stop the investigation, let them know about the assassination attempt on me!!"

Chen Shitou saw Yue Zhong full of wounds, and his heart was filled with unbridled fury as he replied, "Understood, Commander Yue!!"

Chen Shitou quickly brought men to search every single household of the 3 streets, not a single person resisted. They were all frightened as they watched on, not daring to hinder the investigation.

On the other side, Cheng Yu brought over a 100 soldiers that were recently undergoing training, carrying their .03 rifles as they rushed towards the downtown area of SY County.

The over-hundred soldiers carrying .03 rifles was a fearsome force, watching Cheng Yu bringing these men into SY County gave rise to a lot of shock and panic amongst the masses

Chapter 0269 – Restraint

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 269: Restraint

The entire SY City was startled by the sudden wail of sirens constantly sounding out as police squadrons hurried over one after another. As they arrived they grouped up forming many blockade lines.

The one hundred riot policemen stationed nearby were also rapidly mobilised to form a defensive line at the front. Cheng Yu brought people over, only to see that those policemen hadn't actually opened fire yet. The survivors had occupied various bunkers and were armed, beginning to face off against the police.

"Hello to the little brother over there! I am the Bureau Chief of the Police Station Niu Jinbao! I don't know what has happened to cause your side to start a riot like this…?"

A fat, middle-aged man with a massive beer belly and reeking of the sweat streaking down off him in waves, used a loudspeaker to shout loudly towards Cheng Yu's side.

Niu Jinbao was extremely hesitant to engage in a battle with Cheng Yu's side. If both sides started to fight, it would be very difficult to avoid casualties. He himself, certainly didn't wish to die. Moreover, if he were the one to fire the first shot, then things would get troublesome from then on.

Cheng Yu threatened coldly,

"You people actually dare to try assassinate our Commander Yue!?! Do you really think that we're that easy to bully? If you don't give us a confession, then we will have no choice but to fight it out! Even if the battle carries on until only one man is remaining. We will not give up on our revenge!"

Niu Jinbao replied loudly in an appeasing manner,

"Misunderstanding!! This is only a misunderstanding! You wait a moment; first, let me go to Mayor Wen to quickly make a report! Think carefully! This matter should only be a misunderstanding!! You guys should first disperse, alright?"

Cheng Yu continued to threaten icily,

"Hmph! We will wait here! I will wait 4 hours for you. If 4 hours have passed and I still don't see Wen Baoguo or Peng Mingde, then we will launch an attack. Even if we all die in battle here, our 4000 brothers in Ning Guang County will still avenge us!!"

Cheng Yu was also very clear on the fact that Yue Zhong was rather unwilling to engage in battle with SY County. However, if it continued in this way, that loftiness would become even more difficult to dissolve.

They would only be able to obtain greater benefits by being more aggressive.

Niu Jinbao wiped off some cold sweat and called over his own assistant Wu En, speaking in a stern voice.

"Wu En! I want to go see Mayor Wen, so this place will be left to you. Remember, don't provoke the opposing side, and we also must not fire the first shot. If anything happens, you'll be the only one responsible!!"

"Got it!"

Glancing at Niu Jinbao, Wu En replied coldly.

This Niu Jinbao's ability was much lower than that of Wu En's, it was just that Niu Jinbao was good at currying favor and had various supporters behind the scenes. Those were the only reasons for why he was able to firmly step down on Wu En's head, hence Wu En naturally held Niu Jinbao in contempt.

After leaving commands for Wu En, Niu Jinbao immediately got into a car and hurried towards Wen Baoguo's office. He reported everything from the beginning to the end.

"What?! Yue Zhong was met with an assassination attempt?? Has he died or not?"

Hearing Niu Jinbao's report, Wen Baoguo's face paled and he asked solemnly. The matter of Yue Zhong's life and death directly affected SY City's attitude towards his forces.

Niu Jinbao lowered his head and thought for a while before saying,

"I don't know!"

"You just said, Yue Zhong's subordinate brought troops over to confront you?"

Wen Baoguo's eyebrows furrowed as he continued to question.

Niu Jinbao quickly replied,

"Mm! It is like this!"

A hint of disappointment flashed past Wen Baoguo's eyes,

"Then he should still be alive! Otherwise his subordinates wouldn't have all fought their way over here and fail to keep this sort of restraint!"

If Yue Zhong did die, the huge force he had established by himself would definitely fall apart, making it just right for SY City Base to send out troops and eliminate those forces, to eventually become the true overlord of the entire region.

Yue Zhong's side and SY City had both restrained themselves from battle because both sides had similar battle strength. Even if one side forcefully annexed the other, the winning side would still suffer disastrous damages.

Wen Baoguo contemplated for a while, before standing up and striding out of his office.

"I am SY City's Mayor Wen Baoguo, here to see Yue Zhong!"

Wen Baoguo rushed up very quickly to the frontlines of the two sides' confrontation and said to Cheng Yu.

"Please enter!"

Cheng Yu glanced at Wen Baoguo and leaned sideways, allowing him to pass through.

Without showing any signs of fear, Wen Baoguo thus proceeded to stride into the streets by himself without any bodyguards.

Currently, the three old streets were very heavily guarded; warriors armed with Type 03 Rifles defending each and every road, coldly watching everything that was happening.

All the gangs, (such as the Black Tiger Gang and the Vermillion Bird Gang) began to move out while inquiring everywhere for information about the assassination or assassins.

Fifteen warriors of the Special Combat Battalion had also returned, each of them concealing themselves in the vicinity of the villa in which Yue Zhong was residing. With such tight security, it was simply impossible for anyone to make an attempt on Yue Zhong's life again.

Inside the villa, Wen Baoguo saw the nearly disfigured Yue Zhong lying on a bed with his head nestled in Tong Xiaoyun's embrace. His face was covered in swollen purple lacerations and burn marks.

A small puddle of blood had run down his body and dyed the sheets crimson from the numerous wounds everywhere on him. He almost didn't dare to believe that the near-disfigured man before him was actually Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong glanced at Wen Baoguo and spoke tersely, his voice overflowing with killing intent.

"Mayor Wen, you've come! SY City's security really is substandard. Today I almost died in SY City.

SY City really does have skilled individuals in hiding, making me really want to go on a killing spree and use artillery to plow through this place at once! If you and Secretary Peng are unable of giving me justice, then just let me use cannons and bayonets in exchange for justice instead!"

"Yue Zhong, you mustn't be impulsive! Today's matter, none of us wanted to see it. I will make people properly investigate this incident and bring you justice."

Wen Baoguo's eyebrows furrowed as he spoke in a low voice. He didn't actually believe that SY City's military strength was weaker than that of Yue Zhong's. If they fought though, both parties would definitely suffer huge losses. He was afraid that Yue Zhong was as rash as he was young, and might really bring all his troops to fight it out with SY County's military.

Yue Zhong stared at Wen Baoguo and spoke in a heavy tone. "Su Tianyang! The person who wanted to assassinate me is Su Tianyang!

There were a total of 15 Enhancers above Level 10 who came to kill me today! 3 of them were expert snipers, and it's obvious that only the military or government commands such experts.

After coming to SY County, the only person I have not seen eye-to-eye with was Su Tianyang. I believe only he would have expended such forces. Therefore the only person who could have ordered the assassination is Su Tianyang."

Wen Baoguo frowned, and he replied softly, "This is just your conjecture! Do you have evidence? Without evidence, you can't just go around spouting nonsense."

Su Tianyang was after all the son of one of the 5 heads of the military. A person with such a background could not be slandered nor deemed guilty without evidence just because of Yue Zhong's words.

Yue Zhong coldly stared at Wen Baoguo: "Evidence?! Sure, I will find it for you! I'm tired. Please go back now."

"Please rest well then!" Wen Baoguo said, as he walked towards the exit.

Yue Zhong had actually gotten a treasure from Su Chen's body and was thoroughly exploring it.

""Level 3 Treasure: Sacred Arm Guard. Upon equip, Strength 2. It gives the user the skill Sacred Protection, which allows one to activate a Barrier of Sacred Protection to protect themself from a set amount of harm. Cooldown: 24 hours."

Su Chen had used this Sacred Protection to protect himself as a last resort. However, Yue Zhong's attacks were too ferocious, and the Sacred Protection had not lasted more than a few hits before collapsing.

Yue Zhong directly equipped the Sacred Arm Guard. Who knew if it might save his life at some critical juncture in the future.

Su Tianyang was currently hiding within the military camp, his heart in turmoil. "Why isn't he dead? Damn it! Su Chen that useless fucker couldn't even complete something as simple as this!! He actually failed in killing that bastard Yue Zhong!!"

Right at this time, Su Dongming walked in with a steely expression.

"Dad, why have you come?" Su Tianyang immediately climbed off a serving girl's body, as he asked a little embarrassedly.

"Get out!" Su Dongming looked at the absurd scene in the room, and he coldly told the few serving girls.

They immediately grabbed their clothes and exited the room swiftly without turning their heads.

"Did you do it?" Su Dongming stared at Su Tianyang as he asked.

Su Tianyang hesitated a while before saying, "No!!"

"You still dare to deny it?" Su Dongming roared, thoroughly enraged. He then slapped Su Tianyang across the face harshly, causing his face to swell.

"Su Chen is dead! Liu Jun is dead! All Because of you, you little bastard! I lost 8 experts! 8! You still don't want to admit your mistake? Do you want to push me to the grave?"

While the number of experts in the military were numerous, to groom a high level Enhancer was not easy. Su Chen's assassin team was one of the 2 elite Enhancers team that Su Dongming controlled. Since this time he lost 8 experts, Su Dongming could be considered to have lost 25% of his experts.

Su Tianyang jumped up, as he hollered loudly at Su Dongming, "How was I in the wrong!? Didn't you also want to kill that asshole Yue Zhong? I merely set out to do what you didn't dare to! I am your son!!

You hit me because of some mere outsider? Are you still my dad? After Mum left, you want to start mistreating me right? Aren't you letting mum down?"

Su Dongming was absolutely fuming as he pointed at Su Tianyang: "Unfilial!! You're an unfilial son! How did I have someone like you!! This entire month, you're not allowed to leave the villa! You will stay here obediently!!"

After which, Su Dongming left the room in anger. He only had Su Tianyang and had always pampered and spoilt him, this led to Su Tianyang having a domineering character. Each time Su Tianyang had done something wrong, he would have it intercepted on his behalf.

Yue Zhong's assassination attempt shook the entire SY County. Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde met up to discuss, and ordered for the police to conduct an investigation throughout the county. It was just that those assassins had already hidden at Su Dongming's military camp. Regardless of how meticulous the police were, there were no results.

Yue Zhong was quietly recuperating in his villa with the effect of his Level 4 Skill: Regeneration. Within a day, his bones that had been shattered by the sniper bullets had finished mending. After just 2 days, the facial wounds from the fireball skill and countless shrapnel had closed up and recovered, to the point that one would not believe Yue Zhong had just suffered huge injuries 2 days ago.

"Is this intel for real?" Yue Hong looked at Liu Yujiao in front of him.

"Definitely!" Liu Yujiao replied confidently.

Chapter 0270 – Revenge!

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong gazed at Liu Yujiao and spoke, "Very good. If this intel turns out to be true, after the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you shabby!"

"Many thanks, Commander Yue!!" Liu Yujiao broke out in a grin.

The night was dark and the winds were strong, without even the barest sliver of moonlight. Everything was shrouded in darkness, and only a few areas were lit up in the entire SY County.

The 5 heads of the Military had conflicts of interest within one another, therefore there were 5 different residences set up within the military itself. Consequently the distance between each of them stretched for a few kilometres.

Under the cover of the pitch dark, Yue Zhong brought his Special Combat forces as they snuck towards Su Dongming's residence within the military camp.

Liu Yujiao's Vermillion Phoenix had plenty of women, some good-looking ones at that. These women prostituted themselves in the military camps, at the same time, obtaining valuable intel as well as protection for the Vermillion Phoenix Triad.

Part of the recent intel gained was that the experts who tried assassinating Yue Zhong had been seeking refuge within Su Dongming's military camp.

Yue Zhong carefully manoeuvred his way to the front of the camp and saw 2 soldiers standing on guard.

Yue Zhong gave Cheng Yu a hand signal, and Cheng Yu brought out a blowpipe, shooting a poison dart at one of the soldiers' neck.

Upon impact, the soldier immediately grabbed towards his neck and struggled to keep his eyes open, before fainting to the floor.

Yue Zhong instantly activated his Art of Fear skill on the other soldier and under the assault of the mind shattering fear, the other soldier died while foaming at the mouth. He even passed without a sound.

The Agility-based Evolver Yaoyao who had been standing by Yue Zhong's side activated her Shadow Steps, and her entire body flitted towards the camp like a dark leopard in the night, within just a few blinks, she was nowhere to be seen.

Yue Zhong had already activated his Encompassing Bone armor, and led the Special Combat forces inside the military camp, only to discover that along the road, there were many soldiers' corpses, each and everyone of them had their neck slashed.

Yaoyao was a naturally talented Agility-based Evolver, and under the constant forging through battle as well as the strict training of the elite soldiers, she had developed beyond even the strongest soldiers of the world prior to the apocalypse. The moment she was near, even Yue Zhong would feel a headache. Those normal soldiers never stood a chance against her.

While the soldiers were silenced one by one by Yaoyao, the rest of the Special Combat forces went to attach bombs on various armored tanks, and Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and even some helicopters as well.

Inside the camp, Yue Zhong came across 5 tanks, it was a pity that his storage ring could not accommodate these beasts, otherwise he would have already swiped them all.

Since he couldn't have it, no one else could have it as well, Yue Zhong decided to use his Devil Flame to open up holes inside those tanks and placed the time bombs inside.

Along the way, whenever the Special Combat forces came across soldiers doing their patrolling, they would swiftly kill them. These warriors were, after all, specially selected and trained by Yue Zhong. In all reality each and everyone of them became Enhancers above level 20. With their Combat tactics learned as well as having undergone all sorts of special forces training, they were nearly unstoppable.

Very soon, Yue Zhong and his team arrived at the residence which the assassins were taking refuge in. Yue Zhong did not barge in directly however. Instead, they surrounded the entire estate with timed detonation explosives.

After finishing, Yue Zhong waved his hands in a predetermined signal, and the Special Forces soldiers assembled into 4 teams. As they dispersed to the various parts of the camp, placing more timed explosives as well as killing the other soldiers who were not even prepared.

After approximately 15 minutes of slaughter, the Special Combat soldiers arrived back at Yue Zhong's side.

Yue Zhong waved his hands once more, and the Special Combat warriors all left, leaving Yue Zhong alone. This time, Yue Zhong's motive wasn't to annihilate Su Dongming's forces completely, but to cause a huge ruckus. If it came to a clash to the death between his warriors and Su Dongming's forces, both sides would face heavy losses. Yue Zhong wasn't willing to lose these experts that he had painstakingly trained up.

"Time's up." Yue Zhong looked at his watch, as he whispered silently to himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

In an instant, sounds of explosions resounded one by one within the military camp, and the various armored vehicles and military equipment exploded into pieces, becoming piles of useless metal. The military residence buildings also exploded in a huge ball of fire, instantly crushing and killing the soldiers inside.

Countless soldiers were plunged into utter chaos, as they ran amok, shouting at the top of their lungs. The entire camp was in a mess.

The residence of the assassins also collapsed under the explosive assault, as the ceiling debris fell and buried the assassins within.

Inside that particular building, were the experts that Su Dongming had gathered with his utmost efforts, if they were to face off in a battle, even Yue Zhong would be forced to retreat. However, with one fell swoop, Yue Zhong had killed over 90% of them.

With a 'hong', as some debris exploded outwards, a huge body rushed up towards the sky from the pile of rubble.

"Expert!" Yue Zhong raised his eyes, and discovered it was an Enhancer that had activated his Werewolf Transformation skill. This Enhancer had actually managed to escape from the destruction, he was obviously an expert.

In fact, Yue Zhong's guess wasn't off the mark. This Werewolf Transformation Enhancer was an Agility-based Evolver named Luo Bufan. It turned out that Su Dongming had spent an exorbitant amount on him, and was also the first expert that Su Dongming had nurtured!

As an Agility-based Evolver, when Luo Bufan activated his Werewolf Transformation, his speed had reached freakish levels, and there was nobody in the entire SY County that could face him. As well as the fact that he had enhanced his Werewolf Transformation three times, his other attributes gained tremendous boosts as well, to the point that even 12.7mm bullets could not penetrate his body, and 7.62m bullets could not penetrate his skin. It was truly fearsome.

"Let me send you to your death!" Yue Zhong eyed Luo Bufan who had lept out of the wreckage into mid-air, and he laughed coldly.Yue Zhong winked and hoisted a PF98 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher up. "Click. Click. Boom." mouthed Yue Zhong under his breath as he lined up the aim and shot at him!

"No!!!" Luo Bufan saw the anti-tank missile and his eyes flashed with wild desperation. His only thought as he shouted out loudly was to push his werewolf transformation to the maximum, as his muscles grew even larger and his fur coarser.

At the next instant, there was a flash and a moment of muteness as the rocket landed on Luo Bufan's chest. The result was the creation of a stunning roar of flame and shrapnel. Even though he tried to resist with his valiant body, it still ended up with him roaring in denial as his body swelled up on impact and exploded into just so many semi-charred, meaty pieces covered in sizzling hair.

Regardless of how fearsome the Werewolf Transformation is, he could not possibly withstand the might of a PF98 Anti-Tank missile. Even Yue Zhong was not impervious to the might of an anti-tank missile.

Enhancers might be strong, but they were not invincible! As long as the proper weapon was utilized, Enhancers could be taken down like anyone else. However, compared to most normal people, those Enhancers who were familiar with the modern weaponry were even more terrifying.

Yue Zhong had never forgone any chance to learn about modern weaponry. Facing different enemies required different tactics after all.

Yue Zhong proceeded to gather Luo Bufan's half scorched head and left the chaotic camp.

One by one, reinforcements poured out from different areas of the camp to help put out the fire and tend to the wounded. At the same time, the alarm was sounded and a search was conducted to capture any enemies. However, Yue Zhong had already long ago brought his men away, and the search turned up nothing.

Even though there were conflicts amongst themselves, the moment Su Dongming's camp came under attack, the rest of the 4 powers had dispatched a battalion of soldiers each to assist. In just a short span of time, the entire camp was surrounded tightly.

This was one of the reasons Yue Zhong had left the place swiftly, if he had delayed for just a while longer, he might have been trapped within.

"Damn Yue Zhong!! Damn it!! Damn you!!" Su Dongming looked at the scene of carnage, and his eyes flashed with a furious gaze. This time, his losses had caused him to almost spit out blood in anger.

His tanks, helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles and even Howitzers were all rendered to little more than really expensive scrap metal. His entire force of 2000 people had been reduced by 162 soldiers, and the experts he had gathered painstakingly were all decimated. This time, his power had dropped way below the rest of the 5 heads, which led him to hate Yue Zhong with a vengeance.

"The young sure are rash!" Peng Mingde took a look at the details concerning this case, and sighed. Although there was not a single shred of evidence that pointed to Yue Zhong, everyone knew in their hearts, it was definitely a retaliation from him. No one had expected Yue Zhong's revenge to be so swift and vicious.

In just one night, Su Dongming suffered unimaginable losses. Of his weaponry, he lost two-thirds of them, and lost nearly 200 men. The casualty rate was 10%.

This led all the top brass of SY County to open their eyes and witness for themselves how ruthless Yue Zhong could be when provoked.

In the meeting amongst the 5 military powers, Su Dongming submitted a proposal with an ashen face: "I reckon that we should gather the army, and eliminate the vermin Yue Zhong! He dares attack our military, his guts have really reached the heavens.

Today he dared launch an assault on me, who's to say who he will target tomorrow? We need to work together and take care of this problem before he escapes!"

Shen Hongyang frowned, as he gazed at Su Dongming and spoke softly, "Division Commander Su, do you have some proof that it was Yue Zhong? If not, how can we just take up arms?"

Qian Weimin looked to Su Dongming and lightly smiled: "Division Commander Su, I feel that it's better if we proceed with caution and conduct a thorough investigation. We cannot possibly let a criminal off, but likewise, we can't just blame a good person. Don't you agree?"

Su DongMing frowned as he looked towards his ally Luo Tianyi and asked, "Old Luo, what's your take?"

Luo Tianyi drew a long breath on his cigar, and spew out a smoke circle. Without looking at Su Dongming, he thought for a while.

"I think…. it's time for us to have a chat with Mister Yue Zhong!"

Chapter 0271 – Assault Helicopters Incoming!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The surprise attack by Yue Zhong was executed extremely beautifully, not a single loss was suffered on his side. Meanwhile, he had eliminated an entire company of soldiers as well as destroyed almost of Su Dongming's combat capabilities, displaying his keen sense for tactics and destruction.

If Yue Zhong had set his sights on SY County, then the 5 heads of the military would definitely come together to take Yue Zhong down. However, this was a personal grudge between Yue Zhong and Su Dongming, they were not willing to risk it all just for Su Dongming. Based on Yue Zhong's prowess, if they couldn't eliminate him thoroughly why try?

Like some kind of cockroach he would definitely come back but more overpowered than before. Undoubtedly he would make them pay many times over.

Su Dongming's expression grew steely as he asked Liu Huifeng, "What about you, Liu Huifeng!"

"I have no stance. Whatever everybody's decision is, I'll follow!" Liu Huifeng laughed lightly. He wasn't willing to entangle his forces with Yue Zhong either. There weren't many benefits to it to begin with.

This was a personal score between Su Dongming and Yue Zhong, and he couldn't bear to expend any of his precious subordinates as sacrificial pawns.

Su Dongming slammed the table and stood up, as he turned to leave: "Good! Good! GOOD! All of you may be scared of Yue Zhong, but I'm not! I'm going this instant to exterminate that bastard!"

"Division Commander Su, please wait!" Right at this time, Wen Baoguo pushed the door and came in, blocking Su Dongming.

Su Dongming shoved Wen Baoguo aside with a steely expression: "Mayor Wen! I am going to go destroy that Yue Zhong, whatever you have to say can wait until afterwards!"

Wen Baoguo once again blocked his path as he stared at him levelly and said in a clear voice: "Division Commander Su, do you have any evidence that it was Yue Zhong?"

Su Dongming instantly bellowed back. "What bullshit evidence do we still need?! It was obviously that motherfucking Yue Zhong's doing! Over a hundred of my soldiers have died at his hands, you want I, your father, to swallow my anger?"

Wen Baoguo maintained a serene expression and spoke quietly. "Yue Zhong also claimed that your son Su Tianyang had sent assassins after him.

I remember that when I sent people to question you, you halted the investigation process demanding conclusive evidence, before you would hand Su Tianyang over to be interrogated. Now without any evidence, you want to take up arms against Yue Zhong. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Wen Baoguo had previously sent people over to the military camp, wanting to subpoena Su Tianyang. However, Su Dongming had clamped down with his domineering attitude and did not even put the people Wen Baoguo sent in his eyes, as he directly refused Wen Baoguo's summons.

Su Dongming coldly glared at Wen Baoguo, before pushing him aside and strode out of the room his voice echoing behind him. "Wen Baoguo, you best clean up your government first. If you want to touch my son, you better execute Peng Mingde's son first!"

"Niu Jinbao! Take your men and immediately evacuate the area!" Wen Baoguo sighed, before he spoke into the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Niu Jinbao.

It seems like the clash between Su Dongming and Yue Zhong was hard to avoid.

"Withdraw!! Withdraw!! Withdraw quickly!!" Niu Jinbao hollered, and brought all his policemen who were currently on standby at Yue Zhong's turf and left the frontline. He wasn't willing to be embroiled in the imminent fight.

Su Dongming gave a slew of orders, as companies of his soldiers gathered, and quickly boarded various armored vehicles. Under the command of 3 Infantry Fighting vehicles, they made their way towards Xinglong Street.

Those powers in SY County with a strong intel outreach had gathered. At the same time, they sent people to report on the situation.

A number of powers were making their preparations because the moment Yue Zhong was beaten to the ground, they would immediately join in and spit on Yue Zhong to reap some rewards.

The long procession of armored vehicles and military weaponry arrived at a station near Phoenix Street.

"They're here!!"

The Special Combat soldiers who were lying in wait at Phoenix Street saw the huge fleet, and their eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Just as half the fleet entered Phoenix Street, Yue Zhong suddenly stuck his head out from inside a room and hoisted his PF98, firing an anti-tank rocket towards the Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

With a flash, followed by a huge sound of explosion, the Infantry Fighting Vehicle became a fiery ball of flame.

This explosion was like a signal, each Special Combat warrior lying in wait simultaneously rose from prone, and each of them were carrying a PF98 as they all fired at different armored vehicles.

Hong! Hong! The sounds of chain explosions rang out continuously. Under the sudden attack, many of the various infantry fighting vehicles and armored tanks exploded into balls of fire.

There were flying soldiers ejected from blast sites, pieces and whole. The remaining ones were crying out in anguish amidst the flame while struggling to escape the hellish engagement.

The sudden attack this time had destroyed over 23 armored vehicles, and the slightly more than 200 soldiers inside were instantly decimated.

2 companies of soldiers had died meaninglessly. Out of those 200 soldiers, there were 60 or more soldiers who formed the core of the experienced soldiers. With the deaths of these soldiers, the overall combat ability of Su Dongming's forces had diminished yet again.

After firing those rockets, the Special Forces soldiers started to make use of their guns to pick off the other mostly scrambling warriors of Su Dongming. Within a short span of time, another 20 over soldiers had been killed.

Under such a sudden and relentless attack, many of the new soldiers lost their will to fight and started to throw their weapons down and desert.

The Battalion Commander Zhou Wei, that Su Dongming had trained up, executed a few of the deserters, before he called out with an utterly savage face, "No one is to desert!! Whoever retreats will be executed!!"

Vvvppt!! Zhou Wei's brain matter had exploded like tofu, red and white head chunks arcing in the sky. Very quickly, the flying pieces splattered on the ground moistly. Thpapapap!

On the rooftop of a building about 2km away, Bai He shifted his gaze coldly, looking for the next target. He had the Sniper Specialization Skill, plus he had enhanced it twice, causing his sniping to reach a perverse level.

Even from a distance of over 2km, he could do what a normal sniper might find hard to accomplish within a distance of 1km. With the existence of such a overpowered sniper, he could easily control a part of the battlefield by his own efforts.

"Sniper! There's a sniper!! Everyone take care!!" One of the seasoned soldiers hollered.

However, in the next instant that seasoned soldier had his brains bored through by a bullet as well, Bai He had skillfully silenced him with one well placed shot.

Ulamog:Killtacular!

Under the threat of death, those soldiers who had come here with the intent to fight started to waver. A number of the new soldiers had started to look for cover, not daring to risk their necks.

Yue Zhong's sudden preemptive attack had caused a devastating blow to the soldiers of Su Dongming's First Battalion.

However, this battalion was the one which contained a lot of seasoned soldiers and after a number of their soldiers had met with mishap, the expert soldiers banded together and started to engage in an intense fire-fight with Yue Zhong's Special Combat warriors.

Amongst Yue Zhong's Special Combat Force, there were 6 extremely well-versed snipers. While the other 5 could not match up to Bai He, they were still extremely efficient snipers, and had hidden themselves at various elevated places.

Their shots were continually picking off Su Dongming's soldiers, as their comrades around them watched them each die helplessly.

The forces of Su Dongming were strong, and soon the unharmed soldiers of the Second Battalion joined in the fray. However, without the support of experts and under the control of the 6 elite snipers, the soldiers of the Second Battalion found it hard to advance. Instead, they watched their own comrades getting killed off as well.

The experts gathered by Su Dongming had been ambushed and killed by Yue Zhong. Thinly, whenever the snipers of the military had just stuck their heads out to line up a bead, they would be killed instantly by the 6 snipers on the rooftops. They served to restrict any form of personel reinforcement.

Right at this time, 2 assault helicopters appeared in the skies.

Seeing the arrival of the 2 attack helicopters, the soldiers of the Second Battalion who had lost their morale, started to feel more bolstered.

These assault helicopters were beasts of the air, and were the perfect counter to tanks. Without any anti-air weapons, these helicopters were basically invincible.

Yue Zhong's Special Combat Force saw the 2 assault helicopters, and their eyes could not help but narrow in trepidation.

The 2 assault helicopters swiftly arrived over the battlefield. With a flash, 2 rockets were fired and shot at one of the buildings. The flames engulfed it in a serious explosion, which instantly pulverised one of the Special Combat soldiers inside.

After killing that soldier, the 2 assault helicopters began to fire continuously at the other buildings, destroying them and killing some of the survivors and Special Combat soldiers hiding inside.

In just a few moments, 4 Special Combat soldiers had died under the ruthless slaughter of the 2 assault helicopters. This was the first time that they had suffered such losses on the battlefield.

Every single one of the soldiers were decked in the Black-scaled Boar hide as armor, and their heads protected by helmets made in Big Stone Village. These helmets were further covered with a layer of the Black-Scaled Boar hide.

They basically revealed very little of their bodies. Unless they were shot in a location where there was no protection from the hide, it was hard for normal bullets to kill off any soldiers of the Special Combat Force.

It was precisely due to their ample equipment that the casualty rate of the Special Combat forces were shockingly low. Of course, they had fighting capabilities that were above most soldiers as well.

Just as the assault helicopters were about to give them too much pressure and reduce morale, Yue Zhong had already jumped onto the roof of a tall building and lifter his trusty PF98. He aimed quickly and fired a missile at one of the helicopters.

With a heaven rending flash, the rocket near instantly impacted on the helicopter's frame, and the explosion caused the helicopter to blaze valiantly before falling to the ground in a ball of smoking shrapnel and fire.

The other helicopter immediately turned and tried to leave.

Yue Zhong however, had already activated his Art of Fear skill. When he did he directed it towards the pilot of the assault helicopter, bypassing the metal shell and shocking him with it.

The pilot's face twisted, as he threw up crimson foam and slumped on to the controls.

The assault helicopter wobbled and accelerated before crashing into another bungalow, and exploded with a huge 'BahToooom!' The entire bungalow was correspondingly reduced to rubble by the explosion.

"How is this possible? He actually destroyed 2 assault helicopters!!"

"It's too scary! Is he still human??"

The soldiers under Su Dongming watched the scene from afar, and their eyes all flashed with fear and shock. Their morale instantly dipped lower than before. The assault helicopters were their strongest killing machines and trump card. Regardless whether fighting against zombies or these small factions, they were extremely efficient.

Wiping out a small power faction only needed the appearance of the assault helicopter and it could thoroughly rout them. Su Dongming had been at the forefront of the 5 heads because of his possession of these assault helicopters. However, last night, Yue Zhong had decimated a huge part of his force, and hence he had no choice but to bring these 2 monsters to bear.

Seeing the 2 assault helicopters destroyed by Yue Zhong, the morale of the Special Forces soldiers soared. In the remainder of the firefight, they completely suppressed the soldiers of Su Dongming's Second Battalion.

Especially the snipers on the rooftops led by Bai He, they were consistently picking off the commanders and seasoned soldiers. For them, suppressing the soldiers and preventing them from even regrouping to fight as a force was the only goal.

After destroying those 2 assault helicopters, Yue Zhong swiftly made his way towards Su Dongming's direction.

After having lost their experts, the soldiers of the Second Battalion found it hard to retaliate against the suppression from the 6 snipers. However, the military still had a weapon that could deal with Yue Zhong's forces, and it was the heavy artillery!!

As long as the military did not care for the cost of the usage, which was the survivors in the Phoenix Street, as long as they fired a shot and flattened the entire street? Other than those snipers who were hidden further away, all of the Special Combat forces would instantly become ash.

Su Dongming's Second Battalion was weaker than the First Battalion, however, the moment they saw Yue Zhong passing by, they immediately fired a hail of rounds at him.

Yue Zhong's body constantly flitted to and fro, evading the rain of bullets every way he could. At the same time, he constantly threw a few grenades in the midst of the soldiers wherever he went. This obviously caused two things: Them to be blasted to their deaths, and alot of crimson blood splattered everywhere!

The commander of the Second Battalion Wu Minghe stood at the frontlines and observed it all, before giving an order through the microphone: "The 2nd Company move to the right!! 3rd Company switch to the rockets!! Use the rockets to blast him!!"

'Peng!' The sound of a lone gunshot rang out!

Wu Minghe's brain exploded, the now familiar, chunky brain matter splattering on the ground.

"Commander!! Commander!!"

The soldiers near Wu Minghe instantly cried out in despair.

After losing the command of Wu Minghe, the pressure on Yue Zhong decreased a lot. The soldiers saw that the light weaponry had no effect on Yue Zhong, and decided to switch to using the mortars.

Surely with these, the grenade launchers and hand grenades they possessed they could fill the land with a purgatory of flame and finally kill him. The soldier's all rapidly took aim, the clink of falling grenade pins and safeties being removed heralded Hell as they fired them all simultaneously at Yue Zhong.

Chapter 0272 – Devil Flame Destruction

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong had activated his Shadow Steps Skill at the first moment, and his speed instantly exploded out. He ran, charging straight through the soldiers of the Second Battalion like a gust of wind. The large scale heavy ammunitions could only hit his shadow.

At the same time, Yue Zhong's Danger Perception was utilized efficiently in the hail of bullets. Amongst the dense barrage, even Yue Zhong would find it hard to completely evade every single bullet. He chose to dodge the ones that posed the most threat, while allowing the weaker rifle bullets to hit his body and bounce away.

As the commander of the Second Battalion had his head blasted, Su Dongming's Second Battalion was thrown into chaos. Those heavy weapons that posed the most danger to Yue Zhong were not utilized properly. This allowed Yue Zhong to directly pass through the defence of the Second Battalion.

After breaking past their defences, Yue Zhong discovered the Third Battalion currently flanking Phoenix Street from the right. The Fourth Battalion was kept by Su Dongming as backup.

Although Su Dongming held the position of Division Commander, he only held 4 battalions worth of power, consisting of almost 2000 people. This time, in order to completely wipe out Yue Zhong, Su Dongming had brought everything, not intending to hold back.

Yue Zhong had just broken past the defences of the Second Battalion, when Su Dongming finished assigning 2 squads to start firing wildly at Yue Zhong with their rockets and grenades.

Hong! Hong!

The sounds of explosions rang out continuously, as round after round of rockets chased Yue Zhong closely as he dodged, causing destruction everywhere.

Although Yue Zhong's speed could not compare to the rate of firing of the rockets, it was enough for him to accelerate to dodge the trajectory. Each time the rockets locked on to him, he would respond at the very last critical moment and evade it.

If he didn't have the Danger Perception skill, just based on his current enhancement, Yue Zhong would definitely not dare to weave in and out of the enemies' constant firing.

"He's really hard to deal with!!" Su Dongming was currently holed up in the operations centre. He was using unmanned reconnaissance drones to observe the fighting and he stared fixedly at Yue Zhong while gritting his teeth. Just one Yue Zhong alone, had caused such mayhem amongst a huge part of his army. Without Yue Zhong, he would have already conquered Phoenix Street a long time ago.

As Yue Zhong was dodging, he constantly threw out hand grenades, and these grenades landed on those soldiers attacking him. The constant explosions ensured that a number of soldiers would also be taken out.

The First and Fourth Battalion were Su Dongming's elite forces, as well as the battalions with the most number of seasoned veterans. They were extremely tough and resilient, and were keeping Yue Zhong at bay, preventing him from coming too close.

Soon, there appeared in the distance two mobile platform howitzers.

"Damn it!! Damn it!! What do I do?" Yue Zhong was starting to become frantic, as he ran to different cover to adjust his firing angles. Pretty soon, they would begin shooting. Their effective range was over a thousand metres, and this distance was beyond what he could do with his PF98.

Resolving the issue with the 2 companies of soldiers in front of Yue Zhong still required more time. If this dragged on, those 2 Howitzers would definitely pose a problem to his Special Combat forces.

"Let's go all out!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with chilliness, and he activated his Devil Flame. Upon activation he expended 30 Spirit and 10 Stamina to condense it into 2 huge spears.

Yue Zhong threw the Devil Flame Spears at the 2 Howitzers with all his might, and they shot towards the Howitzers like arrows.

As the Devil Flame Spears were a product of Yue Zhong's ability, their effective range was as far as Yue Zhong's vision. (TN: OVERPOWERED) However far Yue Zhong could see, the Devil Flame Spears could be thrown that far. Additionally, with Yue Zhong's robust Spirit power, its hit rate was 100%.

Under the guiding of Yue Zhong's sight, the 2 Devil Flame Spears penetrated the armor of those Howitzers, before the fiery hot flames engulfed the 2 Howitzers turning them into balls of fire.

With the sounds of explosions, the 2 Howitzers combusted, destroying them and blasting into flaming pieces. While his Devil Flame's defence capability could not compare to that of ice, its destruction capabilities vastly outstripped it. It was due to its fiery destructive nature that it could totally annihilate the Howitzers at a distance of 1km.

At the same time, the remaining Howitzer fired its shot as well!

Following the sound of explosion, a building on Phoenix Street was directly blasted apart by the artillery shell. Hot flames enveloped the building, directly burning the occupants and one Special Combat Force soldiers inside.

The heavy ammunition from the Howitzer was one of the most fearsome weapons in warfare.

Just a single shell could decimate an entire building, even someone hiding in any part of the building would be unable to escape from the destruction.

"What a fearsome guy!!" Inside the operations command centre, Su Dongming saw the 2 Howitzers destroyed from a distance of over 1km by Yue Zhong, and his eyes flashed with shock.

After destroying the 2 Howitzers, Yue Zhong felt exhausted. He glanced at the 2 companies of soldiers in front of him, before making his way towards the Third Battalion without looking back.

He had already tested and found the First and Fourth Battalions to be the toughest to deal with, hence the Second and Third Battalions should be full of new and inexperienced soldiers.

These inexperienced soldiers had the weakest fighting morale and will. As long as one shakes them up enough, they would become desperate.

Those 2 companies that were in charge of hunting Yue Zhong saw that he was retreating and one of the companies rushed out to give chase. However Yue Zhong immediately fired wildly, killing 6 of the soldiers, before the rest hastily retreated behind cover.

Yue Zhong quickly caught up with Su Dongming's Third Battalion, they were currently engaged in an intense firefight with the survivors that Yue Zhong gathered in SY County led by Chen Shitou.

The majority of the soldiers in the Third Battalion of Su Dongming were new soldiers. Only a few seasoned veterans were among the ranks, so their fighting capability was low.

Yue Zhong on the other hand, had gathered a battalion's worth of new soldiers, and similarly had a few season warriors leading them. However, the party on defence usually had a slight advantage.

Su Dongming's Third Battalion had been trying relentlessly to break past Chen Shitou's point, but was always pushed back. In fact they left behind many corpses and soon it was turning into a firefight with no results.

The 2 sides were constantly firing from behind cover, ammunition was expended like crazy, and yet both sides' losses did not amount to much.

Right at this time, Yue Zhong had directly charged into the command post of the Third Battalion and fired wildly for a while. This led to the deaths of all the commanders within the Third Battalion.

With a 'hong', Su Dongming's Third Battalion command post was directly destroyed by the grenade Yue Zhong threw.

"We've lost!! We've lost!! Our commanders have all perished!! Everyone let's escape!! If we still stay on, we're going to get trapped here!!"

Yue Zhong had blown apart the command post of the Third Battalion. Afterwards he used his .05 submachine gun to fire continuously and killed people, as he hollered at the top of his voice.

When the soldiers saw their own commanders blasted to smithereens, they were all shaken. Some even threw their weapons down and began fleeing wildly, while some others continued to put up a resistance.

The entire Third Battalion was thrown into chaos, with sounds of crying, shouting and calling out ringing out everywhere.

Chen Shitou took advantage of this time, and selected a company worth of soldiers to rush in. The attackers swiftly killed those soldiers who were devastated. The soldiers of Chen Shitou were also new soldiers and weren't up to standard in terms of warfare. If the enemy decided to counter and if they were successful, he would have lost control of this battalion. Therefore, he only dared to send in a company's worth of soldiers to complement Yue Zhong's assault.

Under the two-pronged attack, the soldiers of Su Dongming's Third Battalion lost all bearings and started escaping in all directions. Yue Zhong focused on picking off those who were staunchly standing their ground, adding further to the devastation. The company that Chen Shitou ordered to attack also managed to capture over a hundred prisoners-of-war.

However, Su Dongming's reaction was fast as well, he swiftly gave the command to route 2 of the elite companies within the Fourth Battalion to assist the remnants of the Third Battalion.

After Chen Shitou sent out a company to attack, he saw the 2 companies of Su Dongming approaching from afar and immediately retreated. Without enough cover, the soldiers under him would not dare fight against the elite soldiers of Su Dongming head on.

Yue Zhong was still weaving in and out, firing his .05 submachine gun, using grenades and rockets to entangle with the 2 companies of soldiers.

Although these soldiers were the elite under Su Dongming, Yue Zhong's ease of dealing with them showed just how terrifying his abilities were. One by one, the seasoned veterans fell under Yue Zhong's hands, causing the morale to break down amongst the 2 companies, and it was only a matter of time before they were totally annihilated.

Shen Hongyang walked to Su Dongming and spoke deeply: "Cease the fighting!! Su Dongming, if this continues on, you will just squander the soldiers' lives meaninglessly!"

Su Dongming had gone beyond reason by this time, and had the look of a lost gambler as he looked towards Shen Hongyang and asked loudly: "Shen Hongyang!! Lend me 2 battalions of soldiers! As long as we work together, we can definitely bury Yue Zhong here!!"

Shen Hongyang immediately refuted: "Then what? He only had a new battalion here, even if you decimate this motley crew, it wouldn't be a huge loss to him.

He still has 7 battalions back at Ning Guang County, he could just easily activate them and send them to attack us. I can't think of a valid reason to waste my precious soldiers' lives just because of your personal feud with him! Su Dongming, cease this pointless fighting! There's still time to do so!"

If the 4 army heads really joined Su Dongming and attacked Yue Zhong now, Yue Zhong would definitely suffer a huge defeat. However, all he was utilizing now was a bunch of newly trained soldiers. The moment he deployed the elite soldiers of his, even if the rest died, it wouldn't be a huge loss to him.

Chapter 0273 – Master of Negotiations!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition,TheNo1Fan

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

After witnessing the terrifying strength of Yue Zhong and his Special Combat forces, the other 4 heads of the military were not willing to clash against him and risking their all. The only exception was if it was a case where Yue Zhong crossed their thresholds.

Su Dongming looked towards the other 4 heads. All of them did not say anything, instead just silently looking at him. They would definitely not send their troops out.

"Everyone retreat!!" Su Dongming looked towards the screen again, just in time to witness another 2 soldiers being blasted to death by Yue Zhong's grenade. He grimaced as he gritted his teeth and issued the humiliating order.

After the command had been given, all his subordinates retreated orderly. Yue Zhong stood alone and continued harassing them with shots from the sides, continually causing more deaths.

After Su Dongming's forces had gathered, Yue Zhong still didn't relent, and swiped his ring to take out a sniper rifle. Aiming the weapon skillfully he continued to snipe another 13 soldiers and by that time, Su Dongming's forces had left the area.

Yue Zhong saw Su Dongming's forces really retreating from the area, and he heaved a huge sigh of relief. This time, fortunately, the other 4 heads had stood aside and did not participate. If there was any additional major power joining in, Yue Zhong could only retreat and bring his Special Combat forces with him.

While Su Dongming's forces had retreated, Yue Zhong's own forces had no energy to give chase as well. Although the Special Forces were strong, if they left their cover and chased the enemy in the wild? It would be a disaster.

Wen Baoguo found Yue Zhong and directly said, "Yue Zhong, this matter should end here, I hope you pull your forces back and leave from here. The remaining matters we have, I hope we can come together and discuss about this. If you continue to wreak havoc, the government will not stand idly by."

Yue Zhong's expression turned frosty as he spoke softly, "Mayor Wen! This time Su Dongming that bastard had actually moved against me. I had lost a few of my brothers, if he doesn't give me an explanation, I will not let this go."

The war this time, had cost Yue Zhong a number of people. The list included 5 of his Special Combat forces, and over 30 of the soldiers from the newly recruited survivors.

Wen Baoguo frowned lightly as he replied back. "You have lost only tens of people, Su Dongming has lost over 400 people and 100 missing people to you guys. You have already taken the advantage. Yue Zhong, please don't go overboard. Our patience has its limits."

This time, Yue Zhong had thoroughly crippled Su Dongming's force. A large number of his weapons had been destroyed by Yue Zhong as well, even the elite First Battalion was wiped out by Yue Zhong. The Third Battalion was thoroughly defeated, while over 40 veterans of the Fourth Battalion also lost their lives. The Second Battalion had suffered greatly while fighting against Yue Zhong's Special Combat forces. Su Dongming had become the weakest link amongst the 5 major heads.

Wen Peishan could not bear it and pleaded with Yue Zhong. "Yue Zhong, just fall back for now! If you continue, many more will die!"

"Fine! I will give Peishan face. I will temporarily withdraw my troops. You would do well to heed my words Mayor Wen. Su Dongming that bastard came and attacked me with no rhyme nor reason and he has to give me a suitable explanation." Yue Zhong decided to back off, not before he warned Wen Baoguo.

After all that fighting, Yue Zhong also did not wish for it to continue. If he insisted on it, the other 4 heads of the military would definitely not sit idly. By then Yue Zhong would have made an enemy out of the entire SY County, with neither side backing down.

"Thank you!!" Wen Peishan gave a sweet smile to Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong had agreed to withdraw his troops on her behalf, and it made her extremely happy

She honestly felt that her position in Yue Zhong's heart must have risen by a number of points.

Yue Zhong brought his troops away from Phoenix Street as promised, and retreated back to Xinglong Street.

The battle between Yue Zhong and Su Dongming had shaken the entire SY County, everyone was quietly awed by Yue Zhong's strength. Even those who had wanted to take the opportunity to join in on the Yue Zhong-bashing party were sorely disappointed and slinked away.

The 2 gangs that came to be under Yue Zhong, Black Tiger Gang and the Vermillion Phoenix Triad, rose in status amongst the people in SY County, the rest of the factions all lowered their heads to curry favour with the 2 gangs, no one dared offend them anymore, adding on to their imposing manner.

Two days later, in the government's council meeting room where the 5 military heads, the 2 government heads and Yue Zhong have all gathered for negotiations.

Su Dongming looked at Yue Zhong, his expression frosty as he spat out his words. "Yue Zhong, you brought your men to conduct a sneak attack on my military camp! Your attack ended up killing 162 of my soldiers, as well as destroying my equipment. I can let that go, but what guts you have, to dare ambush my army. Do you not put the people of SY County in your eyes?"

Yue Zhong cocked his brow in challenge, and likewise, pointedly asked back, "Su Dongming! You say I attacked your camp, do you have the proof? If not, don't malign me! As for ambushing your army!! What a joke, you had sent them to attack me, I was merely protecting my own interest and retaliated! Don't tell me it's fine for you to attack me and I'm not supposed to fight back, where's the logic in that? But, coming back to that, why did you send people to assassinate me?

Fortunately, my years are not up, otherwise I would have died at your hands. You think I'm easy to bully? If you provoke me, even if it means fighting to the death with you, I will activate all 7 of my battalions! I will call out all my 4000 good brothers to exterminate you, you piece of reeking green dog shit!"

In this type of negotiation, no one was willing to appear weaker than the others. The moment weakness was shown, the opposing faction would jump on the chance to apply pressure. Of course Yue Zhong did not plan to fight to the death with the military nor SY County, but he would never show it.

Su Dongming's expression went cold, as he spat out icily, "You say I sent men to assassinate you, do you have the proof? Without proof, don't go around smearing my name!!"

"Evidence! Of course I have! Men, bring him over!" Yue Zhong glanced at Su Dongming, laughing coldly.

In a matter of seconds, Cheng Yu brought an emaciated youth in.

"I'm guessing that you know this guy right! Su Dongming!" Yue Zhong eyed Su Dongming as he voiced out sarcastically.

Su Dongming took a look at the person, and his face turned pale because he naturally knew the person. He had personally conveyed the position of the Third Battalion Second Company's Officer to this person, Xu Guang!

"Let me introduce this person to you, this person is a commanding officer personally granted by Su Dongming." Yue Zhong laughed lightly and pulled out a bunch of photos before he gave them to Wen Baoguo.

"Mayor Wen, these are the photos of the assassins' corpses, am I right?"

"That's right!" Wen Baoguo eyed those photos, and confirmed the authenticity of the photos.

"Xu Guang. Who is this person?" Yue Zhong pointed at the photo of an Agility-type assassin and asked Xu Guang.

Without hesitating, Xu Guang directly said: "This person's name is Wen Yu. He is a veteran who entered the army in the same year as I did, later joining Su Dongming's special forces."

"What about this person?" Yue Zhong replaced the photo of Wen Yu with another one, depicting an Enhancer who possessed the Firearms Control Skill, as he asked Xu Guang once again.

Xu Guang said: "This person is called Guo Ming! He is proficient at using all sorts of guns and is also very accurate at shooting. He also eventually became a member of the special forces established by Commander Su."

"Enough! This is all your side of the story, you forced him to say all of it!! You are framing me!" Su Dongming let out a loud shout, interrupting Xu Guang's narration as he stared at Yue Zhong and fiercely roared.

Yue Zhong glanced indifferently at Su Dongming and continued to speak lightly.

"Mayor Wen, Secretary Peng and all Commanders, I have already provided enough evidence to prove that this Su Dongming was the one who prompted people to try to assassinate me. Please, uphold justice for me. Otherwise, I will take matters into my own hands."

Hearing Yue Zhong's words, the four heads of the military and the government's two magnates all furrowed their eyebrows. Yue Zhong's meaning was clear, if they couldn't provide a satisfactory answer to Yue Zhong? Then Yue Zhong would take the initiative to kill Su Dongming by himself.

Currently, Su Dongming still had around 1500 soldiers under his control. This ment that if his soldiers fought against Yue Zhong, there would also be a huge loss to SY City. This was not to SY City's interests.

Su Dongming glanced at Yue Zhong before coldly saying: "If you want my life, come take it by yourself if you have the skill!"

Su Dongming had correctly anticipated that the the other big bosses of the military and the government's two magnates would not remain indifferent to him.

An ominous glint flashed past both of Yue Zhong's eyes and an oppressive killing intent surged out: "You think I don't dare?"

Su Dongmind's bottom lip quivered, yet he did not have any comeback to Yue Zhong's threat. It seemed he could only stare fixedly at Yue Zhong.

The tension in the meeting room became palpable, everyone felt tense.

The experts behind the military heads all kept their eyes on Yue Zhong, preparing to move in case Yue Zhong suddenly attacked.

Wen Baoguo looked at Yue Zhong and asked indifferently, "State your terms! Yue Zhong, what do you want?"

Wen Baoguo could see that Yue Zhong didn't want to be at loggerheads with the entire SY County, he was only throwing his weight around to prove that he could not be pushed.

Yue Zhong did not skip a beat as he replied: "Execute Su Tianyang! Then I will let this matter rest. I will return the 100 captives to you guys!"

Su Dongming's expression turned steely as he refused flatly: "That's impossible! As long as there's me, Su Dongming, no one can dream of touching even a single hair on my son!"

Su Dongming only had Su Tianyang his only son, if Su Tianyang was executed, his Su line would cease to have descendants.

"2 Assault Helicopters and supporting pilots!"

The incomparable attack prowess of the assault helicopters had enticed Yue Zhong, he had discovered a few attack helicopters within the Mechanized Infantry Brigade camp, he just lacked the people with expertise to operate it.

Su Dongming seemed to spit fire from his eyes as he said, "My assault helicopters and pilots have been destroyed by you!"

Yue Zhong then went on to state a few more terms with regards to the military compensation, and they were all rejected by Su Dongming, the rest of the 6 heads also silently backed Su Dongming up, they weren't willing to see Yue Zhong obtaining even more firepower and strength.

Yue Zhong pulled out Da Gouzi beside him and said: "Since it's like this, I will allow my subordinate Da Gouzi to negotiate on my behalf."

Da Gouzi was extremely gifted at negotiating, and could be relentless, his bargaining skills were even more superb.

After Da Gouzi was pushed out by Yue Zhong, he grinned and immediately opened with his sky staggeringly high price. "We want 3000 pretty virgins. Then this matter will be considered over!"

His intention of course was less the women, but to use his superb verbal skills to put the opposition on the defensive right from the start. Then wouldn't everything they owned be available for the taking?

Ulamog: this guy reminds me of Weed. My wallet hurts just thinking about what's going to happen to these guys xD

Chapter 0274 – Transaction

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Hearing Da Gouzi's words, all the people were momentarily stunned. The entire SY County would not be able to deliver such a sum of 3,000 virgin beauties

In the post-apocalyptic world, most of the women with a little more beauty would have already been taken by people of power. If they were asked to give a few pretty ladies to Yue Zhong, it wouldn't be an issue, but 3,000 beauties, it was too hard to find.

At that moment, the 5 heads of the military, plus Peng Mingde and Wen Baoguo all looked towards Yue Zhong with a strange gaze.

Yue Zhong's face had turned dark after hearing Da Gouzi's words. He didn't expect that Da Gouzi would call for such absurd terms. However, he did nothing to stop Da Gouzi, instead, sitting there silently.

Su Dongming directly rejected: "No way!!"

Da Gouzi then proceeded to call out: "Then give us 6,000 pretty women. Yes, we want 6,000 women. Those older ones, kids younger than 16 and males? We don't want them, ugly women we also don't want!"

Yue Zhong's side was sorely lacking in manpower. So if they had called out for strong males, SY County would definitely not agree. It was because after a little training, those able-bodied males could become soldiers and workers, thus forming a stable power. Therefore Da Gouzi just tried his luck to ask for women.

Su Dongming icily replied, "6,000 women! How are we going to pull that number out for you? Since you like beauties so much, I will give you 30 beauties! But each beauty has to be exchanged with 1 tonne of rations!"

Da Gouzi looked at him strangely, before responding in a crude manner: "1 ton of rations? Why don't you just go rob me!!

The women outside are at most prostituting themselves at 1 bun for a night. Even a beauty would not cost more than 1 jin of rice for a day. 10 jin rice could easily buy a woman. You want 1 tonne for each woman, are your beauties made of gold?"

The female survivors in SY County sold themselves cheaply, as long as there was enough food for them, most female survivors were willing to sell themselves.

However, Yue Zhong could only accept a small number. If he engaged in a large-scale purchase and brought these female survivors over into his own camp without a viable excuse, SY County's top brass would definitely be suspicious.

Da Gouzi's face hardened as he threatened coarsely: "Su Dongming, you sent people to assassinate our Commander Yue, and you are trying to shirk compensation now? You must be seeking death, no? Our 4000 brothers are just waiting for Commander Yue's orders, to fight it out with SY County! We will come and kill, and destroy you and burn your entire family to the ground!"

Su Dongming stared coldly at Da Gouzi as he replied indifferently: "Fine! Let us fight then! Let's see who's afraid of who!"

Yue Zhong stood up in a jiffy, and gave Su Dongming an icy look filled with killing intent: "Su Dongming, you're taking things too far. I'm going to go activate my troops right now! Everyone, you've heard him! It's Su Dongming who wants to fight it out! I hope that when we clash, you can maintain your neutrality."

"This is a personal grudge between us. I have no ill intentions towards anyone else here. Whatever happens in the future, it is all on Su Dongming."

Shen Hongyang frowned as he opened his mouth: "Yue Zhong, don't be so agitated. We can understand your feelings. However, everything can be talked through, don't just go to war each time. Warfare costs lives! Sit down, let's talk things out!"

Wen Baoguo spoke out softly: "Let's do it this way! A trade of 100 beauties, 900 young ladies, 3,500 children, and 500 males. Our SY County will give you 5,000 people, you will give us 1,000 tonnes of rations. Then we'll let the matter rest!"

A child could only use up resource and not contribute to it, Wen Baoguo had been mulling over the problem of the number of children in SY County. This time he could use this as an excuse to hand over 3,500 of them. As compensation, he would give Yue Zhong 500 men.

Yue Zhong sat down, and continued to be silent, looking at Da Gouzi.

Da Gouzi continued his haggling: "There are too many kids!! They can only eat, and can't help to fight the zombies. Not to mention they can't work, so we're at a disadvantage here.

Why not do it like this: we still keep those 3,500 kids, but on top of those 100 beauties, there must be 30 additional virgins.

Furthermore, we will use 10 rounds of ammunition to buy a male, 5 rounds of ammunition to buy a female, to trade for 1,000 males and 1,000 females."

Peng Mingde's eyes flashed, before he lightly smiled: "Good! I promise you!"

Seeing Peng Mingde accepting Yue Zhong's request just like that, Wen Baoguo, who had wanted to say something, decided to stay silent.

The rest of the 5 heads of the military accepted the request as well. Although Yue Zhong gained 7,000 people, most of them were weak women and children. The number of males numbered only 1,500. Also Yue Zhong had to pay 1,000 tonnes of rations as well as 15,000 rounds of ammunition, both parties actually benefited.

After the negotiations between both parties ended, Wen Baoguo quickly notified the government, and they swiftly selected 7,000 to throw to Yue Zhong.

The sudden inclusion of 7,000 people gave Yue Zhong quite a bit of pressure. Amongst the 7,000 people, other than the 100 beauties, the rest had an emaciated look. Their meals and accommodation was going to be a problem.

Wen Baoguo had thrown 7,000 people to Yue Zhong, because they harbored ill intentions and wanted to see how he made a fool out of himself. It must be clear that 7,000 people was not a small number, handling them would be a tough job. Other than that, these people required a few tonnes of rations everyday, without ample support, one would not be able to maintain such a number.

Such a huge number of survivors had suddenly been thrown into Yue Zhong's territory, it really was a headache. Especially the 1,500 males; they were all weak, and emaciated to the point that they could die any moment. Even prior to the apocalypse, such physiques would require nourishment for over one or 2 months before they could be considered healthy. As for the women and the children, everyone of them were skinny to the point they could be blown away with a low gust of a wind.

Amongst the 7,000 people, there were some who were rotten characters. On the first day after being handed over to Yue Zhong, there were 30 men who indulged and raped a few women. These men were afraid to fight the zombies and look for treasure drops, yet used force to bully those weaker than themselves.

Those men were quickly apprehended by Yue Zhong's subordinates, then swiftly executed in front of everybody; a cold reminder of the consequences of acting out of line.

Da Gouzi was in charge of affairs when he was at Stone Village, as well as Qing Yuan County, and he quickly settled everybody down and arranged for their accommodations and duties.

Yue Zhong had also reassigned some of the soldiers who had performed well during the clash with Su Dongming, giving them the responsibilities of managing these new survivors.

As for the issue about rations, Yue Zhong had already stolen 3,000 tonnes of rations from Su Dongming, so for the time being, there were no issues concerning food.

"It's time to start preparations!!"

After the situation was somewhat stabilized, Yue Zhong assigned Da Gouzi to buy steel in bulk, at the same time, he commenced the operations of digging trenches around the riverbank!

Regardless of gender or age, even members of the Vermillion Phoenix and Black Tiger gang were routed over, and they all started digging.

Under the combined efforts of over 8,000 people, huge trenches with depths of about a few metres were dug out, and inside those trenches, there were sharp steel beams hammered in.

The Mutant Beast meat that had been manufactured into cans were also delivered over from Ning Guang County, and those weak survivors who had gone so long without having decent meals and nutritions got to enjoy the Mutant Beasts meat, and started to recover quickly.

Whenever it was meal time, there would be massive woks [TN: Huge pans that chinese use for cooking] that were filled with piping hot rice, wild vegetables as well as plates and plates of meat from Mutant Beasts, everyone got a share, and they all wore expressions of satisfaction and delight.

Cheng Peipei was passing by, and saw the survivors working and eating heartily by the riverbank, and her eyes flashed with shock: "They actually get to eat meat? This Yue Zhong is also too formidable, no? Where did he get this much meat?"

Beside Cheng Peipei was her close friend Tai Yiyan, after the matter of the Dark Crows, their relationship got a lot closer. Both were stuck together, going everywhere together, and had specially gone to find Yue Zhong this time.

Both Cheng Peipei and Tai Yiyan had decent backgrounds, hence they could move about freely in SY County. Because of that, they could walk around and had the free time to find Yue Zhong to entertain themselves.

However, even though Cheng Peipei had a decent family background, even her household could not get to eat meat everyday. Seeing the normal survivors eating better meals than her own family, it caused her to be shocked.

Tai Yiyan looked at those survivors, and she lightly grinned: "This is Yue Zhong's ability!"

Yue Zhong's capability could be seen from the decent meals and care the survivors receive under him.

Cheng Peipei laughed and replied, "He really is something else!"

Tai Yiyan teased: "I wonder who was it that hated Yue Zhong till his bones. What, now you're fallen for him?"

"I did not!!" Cheng Peipei flushed red, and immediately retorted: "I think you're the one who's fallen for him! Otherwise why would you come looking for him?"

"I do like him. What's wrong about that?" Tai Yiyan did not seem abashed to admit that to her friend.

Cheng Peipei was startled when she heard it, as she hesitated a while before saying: "But Yiyan!! He already has so many women! Even Zhou Yanxue has become his women. Plus I heard he's extremely lustful, every night engaging in acts of pleasure with different ladies, even doing things that would have been frowned upon!"

The matter of Da Gouzi asking for 3,000 virgins from Su Dongming had spread far and wide, and morphed into a version where Yue Zhong is the true lustful character, one who didn't turn down any women, got high on nightlife, capturing any beauty that he saw and becoming a huge sex maniac in the bedroom. However, because of his strength and authority, no one dared to offend him.

Of course, these were all rumors, in fact, Yue Zhong had been kept busy running his affairs, he didn't even have time to bed that beauty, Zhou Yanxue.

Tai Yiyan laughed, and said a little wilfully, "So what? Tang Taizong Li Shimin was also a huge pervert, and had been unabashed about it. In the end he was still the ruler of the nation. Second to none in the entire country, I like this type of men."

TN: Tang Taizong

https/en.m./wiki/Emperor_Taizong_of_Tang

Cheng Peipei looked helplessly at her friend. Her friend was a gutsy lady who loved and hated freely, her free-spiritedness and decisive nature

A soldier led Tai Yiyan and Cheng Peipei towards the firing zone, as Yue Zhong was there doing target practice.

"Amazing! Brother Yue! You destroyed a 100 targets with just 10 shots!!" Wen Peishan was currently passing a bottle of mineral water to Yue Zhong with a look of idolization.

These days, whenever Wen Peishan had the free time, she would hang out with Yue Zhong, becoming a frequent guest of his.

Wen Baogui had also approved of it, as it meant that his relationship with Yue Zhong would be improved as well.

"Thanks." Yue Zhong received the mineral water and smiled at her.

Cheng Peipei glanced at Wen Peishan, and muttered under her breath, "Little vixen!"

After the attack of the Dark Crows, it had led to a rift between Cheng Peipei and Wen Peishan. Although it wasn't to a point where they were enemies, it had caused the once friendly relationship to turn a little cold.

"Brother Yue!!" Tai Yiyan broke out into a sweet smile, and walked towards Yue Zhong's side.

Yue Zhong glanced at Tai Yiyan and asked, "Miss Tai. Is there something you need?"

Tai Yiyan cocked her eyebrow, as she put on a grumpy expression: "Brother Yue, you can just call me Yiyan! If you call me Miss Tai, I will be angry."

Yue Zhong adjusted his register: "Yiyan, is there something you need me for?"

Tai Yiyan fixed her gaze on Yue Zhong and asked: "Must we only look for you when something's up? Can't we find you for fun?"

Yue Zhong gazed at Cheng Peipei and said, "Sure but…I'm pretty busy. I'm afraid I can't entertain both you and Miss Cheng."

Yue Zhong had to handle a lot of things, and he had already delegated most of the other responsibilities to his subordinates. There were some matters that required his personal attention. Especially the 7,000 new survivors he had just accepted, he needed to settle this pressing issue as well as their lives in the future. After all, they couldn't always be digging and setting up traps.

Tai Yiyan looked at Yue Zhong and laughed lightly: "I want to rely on you, and become your secretary! I am after all a graduate from Harvard University in Administration. Having someone like me as your secretary should not be a shameful thing, no?"

Yue Zhong glanced at Tai Yiyan curiously and asked: "How old are you this year? How can you be a graduate of Harvard University?"

Tai Yiyan looked to be at most younger than 20, how could she be a graduate from Harvard University.

Cheng Peipei stood at the side and said a little proudly, "It is true! Yiyan is very smart, she skipped a few grades when she was studying. She is truly a graduate from Harvard University. Furthermore, Brother Yue, you should call me Peipei! No need to refer to me as Miss Cheng!"

Yue Zhong glanced at the self-confident Tai Yiyan and said: "Fine! I will accept you, on a probation of 1 month! If you perform well, then you may stay."

Having a capable beauty as a secretary was also somewhat seductive and cool.

Right at this time, Zhang He ran in gasping for breaths, saying: "Boss Yue!! Something's wrong! There are many people gathered outside!!"

Chapter 0275 – Mutant Black Fishes

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, TheNo1Fan,Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies] Chapter 275: Mutant Black Fish!

"Bring me there." Yue Zhong frowned, and immediately let Zhang He lead the way.

The rest of the ladies present quickly followed behind.

Soon, Yue Zhong's party came to the outskirts of Xinglong Street.

Only to discover that Xinglong Street was packed with countless survivors, over a hundred of Yue Zhong's subordinates were currently pointing their guns at the survivors, being cautious of any survivors that might incite an uproar.

"Boss Yue is here!!"

"Boss Yue!! Please, hire me!!"

"Boss Yue!! I'm begging you, hire me!!"

"I can dig as well!! I was in the civil engineering business prior to the apocalypse! Please hire me!!"

Upon seeing Yue Zhong's arrival, those survivors immediately cheered, and started to kneel and beg to be hired.

These survivors were not here to create trouble, instead, they just wanted to make a living with Yue Zhong. They were leading hard lives, and were willing to do anything just to have a decent meal.

Needless to say, those who were under Yue Zhong could eat their fill, and even have meat from time to time. This treatment led those outside to be envious, and they wanted in as well.

Yue Zhong looked at all the survivors, and frowned because he was indeed in need of help.

However, if he continued gathering so many people? It would definitely get on the nerves of the government. They would not allow him to expand his reach.

Wen Peishan looked at those survivors in tattered clothes, and her heart was filled with sympathy: "Brother Yue! Please help them. See how pitiful they are!"

[Dedition: I hate this girl. Too much glowing innocence. Or maybe I'm just a screwed person…]

Ulamog: yep. Your irreparably broken according to human standards. It's OK! We still love you Dedition! :}

Yue Zhong maintained his silence as he tried to come up with a way to deal with the situation.

Tai Yiyan glanced at Yue Zhong and immediately asked, "Brother Yue! Do you need more help here?"

Yue Zhong replied, "Yes!"

In the post-apocalyptic world, most of the machines had issues and could no longer be utilized. Yue Zhong could only rely on manpower to help set up the traps. He really did need a lot of manpower.

Tai Yiyan looked at Yue Zhong and grinned, before suggestion a marvelous plan. "In this case, let me hire them on your behalf. That way, these people will be under the wing of my Tai family, and have nothing to do with you.

This should bypass the Government's annoyance nicely. Is that Idea ok?"

Tai Yiyan had discerned Yue Zhong's difficulties, and thus proposed this solution.

Yue Zhong's eyes immediately brightened and he laughed. "Good!! Then I'll have to trouble you! I need 5,000 more people to help with the work here. I will let you handle this. Anyone who works for me for a day, I will pay you a dozen jin of food."

If Yue Zhong personally hired these people, it will lead to a clamp down from the SY County's powers, but if it was an internal faction that hired these people, it would not be a problem.

Tai Yiyan grinned at Yue Zhong, and strode towards the survivors as she said: "I will arrange it properly for you!!"

Tai Yiyan walked to the gathering of survivors and called out in a clear voice: "I am Tai Family's Tai Yiyan, whoever wants to work for Yue Zhong report to me now!!"

"I'm willing!!"

"Pick me!!"

The survivors jostled and fought to be first as they called out loudly. They followed Tai Yiyan and left the place.

Tai Yiyan was incredibly capable, after borrowing some subordinates from Yue Zhong, she managed to gather 10,000 survivors, and arranged for a shift system between 2 groups of 5,000 people, taking their turns to work for Yue Zhong. As long as they could eat their fill, they were incredibly satisfied, therefore, they gave it their all in helping Yue Zhong, digging up many huge trenches.

The areas of Yue Zhong's territory near the riverbank were covered with large holes, each holes filled with numerous sharp steel beams, as long as a living creature were to fall in it, they would be penetrated by countless steel spears and die.

Yue Zhong's actions of digging trenches near the riverbank, were seen by some of the people sent by the government to observe, after which no one paid any further attention. They thought that Yue Zhong was wasting his time and energy on these.

After half a month's time, SY County had sent out troops to the southeast direction, destroying a few minor power factions, and absorbing about 6,000 people. At the same time, they killed over 60,000 zombies, and obtained numerous spoils as well as over 6,000 tonnes of rations.

[Dedition: El Diablo…]

Ulamog:What about Diablo 2? Hehehe I only found it years after its heyday… But whew! What a game!

Yue Zhong' side kept themselves busy as well, activating troops towards Long Hai County, conducting minor assaults and investigations. The 7 battalions rotated their shifts, and managed to decimate 3 minor power factions as well, gaining roughly 3,000 people. They killed over 10,000 zombies, and while their rations gained might not be a lot, they benefitted in other areas.

On this day, it was about noon time, as Yue Zhong looked at his Special Combat troops who were all prepared and equipped, before he gave an order: "Commence operations!!"

Under Yue Zhong's lead, the Special Combat forces went towards the riverbank.

"Throw the bait!!" Yue Zhong commanded coldly.

"No!! Don't kill me!!!" A survivor who had raped and murdered 6 women was currently being dragged to the front, his face full of fear as he begged.

Cheng Yu stepped up and slashed a few times, with a few accurate strikes at various points on the survivor's body, causing him to bleed and shriek in pain.

Song Wen calmly activated his Explosive Strength Skill, as he grabbed the survivor, and threw him 15m away into the riverbank.

The survivor started struggling madly in the water, while his blood flowed freely in the waters.

Pretty soon, the blood attracted the attention of the various Mutant Beasts within the waters, and as the waters started to stir, a huge fish of about 2m swam out from the depths.

It swiftly lunged, open jaws full of sharp teeth and with a CHOMP! bit down voraciously on the man. His body was easily sheared in two and some of his intestinal remains and various organs floated away, while others sank as his fresh blood quickly dyed the water red.

"Level 30 Mutant Beast: Mutant Black Fish! It is a fiercely carnivorous mutant fish with relatively powerful jaw pressure which enjoys the taste of Humans."

Yue Zhong stepped out, and aimed for the obvious weak spot of the Mutated Black Fish, as a huge fireball swiftly rushed towards the Black Fish and exploded on its eye.

With a flash, the huge Black Fish was instantly blinded by the crackling fireball.

After being blinded in one eye, the Black Fish submerged itself as it thrashed in pain. Huge ripples spread out from the spot.

"Continue to lower the bait! This time, put it closer!" Yue Zhong watched the struggling Black Fish, as he coldly called out.

Song Wen immediately pulled out another survivor that had committed grave sins. He mercilessly broke his knees and viciously slashed his Achilles tendons, before throwing the wailing man into the waters.

As the survivor struggled hopelessly, his body that was spewing blood attracted the huge fish over. Once again it opened its huge jaws and clamped down on the doomed survivor making the somewhat muffled screams increase to a fever pitch!

Song Wen pulled with every ounce of his strength, tugging the dying but somehow still screaming survivor like a broken rag doll back to shore. The Black Fish's teeth were embedded in his spine and thus it was also pulled up onto shore along with it.

Ulamog: Cabella's: Apocalypse Fishing! Pre-order now to get Special "Gnawed Corpse" Bait skin DLC!

The huge Mutant Black Fish was about 2m wide, 1.2m tall, and was covered entirely in black scales that had a layer of slimy mucus. Its muscular front fins supported its body as it swooped forward, allowing it to traverse on land at speeds that were generally faster than a normal human.

Under those conditions, without undergoing enhancement, a normal person would not be able to escape its clutches.

Seeing the Mutant Black Fish come ashore, Yue Zhong waved his hand, and Tong Xiaoyun rushed up. Killing Mutant Beasts of this level was enough nourishment for her to enhance and level up quickly.

Tong Xiaoyun neared the Mutant Black Fish, and activated her Telekinesis. As she controlled the Dark Magic Blade, it flashed down in an majestic arc. The sharp Dark Magic Blade immediately decapitated the Mutant Black Fish, fresh blood violently spraying out.

Even after being beheaded by the Dark Magic Blade and with less than half of its head left, the Black Fish was still extremely resilient. Somehow it survived as it twisted its body and made its way towards Tong Xiaoyun in a frenzy.

Tong Xiaoyun activated her Telekinesis ability once again. Under her practiced guidance she controlled the Dark Magic Blade to shoot down viciously from the sky. The attack sliced forward penetrating what was left of its head, before twisting hard and scrambling it's brains, finally killing the Black Fish.

When the Black Fish died, a huge orb of experience entered Tong Xiaoyun's body, allowing her to advance in level.

"Release the blood!" Yue Zhong commanded in a low voice.

Tong Xiaoyun immediately used the Dark Magic Blade to cut more wounds on the carcass, causing fresh blood to flow out and dye the waters a further dark red.

Tasting the blood, those Mutant Beasts hiding deep within the river were immediately attracted over.

The once calm waters of the river was suddenly overcome with activity, as 2 huge black fishes swam out from the depths, furiously chomping the carcass of their comrade.

These Mutant Black Fishes even consumed the flesh of their own species without hesitation.

Zhuo Yatong, who had always been fighting on the frontlines, and was also assigned here, wielded her God and Devil System equipment, a huge mace, and rushed out swinging it down ruthlessly onto the head of one of the Black Fishes.

The huge mace swiped down with immense force, and directly caused the head of the Black Fish to explode, splattering the now common sight of chunky brain matter everywhere.

On the other side, Tong Xiaoyun was calmly activating her Telekinesis Ability as she controlled the Dark Magic Blade that Yue Zhong passed to her. Her attacks caused it to flit in and out, penetrating the Dark Fish's brain, before slashing it viciously and killing it.

This time, without time for Zhuo Yatong or Tong Xiaoyun to even catch a breath, a huge spout of water shot towards the sky!

Following that, 9 Mutant Black Fishes started swimming towards the shore crazily, other than those 9 Mutant Black Fishes, there were 2 huge Elite Black Fishes that swam out, mouths bristling with even somehow bigger teeth, each of them possessing a body over 3m wide, 2m tall and a length of 20m.

TN: That's freaking big: https/s-media-cache-ak0./736x/8b/14/0c/8b140c6b7e31e4838286207c8086b0c1.jpg

"Level 40 Mutant Beast: Elite Mutant Black Fish!"

Zhuo Yatong and Tong Xiaoyun looked at the 11 Mutant Black Fish, and their first reaction was to retreat. Trying to handle 11 Mutant Black Fishes on their own was too overwhelming, especially since they did not know what the huge Elite Mutant Black Fishes could do.

Chapter 0276 – Fishes on Land

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The 11 Mutant Black Fishes started towards Zhuo Yatong and Tong Xiaoyun in a frenzy.

Seeing the appearance of the 11 Mutant Black Fishes, the Special Combat warriors by Yue Zhong's side all felt excited, and they rushed towards the Mutant Black Fishes.

Yao Yao's speed was the fastest. As an Agility-based Evolver who had gone through multiple level enhancements, her speed had long surpassed Ji Qingwu and Yue Zhong, and was the fastest attacker within Yue Zhong's force.

Flame King Gu conjured a flame spear and threw it at once, which shot towards one of the Mutant Black Fish like a flash of lightning. The elemental spear pierced its head before exploding, killing it instantly.

Cheng Yu held his Tang Replica Sword, as he made his way agily towards the side of the Black Fish. He swung his sword over and over, slashing a few times before the Black Fish was truly dead.

All the Mutant Black Fish had a slimy layer of mucus, and when Cheng Yu wanted to slice apart its skin, he found it extremely difficult to do so. Therefore, he expended much more time to kill just one Mutant Black Fish.

All the Enhancers trained by Yue Zhong charged forwards and those who were slightly weaker worked together in teams of 3 to deal with a single Black Fish, while those who were stronger fought a Black Fish on their own.

Ji Qingwu had set her sights on the 2 Elite Mutant Black Fishes. They were much bigger in size compared to the other Black Fishes, and their speed outstripped the rest by more than half. They were Level 40 Mutant Beasts, and if Ji Qingwu could successfully hunt them, she would gain a huge boost in experience.

The 2 Elite Black Fishes saw Ji Qingwu coming towards them like a speck of dust, and one of them opened its huge mouth, revealing rows and rows of sharp teeth, biting down as it swam repeatedly as if in provocation.

These Elite Mutant Black Fishes had teeth that were incredibly sharp, even armored money trucks would probably be crushed between those teeth.

Facing the assault of the Elite Mutant Black Fish, Ji Qingwu activated her Shadow Steps in preparation. Then, right at the moment before she would be bitten, she moved towards her right evading the attack from the Elite Mutant Black Fish with flair.She pulled out her QingFeng Sword, activated her Blade Strengthening Skill, and directly pierced the belly of the Elite Mutant Black Fish in retaliation. Quickly she rushed to the front of the fish with her blade still stuck in it's side, opening up a huge wound as copious amounts of reeking fish blood flowed forth from the wound.

That huge Mutant Black Fish started struggling in its agony, and twisted its immense body as it slapped the ground, forcing Ji Qingwu to retreat back a few steps.

Due to its size, its sheer power could not be underestimated. Just a simple slap from it could cause Ji Qingwu to be gravely injured, therefore she had no choice but to retreat while watching it bleed from its wound.

Ji Qingwu had wanted to wait for the Mutant Black Fish to die from loss of blood, but never did she imagine that its recovery rate was freakishly astonishing. Under the effect of the slimy mucus that it excreted, its wound actually closed up and stopped bleeding.

After the wound closed and it stopped bleeding, the Elite Mutant Black Fish stared at Ji Qingwu, its eyes shining with undisguised hatred, and it opened its mouth, shooting a fluorescent green jet of water at Ji Qingwu.

Ji Qingwu was wary of its actions for a while, and the moment she saw it open its mouth, she had already dodged to one side with a flash of her body.

Only to see that the moment the green water beam landed on where Ji Qingwu was previously, the piece of land was immediately corroded away at, as strange wisps of green smoke rose up.

Ji Qingwu's heart fell, as she knew the Elite Mutant Black Fish was not easy to deal with. She shot towards the fish once again like an arrow.

The Elite Mutant Black Fish did not let up, and shot multiple green water jets at her.

Ji Qingwu's battle prowess was outstanding, thus she managed to narrowly dodge the incoming green water jets, and got near the Elite Mutant Black Fish. A long green water jet had just landed behind her, causing the ground to immediately dissolve into a sinkhole.

The Elite Mutant Black Fish saw Ji Qingwu beside its body, and it twisted itself to swipe hard at her.

Ji Qingwu flitted about and dodged the shocking blow from the Black Fish, as she swung her sword and managed to pierce its head. After utilizing the skill she gained after her evolution: Sword Qi, An invincible beam of Sword Qi emitted from the Qingfeng Sword, shooting out explosively, piercing the brain of the Black Fish, turning it into mush and killing it instantly.

The moment the brain was destroyed, the Black Fish struggled awhile more before falling lifelessly to one side, as a huge experience orb entered Ji Qingwu's body, causing her to gain 2 levels in one go.

However, the burden of Ji Qingwu had been equally high. The Sword Qi Skill that she understood was powerful and shocking, but it expended a huge amount of her Spirit, and the Sword Qi could only extend for about a metre. Each time she activated the Sword Qi, she had to spend 40 points of Spirit, furthermore, the more Spirit she expended, the more power and threat It obtained.

After one of the Elite Mutant Black Fish had been dealt with by Ji Qingwu, the remaining Black Fishes had already been killed by the members of Yue Zhong's Special Combat forces.

There was only the other Elite Mutant Black Fish left, and it was incredibly resilient, its defences tough. The Special Combat Forces were not like it, struggling to fend off their attacks, but it was barely injured, and was not dying anytime soon.

The Elite Mutant Black Fish saw its comrades dying under the attacks of the humans led by Yue Zhong, and it let out a shrill and strange cry. After the strange cry resounded, the water in the river started being agitated, and following multiple jets of water shooting towards the skies. Following that, a huge school of Mutant Black Fish appeared from the river, the total number exceeding a hundred.

With a massive tidal wave, 4 huge Black Fishes appeared, their bodies towering above 6m and covered entirely with scales, as though they were buildings, with the intent to destroy everything in their paths.

"Level 56 Mutant Beast. Type 2 Mutant Black Fish!"

Yue Zhong saw the towering Black Fishes, and his face changed, and finally understood why the treasured river was left alone.

4 Type 2 Mutant Beasts were exceptionally terrifying existences, just being within the river, they were invincible. No one could even take on a single blow from these monsters.

Even if Yue Zhong was a dual-attribute Evolver, if he had to battle any of these Type 2 Beasts in the water, he might really be taken down easily and crushed in a single bite.

"Disperse immediately!!" Yue Zhong hollered.

The Special Combat Forces that had been surrounding the Elite Mutant Water Snake immediately retreated to the back.

These Mutant Black Fishes were unyielding, forming an army of Black Fish as they chased up onto the shore.

This army of Mutant Black Fishes numbered more than 100, and they were all above Level 30. There were even 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes, 10 Elite Mutant Black Fishes, this monstrous group was enough to annihilate Yue Zhong's Special Combat forces twice or thrice over.

Facing this situation, the warriors of the Special Combat Force were also well prepared, and made their way towards the trenches that Yue Zhong had arranged to be dug.

After all, these Black Fishes could not be craftier than humans, and many of them fell into those holes that were 3m deep and 20m wide, and were immediately pierced by the numerous sharp steel beams.

When those Black Fishes fell in those huge trenches, they started struggling wildly, but the more they struggled the faster they died. Those huge trenches swallowed up many of the Black Fishes.

However, those trenches were ineffective against those Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes that were more than 6m tall and 60m long. Their scales could block even the explosive power of 25mm missiles and would definitely cause those steel pipes to bend. Their massive bodies just cover the holes, and were not impeded in any sense.

"What fearsome creatures!!!" Yue Zhong looked towards the 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes that towered above 60m and his eyes flashed with a burning look. He had not lifted his hands to attack the Mutant Black Fishes because those low level Mutant Beasts would not be useful to him, however, these 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes were a different story, they could provide him with the best experience.

Yue Zhong activated his Bone Encompassing Armor, and shot towards one of the 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes, and within a few breaths, he had appeared in front of it. He extended a Bone Spear to propel him on top of its body.

However, getting onto the body was harder than Yue Zhong had anticipated, the layer of slimy mucus prevented him from grabbing onto the scales regardless of how he tried.

The Type 2 Mutant Black Fish just shook its body, and Yue Zhong was sent flying from its body.

Another Type 2 Mutant Black Fish turned its body and sucked in, as a huge vortex of air started exerting suction on Yue Zhong who was still in mid-air, causing him to fly towards the gaping mouth of the Type 2 Black Fish!

Yue Zhong flew through the air and was alarmed, as he reached out his right hand, and shot out a bone spear. The spear penetrated the ground fiercely, only then did he prevent himself from being sucked into the mouth of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

The other 2 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes seemed to not notice Yue Zhong, instead they made a beeline towards the direction of Xinglong Street. They could detect the rich source of human energy, and could not forget the taste of humans when they had camped near the bank of the river previously.

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong flew through the air and was alarmed, as he reached out his right hand, and shot out a bone spear. The spear penetrated the ground fiercely, only then did he prevent himself from being sucked into the mouth of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

The other 2 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes seemed to not notice Yue Zhong, instead they made a beeline towards the direction of Xinglong Street. They could detect the rich source of human energy, and could not forget the taste of humans when they had camped near the bank of the river previously.

The attacking Type 2 Mutant Black Fish saw that it could not suck Yue Zhong towards it, and instead twisted its body to move towards him, opening its huge jaws to bite at him.

The body of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish was really massive, meaning that with each little movement of its fore-fins it would propel itself a dozen metres or so. This speed enabled it to quickly reach its destination.

Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps and pushed his speed to the limit as he jumped and rolled. This way he barely managed to dodge the sawtoothed maw of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Black Fish bit into air, Yue Zhong activated his Devil Flame ability. The ability caused 2 fireballs to appear in his hands, while a bone spear shot out from his back and propelled him into the air to land again on top of the back of the Black Fish.

He thrust his blazing hands down towards the body of the Black Fish, while viciously using his landing momentum to increase his attack.Under the burning hot Devil Flames impact, his hands caused the thick slimy mucus to evaporate and he managed to grab on tightly into a scale.

Yue Zhong's Devil Flame had been enhanced to Level 2, and its power was overly terrifying.

The fish which had formidable scales that could even defend against rocket missiles, had 5 small holes burnt into it. This was followed by his burning fingers finally penetrating the scales and brain of the Black Fish.

Unfortunately, it was just that the body was too enormous, and the 5 holes were like a toothpick prick to a human.

Ulamog: How much damage is that?

The Type 2 Black Fish shook its body with all its strength, and a huge shock wave emitted from it.

Yue Zhong could only hold on tightly, and braced for the full impact of that shock wave. Fortunately his body's Endurance was over a hundred points, and although the shock wave was powerful, it could not shake him off.

The Type 2 Mutant Black Fish continued twisting and turning for a while, before finally quietening down in momentary tiredness

Yue Zhong took a huge breath, as the Devil Flame in his right hand flared up and he expended 50 points of Spirit and 20 points of Stamina to condense it into a 2m long Devil Flame Spear.

The moment it was fully formed, Yue Zhong stuck the Devil Flame Spear ruthlessly into the head of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

The Devil Flame Spear pierced the scales of the Type 2 Black Fish. In fact it was only stopped for a mere second, before burning a huge hole in the scale, and directly penetrating the head of the Type 2 Black Fish.

The Devil Flame Spear released its form after it was stuck into the head of the Type 2 Black Fish, and under Yue Zhong's control, its power surged out explosively, frying everything that could be burned.

The Type 2 Black Fish immediately started thrashing about wildly. In its struggle, it caused the surrounding ground to be stirred, as huge shock waves emitted out, and anything in its path was smashed to pieces. As it flopped it even took out huge boulders and trees.

Of course, Yue Zhong had long since jumped off from the body of the Type 2 Black Fish.

Right at this time, one of the other Type 2 Black Fish that had ignored Yue Zhong earlier opened its huge mouth, and shot out a green glob of slime like a rocket towards him.

The moment the Type 2 Black Fish had opened its mouth, Yue Zhong felt a huge sense of danger. He could even feel his scalp go numb from the impending death. He immediately jumped away towards the side.

Fortunately Yue Zhong's reaction was fast, so the green glob of slime spat out by the Type 2 Black Fish only narrowly brushed past his body and exploded behind him.

Following the green wisps of smoke that rose, there was a huge hole that had appeared behind Yue Zhong and the strange green smoke continued rising from the mini crater.

The green glob of slime was a killing move of the Type 2 Black Fishes, just one of it was enough to thoroughly destroy an Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Back when SY County had assigned experts to try and hunt the Mutant Beasts in the waters, a few of the experts had perished and 5 Infantry Fighting Vehicles were destroyed by that green glob of slime.

Precisely because of the existence of these overpowered Type 2 Black Fishes, SY County stopped sending experts to come and hunt the Mutant Beasts of the river. The price to pay was too steep, and one of the top experts of the military had died in one stroke by that green glob of slime shot out by the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

Yue Zhong's body flashed about, as he continuously dodged the sticky green globs, as each of them landed and burst behind him, creating many big holes through its corrosiveness.

"Damn it!! I have to resort to that!!" Yue Zhong was pressured to constantly evade. He continued to run as he looked towards the 2 Type 2 Black Fish crawling crazily towards Xinglong Street and gritted his teeth, before whistling towards the sky.

After that shrill whistle from Yue Zhong, a huge green shadow shot downwards from the skies, and within a few breaths it had arrived at the battlefield.

"What is that??"

"Type 2 Green Eagle!!"

"How could there be such a monster here!?!"

A number of the power factions within SY County saw the huge Green Eagle standing with a wingspan of over 70m blocking out the sun. Its massive body was covered entirely in green feathers, and their expressions changed, as they all scurried for cover.

The airborne Mutant Beasts were absolutely the most fearsome. This was because they came and went like the wind, and were usually fast. The moment they attacked, even Agility-based Evolvers would find it hard to escape their clutches.

SY County had its air defence mechanisms in place, however they were heavily concentrated at the government areas as well as important military camps. As long as the swift Type 2 Green Eagle did not approach those areas, it would not attract the fire from those defence mechanisms.

Even the smaller power factions within SY County did not dare provoke the mighty Type 2 Mutants Beasts in the air. Just a single one of them could cause the annihilation of over a hundred people easily. They had no choice but to hide in their houses, and pray that the Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle would eat its fill and be on its way.

In front of the frightened gazes of the survivors in SY County, the Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle sped down from the sky as it broke the sound barrier, arriving at the riverbank by Xinglong Street. It shot down like a flashing blade, and used those massive claws to penetrate the tough scales of one of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish with a "CRUNCH", piercing its brain ruthlessly.

The Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle flapped its mighty wings and a huge gust of wind was created, as it lifted the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish weighing over 100 tonnes into the skies.

Ulamog:Greenie! I choose you! Gust Attack!

"Great job! Greenie!" Yue Zhong eyed the Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle, and his eyes lit up in delight. This Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle was precisely the beast he had tamed using his Tamer Skill.

After feeding it with the huge amount of Mutant Beast meat as well as nuclei from the ordinary Mutant Beasts and 2 from the Type 2 Water Snake and Type 2 Black Scaled Boar, Greenie had evolved into a Level 60 Type 2 Mutant Green Eagle.

After Greenie had successfully evolved into a Type 2 Mutant Beast, it had become one of Yue Zhong's hidden trump cards. Obviously, it was the source of his confidence in dealing with the riverbank issue.

The Type 2 Mutant Black Fish struggled incessantly by twisting its gargantuan body and trying to escape Greenie's clutches. But it was all to no avail. However, as it was so massive that each time it struggled, it actually caused Greenie to wobble in mid-air. The Evolved Greenie maintained its ascension stubbornly.

Greenie flew to an altitude of more than 200m, and then it released its grip.

On the other side, the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish that was pierced by Yue Zhong's Devil Flame Spear took its last breath, and laid there lifeless.

"Congratulations, you have reached Level 43 and gained 2 attribute points to be allocated!"

"Congratulations, you have reached Level 44 and gained 2 attribute points to be allocated!"

Following the sounds of notification, Yue Zhong had reached Level 44 in a stroke, and he swiftly made his decision, allocating all 4 points into Agility, raising it to 84 points.

Even without activating any skills, he was on average faster than a normal person by 8 times. So the moment he moved, he was as swift as the wind and any martial arts practitioner might not be able to land a blow on him easily.

When the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish died, a blue treasure box and skill book appeared by its body.

Yue Zhong reacted quickly, grabbing the items and immediately opened up the treasure box.

Ulamog: It's a Brick! By embarking on the Dao of the Brick, Excuses now abound to turn this into a xianxia! Sorry~ I'll shut up now

"Level 4 Treasure: Black-Tooth Blade! This is a treasure blade with an incomparable sharpness. Any Level 3 God and Devil System weapon that is struck by it will be instantly broken."

"Level 4 skill book: Type 2 Devil Flame. Rank-Up book for Devil Flame. To learn this skill, the user must have enhanced Devil Flame thrice, and 2 free Skill Points."

"What a great find!!" Yue Zhong looked at the Type 2 Devil Flame Book, and he was overjoyed.

With this Type 2 Devil Flame Skill, once he had enough Skill Points, he could immediately learn it! The prerequisites to learning it were harsh, but likewise, its power was terrifying.

Currently, the strongest weapon Yue Zhong had against most of the Mutant Beasts was his Devil Flame. Obtaining this Type 2 Devil Flame book gave him the direction to focus on his Devil Flame instead of other skills.

Yue Zhong equipped the new Black-Tooth Blade that didn't seem too different from a Tang Replica Sword, (except that it was 2m in length) and rushed towards the remaining 2 Mutant Black Fishes.

As Yue Zhong's speed was incredibly fast and he quickly caught up to an Elite Mutant Black Fish along the way, and he waved his Black-Tooth Blade in attack.

As he attacked he swung down on its head, immediately slashing a gaping wound and neatly partitioning its brain in two crossways.

After its brain was sliced in twain, the Elite Mutant Black Fish struggled a while, before inevitably slumping lifelessly to the ground.

"So sharp!!" he gasped. Yue Zhong saw that the Elite Mutant Black Fish was taken out in just a single stroke, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

A good weapon could increase the battle prowess of a fighter by leaps and bounds. After obtaining this Level 4 Black-Tooth Blade, killing ordinary Mutant Beasts was as easy as chopping vegetables. However, dealing with the Type 2 Mutant Beasts required more than that.

Yue Zhong dashed about like lightning, with each flash of his blade, an Elite Mutant Black Fish would meet its end.

If it were in the water, Yue Zhong might not even be able to handle a single Elite Mutant Black Fish. However, since they came on land, their speed was slower than that in water by several times. After all they were aquatic lifeforms and could take advantage of their terrain to terrorize humans. However, facing experts like Yue Zhong's Special Combat force, they were helpless.

Only the 2 Type 2 Mutant Black Fish continued to move towards Xinglong Street like unstoppable tanks. They wanted to have a feast once they broke through and kill all those who hurt their comrades.

The Special Combat forces evaded the paths of the 2 Type 2 Black Fishes, instead they dispersed to kill those Black Fishes that landed in the trenches and were not yet dead.

Many of the Black Fishes that landed in the traps that Yue Zhong had set, did not die immediately, and hence the Special Combat forces had to ensure their immediate deaths.

Yao Yao, the Agility-based Evolver, was currently wielding a Dark Magic Blade, and weaving in and out of the swarm of Mutant Black Fishes, hacking and slashing her way through. With each level up she was constantly gaining enhancements.

This type of massive invasion from the Mutant Beasts was a rare occurrence, and many of the Special Combat soldiers took the opportunity to gain experience and enhancements.

Under the frenzied killing by the Special Combat Forces as well as the effectiveness of the traps, before the 2 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes even reached Xinglong Street, over 50-60 of the other Black Fishes had already died to the traps or were killed.

From the skies, Greenie flew down swiftly once again, its huge claws ruthlessly grabbing one of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes, and flew once again towards the skies.

At this time, the other Type 2 Mutant Black Fish opened its mouth, and a huge green glob of slime shot towards Greenie.

As a Type 2 Mutant Beast itself, Greenie had an advanced perception of danger as well. It was immediately forced to release its grip on the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish as it shot upwards, dodging the green glob of slime by a narrow breadth.

The Type 2 Mutant Black Fish that escaped Greenie's clutches lifted its head, and shot multiple green globs at Greenie, only to see them rising and falling back to the ground after missing Greenie.

When the green globs missed and landed, they landed in Xinglong street itself, those that landed on buildings, immediately caused huge holes to appear through corrosion.

Upon landing on a person's body, the person would dissolve and turn into a puddle! Although Yue Zhong had arranged for a large number of the survivors to leave and avoid the danger, there were some stubborn fools who refused to leave. Yue Zhong could not force them as well, hence when the green globs landed on some of these poor souls, they were immediately dissolved.

Chapter 0278 – Mutant Crab Horde

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Kun

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Upon seeing this horrendous scene, the stubborn householders immediately began to escape from Xinglong Street one by one, crazily fleeing towards other places. They even left all their personal property behind!

Yue Zhong quickly caught up to the two Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes that had been impeded by Little Greenie and he immediately retrieved a Type PF98 120mm Anti-tank Rocket Launcher, pulling the trigger after aiming at one of the fishes.

With a blazing flash, a rocket bombarded the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish' head, directly blowing out a large hole with fresh blood dripping out. It immediately began to writhe about in a frenzy, struggling on the ground with all its might.

With Yue Zhong's power, dealing with a beast as such was already very strenuous- his energy consumption was huge. He could thus only make use of a slaughter weapon like the Type PF98 120mm Anti-tank Rocket Launcher to deal with the Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes.

Until now, there still hadn't been many Mutant Beasts that were able to block the Type PF98 120mm Anti-tank Rocket Launcher's attacks. The only regrettable thing about using the rocket launcher to slaughter Mutant Beasts was that there was no way of gaining God and Devil System enhancements from this.

The other Type 2 Mutant Black Fish was enraged and as it opened its huge mouth and shot green balls of slimy mucus at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's body flitted, as he dodged the incoming projectiles continuously.

Taking advantage of the scuffle between that Type 2 Mutant Black Fish and Yue Zhong, Greenie flapped its wings and shot down from the skies opening its huge talons in attack.

It grabbed the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish by its head and directly rushed back towards the skies. After ascending to an altitude of more than 200m in a moment, it released its grip.

The Type 2 Mutant Black Fish landed on the ground with such an impact, that its brain was instantly pulverised by its own weight, after thrashing about for a few moments, it slumped lifelessly to the ground.

After the 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes were dead, the battle was decided.

Near the riverbank, after expending a month's worth of time with the efforts of over 13,000 people, the trenches were filled with the numerous remaining ordinary Mutant Black Fishes. They were lured there craftily by Yue Zhong's Special Combat forces. They then proceeded to finish the monsters off.

Ji Qingwu, Yao Yao, Zhuo Yatong , Gu Zhixing and Cheng Yu wasted no time, and hunted the Mutant Black Fishes. Thoroughly wiping them out was only a matter of time.

Yue Zhong held his Black-Tooth Blade, as he observed the surroundings, and didn't join in. He had reached a high level in terms of enhancements, and killing the ordinary Mutant Beasts were not very beneficial to him. Only by hunting and killing Type 2 Mutant Beasts could he level up faster.

With the passing of time, one by one, all the Mutant Black Fishes were finally killed off and the entire place was filled with a fishy smell as well as the smell of blood.

After determining that the battle was over, Yue Zhong went over to the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish that he killed. Next he used the Black-Tooth Blade to cut open its head and began burrowing his body wholly into its massive entirety, retrieving the red blood essence and white nuclei from the brain as he always did.

When he burrowed out from the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish body, he had a huge change in expression.

He discovered that near the riverbank, numerous huge crabs, each the size of a human face as well as a pair of huge thick claws, were crawling up from the water.

"Level 13 Mutant Beast: Mutant Crab! An extremely ferocious horde. When they're together, they are the nightmare of many creatures."

The Mutant Crabs were only Level 13 individually, but their horde numbered above tens of thousands. They were clustered together like a wave that slowly encroached upon the shore. When they crawled up the carcasses of the Mutant Black Fishes near the riverbank, they would use their huge pincers to pinch and cut up the bodies.

Yue Zhong looked at the sea of Mutant Crabs that were clustered together densely like ants and he immediately shouted into the walkie talkie: "Disperse!! All soldiers from the Special Combat Force disperse right now!! Chen Shitou, activate the 8th Battalion!!"

These Mutant Crabs had low levels, and if they numbered in the thousands, Yue Zhong would not be too worried. However, it was way over tens of thousands, even his Special Combat Forces would not be able to deal with being overrun by these critters.

Ji Qingwu glanced at the concentrated horde, and gave an order to Yao Yao and Cheng Yu: "Yao Yao!! Cheng Yu!! Both of you go to the front lines and get as many blood essences as you can! The rest of you, after you have retrieved the blood essence from the Mutant Beasts in front of you, immediately fall back to Xinglong Street."

Yao Yao, Cheng Yu and Ji Qingwu had always favoured the strengthening of their Agility through their enhancements, and had the confidence to escape from the horde of Mutant Crabs if need be.

Upon receiving Ji Qingwu's and Yue Zhong's orders, the Special Combat forces swiftly pried open the heads of the Mutant Black Fishes, and dug out many of the blood essences, before striding back towards Xinglong Street.

Every single soldier of the Special Combat Force could easily deal with 10 of these Mutant Crabs, however, the horde was way more than they could handle, thus they could only retreat. Otherwise, if they were trapped in the midst, they would only end up in a fight to the death.

At the riverbank, the Mutant Crabs were currently swarming over the dead carcasses of the Mutant Black Fishes, using their sharp claws to dismember the bodies near effortlessly.

The entire body of these Mutant Black Fishes were treasures to Yue Zhong, especially the 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes. Their blood essences and nuclei were even more precious, Yue Zhong was naturally unwilling to let the Mutant Crabs snatch his prize away. He waved his Black-Tooth Blade about and slashed at the Mutant Crabs in a frenzy, making his way to the remaining 3 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes' carcasses.

Greenie who was flying about in the sky also flew down, and gobbled up those Mutant Crabs. When they tried to crawl towards it, it would flap its wings, causing 2 huge gusts of wind to blow them away, allowing it to feed at leisure.

Yao Yao, Cheng Yu and Ji Qingwu continued slaughtering any Mutant Crabs they came across, and swiftly moved to the carcasses of the Elite Mutant Black Fishes. As soon as they did they pried open the heads, and retrieved the blood essence and nuclei.

The total number of Mutant Crabs who were climbing upshore numbered over 30,000 and out of which, 10,000 plus of them were attracted to the dead carcassess of the Mutant Black Fishes, and were dismembering and gorging on the meat in a frenzy. The remaining ones were making their way towards Xinglong Street.

Chen Shitou eyed the horde crawling towards Xinglong Street and hollered at the soldiers of the newly formed 8th Battalion: "Open fire!! Kill these Mutant Crabs! Tonight, we'll feast on steamed crabs!! Whoever kill more gets to eat more!!"

"I want to eat 3!!"

"I want to eat 2!!"

Following the excited hollers, the new soldiers of the 8th Battalion raised their guns and started firing at will.

Although the Mutant Crabs had levels beyond normal zombies, from the exterior, they did not seem as fearsome as the zombies. While they had a lot in numbers, in the eyes of the soldiers of the 8th Battalion, these Mutant Crabs were all juicy meals. They were simply not afraid of these crabs.

As the bullets rained on the Mutant Crabs, many of them would be riddled with bullets. While their horde gave off a huge pressure, since they were on land their capabilities were reduced by over 50%, and the hail of bullets left little to chance, causing many of the Mutant Crabs to be killed.

In order to deal with the possible scenario of a horde, Yue Zhong had long arranged for over 20 Type 56 light machine gun as well as 50 Type 56 heavy machine guns to be transferred from Ning Guang County.

Facing the imminent assault of the horde of Mutant Crabs, the Type 56 heavy machine guns opened fire, spraying a fearsome line of bullets. This fire caused a concentrated rain of bullets to fall on the densely clustered horde of Mutant Crabs.

The soldiers of the 8th Battalion were also currently using their .03 rifles and firing wildly at the Mutant Crabs, picking off the critters one by one.

If it were humans facing these attacks, they would definitely lose all morale and retreat, however these less intelligent Mutant Beasts only braced the assault and continued marching on towards Xinglong Street.

At this time, the experts from the Special Combat Force as well as the close quarter combat specialists from the 8th Battalion stepped up to engage the Mutant Crabs that had breached the line of defence.

Upon engaging in battle with these Mutant Crabs, the soldiers understood why these were Level 13 creatures. Although they were not extremely fast, their defences were super tough, and those soldiers who had not undergone enhancement could not even break past their shells even when wielding the Tang Replica Swords. It took those with Strength above 20 points to be able to break their shells open. Furthermore, these Mutant Crabs had great strength of their own, their claws could dismember the scales of the Mutant Black Fishes that were Level 30, if a normal person got their own legs caught within the claws, it would immediately be clamped off.

After a short battle, Yue Zhong's 8th Battalion had already suffered 6 casualties who lost their legs. As soon as they fell, the Mutant Crabs climbed over them and clamped their heads off.

Seeing the horde of Mutant Crabs coming in like a wave, the warriors of the 8th Battalion switched to using grenades.

Ulamog:Thou shalt throw thine Holy Hand Grenade and thy Enemy shalt Bloweth Uppeth.

The which rained down amidst the horde of Mutant Crabs, caused those critters to be blasted, easing the overall pressure on Xinglong Street.

However, the numbers of the Mutant Crabs were simply too many, and those using grenades and guns could not block the onslaught of those Mutant Crabs forever. As time ticked by, the casualties on Yue Zhong side was starting to pile up.

"Time to feast on crabs!!"

Right at this time, over a hundred survivors wielding shovels, sticks, baseball bats and large hammers charged into the battlefield, using their weapons to attack the Mutant Crabs wildly.

Under the frenzied assault of the survivors, 40 of the Mutant Crabs had their shells forcefully smashed and died. After killing those 40 Mutant Crabs, the survivors dragged the bodies of the dead Mutant Crabs and left the battlefield in high spirits.

As that team of survivors left, another team of red-eyed survivors rushed forward in Guerilla Warfare, waving their crude weapons to catch those delicious Mutant Crabs.

Chapter 0279 – Crabbing Team

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, Kun

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

When those survivors joined in the crabbing with fanaticism, the pressure on Yue Zhong's forces lessened.

"Who are these people?" Chen Shitou saw different groups of survivors joining in the fray his eyes flashing with suspicion as he asked.

Chen Shitou's second-in-command Chen Yu reported back: "I've checked! These people are the crabbing team assigned by Miss Tai Yiyan!!"

Tai Yiyan stood atop a platform as she observed the 10,000 survivors below, as her clear voice rang out: "Remember this! Each time you head out to catch the crabs, you can only go in a group, and each group consists of a hundred people maximum!"

"Each team can only catch 40 crabs, and after passing 4 to me, the rest can be shared amongst yourselves. If you dare take more, there won't be another opportunity like this for you in the future! Whoever wants to catch crabs, come and report your name to me! Form your teams! Get in position!"

"I want to eat crabs!!!"

"Me too!!"

Under the instigation and motivation from Tai Yiyan, the 10,000 survivors were swept along with hungry passion, and shouted out at the top of their voices. At the same time, many of them got into orderly groups and had sent representatives to report their names, awaiting their turns to go catch the Mutant Crabs.

Working with Yue Zhong, the survivors had learnt that Yue Zhong prioritized discipline. Those who did not behave or acted out of line were either beaten, or immediately kicked out from the team. Therefore, they learnt to act with discipline, and were incredibly orderly.

Tai Yiyan saw the 10,000 survivors lining up in such a fashion and entering Xinglong street to capture the Mutant Crabs, and her eyes flashed with a glint of satisfaction.

If those survivors were made to kill zombies, they definitely wouldn't dare go. However, if they were sent to go crabbing, even if they had to catch crabs the sizes of washbowls, those starved survivors would still throw themselves at the crabs without any hesitation.

Tai Yiyan hadn't actually organised too many people to enter Xinglong Street at once. On the one hand, Xinglong Street couldn't hold that many people, whilst on the other hand, it was to let those survivors know that it was a very rare opportunity. It would make them long for the opportunity of crabbing, and so when it came to their turn to go crabbing, they would put in much more effort.

It wasn't long before teams of survivors began to walk out of Xinglong Street one by one. The numerous washbowl-sized crabs that they carried made the other survivors' eyes all turn red. That was quite a few kilograms' worth of meat, perhaps even a dozen. This made them long for the opportunity to catch the washbowl-sized crabs even more.

Teams of survivors began to frantically rush into Xinglong Street under Tai Yiyan's watch one after another. They crazily captured the crabs that had broken into Xinglong Street in their hungry frenzy. Swinging all manner of makeshift weapons, hey killed the crabs one by one before snatching them away.

Under the fanatic energy of the survivors, the pressure on Chen Shitou and his team was reduced by a lot, and the casualty rate was decreased as well.

They only had to open fire and shoot at the Mutant Crabs, while those Mutant Crabs which broke through and entered Xinglong Street were immediately killed by the Special Combat forces, as well as the crabbing team from Tai Yiyan, and the experts in the 8th Battalion.

Under the passionate help of the crabbing teams, the situation in Xinglong Street was stabilized. Although the firepower that Yue Zhong obtained from the huge armory could not compare with the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, it won due to its sheer amount, and was enough for the 8th Battalion to equip and utilize in just such a scenario.

On the other side, by the riverbank, Yue Zhong had finished digging out the blood essences and nuclei from the 4 Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes. He saw the densely packed Mutant Crabs around the area, and he frowned. They had devoured the many Mutant Black Fishes that he had painstakingly killed.

The number of the Mutant Crabs was truly unbelievable: even after Yue Zhong killed a few tens of them in a few moves, the total number did not seem to have shrunk. He could only defend the carcass of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish near him, not allowing the Mutant Crabs to devour it.

Little Greenie also protected the carcass of the other Type 2 Mutant Black Fish under Yue Zhong's command: after all, it was already a Type 2 Mutant Beast by now, one that was taller than Yue Zhong by a dozen times. A casual swipe from one of its wings could create a hurricane-like outburst that could blow the Mutant Crabs away. Its defence was thorough.

Right when the crowd of survivors was in a deadlock with the crab horde， the waters of the river churned again, as a whole lot of critters the size of footballs and claws of about 20mm came up ashore.

Following the Mutant Crabs, were Mutant Crayfish. There were even 60 Elite Mutant Crayfishes of 1m height and 12 to 13m in length crawling behind.

"Level 10 Mutant Beast: Mutant Crayfish!"

"Level 30 Mutant Beast: Elite Mutant Crayfish!"

"Damn it! Are you not really gonna let up?!" Yue Zhong saw the countless Mutant Crayfishes crawling up from the riverbank and he could not help but exclaim in desperation.

The Mutant Crab horde was already enough to cause a headache, now these countless Mutant Crayfishes had just joined in the fray. Unless he arranged for the artillery or armored team to come, it would be nearly impossible to deal with these 2 Mutant Beasts horde.

Just then, the moment the Mutant Crayfish came ashore, those Mutant Crabs suddenly changed direction and crawled towards the Mutant Crayfishes, and used their claws and attacked the Mutant Crayfishes viciously. The smaller Mutant Crayfishes were dismembered one by one by the Mutant Crabs.

Those Mutant Crayfish did not remain impassive either. They used their similarly large pincers to counterattack, and some of the Mutant Crabs were likewise clamped clean in two by the Mutant Crayfishes.

The 60 Elite Mutant Crayfishes were like 60 mini tanks, directly rushing headlong into the horde of Mutant Crabs, using their massive claws to snap about, each attack dismembering 2 Mutant Crabs. Their shells were even tougher than the Level 30 Mutant Blackfish scales, and those Mutant Crabs found it hard to break past their shells. This was why they could proceed forwards within the clash unharmed.

The horde of Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes were engaging in an all-out slaughter amongst themselves, and Yue Zhong watched on with delight. He hoped that they would kill each other off.

After the two sides were killing each other for a while, the waters again churned and frothed. Shortly, 50 Elite Mutant Crabs that towered above 3m tall crawled out from the water.

"Level 35 Mutant Beast: Elite Mutant Crab!"

The moment the 50 Elite Mutant Crabs appeared, they instantly clashed furiously with the 60 Elite Mutant Crayfishes. Amidst the slaughter, the victors would gobble up the blood essence from the losers and proceeded to level and enhance themselves.

Those Level 40 and under Mutant Beasts had no nuclei, their bodies, flesh and blood essence were the only things that provided enhancement. Mutant Beasts above Level 40 as well as variations like the Elites and Type 2s would generate a nuclei. Swallowing the nuclei was the most beneficial form of enhancement and evolution. This was precisely why the beasts were so bloodthirsty, the appeal of evolution was too attractive.

The battles between the 2 hordes near the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish's carcass were the most brutal. Every few seconds, there would be one or 2 Elite Mutant Beasts being clamped in two by the opposing horde, their limbs dismembered and bodily fluids spraying everywhere.

Yue Zhong hid at a side and observed the all-out slaughter between the 2 hordes. It must be said that he was enjoying the spectacle. Any Mutant Crab or Mutant Crayfish that got too close to him would be immediately killed.

These low-level critters could not pose a threat to the heavily armed Yue Zhong.

The Encompassing Bone Armor skill reached its limit, and after detaching, White Bones stood by Yue Zhong's side and waved its huge axe about, chopping any Mutant Crab or Crayfish that got too close.

White Bone's continuous slaughter for just a few moments already resulted in the deaths of a few dozens of the Mutant Beasts.

Yue Zhong was seated atop the head of the Mutant Black Fish, drinking his Divine Spring Tea. It could add a little Spirit upon drinking it for the first time, and if the user had expended a huge amount of Spirit prior to drinking it, it could replenish Spirit quickly.

The only downside to it was that the Divine Spring Tea could cause people to become dizzy, and Yue Zhong was actually drinking in right smack in the middle of danger! It was almost like he was courting death!

However, Yue Zhong's Vitality was indeed high, the incapacitating effects of the tea was rather short lived for him. That was why he dared to drink the Divine Spring Tea to replenish his Spirit even in the midst of danger.

Just as Yue Zhong was looking on expectantly at the slaughter between the 2 hordes, the waters of the river churned again and this time, a huge Mutant Crayfish towering over 3m, and a length of over 40m came out.

[TN: HOW BIG IS THIS DAMNED RIVER?!] Ulamog: it's big like the Mississippi obvo….

50m away from the appearance of that huge Mutant Crayfish, a huge Mutant Crab of over 6m and pincers of more than 5m also broke through the water surface.

"Level 50 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Mutant Crayfish!"

"Level 53 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Mutant Crab!"

The moment the 2 monstrous beasts appeared, those critters of the hordes that were clashing seemed to have receive some order, and immediately ceased all entanglement.

At the same time, a huge wave rippled out from the middle of the river, a huge crocodile-like head emerged, it's body covered entirely with scales, its tail serrated, its height exceeding 8m, as if a huge tower had emerged out from the lake.

"Level 66 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle! A huge turtle that is extremely ferocious."

Ulamog: The Patriarch Has arrived!

The moment the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle arrived, the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and Type 2 Mutant Crab went over to their smaller comrades and they all stood obediently to the side. A huge oppressive aura was overflowing from the body of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

The Type 2 Mutant Beasts were after all strong and fearsome beasts. This Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle was a peak existence amongst the Type 2 Mutant Beasts, and could easily kill the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and Type 2 Mutant Crab.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle had an extremely cold gaze as it emitted a huge sound.

The Type 2 Mutant Crayfish, and Type 2 Mutant Crab responded with their own calls.

After the sound rang out, the hordes of Mutant Crayfish and Mutant Crabs ceased all fighting and started making their way towards Xing long Street.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle brought its two smaller brothers as they walked towards the direction of Xinglong Street.

"Not good!! If I don't take care these 3 huge fellows, I'm afraid we can't hold out anymore!!" Yue Zhong looked at the horde of Mutant Sea Creatures, and his eyes flashed with extreme worry.

Chapter 0280 – Teenagers! Mutants! Ninjas! Turtles!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The total number of Mutant Crayfishes and Mutant Crabs combined together exceeded over 70,000, while Yue Zhong's forces standing guard at Xinglong Street were only about 500 people.

If those 2 hordes joined forces and attacked Yue Zhong's subordinates, it would almost be impossible to resist. The only consolation was that after obtaining the huge armory of weapons, Yue Zhong's forces had gained a huge amount of ammo and it could be utilized freely here.

When the 3 Type 2 Mutant Beasts had come upshore about 60m from the waters, Yue Zhong who had buried himself inside the body of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish jumped out, and swiftly took out his PF98 anti-tank rocket and fired a shot at the weakest-looking Type 2 Mutant Crayfish.

With a flash of flame, the rocket shot towards the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and exploded on its body.

The explosion rang out loudly, and bits of shell and flesh were blasted everywhere, causing a huge wound on the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish's body as it was almost blasted to smithereens.

However, the Crayfish was after all known for its extremely hard shell. Even after the rocket had successfully destroyed its shell, it was not enough to destroy its body.

Receiving such a grievous wound, the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish immediately struggled in agony, and twisted its body about. Its writhing about caused the surrounding dust to be kicked up, as it accidentally fell into one of the trenches and was pierced in its wound by the numerous sharp steel spikes within, adding on to its misery and pain.

Yue Zhong's attack had revealed his position, and the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle and Type 2 Crab turned their heads towards him.

Yue Zhong didn't dare delay too much, as he switched out another PF98 and fired a shot at the Type 2 Mutant Crab.

With a flash, the anti-tank missile shot towards and exploded violently on the Type 2 Mutant Crab's shell, causing a huge hole to be blasted in the Type 2 Mutant Crab's shell and body as well, and green fluid started flowing out from the Type 2 Mutant Crab.

The Mutant Crab started struggling in its incomparable pain, and it violently moved about, before also falling into another huge trench Yue Zhong had ordered dug. It flipped and continued scurrying.

Just as Yue Zhong wanted to swap out for another PF98, a huge sense of danger welled up in his heart, and he immediately activated his Shadow Steps Skill, dodging to the side in a frenzy.

An extremely sharp ice spear pierced through the space and penetrated Yue Zhong above his left abdomen, across his shoulder. Breaking a hole in his Bone Encompassing Armor, the ice spear brush past, almost penetrating his body.

Yue Zhong stared fixedly, only to see the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle summoning a huge layer of ice around it, causing its entire body to be submerged in a layer of thick ice, as though it had become a mountain of ice.

With just a thought, long spears would be conjured out of thin air, and shot towards Yue Zhong like missiles. Ice control was the special ability belonging to its species, and after seeing Yue Zhong ruthlessly attacking the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and Type 2 Mutant Crab, it brought out its own abilities as well.

Right at this time, Greenie shot down from the sky like a lightning bolt, its talons outstretched, and it grabbed the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish, and carried it as it rushed towards the skies.

The weight of the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish could not compare to the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish, and Greenie easily reached a high altitude, before flinging the beast downwards.

When the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish fell from the sky and landed viciously on the ground, it was killed by the impact.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle continued its advance towards Yue Zhong like an ice mountain, continuously firing the ice spears at him.

Facing the barrage of attacks from the Mutant Beast, Yue Zhong flitted about, evading the attacks. Fortunately his Agility was high enough, and he somehow managed to dodge most of the attacks. If he was hit by even one of them, he would most likely be penetrated instantly by 10 ice spears and be made into a corpse.

All of a sudden, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle activated its ability, and 30 ice spears shot out from the ice mountain, aiming for Yue Zhong. The many spears locked down any space that he could possibly escape to. It had cunningly forced Yue Zhong to a location with no cover, before activating its killing move.

Yue Zhong's expression changed, and he immediately rolled towards a huge trench. The sharp steel beams in the trench pierced him, but fortunately for the Bone Encompassing Armor, the sharp steel beams could not do any damage to him.

The 30 ice spears lost their target, passing through the air and striking the ground, before the ground became a patch of ice, causing the surround temperature to drop by 1 or 2 degrees.

Yue Zhong climbed up swiftly from the trench, and hoisting the PF98 he fired another shot at the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

With a flash, the rocket shot towards the Mutant Beast explosively.

Just after Yue Zhong pulled the trigger, a thick wall of ice appeared out of thin air in front of the Mutant Beast.

With a 'bang!', the rocket exploded, causing a large hole to appear in the wall of ice. Yet it did not do a single thing to the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

"What an overpowered Mutant Beast!!" Yue Zhong exclaimed as he took a look at the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, not believing his eyes. He had used the PF98 Anti-Tank missiles on so many Type 2 Mutant Beasts, but this was the first time one had actually managed to defend against it.

After blocking the impact and explosion from the PF98 120mm round, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle fired its ice spears at Yue Zhong. While it attacked it continued moving towards him with big steps, it wanted to thoroughly squash this small enemy. It surprisingly felt a sense of danger from this little bug.

Yue Zhong dodged into one of the trenches, and evaded the assault of the various ice spears, before swiftly swapping in another rocket with his PF98. He jumped out in a flash, and rolled right in front of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle and fired the anti-tank rocket at point black range.

With a flash, the anti-tank missile immediately exploded in the face of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, causing the protective layer of ice to be shattered, revealing its shell. However, in just a blink of an eye, the ice layer was immediately reformed.

The ice control ability of this Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle was truly overpowered, even stronger than the natural defence of most Type 3 Mutant Beasts. Its only weakness was that the movement on land was reduced, and the attacking speed was affected as well. However, it allowed this Type 2 Mutant Beast to be a true tyrant amongst its peers.

"I don't believe that there is no end to your ice ability!!" Yue Zhong stared at the Mutant Beast, while he gritted his teeth and fired another shot towards the head of the Mutant Snapping Turtle.

The Mutant Snapping Turtle saw the incoming rocket aimed at its head, it seemed to cease all other movement, and expended its ice control ability to form an ice wall in front of it.

With another explosion, the ice wall faced a similar fate as the previous one, and Yue Zhong's attack was contained easily.

It was just that Yue Zhong did not show any signs of stopping, instead, he continued to fire his PF98 at the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

Under the pressure of the rockets, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle had no choice but to continue conjuring the ice wall to stop the attacks.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle could withstand the anti-tank rockets of Yue Zhong, at the cost of a huge expenditure of its Spirit and natural ability to control ice after it had evolved to a Type 2 Beast. Its ultimate defence would not be able to withstand Yue Zhong's attacks for long.

Yue Zhong swiftly swapped out the rockets of the PF98 continuously and did not let up, firing multiple rockets at the Mutant Beast and slowly wearing down its ice ability.

On the other side, after dealing with the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish, Greenie flapped its wings and shot towards the Type 2 Mutant Crab, grabbing it and flying to the skies before flinging it the same way it did with the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish.

Upon forcefully crashing onto the ground, it was killed by the impact, even it's incredibly hard shell could not withstand the force and protect its life.

The moment the Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and Mutant Crab met their end, the smaller Mutant Crayfishes and Crabs had no way of maintaining the peace and went back slaughtering amongst themselves.

Near Xinglong Street, the horde of Mutant Crayfish, Mutant Crabs and humans were engaged in a killing frenzy. However, when the 2 hordes attacked each other, the pressure on Yue Zhong's side was lessened by a great deal.

This made it so that they only had to deal with those Mutant Beasts that breached the defence and were intending to attack the humans. After which, they just had to watch the show and observe the 2 hordes killing each other.

Yue Zhong had fired a total of 22 rockets, almost exhausting his entire supply of anti-tank ammunition.

In Yue Zhong's storage ring, he had kept 30 loaded PF98 anti-tank rocket launchers, after firing the 30 of them, he had to reload them individually.

The PF98 was extremely tyrannical, useful and efficient when dealing with higher level zombies. Yue Zhong could not possibly keep all the PF98s with himself and without leaving for any of his troops. That way even if he was extremely well-prepared, his subordinates might meet an undeserving end without ample firepower.

Under Yue Zhong's constant onslaught, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle was forced to expend a lot of its ice control ability, and there was a dispirited look in its eyes. After blocking the latest rocket from Yue Zhong, it actually turned around and made its way back towards the river.

This type of high level Mutant Beasts possessed some intelligence, and knew that if it could not win, it would definitely retreat, instead of maintaining a futile resistance stupidly.

"Good chance!!" Yue Zhong saw the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle trying to escape towards the river, and his eyes flashed with delight, and let out a victorious roar.

From the sky, Greenie flew downwards like an arrow, its hook-like talons viciously aiming for the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle could only stop in its tracks, and lifted its head, before controlling the ice layer around its head to form an ice spear to shoot at Greenie.

Greenie flapped its wings, and changed directions in mid-air, dodging the ice spear extremely easily. However, it was forced to stay at a distance because of the ice spear, and did not dare approach the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle. Instead, it circled in the air, exerting a pressure on the behemoth.

Yue Zhong's body flashed forward, in a short span of less than 10 seconds, he caught up with the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, shooting out a bone spear from his back, propelling him on to the turtle's back.

The moment he jumped on the back, he activated his Devil Flame, and a huge fiery ball of flame blossomed in his hands, exploding towards the head of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

Under the intense burning of the Devil Flame, the ice layer covering the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle started to melt.

The burning capabilities of fire was the best counter to ice. Of course, the prerequisite was that both must be of similar levels in terms of power. The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle had expended a lot of energy to defend against Yue Zhong's attacks earlier, now it's ice control ability was running out of power to stand against his Devil Flames.

When the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle noticed its ice layer melting, it immediately withdrew its head and limbs into its shell, controlling the remaining ice to seal up the holes in the shell.

Yue Zhong exerted all his strength to force the Devil Flame through the holes, melting the ice quickly.

The ice walls were constantly melted down and refrozen, but each time, the layer got thinner.

After about 10 secs of exposure, Yue Zhong's Devil Flame finally burned through the wall and made contact with the head of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle.

When it was touched by the scorching hot Devil Flame, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle immediately stuck out its limbs, and pushed with all its strength, rolling rapidly on the floor.

Yue Zhong landed on the ground after leaping off its back, while controlling the Devil Flame to continue assaulting the head of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle. In a flash of inspiration he activated his Tamer Technique and guided it towards the Mutant Beast.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle had its Ice Control ability worn down entirely by Yue Zhong, and was tormented by the Devil Flame that he used, the moment the Tamer Technique landed on its body, it barely reacted . A strange rune appeared on the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle's forehead, and gently entered its brain.

That rune entered in between the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle's brows, and Yue Zhong felt a strange sense of connection between himself and the beast form.

Chapter 0281 – Huge Victory

Translated by: Kun, DcbLol

Edited by: Ulamog, dedition, Johnyxn

Yue Zhong felt excited, he was initially worried that it would require more energy to try and tame the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, at the very least, he might have needed to try three times. He did not expect that he would be successful upon the first try.

Yue Zhong immediately stopped the burning of the Devil Flame. After all, it was a Mutant Beast under his control now, and he did not want to injure his pet.

The moment Yue Zhong ceased his Devil Flame, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle immediately crawled towards him.

It came to Yue Zhong and lowered its head, expressing subservience.

Yue Zhong took a look at the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, only to discover that its eyes were showing signs of exhaustion, as it had expended a huge part of its energy, to the point of injury.

The Black Fish's green slime projectile, as well as the ice mountain and ice wall skills of this Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle were the last resorts of such Mutant Beasts. However, activating them came at a huge price, after expending huge amounts of energy, they would become weak, therefore, unless they came across a powerful opponent, they would usually not resort to these moves.

As Yue Zhong had incapacitated the other Type 2 Mutant Beasts with his PF98, the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle had spared no effort to try and deal with him.

"Let's call you Turtle!!" Yue Zhong looked at his new pet that was the size of a bungalow, and proclaimed its name in an extremely satisfied manner. Yue Zhong had no talent in coining names. He liked it simple, so as long as he could say it easily, it would suffice.

The Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle nodded it's head, seemingly accepting the name. After all, it possessed some intelligence, after being connected with Yue Zhong, it could understand a bit of his speech.

Yue Zhong looked at his new pet Turtle and his eyes flashed with excitement and joy, it was a Type 2 Mutant Beast, and extremely powerful. It could even block the power of PF98 anti-tank rounds. With this new Type 2 Mutant Beast, the river would become Yue Zhong's inexhaustible resource.

With Turtle's help, as long as Yue Zhong gave the command, the entire river channel would become Yue Zhong's fishing grounds. Similarly, with just an order, the entire channel could only allow fishing and no boats.

Yue Zhong looked at the exhaustion in Turtle's eyes, and immediately retrieved the 2 nuclei that he picked from the Type 2 Black Fishes.

When Turtle saw the 2 nuclei, its eyes brightened up, and stuck its tongue out, swallowing the 2 nuclei from the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish.

Yue Zhong had not discovered any use for the nuclei, it did not seem to have any effect on humans. However, it was different for Mutant Beasts. Greenie could evolve so quickly into a Type 2 Beast was precisely because Yue Zhong gave it plenty of nuclei to swallow, of which there were nuclei from the Type 2 Mutant Black-Scaled Boar and Mutant Water Snake. That had hastened the evolution process.

After Turtle swallowed the 2 nuclei, its eyes seemed to shine with vigor, and its health started to regenerate quickly.

Yue Zhong saw that Turtle was recovering well, and jumped on top of Turtle and commanded: "Turtle, let's charge!! Take care of those guys!"

Hearing Yue Zhong's command, Turtle started to take huge steps towards the battlefield of the Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes.

Turtle's speed was not extremely fast, but that was when compared to Mutant Beasts of the same level on land. It was after all a Type 2 Mutant Beast, its body massive, every step it took was like tens of steps taken by a human. Its ordinary movement could already match up to an Enhancer with 6 times the speed of a normal human. If it exerted its strength, it could reach up to speeds 9 times that of humans.

Turtle charged and crushed everything in its path, all the Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfish unfortunate enough to be in its path would become meat paste.

When those ordinary Mutant Crayfishes and Mutant Crabs lost their Type 2 leaders, they launched an assault on Turtle. However, while their claws were sharp, they could not do anything to Turtle's defence, since it was a Type 2 Mutant Beast.

"What monster is that!!"

"Heavens! There's such a monster!!"

The soldiers of the 8th Battalion who were guarding Xinglong Street noticed the building-like Turtle and their eyes were filled with shock. The size of the Mutant Beast was too shocking.

"Boss Yue!! It's Boss Yue!!"

"Commander Yue!! Goodness, it really is Commander Yue on top that Mutant beast!!"

"What?! He even managed to subdue such a beast??"

The soldiers of 8th Battalion and the Special Combat Force saw Yue Zhong on top of the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle, and their morale shot through the roof.

Countless shots were fired and bullets rained on the horde of Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes, riddling them with holes.

The Special Combat forces also rushed out to engage the Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes in battle, although the experience gained would not be too much, accumulating it all would still be beneficial.

Yue Zhong urged Turtle towards the Elite Mutant Crayfishes and Elite Mutant Crabs engaged in slaughter amongst themselves.

Turtle quickly reached their location, as it opened its huge mouth, and bit off the heads of the Elite Mutant Beasts, gobbling them up.

When the Elite Mutant Crayfishes and Elite Mutant Crabs saw that the tyrannical Turtle attacking them, they dispersed and scattered, each trying to make a run for it. These Elite Mutant Beasts possessed intelligence, and could sense the overbearing danger from the Type 2 Mutant Snapping Turtle. Without the adequate strength, they could not even muster the courage to face it.

When the Elite Mutant Beasts of both hordes started to scatter, it created confusion and chaos amongst the hordes. A huge number of the Mutant Beasts also made their way towards the river, escaping into the water.

"We won!!!"

"We won!!!"

Seeing the Elite Mutant Beasts retreating and escaping like a receding tidal wave, the entire Xinglong Street erupted in celebration.

Many of the soldiers of the 8th Battalion were elated, earlier when the 2 hordes had moved against them together, they were sure that they were going to die. Never did they imagine that the Mutant Beasts would suddenly fell apart, and escaped towards the river.

"Go back to the river!!" Yue Zhong patted Turtle's head, and gave it an order.

Turtle nodded towards Yue Zhong, and lifted its massive body as it entered the waters.

After the huge victory, the entire stretch of land from Xinglong Street to the river was filled with corpses of Mutant Crayfishes, Mutant Crabs and Mutant Black Fishes.

Yue Zhong immediately ordered some troops to keep watch and sealed the place, not allowing any outsiders in.

This time, the huge number of Mutant Beasts that had launched an assault on them, resulted in the deaths of 9 soldiers from the 8th Battalion, and another 8 with injuries. However, Yue Zhong had gained a lot more.

Over ten thousand Mutant Crayfishes and Mutant Crabs had been beaten to death on the ground, on top of that, there were over a 100 Mutant Black Fishes as well as the bodies of 6 Type 2 Mutant Beasts.

The corpses were enough to provide a 1000 tonnes of food for Yue Zhong, furthermore, this was not normal meat. Instead, it was Mutant Beast meat, which was an incredible gift that helped nourish the bodies of normal people who ate it, especially those who had been tormented by hunger over an extended period of time, it was the best supplement for those people to recover.

The survivors that Yue Zhong had arranged to be sent out of Xinglong Street were brought back.

All the women and ladies were put to work, deshelling the Mutant Beasts and collecting their meat. After all, such a huge load of meat could not be eaten in a day, a huge portion of it would be converted to dried food, or canned food, otherwise most of it would start to decompose in a few days.

"Commander Yue!! I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower!" Da Gouzi observed the ongoing work, and reported to Yue Zhong.

Although Yue Zhong had deployed all available hands, for 8,000 people to handle 1000 tonne of Mutant Beast meat, everyone had to handle over a 100 jin of meat. Out of the 8,000 survivors, 3,000 were kids, and the responsibilities were too much for them to handle.

Yue Zhong directly commanded, "Go notify Tai Yiyan. Get her to bring 10,000 survivors to help deal with the meat. Get those who handle the 6 Type 2 Mutant Beasts to send the meat directly to the processing plant."

Yue Zhong had spent 50 tonnes of food to buy a processing plant from Wen Baoguo, as well as another 50 tonnes to purchase generators and fuel, to support the manufacturing of processed meat.

The meat of the Type 2 Mutant Beasts were exceptional treats that were hard to come by, as long as the weak survivors were to eat a few jins, they could recover their health quickly. If the soldiers who fought at the front lines continuously managed to eat the processed meat, it would help their recovery in battle.

The moment Tai Yiyan received Yue Zhong's orders, she delegated and deployed 10,000 survivors to join in the handling. Everyone near the riverbank was working hard, they were in high spirits, as they received news that there would be a feast that night. The anticipation of the tasty seafood in their hands fueled their drive in handling the meat.
