[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Even Ji Qingwu and Zhuo Yatong, who were considered experts, were assigned to help cut up the hard shells of the Mutant Beasts. Yue Zhong even lent his Black-tooth Blade to Ji Qingwu to use.

The Level 4 Treasure Black-tooth Blade was incredibly sharp under the Blade Strengthening Skill of Ji Qingwu. Even the tough scales of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish that had withstood Yue Zhong's PF98 anti-tank rounds, were cleanly cut apart by Ji Qingwu, revealing the fresh fish flesh underneath.

Ulamog: say that 5 times fast. Fresh Fish Flesh…

The Type 2 Mutant Crayfish and Type 2 Mutant Crab had shells that were slightly tougher though. Even Ji Qingwu found it hard to cut apart their scales regardless of the combination of her skill and the Black-tooth Blade.

Zhuo Yatong however, had an idea. she wielded her mace that was over a hundred jin, lifting and swinging it downwards to shatter the shell into pieces. Doing this, she slowly broke them apart.

Under the joint efforts of over 18,000 people and by the time evening fell, the countless Mutant Beasts' carcasses near the river had been cleaned up. Only a huge mountain of bones from the Type 2 Mutant Black Fishes were left.

If it was just Yue Zhong alone, he would definitely have no way of settling the issue with the meat of the dead Mutant Beasts. However, what he could not accomplish on his own, 18,000 could easily accomplish it.

In the evening, the survivors under Yue Zhong's banner started cooking the seafood, every survivor of age received a jin of Mutant Black Fish meat, while the kids received half a jin of Mutant Black Fish meat.

The Black Fish meat was absolutely fresh, and even tastier than the meat of the Black Fish prior to the apocalypse. The survivors sat together and enjoyed the fish soup while eating the fish meat, and everyone had satiated expressions on their faces.

They were extremely satisfied with their lives currently. As long as they did their work honestly, not only were they able to eat their fill, they could enjoy meat as well. At the same time, the territory under Yue Zhong was the best governed amongst the rest of the county.

If there was something they had to say they were unhappy about, it would be that there were too many rules. The slightest infringement of a law could result in whipping, but the main point was that after being whipped, the person would be chased out of the camp. Seeing those survivors who fell back into hard times the moment they were forced out, all the survivors under Yue Zhong's care were secretly alert, and constantly reminded themselves never to flout any rule.

White Bones walked to the huge pile of bones, and activated its Bone Manipulation Ability to absorb the bones into its body.

"Your Special Summon: White Bones, has gained an enhancement of 15 points to Endurance."

Yue Zhong was sitting in his own quarters and when he heard the sweet sound of a system notification, he was not distracted in the slightest. Instead he popped the 6 blood essences from the Type 2 Mutant Beasts into his mouth and swallowed.

The moment the 6 blood essences entered Yue Zhong's abdomen, they transformed into a warmth that surged throughout him, nourishing and enhancing his body continuously.

With the help of blood essences, every pore of Yue Zhong's body started oozing out black dirty blood, and soon he was covered entirely in dark grime.

Ulamog: XianXia elements anyone?

After some time has passed, the effects of the 6 blood essences wore off, and Yue Zhong heard the familiar notification of his own enhancement: "Congratulations on gaining 40 Points in Vitality, and 10 Points in Endurance."

Due to his increased immunity to the essences, even after swallowing 6 blood essences he only gained 40 points in Vitality and 10 points in Endurance. The effects could not compare to the first time he consumed the first blood essence from the Type 2 Mutant Black-Scaled Boar.

Additionally, Yue Zhong had been consuming so many blood essence that even the Type 2 Blood Essences were starting to lose their potency.

Yue Zhong opened his eyes and could feel the tremendous vitality surging within himself. He knew he had grown stronger yet again.

"What a stench!" Yue Zhong sniffed the pungent grime on him and frowned in disgust. He immediately got up and went to take a cold shower, cleaning himself up.

After his bath, Yue Zhong came to the dining hall.Right now, the dining hall was filled with many beautiful ladies.

Along the long dinner table, on the left, sat Wen Peishan, Tai Yiyan, Cheng Peipei, Zhou Yanxue, while Ji Qingwu, Zhuo Yatong, Yao Yao and Tong Xiaoyun sat on the right.

"What absolute beauties!!" Both parties were evaluating the other, and their eyes could not help but widened in shock. The women on both sides were thoroughly awed by each other.

[TN: I laughed out loud at this.]

Only Yao Yao that loli was still dressed in her military garb, and was glancing around with impatience. She sat restlessly in her seat like a little monkey. No one dared to look at her.

In today's battle, the numerous Mutant Black Fishes that were felled by Yao Yao were above her in Enhancement Levels. Most importantly was that she was the top Agility expert within Yue Zhong's forces. In just terms of Agility, even Yue Zhong could not match Yao Yao. After all, he was a Spirit and Endurance Dual-attribute Evolver.

When Yue Zhong came to the main seat, he smiled at the ladies: "There's no need to wait for me. Go ahead and eat, don't stand on ceremony."

"I want to eat the claws of the crayfish!!!" Yao Yao immediately reached for the claws of one of the crayfish without reserve, and used her strength to crush the external shell, *CRUNCH* before digging into the sumptuous meat ravenously.

Yao Yao's somewhat child-like behaviour broke the awkward atmosphere and the ladies all started to help themselves to the food.

The dining table was truly ladened with delicacies. There was Mutant Crayfish and Mutant Crab as well as huge slices of Type 2 Mutant Black Fish meat. Also there was Type 2 Mutant Crayfish claw meat as well as Type 2 Mutant Crab claw meat. It was incredibly tasty and luxurious in this age. The women could not stop once they started, and enjoyed the food tremendously.

"Congratulations on gaining 1 point in Strength!"

Tai Yiyan was enjoying a few mouthfuls of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish meat, when the notification sound rang out in her mind, and her expression was full of joy, and she immediately disregarded her etiquettes and continued to consume her meal in huge bites. She was after all a normal person and not an Enhancer. Therefore the meat of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish was extremely beneficial to her, allowing her to gain a point in Strength.

"Boss Yue!! Someone is requesting an audience!"

Right as the people in the dining hall were enjoying themselves, Zhang He walked in and reported to Yue Zhong. He had already become a member of Yue Zhong's Youth Corps, and was extremely loyal to Yue Zhong. Loyal even to the point of idolization. He was in charge of relaying messages to and from Yue Zhong, including his orders.

"Who?" Yue Zhong frowned, and asked in a low voice.

Zhang He replied: "She said she's called Shen Xue!!"

Yue Zhong immediately recalled the extremely beautiful and elegant, yet cold to the point of indifferent lady.

"Let her in!" Yue Zhong thought for awhile, before replying softly. He did not have a favourable impression towards Shen Xue and it was likely the same for her. However, he guessed that she must have something to discuss with him.

Under Zhang He's guidance, Shen Xue walked in with a proud gait.

Shen Xue eyed the 8 absolute beauties in the dining hall, and her gaze towards Yue Zhong increased in contempt and disgust: "I have something important to discuss with you, here's not the place."

Yue Zhong brought Shen Xue into a meeting room and immediately said, "What do you need! Just say it!"

Shen Xue directly replied: "I heard that you have taken care of a few Type 2 Mutant Beasts. I want to use 1 tonne of gold to purchase 30 tonnes of Type 2 Mutant Beast meat."

In SY County, they had also hunted down a Type 2 Mutant Beast before, but it was at the expense of 2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, a tank, 3 Evolvers, 13 Enhancers. The top expert of SY County had also perished after being eaten by the Type 2 Mutant Beast.

However, the nourishing and beneficial properties of the meat from a Type 2 Mutant Beast were discovered by the top brass of SY County and it became their privilege alone. Only a few top officials could enjoy it.

This time, upon hearing that Yue Zhong had killed a few of these Type 2 Mutant Beasts, Shen Xue had rushed over at the first minute.

Yue Zhong coldly gazed at Shen Xue: "No way! On account of Commander Shen, I can gift you with 20 jin of Type 2 Mutant Beast meat. As for the gold, keep it for your own use!"

Gold could move people's heart, even in SY County, gold was still used as a form of currency, to exchange for food. However, to Yue Zhong, gold was basically trash, it could not be eaten, nor used, and is useless, unless it was given free to him, otherwise he would not even want it. Initially he had agreed to exchange the food for gold was a form of expediency and convenience, now that he had the sufficient power, he naturally would not lower himself.

Shen Xue glared at him coldly: "I knew you wouldn't be willing! Why not we do it like this, I have an important piece of intel to exchange. A top-secret one."

Yue Zhong continued without batting an eyelid: "What intel?"

Shen Xue responded in an extremely serious manner:

"There is a horde of zombies that number around 1,000,000 that seems to be aiming for SY County and are currently moving here. Based on their sustained movement speed, within 20 days they would be here to attack!"

"Is this for real?!" Yue Zhong had a huge change in expression, as he bolted up and asked.

Initially at Qing Yuan County, the horde of 100,000 had already given Yue Zhong a headache, and he had suffered major losses.

Now that he was well prepared and had an army as well as the firepower to boot, he was not as apprehensive. He really wasn't, but the figure this time was actually a million! That was a different story. It was 10 times larger than the previous time, if they really charged, it would be like an unstoppable ocean wave.

Shen Xue replied indifferently, "Definitely true, this was the result of drones that were sent out to collect info. Furthermore, we lost a total of 10 drones because of this."

Amongst the skies, while there were no zombies, there were Mutant Birds, and the drones that were sent out by the SY County's Army would definitely come across some Mutant Birds, and a number of them were destroyed.

Shen Xue looked at Yue Zhong and asked, "Is this piece of information worth 30 tonnes of Mutant Beast Meat?"

Yue Zhong replied heavily, "Yes!"

With this, Yue Zhong could go about preparing and preempting disaster. This way he didn't have to wait till the last moment and panic.

Chapter 0283 – Conditions for Deployment

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, Johnyxn

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong asked somewhat curiously, "What are the military's plans?"

A horde of over a million zombies, this was on a different scale compared to 100,000. The sheer number made Yue Zhong's scalp go numb.

The zombies had an advantage over Mutant Beasts, and that was that they did not know death. Add in the disease and infection they carried with them, this could cause resisting humans to feel desolate.

Many of the survivors dared to take up arms against the Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes, yet they would not have the same courage to face the zombies.

Shen Xue spoke with extreme confidence: "We will initiate a frontal assault, annihilating them completely."

At the initial phase of the onset of the apocalypse, the army had defeated the 700,000 zombies in SY County easily. To them, the million-zombie horde was just an issue that required a matter of time.

Offence was the best defence, and since the army had a huge amount of modern weaponry. These included the Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Assault Helicopters and even tanks. They naturally would not fear the million-strong horde.

Yue Zhong pondered awhile, before asking the crucial question: "Do you have enough ammunition?"

A modern army that was adequately equipped with logistics and supply would naturally not be afraid of a million-strong horde. However, the logistics issue was currently pressing on SY County. After the SY army had regained control over SY County, and killed off the 700,000 strong horde, its ammunition usage was pretty high.

Normally speaking, for an expert like Yue Zhong, it would take a bullet to kill a zombie. However, not everyone were sharpshooters like him.

For the inexperienced soldiers, even a few rounds might not be enough to kill a zombie. As for the veterans, they would require a few shots to take out zombies at a distance as well.

After wiping out the zombies in SY County, Yue Zhong estimated that the ammunition left should number around 2 million rounds.

In fact, when the SY Military were clearing SY County, they had expended over 2 million rounds, at the same time, they even used heavy rounds on the horde then, which allowed them to regain control over SY County.

However, this led to the huge expenditure of ammunition, and was precisely the reason why Shen Hongyang and the other military heads were not in favour of fighting against Yue Zhong.

If the 2 sides really fought it out, the ammunition would really be depleted quickly. Without ammunition, in a world where danger was everywhere, they would lose their stronghold.

Shen Xue gazed at Yue Zhong icily: "Our ammunition is sufficient, there's no need for your concern."

"That's good to hear then!" Yue Zhong smiled lightly, and did not press further.

After a few minutes of silence, Shen Xue stared at Yue Zhong and said, "Yue Zhong, this battle is extremely important to us. My father Shen Hongyang hopes that you can lead your troops and join us in battle, killing the horde as they come."

Yue Zhong coldly asked: "If I provide reinforcement, what good is in it for me?"

Bringing his own troops to assist SY County in facing the zombies? Not only will it consume a huge amount of ammunition, there would be casualties on Yue Zhong's side. If there were no benefits, he would definitely not lend a hand.

Yue Zhong's aim was the huge military plants in Long Hai County. Even if he brought people to wipe out the horde of million zombies, he wouldn't gain any territory, it would just be a waste of his military strength.

Shen Xue frowned, and coldly lectured: "Yue Zhong, how can you always only think about your self-interest? Can't you just see the bigger picture? This is an issue concerning the lives and deaths of over a few hundred thousand people here in SY County, you should forsake any personal interest, and send your troops as reinforcement, only then can you be considered a hero. If you are willing to send people to help save the county, over a few hundred thousand people would be thankful."

Yue Zhong eyed the slightly agitated Shen Xue and icily replied: "I'm sorry! I'm not some hero, nor am I looking to become one that your county is looking for. I am just a normal commander. I need to think for my people and subordinates. Without enough benefits, I would definitely not send my troops to their certain death."

Yue Zhong continued on with a hint of contempt towards Shen Xue: "Furthermore! Miss Shen Xue, if your father was such a big hero, why isn't he doing anything about Su Tianyang or Peng Ji those criminals of SY County?"

Su Tianyang and Peng Ji were not good things. However, due to the fact they had powerful fathers, even after all the mistakes and catastrophes they caused, they were only grounded. Yue Zhong was not willing to stick his neck out for this type of SY County.

Shen Xue grew red in the face upon hearing Yue Zhong's tone and retorted in a loud voice: "What do you understand?! My dad has to think of the bigger picture, that was why he chose not to fall out with them. He himself does not condone the actions of Su Tianyang nor Peng Ji."

Yue Zhong looked at Shen Xue's flushed face as a result of his provocation and laughed: "Forget it! There's no point in arguing with you! I just want to know, if I send my troops out, what is in it for me! Otherwise, please head back! Otherwise, I am not interested in partaking in this war alongside you guys."

Shen Xue gritted her teeth, as she glared at this man in front of her who had managed to become the most hated person in her life. He made her feel that she just wanted to tear him apart. However, she calmed herself down and asked, "Don't you like beautiful women? We will gift to you 20 beautiful women. This should be enough no?"

Yue Zhong was speechless for a moment, because of that judgement from Da Gouzi, his own reputation had become like this. He quickly shook his head and said: "No! It's not enough!"

Shen Xue's tone became incredibly cold as she replied: "We'll add the 10,000 people you have hired under Tai Yiyan, they will be free to leave SY County. This should be enough."

The workers that Tai Yiyan had recruited were all working for Yue Zhong, and their hearts had long since favoured him, SY County thus decided to let them join him to get him to deploy his troops. This way, Yue Zhong had in fact gained over 20,000 people from SY County.

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, and he pushed his luck: "Add on another 5,000 men, I will deploy my soldiers!!"

Shen Xue immediately rejected flatly: "Impossible! Letting you take those 10,000 survivors from Tai Yiyan is our bottom line. If you still aren't willing to, then forget it."

Yue Zhong pondered for a while longer, before he replied: "Fine!! I promise you! When the time comes, I will send 3 battalions to take part in the action. However, let me make this clear, my troops will only listen to my commands, our co-operation will not have any mutual interference."

Shen Xue did not press for the issue of command and immediately answered, "Good!"

After concluding her negotiations with Yue Zhong, Shen Xue immediately left the place, she wasn't willing to stay a moment longer by his side.

Shen Xue had just left, when Yue Zhong also set off towards his villa, and beckoned Greenie over. He then proceed to get on top of its back and they flew off towards SY County. He wanted to confirm the intel that Shen Xue had brought.

Flying through the skies was not that romantic as people thought, after Greenie had evolved into a Type 2 Beasts, its flight speed was as fast as the wind speed during a hurricane. Yue Zhong was sitting on its back, and could feel the piercing winds, as they brushed past him, causing all sorts of discomfort. If it was any other normal person, they would definitely not be able to take the journey.

In mid-air, there were a number of Mutant Birds that were circling the skies, but they could feel the oppressive aura from the Type 2 Mutant Bird Greenie, and they all avoided it, not daring to be within a 100m radius of Greenie.

Under Greenie's lead, Yue Zhong came to the skies above SY County. As his eyesight was better in the night than the day, he could clearly see the surrounding horde of zombies surrounding SY County, like a sea that had no end. Every direction he looked, there were zombies.

Yue Zhong continued his exploration atop Greenie, and discovered that the horde stretched for 10 miles, furthermore, there were large groups of zombies that came from elsewhere and we're joining the horde!

Yue Zhong observed the sea of zombies, and he furrowed his eyebrows while thinking nervously: "This time, SY County will be hard to defend!!"

Based on a rough estimation, Yue Zhong found that the situation was more serious than Shen Xue had estimated, the number was actually way above 1,200,000.

The entire population of SY county prior to the apocalypse numbered 7,000,000, and within the downtown area, the 700,000 that had turned into zombies were decimated by the military. Throughout the region, there were still a total of over 6million zombies roaming. The current 1.2 million encroaching the surroundings of the downtown was but only one-fifth of the entire number.

[TN: Yes it's a little confusing. Basically think of SY County like a continent, with over 7 million people. The army had cleared the downtown area and claimed it for their own after defeating 700,000 zombies, 10% of the entire population. They started calling themselves SY County, even though it's a small part. There are still over 6m zombies around the entire County not yet explored, and currently 1.2m of them has gathered near the downtown area.]

However, to deal with just these 1.2 million zombies would be tricky. It must be clear that within SY County, there was only a regiment of 6,000 soldiers, and that regiment's firepower had been greatly reduced, while the new recruits were aplenty. Under these conditions, wanting to face off an enemy with over a 100 times their numbers, it was going to be incredibly difficult.

After he finished his investigations and confirmed the seriousness of the situation, Yue Zhong swiftly made his way back to his villa and called for a meeting to delegate duties amongst his commanders.

The next day, Yue Zhong arranged for the 8,000 survivors under him to be moved to Ning Guang County.

Post-apocalypse, fuel was extremely valuable. The journey for the 8,000 survivors was not aided by any vehicles, therefore every single one of them had to make the journey on their own feet to Ning Guang County over a 100 li (50km) away. Only the warriors of the 8th Battalion and the Special Forces were escorting them on armored vehicles, within the survivor group, they were mostly women and children. Originally, without the nourishment of the Mutant Beast meat, just relying on their weak constitution and health, the journey would definitely take toll on at least over a hundred people. However, with the supplementary properties of the Mutant Beast meat, their health and vitality were recovered, and no one showed signs of dropping out of the journey.

Almost all the survivors harbored high hopes, and looked forward to a new life in a new place. Yue Zhong had given them a life that had steady meals, a decent living and these led them to anticipate a better future.

As for the 10,000 survivors that had been transferred from Tai Yiyan to his hands, he arranged for them to all work in the canned meat processing factory, pushing for the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat to be packed. At the same time, those meats from the Mutant Black Fish, Crayfish and Crabs were all processed into dry meat.

To bolster the strength of these 10,000 survivors for the migration journey to come, Yue Zhong specially distributed Type 2 Mutant Beast meat through Tai Yiyan to these survivors. Only the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat could quickly replenish and nourish their health, while the ordinary Mutant Beast meat might be delicacies hard to come by, compared to the more precious Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, the effects were not as beneficial.

When those 10,000 survivors ate the distributed Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, every single one of them regained their vitality swiftly, and became extremely energized, and their work became even faster.

Out of the 10,000 survivors, Yue Zhong then selected another 2,000 robust males, and formed a new preliminary group.

Chen Shitou was transfered to act as the chief instructor over this preliminary group, and started to train and instruct them. They were preparations made by Yue Zhong to replenish the ranks of the various teams as new recruits.

The preliminary team got to eat meat and rice everyday, and the food consisted of the meat from Mutant Black Fish as well as the Type 2 variant, causing the rest who were not selected to be envious. They wished to be selected as well, but Yue Zhong had closed off the selection after 2,000.

Furthermore, the back end factories all required manpower, to manufacture all sorts of weapons against the zombies, turning the hide and skin from the Mutant Beasts into protective garments, as well as repacking ammo. All these support jobs required manpower. Without sufficient people, the fighting forces would not have the equipment and supplies.

On the other side, as per Yue Zhong's commands, Liu Erhei, Xiong Zheng, Zhang Niujiang and Guo Quan brought 4 battalions to SY County. Guo Quan had become the first in command in Ning Guang County's First Battalion after Yue Zhong, and was in charge of Ning Guang County's First Battalion when Yue Zhong was not around.

These 4 battalions consisted of numerous elite veterans from Qing Yuan County that served as the backbone, and after countless battles against zombies, they had all grown together. They were no longer some motley crew that would fall apart at the first sign of trouble.

Yue Zhong's elite soldiers from Qing Yuan County within the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalion remained at Qing Yuan County, maintaining their defence and constant assault towards Long Hai County, wiping out the zombies towards the direction of Long Hai County. They searched for resources, and rescued any survivors, expanding their power slowly.

The moment all 4 battalions of Yue Zhong arrived, the entire SY County was shocked. This time when Yue Zhong entered the city with grandeur, everyone could see the amount of preparation and equipment on each and every soldier of the battalions. On top of that, there were various advanced weaponry and machinery escorting the troops, including the 14.5mm Double Mounted machine guns, Red Arrows, Type 95 Anti-Air Missile vehicles, 40 self-propelled rocket launchers. They were not lacking in any sense. SY County's own army could not even compare with it.

When SY County had re-established themselves after the onset of the apocalypse, they only had 2 regiments left. These were the 2nd line of attack, and weren't the elite soldiers, they didn't even have tanks prior. The tanks and assault helicopters they obtained were borrowed for the purpose of the exercise. As for Yue Zhong, he had opened up a real Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and thus his equipment and weaponry was much more advanced.

Chapter 0284 – Deployment

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, Johnyxn [Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Upon seeing the equipment and strength of Yue Zhong's troops, everyone in SY County celebrated the fact that they had not gone head to head with Yue Zhong. Based on his weapons and machinery, if it had really come to a clash? Even if they won against Yue Zhong, they would have suffered greatly.

While equipment was not the deciding factor of the success of a battle, it was one of the strongest factors. If 2 armies of similar size were to clash and one side was using rifles against the other with tanks, it was next to impossible.

"Commander Yue, according to our agreement, please send your troops to assist with the clearing of zombies." When Yue Zhong arrived, the army had sent out an envoy to remind Yue Zhong.

"I know! Go tell Commander Shen that I'm about to set off!!" Yue Zhong directly replied.

After the fierce battle between Su Dongming and Yue Zhong, the tanks and assault helicopters that were destroyed by Yue Zhong, as well as the numerous elite soldiers that were annihilated, Su Dongming's once tyrannical military strength was greatly diminished. It had fell to the lowest position of the 5 major heads, and was now only the Vice Division Commander. The Division Commander post went to the strongest now which was Shen Hongyang.

Of course, the other 3 powers only had their smaller corps, but were conferred the vice Division Commander Posts as well.

After sending the envoy on his way, Yue Zhong went to find Guo Quan: "Guo Quan!! This place here is our path of retreat. If this place comes under attack, the brothers of the 4 battalions will all be in peril. This time, I'm bringing the troops to clean up the horde, you have to protect this place! Are there any questions?"

[TN: Guo Quan is the leader of the small recon group that had be on watch when Ning Guang County tried to attack Yue Zhong previously. He also gained alot of merit for holding the fort when Shen Xue attacked.]

This time, Yue Zhong only intended to bring 4 battalions to fight at the front line, the best of Ning Guang County was kept at SY County, to prevent any potential trouble.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, anything could happen. Yue Zhong did not wish to see while he was fighting in the frontline, his path of retreat would be suddenly cut off by his "allies".

Guo Quan stared at Yue Zhong, and his face displayed a resolute expression as he replied: "No problem!! Commander Yue, even if I have to risk my life, I will definitely defend this place!"

Guo Quan had went through countless battles, and grown from a normal survivor to become the Vice-Commander of the First Battalion of Ning Guang County. He was an exceptional military personnel. War was the best form of tempering, and it had caused Guo Quan to grow into a good commander in just the short span of 2 months.

Yue Zhong left Guo Quan, while bringing Ning Guang County's 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalion, SY's 8th Battalion, and his Special Forces. He left with a total of 5 battalions and joined the military as they made their way towards the zombie horde that was coming.

SY County's military had also mobilized a total of 5,000 people, marching towards the direction of SY County.

Due to the preciousness of fuel, other than the self-propelled rocket launchers, and the infantry fighting vehicles, as well as the various armored vehicles, the rest of the fighters had to use their feet to march on.

SY's army had been attacking their way towards SY County, and a large number of the zombies along the way had been killed by them. Yue Zhong's forces thus had a relatively relaxed time.

After 2 days, Yue Zhong's forces had come to a clearing that was about 10 kilometresa away from SY County.

The entire 8,000-strong army was segregated into 6 parts, the mutual trust between each party was not strong. Especially since the relationship between Yue Zhong and Su Dongming was like water and fire. The 8,000 strong army split into 6 different paths as they went on to clash with the zombies.

While both Yue Zhong and the military of SY were on guard against one another, they were also using one another. The zombies were the enemies of humanity, not only were they SY's problem, they were Yue Zhong's problem as well. The moment SY County fell to these zombies, they would target Yue Zhong next.

Yue Zhong led his troops and they came to a stop at Tiger's Mouth Gorge.

Tiger's Mouth Gorge was a channel that led to SY County, it had 2 hills that were a few tens of metres high on either side. The space of the valley in between only allowed for a maximum of 2 huge tracks to pass through. It was easy to defend and tough to attack, and was the perfect place to set up defence.

The moment they arrived at Tiger's Mouth Gorge, Yue Zhong commanded the 1st and 2nd Battalion to commence work on some construction. A few steel barbed wires were laid out, while some steel strips, wooden fences, barricades and a huge pit soon appeared in the gorge itself.

The 2 small hills on either side were then occupied by some of Yue Zhong's troops, in case the zombies made use of them to break past this line of defence.

After bringing the troops to Tiger's Mouth Den, he handed over command to Xu Zhengang. Xu Zhengang was an outstanding officer, and had experienced many battles against both zombies and Mutant Beasts. Commanding a battle of defence was not an issue.

Yue Zhong himself went to the command centre, the 5 heads of the military were currently within giving commands as well.

There were many drones activated in the skies, with positions as the commanders of the military, the heads only had to give out orders from within the safe confinements of the command centre, while the battle would be fought by the subordinates.

Yue Zhong also obtained a few command vehicles and drones, however, he did not have the technical know-how to train up UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) personnel, therefore, he could only watch as the equipment collected dust within the armory.

Su Dongming saw Yue Zhong walking over, as he coldly snorted, before turning his head and not looking in his direction.

Yue Zhong possessed a military might that was way stronger than Su Dongming, and thus he could only resort to such petty means to display his unhappiness. As for picking a fight with Yue Zhong, Su Dongming was not that stupid.

Shen Hongyang saw Yue Zhong entering and laughed: "Yue Zhong, you're here! Are your preparations done?"

This time, Yue Zhong had deployed more men than Shen Hongyang had expected, and thus he had a more favourable impression of him.

Yue Zhong laughed, "My side's done! I can deploy them anytime!"

Shen Hongyang casted a meaningful look to Yue Zhong, "Let's set off then!"

"Begin the assault!"

The 6 heads gave the command within the command centre, and their subordinates set off and began their ferocious assault on the zombie horde.

Various self-propelled rocket launchers spat out fire in a frenzy, as the rockets landed in the densely packed horde of zombies, blasting several patches of zombies into smithereens.

Regardless of the strong L1, or L2 which had high defence, or even the speedy S2s, any zombie that got caught in the blast zone of the rocket, would immediately be rendered into pieces.

After a round of fearsome blasting, the soldiers of the military proceeded forward with the armored vehicles as cover, and started their assault. With the barrage of the bullets covering the battlefield, huge patches of zombies would fall like wheat that was reaped.

The zombies that had been caught by surprised seemed to awaken from their stupor, as they quickly reacted, and under the command of the Z-Type, the zombies made for the soldiers like a huge wave.

The moment the horde moved, it was unstoppable, and the soldiers from the military experienced for themselves firsthand the true fear of being charged by zombies. Initially when they had launched their assault, the zombies were not organized, and were easily disposed of, but this time, it was very different. One can imagine how the waves of assault that came from an organized charge of over a million zombies was unstoppable.

Behind the army, the numerous self-propelled rocket launchers and Type 40 rocket launchers fired their missiles in a frenzy into the horde, blasting more patches of zombies to oblivion.

Under the barrage of heavy fire, the densely packed zombie horde had lost over 30,000 of their numbers. If it was a human army that had lost 30,000 of their comrades, the morale would have been lost. However, these zombies knew no fear nor death, and continued their relentless assault towards the soldiers and the weaponry.

The pockets of dead flattened zombies were quickly filled up by other zombies.

The soldiers continued their relentless firing, and the fearsome attack rained down on the zombies, killing many of them.

Those zombies which were rushing towards them in a frenzy would find themselves dead before they even managed to get too close.

However, the waves making up a million zombies were more terrifying than facing a thousand or even ten thousand zombies. It was as though there was no end to the nightmare.

[Dedition: No shit…]

The relentless barrage of bullets did not seem to stop, and under those firing conditions, many of the heavy and light machine guns, as well as rifles had heated up by the continuous firing.

The military soldiers immediately swapped out their guns and barrels, and during the switch, the firepower was reduced by a lot.

Just as the soldiers from the army paused in their attacks, the horde suddenly split open, and over a hundred H1s suddenly appear, as they opened their mouths and shot numerous fireballs at the armored vehicles.

Many of the vehicles were instantly destroyed at the first moment of that fireball attack, as they exploded, it engulfed and killed the nearby soldiers.

The moment the first attack was successful, the countless S2s hiding within the horde immediately shot outwards with speeds like howling winds towards the soldiers.

The speed of the S2s were incredibly fast, crossing a distance of over a 100m in only 7 seconds. Although many of the soldiers had finished reloading, quite a number of S2s had already reached the soldiers, and used their claws to slash at the soldiers, killing lots of them.

Facing the sudden attack of the S2s, the soldiers of the military immediately lost their fighting spirit, and started to escape towards the back.

"Covering fire!! Covering fire!!"

Under the orders of the command centre, the self-propelled rocket launchers, mortars, multi-barreled missiles all fired at will into the horde of zombies. Large patches of the horde were instantly pulverized and swallowed in flames, burnt into crisps.

Those huge H1s numbering in the hundreds were also turned into ash.

The various Enhancers within the army also made their moves and started slaughtering the S2s. Everyone must fight if they want to survive.

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

When the various Enhancers of the army made their move, those soldiers under attack were saved. However, while the 5 battalions of the Army had crushed over 60,000 zombies (the bulk of it through the rockets), it had cost them over 300 people who were clawed, leaving them either dead or severely injured. Those who were slashed by the S2s were definitely dead. Adding the 20 armored vehicles that had been destroyed by the H1s, their losses were already huge.

Yue Zhong's side was extremely cautious, he had commanded his men to make use of the mortars and blast the zombies from afar, making use of the opportunity to train up the mortar team.

The mortar team was a specialized unit in some sense, and Yue Zhong's troops were considered professionals, while those from the army were considered to be semi-proficient. This time, Yue Zhong had brought his troops with the aim to shape them up as well. Regardless of how well-trained and well-equipped a unit might be, they could not be considered experienced or elite, until they were forged through war.

Other than the mortar team, Yue Zhong assigned his elite snipers to engage in picking off the zombies from afar. None of the other units were deployed, as he knew without tanks, facing the zombies in an open area was tantamount to suicide.

The army having suffered such heavy losses from the get go was due to their separate command of the 5 battalions. There was no organization, furthermore they had underestimated the threat of the horde.

The horde continued their pursuit of the soldiers, chasing towards their posts.

The artillery of the army was constantly firing without stopping, each time their attacks landed, it would pulverize a huge number of zombies. The soldiers on the battlefield also took turns to fire, and they finally managed to stop the advance of the horde.

After maintaining 15 minutes of constant firing, the artillery all started to overheat and turn red, they could only wait it out and let them cool down. The non-stop firing of the artillery was terrifying, and it had destroyed over a hundred thousand zombies. However, the sea of zombies still seemed endless, as though there was no reduction in their numbers, and it gave birth to a sense of helplessness within the soldiers' heart.

Right at this time, the zombies stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and continued their advance towards the soldiers. Seeing the zombies that were seemingly endless, even many of the veterans of the military had fear in their eyes.

It was simply too terrifying, the sea of zombies was too terrifying. Within a short span of 2 hours, the military had used loads of heavy artillery, and countless ammo to kill over 180,000 zombies. However, right in front of their eyes, the sea of zombies seemed endless. Furthermore, as they had to fire the artillery continuously, the weapons would heat up easily and during the downtimes, they could not support the soldiers. This battle had become hard to fight.

The military soldiers maintained their stand at their various stations, making use of their rifles, guns, grenade launchers and any other weapons they could get their hands on to strike out savagely. The moment their weapons overheated, their comrades would provide assistance to swap out the guns. At the same time, grenades rained from the skies onto the zombies, blasting numerous zombies into pieces.

The battle was increasingly intense, but without the support of the heavy artillery, the zombies were surging forward, with the deaths of their comrades not fazing them in the slightest. They continued to charge forward, engaging in an all out slaughter with the soldiers.

Under the rush of the sea of zombies, the various sites that were not reinforced or aided by any form of construction were instantly swallowed by the horde. Other than the few experts that managed to extract themselves from the danger, most of the soldiers died, or became part of the ranks of the zombie horde.

A few of the experts were entangled with a few of the S2s, and one of them died after killing a few S2s, before being pounced on immediately and devoured.

Seeing the different positions facing crisis and being decimated one by one, the 5 heads within the command centre had ugly expressions.

"Send out the tanks!!"

Following Shen Hongyang's orders, 10 tanks immediately set off and joined the fray. On top of that, they were joined by 20 IFVs and 1 battalion of soldiers.

The moment the tanks entered the battlefield, they were like tigers amongst sheep, directly obliterating everything in their paths. They flattened the zombies into meat paste, and used their cannons to unleash fearsome balls of fury unto the zombies, incinerating them. At the same time, their mounted machine guns fired heavy round after round into the horde, killing off numerous zombies.

The 20 IFVs following behind were also utilizing their ZPT90 and firing wildly, lobbing grenades into the groups of zombies, blasting them out of the way and turning any zombies who blocked their paths into spraying waves of meat paste.

The battalion of soldiers followed the fleet of armored vehicles, picking off those zombies that did not die or slipped the net.

All of a sudden, the horde parted, and 300 L2s with their immense strength appeared, as they rushed towards the 10 tanks in a frenzy.

One of the L2s managed to crash into a tank viciously, causing the entire tank to shudder. By the next moment, the tank had knocked the L2 down, and was crushed mercilessly into meat paste.

The remaining L2s that had charged over faced the same fate, a single fist of theirs could punch a huge hole in those small armored jeeps, but against these thick armored tanks they did not possess too much of a threat.

The 300 L2s that had charged forwards were either knocked down and crushed beneath the tanks, or were directly blasted by the heavy rounds of the Type 69 Tanks. These fearsome L2s that had evolved and become stronger, were absolutely nothing in front of the kings of the battlefield.

The 300 L2s had just been annihilated by the fleet of tanks, when 400 S2s emerged from the group of zombies, after paying a painful price, they managed to jump onto the Type 69 Tanks, and were currently using their sharp claws to assault the weaponry. One of the mounted machine guns was immediately destroyed by the S2s, however they could not break past the tortoise-like armor surround the tanks.

The battalion of soldiers using the tanks as cover were currently firing wildly at those S2s, killing those zombies as they were crawling on top of the tanks.

The 20 IFVs behind the tanks were also making use of their Type 25 ZPT90 to fire crazily, killing off many S2s.

In the midst of the horde, some patches started squirming before 200 H1s appeared at about 200m away from the tanks.

The moment those 200 H1s appeared, the 20 IFVs started firing at them, causing tens of them to directly explode.

The remaining H1s opened their huge mouths, as fireballs landed on the 10 tanks. It was obvious that the Z-Types within the horde has determined the tanks to be the most dangerous weapons.

Fireballs landed on the 10 tanks one after another, before exploding into huge gouts of flame.

The flames had not yet scattered, when the 10 tanks burst out from the fiery inferno, and charged towards the direction of the 200 H1s, firing their weapons, and a huge explosion occurred, directly blasting most of them into pieces. The battalion of foot soldiers were also firing their guns, riddling the remaining H1s full of holes.

Yue Zhong looked on as the tanks exhibited their prowess and advanced forward without a care for its surroundings nor being hindered by anything, and he could not help but sigh in his heart: "As expected, the tank is the king of the battlefield. If I had 100 tanks, even a million zombies would not be able to amount to much."

The 5 military heads looked on as the 10 tanks proceeded to crush everything in their path, seemingly invincible, and their eyes lit up in delight.

However, their joy was cut short. While the tanks were indeed effective against the zombies, the number of zombies was simply overwhelming.

After the tanks had rolled over and crushed god knows how many zombies, causing them to become meat chunks. After so much killing the total number seemed to decrease only by a little, and their positions were soon filled by others.

Furthermore, the zombies were still advancing in their assault on the soldiers of the military, the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs could only become a fleet that helped save some of the soldiers, travelling everywhere and crushing any zombies that came in their path.

With the assistance of the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs, the soldiers of the army managed to catch a moment of breath, and got rid of those zombies who were filling in the empty spaces.

After another 10 minutes, the artillery of the army had finally cooled down, and the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs made their way back to rest the equipment as well. Earlier, under the attacks of the H1s, one of the tanks suffered a damaged launcher, and had to change the barrel.

Similarly, a few of the mounted machine guns had been damaged by S2s, and required some swapping out there as well. The ammunition and fuel that were expended had to be refilled too.

The artillery of the military started their relentless firing again, shooting rockets into the horde, directly exploding huge patches of zombies into ash and cinders. With the support of the heavy artillery, the soldiers were in a better shape.

On the other side, Xu Zhengang had gotten his snipers to lure the zombies over. The moment they were in range, the soldiers immediately retreated back to the traps and constructions set up in Tiger's Mouth Gorge.

The densely pack horde soon advanced towards the Tiger's Mouth Gorge.

The light machine guns that Xu Zhengang had ordered to be mounted on both sides of the small hills started firing, as the barrage of bullets cause the nearby zombies to be shot full of holes.

At the same time, Xu Zhengang activated the command to fire the artillery, as round after round of rockets landed in the midst of the zombies, blasting them into pieces. Under those conditions, Yue Zhong's artillery team also grew quickly.

As the valley of Tiger's Mouth Gorge was extremely narrow, combined with the support of Yue Zhong's artillery team, the defence was relatively easy. A huge number of the zombies that went through the gorge would be immediately killed off, or blasted into ashes.

Xu Zhengang observed the battle for a while, before ceasing fire immediately, and deployed Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion forward with their Tang Replica Swords, as they began their close combat fight against the zombies at Tiger's Mouth Gorge.

Chapter 0286 – Uphill Struggle!

Translated by: Kun

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The soldiers of Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion were all wearing the hide of the Mutant Black-scaled Boar as armor, gloves, and other bits of body armor. Just like the Black-scaled Boar, these protective coverings were thick and resilient. The strong scales could block the attacks of any ordinary zombies.

With the protection of the Mutant Black Boar hide, the soldiers of Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion were like winged tigers when facing the ordinary zombies. Every swing of their Tang Replica Swords cut through the zombies like they were chopping vegetables. With such non stop slaughter the soldiers continuously received enhancement.

The experts of the Special Combat Forces were still relying on sniper rifles as well as their abilities to pick off the evolved zombies. The sound of a clacking semi-automatic bolt was inevitably followed by Zombie heads exploding.

Under the cover of the heavy artillery, the soldiers of Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion courageously charged forward, massacring the zombies with wild chops of their Tang blades as blood flew everywhere.

Yue Zhong's forces were extremely proficient in melee combat, this was a requisite bit of training. When being whipped into shape, every single battalion had gone through close quarter combat with zombies.

Of course, equipment was important to morale. The protection of the Mutant Black Scaled Boar's hide greatly reduced the chances of being infected, therefore they were fearless as they charged into the horde. The slow reaction speeds of the ordinary zombies were simply no match for these soldiers.

As there was a limit to the cover and support of the artillery, and after firing continuously for some time, Xu Zhengang had to let the artillery cool down or risk damaging it. In response to this unavoidable fact, he ordered for the soldiers to fall back.

The sea of zombies continued advancing towards Tiger's Mouth Gorge regardless of the bullets and shelling, they knew no fear. At this time, the earlier preparations at the gorge were set in motion. Right in front of the gorge, there were numerous sharp steel spikes aimed outwards like a barbed fence.

When the zombies knocked onto the spikes, they would be pierced through by them. Add on to the mindless advance from the other zombies behind, and the zombies in the front found themselves properly impaled by those spikes. Very soon, there were numerous spikes full of mostly squirming zombies.

The zombies continued squeezing forward, causing the steel spikes to be continuously stuck with zombies, blocking off the route for the zombies behind.

After losing more than a few hundred basic zombies, the hundreds of remaining L2 charged out with the horde in attack! As these huge freaks were obvious within the crowd due to their size, the 12.7mm heavy machine guns started firing.

Due to the well planned sweeping fire from the heavy machine gun, those armored L2s were also incapacitated giving more breathing room. Tong Xiaoyun had been hiding behind cover and at the right moment took the opportunity to thrust the Dark Magic Blade and pierce one of the L2 in its head, before twisting it like a blender and killing it.

Tong Xiaoyun's telekinesis ability could exhibit its prowess under these conditions like a fish in water! Those L2s that tried to get back up from the machine-gun fire knocking them down? They were systematically picked off by her and the Dark Magic Blade.

Flame King Gu was also an old hand at these situations one should know. His attacks were multiple conjured fireballs and he exploded them on those L2s' heads, causing skull shrapnel and flaming, fleshy pulp to fly as they were blasted into pieces.

After he had joined Yue Zhong back in Qing Yuan County, he had taken part in many other battles against zombies and had reached to an enhancement level of 35. His Flame Control Skill had been enhanced three times, and the fireballs he conjured were no longer small or faded ones but instead were voluminous blazing spheres!

Bai He had an extremely icy gaze as he held his sniper rifle, and picked off the L2s one by one. The L2s kept dying, as their heads exploded gloriously under his attacks.

The valley was too narrow, and the result was the horde could not force their way through. Xu Zhengang ordered the soldiers of the 4th Battalion to lock the place down. With the assistance of the Special Combat Forces they slaughtered a large number of zombies, while their own casualties were almost zero.

The intense battle continued all the way until evening, and no one had the luxury of time to rest. The zombies were constantly rushing to their deaths, and the soldiers from the army had to maintain their staunch defences.

Due to the overall lack of rest and constant firing, many soldiers' shoulders were starting to swell from the repeated recoil of their guns. The majority of the guns barrels had to be changed a few times as well. The intensity of the battle was way out of the 5 heads' expectations.

Even Yue Zhong's force who were guarding Tiger's Mouth Gorge, were feeling the fatigue. Xu Zhengang had rotated in the 8th Battalion to take over the 2nd Battalion, which had been fighting nonstop for the entire day.

Out of the 10 tanks and 20 IFVs which formed the steel fleet that was constantly dispatched into the battlefield, 4 of the IFVs had been destroyed by H1s which were hiddenly firing amongst the horde.

On this first day of intense fighting, with the assistance of the heavy artillery, the military and Yue Zhong had jointly massacred over 400,000 zombies. However, the cost was the gruesome death of 482 of their soldiers. Furthermore, the important and highly effective artillery had fired over half of their available ammunition.

Without the artillery, the military and Yue Zhong would definitely not be able to obtain such a promising result. Even if it were 400,000 pigs given to be slaughtered, the 6,000 people had chopped and slashed to the point of exhaustion.

The self-propelled rocket launchers could fire rockets into the midst of the horde, causing an area of effect within a radius of 18m, violently exploding and incinerating all zombies caught in its blast zone. Additionally, the shrapnel was incredibly effective at taking down any remaining zombies as well.

Each rocket could decimate a few hundred zombies. With the support of the rockets, Yue Zhong and the military had the means to wipe out over 400,000 zombies and had tenaciously defended their positions.

However, even after killing almost half a million zombies, the sea of zombies seemed as dense as ever, and one still could not see the end.

Inside the command centre, the 5 military heads and Yue Zhong were having a review.

Su Dongming suggested in a loud voice: "Retreat!! We should quickly retreat, before deploying small teams to snipe them at various places they advance to. The majority of the army should head back, regroup and prepare defences, before engaging them!"

Qian Weimin frowned and spoke softly, "No. The moment we retreat, how will we deal with those S1s? Our soldiers cannot outrun the S-Types!"

Amongst the million-strong horde, the ordinary zombies numbered the most, but the L1s and S1 type also numbered in the 10s of thousands. While the soldiers' speed outstripped the L1s, they could not compare to the S1s.

If they were to retreat, and the S1s formed a unit to chase up, those soldiers who could only rely on their legs would definitely die miserable, bloody deaths.

Luo Tianyi took a deep puff of his cigar, as here released a smoke circle and frowned. After some thought he spoke. "But if we were to continue fighting, who knows when the battle will end. Our troops may die first!"

The 5 heads of the military and Yue Zhong had seen the terror of a million-strong horde today. Even with the support of the artillery and the assault of the tanks, it was an incredibly tough battle. There was the constant danger of the frontline collapsing, morale was incredibly low, and it was only under the condition of the military sending their 7 assault helicopters to join the fray that they managed to hold the fort.

Although they had killed over 400,000 zombies, every single soldier was exhausted. If this continued on, they would not be able to hold for more than 2 days. The crux of the matter was that the battle was too intense, anyone who had to fight continuously for more than 8 hours without rest, was definitely going to feel exhausted.

When fighting against other humans, the war could take a pause and both sides would retreat to rest. Against these inhumane zombies, which only knew how to charge forward without fear of death, the soldiers did not even have the time to catch a breath, and had to maintain the defence like a robot. Under that high intensity, a lot of gun barrels were used to the point of waste, and many soldiers had swollen shoulders.

Of course, it was not without merit, after killing the 400,000-over zombies, there were some individual zombies straggling about that retreated, converging with those in SY County, this led the soldiers to breathe a little.

Su Dongming laughed coldly: "That's right! We should retreat immediately! As for the assault from the zombies, we can let one of the teams stay behind, and cover our retreat! Since Yue Zhong's forces are the strongest, and they had suffered the least losses, I suggest to let Yue Zhong and his men stay behind, to cover our retreat!"

After Su Dongming's words, the rest of the 4 heads all shifted their gaze towards Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong's crafty yet brilliant move in defending Tiger Mouth's Gorge, in addition to the preparation and construction they had done, had indeed wore down the zombies' fighting capabilities, and thus they had suffered almost no casualties.

Luo Tianyi looked towards Yue Zhong apologetically and said: "I too feel that Vice-Division Commander Su's words are right. Yue Zhong's forces are indeed the strongest. Letting him stay behind and cover our retreat, is the best option available. Yue Zhong, as long as you are willing to do so, you will become a huge hero in SY County's eyes. All the citizens will definitely remember this."

Yue Zhong flatly refused: "I disagree!! Covering the retreat is definitely a good idea, which I feel that the responsibility should fall on Su Dongming Commander Su and Luo Tianyi Commander Luo. The chance to be a hero, I'll leave it to you guys."

Su Dongming let out a cold laugh, and raised up his right hand: "Let's vote! Then it'll be fair. Those who are in favour of letting Yue Zhong stay behind please raise your hand!"

Luo Tianyi also raised his right hand.

Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng seemed to hesitate a while, and raised their hands as well. Yue Zhong was an outsider after all, letting him stay behind, even if there was loss, it would be borne by Yue Zhong. It was not their problem.

Shen Hongyang pondered a while before offering some conditions: "Yue Zhong, as long as you stay behind and cover our retreat, once you're back at SY, as long as you have the power, how many survivors you want to take you may take. Since you like women, we'll try and find 300 pretty virgins for you as well!!"

Yue Zhong had an icy expression as he directly refused: "Not interested!! If you insist on my staying back, I'll pull my troops back immediately!"

If Yue Zhong covered their retreat and suffered losses, without power, the military would pounce on him the first chance they got.

Luo Tianyi frowned and spoke loudly, "Yue Zhong! Why are you like that, can't you see the big picture!! Our army is now facing a crisis, only you have your fighting power intact. Just to protect your own power, you're not willing to stay behind. Do you really want to force all of us to our deaths?"

Yue Zhong gazed at Luo Tianyi contemptuously, and said cooly, "Since Commander Luo can see the bigger picture, why can't you stay behind and cover the retreat?"

Luo Tianyi was naturally unwilling to stay behind, it was job that was tantamount to suicide. If one was not careful, he might lose everything. Without troops nor the equipment, Luo Tianyi would not be worth much. He was not willing to bring his troops to their deaths.

Liu Huifeng thought quietly for awhile, before suggesting an offer that made Yue Zhong's heart itchy: "Yue Zhong, if you're willing to stay behind! We can give you 3 assault helicopters and their pilots, as well as their maintenance crew!"

3 assault helicopters were potent weapons, with just 3, Yue Zhong could be considered to possess an aerial unit, facing any small powers would just require a single assault helicopter. It could easily cause the enemy to lose the will to fight and surrender immediately. Furthermore, he could use the assault helicopter to directly fly over any places that were surrounded by zombies.

Hearing Liu Huifeng's offers, Yue Zhong was slightly tempted, but he still shook his head and refused, "I'm not interested!! If you guys insist on my staying behind, I will immediately pull my troops back!!"

It was still the same logic, if Yue Zhong lost his strength, he would have no way of protecting himself against the army, much less demand for what was promised.

Regardless of their pleading and offers, Yue Zhong rejected them all.

None of the 5 heads were willing to stick his neck out for the rest as well, and pretty soon the talks came to a deadlock.

After a long while, Shen Hongyang had no choice but to dismiss the meeting, letting the various leaders to take a rest and have some food.

Su Dongming immediately found Luo Tianyi and asked, "Old Luo, what do you think about the battle?"

Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming were from the same regiment, and their relationship was decent. Furthermore, Su Dongming was the one who always held the lead position, only after clashing with Yue Zhong did he suffered heavy losses, and thus their relationship had undergone a little change. However, it was still closer compared to the rest of the 3 heads.

Luo Tianyi furrowed his brows, and came to a precise conclusion: "It's gonna be tough!! If those zombies launch a mass scale assault in the night, we would definitely not be able to hold!"

Battling in the night was one of the hardest part of war. Under the cover of darkness, even the most elite of snipers would find it hard to discern friend from foe, not to mention the ordinary soldiers.

While the army brought plenty of flares, they could not compare to the illumination by daylight.

Su Dongming laughed coldly: "Tough?! There's only death awaiting us all if we stay! It's not like you have no idea how crazy it is to fight in the night. Based on the troops' morale and fighting capabilities now, the moment there is a slight mistake, the entire formation would fall!!"

Luo Tianyi maintained his silence, he knew Su Dongming was right. They had such a high number of inexperienced soldiers who had not gone through tough training or experiences like the veterans. The moment a mistake occurred, they were bound to lose their will to fight.

Luo Tianyi pondered a while, before saying: "What do you suggest?"

Su Dongming's eyes flash with viciousness: "We take our troops and leave. By that time, even if they don't want to cover us, it'll be too late! Stopping the horde will consume their resources! And then we'll be the rulers of SY County!"

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Luo Tianyi considered a while, before a resolute gleam flashed in his eyes and he nodded in agreement: "Fine!!"

If one does not fend for himself, the sky will come falling down*. Luo Tianyi was not willing to lose his capital here. Without his troops, his post as Commander Luo would be a joke,

After coming to a decision, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming quickly boarded their vehicles and left the command centre, under the protection of their own experts, they went to the positions of their troops.

Soon, the entire battalions of Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had left their posts, leaving behind some weapons, and were escaping directly towards SY County.

"Division Commander!! Luo Tianyi's troops and Su Dongming's troops had deserted!!!"

Shen Hongyang, the other 2 heads and Yue Zhong had just come back to the command centre when one of the officers ran up to Shen Hongyang and reported the news gravely.

"What!!!" Hearing the news, Shen Hongyang, Liu Huifeng, Qian Weimin and Yue Zhong all turned pale.

Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had left without a word at this critical juncture, this caused their defence earlier agreed upon to have 2 large holes. The horde could easily breach the defence through the holes and surround the other troops from behind.

Even the strategic point of Tiger's Mouth Gorge that Yue Zhong was controlling would lose its effectiveness. The zombies could go through the gaps left by Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming to cut around the gorge and attack Yue Zhong's troops.

"I curse your entire families, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming!!" The usually calm Liu Huifeng was currently so agitated that he cursed out loud. He was beyond infuriated as the deserting actions from the other 2 heads would definitely cause the loss of the war.

Qian Weimin's eyes were currently bloodshot as well, and he scolded out loud: "Fuck!! Div. Commander Shen, I recommend that we announce that Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming as traitors, and to activate the assault helicopters to wipe the deserters out!!"

The remaining 7 assault helicopters were under the command of Shen Hongyang, if they were deployed, they could easily annihilate Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming.

Yue Zhong also walked forward furiously and said, "Commander Shen!! Please send out your helicopters to make an example of the deserters!! Also, make the announcement that Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming are traitors!!!"

This was absolute treason!! At the most critical point of the battle, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had backstabbed them ruthlessly. Yue Zhong could not help but feel infuriated as well.

Shen Hongyang lowered his head in thought before replying: "No!! Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming have deserted, that's true, but their subordinates are innocent! They are all good soldiers, and have done SY County a lot of merit. I can't give this order!!"

Hearing Shen Hongyang's words, Yue Zhong felt extremely disappointed! Shen Hongyang was caring for the soldiers under the 2 traitors, and weren't willing to label them as traitors and deserters, nor did he want to punish them. While his intentions were good, under these circumstances, it was basically cowardice and indecisiveness.

"Division Commander!!! The horde is attacking!!!" One of the officers called out.

Those zombies had retreated earlier to regroup, and await more of the their comrades to join in, once they were gathered, they launched their assault again.

Yue Zhong glanced coldly at Shen Hongyang: "Commander Shen, since you're not willing to give the command, I can't force you. Goodbye."

After that, Yue Zhong immediately strided out. He did not want to stay here any longer to be buried with Shen Hongyang. The moment Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming deserted their posts, the battle was lost. He could only retreat at the fastest speed, bringing his troops along with me. Talking anymore words with Shen Hongyang was wasting time.

Shen Hongyang's face changed, as he called out agitatedly, "Yue Zhong!! Come back!! Yue Zhong, come back this instant!!!"

If Yue Zhong were to leave, the situation will become more dire.

Yue Zhong ignored Shen Hongyang, and in a few breaths he got on top of Greenie, flying towards his troops.

"Heed my command! All battalions are to retreat immediately and make your way back to SY County! Special Combat Forces maintain your resistance from where you guys are! Xu Zhengang, you organize the retreat!" Sitting aboard Greenie, Yue Zhong talked through the walkie-talkie, giving a slew of orders to his subordinates.

"Commander! What happened?" Xu Zhengang who was in the midst of commanding, immediately asked Yue Zhong. He could detect that there was something wrong from the urgent tone of Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Those bastards Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming have deserted!! We can't hold the horde back anymore!"

"I understand! I will complete your orders!" Xu Zhengang replied and immediately started organizing the retreat!!

The 1st Battalion which had the least equipment to worry about were the first to retreat. They started making their way back towards SY County in huge steps, everyone of them holding a can of Type 2 Mutant Meat. They ate while walking, and the precious Type 2 Mutant Meat helped recover their vitality.

The various equipments and setups on the hills were torn down and packed into the vehicles, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions started making their way back. Only the Special Combat Forces remained behind to defend the Gorge, buying some time for the rest of the battalions.

Yue Zhong transmitted an order to Guo Quan: "Guo Quan! Take all the troops now and conquer the riverbank bridge!! Transfer all the survivors to the other side. That is the only path of retreat for our troops, you must definitely protect it!!"

Guo Quan replied loudly: "Yes! Commander Yue!!"

After Yue Zhong left, Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin both stared coldly at Shen Hongyang, not even bothering about him anymore, before they both left the command centre and gave the urgent commands to their subordinates to abandon their posts and prepare to evacuate. As long as there were people remaining, there would be a chance back at SY County.

The moment the troops of Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin left their posts, the entire defence line collapsed, and the zombies made their advance through the various posts.

Shen Hongyang had immediately deployed the tanks and IFVs to fire crazily at the zombies in an attempt to kill them.

However, the moment the soldiers on the ground received news of the retreat of the other 5 powers, Shen Hongyang's troops all felt despair. Some of the companies started to lose their will to fight, and ran for their lives.

Zombies had routed around from the gap left by Luo Tianyi and were attacking Shen Hongyang's soldiers, surrounding them on both sides.

With their retreat cut off, the troops started to lose composure, and a huge number of the soldiers abandoned their positions, throwing their equipment and running into the night.

The S1s and S2s amongst the horde were the most terrifying killers, they chased down those soldiers who tried to run, killing them effortlessly.

There were many deaths happening every single second. The defence line collapsed and the soldiers lost all composure and will to fight, throwing down their equipment. All sorts of ammo belts, heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers, were all left behind. They only had the thought of lightening their weights so as to escape faster.

One officer ran up to Shen Hongyang's side and pleaded bitterly, "Division Commander!! Please evacuate!! We can't hold on any longer!! If we don't, the zombies will reach here soon!!"

Shen Hongyang looked at the chaos and death on the screen, and looked crestfallen: "Was I wrong? Where was I wrong? How did it become like this??"

Shen Hongyang looked at his elite soldiers being bitten to death, and felt pain in his heart. These were the hope for mankind.

Due to Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin pulling their troops at the first moment, Shen Hongyang's troops were encircled by the zombies, and a huge number of them were dying out, in fact, only Shen Xue's elite First Battalion was left fending for themselves.

The officer could not care less about ranks and hierarchy anymore as he shouted at Shen Hongyang, "Division Commander!! If you still don't act, Miss Shen Xue's unit is gonna be annihilated!!"

"Let the First Battalion retreat!! Send the armored vehicles to cover them!!" Shen Hongyang seemed to have been jolted to his senses after that shout and quickly issued the orders.

Upon Shen Hongyang's activation, the tanks and IFVS formed an assault line, and charged into the horde, crushing any zombies in their paths.

The 7 assault helicopters were also activated by Shen Hongyang, and followed the armored vehicles to rescue the First Battalion that was surrounded by zombies.

Facing the sea of zombies, other than Shen Xue's unit, the other troops had abandoned their equipment, and ran like crazy back towards SY County.

Defeat!! It was a complete and utter defeat!!

On the road, there were many soldiers running back, having thrown their armor and equipment. The moment they were caught by the S-Type zombies, they would die.

Those S2s had speed that vastly outstripped the ordinary zombies, very soon, they had caught up with the retreating troops of Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin, launching a ruthless assault upon them.

The troops of Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng had their Enhancers step out to take care of the S2s that were chasing up, however, under the relentless assault, numerous soldiers from the different battalions were all defeated and killed.

Yue Zhong had rushed to Tiger's Mouth Gorge at the first moment. He wanted to join his Special Forces in fighting back the zombies, buying more time for his own subordinates to retreat farther.

Without the support from the other positions, Tiger's Mouth Gorge would definitely be overrun, they could at most withstand for a little longer, which in turn meant that the advance of the zombie horde would be slowed down as well.

By the time Yue Zhong arrived at Tiger's Mouth Gorge, the battle had reached an extreme intensity. The endless waves of zombies were constantly advancing towards the gorge.

At the Tiger's Mouth Gorge, there were a few heavy machine guns being fired rapidly, and with the hail of bullets, the zombies were being slayed by the numbers as well.

With the continuous advance and death of the countless number of zombies, a 4m high mountain of corpses soon piled up at the mouth of the valley.

Chapter 0288 – Capturing the Bridge!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

The riverbank bridge was an important channel of transportation towards the north in SY County. It was also the only channel that led to Ning Guang County. If it wasn't for this bridge, if one wanted to go to Ning Guang County from SY County, it would be over 80km, and one had to travel the outskirts of SY County to find the other channels. Accordingly, the riverbank bridge was like a lifeline for SY County.

Therefore, on the bridge, there were 20 policemen who were guarding both ends of the bridge.

Zhang Cheng was a policeman of SY County, he was also the vice director, who had been stationed at the bridge long-term. He was extremely satisfied with his current position, not only did he get to eat his fill everyday, his wages were 30 jin of rice in a month. 30 jin in the current post-apocalyptic world was a sizable sum, and allowed him to pay to toy with a few women.

"Boss!! Want to go for a round?" One of the younger policemen called out to Zhang Cheng. Inside the room, 6 of the policemen were currently playing "Fighting the Landlord" and "Win the Chicken", and had bet their wages as stakes.

[TN: Gambling games of sorts I guess]

"You guys go ahead!!" Zhang Cheng laughed.

Right at this moment, the door was kicked wide open, and a number of soldiers rushed in with their .03 rifles, aiming the guns at the policemen as they coldly shouted out: "Nobody move! Put your hands up!"

Zhang Cheng and his team were all shocked, and immediately raised their hands. The current world was not like in the past, the moment there was a bit of resistance, their lives might be gone in the next instant.

"I say, this brother! Is there some misunderstanding?? I don't think we have offended you guys in any way right?" Zhang Cheng looked towards the military-dressed soldiers and worked up his courage to ask.

The leader of the soldiers shouted out coldly, while waving his hands and a few other soldiers stepped up to tie up the 7 policemen, as he said, "Shut up, keep your mouth shut the whole lot of you!"

This police station was thus won easily by Guo Quan.

Although there were over 20 policemen standing guard near the bridge, they were not wary enough, and their fighting capabilities were weak. Before they even knew what had happened, the bridge was easily subdued and conquered by Guo Quan and his men.

Obtaining control of the bridge was easy, but defending it was going to be tough.

Guo Quan had ordered for a few streets near the bridge to be closed off within the first chance he got, and the survivors were all chased out.

At the same time, Guo Quan had assigned a platoon of soldiers to launch an attack on the policemen on the other side of the bridge.

As they were caught unprepared, the policemen on the other side were also easily subdued, and all the policemen were brought together and locked up.

The first group of soldiers also started constructing some defence under Guo Quan's orders. As long as they did not face the attacks of any artillery, the defence fortifications would be of extreme use.

"Guo Quan, what is the meaning of this?" Guo Quan's actions were picked up by the 2 heads of the government, and Wen Baoguo had personally come into Guo Quan's zone, asking with a steely expression.

Guo Quan replied curtly, "I'm doing this on Commander Yue's orders!!"

Wen Baoguo continued, "Leave here immediately! I'm telling you to leave here, otherwise I'll be forced to announce that you guys are not welcome here anymore."

Guo Quan replied icily, "Before Commander Yue comes back, we're not going anywhere."

Wen Baoguo stared fixedly at Guo Quan, and thought deeply before asking suddenly, "Is there something wrong with the frontlines?"

Guo Quan hesitated a while, before revealing to Wen Baoguo: "Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had abandoned their posts first and made a run for it. The entire defence line had collapsed!! This time, we're defeated!! The huge horde of zombies are currently making their way towards us!!"

It was as though Wen Baoguo was struck by a lightning bolt out of nowhere, as he stammered to confirm the news with Guo Quan: "Is this true?"

If it was as Guo Quan said, things had gotten to a seriously bad point. When the army had left to deal with the horde, everyone had seemed so full of themselves and confident. Who would have expected that the army which possessed modern weaponry and high-tech equipment to have lost to a horde of mindless creatures.

It must be clear that initially, the army had easily taken care of the 700,000 zombies within SY County itself, after expending huge amounts of ammunition and suffering little casualties. This time, most of the survivors thought that dealing with the horde was only a matter of ammunition, and never did they imagine that the army was actually defeated.

Guo Quan coldly replied, "This is what Commander Yue transmitted to us. If you don't believe it, you can ask Shen Hongyang personally."

Wen Baoguo did not seem to notice Guo Quan's indifference, he immediately rushed back to the government, assigning a subordinate to confirm the news with Shen Hongyang.

"What do we do?" Wen Baoguo's first course of action was to seek Peng Mingde to discuss.

Peng Mingde pondered a while, before speaking: "There are 2 paths we can take now! The first is to activate the survivors, to construct fortifications and defence mechanisms, giving them weapons, to join the army in defending SY County. The other, is to forgo SY County, and to evacuate the survivors!"

Wen Baoguo shook his head, "The zombie horde could overcome even the army, what hope will we have with our citizens? The first path you speak of is not possible."

SY County had over 100,000 survivors, their numbers exceeding the soldiers of the military, however, most of them had been starved to the point of emaciation, their bodies extremely weak. It was too much to ask of them, seeing that throwing a punch would drain them, not mentioning taking up arms against a huge horde of zombies as well as evolved ones.

Peng Mingde frowned as he softly replied: "Then we can only abandon SY County and shift. However, where can we go with 100,000 survivors?"

Yue Zhong's Ning Guang County and Qing Yuan County were naturally the safest places to be, however, Peng Mingde was not willing to take the survivors to Yue Zhong's strongholds. The moment the survivors ended up in Yue Zhong's hands, his position as Secretary General Peng would not last long.

Wen Baoguo thought for a while, and said resolutely, "Let's move to Yue Zhong's Ning Guang County! The place is big enough, accommodating an additional 100,000 people shouldn't be an issue."

Wen Baoguo had his desires to remain as a government officer, and loved his authority. However, he knew what his bottom line was. He would definitely not risk the lives of a 100,000 people for the sake of his own power.

Peng Mingde hesitated a while, before shaking his head: "Let's slow down!! Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought!!"

Power was an amazing thing. To give up the power and authority a person has, required a huge deal of courage and determination. Peng Mingde could not see the end picture, and was thus unwilling to give up his own power.

Peng Mingde did not agree with Wen Baoguo's suggestion to evacuate the survivors, however he started to activate them to begin fortifications at the borders.

Guo Quan was currently organizing the survivors calmly, preparing for them to leave towards Ning Guang County.

At the frontlines, Yue Zhong had been engaged in battle against the horde with his Special Forces, and a huge group of zombies had just routed behind them from the other positions and were starting an attack on them.

The Special Combat Forces unit had already done their preparations beforehand, every one of them tied a rope to themselves which were tied to Greenie's legs.

With a flap of its wings, Greenie rose towards the skies, bringing the Special Combat Forces with it. The soldiers, carried by Greenie, enjoyed the aerial flight that was hard to come by.

Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong, Ji Qingwu and Tong Xiaoyun were seated on Greenie's back.

Tong Xiaoyun was hugging Yue Zhong tightly, her expression comfortable.

Yue Zhong was also hugging Zhuo Yatong tightly, taking in her fragrance, a look of satisfaction on his face.

[TN: And Ji Qingwu was hugging Greenie tightly, wondering why she was not included, like Zhuo Yatong could have been hugging HER, and smelling HER fragrance.]

When Greenie was in mid-air, as the winds were too harsh, no one spoke, they all huddled tightly together, enjoying the rare moment of peace.

After flying for a while, Yue Zhong patted Greenie's back and said, "Fly a little lower, Greenie!"

Upon hearing the command, Greenie started its descent, flying at a low altitude.

Yue Zhong laid on Greenie's back, and looked below.

Greenie's flight speed was extremely fast, not long after, it had chased up to Xu Zhengang's unit that had left an hour earlier.

At the same time, there were over a hundred S2s chasing Xu Zhengang and his men from behind.

However, Yue Zhong's troops were experienced when dealing with these S2s with high speed.

5 IFVs tied with wire charged towards the S2s.

As the speed of the S2s were extremely fast, when they made contact with the thin wires, their own speed coupled with the frontal charge of the IFVs caused their own head to be sliced through by the combined force.

Other than the 5 IFVs charging forwards, a few steel wire nets were already taken out, forming an entire piece. While these steel wire nets were of no use against the L2s which had incredible strength and defence, they were extremely efficient against the S-Type zombies. Many of the S2s charged into the nets, before being brought down by them. The soldiers then stepped forwards to execute them.

Some of the warriors decked in Mutant Water Snake hides and wielding their Tang Replica Swords even dared to come up and hack off the heads of the S2s.

Bright flashes of gunfire illuminated the skies, causing this entire area to be lit up like a normal day. Yue Zhong's troops were engaged in an intense battle with these S2s. While Yue Zhong's troops had the upper hand, the S2s were simply too fast, from time to time, there would be some soldiers who had their Mutant Boar hides slashed through, and being injured as a result.

Right as the battle was going on, Greenie had flapped its wings and arrived.

Yue Zhong leapt down from Greenie's back, activating his Shadow Steps and rushed into the midst of the zombies. He attacked, waving his 2m-long Black-tooth Blade as he killed the zombies effortlessly.

The rest of the Special Combat Forces also undid their ropes, and joined in the fray.

The moment the Special Combat Forces joined in, the remaining more than a 100 S2s were decimated. The performance of the little loli Yao Yao was especially eye-catching. Her speed had long surpassed the S2s of course. As long as she was moving about, the S2s found their heads decapitated, and her speed of executing the S2s was even faster than Ji Qingwu and Yue Zhong as a result.

Chapter 0289 – Breakout!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

After killing the S2s that had chased up, under the command of Xu Zhengang, the 4 Battalions immediately gathered together and continued on with their retreat towards SY County in an orderly fashion.

Xu Zhengang was the defeated commander that Yue Zhong had brought over to his side from Qing Yuan County previously, and he was truly an exceptional commander. Under his command, even in the darkness, other than a measly few who had escaped during the retreat the rest of the 4 battalions maintained their order and spirit. This prevented any falling apart at all. Those who had escaped were also from the preliminary group that had to join in the fray at short notice.

The soldiers from the preliminary group had not gone through any tough battles. So when the S2s arrived and begin their assault, the soldiers from the preliminary group had escaped and parted from the army due to fear.

However, compared to the SY's military that had collapsed till they lacked all resemblance to an army, Yue Zhong's troops were considered to have been preserved well.

Yue Zhong's army being maintained was due to Yue Zhong's efforts in leading his Special Combat Forces to buy time for the rest of the soldiers led by Xu Zhengang.

After disposing of the group of S2s, Yue Zhong and his elite Special Combat Forces with the strongest fighting capabilities out of the entire army stayed behind. continuing to cover the retreat for the rest of the troops. At this time, the Special Combat Forces each took out their dried fish meat of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish. Upon feasting on this meat, it replenished their depleting energy, allowing them to regain the strength to fight.

After fighting for an entire day, the Special Combat Forces were exhausted. If it wasn't for their condition that surpassed most normal humans, they would have lost the will to fight long ago.

This time, the horde that Yue Zhong and the army had to face? Firstly, the zombies numbered above 1.2 million. During the day, they had managed to kill over 400,000 of them. Unfortunately there were still 800,000 of them left. The number of S2s within this horde of 800,000 still exceeded over 3,000.

These S2s were urged by the Z-Types within the horde, and charged forwards like knives, chasing and killing the retreating soldiers of both the army and Yue Zhong's troops.

As long as they were marked by the S2s, the S1 army would quickly catch up, and the lethal combination could break down any resistance that the humans had left.

Therefore, Yue Zhong had to take his Special Combat Forces to kill those S2s in pursuit. Otherwise, if the fight dragged on too long, Xu Zhengang and the 4 Battalions would definitely be wiped out.

In the wilderness covered by darkness as well as the lack of any forms of construction? Obviously, the moment the S1s reached them, Yue Zhong's 4 battalions would not be able to last long.

Yue Zhong and his Special Combat Forces killed off a few other straggling zombies that had managed to catch up. Suddenly, 10 defeated soldiers appeared and ran towards them, with 4 S2s in pursuit.

"Help!!! Help!!!" The leader of the team saw Yue Zhong and eyes brightened as he shouted out madly.

Without any equipment, nor terrain advantage, even 30 soldiers would die against 4 S2s.

"Go save them!!" Yue Zhong glanced at the 10 soldiers and commanded.

Yao Yao, who was feeling excitement and lingering battle-lust after killing so many zombies, charged into the ranks of the 4 S2s. As she arrived her Dark Magic Blade began flashing about, and the heads of the 4 S2s instantly fell on the ground.

After killing the 4 S2s, Yao Yao immediately rummaged through the items they dropped, seeing that there was nothing of use to her, she stuffed them in a bag and threw it to Yue Zhong.

The 10 soldiers looked on with an expression of shock. They did not expect that this little loli decked in the smallest military attire, with such cute looks, would be capable of such fearsome combat skills. The 4 S2s that they, as grown men, could not handle were disposed off easily by this little loli.

The 10 soldiers came forward to Yue Zhong and the leader kneeled as he begged pitifully: "Commander Yue!! I am the Commanding Officer of Division Commander Shen's 3rd Battalion 2nd Company, Liu Lijian! Please, I'm begging you to bring your men to save our Commander Shen!! Our brothers from 2 battalions have been surrounded by zombies, if no one goes to save them, they will die soon!!"

The rest of the soldiers who managed to escape death's door also kneeled and started begging bitterly: "Commander Yue!! Please save our Commander Shen!!"

Although Shen Hongyang was not perfect, he was a commander that valued his soldiers. He could even remember the names of any officer or commander he groomed. Furthermore, regardless of any issues that his subordinates might face, he would be the first to step out and help. It was because of his nature that he was admired and loved by his troops.

Of the 6 armies, Shen Hongyang's troops were the slowest to evacuate, thus even though he had tanks and assault helicopters, he was bogged down by those S-Types. And it was because Shen Hongyang had attracted the attention of the zombies that the pressure on Yue Zhong's troops was reduced a lot.

Song Wen quipped in harshly, "Commander Yue!! That bastard Shen Hongyang didn't give the orders to take down those traitors Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi. There's no need for us to care about him. Let them feed the zombies! At least they can be useful for slowing the horde down. It's the best outcome possible!"

Shen Hongyang's decision to not pursue Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi who had abandoned their posts created a dip in morale and fighting spirit amongst the rest of the army. Based on the situation, if Shen Hongyang had deployed the 7 assault helicopters to give chase, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming did not possess any anti-air defence, and thus would be defeated, slowing their retreat down. The rest of the army could then work together to capture the 2 of them and their troops to act as cannon fodder to slow the zombie horde down. That would have been the best course of action to take.

Yue Zhong glanced at Liu Lijian and said indifferently, "From now on, you're under me! You are no longer Shen Hongyang's men. I will bring some people to take a look, if he's still worth saving, I will lend a hand!"

Any veteran soldier that had gone through the forge of war was a prized treasure. They possessed combat ability as well as a strong fighting will compared to newer soldiers.

This time, the military had underestimated the horde, as they had retained the thinking of the prior battle where they managed to conquer SY County and the 700,000 zombies without counting for the evolved zombies this time round. This was the main reason for their loss, however, they still managed to clear 400,000 of the zombies with Yue Zhong. If it wasn't for the fact that there were selfish and personal interests, the army might still have lost, but it would not have been this bad.

After speaking, Yue Zhong directly brought his Special Combat Forces and headed towards Shen Hongyang's direction.

Shen Xue currently felt despair at the situation. Shen Hongyang had given the orders to evacuate too late, and thus a large number of the zombies had already surrounded them, cutting off their retreat. At this time, the First Battalion being led by Shen Xue was engaging in an all-out fight against the zombies together with the armored vehicles and tanks, which formed a defensive post, coupled with the assault helicopters in the air. They had managed to kill off waves after waves of S2s, however, before the total number of S2s had been killed, the S1s had come arrived.

The total number of S1s far outnumbered the S2s, and they were simply endless. Even with the constant heavy fire by Shen Xue and her unit, which resulted in a lot of deaths of the S-types, there were a still few who managed to rush past the defence line, and started killing the soldiers.

Shen Hongyang had sent in his experts to the frontlines at the first moment he could.

A few experts who were extraordinary, their strength only slightly inferior to Yue Zhong's own Special Combat Force appeared on the battlefield

With their abilities, they managed to lock down those S1s and S2s, killing them all entirely.

Yue Zhong was not the only one who knew how to raise experts, the five heads of the military as well as the 2 governing heads of the government had a handful of experts that were similar to Yue Zhong's Special Combat Force. Amongst these experts, some were even naturally awakened Evolvers.

Amongst Shen Hongyang's experts, there was a burly, dark, middle-aged man with calloused hands, his name was Xu Xiao, and he was the leader of the group of experts. He also possessed the strongest fighting capabilities as an Evolver amongst the group of experts.

Xu Xiao was a Spirit-based Evolver, and had a Ferrokinetic ability called Steel Manipulation. Surrounding him, there were 4 Tang Replica Swords and 2 Dark Magic Blades, sealing the space within 10m of him. As long as he passed near the horde, the 6 God and Devil System equipments would fly out crazily, chopping and slashing those S2s.

As Shen Hongyang's strongest expert, Xu Xiao had experienced countless battles. As of now, he was a Level 38 Enhancer. With only 2 more levels to go, he would undergo another leap in strength.

However, these 2 levels were hard to achieve, even after hunting and killing so many S2s, Xu Xiao would need to kill over a few hundreds of them before he could reach Level 40. If he were to hunt and kill the normal zombies, then he would be required to kill over 10,000 of them before he can reach that level.

In this post-apocalyptic world, the fastest way to gain levels was to hunt and kill extremely strong Mutant Beasts. As long as one could hunt these tyrants, one could gain strength rapidly. However, Xu Xiao was but one member of the army. He could not travel around alone freely to hunt and seek for high-level Mutant Beasts to hunt.

This was because he had to obey commands. The fact that he could reach Level 38, was because he had already killed many Type 2 zombies, and had slowly climbed up the Enhancement ladder.

Under the lead of Xu Xiao, the 10 experts all exhibited their abilities to the maximum. Their ruthless attacks continuously ground and killed the S-Type zombies that got too close, maintaining the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers.

However, those who managed to take down most of the zombies, were still the normal soldiers. With the help of the seemingly unceasing firepower, huge numbers of the zombies would be slain just like that.

In the sky, flares would be fired constantly, illuminating the battlefield. Without the illumination, the 2 battalions would have long been swallowed by the sea of zombies.

Shen Hongyang initially had 4 battalions of soldiers, but all he had left now were 2 exhausted and almost broken battalions. The other 2 battalions were made up of too many new soldiers, and once they knew their comrades had abandoned their posts, they had lost their composure at the first moment. Only these 2 battalions fighting were left in Shen Hongyang's hands.

While the 2 battalions put up a brave fight, their numbers were dwindling as time passed, and their exhaustion was increasing. Facing the never ending waves of zombies, being swallowed by the sea of zombies was only a matter of time. It was just that while Shen Hongyang knew that fighting on would result in his entire army being killed, he had no choice but to fight. If he were to evacuate them right now, the 2 battalions would be slaughtered by the S-Type zombies anyway, and only death awaited.

"Division Commander!! Battalion Commander Shen Xue's side requires the aid of the tanks. They cannot hold on for much longer!!" One of the officers transmitted to Shen Hongyang.

"Ask her to hold on for 10 more minutes!! The tanks are supporting Yuan Lei and the other battalion right now!! Organize my guards right now, and deploy them over to her side!!" Shen Hongyang's eyes were bloodshot right now, and he looked as though he had aged a few years as he spoke out hoarsely.

At this time, both battalions were reaching a critical point, and needed support everywhere they could. Shen Hongyang simply could not pull out any more soldiers to assist Shen Xue, and thus could only assign his guards to go help her.

"Commander Shen! Do you require help?" At this time, Yue Zhong had brought his Special Combat Forces and entered the command centre.

Shen Hongyang saw the sudden appearance of Yue Zhong, and his eyes lit up, as though he had seen a glimmer of hope: "Yue Zhong!! You're here!! I need your help urgently. If you can save the 2 battalions, I will definitely repay you."

Right now, the situation was dire, and Shen Hongyang did not have the energy nor mind to engage in any more mind games with Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong immediately stated his conditions: "I can think of a way to get your men out. However, I want those 10 tanks, 7 assault helicopters as well as their drivers, artillery soldiers, as well as 10 drone operators. On top of that, I will require 2 companies of veteran soldiers. If you agree to these, I would immediately lend a hand, if not, I will leave. You can rely on your own capabilities to try and kill your way out then!!"

Yue Zhong had decided to save Shen Hongyang because he was eyeing the various equipment and experience soldiers on Shen Hongyang's side. He had the machinery of his own at the Mechanized Infantry Brigade base, but he lacked the professionals and the know-how. As long as he obtained the talent, he could train a few more within a short time, and quickly assemble a powerful unit.

Shen Hongyang pondered for just a while, before accepting Yue Zhong's terms: "I promise you!"

If his men were dead, he was left with nothing! Shen Hongyang loved his troops like he loved his children, he would not sacrifice them if he could. If right now Yue Zhong wanted him to surrender, as long as the soldiers could live on, he would not hesitate to do so.

Yue Zhong said deeply: "Order your units to pack up and evacuate now! Get the experts, the armored troop and the assault helicopters to fall back orderly. I will send my guys to cover your retreat!"

Shen Hongyang nodded his head, and immediately gave a list of commands, ordering his men to start evacuating.

Yue Zhong also sent out his experts to cover the 2 battalions in their preparations to retreat.

Chapter 0290 – Tough Breakthrough!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Very soon, the 2 battalions had finished their preparations, and were currently being surrounded by many S1s.

Shen Hongyang had ordered the 10 tanks and 6 IFVs to bring up the rear, while the sides were covered by his experts and Yue Zhong's Special Combat Force.

At the front of the troops, there was only Yue Zhong, White Bones and Greenie. There was only 3 of them, and they were the lead force in charge of opening a path!

"Greenie!! It's up to you now!!" Yue Zhong gave a nuclei from the Type 2 Mutant Crab to Greenie, as he patted its head and said seriously.

Greenie gobbled up the nuclei in one mouth, and flapped its wings as it activated its ability: Wind Power!

In mid-air, Greenie flapped its wings continuously, and a number of hurricanes appeared, blowing towards those S1s and S2s that were blocking the way. Under the fearsome strength of the winds, those tightly-packed S1s and S2s were blown a few metres away.

With the mini-hurricanes generated by Greenie, a hole appeared in that horde of 10,000 S1s.

"Charge!!!" Shen Xue saw the hole and immediately hollered without a care for her bearing!!

The 2 battalions saw the lifeline, and in that instant, they managed to summon their last bit of strength as all of them made a rush for the opening.

Yue Zhong hoisted 2 .05 submachine guns and immediately rushed to the front. With his superb aiming, he shot his guns, his both hands constantly firing wildly. With each spray of the machine gun, a line of zombies would immediately be slain as their heads exploded.

If we remember that Yue Zhong possessed incredible night vision, in the dark, he was like a fish in water. Any zombies that got too close would immediately be fired upon and killed with a bullet to the head.

White Bones just charged directly into the midst of the hordes, and with its body, it constantly shot out and in 10 incredibly sharp bone spikes in random orders. that pierced through the heads of countless zombies killing them instantly.

Now that it had Evolved to possess some intelligence, White Bones' combat ability became even more fearsome. It could now control any part of its body to shoot out its bone spears, and it literally became a moving, flexible spike ball. Furthermore, after possessing the 'Sharpening' ability, every single bone spear that it shot out could easily penetrate the heads of even the L2s that knifes and most guns could do nothing about.

With the protective cover of Yue Zhong and White Bones, the S2s could not even come close enough before they were instantly decimated. Thus the path for the soldiers' movement was unhindered.

"So strong!!" Shen Xue looked at Yue Zhong and White Bones. With just the 2 of them, they battled while maintaining the gap that was created by Greenie's hurricanes. She gritted her teeth and could not help but admit that Yue Zhong was incredibly powerful.

Even the strongest expert within Shen Hongyang's camp ~ Xu Xiao, who led the other experts, could not match Yue Zhong's team's spectacular performance and ability.

Especially powerful here was Greenie, whose natural ability allowed it to conjure up hurricanes. With every attack, a few hundreds or even occasionally thousands of zombies would be blown away.

It was because of this Type 2 Mutant Beast's help, that Yue Zhong and White Bones could carve out a way for the soldiers to retreat.

The soldiers of the 2 battalions munched on the emergency Type 2 Mutant Beast dried meat as they were escaping frantically.

The Type 2 Mutant Beast meat gave them much needed nutrients as well as the replenishing of their energy and stabilizing of morale. After finishing the meat, they would be able to reform much more efficiently.

Shen Hongyang had known of the revitalizing properties of the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, therefore had sent Shen Xue to purchase 30 tonnes of the meat prior.

Even with Yue Zhong leading the Special Combat Forces, the retreat of the 2 battalions were still fraught with danger. They were surrounded by the numerous S1s after all, and the S1s would continually throw attacks as and when they could, be it in front or from the back.

"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!!" Xu Xiao's eyes had gone bloodshot with ferocious battle rage. His 6 God and Devil System swords were dancing, bobbing, and weaving continuously in the air, those zombies that were unfortunate enough to get too close were immediately chopped in pieces.

On the other side, Zhuo Yatong was wielding her huge mace. She slammed and swung it around non-stop, with every monstrous swing 3 or 4 S1s would be crushed, flinging various pieces all about.

The loli Yao Yao flitted around the battlefield with bursts of speed. As she attacked, her blade swung in fast flashes, and numerous S1s' heads would tumble around after being neatly shorn from their bodies.

The Special Combat Forces and the experts under Shen Hongyang had powers that far surpassed normal people, but they also received a lot of pressure. Under that kind of intense battle, everyone's stamina was being worn down at an insane speed.

Those experts would immediately add their points into Stamina upon levelling. No one would allocate any points to anything else at this point. Stamina! This was the only thing that could allow them to continue on under such harsh conditions.

The 10 tanks were also firing their cannons continuously! Every shot fired would guarantee the death of at least a few tens of S1s. The remaining IFVs were firing their ZPT90s rapidly in a cleanup of the wounded zombies in the neverending tide. A single round could pierce through a few S1s, and those zombies that got fired at by the ZPT90s would have a large hole in their body, some even had their bodies shredded in two, losing any real further fighting capabilities.

The smaller caliber mounted machine guns were being utilized as deterrence, a hail of bullets rained on the S1s, killing and injuring many zombies, as they fell to the ground incapacitated.

The 7 assault helicopters in the skies were using their own rockets, firing at the places where the zombies were packed the most tightly, killing off entire patches each time they exploded.

Under the relentless attacks, the horde of S1s were being picked off quickly, as huge groups of them were incinerated or killed. This allowed Yue Zhong and everyone else present a chance to withstand the never ending assault from the zombies themselves.

With the efforts of Yue Zhong, his troops and the various other experts, the 13,000 S1s that had been troubling Shen Hongyang's troops were being decimated

Under the obliteration of the continuous attacks their numbers decreased quickly, very soon, there were only about 2,000 left.

However, at this time, the 10 tanks, the remaining IFVs as well as the assault helicopters in the skies, had gone through their available ammunition and firepower.

Greenie, which was continuously beating up hurricanes, had also expended a lot of its energy, and could not help but fly off into the distance, leaving the battlefield to rest momentarily.

Losing the support of the heavy weaponry, even though there were only about 2,000 S1s left, the battle had just became incredibly tough.

Yue Zhong made White Bones lead from the front as it hacked and slashed his way through to keep the way open. He himself went to join the Special Combat Forces as they continued their battles at the sides.

All these Special Combat Forces were Yue Zhong's precious troops, even losing one would cause him a heartache. Especially Ji Qingwu, Zhuo Yatong and Tong Xiaoyun. They were incredibly powerful beauties who could do much more than warm his bed. They could fight well! He would definitely not allow them to die.

Although the Special Combat Forces were elite soldiers, under such intense conditions, their Stamina had been depleted. Killing the S1s became increasingly harder as the battle went on.

Yue Zhong came to the other side, and saw the avalanche of S1s. In response his hands waved about and he threw a handful of grenades. Through the air they flew before they directly exploded and caused a few S1s to be blasted to pieces.

"Shit! There were still the grenades!! I'd almost forgotten!" Seeing Yue Zhong lob the grenades over, Song Wen's brain seemed to be jolted awake and he exclaimed with a little regret.

The Special Combat Forces were so used to using their God and Devil System equipment and abilities to kill the zombies to gain enhancement, that in the heat of battle, they forgot about the modern weaponry they carried on themselves.

Every single one of the Special Combat Force were armed to the teeth, and they all had .05 light machine guns, 8 50-round magazines, and 8 grenades.

The .05 light machine guns were the best measure against these zombies that could be pierced through by the bullets. Under the cover of Yue Zhong's firing, the soldiers all took out their .05 machine guns and started firing at the zombies wildly.

In that dense hail of bullets, a large number of the S1s that had not reached the soldiers were immediately shot and brutally killed. While some did not die, the upside was it broke their dense and concentrated attack formation.

The moment the formation was broken, the scattered S1s that were rushing forward became much easier to pick off.

On the other side, Shen Hongyang had deployed a company of old veterans to join Xu Xiao's unit of experts, and with the suppressing fire they provided, Xu Xiao's unit managed to catch a breather as well.

The entire group fought as they retreated, not daring to stop or stay stationary. Every single minute of delay meant additional danger. Facing this advance group of S1s was already extremely tiring. If the rest of the horde caught up from behind, they would bite the dust.

The intense hit-and-run battle continued for another 2 hours, and the remaining 2,000 or more S1s were finally annihilated by the experts of both Shen Hongyang and Yue Zhong's troops. With this small victory they finally managed to break free from the siege.

However, Shen Hongyang's troops also suffered a great loss. Out of the 2 battalions, he lost a total of 30% of his troops. The other 2 battalions had collapsed earlier during the defence, and were most likely dead within the mouths of the zombies.

All the advanced vehicles had run out of ammo, without weapons, even the assault helicopters could only be used for reconnaissance.

After breaking out of the siege, other than Yue Zhong who possessed a Stamina 8 times that of normal humans, most of the fighters were exhausted to the point that they were breathing raggedly. However, they did not dare slow down, as they continued to flee with all their might towards SY County. Based on their current condition, if another 2,000 S1s were to appear, they would be unconditionally defeated. Even if Yue Zhong was around, it would surely still be useless.

With the motivation of staying alive, the entire group made their way towards SY County without stopping.

Just as they neared the entrance to SY County, they discovered that outside of the gate, there was a small team stationed there, and they were currently involved with some fortifications and constructions.

Seeing the small team, Shen Hongyang's troops became wary, as they hoisted their weapons. They were already exhausted, if this small team were to make a sudden assault, these 2 battalions of Shen Hongyang would most likely be wiped out.

"Commander Yue! Are you there? I am Xiong Zheng!!" Xiong Zheng brought along a company of soldiers as they called out to Shen Hongyang's troops.

"I'm here!!" Yue Zhong stepped out from the Special Combat Force and replied loudly. They were finally safe!

Chapter 0291 – Ambush! Confusion!

Translated by: Kun

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The moment Shen Hongyang's troops entered Yue Zhong's territory, they immediately laid on beds and entered a deep, rejuvenating slumber. They had all fought beyond the limits of exhaustion. Especially the soldiers of the Special Combat Force as well as the experts under Shen Hongyang.

Xu Zhengang came to Yue Zhong and reported: "Commander! After setting up camp here, we have absorbed a total of 213 straggling soldiers. Luo Tianyi, Su Dongming, Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin have all dispersed back to the main headquarters in SY County."

Yue Zhong replied in a heavy voice: "Go carefully enquire about the abilities and skills of those stragglers. Assign them to the various battalions. Get the preparatory force to work faster on the fortifications. We don't have much time left!!"

Without fortifications and traps, especially after all the heavy weaponry had either been lost, damaged or emptied, the humans stood no chance against the horde.

Xu Zhengang replied seriously: "Yes! Commander!"

"Then I'll leave it to you! I'm taking a rest!"

After that, Yue Zhong immediately went to a huge bed and laid down before entering sleep straight away.

In that latest battle, Yue Zhong had rushed everywhere to save everybody, and had constantly pushed himself as the fighter on the foremost front line, and the head of the spear. The enhanced zombies that had died at his hands had numbered over 700, but likewise, the toll on him was the greatest. His Spirit and Stamina had been depleted constantly throughout the battle. If it wasn't for the fact that he was resilient enough, he would have fainted from exhaustion on the battlefield already.

"Damn Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi!!" Qian Weimin was currently cursing furiously.

During the hasty retreat, Qian Weimin had lost a huge number of his troops. After reaching SY County, he had only 3 companies left. The rest of the troops had either AWOL in their terror with their location unknown, or they had been chased and killed by the zombies.

A large number of the S-Type zombies had chased the troops of Shen Hongyang that had been the last to evacuate, but there were other S-Types that went on to chase the other troops.

Qian Weimin had experts himself, but they were nowhere as strong as Shen Hongyang's. Furthermore, without tanks or assault helicopters to cover them, the S2 zombies had basically wiped out his troops. As they were retreating with their lives, only after reaching SY County did he manage to grasp control of about 3 companies of his troops. He had gone to war with 2 battalions, a total of 800 people. His losses were too huge.

"Once I have rested well, I will go show those assholes!!" Qian Weimin's heart was full of fury as he thought, and walked out from the command centre in huge strides.

'Peng!' A gunshot rang out. Qian Weimin had a new hole in between his eyebrows, his face full of shock and disbelief as he slumped to the floor.

"Commander!!"

"Commander!!"

Seeing Qian Weimin murdered on the floor, the various officers rushed over and called out in anguish.

"No one moves!! Those who resist will be executed on the spot!!" All of a sudden, military soldiers rushed in from all entrances holding guns. They flooded in and occupied every part of the centre, as they pointed their guns at their past comrades.

Su Dongming called out loudly: "Qian Weimin had wantonly accepted bribes, buying over officials, conducted unauthorized interference in various affairs and had betrayed the party's trust as well as the country's trust!! He had been dealt with! You can all choose to surrender now. As long as you surrender, I promise that you will be treated fairly!"

One of the officers shouted: "Fuck you!! Su Dongming, Luo Tianyi, you bastards who betrayed us and your comrades! Brothers, let's kill them!!"

The rallying cry of the officer rattled the hearts of many soldiers, and they all took up arms and started their counter attack against Su Dongming's troops.

Both parties broke out in an intense gunfight within SY County.

Su Dongming was truly heartless, as his troops had made it back to SY County the earliest, he did not suffer much. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity, and killed those exhausted soldiers under Qian Weimin.

However, without the support from heavy artillery, the troops of Su Dongming found it hard to just take down these enraged soldiers of Qian Weimin, who had been pushed past their breaking points.

Desperate soldiers were the hardest to deal with, and they could be extremely ruthless. Especially since Qian Weimin's troops had been betrayed, and now their commander had been assassinated by Su Dongming, they were beyond anger. Therefore, even though they were exhausted, they were extremely tenacious.

On the other side, Luo Tianyi had failed in his attempt to assassinate Liu Huifeng, both parties had also started a brawl within SY County, with people dying one by one as time passed.

Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming were extremely clear, that when Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin were back, they would not let them off. Therefore, they had decided to attack first and at the proper moment, they made their move against Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin.

Under the sudden ambush by Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming, the troops of Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin suffered greatly, and were caught unprepared.

"What do we do?" The in-fighting amongst the military heads had been noticed by the 2 heads of the government, and Wen Baoguo had immediately sought out Peng Mingde's opinion.

Due to the divide and clash between the military, the police and special forces that the government commanded could become the deciding factor. As long as Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde were to command them to help out a single side, that side would definitely obtain victory.

Peng Mingde did not skip a beat as he said: "We will help neither!! This is a matter amongst themselves, let them handle it."

苏东明已经派人来联系彭明德，只要彭明德派人前来支援他，或者两不相帮。这一战之后，他和罗田翼都唯他彭明德马首是瞻。

Su Dongming had already sent people to notify Peng Mingde, requesting that Peng Mingde should send people to help him, otherwise not to interfere. After this battle, both Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi will follow Peng Mingde's lead.

After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the army would definitely have suffered. A weaker army that would obey Peng Mingde appealed to him greatly.

"That won't do! If they continue like this, the victorious side will still have suffered. This will not be beneficial to the defence of our SY County! We should make a decision now!" Wen Baoguo frowned as he urged.

Peng Mingde seemed to reply enigmatically as he said: "If you insist on interfering in this battle, then I feel that we should immediately send people to aid Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi in suppressing the others. Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi possess the strongest force now, and have already gained the advantage in this battle. If we help them, we can easily subdue Liu Huifeng and the rest. If we were to help Liu Huifeng and the rest, facing Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, we would definitely suffer more."

Wen Baoguo considered a while, before furrowing his brows even further and said: "But Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi abandoned their posts and friends to escape, and even ambushed their ex-comrades.

This type of behaviour is too despicable. How can we help these shameless bastards? Furthermore, since their characters are so untrustworthy, if during the defence of the County, they decide to evacuate, then what? We should send our men to help Liu Huifeng in exterminating Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi."

Peng Mingde frowned deeper, and his forehead formed 3 lines "": "If Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi's troops get annihilated, who will we use to defend SY County?"

Wen Baoguo's eyes flashed with determination: "If we can't defend any longer, we can leave SY County, and make for Ning Guang County. Yue Zhong's side definitely requires manpower, he would not turn down our request."

Peng Mingde could not help but spit because he absolutely 100% didn't want to loose power. "Baoguo! If we go to Ning Guang County, you won't be the mayor of SY County anymore!"

Wen Baoguo laughed lightly, as he continued to show a determined look: "Compared to the life and death of a hundred thousand people, what is the point of my position?"

Those who sat in the governing position usually saw other lives as less important than their own post. Wen Baoguo was someone who valued his authority and position greatly. Prior to the apocalypse, he had approached his superiors countless times to try for a position. However, in the face of the lives of 100,000 people, he made the tough choice, to give up his own power in exchange for the hope of life for 100,000 people.

Peng Mingde thought quietly for a while, before saying pointedly: "I'm not for sending our men to subdue Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi!"

"Then I'll bring them myself!" Wen Baoguo stood up, and turned around to walk out, he had already made up his mind.

Peng Mingde looked at Wen Baoguo's back, and his eyes flashed with a strange gaze, before turning vicious, as he swiftly pulled out a gun he had kept for self-protection, and aimed it at Wen Baoguo before firing.

Peng! Peng!!

The sounds of gunfire rang out. At such a point blank range, Wen Baoguo received 6 gunshot wounds, and he slumped to the floor in a pool of blood without even uttering a word, his eyes full of shock and regret.

[TN: Nooooo!]

Peng Mingde's hands were trembling, as his eyes seemed to have clouded with madness: "SY County is mine!! No one should think of taking it away!!! Wen Baoguo, don't blame me. Since you were in the way, you had to die!!"

Peng Mingde had grown accustomed to being one of the top in SY County. He could sleep with whomever he wanted. He could order the death of whomever he disliked, and the person would not live to see another day. He could promote whomever he liked.

All sorts of matters were under his control. He was like an emperor who decided the life, death and even glory of the common people. Countless people idolized him, tried to curry favour with him, even feared him! His power exceeded that of the Party's Secretary prior to the apocalypse. He had become drunk on that power, and was not willing to give it up. Thus he would resort to any means to protect his postion.

Peng Mingde summoned his trusted aides and experts and gave an order: "Situ Guang! Go bring people immediately to take over command of the police force. If that Zhu Liufeng is not willing to give it up, execute him immediately…"

Upon receiving Peng Mingde's orders, his henchmen immediately went to work, making their way towards one of the key sectors.

Situ Guang was a good-looking, stout 31-32 year old man that was extremely charming, he handed a document to the Special Forces leader Zhu Liufeng and said: "Zhu Liufeng! I'm here to convey Secretary General Peng's orders, to take over command of the Special Forces' 1st Unit. These are the documents!"

Zhu Liufeng received the documents and scanned it carefully, discovering that it was genuine. He rearranged the papers, before replying without a change of tone: "Situ Guang! If you want to take over my position as the leader of the Special Forces' 1st Unit, you will require Mayor Wen's signature as well. Otherwise, you're not following the rules."

Chapter 0292 – Onslaught!

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Situ Guang's eyes flashed coldly, and handed another document to Zhu Liufeng: "This is the document Mayor Wen signed!"

Zhu Liufeng felt shock in his heart, and hurriedly made to receive the document. If Wen Baoguo also really wanted to transfer him out, it would be troublesome.

"Now!" Situ Guang saw that Zhu Liufeng lowering his head, and his eyes flashed fiercely. Activating a Flame Claw skill he attacked as a pair of flaming hot claws appeared on his hands, and he made a vicious strike towards Zhu Liufeng.

Under the effect of the Flame Claw, even the covering of an armored vehicle would be punctured by him, it showed how terrifying his skill was.

Zhu Liufeng was caught unprepared, and just as his body was about to be pierced by Situ Guang, his trusted aide beside him activated his own skill Tornado, blowing harshly and sending Situ Guang flying to one side.

However the aide acted just a second too late, and Zhu Liufeng's entire right arm was penetrated by Situ Guang's Flame Claw. Nearly instantly it was burnt cleanly off his shoulder, dropping to the ground w

At the same time, the 10 experts that had followed Situ Guang immediately activated their own abilities, and charged at Zhu Liufeng and his aides.

One of the experts working for Situ Guang immediately changed into a werewolf, shooting forward in front of the aide that saved Zhu Liufeng. He used both his claws to pierce the heart of the soldier, before pulling apart with all his strength, tearing the soldier in two, splattering blood and organs all over the floor.

Another expert took out a .05 submachine gun and started firing at Zhu Liufeng's aides, and at that instant, 6 of them were hit by the bullets and fell to the floor.

All those who followed beside Zhu Liufeng were his trusted aides, there were also the experts of SY County's Special Forces, every single one of them possessing a unique ability. Each of them could hunt and kill 20 ordinary zombies with no problems, but they were definitely unable to defend against gunfire from such a close distance.

"Captain!! Quickly escape!! You must seek vengeance for us!!" One of the experts who had telekinesis erected a psychic barrier in front of the remaining members of the 1st unit, as he hollered out in grief.

As the bullets landed on the psychic barrier, they were deflected.

One of the Strength-based Enhancers directly swung a huge hammer weighing over 50kg (100 jin) onto the psychic barrier.

With a huge 'hong', the body of the Telekinesis user shuddered, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. There were a lot of pros in utilizing the Telekinesis ability, but the defence was based on the amount of Spirit the user had. The moment the force exceeded what the Spirit could take, the user will suffer backlash.

With the support of the Telekinesis user covering the rear, the remaining 4 aides of Zhu Liufeng immediately brought him and left the centre swiftly.

In this battle, they had suffered greatly under Situ Guang's despicable sneak attack.

Under the continuous bombardment of attacks by Situ Guang's group of experts, the Telekinesis user managed to hold on for another 3 seconds before being beaten down, and the expert wielding the hammer swung his weapon viciously, smashing the Telekinesis user into a pulp.

After decimating the entire group of the 1st Unit, the werewolf expert brought another 5 Enhancers with him and chased after the 4 who brought Zhu Liufeng away.

Situ Guang went around subduing the members of the Special Forces in the government's name to gather everyone, so that the control lies with Peng Mingde.

Peng Mingde then proceeded to send experts to the various parts of SY County to clear up the other factions of Wen Baoguo. Those who used to throw their weight in with Wen Baoguo were either annihilated or surrendered to Peng Mingde.

In the chaos that ensued, there were a few factions that seized the opportunity to fight, in an effort to expand their own force. There were a few other factions who also saw the chance to launch sneak attacks on other factions, to seize their weapons and rations, forming their own powers. The entire SY County was going down in a mess.

Most of the ordinary survivors hid in their homes, as they trembled and looked on at the ongoings of SY County. Amidst the chaos, several mobs took to the streets and wreaked havoc, committing vandalism and theft, giving in to the inner demons of their hearts. Even prior to the apocalypse, there would be people who were like that during times of chaos and strife, and now during the post-apocalypse, there was no difference. In fact, following the change of the world, there were many more people who joined in the mobs than compared to the past.

After obtaining control of the police, the armed police as well as the special forces, Peng Mingde then deployed them to suppress the chaos in the County. When those policemen arrived, they were extremely harsh on those mobs, immediately executing those who were wreaking havoc. Regardless of the power behind them, when dealing with these troublemakers who liked to take advantage, the moment one captured them, one cannot be merciful.

After deploying the police force to suppress the trouble within the county, Peng Mingde then sent the Special Forces the first chance he got to assist Su Dongmind and Luo Tianyi in subduing Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng's troops.

The fighting capabilities of the Special Forces were also tyrannical. There were elite snipers that were a vital part of the force, the moment they entered the fray, the troops of Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng felt the pressure intensify, being wiped out was only a matter of time.

"Commander!!" Xu Zhengang came to Yue Zhong's side and woke him up from his slumber.

As White Bones already possess some basic intelligence, it did not feel any killing intent from Xu Zhengang and thus, did not hinder his actions.

Yue Zhong opened his eyes immediately and jumped down from the bed and asked: "What is it, Battalion Commander Xu?"

Yue Zhong knew that they were in the midst of a crisis, and thus had slept with his clothes intact.

Xu Zhengang continued: "The soldiers of Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng had been ambushed by Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi's troops. Qian Weimin had been assassinated, while Liu Huifeng had suffered a serious injury. Right now, there are soldiers from Liu Huifeng and Su Dongming outside, and they are seeking your audience."

"Take me there immediately!"

Yue Zhong quickly arrived in front of the 2 envoys by the 2 sides of the military.

一名身穿军装，身高一米八五官端正，皮肤黝黑，十分拥有军人气质的男子向着岳重说道："岳团长！我是柳师长麾下第一营第二连连长李华！！我们师和钱卫民师都被苏东明、罗田翼这两个大叛徒带兵伏击，损失惨重。希望岳团长能够出兵相助，帮我们干掉那些叛徒。事成之后，必有重谢！"

A 1.85m-tall, dark-skinned man with defined features and soldier-like demeanor spoke out first: "Commander Yue! I am Li Hua, the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Company under Commander Liu's First Battalion!! Our regiment as well as Qian Weimin's regiment had been ambushed by the traitors Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, and have suffered great losses. We hope that Commander Yue can lend a helping hand, and help us clean out these traitorous scums. After the matter is settled, we will show our appreciation!"

Another similar-dressed soldier, with a bit of a refined aura, directly stated some offers for Yue Zhong's assistance: "Commander Yue! I am Le Minghai, Chief of Staff under Luo Tianyi! As long as you send your troops to help us annihilate Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng's troops, we are willing to send you 300 beautiful virgins, 10,000 tonnes of rations, and help you train up personnels to handle artillery and tanks. At the same time, you may take in another 60,000 survivors from SY County."

Compared to Liu Huifeng's side where the conditions were not too clear, Luo Tianyi's side had indeed come up with an attractive offer. Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming knew how to work negotiations to their advantage.

Hearing the conditions that Le Minghai had stated, Li Hua's expression fell.

Le Minghai had a look of confidence as he looked at Yue Zhong. He believed Yue Zhong would accept his proposition gladly. After all, Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng were about to be defeated, they were down to their last leg. Yue Zhong just had to deliver the last strike, and could easily annihilate the 2 factions, after which, he would gain immeasurable benefits.

Yue Zhong heard Le Minghai's words, and revealed a cold smile: "Go back and tell Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, there's only one road in front of them now. That is to surrender unconditionally. If they continue to put up a resistance, only death awaits. If it wasn't for the clash between your 2 armies, I would have already executed you. Get lost!"

2 soldiers walked over, and grabbed onto Le Minghai like he was a dead dog and dragged him out.

Le Minghai's expression changed, as he shouted out fearfully: "Commander Yue!! Commander Yue, let's talk things out!! We can still discuss the terms!!"

Yue Zhong then spoke in a heavy voice: "Battalion Commander Xu! Immediately deploy Ning Guang County's 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 4th Battalion to attack Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi!"

"Yes! Commander!" Xu Zhengang responded, and immediately left to convey the orders.

Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi had abandoned their posts without a single word, infuriating Yue Zhong. Furthermore, if he could take them out now, the entire SY County would fall into Yue Zhong's hands. By then, he could take whatever he wants, instead of waiting for people to give it to him.

Li Hua seemed as though he had just escaped hell and entered heaven, with a look of ecstasy and immediately thanked Yue Zhong profusely: "Thank you!! Commander Yue!! Your magnanimity and help, we will definitely not forget!!"

"Go back and take command!" Yue Zhong left one more sentence, before he went out.

Li Hua swiftly left the area, and went back to his own troop.

Under Xu Zhengang's leadership, the 2nd, 3rd battalion immediately joined in the fray, launching their ferocious assault on the troops of Su Dongming.

Yue Zhong's 2nd and 3rd Battalions have recovered most of their energy after resting for a few hours. With the coordination and joint efforts of the remaining members of Qian Weimin's army, they continuously subdued and conquered many areas.

Su Dongming's troops had went through an entire day's battle, followed the retreat in the night, and then a fierce battle with Qian Weimin's troops for a few hours. They were already beyond the point of exhaustion, the moment Yue Zhong's troops joined in, Su Dongming's forces were broken through repeatedly. Especially Yue Zhong's troops had the support of 12 Howitzers, and every time the troops charged in, they would face the fierce bombardment of rockets or missiles.

With the relentless attacks from the Ning Guang County's 2nd and 3rd Battalions, Su Dongming's troops quickly lost their will to fight, and started to retreat and tried to escape towards different directions.

Some of the soldiers that were broken down even threw down their weapons, tore off their uniforms and became normal survivors. Some directly surrendered to Yue Zhong's troops. They had already fought for an entire day and night, and were extremely tired. Facing the constant attacks from the heavy artillery, they lost the will to fight on.

After defeating Su Dongming's troops in one fell swoop, the 2nd and 3rd Battalion then made their way towards Luo Tianyi under the command of Xu Zhengang.

Under the fierce attacks of the 2nd and 3rd Battalion, Luo Tianyi's troops also collapsed. However, within the troops of Luo Tianyi, there were some Special Forces soldiers that Peng Mingde that had assigned to aid Luo Tianyi. That was why they could forcefully maintained some sort of resistance.

3 of the soldiers from Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion proceeded cautiously through a street with covers.

All of a sudden, one of the Agility-based Enhancers under Luo Tianyi jumped out from a corner, his hands wielding a .05 submachine gun, firing at the 3 soldiers wildly. A hail of bullets flew through the air and penetrated the Mutant Boar Hide they wore, causing them to fall to the ground.

After taking down those 3 soldiers, that Agility-based Enhancer immediately made his way to another corner.

When the Enhancer experts of Luo Tianyi engaged Yue Zhong's soldiers in a fierce battle, they might have dispersed under the pressure of the huge army, yet they also managed to kill a number of ordinary soldiers under Yue Zhong. Those experts would not stay too long at a single location, and thus the heavy artillery also posed little threat to them.

Xu Zhengang received the feedback from the frontlines, and he immediately deployed the entire unit, and did not let any single team entire riskily. Instead, he chose to proceed and push slowly as entire force.

A Special Forces elite sniper was proning on a rooftop of a bungalow, aiming at a small soldier, it was going to be the 6th kill for him today. The other 5 targets had already died at his hands with their heads exploding. He licked his lips, as his finger twitched and rested on the trigger.

With a 'peng', the Special Forces elite sniper's head had a new hole, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock. He was actually sniped by someone else.

At the rooftop far away, Bai He swiftly got up from his position, and left this sniping spot, before searching for his next target.

Yue Zhong had sent his Special Combat Forces soldiers that had just rest for awhile into the battlefield, and the ones to be taken out first had to be the snipers! The snipers posed the most danger to Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces. Just a single elite sniper could threaten a number of experts under Yue Zhong.

Amongst the Special Combat Forces, they had only about 8 elite snipers, led by Bai He. Together with the snipers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalion, they started massacring all the snipers of Luo Tianyi.

Yue Zhong himself activated his Encompassing Bone Armor, and like a tank, he directly charged into the midst of the experts within a post of Luo Tianyi, all by himself.

The experts under Luo Tianyi saw Yue Zhong rushing into their post with his bone armor, and the sniper immediately started firing at will, attempting to kill him.

Chapter 0293 – The Supremely Tyrannical Yue Zhong!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition,

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The Special Forces, as well as the 7 snipers under Luo Tianyi aimed at Yue Zhong and fired the first chance they got.

Right as they aimed at Yue Zhong, he had already sensed the danger, and dashed to the right swiftly.

The 7 bullets missed him and hit the ground, creating 7 small holes.

On the other side, Bai He led 8 other snipers and they fired at the same time.

Following the 2nd round of gunshots, the Special Forces and 4 snipers under Luo Tianyi had their brains blasted into pieces.

When Yue Zhong was forced to evade, 2 Agility-based Enhancers could not stand waiting behind cover and immediately charged out while hoisting their .05 submachine guns as they fired wildly at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong just stood there like some Demon Lord incarnate, as the bullets bounced right off his Bone Armor. He opened his right hand, and 5 incredibly sharp spikes shot outwards, and with a little force the 2 Agility-based Enhancers were immediately sliced in 5 pieces.

After disposing of the 2 Enhancers easily, he continued charging forwards like a tank, gunning for Luo Tianyi's position.

"He is Yue Zhong!! Join me and take him down! Once he's killed, the rest will collapse!!" The top expert hired by Luo Tianyi, Chen Xiong saw Yue Zhong rushing in, and he hollered to the remaining 17 experts of his group.

The Bone Armor on Yue Zhong had become like his symbol. The moment Chen Xiong saw it, he recognized Yue Zhong, and he was immediately filled with killing intent.

If Yue Zhong had not appeared, they would have definitely lost the battle. The only question was how much damage could they deal to Yue Zhong's troops before they lost. Now that he was personally here, it gave them a chance to turn the tides.

[TN: What a joke HAHAHA]

The 18 experts, with Chen Xiong leading the charge, all stepped out from behind their cover, as they wielded all sorts of weapons and charged towards Yue Zhong.

"You're looking for death!" Yue Zhong looked at the soldiers charging at him and his eyes possessed a cold gleam. Swiping his ring, he swiftly pulled out a PF98 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher in his hands.

With a roar and flash, a rocket swiftly flew out and exploded on one of the experts who was not wielding any weapons, preparing to use his Telekinesis ability.

With a loud explosion, the Telekinesis user was immediately blasted into pieces.

At the next moment, a huge vine burrowed out from the ground, shooting towards Yue Zhong. It was the Vine Manipulation ability of one of the Enhancers present.

3 other Strength-based Enhancers directly lifted their heavy weapons and rushed towards Yue Zhong.

There were 2 experts who had high levels in their Firearms Control, one was holding grenade launcher, and he fired at Yue Zhong. Due to the Firearms Control ability, they had superb aim, within a range of 100m, they would definitely hit their target.

6 Agility-based Enhancers activated their Shadow Steps and High Speed Movement abilities to charge at Yue Zhong. They knew normal bullets would not be able to hurt Yue Zhong, and since they did not carry any other weapons with them, they had to become a form of attack themselves.

A Spirit-based Enhancer tried to use his Spirit Blast ability, only to discover that it was useless. As a Spirit-based Evolver, Yue Zhong's Spirit was averaging 11 times higher spirit than normal people, and the Spirit Blast attack from the Enhancer was simply ridiculous.

2 other Enhancers that possess the Summon Beast skill summoned a huge bear that towered over 2m, as well as a huge tiger. Both beasts shot towards Yue Zhong.

Other than that, there was a Enhancer with the Curse ability and he was currently chanting, as a magical symbol appeared in the sky, signifying the forming of a magic spell.

Chen Xiong himself was a Strength-based Evolver, and his Strength was beyond comparison. He wore the hide of a Type 2 Mutant Black Fish (They had earlier hunted a Type 2 Mutant Black Fish as well) that was remade into an armor piece, his head donning a helmet, and he carried a QJZ89 easily as he fired wildly at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong eyes stared icily, as he activated his Devil Flames, and a huge fireball was conjured out of thin air, immediately incinerating the vine below him. With just a wave of his hand, 5 Bone Spears were shot towards the 5 Agility-based Enhancers.

In that instant, the 5 bone spears pierced the heads of those 5 Agility-based Enhancers, stringing them up, and nailing them to the ground.

Chen Xiong was firing wildly with his QJZ89 at Yue Zhong, yet those bullets that could pierce holes in armored tanks, could only leave faint white scars on Yue Zhong's Bone Armor, at the same time the resulting explosion blew Yue Zhong back by a few metres.

Chen Xiong discovered that the hail of firepower could not do a single thing to Yue Zhong, and his eyes were filled with shock: "How is this possible?? This is actually heavy ammunition, why is it that his defence could not be broken??"

Yue Zhong flashed about, and dodged the countless bullets and grenades, shooting towards Chen Xiong and activating his Devil Flame Skill again. A huge Devil Flame Tornado conjured out of thin air, and it consumed Chen Xiong, the 2 summoned beasts, as well as the 3 Strength-based Enhancers.

After the fire storm stopped, Chen Xiong and the 3 Strength-based Enhancers had been incinerated, even the QJZ89 in Chen Xiong's hands had melted into a pool of metal. Only the armour made of the Type 2 Mutant Black Fish was intact, which showed the freakish defence of the beast.

"I surrender!! Don't kill me!! I surrender!!" The remaining Agility-based Enhancer saw how tyrannical Yue Zhong was, that even Chen Xiong could not last a second, and he was so frightened that he immediately kneeled on the floor and threw his weapon down, bawling loudly.

Yue Zhong glanced at the Enhancer who lost his fighting will, and pointed at the Enhancer with the Curse Ability, as a fireball shot out and directly exploded on his head, causing his head to disappear.

"Surrender, or death! You have 3 seconds to make your decision!" Yue Zhong turned his head and looked at the remaining experts of Luo Tianyi coldly as he called out.

"I surrender, don't kill me!!!'

"Commander Yue!! I surrender! I surrender!"

The experts that were gathered by Luo Tianyi had hurriedly kneeled on the floor in fright. Yue Zhong's vicious methods had caused them to lose their courage. They did not dare put up any further resistance.

Yue Zhong eyed those Enhancers that submitted to him and said: "Good! Charge into Luo Tianyi's position!! I want them thoroughly wiped out."

"Yes!! Commander Yue!!!"

"Yes!!"

The remaining 7 experts quickly acknowledged and followed behind Yue Zhong to charge into Luo Tianyi's base.

With Yue Zhong leading this group, they quickly arrived in front of Luo Tianyi.

The Enhancer with the Spirit Blast ability immediately used his ability on those soldiers of Luo Tianyi when he saw them, and most of them died on the spot with their eyes turning white and leaking blood tears before throwing up blood and dying.

Ulamog: I am SO not mopping that up.

The 2 summoning experts immediately called out 10 huge wolves. On orders they shot forward with incredible speed, charging into the ranks of the soldiers and gleefully ripping out their throats.

The Agility-based Enhancer zipped about, appearing from behind corners and used his guns to great effect, picking off the soldiers one by one.

The Enhancer that had the Vine Manipulation ability was extremely crafty as well. Using his power from time to time, he would cause his vines to burrow out of the ground, penetrating the ordinary soldiers feet or suddenly growing up into their bodies, killing them.

Yue Zhong was still decked in his Bone Armor, wielding his .05 submachine guns and charging in the front. With only his individual strength, he managed to suppress the troops of Luo Tianyi. Those soldiers who were unfortunate to poke their heads out would immediately be shot in the head by him.

With only this small group of experts led by Yue Zhong, the entire army of Luo Tianyi was defeated.

Xu Zhengang saw the development, and immediately ordered the 2nd and 3rd Battalion to join the battle, making their way towards Luo Tianyi in a rush.

Luo Tianyi's troops as well as the Special Forces could not maintain their resistance, and started to retreat towards SY County.

As Yue Zhong's troops were hot in pursuit, a group consisting of the police, armed police and Special Forces had constructed a few defences, forcefully impeding the advance of Yue Zhong's 2nd and 3rd Battalion.

Peng Mingde personally came to the frontlines, and made use of a loudhailer to speak to Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong!! I am Peng Mingde!! I want you to call off your army now!! This is an internal matter between our factions in SY County, you shouldn't interfere too much."

Peng Mingde continued in his self-righteous voice: "Commander Liu, Commander Shen, things can be talked through. We should settle this amicably over a meeting, and stop the pointless slaughter amongst ourselves. If you continue, the soldiers are the ones who suffer. They are all important and excellent soldiers, if they had to die, it should be during a battle against the zombies, for the sake of our country. Not in these internal conflicts. Just because of your own fury, you guys have caused the needless deaths of so many soldiers, don't you feel ashamed?"

Peng Mingde was after all a politician, and whenever he spoke, he tried to use logic and reason to sway the masses. Hearing Peng Mingde's words, the troops of Qian Weimin and Liu Huifeng were moved.

Liu Huifeng eyes went red as he grabbed a loudhailer and shouted: "Peng Mingde! Fuck your bullshit! Today your daddy, I, want the heads of those bastards Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi! Because of them, so many of our brothers have died. If they're not dead, your words are meaningless!!"

Peng Mingde had a strange glint in his eyes: "As long as Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi are dead, you will not pursue the matter?"

Liu Huifeng replied loudly: "Of course!! As long as the 2 of them are dead! Your daddy, I, won't continue fighting!"

Chapter 0294 – Conquering SY County

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition,

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

"Good! Make sure you keep your word!!" Peng Mingde's mouth raised in an arc, as he waved his hands, and 2 Special Forces brought out Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi in front of the 2 armies.

Su Dongming's expression was steely, as he cursed out: "Peng Mingde! You damn bastard, you will die a horrible death!!"

Luo Tianyi's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Peng Mingde: "Peng Mingde!! Fuck you and your entire family! Fuck your mother with a pointy stick!!!"

The moment Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi had retreated, they were immediately captured by the experts sent by Peng Mingde. They did not expect that the allies that had helped them not long ago would turn on them so quickly.

Peng Mingde spoke in a clear voice: "Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi had abandoned their posts during the great battle, and had instigated a coup against their allies, there is evidence to prove it. For their crimes, they will be executed according to military law! Carry out the punishment!!"

2 armed police stepped out and aimed their guns at the heads of Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, and pulled the trigger!

Bang! Bang!

Following the gunshots, Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi had a new hole in their heads leaking blood, as they slumped to the floor lifelessly.

Peng Mingde looked on as Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi died, his eyes flashed with delight. After their deaths, he could easily subdue the old troops of these 2 men. Counting the police, armed police and Special Forces that he now controlled, he could become the strongest power in SY County.

Liu Huifeng and Shen Hongyang had already been defeated, he would possess the strongest force. He could then employ other means in the future to slowly take over their military as well and thoroughly control SY County.

Liu Huifeng looked at the lifeless bodies of Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, and he finally released the bit of anger he had kept, but at the same time, he felt the loss.

Right at this time, Yue Zhong brought his Special Forces and charged into the ranks of Liu Huifeng, pointing a gun at Liu Huifeng and spoke coldly: "Commander Liu! You have 2 choices now! The first is to surrender to me, and integrate into my troops. The other is to die with your troops!"

At almost the same time Yue Zhong made his move, Ning Guang County's 2nd and 3rd Battalions also turned on the troops of Liu Huifeng.

Qian Weimin's troops had already been captured and locked after they were saved by Yue Zhong.

Liu Huifeng looked at the gun pointed at his head and he laughed bitterly: "If I surrender, what will become of my subordinates?"

Yue Zhong did not hide anything and said: "All the soldiers will receive education, and reintegrate into many different units under me. I will treat them fairly!"

Liu Huifeng's troops were veteran soldiers that Yue Zhong valued. Initially, Yue Zhong had sent troops to help Liu Huifeng because he was eyeing the veterans.

Liu Huifeng seemed to be agreeable, and he asked: "What about me, what treatment will I receive if I surrender?"

Yue Zhong sincerely extended his invitation: "You will get to enjoy the privileges of a Lieutenant Colonel. Furthermore, I would like to invite you to become a military instructor in my military school, and provide training to my officers in all forms of modern warfare."

Yue Zhong's military school lacked the guidance of an experienced military instructor, and he had no choice but to select outstanding commanders like Xu Zhengang to be on the frontlines often. The reasoning was of course to lead his military, save survivors and engage in resource hunting. The military academy did lack an instructor with the adequate experience and knowledge in modern warfare.

Yue Zhong had obtained many incredible equipments from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade after all, but he lacked the professional knowledge, and hence could not utilize them. If he had the necessary technicians, his units' combat prowess would definitely increase by a few times.

Yue Zhong had done his investigations, and although Liu Huifeng was kind of a pervert, and had married 3 wives after the apocalypse, his character was not bad. The 3 wives also followed him willingly. Although he did not have any outstanding achievements in his command, he followed the rules, and was extremely sturdy as a leader. He did possess the qualifications as a Commander.

Liu Huifeng laughed lightly, and replied light-heartedly: "Sure! I surrender!"

Liu Huifeng surrendered and his troops also put down their weapons and went with Yue Zhong willingly. Liu Huifeng's troops had fought for a very long time, and when they arrived at the rooms assigned to them, they fell into a deep slumber.

Shen Hongyang looked at the loaded gun in front of him and said: "What is the meaning of this?"

At this moment, Shen Hongyang, Shen Xue and a few of their military officers were being surrounded at their place of residence. A few heavy weapons were aimed at them, and 300 soldiers had enclosed the area, not allowing even water to trickle past.

Zhang Niujiang stepped up and spoke directly: "Commander Shen! I apologize, but we have to keep you here. We have already arranged for all sorts of heavy artillery to aim here, if there's any strange movement, then we're terribly sorry, but we will blast you guys to death."

Shen Hongyang was a good commander who treated his subordinates fairly. If he was taken down, the troops would definitely not follow Yue Zhong willingly, and Yue Zhong would have no choice but to kill them all. Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily trap Shen Hongyang. Of course, if Shen Hongyang really decided to try something, Yue Zhong would not hesitate to wipe him out.

Shen Hongyang looked at Zhang Niujiang, as he furrowed his brows and asked softly: "Battalion Commander Zhang! Is Yue Zhong finally going to make his move on SY County?"

This time SY County had suffered a huge loss against the zombies, all the military heads had lost the majority of their troops. Yue Zhong who had always kept his eye on SY County could find no better time to subdue them all.

The laws of the jungle, the strong preyed on the weak. Even after the apocalypse, it had not changed. As long as someone revealed his or her weakness, there would be countless hungry wolves that would pounce at the first opportunity. When Yue Zhong was weak, SY County had wanted to conquer and subdue him. Now he was stronger than them, he naturally would not hesitate to do the same. Only when both sides possessed the same strength, could there be equality and peaceful negotiations.

Zhang Niujiang had a worshipping look as he affirmed the news: "Yes! Our Boss Yue wants to control the whole SY County!"

Shen Hongyang sighed, and did not speak further. Now that Yue Zhong had set his mind on it, and was willing to pay any price, controlling the entire SY County was not an impossible task.

On the frontlines, Peng Mingde eyed Yue Zhong's army that still had not retreated, and a bad feeling arose in his heart, as of now, the only person that could stop him from being the king of SY was Yue Zhong.

Peng Mingde raised the loudhailer and called out: "Commander Liu, Yue Zhong, are you guys there? Let's have a good discussion!!"

Yue Zhong walked out with huge strides and eyed Peng Mingde and said lightly: "Peng Mingde! Surrender now! If you get your men to surrender, I can still leave you with a way out."

Peng Mingde's face had a huge chance, as he forcefully replied: "Yue Zhong, what are you talking about? Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi who had betrayed you guys have already been dealt with right? What reasons would you have to continue fighting!! Don't tell me you're thinking of betraying your comrades and the government?! If you're like this, you will become a sinner that went against his country and citizens!!"

"Attack! Annihilate those who dare resist!" Yue Zhong waved his hand, and shouted out the command.

With a 'bang'!

A bloody bullet hole appeared in Peng Mingde's head, as he fell to the floor.

Bai He had hidden himself 2km away and exhibited his fearsome sniping skills, directly taking out Peng Mingde who had carelessly revealed his position.

Following Yue Zhong's orders, 12 Howitzers displayed their incredible offense, as rounds of heavy artillery landed amongst the police force.

Bombarded by the attacks of the rockets, a huge number of the police, armed police and Special Forces were immediately incinerated. The death of Peng Mingde, who they had sworn loyalty to, caused them to lose their morale.

The members of the police force tried escaping under the relentless attacks, abandoning all thoughts of resistance.

Xu Zhengang had ordered the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to charge at the desolate soldiers of Peng Mingde.

The battle lasted only for a while, and Yue Zhong was incredibly successful. Everywhere he went, the police surrendered without a fight. Those who tried to resist were instantly executed by the soldiers of Yue Zhong's forces.

This group of policemen, armed police and Special Forces had been so easy to subdue was precisely because Peng Mingde had been assassinated. The other reason was that due to Peng Mingde wanting to exert his full control over this unit, he had cleared out many of the officials, and all the members of the unit were feeling fearful and naturally did not have much fighting spirit.

"Boss Situ! What do we do now?" Peng Mingde's 20 experts had gathered by Situ Guang's side, as they all looked to him fearfully.

The experts gathered by Peng Mingde were fighters who could take on 10 individually, but compared to Yue Zhong's army, it was like a mantis trying to block a car. They could at most give Yue Zhong a little trouble.

Situ Guang's eyes had a strange glint: "We can't stay here any longer!! We have already done so much for Peng Mingde. Let us leave now. Under the broad sky, based on our abilities, can't we carve something out for ourselves?"

Situ Guang had always been wild at heart. With Peng Mingde's death, no one could hold him back any longer.

"Good! We will follow Boss Situ and make a name for ourselves!"

"Let's go obtain a stronghold for ourselves!!"

The 20 members of the elite group whooped in delight, and under the lead of Situ Guang, they made their escape towards the distance.

As SY County was really big, Situ Guang just had to follow the longer road and could avoid the bridge that Guo Quan was guarding to leave the county. Although the huge lands were filled with zombies, to experts like them, as long as the number did not exceed tens of thousands, ordinary zombies were helpless against them.

With the escape of Situ Guang and his gang, the entire SY County had no other experts left to stand up to Yue Zhong. His troops quickly conquered and controlled the important channels of SY County. At the same time, any form of rebellion or mobs that arose were quickly quelled by him.

After gaining control of SY County, Yue Zhong swiftly gave the order for his troops to rejuvenate themselves. At the same time, he assigned for the preliminary warriors to quickly begin work on the entrance of SY City and SY County. The horde of zombies were making their way here, and he had to make his preparations fast.

[TN: Somehow I feel that Situ Guang and the Lie Tianyang might join forces. Also, here, it's expressly stated that the place they are in is SY City, whereas the entire SY County is the whole area. So they're guarding the City now.]

Chapter 0295 – The Urgent 12 Hours

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

"How much longer until the horde reaches us?" Yue Zhong asked the recon soldier in front of him in a heavy tone.

The recon soldier immediately replied: "Based on their current speed, it would take them roughly 12 hours to reach our first line of defence!"

Yue Zhong looked at the bloodshot eyes of the soldier and said: "Go have a good rest!!"

"Yes Commander!" The soldier saluted and withdrew quickly.

"Just 12 hours? It's really too rushed!!" Yue Zhong frowned, his heart filled with anxiety.

The horde that was coming closer to SY numbered in the 800,000s. Based on the current fighting strength of SY County, they would not be able to withstand the assault of that number. Although Yue Zhong absorbed the remaining military unit and police unit, the total number of fighters reaching 1,300, they could not be deployed straightaway. The 4 battalions of Yue Zhong had engaged the zombies previously, and had to escape with their lives, followed by the internal conflicts, they were extremely tired as well. Furthermore, the heavy weapons belonging to the military had been left behind during the battle against the zombies, without heavy weaponry or fortification, trying to defend against the sea of zombies was simply impossible.

It was a situation where he had to give up SY County. However, the current 140,000 survivors inside, having to transfer them was also a huge issue.

Firstly, to gather all 140,000 was a problem in itself. As Yue Zhong had just disposed of the governing head Peng Mingde, the entire government had become paralyzed. Many officials had fled their posts, those who stayed behind were wary and unsure of their future. Since the government was ineffective now, trying to mobilize all 140,000 survivors would definitely require more time.

Yue Zhong told a signal officer to convey his orders: "Go get Tai Yiyan, Cheng Peipei, Lu Chenguang, Liu Yujiao, Yun Qiang, Shen Hongyang and bring them here. I want to see them here within 20 minutes. Tell them, if they aren't here after 20 minutes, they can forget about finding me in the future."

The signal officer nodded and immediately left to carry out his duty.

Yue Zhong then pulled Chen Shitou over and questioned him: "Chen Shitou! Go get the 8th Battalion and gather the survivors. Take those from Xinyang Street, Zhongshan Street, Yanjing Street and Xijian Street, and gather them up. After thats done, transfer them according to order over the riverbank bridge and get them to Ning Guang County. How much time do you need?"

Chen Shitou thought for awhile, before looking at Yue Zhong resolutely and replied: "6 hours!! Please give me 6 hours! I promise to carry it out properly!"

Yue Zhong was a little short-tempered and he shouted out: "4 hours! I will only give you 4 hours!! After those 4 hours, you better be taking those people across the bridge!! After they cross the bridge, give every single one of them a can of Type 2 Meat. Eat as they move! If you can't complete this, you can forget about being a battalion commander anymore!!"

Yue Zhong only had 12 hours to work with, and he had to gather all 140,000 survivors within 12 hours, it was extremely difficult. What's more, he had to get them across the riverbank bridge that was not exactly wide.

Other than those 140,000, there were the few 100,000 tonnes of rations, various other foods, precious machinery, other kinds of production materials that required transportation as well. These were all important items to be sent out of SY County.

Every minute every second counted, and time was extremely precious. If there wasn't enough time to transport all 140,000 people over the bridge, Yue Zhong had to get his precious soldiers to fight and buy precious time for the transportation to be carried out. That kind of price where he had to put his life and his soldiers' lives on the line, was something he was not willing to pay so easily. The immense pressure was weighing down on Yue Zhong, and it caused him to be frustrated, and his temper was shorter.

After all, Yue Zhong was only human. Even though he had gained a lot of enhancements through his own efforts, these 2 days he had been fighting on the frontline as much as he could, and his rest time was extremely short. Under that huge pressure, he was naturally less amiable.

Chen Shitou frowned, and he asked directly: "What do I do if those survivors don't want to co-operate?"

In this world, there are many types of people, some who liked to wreak havoc under the pressure of imminent danger, and there would definitely be accidents.

Yue Zhong replied with an icy voice: "I'll permit you to use any means to complete this mission. I only want results, I don't care about the process!"

Chen Shitou shuddered in his heart as replied loudly: "Yes! I will perform this well!!"

After making the promise, Chen Shitou quickly ran out from the small room. 4 hours, was incredibly tough and urgent for him.

Within 20 minutes, Tai Yiyan, Cheng Peipei, Lu Chenguang, Liu Yujiao, Yun Qiang and Shen Hongyang had all gathered in front of Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong was the controller of SY County now, a single order could cause their entire family to be razed to the ground, they could not afford to offend him.

Yue Zhong glanced at Tai Yiyan and the other 4 excluding Shen Hongyang and said: "Tai Yiyan, Cheng Peipei, Lu Chenguang, Liu Yujiao and Yun Qiang, when you go back, immediately gather all the survivors towards the riverbank bridge and await orders! The more survivors that are gathered that, the better I'll reward you after."

The Tai family, Cheng family, Lu family, Liu Yujiao and Yun Qiang had decent authority within SY County. Yue Zhong could only make use of these heads to quickly mobilize the numerous survivors within the city, as he was not yet the widely accepted leader unlike in Ning Guang County and Qing Yuan County.

Tai Yiyan was astute and could detect some hint of urgency within Yue Zhong's words and asked: "Brother Yue, did something happen?"

The other 5 picked up on Tai Yiyan's concern and also looked towards Yue Zhong. They had felt that something was wrong. Yue Zhong was never this anxious, and his words revealed that his current mood.

Yue Zhong had a dark look as he said softly: "After 11 hours, the zombie horde of SY County will reach the city. That is to say, SY City has only 11 hours left."

Hearing Yue Zhong's words, all of the 6 people present had a huge change in expression. They did not expect that things would be dire to this extent.

When the army was defeated, and the clash amongst the heads happened, under those conditions, the huge horde of zombies were basically unhindered and had no enemies. SY City was basically a sitting duck.

Cheng Peipei knew Yue Zhong would not lie about such a grave matter, but she still could not help and ask: "Is this real, Yue Zhong?"

"Yes!" Yue Zhong looked towards Shen Hongyang who was kept prisoner in his own home earlier, and immediately stated his terms: "Commander Shen! I apologize for the treatment earlier. I had no choice then, and I need your help now."

Yue Zhong stared fixedly at Shen Hongyang and said softly: "As long as you send your troops and help us tide this over, I just want 10 tanks, 7 assault helicopters and their support personnel. After we're done with this, I can let you and your troops take a fixed amount of ammo, 2 tonnes of fuel, a 100 tonnes of food and leave. Wherever you want to go, I would definitely not stop you."

Although Yue Zhong valued the veterans under Shen Hongyang, if he were to kill Shen Hongyang now, he would not dare to utilize the troops. Shen Hongyang's position within his troops was still very high. Killing Shen Hongyang would just force the remaining troops to take up arms against Yue Zhong.

Shen Hongyang smiled lightly, as he looked at Yue Zhong, his eyes twinkling with a little pride: "If I cannot even protect the citizens, how can my troops be called an army? This time even if I help you, it isn't for anything else, but the citizens of SY County. After this battle, I am willing to hand my troops to you, but I hope that you will treat them fairly."

When compared to Su Dongming and Luo Tianyi, Shen Hongyang was truly different, he valued his subordinates, and was truly a commander who fought for his country. Even in a world where values and principles were trampled upon, Shen Hongyang was still someone who stuck to his beliefs, even if it was a little naive.

Yue Zhong was surprised, and he nodded: "Fine! Don't worry. I will definitely treat them fairly!!"

After the meeting concluded, the 6 people quickly left the place and embarked on their duties.

Yue Zhong also released all the troops under Shen Hongyang that were captured, and returned their light weapons to them. As for heavy weapons, each person was allocated a grenade only.

Without heavy weapons, Shen Hongyang's troops did not pose a threat to Yue Zhong, the only people they had to be wary of, were the experts.

Under Yue Zhong's orders, the entire SY City had begun moving.

The 2000-over soldiers at the forefront of SY City were currently using whatever materials they had to construct their fortifications. All sorts of barbed wires, steel wires, barricades, cones, even some old-fashioned defences were brought out.

The barricades and traffic cones were simple and crude but were extremely efficient against the ordinary zombies. To Yue Zhong's troops, the ordinary zombies were the toughest to deal with, instead of the evolved ones, due to their numbers. The ordinary zombies gave an impression that they were endless. If it wasn't for the huge numbers of the ordinary zombies, the military would have annihilated the evolved zombies long ago.

On the riverbank bridge, there were numerous vehicles constantly transporting food and rations over to the other side, placing them down, and then using the bridge to re-enter SY City and continue their moving.

Once the rations were transported to the other end, they were safe for the time being.

Within SY City, Chen Shitou and Tai Yiyan were gathering people near the bridge, separating them into groups of male, women, elderly and children.

After the apocalypse, there were still the elderly around, although their numbers were not high, being about 5% of the total number of survivors.

Guo Quan assigned soldiers to guard the bridge. It was after all the lifeline for Yue Zhong's troops, if something were to happen to it, Yue Zhong and his army would be trapped in SY City. If they wanted to go to Ning Guang County from there, they would have to go by a detour of around 100 km, going into dangerous areas which they had not yet explored.

After making a series of arrangement, Yue Zhong handed over the running of the tasks to Da Gouzi. He had always been assisting Yue Zhong in overseeing affairs and transfer of goods and people. In fact was extremely familiar with all the different types of jobs. With the help of Da Gouzi, Yue Zhong could also heave a sigh of relief.

Yue Zhong walked out of the office, and felt that the horizon looked a little dark. He lifted his head, only to see dark clouds gathering, the air humid, as though it was going to rain.

"The weather, don't tell me it's going to rain??" Yue Zhong's expression turned ugly as he thought.

Mobilizing troops in the rain was the toughest even for the well-trained soldiers. Not to mention those survivors who had undergone so much hardships and weren't in the best of health.

If preparations were not made for those survivors to move in the rain, the moment it poured there would be at least a fourth of them who would fall and never get up again.

"Fuck!!" Yue Zhong could not help but swear, as he hurriedly rushed into the command centre.

Yue Zhong had a green expression as he called out: "Da Gouzi! Immediately notify Guo Quan, get him to think of a way to prepare some umbrellas and raincoats. And quickly distribute the Type 2 meat to those survivors that have gathered, make sure they eat it!! Those items that have been moved over the bridge, find some place to shelter them now!"

Da Gouzi nodded his head, and immediately conveyed the command to Guo Quan: "Yes! Commander Yue!!"

Xu Yang, who had been promoted to a deputy Commander of a company grumbled to Guo Quan: "Battalion Commander!! The leader's orders are too rigorous! We only have a battalion's worth of people here, how can we manage so much?"

Guo Quan's 1st Battalion of Ning Guang County only had 400 people, not only did they have to maintain security over the bridge, they had to keep watch over those people who were being moved across the bridge, and they were in charge of distributing the Type 2 Meat as well, everyone was worked to the bone.

Guo Quan looked to Xu Yang ordered: "The orders from our Leader has to be followed, regardless of how harsh it gets! Xu Yang, take some men and get some helpers from the survivors. Tell them to help distribute the Type 2 Meat. The umbrellas and raincoats, you can assign them to other people as well, try your best to find them."

Umbrellas and raincoats were items that were hard to find in such a short time. Guo Quan understood Yue Zhong's desire to save these survivors, and made the best judgement, as he handed out the Type 2 meat to the survivors. As long as they ate the meat, they could recover their vitality quickly. That way, they stood a fighting chance. If they didn't have the meat, the moment they were caught in the rain, their weak bodies might collapse from hypothermia.

"Yes! Battalion Commander!" Xu Yang replied, and he went to the survivors, and used the price of 10 jin of rice to hire over 400 survivors to help him.

The moment Xu Yang expressed that there would be free food given out, a long line formed in front of the 400 helpers.

Every survivor was given a ammo cartridge, and it was the necessary item to exchange for a can of meat. As long as they handed over a shell casing , they were given a can of Type 2 meat.

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

"You stole my canned meat!! You stole my canned meat!!"

Just as Xu Yang was leading the troops in their distribution, there was a kid tugging on a middle-aged man who had just exchanged for a canned meat and was shouting loudly.

The middle-aged man eyes flashed fiercely, and he kicked out with viciousness, knocking the kid to the floor. "You little bastard! Who the fuck are you calling a thief!! Your daddy, I, used the ammo cartridge to exchange for this canned meat! Call out one more time, and I'll cripple you!"

"Stop!!" Xu Yang frowned and walked over, asking: "What's going on?"

The middle-aged man bowed and nodded his head towards Xu Yang and said: "Bro!! This little bastard is framing me for stealing his canned meat. I had exchanged this canned meat for the ammo cartridge. The worker over there can vouch for me!!"

Xu Yang looked towards the worker.

The worker swiftly nodded his head and said: It's true! He did exchange an ammo cartridge for a canned meat."

Xu Yang looked at the kid and said coldly: "Little brat! What do you have to say for yourself?"

The kid stood up, and had an enraged expression as he pointed at the man and said: "This man stole my ammo cartridge to exchange for the canned meat!! He still has one more cartridge within his clothes. Check him if you don't believe me!"

Xu Yang commanded: "Grab him!"

2 soldiers stepped towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, as he took a few steps back, before calling out loudly: "The army is killing people!! The army is killing people!! Help me!! Help me!!"

This middle-aged man was the leader of a small band of thieves, during the post-apocalypse, he had also gathered a small group of brothers. With his shout, his comrades hidden within the survivors also started shouting: "The army is killing people!! The army is killing us!! Let's escape!!"

After which, those thieves immediately made their escape towards different directions.

Humans are easily influenced in a crowd. When those words were shouted, a number of the survivors could not help but became fearful and followed the lead of the thieves.

Guo Quan who was standing further away saw the group of escaping people, and he gritted his teeth before shouting the order: "Open fire!!!"

In an instant, the soldiers that were on standby opened fire on those survivors, and a dense hail of bullets rained upon the survivors, turning them into sieves within a few moments.

In just 10 seconds, 200 people had fallen to the ground in huge pools of blood, many of them crying out in pain. Guo Quan was helpless and felt even more pained. They only had 300 people, to quell any sort of commotion, they had to resort to the harshest means, otherwise the entire group could overcome their small unit.

"Who dares to run! You will be executed immediately! Who dares shout nonsense, you will be shot as well!! Get down on the floor! No one moves! Whoever moves will die!" Xu Yang's expression was steely by now, and used his gun to aim at the man who instigated the riot, before pulling the trigger.

With a peng, the middle-aged man who had had a smug look was shot dead, and his body slumped to the floor like a limp noodle.

During the frenzied firing, those survivors had screamed out in terror, and fell to the ground. Their bodies trembled non-stop, not daring to move.

Xu Yang had a steely expression, as he looked towards the direction of the other instigators: "Fucking bastards! Damn you, you bastards! We are giving you a lifeline out of goodwill, we gave you food and drinks! You spineless scum dare to give us trouble! Where are those assholes who shouted earlier?"

Silence, every single survivor was silent. Under the influence of the corrupted society, everyone minded their own business, no one daring to meddle too much. After all, those troublemakers were together, they did not want to invite trouble.

Xu Yang's eyes flashed with rage and killing intent. With a gesture over 10 soldiers raised their .03 rifles and pointed them at the survivors, as Xu Yang shouted: "You don't want to say right? Fine! You have backbone! Men! Prepare to execute the whole bunch of them!! Since there are people who dare to create trouble, and those who know but aren't stepping forward to point them out, kill the whole lot of them!!"

Seeing those gleaming black guns, the survivors could not bear it and they started pointing fingers at the band of thieves as they shouted: "Don't shoot!! It's this guy!! They are the ones who shouted earlier!! It's him!!!"

Those band of thieves saw that the situation was against their favour and they tried to frame others: "It was obviously you who said it, you dare to say it's me!!"

Xu Yang directly got his subordinates to drag those survivors who were pointed out. He then chose one, whom after confirming the authenticity by checking with the majority, he beheaded in front of everybody.

Seeing the fresh blood spraying up into the air in front of them like some demented apocalyptic rain, the survivors all felt terrified.

Xu Yang directed his gaze at those he dragged out and coldly said: "Those who lied, the moment you are caught, you will be beheaded! Those who own up and point out the rest I can give you leave to go with your life. Those who tried to take advantage to malign others, if I find out, I'll break your waist!"

Under Xu Yang's cruel methods, the instigators of the riot were quickly identified. 2 males were beheaded immediately, while another had his waist broken. The poor bloke did not die instantly, instead he struggled on the floor in excruciating agony, for a long while before dying with a final painful whimper.

Seeing the brutal and bloody scene, all the remaining survivors were thoroughly shocked and did not dare make any strange moves.

One of the soldiers pointed to the 7 remaining troublemakers who owned up and asked Xu Yang: "Commander! What do we do with these assholes?"

Xu Yang waved his hands: "Send them to the scum battalion!"

The Scum Battalion was basically cannon fodder for Yue Zhong, and was always in need of manpower.

After the dust settled on the mini riot, Xu Yang walked to the front of the survivors, and he held a loudhailer as he shouted: "All you bastards listen up! If anyone dares stir up anymore trouble, you better point him out at the first chance you get. Otherwise, you will all be sent to the Scum Battalion to fight with the zombies ON THE FRONTLINE!! And, everyone only gets one canned meat. If you dare steal anyone else's, I will send those thieves to the scum battalion as well!"

Facing the arduous journey to come, a can of Type 2 Mutant Beast meat was equivalent to a survivor's life. Stealing a can that could replenish someone's vitality was the same as stealing the chance for the person to live. Xu Yang had to reinforce this, and mete out heavy punishments for infractions. Only through this method could he control the survivors and keep them from getting out of hand.

The survivors saw that Xu Yang was like an enraged, vicious god, and their expressions were frozen in fear. No one dared to move or say anything.

Xu Yang took a can of Type 2 Mutant Beast meat and threw it to the kid and said: "Here, it's yours! Dig in quickly!"

The boy immediately opened the can, and started devouring it. The moment the meat entered his body, he could feel the warmth spreading throughout his body, filling his little frame with a rush of energy.

Right at this time, raindrops started to fall from the sky.

"Damn you heavens!!!" Xu Yang looked to the skies, and under the sudden downpour, he could not help but curse.

With the heavy rain, the survivors gathered were instantly drenched. They looked at Xu Yang and the soldiers surrounding them, not daring to move.

"What do we do now? Commander!!" Xu Yang had been drenched to the toes as he ran to Guo Quan and asked.

"Immediately dispatch people to cross the bridge!!!" Guo Quan looked at the untimely downpour, and he gritted his teeth as he spat out.

Xu Yang's face fell, "What? Now? Those bastards don't have any raincoats, they will definitely be drenched!!!"

Guo Quan's eyes flashed with a pained expression, before he gave the order resolutely: "We only have 7 hours left. The horde will then catch up with us!! The people who have crossed the bridge are not even in the ten thousands!! We still have over 130,000 people waiting behind!! Everyone needs to cross now!! This is an order!! Go carry it out, I'll shoulder all responsibilities!!"

This command was extremely harsh!

With the current downpour, expecting the survivors to cross without any raincoats, coupled with the fact that their bodies are so weak, they were bound to fall sick. Even if they crossed the bridge and didn't die on the spot, many of them would definitely fall ill and be too sick to move.

Although Yue Zhong had the Life-Saving Grass, but it had no effect to the common ailments such as flu and fever, that had no poison. SY County was also short on medical supplies. One could imagine the potential casualties of those who got caught in the rain.

Xu Yang had a grim look as he replied: "Yes! Commander! I'll go carry out your orders! Whatever happens, I'll shoulder them with you!"

After that, Xu Yang hurried left to convey the command, and quickly rushed the different groups into crossing the bridge.

The younger children were the future of humanity, while the females could bear more children. Although it was extremely cruel, the elderly, especially those without any special skills were the last to cross the bridge. They were holed up in a nearby building, only after the majority had crossed was it their turn. Unless they were doctors or scientists that had some value to the future of mankind, they did not receive any special treatment.

In the heavy rain, countless survivors were herded across the bridge, walking towards the other side. After they had crossed, they had to continue for another 500m before they came to a building to rest. Only by crossing the bridge, could they be considered safe.

Chapter 0297 – Tough Crossing

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The autumn rain was extremely chilly, and the heavy downpour beating down on the survivors caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably. The Type 2 Meat was not a wonder drug after all. In that cold harsh rain, the weaker survivors fell amidst the downpour, never to get up again.

Amongst those who fell, there were children, women, and men, but regardless of who it was, no one would help to support them. The people behind continued to push the human sea forward while trampling on the dead, and the people forward had no choice but to continue moving or join the ones on the ground.

Even when the soldiers under Yue Zhong saw this happening, they could only harden their hearts and ignored it. They had to get the survivors across the bridge as soon as possible. Every minute they delayed, the soldiers fighting at the frontlines would have to stay put a little longer.

Under the 1st Battalion's watchful gaze, the survivors lined up obediently, crossing the bridge according to the given order. Nonetheless, the speed was at its maximum and could not be quickened.

The bridge was 500 m long, and the number of people that could cross per hour was at most 12,000 people. This was under the condition that there was no blockade, and was the fastest speed they could muster.

After 7 hours, approximately 80,000 survivors had crossed the bridge, at the same time, 400 had collapsed on the way. The heavy downpour not only claimed the lives of the weaker survivors, it had impeded the actions of Tai Yiyan and the rest of the group. No one wanted to be drenched in the rain as well.

After 7 hours, the warriors on the frontline together with Yue Zhong saw the sea of zombies approaching from the distance.

The moment the horde appeared, all sorts of firepower was rained upon the horde.

Facing the assault of the heavy weaponry, the zombies in the front were like wheat that was reaped, falling down line by line. Very soon, the zombies behind shambled forward to fill the gaps. At the same time, there were other zombies laying around that got up slowly and started to push towards SY City as well.

Those steel barbed wires, barricades and various other blockades exhibited their effectiveness, as those ordinary zombies that only knew how to advance were caught and fell to the ground. Same as the humans the fallen zombies were being trampled by the zombies behind, turning them into piles of meat mush.

The cones and sharp fortifications caused countless other zombies to be impeded and killed even. However, the moment those L2s that towered above 2m appeared on the battlefield, they used their monstrous strength to forcefully crush those fortifications.

The zombies relied on their numbers and lack of fear for death, carving a path out for themselves in their steady advance.

The sea of zombies was an extremely simple yet terrifying tactic. Just relying on their endless numbers and their disregard for death, they could go on forever.

Yue Zhong and Shen Hongyang's troops had joined together and were killing the zombies constantly, but could feel the taxing nature of having to deal with such a tactic. Regardless of how many zombies they killed, there would be more from behind to replenish the ranks. They lost position after position, as they retreated at each juncture.

"Guo Quan, what's the status report on the bridge crossing? Hurry, check and reply back to me!" On the frontlines, Yue Zhong was wielding a .05 submachine gun and firing wildly at the horde, while he was shouting into the walkie talkie with the other hand.

Facing the hundreds of thousands of zombies, even if Yue Zhong was a dual-attribute Evolver, he was practically useless. He had stood at the forefront, because he wanted to use his own power to lessen the pressure on the other soldiers.

Guo Quan swiftly replied: "91,000 survivors have crossed!"

Flames of fury arose in Yue Zhong's heart, as he was gunning down tens of zombies, he shouted into the walkie-talkie, enraged: "What the fuck are you doing? How come there are only 91,000 of them across?"

The 800,000 zombies was moving towards them like tidal waves of the sea. Yue Zhong's warriors were forced to abandon their posts as they retreated bit by bit.

It was a critical situation, all the soldiers were feeling the fatigue. They had been engaged in long hours of warfare, and had not gotten the necessary rest. They were humans, not robots, and could not withstand such long intense battles. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong standing like a general in front of them, igniting their morale and fighting spirit like a fighting god, they would have collapsed long ago.

Regardless of how much Yue Zhong inspired the troops, the fact was that the soldiers were exhausted. If the intense battle was to go on for too long, they would not be able to hold up. The assault of the sea of zombies was simply too ferocious, even in the cold rain, many of the barrels were overheating and became useless. Numerous soldiers had swollen shoulders because of the recoil, and they were relying on their fighting breaths and will to hang on.

As long as the leader was not useless, the soldiers of China were soldiers that could fight on with a strong fighting spirit*.

Although Yue Zhong had his shortcomings, he was the one who always fought in front. Perhaps he was tyrannical at times but he treated his soldiers fairly, and he always led his troops into victory after victory, creating myriad miracles. This type of leader was a commander soldiers were willing to fight to the death with!

[TN: Actual raws says that China soldiers are the best, they can fight, they have the best fighting spirit. I will refrain from commenting, and although I understand patriotism is admirable, the tone in this particular sentence does suggest the author has some bias. I think more will come in future chapters. I know that many readers are from various parts of the world, so I wanted to leave the sentence as close to its original meaning without getting on anybody's nerves. In the future, if I see future sentences like this I will directly translate it to something similar without explaining, so I hope those readers who know what the raws say understand where I'm coming from.]

On the other side, Guo Quan laughed bitterly: "There are some who aren't willing to leave their homes!"

People are known to love their homeland, and aren't willing to desert if they could. Especially in this type of weather, the survivors were all the more unwilling to move.

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with killing intent and lashed out: "Let them die! Damn it! Tell them about the zombies encroaching on SY City. If they don't want to leave, I won't force them, let them be buried with SY City for good! Bunch of assholes!! Guo Quan, I'm giving you 2 more hours! Whoever can be moved within these 2 hours will be my limit! After that, clear the road and leave a space for our troops to retreat! Whoever blocks our way, kill them regardless of who they are! No discussion!!"

To Yue Zhong, his soldiers were more important than the survivors of SY County. They trusted him wholeheartedly and were loyal, that's why they had chosen to fight till the end with him. Every single one of them were exhausted, and hanging on for another 2 hours was most likely their limit.

Within SY City, the remaining 50,000 survivors could not compare to his loyal subordinates.

"I understand, Commander Yue!! I promise to fulfill the responsibilities!!" Guo Quan gritted his teeth, as a resolute look appear on his face.

The news of the zombie horde attacking SY City soon spread like wildfire, and upon hearing the news, all those who were hiding at home and not willing to be soaked in the rain felt shock and trepidation, and finally understood the severity of the situation.

Those survivors took their raincoats, and rations and various other items in bags and rushed to the bridge. The sudden influx of the survivors led to chaos, and were jostling amongst themselves to be first, trying to find ways to cross the bridge. No one dared to stay in SY City longer than necessary, as the zombies would attack them in the next moment.

In the resulting chaos, many people who knocked to the ground, and trampled by the others, becoming more of the runny meat paste as the rain continued to fall.

Xu Yang looked at the messy and chaotic crowd and shouted: "All of you better line up in rows, whoever dares to cut the queue, you will be executed on the spot!!"

As these people were all fighting to be in front to cross the bridge, it had caused a blockade in front of the bridge, and no one could move.

No one paid attention to Xu Yang's shouts. The law would not punish the masses, this truth was imbedded deeply in their hearts, since there were people squeezing everywhere, they all thought that they would not be punished.

"Open fire!!" Xu Yang looked at the survivors squeezing, his face turned grim as he finally shouted the command.

The soldiers that were guarding the bridge used their machine guns and started firing into the crowd.

Under that sweeping fire, over a hundred of the survivors were shredded and fell down in pools of blood and gore. That terrifying scene shocked the remaining survivors, and they became obedient, looking towards Xu Yang in fear.

Xu Yang called out loudly: "If you want to cross the bridge, you better separate yourselves into 3 groups now. Children on this side! Women this side, and finally the men this side. The elderly, please wait at this side. For those who don't want to cross the bridge, scram far away! Don't fucking block my way here!"

Under Xu Yang's orders, the survivors quickly segregated themselves into 3 groups of people.

Following which, under the 3rd Battalion's watchful gazes, the children left the place first, crossing the bridge towards the other side.

As the survivors were being organized and moved, more than a dozen well-dressed men and women came in front of Xu Yang. The leader was a chubby-faced, fat middle-aged man with a protruding tummy. He smiled at Xu Yang, handing a bag to Xu Yang and said: "Hello Officer! I am SY City's Secretary for Commerce and Industry, Qu Bufan. You have worked hard, this is a small token, please accept it if you don't mind."

Xu Yang opened the bag, only to discover various diamonds that were twinkling inside. If it was prior to the apocalypse, these diamonds were easily worth several millions of Renminbi.

Xu Yang coldly asked: "What's the meaning of this?"

Qu Bufan pointed to a slender and fair-skinned beauty beside him as he laughed at Xu Yang: "I hope that this Officer can allow us to go over first. As long as you do that, this woman is yours!!"

The lady also fluttered her eyelashes at Xu Yang. Becoming the woman of an officer was not a bad thing. In this post-apocalyptic world, she wasn't the first to sell her body, nor would she be the last.

Xu Yang looked at Qu Bufan and laughed coldly: "Men! Lock these useless people up. Send the men to the scum battalion, the women into the women's battalion."

A few soldiers stepped out swiftly, and captured Qu Bufan and his group.

"Sir!! Sir!!" Qu Bufan had a look of shock and fear as he squealed out like a pig in distress.

"Don't be getting any funny ideas! Otherwise, you will face the same consequences as them!" Xu Yang scanned the survivors like a cheetah as he spoke out coldly, the survivors all looked down, not daring to meet his gaze.

Chapter 298 – Hot Blooded Heroes!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Under Xu Yang's fierce threat, all the survivors became obedient, following the orders and moving in an orderly fashion towards the other side. The speed soon picked up.

However, as the rain was cold and relentless, many of the survivors who had not eaten the Type 2 Meat, continent to fall amidst the downpour and never stood up again.

At this time, no one could afford to pay attention to those fallen survivors. Xu Yang could only continue distributing the Type 2 Meat with the aide of his subordinates, hoping for the meat to help the miserable survivors.

Guo Quan looked at the proceedings anxiously, the time was too short. 2 hours were simply not enough to move everybody across. He would check his watch from time to time, while racking his brain for a solution.

Guo Quan suddenly beckoned a Company Officer called Xu Mo and asked: "Xu Mo!! Did you guys find any boats around here?"

Xu Mo reported back: "Battalion Commander, I've brought men to search. There aren't any."

Prior to the apocalypse, the riverbank had plenty of tugboats and fishing boats. Post-apocalypse, they had all been used to catch fishes. In the end, as they came across the Type 2 Mutant Beasts in the waters, the boats were all destroyed or capsized. Hence there were no more boats around the area.

Guo Quan looked at the bridge with a steely expression, and continued to check his watch frequently. Nearby, there was still the bustling activity of moving, the group of children had crossed over fully, while the women were still making their journey on the bridge. They could hear the sounds of gunfire in the distance, and were aware of the intense battle happening.

Not long after, the preliminary group of soldiers had dispersed from the frontlines and came to the bridge. They had continued construction and fortification without a wink of sleep and were thoroughly exhausted. Even though they did not participate in the battle directly, because of their efforts, their constructed defences and traps helped delay and caused the deaths of over ten thousand zombies.

"Battalion Commander Guo! Yun Fei leading the preliminary troops and reporting!" The young master of Black Tiger Gang had shaved his head long ago, and was decked in a military uniform, and had saluted in proper bearing.

An environment can change a person, good companions exert good influence while bad ones causes bad influence. After joining Yue Zhong's troops, and undergoing Chen Shitou's strict training and regimentation, he had shrugged off his hooligan image, and was starting to become a lot more disciplined and upright, developing and growing as a young man should.

"Xu Mo, go arrange for the preliminary troops to cross the bridge immediately!!" Guo Quan responded to Yun Fei with a military salute as well, before conveying some orders to Xu Mo beside him.

Xu Mo nodded his head, and he brought Yun Fei and the rest of the preliminary troops towards the crowd, and started to cross the bridge.

"They're jumping the line!!"

"Why are they allowed to cut the queue? They're playing with privileges here!!"

"How can they be allowed to jump the queue, while we're supposed to wait for death? That's not fair!!"

"Since they came last, they should queue behind!! We should be first!!"

Seeing Yun Fei and the preliminary troops cutting the queue, the survivors got riled up, as they called out loudly.

The survivors had been obedient as they were not treated too shabbily, even though Xu Yang was fierce, he was indeed fair. No one had the special privilege to cut queue, nor could they try to bribe their way through, hence they were all accepting of the situation. Now there were people allowed to cut, they felt agitated.

"Fuck all of you bastards!!" Xu Yang raised his loudhailer and jumped on to the roof of a jeep: "Damn it! All you assholes! Earlier we asked you to gather, what the hell were you doing? Dragging your feet and not willing to leave. When all of you were holed up in your homes, these guys were on the frontlines! To delay the advance of the zombies, they didn't sleep a wink and have been working for 12 full hours!! Some have even clashed with the zombies and died already!"

Xu Yang's expression was extremely steely: "They are all heroes!! Because of their efforts and the other soldiers who are staying on the frontlines, you guys are still alive now!! Even if you don't want to thank them that's fine. You assholes who still want to scold them, are you guys even human? Where's your damned conscience?!"

Hearing those words from Xu Yang, warmth flowed in the hearts of Yun Fei and those preliminary troopers. They were heroes. They had used their own sweat and blood to protect so many people, Yue Zhong would not mistreat them. At this time, their hearts were filled with gratitude and acceptance towards Yue Zhong as a leader.

Many of the preliminary troops were so touched that they broke down in tears. During the post-apocalypse, many of them were the lowest rung of society, and were living as though they were ants. For a single bread, or 1 jin of rice, they had disregarded all sense of self-worth and pride, and done anything possible, no matter how shameless. The government officials had treated them like trash when they were overlooking and governing. Under Yue Zhong, they had finally obtained the respect and pride, and were being labelled as heroes. At this moment, even though their bodies were drenched in that cold rain, their hearts were filled with an infinite warmth.

The survivors were reprimanded and did not dare make another sound. When Yue Zhong had deployed people to gather them, indeed they were not willing to leave. Now they had nothing to say against Xu Yang.

"You bunch of assholes, if any of you are a man, and still have your balls with you, then come over here, grab a weapon and go to the frontlines and fight!! As long as that person can kill 10 zombies, I will allow him to cross the bridge first and welcome that person into our ranks!!" Xu Yang swept his gaze over the 20,000 males and shouted.

At this time, a huge truck dumped a huge load of steel blades and shields onto the ground, forming a small mountain of weapons.

These items were initially used by Yue Zhong to equip the preliminary troops for both training and real combat, and there were enough to arm about 4,000 men. On top of that, he managed to obtain 6,000 blades that were recently completed from the army's storehouse.

The army had also known about the issue of ammunition, and to boost up the fighting capabilities while they had low ammo, they had decided to manufacture a huge number of steel blades. Compared to just random knives, these huge blades were more efficient against zombies.

The 20,000 men looked towards the 10,000 blades and shields, their eyes flashed with a complicated gaze, and they sunk into deep thought. They knew that the horde was definitely fearsome, seeing the retreating army as well as forceful defence of the place by Yue Zhong's troops. Fighting against these terrifying monsters, if one wasn't careful, they would lose their lives. They were unwilling to die after all.

Xu Yang swept his gaze with scorn at the 20,000 men, and spat: "Pei! Bunch of cowards with no balls!! You aren't men! Since you aren't men, stay still and be obedient, await your turn! Don't act or speak out of line, otherwise my guns will fire blindly!"

"I'm a man! I will go kill the zombies!!" A 1.8m tall man stepped out from the crowd and took up a blade and shield as he hollered: "I am Tian Hu!! I am a man!! Whoever still has the guts, take up arms and follow me!!"

"I am Hai Mingfeng!! I am a man!! I'm not a coward!!"

"I am Shen Xiong!! I am also a man, not a coward!!"

Tian Hu's shout seemed to ignite a fire amidst the 20,000 men's hearts, and they started to step forward in droves, grabbing a weapon and shield, while shouting their names, announcing their existence.

Xu Yang looked at Tian Hu and the rest of them, his eyes gleamed, and he saluted them, as he shouted: "Good!! You are all men!! You will be my good brothers!! Pi Dafu! Go distribute a can of Type 2 Meat to each of these brothers, and bring them to assist Commander Yue at the frontlines!!"

Xu Yang's company officer Pi Dafu stepped out, and saluted the group of heroic males, and immediately brought them towards the sounds of gunfire.

There were many good men, at the same time, cowards were aplenty as well. Amongst those 20,000 men, only 6,000 had stepped forward. The rest had lowered their heads, not daring to look into Xu Yang's eyes, as though they were quails. Not everyone had the courage to face death.

"Trash!" Xu Yang coldly glared at the remaining 13,000 men and spat out the words, before moving on.

Under the lead of Pi Dafu, the 6,000 hot-blooded heroes quickly arrived at the battlefield and joined in the fray.

The soldiers who were struggling to maintain their defence managed to stabilize their position with the help of the unexpected 6,000 additional warriors.

The ordinary zombies were weak after all, they only had strength in numbers. Tian Hu wielded his steel blade and shield, and hacked about with force, those zombies were either chopped in two or beheaded. He was like a deranged tiger, and continuously slashed at the zombies.

With Tian Hu's example, the rest of the warriors following him seemed to gain a boost in fighting spirit, as they slashed fervently, chasing the zombies out of the street.

Under the support of Tian Hu and the newly joined warriors, Yue Zhong's 2nd Battalion that had been involved in the fighting since the first moment managed to catch a breath. At the same time, the Special Combat Forces as well as the experts under Shen Hongyang targeted the evolved zombies, as those evolved zombies posed the most threat to Tian Hu and the rest who were normal survivors.

Tian Hu hacked and slashed in his battle-lust, after killing 14 zombies, he was starting be out of breath, and the steel blade in his hands felt heavy. He ate 2 cans of Type 2 meat, and regained a huge amount of his energy back, however, his fighting speed could not match his initial power. After awhile, he would feel his stamina depleting quickly. He was after all not an Enhancer, and did not have the stamina to fight 100 zombies at once.

Right in front of him, 20 ordinary zombies had surrounded him and were making their way towards him. He rushed forward and like a possessed tiger, managed to kill another 2 more zombies. However, 3 of them stretched their claws out at him.

"Am I going to die?" Tian Hu looked at the incoming claws, and his face changed, as he lost all strength to retaliate.

Right at this time, 5 bone spears shot out, decimating the zombies in the entire area, and the surrounding zombies were instantly chopped up into many pieces.

"So strong!!! Is this the might of an Enhancer?" Tian Hu looked at the ease of which the zombies were disposed of, and a huge number behind them were also chopped up easily, and his mind was rattled. It was the first time he had seen the prowess of an Enhancer.

At this moment, Yue Zhong and White Bones came in front of Tian Hu and looked at him: "You must be Tian Hu! Well done!! You're a needed hero, care to join my troops?"

"Yue Zhong!!" Tian Hu's heart was shaken, as he stared fixedly at Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong had gained quite the notoriety in SY City, and in many versions, he was depicted as a 2m-tall, fierce looking hero that seemed to reek of blood. However, the person in front of him now was just an ordinary youth.

[TN: At the rate Yue Zhong is going, he seems to be a wizened old general trapped in a youth's body.]

However, when he observed carefully, he could detect the faint pressure and bearing of a leader. He immediately responded: "I'm willing!! Extremely willing!!"

During the post-apocalypse, if one was lucky enough to join a power, especially that had an army of such size, it was a blessing to most survivors. Becoming a soldier ensured that they would not go hungry, at the same time, they were backed by the army, and could live uprightly in this new world.

Tian Hu had wanted to join the SY Military previously, however, he lacked the connections, and had even offended some people, hence he did not have the chance.

"Bring the rest of them and retreat!!" Yue Zhong looked at White Bones that was slaughtering the zombies, before he told Tian Hu.

"Yes!" Tian Hu responded without thinking, as he looked at the whirlwind of destruction that was White Bones, and brought the rest of the 6,000 men and withdrew.

The scene of White Bones slaughtering the zombies like chickens had embedded deeply in Tian Hu's mind, and he was filled with fervent admiration and blazing motivation: "One day, I will become an Enhancer like that!"

Tian Hu and the 6,000 other men had attacked the zombies, and managed to decimate over 13,000 of them. It helped impede the advance greatly, and at the same time, they bought Yue Zhong's troops another precious hour.

However, as they had poor defences, without the necessary armor, in this battle, over 900 had been injured and infected, they had no choice but to execute them on the spot.

During this precious and hard won hour, Yue Zhong led the 8th Battalion and Ning Guang's 3rd Battalion towards the bridge.

Chapter 0299 – Retreat, Riot, Despair

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The appearance of the 6,000 warriors had bought a precious hour of time for the Special Combat Forces as well as the elites under Shen Hongyang. To these Enhancers, an hour was enough for them to recover a huge amount of stamina.

Yue Zhong led the Special Combat Forces as they hunted the zombies everywhere, blocking them from advancing. The main force was slowly making their way towards the back.

Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces had absorbed the experts of Liu Huifeng and Luo Tianyi before this battle. By adding on the various Enhancers who have been gaining levels nonstop throughout the battles, the total number of experts had reached 72. Every single one of them was above Level 20, and a number had broke past the Level 30 barrier. Each of them possessed incredible battle ability, however the horde was simply endless, Yue Zhong could only retreat bit by bit with them, and soon they came to the bridge.

At this time, the moving process was still ongoing, and a huge number of women was packed on the bridge. In front of the women, it was Tian Hu and the rest of the 5,000 warriors.

The 13,000 cowardly men had started to become fidgety with the approaching sounds of gunfire, and were visibly anxious. They could feel the tension rising as the horde got closer.

"Let us cross!!! Move!!! We want to cross!! Everyone, let's fight it out with them!" Amongst the survivors, one of them suddenly hollered out these words loudly.

"We want to cross!!"

"We want to cross!!"

"We want to live!!!"

"Get lost!! Damn army dogs! Thugs!!"

The survivors were riled up in an instant, and erupted in rage and chaos as they charged towards Guo Quan.

Seeing the 13,000 survivors rushing towards them, Guo Quan seemed to hesitate for a moment. This was after all 13,000 survivors! He might be fierce and threatening, but he did not want to become a murderer of his own kind!!

"Open fire!!" At this time, Yue Zhong's cold harsh voice resounded from beside Guo Quan.

Guo Quan heard the familiar voice, and did not hesitate further as he also shouted: "Open fire!!"

In an instant, all sorts of heavy weaponry opened fire on the survivors, and those miserable sods who had rushed forward without even a shred of metal on them immediately fell to the ground amidst screams of agony and pain.

Under that sudden oppression, a number of them became confused and scared, and decided to escape elsewhere, or kneeled on the ground begging for forgiveness, some even started crying not knowing what to do!

Yue Zhong looked at the survivors, and hesitation flashed in his eyes. Now was not the time to be benevolent, the moment they erupted in chaos, not only will this group of survivors die here, even his Special Combat Forces and the elites under Shen Hongyang would be buried here as well.

Yue Zhong did not bother about those who were escaping in all directions, he immediately picked up the loudhailer and spoke into it: "You are the last batch of survivors here, if you want to force your way across, I will not hesitate to kill you! There are weapons here, if you want to live on, take up and fight for your own life. If you don't have the guts, just wait for death!"

After which, Yue Zhong threw the loudhailer aside, and charged into the battlefield. It was the last critical moments of the battle, covering the retreat was the only priority on his mind now. Here, having a few extra hands would not mean shit.

"All of you evacuate! I will cover you!!" The moment he reentered the battlefield, he shouted towards Xu Xiao and Ji Qingwu.

Hearing Yue Zhong's words, Xu Xiao's eyes flashed with intense respect. Covering the retreat was the most dangerous part, and a leader who would do that for his subordinates were rare and few. Fighting for this kind of leader, Xu Xiao truly felt fortunate. He saluted Yue Zhong, and quickly brought his men to leave the frontlines.

Ji Qingwu glanced at Yue Zhong and gritted her teeth saying: "You're going to be alone? No way! I will stay behind with you!!"

Yue Zhong frowned and replied: "No! I can definitely leave by myself. With you, it would be impossible! Be good and listen to me!!"

Ji Qingwu stared at Yue Zhong stubbornly: "I don't WANT TOO! I have the means to protect myself!"

Yue Zhong directly exerted pressure on her: "No way!! It's too dangerous!! Go back, this is an order!! You are the commander of the Special Combat Forces!! You are responsible for the lives of our Special Combat Forces!"

Ji Qingwu was like Yue Zhong, and was exhausted from the countless battles. It could be said that there was no Special Combat Forces soldiers that was not tired, but no one could compare with Ji Qingwu and Yue Zhong who had not even taken a breather. The moment they slipped, it would be disastrous.

"Fine! I'll listen to you, but you must promise me you will come back!!" Ji Qingwu was after all a girl who could see the bigger picture, so she quelled the anxious feelings she had for Yue Zhong and swiftly retreated.

Yue Zhong looked Ji Qingwu's back and heaved a deep sigh of relief, before charging out towards battle with White Bones.

The paths to the bridge had been blocked earlier upon Yue Zhong's orders, there was only one main channel now. All the places required at least a few tens of minutes to break through. Hence, Yue Zhong and White Bones had to defend against the horde for a few minutes.

The moment the Special Combat Forces and elites evacuated, over 200 zombies lumbered towards Yue Zhong. If it wasn't for the other places being blocked, they might have been swarmed by more.

白骨双手骨刃延伸，变成了两道几乎能够将街道笼罩的巨大骨刃。它用力一挥，那锋利的骨刃旋即在那狭小的街道之中一斩而过，硬生生的将五十头以上的普通丧尸统统斩成了两截。

White Bones lifted its hands, changing them into huge bone blades that could reach down to the end of the street. With a large arcing swing, the Razor Bone blades came down and across the street area, chopping an excess of 50 zombies into lopsided rotting halves.

[TN: Hot damn! That's overpowered]

After gaining 4 points of enhancement in the Summon Special Skeleton Skill, White Bones could finally display its intended raw power. Zwish! His arms chopped and killed the zombies like a swinging meat cleaver. Even the L1s and L2s could not defend against the powered up, enhanced White Bones.

"Damn!! That's awesome!!" Yue Zhong had thought that it would a tough battle, but seeing White Bones cleaving through the zombies so easily? He finally understood the extent of strength his enhanced Skill could display.

It could be said that, White Bones could take on 2000 zombies on its own.

Under that kind of exertion, White Bones' stamina was also depleting like mad. When it reached zero, it could not use any types of skill. The more powerful the skill, the higher the energy or stamina consumption.

When White Bones' stamina reached 10 points, Yue Zhong immediately called it back, then whistled extremely loudly.

Following that shrill whistle, Greenie flapped its wings as it descended from the skies.

Greenie hovered above the city, and unleashed its Wind Control ability in response to the whistle. Following its incessant beating of its wings, countless tornados formed and shot towards the zombies.

Under the assault of those sharp tornadoes, lines of zombies were sliced in twain. At the same time, the power of the gale wind caused long cracks along the floor.

After Greenie released the gusts of winds, it immediately flew off, without needing Yue Zhong's orders. It was not willing to expend all its energy to attack an enemy that was endless.

Many high level Mutant Beasts had manifestations of their natural abilities. However, each usage could expend a huge part of their energy. Therefore, unless it was extremely dire, mutant beasts were unwilling to use their abilities freely.

After Greenie flew off, Yue Zhong also retreated at full speed backwards, moving so fast that he appeared to almost teleport 3-4 steps with each movement. As he retreated he wielded his .05 submachine gun and fired wildly while making a mad dash for the bridge.

At this time, near the bridge, there were only Guo Quan, the 1st Battalion from Ning Guang County, as well as the 12,000 male survivors who were pushing and shoving each other.

"Please!! Please Master Yue, let me go!! I'm willing to do anything!!"

"I'm begging you, let me go across!! I'm willing to slog and toil for you!!"

"Isn't the army about protecting the citizens!! Please!! Let us go over!!"

A number of the survivors had kneeled on the floor, and were begging Guo Quan profusely. The bridge was their only way out. With the passing of time, death was approaching faster.

Other than a few hundred survivors who took up the balance steel blades, the rest of them basically ignored them. These cowards only wanted to cross the bridge, and didn't have the guts to face the zombies.

Yue Zhong glanced at those weak survivors, and ordered Guo Quan: "Guo Quan! Take your men and evacuate now!! Let these people decide their own fate!"

"Yes! Commander!" Guo Quan saluted Yue Zhong, before taking the soldiers from the 1st Battalion across the bridge.

Losing the pressure of Guo Quan and the 1st Battalion, the survivors started to fight to get to the bridge.

With no one to maintain the order, all the survivors went crazy, those weaker ones were pushed to the ground. For the chance to escape, some of the people even went as far as to kill their fellow humans. In just a moment, the 13,000-over survivors were thrown into chaos, they did not dare fight against the zombies, but they were not above slaughtering amongst themselves.

Seeing the cruel and chaotic scene, Yue Zhong furrowed his brows, and let out a deep sigh. He had done his best, but he could not save these 13,000 survivors even if he wanted to.

Right at this time, the horde broke through all the barricades and defences, and was swarming towards the survivors!

"Ah!!!!" Seeing the terrifying zombies, one of the survivors screamed out, before jumping into the river, trying to swim his way across.

Ulamog: There you have it. The author has cleared the confusion: Whitebones can do movement and basic attacks infinitely, but any skills draw from a separate and not unlimited stamina total.

Chapter 0300 – Turtle to the Rescue! Tong Xiaoyun's Passion!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The number of survivors that chose to dive into the river increased as the zombies neared them, each one franticly trying to make their way across.

At the same time, the slaughter amongst those at the bridge had become even more intense, and devastation and desolation was in every survivors' eyes.

Yue Zhong shook his head and he proceeded to call for Greenie, to pick him up. All of a sudden, his heart shook, and he looked towards the river.

He was shocked as he observed that the waters were churning, as whole groups of Mutant Crayfish were climbing ashore! As they charged out of the water they immediately started attacking the zombies, using their sharp claws to chop them in two, before gobbling them up.

The waters churned constantly, and the Mutant Crayfish continued to come up in droves. Furthermore, there were 20 Elite Mutant Crayfish as well, followed by a Type 2 Mutant Crayfish, and finally Turtle!

Turtle looked at Yue Zhong, and let out a strange call. The Type 2 Mutant Crayfish also let out a sharp shrill call.

[TN: COWABUNGA!]

The 20 Elite Mutant Crayfishes rushed into the horde, and started slaughtering the zombies.

Those Mutant Crayfish had hard shells, and the ordinary zombies could do nothing to break them. They also had terribly sharp claws, and were impervious to the zombie virus, thus they were the perfect counter to the zombies.

The moment those Mutant Crayfish joined in the battle, they attacked the zombies in a frenzy, and huge numbers of the zombies were chopped up and dismembered by them, before being eaten.

These Mutant Beasts it seems, like to feast on zombies. If they could swallow the blood essence of the higher level zombies, they could use it to power up as well.

Seeing the Mutant Beasts coming out from the river, all the survivors felt worse, and the fights began to become more vicious. People were killing each other faster and faster as time went on.

Yue Zhong jumped on top of Turtle's head, and urged it to go to the bridge: "I am Yue Zhong! All of you stop right this instance! The Mutant Beasts are here upon my orders!! Get in line!! Cross the bridge orderly! Otherwise I'll execute you!"

The frenzied survivors were frightened by Turtle and had stopped in their tracks. They regained their composure, and observed the surrounded Mutant Beasts, before becoming like sheep and getting in line, crossing the bridge according to their lines.

"Turtle! This time, it's really thanks to you!!" Yue Zhong looked at the subdued survivors crossing as he sighed in relief, patting Turtle's head.

If Turtle had not appeared with its countless little brothers, the over 10,000 remaining survivors here would have died at the hands of those zombies.

When Turtle was praised by Yue Zhong, it wagged its tail, and thumped it against the ground. It was obviously pleased. After being tamed by Yue Zhong, it had already established a soul link with him, and could understand what he said.

With Turtle's command, the countless Mutant Crayfishes guarded the 10,000 survivors across the bridge. However, these weak cowards had to face the cold winds, the terrible chaos that ensued earlier, where there was slaughter amongst themselves, and over a thousand of them had died. Although the loss was huge, the only consolation was that the majority of them had managed to cross the bridge safely.

"Burn the bridge!!" Yue Zhong came to the other side of the bridge, and immediately issued the order!

'Hong'! With a loud blast, the bridge that was painstakingly built by countless people before the apocalypse was destroyed. The only way for the 800,000-strong horde to reach Ning Guang County was destroyed just like that.

If they wanted to make their way to Ning Guang County, they had to go on a detour for over a 100 km just to find the road.

After gaining these 100,000 survivors of SY County, Yue Zhong's next aim was Long Hai County!

As long as he conquered Long Hai County, Yue Zhong would obtain factories, and could start manufacturing ammunition. He wouldn't have to worry about ammunition shortage to deal with a huge horde like that ever again.

The close quarter combat placed too much pressure on the soldiers. Unless they wore Mutant Beasts hides that could prevent even the penetration of guns and knives, the loss of soldiers from fighting zombies was too much to handle.

The huge horde of zombies followed the scent of human to the river where the bridge once stood.

Under the influence of a mysterious command, the zombies plunged into the waters, seemingly trying to use their own bodies to create a path towards the other side. They had been advancing for such a long way with just their masses, crossing whem they saw mountains and crossing water bodies as they saw them.

However, the river was filled with the little brothers of Turtle, and the moment these zombies plunged into the water, they were immediately gobbled up by the Mutant Crayfishes.

After no results from sending countless zombies to their needless deaths, the Z-Types hiding behind the horde also woke up and stopped the useless notion. The entire horde stood at the river looking blank.

After confirming that the horde could not possibly make their way across, he heaved a sigh of relief, and went back to take a bath, before lying on the bed and falling into a deep sleep. He had over-extended himself these past few days, and the moment he could relax, he did not fight it.

Yue Zhong was after all just a human, after experiencing such intense battles, he was on high alert and high strung at all times. The lives and deaths of over a few 100,000 weighed on his shoulders and he had not dared to relax for even a single moment. That sort of intense pressure almost suffocated him. He could finally take a break.

As Yue Zhong was still drowsy and unconscious, he felt his member being grabbed by someone, before entering somewhere moist and warm, and he was woken up from the shock, before looking down.

[Dedition: Fun fact: After long periods of exercise, your body releases dopamine, loads of endorphins along with seratonin. Yue Zhong wouldn't be interested in sex as his body would already be feeling 'spent' as if he had been in an orgy for the whole day.]

Only to see Tong Xiaoyun in a simple white shirt, which was unbuttoned, revealing her beautiful pink mounds and the flawless skin she got after Evolving. She was kneeling in between his legs, grabbing his member, and was revealing an enchanting smile: "Good morning, Yue-gege!"

[TN: Ge-ge is just like brother, but I used it in this sense to highlight the more romantic/desire-mood]

"Xiaoyun, what are you doing?" Yue Zhong looked at that enticing and charming Tong Xiaoyun that was looking extremely feminine and alluring right now, and his heart skipped a beat.

Tong Xiaoyun teasingly licked his member and charmingly said: "Yue-gege, this is called waking you up! Do you like it?"

"Yes!" Yue Zhong reached out to caress her face, and did not hide the rising passion in his eyes, as his body grew warmer. Since the issue with the horde and danger was temporarily over, he wanted to give in to his desires and enjoy himself properly.

"Then, treat me lovingly!" Tong Xiaoyun giggled, and took the initiative to climb on top of Yue Zhong, before sitting down and allowing his member to enter her.

Tong Xiaoyun furrowed her brow slightly in pain and pleasure, as the snow-white bed was stained with a blood-coloured flower, "Love me tenderly ok? Yue-gege! I really like you! Oh!!!" Tong Xiaoyun hugged Yue Zhong tightly, as her huge eyes looked at Yue Zhong pleadingly.

[TN: Not this again hahahaha so many blood flowers. I'm tempted to put play Carly Rae Jepsen's 'I Really X6 Like You' here.]

"Of course!! I like you too!!" Tong Xiaoyun's pleading look was the strongest aphrodisiac and ignited Yue Zhong's passion. He pushed her on to the bed, and started to thrust in and out with pleasure.

As the room Yue Zhong was in was the temporary dwelling of the cititzens, Tong Xiaoyun's moans of pleasure could be heard through the walls, as it resounded out.

The little loli Zhang Yulan was currently holding a towel, standing in embarrassment outside Yue Zhong's room, putting her head to the wall and listening to the ongoings within the room. Her heartbeat was quickening. She had originally wanted to take a towel to help wipe the face of the hero that she idolized so much.

[TN: Zhang Yulan is Zhang He's sister, the one Yue Zhong saved when he barged into some pervert's place a few chapters back]

In truth, Yue Zhong's image amongst the majority of the survivors was not that good. Especially Shen Xue, who hated Yue Zhong to the core. However, Zhang Yulan absolutely adored Yue Zhong as he had saved her. Her heart was filled with only gratitude and reverence towards him.

"What are you doing here?" Just as Zhang Yulan was eavesdropping, Zhuo Yatong's voice travelled to her ear.

Zhang Yulan was scared and jumped up like a frightened rabbit as she trembled, before looking at Zhuo Yatong, saying on the brink of tears: "Ma'am, I'm sorry!! I didn't meant to eavesdrop!! I just wanted to take towel to Commander Yue!! I'm sorry!!"

"This husband is also too neglectful!! Xiaoyun also, how could she moan so loudly, giving kids a bad impression." Zhuo Yatong heard the moans of pleasure from within the room, and couldn't help but blush and thought to herself with a little jealousy.

Zhuo Yatong smiled tenderly at Zhang Yulan, before receiving the towel and said: "You can scoot along! I'll help you give it to him!"

"How beautiful!! How tender!! His wives are really all so pretty!! If I can become like them, will he look at me more?" Zhang Yulan looked at the absolute beauty of Zhuo Yatong and her eyes flashed with a hint of yearning, before she replied docilely: "Yes! Ma'am!"

With that, Zhang Yulan left the place obediently.

Zhuo Yatong strided into the room, only to discover Tong Xiaoyun's arched back, and her body flushed with an enticing pink, breathing erratically while lying in exhaustion in Yue Zhong's embrace, and her expression one of satisfaction and extreme charm

Yue Zhong took a look at Zhuo Yatong, herself dressed in stunning clothings that accentuated her mature charms, as his eyes brightened up and he smiled: "Yatong! Come over! I want to kiss you!"

Zhuo Yatong first closed the door, then giving Yue Zhong a tender smile, as she went over to him and started making out: "Really! Husband, if you and Xiaoyun-meimei want to do this kind of thing, please notice your surroundings also! What if the kids pick up the bad habits from you!"

Chapter 302 – Introducing currency!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Yue Zhong chuckled as he pulled the mature Zhuo Yatong and pressed on to her, without even taking off her clothes, he immediately penetrated her and forcefully pounded her.

Zhuo Yatong's tenderness set Yue Zhong's desire off again, at the same time, under Yue Zhong's constant ravaging, she could not help but let out cute moans, giving a sense of being Dominated, which fuelled Yue Zhong's passion further.

After the intense love-making, Yue Zhong embraced the voluptuous Zhuo Yatong and loveable Tong Xiaoyun as they laid quietly in the bed, while he breathed in their scent and took the the beauty of their skin, his heart filled with peace and happiness.

Zhuo Yatong laid in Yue Zhong's embrace as she raised her head to kiss Yue Zhong, before cheekily asking a pointed question: "Husband!! Between Xiaoyun-meimei and myself, who makes you feel better?"

Tong Xiaoyun grabbed Yue Zhong's hands, as she used her breasts and stuck them to his hand, before coyly saying: "Yue-gege, it's me right? Xiaoyun is your obedient little sister~!!"

Tong Xiaoyun and Zhuo Yatong always shared a close relationship, but with regards to getting Yue Zhong's affection, they would compete unknowingly. Although Zhuo Yatong did not say it, she still felt jealous of Tong Xiaoyun that managed to gain a position within Yue Zhong's heart as well.

"Haha!! Both of you are my precious darlings." Yue Zhong laughed out loud, and managed to dodge the tricky question, as he lowered his head to kiss them both on their cheeks, hugging them tightly.

Zhuo Yatong and Tong Xiaoyun looked at each other, and exchange a smile, and decided not to make things difficult for him, instead, they kissed him and placed their heads on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Yue Zhong was enjoying his time here. On the other hand, Da Gouzi was actually kept extremely busy, trying to handle so many things at once, he wished he could split himself into three.

The consequences of the downpour had surfaced, amongst those 130,000 survivors that had crossed, 40,000 had fallen ill because of the rain, and were running high fevers.

As the transportation of goods were in a rush, the medicine and supplies brought from the hospital were not enough to deal with the number of patients.

"What do we do? Officer Da Gouzi?" Tai Yiyan looked at Da Gouzi as she asked.

Tai Yiyan had shown her worth and capabilities by working closely with Yue Zhong's unit, and had become an integral member of his team.

Da Gouzi massaged his temple and gave out a few orders: "Give those fever patients a can of Type 2 Meat, then organize some people to help boil some water for them to drink!! Those who have already fallen ill, gather them and quarantine them. I don't want a new source of outbreak for illnesses."

In this post-apocalyptic world, falling ill was an extremely dangerous thing, especially with the shortage of doctors and medicine. Just a simple flu and fever could take the life of a person. Da Gouzi had distributed the meat like medicine because he had no choice, he could only pray that after gaining the energy, they might be able to fight the illness. Other than that, there was nothing else he could do.

"Yes!" Tai Yiyan swiftly replied, and dismissed herself.

Da Gouzi then pondered for a while, before continuing his distribution of the type 2 Meat to those soldiers who had put in their all during those intense battles. All of these soldiers had stronger bodies, all they lacked was rest. However, the Type 2 Meat could allow them to swiftly regain their energy and stamina, preventing them from suddenly falling sick.

With Da Gouzi's allocation, cans of Type 2 Meat were sent to those survivors who had fallen ill, under the supervision of the 5,000-over men led by Tian Hu, the female survivors were gathered, and took on the roles of temporary nurses, and helped take care of those who had fallen ill.

The Type 2 Meat was extremely beneficial, as the moment the patients ate the meat, it displayed its rejuvenating properties, and many regained some colour on their pale faces.

As there was no adequate care given on time, out of the 40,000 who had taken ill, 1,000 had passed away, but the rest of them managed to overcome this hardship, and escaped death's door.

This time, Yue Zhong had managed to save so many survivors, the huge amount of Type 2 Meat played an important role. If it was not for the Type 2 Meat, even if these over 100,000 survivors crossed the bridge, at least half would have died due to the rain.

After the cold harsh autumn rain fell for 5 days, the skies regained its warm blue colour.

The moment the skies cleared, the 120,000-over survivors who had been squeezing and waiting it out embarked on their journey towards Ning Guang County.

When these survivors arrived at Ning Guang County and Qing Yuan County, the masses joined and integrated with the strongholds under Yue Zhong, and started a bustle of activities.

Factories were filled up, and everyone began production on steel knives, barricades and making use of the hides from the Mutant Beasts to create armor and protection.

Those 5,000-over survivors who had proved their worth during the last few critical moments were also accepted and integrated into the preliminary troops and began their tough training.

Yue Zhong was extremely generous with his own troops who had fought hard for him, they had decent amounts of food. In between their training gaps, they also spent time and resources within the county, bringing all sorts of economic growth within the county.

It seemed that overnight, various snack stalls, bread shops, hair styling salons, restaurants, etc all sprung up.

Chen Jianfeng sought Yue Zhong out and spoke: "Yue Zhong! I feel that we should start introducing a currency, otherwise it will be detrimental to our current economic growth."

Within the counties, the barter system was still popular. Most of the time, rice or other food was used. As to the renminbi used prior to the apocalypse, it was worth even less than toilet paper now. The barter system was primitive and inefficient, and was not helpful to development.

However, the renminbi had declined. Those who had tried running with their huge stacks of renminbi were in dire straits, not even comparable to a beggar, and no one was willing to accept it. Only Yue Zhong and his group could introduce something to be used, that would be acceptable by their citizens.

Yue Zhong frowned as he asked softly: "Do we give out cash? Based on our skills now, can we maintain the security and strength of the currency?"

Chen Jianfeng replied swiftly: "I have already found someone to handle this issue."

Their total number of survivors rescued from SY County were 120,000 adding on to the 20,000 that he had secretly transported out earlier, his stronghold had increased by a whopping 150,000 in strength. Amongst those survivors, there were various people with specialized skill sets and knowledge. Chen Jianfeng only had to spread the word, and his subordinates had found some people already.

Yue Zhong nodded his head: "Fine! I'll let you handle this!"

Chen Jianfeng was extremely efficient, and his methods and work ethics were extremely resolute. Under his supervision, Yue Zhong's government swiftly issued out a currency called the Grand Central Empire Dollar* as the new form of currency.

1 Central Dollar could be used to buy a jin of cornmeal within the rules Yue Zhong established for food companies, and 2 Central Dollars could be used to buy a jin of rice. At the same time, there were various other items that can be bought, including cigarettes, milk, soap, canned Beast Meat, canned Type 2 Beast Meat.

Yue Zhong then issued out salaries to the military and government, allowing them to spend them as necessary within the counties.

As the Central Dollar could be used directly to purchase food, the strength and credibility immediately gave the survivors the confidence to accept it as the new currency replacing the previous renminbi. Furthermore, many shops had the stock of Type 2 Beast Meat.

Amongst the survivors, many of them had experienced and gone through so many setbacks. They recognized the importance and value of the Type 2 Beast Meat. Many of them had their hearts set aflame, wishing to own a Type 2 Beast Meat as an insurance for their lives in the future.

Of course, the Type 2 Beast Meat could not be purchased so easily. Yue Zhong had set a price of 10,000 Central Dollars on each canned Type 2 Beast Meat. Type 2 Mutant Beasts weren't easy to kill after all. To even encounter them, one had to travel to places where the Mutant Beasts were strong and ferocious, if he were to be careless, he could meet a few different Type 2 Mutant Beasts, if that happens, Yue Zhong would also lose his life.

The moment the currency was introduced, both counties seemed to regain their vigor, and many survivors started showcasing and making use of their abilities and knowledge prior to the apocalypse, and started up their own shops. There was a huge variety of snacks, and various shops had sprung up due to demand. Both counties displayed a thriving scene.

Under the supervision of Chen Jianfeng, the development and economic growth boomed, and the people were filled with satisfaction and happiness. On the other side, Yue Zhong had allowed his troops to rest for 5 days, before assigning them in shift systems to make their way towards Long Hai County, clearing the various villages of zombies as they came across them, at the same time grooming and training his troops.

Tian Hu and the rest of the warriors of the preliminary troops were undergoing Xu Zhengang's harsh training everyday.

The various troops of Liu Huifeng were absorbed and distributed amongst Yue Zhong's troops, with the addition of a few hundred veterans, the combat power of the battalions received another huge boost.

Shen Hongyang was extremely cooperative as he handed command of Xu Xiao and the few other experts to Yue Zhong, who transferred them into his Special Combat Forces. The 10 tanks, 7 assault helicopters and their operating personnel were then allocated to the armored division.

As a form of reciprocation, Yue Zhong had allocated a large number of soldiers from his preliminary troop to fill up Shen Xue's 2 infantry battalions, fulfilling his promise.

As his power was expanding, Yue Zhong once again overhauled the military system, and reorganized the entire troops as a regiment, declaring himself as the Regiment Commander, with Chi Yang as the Second-in-Command.

Chapter 302 – Assault on Long Hai City

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

The elite 1st and 2nd Battalion of Qing Yuan County, 1st and 2nd Battalion of Ning Guan County as well as the Armored Battalion were grouped as the 1st Division belonging to Yue Zhong, its commander Xu Zhengang and vice-commander Wu Guang.

Qing Yuan's 3rd Battalion, Ning Guang's 3rd and 4th Battalion were reorganized as the 2nd Division, its commander Chen Shitou, vice-commander Kong Tianyu.

SY County's 8th Battalion and Shen Xue's 2 battalions were grouped into the 3rd Division, its commander Xiong Zheng, vice-commander Shen Xue.

The Special Combat Forces remained under the command of Ji Qingwu. The preliminary troops remained as it is, belonging to Yue Zhong and trained by Xu Zhengang.

Da Gouzi was conferred the title as Support Commander, being placed in charge of all support activities. The support division was important and could decide victory in modern warfare.

On top of that, Yue Zhong established a Youth Guards. This Youth Guards was comprised of various youths that had ambition and idolized Yue Zhong. They numbered in the 3,000, consisting of both boys and girls. They had to go through a specialized programme where they had to learn about culture and skills in the day, and learnt various fighting and combat skills from the Special Combat Forces. They ate Mutant Beast meat, and got to enjoy Type 2 Meat once in a while, strengthening their bodies through the course of training. Zhang He and Zhang Yulan had joined it the first moment they could, as they possessed the drive and idolization of Yue Zhong.

The top expert of the Youth Guards was the little loli Yao Yao. Zhang Yulan had been awed by her the first moment she saw her, and became her huge fan, and her small attendant.

Yao Yao saw that she had someone who idolized her, and felt smug as well. She did not hold back and taught Zhang Yulan all she knew and experienced. It was just that regardless how hard Zhang Yulan worked, she could not match Yao Yao as she was lacking in both age and talent.

However, Zhang Yulan and her brothers did not slack off, and absorbed all that they could. They wanted to become useful members of society in this new post-apocalypse world.

A month went quickly with all the adjustments, integration and training. After the reorganization and training, Yue Zhong's troops had surpassed what they were previously, and became even stronger.

"Now! Let's move out! Our target is Long Hai County!!"

Following Yue Zhong's single command, his 1st Division started to move towards Long Hai City.

The army set off, and following them from the rear were over 20,000 survivors as well as the support troops and their transportation supplies. As there was not enough fuel, the support troops could only use their own legs to follow the vehicles forward. It was extremely tough.

However, these troops and the survivors had not a word of complaint, as they were very clear that the operation this time on Long Hai County was extremely crucial. If they could conquer it, they would gain a huge amount of resources, and could gain a new city to become another habitat.

If they failed, then the horde that was holed up inside would cause all their deaths.

This battle, they could only win! They could not lose at all!

The zombies in the surrounding villages had either been summoned into Long Hai County, or were already wiped out by Yue Zhong's troops as training.

Yue Zhong's huge army had marched on for a few days, before finally arriving at the highway which led to Long Hai County and encountering the horde of zombies.

The huge horde of zombies was also slowly making their way towards Qing Yuan County, on the highway, through the various plains and forests. As far as the eye could see, they were all filled with zombies.

Upon sighting in on zombies, the 10 tanks that had become part of the armored vehicles immediately opened fire as they slowly and continuously advanced forward.

The zombies scattered throughout the plains and forest were immediately gunned down by the heavy fire, as they slumped to the floor.

The 10 tanks continued advancing forward, intending to crush the zombies.

The troops behind followed as they stepped on the meat paste on the ground, advancing behind the cover of the tanks.

In the skies, Greenie and 2 drones were flying, and the drones were feeding information back to the central command, while Greenie was in charge of chasing away the other flying Mutant Beasts that got attracted by the huge number of humans.

"Scum Battalion! Go charge!" Yue Zhong looked at the zombies that had been shot and laid on the ground on the plains and in the forests, and he gave the command to the scum battalion!

The commander of the Scum Battalion was Gao Daqiang, who was wielding a Tang Replica Sword, decked in Mutant Water Snake hide armor, another hand holding a steel shield, as he shouted at the 2,000 males who were made to join the scum battalion: "Your father, I, am Gao Daqiang!! I'm sure you guys can tell that I used to be a criminal who was sentenced to the Scum Battalion in the past. However, I have killed enough zombies, and have become an upright leader under Commander Yue's forces. My current rank is 2nd Lieutenant, and I'm a Level 18 Enhancer. I even have 2 wives as well! Everyday,I get to eat my fill, with meat in my meals also!"

Gao Daqiang let out a roar, and he charged at the zombies: "If you want to become like me, give it your all! Kill the zombies!! As long as you risk it all and fight, women, food, lodging, they will be yours! If you want to rise in rank and get rich and have your way with women, charge with me!! Whoever dares to retreat from battle, will be shot by the troops behind! Charge!!"

Yue Zhong had always placed importance and rewarded on those who worked hard. This Gao Daqiang had dared to fight and risk his all, and had killed numerous zombies. Even after he became a proper soldier, he continued putting in effort, and gained a Tang Replica Sword and Mutant Water Snake armor for himself. He had truly grown to become a powerful Enhancer, and was always the first to lead the charge in the Scum Battalion.

"Charge!! Follow Boss Gao, and let's rise in rank!!!" Beside Gao Daqiang, Nalan Mingzhu shouted out loudly and charged as well.

Under the motivation of Gao Daqiang and Nalan Mingzhu, those warriors of the Scum Battalion, who had been forced to train without any entertainment or break, seemed to become beasts with eyes filled with battle lust as they took up their weapons and charged. Only by killing enough zombies, could they earn freedom for themselves, and become normal citizens. Otherwise, they will forever remain as cannon fodder within the Scum Battalion forever.

When Gao Daqiang and Nalan Mingzhu appeared, and showed that they were examples of warriors who earned their freedom and rose in ranks, and even managed to marry wives, the criminals within the Scum Battalion were immediately motivated and found the incentive and hope to perform. They wanted to regain their freedom. Only when one loses freedom, will one truly understand its preciousness.

Those who earned their freedom from the Scum Battalion were a sturdy troop of veterans who had killed at least 30 zombies. When these hardened veterans were reintegrated within the normal army, when they obtained their God and Devil System equipment, they quickly rose to become strong Enhancers, and had filled up the ranks of experts within Yue Zhong's troops.

Those 2,000 troopers from the Scum Battalion were like tigers amongst sheeps the moment they charged at the zombies, as they waved their steel blades in frenzy and lopped off the zombies' heads in a wild and yet strangely disciplined manner, one by one.

When the troopers were riled up and threw away their fear, they became unstoppable, and the ordinary zombies weren't their match, they could only be slaughtered.

The zombies within the forests and plains were easily decimated by the scum battalion just like that.

The main force of Yue Zhong were easily picking off those zombies who stood in their way along the road.

As the forward party of zombies which numbered in the tens of thousands were being wiped out, the remaining scattered zombies quickly made their way back towards Long Hai County to gather.

On Greenie's back, Yue Zhong saw the droves of zombies making their way towards Long Hai County, forming a huge horde that stretched for miles.

"The number of zombies could number in the millions!!" Yue Zhong frowned as he thought to himself.

Although the number of zombies seemed to number in the millions, Yue Zhong did not panic as he currently possessed over 7,000 soldiers, including the preliminary troops and Scum Battalion, he had over 10,000 men who could fight. At the same time, he had the equipment from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade as well as enough ammunition for a regiment to expend, it was more than enough for him to fight with.

Yue Zhong had also constructed his own factory, that specialized in refilling bullets and could produce 20,000 bullets a day. In a month, the workers could churn out 600,000 bullets. Although the refilled bullets were less accurate, under heavy fire, they could cause waves of zombies to fall.

With this kind of support, Yue Zhong had the confidence to deal with these couple millions of zombies!

After the zombies within Long Hai County had gathered, they used their old methods, surging forth like a tidal wave and charging towards Yue Zhong's troops in a frenzy as commanded by their Z-Types.

After gaining valuable experience from the previous defeat, Yue Zhong swiftly commanded his troops to station at various strategic points, and began construction of fortifications and barricades, in the event the frontlines could not maintain, they could at least withdraw with ample protection.

The main force of Yue Zhong's troops swiftly gained control over Green Wind Gorge, an important channel, and began their fortifications and awaited the assault from the horde.

Green Wind Gorge was not as wide as Tiger Mouth's Gorge, and it had a decent defence line of about 4 km wide, but it was the most suitable for Yue Zhong's troops to begin their work with.

As the construction work was in full swing, and various traps were being dug, the sea of zombies finally approached the Green Wind Gorge.

If there were any weaknesses of the horde to be pointed out, it would be that their mobility was severely impaired, and thus Yue Zhong could find ways to deal with it.

As the sea of zombies lumbered towards the Green Wind Gorge, while their speed was slow, it was extremely steady. Soon, the landscape was filled with the zombies.

"Open fire!!"

Following Xu Zhengang's orders, the artillery unit began firing.

Round after round of rockets landed accurately amongst the zombie horde, exploding outwards with flame and shrapnel. With every blast, a huge hole would appear, and the zombies within a certain radius would be incinerated along with it. Regardless if they were ordinary zombies, or the evolved L1s, L2s, H1s, S1s, or S2s, under the relentless bombardment, they would become ash, with no way to retaliate.

Within a short 5 minutes, the densely packed horde had been blasted many times, and the leading force became a handful of scattered zombies.

Artillery weapons were considered godly weapons, and in this post-apocalyptic world, using them against the zombies could display their terrifying strength. In just this short 5 minutes, over 30,000 zombies had been incinerated.

After the constant bombardment for 5 minutes, the artillery immediately stopped. The zombies in front had been annihilated, and continuing their firing would not achieve anything. Furthermore, their ammunition was not endless, firing one meant one less for the future. Xu Zhengang had to utilize them to their fullest potential.

Facing the remaining scattered zombies, Guo Quan led the warriors from the 1st Battalion of the 1st Division forward, as they were decked in Mutant Water Snake hide, Mutant Black Fish hide, wielding Tang Replica Swords, and charged at the zombies.

With the protection of the hides, as long as the soldiers took care not to let their faces get scratched, they would not get infected. With the protection of those hides, the ferocity of the soldiers from the 1st Battalion was like a sharp knife that pierced the zombies after they had just faced the bombardment of the artillery, killing any few zombies that remained.

Ji Qingwu also deployed 20 soldiers from the Special Combat Forces as they followed the 1st Battalion, killing any evolved zombies such as the L2s or S2s that appeared, allowing the other soldiers to focus on the ordinary zombies.

The moment Guo Quan led his men into battle, they hacked and slashed their way through, killing over 2,000 zombies, before retreating to their positions. Many had gained levels after this first onslaught. Under Guo Quan's command, they all allocated the enhancement points into Stamina. In war, a modernized battalion that had immense Stamina was extremely fearsome, as long as they had enough Stamina, they could remain fighting on the frontlines, killing even more enemies.

The rest of the battalions also took turns and launched assaults on the remaining zombies, treating them as training fodder and experience. Without the densely packed horde and support of numbers, these zombies could only become meat for slaughter.

The 50,000 zombies leading the horde were wiped out in such a short time, and the endless zombies behind continued forward to fill up the places and gaps, as they lumbered towards Yue Zhong's forces.

The moment the horde stepped up again, the artillery that was resting immediately opened fire, and the fearsome bombardment of rockets blasted the zombies into smithereens, with the scattered zombies taken out by the troops.

Chapter 0303 – At Bottom…

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

With the support of the artillery, the position of the troops was really quite impregnable. Even when the horde swarmed in wave after wave, they would be wiped out almost instantly. Green Wind Gorge had become a merciless meat grinder, with were bits and pieces of corpses flying and splatting everywhere. The entire ground seemed to be soaked in dark blood and the rotten stench was unbearable.

The amount of firepower Yue Zhong possessed surpassed the amount the SY army had, furthermore, he had chosen a place that was more strategic than previously. The current fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers were much higher than previous, therefore the maintenance of their position was not a difficult task.

The battle continued all the way till noon, and over 400,000 zombies had been annihilated by Yue Zhong's troops. The entire Green Wind Gorge was filled with countless body parts of the zombies. However, the sea of zombies still looked as endless as ever, as though they could not be wiped out.

Yue Zhong observed the horde that stretched without end, and he furrowed his brow before ordering: "Let the armored battalion attack!! Push forth! 1st Regiment 2nd Battalion attack!"

Following Yue Zhong's orders, his trump card finally showed itself, 30 Type 69 tanks, 26 IFVs, 64 modified armored vehicles, 6 huge rollers were activated, and became a stream of armor that charged forward and flattened any unfortunate zombies that stood in their way.

The 1st Division 2nd Battalion's soldiers were mostly also decked in Mutant Black Fish hide. With their .03 rifles and grenades, as well as rocket launchers, they followed behind the armored line and picked off any remaining zombies by the sides.

The 30 tanks had only 10 that could fire cannons, the other 20 could only be driven. A mortar hand could not be trained up so fast in such a short time. Recklessly firing could cost the lives of teammates. However, the frontal charge of the tanks were fearsome enough, not a single zombie could impede the charge of these Metal Valkyries

Scads of zombies were flattened into meat paste by the 30 tanks with each pass and they couldn't even put up a fight. The rest of the armored line, including the IFVs, modified tanks, and rollers, were all capable of crushing the zombies as well, and any zombies unfortunate enough to be in the way of that armored line were flattened.

After forcefully carving a way out for about 5 to 6 km, the horde split up, as a group of 1000 L2s with brute strength started charging towards the Type 69 tanks.

The L2s were all a towering 3m, their strength immense, and could easily flip a car. However, when those L2s charged to the front they were immediately knocked down by the tanks, and the L2s were directly flattened and ground beneath the tires and tracks.

The IFVs also smashed onto those L2s viciously, knocking them away. Those L2s did not suffer any broken bones though, as they quickly got up again.

By this time, the ZPT90s on the IFVs started firing like mad, and under suppressive heavy fire, the L2s were shredded.

The few remaining L2s were also blasted to pieces by the troops of the 1st Division 2nd Battalion who were using the various grenade and rocket launchers.

After dealing with those L2s, the horde once again split up, and this time, a group of H1s packed in orderly formation started executing their fireball attacks at the armored line.

In just an instant, numerous fireballs landed on the tanks, IFVs, and the rest of the armored vehicles.

The moment the fireballs landed, the drivers in 3 of the rollers were instantly incinerated. 6 of the modified heavy vehicles also caught fire, and the passengers inside died on the spot. 13 of the modified heavy vehicles had their tires exploded and they fell uselessly to the ground. 4 of the IFVs were hit by the fire blasts, causing them to be filled with holes and their armor destroyed. One of the IFVs instantly caught fire. 3 of the IFVS also had their tires taken out, and lost their mobility, lying uselessly on the ground.

Only the tanks remained unscathed amidst that bombardment, and continued pressing forwards, pulverising the zombies that got in their way.

When the H1s had just appeared to fire those fireballs, rockets had already landed on them, blasting numerous H1s into smithereens.

The infantry battalion was also firing their rockets, grenades and their .03 rifles at the dangerous H1s, directly turning them into shredded meat.

After decimating the troop of H1s, another troop formed entirely out of S2s approached!

It was just that when they appeared, they already met the vicious attacks of the 10 tanks and remaining IFVs, those evolved S2s had not even displayed their fearsome attack before they were fired at till kingdom come. The remaining S2s were accordingly picked off by the experts in the 2nd Battalion.

Crushed, they were absolutely crushed!! The armored fleet just had to continue advancing forward, forcefully crushing their way through, turning over 100,000 of the zombies along the way into meat paste.

Yue Zhong sat on Greenie's back, as he observed his armored vehicles crushing the zombies as they advanced, and his heart was filled with elation.

As long as fuel did not run out, the tanks could continue rolling forward on and on! Nothing could stop these steel monstrosities!!

This armored fleet was Yue Zhong's trump card, and the strongest blade he had against the horde of zombies.

"Push forward for another 40 km! That way, it would be impossible for the bulk of them to attack Green Wind Gorge during the night. It can earn us a night of precious time!" Yue Zhong was laying on Greenie's back as he looked down, and calculated before giving the order.

Night battles were the hardest to fight since ages ago. Yue Zhong had sent the armored fleet out because he was not willing to engage in a night battle with the zombies. Even though he had the flares, it was not that the humans could not fight in the night, but compared to daytime, it was indeed harder to fight.

"Eh? What's going on?" Yue Zhong was still in the air observing, when he suddenly noticed that there was a group of zombies suddenly rushing forwards towards his armored fleet without a care for death. At the same time, the horde was opening up a pathway for another group to retreat backwards..

Yue Zhong looked at the obvious retreat of the zombies, and his heart leapt in joy: "Those must be the Z-Types?! Are they finally scared??"

It was as Yue Zhong had guessed, those Z-Types that had been hiding within the horde had seen the terrifying power of the armored fleet, flattening their troops, and had begun to fear for their lives, and was running to the back for protection.

"Kill it!! As long as I kill it, victory will be halfway in our grasp!!" Yue Zhong thought excitedly, and patted Greenie gently, pointing towards the movement within the horde.

Greenie understood Yue Zhong with just that pat, and immediately shot forward like an arrow towards the horde of zombies.

As an air-type Type 2 Mutant Beast, Greenie's speed was truly fearsome, in just a few blinks, it had brought Yue Zhong within 20m of the retreating group.

Yue Zhong could see clearly 200 S2s, a 100 L2s and 10 enormous L3s, and they were accompanied by 20 zombies that were greyish-green, slender-looking but with powerful legs, 1.7m-tall and glowing with a slight green glow.

On top of that, there was a weird zombie with a head the size of a pumpkin, its limbs as short as fingers, perched atop an L3.

"Level 45 Type 3 Strength-based Evolved Infector S3. It possess extreme speed and sharp claws that can tear through anything. It possess the ability to infect, can cause an infected to become a infector as well."

"Level 50 Type 2 Mental-based Evolved Infector Z2. It possess fearsome Spirit, as well as control over a horde of 1,000,000 zombies."

On the frontlines, there were no signs of the fearsome L3s or S3s, it was obvious that this cowardly Z2s had commanded them to be their guards.

Greenie shot forward like a lightning bolt, using its huge claws to grab an L3's head before exerting strength to behead it. It then swiftly activated its innate ability Wind Control, flapping its wing vigorously, causing powerful tornados to be conjured and blowing the numerous S2s and S3s away by a few tens of metres, leaving the 100 L2s and the remaining tower-like L3s.

The Z2 saw Yue Zhong and Greenie and immediately shot out a terrifying Spirit Blast, and a huge Spirit attack that could render a normal human into a retard shot towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong was after all a Spirit-based Evolver, but with that fearsome attack from the Z2, his eyes darkened, as he fell from Greenie's back.

The attack was however, ineffective against Greenie, which was a Type 2 Mutant Beast, as Greenie immediately shot downwards, and bit off the Z2's head, gobbling it up in just a matter of seconds.

With the death of the Z2, all the zombies that were under its control immediately broke away. Groups of zombies lumbered off, and the 9 L3s and 20 S3s shot towards Yue Zhong.

The scent of evolved flesh and blood from Yue Zhong enticed them greatly.

Yue Zhong could reach a speed of 12 times that of normal humans upon activation of all his buffs and skills, but the speed of the S3s were well beyond Yue Zhong's speed that was enhanced by abilities, reaching at least 150 points base speed!. They had rushed from way behind the L3s, but had arrived near Yue Zhong and started attacking even before the L3s, their claws reaching for Yue Zhong.

As Greenie had just killed the Z2, it was not fast enough to react and save Yue Zhong!

Chapter 304 – Capturing Long Hai City! Yue Zhong's gains!

Translated by: Kun

[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]

Facing the S3's whose movement speed surpassed his own, Yue Zhong's eyes gleamed as he activated a skill. White Bones materialized out of thin air and immediately transformed into an orb of light which morphed into his Bone Encompassing Armor.

Yue Zhong then activated his Devil Flame with another thought, an extra expense of 50 points of Spirit and 20 points of Stamina was used to condense it into a flaming sword.

The moment the Devil Flame Sword appeared in his hands, his killing intent was unleashed! In the next instant his body was struck viciously by 3 of the S3's, slashed by their piercing claws.

Under the attack of the S3's, Yue Zhong's Bone Encompassing Armor that was impervious to even heavy ammunition was scored furiously, leaving 3 deep claw marks.

Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps quickly in response. At the same time he swung his Devil Flame Sword and extended it to a 6m-long sword, instantly surprising and slicing across the 3 S3's in front as well as another 6 of them who were rushing forward.

A huge experience orb instantly combined and got absorbed into Yue Zhong, finally pushing him to the next level.

"Congratulations on achieving Level 45, you have gained 2 points of enhancement to be allocated."

Yue Zhong directly enhanced his Agility, before waving the fearsome Devil Flame Sword again, instantly beheading another S3.

The remaining 10 S3's had evolved and possessed a higher perception for danger, so they had evaded the first moment they could. This and their insane speed allowed them to avoid Yue Zhong's strikes.

Yue Zhong ignored the S3's that were avoiding him, and went for the L3 that was charging towards him. Under that mighty Devil Flame Sword, the L3 was also instantly beheaded, its head rolling onto the floor.

The L3s were known for their impregnable defence and immense strength. Since its tough armor was broken through by Yue Zhong, its threat level diminished. Of course, if Yue Zhong was struck by the charge of the L3, his Encompassing Bone Armor might not be able to withstand that overly fearsome strength.

After killing the L3 with a single slash of his blade, his left hand shot out 3 extremely sharp Bone Spears towards the neck. Startlingly, the Bone Spear that could kill an L2 instantly, only managed to create a white mark on that L3's neck with a sharp 'ding' as though it had hit metal.

"To use the Bone Spear to deal with these L3 is really too exhausting!" Yue Zhong frowned, as he thought to himself. The Devil Flame Sword was truly terrifying, but likewise, it expended a huge amount of his energy, and was not meant for long battles. If he could possess a sharp weapon, dealing with these high-level zombies would be easier.

Yue Zhong's attack had angered the L3. It swiftly stepped forward, and a fist that was the size of a wok came swinging towards him, bringing with it a terrifyingly formidable air pressure.

The L3 had strength equivalent to 18 men! Thus, each fist consisted of a few tonnes of raw power and it could pummel even an armored vehicle easily. If Yue Zhong was hit by that, even with his enhancements, he would definitely be heavily injured.

Facing the mountain-like L3, Yue Zhong zipped about like a spectre, dodging its repeated attacks. At the right moment he swung his flame sword down, beheading the L3!

The S3's that were encircling Yue Zhong seemed to have seen their opportunity, they rushed forward, surrounding him in just an instant and reached out to slash at him.

As he saw the sudden ambush by the 10 S3's, Yue Zhong activated his Gravity skill so that those attacking S3's would be weighed down by the increased gravity. It had appeared as though their lean bodies had gained an extra 100 jin, and their speed decreased substantially.

The increased gravity did not affect the L3 which was Strength-based, but to those Agility-based S3's? It was an utterly lethal move. Under that pressure, they had lost their only advantage: speed.

Facing these S3's that had slowed down, Yue Zhong did not hesitate, swinging his Devil Flame Sword about in attack, he easily decimated the 10 S3's.

After killing those S3's, Yue Zhong charged towards the remaining L3's. With a few plain slashes of his blade, the remaining L3's were all wiped out.

After taking care of these high-level zombies, Yue Zhong swiftly swept any and all drops into his storage ring and jumped on Greenie's back before they flew to the skies. Yue Zhong's strength was indeed tyrannical, but even he could not fend off 100,000 zombies.

When he was in the skies, he looked once more at the battlefield below, only to discover that the once-concentrated and densely packed horde had broken up, scattering in different directions within their various smaller groups.

There were some remnant groups that were still attacking the armored fleet, but even more were dispersing and lumbering off.

The death of the Z2 had caused the horde to lose their commander, and many of the zombies were standing around blankly, without a hint of their hostility earlier.

Xu Zhengang who was stationed within the command centre had noticed the horde breaking apart, and immediately ordered the 1st Division to begin their assault on the leaderless horde.

When the 1st Division arrived at the battlefield, most of the zombies had already broke away, running with a Z1 and escaped in different directions. Those that remained on the battlefield were a few hundred thousand which were still moving mindlessly forward.

Although the horde looked as dominating as ever, without the command of a leader, they could not form into wave after wave of coordinated attack. They could only advance with instinct, and that kind of assault posed no threat to the power of the 1st Division. Pretty soon, they were overcome easily.

The huge horde had dispersed and were scattered everywhere, so even when the soldiers fought till evening time, the 1st Division could not totally annihilate the zombies. They could only retreat under the cover of the armored battalion. It was simple truth that fighting during the night was too disadvantageous.

However, since the commanding Z2 was taken care of, the remaining zombies were still scattered. Having to suddenly evolve a new Z2 required time as well.

The next day, Xu Zhengang got an early start, and had already led the entire 1st Division to launch countless assaults on the various zombie groups both here and running.

As these groups were comprised of mostly ordinary zombies, and their mobility was severely impaired, Xu Zhengang and his troops swiftly caught up.

Under the constant bombardment of the Armored Battalion, huge patches of zombies were blasted into pieces. As a result, those Z1's hiding within these groups abandoned the mini-hordes and retreated under the protection of the other evolved zombies.

With Greenie's help, Yue Zhong managed to dispose of another 4 Z1's, but there were still 3 of them who managed to escape with the cover of other evolved zombies.

Losing the command of the remaining Z1's, the horde of zombies turned into free exp, allowing the troops to slaughter with no efforts whatsoever. Xu Zhengang commanded the troops forward and they took care of the remaining zombies with extreme ease.

The intense battle continued for another 5 whole days, and almost 700,000 of the zombies were annihilated without the control of their Z2 or Z1's.

In fact, they had managed to wipe out over 500,000 of them with the help of heavy firepower. Only because if this had the slaughter of the zombies achieved such a height.

After losing the command of the Z-Types, the zombies did not surge forward like they did initially, and hence the heavy artillery could not achieve similar results as that of the beginning.

After 5 days and almost wiping out all the zombies, Yue Zhong's troops made their way into Long Hai City.

"Congratulations, on recovering Long Hai City and gaining the title [Long Hai City Conqueror]! This title gives you 2 enhancement points in all attributes. This title cannot be re-earned! These enhancements can be stacked!"

"You have gained 3 levels, and gained 6 points of enhancement to be allocated for bringing an army to conquer Long Hai City."

"You have gained 10,000 Survivor Credits for bringing an army to conquer Long Hai City!"

"You have gained a Level 4 Defence Vest for bringing an army to conquer Long Hai City!"

"You have gained an additional skill enhancement point for bringing an army to conquer Long Hai City!"

The moment Yue Zhong stepped into Long Hai City, the various notifications resounded in his head. A huge beam of experience appeared out of nowhere and entered his body, pushing his level to reach Level 48, and garnering him 6 points of enhancement to be allocated.

Yue Zhong chose to enhance 4 points into Agility, and the other 2 into Stamina.

"Level 4 Defence Vest, equipping it provides a 15 enhancement points to all 6 attributes. Furthermore, the Defence Vest can deflect any bullet below a 25-calibre cannon round."

After conquering Long Hai City, Yue Zhong had really obtained a huge enhancement, especially this Level 4 Defence Vest, which was quite obviously a priceless item. It could make a normal person become virtually impervious to most firepower, and obtain stats twice that of another normal person.

As for the skill point enhancement, Yue Zhong did not even hesitate, and directly allocated the point into his Devil Flame. A magic light shined within his mind, as the rune for the Devil Flame glowed, before evolving once again.

"Level 3 Skill: Devil Flame (3 Enhancement level)…….x4 bonus to Devil Flame's initial attack power"

The moment he added the skill point to Devil Flame, his Devil Flame Skill had reached its maximum level. The next step for evolution would be saving 2 skill points before learning the Type 2 Devil Flame Skill.

In Qing Yuan City, there was a tense atmosphere. As everyone was working, they were also awaiting the news brought by Yue Zhong's troops on handling the Long Hai City issue.

If Yue Zhong lost, the terrifying horde would set its sights on Qing Yuan County next, and the recent peaceful lifestyle of theirs would be threatened again.

After 8 days had past, the quiet frontlines finally sent back some amazing news! "Victory!!! Victory!!! Commander Yue has brought his troops and wiped out the million-strong horde! He has already conquered Long Hai City!!! Long Hai City is ours!!!" One of the soldiers ran into Qing Yuan County, as he hollered at the top of his voice.

"That's awesome!!!"

"Great!!!"

"Praise to Yue Zhong!!"

Hearing this news, all the survivors in Qing Yuan erupted in cheers. They had been praying and hoping for the news of victory. Such sweet news meant that they were free from any zombie threats for a long time. They could set their mind at ease to work, and live on with pride and dignity. The entire Qing Yuan County celebrated, as everyone fell into a festive mood.

After Yue Zhong conquered Long Hai City, he immediately deployed his troops to continue their assault on the zombies in the surrounding towns. Long Hai City had over 6,000,000 citizens previously, and Yue Zhong had only conquered its City centre.

In the villages all around, there were still countless zombies scattered about. If they didn't take care of them now, these zombies could gather again under the birth of another Z-Type, or even evolve and pose a threat to them.

Humans had a strong adaptation ability, so they would do anything to survive. Even when Long Hai City was overrun by over a million zombies, after Yue Zhong had conquered the City, he managed to find over 2,000 survivors from various corners of the City. These survivors had long since been starved and were emaciated severely. Most were down to their very last breaths. At the same time, he found 165 Enhancers, of which 32 had already leveled above Level 30.

Yue Zhong immediately brought them into his troops, and the 32 Enhancers over level 30 were brought into the Special Combat Forces, becoming part of them.

Yue Zhong also brought about 100,000 survivors from Qing Yuan County and Ning Guang County over to stay at Long Hai City. With an influx of human survivors, the various production plants and factories started operating again.

Liu Yujiao had introduced many people of talents to Yue Zhong, and together with various professionals, new bullets and ammunitions were starting to be manufactured. Of course, since the new workers were not like the factory workers from before the apocalypse, the speed at which ammunition was being manufactured was not as fast.

Even though Yue Zhong had obtained victory over the million-zombie horde, he had expended quite a bit and suffered some loss. After clearing those zombies, his total ammunition count from the warehouse had dropped to half of its original count. As of the near future, he had no means of waging another huge war against another horde of zombies.

After conquering Long Hai City, Yue Zhong's prestige had reached its highest among the survivors, and his soldiers all held high hopes for the future.

"Commander Yue!! The Snake Birth Fruit Tree has again born fruits!!" Xiao Ming found Yue Zhong and reported to him.

Xiao Ming was also a veteran who had followed Yue Zhong from the very start, he had led a small team of elite soldiers and guarded the Mechanized Infantry Brigade with fervor. The location of the Brigade was a classified secret, and other than a few top officials within Yue Zhong's team, no one was allowed to get even relatively near to the Mechanized Infantry Brigade camp.

The fruits of the Snake Birth Fruit tree that could cause people to evolve was the most highly secured trump card of Yue Zhong's.

Chapter 305 – Type 3 Nether Beast!

"It bore fruit?" Yue Zhong's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Xiao Ming to the Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

Currently, there were sentries everywhere within the Mechanized Infantry Brigade. All the soldiers were equipped with modern weaponry, and every 2 soldiers had a rocket launcher and grenade launcher. Furthermore, there were 2 IFVs and 2 Red Arrows hidden within the darkness.

Following Xiao Ming's lead, Yue Zhong came to the trunk of the enormous Snake Birth Fruit tree.

Right in front of the tree, there was the beautiful Chen Yao who was decked in military uniform. Chen Yao had become a female officer with the rank of lieutenant after joining Yue Zhong's troops. Her combat abilities could not match Ji Qingwu, hence she did not join the Special Combat Forces, instead, she chose to take a position within the military. She had the Manipulate Flora ability, and she had come to the Mechanized Infantry Brigade in search of powerful Mutant Plant seeds.

Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong who was approaching closer, and her eyes flashed with a complicated gleam. This average-looking student who had not raised many eyebrows when he was at school, had actually grown to a leader who was supporting over a 100,000 survivors, had defeated countless zombies and beasts, and actually subdued a few cities. As for her – who was the object of adoration from countless males – she had actually become his subordinate. Some things in the world are just too strange.

[Dedition: Considering you're in a zombie apocalypse, I'm surprised that THIS is what makes you think the world is too strange.]

Yue Zhong glanced at Chen Yao, as he gave a slight nod, before lifting his head up towards the Snake Birth Fruit tree.

Chen Yao and Ji Qingwu knew about the tree and were the rare few who could approach it. Their relationship was extremely close. Chen Yao also knew of the secrets of this tree. As she was one of the first few followers of Yue Zhong, she was also someone Yue Zhong trusted.

Chen Yao glanced at Yue Zhong, and a glint again appeared in her eyes, as she walked to his side without saying anything.

Although she liked Yue Zhong, her pride and dignity would not allow her to make the first move. Since Yue Zhong had not chased her of his own accord, she would not lower herself to beg for his love. However, she could not help but want to get closer to him.

Witnessing this, Xiao Ming left discreetly, not wanting to become a lightbulb in between them.

[Dedition: Am I the only one who'd like every female not to "want to get closer"?]

Since finding out that the fruits of the Snake Birth Fruit tree could cause people to evolve, Yue Zhong did not order anyone to pluck the fruits. Instead, he assigned a huge number of troops to bring the corpses of the zombies to become fertilizer for the tree.

The tree could really absorb, regardless of how many bodies were thrown onto its roots, it would quickly absorb the nutrients, leaving only the bones on the ground. The bones themselves were also stripped of all essence, becoming very brittle, just a light touch could cause them to crumble and disappear.

After a few hundred thousand zombie corpses, the Snake Birth Fruit tree finally bore fruit again. Atop its wide and beautiful canopy, there were countless huge pink flowers, and within them, countless green colour fruits.

Yue Zhong swiftly climbed atop the canopy to conduct a quick search, discovering only 13 pink fruits and 63 green fruits.

"Good!! With this 13 pink fruits, I can gain another 13 Evolvers!" Yue Zhong eyed the 13 pink fruits, and his eyes flashed, as he reached out his hands for the fruits.

"Yue Zhong!! Look out!!" Right as Yue Zhong was about to grab the fruits, Chen Yao who was standing below looked up and her expression changed, shouting shrilly. At the same time, she threw a strange seed down, and a vine instantly sprouted upwards bringing her towards the canopy.

Hearing Chen Yao's shrill warning, Yue Zhong's heart tightened as he lifted his head. He saw a monster with weird engravings and magic circles all over its blue body, a single horn on its forehead. Its body was long like a snake with no wings, but it was floating in the sky, and it was charging right at him.

"Level 75 Mutant Beast: Type 3 Nether Beast!"

Yue Zhong saw the Type 3 classification, and his expression changed to that of horror, before he immediately activated his Bone Encompassing Armor and Shadow Steps. At the same time, he waved his hand, pulling out the PF98. It was the single most powerful weapon Yue Zhong carried with him at all times, and facing this fearsome Type 3 Mutant Beast, he could only wager it all and hope for the best.

Yue Zhong had just activated his skills, when the Type 3 Nether Beast's horn started glowing and it opened its mouth, as an array of mysterious circles were spat out, shooting towards Yue Zhong.

At that instant, the strange array enveloped Yue Zhong and Chen Yao who had just arrived in front of him.

In a huge flash, Yue Zhong and Chen Yao disappeared.

The Nether Beast then proceeded to fly atop the canopy, opening its huge mouth, and swallowed every single green fruit. After absorbing the 63 green fruits one by one, it flew unhurriedly towards the distance.

The huge Snake Birth Fruit tree had been surrounded by cameras, and the scene of Yue Zhong and Chen Yao disappearing after the Nether Beast swallowed them had been captured on the screens.

The entire Mechanized Infantry Brigade was activated and the soldiers piloted 4 anti-aircraft guns out and started firing wildly into the skies at the Nether Beast.

However, the speed of the Nether Beast was too fast, and in a few moments, it had travelled far into the horizon.

Soon the news of Yue Zhong's disappearance had travelled to the upper echelons of Yue Zhong's party, and their hearts were shaken.

Chi Yang swiftly recalled all the high ranking officials of both the government and military, and conducted a serious meeting.

"Yue Zhong has gone missing!" The moment they arrived, Chi Yang spoke with a grim face.

Hearing that news, everyone's expression was that of shock, all of their hearts shaken. If Yue Zhong was around, no one dared to start anything funny, but with his disappearance, it would be hard to control this bunch of mavericks.

Da Gouzi was the first one to speak out: "Commander Yue will be fine!! He's so strong, his disappearance this time would not be an issue as well. If anyone dares to betray Commander Yue! I, Da Gouzi, will be the first to deal with him!"

As one of the first few loyal supporters of Yue Zhong, Da Gouzi's achievements had all been a result of Yue Zhong's efforts. He was fiercely loyal and believed in him, he did not want the strongholds Yue Zhong established to be snatched away like that.

Kong Tianyu also piped in with a grim face, looking all around and said fiercely: "Who dares to betray Commander Yue? I will be the first to kill him!"

Wu Guang also spoke out coldly: "Our 1st Division will only listen to Commander Yue!! If anyone dares to betray Commander Yue, our 1st Division will definitely not let the person go!!"

"Don't worry, no one has that intention!!" Chi Yang frowned, as he spoke out softly: "I have gathered you all to inform you, at the same time, hope you guys can maintain your calm. I believe Yue Zhong will be fine, and he will be back just like previously. We just need to get on with our matters as always, and wait for his return."

Hearing Chi Yang's words, everyone present relaxed. As long as there was no rebellion, everything was fine. It was not like it was the first time Yue Zhong had disappeared, and they believed that Yue Zhong would create miracles, and come back again.

Chi Yang spoke out extremely calmly: "Before Yue Zhong left, he did discuss with me about the next target, which would be Lei Jiang City!! Our next target shall be to conquer Lei Jiang City. Before we set off to do that, we need to make sure that the surrounding villages around Long Hai City are cleared of zombies…"

Under Chi Yang's calm and reassuring demeanor, the entire room was affected, and soon the shock and anxiety from Yue Zhong's disappearance wore off, as they listened to Chi Yang giving out orders.

After the meeting, the generals who held power quickly left, and brought their troops to clear out the zombies surrounding Long Hai City.

Inside the office, a beauty dressed in an OL uniform (OL: Office Lady) walked towards Chi Yang. She was Wang Qian, and she spoke out with undisguised ambition: "Chi Yang!! Yue Zhong has gone missing, it's your chance now. As long as you act, the entire establishment will be yours. You will become the leader of these 100,000-over survivors. You can act independently and there will be no more need to hide in Yue Zhong's shadow!"

[Dedition: Last time, I swear. I've always been waiting for someone to try to usurp his power.]

Wang Qian had always felt disgruntled with Chi Yang being Yue Zhong's second-in-command. To her, based on Chi Yang's abilities, he could become a capable tyrant. However, because of his relationship with Yue Zhong, he would forever be number 2, and she was extremely unhappy about it.

Chi Yang who was shuffling and tidying his documents looked up and stared at Wang Qian with a cold gaze.

When she was looked upon like that by Chi Yang, Wang Qian was shocked as she spoke loudly: "Chi Yang!! I'm thinking for you!! Think about it, Yue Zhong has always been disappearing. It has always been you who held the fort. You have done so much for the establishment. What's wrong with wanting it for yourself? It's not like he single-handedly carved out the establishment."

Chi Yang looked at Wang Qian, his eyes filled with disappointment as he pointed to the door: "Get out! From now on, we're no longer friends. You're dismissed of any official positions! I don't want to see you anymore."

Wang Qian was shocked and immediately kneeled by his leg as she pleaded: "Chi Yang, what are you doing?! I'm doing this with the best intentions!! I love you deeply!! Please don't chase me away!!"

Chi Yang glared at this woman who forgot her benefactor so easily, and ignored her, shouting: "Men! Drag her out of here!!"

2 soldiers walked in, and grabbed Wang Qian, pulling her out.

"I love you Chi Yang!! Don't throw me away!! I was wrong!!" Wang Qian pleaded miserably as she cried out.

"I don't love you!" Chi Yang coldly glanced at Wang Qian, before he continued clearing the documents. He had no interest in Wang Qian's suggestion. Asking him to betray his best friend and comrade, he would rather die. Wang Qian had thought too little of Chi Yang's character.

—————————————————————————————————————————-TN: Would have made an interesting plot line for the future :\ I half expected Chi Yang to say: "The one I love is him" OH NOOOO

It's the end of Book 2! See you guys back for Book 3 ????

Chapter 306 – Remote Jungle!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

With a large flash, Yue Zhong and Cheng Yao landed in a forest.

The array that the Nether Beast had spat out was called Spatial Transportation Array, its innate ability was the free control over space and its laws. Yue Zhong and Chen Yao had been absorbed into the array, and transferred to this random foreign place without the slightest ability to resist.

When Chen Yao landed, she fell into Yue Zhong's embrace; fortunately Yue Zhong was sturdy, and did not suffer any injuries.

As Yue Zhong hugged Chen Yao, his heart could not help but skip a beat as he felt that warm and fragrant body. Chen Yao was after all one of the school flowers. She and Ji Qingwu were the pair of scholar and athlete, that held the pride of Yue Zhong's school.

There were countless guys who had been wooing her, and Yue Zhong was just an ordinary university student who was struggling to study while working part-time, and both of them never had the chance to interact.

Chen Yao had slammed into Yue Zhong's embrace. Feeling the warmth of his protection, she was reluctant to get up. However, her prideful nature pushed her to get up from his arms, as her face reddened before saying: "Sorry, it must have hurt!"

Yue Zhong felt a little regret as he lightly smiled: "It's ok!"

Chen Yao observed her surroundings, only to see a seemingly infinite amount of trees, as she asked a little fearfully: "Where do you think we are?"

Yue Zhong laughed bitterly: "No idea."

"However, we're unlikely to be in Long Hai City." Yue Zhong observed the surroundings, looking at the dense foliage and large patches of Mutant Plants, as he frowned and continued.

Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong helplessly: "What do we do?"

Although Chen Yao had also become a Level 13 Enhancer with the help of Ji Qingwu, her natural combat abilities were not exceptional, and she was never interested in going down the route of a combatant. Now that they had met with danger, she automatically looked to Yue Zhong for guidance.

Yue Zhong pulled out a compass from his storage ring, studying it for a while: "Let's walk to the south!"

Chen Yao followed behind him as he started walking towards the south. White Bones had already separated from Yue Zhong's body wielding its iconic large axe, walking beside Chen Yao quietly. After gaining basic intelligence, it could already make the judgement of who to protect.

[Dedition: Being able to deduct the strength of those around you and knowing whom to protect even though you've sworn fealty to a master. I dare not call that 'basic intelligence'.]

Inside that vast forest, the ground was muddy. Not long after, both of their military boots were covered in mud. Chen Yao's path of enhancement had largely been on Spirit, after walking in that forest for just 2 hours, her face was flushed and her breath ragged.

"Wear this." Yue Zhong observed Chen Yao, before pulling out a Level 3 Defence Vest out, throwing it at her.

"Thank you!" Chen Yao received it and immediately knew the effects of this Level 3 Defence Vest. A sweet feeling arose in her heart, as she thanked Yue Zhong.

The drop rate of Defence Vests were always low, and Yue Zhong only had this Level 3 Defence Vest in his entire stronghold. As for his Level 4 Defense Vest, he only had 1 as well.

After Chen Yao put on the Level 3 Defence Vest, her body felt lighter instantly, and she could match Yue Zhong's pace.

Both of them continued for another half an hour, when they suddenly heard some rustling sounds. Huge spiders the size of human faces started swarming and crawling towards Yue Zhong, Chen Yao and White Bones in a frenzy.

"Level 16 Mutant Beast: Mutant Venomous Spiders! They possess sharp fangs with paralyzing properties, and as long as they are gathered in a group, they are the most feared killers within the forest!!"

The Mutant Venomous Spiders crawled out from various corners of the forest, packed together densely. It was likely they numbered above 500.

Most girls were usually scared of creepy crawlies such as these, Chen Yao was no different. The moment she caught sight of those spiders the size of a dinner plate with their vicious expressions, her face turned pale, and her hands so clammy, that she even forgot to activate her Flora Manipulation ability.

Yue Zhong on the other hand, had already taken out a .05 submachine gun and started firing wildly at those spiders.

White Bones also started waving its huge axe about, as each flash of the axe meant the death of a disgusting spider.

With Yue Zhong's firing and White Bones limitless hacking, the Mutant Venomous Spiders were decimated, as their disgusting slime were splattered all over the forest ground, which made Chen Yao even paler, to the point of nausea.

As those Mutant Venomous Spiders had weak defences, but quick speeds, even with Yue Zhong's constant firing, a few actually managed to reach his side.

Yue Zhong swiftly kept the .05 submachine gun back inside his ring, and brought out his Dark Tooth Blade, before swinging it casually and splitting the a few Mutant Venomous Spiders into two.

After the deaths of more than 200 Mutant Venomous Spiders, the rest of the spiders finally noticed that this group of 3 weren't a pushover, as they retreated swiftly.

The corpses of those 200 Level 16 Mutant Venomous Spiders only gave Yue Zhong 3 white treasure boxes and 600 survivors credits. With the passing of time, even the drops of the Mutant Beasts were diminishing in amount and power.

Yue Zhong opened up the 3 white treasure boxes, with a flash, out of the 3, he only managed to take out a white wood cutting knife.

"Level 1 Treasure, Wood Cutting Knife. This treasure can allow you to hack dead wood and weeds, carving a path for yourself within forests."

To Yue Zhong, this Level 1 treasure was not particularly useful, therefore he kept it in his storage ring.

He turned back, and discovered that Chen Yao was crouching and vomiting.

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Yao and frowned: "Chen Yao!! You can't go on like this!! We are currently in a dangerous position, even though we're within a forest. You have to be able to protect yourself, otherwise what will happen if I can't get to you during a critical moment."

If it was within Yue Zhong's establishments, he would not mind her princess behaviour. Even when it was expanding and growing, Chen Yao had remained safe and secure within it. However, they were far away from the safety of their base, and the world was one where the strong preyed on the weak. Her current constitution would only invite countless trouble.

Chen Yao gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "I know…Yue Zhong! I will do my best not to drag you down!"

After which, the trees started moving, as a huge group of Mutant Monkeys were coming closer. The moment they saw Yue Zhong and Chen Yao, they let out excited shrieks, and charged faster.

"Take care of them." Yue Zhong ordered Chen Yao.

Chen Yao's beautiful eyes flashed with splendor, as she threw 5 Mutant Vine seeds on the ground, activating her Plant Manipulation ability.

Instantly, the 5 seeds grew into small vines, and they shot out towards the Mutant Monkeys in a rush, strangling them to death.

Chen Yao possessed the Level 3 Skill: Plant Manipulation, which was a powerful skill as well. It was just that she disliked fighting, and even though she had a strong ability, she was only Level 13.

As for Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces, there were many over Level 30 Enhancers and not a single one had a Level 3 Ability, and had actually relied on the various Level 1 or 2 abilities to rise in level and fight.

On one hand, it was that these Level 3 Skills did not just appear freely, on the other hand, most of the strong skills had already been possessed by someone like Yue Zhong, who learnt a few. That was why many of the Enhancers did not have them.

As these Mutant Monkeys were strangled to death one by one, the rest of the group still numbered over 300, and a huge number of them charged towards Yue Zhong's party.

White Bones waved its huge axe, and became like a tornado that charged into the midst of the monkeys, attacking and creating a whirlwind and rain of blood. This way, countless Mutant Monkeys lost their limbs and lives.

Yue Zhong just stood in front of Chen Yao, protecting her, as he watched her control her vines to kill the monkeys. Those who managed to get past White Bones and were rushing towards Chen Yao would be immediately picked off by Yue Zhong.

Under Yue Zhong's protection, Chen Yao focused her attention on using those 5 vines to continue strangling the Mutant Monkeys, as she gained huge orbs of experience and levelled up.

As Chen Yao was hunting the Mutant Monkeys, those Mutant Monkeys suddenly abandoned all thoughts of attacking Yue Zhong's party, as they swiftly retreated into the distance.

"Hurry escape!!" Yue Zhong's Danger Perception had also notified him, giving him an unprecedented sense of crisis, as he shouted at Chen Yao, and he rushed forward.

Chen Yao turned around, only to see countless enormous snakes with huge mouths that could easily suck her into their stomachs, covered by large green scales, slithering over towards them.

"Level 42 Mutant Beast: Mutant Forest Venomous Snake! It possesses sharp venomous fangs and huge strength. They hunt in groups."

"Wait for me!!" Chen Yao looked at those Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes slithering over. Her face fell, and she shouted out desperately, based on her current abilities, she had no way of winning against these Level 42 creatures.

One of the Mutant Snakes saw Chen Yao, and it opened its jaws, shooting toward her with incredible speed and accompanying wind pressure.

Chen Yao knew that she could not escape the Mutant Snakes with her speed, and hence she commanded the 5 vines to attack the Mutant Snake attacking her.

If Chen Yao was a Level 30 Enhancer that had enhanced her Plant Manipulation Skill thrice, her vines could maybe wrap and cause damage to the Mutant Snake. However, her strength was insufficient to even impede the movements of the snake.

The Mutant Forest Venomous Snake twisted with strength, and the 5 vines were instantly broken apart, as it charged towards Chen Yao with its mouth open.

Chen Yao looked at the Mutant Forest Venomous Snake her eyes full of despair.

Chapter 0307 – Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Just as Chen Yao was about to be swallowed whole by the Mutant Forest Venomous Snake, there was a flash! The huge Devil Flame Sword swung down, directly beheading the Mutant Forest Venomous Snake and causing lukewarm blood to fountain out, splattering onto Chen Yao.

"You're still not running!!" Yue Zhong held the Devil Flame Sword as he pulled Chen Yao and bellowed.

One or 2 of these Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes would not be much of an issue to Yue Zhong, but if the entire group was to charge over, it would be tough. Furthermore, Yue Zhong had detected something with his danger sense. He was almost certain there were multiple Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes on their way here!

Having to deal with this many Mutant Snakes, Yue Zhong would have to give it his all.

With Yue Zhong's voice shocking Chen Yao awake, she gritted her teeth and followed Yue Zhong as she ran.

"White Bones! Protect her!!" Yue Zhong eyed Chen Yao, before ordering White Bones.

With her current running speed, it was impossible for Chen Yao to outrun those Mutant Snakes. Yue Zhong could only give it his all to battle with them.

Seeing their own comrades being killed by Yue Zhong, those Mutant Snakes opened their jaws to attack him.

Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps at the first opportunity, and moved so fast in and out of the huge group of snakes, he seemed to teleport! The serpents were seemingly dancing in an demonic way, weaving in and out of each other as they lunged and snapped with their cruel poison fangs. He blocked a venom ball spit at him as he slashed and attacked repeatedly with his Devil Flame Sword causing the striking snakes to be decapitated after each swing.

After killing 6 or 7 of the Mutant Forest Snakes the fishy smelling blood congealed on the ground in small puddles and Yue Zhong had finally arrived in front of the 2 Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes.

"Level 60 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake. It resides in the deep parts of the forest, and can easily crush and swallow an elephant whole. It also possesses a Consumption skill and a venom with nearly a unrivaled corrosive nature"

2 huge snakes the size of a house were coiled together like some demented lesser Orochi or some such beast. Yue Zhong looked up and saw that their bodies had scales as big as faces, and they they expertly blended in with their surroundings while emitting a terrifying aura.

The 2 Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes eyed Yue Zhong with their intelligent serpentine glare, as though they were looking at a weak and easily swallowable prey.

One of them opened its jaws wide, and started to Inhale with all its strength, as a monstrous consuming vortex pulled on Yue Zhong, threatening to yank him into its gaping maw.

Within that huge suction force, countless stone fragments, twigs and leaves were all gulped into the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake's mouth, disappearing into the inky blackness.

Yue Zhong pulled out his Black Tooth Blade and struck it down furiously into the ground to stop himself from being drug by the consumption ability. As he secured his footing, he turned around pointing his finger at the Type 2 Mutant Snake and conjured a Devil Fireball which flew along with everything else in the air before exploding in its mouth.

While the small fireball could not take the life of such an enormous beast, exploding in its mouth would surely cause it terrible and unimaginable pain.

The Type 2 Mutant Snake let out an a bloodcurdling screech which turned into an anguished howl as it closed its huge mouth.

Yue Zhong did not dare to be careless, and immediately pulled out his PF98, firing a round after aiming it at that Type 2 Mutant Snake.

The missile shot forward with a flash, as it exploded on the body of the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake, resulting in a predictably large and bloody hole.

Other than Turtle who had the Ice Manipulation Ability which placed it amongst the top Type 2 Mutant Beasts, Yue Zhong had not come across any other Type 2 Mutant Beasts that could withstand a round from the PF98.

However, this Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake was apparently pretty fearsome. After suffering that attack from the PF98, even though it had a huge hole in its body now and even though it bleed steadily, it still did not die. As It struggled in immense pain, it crashed and flopped, causing the trees around it to fall due to its massive body.

The other Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake opened its huge mouth, and a thick cloud of jade green poisonous gas shot towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's expression changed, and he activated his Devil Flame. He enclosed himself within the ball of flame, as he tried to navigate his way out of the oversized cloud of poison gas.

The coverage area of the poison gas skill was too huge however, even though Yue Zhong pushed his speed to the extreme, he had no way of breaking out of that gas in a short moment.

When the gas touched the trees and branches, they withered instantly, even the stones that got in range cracked and crumbled into dust. Any living creature that got caught within the enveloping gas was quickly turned into a puddle. It could be easily seen how terrifying the poison was.

When the jade green poison gas came into contact with Yue Zhong's Devil Flame that surrounded him, the Devil Flame blazed brightly and became the perfect counter. The gas would swoop in and instantly burn up with a swishing sound, at the same time, it turned into poisonous smoke that floated to the skies.

When Yue Zhong saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. As he continued to run, he waved his hands and another of his pre-loaded PF98 appeared. He aimed it at the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake and fired, and with a roar of flame, the rocket shot out explosively, spiraling towards its target.

Only this time, the rocket had not even left the PF98 for a terribly long distance, before it was Corroded by the poison gas, and immediately melted into a useless glob. The melted rocket soup simply splattered on the Type 2 Mutant Snake's body.

"Powerful!!" Yue Zhong exclaimed and sucked in a breath of humid air, as he witnessed the effects of the poison gas on his missile. If it wasn't for the protection of his Devil Flame, he would surely have long since been melted down!

The uninjured Type 2 Mutant Snake's eyes glinted with wrath, as it continually spewed out large volumes of the poison gas towards Yue Zhong.

A huge part of the gas also shrouded the Type 2 Mutant Snake itself, enveloping it, however, its scales and body excreted a strange mucus, which protected itself from its own poison.

Yue Zhong's Devil Flame was continually burning with crackles and hisses. Sadly, even though it was the perfect counter to the poison gas, with every second that it was activated, Yue Zhong's Spirit was being expended to support its activation.

"Damn bastard!! These Type 2 Beasts are indeed scary!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, as he left the epicentre of the poison gas, charging towards the Type 2 Mutant Snake.

In comparison with regards to holding out, Yue Zhong could not hope to match the Type 2 Mutant Snake with his Spirit and Stamina, he could only attempt to take down the Type 2 Mutant Snake within the short time period. This was the best way to ensure he had a fighting chance at survival. Fortunately, he had already injured the other Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake, otherwise he was most likely dead already.

In a few short breaths, Yue Zhong had arrived in front of the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake, as he condensed part of the Devil Flame into the 6m-long Devil Flame Sword and swung it down onto its scaled head.

After enhancing the skill three times, the Devil Flame Sword that required 20 Stamina and 50 Spirit points to form was seemingly invincible. The swing directly took the head of the snake off its body, causing blood to forcefully blast all over him, before the body slumped to the floor lifelessly.

"Congratulations on achieving Level 49. You have gained 2 points of enhancements to be allocated."

The moment Yue Zhong decapitated the Type 2 Mutant Snake, the sweet notification sound rang out within his mind.

Before Yue Zhong even made his decision, he felt a huge sense of danger behind him! He tried to turn but the distraction meant he didn't have the time to react, before the remaining Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake crashed into him viciously.

Yue Zhong was knocked forwards and crashed heavily into a tree by the charging attack! The resulting impact caused his ribcage to immediately snap in most places! If his body wasn't strong enough, or it was someone else with an Endurance of less than 70, this one move could easily take the life of that person.

Yue Zhong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and expended a fearsome 20 points of stamina to condense his Devil Flame Sword into a spear, flinging it with all his strength towards the remaining Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake.

The Devil Flame Spear shot towards the Type 2 Mutant Snake and through sheer luck penetrated its brain! The flame roared then immediately combusted, turning into raging fiery flames that started burning within the snake, roasting the brains and flesh, thereby turning them into ash.

After he took care of the remaining Type 2 Mutant Snake, he quickly made his way towards the perimeter of the gas with his heavy injuries.

With each step he took, Yue Zhong felt his sharp pains in his chest. Having a broken ribcage, most ordinary people would have found it hard to even walk. However, Yue Zhong's body was resilient, and with the Level 4 Skill: Regeneration, his body was already repairing itself. At most, it would require a day for him to return to his tiptop condition.

The other remaining 23 ordinary Mutant Forest Venomous Snake could feel the blood scent from Yue Zhong, and their eyes flashed with reptilian greed, as they quickly slithered over. Consuming high-level Mutant Beasts, Enhancers or even zombies would allow them to quickly evolve, and hence Yue Zhong was like a piece of delicious meat in their eyes.

"Even if I'm injured, you piled up trash shouldn't piss me off!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and he stopped running. Instead, he raised his hand and pulled out yet another pre-loaded PF98, and fired it at the group of Mutant Snakes.

With a flash, the group of Mutant Snakes were caught in the explosion, and many of their bodies were blasted into pieces.

Yue Zhong swiftly kept back his PF98, before he pulled out another PF98 and fired it at a single Mutant Forest Venomous Snake that was slithering towards him, exploding it to a rain of smoking meat balls.

The flashes from the firing continued without stop, as Yue Zhong aimed and fired all around him with a resolute look on his face. Countless Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes were blasted into smithereens, their blood puddling and corpse chunks piling up on the floor of the forest.

After 18 of the Mutant Snakes had died, the remaining 5 Mutant Snakes seemed to realise that Yue Zhong was too tough to handle, and they quickly slithered away.

When he saw that the remaining Mutant Snakes had retreated, he heaved a sigh of relief, and he checked his PF98's, discovering that there were only 9 rounds remaining. If he had to fire all of them, he would lose one of his strongest weapons.

Yue Zhong looked at the forest ground that was littered with the corpses, and his heart could not help but ache. These high-level Mutant Beasts were all treasures, as their meat could be treated as nourishment, and their bones could be formed into weapons, while their tendons could become good bows, and their hide turned into protective clothing.

However, he was currently without his subordinates, and his storage ring had a limit to its capacity, and hence he could only keep the truly precious items, regardless of how tempting and useful the corpses of these Mutant Beasts might be.

After the poison gas had dissipated, Yue Zhong walked to the 2 Type 2 Mutant Beasts that he had killed, and he picked up the 2 dropped skill books and 400 survivor credits.

"Level 3 Skill Book: Forest Ranger Transformation! Active Skill. After activation, user will become a forest ranger. Within the forest, user will be granted with high Agility, high danger perception, strongbow skills, extraordinary night vision, and the ability to navigate through any terrain. The strength after transforming into a Forest Ranger is dependant on user's 6 attributes. Can be maintained for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, user will be rendered weak."

[Dedition: Gotta love our MC's 'luck'.]

"Level 4 Skill Book: Type 2 Forest Ranger Transformation! Active Skill. Requires a 3 times enhanced Forest Ranger Transformation skill. Requires 2 Skill Points to use."

Yue Zhong looked at those books and he frowned, keeping them into his storage ring. They were skills meant for forest battles. Even though they were extremely useful in their current situation, it was specialized only in such terrains and was not suitable for Yue Zhong who was adapted to and focused on evolution in all situations.

Therefore, he instead opted to keep them and pass them down to someone suitable.

Yue Zhong looked at the corpses of the Type 2 Mutant Snakes, as he swallowed some Life Saving Grass, before burrowing into the head of one and pieces of the other snake, retrieving the blood essence and nuclei.

After digging those out, he took out his Black Tooth Blade and started carving the scales off.

The scales of these Type 2 Mutant Snakes were the same as the Type 2 Mutant Black Scaled Boars, if they are used to manufacture more armor, Yue Zhong would have more troops that would be impervious to guns and weapons, only their heads would be exposed.

In fact, Yue Zhong's troops suffered little loss overall, mainly due to the fact that a large number of them were protected and equipped with such defensive hides. They were much tougher than the protective vests prior to the apocalypse, and only heavy artillery could pose a threat to them.

Chapter 0308 – Mutant Leeches Rain, Myriad Mutant Mosquitos Swarm!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"Amazing!!" Chen Yao came to the clearing under White Bones' protection, and seeing the numerous corpses, her heart was filled with shock.

"Go skin the snakes!" Yue Zhong looked at Chen Yao, before he casually threw a Dark Magic Blade towards her.

Chen Yao accepted the Dark Magic Blade and did not say anything more, instead she went towards one of the Mutant Forest Venomous Snake corpses. Forcing down her fear and disgust, she started to pry open the tough scales.

White Bones walked to Yue Zhong's front, as it lifted its head to look at Yue Zhong. Suddenly it grabbed the venomous fangs and activated its Bone Manipulation Ability.

Upon activation the essence from the bones of the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake started flowing into White Bones. After about 5 minutes, the entire 70m-long skeleton was absorbed into White Bones.

The huge Type 2 Mutant Snake was reduced to half its size.

Yue Zhong retrieved 2 cups of Divine Spring Tea, and took out a can of Type 2 Meat and started helping himself. With the nourishment from the Divine Spring Tea, his Spirit was replenishing at a quick rate. The Type 2 Meat also helped him regain a huge part of his energy. Using the Black Tooth Blade to skin the scales of the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake was too tedious, and it could not match the ease of using his Devil Flame.

Using the Divine Spring Tea, Life-Saving Grass as well as the Type 2 Mutant Beast Meat, Yue Zhong's injuries started to heal at an extreme rate. His Level 4 Regeneration ability was boosted with the help of the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, and his broken ribcage knitted itself back together with waves of horrendous itching. By the time he consumed the 8th canned meat, his ribcage had finished mending.

"The Level 4 Skill is truly powerful!" After his body recovered, Yue Zhong jumped down easily from the top of the Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake, before he stretched his healed body, and revealed a satisfied expression.

Yue Zhong activated his Devil Flame again, condensing a smaller 3m-long Devil Flame Blade, before he continued butchering the 2 Type 2 Mutant Forest Venomous Snake. In a short while, he turned them into sizeable chunks of meat.

Yue Zhong then enveloped the pieces of meat with his Devil Flame, burning them down into ash, before leaving the snake skin intact.

White Bones used its Bone Manipulation to clean up the Mutant Beasts' bones, while Yue Zhong made use of his Devil Flame to clean the blood and meat, and all that was left was the precious snake skins.

Using these methods, Yue Zhong soon turned the 20 corpses of the Mutant Snakes into ashes, leaving only the skins.

"Let's go!" After finishing, Yue Zhong turned to Chen Yao and spoke.

Chen Yao followed Yue Zhong as they started to walk out.

"Shit!!" Yue Zhong had just taken 2 steps, when his face changed, and he immediately grabbed Chen Yao and dashed towards the distance.

From a distance, a few gigantic Mutant Crocodiles could be seen crawling towards them. They were attracted by the smell of the blood from the Mutant Forest Venomous Snakes.

These Mutant Crocodiles were extremely deadly when they attacked, their speed almost too fast to be seen! When they were crawling on land, they did have a handicap but their speed still reached 3 times that of normal people!

Yue Zhong carried Chen Yao and ran like crazy, stopping only after a dashing nearly a kilometre away.

The moment they reached the 1km mark, passing by another patch of forest, small Mutant Leeches the size of 2 fingers dropped from the trees like rain.

"Level 6 Mutant Beast: Mutant Leech. These greedy bloodsuckers could drain even a Mutant Cow dry in roughly 30 seconds."

Yue Zhong's reaction was extremely quick. The moment those leeches dropped from the trees, he had already activated his Devil Flame skill. His right hand extended towards the sky as he conjured a terrible fire that enveloped all those Mutant Leeches.

With the burning of the Devil Flame, those who tried to drop and land on Yue Zhong and Chen Yao were immediately incinerated. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's quick reactions, he and Chen Yao would have long been latched on to by these disgusting worms.

Those who landed further away did not stop wiggling, as they made their way towards Yue Zhong and Chen Yao.

Chen Yao looked at those Mutant Leeches as they wiggled about and her eyes flashed with shock, as she stepped on them.

With each stomp of Chen Yao, those Mutant Leeches would be driven into the mud, but they did not stop moving about and we're obviously not affected by the kicks and squishes.

Leeches were originally extremely resilient, after mutation, their resilience mutated to become stronger, in addition to the muddy ground, it was hard for these Mutant Leeches to be stomped to death.

"Quick, let's leave!!" Yue Zhong grabbed Chen Yao, and activated the Tornado ability of the Tornado Necklace he had on, and a hurricane blew out with him in the centre, extending outwards.

With the strong gusts of winds, the moment those Mutant Leeches dropped, they would be blown away.

Yue Zhong carried Chen Yao and made his way towards the outskirts. Chen Yao was only about 100 jin (50kg), and Yue Zhong had no problems lifting her. When he was undergoing tough training, he usually carried over 200 jin (100kg).

They kept running, and finally they managed to extract themselves away from the leech-infested forest.

They had just exited from the Mutant Leech forest, when they heard the droning hum of countless wings, only to discover a huge swarm of black Mutant Mosquitoes! Each of them was the size of a finger, flying towards them like a huge windstorm.

"Level 2 Mutant Bug: Mutant Poison Mosquitoes! These countless little monsters will suck you dry by the time you notice them."

Yue Zhong's expression turned for the worst, and he again immediately activated his Devil Flame, enveloping him and the mosquitoes were predictably burnt up the moment they came in contact with the fire.

Chen Yao remained hugging Yue Zhong tightly, only by being in his embrace, did she feel the warmth and security. Initially, she thought that while she may not be an expert at Level 13, she was still at least capable of protecting herself. However, the events today and the future prospects had opened her eyes to the reality of the world. With her current measly strength, she was nothing to these fearsome Mutant Beasts and nature.

Even Yue Zhong who was pretty strong would be dead if he was surrounded by a group of Type 2 Mutant Beasts.

Yue Zhong charged straight at the windstorm of Mutant Mosquitoes, under the protection of the Devil Flame, a large number of them were instantly incinerated.

Feeling the fiery heat of the Devil Flames, the swarm of mosquitoes made to avoid Yue Zhong, and allowed him to run past them.

Only after breaking free and leaving them far behind, Yue Zhong then heaved a sigh of relief.

"We need to leave this place fast!!" Within this forest, they had met wave after wave of Mutant Beasts and Mutant Bugs, even Yue Zhong was starting to feel weary having to deal with them continuously. If he stayed there for too long, who knows, he might be worn down and killed if he was careless.

After leaving the swarm of Mutant Mosquitoes for yet another 1km, they had to deal with a few harassing Mutant Monkeys, before they finally saw a small town with a few buildings.

When they saw the small town, Yue Zhong eased up a little, compared with the Mutant Beasts with different types of abilities and numbers, the ordinary zombies from a town were definitely easier to handle.

As long as there wasn't a horde of over 10,000 zombies, Yue Zhong had confidence he could wipe them out.

Yue Zhong pondered for awhile, before he took out a huge bag with food and tools from inside the storage ring. That way, regardless of how he retrieved anything, people would assume he took it from the bag, and not suspect it was due to the precious storage ring.

After settling this, Yue Zhong brought Chen Yao towards the small town.

The moment they entered, the zombies who caught scent of the smell of humans lumbered over.

"Get rid of them!!" Yue Zhong eyed those zombies, and gave a command to Chen Yao.

Now there was only the 2 of them, Yue Zhong had no choice but to push Chen Yao, he did not want to drag along a burden in this alien location.

Within the forest, if there wasn't Chen Yao, he could at least survive on his own. But since he had her along, it would be dangerous. He needed to ensure her safety, which would put himself into more danger, and it would be hard to escape from it.

When Chen Yao heard Yue Zhong's orders, she grabbed a vine seed, and activated her skill, in a blink, the vine seed transformed into a huge vine that went straight for the heads of those zombies.

These unevolved ordinary zombies were weak. It was so much so that even a heavy wooden plank could break their brittle bones, they were naturally unable to resist or defend against the strength of the vine, as it cut off their heads.

Those zombies that were constantly rushing up, regardless of L1s or S1s were all unable to handle the strength of that vine, allowing it to display its ferocious strength.

It was just that Chen Yao's abilities were simply too weak, her Spirit was too low, after killing over 20 zombies, her face was flushed and she was perspiring, her breath ragged. The control of the vine expended too much of her Stamina and Spirit.

"Alright, take a break!! Follow me!!" Yue Zhong saw that Chen Yao had lost half her battle strength, and lightly shook his head before charging into the zombie group.

The blade flashed about, any zombies that got too close would be immediately chopped up.

Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong easily crushing his way through the zombie group, her eyes filled with admiration and envy, as she followed him closely.

Chapter 0309 – This is Vietnam!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

"This isn't China!!" Yue Zhong was killing the zombies effortlessly, as he looked around, and discovered that the writings on the buildings around were characters he did not recognize.

After gaining the Language Skill, he learnt Russian, English, Chinese and Japanese. Yet the words on the buildings and constructions around did not match any of these 4 languages.

Yue Zhong aimed as he waved his blade about, killing another 3 zombies, before he asked Chen Yao: "These words, do you recognize them?"

Yue Zhong had been an ordinary student during his university days, and was always hardworking in his life as well as studies. However, prior to the Apocalypse, language was one of his weakest points.

Chen Yao casually looked at the surroundings and she saw more words. Then she took some time to think as she continued to scan her surroundings before replying: "I don't recognize these words. But I have a feeling this place is in Vietnam!

I have been to Hanoi for a holiday, and the words there and here seem very similar. Furthermore, there are many motorcycles, and the houses are built like matchboxes."

Chen Yao stared ahead, noticing that there was a pile of scattered coins on the road, as she immediately picked them up, and revealed a confident smile: "Now I'm very certain that this is Vietnam! Look Yue Zhong, these are Vietnamese Dong!"

Chen Yao waved the Vietnamese Dong, and was smiling extremely sweetly. She finally proved that she was not just a useless decoration, and could be useful when the situation required. 1*

Yue Zhong continued asking: "Which part of Vietnam do you think we are in?"

"Not sure…" Chen Yao felt discouraged.

"Regardless, let us first try and survive!!" Yue Zhong laughed lightly, before swinging his Dark Tooth Blade. He continued to care freely carve out a road of slaughter, leading Chen Yao and White Bones towards a small supermarket. Yue Zhong got White Bones to guard the entrance, while he and Chen Yao made their way into the building.

The moment they entered, Chen Yao rushed towards the female restroom, and grabbed a few rolls of sanitary napkins, skincare products, cleanser, soap and the like, stuffing them into a huge military bag.

"Why are you packing these items? You should pack more food and drinks right?" Yue Zhong grabbed a few canned food and beef before striding over, looking at Chen Yao stuffing those items into her bag as he asked cluelessly.

If Yue Zhong did not have the storage ring, he would definitely only keep food and high-calorie food, as well as water and weapons.

"Yue Zhong, you really don't understand women! These are necessities to us women." Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong, before saying a little coyly, "Also, don't you have a storage ring? Use that to keep more food and water!"

Without sanitary napkins and clean undergarments, Chen Yao felt that she would go crazy.

On top of that, with Yue Zhong's current strength, it was not an issue for him to obtain food, he pondered a while, and did not press for Chen Yao to throw those items away.

Yue Zhong then gave a pink Snake Birth Fruit to Chen Yao and said: "Eat this!!"

"Snake Birth Fruit!! You're really giving it to me?" Chen Yao looked at Yue Zhong handing her that precious fruit, her heart skipped a beat, as her beautiful eyes remain fixed on Yue Zhong, and asked with a shaky voice.

Snake Birth Fruit! The fruit of Evolution!! The secret of this Snake Birth Fruit was a classified secret even amongst Yue Zhong's stronghold, only Chi Yang, Ji Qingwu, Da Gouzi, Xu Zhengang, Liu Yan and Guo Yu, etc. Only the top brass knew about it.

Chen Yao only had knowledge of the secret of the Snake Birth Fruit because of her close relationship with Ji Qingwu, therefore, she knew it was extremely precious, that huge Snake Birth Fruit tree would only bear slightly less than a 100 fruits after consuming over a few hundred thousand zombies.

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Yao and said indifferently: "Just eat it!"

As they were in a foreign place, having the strength of one more combatant was definitely better! Although Chen Yao was weak, and lacking in battle experience, as well as possessing a low combat ability, after becoming an Evolver, her strength would definitely increase. This would be a good thing to him.

He didn't let Chen Yao evolve while they were in the forest because the evolution process required a day's worth of recuperation. The time period required meant that staying in the forest would be too dangerous.

Chen Yao received the Snake Birth Fruit and swallowed it without hesitation. Becoming an Evolver was the dream of many people. Even under Yue Zhong's command, the total number of Evolvers now were only about 30. Their preciousness and rarity was obvious.

After she swallowed the Snake Birth Fruit, she started to run a fever and as expected, fainted.

Yue Zhong carried her to the second storey, and laid her on a bed. He the strolled over to the nearby window and looked out, peacefully enjoying the scenery of the place.

On a small slope a distance away, 5 short Vietnamese were huddled within a grass patch. Whispering to themselves, they all stole glances towards the supermarket.

The supermarket had never been opened before, and there was bound to be plenty of food in it. At the same time, it was a man-eating trap. Many, many survivors had been enticed by the food and tried to open it up, but all failed miserably and became part of the zombies.

One of the more handsome Vietnamese men looked at the supermarket, before saying a little apprehensively: "Fan Tongxuan!! Do you really want to go over there? With just us? There's no way, we can't make it in. Let's go back!!"

Another man, who had extremely tanned skin, ripped muscles, and a fierce expression, responded in a gruff voice. "Damn it! Huniu Shishan, If you're scared get lost and go eat that other shit! That kind of life, I've had enough!! Tree bark, vegetable roots, sweet potatoes!! I'm sick of these unappetizing foods!!"

A wretched-looking man called out coldly: "Ai Luode! Then you charge up!! I will help you look after your daughter!! Nowhere other than her bed obviously!!"

The tanned and muscled man was a Vietnamese called Ai Luode. Even though he was Vietnamese, he had taken on an auspicious sounding foreign name. As for his original name, he had long since discarded it.

Ai Luode eyes flashed with fury, as he spat out the words: "Fang Chunyi, one more word from you and I'll slaughter you!!"

Fang Chunyi laughed coldly: "Not only am I not gonna stop, I will say even more! You let an American fuck your bitch of a daughter, why can't I? I know this, Tom fucked both your wife and daughter together!! I remember it was for a bag of instant noodles right!!"

That seemed to have hit a raw nerve. Tom was an actual American who was Ai Luode's backer before the apocalypse.

Due to his support, Ai Luode had managed to build a fortune for himself. The downside? As Tom's dog he had given his own wife to be teased and toyed with by Tom. After the apocalypse, he even gave his daughter to Tom in exchange for a bag of instant noodles.

Now, these dark and secret things that he did were actually mentioned by someone else, Ai Luode charged towards Fang Chunyi furiously, and they started to brawl.

The leader, Fan Tongxuan, who was holding a rifle immediately pointed it at the two men fighting and called out: "Shut up! Whoever causes trouble, your father, I, will kill that person first!"

During the Vietnam War, almost all the Vietnamese were soldiers so normal citizens had access to guns. Fan Tongxuan's family had carefully kept and saved a rifle. During these post-apocalyptic times, he had become the leader of a small faction just by relying on this rifle.

With that threat, both Fang Chunyi and Ai Luode separated, as they glared at each other.

One of the Vietnamese suddenly exclaimed softly: "Fan Tongxuan, there's someone inside the supermarket!!"

Everyone looked over, and saw Yue Zhong who was gazing out the window and observing the sights.

As they looked at Yue Zhong, their hearts were shaken with the thought: "What! There was actually someone inside!?! Impossible! There are 2 ghost zombies inside!!"

Only those Enhancers who possessed the Eyes of Perception could tell the information and abilities of the zombies and Mutant Beasts. Fan Tongxuan and the rest of these Vietnamese survivors weren't survivors, and could not tell the differences between zombies. They had thought that the S2's were ghost zombies.

Taking into account that S2's possessed speed far exceeding normal humans, with the 2 S2's hiding inside the supermarket, no ordinary humans could enter.

Yue Zhong's perception was extremely astute. The movement from those Vietnamese who saw him put him on alert! He zeroed in and caught sight of them through the Barrett Sniper rifle he had produced from his ring when he first was jolted into action. After sighting in he carefully aimed at them.

This Barrett Sniper rifle was one of the few treasures Yue Zhong obtained within the huge armory. It possessed absolutely devastating firepower, and its stability was top-notch.

"What? So they are just normal survivors?" Yue Zhong observed them carefully and quickly shouldered his Barrett Sniper rifle.

Fan Tongxuan and the rest of the Vietnamese had pale looks of fear and sweat. Their very best weapon was only an old Type 56 semi automatic rifle, which didn't pose much of a threat to Yue Zhong.

This single action from Yue Zhong had thoroughly frightened those Vietnamese silly. Only after Yue Zhong put away his gun, did they recover from their shock. They instantly bolted for cover, their hearts thumping with fear. They did not recognize that world-famous sniper rifle, but they could feel the pressure and danger from it.

Yue Zhong eyed these Vietnamese as they did not do anything wrong in his eyes. Merely, now that Chen Yao was recuperating, he needed to watch over her until she finished her Evolution.

Huniu Shishan's heart was thumping as he quickly said: "Let's leave now! Otherwise we will surely all be killed by him!!"

The rest of the Vietnamese all looked towards Fan Tongxuan.

Fan Tongxuan sighed for a moment, after thinking awhile, he could discern Yue Zhong's intentions to some degree. "No! If he had wanted to kill us, based on his abilities, a number of us would have died already! I believe he doesn't harbor any killing intent towards us…"

Chapter 0310 – Fan Tongxuan!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Huniu Shishan's eyes lit up: "Then we can trade with him!! Since he entered the supermarket, he must have a good haul! We can take some items to exchange with him!!"

One of the Vietnamese, Huan Yuanji frowned: "Since he already possesses the whole supermarket, what can we trade with him? Sweet potatoes? Wild vegetables? Or tree bark?"

These Vietnamese survivors were at their wits' end, otherwise they would not have risked their lives to come and make an attempt on this supermarket. They would naturally not have any items worth trading for.

Fan Tongxuan pondered deeply, before saying: "Women!! We can use women to exchange food with him!! Ruan Minghou, go call your sister over. Ai Luode, bring your daughter over as well."

1*

Both Ruan Minghou and Ai Luode both turned around silently, as they crouched and entered the forest, leaving the place.

After a while, a voluptuous, healthy-looking beauty of 1.6 metres with defining features as well as another 16-17 year old mixed-blood girl with blond hair, big black eyes and fair skin came over.

The healthy skinned voluptuous beauty was called Ruan Chunhua, and was Ruan Minghou's elder sister. The pretty mixed blood girl was Ai Luode's daughter, Aina.

Ruan Chunhua and Aina were the best beauties this little group could bring out. During this post-apocalyptic times, women selling themselves for food was not a big deal. They had slept with countless men, and were indifferent to the trade that these guys wanted to propose to Yue Zhong. There was more concern about how delicious the food would be.

On top of the arrival of the 2 ladies, they had brought a long white cloth, writing some Vietnamese words on it: "Esteemed powerful person, we hope to trade with you!"

Fan Tongxuan stood on the small slope and opened up that huge white cloth, as he looked expectantly at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong who was within the supermarket observing his surroundings looked at the words, and was still as blank as ever, he did not understand what they stood for.

He thought for a while, then found a bedsheet, and wrote on it with chinese: "I am Chinese!"

After which, Yue Zhong threw up the bedsheet and hung it out the window.

Fan Tongxuan stared at the bedsheet for awhile, before softly speaking: "That is chinese!! That man is from China!!"

Fan Tongxuan did not know Chinese as well, however, the words "China" were pretty obvious, and even he could recognize it. At the same time, based on the Chinese that Yue Zhong had written, he had formed the assumption that Yue Zhong was in fact from China.

Fan Tongxuan turned around and asked the rest: "Who knows Chinese here?"

One of the Vietnamese Wu Tongwen spoke out with a little anger: "Fan Tongxuan! Do we really have to deal with that Chinese guy? The Chinese aren't a good bunch! They stole our South China Sea!!"

2*

Amongst the Vietnamese, there were a few who were on friendly terms with the Chinese, while there was also a group who could not see eye to eye with them. This Wu Tongwen was on the side of those who disliked the Chinese.

Fan Tongxuan looked at Wu Tongwen as he frowned: "I don't really care about the damn sea. All I know is, if we don't deal with that Chinese guy, then we have to go into the Forest of Death to look for food. If you, Wu Tongwen, are willing to go look for food in the Forest of Death for all of us, then we'll leave now."

The rest of the survivors also looked at Wu Tongwen coldly. In the Forest of Death, there were countless fearsome Mutant Beasts and Bugs. Even for someone as strong as Yue Zhong, if he were to be the slightest bit careless, he could lose his life in there, not to mention an ordinary person like Wu Tongwen. Although they were locals, they were wary of the Forest of Death.

However, there were indeed some Mutant plants and various small Mutant Bugs that could be eaten. The risk of death was too high though, when this group of survivors was at its peak, there were 26 males who could go out to hunt for food, now they were only left with 7.

Fan Tongxuan had seen a survivor being sucked on by a Mutant Mosquito until he was literally dried up, that scary scene and the anguished howls of the survivor, caused him to be unable to sleep for a few nights.

To these survivors, the matters about territory, country and history couldn't be any less important. They just wanted to live on. Furthermore, the world had already become like it was, and they could not even fend for themselves, let alone worry about some useless piece of territory.

Seeing the cold gazes of his comrades, Wu Tongwen also calmed down, and shrank back like a quail. He was very clear about the dangers of the Forest of Death, he was also unwilling to risk his life to hunt for food in it.

Fan Tongxuan continued: "Who knows chinese?"

The rest of the 6 male survivors all looked at each other, as they shook their heads.

"I know a little chinese!" At this time, Ruan Chunhua stood up, and told everybody.

Ruan Chunhua had intended to marry off into China as a bride before the apocalypse, and had learnt a little basic chinese. She was unclear about the complicated phrases and words, but conversational chinese was still somewhat manageable.

Fan Tongxuan did not request for Ruan Chunhua to write some nonsense about China-Vietnam relations or a long-winded message, instead, he set the bar pretty low: "Great! Write this: 'Hello, esteemed powerful person, we hope to trade with you."

In this post-apocalyptic world, to these lone rangers, the relations between China and Vietnam was worth only shit. The only thing that could interest these characters was benefits.

Ruan Chunhua followed Fan Tongxuan's wishes and wrote those words on the white cloth, before Wu Tongwen waved it upon Fan Tongxuan's orders.

Yue Zhong stood at the window and saw the scrawly chinese characters, he chuckled, before he wrote: "Not free today! Come again tomorrow!"

Yue Zhong had to guard Chen Yao who was undergoing evolution, these survivors weren't of paramount importance to him. Of course, if he could gain some form of intel from their mouths, it would be best, otherwise, it wasn't an issue. Based on his strength, he just had to follow the path of civilization to come to a dwelling with humans.

Fan Tongxuan turned to Ruan Chunhua and asked: "What did he write?"

Ruan Chunhua thought hard before replying: "It should be that he's not free today! He wants us to come again tomorrow."

If Yue Zhong was unwilling to come over, Fan Tongxuan and the rest were helpless to that as well. The zombies were easy to kill for Yue Zhong, however, to these common survivors, a simple S2 and L2 could wipe them out, therefore, they did not dare enter the small town.

A day passed just like that, and Chen Yao who ran a fever throughout the night had successfully Evolved and woke up the next morning.

She opened her eyes, and saw Yue Zhong sitting beside her sleeping without changing, and her eyes flashed with gratitude, and she leaned forward to kiss him lightly on his lips.

After that kiss, Chen Yao seemed to flush red and her heart thumped, before she quickly curled up in her blanket, her emotions in turmoil. This prideful princess had actually kissed someone ogher own accord.

"Chen Yao, what's wrong with you? How could you initiate the kiss! He's a flower-hearted carrothead! You can't like him!!" Chen Yao was in a dilemma as she chided herself. She had started to fall for Yue Zhong very early on, but was adamant on not admitting it. This time Yue Zhong had helped her Evolve, and he even stood guard over her throughout the night, which touched her greatly. That slight sweet feeling had transformed into a surge of love like a torrent, which thoroughly confused this poor girl who hadn't ever even dated before.

Not long after, Yue Zhong opened his eyes, and he stood up. Yawning, he looked at Chen Yao and asked: "Chen Yao, what's your current condition now? Did you succeed?"

Hearing Yue Zhong's voice, Chen Yao swiftly checked her own status, and immediately broke out in a huge smile: "En! I succeeded! I'm a Spirit-based Evolver, and my Plant Manipulation has been enhanced!"

After becoming an Evolver, Chen Yao's strength predictably leaped overnight, to almost 4 times that of her condition prior to evolution. Especially now that her Plant Manipulation had been enhanced once, her skill prowess was strengthened by at least half.

Chen Yao was also very clear that only with overwhelming strength could she protect herself. In a place without the military and other experts protecting her, she could only rely on herself and the man in front of her.

Yue Zhong looked at the excited Chen Yao as he laughed: "Alright! Let's go, someone has invited us!!"

"En!!"

Chen Yao followed behind Yue Zhong, as they walked towards the outside of the compound.

The moment the 3 of them left the supermarket, zombies started to shuffle over and surround them.

Chen Yao looked at the moving zombies, as she eagerly spoke out: "Let me!!"

Yue Zhong nodded his head, he was not interested in dealing with these low level zombies. Right now, to level up by killing these ordinary zombies, he had to kill more than tens of thousands of them. It took up too much time and expended too much energy, Yue Zhong did not have that kind of time to waste.

Facing those encroaching zombies, Chen Yao grabbed her vine seed, and activated the lvl 4 Plant Manipulation ability. In the next instant, 10 vines as thin as arrows shot out towards the heads of the zombies, and easily pierced through a dozen of them. She then pulled back with her strength, causing those zombie corpses to be swept to the side.

After evolving, Chen Yao's stats all improved, and her Spirit also increased to twice its original number, at the same time, her Plant Manipulation ability received an enhancement, and she could do even more interesting things with her vines. One of them was that she could condense the vine to be as strong as steel for the span of a few seconds.

One S2 which was currently hiding in the midst of the zombies, suddenly sprang out and rushed towards Chen Yao at the same moment she was distracted in her triumph.

Chapter 0311 – Nabu Town!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 2: The South]

Facing facts, Chen Yao's speed could never match an S2. Suddenly, her command experience learned at the Snake-Birth Tree site took over and she had no time for panic. Instead, she pointed at the attacking S2 and the numerous vines sprouted myriad 1 inch serrated thorns and shot towards it turning into an absolutely lethal net!

The S2 was extremely agile, yet it could not evade the oncoming net, and was immediately tangled within it. It started struggling frantically, waving its sharp claws about, tearing holes into the living net.

Just as the S2 was about to extract itself, the countless vines tightened up to bind the limbs of the S2.

While the S2 was an evolved form, its strength was not exceptional, and it could not overcome the tough vine spikes.

One of the thinner and sharper vines shot towards the struggling S2, and penetrated its head, nailing it to the ground.

A huge orb of experience entered Chen Yao's body. Since that S2 was a Level 30 Evolved zombie, killing it represented a huge amount of experience for her. She instantly gained 3 levels upon absorption, reaching Level 19.

The more she killed the more excited she got, and Yue Zhong just followed behind as they eventually arrived at the slope.

Fan Tongxuan brought the survivors from yesterday as they humbled themselves and came to Yue Zhong respectfully: "Honorable lord, how do you do!! I am Fan Tongxuan! I am excited to meet you. How should we address you?"

Ruan Chunhua stood beside Fan Tongxuan acting as his translator, using blunt chinese translation to convey his message.

The rest of the 6 Vietnamese males were all attracted to the beautiful Chen Yao. She was naturally beautiful, and possessed a graceful aura. In addition to the military clothes on her, which gave her a heroic feel, it added to her charm. Furthermore, Chen Yao had never been through any difficulties, and her skin was full of splendor. She was not like most of the other survivors who had become emaciated or had their skin come to bear an unhealthy yellowish colour. 1* Therefore, Chen Yao was extremely attractive to them.

These Vietnamese then retracted their gazes with reluctance to look at Yue Zhong again. He had a Dark Tooth Blade by his waist, and his back had a Barrett Sniper and .03 rifle, which also attracted the men.

In this post-apocalyptic world, strength was everything. The fearsome might of the Barrett Sniper far surpassed the old Type 56 semi automatic rifle of Fan Tongxuan.

Yue Zhong looked towards Fan Tongxuan and said directly: "I am Yue Zhong!! This is my friend Chen Yao, this is White Bones."

Yue Zhong pulled out a can of corned beef from his bag, and asked Fan Tongxuan directly: "What is this place? Whoever can answer my question, this can of corned beef will be his!!"

The moment he took out the corned beef, all gazes were locked upon it as if hypnotized. It was a can of corned beef after all, and these people had not had meat for God knows how long.

Ruan Chunhua looked at the can of beef and her eyes flashed with greed, as she immediately replied in a supremely detailed manner. "This is Nabu Town! We are about 80Li (*2) away from Lang Son City. If you want to go back to China, you can follow the main road towards the northeast direction. If you do that, you will eventually come to Friendship Town in Chinese lands. Can you give me the can of beef now?"

Yue Zhong laughed and threw the meat over to Ruan Chunhua: "Good!! This is yours!"

The can of beef was nothing to Yue Zhong. However, to these Vietnamese survivors, they were precious commodities. The males eyed the beef in Ruan Chunhua's hands, their expressions full of envy and jealousy. They suddenly hated themselves for not learning chinese, and could only see the beef being taken by Ruan Chunhua.

After giving the can of beef to Ruan Chunhua, Yue Zhong turned around and made to leave. Other than the current location, there was nothing else that the Vietnamese could offer him which would shake his heart.

Fan Tongxuan's face fell, and his eyes flashed with hope, as he shouted: "Please wait!! Esteemed Yue Zhong! I have important intel for you!! Ruan Chunhua, quickly tell him!!!"

It was rare to be able to converse properly with a strong Enhancer like Yue Zhong that did not harbor any ill intent, and Fan Tongxuan wanted to continue dealing with him, to gain some benefits.

Ruan Chunhua rushed to Yue Zhong's side, and hastily translated Fan Tongxuan's intentions. If she caused Fan Tongxuan to become infuriated with her because of inaction, her subsequent days were sure to be tougher.

Yue Zhong stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask Fan Tongxuan: "What intel?"

As Yue Zhong was unfamiliar with the place, and had practically no knowledge whatsoever. In any foreign situation, having information could help him deal with things to come. He was of course, accordingly open to hearing good Intel as a result.

Fan Tongxuan heaved a sigh of relief, as he humbly spoke: "Esteemed Yue Zhong, it would not be easy to say it all here. May we invite you to come with us, let us treat you properly, before we speak further?"

This was after all a wrecked mockery of the old "civilized" society. Here and now, lives were cheap. Fan Tongxuan wasn't some greenhorn who didn't know this. He had interacted with Enhancers before, and knew that most of them were brave and had a little bit of luck, which allowed them to become Enhancers.

Some were extremely tyrannical and oppressive, killing without a word. Fan Tongxuan did not want to accidentally offend this Enhancer in front of him due to lack of manners.

"Fine!!" Yue Zhong pondered a while, before nodding his agreement.

Even if he were to return to China, making his way back to Long Hai City would definitely be tough. Staying a while to gain some information at Fan Tongxuan's headquarters would not affect anything anyway. Gaining more local information could also potentially help save his life in the long run.

Under Fan Tongxuan's lead, Yue Zhong and his party came to a small 4-story bungalow that was built in the middle of nowhere. Countless weeds and wild grass were growing all around it I an unrestrained manner.

In the field, even though there were a lot of wild grass patches growing, they were not edible. If humans were to eat them, they would suffer from painful diarrhea, enough to make you scream. Some of the grass was even worse and could cause deadly poisoning. Therefore, Fan Tongxuan and his group could only try to find some of the safely edible ones within those patches. It was pretty much like searching for a proverbial needle in a haystack.

Yue Zhong's party arrived and went to the dining hall of the bungalow. All the males were seated at the table, and because of Yue Zhong, Chen Yao sat with them as well.

Not long after, a few scrawny boys and girls walked out, and sat huddled around a smaller table.

The women of the bungalow started serving and distributing the food to everybody.

The main staple food for the people here was a Mutant Sweet Potato that was the size of a wooden cask. Each male had 3 thin slices of the sweet potato as well as a soup.

The women had a slice as well as a bowl of soup.

The children needed nourishment, so they had 2 slices and a bowl of soup.

These women and children were savouring their meals quietly, no one had the look of being mistreated.

Seeing this, Yue Zhong nodded to himself quietly. Perhaps the whole world hadn't gone to shit. He could see that these survivors still had their basic decency, and were living as well as they could. In this post-apocalyptic world, women and children who were weaker were usually worse off, if they met a cruel leader, they would be killed or eaten.

Chen Yao looked at the food, and lost her appetite, instead she felt like throwing up.

The soup was made of wild vegetables, roots, slices of sweet potato, white rice, ants, grasshoppers and earthworms, sprinkled with a little salt. Seeing the dead insects floating atop the soup, Chen Yao instantly felt nauseous.

In truth, these bugs and insects were valuable sources of nutrients, the women only had clear soup. Only the men had such delicacies within them.

Fan Tongxuan looked at his portion, and his eyes lit up in delight, as he instantly slurped it down, while chewing on a grasshopper and said: "Today's soup sure is flavourful!"

Yue Zhong saw this and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, before passing his soup and sliced sweet potato to a pregnant lady as he said mildly: "This is for you!"

As entertainment was almost non-existent, the only form of activity for the adults was the most ancient of mainstays: Sex!

Amongst these Vietnamese women, there were 3 pregnant already. Compared to the rest of the women, these pregnant women only had twice the amount of sweet potatoes, and their soup had more ants or grasshoppers.

"Thank you!!" The pregnant lady immediately thanked Yue Zhong profusely. While these small foods weren't much to Yue Zhong, to these ladies, it was a source of nutrients that was hard to come by. Although she could not understand what Yue Zhong said when he spoke to her, she still thanked him.

"Take these!!" Chen Yao saw a way out, and immediately passed her plate and soup to another pregnant lady. She did not want to eat or drink that soup.

After Yue Zhong gave away those provided foods, he opened his own bag, and pulled out 2 sirloin fried potatoes (*3) and 2 bottles of flavored drinks. He then proceeded to open them up and started stuffing himself.

On the other side, Chen Yao also opened up a type 2 canned beast meat to eat.

At that time, Fan Tongxuan and the rest had just finished their own meagre dinner, and they looked on at Yue Zhong and Chen Yao, swallowing their over produced saliva.

Many of their gazes travelled to the bag that Yue Zhong placed on one side. In their eyes, that bag of food and drinks was more valuable than gold at this point of time.

Yue Zhong ate a few mouthfuls, before placing the can to one side, and spoke to Fan Tongxuan: "Can you tell me the important info now? I have food here, if you give me enough information, I will let you have the food you want."

Fan Tongxuan looked at the can of meat that Yue Zhong just took a few mouthfuls of, and he swallowed his saliva before he asked: "Are you still going to eat that? Can I have it if you don't want it anymore?"

1* [Ulamog] this is a real and quite ego damaging medical condition in our current day and age folks. It's root cause is idiocy, and the attributing factor to the skin color is too much spray on tan assist…… Treatment unknown….

2* Ulamog: literally only 250ish meters short of 25 full miles. (40kilometers)

3* Ulamog: I have no clue what a sirloin fried potato is, but that's what it says. What I WANT it to be is a delicious baked potato with a juicy strip of perfectly charred and seasoned sirloin steak running though it from one end to the other. Then wrapped in God knows what, but something else (maybe bacon? or flour battered?) and then deep fat fried until the potato skin is a delightful, crispy golden brown. Too bad this is impossible in GDW. Buuuuut, maybe Mutant Sweet Potato Pie anyone? .

Chapter 312 – Ambush!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong eyed Fan Tongxuan, then gave him the canned meat.

Fan Tongxuan received the canned meat, and in front of the jealous gazes of the rest, he put it away carefully. This half-eaten canned meat was enough to last a whole day.

After keeping the canned meat, he saw Yue Zhong staring at him fixedly, and his heart went cold, before he started telling Yue Zhong all he knew: "Lord, it's like this…."

As Yue Zhong listened to Fan Tongxuan, his eyebrows started to knit. It seemed that the road ahead was not going to be optimistic.

Nabu Town was part of Lang Son City, and was considered as part of the northern Vietnam's sphere of influence. The difference with the southern Vietnam was that, many of the Vietnamese here view China with hostility. After the Sino-Vietnamese War over 30 years ago, these parts of Vietnam hated the Chinese.

After the apocalypse set in, a genius by the name of Wuyan Hong rose up in these parts, and he managed to subdue the Vietnam Army by his own and formed a huge power of over 30,000 people as the main governing faction, possessing a mighty force with firepower.

Vietnam had many forests, and there were Mutant Beasts everywhere. Wuyan Hong had tried to recapture Lang Song City countless times but failed due to the Mutant Beasts and zombies. He had then readjusted his strategy, and went towards China's borders, attacking Friendship Town and obtaining countless firepower, instantly boosting his strength.

He was not only a genius of Vietnam, he was also thoroughly vicious and intensely patriotic. The Chinese people that he caught would be treated worse than pigs and dogs because of old country grudges. As long as he discovered the existence of a chinese person, he would capture the person, either killing him or making him into a slave.

If Yue Zhong wanted to cross Friendship Town to get into China's place, he would have to pass by Wuyan Hong's borders.

Fan Tongxuan had known so much, because Ruan Minghou and Ruan Chunhua were survivors that had escaped from Wuyan Hong's stronghold. They had escaped because Ruan Minghou had offended one of the small powers within Wuyan Hong's stronghold, and he was afraid that he would not live to see another day, therefore they ran.

"This is going to be tricky!" Yue Zhong frowned, to cross a territory where all the regular people had hostility towards the Chinese, it was not an easy task by any stretch of the word.

Fan Tongxuan was observing Yue Zhong as he was pondering, and could not help but blurt out: "Lord, why don't you stay? As long as you stay, we're willing to follow you!!"

Yue Zhong heard Ruan Chunhua's translation and was taken aback: "I'm Chinese!"

Fan Tongxuan maintained his serious expression as he said: "I know! But as long as you can lead us to live better, even if you're Satan, we're willing."

Fan Tongxuan could tell that Yue Zhong wasn't some maniac who killed without reason, therefore he entertained the idea of following Yue Zhong. Many ordinary folks just wanted to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, whoever became their leader was of no concern, as long as they could give them a better life.

Yue Zhong shook his head and rejected: "No way! I'm heading back to China, I can't stay here long!"

Yue Zhong's establishments and friends were all in China, not Vietnam. Even if he put in the effort to set something up here, it would be to someone else's benefit, not his.

After hearing Yue Zhong decline, Fan Tongxuan was extremely dejected. With such a character as a leader, their group of survivors would definitely be able to live better. He could also relinquish the heavy responsibilities as a leader.

In this world, to be a morally upright leader with a conscience was incredibly tough. Finding enough food for the survivors was a problem in itself.

"This is for your information!!" Yue Zhong took out 10 assorted cans of meat, 3 bottles of milk, and a bag of rice as he gave them to Fan Tongxuan.

Fan Tongxuan looked at the pile of food and was shocked. You could even say he was elated! With this amount of food, as long as they ate sparingly, they wouldn't have to worry about food for another half a month.

Fan Tongxuan then pointed to Ruan Chunhua and Aina, asking Yue Zhong: "Lord, would you like to have some fun? They can do anything, would you like them to give you a good time? Just for a bag of salt, they can accompany you for three days."

Both Ruan Chunhua and Aina walked to Yue Zhong's front, Ruan Chunhua even hugged her ample chest tightly, her arms beneath her breasts, to give a clearer view of her voluptuous figure. She gave Yue Zhong a coy wink and proceeded to translate Fan Tongxuan's words. They weren't exactly unfamiliar with providing sexual services, and in this post-apocalyptic world, they had done it plenty of times. Furthermore, Yue Zhong wasn't like those normal handsome men, but he wasn't ugly either, and he was definitely stronger than most Vietnamese men.

Hearing Ruan Chunhua's translation, Chen Yao immediately scowled and spoke loudly: "No way!!"

All of their gazes landed on Chen Yao, and she flushed in embarrassment, before gritting her teeth and loudly proclaiming: "Yue Zhong is my boyfriend!"

*1

*3

Ruan Chunhua looked at Chen Yao and smiled: "Miss Chen Yao! We don't mind, we can even join you with him. We promise to make you feel good."

To Ruan Chunhua, exotic things like an orgy wasn't exactly something new or anything.

Chen Yao grabbed onto Yue Zhong's arms and pleaded win him, he cheeks red with embarrassment: "Yue Zhong!! Reject them quickly! As long as you reject them, I'll give you a kiss!"

Chen Yao's pleading look was extremely cute and Yue Zhong was charmed, as he took out a bag of salt and threw it to Fan Tongxuan and said: "Alright, this is for you! As for them, it's fine. My girlfriend doesn't like it."

Fan Tongxuan accepted the bag of salt, and did not press Yue Zhong further, instead, he spoke attentively: "Lord Yue Zhong, since it's so late, would you like to rest here for the night?"

Yue Zhong and Chen Yao had arrived at this town late in the evening yesterday. Chen Yao had rested an entire day, and it was almost nightfall already.

Yue Zhong thought for awhile and accepted the invitation.

With nothing out of the ordinary, Yue Zhong and Chen Yao were arranged to stay in a room together. Of course they were given the master bedroom and inside the room there was a huge fluffy bed. Chen Yao looked at the bed and couldn't help but pout: "Only one bed?"

"Why don't you sleep on the floor then, I'll sleep on the bed!" Yue Zhong chuckled, as he took off his coat, revealing the body armor made of the Type 2 Mutant Black Scaled Boar's hide, and immediately sat on the bed. Being in such foreign places, Yue Zhong was always on the alert, and would not easily take off his protection.

Chen Yao then crawled onto the bed, as she rested her cheeks on her hands, and she let out an incredibly attractive smile: "You're so ungentlemanly! You want to let a beauty like me sleep on the floor? No way, why don't you sleep on the floor! Let me help you set the blanket down there."

Yue Zhong immediately closed his eyes and laid on the bed: "I'm going to sleep!"

Chen Yao came over to lightly nudge Yue Zhong, seeing there was no effect, and smiled : "Rogue!"

After which, she laid quietly by Yue Zhong's side, and looked at his face. Only 2 to 3 hours had passed since she awoke from her Evolution coma, and she was not in the least bit tired. However, as night had fallen, there was nothing to do, she could only look at him.

Soon after, sound of moaning came from the rooms below, sounding in Chen Yao's ears, causing her to flush red, as she laid on the bed tossing and turning, not able to sleep.

Wu Tongwen was hugging a long spear as he sat at the garden of the bungalow, keeping watch silently.

There were no zombies in the vicinity, but they had to be on guard for any Mutant Beasts. If there was no sentry, even a Mutant Cat could cause the survivors to perish at its hands.

Peng! Peng!

Following some gunshot sounds, the lock on the gate was shot. With a bang, the gate was kicked wide open.

A few militants came rushing in, carrying guns.

"Who are you guys?" Wu Tongwen saw these armed men with ferocious expressions and he turned pale, his hands trembling as he was holding the spear, not daring to move. If he was not careful, he might just be executed on the spot.

The leader of this squad shouted at Wu Tongwen: "We are the vanguard team of the Great Empire of Vietnam! Go bring out your food and women."

Wu Tongwen eyes lit up as he replied excitedly: "Sir!!! I want to report!! There are 2 Chinese people who have run here, one man, one woman. The woman is extremely pretty!!"

The officer's eyes brightened up as well and said: "Pretty Chinese woman!?! Hurry bring us to her. We will go and capture her!!"

"Yes!!" Wu Tongwen replied zealously, and led the few vanguard members of the Great Empire of Vietnam into the bungalow.

The entire bungalow was soon filled with the astonished cries and moans of women.

These vanguard members weren't decent men, the moment they rushed into the bungalow, it was to start raping the Vietnamese women. This was the power and authority they exploited and enjoyed by being vanguard members.

The leader brought 7 soldiers and followed Wu Tongwen towards the room where Yue Zhong and Chen Yao were sleeping in.

The moment things started happening within the bungalow, Yue Zhong had already opened his eyes wide with wariness. He heard the noises and he immediately picked up his .03 rifle and Dark Magic Blade beside him.

The Black Tooth Blade was over 2m-long, and not suitable for combat within this cramped room. Therefore, he had prepared a Dark Magic Blade to keep by his side just in case.

At this time, there was an urgent knocking on the door. At the same time, Ruan Chunhua's anxious voice sounded out: "Lord Yue Zhong!! Lord Yue Zhong, hurry open the door!! It's me Ruan Chunhua!!"

Yue Zhong gave a command to White Bones who was standing at a corner like a gruesome decoration and said: "Open it!"

White Bones went to open the door.

*1[TN: whaaaaaaaatttttt.]

*2[Dedition: Kun basically summed up my thoughts…]

*3[Ulamog: who???? Boyfriend??? . ]

TN: I would like to say that I saw some of your previous comments on the author's obvious virginity. As I translate more, I'm inclined to think the same, it feels like he has alot of fantasies going inside his head HAHAHA. But you know, the world could just be this depraved if there ever was an apocalypse. So spread the love guys, love more hate less. Otherwise we migtht just become zombies. *braaaaaiiiiiinssss*

Dedition: On that note, I hope you won't mind my input: I feel this is a very good novel, with the only glaring problem being the authors idea that rape would run rampant at every corner. Though I wholeheartedly agree that it would be excessive, I feel as if he's obsessed with sex and rape….what do you guys think?

[Ulamog] what a Rapecist personality this author seems to have….

Reminder….

There is one more free chapter for reviews still available… I set the bar kind of high to get this one but i think its reasonable! 500 reviews! We have an average of 15,000-20,000 total readers and 12,000-14,000 that I can see hitting the site per post. BECAUSE OF THIS I believe asking for 500 total reviews out of 20,000 readers is reasonable. If I am wrong, comment here and tell me So! The 500 reviews chapter has NO DEADLINE, consider it available when the deed is done. Tomorrow, next week, next year, whenever. Thanks to all the reviewers and voters!

Chapter 313 – The Army of the Great Empire of Vietnam!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

The moment the door opened, Ruan Chunhua rushed in with an anxious look as she quickly called out: "Lord Yue Zhong!! There are men rushing up below! They are the vanguard team of the Vietnam Army! They're here to capture you!! Hurry and run!!"

Yue Zhong looked behind Ruan Chunhua as he spoke mildly: "Nah, it's too late, they're here!"

Ruan Chunhua turned around, and her expression turned to fright as she saw Wu Tongwen leading the 8 soldiers from the vanguard team. Wu Tongwen had the cold look of a hunting viper as he stared at Yue Zhong and Chen Yao.

The moment the leader of the vanguard saw Chen Yao, his eyes gleamed with an undisguised perverted glint, as he licked his lips and laughed coldly. "What a pretty Chinese girl! I want to train her to become my bitch!! Hahaha!!"

The other soldiers also had looks of desire on their face as they called out: "Captain!! Before you train her to be a subservient bitch, let us have fun with her as well!!

"Yeah Captain!! Let us all have our turn!!"

"Captain!! Let us play with her too!!"

The 7 other soldiers had started hooting and calling out. They had never come across a beauty such as Chen Yao before. Chen Yao looked at the 8 men with their undisguised lust as she frowned and asked Ruan Chunhua: "What are they talking about?"

Ruan Chunhua had hidden behind Yue Zhong, as she translated the words of the vanguard team fearfully. Hearing it, Chen Yao's expression turned pale, and her eyes flashed with fury.

Wu Tongwen pointed to Ruan Chunhua and he asked the leader: "Sir!! Can I keep her?"

The leader replied lazily: "Sure I can let you play with her a few times. However, unless you can obtain some merit, you shouldn't even think about owning her!"

"Thank you….." Wu Tongwen bowed and thanked the officer for his graciousness, but as he straightened up, a gunshot rang out and his brains were drilled through and through. The bullet blasted out the wall and away as white bone flecks and red meaty brain-flesh splattered against the wall. His lifeless corpse slowly collapsed to the floor with a look of surprise forever frozen on its face

Before the rest even reacted, Yue Zhong was holding the Stinger pistol. He coldly ordered White Bones: "Other than the leader, kill the rest!"

White Bones charged into the midst of the 8 warriors, and it raised its hands as 5 incredibly sharp spikes shot out. Each spike was expertly aimed and pierced the heads of 5 of the men. The spikes hit so hard that they ended up splitting their skulls clean open, and made their brains see through!

Yue Zhong lifted his .03 rifle, firing 2 shots with his enhanced accuracy, and the bullets landed on the heads of the remaining 2, causing their Cranial sections to explode violently.

In just an instant, 7 people had died under Yue Zhong's hands, even before the officer managed to react! He was still trying to pull out the gun at his waist to counter attack.

It was just that the moment he moved, Yue Zhong had activated his [Art of Fear] skill, using a thick fearsome Spirit Wave to assault the mind of the officer, causing him to faint.

"Incredible!! He's too amazing!!" Ruan Chunhua watched Yue Zhong and White Bones slaughter the vanguard team with ease. They even ended up knocking a person out without even touching him, and she was so excited that her entire body felt a thrill, and she even got a little wet! This man in front of her was without a doubt an extremely strong Enhancer, and she was terribly pleased to have made the right bet with him.

Ruan Chunhua was an intelligent woman. Since she and her brother were at odds with the Vietnam Army, if they were brought back, they would definitely not recieve a good ending. Therefore she chose to rely on this man who had managed to kill a horde of zombies without batting an eyelid. After once again looking at the corpses on the floor, she knew she had won her bet.

"Tie him up!" Yue Zhong glanced at Ruan Chunhua, and threw a large coil of rope from his bag to her.

"Yes Lord!!" Ruan Chunhua replied with extreme reverence. She was now filled with admiration and idolization for Yue Zhong. His show of strength was worthy of her utmost devotion now.

*1

Ruan Chunhua quickly tied up the officer tightly.

"Let's go!"

Yue Zhong left White Bones to protect Ruan Chunhua, while he swiftly made his way downstairs with Chen Yao.

At the moment, there was no one standing guard below. All the Vietnamese soldiers were on top of the local women, each one thrusting away profusely. The earlier gunshots above gave them the impression that the Chinese intruder must have been dealt with. They had enquired carefully, and confirmed that there was only a Chinese man up there. After all, they had 8 members who went up, and no one thought that it would be possible for a single Chinese Male to take down 8 fully armed men. *2

Yue Zhong immediately shuttled into the midst of the connected bodies, his hand was firmly grasping his Dark Magic Blade as it flashed about. The heaving and grunting instantly grew quieter as several of the Vietnamese soldiers were decapitated.Their bodies collapsed and their necks sprayed fresh, hot blood onto the shocked women below them.

"Ah!!" One of the women saw the tumbling head, and let out a panicked scream.

That shrill scream alerted the rest of the men who were still engaged in their rape of the other women, their gaze traveling towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong eyed those 6 soldiers and coldly ordered: "Chen Yao! Capture those 6 men alive!"

Yue Zhon's abilities were focused on offense, hence his strength was extremely oppressive. For him, killing was easier than capturing. Chen Yao's ability was, on the other hand, infinitely more suited to capture. Receiving his order, Chen Yao activated her [Plant Manipulation] Ability, and the seeds in her hands quickly grew out to become 6 long vines. She sent them snaking towards the 6 Vietnamese soldiers at a near lightning speed, tying them up efficiently.

Yue Zhong continued advancing forward,putting on some speed. He shot through the different groups all about the different stories, decapitating any soldiers he came across. In his wake, fountains of blood appeared as numerous heads fell to the floor, and the crimson rain came down, dyeing the entire place blood red. Yue Zhong was like a god of slaughter as he made his way throughout the bungalow, and pretty soon, the entire vanguard team was wiped out.

The entire bungalow was filled with fresh corpses. It gave people a sense of dread. "So strong! What a fearsome person!! Fortunately I did not offend him!!"

Fan Tongxuan had brought his 6 remaining male survivors over to help. As he saw the headless corpses lying around, and Yue Zhong wielding his Dark Magic Blade while not even looking out of breath, his heart was shaken.

The Great Empire of Vietnam also needed to fill their ranks, so they had only tied up the male survivors, not killed them. Basically, they were bandits who also did not kill indiscriminately. Likewise, even some maniacal Enhancers might not stoop so low as this.

The 6 male survivors had pale faces as well, and as they looked at Yue Zhong, their gazes were filled with newfound respect and awe.

The women who were raped had also recovered by this time. They did not have any dismal or heartbroken expressions though, instead they dragged the corpses outside and started to bury them. It was not that they were kind-hearted. instead, if they did not dispose of these corpses properly, the scent of the blood could very well attract the unwanted attention of Mutant Beasts.

Yue Zhong sat on a chair, and he looked at the 7 captives, asking coldly: "Who are you guys?" Ruan Chuhuan stood at the side and translated, conveying Yue Zhong's and the captives' intentions back and forth.

"Pei!! Fuck your mother! You Chinese dog!!" One of the captives glared at Yue Zhong with a searing gaze. Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with iciness, as he gave an order: "What a tough nut! Then, you shall taste the punishment of having a broken back! White Bones, break his waist!"

White Bones immediately swung its axe, and chopped the captive in two at the waist.

"AH!!!!!!"

The captive immediately screamed out loud in soul wrenching anguish, as his innards and blood all splattered out. He didn't die at first, instead he continued to struggle in agonizing pain, holding in his intestines, until he died miserably in front of everyone present.

Chopping a person in two was definitely one of the most cruel forms of punishment in human society, and could allow the person receiving the punishment to feel the maximum amount of pain. Seeing the agonized expression on their comrade as he died, the rest of the captives had a look of fear in their eyes. The rest of the inhabitants and Fan Tongxuan also looked at Yue Zhong with fear. In their eyes, Yue Zhong had suddenly transformed from that amiable strong Enhancer to a ruthless killing demon.

Yue Zhong eyed the rest of the trembling soldiers, and he immediately pointed to the one who was shaking the most and spoke: "Who are you guys? You! Speak!" The moment the soldier saw Yue Zhong pointing at him, his face turned ashen and he quickly blurted out: "I'll speak! I'll speak!!"

Right beside that softie, another Vietnamese soldier immediately reprimanded him fiercely: "Wutan Tong! You traitor!! You traitor!!"

Yue Zhong waved his hands, White Bones immediately shot out a bone blade, and chopped the soldier who had verbally lashed out. The attack split his head in half and spilled its contents on the floor with a *PLOP*! Seeing this terrifying scene, the weakling male broke down completely as he cried: "Lord!! Don't kill me!! I'll speak!! I'll tell you everything!!"

Following this, Wutan Tong told Yue Zhong all he knew.This vanguard team was one of the small teams deployed by the Vietnam Army towards Lang Son City to find survivors, at the same time, they were to gather intel.

When Wuyan Hong had attacked Friendship Town, he had captured many Chinese survivors along the way. He was a racist through and through, and kept them all as his personal slaves. At the same time, he was starting to lack manpower for his army, the government, as well as factories. Thus, he had sent out teams towards Lang Son City to gather survivors, and attract Vietnamese into his stronghold.

From Wutan Tong, Yue Zhong gained important information about Wuyan Hong's troops.

TN: I hope any Chinese or Vietnamese friends who are reading this to not take this too seriously. Everything's based on the writer's imagination on the feelings and degeneration of humanity after an apocalypse. Even the rest of the readers as well, to not assume that of any of our friends from other countries ????
