[Book 3: The South]

A huge number of the evolved Zombies pounced over, knocking those Vietnamese survivors who were trying to escape, onto the ground. They opened their gruesome mouths and viciously bit down on those survivors, biting huge chunks of meat off. The battlefield was filled with the agonized screams and wails of the Vietnamese survivors, as blood and innards started to splatter everywhere. The entire place was engulfed in a mirage of hell, full of blood and terror.

Originally, if Lei Kewang could mobilise and lead the team of experts to take down the 3 remaining Type 2 Hunters, then the battlefront on the east side could still withstand the zombies for quite a while. It definitely wouldn't have collapsed so easily. However, with the harassment of Yue Zhong, the entire team was wiped out, and they could not support the frontline anymore, resulting in the current carnage and hell-like scene.

The sea-like horde of shambling, rotten corpses was swallowing up the east side, survivors and all, as they followed the bridge towards the west side.

Hong! An explosion rang out, and the huge bridge was blasted into pieces. Thousands of zombies on the bridge fell into the water, and the Mutant Beasts in the water opened their jaws as they devoured the falling meal with gusto. *1

"Go!" Yue Zhong eyed the huge horde in the distance, as he jumped atop Lightning's back, and issued the order to leave. There was nothing much he could do now. Losing the positions on the east side now was a huge blow to Li Guangyi's troops, and it was going to be three or four times harder to deal with the horde now that he had lost a number of troops and equipment.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's command, Lightning swiftly brought Yue Zhong out of the place.

Within Gaoping City, a middle-aged man looked at the huge zombie horde overruning the east of the city with a steely expression. THis man was precisely the leader of the Vietnamese Revival Army, Li Guangyi.

Li Guangyi turned his attention to Lei Kewang standing beside him and asked in a low voice: "That man was Chinese?"

"Yes! He was speaking in Chinese, therefore he must be Chinese." Lei Kewang had an exhausted look as he nodded. He had expended a huge portion of his Stamina in his previous battles.

Li Guangyi's expression turned ugly, the fury in his eyes were unmasked as he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn Chinese dogs, they can't see the big picture at all. They're going to forsake 400,000 lives, and help the zombies to raid us humans, what a bunch of animals!!"

A staff officer, Lǚ Sunwang standing behind Li Guangyi had a strange look in his eyes upon hearing those words. Li Guangyi was not as brazen as Wuyan Hong who had committed open genocide, but he wasn't a decent man himself. Under the leadership of Li Guangyi, the Chinese and foreigners all led a slave-like existence, and were lower caste members who were humiliated and tormented by the any Vietnamese. Numerous Chinese and foreigners from the European and American countries had killed themselves as a result.

Lei Kewang looked at Li Guangyi and asked directly: "Leader, what do we now?"

The eastern regions of Gaoping City had been overrun, and Li Guangyi's losses were amounting to about 4 battalions, a total of 1,600 or so fighters. At the same time, the equipment, ammunition and rations there were considered lost as well.

Currently, the western regions had the support of the elite troops and the 400,000 survivors could still withstand, however, without the support of reinforcements, Gaoping City would most likely fall to the zombies.

Li Guangyi's eyes flashed, as he assured Lei Kewang: "Don't worry!! Wuyan Hong had promised to send some help!! As long as the reinforcements come, we'll be fine!"

If the troops from Li Guangyi and Wuyan Hong were to combined their strength, they would have so hope of withstanding the onslaught of the zombie horde.

Lǚ Sunwang quipped in with a reminder: "Leader!! Wuyan Hong is a vicious man. If we're weak, it's hard to guarantee that he won't swallow us up."

When he heard that, Li Guangyi instantly turned silent. In this post-apocalyptic world, stronger factions absorbed weaker ones all the time. If Li Guangyi spent all his strength to defend agaisnt this crisis, Wuyan Hong would most likely turn around and subjugate them.

Li Guangyi eyed Lǚ Sunwang and asked: "What good idea might you have?"

Lǚ Sunwang walked to Li Guangyi and in a small voice, suggested an extremely cruel idea: "Let's leave a battalion to snipe the advance of the zombies. We will bring the rest of the soldiers and brothers towards Tuyên Quang Province. Since the zombies around the area have been gathered here, there must be less zombies elsewhere. It would therefore be relatively easier for us to breakout of this encirclement. As long as we have our firearms, finding a new base to establish shouldn't be an issue."

If it wasn't for the need to protect the 400,000 survivors, Li Guangyi could absolutely bring his men to slaughter their way out. Although the gathering of the horde was huge under the control of the Z-Types, they could not compare to the craftiness and adaptability of humans.

Li Guangyi's eyes retracted, as his sharp gaze remained fixed on Lǚ Sunwang, causing the latter to panic.

After a long while, Li Guangyi retracted his gaze as he slowly said: "Those 400,000 survivors are all our countrymen and brothers. How can we just abandon them just to escape on our own? If you're to mention this again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Lǚ Sunwang's back broke out in cold sweat, as he immediately said: "Yes! Yes!!"

Li Guangyi could become a leader in the post-apocalyptic world was precisely because he wasn't a benevolent man. Lǚ Sunwang was extremely clear that he could lose his life if he were to mention such a preposition again.

After warning Lǚ Sunwang, Li Guangyi then issued out an order solemnly: "Go gather all the Chinese, and issue them weapons, get them to fight at the frontlines. Those who dare to retaliate, execute them on the spot. Let the 2 battalions from Wuyan Hong guard the forefront. Gather the survivors and prepare them to breakaway. Tell them the moment they break free from the encirclement of zombies, escape in all directions, and not to move together. 2nd and 3rd Battalions to prepare and cover the escape of the survivors!"

Li Guangyi was extremely clear on the dire circumstances, and maintaining the defence of Gaoping City could last at most one or two more days. Breaking out of the siege was their best choice. As long as he brought enough troops to cover, the large majority of the survivors would be able to succeed. However, if they went through with this, they would have to abandon a lot of resources and items. At the same time, they could not move together, otherwise the huge source of humans would attract the zombies, and wipe them out.

Lǚ Sunwang replied respectfully, and dismissed himself: "Yes!"

Li Guangyi looked to the distance and cursed under his breath: "Damn Chinese dog!!!"

If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's meddling, Li Guangyi could still withstand longer, and could even kill a larger number of zombies, and hold out until Wuyan Hong's forces come. However, because of Yue Zhong, Li Guangyi's plans were thrown into disarray, and he was filled with fury towards Yue Zhong.

Zheng Minghe was extremely familiar with the layout and surrounding of Gaoping City and Lang Son City. Under his guidance, Wei Ningguo brought the 1,000 survivors and the vehicles towards the west, where they arrived at the river that was in their way to Guangxi.

The river was about 6m wide, and it was just this 6m distance that was currently blocking the advance of this group of people.

"What do we do?" Wei Ningguo looked at the river helplessly. He was an Enhancer that reached Level 34, and had plenty of battle experience, but he lacked resourcefulness and the ability to adapt to the situation. It could be said that he had talent in combat, but as a leader, he truly was lacking!

Yue Zhong had selected Wei Ningguo as the temporary leader because he valued his performance and growing loyalty, and hence felt that he could be trusted. However, he didn't expect Wei Ningguo to be that indecisive.

As he hesitated, the 1,000 survivors halted near the river, not knowing what to do.

Upon seeing this, Ming Jiajia went up to Wei Ningguo's side and asked: "Uncle Wei! Didn't Master ordered for us to cross the river? Why aren't we moving?"

Wei Ningguo looked at Ming Jiajia and dared not underestimate her, as he laughed bitterly: "Ming Jiajia, you can see for yourself. There're no boats here, I've no idea how to cross."

Ming Jiajia frowned, as she looked at the river before suggesting: "We can construct a makeshift pontoon*2 to cross. First we can get some people to cross over, before making use of the steel cables of the vehicles to create a paved way for the rest of the people to cross."

Wei Ningguo's eyes brightened up, as he praised: "Great idea! However, this can only transport the people over. The vehicles can't be moved! Without the resources, it would be hard for us to survive."

Yue Zhong had brought along several trucks, carrying loads of fuel, food, and weapons. These 3 were the most basic resources of a faction, and if they were to be abandoned, the 1,000 people would not be able to survive past a few days.

Wei Ningguo had no ideas, and he did not mind seeking the advice of someone much younger than him like Ming JIajia.

Ming Jiajia pondered a while as she frowned, before saying: "Let's get the people across first!! As for the vehicles, I'll think about it more!"

"Ok!" Wei Ningguo immediately replied, before assigning people to begin the operation.

Zheng Minghe tied a rope to an arrow, before aiming and firing it proficiently across and hitting a tree. He then made use of the rope as he brought along the metal cable to climb across. When he reached the opposite shore, he hammered the metal cable to the ground.

After nailing 6 metal cables to the ground, he then climbed atop those metal cables, and secured pieces of planks on them, and the simple pontoon soon took shape.

Yue Zhong had prepared beforehand, in case they had to cross a water body, and had prepared ample supplied. In one of his transport truck, there were plenty of cables, ropes, wooden planks, and were fully utilized in this operation.

After the simple pontoon was constructed, the survivors started to make their way across.

When Yue Zhong rode Lightning and arrived, he saw that most of the survivors had crossed, and there were only a hundred or so left, with the vehicles still on this side of the shore.

[Book 3: The South]

"Job well done!! Wei Ningguo!!" Yue Zhong looked at the remaining 100 survivors waiting to cross the river, and his heart relaxed, as he praised Wei Ningguo.

Wei Ningguo turned red as he replied honestly: "Boss Yue! It wasn't my idea, it was Miss Ming Jiajia's. Zheng Minghe had constructed the pontoon."

Although Wei Ningguo was a coward, he was extremely honest. He did not take undue glory for himself.

Yue Zhong looked at Ming Jiajia with surprise, and approved silently in his heart.

Ming Jiajia spoke up a little dejectedly: "Master! The people are sent across. What about the vehicles? Jiajia's useless! I can't think of a method to bring the vehicles across!"

Those vehicles weighed over a few tonnes each, and the simple and crude pontoons could not possibly support the weight of those vehicles.

Yue Zhong replied confidently: "Relax! I naturally have a plan!"

Ming Jiajia looked at him half-believingly, as she stood quietly by his side, not saying anything else.

At this time, Shu Tianya came under the protection of 2 of her female soldiers, bringing with her a slightly scented breath of air.

Shu Tianya laughed brightly as she said: "Yue Zhong, are you racking your brains over the issue of getting the vehicles across? Shall I lend you a hand?"

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with curiosity as he said: "Oh! What idea might you have?"

Shu Tianya reached out with her right hand, and there was a flash of icy light, before a piece of ice accumulated in her hands. She smiled at Yue Zhong, not saying a word.

"So you possess the [Ice Manipulation] Ability! Not bad, this skill definitely can get the vehicles across. I shall bother you then!" Yue Zhong looked at the ice within Shu Tianya's hands, and understood immediately the cause of her confidence.

As long as the river surface could be frozen over, then the dozens of vehicles can get across without hassle. After all, it was in the midst of autumn now, and the temperature wasn't high, with the Level 3 [Ice Manipulation] Ability, Shu Tianya could freeze a small part of the river with no issues whatsoever.

Shu Tianya chucked lightly: "Yue Zhong, I can definitely help you! However, in return, you must give me 20 AKs, 2,000 bullets, 20 tonnes of food. Although I'm travelling with you, I'm not your subordinate, and not your vassal. We are just allies. If I help you, surely I can seek some form of compensation right?"

Shu Tianya was astute in her foresight, and could see that the Chinese Association was in dire straits. She had no way of convincing the rest of them to join Yue Zhong, and hence had only brought her trusted aides along. However, she would definitely not bow to Yue Zhong, and she wanted to carve a position for herself in this new world order through her own strength. In order to do that, she needed the necessary firepower and rations.

Yue Zhong grinned: "No problem!"

"Great!"

Shu Tianya was relieved that Yue Zhong was that easy going, and gave him a bright smile as well, before she walked over to the riverbank, and pointed to the water as she activated her skill.

Following the expenditure of her Spirit that flowed out like water, the surface of the water started to freeze, and the ice cap grew and extended towards the opposite bank. It managed to touch the bank before it began to solidify further, creating a path atop the water.

"Quickly get your vehicles to move!! I can only maintain this for half an hour!!" Once the icy path was formed, Shu Tianya called out loudly as her entire body was drenched in perspiration. Forming this icy path had expended a large amount of her Spirit and Stamina, it was the first time that she actually froze a river. She could feel that while her [Ice Manipulation] ability had been raised to the 3rd level, freezing part of a river was still exhausting.

Yue Zhong immediately ordered: "Set out!"

The vehicle fleet immediately followed the icy path as they drove towards the other bank.

Seeing the vehicles crossing one by one, Yue Zhong suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis, and he immediately shouted out: "Those vehicles numbered from 33 onwards, immediately turn back! Vehicle 32, continue forward, get to the other side as soon as you can!!"

Hearing that, the vehicles all went into action, as the huge transport truck charged towards the other bank, whereas the other turn back and swiftly retreated.

Right when both trucks had just left the icy path, the river suddenly burst in a huge wave, as a gigantic beast charged into the icy path viciously, breaking it into pieces.

When the bridge was smashed into smithereens, Shu Tianya who was maintaining the skill could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, as she fell to the floor. Her face was pale and she obviously lost some of her energy.

To those Enhancers who have to cast and maintain their skills, the moment the ability was broken, the caster would definitely suffer the backlash.

When the gargantuan beast in the water had destroyed the icy bridge, countless water beams were shot towards the skies, as a huge grey colour head emerged from the water, covered entirely in thick scales. An enormous crocodile emerged from the waters, as it emitted a terrifying pressure on everything around it. Its eyes had a ferocious glint, as it caught sight of Shu Tianya by the bank, and swam speedily towards her like a huge tank.

"Level 68 Mutant Beast: Type 2 Giant Crocodile. In the waters, it is definitely the tyrant. Its huge steel-like teeth could even crush any armored vehicles into pieces."

Shu Tianya looked at the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile swimming towards her and her eyes flashed with a hint of despair. Its speed in the waters was simply too fast, and it could be in front of her in the next second. Based on her speed, she was definitely unable to evade it. She was after all not an Agility-based Enhancer.

Just as Shu Tianya was about to be swallowed whole by the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile, a rocket was aimed and detonated on its head! The result was a huge explosion, and a n even bigger cloud of steam enveloped the head of the crocodile.

Shu Tianya turned around to look, only to discover Yue Zhong wielding a rocket launcher aiming at the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile.

"Quickly escape!! It hasn't died yet!!" Yue Zhong eyed Shu Tianya and shouted at her. After firing that fearsome rocket, the sense of crisis still had not abated yet.

Shu Tianya obeyed and without any delay, she quickly climbed up and escaped towards another side. She knew that Yue Zhong had enraged the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile, and running to his direction would spell certain death for her.

The smoke of the explosion had not cleared yet, but the Giant Crocodile was already charging out from the smokescreen, its eyes filled with killing intent. It currently had a fist-sized wound on its head, bleeding profusely. That was the damage done by that single rocket launched by Yue Zhong earlier.

Yue Zhong had just used a rocket launcher that was manufactured in Vietnam, and its power was not comparable to the PF98 that Yue Zhong usually used, however the little damage caused to the Giant Crocodile was shocking to Yue Zhong.

He quickly swapped out another rocket and aimed once more at the Giant Crocodile, before firing.

The Giant Crocodile also activated its own innate ability in the water, as a huge water arrow was slapped out and shot towards Yue Zhong.

With a bright flash, the rocket launcher detonated when it met the huge water arrow, causing a huge splash of water in all directions, yet it could not do anything to the Giant Crocodile within the waters.

With that huge wall of water, the remaining 20 trucks were all entrapped within the walls of the water flow. Under the innate control ability of the Giant Crocodile, the wall of water reached a width of more than 10m, separating Yue Zhong with the trucks from the rest of the troops.

The Giant Crocodile made use of its advantage in water to pounce towards Yue Zhong. If it was on the shore, its speed would not be able to match Yue Zhong and would most likely be eating Yue Zhong's dust. However, in the water, Yue Zhong could not even match a tenth of its speed, even when comparing before the apocalypse set in, a human would never be able to match a crocodile in the water.

Yue Zhong faced the terrifying Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile, as his eyes flashed, and he activated his [Bone Encompassing Armor, and White Bones turned into an orb of light as it transformed.

Just as Yue Zhong finished casting the ability, the attack from the Giant Crocodile came, and opened its huge mouth, as it exploded up out of the water and bit towards Yue Zhong quickly.

When the Giant Crocodile bit down, its speed was at its maximum, and even Lightning which was almost peerless in Agility could not dodge such a bite, not to mention Yue Zhong in the water.

Yue Zhong raised his right hand, as he shot out a bone spike into the ground, before sending himself into the mouth of the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile.

When the jaws of the Giant Crocodile snapped shut, most of Yue Zhong's body was within the mouth already. However, his left leg was instantly dismembered by those sharp teeth of the Giant Crocodile, and not even the Type 2 Mutant Black-Scaled Boar hide could withstand that impact.

Yue Zhong felt the intense pain shooting up from his left leg the moment it got bitten, and it caused him to shudder in pain.

The Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile then retracted its tongue, before sucking in a huge breath of air, intending to use suction to draw Yue Zhong towards its stomach.

At this critical juncture, Yue Zhong kept his cool while tolerating the pain, and with a thought, his shoulders shot out 2 incredibly sharp bone spikes that embedded themselves within the soft flesh of the Giant Crocodile, preventing himself from going further into the Mutant Beast.

The Giant Crocodile felt its throat being lodged, and it opened its jaws again, taking in a huge breath. A gigantic spray of water came rushing in and smashed onto Yue Zhong, causing the bone spears to snap, before washing him down into the noxious stomach….

Chapter 348 – Slaughtering The Type 2 Mutant Crocodile!

Translated by: Kun

[Book 3: The South]

Facing the torrential assault of the water, Yue Zhong ended up in a stomach that was filled with dissolving slime. Each time the foul-smelling ooze dripped onto his bone carapace, it would release a Tssssssss' sound, melting at and corroding his bone armor.

At the same time when Yue Zhong just entered the stomach, 3 zombies that had been bitten in two were swallowed into the stomach as well. The moment those 3 corpses landed in the stomach, they were almost instantaneously corroded into a pile of flesh and blood.

"5 minutes, I can at most hold on for 5 minutes, before being dissolved. 3 minutes and the lack of oxygen will kill me!" Yue Zhong was currently encased by his [Bone Encompassing Armor, with not a single gap. It was pitch black everywhere, and the strong sense of danger was rampant all around him, yet he could still assess the situation calmly and think of a way to escape.

With a thought, he activated his [Devil Flame, and a few fireballs were conjured out of thin air, surrounding himself. The moment the Devil Flame came in contact with the stomach wall, it caused the acid to start burning, evaporating into clouds of gas.

Yue Zhong raised his right hand and shot a bone spear into one side, before retracting and bringing himself towards it.

He then expended almost all his Spirit, to channel it into the [Devil Flame] skill, as the fireball in his hands rapidly condensed into a 2m long Devil Flame Spear. He then used all his strength to pierce it into the stomach wall, bellowing in rage: "Break!!!!"

Under the condensing of the Devil Flame Spear with almost all his energy, the moment the stomach wall was penetrated, the flesh started to burn and was almost incinerated into nothing. It caused a huge hole to appear in the wall of the stomach, at the same time, piercing through that incredibly tough scales that could withstand even the impact of a rocket launcher.

The moment the hole was created, huge amounts of blood started flowing from the wound, and the Giant Crocodile started to squirm and twist in agony.

Inside the stomach of the Giant Crocodile, there were countless huge rocks as well, and as the Mutant Beast thrashed about, the rocks in its stomach were churning about within as well, smashing and crashing around violently.*1 Those rocks smashed into Yue Zhong, and the impact caused him to shudder, spitting out a fresh mouthful of blood.

Yue Zhong forcefully endured the pains all over his body, as he stretched his hand towards the hole he made in the stomach, and a bone spear shot out piercing into the ground outside. He caused the bone spear to retract, pulling himself out of the Giant Crocodile's body.

"Congratulations on achieving Level 51, you have gained 2 points of enhancement to be allocated!"

"Congratulations on achieving Level 52, you have gained 2 points of enhancement to be allocated!" Within Yue Zhong's mind, the sweet notification sound resounded. He quickly allocated them all into Agility.

"Have I killed it?" When Yue Zhong escaped out from the Giant Crocodile's body, with a thought, he quickly released the Bone Armor from his face, revealing his handsome features, as he rapidly took in large breaths of the fresh air, as his gaze landed on the corpse of the Giant Crocodile.

[Dedition: I'm not 100% sure but wasn't he called average looking in one of the beginning chapters?]

By this time, the huge area of water around the Giant Crocodile had been dispersed, and its body flopped to the side, revealing the hole in its head that Yue Zhong had accidentally caused when he used the Devil Flame Spear to incinerate what he pierced. It was this fortunate blow that killed the Giant Crocodile.

Right beside the carcass of the Giant Crocodile, there were 2 skills books, a green treasure box and 200 Survivor Coins.

"Level 3 Skill: Water Flow Manipulation. An active skill, requires 5 Spirit and 5 Stamina to activate. Maintaining the skill requires 2 Spirit, 1 Stamina every 10 seconds."

"Level 4 Skill: Type 2 Water Flow Manipulation. Advancement of Water Flow Manipulation. Requires skill to be enhanced thrice, and 2 free skill points to learn this ability."

Opening the green chest Yue Zhong found: "Level 4 Treasure: Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade! Sharp beyond measure, possesses ability to cut through all metal. If user has Strength of above 100 points, one swing could render any weapon of Level 3 and below broken."

Yue Zhong kept the 2 skill books, before he observed the Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade in his hands carefully. The blade was double-edged and 1m long, the handle of about 30cm. The back of the blade was extremely straight, lined with serrated teeth. It was shor than the Dark Tooth Blade by quite a bit, but it was alot more suitable for close combat with its length. At the same time, the dual serrated teeth could be used to deal with tough armored creatures.

After doing all these, the sharp pains from his left leg finally registered, as he took a close look at it, realising that almost everything below the knee was gone. The bones could be seen and fresh blood was constantly flowing. The fact that he could still stand was due to the Bone Armor that White Bones had intuitively transformed into acting as support for Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong looked at his leg again, as his heart dropped: "The entire leg is broken! This wound would require at least 2 to 3 days to recover fully."

With his leg broken, Yue Zhong would have to spend the next few days in a vehicle. It would be his most vulnerable time, and in this post-apocalyptic world, if he wasn't careful, he could be easily killed.

A flash of light, the Bone Armor was deactivated and White Bones appeared from an orb of light. Its entire body was covered in scars. If it hadn't been for the fact that it had always been absorbing the bones of other Mutant Beasts, it could not have withstand the blow from the Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile.

White Bones immediately rushed over to the carcass of the Giant Crocodile, and burrowed into its body, grabbing a bone and made use of its ability to absorb the essence, replenishing what it had lost and expended.

Yue Zhong stuck the Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade into the ground, using it as a crutch, as he observed the surroundings.

The Type 2 Giant Crocodile's [Water Flow Manipulation] ability had a wide area of effect, and many people and vehicles had been enclosed within the watery cage earlier. The moment it died, those people gathered again and made their way towards Yue Zhong.

When those people saw the dead Giant Crocodile that was killed by Yue Zhong, their eyes were filled with shock. However, when they caught sight of Yue Zhong's broken leg, and was supporting himself with the scary looking blade, many of them had a strange gleam in their eyes.

Wei Ningguo rushed over and saw Yue Zhong with a leg missing, and his face changed. In this post-apocalyptic world, only a strong leader could suppress the majority and make them listen. With a broken leg, Yue Zhong was as good as a cripple, and his battle prowess would diminish. It was hard for people to accept such a leader. After all, this wasn't Long Hai City, where it was filled with Yue Zhong's supporters. Many of the survivors here had been forcefully drafted into Yue Zhong's camp, and their hearts were not set in stone yet. If Yue Zhong was truly crippled, many of them would change their tune.

Ming Jiajia looked at Yue Zhong, and her heart ached, as she swiftly came to Yue Zhong's side, and supported his left arm.

Zheng Minghe was looking at Yue Zhong's leg, and his eyes were filled with a complicated expression. If Yue Zhong was healthy and well, he was willing to follow such a strong leader to fight Wuyan Hong. However, since he had lost a leg, it made him feel conflicted.

Yi Shuixiong looked at the broken leg, his eyes brightened with joy, as he looked towards the river, and noticed that the ice bridge had already been destroyed. There was only the cable pontoon left, and the people on the other side would not be able to make it across in a short time.

Yi Shuixiong suddenly stepped forward and said: "Yue Zhong! You have lost a leg! I think that you're not suitable to be our leader anymore. Please hand over all your weapons, we can give you rations for 3 days, and let you leave alone!!"

Wei Ningguo's face turned pale, as he called out enragedly: "Yi Shuixiong!! What's the meaning of this? Our leader can only be Boss Yue! Are you trying to rebel?"

Wei Ningguo had betrayed Wuyan Hong and had been heavily relied on by Yue Zhong. He was considered Yue Zhong's number 2. He was extremely happy with his position, and was confident in Yue Zhong who had brought them consecutive victories.

Yi Shuixiong laughed coldly, pointing at Yue Zhong and said: "What rebel? Your words are too horrid! We were all Freemasons, it was this Yue Zhong who killed our leader, and forced us to listen to him. Now he's a cripple, how can he still lead us?"

He then continued with a passionate look in his eyes: "Dali, Changsui! We can get Vice-leader Zheng to be our leader!! As long as the 4 of us work together, we can definitely bring them down!"

Under the instigation of Yi Shuixiong, members of the Freemasons started to gather with Yi Shuixiong, Zhou Dali, Ning Changshui and Zheng Minghe.

As a majority of the survivors had crossed over, of the about 60 people left, 40 were from the Freemasons. The remaining 20 people were the Chinese survivors that Yue Zhong had saved.

Those 20 who had been saved by Yue Zhong stood by his side, raising their guns against Yi Shuixiong and glared at them.

Shu Tianya brought her aides as they retreated from the standoff. She had just expended a huge part of her energy and stamina earlier, and wasn't in the best condition to fight. Furthermore, her relationship with Yue Zhong was not so close that she had to fight for him.

Yi Shuixiong looked at the 40 some soldiers with him, as he laughed coldly at Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong, do you see this? This is the difference in our strength! You still have time to surrender, as long as you surrender, I can let you walk away with your life!"

TN:

No one knows that Yue Zhong is undying. Poor bastards.

*1 Ulamog: cool fact: aside from a fairly potent stomach acid, crocodiles generally swallow medium to moderately large stones from river beds and banks because the roller coaster like and sidewinder motions they make when swimming cause the stones to bounce and crush their food. Croc's swallow their food whole so digestion is harder.

These stones are smoothed over time and are called Gastroliths'

Neat huh?

Chapter 349- Quelling The Insurgency

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong did not so much as look at Yi Shuixiong, instead he sternly questioned Zheng Minghe in any icy tone whom he was staring at all this while: "Zheng Minghe! Are you planning to betray me?"

"No!!" Zheng Minghe was frightened by Yue Zhong's demeanor and couldn't help but blurt out. However, as he said that, he retreated two steps, and his face was conflicted, it was obvious that he had not sorted out his thinking yet.

Although he had retreated, he did not raise his hands against Yi Shuixiong, it could be seen that he was still struggling to decide which side of the fence he should be on. If Yue Zhong was healthy, he would naturally not falter. However, to everyone present, Yue Zhong was a cripple now, and at his weakest, if Zheng Minghe were to say he did not feel swayed, it would be a lie.

If he could take over Yue Zhong's establishment, then Zheng Minghe would have the equipment of 3 battalions, over a thousand people and plenty of logistics. It was a huge difference from his position when he was in the Freemasons.

When that single sentence from Yue Zhong had caused Zheng Minghe to quail, his gaze then fell to Zhou Dali and threatened him menacingly: "Zhou Dali! I recall that you have a 13-year-old son and an extremely pretty wife. You must consider this carefully! If you were to fail! I would throw your son into the horde, and your wife would be cast with several men. You can be made a cuckold a thousand times over! Your entire Zhou family will cease to exist!!"

Zhou Dali's expression promptly soured, as his body trembled uncontrollably, his heart full of torment. His son and wife were his bottom line. He had sacrificed god knows how much just to protect both of them. He had almost been swallowed up by the darkness of his heart a few times, but because of his wife and son, he found the strength to carry on and live. They were his strength, and his weakness as well.

Yi Shuixiong hurriedly tried to placate him: "Dali, there's no need to fear him. If the 4 of us join hands, he's almost crippled already, what can he do to us? If he had the ability, based on his character, he would have killed us all."

Hearing Yi Shuixiong's consolation, Zhou Dali's face turned slightly better, but he pondered a while before saying: "I'm not concerning myself with the matters here. I just want my wife and son to be safe."

After which, Zhou Dali brought his 7 soldiers and threw their weapons down, as they stood at a distance, obviously not taking any side.

Yue Zhong then turned to look at Ning Changshui.

Ning Changshui did not even wait for Yue Zhong to speak, and immediately opened his mouth in a self-righteous manner: "Yue Zhong, you're overbearing and vicious. You kill without discrimination, and even kill captives. You killed our leader of the Freemasons….."

"Your bullshit annoys me!! Die!" Yue Zhong's gaze turned icy, and without waiting for Ning Changshui to finish talking, he pulled out his Stinger and fired a shot at his brain.

Peng! The gun shot resounded out and Ning Changshui's brain was immediately blasted apart, as red and white matter splattered onto the ground.

After killing Ning Changshui with one shot, he immediately activated his [Art of Fear] on Yi Shuixiong, and a horrifying Spirit attack engulfed his mind, bringing all sorts of cruel and tormenting hallucinations with it, causing his face to contort with fear and his body trembled. Yue Zhong grabbed onto his body in that instant, and swiftly fired another shot at his head.

With a peng, Yi Shuixiong's brains were also blasted apart, red and white matter dyeing the ground as well.

Yue Zhong then swiftly waved his hands and switched out his Stinger for a .05 submachine gun, firing it at those whom he had just called his subordinates a while ago. With his accurate and swift firing, before those ex-Freemasons even got the time to react, many of them had been shot dead.

Yue Zhong sprayed at those Freemasons, while casting a glance at Zheng Minghe and called out: "Zheng Minghe! Act now and kill the traitors! Otherwise, it will be you and your subordinates' heads to roll! All your family members will be cast into the Scum Battalion to be fed to the zombies!"

Zheng Minghe's face promptly turned to one of fear, and finally made the difficult decision, as he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Everyone listen up, kill the traitors!"

Under Zheng Minghe's commands, the tens of soldiers swiftly took up their arms and started firing wildly at the remaining Freemasons.

With the joint attack of Yue Zhong and Zheng Minghe's troops, the subordinates of Ning Changshui and Yi Shuixiong were all turned into sieves from the hail of bullets.

2 soldiers from Yue Zhong's side also suffered some superficial injuries from the stray bullets.

After decimating the troops under Ning Changshui and Yi Shuixiong, Yue Zhong stared coldly at Zhou Dali.

Zhou Dali instantly felt his body turn clammy, he never would have expected that Yue Zhong was still able to take down and suppress the rebellion even after losing limb. Every single traitor had been killed. As for those who were still alive, the soldiers under Yue Zhong stepped forward and chopped their heads off without any hesitation.

At this time, Lightning brought a hundred or so of its little brothers as they slowly walked out from the forest, coldly staring at everyone.

By now, after seeing Lightning and the hundred Mutant Leopard Cats, no one dared harbor any ill intentions.

Zhou Dali's heart felt heavy, this time, without any hesitation, he brought his men as they came in front of Yue Zhong and knelt down. They kowtowed while Dali said: "Zhou Dali was blind and ignorant, and didn't act immediately to put down the rebellion. Regardless of how Leader would like to punish me, I'm willing to bear it. However, my family is innocent, and I plead that on account of my lack of participation in the revolt, Boss Yue would be magnanimous and spare them."

Yue Zhong gazed at him and said indifferently: "Zhou Dali, you knew Ning Changshui and Yi Shuixiong were revolting yet you did not help to stop it. It is still a considerable offence, and I sentence you to join the Scum Battalion. After killing a 1,000 zombies or a 100 enemies, you'll be considered to have served your punishment. As for your son and wife, I will pardon them, are you satisfied with this?"

Zhou Dali heaved a sigh of relief, as he kowtowed profusely: "Thank you Leader for your mercy!! Zhou Dali is truly grateful!!"

As long as his own wife and son were fine, he was extremely satisfied. He was after all a Level 36 Agility-based Enhancer, killing a thousand zombies was only a matter of time.

Yue Zhong waved his hand, and threw the Level 4 Black Tooth Blade as well as the Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade to Wei Ningguo, saying: "Wei Ningguo, bring some men and go cut up that Type 2 Giant Crocodile!"

Only those weapons could possibly butcher the carcass of that Giant Crocodile at a decent speed. Otherwise, if they had the alternative of a chainsaw, they would then be able to breeze through the task as well.

"Yes! Boss Yue!!" Wei Ningguo received the 2 weapons and quickly gathered 2 Strength-based Enhancers as well as a few other helping hands to dismember the Type 2 Giant Crocodile.

The 2 Strength-based Evolvers made use of the weapons to pry open the scales, while the rest of the people worked to slice and cut the meat and packed into the transport trucks.

Yue Zhong had brought along quite a number of transport trucks, a few of them being empty. Under the hardworking labour of those survivors, the transport trucks were slowly filled up with the meat of the Type 2 Giant Crocodile one by one. The hide was also retrieved in its entirety, and packed into one of the truck.

Wei Ningguo then came back to Yue Zhong's side and report: "Boss Yue, it's completed. However, Miss Shu Tianya had expended too much of her energy, and is unable to create the ice bridge again. Do we wait till tomorrow to cross?"

Yue Zhong replied in a low voice: "No need! Let's prepare to cross immediately!"

Every additional minute spent here spelt an additional minute of danger. The moment Wuyan Hong's forces came chasing, with Yue Zhong's current condition, it was very likely they would be annihilated entirely.

"Yes!" Wei Ningguo did not ask Yue Zhong how they were going to cross, the moment he received the order, he started to delegate the duties and prepared the rest to cross.

"Form a bridge!!" Yue Zhong saw that Wei Ningguo had left, before he ordered White Bones.

The eyes of White Bones flashed with its demonic fire after receiving the order, and it went to the bank, before reaching out both its hands to the other side, and secured all 4 limbs into the ground.

When it had laid over the river, its body started to change, and numerous bone spikes extended to form a huge Bone net, creating a platform to cross. Although this platform wasn't as comfortable as the ice bridge that Shu Tianya created, it was enough for those huge transport trucks to cross.

The moment the bone net was formed, the transport trucks drove and crossed the river, Yue Zhong directly hopping into one.

Lightning also brought its little brothers as they followed along.

After they crossed the river, Zheng Minghe acted as the vanguard as he led some of his followers forwards, scouting the road ahead.

Vietnam was filled with forests and hills, if there were no main roads, the transport trucks would find it hard to traverse the terrain.

Wei Ningguo also led the 2 Strength-based Enhancers who wielded the weapons that Yue Zhong passed them to cleave the way through, cutting down any logs, wild grass, trees that blocked the way.

The Black Tooth Blade and the Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade were Level 4 treasures, and exhibited their might in the hands of those Strength-based Enhancers. With their constant hacking and slashing, they created a road that those vehicles could drive through.

This forest wasn't without humans though, and the Mutant Beasts were manageable, after killing about 20 Mutant Monkeys, Yue Zhong's troops came across a small village after walking for about an hour and passing through the forest.

There were a few dozens zombies within the village, and Ming Jiajia summoned her Shadow Wolf to deal with those zombies, before everyone shuffled in to occupy the village.

By this time, it was close to evening, and the survivors were feeling exhausted. Yue Zhong ordered for the troops to rest, and to start a fire for cooking.

Within that small village, the fire burnt brightly, and meat was cooked. Other than the captives of the Scum Battalion, all the survivors could get to enjoy the Type 2 Giant Crocodile Meat, replenishing their sorely lacking energy.

Chapter 350 – Homecoming!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong was currently resting in bed, and Ming Jiajia was kneeling by his side, carefully carving out the Mutant Beast meat, placing it on a plate for him to eat.

Ming Jiajia looked at the bandaged leg, her eyes darkened slightly: "I'm sorry Master! Jiajia is useless! Jiajia didn't manage to protect Master."

When they were facing that terrifying Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile, the Shadow Wolves that Ming Jiajia summoned could not do a single thing against it. Her battle ability was dependent on those summoned Shadow Wolves, and they couldn't even do anything, much less herself.

"There's no need to blame yourself, you've already done your best!" Yue Zhong ruffled her hair, and consoled her. When Yi Shuixiong had tried to revolt earlier, Ming Jiajia, Wei Ningguo and the 20-other survivors had not hesitated to stand by his side, providing that he had not yet failed as a human being.

When Ming Jiajia felt Yue Zhong stroking her head, she was like a little kitten that was petted by her owner. Her eyes wrinkled, as she broke into an extremely comfortable expression, looking extremely cute.

When Yue Zhong looked at the cute Ming Jiajia behaving like a kitten, the heavy feelings in his heart were swept away.

Wei Ningguo pushed the door open and entered. Discovering Yue Zhong comforting Ming Jiajia, he spoke out: "Boss Yue! Did you want me for something?"

Hearing Wei Ningguo's words, the little Ming Jiajia jumped up like a startled rabbit and bolted away from Yue Zhong's side, her entire face flushed red, as she sat at a corner and lowered her head.

"Could Boss Yue be a lolicon?" Wei Ningguo saw that Ming Jiajia's reaction was so dramatic, and his gaze on Yue Zhong turned stranger, as he thought to himself silently.

After the apocalypse, society norms and order had collapsed, there were all sorts of characters who displayed their personalities under the absence of moral codes and laws. Wei Ningguo had come across several people with authority that had lolicon tendencies.

Another man came in, his age about 32, height of 1.6m, a clean shaven head and a muscled body. As he bowed, he saluted Yue Zhong and said: "Leader! Were you looking for me?"

This clean-shaven man was one of the survivors that Yue Zhong rescued from the hands of Li Guangyi. His name was Wu Yin. He was also appointed as a squad leader by Yue Zhong. He had trained harder and more diligently than others, and earlier, he had led the other soldiers to suppress the soldiers of the Freemasons.

Yue Zhong waved his hand, and 2 bottles of Snake Birth Fruit juice appeared. He passed them to Ming Jiajia as he spoke to the men: "Your performance today had satisfied me! This is a medicine that can allow a person to become an Evolver! Drink this, and after a day, you guys will become Evolvers!"

Evolvers!! When Wei Ningguo heard this, his face instantly changed, and a storm raged on within his mind. Evolvers were the apex existences amongst humans. When he was under Wuyan Hong, he had only come across 6 Evolvers. It could be seen how rare they were. Every single Evolver was a frightening existence, and they possessed battle capabilities far surpassing Enhancers. When all else is equal, if an Evolver were to face off against an Enhancer, the Evolver definitely had the advantage.

Wei Ningguo immediately swore fealty to Yue Zhong as he exclaimed loudly: "I'm willing to serve Boss Yue till the day I die!!"

"Wu Yin definitely won't fail to live up to boss' expectations!!" Wu Yin also couldn't suppress his own excitement as he loudly pledged, his heart overwhelmed with ecstasy. He had already heard about the prowess of Evolvers to some extent: as soon as one became an Evolver, although one wouldn't be unrivalled under the heavens, one would still possess huge power and superiority that normal people would find it hard to strive for.

Yue Zhong waved a hand, and Ming Jiajia subsequently handed the two bottles of Snake Birth Fruit juice to Wu Yin and Wei Ningguo.

Wu Yin and Wei Ningguo both rapidly opened the glass bottles and drank all the juice in one mouthful. They had followed Yue Zhong for some time now and knew that he wouldn't harm them.

After the two had gulped down all the Snake Birth Fruit juice, it wasn't long before the juice's medicinal strength began to take effect. The two peoples' bodies began to feel feverish, and they instantly fainted onto the floor.

White Bones, who had been standing by, then came over and promptly snatched up the two, before throwing them onto a bed at the side to let them evolve by themselves.

Ming Jiajia watched the two people who were currently unconscious and glanced towards Yue Zhong, asking curiously,

"Master! Why don't you bestow a bottle of evolution elixir upon Zheng Minghe? He is much more capable than Wei Ningguo!"

Zheng Minghe's ability was not ordinary. His leadership, charisma and decisiveness were all far above that of Wei Ningguo. Apart from having great strength, Wei Ningguo couldn't compare with Zheng Minghe if he assumed leadership.

Ming Jiajia saw that Yue Zhong had let Wei Ningguo undergo evolution rather than Zheng Minghe, and she couldn't help but feel slightly baffled.

Yue Zhong remained silent for a while before saying lightly, "Zheng Minghe still needs to be observed for a period of time!"

Zheng Minghe's capability couldn't be doubted, but Yue Zhong didn't know if his dedication was heartfelt or not. If Yue Zhong let him evolve, it would truly be dangerous if Zheng Minghe then conversely backstabbed him. After all, Zheng Minghe had been a member of the Freemasons: Yue Zhong's methods of subduing the Freemasons had been slightly too extreme, which was demonstrated by the armed rebellion of the ex-Freemasons fighters.

Ming Jiajia nodded in a half-understanding way.

After resting for one night, the huge vehicle fleet immediately set off early the next morning after breakfast, driving towards the border with Guangxi. Their army could only have the opportunity to expand within the borders of China.

In the Vietnam region, Yue Zhong found that it was truly too difficult to recruit reliable helpers. At the same time, most of the Vietnamese frontier's weapons arsenals had already been opened by Li Guangyi and Wuyan Hong. He couldn't obtain any weapons or equipment, making it very hard for him to be able to defeat Wuyan Hong's troops.

After leaving the small village, they marched for a few more hours. Ming Jiajia's Shadow Wolves finished off a dozen Mutant Beasts before Yue Zhong and the rest finally found a highway, beginning to move towards the northeast.

On a small hillside covered with weeds, four men holding large axes lay prone in the underbrush. One of them, a man who seemed slightly small in stature and figure, was holding a crossbow as he stared rigidly at an area of open land in the distance, where there was some maize placed.

There were quite a lot of bird species in this region; through the hunting method of simply waiting idly, these survivors had already hunted down quite a few sparrow type birds. However, if their luck wasn't so good and the maize attracted some larger Mutant Birds or an entire flock of normal Mutant Birds, then they could only return empty handed.

"Don't move! Put down your weapons! Surrender immediately, or I'll directly shoot you!" A towering voice suddenly sounded out from behind the hunters, and six warriors suddenly appeared.

The six warriors instantly pounced forward and subdued the four who were holding axes.

The leader, whose figure was tall and sturdy, shouted out loudly in the Zhuang dialect, "Who are you people?"

Wu Yin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he spoke with some uncertainty in Chinese, "You people are Chinese?"

Wu Yin had spent most of his time living in Vietnam, so whilst he could understand Mandarin, he couldn't quite understand a dialect like the Zhuang type.

The robust man called out loudly in slightly broken Mandarin, " I am Chinese!!"

"Then good! Come with me to go see the boss! Our boss has something to ask you!"

Wu Yin waved and the warriors quickly escorted the four men to Yue Zhong's location.

"Who are you people? Where is this place?" Sitting on a wheelchair, Yue Zhong watched the four sturdy men being escorted over and asked lightly.

The four men looked left and right, and a hint of alarm flashed past their eyes as they saw the warriors holding AKs surrounding Yue Zhong. Three of the captured men's gazes instantly fell onto the sturdiest-looking man's body.

That man was watched by his companions for quite a while. Only then did he summon his courage and say to Yue Zhong,

"I am Wang Hualiang, a person from Dong Ping Village. Those three are Yao Hong, Shen Ming and Luo Qiang! This is Jing Xi County's Dong Ping Village."

"JIng Xi County!! We've finally returned!!" Upon hearing those three words, Yue Zhong let out a slight sigh of relief inside his heart. They had finally returned to their home country.

Only upon returning to China did Yue Zhong and his party feel a little more safe. Vietnam was Wuyan Hong's territory, meaning that he had an enormous advantage there as someone Vietnamese. Within China, however, that sort of home advantage belonged to Yue Zhong's side; at least he would now be able to recruit many Chinese subordinates, and wouldn't be at a loss to enlist troops anymore.

Yue Zhong directly tossed a slice of cake to Wang Hualiang and asked, "Are there any large-scale gathering places in Jing Xi County?"

In this apocalyptic world, a slice of cake was even more precious than gold. Upon receiving the cake, a hint of excitement shone past Wang Hualiang's eyes. He hesitated for a while before saying, "In Long Teng Town there's a person called Chen Liang who's organised a large-scale gathering place. However, I advise you not to go there, for that Chen Liang isn't some good person. Luo Qiang is precisely someone who escaped from there, so he knows quite a lot!"

Yue Zhong directly tossed a slice of cake to Luo Qiang and said, "Tell me everything you know!"

Luo Qiang saw the cake in his hands and couldn't help but lick his lips, before nodding his head and spilling the beans, telling all the information he knew about Long Teng Town to Yue Zhong.

Long Teng Town's Chen Liang was a brutish hoodlum before the apocalypse. Afterwards, by some great fortune, he managed to awaken and became an Evolver.

It wasn't long before the town was recaptured by the nearby governmental forces, and Chen Liang managed to make his way into the base. Relying on his abilities, he quickly became the sole tyrant of Long Teng Town. Two months ago, Chen Liang schemed and killed off most of the official military officers, killing all those who opposed him and thus forcefully seizing control over the entire Long Teng Town.

After seizing control, Chen Liang spent his days in a drunken stupor, viewing all the survivors under him as animals and regularly killing people. In Long Teng Town, apart from Chen Liang and his confidants, everyone else lived like walking corpses. Luo Qiang didn't want to live like this, and so he fled out of the place.

"Long Teng Town!" Yue Zhong muttered to himself for a while, before asking Luo Qiang, "In Long Teng Town, how many warriors and guns are there? What is Chen Liang's ability? How many experts does he have under him?"

Luo Qiang hesitated for a while before smiling bitterly, shaking his head as he said,

"I do not know any of this!"

Chapter 351 – Long Teng Town

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong remained silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Since it's like this, then never mind! Wang Hualiang, take us to Dong Ping Village."

Currently, the top priority was to find a place to rest for this exhausted army of survivors that had continuously marched for two days.

Wang Hualiang carefully reminded him, "Sir!! There are a lot of zombies in Dong Ping Village, as well as many evolved zombies as well."

Yue Zhong replied lightly, "You don't need to worry about this. We'll deal with it!"

Wang Hualiang glanced at Yue Zhong's subordinates, who were all holding AKs, and he didn't say anything else. He led Yue Zhong's army in the direction of the village.

"This is Dong Ping Village right here!!" Wang Hualiang pointed to a small village in the distance as he spoke to Yue Zhong.

"Jiajia! You and Wu Yin go deal with the zombies in the village!" Yue Zhong glanced at the village and ordered the two behind him – Wu Yin and Ming Jiajia, who was pushing his wheelchair.

"Yes! Master!" Ming Jiajia obediently complied. Her small hand extended and a streak of light flickered past. Two Shadow Wolves soon appeared before her and they rushed towards the village.

After summoning the two Shadow Wolves, Ming Jiajia stood obediently behind Yue Zhong, with both her hands clutching onto his wheelchair. These two days, the little Ming Jiajia had been responsible for pushing Yue Zhong's wheelchair.

On the other side, Wu Yin held a Dark Magic Blade and took the lead to rush towards the village like a thunderbolt.

Yue Zhong saw that Wu Yin had already made a move. He immediately told Ming Jiajia, "Let's go!"

Standing at the side, Wang Hualiang's expression suddenly turned very shocked as he said,

"Sir!! There are over 300 zombies in there, are you really just going to send that one guy in?"

"Don't worry!! Let's go!" Yue Zhong did not explain further, and just ordered mildly.

Ming Jiajia pushed Yue Zhong's wheelchair as they made for the village.

The huge vehicle fleet also continued its advance towards the village.

Wang Hualiang and his group helplessly followed.

The moment they entered the village, Wang Hualiang and the rest discovered that there were countless zombie corpses that were either beheaded or had their throats ripped out by some beast.

The soldiers under Yue Zhong then gathered all the dead bodies together, as they set fire to the pile of corpses, burning them to ashes. If they allowed the dead bodies to remain in the village, even if there was no infection, it was definitely still a health hazard.

"Is this the strength of this fleet? Too fearsome!! They're really strong!" Wang Hualiang looked at the pile of corpses and his heart trembled. Just by sending one person, Yue Zhong had totally brought the village under his control, it was the first time that Wang Hualiang had seen such strong people.

Zheng Minghe looked at the bodies strewn all over town, his eyes flashed with a complicated gaze. His heart was full of regret as he thought to himself: "Evolver!! This is the power of an Evolver! It really is too amazing!! Damn it! If only I hadn't hesitated that day, I would have become an Evolver as well!!"

When Wu Yin evolved, he became an Agility-based Evolver. After evolution, he even gained comprehension into the Level 3 Skill [Agility Solidification]. After he became an Evolver, he also gained a Dark Magic Blade, and once he donned on some common System equipment, it became easy for him to slaughter normal Mutant Beasts and zombies.

In just a short span of 2 days, Wu Yin had already reached Level 17 from killing a huge number of Mutant Beasts and zombies. His combat skills were growing exponentially under the constant fights. Zheng Minghe knew that while he could still contend with Wu Yin now, the moment he became a Level 30 fighter, it wouldn't be the same anymore.

Furthermore, Yue Zhong was obviously more biased towards Wu Yin, Ming Jiajia and Wei Ningguo. The equipment he obtained from killing the Wolf Fang Battalion and troops under Li Guangyi were all passed to the 3 of them to be used. This added to their already growing power, while Zheng Minghe was still using the equipment from when he was still under the Freemasons.

Zheng Minghe knew clearly why there was such a difference in treatment. At that time when Yi Shuixiong had revolted, he had hesitated. It was because of this, that led to the loss of Yue Zhong's trust, and hence he didn't get to become an Evolver. At the same time, he lost out in terms of resources.

Now Wu Yin, Ming Jiajia and Wei Ningguo held 200 people's worth of equipments in their hands, and yet Zheng Minghe had 20 subordinates, but they each only had a single clip of ammunition.

When Yue Zhong entered the village, he quickly assigned some of the people to comb the entire place for usable resources. Then the goal was to gather them into the transport trucks, ready to be moved on a whim.

Soon after, a fragrant aroma wafted forth from the middle of the village. Other than the Scum Battalion and Woman Scum Battalion, the rest of the survivors, be it Chinese or otherwise, all got to enjoy the tasty Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile meat. With that delicacy, their vitality and energy got replenished.

With just 3 days of eating this Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, the 1,000 or more survivors regained almost 80% of their health back! Many of the women were beginning to regain luster in their skin, while their sunken faces were starting to fill up. The men felt their energy and vigor returning to them. As for the children who had been malnourished and suffered as result, they were beginning to pack more meat on their bony frames.

Due to the existence of the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, there were no deaths on this gruelling march for those survivors. If there wasn't the Type 2 Meat available, with the constitution of the survivors, a number might not have made it with the nonstop marching of 2 days.

"Can we eat as well?" Wang Hualiang looked at the bowl of rice and Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile meat in front of him, and he couldn't help but gulp his saliva.

Luo Qiang and the other 2 were also staring fixedly at their plates, their stomachs rumbling loudly. If it weren't for the fear of Yue Zhong and his armed soldiers, they would have gobbled up everything clean. It was hard to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, and the 4 of them had always lived each day as it came, never having eaten their fill in a long while.

Yue Zhong chuckled: "Help yourself! This is thanks for the intel today!"

In the short term, Yue Zhong was not lacking in food. However, in the long run, unless they could raid a national reserve, any faction would still be lacking in food.

Wang Hualiang quickly picked up the plate of rice and meat, as he started to stuff himself; it was a long while since he had eaten rice or meat.

Yue Zong picked up the slices of meat that Ming Jiajia had prepared for him, as he dipped it in coconut milk and ate it leisurely.

After Wang Hualiang and the rest had eaten their fill, they looked at each other and seemed to have come to a decision.

Wang Hualiang summoned his courage as he asked: "Sir, how should we address you?"

Yue Zhong replied: "I'm Yue Zhong!"

Wang Hualiang looked expectantly at Yue Zhong as he continued: "Sir, is it possible for us to join your team?"

It was at least ten times tougher to survive in the wild now compared to times before the apocalypse. The main reason was that there were countless strong Mutant Beasts in the wild, be it in the air, on the land, or even in the waters. There would be signs of them all over. Unless one was a high level Enhancer or Evolver, there would only be certain death if a human was to face any of these Mutant Beasts.

Even Yue Zhong himself could not guarantee that he would be able to survive if he was faced with the assault from a powerful Mutant Beast, much less any other normal person.

And it was because of this, that the 4 of them sought salvation and safety within Yue Zhong's fleet.

Yue Zhong called Zheng Minghe over: "Sure! However, joining me means that you'll have to adhere to my rules! Zheng Minghe, explain the rules to them!"

Yue Zhong would not force such stragglers to join his fleet, instead he let them choose. After all, a melon forcefully picked before ripening would not be sweet, this would ensure that the potential of people who harbored ill intents against him would be kept low.

When Zheng Minghe came over, he delved into the rules and regulations almost immediately.

After a short round of discussion, Wang Hualiang and the rest all agreed to join. It was, after all, a place with some form of order.

Yue Zhong then called Luo Qiang over: "Luo Qiang! Do you know the way to Long Teng Town from here?"

Luo Qiang replied: "Leader! I know!"

"Very good! Wei Ningguo! Stand guard here! Wu Yin, Ming Jiajia, Zheng Minghe and Luo Qiang, the 4 of you will follow me to pay a visit to Long Teng Town!" Yue Zhong then threw away the blanket covering his legs, and stood up.

Zheng Minghe saw Yue Zhong standing and almost fell back in shock: "He can stand!! His leg had regenerated!! How is this possible?"

"Master! You can stand!! You've recovered! That's great!" Ming Jiajia saw Yue Zhong standing up, and her face was filled with joy.

"Leader truly possesses otherworldly abilities, you can even regrow a leg that's been broken! Truly amazing!" Wu Yin's eyes flashed with admiration and veneration when he saw Yue Zhong stand.

Wei Ningguo had a similar look of joy and reverence: "Too powerful! He truly is Boss Yue!!"

"Yue Zhong, your leg's fine! Congratulations!!" At this time, Shu Tianya came over, with a hint of soft scent in the air that she brought along. Her eyes flashed with a strange glint, when she saw Yue Zhong stand up, as she quickly laughed and said: "Can I join you on the trip to Long Teng Town?"

"Ok!" Yue Zhong looked at Shu Tianya as he pondered a short while before replying.

Long Teng Town was a small town that belonged to the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. At this moment, atop a hill near to the town, there were 7 people standing quietly, they were precisely Yue Zhong's team.

"That must be Long Teng Town?" Yue Zhong pulled out a set of military grade binoculars as he looked towards the distance with them.

At the entrance of the town, there were 4 soldiers who stood about idly for half a day, before they put their guns down and began a game of cards.

Near the entrance, there were 4 gun turrets, but within those turrets, there wasn't a single gunman, this kind of defence was truly shoddy!

Chapter 352 – Entering the Town!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"It really is quite a mob!!" Yue Zhong glanced at the situation within the town and thought to himself.

This small town's defence was the most negligent that Yue Zhong had ever seen. It seemed to not have been fortified at all: if there weren't any hidden traps, then just one battalion of warriors would easily be able to take down this town.

"Let's go!!"

Yue Zhong brought Ming Jiajia and the others with him as they all put on a simple disguise, beginning to walk towards the small town shortly afterwards. This was China, not Vietnam, so Yue Zhong could pretend to be an ordinary survivor and thus sneak into the town. Had this been Vietnam, then Yue Zhong, who didn't know Vietnamese, would find it very difficult to sneak into any sort of strategic military location.

"Stand still right there! Who are you people??"

Right when Yue Zhong and his party had arrived at the town, one of the four soldiers who had been playing cards stood up, blocking Yue Zhong's way as he shouted out loudly.

Luo Qiang lowered his figure and explained to the soldier in front of them, "We are survivors from Dong Ping Village. We've heard that there's a survivor base set up by the government here, so we've come here to seek shelter."

That soldier carefully took a look at Yue Zhong and his party. As soon as he saw their backpacks, his eyes immediately lit up. He pointed at the backpacks and said,

"Take those bags over here. If you want to enter the base, all of you must first be inspected! No prohibited items can be taken into the base!"

Luo Qiang glanced at Yue Zhong, and upon seeing that he wasn't opposed to it, Luo Qiang and the others immediately took off their backpacks one by one. They placed the bags onto a table at the side before opening them.

"Cakes!! Milk!! There's even cigarettes!! Good stuff!! This time I your father have really hit the jackpot!!"

Upon seeing the contents of the bags, that soldier immediately revealed an avaricious expression and he began to frantically scoop up all the items.

Another one of the soldiers also came over: upon seeing the things inside the bags, his eyes also revealed an incomparably greedy look. He immediately stretched out his hands and tried to snatch away some of the items.

"Let me have a look!! Fuck! Xue Gang! Don't you hog all of this good stuff to yourself!!"

The only benefit of being sentries at the town gate was that they could try to plunder the survivors who entered the small town. They naturally wouldn't let go of this sort of opportunity. The other two soldiers also surrounded the table, all of them stretching out their hands to snatch away the items and stuff them into their bosoms.

Upon seeing this scene, Yue Zhong's eyebrows furrowed slightly. These soldiers' behaviour was truly like that of a troupe of bandits.

Luo Qiang put on a timid expression and implored,

"Brothers!! Leave a bit for me, alright!! I'm begging you!! I still need those items to survive!!"

Xue Gang glanced at Luo Qiang and his expression darkened. He cursed angrily,

"Negligence! If you don't give me face then I don't want it! This daddy here is taking your things because he thinks highly of you! If you keep blabbering, be careful of this daddy shooting you! All of you, enter the town and get lost!"

Only then did Luo Qiang let out a sigh of relief, scowling miserably as he brought Yue Zhong and the others into the town.

"Slow down!!" Just at this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted at them to stop.

Upon hearing that soldier's shout, everyone in Yue Zhong's party felt their muscles beginning to tighten as they prepared to make a move and kill off those four soldiers at any time.

As soon as the made a move, then they would have to exterminate all the enemies who opposed them in a manner as fast and as powerful as thunder. If they acted rashly under a situation in which they didn't know the exact situation of Long Teng Village, then just one careless mistake would mean that Yue Zhong and the others might be captured in this place.

Luo Qiang bent over his waist as he asked that soldier softly in a timid voice,

"What is it? Big bro!!"

That soldier's eyes flashed with a silvery light as he began to size up Shu Tianya, who was standing behind Yue Zhong.

Even though Shu Tianya had already smeared quite a lot of dirt onto her face, her ample, sexy figure still couldn't be concealed by her clothing. At the same time, every movement of hers possessed a confident temperament and charm; she hadn't made an effort to conceal those yet.

As soon as the soldier saw Shu Tianya, he was firmly entranced by her temperament and figure. His eyes didn't leave Shu Tianya's ample bosom for even one moment.

He then pointed towards a small room at the side and smiled deviously at Shu Tianya, saying,

"Come with me to go take a trip over there!!"

"Tian Duming! How is it that you can even put an ugly person like this into your eyes? It's very likely that this woman hasn't bathed for several weeks!"

"Tian Duming, you're truly hopeless!! Although this ugly woman's figure is actually decent."

The other three soldiers sat at the side, eating the food that they had plundered from Yue Zhong's team whilst laughing loudly at their companion.

Upon hearing those four soldiers' unrestrained laughter, Shu Tianya was so angry that her expression turned ashen. She almost felt like making a move herself, directly freezing those soldiers into chunks of ice. Even though she had always gone along with the current ever since the apocalypse, it was still the first time that she had been insulted by others like this.

Tian Duming saw that Shu Tianya stood there quietly, not moving, and his expression darkened. He berated her loudly,

"Fuck! You're still not moving! Don't you act like this, I've given you face yet you don't want it!!"

A series of thoughts went by in Shu Tianya's mind like lightning. She turned around her head to look at Yue Zhong, who seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative to save her. She subsequently steeled herself and quickly grabbed onto Yue Zhong's left arm, putting on the act of a pure and shy married woman as she said timidly,

"This is my husband!"

Yue Zhong's expression went blank for a moment. He didn't expect that Shu Tianya would actually push him out to use him as a shield.

"You're her man?" Tian Duming glanced askance at Yue Zhong and threatened disdainfully,

"Make your woman accompany me for one night! Otherwise, I your father will shoot you dead right here!"

Ever since the apocalypse, human lives were as lowly as those of ants. Tian Duming and the other soldiers were all criminals who had taken several human lives before, and they simply didn't see ordinary survivors as actual humans. Within Long Teng Town, apart from the people behind the scenes whom they didn't dare to provoke, they didn't put any of the normal survivors in their eyes.

Yue Zhong turned his head around to take a few glances left and right, discovering that there were barely any survivors in the vicinity of the town gate, almost making the place seem like a ghost town. Within a radius of 100m, there was only a sandbag and a front formed from wire-netting, in which a Heavy Machine Gun was positioned. It was just that the two machine-gunners were both in a deep sleep; apart from them, there wasn't anyone else paying attention to this side.

"Fuck! You dare to ignore this daddy here! I your father will shoot you dead!" Upon seeing Yue Zhong's mannerisms, Tian Duming felt furious. He immediately raised his gun and aimed at Yue Zhong. Up until now, Tian Duming had become accustomed to acting rampantly; there were barely any survivors who dared to anger him, and so Yue Zhong's behavior made him feel as if his dignity was being provoked to the extreme! *1

As soon as Yue Zhong turned around, a cold radiance flashed past in his eyes. His right hand suddenly stretched out into a claw, clutching Tian Duming's throat. He exerted some force and his huge strength erupted, instantly crushing Tian Duming's throat.

A hint of terror flashed past Tian Duming's eyes, for he had never imagined that he would actually be killed in this way.

Yue Zhong ordered coldly, "Take action! Don't let them say anything! I want them captured alive!"

Wu Yin instantly burst forwards, rushing towards a soldier like a cheetah. He chopped with his hand at the soldier's back, making the soldier instantly faint in one move.

Zheng Minghe was also a strong fighter with plentiful experience. Even before Yue Zhong had given out the order, he had already made battle preparations and chosen the most advantageous spot to fight from. As soon as he received the order, he pounced at the enemy, sending out two slashes with his hands in succession and knocking the other two soldiers unconscious as well.

Yue Zhong watched the two machine-gunners sleeping 100m away and both of his eyes concentrated on them. He activated his Art of Fear two times in succession. Two streaks of incomparably formidable spirit attacks broke into the two soldiers' minds, presenting countless terrifying scenes inside. The two soldiers were directly frightened to death.

In the process of dealing with these six soldiers, there wasn't any noise made at all.

Yue Zhong left Zheng Minghe and White Bones behind to take care of things outside, before dragging Xue Gang and the other two into the small room at the side.

Wu Yin directly took a bucket of water and poured it onto the three soldiers' bodies, thus waking them up.

"Be a bit more well-behaved! Otherwise, I'll directly kill you all!" Xue Gang and the other two had just awoken when they heard Yue Zhong's icy voice. At the same time, they felt the muzzle of a gun pressed against the back of their heads. They instantly became much more well-behaved and didn't start shouting and screaming, which might alert the other people inside the town. After all, warning the others wasn't as important as preserving their own lives.

Yue Zhong watched the three as he said coldly,

"I wish to know everything about Long Teng Town. If you people explain everything sensibly, then I can let all of you live. If none of you will speak, then you can all go die!"

Xue Gang instantly brightened up, kneeling before Yue Zhong and repeatedly kowtowing as he said,

"This humble person will definitely reveal all that he knows!! Sir, please ask whatever you wish! As long as I know the answer, then I am willing to tell sir everything about it!"

"I am willing to tell you anything!!"

"As long as I know the answer! I definitely won't conceal anything from you!

The three soldiers constantly kowtowed and pleaded to Yue Zhong without any courageous spirit whatsoever. They easily yielded, only wishing to continue living.

Only then did Yue Zhong begin to inquire about Long Teng Town's real situation. The three soldiers also tried to outdo each other as they revealed everything they knew to Yue Zhong.

This Long Teng Town had about two thousand and several hundred survivors. Amongst them, four hundred were Chen Liang's subordinates, although most of them were nothing more than mob members like Xue Gang. The number of Chen Liang's confidants who could actually fight only numbered in the forties, who were all equipped with high-level Mutant Beast leather armor, making them almost invulnerable. At the same time, they were all Enhancers above Level 10. Only by relying on these 40 aides and his own formidable fighting strength did Chen Liang become the controller of this small town.

Amongst the forty plus confidants, there were four high-level Enhancers who were all above Level 30, whom had been named by Chen Liang as the Four Great Vajrapanis.

The Four Great Vajrapanis were known as Strength King Ma Xiong, Fire King He Sheng, Sky King Yuan Zhen and Azure King Xu Jin.

After he had seized Long Teng Town, Chen LIang didn't really possess any management skills. The entire town had been neglected and ruined by his earlier actions, whilst he and his subordinates continued to spend most of their time playing with women. Therefore the entire town seemed somewhat dead, with all the good-looking and respected women not daring to leave their homes, or making themselves look filthy and smell bad on purpose, which meant that no one took an interest in them. If it wasn't for all the survivors being terrified of the tyrannical fighting power of Chen Liang and his subordinates, then the entire town would have long risen up in rebellion.

Yue Zhong had also gotten a very precious piece of intelligence from Xue Gang, that after Chen Liang had seized Long Teng Town, he had captured a company of border guards. He had only imprisoned them, with the wholehearted intention of assimilating the border guards. However, up until now, he had only been able to make 6 or 7 of the soldiers from the frontier army capitulate.

Chapter 353 – Shadow Wolf!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

That company of soldiers were specially sent to subdue Long Teng Town. However, the moment they had conquered it, the commanding officer was set up and murdered by Chen Liang, and the rest of the soldiers were suppressed and locked up. They had no chance to exhibit their combat prowess.

"A company of soldiers! That's great!!" When Yue Zhong heard this news, his eyebrows relaxed.

Those who had received prior professional training were the best combatants. With this company as the core of his new battalion, he could quickly train up the other troops, and with the experience of a few more battles, the battalion would be able to stand on its own.

Yue Zhong stood up and directly ordered Xue Gang, "Go! Lead me to the prison!!"

Xue Gang's face paled and he glanced at Yue Zhong's companions awkwardly as he said, "Sir! There are 20 soldiers guarding the prison, whilst at the same time, there is also the most powerful Sky King Yuan Zhen standing guard. Wouldn't you say that perhaps you don't quite have enough people?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhong's expression sunk a little.

Wu Yin immediately bumped the muzzle of the gun against Xue Gang's head and said icily, "If we want you to lead the way then do so! Don't waste any words. Or do you want to have a hole blown in your head right now?"

Xue Gang was startled and hurriedly replied, "I'll lead!! I'll lead!! Let's go right now!!"

Wu Yin glanced at the other two soldiers and a cold light flashed past his eyes as he directly asked, "Boss! What should we do about these two? Should we kill them off?"

After experiencing so many things, Wu Ying was already no longer a normal, naive person. Rather, he had grown to now become an iron-blooded warrior. In his eyes, those enemies' lives were as lowly as those of ants: if necessary, he definitely wouldn't hesitate to slaughter them.

Upon hearing this, those two soldiers' expressions instantly turned deathly pale as they repeatedly kowtowed towards Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong glanced at the soldiers and said lightly, "Knock them unconscious and tie them up! I've agreed that they can keep living if they cooperate. If they appear on the battlefield, then it's best to finish them off there!"

Upon hearing Yue Zhong's words, Xue Gang, who was standing at the side, let out a slight sigh of relief. Xue Gang was truly afraid of Yue Zhong 'destroying the bridge after crossing the river' and killing him after he had accomplished his goal.

"Yes!" Wu Yin received Yue Zhong's order and immediately knocked the two soldiers unconscious, before using rope to firmly tie them up.

"Go!"

The town seemed to be dead. There wasn't a single store open to do business, nor was there anyone wandering outside. Most of the survivors were hiding inside their homes, waiting for their deaths like walking corpses.

It was only in the meadows, which still had some life in them, that there were quite a lot of survivors surrounding the large trees. They were searching for insects, tree leaves, wild herbs and other similar things to eat, trying to eat their fill with great difficulty and continue surviving.

None of the survivors even glanced at Yue Zhong and the rest, for they had no strength left to pay attention to the matters of others. It was very challenging for them to even keep living. From time to time, one would see human corpses on the roadside, the cause of death being either starvation or suicide. Even then, there was no one who paid attention to these corpses, nor was there anyone who could be bothered to dispose of them.

The entire town didn't have a single trace of vitality, emitting a rotten lethargy. Perhaps even without a zombie invasion, this small town wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a few months.

"This Chen Liang really is useless! To actually turn this small town into this state!" Yue Zhong saw the dead atmosphere in the town and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. This was his first time seeing such awful management, a town without any order whatsoever.

Back then, regardless of whether it was Qing Yuan County or SY City, although the lives of the survivors were all very bitter, there was still social order to some extent. There was even a hint of hope, of emerging vitality. Yet in Long Teng Town, there wasn't any liveliness whatsoever- almost all of the survivors were doing nothing more than waiting for death.

After walking for a while, Yue Zhong and his party arrived at the prison.

Outside the prison gate stood four soldiers holding Type 81 Rifles.

"Finish them!" Yue Zhong directly ordered White Bones in a low voice.

The demonic spiritual fire in White Bones' eyes flashed, and White Bones opened its right hand. Four bone spears explosively shot out and instantly pierced through the heads of the four soldiers, killing them.

"How terrifying!" Upon seeing this scene, Xue Gang felt a slight chill in his heart. Yue Zhong had actually ordered his subordinate to kill without any further hesitation whatsoever, and the deed had been done instantly without any noise, leaving behind no traces. His heart went cold.

"Kill of all the guards inside!" Yue Zhong ordered White Bones in a heavy tone. Since he had already taken action, Yue Zhong decided to show no quarter.

After receiving Yue Zhong's order, White Bones rapidly rushed into the prison like lightning.

White Bones possessed speed five times that of a normal person; although it couldn't compare to Yue Zhong in this aspect, its speed was still far above that of an ordinary person. As soon as it rushed into the prison, bone blades began to shoot out violently one after another, beheading the prison guards inside one by one.

[Dedition: Fun fact: The average man jogs at a speed of 8.3 MpH which equivalates to 100m in 27 seconds. That means White Bones speed is at a shocking 41.5mph! Don't really understand? Usain Bolt's 100m fastest speed is at 27.79mph. You guys can do the maths from there.]

White Bones was truly too nimble. By the time one of the prison guards had reacted, it had already beheaded 13 others in succession. The remaining guards all raised their guns and opened fire with all their might at White Bones. It was just that when the lead bullets hit White Bones, all of them immediately ricocheted off!*1 White Bones effortlessly riposted with bone blades he sent flying through the air, directly beheading all of the remaining few prison guards.

Once White Bones had killed the last guard, the door to a room opened and a topless man wearing just his underpants rushed out. This man was precisely Chen Liang's subordinate, one of the Four Great Vajrapanis- Sky King Yuan Zhen!

Yuan Zhen saw the dismembered bodies of the prison guards in the surroundings and his heart shivered. He berated White Bones loudly, "Who are you? To think that you dare to commit such atrocities here!!!"

White Bones did not even waste any breath*2 instead, it raised its huge axe, and dashed forward with a heavy killing intent towards Yuan Zhen.

"You deserve to die!!" Yuan Zhen's eyes flashed, and he bellowed in rage, as he stepped forward, activating his "Ground Manipulation" ability. An incredibly sharp spike made of earth shot out from the ground towards White Bones.

The sharp spike had formed very quickly, and it pierced White Bones, lodging White Bones against the ceiling of the cell.

Sky King Yuan Zhen had the [Ground Manipulation] ability, which he had enhanced thrice; at the same time, he was a Level 39 Spirit-based Enhancer. His control of the [Ground Manipulation] ability was faster than most other normal Enhancers, and the speed of which it pierced his enemies was extremely quick.

Although it was the same skill, in the hands of different people, it could be utilized differently and exhibit varying amounts of strength. Sky King Yuan Zhen truly had the ability as a combatant, within the entire Long Teng Town, Chen Liang was the only person whom he had no confidence of winning against.

Yuan Zhen eyed White Bones that was pinned to the ceiling as he laughed coldly: "Trash! Just based on your ability, you want to lay siege on this place, truly audacious and not knowing your place!"

All of a sudden, his face turned pale, and instantly conjured up a huge wall of earth to defend himself.

At almost an instant later, gunshots rang out from a distance away, as 6 bullets landed explosively on the wall of earth. The bullets created 6 holes, penetrating them and exploded on the body of Yuan Zhen, sending him flying to the ground.

Yue Zhong waved his huge Dark Tooth Blade, and the wall of earth was instantly sliced apart, and Yuan Zhen could be seen struggling to stand up.

"Still not dead? What a tough Mutant Beast hide! It must belong to a Type 2 Mutant Beast!" Yue Zhong eyed Yuan Zhen, and quickly made an assessment.

Only a Type 2 Mutant Beast hide could properly withstand the bullets from the Stinger, but even then, a low-level Type 2 Mutant Beast hide would at most minimize the damage, not block it fully.

Yuan Zhen had just pushed himself off the ground, when a sharp bone spike shot towards his head in a flurry from the ceiling.

Yuan Zhen reacted in a frenzy and activated his [Ground Manipulation] ability again, as he raised another wall of earth to defend himself.

The sharp bone spike pierced through 30% of the thick wall before it came to a stop.

White Bones then morphed it's bones, and dropped down from the ceiling. As it fell it swung it's huge Bone Axe viciously downward in an explosive attack on the wall of earth!

When that axe swung down, the huge wall instantly shuddered, before shattering beneath the enormous oppressive force.

On the other side, Yuan Zhen was frantically pushing himself and controlling the wall of earth to rejoin and lock the axe in place. At the same time, with a thought, he opened up 2 small holes, allowing him to view the situation on the other side of the wall.

Just as he wanted to observe, a Shadow Wolf appeared by his side noiselessly. Opening its huge jaws, it clamped down on his unguarded throat without mercy!

"When did it appear?" That was the last thought flashing through Yuan Zhen's mind as his throat was snapped in twain by the Shadow Wolf, fresh blood splurting all over.

The Shadow Wolf could hide itself within the shadows, escaping detection from enemies. As Yuan Zhen had focused all his attention when facing against White Bones, the Shadow Wolf had made use of the chance to attack. If it were a fight between Ming Jiajia and Yuan Zhen, he might have ended the fight within a second.

With the death of Yuan Zhen, the maintenance of the spell was dissolved, and the earth wall as well as the earth spike immediately broke down, returning to their original form.

After Yue Zhong had finished off Yuan Zhen, he ordered Zheng Minghe to release the soldiers within the jail cell and gather them at the field.

Yue Zhong watched the soldiers, who almost numbered a complete company, and said in a heavy voice,

"I am Yue Zhong! It is I who saved you all! Right now you have two choices. The first one is that as long as you agree to not oppose me, then you can leave the town by yourselves. The second is to serve me, and go exterminate Chen Liang together with me. You will all henceforth obey my orders. I will bring you weapons, food, victory, glory and respect!"

Upon hearing Yue Zhong's speech, the soldiers from the frontier army remained taciturn for a period of time. They all looked at each other and began to discuss spiritedly. None of them understood exactly what sort of person Yue Zhong was – it would be almost impossible for them to immediately start obeying Yue Zhong. After all, they weren't like Gan Tao, someone who had suffered enough from the Vietnamese Army's torment and humiliation. As soon as he was rescued, Gan Tao had immediately been full of gratitude towards Yue Zhong.

A dark-skinned, very robust-looking soldier who was 1.7m tall stood out and said in a low voice,

"Hello. Yue Zhong! I am Shen Jianguang! We are willing to put an end to Chen Liang together with you. As long as you don't do anything that will harm the people of Long Teng Town, we can follow your orders for one month. After one month, we will decide whether to properly follow you or not. Do you think this is ok?"

Chapter 354 – Grinding!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong heard their decision and directly agreed,

"Fine!"

As long as these soldiers could serve as military instructors for one month, then they could train some new recruits for Yue Zhong. As long as they underwent a period of tempering and actual battle, those new recruits would possess better fighting strength. Real combat was the best method of training troops; only under the influence of real combat and the training provided in such a situation could such soldiers truly become elites.

Upon hearing Shen Jianguang's proposal, the other soldiers of the frontier army also agreed to it. After all, the outside world was currently extremely dangerous; even if Yue Zhong magnanimously let them go, without weapons, it would be very difficult for them to survive outside of this small town in the wilderness.

After incorporating these new troops, Yue Zhong then distributed all the different firearms seized from Chen Liang's subordinates to his new soldiers. Yue Zhong alone could wipe out one company of soldiers, so even if Shen Jianguang and the others revolted, he would still be able to suppress them.

Only after they had picked up the Type 81 Rifles and the ammunition did Shen Jianguang and the other 19 soldiers feel a little more secure in their hearts.

"Take me to Chen Liang's place!" Yue Zhong summoned Xue Gang and directly ordered.

Xue Gang saw how Yue Zhong had successfully attacked the prison that had over 20 soldiers guarding it so easily, and he felt even more reverence and respect in his heart,

"Yes! Sir!!"

After exiting the prison, Yue Zhong looked left and right, only to his surprise, he didn't see any reinforcements. It must be known that he and his team had just made quite the disturbance inside the prison, with sounds of gunfire resounding all over the place. If this had happened in the territory of some other power, police sirens would've long erupted and the army would've driven over!

Zheng Minghe and Wu Yin took the lead, rushing in the direction of the most luxurious villa compound under Xue Gang's guidance. Chen Liang and his confidants resided precisely in that villa compound, living their lavish lives of debauchery in a drunken stupor.

The villa compound was surrounded by a 3m tall perimeter wall, which had high voltage electricity surging through the surface. Inside the wall, there stood four towering machine gun turrets, each of them defended by two soldiers.

At the entrance to the villa, there were another 8 soldiers standing guard.

Inside the villa itself, squadrons of soldiers were constantly patrolling the place one after another, making the security seem extremely tight. The defense inside this villa were even more rigid than that of the entire combined Long Teng Town.

Zheng Minghe glanced at the villa from afar, his eyebrows furrowing as he said,

"It seems that this place won't be so easy to attack!"

Xue Gang heard this and directly said,

"Sir, you needn't worry! They seem to be guarding the place tightly, but in reality, each and every one of them can't fight!! As long as you get rid of a few of them, then they will directly fall apart!!"

"Oh!!"

Zheng Minghe heard Xue Gang's words and his heart stirred. He directly took out an AK and released a torrent of frenzied machine gunfire towards the entrance of the villa.

The sudden arrival of a metal storm of bullets instantly enveloped the soldiers patrolling at the entrance. In that dense rain of bullets, four of the eight soldiers protecting the entrance instantly collapsed onto the ground.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!" The remaining four soldiers instantly turned incomparably frenetic. As they shouted loudly, they crazily ran inside the villa.

The soldiers stationed around the villa's four machine gun turrets similarly fell into a panic. They directly pulled the triggers, spraying out a myriad of flames into all directions, firing randomly everywhere.

Their shooting had no accuracy whatsoever and they hit absolutely nothing but thin air, wasting a huge amount of bullets in vain.

Yue Zhong's gaze flashed as he took out a Type 03 Rifle and fired two shots in succession at one of the machine gun turrets. The two soldiers stationed there immediately had their heads blown off.

After those two soldiers had been finished off, the other machine gun turrets promptly stopped firing. The 6 remaining machine-gunners all lay down on the ground, not daring to emerge in the slightest.

Wu Yin raked the villa entrance with gunfire using his Type 05 Light Machine Gun, wounding or killing the soldiers one after another.

The soldiers inside the villa compound all hid behind cover, not daring to show their heads in the slightest. They would only fire randomly at Yue Zhong's direction from time to time, not even daring to emerge.

"Defeat them!!" Yue Zhong ordered White Bones, who was standing beside him.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's order, a fierce radiance flashed past White Bones' eyes. It directly rushed over to the villa entrance without bothering to dodge any of the enemy's bullets. A huge number of the bullets hit White Bones' body before they all ricocheted off. No matter how both sides saw it, a hint of fear flashed past everyone's eyes.

Xue Gang's expression paled and he thought to himself,

"How terrifying! To think that there's actually someone who's impervious to gunfire. With this sort of existence, just how many people would be able to block his assault!"

Shen Jianguang's expression also changed,

"Sure enough, these people are Enhancers with tyrannical strength. No wonder they dare to challenge Chen Liang with such few numbers. It's just still unknown whether their emergence will be good or bad to the people of Long Teng Town!"

Braving the dense rain of bullets, White Bones soon rushed up to the villa entrance. Four bone blades flew out backwards from its hands, and four human heads all flew into the air at once, with fresh blood splattering everywhere.

"I surrender!! Don't kill me!!"

"Surrender!! I surrender!! Please don't kill me!!"

Upon seeing this frightening scene, the soldiers inside the villa instantly lost all their fighting spirit. One by one, they either threw down their firearms and fled further inside the villa, or knelt down on the ground crying out loudly for mercy. They had no more determination to fight whatsoever.

White Bones didn't pay attention to the soldiers begging for mercy on the floor. Rather, it continued to crazily charge forward, constantly beheading the soldiers who were still resisting.

Bone blades and bone spears constantly flickered about, bringing forth huge patches of fresh blood. Those amongst Chen Liang's confidants who still attempted to resist were all easily beheaded by White Bones, or impaled to death.

Yue Zhong brought his party along as he followed behind White Bones, continuously subduing the terrified mobs of soldiers.

"That son of a bitch actually dares to misbehave here! Does he not want his life anymore?" Accompanied by a furious shout, a sinister-looking brute walked out from a villa and coldly looked down at the current situation outside. He was 1.8m tall and had a shaven head, with a huge Wolf Fang Club in his hands.

With a 'bang', the club-wielding brute instantly had his head blown apart, and his body fell backwards.

The smoke being emitted from the Stinger in Yue Zhong's hands still hadn't completely dissipated as he glanced at the brute and said coldly,

"You spout too much nonsense! Fool!"

Standing beside Yue Zhong, Xue Gang looked at the brute who had his head blown off, and his heart felt slightly complicated.

That brute was one of Chen Liang's Four Great Vajrapanis- Strength King Ma Xiong. Ma Xiong possessed a body full of monstrous energy: just one strike of his club could smash an L2 zombie's head into pieces. At the same time, he wore Mutant Beast Armor with astonishing defense capabilities on his body. Back when Chen Liang had first seized Long Teng Town, Ma Xiong had killed many other experts, yet today he had actually been finished off by Yue Zhong in one shot; he didn't even have time to announce his name. From this, it could be seen just how terrifying Yue Zhong's power was.

As soon as Ma Xiong had been killed, White Bones directly rushed into the villa in which he had resided. Very quickly, tragic death cries could be heard from within the villa: evidently, White Bones was currently slaughtering those soldiers who posed no threat to it whatsoever.

Not long after, White Bones, who was covered in blood, immediately walked out of the villa and continued to act as the vanguard, rushing further inside the villa compound.

Under White Bones' devilish assault, the soldiers who had no hearts to fight all fell apart and surrendered. In fact, the entire way, all Yue Zhong and his party had to do was gather captives. They simply didn't encounter any sort of resistance at all. Those who did resist where insta-killed by White Bones in one strike anyway!

Yue Zhong and his team launched attacks the entire way with irresistible force. Once they had reached the center of the villa compound, however, the situation suddenly changed. One after another, rattan vines began to suddenly rise up from the ground, trying to engulf White Bones.

Nevertheless, White Bones was still a powerhouse who had experienced countless battles. Two bone blades erupted from both of its legs and easily chopped those two rattan vines in half.

Just when the two rattan vines had been severed, four more of them burst out from where White Bones had landed. With great precision, they shot towards all four of White Bones' limbs.

As soon as White Bones was caught by those rattan vines, it would have no way of moving at all. It would then only serve as the best target for the other strong enemies.

Those four rattan vines were insanely fast and unpredictable. It would be very difficult to dodge them even for Yue Zhong, who possessed the consummate speed of more than 10 people! White Bones only had speed five times that of a normal person, and so it simply couldn't avoid the assaulting vines. It was instantly entangled by the fearful rattan vines.

White Bones' eyes flashed with a demonic spiritual fire, and the bones that had been bound by the rattan vines turned into incomparably sharp bone blades in an instant. Its figure flashed and it rushed forward, directly chopping all the rattan vines in half.

Once White Bones had struggled free from the rattan vines, it extended its right hand and pointed to a room in the distance. A sharp bone spear flew out from its finger and instantly pierced through the head of the man inside the room, nailing him to the wall like a freshly framed picture!

That man was precisely one of Chen Liang's subordinates, the Azure King Xu Jin of the Four Great Vajrapanis. Now that Xu JIn was dead, all of the rattan vines disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing but several large holes behind, which showed that something had emerged from the ground just now.

Zheng Minghe watched White Bones kill Xu Jin with ease and his heart was full of astonishment,

"How powerful!! This White Bones is truly too tyrannical! To actually be able to easily behead someone as strong as this. No wonder he can represent Commander Yue Zhong's entire army! If there were no heavy weapons, perhaps even an entire battalion wouldn't be able to stop him!!"

Just at this moment, a short, ordinary-looking young man in his twenties walked out from one of the nearby villas. He had dyed yellow hair, ear piercings and was dressed like a gangster. With a hazy expression, he said coldly,

"Who is it?! Who dares to come to my place and murder people?! Fuck, do you not want to live anymore!?!"

Xue Gang looked at Chen Liang, who was dressed like a gangster, and he couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air. He retreated a few steps and said,

"Chen Liang!! This demon has finally emerged!!"

Yue Zhong glanced at Chen Liang and directly used the Stinger to fire a shot at his head.

With a 'bang', the Stinger bullet almost instantly appeared between Chen Liang's eyebrows.

Just as Chen Liang was about to have his head blown off by Yue Zhong, threads of green light began to rush out from the pit of his stomach. A small green bell flew out and landed onto his head, emitting many halos of green light that formed a protective layer around his body! The Stinger bullet bombarded the green halos, yet immediately bounced off….*1

Chapter 355 – Battling Chen Liang!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"What's that?" Yue Zhong looked at the green bell on Chen Liang's head, and his eyes shined, it definitely was some kind of treasure.

"You dare to attack me!!! I will destroy you!!!" Chen Liang's features contorted, as he bellowed with rage and bravado, while his heart secretly palpitated with fear. If it wasn't for that Level 5 Treasure Bronze Spiritual Bell, he would have his head blasted beyond recognition.

"Go die!!" Chen Liang's expression was steely as he stepped forward, and threw an explosive punch towards White Bones.

White Bones seemed to have been assaulted with a huge weight, as it was sent flying back a few metres. That bone carapace that could withstand even the impact of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun was currently full of scars.

Shen Jianguang, Wu Yin and Zheng Minghe used their guns to fire wildly at Chen Liang, and the dense hail of bullets seemed to envelope him. However, those bullets were immediately stopped in mid-air! When the Bronze Spiritual Bell shot out a green beam to protect Chen Liang, it caused the bullets to fall to the ground, leaving Chen Liang unscathed.

"It's useless!! Hey you bunch of bastards!! Watch while, I, your father kills all of you!!" Chen Liang laughed grimly, and like a devil, he shot towards Yue Zhong and the rest.

"His attack has a limited range!" Yue Zhong looked at Chen Liang charging over as he quietly assessed.

"Retreat!" Yue Zhong barked out, as he waved his hands, and a PF98 appeared in them. He quickly took aim at Chen Liang and fired off a rocket.

With a flash, the anti-tank rocket exploded towards Chen Liang.

"Rocket!! Damn bastard!" Chen Liang looked at the rocket in Yue Zhong's hands and his eyes narrowed. He kicked off with both his legs, as his entire body rolled towards a small ditch.

The rocket brushed past Chen Liang's body, and exploded when it came into contact with a wall of a villa, blasting a huge hole in it.

"While the defence of that green bell is extraordinary, it seems that it cannot withstand the impact of a rocket!" Yue Zhong watched Chen Liang dodging his attack, and quickly came to a conclusion about the treasure.

"Fuck! Die bitch!!" With the shattering of glass, Chen Liang appeared from another room by jumping through the window. His eyes flashed with a furious killing intent as he threw out an explosive punch.

Yue Zhong was currently about 40m away from Chen Liang, yet the latter had actually thrown out a punch in mid-air!?! This punch was seemingly harmless; however, Yue Zhong did not dare be careless and raised his hands in front to defend.

At the next instant, a torrential energy wave came crashing heavily onto Yue Zhong's shoulders, bypassing the Type 2 Mutant Ferocious Pig's hide he was wearing. It caused him to fly back a few metres and his shoulder blades almost shattered.

"What a terrifying strength! This fellow!" Yue Zhong leapt to his feet, his gaze filled with shock.

Although Chen Liang did not know how to manage a town, and the people working for him were just a mob, he did indeed possess power. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's own resilience, that earlier blow might have shattered his bones. Even with his Endurance, he still felt his shoulders go numb from the pain.

"Die!!" Chen Liang's eyes turned cold, as he laughed out icily. He pushed off with his feet, and he suddenly shot towards Yue Zhong as though he had grown wings and because of the leap, he was moving at a speed 20 times faster than a normal person.

Right at this moment, White Bones flashed forward, and it blocked Chen Liang's charge, waving its huge axe towards him in a vicious manner. Regardless of the defence mechanism, maintaining it would require the expenditure of energy, and if there was a limit to its capabilities, as long as the force exceeded it, it could destroy the defence.

Chen Liang smiled coldly and in an instant, his fist came to a halt before bombarding towards White Bones, "Trash! You have such puny power, yet you still want to block this daddy's path! Let I, your father, blast your head apart!"

White Bones, who was standing a dozen meters away from Chen Liang, twisted its body slightly. The very next moment, its shoulder blades shattered and it flew backwards a dozen meters, before crashing into a villa and disappearing inside.

During that instant when Chen Liang had stopped his assault on White Bones, Shen Jianguang and the other soldiers all used their rifles to fire at Chen Liang in a frenzy.

Countless bullets hit the green halos covering his body before they all immediately ricocheted off.

"Trash! Go die!"

Chen Liang saw that they were firing at him and his figure flashed as he rushed towards one of the soldiers. In just a few breaths, he was already within forty meters of that soldier, and he sent out a punch into the void.

In an instant, the soldier's head was directly split open and exploded by that terrifying, tremendous force.

Upon seeing this horrifying scene, each and every person's expression changed greatly, and their figures instantly retreated.

At this moment, Chen Liang seemed like an unrivalled demon. Not only was he invulnerable to their gunfire, but at the same time, he possessed incomparably terrifying killing methods. Although Zheng Minghe and the others had the advantage in numbers, very few of them possessed the means of injuring Chen Liang.

"Go die! Go die! Those who betray me should all go die!! I am an unrivalled existence!! Hahaha!! Haha!!"

Chen Liang let out an insane laugh as he repeatedly waved his fist.

Facing Chen Liang's terrifying and bizarre abilities, the soldiers were killed one after another.

Either their head was blasted apart, or a large hole was blown through their heart. Otherwise, they were hit directly in the waist and bombarded in half, and would start emitting painful cries on the ground.

With the protection of the Bronze Spiritual Bell, Chen Liang possessed the potential to single-handedly destroy an entire company of soldiers that did not possess any heavy weapons. This was the reason why he was able to terrorize the entire town even though he possessed zero governing ability.

"Animal!!!" Shen Jianguang saw his comrades dying in front of him, and his eyes turned bloodshot as he wielded his Type 81 rifle as he fired at Chen Liang in a frenzy.

A large number of the bullets landed on the green halo and ricocheted off, serving only to draw his attention away.

Chen Liang turned around and glanced at Shen Jianguang, before smirking coldly, and waved that fist of his that could snatch a person's life easily. At this moment, he felt a sudden surge of crisis, and he immediately shifted about 5m in mid-air, as a rocket flew past him, and exploded on another villa behind him, blasting a new hole.

"He has the [Danger Perception] ability!! What a troublesome fellow!!" Yue Zhong put down his rocket launcher and eyed Chen Liang at the distance as he pondered.

Chen Liang mocked Yue Zhong with a cold laugh, and he shot towards Yue Zhong like a rocket, even though he hadn't make any movements, as he said: "It's useless!! I'm invincible!! Today, all you bastards are going to die at my hands!!"

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, and he activated his [Bone Encompassing Armor] and [Shadow Steps, at that instant, White Bones turned into an orb of light and reappeared on Yue Zhong's body. Yue Zhong then pulled out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade and charged towards Chen Liang.

Both parties approached each other, and within a distance of 40m, Chen Liang laughed coldly again as he sent out a fist: "Trash! Die!"

Yue Zhong's gaze frosted over, as his body dodged towards the right, and a huge blast of energy brushed past his body, landing on the ground behind and resulted in a huge hole.

While Chen Liang's attack was extremely brutal, it was crude and simple, and Yue Zhong simply side-stepped with his boosted speed and evaded the blow, before continuing with his own. He quickly arrived in front of Chen Liang.

"Idiot!! Just die!!" Chen Liang looked at Yue Zhong who had charged in front of him, and he barked out a cold laugh, and sent another fist at him.

Yue Zhong had just thought of evading, but he felt a deadly premonition, and instead shot out 2 bone spears from his feet, sending him towards the sky.

Chen Liang's fist had just exploded out, and did not hit the 2 bone spears, but they shattered, turning into countless bone fragments.

"Air Cannon!! You must be using the [Air Manipulation] ability!" Yue Zhong landed on the ground, and managed to see through Chen Liang's ability.

Chen Liang responded with a grim smile, and with a thought, he conjured 10 air cannons, sending towards Yue Zhong: "That's right! Even though you have figured it out, it's still useless! My ability is an unparalleled existence!!"

The closer the air cannons were to Chen Liang himself, the more threatening they become, he could also feel that Yue Zhong was going to be hard to deal with, that's why he had purposefully lured Yue Zhong closer.

Chen Liang had, by a stroke of luck, come across and killed 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts that were engaged in a fight. They had been exhausted and Chen Liang gain the benefits at the end, not only obtaining the Bronze Spiritual Bell, he also managed to raise his [Air Manipulation] ability to the 2nd Level, on top of that, he even reached Level 53. His power was truly considered without peer in the vicinity. It was because of this, that he was full of confidence dealing with Yue Zhong.

The 10 air cannons were truly frightening, and when they exploded on Yue Zhong's body, his Bone Encompassing Armor was immediately blasted apart. His own body felt like it was hit by countless heavy weights, as the impact knocked and sent tremors within his internal organs, causing him to spit out blood.

Yue Zhong took a deep breath, before he activated his [Art of Fear].

An oppressive spirit attack immediately weighed towards Chen Liang, bringing with it countless horrifying images.

Chen Liang only frowned slightly, with no change to his body. His Spirit was after all close to Yue Zhong's level, the [Art of Fear] did not work against him.

"Still not dead? Let me send you on your way!!" Chen Liang sneered, before pointing at Yue Zhong, and activated his ability.

Right at this time, a ice spear came flying out of nowhere and exploded viciously on the green halo released by the Green Spiritual Bell, causing the halo to tremble, before becoming dimmer.

Chen Liang immediately shot a look towards the direction, and discovered Shu Tianya whose face was pale.

Chen Liang eyed Shu Tianya and his expression turned to one of viciousness and ferocity: "Fucking bitch!! After your daddy I catch you and fuck you over, I'll tear your limbs apart! Then I'll send you to be messed with by the people in town!!"

Hearing such venomous words, Shu Tianya's face turned white, based on his strength, he truly did possess the ability to carry it out.

"Before then, I'll incinerate you!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with an icy light, as he created his Devil Flame Sword and swung it down viciously towards Chen Liang in a supremely powerful attack!

Chapter 356 – xcx

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition,Kun, Vaticious

[Book 3: The South] Chapter 356: Finishing Chen Liang!

The huge Devil Flame Sword came swinging down viciously onto the halo of the Bronze Spiritual Bell, and that intense fiery energy that could even incinerate the protective scales of a Type 2 Mutant Beast came down, exploding on the halo.

Under Yue Zhong's control, the Devil Flame exhibited an unparalleled might, and the green halo started to crack.

The level of damage from the Devil Flame was dependent on Yue Zhong's combined attributes as well as the level of the Skill. As a Spirit and Endurance dual-Attribute Evolver, his overall strength was definitely a cut above most other Evolvers. The Devil Flame was likewise many times more fearsome, and could easily pierce through even the toughest of scales of a Type 2 Mutant Beast.

Just when the Devil Flame Sword was about to slice Chen Liang's neck, the Bronze Spiritual Bell atop his head flashed, and a huge green halo spread out in all directions. The terrifying flames from the Devil Flame Sword were dissipated as a result,

At the same time, the Bronze Spiritual Bell dimmed a lot, and fell on the ground, the green halo also disappeared as a result. Although it was a Level 5 Treasure, it had its limits as well, and defending against that one fearsome strike from Yue Zhong took all of its energy.

When the Bronze Spiritual Bell broke, Chen Liang's face instantly fell. There was nothing so far that had managed to break his defence ever since he obtained that treasure. He had even experienced countless rockets in his face fired by normal people, and he was always unscathed. This was why he dared to be a tyrant and oppress everyone else.

When Wu Yin and Zheng Minghe saw the Bronze Spiritual Bell land on the floor, their mind trembled, and immediately lifted their guns and fired wildly at Chen Liang. Without the protection of the bell, Chen Liang wasn't an invincible foe anymore.

"Bunch of bastards! I'll remember this!!!" Chen Liang roared in anger, as he activated his Level 2 [Air Manipulation] ability, and a barrier made entirely of air appeared around him.

The countless bullets hit the barrier, and ricocheted off.

Chen Liang waved his hand, as he sent out a wave of energy, and collected the Bronze Spiritual Bell into his hand.

"Go die!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with coldness, as he reached out with his fingers, and 10 small orbs of Devil Flame shot towards Chen Liang.

Chen Liang's face turned pale, as he quickly activated his skill, and the air barrier appeared once more.

The 10 Devil Flame blasts exploded on contact, causing the air barrier to be blasted apart, and from the point of impact the resulting explosion expanded outwards. However, Chen Liang concentrated, and a current of air caused the flames to be blown away. The intense flames landed on the surrounding buildings, causing them to start burning.

Chen Liang was just an ordinary Enhancer, and his Spirit was naturally incomparable to Yue Zhong who was a Spirit and Endurance-based Evolver. However, he possessed a Level 2 skill, and just based on the might of the skill, he managed to totally suppress Yue Zhong. If he only had the Level 1 version, then he would have long been incinerated by Yue Zhong.

Chen Liang had just defended against the assault from Yue Zhong, when an incredibly sharp ice spear shot from his blind spot, aiming for his head. At the same time, Wu Yin, Chen Jianguang, Zheng Minghe and a few other soldiers were all firing at him.

Facing their overwhelming attacks, Chen Liang roared in anger once again, as his Level 2 [Air Manipulation] ability was casted once again, defending him from the front.

The bullets landed on the air barrier and ricocheted off, while the ice spear hit the barrier and shattered, causing large chunks of ice to scatter all over the ground. Every single attack had smashed into the barrier, and was thoroughly defended against.

Having activated the skill multiple times in succession, Chen Liang's face was pale, and he quickly turned around, as he sprinted towards the distance in an attempt to escape. He had expended a huge amount of energy casting his skill in succession, and while the Level 2 ability was shocking, the consumption was likewise dangerous, if he couldn't take out the enemy quickly, he would lose his combat stamina rapidly.

"Thinking of escape?! I'll make sure to execute you today!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, as he waved his hands to hide his access of the storage ring, and his PF98 appeared in his grips. He took one quick aim at Chen Liang and immediately fired off.

With his current state and activation of [Shadow Steps, Yue Zhong's speed was quicker than normal people by an absurd number of times, and that entire movement only took 1 second. He had already seen through Chen Liang's usage of the [Air Manipulation] activity to send himself charging at an extreme speed. With this attack, he was confident of hitting his target.

"I can't escape!!" Chen Liang also possessed the [Danger Perception] skill, and he felt the sense of crisis approaching from his back. He gritted his teeth, and swiftly activated his Level 2 skill once more, as the air barrier appeared again.

With a flash, the rocket landed within that barrier of air, however, the resulting explosion did not happen and instead, the rocket was trapped and suspended there..

"Here, I'll return it to you!!" Chen Liang bellowed in rage, and his eyes flashed, while he concentrated on his ability, and used the air currents to turn the rocket around and shoot it towards Yue Zhong this time.

Yue Zhong was prepared however, as a bone spike shot out from his right arm and pierced into a nearby house, supporting him as it shot him into the sky. He leapt high up, and intended to dodge the incoming rocket.

"Naive!!" Chen Liang laughed grimly, and he pushed his skill, and the rocket seemed to gain a life of its own as it chased after Yue Zhong. By now, Chen Liang had already hidden within a small alley, and was evading the line of sight of everyone else, as he focused on controlling the rocket to hit Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong looked at the rocket surrounded by the air pocket heading for him, and his face changed. His left hand shot a bone spike towards the rocket within the air pocket, intending to slice it in two.

"It's too late!!" Chen Liang laughed out madly, and the rocket swiftly shot towards Yue Zhong under his control, and immediately detonated. The fearsome thing about the Level 2 [Air Manipulation] ability was that with his intense focus, he could do anything with it.

The resulting explosion swallowed Yue Zhong up.

"Hahaha!! I'm the strongest!! Haha!!" Chen Liang laughed out madly, he could feel that amongst the enemies present, the one posing the greatest threat to him was Yue Zhong. As for the rest, once he recovered, he could slaughter them all.

As he was still gloating, from amidst his shadows, a Shadow Wolf pounced over noiselessly, and bit towards his neck.

All of Chen Liang's attention had been on Yue Zhong, and only when the razor-sharp teeth were touching his neck, did Chen Liang react, and sent out an explosive fist towards the Shadow Wolf.

Following that strike, the Shadow Wolf dissipated into nothing.

At the same time, Chen Liang also let out a moan in agony. The Shadow Wolf had bitten off a huge chunk of meat from his neck, causing fresh blood to flow.

"Damn it!! Damn it!!" The sharp pain caused Chen Liang to lose focus and grow light-headed, as he continued to moan in agonizing pain, like a wild beast.

Peng! A Stinger bullet lodged itself between Chen Liang's brows, and blasted his head apart into pieces, as his headless corpse slumped to the floor.

Chen Liang's combat ability was truly shocking, however his experiences with life and death were simply too little. The reason he could become a Level 53 Enhancer was attributed to the fact that he was lucky enough to kill 2 tired out Type 3 Mutant Beasts. Without the protection of the Bronze Spiritual Bell, he was simply a tough opponent, instead of an invincible one.

At a nearby rooftop, with his Bone Encompassing Armor broken in many places, and his body riddled in injuries, as well as a huge hole in his right abdomen, Yue Zhong looked on at the headless corpse, his right eye swollen shut, as he heaved a sigh of relief. That fearsome opponent had finally died.

Chen Liang was lacking in management skills, and his lackeys were a bunch of mobs, running the moment they were defeated. However, if they were Mobs, he was definitely the Mob Boss. His personal combat ability was the strongest out of the enemies Yue Zhong had faced so far. His level was even higher than Yue Zhong, possessing a Level 5 treasure, and possessed a Level 2 Skill, his abilities were truly not simple. However, in the end, he was still killed by Yue Zhong!

Yue Zhong waved his hand, and shot out a bone spike like a crutch, as it supported him for walking towards Chen Liang's corpse.

When he landed on the ground, the pain was so immense, he immediately tumbled down to the ground, and panted in ragged breaths. The injury from his right abdomen was causing him excruciating pain, such that his brows were furrowed and he almost went mad with the pulsing waves of agony.

Yue Zhong swiftly pulled out a Life Saving Grass and crudely applied it to the wound, and at the same time, retrieved the blood essence of the recent Type 2 Giant Crocodile and gobbled it up.

The moment the blood essence entered Yue Zhong's stomach, it transformed into a hot wave of nourishment, as it boosted his body. At the same time, the Level 4 [Regeneration] skill and his powerful Vitality kicked in, allowing the huge wound to recover at a visible rate.

Yue Zhong looked at his regenerating abdomen and thought to himself: "This kind of recovery is truly too scary! If it was before the apocalypse, I would definitely be treated as a freak!"

With the nourishment of the blood essence, Yue Zhong could slowly make his way to the corpse, and started to loot the System equipment from Chen Liang.

"Level 5 Treasure: Bronze Spiritual Bell! As long as one has it, can gain 4 Endurance and 4 Spirit. It possesses the automatic ability: Halo Protection! Description: Can release a green halo to protect the owner of the treasure. Maintains for about 60 minutes. Cooldown 24 hours."

"Level 3 Treasure: Spirit Consolidating Ring. Upon equipping, Spirit 8."

"Level 3 Treasure: Clear Spirit Ring. Upon equipping, Spirit 8."

"Level 3 Treasure: Agility Ring. Upon equipping, Agility 6."

Yue Zhong gained a variety of System equipment from the body of Chen Liang, there was even a Level 2 Defense Armor. However, out of all those equipment, he only lacked the previous 4 treasures. He had the rest of the items already. Even still, all these equipment could raise his battle ability and his subordinate teams stood to gain immensely.

Chapter 357 – Type 3 Mutant Beast Hide

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"You have gained an enhancement of 8 in Vitality!" When the hot energy flow within Yue Zhong's body dispersed, the notification resounded in Yue Zhong's mind.

"Only 8 Vitality? The Type 2 Mutant Beast blood essence is truly losing its effectiveness for me!" Yue Zhong thought silently when he heard it.

The Type 2 Mutant Giant Crocodile was obviously stronger than many other Type 2 Mutant Beasts, however, its blood essence had only allowed Yue Zhong to gain 8 points in Vitality. It was clear that the constant dosage of blood essences was losing its effectiveness for Yue Zhong, and if he continued at his current rate of consumption, it was most likely that it would have no effect soon.

"Are you alright Yue Zhong?" Shu Tianya came to his side quickly, her face full of concern.

"Of course I'm fine! Thanks for helping out this time!" Yue Zhong smiled slightly, and offered his thanks. Shu Tianya had helped to distract Chen Liang a number of times, and without her, it might have been much more difficult for Yue Zhong to kill Chen Liang.

Shu Tianya responded with a coy smile: "Since you want to thank me, why not offer something more practical!"

"Here, for you!!" Yue Zhong threw a Level 3 Treasure Fireball Ring to her. He had killed countless Enhancers, and had looted plenty of System equipment, in fact, of this particular ring, he had 3 of them.

These rings could be found by killing low-level bosses at the initial stages of the apocalypse, however, up till now, unless one managed to kill a Type 2 Mutant Beast or some fearsome high level zombies, it was rare for it to drop. Even when using the System equipment to kill over 10,000 zombies, it was difficult to guarantee the drop of such a loot.

"Many thanks!" Shu Tianya received the ring and immediately wore it, whilst admiring it.

The Level 3 Fireball Ring allowed the user to gain 6 points in Spirit, and even came with a Fireball skill. In some situations, even a small fireball might make the difference between victory and defeat. To Shu Tianya, this was extremely suited to her tastes.

Yue Zhong continued: "On top of this, I'm giving you 20 AKs, 2,000 bullets and 20 tonnes of rations!"

When she heard it, Shu Tianya immediately broke into a resplendent smile, her heart full of excitement and joy as she thanked Yue Zhong: "Thank you!!"

Firearms, ammunition and rations were the most valuable resources of this post-apocalyptic world. Since Shu Tianya wanted to establish a faction of her own, she required such resources. When she heard Yue Zhong's promise, she was extremely gratified and felt excited about her future.

"Jiajia! Come over here! This is for you!" Yue Zhong bade Ming Jiajia to come over and handed a set of System equipment to her.

A Level 2 Defence Vest, Strength Gloves, Fireball Ring, Ice Ring, Strength Ring, Green Agility Boots and a Strength Belt. Yue Zhong handed these 7 items over to the little loli. In this operation to kill Chen Liang, Ming Jiajia had contributed as well, although the Shadow Wolf did not manage to kill him, it injured him greatly, which allowed Yue Zhong to finish him off.

Shu Tianya saw the amount of equipment that Yue Zhong gave Ming Jiajia and her eyes went wide: "Good stuff! How come you didn't give them to me?"

Those 7 items were not ordinary, and when equipped, they could turn even a normal person into a fearsome combatant. If an Enhancer with enough power were to equip them, they could increase their battle prowess beyond those of similar levels as well.

Ming Jiajia equipped everything, and could distinctly feel her body enhanced, as she smiled brightly at Yue Zhong: "Thank you Master!!" Yue Zhong ruffled Ming Jiajia's hair and walked towards the distance.

When Chen Liang was killed, there was no one else in the town that could possibly stand up to Yue Zhong, and accordingly, the remaining soldiers surrendered without much resistance. Yue Zhong thus easily subjugated the town.

"Leader!! Come take a look!! We discovered something good!!" Wu Yin came to Yue Zhong and spoke with excitement.

Yue Zhong saw how excited Wu Yin was, and quickly followed him to a huge warehouse.

Wu Yin had gotten some men to open up the warehouse, to reveal the contents within.

Yue Zhong peered into it, only to discover neat piles of black snakeskin hide. In fact, the snakeskin almost filled up the entire warehouse.

"Leader, look!!" Wu Yin excitedly pulled out a piece of the hide and after setting it up, used a heavy machine gun to fire at it.

That heavy machine gun that could pummel holes into an armored vehicle, could not do a single thing to that black snake skin hide, the bullets only ricocheting off, not leaving even a scratch.

Wu Yin continued with fervor: "This is definitely a Type 2 Mutant Beast's hide!!"

With this powerful Type 2 Mutant Beast hide, Yue Zhong could start the manufacturing of them into protection for an entire army.

"It's not just this warehouse, look, there's one here as well!!!" Wu Yin called for some men to open another warehouse.

Within the 2nd warehouse, there were piles of golden yellow scales, that came from some unknown Mutant Beast. The beast must have been massive as well, because the amount of scales also filled up the entire warehouse.

"This is great!!" Yue Zhong looked at the 2 warehouse filled with Mutant Beast hide, his eyes also filled with excitement. If he were to convert the hides as well as the hide from the Type 2 Mutant Crocodile, it was barely enough to equip a battalion of soldiers. A single battalion that was impervious to weapons and bullets was enough to conquer a province easily.

In his excitement, Yue Zhong took a piece of the black snake skin hide, as he tried his Black Tooth Blade on it, intending to test its durability.

With a 'ding', the Level 4 treasure Black Tooth Blade did not even manage to leave a mark on the hide.

Yue Zhong's heart skipped a beat, as his eyes narrowed, and he expended his awesome Strength while he slashed at the hide again. With that kind of strength, Yue Zhong could forcefully slice the scales of a Type 2 Mutant Beast.

The fearsome blade slashed down on the hide, but it only caused another ding to reverb out. The recoil from the hit caused the Black Tooth Blade to shudder uncontrollably, but the hide was not even damaged at all.

"This is the hide of a Type 3 Mutant Beast!!!" Yue Zhong's face was full of shock, and he felt elated. Such a precious piece of hide, with an astonishing defence, had just fallen into his arms. It would enable him to train up a battalion that would be able to withstand the attacks from 3 or 4 elite battalions.

Yue Zhong pondered a while, before taking out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade, and while using the saw-edged side, coupled with his strength,he tried to saw the skin.

Under his maximum effort, he finally managed to split the snake skin. He heaved a sigh of relief, if it hadn't worked, then even using chainsaws would not be effective.

Yue Zhong waved his right hand, and a ball of Devil Flame appeared, as it tried to burn the skin. Amidst the fiery heat, the skin was still intact and not a trace of damage could be seen.

Yue Zhong sighed, before expending 60 points of Spirit and 20 points of Stamina to condense the Devil Flame into a 2m-long Devil Flame Spear, which could easily pierce the scales of a Type 2 Mutant Beast. He then tried piercing the snake skin ruthlessly. Under that fierce strike, the Devil Flame Spear released an intense force at the tip, trying to burn through the skin. However, regardless of the degree of heat, all it did was cause a small hole in the hide.

Yue Zhong looked at the miniscule hole and was speechless. The Devil Flame Spear was the strongest attack that he could muster in his arsenal, yet it could only burn a small hole in this snake skin. It could be seen that the defence of the Type 3 Mutant Beast was truly, supremely terrifying.

This was the hide of a dead Type 3 Mutant Beast after all! If it was still alive, Yue Zhong would find it next to impossible to even injure it.

"Seems like only when I've evolved the Devil Flame into its 2nd stage, then I will be able to cause some actual damage to a Type 3 Mutant Beast. Otherwise, considering my skills now, even breaking their defence is going to be difficult!" Yue Zhong silently assessed in his heart.

As the humans were evolving, the Mutant Beasts and zombies were evolving as well. They were growing even faster than the humans, and this gave Yue Zhong pressure. If the humans didn't evolve fast enough, they would be wiped away in this new world.

Zheng Minghe was deployed to notify Wei Ningguo who was stationed at Dong Ping Village.

On the 2nd day, Wei Ningguo brought the 1,000 something people and entered Long Teng Town. Since breaking away on his own, this was the first time Yue Zhong had gained a moment of rest.

After subjugating Long Teng Town, Yue Zhong gathered the inhabitants, and assigned them to begin production on the Mutant Beast armor. They first made use of the Type 2 Giant Crocodile hide before the Type 3 ones.

While the Type 3 Mutant Beast hides were indeed tough, the chainsaws could still cut them apart. With their usage, pieces were cut out and sewn together to create some armor.

On the other side, Yue Zhong separated the Chinese survivors from Vietnam and the strong males from Long Teng Town into 2 camps, as he engaged in relentless training with them.

The 2 battalions trained rigorously according to the training regime of the Special Combat Forces. They pushed past their limits everyday, and if it wasn't for the meat of the Type 2 Beast, they wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

As for Ming Jiajia, Wu Yin, Wei Ningguo, Zheng Minghe and a few other Enhancers, they were also tasked by Yue Zhong to train with the Special Combat Forces. Although they had decent body constitutions, they had not gone through proper training, and could not exhibit their full potential…

[Book 3: The South] Chapter 358: Individual Ideals! Zhang Zhi's Decision!

"Congratulations on gaining 1 point in Spirit!" Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as the sweet sound of a System notification rang out in his mind .

After conquering Long Teng Town, Yue Zhong had a chance for a true breather, and he ingested the Pearl Fruit under the protection of White Bones . Yue Zhong gobbled 5 of them in one shot, and his Spirit gained 20 points of enhancement .

"Is this the limit?" Yue Zhong proceeded to pop in one more fruit, and he swallowed it, yet he found that while there was a cool stream of energy within his body, it could not help enhance his stats anymore .

"Get Chen Jianguang in to see me!" Yue Zhong told Ming Jiajia .

Ming Jiajia nodded and dismissed herself, saying: "Yes! Master!"

Not long after, Chen Jianguang was brought by Ming Jiajia .

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Jianguang with a piercing gaze: "Chen Jianguang! A month has passed, what is your decision? Are you all staying, or leaving? If you choose to leave, on account that you guys have helped to train my men, I can let you guys have 5 days worth of rations each, as well as 5 Type 81 rifles, and 100 bullets .

Currently, it has been a month since Yue Zhong had conquered Long Teng Town, and in this month, he had used a harsh training regime to train up his 2 battalions . Those 2 battalions were made up of the survivors who had suffered greatly, and could tolerate the harsh training . At the same time, Yue Zhong fed them with the Type 2 Mutant Beast meat to help them recover their vigor and boost their constitutions . Under that intense training, the 2 battalions were starting to show signs of a proper army, at the same time, while they were still far from an actual military, they could match against an army which had been training for a year .

These 2 battalions had trained hard, but they still lacked the battle experience . As long as they were forged through the flames of war, they would become an elite troop . Since his troops were trained, Yue Zhong's mood was good as well, and naturally was willing to let those previous troops leave .

A forcefully picked melon was not sweet and if Yue Zhong kept them against their will, it would only breed contempt and dissatisfaction . And in time, if they were to backstab him internally, it would be a problem . It had been the case with the Freemasons previously .

Chen Jianguang responded with a straight look at Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong! I want to ask you, what's the deal with the slaves?"

Amongst Yue Zhong's troops, there were the Scum battalion and Women Battalion, which didn't exist prior to the apocalypse . Other than those, there were even slaves . Many of these slaves were the family members of those Vietnamese who had engaged in a crazy slaughter of the Chinese .

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Jianguang and responded: "They are the family members of the traitors and Vietnamese who slaughtered the Chinese . You should be clear on this . "

Chen Jianguang stared at Yue Zhong and asked in a righteous tone: "Those traitors and Vietnamese that engaged in slaughter were guilty beyond doubt . You can kill them or send them to the Scum Battalion, I have no issues with that . However, their family members are innocent! Aren't your measures too much?!"

Chen Jianguang had always been an upright soldier, even though Yue Zhong was the ruler of the town now, and could easily order his death, he did not hesitate to berate Yue Zhong according to his principles .

Yue Zhong looked at Chen Jianguang coldly and unmoving: "Innocent? When those traitors wanted to betray, why didn't their families advise against it? When those Vietnamese wanted to engage in slaughter, why didn't their families discourage them? If they were to succeed in a revolt, everything of mine would fall into their hands, and their family members would get to enjoy their success as well . As for those Vietnamese, didn't the families enjoy whatever they stole from us Chinese?"

Yue Zhong eyed Chen Jianguang and continued indifferently: "If you're that righteous, go bring your brothers and take a tour around Vietnam! There are countless numbers of Chinese awaiting your saving . "

If these soldiers could integrate into his troops, it would be the best case scenario . However, as they had helped train up a new batch of soldiers, even if they wanted to leave, Yue Zhong would not force them to stay .

Chen Jianguang was also a quick-tempered man, without saying anymore, he turned around and said: "Fine! I'll bring my men away!

Yue Zhong watched Chen Jianguang's retreating figure, and sighed as he shook his head lightly . He truly was a righteous and moral man, however, it was not the right era for his ideals, and furthermore, it was in conflict with Yue Zhong .

Ming Jiajia who was standing beside Yue Zhong flashed a cold glare as she asked: "Shall I take care of him?"

With Ming Jiajia's current power, as long as she summoned her Shadow Wolf out, she could easily kill a normal person like Chen Jianguang silently .

Yue Zhong lightly sighed " No, it's not necessary! As long as he isn't an enemy, we don't have to silence him . Such a righteous man, the more such characters exist, the better it is for the world . It's just that he has differing views from us . "

Yue Zhong was someone who did not mind any means to achieve his goals, and lived by "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" . However, he didn't dislike those with righteousness nor morals . As long as they did not hinder his goals of course . Otherwise, he wouldn't treat them any better than others .

Ming Jiajia looked at Yue Zhong with a somewhat understanding expression, as she pouted and kneeled in front of Yue Zhong, and started massaging his legs carefully .

When Chen Jianguang reached his camp, he immediately gathered the rest and said: "Let's leave!"

Upon hearing Chen Jianguang's words, the entire group of military personnel went into uproar, as a whole load of chattering and voices resounded .

One of the platoon commanders Zhang Zhi looked to Chen Jianguang and questioned: "Old Chen, what happened? Did Yue Zhong chase us out?"

Chen Jianguang replied extremely honestly:" No, he didn't! He asked me over today, and it was to ask if we wanted to stay or leave . The moment we stay, we will have to listen and obey his orders, and become his troops! If we want to leave, he would not stop us, and he would give each and every one of us 5 days worth of rations, 5 Type 81 rifles, and 100 bullets . "

One of the soldiers immediately quipped: "Commander! Then why are we leaving? Yue Zhong is not like Chen Liang that bastard, and he has not mistreated the people of Long Teng Town . Here, as long as people are willing to work, they get a decent meal . We ourselves get to eat our fill and there's even meat and vegetables . If we have to leave, where will we go?"

"Yea!!"

Some of the other soldiers also called out disgruntledly . Under Yue Zhong's command, while training was in fact tougher than before, they got their fair share of meat and rations, of which the meat was even from a Type 2 Mutant Beast, which nourished their bodies . They had an incomparable physique now, and many were unwilling to leave .

Chen Jianguang's face turned ugly as he hollered: "What's the noise for? Just a little bit of meat and rations can buy you guys over? You must remember, you are soldiers of this country . Did you not see those slaves? He actually reintroduced the slave system, which is immoral! He would be tarnished in history as a warmonger, and are you guys going to join him in his offence?"

When Chen Jianguang lost his temper, all the soldiers quietened down . Chen Jianguang was an upright and moral man, and had decent standing amongst his fellow men here .

Zhang Zhi kept silent for a while, before lifting his head and said: "Old Chen! If you want to leave, then leave by yourself! I will not leave! I want to stay here . The purpose of the army, is to protect the citizens . As the citizens are here, the army should be here . I want to stay on to protect the people of Long Teng Town . As long as Yue Zhong does not harm the interests of the inhabitants of Long Teng Town, I will listen to his commands . "

Chen Jianguang stared at Zhang Zhi for quite a while, before sighing and said: "Fine! Those who wants to leave with me come! Those who would like to stay go over to Commander Zhang's side!"

Many of the soldiers hesitated and contemplated for a long while, before finally coming to a decision . A good number of them went over to Zhang Zhi's side, while only 6 started towards Chen Jianguang . In the middle of their walk, 2 of them faltered, and came over to Zhang Zhi's side .

In this new world, there were still countless ordinary people . And these soldiers also wanted to live ordinary and peaceful days . Compared to going with Chen Jianguang on an unknown journey to an unknown destination, many of them would rather stay here . After all, Yue Zhong was Chinese, and these soldiers had no issues working for him .

Chen Jianguang swept his gaze around the camp, and let out a slow sigh, as he brought the 4 soldiers and left without turning back .

Zhang Zhi looked at the back of Chen Jianguang silently, and executed a military salute .

Not long after Chen Jianguang left, Yue Zhong walked into the camp with big strides, and gazed at the 100 odd soldiers still standing there, as he chuckled and said: "So you guys have decided to stay?"

Zhang Zhi looked at Yue Zhong, his eyes flashed with a resolute gaze as he said: "Yes! Leader! We're willing to work hard for you!"

"We're willing to work hard for leader!!"

In the camp, their uniform voices rang loud and clear, those who had decided to stay had steeled their hearts in preparation to serve Yue Zhong .

Yue Zhong smiled at Zhang Zhi: "Good! Zhang Zhi! From now on, you're the Vice-Commander of my 1st Battalion! Work hard!"

Zhang Zhi's heart leapt with joy: "Yes Leader!"

Yue Zhong had established 2 battalions of soldiers, one of which labelled as the 1st Battalion, directly under his control . All sorts of equipment, manpower, and resources would be prioritized on the 1st Battalion as well .

The commander of the 1st Battalion was currently Wei Ningguo, and although he was a poor commander, he had followed Yue Zhong the earliest, and was loyal to a fault, other than his combat prowess, everything was basically a mess . However, he listened to everybody, and that was a superb quality . With such a person as the commander, the vice-commander would be the person truly calling the shots, hence Zhang Zhi was extremely happy . He had risen to become an official, and fulfilled his dream that was impossible before the apocalypse!

Chapter 359 – Assault on Jingxi Province

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

The departure of Chen Jianguang did not cause any particular waves in Long Teng Town.

Yue Zhong also dispatched those soldiers from the Border Security Forces to become the core group of the 2 battalions, enhancing the combat ability of both battalions.

After reorganizing these, Yue Zhong then arranged for Wei Ningguo and Wu Yin to lead the 2 battalions separately and bash the zombies gathered around the vicinity of Jingxi Province.

Ming Jiajia, Zheng Minghe and a few other Enhancers also joined in the operations, putting in effort to wipe out the zombies in the nearby villages, and rescuing any survivors that were hiding within. They even managed to obtain a huge amount of resources and gathered them in Long Teng Town.

At the same time, Yue Zhong commanded Lightning and its little brothers to clean up the other villages that were not under the jurisdiction of the 2 battalions. The scattered zombies posed little threat to Yue Zhong, but if they were to gather into a horde, it would become a problem.

Yue Zhong himself was sitting within Long Teng Town and maintaining order and security within the newly established Police Force. With his presence, even an entire company of proper troops would find it tough to attack Long Teng Town.

The 2 battalions initially set out to attack in turns, as they swapped each other during their assaults on the neighbouring towns. After a few days, and the increase in experience, they split up, and changed to the tactic of using companies to take turns attacking. The effectiveness and speed at which they were clearing the towns hence sped up.

In the process of cleansing the towns of zombies, there were countless Tang Replica Swords dropping from the zombies. Adding on to the initial amount of 20 Tang Replica Swords from Long Teng Town, it allowed for a small group of Enhancers to be trained up, and they were even expanding.

Under that kind of intense battle training, the scums within the Scum Battalion were whittled away, some dying from their injuries. Even the elite soldiers from the 2 battalions suffered some losses during the cleansing, with a death count of 17 soldiers.

However, in that 20 days of constant recovering of towns, Yue Zhong had rescued a total of 90 or more survivors, which bolstered his strength, and the total number of people under him grew to a staggering 5,000-plus figure.

"Leader! That is Jingxi Province!!" Inside a jeep, Zhang Zhi pointed at the province at a distance to Yue Zhong.

Around the jeep, there were soldiers all around, dressed in blue military uniforms and carrying guns on their backs. After 20 days of constant fighting, they were starting to be transformed by the battles and were showing fierce auras and the bearings of an elite troop.

After the 20 days of forging his troops, he then gathered them all, and decided to conduct an all-out assault on Jingxi Province. Within it, there were huge amounts of rations, resources, and firearms. After obtaining this Province, they could gain another stronghold and obtain some precious resources.

"The day has turned cold!!" Yue Zhong eyed Jingxi Province, as he reached his hand out of the window, and could feel the air turning cold.

Zhang Zhi sighed as well: "Yea! Seems like this year's winter is about to arrive early, and the temperature seems to be lower."

Having stood guard at the border for over 3 years, Zhang Zhi was clear that the winter was indeed coming early, and the coldness seemed to be harsher. In the previous years, the temperature was still about 20C around this period, but this year, it had already dropped to 13, 14C.

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with trepidation, there were countless Mutant Beasts and zombies in this new world, and if this winter was to become colder, alot of survivors would definitely suffer. Other than that, the harsh cold might bring about other unforeseen changes. To Yue Zhong, it was still unclear if it was a blessing or curse.

Yue Zhong's eyes then turned resolute, as he abandoned all random thoughts, and stared fixedly at Jingxi Province: "Fuck it! I can only take one step at a time! I must definitely conquer this Jingxi Province!"

Yue Zhong had immediately set up camp and ordered fortifications to be carried out the moment they reached near Jingxi Province. Earlier, he had sent Wu Yin out to conduct reconnaissance, and discovered that there should be a Z-Type within the province. The fact that there were almost a few tens of thousands of zombies within it points to that conclusion.

"Let's move! Follow me!" Yue Zhong called out to a platoon of soldiers behind him decked in Type 2 Mutant Crocodile hide and wielding Tang Replica Swords.

"Yes! Leader!!" The platoon saw Yue Zhong leading them personally on the frontlines and their hearts were filled with confidence and passion, as they replied loudly.

Yue Zhong brought Ming Jiajia with him as well as the platoon as they made their way towards Jingxi Province.

The moment they entered, White Bones charged forwards, and swung its axe towards the zombies near the entrance, cutting them down like a tornado.

Ming Jiajia had summoned out 5 Shadow Wolves, and they weaved in and out amongst the zombies, killing the zombies with a single bite to the neck. Ming Jiajia had also experienced constant battling this past 20 days, and had grown to reach Level 20, her [Summon Shadow Wolves] ability had also been enhanced twice. The wolves were now more ferocious, and the number she could keep summoned at once had increased.

The platoon was split into 4-man teams, covering one another, as they waved their Tang Replica Swords to and fro, slaughtering the zombies.

Yue Zhong held his 2m-long Dark Tooth Blade and casually swung his weapon in a sweeping arc, instantly slicing through a few S2s, L2s and several unlucky normal zombies along with them.

The zombies within the province town suddenly faced such an intense assault, and soon, more than a few hundred of the zombies had been wiped out, leaving behind only a few hundred Survivor Coins and 3 white treasure boxes.

Yue Zhong opened up the 3 boxes, and gained only an ordinary Tang Replica Sword.

When those hundreds of zombies were slaughtered, it alarmed the Z-Type hiding within the other zombies. Under its frantic control, the tens of thousands of zombies lumbering around started to gather, as they made their way towards Yue Zhong's troops like waters of a flood.

Yue Zhong led the platoon of soldiers to slaughter the zombies coming from all sides continuously, any zombies that neared him would immediately be sliced in two. Countless zombies were sliced apart. He was like a huge boulder that fell into the midst of the flow of zombies, easily breaking them apart.

The moment the zombies gathered, the soldiers with the Type 2 Mutant Crocodile hide started to feel increasingly tired, and they gathered near Yue Zhong, defending his sides, leaving him to deal with enemies from the front.

More zombies were starting to launch their attacks, but the moment they came within distance of Yue Zhong's reach, they would be sliced apart, as their bones and meat fell onto the floor randomly, like splattered tofu.

The number of zombies was simply too much, and regardless of how fearsome Yue Zhong's combat ability was, under the pressure of the zombies, they had to retreat. If he forcefully remained where he was, they might be buried under the constant surge of zombies.

With Yue Zhong covering them, the platoon of soldiers also retreated. It was here that the results of their constant training and battle experience showed their worth. If it were normal soldiers, facing the impending assault from the zombies, they might have lost their morale and collapsed, but for this group, they stuck close to Yue Zhong, and exhibited an united and strong front.

Yue Zhong's retreat wasn't too slow, and the slow zombies basically could not catch up. However, all of a sudden, the horde split apart, and a few green shadows charged out from within, launching an assault on the small team.

These green shadows were S2s, and in a few moments, over 200 S2s charged out from within the horde as they lunged towards Yue Zhong.

"Follow closely! Swap to your guns!" Yue Zhong eyed the S2s and issued an order.

The force of 200 S2s was no joke. The strongest Enhancer within the platoon now was only a Level 13, facing these S2s bordering on Level 30, they would only be defeated.

Hearing Yue Zhong's orders, the 30 Enhancers took out their AKs, and started firing wildly at the incoming S2s.

White Bones shot out 5 bone blades as it twirled around, slicing off the heads of 5 S2s easily. Yue Zhong pulled out a .03 rifle, and as he retreated, he fired the gun rapidly. His mental acuity, vision, reasoning and reflexes were all far greater than the majority of normal humans, allowing an uninterrupted stream of headshots.

As Yue Zhong's gun vibrated nonstop, the S2s would find their heads blasted apart, and their lifeless bodies crumpling to the ground. In just a second or two, he had killed 5 S2s!

The speed of the S2s looked to be like spectres to normal humans, but to Yue Zhong with his own insane Agility, he could grasp their movements easily, and take them down. This was the benefit of having a high Agility, if one's Agility was lesser than an S2, then it would be almost too hard to track their movements.

"Leader is amazing!!" The platoon watched Yue Zhong take out 5 S2s in a second, and they all sucked in a cold breath, their hearts filled with awe and respect. Their accuracy was low and hit air a few times, so although they did manage to hit a few of the S2s, it wasn't enough to cause any life-threatening damages.

Ming Jiajia had also controlled her Shadow Wolves to leap out from the shadows and lunge at the S2s, biting off their necks.

After enhancing twice, in addition to Ming Jiajia's high Spirit, the Shadow Wolves were enough to take on the S2s. However, as the number of S2s was simply too many, after the 5 Shadow Wolves killed 5 S2s, they were immediately broken apart by the surrounding S2s, as they turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared. Ming Jiajia gained 3 levels from killing the 5 S2s.

With an Agility 11 times that of normal humans, Yue Zhong was simply too overbearing, not only were his shots accurate, he could fire 5 shots every second. On the other end, White Bones was tearing its way amongst the zombie horde, its 5 bone blades slashing about violently, chopping up numerous S2s. With the combination of these 2, the 200 S2s were annihilated even before they got close to the troops!

Chapter 360 – Conquering Jingxi Province

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

After taking care of the 200 some S2s, Yue Zhong and White Bones led the platoon back to the campsite without any troubles, and in all they had suffered virtually no losses.

"Three cheers for the Leader! Long live leader!!"

"Long live leader!! Long live leader!!"

When Yue Zhong led his men back to the site, joyful cheers and celebrations resounded as the morale of the soldiers reached an all time high. Their leader was fearless, and this naturally gave rise to a sense of strength.

When the soldiers reached the camp, they immediately handed their Tang Replica Swords over to another platoon full of soldiers donning the Type 3 Snake Skin, and changed their rifles. As Enhancers, Yue Zhong had stressed the importance of training both close-quarter combat as well as ranged tactics, and while their firearm control could not compare to Yue Zhong who had been forged through countless battles, their own abilities were rising rapidly.

Seeing the slowly nearing horde, all the soldiers felt their blood stir, none of them feeling a tinge of fear. The display by Yue Zhong had thoroughly filled these soldiers with a sense of battle lust.

When Yue Zhong reached the campsite, he took up a .03 rifle and started to fire at the lumbering zombies. Each time he rapidly moved his hands, 5 shots would be fired, and 5 zombies would be pierced through their heads, slumping to the ground. Not a single shot was wasted.

On the other side, Wu Yin eyed Yue Zhong and followed suit, taking up a .03 rifle and aimed at 3 zombies before firing at each. After 3 gunshots rang out, only 1 had its head blasted by the shot, while the other 2 suffered hits to their bodies, and even fell to the ground, they did not die.

"Truly difficult! As expected, only Leader can carry it out!" After this, Wu Yin discovered that executing 5 headshots consecutively in 3 seconds was tougher than he imagined. His heart was filled with respect for Yue Zhong. Even though he had evolved into an Agility-based Evolver, he still felt the immeasurable gap between him and Yue Zhong.

Within the campsite, gunshots started to resound, and the gunmen of the troops were engaging the zombies. Although Yue Zhong had obtained 3 battalions worth of firepower, the amount of ammunition they had to spare was still tight. Hence, in every battle, he would try to get his troops to engage in close-quarter combat as much as possible. On one hand, it could help enhance their strength, on the other, it helped save bullets.

Under that relentless assault, numerous zombies were taken out, and the ground was soon littered with corpses. However, Yue Zhong and the sharpshooters could do nothing to impede the advance of the horde, they could only slow down the movement of the zombies.

The moment the horde moved, they would become an unstoppable force of death. This was their scariest point. Regardless of any injuries, they would not be afraid or daunted, and in this aspect, they were undoubtedly better than humans.

With the onslaught of the huge horde, the soldiers started to feel nervous. Although they had killed a large number of them, facing this sea of never-ending zombies, they would still feel anxious and fearful. However, Yue Zhong was still at the forefront, fighting off the zombies like an undefeatable wargod, resolutely hunting the zombies. Seeing that, the troops felt their morale bolstered once again.

As Yue Zhong stood there by himself, he was like an immovable mountain while firing at the zombies non-stop. Every shot fired would find its mark in a zombie's head. Every second, there would be a zombie slumping to the ground, before being ground to paste by the relentless zombies behind. Such a strong person quickly attracted the attention of the Z-Type behind.

The horde of zombies suddenly made a movement, as they split apart, and from afar, there were 30 H1s that could be seen.

A huge sense of crisis welled up in Yue Zhong's heart, as the 30 H1s had the means to threaten him. His eyes flashed coldly, and raised his hands at the H1s, before a huge tornado of Devil Flame erupted, and was sent howling towards the zombie horde, blowing towards the group of H1s.

Under that fiery tornado, all the H1s and ordinary zombies were sucked into it and incinerated almost instantly.

In that one move, Yue Zhong had annihilated 200-over zombies, leaving only a charred black trail of destruction. That single move was incredibly powerful, but had expended 50 points of his Spirit and 10 points of Stamina. Based on his constitution, he could at most cast it another 3 times.

"Victory!!"

"Victory!!"

When those soldiers saw Yue Zhong wiping out almost 300 zombies in one move, they were incredibly excited, and shouted in delight and their morale reached a peak. With such a strong person as their leader, they were confident in dealing with any enemy.

Yue Zhong immediately switched to his .03 rifle after using that move, and returned to picking off the ordinary zombies through headshots. If it wasn't for the fact he needed to deal with the 30 H1s urgently, he wouldn't have used such a taxing move. The stronger the move, the higher the expenditure, and with his stats, using a gun to kill 200 zombies would at most expend 10 Spirit and 5 Stamina points. If he slowed down his rate of shooting, he would kill even more zombies over a longer period of time, and expended less energy.

The 300 that were exterminated were just part of a drizzle of the downpour that was the horde. The backup pretty soon filled in the ranks, and once again, resumed their advance towards Yue Zhong.

This was the strong point of the horde, and regardless of the strength of any individual Enhancer, as long as they were alone, facing a horde would mean certain death. It was only a matter of time.

"Open fire!" Yue Zhong looked at the nearing horde, and ordered loudly.

In that instant, the sharpshooters at the frontline of defence immediately started firing wildly at the incoming zombies.

Under that hail of golden rain, a large number of zombies were instantly felled, like the wheat crops when farmed with a sickle.

However, as those zombies felled, there would be many who crawled up again. The fortunate thing was that the rain of bullets was powerful enough to stop them for awhile, and the huge horde could not proceed for that instant as though they were stuck in a lock.

"Disperse!!" After firing in a frenzy for a minute, Yue Zhong issued the next command. The ammunition he had left was not enough, and could not support the battle.

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's order, the soldiers started to climb up from their defence line, and retreated as they carried their ammunition.

Yue Zhong had ordered the construction of 5 defence lines, losing one wasn't anything much.

Losing the suppression of the bullets, countless zombies started to crawl up, as their rotting and stinking bodies reached for Yue Zhong.

"Charge!!" Yue Zhong ordered the platoon of soldiers wielding Tang Replica Swords, as he led the assault on the zombie horde.

While the zombies could still get up after that hail of metal, their formation was scattered, and clearly they were at their weakest.

"Kill!!!"

The platoon of soldiers howled out in fury, and followed Yue Zhong closely as they slaughtered their way out, slicing numerous zombies all around them. Those zombies that had barely gotten up could not resist the relentless assaults from these soldiers, and were mostly chopped in two.

Yue Zhong led the platoon of soldiers and killed over 600 zombies, before gathering again and preparing to retreat towards the back.

The horde continued to surge towards Yue Zhong.

In that intense and gruelling battle, Yue Zhong had abandoned 3 defence posts, and the zombies that had died under him and his troops have exceeded 6,000, but the horde still had over 24,000 zombies, looking as tightly-packed as ever.

After they retreated to the 5th defence post, Wei Ningguo came to Yue Zhong's side and handed him a remote control: "Leader, it's done."

Yue Zhong received it and immediately pressed it.

Hong!

Hong!!

In an instant, the surrounding areas of the 4 defence posts exploded out in a deafening roar, and ignited the fuel and combustible items laid around. They were instantly enveloped in a fiery blaze.

In that huge firestorm, a large part of the horde was instantly incinerated.

The horde also seemed to have some strange movement, as the zombies started to move towards the 2nd defence post.

The zombies at the 2nd defence post seemed to be making their way out of the fiery trap! Alas, they were surrounded by fire everywhere, regardless of which direction they tried to escape to, they would be swallowed by the flames.

The pungent smell from the burning wafted in all directions.

After burning for a while, the large horde suddenly collapsed, and the evolved types escaped in all directions. The rest of the ordinary zombies just stood blankly within the sea of fire, being burnt. These normal zombies would not have any reaction to being burned alive, as opposed to the evolved types with increased intelligence, and they naturally would not stay inside.

"The Z-Type inside is finally dead!!" Yue Zhong looked towards the sea of fire at a distance, and heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as the Z-Type was killed, then there would be nothing to fear about the tens of thousands of zombies. Yue Zhong could simply burn them all in one move.

The evolved types could not break through the fiery traps regardless of their struggle, and in the end they were all burnt as well. Even the L2s that could withstand bullets were turned into ash, before they could escape out of the fire, their brains had been fried.

The huge sea of flames burned for half a day before finally dying out. Throughout the 4 defence posts, there were many burnt corpses, stretching for miles.

"Enter the town!" Yue Zhong looked at Jingxi Province and commanded.

"Enter the town!!" Zhang Zhi called out excitedly. He had not expected that the province that was swarmed with zombies had been taken down so easily, without a single death on their side.

"Victory!!"

"Victory!!"

The soldiers who had been through such a long intense battle cheered out loudly, and started marching towards Jingxi Province. They had conquered an entire city! This was extremely exhilarating!

Chapter 361 – 12 Tanks!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

The moment the troops entered the city, they began to search for survivors, and meticulously combed and cleared the remaining zombies within the city. While the majority of the zombies might have been summoned away from the city by the Z-Type earlier, there could be some who were stuck within the confines of their homes, unable to leave even if they wanted to. These were the targets of the soldiers.

Yue Zhong walked within the province city in huge strides, with White Bones and Ming Jiajia following him. He was the strongest person within the troops, and was equivalent to an entire company of elite soldiers, hence he didn't need any protection.

Unless there were a few experts from the Wolf Fang Battalion, or some people from the Jingxi Province city that might be lying in ambush, killing Yue Zhong was going to be extremely tough in any sense of the idea. He was not some Enhancer that had just recently gotten strength after all, he had already grown to be a terrifying existence.

Zhang Zhi came running to Yue Zhong's side in excitement and spoke out: "Leader!! I've remembered something, there's an army camp here in the city, and there was a border regiment stationed here!!"

When Yue Zhong heard that, he also grew excited: "What!! Border regiment? That's great!!"

Yue Zhong had expended a few tonnes of fuel in this battle, as well as ammunition and firearms. If he could obtain the equipment and resources of this border regiment, then he would replenish his stock and further increase the strength of his troops.

A military jeep then came to a stop beside Yue Zhong, as they all boarded and Zhang Zhi led them towards the direction of the camp.

Zhang Zhi had an apologetic face: "Leader! I apologize for my memory, and did not remember the place soon. Do forgive me!"

Zhang Zhi was after all a platoon commander, and was considered an army official. Most border troops would be stationed at their own posts and seldom rotate about. Zhang Zhi had come into the province city before for a meeting, but due to his nature, he had almost forgotten about it until after Yue Zhong had conquered the province.

Yue Zhong chuckled, as he reassured him: "No problem! It's great that you remembered!"

Once he obtained those equipment, Yue Zhong intended to expand his army. Out of the 5,000 survivors under him, the army consisted of 1,000 of those people. If it were before the apocalypse, with such a huge force, governments would be strapped for cash.

However, this was the post-apocalyptic world, there were resources everywhere. As long as one could conquer a city, they could gain a lot of rewards. Furthermore, now that food could not be grown or farmed, only by constantly raiding other cities, could a power maintain its strength and existence. Otherwise, rations would run out.

As they travelled, Zhang Zhi brought a platoon of soldiers together with Yue Zhong as they stopped before a military camp on the outskirts of the city.

Yue Zhong walked directly towards the camp in huge strides.

The border military would at most have a thousand men, and based on Yue Zhong's current strength, killing a 1,000 zombies was not a problem.

Yue Zhong walked into the camp, and immediately discovered a few zombies decked in military uniform lumbering around. When they heard the sounds of Yue Zhong's footsteps, and smelled his scent, they lunged towards him in a frenzy.

"Take care of them!" Yue Zhong eyed the zombies coolly and ordered.

The platoon of soldiers stepped out, wielding their Tang Replica Swords, and under the lead of White Bones, they charged towards the group of zombies. They sliced through the zombies as easily as cutting cake, slaughtering them.

Another 2 platoons took up their arms, and started firing at another bunch of zombies in the distance. This was a good chance to train their Marksmanship skills.

Ming Jiajia also summoned out her Shadow Wolves, which pounced over and outo the zombies biting their heads off.

All of a sudden, from amidst the group of zombies, 10 S2s jumped out like spectres and immediately lunged for the platoon of soldiers with the Tang Replica Swords.

Yue Zhong had been sitting and observing the surroundings, so the moment those S2s appeared, he immediately waved his hands, and conjured 10 Devil Flame balls immediately which exploded on the heads of the S2s, incinerating them.

The L2 had also just made their appearance when they were immediately wiped out by Yue Zhong.

There were no Z-Type inside the group, hence they could not coordinate, and instead, acting on instinct and was easily slaughtered by the humans who had higher intellect.

After wiping out the zombie group, Yue Zhong casually opened up 4 treasure boxes, and received 2 Tang Replica Blades. He threw them to Ming Jiajia, as he ventured deeper into the camp.

"Ah! There seems to be living people here!!"

Yue Zhong walked for awhile, before he frowned and looked at the ground. He discovered that the ground was littered with a few zombie corpses, leading towards a storehouse in the distance. It was obvious that when the apocalypse happened, there was someone who managed to sneak in.

Yue Zhong came to the front of the warehouse, and ordered White Bones: "Slice it open!!"

White Bones waved its huge axe and swung it viciously on the door of the storehouse. With a huge grating sound of metal on metal following that vicious strike, an enormous hole was carved out in that door.

In just a few swings, the metal door of the storehouse was chopped apart by White Bones.

"Don't move!! Otherwise, I'll open fire!!" Right as White Bones pushed the door inwards, there was a weak voice that travelled out from within the storehouse.

Yue Zhong frowned slightly, and ordered White Bones: "Go disarm those inside! Take care not to injure them!"

White Bones' fiery demonic eyes flashed in response, as it swiftly charged into the storehouse.

A few bellows of rage resounded from within the storehouse, followed by a few gunshots, after which, silence ensued.

Only then did Yue Zhong bring Ming Jiajia into the storehouse.

Inside the storehouse, there were 12 men decked in military uniform, their faces unkempt and bodies emitting a foul sour stench, as they stared at Yue Zhong and Ming Jiajia warily. There were piles of canned meat and biscuits as well as plain water at one corner of the storehouse. It was obvious that this group of soldiers had managed to survive with those rations.

One of the soldiers with a bearing of an officer eyed Yue Zhong and asked slowly: "Who're you?"

"My name's Yue Zhong, I'm the one saving you! Who're you guys?" Yue Zhong replied.

The officer pondered silently for awhile, before becoming slightly red-eyed as he said: "I'm Kong Ziming! The Officer Commander of the Armored Company XX Regiment of the Border Guards! These are my men. What's going on out there, what has happened?"

Kong Ziming had initially witnessed his comrades turning into abominations and biting one another, causing many of his friends and co-workers to be bitten till they lacked any resemblance of a human. Even then, those dead friends suddenly arose from the dead and it seemed something out of a horror movie. If it wasn't for his quick thinking and bringing some men he could save into the storehouse, they would have died in the initial onset of the apocalypse.

Yue Zhong sighed and shook his head: "I'm unsure!! However, since you have survived, you must have heard that voice as well. This must be the mischief of a God!"

Kong Ziming gaped: "Is there really a god?"

Many people in the current society were considered atheists, but with such a huge shift in the world and its laws, everyone was clear that there was definitely a higher power.

Yue Zhong did not concern himself too much with that line of thought, instead he directly asked: "Kong Ziming! I have saved you guys! What are your plans from now on? Are you to join me, or will you leave?"

The problem of a divine being was too far for Yue Zhong to take into considerations, instead he was pragmatic and considered the current issue.

When Kong Ziming heard that, he regained his senses and directly responded with his own question: "Did you kill those zombies here?"

Yue Zhong replied with a direct statement: "Mm! They were killed by me! Oh right, Yanjing has been overrun, the military and central government do not exist anymore. It's up to ourselves."

If the central government and military were still around, many military personnel would definitely heed the call of the government. Wanting to integrate them into one's own power would be tough.

Kong Ziming was bewildered: "Yanjing's overrun?!"

Without the directions and orders of the military or central government, it was natural for Kong Ziming to feel lost.

Kong Ziming thought for awhile before saying: "I would like to take a look before making a decision, is that ok?"

Kong Ziming was not sure what the outside world had become. He was unwilling to bring his subordinates to serve an unknown guy like Yue Zhong without fully understanding what he was like.

Yue Zhong replied light-heartedly: "Of course! However, you guys will still have to help me train up a platoon of tank operators. As long as you guys do that, you're free to leave whenever you want."

Yue Zhong valued the technical expertise and experience of these seasoned soldiers, as long as they could train up a platoon of tank drivers, even if they left, he wouldn't mind.

Kong Ziming heaved a sigh of relief and nodded: "Sure!"

Zhang Zhi had just rushed over, and called out excitedly to Yue Zhong: "Leader!! Leader! This time, we've struck gold! There're tanks!! 12 tanks!! With these, we can establish our own tank platoon!!"

Tanks were considered the kings of the battlefield after all, with 12 tanks, if they could be driven then they could drive and crush their way through a zombie horde. They were simply killing machines. Zhang Zhi was naturally exhilarated! If the 1st Battalion could have an Armored Company, then its prowess would naturally be above the 2nd Battalion.

Kong Mingzi looked at the blubbering Zhang Zhi, as he hesitated and quipped: "You're Zhang Zhi??"

Zhang Zhi faltered, taking a look at Kong Mingzi and asked: "Who're you?"

"Kong Mingzi!!" Kong Mingzi responded.

Zhang Zhi was shocked: "Commander Kong!!"

TN: My name is Kong. King Kong.

Chapter 362 – Raid!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Kong Mingzi and Zhang Zhi were old comrades that had not met and talked for some time, hence they naturally burst into an exchange. Yue Zhong did not disrupt them and left quietly, walking outside.

Yue Zhong had just exited the storehouse when he discovered intense gunshots from afar. His face fell and he instantly rushed towards the direction of the commotion.

At the entrance of the camp, there was a gunfight happening, as a group of militants dressed in an assortment of motley clothing were currently attacking the camp in a frenzy.

The militants however, did not make any move to charge into the camp, instead opting to hide behind cover whilst firing at the soldiers within the camp.

Countless bullets flew, yet the casualties on both sides were minimal.

"People inside, listen up!! We are from the government of Tianxin Province!! The weapons and equipment inside are properties of the country! Other than the government, no one else can use it! Quickly surrender and we can close an eye to all past transgressions!!"

Yue Zhong had arrived at the entrance by then and heard the mind games from the militants.

When the soldiers heard the cries of those militants, they started to hesitate. If it were zombies or the Vietnamese, they would not hesitate to take them out. However, if they were to act against government officials, they could not bring themselves to do it. After all, they were working for the government prior.

However, the majority of the soldiers were survivors that Yue Zhong had rescued in Vietnam, and they only acknowledged Yue Zhong and no one else. None of them had any reservations about firing at these militants!

Yue Zhong's eyes turned cold and he called out loudly: "I'm Yue Zhong! I order you to immediately put down your weapons and kneel to receive your punishments! Otherwise, I'll spare no one!"

The loud one amongst the militants immediately responded: "Yue Zhong, is it? The weapons inside belong to the country! As long as you hand them over to the government, we will compensate you with resources and medals!! If you want to continue resisting, then it's tantamount to going against the country, the government and the people! You'll be labelled as traitors! You'll receive the admonishments of the people!!"

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and ordered White Bones: "Kill them!"

In this kind of situation, regardless if those militants were really from the government, Yue Zhong could not care less. As long as they were attacking him, they were enemies.

Upon receiving the command, White Bones' demonic fiery eyes flashed, and in a single leap, it charged out towards the exterior like a bolt of lightning.

Ming Jiajia standing by Yue Zhong's side also summoned her Shadow Wolf, as it melded into the shadows of White Bones, following its charge out.

When White Bones emerged from the camp, those militants turned their fire towards it, and the bullets only served to ricochet off its armor, not impeding its charge in the slightest manner.

White Bones possessed a speed that was 5 times that of a normal person, and in launching itself, it managed to charge through a point of cover, and chop down viciously. In that swing of its axe, a man immediately lost his head, as fresh blood splattered onto White Bones' body.

After killing one of the militant men in a single swing, 4 sharp bone spikes emerged from White Bones' shoulder. Suddenly, they shot towards 4 other vantage points, and pierced through 4 of the militants, before pulling them towards it in a single file of struggling bodies. White Bones then swung its axe and immediately sliced them in two, causing fresh blood to flow out from their bottomless bodies!! It was truly a terrifying scene.

"Ahh!!!"

"Ahhh!!"

The 4 militants did not die at the first instant, instead they rolled around screaming and moaning in agony. It had thoroughly shaken the morale of the other militants.

"That's an Enhancer!!"

"A high-level Enhancer? Too fearsome!! It's like a demon!!"

When they saw their comrades slaughtered so easily, the remaining militants felt their hearts tremble, as they lost all sense of their fighting will.

White Bones then charged towards the hiding place of the rest of the militants in a furious manner.

The militants immediately collapsed and tried to escape when they saw White Bones charging at them.

Yue Zhong's gaze frost over, as he held up his .03 rifle, and fired a few bullets, instantly killing those escaping militants with headshots! As long as it was an enemy, Yue Zhong would not hesitate to wipe them out, regardless of their background.

"Beast! Don't go overboard!! You think only you're a high-level Enhancer?" Following a bellow of rage, 6 Enhancers decked in assorted clothings jumped out from nowhere.

One of them was a burly man, wielding a huge hammer and giant steel shield, he was obviously a Strength-based Enhancer. Another was wielding a 2m-long mace single-handedly. 2 others held daggers in their hands, and their speed was even higher than White Bones when they charged out, it could be seen that they were Agility-based Enhancers.

Strength and Agility-based Enhancers were the most commonly seen experts. Other than those 4, there was a scrawny man with his hands wide opened, and a transparent barrier blocking in front of them, preventing any stray bullets from hitting them.

Finally, there was a young man with glasses as he stood amongst the rest and gazed at Yue Zhong coldly.

"The Heavenly Kings have made their move!!"

"This time, that Enhancer is dead meat!! The 6 Heavenly Kings are about to take action, he will definitely die!!"

When they saw the appearance of the 6 Enhancers, the remaining militants who had lost all their morale immediately regained some sense of confidence, as they shouted loudly.

Yue Zhong flipped his hand, and a PF98 appeared within his hands, as he aimed quickly and fired a shot at the 6 Enhancers.

With a flash, the rocket shot forwards and exploded on the transparent barrier with a loud boom! Under the flaming explosion, the barrier was shattered into pieces. The Enhancer with the [Barrier] skill suffered the backlash as he spat out a mouthful of blood and crumpled to the ground.

"He just used a rocket launcher!!" The young man in glasses immediately had a change in expression, as he shouted out in shock and dove for cover.

Losing the protection of the barrier, the remaining 4 Enhancers were immediately hit with the bullets as they tried to escape behind cover as well. Since they were wearing high-level Mutant Beasts hide, as long as they did not reveal their heads, it would be hard to take them out.

Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed, as he stared at one of the Agility-based Enhancers and activated his [Art of Fear, as an oppressive spiritual blast that assaulted the mind of the targeted Enhancer. His eyes flashed with fear, as he was overcome by the horrendous images, and he fainted immediately.

"He's difficult to handle!! We have to escape!!!" The young man in glasses said in a low voice. He had vastly underestimated this troop of soldiers as well as Yue Zhong. In their original plan, the 6 of them coupled with their 200 soldiers were enough to take down the camp, however, with the appearance of Yue Zhong, their plans had come to naught.

The Enhancer wielding the mace pointed to White Bones that was slaughtering the militants and said: "Jiang Ming!! Hurry and retreat! Our brothers will be killed by that freak soon!!"

Without anyone stopping it, White Bones could easily slaughter the 200 some militants. It had followed Yue Zhong from his very first battle, and possessed terrifying combat strength. Its bones were mostly impervious to guns and physical weapons, and normal people would find it impossible to even cause a wound.

Jiang Ming's face fell: "Shen Zhe! If we stay here, we would be annihilated!!"

"Let's scram!!" The other Agility-based Enhancer nodded and agreed. When the 1st Agility-based Enhancer had noiselessly slumped to the ground, his heart was filled with fear.

Without any hesitation, the remaining 4 Enhancers quickly turned and tried to escape towards the forest.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Yue Zhong laughed coldly when he saw the attempts of the 4 escaping Enhancers. Taking aim, he pulled out his Stinger, and swiftly fired 2 shots in the direction of the forest.

In that instant, the slower Strength-based Enhancers found their heads blasted apart, as their headless bodies slumped to the ground.

Yue Zhong then eyed the remaining Agility-based Enhancer and casted his [Art of Fear, causing the powerful Spiritual attack to overload the mind of that same Enhancer, as he fainted to the ground helplessly.

Within a few breaths, Yue Zhong had taken care of 3 of the Enhancers, and he shot forwards with his speed 11 times that of a normal person, reaching the remaining Enhancer Jiang Ming like an flying arrow!

In 4 seconds, Yue Zhong managed to chase up to Jiang Ming and had pulled out his Stinger, aiming at the latter.

Right as Yue Zhong had pulled out his gun, Jiang Ming raised his hands and kneeled immediately, shouting: "Don't kill me!! I surrender!!!"

Yue Zhong gazed at him coldly while waiting for him to calm down.

Jiang Ming shuddered involuntarily on the floor, his back almost slick with his perspiration, he could feel the cold murderous gaze of Yue Zhong like a ferocious beast locked on him. The moment he made any strange moves, he would be dead.

Yue Zhong barked out an order coldly: "Move!"

Jiang Ming stood up docilely, as he walked out of the forest. When he walked past the corpses of his 2 Strength-based comrades, he shivered, as he had almost faced the same fate.

When they came out into the clearing, he saw that the militants he had brought had surrendered their weapons, their hands hugging their heads, and were being watched by the troops of Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong then directly asked Jiang Ming: "Who are you people?"

The soldiers on Yue Zhong's side also looked towards Jiang Ming, especially the soldiers from the Border Guards, they wanted to know the background of these defeated militants.

Chapter 363 – Bei Mingyang

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he stared at Jiang Ming coldly: "If you dare lie, I'll kill you immediately!"

Jiang Ming's body shuddered as he started to reveal everything to Yue Zhong.

The bunch of militants were the survivors of Tianxin Province. Just 3 days ago, there was a man called Bei Mingyang who brought some people to conquer it. Bei Mingyang was also a capable person, unifying the surrounding powers and commanding over 20,000 people as well as 3,000 soldiers under him. Amongst the 3,000 soldiers, there was a company of Border Guards, their overall combat prowess was strong.

After he conquered Tianxin Province, a few survivors told Bei Mingyang about the situation and information regarding the nearby military camps. This was when the militants were dispatched over here to reclaim it. There were indeed a few government officials amongst those people that Bei Mingyang had under him, but they were just puppets.

Hearing that the current Tianxin Province wasn't governed by their previous employer, the border guard soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief.

"20,000 survivors and 3,000 soldiers?" When Yue Zhong heard Jiang Ming's words, he frowned and contemplated silently.

Yue Zhong suddenly asked: "Jiang Ming, if I want Bei Mingyang to come and submit to me, how confident are you of convincing him?"

Jiang Ming's eyes went wide, as he hesitated before replying with difficulty: "Leader Yue! These kind of words, I have no confidence at all."

Yue Zhong continued: "What kind of armored division does Bei Mingyang have?"

Jiang Ming's heart went cold, then he thought for awhile and responded: "I've seen a motorcycle group! A few gun-mounted vehicles, 8 IFVs, 20 cars with machine guns, 4 Red Arrows, and 4 Howitzers. Bei Mingyang had brought some men to open up a military camp before, and these were his spoils."

Yue Zhong frowned more, as he thought to himself before finally saying: "Fine! Go back! Tell Bei Mingyang, I would like to speak to him!"

Jiang Ming had an incredulous look: "You're letting me go?"

Yue Zhong glanced at him and replied: "Or would you like to stay here indefinitely? I can always send someone else!"

Jiang Ming hurriedly interjected:" No!! No!! I'll leave now! I'll leave now!!"

After which, Jiang Ming then swiftly turned and ran towards the distance, while he threw the fate of his fellow Enhancers to the back of his mind.

When Jiang Ming ran, Zhang Zhi and the rest reorganized the camp, and they transported the equipment into the heart of Jingxi Province.

In the lush office of the conference room in Tianxin Province.

A medium-built man, with energetic eyes, and an air of elegance between his brows looked at Jiang Ming. This man dressed in military wear was the current leader of Tianxin Province, Bei Mingyang.

"Yue Zhong wants to see me?" Bei Mingyang's eyes flashed with a mischievous light, as his index finger tapped the armrest it was on. He continued: "Jiang Ming! Do you know why he wants to see me?"

Jiang Ming hesitated a while, before hardening his skin and said: "Boss Bei, Yue Zhong wants you to surrender to him!!"

Jiang Ming's words instantly caused an uproar within the conference room.

One of the men within the room who looked tanned and short yet extremely muscular cursed out loud: "Damn it!! That Yue Zhong must have have knocked his head? He wants us to surrender to him? He should surrender to us that dumb shit!!"

"Boss Bei!! Send the troops to eliminate him!! Take his Jingxi Province!!"

"Boss Bei!! That Yue Zhong dared to kill our men, he sure is gutsy. Let me take some men to wipe him out!!"

In the meeting hall, almost everyone was calling for Yue Zhong's blood. Only Jiang Ming remained silent, after facing Yue Zhong, he was extremely clear on Yue Zhong's strength, and he felt that even if Bei Mingyang sent everyone, it would be impossible to win against a prepared Yue Zhong.

Bei Mingyang's eyebrows arched, as his face turned gloomy: "Silence!!"

The meeting hall instantly went quiet. Bei Mingyang held authority within this Tianxin Province after all, and was the one who had conquered it with his troops.

Bei Mingyang just sat there and stared at the silent, middle-aged man with a knife-scar on his face and asked: "Shang Lun! What do you think?"

This man was the only man within the entire camp to wield power other than Bei Mingyang, and was his right-hand man. Within Tianxin Province, his words carried weight as well.

Shang Lun's heart turned cold, as he looked around at the passionate people with the hall, as he hesitated for awhile, before saying softly: "I think there's nothing wrong with having a discussion with Yue Zhong."

While Shang Lun looked like a simpleton, he in fact, possessed high intelligence. Since Yue Zhong could conquer Jingxi Province, it meant that his power was not weak. He did not want to blindly call for his blood, only to be sent forth by Bei Mingyang, and in the end, expend his own force. In this post-apocalyptic world, only strength mattered, those without strength, would only suffer.

With those words, Bei Mingyang's brows arched even further, and his eyes flashed with unhappiness, but soon, it disappeared, and no one saw it.

A heavily-tattooed man with blond hair stood out and spoke out tauntingly: "Shang Lun! You must be frightened? If you're scared just say so!! What a useless piece of trash!"

Shang Lun responded with an equally challenging gait: "Gan Luowang! Since you're so good, why don't you take care of this problem!! You're just talking after all! If you have the balls, go bring some men to wipe Yue Zhong out! If you succeed, your father I will personally kowtow to you and admit my mistakes. If you don't dare, shut that smelly trap of yours and admit that in front of everybody now!"

Gan Luowang was the third strongest person that Bei Mingyang had groomed, and he was a powerful Agility-based Evolver, having reached a level of 37. Other than that, he had over 300 subordinates, and they were all thugs who dared to risk their lives.

Gan Luowang looked back with contempt and challenged: "Shang Lun! If your father I brought people to take down Yue Zhong, you'd kneel in front of your father I, is that right?"

Shang Lun responded with a cold stare: "That's right! If you don't dare to take your troops out to wipe Yue Zhong out! Then you have to admit to everyone present here you're a coward!!"

Gan Luowang immediately rose up to the challenge and jumped to his feet, shouting: "Good!! Your father I, will take my troops to go take Yue Zhong down now! Shang Lun, just wait to kneel in front of your father, I!!!"

Shang Lun laughed coldly: "Let's wait till you actually accomplished it!!"

"Just you wait!!" Gan Luowang threw a look at Shang Lun and immediately rushed out without waiting for Bei Mingyang to say a single word. He was afraid that Bei Mingyang would stop him, so he swiftly left, and disappeared from the meeting hall.

Bei Mingyang watched the scene with furrowed brows. Gan Luowang was a naturally awakened Evolver, and possessed immense combat ability. He was a genius, but he was too hasty and liked to do things his way, and this led Bei Mingyang to be frustrated at times.

Bei Mingyang then glanced at Shang Lun and said indifferently: "Shang Lun, Lao Hui!! Both of you go take your men to reinforce Gan Luowang!"

"Yes! Boss Bei!!" Shang Lun lightly sighed in his heart, as he replied in a low voice. He was satisfied that he had escaped being today's scapegoat. Bei Mingyang possessed the strongest hand in Tianxin Province, and as long as Shang Lun wasn't forced into a corner, he wasn't willing to disobey Bei Mingyang's orders.

"Yes! Boss Bei!!" The leader of the other smaller faction Lao Hui replied respectfully.

Gan Luowang had quickly arrived near Jingxi Province.

"So that is Jingxi Province? Nothing special about it!!" Gan Luo Wang eyed the entrance as he chuckled coldly.

Behing Gan Luowang stood 300 warriors decked in black suits and they held rifles in their hands, while they hung Tang Replica Swords by their hips. These 300 warriors were all Enhancers, and while their levels were only around 6 or 7, there were a few who had reached above Level 10. Such a troop was personally led by Gan Luowang. They had killed over 2,000 zombies, and was termed as the Death God Team.

Gan Luowang took one more look at the entrance of Jingxi Province, before turning to his Death God Team and called out: "Brothers! See that? That is Jingxi Province!! There are huge amounts of resources, women and equipment! Once we kill our way in, everything will be ours!! As long as you follow me in, within 3 days, whatever you want to do, I'll allow it! You can play or kill what you wish!"

"Hurray for Leader!!"

"Kill our way in!! Take their resources and women!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

Hearing Gan Luowang's boiling speech, the eyes of those thugs from the Death God Team started to turn bloodshot, as they roarer out loudly, their morale reaching a peak.

Gan Luowang had always liked to use such tactics to raise the morale and fighting spirit of his troops. That was the reason why his troops were the most willing to fight and risk it all amongst Bei Mingyang's faction.

"Kill!!" Gan Luowang bellowed in fury, as he pulled out his own Dark Magic Blade, and charged towards Jingxi Province. He only knew how to use a blade, and wasn't proficient with guns.

With the leadership of Gan Luowang, the 300 warriors charged forwards with their battle cries.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The soldiers at the entrance of Jingxi Province discovered the 300 enemies and immediately raised the alarm, and the entire Jingxi Province resounded with the warning bells.

At the entrance, there were 4 firing points, and they immediately started firing. A dense reply to the attack, a rain of bullets, sprayed towards the charging soldiers of the Death God Team!

Chapter 364 – Collapse

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition, vaticious

[Book 3: The South]

Amidst the rain of bullets, those soldiers from the so-called "Death God Team" were shot rapidly, and many fell onto the ground, bleeding from various wounds. In just a few breaths, there were tens of them lying on the ground.

Seeing their comrades falling to the ground, the remaining warriors of the Death God Team split up and dove for cover, as they raised their guns and started firing in the direction of Jingxi Province.

As the leader, Gan Luowang activated his level 2 [High Speed Movement] that was enhanced 3 times, and with the skill and his equipment, he reached a speed that was 16 times that of a normal human, exceeding even Yue Zhong! A normal person would have no means of locking onto such a terrifying existence.

A huge amount of bullets landed around Gan Luowang, but they did not manage to even scratch him.

In just 10 seconds, Gan Luowang had run in a zigzag manner and crossed the distance of 600m to charge into Jingxi Province. In that entire distance, he wasn't hit once by a bullet at all.

Gan Luowang had rushed past a fortification, and charged into the defence point, killing 4 of the soldiers inside easily like a spectre. The firing from that point ceased immediately.

After casually slaughtering 4 soldiers, Gan Luowang then swiftly ran out from the fortification, and in just a few blinks, appearing within another firing point. He waved his Dark Magic Blade again and killed those 4 soldiers.

Gan Luowang had already destroyed 2 firing points just like that, and he made his way towards another location, preparing to swing his blade at the door of the firing point.

All of a sudden, his face froze in horror, as he dove towards the side hastily.

With a huge bang, the door exploded outwards, and countless metal shards flew out in all directions. There were a few booby traps behind that door!

Gan Luowang's reaction was truly amazing, but as the distance to the epicentre was too close, countless metal shards had landed on his body.

The majority of the shards were blocked by the Mutant Beast hide that he wore, while 2 small shards had shredded his face and 1 in particular had resulted in a hole in his ear.

Enhancers were not invincible after all, in a battle, with all sorts of means, they could be injured as well. Even if Gan Luowang was an Agility-based Evolver, and his abilities far surpassing normal humans, it would be hard to guarantee that he would be totally unscathed. If it wasn't for the beast hide, in that earlier explosion, Gan Luowang might have suffered greatly.

"Fuck!!! All you fuckers wanna die!!!" After receiving injuries, Gan Luowang turned even more savage, and charged into the defence point.

"High Level Enhancer? You sure are capable! However, don't look down on us normal people!" A soldier saw Gan Luowang charging in and laughed lightly, his eyes flashed with a hint of desolate determination, as he pressed down on a button.

Gan Luowang saw the actions of the soldier and a huge sense of crisis welled up in his heart, and he turned to retreat hastily.

With a huge hong!!

A terrifying explosion shook the entire fortification structure and swallowed it up, as dust rushed to the skies. The entire structure collapsed unto itself, and was destroyed immediately.

A small captain of the Death God Team charged out from his cover, and shouted: "The leader has destroyed their morale, it's up to us now! Charge!!'

With the encouragement of the captain, all the warriors of the Death God Team charged out from their covers, and they made for the direction of the Jingxi Province.

Gan Luowang had become the sharp knife to fight against the defence points and experts, after which the Death God Team would follow suit and destroy the remaining the soldiers. This was the way the Death God Team had always fought, and with this method, they had conquered many smaller factions. Without the frontline defences, these factions would be powerless to stop the Death God Team.

Facing the assault of the Death God Team, the remaining defence point fired wildly at the Death God Team.

A huge number of them were immediately pierced by the bullets, as they fell to the ground.

However, the lone firing from this defence point was not enough to block the charge of so many soldiers, and many of these warriors still managed to overrun them.

After destroying the remaining defence point, the Death God Team continued onwards into Jingxi Province with a savage glint in their eyes. In their past battles, as long as they breached the first line of defence, they would start to enjoy success and could indulge in their desires and go wild.

As the lead of the reinforcements, Lao Hui took a look at the entry of the Death God Team from afar as he exclaimed brightly: "Gan Luowang really did it! He managed to breached Jingxi Province!! Brothers, let's charge forwards!!! Once we enter, the women, resources and equipment will be yours!! Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

The 200 soldiers that were led by Lao Hui heard his words, and their morale was also boosted. They took up their guns and blades, as they charged towards Jingxi Province in a frenzy. There were women, resources and equipment.

Bei Mingyang had only opened up a military camp, and obtained a battalion's worth of equipment. These equipment were naturally given to his elite soldiers first. The rest of the faction could only gain some leftover training rifles or handguns.

Shang Lun saw Lao Hui charging towards Jingxi Province and frowned, as he kept silent and did not give the order to follow suit.

Lao Hui had only thought of the rewards, and did not think to consult Shang Lun before leading his troops towards Jingxi Province. Such rewards belonged to whoever had the strength to obtain them first, wanting them to cough the items up would be difficult.

One Enhancer who was standing beside Shang Lun called out urgently: "Boss!! Let us charge forwards too!! If not, we won't even get a scrap afterwards!!"

"Yea!! Boss!! Let us charge forwards!!"

Shang Lun's subordinates were all warriors as well, and were currently extremely attracted to the rewards and spoils of war. This was an entire city they were talking about, and there were bound to be countless good stuff within. If they could gain even a little of it, they could live a decent life.

Shang Lun frowned and replied in a low voice: "Let's wait first!! Since Yue Zhong could conquer Jingxi Province, this is not the extent of his power. No one should think of making a rash move! Otherwise, I'll be merciless!!"

Under the berating of Shang Lun, the restless soldiers stopped in their place.

Shang Lun went to a high vantage point on his own and held a binoculars, as he scoped out the happenings in Jingxi Province.

By this time, the Death God Team had breached the entrance, and without stopping, they were making their way towards the centre of the town.

Just when they managed to charge in for about 10m, from the surrounding buildings, a few defence positions were suddenly set up. Countless bullets covered the Death God Team, and the ruthless rain of metal caused the deaths of many more warriors.

The remaining Death God Team members were immediately scattered as they began to recover from their initial battlelust, while hiding behind cover, and started to return fire.

"Where's the leader?? Where's Leader Gan?"

"Where's the leader??"

When the Death God Team were stopped in their tracks by the relentless defence, they started to seek for their core and leader Gan Luowang. If he was here, the enemy's defence would have long been destroyed.

"Don't tell me, the leader has already been done in??"

In the midst of searching for Gan Luowang to no avail, one of the Death God Team blurted out this thought, which could possibly destroy their morale.

"Impossible!! The leader would not die!!!" One of the warriors screamed back and fired in a frenzy at the surrounding buildings. If Gan Luowang had truly died, only the huge explosion earlier could have killed him.

The warrior from the Death God Team had followed Gan Luowang through countless battles, and while their weapons could not compare with Yue Zhong's troops, their morale and team spirit was undoubtedly higher.

At this time, Lao Hui had also brought his 200 soldiers over, as they saw the numerous corpses of the Death God Team, they started to hesitate. He could feel the cruelty of this battle.

Lao Hui had followed Bei Mingyang for quite a while, and in most battles, they only saw a few dozens of deaths at most. However, in his journey here, the death count had reached over a hundred. The losses of the Death God Team were really huge.

"Where in the world is Gan Luowang?" Lao Hui pulled a Death God Team soldier over and questioned. Gan Luowang was after all a genius and Evolver, Lao Hui was naturally not a match for him. If Gan Luowang was still around, Lao Hui would then have confidence to attack Jingxi Province.

"The leader is dead!!!" Right at this time, an agonized moan came from afar. The captain of the small troop had finally discovered Gan Luowang's flattened corpse under a huge rock, with a look of resentment and disbelief in his eyes.

"The leader is dead!!!"

"The leader is dead!!!"

The sound was like a plague that spread extremely quickly amongst the Death God Team. The originally high morale immediately collapse, and all the warriors started to retreat from their positions.

Gan Luowang was the beacon of strength among them, and was the undefeatable trump card. If he was still around, they would still possess the spirit to continue fighting. With his death, they had totally lost all will.

"What's going on?? Gan Luowang had actually died??" When Lao Hui heard this news, his heart trembled, as he looked at the rapidly retreating Death God Team members, not knowing what to do.

Chapter 365 – Forced Surrender

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"Fire the cannons!!" Zhang Zhi was currently in the command centre giving an order coolly.

With the flashes from 2 122m Howitzers, 2 rockets landed amongst the dead corpses of the Death God Team.

Following the huge sound and terrifying explosion, 30 dead Death God Team soldiers as well as the soldiers under Lao Hui were immediately blasted and sustained heavy injuries, many of them with missing limbs.

At the same time, a number of mortars had landed among the soldiers and exploded consecutively, causing 7 or 8 of the soldiers to be bombed into flying meaty bits.

Amidst the terrifying explosions, the soldiers' morale had dropped to almost zero, as the members of the Death God Team started to abandon their weapons and escape towards all directions. If Gan Luowang was still around, they could have withstood the attacks of the rockets, but since he was already dead, they had no morale or fighting spirit to put up a resistance.

After the detonation of the 2 rockets on Lao Hui's troops, they lost all sense of order as the warriors scrambled to get out of the area of impact. Even Lao Hui himself was rushing to escape.

Lao Hui was a Level 33 Enhancer, but even he could not withstand the impact and blast damage of a 122mm Howitzer round. Furthermore, the area of impact was more than 10m in diameter. He was not an Agility-based Evolver that could make use of [Danger Perception, and based on his abilities, even if he did manage to detect the danger, he had no means of dodging the area of impact.

Just 2 rounds of artillery could cause the soldiers of Lao Hui as well as the Death God Team to lose all bearings, this was the fundamental difference between a proper military and a militia. It was the first time for Lao Hui and the rest who had been fighting against zombies all this while to be facing a human enemy with modern weaponry.

Right as the 2 troops were focused on escaping, an entire platoon wielding .03 rifles appeared from behind them and charged at them!!

"Kneel down and surrender! We won't kill those who surrender!!"

"Kneel down and surrender! We won't kill those who surrender!!"

The platoon of soldiers charged forwards, shouting as they fired shots.

Wu Yin, who was decked in military wear, brandished his Dark Magic Blade and slashed about when he charged into the midst of the retreating soldiers, each time his blade flashed, a soldier would be killed.

It was a scene of slaughter. The soldiers under Lao Hui and Death God Team had lost their spirits, and had no way of resisting the assault of the soldiers.

Many of the Death God Team members and Lao Hui's troops were killed, while others were smart enough to quickly throw their weapons and hugged their heads with their hands as they quickly squatted, shivering uncontrollably, awaiting treatment from the enemy.

On the plateau at a distance, Shang Lun saw how quickly his comrades were dealt with, and his heart went cold.

He celebrated silently in his heart as he thought: "So this must be Yue Zhong's power? I'm afraid it's only one small part of it. He should still have plenty of moves that he hasn't yet employed. Fortunately I didn't charge in as well!!"

Even Shang Lun's subordinates were thanking the heavens that they did not follow suit early. If they had charged in to attack Jingxi Province, they might have been part of the collapse.

Zhang Liyang eyed Shang Lun as he asked: "Boss! What do we do now? Do we save them?"

The 400 soldiers that followed Shang Lun were brothers that have fought beside him in countless battles. Of the 400, 100 had rifles, 50 had handguns, there were only 3 sniper rifles, 12 shotguns, 6 fog shotguns, and 79 submachine guns. They were a decent sized force and could face the platoon of warriors.

Shang Lun's eyes flashed as he contemplated, before sighing heavily and said in a resolute tone: "No!! We're retreating now!!"

"Yes! Boss!!" Shang Lun's subordinates replied in unison.

"Although you have made the right decision, it was too late!! Since you guys are here, you can stay!!" Right as Shang Lun and his troops were about to retreat, 2 men and a girl came up from behind them, they were Yue Zhong, White Bones and Ming Jiajia.

Yue Zhong walked forward with huge strides, his eyes fixed on Shang Lun.

Hearing Yue Zhong's voice, Shang Lun's subordinates all reacted, as they held up their guns and aimed at him.

Yue Zhong eyed those guns and spoke out coldly: "I dislike people pointing their weapons at me! In 4 seconds, if you guys don't put it down, I'll have you all buried here, not a single one of you will be able to leave alive!!"

"What arrogance!!" Zhang Liyang heard Yue Zhong's words, and his eyes flashed with fury, as he scolded back.

"Put down your weapons!!" Shang Lun eyed Yue Zhong, as he narrowed his eyes and waved his hands, before asking Yue Zhong: "Who're you?"

The 100 guns were all lowered, as everyone present shifted their gaze to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong responded indifferently: "I'm Yue Zhong! I'm here personally to advise you guys to surrender! You can do that, or choose to die here. There're only 2 options!"

"Yue Zhong! You're the leader of Jingxi Province Yue Zhong?" When Shang Lun heard that, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but exclaim. He had assumed that the person in front of them was a terrifying Enhancer, but he did not expect that it would be Yue Zhong himself.

The 400 warriors under Shang Lun had a huge change in expressions as well, their eyes flashed with a strange glint. The boss of Jingxi Province was right here in front of them, as long as they could capture him, Jingxi Province would practically fall into their laps.

Yue Zhong replied mildly: "That's right!"

Shang Lun looked at him fearfully, while suppressing the notion of capturing Yue Zhong and asked: "Yue Zhong! Even if you're truly powerful, on what grounds do you think you will be able to keep the 400 of us here?"

"Is this enough for you?"

Yue Zhong lightly clapped his hands, and behind him, countless Mutant Leopard Cats led by Lightning stepped out from the forest, eyeing the 400 soldiers with a ferocious gaze.

"Type 2 Mutant Leopard Cat!! You're actually able to command a Type 2 Mutant Beast???" Shang Lun took one look at Lightning, as a look of horror appeared on his face, as he muttered out dejectedly.

A Type 2 Mutant Beast could take a Level 40 Enhancer down easily. To deal with one, it required the cooperation of numerous experts. Otherwise, only modern weapons such as rocket launchers, tanks and assault helicopters would be of use.

Just Lightning itself would be able to take care of Shang Lun and his soldiers within a matter of seconds. Needless to say the rest of the Mutant Leopard Cats that followed behind.

All 400 of the soldiers under Shang Lun were around Level 5 or 6, and was by no means able to compare with the Mutant Leopard Cats in terms of speed. Without any structures, running about would just mean death.

Seeing the 100 or so Mutant Leopard Cats, the expressions of the soldiers of Shang Lun turned ugly. If Yue Zhong really could control those Mutant Beasts, in just a single call, they would be totally wiped out. At most, they could kill a few Mutant Leopard Cats in retaliation.

"Surrender! Or death?!" Yue Zhong reached out to pat Lightning's head, while glancing at Shang Lun and pressured once more.

Shang Lun immediately quietened down. He could feel the gazes of his comrades behind him, and just a single command could result in their deaths.

Shang Lun hesitated, before saying: "Yue Zhong! If I surrender, what will happen to my brothers and I?"

Yue Zhong replied in a low voice: "If there are no major misbehaviour, you guys will be immediately drafted into my troops, and undergo military training. If there are problems and past offences to be ironed out, those troublemakers would be directly thrown into the Scum Battalion, and can only rely on their own power and actions to crawl out from there."

By absorbing these warriors, Yue Zhong would usually separate them, and make them undergo training and reform, before filling up his troops. The disadvantage was that the power of these troops would not be enough to bolster his fighting force. However, the advantage was that these people would find it hard to leave and stand on their own afterwards.

Shang Lun looked at his hands, before looking at Yue Zhong and said slowly: "Yue Zhong! I'm willing to get my brothers to submit to you. Please do not harm their lives!"

Yue Zhong replied: "Not a problem!"

The soldiers following Shang Lun were all painstakingly trained up by him. While their levels were not high, most of them were above Level 5, and had better physique than most people and were in the best conditions to fight for him. Yue Zhong would naturally not kill them for no reason.

After obtaining Yue Zhong's promise, he ordered his subordinates: "Everyone put down your weapons!!"

Under his orders, the 400 soldiers all surrendered the weapons in their hands.

Zhang Liyang shouted out, while his hands still held his submachine gun: "Boss!!"

Shang Lun stared and berated: "Put it down!!"

Zhang Liyang gritted his teeth, before throwing his gun down as well.

After commanding his subordinates to surrender, Shang Lun then stared at Yue Zhong and said: "However!! Yue Zhong!! If you want me to submit to you willingly, please do your best to defeat me! If you can defeat me, I will follow you wholeheartedly!! I'm called Shang Lun, a Level 42 Enhancer. I'm skilled at close combat, and my skills have been enhanced thrice!"

Seeing Shang Lun being so agreeable earlier, Yue Zhong decided to honor his request: "Sure!! I'll do as you wish!!"

Shang Lun waved his hands, and his subordinates immediately stepped back, leaving a space for the 2 to battle.

Yue Zhong gazed at Shang Lun and said: "Please start!"

"Be careful!!" Shang Lun's eyes turned cold, as he suddenly stepped forward with a strange movement, getting extremely close to Yue Zhong. The steps he used were truly mysterious, and in that few seconds, his speed actually exceeded that of the Agility-based Evolver Gan Luowang.

Yue Zhong stared fixedly at Shang Lun as his eyes narrowed, and he activated his [Art of Fear]. In that instant, the oppressive Spiritual attack overwhelmed the mind of Shang Lun.

Shang Lun was instantly enveloped in that crushing pressure, and he was stopped in his tracks.

Yue Zhong then kicked out savagely, his foot landing on Shang Lun's abdomen, sending him flying back by 3m. At the same time, he pulled out his Stinger and aimed at Shang Lun's head before saying coldly: "You've lost!"

Shang Lun endured his pain, as he climbed out slowly, his eyes full of bitterness: "I've lost!"

Chapter 366 – Discussion of Plans

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

*Jingxi Province – changed to Jingxi City (as pointed out by msomer3)

*Tianxin Province – changed to Tianxin District

When the subordinates of Shang Lun witnessed this scene, their hearts turned cold. They had followed Shang Lun through a number of battles, and they were clear on how fearsome his combat abilities could be.

Within a radius of 10m, Shang Lun could absolutely employ his close-combat skills. In the entire faction of Bei Mingyang, no one had the confidence of besting Shang Lun within 10m. Even the naturally awakened Agility-based Evolver Gan Luowang had been defeated by Shang Lun before. Such a strong person was actually defeated within a second by Yue Zhong, the subordinates of Shang Lun could not help but be bitter.

Yue Zhong suddenly looked towards a dark corner and spoke coldly: "Come out!! How long do you plan on spectating?"

Everyone threw their gaze to the corner, yet they did not discover anything.

"Since you're unwilling to step out alive, you can die!" Yue Zhong's gaze turned cold and he waved his hand, as he aimed his Stinger at the corner.

With a peng, there was a spurt of blood from the corner, and the space seemed to distort, as a person appeared out of thin air, at the same time moaning in agony.

White Bones pointed to the person, and a sharp bone spear shot out from its finger, piercing the head of the assailant, causing him to die instantly. White Bones then retracted its finger and pulled the corpse along with it, tossing the dead person in front of Shang Lun.

Yue Zhong commented indifferently: "You should know this guy right! Shang Lun!"

Shang Lun looked at the head of the dead person which had been pierced through, as he fought to fight down the fear threatening to overcome his heart and said slowly: "Yes! He's called Zheng Zigang, and is one of the trusted aides under Bei Mingyang. He has the skill [Distort Perception]. He was originally someone who lacked presence, and coupled with the skill, as long as he didn't move, no one could detect him at all."

With such a top-tier skill, even someone as high-levelled as Shang Lun would not be able to detect the presence of Zheng Zigang if he got close to him. In all sense, he was an assassin, a master at sneaking and intel gathering.

Shang Lun did not think that such an expert would actually fall in Yue Zhong's hands.

In fact, Yue Zhong had not discovered Zheng Zigang. It was when he was staring, and involuntarily emitted a killing intent that Yue Zhong could discover his position, and instantly took care of him. If Zheng Zigang had controlled his aura, Yue Zhong would not be able to detect him.

"Leader!!" Zheng Minghe had brought a company of soldiers as they arrived, and saluted him.

"He truly is the leader! He's too fearsome!" Zheng Minghe looked at the 400 soldiers of Shang Lun surrounded by the Mutant Leopard Cats and the abandoned weapons, and shock filled his heart, a complicated gleam in his eyes.

Following the display and spread of power of Yue Zhong, the ex-Freemasons realised their influence was getting weaker. There were only Zheng Minghe and a few others from the previous upper echelons that were left. As for the Chinese survivors that Yue Zhong rescued from Vietnam, they practically worshipped Yue Zhong, and many of them had been conferred high ranks. This led to a sense of urgency within Zheng Minghe's heart, if this continued, he would only become a normal soldier in the future, and would not belong to the upper echelons.

"Go back!" Yue Zhong patted Lightning's head, and it turned around, bringing its little brothers into the forest.

Jingxi City was surrounded by mountains, and there were forests, streams as well as mountains everywhere. Lightning and its brothers could easily find food in such locations. Mutant Beasts were unlike humans after all, even if there were no prey within the forests, all they had to do was to enter the villages and enjoy themselves, after all the zombies were the best nutrients for these Mutant Beasts.

Zheng Minghe escorted Shang Lun and the rest back towards Jingxi City.

"In this battle! Our army had 29 casualties: 24 dead, 5 injured. We had killed a total of 282 enemies, and captured a total of 637 of them. We've obtained 400 firearms, as well as 40,000 ammunition. 20 vehicles, 20 tonnes rations…."

In the meeting hall within Jingxi City, Ming Jiajia was currently in a female military uniform, and in her hands, a thick stack of documents as she was reporting the details of the recent battle.

There were numerous subordinates of Yue Zhong gathered within the meeting hall at the moment.

A bespectacled man of about 36 years old cursed out loud: "Damn it!! This bastard Bei Mingyang actually dared to attack us!! Leader, let me take a few of our brothers to eradicate him!!"

Chen He was one of the Chinese that Yue Zhong rescued from Vietnam. After he was rescued, he trained extremely hard, and was valiant when it came to battling, and amongst those present, he was already the Company Officer of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion. He had reached Level 18.

Chen He was not an Evolver, and did not possess any powerful skills, and without the equipment of the system that Yue Zhong provided, he would not be able the speed of levelling of Ming Jiajia.

Another male with a shaved head and black eyepatch as he was blind in one eye, shouted out aggressively: "Yeah!! Leader!! Let's kill that bunch of assholes!! The 2nd Company is willing to be the vanguard!!!"

"The 2nd Company from the 1st Battalion is willing to lead the charge! Let's go thrash those bastards!! We shall capture the daughter of that Bei Mingyang and make her serve our leader!!"

In the meeting hall, almost all the officers were like wolves as they erupted in calls for battle, and their battlelust reached an extreme high.

Shu Tianya who was sitting at a side, heard the various shouts from the leaders and a complicated feeling arose in her heart: "If the Chinese Association had such fighting spirit, how would we have been forced into a corner by Wuyan Hong?"

The Chinese Association was also an organization, with various factions within. When they faced Wuyan Hong, some of the warriors would fight to the death, just like Zheng Qiang, while others would conserve their strengths for self-preservation sake.

Even Shu Wenyan had to maintain some forces to deal with possible characters with unkind intentions within his organization, and since his hands and legs were bound, it was hard for him to expand.

Wei Ningguo hesitated awhile, before he chipped in: "Leader! Should we train up a batch of tank operators before we go and fight Bei Mingyang? After we train up an elite squad, he would not be a match for us at all!"

Yue Zhong had obtained the equipment from the Border Guards, and the soldiers were getting acquainted with the usage of these equipment, and in a short span of time, those cannons and tanks could not be utilized. When Shang Lun and the rest came to raid, Yue Zhong could only deploy 2 of the Howitzers to fend them off.

If they could raise a batch of reliable mortar hands, Yue Zhong could deploy 15 Howitzers to launch an intense volley of attacks on his enemies. That was more than enough to crush any enemy entirely.

Zheng Minghe also quipped in after awhile: "Yes! Leader, we should restrain ourselves first! In only a month's time, we could easily wipe Bei Mingyang's troops out! We have confidence in dealing with their troops in a battle in the wild, but assaulting their stronghold would be difficult now."

Hearing the words of Wei Ningguo and Zheng Minghe, the heat of the atmosphere simmered a little. Assaulting and fighting were different tactics, and in a siege, even if the defensive side had lesser fighting spirit, with enough weapons, they could cause enough hurt to the attacking side.

All the gazes landed on Yue Zhong, awaiting his order. To attack or to wait, was entire dependant on his decision.

"The weather is getting colder! In another few days, winter would most likely fall upon us! We don't have time to waste! I command the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 2nd Battalion, as well as the Scum, Women and Captives battalion to launch an assault on Tianxin District. This battle, we can only achieve victory!" Yue Zhong's flashed coldly, and then continued: "Wei Ningguo, I command you as well as the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion to prepare the troops in defending Jingxi City."

"Yes!!"

"Yes!"

All the subordinates replied spiritedly.

Yue Zhong then turned his gaze towards Shu Tianya who was observing the proceedings: "Miss Shu Tianya, I would like to invite you to bring your people and attack Tianxin District with us. Is that ok?"

Shu Tianya smiled coyly at Yue Zhong: "It's no problem of course! However, only my troops will go. If you want me to lend a hand personally, you will need to pay the right price!"

Shu Tianya was an intelligent woman, when she heard Yue Zhong's order, she could tell that Yue Zhong wanted to conquer Tianxin District at all costs. Yue Zhong had sent even the Scum, Captives and Women Battalion to leave Jingxi City, which showed his worry that things might erupt if he was not around.

Shu Tianya was considered to be a secondary part of Yue Zhong's forces as well, and since Yue Zhong was about to fight an intense battle, he would not leave her in his stronghold.

Yue Zhong smiled gently and said: "No problem!"

After the meeting concluded, the entire Jingxi City went into a bustle in preparation for the huge battle to come. Numerous small teams started to gather, and made their way towards Tianxin District.

In an office in Tianxin District.

Bei Mingyang stared at the soldiers who escaped back from the earlier battle, his eyes filled with disbelief as he gaped: "What? You said Gan Luowang, Lao Hui and Shang Lun had been overcome? Are you sure??"

The soldier had a look of fear as he replied: "Yes!! Boss Bei!! Gan Luowang and Lao Hui had been killed! Shang Lun and his subordinates had already surrendered to Yue Zhong! I have escaped with great difficulty. Yue Zhong can control Mutant Beasts! There was even a Type 2 Mutant Beast within his control!!"

"Control a Type 2 Mutant Beast?! How is that possible??" Bei Mingyang's eyes flashed with disbelief. The might of a Type 2 Beast was incredible, wanting to kill it was almost impossible, needless to say controlling it. Bei Mingyang had never seen anybody who could control Mutant Beasts before!

Chapter 367 – Stunning Counterattack

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition! Vaticious!

[Book 3: The South]

The soldier's eyes flashed with terror, as he continued: "It's true!! I saw a Type 2 Mutant Beast and 100 of its little brothers surrounding Shang Lun and his troops with my own eyes!! It was due to that, that Shang Lun submitted! Furthermore, Shang Lun and Yue Zhong had a duel, but he was defeated in a single move!!"

Bei Mingyang's face turned ashen, and he said pointedly: "Enough!!"

In that meeting hall, as the various leaders heard the report of the soldier, their expressions turned extremely ugly. If they truly wanted to contend with a freak who could control a Type 2 Mutant Beasts as well as an army of elites, it made their hearts nervous.

"Let's talk to him! See what he wants to say."

"En! Let's make contact, and see what kind of person he is!"

The atmosphere of the meeting hall had changed, and no one dared speak of fighting Yue Zhong.

The main difference between the 2 sides was that Yue Zhong was truly powerful and commanded everyone under him through the display of his absolute power. Bei Mingyang made use of his tactics to gather a few factions together to form a stronghold of about 50,000 people. Within this faction, Bei Mingyang had the most strength, but it was still democratic and Bei Mingyang had to listen to the views of the rest. It could not compare to Yue Zhong where a single sentence of his could get things done.

Bei Mingyang furrowed his brows slightly as he spoke in a low voice: "Speaking with him is not an issue! However, we still have to fight a battle with him, and we must win. Only then will we have the qualifications to negotiate with him."

The leader of another small faction lamented: "Gan Luowang and Shang Lun have already been defeated! Who else can we send to fight against him?"

Gan Luowang and Shang Lun were the strongest fighting forces amongst the factions, and they had actually been subdued entirely by Yue Zhong. The rest of their fighting forces could not compare to the 2, and thus the various leaders had no confidence of dealing with Yue Zhong.

Bei Mingyang replied: "This time, we have to send a joint force! We must win against him, and let him taste our strength!"

"A joint team! Good!! If we all join forces, we can deal with Yue Zhong!"

"Good! This time we must let Yue Zhong experience our strength!"

Upon hearing the term joint forces, all the leaders excitedly went into a buzz. The joint forces meant the cooperation of all the various elites, and even Bei Mingyang's forces of 3 battalions would be sent out.

Right as Bei Mingyang had proposed the idea of a joint forces, was the moment when Tianxin District suddenly came under attack.

With a hong!!

Right as the various leaders were calling out in excitement, a terrifying explosion rang out, and the entire meeting hall was shaken by the shockwave. Countless dust and pieces were shaken loose as a result.

"What's going on?" Bei Mingyang was shocked, and he had a bad premonition.

"Quickly escape!! It's not safe here anymore!!" One of the leaders shouted loudly, and bolted out from the window.

The bad feeling continued to well up inside Bei Mingyang, as his body flashed, and he leapt out the other window.

The rest of the leaders also went into a panic, and some jumped out the windows, some hid under the meeting table.

It was 3-storey jump, and not everyone could jump out from 3 storeys and be totally fine.

With a huge hong! Just when Bei Mingyang had just jumped out from the building, a rocket landed explosively on the wall, causing it to be blasted, and the entire structure collapsed, debris falling everywhere and dust rising to the skies. Those people still within the building were instantly killed.

Bei Mingyang saw the state of the building and immediately felt horror, if he was just slightly slower, he would have joined the rest of the corpses within.

"What's going on? Who dares attack us?" Bei Mingyang was racking his brain, and trying to determine which party was so vicious, and had actually used a rocket to blast them.

Sounds of gunfire and explosions rang out from afar, and even those leaders within the government area of the district could hear the wild firing.

"Boss Bei!! Boss Bei!! Yue Zhong had brought men and are attacking us right now!! They're making use of heavy artillery, tanks and even powerful Enhancers to suddenly raid us. They have already broken through 6 main defences!! Boss Bei, quick think of something!!" A soldier covered entirely in blood ran up to Bei Mingyang's side and reported agitatedly.

Bei Mingyang's expression turned to one of incredulous disbelief, and immediately fired back: "What?! 6 defence lines already?! How is that possible? Those 6 defence lines have 2 companies of soldiers keeping guard! How can they be wiped out so quickly? How is this possible? How can their forces be so strong! What about the alarm? How come we didn't receive any warning, until we were attacked??"

Bei Mingyang wasn't a fool, and had set up countless sentries around Tianxin District, to prevent the ambush of enemies. However those sentries had long since been wiped out by Ming Jiajia and Zheng Minghe. Without any alerts from the sentries, Yue Zhong could bring his men and directly attack Tianxin District.

"Go notify the entire army, withstand the attack!! No one is to retreat even a single step! I'll bring reinforcements right now!!" Bei Mingyang was after all passionate warrior, as his eyes flashed with a cold light and he hollered at the soldier.

After which, Bei Mingyang pulled out a walkie-talkie and fiddled with the switch before he shouted: "Zhao Zhigang! Go gather the troops. Within 30 minutes, they have to be assembled!"

Zhao Zhigang was the Battalion Commander of Bei Mingyang's elite 1st Battalion. Every single one of them was equipped with border guards' equipment, and there was even a company of veterans. Their combat power was truly strong. They were the right and left arms of Bei Mingyang as well.

"Boss Bei!! 30 minutes is too short!! Today was supposed to be a holiday, if you want the entire battalion to assemble, it would take at least 3 hours!!" Zhao Zhigang's exasperated voice resounded from within the walkie-talkie.

Bei Mingyang bellowed out in rage: "I don't care! I'm giving you only 30 minutes, after which you had better bring the troops to the frontlines! Otherwise I'll execute you!!"

It was a moment of crisis now, and Bei Mingyang had no way of retraining his calm demeanor.

Zhao Zhigang gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice: "Understood! Boss Bei!!"

Zhao Zhigang had also surmised the critical situation from the sounds of fighting at the frontlines. Who knows, Tianxin District might really end up in Yue Zhong's hands if they were careless.

Bei Mingyang recollected himself, before shouting into the walkie-talkie again: "Bai Xiaosheng!!! Bai Xiaosheng!!!"

However, regardless of how much Bei Mingyang shouted, there was no reply from the walkie-talkie.

Bei Mingyang's face had turned steely as he cursed: "Damn bastard!! At this sort of critical juncture, he had actually disappeared!!"

Bai Xiaosheng was the commander of the expert battalion that Bei Mingyang had groomed, and he possessed decent strength. At the same time, he commanded 12 Level 30 Enhancers, 26 Level 20 Enhancers, and a 168 Level 10 Enhancers.

Bai Xiaosheng and his experts battalion was also part of Bei Mingyang's arms, and they were truly strong!

It was precisely because Bei Mingyang had the experts battalion under Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Zhigang's elite battalion that he could control the entire faction at Tianxin District. However, Bai Xiaosheng was a free spirit, and he liked to play and fool around with women, and was often not found anywhere. Bei Mingyang could tolerate his disappearances often, but at this crucial time, he was still nowhere to be found, that led Bei Mingyang to be furious beyond belief.

At Tianxin District's frontlines, Yue Zhong had brought his most elite forces from the 1st Battalion 1st Company, as well as Wu Yin, White Bones, Ming Jiajia and Zheng Minghe as they slaughtered their way through Tianxin District like a sharp knife.

Ming Jiajia had summoned her 5 Shadow Wolves, which melded into the shadows and would appear suddenly, biting the opposing soldiers in their necks, leaving them with no way to react.

On top of that, those Shadow Wolves could sniff out the location of humans, and Ming Jiajia would point out the hiding locations to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong was wielding his .03 rifle. He clearly split his attention,on one hand, he took out any soldier within his line of sight. On the other, he continued commanding his troops in the course of battle.

White Bones was the sharpest and most dangerous vanguard he possessed. It could easily charge into the midst of the enemy and dance about with its bone blades, slaughtering the soldiers as easily as killing chickens. Its front was dyed full of blood, and those poor soldiers who got in its way would either be sliced in half or beheaded. The cruelty of their deaths shook their comrades greatly.

On the other side, Wu Yin wielded his Dark Magic Blade and weaved in and out of the enemy, following Yue Zhong's instructions to route the enemy and attack them from behind.

Zheng Minghe was proficient with modern weaponry, and he used a grenade launcher, as he followed Yue Zhong's instructions in firing at different important buildings, causing destruction everywhere.

These 5 experts of Yue Zhong co-ordinated and caused widespread destruction amongst the 1st company of soldiers they fought.

The 1st Company that followed Yue Zhong closely behind were also the elite of the elite, each of them decked in Type 3 Mutant Snake hide, as they pushed forward. They were adept at using grenades and mortars as they also blasted the enemies in front of them into pieces.

In a battle on the streets, the hardest thing was determining your enemies' locations. In this aspect, Ming Jiajia and her Shadow Wolves were more of use compared to Yue Zhong in doing so. Due to the ease at which the wolves could detect the enemy, Yue Zhong's soldiers could easily wipe them out. Without Ming Jiajia, the frontal assault would not have gone so smoothly.

Yue Zhong brought the 1st Company and continued their rapid advance in, breaking through 6 defence lines, and finally slaughtered the Border Guards of Bei Mingyang. He left the remaining few soldiers to escape in sobs towards the centre of the District, leaving their backs open to Yue Zhong. They were easily slaughtered.

With Yue Zhong leading the sneak attack on Tianxin District, they were practically unhindered as they sliced through Tianxin District like a hot knife through butter, and they made their way closer towards the weapons storage facility.

Chapter 368 – Break!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Yue Zhong had obtained various reports on the situation of Tianxin District from Shang Lun, and had ascertained the different key locations to launch his attack. They were almost unimpeded the entire way!

Zhao Zhigang had assembled 2 companies of elites as they rushed to the battlefront, and as trained, they launched a frenzied attack on Yue Zhong's troops.

A dense hail of bullets covered the front troops, causing a few of the soldiers to fall.

Facing that sudden assault, the vanguard soldiers of Yue Zhong's troops also ducked hastily for cover, as they returned fire.

Those soldiers who had fallen on the ground quickly got up, and rolled to the side as they ducked behind cover. Their Type 3 Mutant Snake hides had prevented the bullets from piercing them, as long as they didn't receive a head wound, they managed to survive.

However, 2 elite soldiers that had trained under Yue Zhong had suffered headshots and died instantly.

It was the first time that Yue Zhong's troops suffered casualties since their assault on Tianxin District.

"Hold your ground!! Stand for me and slaughter these bunch of bandits!!" Zhao Zhigang shouted in fury, as though he was a madman.

The firepower from Zhao Zhigang's troops came down hard and heavy on the troops of Yue Zhong. Explosions rang out continuously, without a single moment of rest.

Under that intense heavy fire, those soldiers who wore the Type 3 Mutant Snake hide found themselves being injured, and some even had their heads blasted away.

Yue Zhong's troops fired back with their own heavy artillery without mercy, as Zhao Zhigang's side also sustained injuries. However, these troops did not collapse like most other normal factions, as they were well-trained soldiers and held their ground, risking their all to fire at Yue Zhong's troops.

"These must be the elite soldiers of Bei Mingyang! They truly can put up a fight!!" Yue Zhong observed them, as his eyes flashed with a strange glint.

These troops of Zhao Zhigang were the most resilient soldiers that Yue Zhong's troops had encountered. They could be considered the core of the faction and amongst the soldiers under Yue Zhong, those who could contend with them were at most 2 companies.

These elite troops could be said to have undergone countless tough training and battles to achieve such a standard. Their aura and bearings were totally different as well.

"What a pity! Such a troop is going to fall at my hands today!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, as he carried Ming Jiajia with the Level 5 Bronze Spiritual Bell and charged forwards with White Bones.

"There are 2 enemies at the 2nd window of the 3rd storey of the building on the right! There are 3 enemies lying in ambush at the next corner as well!" Ming Jiajia reported dutifully as she rode on Yue Zhong's back, her Shadow Wolf hidden in Yue Zhong's shadow and its acute sense of smell detected the positions of the enemies. She herself was like the transmitter that provided the information to Yue Zhong.

White Bones's eyes flashed, as a bone spike shot out explosively, piercing into the ceiling of the 3rd storey of the building. It then retracted the bone spike, while it leapt towards the window, and raised its left hand. 2 sharp bone spikes burst out instantaneously and penetrated the heads of the 2 elite soldiers.

Yue Zhong took a deep breath, as he activated his 11x normal speed, and in a few seconds, appearing behind the corner of the alleyway. He took up his .03 rifle and fired wildly, causing those 3 lying in ambush to be punctured full of holes.

After disposing of 5 of the enemies, Yue Zhong and White Bones continued their advance like a sharp knife towards Zhao Zhigang's troops.

"Strong Enhancers!! Damn it!! These freaks!!" Inside a building, Zhao Zhigang was using his binoculars to observe the situation. He watched on helplessly as Yue Zhong and White Bones slaughtered his troops, and his heart sank, while his lower lip split from all his biting.

Zhao Zhigang had also seen the prowess of a high level Enhancer from the likes of Bai Xiaosheng. Although they weren't invincible entities, they did possess all sorts of capabilities. With the right training, their combat power was definitely way above normal people. However, to actually kill their way through his troops without breaking a sweat, Yue Zhong and White Bones were terrifying existences that exceeded his imagination.

Yue Zhong was still carrying Ming Jiajia on his back, while moving swiftly, only slightly slower than he normally can reach. He continued to charge forwards, using his gun skills and grenades to hunt the elite soldiers. In a matter of 10 minutes, the total number of soldiers that had died at his hands had already exceeded a platoon!! If it wasn't for the positions of the soldiers being scattered, the number of deaths would definitely be higher.

If it was a normal company of soldiers, facing this death god-like Yue Zhong, they would have long since lost all sense of fighting spirit and ran after so many of their soldiers died. However, these 2 companies were the elites of the elites under Bei Mingyang, and have gone through several battles, their aura and bearings were vastly different from normal troops. Since they could not overcome Yue Zhong, then they would fight to the death! A large number of bullets were continually fired at his position, and some of the bullets would actually land on him, but the protection of the Bronze Spiritual Bell caused the bullets to ricochet off.

A pale-faced sentry came to Zhao Zhigang's side and reported: "Commander!! The 1st platoon and 2nd platoon of the 1st Company had died!! What do we do? If it's just us, we have no way of blocking those monsters!!"

Yue Zhong, White Bones and Ming Jiajia had easily taken out 40-over people with just the 3 of them, and their own troops behind them weren't pushovers as well, killing a number on the enemy.

"Damn it!! Why is that bastard Bai Xiaosheng not here yet!!" Zhao Zhigang cursed out furiously.

If Bai Xiaosheng took his expert battalion over as reinforcements, Zhao Zhigang had more confidence to contend against Yue Zhong. However, with just the soldiers under him, it was simply not enough to withstand Yue Zhong's assault.

"Commander!! The 3rd platoon has fallen as well!! They are already exchanging blows with the 2nd Company!!" Just as Zhao Zhigang had cursed out loud, an intelligence officer walked in, his expression pale as he reported.

"WHAT?? The 1st Company has already fallen?! How can it happen so quickly!! HOW!!" Zhao Zhigang was truly pale now as he bellowed.

The 1st and 2nd Companies under Zhao Zhigang were warriors who could truly fight, having been forged through countless battles. He had confidence that the combat prowess of these 2 companies could match the american troops with full equipment. They had a strong sense of fighting spirit, and even if they could not possible overcome Yue Zhong's troops, they would at least be able to put up a decent fight to drag out the time.

In fact, if it wasn't for the charge from Yue Zhong, White Bones and Ming Jiajia, the strength of Yue Zhong's troops would truly be unable to push through the elite forces of Zhao Zhigang, and the battle might be dragged out for 1 or 2 days.

With the appearance of Enhancers and Evolvers, the advantage was quickly shown during the intense battle. The abilities and skills they possessed went beyond the warfare tactics of before the apocalypse.

One of the intelligence personnel asked: "What do we do? Commander!! If we continue fighting, we will only be wiped out. Let's retreat!!"

The other intel officer stepped forward: "Yea! Commander! Let's leave!! Since we have already fought to this extent, we have done our part for Boss Bei already! As long as green hills remain,there'll never be a shortage of firewood.(While there's life there's hope.)"

Not everyone were valiant matyrs who did not mind dying for a cause, should the situation call for it, there were some who would think of retreating.

Zhao Zhigang eyed those intelligence officers, his face turned countless times, and finally spoke out with great difficulty: "Retreat!! Get the 2nd and 3rd Platoons from the 2nd Company to retreat from the battlefield immediately!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Those intelligence officers heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately issued the command for the soldiers to retreat.

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd platoons of the 2nd Company immediately withdrew, making their way back like fallen troops. Seeing how Yue Zhong had easily demolished their defences and annihilated their comrades, their morale had sunk to an unprecedented low.

"Those who surrender will be spared!! Those who surrender will be spared!!" As Yue Zhong fought hard, he saw the soldiers from the 2nd Company retreating, and immediately hollered out loud.

"Those who surrender will be spared!! Those who surrender will be spared!!". The soldiers behind Yue Zhong also followed suit with their exuberant shouts.

Amidst those shouts, the doomed 1st platoon also lost their will to fight, and immediately threw their weapons down, hugging their heads with their hands as they squatted.

"Those who surrender will be spared!! Those who surrender will be spared!!" Yue Zhong brought his troops towards the retreating soldiers of the 2nd Company, and he quickly caught up, as he shouted out loudly while beginning his slaughter amongst them.

While the soldiers were retreating, a number of them would fall under Yue Zhong and White Bones' hands, while the 4 Shadow Wolves controlled by Ming Jiajia also jumped out from the shadows as they bit down ferociously on the unsuspecting soldiers.

"I surrender! Spare me!!"

"I surrender! Spare me!!"

"Surrendered!!"

Under the pursuit of Yue Zhong and the other 2, the remaining soldiers from the 2nd Company immediately threw their weapons and hugged their heads, the deaths of their comrades looming over them.

The support troops of Yue Zhong quickly arrived, and were tasked to absorb the captives, while Yue Zhong himself continued making his way towards the armory.

With the defeat of Zhao Zhigang, there were no other powers that could stop the advance of Yue Zhong, and he quickly made his way to the front of the armory.

He discovered that instead of an army defending the armory, there was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance.

That middle-aged man looked at Yue Zhong and his vanguard troops, and he quickly made his way towards Yue Zhong.

Seeing the man make his way over, the soldiers beside Yue Zhong raised their guns and took aim, preparing to take him out.

Yue Zhong waved his hands, and allowed the man to come close.

Bei Mingyang looked at Yue Zhong and said slowly: "This commander, I am the leader of Tianxin District, Bei Mingyang! I would like to meet with Yue Zhong!"

Chapter 369 – Cold Snow!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South] Chapter 369: Cold Snow!

Yue Zhong looked at Bei Mingyang coldly and said: "I'm Yue Zhong! Whatever you have to say, spit it out! Don't think about dragging the time, otherwise I'll execute you on the spot!"

Bei Mingyang maintained his gaze as he spoke seriously: "Then I'll cut to the chase! Yue Zhong, the armory behind me is filled with explosives! As long as I don't make it back by 20 minutes, the explosives will go off. The resources and ammunition in there would be incinerated instantly. Other than the armory, I have sent men to the granary as well, as long as I don't leave here alive, after 20 minutes, the place will turn into a sea of blaze!"

When Yue Zhong heard this, he frowned. There were over 50,000 survivors in Tianxin District. If the granary was to be blown to bits, the 50,000 survivors would become a heavy burden. Even if Yue Zhong transferred the rations from Jingxi City to save Tianxin District, it would leave Jingxi City with barely 3 months' worth of supplies.

Wu Yin's eyes narrowed, as he threatened with fury: "Bastard! If you dare do that, I'll break you!"

"I'll cut you in pieces bastard!!!"

The various leaders under Yue Zhong shouted out in fury.

Facing those agitated threats, Bei Mingyang did not falter, instead looking quietly at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong waved his hands, only then did the noise subside.

Yue Zhong looked at Bei Mingyang with an icy gaze as he said: "State your conditions! As long as it's not too preposterous, I'll promise you!"

Since Beii Mingyang had stepped out alone, and had not yet burnt the armory or granary, it was obvious he didn't want to push things too far. He wanted to live as well.

Bei Mingyang eyed Yue Zhong and continued: "I'm willing to surrender to you, Leader Yue Zhong! However, I hope that you will promise to keep our families and personal property out of harm's way. Also, after we surrender, we hope to gain the same rights as your current citizens."

In this post-apocalypse, human lives were cheap. Bei Mingyang was worried that once they surrendered, they might be slaughtered like pigs and dogs. He had fought for his position in this new apocalyptic world and knew how dark and cruel humans can get, and was afraid that Yue Zhong would be like those terrorists who did whatever they wanted.

Yue Zhong replied: "Fine! I'll promise you that!"

Those conditions that Bei Mingyang had stated, Yue Zhong already had the intentions of doing. It was true that Yue Zhong was merciless to his enemies, but it was just that. He never allowed his troops to engage in pillaging or rape nor widespread massacring.

Hearing Yue Zhong's promise, Bei Mingyang heaved a sigh of relief, and he pulled out a walkie-talkie and said: "Everyone immediately surrender!"

Upon receiving Bei Mingyang's orders, the various defences laid down their arms. The huge doors of the armory opened up as well, allowing the soldiers under Yue Zhong to make their way in.

Within the armory, there were numerous IFVs, Red Arrows, machine-gun mounted vehicles and various other modern weaponry.

Amongst the soldiers under Bei Mingyang, only a handful of the veterans commanded by Zhao Zhigang had the knowledge to operate these weapons. However, they had not the time to use these before they were routed and forced by Yue Zhong to surrender, in the end, they wound up not even displaying the prowess of these weapons.

Otherwise, this assault on Tianxin District would have seen more casualties on Yue Zhong's side.

When Bei Mingyang surrendered, the defence of Tianxin District weakened by about 80%. There were a few troops that still tried to prevent Yue Zhong from entering parts of the town. However, under the threat and power of Yue Zhong's troops, they were quickly defeated and killed.

Not long after, the entire defence of Tianxin District had crumbled, and the violence and various fights were put down. All troublemakers were executed on the spot, and under the pressure and vigilance of the troops, Tianxin District regained its peace.

With Tianxin District in Yue Zhong's control, the expert battalion also fell into Yue Zhong's lap.

The leader of the expert battalion Bai Xiaosheng had actually fooled around with a few beauties the night prior, as a result, he had been entirely spent, sleeping throughout the entire ordeal. When he awoke, he discovered that Tianxin District had already belonged to Yue Zhong.

Seeing that Bei Mingyang had surrender, Bai Xiaosheng also dutifully swore allegiance to Yue Zhong.

After obtaining Tianxin District, Yue Zhong set in motion the retraining and organization of the troops. He created 4 infantry battalions as well as an expert battalion. Furthermore, with the 6 infantry battalions and support troops, the army under Yue Zhong had swelled to a size of more than 4,000 people.

However, out of these 4,000 people, the actual number who could fight well were only 3 infantry battalions and the expert battalion. The rest were still in training, and within a short span of time, they would not be ready to engage in any battle nor provide any boost in fighting capabilities.

When the 4 infantry battalions and the expert battalion were assembled, Yue Zhong deployed them in shifts to clear out the zombies in the surrounding towns. On one hand, they managed to retrieve more resources, on the other, they were grinding to increase their combat abilities, raising the number of Enhancers as well as the levels.

As for the reserve troops, Yue Zhong sent them through reformative and strict military training. Although these reserve troops could not yet fight, with a few months of training, they would start to resemble a proper army.

In the governing side, with the experience he gained from establishing a government in Longhai City, Yue Zhong picked out a few officials familiar with the running of affairs with the help of Bei Mingyang, and established a new cabinet of officers.

Bei Mingyang was an extremely capable and talented man. He was a billionaire industrialist prior to the apocalypse, who made his way up one step at a time. He was knowledgeable, talented, had the charisma to lead, and was extremely determined. This was why he could have slowly grown a small team into a faction of more than 50,000 people. If there were any weak points to be pointed out, it would be that his personal combat ability was weak, and was merely a Level 11 Enhancer.

Although Bei Mingyang was extremely outstanding, Yue Zhong did not select him as the head of the cabinet, instead, promoting Wei Ningguo into that position. While Wei Ningguo was indeed capable, he lacked ambition.

If Yue Zhong allowed Bei Mingyang to become the head of the cabinet, the moment Yue Zhong was gone, he might come up with ways to revolt, and wrestle the power away from Yue Zhong! As for Wei Ningguo, while he was strong, even if Yue Zhong was not around, he would not have any intention to betray him. In this world, the human heart is the hardest to fathom. Capable yet loyal men were extremely hard to find.

With such a capable and ambitious character like Bei Mingyang, Yue Zhong would only be able to leave the place without worry after he fully established an order from the ground up. In such an unstable period, Yue Zhong had no choice but to utilize Wei Ningguo who was loyal to him.

Yue Zhong's troops had cleared out the zombies in the towns that led to Yunlong County in the southwest direction for an entire week, and had no choice but to return to Tianxin District.

"It's starting to snow!!" In Tianxin District, within a villa, Yue Zhong was looking at the skies, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky. He stretched out his hand, as a particular snow flake landed on his palm and dissolved into a small drop of water.

Yue Zhong gazed at the drop of water, and heaved a long sigh.

"Master! Why are you sighing? Isn't the snow very beautiful? It actually is my first time seeing snow!" Beside Yue Zhong, the beautiful voice of Ming Jiajia sounded.

Yue Zhong turned to look at her, and saw that she was dressed in thick cotton clothing, wearing gloves, her face flushed red from the cold, and her entire being looking as though she was an extremely cute cotton doll.

Ming Jiajia was currently looking at the pure white snow, her face full of excitement. She had grown up in the south, and it was the first time she actually saw real snow.

Yue Zhong looked back at the pretty snowscape and said heavily: " We have been living in Guangxi and are used to the warm weather. Places that snow are actually rare. Tianxin District itself had not experienced snow in the past few decades. Even if it snowed, it wasn't that heavy. It is obvious that the current climate has changed and become stranger. With the onset of such strange weather, to us humans, it's unclear if it will be a good or bad thing! However, in this coming winter, we will definitely face a number of deaths from the cold!"

The current weather outside had dropped to -4 C, and this *1 weather had already persisted for an entire week. Outside, there was snow everywhere, and roads were blocked.

When Yue Zhong had conquered Tianxin District and Jingxi City, he had obtained a large number of warm clothing for the cold. Even then, in just this week, they had already lost 20 survivors who froze to death. *2 Almost everyone was cooped up at home now, shivering uncontrollably.

If Yue Zhong brought the people now to the hills and hid within caves, a sudden snowstorm would be enough to rob the lives of many of them.

Under such harsh cold, the various troops under Yue Zhong had returned to either Jingxi City or Tianxin District and were conducting their own training within cover. The operations to hunt for resources and killing zombies came to a halt.

"Achoo!!" Ming Jiajia suddenly sneezed in a cute manner.

"Go back in!" Yue Zhong ruffled Ming Jiajia's hair and said fondly.

With regards to the problem of the weather, Yue Zhong had no means of changing anything. Although he wanted sorely to bring troops and deal with Wuyan Hong, he could only wait out the winter now. Otherwise, before he even reached the battlefront, he would lose his troops to the cold.

Yue Zhong brought Ming Jiajia towards the most luscious villa within Tianxin District.

"Welcome back Master!" Yue Zhong brought Ming Jiajia and had just entered the villa when he saw 2 rows of beautiful ladies in a half bow, speaking in unison.

Yue Zhong looked at them with a slight amazement as he smiled and said: "Not bad!"

*3

After conquering Tianxin District, Yue Zhong had kept himself busy by training the troops and establishing the new government, while training himself as well. There was no time to truly go home, and had always slept in the office. This was the first time in a long while that he had gone to a home to relax.

龙云县: Yunlong County is in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture located in Yunnan Province, China.

Chapter 370 – Beauty

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

When Yue Zhong had conquered Tianxin District, he had cleaned up the incumbent factions. He killed the leaders of the various factions that still stood against him, while the soldiers under them were thrown into the Scum Battalion as cannon fodder.

During the process, Yue Zhong had obtained a number of beautiful ladies, and these 12 maids were the final choices of a selection.

"Master, welcome home!" Right at this time, a top beauty appeared in front of Yue Zhong, dressed in a clean white dress, showing her long slender legs and fair skin. Her lips were lush and teeth perfect, while her long hair was straight and black. Her entire demeanor exuded a certain charm and she smiled as she greeted Yue Zhong.

With the appearance of this beauty, the other 12 ladies seemed to pale in comparison.

Yue Zhong eyed the beauty for awhile before asking directly: "Why do you look familiar?"

Hearing his words, the 12 maids revealed a strange expression on their faces.

Ming Jiajia eyed the beauty in white, her eyes filled with veneration and admiration: "Master!! She is Su Xueling! The main actress of countless films, she's known to be the successor to the queen of films Liu Zixuan. She's a well-known film and television star."

Ming Jiajia was also an ordinary girl before the apocalypse, and had her idols and dreams as well. The Su Xueling happened to be one of her biggest idols.

Su Xueling revealed a bright and sweet smile, as she spoke in her melodious voice: "Master! I'm Su Xueling."

Su Xueling had been a proud and slightly wilful celebrity prior to the apocalypse. If it was before the world changed, she wouldn't even have any interaction with a common person like Yue Zhong, but now she had no choice but to lower her head, and to express her subservience to gain his favour.

Su Xueling had experienced first hand the problems of the current world. Her looks had attracted alot of dangerous attention, and if it were not for Bei Mingyang's protection, she could have become the high-quality toy for the leaders of other factions, to be played with and thrown around.

Bei Mingyang had constantly protected Su Xueling. Of course, it was mainly because of the friendship between her and his own daughter. On the other hand, she could be used as a bargaining chip with another strong person. Heroes naturally went with beauties, and with a beauty on hand to control any male experts, it was a move that Bei Mingyang often used.

However, before Bei Mingyang had even got to use her, Yue Zhong had defeated him, and the various resources owned by him fell to Yue Zhong. Su Xueling hence became one of Yue Zhong's spoils of war.

"Hi Big Brother! I'm Ning Ruozi!" Another girl with a head full of black hair and fair skin stepped out while greeting Yue Zhong. She had an exquisite look and was smiling brightly, looking as cute as an angel, and looked to be about only 11 or 12.

Yue Zhong had no woman beside him all along, and was seen bringing Ming Jiajia this loli everywhere he battled. His subordinates hence thought to offer Ning Ruozi this loli that was even more beautiful than Ming Jiajia to Yue Zhong. *

"Little vixen!" Ming Jiajia took one glance at Ning Ruozi, and her face turned grim, as she muttered under her breath. As a girl, she could also feel the charm and cuteness of Ning Ruozi. Although she herself was beautiful, when compared to this angel-like person, she was definitely not as eye-catching.

"I'm Ning Yuxin!" A tall woman with a short hairdo,voluptuous figure, fair skin and perfect face stepped out in front of Ning Ruozi, blocking her from Yue Zhong, as she stared apathetically at Yue Zhong.

Another bespectacled lady stepped forward. Her hair was tied up high, her face paddled with makeup, and she had an alluring figure, yet her defined features exuded a sternness, and she looked to be 27-28, giving off a mature charm as she was decked in a set of housekeeping apparel. She spoke out: "How do you do, Master Yue Zhong? I'm Zheng Yaqin, and was assigned by Wei Ningguo Mayor Wei to be your housekeeper."

Su Xueling, Ning Ruozi, Ning Yuxin were selected by people at the behest of Wei Ningguo to serve Yue Zhong. As for Zheng Yaqin, she was specially selected to help look after the household for Yue Zhong.

"Hi everybody!" Yue Zhong smiled at these 4 beauties, before walking into his room.

In the room, there was a stove burning, and the outside cold could not affect the cosiness of the room. Only someone like Yue Zhong could get to enjoy the luxury of open heating. This was the benefit of being a leader. Yue Zhong fought valiantly and he would not decline such treatment hypocritically.

Yue Zhong began taking off his coats, and 2 of the maids came in, as they helped him out of it, before hanging it by the side.

Yue Zhong and Ming Jiajia then walked towards the dining area.

On the round dinner table, there were various plates of seafood, wild vegetables, desserts as well as Type 2 Mutant Beast meat that had been prepared by chefs.It all looked extremely sumptuous.

Ming Jiajia, Su Xueling, Ning Ruozi and Ning Yuxin all sat down, as they started to dig in.

Zheng Yaqin stood by Yue Zhong side like a straight rod.

At the sides of the table, the maids stood in 2 rows, and the atmosphere gave Yue Zhong an uncomfortable sense of being like a mafia boss in the pre-apocalypse days.

Yue Zhong looked at the mature yet cold Zheng Yaqin and said: "Yaqin, join us and eat!"

Zheng Yaqin maintained her stern and cold demeanor as she rejected: "Master! This goes agaisnt the contract! I'm your housekeeper, and have no right to eat with you!"

Yue Zhong chuckled, and did not pursue the matter.

Yue Zhong had a copy of the documents pertaining to Zheng Yaqin. She was a graduate from Cambridge and was proficient in Russian, Japanese, English, French and German, and had received the most elite of training as a housekeeper. Before the apocalypse had set in, she had just been selected by a billionaire, and was ready to become a senior stewardess with annual income of 400,000. She had received the strictest of trainings and abided by a professional set of conduct, hence Yue Zhong did not force her against her rules.

"Who should I enjoy?" Yue Zhong turned his head as his eyes travelled across the table, taking in the 4 beauties around him.

Ever since he was sent to Vietnam by that Nether Beast, he had been kept busy by warfare, governance, to exert control and total dominion, without a single moment of rest.

With the winter about to set in, and snow having blocked off most of the paths, military affairs had been put on hold. The new government had also been established. Both Jingxi City and Tianxin District are under his control. With time to spare, he could now appreciate the beauties in front of him.

Yue Zhong's gaze fell on Ming Jiajia, before he quickly turned his gaze to the other girls. Although his relationship with her was the closest, she was truly too young.

Yue Zhong's gaze then fell to Ning Ruozi for all of 3 seconds, before moving to and fro between Ning Yuxin and Su Xueling.

Between Su Xueling and Ning Yuxin, one was a huge star, the other, a beloved daughter of a magnate. Both had the extreme qualities of beauties, and few men could withstand their attractiveness.

"My charms are truly attractive!!" Su Xueling had been someone who mixed around before the apocalypse, and was sensitive to Yue Zhong's current passionate gaze, and could not help but feel proud of herself. However, she was reminded that if she was chosen, she had to sleep with Yue Zhong, and this led her to feel unsettled, and she felt complicated.

Ning Yuxin was also unsettled by Yue Zhong's gaze. Prior to the apocalypse, she was an extremely proud woman. With her perfect looks and grades, coupled with exercise and an excellent family background, she was the object of affection of countless suitors. She had always been on the search for the Prince Charming of her life, and to fall in love truly dramatically. She was extremely unwilling to be with Yue Zhong.

"Seems like my charms are non-existent!" Yue Zhong was perceptive as well, and could detect the slight shudder from the 2 beauties, it was obvious that they were not willing to be with him, and it caused him to lose interest.

Yue Zhong then said indifferently: "Su Xueling, Ning Yuxin, the both of you can move out tomorrow!"

With hs words, it seemed like a bomb had went off in the hearts of Su Xueling and Ning Yuxin, causing them to turn pale.

"Wha…..why! Master…..did we….do something…wrong?" Su Xueling could not help but stammer, as her expression turned to one of tears, her eyes red as she looked pitifully at Yue Zhong.

Ning Yuxin also looked at Yue Zhong, her entire body having turned stiff.

Outside, it was extremely hard to get by, and both of them had seen the consequences of fighting for even a piece of bread. With their looks, if they were to land in a pervert's hands, they would be played till they were broken, before being eaten. Compared to the outside, there was food and drinks here, and they were taken care off, it was almost paradise. Who knew how many vied to be in this position that Su Xueling and Ning Yuxin had, and how many wished they could exchange places with them.

Yue Zhong continued apathetically: "I know you guys don't want to be with me! I don't like to force upon others. Relax, after you leave the villa, I will get Wei Ningguo to arrange other jobs for you."

Yue Zhong had the entire faction under his control, and was responsible for almost 60,000 survivors, there were no shortages of beauties! Even without Su Xueling or Ning Yuxin, he would definitely be able to find other beautiful girls to serve him.

Su Xueling could not help but reply hastily: "No!! No!! It's not like that!! It's not that I'm unwilling! I am willing! Master!! It was just that when you looked at me earlier, I became a little nervous."

* Yue Zhong, the misunderstood pedo.

Kun -The author truly likes to describe the female characters with black hair, fair skin, long legs, nice body.

Kun -Anyone know what happened to Chen Yao? I seem to have forgotten what happened to her after they arrived back in China.

Chapter 371 – Dong Ling

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

Ning Yuxin on the other hand, remained pale, as she stood there ashened, not saying anything. She was originally unwilling to serve Yue Zhong, and was sent here under Wei Ningguo's orders. Although she had learnt some Taekwondo in the past, in the face of guns and knives and experts, it was practically useless.

Yue Zhong glanced at Ning Yuxin and Su Xueling and understood their mindset, as he smiled at Su Xueling and said: "Then you can stay!"

Yue Zhong then looked at Ning Yuxin and said: "As for you, Ning Yuxin. Don't worry, after you leave the villa, I will get Wei Ningguo to assign you a job. As long as you work hard, you'll be able to forge a life for yourself with your own efforts."

Ning Yuxin bit her lips, and remained silent. Although she was unwilling to serve Yue Zhong, she knew that the outside world was much harsher, and the jobs outside were more menial. Without any actual skill set, she would find it hard to work to keep herself alive.

Right at this time, Ning Ruozi jumped down from her seat and pounced into Yue Zhong's arms as she revealed a pleading face, her big eyes looking at Yue Zhong:" Big Brother!! Big Brother!! Don't chase my sister away! Please don't chase her away! Ruozi will listen to Brother's words! Regardless of what you want me to do I will do. Please don't chase Sister away! In this world, other than Big Brother, I only have Sister as family! Ruozi will treat Big Brother well, just don't chase Sister away!"

"No!! I can't leave here! If I leave! Who will protect Ruozi?"

Ning Yuxin saw Ning Ruozi pleading Yue Zhong profusely in his arms, and her heart trembled, as she walked up and lowered her head and pride, as her eyes turned red. She pleaded with gritted teeth: "Master! I'm willing to serve you!! Please let me stay!!"

Yue Zhong eyed the cute and loveable Ning Ruozi, as he pinched her cheeks, and the sensation of her skin felt extremely good in his fingers. He then eyed Ning Yuxin and said indifferently: "Sure, you can stay!"

Ning Ruozi then smiled sweetly at Yue Zhong, before pouncing into his arms, and pointed at a cake and smiled coyly at Yue Zhong: "I want that!!"

"Ok!!" Yue Zhong then brought the dessert over.

Ning Ruozi opened her mouth, putting on an expression of 'feed me'.

Yue Zhong could not resist that adorable girl, and cut a piece of cake and fed her.

"Delicious!!" Ning Ruozi ate the cake and revealed an expression of bliss.

"So refreshing!" Yue Zhong was also blown away by her cute antics, and he fed her like a mother hen, cutting pieces and delivered them into her mouth. He watched her cute expressions, and felt the fatigue and stress from the constant battles and warfare wash away.

"Little vixen!!" Ming Jiajia watched Yue Zhong feed Ning Ruozi, and her eyes were filled with jealousy. She wanted to be spoiled like that by Yue Zhong as well.

"Lolicon!!"

"Seems like the leader likes lolis!"

The females present saw the scene, and their eyes flashed with a strange glint.

After dinner, Yue Zhong and the rest went to a sofa and sat down.

Yue Zhong pondered for awhile before asking Su Xueling: "Xueling! Both you and Bei Mingyang came from Nanning. What's the situation there now? Do you know?"

Yue Zhong's home was in Nanning. It had almost been a year since the apocalypse first set in, and he did not know if his family members were still alive or not. He was a little afraid of knowing what had happened there, but at the same time, he was desperate for some information.

Su Xueling hesitated awhile before replying with a slightly difficult expression: "Bei Mingyang and I had escaped from Nanning and had not had any communications with anyone there since. Unfortunately we're not sure about the ongoings there as well. I'm sorry Master!"

"It's ok!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with disappointment, and softly sighed. Jingxi City and Tianxin District had fallen into his hands, and regardless of any enemies now, he possessed some form of power. Yet, all he wanted to know was the current plight of his parents.

"I know!!" Right at this time, Ning Yuxin suddenly spoke out, as she gazed at Yue Zhong: "I know about the survivors at Nanning."

Yue Zhong's eyes brightened in anxiety: "Oh!! Say it quickly!!"

Ning Yuxin gathered her thoughts, before saying solemnly: "I heard that after the world changed, a large number of the survivors in Nanning escaped towards Guilin City. The government of Nanning and the nearby army in Guilin gathered and captured Guilin, and has established a rather large survivor base camp there."

"If it's like that, I have hope!!" Yue Zhong immediately stood up excitedly when he heard the news, and started to pace about. He had an expression of worry, as he muttered to himself: "I still have hope! No! It's already been a year!!"

Ming Jiajia looked at Yue Zhong who had become agitated, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes. She had never seen Yue Zhong so lost before, even when facing Wuyan Hong, he had never shown fear or apprehension. Everytime he did something, he was swift and resolute.

Yue Zhong stopped pacing, as he called a maid over:" Is the hot water in the pool ready?"

The nearest pretty maid smiled gently and replied: "It's already prepared Master!"

Zheng Yaqin, as Head Maid, expected the maids to always present a smile to their master. If they could not do it, they would be punished, even dismissed from their position.

Yue Zhong nodded slightly, then walked towards the bathhouse.

In this villa, there was a huge luxurious bath of about 30 sqm built, and the moment Yue Zhong entered the pool, he saw 2 beauties kneeling by the pool in maid attire.

The 2 ladies smiled at Yue Zhong and asked: "Master, would you like us to serve and bathe you?"

Yue Zhong waved: "You are all dismissed! I would like to be alone today!"

The 2 pretty maids thus dismissed themselves.

Yue Zhong took one step into the hot water, and submerged himself in it, as his blood started to heat up.

"Maybe they're still alive! I want to go to them!! I must go to them!" The heat churned within Yue Zhong's body, as he contemplated and was anxious to find his parents. He had left home for more than a year already, and in this new apocalyptic world, a year's worth of time could be the difference between life and death, and he truly wanted to leave for Guilin City now, but was afraid that he might receive the news of their passing when he reached there. This sort of suspense was causing him turmoil, precisely because he held his parents in high regard.

Right at this time, a fair-skinned female with chestnut hair and a towel wrapped around her explosive figure stroded into the pool, bringing with her a fragrant scent as she came to Yue Zhong's side.

Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as he saw the incoming girl, who was extremely beautiful, and his eyes flashed. He said a little gloomily: "Didn't I order you guys to be dismissed? Why are you disobedient?"

Under the stormy gaze of Yue Zhong, the body of the girl with chestnut hair trembled uncontrollably, as she pondered a while, before loosening the towel, as it dropped into the pool, revealing a youthful and vibrant body. She was also endowed with a pair of incredibly fair and full breasts.

The girl hugged Yue Zhong, as she spoke in a slightly shaky voice: "Master! I can feel your anxiety. Please use my body to release your tension!!"

When the girl entered Yue Zhong's embrace, he could smell a mix of body shower and her own fragrance, and he could feel her soft and delicate body with his own.

Something stirred in his loins, and coupled with the troubled mood that he was in, he immediately pushed the voluptuous girl to the side of the pool, and penetrated her in one swift motion.

"Oh!!" The girl let out a moan of agony, and at the place where the two of them joined together, blood could be seen dripping into the pool.

Yue Zhong seemed to turn into a beast, and was turned on by the atmosphere, as he thrusted furiously, grabbing onto the lamb-like girl, and pumped her with all his might.

The chestnut hair beauty kept hugging Yue Zhong, accepting his violence and restlessness with a soft embrace.

After they had finished, the girl collapsed in his arms, as though she was broken, and she gasped for breath.

Yue Zhong hugged the girl, his heart free of the tension he had felt earlier, as he asked her gently: "What's your name? Why did you do that?"

"I'm called Dong Ling! Wang Dajun killed my entire family. I had sworn then, whoever killed him, I would dedicate my entire life to him. Master, you had killed Wang Dajun, and I, Dong Ling, am willing to serve as your slave for my whole life." Dong Ling's hands were wrapped around Yue Zhong, as she gazed into his eyes with extreme tenderness, and began kissing him deeply on the lips.

"Wang Dajun?" Yue Zhong thought back to the report on the person. Wang Dajun was truly a person of evil deeds, and when Yue Zhong had assaulted Tianxin District, he had executed the various leaders who had retaliated, he didn't expect that his actions had actually gained him the gratitude and heart of a beauty. *

Right at this time, the beautiful loli Ning Ruozi also hopped into the pool wrapped in a towel as she grabbed onto Yue Zhong's arms and flirted: "Big Brother!! I want it too! You must kiss me too!"

On another side, Ming Jiajia was apparently not willing to step back, as she grabbed onto Yue Zhong's other hand, and looked at him silently and pitifully.*

南宁: Nanning, a city in southern China near the Vietnam border, is capital of the Guangxi region

贵宁市: Guilin is a city in southern China known for its dramatic landscape of limestone karst

Chapter 372 – Ning Ruozi!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

On the left was the bubbly Ning Ruozi, on the right was the silent yet capable Ming Jiajia with extraordinary skills, and in his embrace, was Dong Ling with her extremely hot figure. Yue Zhong was literally enveloped in bliss and the fragrance of the feminine scents. It was almost heaven for him.

"Be good!!" Yue Zhong ruffled both Ning Ruozi and Ming Jiajia on their little heads, and coaxed them.

Ning Ruozi broke into an angelic smile and said: "Hehe, I was praised by Big Brother!"

On the other side, Ming Jiajia was slightly upset that Yue Zhong still treated her like a kid, yet she continued to hug his hand tightly.

Right at this time, Su Xueling and Ning Yuxin also entered the pool with white bath towels wrapped around them.

"Ruozi! Come over here!" Ning Yuxin saw how close Ning Ruozi was sticking to Yue Zhong, and she turned sullen, pulling Ning Ruozi from Yue Zhong's side. She knew her youinger sister was extremely adorable, and was worried that Yue Zhong would covet her.

Ning Ruozi put up some resistance against Ning Yuxin and struggled: "No!! Sister, I want to hear Big Brother and his stories!! Sister! Let go of me!!"

Ning Yuxin's face turned wooden, as she mustered her big-sister voice and said sternly: "Ruozi, be obedient! Otherwise I will get angry!"

Ning Ruozi scrunched up her face, and said in a long voice: "Yeeeeeeeess~~!"

Su Xueling sat by the pool, and looked at Dong Ling in Yue Zhong's embrace, her eyes flashing with a complicated gaze. She was a little jealous of Dong Ling gaining Yue Zhong's affection, yet at the same time, a small part of her heaved a sigh of relief.

Ming Jiajia who was still on Yue Zhong's right side suddenly asked: "Master, do you want to go to Guilin City?"

Ming Jiajia had followed Yue Zhong all the way from Vietnam to China, as they slaughtered their way through, and it was the first time she saw Yue Zhong so unsettled. Her strong perception allowed her to guess that there must be people important to Yue Zhong at Guilin City.

Yue Zhong was silent for a while, before replying slowly: "En! I must definitely make a trip there in the near future!"

If Yue Zhong was still at Long Hai City, there were over a million zombies blocking the way, coupled with the fact that there were various Mutant Beasts around, and he still did not know the way to Guilin City. Even if he had wanted to head back, it was next to impossible. However, with him being at Guangxi now, the location wasn't too far off. He was decided on heading back, and if he could, he would try to fly there.

Ming Jiajia hugged Yue Zhong's hand tightly, and she looked at Yue Zhong with those huge eyes and said: "I shall go with you!"

"En!" Yue Zhong tousled Ming Jiajia's hair again as he smiled.

Ming Jiajia had already undergone tough training, and her body constitution was considered above the elite forces of before the apocalypse. She could operate various weapons as well, and could summon the Shadow Wolves. Wherever Yue Zhong went, he liked to take Ming Jiajia along, because her skills complemented him and covered his weaknesses.

Yue Zhong's close-combat skills, survival abilities and destructive power were all tyrannical, however, in terms of scouting the enemy, he could not contend with Ming Jiajia and her Shadow Wolves.

When they had entered Tianxin District, without the help of Ming Jiajia, Yue Zhong had no way of quickly flushing out the soldiers that were hiding. That was to say, Ming Jiajia played the role of a biological radar, and could pinpoint the locations to Yue Zhong, allowing him to execute his abilities perfectly.

Ning Ruozi came back and hugged Yue Zhong, with her crystal clear eyes staring at him as she puted: "Brother!! Brother!! Bring Ruozi along as well!! Ruozi wants to follow Big Brother!!"

Yue Zhong looked at the adorable Ning Ruozi, and immediately turned her down: "No way!! You don't have any special abilities. Bringing you would be too dangerous!"

Ning Ruozi looked at Yue Zhong with tearful eyes as she pleaded: "Big Brother!! Ruozi heard that Big Brother have methods to turn people into Evolvers. If Big Brother do that to Ruozi, won't it be safe for Ruozi to tag along?"

Hearing those words from Ning Ruozi, other than Ming Jiajia, the gazes from the other girls immediately fell on Yue Zhong.

The fact that Yue Zhong had the ability to help a person become an Evolver, almost everyone from Jingxi City and Tianxin District knew about it. Yue Zhong did not stop the news from spreading, because with this knowledge, his subordinates would work harder and be loyal, so they could stand a chance to become an Evolver with great power.

Yue Zhong ruffled Ning Ruozi's head and said mildly: "It's true, I do have a treasure that does that. However, it's too precious, and I can't give it to you now."

The juice from the Snake Birth Fruit was too valuable, every single vial could result in an Evolver. Yue Zhong would only bestow it upon those who were loyal and willing to die for him. Initially, he had no choice but to turn Ming Jiajia into an Evolver as the situation called for it due to the lack of trusted personnel.

Ning Ruozi crunched up her face, and pouted as she ran from Yue Zhong's side: "Ruozi's angry!! Big Brother is a bad person! Ruozi will ignore you!!"

Yue Zhong watched Ning Ruozi, as he chuckled and did not say much. He continued to soak himself for a while, before carrying Dong Ling and leaving.

Su Xueling also stood up not long after, and headed outside.

The moment Su Xueling left, Ning Yuxin's face turned wooden, as she lectured Ning Ruozi: "Ruozi! What's with you today? If you continue to be like that, what if he is overcome by lust?"

The cute smile on Ning Ruozi's face vanished, as she revealed a look of indifference and maturity that did not fit her age, using that child-like voice of hers to reply: "Sister! We're already in his hands, if he wants to do so, we can do nothing. Life here is pretty good! If it was outside, if we fell into some other perverts' hands, then it would truly be a fate worse than death."

Ning Ruozi thought back to a scene where she saw a few men crowding around a pot with kids inside, and she shuddered involuntarily, which had nothing to do with the cold. She gritted her teeth as a resolute look flashed across her face, saying: "If we want to live on in this apocalyptic world, then we need strength. I will definitely control Yue Zhong, and have him under my heel. That way, us sisters will get to live safely and securely."

Ning Yuxin retorted in anger: "What if he violates you? Men are biologically wired to be unable to control themselves!! You're playing with fire!!"

Ning Ruozi replied indifferently: "Then let him be! Ever since we came to this villa, I've already prepared myself. We weak women would be violated by others, even if it's not by him."

Ning Yuxin shuddered with rage, and slapped Ning Ruozi on her face furiously, as she felt indignant about her sister's nonchalant attitude towards their plight.

The slap landed hard on Ning Ruozi's face, causing a red palm print to appear on it.

Ning Yuxin saw the imprint on her sister's face, and her heart ached, as she hugged her tightly, and cried out: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault!! It's my fault!!"

Ning Ruozi had tears in her eyes, as she hugged Ning Yuxin back and consoled her: "You were not wrong! I didn't know my limits. Rest assured sister, Ruozi will definitely protect you! You're after all the only family I've got left. Set your mind at ease sister, Ruozi is the cutest loli on earth,.Yue Zhong being a lolicon, would not be able to resist my charms."

Ning Yuxin hugged Ning Ruozi tightly: "No! Ruozi! It should be me protecting you! Don't worry, I won't let any harm come to you!"

"Let me protect you!! Whatever the cost, I, as your sister, will protect you!" Ning Yuxin hugged her only family tightly, as a resolute look flashed in her eyes.

Ning Ruozi kept silent, and the 2 beauties hugged quietly for awhile, as warm feelings surged between the 2.

"Oh right! Ruozi, just now you called Yue Zhong Big Brother, wasn't that too mushy!"

"Eh~! That's not true! Guys like that oh! Sister!"

Ning Yuxin was puzzled: "En? Is that true?"

"You have been too caught up with studying, that's why you haven't been in love, what a bummer!!"

Ning Yuxin grabbed Ning Ruozi's cheeks and squeezed: "Little brat, you're too mature!!"

Ning Ruozi let out a hamster-like squeak: "No Sister!! Ruozi's undefeatable face would be damaged!!"

"Where did you learn this type of nonsense?"

"Of course through manhwas~! Once we go back, I'll introduce you to 2 of the romance type! That way you can also understand men better! Hehe!!"

Without Yue Zhong around, Ning Ruozi did not put on any pretense of her earlier cuteness, instead she was truly wearing a smile. She who had gone through so much, knew that being able to survive with your family in this world, was the greatest joy.

Early the next morning, Yue Zhong was still in slumber, when a cute female's voice resounded in his ear.

"Bro….ther! It's time….to wake up, Brother!! If you're still not up, I'm going to….take away the blanket!!"

The female voice that sounded in his ear was trembling and felt forced. Yue Zhong opened his eyes slowly, and saw Ning Yuxin dressed in white socks, white shirts and a white mini skirt, her face flushed red, as she stood there.

"Seems like….it seems like, if I don't…do this…it won't work!! Bro…ther, you pervert!" Ning Yuxin saw that Yue Zhong had opened his eyes, and forced down her sense of shame and fought against the urge to run, as she lowered her head to kiss him on the lips.*

Chapter 373 – Move Out!

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

After a light kiss, Ning Yuxin was like a terrified little doe, her face flushed extremely red, as she looked at Yue Zhong whose eyes were wide open in shock, as she stammered out in embarrassment: "Like this….you should be satisfied!! Bro….ther! Time to get up!"

Yue Zhong stared at the once-cold Ning Yuxin who had just exhibited the characteristics of a 2D persona from manhwas, and did not look away. Her entire uncomfortable demeanor and the unease of her earlier actions, gave her an interesting sense of charm.

"If you still…don't get up…you're going….to…be late! Bro…..ther!" Ning Yuxin was feeling increasingly shy as she was stared at by Yue Zhong, stammering her words out with difficulty.

"Hahahaha!!!!" Ning Ruozi had just entered Yue Zhong's chambers, and saw her sister's embarrassed and awkward behaviour, and could not help but hug her belly and roared out in laughter!!

"This is bad!!!!" Ning Yuxin was laughed at by her sister, and feeling faint, she dashed out of the room, and escaped!

Ning Ruozi watched her sister run away, as she put on her angelic smile and jumped beside Yue Zhong, pecking him lightly on the cheeks, and said: "Good morning, Big Brother!"

Yue Zhong ruffled Ning Ruozi's head and replied: "Morning! Go out first! I'm going to change!"

Ning Ruozi's bright eyes sparkled, as she laughed sweetly: "I don't mind! You can change in front of me, it's ok~!"

Yue Zhong flicked her forehead: "It's not ok with me!"

"Che!" Ning Ruozi hugged her head, as she glared at Yue Zhong adorably, before bolting out the room as well.

"Brother! This time, if you're heading to Guilin City, please bring me along!" At the dining table, Ning Yuxin brought the matter up.

Ning Yuxin was an intelligent girl, and knew that there were no prior form of interaction between her and Yue Zhong. Only through constant interaction and the experience of situations together would their relationship improve. Now, she could only make use of her looks and coyness to earn his adoration, but not become an important person to him!

Ming Jiajia was the perfect example who had went through thick and thin with Yue Zhong, and had naturally become someone important to him.

Yue Zhong gazed at Ning Yuxin and asked slowly: "This time, the trip to Guilin City will be fraught with unknown dangers! In fact, there might be constant trouble along the way! I can't guarantee your safety! Are you certain you want to go with me?"

Ning Yuxin looked at Yue Zhong with a resolute gaze and replied: "Yes! I want to go to Guilin City with you! I know English, Vietnamese, Thai, Malay and Japanese. I'm also trained in Karate and Taekwondo, small-time thugs aren't my match. I'm capable of protecting myself!"

Ning Yuxin had been the daughter of a chairman of a multinational corporation, and their main clientele were Southeast Asian countries. Ning Yuxin had been groomed to take over the company, and hence, she had picked up 4 different languages, and learnt different forms of self-defence, and could be considered as an elite member of society.

Yue Zhong took a long glance at Ning Yuxin for a while, before saying: "Fine!! I'll bring you along!"

Ning Yuxin heaved a sigh of relied: "Thanks Brother!"

Ning Ruozi also hugged Yue Zhong's arm as she tried to ask him coyly: "Big Brother!! I want to go too!! Bring me along, will you?"

Yue Zhong looked at Ning Ruozi and his expression turned wooden: "No! You can't go! No matter how much you try to beg! Continue this and I'll spank your bottom!"

Ning Ruozi was still a delicate girl after all, and could be frozen to death if not careful. Yue Zhong was naturally not willing to bring her out.

Unless it was Yaoyao, or Ming Jiajia, who were Evolvers, Yue Zhong would not allow the other younger girls to endanger themselves!

Ning Ruozi scrunched her face again, as she pouted and retorted: "Petty miser! I shall not care about you!"

Su Xueling seemed like she wanted to speak, but she hesitated, and in the end, keeping silent. She was good-looking, but had never taken on any form of self defence lessons, and if she followed along, she would just be a burden. When she thought about the journey that was sure to span over a few hundred li, she could not say anything.

In this world, a few hundred li were still considered long, and there were bound to be Mutant Beasts along the way, as well as hordes of zombies. If they were to encounter any behemoths, their vehicle troops might be even wiped out.

In an office of Long Hai City.

Chi Yang was currently facing the officials that were seated around and said: "There's news of Yue Zhong!! It came from Guangxi! Yue Zhong's still alive!!"

"Leader Yue's still alive! That's great!"

"As expected!! Leader Yue is still alive! I knew he couldn't be dead!"

The entire meeting hall erupted in joyous cheers, as the dampened mood and low spirits from Yue Zhong's disappearance washed away. There were a few ambitious characters who also quelled the schemes in their hearts when they heard the news.

Lu Wen couldn't help but ask: "Where's Yue Zhong right now?"

Guo Yu who was sitting beside Lu Wen also turned her gaze towards Chi Yang waiting for his answer.

Chi Yang continued without missing a beat: "Yue Zhong is currently at Tianxin District near the borders of China and Vietnam. He had already conquered it, and established a camp of more than 60,000 survivors!"

"Holy shit!! He really is our Leader Yue!! Too awesome!!" Da Gouzi sighed in awe.

"Yea!! He's really the best!" Chen Yan had a look of excitement as he said.

The various officials in Long Hai City sighed.

In the city base, they had the ammunitions manufacturing line up and running, and while it could not produce the ammo for the heavy weapons like cannons and tanks, they had no shortage of ammunition for the majority of their weapons. With that, after Yue Zhong had disappeared, they could only regain 2 other major cities, and the total survivors they absorbed amounted to about 4,000 people. Compared to Yue Zhong's progress, it was indeed a little miserable.

In truth, it had to do with the leadership style as well. Yue Zhong liked to advance constantly and conquer. Chi Yang, on the other hand, took comfort in stability and wasn't aggressive.

While Chi Yang held the reins of Long Hai City, he wasn't the true leader, and thus, whenever he wanted things to be done, there were minor obstructions along the way, hence, slowing the rate of progress. However, he was extremely sturdy and although Yue Zhong had been gone for some time, there were no major problems as a result of his leadership, and he didn't give the more ambitious characters any opportunity to pounce on.

Chi Yang eyed the people in front of him and commanded: "I shall announce, from now on, our next target will be regaining SY City! After the weather turns warmer, we shall immediately set for the Southwest direction, and clear a route between Yue Zhong and us! Everyone will have to work towards this single objective!"

"Yes!" The entire top brass were unison this time round, as they answered with vigor. It was a matter that had weighed heavily on them, and now, with him back, they were revitalized.

After the meeting was concluded, Chi Yang went to a window looking towards the southwest direction and gazed out silently. In the direction, there were his parents, as well as his unforgettable first love. However, he could only stay here and not look for them.

"Yue Zhong! I'm leaving them to you!" Chi Yan looked out at the harsh cold winds as he thought to himself silently.

The snowstorm in Tianxin District lasted an entire 2 weeks before coming to a stop, and warm sunlight finally broke through the clouds.

The moment the skies cleared, a vehicle fleet comprising of 6 jeeps, 4 resources trucks, an IFV, and 2 trucks full of nothing but fuel left Tianxin District, making their way towards the horizon.

On the journey this time, Yue Zhong brought Ming Jiajia, Zheng Minghe, Ning Yuxin, Luo Chifeng, Bai Xiaosheng and a few other experts. Wu Yin, Wei Ningguo and a few other capable generals of his were stationed at Tianxin District and Jingxi City to continue the fortifying of the bases and training of the troops.

Yue Zhong had brought only a handful of people with him, totaling 37. Even if these 37 died, it wouldn't impact Tianxin District or Jingxi City in any way.

Under the conditions where the weather was unpredictable, bringing a large number of troops was tantamount to suicide, as a snowstorm could easily wipe the entire troop out. A smaller team would find it easier to survive, furthermore, everyone that came with him was an expert, and their survival skills in the wild were naturally higher.

Bai Xiaosheng yawned out of boredom: "So boring!! Isn't there something exciting?"

Zheng Minghe glared at Bai Xiaosheng coldly: "Platoon Commander Bai! Keep quiet. We are recon soldiers! Loud noises will reveal our positions!"

Zheng Minghe did not view Bai Xiaosheng favourably. When Yue Zhong had launched the assault on Tianxin District, Bai Xiaosheng was Bei Mingyang's trump card and yet, he was useless. It was because he prioritized his lust over anything else, and when Yue Zhong had come knocking, Bai Xiaosheng was still lying in bed with his women and having a good sleep.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed conceitedly, as he patted Zheng Minghe's shoulder: "Old Zheng!! Don't worry!! Even if we reveal ourselves, it'll be ok! I will be responsible for killing those poor fools who find us! Just relax!"

Zheng Minghe's face darkened: "On the field, you'd better refer to me as Captain!!"

Bai Xiaosheng laughed nonchalantly: "Alright alright! Captain!! Captain, can you not be so rigid? Once we go back to Tianxin District, I'll introduce a few ladies to you ok! Let's engage in a 6p orgy! Hahaha!!"

Zheng Minghe's face was thoroughly black by now, and he did not continue talking, as he continued observing the front.

"Old Zheng! The women I know are all guaranteed high quality! I promise that they're the best of the best! Not a single one is below 70 points!" Bai Xiaosheng was like a piece of sticky candy that stuck on him and did not stop talking.

Just as Zheng Minghe was about to explode with anger, gunshots rang out from the distance!

"Shut up!" Zheng Minghe's expression changed, as he shot forwards on his own like an arrow towards the disturbance.

I just had to release two. The fanboy and loli chapters made me bleed from my eyes and cuticles. Like…. Straight zombie halloween costume look here…

Chapter 374 – Heaven Sect!

Translated by: Kun

[Book 3: The South]

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes narrowed as well, as he jumped out of the figure, and shot forwards like an arrow. In just a space of 10 breaths, he managed to overtake Zheng Minghe and charged onto the battlefield.

Zheng Minghe was shocked in his heart as he rushed to Bai Xiaosheng's side: "So fast! No wonder he was termed as Tianxin District's number 1 expert!"

They discovered that there were currently 2 factions of people engaged in slaughter at a distance in the snow-white field. One of which were people dressed in all sorts of tattered clothing, the other dressed entirely in black, their heads wearing some strange hats.

The 1st faction with the assorted clothings were carrying various guns, while those in black were mainly wielding machetes and other weapons.

Both were fighting furiously, and the black-dresssed faction were being overwhelmed, as they retreated continuously, and a few of their women and kids were abandoned, before being taken by the militants in tattered clothes.

When those gun-wielding militants caught those women and kids, they would immediately laugh out cruelly, and tie them up, before continuing their assault on the other faction dressed in black.

Zheng Minghe gave an order to Bai Xiaosheng: "Stay here and observe! I'll go notify the leader!"

"There's no need! I alone will be more than enough for this bunch of thrash!" Bai Xiaosheng eyed the militants, the sides of his mouth curving in an arc, as he revealed a malevolent smile. He waved his hands, before a pair of green daggers appeared in his hands, and with just a step, he seemed to transform into a spectre as he shot forwards.

"Asshole!!" Zheng Minghe could not help but curse when Bai Xiaosheng blatantly ignored his orders. He despised those soldiers who did not give a hoot about military command on the battlefield.

"But! He's really fast!" Zheng Minghe observed that within a few breaths of time, Bai Xiaosheng had actually already reached the midst of the group of fighting over 300m away, and his heart involuntarily trembled. Bai Xiaosheng's speed was truly fearsome.

Having suddenly appeared in the midst of the gun-wielding militants, he slashed his daggers about in a mad frenzy.

The militants found either their throats slashed, or a nick at their chest, causing their hearts to bleed, and they fell to the ground in disbelief.

30 seconds!

In just 30 seconds, from appearing within the group of militants, Bai Xiaosheng had totally wiped out 16 members of the 19-strong group, leaving 3 alive. The remaining 3 immediately quailed in fear, as they threw their weapons down, raising their hands, afraid that their lives would be taken from them at any moment.

Zheng Minghe took all this in, his eyes flashing with a strange glint, as he thought silently: "Formidable!!"

Seeing that display of speed from Bai Xiaosheng, Zheng Minghe knew he wasn't Bai Xiaosheng's match, and there has to be at least a hundred elite soldiers to fire a cover of bullets, otherwise, ordinary soldiers would not be able to even catch up with his speed.

Bai Xiaosheng was an Agility-based Evolver, and he had reached Level 46, the moment he fully activated his speed, it would far surpass Yue Zhong's own. Based on this speed alone, he had been termed as the number 1 expert in Tianxin District.

Zheng Minghe looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and a thought passed in his mind: "Seems like Leader was worried that Wu Yin and the rest might not be able to handle this guy, that's why he brought him along!"

Zheng Minghe was truly on the mark, Yue Zhong was not ok with leaving such an expert at Tianxin District or Jingxi City when things have not yet stabilized.

If Yue Zhong was not around, and Bei Mingyang instigated Bai Xiaosheng to start a revolt, should the moment be right, their chances of success would definitely not be small. Hence, in the operation this time round, Yue Zhong had specifically brought many of the experts that used to be under Bei Mingyang.

On one hand, it was to bring them away from the 2 bases, on the other, he wanted to see if he could subdue them totally and win over their loyalty.

These experts had surrendered to Yue Zhong due to the difference in strength, but had yet to follow him wholeheartedly.

Soon after, Yue Zhong arrived with the rest of the fleet.

When Yue Zhong came to the scene, he saw the ground littered with corpses, and he frowned as he barked: "Any survivors?"

"Leader! These are the ones left alive!" Bai Xiaosheng kicked the 3 captives as he brought them in front of Yue Zhong.

When Bai Xiaosheng stood straight, his eyes could not help but roam over to Ning Yuxin and Ming Jiajia dressed in military wear beside Yue Zhong, and he blurted out: "What a pair of beauties with such heroic auras!! Leader, why don't you give me the loli? I'm willing to exchange 10 beauties for her."

"Shut up!" Yue Zhong's eyes turned cold, as he reached out for Bai Xiaosheng's neck with lightning speed.

Bai Xiaosheng was an Agility-based Evolver after all, and he was fully equipped with Agility-enhancing items. The moment Yue Zhong moved, he also reacted, his body tensed and poised, as though he was ready to launch his own counterattack.

At this moment, Yue Zhong's eyes retracted, and he activated the [Art of Fear, and the horrifying spiritual and illusionary attack blasted Bai Xiaosheng's consciousness relentlessly.

In that instant, Bai Xiaosheng was sent through years of torment, through various means like back-breaking, dismembering, being lit on fire, his heart carved out, even beheading. It caused his mental faculties to collapse.

"Illusion!!" Although Bai Xiaosheng was frivolous, he was after all an expert that had gone through countless battles. Right before he lost his mind completely, he managed to regain a little clarity, and bit his lips viciously, causing it to bleed, and the pain shaking his head clear, pulling himself out of the illusion with great difficulty.

The moment he managed to extract himself out from the illusion, he discovered his neck was already held in the vice-like grip of Yue Zhong's right hand. While Bai Xiaosheng's body was slightly tougher than ordinary people, as long as Yue Zhong squeezed a little harder, Bai Xiaosheng's neck would be crushed.

Yue Zhong's eyes were like ice-cold daggers without a hint of warmth, as though he wanted to pierce Bai Xiaosheng's heart as he said: "I don't like that tone and the kind of jokes you're making! If there is a next time, Bai Xiaosheng, don't blame me for being harsh!"

Bai Xiaosheng felt like he was being stared at by a beast filled with killing intent, and he replied with difficulty: "Yes! I understand!"

Yue Zhong's Spirit was reaching 165 points, and with a Spirit of more than 16 times that of a normal person, activating the [Art of Fear] on Bai Xiaosheng whose Spirit was much weaker took only 1 – 2 seconds. In a battle between experts, this 1 or 2 seconds could easily determine the victor.

Yue Zhong then released his grip, as he let go of Bai Xiaosheng's neck, before patting him on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Great work nonetheless! Since you like women, as long as you have the capability, there are plenty of beauties in this world. However, I do not wish to see you impeding my plans because of your lust. If it's like that, I'd rather send you to hell myself."

Bai Xiaosheng's neck immediately broke out in cold sweat, as he replied in an extremely honest and docile manner: "I got it!"

As an Evolver, Bai Xiaosheng possessed unparalleled combat power. He was full of himself as well, and disdained normal humans. He even looked down on Bei Mingyang, that was why for the majority of the time, he was involved more with women than assisting Bei Mingyang.

Bei Mingyang needed Bai Xiaosheng's power, and hence could only tolerate his idiosyncrasies. However, he never expected that Bai Xiaosheng would be so unreliable at the moment of crisis, and caused Tianxin District to fall into someone else's hands.

At first, Bai Xiaosheng could not care less that Tianxin District had switched leaders. He believed that with his power, even if the master had changed, they would not be able to do without him, and hence, he had not the slightest ounce of respect for Yue Zhong. However, now in just a single exchange, he had discovered the true might of this new leader, and he knew that if he did not get his act together, this new leader would easily cut off his head to be treated like a soccer ball.

Zheng Minghe saw Yue Zhong settling the issue of Bai Xiaosheng in one move, and his heart was filled with shock and awe: "Leader truly is unfathomable! He's too strong!"

"Holy shit! Even Bai Xiaosheng could not last more than a move! Leader truly is too fearsome!"

Seeing the proud and obstinate Bai Xiaosheng yielding to Yue Zhong, those who had followed Yue Zhong out of Tianxin District were filled with shock. They knew Yue Zhong was strong, but to what extent, they weren't sure. Seeing the top expert of Tianxin District being defeated at Yue Zhong's hands, they had finally understood just a little of what Yue Zhong was truly capable of.

Yue Zhong then came to the 3 captives and interrogated: "Who are you people?"

"Pei!!" One of the captives looked at him with hatred, as he spat out.

With a peng, Yue Zhong fired a shot from the Stinger that he pulled out. The captive's brain was blasted apart like a watermelon, and the red and white matter splattered onto the floor, as the headless corpse slumped to the ground lifelessly.

Seeing how ruthless Yue Zhong was, Bai Xiaosheng shuddered, and celebrated that he had not pushed this death god too far, otherwise his own brains might have been already blasted.

"Who are you people?" Yue Zhong aimed at the 2nd captive, his eyes cold as he drawled.

"I'll speak!! I'll speak!! Don't kill me!! I'll tell you everything!!" The captive was frightened to the point that he wet his pants, as he cried out and begged, before answering Yue Zhong's question: "I'm Lu Ningshui, a disciple of the Heaven Sect!! This time, we are out here on orders from Zheng Qiu, also known as Altar Lord Zheng, to capture these seedlings to be sacrificed to the Sect Leader!!"

The other captive immediately burst out and cursed Lu Ningshui: "Lu Ningshui! You traitor! You dare to betray the Sect, you will not get away with it, I curse you to all 18 levels of Hell, never to be reincarnated!!"

Yue Zhong furrowed his brows, as he glanced at the other stubborn captive, and handed a Tang Replica Sword to Lu Ningshui: "Chop his head off! You can live after that!"

"Go die!!" Lu Ningshui received the Tang Replica Sword, and struggled for awhile, before coming to a decision. Swinging the blade, he bellowed out as he sliced his comrade's head off. He then kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and proclaimed: "Lu Ningshui is willing to work for this Master, and plead that Master accepts this lowly one."

Yue Zhong eyed Lu Ningshui and immediately gave a command: "I'm Yue Zhong. From today onwards, you're part of my group. Tell me everything you know about the Heaven Sect!"

"Yes! Boss Yue Zhong!!" Lu Ningshui gritted his teeth, before revealing all that he knew to Yue Zhong, and was thorough with it.

Heaven Sect was founded by an expert called Linghu Xiangru. Lu Ningshui was unclear on his background, but knew that Linghu Xiangru possessed 3 strange abilities: a buddha light on his back, invulnerability as well as incantations.

With those 3 abilities, Linghu Xiangru had taken the teachings from Christianity, Buddhism and Taoism to found his own Heaven Sect, and proclaimed himself to be the Sect Leader. He called himself the Apostle of God and was sent here to walk amongst mortals and to save them. Those who believed in him would enter the Kingdom of God and have an immortal soul after death. As for his enemies, they would be banished to the 18 Levels of Hell, and would never reincarnate.

In such a world, this sort of religious influence had a huge attraction on those who had lost their faith. The moment the Heaven Sect was formed, it attracted many followers from all over the place, and it became an existence with over 8,000 followers. The scary thing was that, out of these 8,000 followers, 3,000 of them were true fanatics, and were willing to do anything for the Sect Leader, to the point of throwing their own lives for him.

In the post-apocalyptic world, the power of faith can be a fearsome strength indeed. Especially at the start of the apocalypse, there was the voice that claimed to be God, which proved the existence of God. This led to people with reasoning to lose their sense of rationality and joined the Heaven Sect.

Of the 19 people that came to capture the people from the other faction, 13 of them were fanatics. Lu Ningshui were one of the few that maintained his clarity. Although he knew that this Heaven Sect was unorthodox, for the sake of living, he continued to put on a farce of being a follower, and did their jobs for them.

Lu Ningshui's eyes flashed with dread as he continued: "Other than the Sect Leader Linghu Xiangru who has unfathomable strength, there are 8 Great Elders, 72 Law Protectors and 108 Altar Lords. Everyone of them are high levelled Enhancers, and have great strength as well!"

Yue Zhong asked: "What kind of weapons does the Heaven Sect have? Heavy weaponry?"

Lu Ningshui pondered for awhile, then replied: "There aren't many guns in the Heaven Sect, only about 200 to 300 old rifles. As for heavy weaponry, I have not seen any! There shouldn't be any!"

Yue Zhong nodded slightly, then turned towards another middle-aged man that was brought to him as he asked: "What about you people?"

"I'm Wu Shanshi! The head of the Nine Holes Camp. These people have been under my protection. Those bastards had attacked us with no forewarning and stole our rations, as well as kidnapping the women and kids! Those bastards!!" Wu Shanshi looked at Lu Ningshui, his eyes filled with hatred as he shouted out.

Chapter 375 – Grain Tree???

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

"You may go!!" After Yue Zhong heard what Wu Shanshi had to say, he pondered a while, before giving the signal to his subordinates aiming at the Nine Holes people, who then put their guns down. The women and children were also released to rejoin their families.

Bai Xiaosheng walked over in a relaxed manner and asked Yue Zhong while laughing: "Leader!! How about we go and decimate the Heaven Sect? Since they have over 8,000 members, there must be at least a dozen of beauties right? The most beautiful ones will naturally belong to Leader, as for the rest that don't suit your taste, I'll gladly take them off your hands!!"

Bai Xiaosheng was naturally strong, but had zero governing abilities, and only seeked to fulfill his desires. This was how Bei Mingyang had easily recruited him into his ranks, and became his top fighter. Even now that the leaders have changed, a leopard can't change its spot and he still lusted after women.

Yue Zhong replied indifferently: "No! The Heaven Sect has 8,000 members after all! If we want to eradicate them, we would need to spend a huge amount of time! We don't have that kind of time to waste. Shang Lun, adjust our route!"

The Heaven Sect was also nothing in Yue Zhong's eyes. Without any heavy weapons, Yue Zhong estimated that 5 tanks and an fully equipped infantry battalion would be enough to wipe them out.

If it wasn't for the uncertain weather, as well as the difficult progress for the troops, Yue Zhong would have deployed some people to wipe out this unorthodox sect.

Shang Lun replied: "Yes! Leader!"

The soldiers from the fleet then disembarked and gathered the weapons and resources from the corpses of the Heaven Sect members, and made preparations to leave.

When Wu Shanshi saw this, his face fell, and looked at Yue Zhong before he came before him and dropped to his knees. He started begging: "Sir!! I beg you, please save my tribesmen!! I'm kneeling and begging please!! Those animals took our people and will engage in blood sacrifice! We have lost over 30 over people to them, if you don't go and save them, they will definitely die at the hands of those bastards!"

Yue Zhong replied apathetically: "I'm very sorry! I don't have the time to spare! Since those animals have kidnapped your people, you guys should go save them yourselves!"

Yue Zhong only had the objective of rushing towards Guilin City on his mind now, and did not want to entangle with the Heaven Sect.

In this post-apocalyptic world, there were poor souls everywhere. If Yue Zhong were to help each and everyone of them seek justice, even till the day he died, he would not be able to solve every single problem. Furthermore, he had no relations with this Wu Shanshi, he wasn't willing to waste time for a stranger.

Wu Shanshi gritted his teeth, if someone of his calibre were to head to Heaven Sect, he would fall before saving anybody. Only the young man in front of him had the capability to rescue his tribesmen, but he was obviously not interested.

Wu Shanshi continued in a low voice: "Sir!! If you can bring your men to save my people, we're willing to do anything for you. We're willing to offer you a tribe treasure, the Grain Tree."

Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed, and asked directly: "Grain Tree? What's that?"

Wu Shanshi then revealed the biggest secret of the Nine Holes Camp: "Grain Tree, it is a huge tree that can produce grain! There are a few such trees in our Nine Holes Camp, each tree could produce a few hundred jin of rice. The people of our tribe have been relying on these to survive till now."

In this post-apocalyptic world, rice was indefinitely more valuable than gold. Most of the seeds of the pre-apocalyptic world had no way of germinating currently, only a handful of mutated seeds had managed to grow.

Because of this, the agriculture industry crashed entirely, and there were no new ways of farming yet. If what Wu Shanshi said was true, then the dozens of Grain Trees at the Nine Holes Camp could become the cornerstone of the farming industry. If it were really the case, the dozens of trees would be more valuable than a few thousand tonnes of rations.

Yue Zhong's gaze was piercing, as he became a little excited and asked: "Is what you said for real? If it's true! I can deploy troops to save your people! However! If you're lying, you and your tribesmen will have to pay a painful price!"

If Yue Zhong managed to obtain that Grain Tree, then he could begin mass planting of such trees, and he would solve the problem of rations.

Wu Shanshi nodded profusely and swore: "It definitely is the truth! Should there be the slightest lie in my words, you can shoot me dead!!"

Yue Zhong eyed Wu Shanshi and the corners of his mouth lifted: "Fine! Go bring Lu Ningshui over!"

Mahogany Town was a small rural town, and within the town, other than a shopping mall, there no other tall buildings.

In a room within Mahogany Town, there was a man dressed in a few layers of clothes, while his face was flushed red from the cold, and he was carrying a huge axe on his back. He cursed out: "Making me work in this damned weather! Fucking troublesome!!"

Another young man who was dressed similarly and had decent features replied: "Zhao Lin! Suffering is a blessing! Since we can slog for the Heaven Sect, when we get to the Kingdom of God, we get to enjoy 3 times the blessings! This was promised by the Altar Lord Zheng after all! You must cherish it!"

"Yes! Yes! I got it!!" Zhao Lin agreed on the surface, but innately, he was cursing: "This idiot! Still calls himself a university student! Must have damaged his brains through his studies, to be brainwashed so completely. What a fool!"

Zhao Lin then turned to another guy lying in bed, wrapped in blankets, as he asked: "Old Wang!! Didn't Li Sheng, Zhou Xu and the rest catch a bunch of pigs*? Amongst the group of them, there're some good looking ones! Wanna go and play with them?" *(referring to the captives)

Old Wang shook his head: "The good-looking chicks are to be offered to the Altar Lords, Law Protectors, Great Elders and the Sect Leader! If we were to fool around, we might get banished to Hell."

Zhao Lin urged: "I know! But other than those extremely pretty ones, the rest should be fine! Let's go find a few young ones to have fun with, even if the upper guys know, they won't say much."

Old Wang was tempted when he heard this, in such cold weather, hugging a young woman's body to warm oneself was a sort of bliss, and while he didn't dare touch those picked out by the top, the rest were in fact no problem.

The young man frowned, and barked out sternly: "What're you guys thinking of? Those are pigs, demons!! If you were to yoke with them, you will be tainted. In the end, you'll go to Hell!!"

Zhao Lin and Old Wang exchanged a glance, and both felt that the fanatic in front of them was beyond hope.

"Zhao Lin! Open the door!!" At this time, a voice resounded from the entrance of the town.

Zhao Lin looked out the window, and saw Lu Ningshui bringing a bunch of people to the entrance of the town.

"Hot damn! Such quality goods!!" Zhao Lin saw Ning Yuxin standing beside Lu Ningshui and was instantly captivated. He had only seen beautiful women like this twice!

Zhao Lin hurried to let the group in, and stared hungrily at Ning Yuxin while saying: "Old Lu! How did you get such top quality goods! You have struck it rich this time. If you offer her to the Sect Leader, he would probably be so happy and confer you the title of an Altar Lord!"

The fanatic Xu Heng came over, speaking in a righteous manner: "Zhao Lin, don't smear the Sect Leader! My Heaven Sect is upright and moral, and test one's faith and contributions! We don't operate on desires and lust!! If you continue to smear the Sect Leader, take care that I will go report this to Altar Lord Zheng!"

After lecturing Zhao Lin, he looked towards Lu Ningshui who had come back alone with Yue Zhong, Bai Xiaosheng, Shang Lun, Ming Jiajia and Ning Yuxin in tow, and could not help but ask a question out of suspicion. "Lu Ningshui! How come it's only you! Where's Zhang Yu and the rest? Who're these guys?"

Lu Ningshui's face turned stony and scolded back: "Xu Heng! Who do the hell do you think you are! On what grounds are you questioning this daddy! When I fought the war in the south and battled in the north, you were still not part of Heaven Sect yet! I'm a high-ranking disciple, while you're just a apprentice-level disciple! Your offence this time, do you want to be banished to Hell?"

Xu Heng bit his lip and lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry!"

Lu Ningshui coughed, before resuming a proud look: "I was separated from Zhang Yu and the rest. I caught these pigs when I was wandering! Bring me to Li Sheng and the rest!"

"Yes!" Xu Heng replied, and brought them towards the centre of the town.

Along the way, Ming Jiajia grabbed Yue Zhong's hands, revealing the locations of the various soldiers hidden within the town.

Yue Zhong had already obtained intelligence from Lu Ningshui, and this town was just a sentry outpost. It had over 300 disciples, and most of the members would use it as a base before heading out in all directions to attack, and bring the captives there. There were a few scattered tribes around this area, and the disciples would specially head out to catch these tribes.

Along the way, with Ming Jiajia's directions, Yue Zhong had already grasped the positions of the various sentries, the moment he lashed out, he was confident of taking them out.

With Xu Heng's guidance, Yue Zhong and the rest came to a French-styled villa.

In the great hall of the villa, there were 24 males lounging about, every single one of them with a ferocious air. They had various weapons by their sides, including loaded rifles, Tang Replica Swords and various other weapons strewn about. To an unobservant person, these men all appeared to be relaxed and lazy, The key point though, was that they were all right within arms reach.

Chapter 376 – Arrival Of The Grand Elder

Translated by: Kun

Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition

[Book 3: The South]

The 24 men were currently either playing poker, or smoking cigarettes, or drinking. Everyone of them were relaxing in their own way. At a corner, 4 of them were pressed on top of 6 women, engaging in an orgy. The entire villa looked foul.

These 24 disciples were considered high-ranking disciples, everyone of them having fought many battles for Heaven Sect.

One of them, who sported an ugly beard, dishevelled hair, and golden teeth looked at Lu Ningshui, and chucked leeringly: "Lu Ningshui, your luck's not bad! You actually gotten your hands on such amazing chicks! When you strike it big, don't forget us brothers!"

One of the males glanced at Ning Yuxin and Ming Jiajia, as a steely gleam flashed in his eyes: "Not bad!! An adult and a kid, both top-notch! This time, Sect Leader is bound to reward you!!"

Another disciple looked at Yue Zhong and the rest beside Lu Ningshui, and frowned before scolding: "Lu Ningshui! How can you not know the rules! Forget about the women! Why didn't you bring those 3 pigs to the holding pen, instead coming here?"

Yue Zhong looked around at the 24 high-ranking disciples, and ordered out coldly: "Leave 5 alive, kill the rest!"

Upon receiving Yue Zhong's orders, Shang Lun immediately grabbed the throat of the fanatic Xu Heng in a vice-grip, and crushed down viciously, destroying his throat.

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes flashed icily, and pulled out a Dark Magic Blade as he shot forwards into the crowd, waving his blade flashily, and 5 people were instantly beheaded. In just a second, he had taken care of 5 high-ranking disciples.

Ming Jiajia had also activated her ability at the first instant, and 5 Shadow Wolves leapt from the shadows of 5 other guys, biting them on the neck and killing them instantly.

Shang Lun shot forwards like an arrow, breaking into the crowd. He was extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy, and chopped down accurately and precisely at specific spots of the disciples, like the back of the brain or neck, causing them to faint instantly.

Bai Xiaosheng on the other hand, was a killing demon. He laughed maniacally, as he slaughtered the disciples in a frenzy. Those poor sods didn't even have the time to pick up any weapons before they were totally annihilated.

Barely 5 seconds had passed and within the huge hall of the villa, only Yue Zhong's team as well as the captives required by Yue Zhong remained. The 6 women who were being ravaged were left alive as well.

After wiping out all the disciples, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the 6 ladies and chuckled coldly: "Ladies! Don't scream! Otherwise, no matter how much I love women, I'd have no choice but to lop your heads off!"

Hearing the threats from Bai Xiaosheng, the 6 women all nodded in fright, as they covered their own mouths, not daring to make a sound.

"It's too scary!!" Ning Yuxin took a look at the hall that was now dyed red with blood and littered with body parts, as she turned pale, and almost vomited. Although she had witnessed her fair share of executions, none came close to the sheer brutality and scale of the scene before her. The bloody place caused her to be revolted.

Yue Zhong glanced at Ning Yuxin and muttered: "This is the reality of the world outside! The victors are kings and the losers are bandits! Since you have left the comfort of that place, you'd do well to accept the cruelty of the situation!"

Most ordinary girls were after all good at heart, and were generally weaker than men, and hence weren't suitable for battles on the forefront..

That was not to say that all women were like that, as within Yue Zhong's army, there were numerous female soldiers, and they were the survivors he rescued from the hands of the Vietnamese. Those female soldiers had undergone all sorts of torment and were filled with hatred. They were not any weaker than the men during training, and when they fought, they had a ferocity like that of wild tigers. They could be considered a powerful weapon of Yue Zhong.

Ning Yuxin's face was still pale as she took a look at Ming Jiajia who was calm and collected, as she said with resolution: "I know!! I will definitely brave this!!"

Lu Ningshui looked at the carnage that had just occurred in a matter of 5 seconds, and his heart turned cold: "Too overbearing…" Yue Zhong then ordered Bai Xiaosheng: "Bai Xiaosheng. Go kill the rest of the enemies within this villa!"

In the villa with its inconsistent interior, the varied terrain was extremely beneficial to Bai Xiaosheng with his insane speed. He could unleash it to a frightening degree, and slaughter his enemies easily.

Bai Xiaosheng charged further in as he shouted back: "Yes Leader! Remember to gift me with a few more beauties later on!!"

Yue Zhong stared at one of the captives that been awakened by dumping cold water: "Where are you keeping the survivors you've caught?"

The captive spat out obstinately: "Fuck your mother!"

Yue Zhong glanced at Lu Ningshui and coldly commanded: "Chop his head off!"

Lu Ningshui did not hesitate one bit as he swung his Tang Replica Sword at the neck of his ex-comrade, directly decapitating him. Fresh blood spurt towards the skies, as the lifeless head rolled over to another discple.

Seeing his comrade's head, the disciple immediately trembled, as he retreated, his eyes filled with intense fear.

The other 3 disciples also could not help but tremble.

Yue Zhong then chose another disciple and asked simply: "Where are you keeping the survivors you've caught?"

The disciple trembled as he retorted stubbornly: "You devil, you'll definitely go to hell…."

Yue Zhong could not be bothered to hear the rest as he waved his hands, and Lu Ningshui proceeded to cut off that disciple's head as well. Fresh blood splattered everywhere.

Yue Zhong moved on to the 3rd captive: "Where. Are. You. Keeping. The. Survivors?"

"I'll say!! I'll say it!! They're kept in the basement under this villa!!!" The captive immediately broke down as he cried out while revealing the location.

Yue Zhong threw a Tang Replica Sword to him as he coldly barked: "Consider yourself smart! Go kill the other 2! I'll let you leave!"

The captive looked at the Tang Replica Sword as he struggled internally for some time, before swinging it at his fellow disciple, and chopped his head off. This swing also signified his severing of his ties with the Heaven Sect.

The last disciple's eyes widened in shock, as he screamed: "Don't kill me!! I surrender!! I'll tell you anything!! I'll tell you anything!!"

"Great Elder Niu has arrived!! The disciples in Mahogany Town, come out to pay your respects!!"

All of a sudden, there was a resounding voice that came from outside of the town.

Hearing that voice, Lu Ningshui's expression changed, as he started muttering while looking lost: "Great Elder Niu!! Shit! Why did he come here? Why now out of all times?"

The disciple that betrayed the Heaven Sect turned pale, as he also moaned: "No..no…no…Great Elder Niu has come! I'm dead this time!!"

The captive who was originally screaming to surrender immediately became excited: "Haha!! Bunch of traitors, you're still not releasing me?! Let me go now, and offer up those 2 women, I can still input some good words for you in front of Elder Niu! Otherwise, all of you will be buried here!!"

"You talk too much!" Ming Jiajia's face turned rigid, with a thought, a Shadow Wolf leapt out from behind the captive and bit him on his neck, crushing it in one bite.

Yue Zhong looked at Lu Ningshui and asked: "What's the background of this Elder Niu! Why're you so scared?"

Lu Ningshui replied palely: "His real name is called Niu Xinghe! His power in Heaven Sect amongst the 8 Great Elders ranks number 2. Under him, there are 6 Law Protectors and 13 Altar Lords. At the same time, he has a personal troop of 300 people. He's fierce and cruel, any enemy that is caught by him would usually be tormented endlessly. The rumours are that he has tortured over 400 people to death."

Yue Zhong frowned slightly: "300 personal guards! So excessive!"

300 personal troopers were not a small number. Furthermore, Yue Zhong did not know the true strength of their combat abilities. If they happened to be all experts, Yue Zhong would have to treat the issue seriously."

Lu Ningshui continued with a face of fright: "What do we do? Leader? Shall we just escape first??"

Lu Ningshui was extremely afraid of landing in Niu Xinghe's hands, at that time, traitors like him would definitely face a fate worse than death.

Yue Zhong replied solemnly: "What're you afraid of! There's me!"*

Lu Ningshui immediately quietened down, however, the look in his eyes betrayed his fear and unrest!

At this time, Bai Xiaosheng brought out a 100 or so survivors out from the villa, as he spoke to Yue Zhong excitedly: "Leader!! I found them!! This time, there are a few good-looking ones. Gift a few to me, eh?"

Yue Zhong glanced over at the survivors, and counted about 60 women, 40 men. Amongst the ladies, there were indeed a few beautiful ones.

Amongst them, there was a young girl of about 16-17, with fair beautiful skin, an oval-shaped face with cherry lips. Her features were defined and her body proportions stunning. Her eyes seemed like they could tell stories, while she looked fearful like the rest of them and looked about anxiously.

This young tribe girl was definitely not below Ning Yuxin in terms of looks and her aura, and was also a rare beauty.*

Yue Zhong ordered: "Get ready for battle! Shang Lun, give out weapons to the men! Let them prepare for the fight to come as well!"

Bai Xiaosheng's pupils shrunk, as he asked: "Are the enemies here?"

"Yes! Bai Xiaosheng, come with me and let's check out the enemy. Shang Lun, I'll leave things here to you and White Bones!" Yue Zhong replied mildly.

With a bright flash in mid air, White Bones stepped out from the nether space, and stood in the great hall.

*Captain Planet, he's the hero.

*Uh, in the past 10 chapters alone, I think there were almost 10 billion beauties from the way the author describes them. Almost seems like the backdrop of GDW Is the plastic surgery industry, every new girl he meets would definitely be fair-skinned and has an oval shaped face as well as a stunning hot bod. Or lolitas.

"Elder Niu's skills are unparalled! He's undefeatable! Long live Great Elder Niu!!"

"Elder Niu's skills are unparalled! He's undefeatable! Long live Great Elder Niu!!"

Following the loud chants, on the sides of the road that had not completely thawed from the snow, there were 2 rows of people kneeling while chanting.

A middle-aged man with a ferocious look and a burly build sat in an ancient Chinese sedan, and he was wrapped in thick clothes. Under his arms, there were 2 lithe young women.

Under the Chinese sedan, there were 4 extremely well-built and good looking women hoisting it. They were obviously Enhancers from their strength.

Surrounding the sedan, there were 300 men dressed in blue. After the apocalypse, there weren't any clothes factories. Niu Xinghe could only find a storehouse and took their uniforms as the military uniform for his troops.

These 300 men wearing the same clothes looked pretty intimidating, if it wasn't for the fact that they had the words [XX Aluminium] behind them.

The man seated amidst all this glory and fanfare was obviously one of the Great Elders of the Heaven Sect, Niu Xing He.

Bai Xiaosheng and Yue Zhong were currently hiding in a corner, and Bai Xiaosheng looked at the pompous manner which Niu Xinghe made his entrance, and could not help but muttered: "Wa! It seems like a clown had appeared!! Doesn't he feel the least bit embarrassed?"

"Shame? I think he's revelling in it! This is the so-called Sect!!" Yue Zhong looked at the ridiculous manner in which Niu Xinghe had appeared in, and could not help but think of the scenes where children had ditched classes in the past to watch the welcoming ceremonies of certain leaders, as the roads were cleared by the police.

Such a fanfare was obviously a poor attempt at trying to imitate the welcoming of leaders in the past.

Yue Zhong's pupils shrunk, as he threw all thoughts behind his mind, as he stared hard at Niu Xinghe seated upon the sedan. The moment he killed this clown, the entire troop would be without a leader, and it would be easier to take them out.

Ming Jiajia furrowed her eyebrows, as she brought her lips close to Yue Zhong's ears and whispered: "Someone's coming! Seems like the number of them is not small!"

Yue Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and decided to stay his hand.

Just as Niu Xinghe's entourage passed by a small alley, all of a sudden, rifles pointed out from the various houses along the alley as they fired wildly at the troops.

Under that dense barrage of bullets, 30-over members of Niu Xinghe's personal guards fell to the ground.

"Assassin!! There's an assassin!!" One of the Law Protectors hollered out, as he raised his own gun and fired back at one of the houses.

Following the sounds of 2 gunshots, the firing from within the house ceased almost instantly. The Law Protector had the [Firearms Control] ability, and had enhanced it to Level 3, within a distance of 300m, he had the utmost confidence of firing a headshot at even an S2.

After hearing the gunshot, those Heaven Sect members who were kneeling by the roadside immediately stood up and charged towards the sounds of gunfire.

Niu Xinghe remained seated in his sedan, looking towards the direction of the attempt on his life. In front of him, there was a Law Protector, and he had activated an [Air Barrier, stopping every single bullet aimed at Niu Xinghe!

"Niu Xinghe! Scum of humanity! Today I shall rain judgement upon you on behalf of the heavens, and take your life! Answer to the innocent you have murdered!!" At this time, following a sharp cry, a beautiful lady appeared. She had her hair in a single ponytail, her hands wearing silver bangles, and she was dressed in a gorgeous pleated skirt. She was holding a black spear as she charged at Niu Xinghe.

Niu Xinghe had a grim look as he casually picked up a 2m-long huge axe, and laughed savagely, as he jumped down from the sedan: "It really is you! Song Miaoyi!! There are paths of life to choose from yet you insist on the road of death! You've killed so many of my brothers!! I'll capture you alive today, and get every single one of my men to beat you up!! We will then raise you as a bitch!! So much so that you will not lead your life as a human, but as a dog!! You'll become a bitch that allows a thousand to ride, and ten thousand to sleep with!!"

Song Miaoyi floated out from the smoke like a fairy, as she struck out with her spear without losing a beat.

The spear strike did not seem fast, but in fact, it was lightning quick, and had some profoundness to it. Just when the Law Protector wanted to activate his [Air Barrier] skill to defend against the strike, it had already penetrated his heart.

Song Miaoyi swung upwards, and the corpse of the Heaven Sect Law Protector flew, crashing into a wall.

"Kill her!!"

"Kill her!! The heavens are with us, we're undefeatable!!"

"The heavens are with us, we're undefeatable!!"

The personal guards of Niu Xinghe hollered out, as they brandished their blades, charging towards Song Miaoyi in a frenzy. Every single one of them was an Enhancer, and while the majority were only about Level 5 or 6, under the brainwashing of the Heaven Sect, they believed themselves to be invincible, and were truly fearless.

From the various windows, the insurgents fired their rifles, killing the personal guards of Niu Xinghe.

However, the 13 Altar Lords under Niu Xinghe brought their men and routed to the back of the assassins, firing non-stop at them.

The 13 Altar Lords were Enhancers above Level 20 and Level 30, at the same time, they had the advantage of numbers. As they progressed steadily, they managed to get back the houses one by one, and the flow of the battle was slowly turning against the assassins.

Song Miaoyi danced about with her peerless and exquisite spear skills, single-handedly decimating numerous members of Niu Xinghe's personal guards.

Many of the personal guards were being slaughtered by Song Miaoyi, but these warriors were not afraid of death, and their eyes had a fervor to them as they charged at her, every strike of theirs with the intent to exchange their own lives for hers.

There were more than 200 people surrounding her from all sides in a craze, and she was forced to expend all her power, constantly wearing down her Stamina. She displayed her spear skills without stop, trying her best to kill as many of the soldiers as possible.

"The heavens are with us, we're undefeatable!!" One of the personal guards' eyes flashed with an intense fervor, as he charged towards Song Miaoyi. However, just as his chant ended, he found his heart pierced.

"The heavens are with us, we're undefeatable!!" Before that soldier even fell to the ground, the next personal guard came from behind, charging at Song Miaoyi with the same look in his eyes.

"This Heaven Sect disciples are too scary!!" Song Miaoyi's spear moves were indeed amazing, and there were 47 Heaven Sect disciples who had fallen under her spear, but she had been forced to exert over half her Stamina. The disciples on the other hand did not seem to lose their aggression, and this caused her heart to palpitate in fear.

Song Miaoyi had peerless spear skills, and she had intended to use her skills to take care of Niu Xinghe quickly, before taking her tribesmen to hunt the disciples who would be without a leader. However, she didn't expect that she would be harassed and surrounded to this extent, while Niu Xinghe himself was sitting quietly and enjoying the show, not displaying the intent to fight personally.

Yue Zhong observed all these, and ordered: "Bai Xiaosheng! Route behind them! Take care of those attacking the assassins from behind. Ensure your safety above all else."

"Yes! Leader!" Bai Xiaosheng flashed forwards, and in that small alley, he disappeared like a spectre. Borrowing the varied elements of a street battle, an Agility-based Evolver like him would be able to exhibit a truly fearsome combat strength.

In a matter of a few seconds, Bai Xiaosheng had already routed behind the Heaven Sect.

Behind the disciples of the Heaven Sect, there was a sudden flash of green light, and 7 disciples standing together found their hearts pierced within a second.

Their eyes shone with a fading light of disbelief, as their bodies lost strength rapidly and fell the ground. Before even hitting the ground, the last scene they saw was their fellow disciples being stabbed in their hearts noiselessly by a shadow.

Bai Xiaosheng was indeed a perverted man, but after being subdued by Yue Zhong, he truly fought hard. His combat abilities were shocking, and as long as he exerted his maximum speed, he was like a ghost, killing 21 disciples of the Heaven Sect in a matter of about 5 seconds.

He was like a terrifying hunter, noiselessly stalking and hunting his prey, and the 13 Altar Lords in front were focusing their attention on the battlefield, not noticing that he had already decimated a number of their disciples.

An Altar Lord bringing up the rear brought 6 other soldiers and guarded the rear.

Out of the blue, a spear suddenly pierced the heart of the Altar Lord, and his eyes flashed with shock, before losing their light.

A spectre-like figure flashed past, and before the soldiers beside the Altar Lord had the chance to react, they were killed in a similar fashion.

The fact that an Agility-based Evolver assassin had appeared, was devastating. The Altar Lord was a Level 32 Enhancer and he had not the chance to display any of his strength before he was picked off just like that.

"Wu Yang!! Bring your men over!!" Right at this time, the walkie-talkie resounded beside the Altar Lord.

Bai Xiaosheng eyed the walkie-talkie, as he muttered: "Seems like we can't keep this under wraps for long! I've already killed over 68 people, let's kill a few more before they notice something amiss!"

Bai Xiaosheng eyed a target at a distance and rushed over.

A clean-shaven man, with a knife-scar running down his lips said solemnly: "Seems like Wu Yang had been killed!! There's an enemy behind us! It must be some top expert, and Wu Yang definitely must have been assassinated."

The well built man with the scar was the leader of the 13 Altar Lords under Niu Xinghe, and his name was Zhen Yeyang. He was a Level 38 Enhancer, and his strength was truly overbearing. It was not below even some of the Law Protectors. However, there are many things that are not obtained just through power alone.

Zhen Yeyang ordered out: "Notify Song Mingtao, Wu Wen and the rest to be careful of their back, and get their troops to be on guard! We will continue our assault on these few buildings here! The enemy should be a few in number, as long as we take care of those inside these buildings, we can focus our power to take the rest of them out!"

"Yes!" One of the soldiers replied.

Very quickly, 5 Altar Lords mobilized about 42 disciples as they concentrated themselves in a circle, and began defending themselves. With the abilities of those 5 Altar Lords, as well as the defence of those 42 Heaven Sect disciples, they were like a porcupine, causing Bai Xiaosheng to be helpess.

Bai Xiaosheng had confidence that against a single Altar Lord, he would be able to take him out in a single strike. However, with 5 of them staying together, coupled with their strange abilities, adding on to the fact that they were protected by 42 crazed disciples, it truly caused him to have a headache.

Unless Bai Xiaosheng was willing to take the risk and fight it out with that entire troop by throwing his life away, he would be hard pressed to defeat all 47 of them.

"No! If I don't leave now! I'll truly be forced to stay!" Song Miaoyi had killed the 72nd soldier of the personal guards, and her breathing had already become erratic, her back drenched with perspiration, and the blood on her body was coagulating. She found her black spear becoming heavier and heavier, and could not brandish it as effectively as at the start of the battle.

Song Miaoyi continued to execute a few more moves, and killed another 3 more personal guards, before she tensed her feet, and leapt towards the skies, jumping towards a bungalow.

One of the Altar Lords with a crooked mouth standing beside Niu Xinghe chuckled coldly: "You want to leave? It's too late!"

When Song Miaoyi was in midair, she suddenly discovered a number of translucent lines blocking her way, and her expression changed, as she struck out wildly with her spear, intending to break the obstruction apart.

"Surround her!" The Altar Lord laughed out coldly, and closed his fist, and the translucent fishing lines started wrapping around Song Miaoyi at an astonishing speed.

Song Miaoyi lashed out with her spear moves crazily, but she was in mid air, and could not exhibit her full force, and she only broke through 20 of the lines, before being bounded by the rest. She was instantly tied up and pulled down roughly from the skies, as she rolled to Niu Xinghe's feet.

Niu Xinghe looked at Song Miaoyi with an expression of glee as he barked out: "Bitch!! Now you know the gap between us! I haven't even made a move, and you have already lost bitch! Just based on your power, and you want to go against the Heaven Sect, you sure don't know your limits!!"

Song Miaoyi gritted her teeth and cursed out: "Niu Xinghe, what are you! You're just a beast!! Your Heaven Sect is full of sickos and perverts! If you have the guts, kill me now!! As long as I'm still breathing, I will definitely not let any of you bastards go free!!"

Niu Xinghe looked at her, as his eyes flashed with a cruel and vicious light and he roared with laughter: "Hahahaha! I won't kill you!! After I'm done playing with you, I will tear off your clothes, and throw you into town, and let every single man come and ravage you! After that, I'll rear you like a dog!!!! I want to see if you're the beast, or I'm the beast!!*1 Haha!!"
