The little rascals within the room stared at the cans of meat in Wei Jie and Liu Xiao Hong's hands.
Wei Jie hesitated a little, before gritting her teeth: "Let's open one!"
Liu Xiao Hong gulped her saliva down and opened her can.
Wei Jie spoke: "One slice per person!!"
"Yay!"
"That's great! You're the best!"
The children whooped in delight and surrounded them. Each one was given a slice, and they began to nibble bit by bit, savoring the taste for as long as possible. It was over half a year since they last had some meat.
In the apocalyptic world, there were many strong people in their factions that led better lives than even before the disaster. However, the people at the lower rungs of society were worse off, many starving and suffering.
Just as they were enjoying their meat, 10 burly men, led by a muscled man with buck tooth and a single eye, stormed into the small house.
Du Qiang pointed at Yue Zhong, before putting on a fawning expression towards the bucktoothed man and said: "Boss Xun, it's that man, he has a gun! It was him who fired a shot last night!"
Boss Xun swept his gaze over Yue Zhong and threatened loudly: "Fuck!! Damn cripple, this is I, your father's, territory! Hand over your gun! Otherwise, I'll break your arms and turn you into a disabled person without his limbs!"
After barking out his threat, his gaze landed on Wei Jie, and a hint of perverse lust flashed past his eyes. He licked his lips and continued: "Shit!! There's such a quality good over here. What a waste! Come and make yourself useful!"
After that, he didn't even bother about the eyes in the room and reached out for Wei Jie's hair.
In this region, this Boss Xun led a life like a king. Since the apocalypse, where morality and humanity was basically eroding away, he didn't care how others viewed him. He was the close brother of Zhang Liu He, the boss of Ding Town, and as long as he was loyal to him, fucking a few women wasn't a big deal.
"No!! Boss Xun!!" A huge sense of anger welled up in Du Qiang's heart, and he lurched forward, trying to stop Boss Xun from grabbing Wei Jie.
"Fucking trash! Go to hell!" Boss Xun shot Du Qiang a ferocious glare and threw out a vicious punch. A Strength 3 times that of a normal person exploded out, causing Du Qiang to fly towards a wall, crashing into it heavily. He spat out a mouthful of blood, the light in his eyes disappearing, as he turned into a corpse and slumped slowly to the ground.
Seeing that bloody scene, the rest of the children, Wei Jie and Liu Xiao Hong trembled with fear. Killing a person with a single punch, it was the first time they had witnessed such a fearsome scene.
Boss Xun spat out a glob of saliva on the floor, eyeing Wei Jie and ordered venomously: "Pei! Trash! He dares disrupt this father's matters. Crawl over here! You better lick my boots clean!"
Boss Xun was a lowly farmer prior to the apocalypse. Due to his looks, he had suffered plenty of disdain in the city, and many women had recoiled at the sight of him. This caused him to be filled with inferiority and anger. After the apocalypse, he gained some strength and started to retaliate against any beautiful women. He liked to watch them grovel at his feet like dogs.
Wei Jie's face was pale as a sheet. Although she had sold herself out, she wasn't willing to throw away her pride as well.
"Trash!" Yue Zhong snapped coldly.
When Boss Xun heard that, he pointed at Yue Zhong and bellowed: "Fuck! Damn cripple, what the fuck did you say? Men, go break his arms, then hang him outside to dry!"
"Piece of shit! Just die!!" 7 of the men rushed towards Yue Zhong with a hint of madness in their eyes.
With a flash of a blade, before they even reached Yue Zhong, their bodies were chopped into several pieces. Fresh blood and steaming innards splattered everywhere. The whole room was covered in a grotesque bloody color.
Yue Zhong stood up slowly, his Crocodile Saw Tooth Blade raised in his arms, as he looked at Boss Xun coldly.
"AH!!!" Seeing his 7 comrades sliced apart like tofu, one of the other subordinates was frightened and trembled as he tried to run out.
Boss Xun's face had a huge change, and he knew at once that he wasn't a match for Yue Zhong. He himself had no way of instantly slaughtering 7 men, and this man had just casually done so. He was obviously a dangerous and powerful opponent.
Boss Xun immediately came to a decision and made a mad dash for Wei Jie. As long as he had a hostage, he would have a sliver of chance.
Just as he was about to reach for her, a blade beam slashed past his neck, and his head fell off without any resistance. The headless corpse stumbled a few steps forward, before slumping to the ground as blood fountained in a falling arc through the air.
When Wei Jie, Liu Xiao Hong and the rest of the children witnessed this, they were truly frightened out of their wits. They have never come across such an inhumane sight before.
"Nice reaction! Too bad, it was too slow!" Yue Zhong eyed the corpse of Boss Xun, before suddenly disappearing from his position.
At the next instant, he appeared beside the remaining hooligan, his blade held at the neck as he barked coldly: "Bring me to Zhang Liu He!"
"Yes! Yes!" The burly man immediately stammered out, he didn't dare disobey such a terrifying existence.
Led by the burly man, Yue Zhong came to a villa.
The man pointed to the villa and spoke: "Zhang Liu He is inside!"
At the same time, a middle-aged man stepped out, exuding an imposing aura. He had huge coarse hands, his face was slightly tanned, but his eyes were sharp. He was accompanied by 8 other Enhancers.
Zhang Liu He eyed Yue Zhong and his eyes narrowed: "Friend, I'm Zhang Liu He. Is there some sort of misunderstanding between us?"
Yue Zhong eyed him coldly and said: "Ding Town is now mine! I'll only give you 3 seconds to consider, you can surrender or die."
Ding Town was in between Bin Qi City and Gui Ning City and would be a place within Yue Zhong's control in the future. Since he came here, he might as well set his plans in motion early.
A man with spiky hair and a gold leather jacket stepped out and cursed: "Damn you! Who the fuck are you! Are you looking to die?!"
Yue Zhong's eyes turned icy, as the Stinger appeared in his hands and he fired a single shot at the loudmouth.
The man with the spiky hair had his head directly blasted apart, as the sloppy red and white brain matter splattered onto the ground, beautifying the pavement.
Zhang Liu He's heart turned cold as he barked out: "Move!! Kill him!!"
Zhang Liu He's words had just come out his mouth when Yue Zhong had already activated his [Shadow Steps, shooting forwards like an arrow, nigh instantly appearing in front of Zhang Liu He like a spectre.
Yue Zhong waved his Crocodile Saw Tooth Blade, and a blade beam flashed past Zhang Liu He's neck.
Zhang Liu He had no way of reacting in time when his head was sliced off cleanly. It rolled to the ground, fresh blood splattering everywhere.
Seeing how casually he had taken down their boss, the 4 experts felt their heart turn cold. They were drenched in fear and did not dare move.
The remaining 3 Enhancers who were Agility and Strength-based charged forth towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong eyed those 3 Enhancers and the Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade in his hands danced again.
In the blink of an eye, the 3 Enhancers were sliced apart, their dismembered bodies dropping to the floor. It was a gruesome sight.
"I surrender!! I surrender!!"
"I surrender!!"
"Don't kill me! I surrender!"
The remaining 4 experts had their confidence shattered, and they immediately knelt on the ground, shivering as they took the initiative to surrender. It was the first time that they had come across such a terrifying expert, and while the 8 of them could join forces against Zhang Liu He, in front of this man, they had obviously been slaughtered like chickens. They knew they were absolutely nothing.
Yue Zhong eyed them coolly and asked: "Report your names!"
"Zhang En!"
"Tang Jun!"
"Ma Jian!"
"Lu Feng!"
Yue Zhong ordered: "Go gather the soldiers of Ding Town, await my orders."
"Yes!" The 4 men immediately headed out.
Within Ding Town, there were 300 survivors, and of which, 80 were soldiers. The rest were just ordinary survivors.
Most of them did not have any good impression of Zhang Liu He, even if the leader was changed, they didn't have any response. They were the lowest of society anyway.
Yue Zhong split the 80 soldiers into 4 teams led by each of the 4 experts.
"Boss Yue! Not good! There's an enemy raid!!" Right as Yue Zhong was reorganizing them, Zhang En came running with a pale expression, flanked by 6 or 7 of his men as he reported loudly.
"What? Bring me there!!" Yue Zhong frowned and left with huge strides.
Ding Town was now considered an establishment under his control, and that meant its citizens were his people. If he had the means, he would protect them properly.
Tang Jun and the other 2 exchanged glances as they followed closely.
When Yue Zhong came to the town centre, he saw a group of 100 men and women carrying weapons, each of them sporting a scorpion tattoo. They were killing and raping the survivors of the Ding Town.
Tang Jun saw those tattoos and his face lost color: "Violent Scorpions!! It's actually them!!"

Chapter 507-Purple Scorpion Xue Ning!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
The Violent Scorpions were the strongest armed force aside from the 3 main powers. They were located near Bin Qi City, and while they might only have about three to four hundred members, every one of them were strong Enhancers. At the same time, they were cruel and every time they went on a raid, they would not leave any survivors.
Hearing the name, Zhang En, Ma Jun and the rest turned pale and retreated a few steps. They wanted to turn and run, as Enhancers with enhanced bodies, they could definitely make a run for it.
Yue Zhong eyed those inhumane acts of the Violent Scorpions and frowned, as he waved his hand and a heavy machine gun appeared. He aimed at those gang members currently in the midst of killing and pillaging and pressed the trigger.
At the next moment, a fearsome line of fire spat out and 5 or 6 of the Violent Scorpions were directly punched full of holes, causing blood to spill everywhere.
With that sudden assault, the members of the Violent Scorpions began to curse out of shock and fear, as they hurried to dodge for cover.
Yue Zhong made use of his heavy machine gun to take down another 3 soldiers. By that time, the hundred others had found cover.
Zhang En and the rest saw how Yue Zhong magically pulled out his heavy machine gun and proceeded to fire at the Violent Scorpions without batting an eyelid, and were stunned speechless.
It was especially shocking due to the nature of those heavy caliber bullets. A single round could blast a head apart, or tear a person's body in two if it struck the waist. Its ability to sweep across its enemies was fearsome and a testament to its might.
Yue Zhong saw that the soldiers had managed to find cover, and he frowned slightly. It was going to be harder to deal with them.
Yue Zhong then shot forwards towards the hiding places of the soldiers.
"Go to hell!!" Right in the middle of his charge, 6 Violent Scorpions Enhancers leaped out of an alley and made to attack Yue Zhong with their daggers and Replica Tang Swords.
Yue Zhong whipped out his dual .05 submachine guns and with lightning speed, he aimed at their heads and fired off mercilessly.
With a short clean burst of gunfire, the 6 Violent Scorpions Enhancers were turned into sieves.
'Kuang lang!" Following the sounds of glass shattering, 2 Agility-based Enhancers broke through a window and charged at Yue Zhong. However, they had just emerged from the windows, when the holes of the guns were pointed at their heads, before spraying a line of fire. In that moment, bullets pierced their brain, turning them into lifeless corpses that slumped to the floor.
At a hidden corner, a dozen young men and women were dressed in tattered clothes and they huddled together. They were dressed simply, and it could be seen that their constitution was stronger than most, otherwise they would not be able to tolerate the cold.
The stronger the body, the stronger the resistance towards extreme temperatures. With Yue Zhong's current body, as long as he wasn't blanketed by that violent snowstorm, he wouldn't be affected by the cold at all.
One of the young males, who looked about 16 or 17 and had a blond mohawk hairstyle, as well as piercings, eyed Yue Zhong who was going around killing the members of the Violent Scorpions. His eyes flashed with fear, and immediately spoke urgently to a young woman with purple hair beside him: "Big Sis!! What do we do? That guy is a freak! He's too terrifying! Why don't… why don't we retreat first?"
Beside the mohawk boy, the young woman was dressed in black leather, her head full of purple hair. Her figure was explosively stunning, and her skin fair. Her legs were slender and seemed more taut with her choice of high heels. Her lips were thick and full, her features exquisite. The gaze in her eyes was sharp for her age, and she had an imposing aura as well as a charm, giving her the feel as though she was a sexy female leopard.
The various young men and women were gathered around her, awaiting her orders. It was obvious she was the ringleader.
The purple-hair beauty cursed out without regard for her image, as a string of profanities came out with her Dark Magic Blade pointed at Yue Zhong before she charged over: "Mountain Chicken! To hell with retreating! Fuck that fellow, let's fucking do him in!"
"Attack!!" With her lead, the rest of the young men and women began to rush over.
Yue Zhong eyed them approaching and immediately pulled out his QJZ8 heavy machine gun, aiming at them.
"Don't shoot! I have something to say!" The beauty with purple hair eyed the heavy machine gun and her expression changed before she came to a stop. She raised her hands and got the rest of her subordinates to stop in their tracks as well.
Yue Zhong frowned and lifted the heavy machine gun slightly as he spoke coldly: "Surrender now, and become my subordinates. Otherwise, you can all die here. Choose."
Yue Zhong had never had the habit of going easy on his enemies. Since this bunch of jokers had decided to attack his town, he didn't mind killing them all.
The vivacious woman licked her alluring lips and pointed at Yue Zhong with her Dark Magic Blade. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Yue Zhong, as she spoke with an excited and passionate look: "My name is Xue Ning. The Big Sister of the Violent Scorpions, Purple Scorpion Xue Ning. What's the point of using a gun! If you have the balls, come and take up your blade against this Queen! If you can win me, I'm willing to be your woman, even if you want this Queen to strip naked and be fucked by you, this Queen will do it. However, if you lose to me, you must join me, and become my man!"*
Xue Ning was extremely interested in Yue Zhong's marksmanship and ability to conjure a gun out of nowhere. She lacked such a force in her team. If he joined her, her Purple Scorpion Team would then become the top force amongst the 3 factions of the Violent Scorpions.
"Let's see if you have the ability!" Yue Zhong flipped his hand, and the heavy machine gun disappeared before he turned into a flash and charged towards Xue Ning.
"Little Handsome, your speed ain't too bad!! What a pity, you've met me! Today, you're destined to be mine!"
Xue Ning eyed Yue Zhong and licked her lips again. She activated her Second Order High-Speed Movement, and her entire body disappeared, rushing towards Yue Zhong with a spectre-like speed. She was a naturally awakened Agility-based Evolver, and at the point of her evolution, she had gained insight into the Second Order High-Speed Movement. It was precisely because of that she could rise to become one of the 3 leaders in the Violent Scorpions.
After activating her skill, Xue Ning's speed exploded out with double her original speed. It exceeded a normal person by at least 13 times, as that slender leg of hers lashed out viciously towards Yue Zhong's waist. She wanted to beat down this man thoroughly, to get him to submit to her totally.
"Too slow!" Yue Zhong's hand easily grabbed her leg, as he took a casual step forwards, and his right hand locking onto Xue Ning's throat like a venomous snake.
Xue Ning was over Level 30, and facing Yue Zhong who was over Level 60 and equipped with an entire set of equipment, she was simply powerless.
"You've lost!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold gaze as he strengthened his grip, resulting in his handprint to cause a deeper impression on her fair neck.
"Let go of Big Sis!!" A few of the young hooligans exploded out in rage and raised their weapons towards Yue Zhong.
The mohawk youth was the most devastated, as he had a long-time crush on Xue Ning, seeing another man grabbing his saintess like that, his heart was brimming with fury, and he pulled out a gun to aim at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong stood quietly, but a nether hole appeared in mid-air, with White Bones taking a step out, and immediately shooting out a bone spike to pierce mohawk boy's head. With the flash of White Bones' blades, the 7 or 8 other young hooligans that rushed forwards were instantly sliced into multiple parts, dropping onto the floor.
That ruthless and gory scene shocked everyone present, as they trembled. Their fear towards Yue Zhong had reached an apex, causing them to stay still.
When the other Violent Scorpions at the other locations saw this, they were also filled with fear. Their number one expert Purple Scorpion Xue Ning had been easily subdued but his man, and there was a freakish monster by his side that could slice out with bone blades. Every single one of them instantly stopped what they were doing, for fear of angering Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong grabbed Xue Ning's snow-white neck for a while, sweeping his gaze around, before loosening his grip. He then eyed the coughing Xue Ning and asked coldly: "Are you going to make your decision now to follow me, or do you want everyone to accompany you in death?"
Xue Ning coughed a few times before she lifted her head and replied in a straightforward manner: "I've lost! Since this Queen has lost, I'm naturally your woman. I, Purple Scorpion Xue Ning, am your girlfriend now! My Purple Scorpion team is yours as well! Kids, get the hell out here. Come and greet your new boss. Oh yes, what's your name? You can't keep getting me to call you boss right?"
Yue Zhong eyed Xue Ning, with an appreciative look: "I'm called Yue Zhong."
Although this Xue Ning was loud and obnoxious, calling herself 'this Queen', and spoke like a little gangster, it was undeniable that she was an incredibly sexy and beautiful girl. At the same time, she was strong in her own right, it was just that Yue Zhong was vastly overpowered.
Xue Ning eyed Yue Zhong, with a likewise strange glint in her eyes and she spoke directly: "Great! Boss Yue, from today onwards, you're my man, I'm your woman."
Xue Ning was not an idiot, she could tell in that instant during their exchange that the gap between them was truly too huge. If she insisted on being at loggerheads with him, the Purple Scorpions would be wiped from the earth on this day.
TN-
Note 1: Actual Chinese Raws put 老娘 which directly translates to the female version of "your daddy/your father/this laozi" I've decided to use queen as an arrogant way that she refers to herself.
Note 2: I've never seen anyone refer to Yue Zhong as little handsome. LOL

Chapter 508 – Hidden Concern!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
This Purple Scorpion Team was originally Xue Ning's private troop, under her orders, they began to gather quickly.
Xue Ning pointed to Yue Zhong and ordered her subordinates: "This is your boss, quick, acknowledge him!"
The youths immediately called out loudly: "Greetings Boss!"
Yue Zhong carefully observed this group of hooligans, a bunch of teenagers ranging from age 15 to 19. Everyone of them had strange outfits, and their hair were dyed different colours. Adding on to the bits of gold they wore, it was even more strange.
Zhang En and the other Enhancers saw how easily Yue Zhong had subdued and controlled this faction of the Violent Scorpions and were speechless.
Yue Zhong proceeded to ask Xue Ning: "Why did you guys decide to attack Ding Town?"
Xue Ning's eyes flashed with helplessness: "The crazy bitches from the Snow Palace had launched an attack out of nowhere on the surrounding powers. Our Violent Scorpions were not a match against those crazy women, and had no choice but to run in this direction. We had intended to shrug, say fuck it, and relocate here."
Yue Zhong asked curiously: "Snow Palace, I heard that they were an all-female bunch, with your power, going there should be more beneficial for you, why didn't you do so?" Xue Ning was not weak, with her Second Order Divine Speed, on top of her Agility-based Evolver status, she would be welcomed anywhere. That was why Yue Zhong was curious. Xue Ning's voice turned solemn: "No can do. If I brought my people there, other than those of us who are women, the rest of my brothers would be sentenced to lead their lives as lowly slaves." Xue Ning wasn't a power hungry woman, nor was she an absolutely capable leader. However, she was caring enough to not abandon her subordinates nor condemn them to a life of suffering.
Through her explanation, Yue Zhong discovered what it was like to be in the all-women faction, Snow Palace. The leader was a powerful and terrifying female expert, and other than her, the rest of the upper echelons were also strong female experts.
There were a total of 3,000 women in Snow Palace, and they were all disciples of the faction. Other than them, there about 12,000 men who were slaves. They had to slog for the Snow Palace, and ate the worst food, did the most horrible jobs, and lived in the most uninhabitable places. Everyday, there would be men who died from the cold, but the Snow Palace basically ignored their plight.
Hearing that description, Yue Zhong was sullen: "The world has really changed. What kind of stupid hellhole did that leader of the Snow Palace crawl out from, to be so antagonistic to all men?" It was obvious that the head of the Snow Palace viewed men with disdain.
Yue Zhong continued to ask: "How many of your Violent Scorpions are left?"
Xue Ning did not hide anything and replied: "Of the original 3 factions of the Violent Scorpions, the Purple Scorpions, the Yellow Scorpions and the Scarlet Scorpions, the Yellow Scorpions have been wiped out. The Red Scorpions under Toilet and this group are all that's left."
Yue Zhong continued: "Is there any way to get in contact with Toilet?"
Xue Ning looked straight at Yue Zhong with her beautiful eyes and shook her head slowly: "Boss Yue, this Queen might be your girlfriend, but this Queen will not betray her brothers even if you got people to torture me. You can force me to do anything, but this Queen will definitely not betray her brothers."
Yue Zhong could not take it anymore and rebuked her: "Can you stop using 'this Queen', and just speak normally?"
Looking at such a hot and beautiful little minx actually refer to herself as 'Queen' caused Yue Zhong to be uncomfortable. Xue Ning replied, albeit a little awkwardly: "Got it, from now on, this Queen…no, I will take note of it."
Right at this moment, following the loud roars of motors, 2 assault helicopters flew overhead, passing this small town as they headed into the distance. Yue Zhong saw those assault helicopters and a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "Those are the Eurocopter Tigers, are they from the Kingdom of God?"
The Kingdom of God originated from Europe, Germany, and the Eurocopters were the most common form of weapons they had utilized when they were expanding in Vietnam. Yue Zhong pointed at the direction which those Eurocopters flew towards and asked Xue Ning: "What faction lies over there?"
Xue Ning took a look before replying: "It should be the territory of the Thousand Heroes Association. The boss, Dan Ba, is a lustful sex pervert, but his strength is genuine. I heard they are on equal footing with the Snow Palace, with over ten thousand survivors."
Yue Zhong eyed that direction and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Seeing that this street-wise mouthy female leader knew the area well, he continued to ask: "I want to go to Gui Ning City. Do you know the way?" Xue Ning asked: "I know, but to get there, we need to pass through any of the 3 major powers. Which road will you prefer?"
"Which road is the fastest?"
"The road that passes through the territory of the Greater China Alliance." He immediately brought an end to the discussion: "Then let's head to the Greater China Alliance."
Xue Ning looked at her subordinates within the town, her face turning slightly downcast: "But Boss Yue, what about about my brothers, sisters and the people of Ding Town?"
Through the experiences of the apocalypse, Xue Ning had grown accustomed and distant to the loss of lives, but she was extremely loyal to her people. Since this band of rogue teenagers had followed her, she was determined to be responsible for them. That was why even though she was an Evolver that possessed a Second Order skill, she was only Level 30, because she focused on empowering the rest. Due to her tireless efforts to support and protect them, they were all loyal to her.
"There's enough food to support everyone here for a week. Wei Jie, come over." Yue Zhong eyed Wei Jie who was standing a distance away and called for her.
Wei Jie came to his side and asked with a little apprehension: "Boss Yue, what's the matter?"
Yue Zhong's measures were decisive and vicious, and his merciless attitude to his enemies had thoroughly shocked this kind-hearted teacher who only had the best interest of her children in mind. She found it hard to breathe just by standing beside him.
Yue Zhong swept his gaze over the people present, before pointing to White Bones and said coldly: "Everyone listen up, from now on, Wei Jie is the temporary leader of the town. Zhang En, you and the rest will assist her in the running of the town. White Bones will be aiding you as well. Whoever does not listen, it will directly kill the offender. The whole lot of you, better run the town properly. Wait for my return, is that understood?"
Zhang En and the rest felt a chill down their spine as they replied respectfully: "Yes, Leader."
Although they were not wholeheartedly submissive to Yue Zhong yet, they had been frightened by his fearsome methods. As long as he was not dead, or without the assistance of any other larger power, they would not dare to entertain any strange thoughts.
Xue Ning also lectured a few of her little leaders, before deciding to bring along a 13 or 14 year old, whose hair was dyed tea-green. She had thick makeup on, and her figure was just beginning to blossom.
Xue Ning pointed to this girl with tea-green hair and introduced: "This is Liu Xiao Cha, you can call her Little Tea. She has the ability to forecast the weather up to a day in advance, and she's extremely accurate. She can even predict how long before the next rain fall, and how long the rain will take."
Liu Xiao Cha looked at Yue Zhong and shot him a provocative smile: "Boss Yue, you're really cool. I'm all wet from watching you. If you want to fuck, just find me hehe."
"Get on." He eyed them impassively, and pointed to the Swift Shadow Bike that he retrieved from his Storage Ring.
The girls in the current society were truly audacious and open, there were many young females who were not closed to experimenting with their bodies, and when the topic came to sex, they were even more daring than most guys. Yue Zhong did not view such people with contempt, after all, it was their choice. However, it did not mean that he liked them.
However, her nature-predicting ability was important to Yue Zhong who did not control a satellite. If he had someone like her earlier, he wouldn't have been blown away by that monstrous snowstorm.
Liu Xiao Cha took one look at the sleek and powerful looking motorcycle and her eyes shone with anticipation: "Wa! What a cool motorcycle!"
Xue Ning slapped Liu Xiao Cha's perky butt and said: "Get on, you havoc vixen."
"Yes, Big Sis!" She exclaimed and leapt on.
Xue Ning chuckled seductively at Yue Zhong and got on as well: "Boss Yue, Little Tea is not a bad girl, she's one of the two virgins I have in my troop, and she's relatively clean. There are no problems if you wanna fuck her."
"Am I some lustful sex maniac in your eyes?" Yue Zhong was speechless as he got on the bike. The moment he climbed behind Xue Ning, he could smell the bewitching scent of the young girl in front of him, and felt her perky and bouncy figure in front of him. He instantly got aroused, and his rod pressed against her bottom. Xue Ning nestled deeper into his arms and teased: "Hehe, you're hard, ain'tcha?"
"Shut up and sit tight." He was a little embarrassed and irritated, barking out before flooring the accelerator, causing the motorbike to roar to life and charged into the horizon. Before the apocalypse, this Yang County had over 100,000 residents, now, the entire place had become the territory of the Greater China Alliance.
Yue Zhong brought Xue Ning and Liu Xiao Cha to the outskirts of Yang County, observing and making their preparations.

Chapter 509 – Evil Youth!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
Outside Yang County, there was a river of about 6m width that flowed around it. Prior to the apocalypse, the moat didn't exist. It was apparent that the Greater China Alliance had gotten manual labor to be carried out, digging such a moat and redirecting water to flow in it.
Furthermore, there was a city wall of about 5m surrounding the city within the moat. There were all sorts of defence fortifications on top of the wall. There were also numerous heavy machine guns pointed outwards, prepared to tear any enemy into shreds.
With the combination of the 6m-wide moat and the 5m-high city wall, even if 100,000 zombies attacked, Yang County could defend itself comfortably. Even Mutant Beasts hordes and other human factions would have to think twice before launching an assault.
The fortifications and structures were built impressively, and the huge moat having been erected at the expense of a huge amount of manual labour was also a stroke of genius. It was also partly because the county was near a water source, that was why it was possible. If it was a city, the moat would be too huge, and the amount of manpower required would be overwhelming. It would not have been possible to do it in a short time. If it was a small town, then the number of survivors would be too little to dig an effective moat.
With such defences in place, even if Yue Zhong activated his elite troops, he would have to pay quite a price to be able to take it down.
Yue Zhong scrutinized every available detail before saying: "Let's go."
Xue Ning and Liu Xiao Cha followed behind as the trio made their way towards Yang County.
For the sake of preventing unwanted attention, both the girls had ruffled their hair, and wore distasteful clothes, hiding their looks and figures.
When the sentries saw this small group approaching harmlessly, they waved them in with disgust.
Yue Zhong then led the 2 of them silently as they walked towards the other side of the county.
The current atmosphere in the county was bleak, as most of the survivors were hiding in their own homes, avoiding the cold. The homeless were huddled together at various corners, their eyes blinking soullessly awaiting their deaths. There wasn't a sign of life on the streets, and it felt as though the inhabitants were already zombies.
At this time, there was a loud commotion resounding from a distance away: "Get the hell out of the way! Get the hell away! Young Master Jin is coming out to walk the dogs!"
Yue Zhong followed the source of the sound, only to see a young man with fox fur and a wretched look holding a rope of sorts. At the end of the rope, there were 8 young beauties crawling on the ground, their eyes lacking the radiance of life, crawling around naked.
There were 10 men in black suits and sunglasses around the young man, acting like bodyguards. One of them was currently shouting at the homeless people on the streets.
"Beast." Yue Zhong saw the wretched young man 'walking' the young girls like dogs and his fury billowed. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with an intensity.
After the apocalypse, the human race was deteriorating, and there were zombies and Mutant Beasts everywhere. Yet there were some people who gave in to their inner devils, and indulged in depravity, humiliating and killing their own people. They would stepped on others to ensure their own enjoyment and pleasures. Yue Zhong hated these type of people to the core.
When Xue Ning and Liu Xiao Cha saw the scene, their eyes were filled with pain and hatred as well. They were after all women, and seeing how their fellow women were being treated by this Young Master Jin, they looked as though they were about to explode with their wrath.
The bodyguard who was shouting at the homeless on the streets saw Yue Zhong's group, and his expression turned ugly: "What the fuck are you guys staring at, aren't you shitheads supposed to get down and kneel, welcoming our Young Master Jin? His dogs are not meant to be looked upon by the likes of you shits!"
Regardless of period, and era, all rich playboys would have lapdogs by their sides. They were the fiercest bunch, as long as they encountered any other people whose status was lower, they would not hesitate to step up and lash out harshly to demonstrate their power.
"Eeee, Zhang Fang, stand down."
The Young Master Jin's attention was attracted, and his gaze landed on Xue Ning's purple hair, as well as her curvaceous body. His pupils shone with a lustful gleam, and he began to walk over.
He looked at them from head to toe, and again, a perverse expression flashed past his face as he waved his hands and ordered: "I've decided. The 2 of you will be my bitches. Come, men, kill the man."
In this Young Master Jin's eyes, a person's life was not even comparable to a dog. As long as he wished it, killing a few people would not be an issue.
The bodyguard immediately replied in a fawning manner: "Yes, Young Master Jin! Men, capture the 2 women, and kill the man!"
The remaining 9 bodyguards made their move towards Yue Zhong's group simultaneously. They had unusual methods and movements, and from their body constitution, it was obvious that they were all Enhancers.
"Truly seeking death." Yue Zhong did not expect that just a single glance at this wretched playboy was enough to set off trouble. This Young Master Jin was even more tyrannical than Yue Zhong by goodness knows how many times.
"A bunch of trash. You should simply go and die!" Yue Zhong waved his hand, and his Crocodile Saw Tooth Blade appeared, and in an instant, he sent out over a dozen blade beams outwards, chopping up the bodyguards like meat. Blood, organs and body parts splattered all over the ground.
When the Young Master Jin saw his bunch of lackeys instantly mutilated, he fell down in shock and wet his pants out of fear. He began crying out: "Ah!! Help!! Help!!! You can't kill me, I'm Jin Sheng Cheng's son Jin Da Li! If you kill me, my father will not let you off!!"
Yue Zhong shot Jin Da Li an extremely cold look as he slashed down viciously: "Trash, you don't have to worry, I'll go find your dad and send him to meet you in Hell!"
At this time, an ordinary-looking bodyguard that had been standing quietly by Jin Da Li's side shot forwards explosively, his hands wielding a Dark Magic Blade as he parried Yue Zhong's slash.
At the same time, there was a huge force that travelled from the point of impact, causing Yue Zhong to take 2 steps back.
His pupils narrowed as he stared at the bodyguard, asking slowly: "You're a Strength and Agility dual-attribute Evolver?"
The bodyguard raised his blade to point at Yue Zhong, his gaze similarly filled with a seriousness and chill. It was his first time encountering such a fearsome opponent, that caused even a dual-attribute Evolver like him to almost lose in the earlier clash. He was filled with shock towards Yue Zhong: "Please leave me some face. Let him go. Today's matters, I'll take as if nothing happened."
Jin Da Li was now hiding behind the bodyguard as he yelled at Yue Zhong with hatred: "Tian Hao, well done! Go kill him! After a few days, I'll gift these bitches to you. Kill him now! Kill him now!!"
Yue Zhong stared fixedly at Tian Hao and spoke slowly: "Is this piece of garbage worth your protection?"
Yue Zhong could feel that Tian Hao really didn't want himself as an enemy.
Tian Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness: "I need to ensure his safety."
Yue Zhong's gaze turned strict, as his eyes flashed with an icy resolution: "Then I guess I'll send you on your way as well. I'll definitely not leave that piece of shit alive."
Yue Zhong could guess that Tian Hao had his difficulties. However, there was a sea of people like that, and he couldn't allow his sentiments to get the better of him, as well as his path.
"Then, sorry." Tian Hao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he activated his own Second Order Shadow Steps, and his speed increased explosively, exceeding even the speed of a Type 2 Lightning. In a blink, he crossed the 8m distance between him and Yue Zhong, as a flash of a dagger soared through the air, threatening to slice off Yue Zhong's left arm.
"Fast." Yue Zhong's eyes glinted, as he activated his Shadow Steps, and Gravity Manipulation. A huge force weighed down on Tian Hao's body, causing his movements to turn sluggish.
Right as he was impeded, Yue Zhong immediately sent a blade towards Tian Hao's own arm.
"Open!" Tian Hao bellowed in rage, his body muscles turning taut, as a ferocious strength exploded out from him, bringing his blade up to parry Yue Zhong's attack. Once again, Yue Zhong was forced back.
Yue Zhong could easily take down a Level 30 Evolver that specialized in close combat within a few seconds. However, he was matched blow for blow by this Tian Hao, it could be seen that this guy was not simple.
At that moment, just as Tian Hao was about to charge towards Yue Zhong again, Xue Ning's voice came from behind, filled with thick killing intent: "Tian Hao, don't move, or I'll kill this garbage."
"No!" Tian Hao turned around, only to see Xue Ning with her dagger at Jin Da Li's chest, causing him to be alarmed.
"Hehe. Byebye!" Xue Ning turned around and flashed a provocative smile at Tian Hao, before thrusting the dagger deep into Jin Da Li's chest, and twisting it ruthlessly, then pulling it out. A huge spray of blood splattered upwards, and she lashed out violently, sending Jin Da Li's body towards Tian Hao.
Tian Hao's face drained of all its colour, as he rushed towards Jin Da Li's corpse, and reached his hand out. When he had just touched the body, Yue Zhong had already stepped forward and kicked at Tian Hao viciously as well. He was sent flying about 6 to 7 metres away, spitting a mouthful of blood, suffering greatly.
After Tian Hao was sent flying by a single kick, he immediately stepped out and reached to see if Jin Da Li was breathing. His face then turned ashen and he spat out a mouthful of blood: "Shit shit shit."
Yue Zhong observed Tian Hao who had seemed to lose all will to live and coldly barked: "What's the deal with him? Speak, I'll see if I can help."

Chapter 510 – Truth
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
Yue Zhong was a Level 66 expert, and his power was at a terrifying degree. If he really went all out, he could take down Tian Hao with 80% confidence. However, if he could get him to submit, then he would have gained a powerful subordinate.
Tian Hao replied with a downcast face: "My sister Tian Jing was captured by Jin Da Li. Only he knows where my sister is. I had to continue to work for him to ensure her safety. With his death, my sister is sure to die as well.
At this time, one of the woman who was sprawled on the ground naked, of about 31 or 32, had a strange glint in her eyes as she laughed coldly: "Tian Jing? Your sister Tian Jing has already died long ago."
"What?! No!! Impossible!! Impossible! She can't be dead!! You're lying!!" Tian Hao's face turned extremely savage, and charged at the beauty, as though he wanted to tear her apart.
Yue Zhong frowned and kicked out, causing Tian Hao to crash into the snow. If Tian Hao really lost his rationale, then he would have torn the beauty in two.
With his strength, Yue Zhong would have found it hard to bring him down without abilities. However, he was not thinking properly now, and had lost his combat edge. Even with a powerful constitution, such a person was basically vulnerable.
Yue Zhong waved his hands and threw some clothes to the 8 ladies, and commented: "Wear them! Come with me."
"Thank you!"
The 8 of them received the clothes, and their eyes immediately turned red. A few of them thanked him in low voices. Having been treated like this and having lost all sense of dignity at the hands of Jin Da Li, Yue Zhong's icy demeanor still provided them with a little respect.
"Since you want to know about your sister, come with me." He eyed Tian Hao and spoke coldly.
After which, he directly went towards an alley.
Xue Ning, Liu Xiao Cha and the other 8 women followed closely behind.
Tian Hao's body shuddered, and he stood up to hurry after them.
Yue Zhong's killing of Jin Da Li was witnessed by many people on the streets. At this time, many of the survivors that had soulless eyes began to stir. Some pounced on the dead bodyguards, hoping to get some items, while some made their way towards the headquarters of the town to relay what was happening. Very soon, the corpses of those bodyguards were stripped clean and transported away, leaving nothing behind.
Xue Ning followed Yue Zhong closely and asked curiously: "Where are we heading to now?"
Jin Da Li had been killed, and the Greater China Alliance would definitely not let things rest. They would flip the entire town over just to find the culprit. Xue Ning wanted to know what Yue Zhong's next move was.
Yue Zhong glanced at the lady that had opened her mouth earlier to say that Tian Jing was already dead, and ordered: "Take me to Jin Da Li's living quarters."
This beauty was the most mature and charming of the lot, exuding an attractive aura from head to toe. She also exhibited a hint of intelligence, and was obviously a person of position in the past.
In truth, this woman was called Zhao Ling. She had been the head of a successful group, and her net worth was in the millions. She was intelligent, strong and independent.
After the apocalypse happened, she had landed in the hands of Jin Da Li, and her independent nature had infuriated Jin Da Li, that was why he treated her like a bitch. Before that, she was the subject of his adoration and love, and knew many of his secrets.
Zhao Ling looked at Yue Zhong with immense respect and replied: Yes!"
After being punished to live like a slave, Zhao Ling found that her independence and strength as a person of position in the past didn't count for nuts in the present world. Those who were not as capable or good looking as her would be treated nicely just because they obeyed Jin Da Li. Although she was beautiful and sexy, because she wasn't willing to submit, she had been banished to the lowest rungs of Jin Da Li's slaves. It caused her to suffer a huge blow, and her pride had been thoroughly destroyed.
She brought Yue Zhong and the rest to a villa, pointing to it and said: "This is the villa that Jin Da Li resided in. However, there are many experts in there. There's also some form of alarm installed. The moment it rings, the entire Yang County would know of any strange movements here.
He followed the direction which Zhao Ling pointed, noting that there the villa covered over a hundred acres. Surrounding the villa, there were ponds, lush green trees, swimming pools, there was a basketball court even. It was built quite beautifully. It was also likely that the cost of the place must have been a few million.
Around the villa, 10 bodyguards were patrolling, and within the villa, god knows how many other experts there were.
"You guys wait here." After that, Yue Zhong disappeared in a flash.
In just a breath's time, he suddenly appeared in front of the 10 bodyguards, and activated his [Art of Fear, causing a powerful Spirit Attack to envelop the minds of those around him. The 10 bodyguards were caught unprepared and were immediately subjected to a terrifying hallucination, and fainted on the spot. With just a thought from Yue Zhong, it had broken their minds and caused them to be frightened to death.
After taking them down in a jiffy, Yue Zhong charged into the villa like a tornado with his speed that easily exceeded a Type 2 Lightning. As he ran, he continued to emit Spirit fluctuations through his [Art of Fear, causing anyone that came in contact to immediately convulse on the spot.
In 5 seconds, he had rushed all the way into the surveillance room, sending out a wave of Art of Fear. The 5 soldiers within the room instantly fainted and crumpled to the ground.
Yue Zhong stood for a moment in front of the monitors, taking in the images, and shot out of the room.
Boom!
Following a huge resounding boom, the doors in one of the halls were kicked down by Yue Zhong, and he discovered over 20 men currently entangled with some other women.
Of the 20 over men, some were on the floor, some were roaring with laughter, riding some of the women. Some were using whips and candles to torture the women as well. The women were all naked, drenched in sweat and all sorts of substances, lying down weakly. There was a strong sexual odor in the room.
Jin Da Li would usually gift his subordinates some of the women that he was bored with, and it wasn't just to win his subordinates over, it was also a form of entertainment.
"Who is it?!" Seeing the huge doors slammed open, a few of the men were jolted awake, and shouted out in shock. Some even wanted to prepare their equipments.
"The person who will rid the world of you bunch of trash!" A cold glint flashed in Yue Zhong's eyes, and he shot forwards like an arrow, while the Black Tooth Blade in his hands slashed out 20 times.
Yue Zhong's speed was terrifying. Even some Type 3 Beasts might not be able to match Yue Zhong. Each time he pushed himself, he would appear and disappear like a bolt of lightning. The 20-over men in the room that were engaged in their own romps were Enhancers of at least Level 20, but not a single one of them could defend against Yue Zhong's strike. Every single one of them were chopped in two, causing a large amount of blood to splatter, bathing the hall in a bright blood red.
"Ahhh!!!" When one of the beauties saw the man currently atop her sliced in two, and blood splattering all over her, she couldn't help herself and screamed out.
Yue Zhong eyed the women and barked out coldly: "Shut the hell up! Otherwise, you can die!"
As he stared at them, they felt an instinctive fear rising, and forced down their screams. This man was obviously a terrifying expert that had no qualms killing others, he would definitely not go easy on women either.
After taking care of all the experts in the hall, Yue Zhong walked towards a window and beckoned in.
Xue Ning and the rest entered the villa.
Soon, every other live personnel member was brought to the hall.
The men who were still alive were tied up and left one side, and on the other, 200 beauties of various looks, body proportions and age.
After Jin Da Li became the local tyrant, he liked to bully the men and lord over the women. Many of the women were captured into his harem, and any women he got sick of would be thrown aside or given to his subordinates.
Within the hall, Yue Zhong sat on a sofa, and Xue Ning and Liu Xiao Cha sat at his sides. By now, Liu Xiao Cha had cleaned her face of her disguise, revealing her clean and pretty face. She had a look of veneration and awe as she looked at Yue Zhong.
Zhao Ling stood quietly by one side, glancing at Yue Zhong from time to time, her heart still in shock: "So powerful!! This guy could actually take down the entire villa without a sound or alerting anybody. Incredible!"
Yue Zhong sat at the sofa and eyed Zhao Ling, asking mildly: "So what's the deal with Tian Jing's death?"
Tian Hao had been standing one side silently like a soulless man twitched a little, as his eyes shone with a complicated gaze when he stared at Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling replied with respect: "This lowly one replies! After Tian Jing had been captured by Jin Da Li, she was toyed with for a while before being thrown to the subordinates. One of the perverts under him had caused her to die in one of his games."
Tian Hao was pale white with shock as he hollered in disbelief: "You're lying!! I saw the video of her as well as her voice in his phone! You're lying, you're lying to me!!"
"All the sisters here knew about this. Liu Fang, Cheng Fei, Zhang Man, we all knew." Zhao Ling pointed to a few of the beauties in the room, before saying: "Those videos were pre-recorded. Tian Hao, have you even seen her in person?"
When Tian Hao heard this, his entire being was jolted, and it turned incredibly cold. He had never seen her once, and he knew in his heart, that what Zhao Ling said was true.

Chapter 511 – Thousand Hero Alliance! Snow Palace!
Translated by: Kun

When Tian Hao heard the words, he became still, his entire spirit seemingly crushed. Ever since he became an Evolver, he had been constantly fighting outside, gaining levels, becoming stronger. It was all to protect his one and only family left in the world – his sister. However, in a moment of folly, he had caused his sister to end up in Jin Da Li's hands, which in turn left him no choice but to serve as Jin Da Li's lapdog. Hearing the news of his sister's passing, even his willpower to live suffered a huge blow.
Yue Zhong took one look at Tian Hao and knew that it was a huge blow to his mental state. It felt like he had aged at least 20 years all of a sudden. He frowned and barked: "Tian Hao! If you want to die, I won't stop you. But if you were to die like that, you would only cause the ones you love more pain, and your enemies, pleasure! Jin Da Li was your enemy, but your real enemy is Jin Guang Xuan! If it wasn't for his protection, would a trash like Jin Da Li have been able to lay his hands on your sister? If you just die like that without killing Jin Guang Xuan, your sister would definitely not rest in peace in the netherworld! I had thought that you were a man of fortitude, but I didn't imagine that you would prove me wrong!"
"Since you're a trash yourself, I should have killed you at the first moment we clashed, that way you could have been sent on your way to meet your sister, and save me the burden of having to watch you wallow in self-pity!"
When Tian hao heard those harsh words, his dull eyes regained some form of clarity, as they shone with a renewed hatred and vigor: "Yes! There's still Jin Guang Xuan. I can't die yet. I need to make sure to punish him, and kill the entire Jin family!!"
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Yue Zhong!" Yue Zhong replied.
Tian Hao was intelligent as well, and saw that Yue Zhong's bitter words were meant to get him back on his feet. He gritted his teeth and swore: "Good! Yue Zhong, I know you've spent all this effort to help me, in the hopes of getting my help. I promise you, as long as you help me with my vengeance, my life will be yours to command! I, Tian Hao, might not be a big character, but I've never reneged on any promises I've made! I swear upon my name, that as long as you, Yue Zhong, help me to kill the Jin family, I will serve Yue Zhong with all my heart and life. If I should go back on my word, I will suffer a terrible death, and be treated as a dog for the rest of my life, and never to reincarnate after I die!"
Yue Zhong eyed Tian Hao with a look of satisfaction: "Good! Tian Hao, you can be assured, I will definitely help you with the Jin family. I am the leader of Gui Ning City, where there are over 900,000 survivors. Jin Guang Xuan had been a sore thumb to me for quite some time, once I've returned to Gui Ning City, I can deploy my troops to annihilate them easily!"
Tian Hao was a man of integrity and valued relationships. He would do what he set his mind to do. With a character like Jin Da Li, if Yue Zhong was in Tian Hao's shoes, he would have long since killed Jin Da Li off, as well as his entire family. He wouldn't have allowed himself to be blackmailed. This was because he knew that with such a character, Jin Da Li would never let naive folks like Tian Hao or his sister to have a good ending. Furthermore, Tian Hao had gone against his conscience to serve Jin Da Li, such a person was extremely useful to Yue Zhong. Furthermore, he was a dual-attribute Evolver, and his potential for growth was naturally high.
When Tian Hao heard Yue Zhong's words, he nodded slowly and sunk in his thoughts.
Everyone's gazes also fell on Yue Zhong, their eyes filled with shock. In this world, an establishment of over a few ten thousand people was already considered a huge faction. Yue Zhong was actually the leader of almost a million people, his strength was truly something else.
Yue Zhong was about to say something else, when a loud alarm resounded throughout Yang County.
Tian Hao's face fell as he immediately voiced out: "Not good! It means that there's an enemy launching an attack on Yang County!"
When Yue Zhong heard that, he launched into action, throwing his .05 guns to Xue Ning: "Ok! I'll go take a look. Tian Hao, follow me. Xue Ning, Liu Xiao Cha, Zhao Ling, I'll leave this place to you! Xue Ning will take the lead, don't let anything untowards happen here. If those fellows try anything funny, just execute them!"
Xue Ning was not only hot, but vicious in her methods. When Yue Zhong was engaged with Tian Hao in battle, she had taken the initiative to attack Jin Da Li to distract Tian Hao. Yue Zhong could be rest assured leaving things to her.
Xue Ning flashed an alluring smile at Yue Zhong, while saying confidently: "Got it! Boss! Make it quick, let's engage in some 6P tonight. I'm a virgin myself, and based on my judgement, there are a few beautiful ones here that are virgins as well!"
Xue Ning's brazen words caused Yue Zhong's figure to slightly tremble. He had never seen such an outspoken woman before. He had a number of women at his beck and call, but most of them were filled with respect and fear towards him. They all spoke extremely courteously. At most, they would tease him once in a while, but he had never seen someone who declared herself to be a virgin, and yet suggested a 6P in the same sentence before.
"Seems like it wasn't a bad decision to get her!" He swept an eye across her charming features and sexy figure, taking in that bright purple hair of hers that occurred due to evolving, and felt a tinge of excitement in his heart.
Yue Zhong only took a quick glance, and threw his thoughts to the back of his mind, before charging out with Tian Hao.
Outside of Yang County, there were 2 clear separate troops, one was all male, and the other, a mix of men and women. Of those troops, the men numbered in the 6,000s, while the women counted above 10,000.
With such manpower in this day and age, they can only be powerful factions, and they were precisely the Snow Palace and the Thousand Hero Alliance.
The Thousand Hero Alliance had a battalion of soldiers currently marching on Yang County, with a large number of its soldiers firing wildly.
As for Yang County, the defence mechanisms were engaged, as the heavy machine guns on the city walls began spewing fire, suppressing the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers. From time to time, there would be a Thousand Hero Alliance soldier that fell.
Behind those soldiers, there were 2 self-propelling rocket launchers firing projectiles towards the city wall as well.
Every projectile packed a powerful punch, as one round from the rocket launcher caused a huge hole in the city wall.
City walls were a form of defence that was used in ancient times, but had been relegated due to modern warfare. It was because the firepower from modern weapons were too powerful, and a city wall would not be able to withstand the blast impact from those weapons of destruction.
In between the 2 troops at the back, there was a joint forces command post, in charge of commanding the assault by the Thousand Hero Alliance and the Snow Palace.
A man stood in the command post, his height towering at 1.9m, his entire frame bulky and muscly. He had a full beard, his hair grizzly, his eyebrows thick. He wore a clean white shirt and black trousers, and while his attire didn't match his aura, it could not be denied that he was imposing and powerful. He was looking at a stunningly beautiful woman beside him, whose hair was a silvery-white and her body curvaceous. She had an otherworldly aura, and incredible features, which shone with an intense coldness and aloof nature. The man's eyes were filled with an undisguised lust as he spoke: "Snow Palace Master! It's your turn to send your people!"
The middle-aged man was precisely the leader of the Thousand Hero Alliance, Zhu Xiong Ba! He had single-handedly brought up this faction of 50,000 people and had over 7,000 direct subordinates. As for the cold and proud beauty, she was naturally the Palace Master of the Snow Palace faction, Shangguan Bing Xue.
"Attack!" Shangguan Bing Xue did not return Zhu Xiong Ba's gaze, instead turning to a pretty, short-haired soldier decked in military uniform. This person was Yun Chu Chu.
Yun Chu Chu replied in a respectful manner and stepped out to relay the orders: "Yes, Palace Master!"
Being disregarded by Shangguan Bing Xue, Zhu Xiong Ba's heart was filled with fury, and he entertained an extremely vile thought: "Little bitch, why the fuck are you acting so cool for? Once we're done with the Greater China Alliance, I'll capture you, and fuck you over and over in front of your subordinates. Since you hate men so much, your father, I, will get over a thousand men to play with you, and break you down! I'll see if you can still pretend to be so proud!"
Even though he was thinking such nasty thoughts, his face wore an awkward smile as he looked towards the distance.
Under Shangguan Bing Xue's orders, 6,000 men in tattered clothes walked out from their original contingent, each of them looking bedraggled. They carried long pontoons on their backs as they were forced to charge onwards by the female warriors behind, making their way towards Yang County.
In Yang County, the machine guns continued to fire out at the incoming male survivors, felling them like sowing wheat.
In just one volley of fire, the male survivors lost their composure and tried to turn and escape. These male survivors were the slaves of Snow Palace, having been made to eat the worst, do the worst kind of labour, and they naturally had low morale.
When women became vicious, they were even more terrifying than men. The entire Snow Palace basically propagated the poor treatment of the males.
One of the female enforcers brandished her sword and hacked away at the men, shouting: "Get the fuck out there!! Bunch of useless trash!!"
Numerous men were being killed left, right, centre, and behind as gouts of fresh blood dyed the scene.
Amidst the carnage, one of the male survivors could not hold back anymore and threw himself on a female soldier, shouting: "Everybody! Let's kill these crazy women! Only then will we get a chance to survive!!"
6 or 7 men immediately jumped forwards and began to bite and scratch the woman to death.
The shout from the first man had ignited the desire to survive, and the men instantly went crazy and turned on the female soldiers, drowning them beneath their bodies.
Like this, the male slaves of the Snow Palace turned around to bite their masters.
Yun Chu Chu ran urgently in front of Shangguan Bing Xue and said: "Palace Master! The men have rebelled!"

Chapter 512 – Shangguan Bing Xue
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
Shangguan Bing Xue's face frosted over, as she spoke in an incredibly icy tone: "Get Ding Mei to go and kill them all!"
In Shangguan Bing Xue's eyes, those men were utter trash and scum, not even comparable to pigs or dogs. She did not view them as human beings at all.
Yun Chu Chu felt a chill as she replied: "Yes!"
Zhu Xiong Ba glanced at Shangguan Bing Xue, his eyes flashing with a strange glint: "This woman is truly a lunatic and a maniac!"
On the battlefield, 500 female warriors dressed in white were led by Ding Mei, as they brandished their Tang Replica Swords and charged at the men in revolt. They unleashed carnage as swords flashed everywhere.
Every single one of the women were Enhancers above Level 20, and Ding Mei was a Level 50 Evolver. As they massacred their way through the ordinary male survivors, it was like unleashing a tiger into a herd of sheep.
"Traitors will die!!" Ding Mei was like a demoness as she flashed about the crowd, her alluring body dancing in and out. With every slash she made, a male survivor would be sliced in two.
Ding Mei had been the Chief of the Scarlet Phoenix Triad back at Gui Ning City, and when she lashed out, she was truly ferocious and her attacks were vicious. Due to her obscene speed, there wasn't a single sniper that could lock on her position.
With that valiant but cruel valkyrie leading her troops, the groupof male rebels instantly collapsed. Many of them wailed as they tried to run in all directions, but the female warriors chased them down, killing them.
"What a fool!" Yue Zhong was hidden in a corner of Yang County, observing the battlefield. When he saw the female warriors slaughtering the male survivors, he could not help but frown and curse!
While Shangguan Bing Xue's extreme measures were enough to deter any men from harboring intentions towards the women of the Snow Palace, she had just wasted a viable resource by killing the men. They were genetically more capable of warring, and she had just decided to do away with them because of the rebellion. To Yue Zhong, she had made a really stupid call.
At the same time, Yue Zhong had seen through Shangguan Bing Xue's true might, and it was that her core strength was the group of Enhanced female warriors. Other than them, they didn't even have many firearms, it could be seen that her faction wasn't too much of a threat to him.
"Great! Great! Great! Truly as I expected! This Shangguan Bing Xue is just putting on a false front." Zhu Xiong Ba watched as the Snow Palace female warriors chased down the male survivors and pressed a button in his hands.
At that time, the soldiers from the Thousand Hero Alliance marching towards Yang County suddenly turned around and began firing at the female warriors of the Snow Palace.
Under that hail of bullets, many of the strong female warriors were shot down, and they laid in pools of their own blood.
At the same time, the rest of the soldiers from the Thousand Hero Alliance began firing their weapons at the Snow Palace soldiers out of the blue. As the attack came suddenly, over a hundred Snow Palace female warriors were shot dead.
"Those who are men, kill these stinking bitches!"
"Kill the stinking bitches!! Everybody, take action!!"
"Kill them sticking bitches!! Join our Thousand Hero Alliance and gain proper freedom. Grab your own fate, become true men, and heroes!"
As the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers continued their assault, they hollered loudly.
The men who had been subjected to slavery and torment under the Snow Palace treatment instantly got fired up. They rose up in anger, and began their retaliation towards the female soldiers of the Snow Palace. They had been forced to do intense manual labour, and had been suppressing their hatred and fury. At this critical juncture, it all erupted, and became a huge roaring body of emotions.
"Zhu Xiong Ba! What's the meaning of this?!" When Shangguan Bing Xue saw her soldiers being attacked, her calm demeanor was replaced by an intense cold fury, as she glared at Zhu Xiong Ba with a frightening killing intent.
8 experts above Level 40 stepped up to stand beside Zhu Xiong Ba as they exchanged cold glares with Shangguan Bing Xue.
Zhu Xiong Ba stood behind them and roared with laughter: "Hahaha! I mean to eradicate both the Greater China Alliance as well as your Snow Palace today! Everyone will have to become a part of the Thousand Hero Alliance! Shangguan Bing Xue, if you know your position, kneel down immediately. Get your entire Snow Palace to submit, and you shall swear to become my woman. I will then dote on you. Otherwise, should you fall into my hands, I will treat you like the lowest of the low, and you will become a bitch, to be fucked by every single man that I give to!!"
By now, the Thousand Hero Alliance had gotten the upper hand in the betrayal, together with the uprising by the male survivors of the Snow Palace, the Snow Palace faction was being bombarded by attacks on all sides.
Many female warriors had just gotten into formation when they were blasted by fire. Although there were many experts in the Snow Palace, even if they activated their skills and took down a number of the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers, they were quickly disposed of as well.
Shangguan Bing Xue did not falter not display too much of a shock, instead, she assessed the situation coldly in her mind. She replied, without a hint of emotion in her cold exterior: "Without our Snow Palace, how would your Thousand Hero Alliance take down Yang County? Even if you defeat us, you will suffer casualties on your side, and you will fail in obtaining Yang County."
Zhu Xiong Ba stared at Shangguan Bing Xue with undisguised excitement, his mind full of thoughts of this absolute beauty grovelling and moaning beneath him. His entire body quivered with adrenaline and excitement: "Haha!! You're right! At first, it would have been extremely tough for my Thousand Hero Alliance to have to deal with both of you! However, we have received the aid of the Kingdom of God. They have provided sufficient firepower, as for your Snow Palace and the Greater China Alliance, both of you will be in my grasp today!"
At almost the same time as his speech, a loud whir of motors came roaring from a distance, as 10 Eurocopters burst into the scene, joining the battle.
The 10 Eurocopters began firing at the ground, and a number of Snow Palace warriors were instantly torn into shreds.
"Those are assault helicopters!"
"How did the Thousand Hero Alliance get those?!"
"Finished!! We're finished!!"
When they saw the 10 assault helicopters, almost everybody in Yang County and the Snow Palace had a huge change in expression, their morale dropping to the lowest.
There were no anti-air defences in Yang County, and the Snow Palace did not possess any either. Ordinary rifle bullets would not be able to pierce the hulls of these eurocopters and even high calibre machine gun bullets would not do much to them.
Shangguan Bing Xue eyed those monsters in the sky, her face still unchanged, as she conjured a green book in her hands: "As long as I kill you, it'll all be over!"
Zhu Xiong Ba was also a warlord and experienced fighter, and when he saw the book in Shangguan Bing Xue's hands, his face fell suddenly and he retreated backwards hastily, shouting out: "Kill her! Kill her now!"
6 of the 8 experts by Zhu Xiong Ba's side immediately shot forwards.
Amongst those 6 experts, one was an Agility-based Evolver, and in just a second, he had crossed a distance of over 13m, appearing in front of Shangguan Bing Xue with a dagger in his hands, slashing towards her abdomen like a vicious snake.
The move of the Agility Evolver was quick and vicious, and even an Enhancer of Level 60 would have to take him seriously. At the very least, there would have been an injury.
"Freeze!" Shangguan Bing Xue's eyes flashed coldly as the Level 6 Treasure: Bronze book of Snow and Ice in her hands opened. A white beam of ice shot out and swept across the Agility-based Evolver, directly turning him into a block of ice, extinguishing his life.
Shangguan Bing Xue eyed Zhu Xiong Ba, and shot towards him with the speed 15 times that of a normal human, like a flying fairy.
"Go to hell, Bitch!" A 2m-tall burly man wielding a huge mace swung towards Shangguan Bing Xue. If a low level Type 2 Mutant Beast was struck by that blow, it would be flattened instantly.
The Book of Snow and Ice in Shangguan Bing Xue's hands lit up one more, and a beam of ice shot at the burly expert, also turning him into ice.
Another 2 experts charged forwards, one turning into a were-leopard, the other into a werewolf, as they attacked her with a frightening strength and speed.
Shangguan Bing Xue quietly activated her book again, as 2 beams of ice hit the 2 experts squarely on the chest, turning them into ice sculptures as well.
Seeing how terrifying her strength was, turning everyone she willed into ice, the other 2 experts started to falter, and wanted to run, however, just as they turned, they were immediately encased in ice.
While Shangguan Bing Xue might not be a capable leader, the very fact that she was able to establish a faction that could house over 12,000 survivors, was testament to her personal power. Her Level 6 Book of Snow and Ice was incredibly terrifying. She was a Level 58 naturally awakened triple-attribute Evolver of Agility, Spirit and Stamina. At the same time, with her Second Order Ice Manipulation, as well as the control of the book, not many experts at her level were her match. As for lower-level Enhancers, they were simply unable to defend against her.
"Shit!! This woman is damn strong!" Zhu Xiong Ba felt a tremor in his heart brcause he knew she was powerful in the past, but didn't know it was to this extent. In a flash, 6 Level 40 experts had died at her hands.

Chapter 513 – Divine Envoy of Steel!

Zhu Xiong Ba shouted as he tried to run: "Fucking kill her!! Open fire!! Open fire!! Use the rockets!! Blast this bitch!!"
By now, he had no more thoughts of trying to capture Shangguan Bing Xue alive, he just wanted to kill her.
2 squads of soldiers suddenly appeared, as they began firing wildly at her. Another few soldiers wielded some rocket launchers, aiming at her before firing.
"Wall of Ice!" Shangguan Bing Xue looked at the incoming projectiles and bullets, and her cold expression shook slightly. With a thought of her mind, a terrifying frosty aura congealed into a huge wall in front of her.
When the rockets landed on the wall of ice, they blasted it apart, and even impacted Shangguan Bing Xue behind the wall.
"Is she dead?" Zhu Xiong Ba's subordinates looked towards the aftermath of the blast.
"Ice Bullets!" Following a high, cold voice, thousands of ice beads shot outwards in various directions.
These ice bullets were like rifle bullets, easily piercing the bodies of the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers present, causing them to fall to the ground, dead.
Shangguan Bing Xue walked out from behind the debris and destruction, still holding on to her Book of Snow and Ice, looking like a fairy, as she swept her eyes around.
There was indeed a possibility of the rockets taking her life, however, they had to land on her face. She had employed a number of means to deal with those rockets, causing them to be ineffective at the end.
Shangguan Bing Xue looked around, noting the numerous soldiers lying on the ground, but the leader Zhu Xiong Ba was nowhere to be seen.
"Shit!" Her icy expression finally broke to reveal an expression of fury. She waved her hands, and countless ice bullets congealed to finish off the soldiers. If it wasn't for their interruption, she could have killed that damned Zhu Xiong Ba already.
"They're fighting internally! Now's a good chance!" The various members of the Greater China Alliance within Yang County saw the crazy slaughter between the Snow Palace and Thousand Hero Alliance and became excited: "Attack! Attack! Now's our only chance!"
The city gates opened, and elite soldiers of the Greater China Alliance rushed out towards the Thousand Hero Alliance. If the Snow Palace was eradicated by the Thousand Hero Alliance, with the support of the Kingdom of God, the Thousand Hero Alliance was bound to swallow the other 2 factions.
No matter how strong Shangguan Bing Xue was, she was only one person. Killing many would require the expenditure of Stamina and Spirit. At the end, against the mighty firepower of the Thousand Hero Alliance, she would have to escape as well.
The moment the Greater China Alliance joined the fray, it became an all-out clash between the Thousand Hero Alliance and the other 2 factions.
However, the Eurocopters in the skies were truly terrifying, unleashing their rain of bullets like a cleaving blade that tore through the body of many soldiers. Numerous experts fell as a result.
Even when working together, the soldiers of the Greater China Alliance and the female warriors of the Snow Palace could not withstand the might of the Thousand Hero Alliance. Technology had the upper hand in large-scale battles. In front of those assault helicopters, it didn't matter if the soldiers were Level 30 or Level 40 Enhancers. As long as they were hit by the firepower, they would be torn to shreds or blasted to pieces.
The assault helicopters had cannons on them, and with each rocket fired, the blast would shake the ground. The projectiles would turn numerous experts into ashes and dust within a second.
The soldiers of the Greater China Alliance were trying to use their rifles to fire at the assault helicopters, and some of the experts with firearms proficiency-related skills managed to hit the assault helicopters, however, the bullets would just ricochet off the armor.
All of a sudden, with a bright flash, a bullet shot through the air, and punctured the armor of one assault helicopter, causing it to combust and explode.
Yue Zhong took a look at the fireball in the sky that was falling to the ground, and thought quietly: "Enhanced Bullets!! That was definitely an expert firing a powerful enhanced bullet."
With one assault helicopter down, the rest of the helicopters went crazy. They increased their firing output, and blasted towards the direction where the shot came from. The entire area was bombarded in seconds, and swallowed up by countless blast impacts.
The expert that had fired that enhanced bullet was blasted to smithereens, together with the entire area.
"Come with me! Let's go get rid of Jin Sheng Cheng now!" Yue Zhong ordered Tian Hao beside him.
Tian Hao's eyes flashed with a fiery gaze.
Yue Zhong disappeared from his position, making his way towards the command centre in Yang County.
The command centre at Yang County was within a villa. There were many Greater China Alliance soldiers stationed everywhere, numbering at least 200, every one of them possessing a firearm and decent equipment. At the same time, the villa had quite a number of security cameras.
"What a thick defence!" Yue Zhong approached the villa and he frowned. The defences were tight, and the soldiers were numerous. With his might, other than charging in headlong, there were no better options.
Just as he was pondering, 12 technologically advanced-looking helicopters that were coated with a silvery lustre, and loaded with weapons thrice that of an Apache, as well as a body that was also more than three times the size of an Apache flew over.
Yue Zhong looked at those 12 armed helicopters that looked technologically advanced and his heart was filled with shock: "What are those? I've never seen them before!"
Yue Zhong had seen a number of designs for the various modern weapons before the apocalypse in school, but he had never seen anything like those in front of him now.
The 12 futuristic assault helicopters began to launch a volley of rapid fire, consisting of bullets and projectiles of different sizes and calibres. The hail of metal rained down on the entire villa and its region, blasting various parts and killing many of the soldiers.
In one of the helicopters, there was a blond man with blue eyes, wearing a suit. He had incredibly good looks, and was holding a wine glass in his hands. At his feet, there were 2 beautiful Chinese girls helping to massage his feet. He was staring out the window in boredom, and as he watched the carnage and devastation happening below, he sighed in wonder: "So beautiful! It truly is an experience, watching these wild monkeys being bombed to pieces. However, some of these Chinese women are not too bad, they can be our toys."
Another man who was dressed in a silver military uniform, raised his own glass of wine towards the handsome man and chuckled: "Esteemed Envoy, this time, having completed such a task delegated by the Elders, you should definitely be promoted to an Apostle. At that time, please do look out for me."
The handsome young man was called Halumanda! He was the 13th seat of the 36 Divine Envoys of the Kingdom of God, known as the Divine Envoy of Steel. He was a dual-attribute Evolver of the Spirit and Agility attributes, and was also a Paladin, having grasped the skill Knight's Heart, possessing a terrifying combat ability.
There were 12 Apostles in the Kingdom of God, each of them were the closest to God in terms of power. Since they had monstrous power as well as absolute command of their soldiers, they were geniuses amongst geniuses and most of them were Heretical Christians
Under the 12 Apostles, were the 36 Divine Envoys. Each of these Divine Envoys were also genuses, while even the weakest was a dual-attribute Evolver, and the lowest level was at least 56.
Other than that, the Kingdom of God actually controlled a newbie village, allowing their experts to enter it to get job changes, becoming much stronger than normal Enhancers. Yue Zhong was stronger than most Enhancers was because he had went through a job change into his Dark Knight profession in one such village. At the same time, there were various other wondrous items in the village, when Yue Zhong had entered at that time, due to his lack of level, he couldn't fully appreciate what was possible.*
Halumanda chuckled lightly: "It doesn't work like that! The 12 Apostles are all powerful entities, and are far beyond my capabilities. However, after completing this task, I should be able to increase in my ranking amongst the Divine Envoys list. At that time, I will definitely put in a good word for you, Dus."
Dus became excited when he heard that. As long as Halumanda helped to say some complimentary words, he would likely be transferred back to the European quarters. He loathed being here in the Asia-Pacific region, where there were countless zombies and Mutant Beasts. "Many thanks, Esteemed Envoy!"
Halumanda then replied indifferently: "Alright! Take action!"
Dus' face turned serious as he ordered: "Yes! All stations standby, Operation Silver Fox activated."
With Dus' order, a number of soldiers dressed in black military uniforms and armed to the teeth leapt from the assault helicopters, employing their parachutes as they landed.
Every single one of these soldiers were quick and agile in their actions, and they were experienced. They were special forces that had went through body enhancements, and the moment they landed, they went into formation. They began taking down any soldiers that were still alive.
The assault helicopters that hovered in the air also began to descent, as a number of soldiers in silver military uniforms and cold looks came out to set up a perimeter, while Halumanda strode out like a lord.
The soldiers in the black military uniform swiftly took down all the remaining Greater China Alliance soldiers and came to a pile of rubble.
2 soldiers in the silver military uniform walked towards the rubble and waved their hands, causing the debris to fly away, revealing a tunnel that went deep underground.

Chapter 514 – Seize The Opportunity
Translated by: Kun

"What is that place?" When Yue Zhong saw the tunnel, he was shocked. He had never expected for a tunnel to appear here. Such a secretive measure was beyond what he had experienced in his everyday ordinary life before the apocalypse.
The soldiers in black went down the tunnel orderly and swiftly, and soon the sounds of gunfire and explosions traveled from the tunnel.
"Seems like the Greater China Alliance is not simple." Yue Zhong looked at the tunnel and thought to himself.
He had originally assumed that the Greater China Alliance was an ordinary faction in the apocalypse, but it seemed that they were hiding some secrets.
After all the soldiers in black went down the tunnel, the soldiers in silver followed suit, covering the imposing Halumanda, as they charged in.
In front of the 12 silver futuristic assault helicopters, there were only 24 soldiers in silver standing guard.
"Chance!" Yue Zhong looked at the 12 silver futuristic helicopters and made his way carefully there.
The assault helicopters had a terrifying impact on the battlefield, each and everyone like a tank in mid air. With the support of these, the Thousand Hero Alliance could easily crush the people from the Snow Palace or Greater China Alliance. It was testament to their might.
If he could obtain these 12 futuristic assault helicopters that were three times larger than even the Apaches, Yue Zhong would have obtained a powerful addition to his arsenal, and it would be almost effortless to suppress any smaller factions.
He sneaked carefully, before suddenly pouncing towards one of the soldiers in silver.
With his maximum speed that could exceed even a Type 2 Lightning, he took barely a second to cross the distance of over 15m. He appeared behind the soldier and slashed down, decapitating him.
On the other side, Tian Hao had also followed closely behind and charged out at another soldier, slaughtering him.
"Ambush!! Ambush!!" After Yue Zhong had killed the 4th soldier in silver, one of their comrades finally managed to react and shout out.
The remaining soldiers immediately got into formation, each of them with a speed that exceeded normal humans. In almost an instant, they were ready to respond to the situation.
"Strong! They're definitely Enhancers above Level 30!" Yue Zhong eyed the quick response of the remaining soldiers, who were already pointing their weapons at him, and felt a chill in his heart.
Yue Zhong could easily deploy a troop of his own consisting of 20 Level 30 experts, but he had no confidence they would be able to deal with any situation anywhere else outside. At the very least, they could not be compared to the troops in front of Yue Zhong now.
The moment they got into their combat formation, they began using their weapons and grenades, launching a fierce assault on Yue Zhong and Tian Hao.
After killing 3 men, Tian Hao was totally suppressed by the fierce gunfire, and he could not risk sticking his neck out. If it were a one-on-one, with his dual-attributes and high level, it was enough to casually deal with any of these soldiers.
However, when up against an entire troop making use of modern weaponry, he was suppressed. If he wasn't careful, he could be killed. While it was true that Evolvers had body constitutions far surpassing any ordinary people, they weren't invincible.
At the same time, the rotors of the 12 assault helicopters began to whir, as the helicopters rose into the skies. The moment they were in the skies, they could exhibit their maximum power, and become an impregnable fortress.
"I can't let them get in the air!" Yue Zhong eyed those assault helicopters and his eyes flashed with a chilly light. He activated his [Art of Fear, sending an immense Spirit wave outwards in all directions.
He darted about near the assault helicopters, and the intense Spirit fluctuations he was emitting out penetrated the hulls of the helicopters and overloaded the pilots, causing them to faint.
With the decommissioning of the pilots, the assault helicopters struggled a little more, before ultimately stopping their ascent.
Every elite soldier of this silver uniform unit was specialized, and had focused on strengthening their soldier skill sets. Their gun control were all raised to a Level 3 standard, and anything within a close distance would be an accurate hit. Even for Yue Zhong, who was insanely strong, he was hit by 2 bullets squarely while attacking the pilots of the assault helicopters.
After the dust settled, a white shield appeared in front of Yue Zhong, and he charged out from the dust, waving the 2m-long Black Tooth Blade in his hands about. With the flash of his blade, a number of the soldiers in silver were directly slashed in 2.
When Yue Zhong went all out, his attacks were truly ferocious and decisive. Within 7 seconds, the remaining elite soldiers were all taken care of, and their corpses littered the ground.
"So strong! Is this his true strength? He's truly too terrifying." Tian Hao watched in shock as Yue Zhong flashed about the battlefield like a death god. He himself was held in check by just 5 of those elite soldiers, if he had to face those 24 soldiers by himself, he could only rely on assassinating 2 from behind before falling back. Otherwise, he would definitely be surrounded and killed.
"These elite soldiers from the Kingdom of God are truly powerful!" After killing them, Yue Zhong looked at the corpses, frowning. They had proved to be more than just a nuisance.
With Yue Zhong's current strength, taking down a squad of elite soldiers wouldn't be an issue for him. He wouldn't even be hit once. However, against this particular troop, he realised that he had suffered a few blows from them, and it could be seen how terrifying their strength was.
These elite soldiers had gone through specialization training, their equipment decent and well-rounded, and they were even trained rigorously in the military. They were definitely many times stronger than the special forces of the past. It wasn't that their qualifications were better than those, it was purely due to their enhanced bodies, surpassing those normal soldiers of old.
Yue Zhong came to one of the corpses, and retrieved the .03 rifle from his corpse, before firing a shot at the body.
When the bullet round landed on the uniform, there was only a white scar, and the bullet was unable to penetrate the uniform. It was obvious that the material was extremely resilient.
Looking at the result of his test, Yue Zhong's expression changed in shock: "What a powerful defensive suit!"
Yue Zhong had something similar, but he required the hide of those Type 2 Mutant Beasts, and it was hard to manufacture. Only the elites of his elites could wear them.
These silver uniforms of the Kingdom of God was obviously a result of technology, and the technology behind it was extremely refined and mature, being able to repel bullets, yet remain light at the same time.
From these battle uniforms, the disparity between Yue Zhong's faction and the Kingdom of God in terms of technology and research could be seen.
"Come with me!" Yue Zhong shot a look at Tian Hao before dragging out all the pilots.
Tian Hao was of only one mind to kill Jin Sheng Cheng, Yue Zhong had no way of forcing him to remain here, hence he decided for them to enter the tunnel together.
Hearing his words, Tian Hao's eyes flashed, and he followed closely behind.
Such tunnels were most likely built as a means to hide from any bombs during warfare. Every part of the country would have some sort of bunkers and tunnels like these, and the locations would usually be secretive, not known to many.
Even if a nuclear bomb were to went off on Yang County, it could desecrate everything above ground, but the underground would be safe from the impact.
The moment they entered the tunnel, they saw many bodies along the way, and the corpses belonged to the soldiers of the Greater China Alliance. Every one of those soldiers wore ordinary military uniform, and had been taken out by single shots. Many of the automatic defensives systems were disengaged or destroyed.
Although it was underground, their surroundings were well lit by lamps hanging on either side of the walls. It cause the entire tunnel to be bright. The expenditure just to maintain the lights must be costly.
The tunnels were numerous, like some ant hive. It could easily accommodate at least a few hundred thousands of people. If there was no guide, one would definitely get lost within the huge area.
Yue Zhong followed the trail of corpses and blood, close on the heels of the bloody footprints of the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God would definitely not engage in something useless, hence they must have had a clear goal, and would not stop until they achieve what they entered the tunnels to do.

Chapter 515 – Underground City!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: Ulamog, Dedition
Yue Zhong proceeded extremely carefully for a long distance, before reaching the experts of the Kingdom of God.
In one tunnel, of the 120 soldiers that had charged forth, they had only lost 5. Other than that, over 200 Chinese had defected over to the Kingdom of God's side. A huge, tall man who was good-looking, and had a dignified aura stood beside Halumanda as he laughed coldly at the scene in front of him.
Jin Sheng Cheng's enraged voice sounded from a loudhailer: "Hu Han, you actually conspired with the foreigners to backstab our Greater China Alliance! You're a traitor that deserves death! Dog!! I was really blind, to have spared you then!!"
The underground city was huge and had plenty of tunnels as well as countless traps. If it wasn't for the guidance of someone on the inside, they wouldn't have been defeated so easily by the Kingdom of God.
The handsome middle-aged man had a slightly flushed face as he barked back: "Jin Sheng Cheng, you dare? You damn pig-head, trash, beast! You sent me out on a mission and fucked my wife, and even got others to humiliate her as well?! You think I didn't know? Every single one of you in the upper echelons of the Greater China Alliance are bastards!! How I wish to devour you and dig out your hearts! Even if I collude with the foreigners today, what can you do? As long as I can kill your entire family, even if your father, I, have to sell my soul to the devil, I'd be willing!!"
As the saying goes, with corrupt leaders, you'll find corrupt subordinates. Jin Sheng Cheng wasn't any decent man, and he loved to screw around with his subordinates' wives, daughters and any other females in their lives. He basically didn't bother too much about the quality of lives of the survivors.
Jin Sheng Cheng had been a high-ranking official before the apocalypse, and after gaining the underground city, he was cautious at first. However, after a few months of unsuccessful attempts to contact the central government, he began to play around with the women in his city, and act upon his desires.
As he got even more audacious, he felt that normal women weren't worth the thrill anymore, and turned his attention to the women of his subordinates. In truth, not to mention the apocalypse, even before the apocalypse, there were countless officials who would fool around with the women of their subordinates, some even going as far as to keep a journal of them. After the apocalypse, these inhumane bastards got even more perverse.
When Hu Han's wife was toyed around with, he had been suppressing his rage, until the Kingdom of God came knocking on his door. He then quietly became their spy. This was why the underground city was breached so easily. The fastest way to bring down a fortress was from within.
On the other side, Jin Sheng Cheng assumed his habitual pose of using reason and rationale: "Hu Han, whatever happened, you shouldn't have joined forces with them! If you continue like this, you're a sinner that turned his back on his people and country! You will be shamed in history, and be cursed by our fellow Chinese! Turn back now while it's still not too late. Kill those foreigners beside you, and you're still a hero to us Chinese."
Hu Han immediately spat, his face savage and furious: "Pei!! Jin Sheng Cheng! I swear to fucking kill your family today!!!"
Jin Sheng Cheng replied with a cold laugh: "Stubborn till death! You'll be smeared forever in history!!"
An automatic machine gun suddenly appeared in the dark tunnel and started firing wildly at the advancing troops of the Kingdom of God.
Under that dense barrage, a number of the Kingdom of God soldiers, as well as some of the Chinese that betrayed the Greater China Alliance were punched full of holes.
The majority of the soldiers from the Kingdom of God wore strong protective vests. Even when fired at, they managed to make it behind cover. However, the Chinese traitors weren't so lucky, and many of them were killed.
Many similar automatic machine guns appeared in various other tunnels, their total number at least in the hundreds. As they covered all aspects, even a mosquito would find it hard to fly safely through.
Even a battalion of elites would only die if they chose to charge down these tunnels.
Hu Han came in front of Halumanda and spoke respectfully: "Divine Envoy, this is one of the strongest and final defenses of the underground city. If we can break past these, we would be able to reach the places where those beasts are hiding. The machine guns are being controlled by their side, and I have no means of turning them off."
"Hmph! Do they want to rely on just this to block me? Break them for me!" Halumanda laughed coldly as he stepped forwards, looking like an emperor as he stepped through the tunnel. He activated his Second Order Metal Manipulation.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
Within the tunnel, many of the automatic machine guns were forcibly twisted and the bullets jammed before they exploded into fragments. All it took was for Halumanda to stroll casually and twist any of the guns that he came across. It showed his incredible strength.
"Too frightening!! Why is he so terrifying? What the hell is he??" Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest who were hiding deep within the underground city stared at the screen and could not help but feel fear. They had seen countless Enhancers, and Evolver, but never such a person who could forcibly destroy so many machine guns so easily.
As the hundreds of automatic machine guns were destroyed one by one, Jin Sheng Cheng's image appeared on one of the displays within the tunnels. His attitude was extremely subservient, as he used fluent English to try and negotiate: "Esteemed Envoy from the Kingdom of God!! We're willing to surrender! Please ensure our personal property and the safety of our men. If you can do so, we will immediately deactivate all defenses, and grant you control of the place. With our help, you can easily manage this area consisting of over 90,000 survivors and other resources."
With the destruction of the machine guns, the safety of Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest could not be guaranteed and they immediately abandoned their loath and hate for the foreigners, choosing instead to surrender.
Many times, history had shown that while a rare few would continue their resistance until the end in times of trouble, a vast majority were death-fearing cowards. When the Manchus invaded, many Qing officials gave up. When Japan invaded China, countless officials turned sides. Even Wang Jing Wei, a Chinese politician during that time, chose to be a lapdog for the Japanese.
As for his command of English, Jin Sheng Cheng had plans before to move to America to become a citizen, and hence, his English was decent.
Halumanda smiled proudly as he replied: "I'm the Divine Envoy Halumanda from the Kingdom of God. As long as you guys help us to control this underground city, you'll be part of us, and all your personal belongings and people will be protected by our Kingdom of God."
While Halumanda was strong and was a white supremacist, he wasn't a fool. Although their troops were truly powerful, and had plenty of equipment, defeating the Greater China Alliance would not be difficult, but controlling the underground city without their assistance would definitely not be easy.
Jin Sheng Cheng was already the leader of this place, and if they worked together, the Kingdom of God could expedite the process of control over this underground city.
Jin Sheng Cheng immediately exclaimed in joy: "Many thanks, Divine Envoy! Thank you!!"
Hu Han's expression immediately turned ugly as he spoke up: "Divine Envoy! This wasn't what we agreed on! Didn't we agree for me to help you control the city if you help me destroy those bastards?!"
Hu Han was extremely clear, if Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest retained control, the whole bunch of traitors would be put to death.
Halumanda turned to shoot a cold glare at Hu Han: "Shut up! What qualifications do you have to question my decision? You want to challenge my position?"
Hu Han gulped and immediately lowered his head, his eyes flashing with a venomous look: "Your subordinate dare not!"
Although Hu Han had over 200 Chinese soldiers with him, compared to the elite of the Kingdom of God, it was truly too vast a difference. Be it equipment, experience or even body constitution. If the Kingdom of God really wanted to deal with them, it wouldn't take more than half an hour.
The moment Jin Sheng Cheng and Halumanda came to an agreement, a golden door was slowly opened.
"It's time!" Yue Zhong eyed the party entering the door from afar, and leaped out, firing a rocket towards Halumanda and his men.
"Ambush!!" Halumanda wasn't one of the 36 Divine Envoys for nothing, the moment Yue Zhong had laid aim on him, he had already sensed the danger and bellowed in rage.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed as he pulled the trigger.
With a flash of fire, a rocket exploded in the area.
Yue Zhong threw the rocket launcher aside, and his eyes flashed with a strange glint as he swapped out 2 .05 machine guns, and he began firing. Under that sudden burst of fire, 5 Kingdom of God soldiers had their heads exploded.
Tian Hao who was beside Yue Zhong also displayed his terrifying combat ability, as he wielded the 12.7mm heavy machine gun that Yue Zhong passed him, and fired wildly.
The heavy caliber bullets instantly pummeled the bodies of the ordinary soldiers, tearing them into pieces.
"You're all seeking death!" At this moment, Halumanda's enraged voice roared throughout the tunnel, and his body was instantly encased in metal. He became some sort of a 3m-tall iron-clad man. The bullets that rained on him ricocheted off, leaving only white marks.
Halumanda made use of his Second Order Metal Manipulation to cover his whole body, becoming an iron-clad soldier impervious to all guns and weapons. He then raised his right hand, firing numerous steel balls at Yue Zhong and Tian Hao like some machine gun.
TN: In Chapter 513, the Divine Envoy of Steel was called Halumanda, and his subordinate was called Gus, somehow I think the author got them mixed up here, because he refers to Dus as a metal bending badass. I've taken the liberty to change the name to Halumanda.

Yue Zhong dodged to the side.
Tian Hao's speed wasn't slow but he was still struck by a few rounds, causing bloody holes in his body. He didn't possess any Type 2 Mutant Beast hide or similar defenses, hence his defenses were low. He could not defend against that strike.
As an Agility and Strength-type dual attribute Evolver, he was efficient in his assassinations. However, he was countered by Spirit-type experts with defenses.
Yue Zhong used a mirror to catch a glimpse of Halumanda, before a grenade appeared in his hands and he flung it over.
Halumanda's eyes flashed with a chilly light, as he fired more metal beads with his metal arm. The grenade instantly detonated in mid-air, and the ball bearings shot out in all directions, yet not injuring Halumanda in the slightest.
Yue Zhong swapped out a rocket, and leaped out, firing a single round at Halumanda.
"Fool! Rockets are ineffective against me!" Halumanda waved his hands as he grinned savagely, and countless metal ball bearings were fired at Yue Zhong again.
The rocket immediately exploded upon impact, once again not doing any damage to Halumanda.
"Strong!" Yue Zhong's heart turned cold and knew that he had come across a tough opponent.
The iron-clad Halumanda seemingly invulnerable, and the impact from any heavy caliber bullets only served to blast the armor, leaving behind only faint marks.
While the rockets could possibly deal damage, how would Halumanda allow them to reach him? Amongst all his enemies, Halumanda was truly the strongest enemy that Yue Zhong had come across.
Yue Zhong's pupils narrowed and he sent out a blast of [Art of Fear].
"Spirit attacks? It's useless too! I'm also a Spirit-based Evolver, and such an attack is useless against me." When Halumanda received the attack, he shook it off and laughed coldly. He then charged towards Yue Zhong threateningly, intending to pummel him.
"Is that so? It's too bad my ability is the perfect counter to you! You can burn for me!" Yue Zhong looked Halumanda nearing him like a huge metal statue. His eyes flashed with a cold gloating look, and he waved his hands to activate his Devil Flame. An intense fiery tornado blew towards the iron-clad Halumanda.
If Halumanda came into direct contact with that fearsome Devil Flame, even if it could not melt his metal armor, it would cook him alive.
While the Devil Flame was not comparable to many other defensive skills, its destruction ability was truly terrifying.
"Flame Manipulation! Door of Steel!" When Halumanda saw the fiery tornado, his face turned pale and he quickly activated his Second Order Steel Manipulation skill again, grabbing in thin air, as a number of steel beams, iron sand, iron bars and doors flew from the tunnel, forming a huge door in front of him.
The flaming tornado was blocked by the Door of Steel, but due to the intense heat, the door began to melt, turning into a puddle of metal liquid.
Just as the door had finished melting, a new door appeared in its place to defend against that tornado of fire.
After the flaming tornado managed to melt through 4 such doors under Yue Zhong's control, it finally lost its steam.
"Fuck! I can't continue like this, otherwise, I'll suffer even if I defeated that bastard." Yue Zhong came to a judgment.
Halumanda was truly a terrifying opponent, as the Divine Envoy of Steel, with his steel defense, it was tough to deal with him.
Yue Zhong flipped his hand, and another rocket launcher appeared, as he fired a rocket at the door.
With a blast, the door of steel was instantly destroyed.
"What do we do? Divine Envoy?" One of the experts of the Kingdom of God immediately asked Halumanda. He could see that Yue Zhong was not weaker than their Divine Envoy, and was currently anxious.
Halumanda eyed Hu Han and ordered: "Hu Han! Bring your men and defend this location. If you're successful, when I gain control of the city, I will recommend for you to be the leader of this location. I'll hand Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest to you then."
Hu Han immediately looked at Halumanda with an expression of respect: "Yes! Divine Envoy, I'll definitely make sure no enemies of the Kingdom of God will pass through!"
Halumanda then turned around as he brought his men further into the underground city: "Very good. Let's go. We can talk more once I've gained control of the city."
When Halumanda and the rest left, Hu Han looked at their backs and spat on the ground, his eyes flashing with a ferocious glint: "Pei! You want to treat us like cannon fodder. You think we're fools? These damn foreigners, not a single one of them is worth shit."
Hong!!
Following the loud sound of an explosion, the last door was blasted apart, and Yue Zhong appeared like a specter.
When Hu Han saw Yue Zhong, he immediately knelt on the floor, declaring loudly: "Sir! I'm Hu Han! I was one of the people in charge of the defenses of this underground city. I'm extremely familiar with the place. I'm willing to submit, let me be your subordinate."
Hu Han was willing to even sell himself out to the foreigners for the sake of revenge. He had long since abandoned all thoughts of pride, backbone, and shame. He just lived for revenge. He was also intelligent and knew he was definitely not Yue Zhong's match. Hence, he made the decision to bring his 200 men to submit.
Yue Zhong eyed him and ordered: "Fine! I'm Yue Zhong. From now on you're my subordinate, I appoint you to be the commanding officer of your troops, for now, take your men, and follow me in!"
Even Tian Hao would have no difficulty wiping out Hu Han and his motley crew, hence Yue Zhong wasn't afraid of any backstabbing. With someone like Hu Han who knew the way, he would be able to navigate the place easily.
"Yes, Boss Yue." Hu Han glanced at his men and roared: "Brothers, follow me!"
Yue Zhong did not stop as he continued to charge forth. However, in just a few steps, the once-open huge door was now closed, barring his way.
A screen suddenly lit up, with Jin Sheng Cheng on the screen admonishing Yue Zhong with a cold look: "Who are you? This is a secretive national base! It's not for someone like you. Get out! Otherwise, you'll be termed as a traitor to the government and the people!"
Yue Zhong eyed the screen frostily: "Open the door immediately. Otherwise, I'll raze your whole family to the ground when I break in!"
"You dare! You fucking traitor, you've let down the government, you've let down the people…."
"You really bullshit a lot!" He pulled out his gun and blasted the screen to pieces.
"Hack the door down!" Yue Zhong handed his Black Tooth Blade to Tian Hao.
Tian Hao received the sword and with a loud roar of rage, he exerted his Strength that was 14 times that of a normal person and immediately sliced the door open.
Yue Zhong then charged through the door.
Just as he made it past the door into yet another tunnel, 5 Kingdom of God soldiers suddenly darted out.
They were about to make their move, when the Stinger in Yue Zhong's hand already fired 5 times in rapid succession, immediately blasting the heads of the soldiers apart.
Yue Zhong reached the end of the tunnel in one breath, and he was about to continue forward when his face fell, and he retreated backward hastily.
Hong! Hong!
The entire area had been rigged with 10 remote-controlled bombs, and the resulting explosion enveloped Yue Zhong. The soldiers of the Kingdom of God were truly elites and professionals, after all, possessing experience dealing with other experts. Such an explosion could easily dismember an Agility and Strength-type Evolver. Only those with decent protection or special defensive skills would be able to survive.
"Fuck! We're finished! Should we run?" Hu Han saw Yue Zhong being enveloped by the explosion, and he gulped, his expression ugly and his heart filled with regret and fear.
"Is he dead?" A few elite soldiers from the Kingdom of God looked at the direction of the explosion and wondered.
As the dust settled, Yue Zhong's white shield shone as he leaped out, charging towards the soldiers of the Kingdom of God with lightning-speed. As he slashed out with his blade, those soldiers were immediately sliced apart. They never stood a chance.
"He didn't die!"
"Be on guard!"
"Ah!"
Yue Zhong was truly unstoppable as he darted about, killing the soldiers from the Kingdom of God. No one could stop him, and everywhere he went, carnage ensued.
Any soldier at a distance could still try to fire their weapons to suppress him, but the moment he got close, no one was his match.
"Strong!! He's too scary!!" Hu Han saw Yue Zhong slaughtering the soldiers of the Kingdom of God like a tiger amongst lambs, and his heart was filled with excitement and a desire to do battle. He had some hope for his revenge.
Within a brightly lit room, Halumanda and 12 soldiers in silver eyed a middle-aged man who was extremely fat and had fat for brains.
"Laser gun designs! Hand them to me!" Halumanda looked at the pale white fat man and ordered.
This middle-aged man was precisely the leader of the underground city, Jin Sheng Cheng.
"Yes. These are the designs!" Jin Sheng Cheng handed the designs over with a toady look.

Chapter 517 – Burning Halumanda!
Translated by: Kun
Unedited
Halumanda held up the laser guns design and his eyes lit up in excitement, laughing wildly: "Good!! With this treasure, I'll definitely be able to raise my position amongst the Divine Envoys! Haha!"
Over at Europe, the laser gun had already been realized in their research labs, but due to various reasons, they had not been able to manufacture them. However, due to them already collected various materials, the moment they got their hands on the design, they would definitely be able to produce such a futuristic and technologically advanced weapon.
When the laser guns enter mass-scale production, the combat prowess of the Kingdom of God would increase by more than three times. This was the might of science and research. Not even the [Raven] combat uniform or any defenses from Type 2 Mutant Beasts would be able to defend against a strike from the laser guns.
Although Jin Sheng Cheng and his men had somehow managed to obtain the designs very early on, they didn't have the means to manufacture them. Even Yue Zhong would not have the means to do so.
Since the Kingdom of God possessed such a vast amount of resources, if Halumanda's position could rise, then his resources would naturally increase as well.
Just as Halumanda was laughing, a huge gold door was blasted open, as Yue Zhong strode in, and he saw the blueprints immediately.
"Those advanced designs must not land in those people from the Kingdom of God!" Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed. Such a technologically advanced design was scrap paper in the hands of ordinary people, but if the Kingdom of God obtained it, they would quickly become a terrifying force with no equal.
Yue Zhong sent a fistful of Devil Flame shooting over with a thought of his mind, intending to incinerate Halumanda.
"Kill him!" Halumanda's face fell and retreated backward. He quickly activated his Second Order Steel Manipulation again, and the surrounding walls, computers and all sorts of items crumpled unto themselves, becoming a wall of steel in front of him.
At the same time, some of the metal congealed into ball bearings and shot at Yue Zhong. It was as though there was a Gatling cannon firing at Yue Zhong, with countless bullets threatening to take his life.
Such a strike from Halumanda was extremely tyrannical, and not many Evolvers were able to deal with it. Since the attacks came from all sides, even Tian Hao who was Strength and Agility-based would be turned into a sieve if he were caught in it.
A strange white glow enveloped Halumanda, causing all his 6 attributes to receive a raise, and this was the skill as a paladin that he had obtained after reaching Level 30. It was known as Holy Light Protection. Since his 6 attributes received a raise, his combat strength increased by twice.
This was the strength of the Divine Envoys, every single one of them possessed the capability to destroy an elite troop. Because of this, the Kingdom of God had only sent only 100 special forces soldiers as well as Halumanda to take over a whole city of over 90,000 survivors.
The Devil Flame Yue Zhong sent out caused the doors of steel to melt one by one. Any ball bearing shot at him were blocked by the white light shield surrounding him. The noises of the metal bearings ricocheting off resounded constantly.
Yue Zhong eyed the puddle of metal and frowned: "This bastard is really tough! What a pity, my Devil Flame is not yet at Second Order, otherwise, it would be so much easier to melt the wall of steel."
Yue Zhong only had one Second Order skill: Summon Dark Skull. White Bones had an astonishing combat strength, but it was because Yue Zhong himself possessed such an incredible Second Order skill. While his Devil Flame had been enhanced to 4, compared to a Second Order skill, it was still weaker.
"I need to kill them all!" Yue Zhong's killing intent billowed out, and a nether hole appeared out of mid air, as White Bones stepped out and immediately, it slashed out at the wall of steel.
Following the sharp grating sound of metal striking metal, the huge wall was cleaved in two.
After splitting one steel wall, it was like an indomitable devil that continued to slash out, splitting the rest of the walls.
"Strong! Who is this guy, he can actually destroy my walls?!" Halumanda saw how easily White Bones was splitting apart the various steel walls, and his face fell. He then formed a suit of steel again, before charging at White Bones, intending to take it out first.
Each time Halumanda cast the suit of steel or the wall of steel, it would take a huge toll on his Stamina and Spirit. If it wasn't for the Holy Light Protection that raised his attributes, he would have no way of holding out for so long.
The stronger the skill, the greater the expenditure of Stamina and Spirit. Second Order skills were terrifying, but their consumption was likewise straining on the body. If he didn't take out Yue Zhong or White Bones fast enough, Halumanda's Stamina and Spirit would be depleted soon.
With the suit of steel around him, he weighed a total of 2 tons. With such a weight, even an expert with over 10 times the Endurance would not be able to withstand the weight. However, since the suit was formed from his usage of the skill, the weight was negligible on himself.
He continued moving forwards, charging like the wind towards White Bones, launching a fist with the force of Mt. Tai behind it.
Such a forceful punch carried over 2 tons behind it, even an elephant would be pummeled to death. The world's boxing champion would also explode from such a force.
White Bones raised its huge ax, blocking in front of it. At the same time, it shot out countless bone spikes from its body towards Halumanda.
Following some intense noises, the sharp bone spikes actually pierced through the suit of armor, but they were ultimately unable to penetrate all the way through.
Halumanda's punch caused White Bones' ax to immediately disintegrate, as White Bones itself was also sent flying into a wall. Many of its bones were broken and deformed. This fist from Halumanda was even more ferocious than most Strength-type, its might overbearing and without equal.
On the other side, Yue Zhong carried his Stinger, and fired 6 shots at an instant, as 6 of the soldiers from the Kingdom of God were killed, their heads exploding like watermelons.
Yue Zhong shot forward like an arrow, appearing in the midst of the remaining soldiers. His pupils narrowed as he activated his [Art of Fear, and a strong Spirit blast shot outwards, enveloping those soldiers. When assaulted by that intense Art of Fear, they either fainted directly or their bodies crumpled to the floor as they twitched.
The Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade in Yue Zhong's hands flashed, and he sliced the defenseless soldiers into multiple pieces.
Every single one of those elite soldiers was above Level 40 and had similar combat strength to Yue Zhong. However, because they were just ordinary Enhancers who were either Strength-based or Agility-based, and were more susceptible to Spirit-type attacks, they had no means of defending against Yue Zhong's move.
"Fucking monkey! I want to turn you into minced meat!" Halumanda saw all the soldiers that had followed him being killed, and roared out in rage, sending a powerful fist viciously towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps, and he dodged towards the side in a flash, evading that strike that was sure to kill. At the same time, he congealed a Devil Flame Spear in his right hand, and he tossed it towards Halumanda's head.
"Door of Steel!" Halumanda immediately cast the skill with a thought, and a huge door of steel appeared in front of him, at the same time, the multiple steel lumps from behind him was absorbed into the suit around him, replenishing the consumption required of the door.
The Devil Flame Spear struck the door and instantly burnt a hole through as it continued to shoot towards Halumanda.
Halumanda cast the door of steel ability, again and again, forcefully blocking the Devil Flame Spear after it penetrated 7 of the doors.
"Go to hell!" Right as Halumanda thought that he had blocked the Devil Flame Spear, Yue Zhong appeared behind Halumanda like a ghost, waving his hand as he instantly cast a huge fiery tornado to envelop Halumanda in his suit of steel.
"Ah!!! Ah!!!!" Halumanda was trapped within the suit of armor and as he was being burnt, he began to scream out like a pig that was being slaughtered. The suit was able to withstand all sorts of strikes, but the fire was basically cooking him.
After screaming out, Halumanda was burnt black, and the suit that weighed over 2 tons crashed to the floor.
Yue Zhong sliced the suit open with his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade, retrieving the equipment as well as the laser gun design.
Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest of the leaders exchanged looks, as they sent two men to make a grab for the equipment dropped by the other Kingdom of God soldiers.
Only to see the flash of a blade, and the 2 of them had their arms cut.
"Ah!! It hurts!! It hurts!!" The 2 of them watched their dismembered hands and screamed out in horror.
At this time, Tian Hao walked in, his expression icy.
Jin Sheng Cheng saw Tian Hao and he revealed an expression of joy, speaking loudly: "It's you!! Tian Hao!! Good timing!! Catch this man, as long as you capture him, I'll tell you where your sister is!!"

Chapter 518 – Ruined!

Tian Hao's face flashed with a savage look, as he immediately slashed out, slicing Jin Sheng Cheng in two: "Jin Sheng Cheng! You beast, your whole family are beasts!! You toyed my sister to death, and still lied to me! Go to hell, scum!"
The 2 halves of Jin Sheng Cheng's face revealed a look of shock and fear, as blood sprayed out from his body, while his organs came spilling out. This leader who had control over the underground city, and had oppressed countless men and women, was killed just like that by Tian Hao.
"Don't kill us!! It was all done by Jin Sheng Cheng! It has nothing to do with us!"
"Tian Hao, you dared to kill him, are you crazy?"
Seeing Jin Sheng Cheng split in two, the faces of those leaders immediately turned ashen and began to either curse out at Tian Hao or plead for mercy.
Hu Han walked in, eyeing those leaders and laughed out coldly, "Tian Hao, these bunch of bastards are no good. Other than Zhang Cheng and Ma Xiao, the rest are all a bunch of garbage. Scums! Every one of them got together to toy with a single woman, torturing them to death."
As the saying went, whatever the person at the top indulged in, his subordinates would be more indulgent in them. The King of Chu had loved slim waists, thus many women in the palace actually starved to death. Whatever the leader was like, the subordinates would be much worse. Jin Sheng Cheng was a pervert that loved to play and torture women, and thus, his subordinates were mostly like that as well. The tradition of the Chinese was always to serve the leader, and to be responsible for many things that he did. Other than the 2 singled out by Hu Han, the rest were always in on the activities that Jin Sheng Cheng engaged in.
"I'll kill the whole lot of you assholes!" The moment he thought how his sister had been humiliated and raped by these bunch of fogeys, his eyes flashed with a savage glint, and he unleashed a few wild slashes onto the men.
The various leaders of the underground city were killed by Tian Hao, as blood and corpses littered the entire place.
The remaining Zhang Cheng and Ma Xiao retreated to a corner, and they trembled as they watched the enraged Tian Hao going on a rampage.
Yue Zhong eyed Tian Hao, whose eyes had gone bloodshot from his murderous rampage, and he barked coldly, "Enough! Stop! You've had your revenge, from now on, your life is mine!"
"Yes!" The moment he was barked at, Tian Hao regained his rationale and stood quietly behind Yue Zhong. His eyes regained a sort of dead look. He had not much to look forward to anymore. There was nothing left worth living for, and he was now fulfilling his promise.
"Go get the security feed up for me!" Yue Zhong eyed Hu Han and ordered.
"Yes! Boss Yue!" Hu Han replied respectfully, and turned to give an order to his men, "Go get the feed for Boss Yue."
A few men immediately brought in the security monitors.
Only to see that outside of Yang County, the Thousand Hero Alliance had already vanquished the forces of the Snow Palace, and the Greater China Alliance. The female warriors of the Snow Palace, as well as the soldiers from the Greater China Alliance, were all running, and the death toll was still climbing.
In the skies, 7 of the 12 Eurocopters had been destroyed, leaving 5. Those 5 Eurocopters had terrifying might, but some of the higher level Enhancers had means to destroy them.
Yue Zhong could also transform his Devil Flame into a Devil Flame Spear to immediately destroy such a helicopter. Of course, it would require Stamina and Spirit. Without appropriate weapons, it was tough to deal with such airborne advanced weaponry.
Yue Zhong immediately ordered, "Get me means to contact Gui Ning City."
There were various radio communications within this underground city.
"Yes!" Hu Han immediately set off to relay the order.
The communication channel was quickly established, and Yue Zhong immediately gave on order, "This is Yue Zhong! My current position is in Yang County. My commands are to deploy the 1st Armored Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the 3rd Battalion to move out now! Provide assistance over at Yang County. Hu Yi is to take command of the operation!'
"Yes! Leader!" From the other side, Wei Ning Guo's voice sounded.
Wei Ning Guo was extremely loyal to Yue Zhong, and while his strength was average, he had the experience and was loyal. Hence when Yue Zhong left, he had placed Wei Ning Guo in charge.
Yue Zhong then turned to Tian Hao and Hu Han, ordering, "Tian Hao! Work together with Hu Han to control this underground city. Hu Han, go transport the 12 helicopters outside back in. Capture the pilots as well."
Hu Han had just defected to him, and Yue Zhong couldn't afford to place his trust in him yet. He needed to assign Wei Ning Guo beside this Hu Han before he could rest his mind.
"Yes!" Hu Han and Tian Hao replied with respect.
Hu Han saw how easily Yue Zhong had ordered the deployment of a huge army, and the little strange hopes he had were dashed. He dared not entertain any nonsensical thoughts.
Yue Zhong was terrifyingly strong, and once his army was here, if Hu Han dared to mobilize his troops to rebel, they would only face death. From the various scenes that he witnessed today, he knew Yue Zhong was not some merciful leader. If he really dared to rebel, he would suffer terribly.
"Tian Hao, go send someone to get Xue Ning and the rest, and bring them over here."
Since the Thousand Hero Alliance had done in the Greater China Alliance and the Snow Palace, they would definitely storm through Yang County, and it meant that the buildings at the surface weren't safe anymore.
Tian Hao, "Yes!"
After making his preparations, Yue Zhong retrieved his Swift Shadow Bike, before he hopped on it and charged out. Since the situation was grim, he wanted to quickly take care of the Eurocopters in the sky.
The Eurocopters possessed a terrifying presence on the battlefield, exceeding even those experts above Level 60.
Yue Zhong had to destroy them, otherwise, his elite troops would suffer a huge loss.
Yue Zhong charged out the long tunnels of the underground city, only to discover that the whole Yang County was in chaos. A large number of rioters were engaging in arson, killing and raping. It was like a scene straight out of hell.
Regardless of the place or time, as long as there was unrest, there would be such happenings. It was because of this that governments before the apocalypse would emphasize on stability and security.
Yue Zhong had seen such chaos each time an establishment was facing a critical situation. At this time, Yue Zhong didn't have his troops and it was hard to deal with such a situation on his own.
"Get to the underground city beneath the Green Garden!! Rioters will be put to death!!" Yue Zhong readied his .05 machine guns and killed some of the outlaws as he ran about shouting.
Hearing his voice, the survivors who were running around cluelessly began to make their way towards the Green Garden, forming a steady stream of humans.
There were 20,000 survivors in Yang County and 90,000 survivors in the underground city. In truth, as the underground city was vast, it could accommodate at least 200,000 people. However, in order to ensure the resources and living conditions, and with the requirement of Yang County still running to provide the support for the underground city, not every survivor had the qualifications to live in the underground city.
Yue Zhong had just reached the entrance of Yang County when he saw countless soldiers running towards him, their guns long abandoned.
Over a thousand scattered soldiers squeezed through the entrance, trampling over one another. In order to have a shot at survival, many even chose to open fire on their own comrades.
"Fuck off! Fuck off!! Don't block your father's way, otherwise, I'll execute you!" A commander was leading 20 other soldiers to run towards Yue Zhong, and he bellowed loudly, raising his gun at the same time.
Yue Zhong immediately shot forward, slapping his gun away, and using his own Stinger to point at the commander's head. He spoke coldly, "I'm Yue Zhong, you are my captive now, report your name, soldier. Otherwise, I'll execute you directly."
The commander broke out in cold sweat and replied, "I'm called Ou Chang Jiang, the captain of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Company of the Greater China Alliance forces. I'm willing to surrender!!"
Ou Chang Jing wasn't some stubborn mule and chose to surrender to preserve his life. He was a man who had experienced much, and he could tell Yue Zhong's strength wasn't something that he could handle.
Yue Zhong ordered solemnly, "Take your men and go collect all the scattered troops! Execute those who resist!"
"Yes!!" Under Yue Zhong's orders, Ou Chang Jiang decided to toughen his skin and headed off in the directions of the soldiers.
At this moment, the soldiers were like a bunch of dragons without a leader. The moment Ou Chang Jiang came over to command them, they began to settle down.
"The helicopters are here!!" A sudden shout of fear resounded, and the people gathered at the entrance were plunged into chaos. For the sake of survival, many of the soldiers began to use all sorts of means to attack their former comrades.
"Go to hell you monkeys!!" An assault helicopter piloted by a Kingdom of God soldier eyed the soldiers at the entrance of the city, and a savage glint flashed in his eyes as he began to pull the trigger.
A line of fire sprayed out from the machine guns by the sides of the Eurocopter, killing many of the soldiers gathered at the entrance. They fell like dumplings into the moat.
"Hahahaha!!" The pilot watched the scattered soldiers being killed and laughed sadistically.
War could turn a person like that.
At this time, Yue Zhong leaped up the wall and formed a Devil Flame Spear before throwing with all his strength. It turned into a flash of light and pierced through the Eurocopter before exploding. The Eurocopter combusted in a ball of flames, killing the 2 pilots within.
The Eurocopter started to descend in a ball of flame, before crashing explosively on the ground.

Chapter 519 – Chaotic Battle!

"Strong!!" Seeing how easily Yue Zhong had destroyed the assault helicopter in the air, every single soldier from the Greater China Alliance on the site had this thought on their mind. Many of the scattered soldiers began to swarm towards his location. After all, during times of uncertainty, only by gathering around someone strong, would they have a sense of security.
All of a sudden, a huge ice pick shot from some location below, piercing another helicopter. The extreme freezing temperature caused the pilots to be frozen rock solid.
Without anyone to control, the helicopter began to descend and crash into the ground, turning into scrap metal.
A sniper bullet packed with the Enhanced Bullet skill suddenly pierced the hull of one more helicopter, and the resulting explosion immediately consumed the pilots, as the flaming ball also plunged quickly towards the ground.
In a matter of minutes, 3 helicopters were struck down. It was unclear as to the orders that the remaining helicopters received, but they quickly turned and fled the battlefield.
These 12 Eurocopters had devastated the Snow Palace and the Greater China Alliance, at the same time, they killed many Enhancers and experts. However, their own expenditure was high. The moment they received the orders to withdraw, the remaining 2 Eurocopters turned and left without delay.
Yue Zhong eyed the leaving helicopters and heaved a sigh of relief. He had expended a huge amount of Stamina and Spirit in the underground city, if he were to continue using his skills without restraint, he would likely fall on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a deadly sense of crisis welled up in his mind. He activated his Shadow Steps and leaped a huge distance away.
Hong! Hong!
Following 2 earthshaking sounds of explosions caused by rockets, the area Yue Zhong was in was blasted, dust covering the area.
"No!! Would he fall just like that?!"
"He can't just die like that right?"
Ou Chang Jiang and the rest of the soldiers that had submitted to Yue Zhong looked towards the direction in nervousness, their gazes filled with despair and complicated looks. No one would be able to survive such a blast, even for high-level experts.
As the dust cleared, there was a dim white light that was slightly visible. Yue Zhong retracted it and jumped out from the blast zone.
"Leader is invincible!!"
"Long live Boss Yue!!"
Seeing him jump out from the debris unharmed, all the soldiers roared out in triumph. To them, someone who could escape unscathed from such an explosion was basically invincible. Such a person was their leader, and it boosted their morale a lot.
"That was close!! If I didn't have the White Light Shield, I would have been heavily injured!" He leaped out and felt a sense of terror at the close shave he had. Without the protection, he would definitely not have escaped unscathed. Even though he had leaped to the side when he first felt the danger, the area of impact had been huge. Even he had been unable to get out of the impact zone in time with his speed.
With his single strike that destroyed the fearsome assault helicopter, as well as having escaped from the terrifying blast, Yue Zhong became like an invincible existence in the hearts of the soldiers. Many were attracted and moved by his charisma, and he began to collect the scattered soldiers easily.
However, the scattered soldiers were after all beaten before. Of the 300 soldiers, they had about a 100 rifles and 2,000 rounds of ammunition. At the same time, their morale was low.
"Ou Chang Jiang. Take your men and continue to gather the soldiers! I'll go destroy the Thousand Hero Alliance's artillery." Yue Zhong barked out an order.
The heavy artillery of the Thousand Hero Alliance was too much of a threat to Yang County. With the bombardment, it would be like shattering the earth, and everything in the area of impact would be destroyed.
The soldiers of the Greater China Alliance were not elite soldiers comparable to those soldiers of the past during the founding eras. They were just a bunch of people that had guns. If he allowed the Thousand Hero Alliance to continue their onslaught, the low morale of the soldiers would most likely collapse.
Ou Chang Jiang looked at Yue Zhong and answered with a hot-blooded shout: "Yes Sir! Leader! I swear to defend this place, and I promise you as long as I'm alive, the city will stand!"
Ou Chang Jiang's desire to become strong was reignited when he saw Yue Zhong's performance. He used to be ambitious and had been an officer before the apocalypse. However, his superior had been frightened off by the Eurocopters and fled. He could only bring his men and brothers to escape as well. Following Yue Zhong, he seemed to have regained his courage and hot-bloodedness.
China had never lacked strong-willed and ambitious soldiers, but what was lacking was the presence of a strong and capable leader. At the start of each era or dynasty, when the leaders were not greedy, nor did they fear death, the soldiers were the toughest and elite of their generation. Even during times of war where they were lacking in weapons or advanced equipment, the soldiers of China relied on their willpower and spirit to overcome all sorts of obstacles, carving a position for themselves.
Ou Chang Jiang proceeded to gather the soldiers, directing them to various strategic locations, reclaiming their defenses and transport channels.
Yue Zhong leaped off the city wall, charging towards the artillery of the Thousand Hero Alliance with White Bones.
By now, most of the Greater China Alliance troops were scattered, and a battalion of the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers were charging at them, capturing them or executing them.
"Ah! There're still people like that!" What Yue Zhong was looking at was a company of soldiers fighting it out with the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers, impeding their advance.
The company was down to half their original numbers, but they were extremely valiant, not fearing death. Even the Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers seemed to be suffering more than them.
It was precisely because of this group of elites, that the soldiers of the Greater China Alliance dared go out to fight. However, most of the remaining soldiers were too weak, and the assault helicopters had been too fearsome, causing their collapse.
"This is an elite squad! They could be compared to those under me as well. If I can convince them, I would gain a powerful team." Yue Zhong eyed them with interest and decided to make his way over.
Although this company had been battered, their backbones and willpower were still strong, as long as new recruits were injected into their team, and after some time of training, coupled with a few more battles, Yue Zhong would then obtain another elite company of soldiers, or maybe even an entire battalion.
One of the burly soldiers who had one of his ears blown off saw Yue Zhong and hollered in alarm: "Fuck! Another one! Brothers, time to kill those bastards that collude with the foreigners!!"
A dense barrage of bullets rained towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong evaded the bullets and called out: "Stop shooting! I'm your ally, Yue Zhong. I'm on my way to destroy the artillery of the Thousand Hero Alliance. You guys can go and confirm with Ou Chang Jiang. I hope that we can continue to fight side by side after today."
After that, Yue Zhong turned towards the direction of the Thousand Hero Alliance and charged over. The elite troops were too wary, and he had no way of convincing them in a short time. He would rather deal with the Thousand Hero Alliance first before continuing their discussion.
One of the commanders looked at Yue Zhong's back and frowned, an uneasy feeling in his heart: "Yue Zhong? The leader of Gui Ning City, Yue Zhong? What is he doing here?"
When Yue Zhong was on his way, a number of Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers made their way to attack him.
Shooting forwards like an arrow, Yue Zhong suddenly appeared among the soldiers and slashed out coolly with his sword, and the soldiers were all dismembered.
Yue Zhong and White Bones charged into the territory of the Thousand Hero Alliance, slaughtering like death gods. Everywhere they went, there would be blood and carnage, and no one could withstand an attack from them.
Within 10 minutes, over a 100 Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers had died at their hands, and the remaining soldiers decided to run for their lives.
When the other soldiers saw them from afar, their hearts were filled with dread and didn't dare launch an assault for fear of Yue Zhong retaliating and killing them.
Yue Zhong and White Bones quickly slaughtered their way through the forces of the Thousand Hero Alliance and made their way to the artillery.
When Yue Zhong came to the grounds, he noticed that the entire area was deathly quiet, and the temperature had plunged. He noticed an incredibly beautiful and attractive woman with a sexy figure standing by herself. This was, of course, Shangguan Bing Xue.
"Who's that? What a beautiful woman!" When Yue Zhong saw her, his eyes lit up. Just based on her demeanor and figure, she was definitely the most beautiful woman he had come across.
Chen Yao, Ji Qing Wu, Guo Yu, Zhuo Ya Tong, Xin Jia Rou, Ning Yu Xin and the rest had their own charms and exquisite looks that could topple countries, but even then, they could not be compared with this icy beauty in front of him. Of course, it was just a slight disparity in comparison, they were still beautiful. However, this lady in front of him was truly exceptional.
Amidst the area, all the artillery soldiers had been frozen rock solid, and the 2 self-propelled rocket launchers had become 2 huge ice lumps. Only Shangguan Bing Xue stood by herself among the icy area and ice sculptures like a fairy.
She had also seen Yue Zhong and White Bones coming over, and her eyes flashed with an icy killing intent, as her gaze landed on Yue Zhong.

Chapter 520 – The Situation Is Reversed!
Translated by: Kun
Unedited
Both parties exchanged glances before Shangguan Bing Xue turned to leave for the distance. Her condition wasn't good, having been through an intense bout of battles, and she had no confidence in dealing with Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong saw that Shangguan Bing Xue was retreating, and he did not chase after her, instead, turning to face the incoming troop of soldiers from the Thousand Hero Alliance.
"Kill him!!" One captain saw Yue Zhong and shouted loudly.
Countless bullets flew towards Yue Zhong and White Bones.
Yue Zhong exploded out with all his speed, turning into a flash. Ordinary people could not catch up with his movements. On the other side, White Bones was almost impervious to all sorts of attacks from the guns and bullets. Both of them charged into the midst of the elites of the Thousand Hero Alliance, and their blades flashed, as well as bone spikes piercing, causing large amount of blood to be splattered everywhere. Most of the soldiers were taken down almost instantly.
"Monster!! Monster!! Don't kill me! I don't want to die!!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Within 10 minutes, the half of the squad of elites were already killed, causing the rest to break down, and they tried to run with their lives.
Facing Yue Zhong and White Bones who were seemingly unkillable existences, even elite soldiers would crumble.
By this time, the bulk of the forces of the Thousand Hero Alliance were trying to chase down the Greater China Alliance and Snow Palace soldiers, hence, they could only afford to send one company after another towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong had embarked on a killing spree and his eyes were red, giving him a look of a bloodthirsty devil. Each time he swung his blade, a number of soldiers would fall. The carnage unleashed by him and White Bones was devastating. As each company came up only to be sent to heaven, the entire battlefield was soon littered with the corpses of the soldiers of the Thousand Hero Alliance.
"Strong!! How come there's such a crazy person?" One of the elite captains of the Greater China Alliance, the one with only one ear left, Yun Zi Ge, looked at the scene and exclaimed in shock.
Yun Zi Ge saw how easily Yue Zhong was destroying the forces of the Thousand Hero Alliances and he hollered: "Charge!! Charge!! Follow me and charge!!"
The elite squad from the Greater China Alliance led by Yun Zi Ge immediately launched into an assault towards the Thousand Hero Alliance, causing some of the troops to immediately throw down their weapons and run.
The Thousand Hero Alliance was after all a small time force, and were just made up of civilians previously. There were indeed soldiers who could fight among the troops, but most of them were made up of an inexperienced bunch.
By now, the Thousand Hero Alliance found its external forces being exterminated one after the other, and those who could run had run off. Their morale was reaching an all-time low, and many of the backup troops were being slaughtered by Yue Zhong and White Bones, causing the outlook to be bleak.
Yun Zi Ge took the opportunity to begin battering on the soldiers.
As for the female warriors of the Snow Palace, there were only a few hundred left that had gathered together after a large number of their comrades had been killed and captured. They saw the chance as well and begin to unleash their retaliation fiercely.
There was also a mysterious sniper that was picking off the experts of the Thousand Hero Alliance from somewhere without stopping, blasting their heads.
With the counter-attack on so many fronts, the Thousand Hero Alliance was truly beginning to suffer, and most of the soldiers either ran or surrendered. Some chose to fight to the death, but couldn't do much before they died. The huge faction was beginning to crumble.
"How did it become like this? How?!" Within a command center, Zhu Xiong Ba watched his troops collapsing, and his face turned pale, as he gritted his teeth and bellowed in anger.
He roared out: "Shit! Where's the reinforcement from the Kingdom of God? Where are the troops they promised?! Why aren't they here?! A bunch of bastards that can't be trusted!!"
Zhu Xiong Ba did not know that the troops he was awaiting had already been destroyed by Yue Zhong, and the underground city had long since fallen into Yue Zhong's hands.
"Boss! What do we do now?" One of his trusted aides came over to ask Zhu Xiong Ba carefully.
Zhu Xiong Ba looked at his crumbling troops and he knew that the situation had already spiraled out of control. He made his decision: "Retreat!! Now that it's unfavorable, we have to retreat now!! Convey my orders. Everyone is to retreat!!"
Soon, Zhu Xiong Ba led 200 experts as they left the place, making their way towards their old location. As long as his core troops and experts were with him, he could establish another faction again.
It was incredibly tough to obtain an entire regiment of 10,000 experts. However, it was relatively easy to pull together a 10,000-strong force. It was a common tactic used by many to expand their might, however, such a method would usually result in a motley crew, and they could at most be used to intimidate The moment they lost, they would collapse.
After Zhu Xiong Ba gave the order, most of the soldiers of the Thousand Hero Alliance began to throw down their weapons and surrendered. A large number were unwilling to surrender to the Snow Palace, as no men wanted to become slaves to the Snow Palace. This was the disadvantage of having a widely-known discriminatory policy.
Ou Chang Jiang brought his men to assist Yue Zhong in capturing the surrendering troops, and pretty soon, there were 3 large factions outside of Yang County.
Yun Zi Ge and his forces managed to gather over 300 soldiers, and capturing 1,000 soldiers of the Thousand Hero Alliance. Yue Zhong gathered 700-over men, while his captives numbered the highest at 5,000-plus. Amongst his captives, there were Thousand Hero Alliance soldiers as well as Snow Palace male survivors. Some were even the female warriors of the Snow Palace. Shangguan Bing Xue had rescued over 500 female Snow Palace soldiers, and captured 200 male survivors.
Yue Zhong looked over at Yun Zi Ge and beckoned over: "Yun Zi Ge, become my subordinate, and work for me!"
Yun Zi Ge was a hardy general that could fight, and he had a troop of elites under him. If they were absorbed into Yue Zhong's forces, Yue Zhong could gain another capable general.
Yun Zi Ge hesitated before asking: "Yue Zhong! If I follow you, what will become of my brothers?"
Yue Zhong chuckled and promised: "As long as you choose to follow me, your brothers are still considered your troops. You can immediately be drafted as a battalion of your own, and you'll be the commander."
Yun Zi Ge's eyes flashed with a look of joy and he saluted: "Many thanks, Leader! I'm willing to serve!"
Gui Ning City's Tyrant Yue Zhong, this name was widely known amongst the people of the Greater China Alliance. Some spoke well of him, others viewed him negatively, but almost everyone could agree that Yue Zhong was truly extremely capable and a charismatic leader.
Gui Ning City had already established some form of order, and the people within had resumed their lives similar to prior to the apocalypse. Compared to before the apocalypse, their quality of life might not be as good, but compared to Yang County, life in Gui Ning City was almost heaven.
Over at Yang County, the survivors were like dogs, and the ones on top lived at the expense of the ones below. For just one bread, women were willing to sell their bodies. For the sake of a packet of noodles, even friends could attack one another.
In the underground city, there were over a few ten thousands of tonnes of food, however, Jin Sheng Cheng and the rest hoarded them like they were their own possessions, and were not willing to share them with the other survivors. That was why there was a famine.
In this apocalypse, other than facing zombies, Mutant Beasts and the harsh weather conditions, a terrifying enemy was the shortage of food. As no food could be grown in the current conditions, it resulted in an anxiety in almost all the leaders of their own factions.
Yue Zhong could relax only because he obtained the treasure of the grain tree. If he didn't have it, he would also be constantly worried about the food problem.
Shangguan Bing Xue looked at Yue Zhong and spoke coldly: "Hand over my Snow Palace people, I'll leave immediately."
Yue Zhong replied directly: "Not an issue, but I want all the men from your Snow Palace."
There was no use for the female soldiers because they wouldn't serve him wholeheartedly.
"Fine!" Shangguan Bing Xue replied coldly, in her eyes, a single woman was more important than 10 men.
"Release them!"
After they exchanged their captives, under the command of Shangguan Bing Xue, the Snow Palace forces quickly left. They had no more left in them to continue the assault on Yang County, and there would only be deaths if they insisted on continuing.
Yue Zhong quickly returned to Yang County to establish some form of order.
With the gathered troops, Yue Zhong managed to bring the chaos and confusion under control, at the same time, under his orders, Yang County regained its stability. This was his first step and assuming control over this place with 110,000 survivors.
"Leader! The 1st Armored Battalion reports!" 2 hours later, Hu Yi came up, his fierce aura mixed with some military bearing radiated out as he stepped forward to salute Yue Zhong.
After 2 months of tough training, this brother of Yue Zhong, Hu Yi, had finally undergone some change, the hoodlum in him being washed away. He was now an incredibly valiant and capable commander.
A number of tanks, IFVs and self-propelling rocket launchers, cannons and trucks rolled into Yang County. The fleet of advanced weaponry caused the survivors to stare in shock, their mouths agape.
When Ou Chang Jiang saw the fleet rolling into Yang County, his expression was one of shock: "What strength!! Such advanced equipment. Just this one battalion is enough to wipe out the Greater China Alliance! Fortunately, I submitted early!"
Hu Yi's armored battalion had truly transformed. Counting just the tanks, there were 24 of them. Such an armored battalion was truly terrifying, almost invincible. If the forces of the Greater China Alliance were to clash with Yue Zhong, just this armored battalion alone was enough to cause them to crumble almost instantly.

Chapter 521 – Fleeing From Might!

Yun Zi Ge looked at the armored battalion and their equipment, his eyes filled with envy and passion: "Their equipment is really top-notch! If only my troops have the same equipment!"
Decent equipment could alleviate the strength of an entire troop. It was just like how a group of soldiers wielding knives and bats would never be able to best a troop with planes and cannons.
Xue Ning looked at the valiant armored battalion and could not help but sigh with praise: "So powerful! Is this your army? Boss Yue, you truly are awesome!"
The 1st Battalion of soldiers were Yue Zhong's blade and trump card, many of them being Enhancers above Level 20. Any one such warrior could easily become the trump card of a small time faction in any of the surrounding areas, and any one of them could easily raze a faction to the ground.
Yue Zhong chuckled and eyed Hu Yi with a look of satisfaction: "Does your 1st Battalion have the energy to fight?"
Hu Yi immediately replied loudly: "Yes! The 1st Battalion will definitely carry out Leader's orders, to wipe out the enemy!"
"Good!" Yue Zhong revealed a slight smile, before calling for Liu Xiao Cha and asked: "What's the weather like for today and tomorrow?"
The weather was a critical factor in any operations now, if there was an unexpected snowstorm, the entire troop could be eradicated. Yue Zhong had just suffered one such blow recently, and since he had the means of predicting the weather, he wanted to be sure.
Liu Xiao Cha squinted her eyes towards the skies and activated her skill, before replying swiftly: "The skies will be clear for the next 24 hours."
Yue Zhong then turned to Hu Yi and ordered: "Good! Convey my orders! The 1st Battalion is to launch an assault on the base of the Thousand Hero Alliance at Lao Chao Ji County!"
By now, the Thousand Hero Alliance had just been defeated and were at their weakest. Hu Yi's armored battalion had also made its appearance and was absolutely capable of taking them down.
"Yes! We will fulfill your commands!" Hu Yi saluted Yue Zhong before turning around and heading off with excitement and burning emotions. He wanted to establish the might of the armored forces, and to show that he was not just Yue Zhong's close brother, but was also a capable leader and commander! Only by earning enough merit, then people will stop talking behind his back.
Furthermore, it was the crumbling of the previous society norms and laws, and where new factions were coming to power. If he continued to amass military credit, Hu Yi would be able to help bring Yue Zhong's faction up another notch.
Zhu Xiong Ba led his men all the way back to Lao Chao Ji County, before they heaved a sigh of relief.
When they returned to the county, Zhu Xiong Ba immediately returned to his villa, and grabbed a woman, as he began to pound her violently, venting his frustrations and dissatisfaction from his failure.
"Boss!! Not good!! Yue Zhong had sent his troops over!!" Just as Zhu Xiong Ba was in the middle of violating the woman, one of his trusted aides rushed into his house and shouted out in dismay.
Zhu Xiong Ba threw the woman one side, and he stood up, his face in disbelief: "What? Yue Zhong is on his way here? How is this possible? Even he would have to take a few days to gather his forces. How is he so fast?"
The face of the trusted aide was extremely pale, as he stammered: "It's true!! Many tanks!! So many cannons!!"
"Useless trash!!" Zhu Xiong Ba roared out angrily and donned on some clothes before he charged out.
Zhu Xiong Ba quickly came to a high ground, where the various officials were gathered. Many of them were currently gazing out into the distance, their faces pale white with fright.
"Give it to me!" Zhu Xiong Ba felt a bad feeling and grabbed the binoculars from his subordinate, raising it to look at the distance.
He discovered many tanks rolling towards their location in a formation, and this armored division was something the Thousand Hero Alliance would not be able to fight even at its best conditions, not to mention when they had just suffered a terrible loss earlier. Their morale was low, and they even lost many soldiers.
Zhu Xiong Ba eyed the fleet of metal beats and gritted his teeth, spitting out with an ashen expression: "Fucking bastard! It's Yue Zhong! It's that tyrant!!"
Within this region, it was only possible for Yue Zhong to possess such might. Only he could deploy such an arsenal at short notice.
The rest of the smaller factions around would count themselves lucky if they even had an IFV. Even if they had tanks, many of them lacked the manpower to operate them.
One of the officials asked with a terrified expression: "What do we do, Boss?"
Zhu Xiong Ba's expression was unsightly: "What else can we do? Hurry and escape! Bring the men and leave immediately! We have to forgo this place!! Let's go get another location."
Abandoning this location which he painstakingly built up himself, was a huge blow to Zhu Xiong Ba. However, he had no choice. His men were not a match for Hu Yi's elite armored battalion, and the difference in strength between both sides was as clear as heaven and earth.
One of the higher officials hesitated before suggesting: "Boss! Why don't we surrender to Yue Zhong? Based on our strength, he would definitely not mistreat us!"
Many of them were stirred when they heard that If they had to leave Old Chao Ji County, they would have to lead uncertain lives again. Every day would be a struggle to search for food, and they would also have to face zombies and Mutant Beasts as well. They wanted secure and comfortable lives.
"You want to betray me? You can go to hell!!" Zhu Xiong Ba's eyes flashed with a vicious light and he slashed out with his blade, chopping the miserable official in two. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, including on Zhu Xiong Ba, giving him a devil-like appearance.
Zhu Xiong Ba stared coldly at the rest of his subordinates: "Yue Zhong is not Buddha. He's well known to be a tyrant. For the sake of controlling this county, he would definitely wipe you guys out. Furthermore, none of you are innocent! All of you have the blood of countless lives on your hands. Even if you submit to him, he will banish you guys to the Scum Battalion! Come with me!! Leave this place, and we have the chance to start over somewhere else! In the future, we'll fight back and reclaim what belongs to us!"
"Yes! Boss! We'll come with you!"
"I'll come with you!"
Under Zhu Xiong Ba's threats, the rest of the officials cried out, although somewhat unwillingly.
"Let's go!" Zhu Xiong Ba did not waste his breath and immediately brought his men out of the county.
"What? Zhu Xiong Ba fled? Damn bastard, what a coward!" Hu Yi wanted to engage in a hearty battle, and when he received this news, he felt a little depressed and disappointed.
One of the intelligence officers asked: "Commander, do we chase after them?"
Hu Yi shook his head: "No! A dog will jump over a wall when cornered. Their strength is not considered weak. They have a few high-level Evolvers, if we sent too little troops, they might retaliate. If we send more, they can't chase up as well. Our current mission is to secure and control Ji County."
Hu Yi wanted very much to chase after the remnants of Zhu Xiong Ba's forces, but he knew clearly how hard it was to deal with high-level Evolvers. In comparison, Yue Zhong's orders of controlling the town were more important.
Once they lost this Ji County, Zhu Xiong Ba and the rest would find it hard to rise again.
When Hu Yi's armored battalion entered Ji County, they immediately suppressed the outlaws who had made use of the opportunity to engage in troublemaking. They also brought the situation under control.
They were followed by the 2nd and 3rd Battalion that were dispatched from Yang County as well, and like this, Yang County, and Ji County both came under Yue Zhong's control.
After gaining these two counties, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief and came to a jail cell.
"Leader!" One of the interrogators called Li Cong immediately saluted when he saw Yue Zhong.
"Have they said anything?" Yue Zhong asked Li Cong.
Li Cong handed a document to Yue Zhong: "They've revealed plenty! These are the details they've spat out."
Yue Zhong opened the document and took a careful look.
The elite troops of the Kingdom of God were split into many layers. The soldiers in black uniforms were the lowest ranks. As for the ones in silver, they were called Adjudicators, every one of them was Enhancers of at least Level 20 and above. The next ranking was a force of Judges, and these were Enhancers of Level 30 and above. Beyond that, they had the Envoys-in-waiting. These Envoys-in-waiting, or Secondary Envoys, must be Evolvers. At the same time, they had to be at least Level 40. If either of these 2 conditions was not met, then there was no way to rise to that rank. Above the Secondary Envoys were the Divine Envoys. And the highest ranks were the 12 Apostles secondary only to God.
The 12 futuristics helicopters were called Thunder Fighters and were the latest helicopters manufactured by the Kingdom of God. They used technology only available after the onset of the apocalypse. Their endurance, combat strength, weight, and defenses were all three times that of a Eurocopter. After initial tests, they found out that even 14.5mm bullets could not penetrate the hull of these helicopters, and only 20mm cannons could possibly cause a dent in the armor. There was no way they could explode, though.
With these Thunder Fighters as their edge, they were swiftly replacing their Eurocopters. However, the current mode of transport and aerial combat was still the Eurocopter. This was because they were available from even before the apocalypse. As for the new Thunder Fighters, there was a huge requirement of manpower and resources.
The Thunder Fighters were only used by those Divine Envoys or Apostles. They were specialized for all sorts of combat, and could easily annihilate a small faction just to obtain their technology or blueprints.
When Yue Zhong read up to here, his heart became heavy. The apocalypse had only begun for a year, yet the Kingdom of God had already reached the point of developing their own advanced technology, causing a huge gap between others and themselves. If they continued to develop like this, their technologies would far surpass any other powers, and they could easily dominate the entire globe.
TN:
Kingdom of God forces
Level 20 – Adjudicators
Level 30 – Judges
Level 40 Evolvers – Secondary Envoys
Level ??? – Divine Envoys (36 of them, now 35 cause too bad Yue Zhong killed one)
Level ??? – Apostles (12 of them)

"The capitals!! If only I can get them under my control." Yue Zhong sighed in his heart with some bitterness.
There were 2 blueprints in Yue Zhong's hands, one was the Nucleus Energy Converter Diagram, the other the Laser Gun Design. If he could start manufacturing the items from these 2 blueprints, the might of his factions would grow by leaps and bounds.
However, the technology over at Guang Xi region was seriously lacking. It could not match with the capitals, and even if he wanted to get started on the manufacturing of the items, he could not.
Based on the current rate of advance of technology, it would take at least another 15 years for there to be the slightest hope of developing the laser guns.
However, after destroying the Greater China Alliance and Thousand Hero Alliance, Yue Zhong had gained some decent rewards. Outside of the 170,000 survivors, he had gained a powerful underground city with its own defense systems both under and above ground.
The underground city was spacious, with various tunnels, and it could easily accommodate 300,000 survivors. There were even small factories inside and given enough manpower and materials, they could produce 80,000 rounds of ammunition each month. Inside these factories, there was 8 months' worth of materials. That was to say that they could produce about 800,000 rounds of ammunition.*
"Leader! There are signs of strange movements from the zombie hordes over at Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou region. The majority had been blown and scattered by the snowstorm. Please relay your instructions on our next move." Right as Yue Zhong was preparing to consolidate and reallocate the forces of the Greater China Alliance and Thousand Hero Alliance, Wei Ning Guo suddenly came up to Yue Zhong and reported excitedly.
"What! Bring me the pictures." Yue Zhong's eyes brightened up.
"Yes!"
Soon a number of pictures were transmitted over at the underground city. The photographs showed Bin Qi City And Yan Zhou, both that were crowded with zombies previously, were now largely free by more than half.
When Yue Zhong took over Gui Ning City, he had a few unmanned drones that could be used, and they were precisely sent to investigate the situations over at Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou City.
Yue Zhong swiftly passed his next order: "Good! Good!! Relay my next orders! Deploy Lang Son City 2nd and 3rd Battalion. Gui Ning City's 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and the Scum Battalion to gather at Yang County."
Initially, the number of zombies over at the 2 cities had numbered over 5 million, and a horde of this size deterred Yue Zhong from making a frontal assault, as it would spell casualties of unknown proportions.
However, the sudden snowstorm that blew over had caused a large number of them to be scattered, and this was a huge opportunity for Yue Zhong. He could easily take control of 2 cities at one go.
If it hadn't been for that snowstorm, then Yue Zhong would have to take slow and painstaking steps to nibble at the hordes.
"Yes!" Wei Ning Guo replied excitedly.
Under Yue Zhong's orders, his troops began to move, in the direction of Yang County.
Countless firearms, ammunitions, rations were all being transported towards Yang County. Other than the large trucks, there were survivors also pushing their handmade carts, helping to transport rations and uniforms as well as other equipment and logistics.
Among Yue Zhong's establishments, he had plenty of vehicles, but fuel was too precious In comparison, manpower was cheaper and much more abundant. Hence, the support and logistics divisions were made up of survivors.
If he had the resources, Yue Zhong would make use of vehicles and trucks to transport them over. However, it was a matter of being prudent now.
This upcoming battle was vital to the future of the entire Guang Xi region. If Yue Zhong could not take down Yan Zhou City, then the lack of ammunition would spell the demise of Gui Ning City should there be a large scale horde attack. The moment Gui Ning City falls, it would be incredibly difficult for Yue Zhong to take on the Kingdom of God. Therefore, this was a battle he could not afford to lose.
When the 6th Battalion of Gui Ning City arrived, Yue Zhong handed the defenses to them, while he brought the 2nd and 3rd Battalion, as well as the 1st Battalion of Yang County that he had just reorganized 2 days prior towards the direction of Ji County.
He had to make use of this window when the numbers of zombies were still manageable at Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou City to quickly control them. The zombies might be blown away, but not necessarily dead. As long as they were still 'alive', they could gather again.
The moment he gained control over these 2 cities, his strength would not only go through an earth-shattering change, but his factions would also increase in might. After today, with enough resources, he would be able to churn out ammunition as well, and it would be one less problem on his mind.
Furthermore, once he gained the factories in Yan Zhou City, his establishments would truly be considered to have some decent military support. The small factories in the Yang County's underground city or Lang Son City could not compare with the large scale industries over at Yan Zhou City. With a decent military power enterprise, he could produce better weapons. Otherwise, the designs he had were just scrap paper.
Yue Zhong quickly brought his troops and made for Bin Qi City like a sharp sword, with Hu Yi leading the 1st Armored Battalion.
When they arrived there, the 1st 500,000 zombies they saw were mostly made up of L1s, S1s, L2s and S2s. These evolved zombies made their way towards the armored battalion.
The majority of those zombies blown away were mostly the low-level ordinary zombies, and some other evolved ones, however, the bulk that remained were the evolved types.
"Fire the cannons!! Fire the cannons!" Facing the 500,000-strong horde, Hu Yi called out his commands in excitement.
A number of the tanks unleashed their powerful projectiles, blasting patches of evolved zombies into pieces.
As for the machine gun-mounted vehicles surrounding the tanks, they began firing rapidly as well.
A terrifying hail of bullet covered a large number of zombies, causing them to fall on the ground.
Yue Zhong personally led the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion to guard the armored battalion. The command of the operation had been handed to Zhang Xue Wang, Zheng Ming He and other intelligence officers.
Zhang Xue Wang had been trained in the military before the apocalypse, and being by Du Ming Shan's side they had gone through a few large-scale battles as well. He had a better understanding of commanding troops than compared to Yue Zhong, who was half-baked and not as experienced.
When Yue Zhong was at Gui Ning City, he didn't abuse his authority to bully the weak or to indulge in vices. Instead, he had wholeheartedly sought to reclaim the stability and peace before the apocalypse. At the same time, he focused on expanding his power, conquering Nan Ning, and this caused Zhang Xue Wang to have a stronger sense of trust and respect for this young leader.
In the command post, many of the intelligence officers and subordinates were handpicked trusted aides of Yue Zhong, and Zhang Xue Wang and his men would not have an opportunity to backstab Yue Zhong anyway.
Yue Zhong stood on the battlefield, wielding his Black Tooth Blade, and chopped up the fallen evolved zombies.
Beside Yue Zhong, there were Ning Yu Xin, Xin Jia Rou, Mu Xiang Ling, Xue Ning, Nangong Bing Yun, all dressed in military uniforms. They were similarly launching attacks on the zombies. In order to evolve, they had to kill more zombies. These women were not willing to stay at home and become vases, leading comfortable lives. They hoped to better themselves.
In this apocalypse, to live better, one had to be strong or to rely on the strong. Although Ning Yu Xin and the few ladies had decided to rely on Yue Zhong, they wanted to gain strength and control their own destiny as well. Otherwise, if Yue Zhong were to die, their future would be bleak.
A large number of the evolved zombies were eliminated by the armored battalion, when all of a sudden, the horde parted, and 80 Devourers of different levels pounced out, making their way towards the tanks, machine gun-mounted vehicles, and IFVs.
On top of that, there were 400 L3s and S3s shooting forward towards the 2nd Battalion led by Yue Zhong.
"Not good!" Yue Zhong eyed those galloping L3s, S3s and Devourers, and his face fell. These were the elites of the evolved zombies, and a single L3 could destroy an elite force of soldiers without any heavy weapons. Machine guns were useless against them, and such horrifying existences could definitely decimate the 2nd Battalion of elites.
"Kill them all! Lightning, White Bones!" Yue Zhong pointed towards the horde of L3s and S3s and roared out his order.
With that, Lightning turned into a flash of light and charged towards the L3. With its extreme speed, it could break the sound barrier, and as it charged through the battlefield, numerous L3s would be decapitated, their headless corpses slumping to the ground.
White Bones charged amongst the S3s, and as they tried to pounce on it to bite it, it released its bone blades from various parts of its body and spun viciously, slashing many of them into pieces.
"Tian Hao! Protect the ladies!" Yue Zhong left an order, and he charged towards the Devourers.
Tian Hao, being a Strength and Agility-type Dual-attribute Evolver, stepped out silently to protect Ning Yu Xin and the rest. He was a strong expert, and after Yue Zhong had given him a set of equipment as well as a Type 3 Mutant Beast hide, his combat prowess rose by 3 times. As long as he was not surrounded by any high-level zombies, he was definitely capable of protecting the women.
Facing the Devourers, the armored battalions unleashed all their projectiles, including the IFVs, which turned their firing targets towards the Devourers.
Many of them were instantly torn apart by the various firepower. However, due to their insane speed, many of them managed to leap onto the IFVs, and they tore apart the hulls, spitting out a poisonous fog that turned the soldiers within into zombies in a manner of seconds.
TN:
Seriously, I have no idea how 80,000 a month could translate to 800,000 with 8 months. But ah well, stick to the author's point!

One of the IFVs was destroyed just like that at the hands of the Devourer. When Yue Zhong saw that, he was furious and immediately leapt into the air, channeling his Devil Flame. A huge ball of fire blasted towards the head of the Devourer, causing it to explode.
"Congratulations on achieving Level 67, you've gained 2 attribute points to be allocated."
Yue Zhong had disposed of 20 Devourers in a short span of time, and absorbed a large amount of experience, thus, stepping into Level 67.
The elites of the 2nd Battalion were also launching their skills towards the Devourers. Large ice picks, sharp wind blades, terrifying fireballs, and piercing air bubbles, there were even enhanced bullets that were all launched at the Devourers. Many of the Devourers were blasted into pieces or incinerated.
Under the combined efforts of the experts in the 2nd Battalion, those Devourers were annihilated quickly. Many of the experts also gained levels because of their slaughter of the Devourers.
Some of the brave soldiers managed to slaughter the other evolved zombies, causing large numbers of skill books and amounts of Survivor Coins to drop out.
With the armored battalion acting as a temporary base, Yue Zhong's 2nd Battalion continued to advance in a frenzy. They crushed any evolved zombies that they came across, slicing the horde in two.
At this time, the 3rd Battalion, together with Yun Zi Ge's command of Yang County's 1st Battalion came engaging the other zombies in a violent clash.
Under that continuous onslaught, large numbers of the evolved zombies were slowly being worn down by Yue Zhong's troops.
The intense battle carried on throughout the night. Yue Zhong finally eradicated all of the 50,000 evolved zombies with his 4 battalions, before directly setting up camp outside Bin Qi City.
"Today's battle, we've destroyed 50,000 zombies. We lost a total of 117 soldiers. The expenditure of ammo…." Within the temporary camp, Xin Jia Rou was reporting the details of the day's battle to Yue Zhong.
"Tough!! A horde with a commander is truly hard to deal with!" Yue Zhong frowned when he heard Xin Jia Rou's report. He had only managed to kill 50,000 zombies after an intense day's of battle. His side had suffered losses as well. It was hard to deal with the loss of 117 elite soldiers.
In the past, Yue Zhong could easily destroy a few dozen thousands of zombies, it was because they were ordinary zombies. Furthermore, they were usually squeezed together, making it easy for their heavy artillery to hit. That was how they achieved efficient results. As for the evolved zombies, while the heavy artillery was still useful, it was not as effective.
The more the numbers of the enemy, the stronger the effect of the heavy artillery. With lesser enemies, then the area of effect of the heavy cannons would be less effective.
Yue Zhong silently came to a decision: "This will not do! I need to deal with the Z-Type in Bin Qi City. Otherwise, even if we conquer it successfully, we will lack the strength to proceed to Yan Zhou City."
The 50,000 zombies today had been sent out as an advance party by the Z-Type within Bin Qi City. Inside the city, there were sure to be many more evolved zombies protecting the Z-Type.
Yue Zhong had the confidence to conquer the city when the rest of the troops arrived. However, that would take up too much time, and the casualty rate might rise as well.
After making the decision, Yue Zhong made some preparations and left towards Bin Qi City by himself.
Yue Zhong had many experts under his command, that was true. However, to scout Bin Qi City, he felt that he was the best choice. If there was a need, he could activate his Bone Encompassing Armor, and make use of the bone spikes to dodge the zombie horde. If he brought men, he would be worried about their safety. Furthermore, his current objective was to assassinate the Z-Type in Bin Qi City, not engage in an all-out clash with the horde.
Yue Zhong blended into the night, and his passive ability Night Enhancement was engaged. It allowed him to move like a fish in water in the darkness. He activated his Bone Encompassing Armor and rushed out towards Bin Qi City.
Within Bin Qi City, there were huge, deserted areas. Many abandoned vehicles laid strewn out. There was no sign of life, nor any signs of zombies.
"Are all the zombies already gathered?" Yue Zhong entered Bin Qi City and surveyed his surrounding. He shot out a piece of bone spike, propelling him up on top of a roof.
Yue Zhong's hands shot out bone spikes that supported him as he scaled the sides of the tall buildings, searching for signs of the zombie horde.
After searching for a long time, he finally discovered a huge sea of zombies gathered at the center of Bin Qi City.
"They're there!" Yue Zhong stood atop a building and looked down at the vast sea of zombies, and determined the location of the Z-Type.
The Z-Types were like the top echelons of human hierarchy, they were fearful of death. They would stay within the protection of their strongest subordinates.
Yue Zhong laid on top of the skyscraper and kept his gaze fixed on the centre. When he concentrated, his eyes became powerful enough to absorb all the information even from a distance. The image of the city centre became like a feed to him as it entered his eyes, and he scanned all the information for the targets he required.
While the Night Enhancement ability did not do much to help Yue Zhong in his constitution, it gifted him with strange skills in the dark of the night. One of them was to enhance his vision in the night to an overpower level.
"Level 70 Type IV Strength – Evolved Infected L4. It possesses immense strength and powerful defenses. It has the ability to infect, affecting any lifeforms."
"Level 65 Type IV Agility – Evolved Infected S4. A monster with terrifying speed. It has the ability to infect, affecting any lifeforms."
Yue Zhong saw the 2 species of Type 4 zombies. The L4-type was huge, towering at 4m, looking like a building. Its entire body was covered with a layer of black scales, and it had huge blocks for hands. The S4 was a green freak, that had huge powerful thighs, and sharp claws. It was about 1.5m or 1.6m tall.
The 2 types of zombies surrounded a huge supermarket, and there were about 10 of the L4s, but almost 200 of the smaller S4s.
Other than those L4s and S4s, the large supermarket contained over 20 Level 70 Devourers. 200 L3s and 500 other S3s filled the place as well.
Such an evolved troop of zombies were all surrounding the supermarket, protecting the center. The defenses were extremely tight, and no one would be able to just charge in like this.
Yue Zhong observed the surroundings and discovered nothing that he could use. He sank into deep thought for a moment, before using both his hands to aim at the entrance of the supermarket and activated his Devil Flame.
In an instant, 2 balls of blazing flames shot towards the ground like wrath from heavens and enveloped the L4s, S4s, and Devourers.
Yue Zhong's Devil Flame was the bane of the zombies after all, and while the exterior of the L3s and L4s could withstand the heat, their brains would definitely be turned to mush.
Hence, when the 2 balls of flames landed on the horde, it instantly caused chaos among the evolved zombies.
The L3s and L4s began to charge outwards, while many S4s and S3s were turned into ash by the Devil Flame.
Right at this time, a shrill and sharp howl sounded from the large supermarket. Countless zombies began to charge towards the location, intending to answer to the calls of help. However, many of the L3s, L4s, S3s and S4s were still burning from the Devil Flame, and were stuck together. Nothing could move.
The zombies were in a state of confusion and fear, and many swarmed to jump into the burning flames, intending to use their corpses to vanquish the flames.
Yue Zhong continued to release 2 huge tornadoes of flames downwards, while the evolved zombies continued to rush into the flames, sending themselves into oblivion.
The strong L3s, L4s, S3s and S4s were all squeezed tightly by the rest of the horde, unable to move. They could only struggle helplessly as the Devil Flames consumed them. At the same time, under the shrill call of help from the Z-Type in the supermarket, the terrifying Devourers also leapt into the burning flames, meeting their end.
Numerous highly evolved zombies were turned into ash just like that, and huge amounts of experience orbs rushed into Yue Zhong, causing him to charge through levels.
Ordinarily, Yue Zhong would find it extremely tough to deal with either an L4 or S4. However, because they were squeezed and had no way of escaping, they could only stay there helplessly as they burnt.
"Congratulations on achieving Level 68, you've gained 2 attribute points to be allocated."
"Congratulations on achieving Level 69, you've gained 2 attribute points to be allocated."
"Congratulations on achieving Level 70, you've gained 1 attribute point to be allocated, as well as an additional active skill."
Under those conditions where the evolved zombies rushed to their own deaths, Yue Zhong actually gained 3 levels in one shot, breaking the Level 70 limit.
He immediately allocated 6 points into Agility, and kept the additional skill point. He wanted to collect them, in order to evolve the Devil Flame into its Second Order stage.
The zombies were still continuing to charge into Yue Zhong's fiery pit of death. Yue Zhong's pupils constricted as he sent 2 more hurricanes of flames towards the supermarket.
Immediately, a shrill scream sounded out from the supermarket, as it began to combust and burn.
Yue Zhong slapped his hands together, and the 2 raging tornadoes of fire enveloped the entire 3-storey building, causing the whole supermarket to burn.
With a crash, the windows of the 2nd-storey broke, and an L4 charged out from the shattered glass.
A number of L4s and S4s, as well as Level 70 Devourers, leapt out from the supermarket, their total numbers reaching 200. There were even 30-over heads of the tank-like L4s.
"Powerful! Fortunately, I didn't go in." Yue Zhong eyed those 200 Type-4 Evolved zombies and celebrated in his heart.

Chapter 524 – Promotion! Second Order Devil Flame!

If Yue Zhong had encountered 200 Type 4 zombies or even those Level 70 Devourers, he did not have the confidence to deal with them.
Yue Zhong saw the Type 4 evolved zombies and Devourers jump out from the supermarket and waved his hands. A huge Devil Flame tornado blasted towards the 2nd level of the supermarket. He had to force the Z-Type out.
Under the pressure of Yue Zhong's blazing tornadoes, the entire 2nd level was covered in flames, creating a burning hell.
"It didn't appear! The Z-Type should be within those zombies that jumped out just now." With a thought, his eyes swept over the fleeing group of Type 4 zombies. He concentrated his Spirit, and his pupils constricted, and the entire scene was taken in.
Those 200 zombies that had escaped from the supermarket were now gathered in a tight bunch, making their escape in a hurry.
A sudden shrill scream sounded from the group of 200 Type 4 zombies, and the surrounding horde immediately made way, creating a path for the group to run.
Yue Zhong waved his hands as he watched the escaping zombies, and his Swift Shadow Bike appeared beside him. He quickly adjusted the cannons on the bike and fired rapidly at the zombies.
All of a sudden, thousands of projectiles bombarded the horde of zombies.
Under the assault of the cannons, holes were blasted in the bodies of the S4s, and even some Devourers were injured as well. However, the rounds only bounced off the scaly defenses and exploded without hurting the zombies, not even shaking them in the slightest.
"These zombies are truly fearsome!" Yue Zhong sucked in a breath of cold air as he watched the bullets having no effect on the tank-like L4s.
The L4's armor could not even be pierced by the bullets from a gattling cannon. The only weapons available to men that could possibly threaten it were heavy rockets, tanks, and missiles. Even the IFVs would be useless against them, only serving to be hammered.
The bullets seemed to have frightened the Z-Type and it suddenly screamed. Under that rallying call, a few hundred Type 3 zombies charged over and surrounded it.
"Got it!" Within that darkness, Yue Zhong's eyes were unparalleled. He instantly located the source of the scream, with many of the zombies around shuddering at the time of the scream. Only 1 L4 was special, not moving even after that rallying cry.
After locking on to his target, Yue Zhong fired out a bone spike, supporting him towards the direction of the Z-Type. At the same time, he waved his hands and a fearsome fiery tornado was sent in the direction of the Z-Type.
As though it had sensed the danger, the Z-Type immediately screeched out. A number of S3s and S4s leaped up to take the blow. They were burnt black as a result.
A number of the L4s and S4s were also assembled around the Z-Type, acting as some form of meat shield. The terrifying Devil Flame tornado burnt for a while, incinerating the brains of the Type 4 zombies.
Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps atop the building and his speed exceeded a Type 2 Lightning. It was almost 22-times that of an ordinary person. In just 10 mere seconds, he had managed to catch up to the group of zombies. He jumped down from the building, aiming at the opposite roof. He shot out some silk from the Spider Silk Ring, and he swung towards the zombies like Spiderman.
There were 2 S4s remaining and they jumped high into the air. Their obscene leg muscles enabled them to reach a height of 15m, and they slashed out viciously at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong immediately responded by firing 2 bone spikes with just a thought, slicing the 2 S4s in two, their blood spraying everywhere.
After Yue Zhong took down the 2 S4s, he waved his hand to send out another Devil Flame Tornado towards the L4s that surrounded the Z-Type.
Urged by fear, the Z-Type hiding in the body of the L4 continued to screech out sharply, as a powerful Spirit attack was launched towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong's Spirit and Endurance had reached a powerful degree. He only frowned a little when the attack landed on him.
At the next moment, the fiery Devil Flame tornado enveloped the entire body of the L4, cooking it.
The L4's body could even block cannons, so the Level 4 Devil Flame had no way of breaking down the body. Just as the Devil Flame was burning, a hole appeared in the body of the L4. The Z2 hiding within immediately jumped out in a bid to escape.
"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong immediately waved his hand to envelop the Z2 with his Devil Flame when he saw it jumped out.
The Z2 screamed out and was incinerated within seconds.
The moment the Z2 died, the entire horde began breaking apart. The remaining zombies started to escape in various directions.
As for the Type 3 and Type 4 evolved zombies, they began to pounce towards Yue Zhong. The scent of fresh meat and blood was the strongest attraction to them.
The spider silk in Yue Zhong's hand allowed him to be pulled back up the roof, and escape from the clutches of the zombies. He had cast the Devil Flame many times in succession and the toll on his Spirit and Stamina was huge. It was not that he could not continue fighting against the zombies, but it was too dangerous. If he was not careful, he might be swallowed by the zombies.
Yue Zhong then made his way towards the supermarket entrance, where the flames were starting to die out. All around the entrance, there was ash and a few L4 corpses.
The Devil Flame had easily consumed the zombies other than the L4s. Since the L4 had incredibly tough defenses, it would take more time with the burning to turn the L4 into ash.
Yue Zhong made use of the spider silk to swing himself towards the entrance of the supermarket, where he picked up over 20 skill books, 10 green Treasure Boxes, 25 white Treasure Boxes, and 2,000 Survivor Coins. After keeping the loot, he disappeared into the night.
When he went back to the camp, he started to go through the loot thoroughly.
"Alright! I made a killing this time." As he counted, his eyes were filled with joy.
In taking the risk to kill the Z-Type, his spoils were truly abundant. He had gotten a total of 25 skill books, of which, there were 8 Level 2 skills, 13 Level 3 skills, and 4 Level 4 skills.
Among the Level 3 skill books, there were the Werewolf Transformation, Were-Leopard Transformation, Werecat Transformation, Forest Ranger Transformation, Flame Storm, Ice Spear, Summon Grizzly Bear, Gravity Manipulation, Steel Body, Clone Technique, Stealth, Bide, Element Shield.
Of the Level 4 skill books, there were the Second Order Stamina Solidification, Second Order Devil Flame, Second Order High-Speed Movement, Second Order Steel Body.
"Level 3 Skill Book. Ice Spear. Congeals a powerful spear of ice to attack enemies. Consumes 30 Spirit. Non-specialized users can only use the skill once per day."
"Level 3 Skill Book. Summon Grizzly Bear. Summons a powerful grizzly bear to attack enemies. Consumes 20 Spirit."
"Level 3 Skill Book, Steel Body. Passive skill. Upon learning it, user's body will become stronger and tougher. Requires Endurance to be at least 120 to learn."
"Level 3 Skill Book, Clone Technique. Consumes 40 Spirit to produce a clone. The user can see what clone sees, at the same time, the clone has 10% of the attributes of the original. The clone is not able to utilize skills."
"Level 3 Skill Book, Bide. Expends 30 Stamina, to attack out with 3 times the penetrative power."
"Level 3 Skill Book, Element Shield. Consumes 30 Spirit to produce an elemental magic shield to protect the user. It can defend against all elemental attacks."
"Level 4 Skill Book: Second Order Stamina Solidification. Upon learning, Stamina increased by 55 points permanently. Requires the skill Stamina Solidification of Level 3 and above. Expends 2 skill points."
"Level 4 Skill Book: Second Order High-Speed Movement. Active Skill. Increases Agility by 80 points when active. Duration of 5 minutes. Requires the skill High-Speed Movement of Level 3 and above. Expends 2 skill points."
"Level 4 Skill Book: Second Order Steel Body. Allows the user to have a body as tough as metal. Requires the skill Steel Body of Level 3 and above. Expends 2 skill points."
Yue Zhong held the skill books in his hands and pondered for a while, before deciding to learn the Steel Body and Clone Technique. 2 bright lights flashed, and 2 additional bronze runes of information appeared in his mind.
After learning the Steel Body skill, Yue Zhong's body coupled with his 181 points of Endurance became incredibly tough. He was now impervious to even heavy caliber bullets. He had become even more powerful.
Of course, even if the heavy caliber bullets could not penetrate his body, the recoil and impact were not negligible. It would still be able to cause some degree of harm.
Of the 10 Green Treasure Boxes, 6 had ordinary Level 3 Treasures, while the remaining 4 produced Level 4 Treasures. One of them was the Falcon Sniper.
"Level 4 Treasure: Black Wind Hook. Extremely sharp hook."
"Level 4 Treasure: Black Steel Mace! A huge mace weighing over a ton. There's no defense it cannot break, and no item it cannot smash."
"Level 4 Treasure: Gauntlet of Strength. Upon equipping, 15 Strength."
Yue Zhong equipped the Gauntlet of Strength and his Strength raised by 5 (exchanging with the Glove of Strength). His Strength now reached 100 points and was just perfectly at 10 times a normal person's Strength.
The night passed peacefully, as the zombies hid within the city after losing their Z-Type commander. None dared come out to attack Yue Zhong.
Early the next morning, Hu Yi led the armored battalion to launch an assault on Bin Qi City.
Inside Bin Qi City, there were numerous zombies, but they lacked all form of order. Instead, they had become easy fodder, taken out by the armored battalion and the experts under Yue Zhong.
At the same time, the reinforcements arrived quickly, charging into the fray. The pressure mounted against the zombies in Bin Qi City, as the elite troops and army of Yue Zhong, continued to slaughter their way within.
With the constant reinforcements, the entire cleanup took about a week. Only then, Bin Qi City became free of zombies.
"Congratulations, you have conquered Bin Qi City and obtained the title 'Bin Qi City Conqueror'! This title grants you 2 points increase in all attributes. The title can't be earned again! Effects of titles can be stacked!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Bin Qi City, gaining 3 levels, and obtaining 6 attribute points to be allocated."
"You have brought troops and conquered Bin Qi City, earning 10,000 Survivor Coins!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Bin Qi City, earning a Level 4 Defence Vest!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Bin Qi City, earning 1 additional skill point!"
When Yue Zhong's forces cleared Bin Qi City of the zombies, a number of notifications rang out in his mind.
"Great! Evolve Second Order Devil Flame!" The moment Yue Zhong heard the notifications, he exclaimed out in surprise and chose to evolve his Devil Flame.
The Skill Book Second Order Devil Flame in his hands disappeared into his mind. At the same time, 2 skill points were deducted and transformed into light, merging with the skill book. The merged light flashed and turned green, inscribing more characters on the bronze rune of the Devil Flame.
The moment the mysterious characters were finished inscribing, another notification resounded in Yue Zhong's mind: "Congratulations, your Devil Flame has evolved to its Second Order stage!"

Chapter 525 – Pointing towards Yan Zhou!

When Yue Zhong's Devil Flame skill had evolved, he casually conjured out a Devil Flame ball with a thought. The Second Order Devil Flame was more than twice as strong as the Devil Flame at its Level 4 stage, when comparing the similar Spirit expenditure.
Back at Gui Ning City, the city was back to its usual hustle and bustle, and not a single idle person could be seen. Machines were constantly chugging, and countless factory workers were hard at work manufacturing clothes, weapons, canned meat, packing rations and other supplies.
The entire city's survivors had been activated, fulfilling their individual roles as gears of a larger machine in preparation for war.
In the midst of their busy actions, there was a slight anxiety among the survivors. Many of them knew of Yue Zhong's operation of deploying his huge army to battle the zombies. This was a vital fight that would determine the future of Gui Ning City.
If he won, Yue Zhong's might would increase exponentially. However, if he lost, he would suffer terribly, and all sorts of characters would leap out to take a bite.
Yue Zhong had a huge amount of prestige in Gui Ning City, but likewise, there were enemies in the shadows. There were even certain people within his army hoping for his failure.
Inside a small room, 5 men were gathered secretly in a discussion.
One middle-aged man spoke: "Bin Qi City has over 2 million zombies, while Yan Zhou City has over 3 million. Adding them together, there's at least 6 million zombies. That guy only has a 10,000-strong army, how can he win?"
A young Evolver laughed coldly: "Hmph! Yue Zhong sure is a retard, he thought that just because his troops repelled the previous zombie horde attack, they're suddenly invincible. He's too full of himself. He was just lucky the previous time. This time, his luck sure is to run out."
Another burly and tanned man chuckled as well: "Precisely! Once he loses, we can act. By that time, the entire Gui Ning City! As well as the Guang Xi region will be ours!"
At various corners of Gui Ning City, small gatherings like this were ongoing, discussing the possibility of usurping Yue Zhong.
At this time, Gui Ning City was under the strict rule of Yue Zhong and his subordinates, all these little factions had no way of stepping out to show themselves. However, should Yue Zhong fall, they would seize the chance.
One soldier rode a bike all the way into Gui Ning City, and brought explosive news: "Leader Yue Zhong had conquered Bin Qi City with the troops! The entire Bin Qi City is under our control now!"
"Long live Yue Zhong!!"
"Awesome!! We gained another city!!"
This exciting news caused the entire Gui Ning City to be in an uproar, as numerous survivors roared with delight.
Conquering a city meant that all the resources in the city prior to the apocalypse would land in Yue Zhong's faction. These survivors would definitely stand to benefit, and their future would seem even brighter.
Furthermore, the fact that Yue Zhong had the strength to conquer a major city meant that it would not be impossible to conquer a 2nd or 3rd one. This caused even more reverence, hope and trust in Yue Zhong from the survivors of Gui Ning City.
"Shit, he actually conquered Bin Qi City!"
"That's a place with 2 million fucking zombies! How the heck did he accomplish it so easily? Is he still human?!"
Upon hearing the news of Yue Zhong conquering Bin Qi City, those small groups with motives began to feel despair. They did not know that most of the zombies in Bin Qi City had been blown away by the snowstorm. When they heard that Yue Zhong conquered the city, their hearts were filled with helplessness and despair.
If Yue Zhong were to continue his victorious streak like that, his rule would just become even more concrete. No one would be able to shake him from his position. Those smaller factions hidden amongst the ordinary survivors would never get the chance to display their might.
With the passage of time, a number of troops were mobilized and sent to Bin Qi City. There was currently an elite regiment of over 10,000 elites within Bin Qi City now.
This elite regiment was not made of some riff-raff. Every single one of them had been through countless battles. They have killed their share of human enemies, as well as zombies, and have shed their blood.
This elite troop was used to control Guang Xi as well as Vietnam, and they could handle a 100,000-strong zombie horde as well.
Inside a meeting hall, many commanders and captains were gathered. Yue Zhong sat at the helm and was overseeing the meeting.
Yue Zhong glanced at Hu Yi and asked: "This time, I've gathered everyone, as I want to prepare to set off for Yan Zhou City. Hu Yi, is the Gui Ning 1st Battalion still in its prime condition?"
Hu Yi's 1st Battalion was the mechanized infantry battalion as well as the vanguard strike force in Yue Zhong's troops. They had helped to storm Ji County, and Bin Qi City, and their experience and gains were not small. Likewise, they had expended quite a bit of energy. Human soldiers were not zombies, and could get tired or exhausted. They would not be able to fight forever unlike the zombies.
Hu Yi answered with a voice of confidence: "Yes!! Our 1st Battalion is willing to be the vanguard in assaulting Yan Zhou City!"
After the constant battles, the combat strength of Hu Yi's 1st Battalion had truly grown. At the same time, they had increased their forces to accommodate over a thousand soldiers. This was the basis for Hu Yi's confidence.
Chai Zi Cang spoke up as well: "The 1st Battalion had just taken down Bin Qi City, they should rest for a moment. Leader, the Gui Ning 5th Battalion is willing to be the vanguard and take down Yan Zhou for you!"
Chen Sheng Gang also spoke up enthusiastically: "Leader! Our 8th Battalion had not done anything yet, our bones are about to rot! Let us be the vanguard and obtain Yan Zhou for you!"
"Leader!! Our 9th Battalion will take down Yan Zhou!!"
One by one, the commanders began to seek for Yue Zhong's deployment of their forces.
Yue Zhong's establishments focused on military merits. Only through merits would one stand a chance to rise in rank, and obtain more forces and resources. Many of the commanders knew that Hu Yi had been the main strike force in the operation to take down Bin Qi City, and would expand further after the battle for Yan Zhou. This time, it was unknown how many more commanders there would be, and who would even rise to become a regiment commander.
Hence, many of them wanted better prospects for themselves and their subordinates.
"This army is truly valiant!" Inside the meeting room, Cheng Sheng Yong looked at the forces and thought to himself in envy.
In this apocalypse, many of the large factions would have their smaller cliques within. Some of them would work together sometimes, others would try to stay back during operations to protect their strength, in case they lost them. When Yue Zhong was in Vietnam, the Chinese Association was like this. Even when Chen Sheng Yong was at the helm of his power, he had people who would give excuses not to take part in the operations in lieu of the big picture. They had instead chosen to preserve their strength. That led to their own downfall.
Yue Zhong eyed all his commanders with appreciation and hollered a command: "Good! For this battle, the 1st Battalion, 4th Battalion, 8th Battalion and 9th Battalion would form a joint strike force. The 5th Battalion would move to defend Qishan District, the 11th Battalion to defend Zhushan District, Lang Son 3rd Battalion to defend Heshan District, and the rest is to assemble as reinforcements. Await further orders!"
Yue Zhong then glanced around and spoke seriously: "This battle, we can only win, there can be no failure!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in a resounding voice.
Upon receiving Yue Zhong's order, the troops began to prepare, as they set off for their individual objectives.
Yue Zhong then went to the command center and asked one of the officers: "What is the situation over there now?"
The officer immediately brought up a display for Yue Zhong: "Leader! There are countless droves of zombies moving towards Yan Zhou! Please take a look!"
Yue Zhong looked at the screen and frowned.
On the screen, many waves of zombies were currently making their way towards the direction of Yan Zhou. These were those zombies that had been in Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou, but were blown away by the snowstorm.
The smaller droves numbered a few dozen thousands, while the larger hordes numbered in the hundred thousands. The moment these zombies gathered at Yan Zhou, then there would be a total of over 3 million zombies. It would then become a city that was almost impregnable.
Yue Zhong only had a force of 10,000. His ammunition was lacking. Using frontal assault against 3 million zombies would be a fool's dream.
It was precisely because of this, that Yue Zhong had no choice but to deploy his forces to take down Yan Zhou. They had to eliminate the zombies within Yan Zhou first. However, the expedition on Bin Qi City had taken over 9 days. As for Yan Zhou, the gathered zombies were already numbering in the 400,000s. Everyday, the numbers were increasing in the dozens and hundreds of thousands.
The officer pointed to the screen and explained: "Based on the current situation, these 3 main hordes of zombies would enter Yan Zhou in another 3 days. The moment they enter, the total number of zombies in Yan Zhou would cross a million."
Yue Zhong looked at the screen and thought to himself: "We need to take down Yan Zhou in the next 3 days. At the very least, I need to force the death of the Z-Type there."
He handed the command of the place over before stepping out. All of a sudden, he felt a sudden strange feeling in his mind, and he lifted his head. He discovered a huge Type 2 Green Eagle flying in the distance, and there was a huge transport aircraft and an assault helicopter beside it.
"Greenie!" Yue Zhong saw the Type 2 Green Eagle and his eyes lit with joy before he ordered loudly: "Do not fire!!"
Under his command, no anti-air defenses were activated, and the huge bird, as well as the 2 aircraft, landed.
The moment Greenie landed, it began to snuggle against Yue Zhong with its head affectionately.
"Good! Good! This is for you!" Yue Zhong exclaimed with joy and handed a whole bunch of Type 2 nuclei and Type 3 nuclei to Greenie.

When Greenie saw those nuclei, it also immediately swallowed them in joy.
It gobbled up the 20-over Type 2 Nuclei and 3 Type 3 Nuclei before its body shuddered. It then laid on the ground and fell asleep, undergoing evolution.
When most Mutant Beasts go through evolution, they would do so in their own nests or amongst their own kind to be protected. Greenie had been tamed by Yue Zhong and had always stayed beside him to evolve. It trusted Yue Zhong very much.
At the same time, 2 beautiful women walked out from the aircraft carrier. They were Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao. Other than them, there were 20 soldiers that followed behind, each of them carrying a huge bloody aura.
Yue Zhong saw Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao and his eyes lit up in joy: "Qing Wu, Yao Yao. You guys are here too!"
Ji Qing Wu glanced at Yue Zhong and asked: "Lu Wen and Ya Tong are asking, when are you going back?"
Although her tone was mild, Yue Zhong could detect the slightest dissatisfaction. It was obvious that even Ji Qing Wu was begrudging him for staying so long at Guang Xi.
Currently, Yue Zhong had 3 huge territories, Guang Xi, Vietnam and Long Hai. Of them, Guang Xi had the most number of survivors and had the highest potential to expand and develop. Yue Zhong had been staying over here for so long, the people in Long Hai City were getting restless. After all, Yue Zhong had established his place at Long Hai first. If Yue Zhong stayed at Guang Xi for too long, then there was a potential for Guang Xi to become the major base for Yue Zhong's government.
Yue Zhong chuckled: "Yan Zhou! After we conquer Yan Zhou, I'll go back."
Yan Zhou was of the utmost priority to Yue Zhong now. The moment he conquered it, his establishments would get a constant supply of arms and ammunition. At the same time, with Yan Zhou, he would finally have a proper military base.
Ji Qing Wu grunted mildly in reply, before pointing towards the 20 soldiers and introduced them: "These 20 are the elites of the Special Forces. Every single one of them is above Level 50 and they're here to do your bidding."
"Great!" Yue Zhong eyed them and exclaimed his appreciation.
Enhancers that could reach Level 50 and above were truly the elite amongst elites. They must have killed countless zombies and Mutant Beasts. Each of them could easily kill 200 or 300 zombies. The stronger ones could even take on a thousand on their own with no problems. Such a force was truly equivalent to an infantry battalion.
Ji Qing Wu asked: "I read the report on the way here! There's a huge horde moving towards Yan Zhou, and the numbers seem to exceed a million. What are your plans?"
Yue Zhong replied seriously: "Deploy every force we have to launch a full assault on Yan Zhou! We must conquer it before the zombie horde gathers fully. We'll have to eliminate the Z-Type in there."
"Do you have the confidence?" She challenged.
Yue Zhong chuckled assuredly: "I have 70% confidence that we can take it down."
This time, Yue Zhong had brought out all his trump cards. There were 40 tanks, the self-propelling rocket launchers, 155mm cannons, Red Arrows, IFVs and all sorts of modern weaponry. Each of them had ammunition that stacked like mountains. He had also deployed his force of over 10,000 elite soldiers. These soldiers could definitely hold their own against the ordinary zombies Although there were over tens of thousands of evolved zombies within Yan Zhou, Yue Zhong wasn't worried.
Hu Yi led the 1st Armored Battalion, the 4th Battalion, 8th Battalion and 9th Battalion into the entrance of Yan Zhou. 200,000 evolved zombies immediately charged towards them like huge waves on the sea.
Yue Zhong's troops had already done their preparations and dug up numerous trenches. They had also constructed some simple traps and obstructions, including steel beams, wire meshes, and even road cones.
The sea of zombies had just rushed out and was instantly met with an intense volley of fire. Rocket rounds and heavy artillery bombarded the zombies, obliterating huge numbers of them at one go.
The entire battlefield shook consistently, as though it was struck by an earthquake. The intense firing did not cease. Under that volley of bullets and heavy rounds, many zombies were blasted to pieces.
An L3 was invulnerable to guns and bullets. Even heavy machine guns would not be able to take it down easily. If such a terrifying zombie was given enough space to wreck havoc, it could easily take down an entire squad of soldiers. Yet, such existences found it hard to hold up against that endless rain of heavy artillery, many bombed to bits and pieces.
Within the horde, a 4m-tall L4 was charging towards the soldiers like a tank. A round from the self-propelled rocket launchers exploded on the body of the L4. As the blast roared out, the huge L4 was immediately blasted apart, its head rolling to one side. It was taken out.
The might of the modern weaponry were truly effective against the zombies that were packed tightly together, and countless zombies were incinerated as the firing went on.
"What a pity! If only I had enough cannons and ammunition. The zombies would be nothing." Yue Zhong stood at the front lines and watched the countless evolved zombies being turned to dust, and shook his head.
If only they had an unlimited ammunition supply, they could just support a modern army to eradicate even millions and tens of millions of zombies.
After the heavy artillery bombarded the entire area once and blanketed the entire area, the huge sea of zombie was almost reduced to nothing.
By the time it ended, there were only about 60,000 evolved zombies left on the battlefield. A total of 140,000 zombies had been wiped out in the volley of fire.
Among the 60,000 zombies, there were still about 4 L4s and 50 L3s. These L4 zombies were huge and garnered the attention of everyone present due to their freakish size.
The remaining 60,000 continued their charge towards the humans. There were no Z-Types among them, and even if they were eradicated, they would still not feel despair or fear. This was the terrifying point of zombies.
The faster S-Types managed to reach the humans first. In their charge, they would be entangled in the countless wire meshes and fell to the ground, before they were grounded to paste by the zombies behind them. After the various ground traps had served their purpose in stopping many S-Types, the L3s easily tore through them, pulling them up from the ground.
At various areas around the battlefield, the steel wires, bars and traps would hamper the S-Types. The moment they were caught in the traps, they would be fired upon by the human soldiers.
However, the situation did not last long, as with the charge of the L3s, which pulled with their might, all the traps were either ripped from the ground or torn apart. The evolved zombies then continued to charge towards the humans.
Another round of heavy artillery blasted towards the L3 and L4s. Other than those rounds, all other ammunition was basically ineffective.
Countless bullets and heavy machine gun fire would just ricochet off the bodies of the L3s and L4s, not hurting them in the slightest. Even the impact from the 12.7mm bullets from could not shake the L3s at all. As for the L4s, they basically did not feel anything from such rounds.
"Powerful!" Yue Zhong looked at those L3s and L4s and thought to himself.
The L3s and L4s demonstrated their usefulness that outstripped the S4s on the battlefield. They were like indestructible tanks and could tear apart anything that blocked their way. Especially the L4s, which could flip tanks easily.
"Come with me!" Ji Qing Wu watched the L3s and L4s and immediately charged towards them like a gust of wind.
Yao Yao and the 20 Enhancers over Level 50 immediately followed behind, their strike as sharp as a sword.
"Tell the 1st Battalion 2nd Company to stop." Yue Zhong saw Ji Qing Wu and the rest charging and immediately gave the order to an officer beside him.
After that, his own figure flashed towards their direction. Against the terrifying L4s, Yue Zhong was still concerned about the safety of Ji Qing Wu and the rest.
With the tremendous strength of the L4s, if even a fist were to land on Yue Zhong, he would be heavily injured. As for others whose Endurance was not high, even an Evolver would die the moment a fist from the L4 landed.
However, Ji Qing Wu's performance led Yue Zhong's expression to brighten. Her body flashed about gracefully, as she leaped into the midst of the zombie horde like a fairy, a green coloured divine sword in her hand streaking with a long blade light. Countless shadows were emitted from her blade as she danced apart and each time the blade shadows touched the L3s, their heads would be sliced off, with blood spraying everywhere.
She continued to weave in and out of the zombie horde, and many L3 heads flew. She quickly arrived in front of an L4 and dodged the incoming blow with ease. Her feet lit up with some faint green light, and she leaped all the way to the head of the L4 before she slashed down viciously, and the blade actually penetrated the skull of the L4.
"Strong!" Yue Zhong saw how Ji Qing Wu actually slaughtered an L4 with a single move, and could not help but praise in his heart.
Ji Qing Wu's abilities were obviously close-combat focused, but the fact that they could complement her swordplay and movement, that was truly terrifying. As long as she got close, Yue Zhong knew that no one under his command was a match for her.
On the other side, Yao Yao's body transformed into a streak of light that surpassed the speed of Lightning when it was Type 2, charging straight through the zombies. She somehow appeared on top of an L4 as well, and her hand carried a black shadow about 1 meter long that pierced the L4's head.

The black light spun furiously, all the way till it penetrated the skull of the L4, and proceeded to grind the contents to mash.
After killing that L4, Yao Yao's face was slightly pale. She grabbed the treasure that dropped from her kill, before disappearing from the midst of zombies.
On the other side, after Ji Qing Wu had disposed of the L4, she also retreated quickly. The 2 of them had used their strong skills to instantly take out 2 L4s, and the consumption of Stamina and Spirit was naturally high.
As they were retreating, huge blades of wind and blazing spears of flame bombarded the zombies. They were also supported by enhanced bullets and manipulated vines, clearing the way for Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao through the crowd of L3s.
It was obvious that the teamwork of this elite team was extremely coordinated and flawless. They were formed with Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao as the core fighting members, and the rest as support.
As the experts were helping Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao to retreat, Yue Zhong waved his hand. A Devil Flame Spear of blazing temperatures surpassing its previous form was sent towards the head of one L4 in a flash of light.
With a loud explosion, the Devil Flame Spear combusted, incinerating the head of the L4 instantly, leaving a headless corpse.
The huge bulky zombie slumped to the ground.
"Strong!!" The elite soldiers saw Yue Zhong taking the L4 like nothing and their hearts ran cold. Not one of them had the ability to do what Yue Zhong did.
After destroying the L4 in one second, Yue Zhong waved his hand, and a number of Devil Flame balls conjured out of thin air, exploding on the heads of the L3s.
The sounds of explosions rang out constantly, and the remaining L3s were all taken out easily by Yue Zhong. After his Devil Flame evolved, it had become even more terrifying. Killing the L3s no longer needed the Devil Flame Spear, any one fireball would do the job.
When the L4s and L3s were all taken care of by Yue Zhong, the remaining zombies were impeded by the various traps, and could not display their might. Yue Zhong's forces just continued unleashing heavy fire, slaughtering as many as they could.
Yue Zhong had brought all the ammunition and weapons he amassed to this battle at Yan Zhou, hence his troops did not spare any expense and just fired at will.
Even if the evolved zombies were at least 10 times stronger than the ordinary zombies, or even a 100 times, under that fearsome fire by Yue Zhong's troops, they were blasted to bits.
Soon after, the Tian Xin County's 1st Battalion, Long Teng County's 1st Battalion were brought into the fray.
The intense battle went on for an entire day, and Yue Zhong's army expended a huge amount of their ammunition before finally eliminating all 60,000 evolved zombies.
After eradicating the zombies, Yue Zhong's forces continued into Yan Zhou.
"Congratulations, you have conquered Yan Zhou and obtained the title 'Yan Zhou Conqueror'! This title grants you 2 points increase in all attributes. The title can't be earned again! Effects of titles can be stacked!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Yan Zhou, gaining 3 levels, and obtaining 6 attribute points to be allocated."
"You have brought troops and conquered Yan Zhou, earning 10,000 Survivor Coins!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Yan Zhou, earning a Level 4 Defence Vest!"
"You have brought troops and conquered Yan Zhou, earning 1 additional skill point!"
The moment Yue Zhong set foot in Yan Zhou, a flurry of notifications rang out in his mind.
When Yue Zhong heard it, he was alarmed: "Shit! Did the Z-type in Yan Zhou escape?"
One officer came up to him and quickly reported: "Leader!! The Z-type in Yan Zhou had escaped! They're currently fleeing towards the direction of Heshan District."
The unmanned tactical drones had been monitoring the movements of the zombies and discovered about 100,000 evolved zombies escaping.
Yue Zhong's face fell and quickly ordered out ruthlessly: "Shit! We cannot let them converge with the horde at that side, otherwise the consequences will be dire! Relay my order, get Cheng Sheng Yong to hold out. They had better protect Heshan, if the 2 hordes join forces, I'll see that his head rolls!"
There was a total of 400,000 zombies moving towards Heshan District, and the moment the Z-type was allowed to gather those ordinary zombies, it would pose a huge threat to Yan Zhou.
In Heshan, when Cheng Sheng Yong received the order from Yue Zhong, he laughed bitterly and grumbled: "We have only 2,000 men here, how can we withstand 100,000 evolved zombies?"
One sentry officer stepped up to suggest: "Captain! Why don't we take our men and escape! We'll die if we stay here, I suspect that Yue Zhong is purposely sending us to our deaths, and to whittle our Vietnamese strength down."
Chen Sheng Yong chuckled bitterly and replied slowly: "Escape? Where can we escape to? The moment we run, our comrades will be slaughtered by him anyway. Our families would become slaves. Furthermore, we're not at all familiar with this Guang Xi region. Our language is a barrier as well. The moment we lose the resources from Yue Zhong, we won't even last more than a month."
Cheng Sheng Yong's eyes shone with a strange light as he spoke each line deliberately: "Now, we can only follow his orders. We have to stay here and protect this place. Even if we all die, Yue Zhong will not let our efforts go to vain, and he would protect our families and comrades. Therefore, this battle, we HAVE to guard here. Not because of Yue Zhong, but because of the future of our fellow countrymen."
Chen Sheng Yong had plenty of bad habits of his own, and wasn't some perfect human being. However, he valued his fellow comrades very much, and when he had submitted to Yue Zhong, it was partly to protect his own life, as well as the possibility of survival for his Vietnamese comrades.
If Yue Zhong was merciless, then not a single Vietnamese would live to see another day. Especially those in Hanoi. Chen Sheng Yong had joined Yue Zhong's forces to be the voice for them should the need arises.
Chen Sheng Yong sighed and said: "Go get started on the fortifications! This time, our survival will depend heavily on our preparations!"
Hearing those words, the intelligence officer sunk in deep thought, before saluting Cheng Sheng Yong, his own eyes flashing with resolution and acceptance. He then stepped out.
Under Chen Sheng Yong's orders, the Lang Son 3rd Battalion began their works on the main road towards Heshan.
With the ample resources that were deployed, all sorts of wire meshes, steel beams, barricades, etc were set up by the soldiers. While they were simple, they proved to be very effective against the zombies.
If there were no L3s or L4s that were basically like tanks to clear the road, the obstructions and traps were enough to impede many of the zombies.
Just as the forces of Chen Sheng Yong had finished the fortifications, a group of over 4,000 S-Types consisting of S2s, S3s and S4s appeared on the horizon. These speedy zombies were sent as a vanguard by the Z-Type, also to scout.
With the passage of time, the intelligence of the Z-Types were growing. Initially, they would just command huge group of zombies to charge recklessly. However, they had already begun to grasp tactics and strategy, even knowing to retreat when things turned bad.
Chen Sheng Yong saw the S-types approaching and begun to holler to raise the morale of his troops: "They're here!! Brothers!! Fire at will!! We must block them from crossing here! We cannot even allow one to pass us! Once we win this, everyone can raise ranks and get some wives!!"
With his words, the morale of the soldiers was bolstered.
Soon the group of S-Types reached the areas of fortifications and were met with huge obstructions. The obstacles and traps showed their effectiveness.
Usually, the S4's speed could exceed a Type 2 Lightning. In an ordinary battle, an S4 could easily wipe out a company of soldiers. However, in a charge, with a dozen S4s acting as the vanguard, the moment they slammed into the multiple fortifications, their legs were either sliced off, or they would fall on the ground. Even if they weren't finished off, they would lose their speed.
The S-Types would be impeded by the various traps as they charged over, some falling, some falling into the pits with steel beams. Many were either killed or heavily injured.
A number of the S-Types were smarter as they tried to jump over the obstacles, but they were stopped by the steel wires.
Chen Sheng Yong got his troops to begin firing at the S-Types, turning many of them into sieves.
Amidst the dense gunfire, a huge number of the S-Types were directly annihilated. Just the traps took out over a thousand of the dumb S-Types.
Chen Sheng Yong surveyed the field, noting the 4,000 evolved zombies that they had killed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride: "Not bad! We managed to survive the 1st wave."
4,000 evolved zombies and 4,000 ordinary zombies were very different scenarios. A single S2 was more than 10 times deadlier than an ordinary zombie. Killing 4,000 of these evolved types was much more difficult than taking down 4,000 ordinary zombies.
"Not good!" Chen Sheng Yong's face suddenly turned pale.
Everyone looked up, only to see the terrifying figures of the L4 towering in the distance, running over.
The L4s possess a speed that was 4 times that of an ordinary person, but because their bodies were so much more bulkier, each step was easily 3 times that of a person. If the L4s were to charge with full speed, they could easily exceed a person by 12 times. This was a terrifying speed. It was equivalent to having 10 tanks charging over.
Chen Sheng Yong immediately screamed: "Fire the cannons!! Fire!! Blast those fuckers with all we've got!!"
The Lang Son 3rd Battalion immediately began firing like crazy, as their heavy artillery was focused on that 10 L4s. They only had about 40 cannons, and all of them, couple with their IFVs, were focusing their fire on the 10 L4s.

Under that dense barrage of heavy artillery, the 10 L4s were hit by rounds constantly. Any point of impact would result in a gaping hole, but they were insufficient to blast the L4s into pieces. As for the resulting shrapnel or shockwave, they could not affect them at all.
The IFV was firing the 25mm gatling gun, but all the bullets did was to leaving white marks on the terrifying defense of the L4s, not penetrating their bodies at all.
The 10 L4s and 100 L3s charged through the volley of fire and only 30-plus L3s were blasted to pieces. The rest continued on their charge towards Chen Sheng Yong.
Especially the L4s, a few had numerous wounds from the various heavy fire, yet they were charging like it was nothing. With each kick of their feet, the steel wires and meshes would be dragged up. They then used their hands to tear holes in the steel fences. With each blow of their fists, the huge road barriers would be destroyed into dust. Every single fortification was obliterated in their path.
"Rockets!! Fire the anti-tank rockets at them!!" Chen Sheng Yong shouted loudly. Facing this freaks that seem invulnerable to so many things, the only measure left to them were the anti-tanks rockets.
Originally, the Lang Son 3rd Battalion was not a stable force, and would not have been given any cannons. However, Yue Zhong had taken into consideration the importance of the mission at hand and had decided to arrange for them to possess 40 anti-tank cannons.
With Chen Sheng Yong's orders, the soldiers in charge of the anti-tank rockets began to deploy towards the frontlines, aiming at the L4s and firing.
A number of the rockets exploded at a few of the L4s, causing them to be blasted, as dust and debris were scattered everywhere.
As the dust settled, a number of the L4s appeared, with various huge holes in their bodies, but only 3 had their heads blown off.
The remaining 7 L4s immediately charged through the troops and unleashed carnage.
One L4 came in front of a soldier and slapped out with its hand. It was like slapping a fly, as the human soldier was flattened to a paste. It then grabbed another soldier, before throwing him into its mouth. It then chomped down and caused blood to flow out its jaws, looking extremely terrifying.
The speed of the 7 L4s was extremely fast, and the normal soldiers had no means of escaping their clutches. They could only be swatted like ants or grabbed and eaten.
Seeing the L4s which were demon-like existences, a chill came over the hearts of the soldiers. These freaks were indestructible and had monstrous strength. Nothing in their arsenal could kill them. How could they fight such monsters?
At almost an instant, their morale dipped, almost collapsing.
"Beasts! Fucking beasts!!" Chen Sheng Yong looked at those L4s and his eyes turned red, showing a hint of despair. If it were just 1 L4, he could activate the Enhancers and Evolvers of the Lang Son 3rd Battalion to join forces against it. However, since there were 7, he was at a loss.
"If only we were the main force!!" Chen Sheng Yong looked across the battlefield and watched helplessly as the L4s ravaged their way throughout the battlefield.
Yue Zhong had biases towards and against his various troops. As his most trusted force, he would naturally not be stingy with the resources. Just Hu Yi and his 1st Armored Battalion had 40 tanks and 110 IFVs. They had over 100 artillery of various kinds. The 1st Armored Battalion was almost certainly going to expand and become Yue Zhong's strongest regiment.
As for the unreliable forces of the Lang Son 3rd Battalion, they were only given ordinary rifles and had limited ammunition. In times where no battles were imminent, their troops only had refilled bullets. Only in times of war like the current situation would they be given proper ammunition and other logistics. As for heavy artillery, they truly had only a sparse number. If they had enough heavy artillery fire, they would be able to take on the L4s.
With the L4s leading the charge of the zombies, the soldiers at the frontlines were thoroughly crushed. The soldiers were retreating frantically. The rest of the troops were also feeling nervous and fearful.
"We're finished! We're finished!" Chen Sheng Yong looked at his broken troops and thought silently to himself in despair.
The fearsome L4s had torn the defenses of the Lang Son 3rd Battalion apart like it was nothing. The rest of the zombies were following behind. The moment they breached the base, the troops would have no means to resist at all. Without any fortifications or defenses, a single S2 or L2 could dispatch 10 ordinary soldiers with ease.
Right as Chen Sheng Yong felt that there was no more hope, an assault helicopter appeared in the distance, roaring over. A Devil Flame Spear shot down like judgment from heaven, piercing the head of one L4, combusting immediately, turning the L4 into a headless corpse.
The headless corpse of the L4 fell back slowly like a toppled giant.
Yue Zhong eyed the rest of the tank-like L4s and immediately conjured a few Devil Flame Spears in succession, throwing them quickly. The Devil Flame Spears shot towards the L4s, combusting upon impact.
"That's Yue Zhong?!" Chen Sheng Yong eyed the assault helicopter and his heart was filled with shock. Having crossed arms with the L4s, he knew of their terrifying nature. Seeing how easy it had been for Yue Zhong to take them down, the shock and respect for Yue Zhong increased another notch.
"Yes!!!"
"Fuck yea!!"
When they saw Yue Zhong take down the 7 L4s, all the soldiers immediately roared out in joy. The invincible demon-like existences had met their ends at Yue Zhong's hands, and their morale instantly shot up.
Cheng Sheng Yong immediately gave an order the moment the L4s were taken down: "Relay my orders, 9th Company to launch counter-attack!"
The 9th Company consisted of the Vietnamese experts under Chen Sheng Yong and had been his trump card. Now that Yue Zhong had personally entered the fray, he had to risk his all as well.
Under Chen Sheng Yong's orders, a Vietnamese Evolver roared out in battlelust, leading his team of over 50 Enhancers towards the evolved zombies. Their aim was to clean up those terrifying L2s and L3s, not allowing them to wreck any more havoc to the fortifications.
Having expended a total of 140 Spirit and 50 Stamina to kill those L4s, Yue Zhong had truly exceeded himself as compared to when he killed the Z2 on Bin Qi City. The effect was less as well, since he burned the L4s to death back then, whereas he had opted to decimate the L4s in one shot. The level of difficulty between both was truly incomparable.
However, in doing so, it had propelled his undefeatable image in the hearts of the Lang Son 3rd Battalion, as well raised their morale again. The soldiers were once again filled with fighting spirit and would not break down.
"Where the hell is the Z-type?" Yue Zhong surveyed the scene from the skies, trying to locate the Z-type.
If it managed to escape, and gather the huge horde from a distance, it would become a nightmare for Yue Zhong. Although this battle was a victory for Yue Zhong, his forces had expended plenty of ammunition. In the short term, it would be hard for him to contend against another major horde.
After observing the scene below for a while, he quickly found 5 L4s and a 100 L3s huddled together. Especially in the midst of such a horde, the bulky L4s that were the size of houses were extremely obvious.
"Attack that side!!" When Yue Zhong discovered that group, he immediately ordered the pilot.
The assault helicopter immediately fired numerous rockets towards the 5 L4s. At the same time, the heavy machine began firing wildly towards the group of zombies.
Hong! Hong!
Wherever the rockets blasted on the L4s, they would result in huge bloody wounds. However, even with that bombardment, only 1 L4 had suffered a headshot. The rest were injured, but not dead.
However, the attack served to frighten the Z-type, as the remaining L4s immediately separated and ran in 4 different directions.
Yue Zhong saw this and his eyes flashing with a strong killing intent: "Splitting up! This Z-type has already evolved to such a level of intelligence? I cannot let it escape! We must kill it!!"
There were over 40 million zombies in Guang Xi. Even with Yue Zhong and Du Shan Xiong's past efforts, the total number of zombies killed were about 3 million. If such an intelligent Z-type were to escape, it would become a disaster for humanity.
Yue Zhong unleashed a piercing howl towards the skies and Type 3 Lightning appeared in the distance. It brought 300 of its little kin, engaging the evolved zombies. To those Mutant Beasts, evolved zombies were a special treat. Although they couldn't compare with gobbling nuclei, swallowing evolved zombies would allow them to evolve as well.
Yue Zhong eyed the horde below and waved his hands. 2 huge flaming tornadoes appeared and shot towards 2 of the L4s. The moment they landed, the 2 L4s evaded to one side, knocking into the other zombies before they escaped towards the distance.
"That's not it!" Yue Zhong waved his hands again, sending another 2 flaming tornadoes towards the remaining 2 L4s.
One of them immediately tried to run, while the other continued in its path, but several S-Types leaped up to take the blow. All of them were instantly incinerated.

"It's that one!!" Yue Zhong's eyes brightened when he saw countless zombies jumping to block all of the attacks with their bodies. He ordered: "Fly there!"
Following his order, the assault helicopter flew towards the L4.
At this time, all of a sudden, a thousand L2s lifted up H1s.
"Pull up! Pull up!" A chill came over Yue Zhong's heart and he roared. The pilot also frantically pulled the controls, taking the assault helicopter higher.
The next moment, a thousand fireballs came soaring through the air, many of which hit empty air. However, 1 managed to blast the tail of the helicopter, causing a huge hole. The entire helicopter began to plunge.
The assault helicopter was lacking in defense when compared to the main forces of the Eurocopters. If it were one of them, it wouldn't have been damaged so badly by the H1's shot. Of course, if it had been the advanced Thunder Fighter, there wouldn't have been so much of a sweat.
Yue Zhong activated his Bone Encompassing Armor and grabbed the pilot, before leaping out of the helicopter.
The assault helicopter plunged towards the ground, exploding into a huge fireball.
While in mid-air, Yue Zhong activated his Gravity Manipulation, decreasing his weight by half. At the same time, he sent out a sharp bone spike towards the earth.
With a thought, he shot out more spikes one after another, moving towards the fleeing L4. The horde was now densely packed. If Yue Zhong landed in their midst, even he would find it hard to extract himself out of that situation.
Yue Zhong's speed was extremely quick, even as the zombies tried to grab his spikes, they barely managed to scrape them. In a few breaths, he had managed to chase up to a distance of 50m away from the L4.
A bright flash of fire appeared in Yue Zhong's right hand, as a Devil Flame Spear formed. He flung it out with force, and the Devil Flame Spear turned into a flash of light as it shot towards the head of the L4, exploding upon impact.
The headless corpse of the L4 crashed towards the ground. Its chest suddenly tore open, and the Z2 hidden within swiftly leaped out.
The moment the Z2 got out from the L4's body, an S4 pounced over and hugged the Z2 before making a mad dash for the distance.
The S4's speed was even faster than Type 2 Lightning, reaching almost 30 times the speed of a normal person. It was lightning-quick and had almost no equal.
"Seems like I can't capture it alive!" Yue Zhong aimed for the head of the Z2 and frowned. He originally wanted to capture it and try to gather the remaining zombies in hopes to eliminate them once and for all.
Yue Zhong waved his hand and a terrifying flaming tornado zipped towards the Z2, incinerating all the zombies in the way.
In front of the Second Order Devil Flame, a huge number of zombies were instantly scorched to a crisp. The Z2 screamed out once, before it was also consumed by the Devil Flame, leaving nothing but ashes behind.
With the death of the Z2, the groups of the zombies began to break apart, dispersing and scattering. The evolved zombies suddenly lacked directions. Some remained still, while the others quickly charged towards the Lang Son 3rd Battalion. The zombies were thrown into a state of chaos.
The 400,000 zombies that had been slowly gathering towards the direction of Heshan also began to disperse in various directions.
From what seemed to be a hopeless situation that turned into a favorable one, the Lang Son 3rd Battalion soldiers had managed to stop the assault of the evolved zombies. They began to launch their counter attacks.
Without a leader to direct them, the tens of thousands of evolved zombies mostly stayed where they were, staring blankly at space. There were some who were trampled by their escaping companions.
When Yue Zhong saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He supported the pilot of the helicopter as they slowly landed within the camp of the Lang Son 3rd Battalion.
The pilot looked at Yue Zhong with gratitude and said: "Many thanks to Leader for saving my life! I, Wang He, will never forget this!"
Yue Zhong patted his shoulder and chuckled: "Continue to work hard! Go and rest for now!"
Every single pilot was a valuable asset to Yue Zhong. They were even more precious than gold. There were only 12 of such pilots within his troops.
Compared to normal people, people like Wang He are easier to be trained to operate the Thunder Fighters. The moment Yue Zhong gained those Thunder Fighters, he would possess yet another powerful trump card.
Wang He nodded silently and swore to do his utmost for Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong then went to the front lines. Observing the hordes of zombies being torn and ripped apart by his side's weapons and soldiers, he knew that the outcome had been decided.
However, Yue Zhong was very clear that after the 2 battles at Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou, his troops had been pushed to their limits. They could not continue to fight horde after horde. The first reason was because of their exhaustion, and the other was because these 2 battles had consumed 60% of his ammunition. Without ammunition, it would be impossible for his troops to contend against a horde of a million zombies. Even if they won, it would be at a terrible cost.
The intense battle continued until the 2nd day.
By then, Hu Yi had led the 1st, 4th and 7th Battalions to provide reinforcements. The battle lasted for an entire week before they finally eradicated the remaining tens of thousands of zombies.
They didn't use their heavy artillery, and in order to prevent as many casualties as possible and allow more troops to be enhanced, the flow of the battle progressed slowly.
However, since they made use of those tens of thousands of zombies, many of the soldiers had become Enhancers, and they gained decent levels as well. The majority of them reached level 10 or higher. After all, the zombies that had remained behind were at the very least evolved zombies of Level 10 and above.
After both Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou fell into Yue Zhong's hands, the entire Gui Ning City went into an uproar, as celebrations broke out everywhere. The respect and veneration towards Yue Zhong reached an all-time high.
Yue Zhong began moving batches of survivors over to Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou. In Yan Zhou alone, Yue Zhong had arranged for over 300,000 survivors to settle in. All the slaves and people from the Scum Battalion were deployed at Yan Zhou as well. Many of the survivors were put to work the moment they settled in.
At the same time, with Liu Xiao Cha as a weather forecast, Yue Zhong arranged for various Enhancer teams to begin sweeping the regions around Yan Zhou, Bin Qi City and Gui Ning City for resources and to clear out the remaining zombies.
On top of all that, Yue Zhong went to reorganize his troops again.
The 1st to 8th Battalion in Gui Ning City formed Guang Xi's 1st Regiment, and its Regiment Commander was Hu Yi. The 9th to the 16th Battalion, of which some were new ones that were recently established, became Guang Xi's 2nd Regiment with Wei Ning Guo as its Regiment Commander. Other than the 1st and 2nd Regiment, the Lang Son 3rd Battalion that had accumulated great merit in the operation this time were reformed into the Lang Son 3rd Brigade, with a whole group of Chinese soldiers mixed in.
After reorganizing, the troops began their training again. At the same time, companies would be sent out in waves and shifts on top of their training to battle zombies. This was to raise their combat strength.
As for the government, Yue Zhong didn't forget it as well. He had only been an ordinary university student prior to the apocalypse and did not have any ideas with regards to governance. He chose the previous mayor of Gui Ning City, Shen Ying to handle the government.
Many factions that overthrew the ruling powers would usually retain a few of the original members, one of the reasons was that these factions usually had no capable governing officers. Yue Zhong was the same, however, since he had faced such a situation in Long Hai City before, it was not a huge problem.
Since he had observed for a long while, Yue Zhong discovered that Shen Ying was actually a capable officer. He was usually low-key and strict on his kids. He also had experience in governing. Due to this, Yue Zhong reinstated him as the mayor and the main head of the cabinet, while getting Chen Yao to learn beside him.
At the end of the day, Yue Zhong had many experts that could fight and kill, but he really lacked talents in governance and leadership. Although Chen Yao was a woman, she was equally capable in both brains and brawn and was extremely outstanding. Plus, she had her fair share of leadership in Vietnam and was of the few people that Yue Zhong trusted.
Under his rule, regardless of gender, as long as the person was capable, he would not hesitate to utilize them.
Under his rule, Bin Qi City, Gui Ning City and Yan Zhou began to bustle with life. Survivors in the city began to regain a glow in their faces, and their expressions were once again filled with hope.
Inside one of the largest military factories in Yan Zhou, Yue Zhong was walking around as Xin Jia Rou and Ji Qing Wu followed beside him as they conducted their inspection.
"Are you guys able to manufacture large transport carriers?" After listening to the report of the manager Lei Wang, Yue Zhong immediately asked.
Lei Wang was the chief engineer in one of Yan Zhou's factories prior to the apocalypse. He had been found in a villa's basement when Yue Zhong's army recovered Yan Zhou. When the troops had found him, he was almost starving to death. Even now, he still had a sallow look, as though the wind could topple him at any moment.
When he heard Yue Zhong's question, Lei Wang did not dare tarry with his answer, immediately replying: "We can't!! It's impossible. We lack the technology here. Even before the apocalypse, manufacturing any large carrier would be tough. Even just manufacturing the engine would not be possible."
Yue Zhong frowned when he heard it.

Chapter 530 – Evolving Liquid!

Without any large transport carriers, Yue Zhong would lack the means to deploy his troops throughout the country.
The speed of advance of the Kingdom of God was extremely fast, chasing up to before the apocalypse. It was mainly due to them possessing a large number of aerial transport and assault helicopters. With those, they could launch devastating attacks in all corners of the earth to obtain even more designs.
This time, if it wasn't for Yue Zhong's interference, the laser gun designs would have landed in the hands of the Kingdom of God, and they would be able to quickly manufacture laser guns, raising the overall might of their troops.
Yue Zhong also hoped to quickly produce huge transport aircrafts so that he could deploy his forces. After all, it was hard to send aid anywhere he wanted when there were zombies everywhere.
Yue Zhong kept his gaze fixed on Lei Wang and asked: "If we had to manufacture those large transport aircrafts, how many years would it take?"
Lei Wang hesitated a while before gritting his teeth and replied: "Leader, constructing an aircraft would require the support of a few key industrial sectors. It's not a simple matter with Yan Zhou's current state and technology. It would take at least 15 years.
When Yue Zhong heard that, he immediately dropped his hopes of constructing large aircrafts in Yan Zhou. 15 years of time, even the daylily would be cold, and his troops might already reach the coastal area.
Yue Zhong continued to ask: "What about unmanned drones?"
In the operation to conquer Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou, the UAVs had played a vital role and were also very important with its non-combat functions.
Lei Wang pondered a while before replying carefully: "Gui Xi City has better facilities and equipment to build aerial technology compared to our Yan Zhou's facilities. We would need their equipment to begin work, otherwise, it would incredibly hard for us here at Yan Zhou."
It was Yue Zhong's turn to sink into his thoughts before he pulled out his laser gun design and handed it to Lei Wang: "What about this?"
The moment Lei Wang received the designs, the information entered his brain, giving him the knowledge on its construction.
"Good stuff! If I had this before the apocalypse, I would have been rich!" Lei Wang gripped the design tightly in his hands, his eyes flashing with a look of excitement then pity. He was in the defense research sector and knew of the value of this laser gun design. It was something that could easily cause all current technology to be obsolete.
Yue Zhong looked at Lei Wang and frowned slightly before asking: "Is it possible?"
Lei Wang shook his head dejectedly: "No Leader, many of the components are not what Yan Zhou is capable of producing. Only the eastern or southern cities along the sea are capable of it. Only the main capitals possess the necessary tools, know-hows, and manufacturing lines. However, with this design, it's not impossible to use some replacement parts so we should be able to produce one or 2."
Yue Zhong then took out the Nucleus Energy Converter diagram and handed it to Lei Wang: "Ok, this one here, see if it's doable?"
"This!" When Lei Wang received the blueprint of the Nucleus Energy Converter, his face instantly changed. Every normal person knew how important energy was to a country, or even to an entire race. The USA had waged wars in the Middle East purely because of oil as an energy resource.
If this Nucleus Energy Converter could be produced, then Yue Zhong's establishment would possess a clean and renewable energy source. When coupled with the laser gun, it would raise the lethality of the laser guns and extend combat duration.
Lei Wang scrutinized the design carefully, obtaining some important information before saying: "Leader, if I can run some tests, I have confidence that I will be able to produce a prototype within a year. If you need large-scale production, I'm afraid that it would take 3 years. After all, we're lacking talents and are sort of starting from scratch here. Even if we had more details, it would still be hard."
Yue Zhong looked at Lei Wang indifferently and spoke: "This matter will be handled by you. Organize a team to begin your research, if you need people, I'll provide them. The same goes for resources. However, this must be kept confidential. You guys will go to the underground city and set up a lab there, understand?"
"Yes!" Lei Wang replied with respect, he knew the importance of the 2 designs, and that once they became a reality, Yue Zhong's faction would leap in strength.
With a single order from Yue Zhong, a highly secretive lab was constructed in the underground city. They began to gather specific talents. Although the lab could not compare with the Kingdom of God's, it was still highly advanced, and with the production of the 2 designs, the lab would gain an increase in research and development as well.
As the manager in charge of the lab, Lei Wang was naturally excited, and he could guess Yue Zhong's objectives and decided to give a suggestion: "Leader, although we can't produce the aircraft carriers yet, we still have the railroads. Should you decide to travel far, we can definitely station troops throughout Guang Xi with the help of the railroads."
When Yue Zhong heard it, his eyes lit up: "Right! The railroads!"
Yue Zhong had always been following the major highways and roads to travel towards cities. With Lei Wang's reminder, he remembered that the whole country was accessible by railroad.
If they gained control of the railroads, Yue Zhong could reach any corner of the country. He could then station his troops and advance from there.
Because of the existence of these railroads, China had not been as excited about the development of air travel. In times of peace, it was more than enough to use their rails for troops and resources to be transported anywhere that has a railroad and station.
As for the trains, since Gui Ning City, Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou were all in Yue Zhong's hands, he could utilize them anytime.
"But, there's still the possibility that the railroads were destroyed. That would be troublesome." Yue Zhong noticed the issue almost instantly.
Prior to the apocalypse, the railroads were indeed useful and could reach all parts of the country. However, because of the apocalypse, there might be some major tunnels or roads that were damaged, and it would pose a problem.
The rails break down easily, but building them was difficult.
Using the rails to get to the nearby cities would be easy, but to reach the coastal areas, if they were not careful, the troops would be lost to the tracks.
However, with Lei Wang's reminder, Yue Zhong could pour some attention to deploying some troops with the trains to protect the tracks around Gui Ning City, Bin Qi City and Yan Zhou.
If they could protect these vital channels, then his troops would be able to relocate easily between the 3 cities, using them as a centre point for branching outwards and attacking.
"Leader, the Snow Palace escaped." Right as Yue Zhong was prepping his troops to swallow the Snow Palace, he received the sudden news.
Yue Zhong frowned: "When was this? Which direction did they escape to?"
The officer immediately replied: "3 days ago, they made their way towards He Xi City."
"They're smart, escaping so early." Yue Zhong chuckled.
His next target would have He Xi City anyway, so he decided to allow them the head start for now.
There was also a huge horde over at He Xi City, and if the Snow Palace ran there, they would have to clear those zombies. Their existence would help Yue Zhong attract the attention of the zombies first, thus Yue Zhong decided not to make things difficult for them for now.
Otherwise, it would just take an elite infantry brigade to eliminate the Snow Palace entirely. However, due to the Palace Master Shangguan Bing Xue being a powerful expert herself, he might lose a number of his troops.
"I've produced Ou Ming Ver. 2 Evolving Liquid. Come and get it."
When Yue Zhong was busy with settling the affairs of Yan Zhou, Bin Qi City and Gui Ning City, he received news from Ou Ming in Long An County.
Yue Zhong did not say another word and immediately got on his Swift Shadow Bike and rode straight for Long An County, all the way to Ou Ming's research lab.
The moment Yue Zhong entered the lab, he saw numerous scientists scurrying around conducting various experiments. Compared to the last time he was here, the whole placed looked bigger, more spacious, and it was bustling with more people and equipment.
Yue Zhong was very clear on how talented Ou Ming was, and hence he had provided a huge amount of resources for him.
The moment he saw Yue Zhong, Ou Ming held up a vial: "You're here. This is Ou Ming Ver 2. Evolving Liquid. Upon consuming it, Enhancers with a total attribute points of less than 120 would gain 5 in all 6 attributes. Enhancers with more than 120 points would gain 1 in all attributes. It is only effective once. Further consumption would have no reaction. The main ingredient is the Snake Birth Fruit and the sap from the Green Spirit Vine plant. The research is complete, and with the ingredients, we can begin mass production."
"Truly a good item!" Yue Zhong eyed the vial and his eyes lit up. With this liquid, he could forcefully increase the strength of his soldiers. Of course, the effect of the Ver 1. Evolving Liquid was better, but with the core ingredient being the brain of a Type 3 Mutant Beast, it was a problem to manufacture.

"Anything else?" Yue Zhong kept the vial in his storage ring, before asking Ou Ming. He was very certain that this genius in front of him had more surprises in store.
Ou Ming revealed a proud smile as he handed a green vial: "This is my new creation: the Ou Ming Ver. 3 Evolving Liquid. Administering this will cause a normal person to instantly become an Evolver. The main component is still the Snake Birth Fruit, but one single pink fruit mixed with other Mutant Plants' sap can produce 20 such vials.
"Amazing!!" When Yue Zhong heard Ou Ming's words, his eyes lit up and he could not help but praise Ou Ming.
Yue Zhong had established communications with Long Hai City for some time. When he left, the Snake Birth Fruit Tree had been consuming a large number of zombie corpses, and plenty flowers had already born fruit. Over a hundred green Snake Birth Fruits had also mutated to the pink variant.
The impact of this Ver 3 Evolving Liquid would play a huge part in strengthening the troops. As long as Yue Zhong could transport the 100 pink fruits over, there would be 2,000 such vials, allowing 2,000 people to become Evolvers.
Evolvers were not invincible, but compared to Enhancers, they had large advantages. Many Enhancers hoped to become Evolvers.
Ou Ming continued excitedly: "Furthermore, I've discovered that if a naturally awakened Evolver were to consume the Snake Birth Fruit, it would awaken a 2nd evolved attribute, gaining a huge boost. Naturally awakened Evolvers are truly the favored of the heavens."
"Oh!" Yue Zhong's heart skipped a beat. If this was the case, then he could make use of the fruit to give rise to more dual-attribute Evolvers.
The occurrence of natural Evolvers was extremely rare, a mere 1 in 10,000. Even Yue Zhong was not a natural Evolver. Those who awakened naturally were truly favored by the heavens and they would become good at what they do easily. They also had more potential to evolve compared to others.
Ou Ming took out a gold case and handed it to Yue Zhong: "These are 500 vials of the Ver 3. Enough to produce 500 Evolvers.
This time, when Ji Qing Wu and her party came, they had brought 25 Snake Birth Fruits, fully utilized in Ou Ming's research. In the end, he produced 500 such vials.
Yue Zhong's mood was greatly elevated, and he viewed Ou Ming more favorably: "Great! Ou Ming, you have done well this time. What would you like?"
Ou Ming's face flashed with a feverish passion: "I need the corpse of a Type 3 Mutant Beast, fresh blood, blood essence, brains. The bodies of those new L4s, L3s, and Devourers as well. The best would be to include new or recent samples of any Mutant Plants, for our lab to have priority over them.
Since Yue Zhong had established 3 major bases, he naturally had research labs in all 3 as well. Each of these labs was running their own research into the Mutant Plants, Mutant Beasts, and zombies. Ou Ming was expressly requesting for first priority over the samples.
Yue Zhong nodded and promised: "Fine!"
Ou Ming had shown ample results to Yue Zhong, he naturally would adhere to this talent's requests.
Ou Ming regained his calm and waved Yue Zhong away somewhat impatiently: "Alright! You can go now. I still have experiments to get back to."
Yue Zhong was speechless towards Ou Ming's attitude. As the leader of Gui Ning City, Yan Zhou, and Bin Qi City, many people would clamor to speak to him. Ou Ming was actually disinterested. He was not to be blamed anyway since he was like this from the start.
Before the apocalypse, people of the research world viewed their field as the utmost priority, and most were crude or blunt. If it wasn't for the right backer, even with his talents, Ou Ming might not have been able to exercise his abilities, due to his poor communication style.
Yue Zhong chuckled lightly and shook his head before leaving.
Even with the weather forecast Liu Xiao Cha, after going through intense battles, Yue Zhong's army could not afford to launch another expansion mission.
Hence, over at the Guang Xi region, Yue Zhong tried to ramp up the production of ammunition, while deploying small troops out to clear the zombies in the surrounding areas.
Yue Zhong had only managed to deal with the zombies in those 3 cities, but in truth, there were over 4 million zombies still scattered around the 3 cities in the various settlements.
At the same time, after Yue Zhong had obtained the Ver. 3 Evolving Liquid, he could focus on establishing a form of economy and currency like that of Long Hai City. A dollar would be able to exchange for 1 jin of maize. Since he had conquered the 3 cities, Yue Zhong had obtained a huge amount of resources. He could take them out to sell, and drive the economy again.
Killing an ordinary zombie and bringing the corpse back to exchange gets one 1 dollar. Killing a Type 1 zombie would net 50 dollars. Type 2 zombies went for 500 dollars and Type 3 zombies were at 5,000 dollars. The exchange rate for a Type 4 zombie was 50,000 dollars.
The exchange rate for nucleus went for the following: Ordinary at 10 dollars. Type 2 at 1,000 dollars, Type 3 at 100,000 dollars, Type 4 at 1 million dollars. Type 5 Nuclei were worth a 10 million dollars.
Furthermore, Ou Ming Ver. 2 and Ver. 3 Evolving Liquids and Type 3 Mutant Beasts packed into cans were put up for sale. A Ver. 2 would require 500,000 dollars, and a Ver.3 required 10 million dollars. Type 3 Mutant Beast meat went for 1 million a can.
When the survivors in Yue Zhong's cities saw the items placed for sale, everyone went crazy. A few teams were formed, intending to take risks. Many became hunters, killing zombies and Mutants Beasts in exchange for cash.
What were Evolvers after all? They were the favored of the heavens and were experts at the pinnacle. The moment one became an Evolver, as long as the person wasn't trash, and the evolved attribute wasn't weak, it would be harder for them to lose in their fights. Furthermore, the person could learn a new skill during evolution and gained a huge amount of enhancements to their constitutions. Everyone wanted to become an Evolver, transforming into the doted children of the heavens.
Under the enticement of the prices, the various hunting teams went on a rampage, clearing plenty of zombies and Mutant Beasts, bringing the corpses back. This ensured a steady stream of nuclei and corpses landing in Yue Zhong's hands.
The Central Dollars that Yue Zhong issued soon became the recognized currency that everyone used. Military and government personnel also stopped doing barter trades and began dealing in the Central Dollar.
The Guang Xi region could be said to have finally embarked on some sign of society again. The bartering stage had been popular because nobody could trust the previous forms of government until Yue Zhong came into the picture.
If it had been earlier, not many would have accepted the new currency. People would just take it as toilet paper. However, since he had already conquered 3 cities, and obtained a huge amount of resources, his reputation and prestige were at an all-time high. Coupled with the allure of the Ver. 2 and Ver. 3 Evolving Liquids as well as Type 3 Beast Meat being priced with the currency, everyone would definitely take up the currency.
There was an additional point, which was that compared to barter, the survivors were more used to having a fixed price on items. Due to circumstances, they had no choice but to barter. Who would use the useless money from prior to the apocalypse anyway?
After issuing the currency and having stabilized the situation in Guang Xi, the region began to recover swiftly. The survivors were not as hopeless as before, and their eyes were filled with an expectant look for the future.
Yue Zhong continued to be at Guang Xi for a while longer, ensuring that things were truly in order, before taking a company of elite soldiers from the 2nd Brigade as they boarded the train back to Long Hai City.
On the rail tracks, a train chugged along, within, many soldiers dressed in the [Raven] combat uniform and Type 2 Mutant Beast hides sat.
At the front carriage, Yue Zhong, Ji Qing Wu, and Yao Yao were together.
Yao Yao was holding a handheld device as she played games, while Ji Qing Wu was reading a book.
Traveling on the tracks was risky, with unknown dangers, hence the train could only proceed at 20km/hour. There was the danger of getting derailed. Furthermore, there might be Mutant Beasts and high-level zombies along the way. It was a sort of exploration for Yue Zhong, to determine the potential problems.
Yue Zhong eyed Ji Qing Wu reading her book quietly, and her quiet but elegant aura caused a stir in his heart: "If I had known, I would have brought Yu Xin out."
For safety's sake, the speed of 20km/hour was a sort of torture to people like Yue Zhong who could not sit still. Plus, there was no form of entertainment on the train, and he was regretting not bringing Xin Jia Rou or Ning Yu Xin and the rest.
Ji Qing Wu was extremely beautiful, but she and Yue Zhong had not gotten past that barrier, and he could only look at this absolute beauty in front of him but not being able to do anything.
After hesitating, Yue Zhong took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "What're you reading?"
A slight smile appeared on Ji Qing Wu's lips as she replied: "Qiong Yao's Plum Blossom Scar".

Chapter 532 – Ji Qing Wu Heavily Injured!
Translated by: Kun

Yue Zhong hardened his skin and continued to chat: "Plum Blossom Scar? An interesting novel."
Truthfully, Yue Zhong had never even seen the book nor read romance novels. Compared to reading, he would rather kill zombies and Mutant Beasts.
Ji Qing Wu laughed coquettishly, as she moved her hand away from the cover, revealing the name: "I'm just kidding, it's On War."
Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief. He had seen the book a few times before. Like this, at least he could have some topics to talk about. If it were some romance novel, then he would be grasping at straws.
All of a sudden, the train shuddered, and the sharp sound of brakes being slammed sounded. The train came to a halt.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he shot to the front of the train.
Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao had also moved at the first moment, following closely behind Yue Zhong.
"What happened?" Yue Zhong immediately asked when he came to the carriage.
"Leader, there's a monster in front." The driver pointed and told Yue Zhong.
In front, about 200 metres away from the tracks, there was a group of Type 2 Ferocious Apes charging over, each of them towering at 4m.
A herd of Mutant Wild Boars and Mutant Cows were being chased by the Type 2 Ferocious Apes.
As those beasts were running, the tracks beneath their feets were twisted. They could no longer support the train on its journey.
Yue Zhong watched on helplessly, and sighed: "As expected, if we want to make use of the tracks, we have to clear the entire region of beasts and zombies, otherwise it will be impossible."
The tracks were truly convenient, but likewise, they were vulnerable and susceptible to damages. Yue Zhong would have to arrange for troops to protect the tracks to ensure the continued usage.
"Get down, and get rid of them." Yue Zhong eyed those Type 2 Mutant Beasts and ordered.
Under his orders, the squad of elite soldiers immediately got off and began to launch an assault towards the Mutant Wild Boars, Mutant Cows, and Type 2 Ferocious Apes.
This squad of soldiers were already all Evolvers, and each of them were at least above Level 40. Their combat prowess was strong.
A bright flash appeared from the hands of one of the soldiers, and he waved. A huge blade made out of wind appeared and sliced through the Mutant Beast horde, before lunging for one of the Type 2 Ferocious Ape's head, slicing it off in a huge shower of blade.
One of the soldier wielded a Bronze Bow, and with a radiating light from his hands, a number of bone arrows shot towards the horde of Mutant Beasts, piercing the beasts one by one.
Another soldier grabbed his huge mace with a savage expression and charged into the midst of the Mutant Beasts. He swung wildly and pummeling the heads of the Mutant Beasts in a cruel fashion.
Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao also shot forwards, their aim being the group of Type 2 Ferocious Apes.
This time, there were about 10 Type 2 Ferocious Apes, and to Ji Qing Wu and Yao Yao who were high level Enhancers, only these Type 2 Mutant Beasts could provide them with enough experience.
Yue Zhong stood one side and watched as his subordinates slaughtered the Mutant Beasts, without indication of lending a helping hand.
These Mutant Beasts were too low leveled, Yue Zhong would not gain anything from killing them, hence he left them for his subordinates, empowering them.
These soldiers under Yue Zhong were truly efficient killing machines, finishing off the Mutant Beasts in a matter of minutes.
At this time, a huge shadow loomed over in the sky, as a huge bird with a wingspan of over 80m suddenly soared down, making a grab for the little loli Yao Yao.
"Level 95 Mutant Beast: Type 4 Flame Bird. Tyrant of the skies, extremely ferocious and terrifying."
"Careful!" Yue Zhong shouted out and activated his Shadow Steps and charged towards Yao Yao's direction.
Yao Yao had just caught a glimpse of the massive claw of the Type 4 Flame Bird, when Ji Qing Wu beside her lashed out with a kick, sending Yao Yao flying back 7 to 8 metres away.
At the next moment, the sharp claws of the Flame Bird pierced the chest of Ji Qing Wu, even through the Type 2 Ferocious Ape she was fighting, before flying towards the sky.
Ji Qing Wu's face instantly turned pale, as she coughed up a large amount of blood. There was a huge bloody wound in her chest as well.
"Big Sis Qing Wu!!! No!!!!" Seeing this, Yao Yao who was kicked away immediately screamed out in a heart-wrenching manner. Her expressionless face was contorted in fear.
Yao Yao had grown close to only Ji Qing Wu, and because of this, she had joined the Special Forces. In times of peace, she and Ji Qing Wu were as close as actual sisters, and Ji Qing Wu herself watched over the growth of this little girl like an elder sister. She had also unhesitatingly sent Yao Yao out of harm's way, sacrificing herself. Yao Yao was afraid that she would lose this one person that was the closest to her and the one she looked up to the most. Even Yue Zhong who saved her could only place number 2.
"AHH YOU BEAST! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY WOMAN?!!" Yue Zhong saw Ji Qing Wu pierced with the claw of the Type 4 Flame Bird and his eyes turned bloodshot as he screamed. He immediately conjured out 2 Devil Flame jets, expending 100 Spirit and 30 Stamina. The jets propelled him like a cannon towards the body of the Type 4 Flame Bird.
At almost the same instant, Yue Zhong knocked into the body of the Type 4 Flame Bird, and he grabbed onto the feathers.
The Flame Bird flapped its wings, and it soared upwards with a terrifying gust of wind. It then shot towards the distance with a Mach 2 speed, disappearing from its original spot in a flash.
"What do we do? The leader had been brought away by the Type 4 Flame Bird!" One of the elite soldiers eyed the distance and frowned.
The captain sighed: "Quickly report to headquarters."
Yao Yao looked towards the distance and the pool of blood from Ji Qing Wu and kneeled down. She began crying profusely, as the tears flowed down her cheeks: "Wait for me Big Sis, I'll definitely come and find you! I'll find you… Yue Zhong, please, please save my sister. Please save my sister. I'll listen to you in the future!"
Yue Zhong was currently atop the body of the Flame Bird, and he was blanketed by the roaring winds. Fortunately for his 10 times strength, he held on steadfastly, otherwise he would have been blown off.
"Please don't die… Please don't die!! Heavens, as long as you're listening, save Qing Wu's life, I'll build a totem for you!" Yue Zhong continued to brave the winds as he slowly climbed downwards, praying hard for the first time.
Yue Zhong never believed in gods, only in himself. Even after he heard the voice of the one claiming to be 'God' at the start of the apocalypse, he continued to only believe in himself. Regardless of the situation, he would always find a way. However, this time he was really out of options. He could only beg in his prayers, hoping for a miracle.
The Flame Bird continued to fly through the air at its Mach 2 speed, and the opposing winds were as sharp as knives. Even with Yue Zhong's constitution, he came close to being blown off a few times. If he were to fall from such a height, only death awaits.
Yue Zhong continued to brave the winds as he climbed towards the claws. He looked at Ji Qing Wu and his eyes turned red.
In front of his eyes, Ji Qing Wu's entire chest had been penetrated, and the claw had also gone through her spine.
If it wasn't for her constitution exceeding a normal person, she would have died long ago. Even so, she was on the brink of death. Her blood continued to flow from her grievous wound, and when she saw Yue Zhong, she managed to stay awake, although her consciousness was fading.
"You…should not be…here….cough…" Ji Qing Wu's eyes flashed as she looked at Yue Zhong, barely managing a sentence before she coughed out more blood.
Tears flowed down involuntarily from Yue Zhong's eyes as he shouted out with some madness: "Don't speak! Don't speak! I want you to live! You must live on, you hear me, Ji Qing Wu?! You must not die! You cannot die! I like you, I love you!! Please, live on for me!! Please!!"
Yue Zhong had never spoken those words to any woman, and in truth, when he had first seen Ji Qing Wu, he was already enraptured by this beautiful woman who was full of confidence and grace, and her charming aura when she fought. He had always kept the feeling in his heart, and the constant flow of beautiful girls who had embraced him caused him to put the feeling aside. Until today, as he watched her about to die, he couldn't hold back anymore, and the usually fearless him began to feel afraid to the point that he was crying. Any other day, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Ji Qing Wu heard Yue Zhong's confession and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. This was what she wanted to hear the most, and it was all she needed. Her lips trembled, as though she wanted to speak.
"Don't speak!! Please, don't say anything!! Look at me! I'll definitely save you!! I'll save you!!" Yue Zhong became anxious when he saw that Ji Qing Wu was struggling to speak, and stopped her frantically while trying to climb towards her.
The Yue Zhong now did not have the bearing of a cold, ruthless tyrant, nor was he the same leader that viewed survivors like ants. He was just a pitiful person struggling to save his loved one, trying his best to snatch back the ball from the death god's court.
Since Ji Qing Wu's spine had been pierced through together with her chest, her injuries were critical. Yue Zhong was worried that she might expend her energy to speak and lose her strength to hang on.
She had a smile on her face as she watched Yue Zhong struggle to reach her. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling, and she could see that this was Yue Zhong's true feelings for her. She coughed once more, and a mouthful of blood was expelled, before her eyes started to dim, no longer seeing Yue Zhong clearly.
"Yue Zhong!! I love you! Cough!" Just as Yue Zhong reached her, he heard her using her last breath to slowly speak those words, before coughing a mouthful of blood. Her body trembled slightly, then she went limp.
"Ah!!!! Don't die!! Don't die!! Don't die!!! Please, I'm begging you!!! Open your eyes, please!! Open your eyes!!" He was about 7m away from her. He used all his strength to drag himself towards her, and fumbled with his treasures. He poured the Life-Saving Grass, Ou Ming Ver. 1, Ver. 2, Ver. 3, the 13 recently ripened Purple Jade Fruits into her mouth. Even the Type 3 Blood Essence he had been keeping was not spared.
The countless valuable treasures entered Ji Qing Wu's mouth, causing her body to shudder slightly. Her body also became less cold.
"I need to calm down!! Be calm!! I will tear this beast apart. But Qing Wu cannot remain like this. What do I do?" He heaved a slight sigh of relief when he felt her body regaining some color. However, he was still at a loss on her situation.
The injuries to Ji Qing Wu's chest and abdomen were serious, and if Yue Zhong were to suffer such injuries, it was also unknown if he would survive them or not. Ji Qing Wu's Vitality and Endurance were all vastly below Yue Zhong, surviving would truly be hard to say.
"White Bones come out!" With a thought, White Bones stepped out of the nether hole in mid air, its huge hands grabbing on to the claw of the huge bird.
"Secure her body, don't let it move about." Yue Zhong pointed at Ji Qing Wu and ordered.
White Bones immediately shot out a few bone spikes, locking Ji Qing Wu's body in place.
Yue Zhong eyed Ji Qing Wu and gritted his teeth before climbing towards the head of the Type 4 Flame Bird. If he did not kill this beast, Ji Qing Wu would definitely die. Killing it might mean only a 1 in 10 chance of survival, but at least there was a chance.
Yue Zhong climbed up along the body of the monstrous bird before he expended 100 points of Spirit to conjure a Devil Flame Spear that was 8m long.
After evolving the skill to its Second Order stage, Yue Zhong's expenditure to form a spear shot up from 50 to 100 points. However, this new spear that required 100 points to prepare was at least 6 times mightier than the previous one.
The Type 4 Flame Bird seemed to have detected Yue Zhong's strong killing intent. It twisted its body in a bid to peck at him. The blow almost caused him to lose his grip. Yue Zhong grabbed the back of the Flame Bird tightly, and the Devil Flame Spear in his hands became a shooting star as it shot towards the head of the Flame Bird.
The resulting explosion was extremely gruesome. With such a terrifying strength of the Devil Flame, the combustion blasted a huge hole in the head of the Flame Bird, incinerating at least half its brains.
The Flame Bird might be a Type 4 Mutant Beast, but its strength laid in its Mach 2 speed. With that alone, as long as it managed to launch an attack, even Yue Zhong would be heavily injured. However, its defense was not as tough, and it was at most capable of defending against 12.7mm rounds.
"Congratulations on achieving Level 77…."
"Congratulations on achieving Level 78, you've gained 2 attribute points to be allocated."
The moment the Flame Bird's head was blasted by Yue Zhong, a huge orb of experience flowed into his body, causing him to instantly shoot up 2 levels until he reached Level 78.
At the same time, a Blue Treasure Box dropped out and fell downward.
Before it could plunge any further, White Bones fired out a small bone net to retrieve the Blue Treasure Box.
With the death of the Flame Bird, its massive body began to plunge towards the earth as well.
"Remove her from the claw! Bring her to me!" Yue Zhong ordered White Bones.
White Bones quickly removed Ji Qing Wu's body from the claw, and at that moment a large amount of blood and some fleshy parts flowed out.
White Bones didn't seem to notice and directly extended out its bone spike to deliver her to Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong had already worn a parachute, and he grabbed Ji Qing Wu, waving his right hand and a transparent silk shot out, sticking to the body of Type 4 Flame Bird.
Yue Zhong hugged Ji Qing Wu tightly, as he gazed downwards with a calm look. When there was a distance of about 1.5km from the ground, he opened the parachute. At the same time, he activated the Gravity Manipulation, lowering the weight of himself and Ji Qing Wu by half.
The body of the Flame Bird plummet straight down, exploding in bits and pieces upon impact.
"This is an island?" Yue Zhong hugged Ji Qing Wu as he surveyed the surroundings, only to discover that the land he was about to land on was only about 1km wide, and there didn't seem to be any greenery. It was as though it was like a coral reef in the middle of a sea.
Yue Zhong carried Ji Qing Wu as they landed gently on the island. He retrieved a blanket and placed Ji Qing Wu on it. Seeing the huge wound in her chest, he felt slightly helpless.
Although she had already taken in all those precious medicines and enhancements, her eyes were shut tight, and she was still in her coma.
"What should I do? Oh right! There's still that!!" As he was about to wring his hands in exasperation, he remembered the corpse of the Type 4 Flame Bird. He went over and retrieved the nuclei that looked like a ball of flame condensed into a physical form, as well as the blood essence, that was fiery to the touch as well.
He came to Ji Qing Wu's side, and with the extremely priceless Type 4 Flame Bird Blood Essence in his mouth, he bit it and broke it apart, before bringing his lips to hers. He then guided the flow of the energy towards her chest.
The blood essence from a Type 4 Mutant Beast was not ordinary, the moment it entered abdomen, it transformed into a warm energy source that began to nourish her body.
Nourished by the blood essence, Ji Qing Wu's wounds stopped bleeding. However, the gaping hole and shredded organs were not something that could just repair instantly. These were wounds beyond the help of the blood essence.
A blood essence could enhance a person's constitution and Vitality, but it could not regenerate body parts.
"What can I do!? Oh right! There's still that!! Who knows, there might be something useful!" Yue Zhong eyed Ji Qing Wu's pained expression and began to panic again, before he opened up the Blue Treasure Box dropped by the Flame Bird. With a bright flash, a strange humanoid equipment about 2m appeared in front of it. There were strange blue lines running around the machine like veins. There was also a huge gem right in the middle.
"Level 7 Treasure: Biological Armor Type 1. A cosmic warfare battle armor, providing high defense and allows the user to fight under extreme conditions. Provides enough oxygen. Also, possesses the ability to automatically heal the user. Requires Mutant Beast Nuclei to operate."
"Level 7 Treasure! This is actually a Level 7 Treasure." Yue Zhong was momentarily stunned when he saw the Biological Armor Type 1. It was the first time he came across a Level 7 Treasure. After all, he had fought so hard and the highest grade of equipment he ever got was his trusty and useful storage ring, which was a Level 6 Treasure. This Biological Armor was actually higher by a grade, it must truly be exceptional.
Yue Zhong reached out to touch the Biological Armor, and with a thought, the front gem opened up to reveal a slot, which was meant for the nuclei of Mutant Beasts.
Yue Zhong placed the Type 4 Flame Bird Nuclei into the compartment and closed the gem cover. The entire equipment shuddered, before coming to life.
"Open up!" Yue Zhong ordered the Biological Armor.
The Biological Armor opened up and Yue Zhong carefully placed Ji Qing Wu within it.
After the lid closed, it immediately began reparation works on her body.
"Restoration in progress! Calculating… The user is currently on the brink of death, in order to fully restore the user, it would take approximately 90 Earth days. During the restoration, the armor cannot be used in combat, and it would be in a sealed state." A line of text appeared on the lid of the Biological Armor.

Chapter 534 – Type 5 Mutant Beast!
Translated by: Kun

Seeing that line of information, Yue Zhong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He then began to survey his surroundings carefully.
"The island is moving!" As he looked around, he could feel it in his bones. Countless ripples were radiating outwards from the reef-like island beneath him.
"Could this island be an actual behemoth-type Sea Mutant Beast?" Yue Zhong's heart turned cold as he looked at his feet.
"The Eyes of Perception must be targeted at a body part. To know for sure, I can only head to the edges of the island."
He pondered for a while, before heading over to the corpse of the Type 4 Mutant Flame Bird and began to cut up its body.
It was by pure luck that Yue Zhong had been able to kill such a tyrannical Type 4 Mutant Beast. If it had been a frontal clash, he would have been instantly decimated by its speed. Even the Shield of Light and the Bronze Spiritual Bell would not have been of much use.
Unfortunately for the Type 4 Mutant Flame Bird, it belonged to the low-defence category of Mutant Beasts, that was how it was finished in one blow by Yue Zhong who had been grabbing onto its body.
Yue Zhong began to let the blood out of the corpse of the Flame Bird, pouring them into large containers before keeping them inside his storage ring. He separated the blood, brain pulp, brain matter, bone marrows and anything that he could squeeze out inside his storage ring. After that, he used his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade to saw off those large talons.
The talons of the Flame Bird had easily pierced the Type 3 Mutant Beast Hide on Ji Qing Wu's body. That was actually incredible, considering that not even cannons can damage the hides of Type 3 Mutant Beasts.
The Flame Bird had an 80m-long wingspan, and its talons were at least a metre. Even the Black Tooth Blade and Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade that were among Yue Zhong's best weapons could not match the sharpness of the talon.
Yue Zhong intended to forge a sharp machete from the talons. Using it might not gain any enhancements from killing his enemies, but it would be a powerful weapon to utilize.
After harvesting all that he could from the corpse, he hesitated a little while, before carefully proceeding towards one direction to the edge of the island.
"Level 118 Mutant Beast: Type 5 Dragon Whale Beast. It is of the Overlord-Level of the Seas, and it is an incredibly terrifying Mutant Beast."
Yue Zhong had just taken a look and began to edge back carefully. He was afraid of being noticed by that Type 5 Mutant Beast.
In such a vast ocean where there was no end in sight, the moment this Type 5 Dragon Whale Beast entered the waters, Yue Zhong would be in trouble.
The water bodies of the Earth were larger than the land mass, and the marine biology in the waters would definitely be more diverse and larger. Under such circumstances, the threat of these marine creatures was at least a hundred times more dangerous than on land. If Yue Zhong were to enter the waters, he would immediately be in danger. This was because his trump card Devil Flame was of no use in the water.
Yue Zhong returned to the biological armor containing Ji Qing Wu to stand guard.
The Type 5 Dragon Whale Beast was an overlord within the seas, and only other Type 5 Mutant Beasts would dare provoke it. No lower-rank Beasts would be silly to get too close.
Yue Zhong stood like this on the 'island', not able to utilize any of his skills. He could only wait obediently on the behemoth's back with the biological armor on it while reading a book out of boredom.
Within Yue Zhong's ring, there was a large supply of water and food, more than enough to last him for a year.
After an indeterminate number of days, a huge wave suddenly swept towards the back of the Type 5 Dragon Whale Beast.
"What's going on?"
Before Yue Zhong had the chance to react, he was swept off the back of the Type 5 Dragon Whale Beast and plunged into the deep blue sea.
The biological armor Ji Qing Wu had always been bound to Yue Zhong's back with some spider silk.
The moment he entered the water, the biological armor followed suit.
Since Ji Qing Wu was inside the pod, Yue Zhong could not afford to put the pod into his storage ring so he kept her outside.
Upon submerging into the waters, he saw the beast which was at least a thousand meters long, with a jaw full of sharp teeth, currently engaged in a clash with a huge shark at least 800m long. Both titans were currently snapping at and biting each other viciously. With them at the center, the resulting waves of their clash were constantly rippling out, churning the waters.
"Level 113 Mutant Beast: Type 5 Mutant Tiger Shark. One of the kings in the waters, its nature is extremely aggressive."
Yue Zhong saw the beasts engaged in mutual slaughter and hurriedly allowed the waves to carry him away from the vicinity. If it was on land, then it was a different matter. However, since they were helpless in the waters, he didn't dare stay to play the fisherman. If he was not careful, he might end up being finished off by the 2 behemoths.
Right after he had floated about a hundred meters away, his position was locked on by a huge Mutant Shark, and it immediately swam towards him.
"Level 46 Mutant Beast: Mutant Shark. A water-type mutant beast."
Although Yue Zhong possessed a body that was 10 times more powerful than a person, he was unable to utilize his maximum potential in water. Even if his speed now exceeded the world champion prior to the apocalypse, he could not possibly out-swim the Mutant Shark.
In barely a few breaths, the Mutant Shark had reached Yue Zhong and was opening its jaws to chomp down on him.
Before he was about to be bitten, Yue Zhong hurriedly activated his Clone Technique, and an identical clone appeared in the waters.
Seeing the appearance of one more prey, the Mutant Shark was momentarily confused, before it went for the one closer to it, and snapped its jaws.
On that clone, there was some spider silk that Yue Zhong had laid beforehand. With a thought, he retracted the silk, pulling himself towards the jaws of the Mutant Shark.
The Mutant Shark saw another prey appear by its jaws and opened them to bite again.
Yue Zhong immediately cast his Gravity Manipulation, causing a 2-fold gravitational force to weigh down on the Mutant Shark. The beast instantly sunk slightly, and its jaws snapped on nothing.
Yue Zhong took the chance to get on the head of the Mutant Shark, wrapping his spider silk around its body. He then unleashed a single punch with all of his strength towards the head of the beast. The hammer-like blow caused the body of the Mutant Shark to shudder.
Because of that blow, the Mutant Shark writhed in pain, trying to shake Yue Zhong off its back.
His fingers dug into the head of the Mutant Shark like claws, while he wrapped his legs around the body. He then proceeded to pummel the Mutant Shark's head viciously.
Although it was difficult to unleash one's strength due to the resistance in water, Yue Zhong's constitution already exceeded a normal person by 10 times. His Strength had already exceeded even some Mutant Beasts, and his blows were a considerable threat.
After close to 100 blows, the Mutant Shark was punched silly and the spider silk was constantly wearing down the Stamina of the beast.
After struggling for a while, its body went limp helplessly, and it spat out some blood.
Yue Zhong quickly made use of the opportunity to add a point to his Tamer Technique, before casting it on the Mutant Shark.
Under the forceful suppression from the Level 4 Tamer Technique, the Mutant Shark which was not even at its Type 2 stage was brought under Yue Zhong's control smoothly.
He heaved a sigh of relief and patted its body. With a thought, it directly shot through the water towards the surface like a jet.
When they broke through the surface, Yue Zhong exhaled deeply. The fight with the Mutant Shark had taken 15 minutes. If it wasn't for his high Vitality, he would definitely not have been able to hang on.
Yue Zhong rode on the Mutant Shark before handing a Type 2 Nuclei to the shark and said: "From today, you're called Little Sharkie then."
The Mutant Shark gobbled up the nuclei and expressed its joy through their telepathic connection.
To Little Sharkie, a Type 2 Nuclei was the best form of nutrition. It was already a high-level Mutant Beast within the waters, once it digested the nuclei, it could possibly evolve to a Type 2 Mutant Beast at any time.
Yue Zhong gave an order to Little Sharkie: "Take me to the nearest land!"
Receiving his orders, Little Sharkie shot towards the north-east direction with its maximum speed. Although it had suffered when it was pummeled by Yue Zhong earlier, the Type 2 Nuclei was a sort of nourishment and it was already recovering.
Normal sharks could only swim at a speed of about 40km/hour, and it was only for a short time. Little Sharkie was a Mutant Beast and it was able to hit 60km/hour or maintain a speed of 40km/hour for at least 12 hours.
Little Sharkie swam for 12 hours straight before it finally brought Yue Zhong to land. It then leaped out of the water onto land, curling its body as if it was dead.
Only Yue Zhong knew that Little Sharkie was currently evolving towards its Type 2 stage.
Yue Zhong glanced at Little Sharkie, ordering White Bones to stand guard over it, while he carried Ji Qing Wu and the biological armor she was in towards the inner parts of the land.

Chapter 535 – Japan!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
Yue Zhong came to a small town, only to discover that it was overrun with tall, wild grass. There were all sorts of abandoned vehicles, and not a single soul was in sight. There were only zombies in groups shambling about. On both sides of the streets, there were various stores with hiragana and katakana characters.
Yue Zhong realized where he was.
"This is Japan. Did we actually come this far?"
He looked around and strode towards the town. With his enhancement level and combat strength, killing 1000 zombies wasn't a problem anymore, it would just expend a huge amount of Stamina.
When Yue Zhong stepped into town, the huge group of zombies were attracted by his sounds and scent and began to shamble over.
He waved his huge Black Tooth Blade, slicing the zombies in front of him into 2. As they come forward, they would be casually dealt with.
Just as he was about to reach the center, there was the sound of glass breaking. 2 speedy shadows leaped out suddenly and rushed towards him.
The huge Black Tooth Blade slashed out twice in quick succession, as 2 cold blade beams caused the 2 S2s to be sliced apart, blood splattering everywhere. A Level 3 Skill Book: Agility Solidification appeared in Yue Zhong's hands.
Strength Solidification, Agility Solidification, such strengthening skill books appeared more commonly. In comparison, Devil Flame, Plant Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, etc, such skills that were powerful offensively were only dropped from hunting high-level Mutant Beasts or zombies. Even then, the chances were slim.
"Tasukete! Tasukete! (Help!)"
As Yue Zhong was waving his Black Tooth Blade about to slice the zombies, an anxious cry or help sounded from a supermarket.
"Human? Japanese?" Yue Zhong frowned and looked towards the direction. He saw a huge supermarket and up on the 2nd level, there was a young high school female student. Her hair was long and black, tied in a ponytail. Her eyes were bright and large, her bountiful chest threatening to burst out from her sailor-like uniform. She was currently screaming to get Yue Zhong's attention.
"Should I save her? Ah, what the heck, having a local is better."
Yue Zhong hesitated before walking over.
There were 5 S2s and 2 L2s as well as over a dozen other ordinary zombies gathered in front of the gate. They immediately pounced towards Yue Zhong when they saw him.
He waved his weapon about, easily taking care of them in a matter of seconds.
Within the supermarket, there were a dozen ordinary zombies that were once the employees roaming about. He took care of them and directly headed to the 2nd level, kicking the door wide open.
When the Japanese student saw him, her face revealed a pleasant look of surprise, as she bowed 90 degrees, and greeted him with respect: "Arigatou! Thank you!"
Yue Zhong eyed the student and asked directly: "Do you speak Chinese?"
Hearing his words, the female student immediately became flustered. It was obvious that she couldn't.
He sighed lightly in his heart. Chinese was after all not English, which was the world's most common language. If he hadn't learned the Language Proficiency skill, it would have been a nightmare to communicate with the student.
Yue Zhong continued: "I'm Yue Zhong! I'm from China, what's your name?"
The Japanese student replied: "I'm called Fujisaki Kaori! 2nd-year student at Sakura High. I'm 16 this year. Thank you very much for saving me, Yue-kun!"
"Why are you here?" He assessed her carefully, noting the Japanese katana beside her, and felt that it must be a system equipment.
Fujisaki Kaori looked at Yue Zhong with her huge eyes filled with reverence and idolization. "I was here to source for food. However, I wasn't careful and allowed those S-types and L-types to surround me. Thankfully, Yue-kun appeared to save me, otherwise, I would have starved to death here. Yue-kun, you're really strong! You can kill so many zombies so easily! It's too amazing!"
The Japanese were respectful people, and their humble attitude and reverence for the strong were deep set in their bones. As long as there was strength, it didn't matter what the other party was. Only the strong would earn the respect and veneration from the Japanese.
Fujisaki Kaori watched how fearlessly Yue Zhong had strolled into the crowd of zombies. He had crushed them like ants, and her heart had fluttered. She felt slightly attracted to him, after all, he had just saved her.
Heroes rescuing damsels in distress was a tradition that was almost a sure-fire way to win the heart of the fairer sex. It was so popular because it was extremely effective.
Fujisaki Kaori was silent for a while before she extended an invitation to Yue Zhong: "Yue-kun! Will you please come with me to our establishment?"
Yue Zhong looked at her expectant expression and guessed that she might be from a small establishment. Those small-time factions had no way of containing someone like him, if he were to rage, he could easily decimate one or two of such bases.
"Sure." He agreed, even though he was not of a favorable impression of the Japanese. However, he had no choice because of the foreign land, and he needed someone to guide.
"Come with me! I'll gift you something from the supermarket!" Yue Zhong turned and headed down.
Fujisaki Kaori followed him down.
He pointed to the entire supermarket and said: "Help yourself!"
"Thanks!" After expressing her thanks, Fujisaki Kaori ran and grabbed a huge haversack. Before stuffing it with all sorts of things. After filling it up, she then found a trolley, filling it up before pushing it out.
"This Fujisaki Kaori is pretty intelligent!" Yue Zhong eyed her actions and praised her silently.
Most people would not think of using the trolleys to collect and transport items. After all, one's mobility would be affected when using it. However, Fujisaki Kaori had done precisely so because she knew she had Yue Zhong around.
Soon, she carried her haversack and pushed the trolley in front of him.
"Let's go!" Yue Zhong eyed Fujisaki Kaori and turned around, not minding the trolley at all.
She was slightly disappointed and proceeded to push it herself, following behind Yue Zhong.
Along the way, many zombies tried to attack Yue Zhong, all he had to do was to slash out casually. The zombies didn't stand a chance, each and every one of them being sliced in two. None could get close enough.
"Strong!! He's even stronger than demons!" Fujisaki Kaori watched on as Yue Zhong continued to slaughter the zombies, and her heart trembled.
With her leading, Yue Zhong soon came to a small village in between 2 mountains.
"Kaori Onee-chan!!"
"Kaori Onee-chan, you're back!"
When Fujisaki Kaori returned to the village, a number of small kids from the ages of 9 to 13 came running out. Other than them, there were 2 other women that seemed above 30, as well as 3 other younger women of about 16 to 18.
There was a total of 15 kids that came running out. Every one of them was scrawny, and had visible signs of the conditions of the apocalypse. However, they had no signs of being mistreated and were still as innocent and boisterous as kids should be.
At this time, one 17 or 18-year-old young woman with freckles and an obese figure shot Fujisaki Kaori a look and barked: "Kaori! Who is this person? How can you bring a man back? Have you forgotten that all men are animals?"
Another one, who was shorter and had an ordinary face, looked at the Black Tooth Blade on Yue Zhong's back with apprehension in her eyes and asked: "Kaori! Who is this?"
There was also a bespectacled and pretty but strict-looking Japanese lady who was assessing Yue Zhong through narrowed eyes. She kept silent.
The kids in the village were also curiously looking at Yue Zhong.
Fujisaki Kaori started to explain to the rest: "He is Yue Zhong, from China. He saved me from being trapped at the supermarket! Because of him, I was able to get all these!"
The freckled fatty immediately shout out in agitation when she heard Yue Zhong was from China: "What?! He's Chinese?! Shit!! Fujisaki Kaori! How can you bring a Chinese here? This is Japan, we're Japanese, this is not a place you can come to. Get the hell out!"
"Get out!! We don't welcome you here!!"
"This is Japan, we don't welcome the Chinese here! Get out!! Uotsuri Jima is ours!"
When they heard the shouts of the freckled fatty, the rest of the Japanese kids also began to jump up and down as they hollered at Yue Zhong.
Various Japanese right-wing forces had been rearing their heads in recent years and influenced much of the public opinion on a general hatred towards the Chinese.
As the kids began to shout, some even bent down to pick up stones and pebbles to pelt Yue Zhong.
"Bunch of unconscientious people!"
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly and shot forwards. He lashed out with his leg, kicking 5 of the kids, sending them flying about 7 to 8 metres backward. They all spat blood. He then lunged towards the freckled fatty and slapped her harshly across the face, causing her to tumble, and a few of her teeth to be knocked out. She also coughed up blood as a result.

Chapter 536 – Xenophobia!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
Yue Zhong pulled out his huge Black Tooth Blade and pointed it at those Japanese survivors. He barked out coldly: "All of you shall kneel! Those who don't, I'll slice your head off!"
"You dare hit me!! I'll kill you!!" The freckled fatty instantly charged over with a face contorted by fury.
"No!!" Fujisaki Kaori immediately screamed out.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and the Black Tooth Blade sliced through the air like a beam of light.
The head of the freckled fatty soared through the air as fresh blood splattered. Her headless corpse struggled a little before slumping to the ground.
After killing the freckled fatty, Yue Zhong's eyes turned even colder as he pointed at all the Japanese survivors and shouted out with a menacing and oppressive tone: "Get the fuck on the ground! Otherwise, you'll die!"
When they saw Yue Zhong killing the girl without hesitating, everyone stared in shock and fear, as though they had just seen a demon.
"Sorry!!"
"Sorry!! Forgive our offense!!"
"Sorry!! Please forgive us!!"
The pretty bespectacled girl was the first to get on the ground. The rest also hurriedly got on their knees in terror, as they begun to plead for mercy.
"Please, Yue-kun! Please have mercy on us, don't kill anyone else! They didn't mean it!" Fujisaki Kaori also knelt and begged Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong had kicked the Japanese kids and took the life of the freckled fatty without batting an eyelid. This was proof of his cold nature and not someone to be pushed around. They had been totally suppressed by his terrifying aura.
"Please use as you wish, but spare the kids!! They're innocent!" The 2 middle-aged women crawled over and pulled their clothes off, revealing their fair breasts. They hoped to use their bodies to appease Yue Zhong.
"I'm not interested in you!! Since you guys don't welcome, then you won't like the food that I had kindly provided. Let me burn them all!" He eyed the Japanese survivors coolly and pointed at the trolley. His Devil Flame immediately ignited the trolley, turning the trolley and its contents into cinders.
All the survivors looked at the burning items and their eyes flashed with an intense regret. A few of them began to wail. They were running out of supplies, otherwise, the weak Fujisaki Kaori would not have risked her life to search for food.
The small town might not pose a problem to Yue Zhong, but to those ordinary survivors, it was as terrifying as hell. A single S2 was enough to kill the entire village of survivors.
After turning the trolley into ash, his gaze landed on the haversack on Fujisaki Kaori's back.
She felt a chill down her spine and grabbed the bag tightly. She kneeled on the ground and began begging: "Yue-kun! Please! Let us have at least this bag. It's our only hope! As long as you leave this for us, I'm willing to spend the night with you! I'm a virgin, and I should be able to satisfy you…"
The pretty, bespectacled girl who had been kneeling rigidly also spoke up: "Yue-kun! I'm Ida Kyoko, 17 this year, I'm also a virgin. This time, it was our fault! Please be magnanimous and let us have this bag! I'm willing to join Kaori and let you have your way with us for a night!"
Without food, the entire town could not survive beyond a few more days. Ida Kyoko was also extremely clear and decided to use her body to exchange for the food.
Yue Zhong spoke coldly: "I need a map of this area. I also need someone to lead the way, to the nearest establishment. As long as you can provide this, I'll leave tomorrow, and the bag is yours."
He had no goodwill towards the Japanese, but he would not go on a massacre for no reason. Unless both sides were enemies, where he would not hesitate to rain hell and carnage upon his foes.
Ida Kyoko kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and spoke respectfully: "Yes! I have a map here. I also know where the location of the nearest survivor base is. Let me be your guide tomorrow Yue-kun. Please rest for the night here."
If he had not displayed his strength, they would have already chased him out. However, since he showed that he was willing to punish children, and killed the freckled fatty who had dared to assault him, they were filled with fear towards him. Naturally, they would not chase him out, for fear of him going crazy and killing them all.
"En!" He replied indifferently and began to walk into town.
After he left, the survivors stood up.
"Damn Chinese dog!! Lowlife Chinese scum. You dare kick the future elites of my Great Japan!! I'll not let you off! I'll make life a living hell for you!!"
A 13-year-old Japanese boy by the name of Ueda Koji with dyed blond hair stared hatefully at Yue Zhong's back, his eyes flashing viciously.
Ueda Koji looked at Ida Kyoko and Fujisaki Kaori and his face contorted in rage: "Kaori onee-chan is mine!! Kyoko onee-chan is also mine!! I'll not let you take them away, Chinese dog!!"
With these vile thoughts, Ueda Koji thought to find a chance to slip out of town.
Soon, it came to dinner time. The 2 Japanese housewives prepared a large wok of porridge, before separating in many bowls.
The Japanese children lined up to get their bowls, before slurping the porridge, wiping the bowls clean.
Yue Zhong watched this sullenly. In his country, his fellow countrymen had a lack of manners and the habit of queueing. Even the little rascals would frequently jump the line, and made use of their bodies to squeeze through or bully the weaker kids for food. These were all bad habits instilled in them by their parents. Only after Yue Zhong punished this behavior did it start to disappear. Seeing the orderly manner of the Japanese kids, he was slightly unhappy. After all, he was slightly nationalistic, and seeing the Japanese being better than the Chinese in any aspect caused him to feel sour.
"Yue-kun, this is yours." Ida Kyoko served a plate to Yue Zhong.
It was a simple meal. There was soup, rice, as well as canned fish and vegetables. In this apocalypse, it was considered a sumptuous meal.
Many of the Japanese looked over, their mouths salivating. However, they sat still, not daring to move about. The Chinese in front of them had shown them how ruthless he could be, and they dared not provoke this man who killed without blinking.
"No need! You guys have it." Yue Zhong declined their goodwill and pulled out his own canned Type 2 Beast meat, and began to devour it down.
The Type 3 Mutant Beast meat would boost his energy and replenish what he expended, so he would only save it for situations, where he might need to recover or save weaker survivors.
Ida Kyoko had also done so as a perfunctory gesture, she wasn't really willing to let Yue Zhong have such precious food. When he declined, she brought the food back, and separated into 14 equal portions, giving the little kids to eat. Although it was just a little bit, the kids all had expressions of bliss on their faces.
Yue Zhong watched the actions of Ida Kyoko as well as the kids, and he thought silently: "What a scary race of people."
Japan had been able to pick itself up and soar to economic greatness after World War 2. On one hand, it was because there was the assistance from America, on the other hand, which was more important, was that the Japanese were very united, and had an undying resolve no matter the obstacle.
The more he watched, the more depressed he got, and he decided to hoist the biological armor and walked into another room to rest.
When he left, all the Japanese survivors heaved a sigh of relief. His very presence exuded an overpowering pressure on them, making it hard for them to breathe. When he left, they could finally relax.
One of the housewives asked: "Kyoko, are you really going to lead him tomorrow?"
Ida Kyoko nodded "En! This Yue Zhong seems to be a man of his word, if I help him, he will keep his promise."
The other housewife spoke: "I wonder what he wants with a larger survivor base? Why don't we all follow him? Maybe joining a larger survivor base would be easier for us all."
Right at this time, the sounds of motorbikes and cars came roaring from outside the village.
Hearing the commotion, the survivors all stepped out to take a look out of curiosity.
Only to see a whole bunch of men in tattered and mismatched clothes, each of them wielding weapons like baseball bats, knives, and blades. Ueda Koji was behind the leader, a burly man with a shaven head. He had a huge scar running down his face, and he had plenty of tattoos on his body.
Ueda Koji spoke respectfully to the scarred man: "Kuwata-oyabun, it's here."
The bald scarred man was called Kuwata Taro. He was the boss of this area, and had 60 soldiers under him, and was the king of about 300 survivors.
A 13-year-old Japanese boy by the name of Ueda Koji* with dyed blond hair stared hatefully at Yue Zhong's back, his eyes flashing viciously.
*Raws seem to suggest his name to be either Ryuki Koji or Ueda Koji.
Ueda Koji spoke respectfully to the scarred man: "Kuwata-oyabun, it's here."
*Oyabun : a mafia/gang term for boss.

Chapter 537 – Blade Beam!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
"Kill!!" Kuwata Yutaro revealed a savage smile and waved his hands, leading his subordinates into the village.
The dozens of armed men charged into the village in a frenzy.
"Quick! Escape!!" Fujisaki Kaori immediately screamed when she saw those men.
After which, she led the kids towards the village.
The 2 housewives ran over towards the men, hoping to use their bodies to buy some time for the kids.
The subordinates of Kuwata Yutaro began to surround the 2 housewives, as they took off their pants and began to rape the 2 women while laughing in glee.
While the 2 women were surrounded by 10 men, the rest of the armed men charged towards the village while roaring with laughter.
"Kaori onee-chan!! Save me!!" All of a sudden, a 12-year-old boy tripped and fell, his face wearing a frightened expression as he shouted for Kaori.
"Hahahaha!! Die!" One of the thugs swung his blade down with a perverse look of madness, separating the kid's head in a shower of blood.
While it was true that the Japanese had a powerful will and fighting spirit, likewise, some had an intense side to them. Many had their own mental demons, which when unleashed, would cause them to be worse than beasts.
Those subordinates of Kuwata Yutaro were capable of all evils, and every one of them had no qualms committing acts of evil.
"Kenta!!" Fujisaki Kaori screamed out in misery when she witnessed the cruel and inhumane scene.
A 10-year-old girl fell as well, and she sobbed uncontrollably with snot and tears flowing out of her eyes and nose. She pleaded as she looked towards Ida Kyoko: "Onee-chan!! Save me!! Kyoko onee-chan, save me please!!"
3 of the burly thugs instantly surrounded that little girl and took off their pants before proceeding to press the girl underneath them. They basically allowed their primal but perverse nature to go wild.
Soon, the screams of pain mixed with the pants of excitement from the thugs filled the air. There was a disgusting tension in the air.
"Masako!! Masako-chan!! Animals!!" Ida Kyoko screamed out as she watched on helplessly. Her beautiful face was an expression of fury, her eyes bloodshot, and her hands were pale white from clenching too tight. However, she was extremely clear that even if she went back, she would just become a sacrifice, not doing any good.
"Yue Zhong!! There's only him left! Only he can save us!!" Ida Kyoko came to a swift decision and thought of the only person in the village that could save them.
On the other side, Fujisaki Kaori was not stupid as well and brought the kids towards Yue Zhong's location.
Ida Kyoko came to where Yue Zhong was staying and saw that he was leaning against the window, watching the events unfold quietly. He showed no intentions of lending a helping hand at all.
Yue Zhong watched the Japanese thugs killing and raping their own countrymen and there was a mix of emotions in him. There was fury, numbness, and a slight sense of gratification. He was furious because these brutes actually had no qualms killing their own people. Numb because he had seen so much of these types of scenarios since the apocalypse began. Each time a faction took over another, there would be such unrest and chaos. He had truly seen too much. And the slight gratification was because he silently thought that, even the Japanese were not saints, seems like there were enough perverts among them as well.
Ida Kyoko immediately knelt down in front of Yue Zhong and pleaded: "Yue-kun! Please lend a hand and save us!!"
If Yue Zhong did not do anything, the survivors would likely be wiped out, leaving at most the women to serve as sex slaves.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a look of ridicule: "I'm a hated Chinese of your Japanese people. Why should I save you guys? You should look for your own people to help."
When the Japanese survivors had first seen Yue Zhong, they were immediately xenophobic. Yue Zhong was still fuming over their ungrateful attitude towards his goodwill.
He was the sort that was clear about his feelings, he would be nice to those who treat him well, and he would be ruthless to those who were his enemies.
Ida Kyoko raised her head to implore Yue Zhong with those mesmerizing eyes of hers. There was a resolute look in them: "Yue-kun, I would like to propose a deal. Please save these kids, after all, they're innocent. In exchange, I'll be willing to serve you as a maid from now on. From today onwards, whatever you ask of Kyoko, I'll do it."
Ida Kyoko wasn't an idiot. She knew those thugs outside were beyond control. They had no way of talking sense or logic with them. In comparison, although Yue Zhong was a foreigner, he was at least reasonable. In her eyes, there was a chance to negotiate with him.
"Kyoko!" Fujisaki Kaori heard those words and turned to look at her, her face pale and her mind blank. Although her abilities were the strongest among the villagers, her adaptability and reaction to situations were not Ida Kyoko's equal.
Yue Zhong stared at Ida Kyoko who was looking straight at him with a resolute gaze and replied coolly: "Remember all that you've said today. If you dare go back on your word, I have my means to make you regret it for life."
Ida Kyoko kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and bowed deeply: "Yes!"
She had received an upbringing from the higher rungs of society and wore those thick old-fashioned glasses to hide her beauty.
"Haha! So many women!"
At this time, 13 men barged in. When they saw the 2 women in the room and those kids, the eyes of the men all lit up in excitement.
Fujisaki Kaori looked at one member of the group that had barged in, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes and she exclaimed shrilly: "Koji!! It was you!! You betrayed us?! Why? Why did you betray us?"
Of the 13 men, one was precisely Ueda Koji.
Ueda Koji looked at Fujisaki Kaori and Ida Kyoko, his face contorted in madness: "Kaori onee-chan! Kyoko onee-chan!! I like you guys!! I want you to be my women!! What is that Chinese dog worth? Why is it that you 2 were smitten by him the moment he came? This Chinese dog are our Japan's enemies!! Why, why must you treat him so well, to the point of offering your bodies to him? Since it's like this, why can't I be your man?! Yutaro-oyabun has already promised me. As long as I lead them here, the 2 of you will be women from now on!"
Ida Kyoko looked at Ueda Koji, her eyes flashing with pity: "Koji! You have been deceived! They will not give us to you!"
The few subordinates of Kuwata Yutaro laughed at Ueda Koji with scorn and ridicule in their eyes.
With these 2 beauties, Kuwata Yutaro would definitely not leave them just for Ueda Koji to enjoy alone.
However, Ueda Koji didn't seem to discover anything amiss, looking at Kuwata Yutaro with an expectant look: "Kuwata-oyabun will not lie to me. Kuwata-oyabun, you can deal with the rest how you like. Kaori onee-chan and Kyoko onee-chan are mine. Please capture them for me."
Kuwata Yutaro's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly pulled out a sharp katana and sliced towards Ueda Koji, causing his body to be separated.
"Ah!!!" With blood splattering everywhere, and his legs separated from his body, Ueda Koji didn't die instantly, instead, he fell to the ground, screaming out. His face was hideous, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
Kuwata Yutaro looked at Ueda Koji and there were contempt and ridicule in his eyes: "I'm not lying to you. I will hand them to you. But since you're dead, then your women will be shared by the rest of us!"
He then turned to Yue Zhong and waved his hands, ordering out coldly: "Chop up that Chinese. I want him alive, and I will cook him and torture. Whoever can remove his limbs, after I'm done with these 2 women, that person will get to be 2nd."
"Kill!!"
The other 11 men that were surrounding the room instantly charged towards Yue Zhong with savage looks. 2 of them were Agility Enhancers of Level 7, their abilities stronger than the rest of the thugs.
Seeing the assault of the 11 thugs, the remaining kids immediately darted behind Yue Zhong, their faces filled with fright.
Each of the thugs wielded sharp katanas, and they looked positively terrifying.
Ida Kyoko couldn't help but scream out in warning: "Watch out!!"
These were 11 thugs encircling one man, she was afraid that once Yue Zhong was killed, they would all be at the mercy of Kuwata Yutaro, and their fates would be worse than death.
"Thrash!"
With that mild snort, a blade beam slashed out across the room. The 11 thugs were instantly sliced into pieces, blood splattering everywhere.
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, Kuwata Yutaro was shocked, his heart instantly plummeting.

Chapter 538: Dispute!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Kyoko, Kaori and the remaining kids were all shocked when they witnessed this. This sort of technique exceeded what was possible, and they were truly shaken.
Kyoko's eyes were filled with veneration: "Too terrifying! His technique had exceeded human limitations. Even a sword saint would not be able to block that blow. He's as terrifying as a demon!"
"AH!" Kuwata Yutaro was afraid, but he was known around these parts as a fierce thug after all. He forcefully suppressed his fear by shouting out loudly, charging at Yue Zhong with a fearsome killing intent.
"What a fast blade!" Kyoko was the chairman of the kendo club back in school, and knew about kendo. She could see that the move of Kuwata Yutaro was not simple, and if it was her facing him, she would definitely not be able to defend against this strike, furthermore, it was backed by his strength of a Level 23 Enhancer.
Kuwata Yutaro had just run forwards a few steps and reached Yue Zhong, when suddenly, a blade flashed. Kuwata Yutaro's head was sent flying into the sky with a shower of warm blood. His headless corpse continued to stumble a few steps forwards before crashing to the ground.
Yue Zhong stepped forward and picked up the katana from the corpse of Kuwata Yutaro, and a flurry of information appeared in his mind: "Level 2 Treasure: Odachi. An incredibly sharp blade."
Yue Zhong threw the odachi over to Kyoko: "Take it! I can't be protecting you all the time. Only you can protect yourself!"
"Yes! I understand!" Kyoko picked up the odachi and bowed to Yue Zhong, before taking a few swings. Each and every move of hers was precise and purposeful.
"This girl definitely has some background."
Yue Zhong eyed Kyoko before turning around and walked out: "Come with me!"
Kaori and Kyoko followed behind Yue Zhong. They were joined by the remaining Japanese kids.
Outside, the remaining subordinates of Kuwata Yutaro were currently raping their captives indiscriminately. When they saw Yue Zhong and his group step out, they rushed over with looks of savagery.
Yue Zhong watched the incoming bandits indifferently and slashed out, slicing them all in two.
As the scene of carnage unfolded, Yue Zhong strolled through like a bloodthirsty devil, any bandit that got too close would be immediately sliced.
"Terrifying! He's like a demon! He's too strong!" Kaori stood behind Yue Zhong and watched as he dealt with the bandits, her heart filled with shock and reverence.
When the bandits had almost been wiped out, leaving a dozen behind, those remaining ones tried to make a break for it.
"Get the hell on the floor. Otherwise you'll die!"
Yue Zhong barked out coldly when he saw them running. He then shot forwards with a speed that exceeded a Type 2 Lightning, rushing towards the bandits.
In the dark of the night, a few of the escaping bandits were separated in two, as blood splattered everywhere, their innards spilling out of their corpses. It was a horrifying scene, and the screams rang out through the night.
"Don't kill me!! I surrender!"
"Don't kill me!!"
There were many cowards who feared death among the bandits as well. When they saw their comrades being slaughtered like pigs, they immediately got on the floor and begged Yue Zhong tearfully.
In that short carnage, all that was left of the bandit group was 9 people. The rest had become corpses.
The 9 of them kneeled on the floor, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as they awaited Yue Zhong's judgement.
Along Kaori's path, she had seen the dead bodies of her fellow survivors. With every passing body, the fury in her heart intensified.
The housewives were naked, their bodies covered with spots of semen everywhere. Their eyes were opened wide, and their bodies were covered in bruises. They had no life left in them. There were also 4 other lolis of about 10 to 11, while they were not dead yet, they had been tortured till the point where they're on the brink of death. Their bodies were bruised, and there was blood everywhere. 6 of the boys were also covered in semen, their necks already snapped, and their faces full of fear even in death.
In the apocalypse, ration was precious. Girls and women would be used to satisfy desires, that was why they were likelier to survive. To the rotten bandits under Kuwata Yutaro, anyone else were just dispensable. They were cruel and vicious, and naturally would not allow the other boys to survive.
When Kaori saw the bandits lined up in front of Yue Zhong, she lost her cool and screamed: "Bastards!! Yue-kun!! Kill them!! KILL THESE FUCKING BEASTS!!"
Hearing her shrill screams, those men began to tremble even more. They looked fearfully at Yue Zhong and his long Black Tooth Blade.
"Shut up." Yue Zhong shot Kaori a cold look.
She felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, and she immediately clammed up.
Yue Zhong ordered: "Kyoko, go tie them up!"
"Yes! Master!" She replied and found a few ropes before tying the captives seriously. She then escorted them to a small storehouse and locked them in.
Yue Zhong gazed at the remaining survivors, as he spoke indifferently: "My deal with Kyoko is completed, the rest is up to you."
After that, he went back to his room and rested.
If it were in China, Yue Zhong would definitely have slaughtered these thugs and used his resources to save the children. He would then train them and teach them how to survive in this cruel world.
However, this was Japan, to a deeply nationalistic person like Yue Zhong, it was a mercy that he didn't slaughter them all. He would naturally not lend a hand to the xenophobic Japanese survivors.
"Kako-chan!! Hang in there!! Hang in there!!"
"Nishi-chan, hang in there!!"
Inside a room, Kaori was currently applying all the precious medicine that they had on the 4 pitiful girls. The girls laid there, their bodies still defiled and covered with bruises and blood, and Kaori's tears would not stop flowing.
Those thugs who had followed Kuwata Yutaro were inhumane beasts, and scum among scum. They had lost all sense of rationality, and had vented their desires without care for the frail bodies of the girls, causing them to be broken.
Kaori looked at those pale and shivering children, who were teetering between life and death, and asked Kyoko frantically: "What do we do, Kyoko? What should we do?"
In this small village, the housewives had been the ones to call the shots. Kaori was just a pretty high school student. She was part of the gymnastics club in school, and had also learnt some karate. After the apocalypse happened, she had become an Enhancer by chance. However, her circumstances were vastly different from Yue Zhong, and she wasn't as strong. She did not dare take risks as well, hence her low level. Other than her status as an Enhancer and a beauty, she could not compare to Kyoko in terms of her intelligence and adaptability.
Kyoko looked at Kaori and the remaining children and frowned. She was extremely clear that once she was brought along with Yue Zhong tomorrow, the rest would not stand a chance out here. In fact, one of the reasons she decided to follow Yue Zhong was to rely on this expert in the future.
Kyoko pondered for a long while, before speaking softly: "Kaori, go plead with Master. Only he has the means to save Kako-chan and the rest."
When Kaori heard that, her eyes lit up, before turning crestfallen again: "Kyoko, he would not help us easily."
After this matter, Kaori had a good feel of Yue Zhong's character. The first meeting the villagers had with him turned antagonistic. Expecting him to help out without asking for anything was basically impossible.
Kyoko suggested: "Simple. Submit to him, accept him as your master. Then he would not abandon us without a care."
One of the boys of about 12 or 13, Kuramoto Kira, immediately opposed vehemently: "No way!! I oppose!! He's cruel and he's a Chinese, our hated enemy! I will definitely not accept him as our master. This is Japan, not China. We are the pride and glorious people of Japan, how can we submit to him? No, no way! He didn't even say he wanted us. We could handle our own problems in the past, we should continue doing so in the future!!"
The village had been fortunate, having found a huge source of rations right at the start of the apocalypse. Also, there had been a moral Enhancer who helped to clear the town, allowing them to stay here hidden. They had gone through much lesser hardships compared to survivors outside, and due to that, they had been blinded by the cruelty of the world.
"Kira-kun!" Kaori heard his words and faltered. This wasn't like ancient times, she too wasn't willing to become a maid.
As long as a modern person did not go through any sort of hardships, no one would be willing to recognize someone else as master. Especially with a Chinese man like Yue Zhong.
Kira held up a small kodachi and declared with confidence: "Kaori onee-chan! I, Kuramoto Kira, swear to work hard to become a hero to protect you guys! With this kodachi in my hands!"
The kodachi was a first class weapon. It had been picked up by Kira from one of the dead thugs. With it, he was suddenly filled with confidence. Although he acknowledged that he was not a match for Yue Zhong, he had the confidence to protect Kaori.

Chapter 539: Type 3 Liger Beast!

Kaori hesitated, before she looked towards Kyoko, imploring her to help with her intelligence and perspective.
Kyoko looked back and sighed: "Kaori! I'm not part of you guys already. You'll have to make the decision yourselves."
By now, the 3 Japanese boys had stood up and were wielding their kodachis. Their eyes flickered with an unwavering resolve, obviously not intending to pledge allegiance to Yue Zhong.
The 3 of them were only about 12 or 13, and under the education system, they were brought up to hate the Chinese. If it wasn't for the strength of Yue Zhong that was so frightening, they would try to assassinate him in the night.
Kira looked at Kaori and spoke loudly: "Kaori onee-chan! The Chinese have a good saying, one must be guarded towards those not of one's race. He would definitely not view us as equals and he might even use us as slaves or cannon fodder."
Hearing Kira's words, Kaori sunk into contemplation again.
"I'll be going!" Kyoko saw the 3 boys filled with hostility towards her, and left the room. She could tell that she was no longer welcomed.
Early the next morning, Yue Zhong brought out the remaining 9 thugs from the locked storehouse.
Yue Zhong approached one of the shorter man who looked about 26 or 27, with ordinary features and asked: "What's your name?"
The young man replied somewhat hesitatingly: "My name is Takeshi Honda! I'm 28 this year."
These thugs did not refrain from committing evil acts in the apocalyptic world. They had seen their fair share of things, and knew that this man in front of them was a truly strong expert. The Japanese revered the strong, and having witnessed Yue Zhong's might, they were both in fright and in awe.
Yue Zhong stared at Honda and questioned: "Where's the nearest radio broadcast station?"
"Radio station? Please let me think for a while!" His brain began to work, before his eye lit up and he responded: "Yama County. Honoki Station. There's a large survivor base in that vicinity. There should be a radio station there."
Yue Zhong then shot out a flurry of questions: "What is the faction ruling over there now? Who's the leader? How many survivors are there?..."
Honda thought hard before replying: "The ones governing Yama County should be the Shimazu clan. The current leader is Shimazu Yuji. There're over a 10,000 survivors there. They're considered the strongest faction, and no one dares provoke them."
When Yue Zhong heard that, his brows furrowed. If it were just a thousand-strong establishment, he could definitely charge by himself to suppress the faction and forcefully obtain the station.
However, a base of more than 10,000 survivors was bound to have a number of strong experts. Furthermore, Japan had plenty of thick forests, which would mean more diverse Mutant Beasts and Mutant Plants. There would definitely be plenty of experts.
Yue Zhong pondered before making a decision: "I just need the radio station anyway! Let's just see how it goes!"
Yue Zhong gave Honda an order: "From now on, you are the captain of this small team. This is my maid Ida Kyoko, her position is higher than yours. Now move out!"
"Yes! I got it!!" When Honda heard those words, he was overjoyed. He was originally just a small-time thug among the group of bandits. Now he had become a captain. Furthermore, following someone as strong as Yue Zhong wasn't too bad. With his strength, it was possible to trample over many obstacles.
In fact, any Enhancer above Level 30 could go around sourcing for survivors to form a small faction. Of course, expanding from there wasn't as easy.
Yue Zhong had always been a man of action, coming and going like the wind. He brought Honda and Kyoko, leaving Kaori and the rest of the children as he walked towards the direction of Yama County. He was not a nanny and had no obligation to look after those that had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Yue Zhong turn around without so much of a care, Kaori's gaze was complicated. She felt uncertain about the future of the village, and was slightly at a loss.
About 67% of Japan were forest areas. Other than the major cities, the rest were forests. Yue Zhong escorted the captives while being led by Honda through one particular forest.
All of a sudden, there was a mighty roar that resounded throughout the forest. Countless birds were alarmed and scattered to the skies.
The moment Honda and the rest heard the roar, their bodies shuddered, their faces full of shock.
Honda immediately exclaimed with fear: "Not good!!! It's a Liger Beast, a Type 3 Liger Beast! We should escape now! Otherwise we'll die."
"Type 3 Mutant Beasts?" When Yue Zhong heard it, his eyes lit up in excitement. He was now at a high level and he had already promoted his Devil Flame into its Second Order stage. Against a Type 3 Mutant Beast, he possessed some means to go against one. It was unlikely that he would be killed quickly. Hence he had the intention to hunt it.
Yue Zhong immediately gave a gun to Kyoko and ordered: "You guys stay here. Kyoko, this is for you, if anyone dares make a move on you, execute him immediately."
Seeing the gun in Kyoko's hands, Honda and the rest of his team all showed signs of greed and envy. The might of a gun was powerful, and some Evolvers could not withstand them still. The bunch of thugs were ordinary, with only 2 low-level Enhancers among them. They were definitely incapable of handling Kyoko.
After passing his instructions, Yue Zhong shot towards the direction of the roar, disappearing in a flash.
In his heart, only Kyoko had some value. The rest could die for all he cared. If the thugs were to run, it would at most be a bit of trouble.
Yue Zhong ran with his maximum speed, arriving near the source of the noise.
Hong!!
Hong!!
When Yue Zhong was approaching the area, sounds of huge explosions rang out.
"There're people!!" Yue Zhong's heart turned cold and he immediately became cautious. He hesitated before retrieving the Stealth skill book and immediately learnt it.
He was in a foreign land, Japan's advanced technology coupled with their xenophobia towards China meant that he was in a more dangerous situation compared to Vietnam.
After all, as long as Yue Zhong had continued to move in the direction of Guang Xi, he would be like a fish in waters. However, in Japan, he had no kin no friends, he didn't even know which direction he could move towards. It was infinitely more prudent to be careful, and turned everything at his disposal to something he could utilize.
Yue Zhong proceeded towards the sounds of explosions, before activating the skill. His entire body blended with the surroundings, without a sign of his aura nor killing intent.
The moment he activated Stealth, even if he were to meet an existence stronger than him by a few times, it would be hard for him to be discovered.
About a few hundred metres in front of him, there was a forest, and he could see a 3-m tall beast of over 15m in length. It had the head of a tiger and body of a lion. A layer of scales covered its body. Its tail was lengthy at 3m, and its eyes were as large as plates. The fearsome beast was currently engaged in a fierce battle with a bunch of people.
"Level 88 Mutant Beast: Type 3 Liger Beast. It has a terrifying body, and is an overlord within the jungles."
There were over 300 people, each of them wielding different firearms and weapons.
The group of people were all high level Enhancers, each of them possessing powerful offensive abilities, like the Ice Pick, Flame Arrows, Earth Spikes, Air Cannons, Gravity Lock, Plant Manipulation, Summon Beast, etc. All sorts of abilities were casted towards the Type 3 Liger Beast.
The 300 Enhancers were all working in tandem without any flaw in their teamwork. With their smooth cooperation, even Yue Zhong would be dead if he engaged them.
The Type 3 Liger Beast leaped with all its might, using its pure strength and power to break away from all the shackles. Even with the power of the various Gravity and Vacuum users, it still possessed a speed that exceeded a Type 2 Lightning.
However, because it was still slowed down considerably, with the numerous abilities being casted on it, parts of its scales were chipped away. There was no considerable damage dealt to it however, but the attacks served to enrage it further.
The Type 3 Liger Beast pounced into the midst of some of the humans, and caused one Enhancer to be trapped under its paws. With a bite, the Enhancer had his throat ripped out. The Type 3 Liger Beast then swept its powerful tail, smashing into the head of one other Enhancer, separating it from his body.
The Type 3 Liger Beast was like a tiger among sheep as it smacked a number of Enhancers to the ground, before biting into their throats, killing them in showers of blood.
As the Type 3 Liger Beast was massacring the elite Enhancers, 4 men stood a distance away observing the situation.
A young man with a 2.5m huge sword on his back looked at the Type 3 Liger Beast with a hint of greed in his eyes: "Powerful! It truly is a Type 3 Mutant Beast. I wonder what will drop out once I kill it?"
A middle-aged man frowned slightly: "Ogawa-kun! That beast is not something you can handle alone! Only by working together, we can take it down. Plus, whatever that drops doesn't belong to you alone, it belongs to Emperor Amaterasu, the whole of Takama-ga-hara!"
Ogawa stared at the Type 3 Liger Beast and licked his lips: "Yes! Yes! Goto-senpai! Let us join hands and deal with this beast then!"

Chapter 540: Killing The Liger Beast!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
When the Type 3 Liger Beast decimated those 20 Enhancers, Ogawa's eyes flashed with a chilly light. He waved his hands, and a number of translucent spider silk shot towards the Type 3 Liger Beast noiselessly.
The Type 3 Liger Beast had just slapped a high-level Enhancer in two, when the spider silk stuck themselves to its body.
However, the Type 3 Liger Beast didn't seem to notice the spider silk hanging from its body.
As the Type 3 Liger Beast continued to rampage and tear 6 other Enhancers apart, Ogawa shouted: "Kawada-senpai!"
A burly man who was about 2m tall with rippling muscles shot forwards. His name was Kawada Kotaro. He activated his Second Order Explosive Strength, and his Strength index shot to a whopping 28 times. He grabbed onto the spider silk released by Ogawa and bellowed in rage, before activating his Level 3 Might, causing his Strength to further increase to 56 times. He then pulled savagely, and the 3m tall Type 3 Liger Beast with a body length of over 15m was instantly shackled down.
Kawada Kotaro was a Strength-based Evolver, and the Secord Order Explosive Strength could cause him to increase his Strength by 10 times that of a person.
The Level 3 Might would also double his strength as long as it go beyond 400 points. This allowed him to drag the body of the Type 3 Liger Beast down.
When the Type 3 Liger Beast was forcefully suppressed onto the ground, the Enhancers all around immediately launched all their skills on it, causing the entire body of the Liger Beast to be covered in wounds.
"Divine Spear Break!" Komauma Ichiro, an expert wielding a 2m-long Black Spear, roared out. His Spirit was pushed to its maximum, and his entire body seemed to become one with the Black Spear as they turned into a flash of light that shot towards the Type 3 Liger Beast viciously.
Divine Spear Break was a powerful Second Order skill, and when Komauma Ichiro transformed into a shooting star, he managed to pierce the scales of the Type 3 Liger Beast, and even tore a huge wound in its body.
"Seems like Japan has its experts too."
Yue Zhong watched as Komauma Ichiro exhibited his powerful spear move, and he thought silently to himself. If it was him who was faced with that strike, even he would be severely injured.
The Type 3 Liger Beast released an earthshaking roar as its claw swung down like a clap of thunder. Komauma Ichiro's head was instantly separated from his body, and blood splattered everywhere. This was a Level 58 Evolver, and he was just killed in an instant by the Type 3 Liger Beast.
The Type 3 Liger Beast then tugged on the spider silk, as a powerful strength traveled along the silk to reach Kawada Kotaro. He was immediately sent flying through the air towards the direction of the Type 3 Liger Beast, which seized the chance to lift itself up and bite Kawada Kotaro into two. The scene was gory.
Ogawa's reaction was fast, the moment he saw Komauma Ichiro's head being slapped away, he quickly cut off the connection between the silk and himself. That was how he avoided being sent into the mouth of the Type 3 Liger Beast as well.
The Type 3 Liger Beast's muscles became taut as its eyes turned bloodshot. It drew a ragged breath, and leaped forwards while still under the effects of the Gravity Manipulation. In a flash, it appeared in front of a middle-aged man that looked like the leader of the troops and with a swipe of its paws, that man's head was sent flying.
"Baka!!" Ogawa's body's turned cold, and he immediately activated his Level 4 life-saving ability: Flicker, causing his body to disappear from his spot, and appearing about 10m away.
His voice then resounded as he ordered the rest of the Enhancers: "Kill it! All of you, attack!"
Ice Picks, Fireballs, Ground Spikes, Lightning Orbs, all sorts of abilities were launched at the Type 3 Liger Beast. They served to injure it further, causing new wounds to open on top of the already serious old ones.
A battle that uses mass numbers was truly useful, as the Type 3 Liger Beast was slowly being whittled down by the constant barrage of attacks from the Enhancers. There were multiple fist-sized wounds all over its body, and there was an especially large one at its chest. The precious blood was flowing profusely.
The Type 3 Liger Beast was nearing the end of its line, yet it was still not dead. It continued to leap about in the battlefield, causing mayhem and deaths everywhere it went. Heads would pop out from their bodies and their headless corpses dropping to the ground.
As the death toll climbed, the attacks and skills being casted at it were beginning to drop, and it allowed the Type 3 Liger Beast to be more ruthless and savage in its attacks.
Under the slaughter, the remaining 100 Enhancers begin to lose their fighting spirit, and they started to escape in different directions. Humans were after all different from zombies, and they would fear death when facing an indomitable existence.
Ogawa eyed the Type 3 Liger Beast hatefully and gritted his teeth: "Shit!! This time, it's a failure!"
All of a sudden, there was a sniper gunshot, and Ogawa's head exploded in a shower of blood like a watermelon.
From the grass, Yue Zhong's cold eyes looked on as he kept the Falcon Sniper in his hands.
Although he did not know the background of Ogawa and the rest, their strength was not a joke. To him, they were a threat. Therefore, he resolved to take the strongest one out in an assassination the moment he could.
Even after hearing the sniper shot, the rest of the Enhancers did not turn back. They just continued to run for their lives. There was a terrifying beast behind them, and the moment they slowed down, death would fall upon their heads.
After Yue Zhong took out Ogawa, his right hand blazed with flames and a Devil Flame Spear appeared. His eyes flashed with a cold look, and he locked on the Type 3 Liger Beast's position. Taking a few breaths, he then threw it towards the Type 3 Liger Beast as the spear turned into a flash of light and exploded on the body of the Type 3 Liger Beast.
With a large explosion, the Devil Flame Spear penetrated the front leg of the Type 3 Liger Beast, causing the leg to be blasted into bits and pieces. The Type 3 Liger Beast immediately came to a halt as it kneeled down.
Yue Zhong shot forwards with both his hands blazing with Devil Flame, and he fired 2 more Devil Flame Spears without wasting a beat.
At this time, the Type 3 Liger Beast recognized Yue Zhong as its greatest threat. It forced itself to evade one of the Devil Flame Spears, but was unfortunately besieged by the other. The Devil Flame Spear combusted on its body, causing a large wound with blood flowing out.
Waving his hands, Yue Zhong brought out his Stinger and fired 6 consecutive shots at the Liger Beast. All 6 bullets found their target, causing the wounds on the beast to worsen.
Even after suffering such extensive damage, the Type 3 Liger Beast still did not die. Its eyes flashed fiercely, and it tensed its body, leaping towards Yue Zhong with a speed that was just slightly slower than a Type 3 Lightning. It slashed out with its claw, intending to take Yue Zhong's head off.
Yue Zhong was expecting that move and before the Liger Beast had appeared in front of it, he had already activated his Shadow Steps and pulled out his Black Tooth Blade to block in front of him.
The remaining front paw slapped onto Yue Zhong's Black Tooth Blade, and a tank-like force traveled through the blade, causing Yue Zhong to be sent flying backwards.
As the Type 3 Liger Beast launched its assault, Yue Zhong's left hand also conjured out a Devil Flame Spear that expended 80 Spirit and 20 Stamina to strike at the face of the Type 3 Liger Beast.
With a loud blast, a huge bloody hole appeared in the head of the Type 3 Liger Beast, as flames still burned around the wound, causing the brain to be fried.
On the other side, as Yue Zhong was about to smash into a huge rock, a white shield appeared behind him. He crashed into the boulder, but the resulting force caused the shield to disintegrate, before he slid to the ground, his face pale.
"Congratulations on achieving Level 79, you've gained 2 attribute points to be allocated."
A large experience orb flew into Yue Zhong's body, causing him to level up.
A blue treasure box also dropped beside the corpse of the Type 3 Liger Beast.
Seeing the dead Type 3 Liger Beast, a few of the escaping Enhancers immediately turned back, their eyes red as they charged towards the blue treasure box.
A blue treasure box definitely meant something valuable. Even if it was a blueprint, it would be a technologically advanced blueprint. If they could bring it back to Takama-ga-hara, they would instantly leap up the ranks to become important personnel.
A rope suddenly shot down from a nearby large tree, as it coiled towards the blue box, seemingly alive.
"You're seeking death!!" Yue Zhong roared out with anger as he fired a Devil Flame ball towards the tree, causing it to combust and burn. The Japanese Enhancer fell out of the tree, wailing in agony as he was burned alive.
Yue Zhong didn't spare a glance for the burning Japanese Enhancer and in a flash, he appeared beside the blue treasure box and grabbed it.
"Damn Chinese dog! Put that down! That's ours!!" One Enhancer who was Agility-based and Level 46 wielded an odachi as he charged towards Yue Zhong with bloodshot eyes.
"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong shot forwards, and the Black Tooth Blade in his hand swung down, slashing the Level 46 Enhancer in two.

Chapter 541 – Takama-ga-hara!
Translated by: Kun

Seeing the Level 46 Agility-based Enhancer being sliced in 2 in a single slash, the rest of the Japanese Enhancers felt their hearts turn cold.
This time, the hunting of the Type 3 Liger Beast had gathered Enhancers of at least Level 30 and above. However, the majority of them were precisely around that level. It was hard to break past the Level 40 stage. Hence, when the Level 46 Enhancer was executed by Yue Zhong just like that, it shocked the rest of the Japanese Enhancers.
After killing that Enhancer, Yue Zhong flashed forwards, appearing beside a Strength-based Enhancer. He waved his hand and the head of the unsuspecting Enhancer was sent flying even before he could react.
Yue Zhong had been enhancing his Agility without stop, and his current Agility was very high. Even a Level 40 Agility-based Evolver would not be able to match him. He was like a grim reaper, culling lives wherever he went. In just 7 steps, he took the lives of another 3 more Enhancers.
"Strong!! This Chinese is so damn strong, he's like Kami-sama from Takama-ga-hara!" When the Japanese Enhancers witnessed how Yue Zhong was casually killing their comrades, their hearts were filled with shock.
Yue Zhong felt that he was taking too long and pulled out his Stinger. He then fired 5 shots in an instant, causing the heads of 5 Enhancers to burst in a mess of blood and brain matter.
"Stop!! Don't kill me!! I surrender!" One of the Enhancers could not take the terror anymore and screamed out as he kneeled.
As the Enhancer took the initiative to surrender, 6 others also followed suit and began crying for their lives.
There were 5 others who weren't willing and quickly tried to run.
Yue Zhong eyed the escaping Enhancers and his eyes narrowed coldly. With a wave, 5 fireballs shot out towards the 5 Enhancers, and upon contact, they immediately combusted. The 5 Enhancers died screaming as they burned to death.
When the 7 Enhancers witnessed this, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they turned to look at Yue Zhong, unsure of how this Chinese would deal with them.
All of a sudden, 4 transport carriers lifted into the skies, before flying into a cluster of clouds and disappearing.
"Transport carriers! This Japanese faction actually has them! If only they were mine…"
Yue Zhong eyed those vehicles, as his eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy and pity.
Yue Zhong was currently lacking large aerial transport means. If he had those large transport carriers, then he could deploy his troops anywhere he liked.
In China prior to the apocalypse, the rails went everywhere and fulfilled the needs of transport. Deployment of troops was mainly through the movement of trains. However, when the apocalypse happened, there were zombies and Mutant Beasts everywhere. Many areas were now inhabited by monsters. It was impractical to rely on the tracks to deploy troops. Only the usage of transport carriers would make sense.
The Kingdom of God was conquering Europe, but they had managed to spare some attention on Asia. This was because of their possession of such carriers, which allowed them to travel to all corners of the world.
Yue Zhong stood and eyed the surrendered Japanese Enhancers, asking coldly in Chinese: "Who knows how to speak Chinese here?"
The 7 men looked at each other helplessly. Chinese was not like English which was more widely used. Unless there was someone with the intention to expand in China, there were few Japanese who went to pick up Chinese on their own.
One middle-aged man who had a medium build and ordinary looks hesitated a while before speaking up: "I know some Chinese!"
"Your name! Ability!"
"My name is Muto Shin. My ability is the Level 2 High-Speed Movement."
Yue Zhong fixed his piercing gaze on Shin and asked: "Good! From now on, you're the leader of this group. They are your subordinates. I'll ask you this. Who are you people, and what faction were you from?"
Muto Shin hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and spilling his background: "Yes! Sir! We're servants of the gods from Takama-ga-hara!…"
Every country would possess those with no backbones. This Muto Shin was a classic example. He literally spilled the beans on all that he was and knew, hoping to gain favor with Yue Zhong.
Hearing Muto Shin's explanation, Yue Zhong finally understood their background.
Takama-ga-hara was, according to myths, the land of the Japanese gods. Right as the apocalypse started, a wealthy leader of a large business conglomerate had survived due to luck. His successor had also awakened as an Evolver. He reorganized the survivors and remaining factions and accepted any survivors, thus forming a powerful group known as Takama-ga-hara.
In the faction, divine soldiers were the lowest-grade soldiers, while divine servants were Enhancers above Level 30. Deities were Enhancers above Level 50, and at the pinnacle, there were Kami-s, the highest level of experts. There were only 5 of them in the entire Takama-ga-hara.
Each and every one of them possessed terrifying strength, and the leader of them all was called Nendori Tatsuo, a powerful Evolver.
Due to the faction establishing early, they managed to gather more than 500,000 people. They even managed to conquer the Nagano Prefecture, claiming it as a base.
Japan's Nagano was on par with any Chinese city, with over 2 million people before the apocalypse, and being able to occupy such a huge territory was a sign of Takama-ga-hara's power.
"500,000 survivors. A truly large faction."
Yue Zhong frowned when he heard that. He could feel a sense of foreboding just hearing about their accomplishments.
While Takama-ga-hara was not comparable with the Kingdom of God, it was near China. If they were to expand in power, in a few years, by the time they absorbed the rest of the powers in Japan, they might instigate the next Sino-Japan war.
As they were on a separate island, they had very few strategic options. They longed to expand outwards, and in truth, it was the only possible strategy. However, to other countries, it was a huge problem.
Yue Zhong quickly threw all vexing thoughts to the back of his head. He had to consider his next move.
"It's currently an unfounded worry. No matter what happens, I need to make going back to China my priority. I need a broadcast station, an airplane, and a pilot."
Yue Zhong was extremely clear about his own power. He was strong, but not invincible. If he were to charge in single-handedly against Takama-ga-hara, it would be suicidal.
Yue Zhong then ordered Shin: "Go gather everything from here."
"Hai!" Shin and the rest immediately responded respectfully and began to collect the equipment and stuff from their dead comrades.
Yue Zhong opened up the blue treasure box, and with a bright blue flash, a blueprint appeared in front of him: "Level 7 Treasure: Sky Fortress Laser Secondary Cannon Diagram. One part of the full Sky Fortress Design. The components of the designs consist of Power Furnace, Main Cannon, Outer Hull, Secondary Cannons, Structural Design, Power System and Operating System. A total of 7 separate diagrams. When all 7 are collected, the full and complete Sky Fortress diagram will be obtained."
Yue Zhong eyed the diagram in his hands and his eyes flashed with a glint of pity: "Sky Fortress! This is definitely a powerful war fortress. Otherwise, it wouldn't require so many diagrams and components. What a pity, it requires 7 of them, who knows how many donkey years it will take to collect them?"
However, the might of the secondary laser cannon was not to be disregarded, even if there was no way to fit it on a Sky Fortress now, it could still act as a powerful weapon. He kept the design carefully in his storage ring, before going over to collect the Blood Essence and Nuclei from the dead Type 3 Liger Beast.
On the other side, since Yue Zhong had left for a long period, Honda's eyes gleamed strangely.
One other thug exchanged a look with Honda before they took a step towards Kyoko, their gaze was unkindly.
"Don't come over, what are you guys doing?" Kyoko was on extreme alert, and she retreated while staring at the thug.
Honda tried to plead with Kyoko: "Kyoko-san! Let's run together. That Chinese man is like a devil, and he obviously has some bias against us Japanese. He might just kill all of us."
Kyoko eyed them coldly and barked: "Master has ordered us to stay, are you thinking of disobeying?"
Honda's eyes flashed with another strange glint: "What about this! You let us go Kyoko-san, you can stay here on your own."
As long as they could leave, Honda would bring the rest back to the village and rape Kaori and the rest.
Kyoko lifted the guns and retreated further, her gaze piercing: "No way! You guys have to stay here."
Honda's face sunk and he barked: "Do it! Capture her!"
The remaining thugs leaped into action, their eyes gleaming with a greedy and perverse look. They wanted to press this beautiful woman beneath their bodies and rape her thoroughly.
At this point, Kyoko also took action, as she took 5 steps back while firing her gun at the thugs.
Peng! Peng!
A few rounds penetrated the bodies of the thugs, and they fell on the ground, their blood flowing profusely.

"Go to hell!" The thugs knew that this was a critical moment, and they charged towards Kyoko in rage, intending to subdue her.
One of the thugs was an Agility-based Enhancer and his speed was faster than the rest. He was the first to reach Kyoko and made a grab for her viciously.
As the thug was about to grab her, Kyoko's eyes flashed with a chilly light, and she pulled out the incredibly sharp odachi by her waist, slicing the thug in two. Fresh blood splattered onto her, covering her beautiful looks with a huge bloody stench. It was as though she was a blood-coloured rose with thorns.
As they saw their comrade sliced in two, the lack of Kyoko's hesitation caused them to feel a chill in their hearts. They were momentarily stunned and stopped in their tracks. A person who could use guns and swords to kill was not easy to deal with.
Honda tried to shout: "Everybody! Attack! She's but one woman, after we conquer her, you guys can fuck her first! I'll be last!! We don't have a choice anymore, the moment that Chinese dog discovers that we want to escape, we will all be killed without fail!! Now's the best chance to do what we need to do!!"
With his words, the rest were pushed to step forwards, having lost their rationality.
Kyoko's eyes gleamed, and she employed a strange footwork, charging into the midst of the thugs like a female leopard. The odachi in her hand danced, and she began to slaughter the thugs.
Soon, the field was littered with corpses, while Kyoko stood alone. She was covered in blood and was panting slightly as she looked at the corpses.
As she looked around, her face turned pale and she began to double over near a tree and threw up whatever she ate the day before. It was the first time that she had actually slaughtered real humans, and seeing the result of her actions, she could not help but become nauseous.
There were 2 experts from the small Japanese village, one was Kyoko, the other was Kaori. They were both Enhancers. It was just that their levels were low. Kaori had been a kendo practitioner before the apocalypse, while Kyoko was a successor of the Tenshin-style sword arts. After becoming an Enhancer, she was even stronger than common Enhancers her level with her elite swordsmanship.
"Killing is truly unbearable!" Kyoko thought to herself. She had killed a number of zombies, but when it came to killing a live human, it was hard for her to accept.
Yue Zhong brought Muto Shin and the rest at that time, and he looked at Kyoko with a little surprise: "You didn't go?"
He had assumed that Kyoko would have left stealthily. After all, most modern people weren't willing to be another's slave. Just one look at a beauty like Kyoko would cause one to believe she had been brought up under the most care, and would definitely not be willing to submit to others.
"Your orders were to stay here." Kyoko looked straight at Yue Zhong and explained, before pointing to the corpses of the thugs and continuing: "These men not only tried to escape, they also wanted to make a move on me so I killed them. If I didn't handle it well, please punish me accordingly."
Yue Zhong chuckled mildly and threw a set of equipment to her: "Well done. This is your reward."
When Muto Shin saw the set of equipment, their eyes turned red. That was one of the equipment that Yue Zhong had obtained from one of the Deity-level experts of the Takama-ga-hara, it was sufficient to give a person a heaven-shaking transformation.
Upon receiving the equipment, a look of excitement passed in Kyoko's eyes and she could not help but express her gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for your gift!"
The set of equipment was enough to bolster her combat strength to at least 4 times her current power, so she was naturally excited.
"Let's go!" Yue Zhong did not even spare a glance for Honda's corpse as he continued forward.
The group continued their journey through the forest, and it wasn't long before over 100 Mutant Japanese Monkeys appeared.
This group of Mutant Japanese Monkeys was easily taken out by Kyoko who had worn the equipment. She also swiftly rose another 2 levels.
Due to the large areas that the forests covered in Japan, there were many Mutant Beasts and a wide diversity of life. Soon after they cleared the Mutant Japanese Monkeys, a whole group of lower level Mutant Lizards and Mutant Yellow Snakes appeared.
They were also quickly taken care of by Kyoko and the other Enhancers. Yue Zhong only struck out thrice to save Kyoko when she was in peril. After all, each and every single type and variant of the Mutant Beasts were not simple to deal with, without Yue Zhong's protection, Kyoko would have died thrice over.
"Kill!!"
"Wipe them out!!"
As Yue Zhong's group continued through the forest, they suddenly chanced upon enraged cries. He swiftly led them towards the source of the commotion.
Out in a field, there were 2 groups of Japanese survivors currently facing off against each other. There were over 100 people in one group, each of them wielding odachis and their movements were nimble. They were obviously Enhancers, just that their levels were not too high. The other group only had 60 of them, and they were on the losing end. There were only about 13 guns shared among them, and they were relying on these guns to hold their ground. Otherwise, they would have long been killed. In their midst, there were 20 women and children, which greatly affected their combat strength.
"So it was just dogs biting dogs!" Yue Zhong eyed the 2 groups without a look of concern.
Yue Zhong could see that there were only 2 Enhancers above Level 30 among the 2 groups, and facing such a group, he wouldn't even need to employ any skills. He could single handedly take them all out.
Just as Yue Zhong's group arrived to watch the events unfold, one of the Enhancers of above Level 35 had just chopped off the head of one gun-wielding Enhancer, breaking the stalemate.
Another gun-wielding survivor was suddenly stabbed in the back by a Level 36 Enhancer that had stealthily appeared behind him, striking his heart.
With the 2 defense points crumbling, the odachi-wielding survivors immediately surged forth like tigers, making their way towards the gun-wielding survivors.
Many of the survivors immediately abandoned their guns and kneeled to surrender. However, the odachi-wielding survivors just roared out with laughter and carried out their slaughter.
The female survivors within the losing group were dragged and thrown to the ground before being raped on the spot. Since the apocalypse began, many people had already succumbed to their inner demons, and these thugs were no exception.
"Grab them!!" Just then, the leader of the odachi-wielding group caught sight of Yue Zhong and his people, and he roared out.
Hearing that order, 60 of the assailants immediately made for Yue Zhong's direction.
"Kill them all!" Yue Zhong watched as they came closer, and gave a cold order to Muto Shin and his men.
"Hai!" Muto Shin immediately saluted and shouted to the rest in Japanese: "Yue Zhong-sama has ordered us to kill those trash. Charge with me!"
After that, he led the 6 Enhancers who were Divine Servants-level that had submitted to Yue Zhong and charged towards the assailants.
While these 7 Divine Servants might not be much to Yue Zhong, they were truly invincible existences when compared to ordinary survivors. As they charged into the midst of the enemy that were 10 times their number, their blades flashed about and the assailants were slaughtered mercilessly.
After all, Divine Servants were an elite group that was nurtured by the Takama-ga-hara faction through their resources. Their combat prowess was comparable to Yue Zhong's elite soldiers.
Muto Shin and the rest killed over 23 of the assailants before the rest started to feel the regret and tried escaping backward.
The Japanese leader saw this and a look of shock flashed past his face, as he muttered: "Why is it like this? Who are these people? How come they're so strong?!"
All of a sudden, a shadow shot down from a tree with lightning speed towards Yue Zhong. His speed had reached over 10 times that of a normal person. This was the Level 36 Enhancer that had assassinated the gun-wielding survivor earlier. Even an ordinary Level 40 Enhancer would not have a nice ending if caught unprepared.
Just as the shadow was about to reach Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong pulled out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade and slashed down.
The 2 parts of the body fell to the ground in a gory manner.
"Surrender!! I surrender!! Don't kill me!! I surrender!!" The Japanese leader watched in horror as his comrade of a similar level was taken out in one move, and his heart chilled. He immediately knelt down and began to beg for mercy.
The moment the leader surrendered, the rest of the assailants began to abandon their weapons and cry out for mercy as well.
"Go to hell!! Go to hell!! Go to hell!!" The 7 Takama-ga-hara Divine Servants continued to slaughter the assailants who had surrendered.
This Takama-ga-hara people were ruthless, and killing gave them a morbid sense of excitement and pleasure.
Kyoko watched on in horror and screamed out: "Stop it!! Stop killing!! They already surrendered!!"
Shin replied coldly: "Kyoko-san!! Yue Zhong-sama has given the order to wipe them all out. Without completing his order, we will not stop!!"
