Chapter 607: Zhao Jing Lei!
Translator: Editor:
Li Guang immediately asked Chen Feng Hua: "Elder Chen, that little bastard Huang Qi Shan just mentioned an alliance? What's going on? Also, how dare he come here?"
"Li Guang, you should also be clear. Within the Central Plains, us Chinese are not the ones in power. The Huangjin Clan, the Golden Wolf Triad, the Manchu Empire, these bastards are going everywhere attacking the Chinese establishments. Our fellow Han-people would then be treated as slaves."
"In order to change this, to give our Han-people a better life, our Chief Ximen had decided to step up and throw away his past notions, and established an alliance led by our own Han-people. He hopes to unite the factions of the Han-people, and resist the rest of the powers. With you here, it'll be perfect. Tomorrow is the day that the alliance will start. Our chief is heroic and magnanimous, and many other valiant heroes have arrived to take part. It would be a good time for you to join our Radiant Sun Triad. Once our Chief Ximen has united the country, then you're one of the founding fathers."
When Yue Zhong heard this, he thought to himself: "Alliance? They finally thought of that? Seems like this Ximen Lie is something else, to be able to gather the rest of the powers."
Uniting the Hans in an alliance, it was truly a decent idea. If they could rally all the Hans in the Central Plains, it would be a power not necessarily weaker than the Huangjin Clan or the other powers.
However, Yue Zhong did not look on it too favorably. After all, everyone had their private ambitions and thoughts, who would be willing to hand over their weapons and equipment to others?
Chen Feng Hua brought Li Guang and the rest to a villa, settling them in before leaving.
Li Guang then asked Yue Zhong: "Leader, Chen Feng Hua will bring us to see Ximen Lie later. Do we act then?"
Yue Zhong replied: "No! Let's change it to tomorrow. You go and put on a show of bargaining with Ximen Lie first, then join him. I'll go take a look around, and observe the situation."
Since Ximen Lie wanted to organize this alliance congregation, Yue Zhong wanted to make use of the chance to put on a big show.
Li Guang replied: "Yes!"
Tenpyo Saka was too beautiful, and in order not to cause any problems, Yue Zhong got her to stay within her room. He himself left and walked about.
On the streets, he began to walk while looking at what Tian Mu Town had to offer. It was similar to the many post-apocalyptic towns that he had already come across on his journeys, with many emaciated survivors in tattered clothes with downcast expressions.
Other than the soldiers, there were few shops, only some simple trading posts were set up. The whole atmosphere was dead, and not a sign of vitality was present.
"Ximen Lie lacks the talent to govern, he's not a good leader." Yue Zhong gave Ximen Lie an evaluation silently as he observed the town.
Like many leaders of the different factions, Ximen Lie was obviously troubled by the food issue. At the same time, he only gave rations to those in his army and his supporters. Ordinary survivors were ignored, or treated like slaves. Such a method was good in the sense that it ensured that the food expenditure was kept to a minimal, but the entire town would suffer as a result. All resources were dependent on what was left prior to the apocalypse, and there was no alternative or replenishment of resources. Once they ran out, the faction would crumble.
"Master! Come!! Half a bun, I'll make you feel good for just half a bun!"
"One packet of instant noodles, I'll accompany you for an entire night. You can play with me however you like, whatever you want to do.."
At every corner, on every street, a number of women who was reeking of odor, and had not bathed for goodness knows how long, began to surround Yue Zhong as they tried to flaunt themselves.
Yue Zhong walked past them with a deadpan expression. He was sympathetic, but he had no means to rescue them all right now.
All of a sudden, a bunch of kids began to swarm in a certain direction like bees.
Yue Zhong looked towards the direction, only to see a beautiful lady with long black hair and fair skin, as though she had just stepped out of a painting. She seemed about 15 or 16, and wore a saintly smile as she handed out buns to those kids.
A young man of about 15 or 16 stood beside her, dressed in black Mutant Beast leather, a huge blade hanging by his waist. He had a decent stature, and his looks pleasant, but he was complaining at the moment: "Leilei, this is food we went through trouble to get from a neighbouring town, how can you just give them out to these little rascals? Did you forget what we had to do? Ah Xin almost lost his life at the hands of that L3! Now that the Huangjin Clan, Manchu Empire and the Golden Wolf bastards are all expanding, it's getting harder to find food!"
"Zhang Ying, how many times have I said it, don't call me Leilei. Call me by my full name, Zhang Jing Lei." The beautiful girl frowned, before lightly sighing: "I know it's getting harder, but if we don't give these kids, they will starve to death. Furthermore, this is from my own portion, what does it have to do with you?"
When Zhang Ying heard those words, he bit his lips, clenching his fist, while staring at her. He had liked her for a long time already, but she did not reciprocate nor care about it, and this caused him to feel upset.
Another cute girl with a ponytail and some pimples on her face, with fair skin and big eyes stepped up to say: "Leilei, don't blame Zhang Ying, he's also concerned about you."
There were 9 other young men and women who tried to mediate.
"What the hell are you looking at? Be careful or I'll gouge out your eyeballs!" Zhang Ying suddenly saw Yue Zhong looking over, and his fury, with nowhere to go, were projected on him. He roared out like an enraged lion.
His crush had rejected him and ignored him, and the pent up anger was now being directed at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong glanced at Zhang Ying and shook his head, turning around to leave.
Truthfully, Yue Zhong did not agree with Zhao Jing Lei's actions. In this world, ration was extremely scarce and precious, one had to be mindful of it. When the team needed food, what would she do then? However, the matter had nothing to do with him, and he had no interest in meddling with a bunch of kids.
"Damn it!! You're looking for a beating!!" Zhang Ying saw Yue Zhong shaking his head, and he became even more angry, shooting forwards with a speed 11 times that of a person, intending to beat Yue Zhong.
Zhao Jing Lei did not expect Zhang Ying to act against Yue Zhong, and her face fell, shouting: "Stop!! Zhang Ying!!"
Yue Zhong immediately swiveled around, his hands grabbing Zhang Ying's forehead, his eyes flashing coldly, before flinging Zhang Ying's entire body towards a wall viciously. "Really! Now, all you little fuckers think you can do anything. Why don't I send you on your way to Hell, and let you join your family earlier? At the same time, they can discipline you properly."
Zhang Ying smashed into a wall like a cannon, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face turned pale, as he continued to cough out blood.
"What are you doing? You dare to harm our classmate! You're seeking death!!" 2 of the group shot out, 1 tall the other short, both wielding some strange bone blades as they roared out in fury. They activated their abilities, Wind Twist, and both became like hurricanes, shooting towards Yue Zhong.
Both of these rascals were Evolvers, their Wind Twist skill having been enhanced thrice. When both of them worked together, they could even take down Level 50 Evolvers easily.
"Scram!" Right as they got close to Yue Zhong, he kicked out twice swiftly, his terrifying Strength exploding out, and they both spat out blood as they crumpled to the ground.
Yue Zhong possessed speed that was 25 times that of a normal person, and far surpassed most Agility Evolvers. His combat experience was rich as well, and didn't need any fancy tactics or skills to deal with those 2 rascals.
"Zhang Ying!" The girl with the ponytail saw Zhang Ying's ugly expression and he shot out, turning into a shadow. At the next instant, she appeared next to Zhang Ying. Her skill was the rare Level 3 Flash Steps. She had already enhanced the skill 3 times, and could easily appear at a location within 20m.
The girl lifted the injured Zhang Ying up.
"Quick, take him away!! I'll block him!" Zhao Jing Lei saw how fearsome Yue Zhong was, and how his expression was frightening now, and she pulled out 2 silver blades, and disappeared like a shadow. Instantly, she appeared in front of Yue Zhong, the blades in her hands slashing towards Yue Zhong at a sharp angle.
"Fast! She's an Agility Evolver!" Facing Zhao Jing Lei's strike that was extremely fast, Yue Zhong was finally forced to whisk out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade to block her attack,
As the 3 blades clashed, a strange force spread from the curved blades of Zhao Jing Lei, as though threatening to spin Yue Zhong's blade away.
After that clash, Zhao Jing Lei's curved blades turned into silver hurricanes and enveloped Yue Zhong.
"Strong! This little girl, her strength is in close combat, and is comparable to the Demons of the Takama-ga-hara!"
Yue Zhong's speed had been enhanced multiple times, and was stronger than Zhao Jing Lei. His experience was also more abundant, and in most cases, he could easily dispatch an Evolver with a single move. However, when exchanging blows with this Zhao Jing Lei, he was actually being suppressed, unable to display his blade skills. The strange force was being exerted on his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade as well, making it hard for him.

Chapter 608: Gold Wolf Riders!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
One bespectacled girl gritted her teeth as she activated her ability, Gravity Manipulation, and a strong gravitational force pressed down on Yue Zhong, affecting his movements.
His eyes flashed coldly as he shot a glare at the girl.
When she was struck by his gaze, she felt like a terrifying bloodthirsty beast was staring at her, and her eyes widened in fear, as she retreated a few steps involuntarily.
When Zhao Jing Lei saw this, she shouted in alarm: "Tiantian! No!! Run!!"
Zhao Jing Lei was trying to pressure Yue Zhong with all her strength, and the fact that she could suppress him was due to her naturally awakened Second Order skill Heavenly Demon Blade. If she didn't use this, Yue Zhong could have easily slaughtered her in a move. Just in the few exchanges, she could already feel his unfathomable strength, that was waiting to rear its head.
The moment her words came out the mouth, Yue Zhong flashed and disappeared from in front of her, and a fist smashed into the midriff of the bespectacled girl.
The pretty girl instantly doubled over from the force and crumpled to the ground. When the rest of the youths witnessed this, they stepped back in horror.
Zhao Jing Lei's eyes flashed with a hint of madness and she chased after Yue Zhong like a goose, with her strange blade technique flashing towards him again: "Hurry and escape, all of you!!"
"Your strength is decent! But your discerning ability is truly lacking."
Yue Zhong activated his own Gravity Manipulation, and a strong gravitational force caused Zhao Jing Lei's entire body to sink.
At the next instant, Yue Zhong had already activated his Shadow Steps, and pushed his speed to the limit, evading Zhao Jing Lei's blow with ease, and his right hand grabbed onto her throat. He then barked coldly: "Throw down your weapon!!"
Zhao Jing Lei's expression turned extremely pale, gripping her silver blades tightly, not willing to let go. Her entire skill relied on these dual blades, and if she were to lose them, her combat strength would be reduced by over 70%.
"Leilei!!"
"Sister Lei!!"
"Let go of her!!"
The youths all looked helplessly and shouted when they saw Zhao Jing Lei's plight.
Yue Zhong kept his fingers clenched around Zhao Jing Lei's neck, and his voice was thick with killing intent: "I've already gone easy. If you want to continue resisting, you and your friends can forget about leaving alive today."
"Don't hurt them!!" Her face turned pale and she finally released her silver blades.
Looking at the pair of silver blades dropping on the ground, Yue Zhong then released his grip.
He looked at the rest of the youths and whisked out his Stinger: "I'll say it directly! Little rascals, I admire your strength and abilities. The price of offending me is to serve me for 2 years. After that, you'll be free to go."
Zhao Jing Lei's pale countenance finally regained some colour, and she asked: "We truly apologize for offending you today. May we please have another option? We're willing to look for rations as payback."
Yue Zhong aimed the Stinger at the pretty bespectacled girl still doubled over on the ground, his tone icy: "No! Serve me for 2 years, or die here. Your choice."
Zhao Jing Lei's strength was truly something else, Yue Zhong didn't wish for anything untoward to happen the next day.
Zhao Jing Lei gritted her teeth in frustration and stared back at Yue Zhong with a clear gaze: "Fine! I'll promise you. However, I'll make myself clear, we will not be your swords to be used for anything against morals! You cannot touch my friends, and must ensure their safety and well-being. You cannot skimp on our resources allocation as well."
Since the collapse of society, in the world where depravity was slowing consuming humanity, Yue Zhong had never seen such a clear pair of eyes before, and he couldn't help but be moved. He gave his word and threw a few Life-Saving Grass to her, before saying: "Fine! Come with me! This is for your wounds, give them to your friends, and they'll recover faster."
Zhao Jing Lei took up the medicine and hesitated a while, before using it on herself. She did not dare to give things with unknown sources to her friends. She might be kind, but she wasn't a fool.
A young oval-shaped face woman then suggested: "Sister Lei! Why don't we run now! I don't think he'll be able to catch us!"
The rest looked at her and awaited her decision. They were from the same school prior to the apocalypse, and have been moving together. If it wasn't for Zhao Jing Lei naturally awakening as an Evolver, they would have perished umpteen times. That was why their faith in her was so strong.
Zhao Jing Lei picked up the pair of blades, and looked at Yue Zhong's departing back. She hesitated a while, but in the end, shook her head: "No! Let's just observe for the time-being. Zhang Ying, Lei Tie, Zhao Yi, Tian Tian are all injured, we need some place to rest anyway."
With a single sentence, the rest of them did not push the case, and followed behind Yue Zhong as they came to the villa.
"What a pretty girl!" The moment they entered, they say Tenpyo Saka and they were shocked.
Zhao Jing Lei looked at Tenpyo Saka and shifted her gaze to Yue Zhong, becoming more guarded: "This fellow is definitely a pervert."
Tenpyo Saka looked back at them without any expressions, silently reading her Chinese textbook.
Ever since Takama-ga-hara wasn't willing to use their machines to exchange for Tenpyo Saka, she had become totally withdrawn, and was brought to China by Yue Zhong. He made her study Chinese, and she who had lost faith in what she believed in before gradually became accustomed to listening to Yue Zhong's commands.
He didn't force her to do anything, nor anything she disliked. He gave the basic courtesy as a human being as well. In return, although she didn't express her desire to work for him, she had already silently complied with his orders.
As the villa that Chen Fei Hua had arranged for them was big, Zhao Jing Lei and the rest found a room and moved in, taking care of their injured members.
Not long after, Li Guang who had gone to Ximen Lie's came back and reported to Yue Zhong.
Li Guang began his report: "Leader! As per your instructions, I've agreed to join Radiant Sun Triad. He had even gifted a beauty to pull me closer. Your subordinate did not dare reject and hence accepted the beauty. Your subordinate seeks your understanding."
Li Guang was also a powerful Evolver who had reached Level 42, and his experience was abundant. Together with his elite archer subordinates, they were considered a decent force out here in the Central Plains.
Yue Zhong smiled warmly and said: "Don't worry! Since he had already gifted you a beauty, she's yours. Those who work for me, will definitely be taken care of."
Li Guang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Leader!"
There were all sorts of people in this world, and some heads were selfish, and wanted dips on everything their subordinates had. Such leaders would not really gain any true followers.
Yue Zhong and Li Guang continued their discussion.
Within a golden tent far out in the Central Plains, a burly man with a long knife scar on his face wearing a yellow robe and an emperor crown on his head stared out with his gaze fierce and his expression grim. A few men stood in 2 rows on either side in front of him.
This was the Khan of the Great Turkic Empire Wu-er Tuo Tuo. He was already a member of the East Turkestan Separatist Party.
When he had awoken as a natural Evolver, he had swiftly subjugated the rest of the members in the East Turkestan Party and started expanding. Many nationalists and extremists lacked the platform prior to the apocalypse, but when the world changed, it was a good strategy to gather people.
Wu-er Tuo Tuo had then expanded pretty smoothly in the Xinjiang region, but the zombie hordes had continually attacked his base of operations. After countless clashes, they had been defeated and were forced towards the deeper parts of Mongol to resettle and expand again. The main force under their banner was the 40,000 Uygur youths that he had manipulated into being loyal to him.
Wu-er Tuo Tuo surveyed his men around him and spoke slowly but sternly: "The Radiant Sun Triad's Ximen Lie has organized a convention of the heroes, in order to form an alliance to defend against our Gold Wolf Riders. Who's willing to go in This Emperor's name, to take back the heads of these Han dogs, and turn Tian Mu Town into This Emperor's base?"
Ever since he had conquered the East Turkestan Party and proclaimed himself as king, he had started using the term 'This Emperor' to refer to himself, as a form of distinction between him and the common people.
(Translator notes: 朕 - an emperor's way of referring to himself. Some translators use the term 'We', but I'll just make it clear that he calls himself an emperor as an ego-complex thing.)
Another burly man with a deep-set gaze and high nose, stepped out and his voice rang out: "Great Kahn! Dong-er Molei is willing to go in Kahn's stead, to lead men and conquer Tian Mu Town, to kill the men and gift the women and children to Great Kahn!"
Dong-er Molei was also one of the members from the East Turkestan Party, and he killed without batting an eyelid. He was truly a great general, and had helped fight for Wu-er Tuo Tuo all the way. The number of survivors that had died at his hands truly numbered too many to count.
Wu-er Tuo Tuo roared out in laughter: "Good! Dong-er Molei, This Emperor will grant you 4,000 Gold Wolf Riders to attack Tian Mu Town, you must ensure that the grounds bleed with their blood. Gugani, you shall be his second-in-command, and to help him obtain Tian Mu Town.
While the Radiant Sun Triad had thousands of survivors, not everyone had weapons. 4,000 Gold Wolf Riders were more than enough to take down tens of thousands of a motley bunch. Wu-er Tuo Tuo was thus extremely confident in his soldiers.
Another man with a medium-statured who looked like an ordinary Han person replied respectfully: "Yes! My liege! Your subordinate will definitely assist Dong-er Molei!"
Dong-er Molei's expression was solemn as he looked back at Wu-er Tuo Tuo, not saying anything.
Before the apocalypse, their relationship had been good, and could speak freely. However, since proclaiming himself as Emperor, Wu-er Tuo Tuo had thus gained much prestige, and Dong-er Molei did not dare to be on casual terms any longer.
The 4,000 Gold Wolf Riders thus rode out in a cloud of dust.
In a small villa that stood on its own, there were hundreds of people gathered. These were the various solo warriors from all over the plains, as well as some members from the Blue Triad, Red Triad, and various other gangs.
Xinmen Lie had invited all the various heroes together, with the pretext of fending off the other powers with their own Han people, while in fact bolstering his own strength.
In truth, the number of Hans out here in the Central Plains were truly numerous, however, the powers were all scattered, and had no way of contending against the united forces of the Gold Wolf Riders, or the Huangjin Clan, or even the Manchu Empire.
If they truly all gathered, they would become a force to be reckon with, that was larger than the rest of the factions.
It was precisely because of this, that the rest of the factions would choose to band together to annihilate any outstanding Han hero even while fighting amongst themselves.
In the villa, in preparation for the congregation, there was a stage set up, with 10 seats. Below the stage, 2 long tables were set up, where the various heroes had gathered. Only the well-known Han experts had the qualifications to sit at that table. Someone like Yue Zhong who was not well-known around these parts could only stand aside.
Barbequed lamb, beef, milk, were brought out by numerous beautiful servants. The various heroes began to grab the meat and ate without a care for their image.
After the apocalypse, the lives of these solo wanderers had been extremely tough. Most of the cattle out in the Central Plains were owned by various factions. The game in the wild were tough and vicious Mutant Beasts. In the cities, there were still many zombies roaming about. Even Evolvers faced the possibility of dying. Therefore, these solo wanderers were forced to be bandits, otherwise they would die of hunger. Even in the event that they successfully hunt down some Mutant Beasts, they could only bring it back to sell it to the larger factions who usually exploit them.
Many of them lived meal to meal, now that they were invited to this feast, they would naturally not hold back.
As they ate, the leaders of the other factions eyed each other and began to engage in quarrels. The entire scene was like a huge marketplace. There were many of them who did not like to study when they were younger, and were coarse and boorish people. The curses thrown got more vulgar and coarse as time passed.
There were many strong rice buckets who were here, but at the same time, there were true powerful Evolvers like Zhao Jing Lei.
Yue Zhong stood quietly and observed the people, noting many of the useless loudmouths, but at the same time, discovering some true talents.

Chapter 609: Alliance Meeting!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
There were many snakes and dragons mixed into the crowd, and Yue Zhong discovered 12 experts. His senses told him that they were different from the rest.
"Who's that?" Yue Zhong pointed to one young man of about 21 who was dressed in white, a long sword on his back, his brows thick and powerful, his features unique. There was a proud aura about him, causing Yue Zhong to ask Li Guang.
There were few people who used swords, Yue Zhong mostly came across blade users, as the God and Devil system usually generated the Tang Replica Sword. Of course, there were other sort of weapons that dropped once in awhile. However, in Guang Xi and Hunan, most of the low-level warlords prefered the Tang Replica Swords.
(Translator Note: There are different words for swords and blades in Chinese. The author was referring to this when he talked about blades 刀, even if he referred to them as Tang Replica Swords. The word 剑 refers to this, widely seen in wuxia)
Li Guang looked at the youth and muttered: "That's the Sword Master, Pi Jian Yi. It's rumored that he had killed an L3 with a single sword slash. He's unparalleled in close combat, his sword skills are truly top-notch. No one can win him in a close-combat fight. Any enemy of his had been killed. Of course, he might be arrogant but not stupid. He had never antagonize any major power. I didn't expect him to come."
"What about that person?" Yue Zhong looked another burly-looking man, who had a 3m hammer beside him. He was wearing a sleeveless warrior's clothing, revealing a large amount of chest hair. His entire body was covered in scars, and he was gorging on the meat.
"That's Big Bear Qin Zhen! He has fearsome strength, and it's rumored that the hammer beside him weighs over 500kg. He could easily flatten an L2, and is someone not easy to deal with as well."
As Li Guang continued to introduce the characters that Yue Zhong took notice of, 10 Enhancers came to the stage and sat down.
The seats on the stage were set up specifically for the various leaders of the major Han factions. Only those who had over a thousand people under them had the qualifications to sit on those seats.
This time, Ximen Lie had invited the leaders of the 10 largest tribes, namely the Heaven's Wheel Sect, the Scarlet Sun Sect, the Universal Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Red Triad, the Blue Triad, the Golden Wolf Triad, the Pink Triad, the Green Bamboo Triad, and himself of the Radiant Sun Triad.
Of the 10 leaders, 8 were male, while the leaders of the Pink Triad and Green Bamboo Triad were female. Yue Zhong cast a slightly longer gaze at these 2.
The chief of the Pink Triad was an ordinary woman with an ordinary physique, however, her eyes radiated with intelligence. The leader of the Green Bamboo Triad was a tall woman of 1.9m, her entire body rippling with muscles, her waist thicker than a vat, and her expression grim. It seemed that not all women leaders were as ravishing as Ding Mei or Shangguan Bing Xue.
One middle-aged man who was dressed in a suit and had shiny black hair, with a restrained aura spoke up with a slight smile: "Welcome to the Alliance gathering today, I'm your host, Chief Ximen Lie from the Radiant Sun Triad. I'm honored to meet you heroes."
The moment he appeared, a strange atmosphere overcame the entire venue, as everyone piped down subconsciously, as all arguments came to a halt.
Yue Zhong could feel the Spiritual pulse from Ximen Lie's words: "Spirit Fluctuations. This is a Spirit-based ability. Seems like Ximen Lie has some moves."
When he finished, the rest of the leaders began to introduce themselves, allowing the rest of the audience to get to know them.
"Everybody! Heed my words! Out here in the Central Plains, the Turkic Empire's Gold Wolf Riders, the Mongol King's Huangjin Clan, and the Manchu Empire 8 Flag's Army have been treating us Han people like sheep. Every day, our fellow Hans people are being assaulted by them. Each time, the men would be killed, the women and children would be whisked away to become slaves, and tortured at their hands. If this goes on, the entire Central Plains will become their hunting grounds, and we Han-people will be the lowest of the low!"
"Our Han-people are hardworking, kind and brave! We're not necessarily worse off than the Turks or Mongols or even the Manchurians! We have hot-blooded warriors, and powerful heroes. As to why we have ended up today's state, is because we have allowed minor squabbles to tear us apart! As long as we work together, we can definitely become the largest power here in the Central Plains, and step over all of the rest!"
"It's precisely due to this, that I've announced this gathering, to form an alliance, gather the various heroes from all over the Central Plains, and work together to deal with the Turks, Mongols or the Manchurians! Thank you!" Ximen Lie's passionate speech resounded all over the venue.
After Ximen Lie finished speaking, the venue broke out in resounding applause.
The other factions were well-known for capturing people of other races as slaves, allowing their own people to lead better lives. Such a strategy would strengthen their own people, while suppressing the other races. Thus, the unity between their own people would strengthen.
However, it was at the cost of the other races. No one was willing to be a slave. Especially since the world had modernized and received education. The current slaves were all forced against their will due to strength.
When many of those who had smaller factions out in the Central Plains thought about the possibility of their own bases being destroyed, and becoming slaves to the other 3 great factions, they couldn't help but shudder. This was why they all responded to this call to form an alliance.
Zhao Jing Lei heard Ximen Lie's nationalistic words and frowned as she sighed slightly: "Why do we have to eliminate the Turks, Mongols and Manchurians? Aren't we all Chinese? Why must we kill amongst ourselves?"
Yue Zhong eyed the naive girl and responded coolly: "Simple! Everyone just wants to live better lives, no one wants to become anyone's slaves. To those who cannot be reasoned with, only strength can force them to listen. If you don't kill them, they will kill you."
"Only by becoming an existence more powerful than them, will you be able to talk about peace. Since the 3 other factions want to kill us, we should just kill them. Simple as that. Don't make it too complicated."
Yue Zhong did not like the internal strife, however, if there was somebody who chose to block his path, he would not show them any mercy. As long as it was an enemy, he would stop at nothing to eradicate them, regardless of who they were or where they came from. Even if some Han people wanted to bar his path, he would kill.
Since nobody really disagreed or objected, the motion to form an alliance was pushed through, and every faction present agreed to join.
In truth, everyone had already known about this beforehand, and those who had participated were of a mind to join. After all, strength in numbers. Those who weren't interested would not have sent anybody over.
One particular hero called out: "Chief Ximen is a hero of our times, wise and valiant. He had brought the Radiant Sun Triad to constantly fend off the 3 factions, and possesses abundant experience. I vote for him to be our alliance leader, and lead us to defeat the other 3 factions! To unite the Central Plains, to conquer the country and build a new China!!"
"Ximen Lie is wise and valiant, I vote for him to be our leader too!!"
"No way!! I vote for my Red Triad's Chief Huang Xue Yi to be the leader. He's a man of intelligence and had been an official in the government before the apocalypse. He has strong governance skill and experience. With him as the chief, wouldn't the alliance soar quickly?"
"Pei! Huang Xue Yi is an old lecher that lusts after women, he spends his time all over his women, how would he be in charge of the alliance? I reckon the chief of the Golden Wolf Triad Mu Tang to be the Alliance Leader. Chief Mu is young and promising, his energy strong and full of vitality, and his combat prowess truly unrivalled amongst his peers. As long as he is the Chief, the alliance would definitely become powerful!"
One by one, the various members of the audience began to argue for their own nominations, with many of the secret accomplices that the leaders had sent out beforehand to try and rally for their own backing.
The leaders watched the commotion without any sign of stopping them.
Sword Master Pi Jian Yi stepped out and his voice rang: "Everybody, silence!"
His voice carried a strange force that immediately overpowered the entire venue.
Everyone's gaze fell onto Pi Jian Yi.
He spoke arrogantly: "Out here, the strong prey on the weak. I feel, that the Alliance Leader should be the strongest person! Let me suggest a competition of martial arts, to compete for the strongest position, and the winner will be the leader!"
"I agree! A competition is great!"
"Me too!"
Those rowdy men who had been hollering over one another immediately burst out in appreciative laughter.
One hero stood up to shake his head: "I object, what era are we in? Martial Arts competition? A person strength could not single-handedly fight an entire army. I recommend that Chief Ximen with the most number of survivors under him to be the leader!"
The entire venue again fell into chaos. Many argue fervently. These were all leaders of their own factions with survivors depending on them, who would be willing to give their position of authority up?
Yue Zhong observed coldly, and he knew that the solo wander Pi Jian Yi would definitely not be able to become the leader. It was likely that it would be one of those in the larger factions.

Chapter 610: Attack of the Gold Wolf Riders!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
"Everyone, quieten down!" Ximen Lie's sonorous voice rang out, and the noise soon died down. He then wore a smile and said: "Alright. Let's do this. We shall all vote, the person who garners the most vote will become the leader, it's the fairest. What does everyone think?"
"Good!! Let's do that!!"
"Alright! That is democratic!!"
Many people sounded their approval, and the suggestions of those solo warriors like Pi Jian Yi were suppressed.
Hearing the cheers, Ximen Lie's face blossomed in a strange smile. Most of the powers here had been pulled over by him, as long as they went with this method, he would be sure to become the alliance chief.
Right at this moment, a soldier suddenly hastened up the podium and reported: "Chief!! Not good! The Gold Wolf Riders are rushing over now!! There're over thousands of them!!"
"What?! The Gold Wolf Riders are here?!" Ximen Lie's face changed when he heard that.
The Radiant Sun Sect had 7,000 people, of which, most of them were survivors. The true warriors and fighters were only about 800 people. And out of these 800, only 200 had guns, and about 20 machine guns.
Gold Wolf Riders were the elites of the Turkic Empire, and they had guns. Goodness knows how many establishments had been raided by them. They were ferocious and violent, and when Ximen Lie heard their name, his expression turned ugly.
"Gold Wolf Riders!!"
"Are they here?!"
"How did it become like this?! I wouldn't have come if I knew!!"
"It's over!! We're over!!"
When they heard that the Gold Wolf Riders were on their way, the various small-time leaders and solo wanderers became frightened. The infamous Gold Wolf Riders were associated with death and massacre.
Many notable Han experts had fallen at their hands. After all, no matter how strong a person was, he couldn't stand up against an army. Furthermore, in most of the clashes, the Gold Wolf Riders had their fair share of experts.
Huang Xue Yi, the chief of Red Triad, suddenly shouted: "I recommend Chief Ximen to be the leader of the alliance!!"
Mu Tang of the Golden Wolf Triad also exclaimed: "Right! Chief Ximen is truly a hero, he should be able to lead us to defeat the enemy!"
The leaders of the 10 largest triads who had been keeping quiet, began to vote for Ximen Lie to become the Alliance Leader.
If the Gold Wolf Riders were to really breach Tian Mu Town, then the Alliance Leader would surely die. The alluring role of the Alliance Leader was now a sacrificial position, avoided by all of them.
"A bunch of fools!! If they were to breach, you think you can live on?" Ximen Lie was not an idiot, and he knew what they were after. His face, however, maintained a peaceful expression as he replied: "The matter of the alliance chief is too important, we will need to reconsider this. I feel that we should get someone with abundant experience to lead us. Chief Huang, you're the perfect person for this, only you can take on this role."
Huang Xue Yi immediately rejected: "No! No!! This time, you organized this gathering, you're the one most suitable to be the leader. Don't reject the appointment, otherwise, you're truly letting down all of the heroes here!!"
As the various leaders pushed and pulled, Yue Zhong stepped out and barked out: "Since you all aren't willing, I'll take it on!"
Ximen Lie's eyes brightened up, as he spoke to Yue Zhong amicably: "This little brother, how should we address you?"
Yue Zhong replied indifferently: "Yue Zhong!"
"Courageous!!" Ximen Lie praised, and exchanged glances with the rest of the leaders: "This young hero Yue Zhong has courage beyond his peers, and famed, I recommend him to be the first Alliance Leader, what does everyone think?"
"Good!! Good!! I agree!!"
"I agree!!"
The rest of them expressed their consent, looking at Yue Zhong as though pitying him as a dead fool.
Without any hesitation, Yue Zhong immediately called on the 12 people he had taken note of: "Good! I'm now the Alliance Chief. Pi Jian Yi, Qin Zhen, Zhou Yi, Jiang Yi, Gu Tao, Pan Sheng, Luo Ding, He Yi, Jiang Fang, Pan Ling, Pan Da Shi, Zhou Mu. The 12 of you will form the Guards, joining my troops and strength. Come with me to the frontlines to kill the enemies. Your direct supervisor will be this lady, Tenpyo Saka."
Yue Zhong swept his gaze across the 12 of them, before saying: "Those who're willing to join me in killing those bastards, come over, those who don't, you better scram far!"
He then spoke to the leaders of the factions with a tone of finality: "As for you guys! All the triads will now be as they are, the rest of the warriors here are to form the Dragon Fang Battalion. The Dragon Fang Battalion will be under the charge of Li Guang. Li Guang, stay behind and organize them. Ximen Lie, the rest of you, come to the frontlines with me."
At this time, one person with a weird temper and disposition stepped out from the hundreds of warriors: "Who the fuck are you? How dare you command us?"
Yue Zhong whisked out his Stinger and pulled the trigger without batting an eyelid.
Peng!
Following the loud gunshot, the man's brain was splattered all over the ground, his headless corpse crumpling.
He then swept his gaze past everybody with a strong killing intent billowing: "I'm now the Alliance Chief of the Great Han Alliance. I have taken on the responsibility to lead everyone to destroy the 3 other factions, and have the authority to mobilize everyone here. Those who disobey, will be considered as traitors, and disloyal dogs. Death to those people, and their families will be branded as slaves. Anyone else has any opinions?"
Seeing how Yue Zhong had disposed of the one guy that had just questioned him, everyone's heart was chilled to the very core. They had seen how fast his actions were, and not many could actually make out his movements.
"Damn it! Did I just invite a wolf into the den?" Ximen Lie watched Yue Zhong, his heart filled with a growing chill. He turned to eye Li Guang, and had a bad feeling about this.
The rest of the 9 leaders saw how decisive and clean Yue Zhong had dealt with opposition, and their hearts were also shocked. However, with the imminent attack by the Gold Wolf Riders, and the fact that Yue Zhong's strength seemed to be beyond their imagination, they maintained their cool.
As for the 12 experts pointed out especially by Yue Zhong, they were filled with different emotions. Initially, they had viewed him with contempt and disregard, but the moment he displayed his strength and charisma, their attitudes towards him changed.
"If no one has any other views, then let's move! Come with me!" Yue Zhong barked out coldly, and left the hall.
Ximen Lie and the rest of the leaders followed after.
Out of the 12 that Yue Zhong had called for, 10 hesitated a while, before following him as well, leaving behind Pi Jian Yi who had a strange expression, and a young monk.
The monk looked towards Pi Jian Yi, before placing his palms together and said: "Amitabha! This small monk here would have to engage in killing after all! Brother Pi, this small monk will make a move first." He then marched out right after Yue Zhong.
Pi Jian Yi's countenance flickered before he gritted his teeth and chased after as well: "Ah forget it!! This time, it's to go kill those bastard! It's definitely not because I'm obeying his orders!!"
Tian Mu Town's fortification was pretty decent, and since Ximen Lie knew the dangers of being in the Central Plains, he had no way of obtaining decent firepower, hence he focused on the fortifications.
Yue Zhong led the people towards a high vantage point. His eyesight had been enhanced, and could clearly see the approaching Gold Wolf Riders in the distance.
On the platform, when the rest of the leaders caught sight of the approaching enemies, their faces were extremely ugly. This was the infamous Gold Wolf Riders army!
Yue Zhong's face remained impassive, as he waved his hands, and pulled out a Barrett Sniper rifle. He took a quick aim and fired.
Peng!
Following that gunshot, one rider was immediately pierced through the chest and fell from his horse.
It was a difficult feat even for Yue Zhong to get a headshot on riders at such a distance away. However, aiming for the body was definitely easier. He didn't need to specially kill them after all, as surviving casualties were more of a problem than dead comrades.
Yue Zhong killed 3 more riders and ordered coldly: "Convey my orders, all snipers are to attack!"
Zhou Yi, one of the 12, stepped out silently with his Falcon Sniper, and began sniping.
Peng!
Peng!
Under his deadly aim, the Gold Wolf Riders began to fall one by one. His speed of sniping was even faster than Yue Zhong by 3 times.
"Snipers!! Snipers, attack!!" Ximen Lie also hollered out.
Within the Radiant Sun Triad there were 5 snipers , at the same time, another 13 snipers from the rest of the 9 great triads stepped forwards and began firing.
Under the rain of bullets, a number of strong killers of the Gold Wolf Riders fell in pools of their own blood.
The devastation caused by 20 elite snipers was truly scary, within a while, over 80 Gold Wolf Riders had fallen.
Seeing this, Dong-Er Molei's eyes turned bloodshot and he barked: "Charge!! Everyone charge!! As long as we charge, it will be our world at our fingertips! After conquering Tian Mu Town, you guys will be able to do whatever y'all want for 3 days. The first to enter the town and kill them would be awarded 10 bulls, 2 beautiful virgins, and a promotion of 3 ranks!!"
Under that passionate riling and the attraction of the rewards, the Gold Wolf Riders let out a resounding cheer and began to charge towards Tian Mu Town like a gust of wind.
Right as they were about to breach the town and unleash a massacre, half circles appeared all around the wooden fence surrounding Tian Mu Town, revealing numerous gunmen, the firepower intended to support the defense.
From the fortification, a hail of bullets rained out, blanketing the approaching Gold Wolf Riders.

Chapter 611: Fierce Dong-Er Molei!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
"Haha! What a fool!! What era are we already in, still using such tactics to breach the town!!"
"Scram back and go suck a tit!! Fools!!"
"Hahaha, those fools actually dare charge in a city on horseback, it's the first time I've seen such idiocy!!"
"So, it turns out that the infamous Gold Wolf Riders are only soso!"
When the various warriors on the platform looked at how the Gold Wolf Riders were throwing themselves at the city while being punched full of holes, their fear in their eyes dissipated, instead, they began roaring with laughter.
Ximen Lie stared at those riders and his eyes were filled with contempt: "Their prestige truly surpasses them!! Who would have known that the famed Gold Wolf Riders had actually been turned into livestock for slaughter in front of my Tian Mu Town!"
Huang Xue Yi of the Red Triad was the one that spoke fairly: "Theses Gold Wolf Riders are well-known for their drawn out battles, while breaching a city isn't really their strength. The current leader of this troop must have been too arrogant, and thought they could charge in and end this quickly."
It was as per Huang Xue Yi's words. If it were out in the wild, the 4,000 elite soldiers of the Gold Wolf Riders could definitely crush the forces of Tian Mu Town. However, under the circumstances where they lacked the heavy firepower, it was pure stupidity to use the riders themselves to try and charge down the city walls.
"The leader of the Gold Wolf Riders wouldn't be this dumb right?" Yue Zhong continued to take down the Gold Wolf Riders one by one, but he continued to observe them carefully. He had a feeling that these warriors weren't so simple, otherwise, how could so many Han factions fall at their hands?
At this distance, Yue Zhong's accuracy was terrifying. Each and every shot of his would be a headshot.
Dong-Er Molei looked his troops falling one by one, his eyes bloodshot as he screamed out: "Saint Wolf Riders!! Charge!! Kill these Han dogs! The entire Central Plains belong to our great Turkic Empire!! Long Live the Great Turkic Empire!!"
"Long live the Great Turkic Empire!!"
"Long live the Great Turkic Empire!!"
The Gold Wolf Riders began to roar out with passion and fervor. They had been totally brainwashed by Dong-Er Molei, and had become ardent supporters of the rise of the Turkic Empire. To them, dying on the battlefield for the cause of the Turkic Empire was an honor.
In this apocalypse, with the crumbling of society, and corruption of morals and principles, everyone did not know what the future holds. Amidst that fear, many seek some form of hope. That was why triads and sects appeared. These warriors of the Gold Wolf Triad had all been ordinary Turkic Uyghur youths, however, under the brainwashing of Dong-Er Moleo, they had become passionate extremists for their empire.
In truth, Yue Zhong had such forces within his subordinates as well. Those Youth Guards that he created usually consisted of his ardent supporters. They were willing to fight to the death for him. The younger they were, the more hot-blooded. In the recent history of China, it was due to many passionate and hot-blooded youths that sacrificed their blood and sweat to help form China.
Suddenly, a warrior charged out from the midst of the 4,000 Gold Wolf Riders, his entire body decked in yellow, with a wolf possessing a single horn sewn on his chest. These warriors with the single-horn wolves on their chest were the Saint Wolf Riders amongst the Gold Wolf Riders, the elites of the elites.
A bullet slammed into the body of one Saint Wolf Rider, causing him to fall on the ground. However, he stood up after a while, and continued onward, making his way for Tian Mu Town like a zombie.
The 200 Saint Wolf Riders braved the rain of bullets and charged right at the gates of Tian Mu Town. They raised their fingers and pointed to the walls, and the numerous Ground Spike Rings on their fingers lit up, as countless earth spikes shot from the ground, piercing the soldiers within the defense bunkers.
Within the bunkers, the wretched screams sounded out, and the firepower of Tian Mu Town decreased substantially.
Seeing this, the expressions of the people within the walls turned ugly. If the defensive bunkers were taken out, then everyone within the town would definitely face death.
Yue Zhong eyed the experts of the 10 great factions and ordered: "Ximen Lie, Fei Tu, Zhao Li, Gu Li Xian, Huang Xue Yi, Mu Tang, Hua Yi, Dong Feng, Zhang Yuan Yuan, Ma Bu Lie, bring your men and come with me. Kill all Gold Wolf Riders that breach the city. Li Guang, prepare the reinforcements, without my order, do not move them! Charge with me, those who don't will die!"
After that, Yue Zhong led the 12 Guards towards the battlefield.
Hearing Yue Zhong's orders, the eyes of the 10 leaders flashed with displeasure, but seeing Yue Zhong charge into the frontlines himself, they had nothing to say, and could only grit their teeth to follow.
"Go die!! Han dog!!"
The moment Yue Zhong appeared on the battlefield, 4 Saint Wolf Riders bellowed and raised their curved blades, shooting towards Yue Zhong and swinging down like meteors.
Yue Zhong pulled out his Black Tooth Blade that had been enhanced till Level 5, and easily met their blows, his blade slashing across their bodies.
At the next instant, all 4 were sliced in 2, their blood and organs splattering all over the ground. It was a gory sight.
After disposing of those 4 in a second, he walked towards the rest of the Saint Wolf Riders, and his blade continued to flash about, as the Saint Wolf Rider experts began to fall apart in halves!
"Sick!! This man dared to take the lead, he truly does possess the qualities to lead as an Alliance Chief!"
The 12 Guards that were following behind Yue Zhong saw how easily he was slaughtering the Saint Wolf Riders and were shocked.
However, they were peak experts out here in the Central Plains as well, being powerful Evolvers, each of their levels exceeding 56. They were naturally proud and arrogant. Watching Yue Zhong slaughter the soldiers, each of them suddenly felt the competitive to try and outdo one another, and they all charged at the Saint Wolf Riders.
One Saint Wolf Rider raised his huge hammer and charged at Pi Jian Yi with a wind-like speed, his hammer swinging fast.
"Seeking death!" Pi Jian Yi's eyes flashed with an icy light, and he shot forwards, his sword at his waist slashing out like a poisonous snake. It speed was faster than a shooting star, and the unfortunate rider and his mount seemed to be placed through a meat grinder, as they were chopped up within seconds.
After explosively killing that Saint Wolf Rider, Pi Jian Yi was still untouched, without a single speck of dust nor dirt. It was truly an awesome and carefree sight.
On the other side, Big Bear Qin Zhen was swinging his own 3m hammer, like a human-sized tank as the 500kg hammer was basically dancing around like a needle, but the unfortunate Saint Wolf Riders were pulverized beneath that weight.
Pan Ling, an ordinary looking middle-aged woman who was dressed in black armor, wielded a Bronze Bow and fired continually at the Saint Wolf Riders, knocking them down.
"Amitabha! Forgive my sins! Forgive my sins! Please die!" The monk Pan Sheng continued to strike out with his fists empowered by some art, blasting the Saint Wolf Riders off the mounts, while their insides imploded from the terrifying strength.
The leaders of the 10 factions had also led their own men into the fray. By relying on the pressure of the bunkers, the majority of the Gold Wolf Riders were unable to charge into the town yet, otherwise, they would all be buried.
Yue Zhong and his team had easily killed over 200 of the Gold Wolf Riders elite warriors. Such a loss was extremely devastating to the Gold Wolf Riders. Should they breach the city, they would surely unleash their wrath and pent up frustrations. There would only be one outcome, that was a massacre!
The leaders of the 10 factions have heard about the exploits of the 3 empires, and they dreaded to think of their own fates.
The Red Triad's chief Huang Xue Yi had also charged into the battle, his ability was the Firearms Manipulation. He wielded dual guns, and continued to fire without stopping, causing numerous Saint Wolf Riders to lose their heads. These Saint Wolf Riders had thick armor over their bodies, but their faces had no protection.
The 20 Red Triad experts beside Huang Xue Yi had formed a small circle to protect him, and supported him with all sorts of other abilities. They managed to wipe out dozens of the Saint Wolf Riders, and only lost 3 of their members to the enemy. They were not overly frenzied in their charge, instead, they proceeded with caution, and focused their attacks, bringing the Saint Wolf Riders down one by one.
All of a sudden, Dong-Er Molei, whose entire body was covered in the fresh blood of his enemies, stared at Huang Xue Yi and his group with a ferocious stare like a demon as he growled: "Just based on you trash? Han dogs, you dare to kill me subordinates, today you will all be buried here!!"
"Kill him!" Huang Xue Yi stared at Dong-Er Molei, his heart overcome with a thick, icy intent. He hollered once, and fired continuously with his guns.
Dong-Er Molei's huge mace swung out and deflected the bullets. By the time the mace was back on the ground, there was a bronze ghost mask on his face.
There were 7 experts well-versed in shooting beside Huang Xue Yi as well, and they all began to fire non-stop.
Rounds after rounds rained on the body of Dong-Er Molei, serving only to bounce of his body, as though there was no effect.
"Go to hell!" Dong-Er Molei laughed savagely, and activated his Charge ability, instantly making for Huang Xue Yi, his momentum building up. At first, it was 6 times the speed of a normal person. In just 4 breaths of time, it had risen to about 23 times that of a person.
One of the high-level Enhancers beside Huang Xue Yi activated his ability, Rock Wall, causing a earthen wall to materialize in front of Huang Xue Yi.
"Peng!" Dong-Er Molei's mace slammed into the wall, causing it to disintegrate entirely, and he appeared in front of Huang Xue Yi, laughing savagely, and swung the huge mace downwards viciously.
A look of despair flashed past Huang Xue Yi's eyes, when suddenly a bright shield of light appeared in front of him, protecting him.
The huge mace of Dong-Er Molei slammed into the shield of light, shattering it, before continuing in its trajectory, and pulverized Huang Xue Yi into minced meat.
After smashing Huang Xue Yi dead, he quickly swung it all around him, and killed 6 other Enhancers. When the forces of the Red Triad saw that things were turning bad, they quickly scattered.
At this time, 50 Saint Wolf Riders charged out from behind Dong-Er Molei and chased the Red Triad members down.
Dong-Er Molei's eyes lit up in bloodlust as he roared: "Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! Kill all the Han dogs!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The 50 Saint Wolf Riders roared out after him.
With an enraged bellow, Dong-Er Molei led his forces towards the Blue Triad.
"No!!!" The chief of the Blue Triad Zhang Yuan Yuan also had a look of despair, before the huge mace came swinging down on his head, smashing him dead.
Blood splattered all over Dong-Er Molei's body, giving him a terrifying appearance.
"Haha!! Han dogs are weak!! Haha!!" Dong-Er Molei roared out with mad laughter in the midst of corpses, looking like a demon.
Dong-Er Molei was after all the most prominent Evolver amongst the Gold Wolf Riders, being a Strength and Endurance dual-attribute Evolver. At the same time, he possessed many strength-based skills abd abilities. Many experts had fallen at his hands. He led the Saint Wolf Riders as they rampaged all over the battlefield, killing the leaders of the Scarlet Sun Sect and Universal Sect. Many of the Gold Wolf Riders following him charged through Tian Mu Town.
At this time, the battle had reached a powerful climax, every second, there would be Gold Wolf Riders being killed, at the same time, the various heroes and experts of the triads and sects were also dying.
Under Dong-Er Mo Lei's heavy assault, the remaining 6 triads were being beaten back, and their morale was decreasing.
Waving his mace, Dong-Er Molei charged through the ranks of the remaining 6 triads, smashing a warrior into pulp. He suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis, and twisted his body, as a shield of light appeared in front of his body.
Hong!
A Stinger bullet round smashed into the shield of light, causing it to shudder.
Dong-Er Molei turned and saw Yue Zhong eyeing him coldly with the Stinger in his hands.
"It's you!! Damn Han dog, you dare to try assassinate me!! Watch how I tear you into pieces!!" Dong-Er Molei laughed savagely, and activated his Charge ability again, making his way for Yue Zhong like a human tank.
The 50 Saint Wolf Riders beside Dong-Er Molei was made up on men and women, and were top Enhancers and Evolvers of the Turkic Empire. They followed after Dong-Er Molei, charging for Yue Zhong and his 12 experts.

Chapter 612: Repelling the Gold Wolf Riders!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
The warriors by Dong-Er Molei's side were all peak experts of the Turkic Empire. Among them, 8 of them possessed a combat strength not weaker than Pi Jian Yi. The remaining 42 might not necessarily be a match for Pi Jian Yi and the rest individually, but as a team, they were more than enough to deal with them.
Both sides immediately went all out in a crazy slaughter, as terrifying sword beams, shadow flickers, summoned beasts, flashing of silhouettes, rising flame pillars and all sorts of abilities were all exhibited.
Dong-Er Molei had become a terrifying human-shaped tank that was constantly using his Charge ability, making a beeline for Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, as he activated his Art of Fear, and a terrifying pressure assaulted Dong-Er Molei's mind.
The Art of Fear skill was the bet to deal with Strength and Agility-type Enhancers. If the opponent did not take care of his Spirit, no matter how high their Strength or Agility, they would be instantly killed by Yue Zhong.
That powerful spiritual attack blasted Dong-Er Molei, and in response, a white light radiated, causing the attack to dissipate.
"It's useless!! All Spirit-based attacks are useless to me! Fool!!" Dong-Er Molei's speed was enhanced under his Charge attack, and had reached 25 times that of a normal human. He grinned savagely, and his heavy mace swung up, intending to crush Yue Zhong with a Mt. Tai-like strength.
With the support of his ability, and the crazy speed he had reached, the mace swung down at a speed that broke the sound-barrier. So far, not a single person had been able to withstand a single strike of his.
A powerful body, terrifying strength, in addition to the thrice-enhanced Charge ability, this was the reason why Dong-Er Molei was widely feared on the battlefield.
Yue Zhong's pupils constricted and he activated his Shadow Steps, his body flashing to one side, and the Black Tooth Blade swing out wildly.
'Dang!' A huge sound of metals coming in contact rang out.
The heavy hammer of Dong-Er Molei was knocked back by Yue Zhong's counter, while Yue Zhong himself felt his arms go numb from the 20 times strength of Dong-Er Molei. His Black Tooth Blade almost flew out of his hands.
After dodging that deadly blow, Yue Zhong whisked out his Stinger with insane speed, instantly firing 6 shots at Dong-Er Molei's head.
A shield of light appeared from Dong-Er Molei's body, and blocked the 6 Stinger shots before collapsing.
"Interesting! Take this!!" He roared out in mad laughter, activating his ability Giant's Blow. In an instant, his Strength and Agility was enhanced by 40 points, and he swung down with a force that threatened to tear the fabric of space.
Level 3 Giant's Blow, it could bolster the user's next attack by enhancing the Agility and Strength greatly. This was one of the most overpowering skills Dong-Er Molei had in his arsenal.
He was different from a lone warrior, with the status as one of the leaders in the Turkic Empire, he had access to resources and skill books. He naturally chose suitable techniques that complemented his path of combat.
As for most lone warriors, they would usually learn whatever skills they could. Hence, there were cases of warriors with skill that did not complement one another. This was one of the largest obstacle for the majority of lone warriors to become top experts.
Facing that impending blow, Yue Zhong remained expressionless, he leaped back a few meters, and dodged that blow. After that, he cast the Gravity Manipulation skill on him, and a powerful gravitational pull weighed down on Dong-Er Molei, causing his body to sink.
"Two-times gravity? Just this is useless!!" Dong-Er Molei laughed coldly and charged straight for Yue Zhong again.
Yue Zhong continued to retreat while reloading the Stinger, and fired another 6 shots.
Dong-Er Molei swung his huge hammer up over his face to protect himself, continuing his charge. The 6 bullets blasted his body, causing his clothes to be ripped, revealing an inner Type 3 Mutant Beast hide.
The Stinger had already been enhanced to a Level 5 Treasure, but it still couldn't penetrate the hide of a Type 3 Beast. However, the resulting force of the bullets would not be negated. To think that Dong-Er Molei was seemingly unaffected by it. This showed how fearsome this man was.
"It hurts!! Die, bastard!!" Dong-Er Molei's face twisted in pain, and roared out in agony. He then activated his Giant's Blow again, in conjunction with his Charge. This caused his speed to reach 29 times that of a person. The hammer in his hands became a meteor that shot towards Yue Zhong.
At this point, Dong-er Molei's speed was almost on par with Yue Zhong. This blow was sure to hit Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong had no choice but to raise is Black Tooth Blade to parry, and do his best to meet the force.
Dang!!
Following the loud sound of contact, the Black Tooth Blade was sent flying from Yue Zhong's hands due to the recoil, and he himself was sent knocked back.
"Haha!" Having gained the upper hand, Dong-Er Molei roared out in mad laughter, and continued to use his Charge, rushing for Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong was in mid-air, and his arms were still smarting from the earlier clash. If it wasn't for his Endurance, his hands might have been destroyed by that earlier blow.
As Yue Zhong was pressurized by Dong-Er Molei, the rest of the battlefield had also reached a crucial point.
Pi Jian Yi was being suppressed by a expert with yellow hair. His sword beams were shooting everywhere, being matched by his opponent's blade beams. Both parties were equal, neither gaining an advantage over the other.
Pan Sheng was being dogged by a melee expert as well, both fists meeting each other, their legs clashing every once in awhile. The sounds of their clashes were explosive, and being peak close-combat experts, it was unclear to whom victory would belong to in a short time.
Big Bear Qin Zhen was being tied down by a voluptuous beauty who was decked in leather, her hair tied up in a ponytail, and her hands wielding dual blades. Her speed reached 18 times that of a person, and her movement speed was like the wind, constantly sending out cautionary blows to test Qin Zhen's strength.
Qin Zhen roared out constantly in frustration, but he could not do anything. He had no way of chasing the woman, and if he was not careful, she would breach his defence and forced him to a pathetic state.
Tenpyo Saka used her Second Order Stealth and her capabilities to assassinate 2 Saint Wolf Riders, before she was held at bay by the rest of them.
These Saint Wolf Riders were all experts with abundant experience. 3 Agility-based Evolvers, 1 Spirit-based Evolver, and 2 Strength-based Evolver formed a small group that surrounded her as they unleashed torrential attacks, forcing her to be at a disadvantage. Of the 6, she could definitely deal with them individually, but when they joined forces, it was truly hard for her to exhibit her strengths.
The rest of the experts were also forced at a standstill by the various peak experts of the Saint Wolf Riders.
By now, the experts of the 10 great triads had already retreated from the center of the battlefield, choosing to go after the ordinary Gold Wolf Riders.
Although they had been forced to enter the battlefield, they weren't willing to sacrifice their own lives for Yue Zhong. As long as those soldiers of the Gold Wolf Riders weren't allowed to rally, they were of no threat to the experts. Hence, they acted out, killing many of the Gold Wolf Riders.
In truth, many of the Gold Wolf Riders had already begun to penetrate the town from the bunkers.
By acting against them, those experts were able to keep these Gold Wolf Riders at bay.
"I need to end this quickly!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly while in mid-air, and pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun, and fired once at the charging Dong-Er Molei.
The moment the gun appeared in Yue Zhong's hands, Dong-er Molei immediately felt a sense of dread. He ignored the backlash of cancelling his skill, and forced it to stop, spitting out a mouthful of blood, as he dodged to the side.
A bright flash of light appeared, and the next instant, Dong-er Molei's right shoulder was blasted apart, his entire right arm falling to the ground.
"What is that weapon? How is it so destructive?!" Dong-Er Molei's eyes were wide with shock, as he was able to even withstand the force of cannons, yet he was now injured by this strange weapon, even losing his right arm. He could feel the impending threat of death.
Since he lost his arm to this fearsome weapon, he was truly feeling the possibility of death.
Yue Zhong regained his balance after that strike and aimed once more.
At the moment, Dong-Er Molei instantly activated his strongest skill, the Second Order Werewolf Transformation, and he instantly transformed into a werewolf towering at over 2m, his entire body rippling with powerful muscles.
After transforming into the werewolf, his muscles tensed, and he quickly leaped into the air, escaping towards the distance with his 26 times speed. He only left a single word as he fled: "Retreat!!"
As strong as Yue Zhong was, he could not lock onto a werewolf with 26 times speed hellbent on escaping. He quickly adjusted his Electromagnetic Gun to fire at another Strength-based Evolver wielding a huge hammer.
With a bright flash, the Saint Wolf Rider's body was instantly blasted apart, his limbs flailing.
Witnessing this, the hearts of the rest of the Saint Wolf Riders turned cold, and they lost their will to fight on, turning around to retreat.
Yue Zhong's took out his Stinger in his left hand, while he fired 6 shots to kill off 6 Saint Wolf Riders. His eyes then narrowed, and he activated his Art of Fear, sending a powerful Spirit attack towards the beautiful woman engaging Big Bear Qin Zhen.
A terrifying illusion enveloped the beautiful Evolver, causing her to faint instantly.

Chapter 613: Aisin Gioro - Xuan Zhen!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Tenpyo Saka lead the peak experts who had just joined Yue Zhong to chase after the escaping Saint Wolf Riders, killing another 15 of them. The rest managed to escape albeit with great difficulty.
The moment the Saint Wolf Riders dispersed, Yue Zhong brought out a heavy-machine gun and begun to spray at the Gold Wolf Riders.
Those Gold Wolf Riders who had just charged into Tian Mu Town had no way out without the Saint Wolf Riders, and they continued to stay within the bunkers, before being wiped out by Yue Zhong's subordinates and the 10 great triads.
"Retreat!!"
"Retreat!!"
Gugani saw the situation turning bad, and quickly gave the order to retreat.
The moment the Gold Wolf Riders heard that order, they abandoned the other corpses and quickly fled Tian Mu Town.
Yue Zhong then quickly ordered Ximen Lie to organize a team to pick up all that was left by the Gold Wolf Riders, and to organize another team of the Tian Mu Town survivors to begin repairs.
The Gold Wolf Riders had retreated from Tian Mu Town, but they only retreated beyond a few kilometers, and did not actually leave.
Gugani came and saw Dong-Er Molei missing his right arm, and spoke with an unfriendly tone: "Dong-Er Molei, what the fuck happened?"
By retreating, whatever the Gold Wolf Riders had sacrificed was for naught. They had left over 700 corpses of their comrades back there. Every time he thought to the pointless deaths of their 700 elites, Gugani's mind was filled with fear.
Those elites were the core strength of the Great Turkic Empire. By losing 700 Gold Wolf Riders, this was a huge blow to them. What was more scary was that even after such a heavy price, they did not manage to conquer Tian Mu Town. They were sure to be punished heavily upon their return.
Dong-Er Molei stared back at Gugani and hollered: "Shut up!! You fucking useless half-blood trash that rely on women to get to your position!! In Tian Mu Town, there's an expert with all sorts of technologically advanced weapons. Our troops are not meant to breach cities, what the fuck did you expect?"
Dong-Er Molei was shifting all the responsibility to Gugani, in actual fact, he was the first to charge at Tian Mu Town, and he was the one who rallied his troops to charge at Tian Mu Town. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong bringing the Han experts under his banner, Tian Mu Town might truly have fallen at his hands. Now that he had failed, he vented his anger and frustration of his failure to Gugani.
Gugani's countenance flashed with anger, before he lowered his head silently. He was indeed a mixed blood from Han and Uyghur descent. Before the apocalypse, it wouldn't mean much.
However, the current Great Turkic Empire was very anal about blood purity. Because of his mixed-blood status, Gugani was often ostracized. If it wasn't for his quick wit, and his offerings of a few beauties to Wu-Er Tuotuo, in addition to his skills, he wouldn't have been able to climb to his position.
Even then, the rest of the Uyghur people still looked down on him, and would call him bastard. It was only in front of Wu-Er Tuotuo that they minded their words.
A savage and fierce glint flashed in Dong-Er Molei's eyes as he spat: "Tian Mu Town cannot be conquered for now!! We shall retreat for the time-being, and go launch a sneak attack on Aga Town."
Gugani gasped in shock: "Aga Town! That's the Manchurian territory, if we attack them, they will definitely not sit back and do nothing!!"
Dong-Er Molei stared at Gugani and roared: "The Manchurians are also a bunch of trash that lost to the Hans before! How can they stand up to our Great Turkic Empire. They're trash, the very epitome of worms! I'm the General, Gugani, are you trying to disobey my orders?"
Dong-Er Molei had been injured badly Yue Zhong and his mood was foul. He wanted to vent his fury by massacring some enemies, at the same time to raise the morale of the Gold Wolf Riders. While a massacre would be a disaster for the victims, to the slaughterers, it was a quick way to bolster morale. In war, many generals would allow their men to pillage or rape or even murder. Even the American troops had sunk to certain levels during the Vietnam war.
One intelligence officer hurried in, his face pale with fright: "General!! Things are bad!! We discovered an armored troop rushing over here with great speed."
"What?" Both Dong-Er Molei and Gugani were taken back.
Currently, the Gold Wolf Rider had just suffered a defeat, and lost over 700 elites, their morale was at a low. With this sudden appearance of an armored troop making its way towards them, it was obvious that there was no good intent.
Gugani asked: "Who are they?"
The officer replied: "They're the 8 Banners Army of the Manchurian Empire!!"
About 10km away from the Gold Wolf Riders camp, there were 30 IFVs, 8 tanks, 40 machine gun-mounted vehicles, 10 122 Howitzers and a 1000 motorcycles making their way towards the Gold Wolf Riders.
Other than the fully motorized troop, there were 4,000 additional warriors riding on common horses and the Black Stallions, and a 3,000 foot-soldiers making their way to surround Gold Wolf Riders.
The retreat of the Gold Wolf Riders had been totally cut off by this army of over 10,000 people. There was Tian Mu Town in front, and the Manchurian 8 Banners Army behind.
In the command centre of the approaching troops, stood a burly middle-aged man decked in emperor clothes and a crown on his head. There was a tinkling glint in his eyes as he said: "Those Hans are sure capable, to actually force that animal Dong-Er Molei back!"
Another middle-aged man with straight features and an uncommon aura stood beside the emperor and said respectfully: "My liege, other than his strength, Dong-Er Molei is just a brute. He only knows how to use force, and had actually tried to use his troops to breach the city walls. It was simply fighting with their weakness in their haste. However, for them to be defeated so fast, it has truly exceeded this subject's calculations."
The man in the emperor's clothes was precisely the emperor of Manchuria, Aisin Gioro - Xuan Zhen. The prim and proper man beside him was the most trusted aide of his, General Shang Ming De.
Xuan Zhen's eyes were filled with excitement and fervor: "This time, as long as we eradicate the Gold Wolf Riders, we would become the 2nd largest faction out here in the Central Plains. Once we've swallowed the Turkic power, we would then become the largest! With the Central Plains as our base, conquering the entire country would not just be a dream! Haha!"
The population in the Central Plains were quite spaced out, and the remaining survivors were thus more than other places. If they could really unite all the survivors, the entire strength would be a force to reckon with.
"My King is wise!! My King is far-sighted, and this subject is simply inferior." Shang Ming De sucked up to him, before throwing in a few words of advice: 'My Liege! Kill a thousand enemies and suffer 800 casualties. To swallow the Turkic Empire, our losses will not be small, and there might be a chance that the Mongol King would try and jump on us then."
Xuan Zhen's eye flashed with a cold but arrogant light: "The Mongol King? Hmph! This Emperor naturally has a way to deal with him. Ming De!"
Shang Ming De quickly got on his knees and portrayed the very posture of a loyal subject: "Your subject hears!"
Xuan Zhen looked at him and spoke strictly: "When we are done eradicating Dong-Er Molei, go to Tian Mu Town and extend an invitation for the Hans to join us. As long as they're willing to join our Manchuria, this Emperor will confer upon them the status of Manchurians, and allow them to join our forces."
Xuan Zhen had been an ordinary Manchurian, and was actually not of Aisin Gioro's descent. In fact, he was an ordinary farmer. However, he loved to watch dramas, and had idolized Puyi, the 12th emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who had been dramatized.
After the apocalypse, Xuan Zhen had awakened as an Evolver, and changed his name to Aisin Gioro Xuan Zhen, intending to create a new Manchuria. He made use of the chaos then, to gather like-minded people. However, Xuan Zhen had always felt the Manchurians to be the noblest of blood, and he would try and recruit powerful people of talent and confer upon them the status of a Manchurian.
In order to pull more experts in, he had employed such tactics, and as such, a huge number of experts had gathered under him. When he saw that the Hans in Tian Mu Town had been able to repel Dong-Er Molei, he began to entertain the idea of recruiting them.
Shang Ming De kowtowed: "Yes! Your subject obeys!"
With the passing of time, the 8 Banners Army of the Manchu Empire got closer to the Gold Wolf Riders.
Gugani saw the approaching Manchurians, and his heart was filled with anxiety: "What do we do?"
A wild and savage glint flashed in Dong-Er Molei's eyes, as he roared: "Breakthrough!! Everyone listen up!! Charge and kill with me!! We will break past their lines!!
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
The Gold Wolf Riders began to shout and holler with killing intent under the rallying cry of Dong-Er Molei.
"Charge with me!!" Dong-Er Molei rode his Black Stallion and charged right for the 8 Banners Army.
The 3,000 Gold Wolf RIders immediately followed behind his lead, charging for their enemies with billowing killing intent.
Although Dong-Er Molei was violent and wild, he wasn't an idiot He didn't charge for the armored battalion, instead, aiming for the flesh and blood soldiers.
The 30 IFVs, 8 tanks, 40 gun-mounted vehicles, 10 122 Howitzer began blasting the Gold Wolf RIders Under the hail of firepower, many of the Gold Wolf Riders fell, their bodies blasted apart.
The cavalry and foot soldiers of the 8 Banners Army also fired their own guns at the incoming Gold Wolf Riders.
However, the Gold Wolf Riders were mainly riding powerful Black Stallions, and their maximum speed was faster than ordinary mounts In a few breaths of time, they had to pay the price of a few hundred people Dong-Er Molei had already charged right into the troops of foot soldiers.

Chapter 614: Miserable Victory of the Manchurian Army!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Although Dong-Er Molei had lost an arm, he was still as valiant and wild. He wielded his huge hammer and charged right at the enemy, smashing them into minced meat.
These foot soldiers were all common vagrants and had not yet undergone any proper training. They were mostly using wooden spears and the moment they were charged at by the Gold Wolf Riders, they quickly broke ranks and abandoned their armor and weapons to flee.
Hong! Hong!
The 10 122 howitzers began to fire non-stop. Rounds after rounds blasted the Gold Wolf Riders, tearing their bodies apart. The fearsome projectiles rained down and caused some of the foot soldiers of the Manchurian Army to be caught in the area of effect as well.
As Dong-Er Molei was engaging the foot soldiers, the 1,000-strong motorcycle troop revved and charged at the Gold Wolf Riders using their own firearms to kill those Gold Wolf Riders as well as their own comrades who were clashing against them.
Those 3,000 foot soldiers were after all, slaves and were made up of Hans and other races. Xuan Zhen had deliberately made use of them to attract the attention of the Gold Wolf Riders, sending them to be slaughtered, while wearing down their stamina and horsepower.
Dong-Er Molei led the Gold Wolf Riders and caused the 3,000-strong troop to scatter upon losing many of their people but the Gold Wolf Riders were similarly being bombarded by the 8 Banners Army from the other side.
The 4,000 riders of the 8 Banners Army prepared to launch a devastating attack. Many of these riders made use of sabres. Their objective was to prevent the Gold Wolf Riders from running and to control their movements. If need be, they would launch a mighty assault on them.
The ones who were truly out to kill the Gold Wolf Riders were the motorcycle troops and the armored vehicles.
Under the assault of the 1,000-strong motorcycle riders, many of the Gold Wolf Riders were shot from their mounts, as they screamed and wailed.
"Charge!!!" Dong-Er Molei roared out with bloodshot eyes, his fury reaching a peak. He led 80 Saint Wolf Riders and did not focus on the foot soldiers any longer, aiming to break out instead.
"Kill!" The 4,000-strong 8 Banners riders bellowed in response as they surged forward with their sabres pointing out, making their way for the remaining 1,800 Gold Wolf Riders.
The 2 top forces of the Central Plains clashed in this epic battle and engaged in a cruel and merciless slaughter that resulted a great deal of blood and body parts flying everywhere. In terms of actual power, the Gold Wolf Riders were truly much stronger than the Manchurian 8 Banners Army. However, because they had just been repelled by Yue Zhong's army, they had been left defeated, their morale low, and their energy sapped. With the sudden pincer attack by the Manchurian 8 Banners Army, it served only to wear down their numbers even further. As the 4,000-strong riders of the 8 Banners Army surged forwards, even more Gold Wolf Riders fell.
Within the Gold Wolf Riders forcers, Dong-Er Molei was like a meat grinder himself, his huge hammer swinging around like a tornado, smashing each and every warrior from the 8 Banners Army that got too close. No one could withstand a blow of his. With his 80 Saint Wolf Riders, they slaughtered their way through the 4,000-strong riders of the 8 Banners Army, causing them countless casualties.
"Dong-Er Molei!! Go to hell!" Right as Dong-Er Molei was in the midst of his killing spree, a man wielding a crescent blade roared in anger as he charged over.
This man was called Tong Jia Guo, and he was a Strength-based Evolver leading the 8 Banners Army. He was renowned as a general who possessed great contributions to the empire.
"Which fucktard has appeared?! Go and die!" As he charged in front of Dong-Er Molei, he was greeted with a savage laugh. Dong-Er Molei activated his Giant's Blow, and the hammer came swinging down like a mountain at Tong Jia Guo's head.
Tong Jia Guo brought up his crescent blade to block the attack.
Dang!
Following the loud ring, Tong Jia Guo and his Black Stallion were instantly pulverized.
"General Tong is dead!!!"
"General Tong is dead! What do we do? What do we do now?"
The moment they saw their general Tong Jia Guo killed in an instant, the morale of the 8 Banners troops plummeted.
As for the Gold Wolf Riders, they were still feeling high on their bloodlust and under Dong-Er Molei's lead, they continued their massacre of the fleeing soldiers.
After he had caused enough mayhem which resulted in the 8 Banners troops to be plunged in chaos, he did not continue his assault for too long. Instead, he led the remaining 800 Gold Wolf Riders to flee.
Dong-Er Molei might be fierce and violent, but he wasn't a fool. The experts in Manchuria were plenty and there was still the armored division to deal with. If he continued to kill, his remaining members of the Gold Wolf Riders would definitely die.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Xuan Zhen stared hatefully at the fleeing back of Dong-Er Molei and gritted his teeth as he spat, "Dong-Er Molei! This Emperor will definitely kill you!"
This time, Xuan Zhen had deployed his entire troops to surround and kill Dong-Er Molei. While they had wiped out over 2,000 members of the Gold Wolf Riders, there were even more heavy casualties on their own. The 3,000-strong slave army had scattered and they only managed to recover a thousand.
They had lost a quarter of their 4,000-strong 8 Banners Army and at the same time, just like Tong Jia Guo, their strong experts and Enhancers counted amongst their dead.
To think that a force of 3,000 had actually managed to breakthrough a surrounding force of over 10,000 and at the same time, these had damaged the ranks and proper bearing of the troops. Xuan Zhen suddenly felt that he had severely underestimated the might of Dong-Er Molei. If they had equal forces, the Manuchrian army would definitely have lost.
Xuan Zhen's voice was thick with killing intent. "Shang Ming De, this Emperor wants you to head to Tian Mu Town and tell them that if they surrender to us, this Emperor will bestow riches and women upon them. Otherwise, our army will march in and would not leave a single one of them alive!"
Shang Ming De felt a chill as he kowtowed, "Your servants understands!"
Shang Ming De thus carried a white flag and entered Tian Mu Town.
The moment he entered, he was brought in front of Yue Zhong as well as the remaining leaders of the triads. From the 10 great triads, they were reduced to 6 due to Dong-Er Molei's slaughter.
Shang Ming De eyed the people present with arrogance and said, "I'm the envoy sent by the Manchuria Empire, Shang Ming De. Who is the leader of Tian Mu Town?"
After all, Manchuria was considered one of the 3 main factions of the Central Plains. Hence, Tian Mu Town was just a gathering of a rowdy bunch. With the Manchurian Empire as his backing, Shang Ming De was naturally arrogant.
Yue Zhong eyed him nonchalantly and ordered, "Go drag him out and chop off one of his arms! Make sure he learns how to speak!"
Li Guang waved his hands and 2 soldiers stepped forward, grabbing Shang Ming De to drag him out.
Shang Ming De immediately turned pale and began to plead, "No! Sir! Spare my life!!! Spare my life!!! Envoys are usually spared during any negotiations! Please!!!"
Ximen Lie immediately stood out and stared at Yue Zhong, "Hold! Alliance Chief, the envoys are usually immune from such treatment. How about just sparing him this once?"
Yue Zhong's chilling gaze landed on Ximen Lie's body.
When Ximen Lie was stared at like this by Yue Zhong, he felt his entire back turn slick with sweat and his body trembled, deeply regretting stepping out.
Yue Zhong had displayed his power out on the field for everyone to see. They had seen how Dong-Er Molei who was widely thought to be invincible, had been beaten back by Yue Zhong. At the same time, the 12 Guards who Yue Zhong had initially called out, after having lost 2, leaving 10, were experts as well, each of them not necessarily weaker than the leaders present.
As a leader of a faction, other than being strong, most of them had been involved with women and
managing affairs, as well as other small things. How could they hunt mutant beasts and become stronger as compared to the lone warriors?
Adding on the the many subordinates of Li Guang, Yue Zhong had been viewed as the true alliance chief. He had the strength and the might of people behind him. His methods were decisive and ruthless when it came to killing and under the stare of such a character, Ximen Lie was afraid that he would be killed in the next instant.
Yue Zhong then turned to Shang Ming De impassively, "Alright! I'll give brother Ximen some face. Shang Ming De, since you're the envoy of the Manchuria Empire, you should kneel and speak. If you're unwilling, I can get someone to help you!"
Yue Zhong had no intentions of killing Shang Ming De in the first place. He just wanted to suppress that attitude of his and make sure this Han that had turned into traitor to serve the Manchurians become obedient.
Having been frightened once, Shang Ming De lost all pretense of his pride and arrogance, immediately kneeling on the ground while his body trembles.
"The noble Aisin Gioro, Xuan Zhen, Emperor of the Manchu Empire had ordered for your surrender. As long as you are willing to surrender, everyone would be able to join the 8 Banners Army, and become noble Manchurians. From today on, there would be riches and women waiting for you. If you choose to reject and disobey, the Emperor would order the 10,000-strong troop of his to charge into Tian Mu Town and will not leave a single living thing behind.
Hearing those words, many expressions changed. The Manchu Empire had actually deployed their 10,000 strong forces. The total strength of the army was more than the survivors inside the town and there were even tanks and cannons in addition to other various heavyweights. Due to the low possibility of victory, the 6 leaders actually had a slight inclination to submit.
The whole point of the alliance was to ensure that they stuck together and prevent themselves from becoming slaves. Now that the Manchu Empire was willing to recruit them and confer titles upon them, they were naturally moved and wanted to submit.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he raised his Stinger and instantly fired a shot.
Peng!
Shang Ming De's head immediately became a watermelon that burst, his headless corpse crumpled to the floor. He had never imagined that Yue Zhong would kill him without a word.
"Alliance Chief!"
"Alliance Chief, what're you doing?!"
When the leaders witnessed it, their faces turned ugly. Things had happened too fast and they hadn't had the time to react and could only voice out.
Yue Zhong spoke coldly, "I've killed the envoy of the Manchu Empire. You guys must be hating me to death. However, I've already killed him. According to the style of the Manchu Empire, even if you guys
surrender now, you would only face death. The Manchu Empire will definitely launch an assault on Tian Mu Town. After breaching here, they will not spare anyone. If you want to live, you guys had better muster all your strength to fight and retaliate. Only then, will there be room for survival. Ximen Lie, go tell the survivors in town that I have already killed the envoy of the Manchu Empire. Later on, when the Manchu Empire attacks, everyone would die. Gather them and get started on fortification works. The rest of you, rest well and await further orders! I believe that there will be a tough battle ahead of us soon!"
Ximen Lie could only swallow his bitterness and replied, "Yes! Alliance Chief!"
With a single move, Yue Zhong had tied the fates of everyone in Tian Mu Town together. They would win or lose as a whole. If the town was really breached, then everyone would die. Thus, all the leaders and lone warriors had to think of ways to defend against the Manchu forces.
The survivors were all shocked to the core when they heard Ximen Lie's words and quickly gathered under him to begin working on the defences and obstacles in Tian Mu Town.
All sorts of vehicles, beds, sandbags, boulders, and broken down television sets were brought to the front to act as obstruction.
As everyone got busy, the chief of the Pink Triad, Zhao Li, came to find Yue Zhong. "Alliance Chief, our Pink Triad is good at setting traps. I have a pair of sisters who had the abilities to set traps easily. We hope you can assign us some manpower to help us set them."
At this critical point in time, Zhao Li could only gather her forces to help defend as well. If Tian Mu Town really fell, the whole bunch of female warriors under the Pink Triad would only suffer a fate worse than death.
Yue Zhong gave an order to Ximen Lie, "Good! Ximen Lie, go deploy a 1,000 men to Zhao Li and assist them with their traps!"
Ximen Lie nodded and swiftly gathered a thousand men for her.
The Heavenly Demon Sect's leader Fei Tu also came up to Yue Zhong, "Alliance Chief, our Heavenly Demon Sect knows how to construct simple landmines. Please grant us 200 men to help lay them."
"Ximen Lie, assign 300 men to Fei Tu!"
Under Yue Zhong's orders, Ximen Lie assigned another 300 men to Fei Tu, who led his men to plant landmines at the entrance of Tian Mu Town.
Everyone within were offering their skills and abilities to help strengthen the defences, in the hopes of raising their chances of survival.
"What's going on? Where's that dog Shang Ming De?" After an entire hour, Xuan Zhen frowned, as a premonition creeped up in his heart, "Could it be those fellows have captured him or he had been bought over by them and is already indulging in women?!"
After hesitating for a while, Xuan Zhen summoned another Han over, "Geng Da Zhong! Go to Tian Mu Town and get them to surrender. At the same time, find out what happened to that stupid dog Shang Ming De!"
"Your slave obeys!" Geng Da Zhong kneeled down to kowtow before swiftly proceeding to Tian Mu Town.
There, Tian Mu Town's soldiers soon brought Geng Da Zhong in front of Yue Zhong.

Chapter 615: Geng Da Zhong!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Yue Zhong eyed Geng Da Zhong coldly and said, "Your previous envoy Shang Ming De had been shot dead by me! Do you want to live or die?"
Geng Da Zhong's back was immediately drenched in cold sweat as he knelt down and kowtowed, "This slave wants to live! This slave wants to live! Please spare my life, Leader!"
Geng Da Zhong wasn't some person with integrity. Those with backbone would not have ran to become slaves of Xuan Zhen. With a single death threat, Geng Da Zhong had immediately gone weak.
Yue Zhong continued, "I need time. What methods do you have to delay Xuan Zhen's invasion?"
By now Tian Mu Town's survivors were all busy with the fortifications and were preparing for a tough battle ahead. Every minute counts, so with every minute of delay, they would be better prepared.
Geng Da Zhong was perspiring profusely while trying his best to think of a way. He knew his answer would decide his fate.
His eyes suddenly lit up as he proposed, "That's it! Leader, as long as you pretend to be willing to surrender, this slave will head back and tell Xuan Zhen that you're willing to surrender. However, you need time to organize the belongings and wealth of the survivors and pleaded for another 2 hours of time. He will definitely agree and give you that time. I know his personality and 2 hours will be the maximum he would give. Anymore than that would be pushing it."
Yue Zhong replied coldly, "Fine! I'll let you go back. But before that, I will implant some remote bombs in you. The moment Xuan Zhen attacks before the 2 hours, I will set the bombs off. Men, do it!"
2 soldiers stepped forwards to press Geng Da Zhong down as another went to slice his leg open. Then, a small remote-controlled bomb was inserted into his thigh.
An Enhancer stepped forward and pressed the remote-controlled bomb, sending a green light to envelope the bomb.
Witnessing this, the expression of Geng Da Zhong turned pale. Yet, he didn't dare to say anything. The one sitting on the throne in front of him had just killed Shang Ming De without any warning and was obviously short-tempered and vicious. He didn't want to die here.
Another Enhancer with the ability to heal stepped forward and pointed at Geng Da Zhong's legs, patching him up with a bright light. After the wound of the leg healed, the bomb was buried within his flesh.
"I'll let you see the potential of the bomb in your body!" Yue Zhong then took out a similar bomb and threw it at a fake mountain and he pressed a button.
Hong!
After a loud explosion, the entire fake mountain exploded in 2.
Geng Da Zhong immediately turned paler, after all, who could still be happy with such a powerful explosive in their body?
Yue Zhong then replied: "That bomb is easy to take out with surgery. However, I've ensured that my subordinate had attached a sensory ability to it. The minute you dare to take it out or if there are any strange movements, I would be able to tell here and I will immediately press the remote. If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and try it."
Geng Da Zhong immediately promised, "I trust Leader's words, that you will not trick this servant. This servant will definitely not play around with his life and seeks Leader's understanding and be rest assured that I will do my duty."
Yue Zhong replied indifferently: "You're dismissed! I'll let you go half an hour later."
Geng Da Zhong thanked him profusely: "Thank you Leader! Thank you Leader!"
Zhao Jing Lei could not believe her ears and asked Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong! You've gained the sensory trigger bomb skill?"
If the sensory trigger bomb had been invented, then it would truly be a terrifying means to control people. Tenpyo Saka was being controlled by that chain around her neck. As long as it was forcefully removed without the right password, it would blow. Zhao Jing Lei was somewhat skeptical that Yue Zhong had such a skill.
The bomb was so tiny. She found it hard to believe that there was an additional sensory function in it.
Yue Zhong chuckled, "How can it be? It was all to scare him. Of course, the remote controlled bomb is real. However, if he does want to take it out, he could just do a simple surgery."
Zhao Jing Lei asked incredulously: "Aren't you afraid that he'll remove it surgically?"
Yue Zhong answered, "For someone like him who values his own life too much, he would not dare to risk it. Even if he did, so what? All Xuan Zhen could do then is to invade us."
Zhao Jing Lei pondered for awhile. It was as he said. Even if Geng Da Zhong did figure it out in the end, it wouldn't matter to Tian Mu Town.
Half an hour later, just as Xuan Zhen was becoming impatient, Geng Da Zhong had returned.
"Congratulations, my Liege!! Tian Mu Town's leader Yue Zhong is in awe and fear of you and has voluntarily submitted to you. However, he had a few conditions and hope that you will grant them."
Xuan Zhen was elated and asked, "What sort of conditions?"
Geng Da Zhong responded: "First, Yue Zhong hopes that you can grant him a position as a commander. Secondly, he hopes that his own troops can remain under him and still be under his command. Lastly, he hopes that the personal safety and properties of his and his subordinates will not be touched."
Xuan Zhen frowned and asked, "How did you respond?"
Xuan Zhen had always not favored the Hans and other races, never allowing them to handle any big things. He preferred to draft them into his army and be under the control of his own troops.
Geng Da Zhong responded: "Your slave deserves death. I had granted him the 1st and 2nd condition. As for the 2nd, your slave had vehemently declined. After much persuasion from your slave, he had agreed to forgo the 2nd condition. However, he proposed that once they have joined us, he wants to choose a 100 beauties to serve him and his faction. Furthermore, they have to be provided resources from the Manchu Empire. Your slave deserves death, as I have agreed to it."
Xuan Zhen's frown lessened slightly as his eyes held a more appreciative light, "Well done! You've performed well Geng Da Zhong! You're truly are a loyal subordinate! Since you've worked hard for this Emperor, this Emperor will naturally not mistreat you. After we've conquered Tian Mu Town, you will be gifted 5 beauties."
Geng Da Zhong immediately got on his knees: "Thank you, my Liege!"
Xuan Zheng asked, "When will they come out to surrender?"
"Yue Zhong wanted to bring his men tomorrow!"
The moment Geng Da Zhong's words came out, Xuan Zhen's frown became deeper.
Geng Da Zhong's face was currently calm as he replied quickly, "Your slave naturally refused his request. Your slave told him that if he wanted to surrender tomorrow, it must be because he was thinking of delaying the time. Yue Zhong and the rest were immediately frightened and pleaded for this slave's understanding. Thus, I gave them some time to handle their affairs. This slave did not want to hurry them too much and allowed them 2 hours to prepare. Yue Zhong and his men would then bring his men out to submit peacefully."
Xuan Zhen pondered a while before replying, "2 hours, right? Fine. This Emperor shall give them 2 hours."
Tian Mu Town was after all a force that had repelled the Gold Wolf Riders led by Dong-Er Molei. If Xuan Zhen wanted this faction to submit peacefully without any losses, he knew he couldn't pressure them too hard.
2 hours wasn't much to Xuan Zhen. If he could obtain Tian Mu Town without any damage, it would the best. He was even willing to wait a day. At this point, Xuan Zhen frowned and asked: "Where's Shang Ming De?"
Geng Da Zhong immediately became worked up as he replied, "My Liege! You must definitely punish that little shit! When your subordinate went to Tian Mu Town, he was already drinking and partying with a few beautiful ladies, getting himself drunk and forgetting his mission entirely. What's worse is that he had actually fought over your loyal subordinate over women and scolded me. Please remember to punish him, my liege!"
When Xuan Zhen heard it, he relaxed. He knew the problems of his subordinate. Shang Ming De was truly a conniving pervert and lusted after women. In his home, he already had a few women and was exceptionally vile to other women.
Xuan Zhen replied mildly: "I got it! When he's back, this Emperor will definitely punish him! You're dismissed!"
Xuan Zhen knew that while Shang Ming De might be a lowlife, he was an obedient slave. It wasn't necessary to say many things as Shang Ming De would automatically help him settle it. That was why he wouldn't give up on him easily.
Geng Da Zhong replied without batting an eyelid before leaving, "Yes! Your Highness!"
The moment Geng Da Zhong left Xuan Zhen's side, he quickly went to his camp and packed up all his rations and weapons before using an excuse to leave the camp.
2 hours later, Xuan Zhen could not find any sign of Yue Zhong and a bad premonition arose in his heart, "GENG DA ZHONG!!! FIND THAT BASTARD FOR THIS EMPEROR!!!"
Not long after, a guard came up to Xuan Zhen and reported, "My Liege! Geng Da Zhong had escaped!!"
Xuan Zhen slammed his palm angrily on the table, splitting it into multiple pieces, "Fuck! That damned Geng Da Zhong! Damned Yue Zhong! You guys dare to hoodwink me! Convey my orders! We will immediately invade Tian Mu Town, and will not leave a single thing alive! Capture Geng Da Zhong and Yue Zhong alive! Those who would succeed will be raised to 3 military ranks and get some beautiful women. This Emperor wants them to die!!!"
Under Xuan Zhen's order, the Manchu Army that had not moved, immediately set off for Tian Mu Town.

Chapter 616: Battling the White Armor Army!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
The first ones to act were the 122 Howitzers of the Manchu Empire, as they launched multiple rockets at Tian Mu Town.
Hong! Hong!!
With the loud explosions ringing and the rain of projectiles from the skies, many places were blasted apart.
Yue Zhong had organized for the survivors in Tian Mu Town to retreat earlier, however, under that blanket of firepower, there were numerous survivors and warriors that were either heavily injured, or killed.
As they were bombarded, the soldiers of Tian Mu Town had low morale. If it wasn't for knowing the fact that everyone will be killed once the Manchu forces invaded, these soldiers would have long fled for their lives.
Li Guang came up to Yue Zhong and muttered, "This cannot go on! Leader! We need to handle their artillery!!"
Li Guang had a resolute look as he said, "Leader, let me take some men to go deal with their artillery! Even if this old one dies, I will go down making sure those Manchu dogs go down with me!"
Li Guang wasn't a man who did not fear death. Initially, he had surrendered to Yue Zhong out of fear for his and his subordinates' lives as well. However, under the relentless attack of the Manchu Empire, he knew that it would be a suicide mission to go and deal with them. Yet, he was willing, purely because he had a strong sense of patriotism.
Pi Jian Yi stood up, "I'll go with you!"
Pi Jian Yi was proud, arrogant, and slightly ambitious. However, he also had the hot-bloodedness that most youths had. Seeing how Li Guang was proposing to lead the most dangerous mission, his passion was ignited as well.
"I'm willing to go!"
"I'll follow you!"
A number of other Han heroes also stood up as their eyes shined with a clear light. They were already prepared for death.
There were no lack of eager and passionate heroes. There was only a lack of a decent leader.
Yue Zhong had led the forces himself and his actions had spurred their bravado. At such a critical moment, they were ready to spill blood.
Yue Zhong eyed Li Guang and the rest of the men that had rose to the occasion, his eyes flashing with appreciation, "No need! Li Guang, you stay here and take over temporarily. I'll go destroy the artillery. My command for you is that before I'm back, you guys will have to defend Tian Mu Town with all you've got. No one is allowed to fall into the hands of Xuan Zhen. Understood?"
Li Guang was shocked: "Leader! No! That mission is too dangerous. If anything were to happen to you, what would we do?"
Pi Jian Yi and the rest of the Han experts were also staring at Yue Zhong in shock. In most normal cases, the general would stand behind his troops, commanding them from a safe location. Ximen Lie and the rest had always done things this way.
When Yue Zhong had gained the seat as the Alliance Chief and obtained everyone's cooperation for a short time, he could easily deploy the troops how he liked while staying at a safe place to give orders. Even Pi Jian Yi and the rest had fought at the frontlines and saw what Yue Zhong did. Hence, they had no thoughts to disobey him.
Even so, Yue Zhong was still suggesting to undertake the suicide mission himself. This caused Pi Jian Yi and the rest to be extremely shocked and touched causing their morale to increase even more.
Of course, some of the soldiers also saw the other side of the equation. Should Yue Zhong die, then Tian Mu Town was sure to fall. Just like what happened to Tong Jia Guo.
Yue Zhong stared at Li Guang and said solemnly, "No need for more words. I've made my decision. Convey my orders! Tian Mu Town is henceforth under your temporary control. Before I'm back, make sure you stay here even if you die!"
Li Guang responded loudly, "Yes! Leader!"
Yue Zhong then spoke to a corner, "Tenpyo Saka, you lead Pi Jian Yi and the rest to support Li Guang in protecting Tian Mu Town."
From the shadows in the corner, a slight distortion appeared as Tenpyo Saka walked out and nodded.
After assigning them duties, Yue Zhong flashed and disappeared out of Tian Mu Town.
He had just taken a few steps out when he immediately felt over 20 crosshairs aimed on him. Therefore, he quickly left from his original position.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
20 sniper rounds rained down onto where he was a moment ago.
"Snipers!"
Yue Zhong swiftly activated his Bone Encompassing Armor and his body was encased in a thick layer of bone carapace. At the same time, he activated his Shadow Steps and his speed exceeded 30 times that of a normal person, shuttling for the Manchurian Empire like a specter.
In the center of the Manchu Empire forces, a burly man possessing huge hands and deep eyes in addition to his bristle-covered face, stared at Yue Zhong coming from the distance with a cold look in his eyes. This man was the top Evolver in the Manchu Empire, Ao Dou. He led the most powerful force of the empire, the White Armor Army!
The White Armor Army of the Great Manchu Empire was like the Special Forces under Yue Zhong, the Saint Wolf Riders of the Gold Wolf Riders. They were a bunch of elites.
They consisted mostly of experts above level 30 and their combat prowess was truly something else.
Ao Dou used his whip and pointed at Yue Zhong, calling out in a deep voice, "Tu Sheng! Take your men and fetch me that man's head!"
Tu Sheng was one of the 6 main captains of the White Armor Army, leading 80 of the White Armor soldiers. Tu Sheng was a Level 63 Evolver himself.
"Yes! Sir!" Tu Sheng responded before leading his men in a charge towards Yue Zhong.
"An expert is here!" When Tu Sheng and his men moved, Yue Zhong felt danger and immediately whisked out his Stinger.
He eyed the galloping Black Stallions with their White Army soldiers on top, and immediately fired 6 consecutive shots.
The 6 bullets blasted apart amidst the White Armor forces, causing 6 of them to be blasted off their mounts, shattering their bones in the process.
The White Armor soldiers were all wearing Type 3 Mutant Beast hide, which the Stinger bullets could not penetrate. However, their own Endurance could not withstand the force of the blows and their body were hence, wrecked.
It could only be Endurance-based Evolvers like Dong-Er Molei that might stand a chance against any heavy firearms. Even if the armor on everyone else could block the actual projectiles, their weak bodies could not withstand the force.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed, and another 6 bullets were reloaded quickly before he fired again.
This time, another 6 bullets landed on the bodies of the White Armor soldiers, knocking 6 of them off their mounts, with their bones shattered.
In just 10 seconds, Yue Zhong had dealt with 12 members of the White Armor force, killing them in the process. The rest of the soldiers were shocked and furious. Then, they began activating their skills.
A number of fireballs, ice shards, wind blades, air cannons, bullets, blades, darts, arrows, stones, and all sorts of weapons and abilities bombarded Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong dodged about like a ghost and managed to evade most of the incoming attacks. He only suffered 2 arrows that seemed to be slower than the rest, but was fixed on Yue Zhong.
These 2 arrows were from the Level 3 skill, Homing Arrows. The moment they were fired, they would strike their targets. The only weakness was that although they could chase their targets, their speed and power could not compare to the rest of the abilities.
Yue Zhong pulled out his Black Tooth Blade and casually swept them aside before flashing forward. The Stinger in his right hand fired again, killing another 6 members of the White Armor army.
Watching Yue Zhong kill his men easily, shock and fear filled Tu Sheng's heart. "Strong!! This fearsome speed and those accurate shots. What a strong weapon. This fellow is truly a freak. No wonder Ao Dou wanted me to bring my forces to suppress him. He's truly too scary!"
Ao Dou watched as Yue Zhong makes use of his speed and his powerful Stinger to slaughter his White Armor troops. Then his eyes flashed with a solemn look, "Ming Shu Wu, Wu Tian Dao, the 2 of you, lead some men to go defend the artillery. He Sheng Quan, Ji Wen, Duo Xi. You three take your men and follow me to go kill that fellow."
"Yes! Sir!"
The White Armor 5 captains responded loudly, and began to move out.
Ao Dou himself led 3 of the captains and 360 Enhancers towards Yue Zhong.
He could already feel the threat of Yue Zhong's might and he wanted to hurry and take out this problem.
As strong as Yue zhong was, it was hard for him to defend against all the elites of the Manchu army. He didn't continue engaging with Tu Sheng. Instead, he pushed his speed and charged towards the artillery.
The Black Stallions were instantly left behind to eat the dust and the elites all stared dumbfounded at the extent of Yue Zhong's speed.
Within 2 minutes, Yue Zhong had reached about 3km, near the artillery. He did not continue his advance. Instead, he pulled out his Level 5 Falcon II Sniper.
He loaded it with a 122 round and fired as a bright flash of light radiated from the Falcon II Sniper. It blasted one of the Howitzers, turning it into scrap metal.
Yue Zhong then continued to adjust his aim and trajectory, firing another round, destroying another Howitzer.

Chapter 617: Tough Battle!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Yue Zhong had spent all of his efforts to aim for another Howitzer and a bright flash shot out from his Falcon II Sniper, blasting the Howitzer.
The Manchu Empire's Howitzers began to retreat.
At this time, Ming Shu Wu and Wu Tian Dao had arrived to provide reinforcements. Each of them possessing the skill Earth Manipulation. They conjured earthen walls, managing to block Yue Zhong's trajectory. The remaining 5 Howitzers stopped their firing and began to move for another location.
"Time to retreat!" Yue Zhong kept his Falcon Sniper, eyeing the approaching Manchurian troops and quickly turned around to make his way back towards Tian Mu Town. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible to deal with the entire elite force.
Yue Zhong's speed had already reached 30 times that of a person which even a Type 3 Mutant Beast would find hard to beat. The White Armor troops on their Black Stallions could only watch helplessly when Yue Zhong destroyed 5 of their Howitzers before returning to Tian Mu Town casually.
Ao Dou looked at Yue Zhong's back, his gaze turning dark, "Within Tian Mu Town, there's actually such an expert amongst the Hans. It truly is a calamity for our Great Manchurian Empire."
After the world changed, many top Evolvers already had the abilities to influence the total might of an entire faction. A single high-level Evolver could potentially wipe out a team of elite soldiers. There were some who could even take on an entire battalion.
Ao Dou reported the outcome to Xuan Zhen, prompting Xuan Zhen to make a decision, "We need to crush their resistance entirely!!"
The Howitzers thus began another volley of blasts, intending to blitz through the defences of Tian Mu Town.
30 IFVs, 8 tanks, 40 gun-mounted vehicles as well as a thousand motorbicycles formed a fearsome armored fleet, charging forwards with the 1,000 soldiers of the 8 Banners Army.
Such formation was already rare and extremely domineering in this apocalyptic world. Few factions could stand up to it. It was through such a method that the Manchu Empire had managed to raze 2 huge factions with over 10,000 survivors to the ground, exemplifying the idiom 'using a butcher knife for the chicken.'
Xuan Zhen was placing more importance on Tian Mu Town purely because they had been able to repel the 3,000-strong force of the Gold Wolf Riders. Such a combat strength was enough for him to want to strike them down.
Seeing the entire armored fleet approaching, many of the experts of the alliance were dismayed.
Even the countenance of Pi Jian Yi was unsightly. His sword beams were truly overpowering but he had no confidence that he could slice through those tanks and armored vehicles. Furthermore, a single blast from them could kill him on the spot.
Moreover, there were 30 IFV's following behind the tanks, and those IFV's had powerful cannons and heavy machine guns themselves. They were enough to wreck a powerful Evolver's body.
As the armored forces began to charge through Tian Mu Town, the 8 tanks took the vanguard position, blocking all the bullets firing at them. They adjusted their cannons and began to blast the bunkers.
The tanks were the strongest attack force of the Manchu Empire. Many factions would quiver in their shoes when they saw them.
"What do we have to fear?! I'll deal with the tanks. Watch how I destroy them!"
Yue Zhong pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun and fired at one of the tanks. With a bright flash of light, the shot instantly pierced the tank, leaving a hole.
Yue Zhong continued to fire 5 more shots at that tank. 5 lights blasted through it, causing it to explode soon after.
"Awesome!!!"
"That's great!!!"
"Long live Alliance Chief!!!"
Seeing the fate of that tank at the hands of Yue Zhong, many of the warriors instantly roared out excitedly as their morale rose sharply.
To these Han warriors, the tanks were the cause of their headaches. With the terrifying defence and offensive potential, they were usually helpless. However, Yue Zhong had destroyed one easily. Suddenly, these tanks no longer seemed invincible.
Yue Zhong clapped his hands and Lo Guang led men bringing out 40 anti-tank rocket launchers as well as 60 rocket launchers. "These are weapons I've prepared for everybody. Use them to take down the invaders!"
A number of agility-based Enhancers and those with Marksmanship or Firearms abilities stepped up to help themselves to the weapons. They then stepped back to the battlefield with renewed resolution.
Inside Tian Mu Town, the Radiant Sun Triad were fighting a desperate battle as well. Using their rifles and machine guns to attack the tanks and armored vehicles in vain. The tanks could easily destroy the fortifications they had painstakingly built, instantly killing the soldiers within.
As the tanks paved the way, a number of IFV's and gun-mounted vehicles charged in with troops of Manchu soldiers.
Tian Mu Town now had the weapons to counter the tanks and this caused Xuan Zhen to be infuriated. He wanted to hurry and subjugate the troops, hoping to make use of his advantage in firepower to overwhelm them. Every single tank was a precious resource to a faction. The destruction of any one them caused Xuan Zhen to weep in his heart.
As the Manchu forces began to march through the town, there was a sudden loud explosion beneath one of the soldiers, blasting his legs apart. The shockwave sent him soaring through the air as he screamed.
Upon seeing this, the rest of the Manchu soldiers felt a chill in their hearts, taking more careful steps.
Another 8 were taking careful strides in Tian Mu Town, when large holes appeared beneath their feet and they plunged into the 4m deep holes. Their bodies were then pierced by the steel spikes implanted within. 4 of them were instantly killed, while the remaining 4 screamed in agony.
A small squad were proceeding through the blasted zone, intending to search for survivors.
Peng!
Peng!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out. With 3 soldiers having their heads blasted apart instantly, the rest of them were shocked and tried to duck for cover.
Just as they got behind their covers, to the shock of 3 soldiers, homing arrows appeared beside them and pierced their bodies, as they screamed out.
At another part of town, 10 soldiers led a few IFV's as they proceeded through.
"Manchu dogs! Die!" A single young man suddenly appeared and fired a rocket at the IFV.
With a bright flash of light, the IFV combusted in a ball of explosion. If it were a tank, it might have been able to withstand a few rockets. However, the slightly weaker IFV's could not withstand the blasts.
Peng! Peng!
There were some experts within the 10 of them and they hurried to fire at the youth, turning him into a sieve.
One IFV began to fire wildly with its machine gun chugging loudly, as a rain of bullets strucked one Han Enhancer, leaving him deader than dead.
Another Manchu Enhancer waved out his huge blade, decapitating his Han opponent, his head soaring through the air, and blood splattering onto the ground.
The entire Tian Mu Town had now turned into a meat grinder, with numerous soldiers on both sides losing their lives. It was simply a slaughter of both sides. One side, the Manchurians intent on massacring the Hans. The other, the Hans intent on fighting for their lives and honor. With the threat of death, even the most cowardly of men would become fierce beasts.
Yue Zhong had led 10 of his Guards to rush to the frontlines. He was wielding the Electromagnetic Gun, searching for the tanks, blasting them one by one.
Although Yue Zhong had the ability to use his Art of Fear to scare the numerous soldiers to death, the current state of the battle was that the Hans were at a disadvantage, and there weren't any likely candidates to pilot the tanks. Hence, he chose to destroy the tanks.
Yue Zhong charged about on the battlefield, killing numerous enemies with White Bones by his side unleashing its inhuman abilities as well.
White Bones made use of its sharp bone spikes to help it run along certain structures, defying gravity, while its bone blades would slash through the necks of unsuspecting enemies. It was truly like a demon. Its methods of killing was cruel and merciless. From time to time, it could even manipulate 10 sharp bone spikes to shoot out. Its speed was three times faster than Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong and White Bones continued to shine brightly on the battlefield, attracting the rest of the Manchurian experts to target them.
With the majority of the attacks concentrated on Yue Zhong and his team, Tenpyo Saka was free to exhibit her prowess as an unparalleled assassin. From time to time, she would appear behind a White Armor soldier silently, plunging her blades through their necks before disappearing again for another chance.
By the time Yue Zhong destroyed the 5th tank, the elite soldiers of the Manchu troops had already joined in the fray. Sheng Quan, Ji Wen, and Duo Xi led 240 White Armor troops to charge into the fray, making their way of Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong, White Bones as well as the Guards were considered the top Evolvers of Tian Mu Town, and with their insane combat strength, they continued to fight at the frontlines, killing over 200 Manchu elites.
Sheng Quan, Ji Wen and Duo Xi had deployed all their strength entirely to annihilate this group of Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong and his team had already long since become the core and hope of those in Tian Mu Town. If it wasn't for them, Tian Mu Town would have long since collapsed.
If the Manchurian troops could cause Yue Zhong and his group to disappear, then the defence of Tian Mu Town would likely crumble.
"Have you finally arrived? Let me give you a present!" Yue Zhong eyed the approaching 240 elite White Armor troops and pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun, firing at them.
A bright light flashed, penetrating Sheng Quan's body, making him fall from his mount, leaving a huge gaping hole in his chest. This terrifying Evolver hadn't had the chance to demonstrate his prowess and was instantly killed by Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong then fired at the other 2 who were riding similar mounts as 2 shots that could pierce tanks blasted towards Ji Wen and Duo Xi.
Ji Wen's danger perception was higher and the moment he felt the danger, he quickly got down from his horse. A powerful bright light shot past his body, barely brushing past him.
As for Duo Xi, he wasn't as fortunate as Ji Wen, as his chest was also pierced by that shot, his corpse fell from the back of the horse before being trampled by the other mounts of the White Armor forces.
Of the 3 generals that led the White Armor forces to attack Yue Zhong, 2 had lost their lives to him. One was forced down from his mount, and this greatly affected the morale of the troops.
Yue Zhong continued to fire his Electromagnetic Gun without stop. Each stop blasting apart the bodies of the White Armor elites. Not even the Mutant Beast hides on their bodies could help them.
Ji Wen tore off the eye-catching yellow robe on him and hid behind a troop of his soldiers, pointing at Yue Zhong and shouting loudly, "Charge! Charge for me!!! He's only a single person! As long as we can charge, it would be our victory!!"
As a vanguard, Ji Wen was supposed to charge forth, yet now he was hiding behind his troops and didn't dare to lead.
Under Ji Wen's orders, the somewhat chaotic White Armor troops began to attack Yue Zhong once again. These were after all, the bravest elites of the Manchurian Empire. They ate the best and slept with the prettiest of women. Even if it were a devil in front of then, they would dare fight.
"Retreat!!!" Yue Zhong had fired off 50 shots of the Electromagnetic Gun, killing his enemies before retreating explosively.
The speed of the Black Stallions were twice as fast as ordinary humans, and if they exerted strength, they would be able to cross a distance of 300m in no time. These 190 White Armored soldiers thus got on their horses and made their way towards the inner parts of Tian Mu Town.
The moment they entered Tian Mu Town, those White Armored Soldiers quickly got down and surveyed the positions, checking the places Yue Zhong and his party had gone through safely and quietly.
5 White Armor soldiers made their way through the street that had been ravaged by the bombs and cannons of their side, when suddenly, a White Bones appeared through a very old-fashioned brick wall, piercing the heads of the soldiers.

Chapter 618: Meat Grinder!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
After making short work of 5 White Armor soldiers, White Bones leapt down from the debris and scuttled up a building like a ghost. It continued along the dark alleys, ready to strike out anytime.
3 White Armor soldiers were continuing along the wasted parts of town, when all of a sudden, a dark shadow leaped out from behind them. Their heads flew through the air as their headless corpses slumped to the ground.
Tenpyo Saka disappeared into the darkness again, having killed those 3 soldiers. Her strength laid in assassination and with such a complicated terrain and dark environments, it was naturally the best condition for her.
The 190 members of the White Armor army had scattered around in town and their assault had just gone on for a short while when 30 of their members were disposed of. This forced them to gather again to proceed as a troop.
As they reformed, their speed naturally slowed but their defence became tighter, making it hard for anyone to launch sneak attacks.
Behind, there were another 1,000 Manchurian elite soldiers ready to blitz right through.
Yue Zhong led his Guards to withdraw temporarily, conceding some posts to the Manchu Empire.
There were too many enemy soldiers. If they were to be trapped, as strong as they were, Yue Zhong and his team would definitely die.
"It's time! They can all go to hell!" Yue Zhong eyed the soldiers from afar, his gaze turning cold as he pressed the remote control in his hands.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Terrifying explosions rang out one after another, as the entire devastated region blew up. Within those explosions, the 1,000-strong Manchu elite forces as well as the 160 White Armor soldiers were either killed instantly or heavily injured. Their wails and screams rang out as the ground was littered with corpses and dismembered body parts.
Ximen Lie wanted to establish the Great Han Alliance and there were plenty of explosives and remote-controlled bombs in his arsenal. He even had talents with the ability to construct bombs in his ranks. While the experts in the Radiant Sun Triad might not compare with the rest, it was still precisely because of their explosives that they carved out a territory for themselves.
Every single faction had something they could boast about in the Central Plains. Some had powerful leaders, some had numerous experts, while others relied on a certain strength of their own.
Yue Zhong brought them all together under the banner of the Han Alliance and forced them to a corner, pushing them to unleash their hidden trump cards and strength.
From afar, Xuan Zhen saw the earthshaking explosion in Tian Mu Town and a bad feeling rose up in heart.
A scout came up to him and kneeled: "My Liege!! Zhao Liang Dong and his team had died, while 500 of his 1,000-strong army had died, 200 heavily injured. Ji Wen and the rest are dead as well!"
When Xuan Zhen heard this, he immediately screamed out in fury and despair, "Damnable Yue Zhong! Bastard! This Emperor will certainly kill you! I will make sure your death doesn't come easy!!!"
Having lost his 1,000-strong 8 Banners Army, Xuan Zhen truly felt the pinch. These were not some random survivors that had trained to become soldiers. Rather, they had been elite soldiers that had fought along his side ever since he started his conquest. They might not be comparable to the Gold Wolf Riders but they were still renowned in the Central Plains. With their deaths, Xuan Zhen felt like throwing up blood.
Xuan Zhen roared out in fury: "Kill!!! Kill!!! Kill!!! This Emperor will go out to kill those motherfucking Han dogs!!!"
Xuan Zhen had been an ordinary farmer prior to the apocalypse but this Manchu Empire was carved out painstakingly by him. After he had become Emperor, his skills and level had stagnated a little, being weaker than Quan Sheng but he was still one of the top few Evolvers.
"No!! My Liege, you cannot be rash!"
"Be appeased, my Liege!!! Be appeased! Those Han dogs are just ants. Our army will definitely win. Your precious body cannot be harmed!"
"Be appeased, my Liege!!!"
A number of the officials got down on their knees and began begging. The Manchu Empire was also an authoritarian state. Hence, Xuan Zhen held a high position in their minds. If he were to die, the entire country would be plunged into chaos.
The strong preyed on the weak, this was the rule in the Central Plains. If the Manchu Empire was to really crumble, the various factions would gobble them up without leaving anything. For the prosperity of the country and their own sake, they would definitely not wish for Xuan Zhen to be in jeopardy.
One of the officials suggested, "My Liege, it's been a long day. The soldiers are exhausted. Why don't we withdraw the troops for today and resume battle tomorrow?"
Xuan Zhen looked at the sky, noting that the sun had already set. There was not much daylight left and the Manchu forces were adept at battles out on the fields, not in city breaches.
Xuan Zhen pondered before giving the order reluctantly, "Withdraw!"
With that order, the Manchu troops that had been subjected to the numerous deaths and casualties quickly pulled out. They were still elite soldiers. After all, even with the withdraw, they didn't collapse.
The Han forces had similarly lost a lot of comrades and many are heavily injured. Most of them were exhausted and had no energy left to chase after the retreating Manchu forces. Some even directly laid on the ground to sleep right after the Manchu forces withdrew.
After Xuan Zhen obtained the results of the battle, he had been upset. Having activated 4,000-troops to march on Tian Mu Town, they had actually lost 1,900 with 500 heavy casualties. Only the remaining thousand were fine. They had lost 6 out of 8 tanks, 18 of their IFV's and 20 gun-mounted vehicles. All 3 White Armor forces had been wiped out. This was truly one of the most devastating losses that had struck the Manchu Empire. In addition, over a thousand 8 Banners soldiers lost to the Gold Wolf Riders, cutting the Manchu force by half.
On the other side, Yue Zhong's forces had huge losses as well. Of the 6 big triads, the leaders of the Pink Triad, Heavenly Wheel sect and Golden Wolf Triad had died and their experts were wiped out. Of the 430 Han independent heroes, 260 had died, and the rest were in various states of injuries. As for the 7,000 survivors, 800 had died to the blasts and gunfire.
Most of the defensive measures of Tian Mu Town had been expended, their bombs utilized, and their landmines together with the traps are fully set off. Even their remote-controlled bombs had been fully spent and the soldiers were all exhausted to the point of collapsing.
The entire Tian Mu Town was in shambles and all the warriors were tired. They had held on forcefully through willpower as the pressure by the Manchu forces had been too much.
Yue Zhong led the remaining 8 Guards to walk amongst the people, consoling the broken and encouraging the hopeless.
When Yue Zhong appeared, most of these soldiers were all excited. His performance had amazed them. Killing over 200 soldiers, destroying 6 tanks and he had even been fighting at the frontlines the whole time. He led his Guards to provide assistance everywhere they could, repelling many of the Manchu elites. If it weren't for Yue Zhong, Tian Mu Town would have long fallen.
Yue Zhong ordered Ximen Lie to pick out another 2,000 able-bodied people to be drafted into various units. He even provided guns and sabres to equip these temporary fighters.
These survivors were mainly a motley bunch. If it were a clash on the battlefield, they would easily be killed. However, in the current state of Tian Mu Town, it was still possible for them to do battle. Of course, this was discounting skill level.
By the time everything was done and night had fallen, Yue Zhong ordered for food to be distributed to all the soldiers.
The soldiers dug in with gusto, eating their buns and drinking a little hot wine. It would likely be their last meal anyway.
Pi Jian Yi came up to Yue Zhong and asked with concern, "Alliance Chief! What do we do now? If they continue tomorrow, we might not be able to hold on."
Although Tian Mu Town now had an additional force of 2,000 soldiers, they were not versed in their weapons and it was impossible to expect them to fare well against experienced soldiers.
The Manchu forces had about 4,000 even after their heavy losses. If they truly hardened their hearts to go all out, Tian Mu Town was unlikely to remain standing.
After such a tough battle, Pi Jian Yi and the rest of the prideful experts had no choice but to admit that Yue Zhong was truly strong and had come to obey his commands wholeheartedly.
Yue Zhong's gaze flashed with a solemn light, "I know. Tonight will be the crux. If we want to protect Tian Mu Town, it will depend on tonight's outcome!"
Pi Jian Yi faltered, "Night raid? We have too many clowns and it's not suitable for an extended battle. Chief, isn't it too risky?"
Yue Zhong sat down and closed his eyes: "Rest well and recover!"
"Forget it! At most, I'll just sacrifice this life of mine! In any case, I've killed my fair share today!" After which, Pi Jian Yi also sat down directly.
The rest of the 7 also sat down to regain their stamina.They were all exhausted, after having to run about everywhere to kill their enemies. Even if they were top Evolvers, their expenditure of their spirit and stamina was not low as well.

Chapter 619: Assassinating Xuan Zhen!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
As night fell, under the cover of the darkness, Yue Zhong, his 8 Guards, Tenpyo Saka, Zhao Jing Lei and a few others crept out of Tian Mu Town. This was the remaining elite forces that could be activated. The other experts of the remaining 3 triads were too exhausted and needed to rest. There was only the peak-level experts of the Guards as well as Zhao Jing Lei who could still put up a fight.
"Leader!" In the dark, Bai Xiao Sheng leading 80 elites, appeared in front of Yue Zhong.
"So he still had some reinforcements!" Seeing the appearance of Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest, Pi Jian Yi and the other Guards were all shocked and a sense of excitement welled up in their hearts.
Now that the situation was dire, having extra strength was always better.
Yue Zhong nodded lightly and led his men towards the camp of the Manchu Empire forces.
The campsite had thick steel wires set up around it as well as countless sharp wooden fences around it. Outside of the fence, there were sharp roadblocks as well as deep trenches behind the fences. At every major entrance, there were machine guns and defence points ready to engage in any potential enemy. There were countless sentries all around the camp as well, including a number of large lights sweeping the external areas.
Being one of the largest factions of the Central Plains, it was a given that their defence would be tight unlike those miserable smaller factions that lacked proper fortifications.
Yue Zhong ordered: "The whole lot of you, wait here! Tenpyo Saka, come with me."
Amongst the Evolvers present, only Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka were extremely well-versed in stealth, night combat and assassination. The rest of his elites might be strong enough to deal with all of the guards of the camp but it would definitely alarm the other experts of the Manchu Empire.
Tenpyo Saka nodded expressionlessly and activated her Second Order Stealth, disappearing into the night.
Yue Zhong followed suit and disappeared as well.
"The Alliance Chief truly has many tricks up his sleeves." Pi Jian Yi thought silently as he watched Yue Zhong fade away.
During the day, Yue Zhong had used his Electromagnetic Gun to take down numerous enemies and his prowess had left deep impressions amongst all those present. Now, during the night, he even had the ability to engage in assassinations. Such an expert was rare to Pi Jian Yi.
Yue Zhong evaded all the searchlights, making use of the darkness to sneak into the camp noiselessly. With the cover of his Second Order Stealth, there was absolutely no way for the sentries to discover his presence.
"That should be the lodgings of an important person. I should kill him." Yue Zhong wasn't too sure of the layout of the camp and had to fumble around. Hence, he chose the most eye catching tent and made his way there.
Outside the golden tent, there were 8 guards stationed and they held rifles as they radiated an imposing aura. No one would be able to escape their watchful gaze.
Yue Zhong instantly activated his Art of Fear, as a strong Spiritual blast enveloped the 8 guards, their vision turned black.
Yue Zhong made use of the window to rush into the tent. The moment he entered, he disengaged the Art of Fear and the 8 Guards regained their senses. Due to the short instant, they weren't affected too badly but they weren't sure what had happened either.
Inside the lavish tent, there were luxurious Turkish rugs on the ground and beautiful crystal lamps are hanging around. On a small podium, there was a redwood table with a large and imposing emperor seat. 2 bookcases were right beside the seat, filled with countless books.
Yue Zhong had just entered the tent when he heard a number of hurried footsteps. His heart skipping a beat as he dashed behind one of the bookcases and casted his Second Order Stealth again.
Curtains were pushed to the side as Xuan Zhen walked in from another part of the tent. The other 3 were precisely Ao Dou of the White Armor troops, Duo Ma who led the armored battalion, as well as Bao-Er Tai who led the 8 Banners Army.
Ao Dou and the other 3 were the trusted aides of Xuan Zhen and were the main pillars of the Manchu Empire. They were faithfully loyal to Xuan Zhen.
Xuan Zhen sat on the Emperor seat and looked to Duo Ma as he asked, "Duo Ma? How confident are you in taking down Tian Mu Town?"
Tian Mu Town's current fighting force was enough to alarm Xuan Zhen and he was worried about the outcome of the battle the next day. Should they fail, they would truly become a laughing stock of the Central Plains and worse, they would lose much of their forces. At the same time, it would cause Tian Mu Town's prestige to rise and if they don't manage to wipe the Han Alliance out, there would be many more who might join in the future.
Duo Ma answered with confidence, "My Liege, rest assured, Tian Mu Town is at the end of its ropes. Your subordinate dares to guarantee that the current actual force may not even number more than 300. Even if they equip the survivors with weapons, they're a bunch of ordinary people and aren't cause for concern. Tomorrow noon, I will make sure to crush their resistance and present Tian Mu Town as a gift for you, my Liege."
Duo Ma was confident of his words based on the intel he had obtained from his subordinates and made a judgement on the current state of Tian Mu Town.
Duo Ma looked at Dou Ao, his gaze unfriendly, "The only variable I'm concerned about is Yue Zhong. His strength is unfathomable. If he brought experts to defend, we might pay a heavy price. Today, if the White Armor Army had taken down Yue Zhong, we could have already conquered Tian Mu Town. As the captain of the White Armor troops, Ao Dou, is there anything you want to say?"
Duo Ma and Ao Dou were both subjects of Xuan Zhen but they had friction between the both of them. Every time there was a chance, they would not hesitate to poke at each other.
Ao Dou glared coldly at Duo Ma, "Tomorrow, I'll bring all my soldiers to deal with Yue Zhong. Even if we can't kill him, we will draw him away from Tian Mu Town."
Ao Dou had seen the insane speed Yue Zhong was capable of. As compared to most other Evolvers, he knew there was no way they could hold him down. However, with the strength of the White Armor forces, it shouldn't be too much to force Yue Zhong away from Tian Mu Town.
As Ao Dou and Duo Ma were starting to argue, Yue Zhong, who had been hiding behind the bookshelf, activated his Shadow Steps. He burst out with a speed 30 times that of a normal person and in addition to the Accelerate skill, with his Type 5 Treasure Windspeed Boots, his entire person was like a shooting star that shoots at Xuan Zhen. As long as he could take him down, the entire Manchu Empire was sure to collapse.
Yue Zhong suddenly burst out and no one in the tent was even prepared for something like this. Furthermore, his speed was simply too fast and in that instant, Yue Zhong's blade had already sliced down at Xuan Zhen's neck.
Xuan Zhen's eyes flashed with shock but he didn't even have the chance to react.
Just as Yue Zhong's blade was sure to decapitate Xuan Zhen's head, a bright bronze light radiated around Xuan Zhen's neck, turning into a shield that protects him.
Yue Zhong's Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade landed on the bronze shield, his 12-times Strength bursting out. However, all it did was to cause a loud 'Dang', and the bronze shield did not budge.
"Truly the head of an empire, with such a life-saving treasure. Killing him is not going to be simple." Yue Zhong thought to himself.
"Stop!" Ao Dou was extremely alarmed and furious. He hurriedly shot forward and activated his Gravity Manipulation ability. Yue Zhong immediately felt a 4-times gravitational force weighing down on him. It felt like he was suddenly carrying a large boulder on his back, making it hard for him to maintain his speed. If it wasn't for his 12-times Strength, he might have already been forced to the ground from that gravity.
"Assassin! Protect the King! Protect the King!" Duo Ma pulled out his handgun and fired a few shots at Yue Zhong as he screamed out loud.
"Go to hell!!" Bao-er Tai roared out in fury, his body suddenly turning large. His clothes ripped apart, and he became a were-bear, his height over 3m and his body covered in powerful furs. His ability was to transform into a were-bear, and with a speed of 12-times that of a person, he pounced towards Yue Zhong.
"You can leave your head behind for this Emperor!" Xuan Zhen had also recovered, and he shot forwards like an arrow, his right hand carrying a powerful bronze-coloured Dou Qi, his fist whistling with a terrifying speed.
"Dou Qi!! This fellow is indeed tough!!" Yue Zhong was taken aback and immediately pushed the Dark Dou Qi within him. Instantly, the gloomy aura covered his entire body, relieving the effects of the gravitational force on him by over two times. He also swung out with a fist at mach speed to meet Xuan Zhen's fist.
The 2 heads of their respective factions could be considered the peak experts of the current apocalyptic world, and their fists were about to clash!
Following a loud, terrifying sonic boom, Yue Zhong was sent soaring through the air, crashing into the crystal lamps hanging from the roof. The lamps shattered, and he flew out of the tent.
Yue Zhong felt his organs jolted, his breath caught in his chest, as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had not yet enhanced his Dark Dou Qi, and could not compared to the thrice-enhanced Bronze Dou Qi of Xuan Zhen. If it wasn't for his high Endurance, he would have been pulverized.
Yue Zhong immediately sent out 2 powerful flaming tornadoes right at the tent, engulfing the people inside.
When he set fire to the gold tent, he activated his Shadow Steps and rushed about in the camp, setting fire everywhere while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Emperor Xuan Zhen is dead!! Emperor Xuan Zhen is dead!! Everyone, hurry flee!! Emperor Xuan Zhen is dead!!"

Chapter 620: Burning Camp!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Flames arose from various parts of the Manchurian camp. Soldiers were burnt to crisp amidst their pitiful wails and screams. A number of soldiers managed to escape and were running amok in the camp.
When the soldiers heard Yue Zhong's shout and saw the huge flames consuming the large gold tent, they were all shocked out of their wits, and the camp was plunged into chaos. Many fled in different directions.
"Do it!!!" Bai Xiao Sheng heard the commotion and the shouts of Yue Zhong and his eyes flashed with a cold light as he led the elites under him towards the camp.
The various snipers within the elite team pulled out their weapons and began sniping the Manchurian soldiers.
Peng! Peng!
Following the sounds of gunfire, a number of sentries had their heads blasted into bits and pieces.
Bai Xiao Sheng charged towards the camp with a speed not losing out to Lightning. The blades in his hands swiftly sliced through the various defences, and made his way in.
At this time, the entire Manchurian camp was burning and the soldiers were panicking. They were easily dispatched by Bai Xiao Sheng and his team.
Xuan Zhen leaped out of the burning tent, into the skies with a huge amount of bronze-greenish Dou Qi, as he roared, "This Emperor is right here! This Emperor is not dead!!!"
The earth shook, as a large earth pillar shot towards the skies. After raising about 10 meters, it opened up to reveal Ao Dou and Bao-Er Tao within.
Ao Dou shouted loudly, "We're fine! Everyone, heed my command! Don't panic! Regroup and get in your formations!"
Under Xuan Zhen and Ao Dou's enraged shouts, the entire Manchurian camp heard their words. However, it was burning badly everywhere. All the soldiers were still panicking and no one could remain calm.
Hong! Hong!
Yue Zhong's Devil Flame managed to consume a particular storage that housed ammunition and explosives, causing it to instantly blow up.
Xuan Zhen watched with horror and screamed out in fury, "Damn bastard!!! Damn bastard!!! Yue Zhong, I want your corpse to be dismembered!!! I will definitely tear you apart!!!"
Those explosives and ammunition were the precious resources of Xuan Zhen. As the army was backward, they could only manually reload those spent bullets and scrap together a few new ones. These supplies were purely from the past and the storage itself housed over 70% of the Manchurians' supplies. Now that Yue Zhong had destroyed them, his Howitzers were basically useless.
After he roared out with fury, he began chasing after Yue Zhong together with Ao Dou and Bao-Er Tai.
A number of White Armor experts swiftly flocked around Xuan Zhen and his team, forming a fearsome squad.
Yue Zhong did not seem to care about Xuan Zhen as he kept on firing his Devil Flame everywhere, burning through the supplies. Each time he come across a soldier, he would just slaughter the unfortunate soldier instantly. The entire Manchurian camp had been turned upside down because of him.
One White Armor soldier was giving chase when suddenly, a blade noiselessly sliced through his heart from a dark corner.
The soldier heaved his last breath and fell down in silence while the blade disappeared.
Tenpyo Saka watched the fallen White Armor soldier, silently vanishing into the night to search for a worthy prey. She loved to assassinate powerful experts. Each time she killed one, there was a sense of achievement and superiority.
Xuan Zhen and the rest continued to give chase to Yue Zhong. Although they were beyond being enraged, they were basically helpless.
Ao Dou immediately proposed, "My Liege! This cannot go on! If we continue to chase him, we'll only be led around by the nose. I feel that we should focus on settling the camp down and regroup the soldiers to deal with the invaders!"
Xuan Zhen seemed to snap out of his blind rage and gritted his teeth to say, "Fine!"
Once they had collected themselves, they swiftly began to reorganize their troops. There were many elite soldiers in this camp site and although many had been slain under the sudden attacks of Yue Zhong, Bai Xiao Sheng and his team, the rest managed to be gathered by their commanders and reformed their squads to launch a counter attack. Under Xuan Zhen's orders, these squads formed into a large battalion.
The moment these elites were gathered, Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest would not stand a chance.
"Disperse!" Bai Xiao Sheng judged the battlefield and gave the order to retreat. If they forced their way through, there was a chance to kill another 500 soldiers with his team. However, his own team would have to pay a hefty price. Therefore, he chose to retreat.
Under Bai Xiao Sheng's orders, all those elites who had been following Yue Zhong hurried away from the camp. They were the strongest in sudden attacks, night raids and assassinations. Forcefully battling out was not something they could or should do.
Compared to the zombies with lack of intelligence, a thousand soldiers were still more than a feat for 100 Evolvers.
The moment the Manchurian forces regrouped, they went to defend the granary. Should the granary be destroyed, then their hopes would be dashed as well. They wouldn't even have enough for the journey back.
The Manchurian troops guarded the granary tightly, with numerous White Armor soldiers stationed everywhere. Even Ao Dou, Xuan Zhen and Bao-Er Tai were standing guard in case Yue Zhong came.
"Do you think that I'll be helpless like that?" Yue Zhong stared at the granary and chuckled coldly, pulling out his Falcon II Sniper and aimed at one of the White Armor soldiers.
A bright flash of light shot out and the unfortunate soldier was blasted into pieces by the cannon round of the Falcon Sniper, his body parts splattered across the ground.
Seeing that, all the soldiers were frightened and quickly dove for cover, not daring to show their heads.
With a thought, Yue Zhong summoned the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python, opened its huge mouth and then he fired poisonous gas at the entire camp.
"Ah!!! Help!!!"
"Save me!!!"
"I don't want to die!!!"
"Help!!!"
The poisonous mist of the Green Jiao-Python was even able to turn the rocket launchers and firearms into smoking puddles of liquid. The moment it landed on those soldiers, they began to dissolve, their eyes blinded and their bodies twisting and writhing. Their pitiful screams echoed throughout the night as their flesh dripped off their bodies.
Ao Dou glared at the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python spitting poison non-stop and he hollered with a furious look in his eyes, "Damn beast!!! You dare summon a Type 2 poison-type Mutant Beast!!! White Armor Troops, kill that beast!!!"
6 White Armor elites with the Enhanced Bullet abilities immediately risked their lives to stand out and began firing at the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python.
6 flashes of lights blasted the body of the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python, resulting in 6 large holes as countless nodes of light dispersed from its body.
Having suffered heavy injuries, the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python writhed in agony and shrieked. Although it was just a summoned spirit beast, it can also feel pain when injured.
The Type 2 Green Jiao-Python twisted about before turning into light, disappearing from its position.
The corners of Yue Zhong's lips lifted and a cold look flashed in his eyes as he whisked out his Electromagnetic Gun and fired at the soldiers who had stood out.
A beam of light shot through the White Armor soldier, his body blasted apart.
Before the rest could even react in time, another shot from the gun had already claimed the life of another White Armor soldier.
The remaining 4 soldiers quickly dove behind cover again to avoid being hunted.
Yue Zhong then disappeared from his location, quickly moving towards another spot after killing those 2 White Armor soldiers.
"Fuck!!!" Ao Dou watched helplessly as Yue Zhong took out 2 of his troops which had the Enhanced Bullets ability and cursed furiously.
The skill Enhanced Bullets was a rare Level 3 ability, at the same time, it required the usage of a strong gun. Therefore, hunting strange beasts and zombies might not necessarily be easier for the users to level up as compared to those who used the melee weapons of the God and Devil System. Each and every one of those Enhancers with the Enhanced Bullet ability was treated carefully and in the entire Manchurian Empire forces, there were only 6 of them who had enhanced the skill thrice. Now, they had lost 2, which caused Ao Dou to feel the pang of the loss.
Yue Zhong had killed those 2 Enhanced Bullets experts and was now using his Second Order Stealth to hide in the dark, lying in wait. His eyes were fixed on the granary like a hungry tiger.
While the experts of the Manchu Empire were still there, he would not risk it to blitz into it.
In the dark of the night, the experts of the Manchu Empire did not dare shut their eyes, maintaining their high alert.
All of a sudden, a loud commotion with gunshots happened from a particular corner, attracting the attention of all the experts. By the time the White Armor soldiers got there, there were 5 additional corpses.
When the White Armor soldiers were drawn to that location, at another dark corner, 3 sharp bone spikes suddenly shot out from behind a huge boulder, nailing the soldiers to the ground.
When the elites turned their heads, White Bones had already retracted its bone spikes, leaping behind another huge boulder about 200m away, crawling on the ground like a predator. It disappeared in a few breaths.
Yue Zhong, White Bones and Tenpyo Saka were all adept at assassinating in the night without care for their faces. Every time they acted out, 2 or 3 would be killed and the pressure on the Manchu elites was mounting.
In the end, Ao Dou could not help but deploy the troops to tighten their perimeters, with the experts at the forefront. Yue Zhong and his team was forced to retract their weapons temporarily.
Early the next morning, many of the soldiers were already beyond exhaustion. They had been on the move since early the previous day, engaging the Gold Wolf Riders in a large-scale battle before entangling with the Hans in Tian Mu Town. They couldn't even get a decent night's rest due to Yue Zhong's pressure on them. Under such circumstances, they were already on the brink of collapse.
Xuan Zhen's eyes were bloodshot as he asked Ao Dou who had come forward to report, "How is it?"
Ao Dou's face was solemn, "We had lot 653 men last night, with 1,200 escaping. Right now, we only have about 2,800 soldiers remaining. With the ammunitions storage destroyed, our Howitzers can only fire another single volley."
When Xuan Zhen heard that, his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My Liege!!!"
"My Liege!!!"
The officials surrounding him quickly stepped forwards to support him.
Xuan Zhen wiped the blood off his mouth and spoke with difficulty, "Retreat!!! Convey my orders, we will withdraw immediately to the capital!!!"
One general was shocked and he immediately asked, "Why? My Liege, Tian Mu Town is at its wits' end. As long as we go at it with all our might, we will be able to take them down!"
Xuan Zhen's eyes flashed with clarity as he spoke each word slowly, "Last night, it was a team of 100 elites that had ambushed us. We might have the numbers now, but we are all tired. We can't even bring forth half of our strength. Even if we did conquer Tian Mu Town, we would have suffered greatly ourselves. That would leave us open for the Gold Wolf Riders and the Mongol King. We need to preserve our strength for now."
As the head of a faction, Xuan Zhen knew how to weigh the pros and cons. His troops were already pushed to their limits and were tired. Right now, it was imperative that they head back to their capital.
Following Xuan Zhen's orders, the Manchu Empire forces began to withdraw. They had arrived in arrogance and held the advantage, besting the Gold Wolf Riders of the Huangjin Clan. Yet now, they were forced to retreat in pathetic circumstances, with less than half their forces.
Seeing the Manchu forces withdrawing, Yue Zhong also heaved a sigh of relief. He had employed a number of tactics throughout the night, killing and assassinating them and had spent much of his Stamina and Spirit as well. He was likewise exhausted. If the Manchu Empire had insisted on attacking Tian Mu Town, he would have no choice but to fight it out with them, without any confidence of victory. Their retreat was the best option for both themselves and Yue Zhong.

Chapter 621: Victorious Troops!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: - -
"The Manchu troops have retreated!!! We have fought them off!!!"
"We have defeated the Gold Wolf Riders, and defeated the Manchu forces!! We're the strongest!!!"
"We're the strongest!! Our Han people are the strongest!!"
When the Manchu forces left, a resounding cheer erupted all across Tian Mu Town. All the heroes who had joined in the tough battle felt a sense of pride and elation. They had actually managed to fend off 2 strong factions of the Central Plains, and they could not help but feel a surge of pride. Furthermore, adding on to the brutal nature of the battle, they had gained a valuable experience, forging their mental fortitude and bearing as soldiers.
Only through war and the sweet taste of victory, that a unit could become elite. That was the reason why the troops of the past had such glorious histories, because they had forged themselves through countless battles and emerged victorious, become stronger as a whole.
During the Second World War, the German troops had continually emerged victorious over the British troops in Africa, causing the British troops to retreat constantly. It was because the British troops had their confidence shattered. It didn't matter even a unit was well-trained or well-equipped, if they had no confidence, it would be for naught. After that, the British troops had regained their confidence under the lead of Montgomery, and it was the same troop that defeated the German troops, flipping the results back on them.
Amidst the cheers, Yue Zhong led the 8 Guards and Bai Xiao Sheng towards the people.
"Long live the Alliance Chief!!"
"Long live Chief Yue Zhong!!"
These Han warriors caught sight of Yue Zhong and immediately exploded out with cheers. They wanted to give their excitement and boiling pride a voice.
Yue Zhong had been at the forefront of battle these few days, and it was he who had defeated the Fierce Dong-Er Molei, and destroyed a number of the armored vehicles of the Manchurian forces, as well as leading some soldiers to launch a night raid on the Manchu camp. All his battle records were spread by Pi Jian Yi and the others, causing the various Han warriors to acknowledge him as their alliance chief.
When they had begrudgingly agreed to Yue Zhong as their chief, it was because the situation had called for it. However, now, he had truly won them over.
Yue Zhong looked at all of them with a silent appreciative glance, these 100-over heroes left from the cruel battle were good seedlings for his troops in the future.
Yue Zhong stood among them and his voice boomed out, "I'm Yue Zhong! I'm your Alliance Chief Yue Zhong! You have defeated the Gold Wolf Riders! Defeated the Manchu Empire! You all are the strongest! I'm proud of you!! As a Han, I'm proud to have you all as warriors fighting for us!! You are all heroes!! Without your valiant efforts, the 7,000-survivors here would become the slaves of those animals! It is you all who have protected our comrades!! You guys are heroes! Worthy of pride and our admiration!!"
Many of them began to clap, their eyes brimming with tears. When they had arrived here initially, many of them had their own ambitions and thoughts. At this moment however, they were recognized as heroes, giving them a taste of the honor and glory to come.
"Let me know announce the establishment of the Victorious Troops! You are all part of this unit, and in the future, under your lead, the Manchu Empire, the Turks, the Mongol King will all be beneath our feet, and all our enemies will tremble at our name! We will use our cannons, and weapons to let them taste our might, and pay their blood debts!! We will use our cannons and weapons to protect our precious comrades!! Victorious troops, VICTORY ALL THE WAY!!"
"VICTORY ALL THE WAY!!"
"VICTORY ALL THE WAY!!"
"VICTORY ALL THE WAY!!"
The various Han heroes began to roar out with strong feelings. It was an infectious mood, as everyone, including the gun-totting survivors began to cheer out loudly.
Not long after, all the survivors in Tian Mu Town cheered at the top of their voices, the celebratory mood strong.
Yue Zhong then raised his hands, and the cheers came to a halt. He waved his hands, and a few of subordinates under Bai Xiao Sheng stepped forward carrying 2 large chests to the podium and revealed the contents to everyone.
Yue Zhong pointed to all the Evolving Liquid and announced, "These are Evolving Liquids! As long as you consume one, you can become an Evolver. You guys should be able to recognize the value of these vials. Now, they are yours! You are all heroes! I will grant strength to all of you, and hope that you can make use of this strength to kill our enemies, and protect our comrades!"
Ximen Lie looked at the boxes and his eyes opened wide with fervor and greed, "What?! Evolving Liquid!! There's actually something like that!?"
There was a vast difference between Evolvers and ordinary Enhancers. Each time they leveled, the distance would be pulled apart. Almost all Enhancers hoped to become Evolvers. However, Evolvers were rare, and even as the leader of the Radiant Sun Triad, Ximen Lie was not an Evolver.
Yue Zhong swept his gaze across the people, "Line up to collect it! There's only a limited amount on my hands, therefore I can only grant it to those who participated in the defence against the Gold Wolf Riders as well as the Manchurian forces. As for the rest, there will be chances to earn them. As long as you join the Victorious Troops, and obtain enough merits, I, Yue Zhong, hereby promise you that you definitely will become a strong Evolver. It's easy to use it, just have to inject in. After injection, you will have a fever for a day, and after resting for a day, you will become an Evolver. As to whether you want to accept it, it's up to you. I won't force those who aren't confident to try it."
The various Han heroes began to line up neatly to accept their Evolving Liquid. Many immediately injected themselves, as they trusted this leader who fought alongside them. However, there were likewise many who doubted. There were 50 of them who stood to one side, not willing to try it, just standing there eyeing coolly.
Since the onset of the apocalypse, and the crumble of society, human nature had truly changed. Although many of these heroes had fought alongside Yue Zhong, they still harbored a slight wariness. It was not easy to just trust someone and inject a substance that had unknown origins after all.
It could be poison, or worse, some form of control agent, then they would become puppets at the mercy of Yue Zhong's control, turning into a bunch of zombies.
After accepting the liquid, some of the Han heroes felt their bodies shuddering, and they slumped to the ground, panting loudly.
Witnessing this, many of them felt shocked, and turned to look at Yue Zhong, their gazes filled with slight suspicions. If he couldn't explain properly, they would immediately fall out with him.
"Alliance Chief, what is the meaning of this?"
"Alliance Chief, please explain!!"
Facing the scrutiny of the people present, Yue Zhong maintained his calm and said, "I've already mentioned this, in order to transform into an Evolver, after taking the liquid, you will burn with a fever, after a day, you will naturally recover and become an Evolver. All of you can wait a day, and see if my words are true or not!"
Seeing how firm he was, while many of the heroes were still uncertain, they didn't dare ask further.
After all, they have seen how casually he had slaughtered his enemies, and was likewise cruel and vicious in his handling of any resentment at the start. Before anything was certain, they didn't dare to have a falling out with him.
Yue Zhong summoned Ximen Lie, "Go get some nurses to take good care of these heroes!"
Ximen Lie replied courteously, "Yes! Alliance Chief!"
Currently, many of the Radiant Sun Triad's elites had perished in the battles, and there were only some ordinary warriors left. None of them were a match for Yue Zhong nor his Guards. Hence, Ximen Lie had long since abandoned all thoughts of vying for the Alliance Chief seat, instead, choosing to become Yue Zhong's subordinate.
80 women were selected by him to become temporary caretakers, in charge of all the fainted Han warriors. Some of them were worried that Yue Zhong might do something else, thus they offered to protect the their comrades and friends Yue Zhong naturally allowed them.
Early the next day, one burly Han warrior opened his eyes and immediately exclaimed, "Oh! Where's this?"
"Li Da Nu, you're awake!! How do you feel? Have you become an Evolver?"
"Li Da Nu, you're alright! How's your body?"
A few Han warriors saw that Li Da Nu had woken up, and immediately crowded around to ask.
Li Da Nu rubbed his eyes and stared blankly for awhile, before a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "En? Oh yes!!! HAHAHAHA!! This Father, I, have become an Evolver!!! This father has become an Evolver!! I even learnt the Werewolf Transformation ability!! This father is invincible!! Hahahaha!!!"
"Werewolf Transformation?! Transform for all of us to see!!"
"Come on, do it! Let's see if you're just boasting!!"
The crowd immediately hooted and egged him on, they knew while he had always been a Strength-based Enhancer, he definitely did not know the Werewolf Transformation before.
"Fine!! Let me show you guys!!" He roared out in mock fury, and immediately his muscles became ripped, fur grew everywhere on his body, and his frame lengthened itself. Within seconds, he had transformed into a powerful werewolf over 2m tall.
"He really became an Evolver!!"
"Holy, Alliance Chief's words were not false!!"
"Damn it!! I should have gone to get one!!"
Seeing Li Da Nu transformed into an Evolver, and even comprehending the powerful Werewolf Transformation skill, instantly leaping beyond their levels in strength, many of them who did not collect their Evolving Liquid felt regret and envious.

Chapter 622: Situ Jin!
Translator: - - Editor: - -
A number of the Han heroes also began to wake up from their coma, each of them having evolved to an Evolver. They had learnt new abilities, and their strength had undergone an earthshaking change.
This situation caused the entire Tian Mu Town to go crazy.
Those who had been eligible, but not did not take the Evolving Liquid due to their misgivings the day before, approached Yue Zhong and pleaded profusely, "Alliance Chief!! On account that I've given my all to protect Tian Mu Town, please grant me an Evolving Liquid!!"
Yue zhong eyed them coolly and rejected, "No way! I gave you guys the choice yesterday, and you guys did not treasure it. Let me give you this opportunity then. You have all become commanders of the Victorious Troops, I hope that you will use your strength to obtain merit in order to exchange for the Evolving Liquid. As long as your achievements are sufficient, I will grant you the Evolving Liquid, and help y'all become Evolvers In my hands, there are even better versions! As long as you accumulate merits! Spread the mighty name of the Victorious Troops and let our enemies fear us! Only then, I will gift you these precious gifts."
After they were rejected, those warriors began to join the Victorious Troops to undergo strict military training.
When they saw the astonishing effects of the liquid, many survivors were also tempted, and wanted to join the Victorious Troops to gain strength and make a name for themselves. The signup rate for the unit suddenly increased explosively.
Yue Zhong chose a good 2,000 seedlings to join.
After establishing the Victorious Troops unit, Yue Zhong then led the rest of the survivors back towards Qi Mu County.
Arriving there, Yue Zhong got Bai Xiao Sheng to train those 2,000 survivors, while assigning others to go collect the survivors of the other 10 Han factions.
After the battle in Tian Mu Town, the matter of Yue Zhong's leading of the Han Alliance to repel the Gold Wolf Riders and Manchu Empire soon spread throughout the Central Plains like wildfire.
Of the 10 Han factions, the Radiant Sun Triad had already become part of Yue Zhong's faction, while the chiefs of the Green Bamboo Triad, and Heavenly Demon Sect began to lead their 4,000 survivors to join Tian Mu Town. The Blue Triad, Red Triad, Golden Wolf Triad and even the Pink Triad also submitted to Yue Zhong, bringing their own survivors, instantly growing the faction to a mighty size of 30,000 people.
The attention of all the powers in the Central Plains soon fell onto these huge Han Alliance, and everyday, there would be solo warriors who arrived to join them.
Out in the Central Plains, besides the 3 large empires, the Han Alliance had suddenly become the 4th faction.
"Alliance Chief! Someone requests an audience!"
On a particular field, Ximen Lie came running, noting Yue Zhong training his body by carrying a large boulder. At the same time, he was under the pressure of 4-times gravity while activating his Dark Dou Qi.
Every day, after settling his affairs, Yue Zhong would use this method to train his Dark Dou Qi, in order to get a better sense of it. Sometimes, employing an additional skill that was familiar would mean an additional trump card on the field.
Yue Zhong threw the huge boulder to the ground, and took a deep breath, his eyes turning to fix on Ximen Lie, "Who's looking for me?"
Ximen Lie replied: "It's from the People's Army! The Mongol King Hu-E Ran's subordinate Guo Ming had led a troop of a thousand soldiers to attack them. The envoy is here to seek assistance. Chief, are you going to grant him an audience?"
Yue Zhong frowned as he pondered, before saying, "Let him in!"
A man in tattered clothes that looked dusty and pitiful, yet his stature straight and his gaze resolute came before Yue Zhong. He spoke, "Lieutenant Ying Kong of the Border Guards greets Chief Yue. I came seeking your assistance in deploying your troops to rescue our Huyan Town."
Yue Zhong looked at this man with appreciation and said, "Can! I can deploy my troops to your town. However, I want the survivors to all come under my faction, including your troops!"
Ying Kong stared right back at Yue Zhong without any fear, "I would like to ask Chief Yue a few questions!"
"Please ask!"
Ying Kong immediately shot, "First, If you were to lead the Han Alliance to defeat the Mongol King, the Manchu Empire, the Turk Empire, how would you deal with the survivors from these 3 factions?"
Yue Zhong did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Those whose hands had been stained by Han blood would be executed. Their families would become slaves. As for those ordinary citizens, as long as they did not partake in any activities in harming the Hans, and surrender, I can treat them as ordinary citizens as well. However, there will not be any privileges. In my Han Alliance faction, all citizens are equal, I would not mistreat any particular race just because. Likewise, there would not be any pardon any offences. Even any Hans within the 3 main factions, as long as their hands are dyed with their fellow Hans' blood, they would not be spared!"
Yue Zhong's principle had always been an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He would handle violence with violence, and repaid evil with evil. He had no particular hatred for the rest of the races, after all, when he was in university, he had many friends of different races as well.
However, in this apocalyptic world, there were many nationalistic or racist people. In the west, there was the Nazi Germany, the Japanese right-wing faction, the brutal nature of Country A, as well as the white supremacists of America and Europe as well. They all felt their own race to be the strongest and viewed other races with contempt.
During peace times, they already had a certain degree of power. In this world where trust was lacking, any nationalistic person could quickly gather like-minded individuals like a beacon.
Ying Kong then continued, "Second, half of the survivors in Huyan Town are Mongolians, how do you intend to deal with them?"
Yue Zhong replied indifferently, "If they didn't do anything wrong, they are still eligible to become my citizens. I'll treat them fairly just like the rest of the survivors, as long as they're willing to work, I can guarantee that their quality of life would not be worse off. If they have committed any major offences, then, they will be dealt with. This has nothing to do with their racial background, just themselves and their conduct. Same goes for the Hans in my camp."
Ying Kong looked at him fearlessly and said, "Good! Chief Yue, in that case, as long as you keep your promise and treat everyone fairly, the People's Army would join you. I, Ying Kong, am a Mongolian myself."
Many Mongolians had aspects of their lives that intertwine with the Hans, therefore, marriages between both sides were common. Not every Mongolian wanted to capture a Han to be a slave.
Although Ying Kong was Mongolian, he was a Border Guard with a strong sense of honor. He and his comrades had continued to protect the 800 survivors of Huyan Town through their resolute wills. To them, there were no distinction between Mongols or Hans, it was just Chinese and foreign invaders.
The actions of the self-proclaimed Mongol King of raiding various places to get slaves crossed a line with Ying Kong. He did not approve of it. Somehow, Guo Ming, Hu-E Ran's subordinate, had set his sights on Huyan Town and the 800 survivors there, intending to subjugate them. Since Ying Kong and the rest of his comrades were at their wits' end, they could only approach Yue Zhong for help.
Yue Zhong made the decision to assist, and immediately deployed Bai Xiao Sheng, Yin Shuang as well as 50 Special Forces Evolvers towards the base of the People's Army.
The Victorious Troops were still undergoing training, and under the guidance and instructions of the various elites who had been through battles, they were all slowly but surely getting stronger. Before their training ended, Yue Zhong wasn't willing to send them on a live exercise.
In his plans, this Victorious Troops will be one of the strongest armies he had to sweep through the Central Plains. He needed to ensure that they were of the highest standards.
Huyan Town was a small town in the Central Plains, with a population of about 2,000 in the past.
With the apocalypse, the Border Guards that had been stationed nearby managed to save 500 from the zombies. Due to their protection, the survivors from the surrounding areas began to come, and boosted the population to 800.
This small town had led a life of little conflict, and now, their peace was about to be disrupted. A thousand-strong unit of riders kicked up a storm of dust as they arrived in front of the town.
Guo Ming, as the leading captain of this unit, pointed to the town and ordered coldly, "Kill! The first person to make his way in will be promoted 3 ranks, and given 5 bulls, 10 beauties. After the town is ours, other than the Mongolians, everyone else is to be our slaves! Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
The riders charged forth with bloodthirsty looks towards Huyan Town!
Peng! Peng! Peng!
From Huyan Town, there were suddenly loud gunshots that rang out, instantly killing a number of riders.
However, due to the lack of firearms, as well as the absence of heavy firepower, there were only about 60 .81 rifles. Furthermore, having been utilized often, the bullets remaining were very limited.
A soldier came up to a man with a burly frame, a huge moustache and beard, and said, "Captain! I only have about 5 magazines left!"
This bearded soldier was the leader of the the Border Guards, Situ Jin.
Situ Jin replied, "Save the ammunition, let them come closer, then we fire!"
Another soldier had a face of concern, "Captain! The bullets are dwindling! I don't think we have more than 200, but they have a 1000 people, what do we do?"
Situ Jin looked at all of them, a grin on his face, "What's there to be worried about? Once the bullets are out, we still have our blades! Without our blades, we still have our teeth and fists! Protecting the people of the country is our duty! There are 800 of our fellow countrymen relying on us! Protecting them is our duty, our responsibility! I know it will be hard for us to live past today, if you want to leave, I won't blame you! You all have been the best soldiers this country could have gotten, and are my good brothers! Whether you choose to die here with me, or to leave and live on, you will forever be my close friends and brothers!"

One soldier replied passionately, "Captain! What're you saying? Those who wanted to leave would have long gone!"
Another chuckled and said, "Precisely! Since we all stayed on from the beginning, we knew this day would come sooner or later!"
Situ Jin looked at these 60 soldiers who had stayed behind with him with a gratified expression.
At the beginning, there were a total of 200 who had followed Situ Jin. However, 140 of them could not stand the slow decline of the town, nor were content with the status quo, hence they chose to head for greener pastures with other factions. Only Situ Jin and the remaining 60 of them held onto their beliefs resolutely, silently keeping guard over the survivors.
Situ Jin roared out and fired at one rider, shooting him down, "Great!! Then let's show our them fighting spirit!"
Following that, a number of gunshots rang out, and a few more riders fell from their horses.
Outside of Huyan Town, a huge ditch had been dug surrounding the entire town, forcing the riders of Guo Ming to get down from their horses to charge at the town Huyan Town was about to be embroiled in chaos.
Ying Kong and the rest saw the town about to be breached, and his face fell, "Shit!! Leader! Guo Ming and the rest had reached first!!"
"Do it! Kill anyone that resists!" Yue Zhong waved his hands and muttered coldly.
"Understood! Leader! Brothers, charge!!" Bai Xiao Sheng licked his lips, a fierce glint flashing across his eyes, as he led his men towards Huyan Town.
Following some gunshots, more soldiers under Guo Ming fell, their heads blasted.
Bai Xiao Sheng's team was made up entirely of elites, and they charged right at the troops of Guo Ming like a hot knife through butter.
The soldiers of Guo Ming were suppressed and had no choice but to seek cover. Their combat experience and ability was vastly inferior to the elite Evolvers under Bai Xiao Sheng, and were quickly at a disadvantage.
"Father!! I'll go help Father kill those baddies!" Yin Shuang smiled radiantly, before turning into a gust of wind and charging right for the enemy troops.
The moment Yin Shuang reached their area, many of the soldiers' heads were blasted by her fists.
At a glance, it was truly a horrible sight to witness heads exploding out of nowhere.
Ying Kong watched in shock, as Yin Shuang continued to tear through the enemies, "Strong!! How can there be such a strong existence?"
With just her ability alone, she could easily kill all the soldiers defending Huyan Town.
"The princess is still too strong! There's no chance for us to act!"
"Yes!! The princess is too overbearing!"
The elites under Bai Xiao Sheng could not help but discuss softly when they saw how tyrannical Yin Shuang was. It wasn't the first time they had seen her displaying her crazy strength, but each time they saw it, they were reminded of how pathetically weak they were.
"Strong!" Yue Zhong watched Yin Shuang annihilate the subordinates of Guo Ming with a complicated expression. If there were a hundred of organisms like her, Yue Zhong did not dare imagine what faction could possibly stand up to them.
If he were to exchange blows with Yin Shuang, Yue Zhong felt that he might still be able to hold on, but if there were 2 of her, he would be killed, without even a chance to flee.
300 soldiers died like ants, while the rest lost their will to fight, and quickly got on their mounts to escape.
Those on the horses were even more obvious targets, they had just come out of their covers, and were instantly shot down by Yue Zhong and his men.
Guo Ming roared in fury and activated his Second Rank Werewolf Transformation, turning into a powerful werewolf that charged right for Yin Shuang, "Beast!! I'll KILL YOU!!"
With a gust of wind, the little fist of Yin Shuang came blasting right at Guo Ming's head, causing this high-level Evolver to lose his head, his body crumpling to the ground.
With Guo Ming ended in one blow, the rest of his subordinates instantly lost their minds and hurried to flee. Some even threw their weapons down to surrender.
The soldiers that tried to flee didn't get very far, as they were quickly shot down by Bai Xiao Sheng and his team. This was a team that could take on over a hundred Evolver enemies, and it was not a problem to hunt down those fleeing soldiers.
After killing them, Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest then sent troops to go and collect those who had surrendered.
Situ Jin looked at Yue Zhong and the rest of his team that did not even number more than a hundred, his heart shaking with shock, "Strong! What vicious methods!"
The rest of the soldiers stared at that pretty and adorable Yin Shuang, whose white dress fluttered in the wind, her eyes filled with wonder. This was a girl that was cute and incredibly dangerous at the same time. The stark contrast between her and the bloody scene behind her was extremely obvious.
Ying Kong came up to Situ Jin in excitement and introduced Yue Zhong to him, "Captain! Captain! I'm back!! This is the leader of Qi Mu Town, Chief Yue Zhong of the Han Alliance!"
When the soldiers around Situ Jin heard this, their eyes flashed with a strange glint, as they looked towards Yue Zhong with caution. They were of different descent and were slightly wary of this Han.
After all, the Turk Empire, Mongol Empire and even the Manchurian Empire had acted out against one another, fighting for slaves. They were worried that this Han Alliance would turn out to be another racist hegemon.
Situ Jin saluted Yue Zhong and spoke, "I'm Situ Jin of the Borders Guard, and we're extremely grateful for your reinforcements."
Yue Zhong spoke warmly, "No need for thanks! This time, I've come with the invitation for Captain Situ to lead your troops to join us. Our Han Alliance do not segregate people by their descent or race. It all depends on your conduct and behaviour. I admire your efforts in protecting the survivors, and sincerely hope that you would join us."
Situ Jin thought for a long while, before replying, "And if I say no?"
The moment his words landed, Bai Xiao Sheng's eyebrows arched, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
The rest of the Evolvers beside him also stepped forward with billowing killing intent. The moment Yue Zhong gave the command, they would immediately eradicate these people.
Situ Jin and the rest truly did respect command, however to Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest, Yue Zhong's words were the absolute. They had brought their own troops to rush here and rescue them, in the hopes of salvaging the situation and getting the survivors.
Yue Zhong looked at Situ Jin and said slow:" If you're not willing, then forget it! As long as you promise to not be enemies, you're free to go. I can support you by giving you a 1,000 bullets and some other food stuff. However, the 800 survivors in Huyan Town have to become my citizens. There's no leeway for this. This is my bottom line."
It was rare for someone of such morals and virtue like Situ Jin even prior to the apocalypse.
With regards to this type of people, Yue Zhong was extremely favourable towards them. As long as they didn't get in his way, he was willing to take a step back for them, as an expression of his goodwill.
Hearing Yue Zhong's words, Situ Jin and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. They knew they weren't a match for Yue Zhong or his men. The moment there was a clash, they would undoubtedly die. They weren't afraid of death, but who was willing to die for naught? Furthermore, they could detect Yue Zhong's respect and admiration for them, and this caused them to have an increasing admiration for this young leader.
Situ Jin furrowed his brows slightly, as he stared straight at Yue Zhong and asked: "More than half of the survivors in Huyan Town aren't Han, how're you going to deal with them?"
Yue Zhong had a serious face, "Equal treatment! I've said this before, I will treat them like how I treat the Hans."
Situ Jin then expressed his agreement, "Good! I, Situ Jin, am willing to join you! I hope you will stick to your word and treat them all equally!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Yue Zhong saw how readily Situ Jin had decided to join in, and he immediately broke out in an appreciative grin. With all sorts of talents under him, as well as the addition of such exemplary soldiers, who were willing to die for their beliefs, it was truly a terrifying force to have.
Although Situ Jin and his troops were not much different from normal soldiers, with the Evolving Temple under Yue Zhong's control as well as the Evolving Liquid, in a short while, he could easily cause them to all undergo heaven-shaking transformations. All he lacked were people that he could trust, until now.
Yue Zhong eyed them and spoke, "Situ Jin, you've been in the service for quite a while, you must be quite clear on the various locations of the armories. I want to know the weapon and storage facilities you and your brothers are in charge of."
Yue Zhong wanted to get these soldiers into his wing because he knew they were privy to the locations of various military facilities. These facilities were definitely full of decent firepower. They were his targets.
As of now, a small portion of Yue Zhong's current firepower had been brought from Hunan, whereas the rest was won through battles.
Although there were already large scale manufacturing lines set up over at Guang Xi and Hunan, both bases also require the firepower. He had hoped to gain another large supply over here in the Central Plains. If he was successful, it would help with his conquests.
Situ Jin frowned and began to ponder, in his mind, those facilities were national treasuries, and were considered national secrets.
Ying Kong saw Situ Jin's hesitation and immediately spoke, "Captain! What are you still hesitating about? The country is already destroyed, and now, we're all struggling for survival! We need to protect the country, but how can we just rely on our bravery and fists? We can't protect anything like that!"
Ying Kong's words were like a bolt of the blue that shook Situ Jin, who remembered that they were almost prepared to go against the enemies with their melee weapons. He immediately understood.
"According to what I know, there're a total of 13 military facilities, located around these areas." Situ Jin brought out a map and started pointing at certain locations. "This place is small, and there had been a platoon stationed there. The things inside are most likely taken. These 2 are also bases of company-level, the items inside also likely claimed. This camp had been opened by the Mongol King. There's one location which I'm fairly certain that no one has touched yet, it's this!"
Situ Jin pointed to one particular valley, "In this Ulan Mountain Range, there's a field regiment secretly stationed there. In the past, I'd been deployed there once, and it's a very secretive location. There shouldn't be many who know of it. There's still a regiment's worth of equipment there."
When everyone heard it, their eyes lit up, their expressions excited.
In this apocalypse, a single IFV could cause a small-sized faction to quake in fear. 4 tanks were enough to plow through a 10,000-strong faction.
There were many tanks within a regiment's station, with assault helicopters, IFVs to boot. If they could gain the base, then Yue Zhong's Central Plain faction would grow yet another level of strength.
Situ Jin reminded them, "However, Leader, the Ulan Mountain Range is truly dangerous! According to what I know, there are plenty of Mutant Beasts lurking there, and it's a location of peril for humans. Many experts had tried to go there to hunt the Mutant Beasts to level up, but those who went had not come back. They're mostly like dead, having become meals for the Mutant Beasts!! It's extremely dangerous there!!"
Yue Zhong pondered a while before replying, "I got it!"
Situ Jin had become Yue Zhong's subordinate, thus the survivors in Huyan Town were automatically Yue Zhong's citizens. They were then herded out of the town, making their way for Qi Mu Town.
Yue Zhong had just arranged for the 800 survivors to move to Qi Mu Town, when there was a sudden appearance of a dust cloud about 10 miles in the distance from Qi Mu Town. A huge force had appeared.
One sentry caught sight of them, where there were plenty of riders, tanks, IFVs, gun-mounted vehicles, Howitzers, and his face fell, "No good!! It's the Mongol King's troops!! Quickly, report to the Leader!!"
"What? The Mongol troops are already here to attack?" The moment Yue Zhong heard it, his expression turned ugly, "What a timing. The Mongol King is truly not simple! Fuck!"
At this time, the Victorious Troops were still undergoing training, and the rifles in his hand numbered only about 3,000, but there were about 300,000 rounds. They lacked heavy firepower, there wasn't even a single rocket launcher. It was the time where Yue Zhong's Central Plains forces were still weak, and Hu-E Ran's chosen timing of attack was too perfect.

Chapter 624: Grey Wolf Rider and Blood Eagle Rider!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: - -
After taking in all the survivors of the different triads and factions of the Han Alliance, Yue Zhong had a sizeable number of survivors. What he lacked now was time, the time for these people to become decent fighters.
It was at this crucial period that Hu-E Ran had suddenly launched his attack. If Yue Zhong chose to run, then a few tens of thousands of Han people would land in his hands. Yue Zhong had not yet established his position in the Central Plains, and he had no choice but to engage Hu-E Ran's forces.
Atop the city wall around Qi Mu Town that was built not long ago, many commanders and their subordinates had caught sight of the approaching Mongol troops. Their faces were all unsightly.
"It's the Blood Eagle Rider!! That's the Blood Eagle Rider!! A-Mu Xidai!!" One commander, whose eyesight was decent, caught sight of the Blood Eagle banner and his face fell.
Upon hearing this name, the soldiers who had just joined Yue Zhong all had pale faces.
The Blood Eagle Rider A-Mu Xidai was a powerful expert on par with Dong-Er Molei of the Gold Wolf Riders. The Blood Eagle Riders under him were the strongest force under Hu-E Ran, used frequently in his battles to expand.
A-Mu Xidai had followed Hu-E Ran on his many conquests, and in each territory, as long as there was a male over 1.2m, he would kill them. The number of people that had been slaughtered at their hands were over 20,000. He was one of the most renowned generals in the Central Plains, and had defeated Dong-Er Molei in countless clashes before.
"Grey Wolf Rider Bo-Er Zi! He's here too!!"
"Tyrant Bear Bo Lei! He's here as well!!"
"And Grey Panther Wu Liang Shu!"
"Red Wolf Shi Yi Xin!"
"Venomous Dog Shu A-Tai!"
Looking at the various flags, the commanders all became extremely agitated. The Mongol King had over 40,000 troops, and this time, he had actually deployed half of them, especially the appearance of Blood Eagle Rider A-Mu Xidai and Grey Wolf Rider Bo-Er Zi. Other than these 2 leaders, the appearance of the other infamous generals sent shivers down the spine of the soldiers present.
Within Qi Mu Town, the Victorious Troops had not even trained for more than 10 days, and they were still lacking in skills and firepower. The Mongol King Hu-E Ran had decided to use the butcher knife to slaughter the chicken, and deployed 20,000 elites to assault Qi Mu Town. A dark shadow was cast over the entire town.
Yue Zhong looked out at the approaching troops and laughed, "The number of animals that had arrived is truly high! As long as we take them out, we will become the largest faction out here in the Central Plains! Everyone, rest assured, this time, since they dare to come, they will not get to go back. They will become the fertilizer for the grounds of Qi Mu Town!"
Li Guang gazed at the 20,000 Mongolian troops, and spoke confidently, "That's true! At that time, when the Golden Wolf Riders and Manchurian Empire had wanted to attack our Victorious Troops, we still managed to beat them away! These are just 20,000 pigs. It would just take a longer time to kill them!"
An elite troop needed self confidence. After becoming the commander of the Victorious Troops, Li Guang had also gained some pride. As long as Yue Zhong was around to maintain the morale, he was certain Yue Zhong could lead them to victory. There was almost a blind reverence from Yue Zhong's abilities already.
"Yes! Those are just 20,000 pigs! We can simply take them out!!"
"The Mongol King had barked up the wrong tree!! In front of us, they're just ants!"
Seeing the confidence of Li Guang and Yue Zhong, the officers who had been riled up because of the appearance of those Mongolian experts began to calm down, and started to point at the enemy. Their confidence came from Yue Zhong himself, as long as he was around, they would not lose.
Situ Jin eyed those commanders and was secretly in admiration of their bravery. Even he himself was perspiring when he heard the names of Blood Eagle Rider A-Mu Xidai and Grey Wolf Rider Bo-Er Zi. These were the top generals of Hu-E Ran, and they were basically seasoned murderers, many experts having fallen at their hands.
One rider came from the Mongol Troop and shouted out in an arrogant tone, "Those inside Qi Mu Town, listen up! General A-Mu Xidai is ordering you to put down your weapons and surrender unconditionally! Otherwise, we will breach the defences, and not spare any living or moving things!!"
Peng!!
The moment his words left his mouth, his head was blasted apart like a watermelon.
Yue Zhong placed the sniper rifle down, eyeing the corpse of the rider with a cold smirk. This was his response.
Killing the envoy of the other party, this was the most blatant challenge.
Usually in a war, the envoys were never mistreated. Yue Zhong had outright disregarded that rule, and killed the envoy, expressing his desire to fight.
At the Mongolian side, a burly man decked in a black cape, and an armor made out of a Type 3 Mutant Beast hide, riding a rare Type 2 Black Stallion, its head possessing a single horn, its body covered in scales, roared out in anger, "That Han dog dares kill my envoy! When I capture him, I will chop his head off to be my toilet seat!"
This burly man atop the Type 2 Black Stallion was precisely the Blood Eagle Rider, A-Mu Xidai, one of the peak-level Evolvers in the Central Plains.
A man in blood-red robes, a helmet as well as curved blades by his waist got down on a single knee and spoke to A-Mu Xidai, "General! I'm willing to lead the men to go and get Yue Zhong's head for you!!"
A-Mu Xidai had a face of appreciation, "Good!! Bo Lei!! You shall lead the troops to get Yue Zhong's head for me!"
Bo Lei was one of the strongest generals under A-Mu Xidai, and had obtained much merits on behalf of his general. His conquests were second only to A-Mu Xidai.
"Yes!! General!" Bo Lei replied respectfully, immediately deploying his troops.
A thousand riders all in blood-red robes suddenly broke out from the enemy troops, and headed for Qi Mu Town under the charge of Bo Lei.
"Fool!! Riders are not meant to be used like that!" Yue Zhong eyed them and a gloating look flashed in his eyes, "Bai Xiao Sheng! Wipe them out!"
"Yes! Leader!" Bai Xiao Sheng laughed coldly and ordered, "Fire at will!"
The elites that had followed Yue Zhong all the way began to fire their weapons.
Peng! Peng! Peng!!
Following the clear and loud gunshots, Bo Lei's riders began to fall from their horses.
Bo Lei's countenance turned unsightly and roared out, "Not good!! Retreat!! Retreat!! All retreat!!"
Although there were a hundred Evolvers firing, Bo Lei felt that they were more frightening than a 1,000 normal soldiers. Every second, more than dozens of his men were shot down. He was afraid that by the time they reached the entrance, their numbers would have been reduced to nothing.
The Blood Eagle Riders quickly turned around and galloped back, leaving 500 corpses, their figures pathetic.
Bo Lei, who had been confident and proud earlier, was now ashen-faced as he knelt in front of A-Mu Xidai, "General! Your subordinate is useless, and cost the lives of 500 brothers. Please punish me!"
A-Mu Xidai glared at Bo Lei coldly, "Get up! This is not your fault! I didn't expect for them to have so many shooters as well. I've seen it, they have at least a hundred marksmen. Your defeat was not unreasonable."
A-Mu Xidai had partially allowed the 1,000 riders to go first to test the strength of Yue Zhong's troops. With this, he was clearer on what Yue Zhong was capable of.
He then turned to another man who was decked in traditional Mongolian wear, his figure slightly rounder and said, "Bo-Er Zi, this Yue Zhong is truly not to be underestimated, let's have the artillery team rain fire upon them."
Bo-Er Zi nodded and replied, "Fine!"
He then turned to give the order to his cannon troops.
Hong! Hong! Hong!!
Round after round of heavy firepower rained down on Qi Mu Town, causing multiple explosions and the destruction of some buildings. The survivors in the town could only tremble in fear and pray for their lives.
Yue Zhong had already gotten men to evacuate the survivors, and many of them had been sent into various disaster shelters. However, there were still survivors and soldiers of Yue Zhong who were blasted to death by the artillery fire.
6 assault helicopters then suddenly flew out from the Mongol camp, and begun to fire at Qi Mu Town's fall as well.
Under the continuous firing, a hole was blasted into Qi Mu Town's wall.
The 6 assault helicopters then flew over the air space above Qi Mu Town.
As long as those 6 assault helicopters could enter Qi Mu Town, they would rain hell on the entire place.
"Do it!!" Yue Zhong watched them appear about 800m from Qi Mu Town, and he immediately ordered, while firing his own Electromagnetic Gun at one of the assault helicopters.
A single blade slash sliced through one, causing it to be heavily damaged. However, the slice missed the pilot and the fuel tank, weapons dock, and it was somewhat possible for the assault helicopter to still fly.
A number of shots strengthened by Enhance Bullets were fired as well, aiming for the helicopters.
Since controlling the Evolving Temple, Yue Zhong could easily support a number of Evolvers to purchase the Strengthen Bullet ability, and push it to their Level 3 stage. Although they might not be comparable to peak-level gun experts, they were still more than enough to destroy ordinary assault helicopters.

Chapter 625: Defeating the Grey Wolf Riders and Blood Eagle Riders!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: - -
Under the assault of the enhanced bullets, the 6 helicopters in the sky combusted into balls of flames and descended rapidly.
From afar, the faces of A-Mu Xidai and Bo-Er Zi were extremely ugly. Those assault helicopters were part of their trump cards, and it was enough to use 2 to subjugate an entire town. In this single battle, they had actually lost 6, this caused them to feel the pinch.
A-Mu Xidai gritted his teeth and spat, "There're a bunch of powerful Evolvers in there!! That damned Yue Zhong, how did he get so many experts?"
The Mongol King Hu-E Ran had about 400,000 people under him, and there were not more than 50 Enhancers with the Strengthened Bullet skill. Even more so, there were only about 15 of them that were above Level 30. A-Mu Xidai could not understand how Yue Zhong had gotten so many experts.
Bo-Er Zi spat out in fury as well, "Yue Zhong, that Han, is one of the most fearsome enemies I've ever met. We definitely cannot let him grow. Otherwise, our Mongol people will become his slaves!! He has to die today!!"
Yue Zhong had only been active around the Central Plains for a short while, however, the battle prowess he was exhibiting was incredible, and it was enough to cause the 3 major factions to sit up and take notice.
Bo-Er Zi was unwilling to let such a big enemy run rampant.
He immediately gave another order, "All troops, attack!! Grey Wolf Riders!! Charge forwards!!"
With 4 tanks, 15 IFVs, 30 gun-mounted vehicles bringing up the front of the convoy, over 10,000 Grey Wolf Riders surged forth towards Qi Mu Town.
As the Grey Wolf Riders began to attack, the cannon firing did not stop. The heavy fire continued to suppress Yue Zhong and his troops.
The Grey Wolf Riders weren't a motley bunch, having undergone several battles.
Yue Zhong held his Electromagnetic Gun and fired at an incoming tank.
A bright flash occurred, and the shot from the Electromagnetic Gun pierced through the tank, before another 3 consecutive shots killed the driver, halting its advance.
As the rest of the Evolvers were unable to stop the tanks, their objectives thus fell unto the gun-mounted vehicles. Following a bright flash, a number of the gun-mounted vehicles exploded in flames.
Li Guang roared out loudly, his bow firing at the Grey Wolf Riders, "Kill!! Kill these pigs! They're all a bunch of animals!! We can just slaughter them as such!!"
"Kill them all!! Our Victorious Troops are undefeated!!"
"Our Victorious Troops are the strongest!! Whatever bullshit Blood Eagle Riders and Grey Wolf Riders, they aren't our match!!"
"Kill them all!!"
The commanders of the Victorious Troops that had undergone the horrors of the Tian Mu Town battle began to join in the battle cry, firing at the Grey Wolf Riders.
Shouting like this was able to give vent to their fear, at the same time, raise the morale of the other soldiers. If they maintained their silence, some of the newer recruits might not be able to withstand the pressure.
"Kill those Han dogs!!"
"After we breach the walls, we will slaughter them for 3 whole days! Everybody charge!!"
"There are countless women in Qi Mu Town, after we breach through, we can play with them however we like!! Charge!! Kill those Han dogs!!"
The Grey Wolf Riders were truly elites of the Mongol King's troops. They continued on their charge towards Qi Mu Town, facing the attacks and trudged on. As they retaliated, many soldiers of the Victorious Troops fell as well.
"We can't go on like this!!"
Yue Zhong watched this and let out a shrill howl towards the skies.
In the sky, Greenie came swooping down, and made a grab towards the ground, pulling a IFV up into the sky with it. It then released it, swinging the unfortunate vehicle towards another, causing both to explode powerfully.
After destroying 2 IFVs, Greenie then soared into the sky, and with its powerful wings, it conjured up tornadoes with its innate ability, blowing up dust storms all around the forces of the Grey Wolf Riders.
As the wind blew, many riders could not open their eyes, whereas Yue Zhong's forces were not affected, they could continue to pick off the Grey Wolf Riders with ease.
With Greenie dominating the skies, sending gusts of winds at the Grey Wolf Riders, it affected their firepower greatly, diminishing their damage output.
A-Mu Xidai's face was ugly as he looked at Greenie, "Type 3 Mutant Beast! Damn it, he could actually control one!"
The threat of a Type 3 Mutant Beast was pretty clear to all the factions. However, humans likewise possessed numerous experts and had intelligence. The Mongol King Hu-E Ran had organized a hunt of a Type 3 Mutant Beast before, and under the joint attacks of the experts, they had managed to hunt one. That was why A-Mu Xidai knew how terrifying a Type 3 Mutant Beast could be.
His own Type 2 Black Stallion was tamed under a chance encounter. He did not know how to let it evolve into its Type 3 Stage, and he had no confidence he could control it even.
"Monster! How are they able to receive the help of such a monster?!"
"It's too scary!! I've only heard of such beasts in the myths, how could one appear here?"
The Grey Wolf Riders hid behind covers in the surroundings, and watched Greenie flapping its wings of over 80m, their eyes filled with fear. Such a beast had surpassed their knowledge and imagination, and what was worse, this beast was helping the enemy. Their morale plunged.
Bo-Er Zi looked at Greenie in the sky and roared out furiously, "Fuck!!! Kill that beast!!"
A thousand warriors of the Grey Wolf Riders began to fire into the sky, blanketing the area Greenie was in.
Greenie's speed was naturally fast, having reached the sound barrier, and none of them could even graze it. The main threat about aerial Mutant Beasts were because they were hard to hit. Their only weakness was their low defences, unable to compare to the land-based Mutant Beasts.
Greenie continued to soar around the skies, blowing up huge tornadoes, landing from time to time to grab a few of the Grey Wolf Riders.
The Mongolian warriors were basically helpless against Greenie, and could only fire into the sky, though their efforts were in vain.
Yue Zhong was relying on Greenie to distract the Grey Wolf Riders, while he raised the Electromagnetic gun to blast the tanks and armored vehicles into oblivion.
Greenie continued to harass the 9,000-strong Grey Wolf Riders for half an hour before flapping its wings and disappearing into the distance.
The tornadoes also came to a halt. After all, continually releasing its innate ability would take a toll on Greenie's Stamina and power, it could not last forever.
However, the moment the dust storms disappeared, the armored division that was supposed to spearhead the assault had been completely destroyed. The Grey Wolf Riders could only rely on themselves to charge in.
Having lost the protection of the armored vehicles, the Grey Wolf Riders became ashened, their advance fraught with more dangers. Every step required them to pay a huge price.
From time to time, Greenie would suddenly appear and grab a warrior and soar into the sky, before releasing the warrior, causing the morale to plunge even further.
However, the Grey Wolf Warriors were truly the elite force of the Central Plains, even under such duress, they continued on resolutely towards Qi Mu Town.
The Red Wolf Shi Yi Xin roared out loudly, "Everybody charge!! Victory is right in sight!! Charge!!!"
At this time, loud motor sounds roared out from the distance, as 8 Thunder Fighters shot towards them from the distance.
The 8 Thunder Fighters swiftly flew over the Grey Wolf Riders and dropped cluster bombs into their midst.
Hong!! Hong!! Hong!
Following loud explosions, the Grey Wolf Riders were instantly plunged into a scene right out of hell.
AFter one round of cluster bombs, the 8 Thunder Fighters shot towards the heavy cannons team of the Grey Wolf Riders. After all, those artillery weapons were a bigger threat compared to ordinary soldiers.
The 8 Thunder Fighters quickly locked onto the artillery team of the Grey Wolf Riders, and fired a massive amount of rockets at them, causing the entire land to be obliterated.
"Retreat!! Everybody!! Retreat!!" Seeing this, Bo-Er Zi's face was pale as a sheet, and he hurried to scream!!
A-Mu Xidai saw the terrors of the 8 Thunder Fighters as well and he ordered the same, "Retreat!! Everybody retreat!!"
The Mongol King's forces were helpless against aerial enemies. If A-Mu Xidai insisted on battling on, their forces would definitely be annihilated.
Hearing the orders, the Grey Wolf Riders and Blood Eagle Riders quickly retreated pathetically.
Having destroyed the artillery camp, the 8 Thunder Fighters continued to give chase, killing the warriors of the Mongolian forces. Yue Zhong also made use of the chance to lead the elites of the Victorious Troops to pursue them, killing over a thousand warriors of the Grey Wolf Riders and Blood Eagle Riders, capturing 200 of them, resulting in a heavy defeat for the Mongolian troops.

Chapter 626: Refining the Blood Lotus!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: - -
Zhao Tian Gang came out from one of the thunder Fighters, hurrying to Yue Zhong as he saluted, "Zhao Tian Gang greets Leader!!"
Yue Zhong patted Zhao Tian Gang's shoulders and laughed, "Good timing! This time, if it wasn't for you guys, we would have been in danger."
If Zhao Tian Gang had not brought the 8 Thunder Fighters to provide reinforcements, Yue Zhong would definitely be in for a tough battle. He might have to sacrifice numerous soldiers to protect Qi Mu Town.
Another charismatic commander came forward with 100 elites as they all saluted to him, "Lie Ming Yi greets Leader!"
Lie Ming Yi was the powerful expert that Yue Zhong had recruited from Port Fang Cheng. He had already risen to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Amongst Yue Zhong's forces, rising in rank relied on merits and contributions.
Guang Xi and Hunan were expanding quickly. Within a short span of time, there's no means of moving their troops.
Lie Ming Yi was extremely clear that Yue Zhong intended to expand into the Central Plains. That was why he had brought his troops to support Yue Zhong. Each of his soldiers were powerful Enhancers of above Level 30.
Yue Zhong looked at Lie Ming Yi and his troops, smiling slightly, "Very good! Your timing was impeccable! I'm currently lacking manpower, your arrival is just too timely!"
With this 100 Evolvers, Yue Zhong had a force of over 300 Evolvers and it was a force to be reckon with. If they were to clash against the Blood Eagle Riders, Yue Zhong would not be worried.
Zhao Tian Gang chuckled and turned his body slightly, "Leader, look who's here! Hehe!"
From behind, 2 beauties stepped out. One older and the other one, younger. The older lady possesses a head full of lush black hair, her features exquisite and perfect, with a hint of valiant aura about her. The younger one was likewise pretty, with intelligent eyes and her skin as fair as snow. She was truly a sight to behold.
"Qing Wu, you've recovered!!!" Yue Zhong saw them and a jolt of happiness hit him, and he could not help but walk over.
When Ji Qing Wu was gravely injured by the Type 4 Flame Bird previously, Yue Zhong had placed her inside the Biological Armor to be treated. When he headed back to Long Hai City, he had left her in Yao Yao's care under the heavy protection of the camp's defences.
Ji Qing Wu looked at Yue Zhong with a complicated look as she replied mildly, "En! I'm alright now! Thank you!"
Ji Qing Wu knew Yue Zhong had been forced to Japan because of her and had given her the precious Level 7 Biological Armor. She was full of gratitude. However, her character was cold. So even though she was touched, her expression was still cold.
Yao Yao hugged one of Ji Qing Wu's hands and stared at Yue Zhong hatefully. She had treated Ji Qing Wu as her most special person, yet Ji Qing Wu had specially travelled from Hunan to meet Yue Zhong. This caused her to be slightly jealous.
Li Guang and the rest of the subordinates of the Central Plains watched the 8 Thunder Fighters in excitement. The moment these metal behemoths appeared, it had allowed Yue Zhong to defeat the Blood Eagle Riders and Grey Wolf Riders. They were extremely curious about these machines as it was obvious that these were not made in China.
Defeating the Grey Wolf Riders and the Blood Eagle Riders was a huge matter. Yue Zhong had thus thrown a celebratory feast, inviting all the officials to participate.
Yue Zhong had then introduced his subordinates from Hunan to Li Guang and Situ Jin, before pointing to Ji Qing Wu, "This is Ji Qing Wu! If I'm not around, she can represent me. If I'm not around and there are things you guys need clearance, you can run it by her. In this short period, I will be heading to Ulan Mountain Range. She will take over my duties here."
Hearing Yue Zhong's orders, the subordinates from Hunan had no issues. They knew fully well that Ji Qing Wu had been part of the first few members of Yue Zhong's conquests and is a reliable partner of his. Many of them were in fact under her once and they knew her strength. Hence, there were no opposition to this order.
However, the people from the Central Plains had strange glints in their eyes. If it was Yue Zhong himself, they were definitely ok with him. However, if it were someone else, furthermore, it happened to be a woman, they were unable to accept it.
Li Guang, who had one too many drinks, could not help but blurt out, "Leader! Who is she?"
The moment he said, he regretted it a little.
Li Guang's words caused everyone's gaze to fall on Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong eyed Ji Qing Wu and spoke bluntly, "She's my woman and my future wife!"
When Ji Qing Wu heard that, her face flushed slightly from the joy and embarrassment and did not refute him.
Hearing his words, the rest of the general from Central Plains did not have any more complaints.
Yue Zhong's might was truly fearsome. Not only did he arrange for a large number of experts to be sent from Hunan, he also brought ammunition. Many of the Central Plains generals were full of respect and awe of him. Since Yue Zhong had made his decision, they could only follow his orders.
After the feast was over, Yue Zhong went back into his room and pulled out a Blood Lotus, hesitating for a while, 'This time, the expedition might be fraught with dangers. I'd better take one first.'
Yue Zhong had managed to steal the 4 Blood Lotus seeds from the lair of the Type 4 White-Scaled Tiger. He handed one to Ou Ming to run some research and one with the Long Hai City Research Center, while he himself was in possession of 2.
As to its effects, Yue Zhong was uncertain and dared not take it recklessly. Now that he had established so much, it would be a joke if he died from consuming something wrong.
In this apocalyptic world, there were many strange treasures that could empower people. At the same time, there were equally potent poisonous plants. Everyday, there would be people dying from mistaking poisonous flora as food. Yue Zhong did not want to be one of them.
The Blood Lotus was something rare and it didn't seem to be plentiful. After a long time of research, all Ou Ming had been able to discern was that it was definitely not harmful to humans. It was just that the effects of it was uncertain.
Yue Zhong had been safe in Long Hai City then and thus there was no rush to enhance himself so he had kept it with him all this while.
After a short moment of hesitation, he popped it into his mouth.
The moment the Blood Lotus entered his abdomen, it transformed to a warm surge of energy and coursed throughout his body. It was violent, as though it wanted to tear apart his body.
Yue Zhong felt his chest aching badly and spat out a mouthful of blood. He thrashed about in his bed and smashed out with his fist as a powerful dark Dou Qi was sent out, destroying the door.
"Assassin?"
"Assassin?"
20 experts immediately charged out and surrounded the place. They only saw White Bones standing quietly near the door while Ji Qing Wu was hugging Yue Zhong who would not stop vomiting blood.
Ji Qing Wu ordered with a stricken expression, "Prepare yourselves! Sound the alarm! Everyone is to be on alert! Get Bai Xiao Sheng to send some men to guard the area!"
"Yes!"
Upon her orders, Bai Xiao Sheng immediately led 100 peak Evolvers and stationed them at various places, heightening security.
Lie Ming Yi and Li Guang led their own troops and started patrolling. The entire Qi Mu Town was plunged into a nervous atmosphere.
The terrifying Blood Lotus was truly overbearing, causing blood to seep out his skin. He could not help but struggle in the pain. His entire body is heating up and even his perspiration was dyed with blood.
Ji Qing Wu watched Yue Zhong who was in obvious agony, her heart anxious. She was intelligent though and immediately thought of the Biological Armor, "The Biological Armor, it can save him!!"
She placed him down carefully and hurried to her own room, preparing to bring the Biological Armor over.
"No need! I can withstand it!" Just as she reached her room, she discovered that Yue Zhong had propped himself up and managed to holler hoarsely.
After trying his best for that single sentence, he closed his eyes and quickly channeled his Dark Dou Qi to refine the powerful effects of the Blood Lotus.
The medicinal effects of the Blood Lotus started to be refined by the dark Dou Qi, nourishing it and enhancing it.
Yue Zhong finally understood the usage of the Blood Lotus. It wasn't meant to strengthen a biological entity but rather, its innate abilities. It might be the dark Dou Qi or some other inner strength, even some miraculous innate talents.
If it was given to someone who didn't practise Dou Qi or an ordinary person lacking any innate abilities, their body would explode immediately if it's not strong enough or bleed to death even with a high endurance.
Ji Qing Wu continued to hug Yue Zhong tenderly even as his pores ooze out dirt and blood, hoping to ease his pain.
After two hours, Yue Zhong slowly opened his eyes as a bright light flashed. An indication of yet another increase in his strength.
"Congratulations. Your dark Dou Qi has gained 2 enhancement!"
Within his mind, the notification rang out.
When Yue Zhong heard it, a smile broke out on his face, "Great! Now I can save on 4 points of skills."
The dark Dou Qi was a powerful ability. Each time he channeled it, his entire body would be strengthened by many folds in a short time. The amount his body could be strengthened by was dependent on the strength of the dark Dou Qi. The more powerful his body and the Dou Qi, the more exponential the increase in strength.
With this dark Dou Qi skill, Yue Zhong's strength had increased another level and he had another means of preserving his life.
When Yue Zhong opened his eyes, he immediately noticed Ji Qing Wu whose countenance was full of worry. He was immediately filled with warmth and tenderness. Although he wasn't some saint, had killed many people and done many bad things, the fact that he still had someone who cared for him, caused him to feel contented.
Ji Qing Wu caught sight of Yue Zhong's passionate stare. Her face flushed, intending to push him away, but at the same time, she was afraid of aggravating his injuries.
Yue Zhong looked at this incredibly beautiful woman in front of him and felt his heartbeat quicken. Initially, back at the university, Chen Yao and Ji Qing Wu were the top beauties of the school and were the dream girls of every boy. Yue Zhong had seen Ji Qing Wu a few times but he knew that they were of different worlds and that there was no chance of them ever getting together. However, he was now actually propped up on those tender legs of hers and he was incredibly excited at the twist of fate.
Yue Zhong struggled out from her embrace and reached to embrace her back.
Ji Qing Wu fell into his embrace with a whiff of her fragrance. She could detect his eagerness and her face flushed slightly, "No! Yue Zhong, you're still not alright. I'm not ready as well. Once your injuries are ok and you're back from the Ulan Mountain Range, I'll give myself to you then."
"Deal! You cannot go back on your word!" When he heard it, his heart leapt with joy and he hurriedly planted a kiss on that smooth face of hers before charging into the bathroom to clean himself.
By the time he had washed himself clean and ran out, the beauty was long gone. Yue Zhong stood there, forlorn.
Early the next day, Yue Zhong summoned Lie Ming Yi, "Do you want to be promoted?"
"I'm willing to die for Leader!" Lie Ming Yi was incredibly excited when he heard that and he immediately saluted him and announced.
Lie Ming Yi was an ambitious man who sought fame and fortune. He wanted to climb up and gain a post that was worthy of respect and admiration. Of course, he was enticed by a position that overshadowed most of the other subordinates of Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong fixed his gaze at him, "You know our rules! To promote, you'll need to gain more merits! I'll entrust you with some responsibilities If you can complete it, you'll be the main commander of the Central Plains 1st Cavalry Brigade! If you think the mission is too tough, you're free to turn it down. I hope that you can start organizing a guerilla troop, focused on destroying the forces of Manchuria, Turks and Mongolia! I want you to strike hard and fast, chipping away at their supplies as much as possible. Whatever means you have to utilize, you're free to do so. I can give you 50 Evolvers and the necessary equipment and resources. Anything more than that, you'll have to provide them yourself. If you can cause them so much trouble that it will be impossible for them to recover, I'll immediately make you the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade! You'll be in command of over 300 people! Next time, when it's time to consider someone for the Regiment Commander, I'll definitely keep you in mind!"
When Lie Ming Yi heard this, a strong sense of excitement and unbridled hot-bloodedness arose, "Your subordinate promises to finish this!"
Being ambitious required taking risks. Lie Ming Yi knew the dangers involved. However, he was fairly determined to complete it. After all, he had risked so much just to become a high ranking officer. He wanted to be part of Yue Zhong's core team as well and be a part of the founding team of a future country.

Chapter 627: Mutant Army Ant Colony!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Lie Ming Yi was definitely an expert with a charm. He had brought his own 50 Evolvers as well as recruited over a hundred Hans who had recovered from their mistreatment and were vengeful against the 3 great factions. After that, he prepared enough equipment and led the men to set off.
Out here in the Central Plains, the usage of the Black Stallions was more widespread than cars. They didn't need fuel and could eat anything. They would even eat corpses. On the other side, Yue Zhong led Bai Xiao Sheng and 50 Evolvers towards the Ulan Mountain Range.
Ji Qing Wu was an extremely capable woman with intelligence. After Yue Zhong left, she intensified the training of the Victorious Troops and according to Yue Zhong's instructions, she quickly organized the Central Plains 1st Battalion made up of the old warriors.
Other than the reorganization of the army, Ji Qing Wu had managed to pull out 10,000 men to form a secondary troop and made them go through training. In the event that there was a situation, they could directly be drafted into the troops.
The secondary troops were mostly made up of civilian militia. In Hunan and Guang Xi, Yue Zhong had 20,000 elite troops but the secondary troops numbered over 100,000.
In this apocalyptic world, not only did the humans need to fend off against the Mutant Beasts and zombies. They needed to protect against other humans as well. Military might could not be compromised. The matter of the Blood Eagle Riders and Grey Wolf Riders being defeated by Yue Zhong soon spread all over the Central Plains.
Every single faction in the Central Plains began to take notice of the Great Han Alliance situated in Qi Mu Town and everyone recognized it as the 4th largest faction.
Every day, there would be wandering lone warriors seeking to join the Han Alliance. There were even a few smaller factions with dozens of people who quickly joined them, begging for protection.
Many still felt that it might not necessarily be better but since the other 3 factions were well known to be horrendous, the moment those factions attack, other than the women and kids, all the males would be killed. If not, they would be branded as slaves and treated as such.
Other than the Hans, the other lesser races also swarmed over to join the Han Alliance established by Yue Zhong.
The main difference Yue Zhong's Han Alliance had with the Turks, the Mongolian Empire and the Manchurian Empire was the equal treatment of all races. Many of the sub-races and clans of the Central Plains had married and merged bloodlines and family lines so everyone was somehow already related to one another. It was hard to draw a clear distinction. Hence, many chose to rely on the Han Alliance.
Deep in the Central Plains, within a mansion, the Manchuria Emperor, Xuan Zhen, glared at his subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, "What? Yue Zhong had managed to defeat the Blood Eagle Riders and Grey Wolf Riders?! Is your news reliable?!"
The slave quickly kowtowed profusely, "I swear upon my life, my Liege!! This news is definitely correct. Your slave had managed to find this out after much efforts!"
"Damn bastard!!" Xuan Zhen gritted his teeth and smashed down on a table beside him, causing the table to shatter into dust.
One particular slave came up and said, "Your Highness! An envoy from the Mongolian Empire had arrived and requested an audience!"
Xuan Zhen's face regained his 'kingly' aura and declared coldly, "So he's finally here? Let him in!"
Out in the Central Plains, there was a vehicle convoy on the move, consisting of a large fuel truck, 2 gun-mounted vehicles and 10 Hummers. This was Yue Zhong's expeditionary fleet.
Situ Jin pointed to a particular direction, "It would be Ulan Town right up ahead! After we cross it, we'll reach Ulan Mountain Range!"
Yue Zhong sat in one of the Hummers and looked out the glass window, only to see multiple mountains in the distance formed and closely linked to one another, thus, its name.
The Ulan Mountain Range was one of the greatest protected natural locations of China. There were plenty of biological life forms within. It was a treasure trove of research for biologists and yet now, it had transformed to a hell for humans. The mutant plants within were the scariest.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Yue Zhong and the rest headed in and immediately heard dense gunshots. The intense gunshots rang out through the Central Plains, travelling far.
"Enemies!" Yue Zhong's face turned and he quickly leaped out his Hummer.
Yin Shuang, who was in Yue Zhong's arms, also stuck with him as he dashed out.
With Yue Zhong's current strength, he could easily burst out with an acceleration faster than a Hummer. In fact, sitting in the Hummer was more dangerous for him.
At the same time, other than the 2 gun-mounted vehicles, soldiers quickly jumped out from all the Hummers while their eyes were fixed in front.
Without Yue Zhong giving the order, Bai Xiao Sheng had already led 5 soldiers with him as they charged towards the direction of the sound.
Not long after, a soldier came up to Yue Zhong and said, "Leader! It's the soldiers from the Kingdom of God fighting against an unknown faction."
"I got it! I'll go take a look, you all wait here for further orders!"
With that, Yue Zhong brought Yin Shuang and quickly made his way forward.
His speed enabled him to quickly make his way up a hill, where Bai Xiao Sheng and the other 4 soldiers laid prone on the ground.
Yue Zhong also crawled and looked below, only to discover 2,000 Judges currently launching an attack on Ulan Town.
In the skies, 12 Tiger Assault Helicopters fired rockets without stop, blasting the structures of Ulan Town.
On the ground, a number of Howitzers and rocket launchers began to blast the town.
The entire Ulan Town was covered in a sea of flames and within the flames, there were some armed militants seen struggling. They were putting up a brave fight but under the intense assault of the Kingdom of God, they had no choice but to retreat slowly. When Yue Zhong saw this, they were already beginning to collapse, with a majority of their numbers lost and 2,000 Judges still making their way in.
Yue Zhong looked down and sighed, "We were too late!"
If they had been here a day earlier, they might have been able to cooperate with the militants in Ulan Town to fight against the Kingdom of God.
However, now, the Kingdom of God had already obtained victory and if Yue Zhong were to charge in right now, it was likely that both sides would suffer greatly.
It was a force made up of Judges after all. Each of them having undergone a job change and had combat strength vastly superior to an ordinary soldier. Furthermore, they were well-equipped with countless threatening and fearsome weapons and explosives. Even someone as strong as Yue Zhong might die if not careful.
Right at this time, something strange happened. A huge sea of something brown began to charge at Ulan Town from the distance.
"Level 8 Strange Beast: Mutant Army Ant! They devour everything in their path!"
Yue Zhong fixed his gaze on them, noting that each of them were only about the size of a human's fist, and the swarm was frighteningly large. There was a strange sense of his hair standing, as he could tell that with the size of the swarm, it was like there were over a billion ants within. Such a swarm was even more terrifying than a horde of zombies
The 12 helicopters in the skies began firing down at the Mutant Ants, blasting them with explosives and fire, consuming the Mutant Ants.
Under that powerful assault, most of the Mutant Ants turned into ashes. However, all of a sudden, a particular Mutant Army Ant flew out of its swarm with wings! It flapped its wings before soaring towards one of the assault helicopters. These flying Army Ants began to fire corrosive acid to burn through the covers of the tanks, before using their sharp jaw to tear the armor open.
Not long later, the helicopters began to lose their outer hulls, as the Mutant Army Ants tore into the metal and ripped the pilots into shreds.
Following the miserable screams, the helicopters that lost their pilots began to wobble and crashed towards the ground in powerful explosions.
If the 12 helicopters had been utilized properly, they could easily turn the tides of any battle. However, such powerful equipment were actually torn like paper by the small Mutant Army Ants, causing Yue Zhong to feel a chill in his heart.
Yue Zhong looked at the 12 helicopters being destroyed and hurried gave an order, "Quick, retreat! Retreat!!! Bai Xiao Sheng!!! Lead the men away!!! Towards the North!!! Wait for further orders!"
Bai Xiao Sheng waved his hands and led the elites away from the place hastily. Yue Zhong's body had evolved to a terrifying degree. It would be hard for him to protect his soldiers but if he was alone, he had confidence that he could break away if things get rough.
The Judges of the Kingdom of God within the Ulan Town had quickly received the news of the Mutant Army Ants colony and they hurried to escape from the town as well.
However, what caused them to be despondent was that all the tanks, IFVs and motorcycles had already long left the place, abandoning their own comrades.
The speed of the Mutant Army Ants was fast. Although their defence was weak and could be slapped to death by an ordinary person, their speed was fast, reaching 80km/hour and thus, the armored troops didn't dare stay behind to wait for their friends.

Chapter 628: Rescue!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Damn it! Those white bastards! They should all fucking die!"
"Fuck! Damn white apes! This senior had already given my life to them and they dared to betray us?! Fuck!!! If there's a next life, this senior will fucking kill them all!!!"
The Judges that had been abandoned were the black and asian people.
In this apocalypse, whoever could provide the milk would be one's mother. As long as one could live, there were many who chose to rely on their old enemies. Selling themselves out for foreigners wasn't a big issue. Not everyone was adamant on nationalism anyway.
In the Central Plains, the Kingdom of God had managed to form a few units made up of Chinese. Now that the whole unit was in danger, the Europeans had chosen to abandon their comrades that weren't of the same race as them.
One of them who obviously had a commanding aura about him hollered out, "Retreat! Back into Ulan Town! We will defend ourselves there! Only then there might be hope!"
Under his lead, the 2,000-strong unit quickly went back into the town.
The colony of Mutant Army Ants seemed to have smelled the scent of humans and began to swarm towards Ulan Town.
The Judges started firing wildly as they found positions.
Amidst the dense firing, many of the Mutant Army Ants were quickly killed but their speed was simply too fast. After paying the price of numbers, they managed to pounce onto a particular Judge and their sharp mandibles quickly tore into him.
"ARGH!!! IT HURTS!!! IT HURTS!!!" The soldier screamed out as a huge chunk of flesh were torn by the Mutant Army Ants. With a slap, he managed to flatten one.
"AH!!! AH!!!" However, when the ant was smashed, the innards splashed out like acid, corroding his right hand, causing him even more agony.
"NO!!! NO!!!" Right after that, a dozen other ants had pounced on him and were already tearing into him, as he screamed out and struggled futilely.
More ants swarmed his body, covering every inch as they bit him and the unfortunate soldier soon stopped moving.
By the time the Mutant Army Ants moved on, there was only a bunch of bones left, without a single shred of flesh.
Under the pressurizing march of the Mutant Army Ants, many of the elites of the Kingdom of God were quickly reduced to bones, their screams ringing out throughout Ulan Town.
"Should I save them?" Yue Zhong eyed the abandoned elites of the Kingdom of God, feeling conflicted. He then charged over towards the colony.
Seeing Yue Zhong approach them, a number of the Mutant Army Ants began to crawl towards him. However, Yue Zhong had already swapped out his Hurricane Necklace and activated the ability, sending gusts of tornadoes out in all directions, blowing the ants away.
The number of ants might be crazy, but their strength wasn't too high. Thus, it was easy for them to be blown away.
By now, the gunshots in Ulan Town was practically deafening. There was no stop to them and all the Judges within were putting their lives on the line. They didn't care about the expenditure of the bullets and their guns continued to fire without stop. Hand grenades were utilized freely, blasting patches of the ants to oblivion.
These soldiers were truly the elites of the Kingdom of God, if an ordinary person were to fight this seemingly unending swarm of ants, they might have lost all hope. However, these Judges were still fighting on with a resolute will and it was truly something to admire.
Yue Zhong blew a large number of ants away and this scene attracted the attention of the Judges in Ulan Town.
Yue Zhong barked out loud, "I'm Yue Zhong! I know you guys are the Judges from the Kingdom of God. I have an enmity with the Kingdom of God and thought they have abandoned you, I'm here to rescue you! Let me ask you this, if I were to save you guys, are you all willing to work for me?!"
Yue Zhong did not want to expend his strength for no reason so he opened with this negotiation.
"I'm willing! As long as you save this senior, this senior will definitely give my life to you!"
"Great! Yue Zhong, just based on your actions of charging here to save us, as long as you can cover this ass of mine, this senior will serve you for life!"
A number of the Judges began to shout back. After all, they had sold themselves to the Kingdom of God purely to lead better lives. There was no true loyalty in that sense. Thus, they had no qualms switching sides to serve Yue Zhong.
This was the problem with a lack of unity or bond. Such a situation would not have happened in the Mongolian Empire, Manchurian Empire or even the Turkic Empire. They were all of one race and one mind. The nationalistic view of their respective groups serve to bond the people together. Even if they were to be defeated, they wouldn't serve Yue Zhong so easily.
Yue Zhong had captured many of the Mongolian elites, but almost none were willing to serve him. This was part of the advantages of being in a nationalistic group.
The middle-aged man who had first led the troops shouted loudly, "I am Chen Hong Yi, Deputy Commander of the Kingdom of God's Mongolian Branch 2nd Battalion. Yue Zhong, as long as you save all of us, the entire unit here will serve you!"
"Good!" Yue Zhong waved his hands and sent out his Devil Flame, as a flaming tornado took form in his hands. He then slapped out at the hands and the powerful fire swept towards the colony and started to consume them.
To these Mutant Army Ants, the fire was their strongest bane. With a single sweep of Yue Zhong's Devil Flame tornado, huge patches of the colony started to burn. The crackling of the ants in the fire resounded throughout. Just this attack alone easily caused over 3,000 of the Mutant Ants to be cooked.
After Yue Zhong had enhanced his Devil Flame to its Second Order stage, it was truly much more fearsome. He could conjure up a Devil Flame tornado without expending much Spirit. Because of this trump card, he dared to step forward to save the elites of the Kingdom of God.
"Awesome!"
"We're saved!"
Witnessing this, the Judges quickly broke out in cheers. There were only 4 of them who had flame-based skills and even then, there was no way to compare against Yue Zhong. They knew that even if the Mutant Ants feared fire, they could not rely on their own flame attacks to defeat the ants.
"Gather towards me! All of you!" Yue Zhong looked everywhere and saw a patch of grass that had been cleared and quickly ordered.
Chen Hong Yi roared out loud, as he swiftly made his way towards Yue Zhong, "Everyone, blitz towards Leader Yue Zhong's position!!! Everyone, on me!!!"
Gunshots, explosions and all sorts of abilities were launched as the remaining 1,800 or so swiftly broke through and charged towards the field.
Yue Zhong's hands lit up as a long Devil Flame defensive barrier was conjured around the field.
The Mutant Army Ants swarmed over and surrounded the place. After waiting a while, they lost their patience and launched an assault.
The moment they went through the fire, their bodies started to burn as crackling sounds rang out, their bodies turning into ash.
The remaining soldiers continued to watch from their positions in fear, uncertain if they could hold out.
Should the Mutant Army Ants breach the flames, they would become food for them.
Although the Devil Flames did not seem to burn high, they burned strong, incinerating the tens of thousands of ants, without any sign of extinguishing.
As the ants continued to launch themselves into the fire, the flames continued to consume them. After burning for 20 minutes, half the colony had been wiped out and the remaining ants turned around, swarming towards another location.
Seeing this, the soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief. Many slumped to the ground, gasping for breath. Their backs were drenched in their cold sweat.
The retreat of the Army Ants left behind a huge amount of Survivor Coins, 20 White Boxes and a few blue crystals.
Yue Zhong, whose countenance was slightly pale as well, went to collect all the drops and walked towards the field.
Yue Zhong looked at them and declared solemnly, "I have already made good on my word! Are you guys willing to fight for me?"
One bearded and burly man laughed savagely, "Hahaha! Yue Zhong, you're really stupid! You actually believed what we said? What a fool! I know you! You're the highly sought after enemy of the Kingdom of God! As long as we kill you, we will be received into the European quarters and lead a good life! You have just used up so much of your strength, as long as we all attack you, we can become revered! Everyone! Attack! We'll live like kings and enjoy ourselves!"

The burly man was pretty insidious. Before he finished speaking, he had already retreated. He was extremely clear about Yue Zhong's strength and he wanted to incite the rest of the judges in killing Yue Zhong, whereas he didn't want to engage him personally. After all, no matter how strong Yue Zhong was, against 1,800- experts, it was impossible for him to win.
"If you want to enjoy riches, you must be alive to enjoy!" Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps and immediately made to grab the neck of that burly man, before pulling him out from the crowd.
His right hand then slashed down at the arm of the burly man, covered with Dark Dou Qi and combined with his 12-time Strength, he dismembered the burly man's arm.
"Ah!!! My hand!!!" The burly man screamed out in agony.
Yue Zhong then flung the offender forcefully to the ground like a broken toy, smashing him. The impact caused the insides of the warrior to jolt violently and he began retching blood while twitching on the ground.
Seeing how vicious and decisive Yue Zhong was, the rest of the Judges sucked in cold air and retreated involuntarily.
Yue Zhong swept his gaze across the Judges, "Who else still want to try and take my head?"
One Judge came out and spoke loudly, "I'm willing to work for you! However, you must ensure that I'm fed! As long as I have food, I'm willing to serve you! Those assholes from the Kingdom of God do not treat us like people! If it wasn't for the fact that I needed to eat, this senior would have long fallen out with them."
In this apocalypse, many people were willing to go sacrifice or bend their principles just for a meal. Women were willing to sell their bodies for a single bun, while men were willing to bow and serve others just to eat.
The Judges present were mostly Chinese and many had been recruited by the Kingdom of God purely for the sake of survival. Their equipment were very ordinary ones, or those which had been disposed by the Kingdom of God. Most of the heavier and more powerful weapons were in the hands of the Europeans and thus, these Judges were usually treated as cannon fodder.
Under such circumstances, it was natural that these Judges were unhappy. However, because of their fear of the Kingdom of God, they didn't dare to rebel and could only continue to serve obediently.
Yue Zhong looked at the elite soldier who had pledged his services first and said appreciatively, "Good! What's your name?"
The Judge replied, "I'm Yu Wen Ying!"
Yue Zhong chuckled, "Alright, from now on, you're a Battalion Commander of Major rank!"
He had always treated the first one to submit to him well, this would thus ensure the ones behind to be more motivated to do the same.
Yu Wen Ying immediately got down on one knee in joy, "Many thanks Leader! Yu Wen Ying is willing to die for Leader!"
"Zhang Wen is willing to serve Leader!!!"
"Liu He is willing to serve Leader!!!"
With a way out, many of the Judges began to submit to Yue Zhong. Since the Kingdom of God had abandoned them, they had nowhere else to go and could only choose to go with Yue Zhong.
Over 1,300 of them chose to follow Yue Zhong, whereas the remaining 500 stood by in 5 groups and watched coldly.
One burly man with a fierce face, eagle-like eyes and a hooked nose was silent for quite a while before saying, "Brother Yue Zhong! This time, I, Niu Da Li, am grateful to you for saving us I'll be sure to repay this in the future. I'll say my goodbyes for now! Brothers, let's go!"
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed dangerously, "Wait! Niu Da Li, what did you promise earlier? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
Niu Da Li turned to stare at Yue Zhong, his own eyes flashing coldly, "Yue Zhong! We've gathered here amicably, let's leave here amicably! Don't force my hand! I know you're strong. However, I have over a hundred brothers who're willing to go through hell with me!"
Niu Da Li had over a hundred of elites of the Kingdom of God and he wanted to make use of this chance to start his own faction.
After he finished speaking, the hundred Judges stepped forward with their guns aimed at Yue Zhong and the atmosphere turned extremely heavy.
Of those who had chosen to submit to Yue Zhong, many hesitated. Only Yu Wen Ying and a dozen others raised their guns and pointed back at Niu Da Li.
Yu Wen Ying was of a mind to rely on Yue Zhong, whereas the rest were still unprepared for such a critical situation.
Yue Zhong then pointed to Niu Da Li and spoke coldly, "Since this is the case, you can take your 100 brothers with you to hell! Yin Shuang, wipe them out!"
"Yes! Father!"
Following a bright, clear laughter, Yin Shuang shot towards Niu Da Li like a tornado as a small fist blasted towards his head.
Niu Da Li was also a Level 30 Evolver and his danger perception was pretty high. The moment Yin Shuang moved, he was overwhelmed with hair-raising sense of danger and his hands had just moved slightly. However, Yin Shuang's snow-white fist had already arrived at his head, blasting it apart.
Killing Niu Da Li with a single attack, Yin Shuang continued to fly about, her fists being weapons of mass destruction. They continued to rain blows on Niu Da Li's brothers, causing many of their heads to explode in a shower of blood and brain.
"No!" After another 10 soldiers had their heads exploded, the rest of Niu Da Li's men finally responded and they started to fire wildly in the skies to no avail.
Yin Shuang's speed had already exceeded the sound barrier and the Judges having gathered together looked just like a bunch of fat sheep. In just 20 seconds, Niu Da Li's 100 brothers were all wiped out. Not a single one of them could withstand a blow from her.
After she had easily disposed of those soldiers, Yin Shuang ran back to Yue Zhong with a wide and innocent smile, saying, "Father! Father! I've killed them all! Did I do well?"
The rest of the Judges watched in horror as this little girl in white with a sweet smile walked away from destruction and their skin crawled, as though they had just seen a demon.
Yue Zhong grinned and ruffled her hair, before giving her a lollipop, "Well done! My Yin Shuang is the smartest and the best! This is your reward!"
Yin Shuang grabbed the lollipop and leaped into his arms, before pecking him on the cheeks, "Thank you Father! Father is the best!"
As he held her, he turned around to eye the rest of the 400 soldiers still standing on the fence, "What are your plans then? Submit to me or choose to die here?"
The Kingdom of God elite soldier whom the rest had gathered around decided not to hesitate anymore and kneeled in front of Yue Zhong, "Zhang Liu Bo is willing to serve Leader!"
"Zhao Yi is willing to serve Leader!"
"Ma Dong is willing to serve Leader!"
"Liu Xuan is willing to serve Leader!"
The rest of the little ring leaders did not dare to bargain further and immediately submitted. They did not want to become cold corpses.
Yue Zhong asked, "Good! I want to know, why does the Kingdom of God want to attack Ulan Town?"
The Kingdom of God had a motive behind every operation. If it wasn't for expansion, there must be some technologically advanced blueprint.
"Leader! I do not know! I think the same goes for everybody here." Zhang Liu Bo hesitated before replying, "The Kingdom of God is cautious against us as we aren't of the same race as them. We only have to follow their orders and the end goal or motive is never made known to us."
Yue Zhong's gaze fell upon Yu Wen Ying.
Feeling his gaze, Yu Wen Ying immediately responded, "Leader! It's true! All the higher-ups in the Kingdom of God are Europeans. Our Chinese, Japanese, African, Thai and other counterparts are only eligible to become heads of our own units. All the secrets are held in the hands of the western people. They have never told us anything."
The Kingdom of God viewed all other races with contempt. They would delegate tasks that they didn't want to these people and would not tolerate their existence within the upper echelons.
Even within the westerners, there were different tiers as well. The highest level was the Aryans, while the lowest was the Jews. However, even then, the Jews were of a higher standing than any other non-white race.
Yue Zhong could not help but frown.
"Leader! I know!" Right at this time, a small voice resounded.
Yu Wen Ying cast a suspicious glance at that soldier as he reprimanded, "Yang Xiong! Are you for real? Don't make some wild guess and mislead the Leader!"
The handsome Yang Xiong flushed as he said, "Yesterday, I slept with a white chick. She spoke some stuff in her excitement. Within the Ulan Mountain Range behind Ulan Town, there's a hidden military facility. This time, we were sent here to obtain the equipment inside there!"
Yue Zhong immediately clenched his fist, "Indeed! They had also received the news then?"
The Kingdom of God had already begun large-scale revitalizing works and could manufacture things like the Thunder Fighter. However, they had to face the whole world, thus, they still required some of the legacies left behind from prior to the apocalypse.
They already had a large amount of info with regards to major facilities as well as satellites. This was how they could monitor the entire Earth.
Yue Zhong then asked, "To whom does the territory of Ulan Town belong to?"
Zhang Liu Bo laughed bitterly and shook his head, "Not too sure. Based on my conjecture, I think they should have been some Border Guards as well as some survivors."
Yue Zhong then surveyed the area and spoke solemnly, "Yu Wen Ying, Zhang Liu Bo, Zhao Yi, Liu Xuan, Ma Dong, go get some men to scout out the town."
"Yes! Leader!" The 5 of them immediately organized small search teams and set off.
Ulan Town still had a number of survivors hiding earlier but with the march of the tens of thousands of Mutant Army Ants, everything had been consumed, leaving only bones behind.
Seeing the bones, Yu Wen Ying and the rest had horrid expressions. At the same time, they could not help but rejoice for the timely arrival of Yue Zhong. At most, they could have killed over a thousand more but they would definitely have died if not for him.
Going back to Yue Zhong side, Yu Wen Ying had an unsightly expression, "Leader! It's bad! All the rations have in Ulan Town had been consumed by the Mutant Army Ants. There's not even a rat left. What do we do?"
Zhang Liu Bo and the rest also looked at Yue Zhong anxiously.
Each time the Kingdom of God sent a large convoy out, there would be food trucks that accompanied each mission. Since those trucks had been driven away by the other elites of the Kingdom of God and the entire ration supply of Ulan Town had been wiped clean, these ex-KoG soldiers were getting worried.
They had brought along dried biscuits and chocolates but it wasn't much. Without enough nourishment, they would succumb to hunger and be unable to utilize more of their strength.
Yue Zhong pointed to one room, "Don't worry about food! I'm prepared! The food over there is enough to last for 3 days."
Zhang Liu Bo and the rest looked at the room suspiciously. They had searched the place once but there was nothing. However, since Yue Zhong said so, they could only send someone to go search.
Yu Wen Ying came out with an excited expression, "Rations! Plenty of them! Leader, you're truly something else!!"
He had discovered over 3 tonnes of rice, which was enough to last them for 3 days.
The eyes of the soldiers were also filled with a newfound respect. They knew that it had been Yue Zhong's doing. Being able to conjure up so much, it proved that Yue Zhong's strength was unfathomable and his ways, mysterious.
One sentry came rushing up to the group, warning, "Not good! Leader! There seems to be a division making their way over here. Their aim seems to be the Ulan Town as well."
Yue Zhong frowned, and walked over to the border, "What? Come with me! Make sure to maintain your cover. Don't let the enemy discover we're here."
Coming to the side, Yue Zhong noticed a number of riders atop Black Stallions, kicking up clouds of dust as they galloped towards Ulan Town.
"The Gold Wolf Riders! The Turkish forces!" Yue Zhong could see the Gold Wolf emblem on the uniforms and his expression turned unsightly.

Chapter 630: Ulan Mountain Range!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"What should I do?" Yue Zhong pondered while clenching his fists tightly.
There were over 1,700 soldiers that were above Level 20. Their strength was formidable. However, in the earlier clash against the Mutant Army Ant, many have spent their bullets and abilities. Without their bullets, they were just ordinary Level 20 Enhancers.
Other than the lack of ammunition, many of the soldiers had taken part in the battle in Ulan Town. After that, the clash with the Mutant Army Ants had exhausted them. Furthermore, the most important thing was that, they had just swore fealty to Yue Zhong and he had no confidence of fully controlling these men. He was worried that the moment the battle turned for the worse, they might lose their will and order will collapse.
Yue Zhong then ordered, "Convey my order! Everyone is to hide and not to reveal your traces. Wait for further instructions!"
"Yes! Leader!" Yu Wen Ying and the rest quickly hid themselves in Ulan Town.
The Enhancement level of these soldiers weren't high but they had undergone special training while under the Kingdom of God. Covering their traces while hiding was one of the basic skills.
Soon, Ulan Town became a dead town without any movements.
"This is Ulan Town!" Within the Gold Wolf Riders, one particular male who looked about 27 or 28, with a huge beard and a towering frame, muttered as he looked coldly at Ulan Town.
Another Turkic general spoke with a feverish look, "General Abudidama! This is Ulan Town. Once we have crossed it, we will have reached the Ulan Mountain Range. As long as we can gain that facilities' supplies, our Gold Wolf Riders would become the strongest faction out here in the Central Plains!"
Abudidama was one of the strongest Evolvers in the Turk Empire. He and Dong-er Molei were 2 powerhouses under Wu-er Tuotuo. He had followed Wu-Er Tuotuo throughout all his battles and conquests and had torn countless experts apart.
For the mission to obtain the regiment's worth of equipment, Abudidama had brought along 2,000 elites of the Gold Wolf Riders.
The possibilities on possessing an advanced battalion with sufficient supplies and firepower was endless. Yue Zhong had demonstrated this by making use of the Thunder Fighters he procured from Qi Mu Town. In that battle, because of the 8 Thunder Fighters, they had managed to destroy the Blood Eagle Riders and Grey Wolf Riders. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been that easy for Yue Zhong to repel those forces.
Abudidama's cold voice rang out, "En! This time, the Mongol Empire and Manchurian Empire had also obtained the same news. We need to be the fastest, the first ones to obtain those supplies. Convey my order. No one is to remain in Ulan Town for more than a second necessary. We have to make haste for Ulan Town!"
One Turk general had an expression of concern, "General! Isn't this too dangerous? What if there are people lying in wait for us in Ulan Town?"
Abudidama calmly replied, "Impossible! Those Mutant Army Ants had just gone through this town. Those fearsome creatures would have already cleaned the entire area of living things. Even if there were people here, they would be a pile of bones by now."
The Mutant Army Ant colony was one of the most feared entities out here near the Ulan Mountain Range. Abudidama had come across them once and other than himself and a few other Agility-based Evolvers, everyone else had been consumed entirely. Remembering the terror that those creatures posed, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
The Turk general immediately chose to kiss ass, "General is wise!"
Under Abudidama's lead, the 3,000 Gold Wolf Riders immediately kicked up a cloud of dust and charged through Ulan Town, following the road towards the Mountain Range.
When they had left, Yue Zhong came emerged from a building. He had decided not to ambush them, because Abudidama would fulfil the role of being cannon fodder, testing the depths of Ulan Mountain Range.
Yue Zhong then gave an order to Yu Wen Ying, "Convey my orders! Everyone is to begin fortification works on Ulan Town! As for food and other resources, I will arrange for supplies to be transported here!"
There were all sorts of Mutant Beasts and Plants within the Ulan Mountain Range, and it was a good training ground. If those Evolvers of above Level 40 and above wanted to improve themselves, they could only head over to the mountain range to train.
Upon controlling Ulan Town, in the future, Yue Zhong could use it to produce Level 40 Evolvers.
"Yes!"
Yu Wen Ying and the rest immediately got to work the moment Yue Zhong passed his orders and began work in Ulan Town. They had undergone basic structural works and practice under the Kingdom of God as well and many had tools on them. Adding on to the fact that they were Enhancers, their Strength being higher than ordinary people by more than 3 times, the works went easy.
At the same time, Yao Yao began to lead an expedition to transport resources and supplies from Qi Mu Town to Ulan Town.
Bai Xiao Sheng quickly brought 50 elites towards Ulan Town and Yue Zhong handed the defence of the town to him, before he chased after the Gold Wolf Riders by himself.
Yue Zhong was not confident in leaving the town to Yu Wen Ying and the rest. Hence, he got Bai Xiao Sheng and Yin Shuang to stay behind.
With Yin Shuang, that fearsome girl-demon staying put in Ulan Town, even if any of the soldiers from the KoG had any strange thoughts, they could only harbor it in their hearts. Bai Xiao Sheng and the 50 elites were thus also part of the control Yue Zhong had designated.
These 1,700 ex-KoG soldiers were all trained and changed classes to soldiers. With enough ammunition and supplies, they were fearsome soldiers.
They were not some motley bunch and although there were only 1,700 of them, with enough logistics and supplies, they could take down over 5,000 elite Japanese soldiers of the Takama-ga-Hara. Not even 10,000 ordinary soldiers were a match for them. The moment they came under him, Yue Zhong finally possessed enough manpower to go against the other factions in the Central Plains.
Since he wanted to power these 1,700 soldiers and didn't want to abandon the regiment's worth of supplies in the Ulan Mountain Range, he could only go after Abudidama by himself.
Currently, Yue Zhong had already enhanced himself to be equivalent to an elite battalion. It can be said he was a one-man army himself. He had the might to contend against small factions.
He did not have any Black Stallions but with his Swift Shadow Bike, he soon managed to catch up to the forces of Abudidama.
The 3,000 Gold Wolf Riders had been diligent and rushed all the way, choosing only to rest for the night at the foot of the mountain range. Abudidama had then brought them in after they were well-rested.
3,000 people proceeded slowly in the forest with all of them on high alert. They had followed the road that was already carved out, not daring to step out of line.
In this apocalyptic world, the forests and jungles were dangerous places. It is qual to city areas with dense populations. In the wilderness, there were all sorts of terrifying Mutant Beasts. If one wasn't careful, even a peak-level Evolver could possibly die at the hands of a Mutant Beast.
The scent of these 3,000 people had obviously attracted some of the powerful hunters within the forest and following some rustling sounds and movements, multiple pair of eyes with ferocious glints stared out at Abudidama and his men.
Abudidama could sense the danger as a high-level expert and he instantly felt a bad feeling, "Not good! We have been targeted!"
"AHH!!!" At this time, from behind the troops, a scream resounded as a Mutant Wolf leapt out from the tall grass, pouncing onto one of the Gold Wolf Riders, tearing into his throat. The scream was the last sound he made.
At almost the same time, over a hundred wolves that had been hiding in the grass leaped out, and they begun to attack the various warriors of the Gold Wolf Riders, ripping their throats.
Over 200 members of the Gold Wolf Riders were taken out within that instant and some were even injured from the swipes and slashes.
"Damn it!" Abudidama was furious and he shot through the Mutant Wolves with his speed of 26 times, waving his gold-coloured curved blade as a number of sword beams slashed out at the Mutant Wolves. Many of them were easily slashed in two by him, their blood dying the ground red.
Yue Zhong, who had activated his Second Order Stealth and was hiding in one corner watching, felt a chill in his heart, "Agility-based Evolver! He must be a peak-level one!"
Yue Zhong's own speed was 25 times that of a person, having exceeded a Type 2 Lightning and few Evolvers could match up to him. The fact that Abudidama's speed could rival his and be even faster was proof that he definitely was an Agility-based Evolver that focused on the development of speed.
Abudidama entered the fray and together with a few other experts, they managed to quickly clear the Mutant Wolves pack. However, they paid the price of over 300 people.
"AH!!! Help! HELP!"
"Save me! Save me!"
Suddenly, screams of help erupted from the Gold Wolf Riders.

Chapter 631: Man-Eating Mutant Flower!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong caught sight of countless Mutant Mountain Leeches the size of 3 fingers, falling like rain, landing on the bodies of the Gold Wolf Riders.
They crawled all around the bodies of the Gold Wolf Riders who were screaming out and struggling, helpless as they were sucked dry of their body fluids before crumpling to the ground.
The warriors of the Gold Wolf Riders tried to slap the leeches away to no avail. Each time they slapped out, part of their flesh would be ripped off together with the leeches, their blood flowing profusely. It was a horrific sight.
Another hundred or so of the warriors struggled frantically and were unfortunately sucked dry by these Mutant Leeches.
Just as these Mutant Leeches managed to suck those Gold Wolf Riders dry, they slithered towards the remaining Gold Wolf Riders with insane speed, looking like little snakes.
After their mutation, these Mutant Mountain Leeches had undergone drastic changes, reaching powerful suction speed and movement.
When they saw the emaciated corpses of their comrades, the Gold Wolf Riders were terrified and began to back up as they hacked and slashed at the Mutant Leeches, slicing them in half.
The life force of the Mutant Leeches were stubbornly strong. Even after being sliced in two, they still wouldn't die. Many had even managed to latch onto more Gold Wolf Riders, their sharp teeth sinking into the bodies and began to suck greedily.
The warriors were getting frightened and many started to fire their weapons.
These Mutant Leeches might be small but their numbers were vast and the whole swarm of them moved towards the warriors, looking like a sea.
"Help!"
"AHHH!"
From time to time, screams would ring out from the group of Gold Wolf Riders, many of them becoming dried corpses.
Abudidama looked at the densely packed Mutant Mountain Leeches and roared out, "Guxianli! Eradicate these damned worms!"
Abudidama's main strength was slaughtering on the battlefield. As for the clearing of such creeps, it would be like slapping flies.
One particular beautiful woman stepped out, her nose high and sharp, her skin fair. Her eyes were bewitching and her figure voluptuous. She waved her hands and a terrifying flame was conjured out of thin air, burning the entire patch of worms.
Those Mutant Worms were the most afraid of flames and the moment they were burned, they shriveled up and died, emitting crackling sounds as they were burnt.
In the Turkic Empire where experts were numerous, Guxianli happened to be a top expert fighting with fire. She was a Spirit-based Evolver, a genius amongst genius. However, her combat strength was slightly inferior to both Dong-Er Molei and Abudidama.
After eradicating the swarm of Mutant Leeches, the Gold Wolf Riders continued their advance. However, their morale was low. After all, they had not yet engaged in any true battle or fights, but they had already lost over 400 people with 50 injured. It was about 1% of their strength and they naturally could not muster any fighting spirit.
Abudidama looked at them and opened his mouth to say, "This time, everyone had worked hard. Once we complete this mission, I will ask the Emperor to open the Red Inn and let everyone enjoy themselves for 10 days!"
"What? The Red Inn! For real?!"
"That's great! This time, I'll definitely do my best for the mission!"
Hearing the words of Abudidama, all the Gold Wolf Riders became excited.
The Red Inn was a sort of attraction place of the Turkic Empire, where many beauties of different races and descent were placed. They were all beauties in the world before the apocalypse and each of them had the aura of top beauties. This place was only reserved for those who had obtained huge merits for the army and could enjoy the women inside.
When the Gold Wolf Riders heard that they were allowed to head to the Red Inn, everyone suddenly seemed to be excited. It was a sacred place where only generals were allowed. Now they could go and have a taste themselves.
The soldiers of the Gold Wolf Riders became excited and continued through the forests, easily defeating a group of Mutant Monkeys before reaching their destination.
Surrounded by many trees, a huge barracks the size of hundreds of hectares appeared in front of them.
Abudidama's eyes narrowed and he saw 2 rows of tanks sitting neatly within the camp and his eyes immediately lit up in joy, "Tanks! We've struck gold!"
Out here in the Central Plains, a single tank possessed the strength to wipe out a faction of over a thousand people. Abudidama could tell that there were about 8 tanks right outside and there were definitely even more supplies within.
"Charge! Everybody charge in!" Abudidama roared out as he waved his curved blade, charging into the camp.
A regiment would not exceed ten thousand people. With Abudidama's current strength, even if there were ten thousand zombies inside, it wouldn't be an issue to kill them.
The 2,000-over Gold Wolf Riders immediately charged into the huge barracks.
The moment the forces of Abudidama charged in, they realized there were no zombies anywhere. Within the huge barracks, there were thick vines growing and large, vibrant flowers grew on them.
Abudidama had sensed a strange atmosphere the moment he stepped into the barracks and he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of danger, causing him to shout involuntarily, "Retreat! Retreat!"
Under his orders, the 2,000-over Gold Wolf Riders began to retreat out.
Right at this moment, a long vine covered in fresh and pretty flowers shot out and the huge flower seemed to bloom with life opened, revealing a deep dark hole that had no end and rows of sharp teeth.
This huge flower clamped down on the head of a few Gold Wolf Riders like a specter. With a powerful thug and a 'kacha' sound, the heads of those Gold Wolf Riders were torn from their bodies, their corpses slumping to the ground.
The rest of the Gold Wolf Riders began to slash the flowers with vigor. When suddenly, a few vines shot out from the ground, piercing some of the Gold Wolf Riders, absorbing their innards greedily.
In an instant, over 400 Gold Wolf Riders had their heads torn off by those fearsome flowers, turning into fertilizer for the monstrous Mutant Plants.
"Fuck!!!" Abudidama's blade slashed out in bright flashes, chopping the vines while sounds of metal hitting metal resounded. The Type 4 Treasure that was his weapon had no means of cutting through those vines.
"Guxianli! Burn these fucking plants!" Abdudidama tried to dodge the attacks of the vines, as he roared out.
Guxianli's eyes flashed coldly, as she retreated and waved her hands about, a strong flame tornado firing out towards the vines.
When the burning hot flames landed on the flowers, the vines instantly burnt and sounds of crackling were heard.
The vines seemed to be able to tell that Guxianli possessed the means to threaten them. Hence, all the vines near the entrance let go off everyone else and made to claw towards Guxianli.
Countless vines shot towards her, intending to slap her to death. Witnessing this, Guxianli immediately felt despair. Her ability was strong, but her personal combat skills were not as strong, the vines would be able to slap her into meat paste.
"Guxianli!" Abudidama roared out and finally revealed his trump card. His face turned pale as 2 sharp fangs revealed themselves in his mouth. With a flash, he disappeared from his location and surpassed the speed of the Mutant Vines, instantly appearing beside Guxianli and grabbed her to disappear from the location.
His trump card was the Second Order Vampire Transformation. Turning into a vampire could push his speed to an insane limit, reaching 34 times that of a normal person. His transformation gave him a speed that was even few times faster than Yue Zhong.
The speed of those vines weren't slow and Abudidama was forced to evade as much as he could. In the end, he was still struck heavily by 2 of them, causing him to soar in the air for over 20m, spitting blood.
Abudidama didn't dare to stay a second longer within the area of the vines and quickly appeared outside of the barracks in a few breaths.
The remaining thousand over warriors of the Gold Wolf Riders also ran out pathetically. However, just as they managed to escape, countless bullets rained down upon them, ripping into their bodies.
2,000 Manchurian forces had teamed up with the Mongolians as they established some form of formation, hiding behind cover as they fired bullets wildly at the Gold Wolf Riders.
Ao Dou stood with the Manchurian forces and cold out coldly, "Abudidama, I'm very thankful that you guys have fulfilled your roles as cannon fodder so perfectly. You've actually helped us discover the secret of this base! Now that you're useless, you may die!"
The Turkic Empire had always been vicious and ruthless, killing many Manchurians as well as their elites. That was why Ao Dou was full of hatred for Abudidama as well.
Abudidama saw the numerous Gold Wolf Riders under him in their own pools of blood and roared, "Ao Dou, you fucking animal! You actually are in cahoots with the Mongols! You'll die a horrible death! Today's matter, I'll definitely not forget this! You'd all better remember this!"

Chapter 632: Trap!

Ao Dou laughed cruelly, "Hmph! This time next year will be your death anniversary! Abudidama, when you're dead, I'll help you 'take care' of Guxianli, I will get ALL my subordinates to help take good care of her!!"
Under that barrage of bullets, a large number of Gold Wolf Riders were riddled with bullets, and the remaining survivors quickly retreated back toward the barracks.
A number of snake-like vines wormed their way towards the soldiers, and the Mutant Man-eating Flowers bloomed and devoured the retreating soldiers.
"No!! No!!" One particular vine snaked around the legs of an unfortunate soldier and dragged him towards the flower to be consumed.
The Gold Wolf Rider turned to fire at them flowers and vines, firing madly. He managed to blast the petals and mouth of the flower, when suddenly, a huge sharp tendril shot out from within, piercing his throat.
After killing that Gold Wolf Rider, other tendrils shot out and pierced his body, as they started to absorb his bodily fluids.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!!" Another soldier that had rushed into the camp began to fire wildly at the Mutant Flowers, to no avail.
A Mutant Flower suddenly dropped down from the skies, enveloping the head of one Gold Wolf Rider, and with a 'kacha' sound, his head was instantly bitten off.
As the screams rang out, many of the Gold Wolf Riders were being killed off, their bodies devoured entirely.
"Die!! Die!!" One blade-wielding Saint Wolf Rider finally snapped, and he began to lash out, slicing out madly. Under his enraged attacks,nothing could not be destroyed.
After slicing through about 10 thick vines, over a hundred vines suddenly burst forth like cannons from all directions and pierced towards him.
The moment the vines attacked, they turned the Saint Wolf Rider into a sieve. Although he could easily slash through some of the vines, with an assault like this, it was impossible for him to evade.
Another Saint Wolf Rider utilized his Ice Manipulation skills and blasted out with his fists. A strong freezing energy enveloped one of the vines. At the next instant, with a loud 'kacha', the ice broke apart and the Mutant Man-eating Flower opened its huge mouth to swallow the head of the Saint Wolf Rider.
The entire barracks was like a scene out of hell, with numerous Man-eating Flowers gobbling up Gold Wolf Riders everywhere, and even the Saint Wolf Riders could not hold out any longer under the countless tendrils and vines.
Abudidama carried Guxianli and retreated all the way into the midst of the barracks, and felt his Stamina dropping like crazy. He could only roar out, "Charge out!! Charge out and have it out with them!! There's only hope if we do that!! Saint Wolf Riders, on me!!"
The Gold Wolf Riders in the barracks all had bloodshot eyes, their expressions like cornered beasts, and with a resounding, unified roar, they all charged out.
They had been pushed to desperation, and remaining in the barracks would just spell death.
As they charged out, bullets met them.
The remaining 120 Saint Wolf Riders braved the rain of bullet, charging forth towards the Manchu and Mongol allied forces. Since they were already desperate, there was nothing to do except charge headlong.
These Saint Wolf Riders were all wearing Type 2 Mutant Beast hide and some other armor made out of high-level Mutant Beast hide. They could withstand ordinary bullets.
The dense barrage of bullets only managed to kill 20 of the Saint Wolf Riders, their bodies slumping to the ground.
The remaining Saint Wolf Riders managed to reach the allied forces and began to unleash a massacre on them. These were all enhanced above Level 20, and easily slaughtered 30 soldiers of the allied forces.
"Kill!" Ao Dou waved his hands and ordered coldly.
The White Armor Army's leader, Ming Shu Wu, who wielded a large curved blade of over 2m led a hundred members of the White Armor Army and charged right for the Saint Wolf Riders.
Ming Shu Wu was an Agility-based Evolver and had over 18 times speed of a normal person. Each time he slashed out at his maximum speed, his strikes would exceed the sound barrier. As he met the Saint Wolf Riders, many of them were instantly sliced in half.
He was like a gust of wind, and each time he flashed past, there would be a spray of blood and a body that was split in half. It seemed that no one could withstand a single hit from him.
On the Mongol side, there was also a peak-level expert by the name of Hahn, who led his own forces to attack the Saint Wolf Riders.
The man called Hahn was a 2m-tall warrior who wielded a huge hammer of over 600 kg. In his hands, it was like a needle, and he waved it about easily, smashing his enemies into pulp.
Ao Dou and the general of the Mongol Army, Zheli Mu, just eyed Abudidama coldly. As long as he moved, they would join hands to attack him.
As a peak level Evolver, Abudidama was a threat and his strength was higher than most of the fighters on the field. The moment he escaped, the Manchuria and Mongol Empires would have another strong enemy to deal with. Ao Dou and Zheli Mu would definitely not let him get away.
Although they didn't yet move, their fixed gaze was like a strong pressure on Abudidama. He was extremely clear that these 2 were just waiting for a good opportunity, to make him stay, once and for all.
Zheli Mu eyed Abudidama and called out, "Abudidama! I actually do admire you and your talents. If you surrender to me right now and swear loyalty to our Mongol Empire, I can let you and Guxianli off. Otherwise, today will be the day you die. You guys are still young, it would be such a waste to die here!! There're countless things in this world still meant to be enjoyed!"
Beside Ao Dou, a crafty-looking man by the name of Niu Dong laughed out lewdly, "That's right! Abudidama, even if you don't care about yourself, you should think of Guxianli in your arms right? If you were to die here, and she lands up in our hands, all our brothers here will really 'take care' of her, you know? I wonder how long she will be able to last?"
Niu Dong was a lustful and low man, his mouth extremely sharp and poisonous. He was also utilized by Ao Dou to either convince enemies, or to curse at them.
Abudidama could not help but tremble slightly. If it was just him alone, he would definitely not think of surrendering. With his agility and power, even if he couldn't fight them, he could definitely outrun them. However, with Guxianli in his arms, it was harder.
Ao Dou and Zheli Mu were both experts on par with Abudidama. Other than them, there was the White Armor Army, and the Qie Xue Army to consider. If he was surrounded, it would be impossible for him to break out.
Guxianli raised her head to look at Abudidama, and pleaded, "Dama!! I don't want to die!! Let's live on together."
Some people would choose to end their lives themselves at the face of death, yet more would want to live. Even if it was at the cost of their pride and dignity, they would still want to live.
Guxianli's words broke Abudidama's final line of his psychological barrier. He really loved this woman, whose figure, behaviour and sultriness in bed thoroughly mesmerized him.
He gritted his teeth and made the decision, "Fine!! Ao Dou, Zheli Mu! I can take my men to surrender. However, you have to promise the safety of my troops and immediately cease all attacks!"
"Stop all attacks!"
With a single command, the allied forces stopped attacking the Gold Wolf Riders.
The remaining 300 Gold Wolf Riders panted, looking at their fellow comrades who laid dead all around them. Many of them weren't willing to die.
One Saint Wolf Rider charged at Abudidama with a savage look, "Abudidama!! How could you betray us?! You fucking traitor!! I'll kill you!!"
"We'll kill you!!"
"Kill this traitor dog!!"
There were many loyal Turks amongst the Gold Wolf Riders, and they were of one mind for the revival of the Turk Empire. Witnessing Abudidama's betrayal, they could not help but launch their attacks.
"Seeking death!" Abudidama carried Guxianli and his eyes flashed coldly. In a flash, he charged into the midst of the Saint Wolf Riders, slashing at the loyal Saint Wolf Riders and killing them.
After killing dozens of experts instantly, Abudidama kneeled in front of Zheli Mu on a single knee and proclaimed, "Abudidama is willing to serve the Mongol Empire!"
The enmity between the Gold Wolf Riders and Manchuria was extremely deep, furthermore, since the largest faction was the Mongol Empire out here in the Central Plains, it was natural that Abudidama chose to serve the Mongol Empire compared to Manchuria.
"Good! Good!! Good!!" Zheli Mu's face had a smile, before it suddenly twisted into a savage grin, and he activated his own killing move, Second Order Explosive Fist. His right fist suddenly swung towards Abudidama's head with a terrifying speed, as well as raging flames.
Since Abudidama was a peak Evolver, the moment Zheli Mu moved, he had already felt a premonition, and he twisted to evade the blow.
Unfortunately, Abudidama had kneeled on one knee, and although his speed was almost unparalleled, it was still slightly slow. The blow from Zheli Mu managed to strike his right shoulder. An explosive strength burst out, blasting the Abudidama's shoulder together with the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide into pieces.
The flames burned his face, resulting in an ugly charred look. He could not open his eyes as well.
He gritted his teeth and bore with the pain, retreating backwards like a squid. He knew it was a critical moment and he might die if he wasn't careful.
Abudidama retreated with his eyes squinted, and a sharp blade whistled through the air, threatening to split him at the waist.
Facing that impending blow, Abudidama was somehow still able to twist his body and dodge that powerful killing move.
"You can die without regrets!" Following an icy tone, Ao Dou immediately stabbed down with a silver curved blade, piercing Abudidama's heart. With another bright flash, his large blade then split his body in two.
"Kill them all!!" After taking care of Abudidama, Ao Dou ordered coldly.
The allied forces then raised their guns immediately and fired wildly at the Gold Wolf Riders, who were caught off guard and died.
In an instant, the powerful Que Xie Troops and White Armor Army charged at the Gold Wolf Riders, targeting the stronger Saint Wolf Riders.
Ao Dou's gaze was cold as he walked towards Guxianli.
Guxianli kneeled on the ground, her face full of fear as she pleaded, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!! I'm willing to do anything for you! You can get me to do anything. Please, don't kill me!"
Ao Dou looked at her with contempt, "For such a woman, Abudidama actually died, what a fool."
Zheli Mu laughed, "He's truly stupid. With his standing, he could get any women he wanted, he actually lost his life for this bitch. What a waste. If it wasn't for his stupidity, it would have been harder to kill him. Although she's a stupid bitch, she actually did managed to help us with this, even though it was unintentional. Let's spare her. She still has some use!"
Ao Dou looked at her and said, "Fine! Guxianli! We won't kill you. Get up!"
Guxianli stood up, twisting her snake-like waist as she smiled seductively at Ao Dou, "Yes! Sir Ao Dou!!"
She had relied on her attractive charms to thoroughly capture Abudidama's heart, keeping him deep in her pockets.
The allied forces thus wiped out the rest of the Gold Wolf Riders with ease, and there were corpses everywhere, with blood and organs splattered all around. A number of vines shot out from the barracks, piercing the corpses, sucking them dry.

Chapter 633: Treants!

Ao Dou looked at the tendrils and vines stretching out all over the ground within the barracks and frowned, "Those Mutant Plants are truly something else, any suggestions?"
Zheli Mu thought deeply before replying, "Bullets! Weapons are ineffective. Fire, they seem to be afraid of fire! We can get those with fire-based abilities to deal with them."
Ao Dou countered, "That may be true, but they are too numerous, even if all the flame users were to expend all their energy, it's impossible to burn the entire thing."
Zheli Mu laughed out confidently, "No need to worry! I've observed for a while. They might look like countless vines, in fact, they're all from a single source. As long as we can take down the main trunk of the Mutant Plant, all the vines will die out."
Zhemu Li didn't only possess strength, he had high intelligence and was always observing the battlefield, quickly discerning the crux of the problem.
Ao Dou spoke solemnly, "To deal with those vines, ordinary soldiers aren't going to be of help. We need to form a proper task force, and eliminate the vines before slowly making our way in, and destroying the main trunk."
Zheli Mu nodded slightly, "En!"
If ordinary soldiers were to step up to fight against those vines, they would just die. Zheli Mu didn't want to squander their lives just like that.
Ao Dou turned to glance at Guxianli coldly, "Guxianli, you're coming with us!"
Guxianli replied warmly, "Yes!"
Soon, a force of over 200 White Armor soldiers and Que Xie troops were gathered, and led by Ao Dou and Zheli Mu, they entered the barracks.
The moment this troop of over 200 elites entered the barracks, countless vines and tendrils shot towards them.
This time, Ao Dou and the rest were prepared, as they got into a formation that supported and protected one another. With Ao Dou and another 3 powerful blade experts as the vanguard, they slashed through the incoming vines, constantly making their way deeper into the army camp.
The vines were being chopped up by Ao Dou and the rest, as they forcefully carved a bloody path towards the center.
Yue Zhong had activated his Second Order and was following behind Ao Dou.
After cutting through countless vines, Ao Dou finally managed to arrive at the deep parts of the camp. The troops immediately saw a huge tree that stood tall, reaching the clouds, with a trunk so thick that not even 20 people could wrap their arms around it. Numerous vines as thick as water buckets hung from the branches, as a number of Man-eating Mutant Flowers bloomed all over the vines. A strong flowery fragrance was in the air as well.
As they arrived in front of this strange giant tree, all of the people had shock in their eyes when they saw it. Not even Yue Zhong was unaffected.
On top of the tree, there was a strange woman with absolutely stunning looks that wore countless leaves woven together as a top. Her legs were uncovered, and her hair was a thick lush green color. Her eyes were clear, and her figure was extremely sexy and attractive. She looked down at the soldiers quietly.
Seeing such a beauty sitting atop the Mutant Plant that consumed humans, this caused everyone to feel a sense of shock and mystery.
The green-haired woman continued to eye all of them, her eyes sweeping across them, before landing on Yue Zhong who was hiding in a corner while in stealth.
"I was discovered!" Yue Zhong saw that he was found out immediately by the bewitching beauty and felt his hairs stand.
"Female Tree Spirit, a high-intelligence biological entity among the Mutant Plants."
Yue Zhong looked at the green-haired beauty as a notification resounded in his mind.
As the beauty continued to survey the troops below, the vines on the tree did not attack them.
Ao Dou did not really react much to the beautiful tree spirit, instead ordering loudly, "Guxianli!! Set fire to the tree!! Hurry!!"
"Yes!" Guxianli gritted her teeth, and activated her Flame Manipulation. A powerful fiery tornado conjured out of thin air and shot towards the trunk of the tree.
With Ao Dou in the centre, 7 other Enhancers with Flame Manipulation skills began to fire at the huge tree trunk.
As the flame skills blasted the huge tree, it began to catch fire and burn.
The seemingly immobile vines immediately shot towards the people below. Ao Dou and the rest began to exhibit their skills and abilities, chopping the various tendrils and vines.
The green-haired beauty had a cold look flash past her eyes, and she leaped up, emitting a sharp howl towards the skies.
Immediately after that call, numerous round fruits of about 1.45m dropped down from the tree, landing on the ground.
When they landed, they split apart to reveal strange creatures within with yellow hair, ugly looks, green skin, thick and coarse legs, as well as sharp claws.
"Level 30 Strange Beast, Low Level Treant! Extremely agile, its sharp claws can tear an armored vehicle apart!"
When they appeared, they immediately charged right at Ao Dou and the rest, a number actually routed around them and aimed for the allied forces outside.
With a flash of his silver curved blade, Ao Dou managed to kill another 3 low-level Treants, as he shouted out, "Set fire!! Set fire and burn that damn tree!!!"
Guxianli and the rest of the Enhancers quickly channeled their abilities, and sent as much as flames as they could towards the huge towering tree.
Under the burning, the huge Mutant Tree seemed to be writhing in agony, thrashing about, as countless fruits rained down on the ground.
As the fruits landed, more treants jumped out, and immediately launched an assault on the soldiers.
They were incredibly ferocious, and their combat strength high.As they surrounded the warriors, some of the Evolvers began to suffer serious injuries.
One particular Enhancer managed to kill one of the low level treants, but immediately, 7 pounced on him. Beside him, there were 2 other experts, 1 used his blade to kill a treant, while the other swung his hammer to send another flying. However, the rest of the 5 managed to latch onto the unfortunate warrior, and tore into his head with their sharp claws, twisting and slicing his head off.
The remaining treants then leapt to the sides, jumping onto the dead warrior's comrades, and did the same to them, sticking their claws into the necks and decapitating the warriors.
These low level Treants continued to attack Ao Dou and the rest. There were a few that swarmed towards Yue Zhong, together with a few thick vines.
Yue Zhong looked at these low level Treants and a strong killing intent burst out of him. He whisked out his Level 5 Black Tooth Blade, and sent out a few blade beams at the tree vines.
With the sharpness of the Black Tooth Blade, the vines and treants were all chopped in two.
"Yue Zhong!!!" This action immediately shocked Ao Dou, as he turned around to ascertain that the man wielding the Black Tooth Blade was really the greatest enemy of their Manchuria Empire.
Ao Dou looked at Yue Zhong, a chill creeping in his heart, "He had always been following behind us, and we actually did not discover anything! He's too frightening!"
Ao Dou's danger perception was extremely acute, and he actually did not discover someone following them from behind. This caused some fear to take root.
Right now, the low-level Treants dropping from the huge Mutant Plant was growing in numbers, reaching over a thousand. At the same time, there were others converging on their location from all directions. It seemed that it was an impossible battle.
Ao Dou was being bogged down by those Treants, and had no way of attacking Yue Zhong.
He immediately changed his way of thinking and his voice rang out, "Leader Yue ZHong! Why don't we work together to eradicate these evil things? Our enmity can be left to when we leave this place, how about that?"
These low-level Treants were currently the headache for both sides. If Ao Dou and the rest did not take down the tree, they would all die. Upon weighing the pros and cons, he made the decision to forget about their enmity and focus their strength on taking down the huge Mutant Tree.
Yue Zhong also barely paused for a moment and came to a decision, "Alright! I'll help you guys out!!"
Yue Zhong pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun, and fired at the trunk of the huge tree.
A terrifying burst of light exploded on the tree trunk, directly piercing it, forming a hole the size of an adult fist.
The wound immediately began to ooze with green sap, as though it was injured heavily, just like a person.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, as he waved his blade to chop the vines away, instantly killing many of the low level Treants. His right hand continued to fire, as many burst shots from the Electromagnetic Gun continued to fire holes into the tree trunk.
As more holes appeared in the tree, the tree trunk begun to bleed more furiously, trembling uncontrollably. More Treants continued to drop from the tree.
As the beautiful Female Tree Spirit looked on, its face flashed with anxiety, and it suddenly emitted a loud shriek towards the skies.
Hong!!
Suddenly, from the roof of the tree, 6 huge round fruits about 8m each dropped down.
These fruits split apart, revealing 6 powerful looking treants, of about 8m and bark covering everywhere.
"Level 80 Strange Beast: High Level Treant, possessing incredible defense and combat strength.",
The 6 Treants immediately charged forth at Ao Dou and the rest like tanks.
Although these 8m-tall Treants were huge, their movement was incredibly agile, and they burst forth with 18 times speed of a normal person. They charged right through the troops and immediately began to massacre the soldiers.
The various abilities of air, wind, ice and flames all continued to blast at these high level Treants, causing their bark to chip and fly away. However, a single fist of these Treants could instantly flatten the soldiers into meat paste.
"Go to hell!!" 4 Enhancers with large blades immediately charged forth at one of the high level Treants without fear, slashing at its legs. They were all Strength-based Enhancers, and after activating their ability, they had dozen times Strength. With each slash, they could easily slash apart an armored vehicle.
The 4 large blades only managed to slice into 1cm of the bark of the Treant, and could not penetrate further. The high level Treant coldly slapped down with its hands, and instantly pulverized the 4 Enhancers into meat paste.
The attacks of these Enhancers had no way of breaking past the defence of the Treants. As long as they charged forwards to attack, they would almost instantly be slapped dead.
The 6 powerful treants managed to breach the formation of Ao Dou's troops, and many of them were forced to flee in different directions, before being surrounded and ripped apart by the low level Treants.
The flame users were the targets of those 6 high level Treants, and the moment they charged through the troops, they made a beeline for the flame users!
"No!!" Despair was written all over Guxianli's face, but before she could do anything, a huge palm came down from the sky and flattened her into a meat paste.
The rest of the flame users were also quickly killed by these high level Treants/
"Damn it!!! Damn it!! Damn beasts!!" By now, Ao Dou's eyes were bloodshot and he had charged in front of a high level Treant like an enraged bull, slashing out furiously. His silver curved blade unleashed a few more blade beams onto the thick legs of the Treant.
The silver blade beam managed to leave a deep 1m scar on the legs of the Treant, but it didn't seem to affect the Treant, which shot out a palm to slap towards Ao Dou.
A bright shield suddenly appeared in front of Ao Dou, defending him.
The huge palm slapped onto the bright shield, which trembled a little, before it crumbled and disintegrated under the absolute strength.
Ao Dou then borrowed that moment of reprieve to retreat backwards rapidly.
Right at this time, 10 low level Treants pounced towards Ao Dou. As long as he was subdued by them, the high level Treant could easily flatten him into meat paste.
"Mad Bull Charge!!"
At this critical moment, Ao Dou roared out in rage and activated his skill, his entire person seemingly charging towards the distance in fury.
2 low level Treants were instantly sent flying from his charge, however, they managed to tear apart his clothes with their claws, revealing the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide within his clothes.
Ao Dou charged out for 30m, before he pulled out his silver curved blade and fired a few more blade beams to escape out.
The high level Treant that had been slashed by Ao Dou quickly grew a new layer of bark over its wounds, and within 20 seconds, it had recovered fully.

Chapter 634: Tree Spirit Bi Lǜ!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The 6 Treants all had monstrous strength, formidable defense, as well as perverse recovery. They were even more fearsome than L4s. The experts of the White Armor Army and Que Xie Troops could only flee and evade.
Right now, the entire military base was crawling with those low level Treants, and the warriors of the allied forces had to deal with the random assaults from them. Every step they took was fraught with danger. They were surrounded on all sides, and would be slapped to minced paste the moment they got caught by the high level Treants.
Yue Zhong wielded his Electromagnetic Gun and continued to fire at the tree trunk without stop. Each blast caused more holes, with sap oozing out without stop.
Yue Zhong's marksmanship was extremely accurate, and he continued to fire up the tree trunk in a single line, causing a huge tear in the Mutant Plant. If he continued this way, he would definitely be able to cause the tree to be split.
Currently, he had activated Shadow Steps and Bone Encompassing Armor. The layer of bone carapace covering him would constantly sliced out with 10 sharp bone blades, twisting and slashing the vines and low level Treants trying to surround him.
Since Yue Zhong and White Bones were linked mentally when he activated Bone Encompassing Armor, he could also hand the control of the armor to White Bones, allow it to battle automatically. It was truly overpowered. It was precisely due to this skill and utilization of it that allowed him to fully focus on damaging the Mutant Plant while under the attacks of the Treants and vines.
Outside the camp, there could be loud and rapid gunshots heard, it was obvious that the allied forces outside were facing off against the treants.
It seemed that there were a large number of humans being torn apart by the Treants and vines every second, as both battlefields became even more intense.
Feeling the threat of Yue Zhong, 2 of the high level Treants came charging towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong felt a chill in his heart when he saw them coming towards him, and he disappeared from his location. He started to weave in and out of the swarm of low level Treants, all the while firing at the gigantic Mutant Plant.
He activated his Shadow Steps, pushing his speed to 30 times that of a normal person, and as the Treants were only 18 times as fast as a person, while they might be terrifying to most ordinary soldiers, they could not compare with Yue Zhong.
Those low level Treants that tried to surround him were instantly sliced apart by the bone blades emerging from him. Even if they were fortunate enough to hit Yue Zhong, they could only cause small white scars on the bone carapace.
A number of blood-filled corpses were sent flying through the skies, while Yue Zhong weaved in and out of those.
"Strong!" Ao Dou looked at how easily Yue Zhong was handling himself, and his face fell.
Ao Dou was also a peak level Evolver, but against the multitude of attacks from these low level Treants, he had to exert all his might. Even then, he felt at a disadvantage. His body was ridden with wounds and scars, and if it weren't for the protective Type 3 Mutant Beast covering, he would have been split apart countless times.
Kacha!
The Electromagnetic Gun fired out over a hundred beams, and finally, the extremely valuable Type 3 Nuclei within it shattered after dimming, turning into dust.
Yue Zhong swiftly switched out another Type 3 Nuclei. Each of these were extremely precious, but under the current circumstances, he could not afford to care.
He swiftly resumed his firing and soon expended the 2nd Type 3 Nuclei. By now, the huge Mutant Plant had lost most of its vitality. Many of the vines had crumpled to the ground, and the numerous Mutant man-eating flowers had wilted and dropped to the ground.
The green-haired Tree Spirit who was atop the tree had a huge change in expression as she caressed the tree, her eyes full of tears as she seemed to speak to the Mutant Tree in some strange language.
"It's time!" Yue Zhong looked as the countless vines drooped, his eyes flashing, and he charged towards the trunk.
A number of the low level Treants roared out and tried to block in front of him, but were quickly sliced apart due to his strength.
It was as though the 4 high level Treants could detect Yue Zhong's intentions, as they quickly let go off their current targets, and made their way towards him swiftly.
Yue Zhong appeared right in front of the tree trunk in the blink of an eye, the bone spike beneath his feet shooting out. It supported his climbing up the trunk, as he made for the green-haired Tree Spirit.
He already had the young Mermaid Queen Hai Lan, and the young zombie girl Yin Shuang, he knew that these strange biological entities of the apocalyptic world were powerful and had high intelligence. If he could control them, he could utilize them well in future battles.
The green-haired Tree Spirit looked at Yue Zhong, a strange rune shooting out from between her brows with bright green radiance, and Yue Zhong raised his right hand to deflect it.
"So you still have some moves left!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, and he activated his Gravity Manipulation.
A two-fold gravity suddenly enveloped the Tree Spirit, her body trembling slightly and the green radiance dimmed.
Yue Zhong then sent out a fist with a speed that broke the sound barrier, together with his Dark Dou Qi, and his might caused the green radiance to be shattered. He then grabbed the woman's neck, and a strange and smooth sensation travelled up his fingertips.
Yue Zhong eyed the Tree Spirit, his voice icy cold, "Do you understand my words?"
There was a look of fear on her face, her lips did not move, but a mental message appeared in Yue Zhong's mind, "Of course I understand! Human, don't kill me!! I don't want to die!!"
Yue Zhong looked at her, his heart full of joy, but he maintained his mask of indifference and threatened, "I won't kill you! But from today onwards, you must listen to my every command!!"
She immediately replied, "Alright!"
Yue Zhong pointed to the countless treants below, "Can you control them?"
She replied, "Yes! As long as they're from the mother tree, all treants, tree spirits are under my command."
"This time, I've gained a treasure!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with excitement.
The number of treants below was staggering, reaching over thousands, and were all strange beasts of over Level 30. The 6 high level Treants were even more terrifying, and the White Armor Army and Que Xie Troops could not do anything to them. This was a mighty force, and the moment it came under Yue Zhong's control, his military might gained another boost.
The green-haired Tree Spirit eyed Yue Zhong and asked, "Do you want me to order them to stop?"
Yue Zhong looked at the elites of the White Armor Army and Que Xie Troop struggling, and ordered coldly, "There's no need! Order your subordinates to wipe them out!"
These White Armor and Que Xie warriors were all irritating Enhancers to deal with. If he allowed them to live, in the future, there will be countless warriors that might fall at their hands. Since there was a chance now, Yue Zhong would rather eradicate them.
The Tree Spirit eyed Yue Zhong with a look of understanding, saying, "Yes!"
Yue Zhong eyed the dying troops below, and spoke, "You mentioned the mother tree, is it this Mutant Plant?"
The Tree Spirit's eyes dimmed as she looked at it, before looking at Yue Zhong, tears flowing down her cheek, "Yes! It had already been killed by you!"
Hearing her cry, Yue Zhong felt ashamed. When he had treated it as an enemy initially, he had not held back and was focused on destroying it. If it wasn't for the fact that he had destroyed its life essence, it would not have been easy for him to capture this beautiful Tree Spirit in front of him.
With the death of the mother tree, the vines had withered, that was how Yue Zhong could get close to the mother tree and the Tree Spirit. If it wasn't dead, with the protection of the countless vines, Yue Zhong would never have been able to take a step close.
Yue Zhong was slightly embarrassed and asked, "Can the mother tree recover?"
The beautiful Tree Spirit hesitated before replying, "It can! As long as its core is undamaged, it can grow again! However, it requires a large amount of nourishment in blood to swiftly grow. It also requires flesh and blood to produce those treants."
Yue Zhong pointed at those 6 high level Treants and asked, "What are the conditions in producing those Treants?"
The might of the 6 Treants was terrifying, and they were like 6 humanoid tanks. If a 100 of them could be produced, then against zombies, humans, or any Mutant Beasts, it would be an overpowered trump card.
The beautiful Tree Spirit said, "The production of those high level Treants is extremely difficult. The mother tree would require to swallow a large amount of blood essence as well as special materials and infected bodies. It would be even tougher to produce anything larger or more powerful. It would require at least a month's time as well as enough blood essence, special materials and nuclei. My mother tree had never produced a Treant General before, otherwise, you guys wouldn't be able to defeat me.."
"Strong!! This time, I truly obtained a treasure!" When Yue Zhong heard it, he looked at this beautiful Tree Spirit, and smiled, "From now on, you're my subordinate. Do you have a name?"
"Nope!"
Yue Zhong chuckled, "Then, you're called Bi Lǜ from now on."
Bi Lu nodded slightly, "En! I'm called Bi Lǜ."

Chapter 635: Heart!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong eyed Ao Dou below and pointed at him while giving Bi Lǜ a command, "Get 4 of the high level Treants to surround that one and kill him!"
Ao Dou was truly a peak Evolver, having survived countless attacks even when surrounded by those low level Treants. He was still slashing out at them, while dodging the attacks of the single high level Treant. The silver curved blade in his hands slashed out with multiple blade beams, slicing up the little treants. It was a spectacular sight.
The allied forces had another peak level expert outside, Zheli Mu, who had been beaten badly by the 3 large Treants outside. He had then utilized some strange skill to disappear from his location.
Bi Lǜ replied softly, "En!" before pointing at Ao Dou.
At that moment, 4 of the large Treants threw aside their targets and made for Ao Dou in a mad dash.
Ao Dou was not stupid, the moment he saw Bi Lǜ standing with Yue Zhong, he felt a bad premonition arise in his heart, and he shouted, "Leader Yue Zhong, let us leave here alive! As long as you do, from now on, our Manchu Empire will be your Great Han Alliance's friend!!"
The corners of Yue Zhong's mouth twitched in a cold smile. This Ao Dou looked like a valiant warrior, but he was in fact pretty crafty.
Ao Dou had lured Abudidama into surrendering, then went back on his word and executed him just because there was no certainty of his loyalty. This had already showcased his viciousness and craftiness. Yue Zhong would definitely not let this tiger back into its mountain.
Yue Zhong looked at the countless warriors being torn apart and replied coldly, "Ao Dou! There's no need for more bullshit! Today will be the day you die! At least you won't be alone down in the Yellow Springs! Your subordinates will follow you!"
Ao Dou continued to slash at 8 low level Treants and shouted back, "Yue Zhong! Those who aren't of our race will be treated as such! You have colluded with these strange beings, you will definitely not have a good ending!!"
Yue Zhong laughed coldly and pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun and aimed, "The one who will not have a good ending is you!"
Ao Dou immediately felt a surge of danger in his heart, he had seen for himself the might of the Electromagnetic Gun. A single shot could cause him to explode.
With his attention on Yue Zhong, he lost concentration for a moment was slashed on the face by a low level Treant, a huge chunk of meat torn from his face.
The 4 high level Treants quickly surrounded him.
"Damn it!! Yue Zhong, I'll let you witness my true strength! As long as I escape from here, you and I will forever be enemies!! Berserker Transformation!!"
With a loud roar, a powerful blood-coloured Dou Qi surrounded Ao Dou, as his muscles became taut, and his veins threatened to pop. His eyes became bloodshot, and his entire being emitted a violent and oppressive aura. He had activated his strongest skill, Second Order Berserker Transformation.
Ao Dou was, after all a, peak expert, his natural awakened ability was the Second Order Berserker Transformation, furthermore he cultivated in the Battle Blood Dou Qi ability.
The moment he activated his Berserker Transformation together with his Battle Blood Dou Qi, his entire being would go through a scary change. Even a Type 2 Mutant Beast would explode from a single fist of his.
However, while the might of the skill was strong, its backlash was equally terrifying. Ao Dou's Endurance was not strong enough to withstand the backlash from the simultaneous usage of both skills. After the skills ended, he would always suffer from the pain, and he could not recover from the injuries for at least half a year.
Upon activating both the Berserker Transformation and Battle Blood Dou Qi, he instantly soared to possessing a 27-times speed, and made his way for the exit. The silver curved blade in his arms slashed out constantly, and the low level Treants around him were sliced to pieces before even getting close to him.
The moment he reached his peak combat ability, the low level Treants could not do anything to him. While the 4 high level Treants were terrifying, their speed could not compare to Ao Dou after utilizing his skills, and could only watch helplessly as Ao Dou continued to flee.
Just as he was about to escape successfully, a small odachi appeared out of nowhere, slashing down at Ao Dou's body.
"Who?!" Ao Dou roared out in anger, pushing the Battle Blood Dou Qi to its maximum, and twisted slightly while still fleeing.
The odachi that had a strange dark light trailing behind it also gently twisted, tearing into the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide on Ao Dou's body, and slashed out a large wound in his waist, causing him to bleed.
After successfully landing this hit, Tenpyo Saka, who was the assassin in the dark leaped gracefully, and disappeared into the darkness again.
"Fucking die!!" Ao Dou's eyes were bloodshot as he bore the pain and sent out a few blade beams in her direction.
Ao Dou was one of the top experts of the Manchu Empire, and after he gained the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide, no one could hurt him. However, he actually suffered a blow from Tenpyo Saka, even if he made it alive, with his current injuries, he would not recover properly within a year. This enraged him to no end.
Ao Dou's slashes carried with them terrifying force, empowered by the tyrannical Battle Blood Dou Qi, and they could even slash through Type 3 Mutant Beast hide. They were not something Tenpyo Saka could possibly withstand. He wanted to kill her instantly with this strike.
Suddenly, he felt an intense sensation of danger, and had to twist his body once more, as a bright light flashed and his right hand was blasted into pieces.
"Yue Zhong!! I'll remember this!!" Ao Dou roared out in pain, and didn't dare to chase after Tenpyo Saka, instead, turning around to flee, in a few seconds, he disappeared.
Yue Zhong saw how Ao Dou flee without carrying for the troop, and could not help but frown at his decisiveness, "This fellow is truly ruthless!! He could abandon all his subordinates!"
Outside the army camp, there were still a thousand soldiers of the allied forces. Ao Dou could actually bear to abandon them and flee on his own, it showed his callousness.
Bi Lǜ asked Yue Zhong, "What do we do with the people outside?"
Just like Hai Lan and Yin Shuang, Bi Lǜ had no particular attachment to human lives. As long as Yue Zhong gave the order, she would not hesitate to pass the order to eradicate the allied forces.
Yue Zhong pondered for a moment, before hugging Bi Lǜ close to him and leaped down the tree, "Follow me!"
Bi Lǜ settled in his embrace without a look of shyness on her. She was incredibly calm.
The moment Yue Zhong landed, all the low level Treants parted, forming a path for him.
The 6 high level Treants also stood by one side obediently.
Yue Zhong carried Bi Lǜ out the camp, only to come across the allied forces being forced back by the low level Treants. Many had been sliced apart by the treants, while many others were desperately fighting back.
Yue Zhong eyed the troops and ordered coldly, "I'm Yue Zhong! I'm now ordering you to throw down your weapons, and surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, you will all die here today!"
One of the commanders, Cheng Ye Shu, hollered, "Don't listen to his bullshit! Kill him! Everybody attack! As long as we kill him and that bitch, we can leave this godforsaken place!"
The remaining soldiers began to fire wildly at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong conjured up his Light Shield, blocking all the bullets, his face becoming dark, "Imbeciles! Don't leave a single one alive!"
"En!" Bi Lǜ nodded and pointed at the thousand soldiers.
Immediately, the 6 large Treants charged out from the camp, and headed for the thousand soldiers.
"Monster!!"
"There can be such strange monsters?"
"We're doomed!!"
When the thousand allied forces saw the powerful-looking Treants coming at them, their eyes flashed with despair.
Cheng Ye Shu's face was pale as he screamed out, "Attack! Shoot down those fuckers!! Hit their heads! That must be where the weak points are at!! Use the explosive rounds!!"
Under his orders, bullets began to rain upon the 6 high level Treants, although they only served to bounce off the bark. The explosive rounds managed to blast some of the bark away as well.
The 6 high level Treants were like invincible tanks that charged through and slapped everything around them. Causing the soldiers to die like flies.
The leader Cheng Ye Shu was slapped by one of the Treants, and he died instantly, without a chance to defend.
The 6 high level Treants soon demolished the defense line of the allied forces, and the low level Treants joined in the fray and chased after them, tearing their bodies apart.
"Ah!!"
"Don't kill me!!"
"I surrender!! Ah!!!"
The soldiers quickly dispersed in all directions, it was just that their speed could not match those little Treants, and were quickly devoured.
Yue Zhong watched the soldiers being slaughtered and could not be bothered to stay on as he told Bi Lǜ, "Take me to the mother tree's heart!"
"En!" Bi Lǜ immediately led Yue Zhong to the core of the tree.
She came to the tree and reached out to touch it. With a bright flash of green light, the bark split open.
There were numerous tendrils wrapped around a strange and beautiful jade-like object, which was radiating green light. It was truly an amazing sight.

Bi Lǜ wrapped her hands gingerly around the green heart core, and her hands emitted a light green radiance. The tendrils around the heart core began to retract, and the heart core fell into her hands.
She then brought it in front of Yue Zhong with a little reluctance, "This is the heart core! By placing it in the ground, and using a huge amount of biomatter as nourishment, it will quickly grow again. Zombies, humans and Mutant Beasts are all suitable nutrients."
Yue Zhong had maintained his caution and did not receive it, instead, looking at it contemplatively.
He then asked Bi Lǜ curiously, "How did you come about?"
It had been slightly over a year since the change of the world, and a miraculous being like Bi Lǜ could only appear after the apocalypse. In such a short time, she actually possessed such a frame, it was truly unbelievable.
She did not hide anything as she pointed to the large tree and replied, "I came out from here?"
He continued to ask, "Do you have any partner then, or others like you?"
Bi Lǜ was a rare intelligent biological life form, and she could control a small army of treants. If it wasn't for her naive heart and pure mind, unlike the crafty and wily humans, it would have been hard for Yue Zhong to subdue her.
Bi Lǜ's eyes flashed with a little hesitation, "There should be! Although I haven't seen them, I can faintly sense their presence."
When Yue Zhong heard this, his heart sank. The fact that even plants could produce such life forms was not good news for humanity.
The countless evolved zombies were already a huge threat to the human race. Adding to the emergence of the intelligent Sea Clan, as well as the intellectually advanced zombies, if the Mutant Plants were to give rise to another intelligent life forms, the Earth was definitely going to be more chaotic and treacherous.
Furthermore, the system had already given the notification, the 2nd stage would happen in 2 years time. Although Yue Zhong did not know what it entailed, it was definitely not good news for the human race.
He then continued asking, "How long can the treants last? What do they eat?"
The thousand low level Treants and the 6 high level Treants were a decent sized force, he did not want to waste them, and sought to look after them.
Bi Lǜ pondered before replying, "The low level Treants just need water and sunlight on normal soil. They can live for about 20 years or so. The same goes for the high level Treants, however, they can live for up to 80 years. The tree spirits like to consume flesh and blood, that way, they can continue to evolve. If the high level Treants want to evolve into the Tree Generals, they would need the help of the mother tree."
Yue Zhong was elated, in such a short time, he had gained an additional force of over a thousand powerful entities.
"Leader! Are these strange things under your control?" Bai Xiao Sheng had quickly led men to the army barracks, and looked at the treants with a look of shock and bewilderment.
The same went for those soldiers who had followed Bai Xiao Sheng. They could never have imagined for Yue Zhong to actually subdue so many strange and powerful-looking beings.
Yue Zhong replied, "En!" before ordering, "Go search the camp properly!"
"Yes! Leader! Brothers, come with me!!" Bai Xiao Sheng saluted Yue Zhong, before leading the soldiers towards the camp. To the soldiers, military equipment was always a source of excitement.
"An IFV!! The Type 92 version!!"
"Tanks!! Oh my goodness!! The 96 and 99!! THIS IS A FREAKING 99!!"
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?! Is that...a CAIC Z-10?! I've only ever seen one online! Awesome!!"
Very soon, cheers could be heard from within the camp. As the army barracks were filled with various powerful equipment, to Yue Zhong's forces, it was incredibly valuable.
After all, there weren't many places of cover out here in the Central Plains. 8 Thunder Fighters could easily kill off a force of 10,000 soldiers solely because they lacked anti-air defence as well as cover. If they could add in 20 tanks to the force, they could easily flatten an enemy with 3,000 riders.
While possessing enough military equipment did not mean invincibility, without them, it was definitely much tougher and a higher price would have to be paid.
The transportation of the military equipment out from the camp soon began, with the Treants acting as manual labour. Especially the larger Treants, it was easy for them to lift up a tank each, without spending much energy.
Yue Zhong watched the flow of work and felt satisfied. He had enough manpower, and this regiment's worth of equipment would definitely be put to good use.
Bai Xiao Sheng came up to Yue Zhong in excitement, "Leader! We discovered an entrance to an underground area."
"Oh! Take me there!!"
Yue Zhong followed Bai Xiao Sheng and his men as they came to an underground lab beneath a building. There was a huge electronic door, with an electronic lock that required a passcode, thumbprint, and an iris scan. It was incredibly advanced and secure.
Bai Xiao Sheng ordered a skinny and gangly Evolver, "Ah Tu, you're up!!"
Ah Tu chuckled and raised his hand to press the door, as a bright light flashed, and the electronic door immediately opened up.
There were many different abilities, and Ah Tu's happened to be the manipulation of electromagnetic force, allowing him to control such doors.
The moment the door was opened, a huge tunnel was revealed.
"Wait a moment!! Split up!" Yue Zhong barked, stopping Bai Xiao Sheng who was about to rush in. He then threw a wooden bench in.
Dang!
Immediately, countless panels slide open in the tunnel, revealing automatic machine guns that began to fire wildly.
A dense rain of bullets buffeted the area, leaving behind countless marks on the walls.
After firing for about 10 seconds, the guns immediately retracted back into their panels, leaving behind smoke and empty bullet shells.
Bai Xiao Sheng looked at the wall, his back full of cold sweat, "That was close!! Lucky for you, Leader, otherwise, I would most likely be dead! Those bastards truly set in some irritating mechanisms!"
If Bai Xiao Sheng had just rushed in, by now, he would have been turned into a sieve. While the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide might be able to block the bullets, the moment his head was hit by one, he would also die. In that narrow tunnel, there was no space to hide, even if he was fast, it would be useless.
Another soldier asked, "What do we do? Leader? Do we try and waste their bullets?"
There was definitely a limit to the ammunition, once they are spent, the automatic rifles would become useless.
Yue Zhong ordered, "No need. White Bones, go destroy the mechanism!"
White Bones' eyes flashed and it charged right through the tunnel.
The automatic rifles appeared once more, trained on White Bones as they began firing.
White Bones continued to charge ahead, not fearing the bullets in the slightest, destroying every single gun.
"Let's go!" After the gunshots came to a stop, Yue Zhong walked through the tunnel.
The rest of the soldiers also followed him.
Along the way, they saw the various traps and automatic rifles in various states of damage, every single mechanism had been easily destroyed by White Bones.
Although it was dark in the tunnel, it was not entirely claustrophobic. A line of lights hung overhead, lighting up the tunnel.
Bai Xiao Sheng and his men might be Evolvers, but not all of them had the ability to see in the dark. Only Tenpyo Saka and Yue Zhong had the ability.
Yue Zhong continued forwards, until he came to a huge underground city that spread out wide and far in front of him. There were bars, shops, supermarkets and lodgings.
"Halt!! Who are you people?" 4 soldiers suddenly rushed up, their guns pointed at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong glanced at them, and spoke warmly, "I'm Yue Zhong! I do not have any malicious intent, may I ask, what is this place?"
The 4 soldiers were incredibly cautious and barked loudly, "Put down your weapons! Hug your heads and get down, otherwise, we're going to fire!"
After all, Yue Zhong and his men all had assault rifles, with the system equipment covering them. They looked incredibly valiant and powerful, and thus, it was natural for the 4 men to be wary.
Yue Zhong frowned, and he looked out, only to see a number of sallow and emaciated survivors looking numbly over here. Some of them even had strange glints of greed in their eyes.
He then turned back to the soldiers and barked coldly, "Take them down!"
4 Evolvers shot out from behind Yue Zhong like specters and immediately grabbed hold of them. With a twist, they were forced to kneel in front of him.
One of them had a savage look as he roared, "You dare touch us? Are you sick of living?"
"Tie them up!" Yue Zhong pointed towards the 20 survivors in tattered clothes.

The Evolvers behind Yue Zhong immediately charged forth towards the survivors.
The survivors were all taken aback, and quickly dispersed, intending to flee. However, these were all weak and emaciated people, and could not possibly outrun the strong and vigorous experts. They were easily captured, and were soon brought in front of Yue Zhong,
Yue Zhong eyed the anxious survivors and took out a piece of dried biscuit, saying, "I would like to know what this place is. Whoever can tell me, this piece of biscuit is his."
Food was the strongest currency in this apocalypse, even more effective than gold from before the change.
The 20 survivors looked at the dried biscuit, their eyes flashing with greed, however, they seemed to be hesitant, as though unwilling to say anything.
One of the survivors finally could not take it anymore and shouted, "I'll speak!! I'll speak! This is the number XXX Biological Research Lab from before the apocalypse. We specialize in researching biological weapons. After the world changed, this place has become the personal kingdom of the head researcher Zhao Kuang. The majority of the personnel here are basically researchers and government officials. These are the dogs of Zhao Kuang."
Yue Zhong chuckled and threw the biscuit to the survivor, "This is yours!"
The survivor received it and quickly offered his thanks, "Thank you! Thank you!"
One of the soldiers held down by Bai Xiao Sheng suddenly screamed out, "Attack! Attack!!"
The soldier had the Sound Amplification ability, and his voice traveled throughout the city.
"Count yourself lucky!" Bai Xiao Sheng was furious, and glanced at Yue Zhong, only to see him shake his head. He then sent a punch behind the head of the soldiers, causing them to faint.
Hearing the alarms, a large number of soldiers began to hurry over, their weapons ready.
Bai Xiao Sheng also quickly deployed his subordinates to get in position, taking cover as they eyed the opposite side.
All of a sudden, a display lit up on one of the buildings, as an old man who was in clean, white clothes, looking about 50 and slightly less than desirable looks appeared. "How do you do! I'm the lord of this underground city, Zhao Kuang, I'm pleased to meet you. Welcome to my kingdom, I hope to speak to your leader."
Yue Zhong walked out from his cover and spoke without any arrogance nor subservience, "How do you do! I'm Yue Zhong!"
Zhao Kuang eyed him, and sighed, his face full of sincerity, "Yue Zhong, is it? You truly are a hero of your generation, to be able to lead men past the monstrosities above. Due to the presence of the man-eating things up there, our people had never been able to leave here. Since you're here today, it must mean that we have the chance to leave. This favour, we will never forget it."
Zhao Kuang then invited, "I would like to invite you to my castle to have a chat, is that alright? I will give you a proper welcome."
Yue Zhong pondered, and his eyes glinted, "Sure!"
Zhao Kuang had an amiable smile, "Ma Jing! Bring Yue Zhong and his men to my castle."
A burly soldier with coarse facial hair came up to Yue Zhong and said, "Please come with me!"
The rest of the soldiers also lowered their weapons, not showing any aggression anymore.
"Lead the way!"
Yue Zhong immediately followed Ma Jing without fear, walking towards a huge research center.
Yue Zhong came to a stop in front of the entrance, and he gave a command to Bai Xiao Sheng, "Get some men to stand guard!"
They did not know what was lying in wait for them in the research center, and although Yue Zhong was strong, he was always guarded, and did not want to give Zhao Kuang an opportunity to strike at him.
Bai Xiao Sheng nodded slightly and brought 30 Evolvers to stand guard at the entrance, "Ok! Leader, take care!"
Ma Jing had no expression as he looked at Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest, instead, he continued to lead Yue Zhong into the building.
The moment they entered the building, music began to play as they came to a large hall. Large chandeliers were twinkling, while 30 young men and women were dancing in a pool.
On a long table, there were many desserts and drinks, with food and vegetables displayed out.
With resources and food becoming scarce, such a lavish display was enough to drive many survivors crazy.
"How do you do! Leader Yue Zhong, I'm Liu Cheng!" The moment Yue Zhong stepped in, a middle-aged man in a suit and flat-top came up, greeting Yue Zhong with a smile.
Liu Cheng clapped his hands twice, and 12 extremely beautiful women came up from the pool.
He then revealed a strange smile, "Leader Yue Zhong, feel free to take your pick. If you like, you can even get all 12 to wait on you. They're the best amongst our beauties, and their nicknames are 12 Gold Hairpins."
The 12 beauties looked towards Yue Zhong seductively, each revealing their attractiveness and charm. If they could gain his favour, even if it was on orders of Zhao Kuang, there would definitely be benefits. If they could not, they would definitely be forced to starve for 2 or 3 days. They didn't want that to happen.
Yue Zhong swept them a look, before his gaze turned frosty, "Where's Zhao Kuang? Is this how he comes to talk to me?"
The 12 beauties were just average in Yue Zhong's eyes. He had killed women even more beautiful than these in front of him, and would naturally not fall for their obvious charms and tricks.
Liu Cheng smiled, "Leader Yue Zhong, our Emperor Zhao Kuang has given me the authority to talk with you beforehand. You may let me know what is on your mind, it's the same as talking with him."
He then chuckled, "Our Emperor Zhao Kuang is extremely grateful to you for taking care of those Mutant Plants above, allowing us to leave here. We're willing to present 30 beauties to you, and hope that we can become allies, taking over the world together!"
Yue Zhong chuckled coldly, "Rule the world together?! What a tone! I have over 3,000 elite troops, with a regiment's worth of equipment. What are your qualifications to talk about an alliance with me?"
An alliance would only occur between two factions with similar strength. If a faction could wipe out the other, who would form an alliance?
With Yue Zhong's current strength, it was natural that he would not hold these cowards in regard.
Liu Cheng summoned two soldiers, "Fine! Let us show you our strength! Zhang Yun, Wang Fan, come and exhibit your strength for Leader Yue Zhong to see!"
"Kong!!" A numb-looking Zhang Yun came up, and with a loud roar, his leg muscles became taut, and his veins bulged out. In a while, his legs doubled in size, and his veins on his face also became prominent. His entire demeanor became incredibly savage, as there was a single horn growing out of his head.
After Zhang Yun's legs became twice their size, he took a great leap, immediately jumping over a dozen meters, his speed terrifying.
Yue Zhong watched his speed, his eyes flashing with shock, "11 times Speed! Fast!!"
While it might not be much to Yue Zhong, it was a speed that already exceeded an S2, and most ordinary Enhancers of Level 30 might not even reach such a speed.
The people of this underground city were obviously trapped here, and there were not much opportunities for them to enhance, and yet, they had produced a number of Enhancers. It was obvious there was something else at play.
"Kong!" Wang Fan came forward, his expression wooden. His entire body became ripped, and the clothes he wore were torn apart. Soon, he became a burly and terrifying warrior covered with black fur all over.
Wang Fan slammed his fists down on the ground, and a crater was formed, with cracks and debris all over. It revealed the power behind his fists.
Liu Cheng smiled smugly, "We have over 300 of such super soldiers. How is it? Are we qualified to form an alliance?"
With the abilities of Zhang Yun and Wang Fan, over 300 of them were enough to wipe out a 3,000-strong force without any firepower. It was truly a strong force.
It was precisely because of this strength, that Zhao Kuang was so confident that Yue Zhong would form an alliance with him.
Yue Zhong's eyes brightened up, "I want the research materials on how to produce such super soldiers. As long as you provide it, I will consider an alliance with you."
"No way!!' Liu Cheng's face fell, and he laughed bitterly, "Leader Yue Zhong, this is highly classified information, it definitely cannot happen."
"When we come to rule the world, we can share some of the information with you."
Yue Zhong pondered and replied, "Let me consider it then."
Liu Cheng laughed and said, "Great! Please consider it!"
Yue Zhong stood up quietly and turned to walk out.
Just as he left the hall, he saw 2 soldiers outside chasing a young girl of about 15 or 16 with long black hair, fair skin, and bright, beautiful eyes.
"Save me!! Save me! Save me!!" The girl looked to Yue Zhong and screamed out in fear.

Chapter 638: Freak!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong glanced at the girl, and his eyes shined with a glint, "Bring that woman over here!"
Bai Xiao Sheng chuckled, and shot forwards, sending 2 fists towards the soldiers chasing behind, causing them to fly backward.
The extremely pretty girl ran to Yue Zhong and hugged his legs, pleading profusely, "Save me!! Save me, please!! I'm willing to do anything for you! Save me, please save me!!"
Yue Zhong glanced at this girl, whose face was full of fear, and smiled, "Interesting! I want this woman!"
Liu Cheng, who was still standing by the side, immediately cut in with a sullen expression, "Leader Yue Zhong! This woman is a criminal of our underground city, and had committed a grave sin! She has to die. We're willing to hand you 20 beautiful virgins, so please return her to us. If you insist on having her, it'll only drive a wedge between us."
The beautiful woman looked at Liu Cheng, and her face turned extremely pale, as she hurried to hug Yue Zhong's leg tighter, her body trembling, "Please! Please! I don't want to die!"
"I want this woman. Scram!" Yue Zhong felt something was off, and his brows arched, while he released his powerful killing intent.
Immediately, the elite soldiers beside him whisked out their weapons and aimed it at Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng's face turned ugly, as he retreated slightly while trying to coax Yue Zhong, "Leader Yue Zhong! We're willing to give all the information on the production of the super soldiers to you. As long as you give us that woman. How about that?"
Yue Zhong was instantly rocked in his heart, as he contemplated seriously. If he could gain the information on the super soldiers, then even ordinary humans had the chance to be enhanced without vying for resources with regards to zombies or Mutant Beasts. He could even make use of the research to enhance himself further.
Compared to the information, this one girl wasn't worth as much.
The young girl immediately shrieked out in panic, "Don't trust him! They're all freaks!! They aren't human! They're all monsters! They are being controlled by some monster!! Quick, escape!! Bring me with you! Please!! Otherwise, it'll be too late! Please take me out of here. I'll be willing to do anything! Quick, let's flee!!"
When Yue Zhong heard those words, he felt a chill overcome his heart, as a sense of foreboding arose. After the world had changed, there were all sorts of organisms all around, if there were even the existence of freaks that could control humans, that would be even more terrifying.
Yue Zhong turned to fix his gaze on Liu Cheng, his eyes suspicious.
Liu Cheng's face turned worse as he chuckled bitterly, "Leader Yue Zhong, don't listen to her! I'm a human, how could I be a monster? She's insane! She's definitely insane! Are you going to trust someone with an unsound mind?"
Yue Zhong patted the girl's head, and pointed at the 2 soldiers that were chasing her and ordered coldly, "Everyone is to prepare for battle! White Bones, go kill that person!"
White Bones immediately shot forwards, with its bone blades slashing down, cutting the soldier in half. Instantly, his brain was split into two, as white brain matter flowed out.
Yue Zhong stared fixedly at the 2 halves of the brain, only to discover a strange worm that was about the size of a palm, with layers of white skin and tentacles. It had been sliced in half, but it was still thrashing about in the juices, it looked utterly terrifying.
Yue Zhong sucked in a breath of cold air, his worst fears had come true. Such a strange worm could actually live in a person's brain, it was obvious that the person was long since under control.
Bai Xiao Sheng also felt a chill when he saw that worm struggling. Although they were elite soldiers that had gone through hundreds of battles, with nothing to fear even against zombies, such a scene was still mortifying to them.
Yue Zhong immediately ordered while still feeling chills down his spine, "Kill them all!!"
These people who had worms in their brains were no longer human. Yue Zhong did not want to leave such existences alive.
There was a flash from Bai Xiao Sheng's hands, and a blade shot towards Liu Cheng like a shooting star.
The ordinary-looking Liu Cheng who seemed scholarly and weak suddenly became enraged, with his eyes turning bloodshot, and his body expanding to twice its size. His clothes were torn, and veins bulged everywhere. His skin became a bright red, and he emitted a terrifying violent aura.
Facing that incoming blade, Liu Cheng just raised his massive right arm to block in front of him.
The blade could not penetrate through the right arm, it just pierced the skin about 2 cm deep, and it got stuck. However, even then, there was not a drop of blood that was spilled.
Bai Xiao Sheng's eyes were filled with shock, and he immediately activated his ability, pushing his speed to the limit, and transformed into a specter as he slashed out at Liu Cheng. Instantly, there were 6 new wounds on Liu Cheng's body.
Liu Cheng unleashed an inhuman roar towards the skies.
With that loud howl, it seemed that every single male and female inside the large hall began to shine with a bright red glow, and their bodies all started to transform. Some grew feelers like cockroaches while others had front limbs like that of a praying mantis. There were some who had powerful hind legs like kangaroos, and others had feelers like ants. They all had the same characteristics though, which were the bright red eyes, and their bodies seemed to expand with powerful veins bulging out.
They charged forwards, rushing towards Yue Zhong and his party.
The girl screamed when she saw them, "Careful! Don't get caught by them! Otherwise, they will implant you with a worm as well, and you'll become just like them!"
Yue Zhong pulled out his Black Tooth Blade, and with a single slash, 3 of the transformed people instantly became sliced corpses.
From the heads of those killed by Yue Zhong, 3 fat and strange worms appeared, which quickly slithered towards Yue Zhong. Their speed was 7 times as fast as a person, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to escape from them.
Yue Zhong saw them and his blade danced again, chopping them up.
One soldier slashed at one of the transformed woman, who suddenly opened her mouth wide, and a fat worm flew out, landing on the face of the soldier.
The fat and white worm swiftly wriggled its body and squirmed through the soldier's nose.
When the soldier saw this horrifying scene, he immediately screamed out in terror, "Ah!! Save me!! Save me!!"
One other soldier heard his cry and kicked the transformed woman he was entangled with. He rushed forward anxiously and asked, "Ah Ming! What's wrong!!"
The soldier Ah Ming suddenly stopped thrashing, his face turned into an evil mask, and with a sudden bloating of his arm, the Tang Replica Sword swung towards his concerned friend.
Caught unprepared and with his guard down, the anxious soldier's head was lopped off cleanly by his old comrade.
After Ah Ming slaughtered his friend, his eyes also turned red, and his body started to expand with his veins bulging. With an angry roar, he suddenly burst forth with a speed that was way beyond his original 8-times Agility, slashing at his other comrades.
The comrade hurried to defend himself while roaring in shock, "Ah Ming! Have you gone mad?!"
Dang!
As the blades clashed with each other, the defending soldier was kicked violently by the mind-controlled Ah Ming, and he slammed into a wall. He spat out a large amount of blood, his internal organs exploding from the impact, and he died instantly.
Ah Ming already possessed 15 times Strength of a normal person, after the transformation, he could unleash 27 times Strength. This was a level that could only be reached by a high-level Strength-based Evolver with powerful equipment.
After being controlled, Ah Ming's entire stature became terrifying, and he became much stronger.
"Lei Ming had been controlled! Bai Xiao Sheng, go take everyone and get out of here! Take care not to let any of those freaks near you, I'll cover you guys!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly and he barked out.
There were multiple transformed humans that poured out from every part of the underground city, each of them charging over with bloodshot eyes.
Yue Zhong had brought along elite soldiers, and it would not be an issue to slaughter all these transformed people. However, he did not know exactly how many such freaks there were, and he was focused only on getting out, otherwise, all his elite soldiers would perish.
"Go!" Bai Xiao Sheng did not bother with any unnecessary pleasantries, and threw Liu Cheng aside, as he led the rest of the Evolvers to kill their way out.
One of them had the ability to manipulate winds, and his pupils narrowed, as a terrifying hurricane appeared, blowing the transformed humans out of Bai Xiao Sheng's path. Those who weren't blown away were instantly pounced upon by the rest and they utilized all their abilities to kill those freaks instantly.
