Chapter 671: Yin Shan Mountain Range!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After eradicating the troops of Outer Mongolia, Yue Zhong had gained a huge amount of resources. He made use of them to launch an assault in the direction of Hu He City.
The big-head Mutant zombie did not continue to harass Yue Zhong, instead, it summoned the zombies from Hu He City and made their way further northeast.
After collecting the 3 million zombies from Hu He City, the entire horde swelled to a size of over 4 million again.
Yue Zhong watched the horde advance towards the northeast, and although he was extremely worried in his heart, there was nothing he could do to impede them.
Yue Zhong had somewhat guessed that the commander behind this horde wanted to amass as many zombies as it could, before seeking him again. If the numbers were to exceed 10 million, then it would truly be a nightmare for humanity. This was what Yue Zhong was most afraid of.
There were over ten billion zombies in China, if they were to gather, just one billion of them could overrun Yue Zhong and his bases.
The zombies continued north, allowing Yue Zhong to swiftly recover the cities, and rescue the emaciated survivors from various corners.
Many survivors were assigned to work in the different factories.
As the numbers of survivors swelled, other than the military factories, the rest of the steel, coal and clothing factories began to operate again.
The entire Central Plains soon regained some semblance of society, as well as prosperity.
The Yin Shan Mountain Range seemed endless, and after the apocalypse, countless mutant plants had overrun the entire place, while Mutant Beasts had herded together. It was not a place that humans could survive in.
One particular bespectacled male, who was haggard and only dressed in a simple turf-woven fabric, his skin tanned, was currently searching for food carefully on the ground. His name was Lei Yun.
He was a botanical expert before the apocalypse, and when the apocalypse happened, he had followed a number of survivors as they fled into the mountain range.
At the start, the city was filled with zombies and Mutant Beasts. It was easier to survive in the Yin Shan Mountain Range then.
However, the mountain range started to evolve as well, with countless plants transforming into man-eating plants. What was once edible disappeared, and animals also started to mutate and hunt the humans. What was the scariest was that some people gathered together to lord over the rest. The lives of the ordinary people became extremely tough. Lei Yun was one of the survivors that escaped from the cruel factions within the mountain range.
His eyes suddenly brightened, as he crawled on the floor and dug the ground with his callus-filled hands, obtaining a stalk of edible wild grass.
After digging out that wild grass, Lei Yun continued to look around for food.
Although there was plenty of vegetation that can be seen on the Yin Shan Mountain Range, most of them were inedible. Lei Yun saw some people bursting apart, with vines growing out from within. On top of that, there were some who even spat out blood, before turning into corpses.
Lei Yun was also relying on his prior knowledge of botany to find some wild grass that could be eaten. As to those he didn't recognize, he didn't dare consume.
As he bent down, there was the sound of rustling in the tall grass nearby. He went rigid, only to discover 5 militants dressed in grey clothes, with blades and shields on their backs appearing in front of him.
"There's somebody! Not bad! Looks like our group is pretty lucky!" One of the men had scars on his face and as he laughed, his expression looked savage.
Lei Yun's face flashed with despair, and he threw the wild grass in his hand, turning around to run.
In the Yin Shan Mountain Range, the humans were scarier than Mutant Beasts. They would capture ordinary people to be slaves after they were utilized, they would consume these slaves like wild beasts.
There were Mutant Beasts and wild vegetables that were not existences normal humans could deal with, at the same time, edible vegetation was rare. In comparison, humans were the weakest link, and also a form of food.
The man with scars was instantly enraged and he charged right after Lei Yun, "Damn it, you dare run after seeing this senior, are you tired of living!!"
Lei Yun had starved constantly, and his body was malnourished. There was no way he could handle the man with scars. In just a few steps, he was grabbed by the man, who pushed him down onto the ground.
Lei Yun immediately yelped in terror, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I know which wild vegetation can be eaten, please spare my life!! I can help you look for food!"
The leader, who was a burly man with deep-set eyes, spoke solemnly, "Tiger, don't use too much force. If you kill him accidentally, we won't even get our merit points."
Tiger immediately let Lei Yun go, but not before staring at him, "Got it! Kid, don't run! We don't even want your wild vegetables! If you dare run again, even if this senior was to be reprimanded by the higher-ups, I will still hack you!"
The man with deep-set eyes asked Lei Yun coldly, "Kid, what's your name?"
Lei Yun trembled a little as he looked at them and replied carefully, "I'm called Lei Yun, I was a botanist before the Apocalypse. I can recognize many Mutant Plants, and find at least 5 types of edible plants."
Xu Wei pulled out a chocolate bar from his clothes and handed it to Lei Yun, "I'm Xu Wei, the captain of the Scum Battalion, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Company, 3rd Platoon, 1st Squad. We're here on orders to look for survivors in the mountain range. Lei Yun, do you know if there're any other survivors out here?"
Tiger's face turned black, "Captain! Can we not report our full names? The title of the Scum Battalion is too humiliating."
The rest of the armed men chuckled bitterly.
Xu Wei's face was indifferent, "It's a fact. Those who are in the Scum Battalion, which of us are not scum? If you want to get rid of such a label, other than working hard to gain merit, there's no other way."
Lei Yun received the chocolate bar with care, his eyes turning moist. These chocolate bars were something he would not even eat before the apocalypse. Now, any single one could get him a night with a woman.
Lei Yun suppressed the urge to swallow the entire thing together with the wrapping, as he assessed the 5 men in front of him, "I know the situation of a faction that's about a 100 li from here."
Lei Yun pointed to a small hill, saying, "Atop that hill, there's a faction calling themselves the Tiger Head Clan. There's a leader, 5 fighters, and 13 women. The leader is called Nangong Tian Feng, and his weapon is a thick blade. The 5 fighters all use wooden bats."
Inside the Yin Shan Mountain Range, it was already something for these small factions to possess a melee weapon. After all, they had mostly brought along worthless currency at the time of their escape.
Hearing this, one of the soldiers became excited, "Captain! 19 survivors, this time we can gain 95 merit points. Adding to our past efforts, if we save a few more, we can finally gain freedom from the Scum Battalion!! Let's go all out!!"
Searching for survivors in the mountain range was a dangerous job. The task was delegated to these scums. For every survivor found, the party would earn 5 merit points, equivalent to killing 5 zombies. Ordinary scums would need 40 merit points to regain their freedom as citizens. Thus, these soldiers were extremely excited.
Yue Zhong wasn't worried that these soldiers would run. After all, in the Yin Shan Mountain Range, danger was everywhere, if they tried to flee, with their ordinary strength, they would just become meals for the Mutant Beasts or nutrients for the Mutant Plants.
Although the training was tough for the Scum Battalion, they still suffered casualties on missions like this. In certain situations, they even had to become cannon fodder. Those who went against orders would be directly executed. They could eat their fill, and from time to time, there was meat. At the same time, when cleaning up zombies in cities, they would scavenge for resources and get to keep some for themselves. Compared to the wild, it was a lot better than in the Scum Battalion.
At the same time, if any of those who fled from the Scum Battalion were caught, they were instantly executed or sent to become research subjects. These people were thus afraid of Yue Zhong.
Xu Wei frowned and asked, "Are there any Enhancers up there?"
Lei Yun eyed the weapons on their backs with envy, "No! Nangong Tian Feng used to be some small-time hoodlum and learned some martial arts. He shouldn't be an issue for you guys."
A ferocious glint appeared in Xu Wei's eyes, "Good!! Brothers! Let's go!"
The Tiger Head Clan turned out to be some mountain cave, and there was only one man who was wielding a wooden bat, patrolling outside with obvious boredom, from time to time, looking into the cave.
Inside the cave, there were the sounds of moaning.
"Do it!" Xu Wei came up carefully and shot towards the man with the wooden bat.
When the man saw Xu Wei with his huge blade, he immediately turned pale and kneeled, "Spare me, Lord!! Spare me, Lord!! I surrender!!"
"That easy?" The rest of the men were speechless upon seeing this scene.

Xu Wei barked coldly and charged into the cave, "Continue!"
3 of the soldiers followed Xu Wei and charged into the cave.
They discovered 4 naked men tangled with 11 women, while 2 other younger girls were crouching at a corner. There was a stench in the cave.
One of the males immediately stood up upon seeing Xu Wei and his men, grabbing the blade beside him as he stared at them, "Who are you people?"
Xu Wei looked at Nangong Tian Feng coldly, "You're Nangong Tian Feng? I'm Xu Wei from the Scum Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Company, 3rd Platoon under the command of Leader Yue Zhong. We've been tasked to search for survivors in this mountain range. It's not too late if you surrender now, otherwise, only death awaits."
Nangong Tian Feng looked at the strong and burly men, and let out a long sigh. He threw the blade in his hands away, "I surrender."
Tiger looked at all the naked women, as a lustful look appeared on his face, "Captain, I've not touched a woman in a month. There're over 10 here. Shall we take our time to enjoy them?"
The rest of the squad also stared stupidly at the women. They were all criminals of some sorts, that was why they were banished to the Scum Battalion. Not a single one of them did not enjoy women. Being cooped up in the Scum Battalion for so long, they were close to losing control.
Xu Wei laughed coldly, "If you want to toy with them, by all means. Let me remind you though, playing around with a woman while on mission, you'll have to kill another 60 zombies or gain 60 merit points. These 11 are free for you guys to fuck around with, but if you touch those 2 girls! I will kill you! I'd rather not have you guys drag me down. I still want to enter the Tiger Wolf Army."
Hearing Xu Wei's words, the rest of the squad immediately sobered up. It wasn't easy to earn those merit points. 60 points were enough for them to get out of the Scum Battalion, and with some excess cash to boot.
10 merit points were enough to exchange for 50 dollars of the new currency. Outside, 50 dollars was enough to get a woman for a night. 50 dollars could get them a fresh and clean woman who was considerably prettier than the women in front of them. They would be able to enjoy themselves for an entire night without worrying about anything else.
The women in the cave were dirty and smelly and had traces of whatever the other men left on them. The squad immediately felt that it wasn't worth it.
As for the 2 lolis, there was an order in the Scum Battalion, should there be any case of rape of underage children, the perpetrator would be caught and executed. The entire unit would be equally liable as well.
The Tiger Wolf Army was a unit newly set up by Yue Zhong, with plenty of Enhancers that managed to leave the Scum Battalion. They had all undergone tough training and killed many zombies. Their resolves and mental fortitude were on another level. At the same time, they were conditioned to listen to orders, and they were the best soldiers.
Many of those who earned enough merits and felt that they could not reenter society would aim to enter the Tiger Wolf Army. As a member of such an elite unit, they would regain their pride, position, and strength.
Bai Xiao Sheng was the current commander of the Tiger Wolf Army, leading them to use system equipment to continuously enhance and evolve themselves. It was a unit that was made up entirely of Enhancers, and every single soldier inside was a tough elite.
Tiger considered the matter from all perspectives and felt that giving into his lust wasn't worth it, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes, "Forget it!!"
Nangong Tian Feng looked at them and spoke carefully, "Sirs, you're here to search for survivors right? I am familiar with the area, I know where there are survivors!!"
Xu Wei and the rest were all strong and well-equipped, their faces ruddy. It was easy to see that they were well-fed.
Nangong Tian Feng might claim to be a leader of this cave, he had to starve frequently. Not to mention his subordinates, most of them were barely skin and bones. That was why the moment Xu Wei and the rest appeared, they instantly surrendered. They were simply not in a position to resist.
Xu Wei's brows arched slightly, as he threw a chocolate bar to Nangong Tian Feng, "Oh! That's great, this is your reward!"
Nangong Tian Feng's eyes flashed with delight the moment he received the chocolate bar, and nodded profusely to express his thanks, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
The rest of the survivors within that cave looked on with envy and hope. They had not eaten anything sweet in a long while. This simple chocolate bar was even more appealing than lobsters and luxury food.
Nangong Tian Feng walked out the cave and pointed to a direction, "Sir, after you cross this hill, in about 1 km, there's a camp, with over 300 survivors. Their leader is a pretty strong Evolver."
Nangong Tian Feng looked towards Xu Wei after he finished. Evolvers were a terrifying existence, and they had incredible abilities. Even special forces from before the apocalypse weren't a match for them. To him, this squad of 5 were not a match for that Evolver.
When Xu Wei heard those words, he frowned, "Evolver? Seems like this is beyond us! I need to notify the Tiger Wolf Army and request for reinforcements!"
Xu Wei pulled out a walkie-talkie and reported, "Hey! It's me, Xu Wei! My squad has discovered a large survivor base, there should be about 300 people inside, and there's an Evolver. Requesting backup from the Tiger Wolf Army!"
"300!! Damn! Well done! Xu Wei, you guys have contributed greatly!! Stay where you are, I'll immediately get the guys from the Tiger Wolf Army to head over." From the other end, an excited voice sounded.
Soon, a unit of about 50 people with helmets, camouflage uniforms, and assault rifles arrived in front of Xu Wei and the rest.
"Strong!! This unit is strong!! They have so many guns!!" Nangong Tian Feng looked at the 50 soldiers and his eyes flashed with shock.
Within the mountain range, as long as someone had weapons, they could establish a small force. 50 gun-toting militants were enough to eradicate and crush many other factions within the mountain range.
The leader of this unit, Liu Niu slapped Xu Wei on his shoulders and exclaimed, "Well done, Xu Wei! As long as we can rescue those 300 survivors, you'll definitely be able to enter the Tiger Wolf Army!"
Xu Wei's eyes flashed with a resolute light as he responded, "Yes! This battle, your subordinate Xu Wei hopes to follow commander in, and pleads commander to grant this request!"
Liu Niu eyed Xu Wei and chuckled, "Fine!! Follow us then, we'll show you the strength of the Tiger Wolf Army!"
Led by Nangong Tian Feng and Lei Yun, Liu Niu brought his 50 subordinates and arrived silently on the opposite hill.
They discovered that the peak was surrounded by a wooden fence, with 4 sentry posts, with 2 soldiers at each post. There were also 8 soldiers at the main entrance, and within the camp, there were many simple wooden houses.
Liu Niu brought 8 soldiers and walked out from the grass, firing his gun at the sky as he hollered, "The people inside listen up! Throw down your weapons and kneel to surrender, otherwise, everyone will die!"
The moment the gunshots rang out, the soldiers turned pale and ran into the camp.
"A bunch of fools! Open fire!" Liu Niu's eyes flashed with unhappiness as he raised their weapons and fired at the fleeing soldiers.
Following the dense gunfire, of the 8 fleeing soldiers, 6 fell to the ground, while the remaining 2 got down on the ground and trembled uncontrollably.
The intense gunfire alerted the leader within the camp, and a skinny Evolver, Shen Tu Yi led 30 subordinates and rushed out the camp.
Shen Tu looked at Liu Niu and his party, his face full of shock and anger, "This brother, I'm Shen Tu Yi, the chief of this Tian Yang Camp, we have no enmity between us, why did you kill my men?"
Liu Niu stared at Shen Tu Yi, barking, "I'm Liu Niu, the Commander of the Tiger Wolf Army 2nd Battalion 3rd Company, 1st Platoon. We're under the command of Leader Yue Zhong, here to extract your people. Shen Tu Yi, you can surrender now, and we can let you live, or, choose to resist and die. You only have 3 seconds to consider. 3...2…"
A ferocious glint appeared in Shen Tu Yi's eyes as he roared, "Brothers! Prepare for battle!"
Shen Tu Yi was happy with his life as the ruler of his small camp and wasn't willing to submit to anyone else, nor give up his authority.
Peng!
Right after Shen Yu Yi had shouted, 4 sniper bullets fired out. 1 pierced the head of Shen Tu Yi. Although he was a Strength-based Evolver, he could not withstand a single shot from a sniper.
"Those who resist will die! Everyone get down! Otherwise, we'll kill without mercy!" Liu Niu roared out as he pointed his gun at the subordinates of Shen Tu Yi.
Another 10 fully armed soldiers walked out from the forest behind, their guns trained on the men of Shen Tu Yi.
The men from the camp were all afraid, as they threw their guns down and kneeled to surrender.
The entire camp was thus easily conquered by the Tiger Wolf Army.
"Powerful!" Nangong Tian Feng watched how Liu Niu easily smashed the resistance of Shen Tu Yi, and he was filled with even more fear and awe towards them, even more so, the mysterious Leader Yue Zhong behind them.
After they took down this camp, with Nangong Tian Feng's help, the Tiger Wolf Army continued to bash a few more camps around the area and rescued a total of 2,000 survivors.

Chapter 673: 8-Leaf Blue Plant!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
There were numerous survivors in tattered clothes scattered throughout the Yin Shan Mountain range. Currently, the riders of the 2nd Brigade, the new 4th Brigade of the Tiger Wolf Army, as well as the soldiers of the Scum Battalion 3rd Battalion were all keeping their eyes on the survivors.
Many of the factions regardless of size were easily breached by the soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army, and the leaders either submitted or were killed instantly.
The frail and weak survivors were all squatting on the ground, carefully sipping their hot porridge. There was a look of satisfaction on their face.
The hundreds of soldiers from the Scum Battalion were holding whips as they eyed the survivors. The moment any of them tried to use snatch the food of any others, they would face the wrath of the soldiers, suffering a number of whips before being to the backend support of the Scum Battalion.
Within the mountain range, many small factions had appeared due to the small time tyrants, and countless depraved deeds had been carried out. For those who had engaged in crimes too heinous, they were instantly decapitated. Those who committed severe crimes were sent to the Scum Battalion, to be reformed and trained, before becoming soldiers.
A Hummer rolled over from the distance, entering the mountain range. The moment the doors appeared, Yue Zhong, Yin Shuang, Ji Qing Wu and a few others came out.
Lie Ming Yi came forward to salute them, "Leader!"
"Leader!" One by one, the rest of the commanders also came behind Lie Ming Yi and saluted Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong waved his hands and dismissed them, "Go do your things, don't bother about me!"
"Yes!" Most of these commanders were all soldiers that were deployed over from Guang Xi and Hunan and knew Yue Zhong's character. They left one by one, with only Lie Ming Yi remaining behind.
Under Lie Ming Yi's lead, Yue Zhong came to Lei Yun, and asked, "The report about a missile base in this mountain range, is it true?"
A missile base was a top secret in the country, and it was the first time Yue Zhong had heard about something like this.
If he could gain control over this base, he would gain a terrifying trump card against his enemies.
Lei Yun looked at Yue Zhong with a little fear, "It's true! I stayed near the base for a period of time once. At the start of the apocalypse, I came across the base together with a few officials. However, the base only allowed the officials in, not us ordinary people. I've remembered the location though."
In Lei Yun's eyes, this is the leader of the mighty troops. He was extremely clear on the frightening might these people possessed, and anyone who was suspicious was dragged out to be executed. They didn't look like some motley bunch, and he wasn't willing to antagonize the leader of these powerful soldiers.
Yue Zhong was satisfied, "Good! You're Lei Yun right. As long as the information is real, I will award you with a thousand dollars."
Lie Ming Yi smiled at Lei Yun, saying, "A thousand dollars can buy you a 1,000 jin worth of rice. You're truly lucky!"
Lei Yun immediately expressed his thanks profusely, "Thank you, Leader!! Thank you, Leader!!"
Those who did not starve would not truly understand the value of a thousand jin of rice. With it, Lei Yun could eat his fill for an entire year.
Lei Yun spoke, "Leader! I have an additional piece of information!"
Yue Zhong's eyes were filled with curiosity, "Oh? What is it?"
Lei Yun pulled out a few items, a piece of debris that was the size of 2 fingers as well as a blue plant that had sprouted 8 leaves, handing them to Yue Zhong, "Leader, this is a Mutant Plant that I discovered, the flowers can secrete a strange liquid that is incredibly hard after drying. Based on my conjecture, the hardness of the dried up liquid is even harder than metal, and can be applied over armor."
Yue Zhong took the items and used his strength to pinch. His Strength of 12 times a normal person exploded out, which could twist even a steel bar, but the hardened debris was fine.
His eyes brightened, and he threw the item on the ground, pulling out his Level 5 Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade and slashed the debris.
The blade landed, but the debris was still undamaged.
Yue Zhong picked it up again, and to his surprise, his blade that could slash apart the hull of armored vehicles could not even leave a mark on the debris. It was obvious that the hardness of this liquid was many times tougher than metal.
Yue Zhong turned to fix his gaze on Lei Yun, "Do you know if there are more of this Mutant Plant?"
Lei Yun pulled out 5 blue seeds, "I know!! I even collected a few seeds. Before the apocalypse, I was a botanist."
Yue Zhong looked at Lei Yun and his eyes flashed with a look of appreciation, "Good! Lei Yun, I now appoint you the head researcher over the Central Plains Mutant Research Institute, your responsibility is to conduct research on the various Mutant Plants of Yin Shan Mountain Range. Your rank is Captain, and your first task is to collect more of this 8-leaf Blue Plant."
Lei Yun thanked Yue Zhong excitedly, "Yes!! Thank you, Leader!! Thank you, Leader!!"
Lei Yun knew that once he entered Yue Zhong's group of personnel and become an officer, as long as Yue Zhong did not fall, he would not have to worry about his future.
Yue Zhong turned solemn, "Lie Ming Yi, send an experienced soldier to protect Lei Yun. The matter of this 8-leaf Blue Plant is top secret, do not let anyone else know about it."
The secretion of this plant could harden to become a material even tougher than metal, yet so much lighter than it. It had a wide variety of usage, it could be made into Defence Vests, airplanes, tanks, and much more. If it had landed in the hands of any faction before the apocalypse, it would have become a precious resource. If it were in the hands of any ordinary person, it would be useless, but in Yue Zhong's hands, with his many facilities, it could be exploited fully, just like that laser gun and the Sky Fortress design.
Lie Ming Yi immediately replied, "Yes! Leader!"
Yue Zhong then replied, "Before that, Lei Yun, take us to the missile base!"
"Yes!" Lei Yun replied respectfully.
Under Lei Yun's guidance, Yue Zhong deployed a battalion of Tiger Wolf Army soldiers and headed up
"It's right there!!" From afar, Lei Yun pointed towards a tall mountain.
Yue Zhong looked towards the direction, noticing a long road extending all the way up the mountain. It was obvious that this road was the only road to the missile base.
Yue Zhong and his troops followed the road all the way, eradicating about 20,000 soldiers, and came to a large iron door.
Outside the door, there were 4 security cameras, sweeping across his party.
Yue Zhong came to the gate and his voice rang out, "My name is Yue Zhong, I hope to talk to your Leader!
Behind this door was one of China's missile base, and there were all sorts of missiles and rockets inside. Although Yue Zhong had the confidence to blow down the door, he didn't want to take the risk.
Right now, within the compound, inside the command center, 20 men in uniform were arguing.
One of the officers looked at the display, his face scowling, "This bunch of militants actually dare to set their sights on the country's property, what galls!"
To many of these old-timers, they weren't willing to let the weapons of the country fall into the hands of private individuals. Yue Zhong and his people were obviously not here in any official capacity.
Hearing the words of the officer, the rest of the military men exchanged glances, before a young officer spoke up, "Colonel, I think that we should talk to them."
THe colonel turned and rebuked, "Nangong Yan, what are you thinking of? What is there to discuss with these bastards? Don't tell me that you want to betray our country and our citizens?"
Nangong Yan stared right back at him and retorted, "Colonel!! It has already been a year since we last heard from the central government! What does this mean? The central government has already most likely fallen. If we continue like this, we will only starve here. We should go out and interact with them, and find out who they are! If they're reliable, I feel that we should the base over.
The colonel was utterly enraged by Nangong Yan's words, and he pulled out the gun at his waist, his body trembling as he roared, "You! I will execute you, traitor!!"
Nangong Yan closed his eyes and said softly, "By all means! Colonel! Holing ourselves up here is no solution. There's no entertainment, nor hope. I'm going insane! If you want to kill me, do it, please. I hope that you can retain some consideration for the rest of the people.
After the world changed, many people had holed up within this missile base. Many could not take the life anymore and they committed suicide. Even within the military, many killed them. The rest who remained were slowly losing their rationality.
The Colonel looked at Nangong Yan and the rest, "What are you doing?! You want to surrender to those people?!"
"I want to live on!"
"I want to eat my fill!!"
"I want to see the sunlight!"
After a moment's hesitation, most of the military men stood up one by one.

Chapter 674: Obtaining the Nuclear Bombs!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Colonel looked at his subordinates with a flash of hurt in his eyes. He sighed, and turned the gun to his own temple, closing his eyes and pulling the trigger.
Peng!
Following the gunshot, the Colonel slumped to the ground slowly. He wasn't willing to betray his own principles and hand this base to Yue Zhong. However, he could not bring himself to kill his subordinates. Furthermore, he had already lost his loved ones to the zombies, there was nothing holding him back. Thus, he committed suicide.
"Colonel!!"
"Colonel!!"
Seeing that the Colonel had committed suicide, the soldiers under him could not help but shed tears. This superior of theirs had treated them well and fairly through the years, and they were upset that he had chosen to die.
"Colonel, we're sorry!" Nangong Yang came up to the body and saluted, before going to the monitors and spoke into the mic, "I'm the one in charge of this nuclear base, Nangong Yan. Who are you people?"
Yue Zhong replied, "I'm the leader of the Central Plains, with over a million people under me. I hope to receive this nuclear base peacefully. As long as you hand the base to me, whatever requests you may have, I can grant them if they're not too overboard."
When negotiating, both sides had to display their might. Without it, who would be willing to yield? With a million survivors under him, he had the qualifications to persuade the soldiers to submit to him.
After being silent for a while, Nangong Yan asked, "What's the situation with the Central Government?"
Yue Zhong replied, "THe capital had already fallen, and it is a land of zombies now."
If the capital hadn't collapsed, and the government had not crumbled, the situation wouldn't have been so bad. In fact, in the first half of the year during the apocalypse, many places were still waiting resolutely for the orders from the government. However, with the flow of time, since there was no communication, the various leaders started to get their own ideas.
Even after a year, there were still many loyal old guards who were still believing in the government, unwilling to hand the state's resources to private mercenaries like Yue Zhong.
Nangong Yan contemplated for a moment, before replying, "I need you to promise our safety. Furthermore, I hope you'll allow all of us here to remain as a troop. If within a year, we find that it's hard to integrate with your troops, we hope that you'll allow us to leave with a certain amount of rations then."
Yue Zhong thought for a while, "I promise you! However, I need you to teach my troops how to use the equipment here!"
Nangong Yan heaved a sigh of relief, "Ok!!"
Both sides came to an agreement, and the huge iron gate was finally opened. A number of survivors in tattered clothes, as well as a putrid stench, came out.
There were over 200 survivors inside the base, with 60 soldiers, the rest of them were their families and other high-ranking officials.
Nangong Yan came up to Yue Zhong and saluted, "Nangong Yan greets Leader!"
Yue Zhong did not stand on ceremony, and immediately ordered, "Give me a detailed report on the situation inside!"
"Understood! Currently, there…" Nangong Yan immediately reported everything he knew to Yue Zhong.
Inside the base, there were at least 15 intercontinental missiles armed with nuclear warheads within the base, instantly giving Yue Zhong a terrifying trump card.
When Yue Zhong heard this, he was instantly overjoyed but managed to calm himself down.
It was something he could only use as a last resort when things seemed bleak. Otherwise, he wouldn't even consider it against the zombies.
The moment those missiles were launched, the earth would be plunged into a radioactive environment. He would have to worry about the possibility of the zombies and Mutant Beasts further evolving.
However, with them, he at least had a trump card. Should there be anyone who dared to threaten him with missiles, he would be able to retort.
After obtaining this base, Yue Zhong quickly assigned his most loyal subordinates over and began the training under Nangong Yang.
Having made his preparations, Yue Zhong went back to Hohhot City.
Lei Yun had obtained a large number of the 8-Leaf Blue Flowers with Lie Ming Yi's help, and after returning to Hohhot City, they established a research center to began research into the Mutant Flora.
At the same time, Li Guang and Hu-er Ran led 2 troops to continue pushing towards the east, annihilating many zombies, and recovering countless cities and towns.
The main bulk of the zombies had already been collected by that mutant zombie, leaving behind very few that could not withstand the assault of the 2 well-equipped forces.
As the rate of reclaiming cities grew, more facilities and some military bases were discovered, and the resources were distributed to the 1st Regiment, 2nd Brigade, and the 4th Brigade.
Hu-er Ran's 3rd Brigade was armed with plenty of firearms, and the amount was just sufficient. As for tanks, armored vehicles, unmanned drones, IFVs, and assault helicopters, they weren't provided any yet.
However, even without all those, the 3rd Brigade was still able to make use of their tools and wits to wipe out small zombie hordes. At the same time, Hu-er Ran made use of his system equipment to train up a decent number of Enhancers.
On this day, Hu-er Ran was leading 3,000 riders into a county to lure out the zombies. They prepared some traps and managed to lure the zombies into the traps, before killing them.
Hu-er Ran watched his troops struggling to perform the old-fashioned way, his heart feeling slightly sour, "Our equipment is still lacking. Compared to the 1st Regiment and 2nd Brigade, there's no way to compare."
The 3rd Brigade had the lousiest equipment, and while everyone had a gun, they were all old antiques. They couldn't even compare to their melee weapons. As to the melee weapons, Yue Zhong was generous, whatever the 3rd Brigade needed, the factories would churn them out and deliver to the 3rd Brigade.
Hu-er Ran was clear that the 3rd Brigade was no match for the 1st Regiment, 2nd Brigade and 4th Brigade in terms of weapons. If they were to revolt, even the 4th Regiment that was comprised of ex-Scum Battalion members would be able to take them down easily.
Right as Hu-er Ran was thinking to himself, 13 soldiers in military clothing suddenly appeared from a corner.
The 13 soldiers had just appeared and immediately, rifles were trained on them. The aura exuding from the numerous Enhancer experts caused them to not dare make rash moves.
"Is this Yue Zhong's troops? They don't seem to be much?" The leader of the 13 soldiers assessed the equipment of Hu-er Ran troops and sighed.
Hu-er Ran glanced at them and asked, "Who are you?"
The leader replied solemnly, "I'm Dong Han, and I'm the envoy sent by the Greater China Alliance, we hope to meet Leader Yue Zhong."
Hu-er Ran summoned a decent Evolver and gave an order, "Oh! Got it, Zhali Mu, send them to Hohhot City!"
"Understood!" Zhali Mu responded, and led 100 soldiers to escort Dong Han and his party towards Hohhot City.
"Is this Hohhot City? They already reclaimed it?" The moment Dong Han and his men entered and saw the bustling streets, their hearts were rocked and their eyes filled with shock. They didn't dare believe their eyes.
Dong Han came from the Greater China Alliance, and they had already conquered a few counties, but they didn't dare touch the major cities. In the past, they had tried to attack a city once, and the wave of a million zombies enveloped their troops. Those alive managed to flee, but they had suffered a great loss then.
Hohhot City was a major city and had over 2 million zombies in the past. Such a city was actually reclaimed by Yue Zhong, this caused Dong Han and the rest to feel astonished. What was even more shocking, the streets were filled with food stalls and vendors. Food was precious in the apocalypse, and even in the territories of the Greater China Alliance, there weren't such scenes. After all, the moment there was a display of food, countless people would go crazy.
And yet, since Yue Zhong had reclaimed many cities, and obtained a huge amount of resources, adding on to his research of the Mutant Rice Tree, his food output was enough to support his territories. Since the other factions had not reached his level, they could not do what he did.
Dong Han and his men watched the look of bliss and contentment on the faces of the people here, they couldn't help but feel envious, "This place of Yue Zhong is truly prosperous!! Hohhot City seems to already regain its former stability!"
The Greater China Alliance claimed to have a wide reach, but each of their territories was governed by some small time characters, and they came together to form the alliance. All of their places had not yet recovered to a degree of stability, and the weak were still preyed on by the strong, and there was still lawlessness everywhere.
If it weren't for their own convictions, Dong Han and the rest might have been tempted to join Yue Zhong already.

Chapter 675: Strategic Granary!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Dong Han came up to Yue Zhong, assessing him carefully as he spoke with a neither-overbearing-nor-servile attitude, "I'm Dong Han, the envoy from the Greater China Alliance, pleased to meet Leader Yue Zhong!"
Yue Zhong replied indifferently, "The Greater China Alliance? Whatever your motive, just say it."
Dong Han's gaze turned fervent as he spoke, "Leader Yue Zhong, our Leader Ximen Tian Xiong was a minister before the apocalypse. Our Greater China Alliance is orthodox. I'm here on official orders, representing the country and citizens, hoping that you'll join us. We can work together to kill the zombies and restore the glory of our country. As long as you're willing to join us, Leader Ximen is willing to confer upon you the position of a Chairman of the China Development Committee. You will receive plenty of benefits. In the future, if we successfully reclaim the entire country, based on your contributions, you can become one of the 10 great founding fathers, and receive the respect and admiration of our people."
After the apocalypse, Ximen Tian Xiong had been one of the few surviving ministers and was also one of the most powerful politicians in the past. Because of his status, he had easily gained control over a surviving troop near the capital, at the same time, many factions decided to join him.
The military only served to obey, and since Ximen Tian Xiong was one of the ministers, many soldiers were willing to follow his command. Thus, his rate of expansion had been naturally smoother than Yue Zhong.
Dong Han looked at Yue Zhong with a look of confidence. Using those previous words about the country and orthodoxies, he had managed to persuade countless factions. Most of Ximen Tian Xiong's troops were in fact won over by Dong Han's words. As long as he brought out promises of glory and riches, those commanders naturally gave in and joined Ximen Tian Xiong.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a strange light, as he replied mildly, "Chairman of the China Development Committee? You want me to hand over the control of my troops?"
Dong Han continued to persuade, "That's right! Leader Yue Zhong, whatever you've been doing is considered privatization, and if we're to pursue matters, your actions have already violated several laws and regulations. However, as the times are different, you have saved many people. As long as you surrender your military might, the government would not fault you for your actions and allow you to continue to contribute to the country. In the future books, you will be known as a hero, for everyone to learn from."
Yue Zhong looked at Dong Han with a sardonic smile, "Enough of your bullshit. This has all been established with my own efforts. Do you want to take it away from me? Fight me for it. If you're here to talk nonsense, you can scram! Just a little minister and he wants to represent the country and citizens? What a joke!"
Currently, Yue Zhong had over 2 million survivors under him, with over 40,000 elite troops, and Dong Han actually intended to try wrestle control with just words. It was impossible for Yue Zhong to give in.
The moment Yue Zhong gave up his military command, his subordinates would be purged. Even his own life would be threatened. If he gave up his military command, his life, possessions, and women would end up in the hands of others, and his fate would no longer be his to control. How could he agree to such conditions?
Even if he agreed, his subordinates would not. They had vested interests, and would definitely not agree to surrender to this Greater China Alliance.
One bespectacled man beside Dong Han had a furious expression as he barked, "What guts! How dare you speak in this manner? You're going against the country and people!"
Yue Zhong frowned, and one of the soldiers by his side, Niu Guang Ming shot forwards and slapped the bespectacled man harshly. His teeth were knocked out, while Niu Guang Ming spat, "Shut your dog trap! Leader didn't get you to talk, you guys better be obedient!"
Seeing how ferocious and violent Niu Guang Ming was, Dong Han and his men were frightened.
Dong Han knew that his words had no meaning anymore. He hesitated a while, gathering his thoughts, "Our Greater China Alliance would like to form an alliance with you, and join forces to take down a granary of the capital! Are you interested?"
When Yue Zhong heard this, his eyes flashed with bewilderment, and he asked with suspicion, "The granary is such a precious resource, how would you guys be so kind as to share with us?"
The strategic granary of the capital had the ration to feed over 10 million people. It was truly a precious resource. Its important was on par with most armories, and if Yue Zhong himself came in possession of it, he would definitely not share.
Dong Han continued, "There's a huge Mutant Beast horde there, with Mutant Cats, Mutant Dogs, Mutant Snakes, Mutant Cockroaches and all sorts of strange beasts. Our Greater China Alliance is unable to breach through, therefore they have sent me to contact you to recover this granary."
Yue Zhong pondered, before asking, "After we reclaim it, how are we splitting it?"
Dong Han responded smoothly, "50/50!"
Without missing a beat, Yue Zhong retorted, "70/30, 70 belongs to me, you guys take 30!"
Dong Han frowned, "45/55."
"60/40, 60 me, 40 yours!"
Dong Han immediately broke into a smile, "Deal! 60/40 it is, in any case, there are enough rations there. 40% will suffice for us!"
"You're truly easy to work with." Yue Zhong eyed Dong Han with appreciation and asked curiously, "Dong Han, you're a smart person, why did you start off with that bullshit?"
Dong Han responded with a strange glint, "It's not. Leader Yue Zhong, I have used those words to persuade countless people. Some words, if I don't use them, how would I know what the other party thinks? If I wasn't that forthright, who knew if you were actually willing to join us or not?"
Yue Zhong's eyes lit up and he assessed this man again, his respect and admiration growing, "Dong Han, I appreciate your skills, how about working for me?"
Dong Han was smart and knew when to retreat. His reaction was smooth, and he was truly a professional at communications. Yue Zhong had gathered a number of experts beneath him, and the closest he had was only Lian Da Zhong.
Dong Han chuckled, "Thank you for your praise, Leader Yue Zhong! I'm still a person of the Greater China Alliance, and have no intentions of leaving it as of now."
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with disappointment, "What a pity!"
Dong Han replied, "Other than joining forces to take down the granary, our Greater China Alliance also hopes to buy rations from you."
Yue Zhong asked, "Oh! What do you intend on using to purchase?"
Dong Han replied, "Pearls, gold, diamonds, antiques."
Yue Zhong's face turned sullen as he replied coldly, "We only use weapons, Mutant Beast meat, Mutant Beast materials, and fuel. 1 jin of Mutant Beast meat can exchange for 3 jin of rations. The weight of military weapons shall be the weight of the food exchanged. Mutant Beasts materials will use another form of trading value, for now, the hides are our priority. 1 jin of fuel can exchange for 1 jin of food."
Dong Han immediately chuckled bitterly, all these that Yue Zhong was asking for were what the Greater China Alliance also sorely needed. It was especially so for the military firepower. They were stringent even on ammunition.
Although the Greater China Alliance had opened a few weapons facilities, they were still lacking in factories. Every bullet they spent was a bullet gone. Fuel was also a precious resource now, without it, tanks and other vehicles could not move. As to the Mutant Beast parts, they were all vital materials in armor and weapons. They were obviously reluctant to give them up.
Dong Han pondered before gritting his teeth, "Leader Yue Zhong, we're willing to exchange 4 top beautiful virgins in exchange for 400 tonnes of rations. I can assure you, they're definitely on par with top models. You'll definitely like them. After we take down the granary, we're willing to give you 4,000 tonnes of rations."
Yue Zhong's gaze turned savage, "No! If you want to exchange manpower, it's possible, I want experts in the fields of optoelectronics, machine manufacturing, computing, doctors and any other professional fields. Every expert will be exchanged for a set amount of rations. Other than those, I want all beautiful virgins and a large number of them. Everyone of them will be exchanged according to my standards as well. Many of my subordinates are still single. You can also exchange with children, every child for 2 jin of rations. As to other women, 1 jin for 1."
Dong Han heard this and his scalp turned numb, he could only agree, "Alright!"
Yue Zhong then embraced Zhuo Ya Tong beside him, planting a kiss on her cheek, as he spoke, "Oh right, I'm still lacking some precious stones. My darling here loves them, as well as pearls and the Mutant Beasts nucleus. This time, you may use those nuclei to exchange. The bigger they are the better, the more value in the trade. If you do this well, I'll treat you well."
Dong Han looked at Yue Zhong somewhat enviously, "Understood!"
After both sides had come to an agreement, Dong Han left the place, returning to the Greater China Alliance.
Xie Le County was a small town near Zhang Kou City. There were people within the town, and from afar, one could tell that there were survivors gathered in the town. This was the headquarters of the Greater China Alliance.

Chapter 676: The 5 Heads of the Greater China Alliance!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Greater China Alliance was one of the largest factions in China. Their reach extended across the country, with 60 member groups. The survivors under them also numbered in the millions. Their headquarters was at the Xie Le County near the capital.
The President of the Alliance was Ximen Tian Xiong, and he had gone to Xie Le County to do a routine inspection. He managed to avoid the initial devastation of the apocalypse and made use of his position to gather troops, establishing the Alliance.
The survivors of the entire alliance were definitely in the millions, but they were all spread out and thus, the actual number in Xie Le County was only about 200,000.
Inside a lavish mansion, 5 men sat on a sofa and stared at Dong Han.
"You're saying that he wants experts in the optoelectronics, mechanical engineering, and medical fields?" One elderly man frowned, his face flushed.
This was the President of the alliance, Ximen Tian Xiong.
Dong Han replied, "That's right!"
A middle-aged man of about 35 to 36, dressed in a suit, asked slowly, "Seems like his ambitions are big. He has already considered the future as a governing body. He isn't simple."
This was one of the 5 heads of the alliance, Chan Wei Hua. He had been a boss figure in the past and awakened as an Evolver. He relied on his own power to become one of the top figures within the alliance.
Another man with a thick gold chain around his neck and branded clothes, with system rings as well as jewelry around his fingers spoke out, "You guys are overestimating him. The fact that he wants so many women proves that he's just some lustful person. He won't amount to much."
This particular man was called Zheng Da Long, and he was a farmer in the past, awakening during the apocalypse with immense strength. He was one of the rare triple-attribute Evolvers and made use of his strength to carve out a territory for himself, before being inducted into the alliance.
A neat and handsome man with gold-rimmed glasses and a slicked hairdo spoke out coldly, his gaze icy, "He doesn't want just women, he wants to populate."
This man was called Su Xing He, a low-level cadre from before the apocalypse. After awakening as a peak level Evolver, he used his wits and abilities to climb up the ladder, ending up as a head figure. He could tell Yue Zhong's motive.
There was a remaining military personnel with sword-like brows and a strict demeanor. He was called Zhang Jian Xing. He was the commander of the army, and although he and Ximen Tian Xiong were ordinary people, he had the command of the army and was one of the head figures of the alliance.
Zheng Da Long squinted, and asked with an honest look, "Oh? Why population? He already has a million survivors, he shouldn't be lacking in manpower."
Su Xing He had seen through Yue Zhong's objectives, and replied slowly, "His ambition is huge. He wants us to exchange experts because he lacks those talents. He wanted women because he wants to promote childbirth. Without women, how could he grow his population? As for the children, he could groom them and they would rely on him and become his loyal supporters in the future. He doesn't have to worry about men because as long he implements his plans, he could win the men from our hands. He's truly crafty and hard to deal with!"
Hearing his analysis, the rest of the heads fell silent, their brows furrowed, and found themselves agreeing with his words.
Chan Wei Hua asked Su Xing He, "Xing He, what should we do then? We don't have enough resources!"
Xie Le County had 200,000 people, and every day, their consumption was huge. Ximen Tian Xiong had already tried restricting the outflow. Other than the 10,000-strong army and 4,000 subordinates of the 5 heads who ate half their original meals, the rest of the survivors could only get gruel. Even then, it was still an astonishing dwindling of their rations. If it weren't for their scavenging troops heading out to look for food, they could not support themselves.
Yue Zhong's power had already reached the borders of the Greater China Alliance, and they found themselves stuck, between Yue Zhong's harsh terms of exchange and their own resources. Even if there weren't any major operations, they could at most hold out for another week.
Zheng Da Long continued squinting and suggested, "Why don't we try attacking the granary first. Since there're Mutant Beasts there, we should be able to gain some meat from there.
Su Xing He shook his head and rejected, "There should be at least 10 Type 3 Mutant Beasts. If we don't send all our forces, we will definitely lose. But then, if we did so, Yue Zhong would take the chance to attack us. Then whatever we have built up, we would lose."
Type 3 Beasts were no joke, each of them was terrifying existence.
Yue Zhong had 10 Type 3 Treants with him, and each time he launched a night raid, their rate of slaughter was extremely terrifying.
Chan Wei Hua asked, "Then what?"
Su Xing He's eyes flashed with fervor, "We can only exchange the people. Once we hold out for this period and implement that plan, we will recover whatever we've lost."
Ximen Tian Xiong turned silent, before his gaze also turned resolute, "Alright, let him be smug for a while."
Ximen Tian Xiong had made his decision and sent over a thousand experts and professors in various fields as well as a large number of women towards Hohhot City. Yue Zhong also kept his word, sending the rations over.
Without his support, Xie Li County would have faced a catastrophic food shortage.
In this exchange, Yue Zhong gained a large number of talents, as well as a huge pile of precious stones, diamonds, and Mutant Beasts nuclei. Of which, he had obtained 13 Type 3 Nuclei, 60 Type 2 Nuclei, and over 200 Mutant Beast nuclei.
After the Greater China Alliance received the food, they began to send envoys to urge Yue Zhong to join forces with them to attack the granary.
Yue Zhong wasn't particularly in a rush, instead, sending Hu-er Ran and Lie Ming Yi as well as their 2nd Brigade and 3rd Brigade to continue on their mission to wipe out the zombies in the surrounding counties, before reclaiming those territories.
The horde controlled by the mutant zombie had continued northeast, and although they weren't moving towards the capital, there were still a lot of zombies in the nearby counties making their way to congregate. However, these zombies were slowly being cleared by Yue Zhong's troops before they could join up with the rest.
The Greater China Alliance watched as Yue Zhong continued to reclaim territory after territory, and they couldn't sit still, feeling the pressure, and they started to deploy their own troops to conquer the other towns.
There were over 14,000 soldiers in the Greater China Alliance. Although they had no way of contending with a million-strong horde, they could still deal with tens or hundreds of thousands in those small counties.
Yue Zhong watched them and didn't send any troops to attack them. After all, the zombies at the capital were too many, over 2 million. At the same time, there were too many people in the surrounding towns and counties. With just Yue Zhong's factions, even using 15 missiles would not be able to wipe out the zombies fully. Thus, as long as the Greater China Alliance attacked the zombies instead of him, he could still tolerate their existence.
Just as both factions went on their tacit understanding in clearing the zombies, there was a sudden movement from the 3 million zombies in Zhang Kou City. They left the city and formed a wave that made its way towards the capital.
Yue Zhong sent many unmanned drones to conduct reconnaissance on the zombies, and the moment the zombies left, he immediately deployed the Tiger Wolf Army to head there and clean up the remaining zombies. He reclaimed the city before the Greater China Alliance even had a chance to react.
The Greater China Alliance was plunged into a sudden disadvantage. They realized they were suddenly surrounded on 3 sides by Yue Zhong's factions.
Left with no choice, they could only continue towards the northeast direction and conquer 2 cities, and other smaller villages.
Although they conquered the 2 cities and annihilated over hundreds of thousands of zombies, they lost hundreds of soldiers and wasted a large amount of ammunition. Their military strength suffered a huge loss.
Under their efforts, Zhang Kou City was jointly shared by Yue Zhong and them. Both sides maintained an impasse. They didn't dare to attack Yue Zhong, and Yue Zhong wasn't willing to wipe out this 'ally' that could help kill the zombies.
Yue Zhong knew that if he wanted to swallow them, he would have to pay a huge price as well. In the end, forcing them to fight the zombies wasn't a bad choice.

Chapter 677: Arrival of the Beast Horde!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
By now, the Central Plains had an established governing cabinet, and the troops had cleared out the zombies near Zhang Kou City according to plans.
Having secured the control of Zhang Kou City, Yue Zhong then led the 1st Regiment and its armored division, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and stationed them in Zhang Kou City.
After resting for a few days, Yue Zhong personally led the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Brigade, together with the 10,000-strong army of the Greater China Alliance, as they made their way towards the granary in the city.
The Greater China Alliance also sent out their long-time commander Zhang Jian Xing, their strongest Evolver Zhen Da Long, as well as the crafty Evolver Su Xing He.
Along the way, although both troops maintained their guard against each other, both sides had the common goal of taking down the granary. Hence, while tension was high, there wasn't any exchange of fire.
Under those conditions, both armies entered Nan Min Town.
The zombies in Nan Min Town had already been cleared out by the recon soldiers sent to investigate the granary previously.
By the time they entered the town, it was in the evening. Both armies occupied half the town each and began to prepare their dinner.
Yue Zhong's troops ate rice, as well as broth, together with their luncheon meat, Mutant Beast and Mutant Fish meat. Whereas the soldiers of the Greater China Alliance only ate bland cornbread.
The Greater China Alliance had managed to gain a large amount of corn and cornflour after obtaining 2 cities. Thus, their meals became cornbread. As for canned meat, luncheon meat, and all sorts of nourishing food, these were only issued to the higher command, and the ordinary soldiers could not eat them.
"Shit! They got some really good food there!" One of the Alliance soldiers came back to his own camp, looking at the 2 cornbread in his hands, and thought back to what Yue Zhong's side was eating. He could not help but curse in envy.
Another soldier bit into his cornbread and spoke, "Be content! One month ago, we didn't even have enough to eat, it's already good that we could eat our fill now."
Not so long ago, the Greater China Alliance was facing a food shortage, and few among their troops could eat their fill. Compare to then, they were truly in a better position.
Another soldier looked around before speaking in a low voice, "Did you guys hear? The leader over there is called Yue Zhong, he had already led his troops to conquer Hohhot City, Bao Xi City and Zhang Kou City, and many other places."
One soldier grumbled, "I should have known! We stayed so long in those lousy places, how can we compare with others?"
On one side, there was a valiant leader who had gone to conquer the whole of Central Plains, while the other had kept themselves holed up in a few broken cities. The soldiers were naturally unhappy. They were after all humans with their own thinking and not undead zombies that only knew to follow orders.
That same soldier spoke softly, "Then do you know? It seems that if any of us were to go over and pass their questioning, we could become one of them. As a soldier there, not only is there meat to eat, if one gains enough merit, they can get their own wives and form a family again!"
The soldiers were immediately stirred, as they crowded around in a bid to make things clear, "Is that for real?"
In the camp of the Greater China Alliance, many small groups started their own conversations, and many were tempted to join Yue Zhong.
There were over 10,000 soldiers in the Greater China Alliance, and they comprised of the survivors that had joined in the past year. Their sense of belonging wasn't as strong. Especially with a situation where they couldn't eat their fill, they were naturally dissatisfied.
In the dark of the night, as night fell over this town, many pairs of eyes lit up in the distance.
A sea of Mutant Rats came rushing towards the town.
"Mutant Beasts!! The Mutant Beasts are here!"
Both Yue Zhong and Zhang Jian Xing had been cautious and deployed many experts to be on sentry. The moment the Mutant Rat horde came close, the alarm was sounded.
The moment the alarm rang out, all the soldiers got ready and gathered in their positions.
After they got in position, there was a huge difference in the troops. Yue Zhong's soldiers had been through countless battles with zombies and Mutant Beasts. After the battles, their experience had groomed them into elites. The moment they heard the alarm, they had swiftly gathered under their respective commanders. As for the Alliance troops, many were just living meal to meal and had not undergone any formal training. They gathered in a messy manner, some even began to panic. That was the difference between a well-trained troop and a motley bunch of people.
"What an elite troop!!" Zhang Jian Xing saw the soldiers under Yue Zhong responding so efficiently, and he looked at his own subordinates, his lips pursed and a chill overcame his heart.
It was not that Zhang Jian Xing did not know the importance of training. However, the Alliance had always been lacking in food, and if they trained without proper nutrition, it would be dangerous. Their previous food shortage simply did not allow them to.
However, it was not that they lacked elites. 1,000 elite soldiers got into position with a similar speed to Yue Zhong's troops and followed their orders to take up their defenses.
Yue Zhong came to the front lines of the town.
At this time, a number of flares lit up the night and area, and everyone could see the sea-like horde of Mutant Rats making their way towards the town.
"Open fire!"
Bullets flew from the Alliance, blanketing the Mutant Rats.
Yue Zhong watched them and did not issue any order to fire, instead, turning to Bi Lǜ and commanded, "Do it! Eliminate them!"
Bi Lǜ closed her eyes, and like a goddess, she waved her hands and a spiritual wave spread out towards the nearby Treants.
3,000 Treants charged towards the Mutant Rats the moment they were touched by the spiritual wave.
The 3,000 Treants charged right into the horde of Mutant Rats, using their sharp claws to tear the Mutant Rats apart. These were all creatures of above Level 20, their barks were tough, and the claws of Mutant Rats could not pierce through easily. The claws of the Treants were much sharper in comparison.
The 3,000 Treants had stood guard outside the town like rocks, and faced the incoming wave of Mutant Rats, tearing them apart and gobbling up their corpses.
These Treants still had room for evolving, as long as they consumed enough flesh, blood, and essence, they could become stronger.
The commanders of the Alliance looked at Yue Zhong and his 3,000 Treants, their eyes flashing with envy, "Strong! They could actually command such freaks!"
Over at their own side, while their soldiers were firing at will, many of the Mutant Rats managed to breach their defenses and bit their soldiers to death.
However, they made a swift reaction, as a number of firetrucks drove forwards and fired a few arrows with oil into the rats, and lit them up.
Long walls of flames instantly appeared, separating some of the Mutant Rats, and forcing many of them towards Yue Zhong's direction.
The Treants managed to hold off the huge horde of Mutant Rats, as any of them that managed to reach the Treants were instantly sliced apart.
Soon, there was a mountain of Mutant Rats corpses in front of the 3,000 Treants.
As for the human soldiers, they watched quietly as the 2 opposing sides of mutant creatures tore each other apart.
From time to time, one or two of the Treants would be broken down by the combined attacks of the countless Mutant Rats, however, many more Treants would retaliate.
The intense battle continued for an entire half hour, after which, there were suddenly terrifying roars that resounded from behind the Mutant Rats. A number of Mutant Dogs, Mutant Cats, Mutant Lizards, Mutant Snakes, Mutant Scorpions, Mutant Tigers, Mutant Apes, Mutant Gorillas and other variants all appeared, bringing a terrifying pressure.
"Fire the cannons!! Fire the cannons!"
Yue Zhong watched the swarm of Mutant Beasts and his eyes narrowed as he gave the order.
Among the sea of Mutant Beasts, there were many Type 2 Mutant Beasts and giant ones. They were not something that the Treants could handle.
Should the Type 2 Mutant Beasts charge through, the 3,000 Treants would be immediately ripped apart.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Yue Zhong's troops and the alliance troops brought their own heavy artillery, and both sides began to fire, as powerful missiles rained down upon the Mutant Beast horde, blasting large patches of them into oblivion.
Heavy firepower was the answer to dealing with Mutant Beasts hordes. As long as the missiles landed, even a Type 4 Mutant Beast would be heavily injured. Of course, a single round could instantly kill a Type 2 or Type 3 Mutant Beast, but it was not the case for a Type 4 Mutant Beast.
Under the rain of heavy artillery, many of the Mutant Beasts were killed, but much more managed to evade the rain of heavy fire, and charged towards Yue Zhong and the Alliance.

Chapter 678: Fierce Battle with the Mutant Beast Horde!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
There were numerous Type 2 Mutant Beasts charging for the 2 armies, each of them possessing a terrifying strength. Facing those Type 2 Mutant Beasts, many of the soldiers of the Alliance began to pull out their rockets and grenade launchers, firing at the Type 2 Mutant Beasts, injuring them gravely. However, even so, the Type 2 Mutant Beasts managed to charge through their lines and began to unleash mayhem and hell upon the soldiers.
With the support of the other soldiers, the Alliance paid the price of 50 lives before killing the Type 2 Mutant Beasts that had breached their defenses.
Over at Yue Zhong's side, 300 soldiers wielded laser guns and fired from afar. The laser beams pierced the heads of the Type 2 Mutant Beasts, continuing through some of the other lesser Mutant Beasts behind them.
When the soldiers of the Alliance saw the laser guns in the hands of Yue Zhong's soldiers, their hearts were filled with shock, "Laser guns! They had already managed to develop such weapons!"
The laser gun was a technology that many major countries were researching into before the apocalypse. However, while the technology of laser existed, converting it into a weapon was likely something that required another 20 years.
However, there were laser guns now in the hands of Yue Zhong's soldiers, and this caused all the soldiers of the Alliance to be shocked. This meant that Yue Zhong already had a mature production line of laser guns. Furthermore, he already had the research ability.
Zhang Jian Xing watched as the soldiers fired the laser guns, turning the heads of the Type 2 Mutant Beasts into sieves, and they slumped dead after roaring in agony.
His eyes narrowed in shock, and he immediately recognized the threat and importance of such a weapon.
After the world changed, Mutant Beasts were evolving constantly. The Type 2 Mutant Beasts were already largely invulnerable to bullets, and their defenses were strong. While anti-tank missiles might deal some damage, the Type 3 Mutant Beasts were another tier higher.
Ordinary soldiers were helpless against Type 2 Mutant Beasts, but with the laser guns, ordinary soldiers could kill them. In the future battles, any side that had laser guns would have a huge advantage.
Zhang Jian Xing had already realized that be it equipment, training or battle experience, Yue Zhong's troops were vastly superior to his own. If Yue Zhong had wanted them eliminated, he knew they would perish without a doubt.
Zheng Da Long saw how easily Yue Zhong's soldiers were killing the Type 2 Mutant Beasts and he couldn't help but feel a chill, "What a terrifying army!"
Although Zheng Da Long was a peak Evolver, he had no confidence that he could block the lasers. He was filled with trepidation towards the soldiers of Yue Zhong's troops.
"Strong!"
As the soldiers of varying ranks in the Alliance watched, their eyes were filled with a complicated gaze.
With the support of the artillery, numerous Mutant Beasts were blasted to death, and the soldiers of the Alliance and Yue Zhong continued to defend their own positions, withstanding this wave of Mutant Beasts.
After an hour, there was another earthshaking roar from behind the hordes of Mutant Beasts.
10 Type 3 Mutant Beasts appeared in the sight of everybody. One was a 6m-tall Ferocious Ape, another was a 90m-long Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent with a single horn. Another was a 6m-tall Type 3 Golden Scaled Mouse, covered entirely in gold scales. There was a Type 3 Red Panther covered with red scales, a 10m-tall Type 3 Mutant Black Gorilla, a Type 3 Mutant Dog that had thick black fur that made it look like a lion, a Type 3 Giant Turtle with a shell the size of a moveable fortress, a Type 3 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar of about 10m, a Type 3 Steel Armor Bull, 10m-tall and covered in metal, a Type 3 Black-Spotted Spider of about 2m, and finally, a Type 3 Lykoi (Werewolf Cat) that was larger than a panther, with extremely sharp claws.
On top of the Type 3 Red Panther, there was a demon-like creature who stood 3m-tall, covered in a layer of gold scales, it had a tiger head, and yet it had golden wings behind its back. This creature stared at the town coldly.
This creature with a tiger head suddenly let out a piercing howl, and all 9 Type 3 Mutant Beasts responded in kind, before charging right at the town.
Of these beasts, the Type 3 Lykoi and Type 3 Mutant Dog were the fastest, on par with Lightning, and managed to breach the sound barrier.
The Type 3 Lykoi managed to charge right into the camp of the Alliance, and with a flash of its claws, many of the soldiers were ripped apart, their organs and brains splattering everywhere. It was a horrific sight.
Zheng Da Long eyed the Type 3 Lykoi and shouted out in a solemn voice, "Su Xing He, let's charge together!"
"Ok!"
Su Xing He followed behind Zheng Da Long, leading a dozen Evolvers as they rushed towards the Type 3 Lykoi.
Zheng Da Long activated his Second Order Werewolf Transformation, and his muscles rippled, as he transformed into a 3m-tall werewolf. After he transformed, he activated his Second Order High-Speed Movement, and pushed his speed to the limits of the sound barrier, rushing right at the Type 3 Lykoi. With a swipe, he managed to rip a huge chunk of meat from the body of the beast.
The Type 3 Lykoi roared out in anger and slashed back at Zheng Da Long. However, before it could reach his body, a powerful psychic barrier appeared in front of Zheng Da Long.
The Type 3 Lykoi slapped the psychic barrier, causing it to disintegrate.
Zheng Da Long took the opportunity to escape the attack range of the Type 3 Lykoi.
Su Xing He was a psychic Enhancer, and his barriers were all well-controlled. By working together with Zheng Da Long, they had killed many Type 3 Mutant Beasts before.
A dozen Evolvers quickly reached the battlefield, unleashing their skills at the Type 3 Lykoi. If any of them were to go against the beast alone, they would definitely be killed in an instant. However, working together with Su Xing He and Zheng Da Long who held it down, they could quickly unleash their abilities and injure the Type 3 Lykoi heavily.
On the other side, the Type 3 Mutant Dog had reached Yue Zhong's camp, however, it was met with a flash of a pale-white fist. Yin Shuang burst forwards with a terrifying strength.
Although the Type 3 Mutant Dog wasn't a Strength-based Mutant Beast, its strength was still higher than humans, and most Strength-based Evolvers could not match it. It slashed viciously at Yin Shuang, intending to turn this little human into meat paste.
A powerful explosion happened as the 2 parties brought forth their terrifying strength.
With a loud 'hong', the right claw of the Type 3 Mutant Dog was blasted apart, its bones disintegrating. A large amount of blood sprayed out, and the ferocious dog was also sent tumbling back in a pathetic manner.
"Strong!!" Yue Zhong watched how Yin Shuang had sent it flying and praised. A single fist could actually send a Type 3 Mutant Beast flying back, her strength was truly terrifying.
Among the intelligent life forms Yue Zhong had, Yin Shuang did not have the ability to summon other Sea Mutant Beasts like Hai Lan, nor the ability to control a Mother Tree or other Treants like Bi Lǜ. She didn't seem to have any special skills, except her pure strength and speed. Even Yue Zhong with his Steel Body would be gravely injured if punched by her. She was truly an intelligent life form meant for combat.
"Enemies of Father, die!!" Yin Shuang's eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light, and her entire body shot forwards like a cannonball, her fist blasting towards the body of the Type 3 Mutant Dog. It caused the entire body to cave in, and a number of bones broke.
The pitiful Type 3 Mutant Dog flew through the air, spitting out blood.
Yin Shuang continued to give chase, forcing it to retreat further.
Yue Zhong looked at the other 7 incoming Mutant Beasts, and pulled out his Electromagnetic Gun, firing at the 10m-tall Type 3 Black Gorilla.
Although it was a large beast, its reaction was swift. Yue Zhong had just fired, and it already dodged to the side.
Yue Zhong cocked the gun once more, and a beam shot out, penetrating the body of the Black Gorilla, leaving a large, smoking hole.
The Type 3 Black Gorilla roared out in rage and pain and charged at Yue Zhong as though nothing had happened. Its wound from the Electromagnetic Gun was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Type 3 Black Gorilla wasn't exactly fast, but it was still at least 18 or 19 times faster than an ordinary human. However, its defense, recovery rate and strength were among the strongest of the Type 3 Mutant Beasts. As long as its head was not damaged, or its heart pierced, it could quickly recover.

Chapter 679: Strange Change!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent opened its jaws and activated its innate ability. A large green cloud of poison spread out all over the soldiers of the alliance, enveloping the defense post.
Many soldiers instantly started to rot, their flesh dripping off their bones. They struggled for a while, before helplessly turning into a puddle of liquid.
The soldiers of the Alliance watched as their comrades were dissolved into liquid and their faces were filled with shock. Many were stricken by fear and immediately turned to flee.
With that single attack of the Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent, the defense post of the Alliance immediately crumbled, and the suppressing fire on the Mutant Beast also stopped.
However, there were still elites within the Alliance, and Zhang Jian Xing quickly assigned a platoon of soldiers to charge forward and defend against the attacks of the Mutant Beasts.
After spitting out the poison fog, the Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent swiftly headed towards Yue Zhong's direction to spew out another round.
Yue Zhong's eyes turned cold and he flicked his right hand, congealing a ball of Devil Flame. He then threw a punch towards the skies, and a beam of flame that seemed to be able to burn through everything fired at the poison fog, incinerating the green fog into smoke.
The Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent wanted to continue spewing its poison, but it was unfortunately met with a volley of artillery fire, enveloping it.
Hong! Hong!
Following the sound of an explosion, the Type 3 Green Jiao Serpent was injured heavily by the blasts and was sent tumbling to one side.
"Chance!" A small cat hidden at a high vantage point watched quietly, and its eyes flashed with a human-like intelligence.
As the Alliance and Yue Zhong's forces were entangled with the Type 3 Mutant Beasts, a number of large trucks came from the distance. From within them, numerous Kingdom of God soldiers, Adjudicators and Judges came charging out wearing high-level Defense Vests.
These Kingdom of God troops began to launch an assault on Yue Zhong's troops.
One soldier came up to Zhang Jian Xing in panic and reported, "Commander!! Commander, it's bad! The Kingdom of God has just attacked Yue Zhong's forces!"
"What? Without my order, how can they choose this time to attack? If the Yue Zhong's troops are done, we will be killed by the beasts as well! Mr. Erek! This wasn't our agreement!!" Zhang Jian Xing's face turned steely as he questioned the European beside him.
According to the agreement between the Alliance and the Kingdom of God, both sides would launch an attack on Yue Zhong's forces after they had repelled the wave of Mutant Beasts. The Kingdom of God would then support the Alliance to swallow up Yue Zhong's forces. Zhang Jian Xing had not expected for Erek to suddenly choose this time to attack.
Erek revealed a carefree smile, "Mr. Zhang Jian Xing, this is the best chance to kill Yue Zhong. We will not let go of this chance. Thank you for your foolishness, you are of no use now. Go and die."
As he smiled at Zhang Jian Xing, another European beside him who wore a black leather suit grabbed at Zhang Jian Xing with a stern expression. 5 air blades shot out from his fingertips and instantly sliced Zhang Jian Xing's head off.
"Go to hell, yellow-skinned monkeys!" Another male in a jacket and cowboy pants laughed savagely and pointed.
A number of transparent lines shot out from all directions, and twirled among the people present, slicing the numerous soldiers of the Alliance into pieces.
As things had progressed too fast, the experts and commanders of the Alliance had not the time to react. They didn't expect their ally to act against them, and they died with a look of loss and shock on their faces.
Erek looked at the corpses with an expression of distaste, speaking to Wade and Wilson, "Wade! Wilson! Yue Zhong is yours to handle. Once you've accomplished your mission, let's head to Heaven's Playground to enjoy ourselves properly!"
Wilson, who wore the cowboy pants laughed, "Your treat!"
Erek replied, "OK!"
"Alright! Then you can wait here for our good news!" Wilson chuckled and in a flash, both he and Wade disappeared from their location, making their way towards the distance.
"Fuck! Those bastards truly had something up their sleeves, they actually chose this time to attack! Damn it!!"
Yue Zhong had always been on guard against the Alliance and had likewise stationed a few soldiers of the 3rd Brigade to keep an eye on them. The moment the Kingdom of God made a move, Hu-er Ran cursed and led his elites to defend their positions, engaging the Kingdom of God in combat.
These Kingdom of God elites had the advanced rifles and they even had infrared vision, as well as other advanced equipment. As for the Judges and Adjudicators, they were all from Germany and had undergone strict military training, as well as life-and-death situations. Coupled with the job change of the system, their combat prowess had been pushed to another tier. Although there were only 800 of them, the moment they attacked, they completely suppressed the 3rd Brigade.
"Commander! We're being pummeled here! Please send help!"
"Commander, please send help! A platoon! At the very least! We're going to lose at this rate!"
The Judges and Adjudicators were led by 12 Divine Envoys and 36 Envoys-in-waiting, and they launched a terrifying assault on the 3rd Brigade.
Modern warfare took lives extremely fast due to the firearms against firearms, unlike in the past, where melee combat was more drawn out. However, due to the apocalypse, there were Evolvers and Enhancers and all sorts of new battle techniques. Many Evolvers could make use of their powerful skills to attack enemies, causing the speed of the battle to become even faster.
The Divine Envoys were all peak Evolvers, and their battle ability would not lose to Hu-er Ran. With 12 of them attacking, the tide of the battle was with the Kingdom of God, and every second, there was a 3rd Brigade soldier being slaughtered.
Hu-er Ran heard the pleas for help and his head hurt, "Those bastards, how are those foreigners so strong?!"
Suddenly, his mind became clear, "The Kingdom of God! That's right, they're the soldiers from the Kingdom of God! No wonder they're so strong! Zha Ci, go inform the leader, request support from him!!"
"Understood!" Zha Ci replied and quickly went over to Yue Zhong's side.
Hu-er Ran then ordered solemnly, "Hua Bu La Tuo, go lead the special forces of the 3rd Brigade!"
Hua Bu La Tuo's Special Forces within the 3rd Brigade was formed of a number of Mongolian elites after they had joined Yue Zhong. There were 22 natural Evolvers and had been part of the Qie Xue Forces in the past.
"Yes!" Hua Bu La Tuo acknowledged and rushed off.
Hua Bu La Tuo led the forces of the 3rd Brigade and clashed with the Kingdom of God forces. Although they had suffered casualties under the assault of the Kingdom of God, they were extremely strong-willed and had no intentions of retreating.
The entire 3rd Brigade knew there was no way back for them, the moment they fled, Yue Zhong would exterminate them on legit grounds. By then, they would no longer have their own troops nor pride. To them, honor was the only thing keeping them banded together. Without it or resolution, it was hard to become a top-notch force.
"Trash! On what grounds do you yellow-skinned monkeys think you can impede us?! Go to hell!" One Divine Envoy became a huge werewolf, and his eyes flashed with a vicious glint. He laughed savagely, and charged forwards, tearing out the heart of one soldier from the 3rd Brigade.
Countless bullets fell upon the werewolf, and he managed to dodge most of them, while those that hit just bounced off.
"Animal!!" One soldier roared out in fury, his eyes bloodshot as he charged for the werewolf.
"Trash! Since you want to die, I'll grant it to you!" The werewolf laughed cruelly, his body flashing and his claws entered the chest of the soldier.
The soldier revealed an ugly smile as the grenade in his hands landed on the ground, and with a huge boom, the explosion enveloped both of them together.
As the dust settled, the werewolf's right arm and leg were blasted apart, his body riddled with wounds, but even then, he still had not died.
"How could….this...be?" The werewolf's eyes were filled with shock, at this time, 2 rocket launchers blasted out on his body, blasting his body apart.
A Divine Envoy of the Kingdom of God had died in combat!
This was the cruel battlefield, even peak Evolvers would be killed by ordinary people they underestimate. After all, these were ordinary soldiers with extraordinary fighting spirit and powerful weapons!

Chapter 680: Fierce Battle with the Apostles!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Wilson came to the battlefield and saw that while the KoG soldiers had the advantage, they still could not destroy the 3rd Brigade entirely. He chuckled coldly, "What an eyesore! They still haven't settled this yellow monkeys. Wade, it's our turn! Let's go kill all the Evolvers first!"
Wade nodded slightly and immediately charged towards the Special Forces led by Hua Mu La Tuo.
In a few breaths, Wilson and Wade had appeared in front of the Special Forces.
The 2 of them were quadruple-attribute Evolvers, with Strength, Agility, Spirit, and Endurance as their main attributes. They were peak Evolvers and their system equipment was considered top-notch, gathered through the efforts of the Kingdom of God. They were at least Level 4 and above.
Wilson immediately waved his hands the moment he appeared in front of the Mongolian Special Forces, sending 5 blades of air out. That caused 5 soldiers of the 3rd Brigade to be sliced in two at the waist, fresh blood pouring everywhere.
Wade transformed into a blur, with 10 transparent lines on his fingers as sharp as knives. He charged through the crowd, slicing the soldiers into countless parts. Within the Special Forces, no one seemed to be able to defend against the 2 of them.
"Beast!! I'll kill you!!" Hua Mu La Tuo watched as the 2 Apostles slaughtered his subordinates, and his eyes turned bloodshot, before leading 7 Evolvers towards them.
Hua Mu La Tuo was a Level 60 Spirit-based Evolver, and his main skill was Earth Manipulation. As he slapped down hard on the ground, a number of earth spikes shot out from the ground, each about 6m-tall, striking at Wilson and Wade.
The 2 Apostles flashed and dodged the spikes like ghosts.
"Die!" The 7 Evolvers formed a small team that launched a sudden assault on Wilson with a pronged attack.
A number of Gravity pulses, flaming arrows, flying blades and ice shards formed a myriad of attacks that slammed towards Wilson, together with a few other shockwaves, weapons as well as summon beasts.
"It's useless! There's only one outcome for you guys, which is death!" Wilson faced the onslaught of attacks and his face revealed a cold smile. He extended his fingers and 7 large air blades shot out as though they had a will of their own, instantly slicing the 7 Evolvers into halves.
After taking out the 7 Evolvers in a single move, the myriad of attacks dissolved onto an air barrier that Wilson had conjured around him, not damaging him in the slightest.
"How is this possible? How is this strong?" Hua Mu La Tuo stared at the uninjured Wilson, his eyes flashing with shock. The 7 Evolvers had joined hands, and their attack was something even Hu-er Ran dared not face head-on. However, they had actually died in an instant under Wilson's methods, and Hua Mu La Tuo could not believe his eyes.
"Go to hell!" All of a sudden, there was a shout, and 10 transparent lines pierced through his head before they started spinning and sliced up his brain.
Hua Mu La Tuo, the strongest expert within the 3rd Brigade, had died!
With his death, the rest of the soldiers immediately went crazy, pulling out their weapons and firing madly at the 2 Apostles. They had plenty of experience and knew that if they were to charge forwards like bees, they would only rush to their deaths.
Only by having Hu-er Ran, their own peak Evolver to hold them off, the rest of them could find the chance to take them out.
"Are you guys Apostles?" Just as the 2 brothers were preparing to slaughter the rest of the 3rd Brigade, a voice resounded.
"Leader!"
"Leader is here!!"
"Long live Leader!!"
The moment the voice resounded, the entire 3rd Brigade cheered out in an earthshaking roar. In the past, they had been Yue Zhong's enemies, but even then, they were full of respect for him. When on the battlefield, as long as Yue Zhong came personally, they would achieve victory. With such an aura, not only did they roared out in triumph, their morale was pushed high again.
Any troop that had victories and glory under their belt, would be able to grow even more in confidence with each additional victory.
At the same time that Yue Zhong appeared, 8 high-level Treants, 2,000 low-level Treants of above Level 30, as well as the 10 Type 3 Treants charged out and engaged the KoG soldiers.
Wilson and Wade stared fixedly at Yue Zhong, this man was their target. As long as they could kill this man, they would have done a great deed for their organization, and their position in the Kingdom of God would be further cemented. Their resources would be more as well.
The Apostles were the strongest existences of the Kingdom of God, however, there were only 12 Apostles, each of them representing the peak level of power. The closer the number was to 1, the stronger they were. Wilson and Wade were the last 2 Apostles, and they sought to gain a better ranking and foothold. Only then, they would gain more resources.
Wade eyed Yue Zhong with a look of excitement, "You're Yue Zhong? You'll die here today! I will use your head as my wine cup. A cup made out of the skull of an expert on the level of us Apostles. It truly makes me excited. Haha!! Go to hell!"
10 strings had already shot out from behind Yue Zhong, making their way towards his head.
Wade had only about a 2km-distance in handling the transparent lines. Within that distance, the strings could even pierce the hulls of armored vehicles. He could also assassinate numerous experts. Before he had become an Apostle, he had made us of this ability to wipe out plenty of strong enemies.
The line moved, and Yue Zhong was filled with a bad feeling. The possibility of death loomed in his heart, and his body was surrounded by a green radiance, as the Bronze Spiritual Bell protected him.
The 10 transparent lines slammed into the shield, and there was a grating sound of metal striking metal.
"You're an Evolver that makes use of strings!" Yue Zhong discovered that ordinary people could never make out the transparent lines.
"Kill him!!" Wade and Wilson both pointed at Yue Zhong and roared.
The remaining Divine Envoys and Envoys-in-waiting charged at Yue Zhong together with the rest of the Judges.
Yue Zhong watched them and coldly laughed as he ordered, "Fire the cannons!"
Hong! Hong! Hong!
With loud bangs, a volley of heavy artillery came raining down on the elites of the Kingdom of God, blasting many of them into pieces.
300 soldiers were hiding behind cover, armed with laser guns, and they began firing at the KoG soldiers.
Many laser beams shot out towards the KoG soldiers, and one werewolf had was even turned into a sieve with multiple smoking holes on his body. One of them directly pierced his spine, and he crumpled to the floor.
Wade saw the 300 soldiers appeared with laser guns, slaughtering his subordinates, and he roared out in shock, "How is it possible?! You should only have 500 laser guns, how could you have an additional 300 more?!"
In the reports on Yue Zhong, the Kingdom of God thought that Yue Zhong only had 500 laser guns, and the Central Plains weren't equipped to manufacture them. They had seen that Yue Zhong's forces had fought off the wave of Mutant Beasts with all the laser guns they assumed Yue Zhong to have, that was why they had launched their attacks.
"Your information is out of date!" Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and opened his palm, as a terrifying Devil Flame dragon shot out towards Wade.
Wade's expression turned ugly, and he retaliated by sending his strings towards Yue Zhong from different directions. At the same time, more strings shot in front of him to form a huge shield.
The dragon made out of Devil Flame swallowed the shield, and in a flash, it was incinerated. Without stopping, the Devil Flame continued to pounce towards Wade.
Yue Zhong's flame ability was precisely the bane of Wade's ability, as the flames could burn the wires that Wade controlled. Other abilities could not do the same.
Wade waved his hands, and a shield of light appeared in front of him.
The Devil Flame dragon exploded on the shield of light and shattered it.
As for Wade, he had retreated dozens of meters.
Wilson's eyes flashed coldly and he conjured up a blast of air from behind him, sending him hurtling through the air towards Yue Zhong. He pointed at Yue Zhong and sent 7 sharp blades of air towards him.
Yue Zhong had already activated his Shadow Steps and Bone Encompassing Armor, and though he could not see the air blades, he had already sensed them through his danger perception and abundant battle experience. He pulled out his sharpest weapon, the Flame Blade made of the claw of the Flame Bird, and slashed apart 6 of the air blades with a burst of flames.
The last air blade managed to slam into his left shoulder, breaking the bone armor but was stopped by the Type 4 Mutant Sea Snake hide underneath.

Chapter 681: Collapse!

Yue Zhong was also sent flying back a few meters due to the powerful skill.
Bai Xiao Sheng, who had already evolved into a Strength and Agility dual-attribute Evolver shot towards Wilson with a cold look, bringing his blade down.
"Trash! Die!" Wilson's attack was broken and his eyes burned with a furious gaze. He pointed towards Bai Xiao Sheng, sending another 4 air blades towards him.
A suffocating pressure enveloped Bai Xiao Sheng and his face fell as he slashed out with blade beams, while retreating quickly.
The 4 air blades managed to breach his attacks and landed on his body. One in particular actually pierced through the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide on his body, leaving a deep wound as fresh blood flowed from his shoulder.
Bai Xiao Sheng looked at Wilson with a look of shock, "Strong!! This is an Apostle of the Kingdom of God? Truly on another level!"
Yue Zhong had led his troops to launch a night raid on the 2 Apostles the other time, and it was due to Yin Shuang that managed to fend off one of the Apostles, while the rest of the soldiers had injured the other Apostle.
As Yin Shuang was tied up with the Type 3 Mutant Beast, these 2 Apostles had appeared with their incredible fighting prowess, and none of Yue Zhong's subordinates could handle them.
It was precisely because of the Apostles' strengths that the Kingdom of God was able to expand in so many areas. As long as an Apostle appeared in a local area, there would be almost no trouble whatsoever. Each of them was on par with an entire elite battalion. They could single-handedly destroy a faction of 10,000 with no problems.
Yue Zhong retreated slightly, his eyes flashing and he barked, "Qing Wu! Do it!!"
A 2m-tall blue, human-shaped biological armor suddenly appeared with a 1.5m-long blade, slashing at Wilson with a bright green blade beam.
"Fast!!" Wilson's face finally fell, and he even felt a sense of danger for the first time. He was forced to retreat, his right hand extending out. 7 sharp blades of wind that could pierce through even the hulls of armored vehicles fired at the blue armor.
Ji Qing Wu was controlling the Biological Armor within, and she did not dodge the incoming air blades, instead, her eyes flashed with a hint of madness. Her blade came slashing down, slicing apart 2 wind blades before she continued towards Wilson.
The remaining 5 wind blades landed on the blue Biological Armor, and caused deep gashes, but ultimately not slicing through nor damaging the suit.
Wilson flipped his hands, and a bright shield appeared, blocking in front of him.
The terrifying blade came slashing down on the white shield and split it apart. As the blade continued through its trajectory, Wilson's Level 4 Defense Vest was sliced through, and his right arm was chopped off.
Ji Qing Wu had chosen to strengthen her sword Qi as her path. Her selected Job was the Swordsman, which allowed her to evolve her skill into the Level 4 Sword Radiance. After enhancing sure-kill skill, when she activated it, it was truly unbridled and uninhibited, slashing through the Type 4 Mutant Beast hide like it was nothing.
However, in training this skill, there was a requirement, which was to give up all long-range attacks. After Ji Qing Wu learned this skill, she had no way of picking up any other long-distance skills through the system.
"AH!!! IT HURTS!!! IT HURTS!!" Wilson's face was contorted in pain as he grabbed what remained of his right shoulder, and a huge pocket of air blew him up into the sky.
Ji Qing Wu eyed Wilson coldly as he was forced away by her.
At the next instant, an Empowered bullet shot through the skies, blasting at Wilson.
Wilson suppressed the pain and conjured another shield, forcefully defending against that shot.
"Wade, retreat!!" Wilson roared out, as he commanded the air around him to propel him through the sky.
"It's too dangerous, these uncouth yellow monkeys are truly something, seems like we need the 1st Apostle here." Wade's heart was shocked, and he abandoned the rest of the KoG soldiers, rushing into the distance.
These Apostles were truly strong, but they were more afraid of death than most others. As long as they remained alive, they could enjoy life's pleasures, but if they were to die, they would have nothing.
And since each and every Apostle was an important tool of the Kingdom of God, the KoG would not blame them. Even if they decided not to be in the KoG anymore, they could easily become high-ranking members of any other factions. Under such circumstances, with the exception of a few Apostles, the rest were all selfish, and once they felt any danger to their lives, they would choose to retreat.
"They fled real quick!" Yue Zhong watched as Wilson and Wade both abandoned everything with such decisiveness and was shocked.
The escape of the 2 Apostles caused much mayhem and chaos within the Kingdom of God soldiers. The remaining Divine Envoys and Envoys-in-waiting immediately fled as well.
The Judges and Adjudicators were plunged into despair, and some became enraged and fought with more vigor, while others threw their weapons down to surrender. Some chose to flee.
As Yue Zhong was intending to execute all of them, the troops of the Alliance fell back from their defense post like a surge of flood waters.
The Alliance was not comparable to the troops of Yue Zhong, and they were already holding on with all their might. After Zhang Jian Xing was assassinated by Erek, the troops crumbled without command.
Zheng Da Long and Su Xing He were both peak level Evolvers with impressive fighting strength, however, the brains behind most of the operations on the ground had been Zhang Jian Xing. With the death of the 'brains', the huge troop was easily swatted around by the Mutant Beast horde.
The thousands of soldiers of the Alliance fled in different directions, chasing behind them were the Mutant Beasts.
"AH!! NO!!! AHH!!! AH!!!" One soldier ran slower than the rest, and dozens of Mutant Rats immediately pounced onto him, knocking him to the ground. In an instant, countless Mutant Rats came scurrying, completely burying him out of sight.
When they left, there was only a pile of bloodied bones.
A Type 2 Mutant Bullfrog of about 4m-tall continued to hop quickly, its elongated tongue shooting out once in awhile to latch onto some unfortunate soldiers, sucking them into its mouth. It then clamped down hard with its mutated sharp teeth, crushing the soldiers before gobbling them.
Zheng Da Long and Su Xing He fled quickly, and they instantly jumped over the rest of the soldiers, making their way out of town.
As Zheng Da Long was about to escape successfully, the castle-like Mutant Giant Turtle activated its innate ability, firing out a terrifying mist of frost.
Wherever the mist touched, everything would be frozen solid in an instant, turning into shiny ice sculptures. Zheng Da Long was caught in the mist, and he immediately froze. Within the ice sculpture, his expression of shock could be seen.
Su Xing He saw this and his face turned pale. With a flicker of his body, he disappeared into a house within the town.
By now, the entire town had been surrounded by the Mutant Beasts. Those soldiers that tried to flee out were easily picked off.
Under such circumstances, the Alliance soldiers could only flee towards the defense post of Yue Zhong's troops as it was the safest.
The disorder caused the soldiers of the Alliance and Kingdom of God to be squeezed together, and both immediately engaged in a slaughter among themselves.
Yue Zhong took a look at the chaos and his eyes blazed with fury, "The Kingdom of God is truly damnable!"
Originally, the Alliance and Yue Zhong's troops could still somewhat hold off the Mutant Beast Horde. However, the balance was broken because of the interference of the Kingdom of God, and even Yue Zhong's troops were plunged into danger. If they were not careful, Yue Zhong's troops might end up being annihilated.
"Save me! Let me through!"
"Help!!
The soldiers of the Alliance rushed past the KoG soldiers and tried to plead with the soldiers of Yue Zhong. Behind them were the Mutant Beasts, and in front of them was dense gunfire. They could only beg Yue Zhong for help.
Yue Zhong went to a corner and roared out, "ALL OF YOU COME HERE! Put down your weapons and get in orderly!"
The soldiers of the Alliance all heaved a sigh of relief and came to the designated point to put down their weapons.
The Judges and Adjudicators of the Kingdom of God also raised their hands and called out, "We surrender! We surrender!!"
Being abandoned by the 2 Apostles, those elite soldiers of the KoG felt despair, they didn't want to die in the jaws of those Mutant Beasts as well.
These elites of the Kingdom of God might be Aryans but they were also humans and feared death just like anyone else. After being deserted by their leaders, their fighting spirit plunged.
Yue Zhong pondered a while and chose to accept the surrender of the KoG elites, "Come over here, and put down your weapons, before lining up orderly."

Chapter 682: Fierce Battle with the Type 3s!

The KoG elites also began to put down their weapons and submitted to Yue Zhong.
At this time, the Mutant Giant Turtle turned its head and looked at Yue Zhong's side. It opened its huge mouth and shot out the freezing mist again.
As the cold air churned, a number of elites of the KoG and soldiers from the 3rd Brigade froze solid.
Yue Zhong glanced at the Mutant Giant Turtle and hollered, "Fire the cannons!!"
Hong! Hong! Hong!
A number of heavy cannons immediately rained down upon the area that the Mutant Giant Turtle was at, blasting dozens of the Type 2 Mutant Beasts around it into pieces.
As the dust cleared, a huge chunk of ice appeared in Yue Zhong's eyes. Within it, the Type 3 Mutant Giant Turtle was uninjured, it was just that the ice was shattered all around it.
The Type 3 Mutant Giant Turtle was extremely slow, and even at its maximum speed, it was only about 10 times faster than an ordinary human. However, its innate ice ability was extremely strong, using it to turn other Type 3 Mutant Beasts into ice, and as defense, it can wrap itself such that even cannons could not damage it.
Even so, withstanding that volley of attacks had depleted much of the Type 3 Mutant Giant Turtle's ability, and it could not utilize its innate ability for the time being.
On the other side, the Type 3 Mutant Dog had finally been defeated by Yin Shuang as its corpse dropped into the town. A number of soldiers quickly came forward to bring the body away to deal with it.
Every single part of the Type 3 Mutant Dog was a treasure, and Yue Zhong would not allow it to be devoured by other Mutant Beasts.
When the Type 3 Mutant Dog was killed by Yin Shuang, the Type 3 Lykoi and Type 3 Gold-scaled Rat King charged at her.
"Great! Since you're all Father's enemies, I'll pummel all of you!!" Yin Shuang watched the approaching Type 3 Mutant Beasts and her beautiful eyes flashed with an excitement. The battle lust in her blood boiled, and her entire being leaped into the air, bringing her fist whistling towards the claws of the 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts.
Following a terrifying shockwave, the Type 3 Mutant Lykoi and Gold-scaled Rat King were both sent flying by Yin Shuang, and they both spat out blood.
Shockingly, these 2 close combat-type Mutant Beasts were not a match for Yin Shuang even after joining hands.
Just as Yin Shuang blasted the 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts back, the huge Type 3 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar turned its attention to her and opened its mouth to fire its innate ability. It was a powerful soundwave that was condensed into a ball like a cannon that hurtled towards Yin Shuang.
Without enough time to react, Yin Shuang bore the full brunt of the soundwave, and her little figure trembled slightly, losing control for the first time.
The Type 3 Black-spotted Spider immediately sprang forth and channeled its own ability, which was its silk, turning into spikes even sharper and tougher than steel beams.
As Yin Shuang was still reeling from the soundwave, her body was numb and she could not control herself. At the next moment, those silk spikes shot and pierced into her. While her defense was terrifying enough to block the impact of guns and cannons, faced with those sharp spikes, she was helpless.
"It hurts!! It hurts!! Father, I'm in pain!!" Yin Shuang's face contorted in pain when she was pierced by those spider silk, and tears flowed down her cheeks, while blood trickled from her lips.
The current state that Yin Shuang was in right now was pitiful, just like a doll that had been toyed with till it was ragged.
The Type 3 Black-spotted Spider tugged once forcefully, pulling Yin Shuang towards it.
Suddenly, there was a large burst of flames in the skies, turning the spider silks into cinders.
Yue Zhong appeared by Yin Shuang's side and held her tightly in his arms. He saw the numerous wounds caused by the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider, and the frail-looking Yin Shuang, his expression full of heartache as he spoke, "I'm sorry Yin Shuang, I came late!"
Yin Shuang didn't look like a fierce monster that could punch 2 Mutant Beasts away right now, instead, she looked like a broken little girl.
Yin Shuang saw Yue Zhong's face and her eyes lit up with happiness, "You're not late Father. Father is really Yin Shuang's hero! Yin Shuang loves Father a lot!"
"Turn to ash!" Yue Zhong turned to face the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider and with a ferocious look, he sent a terrifying tornado of Devil Flames towards the Mutant Beast.
At the same time, a number of laser beams fired at the other Type 3 Mutant Beasts, preventing them from assisting the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider.
The Type 3 Black-spotted Spider seemed to sense the imminent threat of death and opened its mouth to spit out a huge amount of silk that was even tougher than alloy towards the approaching flames.
As the spider silk came in contact with the flaming tornado, it instantly sizzled and turned to ash, and soon, the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider was also enveloped by the flames.
As the flames disappeared, there was only a Beast Nuclei on the ground.
After killing the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider in a single strike, 2 gusts of wind blew towards him forcefully, as the Type 3 Lykoi and Type 3 Gold-scaled King Rat charged at him with a terrifying speed. Their claws made to slash towards his head with the speed of sound. Currently, Yue Zhong's arms were wrapped around Yin Shuang, and he had no means of facing the 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts at the same time.
Right at this time, from the dark, a small odachi slashed out with a profound beam, slashing onto the Type 3 Lykoi.
In a flash, Tenpyo Saka was knocked back dozens of meters by the immense strength of the Type 3 Lykoi. Her odachi was also sent flying away. After all, her strength was far from the Type 3 Mutant Beasts.
However, the strike of the Type 3 Lykoi was also deflected by Tenpyo Saka.
At this time, Ji Qing Wu came slashing down on the Type 3 Lykoi with her blue Biological Armor, and the mighty sword beam sliced the Type 3 Lykoi in half.
A blue treasure box appeared beside the corpse of the Type 3 Lykoi, and the Beast Nucleus was sent flying into Yin Shuang's hands.
Yin Shuang looked at the nucleus, and her eyes flashed with a gleam. She threw the nucleus into her mouth and began to chomp on it. The nucleus that was impervious to even the slash of Ji Qing Wu was crushed into pieces by Yin Shuang before she swallowed it.
The moment she consumed the Type 3 Nucleus, Yin Shuang's wounds that were caused by the Type 3 Black-spotted Spider began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, her body also grew about 1cm.
On the other side, facing the slash of the Type 3 Gold-scaled Rat King, Yue Zhong flipped his available hand, causing a shield of light to appear and block the strike forcefully.
After taking that single hit, the shield of light shattered.
"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong took the chance and raised his right hand to fire out a beam of fiery hot Devil Flame that condensed into a spear-form that penetrated the head of the Type 3 Gold-scaled Rat King, before combusting within and frying its brain.
As they eliminated these few Type 3 Mutant Beasts, the Type 3 Iron Bull managed to breach the area where the cannons were firing upon and galloped into the town.
A number of laser beams that fired from all directions formed a net that pierced the body of the Type 3 Iron Bull, turning it into a sieve. A few beams penetrated its head, and halfway through its charge, it slumped to the floor, and it became the first Type 3 Mutant Beast that perished at the hands of ordinary soldiers.
As it fell, from behind, the Type 3 Ferocious Ape came leaping forward together with the Type 3 Mutant Black Gorilla. These 2 Type 3 Mutant Beasts had no innate abilities, but their Strength, Speed, Recovery, and Defense were on another level, and they didn't seem to have any weak points.
The Type 3 Ferocious Ape charged into the camp of Yue Zhong's troops and with a single palm, it slapped many soldiers dead. When the laser beams landed on its body, they only caused minor wounds. It wasn't enough to endanger its life.
The Type 3 Black Gorilla pounced over to Yue Zhong.
From a distance away, the Type 3 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar had also come to a stop, as it opened its mouth to fire a soundwave blast at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong had already experienced the might of such an attack before, and the moment the Type 3 Black-scaled Ferocious Boar opened its mouth, he had activated his Shadow Steps and dodged to the side.
The soundwave also had its weak point, which was that it could only travel in a straight trajectory, and could not be manipulated to turn.
The soundwave blast landed in an area, causing a number of the elite soldiers to bleed from their orifices and die. They were not as hardy as Yin Shuang after all.
Yue Zhong had just moved, when the Type 3 Black Gorilla appeared in front of him, its fist punching towards him with the pressure of Mt. Tai.
Right at this moment, Yin Shuang leaped up from Yue Zhong's embrace and lifted her tiny fists to meet the punch from the Type 3 Black Gorilla.
Hong!
Following a powerful impact, the Type 3 Black Gorilla was sent flying about 5 meters, while Yin Shuang also flew back about 7 to 8 meters.

Chapter 683: Su Xing He joins!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Ji Qing Wu controlled the Biological Armor to step down, her leg leaping onto the head of the Type 3 Mutant Black Gorilla. She then controlled the huge sword in her hand to pierce down into its head.
The mighty Sword Radiance tore a hole into the skull of the Type 3 Mutant Black Gorilla, slicing its brain into two.
With a flicker, Ji Qing Wu disappeared from on top of the Type 3 Mutant Black Gorilla.
The massive Mutant Beast that was the size of a fortress slumped down lifelessly.
The other Type 3 Ferocious Ape suddenly appeared in front of Yue Zhong, swinging its mighty fist at him.
The speed of the Type 3 Ferocious Ape was too fast, Yue Zhong had no way of dodging.
His eyes flashed, and a thick Dark Dou Qi enveloped his entire body. In a blink, he used his Shadow Steps, reaching speeds exceeding the sound barrier. He twisted and leaped backward, at the same time, pulling out his Flame Blade to slash the fist of the Type 3 Ferocious Ape.
The sharp Flame Blade managed to slice the fist of the Type 3 Ferocious Ape, leaving a deep gash.
Yue Zhong himself was also sent flying back from the recoil, the Flame Blade also flying out of his grasp.
As he flew back, the Devil Flames in his hand congealed into the shape of a spear, and he flung it with all his might. The Devil Flame Spear shot towards the head of the Type 3 Ferocious Ape, exploding upon impact and enveloping its head, frying its brain into cinders.
With its death, the total number of Type 3 Mutant Beasts dwindled down to 3, the Mutant Giant Turtle, the Black-scaled Ferocious Boar, and the Type 3 Red Leopard.
The strange Beast atop the Type 3 Red Leopard looked towards Yue Zhong coldly and frowned.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
The intense volley of cannon fire continued without stopping, blasting countless Mutant Beasts into pieces. At the same time, due to the death of the Type 3 Gold-scaled Rat King, the sea of Mutant Rats were broken apart, as the critters began to flee in different directions.
The remaining Mutant Beasts were also baptized by the laser beams that met them right after the blanketing artillery fire.
Upon seeing all these, the strange Beast atop the Type 3 Red Leopard let out a shrill howl.
When they heard the howl, the rest of the Mutant Beasts quickly retreated like a flood.
The strange Beast eyed Yue Zhong deeply, before turning around and disappeared into the night.
"Seems like yet another terrifying opponent has appeared!" Yue Zhong watched the retreating Mutant Beasts and his brows furrowed.
This time, in order to fight back the Mutant Horde, Yue Zhong had brought along a large amount of ammunition. Had they continued to surge forwards, he could easily wipe them out.
Since he held the upper hand, as long as they held out till daytime, he could even call for the reinforcements of the assault helicopters to rain hell upon the Mutant Beasts.
Now that the Mutant Beasts chose to retreat, he was full of trepidation. In fact, the Mutant Beasts were stronger than zombies, if they also had a commander with a human-like intelligence, it would be a terrifying thing.
The ordinary soldiers did not consider so much, the moment they saw the retreat of the Mutant Beasts, all of them erupted in cheers, and they knew they had fended off their enemies successfully once again.
Bai Xiao Sheng appeared by Yue Zhong's side, wrapped in gauze, as he asked, "Leader, do we continue towards the granary?"
Yue Zhong's eyes turned cold as he replied, "No! We will eradicate the Greater China Alliance now. They dare to work together with the Kingdom of God, what imbeciles! If we let them live, they will pose a problem to us."
This time, due to their collusion, Yue Zhong's troops had suffered greatly. Hu-er Ran's 3rd Brigade had lost over 600 men.
After all, the 3rd Brigade only had 3,000 men at first, they were all made up of old veterans that had followed Hu-er Ran through countless battles.
600 elites who had abundant experience were killed off in this battle, and this was a huge blow to Hu-er Ran's forces. Other than the 3rd Brigade, Yue Zhong also lost another 20 Evolvers to the 2 Apostles. If it wasn't for capturing these huge elite force of the KoG, Yue Zhong could have been considered to have suffered a great loss as well.
The most important point was that Zhang Jian Xing was the core of the Alliance's military. With his death, the Alliance only had 4,000 soldiers left. They were basically a motley bunch without a capable leader.
After resting an entire day, Yue Zhong sent out his troops to transport the numerous Mutant Beasts corpses behind and sent the injured soldiers back. As to the corpses of his enemies, they were fed to the Mother Tree, becoming its nourishment. Yue Zhong would only respect his own soldiers, while he had no mercy nor pity for his enemies.
At the same time, he deployed troops towards the base of the Alliance. He was still of the idea of co-existing with the Alliance. However, after everything, the Alliance was basically helpless against him. He also did not want to leave this cancer to fester.
Su Xing He saw that Yue Zhong's army had dropped all notions of advancing towards the granary, and his heart sank, "Is he finally going to act against the Alliance? There's no one who can stop him now."
Su Xing He was one of the upper echelons of the Alliance and knew the capabilities of the soldiers. Having lost their general, there was no one else who could lead them. Most of the commanders inside had obtained their posts through connections, and while they could somewhat deal with zombies in towns, fighting Yue Zhong's troops was a different thing altogether.
After pondering for a long while, his eyes shone with a resolute gleam, "That's right. This is also a chance. Once he swallows the Alliance, there will be no one who can stop his expansion in the North. It might not be just a dream for him to unite the entire country anymore. If I join him now, I might be part of the founding team."
With Su Xing He's strength, it wasn't difficult to gather a few hundred people and become his own local warlord. However, he wasn't happy with just doing something on such a small scale. He knew that even if he did so, and could possibly enjoy himself in some remote corner, once Yue Zhong succeeded in conquering the country, he would not allow Su Xing He's faction to exist anymore. Even if he were a peak-level Evolver, facing all the peak-level Evolvers of the country, he wasn't much.
Having learned something in life, Su Xing He had been a director before the apocalypse as well. He was clear on the splendor and allure of power and authority. He wanted to become an official, and thus, he decided to join Yue Zhong.
Su Xing He was led by a soldier to Yue Zhong, before respectfully greeting him, "Leader Yue Zhong, I'm Su Xing He, I hope to be of assistance to Leader."
Yue Zhong eyed the man in front of him, his eyes flashing, "You're that Su Xing He? One of the 5 heads of the Greater China Alliance?"
Yue Zhong had not expected that one of the 5 leaders would take the initiative to submit to him.
"Yes!" Su Xing He chuckled, before he revealed his cards, "I am able to hand the entire Alliance to you."
"While the leader to the rest is Ximen Tian Xiong, the true pillar is Zhang Jian Xing. Because of his death, while the Alliance might still exist, it would never be a match for you. However, there're a number of experts within. If you were to still forcefully swallow the Alliance, you might suffer some casualties as well."
"Furthermore, those who will suffer will be the ordinary citizens. If you were to attack the Alliance, most of the survivors would suffer. In this current world, humans are the most precious resource. I know Leader you wouldn't want to see too many deaths as well. As long as you pass the responsibility of convincing the Alliance to me, I will make sure to deliver." Su Xing He spoke, a hint of fervor in his eyes.
Yue Zhong also agreed that Su Xing He had a point, and he chuckled, "Fine! What would you want?"
Su Xing He's eyes were practically ablaze by now, "I know Leader your current system is martial law. I hope to be able to become a Lieutenant Colonel and help to lead troops in your stead. Other than that, I would like to recommend Chan Wei Hua to be a major as well. Both of us are peak Evolvers, and we can definitely be swords for you."
Yue Zhong saw the fiery ambition in Su Xing He's gaze and laughed slightly, "Alright! I'll promise you. As long as you can hand the Alliance to me, I will grant your wish."
The positions of a Lieutenant Colonel and a Major in exchange for over a dozen thousands of survivors as well as 2 peak level Evolvers was too good for Yue Zhong to pass up on.
Su Xing He replied, "Thank you, Leader! I hope that as I conduct the operation, you will assign me troops to assist in the plan. Only with sufficient pressure, I will be able to ensure the Alliance listens."
"Ok!"
Yue Zhong's troops continued to push towards the Alliance, causing them to fall into panic. Some people who were smarter knew that the death of their general Zhang Jian Xing meant that the Alliance was helpless against Yue Zhong.
"Yue Zhong is reaching, what do we do?" Within a secret base, Chan Wei Hua summoned his people and asked.

Chapter 684: Swallowing the Alliance!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
One small-time leader looked at Chan Wei Hua and said, "Brother, Yue Zhong's army is too fearsome. We're not his match. Most of the Alliance's fighting force had been annihilated, even Zhang Jian Xing had died. There's no hope in staying here, let's flee! With our strength, even if we leave here, we can find a corner to live it out well!"
"That's right! Brother, Yue Zhong is truly too powerful, we're not his match! Let's flee!"
"Yea, Brother. If you're worried about the rations, we can go and steal some before leaving."
One by one, the various ringleaders spoke up, none of them were willing to stay behind to fight it out with Yue Zhong.
Chan Wei Hua listened to them and his eyes lit up. He knew that it was suicide intending to fight against Yue Zhong. However, he had over 40 beauties under his wing. As for the rest of them, some had at the very least one or two, while the most could have a dozen. If they were to all flee, just their women would reach a few hundred.
Such a huge troop would not be able to escape the grasp of Yue Zhong's army. Chan Wei Hua knew that it was difficult for him to bring his troops to flee. The moment he attacked, other than a few experts, the rest would be forced to stay. His women would not be free as well.
"Why should you run?"
Right at this time, a voice traveled over, and the moment it sounded, everyone in the room became wary, turning to the direction.
Su Xing He stepped into the room and revealed a smile.
Chan Wei Hua's eyes narrowed to a slit, as his entire body became tense. He was like a leopard ready to pounce as he stared at Su Xing He in wariness, "Su Xing He, I want to leave, are you intending to stop me?"
Su Xing He continued to smile, "No! If you want to leave, by all means. However, I have got a suggestion. Who knows, after my words, you might not want to leave anymore."
Chan Wei Hua saw that Su Xing He had no intentions of stopping him and heaved a sigh of relief. Su Xing He was also a peak level Evolver, and if both parties were to engage in a fight, they would likely draw. He had no intentions of fighting it out with Su Xing He.
Chan Wei Hua's eyes flashed as he spoke, "Su Xing He, Yue Zhong's reach is extensive. Even Zhang Jian Xing and the Kingdom of God couldn't do anything to him after teaming up. Such a fearsome person is not someone we can handle. No matter what you say, I will not stay. It's practically suicide. DO you want to leave with me? With our strength, we can carve something out for ourselves."
Su Xing He was also an Evolver, and if a faction had 2 such powerhouses as their core, they could deal with plenty of situations. As long as it wasn't a Mutant Beast wave or a zombie horde, they could handle themselves.
Su Xing He laughed lightly, "Why should we leave? Can't we just join Yue Zhong?"
"Join him?" Chan Wei Hua immediately sunk into thoughts. He was worried about Yue Zhong hunting him that he never thought about submitting to him.
"Wei Hua, if you want to flee now, you're free to do so. Based on your strength, it's possible to go to a small village and be the local tyrant. However, did you stop to think, Yue Zhong's influence will only continue to grow. Once he had conquered everywhere, you will need to recede your territory even further, otherwise, he will send troops to wipe you out. Till when will you continue to live like that?"
"Plus, you can only do so much alone. There's still the issue about the zombie horde, the Mutant Beasts, rations, etc. Without a proper base, you can only continue to flee, and nothing else but flee. In the end, other than you, there will be a few dozen brothers. Those without enough strength will perish. Is such a lifestyle what you guys want?"
"Yue Zhong has already conquered the Central Plains and over 5 or 6 major cities. He has established the running of factories and farming, as well as a currency system and a working government. He is the only warlord with the most potential of uniting the entire country. Since he's still in the initial stages, if we were to join him now, after contributing, we might become founding fathers. Our future generations will stand to bask in our glory and achievements. If you don't want to choose this path and rather pursue a dog-like life, by all means. You can continue to cower in fear and live in the uncertainty of being swallowed by some other power, or killed by a wave of Mutant Beasts." Su Xing He rattled on and on with a strong logical reasoning.
Hearing his words, Chan Wei Hua's expression seemed to perk up. He looked towards his subordinates and noticed that they were all swayed by his argument already.
After all, everyone wanted to live a better life. No one liked to live like strays, living day to day.
Chan Wei Hua wasn't an idiot, he thought for a while and asked, "Su Xing He, you've already joined him, right?"
Su Xing He chuckled, "That's right! I am a Lieutenant Colonel within his army now."
Chan Wei Hua's subordinates looked at him with envy. Having become a Lt. Col. under Yue Zhong, his status was different.
Chan Wei Hua frowned and asked, "Then what if I join Yue Zhong?"
Su Xing He replied, "If you join him, you get to keep all your private possessions. As long as you have the ability to feed your 40 women, you can continue doing so. At the same time, you will be a major under Yue Zhong, and in charge of an infantry battalion."
Chan Wei Hua's frown deepened, "A Major rank? Isn't it too low?"
Although he was secretly satisfied with the arrangements, he wanted to try his luck in haggling. Mainly because he was unhappy with being under Su Xing He. However, he was extremely clear that Su Xing He had taken the initiative to submit first, that was why he got the longer end of the stick.
Su Xing He revealed a cruel smile, "If you want to gain a better position, you'll need to prove yourself. If you can join me and present the entire Alliance to Yue Zhong, you'll naturally gain a better position.
Chan Wei Hua swiftly made his decision, "Ok! Su Xing He, I'll work with you in bringing the Alliance to Yue Zhong!"
Within a meeting hall of the Alliance's headquarters, Ximen Tian Xiong and the rest of the upper echelons had gathered for a meeting, discussing how to deal with Yue Zhong.
Inside the hall, many of the officials were giving their own opinions, and everyone's faces were downcast. No one felt that they could withstand Yue Zhong's assault.
Ximen Tian Xiong listened to their discussion, his heart heavy as he asked, "What's going on? How come Chan Wei Hua isn't here yet?"
"I'm here! Sorry for being late!" Following a bright laughter, Chan Wei Hua and Su Xing He walked into the hall together.
Ximen Tian Xiong watched them enter together and a premonition arose in his heart. His brows furrowed.
Chan Wei Hua had a carefree look as he looked at everyone, "Don't panic, I've come with the method of dealing with Yue Zhong."
Ximen Tian Xiong was shocked and asked in curiosity, "What is it?"
The rest of the people also turned their gazes to Chan Wei Hua.
"The method is, to let Ximen Tian Xiong die!" Chan Wei Hua laughed indifferently, and a coin shot out like a cannon, piercing Ximen Tian Xiong in the head.
There was a look of shock on Ximen Tian Xiong's face as his body slumped to the ground lifelessly.
Su Xing He instantly exploded out with 10 pieces of steel that pierced the 6 guards beside Ximen Tian Xiong. They were caught unprepared, and although they weren't weak Evolvers, they were still assassinated by Su Xing He.
At the same time, there was gunfire from outside, as Su Xing He and Chan Wei Hua's forces launched a swift assault on the soldiers of Ximen Tian Xiong. Under that sudden attack, Ximen Tian Xiong's forces were annihilated.
The rest of the upper echelons watched the proceedings in horror and shock, not knowing what to do. Under the heavy suppression of Chan Wei Hua and Su Xing He, they didn't dare to move.
Chan Wei Hua turned to survey everyone present and chuckled, "Don't worry, those who want to live better listen up! Su Xing He and I have submitted to Yue Zhong. We hope that everyone can cooperate, otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless."
Everyone saw that Ximen Tian Xiong had already died, and they had no intentions of rebelling, looking on quietly as Chan Wei Hua and Su Xing He cleared the close buddies of Ximen Tian Xiong.
After eradicating all potential trouble, Su Xing He sent someone to handle the Alliance while sending someone else to invite Yue Zhong's army in.
Chan Wei Hua immediately saluted Yue Zhong in respect when he saw him, "Chan Wei Hua greets Leader Yue Zhong, and is willing to serve!"
Yue Zhong chuckled, "Well done! Chan Wei Hua, from now on, you're promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!"
Chan Wei Hua was delighted, and responded enthusiastically, "Thank you, Leader!!"
Yue Zhong stared at him and said, "Chan Wei Hua, since you're already my subordinate, you have to follow my rules. My army is a proper one, not one that anyhow does things. Military men have to abide by the military laws, is that clear?"
Chan Wei Hua's heart turned cold, "Yes!"
Su Xing He came up to Yue Zhong and reported, "Leader, I have someone here, whom I think you'll be interested to meet."

Chapter 685: Negotiations!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong assessed the bespectacled and civil-looking man, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man replied, "I'm called Cheng Zi Ming, I used to work at the 2nd Satellite Base near the capital before the apocalypse."
"Satellite base?" Yue Zhong was jolted when he heard that, and he asked hurriedly, "Do you remember the location of the base?"
Cheng Zi Ming was clear that this was a moment of potential rewards, and he replied, "I do. I can lead you there."
Yue Zhong's face broke out into a smile, "Good! Cheng Zi Ming, as long as I can obtain that base, I will reward you."
Satellites were useful in modern warfare. With enough of them, the entire earth could be displayed. Since most satellites were focused on major cities, the movements of large armies could not escape detection.
Any faction that gained control over satellites would gain a huge advantage. Other than, satellites enabled telecommunication across the globe. It was possible to locate positions and do many other things.
The Kingdom of God had such a strong expansion at the start throughout the globe because of their control over the satellites early on. With them, they could pass messages, and ensure communication as well as an understanding of the various situations. Without them, in a world where many types of equipment had failed, the Kingdom of God could not have planned and executed their plans properly.
Cheng Zi Ming's face lit up in joy, "Thank you, Leader!"
Yue Zhong looked at Su Xing He and praised, "Well done, Commander Su Xing He."
Regardless of character or efficiency, Su Xing He was truly outstanding. He understood what Yue Zhong needed and attended to it extremely well. If there were any cons, it would be that he was unlike Li Guang and Bai Xiao Sheng in their loyalty towards him.
If Yue Zhong's faction were to deteriorate, and another powerful faction appeared, Su Xing He would likely sell him out and join the other faction, just like how he betrayed the Alliance so easily.
Su Xing He grinned humbly, "Thank you for your praise, Leader!"
Su Xing He had already made his decision to help Yue Zhong in establishing his rule, and he would naturally bring forth all he had to offer.
Yue Zhong nodded and headed out.
After gaining the intelligence about the satellite base, he wasn't in a hurry to rush out. Instead, he began to reorganize the Alliance troops. In addition to his captives, there were a total of 10,000 able-bodied men now.
From them, he pulled out 3,000 to form the 5th Brigade, with the command falling to Yu Wen Ying. Su Xing He and Chan Wei Hua were drafted into the 5th Brigade as well.
It was a large brigade, and one of the companies was made up of ex-Adjudicators. Just that troop alone was enough to overwhelm the other companies of Su Xing He and Chan Wei Hua. At the same time, Yue Zhong assigned a few loyal commanders to them, ensuring that it would be hard for either of the 2 to sway the soldiers in the companies.
As he was reorganizing the army, Yue Zhong sent the armored division of the 1st Regiment to head to the granary. Food was more precious than gold in the apocalypse. Once he obtained the granary, he would not have to worry about rations in the short run.
The armored division of the 1st Regiment had a smooth journey, only coming across a few Mutant Beasts along the way, and conquered the granary easily. However, half of the rations inside had already been destroyed by the Mutant Beast horde, with many broken bags and piles of excrement lying everywhere. The stench was truly overbearing.
Although most of the granary had been damaged, 10% of it was salvageable.
Yue Zhong thus arranged for the undamaged rations to be transported back to Zhang Kou City, Hohhot City, and Bao Xi City separately.
The huge zombie horde and Mutant Beast wave that had retreated was still a huge threat looming over Yue Zhong's mind. He did not want to leave the rations in a single place.
While that was going on, Yue Zhong sent the newly established 5th Brigade together with the 4th Brigade to clear zombies, slowly expanding his reach towards the capital.
On the other side, the defeat of the Kingdom of God's soldiers reached their headquarters, causing a huge wave among the elders of the KoG.
"Erek that fool, he failed!"
"800 of our kids had actually ended up in that Yue Zhong's hands because of that idiot Erek! What do we do now?"
"Punish that Erek!"
"Correct, punish him! He has to be put to death!"
The council erupted in voices of dissent.
Those 800 Adjudicators and Judges were all Aryans and part of the KoG's fighting force. They were also necessary for the reproduction of their race. With such a force, they could easily conquer a city over at Africa. They could not give up such a force.
As for Yu Wen Ying and the other foreign races, even if they were to be eradicated, the Elder Council would not make a big fuss. After all, it was easy to raise up another unit of these soldiers from their other bases. However, the troops that Erek had led were pure Aryans and precious people.
After all, that 800 soldiers had clashed against the 3,000-strong 3rd Brigade, and they only lost 300 people but managed to kill 600 soldiers of the 3rd Brigade. Furthermore, of the 300 casualties, some had been killed by the Mutant Beasts and the elite Evolvers of Yue Zhong's soldiers. The actual number that fell at the hands of the 3rd Brigade was only about 100.
Without any external assistance, the Aryan unit could easily crush the 3,000-strong 3rd Brigade. That was how strong they were.
The Great Elder Jonas announced with difficulty, "Erek shall be put to death!"
Hearing his words, the rest of the Elders regained their calm.
One Elder asked, "According to Wilson, there's still about 500 of our men in Yue Zhong. What do we do about them?"
"We have to save them!"
"How do we do so? They're already in his hands, if we continue to send people over, it will be just sending them to their deaths."
"India! We need to transfer some soldiers from India to deal with Yue Zhong. India can be considered to be our colony. We can deploy about 100,000 soldiers from there. It should be enough to eradicate Yue Zhong."
"100,000 foreign soldiers, this is the maximum that we can activate from India. Once we deploy them, our strength in India will suffer greatly. If we were to lose, India will also be lost. I am against this idea."
"I'm also against the idea. If we were to deploy troops from India, then we need to transfer some resources over. Just transporting them will take up too much logistics. By then, when we start the assault against Yue Zhong, we will have to devote resources into the battle, and our plan to recover the capital in the city here will be delayed. This is not to our benefit."
"Negotiations! I feel that we should negotiate with him. Since cannons and weapons cannot help us achieve what we want, let's use negotiations!"
"That's right! A powerful, united China may not be to our benefit, but the number of zombies in China is about 1.5 billion. It is a number that Yue Zhong would need at least 10 years to deal with. Our main enemies are the zombies now, not other humans. Although it will be a pity to abandon China, for now, we definitely need to focus our efforts on reclaiming the major cities within our own country!"
The elders were all practical, the moment there didn't seem to be a solution to Yue Zhong, they chose to negotiate.
Jonas also came to a decision after some consideration, "Let Anreit go and negotiate with Yue Zhong to recover our children!'
The orders of the Kingdom of God soon traveled to China, and the branch there responded quickly, sending the envoy to Yue Zhong.
Anreit came up to Yue Zhong and saluted, "How are you, Leader Yue Zhong!"
Yue Zhong saw that it was Anreit and chuckled, "Anreit, it's you? Speak, what's your objective?"
Yue Zhong had negotiated with Anreit once in Vietnam before, and he had even stabbed them in the back viciously.
Anreit knew Yue Zhong's character and immediately got to the point, "Leader Yue Zhong, I hope to buy back the 500 Adjudicators and Judges from your hands. We're willing to use 3,000 assault rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition to exchange for them."
Yue Zhong immediately responded "I want 2 manufacturing lines of the Thunder Fighters, 2 multi-functional battle helmet production lines, as well as 10,000 tonnes of fuel. If you can meet my requirements, I will release them immediately."
The Thunder Fighters and multi-functional battle helmets were great items. Especially the helmets, they provided adequate protection against rifles, and had night vision, navigation, analysis, battlefield scanning and other capabilities.
The Kingdom of God could conduct operations in the night and achieve outstanding results because of the helmets.
Anreit was taken aback and he laughed bitterly, "Leader Yue Zhong. The Thunder Fighters are our newest research, and we only have 5 production lines. It is impossible to give them to you. The helmets can only be produced over in Europe as well. Even if we want to give them to you, we can't port it over."

Chapter 686: Satellite Base!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, "Alright! Get all those factions in China under your Kingdom of God to submit to me, and hand over their weapons and resources, I'll release your men."
The Kingdom of God had many factions within China and were pretty active in China. Of course, even if they were to all work together, they weren't a match for Yue Zhong. However, if they were to react, they still posed a problem. Should Yue Zhong successfully swallow them up, he could truly become the conqueror of China.
Anreit chuckled bitterly again, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to that condition."
The power that the Kingdom of God had in China wasn't small, they had altogether about 27,000 soldiers. Anreit was naturally unwilling to hand them over to Yue Zhong. While most of them were ordinary soldiers, not having undergone any job changes, but they had already undergone tough military training and their combat power was still a notch above most normal soldiers. This was a sizeable force and the Kingdom of God would not give it away so simply.
Yue Zhong's expression turned extremely cold, "Then what the fuck are you here for?"
Anreit turned silent, "I can hand over all the factories from the Outer Mongolia in exchange for those 500 soldiers."
Yue Zhong stared at him, "Military factories?"
"That's right! Outer Mongolia has about 20 ammunition production lines and 15 heavy artillery production lines. They could produce enough for most armored vehicles."
Yue Zhong took the opportunity to propose a counter offer, "Add on another 5,000 rifles, 1,000,000 bullets. I know you can afford that. As for the production lines, you guys will handle the transport. Don't bargain any further."
Anreit grit his teeth and replied, "Fine!"
The troops of the Outer Mongolia had already been defeated by Yue Zhong. Although the KoG still controlled much of the production lines there, they couldn't suppress the local factions for much longer. They had to clear out sooner or later and since that was the case, it was better to hand the lines over to Yue Zhong than to those local militants.
After completing his task, Anreit felt much at ease, "Leader Yue Zhong, the Kingdom of God is extremely interested in the laser gun technology in your hands. They are willing to exchange the production techniques for the Thunder Fighters and Multipurpose Combat Helmet for that technology. This will be beneficial to both our countries, we hope that you can agree."
Yue Zhong immediately refused, "No."
Yue Zhong and the Kingdom of God were on different levels of technology capabilities. Even if he were to gain the secrets of the Thunder Fighter and Multipurpose Combat Helmet, if he wanted to produce them, it was impossible within the next 2 years. After all, manufacturing an aircraft required many materials and time. Without the necessary capabilities, even if he had the blueprints, it was useless.
After the deal was confirmed, both sides started to carry out their ends of the deal.
A large number of production lines were delivered by the Kingdom of God into Yue Zhong's hands.
Yue Zhong received them, together with 5,000 assault rifles, and a million rounds, before releasing the 500 Aryan soldiers back to the Kingdom of God.
After an entire month, Yue Zhong finally managed to empty out the granary storage, and his troops managed to eliminate about 800,000 zombies.
As they neared the capital, the number of zombies were increasing as well. An ordinary county might have a few hundred thousand of them and each time they launched an assault on a county, they would have to expend plenty of ammunition. However, Yue Zhong was not in shortage of production lines now, and in addition to the recently-joined Alliance members, everyday, there was plenty of ammunition produced to support the constant war against the zombies.
With the addition of the Outer Mongolia's production line, Yue Zhong's production speed had increased by a third. Everyday, there was ammunition produced and sent to the frontlines, allowing Yue Zhong's army to be constantly fighting, with more to spare and save.
Qin Yang County was extremely close to the capital and currently, there was a vehicle fleet on its way there. The satellite base was in a location just right outside of Qin Yang County.
Yue Zhong was seated in a Hummer that had been modified, as he looked out the window serenely. He had come on this trip personally in order to obtain this satellite base.
In his mind, the importance of this satellite base was equal, if not higher than, to the missile base. What he had gained within the missile base was not to be used lightly, whereas the potential of the satellite base was going to be extremely useful. All his communications and reconnaissance would level up.
"It's right here!!" Cheng Zi Ming brought Yue Zhong towards a barren mountain that seemed inconspicuous. There was a huge metal door right at the entrance of the mountain.
He pointed to the door and told Yue Zhong, "The base is right below there."
He continued to explain, "In fact, there is a city below, which is extremely huge. When I was here working, the number of personnel was about 3,000. The base is well equipped with all sorts of functions. I think that there might be at least 2,000 zombies within."
Yue Zhong looked at the door and said, "Open the door! Qing Wu!"
Ji Qing Wu put on her Blue Biological Armor and pulled out that large sword, before slashing a few times at the door. A hole was soon carved out.
One Evolver muttered a spell under his breath and stretched out his hands. There was a flash of light, and 8 hunting dogs appeared. He pointed to the door, and the 8 hunting dogs darted into the base.
"Not a problem!" After an hour, the 8 hunting dogs came out and the Evolver looked at them before nodding at Yue Zhong.
Having ensured that there was no danger within, Yue Zhong brought his troops into the tunnel.
Inside the tunnel, there was no light, and Yue Zhong took the lead cautiously.
Behind Yue Zhong, a number of flashlights were switched on.
The party then soon made their way into the city.
They discovered that within the underground city, there were all sorts of structures, just that there was no light, and the entire place looked like an underground tomb.
Yue Zhong surveyed the place and felt wary. He had also entered an underground city back at Ulan Mountain Range and had come across that strange parasitic creature.
He turned to speak to Ji Qing Wu, "Qing Wu, go get some men to guard the entrance, do not let anything escape out. I'll go take a look."
Ji Qing Wu's eyes flashed with worry, "Be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Yue Zhong smiled at her, before carrying Yin Shuang on his back and made his way further into the city.
Yin Shuang had the combat strength of an Apostle, and Yue Zhong had the capabilities to overwhelm an Apostle himself. As long as they were careful and did not meet any Type 5 Mutant Beasts, it was hard for them to fall.
Barren and silence, that was the description for the underground city.
Yue Zhong walked along and could make out several broken windows. There were patches of blood on the ground, and it was obvious that there had been many deaths at the jaws of the zombies during the start of the apocalypse.
The defense was tight in this underground city, but at the same time, it had acted as a huge cage, trapping the people within, preventing them from escaping.
He did not come across any danger but he couldn't help feeling a sense of caution. This was because he had not come across something that he should have already, the zombies. He would rather face tens of thousands of zombies than any of those Mutant Beasts that had intelligence.
Kuang lang!
Just after Yue Zhong passed by a window, suddenly, dozens of S2s leaped out and charged at Yue Zhong.
While he still felt wary, he didn't panic, and swiftly activated his Shadow Steps, slashing out with his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade.
The S2s that pounced over were instantly killed by him.
Just as those S2s were dealt with, a number of L2s charged out from various corners, carrying H1s facing Yue Zhong.
When those H1s opened their mouths, a number of fireballs fired towards Yue Zhong like cannons.
Yue Zhong immediately dodged into a nearby shop when he saw the H1s.
Just as he entered the shop, 3 Type 2 Hunters leaped down from the roof, together with 8 S2s that were hidden within the shop.
This was obviously a strategy that made use of the zombies hidden at every corner. If it were any ordinary Evolver, they could not have dealt with the Type 2 Hunters.
Facing this continuous waves of attack, a nether hole appeared in mid air, and 3 sharp bone spikes shot out from the hole, impaling the 3 Hunters, nailing them to the wall.
Yue Zhong sent out 8 instantaneous slashes, slicing the 8 S2s in halves.
After killing those S2s easily, his eyes flashed with suspicious, "What is going on? When did the intelligence of these zombies evolve to this state? They even know how to set traps?"
Even the smart huge-head Mutant zombie had not thought to do so.
Yue Zhong thought to himself, "What if there's something like that Amaterasu inside here?"
Amaterasu was the only zombie with intelligence that Yue Zhong had encountered. He possessed human-like intelligence as well as a terrifying combat ability. At that time, Yue Zhong had only managed to injure him, instead of killing him. When he thought of the possibility of something similar appearing in China, he was worried.

Chapter 687: The Woman who controls Zombies!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Shatter!! As though under some command, the glass broke everywhere and a number of Type 2 zombies emitting some horrid stench charged into the shop.
Yin Shuang suddenly became blank, and leaped away from Yue Zhong's embrace, jumping out of the shop.
"Yin Shuang!!" Yue Zhong watched Yin Shuang leaving him suddenly and was shocked. He quickly leaped after her.
Yin Shuang was not only the most important combatant under Yue Zhong, but was also a little girl that was extremely reliant on Yue Zhong. He viewed her as family, and seeing such a change in her, he could not help but be flustered.
Yue Zhong had just arrived at that building, when a Devourer that was hiding appeared suddenly, as it opened its jaws and spat out its poisonous gas.
Yue Zhong was taken aback. He quickly stopped his breath, and Devil Flame erupted around him to burn away the poison. He quickly slashed out at the Devourer, slicing it into 2.
"Not good! I inhaled some!!" Yue Zhong had killed the Devourer easily, but he realized his cells were starting to break down, as a dark poisonous mist emitted from his body. He was also started to lose consciousness.
The toxicity of the Devourer was extremely horrific, if it had been anyone else, they would have instantly turned into a zombie. Yue Zhong could withstand the change because of his high Vitality. Even so, his cells were fighting against the infection with all their might. He might be a Vitality-based Evolver, but his body was still not immune to infection.
At this critical juncture, Yue Zhong bit down on his lips harshly. The pain jolted him awake and he quickly retrieved his G-Type Cure, quickly injecting its contents into his body.
The moment the contents were absorbed, Yue Zhong felt his blood regaining its vigor and flow.
At that moment, 8 S2s pounced upon him, intending to bite down at his body.
His hands lit up in flames, as his powerful Devil Flame burst forth, enveloping the 8 S2s.
When the flames died down, only ashes remained, the 8 S2s had disappeared entirely.
"Ah! Blue Treasure Box!" After wiping out those 8 S2s, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief and was about to continue up the stairs when he noticed a blue treasure box beside the corpse of the Devourer.
Yue Zhong was overjoyed and picked it up.
The Blue Treasure Box was extremely rare, even higher grade than the Green ones. At the early stages when there were a few Type 3 Mutant Beasts, they tended to drop a few. However, the world had mutated to a state where even killing those Type 3 monsters might not guarantee any drops. Most of the boxes that appeared were Green, and Blue ones were rare.
Yue Zhong obtained a Blue Treasure Box from the Devourer, this caused him to be happy.
With a flash, a pair of wings of about 7m wide appeared in his hands. They were black in color, seemingly made up of some metal alloy, their edges sharp like blades, and the entire pair of wings was covered in mysterious runes, with a round pocket in the center.
"Level 6 Treasure, Dark Wind Alloy Wings, able to block bullets of 14.5mm. Upon equipping, allows the user to glide for a short distance from 20m above the ground. Once provided with a Type 3 Nuclei, the user can use the wings to fly. Can reach a maximum speed of sound barrier. Consumes energy for nucleus while flying."
"Good treasure!" Yue Zhong looked at the Dark Wind Alloy Wings and his eyes lit up with excitement. With this, he could fly and still battle in the skies.
After all, there weren't many Evolvers that could fly. Of the Evolvers under Yue Zhong, they numbered over 2,000, yet there were only 3 who could fly. One of them was a wind-controller, the other were air-controllers. In fact, they weren't really flying, just using their abilities to send their bodies into the skies. However, it could not be maintained for long, at most, they could do so for 5 minutes.
Having gained this Dark Wind Alloy Wings, it could complement his other skills, and allow him to fly. In any case, he wasn't lacking in Type 3 Nuclei.
As he stopped here to inspect his new equipment, the evolved zombies below were slowly making their way up.
His eyes flashed coldly and with a thought, a nether hold appeared in mid-air, and 10 sharp bone blades shot out, twisting and slashing into the group of zombies, turning them into mincemeat.
White Bones killed the zombies then stepped out of the nether hole, and guarded at the entrance of the building according to Yue Zhong's instructions.
Yue Zhong came to the 2nd level of the store, coming face to face with 6 Devourers crawling on the ceiling. They opened their jaws and shot out their tongues that were capable of tearing through armored vehicles.
The Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade in his hand slashed out with multiple beams, causing 6 tongues to be severed as murky blood splattered everywhere.
He then pulled out his Stinger and fired 6 consecutive shots.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Following the sound of gunshots, the 6 Devourers had their heads blasted open and they dropped from the ceiling.
After killing those 6 Hunters, Yue Zhong activated his Bone Encompassing Armor, his entire body encased in the bone carapace. He surveyed his surroundings, turning to fix his gaze on some broken windows.
His eyes flashed coldly and he walked closer to take a look.
All of a sudden, 4 Type 2 Hunters leaped in from outside, opening their jaws and firing their tongues.
4 sharp spikes shot out from Yue Zhong's shoulders, slicing through the tongues, while another 4 shot out from his chest, piercing the heads of the Hunters, before flinging them away.
Having gained intelligence, White Bones was able to utilize its skills effectively based on its own judgment to deal with enemies.
Yue Zhong looked out and noticed that Yin Shuang was currently shivering while kneeling in front of a figure, atop another building.
That person was a beautiful woman in a long white dress, with a lush head of thick hair. Her skin was fair and her features were exquisite, yet she had a sense of being untouchable.
Beside her, stood 8 S3s, 2 L3s, and a Devourer.
Yue Zhong opened his hands and a bone spike shot out, impaling the wall of the next building.
As the bone spike retracted, Yue Zhong was pulled towards the roof of that building.
Yue Zhong saw Yin Shuang shivering badly and he shouted in anxiety, "Yin Shuang, are you ok?"
Yin Shuang turned to face Yue Zhong, although her eyes were still blank, "Father, is she my mother?"
"No! Yin Shuang, she is not your mother."
Yue Zhong turned to face that cool-looking beauty and charged towards her. He could tell that she was the one who was the cause of everything happening here.
In a few breaths, Yue Zhong had already appeared behind her, reaching out with his right hand to grab her pale neck.
That act of grabbing her was ridiculously simple, he had in fact prepared a few countermeasures in case she acted out. It was as though she was just a normal person.
Yue Zhong exerted pressure and threatened, "Stop resisting and stop your controlling over my Yin Shuang!"
The cold beauty glared at Yue Zhong hatefully and gritted her teeth, "Kill me! All you beasts. Even in death, I will not become your toy!"
At this time, the 8 S3s, 2 L3s, and Devourer charged at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong frowned slightly and released the beautiful woman, pulling out his huge Black Tooth Blade, slashing out at the incoming zombies.
With a powerful blade beam slashing out, 9 zombies were turned into mincemeat, at the same time, 2 powerful Devil Flame incinerated the brains of the 2 L3s.
When the beautiful woman witnessed this, her eyes also flashed with shock. She knew how powerful the zombies she was controlling were. She had made use of them to tear through a few overpowered Evolvers, and to see Yue Zhong killing her trump card in such a casual manner, she could not help but be shocked.
After dealing with the 11 evolved zombies, Yue Zhong pulled out his Stinger and pointed it at her, "I have no idea what kind of misunderstandings you might have towards me. I did not come here to capture you to be my toy. However, I'm not some nice guy. Stop trying to control my Yin Shuang, otherwise, I will not hesitate to blow your brains out. I think that if you were to die, your control over my Yin Shuang would be stopped. I don't like to kill without reason, but this does not mean that I will not kill."
The beauty looked at Yue Zhong, touching her neck while snorting coldly and stopped casting her ability.
Yin Shuang, who had been kneeling and shivering, immediately stood up and leaped into Yue Zhong's embrace, "Father!! Father!!"

Chapter 688: Triple-Spirit Evolver!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong saw that Yin Shuang had returned to him and his mood became better. He asked, "I'm Yue Zhong, what's your name? The beasts that you were referring to, who were they? What happened here?"
The cool beauty assessed Yue Zhong for a while, before saying, "I'm called Liu Yue Mei. Are you from outside?"
He replied, "That's right."
She continued to ask, "Are there still many zombies outside?"
Yue Zhong replied, "Many. In fact, many places are still overrun with zombies."
Although Yue Zhong had gained control of the whole Central Plains, in truth, there were still many towns and villages containing zombies. He had only controlled the important industrial cities and counties.
Even Zhang Kou City had nearby villages that were not entirely cleaned up yet. It was because it would take a lot of time, and it might divert his attention away from the important task of advancing into the capital.
The zombies in those smaller villages were left to hunters to deal with. After all, since the corpses of zombies were vital nutrients to the Mutant Plants, Yue Zhong had set up a market to purchase zombie corpses.
From there, plenty of hunting teams popped up to earn money. It was a dangerous task, but the rewards were attractive and those who did not wish to confine themselves into working at factories managed to find work as hunters. It fulfilled Yue Zhong's objectives as well.
In such a process, a new culture emerged. In the past, bounty hunters were a rare breed of occupation, and now, it had become the highly sought-after job for those who loved risks and high returns.
Yue Zhong stared straight at the lady and said solemnly, "I have already conquered most of the Central Plains. Zhang Kou City is already under my control. I have established a form of government there, and I'm highly interested in your ability. Do consider joining us."
Her brows arched, as she challenged, "What if I decide not to, what will you do?"
Yue Zhong replied slowly, "Then I will have to apologize, your ability is too dangerous. If you don't, I'll have to eliminate you right here."
Liu Yue Mei could control zombies, this was one of the sickest abilities Yue Zhong had come across. Although she was weak, the zombie troops she controlled could easily wipe out a peak level Evolver. With such a dangerous entity, if Yue Zhong had no means of controlling her, he would not leave her to his enemies.
In the system, there were many abilities that could be bought. However, the miraculous ability to control the zombies could not be bought from the system.
The easiest to obtain was the Firearms Manipulation Specialization skill once one turned into a soldier, while the other was the Medical Specialization for those who became medics.
Liu Yue Mei had an 'as expected' look, as she replied indifferently, "As expected! If I were to join you, what do I have to do?"
Yue Zhong looked at her and said, "I would like to know what your skill is called as well as its limitation. From there I can assign you tasks. You will be paid and treated according to your contributions. At the same time, you won't have to worry about me lusting over your body. In fact, I have a number of women by my side, each and every one of them is even more beautiful than you."
She snorted before replying, "My skill is the Third Order Zombie Control. I'm a Triple-Spirit Evolver. I'm currently level 60, and the maximum number of zombies I can control is 500. This refers to ordinary zombies. As for evolved ones, the numbers will be lesser."
Yue Zhong's brows arched as he asked, "Triple-Spirit Evolver?"
It was the first time that he heard such a term.
She replied somewhat haughtily, "The term Triple-Spirit Evolver means that each time I level up, other than the points to be allocated, there will be a fixed increase of 3 points in Spirit per level."
When Yue Zhong heard that, he couldn't help but tremble in shock.
Such an existence was truly terrifying. It meant that Liu Yue Mei's innate talent was insanely high. Each time she gained a level, her Spirit was definitely stronger than any other person. Her only weakness was her weak survivability. However, if she had enough protection, she could unleash a terrifying combat strength.
Furthermore, with such a high level of Spirit, other than controlling zombies, she could use the system to learn other offensive and defensive spells. At that time, she would truly be a force to be reckoned with.
Yue Zhong chuckled and said, "Very good. I can assign you the rank of a Major, with the perks and treatment of one. Of course, you will have to use your abilities to wipe out zombies to earn that rank and promote."
Her gaze flitted about before she replied, "It's fine to join you, but I have a condition!"
Yue Zhong said, "Name it!"
Liu Yue Mei turned around and went down the stairs, "Come with me!"
Yue Zhong carried Yin Shuang and followed her out.
As they went past a few alleys, they came to a huge warehouse.
In front of the huge warehouse, there were 2 L3s. She eyed them and sent out a spiritual wave, and the 2 L3s pulled the door open.
"Sis, you're back!"
"Sis Liu!!"
The moment she entered the warehouse, a dozen little kids came running over.
A few of these youths, looking about 13 or 14 looked at Yue Zhong and Yin Shuang warily, and asked, "Sis Liu, who are these people?"
The rest of the kids also took a few steps back, hiding behind Liu Yue Mei.
Liu Yue Mei looked at them with a sense of warmth, "Little Zhen, don't be afraid. They're my friends."
Yue Zhong looked at them, not saying anything, as he turned to look at Liu Yue Mei.
She returned his gaze and said, "Come with me!"
Liu Yue Mei brought Yue Zhong further into the warehouse, and they came across a number of women lying by the wall. Most of them had their legs broken, some even had their arms chopped off. Some of them had faces full of burn scars, while others had bulging tummies as though they were pregnant, but their limbs were frail and weak.
"This is the result of those bastards' actions." Liu Mei Yue eyed those women, her gaze full of vengeance as she revealed what happened to this city.
After the world changed, the entire underground city was also filled with zombies.
However, since this was a satellite base, the defense wasn't too weak. There was a special forces team as well as firepower to ensure the safety of the place.
As the apocalypse continued, the soldiers were all deployed to kill the zombies and rescue the citizens.
The survivors that were rescued retreated to the city center, waiting for rescue. Because the special forces started to transform into zombies as well, and the remaining soldiers had no way of clearing the rest of the zombies.
There were enough rations in this city, at the start, the situation was stable. With the passing of time, an Evolver by the name of Wei Xian suddenly appeared, launching an assault on the upper echelons of the society as well as the special forces, killing them all and snatching authority.
Wei Xian was a Special Forces soldier that possessed incredible combat skill. When he awakened as an Evolver, he was practically unparalleled within the city. Prior to the apocalypse, he had been a nice person, and a model soldier. However, when the world changed, he began to give in to his inner desires, turning into a lustful and violent person.
Wei Xian had swiftly organized a team to be his teeth and claws, as they holed themselves up in the center of the city, eating their fill while toying with the women. The rest of the survivors were treated like shit. Those in the warehouse were the women who had been broken by Wei Xian and his gang of cronies.
Liu Yue Mei had taken the opportunity to escape during Wei Xian's fight for power. During her escape, she had awakened as an Evolver and gained her skill, making use of it to kill her pursuers, at the same time, forcing Wei Xian and the rest to be stuck, with no means of escaping the center of the city.
Yue Zhong asked curiously, "Why not kill those bunch of bastards? Since you have so many evolved zombies, you should be able to kill them easily."
The L3s were impervious to normal weapons, not many Evolvers were a match for them. Even for Yue Zhong, he had to utilize the Devil Flame to incinerate them.
As for the Devourers, even Yue Zhong almost perished at their hands, and the claws of such a freak could kill any ordinary Evolver.
She gritted her teeth as her fury erupted, "Those bastards are holding the children hostage in order to threaten me! The moment I get the zombies to get too near to them, they will execute all the children within. If I were to let the zombies charge in and kill him, the children in there will all die! That bastard even resorted to something like this!"
Yue Zhong glanced at her strangely, he had not expected this woman to be so kind-hearted. It was truly rare in this world.
Liu Yue Mei looked towards Yue Zhong with a resolute gaze, "The condition for me joining you is this, you have to send people to take care of these women, and help me to take out Wei Xian, rescuing the kids from his hands."
Yue Zhong replied, "Fine! Even if you didn't raise it, I will send men to take care of these women and kill that bastard Wei Xian. This is what a leader, a person should do. I don't want to take advantage of you. Do you want to raise one more condition for yourself?"
She looked at Yue Zhong somewhat taken aback, and sighed before she shook her head, "No need. As long as you satisfy those conditions, it's more than enough for me."
Yue Zhong replied, "Take me to Wei Xian!"
"En!"
Under her lead, Yue Zhong came to the center of the city, where a number of walls stood high and tall, surrounding a few towering buildings.

Chapter 689: Sneak!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Outside of the large gates, there were a few security cameras swiveling every once in awhile, taking in the surroundings. The rest of the base was shrouded in darkness, however, a few structures were still lit.
This was the core of the underground city, and surrounding it were plenty of zombies patrolling around without stopping.
Liu Yue Mei looked at the base with undisguised hatred, "It's right here. Wei Xian that asshole is here."
Yue Zhong took a look and said, "Can't you control the zombies to assassinate him? It isn't too difficult for the Type 2 Hunters to breach in."
The Type 2 Hunters were natural predators if attacked by them in the dark, even a Level 60 Evolver would perish. Someone as strong as Yue Zhong had almost fallen at the continuous ambushes earlier.
Liu Yue Mei hesitated for a while, but decided to reveal the shortcomings of her power in the end, "I can control the zombies to gather together and issue them some simple commands. But I cannot order them to kill an enemy outside of my vision. Otherwise, they will go out of control and attack as per their instinct."
Yue Zhong nodded and activated his Second Order Stealth, disappearing into the night, "So it's like so! Go ascertain his position."
Liu Yue Mei watched in shock as Yue Zhong disappeared right in front of her eyes. She adjusted her emotions then controlled the 2 L3 by her side to come right in front of the base.
One of the zombies went to press the communication button near the gate.
Her voice rang out, "Wei Xian, I know you're in there. I want to see you!!"
As her words rang out, a number of bright lights shone towards her position, at the same time, the security cameras near the gate swivelled to lock onto her position.
After a while, an image appeared on the electronic display near the gate.
A bald man with a naked upper torso, his aura sharp, and his muscles ripped, appeared. There were 2 beautiful naked girls in his embrace, as well as another 2 kneeling on the ground, licking his feet. This man was precisely Wei Xian.
He kicked the 2 women by his legs away, his body edging forward slightly, "Liu Yue Mei, have you thought it through? As long as you are willing to become my woman, the both of us can leave this place with our powers. Once we go above, with our strength, we can establish a powerful kingdom. By that time, we are the law, we can do whatever we want to. Everyone else will have to grovel at our feet."
Liu Yue Mei looked back in disgust, her gaze icy cold. "Even if I were to die, I would not become your woman. This time, I'm here to discuss a deal with you. Release the children, and I will control the zombies to allow you to leave."
Wei Xian laughed out, "Miss Liu, do you take me for a fool? If I were to hand the kids over to you, won't you just control the zombies to kill me after?"
Wei Xian waved his hands, pulling out a naked boy who was all skin and bones right in front of him, "Forget it, since you're so pitiful, I'll let you have some appetizers. Get 200 jin of food in exchange for this boy."
Liu Yue Mei looked at the state of the boy and erupted in fury, "You damn beast!"
"You dare to scold me? Sure, let's see if this teaches you a lesson!" Wei Xian's eyes flashed with a cruel gaze, raising the gun in his hand towards the boy's head and he laughed savagely.
The boy immediately cried out in shock and fear, his snot and tears flowing down his face. His skinny frame also started to tremble uncontrollably, "No! Don't kill me! I don't want to die!!"
Peng!
Following a loud gunshot, a bullet hole appeared in the boy's head, as he slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Seeing this, the 4 naked beauties kneeled down on the ground and trembled as well, not daring to raise their heads. They were afraid of antagonizing this devil.
Having been trapped in this underground city for a long time, with uncertainty and fear towards the future, Wei Xian was pushed to the brink of insanity. From time to time, he would just kill, and these women did not dare to anger him.
Liu Yue Mei's eyes blazed with fury as her body trembled from the rage as well. However, she was helpless. She might have an insane skill in controlling zombies, but the skill had its limits as well. Her personal combat abilities were currently slightly above ordinary people. She wasn't a match for Wei Xian.
Wei Xian waved his hands and another 15 year old boy was dragged right in front of him. He chuckled at Liu Yue Mei, "Miss Liu. You have just caused the death of an important hostage. Now I want 600 jin of rations. If you bring it, this boy is yours. Of course, if you can't do so in 3 days, I will eat him!"
It had already been over a year since the apocalypse began, and although there weren't shortage of food in the center of the base, the inhabitants had gone through quite an amount. There was the worry of insufficient food going around. In order to save on the food, Wei Xian had allowed his subordinates to resort to cannibalism.
Liu Yue Mei gritted her teeth in hatred, "I got it! I will bring 600 jin of food to exchange for him in 3 days. You better not be killing anyone else."
Wei Xian replied indifferently, "I kill whoever I want to kill. What business is it of yours? However, if you do bring the food within 3 days, I can promise not to touch him."
Liu Yue Mei shot him a deep glare, before turning around to leave.
Seeing her leave, the lights scattered and the electronic display dimmed. The rest of the surveillance cameras swivelled elsewhere.
Yue Zhong appeared from the dark, "Where is he?'
Liu Yue Mei pointed to the highest structure within the base, "That building over there. The 7th level hall. He should be engaging in shit with his subordinates."
Yue Zhong turned to look at the structure, and his body disappeared into the night again.
The walls surrounding the center of the city were about 4m-tall. Yue Zhong leaped lightly and went over easily.
When he landed, he immediately shot for the 7-storey tall building.
As he passed through the center, he could see plenty of human bones and corpses littered about everywhere. It was hell.
In barely 10 seconds, Yue Zhong had arrived at the building, which happened to be the only lit one. He stretched out his hands and a strand of silk shot out from his ring.
The silk pulled him up to the roof of the building and he utilized his Devil Flame through his fingertips to melt the glass of a window.
He then entered the room without much difficulty.
As he entered the room, he saw many little girls without a single shred of clothing being locked in cages like animals.
Most of them had blank expressions even after seeing Yue Zhong suddenly appear. A few of them covered their mouths with expressions of joy and fear at the same time. They had hoped for a hero to come save them, but their hopes had been dashed time and time again. They already lost hope.
"This beast!" Yue Zhong saw the state of these girls and his eyes flashed with fury.
A little 12 year old came to the front of her cage, her skin fair and a collar around her neck, as she looked at Yue Zhong expectantly, "Uncle, are you here to save us?"
He looked at her and replied, "That's right, I'm here to save you! Where's the hall?"
The little girl swiftly replied, "It's on the left once you exit from here. Uncle, you must be careful, Wei Xian is an Evolver. His main attribute is speed. He had also 3 Evolver experts with him. One of them is called Zhang Er Dan, he can transform into a werewolf. Another if called Liu Hong, she can control her hair, and the last one is called Xu Wei, he has monstrous strength."
Right at this time, another naked girl had a strange glint in her eyes as she screamed out loud, "Enemy!! Ah!!! Enemy!! Boss Wei Xian, someone is here to kill you!! You must be careful!!"
The cute girl who had advised Yue Zhong looked towards her fellow captive in disbelief, "Zhang Li, you!!!"
There was a venomous look and gloating in Zhang Li's eyes, "Boss Wei Xian! Lu Rong has betrayed you!! She has revealed information about you!! Lu Rong, once Boss Wei Xian comes later, you're dead!! I hate people like you. This time, Boss Wei Xian will turn you into a bitch!! Haha!! Haha!!"
Zhang Li had gone crazy under the torment and humiliation of Wei Xian and his men, and her jealousy and hatred was projected onto those who had not yet been harmed. She just wanted to obtain Wei Xian's love, and get a better position.
Peng!
Following a gunshot, Zhang Li had a bullet hole in the middle of her brows, fresh blood flowing down. Her face was still contorted in a gloating look.
Yue Zhong eyed the corpse with a cold look, "What an eyesore!"

When the rest of the girls saw how Yue Zhong took out Zhang Li without hesitation, their hearts chilled.
Even Lu Rong, who had approached Yue Zhong to help, felt fear and backed up a few steps. If this man in front of her could kill without blinking, he wasn't anyone merciful.
Yue Zhong looked at them and spoke to what seemed to be blank air, "Saka, you protect them."
After that, Yue Zhong disappeared from the room.
By now, because of Zhang Li's scream, the entire building had raised the alarm.
Wei Xian's subordinates had begun to move, and Yue Zhong had not left far from the room when he saw 4 gun-toting militants.
The 4 of them charged at Yue Zhong the moment they saw him.
However, Yue Zhong disappeared right in front of their eyes, reappearing behind them.
At the next instant, the bodies of the militants split apart, as large amounts of blood splattered everywhere, dying the hallway. Normal people could not catch Yue Zhong's movements at all.
Even for Evolvers, other than those who were high-level, very few could withstand a strike from Yue Zhong.
With a few slashes of his blade, the huge door to the hall was split apart. Yue Zhong kicked right through it and stormed into the room.
He discovered that 3 men were naked, surrounded by over 20 naked women. In fact, there was still a man engrossed in pounding another woman.
There was a strong smell of sex and grime in the hall.
Wei Xian looked at Yue Zhong and smiled in appreciation, "You must be the assassin? Truly gutsy eh? I'm Wei Xian, the leader of this base. I admire you, how about working for me. As long as you agree, the women here are yours to toy with. If you like virgins, I have a few stashed away. I even have a few non-mature pets lying around. As long as you join me, those toys will be yours."
In this apocalypse, there wasn't any form of entertainment. Since Wei Xian and the rest were trapped here, the only form of fun they had was to toy with the women. He had made use of them to pull over Zhang Er Dan, Liu Hong, and Xu Wei.
Although Liu Hong was a woman herself, she was an ordinary-looking lesbian. Before the apocalypse, she had not been accepted, thus, she had tried to suppress herself. After the world changed, having obtained some strength, she began to indulge in her desires.
Yue Zhong's gaze was cold as he stared at Wei Xian, pulling out his Stinger and immediately firing, "Human scum! Go to hell!"
Peng!
With a single gunshot, before Wei Xian even had the time to finish his words, his brains had been blown apart, as red and white matter splattered all over the woman beneath him.
The naked Zhang Er Dan saw Wei Xian's death and he roared out in rage, triggering his werewolf transformation, "Damn it! You dare kill Boss Wei!! I will avenge him!!"
Peng!
The Stinger sounded out once more, and the just-transformed Zhang Er Dan slumped to the floor with a bullet hole in his wolf-head.
Wei Xian and Zhang Er Dan were like invincible existences to the ordinary people of the underground city, but to Yue Zhong, they were just trash. Any elite Evolver under him could easily take them out.
When the naked women on the ground saw how easily the 2 demons of their lives were killed by Yue Zhong, their hearts were full of shock.
After Yue Zhong took out Wei Xian and Zhang Er Dan, he discovered Liu Hong and Xu Wei each gyrating their own women passionately. As to the events that just occurred, they seemed oblivious to them.
Yue Zhong saw the glass table filled with some white powder and he frowned deeply. Pulling out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade, he slashed out at the 2 cocaine-snorting Evolvers.
With a flash of his blade, their heads rolled to the ground, fresh blood spraying everywhere.
The naked women seemed to be used to the sight of death, although they were scared, they didn't scream out like most normal people.
Yue Zhong glanced around and announced dryly, "I need someone who's familiar with this place to lead me around. I want to rescue everyone out of here. Whoever has the ability stand up, I will ensure her safety, and I promise, not only will she live with dignity from now on, as long as I'm alive, she will not be short of food and clothes."
There were over 20 naked beauties all around, and such a scene was more than enough to send a hot-blooded man dizzy.
However, Yue Zhong was someone who had his fair share of beauties, and these women weren't enough to shake his resolve.
One bespectacled lady with fair skin and dressed in black lace, her demeanor charming and elegant, stood up as she stared straight at Yue Zhong, "I'm called Zhang Ya, I used to be the overseer in this satellite base. I'm familiar with the entire place, please allow me to be your guide."
Zhang Ya knew to grab hold of an opportunity when she saw it. She saw how casually Yue Zhong had taken care of those 4 Evolvers and knew she had to use all she had to hang on to this man. Even if she had to give up her body, she didn't care, in any case, she had been humiliated before.
"Don't move!"
Right at this time, a dozen militants came charging in, pointing their guns at Yue Zhong.
Many of them caught sight of the naked women and their eyes shone with lust.
As Wei Xian's subordinates, they had been able to play with women as well. It was just that the women they had vastly different from those that Wei Xian and his Evolvers kept for themselves. Thus, the soldiers turned sluggish.
"Die!" Yue Zhong pointed at those soldiers, as a dozen Devil Flame balls appeared and flew right towards their heads, exploding upon contact.
Zhang Ya saw how easily Yue Zhong killed those soldiers and her eyes flashed with shock, "Strong!!"
After all, even for Wei Xian who had been Special Forces prior, to kill a few soldiers, he would still have to exert quite some strength and effort. As for Yue Zhong, he had just killed dozens in the blink of an eye. That was the vast difference.
Yue Zhong than threw an assault rifle to Zhang Ya and said, "Come!! Bring me to the rest."
She held it tightly and replied, "Yes!!"
In this world, there was only dignity with power, this, Zhang Ya had learned with her body.
She followed closely behind him, and the rest of the women felt regret, not taking the chance to stand up earlier.
Inside the base, there was no one who could stand up to Yue Zhong.
Any soldier that appeared was instantly taken out.
The survivors locked up in the various rooms were released one by one.
Other than the hired thugs of Wei Xian, there were about 250 people left in the building. Most of them were women, and only 30 were men. The rest were either his thugs or had been killed and eaten.
Wei Xian had cleaned out the men he didn't need other than his subordinates. The reason for the 30 men surviving were because they had been experts in the operating of the satellites. Wei Xian knew that the base was a precious treasure, and thus, kept them alive.
Yue Zhong asked one man whose eyes were swollen, his body emaciated, as though the wind could blow him over, "Song Ben, when can we control the satellites?"
Song Ben had been one of the higher-ranking managers of the base, and was a technical expert in the satellite field.
Song Ben replied, "Leader, as long as we have enough power, and the base regains operations, I can gain control within 3 days."
When Yue Zhong heard that, his eyes lit up with joy, "Great!!"
This time, he had come to gain the satellites. He didn't have to worry about energy as he could easily set up the transfer of power from Zhang Kou City. Even if he didn't have the grid, he could make use of fuel to generate power.
Song Ben seemed to hesitate before continuing, "Leader!! There's another secret of this base."
Yue Zhong became curious, "Oh? What is it?"
Song Ben revealed the secret solemnly, "There's a powerful central computer in the base, with a completed artificial intelligence before the apocalypse. We call it Mars No. 1."
Yue Zhong's brows arched as he asked in suspicion, "Artificial intelligence?"
Song Ben replied, "Yes! It's like the Red Queen from the Resident Evil shows. In truth, this satellite base is also a experimental area, meant to test the usage of artificial intelligence on the satellites. Mars No. 1 has a huge computing and processing ability. If you could gain it, it could monitor and control the satellites for you 24/7."

Chapter 691: 第七百一十一章 红星1号!

Mars No.1 !
Yue Zhong was shocked, and he said solemnly, "Bring me there!"
Computers had an advantage over humans, that was the disregard for rest. Ordinary people cannot function without sufficient rest, as for computers, even running for a few months was no problem. Gaining the artificial intelligence would only spell benefits for Yue Zhong.
Song Ben replied, "Yes!"
Under his lead, Yue Zhong came to a small room beside the main satellite building, and revealed a tunnel.
The tunnel went on for quite a distance, before a huge electronic gate appeared in front of the 2 of them.
Song Ben pointed to the door and spoke apologetically to Yue Zhong, "This is the place where the supercomputer is kept. To enter, one must have the security clearance. I only know of this place, but I don't possess the security clearance. I've been in there a few times to conduct maintenance, but it was under the lead of other higher-ups."
He continued, "There's an automatic defense system in there as well, if one were to break in forcefully, then the automatic defense will be triggered to eradicate all invaders."
The supercomputer was the product of hard work, sweat and countless resources by the government prior to the apocalypse. Once humanity could utilize it well, then technology would advance at an insane pace. With the right amount of A.I, different appliances and technology could be produced to enhance quality of life.
With artificial intelligence, wars could be fought with robots instead of humans tearing into each other, hence protecting precious human life.
This sort of research was extremely classified, regardless of country. Ordinary people would never get a chance to get near it. Yue Zhong had never expected even his own China, that most had assumed to be lagging behind in technology, had already developed artificial intelligence under the shroud of secrecy. Even if it was in its initial stages, it was a feat to behold. Such a research location would definitely be protected heavily.
Yue Zhong looked at the electronic door and spoke mildly, "You back up first. I will open it up."
Song Ben knew the danger and he quickly found a place for cover, "Yes!"
Yue Zhong came to the door and pressed his fingerprint to the scanner. It was the first lock he had to clear.
"Scanning fingerprint, not included in database. Does not have clearance to enter. Please get someone with the clearance to scan within 2 minutes, otherwise, will be treated as invader and eliminated!"
After that, there was the whirring of gears, and a latch opened up above the door, as a number of 25mm heavy machine guns appeared, pointing at Yue Zhong.
The 20 guns locked on to Yue Zhong, sealing his route of escape entirely. Even an armored vehicle would be blown apart by these numbers.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and 20 Devil Flame balls flew out, incinerating the 20 guns into ash, "Burn!"
Song Ben hid in one corner and saw how Yue Zhong took care of the defense mechanisms, his eyes filled with shock, "Powerful!"
After destroying the 20 cannons, the flames in Yue Zhong's hands condensed to form beautiful blades.
He slashed out at the electronic door, and the blade made out of flames tore into the metal as easily as a hot knife through butter.
After tearing a hole in the door, he walked in with large strides.
The moment he stepped through the door, Yue Zhong noticed various machines that he did not recognize fitted within the huge room, which was about 50m wide and 20m tall.
At the center of the room, there was a cylindrical area that linked to the roof, and there were display screens mounted throughout. All sorts of equipment and supercomputers were laid out in front of him.
Song Ben also entered the room quietly behind him.
The moment Yue Zhong entered the room, the supercomputers lit up and began to whir to life. There was a holographic projection beamed out, forming a young man with huge eyes, dressed in military uniform and a star-shaped hat.
The young man looked at Yue Zhong and spoke in a robotic voice, "I'm Mars No. 1!! Outside, you have no authority to enter this room. Since you have forced your way in, according to the country's laws, you have committed serious treason and endangered your country, public security as well as your people… and so on. Please stop your actions immediately."
Yue Zhong looked at Mars No. 1 and asked, "Mars No. 1, as an artificial intelligence that controls the satellites, you should know about the situation outside."
Mars No.1 responded, "Yes! The zombies that are similar to those of Resident Evil have overrun the earth, and they are continually encroaching on the living space of humans. This is the situation outside."
Yue Zhong spoke solemnly, "Very good! Since you know that, then you know how dangerous it is outside. I need your help to clear up the zombies and to re-establish the stability of the country."
Mars No.1 replied mechanically, "No! You don't have the authority to command me. If you want to gain my help, you must get No. 1 Head to enter the password, and assign you control. Otherwise, I will not assist you."
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed, as he continued to persuade this artificial intelligence, "Since the earth has already become like this, the No.1 Head is no longer here. The capital now has turned into a zombieland, and most of the governing personnel of this base is no longer around. Naturally, I have the ability to command you. Just assist me, Mars No.1!"
Mars No.1 continued to reject in its robotic voice, "In my programming, only those with access can give me commands. I can only assist those with the confirmed security clearance. Since you don't have it, please leave."
Yue Zhong's face turned sullen, "You're truly not willing to help me?"
Mars No. 1 replied, "This is part of my programming. I cannot go against my core programming."
Yue Zhong's expression turned cold, "Since it's like this, then I should just destroy you. I will stop your energy source and reformat you. I have no need of something like you that is not useful! Since your base hardware is still powerful enough, I will wipe you away and leave only the basic functions."
Although the A.I was powerful, if it could not be used by Yue Zhong, it was just a piece of junk. Even if it was the precious product of China's research, he could not allow its existence to continue.
The A.I was capable of churning out large amounts of data every second, and without a supercomputer, there was no way the A.I could be supported.
Yue Zhong pointed to Mars No.1 and asked Song Ben, "Song Ben, tell me, where is the core of this thing? I want to take it and reformat it."
Hearing his words, Mars No.1 finally had some reaction, as it quickly shouted, "No! You can't do that! I am a top-secret research of China, and it was the cost of sweat, tears, and blood of countless scientists! If you were to remove me, based on your current technology, there will be no way to recreate another me even after 20 years! If you reformat me, you're a traitor to the Chinese people!!"
Yue Zhong looked at Mars No.1 and his eyes flashed with a desperate look, "You fear death! What an incredible A.I. Fearing death is something that belongs to those with life. Seems like you have already developed some life-like traits. What a pity, no matter how good something is, if I can't make use of it, then it's just a piece of trash. You might be the darling of the country in the past, but now, since I can't use you, your value is less than the supercomputer supporting you. After I wipe you away, I might not have gained as much, but it's not too bad already."
Mars No.1 seemed to struggle for a while, before it gave in, "Fine! Please don't wipe me away. I can work for you. However, before you fully conquer the country, I can only extend your scope of control. After all, only the person of the highest status in this country can control me. It was one of the conditions carved into my programming. If I were to go against this protocol, my entire being will collapse. If you're still not satisfied with this, you may erase me now."
Yue Zhong asked, "Releasing some of the restrictions, what does that do for me?"
Facing the restricted control, Yue Zhong was more concerned about the help Mars No.1 could bring him. In this world, even as Yue Zhong's power was expanding, he constantly felt a sense of danger weighing on him.
After all, after he gained the Evolving Temple, Yue Zhong had been clear that the zombies and Mutant Beasts were just the 1st level of difficulty on this earth. The next stage was going to be more terrifying, and who knows what dangers await the already-struggling humanity.
Mars No.1 replied, "I can help you control the satellites, and report the movements of overseas troops. I can also make use of the satellites to triangulate locations and maintain telecommunications. When you fight the zombies, I can be your eyes, and monitor the movement of the zombies. If you want to conquer the capital, I can provide you all the images of the capital.

Chapter 692: Liu Yue Mei's Tyrannical Ability!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong's face revealed a slight smile and said, "Fine! Deal!"
If possible, Yue Zhong also did not want to resort to destroying Mars No. 1. The proposed assistance was more than enough to him. Especially the image displays of the capital.
With that, Yue Zhong would be able to determine any nearby ammunitions storage and weapon facilities, which could bolster his troops.
The number of zombies was simply too much, seemingly endless. Furthermore, all the soldiers under Yue Zhong were humans, and although they could take on a 100 each, they would need the necessary weapons to fight. Against a small group of ordinary zombies, they could still try to engage them in melee combat, but against a huge horde, they would definitely need firepower.
In fact, Mars No. 1 had a lot more under its control than what it had offered Yue Zhong. Although it was just an artificial intelligence, in the process of its programming, it had been installed with many restrictions. That was why it was limited.
Yue Zhong and Mars No. 1 agreed on the details, and White Bones was left to defend the entrance while Yue Zhong.
At the nearby storage that was enveloped in darkness, Liu Yue Mei stood on the roof and surveyed the outside quietly. She had the night vision ability as well. It was awakened together with her ability to control zombies.
Her brows furrowed deeply as she kept her gaze on the streets. She knew clearly how strong Wei Xian and the rest were. There were at least a hundred soldiers, with a few Evolvers. She was worried that Yue Zhong might die within.
As she watched, she noticed a small figure walking slowly towards her.
It was precisely Yue Zhong, and beside him, there was Lu Rong.
Yue Zhong lifted his head and his gaze met Liu Yue Mei's. He grabbed Lu Rong and leaped once onto the 7m-tall building, his gaze still fixed on Liu Yue Mei.
Liu Yue Mei stared at Yue Zhong in disbelief, "You've already killed Wei Xian?"
Yue Zhong ruffled Lu Rong's head and chuckled lightly, "You can ask her!"
Lu Rong smiled sweetly at Liu Yue Mei, "Big sister! Big brother here has already killed the big baddie Wei Xian. Now, everyone has been released!"
Liu Yue Mei's cold countenance finally broke into a warm smile, "Thank you for fulfilling my wish. From now on, I, Liu Yue Mei, will serve you willingly."
There were all sorts of people in the apocalypse, some like Yue Zhong who became warlords and leaders of their own factions that sought to grow, some turned mad from the fear and insecurity, some gave in to their inner demons, while others became cruel. There were also a rare few, that in spite of all of these, having experienced such horrors, they still shone with their humanity and kindness. It was especially bright and warm in this cold, cruel world.
Yue Zhong nodded slightly.
Liu Yue Mei's ability was an important tool to Yue Zhong. He could not just allow it to be buried here. She was also big-hearted, thus, Yue Zhong would assign her to face the zombies in the future.
Right at this time, her face suddenly fell, "Not good!! The zombies are here!"
Yue Zhong looked out and realized that a huge group of them had suddenly appeared without warning.
Liu Yue Mei walked to a window and sent out her Spirit, issuing an order to the zombies under her control, "Attack! Kill all the enemies!"
Under her control, many zombies awaiting in different rooms charged right out, pouncing towards the zombie group.
The 2 groups of zombies clashed together in a frenzy and every moment, there would be a zombie head being torn apart. Under Liu Yue Mei, the tank-like L3s charged into the group and could pummel 5 or 6 zombies with every fist of theirs.
Liu Yue Mei's zombies followed the lead of those L3s and took the advantage of the flow.
Suddenly, Liu Yue Mei gasped, "Quick! Run! There's a zombie commander within the group. It can wrestle away my control. If we don't escape now, all those under my control will be taken away! Ah!! It hurts!!"
Her words had just landed and she gripped her head tightly, kneeling on the ground, as she broke out in cold sweat.
Yue Zhong looked at the curled up Liu Yue Mei and his eyes flashed as he asked, "Are you able to sense the location of the commander?"
Liu Yue Mei gritted her teeth and said, "I can! I can't pinpoint its exact location, but I know where it's at generally. I may be able to get a clearer picture the closer I get."
"Good! Come with me! We'll go take it down together."
Yue Zhong then carried Liu Yue Mei and leaped out from the window forcefully, leaping onto the roof of the next building. He then jumped off.
"Are you looking for death?!" Seeing Yue Zhong leap into the air with nothing below, Liu Yue Mei's eyes widened in shock and shrieked at him.
Yue Zhong laughed, and with a swoosh, a pair of jet-black metal wings unfolded from his back, covered in mysterious runes. Propelled by the wind, it helped Yue Zhong and Liu Yue Mei glide gracefully through the air.
Liu Yue Mei was nestled in Yue Zhong's embrace and felt the comfort of soaring over the air, and her eyes flashed in excitement, "This is an airborne treasure! The feeling's so great! Is this what it's like to fly?"
Flying freely like the birds have always been a dream of many humans. Although Liu Yue Mei was an Evolver with triple-Spirit growth, she was still a woman, and being able to fly in the sky felt extremely romantic.
Of course, she could feel like this because the speed at which they were gliding was pretty slow. If it was flying at Mach speed, her frail body would not be able to endure the resistance.
Yue Zhong roused her from her daydreams, "Where is the commander?"
She closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment, before pointing to a direction, "Over there!"
Yue Zhong swiftly made his way there.
Liu Yue Mei pointed to a building below, "It's right here, I can only sense that it's in here somewhere, but not the exact room."
Yue Zhong looked down and saw the densely packed zombies, with 4 L3s and dozens of S3s. At the same time, there were many other evolved zombies within the building. To a normal person, knowing the commander's location didn't mean they could do anything.
"It's enough!! Watch me!"
Yue Zhong looked down coldly and slapped out with his hand. At that instant, a terrifying blaze of Devil Flame roared downwards like a raging dragon, opening its jaws as it slammed downwards in a burst of flames.
The moment the Devil Flame dragon bit down, the entire building was instantly enveloped in flames, burning instantly.
The ordinary zombies within were instantly incinerated, while other evolved ones struggled for a while, before succumbing to the powerful flames.
From within, the howl of the Z2 sounded, as many zombies quickly rushed into the building, only to be consumed by the fire.
Kuang lang!!
Following the shattering of glass, the Z2 leaped out of the room, with flames still on its body.
Peng!
Yue Zhong had retrieved his Stinger and fired a single shot at the Z2, causing a large bullet hole to burst through its brain. It struggled for a moment and slumped into the sea of flames, burning away.
With the death of the Z2, the zombie horde quickly dispersed, returning to its state of confusion.
As for the other zombies near the building, they just stood there quietly and did not move.
Liu Yue Mei stared at the carnage below and turned to look at Yue Zhong, her gaze complicated, "You're powerful!"
Yue Zhong was the strongest person she had ever seen before, even someone like her who could control 500 zombies had to admit that.
Yue Zhong looked back at her and said, "No! The true powerful one is you. I'm just a single person. Without you to locate the Z2, even I would be hard-pressed to deal with these zombies. There are many like me, even some are stronger than me. Yet the ability you possess is truly one of a kind. You will be a valuable asset to our cause, and the trump card against the zombies. I am really sincere in hoping that you will join us to fight and eliminate the zombies, reunite the country, and restore peace."
With just her ability to control zombies, while it was truly a unique and strong one, it could be considered so-so by herself. Yue Zhong could easily eliminate 500 zombies, and many other Evolvers could do the same. However, no one else could locate the Z-types easily, not even Yue Zhong. With the ability to locate the commanders, Liu Yue Mei's importance had heightened, and Yue Zhong sorely wished that he had that ability as well.
Liu Yue Mei smiled back, "En! I will help you wipe out the zombies, and conquer the country!"
Although Yue Zhong wasn't a saint, he was truly devoted to eliminating the zombies. To Liu Yue Mei, such a man who did not lust for her beauty and body was rare, and she began to take interest in him.

Chapter 693: Horde of Zombies in the Capital!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong managed to obtain the images of the military installations and facilities near the capital with the help of Mars No.1. He immediately deployed the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade as well as the 4th Brigade to launch an attack on those areas.
The zombies that overrun those places were easily vanquished by Yue Zhong's army, and he recovered the facilities with ease.
Yue Zhong broke into those facilities and gained a huge amount of resources, even acquiring an airfield as well as some bomb carriers and explosives.
The 4 units had fought tirelessly, battle after battle, advancing towards the capital.
Along the way, the smaller factions or groups of resistances were easily eliminated by them, and the leaders would either submit or be killed. The survivors were then absorbed by Yue Zhong, and those who had committed atrocities were directly thrown into the Scum Battalion as cannon fodder.
On the backend, the support from the various factories churned out ammunition and rations to be sent to the front lines, supporting the troops.
As the soldiers of the 4 units continued to fight and grow, they became elites in their own rights, and every day, over tens of thousands of zombies would die at their hands.
The various villages and towns were conquered one after the other.
Prior to the apocalypse, there were tens of millions of people in the capital. After the apocalypse, it was likely that the number of zombies was that high. It was definitely not going to be easy dealing with such a number.
Even for Yue Zhong, such a feat was going to be difficult. Before he had his own production lines, he could only deal with at most a million zombie. With sufficient logistics and support, he now possessed the capability of facing millions of zombies.
The Treant army controlled by Bì Lǜ was also used to fight the zombies. They were the strongest form of cannon fodder, not knowing fear, and their stamina surpassed the ordinary humans. They could also fight in the night, and what was more important, with the existence of the mother tree, it could continually send out more Treants into the battlefield.
As the forces continued to advance, Yue Zhong's faction continued to expand towards the capital.
Finally, the sea-like horde of zombies began to move.
With the satellites keeping watch under the control of Mars No.1, Yue Zhong and his men could see the zombies straggling towards the center of the capital.
The huge horde gathered together, reaching about tens of millions in number. It was truly the height of death.
Seeing the horrific numbers, Yue Zhong decided to let his troops retreat and rest. After a period of constant battling, they had already eradicated over a million zombies. Likewise, they had their exhaustion to deal with.
At the end of the day, humans weren't like the zombies or robots, after constant fighting, their bodies will feel the fatigue. Without adequate rest, they would develop adverse effects to war.
When the 4 units took the chance to rest, Yue Zhong got Ji Qing Wu and Bì Lǜ as well as her 5,000 treants to continue and whittle down at the zombies near the capital.
Under the assault of the 5,000-strong Treant army, every day, over tens of thousands of zombies were swallowed by them.
However, the zombies surrounding the capital continued to trickle towards the center of the city. The rate at which Ji Qing Wu, Bì Lǜ, and the Treants were killing the zombies could not keep up with the increasing numbers of zombies in the capital.
After a fortnight, the total number of zombies in the capital had reached 20 million.
When the gathering of the zombies was complete, 5 separate groups of 2 million zombies started to attack Zhang Kou City from different directions.
After sending out those 5 waves, the other 10 million zombies began to surge towards the direction of Yue Zhong's forces in the Central Plains.
Yue Zhong monitored the developments and sighed, "Divisions! They actually know how to launch divisionary tactics! The intelligence of the zombie commander seems to be getting higher."
The moment the zombie horde separated into 6, the pressure on Yue Zhong was intensified by at least 10 times. If they had continued to surge as a single body like in the past, then all he had to do was to gather his troops and hold out at a defensive point, making use of channels to block the advance. However, with their pronged attacks, he had to separate his own forces to deal with them.
Furthermore, each and every group of these zombies could not be underestimated. Anyone of them was enough to crush whatever Yue Zhong had built up. 2 million zombies were not easy to deal with. Any of them required Yue Zhong and his forces to give their all to resist and defend against.
This was the true threat of having an intelligent enemy commander of the zombies. They would be able to deploy a force that was 100 or 1,000 times that of humans. The moment they could execute military tactics and strategies, it would be almost impossible for humans to fight against.
Yue Zhong watched the movements and gave an order, "Heed my command! Immediately move all resources of Zhang Kou City and personnel towards Ulan City!"
Zhang Kou City was about 200km away from the capital, and it was a short distance for the zombies. Although Yue Zhong was reluctant, he had to give the city up. The 6 separate waves were too much to handle.
One of the officers responded, "Yes!"
On his orders, the survivors from Zhang Kou City began to move towards Ulan City. The once bustling city became a ghost town overnight.
Amongst the survivors, many of them moved on the government orders. However, there was a minority that was reluctant to head to Ulan City and wanted to stay within the Zhang Kou City.
"Why must we leave? This is our place! I will definitely not leave!"
"Let me stay!! I don't want to leave!!"
The survivors cried and begged and laid on the ground, not willing to leave. They had their houses and stores here. These were all their possessions, and they had managed to carve a life for themselves. They were naturally unwilling to leave.
The police officers looked at them and were helpless.
An officer came riding into town with 100 soldiers, as he barked coldly, "What's going on here?"
One of the police officers explained, "They're unwilling to leave their own homes."
The officer replied with a cold look, "Fine! Since they're not willing to obey orders, then let them sacrifice for their country. The leader has already passed his orders, those who are unwilling will be drafted into the Defense Battalion, staying behind to defend. Men, round them up."
The officer waved his hand and the 100 soldiers swiftly came up and tied up all the survivors that were proving to be difficult.
Seeing this, those who were still contemplating to stay behind felt their hearts turn cold and became obedient, following the rest of the survivors.
This order of Yue Zhong was slightly overbearing and it resulted in several hundreds of survivors being rounded up. However, in doing so, many others became obedient and moved towards Ulan City. There weren't any further troubles.
At the same time, in order to deal with the 6 huge zombie groups, Yue Zhong sent out 6 Infantry Battalions to defend major transport channels.
This time, it was a critical situation that spelled the survival of Yue Zhong's established bases. He had finally let go of his guard towards Hu-er Ran, as he issued them rocket launchers, rifles and other powerful firearms for them to utilize.
If they failed this time, Yue Zhong had no choice but to retreat towards the Central Plain. Within a year, there would be no means of conquering the capital. The commander of the zombie horde would also be able to evolve to an uncertain degree.
Should the commander become even more intelligent and continued to push towards Yue Zhong's other bases, they could easily overrun all of the cities.
Xu Yuan Gorge was an important channel that led to Zhang Kou City, and it was extremely narrow, accommodating only 6 figures at any one time.
Currently, there were many workers hard at working fortifying structures and setting defensive traps.
Hu-er Ran was observing the work, everywhere he went, the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment would salute him.
Many of the soldiers were his loyal subordinates over the years. Even if Yue Zhong had filled up the ranks with other commanders, all the soldiers were mostly respectful of Hu-Er Ran. Not just because of his royal Huangjin blood, but because he led his battles, and cared for his soldiers.
Hu-er Ran continued to survey the area, looking at the various firepower consisting of rockets, rifles, cannons and other heavy weapons prepared, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions. The 3rd Brigade had finally received Yue Zhong's trust, earning modern weapons.
On one hand, he felt proud of himself for bringing the 3rd Brigade to where it was, at the same time, there was still the fear and respect towards Yue Zhong. He never expected Yue Zhong to just easily equip them with the weapons. If it were him, he would not have been able to just do that. Because he was clear as well as Yue Zhong, that his own influence of his 3rd Brigade was still higher than that of Yue Zhong.

Chapter 694: Evolved Zombie with Intelligence!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
From far, the seemingly endless horde slowly appeared over the horizon, arriving at Xu Yuan Gorge. Looking at them gave a suffocating pressure.
Hua Bu La Ci, one of Hu-er Ran's trusted aides, came up to him and spoke in a low voice, "Great Khan, this is our chance! Now that the zombies have split into 6, Yue Zhong had deployed his forces to deal with them. His camp is empty, and as long as we launch a successful attack, and stab him in the back while he is defending against the horde, he will surely crumble. At that time, as long as you give the signal, all the Mongolian soldiers will definitely respond. We can rise again as the Great Mongolian Empire!"
Hu-er Ran's eyes fixed on Hua Bu La Ci as he sunk in his thoughts.
As per his words, it was truly the most dangerous time for the army of Yue Zhong right now. Not only did Yue Zhong have to deal with 20 million zombies, at the same time, the commander was an evolved intelligent being. If Hu-er Ran wanted to rebel, it was currently the best opportunity.
Although Hu-er Ran had submitted to Yue Zhong, he had been forced to. There was not a moment that he did not think of the Great Mongolian Empire. Hua Bu La Ci's suggestion was extremely appealing.
He was silent for a while, before shaking his head, "Hua Bu La Ci, this battle, I have to fight. It concerns the lives of everyone here in the Central Plains. If we humans were to lose, then there would be no space for us humans at all. Even if we can survive, it will be like rats, trying to hide in every corner, and there would be no place to expand whatsoever."
Hu-er Ran continued in a solemn voice, "This battle, should we lose, the Central Plains will not belong to us, but to those intelligent zombies, to those freaks. We have to win, not because of Yue Zhong, but because of our people, so that they can live freely out in the Central Plains. If we lose, what awaits them is hell. We can only win. Hua Bu La Ci, at this time, our only enemy is the zombies, is that clear?"
Hua Bu La Ci's heart turned cold, "Yes! Great Khan!"
The sea-like zombie horde slowly surged towards the gorge, and while their speed was not fast, it gave off an oppressive feeling.
Hu-er Ran stood at the frontlines and roared out, "Brothers, let these corpses taste our resolve! They're just a bunch of bones, and there's nothing to be afraid of! Fire!!"
He was a peak-level Evolver and when summoning his Dou Qi, he could unleash his voice for miles to be heard.
Bolstered by his shout, the morale of the 3rd Brigade soared highly, as they begun to aim and fire at the zombies.
Da da da!
With the dense gunfire, the rain of bullets buffeted the zombies, striking them to the ground, which marked the prelude to the battle for Central Plains.
Li Guang stood in front of his 1st Regiment, pulling out his blade and roared, "Our 1st Regiment is the strongest existence of the Central Plains, and we definitely cannot bring shame to this title! Let us use our firepower and weapons to return this undead to the ground!! Use their corpses to exchange for our glory!"
Lie Ming Yi stood in front of his 2nd Brigade and shouted at the top of his voice as well, "This battle concerns the life-and-death of everyone here in the Central Plains. If we win, everyone's expenditure in pleasures will be borne by your father I! However, those who don't put in their all, don't blame your father I for not giving you face!"
The various commanders riled up their troops, preparing them for the upcoming battle.
Countless bullets rained down on the zombies, causing large numbers of them to fall. A single artillery round could easily wipe out hundreds of zombies in one go. However, facing the millions of zombies, the artillery could not possibly stop the advance.
However, with the various fortifications and structures set up, the soldiers were able to impede the zombies slightly.
Tian Yue Canyon was the place that Yue Zhong chose to place his heavy firepower on. The millions of zombies slowly began to appear outside of the canyon.
As the zombies surged towards the canyon, Yue Zhong's forces began to fire their artillery from atop, and every single round could devastate a large number of zombies on the ground.
The horde of zombies stretched for miles, and when one swept his gaze out, other than zombies, there would be nothing else. With every artillery round, it seemed that half a football field's worth of zombies would be obliterated. However, space was quickly filled up with the other zombies, and it felt extremely frustrating, as though it was never-ending.
Other than the ordinary zombies, there were all sorts of evolved zombies mixed within. From time to time, they would charge into the defense posts, killing a few people before being annihilated. Those infected soldiers could only wait for death in an excruciating manner.
After an intense bout of artillery fire, Yue Zhong then gave an order to Bì Lǜ, "Send the Treant army!"
With a thought, 10,000 Level 20 Treants charged forth into battle, tearing into the ordinary zombies.
The moment they joined the fray, they tore apart the zombies and consumed those that were blasted apart by the artillery fire.
However, they had just gotten one round of the zombies which had been baptized by fire, when the next wave surged forwards.
Yue Zhong looked at the endless horde and called out to Liu Yue Mei, Ji Qing Wu, and Yin Shuang, "It's our turn! Let's go!"
The numbers were truly staggering, even if Yue Zhong were to use all his cannons and artillery on the sea of zombies, it was not enough to wipe them entirely. He could only employ all other means as well.
24 Thunder Fighters flew out, carrying Yue Zhong and his team, as they flew above the horde.
Not long after, inside one of the Thunder Fighters, Liu Yue Mei suddenly grabbed her heads in slight pain as she pointed below, "There's a commander here!"
Yue Zhong ordered, "Commence firing!"
Immediately, the Thunder Fighter released a large number of cluster bombs in the area pointed out by Liu Yue Mei.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
After the area was enveloped by the intense flames, all the zombies were incinerated.
Within seconds, Liu Yue Mei spoke with a pale face, "It's eliminated."
Yue Zhong looked below, and saw the zombies that had been advancing forwards earlier, stopped in their tracks, staring blankly ahead. His heart relaxed slightly, as he knew he found the solution to the horde.
Liu Yue Mei suddenly hugged her head in pain again, pointing to the east, "It's here again! There're a few commanders there!"
Yue Zhong immediately commanded, "Fly to the east!"
The 24 Thunder Fighters immediately headed east.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
As Liu Yue Mei pointed, a large number of Z-types were being annihilated quickly time after time, and the advance of the millions of zombies began to suffer some chaos.
The Z-types were all in control of certain patches, and there was a certain hierarchy to them. The higher level ones controlled the lower level ones, which in turn, controlled the ordinary zombies, resulting in the huge horde. They were like commanders of an army and were indispensable.
Losing the command of the Z-types, many zombies began to just stop and stare blankly at the frontlines of the battle. They were either bombarded to death or lost their heads to the countless bullets spraying everywhere.
As Yue Zhong brought Liu Yue Mei to deal with the Z-Types within the horde, there were a few human-like entities eyeing the 24 Thunder Fighters in the skies coldly.
One of them was a young humanoid of about 2m, his body covered in scales, a handsome face with a pair of blood-red eyes. He was speaking to another humanoid beside him, who was 3m tall, his body full of rippling muscles, his skin black and his claws long and sharp. He had a long tail that swung, while his expression was savage. The younger one said, "Chi You, what do you think?"
Chi You glanced at the 24 Thunder Fighters in the skies with a fierce glint as he shook his head, "Xuan Yuan! I have no anti-air ability! Unless those helicopters land, I have no way to deal with them."
Xuan Yuan's eyes flashed with a demonic glint as he turned to another strange beast beside him. This strange beast had a pair of large wings, its body covered with strange tentacles. It had a snake-head, and its body was about 5m. Xuan Yuan said, "Feng Bo! Go deal with those helicopters! These mechanical inventions are the bane of us zombies! They want to wipe our zombie race away with these machines, as long as we destroy them, victory is ours! From the brains of some of the humans I've consumed, I learned that this army belongs to this human called Yue Zhong. As long as we wipe them out, the northern parts of China will be our playground. We can rear and hunt humans as we please. The taste of those human experts is truly delicious. Every time I think about that Evolver whose head I ripped off, I feel so excited. I can't bring myself to taste any other types of humans anymore."
Xuan Yuan, Chi You and Feng Bo were highly intelligent life forms evolved out from the 20 million zombies in the capital. Each of them possessed a terrifying strength, and it was them who had gathered the 20 million zombies to launch an attack on Yue Zhong's faction.
Feng Bo's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, as he licked his lips, laughing out savagely, "Keke!! I like to consume human experts as well. After destroying those 24 Thunder Fighters, and destroying Yue Zhong's factions, I want half of the experts!"

Chapter 695: Terrifying Feng Bo!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Xuan Yuan revealed a cruel expression, "Fine! As long as you can destroy those 24 helicopters, half of the experts will belong to you."
"Deal!"
Feng Bo also had a savage expression on his face as he flapped his wings. With a gust of wind, he shot towards the skies in a flash.
Feng Bo's speed was faster than the speed of sound, and in a few breaths, he had appeared in front of one of the Thunder Fighters. He leaped right in front of the cockpit, smiling dangerously at the shocked pilot. He then slashed out with his claws, tearing through the windshield of the helicopter that was able to withstand even 25mm caliber bullets, tearing the pilot's head off as well.
Feng Bo killed the pilot in a single strike, and he opened his mouth, his long tongue shooting out from his mouth and sweeping through the entire Thunder Fighter as though it had a life of its own.
Blood gushed out in sprays, as the 4 elite Evolvers inside the Thunder Fighter were ripped at their waists.
Feng Bo then swished his tongue, flicking the corpses into his mouth, and crunched down with a greedy look. Blood flowed out his sharp teeth, giving him an appearance of a demon from hell.
Having lost its pilot, the Thunder Fighter wobbled and descended in a nosedive.
As it crashed into the ground, its outstanding design shone through, and it didn't explode. Instead, the impact was absorbed through the alloys it was made out of, and its nose became slightly deformed.
Feng Bo's bloody tongue flicked out to taste the organs and blood splattered on his face, as he called out in drunken relish, "Delicious! So delicious! This is the taste of human experts! It truly is amazing, I can feel the cells of my body evolving! As long as I can eat another 1,000 more, I can evolve once more and become stronger!!"
"Another 23 more! Great! There're still so many delicious humans in the skies!" Feng Bo's tongue uncurled out, full of spikes as he eyed the remaining Thunder Fighters in the skies with an excited look.
He flapped his wings and a gust of wind enveloped his body, sending him hurtling towards the next Thunder Fighter at the speed of sound.
In a few breaths, Feng Bo appeared on top of that Thunder Fighter and tore through its armor with his claws. His tongue shot in and instantly decimated the 5 Evolvers within.
"Damn bastard!!"
Feng Bo had destroyed 2 Thunder Fighters in a manner of seconds, attracting the attention of Yue Zhong's army. The rest of the Thunder Fighters adjusted their formation and started to fire their cannons at Feng Bo.
The bullets fired out like shooting stars, yet they just passed through his body.
"Afterimage?" One of the pilots saw the cannons passing through Feng Bo's body and his face fell.
"You want to kill me with such firepower? What a joke! Go to hell!" Feng Bo laughed out savagely, as he appeared in front of another Thunder Fighter and clawed through the windshield. His tongue shot out and tore the soldiers within into two, pulling their corpses into his mouth as he began to savor them.
"What a terrifying creature!" Yue Zhong saw how easily Feng Bo dodged the bullets and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
While this Feng Bo's speed could not match the Type 4 Flame Bird, he was not any slower than the Type 3 Greenie. Furthermore, he had intelligence, and if no one were to stop him, he could single-handedly destroy all 24 Thunder Fighters.
The Thunder Fighter was a creation during the apocalypse and its firepower and defense were all top-notch, surpassing even the designs of before the apocalypse. However, it was still a helicopter at the end of the day, and its speed could not match a fighter jet. Hence, Feng Bo was a natural bane for them, considering his speed.
All the pilots had looks of despair as they looked at Feng Bo helplessly. They had wiped out their own fair share of zombies with the Thunder Fighters they controlled. Even against the Kingdom of God, they had the confidence to fair well in battle. Yet, against this Feng Bo, even locking onto his position was tough, not to mention fighting against him.
"Seems like it's time for me to make my move!" Yue Zhong breathed in deep, before telling Ji Qing Wu, "Continue to eradicate those Z-types, leave this monster to me."
After which, Yue Zhong leaped out from the Thunder Fighter. The moment he jumped out, his Dark Wind Alloy Wings unfolded and the runes shone, as a gust of wind surrounded his body and sent him soaring towards Feng Bo.
Feng Bo looked at Yue Zhong and laughed savagely, "Oh! A human that can fly, this is the first time I'm seeing this. Oh right, I know who you are, you're the leader of the humans in the Central Plains, Yue Zhong."
Yue Zhong stared at him and could feel the suffocating sense of danger radiating from him. With the help of his Danger Perception, every single cell of his body was warning him that this enemy in front of him was the strongest that he had ever met, even more dangerous than the Apostles from the Kingdom of God. The nearer he got to him, the stronger the trembling and fear of his body.
He took a deep breath to suppress the instinct to flee, and spoke slowly, "How do you know about me? This should be the first time that we've met."
"Simple. We just have to consume the brains of you humans and can easily possess your knowledge. I've just consumed 20 human brains earlier, each and every one of them possesses information about you. They seem to hold you in high regard! Come, let me eat your brain as well, that way, you can be with them forever, as part of me! Haha!!"
Feng Bo cackled, and flapped his wings, disappearing with a powerful gust of wind. He then suddenly appeared in front of Yue Zhong and slashed out.
"Fast!!" Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps, and his Agility increased to a level of 30 times, and barely managed to swing his Flame Blade to block the attack.
Dang!
As the blade and claws met, a powerful energy traveled up the Flame Blade, and Yue Zhong was sent flying back a few meters from the horrific strength.
After sending Yue Zhong back, Feng Bo laughed out savagely and opened its huge mouth to fire its tongue at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong immediately felt a huge sense of danger and began to circulate his Dark Dou Qi, furiously enhancing his strength. He managed to pull forth strength to dodge the incoming tongue.
The Flame Blade that was made out of the sharp claws of a Type 4 Mutant Beast, together with the enhancement of Yue Zhong's Dark Dou Qi finally had some effect, as the blow left a deep wound on Feng Bo's tongue.
However, it was just that after the tongue was sliced, it slammed into Yue Zhong's left shoulder forcefully, shattering the bone carapace, and the sharp spikes pierced through the Type 4 Mutant Sea Snake hide, as well as the Level 4 Defense Vest, before being stopped by Yue Zhong's own Body of Steel.
Even so, Yue Zhong was still struck in his shoulder, and the impact caused his body to tremble as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body hurtling down like a cannonball.
Yue Zhong's heart shook from that single blow, "Strong!! This monster is truly too strong!!"
Feng Bo's tongue curled, and the wound that was caused by the Flame Blade began to heal at a visible speed, within 5 seconds, it had already recovered fully.
He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a savage glint as he cackled, "You actually managed to injure me! As a human, that was something noteworthy. Even so, no matter how much you struggle, it would not change your fate. In front of me, there's only despair! Now I want to eat you more."
Feng Bo flapped his wings and a gust of wind blew. He disappeared from his location and reappeared behind Yue Zhong, his claws making a grab for Yue Zhong's heart.
Every single cell in Yue Zhong's body was screaming out danger, as he wrapped himself up with his Dark Dou Qi. His Dark Wind Alloy Wings suddenly twisted towards Feng Bo's claws and slashed down.
Other than being capable of flight, the Wings could deflect bullets and even attack based on the owner's intentions.
The powerful Dark Wind Alloy Wings sliced the right shoulder of Feng Bo, causing a huge gash.
At the same time, Yue Zhong relied on his abundant battle experience to force his body to its extreme. The dangerous blow from Feng Bo managed to slice through the bone carapace of Yue Zhong's left abdomen, tearing through the Type 4 Giant Sea Snake's hide, and cause a large wound on his chest as well. Fresh blood flowed, splattering on the ground below.
As his body was still twisted to deal with that blow, Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a stubborn glint. He activated his Gravity Manipulation, and a powerful gravitational force weighed down suddenly on Feng Bo, causing his body to shudder.

Chapter 696: Yue Zhong Gravely Injured!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong's Flame Blade slashed out at the speed of sound, clashing against Feng Bo's body. The sharp blade tore through his flesh, resulting in a deep gash, as blackened blood poured out.
Feng Bo's eyes flashed with a vicious glint, the tail on his back swinging violently towards Yue Zhong.
WIth a wave of his hands, a shield of light appeared in front of Yue Zhong.
Feng Bo's powerful tail struck the shield, which shattered apart like an egg. The tail continued in its swing without losing momentum, slamming against Yue Zhong's left shoulder.
Dang!
There was a loud sound and the bone carapace shattered. Yue Zhong also shot through the skies like a cannonball. The impact had caused his inner organs to shudder, as a mouthful of blood rose in his chest yet again. He was gravely injured this time.
"Strong! His Strength and Agility is likely superior to Yin Shuang. What a terrifying creature. It truly is an evolved intelligent life form and is likely to be stronger than an Apostle!"
Yue Zhong channeled his blood and strength, firing out 10 sharp bone spikes while still in mid-air.
"Interesting! Interesting!! The more interesting you are, the more I want to devour you!! Your blood, your brains, will all be nutrients for me. Kekekeke!!"
The bone blades had fired out too suddenly, Feng Bo did not expect such a counter-attack from him. However, he continued to cackle evilly, his claws grabbing towards the bone spikes.
As he grabbed the various bone spikes, he would crush down with his claws, shattering the bone spikes,
He managed to crush 8 of the bone blades, but 2 managed to pierce Feng Bo.
Then, a terrifying scene occurred. The bone spikes that could pierce through even the thickest of armored vehicles, were actually stopped by the flesh of Feng Bo.
"It seems that your bone blades are not sharp enough!! They can't even penetrate my body!! Keke!!"
Feng Bo laughed out savagely and grabbed the bone blades, flinging them away. He then flapped his wings once more, as powerful gusts of winds were generated around him before he appeared right in front of Yue Zhong with an imposing aura. He reached out with his right claw, throwing a punch towards Yue Zhong.
Although Feng Bo's body was affected by the Gravity field around Yue Zhong, his movements seemed to be unaffected. This was because his body was simply too strong, and the additional gravity could not affect him much.
"My Stamina, Endurance and combat ability cannot match up to this freak. I need to kill him fast, otherwise, all that awaits is death."
Yue Zhong thought to himself, a look of resolution appearing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, and the Dark Dou Qi poured out of him. The Dark Wind Alloy Wings radiated as well, the runes shining brightly, and Yue Zhong's speed was pushed to the maximum.
He slammed towards Feng Bo viciously.
"You want to risk it all? Haha! Just a puny human and you want to go down with me? Go to hell!"
Feng Bo watched Yue Zhong shooting towards him, his eyes shining with a hint of ridicule. He roared out and rushed to meet Yue Zhong.
At the moment of impact, Yue Zhong pressed slightly upwards, allowing Feng Bo claws to slice through his chest.
He forcefully endured the pain and channeled his Dark Dou Qi, and activated his Body of Steel to lock Feng Bo's claws in place.
Despite his strength, under Yue Zhong's Dark Dou Qi, his Body of Steel combined with his powerful Endurance and physique, Feng Bo's right claw was sealed.
"Freak! Die!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with an unbridled madness, as he pushed his Devil Flame to the maximum. The terrifying Second Order Devil Flames instantly enveloped Feng Bo's body.
If he had activated this skill from afar, Feng Bo was likely able to evade it with his speed. However, at such close proximity, he could not get away.
Within the flames, Feng Bo struggled madly as he roared out and sent a punch at Yue Zhong, "Damn ant!!"
Yue Zhong's wings immediately folded to meet the blow.
Feng Bo's terrifying fist slammed into Yue Zhong's wings, causing even those equipment to be twisted.
Yue Zhong himself was sent shooting towards the distance. His chest had swelled up to a terrifying degree due to the injury caused by Feng Bo. A large amount of fresh blood was flowing.
Yue Zhong's chest was ripped badly by Feng Bo, while his entire body had suffered from the few attacks earlier. With the loss of blood and slight rupture of his organs, he was in great pain, as though he was suffering in hell. Both his shoulders had been shattered. He was starting to get light-hearted. Even if he was an Evolver, he was still a human and had his limits.
Even under such circumstances, Yue Zhong bit harshly down on his lips, the pain shaking him awake. He reached out with his right hand and conjured a Devil Flame Spear to fling it at Feng Bo.
The powerful Devil Flame Spear penetrated Feng Bo's body and erupted, causing a huge hole while the flames burned his insides, and one could see smoke and smell flesh being cooked.
Feng Bo continued to scream while enveloped by the flames, "You can't kill me!! You can't kill me!! I'm the strongest!!"
All of a sudden, his aura seemed to surge, as a green radiance burst out and doused the Devil Flames.
The moment the Devil Flames were extinguished forcefully, his countenance became extremely pale and weak, while parts of his body could be seen charred and smoking. Even the wound caused by the exploding Devil Flame Spear had not healed.
Just when Feng Bo looked as though he had escaped from certain death, a number of anti-air rockets fired upon his body, exploding upon contact.
Bombarded by those rockets, pieces of meat rained down from the sky, as the terrifying Feng Bo was finally vanquished and blasted apart.
Seeing how Feng Bo was blasted apart, Yue Zhong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He allowed the pain to set in, and the intensity of the broken bones and displaced organs finally wrecked him. His brows furrowed deeply as he coughed uncontrollably after a deep breath, coughing mouthfuls of blood.
Forcefully suppressing the pain, he spurred the Dark Wing Alloy Wings on his back and flew towards one of the Thunder Fighters.
Xuan Yuan's eyes flashed eerily, as he lifted his head, his tone sullen, "Feng Bo's killed."
Chi You laughed bitterly, his gaze ferocious as well, "Feng Bo that idiot, he underestimated his enemy. That person's strength can't compare with him at all!"
Xuan Yuan looked at the remaining 20 Thunder Fighters and spoke, "What do we do now? We don't have the ability to fly. While they don't possess any threat to us, we can't do anything to them as well."
Chi You and Xuan Yuan were both powerful creatures, surpassing even Feng Bo, but they could not engage in aerial fights.
Chi You had a look of self-confidence, "No need to worry. That person called Yue Zhong is already injured to such an extent, he won't live for long. Once he dies, victory is ours. In the history of humankind, once the leader is dead, the rest would crumble. Even if they didn't, how can they be a match for our millions of troops?"
It was hard to deal with the millions of zombies, even if all the armies of the world prior to the apocalypse joined together, not to mention the scattered remains of humanity now.
Xuan Yuan nodded when he heard this, looking towards the skies and falling into contemplation.
The moment Yue Zhong landed in the Thunder Fighter, a large amount of blood from his wounds caused the interior of the helicopter to be splattered red.
"Yue Zhong, what happened?! Quick, apply some medicine!" Ji Qing Wu caught sight of Yue Zhong's heavily injured body, her face turning pale as her eyes teared up. She became slightly frantic as she pulled out her bag of Life-Saving Grass and applied them to Yue Zhong's wounds.
A gust of wind blew past, as Yin Shuang appeared beside Yue Zhong. Her face was full of worry as she asked, "Father!! Father!! How did you become like this?"
Liu Yue Mei could not help but cover her mouth in shock as she saw the various injuries on Yue Zhong, her face turning pale.
Bai Xiao Sheng looked at Yue Zhong and his expression turned grave as well, "Boss Yue!! Hang in there!! We're turning back now, we'll find someone to patch you up!!"
Bai Xiao Sheng had followed Yue Zhong for so long, and fought alongside him in so many battles, vanquishing countless enemies. Other than his lustful nature, he lacked ambition. Yue Zhong had treated him well and thus, he was equally loyal to Yue Zhong.
"No! We can't turn back! Cough! Cough!" Yue Zhong gasped out before struck with a bout of coughing, fresh blood coming out his mouth.
He continued amidst his coughing fits, "Continue to eradicate the Z-types, this battle, we must definitely win! Furthermore, don't let anyone know about my condition! Otherwise, martial law will be passed! Cough! Cough!!"
This battle was a crucial one which concerned the new rulers of the Central Plains. Should they lose, the rest of the Central Plains and China would follow suit.

Chapter 697: Persistence!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Not only would humans be pushed further and further back, but as long as the evolved intelligent zombie life forms were to control the S3s, S4s, and Hunters to launch an all-out assault, they could easily overrun the human troops.
At the same time, with the loss of industrial cities and production lines, the expenditure of resources and ammunitions could not be compensated, making the task for the human soldiers even tougher.
Once the zombie army was to overrun all the cities that Yue Zhong had painstakingly recovered, then the humans would have to fall back like rats and hide where they could. Even if they could evade death, there would be no more future, nor hope.
Ji Qing Wu grabbed Yue Zhong's hands gingerly as though he was the most precious object on earth, and pleaded with her melodious voice, "Yue Zhong, you're already like this. Can we just go back to patch you up? Treat it as I'm begging you. Please head back. I will stay here to wipe out all the Z-Types. I will assure you with my life, to hunt them all down. Please go back and get some treatment."
This was the first time Ji Qing Wu was this agitated, her cool composure entirely absent.
Ji Qing Wu's Ji Clan was considered the servants to Chen Yao's Chen Clan. Even to Chen Yao, who was considered half her master, Ji Qing Wu had never pleaded this profusely before. At this moment, Yue Zhong's position had finally overtaken Chen Yao as the most important person in her life. She reaffirmed her own feelings towards him.
Yue Zhong's countenance was pale and his chest was bleeding, yet his eyes were as bright as ever as he turned to fix his gaze on Liu Yue Mei, "No!! I've made up my mind, there's no need to try and persuade me otherwise. Liu Yue Mei, continue!! The fate of the millions of survivors in Central Plains rests on you!!"
Without her, Yue Zhong might not have brazenly try to attack the capital. He had not expected the appearance of evolved life forms capable of commanding the 20 million-strong zombie horde, as well as ones whose fighting capabilities were so terrifying.
Liu Yue Mei looked at this man, who was so gravely injured and yet so insistent on fighting the zombies without a shred of hesitation, and finally understood why so many soldiers were willing to give their lives for him, without a word of complaint even in death.
If it had been a normal official, he would have long since hidden in the safety of his own base, who would be willing to fight on the frontlines with the soldiers?
Of course, Yue Zhong's style had a huge shortcoming, which was that, should he die, the rest of the troops would immediately collapse.
Liu Yue Mei was also a strong woman, and she walked up to the pilot Zhao Tian Gang and said, "I got it! In that direction, there's a commander-type!"
With her directions, Zhao Tian Gang quickly collected his chaotic emotions and brought the Thunder Fighter releasing huge numbers of cluster bombs on the patch of zombies. The unfortunate zombies below were immediately blasted apart, together with the Z-Type hiding within.
Yue Zhong sat on a sofa, opening up a can of Type 4 Mutant Beast meat and consumed it, His chest had been ripped apart by Feng Bo, had it been any other normal person, they would have died. However, for Yue Zhong, with this Dark Dou Qi, the vitality of his cells were enhanced, and together with the Level 4 Regeneration skill, his wounds had already stopped bleeding.
The large quantity of Type 4 Mutant Beast meat also helped, transforming into nourishment, pushing the recovery of Yue Zhong's body.
Every time he gobbled down a can of meat, his body would be wracked by a bout of pain, which could drive someone insane. However, after countless battles, his fortitude was as strong as one could be, and each time the pain struck, his face would just be contorted, as he gasped. However, he gritted through it and continued to eat. In order to live and heal, he had to gain enough energy.
Having evolved to this point, with the Regeneration ability, as well as his Vitality, reaching 294 points, coupled with the enhancement of his Dark Dou Qi, Yue Zhong only had 3 weak points, his head, his heart and his digestive systems.
If his head or heart was destroyed, Yue Zhong would definitely die. If his stomach was destroyed, and the rest of his body was injured as well, he could not take food to hasten the healing process, which could cause death should the recovery happen too slowly.
Yue Zhong swallowed down cans after cans of Type 4 Beast Meat, and it felt like his chest was being sliced apart by a knife. The healing wounds would start to split, causing the new muscle to reform, and the pain from the constant tear and healing could drive a person to wish for death.
Even so, while his will was resolute, the pain did not recede. His entire body was covered with perspiration. Within 5 minutes, his face and body were entirely wet, and his eyes seemed to lose focus. He continued to shove food down mechanically, his attention focused on bearing with the pain, with no capacity to care about anything else.
Ji Qing Wu watched Yue Zhong covered entirely in sweat and continued to help wipe him off. Her heart ached, yet she was helpless.
Ji Qing Wu had the Biological Armor, which could help repair the user's body. However, since it was already bound to Ji Qing Wu on the first usage, she could not utilize it to help Yue Zhong.
Yin Shuang could feel Yue Zhong's pain as well, as she curled up quietly beside him, looking at his wounds with a face of worry. This was the first time since she was born that she was overcome with fear and anxiety. She was extremely afraid of losing Yue Zhong.
After all, a chest injury of this extent would be considered grave even for Yin Shuang. If it wasn't for the Regeneration skill that Yue Zhong possessed, together with the Dark Dou Qi, as well as the high Vitality he possessed, he might already be a corpse.
Bai Xiao Sheng looked at Yue Zhong, his gaze complicated, "Boss, you must not die. If you die, we're all finished. You haven't even raised a successor yet!!"
Yue Zhong's power was extensive, controlling the Central Plains, Hunan, Guang Xi, Vietnam, Japan and Country A. These various bases were all linked together, and as long as Yue Zhong was around, no one dared to contest his might. However, should he die, the upper echelons of all 6 places would not submit to anyone else, and all that he build up would crumble.
Throughout history, many powerful kingdoms had fallen due to the deaths of capable leaders. Power could change hands as easily as anything.
As Liu Yue Mei continued to point out the positions of the Z-Types, the areas would be bombarded. With each Z-Type eradicated, a large number of ordinary zombies would stop moving. They would then be flattened into meat paste by the zombies behind, or they would become targets to be fired upon.
The huge horde of zombies was simply endless, even as many of them were being eradicated by Yue Zhong's troops, there didn't seem to be an end to them.
In fact, the most fearsome thing about the sea of zombies was that it seemed impossible to wipe them out. Regardless of how many they fought or killed, there was no end to it, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel tired and a sense of despair. Those with weaker minds would lose their fighting spirit easily.
As the Thunder Fighter carrying Yue Zhong flew over the area where Xuan Yuan was at, Xuan Yuan turned to look up at the Thunder Fighter, "Oh! I was wondering how come they can locate our commanders so easily, turns out there's a person among the humans who can locate us! Let me teach you a lesson then."
At an instant, Liu Yue Mei doubled over, kneeling down. Blood began to flow from her nose and mouth, as she grabbed her heart and gasped, "Below… There's a powerful being below… It is very strong, my Spirit cannot compare with it. I have never met such a strong commander-type before, it should be the one controlling the entire horde!"
Hearing her words, Yue Zhong who was semi-conscious began to stir. His body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth as though to say something, but the pain racking his body made it extremely hard.
Ji Qing Wu pressed his head and ordered Zhao Tian Gang, "We must eradicate that leader at all cost!"
"Yes! Attack!"
Zhao Tian Gang responded and immediately gave the order to attack.
Immediately, a number of cluster bombs were dropped on the area, as machine guns and rockets were fired freely at the location that Liu Yue Mei pointed.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Following some explosions, the entire region was consumed by flames, and many zombies were blasted apart. 6 huge L4s were even obliterated under that mass bombing, before being burned alive by the flames from the cluster bombs.
Zhao Tian Gang asked, full of expectations, "Is it dead? Major Liu!!"
As long as the leader was wiped, the horde of zombies would be easier to deal with. Without the leader, the zombies would just be sheep awaiting slaughter, at the expense of ammunition.
Liu Yue Mei grabbed her head and curled further, her expression extremely pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood, "No! They're not dead! There're 2 of them! Cough!"
Below, a gust of wind blew past, amidst the destruction, 2 figures slowly appeared. They were Chi You and Xuan Yuan.

Chapter 698: Threat of Missiles!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Xuan Yuan lifted his head, eyeing the Thunder Fighter and spoke indifferently, "I was actually underestimated. These humans dare to think of us as equal to those ant-like Z-Types. Such an attack cannot harm us at all!"
Chi You looked at the Thunder Fighter as well, chuckling with menace, "No matter how strong their weapons, it's useless if they don't perform. With the monkey-like intelligence of these humans, it's too much to expect them to understand this."
Both of them were evolved beings with high intelligence among the zombies, with a terrifying combat strength exceeding even that of Yin Shuang's. Even Yue Zhong had to give his all, and sacrificed his body, together with the attacks of the Thunder Fighter, just to take out Feng Bo.
If an ordinary person wanted to take out Xuan Yuan and Chi You, it was practically impossible. If it weren't for the Thunder Fighters being airborne, they would have been easily crushed by the 2 freaks.
Right at this time, Zhao Tian Gang suddenly had a change of expression, "Leader!! Leader!! There's revolt, there're people rebelling in Ulan Town!!"
When Yue Zhong heard this, he became enraged and coughed out a mouth of fresh blood, "What?!"
Yue Zhong and his subordinates had went to the frontlines, putting themselves in danger, all for the sake of protecting the lives of the millions of survivors. This was an important time and critical situation, and the people they were protecting actually tried to stab them in the back. Anyone would be infuriated.
Ji Qing Wu hugged him, without caring about the blood or perspiration and tried to calm him down, "Don't be agitated, Yue Zhong, your body cannot take it. Those fellows would definitely not succeed. It's not worth it harming your body over them."
Ji Qing Wu was also angry about those people, but she was even more concerned about Yue Zhong's health, and could not help but try to calm him down.
Yue Zhong suppressed his pain to order, "Lock down the news. Don't let it spread."
Should it travel to the front lines, it would affect the 6 units. After all, these 6 units were focused on facing 20 billion zombies, the pressure they were facing was extremely high. Should there be news of a revolt, their mindset would be affected.
Zhao Tian Gang immediately responded, "Yes!"
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Contact the missile base! Convey my order! Fire the No. 3 missile on coordinates X00234, Y00567."
Zhao Tian Gang's expression turned to one of shock, "Missile? Leader, are you really going to fire that missile?"
Missiles were terrifying weapons that humans created. Ever since they presented the devastation they were capable of, they had all been sealed. They had always been used in threats and power showcases, rather than actual firing.
The moment one was fired, the radius of the blast zone would be contaminated with radiation, one which would not dissipate even after a hundred years. No one in the right mind would fire it into his own backyard.
"Tian Gang, execute the order! I'll bear the consequences!! This battle, we definitely cannot lose!! Quick! Cough! Cough!" Yue Zhong gasped out, before going into another fit.
Zhao Tian Gang was already a seasoned soldier, and he immediately contacted the missile base, replying Yue Zhong, "Yes! Leader!"
"This is the nuclear missile base, I'm the person in charge, Major Liu Jin He."
Yue Zhong gritted his teeth through the pain and came to the communications device, "This is Yue Zhong. I'm ordering you to immediately fire the 3rd Missile on coordinates, X00234, Y00567. The password is XBJWYEG2347654590."
"Leader!! Please wait a moment!!" After a while, Liu Jin He keyed in the password and confirmed it was Yue Zhong before trying to affirm Yue Zhong's decision, "Firing Missile No.3, target coordinates X00234, Y00567. Please confirm again if you want to go through with the decision, Leader!"
Yue Zhong's face was pale as he hacked a few more times, "Immediately! Fire it at the fastest you can! This concerns the life and death of all survivors of the Central Plains!! Cough cough!!"
Liu Jin He's heart turned cold, "Yes!"
"Let's leave!!"
After passing the order, Yue Zhong told Zhao Tian Gang. If they didn't leave in time, they would also be caught in the blast and become corpses.
Xuan Yuan watched the 20 Thunder Fighters retreating and slowly said, "They're flying away!"
Chi You let out a chuckle in ridicule, "Seems like Yue Zhong is dead and they're rushing to head back to keep things under control. Humans are such pathetic creatures that concern themselves with such authority and hope. However, their flesh, blood, and brains are delicious! Keke!"
Xuan Yuan thought for a while, before smiling, "That's true!"
Xuan Yuan and Chi You had consumed plenty of human brains and learned a lot of knowledge. They were clear that once Yue Zhong, a leader of the humans, were to die, many of them would struggle for his authority and power. In fact, humans were much uglier and stupid than they had imagined, seeing that the zombies had not yet been eliminated, and they were already scrambling for power.
Chi You's eyesight was powerful, and saw a missile flying towards their position, "Ah! What's that?"
"Long-range missile, so they still have such a move. What a pity, it would not be able to kill us."
Xuan Yuan eyed the rocket and laughed coldly, disappearing from his position.
Chi You also flashed and appeared about 400m away in a second.
With such terrifying speed, it didn't matter what rockets or missiles were launched at them, Xuan Yuan and Chi You could dodge them easily. However, these weren't ordinary missiles, but the apex of all explosives!
Hong!
The moment the bomb landed, it resulted in a terrifying explosion, and the blast spread out at the speed of light, enveloping Chi You and Xuan Yuan.
Chi You's body immediately revealed a white light to try and block the effects of the blast, but at the next instant, the light disintegrated, and the searing heat covered Chi You, causing his body that was capable of blocking even grenades, to slowly break apart.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?! This is the nuclear missile! It's the nuclear missile!!!" Amidst his screams of horror and pain, Chi You was slowly broken down.
Xuan Yuan also roared out in rage and pain, before being destroyed by the searing heat, "Nuclear bomb!! What a vicious move!! Vicious!!!!"
The moment the missile landed, the powerful explosion covered a wide radius, and all that it consumed turned to ash, as a huge mushroom cloud blossomed in the sky. The nearby zombies were all wiped out, not even the L4s could withstand such a terrifying strike.
Many zombies were caught up in powerful winds that blew and were sent flying, while others had been affected by the resulting shockwave, that caused their bodies to burst apart as well.
At that time of the impact, the resulting tremor had caused even the canyon to tremble, causing many soldiers to panic.
Yue Zhong eyed the devastation from afar, his eyes flashing with a complicated gaze, "Are they finished?"
Within a hundred years from today, the area of impact would become a no-mans-land for years to come.
After the explosion, the number of zombies which was about 8 million (with over 1 million dying to the various artillery and nuclear bomb) instantly came to a stop, their attacks ceased. Of which, 2 million of them began to escape towards the capital.
The remaining zombies began to disperse towards different directions.
Since Xuan Yuan and Chi You had died, their control over the Z-Types had completely disappeared. This led to the few Z-Types controlling their own groups to protect them as they fled, fearing the nuclear bomb.
Another 4 million were still standing there blankly on the battlefield, not advancing nor retreating. This was the result of having lost command.
The Z-Type over this 4 million had long been annihilated since Liu Yue Mei pointed its position out, and thus the zombies were waiting for another Z-Type to command them.
Yue Zhong watched the chaos unfold among the zombies, and heaved a sigh of relief, "We finally won!"
Disrupting the main force of over 10 million zombies was a huge motivation to the rest of the 5 main battlefields, and with this, Yue Zhong could also deploy his troops to support the other battlefields.
Since the 3 powerful intelligent lifeforms Xuan Yuan, Chi You and Feng Bo had died, the control they had over the other 5 battlefields was gone as well.
However, there were still Z3s at the other locations, they had not yet experienced the terror of the nuclear bomb. Hence, after Xuan Yuan and Chi You were killed, the battle still went on at the other 5 locations.
The information continued to stream to Yue Zhong, revealing the brutal nature of war, and the rising casualty count of his troops.
Bai Xiao Sheng came up to Yue Zhong and asked, "Boss, what do we do now? Do we go back to quell the rebellion or assist the other battlefields?"
Yue Zhong responded solemnly, "Go support the other battlefields. I have left the task of quelling the chaos to Lian Da Zhong and Ya Tong. Those people are just some clowns. Our first task is to help our brothers and comrades!!"
"Tian Gang, fly to the 2nd Brigade. We shall help the 2nd Brigade with their side first. " Yue Zhong then turned to Liu Yue Mei, whose face was still pale, and asked, "Yue Mei, how do you feel? Can you hold on?"
She leaned against the sofa and sipped some Divine Spring Tea and laughed coquettishly at Yue Zhong, "Compared to you, my injuries aren't much. As long as there're no more monsters like earlier, I'll be fine."

Chapter 699: Rebellion!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Down with the dictator Yue Zhong!"
"Long live democracy! Long live freedom!"
"Down with Yue Zhong!"
Ulan City, which had been a vital location of support, was currently plunged into chaos. A number of rebel soldiers were taking arms against the government district.
One particular woman, with beautiful features and short hair, hollered at the top of her voice, "Yue Zhong is a dictator that does not care about the welfare of the people! He just brings his troops to war all over the place, and execute those that disagree with him. We need to bring him down and reestablish democracy! A free country!! Down with his dictatorship!!"
"Down with Yue Zhong!! Down with dictatorship!!"
A number of hot-blooded students were chanting together with the young woman. As students, they were at the age where they were most passionate and were incited to join her in rebellion.
Other than them, there were a few others who had grown disillusioned in their own posts and began causing trouble in the name of flushing out Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong had not much understanding about governance and had gone about it as per his perception of government before the apocalypse. He was harsh on corruption but other than that, he did not do anything special nor was he a genius at governing. Furthermore, he had been warring against the zombies constantly, pushing the logistics and backend support to their limits. Therefore, many survivors had to work extra hard to produce ammunition, clothes and all sorts of other supplies. This led to discontent.
After all, before the apocalypse, many had been living carefree lives, driving fast cars and enjoying life's pleasures. Those in the white-collar industries would head to work with a cup of coffee or tea, reading newspapers, and knocking off on time. They weren't used to the hard work at a constant 12 hours a day.
Many of these people soon gathered by the woman, who was called Lin Ran and took the opportunity to protest and rebel during the critical time as Yue Zhong was dealing with the 20 million zombies.
Normally, Yue Zhong had an iron grip over his military, and if these people dared to rebel, they would be seeking death. It was only during such a period of unrest that they dared to try. Furthermore, once they did so, it was tantamount to cutting off any path of retreat for Yue Zhong's army, and could potentially cause disastrous results for the 30,000 elites.
After all, while the 30,000 elites might be invincible existences to the rebels, to the 20 million zombies, a simple mishap could cause them to be wiped out.
Among the rebels, Situ Jin looked at the soldiers attacking the government building, his eyes flashing with a complicated gaze, as he muttered, "Is what we're doing right?"
Another soldier whose bearing was extremely neat chuckled slightly and told Situ Jin, "Commander Situ, Yue Zhong is a butcher, someone who had wrestled control of the country. He's an offender. By bringing your troops to remove him, you're a hero of the country."
Situ Jin looked at the middle-aged man and sighed, the chaos in his heart settling down.
This man was called Lin Dui Xing and was a pretty high-ranking official before the apocalypse. After he had been rescued by Yue Zhong out of the capital, he had been treated like an ordinary citizen.
It was because of his order that Situ Jin gave the command to start the rebellion. This Lin Dui Xing represented an authority from before the apocalypse after all.
Situ Jin was an old-fashioned military through and through and was only loyal towards the government of before the apocalypse. The moment Lin Dui Xing gave him an order, he had betrayed Yue Zhong and took part in the chaos. Of course, to him, he was on the right side of the law.
Ying Kong brought a battalion of soldiers near the street of the government building and roared out with fury, "Captain!! Why did you betray Leader!! Leader has been treating our brother right! He gave you authority and did not force your troops to take part in any battles you didn't wish to!! Why?! Why must you betray Leader Yue Zhong?! He is on the front lines putting his life on the line for all of us!! How dare you cut off his path of retreat?!" Situ Jin had initially thought that he can easily control the entire Ulan City and cut off Yue Zhong's retreat. However, he had never imagined his once-loyal subordinate Ying Kong to actually turn against him, defending the government building. At the same time, when Ying Kong brought out what Yue Zhong had done for them, he managed to gather a few scattered and hesitating troops over to his side. It had caused all hopes of Situ Jin quickly controlling the city to be dashed.
When Situ Jin heard those words, his face fell. He had never imagined Yue Zhong's prestige to reach such a level, causing even his subordinates to turn against him.
Yue Zhong had brought his troops to capture the surrounding cities, leading them to successive victories, and even rewarded his soldiers.
Since Situ Jin had chosen to incite the rebellion, there was no retreat for him. He could only force himself through, "Ying Kong!! Yue Zhong had not obtained the recognition from the Central Government, thus, he's a traitor! It's not too late for you to join me!"
Ying Kong responded in disappointment, "Captain!! You're muddleheaded!! Now is the time where we humans have to unite against the zombies if Leader Yue Zhong were to fail, how could we find another army to stand against them?! I might not be learned, but I know shame! Today, as long as I am not dead, you, Situ Jin, shall not pass!"
Ying Kong was filled with disappointment towards him, that he referred to him by name instead of his rank of the past.
When Situ Jin heard this, his face alternated between white and green, as he ordered loudly, "All troops, attack!!"
Under his order, 2 battalions of soldiers raised their weapons against Ying Kong and his battalion. In response, Ying Kong led his troops to cover and began an intense gunfight.
Right at this time, there was the sound of horses galloping through Ulan City. A number of Mongol soldiers riding Black Scaled Stallions charged through the city, led by Lian Da Zhong, beside him, was the vice-commander, Cha Bi Lai.
Since they were both on extremely good terms, and Cha Bi Lai used to be the commander of the reinforcement Mongolian troops, Lian Da Zhong had sought him out the moment he received the command from Yue Zhong to deal with the uprising.
Cha Bi Lai knew his chance had come when he heard this order, without hesitation, he announced his loyalty towards Yue Zhong in front of Lian Da Zhong and led his troops to follow him.
"Everyone is to get down on their knees and put down their weapons! Otherwise, they will be executed immediately!! Those who partook in the rebellion will be put to death!" The moment Lian Da Zhong entered the city, his arrogant voice resounded throughout.
Seeing the riders charging in with billowing killing intent, all those who had come out to watch the commotion quickly scurried back to their homes, leaving behind only those rebels!
"We want democracy!! Freedom!!"
"Down with Yue Zhong, down with the dictator!!"
As Lin Ran continued to lead them, the students began to gather and blocked Lian Da Zhong. They assumed that the law would still protect them, as long as they stuck united, Yue Zhong would be helpless against them.
Many of those who were smarter saw the soldiers filled with killing intent and felt that things were not right, quickly retreating towards the various corners and alleys.
Lian Da Zhong immediately gave the cold order as he watched those idiots protesting, "Kill these rebels!!"
Although he was a coward, he was someone who had carved a position and name for himself, and for his own power and position, he had not hesitated to kill a few people. As long as Yue Zhong recognized his contributions, he could rise.
Cha Bi Lai also prioritized getting in benefits and did not blink when killing. He looked at the rebels in front coldly, and shouted, "Kill!!!"
The 1,000 Mongolian riders charged right into the midst of the people, waving their blades, and a number of heads flew, as bodies were struck down.
"AH!!!"
"Help!!"
"Don't kill me!!"
The rebels died in tragic fashion, while many others fled.
Lin Ran saw her comrades being slaughtered in a hellish fashion, and her face instantly turned pale. She did not know what to do. Although she had been hollering for democracy and freedom, she was still ignorant and didn't expect Lian Da Zhong to start killing without a second word.
In her original plans, she had hoped to talk to Lian Da Zhong and negotiate in the name of democracy, delaying his troops, buying time for Situ Jin's forces. She had not yet suffered under the current system and did not know the terror of warlords.
Lian Da Zhong got the troops to surround the troublemakers and shouted, "Get down and surrender! Those who still stand shall be executed!! Those who flee will be executed!!"
He did not dare to head forward himself, just in case, they attacked him. His life was too precious, in his opinion.
Hearing his shouts, those who were initially calling for Yue Zhong to be brought down began to kneel and beg for their lives.
Lin Ran watched the rest surrender blankly when a blade suddenly flashed past her, and her beautiful head flew into the sky, as blood splatter from her neck.
The soldier that slashed her head off coldly kept his blade and did not even spare a glance at her corpse as he charged forwards.
The rest of the protesting group began to crumble and sob for their lives as those who stood were slaughtered in front of them.
Cha Bi Lai continued to lead the soldiers towards Situ Jin's troops, intending to cut off their retreat.

Chapter 700: Quelling the Rebellion!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Situ Jin was taken aback when faced with the sudden attack, however, he was still an experienced general, and quickly deployed a number of soldiers to defend the back without losing composure.
The sounds of gunshots rang throughout Ulan City, with all 3 sides fighting for their own objectives with frenzy.
Within the government building, Zhuo Ya Tong was decked in military wear, her countenance frosty. She called out solemnly, "It's time for us to head out. All units, attack!"
After which, she led the 40 elite Evolvers out herself into the battlefield.
Yue Zhong had gotten Zhuo Ya Tong to take the reins of Ulan City, and for her safety, he had left 40 Evolvers to assist her.
Ying Kong saw them come out and quickly went to ask, "Mayor Zhuo, how can you come out? What if something happens to you, how can I explain to Leader? Please head back in. I'll handle the situation out here. As long as I, Ying Kong, am alive, Situ Jin's troops would definitely not reach you."
Zhuo Ya Tong pointed to the government building and said, "I'm here to quickly vanquish Situ Jin! Watch!"
Ying Kong turned to look, only to see the Type 3 Lightning walking out of the building with billowing killing intent.
In a flash, it turned into a blur of light, and the next thing they knew, Lightning had appeared among Situ Jin's troops.
Lightning's speed was extremely fast; before Situ Jin's troops had the chance to react, it had already reached the front troops and tore off the heads of the soldiers one by one in a gruesome manner.
In a short span of time, the platoon right in front had been wiped out by Lightning. The sight of their comrades' heads flying caused the rest of the soldiers to feel horrified, and their morale plunged.
The troops of Situ JIn had been trained only to fill up the ranks of Yue Zhong's main forces. While the soldiers might have undergone some training, they lacked Evolvers, and the number of Enhancers was low as well. Not a single one of them was above Level 30.
If they were up against a proper military unit from before the apocalypse, they might have an advantage, but against the powerful Lightning whose speed was extremely fast, they were just sheep preparing to be slaughtered. They couldn't even catch sight of its movements, how could they defend?
Other than that, the 40 elite Evolvers by Zhuo Ya Tong's side had all undergone Job changes as well, and when they launched their assault on Situ Jin's forces, they were precise, quick, and ruthless. Every attack claimed the lives of the rebelling soldiers.
Situ Jin's forces were picked out from the ordinary survivors, who were then placed through training. Their combat abilities could not match up against the soldiers that were baptized by true battle. Facing those soldiers, as well as the powerful Lightning, they could only hold off the attacks for barely a while before they were eliminated easily.
"No retreat!! Anyone who does so will be executed!! No retreat!!"
As the 2 front battalions collapsed, many of the other soldiers started to abandon their posts and threw their weapons as they fled. The commanders tried to execute a few of them to make an example but they were helpless against the flood of retreating soldiers.
One by one, heads would fly because of Lightning's swiping, causing the rest of the soldiers to feel even more despair. This supplementary division that had a short history soon fell apart, even Situ Jin had no way of controlling the troops anymore.
"Kill Situ Jin this bastard!!"
"It's over!! It's over!! Kill Situ Jin and present his head, we might be able to claim amnesty!!"
"That's right!! It's all because of Situ Jin and those bastards who trick us!! Sending us to our deaths. KIll those bastards, and we can live on!!"
Surrounded on all 3 sides, those soldiers who felt that things were going south began to feel angry. Their eyes turned bloodshot as they quickly ganged up against Situ Jin, pointing their weapons on Situ Jin and his trusted aides.
Faced with the backlash, Situ JIn could only protect Lin Dui Xing as they tried to flee.
"The traitorous general Lin Chen has been killed!!"
Following the sound of cheers, Situ Jin turned to look and noticed his comrade who had gone through countless life-and-death situations with him, being sliced apart by countless blades. One soldier went forward to decapitate him, grabbing the head and hollering out in excitement.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Chen! It's all my fault!!" Situ Jin felt his heart clench, and he was filled with hatred.
"The traitorous Liu Yu has been killed! I've chopped his head off!!"
Following another excited shout, Situ Jin saw another comrade hacked by 6 or 7 different blades, his head chopped off by a soldier. The moment his head rolled, a few soldiers rushed up in a frenzy to grab it. It was their protection charm.
Yue Zhong had never mistreated his soldiers, but his vicious and decisiveness was known to all. Since he had swallowed up many factions, from time to time, random fellows who did not know their own place would try to challenge his position. These rebels would be captured and fed to the zombies while still alive before their corpses were turned to nourishment for the Mother Tree.
When these rebelling soldiers thought to the potential fate they were going to be subjected to, their hearts were filled with a chill, and they scrambled to grab onto any chance of survival they got.
"Xiao Yu!!! I've let you down!!" Situ Jin began to sob out loud, Liu Yu had been a good friend as well. At that time, Liu Yu had saved him from the mountain of corpses and even blocked a bullet for him. When he thought of the tragic end to such a young and fine soldier, his head decapitated, a death without a full corpse, Situ Jin was filled with sadness.
Following the cheers of celebration, a number of Situ Jin's trusted aides and comrades were hunted down and executed, their heads chopped off and displayed for all to see.
Making use of this chance, Situ JIn shielded Lin Dui Xing as they broke out of the perimeter together with a few other guards.
Lin Dui Xing consoled him, "Commander Situ, don't worry. Good always triumphs evil. Yue Zhong's rule is not stable, and this episode has already revealed his weakness. As long as we work hard, and gather the other forces in the name of righteousness, we will definitely be able to topple Yue Zhong's rule."
Situ Jin chuckled bitterly, his words thick with unspoken words, "En!"
Right at this time, Lian Da Zhong appeared right in front of them, flanked by a number of guards. His face radiated with excitement, "Haha!! I caught the big fish!! Capture them!!"
The hundred-odd Mongolian soldiers saw Situ Jin and Lin Dui Xing, their eyes turning red as they shot towards them.
The dozens of guards beside Situ Jin and Lin Dui Xing were easily dispatched by the Mongolian soldiers, and the 2 of them were also captured easily.
A cold blade was pressed against Lin Dui Xing's neck, and he hurriedly called out, "Brother!! I want to report a person! I want to report Situ Jin, it was he who had instigated the rebellion against Leader Yue Zhong! That's right! I also know the list of those who had ideas or are conspiring against Yue Zhong, I want to report them!"
Lian Da Zhong's eyes went wide, "Oh!! Who's there? As long as you tell me all of it, I can assure your safety!!"
Lin Dui Xing's face turned pale as he revealed everything, "There's the commander of the Cangya Mercenary Group, Li Lie, the female student Lin Ran, the boss Mo Yi Ming of the Tian Feng Restaurant…"
Situ Jin closed his eyes in pain as he heard Lin Dui Xing's words. For his own life, Lin Dui Xing had actually spat out all the core members of the resistance and rebellion. He regretted listening to this piece of trash. For this trash, he had sacrificed so many brothers and friends. Since he had emerged as the loser, he could imagine the merciless ending in store for himself.
As Lian Da Zhong listened to the various names pouring out from Lin Dui Xing's mouth, he was pleased, saying, "Good!! Good!! Good!!"
To be able to flush out so many traitors, Lian Da Zhong knew that it was his chance to really shine. He could make use of these bad eggs to climb higher.
Since Situ Jin's troops were the main fighting force, the rest of the rebel army were a random bunch. Once Situ Jin and his forces were eradicated, Lian Da Zhong had clarified with Zhuo Ya Tong, and he proceeded to bring Cha Bi Lai and his troops to go apprehend the rest of the people reported by Lin Dui Xing.
In a short span of time, the streets of Ulan City were filled with the traitors and their family members. There were so many that the jails could not accommodate them, and Zhuo Ya Tong had no choice but to stuff them in some of the bigger warehouses.
"Commander, Zhang Ru Hai of the 1st Platoon is requesting for backup."
Lie Ming Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he screamed out, "Fuck him! Tell him to hold on!! All we can send we have already sent out!! There's still an hour, even if he dies, he better hold on for one more hour! Otherwise, tell him to deliver his own head on a platter to me!"
Facing 2 million zombies for the first time gave Lie Ming Yi huge pressure. Even though he held the advantage in terrain and prepared countless traps and defense mechanisms, together with the support of his artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, he still felt the battle to be extremely frightening.
From the get-go, they had been thrown into the heat of battle, and the endless sea of zombies seemed to steamroll over every single construct they had prepared, before launching assaults on the base that Lie Ming Yi's troops were guarding.
His soldiers had put up a terrific resistance, even so, they suffered greatly, and his nerves were getting taut. It was the first time he had felt the pressure leading troops on his own. If he was not careful, the entire Brigade might die out here.

Chapter 701: Assistance!

One officer came up to Lie Ming Yi and spoke with urgency, "Not good! Commander, the zombies are scaling up the mountain!!"
"What?" Lie Ming Yi's face fell when he heard it.
The terrain that Lie Ming Yi had chosen to set up defense was narrow, and the only way through was to go through the narrow valley within the gorge. Usually, the zombies were stupid and would usually try to squeeze through the valley. However, the horde was actually trying to climb the mountain, which was a terrifying thought to Lie Ming Yi's troops.
Just defending the gorge had already caused Lie Ming Yi to lose over a hundred soldiers, on top of the destruction of the various trap and defensive structures. If the zombies were to really scale the mountain, the entire brigade would be in danger.
The troops Lie Ming Yi commanded were simply too little compared to the 2 million zombies. There was a 1:1000 difference, and without the advantage of terrain, equipment, and intelligence, they would have long since been wiped out.
At this time, another commander charged into the command center and exclaimed excitedly, "Brigade Commander!! Brigade Commander!! Leader is here!! Leader has arrived with reinforcements!! He had already crushed the main zombie force and is here to help us!!"
"Awesome!! Long live Leader!!"
"Fuck yeah!!! Leader!!!!"
The command center immediately erupted in cheers, at their most dire of situations, Yue Zhong had personally led troops to come help them, pushing their morale through the roof.
Lie Ming Yi was excited but he couldn't help asking, "What? Leader had already crushed the main zombie force? How is that possible? There are over 10 million zombies there?!"
The rest of the people calmed down and looked towards the officer curiously. Just fighting 2 million zombies was already stretching them thin, which soldiers dying every second. They had found it extremely tough against this horde that had an intelligent commander behind them.
Yue Zhong had told Lie Ming Yi and the rest to hold on for 3 days, after which they had to evacuate. However, who knew that within a short period of time, they were already beginning to feel a tremendous pressure. Yet, Yue Zhong had somehow managed to destroy the main force, and they all couldn't help but feel curious.
The officer replied, "Leader had directly ordered a nuke on the commander of the horde, instantly wiping out the main controllers. The horde immediately came to a stop after that."
"Nuclear missile?!"
When the officials heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. They all knew the kind of damage and long-term effects of a nuclear weapon, Yue Zhong was actually forced to this extent, it seemed that it wasn't as simple as they had thought.
On the other hand, using a nuclear missile to defeat 10 million zombies, was a decent trade-off.
The 20 Thunder Fighters were dropping cluster bombs everywhere on Liu Yue Mei's instructions, annihilating the Z-Types.
After the horde lost their 200-odd Z-Types, the main Z3 in control quickly tried to flee, only to be blasted to pieces by the rockets fired by the 20 Thunder Fighters.
The moment the Z3 was killed, the zombie horde instantly crumbled, with hundreds of thousands trying to flee under the instructions of those Z-Types that were still alive, while the vast majority stood still and did not move any further.
"Powerful!!"
Within the command center, everyone saw the huge mass of zombies coming to a halt, as though they were marionettes that had lost their strings, and their hearts were filled with shock.
"This is Yue Zhong. Lie Ming Yi, heed my commands, send a company to assist the 5th Brigade, and another company to assist the 4th Brigade. The remaining troops will clear this place."
Lie Ming Yi responded in a resounding voice, "Yes! Leader!!"
Since Yue Zhong had given his command, Lie Ming Yi just had to follow.
Within the Thunder Fighter, Yue Zhong spoke to Zhao Tian Gang, "To the 3rd Brigade!"
Zhao Tian Gang couldn't help but blurt, "Leader, it's getting late. You should head back to recover. Our ammunition also requires some refilling."
After 2 major battles, the 20 Thunder Fighters had spent much of their ammunition and fuel. They had to replenish before they could continue. Furthermore, Zhao Tian Gang knew Yue Zhong's condition was serious, requiring rest and recovery. He had never seen someone whose chest had been impaled and lived. He knew that while Yue Zhong was still not dead, he was definitely in pain, as evident from the amount of perspiration.
Bai Xiao Sheng frowned and replied, "That's true! Boss, the 3rd Brigade is full of the Mongolians and were our enemies not long ago. It's good for their strength to be worn down by the zombies. Whereas you're really too injured. You need rest."
The 3rd Brigade was formed from the Mongolian troops, their commander Hu-er Ran. Since the majority of them were Mongolians, even though Yue Zhong placed a few Han commanders in, the rest was still fiercely loyal to Hu-er Ran. Even though they were enemies once, Yue Zhong could not help but admire Hu-er Ran's charisma as a leader.
They had a strong independent streak and had the potential to revolt or rebel. Hence, Yue Zhong had always been guarded against them. Many troops also did not view the 3rd Brigade as their comrades.
Bai Xiao Sheng himself viewed them with contempt, even lower than the Tiger Wolf Army that was made up of ex-Scum Battalion members. After all, they were a risk.
Yue Zhong frowned, "Regardless of who they are, as long as they haven't rebelled, they're my troops and your comrades. As to our comrades, it doesn't matter what problems we have, we need to prioritize the missions and celebrate success together. Support one another. Only like that will our troops remain united, and truly become a single united army. This is a question of principle. Let the rest of the Thunder Fighters head back to refuel and refill. Zhao Tian Gang, take me to the 3rd Brigade's area. This is an order! Cough cough!"
Although he was guarded against them, he could not deny the many contributions they had done for him. Hu-er Ran had led the 3rd Brigade to recover many cities.
In order not to give Yue Zhong any excuse to take them down, Hu-er Ran had led the 3rd Brigade on multiple expeditions with all their might, killing zombies. While their equipment might not be on par with the 1st Regiment or 2nd Brigade, the numbers of zombies they killed were no lesser.
During this period of war, Yue Zhong would definitely do something to shoot himself in the foot.
After he spoke finish, he was struck by another coughing fit, throwing up blood, and the perspiration flowing down his face like rain.
Zhao Tian Gang did not dare disobey, and immediately maneuvered the Thunder Fighter in the direction as he replied, "Yes! Leader!"
The other 19 Thunder Fighters immediately returned, while Zhao Tian Gang brought Yue Zhong towards the 3rd Brigade.
Xu Yuan Gorge.
By now, the entire Xu Yuan Gorge had turned to a scene right out of hell, as gunshots rang out everywhere, corpses strewn all over the ground.
A number of rockets blasted the dense zombies, blasting hundreds of them into pieces, however, the endless sea continued to fill up the gaps.
There were many traps and constructions that had been overrun by the zombies, and the zombies were not only continuing their advance through the valley but up the 2 sides as well.
Ordinary zombies would not climb up the hills, however, the Devourers and Hunters could scale those hills with ease as they lunged for the soldiers.
Hu-er Ran had led his troops against countless skirmishes against zombies before, against the Devourers and Hunters, they were somewhat prepared.
The Devourers and Hunters had not climbed far, when the areas they were at suddenly exploded with a powerful force, blasting them into pieces.
Throughout the 2 hills on either side of the valley, Hu-er Ran had long since planted a huge number of landmines as well as remote-controlled explosives. The moment the evolved zombies tried to attack, he would cause those traps to go off.
Even then, in spite of all his preparations, a number of evolved zombies managed to make it past the hills and started their attacks on the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade.
Every single one of those zombies was extremely strong and they easily slaughtered a number of the ordinary soldiers of the 3rd Brigade before the experts stepped in to counterattack.
Hua Bu La Ci was extremely anxious as he urged, "Great Khan!! We can't go on like this!! If we continue, we're going to be wiped out! Let's flee!!"
The 2 million zombies were just like a sea, and even after all of Hu-er Ran's preparations, many soldiers were lost to the relentless zombies.
After battling an entire day, the 3rd Brigade had lost 500 people, purely from battle. The scary thing about fighting zombies was that as long as a person was scratched, there was no chance of survival.
Yue Zhong had managed to live after being slashed by Feng Bo because he had already used the G-Vaccine, and he had already developed an antibody towards the zombie virus, and he could no longer turn into one.
Hu-er Ran's gaze was complicated as he surveyed the front lines, before he spoke, "No! We have to hold out! Three days! Regardless of the price, we have to defend for 3 days. This concerns the survival of all our people of the Central Plains. We can only win! Even if I were to die, we must definitely not retreat!"
Hu-er Ran was once the leader of the Central Plains after all, and he could see the big picture. He knew clearly that once they lost this battle, the ordinary survivors of the Central Plains would not stand a chance. For the sake of the big picture and the people, he was willing to sacrifice himself.
Hua Bu Lai Ci screamed out, "Great Khan!! It's not worth it!! Yue Zhong has never viewed us as one of his, our weapons and equipment can't compare to the 1st Regiment nor the 2nd Brigade, even the 4th and 5th Brigade have better equipment than us! It's not worth sacrificing ourselves for him!! He will make use of the zombies to wear us down, and not save us at all!!"

Chapter 702: The Might of the Sky Fortress!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Hearing Hua Bu La Ci's words, the rest of the commanders of the 3rd Battalion began to waver. They knew that Yue Zhong was indeed cautious about them. If it wasn't for the fact that the number of zombies they were about to face reached 2 million, he would not have equipped them so generously. They were also worried that Yue Zhong might abandon them, allowing the zombies to wear them down, before taking the opportunity to wipe them out.
This was the tragedy of their troops. They had to worry about equipment, the differences in treatment, and even the possibility of abandonment. The worst was being treated as cannon fodder.
Hu-er Ran maintained his position, ordering coolly, "No retreat!"
Just as Hua Bu La Ci was about to try and persuade him again, an officer charged in excitedly, "Leader is here! He's here to help!!"
"Thank the heavens!!"
"The Leader is here? He truly didn't abandon us!! Long live!!!"
When they heard this, the command center immediately erupted in cheers, once Yue Zhong came himself, it meant that he would not give up on them.
The commander continued, "There's news from Leader's side earlier, they had already defeated the main driving force of the zombies, and had helped the 2nd Brigade defeat the 2nd area."
"For real?"
"Unbelievable!!"
"How is that impossible?"
"It can't be?"
Hearing those words, all the commanders broke out in a discussion, their faces filled with disbelief. They could all swear as to the terror of the zombies, having faced them up close on the front lines. The 2 million zombies were enough to fill them with despair, and they weren't even confident holding out for 3 days.
Yue Zhong had to deal with 10 times the number, and yet he had managed to defeat them?
Hu-er Ran's eyes were filled with suspicion, as he asked, "Did Leader say how he defeated them?"
Although he could not believe that Yue Zhong had defeated the zombies so easily, he knew Yue Zhong would not treat it like a joke.
The officer replied, "Nuclear missile! Leader had fired a missile at the commanding zombies, and immediately defeated them in one fell swoop!!"
"Nuclear bomb!!"
When they heard this, all the officers felt their hearts turn cold. It was a terrifying man-made weapon. All along, they had been using military tactics and strategies, and never would have expected Yue Zhong to actually fire a nuclear missile on China itself.
Hua Bu La Ci turned pale, not daring to say anything else. Yue Zhong had actually used this, he was obviously pushed to a corner. Had he utilized it against them, the 3rd Brigade would not have survived.
Hu-er Ran felt a chill, "Nuclear bomb! What a ruthless decision!"
The effects of a nuclear weapon on its environment were extremely devastating. Hu-er- Ran knew that if he was in Yue Zhong's shoes, he could not have made such a decision easily.
Once a nuclear weapon was used, the area of damage would be a wasteland for at least a 100 years, furthermore, it was uncertain the kind of mutations that would occur around.
"Leader is here!! Quick go welcome him!"
Not long after, Yue Zhong arrived in front of the command center in the Thunder Fighter.
"Salutations to Leader!"
The moment he alighted, the commanders of the 3rd Brigade immediately came forward to greet him.
Hu-er Ran took one look at Yue Zhong and exclaimed, "Leader! You're injured?"
By now, even though Yue Zhong had switched to a new set of uniform, every single step he took caused him to grimace, with perspiration flowing down his forehead while Bai Xiao Sheng supported him.
Hu-er Ran knew that Yue Zhong was the strongest among them, and even against the Apostles of the KoG, he still had means to deal with them. Yet now, he was obviously injured badly.
Bai Xiao Sheng coldly, ordered, "Leader was gravely injured when he fought the commanders of the main zombie horde, however, he insisted on coming here to support your troops. Hu-er Ran, Leader has already given the order for you guys to maintain your stance here for a day. Can your 3rd Brigade achieve it?"
"Yue Zhong is heavily injured!" When Hu-er Ran heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He became agitated, after all, he was a warlord as well, and from time to time, he would still think of rebuilding the Great Mongolian Empire. Up till now, he had carried out his duties for Yue Zhong because he was forced to. Since Yue Zhong was injured now, it was a great opportunity for him. If he could off him, Yue Zhong's faction would be split apart, and he had the chance to rebuild Mongolia.
When he thought of the possibility of rebuilding Mongolia, Hu-er Ran's mouth turned dry and his heartbeat quickened. Although he was the commander of the 3rd Brigade, due to the caution and wariness that everyone showed them, he didn't feel as though he could live freely, unlike when he was the king.
Hu-er Ran's eyes flashed with a vicious glint, as he looked towards Yue Zhong, only to discover Yue Zhong smiling, yet not smiling, at him. His gaze landed on the people beside Yue ZHong, and the ambition that was rising in his heart was immediately doused.
Beside Yue Zhong stood Ji Qing Wu and Yin Shuang.
Hu-er Ran had seen for himself how Yin Shuang could pummel an Apostle, if she was to go crazy here, the entire 3rd Brigade might not be able to withstand a single blow from her. He had no confidence in facing her headlong as well.
Hu-er Ran immediately abandoned whatever thoughts he had, as he gathered his subordinates and saluted Yue Zhong, replying respectfully, "Yes, we promise to fulfill our mission!!
Yue Zhong looked at him and thought to himself, "He's still ambitious as ever, and is smart enough."
Had Hu-er Ran dared to act against Yue Zhong, then Yue Zhong would have the excuse to wipe out Hu-er Ran and his men, removing the 3rd Brigade in the name of martial law. However, Hu-er Ran had not taken the bait, and thus, Yue Zhong did not have a reason to go crazy either.
Of course, with Yue Zhong's current strength, he could still force a cleanse on the 3rd Brigade. However, it might cause the rest of the people who had submitted to him to feel apprehensive, and the trust in him would be affected greatly. Once that happens, his faction would start to slowly erode, after all, who would be willing to follow a leader who went back on his words? His promises would not be worth anything then.
The moment he went to the front lines, the morale of the 3rd Brigade instantly soared, and their combat prowess increased by 30%, eradicating a few waves of zombies with ease.
Since he had come down personally, it meant that he would not abandon the 3rd Brigade, therefore, the soldiers were much more willing to give it their all.
Soon after, night fell.
When it was evening, flares were shot into the skies, illuminating the entire Xu Yuan Gorge.
Under the command of the Z-Types, the zombies continued their relentless assault on the Xu Yuan Gorgel
The combat effectiveness of humans would be affected in the night. Furthermore, they had already fought an entire day. Everyone was exhausted, and the casualty count was increasing.
Hu-er Ran could only deploy the supplementary group to assist the soldiers at the front lines, while they slowly gave up on point after point.
Hu-er Ran prepared many barrels of oil at each defense point, each time the zombies overrun a place, he would set fire to the place, burning the zombies.
It was just that there were simply too many of them, and the 3rd Brigade was truly lacking in weapons. Their heavy weapons could not compare with the other 4 Brigades, and under the wave-like attack of the zombies, they could only abandon posts after posts.
"The 3rd squad is wiped out!"
"1st Platoon has lost 5 men!"
"2nd Platoon requests aid!!"
"3rd Platoon requests artillery fire!!"
Following the flow of battle, the number of calls for help began to pour in, and Hu-er Ran's face turned paler by the second.
After hesitation, Hu-er Ran walked up to Yue Zhong and exclaimed bitterly, "Leader!! I'm afraid our 3rd Brigade might let you down!! The zombie horde is too strong, and we might not be able to last past tonight!! Leader, please be prepared!"
The zombie horde was like a sea of waves, relentless and without rest. If it had been humans, after losing a certain number, the rest would quickly fall back. However, the horde knew no fear and would continue to charge forth. Although many of them were blasted apart, they did not possess psychological issues, nor the stamina of humans, as compared to humans who were at the mercy of both.
In a war between humans, both sides would need to defend while allowing for rest, hence a battle could drag for days. However, against the zombies, it was possible to determine the victor in a day, it was either the zombies being wiped out or humans being overwhelmed.
After the apocalypse, even battles had changed and morphed.
Yue Zhong replied solemnly, "Hang on! Our reinforcements are coming!"
Hu-er Ran was shocked, "Reinforcements?"
"What in the world is that…?"
"UFO?"
"No! Is that the seat of God?"
Right at that moment, a flurry of discussion began to break out among the soldiers.
In the sky, the huge Sky Fortress floated across, swiftly approaching Xu Yuan Gorge. When the soldiers saw the Sky Fortress, they were shocked, it was the first time coming across this thing. It seemed like something out of a sci-fi movie from before the apocalypse.
Suddenly, a number of holes opened at the side of the Fortress, as many machine guns, laser guns and laser cannons appeared.
At the next instant, the Sky Fortress began to rain hell upon the zombies in a shower of bullets and laser beams, blasting a wide area.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
As though going through a baptism, the entire horde was blasted mercilessly.
Hu-er Ran looked at the mighty Sky Fortress up in the sky and his heart trembled, "What a terrifying weapon of war! Is this the reinforcements he was referring to? That's too overpowered!!"
Just that single Sky Fortress was enough to devastate the entire 3rd Brigade, and having witnessed the prowess of the Sky Fortress, Hu-er Ran buried his ambitions deep in his heart.
