Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Taess swept a disgusted look at that Type 5 Cat-woman, ordering coldly, "Convey my command, no one is to chase. Our priority is to establish a secure base right now."
The Cat-woman responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
As one of the Princes of the Beastmen Kingdom, he was unlike Taylor in seeking merit, instead, choosing to lay foundations.
With his orders, countless Beastmen started to claim territories once more, as well as simple fortifications and structures.
Meanwhile, more Beastmen warriors were pouring out of the Gate of Hell.
In time, the whole of France began to come under Taess due to his slow but steady efforts.
With his expansion efforts, although it prevented King Limo from acting against the Beastmen warriors, it gave him time to gather and regroup all the zombies within France.
Both sides continued to engage in small skirmishes here and there while trying to expand their own forces.
.
Like this, the Beastmen Kingdom had somehow established their own base on Earth.
As for Yue Zhong, he was currently transporting the Berlin's survivors towards China.
Within Sichuan, in a secluded mountain gorge, a Gate of Hell stood on some flat ground, surrounded by mucus.
A Type 3 Mutant Leopard came prowling over, eyeing the mucus curiously as it edged closer.
Just as it was near the blanket of mucus, suddenly, an oval-shaped object shot out a meat hook, piercing the Type 3 Mutant Leopard and tugged it forcefully into the mucus.
The unfortunate beast struggled within the mucus for a few seconds, before all movements ceased.
Soon after, another oval-shaped pod broke open, as a human-shaped alien emerged from within, possessing a pair of sharp claws, tail and a savage visage. A number of strange alien spawn crawled all around it, before burrowing into its chest.
The human-shaped alien eyed its surroundings warily before it dashed off into the distance.
The alien was a species that could extinguish all life of any planet, and they had come to Earth through the Gate of Hell.
Of the 300 Gates of Hell littered all over Earth, every world could make use of the Gates to enter. Protecting just one door could only prevent access from that particular door.
Yue Zhong knew this, but with his current strength, he could at most stand guard over a few places. As for the rest, even if he knew about them, there was nothing he could do. The more he spread out his forces, the more risk he was putting them through.
He had obtained many different technologies through the different worlds, and they were being researched and produced, but to equip his forces on a mass scale, he needed more time.
Within a secret room inside China's capital, Yue Zhong opened his eyes slowly, his gaze sharp and radiant.
He was filled with joy as he thought, "I've finally achieved Level 5 of the Yin-Yang palm. This martial technique is truly profound. It took me an entire month to reach this stage. Now, I've gained an additional card. It might not have much use in war, but against any Type 8 experts, I have a chance now."
Since he obtained the Second Order God-Devil Body, his talent and potential were heaven-defying. He possessed superhuman memory and could recognize any language of any country. With just a single hour, he could speak more fluently than a native speaker.
With such potential, it had been a breeze to learn the first 4 Levels of the Yin-Yang Palm, but it actually took an entire month for him to reach the 5th Level.
As he walked out of the room, Chen Yao came up to him urgently, "Yue Zhong, the base in Sichuan had just sent a request for help. They're being surrounded by zombies, and have requested aid. They're willing to join us after."
Yue Zhong frowned, and replied, "Sichuan? Fine, I'll make a trip myself."
Currently, China was undergoing some huge changes, pumping resources and efforts into a huge survivor base. At the same time, Ji Qing Wu and the other generals were leading their subordinates to clear the zombies all around China.
With Ji Qing Wu, Bai Xiao Sheng, Zheng Ming He, Zhuo Ya Tong, Chen Sheng Gang, Li Guang, Chen Yao, Hu-er Ran and the rest handling the zombies, as well as the structural works being handled by the numerous subordinates, Yue Zhong only had to concern himself with the big picture. Since he had been holed up in the Capital in closed-door cultivation, he was truly getting restless.
As for the forces and troops, they were focused on defending, and not deployed lightly. Only Yue Zhong had the authority to. In any case, he alone could wipe out a million zombies with no problems.
Chen Yao chuckled, "Are you bringing Yin Shuang?"
Yin Shuang stuck to Yue Zhong like glue, this was a fact everyone knew.
Yue Zhong shook his head, "No! She is too important, she has to stay here to guard the capital. It'll be better that way."
She had already reached the Type 7 realm and was the only other expert of China comparable to Yue Zhong. With her holding the fort, she could at least deal with any short-term dangers that cropped up.
Having made the decision, Yue Zhong boarded one of the Protector Battleship and brought along the Storm Battleship as he headed towards Sichuan.
Outside the city of Sichuan, there was another city that had been built not too long ago, surrounded by massive wooden walls.
At a valley connecting to the city, hundreds of soldiers were currently taking out a number of Evolved zombies.
Sichuan was mountainous and had many valleys. The new city had been constructed right behind one of such a valley, allowing only 2 cars' width of an entrance.
Relying on the natural terrain advantage, the hundreds of soldiers were able to defend against the numerous zombies.
At the peak of the small hill, some commanders were looking out at the distance.
One of them complained, "Commander, the brothers do not understand why you must contact that Yue Zhong. He's obviously a tyrant that had been lucky enough to conquer the capital. And that damn faction actually established what bullshit government!! We're able to sustain ourselves, and live by our own rules, why must we request for his aid?"
When that squad captain spoke, many of the other officers nodded in agreement.
Yue Zhong had been an ordinary man before the apocalypse. After he established the new government, the old guards in Sichuan were not receptive. Some had joined him, while others viewed him as a rebel and traitor, while some sat on the fence, without any indication of their opinions.
As for this particular base, the military was the law. They held the authority over the survivors, and such a feeling had already started to corrode some of their hearts.
The leader, a man with good-looking features and a muscular physique, spoke slowly, "Wang Da Pao, we are all military men. The military exists to protect the country. Since Yue Zhong has the capability to protect our country, we should submit to him, and work for him. We need to protect our people, this is what we should do."
This commander was called Yue Hai Min, a regiment commander prior to the apocalypse. When the world changed, he had led his surviving subordinates to take out the nearby zombies, regrouping with other troops, as they rescued a large number of survivors from Sichuan, and settled within this mountain gorge. With the help of the terrain, they had defended themselves over this entire period.
Wang Da Pao had a reluctant gleam in his gaze, but he still voiced his respect, "Yes! Commander!"
Yue Hai Min had plenty of support within the troop, although Wang Da Pao had his supporters too, it was not enough to go against him.
Yue Hai Min looked at the seemingly endless horde and had a look of worry, "Furthermore, the zombies are evolving stronger, our ammunition is running out as well."
The evolution of the zombies was terrifying, producing even more variants as well. If it was not for the terrain, this base would have long since been wiped out.
Wang Da Pao seemed like he did not think so, "While those zombies are evolving, our brothers have become stronger too! Look, they aren't a match for our brothers."
At the entrance of the valley, over 20 soldiers were using System equipment to slaughter the evolved zombies.
Behind those soldiers, there were over a hundred others waiting to switch out.
With the help of the terrain as well as numerous Enhancers, Wang Da Pao felt that their base was practically heaven, there was no need for anyone to help them.
"Old Wang, that day, that beauty, you fucked her, right? How was it?"
"Get lost!"
"Haha!!"
"..."
At the entrance, the soldiers awaiting their turns were laughing and chatting, unafraid of the zombies.
In the midst of their conversation, one small alien spawn managed to slither towards one of the soldiers at a corner, before pouncing on his face and burrowing into his brain through his nostril.
"Ah!!"
At the moment the alien spawn landed on his face, the soldier let out a shriek of terror.
The hundreds of soldiers turned to face him but did not discover anything.
One of them complained, "Big-nose Liu, what the hell did you scream for? Trying to scare us to death?!"
Big-nose Liu wanted to say something when suddenly, his mind turned blank, and he chuckled, "I don't remember."
