Chapter 934: Where the Troops Are Headed

"I can't hear their voices, but Qin Zhong seems to have reconciled with Minister Li in the end. However, where did these strange giant vines come from? They possess such powerful killing power that even the black-haired man found it difficult to eliminate them in a short time."

After a long period of silence in the room, Xiao Yibai's voice was heard again. However, from his slightly trembling tone, it could be heard that Li Lian's death was indeed difficult for him to fully accept for a while.

"I suspect these giant vines were all created by Qin Zhong..."

Feng Yuan, who was present, hesitated for a moment after hearing Li Lian's words. He then spoke, "As far as I know, Qin Zhong's subordinate, Hu Meng, seems to have discovered this ancient vine. Furthermore, the people sent by the United Front Work Department before seemed to have died at the hands of this giant vine. However, those ancient vines back then didn't seem nearly as thick as this one, nor were their attack and recovery abilities as strong."

"It's normal for such a talent to have some adventures..."

After hearing Feng Yuan's analysis, Xiao Yibai nodded slightly. After a moment's thought, he turned to look at Shui Zhi who was sitting beside him. "Shui Zhi, you are a master of lip reading. Please help me translate what this black-haired man is saying."

"Yes!"

After hearing what Xiao Yibai said, Shui Zhi did not dare to slack off and immediately translated everything that the black-haired arrogant man said.

"It's actually the arrogance of Demon Mountain?"

After listening to Leech's translation, Xiao Yibai's face darkened slightly. He didn't expect that after his men destroyed a Demon Mountain arsenal, Demon Mountain actually attacked his headquarters base.

What's worse is that he also killed his sworn brother's relatives and descendants. How can he explain to his sworn brother when he is dead?

Amidst new and old grudges, Xiao Yibai took a deep breath, looked at Elder Shen and Elder Yan, and said in a serious tone, "Elder Shen, Elder Yan, what do you two think? Bureau 749 must take action to eliminate the leader of the seven demon kings and recapture the headquarters base."

Elder Shen and Elder Yan exchanged a glance, each seeing a glint of determination in the other's eyes. After a moment, Elder Shen nodded and said, "Demon Mountain is a lackey of the X-planet people. Currently, the X-planet people are unable to operate on Blue Star, so Demon Mountain has become their full representative. Since the X-planet people's goal is to eliminate the Blue Star people, the hatred between us is irreconcilable. We will also send troops together!"

"well said!"

Xiao Yibai clapped his hands, turned to look at everyone in the tent, and ordered in a cold voice: "In that case, everyone listen up, start assembling the troops and marching out tomorrow morning. I want to let that arrogant person know that the power of humans is far more terrifying than he imagined!"

"Yes!" Hearing Xiao Yibai's words, everyone present couldn't help but cheer up and nodded in agreement.

But they also understood that as the leader of the seven demon kings, he must possess extremely terrifying power to dare to launch a surprise attack on the Kyoto government headquarters base and stay there.

At that time, the power of the Kyoto government will collide with the power of Devil Mountain, and who will survive and who will die will only be revealed at that time.

The next day, the sun rose and the morning light was just beginning to appear.

After a simple breakfast, large numbers of survivors walked out of the base that was originally the headquarters of the Kyoto government and came to the outskirts, where they began to repair the damaged walls and mountains of the base.

These survivors were captured from nearby cities and counties due to arrogance and greed.

However, to his surprise, the survivors who were forcibly brought to the base not only did not complain while working hard, but often had expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

Actually, this is not surprising. Although the labor tasks assigned to them by greed are heavy, they at least ensure their food, clothing, and personal safety.

Such a slave-like life is much better than struggling in the apocalypse, where one may be devoured by zombies and turned into food and nutrients at any time.

At least, these survivors no longer have to worry about starving to death or dying of thirst, and they can finally sleep peacefully at night without worrying about being suddenly found by zombies and torn to pieces in their sleep.

……

"Lao Zhang, how's the repair going over there?"

Among the survivors, a sturdy middle-aged man struggled to place a huge stone on the broken part of the wall. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked another big man who was as strong as him.

"Hehe, I should be about the same as you. I'll almost finish the task in another hour. The tasks after that can be considered as extra meals."

Dusting off the dust on his hands, the burly man known as Lao Zhang beamed with joy and said with a hearty laugh, "Lao Qian, I'll be able to have a meal of meat after I finish today's work. Don't be envious then."

"Fuck, I've completed as many tasks as you have. If you can eat, why can't I eat today?"

Hearing Lao Zhang's boastful words, Lao Qian grinned and said with a smile, "Lord Greed has been really kind to us. Not only did he rescue us from the zombie siege, but he also gave us work to do and food to eat. For those of us who are in better health, we can even eat mutant beast meat every two or three days. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, compared to the past, this life is like living in heaven..."

"Yes, it's a fairy-tale day..."

Old Li nodded, but soon, with a puzzled look on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "However, I seem to have heard that Lord Greed and Lord Pride are both lackeys of aliens. If we work for them, would that be considered betrayal of humanity..."

"I'm not betraying humanity. I only know that I'll work for whoever feeds me, clothes me, and keeps me safe."

Hearing Lao Li's words, Lao Qian said with disdain: "Let me tell you, only those who are alive are considered traitors. If you are dead, you are nothing. I don't want to become food for zombies, or even become a zombie..."

"Yeah...I..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Lao Li was about to say something else, bursts of engine roars came from afar.

Afterwards, under the astonished gazes of many survivors, hundreds of armed vehicles of various types drove out from the distant avenue, and their spearhead was clearly heading towards the base.

Looking at these, one could tell at a glance that they were all large trucks carrying military supplies. Many survivors were stunned for a moment, and then cried out in surprise.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Hearing the survivors' screams, dozens of black shadows suddenly rushed out from all corners of the base and rushed to the gate of the base at a rapid speed.

These people are all evolvers who were recaptured by Greed from nearby areas. They are not the direct descendants of Demon Mountain, and they are also the highest-end combat forces in the base besides Pride and Greed.

"Brother Ya, something seems amiss here."

Looking at the large convoy appearing in the distance, a young man with green hair whispered to a burly man with a ferocious face beside him, "Those coming here look like military personnel. Could they be here to deal with those two adults?"

“I guess that’s right!”

The man called Fang frowned, took a megaphone from his men, and shouted, "Listen up, people in front, please stop moving forward immediately. This is the base of Devil Mountain. If you move forward, we will regard you as the enemy."

"What a big tone! You occupied our base and yet you still dare to be so rampant. You are really courting death!" After hearing Brother Ya's shout, a loud roar suddenly came from the rolling convoy.

The voice was very powerful, without the distortion that comes from a loudspeaker. Therefore, even though they were standing so far away, Ya Ge and the others could clearly feel the murderous intent and anger contained in the voice.
