Chapter 975: Shangguan Qing Cheng!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Shangguan Qing Cheng looked at the approaching horde, their numbers dense and unending, and his face turned pale, "Finished, we're doomed this time. Am I finally going to die here?"
He could congeal air blades to decapitate L4s easily, however, his limit was about 20 per day.
If it were in the past, there would be at most a single L3 within a village, while a county with over a hundred thousand people would have a few L4s.
And yet, there were suddenly 10 L4s, 3 L5s as well as numerous other zombies. Their numbers and makeup far surpassed what the survivor base was capable of handling.
On the city wall, all the survivors had looks of despair. They were carrying melee weapons, against the evolved zombies, it was incredibly strenuous to fight. There was definitely only death that awaited them from the incoming horde.
All of a sudden, the zombies surrounding the county turned and joined the incoming horde.
Shangguan Qing Cheng's heart sank even further, "Shit, there's a Z-Type. Seems like its level is pretty high, it could even control over a million zombies!"
When Shangguan Qing Cheng was fighting his share of zombies, he had naturally come across the Z-Types. Against such hordes being controlled by the intelligent evolved zombies, he had to run a few times. After all, people like them with no backing were not a match for such numbers.
One young evolver by the name of Wei Qing, who had blonde hair, walked up to Shangguan Qing Cheng and muttered softly, "Boss, seems like things are bad. Let's make preparations for our escape."
A dark look came over Shangguan Qing Cheng's eyes as he responded lowly as well, "Go and prepare."
When faced with hordes of this magnitude, Shangguan Qing Cheng and his men had fled a few times. He had originally assumed that once he controlled a county, he would not have to flee anymore. However, when he came across such a number again, he found out how naive he was.
Right at this time, the zombie suddenly split apart, and a Jeep came out from within, coming to a stop in front of everybody.
3 warriors in military wear came out from the jeep, walking towards the county.
From the endless horde, 3 humans actually stepped out. Such a scene was enough to stun everyone present. They stared wide-eyed as the 3 walked towards the county.
Bai Xiao Sheng stood straight and hollered, "I'm Major General Bai Xiao Sheng from the China Central Army. Get your leader to come out."
After coming back to Earth, Yue Zhong had been fighting and consolidating his factions, establishing the new Chinese government, and all his armies were now grouped under the same moniker.
Shangguan Qing Cheng eyed Bai Xiao Sheng, and asked, "I'm the leader here, Shangguan Qing Cheng. China Central Army? I have not heard of you guys before. Are you guys from the capital? I remember that it was Yue Zhong's faction there."
After Yue Zhong had conquered the capital, he had made use of the broadcast stations to send out a message to all corners of the country.
Since then, many factions with radio capabilities knew that Yue Zhong had conquered the capital. However, they did not know that he had just established a new government.
Bai Xiao Sheng chuckled, "That's right. Our leader Yue Zhong had established a new government. Open your gates and join us, you will be one of us."
Shangguan Qing Cheng laughed lightly, "Are you asking us to submit?"
Bai Xiao Sheng's tone turned icy all of a sudden, "That's right! It is an order to submit. Can you see these zombies? They are all under Leader's control right now. Do you know what that means? If you want to resist, I will wipe you out on account of treason."
Intimidation, enticement and threats, Bai Xiao Sheng was well-versed in the usage of all of them.
After taking over the capital, the new government had started to clear the various zombies and reach out to the various factions around. They had come across various small-time leaders of their own factions. Each of them had grown giddy with their own authority, and it was difficult to get them to submit straight away.
With that, Bai Xiao Sheng waved his hands.
A soldier stepped out with a flute and blew on it.
As the notes blew from the flue, 20 L3s stepped out from the zombie horde and kneeled in front of Bai Xiao Sheng's party of 3, stretching out their heads.
Bai Xiao Sheng then took out an Electromagnetic Cannon and fired it at one of them.
With a flash of a bright beam, the L3's head was pierced, revealing a large gaping hole, as brain matter and blood flowed out.
Bai Xiao Sheng continued to demonstrate by killing the rest of the L3s, before turning his cold gaze towards the county wall.
"How is that possible?!"
"Those were L3s!! Their defenses are impenetrable! Even heavy machine guns can't do shit to them, when did it become so easy to kill them?"
"What weapon is he carrying? Isn't it too overpowered?"
"..."
On top of the county, when everyone saw this, their faces fell, and discussion began to broke out.
After the 20 L3s were killed, the flute sounded again, This time, 40 S4s walked out, getting down on the ground.
The 2 soldiers beside Bai Xiao Sheng pulled out sharp Level 3 system weapons, killing those 40 S4s, making use of the system weapons to absorb the life force of the S4s and became stronger.
Witnessing, Shangguan Qing Cheng had a huge change in expression, he knew that Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest were demonstrating what the Central Army was capable of.
Furthermore, the fact that they could command such evolved zombies meant that the Central Army could groom countless experts.
Seeing this, everybody on the county wall had nothing more to say. They knew that if they did not submit, there was only death.
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Qing Cheng asked, "If we submit, what kind of treatment will we be given?"
Bai Xiao Sheng replied, "How many people do you have?"
Shangguan Qing Cheng said, "Slightly over 8,000."
Bai Xiao Sheng quickly spoke, "After you submit, you will get to keep all private possessions. We can guarantee the safety of your people. Other than those who had committed unforgivable acts, we will not kill anyone. As the leader, if you were to join us, you will automatically be promoted to the rank of captain, and enjoy the relevant treatment. Other than, you can put forward the names of 3 others to enjoy the benefits of the lieutenant rank. 20 others can get to enjoy benefits of the 2nd-lieutenant rank. No bargaining."
Shangguan heaved a sigh of relief and made his decision, "Fine, I agree. I will join the new government."
Having been through so many years of moving from place to place, hoping against hope, such days had exhausted Shangguan Qing Cheng. Although he had his authority, controlling the lives and deaths of 8,000, when faced with a zombie horde, he could only flee. He was already sick of such a lifestyle. If he could choose, he would rather be a small-time leader of the days prior to the apocalypse, than an overlord of the current times.
When he announced their submission, the county immediately opened their gates to welcome Bai Xiao Sheng and his 2 subordinates.
Right after they entered the county, a vehicle fleet came driving out from the horde, entering the county as well.
From the vehicle fleet, a number of soldiers jumped out, armed to the teeth. They were exuding a terrifying aura, as they swiftly occupied the various important points in the county.
Shangguan Qing Cheng took a glance at the soldiers, and his eyes went wide, "They're all experts, what the hell?!"
These hundreds of soldiers were all at least at the peak of the Type 2 realm, at the same time, a number of them were already at the Type 3 realm.
If Shangguan Qing Cheng did not make a move, these hundred soldiers could easily wipe out his Tiger Panther Riders.
After deploying the troops to control the entire county, Bai Xiao Sheng then spoke to Shangguan Qing Cheng, "Come with me, we're going to meet the leader."
Shangguan Qing Cheng nodded, "Ok."
Sitting in a jeep, Shangguan Qing Cheng left the county.
As they traveled through the zombie horde, Shangguan Qing Cheng looked at the surrounding zombies and felt his scalp go numb. Of the various evolved zombies, he recognized a few and not the rest. However, there was one thing clear; no matter how strong he was, he would still die when faced with this horde.
As they went deeper into the horde, Shangguan Qing Cheng saw 2,000 soldiers wielding Tang Replica Swords and killing zombies.
The various high-level evolved zombies were presenting themselves and their heads, allowing the soldiers to kill them.
Those fresh corpses were then loaded onto a number of trucks.
They were good nourishment for Mutant Beasts as well as fertilizers for Mutant Plants. Furthermore, they were good research materials.
Yue Zhong had such ample food resources because he had obtained the Rice Tree, a Mutant Plant when he was in Guang Xi. With the zombie corpses as fertilizers, those Rice Trees had grown abundantly, allowing for his faction to cultivate a huge amount of rice.
Shangguan Qing Cheng watched the soldiers slaughtering the evolved zombies easily, and a hint of envy flashed past his eyes, "No wonder they could produce so many experts. With such a huge horde at their disposal, it's so easy to create powerful experts!"
Shangguan Qing Cheng had been through his fair share of life-and-death situations, killing high-level zombies and Mutant Beasts with great difficulty, evolving to where he was today. Noting the difference in their circumstances, he felt a little unsettled.
After passing through various guard posts, he finally came to a command center. The moment he entered, he saw numerous electronic displays, and on them, images of the entire region were being shown.
