God and Devil World

　　

Shangguan Qing Cheng took a look at the information displayed on the screens, and sighed in his heart, ”Truly, a big organization is different.”

It was because of their edge in technology and equipment that the Central Army was able to grasp the situation around them, crushing all obstacles and conquering numerous counties.

His gaze then retracted from the monitors, landing on a young man in military uniform, whose arms were around a young woman in white dress.

Bai Xiao Sheng then introduced him, ”This is our leader Yue Zhong.”

Shangguan Qing Cheng came up to greet him, ”How do you do, Leader Yue Zhong, I’m Shangguan Qing Cheng. It’s an honor.”

Yue Zhong replied, ”How do you do, take a seat.”

”Yes!”

Shangguan Qing Cheng then sat opposite Yue Zhong, his gaze falling upon the pretty young woman, his heart shocked, ”What a beautiful woman, she’s like those photoshopped models! How could there be such a beauty on this world? This fellow truly has the fortune.”

The young woman in Yue Zhong’s arms was precisely Yin Shuang. Her features were extraordinary, and as she matured, she was even more stunning. Ever since Yue Zhong came back, this little demoness was unwilling to leave his side for more than a second.

Yue Zhong asked him in a relaxed manner, ”I heard you know the location of a strange treasure, is that true?”

After gaining control over the millions of zombies under Hu Man, Yue Zhong had sent the forces towards Hebei, in an overwhelming display of force. Any zombie horde they came across was gathered under the control of Jiang Sheng and Gui Can. They were then used as training materials for the soldiers under Yue Zhong.

Currently, Yue Zhong’s forces were continually gaining strength with the help of the system equipment, and the constant replenishment of zombies.

In these few days, of the elite soldiers in the Central Army, even the most ordinary soldier was at least Level 50. Compared to everywhere else, they could be considered peak experts.

Equipped with laser guns, these 40,000-strong Central Army could even kill a Type 5 evolver under the right circumstances and tactics. Be it individual prowess or joint efforts, the Central Army was truly a formidable force.

With the combined forces of the Central Army and the zombie horde, Hebei was swiftly conquered by Yue Zhong. More than a 100 small factions like Shangguan Qing Cheng’s also submitted to him, thus, his power and population grew once more.

There was a complicated look in Shangguan Qing Cheng’s eyes, ”That’s right, Leader. I’ve discovered a lake in the Qingxia Forest. Every night, there would be a bright radiance glowing from the lake. It would attract countless Mutant Beasts over, and they would try to swallow the rays of light emitted by the lake. I’m guessing that there’s a strange treasure inside.”

Yue Zhong revealed a serious expression, ”Oh! What is the strongest Mutant Beast that has been to the lake?”

After the world changed, there were many strange things in this world. On this earth, there might even be a new treasure that formed. However, as Shangguan Qing Cheng was only a Type 4 expert, he did not dare approach to investigate. Obviously, the Mutant Beasts there were not to be underestimated.

Shangguan Qing Cheng replied solemnly, ”There are many Mutant Beasts guarding there. One time, I saw 5 Type 5 Mutant Beasts consuming the moonbeams reflecting from the lake. Fortunately, I managed to flee in time, and only observed them from afar. Otherwise, I would have been dead. The Type 5 Mutant Beasts are not large ones though. Their physiques are almost the same as us humans. However, they are slightly bigger, about 2m-tall, and have beast-like features. They’re truly terrifying.”

Yue Zhong frowned when he heard that, ”Humanoid Type 5 Mutant Beasts? Seems like it’s going to be an issue.”

In terms of crushing enemies, leveling the battlefield, and intimidating the enemy, Mount Tai was perfect for the job. However, it had a huge shortcoming, that was its speed, which was slow, and its intelligence was on the lower side as well.

Whereas humanoid Type 5 Mutant Beasts might not have the strength of such behemoths, their growth was more balanced and all-rounded, surpassing even most ordinary Type 5 experts. Even the Dino-Warriors might not necessarily be a match for a humanoid Type 5 Mutant Beast.

Yue Zhong thought silently, ”Jiang Sheng and Gui Can had been sent out to conquer the rest of Hebei, while Poliyaeva has to remain here to exert fear on the horde. Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest are not a match for a Type 5 Mutant Beast as well. Seems like there’s only me.”

It was a critical juncture of reclaiming Hebei. Under the lead of Jiang Sheng and Gui Can, the Central Army was quickly recovering many cities. Yue Zhong did not want to deploy them to take care of those Mutant Beasts.

Against the other zombie hordes, Jiang Sheng and Gui Can was even more important than Yue Zhong himself.

Within Qingxia Forest, there were many trees over a few hundred meters tall. Growing densely together, they provided lush cover and allowed many Mutant Plants to thrive. There were some even capable of swallowing humans whole due to their large sizes.

Inside this forest, there were many behemoth-Mutant Beasts, thus, many human experts would carry out hunting expeditions here, in order to increase their strength.

”It’s that lake!”

On a huge tree, Shangguan Qing Cheng pointed to a vast water body, with pristine clear water that had a light jade-like tinge to it, and told Yue Zhong.

Right now, on the tree, there was only Yue Zhong and Shangguan Qing Cheng. Yue Zhong had been reluctant to bring too many to this Qingxia Forest. This was because that unless one was a decent expert, against Type 5 Mutant Beasts, they would only be sacrificing their lives needlessly.

Yue Zhong observed the lake, noting many types of Mutant Beasts lurking all around.

Many were quietly laying on the ground, idling away, not engaging in any fights or slaughter among each other.

Yue Zhong had done his research towards Mutant Beasts and knew that they would fight and consume one another for the sake of evolution and survival.

Only when there was a King or Overlord of a particular species, or under the pressure of a tyrannical high-level Mutant Beast, would there be a gathering of Mutant Beasts.

Even during fights of different species, some were unable to suppress their own bestial instincts, acting out against other foreign races. Therefore, such a scene where beasts of different types were laying around without attacking one another was strange.

Yue Zhong observed carefully before asking, ”Where’s the light?”

Shangguan Qing Cheng replied, ”It’s only during the night.”

”Guess we’ll have to wait.”

Night fell.

Following the darkening of the skies, many more Mutant Beasts began to walk out from various parts of the forest.

There were Mutant Giant Cockroaches, Mutant Apes, Mutant Two-headed Dogs, Mutant Leopard Cats, and other ferocious Mutant Beasts rushing over.

”Ah! What’s that?”

All of a sudden, there was a shrill roar. Yue Zhong turned towards the direction of the commotion, only to see a white-scaled Type 5 White-Scaled Panther darting through the forests like a phantom, pouncing on the various Mutant Leopard Cats, tearing through their throats, and devouring them.

The Type 5 White-Scaled Panther was extremely fast, as the other Mutant Beasts appeared before they could react, their throats were already torn through. Blood splattered everywhere, as the beasts died pitifully.

At another corner, there were a 2m-tall Type 5 Ape-man covered in a layer of black scales, looking 50% similar to humans. It was throwing multiple punches at the various Mutant Beasts that arrived.

Although this Type 5 Mutant Ape-man was only 2m-tall, it had a terrifying strength. Each punch was enough to cause a Type 3 Mutant Beast to explode.

Over at another side, there was a 1.56m-tall lithe figure with a cat-head. Her body was voluptuous, covered in a layer of green scales, while her claws were 80cm long. This Type 5 Mutant Green Cat was flashing about the forest.

One by one, the Mutant Beasts that got close had holes appearing in their heads, their nuclei dug out, as their lifeless bodies crumpled to the floor, with them none the wiser at the point of death.

Finally, there was another Type 5 Black Lizard, covered in a layer of black scales, and looking humanoid. It continued to strike out with its tongue, penetrating the heads of the incoming Mutant Beasts as easily as cannon shots. It would coil its tongue around their nuclei and brain juices, gobbling them up.

The 4 Mutant Beasts continued in their areas, reaping the lives of the various Mutant Beasts.

The Mutant Beasts inside Qingxia Forest continued to fight to reach the lake.

A few Mutant Beasts managed to get past the 4 tyrannical Type 5 Mutant Beasts, reaching within 500m of the lake. The 4 Type 5 Mutant Beasts then stopped their rampage and went back to their respective locations.

The 4 Type 5 Mutant Beasts had swallowed over 300 nuclei by the time they stopped their slaughter.

Those who had not dared to get close due to the rampage of the 4 Type 5 Mutant Beasts started to inch closer and consume the flesh and blood of the fallen beasts.
