Lonely Swordsman - C32
After the battle ended, Tian Yu sent his team members to rescue the wounded and take a short rest. His next step was naturally to explore this school. After all, he had to understand why there were so many zombies here.
This school was called Huangshan Road Elementary School. South of the school was Huangshan Avenue, which spanned 20 kilometers and ran across the east and west of Mianzhou. Huangshan Road Elementary School wasn’t too big, it only had a 4 story school building. In front of them was a small garden, and behind it was the playground that Tianyu and the others were currently in.
Tianyu handed the wounded over to the staff at the shopping mall, and prepared to let the team rest for a while before leading the squadron to explore the school. However, after a few minutes, Tianyu discovered that there was no longer a need, because more than a dozen people came out of the building, armed and dressed in uniform, but they were all battered and exhausted. The leader was a huge man, about 1.8 meters in size, with a full beard that covered his entire face.
Seeing the incoming person, Tianyu naturally took the lead to welcome him. The man saw Tianyu approaching and cupped his hands in greeting, “Little brother, we are from the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company, thank you for saving us. From now on, as long as little brother speaks, I, Old Tie, will not hesitate to help you!” This man had a loud voice and his words were like thunder. Perhaps even the staff in the shopping mall could hear him clearly.
“Big brother, please. I am Little Qingshan’s self-help camp’s Zhou Tianyu. May I know what your name is?” Tianyu cupped his hands together and said after the big man finished talking.
“Little bro is too polite, I’m called Iron Army Mountain, little bro can just call me Old Tie.”
“Fine, I’ll call you Brother Tie. Brother Tie, it looks like you’re not survivors trapped in this school. What’s going on?”
“Sigh, little brother, I, Old Tie, am really unlucky. Dozens of brothers are finished …”
It turned out that when Chen Jing’s Little Qingshan Self-Rescue Camp was fighting in the northwest corner of Mianzhou, the survivors in the southeast direction of Mianzhou City had already set up a relatively large gathering area in the east and south direction of the city. The area covered by 55% of the city area had a population of over a hundred thousand.
The gathering place was made up of three great powers, the strongest of which was dominated by a single military force. Keegan was a survivor of the Southwest Falcon Special Forces Brigade, the army that had served in Weidong. Therefore, after the catastrophe, the survivors of the Special Forces quickly organized themselves, starting from the east side of the city, to recover the urban areas and save the surviving humans. The leader was the deputy brigade commander of the original Special Forces, his name was Zhang Jianjun, and he currently occupied about 20% of the area south of the east side of the Mainland.
Before the catastrophe, the Yi’an Committee was the largest gang in Mianzhou. In recent years, there had been a trend of cleaning up, and the headquarters was the biggest entertainment city in Mianzhou, the “Yi’an Committee”. He was a powerful evolved person and had evolved into a powerful esper. Although he didn’t directly advance to the Second Order like the big zombie, he was not far from it, so he was promoted to the Second Order not long after the disaster. Although the territory was not big, about 5% of the city area of Mianzhou, due to his personal strength being extremely powerful, he had at least occupied the second position in the gathering area. No one dared to look down on him.
The final force was actually a consortium called the Thirteen Mercenaries Alliance. It was formed by thirteen different mercenary groups united together, and was known as the Thirteen Mercenaries Alliance. The leader was known as Shark, and the Battle Wolf Mercenary Group was one of them. It could be said that its position was on the verge of collapse. After all, in the eyes of the other two families, it was just like a piece of fat, but there was still a large amount of land without an owner left, so there was no room for them to take care of it for the time being.
Under these circumstances, the thirteen mercenary groups had no choice but to increase their strength in order to survive. The most effective way to increase their strength was to join forces, which was why the Thirteen Mercenaries had joined them. However, relying on others would never be reliable. Expanding oneself was the iron law. But how to expand? Of course, the safest thing was to continuously train and improve. Unfortunately, this was only an ideal, or even a dream. After all, training progress was slow and full of variables. So was there any other way? Of course there was. That was to increase the military strength! Of course, the first step in increasing the military strength was to increase the number of people under his rule, especially the number of evolved people.
As a result, the thirteen mercenary groups all sent small teams to collect the surviving soldiers in the masterless land. Iron Army Mountain’s team was one of the countless small teams.
Early this morning, Metal Army Mountain led a squad of close to a hundred people to search northwards along the right river road. The morning went rather smoothly, they rescued more than thirty people from a small district and sent ten people to escort them back to the camp.
At 10am, the Iron-Army Mountain squad opened a huge iron gate. Who knew that over a hundred zombies would suddenly rush out from inside, and the remaining 80 people of the old Iron-Mountain squad were no match for them. They had no choice but to run away. However, this was a bad thing. The huge commotion attracted countless zombies along the way. By the time they arrived at Huangshan Road Elementary School, there were already three to four hundred zombies and Old Tie’s squad only had sixteen people left. Fortunately, after they ran into the primary school and escaped into the school building, the zombies didn’t know how to climb, so they gathered around the school building until they were annihilated by Zhou Tianyu’s squadron.
For the first visitor to come to the camp, the standard of reception for the camp was extremely high. At noon the next day, Chen Jing personally attended, and the grand welcoming banquet held in Shuiyun Jiangnan Resort, which was attended by most of the high-ranking members of the camp.
The banquet was naturally very lively with people chatting and drinking merrily, while the straightforward Iron Army Mountain was eating meat in a big bowl. The banquet was naturally warm with people chatting and drinking merrily, while the forthright Iron Army Mountain was eating merrily, drinking in a big bowl of wine in a large amount of time.
On the morning of the third day, the first friendly diplomatic mission of Little Qingshan’s self-rescue camp was dispatched to the Thirteenth Mercenary Alliance together with Iron Army Mountain and the others. As for the selection of the envoys, it was just when Chen Jing was racking his brains. Zhang Xiang stood up and said, “Battalion Commander, what do you think about me going?”
“Of course you can, but how can you let go of that thing in your hands? Let’s find another person. ” Chen Jing glanced at Zhang Xiang and shook his head.
“But I have to go, Battalion Commander, I really have to!”
“Hmm? Tell me why? ”
“Battalion Commander, it’s like this. I’ve asked Iron Army Mountain, the Mianzhou Medical Academy is in the area under their control.”
“Really? That’s great, Battalion Commander. We will let Zhang Xiang go, he must go! ” Saying this, Wang Jun interrupted Zhang Xiang excitedly.
“Wang Jun, you two have confused me. What happened?” Chen Jing turned to Wang Jun.
“It’s like this, Battalion Commander. Zhang Xiang’s daughter, Zi Xin, is currently in her first year of university at the Mianzhou Medical School.” Wang Jun explained.
“So that’s how it is. Good, good, good. However, Zhang Xiang, I still have to remind you. It’s best to check with a calm heart. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.”
“Battalion Commander, I understand.”
“Alright, it’s settled then. Wang Jun, find a reliable person to temporarily take Zhang Xiang’s place. At the same time, take care of it yourself. Next, we’ll discuss the vice envoy.”
As for the candidate for the assistant envoy, due to their first contact with the envoy, they had to show the strength of their own rescue camp. Currently, Chen Jing was the strongest in the camp, followed by Ouyang Zhenlin, Huang Xiaogang, Wang Lei, and Yang Weidong who were training in seclusion. Of course, it was impossible for these five people to be deputy envoys. After them were Zhou Jian, Zhang Bin, Yang Dahai, Zhang Xinlin, Lu Min, and You Cai. The six of them had successfully mastered the entire set of the Six Passages of Divine Swords, and Zhou Jian, Zhang Bin, and Zhang Xinlin had even partly opened the Eight Meridians and Twelve Meridians.
One more person worth mentioning was Chen Jing’s junior disciple, Tingting. In terms of cultivation talent, the one ranked first in the rescue camp was naturally Chen Jing. However, Chen Jing’s rank was not as real as he was. Excluding Chen Jing, Wang Lei was naturally first place. Although Wang Lei had started a little late, his achievements had surpassed Xiao Gang and Wei Dong. After Wang Lei, the one who was ranked second was naturally Little Tingting. Currently, Tingting had not only successfully mastered the Six Passages of Divine Sword, but she had also broken through all of the Eight and Twelve Meridians. Speaking of the third, it was probably Zhang Xinlin. Back then, Xiao Zhang was the second person to successfully cultivate the Six Vein Divine Sword by relying solely on his own abilities, and after that, his cultivation resources were far inferior to those of Xiao Gang, Wei Dong, Lu Min, You Ye and so on.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Jing decided to let Zhang Xinlin be the secondary envoy, and also sent the special forces of the 101st division of the Azure Dragon Regiment to act as their guard team. The Green Dragon Army’s Special Battle Squadron was the strongest unit in the Green Mountain Army, and Squadron One (Dragon 1010111) was even more of a trump card. Every member of the squadron had mastered two of the Six Passages of Divine Swords, and Li Ping was an expert who had mastered four paths of the Six Passages of Divine Swords.
December 17, 10: 26 am. 20 people Little Qingshan self-rescue battalion, friendly mission (along with 6 civilians), arrived at the Battle Wolf Mercenary Group with the Iron Army Mountain squad. The Battle Wolf Mercenary Group, led by Zhu Fujun and Vice Captain Zhang Zhenglin, received the friendly mission from the northern part of Mianzhou with great dignity.
The Battle Wolf Mercenaries were considered the middle class of the Thirteen Mercenaries Alliance. These past few months had been extremely difficult for them both internally and externally.
Before the catastrophe, Zhang Zhenglin was a squadron leader of the special police brigade in the prefecture city of Manchu. Naturally, he had evolved into a man with considerable abilities during the catastrophe. After the disaster, Zhang organized a special police force to survive and occupy a large supermarket nearby. Half a month later, they had already discovered the emptiness of the city a month earlier than Chen Jing and company. Using the supermarket as a foothold, they rapidly expanded outwards.
On May 20, Zhang Zhenglin’s gathering place intersected with another force. Coincidentally, the leader of this force was Zhang Zhenglin’s classmate and best friend, Zhu Fujun. The two forces naturally became one. As Zhu Fujun is the sworn brother of Zhang Zhenglin and his strength after evolution is stronger than Zhang Zhenglin, the combined forces will use Zhu Fujun as a support to advocate for Zhenglin.
The game expert Zhu Fujun gave his team a resounding name called “Wolf Guards”. After merging together, he naturally used this name. The combined Wolf Guards naturally entered the fast track of development. In the past few months, the number of the Wolf Guards had expanded tenfold, from two hundred people to over two thousand people.
Unfortunately, the good news did not last long. On September 12th, the development of the Wolf Guards was blocked by a powerful force. Before the disaster, the leader of the Shark Mercenary Company was an international mercenary. After the disaster, he quickly formed a strong team and then went on a expedition to the east. In five months time, he landed 5% of the territory in the city and his military strength also reached 4000. After interacting with the war wolf’s forces, according to Hai Sha’s usual practice, he would of course annex them. The Battle Wolf Guards that were unwilling to surrender naturally had a violent collision with him. However, after this battle, the Battle Wolf Guards with over 2000 people were reduced to less than 1000 people. If there were no other unforeseen events, the destruction of the war wolf was inevitable.
