Lonely Swordsman - C34
On the same night that Zhang Xiang arrived at the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company, several figures stealthily slipped out of the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company’s camp and disappeared into the night from different directions.
On the morning of December 18th, in an oval table in an ordinary meeting room of the Mianzhou Hotel, controlled by the Sea Shark Mercenaries, sat a tall, sturdy, and well-proportioned man. He appeared to be in his thirties, probably less than forty years old. The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a neatly trimmed moustache was lying across his lips. On the left and right of the man sat eight or nine men of uneven height and weight. This was the Chairman of the Thirteenth Mercenary Alliance, Shark, the leader of the Sea Shark Mercenary Company, surrounded by his subordinates, King Kong.
“Mole, explain the situation first.” Shark sat down and first scanned the entire area. Then, he said to an average looking youth around the age of twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old that if he met someone with good eyesight, he would definitely be able to recognize that this youth was one of the figures that had disappeared from the surroundings of the Battle Wolf Mercenaries last night.
“Yes, big brother.” The youth called Mole stood up and told him in detail about what had happened yesterday at the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company’s training grounds.
His name was Liu Qiang, and in the Sea Shark Mercenary Company, everyone called him Grizzly Bear (who was born as a shark mercenary and was used to giving his subordinates such a loud and clear name). Grizzly Bear was almost sixty years old, and was originally a famous chef in Mianzhou. Just like Zhao Hu, a fat guy like him, who couldn’t even move a muscle, had evolved into a super strong warrior. His strength was slightly lower than that of Lone Wolf, but it was slightly higher than that of a shark. The Grizzly Bear was the captain of the Sharks Guard, and the Lone Wolf was promoted to vice captain by the Sharks after his death. After standing up, the grizzly bear first touched his unwrapped belly, then said, “Big Brother, I didn’t expect that there would actually be a Six Vein Divine Sword in this world. We have to get it over here!”
“Big brother, give me a few people. I’ll go and capture two of them. I don’t believe that I can’t pry open his mouth.” The one who spoke was a small guy with two daggers stabbed into his waist. He was the newly appointed captain of the guards, his original name was Li Wei, and because he liked to wear red, he was named Fire Fox by sharks.
“No!” A short man in his fifties stood up. His figure was somewhat thin. This man was called Bei Tianshi, and was originally the CEO of a company in Mianzhou. He had not evolved during the disaster, but he was very smart, shrewd, and had a lot of evil ideas. Because he was respected by sharks and their King Kong, he was honored as Mr. Bei in the sea sharks. After he stood up, he touched his bearded chin and said: “From the information we can see that the opponent is very strong. Those who know the Six Branch Divine Sword are all experts, even if Captain Fire Fox is unlucky and meets someone on his own, it would not be that easy to catch him. I believe Captain Firefox doesn’t have the confidence to defend against the sword, right? ”
“Then what do you think we should do?” Although Firefox was not convinced, he was still afraid when facing the Six Branch Divine Sword. As such, he had no choice but to lower his head in pride.
Mister Bei looked at Fire Fox, then turned to Shark and said: “Guild Leader, we must obtain these Six Branch Divine Swords, but we absolutely must not act in a rush. After careful consideration, this subordinate has two plans for everyone to discuss.” At this point, he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, “The first plan is that we can send spies into the enemy’s camp and join their guard. We can only bring them back after learning the Six Passages of Divine Sword Technique. The advantage of this plan is that I am able to learn the Six Passages of Divine Sword at 100% stealthily, and the downside is that it will take up a lot of time. ”
After pausing for a moment, Mr. Bei continued, “The second plan is like this, because the intelligence reports say that Zhang Xiang’s diplomatic mission is sent to our Thirteen Mercenary Alliance, so they will come to our Sea Shark sooner or later. At that time, we can arrange a red powder trap for them, and I don’t believe that they won’t cheat, or else they might lure a few people over to our side.”
Well, well, sir, you have a brilliant plan. No wonder the ancients said that a military advisor was worth more than a million soldiers!” After hearing Mr. Bei’s plan, Shark was very happy. He decided, “We will work in unison. Bamboo Rod, your Ministry of Information will send a few people over. Remember to pick those that are absolutely loyal.
“Yes, I guarantee that I will do it well for the Guild Leader.” A tall, thin man stood up and said.
“Sir, I’ll leave the reception to you. I’m sure you’ll be able to handle it well!”
On December 18, 2027, the biggest harvest of the self-rescue camp came. From the beginning of September, after the harvest of ten meat mountains, the self-rescue camp put more than a hundred meat mountains in succession on the two to three hundred square kilometers of the outskirts of the northwest of Mianzhou. Of course, these more than a hundred meat mountains were cultivated from the raw meat mountains that were half taken out of the black and white beaded hill.
In the past few days, Xiao Yahui’s scout team had discovered that these guys had all grown up already, and it was rare to see any zombies in this large area. It seemed like the several tens of thousands of zombies in the vast area of the northwest region had all been eaten up by this mountain of flesh (these guys were really great killers for zombies), so even if some of the mountains hadn’t grown up yet, there weren’t any zombies left for it to continue growing, so the harvest season had come.
In the past two days, with the White Tiger Regiment as the main body, they had used more than eight hundred zombie corpses, and a few tons of gasoline, to finally deal with all 121 meat mountains. After that, Chen Jing brought along Xiao Gang, Ouyang, Lu Min, You Cai and a dozen other core members of the self-rescue battalion to harvest 78 pigeon egg-sized beads, 36 smaller beads, and 7 beads, of which one was as big as an egg.
Among these beads, there were 61 white ones, 58 black ones that were almost uniform, and another two that were gray in color. No one on the scene sensed anything, but it was a pity that Zhang Xiang wasn’t there. I wonder if he sensed anything?
The next step was the distribution of the beads. Chen Jing temporarily stored the seven large beads and the two gray beads by himself, while the remaining 112 were allocated. Following the principle of good steel for the sabre, he decided to let the qualified person break through in seclusion.
Currently, 9 people were qualified to use the white bead to break through: Wang Jun, Zhang Cheng, Ouyang Zhenlin, You Cai, Zhou Jian, Zhang Bin, Zhang Xinlin, Yang Dahai and Gao Zao. Li Jianming, Xiao Yahui, Tang Lin, Huang Xiaogang, Lu Min, Guo Qingqing, Zhou Yan, Zhao Hu and Tingting were qualified to use the black bead to break through. Of course, these people would never go into closed-door training at the same time. Otherwise, there would be no leader in this group of people. In the end, after a period of balance, it was decided that Zhang Cheng, Ouyang Zhenlin, You Cai, and Zhang Bin would each take seven white beads to train, while Li Jianming, Xiao Yaohui, Huang Xiaogang, Lu Min, Tingting, and the other five would each take seven black beads to train.
Besides the 11 people who were in seclusion and Zhang Xiang and Zhang Xinlin who were on mission, there were only 35 core members left in the self-rescue camp. Chen Jing decided to give each of them a bead to help them cultivate.
On December 20, 2027, Xiao Gang and the rest of the nine each took seven pearls and went into closed door training. Although the other core members did not go into closed door training, they still made full use of the newly acquired beads to train at all times.
In a split-second, the entire self-rescue camp entered a crazed state. Of course, Chen Jing couldn’t fall behind either. After all, he had already found out from Old Tie that Yi An could have a super master, and Chen Jing couldn’t judge if he could fight against him. Therefore, Chen Jing directly used the largest bead to improve, improve, and further improve himself. “Otherwise, it would be sad if there were a situation where human lives had to be taken.
