Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 120: Chapter 118: Hunt Plan, Power Up

In the end, power reigns supreme in this world.

To protect Peng City, our strength must surpass that of the conglomerates.

Facing a colossal group alone, Lin Yuan knows it’s a daunting challenge.

But he must succeed.

Lin Yuan knows he is under immense pressure, and so is Yang Dingguo.

The best way to alleviate pressure is to enhance our strength.

We must urgently awaken Zhong Kui’s tattoo, or even awaken the tattoos of the Four Great Judges together.

Only then can we possess the ability to contend with the conglomerates.

If the day comes when the conglomerates fall into my hands, every single one will be hung from the streetlights by me, Lin Yuan.

”Old Yang, how long do you think Peng City can remain peaceful?” Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking.

Completely awakening Zhong Kui’s tattoo requires hunting Tier Five Evil Spirits.

How many Tier Five Evil Spirits are needed to fully awaken Zhong Kui’s tattoo is yet unknown.

Time is running out for Lin Yuan, and he must cherish every moment.

”With Xu Fuchao dead, they will certainly change their strategy towards Peng City. Overall, at least one to two months, I’d estimate!”

”The conglomerates are not completely united; there are already many spies planted among them by above.”

”If they make any moves, the higher-ups will notify us immediately!” Yang Dingguo said slowly.

The people above Yang Dingguo can only notify them.

This shows the officials are quite powerless!

The officials’ scope is too vast, and to protect the basic territory, they can only temporarily play a double game with the conglomerates.

Of course, the conglomerates are the same.

Lin’an City is the conglomerates’ basic territory, and all their actions towards Peng City are conducted under the premise of protecting Lin’an City.

This is good news for Lin Yuan and the others because it means they won’t face the full force of the conglomerates head-on.

”One month, huh?”

”Should be enough!”

”I’ll first hunt some Tier Five Evil Spirits to bolster my strength,” Lin Yuan said to Yang Dingguo.

Tier Five Evil Spirits are the big bosses of the Deceitful Demon invasion 2.0 version.

However, that’s from others’ perspectives.

For Lin Yuan, Tier Five Evil Spirits are at best elite monsters.

....

....

Peng City.

Wushan Shelter.

Since the research team, laboratory, and alloy production line moved into Wushan Shelter, it has been transformed remarkably.

When Lin Yuan returned to the shelter, everybody was present!

Except for Geng Youcai.

”Where’s that kid Geng Youcai?” Lin Yuan asked.

Zhuge Ming stepped forward to reply, ”Boss, Geng Youcai went to the laboratory!”

”Though he’s an amateur scientist from the countryside, now the lab can’t function without him. Especially in alloy production, he has recently cracked several tough nuts.”

Geng Youcai possesses the Lu Ban Life Pattern, and Lu Ban is considered the ancestor of scientists.

That was during the Spring and Autumn period, when he could even create manned flying devices.

With the research team and laboratory moving here, Geng Youcai has been the biggest beneficiary.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Just as Lin Yuan mentioned Geng Youcai, he rushed in hastily.

”Boss, you’re back!”

”When I heard you were back, I came immediately!”

”Boss, this alloy is truly amazing. Once we start mass production, it will definitely turn the tide of the current situation,” Geng Youcai said excitedly.

Now, Geng Youcai isn’t even considering going to the official shelter anymore.

Even the essential laboratory at the official shelter has been relocated here.

Now, this is the ”true” official shelter.

At this moment, the little chubby guy behind Geng Youcai spoke to Lin Yuan, ”Thanks, Boss Lin, for saving my life.”

”When I arrived, Elder Yang said that I should follow your instructions from now on.”

This chubby kid was the Xu Weili whom Lin Yuan saved a few days ago.

Now, the Xu Family only has him left as a descendant.

This alloy, capable of fending off Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm, was invented by the Xu Family.

Moreover, now Xu Weili and the conglomerates are irreconcilable.

So, Elder Yang also had him join the alloy research and production team.

Lin Yuan nodded and said to Xu Weili, ”Do your best, Yang Lao and I will not let you down.”

”Our Peng City is different from other places; it’s not a place where conglomerate forces can run wild.”

”Producing this alloy in quantity as soon as possible will be considered the Xu Family’s contribution to humanity.”

After a brief exchange with Xu Weili, Lin Yuan once again addressed Zhang Zhen and the others, ”Have a good rest tonight, starting from tomorrow, we have operations.”

”The Tier Five Evil Spirits near Peng City all need to be cleared out.”

Early in the Strange Invasion 2.0, the Tier Five Evil Spirit, Mr. Yimu Wu, appeared in Shantong City near Peng City.

At that time, aside from Mr. Yimu Wu, the strongest Evil Spirit near Peng City was the Tier Six Evil Spirit, the Golden Armor Zombie, in Han City.

As well as the Tier Six Evil Spirit, the Mother-Child Deceitful King, that appeared in Feng City.

Back then, these two Tier Six Evil Spirits were already at their peak.

As the Strange Invasion process advanced, they have now officially become Tier Five Evil Spirits, possessing their own Deceitful Demon Strongholds.

The Golden Armor Zombie refined a film city in Han City, and now, the entire film city has turned into a Deceitful Demon Stronghold.

The Mother-Child Deceitful King turned a village in Feng City into a Deceitful Demon Stronghold, entering it means certain death.

Lin Yuan’s target this time is the Golden Armor Zombie and the Mother-Child Deceitful King.

They are the closest to Peng City, hunting them down won’t take much time.

Lin Yuan calculated that taking Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, Zhuge Ming, and Zhou Yu would be enough.

Bai Ling’Er is a demon, and she does not urgently need Deceitful Qi.

Moreover, Bai Ling’Er’s strength is second only to his own; now that the laboratory and production line have moved in, the shelter needs someone to hold the fort.

By the time Lin Yuan had everything planned, it was already evening.

Coming to Bai Ling’Er’s room, Lin Yuan told Bai Ling’Er she would stay at the shelter this time to hold the fort.

”I can stay, but you must be careful!” Bai Ling’Er frowned and advised, ”If there’s any danger, retreat immediately, don’t risk it!”

Bai Ling’Er noticed that since Lin Yuan came back from killing Xu Fuchao, his desire for strength was exceptionally intense.

At dinner just now, Lin Yuan seemed quite absent-minded.

”Yes!” Lin Yuan responded, saying, ”I know the strength of Han City’s Golden Armor Zombie and Feng City’s Mother-Child Deceitful King. There’s no danger this time.”

”But if you encounter any unsolvable problems, remember to ask Elder Yang for help.”

”Elder Yang, like me, is trustworthy.”

After chatting with Bai Ling’Er for a while, Lin Yuan was about to leave.

However, just as Lin Yuan was preparing to leave, Bai Ling’Er took Lin Yuan’s hand and softly said, ”I saw you didn’t eat much at dinner. Do you want some buns and peanuts? They’re freshly cooked, very tender!”

Under Bai Ling’Er’s generous invitation, Lin Yuan began eating buns and peanuts.

After eating his fill, Lin Yuan sighed, ”Your steamed buns are better than Yingying’s; hers are dead dough, and yours are risen dough.”

”These risen dough buns, eating two fills me just right.”

....

....

The next morning.

Lin Yuan woke up in Bai Ling’Er’s room; by that time, everyone was ready.

Zhang Zhen, Wen Yingying, Zhuge Ming, and Zhou Yu were all core members under Lin Yuan’s command.

They accompanied Lin Yuan, who would absorb the Power of Rules from the two Tier Five Evil Spirits, while they could absorb a large amount of Deceitful Qi.

”Boss, should we go to Han City first or Feng City?” Zhang Zhen asked excitedly.

Since the last siege of Evil Spirits, there haven’t been any major battles.

For a battle-hardened person like Zhang Zhen, it was indeed stifling.

Lin Yuan had already planned the entire operation last night!

First, eliminate the Golden Armor Zombie in Han City, then deal with the Mother-Child Deceitful King in Feng City.

”We’ll go to Han City first. Is everyone ready?” Lin Yuan asked the group.

Zhang Zhen patted his chest and said, ”I’ve been ready for a long time!”

”Boss, let’s go!”

At this moment, Bai Ling’Er pulled Wen Yingying aside and softly said, ”Keep an eye on him. If there’s any danger, don’t let him act impulsively.”

”Mm!” Wen Yingying nodded gently in agreement.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan said to Bai Ling’Er, ”I’ve entrusted the house to you!”

...

...

Lin Yuan did not use Yellow Springs Road to go to Han City; instead, they drove together.

All the way, Lin Yuan also observed the current state of Peng City.

Now, most of Peng City is deserted.

Even if survivors are not qualified to enter the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter, they try to live near the outskirts of the shelter.

With the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter as the center, within a radius of over ten miles, this area contains the least Evil Spirits.

However, the Evil Spirits invading this world seem endless; even if the authorities dispatch people to clear the Evil Spirits near the shelter every day, it is only slightly reduced.

And now, those who can live in the city without relying on official shelters are mostly Life Pattern Masters.

Driving on the road, especially after leaving Peng City and reaching the suburbs.

Lin Yuan saw many powerful Life Pattern Masters constructing small shelters one after another.

These civilian shelters, some sheltering dozens of people, others, hundreds or even thousands.

Though not as safe as the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter, these small shelters greatly enhance the survival rate of the survivors.

In the case where the capacity of the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter is limited, encouraging skilled Life Pattern Masters to build small shelters is a good solution.

Han City is a county subordinate to Peng City; the distance between the two is neither near nor far, about an hour’s drive.

Looking at the current Peng City, even in this era of Strange Invasion, they have gradually gained a foothold and can contend against Evil Spirits.

They withstood the invasion of the Evil Spirits, no matter what, they must not fall into the hands of the plutocrats.
