Armipotent

Chapter 339 - Bigger Number, Stronger Person - Return

The ex-soldiers were surprised by the strength they held. They did not expect to kill thousands of zombies with just hundreds of them.

The zombieʼs decapitated bodies were strewn all over the place outside the entrance gate of the HZ Bay. Despite the bloody surroundings, the soldiers were pleasantly surprised with newly gained strength from joining the Survival Game.

Tang Shaoyang watched the whole fight from behind. The battle was started with a defensive position before his men actively spread out and slaughtered the zombies on their path.

Yes, he did not join the battle. He integrated with Zowen and watched the fight from the back through [Spirit Eyes]. He learned to combine his two skills for a wide range of observations, [Spirit Eyes] and [Greater Sight].

He could help anyone who was in danger with his lightning from behind. His role in the battle was as support. But from how everyone fought, most of them were around level 70 to over level 100. They easily overpowered the stage-1 zombie and a few attacks to kill the stage-3 one.

He did not help as even without him, his people took care of the zombie horde by themselves. It was a huge boost of power.

ʼItʼs a pity that many core members of the Tarrior stay in the base,ʼ Tang Shaoyang regretted that not all Tarrior joined the Survival. He was not going to expect a long game such as Survival Game. For others, the Survival Game might be a nightmare, but it was a blessing for him.

Watching the people who were happy to wipe out the zombie horde in four hours, Tang Shaoyang was quite happy too. His people were certainly stronger than a normal survivor.

Swoosh!

Wen quickly landed next to Tang Shaoyang and reported, ”Lu An and Kairu have killed the Zombie Lord. There are three Zombie Lords in total, Lu An asked me to tell you this.”

It was unusual that an army was controlled by three heads. This made him worry about his base, he had been away for over a month because of the Survival Game.

”Thirty minutes rest, we will immediately depart to the base after!” He told Wen to inform everyone. His flying ability was useful in this kind of moment as the people were spread out after the battle.

Meanwhile, three kilometers to the southeast of the HZ Bay, Lu An was standing on top of a zombieʼs headless body. The blood dripped from his red sword, the same sword given by Tang Shaoyang for him. He did not plan to change the sword even if there was a better sword. The sentiment he had for the sword made him reluctant to change his weapon.

”1789 Zombies and 1 Zombie Lord!” Kairu who was not far from Lu An mentioned the number of the zombies he had killed. He was competing with Lu An who would get the most killed.

Lu An waved his sword to clean the dripping blood before he sheathed the sword back, ”Over two thousand zombies, and two Zombie Lords,” he said that casually.

”You did not count?” Kairu raised his voice. He felt humiliated that his rival did not count the kill.

”Does it matter?” Lu An raised his head, he spotted a dot in the sky. The dot then got bigger and became a figure, it was Wen. He landed next to Lu An, the Jade Eagle glanced at his frustrated friend, ”Listen to The Lord, training is good but it will not help you significantly to beat him! You need to level up too and keep evolving, only then you have a chance to beat Lu An in a battle!”

Bigger number, stronger person. Those were the words from Tang Shaoyang. Wen was aware that the Lord was talking about the attributes and levels that became so clear now.

After saying that to Kairu, Wen looked toward Lu An, ”The Lordʼs command is for thirty minutes rest and we will depart to the base!” After he informed Lu An, Wen flew again, ”I will inform the others too!”

”Boss must be worried for the base,” Lu An could tell that. His Boss would usually try to investigate the unusualness, but this time he decided to return.

Kairu was about to look for more undead. His goal was to level now. Lu An noticed what the lion beastmen tried to do, ”Letʼs go back, donʼt go too far from me or you will get lost!” This was the first time for the Flaming Lion to go outside of the HZ Bay, getting lost in this dead city was highly possible.

Delia, Elin, Arina, and Selena were standing around the black SUV car. The four looked at the car curiously. They were told that they would return to the base with this black metal, but the four did not know how the car worked.

Tang Shaoyang was checking the carʼs fuel, he quickly noticed it was full. It must be his men who filled it for me. He looked out and noticed the four women were caressing the car, ”Hop in, we will depart in a few minutes.”

Liang Suyin and Li Na were helping the four women to get in the car. They opened the back seat, Delia, Arina, and Liang Suyin were sitting in the back seat. Elina, Selena, and Li Na were in the middle seat.

Tang Shaoyang quickly noticed that the car was not enough for everyone. Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue were not here yet. He was thinking about how to solve the issue, but then he was getting shoved from the front door.

”This is a girls-only car, look for the other car to hop on,” Zhang Mengyao was the one who pulled him away from the door. She sat in the driverʼs seat and waved her hand, pointing at the car behind.

Kang Xue was also already sitting in the front seat, leaving him alone outside, ”Get ready, we will be leaving shortly,” that was what General Zhang said before she closed the window.

The car behind, Wei Xi waved his hand at him, calling him to get into the car. He had no choice but to go with the men.

Inside the car, Elinova, Selena, and Arina looked worried, ”Are you sure this is okay? Or should I go to another car, let him replace me instead?” Elin was the first one to voice out her concern.

”Donʼt spoil him!” Zhang Mengyao sternly warned the others, ”We have to stand our ground, or he will keep adding more women. You donʼt want to share your affections with hundreds of other women, are you?”

Then Kang Xue giggled out all sudden, ”Sister Mengyao, you can speak like that here. But when he brings you to the bed, you will be melted under him,” her small laugh softened the atmosphere inside the car. Especially for Li Na, since she was the last, it was a bit awkward for her, but soon the conversation flowed smoothly.

It was a girlʼs talk, how they planned to limit Tang Shaoyang from adding more women into the harem. Of course, it was just small talk, nothing serious about it.

However, out of the eight women, there was a girl that did not join the talk. Delia was busy inspecting the air conditioner that blew cold air into her face, ”Is this a magic of this world?” She killed the conversation with her question.

Zhang Mengyao smiled at the innocent question, ”Itʼs a technology the humans of this world invented for our convenience. Just like this car!” She heard a honk from the car behind, a signal that the group was ready to depart. She stepped on the pedal and the car was moving forward.

Delia was surprised, the same for Elin, Arina, and Selena. Their car was the one who led the convoy. The four women were looking around outside the car as the car followed the road.

The dead street with no life, the abandoned car, and the abandoned building. The sight was not that great, but a few skyscrapers building that entered their sight amazed the four women from another world.

”What happened? Is this an abandoned city?” Arina asked.

”The Game, this is what happened to our world when the game started. Zombies were spawning next to us and started to kill the humans. Millions or maybe billions of people died, we donʼt know. However, this should be a common sight in every city. It will take time to restore the city,” Zhang Mengyao explained while driving the car. The road had been cleared, and the zombieʼs dead bodies from the horde were also gone. Tang Shaoyang did his magic, using the horde for Zaneosʼs advancement since Zombie was part of Undead.

Hearing that, Deliaʼs expression changed, ”Then what would happen to my World? Before I leave Arkania Continent, I also heard that the Game starts something like that, will undead start to spawn endlessly too?” She was worried about his father and the other villagers.

”We donʼt know for sure. Our world is fundamentally different so our worlds may have experienced a different start and different game too,” Kang Xue smiled at the young girl, ”But I heard from Shaoyang that your family should be safe with Wenʼs Tribe and Kairuʼs tribe. They should be fine,” she comforted the worried Delia.

While heading toward the HZ Bay took them days, it took them a few hours to return. That was because they just went straight to the base. But Zhang Mengyao was surprised that there was a black steel wall blocking the road. The wall even cut the building, forming a wide barrier.

”Whatʼs wrong?” Selena asked as soon as she noticed Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue had a change of expression.

”Weird, where does this wall come from?” Zhang Mengyao came down from the care while reminding the others to stay, ”Stay inside, I will inspect the wall.”
