The base at Sichuan was different from others, under the protection of the soldiers, they had maintained some form of stability. Although many of them were somewhat malnourished due to the lack of resources, at least they were orderly and not as problematic as other places, where the evil-doers ran rampant, and corpses were everywhere.
Yue Zhong had just swept the base a rough glance and did not pay any special attention. He knew that it was likely cleaned up, and one could not tell much.
The party walked into a large wooden house that looked clean and tidy.
With an order from Yue Hai Min, a lot of food was then served.
Due to the scarcity of food, even rats had been eaten clean.
The most appetizing of the food served was a plate of some roasted rat meat, with some peanut grains, while the main dish was dry biscuits and wild vegetables.
Seeing the table of food, Yue Zhong could not muster any appet.i.te. If it was the most trying of situations, even if he had to eat ants or bugs, he would not have any qualms. However, since he was capable of so much now, with the lowest quality being mutant vegetables and Type 4 Beast Meat, he could not bring himself to partake in such cuisine.
Yue Hai Min gestured sincerely, "Please help yourself!"
"Wait a minute. Hai Min, I think you guys should try our China"s food."
Yue Zhong chuckled, and flipped his hands, revealing a number of canned food, as he opened them up.
The moment he opened them, the vibrant mutant vegetables as well as Type 4 Beast Meat were revealed.
When the various commanders took in the fragrant smell, they could not help but salivate, staring fixedly at the cans, revealing expressions of greed.
As high-ranking officials, it was not tough for them to have their fill in the base. However, it was difficult to eat such luxurious cuisine. Many had fallen sick and died because of the lack of nutrients. Otherwise, the base would not have been left with only 6,000-odd survivors.
"Dig in!"
Hearing that, the commanders quickly raised their chopsticks to grab some food into their mouths.
As Yue Hai Min bit into the Type 4 Beast meat, his eyes lit up, revealing an expression of greed. He began to grab more frantically, "Amazing!! This is too delicious!! Ah! This taste seems to be changing even my physique! It"s unbelievable!!"
The rest of the commanders were not fools, they could sense the benefits of the food for themselves. They also began to scramble for the food, gobbling them down as though they were hungry ghosts. In just a manner of seconds, the food had been swept clean.
After finis.h.i.+ng, they then looked at Yue Zhong sheepishly. Before the apocalypse, they were all living good lives with plenty of food. However, none of it could compare to the food that Yue Zhong had brought out now.
As the meal was over, Yue Zhong directly asked, "Yue Hai Min, are there any larger bases around you guys?"
This time, Yue Zhong did not just come for the Sichuan base, but also all the survivors within the vicinity, before moving off.
With the pa.s.sing of time, as more foreign species descended upon Earth, the number of survivors would decrease from the killings.
Yue Zhong was currently training his troops as well as dedicating personnel to go and fetch survivors from all over.
Yue Hai Min reported immediately, "Leader, I know that there"s a large survivor base about 50 li to the west of here. There are more survivors there compared to here."
Yue Zhong replied, "Very good, in that case, gather all your survivors and board my s.h.i.+p. We"re leaving immediately."
When Yue Hai Min heard that, he frowned, "Leader, why must we leave? We can stay here, and reclaim Sichuan slowly."
The rest of the commanders also revealed expressions of agreement. They were all Sichuan men through and through and were not willing to leave.
Yue Zhong arched his eyebrows and was about to say something when sounds of gunshots and screams rang out in the distance.
One officer came running into the house with a panicked expression, "Monster!! Commander, there"s a monster killing its way over!!"
Yue Hai Min"s eyes narrowed, as he asked solemnly, "What monster? Zhang Xing, say it clearly!"
Zhang Xing was still wide-eyed in shock, as he shouted out, "Those monsters are over 2m, and have blade-like arms. Their bodies are covered in some grey exoskeleton, and look like aliens! Yes! That"s right! They"re just like those aliens in the films! The 1st Special Forces have been wiped out!"
"What?! The 1st Special Forces have been wiped out?!"
When Yue Hai Min heard that, his face turned pale. The 1st Special Forces were the most elite of the entire base, and it had been them stationed at the valley, fiercely defending against the zombies. With them dead, the defense of the base was reduced by over 90%.
The rest of the commanders also turned pale, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Yue Zhong"s face changed, as he stood up, "What? Aliens!!"
The aliens were biological weapons capable of destroying an entire planet, with their fertility on a much more rapid scale as compared to humans. They could live as parasites within humans and was hard to detect. Yue Zhong had hoped for them not to descend upon Earth.
Even the savage Beastmen and vicious Dino-race could not compare to the threat of the aliens.
"Move!"
Yue Zhong immediately led everyone out.
Currently, within the base, it was pandemonium. Countless survivors were crying and sobbing as they ran towards the soldiers. Only those with guns could make them feel safe.
"Help! Save me!!"
One female survivor fell to the ground, finally seeing the dozens of soldiers in front of her. Hope gleamed in her eyes, as she screamed out.
Swoos.h.!.+
With a flash of a blade, the body of the female survivors was sliced in two, and behind her, stood a bladed-alien with a vicious visage.
"Beast!! Go to h.e.l.l!"
When the soldiers saw this, they roared out with rage and fired their weapons at the alien.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bullets bounced off the body of the alien, not leaving a single scratch, causing everyone to despair.
One of the soldiers shouted out, "How is that possible! Change to the grenade launchers!!"
Before he even finished speaking, a blade light flashed past and his head was sent flying in a shower of blood.
The rest of the soldiers eyed the bladed-alien that had suddenly appeared, their eyes filled with fear, losing all will to combat. Against these monsters that were faster than the speed of sound, and were also invulnerable to their weapons, anybody would despair.
The eyes of the bladed-alien flashed, as it swept them a look, and disappeared.
The next instant, all of them lost their heads, as their headless corpses crumpled to the ground.
Yue Zhong and the rest had just arrived, in time to witness the alien slaughtering the soldiers.
Yue Hai Min and the others were filled with shock, "What a terrifying creature!!"
The combat ability of the alien was astonis.h.i.+ng, just one was enough to wipe out the entire base.
Yue Zhong swept a cold look and ordered, "Do it! Annihilate it!"
The dozen soldiers of the Central Army that had followed Yue Zhong quickly readied their Gauss Rifles, firing coldly at the alien.
Each of these Type 4 experts was already at Level 80, their Marksmans.h.i.+p at the Third Order, and with additional training, it was hard for them to miss.
The speed of the alien might be insane, but against these trained soldiers, it could not dodge in time, as the multiple beams slammed into its body.
Under the Gauss Rifle beams, the alien was punched full of holes, falling out of the sky, as the corrosive blood flowed out and it became a corpse.
"Strong!! Is this the might of the Central Army?! Incredible!! This small team is more than enough to deal with our base! The gap in strength is too wide!"
w.a.n.g Da Pao and the rest of the commanders exchanged looks, feeling waves of shock in their hearts. The alien that had been faster than the speed of sound was actually killed so easily by Yue Zhong"s soldiers. Their capabilities had long since surpa.s.sed what Earth had been capable of in the past.
Yue Zhong gave Floxenia an order, "Nia, stay here with Yue Hai Min and the rest. Go organize the survivors up the Storm Battles.h.i.+p. I will go wipe out these aliens."
