Chapter 884 Strange Retreat

"Old Wang, from now on, increase the defense level of the base to prevent any attacks at any time."

After ordering the Moyun Vine to devour the old man's corpse, Qin Zhong turned around and said to Wang Boshen, "Also, have Zhou Luosen speed up the mining operation. In the next two days, I will lead people to establish a mineral transportation line."

"Yes, Brother Qin." Hearing Qin Zhong's order, Wang Boshen nodded and took out his notebook to write it down.

Then, he frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Qin, if we kill this old guy like this, will it cause a conflict between us and the Kyoto government?"

"Haha, just him? He's just someone being pushed out as a scapegoat."

Hearing Wang Boshen's words, Qin Zhong shook his head and said coldly, "Although his strength is good, he should be just mediocre in the Kyoto government with so many experts. The United Front Work Department of the Kyoto government sent him here just to test my attitude. If I follow the rules, they will definitely use their power to bully us and force us to hand over everything we have obtained in the name of national justice. However, I think that when they find out that I killed this old guy, they should change their strategy and send some people who are familiar with us."

"But, this man is also a member of the Dragon Group after all. If we kill him like this, how can the Dragon Group appease the internal emotions if they don't deal with us?" After hearing Qin Zhong's explanation, Wang Boshen was still a little confused.

You know, after all, the Kyoto government was the previous central government. If they knew that the people they sent were killed by Qin Zhong, they would definitely not let it go. At least there would be some warmongers who would definitely ask Qin Zhong to give an explanation.

"Haha, in the apocalypse, there are many dangers. Who knows how this person died?"

Hearing Wang Boshen's words, Qin Zhong sneered and said, "I don't think the people from the United Front Department can use this trick of deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth from their subordinates without my teaching. As long as we have what they want and we have sufficient strength, they will definitely negotiate with us."

"I see..." After hearing this, Wang Boshen finally understood why Qin Zhong, who had always been kind and merciful, was so cruel this time.

It turned out that he wanted to use his actual actions to clearly express his attitude to the Kyoto government, that is, he, Qin Zhong, would not allow himself to be bullied.

The death of the white-bearded old man did not cause any waves.

Although some soldiers were initially puzzled as to why Qin Zhong killed "his own people", they felt relieved when they thought about the intrigues that were everywhere in the end times.

Even their small gathering place of Anyuan County has been embroiled in many disturbances due to the issue of its leader, so it is not surprising that there are factional struggles in such a huge government.

In this seemingly calm atmosphere, Qin Zhong and others were busy and nervous.

First of all, in the research and development of biotechnology, Hu Meng entered the research institute again. She vowed to create the Moyun vine based on the Minotaur gene fragment in the shortest time possible.

As long as this thing is successfully developed, the defense capability of the Anyuan County gathering place will be greatly improved.

On the other hand, Wang Boshen also began to send people to continue to improve the base's defense in case of a large-scale attack by the Kyoto government. Although this possibility is small, it is necessary to take precautions before it happens.

At the same time, Zhou Luosen, who was in charge of mining, finally led the strong survivors to mine the first batch of minerals and carried out preliminary processing.

As long as we find a way to transport it to the base, we can carry out in-depth processing at any time.

……

After learning that the first batch of minerals had been mined, Qin Zhong began to gather team members and prepare for the road-clearing operation.

Although the mining area is not too far from the Anyuan County gathering place, it is still quite difficult to establish a safe route on this road.

Therefore, this time, in addition to personally taking action, Qin Zhong also brought along masters such as Sun Xiaoyan, Xiao Yingyong, Wang Yue, Ding Shenwang, Xue Yue, Lan Ziqing, Wu Jun, and Song Qing. Of course, there were more than three thousand soldiers accompanying him.

After all, their goal is not only to transport the mined minerals back, but also to eliminate the zombies and mutant beasts around the transportation route, and to build various garrison bunkers along the way to ensure the long-term and stable operation of the transportation route.

"Damn, there are too many high-level zombies."

Qin Zhong chopped a level 3 S-type zombie into two pieces with one knife, and couldn't help rubbing his slightly aching head.

Their pioneering team had killed seven level three T-type zombies and three level three S-type zombies in less than three hours after setting out.

It can be seen that after the secondary catalysis of the X-planet people, the number of evolved zombies has now reached an astonishing level.

"Not only have their numbers increased, but Brother Qin, have you noticed that no matter what type of zombie they are, they are much stronger than the evolved zombies we encountered at the beginning?"

Glancing at the zombie remains on the ground, Sun Xiaoyan frowned and said worriedly, "Take the T-type zombies, for example. Even a Type 56 could break through their defenses before, but now, even a laser rifle would take several shots to barely penetrate their heads. The speed of their evolution is too terrifying."

"Yes, the zombies that have appeared so far are only level three. If they are above level three, I wonder how powerful they will be."

Hearing Sun Xiaoyan's words, Qin Zhong couldn't help but frown. He had the most profound experience of the monster's increased strength.

Take the third-level zombie just now for example. Both its speed and strength have increased by at least one-third compared to before.

Don’t underestimate this one third. For Qin Zhong, this one third may not be a big deal, but for ordinary evolvers, this one third may be the difference between life and death.

"Roar!" At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the distant hillside.

Hearing this thunderous roar, Qin Zhong's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, someone has seen a creature similar to T4 nearby. Judging from the current changes in the zombies' strength, T4 is an extremely terrifying existence."

"Yes!"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, the soldiers following behind him tightened their weapons and looked around nervously, fearing that a powerful zombie would suddenly appear.

After all, most of them couldn't even defeat a level three zombie, let alone the more terrifying level four zombie.

"Roar!"

The thunderous roar was getting closer and closer to Qin Zhong and others, and the sound was becoming more and more violent.

But just when Qin Zhong was about to take the initiative to confront the monster hiding in the mountains and forests, the monster suddenly growled and stopped moving. After a while, it disappeared without a trace amidst a series of hurried footsteps.

"Huh? Why did they suddenly retreat?" Qin Zhong was very puzzled when he found that the enemy retreated inexplicably.

He didn't understand why the creatures in the jungle suddenly retreated.

Did he feel that Qin Zhong and his men were difficult to deal with? Or did he sense that a more terrifying existence was approaching?
