The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 264

Chapter 264 The Situation in the South
2030, 7 July, 11 a.m.

The Southern Military Region and the inner city of the Southern Capital were in chaos.

The outer city wall of Southern City was broken at 2 AM last night. Most of the survivors in the outer city were transferred to the inner city.

Of course, there were also countless survivors who died under the sharp claws of the zombies.

The chaos in the inner city, which originally had only 10 million people, was forcibly stuffed into more than 10 million survivors overnight. One could imagine how chaotic the inner city was.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianze quickly mobilized his army to allow the civilians to quickly move into the elevator-free buildings on the high floors and some abandoned factory buildings.

In less than 12 hours, the inner city was also a little chaotic. Compared to before, it was much better.

Zhang Tianze was a little angry lately. After his son and Wang Sheng entered the ruins, everything went badly. They were killed.

Immediately after, they encountered zombies besieging the city. Yesterday, the outer city was broken again, and it could be said that it was almost burnt out.

However, these were not the most troublesome things. The most troublesome thing was that Nan Du City was located in a special location, and it was already the southernmost place in the interior of China.

Originally, the best route to break out of the encirclement and escape through the tunnels was, of course, to run inland in central China.

However, the one who tricked him was that outside of Nandu City, near the central region of China, there were the most densely packed zombies and the highest ranked ones. It was said that there were at least two zombie kings hiding within.

In that case, it would take much more time and manpower to break out of the encirclement or dig the tunnel from this side than from other directions, and there was also the danger of being pursued.

With the geographical location of the southern metropolis, apart from moving to the central region of China, there was only one way to survive, and that was to move to the mountainous region of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest.

However, the Yunnan-Guizhou region was a paradise for insects, especially the Southern Cloud region, where all kinds of insects were abundant.

Before the apocalypse, the bug feast there was very famous, but who knew what those bugs had become after the invasion of the Dark Ability?

In the current context, who was eating who was humans and insects?

Or perhaps, everyone was hunting for food.

However, Zhang Tianze had no other choice but to take this path. He hadn’t made a decision before because of the dilemma between Central China and the southwest.

However, in just a few days, the outer city had been destroyed. He had personally seen the corpses in Central China. If he didn’t make a decision, it would probably be too late.

Eventually, Zhang Tianze gave the order last night to all the Earth element evolvers in the Southern Military Region to start digging tunnels in the southwestern Yunnan-Guizhou region.

In the inner city of Nandu, inside the Baiyun Clothing Factory, there was a huge factory building.

The Heavenly Rock Eagle Group, a rank 100 Fourth Evolution, surrounded this place completely. No one was allowed to break into it.

As for the other two groups, the Bear Group and the Ape Group, they were already led by the deputy team, along with the Dark Tribe’s Dark Flash and Hidden Flash. They went out to gather personnel, intelligence, and relics.

Inside the factory building, Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Ling Wanyao, and Zhou Le were sitting on a workbench, as if they were discussing something.

Zhou Xin said first, “The timing for us to enter is mixed. The outer city wall has been broken and the personnel have gathered. They should be able to smoothly enter.”

“But because the outer city wall is broken, the chaos in the inner city also makes it harder for them to find someone.”

Ling Wanyao said seriously, “Yeah, I wonder how they’re looking.”

Qiangzi buzzed, “I was thinking, the Corpse King chasing us? Zhou Xin, do you think she knows us?”

“It shouldn’t be possible for us to know each other,” Zhou Xin said thoughtfully. “Because we have never met that Corpse King before.”

“However, looking at the way she chased us, I suspect that she didn’t know any of us, but recognized Mo Yi.”

“You must know that this Blood Eye Corpse King has suffered a loss at the hands of Boss and Mo Yi. This guy is obviously vengeful. He probably thinks of us as the boss.”

Wang Yang nodded and said, “That’s right, Zhou Xin’s guess should be correct.”

“Brother Qiangzi, why are we discussing this now? We have already entered,” said Zhou Le.

“No matter what, this inner city is still a steel city wall. It shouldn’t collapse so easily, right?”

“When we leave, just activate Earth Mode and dive further away.”

Qiangzi spread out his hands and said, “I didn’t say I wanted to discuss it. I just wanted to have a fight with her.”

Zhou Xin smiled faintly. Just as he was about to say that Qiangzi was bellicose, Ling Wanyao and Zhou Le’s communication rang out with a male voice.

“Team Leader, Vice Team Leader, there are military evolvers coming towards us. There are quite a few of them.”

Everyone immediately stopped discussing. Zhou Xin said, “Go take a look!”

Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Ling Wanyao, and Zhou Le quickly stood up and walked towards the door of the factory.

Outside the factory building, there were already two groups of people confronting each other. Of course, one of them was Zhou Xin and the others from the Heavenly Rock Eagle Group.

The ten squad leaders were standing at the front, their swords and sabers unsheathed. They were ready to charge at any moment. The people from the military were also loaded with guns and holding the trigger in their hands, ready to fire at any moment.

Xiong Junqi was a little depressed today. The transfer order had been issued. It was actually directed towards Nan Yun, not towards Nan Hu.

Xiong Junqi was from the South Lake. He did not want to go to Nanyun. His parents and family were both in the South Lake. Although their chances of survival were slim, Xiong Junqi stubbornly wanted to go back.

The current zombie siege was bad news for the Nandu Military Region, but it was a blessing and an opportunity for most of the south.

The reason for that was because the Corpse King had summoned a large number of zombies. Some small cities and even small villages had already been cleared.

This made Xiong Junqi even more eager to go back and take a look. He was a major officer of the Southern Military Region, and he knew some information.

He knew that there was another base in City C, Lushan. He knew that City C also had the power of Rock King Zhu Yifan.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that he had left work for a while, he brought dozens of trusted aides and wanted to find a quiet place to discuss this matter.

However, he didn’t expect that with great difficulty, he would be able to find such a factory in this desolate suburb and actually jump out a hundred or four steps.

Xiong Junqi was almost frightened to death. However, out of duty, they were not the leaders, and the leaders would arrive immediately.

Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Ling Wanyao, and Zhou Le walked over, scaring Xiong Junqi again.

The auras on these five people were so heavy that he didn’t dare to move. The leading man glanced at them.

Everyone felt as if they had been scratched by a steel knife. Their backs turned cold and they quickly and consciously put down their lightning assault rifles.

That person’s gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through them in an instant. It also let them know clearly that the fellow in their hands could not do anything to the other party.

He had a huge bow on his back, a broadsword hanging on his left waist, and an arrow pot hanging on his right.

Beside him stood two men and two women. One of the two men on his left had a square head and big ears. He was tall and strong, with two long weapons on his back.

Beside the tall and sturdy man was a fair-skinned, round-faced young man with a wide blade hanging from his waist. His body also emitted an extremely sharp aura.

On the right of the giant bow man, there were two women. One of them had a pretty face and a large horizontal saber on his back. His body emitted an extremely blazing aura.

The last woman, it could be said, was still a young girl. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old and also had a broadsword on her back.

Although her aura was slightly weaker than the top four, it was already at the fourth level.

In Zhou Xin’s eyes, Xiong Junqi and the others were much more ordinary. A team of fifty evolvers had mixed results.

The leader was a slightly dark-skinned young man. Fang Zheng’s military face was about twenty to fourteen years old. His evolver level was Third Grade, and his talent seemed to be quite good.

Zhou Xin sensed the aura of Earth Element Evolution from him. This surprised Zhou Xin. At this time, Earth Element Evolution Realm cultivators, regardless of their positions, should be busy in the tunnels, opening up a path of life for everyone in the Southern Military Region?

Could it be that I run into a bunch of deserters?

Zhou Xin raised his hand and pressed down. The members of the Heavenly Stone Hawk Group instantly sheathed their swords.

Zhou Xin said, “What’s your name? As an Earth Element Evolver, should you be in the tunnel at this time?”

Although Xiong Junqi was impressed by his opponent’s strength, he still said seriously, “This is a secret matter of the Southern Military Region. It’s not something you should ask. You should return to my question first. Who are you and who are you from?”

Zhou Xin did not conceal anything. He said frankly, “Zhou Xin, a subordinate of the Rock King, is working here with the Heavenly Rock Eagle Group. No matter what you have to do, find another place.”

Xiong Junqi’s heart skipped a beat. He said happily, “You said that you are under the command of the Rock King. You are talking about the Rock King of C City, Zhu Yifan.”

Looking at his appearance, Zhou Xin was quite happy. Could it be that he was Brother Fan’s former friend?

Or perhaps, a familiar person?

However, Zhou Xin said calmly, “Of course, other than City C, is there a Rock King anywhere else? Do you know the Rock King himself?”

Xiong Junqi said joyfully, “Haha, I didn’t expect that I, Xiong Junqi, would have such good luck.”

Behind Xiong Junqi, there were several people with happy faces. Obviously, they should also be from the South Lake, or even City C, because they were supposed to be serving in the Southern Military Region before the end of the world.

Xiong Junqi’s sigh and their expressions made Zhou Xinda clear about the situation.

Next, it was much simpler. Zhou Xin used a few sentences from C City dialect to confirm that the other party was from C City.

After that, it became even simpler. Xiong Junqi was invited into the factory, and the two of them began to chat. Furthermore, they quickly formed a cooperative relationship.

It turned out that Xiong Junqi actually wanted to go back to City C to look for his parents’ blood relatives.

Xiong Junqi activated his network in the Southern Military Region to help Zhou Xin and the others find someone.

Zhou Xin agreed to bring Xiong Junqi and his trusted aides with him when he left.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement. This was a win-win situation. With this Xiong Junqi, Zhou Xin, and the others’ rescue operation, it would be even smoother.
