The Serpent

The third day after the great battle.

After instructing the Fat and thin Group leader, Xiao Jun finally left Future City with the ladies.

Due to the bridge being blown up, they had to take another route this time, passing through the territory of the Lone Wolf Group.

When Lone Wolf learned that Xiao Jun brought nearly a thousand Ladies Army into his territory, he hastily put his pants back on.

"Wow, this Killer God has come? And he brought so many people, is he looking to start a fight?"

Although Lone Wolf was extremely reluctant, he still mustered the courage to come out.

"Brother Xiao, what wind blew you here today?"

When Lone Wolf came out, he was fully armed and had called over all members of the Lone Wolf Group above the Third Order Mutant rank.

To those unaware, it seemed like a major event was about to occur, but it was only Xiao Jun borrowing a passage.

Xiao Jun walked through the Lone Wolf Group's territory as if it were his own home, strolling around and occasionally giving orders.

"This won't do, the construction is too slow, just this little progress after three days?"

"That one, yes, that signboard, it's hung too low, you need to raise it higher to properly showcase the Lone Wolf Group's might."

The Lone Wolf Group's high-ranking members accompanying Xiao Jun had sweat constantly dripping from their faces.

Not to mention this was a Killer God, but look at those thousand ladies behind him, each one a Killer Goddess.

Oh, except for those twin sisters, they were rumored to be vases.

Only Jing Ru was unaware of this man's thoughts, otherwise she would have had to fight him to the death.

After all, I'm a Third Order Mutant, and a minor leader in the Lone Wolf Group.

"Did you all remember what my brother said earlier? Go and make those changes."

Lone Wolf stood by with a smile, constantly wondering what Xiao Jun's purpose was for coming today.

After that great battle, the Lone Wolf Group's numbers had dwindled to less than thirty thousand, about the same as Xiao Jun's two subsidiary groups combined. Yet those were merely Xiao Jun's auxiliary teams.

So these past few days, Lone Wolf hadn't rushed out to seize resources, but instead was madly recruiting people.

Unfortunately, the poor impression he left on everyone from the last great battle made recruiting extremely difficult.

It was only because he still had ample resources that people hadn't deserted him yet.

"Alright, that's enough for today, I'll take another look next time."

After enduring for long enough, Xiao Jun finally said those words.

No matter how you listened to it, it sounded off, as if the Lone Wolf Group was also his subordinate territory.

But Lone Wolf no longer had the mind to dwell on those words, as encountering Xiao Jun never brought anything good. As long as he left, nothing else mattered.

"Oh right, I plan to go outside the city for a look. The bridge on my side was blown up by me, so I plan to go through your side, no problem right?"

"Of course not."

Lone Wolf hurriedly shook his head. Not to mention just borrowing the passage, he wouldn't mind trading territories.

These routes were originally open for everyone to pass through anyway. It was only because Xiao Jun brought so many people that he mentioned it, as he didn't want to actually fight.

Only after Xiao Jun left did Lone Wolf finally feel relieved.

It was just, what was that Killer God going outside the city for?

And he seemed to have brought along all the ladies from his group, even the newly recruited ones.

Lone Wolf was quite perplexed.

With so many resources left uncollected inside the city, was there really a need to venture out now?

By his side, a young man was also pondering what Xiao Jun's intentions might be.

But no matter how much they racked their brains, they would not be able to figure it out.

...

Outside the city.

Everything was just as Jiang Yue had said - at a glance there was no sign of human life or zombies.

"Brother Jun, what are we going to do?"

After leaving the city, everyone felt a bit lost, unsure of their next step, and could only look to the sole man in their group.

"Find a large open area, preferably with no other buildings around, and far away from Star City."

Since they needed to be far away from Star City, there was no need to overthink it, they just had to keep walking forward.

Many of the ladies had never left the city since the apocalypse began.

Every day they faced those wolf-like people and countless zombies in the city, enough to make one vomit.

Suddenly coming out here and seeing these pastoral sceneries lifted their spirits considerably, even dispelling any lingering fear of the unknown outside world.

The group had only been walking for about twenty minutes when the ladies at the front suddenly became flustered.

Immediately after came a series of shrill screams.

Wan Qianya was the first to react, instantly running to the front of the group. But in the next second, she ran even faster back to the group.

"Brother Jun! Brother Jun! Help, it's such a huge snake!"

Xiao Jun, who had been solemn and prepared to act at any moment, nearly burst out laughing.

So this was Future City's top female assassin? At this moment, she was no different from any young girl.

Xiao Jun now understood the source of the commotion at the front.

No matter if facing zombies, these ladies could remain calm and composed.

But when encountering this kind of long, soft creature, their innate female fear instinct emerged.

In this moment, they were not female war gods or female killers, just a group of young girls.

"Everyone make way, I'll handle this."

Xiao Jun called out with a smile.

He wasn't mocking them, but rather smiling from the heart.

Wild animals had finally appeared - they could have an extra course tonight.

Come to think of it, it had been so long since they last had fresh meat.

Upon seeing Xiao Jun, all the ladies retreated, and finally Xiao Jun saw the culprit.

A massive snake over three meters long. Judging from its size and length, it must have weighed at least eight or nine pounds.

Xiao Jun's mouth was already watering at the sight.

The giant snake's mouth was also watering.

So much food, each one with more energy than the last, it was perfect.

But it only entertained that thought for a moment. The next second, Xiao Jun charged at it with a steel blade in hand.

Though the giant snake was large, and lacked legs, its movements were not slow at all.

Seeing Xiao Jun approach, it immediately prepared to use its ultimate move, the Death Coil.

But with an agile footwork, Xiao Jun easily dodged the attack.

Heh heh, bring it on.

Xiao Jun's right leg suddenly burst with force, his speed even faster than before, catching the giant snake completely off guard.

Before it could unleash its most potent venom attack, Xiao Jun had already severed its head with one swing of his blade.

No need for that "hit a snake seven inches from the head" saying, just chop off the head and it's done.

The ferocious snake head fell to the ground, scattering the nearby ladies in a frenzy.

The snake's life force was still quite strong - even without its head, its body continued thrashing about restlessly.

It lasted like that for nearly ten seconds before finally dying completely.

"Instead of standing around dazed, hurry up and clean this up. It's a good catch, if you don't want it I'll eat it myself."

A few of the braver ladies cautiously approached with steel blades, poking at the giant snake's corpse, afraid it might suddenly move again.

"Its head is gone, what are you all still testing for? Quickly gather it up, we'll make snake soup tonight."

"Brother Jun, is this not venomous? Can we really eat it?"

One of the ladies curiously asked.

She was looking forward to the snake soup, but wouldn't they be poisoned to death?

"Rest assured, all wild animals are edible."

"Even if this were an extremely venomous viper, once dead, the toxicity immediately dissipates. The residual amount wouldn't even affect a First Order Mutant."

Hearing Xiao Jun's definitive statement, many had their eyes light up.

So there would be meat to eat tonight?
