As the Fifth-Order Zombie died, despite the fact that there were still hundreds of thousands of zombies within Future City, everyone saw the light of victory.
Chen Gang even took out a bottle of red wine from his personal space, suggesting they celebrate on the spot, but was politely declined by the others.
"Don't think we don't know, it was Zhuge who was coordinating things in Future City most of the time. You want to get us drunk and take advantage of your numbers to seize the spoils of war?"
The Fifth-Order Zombie was dead, and the White Robes would also need to leave soon. They still needed him to oversee and command the battlefield.
Moreover, without the threat of the Fifth-Order Zombie, their main forces could now join the battle.
Chen Gang felt the same way. Since none of them would let him get them drunk, then they would have to compete in efficiency.
"My Future City has tens of thousands of people. Are you afraid of us?"
But just as Chen Gang was about to leave, he suddenly recognized a familiar face.
"Isn't this kid one of the major squad leaders from my Future City? I remember I had high hopes for him, what is he doing here?"
"Group Leader Xiao, don't you owe me an explanation for this?"
"Oh, that? It was an accident. They were scattered by the zombies. If he hadn't revealed he was from Future City, I wouldn't have taken them in."
"..."
"You over there, the one from Future City, take your people and go back with your city lord. Don't cause any trouble here."
Chen Gang had nothing to say, only making a mental note of Guo Yu. He was clearly one of Xiao Jun's men, and he would have to find a way to make him leave later.
"You two, didn't you forget something? The Mutated Crystals?"
Seeing the two about to leave, Xiao Jun immediately stopped them. No need for words, they couldn't just leave without paying up.
The two looked at each other sheepishly and smiled, still keeping their promise to hand over the money.
"Li Jingyin, prepare for the counterattack."
As soon as the two left, Xiao Jun immediately shouted out.
Lone Wolf also came out at this time.
"Group Leader Xiao, I'll be leaving too."
Lone Wolf, seeing that the zombie battle was nearing its end, also needed to go and take care of his territory.
He had just heard that the spoils of war belonged to whoever's territory it was.
However, his force of around a hundred thousand had probably been reduced to just a few by now.
"We'll have many opportunities to do business together. I look forward to our next deal, Group Leader Lone Wolf."
Lone Wolf didn't even want to acknowledge him. This was no business deal - it was clearly Lone Wolf working for him.
Lone Wolf left, and the zombie battle had now entered its final mop-up stage.
Inside Future City, cheers of joy from humans could be heard everywhere, celebrating their survival.
After the cheers came a wave of wailing.
The death toll was simply too high - comrades, companions, loved ones. Even Xiao Jun's team was no exception.
The Gale Gang and Tiger Leopard Gang, having lost over half of their six hundred thousand troops, had only around two hundred thousand survivors left.
As for Xiao Jun's team of ladies, over two hundred had died - the exact number had yet to be tallied.
Keep in mind, these were over two hundred Third Order Mutants, which would be considered the elite of Lone Wolf's entire force.
Although it was said to be the final mop-up operation, the battle still lasted over two hours.
It wasn't until around 5 AM that this zombie attack on Future City finally drew to a close.
"Arrange people immediately to start collecting the Mutated Crystals. They've probably already started on their end."
Xiao Jun called Jiang Yue over, with the leaders of the fat and thin gangs also present.
"Remember, prioritize the ones outside first. The ones within our territory are mine. You two have no objections, right?"
What objections could the fat and thin guys have? They couldn't beat Xiao Jun in a fight anyway, so being able to get a share was good enough.
Despite having fought through the night, everyone was still brimming with energy. Surviving was the greatest happiness.
Under Jiang Yue's arrangements, they split into over a dozen teams and spread out across every corner of Future City to start picking up the Mutated Crystals.
That's right, picking them up.
Especially in the outermost layer where the zombies had been burned to ashes, leaving only the Mutated Crystals behind.
It wasn't until 7 AM that all the teams returned one by one. The team leaders tallied the headcounts, handed over the spoils of war, and Jiang Yue and the little lady began their busy work again.
At 9 AM, the cracks in the sky had disappeared, the zombies were gone, and the supply drops had also ceased.
At 9:10 AM, the entire Future City fell silent, as the survivors who had battled through the night could finally get some well-deserved rest.
Even Xiao Jun fell into a deep sleep.
Which lasted until 7 PM that evening.
Life returned to Future City once more.
"Jiang Yue, give everyone a self-heating hotpot, make sure they have plenty of spicy snacks, snacks, and drinks. Those who want to drink can indulge tonight as well."
At the center of their territory, all the female team members had gathered.
When Xiao Jun said this, a chorus of cheers erupted.
Soon, the scene descended into a raucous party atmosphere.
Especially after some alcohol was consumed, the ladies really let loose.
Since most of them were college students handpicked by Jiang Yue, being able to sing and dance was a basic requirement.
When one Miss danced a fiery number, the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
The surrounding men from the other two gangs had formed a dense crowd, watching intently with relish.
"This girl, that waist, those legs, tsk tsk tsk."
"Be careful, you want to die? You dare comment on these women? Be content with feasting your eyes, don't say anything reckless."
"I'm so envious of Group Leader Xiao."
"I'm more envious of the food and drinks they have. I can't even remember the last time I had alcohol."
Although everyone was abuzz with chatter, not a single person dared approach them. They had battled zombies together for days - when these ladies fought, it wasn't like this.
Xiao Jun had also drunk a bit today, finally able to shake off the unease weighing on his mind and properly relax.
"How's that? Did you enjoy the dancing?" Jiang Yue walked over with a glass of red wine.
Perhaps it was from drinking quite a bit, her cheeks were flushed with a light reddish glow, exuding an alluring charm.
"Not bad."
Xiao Jun answered honestly.
Did he even need to ask? Just look at the atmosphere.
"Humph, just you wait."
A woman's competitive spirit was not to be trifled with.
Before the previous dancer could even exit, Jiang Yue strode to the center.
"Qian Ya, Jingyin."
This was the first time Xiao Jun had seen them dance.
Jiang Yue's elegant grace, Wan Qianya's sensual allure, even the warrior goddess Li Jingyin - when she danced, there was no trace of that side to her.
Head spinning, unsure if it was from the alcohol or the dancing.
After their trio finished, the twin sisters also joined in on the fun.
Although they weren't dance majors, their identical appearances and perfectly synchronized moves drew a chorus of wolf whistles.
The gala lasted well into the night.
Jiang Yue, as the great housekeeper, had long since been gotten drunk and was carried off to bed by the equally inebriated little lady.
Li Jingyin and Wan Qianya leaned on each other, laughing through tears.
The twin sisters were nowhere to be seen, likely having retreated upstairs already.
Xiao Jun shook his head groggily and stumbled upstairs.
In the living room, Doctor and Doctor were enjoying some drinks when they saw Xiao Jun enter and hurried over to support him.
"I'm fine, you two have fun."
Xiao Jun waved them off, drawing surprised looks as he turned and entered one of the rooms.
"That... wasn't that Jing Ru and Jing Yi's room Group Leader went into?"
"It... seems he went into the wrong room... should we call him out?"
"Nah, it'll happen sooner or later anyway. Let's keep chatting!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
