Chapter 46: Whose General Is This?

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Whose General Is This?

If it weren’t for the zombies, Mengde wouldn’t have needed a full half-hour to get here!

The economic development zone where Yulong Island was located was called the Yulong Economic Development Zone!

It was a joint development project between East Sea City and a neighboring city.

The Yulong Economic Development Zone had comprehensive infrastructure, boasting everything you would find in downtown East Sea City.

You could basically consider it a miniature city center.

The only real difference was that the population here wasn’t as dense as downtown.

Correspondingly, the number of wandering zombies was also relatively smaller.

It was just as Da Mimi and Cheng Ying had described.

A long, straight avenue was lined with businesses on both sides.

This included quite a few large shopping malls.

Although they had long since been picked clean, you could tell the area must have been bustling before the apocalypse.

Mengde, having just received some "specialized services" from Sister Bai, strolled comfortably out of the room.

As Sister Bai’s Affinity for him increased, she had become more and more proficient at this particular "task."

And in turn, Mengde was more and more satisfied.

The other women were used to it by now.

’When has this guy ever pulled one of us into a room for anything wholesome?’

They weren’t fooled; they had understood the words he had whispered into Sister Bai’s ear earlier.

’Half an hour was actually pretty quick!’

Yulong Island wasn’t far now. They reached the end of the main street.

A large bridge came into view.

The bridge wasn’t very long, only a few dozen meters.

Below the bridge was the sparkling Yulong Bay, glistening under the glow of the setting sun.

In the distance, an island stood silently beyond a golden beach.

On the island, villas of various styles were scattered in a picturesque arrangement.

Behind them stood a large mountain shaped like a sleeping dragon.

Facing the sea with a green mountain at its back, the scenery was so beautiful it was like a paradise, stirring a sense of longing in one’s heart.

It was truly worthy of its pre-apocalypse title as a 5A-level resort island.

No wonder that even after being developed into a villa district, only the wealthiest could afford to buy property here.

Cheng Ying and the other women were getting impatient.

"Honey, hurry up!"

The RV drove onward, a warm sea breeze washing over them.

Mengde was in an excellent mood, his hand resting on a certain plush softness.

But his pleasant mood was soon shattered.

The RV came to a stop in the middle of the bridge.

Not because he wanted to stop.

But because five or six security guards were up ahead, fighting zombies with whatever weapons they had.

The guards’ weapons were laughably crude.

Forget handguns, they didn’t even have a single knife between them—just iron rods.

Yet they were facing more than thirty zombies.

Surrounded by the horde, the guards were on the verge of being overrun.

"Jiayi, you all wait in the RV. I’m going to get out and take a look."

After giving the women his instructions, Mengde exited the vehicle.

But as soon as he stepped out, one of the guards shouted at him anxiously.

"Don’t come over here!"

"Run! There are zombie monsters here!"

Mengde smiled faintly.

’This guard is kind of interesting.’

’He can barely save himself, yet he’s still trying to protect me?!’

Seeing Mengde continue to walk unhurriedly toward them, the guard who had shouted before grew frantic.

"It’s dangerous here, get out of here!!!"

Distracted for a second, he was nearly hit by a zombie!

Although he dodged it, he found himself trapped, surrounded by five or six zombies snapping at him...

HHHHH!!!

The security guard, Zhao Tiezhu, felt his heart sink.

’It’s over!’

Just as he gave in to despair, he saw the young man who had been walking toward him teleport in an instant and pull him right out of the zombie pile.

Before he could even react, he saw more than ten knives whistle through the air.

They traced a graceful arc in the air.

Then they weaved back and forth through the crowd of zombies.

Even with his background as a special forces soldier, he couldn’t track the knives’ flight paths.

In no more than half a minute, the zombie monsters that he and his fellow guards had been fighting for their lives to hold back all collapsed.

The zombies’ heads tumbled from their shoulders.

HISS!

Zhao Tiezhu was stunned!

"Holy shit... Fucking awesome!!!"

Given his level of eloquence, that was the first thing that came to mind.

It wasn’t just him; the other guards were just as shocked.

"Holy shit! I thought my squad leader, Lü Bu, was already invincible, but I didn’t expect someone to be even fiercer than him!"

"I don’t know, man, I feel like he’s even stronger than our old special forces instructor, Thunder God!"

"Bullshit! Thunder God would be a total rookie in front of this guy!"

"You’re full of shit! Thunder God is the God of War of our Red Blood Cell Special Forces!"

"..."

Their few sentences were enough for Mengde to understand the identities of these guards.

They were all security for the Yulong Resort Island villa district and former special forces soldiers.

It made sense. As the most exclusive resort island villa community in Hua Country...

...how could it not have commensurate security measures?

Zhao Tiezhu was the captain of this villa district’s security team.

Mengde checked the system information for these men.

He found that only the more powerfully built Zhao Tiezhu had awakened a Superpower.

It was an Enhancement System Superpower, a defensive type.

No wonder that, despite only having a Tier One Superpower, he was able to hold out for so long against more than thirty zombies.

After all, there had been a Tier One Zombie that had awakened a Superpower in that horde!

And when he asked why the guards were out here...

"We were driven out by Young Master Wang..."

Zhao Tiezhu said with a simple-hearted smile.

From them, Mengde learned that two days before his arrival...

...Young Master Wang, also known as Principal Wang whom Mengde knew well, had already brought his people to the island.

With his firearms and over ten Superpower Users under his command, he had already seized control of the resort island.

Mengde and his group had arrived late.

Now, Principal Wang was systematically eliminating people on the island and frantically seizing all its resources.

It seemed he was in the process of making himself the Emperor of Yulong Resort Island.

Zhao Tiezhu and his guards had been driven out simply because they couldn’t stand Principal Wang’s actions and had spoken out against them.

To be more precise, they had been hunted down and had no choice but to flee.

The other guards who didn’t escape were either dead or had surrendered.

Zhao Tiezhu and his men were filled with righteous indignation as they spoke of it.

After all, watching your comrades die in front of you was a terrible feeling.

Out of gratitude for saving their lives, when Mengde explained his purpose for coming here...

...Zhao Tiezhu and his men all insisted on going back with Mengde.

’These guys are all retired special forces soldiers...’

’If they were equipped with firearms... their combat effectiveness would be pretty decent.’

However, Mengde certainly wasn’t going to give them weapons right now.

’You can know a person’s face, but not their heart.’

It was always right to be cautious in the apocalypse.

With Zhao Tiezhu and his men leading the way, Mengde’s group soon set foot on Yulong Island.

Perhaps Zhao Tiezhu and the others hadn’t noticed, but Mengde let out a cold sneer.

Because in his Telekinesis Perception, someone was staring in their direction through a pair of binoculars.

Next to him was a pair of snowy-white "lanterns," and a live "show" was currently in progress...

...
