Poliyaeva responded, "This is one of the Treasures of Hope, Sealing Mirror. With 9 Mutant Beast nuclei placed on the altar, it could cause the abilities of experts within the range of 30 li to be sealed, leaving behind only the flesh strength. The time to prepare it is 5 minutes. The higher the quality of the Mutant Beast nuclei, the higher the level of the experts sealed. Type 5 nuclei could seal experts of the Type 6 realm and below. Type 6 nuclei could seal experts of the Type 7 realm and below. The limit is the Type 9 realm.
Yue Zhong looked at the Sealing Mirror and frowned, "A Treasure of Hope? While it seems powerful, to the human race, it's barely useful."
The physique of the human race was weaker than the foreign races. By sealing the skills and abilities of the enemy as well as ally forces, in terms of flesh bodies, unless everyone had Yue Zhong's physique, it was just a bad move to the rest of the humanity.
Yue Zhong asked, "How do I take it down?"
Poliyaeva replied, "Just take it down from the altar."
Yue Zhong walked up to the altar, and reached out with his hand to retrieve the Sealing Mirror.
The moment the blue Sealing Mirror was retrieved, the light went out from the altar.
"The sealing effects have disappeared." At the moment the blue radiance went out, Yue Zhong could sense the sealing effects on his abilities disappear, causing his body to feel even more relaxed. With a thought, a light gold flame burned brightly from his hands.
Yue Zhong then kept the 9 Type 5 Mutant Beast nuclei into his Storage Ring.
Type 5 Nuclei were precious resources to Yue Zhong.
Producing Reapers, Puppet Runes, and the energy source for the Storm Battleship all required huge numbers of Type 5 nuclei, if it wasn't for Yue Zhong raiding the Cloud Region's treasury, he would not have been able to produce so many Type 5 Puppet Runes without consideration.
Yue Zhong then swept a look towards Jiang Sheng and Gui Can, "Let's go, time to gather the zombie army."
Jiang Sheng and Gui Can replied with respect, "Yes! Master!"
The moment they left the valley, Gui Can opened his mouth, sending out his command in all directions.
Jiang Sheng flapped his flesh wings, soaring into the skies, sending out his own signal in all directions.
When the Z-Types within the horde felt the brainwaves from their respective commanders, they could sense the threat from the high-level evolved zombies, and quickly aligned their own brain waves to Jiang Sheng and Gui Can, becoming their subordinates.
Yue Zhong let out the Scarlet Reaper, combining with the Heart of Hope, and soared into the skies once more.
Even after Yue Zhong had stepped into the Type 6 realm, the Scarlet Reaper was incredibly useful to Yue Zhong. After all, he could not single handedly take out a hundred thousand zombies by himself.
Within the zombie horde, there was still one more Type 5 Liu Xiong. Before he took him out, he could not relax.
Even after so many zombies had been slaughtered by Yue Zhong, there were still over 8 million of them. Such a number was enough to wipe out Yue Zhong's forces in the small county.
Along the way, Yue Zhong continued to keep a lookout, when suddenly, he realized that over at the west side, a million zombies had broken up and split into a hundred different groups, running in different directions.
Yue Zhong saw that and frowned, "Crafty fellow!!"
Yue Zhong released his wings, as countless laser beams rained upon the fleeing zombie horde.
Amidst the rain of laser, countless zombies fell down dead.
In a short 5 minutes, over 400,000 low-level zombies were obliterated.
The Scarlet Reaper then kept its wings, and the rain of laser beams stopped.
Yue Zhong swept the 70 hordes with a look of pity and did not chase. He had to reserve some strength in the Scarlet Reaper to deal with something unexpected. Furthermore, finding a Type 5 evolved zombie within the horde of 700,000 was incredibly difficult.
As long as Liu Xiong did not issue any orders within the horde, even Gui Can and Jiang Sheng could not discover his presence.
Liu Xiong fled pathetically, while the remaining 7 million zombies were quickly controlled by Jiang Sheng and Gui Can.
Once they were brought under control, Yue Zhong got Jiang Sheng and Gui Can to command them to attack Hebei.
This time, his intention was to wipe out as many obstructions as he could so that it would be easier for future battles.
After all, even he did not have the confidence of success. He might have become a Type 6 expert, but he was only at the initial realm. Who knew how many Type 6 freaks were still alive in the 2nd World. He did not have any confidence of dealing with them.
Furthermore, there was still the Type 7 Emperor Ba Long in the 3rd World. Once they descended upon Earth, it would be the nightmare of the human race.
Having reached the Type 6 realm, Yue Zhong was even clearer about the terror of high-level experts.
Had there not been the Xue Luo Forts, the Storm Battleship, or even the high-tech defenses of the Capital in the 3rd World, the human race could not possibly hope to defend against a Type 7 expert.
If Emperor Ba Long was to descend upon Earth now, with his strength alone, he could wipe out all resistance whatsoever, and launch a massacre. Nuclear weapons might only possibly threaten it.
At Hebei, where mountains covered 3 of its sides, and it was even surrounded by a river, the city wall had reached 9m. A 30-year-old man, Shangguan Qing Cheng was staring out at the horde of zombies currently clashing with his soldiers.
Shangguan Qing Cheng had been an ordinary white-collared worker, going to the gym often, gathering with his friends once in a while, leading a carefree life.
After the world changed, he had taken a private bus to leave the city, experiencing countless betrayal and fighting, coming to close shaves with death. He had finally awakened his ability to control air, and with this ability, he had started to clear villages of zombies, gathering survivors. He fought hard and continuously, finally establishing a survivor base of 8,000 people.
Inside this base, 7,000 of them were soldiers. In this cruel world, even women and children had to learn how to fight, otherwise , their outcome would be death.
Before the world ended, Africa and Afghanistan were in chaos, and had many child soldiers. It was the product of chaos. After the world ended, only the Kingdom of God, Yue Zhong's establishments and any other powerful factions which had resources and abilities could allow their children to continue studying.
Even within Yue Zhong's faction, some of the children had accepted some form of military training. After all, they did not know when they might be sent to the battlefield.
One particular man came up to Shangguan Qing Cheng, covered in blood, as he spoke with grief, "Boss Qing Cheng!! The brothers can't hold on much longer!! So many brothers have died!! Deploy the Tiger Panther Riders, please!! Otherwise, we will all die soon!"
Hearing those words, the 80 evolvers beside Shangguan Qing Cheng turned to look at him.
This 80 Evolvers consisting of men and women were the trump cards of Shangguan Qing Cheng, the Tiger Panther Riders. Each of them were survivors unearthed by him, following him through countless battles, and their levels exceeding 60.
Furthermore, everyone of them was loyal to Shangguan Qing Cheng, because he was the only Type 4 expert among their base, and his might terrifying. Only he could take down those high defense L3s and L4s. The rest of them could not do anything to those freaks.
Shangguan Qing Cheng glanced out the wall, looking at those soldiers fighting for their lives, as well as the endless horde beyond the walls. He stood up, and spoke solemnly, "Come with me!"
After that, all 80 Evolvers followed Shangguan Qing Cheng to the battlefield.
Fireballs, wind blades, ground spikes, ice shards, Mutant Plants, Summon Tamed Beasts, all sorts of abilities were cast, causing a large number of zombies to be torn apart.
On the battlefield, a large Mutant Plant coiled around a 4m-tall L4, trying to pierce it with its sharp tendrils, but to no avail.
A number of fireballs and ice shards exploded on the body of the L4, but they could not penetrate the scales of the L4.
As the L4 swung its fists, the huge mutant plant was ripped apart. It then braved the bullets and charged towards the city wall.
All of a sudden, a large air blade sliced out without warning, decapitating the L4, causing blood to splatter everywhere. The headless corpse of the L4 slumped to the ground.
There were sounds of celebration from the city wall.
However, it did not last very long, as they caught sight of another 30 L4s, as well as 3 L5s heading towards the wall. Behind those elite evolved zombies, there were still many other L3s and other Type 3 zombies.
The assault of the horde had just truly begun.
