On one side stood the Guard of the Anfei Safe Zone, a multitude fighting desperately, while on the other side were the members of the Black Clothes Society, led by Wang Chao, whose strength was clearly superior. The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and the ground was already littered with dozens of fallen Guard bodies, while many members of the Black Clothes Society had also sustained injuries.
Yet, more Guard continued to pour in from all directions. There were over a thousand Guard in the Anfei Safe Zone. Just as Liu He had said, even a single spit from each person could drown them all. Wang Chao had lost count of how many he had killed; looking at the others, they also appeared somewhat fatigued. It was no surprise—after all, even if you were chopping watermelons for an hour, your hands would get sore.
Wang Chao had already achieved his goal. First, he wanted to incite conflict between the members of the Black Clothes Society and the Guard, thereby destroying any possibility of an alliance between the Anfei Safe Zone and the Black Clothes Society against the Zhonghu Safety Zone. Secondly, he aimed to make Liu He believe that the Zhonghu Safety Zone and the Black Clothes Society had already joined forces. This would buy enough time until Shen Zhitao could bring his troops.
What Wang Chao desired was this delicate balance: first eliminate the Anfei Safe Zone, then deal with the Black Clothes Society, and finally check out a third Safe Zone. He had heard that this third location was quite far away; it would take at least a week to reach it. Yuan Min had mentioned it briefly, but now was not the time to consider such matters. There were still many tasks to accomplish before heading to that third Safe Zone.
Since his objectives had been met, lingering here was no longer a wise strategy. As he spoke, Wang Chao suddenly activated his Breathing Technique, striking down on Liu He’s shoulder with a powerful blow. With Liu He’s Platinum Tier strength, he was no match for Wang Chao, who was at a lower diamond level combined with the state of his Breathing Technique. Moreover, due to his underestimation of his opponent, it was entirely possible for Wang Chao to kill him in one hit.
However, Wang Chao did not do so. He intended to take Liu He’s life eventually, but now was not the right moment. Until he resolved matters with Aivina, he needed to keep Liu He around as leverage against her. After sending Liu He flying and confirming that he was not in danger, Wang Chao shouted to everyone: “Protect Miss! We’ll retreat together; the Black Clothes Society will cover us!”
With that, he scooped up Aikun'er, kicking one of the nearby Guard away before turning and sprinting toward the main entrance. Following closely behind him was Yuan Min, while the members of the Black Clothes Society provided cover for their retreat. Just as they burst through the door, another group charged out from ahead. The person leading this group was someone whom Wang Chao knew all too well—he was none other than Ouyang En!
“What are you doing here?” Seeing Ouyang En, a mix of excitement and emotion surged through Wang Chao. It had been nearly four years since they last saw each other. After waking up in Yucheng, everyone had vanished; he had been chased by zombies and monsters along his journey until he encountered his old friend, Liu He. They migrated southward until they reached Anfei, where they fought hard against zombies and built walls to establish a safe haven for their people.
“Brother Wang!” The feeling was mutual for Ouyang En. It had been almost four years since he woke up in Yucheng, only to find himself alone. After fleeing from zombies and monsters, he had finally managed to build a safe zone alongside others after much struggle.
“This isn’t a place for conversation!” said Wang Chao. “Let’s talk somewhere safe!”
As they spoke, their pace did not slow down. The members of the Black Clothes Society began their withdrawal as well. After running for about an hour and ensuring no one was pursuing them, they finally stopped. Unable to contain himself any longer, Wang Chao asked: “How did you end up here? And how did you end up with Liu He! You look like you’ve escaped too?”
"Brother Wang, it's a long story!" Ouyang En said. "When we were in Yucheng, we were all bitten by Zombies, but for some reason, I didn't die. At that time, I didn't even know about mutations. When I woke up, I had no idea where the Zombies had dragged me; you all were gone. I waited in Yucheng for a month, but I still couldn't find you or your bodies!"
With a sigh, Ouyang En continued, "Later on, more and more monsters flooded into Yucheng. I had no choice but to head south. After a month of traveling south, I met Liu He, who was also heading in the same direction. He said he had been bitten too. We sympathized with each other and since we already knew each other from before, we decided to travel together to the south."
"At that time, the Anfei Safe Zone hadn't been established yet. We followed a local to kill Zombies and repair the walls. It wasn't until two years later that the Anfei Safe Zone was finally completed. A year ago, we cleared out all the surrounding Zombies and began mining and farming. Everything went smoothly, and that local became the first leader of the Anfei Safe Zone. But just a few months later, a mysterious organization suddenly appeared without any warning!"
"It must be the Black Clothes Society," Wang Chao interjected.
Ouyang En nodded at Wang Chao and said, "At that time, the leader of the Black Clothes Society approached our leader to request cooperation. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that they couldn't reach an agreement. The Black Clothes Society Leader killed our leader on the spot, which led to a long struggle. From then on, the Black Clothes Society made a name for itself without losing a single battle!"
Ouyang En shook his head and continued, "The Anfei Safe Zone was terrified after that incident. So when Liu He took over as leader, he accepted the cooperation arrangement with the Black Clothes Society. Since then, everything seemed peaceful again; the Safe Zone returned to its former tranquility. However, six months ago, Liu He could no longer control his desires. In the Anfei Safe Zone, he acted like a king and did whatever he wanted until one day he defiled a Guard's wife..."
"From that day on, he completely changed as a person. That Guard is one of my subordinates. Because of this incident, I argued with him for a long time and even staged a coup to try to pull him down from his high position, but I failed. As a result, he has kept me imprisoned in the Safe Zone." Ouyang En sighed repeatedly. "By now, he is no longer the person we once knew!"
Hearing this, Wang Chao felt a surge of emotions and said, "But he still hasn't killed you; for that reason alone, I'll let him live."
Ouyang En snorted coldly and replied, "Do you think he hasn't killed me out of nostalgia? It's because I hold a secret he's been dying to know. I've endured torment for six months; only recently has it started to ease!"
