However, even after they had descended, quite a few people had expended an enormous amount of stamina: Tong Xiaoyun and Xiong Zheng were currently gasping for breath, their bodies covered in sweat. This applied especially to Tong Xiaoyun, who was barely even able to hold on to the Replica Tang Sword; she had reached her limit and she practically had no fighting strength remaining.
The Mutant Pigs that had died at Yue Zhong’s hands already numbered above 150, yet his stamina had only been depleted by 28 points so far, with over 50 points left. His battle ability was still very strong. Zhuo Yatong had also enhanced her stamina by quite a lot and being an Evolver, she had immense strength to. She had already consumed over half of her stamina, although she still had considerable fighting strength.

With Yue Zhong, White Bones and Zhuo Yatong as the main force, the 5 people slowly made their way to the east side of the department store.
Even with the debris blockade, the Mutant Pigs continued to rush into the camp from all directions, with the blockades only able to slow down their advance. Most of the Mutant Pigs had already entered the camp and had spread out in all directions.
Yue Zhong had relied on the huge pits to take down over 1000 Mutant Pigs and in front of the camp gates, he and his team had managed to slaughter another 1000+ of them; however, the total number of pigs reached 11,000 and even after losing over 2,000 of their comrades, the herd still had over 8,000 pigs remaining. When charging across flat ground, such a number of pigs could easily decimate Yue Zhong’s army, which lacked in both training and ammunition.
Yue Zhong’s team of 5 retreated to the east side of the department store and at the same time, the turbulent tide of Mutant Pigs had also caught up.
Right at this moment, the warriors of the First Company started opening fire, raining countless bullets down onto the herd of Mutant Pigs. Flowers of blood blossomed everywhere. Although they had not undergone any rigorous shooting practice or live fire training, at such a close range, they barely had any chance of missing the densely-packed Mutant Pig herd from a safe location. It was just that they were unable to fire any fatal shots that could kill the Mutant Pigs in one attack.
After the warriors of the First Company had joined the battle, the herd of Mutant Pigs that had charged over now seemed to be more organized. The Enhancers of the First Company also leapt into action with their Replica Tang Swords, replacing Tong Xiaoyun and Xiong Zheng.

“Those three really are monsters!!”
After he had retreated, Xiong Zheng thought in his heart as he watched Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong and White Bones constantly killing the Mutant Pigs. Although that brief but intense battle just now had let him rise up to Level 15, as a consequence, it had depleted almost all of his stamina. The pressure on Yue Zhong, Zhuo Yatong and White Bones was the greatest, and they had also killed the most pigs, yet they still continued to defend on the frontline without any intention of retreating.
Once the Enhancers of the First Company had joined the fray, the Mutant Pigs rushing over from the main transport channel were firmly suppressed, and so the pressure on Yue Zhong and the other two was abruptly alleviated by a considerable amount.
Yue Zhong only left White Bones as the main force defending on the frontlines, whilst he and Zhuo Yatong both retreated.
Once Yue Zhong had retreated, he commanded the warriors of the First Company to take turns in battling the Mutant Pigs, while at the same time, he also lent a hand to save the warriors who were in great danger.Those who gained experience through this ordeal were the most valuable warriors to Yue Zhong: as long as they did not die, they would bring courage to the entire First Company.
After an intense fight that lasted 20 minutes, the Mutant Pigs were still unable to advance and were stuck outside of the department store.
However, very quickly, the Mutant Pigs began to appear from the other corners of the camp and they began to charge in a frenzy towards the humans.
Yue Zhong looked at the Mutant Pigs burrowing out from the other corners and his face turned very pale. He called Xiong Zheng over and said loudly,
“Xiong Zheng, take over! Everyone will be at your command! Whatever happens, you must hold on for 5 more minutes!”
Xiong Zheng did not ask too much and responded loudly, “Yes! Boss Yue!!”
Yue Zhong activated his Encompassing Body Armor Skill in a flash and walked up to Zhuo Yatong’s side, saying heavily,
“5 minutes!! Help back me up for another 5 minutes, I’m relying completely on you now!”
Right now, the only expert at Yue Zhong’s side who could act as a pillar of strength was Zhuo Yatong. If there wasn’t a powerful Evolver like her to help defend on the frontline, this new camp established by Yue Zhong would already have many ca
