Yue Zhong had just activated his skills, when the Type 3 Nether Beast’s horn started glowing and it opened its mouth, as an array of mysterious circles were spat out, shooting towards Yue Zhong.
At that instant, the strange array enveloped Yue Zhong and Chen Yao who had just arrived in front of him.
In a huge flash, Yue Zhong and Chen Yao disappeared.
The Nether Beast then proceeded to fly atop the canopy, opening its huge mouth, and swallowed every single green fruit. After absorbing the 63 green fruits one by one, it flew unhurriedly towards the distance.
The huge Snake Birth Fruit tree had been surrounded by cameras, and the scene of Yue Zhong and Chen Yao disappearing after the Nether Beast swallowed them had been captured on the screens.
The entire Mechanized Infantry Brigade was activated and the soldiers piloted 4 anti-aircraft guns out and started firing wildly into the skies at the Nether Beast.
However, the speed of the Nether Beast was too fast, and in a few moments, it had travelled far into the horizon.
Soon the news of Yue Zhong’s disappearance had travelled to the upper echelons of Yue Zhong’s party, and their hearts were shaken.
Chi Yang swiftly recalled all the high ranking officials of both the government and military, and conducted a serious meeting.
“Yue Zhong has gone missing!” The moment they arrived, Chi Yang spoke with a grim face.
Hearing that news, everyone’s expression was that of shock, all of their hearts shaken. If Yue Zhong was around, no one dared to start anything funny, but with his disappearance, it would be hard to control this bunch of mavericks.
Da Gouzi was the first one to speak out: “Commander Yue will be fine!! He’s so strong, his disappearance this time would not be an issue as well. If anyone dares to betray Commander Yue! I, Da Gouzi, will be the first to deal with him!”
As one of the first few loyal supporters of Yue Zhong, Da Gouzi’s achievements had all been a result of Yue Zhong’s efforts. He was fiercely loyal and believed in him, he did not want the strongholds Yue Zhong established to be snatched away like that.
Kong Tianyu also piped in with a grim face, looking all around and said fiercely: “Who dares to betray Commander Yue? I will be the first to kill him!”
Wu Guang also spoke out coldly: “Our 1st Division will only listen to Commander Yue!! If anyone dares to betray Commander Yue, our 1st Division will definitely not let the person go!!”
“Don’t worry, no one has that intention!!” Chi Yang frowned, as he spoke out softly: “I have gathered you all to inform you, at the same time, hope you guys can maintain your calm. I believe Yue Zhong will be fine, and he will be back just like previously. We just need to get on with our matters as always, and wait for his return.”
Hearing Chi Yang’s words, everyone present relaxed. As long as there was no rebellion, everything was fine. It was not like it was the first time Yue Zhong had disappeared, and they believed that Yue Zhong would create miracles, and come back again.
Chi Yang spoke out extremely calmly: “Before Yue Zhong left, he did discuss with me about the next target, which would be Lei Jiang City!! Our next target shall be to conquer Lei Jiang City. Before we set off to do that, we need to make sure that the surrounding villages around Long Hai City are cleared of zombies…”
Under Chi Yang’s calm and reassuring demeanor, the entire room was affected, and soon the shock and anxiety from Yue Zhong’s disappearance wore off, as they listened to Chi Yang giving out orders.
After the meeting, the generals who held power quickly left, and brought their troops to clear out the zombies surrounding Long Hai City.
Inside the office, a beauty dressed in an OL uniform (OL: Office Lady) walked towards Chi Yang. She was Wang Qian, and she spoke out with undisguised ambition: “Chi Yang!! Yue Zhong has gone missing, it’s your chance now. As long as you act, the entire establishment will be yours. You will become the leader of these 100,000-over survivors. You can act independently and there will be no more need to hide in Yue Zhong’s shadow!”
[Dedition: Last time, I swear. I’ve always been waiting for someone to try to usurp his power.]
Wang Qian had always felt disgruntled with Chi Yang being Yue Zhong’s second-in-command. To her, based on Chi Yang’s abilities, he could become a capable tyrant. However, because of his relationship with Yue Zhong, he would forever be number 2, and she was extremely unhappy about it.
Chi Yang who was shuffling and tidying his documents looked up and stared at Wang Qian with a cold gaze.
When she was looked upon like that by Chi Yang, Wang Qian was shocked as she spoke loudly: “Chi Yang!! I’m thinking for you!! Think about it, Yue Zhong has always been disappearing. It has always been you who held the fort. You have done so much for the establishment. What’s wrong with wanting it for yourself? It’s not like he single-h
