Chapter 351: The Secrets of Huaxia (China)!

Even in times of peace, the ocean’s mystery and power remained beyond human exploration.

Not to mention after the apocalypse, when all creatures had mutated.

This made human exploration of the ocean unprecedentedly difficult.

Even a tiny ant could evolve to possess terrifying strength, capable of consuming iron and stone.

Imagine the powerful sharks and massive whales in the ocean.

If these giants mutated, their strength would be absolutely irresistible to humans.

Most importantly, humans cannot survive underwater.

Their combat effectiveness in such an environment is nearly zero.

So now, people could only prevent ocean creatures from evolving and advancing towards land.

They worried that if one day ocean creatures evolved to live on land.

Then the world’s power dynamics would shift in favor of marine life.

Given China’s current combat strength, using zombies to prevent enemy nations and marine crises was a perfect choice.

...

After some discussion.

It was decided that from Shanghai to Weihai and Rongcheng in the north, down to Quanzhou and Xiamen in the south.

This entire coastal stretch would be designated for zombies as their development zone.

When Xiao Feng heard this news.

He immediately understood their hidden intentions.

However, Xiao Feng didn’t feel angry.

Instead, he laughed happily.

"Smart people outsmarting themselves; you’re practically giving me the ocean’s resources!"

Others dared not venture into the ocean, but Xiao Feng did.

By controlling a tenth-level marine beast, he could start conquering the ocean.

The treasures in there were unimaginable.

Natural treasures formed over thousands or tens of thousands of years, inexhaustible and endless.

This was like stuffing money into his hands, refusing it wasn’t an option.

With permission granted, all survivors in coastal areas began migrating inland.

And zombies started moving towards the coastal regions.

A clear dividing line gradually formed.

At this time, due to the mass deployment of Chinese zombies, countries worldwide felt an unprecedented crisis.

They unanimously believed that China was driving their zombies to launch global attacks.

Upon hearing this, the International Alliance immediately sent representatives to question China.

Over a hundred high-level cultivators from various countries arrived in China.

Leading them was the American Empire.

So far, they had gained over ten high-level cultivators through inherited powers.

These inheritors were called heroes.

Over a hundred high-level cultivators gathered in Chang’an.

Due to the space allocated to zombies, the Kyoto base had moved to Chang’an.

This central location in China allowed better command and control of major bases.

Moreover, with all zombies relocated to coastal areas.

The inland regions felt completely safe.

Highways and railways in major inland cities were gradually reopening.

With effective measures to prevent beast attacks, planes were starting to operate again.

The land was peaceful, and the beautiful vision of peace was about to come true.

At this time, the International Alliance arrived in China to question them.

Of course, they dared not act rashly.

From the moment they crossed into China’s borders, they were already illegally entering.

Countless missiles were aimed at them.

If they dared to make a move, they would face relentless attacks.

Not just hundreds of energy missiles.

Thousands of energy missiles were aimed at them.

Though this would significantly affect China.

The Chinese authorities knew.

Over a hundred high-level cultivators had the power to destroy nations.

So, if you dare to act, we will use all our might to kill you.

China’s might was not to be infringed upon.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng also received a message from the Chinese authorities.

Currently, China still had no second high-level cultivator.

So, they still needed to rely on Xiao Feng’s power when necessary.

Though they had a grandmaster from an ancient sect.

But this grandmaster was just one person.

No matter how skilled, he couldn’t fight over a hundred people.

These were strong individuals from countries allied with the American Empire.

Even if China was powerful, they were now facing dozens of countries.

At this moment, the world’s eyes were on China.

China’s defense chief, Chu Renyun, led over a hundred tenth-level elite special forces soldiers to form a defensive line in front of the International Alliance.

"This is Chinese territory. You have entered without invitation, violating our regulations. Please leave immediately, or we will take action against you."

"Have your top leader come out and speak."

Leading them was a blonde, high-nosed individual from the American Empire.

According to the information, his name was Deron, a high-level cultivator and a super-heroic replacement for Billy in the American Empire.

Deron was even more arrogant and ruthless than Billy, decisive and never hesitant.

It was this personality that earned him favor with Trin.

And all the other high-level cultivators feared this person.

"You are driving the Chinese zombies, causing irreparable consequences for various countries. Now, stop invading other nations immediately and hand over the method of controlling the zombies, or face sanctions from the International Alliance!"

"First, zombies have no nationality. They are not under anyone’s command and have nothing to do with us."

"Second, zombies have evolved intelligence comparable to humans. They have formed their own independent species. Any decisions they make have nothing to do with us."

"We, China, deny any involvement with the zombies’ actions."

"And if you want to trace the source of this issue, you should be looking at your own American Empire. The root cause of the zombie disaster originated from your country!"

Chu Renyun fearlessly exposed the American Empire’s conspiracy.

Everyone knew.

Although the mastermind behind the zombies was Chinese, he was an American Chinese.

That person, named Xiao Wensen, had always served the American Empire.

Deron was rendered speechless.

He became furious with shame.

"This is a global disaster, a catastrophe for all humanity. The responsibility does not lie with our American Empire. Moreover, we have discovered that although Xiao Wensen served us, he is still Chinese. Therefore, we strongly suspect Xiao Wensen was your spy in our American Empire."

Deron argued skillfully, desperately trying to shift all the blame onto China.

"I will tell you one last time, China denies any involvement with the zombies. If you have issues, you can take them up with the zombies, not us. If you do not leave immediately, we will attack you."

Chu Renyun, being hot-tempered, refused to engage in pointless arguments like those from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs might. These people were clearly here to cause trouble. Reasoning with them was akin to reasoning with a tiger.

The atmosphere became tense and awkward.

Deron suddenly laughed.

"Fine, if you won’t admit it, then wait for the International Alliance’s forces to reason with you."

After saying this, Deron turned and left with his people.

At that moment, he sensed a significant threat.

Even with so many high-level cultivators, they were no match for China’s collective strength.

So, they decided to slowly nibble away at China.

China had already left the International Alliance and was not under any nation’s control.

These high-level cultivators could easily destroy Chinese official bases one by one.

At this moment, inside China’s official command center in Chang’an.

An elderly man, dressed in traditional Tang attire with white hair, sat with his eyes closed, exuding an aura of wisdom and respect.

Everyone treated him with great reverence, speaking softly in his presence.

Suddenly, the command room door opened automatically.

A tall, sharply dressed young man in a casual suit walked in.

Seeing this young man, everyone felt a sudden sense of security.

"Mr. Xiao, you’ve arrived!"

Cheng Gong respectfully approached and extended his right hand.

After shaking hands, Xiao Feng immediately turned his attention to the elderly man sitting in the corner.

With a raised eyebrow, Xiao Feng turned back.

He could feel an immensely powerful but restrained aura emanating from the old man.

Ordinary people wouldn’t notice and would think he was just an ordinary person.

But Xiao Feng could clearly sense it.

Chu Mengling smiled slightly and stepped forward to explain, "This is Mr. Tang Hai, the ancient martial artist I mentioned to you."

"Indeed, as you said, Mr. Tang is truly a master!"

Xiao Feng didn’t hold back his praise.

For a master deserved respect.

"So, what’s the current situation?"

Xiao Feng got straight to the point and asked Chu Mengling.

"My father and his team have driven everyone away, but we detected that these 102 high-level cultivators did not leave China. Instead, they dispersed to various locations across our country!"

Chu Mengling said worriedly.

"They are likely planning to attack our official bases individually!"

"Don’t the official bases have high-level cultivators for protection?"

China is a vast country with a population several times larger than other nations. How could there be so few high-level cultivators?

"No!"

Chu Mengling shook her head in disappointment.

"Don’t you have something similar to the American Empire’s energy transfer machines?" Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

"Energy transfer machines? What are those?"

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Feng was taken aback, realizing he had let something slip. He had learned this secret by possessing Billy’s soul, a top-secret of the American Empire, so it was understandable that Chinese officials were unaware.

After a brief contemplation, Xiao Feng’s patriotic heart burned brightly. He decided to share this information with his country.

"Well, the thing is..."

Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak, he noticed the presence of an outsider, Tang Hai.

Cheng Gong quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, please speak freely."

Reassured by this, Xiao Feng continued.

"In the American Empire, beneath the Temple of the Gods in Selenia, there is a secret base."

"I discovered it by accident when I accompanied Chu Mengling to the American Empire."

"The so-called divine inheritance they speak of is actually connected to a higher dimensional space, where they have made deals with beings from that realm."

"They publicly claim that the Temple of the Gods grants divine inheritances, but the prerequisite is that individuals must input a large amount of energy to be recognized by the gods."

"But this is a scam. Their real goal is to siphon energy from everyone, using those who seek the inheritance as free labor to exchange for the power of inheritance."

...

"But people are indeed receiving inheritances every day!" Chu Mengling said, incredulous.

"All those so-called inheritors you see are actually their own people," Xiao Feng replied with a sneer.

"This power of inheritance is indeed a formidable force from another world."

"And their energy transfer machine can establish contact and trade with beings from that space."

"My God! Does the American Empire possess such advanced technology?" Cheng Gong exclaimed in disbelief.

"Tch!" Xiao Feng scoffed.

"If they had that capability, they would have already dominated the world."

"Then where did this machine come from?" Everyone looked at Xiao Feng in unison.

At that moment, Xiao Feng noticed Tang Hai had also opened his eyes, clearly intrigued.

"Do you believe in extraterrestrials?" Xiao Feng asked instead of answering directly.

"This..."

Xiao Feng noticed a brief hesitation on Cheng Gong’s face, indicating that China likely had information and research in this area, though not publicly disclosed.

Cheng Gong gritted his teeth and said seriously, "To be honest, we do have research in this area."

"Exactly, because this machine dates back to the seventies and eighties of the last century," Xiao Feng said, unsurprised.

"I strongly suspect that extraterrestrial beings visited our planet during that time, leaving behind equipment used for communication."

Cheng Gong and the other high-ranking officials exchanged glances, then said, "That matches perfectly! It all fits!"

"What matches?" Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

"The item we’re currently studying also dates back to around the seventies, but we have no idea what its purpose is."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng became excited.

"What item is it? Can I take a look? Maybe I can help!"

"Well..." Cheng Gong hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the others, seemingly seeking their opinion. They all nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Xiao Feng, though known as a businessman, had proven his loyalty and contributions to the country. His strength and wealth made him a trustworthy figure, not someone who would betray his homeland over such matters.

"Alright! I’ll take you to see it," Cheng Gong agreed to Xiao Feng’s request.

"Let’s go now!"

"Wait!" Chu Mengling interrupted. "But now, those over a hundred Xuanjing experts are scattered across the country. What if they start causing trouble? How can we defend against them?"

"Don’t worry, if they dare to make a move, I’ll ensure they never return home!" Xiao Feng assured everyone, patting his chest.

Hearing this, everyone smiled. The truth was, China now had energy cannons, energy guns, and energy missiles, all of which had lethal power against those below Xuanjing. However, these weapons were less effective against Xuanjing experts. Why? Not because the power was insufficient, but because they couldn’t hit their targets.

At this level, the evolution of their physical fitness and reaction capabilities made them extraordinarily powerful. Sometimes, they could sense energy anomalies from hundreds of miles away and take preemptive actions.

You might miss with one missile, but what about ten, twenty, or a hundred? In the face of overwhelming numbers, they would be effective. But what about the cost? China is a country that values democracy and prioritizes its citizens. Sacrificing thousands or even more lives to kill one Xuanjing expert is not a decision the country would make lightly.

"By the way!" Xiao Feng suddenly stopped. "What would happen if we killed these over a hundred Xuanjing experts from different countries?"

"Hmph! They’re all from countries subordinate to the American Empire, treating it as their master. Killing them eliminates a few enemies. Besides, we’ve already exited the international alliance. If they dare to provoke us, we’ll stand up to them!" Cheng Gong said fiercely, showing no regard for the international alliance.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng gave Cheng Gong a thumbs up.

"Right!" Xiao Feng suddenly remembered something. "I can help you resolve this crisis from the international alliance, but I have one condition!"

Hearing this, Cheng Gong’s face darkened. Wasn’t the agreement to let you see the secret item in exchange for your help? Now there are other conditions?

"Don’t look at me like that. My condition is simple!" Xiao Feng laughed. Cheng Gong’s expression was as if Xiao Feng had asked for half his life.

"After this crisis is over, I want to open a branch in every official base in the country. How about you give me an official decree for that?"

Hearing this, Cheng Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that all? Easy. If you really eliminate those over a hundred Xuanjing experts, I’ll give you a building in every official base nationwide for your business!" Cheng Gong said boldly.

"Generous!" Xiao Feng exclaimed, calling Cheng Gong generous. If Cheng Gong were to mix in society, he’d undoubtedly be the boss.
