Chapter 347: Chapter 344: Returning to Zhiyang Lake Again_1

After the light in Zhiyang Lake had completely faded, the camera switched from normal to night mode and started its return journey.

In the room, one dialogue box after another on the screen went dark. Each leader was contemplating their own plans, but they all resisted expressing them.

Except for Chen Huaijiang, he immediately called his assistant once the screen turned black. As his thirty-something-year-old assistant walked in, Chen Huaijiang demanded, "Songhua, notify the military department to get ready. You have three days. I want everything prepared in three days. We’re heading to Zhiyang Lake in Lin City!"

Li Songhua was taken aback, not quite understanding what he’d just heard. When it finally sank in, he asked, "Mr. Mayor, are we going to kill the dragon again?"

Chen Huaijiang nodded without hesitation.

"But Sir, we’ve already lost so much, now..."

"Enough, use everything we have! We must get that dragon! After what happened today, those six old fellows must be getting ideas. We can’t let them get there first!" As he spoke, excitement flashed in Chen Huaijiang’s eyes.

Among the six bases, Qinshan Base ranks first in New Human power. The reason is simple: Chen Huaijiang was the first to implement the New Human cultivation plan, allocating essentially all available resources to his New Humans.

But it was never enough. He needed his power to grow even stronger!

Li Songhua glanced at Chen Huaijiang and then at the screen in front of him. His expression grew indifferent, refraining from trying to dissuade Chen Huaijiang. He simply nodded and responded, "Alright, I’ll get it done right away."

"You can go now."

Chen Huaijiang did not urge his assistant to stay. He sat in the chair, staring blankly into his teacup.

Many bases had attempted to kill the dragon in Zhiyang Lake, but all had been unsuccessful. On the contrary, these bases suffered losses as a result.

Killing that dragon was like a lottery in a game. If you hit the jackpot, you would get a heroic weapon. If not, all the money spent would be wasted!

Qinshan Base had tried four times yet had gained nothing. Ever since Hong Zaiyi took away the bases’ only remaining quantum bullets, Qinshan Base had lost interest in Zhiyang Lake.

But today, the sight of the dragon on the screen brought a shock that was self-evident.

Of course, Chen Huaijiang had seen pictures of other people shooting dragons, but the photos were too blurry, failing to provide enough impact!

The dragon’s incredible strength suggested it was at least a Level 4 creature!

That meant there’s a Level 4 Evolution Crystal Core in its brain! Once obtained, it could instantly create a Level 4 New Human, who would essentially be the pillar of a power group!

Chen Huaijiang, a Level 3 New Human, currently had three equally powerful subordinates. He should’ve been content, but human nature was too greedy.

His greed caused him to overreach, leading to significant losses!

After killing that dragon and acquiring its Evolution Crystal Core, Chen Huaijiang could directly evolve to Level 4. Then, his control of the base would be even more effortless!

But what he hadn’t noticed was the look in Li Songhua’s eyes as he was leaving and closing the door behind him. Li Songhua was staring at him, an eerie smile playing on his face as the door slowly closed.

This smile did not seem kind or innocent and it was unclear who it was aimed at.

When Li Songhua went downstairs and transmitted the orders, all combat personnel in the Qinshan Base started preparing.

When the smug Chen Chaoyang, who was feasting on lotus-root starch in a villa, heard the news from Li Xiaoyan, he scoffed and said, "What’s it got to do with me? As long as the old man doesn’t rope me in, that’s fine."

While talking, he rested his head on a young girl’s white leg and burrowed it deeper into the softness...

Three days passed quickly. The military department had all the pre-war preparations in place. The moment the gate was opened, hordes of armed helicopters took off, heading for Lin City en masse.

This ’lottery’ had Qinshan Base wagering all its chips. They brought all quantum weapons in the base and biol nano materials armored cultivated with anti-life matter from Chenhua Technology Company.

After the 18 armed helicopters of Qinshan Base and two large-scale transport helicopters disappeared across the horizon, a man appeared at a street corner below, gazing in the direction of the departing fleet. With a mocking tone, he muttered to himself, "Chen Huaijiang, you are in too much of a hurry."

This man, with white hair at his temples and a slightly stooped figure, seemed to be in his fifties. If Chen Huaijiang was here and saw him, he would be shocked. This was one of the leaders who appeared on the screen three days ago!

But why was he here?

His base was Pingnan Base, a hundred kilometers away from Qinshan Base. It wasn’t possible for him to be here without preplanned flight routes; there might be swarms of zombie birds in the sky!

It was unclear whether he had arrived in Qinshan Base long ago or just recently.

As the fleet of armed helicopters flew over Lin City, they encountered no danger. They occasionally ran into a few flying zombies harassing them, but these were not a big deal.

As the fleet flew over a dense crowd of zombies, one of the zombies suddenly looked up at the sky, a thoughtful look in its eyes.

Far away on Shiwuguan Base, Xu Haishui suddenly opened his eyes and headed towards Tang Ye.

"Boss."

"Hmm?" Tang Ye, holding Nannan in his arms, appeared puzzled. This guy rarely initiated contact with him. Was he here to report a new kind of evolved zombie?

"Several helicopters are coming from the east of the city, heading towards Zhiyang Lake."

"Zhiyang Lake?"

"Yes."

"Did you recognized which base they’re from?"

"No, I couldn’t see clearly from the perspective of the unevolved zombie. All I could see were a lot of helicopters but nothing else."

Tang Ye sat on the couch, stroking Nannan’s head while glancing out the window. He saw nothing.

"How long has it been since we last visited Zhiyang Lake?"

Xu Haishui pondered for a moment and answered, "It should have been two months... wait. It must be around that long. Boss, are you suggesting the dragon has surfaced?"

Tang Ye shook his head, "I can’t be certain. Let’s go and take a look. Hand Nannan over to Zhou Ranjun and meet me at the Yuyin Garden Villa."

"Sure."

With a quick response, Xu Haishui walked out with a smiling Nannan in his arms. Meanwhile, Tang Ye opened the skylight, took off his upper clothes, revealing his muscular body, intertwined like a Jiao Dragon.

Flesh on his back wriggled and split apart, forming two openings. With a spring from his knees, Tang Ye jumped up, sprouting dark purple bat wings from his back in mid-air and swiftly flew towards the villa.

When Xu Haishui arrived at the villa, without uttering a word, Tang Ye grabbed both Ah Fu and Xu Haishui in each hand, and they swooped towards Zhiyang Lake.
