Chapter 838 - 835: 11 Underground Forces

Chapter 838: Chapter 835: 11 Underground Forces

After a series of operations, Xu Haishui handed the tablet to Tang Ye and pointed to the eleven underground forces that had been marked in red, saying, "There aren’t many underground forces that can dispatch four Level 4 New Humans to cause trouble at will. Excluding some with insufficient strength or lack of high-level New Humans, or those without conflicting interests, these eleven are the most likely to act against our Peace Party."

Tang Ye looked up and saw that the eleven forces marked on the tablet were Seventh Night Market, Third Night Market, Lao Kou Lane, Fifth Street, Dongjiang Sihai Gang, Little Standalone Tree, Daytime Gang, Alchemy Association, Sword and Shanhe, Huang’s Place and Three Seven Path—these were the eleven underground forces.

They were all super underground forces capable of dispatching four Level 4 humans at once!

"These are the forces, huh? Investigate! Any suspect, no matter who they are, wipe out their family!"

A vicious look appeared on Tang Ye’s face. Openly killing members of the Peace Party was no longer a simple provocation. If the other party did so just to rescue someone from the prisoner cart, it could be understandable, but for no reason, to slaughter his subordinates like chickens and cattle—how could he tolerate this?

Tang Ye glanced at Hatred, considering whether Chen Chaoyang, who had killed Xu Hui’s family, should continue to serve him, torn between Ning Yu’er’s kind condemnation, telling him such an extremist person could not be used, and the idea that while such a person may be a bad thing for others, for him, a zombie, why should he care about the good and evil of humans?

In the end, personal desires overrode reason, and Tang Ye chose to accept Hatred. After all, it would be a loss not to make use of such a good fighter.

Having founded the Peace Party, Tang Ye’s power within human society had been growing, but with it came an increase in responsibilities.

Fortunately, the Apocalypse was not a peaceful era; its rule was the survival of the fittest. With his own personal combat prowess so strong, he didn’t have to worry about his subordinates betraying him, and he could freely exercise his powers. But before the Apocalypse, he still had to worry that others might try something behind his back.

The Apocalypse was simple yet brutal. To find spare time, one must delegate his responsibilities, but to whom? That was the issue.

Tang Ye wanted to have free time, and this was how to do it.

If he once harbored a hint of guilt for accepting Hatred, now Tang Ye felt none. Some things were best dealt with by fighting fire with fire!

And those who slaughtered people like poultry required someone like Hatred to deal with them!

Using the dark forces to fight evil was undeniably an intriguing affair.

"Hatred, this matter is yours to handle. No matter what methods you use, drag out the mastermind behind this!"

"Yes!"

Hatred nodded, his tone revealing his interest in such matters.

Afterward, Tang Ye said a few words to a few others before leaving, and when they left, a large number of Peace Party soldiers appeared on the streets, starting to question the perpetrators of the massacre, asking about their appearances and physical features, then comparing them one by one.

Meanwhile, those eleven underground forces were closely monitored by the Peace Party’s strongmen.

However, this massacre seemed to be just the beginning; it didn’t stop. On the second day, a patrolling squad of Peace Party soldiers suddenly came under attack by dozens of New Humans, resulting in heavy casualties.

On the third day, three more slaughters took place, all involving Peace Party soldiers on patrol who suddenly fell under attack by powerful New Humans!

And then, on the fourth and fifth days, more and more killings occurred. For two consecutive weeks, Peace Party soldiers on patrol were attacked daily, each time fatally struck at vital points resulting in on-the-spot deaths!

The New Humans attacking the Peace Party patrols included Level 3 New Humans, Level 4 New Humans, and even Level 5 New Humans. Their targets were mostly those of middling status within the Peace Party. Their motives were a mystery; no one knew what they were after.

It seemed like they were retaliating against the Peace Party, but unfortunately, they lacked the strength to pose a substantial threat, resorting to such methods that seemed more like provocations.

On one occasion, a squad of soldiers even faced an encirclement by twenty-seven Level 4 New Humans, which, of course, resulted in a tragically heavy outcome.

This incident fully alarmed Tang Ye, as the simultaneous deployment of twenty-seven Level 4 New Humans was not something those underground forces could manage.

In recent days, the continuous attacks on Peace Party soldier patrols, with each resulting in complete fatalities, led the Peace Party to dispatch high-level New Humans to shadow some patrol squads. Yet, the assailants were vigilant, refraining from any assault when a strong presence was hidden nearby.

By contrast, those attacked were squads without strong escorts.

Moreover, due to the incident involving twenty-seven Level 4 New Humans attacking at the same time, those eleven underground forces under tight scrutiny by the Peace Party could somewhat relax their guard, as suspicions towards them had diminished significantly since that event.

"Marshal, what brings you here? Why didn’t you say something in advance so that I could come and meet you?"

At Seventh Night Market, the largest underground force in the United District, their leader, Level 5 New Human Huang Kunlun, stood respectfully in front of Tang Ye. Behind him, a group of high-ranking members—nine Level 4 New Humans and one Level 5 New Human—stood tensely in front of Tang Ye.

"No need. We’re just here to find the criminal. If you’re not involved, I’ll take my people and leave immediately," Tang Ye said indifferently.

Huang Kunlun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, aware of why Tang Ye had come to find him. In recent days, the continual attacks on Peace Party members had resulted in heavy casualties and a fall in reputation.

Although there were only a few forces that could dispatch a large number of Level 4 New Humans to do such things, as the premier underground force in the United District, they would inevitably be a suspect. They had already been investigated by the Peace Party before, but today’s visit by the Chairman of the Peace Party, accompanied by two Vice Chairmen and Hatred personally, had startled him. He felt as though they might be under some kind of misunderstanding, perhaps seeking to eradicate his Seventh Night Market.
