Chapter 934: Chapter 930: The Generosity of a Stingy Friend 4

Hearing the phrase "Hidden Dragon Council," Jin Ye’s brows noticeably furrowed. When it came to the Hidden Dragon Council, it was natural for one to think of the Cloud Gorge Base.

The Cloud Gorge Base was a large survivor base constructed after the post-apocalyptic outbreak, when the government still existed. The scale was so immense that it covered an area larger than half a province. Initially, it was merely to allow surviving citizens to re-establish human civilization therein.

The Cloud Gorge Base had two levels, the living area and an underground resource production processing area. However, as the post-apocalypse dragged on, the two levels of the Cloud Gorge Base gradually became a divide between the wealthy and the poor.

The vast area allowed the Cloud Gorge Base to accommodate a large population. From the start of the apocalypse, more than three million people lived there, and by now, it boasted a population of tens of millions.

If one were to rank it, the Yunxia Base in China was one of the few SS-level survivor bases in the world, rightly claiming the title as the world’s number one, even surpassing America’s Hidden Dragon Shelter City and Yaka Ega’s Hope Territory.

Yet, within the Cloud Gorge Base, there were two superpowers, known as the Judgeship and the Hidden Dragon Council. These two forces were the strongest in all of China from the very beginning because they controlled a vast amount of resources even before the Apocalypse, thus they held advantages post-apocalypse that others did not.

The extent of their power was no longer just describable as powerful, in other words, they were akin to two kingdoms, dividing the entire Cloud Gorge Base!

And these two kingdoms waged war over territory every single day!

Other underground forces within the Cloud Gorge Base could only survive under the gaze of these two kingdoms.

Being the world’s top survivor base, it housed many powerful individuals; it was said there even was a supreme being among them who had evolved to Level 7, with nearly a dozen or more Level 6 New Humans. Yet all these powerful people were split between the two factions. It was said that any New Humans above Level 5 seen in the Cloud Gorge Base were either from the Judgeship or the Hidden Dragon Council.

As for that supreme being who had evolved to Level 7, nobody knew who it was or to which faction they belonged. At times, rumors circulated that this supreme being was from the Judgeship, and other times, it was heard that they were part of the Hidden Dragon Council. Naturally, there were also rumors that the leaders of the Hidden Dragon Council and the Judgeship had always been the same person.

The reason for the ongoing fierce battle was entirely characteristic of a ruler’s art of war, only by having two opposing factions under him maintaining balance could the emperor securely keep his throne.

Jin Ye fell silent, and it was clear to see that he harbored some trepidation. This could not but make him wary, as neither the Hidden Dragon Council nor the Judgeship in the Cloud Gorge Base were forces that the United District could afford to offend lightly. Though the United District was also a superpower, it was several ranks below those two!

If one were to describe the gap between the Hidden Dragon Council of the Judgment Association and other superpowers, it could only be said that if the apocalypse were a game, then the other underground forces or survivor team forces on the wasteland would be just a bunch of players, among whom there were both low-level and high-level players, such as the Peace Party of the United District, who were among the high players.

The ones who paid and invested heavily would become top players in the end, but, if superpowers like the United District and Jiuge were high players, then the Hidden Dragon Council and the Judgeship were like official accounts established by the game’s developers, colloquially known as admin accounts!

And within admin accounts, the equipment could simply be obtained by modifying internal data, meaning the Judgeship and the Hidden Dragon Council always had the greatest resources!

Such an advantage was not something other superpowers could have!

As for why describe it this way? Actually, it’s simple because both the Judgeship and the Hidden Dragon Council had their origins—one being the legendary Dragon Group from before the Apocalypse, believed to be fictitious, and the other being China’s largest military-level technological research company—Chendong Genetic Technology.

Both factions, originally encompassing the world’s top talents and the ability to mobilize national assets, had advantages so immense that even the strongest outsiders seemed insignificant in comparison.

Lv Jinyu silently looked at Jin Ye across from him, his question having apparently baffled the latter. It was easy to move the Mercenary Guild, but what about the Hidden Dragon Council lurking behind it?

That was much more troublesome than the Peace Party, not to mention their technology was a mystery. If Dongsheng Co-management could produce Hunter Battle Suits, there was no reason the Hidden Dragon Council couldn’t.

After nearly half a minute of silence, Lv Jinyu saw Jin Ye’s brows slowly relax.

He did not rush to speak and give an answer but turned his head to look out the window.

Outside, the noise of the strong chatting occasionally blew in along with the autumn breeze, and leaves fluttered down. He stretched his hand outside, and several dry leaves fell into his palm, their golden color enchanting him.

"Jin Qiu? No... Sigh, time passes so quickly... Life is short, too much worry wastes even more time, I am no longer a small fry."

Jin Ye spoke to himself, feeling very calm inside. Before the Apocalypse, he was afraid he couldn’t earn money fast enough to keep up with his parents aging; after the Apocalypse, he feared that what he could enjoy would not come as quickly as death.

Hesitation was just a waste of time!

Man might not always beat fate, but the end’s arrival was inevitable. Whether good or bad, having acted too much, at least one could know in advance!

The hand he had stretched out curved slightly, the dry leaves being pinched making a cracking sound. Within them, Jin Ye felt a hint of chill in his palm.

There were snowflakes among these leaves; it seemed winter was close!

"Hmph, what of the Hidden Dragon Council? Far in the depths of Yunxia, I don’t believe their reach can extend all the way here! Even if it could, what then? If they dare come here, I’ll chop off their hands!"

Soon, fierce killing intent flashed in Jin Ye’s eyes, his voice as firm as iron!

Clap! Clap! Clap!...

At this, Lv Jinyu clapped his hands, his face beaming with a bright smile.

"Not bad at all, not in vain you’re called the strongest hunter, Jin Ye. Such spirit, truly astounding! It seems, picking you was an absolutely brilliant choice."

"Too kind."

"Shall we proceed now?"

"Let’s proceed."

Jin Ye nodded, and Lv Jinyu then called over the soldier from before, whispering a few words to him. From the few clear words heard, it was definitely no good!

The soldier nodded in agreement, then ran up to the balcony, but this time, he took away two bags of trash that had been stacked beside them.
