Chapter 990: Chapter 987: Future Prospects

As they spoke, his feet began to move, instantly accelerating to two hundred yards, brandishing the blade in his hand as he confronted the young man from the Funan nation.

Soon, the two brushed past each other— a Level 3 New Human and a Level 4 New Human. It was easy to guess who lost and who won. Time seemed to stop for two or three seconds, and soon, with a "puchi," a stream of blood sprayed from the neck of the young man from the Funan nation, leaving this world with a face full of reluctance.

"That’s it?"

With a snort of disdain, this Level 4 Powerhouse from the Peace Party smiled at his comrades. At the same time, their waist communicators vibrated. Someone took it out and nodded to the others, "The vice president is already over there; we better hurry."

One of them pointed at the black hemisphere on the ground in the city center, and according to the people of the Funan nation, they called it the dome. It was used as the last line of defense for the City of Drugs. The facility was well-equipped so that if it were to be breached by a beast tide or a zombie tide one day, the resources stored within could support the people inside for up to three years.

This was a defensive measure. Akam had thought such defenses would never be activated, as the area around Cepuguo City had turned into woodland, harboring only evolved beasts. The possibility of a zombie tide was slim, and the beast tides were not solely disastrous for humans; the wild animals also suffered greatly. Although the reproductive capability of the evolved beasts had increased significantly, there seemed to be a biological barrier between evolved and non-evolved creatures. Non-evolved creatures mating with evolved creatures yielded no offspring, and only mating between evolved creatures was effective, the same went for humans.

However, one thing was clear—humans could realize this issue, but animals wouldn’t notice. Thus, in recent years, wild animal populations had grown very slowly, making the formation of a beast tide highly unlikely.

Because of these things, both Akam and Mo Jun from the Shen Luo group believed that the last defensive measure of the City of Drugs would never be activated.

But today, under strong pressure from the Peace Party, this last line of defense had to be initiated. The black hemisphere at the end of the city was constructed from H2 steel, naturally, its hardness didn’t need mentioning; even the destructive power of a Level 6 zombie required almost half a month of continuous pounding to break through it, but this half-month period was more than enough for the people inside to find a way to escape.

Several hundred heavily armored Reaper tanks left trails of track marks crushed into the dense jungle, flattening trees like wheat under their weight. Soon, these tanks had breached the zombie-defense walls of the City of Drugs and reached the front of the black hemisphere.

In the southwest, Ah Fu, dressed in heavy armor, was saying something to a man wearing glasses. The man was about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a slim-fit suit that accentuated his slender figure. However, standing in front of Ah Fu, the contrast between the two was stark.

Maybe Ah Fu, having arrived in Jiuge, had never gone hungry; under the abundant anti-life substance modifications, even in human form, his height had surpassed four meters completely. He was truly a giant, his arms as thick as door frames, and no one doubted the power they contained.

"Are you sure your method will work?" Ah Fu asked the man with some doubt.

The man with glasses was named Zhao Lan, who, by all accounts, was highly educated, having graduated from the globally renowned Harvard University. With such achievements, he should have had a smooth sailing career, earning a high salary, living an upper-class life.

However, fate played a cruel trick on him. Very coincidentally, he encountered an old friend, who was not just anybody, but a drug dealer!

Having a drug dealer in one’s social circle was very dangerous; initially, Zhao Lan had no idea, and by the time he found out, it was too late. He had already fallen into the worst kind of addiction, deepening day by day. At that time, his career was just budding, and faced with increasingly expensive drugs, his savings were quickly depleted.

Reluctantly, he had to choose another path. Before the Apocalypse, many countries strictly prohibited drugs, continuously warned of their dangers. Before touching drugs, Zhao Lan believed that sheer willpower could resist the assault of addiction, but the result was an indisputable failure. He concluded that the process of detoxification was several times more painful than having someone press a red-hot shovel against your body.

Zhao Lan thought this way, but unbeknownst to him, his life, like his brain, was blistered by drugs, and he could not escape this addiction. This good fortune did not last long, all because of someone named Lin Jie; naturally, the result doesn’t need stating— Zhao Lan, the small-time behind-the-scenes player, was betrayed by Lin Jie.

In this situation, Zhao Lan was no fool; his future was completely ruined by drugs, and his once-great plans for revenge vanished like a bubble in a dream.

Like Zhao Lan, everyone who came to the Funan nation had no way out but to stay here for life. Thus, Zhao Lan juggled internet fraud with drug use. However, his status as a highly educated individual quickly helped him rise to a high managerial position in a local company, and his life was relatively good.

When the Apocalypse came, he also started working for Jiuge in the Funan nation. His life was harder than before, but compared to others, he couldn’t complain too much.

And he, after the Peace Party bombed the Chuga City Base to preserve his own life, voluntarily told Ah Fu everything about Jiuge, including about the black hemisphere within the City of Drugs.
