The Zerg Emperor of the End of the World - Chapter 520
c520 Anomalies in the Han River
The Han River, with its rolling waters and dark whirlpools, is a river hundreds of meters wide and daunting. This river, a tributary of the Yangtze River, China’s largest river, flows day after day, blocking the north-south exchanges.
On both sides of the Han River, there are many village-level bases, and the largest base has only about 20,000 to 30,000 people.
The people living here live by the water, and every household has fishing nets and bamboo rafts. Their food source is to go fishing in narrower and smaller rivers such as the tributaries of the Han River, because the fish and crustacean mutants in the river rarely appear here, and the small ditches are not enough for them to swim freely, which gives the survivors the opportunity to hunt for fish and catch small fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. in these small ditches as food.
The Han River is more than 800 kilometers long. Before the end of the world, many cross-river bridges were built everywhere. However, with the arrival of the end of the world, the giant mutant fish beasts living in the Han River seemed dissatisfied with the line above their heads blocking the sunlight. In the two years after the end of the world, all these cross-river bridges were broken. The survivors who were originally able to communicate on both sides can only look at each other across the river and pass information through drifting bottles.
The territories of the Daqin Base and the Lishan Base do not touch each other. There is Nanning Province between the two sides, and the largest river in Nanning Province is the Han River. Although no one said it explicitly, Wang Jin and Mu Yi tacitly regarded Nanning Province as a buffer point between the two sides, and the Han River is the territorial demarcation line between the two bases.
At such an important location, when the Lishan Base rose, it had already set up a military camp on the south bank of the Han River, stationed 20,000 soldiers to patrol along the south bank of the Han River. Similarly, the Daqin Base also set up a military camp on the north bank of the Han River, but the scale was much smaller, and it was opposite to the Lishan Base across the river.
Nanning Province does not have a unified base, and the large and small bases are fighting every day, because no one comes to accuse the two bases of illegal military behavior, and of course no one dares to accuse them. These are the two strongest bases in the country now. Only those who don’t want to live will meddle in other people’s business.
On the north bank of the Han River, at the Hanjiang direct military camp of the Daqin base, the atmosphere here is more solemn today, because after Mu Yi issued the order to go to war, this place will undoubtedly become the front line of the battlefield.
“Division Commander! The young lady and the demon hunting team are here.”
Inside the military camp of the Hanjiang Daqin base, Ke Yu, the highest officer here, heard the report from his subordinates, immediately stood up and walked out of the military camp, stood at the door and bowed to greet.
“Miss Mu, all the masters of the demon hunting team, please come in.”
The people who came to the military camp were Mu Qianqing and a group of twelve level five mutants.
These level five mutants have a special name in the Daqin base, the demon hunters. Those who can join this team need to have a minimum strength of level five. They are also the peak masters of the Daqin base. They don’t go out easily, and if they go out, something big will happen.
“No need to be polite!”
Mu Qianqing smiled gently, looking like she came from an ordinary family, not arrogant just because she was Mu Yi’s daughter.
“Captain Ke, how much do you know about the Lishan army stationed south of the Han River? Tell me the details.”
“Yes!” Ke Yu saluted and immediately introduced: “The Lishan army stationed south of the Han River has more than 25,000 people, consisting of an armored division and two infantry divisions. Among them, Niutouling is where their military camp is located. There are enemy sentry towers and patrol troops everywhere along the Han River, and the river bank is blocked by enemy artillery and mines. If our army arrives, we must first get rid of this unit if we want to cross the river smoothly.”
Mu Qianqing was silent for a while, turned his head to look at the demon hunting team next to him, and asked one of the handsome young men with a simple long sword on his waist: “Are you sure?”
“It’s no big deal. We will act tonight. A mere 20,000 troops are nothing.”
The handsome young man smiled, and his words were indescribably confident.
“Sword God Li Mingyi, I have long heard of your name.”
Ke Yu looked at the handsome young man with a look of admiration on his face.
In the Daqin base, Sword God Li Mingyi is a household name. He became a level 5 master at a young age and served as the chief officer of the demon hunting team. His swordsmanship is superb. He once killed three level 5 mutants alone in a battle with the Solo Republic Base. He also had a record of beheading a level 5 mutant beast with one sword, and his reputation spread far and wide.
This person’s strength is obvious to all. In the Daqin base, he is only lower than the leader Mu Yi. There are even rumors that his personal strength is stronger than Mu Yi.
Recently, there are rumors in the Daqin base that Mu Yi’s pearl Mu Qianqing may marry Li Mingyi, which makes Li Mingyi very popular.
“Hello.” Li Mingyi looked arrogant. Facing Ke Yu’s outstretched hand, he shook it reluctantly. It is estimated that this is because he is concerned about the presence of people around him.
Ke Yu was a little embarrassed. He was ignored by a young boy at his age. However, he didn’t dare to say anything because of the other party’s status. He could only suppress his anger in his heart. He looked down on Ke Yu. It was not wrong to be young and frivolous, but he was arrogant and looked down on others. What achievements could such a person achieve now? He would definitely fail in the future.
Ke Yu’s embarrassment was only for a moment. People who could reach his position had long learned not to show their emotions, so he smiled again in an instant and said, “Everyone is tired from the journey. Please come in quickly. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you.”
Mu Qianqing smiled apologetically at Ke Yu and walked into the military camp with a dozen members of the demon hunting team. Although everything that happened just now was concealed, she knew Li Ming’s personality well, so she naturally knew what was going on.
Getting on a military Hummer, Mu Qianqing frowned slightly and shouted at Li Mingyi who was sitting in the front passenger seat: “It’s just reckless. Look at the good things you did just now. Do you have to offend everyone? With your personality, how can you get along with others in the future?”
“He’s just a small officer. What’s the point of communicating with such a person?”
Li Mingyi said disdainfully, turned around and looked at Mu Qianqing in the back seat with love in his eyes, and said: “But since you said so, I will be more careful next time, just as a face for my unmarried wife.”
“Li Mingyi!” Mu Qianqing’s eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: “What unmarried wife? My father promised you the marriage, but I didn’t agree. Don’t spread it to me.”
“Isn’t it different? My uncle has spoken. As the saying goes, parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words, you are wronged to be my wife.”
Li Mingyi smiled on his handsome face and brought up Mu Qianqing’s father.
“I have no feelings for you, so just give up on this idea.” Mu Qianqing snorted coldly and said angrily, “Don’t think I don’t know that you are the one who spread those rumors in the base. Do you want to blackmail me with words? I tell you it’s impossible. My father is my father and I am me.”
Li Mingyi’s smile froze, and Mu Qianqing looked at him coldly. The car fell into endless silence. No one expected that the family affairs of the Daqin base were handled so badly.
