"By the way, Wang Luo, there's a rumor going around from who knows where, calling someone 'Empress of the Dark Night' and another 'Goddess of Light.' Who do you think they're talking about?"
Zhao Qingxuan chuckled.
"Who else could it be? It's naturally about my two wives!"
Wang Luo's smile was radiant.
These two titles had both originated from him, so how could he not know?
"Empress of the Dark Night, I really like this title!"
Zhao Qingxuan said proudly.
Yang Shu nodded. "I like it quite a bit too!"
"How about I prepare a set of imperial robes for you both?" Wang Luo suggested.
"Bold! Tonight, this Empress demands you attend to me. I shall be on top!"
Wang Luo nodded. "If you can last, I don't mind. I'm just afraid you'll cry exhaustion later!"
"And the position you like most isn't this one!"
Yang Shu quipped, "Quick, tell us, what position does our Empress favor the most?"
"She likes... Mmph!"
Wang Luo's mouth was silenced by Zhao Qingxuan!
A few days later,
Visitors arrived from Changlong City!
"Leader, they seem to be here with ill intentions!"
Qi Lianyun frowned, holding his binoculars.
The opposing force numbered in the thousands, their momentum unstoppable, obliterating any zombies in their path!
It was evident their levels had also reached Gold.
Such a grand display naturally drew their attention!
"It's fine, it doesn't matter how many come!"
Zhao Qingxuan stood atop the earthen wall, fearless.
"If they dare to cause trouble, we'll make sure they never return!"
At this moment,
Thousands of awakened individuals from Changlong City stood not far from the opposite base, gazing at the distant settlement.
"Second Leader, this is the base we discovered!"
Captain Li Mo reported urgently.
This was a golden opportunity to claim merit!
"Indeed, as you said, this base is large, and there should be plenty of supplies!"
"Rest assured, once this matter is concluded, you will not be lacking in rewards!"
Second Leader Qian Tai nodded.
Li Mo and the others rejoiced internally,
already contemplating the rewards, surely there would be a good amount of jerky, right?
"Go challenge them!"
Qian Tai instructed Li Mo.
"Yes, Second Leader!"
Li Mo acknowledged.
He took the megaphone and proudly shouted towards the people on the city wall: "Listen up, those inside! You are surrounded. Surrender immediately and hand over your supplies and women, or don't blame us for showing no mercy!"
He turned back to ask, "Second Leader, is this kind of challenge acceptable?"
"Good!"
Qian Tai nodded.
Supplies were paramount, women were secondary!
But living in the apocalypse, one also needed to fulfill biological needs, didn't they?
"Demanding our supplies and women? Preposterous!"
Zhao Qingxuan sneered,
and picking up her own megaphone, shouted back: "We have plenty of supplies, and even more women! If you have the guts, come and take them. If not, go home and drink milk, and stop your pointless babbling here!"
Qian Tai was enraged. "Well said, you sharp-tongued woman! Once I capture you, I'll see if your mouth is truly as potent as you claim!"
"We've already given you a chance, and you failed to cherish it. Since that's the case, everyone, follow me and charge in! Let's seize their supplies and women, and make them our supplies, our women!"
"Roar roar roar~~~ Seize their supplies, seize their women!!!"
Everyone roared excitedly.
At the same time,
Zhou Yiming and his group, who had been monitoring the villa district, also received the news.
"What? Survivors from another city are trying to seize the supplies of the Dawn Base?"
Zhou Yiming exclaimed in surprise.
"How many people have they sent?"
"A lot, around four to five thousand!"
"Boss, this is a golden opportunity! Like the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind us, we must get involved!"
"That's right, Boss, we can't miss such a chance!"
Everyone eagerly anticipated a grand windfall.
Especially after discovering the correct usage of energy source crystals, their base's strength had significantly increased. Zombies could no longer hinder their progress, and now it was time to raid other bases' supplies.
Otherwise, they themselves would starve!
"Boss, I don't think a frontal assault is advisable right now!"
Someone objected.
"Liu Qi, you're too timid! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you say such things? What if the Dawn Base is annihilated and its supplies are all taken by the other group? We'll have nowhere to cry!"
"Everyone, you've been blinded by greed for supplies!"
Liu Qi shook his head.
"Haven't you considered that the awakened individuals from other cities number only a few thousand, while the Dawn Base? Just the ones visible to us are over ten thousand awakened, and how many are not in our sight?"
"I can guarantee that the awakened from other cities this time will be completely wiped out!"
"As for the Dawn Base, there will be casualties, but the losses should not be too great!"
Liu Qi analyzed calmly.
He was worried that these individuals, driven into a frenzy by the prospect of supplies, would also be annihilated.
Zhou Yiming nodded. "Liu Qi's analysis is sound. We were too impulsive!"
Even he had been tempted moments ago!
"Then are we just going to stand by and watch? What if the other group succeeds? The Dawn Base has many ordinary people!"
Many were unwilling to accept this.
"Alright, we'll go over and observe, but we won't get too close, and we definitely won't get drawn into their battle. If an opportunity truly presents itself, then we'll make our move decisively!"
Zhou Yiming made a firm decision.
"Agreed!"
And in the villa district,
Qian Tai had led thousands of awakened individuals to the front of the earthen wall.
"Kill! Leave none alive!"
Zhao Qingxuan roared.
"Kill!"
In an instant, nearly ten thousand awakened individuals charged out from behind the earthen wall.
"Holy crap, there are so many of them?"
Li Mo and the others were greatly alarmed.
Their numbers were double that of the attackers!
For a moment, they felt a flicker of hesitation.
"Don't panic, don't be disorganized. What good are numbers if strength isn't there?"
Although Qian Tai was also surprised,
he did not lose his composure and quickly rallied their morale.
"Second Leader is right. We are two levels higher than ordinary zombies. They won't be stronger than us!"
Li Mo also roared,
"Follow me and charge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a vine as thick as an arm shot up from the ground, entwining his legs.
Approaching him were several fireballs and ice cones!
"Kill!"
Qian Tai was powerful.
Golden light radiated from him, and with a wave of his hand, he shattered the several esoteric arts attacking him.
Then, with a powerful leap, he intended to jump onto the earthen wall and charge at Zhao Qingxuan.
As long as the enemy leader was eliminated, their morale would falter!
"SS-grade Gold elemental awakened!"
"Good potential, but unfortunately, you've picked the wrong person!"
Zhao Qingxuan smiled.
Dark Sky Wings instantly appeared behind her, and with a "whoosh," she materialized before Qian Tai.
He knew the tactic of capturing the leader; did she not?
