Chapter 776 - 772: A Man Surnamed Ning_1
Chapter 776: Chapter 772: A Man Surnamed Ning_1The pain receded, freeing him to ponder other things, his gaze suspiciously circling his surroundings. Every time he spotted the disciplined Peace Party soldiers, a trace of desolation flashed across his eyes.
"You mustn’t have forgotten the United District’s extermination operation against the Peace Party one month ago," he speculated.
Tang Ye nodded and said, "I certainly haven’t forgotten. In fact, I’m waiting for an opportunity to reclaim what they took from me. But first, tell me about where you come from."
The man took a deep breath, steadying his nerves before speaking. "This uniform I’m wearing, it’s from Pingnan Base. It’s true, as the Base Commander said, our base is not doing well. But that’s an understatement. The one who now owns Pingnan Base is not Jin Liudong."
"What?" Tang Ye was taken aback. He was familiar with Jin Liudong. Li Songhua had been so worried about him previously that he had once used Tang Ye as a human shield.
"What happened? Why has Pingnan Base got a new Base Commander, and what happened to my Peace Party? Even the combined efforts of the seven members of the United District couldn’t put a dent in us. What sort of power could have taken us down like this?"
The disheveled soldier hailing from Pingnan Base heaved a sigh as a wistful expression swept over his countenance. Once upon a time, he was a Level 2 New Human basking in glory amidst the chaotic Pingnan Base. Now, he was a mere shadow of his former self, and the memory of that past stirred poignant feelings within him.
"Base Commander, whether you believe me or not, I can’t help you in the slightest. The reason why I can save the Peace Party is that I’ll give you a piece of information."
"Jin Liudong of Pingnan Base disappeared suddenly one month ago. It was precisely three days after your Peace Party’s big battle with the United District. Jin Liudong vanished as if he’d evaporated into thin air. Nobody knows where he went."
"Could the City of Bright Moon be behind this?" Tang Ye subconsciously thought of the City of Bright Moon. After all, Yang Jiaoyong, the base commander of Xingnan Base, had suddenly perished in a sewer, and a high-ranking official from the City of Bright Moon succeeded him.
But to his surprise, this soldier from Pingnan Base shook his head, a puzzled look in his eyes. "No, it wasn’t the work of the City of Bright Moon. He merely vanished, just vanished, vanished from this world. When we
"Are you aware of the upcoming general meeting called by the seven members of the United District?"
Tang Ye shook his head and the downtrodden soldier continued: "This meeting aims to address the various bases in S Province. Your existence has alarmed the members, and they are plotting against you."
"The operation previously launched against the Peace Party was just child’s play for them. The strength of the United District’s member bases easily outmatches Qinshan Base. If they decide to get serious, even though you could possibly escape unscathed, the Peace Party won’t."
"Coming for me?"
Tang Ye suppressed his chaotic thoughts and turned to inquire quizzically.
"Yes, not only you but also Guanglan Base. The day the Level 6 zombie emerged in Qinshan Base, it was severely harmed by Li Songhua’s Dragon Slayer Sword. The sword’s incredible power comes primarily from the Dragon Orb at its center, the dragon’s core!"
"Dragon Orb?" Tang Ye was momentarily lost. This was yet another bizarre name. What could it be?
"The Dragon Orb also goes by another name-- the Energy Crystal. Guanglan Base’s Research Team used their exclusive technology to eliminate the genetic repulsion contained within each type of Evolution Crystal, allowing them to merge and transform into superior Evolution Crystals. Although this crystal wreaks havoc on the human body, making it unfit for consumption even by Level 3 New Humans, it serves as an excellent energy source for recharging weapons."
"It has profound uses, possesses immense power, and it can even slay a Level 6 zombie! This Dragon Orb caught the attention of the United District, and the worst part is, Jiuge has already signed a ceasefire agreement with the United District. Now, all of their focus is on S Province. Once they regain their strength, none of S Province’s powers will be able to resist the United District’s onslaught."
"What is this Jiuge power?"
"Jiuge is a major power in South and Northwest China, on par with the United District. Due to resource allocation, they openly and secretly fought in numerous disputes."
