Chapter 629 - Fall of Blood Alliance (1/2)

Meng Chao squashed down his burning curiosity and said, “Let’s talk about the private lives of the supreme fighters of the older generation later on, when we have time. What happened later? How did your— How did Jin Wanhao’s sister die?”

“We were naturally not satisfied with being controlled by Blood Alliance and living lives worse than death. It was especially so when my sister, Lei Zongchao, and I became much stronger from the numerous times we explored the ancient ruins. It’s how we gradually gained the chance to overthrow Blood Alliance,” A’Ji said.

“But the time was not right. We needed to keep our claws retracted, because the members of Blood Alliance also noticed that we were getting stronger and becoming less manageable. They injected all sorts of tranquilizers and poisons that had delayed effects. We had to take the antidote regularly because of it. They also placed all sorts of shackles and time bombs on our bodies to make sure that we didn’t do anything rash.

“We noticed that we needed someone to help us before we could overturn Blood Alliance’s evil rule.

“Such people soon appeared.

“They were the ancestors of the nine great mega corporations. They were the other gangs created when Dragon City was going through the apocalypse.

“It’s really ironic that at that time, when Dragon City had just entered the lawless, bloody era, all the gangs were products of the strong preying on the weak. They relied on absolute strength and carried out brutal regimes. None of the gangs were any better than Blood Alliance.

“But as Blood Alliance’s tentacles stretched to all of Dragon City, most of the gangs that relied on brutality to rule over their territories were abandoned or destroyed by Blood Alliance.

“The reason for that was simple. If the law of the jungle was the only law, then why should anyone submit to these gangs when they were as violent as Blood Alliance but not as strong? Why should they quietly withstand being exploited and oppressed?

“Subjecting to Blood Alliance and tolerating their exploitation and oppression was better, wasn’t it?

“No matter how brutal Blood Alliance was, at least it had absolute strength and could help its people survive the threats of zombies and monsters. They could also snatch valuable food and water from other gangs!

“Aside from Blood Alliance, the other gangs who were able to survive in the harsh environment used a gentler approach to rule, were kinder to their people, and had all sorts of crucial technology. They were the relatively ‘civilized’ gangs.

“These gangs sensed that as Earthlings gradually gained their footing in the Other World and the zombie virus and ancient virus stopped being a deadly threat, spirit energy martial arts and runic symbol technology would become a general thing, so many people would have the ability to fight monsters and other creatures of the Other World. The lawless apocalypse would not last for long, and the light of civilization would once again shine on everyone’s heads.

“Laws, morals, and order were all abstract things, but plenty of survivors called out for such things, and whoever answered their call obtained support. They were the ones who could gain stronger power than the one provided by the ancient ruins and could turn into the rulers of Dragon City in the future.

“These relatively gentle and kind gangs sensed what was vital in their era and seized it firmly in their hands.

“On the surface, they were respectful to Blood Alliance. They did everything Blood Alliance asked them to do, and they even begged for mercy from them.

“Blood Alliance placed their main focus on researching the ancient ruins, so they needed other gangs to help them manage the large Dragon City as well as gather all sorts of resources scattered all over the place and solve small problems like the zombies. So, they were deceived by the gang’s seemingly tame disguise and didn’t kill these gangs as soon as possible.

“In secret, an anti-Blood Alliance group was slowly taking shape, and they extended their claws into every corner of Dragon City without Blood Alliance noticing it. Their claws touched the hearts of the citizens who were oppressed by Blood Alliance.

“‘The ancient ruins and supernatural abilities belong to all Dragon Citizens!’

“‘Defeat Blood Alliance and build a new Dragon City where everyone is equal!

“When Blood Alliance believed that they could do whatever they wanted with supernatural abilities and suppress the people forever, these two slogans spread like a bushfire throughout the city.

“Finally, when the sparks burned in every citizen’s heart, war broke out.

“It wasn’t a war against zombies or against monsters. It was a civil war between transmigrators.

“One side was Blood Alliance, and the other side was all the people aside from Blood Alliance.

“In the beginning of the war, Blood Alliance used its matchless supernatural abilities to defeat everyone effortlessly. No one was a match against the superhumans. They were really arrogant and believed that they could effortlessly suppress the suicidal bunch of ragtag soldiers.

“But they did not expect that the main battle was just a feint used to divert their attention.

“While they were outside massacring their enemies, the suicide squad of the anti-Blood Alliance group snuck into the headquarters that Blood Alliance had built on top of the ancient ruins and released me, my sister, Lei Zongchao, and the other research subjects.

“In truth, the special agents of the anti-Blood Alliance group had already infiltrated the ranks of Blood Alliance and contacted us. They were waiting for the perfect chance to remove our restraints so that we could work with them from within to deliver a fatal blow to Blood Alliance.

“Once we joined the war, the situation changed 180 degrees, just as everyone expected.

“My sister, Lei Zongchao, and I turned into killing machines more terrifying than Blood Alliance, and we instantly destroyed Blood Alliance’s advantage when it came to high-end battle power.
