Chapter 465: METAL Mechanic (2/2)
Knowing that peace would not be secured on Mars until the death of the Dark Lord, House Lie and the Divine Mastery sect had deployed all tricks up their sleeves to assassinate Moye. However, so far, the hiding place of the Dark Lord still eluded the human assassins.
Clearly, the Dark Lord had learned how to hide while dealing with the cunning humans. Some factions had even sent in spies, who appeared to the Zergs as captives. But, no one had ever heard anything from those spies since then.
However, not all hope was lost, as the Kaedeians suddenly took up arms and caught the Zergs who had been focusing on House Lie by surprise. The Zergs quickly found out that not only the Kaedeians were powerful fighters, but also immune to the corruption of parasites due to their genetic incompatibility.
After the Zergs realized how big of a threat the Kaedeians were, they quickly gathered forces and campaigned against the Kaedeian settlements.
Wang Tong nodded and asked, ”Got it! Where can I find the Kaedeians now?”
”Why? Do you want to visit them? It's too far. You will have to sneak through areas controlled by the Zergs. It's impossible.” Despite being the voice of reason, Ye Zi told Wang Tong the general direction where the Kaedeians were settled relative to their location. Immediately after giving Wang Tong the direction, Ye Zi urged him to stay put in the camp and warned him that only the top tier warriors would be able to get to the Kaedeian settlement alive.
Wang Tong had heard people talking about the three great Zerg generals, so he asked Ye Zi who they were. His face became taut after he was told that the leader of the Zerg army inside the city of Maersa was one of the three notorious generals.
Wang Tong's burning desire to punish the Zerg leader for his heinous crime didn't escape Ye Zi.
”I know you are angry, and trust me, you are not alone! But, you need to know your place and do what you are good at. Don't be silly.”
Ye Zi's caution caught Wang Tong off guard. He paused for a second and then cracked a smile, ”Thank you for the thought. I won't court death.”
As they heard the noise rose in the dining room, Ye Zi pushed herself out of the chair and said, ”Come on! Follow me… I will introduce you to everyone.”
Except for the soldiers who were on duty at the guard post, everyone had gathered at the dining hall. Ye Zi introduced Wang Tong to members of Battle Wolf. Although Wang Tong was not in the battle unit, his fixing of the METAL suits had earned him everyone's respect.
After the dinner, a few young girls started dancing around the blazing campfire. The Martians always had been a promiscuous lot; the imminent Apocalypse had only served to exacerbate the burning desire for lust.
There were not many females among their rank, and the most beautiful girl in the camp was Ye Zi. Unlike many other female fighters, Ye Zi had turned down everyone's request for dancing with her. Each failed attempt aroused a round of snickers and banters.
”Haha, it looks like only boss has the ability to tame this wild one.”
”What a shame that the boss is already courting someone else!”
”Lie Xuan? Haha... Now THAT one is a real she-wolf! ”
”Do you think Boss really has a chance?”
”Hush! Don't let Boss hear it! I have heard that House Lie had sent a representative to our camp recently. He said that Lie Jian was pleased, but there will be no marriage until Boss has taken over the City of Maersa.” A soldier said with pride in his voice that belonged to soldiers from a group that was deemed worthy by Lie Jian.
”It's a honey trap! But, I think our boss will be successful. He had partaken in the tournament before the sh*t hit the fans.”
Those tournament players who had survived the five years of turmoil had all grown up to be toughest leaders of the human race. Although these individuals' power was limited while facing hordes of Zergs, they had lit up the beacon of hope in humans' hearts.
”Hey furface, why don't you join everyone on the dance floor?” Ye Zi asked Wang Tong, who was sitting quietly in a corner. Ye Zi was a powerful mastery cultivator, and therefore, she was very sensitive to people's emotions. Right then, she could feel a mixture of loss and sorrow roiling inside Wang Tong.
Wang Tong rubbed his furry chin and regretted leaving it like this.
The soldiers surrounding Wang Tong looked at him with envy. He was the first person to be asked by Ye Zi. However, Wang Tong's seemingly ungrateful reply turned their sour look into that of despise.
”I'm a terrible dancer. I will pass.”
