“Where did you hear about the Black Light Energy?” asked Han Yaun in surprise.

Jiang Liushi stared at him coldly and replied, “I’m the one asking, not you. Answer my question, but don’t spout nonsense.”

Han Yuan looked at Jiang Liushi and his sniper rifle with a complex expression. “I don’t know from where you learned about this, but since you know, it’s better to understand that the core doesn’t belong to you. It is the Black Hole’s heart. As long as the core is intact, you can say it’s similar to a super battery that can stay charged all the time.”

Zombies, mutant beast, and even broken copper or iron could be absorbed and turned into energy. The development of energy was the history of human civilization’s development. In this post-apocalyptic world, energy was extremely scarce. No matter who owned such a core, which was an inexhaustible source of energy, they would equivalent to the owners of large oil fields before doomsday. It was hard to imagine the enormous wealth it would bring them.

“Jiang Liushi, the core is a pretty good item, but because of this, you’re far away from keeping it safe. Compared to them, you’re nothing!” barked Han Yuan while shaking his head.

“Who are they?” asked Jiang Liushi. He didn’t like bickering for personal gains or losses with a person that was about to die. However, Jiang Liushi was quite interested in the people that Han Yuan mentioned.

“Are they from the military or government?” asked Jiang Liushi.

Jiang Liushi didn’t know about the Huaxia Region’s situation, but he thought that all the Regions were under the government or military’s control. After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, only numerous modern weapons could ensure the Safety Zones’ existence.

“What you say is not wrong. All the people I’ve encountered were all members of the government. Some of them are in high positions, so don’t even dream of meeting them. However, none of us know who’s the leader. I’ve only someone mentioning him once, but his name or any personal information is unknown. I’m sure you’ll never have the chance to meet our leader. You’re far away from meeting out leader… I can just tell you that we don’t have a secret code to recognize each other. We’ll only know that we’re fellow members if we meet each other… You’ll have to stay vigilant against us forever… When they learn that you have the core, only death awaits you! You’ll die miserably, worse than me!”

Han Yuan knew that Jiang Liushi would not spare him, so he didn’t care about revealing all those secrets. Instead, the more he said, the more excited he became. He wanted to let Jiang Liushi know how terrifying the forces behind him were and make his so scared that he could not sleep at nights.

“Oh? Really?” Jiang Liushi frowned and said, “I understand. It seems that this mysterious group of people is powerful.”

“Are you afraid? It’s too late.” Han Yuan smiled excitedly.

“I guess that they have plenty of resources, right? Maybe they have even found other cores!” Jiang Liushi felt excited. He was interested in everything about that group. “Hahaha. Your leader has piqued my interest! Well, I got my answers, so…” said Jiang Liushi and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing him, Han Yuan shouted in despair, “Jiang Liushi! You, your friends and family will all die soon!”

Jiang Liushi revealed his exceptional sharpshooting skills again. He shot Han Yuan’s palms, arms, and shoulders in perfect order. In the end, amidst Han Yuan’s heart-wrenching screams, his head exploded. The whole body convulsed before it laid lifelessly on the ground. Jiang Liushi suited his actions to the word.

All the spectators could feel their sculps tingling due to the gruesome scene

“General Han…No, even though Han Yuan is hateful, Captain Jiang isn’t a kind soul either…” murmured the tank fleet’s Commander with a complex expression. He had never expected that Jiang Liushi would have killed Han Yuan in such a way, and before so many people.

“Yuxin!” Jiang Liushi shouted, “You should examine Han Yuan’s corpse. See if you can find anything special.”

“Okay.” Li Yuxin nodded. Shortly after, she shook her head and said, “I didn’t find anything.”

“It’s okay,” replied Jiang Liushi.

He wondered why Han Yuan had said that the fellow members could recognize each other upon meeting. According to Han Yuan’s words, the mysterious group was acting behind the shadows, controlling the military and government’s main forces. Han Yuan didn’t know who their boss was, which meant that he wasn’t a core member. Although he was a Major General, he had been pushed forward to fight.

Jiang Liushi realized that the mysterious group was in no way ordinary as they make an ordinary survivor into a general with ease. At the same time, Jiang Liushi didn’t believe everything Han Yuan had said.

‘No matter who their leader might be, it’s not my concern. At least, I have Starseed. All that matters is for me to keep evolving and reach a point where I traverse wherever I want. Only then I won’t have to be afraid of anyone,’ thought Jiang Liushi.

It was impossible for one person to fight against a nation or country. No matter how powerful that leader was, he could not unite a country. Thus, Jiang Liushi was still confident even after learning about the mysterious group. In Jiang Liushi’s mind, he could not loot the resources of a Safety Zone, but he would love to get his hands on the mysterious group’s resources at any given chance.

‘We’re still near the Safety Zone, and things will get troublesome…’

thought Jiang Liushi. Then, he looked around and thought that since Han Yuan was already dead, the tanks may attack. If that were to happen, his new MCV would suffer a lot.

Naturally, he could choose to break out of the encirclement forcefully, but it was a special period for his new MCV as it was still undergoing changes. While Jiang Liushi was thinking of his options, the Commanders was also facing an internal struggle.

“Rawr!”

Suddenly the ground started shaking while growling sounds came from the distance. In the twinkling of an eye, a frenzied zombie horde appeared on the other side of the street. Those zombies had been attracted by the explosions and gunshots.

The moment the Commander saw the zombies, he shouted, “All members! Get ready to fight!” Then, all the tanks aimed at the zombies’ direction,

Jiang Liushi accidentally looked at the Commander. Then he ordered quickly, “Let’s go.”

When the Commander heard the minibus’ engine, a complex expression appeared on his face. He looked back, but the minibus was nowhere to be seen.

‘I let General Han’s killer escape…’

The Commander sighed. Their whole world had been turned upside down this day. But he believed that if they were to clash, both sides would suffer. In that case, they should fight against the zombies. It was useless for humans to fight when there was a greater enemy.

‘The core…’

The Commander felt nervous when he thought about the black object. He believed that it was better to stay as far away as possible from that thing.
