Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: New God Group! Chu Beixuan

Two moons hanging in the sky, the night is vast and boundless.

All over the country, various mutated monsters run rampant.

Humans, animals, plants, insects, etc., nearly seventy percent have mutated.

This terrifying ratio means that among ten living beings, seven are mutated.

The Imperial Army has also suffered heavy losses, to the extent that some city battle zones have already fallen into the hands of mutated creatures.

In the face of mutated monsters, even ordinary mutated creatures are beyond what regular people can handle.

New God Mansion.

Boom! Bang! Roar roar roar—

Over a dozen Super Martial Warriors are clearing the mutated monsters continuously charging in from all directions.

The leading Super Martial Warrior among them, wielding a heavy halberd, is clad in Taotie Armor, sweeping through the monster hordes.

Hardly any mutated monster can withstand his blow.

"Chairman, this is not a sustainable approach. There are simply too many monsters; we can't kill them all."

A woman clad in Flame Armor fights her way to the side of the man in Taotie Armor, battling alongside him, saying, "The brothers' stamina is waning. It's better for us to retreat back to the underground bunker!"

"Alas! Mengxi, your father could only wait for you until now."

The man in Taotie Armor sighed helplessly. The reason he was clearing monsters around the mansion was out of hope for his daughter's return.

Now it seems that his daughter has already fallen prey to the monsters.

Whoosh!!

Just as the man in Taotie Armor was about to give the order to retreat, a woman clad in Ice and Snow Armor suddenly emerged in the dark night.

She wields an Ice and Snow Bow, capable of shooting several Ice Arrows with each pull of the bow.

"Who are you? Have you seen my dad?"

Chu Mengxi struggled to fight her way back, and upon seeing over a dozen Super Martial Warriors battling monsters here, she joined in and shouted loudly.

Everyone was wearing Super Martial Armor, making it impossible to recognize faces, hence the inquiry.

Carefully fighting her way back from the underground fighting arena, Chu Mengxi's stamina was somewhat depleted.

On the way back, all she saw were various mutated monsters.

"Haha! Good, Mengxi, you actually became a Super Martial Warrior and returned. Retreat!!"

The man in Taotie Armor, upon hearing this, immediately gave the retreat order.

He stayed back to cover the retreat, being the last one to enter the mansion.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close completely, he slipped into the elevator with a whoosh.

Inside the elevator, everyone took off their helmet armor.

"Dad! Are mom and my sister okay now?"

Seeing her father unharmed, and having awakened a more powerful Super Martial Armor, Mengxi was overjoyed.

"They're all fine, in the underground bunker!"

Chu Beixuan let out a slight sigh of relief. He appeared to be only in his early thirties, with sharp handsome features conveying a strong oppressive aura of authority.

New God Group, with a market value of 500 billion, Chairman Chu Beixuan, is also a nationally renowned business mogul.

Beneath their headquarter building, a bunker capable of withstanding a nuclear war has been constructed.

Massive edifices like New God Mansion, even companies valued in billions tend to have bunkers underneath.

These wealthy individuals are quite afraid of death, always preparing for a nuclear war.

And now, the apocalypse has come instead of nuclear war, ironically proving their foresight.

The underground bunker in New God Mansion is extravagantly built, like a massive underground laboratory, enough to sustain thousands of people.

"Su Mu, go and sort out the bunker supplies, see how long they can last for our group of over a hundred people."

Once down in the bunker, Chu Beixuan instructed.

"Alright!"

The woman in Flame Armor nodded and left.

"Mengxi, come, let's go see your mother and sister."

Chu Beixuan then led his daughter deeper into the bunker.

"Dad! I can't stay here too long..."

Chu Mengxi briefly explained her encounter with Gu Qijue.

"Oh, there is such a person, but now that you're back, you don't need to worry, having my daughter serve as a servant is truly audacious."

Chu Beixuan's deep eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent after listening.

"That person is ruthless. If I don't return, I'm afraid it will bring trouble here."

Chu Mengxi frowned slightly. She didn't want to go back either, but considering that man's terror, she hesitated.

"Don't think too much, leave it to Dad to handle!"

Chu Beixuan patted her shoulder, saying: "Daring to make my daughter serve as a servant, he deserves to die!"

...

...

Late at night, after rescuing numerous survivors, the Imperial Army in Cloud City began to gradually retreat due to severe losses, as even the Super Martial Warriors suffered heavy casualties and couldn't withstand the pressure.

They had indeed done their best, wanting to save even more survivors.

But, as ammunition neared depletion, they had no choice but to retreat first.

The Cloud City battle zone had truly done its utmost.

Faced with such a multitude of monsters, they were struggling to advance.

As more Super Martial Artists awaken over time, larger-scale rescues will become possible.

In his previous life, Gu Qijue could only survive in a bunker built by Super Martial Artists, living a miserable life, never rescued.

Underground fighting arena.

"Master, I feel we can't stay in the city too long. Food will eventually run out, but the apocalypse will not disappear because of it. I know outside the West Suburbs, there's a military base. Let's steal some seeds first, then attack that military base!"

Zhao Hu brought over a bucket of mineral water for Gu Qijue, saying: "The city's high population density results in high numbers of mutated creatures, making it an unsuitable place for long-term survival."

He is definitely not the only one with such thoughts.

The apocalypse is drawn out, but food is finite.

Only by self-sustaining can long-term survival be achieved.

"Why should we leave?!"

Zuo Heilong behind Gu Qijue picked up a water bucket to his mouth, gulping down huge swigs.

He isn't wearing a shirt right now either.

Although he can restrain the twin dragons behind him, letting them out would tear through outfits, so there's no point in wearing any.

"Isn't leaving good?"

Zhao Hu hesitated, asking.

"Only fools leave. Mutated creatures, once dead, their blood absorbed by the Earth will yield a kind of fruit, which if you consume, can enhance your Super Pattern."

Gu Qijue stood up, saying calmly: "This fruit is important, existing only for twelve hours. Once time's up, they transform into Alien Species Level mutated monsters."

"So our Super Pattern can evolve, we really can't leave then."

Moved by these words, Zhao Hu realized: "That's another resource we must compete for!"

"Naturally, remember to have everyone search for water, and I'll make sure you get enough 'Deformed Fruits'."

That said, Gu Qijue stood up, saying:

"It's time for me to devour and evolve mutated creatures, you go gather supplies!"

"If that woman doesn't return by tomorrow, then she's as good as dead."
