Volume 3 Chapter 81 To come to the end

They were not just using frightening words to scare people. Judging from the current situation, Jiangcheng obviously had a lot of strength. As for them, they have tried their best, but have lost miserably.

If you have to continue forcing it, the greatest possibility is that the entire army will be wiped out.

One thing is for certain and that is that this group of people has gathered almost 20% of the superhumans in the country. If they were all lost here, it would be a great loss for China.

Not to mention suffering serious energy, at the least it hurts badly.

Many people retreated, but the people of the Qian family knew in their hearts that they already had a feud with Shao Qing and Jiangcheng and it was a bloody feud. Unless one side was destroyed, the feud could not be solved.

The others were fine. Even if they fell apart, who would know they had participated in this battle against Jiangcheng? They could just deny it no matter what. Anyways, they were not the masterminds.

Only the Qian family couldn’t escape, they couldn’t avoid it. They have to fight against Jiang Cheng to the end. Either you die or I live. There is no third route.

Who knows how many people began to laugh at the Qian family’s short-sightedness, setting up such an enemy for themselves. They couldn’t go forward or retreat, they had forced themselves on to a road of death.

But if one wants to stand out, they should know the ending for that. Flying so high, then being shot down.

When the first head-to-head confrontation was over, the people’s hearts on the Qian family’s side were scattered. It can’t be said that their strength was poor, just that Jiangcheng was too strong.

The tip of the needle against wheat* can still struggle a bit, but what if it’s wheat meeting a bullet?

* idiom – sharply opposed to each other, with neither prepared to give an inch

Attempting the impossible, the result was obvious.

That night when the battle was over, a group of conscious wise people withdrew from the battle and ran away. The pissed Qian Patriarch who had not yet recovered completely, almost died.

Towards the middle of the night, they had to hold a mobilization meeting. The Qian family’s Patriarch shouted heartbreakingly: “Is it useful to escape at this time? No! We have all made a move on Jiangcheng. After Jiangcheng has retaliated, they will never let us go. The only thing we can do now is to concentrate on our strength and work hard against them. Either you die or I live. Look at those people. Now that they are running, what’s the use of that? They have also done something to Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng will not let them go. Who would release their enemies when they are capable of strangling them to death?”

Some people thought about it, yes, that was rational. Once you shoot an arrow, there’s no getting it back. They have already reached this point. What’s the use of regret? They have no way of retreating. Even if the front is a cliff, they can only continue forward vigorously.

After this mobilization meeting, at any rate, it stabilized the hearts of the people. They were a big team and only a small portion of them had made a move. They weren’t seriously damaged yet.

After they rested for a while, they launched a second head-on fight. At this time, Qin Zixi had been taken back long ago. After he commanded these mutant beasts, he had completely overdrawn his abilities. He probably will not be able to recover for ten days or half a month.

But he really did a wonderful job this time. With this, Jiangcheng will have a lot less people die. Shao Qing waved her hand, then said to him: “You have a good rest. Just leave the rest to us.”

As I said before, what does Jiangcheng have the most? Zombies.

The number of zombies in Jiangcheng was at least a five-digit number, and among these zombies, there were no low rank zombies. Most of them were above rank four. A small portion were rank three, the main group of them were rank four and five, and there were quite a few rank 6.

Not even mentioning the rest, this strength was enough to give China a level 3 earthquake. Leveling a base off was something that can be done in minutes.

In terms of combat effectiveness, there was really no base that can compare to Jiangcheng. Right now there were many bases, more than a dozen large and small forces trying to encircle and suppress them, but wasn’t Jiangcheng beating them ruthlessly?

Don’t look down on Jiangcheng or else you’ll really regret it when they force out the blood.

In the second round, Jiangcheng dispatched a total of two thousand high-rank zombies, all of which were rank five zombies, plus one thousand superhumans.

They have fought this battle for a long time. From the beginning to the present, it’s already unclear how many people died. One can only see the front of Jiangcheng Gate, where they fought, with the land covered in a dark red.

If you dig the dirt with a tool, you will find that nearly 20 centimeters of land from below the surface has been soaked with blood. While the attack was happening, Shao Qing was sitting on a high platform, looking blankly.

Too many people have died in this battle that shouldn’t have happened, even cold-blooded people will feel uncomfortable. “When this battle is over, our plan can begin.” Shao Qing said lightly.

Mulin, who had stood for a long time, nodded. Considering the cruelty in one’s heart, Mulin was probably stronger than Shao Qing. When they were mercenaries back then, they were both ruthless.

However, Shao Qing has a son and a lover, so she gradually softened. People are like this. After having a family, no matter how tough and cold-blooded they were, the sharpest edges and corners will be polished away.

“Ah Qing, let me do this kind of thing in the future.” Mulin said softly. Although she saw that Shao Qing didn’t speak, she knew she was definitely uncomfortable. She did not want Shao Qing to feel uncomfortable, or else she would feel even worse.

Shao Qing just said: “Tonight, let the people below harvest all the vegetables that can be harvested. Kill some pigs, sheep, and the like, then hold a banquet. It’s not a celebration. It’s just that after working hard for so long, everyone should have something to eat.”

Mulin nodded, and stepped down to give out the order.

The battle ended without any suspense. When it was over, Shao Qing sent the people under her to collect the corpses on the battlefield. If they were discovered to still have a breath, they were taken back and sent to the emergency room.

Those who have died were all gathered together where they will be burnt all at once.

It’s really correct to say that people die like the extinguishing of a lamp. No matter where you are in your life, there will just be a handful of ashes after you die. Especially in the last days, those with bad luck can only become food for beasts. If you’re lucky, you became a handful of ashes that would have a place to be buried.

The corpses were placed in rows on the square and people in the city would come and claim them. Those with relatives would claim the corpses back to bury them properly. Those who were unaccompanied would be burned and buried.

At that time, when the entire Qin family and Tan family moved into Jiangcheng, the first thing Shao Qing did was count the population and register everyone.
Now anyone who was killed in battle can be found out by looking through the information. If there was a family member, the pension would be paid. If there are no relatives or friends, then nothing could be done.

When the banquet in Jiangcheng was held in the evening, the Qian family had already completely flipped. After all, they really suffered a heavy loss. It was just two head-to-head confrontations yet they lost a third of their people.

If they fight several more rounds, won’t they be completely wiped out?

No one wants to fight a battle that they are bound to lose. More and more people wanted to back down. Even if the people of the Qian family have hundreds of mouths with every one of them full of golden tongues, it would be useless. After all, the fact lied right in front of them.

They don’t even have a 10% chance, so why waste time and manpower here? Before dawn, nearly one-third of the people evacuated again. When it was dawn, people came out from Jiangcheng and a loudspeaker rang. Let alone the Qian’s, even people out for a few miles could hear it.

“The people on the opposite side, listen carefully. Our boss has something to say.” Mulin tried the speaker. When there was no problem, she started shouting: “Our boss said that the Qian family is an enemy and must be killed or we won’t stop. But other people are not in the same situation. If they are willing to go, they can go now. Jiangcheng will let bygones be bygones.”

After shouting the same words several times, she said: “We will give you an hour. After an hour, Jiangcheng will launch the first attack. Those who stay, do not blame us for being impolite, we will treat all as Qian’s people.”

Mulin stopped after ten minutes of shouting, then began to organize manpower preparing for their first active attack. They believe that most people’s brains were still useful, so seeing this situation, they would know what to do. Not to mention that they have pointed out a clear way out to these people. If they have been shown the clear road, but still wanted to send themselves off to death, then there is nothing they can do.

One can persuade you for other things, but how can you persuade them if they insist on sending themselves off to die?

After Mulin sent out her announcement, there really was a swarm of people scattered over there. They had gathered for profit, and scattered for their own lives.

The Patriarch of the Qian family was sitting on the ground with a look of decadence because he knew that it was really over this time. He could not escape. What else could he do besides wait to die?

Two days ago, when someone wanted to run, they could still persuade them, they could still block them. Now they completely gave up. They can leave if they want to leave. They can’t stop others from running away.

Even some people who belonged to the Qian family also ran away. This is clearly when the tree topples the monkeys scatter*. Although they used to rely on the Qian family for food, they were not loyal enough, not to the point where they would die with the Qian family. Even birds of the same forest would fly separately when disaster was approaching, not to mention a group of people gathered because of only similar interests.

* an opportunist abandons an unfavorable cause
It didn’t take an hour, just a dozen minutes of work for the people to scatter and disappear.

Shao Qing sent several teams of superhumans under her hand to go out with the zombie squad, ready to clean up the Qian family directly, without leaving a living person.

Not only that, she was also ready to go to the Qian family’s base camp after the battle was over, and kill those who stayed behind. Don’t blame her for being cruel, she was just cutting the grass and removing the roots.

While sending out people to wipe out the Qian family, Shao Qing’s other side also began to contact the remaining few families to prepare to hold a meeting to clarify the poisoning.

If this matter was not cleared up, Jiang Cheng will not be at peace. The source of the disaster must be understood before this matter really could come to an end.

The Qian family had lost their fighting spirit. When they sent people to fight against them, the resistance they encountered was actually not that great. Shao Qing had already given orders before that none needed to be kept alive. All of them should be wiped out.

In addition to the people who were responsible for the encirclement and suppression, there were some people on the periphery who were specifically responsible for picking up the fish that had slipped through the net. Anyone who wanted to escape would be unable to. Guards were placed in the east, west, south and north, they couldn’t run out.

The battle soon ended. The casualties on Shao Qing’s side were very low. Yan Hanqing, who was in charge of leading the team, was directing people to clean up the battlefield, heads on one side and bodies on the other.

The corpses were all collected and burnt in a fire. Maybe they could make manure. The heads on the other side counted one by one. The amount of heads would show how many people were killed.

On the high pyramid of human heads, the head of the Qian Family Patriarch was stacked on the very top. There were blood stains in his eyes, because at that time he had already understood that the Qian Family was finished.

Those who came out, or those who stayed at home, it was all over.
A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. If they were not greedy at the time and had to gather their hands to attack Jiangcheng, they would not have the fate they have now.

As a result, the entire Qian family was uprooted, shaking the soil, and burnt like firewood.

It is said that one moment can become eternal hatred. The ancients do not deceive us.
