Chapter 112 The Crucible of Flesh and the Protocol of Silence (4.2K)

Li Ye was not surprised by this.

Humans and monsters are mortal enemies in the wasteland.

"With such a formidable enemy at hand, we don't have many options left," he said slowly. "Let's unite and fight the zombies first, and we can settle the score later."

Groke clearly didn't comment, and slowly nodded.

Old Zhou and his companions, standing not far away, were also dumbfounded.

It's hard to imagine that there are such manly goblins in this world.

A real man and a goblin—these two are probably impossible to connect no matter how you look at them.

But now it was truly there before everyone's eyes.

"Damn it, even Schwarzenegger would give this goblin a thumbs up!" Li Ye thought to himself.

On a secluded street, the leader of the monster resistance and the human lord stood face to face, while their companions stood not far away.

“I can’t believe humans have managed to get this far,” Grok said. “I think I have a pretty good idea of ​​what your goal is. You want to destroy the zombies’ flesh-melting furnace area, right?”

Seeing Li Ye nod, he pondered for a moment, then pressed for more information.

"May I ask, how much combat strength do you currently possess?"

“We currently only have one Tier 2 city,” Li Ye replied.

Groke paused for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"I see," he said softly. "It seems that's far from enough."

"You sound like you know a lot about the Flesh Furnace. How much defense does it have?" Li Ye asked.

He learned the following from Groke.

The Flesh Furnace is the core area of ​​the zombie civilization, a giant industrial zone that processes a range of zombie vehicles and mobile cities.

It can even produce zombies from flesh and bones.

The zombies deployed defensive forces there to cover 20 mobile cities, as well as a horde of millions of zombies.

"My God!" Li Ye's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.

This level of defense is truly difficult to break through.

He couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that the rewards promised by the Apocalypse Church are not as easy to obtain as imagined.

The previous estimate of a 20% chance of winning was far too optimistic.

“Don’t be so easily discouraged, human,” Grok said. “In fact, your arrival and your request for cooperation surprised me. Perhaps we still have a chance.”

"Then can you explain the combat strength of your monster resistance army?" Li Ye asked. "That way, I can have a clear understanding."

Groke nodded and began his introduction.

According to him, the Monster Resistance Army currently has 2094 members, consisting of goblins, gnolls, boarmen, minotaurs, snakemen, and others.

All of these monsters are level 2, including some elites and elite captains.

The equipment sets of Tier 2 firearms, Tier 2 rocket launchers, Tier 2 melee weapons, Tier 2 off-road vehicles, and Tier 2 helicopters are also quite good.

抵抗军共计拥有1座2级城市，6座1级移动城市、98辆越野车、150辆摩托车，12架直升机。

2级枪械共计1290把，2级重机枪12挺，2级火箭筒52门，1级枪械武器若干。

"There are so many?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

It seems that this monster resistance force is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

This increases the chances of breaking through the Flesh Furnace.

Grok added some more information.

As the industrial heart of the zombie civilization, the Flesh Furnace area was surrounded by a dense network of railways and major transportation routes.

These railways acted as the lifeline of the zombie civilization, continuously transporting vehicles and weapons forged in the flesh-and-blood furnace to various parts of the zombie empire, and even to the front lines of the war against humans.

The newly created zombie mobile city will also move along major transportation routes.

As the leader of the monster resistance, Grok commanded his members to destroy a large number of railways and transportation routes, delaying the zombies' troop deployment to the front lines.

In fact, this inadvertently helped humanity and relieved the pressure on the front lines.

Looking at the goblins before him, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and feeling).

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that monsters look too much like humans?

After several hours of discussion, the two sides finally came up with a breakthrough plan.

Li Ye then led his men back to Tomorrow to rest.

During this time, he logged into the Eternal Night Zone channel again.

At this moment, Fang Yong and his team sent a message informing Li Ye that they had discovered a wormhole.

They were both delighted and surprised, yet extremely hesitant.

Everyone is aware of the teleportation function of wormholes, but few dare to try it.

The reason is simple: the teleportation location of a wormhole is completely random, and no one knows where it will teleport you.

The wormhole I experienced before leaving the wilderness was quite friendly; it simply teleported me from one side of the forest to the other.

Some wormholes can be incredibly absurd, sometimes transporting you to completely unknown new areas.

Some mobile cities are unlucky enough to be instantly teleported from their low-level area to an unknown high-level area.

As for those extremely unlucky ones, they are transported from the ground to the high sky or the ocean.

Entering a wormhole is a complete gamble, so people only choose to enter one as a last resort.

Li Ye seemed quite relaxed about this. After all, he knew the situation of the wormhole.

He tried his best to calm Zhou Xing and Fang Yong down and urged them to head to the wormhole as soon as possible.

The two naturally had great concerns, not understanding why Li Ye was so confident. However, after a fierce internal struggle, they decided to trust Li Ye and head to the wormhole.

"Phew." Li Ye couldn't help but let out a long breath.

With his teammates safely evacuated, he was free from worries and could fully dedicate himself to the mission of storming the Flesh Furnace.

The entire crew of Tomorrow then began intensive preparations for battle.

After finishing a series of tasks, Li Ye went back to his room and took a nap.

When he woke up again and subconsciously opened the system panel, the sixth epic intelligence report had already been updated.

He was stunned when he saw the contents.

6. Six hours later, the Fleshforge Zone will undergo its routine troop rotation, with a three-minute gap between the old and new troop movements. (Intelligence Value: Epic)

"What a rare opportunity!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

As expected of epic intelligence, its value remains as high as ever.

This three-minute gap in the zombie garrison's rotation will create an opportunity for Tomorrow and the monster resistance.

A fleeting, huge opportunity to turn the tide.

He quickly got up, dressed, and summoned Old Zhou Linwu to make final battle plans. He also sent someone to notify the monster resistance army.

A dozen minutes later, both sides set off towards the Flesh and Blood Furnace Zone.

To avoid revealing their whereabouts, everyone chose to turn off their lights as much as possible and slow down to reduce the noise they made while driving.

"Time is almost up," Li Ye said in a low voice.

At this very moment, Tomorrow and the Monster Resistance Army have arrived at their destination and are quietly lurking in the darkness.

A few kilometers ahead lies the Flesh Furnace area. Several Level 2 zombie mobile cities are patrolling here, and a terrifying horde of zombies lurks on the outskirts.

Time ticked by, and finally, as a zombie city sounded its siren, the patrolling zombies retreated in one direction.

The roaming horde of zombies followed closely behind the zombie city as it departed.

The time for the rotation that the field garrison had been anxiously waiting for finally arrived.

At this moment, the road ahead is no longer difficult, but a smooth path.

After confirming that the garrison had gone far away, Li Ye waved his hand.

"start to act!"

The Tomorrow and the seven monster mobile cities immediately accelerated and sped toward the Flesh Furnace.

During this time, the first and second convoys and the Storm infantry fighting vehicles arrived on the ground via the elevator platform, and the Black Hawk helicopters took off from the upper deck in turn. The combat personnel on the deck were already fully in position in front of the artillery and heavy machine guns.

Everyone wore a solemn expression.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the walls of the Flesh Furnace were breached, and the Tomorrow and the monster mobile cities poured in.

"Success!" The moment he entered the Flesh Furnace area, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As he expected, Tomorrow and the Monster Resistance would have to suffer heavy casualties to enter the Flesh Furnace, but they have now entered the Flesh Furnace area unscathed.

Now, the reward promised by Bishop Heath is within his grasp.

Overjoyed, he also caught a glimpse of the scene in the flesh-and-blood furnace zone.

"What the hell is this thing?" His expression changed.

As the industrial heart of the zombie empire, the Flesh Furnace is like a giant open-air factory formed by the fusion of flesh, bones, and machinery.

The first thing that catches the eye is the raw material processing plant, whose main structures are sorting tables, digestion tanks, and crushers.

On the sorting platform lay countless collected zombie remains, which were slowly fed into the digestion pool along the conveyor belt, turning into fuel for the flesh-and-blood furnace.

Conveyor belts extended from the digestive tank, carrying the unburned remains of zombies. Crushers then pulverized these remains into powder, which was transported elsewhere to be reprocessed into skeletons.

Secondly, there are numerous assembly workshops, filled with countless large and small robotic arms and semi-mechanized zombie workers. At this moment, they are assembling weapons, vehicles, and even mobile cities.

Next up are the flesh-and-blood reactor and the neural control center.
What connects them are countless flesh and blood tubes of all sizes.

What surprised Li Ye the most was that the Flesh and Blood Furnace could actually produce raw materials such as flesh and bones.

In vast fields, flesh and bones swell and grow as if alive—probably due to the cell reproduction of flesh technology.

"This is disgusting!" Li Ye shook his head repeatedly. "Fire!"

As the mobile cities of humans and monsters opened fire, the entire Flesh Furnace area was engulfed in a deluge of explosions.

The old and new garrison troops who had originally retreated from the zombies arrived immediately, followed by a surging horde of zombies.

With a series of cannon shots, the Tomorrow fired a large number of smoke shells at the enemy.

Having succeeded, Li Ye no longer wanted to entangle with the enemy and sped away.

The two sides then engaged in a chase in the Flesh Furnace area, during which the Tomorrow and the Monster Resistance Army fired wildly at all parts of the Flesh Furnace area, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Suppressing his excitement, Li Ye quickly typed a line on the Eternal Night channel.

[Tomorrow's Issue: Ladies and gentlemen, I've succeeded!]

A series of exclamations and excited comments instantly appeared in the public chat. At this moment, everyone forgot about the public channel restrictions and celebrated this victory wildly.

Bishop Heath then sent him a message.

[Saint: I must say, you did a really great job, young man.]

[Saint's Ship: Once the situation is confirmed, the Church of Apocalypse will fulfill its promise and pay you the reward.]

[Tomorrow's Issue: Thank you, Bishop Heath.]

[Saint: You're welcome, you deserve it.]

[Tomorrow's Ship: That's all for me now. I'm heading to the Jurassic Zone. I hope you can send someone to deliver the reward along with it.]

[Saint: Okay. Thank you again for your sacrifice and dedication, young man. You have made a tremendous contribution to the human race this time!]

During the conversation, Li Ye noticed that the Flesh Furnace area was slowly writhing.

"Although it was severely damaged, it is made of flesh and blood technology, so it should be repaired soon," he thought.

After Li Ye expressed his concerns, Bishop Heath said he understood.

[Saint: We are well aware that the Flesh Forge will be restored, but until it is fully repaired and back in production, the pressure on our three fronts will be greatly relieved, and the human forces in our respective areas can expedite their evacuation.]

[Tomorrow's Issue: Your Excellency, I have a question.]

[Saint's Call: Please speak.]

[Tomorrow's Post: Isn't the Apocalypse Cult a world-class organization? Sending any level 4 or 5 city should be enough to easily deal with the zombie civilization, right? Why not do that?]

Li Ye typed out his thoughts.

In fact, he had been troubled by this question for a long time.

Bishop Heath then gave a reply.

[Saint: The Protocol of Silence.]

[Tomorrow's Issue: What?]

[Saint: When you grow old enough to access and abide by this agreement, you will understand everything.]

[Saint: Young man, this world is far more complex than you imagine. It is far more complicated than you think.]

[Saint: It no longer belongs to humans.]

Under the questioning gaze of Li Ye, Bishop Heath ended the communication.

"A silence agreement?" Li Ye murmured.

He felt he needed to figure out what the agreement was all about.

He then looked away from the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.

His mission was complete, and the affairs of the Eternal Night District were no longer his concern.

Now that it has accomplished its mission, Tomorrow can head to the Jurassic-Cretaceous region to reunite with its companions.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed.

Tomorrow and the monster resistance quickly withdrew from the ravaged Flesh Furnace Zone.

The zombies clearly weren't going to let them go and relentlessly pursued them.

After thinking it over, Li Ye made a decision.

“Ning Wen, don’t hold back on the Frostfire shells,” he said. “Fire as much as possible to delay the enemy’s movement. As long as it allows us to withdraw, it’s worth it.”

As the Frost Cannons fired in succession, large numbers of zombies, along with the moving city, were frozen in place, severely hindering the pursuit of the enemy forces. During this time, Li Ye spotted a completely black zombie city.

That was clearly the Lady of Silence's "silence sign".

Li Ye had no desire to get entangled with such a troublesome enemy, so he ordered the Tomorrow to proceed at top speed.

After successfully escaping, Tomorrow and the monster resistance bid each other farewell and went their separate ways.

Under Li Ye's orders, the Tomorrow turned and headed east.

That's the direction where the Jurassic and Cretaceous regions are located.

On deck, the crew of Tomorrow breathed a sigh of relief and embraced each other in celebration.

My mood eased considerably after leaving the wilderness.

This trip was thrilling, but it eventually came to an end.
