Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter
Chapter 46: The Order
"Personal matters?"
Yan Muyang's hawk-like eyes suddenly flashed a smile, "Private matters are good, private matters are good."
"I've never even bothered with Jintu's personal affairs. Why doesn't Brother Zhao go and look after him?"
"He'll handle the matter of Jintu himself, so there's no need for Brother Yan to worry about it."
Zhao Yun stepped forward, blocking Yan Muyang's path.
He was genuinely worried that the second battalion commander would get itchy and rush forward.
"Alright, since Brother Zhao is looking out for me, I won't go. But I wonder if the other camp leaders will care about Jintu."
Yan Muyang glanced at Zhao Yunhuai with a half-smile, then turned and returned to his own camp. The moment he turned around, his face instantly darkened.
He didn't believe a single word Zhao Yunhuai said.
The gaze fixed on his back did not completely disappear until he returned to the camp.
He had just mentioned the other camp leaders, but Zhao Yunhuai showed no sign of anything amiss, probably because the other camps were also being watched by Jintu's men.
Yan Muyang glanced at the few trusted men standing beside him and gave an order to one of them.
"Dongfang, you go there yourself and make sure you find out exactly what that brat Jintu is trying to do."
A middle-aged man strode forward, clasped his hands in a salute to Yan Muyang, and spoke in a strong voice.
"Yes, Godfather!"
As the tall figure disappeared, the other people in the building looked on with complicated expressions. They dared not send a fourth-tier talent to investigate the Ash Land.
As Dongfang Meng walked out of the camp building, cold sweat was already seeping from his forehead. He dared not disobey his adoptive father's orders, but sending him to investigate the Ash Soil would undoubtedly be courting death.
The next instant, his figure silently disappeared into the shadows. His talent [Shadow] allowed him to blend into any shadow without making a sound.
Unbeknownst to him, Dongfang Meng transformed into a shadow and headed towards the Black Forest.
Meanwhile, similar individuals with special talents were also quietly moving out from several other large camps.
After the various high-level talents of the Ash Earth Camp were sent to visit each of them, the camp leaders had no choice but to endure it, but they could send their subordinates to sneak out.
In the ruins of Tokyo, Jin Tu's figure, like an exploding crimson flame, sped toward the outermost stronghold.
With his speed talent [Lightning Release], his speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. In less than an hour, Jin Tu's figure appeared on the outskirts of the ruined city of Tokyo, with ten talented individuals monitoring the Black Forest behind him.
"Lord Jintu!"
"It really is Lord Jintu!"
"Why is Lord Jintu here? Could it be that the demons have really made a move on that mine in the Black Forest?"
Several gifted individuals discussed amongst themselves, their excitement growing as they gazed at Jin Tu's straight back.
They had long wanted to take action against the Black Forest mines. If they hadn't been suppressed, countless talented individuals would have secretly infiltrated the Black Forest.
Standing on the rooftop of the fortieth-floor building, Jintu stared quietly at the thick, billowing black forest and asked in a gentle voice.
"Any updates on the mutants we sent?"
Upon learning that a chaotic battle had broken out in the Black Forest between gifted individuals and mutants, Jintu immediately suspected that his brother was planning to attack him.
Gazing at the billowing smoke and flames rising above the Black Forest, Jin Tu's confusion deepened.
"Reporting to you, sir, there has been no news from the mutants we sent out."
A fourth-tier talent behind him replied in a low voice.
"How long have you been gone?"
Jin Tu frowned, an impulse brewing in his heart, wondering whether he should personally go to the Tokyo mining area.
"They've been gone for over an hour, they should be back soon."
As the fourth-tier talent's voice fell, Jin Tu's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he saw a great commotion appear on the outskirts of the Black Forest, with a large number of mutated beasts and mutated birds rushing out from it.
"Sir, should we send men to hunt down and kill all those mutated beasts?"
In the past, they would not need to ask for permission, and their hunting teams would take action on their own. But today, something was clearly wrong with the Black Forest, which even alarmed their camp leader, Lord Jintu.
Jintu did not agree, but continued to stare at the towering mountains in the black forest, his gaze seemingly fixed on a certain figure.
Two weeks ago, he learned from a message sent by his distant uncle that his older brother had arrived.
His uncle warned him that Glass Mingyuan had brought eight attendants, which immediately suppressed Jintu's murderous intent.
With his current talent and strength, he is not afraid of Glass Mingyuan at all. However, those eight attendants are all attendant mechs, ordered to protect Glass Mingyuan's safety.
If he couldn't deal with the eight servants, he wouldn't even be able to get close to Glass Mingyuan.
"Go! Slaughter all those mutated beasts!"
Upon hearing the order, the fourth-tier talent was overjoyed and was about to order his hunting team to take action. However, Jin Tu's next words puzzled him, but he dared not disobey Jin Tu's order.
"Kill them, that's enough. Don't let those mutated beasts storm into Tokyo. As for the items dropped by the mutated beasts, don't touch them."
He couldn't give Glass Mingyuan any excuse right now. During this period, Jintu had been suppressing the talented individuals below him, precisely because he was worried that these people would provoke his brother.
At the same time, he also ordered the incorporation of all the small and medium-sized camps in the ruins of Tokyo, in order to strengthen the strength of the Ash Earth Camp in case of emergency.
Yes~
The fourth-tier talent opened its mouth, but ultimately chose to obey.
On the dry, cracked wasteland, more than a dozen gifted individuals stood ready, for there were too many mutated beasts and mutated birds running out of the black forest ahead, numbering in the thousands at a glance.
"To kill or not to kill?"
"Yes, if we don't kill them, are we just going to let those mutated beasts storm into Tokyo?"
Many talented individuals had a greedy excitement in their eyes. If they could kill all the mutated beasts in front of them, they might be able to get a lot of source crystals, and if they were lucky, they might even get talent source crystals.
Just when everyone was about to reach their limit, someone noticed a figure rapidly approaching from behind.
"Captain~ The captain is here."
Murong Shan returned from Jintu and, as a fourth-tier talent user, became the temporary captain of this hunting team.
It was called a temporary team only because Murong Shan had the strongest talent and could overpower everyone else present.
These gifted individuals excelled in speed, agility, and movement. Although they held a hint of disdain for Murong Shan in their eyes, they were still quite obedient.
After all, in the wasteland world, everything is based on strength.
Noticing the expressions in everyone's eyes, Murong Shan glanced back at the dilapidated forty-story building behind him, then looked away and continued to look at the group of people who had temporarily gathered together.
"Murong Shan, what's your explanation?"
One of the sinister voices rang out. Many members of the guard team were disappointed that only Murong Shan was going to meet Lord Jintu, but unfortunately, Lord Jintu was not far away.
Even if some of them harbored resentment, they dared not vent it in public.
As soon as the sinister-looking man asked the question, the other talented individuals immediately filled with anticipation.
It should be noted that, in the past, when a hunting team hunted a mutated beast, the team members would receive half of the reward based on the actual combat, while the other half would be handed over to the camp.
Behind them, at least several thousand mutated beasts and birds rushed out of the black forest.
If they were incredibly lucky, it's unimaginable how many benefits this makeshift duty team would receive.
Murong Shan looked around at everyone, took a deep breath, and said, "Kill all the mutated beasts and birds that rush out. We can't let any of them get into Tokyo City."
As soon as the words were spoken, the talented individuals let out excited whistles, eager to turn around and rush towards the mutated beasts that had just emerged from the black forest.
"Kill the mutated beasts and mutated birds, but don't take any of the loot they drop."
"What?!"
"Murong Shan! Are you insane?!"
"Captain Murong, what's going on? This is different from the usual rules!"
"Yes, Murong Shan, even though you are the captain, you can't keep all the loot dropped by the mutated beasts for yourself! That doesn't make sense."
Seeing the group of team members in front of him completely unleash their power, some of the talented individuals even revealed fierce glints in their eyes, almost ready to attack him.
Murong Shan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Who dares to disobey Lord Jintu's orders?"
Upon hearing that it was Lord Jintu's order, the few talented individuals who had been so arrogant just moments before immediately fell silent, and a hint of suspicion appeared in their eyes as they looked at Murong Shan.
The sinister-looking man said in a chilling tone, "Murong Shan, you wouldn't be falsely claiming to be acting on the Grand Commander's orders, would you?"
"We've never heard of anything that can't be shared among those who kill mutated beasts."
A cold glint flashed in Murong Shan's eyes as he stared at the sinister-looking man and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Shangguan Yu, if you don't believe me, Lord Jintu is in the building behind us. You can go and ask him yourself."
Blocked, Shangguan Yu glanced at his companions and told them to go ask Lord Jintu. But even if he had a hundred lives, Shangguan Yu wouldn't dare to do it.
But he was unwilling to give up what the mutated beast dropped.
Just as Shangguan Yu was about to speak, a woman beside him tugged at his clothes and reminded him.
"Follow orders."
In the Ash Earth camp, their heaven is Lord Ash Earth, and they must obey Lord Ash Earth's orders unconditionally.
"Okay~"
Shangguan Yu turned and left with a gloomy expression, and the other talented individuals also turned and left. Watching their departing figures, Murong Shan felt a sense of confusion.
There was a hint of worry in this confusion, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Lord Jintu, is something big about to happen?"
Murong Shan glanced back at the forty-story building, then looked away and quickly followed the team members.
Compared to the beginning, this group of gifted individuals has lost their motivation, but a few of them still have a glimmer of drive in their hearts.
Although they did not know why Lord Jintu would give such an order, they knew that obeying orders was never wrong.
Soon, the group rushed out of the dry wilderness and came to a ravine hundreds of feet wide in front of them, where there were already many mutated beasts below.
These mutated beasts were running wildly to the left and right, trying to bypass the deep trench and escape to other places.
Murong Shan arrived at the edge of the deep chasm cliff, and stepped on some loose stones that rolled down into the chasm below. He could see fear in the eyes of some of the mutated beasts.
What exactly happened in the Black Forest?
This thought not only arose in Murong Shan's mind, but also puzzled Shangguan Yu and the rest of their team.
Black Forest?
They glanced together at the dark forest on the other side of the deep trench, where they could still see thick smoke rising.
"Don't hesitate any longer, deal with these mutated beasts as soon as possible so we can go back and rest sooner."
Originally assigned to monitor the Black Forest, the ten men were now tasked with hunting mutated beasts, and their morale was low.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Ten figures suddenly flew down, some leaving ripples in the water as they plummeted downwards.
A figure moved like lightning, instantly landing among the mutated beasts below, with bolts of purple lightning constantly exploding and tearing apart their flesh.
Ten figures suddenly appeared in the mutated beast horde, slaughtering in different directions.
Ambushed by a powerful gifted individual, the mutated beasts that had escaped the Black Forest fled like frightened birds, running wildly towards both ends of the deep trench. Some even climbed the sheer cliffs of the trench in an attempt to escape their fate of being slaughtered.
However, these ordinary mutated beasts could not escape the clutches of the hunting team.
Ten figures, ten gifted individuals, all of them at the third tier of talent, were more skilled in movement, agility, and speed, and when they ran, they were in no way inferior to mutated beasts.
Their speed, over short distances, far surpasses that of mutated beasts.
"Pfft~"
After killing more than ten mutated beasts, Shangguan Yu's gloom was gradually replaced by bloodlust. The purple arcs of electricity in his hands kept flashing, making him more and more excited and frenzied.
It ran straight through, leaving behind a purple trail of electric light that stretched from one Z to another.
Wherever they went, the corpses of mutated beasts littered the ground, and blood instantly filled the deep trenches and valleys. The mutated beasts that escaped the fastest kept wailing, as if begging to be spared.
However, the ten gifted individuals unleashed all their unique talents and abilities, quickly turning the valley floor into a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.
After rushing for dozens of miles, Shangguan Yu's legs were covered in blood. He stood on the back of a mutated rhinoceros with a single horn, looking down at the sea of corpses piled up like small mountains all around him.
Behind him, there were dozens of places shimmering with light.
That was the source crystal dropped by the mutated beast that had been killed, but he didn't even glance at it.
Even if he disliked Murong Shan, Jin Tu was like an insurmountable barrier above him. No matter what Shangguan Yu thought about Jin Tu's orders, he would obey them completely.
Looking back at the other battlefields, several figures flew past at high speed, and one after another, mutated birds fell from the gray-yellow sky above the deep trench.
On a wall in the deep trench, Murong Shan killed more than thirty stone beasts in succession. Looking at their terrified faces, which resembled human faces, Murong Shan turned his head again to look at the black forest on the other side of the trench.
"What on earth is it that makes these mutated beasts so afraid? Could that thing cross this deep chasm and reach the ruins of Tokyo?"
In the black forest, Jiang Xiaochen, Green Eyes, and the other nine figures ran at high speed, their mutated beasts running wildly, determined to kill all the mutated beasts and birds that were about to escape from the black forest.
The Tokyo mining area has changed hands. They no longer need the mutated beasts and birds; they intend to hunt them all down.
As for the source crystals that the mutated beasts might drop, they should all be handed over to that person.
