Chapter 1601: Chapter 933: Infiltrating Hui’an Island
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of it. Currently, the most powerful person in the Jingzhou military is General Hong Tianyi.”
Liang Yuan was immediately drawn to this name and asked, “Hong Tianyi?”
“Yes, he is our Jingzhou military’s top expert, originally from the special forces. His gene recombination progress is as high as 89%, making him the idol of all personnel in the Jingzhou Military District.”
“This time the defeat of the Divine Country’s deity was because he stepped in.”
Liang Yuan immediately asked, “What type of superpower does this person have?”
Zhang Yue spoke solemnly, “To be honest, even I can’t quite understand what type of superpower user he is.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
Liang Yuan asked, puzzled.
Zhang Yue said, “When Hong Tianyi acts, often it only takes a single move to kill an enemy. Moreover, his methods are diverse—handgun, sniper rifle, grenade, missile, even cold weapons can become his tools.”
“Whenever he acts, there’s no failure.”
Liang Yuan still didn’t understand and asked, “How exactly does he attack the enemy?”
“I don’t know. For instance, if he has a gun, whenever he fires it, the enemy, whether they’re a speed type or defensive ability user, will inevitably get hit and injured.”
“He is also known as our army’s top marksman.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Hit with a single shot?
This kind of ability sounds somewhat like… Causal skills?
It’s worth noting that there is a skill in Liang Yuan’s skill bar with a similar effect.
That is the [Lucky Anchor Point]!
As a green quality skill, Liang Yuan doesn’t actually use [Lucky Anchor Point] much.
Because when fighting against enemies, it’s almost always close-range combat in genetic form, with hardly any chance of dodging.
So the hit effect isn’t that important.
Because even if you hit the opponent, they can still endure it.
Without an absolute defense-breaking situation, hitting the opponent doesn’t necessarily mean you can kill them.
So Liang Yuan suspects that this Hong Tianyi might possess a similar skill.
At least that’s how Zhang Yue describes it.
But if one relies solely on causal abilities to achieve a hit effect, it can’t achieve a guaranteed kill effect.
Therefore, Hong Tianyi probably has other abilities.
Something that surprised Liang Yuan was Hong Tianyi’s gene recombination progress.
It’s unexpectedly as high as 89%!
It’s noteworthy that among the many superpower users he’s encountered, this is the first time he’s heard of someone cultivating their gene recombination progress to such a high level.
Of course, besides himself.
“It seems the Jingzhou military indeed has some strength if they can cultivate such an expert.”
Liang Yuan thought to himself, “I wonder if the Jingzhou military has any equipment to assist in cultivating gene recombination, otherwise, based on normal cultivation speed, it’s impossible for someone to progress so quickly.”
It’s worth noting that even Jin Shirong and Wu Yaobang, who have unlimited clones, can use them to assist in cultivation, but their cultivation progress is only just over 80%.
Jin Shirong spends all day in the cultivation room, using genetic equipment daily for assistance, to achieve this cultivation result.
If Hong Tianyi is without auxiliary equipment and relies purely on himself, Liang Yuan is skeptical.
Not only because he knows that the difficulty of gene recombination increases in later stages,
but also because he knows that causal-type gene recombination is more difficult than other types of superpowers.
Liang Yuan asked, “What is this floating island called? Who is leading the camp?”
“This island is called Huian Island. It was discovered above Huian in Jingzhou, hence the name Huian.”
“Currently, the island is guarded by our camp leader Li Hu, who received orders from above to come here and work with Kerry Technology to fortify and intercept the Divine Country.”
“However, our camp leader looks down on such civilian forces as Kerry Technology, so he’s planning to test James’ strength first.”
“Unexpectedly, he managed to capture James in a single move, which led to the current coercion plan.”
As Zhang Yue spoke, a bitterness brewed in his heart.
At first, he too saw how easily James, the head of Kerry Technology, was captured, and he somewhat looked down on the mere Kerry Technology shelter.
Who would have thought that behind Kerry Technology, there was this Yangshan Shelter.
The man named Liang in front of him is incredibly strong, incredibly hard to read.
He doesn’t know if this person can take Huian Island.
If he fails to take Huian Island, his betrayal of the military this time will certainly affect his family’s future.
“How strong is Li Hu? Is he the camp’s top expert?”
Liang Yuan asked indifferently.
Zhang Yue nodded, “Yes, the Jingzhou military speaks with strength now; whoever has the power is promoted.”
“Li Hu was originally an ordinary artilleryman. It was only after awakening his fire attribute superpower that he rose all the way to become the camp leader.”
“His current cultivation progress should be around 66% in gene recombination, which is considered above average among camp leader level.”
Liang Yuan heard this and couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly, “Only 66%? How could someone with this level of strength capture James?”
It’s worth noting that James’ gene recombination progress has reached over 80%. When he fought against Jin Shirong, he almost completely crushed him.
How could Li Hu, a mere superpower user with a gene recombination progress of 66%, silently capture James?
Zhang Yue shook his head, “That I don’t know. Anyway, the result was that James was easily captured by Li Hu.”
Liang Yuan suppressed his inner doubts and became a bit wary of this Li Hu.
It seems the other party probably has other means.
Soon, Zhang Yue zigzagged along, leading Liang Yuan to a city ahead.
Within the city, there were numerous buildings and many people moving along the streets.
Behind these buildings, there were several military fortresses, with many people dressed as soldiers patrolling.
Ships were also patrolling in the sky.
“This is the residential area of Hui’an Island, where around five thousand people live. They are both shelter residents and family members of the troops.”
“How many soldiers are there on this Floating Island?” Liang Yuan asked.
Zhang Yue replied, “About more than two thousand.”
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: “More than two thousand? How can a battalion have so many people?”
Generally, the strength of a battalion, at most, is only about a thousand people.
Of course, this was the standard before the end of the world.
Then Zhang Yue said, “After the apocalypse, the military lost quite a few people, and then they expanded recruitment once.”
“However, during this expansion, many had private intentions, wanting to expand their troop numbers as much as possible, so the number of recruits in many units actually exceeded the limits long ago.”
“Our Hui’an Island has more than two thousand people, which isn’t the most excessive.”
“But now in this post-apocalyptic world, no one will tell you that you have too many people. The more people you gather, the more others respect you.”
“On the contrary, if you have fewer troops, you will be looked down upon.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately understood. It seems the Jingzhou military isn’t a monolith; there should be competition within.
Liang Yuan asked again, “Are there other forces in Jingzhou now? Are all Floating Islands and Floating Islands under Jingzhou military control?”
“Yes.”
“And the original officials in Beijing?”
“Unknown, now those controlling the military are the top experts who awakened their superpowers at the start and fought their way up step by step.”
“Even the original second-generation military, as long as they don’t have enough strength, have been swallowed up by others.”
“The current Jingzhou military is no longer the military it was before the apocalypse.”
Zhang Yue spoke frankly, without concealing anything.
Liang Yuan chuckled, not surprised by this.
He had anticipated such a situation.
“Haha, these people are quite clever, still knowing how to use the old government’s name to organize suppression of the Divine Country and other civilian forces.”
“They wouldn’t be thinking of unifying all the Dragon Country shelters, would they?”
Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, and said, “I’m not very sure about others, but Hong Tianyi does have this idea.”
“After becoming the military’s top expert, he has been claiming that he wants to restore the glory of the Dragon Country, save its people, and establish a super shelter.”
“Many of us followed him because of this slogan.”
Liang Yuan asked, “So how many shelters have you unified now? What is the population?”
“In the entire Jingzhou province, forty-two Floating Islands and Floating Islands are now all under military control.”
“The total population on various Floating Islands and Floating Islands has also exceeded one hundred thousand.”
Liang Yuan was surprised: “One hundred thousand?”
This population is twice that of the Yangshan Shelter.
The Yangshan Island, including Bud and Kerry Technology, has a combined population of less than fifty thousand.
Of course, Jingzhou originally was a populous province, capable of accommodating a population of tens of millions.
Now, after a flood, only one hundred thousand remains; this mortality rate is indeed terrifying.
Yet among the remaining one hundred thousand, except for those who were particularly lucky, most should have certain abilities.
Otherwise, there would be no way to survive in such an environment.
Jingzhou, with its huge population base, surely has a lot of talent, various types of superpower users.
In this way, there would definitely be no shortage of extraordinary figures.
While talking, the two had reached the town near Hui’an Island.
Liang Yuan didn’t enter right away but pulled Zhang Yue into the shadows.
He also entered the shadow state himself, then stealthily moved within the shadows into the town.
This town’s level of development is no different from before the apocalypse.
Cement roads, tall buildings, and the necessary infrastructure already exist in the town.
Many shops along the street have opened, with residents shopping and buying goods.
Liang Yuan didn’t linger, passed through the town, and arrived at the military camp in the rear.
Near the military camp, there were tall watchtowers and a huge alert magic array.
Liang Yuan noticed that inside the military camp, there were also many buildings, and at the very center was the tallest building.
Zhang Yue reminded within the shadow: “That building is where the core of the military camp is located.”
“We usually hold meetings over there.”
“Dr. Yin’s laboratory might be inside, and our battalion commander’s office is also there.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered, not easily believing Zhang Yue.
He wasn’t in a hurry either, so he waited in the nearby shadow.
