The End Of The World’s Poisonous Mom And Monster Baby

Volume 3 Chapter 80 The First Confrontation

The external construction of Jiangcheng was quickly completed. Under Shao Qing’s deterrence, there was no incident where someone ran into the zombie area and was bitten.

Everything is proceeding peacefully and smoothly.

On the twelfth day after the relocation, the group organized by the Qian family was finally formed. The group that formed was much less than when it was in the meeting. For example, Meng Shen, who had a better relationship with Shao Qing and knew Yan Qiyue, did not participate.

With the formation of this group, people from all directions turned their attention to Jiangcheng.

Many people were waiting for this war. Whether it was on Shao Qing’s side or the Qian family’s side, Shao Qing was the most calm.

Shao Qing commanded the people under her hands. After all the fortifications were completed, she quietly planted vegetables in her garden.

All the efforts that should be done have been done. So all they can do now is to wait quietly for this war.

Just as the team led by the Qian family gathered and approached Jiangcheng, Yan Qiyue and Yin Ye brought Shao Qing news. It was unclear whether it was good or bad.

They discovered that all the toxins in the soil originated from the water and the toxins in the water were not naturally formed.

In other words, someone poisoned it.

The two of them studied all night and found that the water and soil in Jiangcheng were pure and free of toxins, while the water and soil outside contained certain toxins.

There were a lot more toxins within the water.

After discovering this, the two of them first went to the riverside behind Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng was called Jiangcheng because it had a river behind it*.

* Jiang = river

This river was not as long as the Yan river, but has nurtured generations of people in Jiangcheng.

After studying it, they found that there was no poison in the river water. They then took someone to the Yan River to collect samples and found that there was poison there.

Because Jiangcheng was currently in a crisis, they did not follow Yan river all the way to its source of toxins and returned after collecting samples.

After returning, they discovered through research that the toxins in the Yan river were added by humans.

This is a very coincidental incident because Yan river is the longest and largest river in the country. It passed through 99% of the cities in the country. Especially after the end of the world, almost all survivor bases were built by the Yan River and used the water from Yan River.

Even if it didn’t rely on Yan river, it was a tributary of Yan River. Even Yan Qiyue suspected that several other relatively large rivers had toxins flowing into it from there.

So why did Jiang Cheng survive the disaster?

There are only two possibilities. The first is that Jiangcheng’s guards were relatively tight, so the opponent had no chance to poison it. This possibility was relatively small because no one would watch the river all the time. Poisoning is a very easy matter to accomplish.

The second is that someone deliberately framed Jiangcheng.

The current situation must have been designed by that person too. They wanted to ruin Jiangcheng.

After receiving this news, Shao Qing relaxed a lot. Some people had poisoned it. In fact, it was the best result. The force of nature is irresistible. If these toxins were caused by the deterioration of the environment, then there was nothing to be done. If someone poisoned it, there would definitely be a solution.

“What we have to do now is to prepare for the battle. This battle is about to start. Even if we send someone to tell them that the Yan river was poisoned, they will not believe it. Only after knowing whose fist is bigger would they listen to what we say.”

Shao Qing sneered: “Human desire is the most terrifying thing in this world. Desire will dominate this war. Nothing can stop it. The only thing that can end it is blood!”

“This is one thing that will be unavoidable in the war. Many people because of their desires will lose their lives in this battle. This is inevitable. All we can do is protect ourselves, beat them, and fight for the right to speak. At the same time, we need to establish the status of Jiangcheng.” Mulin said coldly: “Ah Qing, you don’t have to feel sorry for those people. Their life is a life, aren’t our lives a life too?”

“I know.” Shao Qing stood up and looked at the city wall not far away: “I am not alone anymore. Jiangcheng is not the same as before. Now there are tens of thousands of lives in my hands. I am a leader. I must consider everyone who lives under my rule. I only hope that after this war is over, there will be no other people who dare to plan against Jiangcheng.”

“That thinking is correct.” Mulin shrugged “The night patrol team should turn from six into twelve since the battle is about to begin. Things can erupt at any time so it is best to be careful.”

“En.” Shao Qing nodded, and carefully planted the potatoes. The sprouting potatoes were found in a cellar. Some radishes that had blossomed were also found there.

They were all brought back by members of the search team. The potatoes had sprouted and there was no way to eat them, otherwise they could be easily poisoned. Shao Qing cut them all into slices and planted them.

Potatoes easily thrive in various situations so it is relatively easier to plant. Radishes were a bit more troublesome. You can only wait for the seeds on the radish flowers to plant them.

The geographical location of Jiangcheng was very good. It was close to the mountains and water, plus transportation was convenient. Of course, the most important thing is that the climate is good and all kinds of crops can be grown.

After Shao Qing washed her hands, she sat in front of the sofa and started to look at the map. She was not without ambition, but she hadn’t shown it before. In addition, her ambition was not that big, living well with her family was enough. Now that the situation was pressing, she had no choice but to stand up. What followed was an explosion of ambition and aspiration.

When she honestly lived in the corner with her family and friends, someone pointed their fingers at them and made them feel uneasy forcing her to stand in the forefront.

So now that she has stepped forward, she must do it thoroughly and turn Jiangcheng into the largest base, with the most detached status.

Since superb strength can’t protect one’s relatives and friends, what about absolute power?

There was an old saying that you must send Buddha all the way to the West as in you must do everything thoroughly. Shao Qing was such a person. It’s okay if you don’t do certain things. But if you do it, you must do it perfectly.

For example, right now.

If you look at the map alone, the geographic location of Jiangcheng was even better than that of Jing Du. The only thing inferior to Jing Du was that it was slightly remote.

Yet the remoteness was solved, especially during the last days. As long as a road is well built, it will not be a problem at all.

Shao Qing understood this very well. She planned the future step by step, and the premise behind those plans for the future was that she must win this battle.

If she loses, all her plans will be in vain. If she wins, then she will have risen from the ground.

The people gathered by the Qian family will soon reach the vicinity of Jiangcheng, then they will be stationed down and form a confrontation with Jiangcheng. Shao Qing knew that the battle was about to begin. There were so many people, the Qian family knew that they couldn’t afford delaying it.

With so many people, how much ration would they need every day?

Right now was the time when food was most scarce. They might even become bankrupt preparing for this battle. Shao Qing can already read their plans. It was nothing more than “after winning, we can get the land without pollution. With that much food, we can get as much as we need.”

It stands to reason that as long as Shao Qing extended the battle, it would be Shao Qing’s win. After all, Shao Qing could rely on Jiangcheng with its natural defenses to slowly grind it out. Once they have no rations, this battle will be defeated by itself.

It simply couldn’t be easier to win.

But Shao Qing didn’t choose the simplest and most labor-saving method. She chose to fight head-on.

On the same night that the group of people on the opposite side arrived in Jiangcheng, they launched a raid. The time of the raid was exactly four or five o’clock in the morning. This time was when normal people would be the most exhausted and the most sleepy.

It stands to reason that the success rate of the raid at this time was the greatest, but they forgot that in addition to humans in Jiangcheng, there were thousands of zombies.

Jiangcheng’s patrol team was divided into two groups, one group was composed of humans and the other group was composed of zombies. The human patrol team was responsible for patrols during the day, that is, from eight in the morning to eight in the evening.

The zombie patrol team was responsible for patrolling at night, that is to say, from eight o’clock in the evening to eight o’clock in the morning. They didn’t even know the concept of sleepiness, so even if they patrol all night, it would not be a problem.

It can be said that there was no idle time within their 24 hour day.

Thought there would be no one when you come for a sneak attack at midnight? The attacking striker team just sneaked into Jiangcheng when they heard the harsh alarm sound. The gate of Jiangcheng opened suddenly, and zombies burst out.

Those who came for the sneak attack were divided into two teams, attackers and supports. Several hundred attackers were submerged in a sea of zombies in an instant. Thousands of backups did not last two minutes.

The rest of the reinforcements immediately ran away. They knew what was going wrong, so they had to retreat strategically.

Thus the Qian family’s first sneak attack ended in the annihilation of the entire army. There were nearly two thousand superhumans who lost their lives. The next day, people from the Qian family got up and saw Jiangcheng. At the doorway, two pyramids were piled up with corpses, towering into the sky.

The chief of the Qian family fell unconscious at the time and had to be sent for emergency help.

In the end, in order to prevent the plague, all two thousand corpses were burned on the spot. The ashes that were burned could have paved a path.

Shao Qing stood on the top of the city wall, watching trucks of ashes being transported out. The ones who died were all the backbone of mankind, all powerful superhumans. It would be a lie to say there was no heartache, but she couldn’t hold back at all. Otherwise it would be hers who would be hurt.

She was cruel and fierce, her only bottom line was the people who were protected by her wings. If people live with no obsessions, then what is the difference between them and a salted fish?

“The first battle hasn’t really started yet. Watch. After today, no one would dare to look down on Jiangcheng anymore.” Shao Qing murmured to herself while standing on top of the city.

When the war really started, the Qian family first pushed out a row of cannons. The black hole muzzle was all aimed at Jiangcheng. After the end of the world, there were many weapons that can’t be remanufactured. But most of the bases had some heavy thermal weapons.

Like this cannon. It was very powerful and was used to attack cities. They are also relatively easy to use.

Shao Qing changed her face slightly, her thinking has stagnated on superhumans, and she has forgotten about weapons.

This was her fault.

Shao Qing stood at the head of the city when the shells flew out after the other party gave an order. She slowly raised her hand. She hadn’t felt what it was like to have to overdraft her ability for a long time.

This time, it was the first time she tried her best since she was at rank 7.

Whether you were standing under the city wall or standing on top of the city wall, you can see green vines growing out of the city wall at a rapid rate. Layers of vines were intertwined to protect the entire city in the center.

At least the side facing the cannon was completely shielded by the shield woven out of vines. This scene was amazing. There were many wood-type superhumans, but none of them could do it like Shao Qing. Just by scope, it made people stunned.

And Shao Qing used only the most common vines.

The first layer of vines formed a wall higher than the city wall. When protecting Jiangcheng, the second layer of vines climbed up again to form a second layer of wall. Layer after layer, when the eighth layer was formed, the cannonball finally arrived.

The shells exploded on the vine wall. Broken leaves and branches, as well as light green sap dripped all over the ground. The vine wall was blasted one after another.

However, only two layers were blasted apart, there were still six layers remaining. Even the force of the vibration was removed by the several layers supporting it. The people standing on the city wall felt a slight shake under their feet, but that was all.

This was not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that the vine wall was still increasing layer by layer. On the Qian’s side, shells continued to be sent as if they didn’t care for the money. Yet, the speed of the explosion was not as fast as the production of the vine wall.

Those in charge of the Qian family were shocked. They had never seen a superhuman able to do this. After being shocked, they became angry.

One of the leaders jumped and shouted: “Continue shooting, I don’t believe her power is endless!”

The others’ eyes also brightened: “Yes, I don’t believe we can’t use up her powers!”

But within a few minutes, the following people had ugly expressions: “Patriarch, there are no more shells…”

After the end of the world, it was difficult enough to be fed properly, let alone make these thermal weapons. The military factory has long since ceased production. The artillery shells were limited. They had collected 500 shells this time, but they didn’t expect all of them to be used against the wall. It was fine that it hit the wall, but not even a single stone was hit.

It was all blocked by the vines. At this moment, the Qian family can be said to have almost no morale. They were bewildered. Is there really such a powerful superhuman? Someone who can resist hundreds of shells with one’s own strength without exhaustion.

Compared with the low morale of the Qian family, there were cheers in Jiangcheng. A strong Shao Qing means a strong Jiangcheng. This was why Shao Qing was the boss of their Jiangcheng.

In fact, Shao Qing was already overdrawn at this time. She hadn’t felt the feeling of overdrawing her powers for a long time. She suddenly felt soft and had a terrible headache.

But she must hold on and could not fall.

“First echelon, get ready!” Shao Qing shouted through gritted teeth.

“Yes!” Qin Zixi paid a respectful salute. Then, he took a few superhumans off the wall and began to prepare.

Hundreds of cages were pushed to the entrance. Inside the cages were very fierce mutant beasts. These mutant beasts were all tamed by the people Shao Qing sent out.

Just waiting for today’s battle.

Although the morale of the Qian family was low, they were already here. The result would be the same if they did or didn’t do anything, so they had to grit their teeth and make a move.

The superhumans that had been prepared early on began to move forward. This was interesting to say because they were almost to the gate of Jiangcheng, but they did not see the people from Jiangcheng show their heads.

The people on the Qian’s side thought that Jiangcheng was scared and did not dare to come out. But suddenly the gate of the city opened wide. A two-meter-high gorilla, completely black and looking particularly fierce walked in front.

Following behind were tigers, lions, leopards, and wolves. They were all very fierce beasts. Several smaller, more exquisite animals were in the middle.

Don’t look down at these small and exquisite animals. They were very docile before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, they were natural killers. Take cats as an example. They were small in size, fast, and their small claws were very sharp and could easily slice open a throat. Their teeth were even sharper and it could kill people effortlessly.

The first echelon of wild beasts rushed into the crowd quickly. Once they rushed into the crowd, they were killing unscrupulously. Only broken limbs and blood splashing around could be seen.

Some superhumans reacted quickly, such as those with ice-type abilities. They quickly froze a mutated animal. Those with earth-type abilities held up earth walls and shields as defense.

At this time, the second echelon in Jiangcheng also came out. The second echelon was composed of superhumans. The leader was Yan Hanqing. As soon as he raised his hand, a purple lightning bolt quickly fell down.

Coincidentally, there was a water based superhuman who had just formed a waterfall. He wanted to trap the mutant beasts and drown them in the middle. Yan Hanqing’s lightning fell onto the waterfall.

Water is able to conduct electricity. The lightning, which was already powerful, spread rapidly in the water. Some of them were relatively close to each other, and had poor luck. They were instantly electrocuted into a burnt crisp.

Those who were farther away were not immune. The propagation speed of lightning, especially in water, was very fast. Once the purple lightning fell from the sky, everyone was down on the ground. If they were lucky they still had a breath, but most laid on the ground dead.

The rest of the superhumans also started to make a move. They focused on the strongest in the crowd to stop them, so that they could not target the mutant beasts.

Without the obstacles of high-level superhumans, the mutant beasts were killing machines. Ordinary superhumans couldn’t resist at all. The land was swarmed with victims and blood covered the entire ground. Soon the ground was covered with a layer of corpses. When fighting, they would step on either a human arm or a pool of blood.

The scene was particularly tragic. If you look down from the sky, ignoring the colors of those superpowers, there was only a strip of red. That strip of red was like a drop of red ink dripping on white paper, quickly spreading out, slowly dying the earth red.

No one knew how many people had died. Only the living could feel their feet full of blood. The blood had submerged the tops of their shoes and the soles of their feet were all sticky and wet.

When they finally retreated, countless bloody footprints were left on both sides, extending to their respective camps. The pools of blood, after being slightly solidified, revealed a dark red color, slowly penetrating into the ground.

On the Qian family’s side, the momentum has dropped to the lowest level. They have lost thousands of people in the first head-on battle. These thousands of people were all superhumans with high ranks. The backbone of their dozens of bases was all lost in this battle.

The most important thing was that this was the first head-on confrontation and they already suffered heavy losses. What Jiang Cheng left behind were the corpses of dozens of beasts, very few people died.

As we all know, Jiangcheng has the most zombies. That is to say, Jiangcheng’s main force has not yet appeared. Some people in the Qian family team had already mentioned this: “It is better to retreat. If this continues, we will not even have the chance of having both sides suffering a loss.”
