Chapter 311: Heading to Order
"Commander!"
"Commander, you've come..."
The female warriors were surprised to see the figure that suddenly appeared on the city wall – a girl wearing a flowing green chiffon gown, with an enchanting figure like an elf, even her beautiful eyes were a special shade of green.
The girl referred to as the commander simply nodded, then extended a small hand, lightly tapping twice with her index finger. The vines that had bound the giant zombie, which were originally restraining it, suddenly transformed into sharp steel plates in an instant.
Swish, swish, swish...
Before the giant zombie could let out its final roar, the vines instantly crushed it into pieces. Completely losing its breath, even the bones, which bullets couldn't penetrate, became as fragile as cookies here.
"Why are you standing there? Go clean up the zombies!"
The commander's gaze was indifferent as she spoke lightly to one of the female warriors.
The female warriors felt a chill in their hearts, not daring to be negligent. They leaped down from the city wall, brandishing their long knives, slashing through the air with blade energy, and some even condensed their true energy into fists, smashing through the zombies blocking their way.
With only a defensive line formed by a few hundred female warriors, they swiftly cut down the seemingly endless zombie horde, leaving behind a ground covered with zombie corpses.
The girl stood on the city wall of Anqing City, gazing into the distance – the direction of Order.
"I wonder when I can return to Order," the girl couldn't help but silently think in her heart. Although she held the highest position among women in Anqing City, controlling the life and death of all the women in the entire base, she knew that in Order, leaders like her were numerous, each with ambitions, all aiming for the coveted position of commander.
Note that in Order, being a commander is far from the end. Beyond that, there are legion commanders who control tens of thousands of troops, as well as the Arbitration Group, appointed personally by the Lord and bestowed with divine powers. Not to mention the coveted position of the main mother, a position she dares not even think about.
Ruling over a base and commanding tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of young girls may sound impressive, but if given the choice to exchange it for a position serving directly by the Lord's side, most women in Order would probably choose to serve the Lord. After all, external power cannot compare to entering the true core of Order.
The girl had not given herself to the Lord, not because she was unwilling, on the contrary, she felt honored to dedicate her chastity to her faith. Moreover, they still carried the virginity rights bestowed by the Lord. However, she had not taken the initiative to do so because she was unwilling to be forgotten and discarded after the Lord deflowered her.
What she truly desired was to be by the Lord's side, even if it meant being a maid, a pet, or even a submissive dog. She wanted to present herself in the best light and have the Lord pluck her like a perfect flower when the time was right.
Withdrawing her gaze filled with longing, the girl turned and left.
Two days later...
Early in the morning, An Rushui woke up. She hadn't slept well last night, not because of the environment – Order had prepared separate bedrooms for those lucky enough to enter the main base, far better than the crowded dormitories before. The reason for her restless night was the anticipation of finally entering Order's main base. She wasn't the only one affected; all the girls in similar situations were too excited to sleep, appearing dazed and blurry-eyed throughout the night.
Not until the bell rang did the many girls hurriedly run down the stairs and gather in the open space in front of the door.
Soon, following the steps of a female warrior in charge of the matter, they entered the central area of the Anqing City base. This area was rarely allowed for entry except for genuine Order members.
Quickly coming into view for these girls was a green canopy towering over ten meters high. The lush jungle covered the entire central area of the base, resembling a forest in the midst of this concrete city.
In the central area of this steel and concrete city, the unexpected sight of such greenery made the girls marvel. The peculiar green plants seamlessly integrated into the surrounding buildings, appearing as if they were climbing on them. Vines climbing everywhere gave off a vibrant green, giving An Rushui the feeling that these plants originated from the same source.
"All these plants you see here are released by the Lord Commander's abilities. If someone with malicious intent enters here, they will be instantly strangled by these vines!"
The female warrior leading the way introduced to the girls with a hint of casualness.
"Hiss..."
An Rushui took in a sharp breath, unable to suppress a shiver. It felt as if these vines and vegetation were alive and staring at her intently.
The other girls also wore fearful expressions, afraid of being mistaken for harboring ill intentions and being strangled by these vines. No one would doubt the power of a commander with supernatural abilities.
"Haha... Just kidding, we grew these ourselves."
The female warrior laughed, teasingly dispelling the tension among the nervous girls. However, An Rushui didn't quite buy it. It clearly didn't look like a normal tree canopy growth, and the treehouses beneath the trees were obviously not constructed conventionally. It seemed that the one in control of the Anqing City base was likely a commander with extraordinary abilities, a high-ranking member of Order.
At this moment, An Rushui couldn't help but feel envious. If she could reach this level, it would undoubtedly make her whole life worthwhile. She was sure she could repay Meng Fei for her care.
The group of girls cautiously crossed the dense grassland and then entered an open area where several prepared helicopters were parked, along with female warriors who had been waiting for a while.
"They're here, let's go up..."
Dozens of uniquely beautiful girls, dressed in exquisite attire and carrying their respective luggage, followed their recommending female warrior and boarded the helicopters.
Rumbling...
The helicopters slowly took off and flew in the direction of Grizzly City.
Inside Anqing City, as they watched the departing helicopters, the thoughts of the many women varied. Envious glances were inevitably cast, and they couldn't help but wonder how long they would have to strive before qualifying to enter the main base and truly become part of Order.
A total of sixty beautiful girls were selected from Anqing City this time, with the majority being under the age of twenty, and the oldest not exceeding 25. The youngest among them was barely thirteen, blossoming and youthful.
Through the glass of the aircraft, the girls curiously looked down at the land below. Since the apocalypse, for most of them, it was the first time leaving Anqing City.
With transportation cut off, roaming zombie hordes, and constant attacks from various zombie animals and even humans, the vast majority of people in the apocalypse spent their entire lives confined to small areas, unable to traverse even a city.
After losing the management of the entire planet, humanity seemed to revert to a primitive society, becoming isolated tribes.
On the Earth's surface, remnants of broken walls were everywhere, with many places still bearing the scars of burning and explosions. Human activity decreased, and various vegetation began to thrive again.
An Rushui's heart couldn't help but start to feel a bit uneasy. Could it be that apart from Order, there were no other gathering places for humans on Earth? Was human civilization on the brink of collapse?
As the helicopter flew over two walled cities with signs of habitation inside, resembling cities from before the apocalypse, the curious gazes of the girls finally came to a rest.
"The two cities you just saw, similar to Anqing City, are also managed by Order, just a bit larger than Anqing City," Meng Fei's voice came from beside An Rushui, bringing her back to reality. Several nearby girls looked at her with awe and curiosity.
"Meng Fei, does it mean that apart from the regions controlled by Order, there are no human activities elsewhere? Are there no other cities restored?" An Rushui asked with some confusion.
Meng Fei let out a disdainful chuckle.
"I have followed the Legion Commander to fight in five provinces and have never seen a civilized area beyond Order, never seen a city outside of Order restored to its pre-apocalyptic state, just like the abandoned cities you saw before."
