Super Gene Hunting Ground

Under the current conditions, neither Nanmu City nor Shanyun City have a professional army on duty 24/7.

Most people engage in labor during peacetime and come together for combat when needed. After all, with the current scarcity of the population and labor, everyone needs to participate in labor such as ice fishing to survive and develop.

Shanyun City has now formed an elite troop of 200 men, who don't need to ice fish but can still obtain ample evolution resources. Their main duty is to act as a rapid response team that can engage in combat at any moment to deal with unforeseen situations.

Xiao Zhe has also established such a team in Nanmu City, though it only has around a hundred people.

When Xia Luo was defending Star Moon Town, despite having a thousand elites, they still had to engage in labor every day, ice fishing in the lake.

"Isn't 200 people a little too few?" Tan Zong asked.

"Not at all. They are specially prepared for Yang Xiao's surprise attacks. As long as they can hold off for about half an hour, we can quickly organize a larger force here to respond. After all, during the day people are ice fishing, and at night they rest and sleep; most people are gathered together, so it's easy to assemble."

"Boss, you've recently broken through to the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, and your Soul Skill must have improved a lot, right? Although Nanmu City is at level 15, only one level higher than us, Yang Xiao wouldn't be so reckless as to come over seeking death, right?"

When talking about the newly acquired Soul Skill, Yue Ying couldn't help but smile and said:

"Last time, the Soul Skill demonstrated by that kid Yang Xiao was powerful, but this time, I'm not afraid of him. I've got new Soul Skills too, and I'm actually hoping he will come and try to surprise attack us, so I can give him a taste of his own medicine."

"Boss, it's bad, terrible news! People from Nanmu City are attacking us!"

Suddenly, a frightened shout came from outside followed by a flurry of running footsteps. The door was slammed open, and one of Yue Ying's subordinates rushed in, gasping for air and exclaimed:

"Boss, it's bad! People from Nanmu City have crossed Star Moon Lake and are attacking us!"

The hall fell into a deadly silence as Yue Ying and the others stared dumbfounded at the messenger who had burst in.

"Damn it, I've just jinxed it!"

Yue Ying subconsciously touched his mouth. He naturally didn't really hope for Yang Xiao to launch a surprise attack now. It was just a bit of bragging, but he didn't expect that even boasting was risky and getting instantly slapped in the face.

"Damn it, I'm just about to take revenge on Yang Xiao, and he actually shows up at our door? Come on, brothers, follow me out, it's a fight to the death. Take advantage of their fatigue as soon as they arrive, hit them with a fatal blow, and ensure they don't return."

Yue Ying immediately led his people towards Star Moon Lake outside the city.

As the leader, he couldn't show any cowardice.

In accordance with the emergency response measures that Yue Ying had previously established, people who were scattered around and ice fishing were now getting the alarm and urgently gathering, moving towards the direction where Yang Xiao and his group were coming.

"How many of them are there?"

Yue Ying asked as he ran.

"Not sure, but according to the scouts' report, there's a black mass on the ice, about a thousand or two thousand people."

"Damn, they think they can attack Shanyun City with just two thousand men? Go, gather all the people who can fight, and surround them."

"Yes."

....

Yang Xiao, riding on a Flame Horse, led the charge at the front. Suddenly, he spotted several flying black dots in the sky ahead and immediately took out his Golden Eagle Bow. While perched on the horseback, he drew the bow and aimed forward.

The Flame Horse ran at an extremely high speed and was incredibly stable, providing Yang Xiao with a ride that felt almost as smooth as riding on a high-speed train before the apocalypse, with barely any jolting.

Huang Wen and the others also saw the flying black dots ahead and with a whoosh of their massive wings, accompanied Deng Xiao and others in the encirclement.

"It might be the enemy's patrol, be careful, encircle them and don't let any escape."

Over three hundred birds charged straight over.

The patrol group from Shanyun City consisted of twenty bird people, who, seeing that the situation was awry, immediately turned tail and flew back toward Shanyun City.

"Damn, run, there are too many of them, and they're coming on strong!"

"Fuck, those are people from Nanmu City, run, report to the boss quickly; they're attacking us."

...

The patrol team from Shanyun City immediately retreated.

Yang Xiao slapped his Flame Horse and chased after them like the wind, soon he overtook them, turned his horse around, and drew his bow to shoot arrows.

An Arrow Shadow shot through the air, followed by two screams as two bird people fell from the sky.

Yang Xiao kept shooting arrows, swiftly downing six people.

The remaining ones panicked and fired several arrows at Yang Xiao, but the Flame Horse dodged from left to right on its own, causing their arrows to miss the target.

At this moment, Huang Wen and others had closed in, and a rain of Feathered Arrows came flying; a series of screams echoed, and all but two bird people with Intermediate Primordial Gene panicked and fled, while the rest were shot down.

Yang Xiao spurred his horse and gave chase, bent his bow, and shot down one more, while the other had already escaped too far.

"Boss, what do we do?"

"Speed up the advance, we must attack and enter the stronghold at Star Moon Lake's shore, Star Moon Tower Square, before they can bring in reinforcements."

Star Moon Tower is an ancient tower with a history of several hundred years, unscathed by the apocalypse crisis, and a Genetic Store appeared on the square in front of the tower.

Since the Genetic Store is located on the shore of Star Moon Lake, it has become the most frequented trading spot by the people of Shanyun City after ice fishing in Star Moon Lake.

Star Moon Tower used to be a famous tourist attraction; tourists visiting Shanyun City would be sure to climb the tower to take in the expansive view of Star Moon Lake.

An emergency team of 200, set up by Yue Ying, was also stationed at Star Moon Tower's stronghold.

For Yang Xiao and the others, a distance of about five kilometers was a piece of cake.

Yang Xiao rode like lightning, galloping away on the Flame Horse, and even Xia Luo and the rest struggled to keep up. This was with Yang Xiao holding back the Flame Horse's speed; otherwise, they wouldn't even see a horse's behind.

"I'm floored," Long Yongjun panted.

Xia Luo laughed:

"Even if you took a Viagra, could you keep up this pace? Can't you see that the Flame Horse isn't ordinary?"

"After conquering Shanyun City, the boss said he would let us go to the desert for training. Then I will also get a Flame Horse to ride; it's really cool!"

...

One thousand five hundred soldiers quickly pushed with their wooden poles, bowed their bodies, and slid on the ice surface like darts.

The fleeing bird person from Shanyun City flew to Star Moon Tower and shouted:

"It's bad, people from Nanmu City are coming to kill us, gather urgently, counterattack..."

The square was originally bustling with over a hundred people trading in the Genetic Store, and some guards; hearing the panicked shouts of the patrol members, it turned into complete chaos, and people scattered in all directions.

"What's the panic? Gather urgently!"

A tall young man roared, immediately quieting the crowd. His name was Fan Wei; he was in charge of Star Moon Tower and also the Great Captain of the emergency Guard Team.
