Chapter 59 – Battle of the Sequences! A Gathering of the Strong!

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"Information is scarce, so I'll give you a brief rundown on how things work between the Sequences!"

"The so-called Sequence is actually an honorary title and a benefit awarded based on the evaluation of a Guardian from a Large-scale Treasure Land or higher. You should already know this."

"However, in the early stages, while the strength of the Sequences is generally weak, it's common for someone's power to skyrocket due to a single stroke of luck."

"Therefore, before Level 5, all Sequences are actually unranked in terms of their numbers. Their authority within the Treasure Lands is identical."

"To ensure fair competition between Sequences, if we Treasure Land Guardians encounter multiple Sequences competing against each other, we will not disclose any information regarding the Trials!"

"Furthermore, whenever Sequences meet within a Treasure Land, we Treasure Land Guardians will reassign their numbers. Your title of Sequence 2 will make you the prey of every other Sequence here."

"Oh, another Sequence just entered. So far, there are four: Sequence 2, Sequence 7, Sequence 18, and Sequence 23."

"Just a heads-up: since you obtained your Sequence title quite early, I personally haven't been able to evaluate your current combat capabilities. But I'm quite familiar with this Sequence 18-he's a terrifying fellow."

"I hope you can defend your Sequence title by the time this Treasure Land concludes. When that time comes, I'll have a chat with you."

After giving a brief explanation of the Treasure Land Guardians' stance on the Sequences, the Silver-haired Guardian turned and slipped out of the Giant Egg, leaving Wen Yu to his thoughts.

"Heh."

Wen Yu briefly processed the Silver-haired Guardian's words before turning to sit in the large chair the man had left behind. He called out loudly to the empty air.

"Hey, do you have any drinks? Send one over."

As soon as he spoke, a bottle of Jiaduobao1 flew straight toward Wen Yu's forehead. He reached out and snatched it from the air.

Simultaneously, the Silver-haired Guardian's voice rang out once more: "Enjoy the perks while you still have them. Another Sequence just entered. This time, you're in real trouble!"

Wen Yu shrugged, completely ignoring the silver-haired man's warning. He narrowed his eyes and leaned back in the chair to rest.

"Five Sequences already. I wonder how many more will show up. This is getting interesting!"

Wen Yu also wanted to see just how powerful these individuals-the current pinnacle of human combat strength-actually were!

In Yanjing City, the capital of Huaxia.

Violent smoke billowed into the sky as the roar of artillery fire shook the heavens.

Just yesterday, the Central Theater, Eastern Theater, and Northern Theater-three of Huaxia's Five Major Theaters-had successfully linked up.

With a combined force of over a million soldiers, they launched a fierce assault on the symbol of Huaxia, the thousand-year-old ancient capital: Yanjing City!

The strategy established by the leadership was to reclaim the nation's lost territory step by step, starting with Yanjing City.

This strategic objective could not be allowed to fail!

Therefore, even though hundreds of thousands of Survivors remained trapped within Yanjing City, in the eyes of the High Command, these people were merely a necessary price to pay to achieve their strategic goal!

The offensive began with missiles belonging to the Second Artillery Corps.

Once missiles of various ranges and yields had blanketed and destroyed all strategic targets, the true mode of warfare for the Apocalypse began!

Countless soldiers who had already Changed Class, carrying various types of individual weaponry, launched a sweep against the remaining Zombies.

It was a feast of slaughter and harvest.

Faced with modern high-tech weapons and advanced warfare tactics, the Zombies and the handful of Mutant Creatures were completely defenseless!

Inside the combat command center.

A spirited old man sat in the primary seat, observing the battlefield situation analysis map before him.

A staff officer beside him was explaining the next steps of the operation move by move.

"By the way, where is our War God?"

The voice was slightly hoarse, but the power and majesty it revealed were absolutely not to be underestimated.

This was the current supreme leader of the three major military regions-Lin Haifeng!

A valiant female officer in military uniform standing nearby answered crisply, "Lord War God entered Yanjing City a few days ago. It seems he intended to gather Survivors. Accompanying Lord War God were No. 2, No. 5, and No. 9."

Hearing the female officer's words, Lin Haifeng frowned slightly. Before he could speak, a middle-aged man in military uniform sitting upright below spoke up indignantly, "Do these people have no sense of discipline? As the strongest combatants currently in the Military, how can they go missing right before a major battle? I've always said we should select Super Soldiers from within the Military, not from among these common civilians!"

It wasn't that the middle-aged officer had a personal grudge; it was simply a conflict between military discipline and the temperament of civilians.

"Sigh, Colonel Wang, there's no need for that. It's a good thing for capable youngsters to have a bit of personality. Besides, the current situation doesn't require their intervention."

"No. 3, take No. 8 and No. 10 to the front lines as reinforcements. If any Zombies or Mutant Creatures with excessive individual combat power appear, you are responsible for eliminating them!"

Three soldiers below immediately stood up. After a textbook military salute, they headed out of the combat command center.

"Wait."

Lin Haifeng called out to the group just as they were about to leave. He turned his head and looked out the window.

Outside the window, there was nothing!

"You don't need to go to the front lines for now. Head directly thirty kilometers to the north. In ten minutes, a Super Treasure Land will appear there."

"Yes, sir!"

The three military super-powerhouses saluted respectfully and moved out quickly toward the direction Commander Lin had pointed.

Everyone else in the combat command center was unfazed by this scene. This was Commander Lin's Class Skill. At the very beginning of the Apocalypse, Commander Lin was able to seize control of all Huaxia Military forces; he certainly didn't rely solely on charisma and personal ability!

London, United Kingdom.

The entrance to a Treasure Land abruptly appeared within the city of London.

The Zombies near the entrance seemed completely unaware of it, continuing to wander aimlessly.

Until a burly figure, like a heavy tank, charged directly into the Zombie pack.

This was a handsome man with a head of blonde hair. What set him apart was that he was clad in heavy armor and wielded a two-handed greatsword, looking like a Knight stepped straight out of a medieval film.

A light flashed from the blade's edge as a massive sword beam swept frantically through the Zombie crowd. Then, severed limbs and broken torsos scattered across the ground.

The world went silent!

The blonde man shouldered his greatsword and walked straight into the Treasure Land entrance.

Huaxia, Kunlun Mountains.

In a dilapidated small village.

As the Treasure Land opened, a solitary and proud figure slowly walked toward the entrance.

Behind him lay a ground full of the charred corpses of Mutated insects and beasts!
