Chapter 6 – No Need to Play It Low

Volume 3: Rising Winds and Clouds

Watching a spectacle is human nature!

And a spectacle as grand as One-Eye was definitely a rare sight-something many people might not see even once in their lifetime.

Moreover, when they saw the excited, thrilled, and happy members of the Kid Army in front of One-Eye, many Class Holders realized that this Mutant Beast did not harm people.

Thus, when the first Class Holder followed less than a hundred meters behind One-Eye and saw that the beast had no aggressive reaction, the Class Holders along the way erupted in excitement!

After walking for so long, any Class Holder could determine the direction One-Eye was heading.

It was toward Central City.

A Level 4 Mutant Beast. Central City.

When these two terms were linked, it meant a major event was unfolding!

Consequently, a spectacular scene appeared in the long-silent Mudanjiang City!

…

Wen Yu looked back at the long string of Class Holders trailing behind One-Eye and shook his head helplessly.

His original intention in having One-Eye grow larger was to make the journey easier, saving them from any blind trash who might want to rob them or demand a toll!

Wen Yu wasn't naive enough to believe that the Class Holders in this city would show mercy and let a group consisting of two adults leading a bunch of children pass by unmolested.

Because children meant weakness.

Therefore, a proper display of muscle was absolutely necessary.

However, Wen Yu hadn't expected that the small bit of muscle he had quietly flexed would be seen as a pillar of divine strength in the eyes of the Class Holders of Mudanjiang City!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go through with the Promotion! Look at the mess this has caused. Things were so much better when you were Level 3. You ate less, your size wasn't too big, and you didn't attract attention. Besides, do you have any idea how much effort Xing and I put in just to get you promoted?"

Wen Yu sighed and patted One-Eye's head, grumbling at him.

"Woof woof!"

"Boss, I didn't want to get bigger either! Getting bigger makes me hungry faster. You're the one who told me to grow…"

"Fine, it's my fault…"

"Woof woof…"

"How about we just kill all these people?"

One-Eye had been with Wen Yu the longest and had the most "experience." The tyranny and killing intent in his heart were several times stronger than Xing's!

"No need."

Wen Yu flicked his cigarette butt directly into a fourth-floor window of a Residential Building they were passing.

"If they want to watch, let them. I bet as they look at your majestic and overbearing figure right now, they're dying of envy!"

"Woof woof!!!"

"Definitely!!!"

Hearing Wen Yu's flattery, One-Eye became incredibly happy!

"Oh, right! I need to mark my territory!"

After saying that, One-Eye broke into a light trot and ran over to a commercial building.

Wen Yu immediately understood what One-Eye was about to do. With a bitter smile, he jumped off One-Eye's back.

Perched on his head like a hat, Xing stuck her tongue out at One-Eye.

"Why does Dog-Ge always want to mark territory? Isn't it better if everyone shares?"

"Woof woof woof!!!"

"You're too young to understand. This is the best way to attract a Pretty Dog!"

Having said his piece, One-Eye propped his right leg up on a third-floor windowsill, exposing his massive member!

"Let's go…"

Wen Yu couldn't bear to watch such a cruel scene any longer. He led Xing and caught up with the Kid Army ahead.

Behind them, a surging sound rang out as a pale yellow liquid rapidly spread across a large patch of ground.

At the same time, a pungent, foul stench wafted out, making Wen Yu frown involuntarily.

"This is too disgusting…"

The Little Soul Beast's mental fluctuations transmitted into Wen Yu's mind, and were quickly picked up by One-Eye and Xing.

"Tell me about it! Isn't territory something you're born with? Why use this method to mark it! And it stinks too much!"

As the King of the mountainous region of Chaihe Town, Xing was naturally born with a vast territory.

"This is Dog-Ge's life, Dog-Ge's way, and Dog-Ge's attitude!"

"I'm proud of it!"

One-Eye shook the ugly thing between his legs, then trotted back to Wen Yu's side, winking at Xing and the Little Soul Beast on Wen Yu's head.

"Sigh…"

Wen Yu let out a long, weary sigh.

…

Once One-Eye finished marking his territory, the group set off once again!

This time, however, everyone-including the Class Holders following behind-clutched their noses, trying to put as much distance between themselves and that spot as quickly as possible!

The scent of One-Eye's urine was truly intoxicating, in the worst way imaginable!

"Let's go."

Wen Yu barely managed to suppress his exasperation as he spoke to One-Eye.

As Wen Yu and his Soul Pets reached Level 4, the intelligence of both Mutant Beasts and Soul Beasts had increased significantly. One-Eye and Xing often did things that left Wen Yu caught between laughter and tears.

Take this territory-marking business, for instance.

One-Eye had already claimed a large portion of the mountainous area surrounding Mudanjiang City, and it was clear that this behavior wasn't going to stop anytime soon!

According to One-Eye, he was leaving his scent behind!

On the off chance some cute little female dog caught a whiff and was conquered by Dog-Ge's raw power, Dog-Ge's harem would naturally grow!

Wen Yu, of course, had given One-Eye a stern warning.

Building a harem was his own business, but he shouldn't even dream of Wen Yu forming a contract with any of his "wives."

Unless, of course, they were stronger than One-Eye himself!

To which One-Eye indicated that such a thing was impossible!

By "impossible," One-Eye meant he was absolutely certain there wasn't a female dog out there more powerful than him!

Wen Yu sat back down atop One-Eye's head. Seeing the dog looking back at the messy ground every three steps, he gave One-Eye a sharp, resentful rap on the skull!

"Hurry up! You're a Level 4, yet the kids have almost run out of sight!"

"Awoo…"

One-Eye let out a pitiful whimper.

…

The scope of Mudanjiang City was neither particularly large nor small.

While it might have seemed vast to Ordinary People, the incredible mobility of Class Holders effectively shrank the distances within the city to almost nothing.

In less than an hour, the gates of the Central City Settlement were visible in the distance.

…

Before Wen Yu's group was even halfway there, Central City had already received word that a Level 4 Mutant Creature had appeared in Mudanjiang City.

Furthermore, it had a master.

And it was currently heading toward Central City.

The man in control of all Mudanjiang City was none other than Wang Zhigang-the same man Wen Yu had teamed up with to blow up a police station during the early days of the Apocalypse!

At the time, Wang Zhigang's decisiveness and bravery had left a deep impression on Wen Yu.

Such a man naturally lacked neither courage nor brains.

Thus, upon learning that a Level 4 Mutant Beast was approaching Central City, Wang Zhigang had already led the men from the Camp up onto the walls of Central City!

These so-called city walls had been constructed during the initial design of Central City to defend against Mutant Beast attacks.

They were currently being widened, thickened, and heightened.

This was a direct requirement from the Military Headquarters.

Wang Zhigang didn't understand the reason behind it, but that didn't stop him from executing the orders perfectly.

Zhang Xiao had been right about one thing.

Wang Zhigang did indeed take orders from the Military.

If for no other reason, it was because the Military's overwhelming combat power left Wang Zhigang with no choice but to comply!

Standing on the wall, Wang Zhigang watched as the grey figure in the distance grew larger and larger. He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Let's go. Open the gates. We're going out to greet them."

"Wait, Old Wang. We don't know if this person is friend or foe yet. How can we just open the gates like that?"

The speaker was a young man in a military uniform standing nearby.

Hearing the man's words, Zhang Wen, who was standing beside Wang Zhigang, let out a cold snort.

"Even if they're an enemy, what can we do? Do you really think this wall, not even ten meters high, can stop that thing? Our scouts outside said that dog is ten meters tall!"

"If that dog's master were our enemy, you could build three more walls and it still wouldn't be enough to stop them!"

After finishing his piece, Zhang Wen didn't wait for the young man to respond and simply followed Wang Zhigang toward the city gates.

As for Wang Zhigang, he ignored the man entirely from start to finish.

A flash of hatred flickered in the young man's eyes before he followed behind Zhang Wen.

"Once this is over, I'll have to have a word with Headquarters. These two are becoming more and more disobedient!"
