Chapter 851: Aftermath of the War

"The core of life..."

Watching Qin Zhong brush past her and run toward Feng Yuan, Xue Lingxue suddenly lowered her head and whispered the name of the life crystal core. At the same time, a strange light flashed through her lowered eyes.

"boom!"

Just as Qin Zhong and the others rushed to the ruins, preparing to dig through the rubble to rescue Feng Yuan, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the ruins. Then, accompanied by a large amount of rubble flying, Feng Yuan's figure leaped up from the ruins.

"Qin Zhong, you owe me an explanation!"

After jumping out of the ruins, Feng Yuan's face turned pale. He stared at Qin Zhong intently and said word by word, "Why did that minotaur suddenly regain his freedom at the critical moment and attack me?"

At this time, he was in a miserable state, covered in dust, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Especially his right arm, which was used to resist the Minotaur's attack, was completely twisted and deformed.

Obviously, Feng Yuan was caught off guard and the minotaur's thundering attack caused extremely serious damage to him.

"General Feng, what do you mean?"

Seeing Feng Yuan's furious expression, Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows and shouted, "The Minotaur is a product of X-planet biotechnology. How could I have known it could instantly break free from my blockade? Besides, I didn't let you through the whole time because I was afraid this monster had some hidden tricks up its sleeve! You rushed over and attacked without a word, and now you're injured like this, and you're blaming me?"

At this moment, Qin Zhong had just slain the Minotaur and was in full glory. His body was stained with azure blood, and the pair of silver-white wings behind him made him look as majestic as an ancient god.

Following his question, a strong murderous intent began to permeate the base. Xiao Yingyong, Wang Boshen, and other members of the Tiangang Organization immediately stood behind Qin Zhong, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

The external threat was temporarily lifted, and while the Tiangang Organization and the Kyoto government breathed a sigh of relief, they also began to be wary of each other. Although the two organizations had cooperated before, in the face of interests, these were not unchangeable.

At this moment, Feng Yuan was seriously injured by the Minotaur, and Qin Zhong seized the core of life. This instantly solidified the atmosphere between the two organizations, and a dangerous atmosphere began to quietly spread throughout the base.

"Haha, Brother Qin, I don't mean to blame you. I just felt a little uncomfortable after being hit at the end of the battle. What I said just now was just angry words, don't take it to heart."

When the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode, Feng Yuan suddenly took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Okay, now that the external threat has been temporarily lifted, everyone can have a good rest. I have to go take care of my injuries, so I won't be with you for now."

After saying that, Feng Yuan turned around, gave some instructions to Xu Li, and walked straight towards his room.

Feng Yuan's tone was very calm, but Qin Zhong was not fooled. At that moment, he saw a fleeting murderous glint in Feng Yuan's eyes.

To put it bluntly, Feng Yuan had indeed intended to kill. He ultimately chose to retreat because, in this battle, the Kyoto government had suffered even greater casualties than the Tiangang Organization.

In addition, the ten ghost generals were completely wiped out, and he himself was covered in wounds. He knew very well that this was not a good time to turn against Qin Chong.

Because of this, Feng Yuan finally suppressed the anger in his heart and turned away.

……

"Ha ha……"

Looking at Feng Yuan's back as he walked away, Qin Zhong let out a faint sneer. Like Feng Yuan, Qin Zhong had no intention of turning against him at this moment.

Because although the Ten Great Ghosts were powerful, he knew that was not Feng Yuan's final trump card. After all, having experienced the Lost Realm, Qin Zhong knew that there was a satellite in the outer sky above everyone's heads.

If Feng Yuan could contact the Kyoto government, the satellite's laser weapon could directly evaporate Qin Zhong.

No matter how confident Qin Zhong was, he didn't dare to think that he could withstand the shooting of laser weapons.

Therefore, for Qin Zhong, he would not take the initiative to turn against Feng Yuan until the most critical moment. After all, he would still need the support of the Kyoto government.

After the battle, the base was in ruins. Many buildings had collapsed in the fierce fighting, and the wreckage piled up like a mountain. The dust had not yet completely dissipated, filling the air with a pungent smell.

Three sides of the base's walls had collapsed, leaving shattered remains scattered across the ground. Broken weapons and scattered equipment were everywhere.

The base was littered with wounded soldiers, their groans of pain echoing everywhere. After the battle, medical personnel began to move through the ruins, busy treating the injured soldiers.

Thousands of bodies of soldiers who died unfortunately were piled together, and dozens of incinerators were operating at the same time. The flames in the furnaces burned for most of the night before slowly going out.

Inside the base, in a still intact building, a group of evolvers from the Tiangang organization, Sun Xiaoyan and Xin Hai gathered around Qin Zhong, conducting a post-war summary together.

"Brother Qin, the statistics are out. More than 2,000 people died on our side! Among them, more than 300 people died in Songcheng, and the casualties of new recruits were even more serious!" Wang Boshen took a deep puff of the cigarette, then forcefully exhaled the smoke from his lungs.

At least five thousand soldiers had died in the daytime battle. The casualties of over two thousand soldiers were a significant loss for the newly formed Tiangang Organization.

After all, the soldiers Qin Zhong had mobilized this time were mainly veterans from Songcheng and new recruits from Ding Shenwang's side. In war, veterans always knew how to survive on the battlefield, but new recruits didn't.

"The dead are gone, and since this is war, how can there be no casualties?"

Qin Zhong sighed softly, looked at the people seated in the room, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are all safe and sound. I am very satisfied."

"By the way, the crystal core that Brother Qin took out from that minotaur today was really huge."

Yan Shikai couldn't help but be amazed when he mentioned the crystal core Qin Zhong had retrieved from the minotaur. He remembered it clearly: the crystal core was the size of a human head, and the life force contained within it was incredibly powerful.

You know, the crystal cores in ordinary zombies or mutant animals are only about the size of a ping-pong ball, and the largest is only the size of a fist. This is the first time that everyone has seen a crystal core as big as a human head.

"That's natural. To support such a large minotaur in battle, how could this crystal core be so small?"

Qin Zhong glanced at Yan Shikai and said with a smile, "The biggest gain this time is this crystal core. When we get back, we'll give it to Hu Meng and Chu Jiu to study. Maybe it can further promote the research of evolutionary potions!"

At this moment, Qin Zhong's expression suddenly froze, as if he were listening intently. Soon, his face changed slightly, and he said to everyone, "You stay here and tell our people not to let down their guard and be prepared for another battle."

Sun Xiaoyan and Xin Hai were stunned. Sun Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother Qin, although General Feng's attitude was not good just now, I believe he will not attack the Tiangang Organization without considering the overall situation."

"Yeah, Brother Qin, I also think it's unlikely!"

Wang Boshen scratched his head and asked, "During the daytime battle, the Kyoto government lost most of their soldiers, and the defenses within the base were almost completely destroyed. Furthermore, Feng Yuan was seriously injured. They should be worried that we might take advantage of this opportunity to attack them."
