Might Makes Right

Blood Bear was initially shocked upon hearing the news, and his heart sank immediately.

The Qin Family from Dongdu?

Why would the Qin Family suddenly come to Donghua City?

Blood Bear quickly deduced that it was likely because news about the Zombie King had leaked.

The Qin Family must have learned about it and came to claim the Zombie King!

As soon as he realized this, the image of Wang Hai and Wang Zhi, the uncle and niece duo, flashed in his mind.

Back when he was annexing other shelters, the one established by Wang Hai wasn't the largest, but it was the most fiercely resistant.

Later, Wang Hai and Wang Zhi managed to escape during the chaos, but Blood Bear hadn't paid them any mind.

After all, with three to four dozen evolved fighters under his command, what harm could two evolved individuals possibly pose?

Now, it seemed that Wang Hai couldn't stir up much trouble on his own.

But he had informed the Qin Family about the Zombie King, summoning this powerful force from Dongdu!

Thinking of this, Blood Bear cursed inwardly.

"Damn it! I should have just killed Wang Hai back then!"

With a grim expression, Blood Bear ordered, "Gather the brothers! The Qin Family might be powerful, but we're not easy to bully here in Donghua City either! We won't let them trample over us!"

With these words, Blood Bear already considered himself the ruler of Donghua City.

…

The survivors in the shelter also noticed the arrival of the Qin Family's army.

Upon seeing the Qin Family's troops, a spark of hope appeared on the survivors' previously numb faces.

"An army!"

"The government has come to save us!"

Their eyes were filled with excitement and joy, mistaking the Qin Family's forces for a national army.

The soldiers were well-trained, and the officers carried a cold, stern demeanor.

The biggest difference between the Qin Family and other apocalyptic forces was that the Qin Family had preserved the order and structure of the old government. All of their armed personnel were regular military troops.

While other shelters were still figuring out how to establish order, the Qin Family had already completed a comprehensive transformation from top to bottom.

Their orders were executed without question, and their organization was impeccable.

It was no wonder that these survivors mistook the Qin Family's army for the national military.

However, due to their fear of Blood Bear's brutal methods, even though they desperately hoped the army would save them, none of them dared to voice their thoughts.

Blood Bear, along with his evolvers, appeared at the entrance of the shelter.

As he looked at the well-disciplined army outside and the formidable Qin Family experts, his heart sank.

So many Evolvers?

There must be over seventy of them, right!?

Blood Bear had spent a lot of time consolidating power by annexing several shelters, practically unifying the entire Donghua City. Yet, even he had only managed to gather around forty evolvers.

Moreover, most of them had only recently awakened their abilities and had little to no training.

Acquiring energy crystal cores was no easy task for them.

Although there were tens of thousands of survivors in the shelter, most of them were ordinary people.

They could manage some menial tasks, but fighting zombies was too much for them.

Blood Bear had raided the city's police station for some firearms, but they were mostly handguns and other light weapons, with very limited ammunition.

So, in Donghua City, if the shelters wanted to obtain energy crystal cores, the evolvers had to hunt zombies themselves.

The ordinary people could only perform some support roles.

And most of the energy crystal cores obtained ended up in Blood Bear's possession…

Now, seeing the Qin Family's evolvers, the morale of Blood Bear's group plummeted.

The Qin Family's evolvers were all dressed in uniform black military attire, perfectly tailored and exuding an imposing and dangerous aura.

In contrast, Blood Bear's group looked like a band of colorful, ragtag bandits!

However, Blood Bear still had some confidence. He possessed an A-grade talent and was only one step away from reaching Level 2, making him very powerful!

Ordinary evolvers were no match for him.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, he could definitely be considered a powerhouse.

And with over forty evolvers under his command, he had become a significant force in the apocalypse.

The Qin Family shouldn't easily turn against him, right?

One had to admit that Blood Bear certainly looked imposing. After awakening his ability, his body had mutated to a height of three meters, resembling a giant!

Standing among the crowd, he was a towering figure, his voice thunderous.

"I am Blood Bear, the leader of Donghua City. May I know which esteemed member of the Qin Family has graced us with their presence?"

Although Blood Bear knew the Qin Family was here for the Zombie King, his tone remained respectful.

The Qin Family from Dongdu was not a force he could afford to offend.

Then he saw a handsome young man step out of a luxurious stretch limousine, surrounded by a group of powerful figures, as if stars orbiting the moon.

This young man had a tall, upright posture, standing around 1.8 meters tall. Compared to Blood Bear, he seemed slim and small.

Yet, his bearing was extremely noble, his expression calm, and his gaze indifferent, exuding an aura of superiority.

In contrast, the mountainous Blood Bear's imposing presence was completely overshadowed.

Standing before Blood Bear, all eyes were naturally drawn to the handsome youth, ignoring Blood Bear entirely.

The young man looked up at Blood Bear and smiled slightly. "My name is Qin Jun."

Qin Jun?!

Blood Bear was taken aback. He had initially thought that the person who came was just some member of the Qin Family.

Even that would have warranted careful treatment on his part.

In this apocalyptic world, even the Qin Family's distant relatives were lofty figures beyond reach…

But he never expected that the future head of the Qin Family would come in person!

"Young Master Qin, what brings you to Donghua City?

Hehe, I, Blood Bear, now consider myself the master of Donghua City. If you need anything, I will certainly assist you to the best of my ability!"

Blood Bear's face lit up with a fawning and slightly fearful smile.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up within him.

Just one or two months ago, he was nothing more than a petty thug in Donghua City.

While Qin Jun was the son of the Executive Chairman, the topmost elite in the country.

In the presence of someone like Qin Jun, a scion of nobility, Blood Bear was nothing more than an ant, insignificant as dust, and had never had a chance to meet someone of Qin Jun's stature.

But now, he could stand in front of Qin Jun.

He was no longer an ant!

Qin Jun smiled faintly. "So, you're Blood Bear? I've heard of you. An A-grade talent, quite impressive."

With just a few words from Qin Jun, Blood Bear felt immensely gratified.

He even felt honored.

Even Qin Jun had heard of his name!

Blood Bear grinned widely, clearly pleased, and said, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your praise. Whatever you need during your visit to Donghua City, I will fully cooperate!"

Qin Jun nodded slightly.

"I'm here for the Zombie King that's about to complete its evolution. I want its energy crystal core."

Blood Bear's heart sank at these words.

As expected!

The Qin Family's target was indeed the Zombie King!

Blood Bear had prepared extensively for this, even going as far as annexing other shelters for this very reason.

Although he was reluctant, Blood Bear's face betrayed no emotion.

He knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend the Qin Family.

One had to admit, Blood Bear was pragmatic. He quickly nodded and said, "Alright! Since you've come in person, that Zombie King is yours! We in Donghua City will do our utmost to assist!"

Although Blood Bear spoke respectfully, his meaning was clear.

He was giving the Zombie King to Qin Jun.

As part of the deal, Qin Jun should give him some benefits, right?
