New God Group! Chu Beixuan

Chapter 8: New God Group! Chu Beixuan

Two moons hung in the sky, and the night stretched vast and dark.

Across the nation, all kinds of Mutated Monsters ran rampant.

Humans, animals, plants, insects, and more—nearly seventy percent had mutated.

Such a horrifying ratio meant that seven out of every ten living beings had mutated.

The Imperial Army had also suffered devastating losses. In some cities, combat zones had already fallen and become domains of Mutated Creatures.

Before Mutated Monsters, even ordinary Mutated Creatures were not something ordinary people could handle.

New God Group Tower.

Boom! Bang! Roar, roar, roar—

More than a dozen Super Martial Warriors were clearing out the Mutated Monsters relentlessly charging in from all around.

The leader among them wore Taotie Armor and wielded a heavy halberd, sweeping through the monster horde with unstoppable force.

Hardly any Mutated Monster could withstand a single strike from him.

"Chairman, this can't go on. There are simply too many monsters. We can't kill them all."

A woman in Flame Armor fought her way to the man in Taotie Armor and battled at his side. "The brothers are already running out of strength. We should retreat to the underground shelter first!"

"Sigh! Mengxi, Dad could only wait for you until now."

The man in Taotie Armor sighed helplessly. The reason he had come out to clear the monsters around the building was precisely to wait for his daughter to return.

Now, it seemed his daughter had already died in the jaws of the monsters.

Whoosh!!

Just as the man in Taotie Armor was about to give the order to retreat, a woman clad in Ice Snow Armor suddenly cut through the darkness.

She held an Ice Snow Bow, and every time she drew it, several ice arrows shot forth.

"Who are you? Have you seen my dad?"

Chu Mengxi fought her way back with great difficulty. Seeing more than a dozen Super Martial Warriors battling the monsters, she joined them and shouted.

Everyone wore Super Martial Armor, so no one could tell what the others looked like. That was why she asked.

After cautiously fighting her way back from the Underground Boxing Arena, Chu Mengxi was nearly exhausted.

All she had seen on the way back were all kinds of Mutated Monsters.

"Haha! Good, Mengxi! You actually became a Super Martial Warrior and came back. Retreat!!"

Upon hearing her voice, the man in Taotie Armor immediately gave the order to withdraw.

He stayed behind to cover the retreat and was the last to enter the building.

Only when the elevator doors were about to close completely did he flash inside with a whoosh.

Inside the elevator, everyone removed their armor helmets.

"Dad! Is Mom and Younger Sister okay?"

Seeing that her dad was unharmed and had awakened Super Martial Armor even stronger than hers, Chu Mengxi was overwhelmed with joy.

"They're both fine. They're in the underground shelter!"

Chu Beixuan let out a slight breath of relief. He looked only a little over thirty, yet his features were handsome and cold, carrying the powerful oppressive air of someone long accustomed to command.

New God Group had a market value of fifty billion, and its Chairman, Chu Beixuan, was a business tycoon renowned across the country.

Beneath the group's tower was a shelter built to withstand nuclear war.

Not only massive entities like New God Building—even the headquarters of corporations worth tens of billions generally had shelters beneath them.

These wealthy people cherished their lives dearly and had always prepared for the possibility of nuclear war.

Now, nuclear war had not come, but the apocalypse had. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

The underground shelter beneath New God Building was lavishly built, resembling a massive underground research facility capable of housing several thousand people.

"Su Mu, go organize the shelter's supplies and see how long they can feed our hundred-plus people."

After descending into the shelter, Chu Beixuan gave the order.

"Alright!"

The woman in Flame Armor nodded and left.

"Mengxi, come. Go see your mom and Younger Sister."

Chu Beixuan led his daughter deeper into the shelter.

"Dad, I can't stay here for too long..."

Chu Mengxi briefly explained what had happened with Gu Qijue.

"Oh? There's actually someone like that? But since you're back, there's no need to pay him any mind. Making my daughter his servant—he has some nerve."

After hearing her out, killing intent flickered in Chu Beixuan's deep eyes.

"That man is ruthless. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll bring trouble here."

Chu Mengxi frowned slightly. She truly did not want to return, but recalling the terror of that man made her hesitate.

"Don't overthink it. Leave this to Dad!"

Chu Beixuan patted her shoulder. "He dared to make Chu Beixuan's daughter his servant. He deserves to die!"

Late at night, after rescuing quite a few survivors in Yun City, the Imperial Army began withdrawing bit by bit. Their losses had been too severe, and many Super Martial Warriors had been killed or wounded. They truly could no longer withstand the pressure.

They had truly done their best and wanted to rescue more survivors.

But their ammunition was nearly depleted, leaving them no choice but to retreat first.

The Yun City war zone had truly done all it could.

Facing so many monsters, they were struggling with every step.

As time passed and more Super Martial Artists awakened, larger-scale rescue operations would become possible.

In his previous life, Gu Qijue could only survive in a shelter established by Super Martial Artists, living like livestock. He had never been rescued.

Underground Boxing Arena.

"Master, I don't think we can stay in the city for too long. Food will eventually run out, but the apocalypse won't disappear because of that. I know there's a military base outside the western suburbs. We should seize some seeds first, then attack that military base!"

Zhao Hu brought Gu Qijue a barrel of bottled water. "The city is densely populated, which means there are more Mutated Monsters. It isn't a place for long-term survival."

He was far from the only person with such thoughts.

The apocalypse would last a long time, but food was limited.

Only self-sufficiency could ensure long-term survival.

"Why leave?!"

The twin dragons behind Gu Qijue curled the water barrel up to his mouth, and he gulped down the water in huge mouthfuls.

He still was not wearing a shirt.

Though he could retract the Twin Dragons behind his back, bringing them out again would burst his clothes. There was no need to wear any.

"Wouldn't leaving be better?"

Zhao Hu asked hesitantly.

"Only idiots would leave. After Mutated Creatures die, the earth absorbs their blood and grows a kind of fruit that can enhance your Super Mark once consumed."

Gu Qijue rose to his feet and said calmly, "This fruit is important. It only exists for twelve hours. Once that time passes, it turns into Variant-tier Mutated Monsters."

"So our Super Marks can evolve too. Then we really can't leave."

Zhao Hu's heart stirred. "This is one of the resources we need to fight over!"

"Of course. Remember to mobilize everyone to search for water sources. When the time comes, I'll help you seize enough Mutated Fruit."

After saying that, Gu Qijue stood up and said:

"It's time for me to devour Mutated Creatures and evolve as well. You should go seize supplies too!"

"If that woman doesn't return tomorrow, she deserves to die."
