Chapter 5: The Dark Blood Age! Chapter 50: Old friends reunite!
the next day.
Washington Hotel.
Rooftop!
"Boss, I missed you so much."
A burly figure as big as a mountain opened his arms and suddenly pounced towards Chu Zhou.
"Stop, stop, stop, Shi Meng, I don't have that kind of hobby, find someone else!"
Chu Zhou was always calm and composed when facing the Eighteen Kings in the Western World, but at this moment his expression suddenly changed.
With a speed that even the king could hardly see, he dodged the warm embrace of the burly figure.
"Boss, you don't love me anymore?"
Shi Meng said with a grievance, and when he saw Dao Jie, Dongfang Mingzhu, and Yang Zhenzhen behind Chu Zhou, he blinked and immediately revealed the look of a resentful woman who had been abandoned:
"As expected, a man's words are deceiving. Boss, now that you have three beautiful women, you have naturally forgotten about me."
The three girls knew that Shi Meng was making a prank, so they reacted calmly.
Chu Zhou's mouth twitched slightly, his face full of black lines.
He looked at Shi Meng with a playful look on his face:
"It seems that you, Shi Meng, have been living a very comfortable life during the time I was not around you!"
"Do you want me to throw you into a den of monsters and train you well for a few months?"
Shi Meng felt his scalp tingling when he saw Chu Zhou's eager look.
Throw him into a monster and train him for a few months?
Is that the life people live?
"Hahaha, boss, you're joking. I'm on the front line, fighting monsters all day long. I have plenty of training. You don't need to worry about me."
He waved his hands quickly and smiled awkwardly.
"I think the captain's suggestion is good... Shi Meng, you deserve a beating!"
Li Qingshi walked out from behind Shi Meng and said jokingly.
"My dear Miss Qingshi, please stop making trouble. What if the boss really throws me into the monster's nest for a few months? How am I going to survive then?"
Shi Meng looked at Li Qingshi with resentment.
Ling Zhan also came out from the back: "Captain!"
Chu Zhou smiled and nodded.
He had just sensed the strength of Ling Zhan, Shi Meng and Li Qingshi, and found that they had all been promoted to high-level transcendents.
Moreover, the Force fluctuations on their bodies are much stronger than those of ordinary high-level transcendents.
It is obvious that it won’t be long before Ling Zhan and the other two are promoted to controllers.
In less than a year, Ling Zhan and the other two were promoted from primary awakeners to high-level transcendents.
And he is only one step away from being promoted to a controller.
Although this promotion speed is far from comparable to Chu Zhou's.
But in fact, it’s already very fast.
In Chu Zhou's opinion, Ling Zhan and the other two are definitely no worse than Xie Longyuan and other monsters.
Who knows, in another year or two, Ling Zhan and his two companions might catch up with and surpass Xie Longyuan and other evildoers.
Chu Zhou was also very pleased to see Ling Zhan and the other two making rapid progress.
Chu Zhou brought Ling Zhan and the other two to a large barbecue grill.
On the grill, pieces of monster meat were being roasted until golden, with oil splashing and the aroma filling the air.
These monster meats were specially prepared by Oriental Pearl, and they are all meats of boundary-level monsters.
"Tsk tsk, this seems to be the meat of the boundary-level monster Zapdos... boundary-level monster meat. I haven't eaten such good food since the boss left the front line."
Shi Meng quickly stared at a piece of animal meat with lightning patterns on it, exclaiming in amazement and swallowing saliva wildly.
"Isn't it just the meat of a boundary-level monster? Shi Meng, don't look so useless and embarrass our Blade Team."
Li Qingshi said unhappily when she saw Shi Meng looking like a starving ghost.
“Miss Qingshi, you are like a full man who doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man… Your Li family is a chaebol, so naturally there is no shortage of boundary-level monster meat.”
"But, a poor person like me can't afford the meat of a boundary-level monster. Now that I have the chance to eat a full meal, I naturally have to cherish it."
Shi Meng laughed and said this, then regardless of the fact that it was hot, he directly picked up a piece of barbecue and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
By the way, he also took a bottle of wine from the table next to him.
It was so much fun eating meat and drinking wine at the same time.
Chu Zhou and the others smiled when they saw this, and then started eating.
Everyone ate meat and drank together, and talked about each other's recent situation. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"Boss, you are so awesome! In Yuehai Base City, you killed the 'Snake King' Chu Changqing, the two kings of the Jiang family, Zhan Yu, Og-Ernst and other five kings, and destroyed the three major families of the Ling family, the Chu family, and the Jiang family. After that, you single-handedly went to the Western world, destroyed the six major families including the Ernst family, and killed eighteen kings... The whole world was shocked!"
"You don't know how much those warriors on the front line envy us when they learn that you are the captain of our Blade Team!"
"Hahaha, it's a pity that they don't have our luck and have formed a team with you so early."
Shi Meng ate the meat in big mouthfuls and shouted excitedly.
Li Qingshi also laughed and said:
"Now, those young warriors on the front line are almost all fans of the captain!"
Chu Zhou burst out laughing when he heard this. He was just going to the West to take revenge on the Ernst Family and the Medici Family. He didn't expect that it would cause such a big stir in the West, and he didn't expect that he would gain so many fans because of it.
"What's the situation on the front line now?"
Chu Zhou asked.
Sister Dao, Dongfang Mingzhu, and Yang Zhenzhen also looked at Ling Zhan and the other two curiously.
They are all in Yuehai Base City. Although they can learn about the news from the front line through the Internet or some intelligence channels, they can't understand it as clearly as Ling Zhan and the other two who are on the front line.
Shi Meng and Li Qingshi, who were originally quite happy, looked slightly gloomy after hearing Chu Zhou's question.
"Let me tell you!"
Ling Zhan said in a serious tone:
"The situation on the front line is becoming increasingly severe."
"Earlier, Commander Lu, the captain of the organization, and other strong men like you launched a counterattack and killed many boundary-level monsters... That action really played a huge role, and weakened the offensive of the beast tide a lot."
"But such days did not last long, and the 'Day of Great Change' arrived."
"And since the advent of the 'Day of Great Change', the monsters have launched waves of beasts that are becoming more violent each time."
"At the beginning, the monsters in the beast tide were basically just some miscellaneous soldiers, and there were not many extraordinary monsters."
"But gradually, there are more and more extraordinary monsters, and even control-level monsters and boundary-level monsters are slowly appearing..."
"Now, not only are there more control-level monsters and boundary-level monsters... but also more beast kings who control the beast tide behind the scenes."
"The pressure on the front line is very high right now. Commander Lu, seven days ago, in order to relieve the pressure on the front line, personally took action and wanted to kill the Beast King Golden Winged Thunder Eagle who was behind the beast tide..."
"...But, I didn't expect to be ambushed by the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle and the other two beast kings."
"Fortunately, Commander Lu is extremely powerful. He managed to escape the ambush of the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle and the other three beast kings and returned to the base safely."
"However, when Commander Lu came back, he was also covered in blood, and it seems that he was seriously injured."
At this time, Shi Meng also put down the barbecue and wine in his hands and cursed:
"Damn it! I seriously suspect that those beast kings and beast emperors are colluding with the three major organizations, the Crescent Organization, the Earth Organization, and the Shadow Alliance."
"Otherwise, the beast tide wouldn't have suddenly intensified its offensive after the 'Day of Great Change'."
Li Qingshi also spoke:
"The situation is really grim now. After the 'Day of Great Change', the support from the Guangdong Sea Base City to the front line has been drastically reduced. Whether it is warriors, soldiers, or various weapons and equipment, the front line has basically not received any replenishment since the 'Day of Great Change'."
"However, the beast tide's attacks are getting stronger and stronger each time."
"I also know that the three major martial arts schools and the Human Alliance are in a difficult situation right now and it is difficult for them to continue to support the front line... But if they continue like this, the front line may not be able to bear it one day."
"When that time comes, an endless tide of beasts will invade our human cities, and it will be a catastrophe far more terrible than the 'Day of Great Change'."
"Moreover, as far as I know, it is not just the southern frontline in the Guangdong-Hai region where we are located that is facing this dilemma. The frontlines in various base cities around the world are facing this dilemma."
"This problem is very serious. If it is not solved in time... then our species may be in danger of extinction."
Chu Zhou, Sister Dao, Dongfang Mingzhu, Yang Zhenzhen and others were all shocked when they heard this.
They had not expected that the situation on the front line would become so serious.
"It seems that after the arrival of the 'Day of Great Change', many of us have focused our attention on the three invading organizations: the Crescent Organization, the Earth Organization, and the Shadow Alliance, but have forgotten that monsters are also our greatest enemy."
Chu Zhou sighed and frowned.
He doesn't have a good solution to this global problem.
Sister Dao saw Chu Zhou frowning and couldn't help but comfort him:
"Don't worry! The three major martial arts schools and the human alliance must have noticed this problem. The three major martial arts schools and the human alliance must have prepared countermeasures."
"The reason why I haven't used it yet is probably because I feel the time is not right yet."
At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came.
"Hahaha, Li Ge is right! Chu Zhou, you don't have to worry too much about this problem... We, the three major martial arts schools and the human alliance, are not here to eat and do nothing. We have been able to lead mankind for so many years, how could we be defeated so easily?"
"The reason why we haven't launched a massive counterattack yet is because the time has not come yet!"
When Chu Zhou heard the laughter, he immediately looked towards the door.
He immediately saw Tang Yuanqing, Nie Ying, and Bai Changming, a genius who was being trained by the Tomahawk Martial Arts School.
"President, Supervisor Nie, and Brother Bai, you are here too!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Chu Zhou's face.
"We came here uninvited, I hope you won't blame us for disturbing us!"
Tang Yuanqing smiled and walked over to Chu Zhou and sat down.
"I'm here to have a free meal!" Nie Ying smiled.
"Brother Chu, long time no see!"
Bai Changming also laughed.
"Welcome, welcome... the more people there are, the more lively it will be."
Chu Zhou also smiled and introduced Ling Zhan and the other two to Tang Yuanqing and the other two.
"Since the more people there are, the more fun it will be, so I'll come and join in the fun."
"Let's join in the fun!"
Tang Yuanqing and the other two had just sat down when two more groups of people arrived.
One of the groups was Dugu Lan, the president of the Natural Martial Arts School. She brought with her Ye Yun, a genius from the Natural Martial Arts School whom Chu Zhou had met before.
The other group came from Xia Meng, the president of the Xinling Martial Arts School. She also came with two women that Chu Zhou was familiar with.
The two women were Luo Yue and Situ Die, whom Chu Zhou met at the supply base when he was still an awakener.
Among them, Situ Die once joined Chu Zhou and his Blade Team and participated in the siege of the Shadow Research Base.
Chu Zhou was deeply impressed by this little girl who seemed very timid on the surface and even closed her eyes in fear when facing the enemy, but could often control many weapons to turn the enemy into a hornet's nest.
"You are all young people, so you should communicate more."
Dugu Lan brought Ye Yun to Chu Zhou and said with a smile:
"Ye Yun, you should learn more from Chu Zhou. If you want to be half as good as Chu Zhou, then we will have a natural martial arts school. I can now rest assured that you will take over my position."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly:
"President, you don't have to compare me with Chu Zhou, the pervert. I can't beat him."
As he spoke, he looked towards Chu Zhou with deep admiration in his eyes.
When he thought about how he had not taken Chu Zhou seriously at the beginning of the "Global Human Talent Competition" and only regarded Chu Zhou as an ordinary rising rookie, he felt ashamed.
Although he is also considered a genius, how can he compare with a pervert like Chu Zhou?
“Brother Chu, you are this!”
He gave Chu Zhou a thumbs up.
"Hahaha, you're not bad either!"
Chu Zhou smiled, and the little grudge that he had with Ye Yun in the ancient human ruins also disappeared at this moment.
Dugu Lan felt slightly relieved when she saw Chu Zhou's attitude towards Ye Yun.
She also knew that Ye Yun and Chu Zhou had had a small conflict before, so she brought Ye Yun here specifically, hoping to resolve the grudges between the two sides.
Now that her goal has been achieved, she feels relieved .
Xia Meng also brought Luo Yue and Situ Die to greet Chu Zhou.
"Little girl, do you remember me?"
Chu Zhou said to Situ Die with a smile.
"Remember... remember, Brother Chu Zhou!"
Situ Die said timidly, with a hint of admiration on her face:
"Brother Chu...Brother Chu Zhou, you are so awesome. I...I admire you!"
I didn't expect there was a little fan here.
Chu Zhou laughed in silence and let Situ Die sit down next to him.
Then, he thought of Ling Zhan and the other two, as well as Sister Dao, Dongfang Mingzhu, Yang Zhenzhen and others. He was not familiar with Tang Yuanqing, Nie Ying, Dugu Lan, Xia Meng and others, so he stood up again and introduced both parties one by one.
Although Sister Dao, Dongfang Mingzhu and Yang Zhenzhen have never come into contact with the four kings Tang Yuanqing, Nie Ying, Dugu Lan and Xia Meng, they all know their identities.
Therefore, you can still remain calm.
But Ling Zhan, Shi Meng and Li Qingshi could no longer remain calm after learning the identities of Tang Yuanqing and others.
Shi Meng, who was usually carefree, became reserved.
They were all shocked in their hearts. It turned out that without them noticing, not only had their captain's strength improved dramatically to the point where he could kill the king, but a group of people with surprising identities and backgrounds also gathered around him.
There are geniuses from top families like Sister Dao, Oriental Pearl, and Yang Zhenzhen.
There are also real big shots like Tang Yuanqing, Nie Ying, Dugu Lan, and Xia Meng who are either presidents or inspectors.
Chu Zhou is not only getting stronger, but the people around him are also getting stronger!
