Back to the village, the situation was under control but the tense atmosphere lingered around. The Territory War Game was the cause. The Tarriors and the Militias were concerned with the war ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang got into the house with the others. He was sitting on the wooden chair and reading through the Territory War Game display.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
His eyes were looking at the participants. There were five factions. The Empire, Daian Kingdom, Dacian Kingdom, and Bombyx Mori Tribe. The four factions were mentioned by Heron, but there was still an unknown one, Lionax Kingdom.
Tang Shaoyang glanced at Heron, "Do you know something about the Lionax Kingdom?"
"Lionax Kingdom?" Heron repeated the foreign name. There was no need for him to reply to Tang Shaoyang as Tang Shaoyang immediately knew the zombie did not know the Lionax Kingdom.
"I don't know. I never heard it before," Heron shook his head.
"Hmmmn, is it the survivors?" It was possible that the survivors in the Zhejiang Territory gathered and formed a faction.
"That's possible. It may be the survivors that created the faction," Zhang Mengyao also thought so. The fifth participant should be the faction made of the survivors in the city.
"Let's figure it out later. It says we have to conquer eight cities, is Jiaxing one of them? How many cities in Zhejiang Province?" Tang Shaoyang did not know about this.
Zhang Mengyao rubbed her chin, "Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinhua, Taizhou, Wenzhou..." She stopped midway after mentioning five cities, "Those five are the major cities in Zhejiang, maybe Jiaxing is one of them..." She then looked toward Wei Xi.
Wei Xi shrugged, "Don't ask me, I only know about Jinhua and Hangzhou. But we indeed need to figure out the eight official cities. We can try to go to Jiaxing first since it's the closest to our location."
Tang Shaoyang then glanced at Heron, "What about Jiaxing? How many zombies are there? Who's the leader of that city?"
"There's a horde of twenty thousand zombies and Doron is in command of that horde," Heron knew a lot more information than he thought. Letting Yu Shun subordinate this zombie was the best decision.
"Twenty thousand, we will have a big harvest huh," Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear, "What about this Doron? How strong is he?"
He was praising Pride at first. A good subordinate needed to be praised before asking their location. It took a while for Pride to reply to his message. It took a few minutes before he received the reply.
[I don't know where we are right now. However, I remember taking a detour from a city. That city should be Jiaxing City, we are far to the North of that Jiaxing City.]
This was a tricky situation, Zhejiang Territory was too large to search for those two. Without an exact location, it would take a long time to find them. If this was SH City, he had a map. He could access the map everywhere and found Pride's location easily.
As he was thinking about the right solution, Wen returned. Wen came in and greeted him while bowing his head.
"Did you find anything?" He asked Wen.
"I found a few villages with zombies, but their number is not that much. They should not be a threat to us, but Jiaxing City has a lot of zombies. I also discovered that the city has a defense tower similar to ours," Wen reported his discoveries.
"Do they have a city wall as well?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear the report. He was not expecting to hear this kind of information. He thought they were just an organized zombie, but they were more than that. They had access to the system as well.
"Yes, the city is protected with a ten meters tall black steel wall. It's similar to our inner wall," Wen nodded his head.
"On top of that, I have discovered a peculiar tower in the center of the city," The Jade Eagle continued with his report, "It's peculiar because the tower is made of flesh and the flesh tower seems to be alive. I can hear a faint heartbeat from the air."
This was without a doubt a big discovery. A flesh tower was something they had not encountered before.
"Do you know what this flesh tower does?" Tang Shaoyang felt this flesh tower was something important to the zombie.
"I don't know, but I have a guess," Wen voiced his thoughts, "I was hovering for a while on top of this flesh tower. I saw zombies keep coming out from the flesh tower. My guess is this flesh tower used to create more zombies. They are producing a zombie army through the flesh tower!"
Tang Shaoyang fell silent. This news shocked him. If what Wen said to him was right, that meant the zombie could multiply their numbers even though people were not around.
'No, no, no. They should not be able to multiply their numbers endlessly. There must be a condition to produce zombies, a resource to run the flesh tower,' Tang Shaoyang tapped the armrest with his index finger.
This time, he felt an urge to vanquish all the zombies in the world. He never felt this urge before because he thought the number of zombies should be limited since they could only increase their number by infecting the other creatures.
—Nature, Mana, that's the resource needed to run the flesh tower. You have to destroy the flesh tower because they will destroy your world, making the Earth uninhabitable for humans and other creatures except for the undead!
