Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 49: Return to the City

At the edge of City No. 0237, a large group of flying monsters led by a Horde Leader Black Crowned Golden Eagle flew towards the human base city. Among these flying monsters, several had human fighters standing on their backs, laughing and chatting. Next to them, a dark blue saucer-shaped fighter jet accompanied them in flight. On the ground, a primary Horde Leader and two high-level Commander rank Swamp Newts sprinted, barely keeping up with the flying monsters in the sky.

Sitting on the back of the Horde Leader Black Crowned Golden Eagle, Qin Mu looked at the people around him and couldn't help but feel speechless. He never expected these guys to be so enthusiastic. After getting their own flying monsters, they no longer cared about the intelligent fighter jets. Even Li Shun, a Wargod expert, was having a blast.

As they flew over a city ruin, Qin Mu glanced at an abandoned subway station not far away. There, the Mother Nest was continuously analyzing more monster genes and hatching more Zerg units. These Zerg warriors were expanding outward along the subway lines, hidden from view.

Further away, a group of newly hatched medium-level Commander rank Iron Armored Crocodiles and high-level Commander rank Purple Lightning Pythons crawled into Taihu Lake. These were the first batch of Zerg amphibious monsters. They would open up a safe area in Taihu Lake for the Zerg to hatch an underwater Mother Nest.

The Zerg would soon welcome its first batch of aquatic units.

Beyond the line of sight, in the wilderness, packs of wolf-type monsters roamed the forests, hunting monsters and bringing them back to the Mother Nest.

The entire Zerg swarm was growing stronger, a scene of prosperity.

The city ruins gradually receded from view. At the speed of the flying monsters, it would only take a few hours to travel from City No. 0237 to the Northern Military District of Jiangnan Base City. This was because they had to stop from time to time to wait for the three sprinting Swamp Newts on the ground. Compared to land monsters, flying monsters were much more convenient for travel.

At the Northern Military District camp of Jiangnan Base City, two saucer-shaped fighter jets landed, and two Wargod experts walked out, followed by a large group of high-ranking officers. After taking over the camp, they issued an order that left all the soldiers feeling puzzled. The order was to clear an area in the square, prepare enough raw meat, and open the camp gates.

They were also told not to attack the monsters when they arrived!

Behind the camp, an armored military train was already waiting to transport special items. In the square, after arranging everything, the two Wargod experts surprisingly did not leave but waited directly at the gate. This scene made many people secretly curious. Who was worth the wait for these two strong individuals?

"Old Jiang, they should be arriving soon, right?" One of them looked at the distant sky and asked the tall, burly man beside him.

"I just asked Li Shun. They'll be here soon. By the way, Old Tong, what are you so anxious about?" 

The Wargod expert known as Old Tong curled his lips. "I'm anxious to see my more than a thousand flying monsters. Li Shun took a high-level Commander rank Black Crowned Golden Eagle first. That was originally ours from the Northern Military District."

"How did it become yours from the Northern Military District? You're dreaming. Many people are eyeing this batch of monsters."

"So, I have to grab some first."

As the two chatted, a roar of monsters came from the distant sky, and the ground rumbled as if some giant beast was running.

"They're here." Looking at the dark mass of flying monsters approaching from the distance, Old Tong said with a smile.

As the flying monsters arrived, there was a commotion in the camp, but it soon quieted down. Everyone saw that among the group of flying monsters, there was an intelligent fighter jet belonging to the military flying alongside them. Some of the more powerful fighters even saw that there were human fighters standing on the backs of several powerful monsters in the group.

As the group of flying monsters approached, three monsters appeared on the ground from afar, with a Horde Leader monster leading the way. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Northern Military District, the group of flying monsters led by a Horde Leader Black Crowned Golden Eagle slowly landed in the square. On the ground, the three Swamp Newts sprinted and entered through the open camp gate.

"Qin Mu, let me introduce you. This is the leader of our Huashan Organization's Second Team, Jiang Long." In the square, everyone had already dismounted from the flying monsters. Li Shun brought Qin Mu to the two Wargod experts who had been waiting and introduced them.

"Hello, Team Leader Jiang."

"This is the commander of the Northern Military District of Jiangnan Base City, Commander Tong Xuezhu."

"Hello, Commander Tong."

Li Shun introduced the two of them to Qin Mu, and then said. "As for this person, he is Qin Mu, who has just joined our Huashan Organization." The few of them exchanged greetings and got to know each other.

"Team Leader Jiang, Commander Tong, these monsters are a gift to the military. I've already given them orders. As for the rest, you can distribute them yourselves." Looking at the monsters in the square, which were eating, Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Haha, then I'll accept them on behalf of the military district." Commander Tong laughed heartily.

Then, Qin Mu pointed to the corner where several half-dead HR Alliance fighters were. "These are the HR Alliance fighters who tried to assassinate Professor Zhou. I'll hand them over to you as well."

Jiang Long looked at the HR Alliance fighters with disgust. "We'll take care of these scum. You don't have to worry about the rest. We'll handle it properly."

As if sensing something, the HR Alliance fighter Davis, whose limbs had been pierced by Qin Mu, struggled and twisted his body, shouting hoarsely. "I am a fighter from the Paulinus family of the HR Alliance. You have no right to detain us. Release us quickly, or the HR Alliance will not spare you."

Looking at the struggling Davis, Jiang Long's expression showed a hint of disdain. He didn't even bother to respond and instead looked at Qin Mu.

"The HR Alliance? Hmph, just a bunch of rats in the gutter. This time, they've been caught red-handed, and many people will pay. After these guys were captured by you, the military has already put pressure on the HR Alliance. We just received news that a Wargod expert from the HR Alliance responsible for medical affairs committed suicide at home. The official statement is that he died in battle against monsters. There's a lot going on behind this incident, with shadows of many forces. You don't have to worry about it. The military will handle it properly."

Qin Mu nodded when he heard this. He hadn't planned to get involved in the first place. Now, although he had some strength, he was still not a match for true experts.

"Let's not chat idly for now. Let's return to the base city first. The Black God Suit, Spirit of Nature, and other items will be delivered directly to your residence. For now, focus on improving your strength. We're all looking forward to your further progress."
