Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Various Forces Lie Yanshi nodded upon hearing this.

At that moment, a young man with a handsome appearance walked over, smiling.

“Senior Sister.”

Seeing this young man, the crowd greeted him warmly, clearly very close to him.

Lie Yanshi also smiled slightly, “Shaozhou.”

The young man, named Huang Shaozhou, was Lie Yanshi’s university junior before the apocalypse, being a year younger than her.

After the apocalypse, Huang Shaozhou also awakened a talent, and it was an A-level talent called Sword Domain Amplification, making him quite powerful.

In the Dawn Hope organization, he was considered a top expert, known for his incredible speed, earning him the nickname “Yellow Flash.”

Together with Lie Yanshi, they were known as the Twin Stars of Dawn Hope.

One of the evolvers said with a smile, “Shaozhou just hunted a pack of zombie dogs, so our Dawn City won’t be facing any danger for now.”

Embarrassed by the praise, Huang Shaozhou blushed and lowered his head.

Contrary to his sharp and aggressive sword domain talent, Huang Shaozhou himself was a very introverted and shy person, quite different from Lie Yanshi’s bold personality.

Seeing Huang Shaozhou’s embarrassed look, Lie Yanshi couldn’t help but laugh. In her heart, she had long regarded Huang Shaozhou as her younger brother.

After all, Huang Shaozhou had the personality of a little brother… 

He didn’t have the arrogance of other evolvers and treated ordinary people very well.

Because of this, Huang Shaozhou was extremely popular within Dawn Hope, almost as much as the Valkyrie herself.

…

After the apocalypse, following a period of chaos, the situation in the southeastern region gradually became clear.

In the former Qingjiang Province, the Dawn Hope organization was undoubtedly the dominant force. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Due to their relatively gentle attitude towards ordinary people, a considerable number of survivors came from all directions to join Dawn Hope every day.

They became citizens under the protection of Dawn Hope and now, Dawn Hope had also reclaimed the former second-tier city of Qingshan.

After reclaiming Qingshan, it was renamed Dawn City, serving as the base for Dawn Hope. 

Although Dawn City was just a second-tier city, far smaller than the provincial capital, it had some industrial foundation and a considerable amount of arable land.

However, after the cataclysm, many buildings in Dawn City’s urban area were severely damaged.

To build this free city, Dawn Hope still had a long way to go. At the very least, there were constant attacks from monsters and zombie hordes on Dawn City.

But under Lie Yanshi’s leadership, Dawn Hope repelled these monster attacks, with the giant snake being one of them.

No matter what, having a city as their base meant a bright future for Dawn Hope. Recently, Dawn Hope had been constructing city walls, which were now taking shape.

Once the walls were completed, Dawn City would truly become a free city in the apocalypse. Apart from Dawn Hope, there were also the Northern Army, the Koso Group, the Apocalypse Sect, and the Qin family from the capital.

The Northern Army originated from the former Northern Second Group Army. When the apocalypse struck, most of the country’s military forces suffered heavy losses, nearly wiped out by zombies.

The few surviving troops became warlords, scattered across the country. The Northern Second Group Army retained the most power among the surviving troops, becoming the largest apocalyptic warlord.

Now, the leader of the Northern Second Group Army was named Jiang Nanchen. He was originally just a lieutenant colonel.

After the apocalypse, he awakened an S-level talent, Magnetic Cutting, becoming a formidable force.

He then used his extraordinary talent and loyal troops to launch a coup, killing the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Second Group Army, General Bao Guozhong, and establishing himself as the ruler.

He transformed the Northern Second Group Army into the current Northern Army, proclaiming himself the Governor of the Northern Army.

Under his control, the Northern Army had become a militaristic organization, possessing a large number of weapons and ammunition, as well as tens of thousands of well-trained soldiers.

Additionally, the Northern Army had over a hundred evolved individuals within its ranks. In the southeastern region, the Northern Army was undoubtedly a dominant force.

The Koso Group was a powerful corporation even before the apocalypse, with its chairman, Xi Guangming, awakening the S-level talent, Absolute Domain.

During the apocalypse, Xi Guangming established a large shelter and rebuilt the Koso Group, maintaining a corporate structure. He recruited many evolvers and formed a board of directors.

This cold and profit-driven corporate structure was particularly suited for the apocalypse. Now, the Koso Group had grown into a significant force, not to be underestimated.

The Apocalypse Sect was a unique religious organization. Many sects emerged during the apocalypse, with desperate people hoping for divine intervention.

The Apocalypse Sect was one of the most powerful among these sects. They preached that the Apocalypse God had descended upon Earth to save humanity from calamity, end the apocalypse, and lead believers to paradise.

This doctrine attracted countless followers, including many evolvers who converted to the sect, becoming followers of the Apocalypse God.

As for the Qin family from the capital, there was no need to elaborate. They were a top aristocratic family in the old era and a chosen family in the apocalyptic era, occupying the super city of the capital with millions of citizens and nearly a thousand evolved individuals.

In the southeastern region, across the country, and even globally, the Qin family from the capital was a preeminent force. Apart from these major forces, there were various other smaller factions in the southeastern region.

However, the southeastern region’s order was chaotic. Not only were the major forces wary and suspicious of each other, but the smaller factions were also constantly annexing and fighting each other.

Even in the apocalypse, humanity couldn’t unite, continuing their internal strife.

Therefore, Dawn Hope’s leader, Lie Sheng, contacted various forces, hoping to hold a conference in Dawn City to discuss establishing order in the southeastern region…
