Beloved Daddy In Apocalypse
54. End Disaster

Almost all of the items dropped after killing so many mutant beasts were low and medium level artifacts. While high-tier artifacts numbered probably only one-hundredth of the nearly three million items he had collected. And for rare items, their number was even less. Yin Zhen only saw about five hundred rare artifacts from the millions of artifacts he had collected.

But still it was an incredible amount of harvest considering the Earth had just evolved. If only this incident hadn't happened, he didn't know how long it would take to gather such a rare item at once. But at the same time he felt sad, because all he got came from this war that took many lives.

He shouldn't be happy.

Beside the pile of items, there was a first-tier Soul Stone that numbered around 5 million stones. Not all mutant beasts had Soul Stones within their bodies, let alone most of those low-leveled mutant beasts.

The higher the level of a mutant beast, the more likely it was that the Soul Stone was within its body, and vice versa.

"For now I'll keep all this. The number of Evolutionary Souls whether at my home base or at the military base has been reduced by almost half while humans need a more solid defense. To be honest this is hard enough, but it's my job to manage it..."

He has no responsibility for the lives of others, but he knows better than anyone that the loss of a loved one is worse than facing death. As a former immortal being who once lived 10 trillion years, countless number of people died before his own eyes. Be it relatives, friends or people who are familiar with it. Either they die during the fight or die of age.

He had always blamed himself back then, he thought why was he not stronger to protect them all? But when his dream was achieved, he was not at all satisfied. His sense of emptiness still remained the same, even after he slaughtered those who had killed his dear ones. There was no difference whatsoever other than him becoming stronger and revengeful.

Because he had the opportunity to start a new life, he wanted to take a new path. In his previous life he did not care about the lives of others, but now he felt he had to do it. Let's say he's naive or something, and then is it wrong to be naive? All he wanted to do was prevent others from feeling the same way as he did.

Yin Zhen activated the Giant Force's sub-skill and awakened the massive bird-shaped Soul Force. He directly summoned some of them to transport the Soul Stone as well as the artifacts he had collected.

"It's time to come back." he said full of emotion.

The situation at the military base was finally under control, there were no mutant beasts left, not a single one. And it clearly made Jiang Yalan, Hu Lian and the others sigh in relief.

"Fortunately Yin Zhen helped us at the right time, or we will all die prey to those mutant beasts." Jiang Yalan rubbed his weary sweat. There were wounds on both of his hands, but as if he did not care, the woman did not immediately treat him.

Hu Lian and Bian Lu who had finished evacuating all the citizens to a safe area, regrouped with the other Evolutionary Souls.

"I don't know what will happen after today. But one thing is for sure, everything will change." murmured Bian Lu slowly.

The occurrence of war is indeed something bad, but at the same time there will be many people who are motivated to become stronger. One of them is him himself. As soon as he saw his comrades being injured there were even dead during the battle until the situation was immediately restrained once the army of black dragon Yin Zhen came, he immediately felt himself too weak.

Extremely weak.

The normally silent Hao Ran raised his voice, "don't let emotions fill your heart, whether it's good or bad. It is better to be calm at this time, because then everything will be more controlled and clear."

His words were not wrong, everyone admitted that. A momentary emotion will only mislead a person's path.

Fu Lang's group inside the treatment room knew what was going on outside. Some of them were unharmed in the fight against the Steel Bears thus helping the other Evolutionary Souls to counter the attacks of the mutant beasts.

Everything that happened outside the base was told by his people to Fu Lang. As soon as Fu Lang heard it, he was shocked. He had not expected the person who had saved him to have such overwhelming strength. At first he thought that the man named Yin Zhen was at most at the 20s level, but in fact it was more than that.

He never claimed to be a leader, but he was happy to see others survive in the chaos. If the only way to save a lot of people is to become a leader, then he will be a leader. That's purpose.

But once he heard Yin Zhen's heroic story, his dream sounded like a joke. Yin Zhen was able to eradicate millions of mutant beasts easily, then what about him? He couldn't even defeat the Steel Bear.

Thinking of that, Fu Lang could only shake his head slowly.

Making a comparison will only make him sad for no reason.

On the other side of the Chengdu forest, Yin Zhen finally arrived at his home base. He headed straight for the underground vault, about to see everyone's condition.

Arriving at the underground safe, Yin Mei who was accompanying her mother immediately ran over to her father.

"Father!" he then tightly hugged Yin Zhen.

"My little girl, Mei'er scared?"

Yin Mei nodded her head in her arms, "Mei'er was afraid that papa would get hurt like mama. Mei'er doesn't like papa nor mama's hurt, Mei'er's sad..."

Yin Zhen's heart instantly softened as soon as Yin Mei said so, "papa promised not to be hurt again in the future and would protect mama as well as everyone here. So Mei'er doesn't have to be sad anymore."

Yin Mei let go of her embrace slightly to see the handsome face of her papa, "really?"

"When did you lie to Mei'er?"

Everyone who saw that felt overwhelmed. They looked at Yin Zhen's figure in a new light, not only was the man a strong person, but also a father figure that his son could truly rely on.

Hua Xin and Mei Zhang who hated Yin Zhen also felt that the man was quite good, but the memory of how their son had to suffer alone for nine months could not be forgotten just like that.

Yin Zhen explained to everyone that the situation was now safe and they could get out of the underground vault.

As soon as they came out of the underground vault, a terrifying sight was plastered in front of them. The base was surrounded by the corpses of mutant beasts as well as fresh blood drenched the surface of the ground spreading a foul odor that was quite stinging.

Even though Yin Zhen had already burned most of the mutant beasts, there were still a few mutant beasts left.

Yin Zhen did not allow his only child to see the scene for too long and instantly blocked his gaze by hugging him tighter in his lap.

Everyone was shocked as well once they saw some gigantic birds carrying piles of treasures as well as Soul Stones on the backs of those giant birds.

"The situation here is no longer safe and the environment is getting worse. We'd better all move somewhere else now. I'll give you guys some packing time until the afternoon, and we'll all gather here again to head to a military base not too far away from here" he ordered.

The neighborhood of his house was too weak in defense, in contrast to the military base which was clearly defensive. Allowing everyone to stay in the military base was the right choice.
