Chapter 268: Chapter 269: Dragon Tiger Gang

After coming down the stairs, the vertical-pupiled young man quickly traversed the city with the bald guy, finally passing through a secret passage to enter an underground club.

This underground club had an enormous interior space, stretching out as far as the eye could see. Moving forward, places like bars and casinos were available in abundance.

Rumor had it that this underground club was built by some rich second-generation individuals before the apocalypse, offering a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and entertaining, exclusively for friends within their circle. Therefore, facilities like casinos, bars, and fight arenas could be seen everywhere here.

The vertical-pupiled young man, accompanied by the bald guy, greeted some people on the way as they walked toward a fighting ring.

By this time, a considerable crowd had already gathered below the spacious ring.

These people were whispering and discussing fervently, occasionally breaking into a series of cheers.

On the ring, a four-zhang-long Ice Python exuding a chilling aura was engaged in an intense battle with a robust-sized, fiery red Fire Tiger.

The Ice Python, covered in scale armor that resembled ice crystals, emitted a brilliant radiance under the lights, and as its thick tail swung, it sprayed a bone-chilling cold air toward the Fire Tiger.

The Fire Tiger, ablaze with flames, let out a violent roar, its massive body flashing as it dodged the python tail’s strike.

Boom!

The cold-endowed python tail struck directly on the ring’s ground, creating a crater in the rock-hard surface, causing the crowd below to emit a gasp of astonishment.

The Fire Tiger, having dodged the python tail, immediately launched a counterattack. The flames around its body suddenly intensified, and with the aid of the high temperature, it pressed against the cold air sprayed by the Ice Python as it charged straight ahead.

Roar!

The contact of cold air and flames birthed a large mass of white mist. The Fire Tiger, like a bolt of lightning, dashed out of the mist, swinging its blazing tiger paw fiercely at the Ice Python.

Unexpectedly, a glint of cunning flashed in the Ice Python’s indifferent eyes, and at the last moment as the Fire Tiger charged up, it sidestepped the attack, while its thick tail once again whistled toward the Fire Tiger.

Caught off guard, a look of shock crossed the Fire Tiger’s eyes as it hurriedly turned to block, its tiger paw clashing with the incoming python tail.

Boom!

With a loud crash, a terrifying shockwave swept through all directions, causing the bodies of those below the ring to sway as they retreated in fear.

Squeak~

After the collision was over, the Fire Tiger’s body was forcibly pushed back, its four claws scraping the ground, sliding backward over ten meters on the ring before finally stopping.

The Ice Python’s tail, however, was repelled in this collision, smashing hard against the edge of the ring.

"Hahaha, exhilarating, little brother, let’s do it again!"

At this time, the Fire Tiger’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit, surprisingly speaking human words, it chuckled and said.

With that said, the Fire Tiger instantly charged toward the Ice Python.

"Big brother, take a break!"

The Ice Python said somewhat helplessly.

Unexpectedly, the Fire Tiger did not listen at all, stubbornly charging to attack, leaving the Ice Python no choice but to make another move as they engaged in another fight.

After ten minutes, with no winner or loser between the Fire Tiger and the Ice Python, they finally stopped.

Amidst the cheering of the crowd, the two beasts consecutively transformed into human forms.

The Fire Tiger transformed into a sturdy man with a flat-top hairstyle, a bare upper body adorned with several tattoos, while the Ice Python transformed into a slender young man with cropped hair, fair skin, and a stern face.

If observed closely, one could find that although the two differed in age and physique, they bore a seventy-percent resemblance in appearance.

Because the two were biological brothers and also the leaders of the Dragon Tiger Gang.

Both brothers had awakened the Beastification Ability, one capable of transforming into a Fire Tiger, the other into an Ice Python.

After the apocalypse arrived, the brothers, relying on their formidable strength, gathered many Evolvers and established the Dragon Tiger Gang, using this underground club as a base.

"Little brother, your strength has grown fast enough! Now you’re almost on par with your big brother.

Perhaps in a while, your big brother might not be able to handle you, at which time, I’ll step down and let you take over as the leader!"

Zhang Xi walked over, patted Zhang Qing on the shoulder, and said with a hearty laugh.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? We’re brothers, why make such clear distinctions? If it weren’t for you risking your life to save me several times before, I might have long died at the hands of the Evolved Zombies."

Zhang Qing frowned and said.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. While being the leader is enjoyable, it’s also quite exhausting. Since you don’t want it, I’ll keep at it for now."

Seeing his brother frown, Zhang Xi retracted his hand and shook his head, saying.

"Come on! I’m starving, let’s get something to eat!"

At this moment, most of the spectators had already left, and Zhang Xi led his brother down the ring.

"Leader, second leader, I have something to report."

Seizing the opportunity, the vertical-pupiled young man, along with the bald guy, hurried forward and respectfully said.

"Zheng Yu, what’s going on with you and Bald Guy?"

Zhang Xi and Zhang Qing halted their steps. Zhang Qing looked at the two, frowning, and asked.

"Second Leader, Leader, Bald Guy and I just found a woman and a little girl in the city, constantly protected by Evolved Zombies. Those zombies were at least at the third stage, possibly even the fourth.

We dared not act rashly and returned specifically to report to both of you!"

Zheng Yu explained earnestly.

A woman? And protected by Evolved Zombies?

Hearing this, both Zhang Xi and his brother were extremely surprised.

"Zheng Yu, are you pulling my leg? Since when did Evolved Zombies stop attacking people and start protecting them?"

Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows, questioning in disbelief.

"It’s true, Leader, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Bald Guy, he saw it too."

Zheng Yu felt urgent as he spoke.

Under the gaze of the three, Bald Guy hurriedly nodded.

"Big brother, Zheng Yu and Bald Guy have no reason to deceive us, what they’re saying should be true.

If Evolved Zombies are protecting humans... Could it be that the other party is an Evolver with the ability to control zombies?"

At this point, Zhang Qing’s eyes twinkled as he speculated.

"Exactly, second leader, that’s what I thought earlier too!"

Zheng Yu promptly nodded in agreement.

"Controlling zombies? That’s unbelievable. If she’s allowed to grow, will there still be room for our Dragon Tiger Gang in Beicheng City?

No, no, little brother, quickly gather men, and let’s eliminate them now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xi was flustered, hastily calling out.

"Big brother, don’t rush! An Evolver capable of controlling zombies is rare indeed.

If we could win them over, with the help of their zombies, the strength of our Dragon Tiger Gang would rapidly expand!"

Zhang Qing quickly held Zhang Xi back, advising.

This is a valuable Evolver capable of controlling zombies, Zhang Qing thought they must seize this opportunity.
