I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 1082 The Powerful Pope

"Heh, you, the leader of some unknown small organization, dare to claim that your combat strength is on par with mine? That's a bit too much of an arrogance, isn't it?"

Looking at Qin Zhong's confident face, King Arthur's smile suddenly vanished, and he said coldly, "If Xiao Yibai said this, I would have no objection, but for you to say it, isn't it a bit too arrogant?"

As King Arthur's expression turned cold, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him.

The aura he had cultivated from holding a high position, combined with his confidence in his own combat abilities, created a suffocating feeling among the onlookers.

Qin Zhong, who was facing this pressure directly, naturally felt it even more intensely. In his eyes, King Arthur seemed to have suddenly transformed into a lion with its jaws wide open, intending to swallow him whole.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

With a slight smile, Qin Zhong composed himself and said confidently, "However, I can tell you that Xiao Yibai's combat strength is indeed very strong, but I am confident that I am no less than him. In fact, if he doesn't use his trump card, he may not be my match."

"laugh!"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Meng Lei couldn't help but jump up again. He sneered and said with a face full of disdain, "I really doubt whether you've ever had any contact with Xiao Yibai. Maybe you've only seen him once from afar, and then you have the confidence to fight him? Heh, I've never seen a fool like you who thinks he's invincible just because he has a little skill!"

"Hmph, you clown! I'm talking to your elders, what right do you have to interrupt?"

Qin Zhong glanced at Meng Lei with disdain and said coldly, "I have indeed never fought Xiao Yibai, I have only seen him fight other people, but so what? Chen Fang of the Chongqing Military Intelligence Department is about the same as him in terms of combat strength, but he still couldn't beat me, right? As for Xiao Yibai, if he could really deal with me, do you think he would just stand by and watch me ransack the Kyoto base without doing anything?"

"Oh, you and that scoundrel Chen Fang fought to a draw?" Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, both King Arthur and the Pope's expressions changed simultaneously.

As one of the top experts among humans, they had naturally fought against Chen Fang before. However, Chen Fang's fighting style was so despicable that they would rather fight Xiao Yibai ten times than fight Chen Fang even once.

However, although Chen Fang's fighting style is unscrupulous, it is undeniable that his combat power and fighting style are very strong.

Being able to fight that guy to a draw, this kid's combat power is probably just as he said, already on par with them and among the top experts.

"Yes, it was a draw. But judging from your expressions, it seems you also tried that guy's underhanded tactics?"

Seeing the strange expressions on King Arthur's and the Pope's faces, Qin Zhong secretly guessed that these two must have suffered at Fang Ye's hands, otherwise they would not have such expressions of having swallowed flies.

"Hehe, young man, since you and Chen Fang fought to a draw, I believe your combat strength should be as you said, reaching our level."

Instead of directly answering Qin Zhong's question, King Arthur smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that after only one year since the apocalypse, China has produced another strongman like you. The ancient Eastern country is indeed adept at creating miracles."

"Hehe, you flatter me. I was just a little lucky." Hearing King Arthur's words, Qin Zhong smiled modestly. He still had to maintain sufficient respect in front of this older and powerful figure.

"Good luck is the most remarkable thing. You know, under the influence of the apocalyptic virus, even a little bad luck would have turned you into a walking corpse long ago. Not to mention someone like you who has entered the ranks of top experts."

King Arthur shook his head, then his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "It has been more than a year since the outbreak of the virus, and the situation in Country Y is getting worse and worse. I wonder how things are in your country, China?"

……

“Not good!”

Upon hearing King Arthur's question, Qin Zhong shook his head with a solemn expression and sighed, "Before the apocalypse, China had a registered population of 1.4 billion. Just from that number, you can imagine how bad the situation is now."

At this point, Qin Zhong frowned even more deeply, his face grave as he said, "As far as I know, at least 90 percent of the human population in China has become zombies, and the remaining 10 percent are barely surviving amidst the zombie horde. Add to that the attacks from various mutated beasts and the Demon Mountain, and our situation is only worse than yours."

"What do you know about Devil Mountain?"

Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, King Arthur took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "Since His Holiness the Pope is also here, let's exchange information and see if we can complement each other's data."

After the apocalypse, crossing oceans became an extremely difficult task, so communication between various nations completely ceased.

Now that Qin Chong has come from China, they should seize the opportunity to discuss and explore the next steps in human development.

After all, China has the largest population, and the combined force of the X-Men and Devil Mountain's attacks there is certainly considerable.

"I do know a little about the X aliens, but wouldn't it be a bit too much to discuss it here with so many people talking?"

Qin nodded in agreement with King Arthur's suggestion, but then frowned and said, "Some of the information is of great importance. I personally think it's best not to discuss it in public to avoid causing any trouble."

“You’re right, child. Some information really shouldn’t be known to the average person.”

Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, the Pope nodded slightly, and then addressed the onlookers in a gentle voice: "Hello everyone, I am Pope Paul III of the Vatican. King Arthur and I have something to discuss with this friend. Would you all like to excuse yourselves for the time being? The glory of God will shine upon you."

"Such powerful hypnosis..."

This was the first time Qin Zhong had heard the Pope speak. The old man, who was nearly seventy years old, spoke in a gentle tone, as if an elder were talking to a younger person.

At the same time, his tone carried a seductive quality that almost made people submit. Upon hearing the Pope's words, Qin Zhong felt a slight dizziness and an involuntary urge to leave.

However, Qin Zhong was no ordinary person, and his soul power far surpassed that of ordinary evolved beings. Therefore, he only felt slightly dizzy before regaining his senses.

With just this one move, Qin Zhong became deeply wary of this white-bearded and white-haired pope.

To be able to create such a powerful hypnotic effect simply by using the tone of voice, this old man truly deserves to be called one of the strongest people in the world.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Although Qin Chong was easily immune to the Pope's hypnosis, other evolved beings did not possess his powerful soul abilities.

Upon hearing the Pope's words, the surrounding evolved beings all showed fanaticism on their faces, and then, with the demeanor of devout believers, they quickly dispersed and retreated into the distance.

In just two minutes, the hundreds of evolved beings who had been watching had left, leaving only Qin Zhong and a few others standing at the empty street corner.
