The main camp of the North Ice Corps was located on Lingyun Mountain.

Lingyun Mountain wasn't very tall, only about nine thousand meters tall, but it was the largest mountain in the North Ice Mountain Range.
This mountain contained a special type of purple tin, which resulted in only one type of purple tin tree on the mountain.
The explorers discovered the uniqueness of this mountain and suggested using the special tin to build permanent fortifications to build a northern defense base.
For thousands of years, the North Ice Corps had been constantly changing Lingyun Mountain. Now, more than half of the mountain had been dug out. Even deep underground, a huge hole had been dug out.
The North Ice Mountain Range that stretched for millions of miles was divided into two parts, north and south. Lingyun Mountain was the central camp of the North Ice Corps. In the south was the South Ice Corps led by Lu Jiu.
The two corps had a few hundred million people, and built the northern defense line in the North Ice Mountain Range.
Although the North Ice Corps was called the second northern corps, it was superior in terms of numbers and resources. In the North Ice Mountain Range, Zheng Wangjun was undoubtedly stronger.
Zheng Wangjun was from Tianyue City and had a good relationship with Liu Qifeng. He had always received strong support from Liu Qifeng. Hai Wuji also took care of Zheng Wangjun for various reasons.
To put it simply, this was the instinct of those not under Gao Zhengyang's command to stick together.
Of course, be it Hai Wuji or Liu Qifeng, they supported him, but they still kept a distance from Zheng Wangjun.
After all, they were level thirteen experts. Even if they wanted to stick together, they couldn't really stick together.
Zheng Wangjun was also very resourceful, stabilizing his position in just a few years. From the east to the north, he did a good job.
The mercenary system he set up also ignited the passion of the experts among the people.
Being a mercenary was very simple. The military would set up a verification system, and as long as you passed the verification, you could become a mercenary.
Mercenaries could take on missions from the military, move freely, and not be restricted by the military. But during operations, the military would tacitly recognize them as allies. They would also provide a certain level of support.
The main reason why the entire human race practiced martial arts was because of the doomsday trial world that Gao Zhengyang had created.
In the Doomsday Zombie World, humans could continuously train themselves. And obtain all sorts of resources.
For a thousand years, human genes had been constantly improved. Even a normal person would naturally have level three strength when they reached adulthood.
With some training, they could reach level four or five. If he trained hard, he would be able to reach the sixth level. If one had enough talent and trained hard, they could reach the seventh level.
For ordinary people, Rank 7 was an extremely important threshold. 99% of the people didn't even have the chance to cross the threshold of the seventh level.
Considering the number of humans, one percent of the seventh rank was an abnormally large number.
The army recruited soldiers based on loyalty and obedience. The higher the cultivation, the better. Moreover, the treatment of the army was extremely high, and the number of people it could accommodate was limited.
Only 4% of the human race were professional soldiers. The other 96% had a certain amount of combat power. However, the human race did not have a great war, so these forces had nowhere to go.
Of course, there were all kinds of private organizations among the people, but there were very few official organizations.
Ever since the mercenary system was officially implemented, most of the adventurous experts took the initiative to join the frontlines.
Most of these mercenaries were brave and agile. In order to make money, they were more motivated. They were active in the Northern Ice Mountain Range, attacking the insectoids everywhere. It also greatly reduced the pressure on the army.
The Supreme Council also saw the benefits of the success of the mercenary system. The mercenary system was also popularized.
As the founder of the mercenary system, Zheng Wangjun had a strong influence among the mercenaries. In private, he was called the King of Mercenaries by the mercenaries.
Actually, this system was not new, and it was not something that others had not thought of. It was just that the mercenary system allowed private individuals to legally own powerful weapons, which was extremely harmful.
In the past, the human race and the other races were equal in strength. Everyone was wary of each other and maintained a balance. The human territory was very stable.
Under such circumstances, allowing powerful weapons to flow into the people would greatly disrupt order.
However, the situation had changed in the past two hundred years. The insectoids destroyed the blue people and became the neighbors of the human race.
The insectoids were a race that naturally liked to invade, which made the human race feel a great deal of pressure.
The terrifying thing was that the insectoids could absorb the advantages of the genes of other races and constantly evolve themselves. Moreover, the insectoids could swallow and absorb almost any resources directly.
What was even more terrifying was that the insectoids at the bottom had no intelligence, only instinct. All the insectoids at the bottom were ruled by the higher-level insectoids using thought waves.
This kind of thought wave was different from divine sense. It was very difficult to interfere.
Therefore, the insectoids at the bottom were not afraid of death. However, the insectoids were extremely fertile. In just a few years, they could give birth to a new generation.
This reproduction speed was something that other highly intelligent races could not compare to.
The only advantage that the human race had now was their higher intelligence, a more complete social system, and stronger social productivity.
Relying on a complete social system, the hundreds of billions of humans had enormous war potential.
Whether it was the insectoids or the demons or the Metal Steel Race, they could all see this. Although these races all had their own thoughts, they would not act rashly.
Especially the insectoids, time was their greatest advantage. They might not be able to build an efficient production system, but they only needed to reproduce and they could use numbers to deal with their enemies.
These insectoids were madly digging and plundering resources to nurture the next generation.
Because of their race, the insectoids were naturally afraid of the cold. The harsh and cold environment of the Northern Ice Mountain Range restrained the insectoids.
After so many years, the insectoids had constantly improved their genes, nurturing a new generation that could resist the cold and fight.
The insectoids had many advantages and naturally could not easily overcome their own race's weaknesses. In the past few hundred years, although the insectoids had made progress in this area, the progress was not great.
Even so, it did not affect batches of insectoids from sneaking into the Northern Ice Mountain Range to cause trouble.
On the other hand, the insectoids that were killed were themselves a kind of resource. Their strong bodies could be used to make armor and even weapons.
Including some of the special tissues on the insectoids, the humans had researched and used them.
Zheng Wangjun had such a technical team that specialized in researching the reuse of the insectoids. Moreover, there were already some special and mature technologies.
For example, there was a type of high-level white shadowy insectoid that looked like a white praying mantis.
These insectoids were so white that they were almost transparent. They hid in the ice and snow and did not have any body heat or divine sense waves, so it was very difficult to discover them. They were also famous killers in the Northern Ice Mountain Range.
However, these white shadowy insectoids tasted exceptionally delicious after being cooked using a special method. It was a top-notch delicacy.
Although the insectoids had the word 'human', the low-level insectoids were all in the form of insects. Only those with intelligence had a humanoid body. Or someone's head.
Therefore, most people could eat the low-level insectoids without any pressure.
Of course, to the insectoids, humans were all food. Regardless of gender or age. From this point of view, it was even easier for humans to eat the bugmen.
As the commander of the Northern Ice Army, Zheng Wangjun often held banquets and ate the spicy white shadowy insectoids in public.
It was also under Zheng Wangjun's leadership that the Northern Ice Mountain Range had the tradition of eating insectoids. People who did not eat insectoids were even seen as cowards.
This tough and tough style became a part of the Northern Ice Mountain Range's personality.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang did not know about this. It was Yan Jun who told Gao Zhengyang about this when he had the time.
The Teleportation Portal was activated quickly. However, through the space-time node, the two Teleportation Portals had to resonate with each other and establish a stable passage. This required time.
For safety reasons, the Teleportation Portal had to conduct checks on the people being teleported. This was to prevent enemies from sneaking into the center of the camp through the Teleportation Portal.
Therefore, after the Teleportation Portal was activated, Gao Zhengyang and Yan Jun stayed in the void passage for a full five minutes.
During this time, Yan Jun told Gao Zhengyang about the general situation of the Northern Ice Army.
Gao Zhengyang nodded after listening. "According to what you said, Zheng Wangjun is a capable general."
"Zheng Wangjun is capable."
Yan Jun did not deny this. He emphasized, "It's because he's capable that he's more dangerous."
Yan Jun solemnly promised Gao Zhengyang, "Chairman, I dare to guarantee that there's something wrong with Zheng Wangjun. I'll be responsible for everything I say. "
"Don't be so serious."
Gao Zhengyang said, "We'll know if there's something wrong with him once we see him."
At this moment, the void passage suddenly revealed an exit.
Gao Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and held Ao Zhen's hand as they walked out.
Coming out of the void passage, Gao Zhengyang saw the mountains covered in pure white snow in the distance.
The huge Teleportation Portal was built on the top of the mountain. There were only iron railings around it. Standing on it, one could see the mountains covered in snow.
The mountains covered in ice and snow looked cold and beautiful under the illumination of the sun.
The howling cold wind came from the north. It danced between the mountains and the clouds. It also made the Frigid Mountain Range even more bone-chilling.
Gao Zhengyang's gaze swept across the surrounding mountains. Finally, it landed on the man who welcomed him in front of him.
Behind this man stood hundreds of guards. Everyone wore the same military uniform, but this man was especially eye-catching.
Not only was he standing at the front, but his military uniform was unbuttoned, revealing a large patch of black hair on his chest.
His appearance was also unique. His head was big and square. Even his eyes looked squarish. His body was broad and square. He stood there like a heavy iron block, heavy and powerful.
When this man saw Gao Zhengyang, his square mouth revealed two rows of white teeth. He even casually tapped his temple with his right hand as a military salute to Gao Zhengyang.
"Chairman, the commander-in-chief of the North Ice Corps, Zheng Wangjun, has brought the first guards to report. Please inspect them."
The guards behind Zheng Wangjun stood at attention. They looked at Gao Zhengyang and saluted.
Although Zheng Wang's army was sloppy, his Imperial Guards were neat and orderly, looking extremely dignified.
There were many level-11 and level-12 powerhouses among them. This team's aura was connected. One could imagine how dignified they were.
Although the guards did not have any killing intent, their aura was sharp and strong. It was like a bombardment of thousands of heavy cannons.
Even a level-13 powerhouse like Yan Jun felt the vitality in his body stagnate when he was pressured by the guards' aura. His expression changed. He couldn't help but take three steps back before he managed to stabilize himself.
Yan Jun was good at fighting. He was not much weaker than Zheng Wangjun. However, he was much weaker than the guards' aura.
The Imperial Guards were all battle-hardened experts. Their combined strength was equivalent to that of two Level 13 powerhouses.
Moreover, this was the main camp of the North Ice Corps. The formation here controlled the vitality in a radius of ten million miles. It was also in close contact with the various combat troops.
Such a force was not something that Yan Jun could face head-on.
Yan Jun actually understood this. He just didn't expect Zheng Wangjun to be so daring. He even dared to put on a show of strength in front of Gao Zhengyang. Hence, he was at a disadvantage on the spot.
On the other hand, Gao Zhengyang's expression was calm as if he didn't feel anything. This made Yan Jun suspect that he was being treated differently.
However, he could see clearly that the guards' aura was mainly targeted at Gao Zhengyang. It was mainly because Ao Zhen's aura suddenly rose and blocked that aura.
Not only did Ao Zhen forcefully resist the guards' aura, but she also controlled her strength delicately, causing the clash of auras to disappear. It didn't cause any phenomenon.
This scene surprised Zheng Wangjun. His eyes shone. He didn't expect Ao Zhen to be so strong. In terms of power, he was much more experienced and ruthless than him.
Gao Zhengyang's gaze swept across the guards and finally landed on Zheng Wangjun. He said with a faint smile, "Zheng Wangjun, are you trying to put on a show of strength?"
Zheng Wangjun hurriedly laughed heartily. "Chairman, don't laugh at me. You shook the heavens and swept through the eras. How would I dare to be presumptuous? It's just that the children have long heard of your name. That's why they lined up to welcome you. Chairman, please don't be offended … "
Zheng Wangjun said as he bowed deeply to express his apology. "I was too reckless. It's all my fault. "
Gao Zhengyang looked at Zheng Wangjun's shiny bald head and suddenly reached out to slap it.
Although he didn't use much strength, the sound was very loud. Zheng Wangjun raised his head. There were five red fingerprints on his shiny head.
Zheng Wangjun's eyes were filled with anger. If it wasn't for his fear of Gao Zhengyang's tyrannical strength, he would have turned hostile and hit him.
Not to mention Zheng Wangjun, even Yan Jun was a little confused. What was Gao Zhengyang up to all of a sudden? His strength was too weak to kill Zheng Wangjun.
However, this slap came and went like a ghost. He saw it clearly from the side. Gao Zhengyang's speed wasn't fast and it looked casual, but Zheng Wangjun didn't dodge it.
No matter what reason Zheng Wangjun had, it was impossible for him not to dodge such an attack. The current outcome could only mean one thing. He couldn't dodge it.
The Foot Guards behind were also dumbfounded. Zheng Wangjun was the commander-in-chief of the army. He was bold and uninhibited, but he was extremely strict with his subordinates.
In the army, Zheng Wangjun's position was supreme. No one had seen Zheng Wangjun in such a pathetic state.
Many of the Imperial Guards were visibly enraged.
Gao Zhengyang, the chairman, was an outsider they hadn't met in a thousand years. Zheng Wangjun was their big brother, their father, and their wallet.
Gao Zhengyang insulting Zheng Wangjun was an insult to them, an insult to the North Ice Army.
Zheng Wangjun, on the other hand, was very shrewd. He suppressed his anger almost immediately and asked sincerely, "What did I do wrong? Why did the chairman hit me?"
"Nothing, I just found your shiny bald head fun. I just wanted to touch it casually. "
Gao Zhengyang asked, "You won't be angry, right?"
Zheng Wangjun was filled with hatred. Gao Zhengyang's tone was exactly the same as his earlier. He was clearly taking revenge on him.
But since Gao Zhengyang couldn't even dodge a casual slap, Zheng Wangjun felt a little guilty. He was a little regretful now. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have shown himself.
Everyone said that Gao Zhengyang was a level thirteen Physique Refinement Cultivator and was invincible.
Zheng Wangjun didn't really believe it. Only when one reached level thirteen did he realize that there was no limit to power. The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were so vast that words like invincible in the Myriad Heavens were just nonsense. It couldn't be taken seriously.
So, Zheng Wangjun knew that Gao Zhengyang was coming, so he took the initiative to wait here with his men. He wanted to show Gao Zhengyang how powerful he was.
After a thousand years of development, the army had all sorts of powerful weapons. To modern soldiers, level thirteen was strong, but not invincible.
With the right tactics, the right weapons, and some elites, it was possible to destroy a level thirteen.
Of course, this required all sorts of conditions.
For example, in the main camp of the North Ice Army. There was the support of the North Ice Army's giant formation. The power of a level thirteen would be reduced to the lowest.
From Zheng Wangjun's point of view, no level thirteen should enter the enemy's camp.
Gao Zhengyang had only brought his woman and Yan Jun to the North Ice Army's main camp. It was a little too arrogant.
In his territory, Zheng Wangjun wasn't afraid of anyone. However, Gao Zhengyang's slap made Zheng Wangjun more cautious.
Zheng Wangjun suppressed his anger and forced a smile. "Chairman, you're lecturing me. I was wrong."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand. "Don't stand there and talk nonsense. Let's go to your camp."
Zheng Wangjun's mind raced, but he didn't have the courage to act immediately.
Although the guards were all under his command, publicly attacking the chairman was not a small matter.
Gao Zhengyang, as the chairman, represented the highest order and status of the human race. Many people weren't prepared to kill Gao Zhengyang.
More importantly, Zheng Wangjun didn't want to fall out with him just like that. His roots were in the North Ice Army and the human race. Even if he could kill Gao Zhengyang, hundreds of years of hard work would be wasted.
It wasn't that Zheng Wangjun wasn't decisive. It was just that Gao Zhengyang had only returned for two days and suddenly came to see him. He wasn't too prepared for this.
It was hard to make a decision in such a short time.
Zheng Wangjun decided to take a look first. After all, he had the highest control of the formation in his camp. Even if Gao Zhengyang was the chairman, he wouldn't be able to escape his control.
With the formation in his hands, he wasn't afraid that Gao Zhengyang would suddenly fall out with him.
However, he had learned his lesson just now. Zheng Wangjun consciously distanced himself from Gao Zhengyang. He also called a few guards to follow him.
With these people's protection, he could at least block Gao Zhengyang for a while.
Gao Zhengyang looked on with a smile and didn't say anything. Ao Zhen was also very calm. Only Yan Jun was a little uneasy.
It was fine outside, but once they entered the Lingyun Mountain, the situation would be dangerous. He carefully reminded Gao Zhengyang, "The Lingyun Mountain is refined with purple tin that can isolate the inside from the outside. It's said to be a world of its own. "
Zheng Wangjun glanced at Yan Jun and smiled. "That's right. The inside of this mountain is isolated from the outside and has a unique atmosphere. The chairman mustn't miss it. "
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "I'm just about to see it. Lead the way … "
Yan Jun, who was following behind Gao Zhengyang, was full of reluctance. Zheng Wangjun was so daring that he looked like he could fall out with him at any time. Gao Zhengyang was even more daring. He didn't care at all.
Yan Jun groaned in his heart. He couldn't follow Zheng Wangjun at this time. There must be a big hole in front!
He didn't dare to say anything to Gao Zhengyang and could only give Ao Zhen a look.
Ao Zhen glanced at Yan Jun and said calmly, "Stay calm."
Yan Jun's face froze. He only felt that following this couple was extremely tiring.
