Chapter 38 Breaking Into the Fortress From the Inside

    The two sides were engaged in an intense battle two kilometers away from the base. As Zhu Jun cherished his reputation, he urged the civilians he recruited to go to the battlefield at all costs. The atmosphere in the sanctuary became more and more depressing.

    Zhao Feng defended Zhu Jun’s attacks while secretly arranging for people to fan the fire within the sanctuary.

    “Residents of the sanctuary, are we just going to watch the tyrant disregard our lives and send us to the battlefield?”

    “We’re also humans with dignity. Now that our dignity has been trampled on, if we don’t take up our weapons and fight back, we’re no different from animals!”

    The people bought by Zhao Feng started to spread the idea of rebellion within the sanctuary.

    The residents of the sanctuary were already filled with anger, and now that there was finally someone to lead them to vent their anger, the residents were naturally willing to follow these people.

    The atmosphere in the sanctuary was easily ignited. People were furious, especially those whose family members were forced to go to the battlefield. They hated Zhu Jun to the core.

    “That’s right. Our lives belong to us. We won’t allow anyone to sway our life and death!”

    “Defeat the tyrant! Defeat Zhu Jun!”

    Slowly, under the deliberate guidance of the leader, hundreds of thousands of residents rushed like a wave to the higher-ups of the sanctuary.

    In the face of such a huge crowd, the soldiers under these high-ranking officials were vulnerable. Even if they used up all the ammunition in their hands, it was impossible to kill so many people.

    Furthermore, these soldiers did not have the slightest will to fight. Everyone knew that firing at these people at this time was equivalent to suicide!

    Not long after, the higher-ups of the sanctuary all changed sides and expressed their attitude toward the people, cutting off all ties with Zhu Jun.

    Finally, when Zhu Jun arrived at the front line to personally supervise and command the battle, Zhao Feng’s informer successfully incited the higher-ups of the sanctuary to defect, including the second-in-command, and successfully occupied the government

    sanctuary.

    At this moment, Zhu Jun still didn’t know that his house had already been stolen.

    At the same time, Zhu Jun, who had once again retreated from the front line, sent people back to the sanctuary to ask for reinforcements, but he was rejected.

    “What? That bunch of trash actually dared to reject me? Are you rejecting reinforcements?”

    “Men, return to the sanctuary with me immediately. I want to see who has the guts to refuse my orders!”

    Then, Zhu Jun immediately brought his men

    back to the sanctuary to recruit people.

    However, the moment he entered the

    sanctuary, Zhu Jun realized that something was

    wrong.

    The residents of the sanctuary no longer looked at him with fear in their eyes. Instead,

    anger was written all over their faces.

    When he entered the director’s office, he saw a person he didn’t expect, Zhao Feng!

    Wasn’t this guy supposed to be commanding the battle at the front line? When did he come

    to this place?

    At this moment, Zhu Jun finally realized that

    he had lost.

    The fact that Zhao Feng was able to appear in the director’s office unscathed explained

    everything.

    “You thief, you stole my weapon and my shelter!”

    “You really deserve to die, you scum!”

    Zhu Jun cursed at Zhao Feng in a fit of rage, but his irascibility could not change the situation at all.

    In fact, Zhao Feng had rushed over the

    moment he received the news that the

    sanctuary was under control. He wanted to

    meet Zhu Jun at this moment and give him a huge psychological blow!

    “Hehe, you actually have the nerve to scold me? Look at what this sanctuary has become!”

    Zhao Feng also said angrily.

    Zhao Feng had never come to this sanctuary

    before, and all the information he had heard came from his informants.

    Therefore, Zhao Feng didn’t expect to be so

    shocked when he saw the actual state of the sanctuary residents.

    How much suffering and torture did these

    people have to go through to become like this?

    Their bodies were filled with filth, and their

    eyes were listless as if they were walking corpses!

    “Men, lock this sinner in prison. We’ll deal

    with him after everything has settled down!”

    “Yes, Director Zhao!”

    The second-in-command replied Zhao Feng respectfully. He had clearly become Zhao Feng’s most loyal lackey.

    Zhao Feng then asked the second-in-command to send people to

    investigate the various levels of officials in the

    sanctuary, and he supported the idea of

    reporting each other.

    Under such measures, the various stains on the

    officials were quickly pointed out.

    Everyone knew that the world was about to

    change, so they would be courting death if they tried to hide anything at this time. Everyone told him everything they knew in

    their hearts, hoping to save their lives by performing meritorious deeds.

    Zhao Feng, on the other hand, fired all the corrupt officials in the sanctuary based on the information he gathered.

    “I’ve circled the names of these people. Lock

    them up and try them according to the laws before the apocalypse.”

    In addition to the fired officials, Zhao Feng also

    found some of the worst people and gave them even more severe punishment as an example. This was to completely purify the sanctuary’s management, and at the same time, it was a warning to future management members that if they didn’t do their job well, they would

    learn from their mistakes.

    After everything was done, Zhao Feng dismissed the second-in-command. “On account of your contributions, I won’t hold

    you responsible for what you’ve done before. You’re on your own.”

    The second-in-command was so excited that

    he almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed

    to Zhao Feng a few times.

    Although he had lost his hat, at least he had saved his life. This could be considered a blessing in the midst of misfortune.

    “Thank you, my Lord, for sparing my Thank you, my Lord!”

    life.

    Zhao Feng waved his hand impatiently. “Hurry up and get lost. I don’t want to see you

    again.”

    In order to maintain the normal operation of

    the sanctuary, Zhao Feng temporarily transferred a trustworthy higher-up from the underground city to be the new director of the sanctuary.

    Then, he would make an announcement. “From today onwards, every resident of the

    sanctuary will receive a subsidy of ten nutrition pastes per person. They can also receive a small

    amount of meat and rice. Please line up in an orderly manner and head to the central plaza of the sanctuary to receive your supplies!” This announcement had just been released, and the entire sanctuary was about to explode!

    Many people even thought that they had read

    the wrong words. Food was going to be distributed?

    And it was meat and rice?

    Was this still the sanctuary they were familiar

    with?

    When people understood who had sent them

    these things, they were filled with gratitude

    towards Zhao Feng, the new boss behind the

    scenes.

    Zhao Feng’s combo had completely established

    his prestige and position in the sanctuary. From now on, no matter who became the director of the government sanctuary, they could not replace him.
