CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 531: UNRIVALED DOMINEERING! (SECOND UPDATE)

"Report." Huang Zheng stood at the door and shouted inside.

"Come in." A middle-aged man in military uniform, muscles bulging, did not look up and said.

"Brother Jun, someone has arrived outside, right at the main gate." Huang Zheng reported directly.

The man before him, their leader, their platoon commander, Xiao Jun.

Originally a platoon of over a hundred men, over the past year, had been decimated to only thirty-five.

And now it was the apocalypse, so formalities in address had loosened.

When Platoon Commander Xiao Jun heard this, he immediately darted to the window and looked outside.

At the entrance of the Government Building, Li Tie was driving an Unimog, and there were two other off-road vans there.

They hadn’t come in, nor had they left, just parked there.

"Who are they?" Xiao Jun asked.

"I don’t know, it’s the first time I’ve seen their vehicles. The people inside haven’t come out either."

Xiao Jun’s expression turned grave; he remembered the man Gan Gaojie had injured the other day, could it be them? He speculated.

This was not the time to muse about that, since they had already shown up, and it was unclear whether they were friend or foe.

He turned his head towards Huang Zheng behind him and said, "Call everyone, including the duty personnel tonight, prepare for a fight."

"Uh, Gan Gaojie and his people are still sleeping, should I wake them up? Last time because of calling them, they protested, asking us not to disturb their sleep," Huang Zheng hesitated and said.

Mentioning those pharmaceuticals company people, Xiao Jun’s face turned steely, his forehead twitching visibly, clearly very angry.

"What the hell is the time for, wake them up, damn it, a bunch of idiots!" Xiao Jun, usually mild-tempered, couldn’t help but curse.

Huang Zheng was momentarily stunned, he hadn’t expected Brother Jun to also be this upset.

Righteously indignant, he said, "Alright, I’ll go notify them right away."

Stepping out of the room, Xiao Jun still stood by the window, loading bullets into the magazine, while watching the situation at the gate.

...

Footsteps, thudding.

Sounds of firearms scraping, magazine fitting.

This platoon, severely diminished by the zombie ordeal, quickly and orderly prepared for battle.

Huang Zheng entered the room of those four or five pharmaceutical company people, feeling irritated.

He directly kicked the door open.

Bang!

The door was directly kicked open by him.

A loud noise jolted those inside awake.

Inside, two men lay sprawled messily, with clothes thrown everywhere, completely lacking any alertness, just sleeping carelessly.

"Didn’t you fuckers say not to disturb my sleep? Are you dimwits deaf?"

Awakened by the door being kicked, Gan Gaojie, eyes not yet fully open, began cursing.

"Get up, there’s something going on outside. Or else you might just die here," Huang Zheng said coldly.

It had been over a year since the apocalypse broke out.

It was a miracle these bastards had survived this long.

If it wasn’t for their protection, these few would likely have died long ago.

All this time, they had barely killed a few zombies, always retreating at the face of danger.

"Can’t you handle the situation? Are you only good for eating? Protecting us is key to ending the Zombie Virus, do you understand our importance? Huh? How can we focus on research without proper sleep." Gan Gaojie, still groggy, sat up from the couch.

This couch, he specifically demanded it, they moved it from the first floor to the fifth floor.

It’s heavy.

Seeing him like this, Huang Zheng suppressed the urge to ruthlessly deal with them.

Hearing Huang Zheng say this, Gan Gaojie sobered up a bit. It’s dangerous.

Without even looking at Huang Zheng, he said, "Got it."

Slowly getting up, his lazy body dressed in those flashy luxury clothes, clothes that had no protective function and were just branded garments costing thousands before the apocalypse.

But in the eyes of Gan Gaojie and the others, they felt that especially in the apocalypse, it was important to maintain their own style.

Damn their style.

Without their protection, could these people still afford to relax like this?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Huang Zheng got, and he didn’t want to see these parasitic people anymore, so he turned and left.

The hall.

Xiao Jun saw Huang Zheng coming over and looked up to ask, "Are Gan Gaojie and the others up yet?"

Huang Zheng said, "They weren’t going to get up, took a while to get moving. They are still dressing.

Bro, I really can’t take it anymore. Why do we have to listen to them? We’ve lost so many brothers to protect them, and sometimes I really don’t know the meaning of doing this."

In the hall.

All the team members had arrived, only Gan Gaojie and his group were missing.

After Huang Zheng said this, others also voiced their complaints:

"I’ve long been fed up with this damn situation, they even commanded me to fetch water for their footbath last time, damn it."

"Bro Jun, Huang Zheng is right, it’s meaningless for us to continue like this, let’s just leave them."

"Yeah, every time we find supplies through hard work, we have to give a big portion to them. They not only lack gratitude but also have such an attitude. The crucial thing is, these people don’t even look like they’re into scientific research."

"Sometimes, I really feel like I can’t hold back from wiping them out, it’s so infuriating."

"Bro Jun, they’re right, let’s just leave on our own. Let’s not care about them anymore."

....

Huang Zheng’s words acted like a fuse, instantly igniting a powder keg. They had endured too much frustration and needed to vent.

Although they had individually spoken about it before and also discussed it with Xiao Jun, they had not spoken about it openly in front of everyone.

Xiao Jun also felt a fire in his belly. Seeing his brothers and reflecting on their anger reaching a spiritual point,

this couldn’t go on, or else the team would eventually fall apart.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jun recalled the camp commander’s instructions, feeling somewhat bitter.

Finally, he said, "We’ll discuss this matter later. Let’s deal with the current situation first. There’s a group of people outside. It’s not clear whether they are friends or foes. Everyone, prepare for battle."

"Huang Zheng, you take a squad up to the rooftop for backup support,

Xiao Liu, you take a squad to... to protect Gan Gaojie’s group. If there’s any trouble, evacuate them first.

The rest of you come with me to see what those people outside really want."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liu, his face still marked by acne, reluctantly said, "Squad leader, I don’t want to go, I really don’t want to protect those idiots."

"It’s an order," Xiao Jun said.

"..."

Eventually, Xiao Liu very reluctantly went.

....

Outside the Government Office.

On the Unimog.

"Big brother, the door is locked, what should we do?" Li Tie asked.

Li Yu looked through the glass, put on his helmet, and then told Li Tie: "Ram it!"

Upon hearing, Li Tie stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared—

The massive Unimog directly rammed the iron gate open.

Clang—

The iron gate fell to the ground, and the following vehicles successively drove in.

In the Government Building, Xiao Jun saw this scene, a trace of solemnity flashed through his eyes.

The Unimog slowly entered under the Government Building, stopping about 30 meters away.

Stopped.

Li Yu donned a full set of anti-explosion suit and bullet-proof helmet, covering his face and leaving only a space for his eyes.

The rest of his body was securely wrapped.

In the apocalypse, caution is paramount.

Thump—

Li Yu opened the car door.

The day was sunny, with lush, starry trees in the Government Office courtyard, patches of sunlight scattered on the ground.

One foot stepped out and landed on the ground.

Dressed entirely in black, streamlined equipment, helmet on head, no gun in hand.

Standing in front of the vehicle, he was 185cm tall.

A palpable sense of oppression approached.

Xiao Jun, seeing this person, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Having been a soldier for so many years and having fought many zombies in the apocalypse, he could sense a person’s aura.

He felt that this man exuded an air of devastating destruction, the kind of presence that could only be acquired by killing over a thousand people.

Seeing this man dressed in dark attire, visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled his mind.

Intimidation!

After rebirth, Li Yu’s sixth sense for danger had become increasingly acute.

Dress completely, that was for self-protection.

Stepping out of the vehicle, that was to show his attitude for negotiation.

If he sensed an extremely dangerous aura later, he would immediately re-enter the vehicle or take cover.

Silence.

A gust of wind passed.

A leaf slowly dropped next to Li Yu.

He spoke toward the Government Building: "I need an explanation."

His voice wasn’t loud, but was piercing enough at this distance to be clearly heard.

His tone was not condescending, emotionless, yet it exerted a tremendous pressure.

On the Unimog, the heavy machine gun was aiming at the building’s window glass.

Clatter—

From the vehicle, Li Tie and others descended, all almost dressed like Li Yu, helmets on, clad in black.

The metallic shine from their surfaces was somewhat dazzling but provided a significant oppressive feel.

Unlike Li Yu, they were armed with assault rifles, and even Yang Tianlong and another person were carrying rocket launchers.

More than thirty men.

In front of several large off-road vehicles.

The vehicles were positioned sideways facing the Government Building.

They were well-equipped, thirty meters away from the Government Building.

Should the first shot come from the opposite side, they could rely on the vehicles to fight against the people in the building.

And because the vehicles were positioned sideways, they could easily retreat into them.

The protective armor and helmets gave them both confidence and a sense of security.

Tap tap tap—

Li Yu took a few steps to the side and addressed the building:

"The day before yesterday, our people were collecting supplies and were robbed and then beaten by your people. I... want an explanation.

I am a man who places courtesy before force. Stepping out of the vehicle is my sincerity. If you want to resolve this peacefully, come out and discuss."

His voice was clear, neither servile nor overbearing, without threatening words.

No direct attack, that was a show of politeness and sincerity. In an apocalypse, who would want to take risks?

Protected so, dressed neatly, armed, that was to protect oneself and demonstrate strength.

Li Yu wanted to make it clear: you have wronged me, and it is you who are at fault.

However, he is a noble person. I have the power to eliminate you, but I am courteous.

I want an explanation, you must come down and properly provide it.

As for Li Yu, he had another careful thought.

meters away, Third Uncle and others were already prepared in the opposite building.

If the people inside came down, and if the negotiations failed and there was an intent to attack,

At any sign of trouble, they could immediately shoot the opposition.

Who is Third Uncle? The strongest King of Soldiers!

Who is Qin Tianle? Before the apocalypse, one of the most formidable Special Forces, one of the best snipers! A King of Soldiers!

Who is Old Yi? From the Southern military forces, General Ye’s guard captain, an elite among elites!

Old Luo, Old Bi, they are all veteran soldiers, absolutely elite veterans!

top-tier veteran soldiers, within 500 meters, with assault rifles, could definitely shoot to kill.

However, the people inside the Building did not know.

...

Li Yu finished speaking.

The people inside the Building had been observing Li Yu and his group.

Xiao Jun gasped in shock, awe visible in his eyes, recognizing their attire as military, albeit modified, but still recognizable.

From their aura and some subtle movements, it was evident that many of them had been soldiers.

The air seemed to freeze.

Brightly sunny during the day, there had been wind just now, but now there was none.

Stuffily hot, this inexplicable pressure made it somewhat suffocating for the people in the building.

It was clearly a sunny day.

But those upstairs felt that, under those clad in black armor,

There was some somberness, dim and lightless.

Polite words, yet an air rife with murderous intent.

More to come, charge, charge, charge!!!!!!
