"I'm Colonel Luo. Everyone knows me. Now that I've taken revenge, all of you know why. Do you understand the hatred of stealing your wife?
Do you really think you're a man and are willing to be a turtle?
Tell you?
I won't do it. I've killed many people. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
Now, Jiang Xiancheng, that bastard, and his lackeys have all been killed by me. I killed them all by myself. If any of you want to be buried with those bastards, come forward. Grandpa will reward you with a peanut … "
Everyone heard Colonel Luo's declaration, but their attention was not on Colonel Luo. Behind Colonel Luo, there were four heads that were facing the crowd from different angles. They belonged to Jiang Xiancheng, the logistics officer, Jiang Xiancheng's adjutant, and the head of the Unified Training Department.
Jiang Xiancheng was the base's commanding officer, the logistics officer was in charge of all the supplies, the adjutant was in charge of the entire base's operations, and the head of the Unified Training Department supervised the entire base's operations and the personnel's mental state.
These four people controlled most of the base's authority. As for the maintenance officer, liaison officer, missile defense officer, patrol officer, and kitchen manager, they didn't usually do much evil and were controlled by Jiang Xiancheng. At this moment, they were kneeling in a row with Colonel Luo's gun pointed at them. No one dared to stop them. The rifles in their hands didn't have a single bullet. They had all been confiscated by the short-sighted Jiang Xiancheng. Even if they found the ammunition depot, it would be useless. The passwords for the electronic and mechanical locks outside the ammunition depot were all in the logistics officer's chest pocket.
Ta, ta, ta …
The submachine gun spat out a long tongue of fire, shooting a row of bullet holes on the ground in front of Ding Hongjue and the others, causing them to scream loudly. However, Ding Hongjue still hugged his head and didn't move. At this moment, Ding Hongjue felt like there was a knife on his back. Behind him, Colonel Luo kept staring at his shoulders. If he moved even a little, a bullet would fly over.
Compared to the patrol officer, who was so scared that his pants were wet, Ding Hongjue was a regular soldier. Although he was only a non-commissioned officer in the missile battalion, he didn't miss a single target practice every year. He had also completed military training. Only he was someone that Colonel Luo felt was a pity to kill, but he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't kill him.
After Jiang Xiancheng's death, Ding Hongjue didn't feel proud and elated. Instead, he fell into an even worse situation. Who knew if Luo Da Zuo would go berserk and get rid of this group of officials as well?
In the midst of his anxiety, Ding Hongjue saw Zhang Xiaoqiang standing in the middle of the crowd. His eyes couldn't help but light up. Zhang Xiaoqiang was the Silver Flower Priest. His methods weren't something an ordinary person could withstand. Perhaps before Colonel Luo could even make a move, his head would already be sent flying.
Looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang who was watching the fun with his arms crossed in the distance, Ding Hongjue's heart gradually became cold. At the same time, he was disappointed with the new era. Perhaps in the eyes of these noble priests, they were just a group of dispensable ants. No matter how many of them died, it was just a pile of numbers. As long as the base could run, they wouldn't care about the internal strife of their subordinates.
"From today onwards, I have the final say here. If anyone doesn't agree, jump off the cliff yourself to save Grandpa's bullets. Those who are willing to follow me can eat what I eat and use what I use. Those who aren't willing to follow me can go down the mountain on their own. Don't say that Grandpa isn't giving you a way out …"
Just like how Colonel Luo had been a big brother in the past, he bewitched this group of soldiers who had lost their sense of direction. Just as he finished speaking, a timid person shouted, "Grandpa, Grandpa Luo, I'll follow you. If anyone doesn't agree, I'll cut them up …"
The patrolling sentry, whose crotch was wet, was the first to shout. After him, those who cooked, repaired, and communicated began to shout. In the end, even Ding Hongjue resisted the bulging veins on his forehead and shouted loudly. He knew that a wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. Colonel Luo was able to kill dozens of armed personnel by enduring. If Colonel Luo could endure, why couldn't he?
Just as everyone thought that Colonel Luo had gained the upper hand, a sharp shadow flashed past Colonel Luo's hand. They saw the gun in Colonel Luo's hand split into two, and the gun barrel fell to the ground.
Seeing the black shadow that had sliced off the spear fly past everyone's scalps, bringing with it a gust of cold wind as it disappeared into Zhang Xiao Qiang's hands, immediately, all the voices of allegiance disappeared. At this time, everyone remembered that there was still a Silver Flower Priest amongst them, someone that even Jiang Xiancheng had to curry favor with.
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked over with a calm expression. He walked past the captives on the ground who were holding their heads and stood in front of Colonel Luo, whose expression was flickering. He asked in an interrogative manner, "Where did you get the gun?"
"It's normal …"
Colonel Luo knelt in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, lowered his head, and kowtowed. He shouted loudly, "I found it in the helicopter.
"I found it in the helicopter. It's my fault. Please punish me, Superior."
After shouting this, Colonel Luo's heart was in his throat again. He wondered if Zhang Xiaoqiang would kill him after he was no longer of use. Then, he remembered that Zhang Xiaoqiang had given him a gun and bullets to avenge his death. Even if Zhang Xiaoqiang had used him, he would accept it.
Luo Dazuo had just finished shouting when Zhang Xiao Qiang sent a kick over, sending the man flying. Following that, Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked Luo Dazuo's body one after another. Each kick was full of force, throwing Luo Dazuo like a toy doll. Not long after, Luo Dazuo spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing the blood, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the crowd behind him. Ding Hongjue and the others had mostly gotten up. When they saw Zhang Xiaoqiang looking at them, they lowered their heads almost at the same time.
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and looked at Colonel Luo, whose face was covered in blood under the flames. This fellow had almost been kicked to death by Zhang Xiaoqiang and was panting rapidly. When he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang looking at him, he grinned and smiled.
"How dare you steal my gun?
Are you tired of living? I'll teach you a lesson today … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words gave hope to the rest of the people. They thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang had taken responsibility for this matter and could at least deal with Colonel Luo. When they reported to the higher-ups, they could push all the blame onto Colonel Luo. Who knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang's next words would make them bite their tongues?
"Seeing that you are a man, repaying kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. You have the character of a Chinese man. Alright, this land will be under your management in the future. Jiang Xiancheng and the others encountered a flash flood when they went hunting. Not even their corpses were left …"
As soon as he said this, Colonel Luo immediately let go of his apprehension. He knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Everyone else's expressions changed. If that was the case, then Colonel Luo was not guilty of killing people and would be rewarded instead?
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words also made Ding Hongjue and the others feel apprehensive. The more temperamental Zhang Xiaoqiang was, the more they couldn't figure it out. They didn't know the origin of this Silver Flower of Worry that had fallen from the sky and didn't know anything about it. Yet, he had taken responsibility and allowed Colonel Luo, who had defeated his predecessor, to easily take over. He had also ignored the differences between the systems.
"Little Xuzi, Supercilious Eyes, come over here …"
Colonel Luo struggled to stand up. His whole body was still trembling slightly. After nodding to Zhang Xiaoqiang, he shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd automatically separated, revealing two people. One was Little Xuzi with glasses, and the other was Supercilious Eyes with a hateful expression. These two fellows were in the same group as him. Although they looked down on him, they didn't reject him like the others and could be considered to be on good terms with him.
A new ruler brought his own ministers. If he wanted to be the leader, he first had to have his own subordinates. He had to choose a general from a dwarf. These two could be used for the time being. At this moment, the two of them were more nervous than anyone else. They were both patrolmen and had never seen a battlefield before. They didn't have the spirit that a soldier should have. When they saw everyone looking at them, their legs couldn't help but tremble. They walked to the front desk and stood in front of Colonel Luo.
"From today onwards, Little Xuzi will be the logistics officer. Supercilious Eyes will be the head of the unified training department. You guys will take over what they did before. The others will be responsible for what they did before. Also, your pay will be doubled …"
With Zhang Xiaoqiang holding the fort, the handover went smoothly. Little Xuzi and Supercilious Eyes knew that they would be marked as Colonel Luo for the rest of their lives. As long as Colonel Luo was alive, they could live. If Colonel Luo was dead, they would have to die too. The only thing that comforted them was that Colonel Luo was ruthless enough. Zhang Xiaoqiang was willing to be their backer. Colonel Luo's legs were thick enough, so it was worth hugging.
The lifeline of the supply base was the supplies. If the supplies were controlled by Colonel Luo, it meant that the entire base was under Colonel Luo's control. The others had no intention of resisting. Jiang Xiancheng wasn't their father, so it didn't matter if he died. With Zhang Xiaoqiang taking care of everything, even if something happened, they couldn't be blamed. Moreover, Jiang Xiancheng had confiscated their bullets. Even if they resisted, they didn't have the strength to do so. Therefore, they were watching the death of Jiang Xiancheng and the others with the mentality of watching a show.
