Seeing these soldiers, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt more at ease. The appearance of these people meant that Gus was at least under control. Otherwise, he would not have mobilized so many armed forces to deal with a mere 20 people.
"Clap clap clap …"
A few crisp claps broke the tense silence. Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that on the wall in front of them, there was a platform that was slowly sliding outwards. The platform was also filled with elite soldiers. In the middle of the soldiers, there was an old man wearing a general's uniform. The old man was firmly protected in the center, and the soldiers in front of him could block him at any time.
The moment this person appeared, Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately raised his vigilance to the maximum. This was a real old man, his hair was white, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. There were also some slight wrinkles on his cheeks, and he seemed to have taken good care of himself. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was at least 60 years old.
A 60-year-old general was normal before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, it was almost impossible. Even Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen hundreds of thousands of survivors, and none of them were over 50 years old. There were not many who were over 40 years old, and most of them were young people in their teens and twenties.
The old man in front of him definitely did not age due to the pressure of the apocalypse. Looking at his bright and sharp eyes, his white and soft palms, and the Lieutenant General insignia on his shoulder, Zhang Xiaoqiang unconsciously moved his feet, and straightened his body to look at the general.
"Not bad … Not bad at all. You actually managed to find this place. As an enemy, I admire your courage, but as a soldier, I despise your stupidity. Do you think that you can rely on an evolved person who has lost his mind to attack our core area?"
The lieutenant general's voice was calm and low. There was no so-called cadence, but it carried a trace of intimidating penetrative power, making people subconsciously feel a sense of reverence. This was especially so when the hundreds of elite soldiers around him pointed their guns at the people who were being aimed at.
"You killed the one in red?"
Zhang Xiao Qiang didn't care about the general's sarcasm, nor did he care about the dense laser dots hovering above his head and body like flies. The lieutenant general spoke calmly, and Zhang Xiao Qiang's words weren't bad either. It was as if he wasn't talking to a general, but a random old man on the street. He didn't feel any pressure. His voice wasn't loud, but it similarly had a soul-stirring penetrating power.
"Why?
You want to save him? "
The corners of the general's mouth curled up slightly, his upper body leaning back slightly, as if re-evaluating this audacious new era golden oak officer. Zhang Xiao Qiang turned his head to look at the surrounding elite soldiers whose expressions couldn't be seen, shrugging and saying, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I'm also here to kill him. Since you've already dealt with him, we can talk about other matters …"
"Hahaha … Interesting. You want to talk to me about surrender?
21 people dared to enter my core area. One had a mental breakdown and committed suicide, and the remaining 20 still dare to boast shamelessly? "
The Lieutenant General didn't believe Zhang Xiao Qiang's words. Other than ridicule, there was a hint of mockery in his tone, like a house cat playing with a mouse. Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at the Lieutenant General and narrowed his eyes. His eyes swept left and right, and a wave of anger surged in his heart. No matter what, he was the leader of a faction of a million. Even if this person was a Lieutenant General, he couldn't be offended like this.
"Where is the Storm Queen Zhuo Mingyue?
Have her come out to see me … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly pulled Zhuo Mingyue out. The Lieutenant General's eyes flickered, and his expression was somewhat unnatural. He pretended to be disdainful.
"Who are you talking about?
I don't have any Queen or Mingyue here. Immediately put down your weapons and wait to be dealt with. I'll give you ten seconds. Ten … Nine … "
The countdown began. As the Lieutenant General counted down, the smell of gunpowder filled the entire hall. The soldiers around Zhang Xiaoqiang were almost in despair. They all looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was standing in the center. Zhang Xiaoqiang's finger on the trigger twitched slightly. The corner of his mouth opened slightly. The order to counterattack was already in his mouth.
"Pa da …"
The sound of gunfire rang out. The black G36 rifle was thrown on the smooth white floor and slid forward. It was followed by two submachine guns, a G82 sniper rifle, a P8 pistol, and a Type 08 rocket launcher.
After throwing away these weapons, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and threw out the two spare military knives. After he threw out all the weapons, the red dots on his body rapidly decreased. Finally, there was one each on his forehead, throat, and chest. The other soldiers also threw out their weapons, and the main and secondary weapons of the twenty people piled up on the floor.
The Lieutenant General nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the white wall under the platform slowly moved to reveal a large door. A group of fully armed elite soldiers rushed out and surrounded Zhang Xiaoqiang and the others in the center, separating them from the weapons.
The nineteen soldiers raised their hands and looked angrily at the muzzles aimed at them. Although they were unwilling to be captured without firing a single shot, they did not blame Zhang Xiaoqiang. Facing an enemy that outnumbered them by more than ten times, this was perhaps the best method.
The disarmed soldiers did not move. The Lieutenant General looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was standing with his hands by his side. His eyelids kept twitching as if he was considering whether or not to kill them. After a while, he turned around and left without looking at them, as if these people were no longer worth his energy.
Zhang Xiaoqiang also raised his hands and gave the people beside him a look, telling them to pay attention to the disguised explosives on his waist. This immediately made everyone feel at ease. At least they still had the means to perish together. The soldiers regained their confidence, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have much hope. He was only trying to calm the soldiers' hearts. The explosives themselves did not have any meaning here, and they were not human bombs.
The weapons were confiscated at the first moment. The arrogant soldiers walked forward and used the butt of their guns to make these people line up. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoqiang received some respect. No one used force to threaten him, and no one asked for the Rat King Blade on his waist.
Then they were herded into the front door. The twenty people became prisoners in this strange place. Zhang Xiaoqiang led the way and was herded into a room with many metal fences. This place was not much smaller than the field outside. Countless single rooms separated by metal fences filled the room like a game of Go. Most of the squares were filled with zombies.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and his soldiers were each allocated a single room. They were scattered far apart from each other. There were zombies all around them, as if they were surrounded by zombies.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the backs of the soldiers as they left. He sat cross-legged on the floor, but his eyes were constantly looking at the surveillance cameras around him. His hands unconsciously touched the Rat King Blade on his thigh.
All the zombies in the room went berserk. They constantly stretched out their hands to pull on the metal fences. Soon after, their hands were burned by the electric current passing through the metal fences. Under the stimulation of this electric current, the zombies became even more berserk, but they could not escape from the fences. This caused the zombies to anxiously circle around in the single room.
Zhang Xiaoqiang sat quietly. The surrounding soldiers were looking for Zhang Xiaoqiang's figure. They were not afraid of these zombies. In this place where they had lost their freedom, they needed to see how Zhang Xiaoqiang would perform.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's performance made these people feel at ease. They also learned from Zhang Xiaoqiang and sat quietly in the middle of the fences. However, they did not know that Zhang Xiaoqiang was more anxious than ever. He did not know how long Yue Yang could defend, and he also did not know what happened to Zhuo Mingyue. This place was being closely monitored. How could he find an opportunity to solve this problem?
Just as he was racking his brains, time passed minute by minute. As time passed, Zhang Xiaoqiang's forehead was covered in cold sweat. With a bang, the metal door was opened from the outside. Two soldiers with cold expressions walked in. The moment these two soldiers appeared, Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed them.
Both of these soldiers had suffered from serious flesh wounds. One of them had a bandage on his forehead, while the other had his arm in a sling. They didn't have any weapons on them, and even their uniforms weren't neat and tidy. They looked very casual, making it hard to feel the temperament of soldiers.
Compared to the disdain of the elite soldiers, Zhang Xiaoqiang became serious. He carefully observed the two. He had seen many evolvers, so he could naturally see the difference between these two and ordinary people. To put it bluntly, evolvers were arrogant. They had their own unique aura, and the stronger they were, the more arrogant they were.
The two soldiers walked into the cell where the zombies and Zhang Xiaoqiang were imprisoned. Their eyes searched the hundreds of zombies. Obviously, they did not come to see the zombies. As they locked their eyes on the humans, they immediately left. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was hiding in the corner, seemed to understand that these two people were looking for him.
