In the past, the bustling Shanghai had the reputation of being a city that never sleeps. Even in the middle of the night, it was still bright in the sky, as though the Milky Way was scattered on the ground. However, all of this had turned into smoke and dissipated in the apocalypse. Countless tall buildings in the city were like dead beasts, silent in the darkness. The tall and majestic shadows exuded a cold and desolate aura under the night light, like the Forest of Horrors in a fairy tale. Only at the end of the night in the distance, the faint light from the fire made the darkness a little more red.
In the front line of the fortifications near the city, Zhao Deyi sat at the side with an ugly expression as he smoked. A few officers beside him were shouting incessantly, asking for permission to fight. Outside, on the brightly lit open space, 500 elite soldiers were ready to fight. The black steel guns in their hands were neatly folded in front of their chests, their eyes filled with anger. The suppressed anger in the hearts of the hundreds of people caused them to be surrounded by a murderous aura. In front of them, light machine guns and grenade launchers were neatly arranged, as though they were soldiers waiting for inspection.
Beside the hundreds of soldiers sat a man who was crying. The man's military uniform was stained with blood under the light. In the blink of an eye, the gauze was also dyed red. All the soldiers stared at the man who was crying, accumulating their anger in silence. The man was still shouting, "We didn't do anything, we only went to ask them for a car. A hundred of our brothers went and only I came back. My ears were cut off by them, we didn't do anything, they are looking down on us … Our brothers are still in their hands …"
The man's crying was unusually ear-piercing. Blood seeped out from his severed ear and flowed down his neck to his shoulder, drenching his military uniform. However, he did not care about it and continued to curse the evolvers and armed men in the city. His curses were naturally heard by Zhao Deyi, and the officers around him could not hold it in any longer. One of them shouted, "Division Commander, when did we suffer such a huge loss?
Although these 100 or so people were all newly recruited by Brother Cockroach, they were still considered to be on the same side, right?
When Zhang Xiaoqiang sent them to ask for something, they were also very polite. When the two countries were at war, the envoys were not beheaded. If they went there, not only would they be detained, but their ears would also be cut off. This was a slap in the face. Zhang Xiaoqiang had to go there personally to ask for the people. Otherwise, they would kill one person every half an hour. This was a declaration of war. What were you waiting for?
Bring our brothers and fight! Let them know the consequences of offending us … "
"Division Commander, even if you want to wait for Zhang Xiaoqiang to make a decision, our brothers are still tied up in their hands. They kill one every half an hour. Two hours have passed now. If we wait until tomorrow, half of our brothers will be gone. If Zhang Xiaoqiang blames us …"
"That's right. The reason we're stationed here is to intimidate the city. Now that we've suffered such a huge loss, if we don't do anything, people will think that we're all soft persimmons. Those brothers who have been detained will be miserable …"
They had never been bullied like this before. Since they had bullied them, they had to get back at them. As for whether Zhang Xiaoqiang would blame them, they did not think too much about it. They all knew Zhang Xiaoqiang's character. If they did things well, even if Zhang Xiaoqiang was angry, it would be all bark and no bite. However, if they failed and caused trouble, they might be killed. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang would still lead them to get back at them. Based on Zhang Xiaoqiang's character, they did not need to be too afraid of the so-called punishment. "Stop talking, I know the gravity of this matter.
We do not know the situation in the city, and we do not even know the terrain. If we rush in, we will be wiped out by them. Their high-end combat power is all evolved humans. Even if you are elites who have survived hundreds of battles, you are still not enough to deal with them. You all know how many casualties You Yinhua caused in the cockroach base. Even if it was us, we might not be able to stop them. Now that Zhang Xiaoqiang is busy with the evacuation, we have to wait for Zhang Xiaoqiang to come, then we will see his arrangements … "
After Zhao Deyi said this, he was a little angry. According to his previous temperament, even if Zhang Xiaoqiang did not give the order, he would still bring his men to take revenge. But now, it was different. He knew that the zombies were approaching, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was planning to kill the evolved humans in the city. If their impulsiveness ruined Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan and caused too many casualties, he was afraid that his position would come to an end. Now that he was one of the top few in Hubei's First Revival Army, there would be plenty of opportunities for him to advance in the future. He could not afford to fail miserably in a small ditch like Shanghai.
Zhao Deyi's answer did not convince these officers. These officers were all people who had struggled out of hell during the Sanshan Defense War. Even when the reinforcements had run out of ammunition and food, they had to count the water droplets when they drank water. But the moment they broke through the encirclement, they killed 300,000 zombies in front of the rescue team. Almost each of them killed 100 zombies, which showed how fierce they were. This group of fierce guys had always been the most unruly in the army. Except for Zhang Xiaoqiang and Huang Quan, no one could make them submit. In order to maintain the fierce nature of the troops, Zhang Xiaoqiang deliberately allowed them to be more arrogant, which made them more instinctive. Now that Zhao Deyi said that the evolved humans in the city were very powerful, it made them even more unhappy. Together with the neat and silent formation outside, they formed a double pressure on their direct superior, just to make Zhao Deyi give in.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang is here..."
The announcement outside made Zhao Deyi let out a long sigh of relief. He pushed away the regiment commanders in front of him and said loudly,
"Now you don't have to look for me. Zhang Xiaoqiang is outside. You can look for him. Whatever Zhang Xiaoqiang says..."
Zhao Deyi, who was in a daze and had a bellyful of anger, was the first to rush out, and when he saw Zhang Xiao Qiang getting off the car with a black face, he immediately shouted: "Brother Cockroach, we brothers can't take this lying down, if it wasn't for you personally giving the order, we would have rushed over long ago. When have we ever suffered such a loss, the brothers have already gathered, let's …."
"Everyone, listen to my order..."
Zhang Xiao Qiang did not even look at the aggrieved Zhao Deyi as he roared at the soldiers who were lined up neatly. Zhao Deyi who was running towards Zhang Xiao Qiang stopped abruptly as he turned his head and bellowed: "Attention …"
"Swoosh..."
The loud sound of the soldiers standing at attention stopped the man who was crying. He covered his ears and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had a serious face. Zhang Xiaoqiang took a few steps forward and stood in front of the soldiers. He shouted loudly, "At ease... Everyone is dismissed. Except for those who are on duty, everyone else is to go back to the camp to sleep. This is an order..."
As soon as the order was given, the soldiers almost could not help but question. However, they were elites after all. No matter how angry they were, they still obeyed the order. Under the leadership of their company commanders, they turned around and ran back to the camp. The company commanders dared to argue with Zhao Deyi, but they did not dare to argue with Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhao Deyi looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang dumbfounded and asked weakly, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, do you want to deal with them in the morning?
We have night combat training, and every platoon has night vision goggles. We won't be at a disadvantage if we have to fight at night. Even if they have evolved humans, we have our own special forces. I have also informed Lou Fanjun, he will be here in a while … "
