Zhao Xiaobo, who was standing behind Zhang Huai'an, had a complicated expression. Zhang Huai'an had linked her with Huang Quan several times, but did not mention Mu Peipei. Obviously, the camp had a deep prejudice against Mu Peipei. And this time, Zhang Huai'an was protecting her, but let the female soldiers be surrounded by the police. It was very clear that as long as Zhao Xiaobo was fine, the life and death of the others had nothing to do with the camp.
"Female soldiers, come closer to me. Shoot anyone who blocks your way … Think about your days in the past, do you still want to live like that …"
Zhao Xiaobo was anxious and shouted at the flustered female soldiers. These female soldiers were on the verge of starvation and were picked up by Zhao Xiaobo. For them, there was nothing more terrible than waiting for death to starve. At this moment, all the women were like crazy female leopards, shouting and rushing towards Zhao Xiaobo. The muzzles in their hands were shaking at the police. Some women even raised the weapons they could find to threaten the police. For a moment, the police were scared and retreated, and the women forcibly rushed out to create a gap.
Zhang Huai'an was surprised to see those women with ferocious faces and gnashing teeth. He thought that the female soldiers were still the same as before, waiting to be slaughtered, but he did not expect that these women were more courageous than the men when they went crazy. It should be known that most of them did not have weapons.
Qian Kaixi's face suddenly became ugly. His men had fought with zombies before, but they were broken out of the encirclement by a group of crazy women, and some of their faces were scratched with blood marks.
"Captain Zhang … We've always minded our own business, and I've always been respectful to you. However, this is an internal matter of our colony, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. We're giving in to you not because we're afraid of you …"
After Qian Kaixi said this, the crowd behind him started to clamor. At the same time, some people started to climb up the taller buildings in the market area, aiming their rifles at the heavy firepower on the wall. It looked like they were really preparing for a fight with the camp.
Lu Xiaobo had been sitting in the paratrooper vehicle, observing the situation. Seeing the smell of gunpowder getting stronger, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that they were not targeting the female soldiers, but the camp. Just then, Huang Tingwei's voice came through the communicator, "Captain Lu, there are snipers in the market area. How should we deal with them? They are on the tallest building …"
Lu Xiaobo heard this and smiled, shouting into the communicator, "Just wait and see …"
Just as Qian Kaixi shouted this to Zhang Huai An, he saw the barrel of the paratrooper vehicle behind Zhang Huai An move. The barrel was pointed straight at him and the people behind him. This scared him half to death. Only then did he remember that he had been rash and stood out. Turning his head, he saw that Wen Wen and Sun Kefu were long gone …
"Alright … Captain Zhang … I won't mention the female battalion today. I won't say a word about them anymore. I'm here to exchange for food today. Here are 50 tons of rice tickets. You can exchange them for me. I'll take a 10% commission. Give me 45 tons."
Qian Kaixi wanted to change the topic, but Qian Kaixi's topic made Zhang Huai An frown. He slowly scanned the crowd gathering in the distance, the snipers strolling on the roofs of the buildings, and Qian Kaixi who kept retreating. He sighed in his heart. It had finally come to this. He turned to look at Zhao Xiaobo, who nodded at him and drew his pistol, ready to advance and retreat with him.
The scene quietened down, and the entrance of the camp became the eye of the storm. Once it was activated, it would sweep through the entire colony. Liu Zhenghua's team quietly disappeared, watching from the sidelines. The other forces followed behind Qian Kaixi, advancing and retreating together. Zhang Huai An was left with a hundred or so semi-armed men who had never touched a gun before, and Lu Xiaobu's armored platoon of less than twenty men. As for the five hundred female soldiers behind him who did not even have guns, he did not have any hope.
"Roar!"
An earth-shattering long horn sounded from the lake behind the camp. This long horn was full of energy and resounded through the sky, causing everyone who heard it to turn pale. The lake was still some distance from the camp. For it to be able to reach here, it proved that the thing was not simple. Perhaps a new mutated beast had appeared in the lake.
"Qian Kaixi, you bastard, just you wait. Everyone retreat to the camp, everyone retreat to the camp …"
Zhang Huai An was very fond of mutated beasts, and the appearance of this mutated beast by the lake made him gloomy. If it was the mutated beast from the Yangtze River that had chased the fleet to Liangzi Lake, then their Liangzi Island would be in danger. Their top priority was to retreat behind the wall and wait for future developments.
Zhang Huai An gave the order to retreat to the camp. Qian Kaixi and the people behind him were also in a mess. They did not know what had happened, but they knew that it was definitely not something good. At this moment, Huang Tingwei ran over from the camp with a face full of joy. He stood behind Zhang Huai An and whispered into his ear. Once Huang Tingwei's words entered his ears, Zhang Huai An's face beamed like a chrysanthemum flower, and his brows were furrowed.
"Section Chief Qian … Wait … Don't run … It's fine … It's fine … Everyone, don't run, it's really fine …"
Zhang Huai An ran to Qian Kaixi's side and pulled him back, repeatedly consoling him. Qian Kaixi was very sincere in his persuasion, which surprised them. Could it be that the commotion by the lake had something to do with the camp?
"Our dispatch fleet is back, and they brought back a lot of supplies. They also found a lot of survivors. This is a happy event. Everyone, follow me to take a look … Come, let's go take a look …"
Zhang Huai An seemed to have forgotten about the unpleasantness that had happened before. He pulled the surprised Qian Kaixi towards the lake. Behind them, the others also followed in confusion. Among them, Sun Kefu and Wen Wen, who had disappeared, also stood up and walked towards the lake with their respective subordinates.
The mighty crowd turned the corner and saw a large fleet of boats. The boats were all flat bottomed, and there were no less than thirty to fifty of them. The boats were packed with men and women, and they were jumping off the boats and advancing inland. These people were dressed in rags, and their faces were emaciated. They carried simple luggage on their backs, and they looked at the unfamiliar environment in a panic.
Beside them stood tired militiamen. Hundreds of militiamen carried rifles and shouted at the survivors, telling them to line up and walk towards Zhang Huai An.
Slowly, the crowd gathered on the shore increased, and gradually reached more than 3000 people. These people's vanguard had already arrived in front of Zhang Huai An. The one walking at the front was the team leader Zhao Deyi. He saluted to Zhang Huai An and reported loudly: "Reporting to Officer Zhang, Zhao Deyi has been ordered to bring 3762 survivors to take over. Officer Zhang, please give your instructions."
