Yang Tinghe looked at Wang Long with a sinister grin.

But his smile froze the next second as his fist struck Wang Long's chest, feeling as if he had hit a steel plate.

A sharp pain shot through my hand, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

Yang Tinghe screamed and was sent flying backward.

It slammed hard against the concrete wall, causing the wall to tremble and eliciting gasps of surprise.

Wang Long instantly arrived at the spot where Yang Tinghe had fallen, grabbed Yang Tinghe with one hand, and lifted him into the air.

"I just gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it!"

Wang Long looked at him indifferently, then forcefully snapped his neck with his right hand.

Yang Tinghe breathed his last slowly in shock, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe he had died so casually.

Wang Long casually tossed the body aside and looked at the other people in the shelter.

"Do you want to be like him?"

The team members also looked at them with murderous intent, ready to kill them at any moment.

The warriors of the alliance looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

One of the bolder guards shouted.

"I surrender, I am willing to submit!"

Wang Long looked at him with a smile and said calmly.

"Very good, what's your name?"

"Report! My name is Liu Xiu, and I am the squad leader of the second squad of the first battalion of the base!"

Wang Long nodded and said casually.

"You're a smart man. From today onwards, you will be in charge of all the armed forces in this base!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected that he would receive such great benefits simply for being the first to surrender.

You have to understand that the military management authority over the entire base is a very powerful position, one that I would never have been able to obtain in my entire life.

"Thank you, sir! I will do my utmost, even unto death!"

"I hope you keep your word, otherwise, this will be your fate!"

Wang Long pointed at Yang Tinghe.

Liu Xiu felt a chill run down his spine and dared not entertain any improper thoughts.

Eager to make a name for himself, he immediately revealed the news of the alliance's military deployment to Wang Long.

"My lord, according to their marching route, they will arrive in another hour!"

Wang Long nodded casually, showing no sign of nervousness.

Subsequently,

Liu Xiu guided the members of the War God Team to carry out a comprehensive takeover operation.

They encountered no resistance throughout the entire process, and after learning that Yang Tinghe was dead, everyone surrendered.

After touring the entire shelter, Wang Long gained a basic understanding of its layout.

The base is not large, only about one-third the size of the Ares base.

The 500-strong garrison is mostly composed of ordinary civilians with little combat capability; some of them don't even know how to use a gun.

The grain reserves at the base are adequate, enough to last the entire base for two years.

According to Liu Xiu, this place was originally an official sanctuary, but due to a rebellion, the highest official leader was killed by Yang Tinghe and a group of armed men under his command, who then seized control of the base.

The authorities had previously stockpiled a considerable amount of food in the shelters, and this is only a small portion of it. Most of the food has already been transported to the Alliance headquarters.

"It seems this so-called alliance headquarters is quite ruthless, but their method is quite good—using food to control the various bases below. We can learn from this method later!"

Wang Long pondered to himself.

One of the team members quickly walked towards Wang Long and whispered:

"Captain, a group of troops, about 1,000 strong, has arrived about one kilometer from the base. They are expected to arrive in five minutes!"

Wang Long was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected these guys to arrive so quickly, even faster than he had anticipated.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Facai was seething with anger.

Since the Wangzhuang mine incident, he hasn't had a good life. People from various bases have come to him to cause trouble, treating him like a grandson.

The key issue is that he doesn't dare to put up any resistance. These are all powerful forces, and any one of them could easily wipe him out.

Now, finally, an obscure little force has come to provoke him. He can finally avenge his humiliation.

Upon receiving Yang Tinghe's distress call, he rushed over without stopping.

Zhang Facai sat on a sled, with five Alaskan Malamutes pulling it hard in front of him.

Zhang Facai frowned slightly as he held his phone.

"What's going on? I've called Yang Tinghe several times, why isn't he answering? Is the battle at a stalemate?"

What a useless person. There are only 200 people on the other side, and they are having such a hard time. It seems that it is time to change the leader of this base.

"Everyone, speed up and get there as quickly as possible!"

Zhang Facai shouted loudly to the marching troops.

With his rapid pace, the main force quickly arrived at Shelter No. 5, the location where Yang Tinghe was.

At this moment, about 200 soldiers carrying long swords stood in neat rows on the open ground in front of the shelter. Each of them had a solemn expression and exuded a murderous aura.

Zhang Facai immediately recognized that this group was no ordinary team; they were clearly a regular army, and a battle-hardened elite force at that.

No wonder Yang Tinghe hasn't made any phone calls; this team is indeed difficult to deal with.

But where is Yang Tinghe?! Could it be...?

Zhang Facai's heart tightened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He stepped off the sled, quickly walked to the front of the group, and looked at someone opposite him. He said in a deep voice...

Where is Yang Tinghe?

"Dead!"

Wang Long said crisply and clearly.

"How dare you kill someone from our alliance? Do you really think we're going to bully you?"

Zhang Facai was furious, wishing he could tear the guy apart with his bare hands.

However, since this guy was able to kill Yang Tinghe in such a short time, he must also be a superhuman. Before figuring out the other party's strength, I can't make a move rashly, lest I be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Wang Long looked at the furious Zhang Facai, put on a calm and collected expression, and said indifferently.

"I've been brave since I was a child. I learned to steal when I was one, to rob when I was two, to eat rat poison when I was three, to crawl through sewers when I was five, and to beat up an old Taoist priest when I was six!"

Wang Long's mocking expression fueled Zhang Facai's anger even more.

"I don't care which base you're from, but daring to kill someone from our Co-creation Base Alliance is the biggest regret of your life!"

"You guys, take him down!"

After making his threats, Zhang Facai ordered his three superhuman subordinates to deal with Wang Long, while he himself retreated behind them.

Wang Long looked at this cowardly guy with disdain. He spoke more harshly than anyone else, but when it came to actually fighting, he would hide in the back. It was really hard to understand how this guy managed to convince his men to risk their lives for him.

Zhang Facai's subordinates, several superhumans, exchanged glances and then surrounded Wang Long...
