It was much easier for Cheng Zhen to see Zhang Hao. He simply opened a portal and brought Zhang Hao to Longxiang City alone.
Zhang Hao originally wanted to call the person to his side, since he had brought so many city guards to protect his safety, but he didn't expect that in the end he would arrive in Longxiang City all alone.
It felt like entering a tiger's den alone.
He was trembling with fear inside, but he forced himself to remain calm. After all, he was the lord of a city and a former high-ranking leader who had commanded the Southwest Military Region. He couldn't possibly be a coward.
"If Lord Zhang wants to see me, why go to all this trouble? You could have just said so."
Since he needed Cheng Zhen's help this time, Zhang Hao completely ignored Cheng Zhen's sarcasm. Moreover, the situation was urgent, with more and more zombies swarming overhead. Every minute he delayed meant that Zhu Sha City would be in danger of falling sooner.
He spoke directly, saying, "Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, we are compatriots and should fight together. To tell you the truth, I have come to you to request your support."
Cheng Zhen didn't beat around the bush: "If you want us to help you, that's not a big problem, but we have conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Zhang Hao became wary, his teeth itching with hatred, knowing that this Cheng guy was no good.
"We need shells that can shoot down helicopters."
Zhang Hao's entire face changed.
"You want to shoot down the helicopters from Dragon City?"
"Do you know what shooting down a helicopter from Dragon City means?"
Cheng Zhen nodded calmly: "I know, it's like we're directly waging war against Longcheng."
"You knew and you still did it?"
Zhang Hao knew Cheng Zhen was no good, but he didn't expect him to take advantage of the situation like this. Once he provided them with ammunition to shoot down Long Cheng's helicopters, it would be as if Zhu Sha City and Long Xiang City were tied to the same boat, and both would be opposing Long Cheng.
"Are you crazy?" Going against Longcheng is suicide, and he doesn't want to die.
Cheng Zhen shrugged indifferently: "Since you refuse to cooperate, then go back and figure out how to deal with these zombies yourself."
After saying that, he pointed to the sky and said in a cool tone, "Don't blame us for not warning you. Dragon City has unilaterally declared war on us. As long as we live, these zombies will keep appearing."
Reminded by him, Zhang Hao looked up and indeed saw helicopters coming and going in the sky, with wave after wave of zombies dropping from the air, as if they intended to annihilate them all.
His feelings were extremely complicated. He could hear the screams of the city's inhabitants on the other side of the wall, as well as sporadic gunshots. Ammunition would eventually run out, and then they would truly become meat on a chopping block, with nothing to do but wait for death.
Although Zhang Hao is very ambitious, he is actually a decent city lord.
Before the apocalypse of oxygen deficiency, he also cared deeply for his people.
However, fate did not favor him and did not allow him to evolve superpowers. Therefore, after the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, he became extreme and cowardly, only considering his own safety and neglecting the safety of the people.
But all of this was because he wanted to live. Now, the life and death of himself and the entire city were in his hands. He hesitated for only a moment before finally agreeing.
"Okay, but all the shells were placed in the north of the city, and that area is now overrun with zombies."
He disagreed with firing artillery shells to shoot down the helicopter, otherwise their entire city would be overrun by zombies. Rather than that, he agreed to cooperate with Cheng Zhen and the others to fight against Dragon City.
At least, they still have some time to survive. As long as there is time, there is still hope. What if something unexpected happens?
Cheng Zhen could tell he was playing tricks, so he said to him, "Point out the exact location. I have earth-type ability users here. They will be responsible for getting the shells out. As soon as you get the shells, I will help you wipe out the zombies."
I never expected him to be so cunning.
Zhang Hao had no choice but to agree, not only marking the exact location but also telling them the correct way to get in.
It turned out that the place where heavy weapons were stored was protected by an array, and they couldn't get in without finding the correct entrance.
So Zhao Xiaojun led a group of earth-type ability users directly from underground to the designated location, and then found the entrance according to the instructions. After they transported the shells back to Longxiang City, Cheng Zhen sent people over to help.
When the first helicopter was destroyed, the other aircraft obviously didn't react until one helicopter after another was destroyed, at which point the other aircraft began to evacuate.
Yu Fen and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "These people are quite pragmatic."
Long Wanzhi's expression was rather solemn: "I'm afraid this is just an appetizer, and the main event is yet to come."
With their help, after a night of fierce fighting, the zombies in Vermilion City were all killed. This time, their casualties were heavy, and the ammunition consumption in both cities was also very high.
Cheng Zhen's side is doing alright, thanks to Jiang Wan's plant-based weapons. Since most of them are superhumans, they haven't consumed much weapon ammunition.
The situation in Zhusha City was much worse. They had used up more than half of their weapons and ammunition, leaving them almost completely depleted. Moreover, many soldiers had sacrificed their lives in this battle.
While everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, Cheng Zhen opened the portal again and brought Zhang Hao in front of her.
Zhang Hao was furious. He was, after all, the lord of a city!
What's with his habit of opening portals to different time periods and grabbing people all the time? Does he even respect him anymore?
Cheng Zhen ignored his awkwardness and went straight to the point, asking for their military factory.
Zhang Hao's face changed drastically as if he had been stepped on, and he wanted to jump up: "Anyway, don't push your luck. You helped us kill the zombies, and I provided you with shells to help you blow up the helicopter. We're even now."
"But you're out of ammunition. None of us can guarantee this will be the last large-scale zombie attack. What will you do if there's another zombie attack and you're out of weapons and ammunition?"
Zhang Hao remained silent with a sullen face, but in his heart he was thinking that he would certainly produce more weapons and ammunition.
He's not stupid. In this oxygen-deprived apocalypse, there are waves of zombies coming one after another. Even if they aren't zombies, there are so many mutated plants and monsters outside. How can he survive without bullets?
But this was his own plan, and he didn't intend to share it with Cheng Zhen and the others.
They're only working together temporarily, so why should he reveal his hand to them?
Because he had such a plan, as soon as he returned to Zhusha City, he immediately ordered people to change the entrance to the formation.
So what if he just revealed the entrance?
Without his approval, no one can even think about getting their hands on those weapons!
