Yu Fen's words indeed dispelled everyone's thoughts of surrendering.
Cheng Zhen instructed Jiang Wan to distribute the weapons he had brought from the underground arsenal to everyone, mobilizing the entire population to fight and participate in the war!
However, if they continued to resist, they would inevitably face the final fate of being killed.
Perhaps it was the sight of death that ignited everyone's boundless potential, leading to a desperate counterattack and allowing them to perform beyond their usual limits.
Although they were just ordinary city dwellers, they were all very accurate shooters. Even if they couldn't kill with one shot, they could hit the enemy 80% of the time.
The desperate struggle and fierce resistance were so bloody and cruel that it was unbearable to watch.
Deputy City Lord Luo completely ignored the scene of bloodshed and continued to issue orders:
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
"Damn it!" Cheng Zhen and the others cursed.
"He's a madman!"
At the height of the battle, a powerful signal grenades suddenly exploded in the air above them, followed by a drone circling overhead.
Cheng Zhen immediately went on alert and relayed the message: "Everyone be careful! They are enemies, not friends!"
The moment Deputy City Lord Luo saw the helicopter, his expression changed. His previous relaxed and triumphant look, filled with the satisfaction of avenging his great enemy, vanished completely. He looked at him warily and then quickly issued orders to his subordinates.
"Don't stop! Finish the mission and return to town immediately!"
He wanted everyone to hurry and wipe out the wild men in the wilderness before the helicopters could respond.
However, he was too late.
A man descended from the helicopter, holding onto a safety rope with one hand and a gun in the other. He first fired a volley of blank shots at the open space below where Deputy City Lord Luo was standing, as a warning:
"Without the city lord's order, let's see who dares to act on their own!"
Deputy City Lord Luo was, after all, only a deputy; there was still a city lord above him.
The visitor spoke to the Lord, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dared not be disrespectful, and the others dared not make any rash moves.
Seeing that they had quieted down, the man turned to Cheng Zhen's group: "Have you come here to seek refuge with Zhu Sha City?"
Cheng Zhen sneered: "Otherwise, are we here to visit relatives?"
It's no wonder he's temperamental. Not only him, but Long Wanzhi has also submitted several applications to enter Zhusha City, but has not received a response.
He did not believe that the rulers of Vermilion City were unaware of the situation in the wild; they simply ignored it and deliberately disregarded it.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to have Deputy City Lord Luo kill them or turn them all into mutated zombies?
Now you're pretending to be a good guy again?
Unable to figure out what they were up to in their coordinated attack, Cheng Zhen and Long Wanzhi remained highly vigilant.
Faced with Cheng Zhen's unrestrained and wild nature, the man narrowed his eyes dangerously.
After a long pause, he calmly said, "I am Qiu Min, the first guard under Lord Zhang of Zhusha City."
"Lord Zhang has ordered you to clear out the area within a ten-mile radius to expand Vermilion City. Once that happens, you will all be able to move into the city."
After saying this, Cheng Zhen and the others looked at each other, feeling that something was amiss.
Deputy City Lord Luo's face darkened. "Expand Vermilion City to accommodate them?"
The city lord hadn't planned it this way before.
Qiu Min gave him a warning look, signaling him to be quiet, and then explained to Chen Zhen and the others:
“Our Lord Zhang is dedicated to the people, but our Zhusha City is small and has a large population. We wish to take you in, but we are unable to do so. Therefore, we can only ask you to stay outside for the time being.”
"But now, the city lord and the others have come up with a great solution: to expand Cinnabar City and rebuild a high wall ten miles away that can block zombies and mutated plants. In this way, all of you will be able to live inside the city and stay away from the dangers of the wild."
His words were heartfelt, but they came from a loudspeaker, and with the noise of helicopters overhead, even the richest emotions were shattered into pieces.
The people of Xiangcheng and Longyacheng probably understood that they could move into the city and stay away from danger, and at least they could sleep peacefully at night. They were all very excited.
However, Cheng Zhen laughed sarcastically: "That sounds nice, but it's just a city within a city. You and we are still treated differently."
Qiu Min sneered inwardly, but showed it on his face. He said with a heavy heart, "In this oxygen-deprived apocalypse, people's hearts have changed. You are a leader yourself. Put yourself in their shoes. You wouldn't want to risk your own people, would you?"
The Cinnabar City rejected and guarded against them, but how could they wholeheartedly and without reservation want to integrate into the Cinnabar City?
It's nothing more than each going their own way.
If he could get rid of that mad dog, Deputy City Lord Luo, Cheng Zhen would have no objection to the task of clearing out the area within ten miles of the city, since they themselves would indeed benefit after the cleanup.
Qiu Min did indeed keep his word. He whispered something to Deputy City Lord Luo, and soon he led his troops away.
He arrived in a menacing manner, but before he could complete his revenge, he left in a hurry.
Cheng Zhen keenly noticed that his steps were light, and he seemed very happy, yet he was trying his best to suppress it.
What could make her happy at this moment?
Cheng Zhen was suspicious; his first instinct was that it was related to their safe zone in the wild.
The Vermilion City's lip-protecting army retreated quickly, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
Long Wanzhi and Yu Fen arranged for people to clean up the battlefield and assess the casualties.
Yu Fen said angrily, "Dozens of people died on our side, including 12 people with superpowers."
Long Wanzhi was equally indignant: "There are several hundred injured people."
Cheng Zhen frowned: "Quickly bury the deceased in ice and apply medicine to the injured."
Inside the safe zone, outside the RV, everyone was busy.
Inside the RV, the family of three sat cozy at the small dining table for a meal. Having just escaped death and with Jiang Xiaoshu only recently waking up, Jiang Wan felt it was necessary to celebrate. So she opened a bottle of juice and poured a little for each of the two little ones, letting them sip it slowly.
These were things that Jiang Xiaoxin always craved the most. Now that her mother was finally letting her have her way, the little girl was overjoyed and immediately reached for the cup with her two chubby little hands.
Just as she was about to hug the cup and drink it all down, she suddenly stopped. No matter how tempting the drink was, she couldn't care less about it.
His face was deathly pale, his expression one of shock, his small, round eyes wide with terror as he exclaimed:
"Something's wrong! There are huge hordes of zombies outside, an unprecedented number!"
Cheng Zhen, who was about to board the bus, overheard this and suddenly realized what was going on:
When Qiu Min persuaded the man surnamed Luo to leave, it wasn't to give them a way out!
Instead, they were to be used as henchmen and vanguards, as bait, to deal with the horde of zombies that suddenly appeared outside and were gathering towards Vermilion City!
grass!
They thought they had escaped a disaster, but they didn't expect a huge pit ahead!
Cheng Zhen clenched his fists! He was extremely agitated!
Damn it! They're out in the wilderness now, with limited communication! This is incredibly passive!
Those people from Zhusha City are utter scoundrels!
