Two days ago, Jiang Ling failed to complete Zhang Hao's mission, so she tricked Jiang Wan into entering Zhusha City and placed her under house arrest in order to coerce Cheng Zhen into handing over the bamboo reserves they had in order to complete the mission in Longcheng.
Upon returning to Zhusha City, she was naturally punished by Zhang Hao. After being severely whipped, Jiang Ling took the opportunity to ask for sick leave and stayed in bed.
Her house was located in an area relatively close to Longxiang City, with a protective shield formed by mutated roses above her head, so she wasn't flustered at all and lay in bed pretending not to know about Zhang Hao's summons.
If they pressured her too much, she would have her family reply, "The injury is too severe; I simply can't get out of bed!"
Zhang Hao was furious, but what could he do?
He knew exactly how much force he had used to beat the man, and since the man couldn't get up, it didn't seem like he was faking it. So he ordered Liu Liwen, "Go!"
Liu Liwen was shocked: "Lord City Lord, please spare me! Even Vice City Lord Jiang, who has such a close relationship with them, can't get through to me. What use would I be if I went there?"
He clearly remembered how he was turned away the last time he went to see Cheng Zhen and Jiang Wan!
He doesn't want to be humiliated a second time!
So he seriously played the victim, exaggerating how miserable he was, giving the impression that he was not only miserable but also stupid, unable to complete such a small task.
But at such a critical moment, if he could simply admit his stupidity, he could avoid this deadly task. Why wouldn't he do that?
Just then, the cries for help from outside grew louder and louder.
"Oh no! Zombies have broken in!"
"There are just too many of them, and they're too fierce. We can't hold them off!"
Zhang Hao had no other choice but to go and discuss the matter with Cheng Zhen himself.
When Zhang Hao emerged from the underground air-raid shelter, he was genuinely terrified by the danger overhead. Although the city walls were high, the protective shield formed by rose vines had gaps. The shield was covered with zombies, and as soon as he looked up, he could see the densely packed zombie hands and feet. Peeking out from the gaps, he could also see their bloodthirsty faces.
Zhang Hao, enduring the nausea and terror, was escorted out by the city guard composed of superhumans.
As he approached the gates of Vermilion City, he noticed that the protective shield of mutated plants above his head was becoming increasingly dense, and there were fewer zombies. He could also hear the sounds of zombies being killed, screaming as they fell to the ground.
They dared not go out through the city gate, because there was no protective shield above the city gate, and the area outside the city gate was almost entirely filled with zombies. He stood at the foot of the city wall shared with Longxiang City and ordered Liu Liwen: "Find a way to let me through."
After finishing, he paused for a moment, then instructed again, "Think of a way to get him to come see me."
Liu Liwen outwardly agreed, but inwardly he was groaning. What kind of time is this? He's still putting on airs and arguing. Who does he think he is?
If that guy surnamed Cheng had listened to him, they wouldn't be in this situation now!
Don't they see the current situation? It's obvious that Longxiang City is handling these zombies falling from the sky with ease, while Zhusha City is suffering. The situation is beyond their control, so they should just bow their heads and accept it.
He waved to his men, who brought over a rechargeable megaphone. When the volume was turned up to the maximum, it could be heard through the walls to the other side of the city.
Liu Liwen handed it to Zhang Hao, explaining with a fawning smile: "Lord City Lord, this city wall was originally built to defend against foreign invasion. Look how smooth the wall is, with no footholds at all."
Besides, it's so high that our ladder can't reach it. And most importantly, even if we could reach it with a ladder, we couldn't climb over the wall.
"Look, this city wall is covered in a dense protective shield of mutated plants; we can't get over it. Even if we manage to clear away these mutated vines, wouldn't that just be opening a path for the zombies?"
Zhang Hao admitted that what he said made sense, but he was even angrier at the moment: "This won't work, that won't work, then tell me, what will work?"
“Use this, turn the volume up to the maximum, and the people on the other side of the city wall will definitely hear it. You can use this to have a direct conversation with the man surnamed Cheng.”
This idea is absolutely terrible, but what can we do?
If you take the usual route, you won't see Cheng Zhen at all.
He also didn't have any ability users like those with time portals or earth-based powers who could help him capture Cheng Zhen.
Zhang Hao was extremely frustrated, but he could only obediently pick up the megaphone and shout towards the city wall.
Cheng Zhen, leading a group of superhumans, had actually gained the upper hand. The zombies over Longxiang City were no longer as ferocious and dense as they had been at the beginning, but he noticed that helicopters were still appearing in the sky.
As long as helicopters arrive, it means that zombies will be continuously dropped down.
He cursed under his breath: "Damn it!"
Even if there's a punishment for not completing the mission, is it really necessary to push them to their deaths?
At this moment, he had an even stronger intuition that something had gone wrong with Longcheng, or that Longcheng's attitude towards them had undergone a major change. They could no longer listen to Longcheng in everything and had to make plans for themselves!
So right now, he gathered Long Wanzhi and others: "Let's find a way to destroy those helicopters."
Yu Fen immediately said, "I've been fed up with these machines for a long time. They drop one batch of zombies and another batch comes. Is Longcheng now a zombie-infested city? Where do they get so many zombies? They're even using zombies against us. Are we still the president's subjects?!"
Long Wanzhi also agreed to annihilate the helicopters. Although directly destroying the helicopters from Longcheng would be tantamount to declaring war on Longcheng, in the current situation, if they did not annihilate the helicopters, they would only be waiting for their own destruction.
Because bullets will eventually run out, and Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu's superpowers will also eventually be exhausted. When that happens, without weapons or purification protection, they will eventually become food for zombies.
This is because Longcheng forced them to defend themselves!
But he thought more deeply: "To shoot down a helicopter, we can't rely on just our guns."
That's right, Cheng Zhen is also considering this issue.
Just then, Zhang Hao's voice rang out from the loudspeaker above everyone's heads, calling for Cheng Zhen to come to Zhusha City to see him.
Yu Fen laughed in anger: "They can't beat this group of zombies, so they're asking us for help, right? But look at this, is this the way you ask for help?"
Asking for help and acting so arrogantly, I've really never seen anything like it in my life!
"Boss, what do you suggest we do to them?"
Cheng Zhen looked at Long Wanzhi and suddenly laughed: "Clean up? Why clean up? Haha, weapons capable of shooting down helicopters have been delivered to our doorstep! I'd be more than happy to welcome them!"
