So they ordered a switch to artillery fire, refusing to believe the defenses could hold out for long. More importantly, they were convinced that it was being operated by superhumans.
Because they had never seen such a defense system before; even though there was nothing on top of the villa complex, it was as if there was an indestructible membrane.
The artillery fire exploded in the air, completely missing the villa complex.
The people inside the villa complex were also shocked, especially Feng Xuanlang and Commander Li. When Yue Wu left, his last words to them were, "If a powerful enemy attacks, do not leave the villa complex easily. Defenses have been set up here. Once the external defenses are breached, use the skills you have practiced every day to carve out a path."
At the time, they didn't quite understand what this external defense was, and thought it was just mutated thorns. It turned out to be such an incredible sight, capable of withstanding even guns and cannons.
They understood even more clearly in their hearts that music and dance were not for ordinary people!
Seeing that their efforts had yielded no results, the men in suits grew angry. "Are you all so smug? Let me tell you, we have plenty of ammunition, but how long can your defenses hold out? If you wait until things come to a head, you'll all be dead."
The officer next to him frowned. Although they were now under the command of these men, they had never intended to harm innocent people, so they were very dissatisfied with the "dead end" they had just been told.
The men in suits were getting impatient. "I'll give you a chance. If you hand over the professors from the South City Research Institute, we can let you go."
This was the only delaying tactic they could think of. A prolonged stalemate was not their goal. They would take the professor back now and deal with this place later.
Xiao Heng couldn't stand their attitude and spat, "Bullshit! You think you can give us a chance? Why don't you come in? You can't even get in and you're still talking big. Aren't you ashamed? You're really giving us face."
Sister Zhang, holding a gun in one hand, pointed it at the shouting man and said angrily, "Who do you think you are? You think you're all doomed? Do you think you're the emperor? The Qing Dynasty is long gone, are you far behind? And all of you, do you deserve the uniforms you wear?"
Xiaoqi immediately stood up and said, "My dad was a firefighter who died saving people. I'm proud of him, and I want to be like him when I grow up. But you've dirtied that uniform that symbolizes honor. You can't do that, boohoo~" As she spoke, the little girl started crying.
For a soldier, that was his belief, and he wouldn't allow these people to damage it.
In an instant, many soldiers lowered their heads. In recent days, they had done many things that even they themselves did not understand, but their first principle was to obey orders.
The officers standing at the front felt ashamed as they looked at the child crying.
From the moment their leader ordered them to attack the South City Military Region Research Institute, supposedly to prevent the theft of the latest research on suppressing the zombie virus, the South City Military Region was destroyed, countless comrades died, and even many survivors joined in the resistance to help the professor evacuate. At that time, they wondered if what they were doing was really right.
At this moment, the answers all seem utterly ridiculous. They were supposed to be protecting the professor, but now they're forcing ordinary people into this mess. What kind of ridiculous arrangement is this?
At this moment, Yue Wu and Ji Ye also arrived.
Moreover, Zhou Haoran's team of soldiers and Huang Guoqing's Ji's Hotel self-defense force arrived at the same time.
In an instant, the situation on the field reversed, becoming four against one.
The three men in suits panicked. Why were so many reinforcements arriving all at once, and why did they seem to have ill intentions?
The people in the villa complex got excited the moment they saw Lewu, calling out her name. The children were especially excited and wanted to jump out, but Lewu made a quiet gesture, and everyone calmed down.
Zhou Haoran merely nodded to Yue Wu from a distance, then roared at the people surrounded in the middle: "I am Zhou Haoran, the captain of the Xuanying Special Forces of the Southern Military Region. I know some of you brothers have seen me in the military region's competition. I want to say that as soldiers, obeying orders is our duty, but our ultimate goal is to protect our country. Look at what you are doing now? Pointing guns and cannons at the people? Where is your integrity? Where is your backbone? You can't distinguish right from wrong and obey those clowns? Do you have any respect for your past selves?"
After Zhou Haoran finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Before long, someone threw away the gun in their hand, and one by one, more and more people made the same move.
The three men in suits standing in the middle got anxious and immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Pick up your guns, that's an order!"
They approached several officers. "I ordered you to command them to pick up their guns. We're here to pick up the professor. This is an order from above. Do you dare disobey?"
Several officers did not answer. One of them, a slightly overweight man, suddenly became enraged and slapped the officer on the far side, yelling, "I'm asking you a question! You...!"
Before the rest of the conversation could finish, the officer kicked the man in the stomach, and then the three of them attacked together, giving them a sound beating. Their teeth and wigs fell out, and they were beaten so badly that they didn't dare to utter a sound.
Afterwards, the officers ran up to Zhou Haoran and said something, but it was clear that they had great respect for him.
The music and dance performance was like watching a play, but it prevented the soldiers from fighting amongst themselves, which was a gratifying outcome.
Afterwards, Yue Wu didn't pay attention to the next arrangements. Instead, she rushed to the villa complex, where a lot of people gathered around her in an instant.
People were all concerned about the latest developments in music and dance, creating a lively atmosphere.
Ji Ye then came to Zhou Haoran's side and said, "Some people should be purged, otherwise more innocent people will die in vain. They stand in high positions and have no heart for the people. They are the biggest scourge."
Zhou Haoran nodded in agreement, because he had met Ji Ye before, and what the other man said was exactly what he needed to do now.
But things weren't that simple. Just from his conversation with those officers, he knew that the air-raid shelters were now completely in their hands.
If they want to force their way in, they'll probably need to plan carefully.
Ji Ye spoke up, "We came here because we discovered that someone was conducting experiments on turning living people into zombies inside the air-raid shelter. Such behavior must be prohibited. The reason they are so eager to pursue the professor is because they don't want the central government to obtain the anti-zombie virus drug and ruin their intention to control power through the virus. Therefore, I can have my people assist us, and City A cannot be allowed to become any more chaotic."
