Ta-da-da~
The sound of fingers tapping on the table echoed around the villa as Xu Xing pondered silently.
Whether the army's arrival signifies a desire for cooperation is of great importance to him.
The largest zombie force in Jinghai City has gradually completed its integration. Despite being ridiculed by millions of zombies, Xu Xing is not arrogant enough to believe that he can be the savior.
The only superhumans and mutated beasts under his command were not fully prepared, and the possibility of failure was extremely high once they clashed.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing smiled again, extended his hand, and said in a confident tone, "Please speak."
Lieutenant Liu sighed and said, "Well, you've been here the longest, so I think you know the current situation in the city."
Most of the city was overrun by zombies, and the threats of hunger, virus, and death constantly loomed over all the survivors.
Last time, we planned to liberate the city directly, but things didn't go as planned. The zombies grew so fast that we, the ordinary soldiers, suffered heavy losses.
This time we're determined to regroup, but we lack personnel, which is why we're seeking your cooperation. You provide the manpower, and we'll provide the supplies; we'll complement each other and achieve a win-win situation.
As he spoke, Lieutenant Liu handed over a sheet of white paper filled with data with great sincerity: "This is a list of weapons we can provide. As long as you agree, we can immediately send small groups of troops to transport the weapons over in large quantities and multiple times."
Xu Xing gently picked up the paper, looked at it, and suddenly froze. [One thousand M16 rifles, and equipment including bulletproof vests, helmets, night vision goggles, and bullets.]
Six thousand fragmentation grenades
[Handheld rocket launchers... high-powered anti-materiel sniper rifles...etc.]
The range of weapons and equipment opened Xu Xing's eyes completely. Apart from the lack of heavy weapons, it was definitely capable of forming a sizable combat regiment.
It's easy to understand why they weren't given heavy weapons. There are two main reasons. The first and most important one is that not many of Xu Xing's men know how to use them. Apart from veterans who have returned from military service, most of them have never even touched a gun, let alone heavy weapons like tanks.
Secondly, the military also had concerns; if Xu Xing were to turn against them, they could suppress him with firepower.
Even though Xu Xing was very excited, he didn't rush to agree. With such a generous reward, he was bound to be entrusted with a great responsibility, and the army would ultimately not lose out.
"Speak, what do our men need to do with these weapons?" Xu Xing placed the paper on the table and said calmly.
"Hehe... well... actually, I want you to have a final showdown with the zombies as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer, otherwise their strength will continue to increase, posing a great threat to everyone." Lieutenant Liu said in a very low voice.
He was afraid that a single word might displease the other person, especially since they were on someone else's turf. His words clearly indicated that he wanted to take advantage of them.
If it were a different, more short-tempered leader, he might have been sentenced to death on the spot.
Xu Xing, however, thought about it seriously for a while, then snapped his hand on the paper and said, "When can the weapons and equipment be delivered?"
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Liu was overjoyed and quickly moved closer, saying in a rapid tone, "Soon. If you have any requests, I will immediately set about sending someone over to transport the weapons once I get back."
Xu Xing nodded, and without saying a word, he called over a subordinate and said, "Send them out." Then he said to his adjutant Liu, "Give my regards to the army commander and tell him to rest assured that I will do my job once I have received the benefits."
"Very good, very good." Lieutenant Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and, still somewhat dazed, led the group out of the villa, feeling as if in a dream until the very end.
This shouldn't be happening. How come everything is going so smoothly? In the story, these warlords should all be extremely arrogant. How come they've become so easily fooled here?
Lieutenant Liu immediately thought of another possibility: could this group of people really be planning to turn against us?
A female assistant standing nearby loosened her grip on the pistol and said with lingering fear, "That man seemed quite sincere."
Lieutenant Liu thought about it and agreed. From any perspective, attacking him would bring no benefit whatsoever. The army was far outside the city, and if they were to attack, the loss of personnel would be obvious.
First, we have to abandon the city's core territory. Large-scale personnel movement could very likely invite a zombie horde attack in advance.
On the contrary, the city cannot be defended without the support of the army.
He had analyzed the situation and knew that within a few days, Xu Xing's forces and the zombies in the city would inevitably have a decisive battle, with the winner taking all and the loser being condemned. Xu Xing had no choice but to seize this opportunity.
Even knowing it's an open conspiracy, he would still jump into it himself.
As for the military, their thinking is much simpler.
After contacting the Southeast Military Region, they directly offered some plans to help the local army deplete the zombies' manpower, which would facilitate a rapid sweep after the Southeast Military Region dispatched troops.
The commander naturally thought of the superhumans in the city, which led to this cooperation.
In the commander's plan, the human forces in the city are only a small part compared to the zombies, but with the support of firepower, they will definitely consume a considerable number of the zombies.
It's starting to smell like a proxy war.
However, the commander actually underestimated the strength of the humans in the city, especially Xu Xing's group.
On the other side, Xu Xing, sitting on the sofa, excitedly took out a bottle of champagne from his pocket and filled it to the brim.
Just then, the other team leaders also returned one after another with their teams. Among them was Su Xixi, who had made a great haul. Behind her followed a large army of dozens of dogs of different colors and breeds.
