Chapter 77 Chapter 77 You have many people and you are amazing, you want to test the nuclear bomb...
Lu Chen apologized and said he was going to the bathroom. Secretary Zeng and Su Qing waited for him outside the room for a few minutes, and then they went to Zhang Jin's office.
Along the way, they didn't see a single person, and the tents were gone. Su Qing asked in confusion, "Aren't those people staying here yesterday?"
Secretary Zeng glanced sideways at the empty space after hearing Su Qing's words. A hint of anger flashed across his eyes. He retracted his gaze, staring straight ahead expressionlessly. "There's something wrong with this ventilation vent. To avoid any danger, we've transferred the personnel in these areas to other locations. Ventilation malfunctions have been increasing more and more recently, and we're trying to figure out how to deal with it."
Secretary Zeng walked in front. Su Qing and Lu Chen could not see his expression. They could only hear him explaining to them in a slightly worried tone. Su Qing stopped talking for a while.
Soon, several people came to the door of Zhang Jin's office. He knocked twice and then opened the door. Zhang Jin saw them come in and greeted them with a smile, "Chief Lu, we have been waiting for a long time. We have prepared the money. Please count it." After saying that, he pointed to the table behind him. There were two rows of suitcases on it, all filled with money.
Lu Chen glanced at it and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Secretary Zhang, I still trust you. Let's go get the supplies together now?"
Zhang Jin signaled Secretary Zeng to find a team of people, each carrying two boxes, and the group walked out in a mighty manner.
When they arrived in front of the helicopter, Lu Chen opened the cabin door, and a cabin full of frozen cabbage and frozen potatoes appeared in front of everyone.
Secretary Zeng and his team placed the cash boxes on the plane and were about to move the supplies.
Bang! There was a loud noise behind me, and the whole ground shook.
Everyone was shocked. Secretary Zeng turned around and saw that the ground not far from the subway station where they came out had collapsed and thick smoke was drifting out.
Secretary Zeng felt a little flustered because Zhang Jin did not come out with them.
Lu Chen looked at the collapsed area and said worriedly, "How could there be an explosion? Is Secretary Zhang in danger?"
Bang! Bang! Two more loud bangs sounded, and the ground shook again with the explosion. Secretary Zeng looked around but didn't see any collapsed areas, and he didn't know where the explosion point was. He couldn't stay any longer and turned around and ordered, "Come back with me to see the secretary!" Then he said to Lu Chen, "Chief Lu, let's go back and take a look first. We can pick up these supplies later."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "We will go back with you. The supplies can't run away here."
Seeing this, Secretary Zeng led everyone and quickly ran to the subway station.
Su Qing and Lu Chen followed behind them slightly.
"The first explosion was caused by the time bomb I placed in my room. The next two explosions should be caused by those soldiers from T City. Go in later and follow behind me to be careful." Lu Chen approached Su Qing and spoke softly to her.
Su Qing said he understood, took out a loaded pistol from his backpack and put it in his pocket.
Not far into the underground passage, they heard a loud cry, and after a few steps they saw a group of people running around.
Secretary Zeng, who was walking in front, reached out and pulled over a person who was giving orders there, asking him what was going on inside and whether the secretary was okay.
"The cause of the explosion is unknown. Several structures have collapsed. The structure is damaged and there may be other problems. A patrol team is buried. We are trying to find a way to rescue them. I'm not sure about the situation at Secretary Zhang's place."
Secretary Zeng shouted angrily, "You useless people! Why are you wasting manpower when they're already buried? The most important thing now is the Secretary's safety. If anything goes wrong with the Secretary, you'll be dead. Go gather everyone and gather at the Secretary's office door."
After saying that, Secretary Zeng continued to lead people inside.
The man stood there, his face filled with indignation. The lives of his patrolmen weren't worth anything? The lives of a dozen or so people in the patrol were just being wasted.
Lu Chen saw the look on the man's face and walked over to pat him on the shoulder. "Brother, I don't think the leaders of your base care much about your lives. In this apocalyptic world, everyone is struggling to survive. Why should they be superior to you? Is such a leader worth your life?"
His voice was slightly bewitching. "In this lawless world, what ability does Zhang Jin have? What use is his previous position now? He only lives comfortably thanks to all of you fighting so hard up front. You should think about yourselves instead. As the saying goes...water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
After saying that, Lu Chen took Su Qing and walked in the direction where Secretary Zeng had left, leaving the man with his head down thinking silently about his words. After a moment, he raised his head and his eyes became fierce.
Yes! It's the end of the world now, and the official positions I held before are useless now! Zhang Jin and Secretary Zeng have done so many unscrupulous things. If they hadn't risked their lives, these two people, who only knew how to bully others, would have died long ago. Why on earth did they listen to Zhang Jin and work for him?
On the way, Su Qing was puzzled by what Lu Chen had just said. "These people have worked for Zhang Jin for so long, and even under such difficult conditions, they didn't turn against him. I think Zhang Jin has some control over these people. Aren't you afraid that he will tell Zhang Jin?"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows casually and said in a low voice, "That man was very angry about what Secretary Zeng said just now. He must be very dissatisfied. I just spent a few words to plant a seed in his heart. If he can lead others to rebel, that would be great. If it doesn't work, it won't affect our plan today."
As the two were walking, they heard a burst of gunfire in front of them.
Lu Chen quickly pulled Su Qing to hide behind a wall. He looked out and saw a crowd of people in front of him. Many people were holding torches and firing into the darkness. From time to time, someone was shot and fell down.
He thought to himself, "What a bunch of idiots! The enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light with torches. Aren't they just bright targets?"
Lu Chen took out his gun and quickly aimed at those people. Since there were gunshots all around, no one noticed him shooting from behind. The people at the back fell one after another...
The people who were originally shooting at the darkness gradually felt that something was wrong. The people in front looked back and found that there were many fewer people behind them.
Someone shouted, "Watch your back! Someone's shooting behind us!"
The crowd became agitated again, and some of them fired shots in the back.
With a few bangs, bullets hit the wall and Lu Chen quickly shrank back.
"Are you scared?" Lu Chen turned his head to look at Su Qing, who was holding a pistol with a nervous look on his face.
Are you scared? Of course she is! She has fought many zombies, but she has never tried to target people... This is killing people... But she also knows that there are few good people among them, so she will not be too sympathetic.
Su Qing secretly prepared himself mentally and shook his head, "No... I'm not afraid!"
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Hide well and don't move."
Then he fired a few more shots, and with each shot someone was shot and fell to the ground.
Soon these people were all eliminated by being attacked from both front and back.
"Is it... Chief Lu?" A shout came from the darkness in the distance.
"It's me! Commander Gao?"
Lu Chen heard that it was Gao Zongming's voice. He signaled Su Qing to be on guard and simply stepped out. After a while, several figures quickly walked out of the darkness.
Gao Zongming looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile, "Chief Lu, thank you for your assistance just now."
"You're too polite, Chief Gao. I didn't expect you to act so quickly."
"Lu Chen! You bastard, are you two in the same group?"
Zhang Jin's exasperated voice was heard, and Lu Chen then noticed that the person walking at the end was holding Zhang Jin, who was tied up and looked quite embarrassed.
He sneered, "Secretary Zhang, how come you're like this after just a while?"
"Bah! Why are you still pretending? I was wondering who would come out to sell supplies in this situation. So this is what you were thinking! Did you discuss this with that old guy in T City? He first sent people to lure me to lock people up, and then you came over. You two are working together from inside and outside to annex our base?" Zhang Jin's face was ferocious, no longer as elegant as when he first arrived.
"Secretary Zhang is wrong. I am indeed here to sell supplies. As for Commander Gao and the others, we just happened to meet. As a Chinese citizen, it is my responsibility to do my best to help them when they are in trouble." Lu Chen looked at Zhang Jin innocently.
Gao Zongming agreed. "Zhang Jin, the commander sent us here to seek help. It was you who detained us. Otherwise, you might not have fallen into our hands."
Su Qing saw that nothing was wrong and walked out. After listening to their conversation, he couldn't help but say, "Secretary Zhang, we came here to lend a hand."
"Who are you? Let our secretary go!"
Secretary Zeng's angry voice came from behind, and then Su Qing and his group were surrounded by about a few hundred people, all of whom pointed guns at them.
Secretary Zeng stepped forward and, using the firelight, could clearly see the men who had tied up their secretary. "Chief Lu! What are you doing? We've always kept to ourselves. Why are you doing this? Release our secretary now! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here today!"
Zhang Jin struggled for a moment, but was kicked hard by the person holding him. He pulled the person forward to face the guns, took out a dagger and put it to Zhang Jin's neck, "Shoot if you dare! Let's see which is faster, your bullet or my dagger!"
The dagger was incredibly sharp, leaving a bloody mark on Zhang Jin's neck with just a light touch. He cried out in pain, "Ah! Don't kill me! If you kill me, you won't be able to leave here today!"
"Chief Lu, if you have any conditions, just state them! Release our secretary!"
"We don't have the conditions, we just don't like Secretary Zhang!" A soldier, with one arm hanging, turned around with a gun in one hand and said casually.
Secretary Zeng frowned, unsure of these people for a moment, and couldn't help but say harshly, "I have hundreds of people here, and you only have six. Everything has to be negotiated. If it really comes down to a fight to the death, you guys won't get any advantage."
Su Qing was happy to hear this. It was finally her turn to perform.
"You have so many people and you're so awesome, but I have a nuclear bomb I want to try?"
A weak voice sounded, and everyone looked at Su Qing who was speaking. Then, except for Su Qing and the others, everyone present widened their eyes and subconsciously took a step back.
The weak little woman took out a small nuclear bomb from somewhere and held it in her hand. She smiled and waved her hand, and everyone's hearts began to waver.
