It's only been a year since the apocalypse began, and the national machine hasn't completely collapsed yet.
Therefore, Jin Chaoyang was not afraid of Lu Yuan playing tricks, since no one could bear that responsibility.
So he swaggered into the city with his men.
"Lu Yuan, the regimental commander is here! Why aren't you coming out to greet him?"
As a competent lackey, Lieutenant Cui was extremely competent.
As soon as he entered the city, he started to act like a bully, and people who didn't know better would think he was the regimental commander.
"The commander isn't an emperor. Does he expect us to lay out a red carpet to welcome him?"
"Although Commander Jin is not the emperor, I do think you look quite like a eunuch."
Lin Feng is not a good-tempered person. He has never listened to anyone except his parents and Lu Yuan.
"I think you're tired of living. Do you know who you're talking to?"
As he spoke, Lieutenant Cui prepared to draw his gun.
"Alright, where is Lu Yuanren?"
Jin Chaoyang didn't want to waste any more words with these lowly soldiers and asked Lu Yuan directly.
At this moment, Zhao Qiang stepped forward:
"How dare you, a mere regimental commander, address a major general brigade commander by his first name?"
"Do you intend to commit insubordination?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Chaoyang was taken aback.
"Major General, Brigade Commander?"
"You sealed it yourself, didn't you?"
The lackey, Lieutenant Cui, quickly chimed in:
"Exactly, they must have sealed it themselves!"
Lieutenant Cui looks incredibly irritating.
Are you talking about me?
Just then, Lu Yuan, dressed in military uniform, walked over.
"Commander Jin, we meet again. Welcome to join us with your men."
"Now the strength of Taotie City will rise to another level, and you will be one of my key generals from now on."
Jin Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the stars and ears of wheat on Lu Yuan's chest, which was the standard equipment of a major general.
He had a bad feeling.
"Lu Yuan, how dare you impersonate a major general!"
That's right, Jin Chaoyang doesn't intend to admit it; he's already prepared to make his move.
"Impersonation?"
"This is the letter of appointment and the order to incorporate various units from Qian Anguo, the commander of the Northern Theater Command!"
"Everyone, take a close look."
Lu Yuan took out the document stamped with a red seal and showed it to everyone.
A regiment is not entirely governed by a single regimental commander.
The standard staff also includes a regimental staff officer, adjutant, battalion commander, and so on.
These people had all served in the military for many years and were familiar with official documents. For a time, many of them began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Jin Chaoyang was getting anxious.
However, Lu Yuan continued:
"Jin Chaoyang, I am a major general brigade commander personally appointed by the commander. According to custom, you must salute me!"
Jin Chaoyang's face turned ashen; he knew better than anyone whether this thing was real or fake.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan actually became a brigade commander. This is a huge problem.
The only option now is to deny it outright.
"Lu Yuan, you actually tried to deceive me with a fake appointment letter."
"I think you don't want to live anymore. Guards, seize this man and take him to Xuanwu City to be handed over to the commander for punishment."
Upon hearing Jin Chaoyang's order, Lieutenant Cui decided to go all out.
Although he knew the appointment letter was genuine, his actions just now certainly wouldn't end well.
Even if he were willing to be recruited by Lu Yuan, he would definitely be finished, so...
"Brothers, arrest this imposter who's impersonating a brigade commander!"
Jin Chaoyang's men were still hesitating, but Lin Feng and his group were not.
"Snap, snap!"
The sound of bullets being chambered was as if it had been rehearsed, and more than a thousand soldiers hiding on both sides raised their guns at the same time.
Then it was aimed at the center, especially the four heavy machine guns, which were polished until they shone.
"Lu Yuan, do you dare to rebel?"
Jin Chaoyang quietly reached one hand towards his waist.
Lu Yuan scoffed:
"Jin Chaoyang, you're crying wolf!"
“I am the brigade commander, and I also have the clerks to incorporate troops from the regiment level and below, yet you keep issuing transfer orders.”
"You even intended to attack your superior, Jin Chaoyang, do you want to die?"
Jin Chaoyang's face grew increasingly dark, and he gave a wink to his adjutant, Cui.
The latter implies:
"That's all fake!!"
"Brothers..."
"Bang"
Lin Feng pulled the trigger, and a peanut hit Lieutenant Cui squarely between the eyebrows.
The adjutant, Cui Yuanhao, a minor character, was killed instantly!
"Brothers, we are all soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders."
However, Jin Chaoyang, wielding considerable military power and acting for his own selfish gain, attempted to assassinate his superior, a crime deserving of the death penalty.
"Now I'm giving you a chance. As long as you lay down your weapons and stand on my side, I'll forgive and forget what happened!"
"Once this is over, you will still be my soldiers. Our enemies will be zombies and monsters, not each other killing each other."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to discuss it in small groups.
Jin Chaoyang knew that continuing to drag things out would be pointless, so he had no choice but to take a risk.
So he drew his pistol and fired several shots at Lu Yuan.
In fact, as long as it is a C-rank Spirit Master, a pistol will generally do very little damage to him. If he takes precautions, he will have plenty of time to predict and dodge.
Once you reach rank B, or even rank A, unless you're ambushed and hit in the head, the damage is really minimal.
Jin Chaoyang was not an S-rank Spirit Master, and he had no idea how effective an S-rank Spirit Master's defense was.
That's why they chose to ambush him, taking advantage of Lu Yuan's inattention to kill him. Fearing that one shot wouldn't be enough, they fired six shots in a row.
Lu Yuan had noticed Jin Chaoyang's subtle actions long ago, but he wanted to intimidate him.
Putting aside the fact that he is already a dual S-rank Spirit Master, and with all the bonuses from his S-rank pets, how could these pistol bullets possibly harm him?
Moreover, he also has skills like Rock Skin.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not dodge at all, and just watched as six bullets shot towards his face.
Just as everyone was surprised, worried, and secretly pleased, the six bullets were fired as if a movie had been paused.
They all hovered ten centimeters from Lu Yuan's face, neither advancing nor retreating, nor falling.
"Jin Chaoyang, you have committed insubordination, assassinated your superior, and attempted treason. Die!"
With a loud shout from Lu Yuan, six bullets shot off, "Pfft pfft pfft..."
Suddenly, six holes the size of peanuts appeared on Jin Chaoyang's face.
At the same time, everyone was shocked.
Just how abnormally powerful is Lu Yuan?
Even Su Xiaorou, Luo Qingcheng, and the others gaped in astonishment.
This is unbelievable.
Time paused for three seconds, and Jin Chaoyang's unseeing body began to sway.
Then, with a "thud," he fell to the ground.
"The traitor Jin Chaoyang has already been executed on the spot. Who else wants to join him in rebellion?"
Lu Yuan glanced around. In fact, he was reluctant to kill these people. They were all professional soldiers who had been through fire and water.
They are true soldiers, unlike those recruited by Lin Feng and others, more than half of whom had never even touched a gun before.
