General Zeng and his men all glared angrily at Zhao Yanwen.
General Zeng was furious, his face flushed red. He stepped forward and glared at Zhao Yanwen: "Zhao Yanwen, those two level-two evolved cows are Ye Qingyu's treasures! Qingyu brought them here and provided us with so much high-quality milk..."
Zhao Yanwen interrupted him directly, saying, "General Zeng, please note that I am the person in charge of this base! My decisions must have their reasons!"
A man behind General Zeng said angrily, "Zhao Yanwen! Before the disaster, it was General Zeng who promoted you! After the disaster, it was also General Zeng who thought you were more intelligent and could lead everyone to survive better, so he gradually transferred power to you! But now, for your own selfish reasons, you disregard the interests of everyone. You are simply a sinner to our base!"
Zhao Yanwen glanced coldly at the man and said in a chilling voice, "Is this how you talk to the person in charge of the base? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to deal with you?"
General Zeng was trembling slightly with anger. He said furiously, "Zhao Yanwen, where is Ye Qingrou? Is she dead or alive?!"
Zhao Yanwen smiled coldly and said firmly, "These matters are not under the jurisdiction of your logistics department, nor do they need to be under your jurisdiction. General Zeng, don't forget, I am now the highest-ranking person in charge of the base!"
An officer standing next to General Zeng couldn't help but shout, "Zhao Yanwen, this is dictatorship! You can't trample on the base's rules and everyone's interests like this!"
Zhao Yanwen sneered: "Dictatorship? In this chaotic world, only the strong can decide everything. What use are you people who just chatter here?"
General Zeng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Zhao Yanwen, let's not worry about what has already happened. I just want to ask you, where is Ye Qingrou? Is she dead or alive? And what about Ye Qingyu? Did you send Zhao Ningfei and Zhao Ningyu to deal with her? This matter concerns the entire base! You must give us an explanation!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Yanwen's eyes. He suddenly slammed the cigarette butt on the table and said sternly, "Confess? I'll confess!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yanwen flashed forward. As a level two evolved human, he was extremely fast and instantly arrived in front of General Zeng.
He suddenly threw a punch, the wind whistling through the air, carrying immense power.
Everyone was shocked. They never expected that Zhao Yanwen would suddenly make a move in this situation, especially against General Zeng, who had given him a great promotion!
General Zeng was just an ordinary person, not even a Level 1 Evolver.
He had no time to react; he only felt a tremendous force rushing towards him.
The punch landed squarely on General Zeng's chest, causing his chest to cave in completely.
He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the conference room wall.
The force was so great that it even caused cracks to appear in the walls.
General Zeng coughed up a mouthful of blood, and bloodstains flowed from his five orifices.
He slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open.
He seemed unable to believe, even on his deathbed, that Zhao Yanwen, whom he had entrusted with important responsibilities and promoted all the way, would actually kill him.
The other officers who had come with General Zeng realized what was happening and charged at Zhao Yanwen with angry shouts.
Zhao Yanwen showed no fear. He shouted and attacked the group directly.
Here, with only Zhao Yanwen as a Level 2 Evolver, dealing with several Level 1 Evolvers or ordinary people would be a piece of cake.
In less than a minute, all the men who had come with General Zeng were beaten to death by Zhao Yanwen.
At this moment, Zhao Yanwen was like a mad beast, his eyes filled with madness and disdain.
The others in the conference room stared in disbelief at what they were seeing.
They never expected Zhao Yanwen to do such a thing.
Those few officers were one thing.
General Zeng was Zhao Yanwen's former superior and benefactor!
It can be said that it is because of General Zeng that we have General Zhao today!
But.
Zhao Yanwen actually had the heart to kill the other person with a single punch!
Is this even a normal person?
Zhao Yanwen took out a white towel, wiped the blood off his face and hands, and said calmly, "Release a public announcement that General Zeng and others have left the base."
The conference room was deathly silent, with only the sound of Zhao Yanwen wiping away blood echoing in the air.
The sound was like the footsteps of death, filling everyone with fear.
The crowd looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and disbelief, but no one dared to disobey Zhao Yanwen's orders at this moment.
A young adjutant asked in a trembling voice, "General... what if we get caught trying to cover this up? General Zeng has a very high reputation in the base and many confidants. The truth will eventually come out."
Zhao Yanwen gave him a cold glance.
His gaze was like an ice blade, sending a chill down the adjutant's spine.
Zhao Yanwen said coldly, "Who dares to question us? These are special times. As the person in charge of the base, I have the right to take any measures to maintain the stability of the base! The base has nearly 50,000 people. Losing a few hundred or a few thousand is nothing! Besides, there are countless people outside who want to join our base!"
Looking at General Zeng, whose eyes were wide open in death, Zhao Yanwen muttered to himself, "If anyone's to blame, it's you. You shouldn't have challenged my authority at this time..."
He then looked at the others in the conference room and said coldly, "Two things: First, purge General Zeng's accomplices; second, send more people out to find Zhao Ningfei and Zhao Ningyu! I don't believe they will be completely wiped out!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in fear.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, they knew that the base had been completely transformed.
But they dared not challenge Zhao Yanwen's authority.
Zhao Yanwen could even kill General Zeng, who had been kind to him, let alone these small fry.
......
Nearly 100 kilometers east of Fuxing City lies a vast, continuous mountain range, which is collectively known as the Luoling Mountains.
It lies majestically on the earth like a sleeping dragon, its vast area covered by countless valleys and ravines that resemble the scales on its body.
In this mountain range, which had not suffered much damage before the apocalypse, mutated plants grew in an almost frenzied manner.
Their vines, like thick pythons, meander and climb among the rocks and trees.
The branches and leaves are so lush that they resemble giant green umbrellas, layer upon layer, blocking out the sky and the sun.
This mountain range has become a kingdom of plants.
And the insects that mutated from the radiation found their paradise here.
The density of mutated insects here is much higher than around Fuxing City.
Wang Weinan, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the Revival Army, led dozens of his trusted men through the eerie jungle.
