This sudden scene left Zhou Xuemin and the others dumbfounded, staring at the gun barrels pointed at them and the armed men lying in pools of blood.
Many people were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
Old Sha was so frightened that his crotch became wet, his face turned as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.
He pointed at Qi Xiaowei with trembling hands, his lips quivering, but he couldn't utter a sound.
Zhou Xuemin, however, remained relatively calm. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Qi Xiaowei, who exactly are you?"
Qi Xiaowei ignored Zhou Xuemin, helped Xu Yun up from the ground, and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Then, he bowed to a drone and said, "Mr. Chen."
A steady and powerful voice came from the drone: "Deputy Regiment Commander Qi, you have been wronged. Today, our 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps' will definitely seek justice for you!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense.
"Who exactly are you people?" Hou Liang, having calmed down, mustered his courage and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where this place is? This is the Haidu City Government Office Building during the disaster. Attacking this building is tantamount to the actions of a terrorist organization and a serious provocation against our Great Xia!"
Chen Yu's voice rang out again: "Gentlemen, my 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps' has always been a reasonable group. First, I want to clarify that it was not I who attacked you first, but rather you who kidnapped my corps' Deputy Commander Qi and his soldiers without cause, and even attempted to murder them using inhumane methods! Our actions were merely legitimate self-defense, aimed at protecting the lives of our members. Secondly, the Haidu Center Building is our property; when did it become your temporary office building?"
"Who doesn't know that this building was bought by Niu Ke, the richest man on Earth, two years ago? Sir, isn't your statement a bit far-fetched?" Hou Liang sneered, clearly doubting Chen Yu's words.
"Hehe, Deputy Regiment Commander Qi, you talk to them." Chen Yu smiled faintly.
Qi Xiaowei nodded, then stepped forward, his sharp eyes scanning everyone in the restaurant.
“My ‘Cold Relief Militia Corps’ is affiliated with Tianyu Base, and Mr. Niu Kesi is the Deputy Minister of the Science and Technology Department of Tianyu Base, an important member of our base, and has donated all his properties to Tianyu Base free of charge, including this Haidu Center Building. Therefore, we have full rights and capabilities to carry out our activities here, including but not limited to rescue, training, and monitoring any behavior that may threaten social security and public interests.”
Qi Xiaowei's voice was steady and powerful.
Hou Liang frowned and said, "Words are not enough. Besides, even if this building really belongs to you, these are special times. Our government has the right to requisition any necessary resources to deal with disasters and emergencies."
"Alright, I don't have time to waste on your banter," Chen Yu said impatiently. "My Tianyu Base has always adhered to the principle of 'we will not attack unless attacked.' Today, you've treated the members of my base's 'military regiment' like this. Tell me, what are you going to do about it?"
"What 'militia group'? I think you're just a bunch of robbers! You..."
"Bang!"
Another corpse lay on the ground.
"I'm here to negotiate with you, not to listen to your nonsense." Chen Yu's voice came through the drone, carrying an undeniable authority. "If you continue to respond to our legitimate demands with unfounded accusations and provocations, then I don't mind adding a few more bloodstains to this place."
"Also, don't even think about playing any tricks. My 'Militia Legion' has already deployed tens of thousands of troops outside Haidu City. As long as I give the order, we can easily storm Haidu."
As Chen Yu finished speaking, a drone equipped with a projector shot out a beam of light, projecting real-time footage of the "anti-cold disaster relief militia corps" stationed in Rishan City onto the huge projection screen in the hall.
In the video, the "militia fighters" are fully armed, ready for battle, and in high spirits.
He shouted, "Those who offend Tianyu, though far away, shall be punished!"
Beside them were rows of large armored vehicles and various heavy weapons, clearly ready to engage in battle at any moment. Several GH-7 Flying Tiger fighter jets and dozens of Z-10ME attack helicopters were also visible in the footage.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone present gasped in shock.
Goodness, this equipment is comparable to several heavy combined arms brigades!
Such equipment would easily crush the armies of most countries on Earth, even in the face of natural disasters, let alone in this apocalyptic world.
Zhou Quanmin was also trembling with fear. Although he had picked up some equipment left behind in the Haidu Garrison, it was nothing compared to the army in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his fear and said in a deep voice, "You can't scare me. Haidu's defense system is no joke. If you could break in, you would have already done so!"
"Hehe, you are welcome to give it a try," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "However, I'm afraid none of you here will live to see that day."
As Chen Yu finished speaking, dozens of drones moved forward a short distance simultaneously.
The firepower systems mounted on their fuselages gleamed coldly, as if ready to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.
However, these drones did not launch an attack immediately, but instead exerted sufficient psychological pressure on the other side with a silent threat.
The atmosphere in the restaurant plummeted to freezing point, and every second seemed to drag on forever.
