With the new reinforcements, the pressure on Lieutenant Colonel Lei's side was greatly reduced, but the cannibals showed no intention of retreating.
There was even a hint that he wanted to fight Lieutenant Colonel Lei to the bitter end.
"Damn it! Are these guys all planning to die here?" Lieutenant Colonel Lei said angrily.
Tears welled in Yanzi's eyes; she was starting to panic.
"Uncle Lei, please let me go! I'm the one who did this, so I should take responsibility!"
"You come back here! Our reinforcements have arrived, what are you still doing? Getting in the way? Stay put! I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Swallow wiped away her tears, feeling utterly ashamed.
...
Half an hour later, the veterans in the camp surrounded the cannibal tribe and forced them into a corner.
Looking at the few remaining members of his tribe around him, the skinny man immediately felt that they were doomed. However, these people were not afraid of death and had taken a lot of medicine before they came.
"Heh! I didn't expect it to turn out like this! Fine! Since they don't want to hand over the person, then let's fight them to the death!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes.
So he waved to the crowd.
"Bring me the megaphone! I want to negotiate with them!"
The people around him quickly handed him the loudspeaker.
After trying twice, the man suddenly leaped onto a high platform.
"Old Lei, listen to me! I, Zheng Sen, am back! If you've got the guts, come out and meet me! I still remember that shot from last time! Today we're going to talk this over properly, or else I'll press the detonator in my hand, and tens of thousands of people on Qiao Zhuang's side will die there! I'll give you five minutes to think it over!"
As he spoke, the other party directly removed the safety ring from the detonator switch in his hand.
In an instant, the entire scene went out.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This person claimed to be Zheng Sen, but no one recognized him, not even the cannibals.
Lieutenant Colonel Lei, who had just been dragged down to the hollow cave by Yanzi, stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning, his mouth opening and closing but no words coming out.
Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Lei was stunned, Yanzi couldn't help but feel curious. So she blinked and asked, "Uncle Lei, do you... know this person?"
At this moment, Lao Guo ran back from the distant battlefield, saw Lieutenant Colonel Lei with a blank expression, and his lips twitched a few times.
"Captain, it's Zheng Sen! He's not dead!"
Lieutenant Colonel Lei remained silent for a long while before speaking: "Yes, he actually survived! He actually survived!"
"What should we do? He just said he was gambling with the lives of tens of thousands of people on Qiao Zhuang's side!"
"I heard that! That damn bastard! Why wasn't he dead last time? Damn it! Is the sniper ready? Can we take him out and get the detonator?"
Old Guo shook his head with a wry smile: "No, the detonator in his hand is a release-type switch. As soon as he dies, the detonator will immediately detonate the mine!"
The other soldiers were also furious.
"Lieutenant Colonel, he said there are thunderbolts and then there are thunderbolts! He's just trying to trick you into going out! Lieutenant Colonel Lei, you absolutely mustn't fall for his tricks!"
"Qiao Zhuang's men all deserve to die, it would be better if he blew them up!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! We are the people's soldiers, how could we joke with the lives of the masses! Even if they are guilty, they should be handed over to the judicial authorities for trial and conviction!"
"..."
The crowd was noisy, everyone had their own opinions, while Lieutenant Colonel Lei was still reminiscing about the past.
Before the apocalypse, Zheng Sen was a fugitive suspect in the Huaxia region. Because of his extremely ruthless methods and strong counter-surveillance awareness, he was extremely dangerous, so the authorities had to join forces with special forces to carry out repeated encirclements and suppressions against him.
After several months of siege, the encirclement of Zheng Sen was finally narrowed to a very small area. In order to survive, Zheng Sen took more than a dozen people hostage and negotiated with the police.
The person in charge of the case at the time was Lieutenant Colonel Lei and his special forces squad.
During the negotiations, Zheng Sen was particularly cunning, never revealing his location. Even when negotiating terms, he communicated via walkie-talkie, with each call lasting no more than twenty seconds, making it impossible for the police to pinpoint his location.
In order to lure Zheng Sen out, the police had to resort to a hostage exchange.
To reduce the number of hostages killed or wounded, Lieutenant Colonel Lei, disregarding the objections of all his team members, resolutely volunteered to become a hostage and exchange him with the other side.
When he fell into Zheng Sen's hands, Lieutenant Colonel Lei suffered terribly and almost died at his hands, but fortunately he was tough.
Finally, seizing an opportunity, Lieutenant Colonel Lei pried open his chains and released all the hostages, leading to a fierce firefight between the two sides.
In the end, Lieutenant Colonel Lei shot the man through the chest and then escaped from Zheng Sen's control with all the hostages. Due to the chaos at the scene, Zheng Sen's body was eventually taken away. However, Lieutenant Colonel Lei was confident that he had killed the man. Then came the apocalypse.
The pursuit of Zheng Sen had to come to an end, as the nationwide turmoil led to changes in the organization of the military.
Lei Lieutenant Colonel Lei had no idea that Zheng Sen was dead. He never expected that Zheng Sen would reappear in the martial arts world and become the leader of that group of bloodthirsty thugs.
