The two men's expressions changed, and they immediately rushed out.
As soon as they got outside, they saw that the gate that had been guarded had been smashed to pieces, and the guards were injured, clutching their chests and panting heavily.
"Not afraid of death, yet you dare to come?" Duan Yu stepped forward early, followed by his subordinates and Jiang Yan.
Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a group of tall, fully armed humans opposite her, not troublesome zombies.
"Die? Even if you don't die today, you'll be skinned alive. My brothers have been targeted and harmed by you all. You have to give me an explanation for this. Otherwise, this isn't over!"
The man who responded to Duan Yu was the leader of another base, named Du Chong. Lying next to him, covered in blood, was the victim he was demanding justice for.
"Statement? What a joke. I, Duan Yu, have never had anyone dare to come back and settle scores with me if I wanted to hurt them. You are the first, but perhaps the last."
After saying that, he interlocked his fingers and slowly opened them, and a surging column of water shot out instantly, hitting the protective shield in front of Du Chong.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! You think I'd fall for that mistake twice? You underestimate me."
After Du Chong blocked Duan Yu's water column, a burst of sparks shot towards him, leaving no room for evasion.
They actually started fighting.
Jiang Yan glanced at Gu An for help, then quickly flipped his wrist to form a lightning bolt, slightly altering the direction of the sparks.
Gu An only activated the protective shield after Jiang Yan shot out, protecting the group.
Duan Yu looked back at the two who had rushed out, somewhat surprised by their skill level.
However, the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to think about it too much.
Duan Yu unleashed a water column with one hand and shot out a flame similar to Du Chong's with the other. The two combined to create an even greater force.
"It seems there's a reason he can be the captain. With such a strong superpower, water and fire, which are normally incompatible, seem to be an exception in his hands."
Jiang Ruan observed the battle outside from within the protective perimeter.
She had just examined that victim and believed she could cure him with her current level of healing ability.
"Bang..."
The opposing leader, Du Chong, was immediately injured by Duan Yu's attack and fell to the ground with a "crack" sound, which seemed to be the sound of his arm breaking.
"ah!"
Du Chong let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in agony.
Duan Yu withdrew his hand, looked at him coldly, and his disdainful sneer made Du Chong tremble with anger.
But he was less skilled than others, and there was nothing he could do.
But he dared not be looked down upon by him.
“Duan Yu, I know you have strong superpowers, but even the strongest superpowers have weaknesses. They are not invincible. For example, if you are bombarded, I think you’ll have to put your superpowers aside.”
A desolate smile appeared on Du Chong's face.
He didn't want to do it either; if there were any other way, he would never have thought of this method of mutual destruction.
But he was really angry. Duan Yu had hurt his girlfriend and allowed his men to bully the people. What's more, he was autocratic and never considered other people's opinions.
Such people, in the apocalypse, would absolutely become lackeys of the zombies, and the great cause of the nation and the peaceful life of the people would be out of the question.
Although he was stupid and incompetent, he had some strength, including the ability to stockpile supplies.
No one knows how many howitzers were stored in his warehouse, and now is the perfect time.
"You're going to bombard me? Attack my base? Aren't you afraid of being put on trial? Or are you confident you can escape unscathed?"
Duan Yu didn't believe he dared, but Du Chong ignored him and directly brought out a cannon from behind, while a small howitzer was held by hand and aimed at them.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
Duan Yu clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and his own team's artillery shells were brought out.
The two sides were locked in a standoff, with artillery fire imminent.
"Are you crazy? Why can't we talk things out? Why do you have to go against him and provoke him? What exactly happened?"
Jiang Yan did not want to see this situation; the carnage caused by artillery fire would not only harm them.
"No, I can't stand this. You're not the captain anymore, you have no right to speak."
Duan Yu pushed him aside and ignored him.
She still seems angry with him.
"Well, I can't explain it to you, but I won't agree to you doing this."
Jiang Yan stood in the very center of the standoff between the two sides and addressed Du Chong respectfully.
"Captain Du, you must still remember me. I am Jiang Yan, the former captain of the National Survey Team. I hope you can give me the honor of sitting down and having a calm talk. I promise I can treat your brother's injuries."
Du Chong glanced at him, but he had been too angry to look closely, and in addition, he had used his supernatural lightning ability to slow down the attack speed of both sides.
He didn't harm the people here, so he doesn't have much hostility towards him.
"Are you really Captain Jiang?" Du Chong remembered Jiang Yan, who was once famous, upright, and possessed powerful supernatural abilities.
Later, due to some issues, he left the team. He originally wanted to seek help from here, but since Jiang Yan wasn't there, he thought Duan Yu could also help. However, he changed his mind as soon as he heard Jiang Yan's name.
His originally kind tone turned into anger in an instant, and that's when he was injured.
“Yes, it’s me.” Jiang Yan didn’t miss the fleeting joy on Du Chong’s face.
She burst into tears.
The 1.8-meter-tall man was crying his eyes out, instantly turning the tense situation into a comical one.
Jiang Ruan had been observing from the sidelines, and she never expected that Jiang Yan would cause such a situation simply by revealing his identity.
She glanced at Gu An almost imperceptibly, but to her surprise, he was looking at her and shrugged, spreading his hands slightly.
Seeing his actions and the expression on his face, Jiang Ruan found it hard to reconcile the image of that aloof and handsome man with reality.
It seems that he became more down-to-earth after they got together.
Under Duan Yu's sinister gaze, Jiang Yan pulled Du Chong to his feet and half-squatted down to check his injuries.
“We have a very skilled healer who will definitely help you heal; her skill level is among the best.”
Jiang Yan glanced back at Jiang Ruan, and the pleading in her eyes reassured her, so she nodded.
Du Chong noticed the seemingly delicate and frail woman; he never imagined she possessed healing abilities.
“My injury is nothing serious. Look at him. He’s my brother, a brother who has been through thick and thin with me.”
Du Chong struggled to move his body and pulled Jiang Yan to the back.
Duan Yu snorted coldly, his eyes practically bloodshot when he saw Du Chong holding Jiang Yan's hand.
His hands trembled slightly.
Jiang Yan was shocked when he saw it. He knew he was seriously injured, but he didn't expect it to be this serious!
There were seven or eight crisscrossing knife wounds on his chest, and his thighs were wrapped in gauze. Judging from the amount of blood, the wounds were definitely not small.
No wonder, no wonder they came knocking on our door.
The zombies hadn't even killed a few before they started fighting amongst themselves. With such severe injuries, how could they not fight?
