Nearing noon, the area outside the first district became quite lively. Several gates of the first district were open, and soldiers were standing on both sides of the gates, as if welcoming someone.
Ordinary residents were driven back home and could only observe the situation outside through the windows.
Soon, Shang Nuan was asked to leave by Wang Youlong's men and was forced to welcome Commander Yang's arrival with Wang Youlong. However, she stood straight and did not look like she was being coerced at all.
As the rumbling sound of the convoy sounded, military vehicles drove into the first district one by one. Commander Yang came to the first district with his only remaining 300 personal guards.
Wang Youlong diligently opened the car door for Commander Yang, and Commander Yang got out of the armored vehicle with his new adjutant Feng Zhiyun.
Wang Youlong saluted and said, "All soldiers in the first area have assembled. Please give your instructions."
Commander Yang smiled and nodded. He glanced around the base before speaking. "District One was originally commanded by Commander Cao, but I'm sure everyone has heard about Commander Cao's situation. She went to Wukou Town and can't come back. I didn't want to come here, but I have no choice. I have to take over District One on behalf of Commander Cao. Everyone, don't panic or be afraid. District One will continue with the previous system, and I will manage District One even better."
After Commander Yang finished speaking, Wang Youlong and his confidants enthusiastically applauded him. "Commander, what you said is so wonderful! With you here, I feel reassured."
Commander Yang chuckled and nodded, then said, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job this time. If there's any position you'd like, I can satisfy you."
Wang Youlong looked at Shang Nuan, smiled and said, "Since Commander Cao is gone, I want Adjutant Shang to follow me in the future. After all, she has been handling the affairs of District One, and staying by my side can also help me."
Commander Yang smiled, looked at Shang Nuan, and nodded: "Okay, it happens that you are all young people, you should communicate more. Xiao Shang, from now on you will follow Major General Wang and work hard."
"Thank you, Commander." Wang Youlong happily saluted Commander Yang.
Just as the two were talking, the rumbling sound of a convoy was heard in the distance. The sound came closer and closer, as if it would arrive in a moment.
Commander Yang frowned and asked, "Is anyone else coming over? What's going on outside?"
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to check it out. Shi Tou, take someone to see what's going on up ahead." Wang Youlong ordered.
"Yes!" Shitou saluted and walked out with a few soldiers in a menacing manner, shouting at the soldiers over there as he walked, "Don't you know Commander Yang is here? Hurry up and stop those vehicles that are coming from unknown directions."
Several soldiers ignored Shi Tou. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw a huge convoy approaching from afar. Looking at the appearance of these vehicles, Shi Tou suddenly felt that they looked familiar. Moreover, when these vehicles saw him blocking the middle of the road, they showed no intention of stopping.
Shitou frowned and shouted, "Stop the car in front of Commander Yang. Don't disturb Commander Yang."
As he was speaking, a man emerged from the vehicle in front and gently waved his arms towards Shi Tou. Shi Tou felt a flash before his eyes, and then his clothes and hair were on fire. The moving vehicle did not stop, and he fell to the ground to put out the fire on his body. Several soldiers around him also helped him.
Seeing that the armored vehicles showed no sign of stopping, several soldiers pulled Shitou to the side of the road. By the time the fire was out, Shitou's hair had been burned, and his clothes were all in tatters. He spat and cursed loudly, "Fuck! They even dared to burn me! What are you still standing there for? Go protect Commander Yang!"
While Shi Tou was speaking, the window of an armored vehicle opened. Shi Tou reflexively dodged, then saw Wei Siyu and Chen Wan in the armored vehicle and froze in place.
Although he had never mentioned Chen Wan and the others, he had actually subconsciously thought that Chen Wan and the others were dead. Now Chen Wan and the others came back safely, which was something Shi Tou had not expected. He touched the black dust on his face in a daze, and rushed to Commander Yang with a few soldiers behind him.
At this moment, Cao Wei and her team's convoy had already driven towards Commander Yang and his team. Commander Yang's smiling face immediately turned cold, and he stared coldly at the armored vehicle that had stopped.
Cao Wei jumped out of the armored vehicle. Chai Guanfeng was standing beside her. Chen Wan and the others also followed Cao Wei out of the vehicle.
Cao Wei glanced at Shang Nuan across from her, smiled at her, then looked at Commander Yang and said coldly, "I've only been away for a day, why is District One so bustling? Hey, how did Commander Yang find time to visit District One? Ah Nuan, why didn't you ask anyone to serve tea to Commander Yang?"
Commander Yang stared coldly at Cao Wei and sneered, "I'm afraid it's become Commander Cao coming here as a guest now. Ask the soldiers in your first district who they recognize now?"
Cao Wei chuckled, as if she had heard a funny joke, looked at Commander Yang coldly, and said
He said, "Of course my soldiers obey me. I remember Commander Yang's soldiers were all abandoned by Commander Yang in Funan City. I just took a quick look, and your soldiers plus Wang Youlong's men total no more than a thousand. We still have at least five thousand soldiers left in District One. I have so many psychics around me, I don't think you have a chance of winning."
Commander Yang was sweating profusely at Cao Wei's words, but he still pretended to be calm and snorted coldly, "Your soldiers have already obeyed me. Wang Youlong, why don't you send someone to invite Commander Cao into the office building?"
"What are you teams waiting for?" Wang Youlong glared at the soldiers next to him.
The soldiers around him received orders to move closer to Cao Wei, but they were surrounded by people arranged by Shang Nuan. The soldiers were so densely packed that there were thousands of them at a glance.
Cao Wei smiled and said, "We're all trying to make a living in this apocalypse. For those of you willing to lay down your weapons now, I can show some mercy and let you stay in District One as backup. But if you don't put down your weapons by the count of three, don't blame me for calling for action."
Commander Yang saw that he and his men were surrounded, and cold sweat broke out. His voice was a little unsteady when he spoke, "Commander Cao, what are you doing? We are all in the military together. How can you attack your own people?"
Cao Wei was so angry she laughed. She glared back and replied, "Commander Yang is really good at turning the tables. It's you who's trying to take advantage of the chaos. The entire planet R2 is in chaos, but we in District 1 can't afford to let it happen. The soldiers followed you to save their lives. I can give them a chance to choose, but I can't leave your trusted associates, including you, behind."
"Remember, before I count to three, 3, 2..." As Cao Wei began to count down, the soldiers around Commander Yang began to lay down their weapons in batches. Some of them joined the army halfway through, originally joining the army just to have something to eat in the apocalypse. Others were people merged from other teams by Commander Yang, and they were not so loyal to him. Even the soldiers who had followed him all the way out from Funan City opened fire when they saw the tense situation in front of them. They knew best what kind of person Commander Yang was. Such a commander was not worth their lives to guard.
A large group of people dropped their guns and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. As a result, the few hesitant soldiers were afraid that they would be too conspicuous, so they quickly dropped their guns and squatted down. Suddenly, the only soldiers standing were Commander Yang, Adjutant Feng, Wang Youlong and Shitou, except for Cao Wei's men.
Keqing originally wanted to stay next to the stone for a while.
She was able to talk to Commander Yang. Not long after she approached, she ran into the scene of Cao Wei and her convoy returning. At first, she was not too worried. After all, Shi Tou said that Commander Yang had already taken control of the military power of the first district. But now it seems that Commander Yang is the one who is trapped.
Ke Qing crouched down and hid behind Shitou. Seeing that Shitou was still standing at this time, she frowned and shook her head. This man was too stupid. He didn't see that Commander Yang was already doomed, and he was still standing there. Ke Qing frowned and looked at Shitou. Thinking that this man was really good to her, something in her heart overcame her rationality, and she couldn't help but shout to the front: "Shitou, why are you still standing there?"
Shi Tou smelled the pungent smell on his body and looked at the looks of his former teammates on the opposite side. He was stunned for a moment and only reacted when he heard Ke Qing's shouting.
Shi Tou looked at the soldiers behind him who had all dropped their weapons and squatted down, and thought about what he had done in the past few days. All the shameful thoughts in his heart seemed to be laid out now, allowing everyone to see his miserable state in broad daylight.
He even wanted to end his life directly, but he looked at Keqing and saw Keqing waving at him anxiously. Shitou gritted his teeth, threw away the weapon in his hand, and squatted down. At this point, there were only two people standing beside Commander Yang except himself.
Wang Youlong gritted his teeth, pursed his lips and said, "No, Commander Cao, I was just instigating this. Since you left yesterday, I haven't killed a single person. Could you please give me another chance? Even if you don't, could you please let me leave District One?"
Cao Wei sneered, "Let you go? Go and cause trouble in other bases? None of you can leave today."
While they were still arguing, Jiang Yanxin had already taken out the album in her hand. Those people were all vicious and cruel, and might do something desperate. Jiang Yanxin simply materialized Athena in advance and let Athena go to Cao Wei.
Cao Wei was stunned for a moment when she saw a foreign woman suddenly appear beside her. Then she seemed to understand something and looked at Jiang Yanxin.
Jiang Yanxin nodded at Cao Wei.
Shitou looked at Athena and realized Commander Yang's complete defeat. He had witnessed the terrifying power of Jiang Yanxin's abilities firsthand. This was because Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin lacked ambition. Otherwise, with such abilities, controlling several bases would be a piece of cake.
