Du Kun and Zhu Guanjun suddenly appeared with a large army, and beams of laser light shot into the defensive perimeter surrounding Cai Zhenshao's command center.
By the time the soldiers of the Sixth Settlement, Cai Zhenshao's men, discovered the guards had arrived, it was too late.
Because the two teams that Du Kun and Zhu Guanjun brought were very special, having been specially selected by Wei Lun, each member of each team was carrying a laser weapon.
When Cai Zhenshao's battle-hardened elite guards saw Wei Lun's guard...
They, who could have resisted at the moment, were suddenly locked onto by laser guns, and could only watch helplessly as one by one, their bodies riddled with bullet holes, fell to the ground.
Du Kun and Zhu Guanjun were extremely fast.
They issued a swift operational order, instructing everyone to resolve the battle here as quickly as possible.
Elsewhere, Qin Jiayou and his men were holding off a large enemy force, while the headquarters compound where Wei Lun was located was currently heavily fortified.
Du Kun and Zhu Guanjun's decapitation operation had to be expedited; any delay could result in some of their own men falling to enemy fire.
The guards were brave and fearless, and quickly took control of the main roads, killing the soldiers guarding the key positions.
At this moment, Cai Zhenshao was trembling in the command center. He had sent out the main force to carry out the mission, and he never expected that Wei Lun would dare to send troops to attack his command center.
"Du Kun, hurry up and go in and catch Cai Zhenshao. Old Qin and Old Zeng are under a lot of pressure."
Zhu Guanjun, gun in hand, spoke warily, then led his soldiers into the house.
Du Kun thought to himself, "Zhu Guanjun is acting so recklessly. What if there's an ambush inside the house? Wouldn't that be falling into a trap?"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Du Kun frowned in worry, then rushed forward.
Fortunately, only a few guards inside the house put up a fight. Although their resistance was fierce, they were no match for the overwhelming firepower of the laser weapons.
Cai Zhenshao's command center looked like it had been riddled with holes.
As for Cai Zhenshao, he became a lonely commander. At this time, Du Kun began to worry about whether to kill him or not.
The boss's order was clear: kill him. While Du Kun hesitated, Zhu Guanjun pulled out a lightsaber and severed Cai Zhenshao's head.
Du Kun was speechless. He hadn't even asked his boss whether Cai Zhenshao should mediate the war, and now Zhu Guanjun had just cut off his head.
"Champion, why were you so impulsive? This guy was actually quite useful."
Du Kun looked angry, but there was nothing he could do, since his boss's previous order was to kill him.
Soon, Du Kun brought Zhu Guanjun to the control center of the city lord's mansion.
"Attention residents of the Sixth Gathering: Cai Zhenshao and Gu Zun conspired to harm the interests of the legitimate shareholders of the gathering. Their crimes committed in private are numerous, and they have now been executed. All soldiers of the gathering shall cease resistance and await the final decision of the gathering's high-level meeting."
Du Kun began repeatedly broadcasting this sentence over and over throughout the gathering area's loudspeakers.
As for some of the large central screens, Cai Zhenshao's head and Gu Zun's head were also projected onto the very center screen.
The entire settlement was in an uproar. Such a huge change inevitably caused unrest among the people. Some who originally had vested interests with Cai Zhenshao and Gu Zun also began to stir and become restless.
After Du Kun gave the notification, the combat pressure on Qin Jiayou, Zeng Guangtian, and Lei Long decreased sharply.
These soldiers in the settlement weren't fools. Now that their leader had been killed, who were they fighting for? Whose orders were they obeying?
All the soldiers returned to guard the checkpoints and barracks, while some officers sent out observation groups to watch the high-level meeting at the assembly point and ultimately decide on the fate of these soldiers.
In the headquarters compound of Wehrmacht, after hearing the notification from the gathering place,
Qin Mutong and Fu Xixi jumped up excitedly, which meant that Du Kun and Zhu Guanjun's two teams had successfully completed Wei Lun's task.
"Alright, next we need to stabilize the environment of the settlement. There are still many soldiers and armed forces here, so the settlement is not safe right now."
As he spoke, Wei Lun began to assign the tasks below.
The first step was to hold a general meeting, attended by the original shareholders and some key personnel.
Then came the handover of guard duties. At each checkpoint and important passageway, the guards were relieved of their weapons and awaited further instructions from the organizers.
These two things seem simple, but they are very difficult to do.
For example, in the first case, when trying to gather important people, some individuals simply refused to engage with Wei Lun.
Secondly, getting the guards to lay down their weapons requires coercive force, and Weren is still severely short-handed.
About half an hour later,
The conference at the Sixth Gathering Place officially commenced. Many of these individuals had been forcibly brought there by soldiers sent by Weren, while others had been involved in unpleasant battles.
However, in the apocalypse, everything is determined by strength. As long as you have the strength, everyone will obey you.
As for the main transportation routes and checkpoints, they have now been taken over by the guards, and the original guards are now waiting for orders in the barracks empty-handed.
The conference began.
Jixi Lake, the third largest shareholder in the settlement and the largest weapons manufacturer in the settlement, then spoke up.
"Weilun, you've only just joined the settlement and you're already dreaming of controlling the entire settlement? Isn't that a bit too ambitious of you?"
Ji Xihu was furious when he spoke. Although he was not one of Cai Zhenshao's men, he had a good relationship with Cai Zhenshao. Suddenly, he received news that Cai Zhenshao and Gu Zun had been killed at the same time, which was something he found hard to accept.
The fourth shareholder, Jiang Ke, is the shareholder of the sixth settlement, which owns the largest hunting force.
Although Jiang Ke rarely gets involved in politics, especially the management of the settlement, he is quite worried about the decreasing food supply from hunting recently. Just then, Gu Zun launched a provocation against Wei Lun. In fact, Jiang Ke also bears some responsibility. In the current situation, even the leader Cai Zhenshao has been killed, so it is better for him to keep a low profile.
“Ji Xihu, this whole thing was started by Gu Zun, and Boss Cai brought this upon himself. I don’t care who manages the settlement, the important thing is that we can survive and thrive. I’ll support whoever becomes the leader.”
Jiang Ke made his stance clear, and his words resonated with many people.
Although everyone aspires to be the leader, with such a large population in the settlement, everyone needs to eat, and none of their subordinates can afford to starve.
Furthermore, becoming the leader of a community requires navigating various diplomatic situations with the outside world. If these relationships are not handled properly, even if no one within the community takes care of things, someone outside might.
Su Hui and Fan Miaomiao, however, showed no concern. They were simply wealthy merchants who produced grain and had no interest in conflict with anyone. For them, a safe environment was of utmost importance, so they were strongly opposed to the war. Fortunately, the conflict had now ended.
"Boss Wei, what are you planning to do next? Tell us, and we'll all hear your thoughts."
