In fact, it was Gu Zun who sent people to surround Wei Lun's headquarters compound.
Gu Zun pondered the matter at his residence and decided to first take down Wei Lun before reporting to Cai Zhenshao. Once everything was settled, Cai Zhenshao had no choice but to accept it.
"They've surrounded them? How many people are there? Have you figured it out?"
Wei Lun asked, then took out his trans-dimensional communication headset and put it on, preparing to call for reinforcements.
However, the situation is dire. Wei Lun and his group are currently all in the Sixth Gathering Ground. If it truly belongs to the forces of that gathering ground…
Even if I managed to gather the entire base's guards, I would first have to break through the outer defenses of the settlement before I could even come in to provide support.
Holding the headquarters compound for such a long time would be extremely difficult. If they were to break out now, all of them would likely be wiped out.
"Boss, there are at least 30 people, and we only have ten. How are we supposed to fight?"
Zeng Guangtian reported that if there were 30 zombies, it would be easy to handle; ten people could easily wipe them out.
However, being human as well, they also understand tactics. As long as these thirty people are surrounded by headquarters, there is no way they can break through.
Moreover, judging from the situation outside, it seems that the number of people is still increasing, and we don't know what exactly is wrong with the gathering place.
Gu Zun was also outside Wei Lun's courtyard at this time, and he took out a loudspeaker.
“Listen up, you people inside! You have violated the rules of the assembly area. Now, please lay down your weapons and come out immediately.”
It seems the guards outside are trying to persuade Wei Lun to surrender.
Because the compound already has Zeng Guangtian, Lei Long, Zhu Guanjun, Qin Mutong, and six guards, even including Wei Lun, there are only 11 people in total.
Eleven people, if they just hide inside the courtyard for defense, can hold out for at least a few hours.
But once they went outside, they were all taken down within minutes. Wei Lun wasn't stupid.
First, all the trans-dimensional communication headsets were connected.
"I am Wei Lun. I repeat, I am Wei Lun. Now, everyone, be on alert."
Wei Lun issued his first order over the communication headset: All personnel on alert.
Fu Xixi, Qin Jiayou, Du Kun, and Lin Xinyue at the base were all shocked when they heard the news. What was going on?
The boss personally ordered everyone to be on alert? What on earth happened?
"Boss, what happened?"
"Boss, what happened?"
"Zeng Guangtian, has something happened to you?"
"Quickly assemble the entire guard, and leave a few people to guard the base!"
Communications from the base erupted with inquiries about the situation; they had no idea what had happened.
Wei Lun sighed.
"All guards at the base are now assembled. Lin Xinyue will stay behind with 10 men, and everyone else will head to the sixth settlement!"
Wei Lun finally issued the battle order.
This is the first time since the Guard's inception that such a major risk has arisen, requiring the entire Guard to be mobilized. This clearly indicates that headquarters is now in imminent danger.
The base sprang into action; all production ceased, and all patrols were recalled.
The unarmed were fully armed, and only 10 guards remained. After a final assembly, the entire guard force consisted of 220 people.
Such a number would be considered a powerful force in a post-apocalyptic world; no one would dare underestimate a base with a full 220 armed personnel.
One by one, the trucks were started up, and all the guards, carrying their equipment, began to board them.
As for the headquarters of the gathering place,
The crowd gathered outside the compound was still shouting for Wei Lun to lead his men out and surrender, citing the fabricated reason that he had violated the rules of the assembly area.
Haha, Gu Zun is truly shameless. To obtain a food source, he not only mobilized his private army but also the soldiers from the settlement.
There are now at least 50 people surrounding the area.
The entire encampment had a force of nearly 500 soldiers, a formidable defensive force, but Gu Zun clearly did not have the authority to mobilize them.
This was something Cai Zhenshao was unaware of and did not allow, but Gu Zun insisted on taking control of Wei Lun's food source.
Wei Lun walked to the door, ready to negotiate.
"Is that Gu Zun outside? We were having a meeting together just a few days ago, why are you trying to surround me now? Does Boss Cai know about this?"
Wei Lun had hit Gu Zun's weak spot, a fact that Cai Zhenshao was completely unaware of. Even at this point, Cai Zhenshao probably hadn't received the news yet.
Gu Zun specifically sent people to prevent the message from being passed up, with the aim of capturing Wei Lun as soon as possible.
"Weilun, you're at your wit's end now. If you surrender, I guarantee your safety."
Gu Zun shouted from outside, but in his heart he was thinking, "If you reveal the source of the food, you're doomed."
"Oh, that's an interesting thing. Can your current behavior be interpreted as a provocation and threat against the shareholders of the gathering place?"
Because Wei Lun is currently in a weak position, he can only try to delay the inevitable; the longer he can delay, the more advantageous it will be for him.
"Don't try to pin this on me. In this world, everything is about strength. Or, if you honestly hand over your food source, I might consider letting you go!"
Gu Zun gritted his teeth, looking extremely vicious, ready to strike at any moment. After all, he didn't have much time left. If Cai Zhenshao found out, he would definitely send someone to stop him. Even if Gu Zun was Cai Zhenshao's confidant, he would still be punished.
“Weilun, I know you want to wait for people from your base to come, but don’t forget, there are 500 guards at the settlement. As long as Boss Cai doesn’t know and doesn’t give the order, you have no way out!”
Gu Zun finally revealed his ambition. He was not afraid of Wei Lun's base at all. According to his statistics, Wei Lun's base had only a hundred or so people, which was not even in the same league as the five hundred people in the settlement.
Although Wei Lun possessed some strength, his base couldn't react in such a short time.
Therefore, Gu Zun was unaware that Wei Lun's guards were actually equipped with time-space communication headsets. At this point, all the information from headquarters had already been relayed back by Zeng Guangtian and others.
Trucks are already heading towards the assembly point; all the guards will arrive within an hour at most.
"Gu Zun, do you think I have a source of food? You're ridiculous, you have no idea what you're doing."
Wei Lun wasn't going to waste any more words with Gu Zun. He waved his hand, and all six guards positioned themselves at the gate and the top of the courtyard wall, ready to respond to any outside attacks.
"Zeng Guangtian, give them a laser cannon shot. We can test the effectiveness of this weapon."
Wei Lun gave the order, his eyes already darting to the laser cannon atop the emplacement in the center of the courtyard.
This laser cannon was transported here, installed, but has remained unused, looking more like a decoration.
This time, it finally came in handy!
