Gao Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring angrily at Chen Yunhao. He couldn't see Ye Zhi, so he stared at Chen Yunhao instead.
His thick index finger pointed rudely at Chen Yunhao's military cap, almost knocking it to the ground. "You!"
Chen Yunhao straightened his military cap with both hands, about to retort, when Ye Zhi's voice rang out again, "You, you, you, what do you mean, Grandpa thinks eight million is too little? Then it'll be ten million!"
Gao Xin: !
He spat out another mouthful of blood. Chen Yunhao, seeing the situation was bad, had already dodged away. Gao Xin's blood sprayed directly onto his men.
Seeing Gao Xin like this, Chen Yunhao was satisfied, and so was Chen Yuanzheng.
Chen Yuanzheng made the final decision for Gao Xin: "Alright, we'll exchange ten million crystal cores for your supplies, and Gao Xin will pay for all the crystal cores."
Gao Xin: !
He coughed up another mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground.
Gao Xin's chest made a whooshing sound like a bellows, his chest heaving rapidly as if he couldn't breathe, before he collapsed to the ground.
When Ye Zhi and the others heard the sounds of someone vomiting blood, collapsing to the ground, and breathing rapidly over the walkie-talkie, they all smiled with satisfaction. It felt so good.
They got the crystal core and even made the scoundrel who coveted their resources faint with rage. So satisfying.
The reason why it is said that four-fifths of the eight million zombie cores were obtained by soldiers is due to a very tragic true story.
When Chen Yunhao was first sent out to lead the survivors in City A, the heavy task of collecting supplies was immediately placed on the shoulders of the soldiers. Not only him, but most of the soldiers under General Gao were also sent to collect supplies.
They were sent together to a grain reserve base in the south to collect supplies, but that mission led to the complete annihilation of General Gao's soldiers in the zombie horde.
Only Chen Yuanzheng's soldiers returned, but they had lost half of their men. Each of them drove a vehicle, which was loaded with food.
According to those who returned, they had safely reached the grain reserve base and collected all the supplies, but on their way back, they encountered a zombie horde—a horde of millions of zombies.
To protect their younger generation, General Gao's soldiers sacrificed their own lives, fighting fiercely against the ever-surging hordes of zombies and urging them to escape.
General Gao's soldiers are all veterans who have experienced the War of Resistance against Japan. They fought their way out for China and for themselves, and now they are handing over the hard-won path to younger soldiers.
Almost all the soldiers who returned from that supplies gathering trip were left with severe psychological trauma, and Chen Yunhao was no exception.
In the dead of night, he would always dream of the soldiers under General Gao who had fought their way through a bloody path for them.
It was horrific, utterly horrific. A dense swarm of zombies, their screams breaking through their cries:
"Run! Run without looking back! Take our supplies and run!"
"It doesn't matter if we die, we still have you. Protect the base, protect the motherland, protect the people!"
Chen Yunhao returned to Base Z with the hopes of the veterans and the supplies they had fought so hard to obtain. Then he learned the devastating news that General Gao had died from exhaustion. Next, he learned that Gao Xin and Chen Yuanzheng had become the deputy leaders of Base Z and were jointly managing the base. Finally, he learned that Base Z had been renamed Victory Base.
When Chen Yunhao returned, he was so angry he laughed. Gao Xin had become the deputy leader of the Victory Base? Him? That useless piece of trash who couldn't lift a finger? That piece of garbage who didn't inherit any of General Gao's good qualities? He became the deputy leader? What a joke!
Chen Yunhao rushed to Chen Yuanzheng's office immediately, wanting to get to the bottom of things, only to find his father standing by the window, looking worried, with a stubble beard, a hunched back, and most of his hair turned white.
When Chen Yuanzheng saw Chen Yunhao, who looked travel-worn, his first words were, "Hao'er, isn't your father useless? Half of our base's supplies were secretly misappropriated by that parasite Gao Xin!"
"My father even made him the deputy leader. I'm so sorry to General Gao!"
Chen Yunhao remained silent for a long time. All the questions he had before, such as "Why didn't General Gao call us when he died?" "Why did you make Gao Xin the deputy leader?" "How could that good-for-nothing Gao Xin be worthy of the position!", eventually turned into him stepping forward, patting Chen Yuanzheng on the shoulder, and saying, "Dad, let's divide the family property."
They're father and son, they really think alike.
On his way to the office, Chen Yunhao learned the whole story from Chen Yuanzheng's confidant. At that time, Gao Xin led 50,000 fake soldiers, each of whom was holding a gun and pointing it neatly at Chen Yuanzheng. Chen Yuanzheng only had two guards with him. Even though Chen Yuanzheng was a level two fire-type ability user, it would have been difficult for him to escape from the hail of bullets.
Given the isolation and immense pressure, it was already quite commendable that Chen Yuanzheng was able to appoint both Gao Xin as deputy leaders.
It's really amazing. Chen Yunhao felt that he was a beast for having those thoughts before. If it were him, he wouldn't have done as well as his father.
The "separation" they mentioned did not mean dividing up Gao Xin's stronghold and Chen Yuanzheng's stronghold within the Victory Base, but rather driving Gao Xin and his men out of the Victory Base.
Chen Yuanzheng straightened his back immediately; he had the same intention.
The father and son spent a long time in the office planning and came up with a detailed plan.
"Hao'er, tell your Uncle Song that the extreme cold weather is coming soon."
…
When Gao Xin woke up in his warm bed, the first thing he did was rush to Chen Yuanzheng's office with his fake soldiers to question him.
"Chen Yuanzheng, what do you mean? You expect me to pay for ten million crystal cores all by myself?"
Chen Yuanzheng was prepared. As soon as Gao Xin opened the door, all the soldiers in the office pointed their guns at him. Not only was the office full of soldiers, but the soldiers hidden around the office building also revealed themselves the moment Gao Xin appeared, all pointing their guns at the arrogant Gao Xin.
It wasn't that we didn't seek revenge back then, it was just that the time hadn't come yet. Now is the time for revenge.
Gao Xin's momentum instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.
"Thump thump thump..." The sound of combat boots hitting the ground came from behind Gao Xin. It was Chen Yunhao, dressed in military uniform.
Chen Yunhao, a level three superhuman, unleashed his full power, his lightning-type superpower flashing with purple light, making him appear like a thunder god descending to earth.
The fake soldiers behind Gao Xin unconsciously went weak in the knees and all gave way to Chen Yunhao.
"If you're not the only one paying, then who is?" As he spoke, Chen Yunhao pointed the purple lightning bolt in his hand directly at Gao Xin.
