At the safe zone headquarters, Dong Changming's head was covered with white hair, and his expression was much older, but his eyes were still bright. Opposite him, Duan Guoyi stood upright with his hat in hand.
"The man named Wang is dead!" Dong Changming looked at his most capable subordinate and said calmly.
Hearing the old chief's words, Duan Guoyi's eyes lit up, but he said: "Well done, this guy hid a large amount of food secretly, held banquets every night, formed gangs, and eliminated dissidents. He was simply a worm in the safe zone. We have never been able to spare our hands."
When we came to deal with him, we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to kill him at once, or that the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry. Now that he's dead, that's the best thing. Who did it? Could it be the Ax King?"
In Duan Guoyi's opinion, the only person who can kill Secretary-General Wang with thunderous means is a master like Ax King.
Dong Changming chuckled, shook his head and said: "No, Ax King and the others have been monitored by Wang. If there is any trouble, he will have already taken action. It was Wu Ming from the Third Awakening Team who did it. Do you know this person?"
"Is it him?" Duan Guoyi naturally knew, but nodded and said: "This Wu Ming is not only a member of the awakening team, but also a third-level researcher in the secret research institute. Behind many of Professor Xu's research results, there is this Wu Ming
Shadow is a talent. Moreover, he was one of the survivors when he failed to seize food in his previous life, but does he have this ability? The man named Wang has recruited many awakened people!"
"The news is absolutely true. You can verify it yourself later. I came to you to ask you, what do you plan to do with him?" Dong Changming looked at Duan Guoyi and said meaningfully.
"Disposal? Why should we dispose of him? He is doing meritorious service..." Duan Guoyi said immediately, but soon he realized something and said again: "Old chief, you mean you are afraid of the people from Secretary-General Wang's faction?"
rebel?"
"That's right, although the man surnamed Wang has numerous crimes and misdeeds, on the surface, he is still a high-ranking official. If he dies like this, his former subordinates may not let it go. If they take the opportunity to cause trouble at this time, we can
We will use force to suppress them, but the safe zone will be riddled with holes. They are now leaderless and may not cause any trouble, but we cannot take this risk. Once something goes wrong, it will affect the safety of everyone in the safe zone, so
You have to be cautious.”
"Having said that, Wu Ming is not an ordinary person. I know that Secretary-General Wang's villa has more than twenty guards inside, and there are also many awakened people for personal protection. He can kill people under this kind of defense. Even if it is...
Ax King may not be able to do it. I feel that if Wu Ming is dealt with because he wants to balance those potential people, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the losses, and the consequences may even be more serious. Moreover, Professor Xu has already regarded Wu Ming as his student, what if we do that
If you do it, Professor Xu will be the first to quit!"
Listening to Duan Guoyi's analysis, Dong Changming nodded with great satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, you are indeed mature for being so thoughtful. Then just do what you want. If those people can't keep their own rules in the busy market, just
It may be a warning to others, but this time we must be ruthless, and we must not be lenient. In addition, there has been no news from several other safe zones for several days. They may have fallen, or they may have broken through. At the moment, we cannot wait any longer. We must
Break out of the city immediately, only in this way can we have a chance of survival, and I have already formulated our plan to break out of the city, so let me be the bait..."
"What?" Duan Guoyi, who had always been calm and composed, immediately became anxious when he heard the old leader's words, and walked up the first few steps: "No, absolutely not!"
"Why not? I'm old. To take so many people out, someone must contain the bugs around. This is the bait plan, which we made before. The soldiers selected as bait are also my soldiers.
They are also people with parents, wives and children. As the supreme commander of the safety zone, I, Dong Changming, must shoulder this responsibility. I have been a soldier all my life, and I have only a few years left to live. How can I bear to let these soldiers die alone?
I have made up my mind on this matter, Guoyi, if you continue to stop me, don't say that I, Dong Changming, brought the soldiers in the future. Since you are still my subordinate, just carry out the order!" At the end of the sentence, Dong Changming said:
He stood up, his expression more determined than ever before,
Duan Guoyi moved his lips a few times, wanting to say something, but still couldn't. In the end, with tears in his eyes, he could only raise his arms with the greatest strength and salute a military salute.
…
The headquarters did not even mention the killing of Secretary-General Wang, as if it had never happened. In addition, the headquarters even publicly executed several officials and military officers who had "used trouble to cause trouble." This was also
Wu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired the commander of the headquarters. Obviously, the other party made a very wise decision.
If the other party chooses to deal with him, then Wu Ming will definitely not be afraid. At worst, he will lead his own people to break out alone.
On the forty-fifth day after the disaster, the safety zone has reached the critical point. Two days ago, all food distribution points had stopped distributing food to citizens, even the thin soup that could count rice grains.
Refugees now eat everything. There is no grass growing in the green belt. Some people can't bear it anymore and secretly leave the safety zone to find something to eat. But it's not that easy. As long as there is something edible within one kilometer of the safety zone
, has long been emptied, every building, every room, and even every cabinet and drawer in the room has been turned upside down, not even a grain of rice is left.
If you want to find food, you can only enter within one kilometer of the occupied area, but the number of monsters there will increase dramatically. Many people ventured into it, only to be killed and devoured by various monsters in the occupied area.
The military headquarters had issued an order to evacuate and break out of the encirclement two days ago, but it was such a huge and difficult task for 800,000 people to move together. The only way to break out of the encirclement was in batches, but even so, there were many things that were not prepared.
With his status as a third-level researcher at the institute, Wu Ming was among the first to get the news, and he also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, regardless of whether the refugees were ready or not, the military would start to break out by tomorrow at the latest.
The current food supply for the Awakened Team is also pitiful. Everyone knows that if they don't break out, everyone will starve to death here.
Perhaps the only good news is that because Dr. Xu and his research institute successfully created the 'Vital Energy Collector', the number of awakened people has doubled in the past few days. In just a few days, the military has formed two awakened
The company has a total number of more than 300 people. This may be the military's most powerful breakout force.
The next morning, as the sun just rose, a dozen tanks drove out from the safety zone, followed by hundreds of cars. The tanks and cars were surrounded by a large number of soldiers guarding them.
The total number of people reached tens of thousands, and it was obvious that the Fourth Security Zone of Yucheng had finally decided to break out.
These tens of thousands of people are just the vanguard, responsible for exploring and clearing roads. But only the real senior officials know that the first troops to go out are actually just 'baits'. Their mission is to kill all nearby monsters and insects.
Everyone was attracted to it to buy time for the large army behind to break through.
Looking at the convoy going away, Duan Guoyi, who was about to lead the large troops to evacuate, saluted a military salute again, but this time, he could no longer control his emotions and tears burst into his eyes. You must know that Duan Guoyi has never shed tears since he was sensible.
More than ten years of military career have tempered his will like steel, but this time, no matter how strong a soldier is, he cannot remain indifferent.
Because Duan Guoyi knew very well that the people responsible for the 'bait' mission might face hundreds of thousands of insectoids, with almost no chance of survival, and the commander leading the team was his old leader Dong Changming.
"Captain Duan, what are you..." Duan Guoyi's guard didn't know why, but he was shocked when he saw the commander crying. Naturally, the former could not explain anything. He could only endure the huge grief in his heart and order everyone.
