Chapter 222: Preparing for a Volley

~7 min read 1,308 words

After Will closed the window, he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

How could it be him? How could this Yingzhou come here to ask about the Alien Race? Could it be that the Alien Race has appeared here too?

With a feeling of trepidation, Will opened his office door. Looking at the burly man who was over a meter taller than him, his face turned somewhat pale, but he still forced a smile.

"Captain Ying, hello. I have long heard of your deeds; seeing you today, you truly have an extraordinary presence!"

"To make a long story short, I just want to know who is the person in charge of transporting supplies to the frontline soldiers?"

Yingzhou ignored Will's flattering words and directly threw out the question he wanted to ask.

"The person in charge of transporting supplies? Let me see, it's Ningchi. He is responsible for the loading and unloading of these supplies at the Airport. However, if you want to find him, you might not be able to see him this time; he went to the Production Zone. Because there have been problems with the supply of materials for various Legions on the frontline recently, the production lines in the Production Zone are currently running at overload, and he went to see if there are any surviving supplies that can be shipped out."

Will wiped the sweat seeping from his forehead with his sleeve and said to Yingzhou with a forced laugh.

Yingzhou's mouth twitched. This Ningchi had exposed himself; he hadn't even gone to find him yet, so why was he so impatient to go to the Production Zone to find his accomplices?

"Thank you for your cooperation. My questions are finished. I am sorry for disturbing your rest. Goodbye."

After saying this, Yingzhou turned and left.

"Wait, could it be that the Alien Race has appeared here too?"

Seeing Yingzhou turn to leave, Will hurriedly asked.

"It's not certain for now. Wait for news."

Yingzhou waved his hand and left the Transport Aircraft Airport without stopping his pace.

The system notification sound rang in Yingzhou's ears at this moment.

【Task: Eliminate the Zerg parasites hiding in the Production Zone.】

【Task Reward: Random Draw count +1.】

"Ha, this task came at just the right time."

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Production Zone.

In a warehouse that had been sealed, about 1,000 workers were gathered. At this moment, they were like puppets, motionless, as if waiting for something.

Soon, a man with red pupils climbed onto the cargo in the warehouse and shouted to the workers below.

"Now, those Humans have discovered our tracks. The order Mother gave us is to eliminate those who come to investigate and destroy the Human Production Zone!"

The workers below did not answer; they all raised their heads in unison, their eyes staring straight at the man.

"Very good. Then return to your respective posts and wait for the person investigating to come to the Production Zone. When the time comes, I will release some bait to lure him."

Thinking of the current miserable state, the man with red eyes muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect that Tan Xiaotong would actually find that Yingzhou! Do they know each other? If I had known, I should have sent more people to eliminate her back then; that way, Mother's plan wouldn't have failed."

Cheng Jiunan looked at Yingzhou, who had come to find him again, and said respectfully, "Captain Ying, are you here to find me today because there is another new Task?"

Yingzhou nodded and said, "A person named Ningchi came here today. Do you know about it?"

After hearing this, Cheng Jiunan nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, and not only that, he also called away some of the workers here. Workers from several surrounding factories were also called away. I don't know what he wants to do."

After hearing this, Yingzhou felt a sense of foreboding and immediately asked Cheng Jiunan.

"Do you know where he took those workers?"

Seeing Yingzhou's solemn expression, Cheng Jiunan thought for a few seconds and replied, "It seems they went in the direction of the warehouses, but which specific warehouse is unknown."

Yingzhou nodded and instructed Cheng Jiunan, "Immediately notify the factory managers of the factories where the workers were called away. Tell them to pay attention to those workers leaving, and record all their names and appearances. If any workers return to their posts, do not act rashly; have them come find me."

Seeing Yingzhou's solemn expression, Cheng Jiunan nodded and had a worker go to notify the managers of the other factories.

"You lead the way. Take me to the approximate location where they are."

Seeing that Cheng Jiunan had already arranged this matter, Yingzhou said to him again.

"Alright, Captain Ying."

Cheng Jiunan immediately led the way for Yingzhou. Both of them walked very quickly. At this moment, Cheng Jiunan asked Yingzhou with a trembling voice.

"Captain Ying, those workers... they wouldn't all be... the Alien Race, would they?"

Cheng Jiunan paused halfway through his sentence before saying those two words. After all, Lao Wu's transformation yesterday was still fresh in Cheng Jiunan's memory.

"They likely are. Once we arrive at the place in a moment, you should leave quickly. There might be a firefight."

Yingzhou nodded, looked at Cheng Jiunan walking in front of him, and said.

"O-okay."

Soon, Cheng Jiunan brought Yingzhou to the Warehouse Area.

"They should be in this area, but I don't know which specific warehouse. By the way, those warehouses over there contain weapons and equipment prepared for transport to the frontline."

As he spoke, Cheng Jiunan pointed to the warehouses in the distance that were a different color from the ones here.

"I understand. You can go now. Remember not to let any workers near this area. By the way, are there any other workers in this area?"

"I really can't be sure about that, Captain Ying. After all, I am just a Factory Manager."

Cheng Jiunan said to Yingzhou, looking somewhat troubled.

After Cheng Jiunan left, Yingzhou summoned 150 Modian Iron Guards. The leading Modian Sergeant saluted Yingzhou excitedly and said, "Great Emperor, is there anything we can do for you?"

"There are Aliens here disguised as Humans. Eliminate them. If there are ordinary Humans, remember to save them as well."

Although the Death Korps of Krieg could also carry out this task, Yingzhou considered that there might very well be other ordinary workers in the warehouses here, so he dismissed that thought. Handing it over to the Modian Iron Guard, who possessed iron-like discipline, was also a good choice.

After Yingzhou summoned these 150 Modian Iron Guards, they began to separate to search the warehouses in this area. In some warehouses, there were indeed Warehouse Managers still working there. Yingzhou gathered them together and summoned 20 Catachan Jungle Fighters to protect them, while also guarding against them being corrupted by the Zerg. If there were signs of being controlled by the Alien, the Catachan tough guys would also eliminate them.

Yingzhou paid special attention to the warehouses storing weapons and equipment; after all, those Humans corrupted by the Zerg might also use weapons to attack his side.

Just as Yingzhou was watching a Modian Iron Guard squad prepare to enter a warehouse in an orderly fashion, another Modian Iron Guard squad encountered an accident while trying to enter a warehouse storing weapons and equipment.

The moment the warehouse door was opened, a burst of gunfire came from inside. Although the Modian Iron Guards' uniforms were bulletproof, the firepower from the opposite side was truly too dense. Some stray bullets still hit the heads of these Modian soldiers, piercing through them.

"Prepare for a volley!"

After finding cover, the Modian Sergeant commanded the surrounding soldiers to prepare for a counterattack.
