Chapter 223: Resistance

Originally, Ningchi intended to have these workers return to their respective factories and find opportunities to destroy the production equipment there. Just after he implanted the order into the workers' brains, he heard uniform footsteps outside; judging by the sound, they seemed to be wearing leather boots, and the number appeared to be around 100.

"What's going on? Did the Military District discover my anomaly so quickly? That's not right; I remember checking before I left that the Military District didn't seem to have any plans to come to the Production Zone to eradicate the Alien Race. Did they discover me? There don't seem to be many people outside. It looks like I'll have to deal with them first before forcibly destroying the facilities in the Production Zone."

Immediately following this, the nearly 1,000 workers in this warehouse storing weapons and equipment took out those weapons and equipment, donned Individual Combat Armor, and armed themselves to the teeth.

Ningchi divided these workers into three groups; one group defended the warehouse gate, while the other two prepared to charge out and annihilate the enemy once they had suffered heavy casualties.

Soon, the uniform footsteps drew closer and closer, and accompanied by the sound of a lock being opened, the warehouse door slowly opened.

"Fire!"

Ningchi shouted to the workers defending the warehouse gate. Originally, these workers could not skillfully use these firearms, but after their bodies were controlled by the Zerg's consciousness, the triggers of those firearms were skillfully pulled in their hands.

"Rat-tat-tat..."

After the warehouse door opened, these workers opened fire on the soldiers outside wearing bright uniforms. However, those soldiers had high combat proficiency; upon sensing something was wrong, they immediately sought cover. Only five or six soldiers fell, and when the bullets hit their uniforms, there was no blood seeping out as imagined, as if that kind of uniform were bulletproof.

Seeing this scene, Ningchi frowned, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"Strange, when did the Human Alliance appear with such a unit? I've never heard of it, and there is no relevant information in this Human's memory."

While recalling, Ningchi suddenly heard shouting from outside.

"Prepare for a volley!"

"Fire!"

Dozens of Laser Beams flew into the warehouse, accurately hitting the workers wearing Individual Combat Armor. A dazzling red light flashed on the chest area of the Individual Combat Armor, accompanied by wisps of smoke. Several Laser Beams hit the same target, directly piercing through the Individual Combat Armor and burning a hole through the flesh and blood inside.

These workers controlled by the Zerg did not wail in pain as imagined. After losing control of their bodies, these workers slowly fell, dying silently. Perhaps they had already died long ago, and their bodies were merely being controlled by these Zerg.

In an instant, more than a dozen of the resisting workers in the warehouse fell, and immediately after, a second volley followed, with the same accuracy, taking away another wave of resisting workers.

"Damn it, the soldiers searching the other warehouses have come over too! These soldiers' marksmanship is very accurate; they shouldn't have remained unknown all this time. Could it be a unit hidden by the Human Alliance?"

Ningchi looked at the disparity in strength between the enemy and himself and spoke angrily.

When Yingzhou saw those workers controlled by the Zerg putting up a desperate resistance in the warehouse storing weapons and equipment, he felt very conflicted.

This is troublesome now. If these Aliens are driven to desperation and directly detonate the weapons and equipment in the warehouse, it will trigger a chain reaction, and by then, it is very likely that this entire Production Zone will suffer heavy damage.

Yingzhou asked the excited Modian Lieutenant standing beside him with a solemn expression, "This warehouse stores a large amount of weapons and equipment. Is there any way to quickly eliminate the Heretics inside without letting the weapons and equipment inside be detonated?"

The lieutenant of the Modian Iron Guard, who had been summoned by Yingzhou using Faith Value, thought for a moment before speaking to Yingzhou with an excited expression.

"Great Emperor, thank you for your trust. I believe we can make a breakthrough from the top of this warehouse."

Yingzhou looked at the warehouse roof, nodded, and said, "Hmm, give it a try."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely obey your will and kill those Aliens!"

The Modian Lieutenant immediately stood straight and saluted Yingzhou again.

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Production Zone Headquarters.

Jack was organizing the recent situation of material supply sorting. Touching his receding hairline, Jack said with some distress.

"Sigh, if this goes on, my hair will be gone sooner or later. These damned Aliens actually want to play tricks with the material supplies, causing my workload to increase several times over!"

As he spoke, Jack put one document aside and picked up another to check.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A burst of urgent knocking sounded, and Jack answered with a weary voice.

"Come in."

His Secretary pushed open the office door and said to Jack with an anxious expression.

"Councilor Jack, an anomaly has occurred in the 17th Production Zone. While searching for Aliens, Yingzhou from the Military District was attacked by nearly 1,000 workers controlled by the Aliens. Now, both sides have engaged in a firefight in the Warehouse Area!"

Jack's originally weary eyes widened instantly, and his voice rose by a decibel.

"What? A firefight in the warehouse! There are weapons and equipment there! Once an explosion is triggered, the 17th Production Zone will suffer heavy losses!"

Seeing Jack's agitated appearance, the Secretary asked.

"Do we need to request support from the Military District personnel in the Outer City? After all, there is only Yingzhou there alone..."

After hearing the Secretary's words, Jack chuckled.

"Heh, no need to request support from the Outer City. It's better to say that Yingzhou alone can solve that bunch of Aliens. I'm just afraid that Yingzhou will make too much of a scene and detonate the weapons warehouse."

"Then... do we not need to do anything?"

The Secretary looked at Jack with some hesitation and asked.

"Hmm... I'd better go to the 17th Production Zone, and by the way, meet this legendary Yingzhou."

After pondering for a moment, Jack slapped the table, put the documents on the table aside, and said.

"Alright, I'll go down and arrange it now."

After the Secretary finished speaking, he turned and left the office. Just as he was about to open the office door, Jack called out to him again.

"Wait! Notify the person in charge of the 17th Production Zone to have the workers evacuate temporarily, and return to their posts to work after the crisis is over."

"Understood."

After the Secretary left, Jack began to pack his things, preparing to go out, muttering to himself while packing.

"The 17th Production Zone must not have any accidents. Damn it, every production zone is currently operating at full capacity, producing weapons and equipment with all its might to support the front lines with material supplies. If an accident happens in the 17th Production Zone, the logistics supply will be cut off!"
