Chapter 440

Gong Chengming didn't retreat at all because Jiang Sanhe had temporarily mastered the control of the fire-breathing zombie. He exerted force on his arm, firmly controlling Liao Youzhi, and said loudly: "Everyone listen well. What do you think is the purpose of today's operation? Is it to crusade against Tianmayu, which is luring zombies to Qincheng? You're wrong!"

"The original cause of the whole thing is not what Liao Youzhi said. All that talk about luring zombies to Qincheng time and time again—that was all a play he directed and acted in himself!"

As his voice fell, there was an uproar after a brief silence.

"This... this thing was done by Leader Liao himself?"

"Holy crap, that's too ridiculous. Is he deliberately framing Tianmayu?"

"You can figure it out with your knees. He must have wanted to take the opportunity to develop to the north and find an excuse!"

"You're talking nonsense..."

"I don't wrong people!" Seeing Liao Youzhi about to speak, Gong Chengming hurriedly grabbed the chance: "The last time, that is, the horde of zombies discovered on the North Second Ring Road yesterday, indeed had nothing to do with Liao Youzhi. I suspect it was done by friends in the north, but that was only once. The previous three times were all Liao Youzhi's handiwork. I stake my head on it!"

Liu Yao stood far away, poking his head out from the roof of an SUV, and shouted: "So you're saying that the horde of zombies that attacked my Xinglong Kindergarten half a month ago was also done by Liao Youzhi?"

The Little Eagle Society's base was a fairly large community kindergarten within a high-end residential area. The community's own defensive strength was good, and coupled with the kindergarten's towering walls, it became a very good shelter after a little modification!

But half a month ago, such a hidden safe camp was inexplicably attacked by a horde of zombies. The horde that appeared out of thin air made the Little Eagle Society miserable. Fortunately, they had sufficient preparations. They lost a lot of material resources and one life, but finally solved the crisis.

"Nonsense!"

Liao Youzhi argued with his neck stiff, his face flushed red, and he said angrily: "Gong Chengming is talking nonsense. If you believe his words, you've fallen into his trap. This hypocrite with a human face and a beast's heart—what kind of bullshit wouldn't he say to smear me?"

"That's right, Deputy Leader Gong, can you produce substantive evidence? We can't just listen to you!"

Yang Xinci also spoke at this time, but his courage was clearly much smaller than Liu Yao's. He hid behind the engine of a car and shouted at the top of his lungs. He knew very well that car doors blocking bullets were just movie special effects; the only thing that could really block bullets was the engine! Originally, the power struggle within the Survivor Alliance had nothing to do with outsiders, but if the reason for triggering this operation was all fake, then everything was too absurd. Everyone needed an explanation! "Evidence, of course, exists, but the person who told me all this is not here. It is one of our Leader Liao's four wives!"

In the apocalypse, it was not surprising for a capable man to have several wives, but for his own woman to become a spy planted by someone else beside him was fatal. Liao Youzhi's heart skipped two beats after hearing Gong Chengming's words.

Li Zongkai looked at Gong Chengming with a strange expression, secretly thinking that there were really many coincidences in this world. Someone actually used the same routine as him. While he was pondering who Gong Chengming's spy was, he saw someone waving at him...

"Hmm?"

This discovery made Li Zongkai feel strange. When he looked closely, he almost fell off the truck bed!

No one cared about Li Zongkai's loss of composure, because everyone's attention was on the bombshell Gong Chengming had dropped.

Most people within the Survivor Alliance were whispering and discussing, let alone the Little Eagle Society and the Apocalypse Group.

Liu Yao said in a rough voice: "Liao Youzhi, it seems today's matter is complicated. You must give us all an explanation, or it won't end!"

Yang Xinci's expression was extremely grave, because he had already learned more from Zhang Xin. If it weren't for Gong Chengming's revelation, he wouldn't have easily believed it, but looking at it in combination, Liao Youzhi's wolfish ambition was clearly revealed! "Officer Liu!"

Yang Xinci shouted suddenly: "The situation is even more serious than we thought. Liao is not only plotting against the north, but also wants to wipe us all out!"

"What?!"

Liu Yao's heart tightened after hearing Yang Xinci's words, and he kept gesturing for the brothers in the society to raise their weapons and prepare for battle, but their equipment looked a bit shabby; there weren't even a few rifles, basically all small pistols.

The Little Eagle Society and the Apocalypse Group didn't get along, but precisely because of this, Liu Yao actually trusted Yang Xinci more. It was unlikely he would joke about such things. There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and positions changed at any time.

Liao Youzhi saw the reaction of the Little Eagle Society out of the corner of his eye, his skin trembling with anger. Just as he was about to argue, he suddenly laughed. "Haha, hahaha..."

Liao Youzhi's laughter made the atmosphere at the scene very strange.

On Tianmayu's side, Zhao Dezhu had people disarm and detain the guys who sent the hostages, and a group of people were discussing intensely, mainly revolving around whether to take the opportunity to launch an attack, coordinate with Zhang Su, and directly take down the Survivor Alliance.

Finally, they concluded that the situation was unclear, so they shouldn't act rashly for the time being...

"Do you know why Gong Chengming is holding me hostage but doesn't dare to kill me?"

After Liao Youzhi laughed inexplicably, he took a deep breath and asked everyone.

"Because this dog thing is insane and has created a weapon that can destroy us all!" Gong Chengming didn't give Liao Youzhi a chance to create suspense and directly announced the answer.

"Hahaha!"

Liao Youzhi laughed wildly again, struggled hard, and with the strength of his waist combined with a "divine dragon tail swing," he forcibly broke free from Gong Chengming's hostage-taking, his eyes filled with a madness that didn't fear death.

Awoo, awoo, awoo.

At this moment, a group of zombies walked onto the street from the gap between the shop buildings. The number wasn't large, only about a hundred, and they rushed toward the nearest Little Eagle Society members.

"Motherf***er!"

Zhang Su jumped into the passenger seat, and the car shot out. In the distance, Pan Guoliang had already started the tank, but its direction was different from the others; it was driving across the barren fields, also heading toward Beidong Town. Roads that ordinary cars couldn't take, a tank could.

If the goal was just to intimidate, the Type 99 heavy tank should be displayed openly. But if the intent was to kill, then it must be hidden.

In the Escalade, Li Zongkai couldn't help but twitch his eyelids upon hearing Zhang Su's mockery.

Liao Youzhi curled his lips into a sneer and continued: "That's right, it was Li Zongkai's plan. This is to protect you. The leader of the Little Eagle Society, Liu Yao, has a fiery temper. Knowing his men were killed by you, he's already gone berserk. If you don't want a conflict to break out, I suggest you accept our plan!"

Clang.

With a jolt, the vehicle drove onto the highway. Once steady, Zhang Su pressed the talk button: "You'd better advise him not to go berserk; it's easy to drop dead in such cold weather. But the plan isn't bad, so I'll reluctantly accept it. You'd better hurry; I don't have the patience to wait in this freezing cold!"

After saying this, the car stopped behind the roadblocks north of Beidong Town, just a step away. You're fast, but I'm faster.

Zheng Xinyu wore a grave expression and said: "Isn't it enough to have Tachibana Mai escort the hostages to carry out the plan? Why do you have to risk your life... Or let Old Tan go up to the roof now and ambush them? Wouldn't it be simpler to just blow Liao Youzhi away from afar with a shot? If that doesn't work, we still have the tank. Give them two shells!"

Ever since Zhang Su revealed the overall plan, Zheng Xinyu had been worried. Disguising himself as a hostage to go deep into enemy territory—no one could stay calm about that.

Zhang Su shrugged nonchalantly and said: "You're wrong. The one truly bearing the danger is Zhuzi. I'm actually safer hiding in the shadows. Tachibana Mai is powerful, but she isn't enough on her own. We must wipe out the opponent with the force of a thunderbolt to end this battle in the shortest possible time!"

"Once someone starts shooting, the situation will spiral out of control. That's not the result I want to see. Unless Old Li and his men can safely make it to our side, it would be convenient to take out the rest in one go..."

"And you know me. How could I let others do all these things? I must participate myself. Now is the time to consolidate my reputation. Old Yu has been building momentum for me lately; you must have felt it. There are some things I am duty-bound to do!"

Zhang Su tapped his fingers lightly on the car door armrest. His heart was calm; he wasn't nervous about what was about to happen. All this confidence stemmed from his understanding of his own strength.

A peaceful talk between the two sides was just a facade; murderous intent was bound to be hidden behind it. Regardless of what Liao Youzhi was thinking, this meeting had to completely eradicate the hidden danger.
