Chapter 156

Ye Chen rushed to the middle of the road, aiming at the tank to shoot it. "I will kill you!"

'Hom!'

Suddenly, the tank accelerated before Ye Chen's bullet had left the muzzle. He had no time to escape, so he could only watch the tank run him over with bloodshot eyes.

At that very moment-

'Bang!'

Unexpectedly, a loud noise reverberated in everyone's ears and the tank came to a stop! Something was wrong, it couldn't move like before; the tank's crew was at a loss.

"What happened?"

"I can't see anything! Nope! Why are we facing the other tanks?"

"What on Earth happened?"

Suddenly, more banging sounds could be heard before the crew could climb out of the tank.

'Screech!'

The row of tanks was suspended collectively and the soldiers were at a loss. No one knew what was going on; the situation was reported to the limo.

"What's wrong?" Kuang Cheng took up the speaker.

"Reporting! The situation is unknown!"

Kuang Cheng's face turned hideous listening to that report, he then turned back ordering a young man in uniform, "Tan Hao. I order you to go and see what's happening!"

"Yes, Major General!"

On the road, the shocked Ye Chen stared at the monstrous tank before him and then at the row of tanks behind it. There was neither a collision nor firing, but the tanks could not move!

A horrifyingly modified Wrangler was at the center and a strange long thick pole was extending out of it!

'Gulp!'

Ye Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva; the pole extending out of the Wrangler seemed so high-tech like it came out of a sci-fi movie.

Yu Chen's look full of confusion, coupled with the t.i.tled gla.s.ses on his face, made him look like a clown. The team's survivors stared with their wide-opened eyes at the Wrangler and stopped tanks. What happened?

'Beep! Beep! Beep!'

Suddenly, the roaring sounds of engines coming from approaching normal vehicles startled the crowd. Those vehicles were following behind the Wrangler, their drivers were not afraid of approaching the tank.

At that moment, a military Jeep was fast approaching to the suspended tank and the soldiers in the tanks started rus.h.i.+ng out crazily.

The people in the tanks came out crazily. It should be mentioned that the people driving tanks were official soldiers but normal survivors picked after the global darkness. The military had lost 70% of its soldiers so they needed to replenish the ranks even with ordinary people.

Everyone was really shocked to the point they couldn't speak but stare at the abnormal Wrangler in the middle of the road.

It was not a crossroad vehicle, other than its square appearance even its windows were modified. It was a black car with its winds.h.i.+eld replaced by a certain s.h.i.+ny metal; naturally, one could not see the interior from outside. It looked like an iron plate, but they did not know how the driver could see outside!

'Bang! Bang!'

The noise of shutting doors filled the air.

A soldier and an officer got off the Jeep; the officer was Tan Hao with a grim expression on his face, while the soldier standing beside him was silently taking note of the situation.

Many people got off the dozens of cars behind the Wrangler. As soon as Ye Chen saw the others his bloodshot eyes almost popped out from excitement since Cheng Xianguo and Yue Zi was amongst the crowd.

"Ye Chen?!" Cheng Xianguo found Ye Chen, in a mess after the battle, standing beside the Wrangler.

Ye Chen had a wry smile but he bore his tough demeanor.

"Cheng Xianguo? Yue Zi?"

"Brother Cheng! Brother Yue Zi!"

Lots of people were excited seeing him and rushed to his side. After separating the days they had spent were really tough. They were truly excited after meeting their previous boss; it was like finding their parents.

'Bang!'

Suddenly, a gunshot came out of nowhere! A young man running toward Cheng Xianguo fell on the ground, no longer moving and blood surging from his head…

Dead? Dead!

Feelings such as excitement and happiness were suddenly gone. Cheng Xianguo, Yue Zi, and Ye Chen were stunned and looked at the people from far with eyes full of killing intent.

Why did they kill people like simply slaughtering chickens?!

The shooter was the soldier beside Tan Hao. He was flattering Tan Hao after killing the young man, "Colonel, one less blocking your path."

Being under Kuang Cheng's wing, the method of shooting and killing to punish someone as a warning to others, was something they did for fun.

"Nice job." Tan Hao praised with a fake smile. Then he asked a soldier rus.h.i.+ng out from a tank, "What happened? Can someone explain?"

There was no guilt in their eyes as they did not think it was wrong.

Tan Hao was quite lucky since he was the first one to arrive at s.h.i.+ City's base. He happened to face a riot in the military base and saved Kuang Cheng after becoming a soldier, killing several zombies. He served as a soldier for a few days and was promoted several ranks, reaching the Colonel rank.

After the apocalypse's escalation, the military was in dire need of personnel as s.h.i.+ City was so far from Shangjing. People with real abilities had no time managing the military's complicated structure.

Tan Hao's reaction infuriated Cheng Xianguo and the others. Were the desperate survivors really trying to reach such a corrupted base?

It was a group of bast*rds!

"Reporting to Colonel!" A tank's driver made an informal salute, "The tanks are not operable!"

Although, it was inconceivable and logic-defying, the row of tanks had been broken badly. They couldn't move, even though they seemed fine. The source of damage was unknown, not to mention their insufficient tank knowledge.

"Broken?!" The colonel was extremely angry. Following Kuang Cheng for one month, he had copied his bad temper and really wanted to curse at them.

'Bang!'

A gunshot interrupted Tan Hao and several drops of blood splashed on his face; his arrogant expression changed to fear within one second. The soldier who shot down Ye Chen's team member fell on the ground with a b.l.o.o.d.y hole between his brows.

"Ah! Ahahah!" The young Colonel shouted like a scaredy-cat; he really wasn't an iron-willed soldier.

Everyone was in an uproar! What made their scalps tingling was not that someone had accurately landed between his brows but they didn't know from where the shot had come from. They were so nervous that their sweat had changed the color of their clothes. They were not the real soldiers! They were still learning how to handle a gun and bullets!
