Currently, the person in charge of guarding the granary was Zheng Minghe, and when he saw the densely packed crowd, he broke out in cold sweat, and his heart was filled with pressure.
There were over a hundred thousand people who had been incited to gather in this area. Even the slightest sign of trouble would cause a riot of over a hundred thousand people attacking the granary.
If hundreds of thousands of people attacked the granary, there would definitely be a bloodbath, and the entire granary might even be burned down.
"I'm Zheng Minghe, the Great Elder of the Green Stone Triad." Zheng Minghe looked at the crowd and gritted his teeth as he stood out: "We didn't kill Commander Du Shan Xiong! All of you, leave this place! Otherwise, we won't be polite!! "
"Bastard!! He's threatening us!! "
"Don't be afraid!! We have tens of thousands of people here!! He won't dare to touch us!! "
"Smash those bastards to death!!"
"Everyone charge!! Snatch the rations!! It belongs to whoever can snatch it first! They won't dare to open fire!! "
"We have so many people here, a single spit from each of us is enough to drown them!! Everyone charge!! "
"… …."
Amongst the crowd, the Heavenly Dragon Triad and Green Bamboo Triad's hoodlums started to incite.
"Everyone charge!! The rations are ours!! Let's snatch them back!! "
"Charge!!"
Under the incitement of the Heavenly Dragon Triad and Green Bamboo Triad, many of the survivors began to rush towards the granary.
Zheng Minghe looked at the incoming crowd and his mind went blank, not knowing what to do.
Right at this time, Hu Yi's resolute voice sounded out: "Open fire!!! Open fire at full force!! "
The machine gunners on top of the granary also looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do. If it were zombies or Mutant Beasts, they would definitely not be merciful, and would immediately execute the order to kill them. However, the ones below were humans, and they were their own brethren.
Hu Yi's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he stared at the soldiers surrounding the granary, his voice cold: "I'm the Deputy Company Commander appointed by Leader Yue Zhong! Didn't you guys hear my orders? I'm ordering everyone to open fire, kill the thugs!! Those who disobey will be executed!! "
One soldier could not help but speak up: "But Company Commander Hu!! They are living humans, and they are our compatriots. It's not a zombie, it's not our enemy! They used to be defenseless civilians! "
Hu Yi glanced at the soldier, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he continued, "I know! But they weren't firing now! We will all die without a burial place!! Open fire immediately! Otherwise, I'll have to enforce military law!! "
Hu Yi turned to look at Zheng Ming He and said in a low voice: "Battalion Commander Zheng!! Do you have any objections? "
In Yue Zhong's system, he had already adopted the military title. Titles like Hall Master and Branch Master, which were filled with the aura of gangs, were not conducive to proper reorganization.
"Open fire!" Zheng Minghe glanced at Hu Yi, closed his eyes, and gave this extremely cruel order.
If they didn't open fire, the angry survivors would rush into the granary and destroy everything inside!
In the blink of an eye, the 12 heavy machine guns on top of the granary opened fire, and a barrage of bullets tore through the survivors who were charging towards them, turning them into a bloody mess.
"Murder!!"
"Run!!"
"They fired!!"
"… …"
Following the screams and screams of fear, the frenzied crowd looked at the corpses of the survivors, and their hearts filled with fear, as they began to flee.
There were over a hundred thousand survivors, and the moment they heard the gunshots, they began to flee in all directions.
Even before the apocalypse, there were precedents of using tanks to suppress the citizens, not to mention in the post-apocalyptic world where order had collapsed. When the survivors heard the gunshots, they completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
In the midst of their escape, many of the survivors trampled over each other, resulting in countless deaths. Along the way, there were survivors who had been trampled to death.
Unknowingly, Yue Zhong had appeared on top of the granary, and he looked at the corpses in front of the granary, his face extremely dark.
"Leader!" Zheng Ming He looked at Yue Zhong, who had appeared out of thin air, and his heart jolted, as he stepped forward to greet him. He looked at Yue Zhong's dark expression, then at Hu Yi, before gritting his teeth and saying: "Leader! This is my order! I'm willing to bear all the responsibility! "
Hu Yi was Yue Zhong's diehard follower, and this matter was no longer a secret within Yue Zhong's faction. Hu Yi himself was an Evolver with a Tier 2 Skill. During the battle at the town, he had also contributed greatly to the battle. He would definitely be of great use in the future, hence Zheng Minghe did not dare push all the blame to Hu Yi.
Yue Zhong patted Zheng Minghe's shoulders and said solemnly: "What's wrong with you!! The ones at fault are the Heavenly Dragon Triad and Green Bamboo Triad! The ones at fault are those fools who were provoked!! As long as they're our enemies, we can fire at them, regardless of who they were before. However, there's a problem with the way you handled things, at the very least, you should have fired a warning shot, and if they continued to be stubborn, then you fired! I'll demote you by one rank, to Vice-Battalion Commander, your position will remain the same, and you'll be in charge of the 1st Battalion of Guilin City. "
Zheng Minghe was just an ordinary person before the apocalypse, and had never dealt with such a situation before. Hence, his handling of the situation was extremely rigid. If it had been someone with experience, they might have done a better job.
"Yes!" Zheng Minghe's eyes reddened, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He had thought that this time, he would be demoted to a foot soldier under Yue Zhong. After all, they had killed dozens of human survivors, at the same time, the rest of the survivors had trampled over each other, and the casualties had reached over 200.
Yue Zhong's faction was still too young, and they had fought their way up. There were a lot of combat talents, but there were still a few people with rich political experience.
Hu Yi stood up at this time and said to Yue Zhong: "Leader, don't blame Battalion Commander Zheng! That was my order! "
When there were outsiders, Hu Yi had already changed the way he addressed Yue Zhong to Leader, only when there were no outsiders, would he call Yue Zhong Big Brother.
Yue Zhong eyed Hu Yi and said solemnly: "Since it's like this! You'll be demoted by 2 ranks, and will be a Platoon Commander! Your rank will also be demoted to 2nd Lieutenant. "
Hu Yi's expression turned solemn as he replied: "Yes! Leader!! "
Hu Yi asked Yue Zhong: "Leader!! What do we do now? Guilin City is already in an uproar, shouldn't we join in as well? "
Bai Xiao Sheng's speed was extremely fast, and he had already returned to the granary, and reported the entire incident to Yue Zhong.
Hu Yi did not understand why with Yue Zhong's decisive character, he would bide his time, wasting 2 precious hours.
Yue Zhong eyed Zheng Minghe, and his killing intent surged: "En! Zheng Minghe! I'll leave this granary to you! You must guard it for me, other than me, anyone who dares to approach, kill without mercy! "
This granary was Yue Zhong's trump card, and he could not afford to lose it. If it were to fall into the hands of others, it would become a trump card against Yue Zhong.
Zheng Minghe swore solemnly: "Yes! Leader! As long as I, Zheng Minghe, am alive, this granary will not be taken away by others! "
"Very good!!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with gratification.
Just as Yue Zhong was about to give the order to move out, Hu Yi looked outside and said: "Leader! Someone's coming!! "
"Oh?" Yue Zhong turned around, only to see Chai Zi Cang, who he had released not long ago, walking towards the granary with a white flag.
Yue Zhong looked at Chai Zi Cang, and had an idea: "Let him in!"
A mere Chai Zi Cang was not enough to deal with the entire granary, and he posed no threat to it.
The moment Chai Zi Cang came in front of Yue Zhong, he immediately said: "I'm willing to serve Leader, please accept me!"
Yue Zhong eyed Chai Zi Cang, and replied straightforwardly: "Good! Whatever conditions you have, just state them! "
Getting Chai Zi Cang to surrender had a huge meaning. On one hand, he could set an example of surrender. On the other hand, Chai Zi Cang knew the relationship between the various commanders in Du Shan Xiong's army. With his help, Yue Zhong would be able to come up with a better plan.
Chai Zi Cang looked at Yue Zhong and said: "I'm weak alone. I hope Leader can release my brothers!! Let me and my brothers work together for you. "
With Du Shan Xiong's death, the army he had led had split into many smaller factions. In this day and age, only those with guns had the right to speak. Without Du Shan Xiong, Chai Zi Cang was nothing without a gun. Hence, after thinking for a while, he decided to rely on Yue Zhong. In Yue Zhong's hands, there were a few hundred soldiers who had surrendered.
Yue Zhong frowned: "Are you sure you can convince your brother?"
Chai Zi Cang replied solemnly: "If only Du Shan Xiong was here. I don't have the confidence to convince my brothers to work for you! But Du Shan Xiong was dead. I have a seventy percent chance of convincing them to work for you. "
Yue Zhong chuckled: "Good!! Chai Zi Cang, from now on, you are the Ninth Company Commander under my command! The soldiers in your company are all your old brothers. What do you think? "
Chai Zi Cang was overjoyed, as he got down on one knee: "I'm willing to die for Leader!!"
As soon as Chai Zi Cang was transferred over, he became a Company Commander, and he even had a martial power that could be used like an arm. How could he not be excited?
In this day and age, only those with bigger fists had the right to speak. Once Chai Zi Cang got his old subordinates back, he would be able to control them very quickly. He wanted to make his voice heard in Yue Zhong's faction. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.Com and vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
