From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 616
Chapter 616 Light Card Trick
“Hurry up and walk! Hurry up and walk forward …”
The Southern City Gate was already in complete chaos. There were at least a hundred thousand people blocking this place. They were desperately pushing and shouting, and there were also a large number of people joining in. The chaotic and vast scene was not much worse than the onslaught of corpses. The huge Southern City Gate was like an overwhelming bottleneck, threatening to explode at any moment.
Buzz ~
A loud mechanical twisting sound suddenly sounded, The crowd suddenly cried out in alarm. On the defensive fortifications outside the city gate, the three steel gates were actually closed at the same time. The enormous force shredded the cars blocked in them, completely ignoring the people’s life and death as they closed the gates one after another, forcefully cutting off everyone’s escape route.
“Open the door! Quickly let us out …”
The crowd shouted like a furry wildcat, Many people even began to climb up the fortifications along the iron gate. However, as several huge searchlights shone on them, a series of gunshots rang out. Several men who had just climbed up the gate immediately fell heavily. The restless crowd also instantly quieted down. They all looked at the large army that had suddenly appeared on the city wall in horror.
“Everyone, listen up. The Corpse Tide hasn’t come, and Black Mountain City hasn’t broken. Someone with ulterior motives is spreading rumors here in an attempt to create chaos …”
The sound from the loudspeaker resounded throughout the city. Soon, Zhou Shengwu, who was holding a microphone, appeared on the city wall. He then shouted, “Right now, there is only a high-grade living corpse causing trouble in the city. It has already been suppressed by us, so please immediately go back and close the doors and windows. Don’t be used by evil motives again. Please believe your disciples, Black Mountain City is unbreakable!”
“Since you have nothing else to do, you can let us out. It’s our freedom to go wherever we want. Why don’t you let us leave …”
Many people did not buy Zhou Shengwu’s debt at all, Regardless of whether the corpse tide had really arrived or not, at least the Screaming Empress who was causing trouble was serious. However, Zhou Shengwu avoided the situation and only said that she was a high-grade living corpse. Many people started to shout. They didn’t know if Black Mountain City would break through them, but Kaoshan County, who was in the rear, would definitely be fine.
“I’m not restricting your freedom, but as you can see, there has been a serious stampede. If we don’t control it, something big will happen …”
Zhou Shengwu stood on the city wall with a fierce voice. The horn was about to be shouted out by him, but the real pressure came from the troops on the city wall. All the heavy machine guns had been aimed at the crowd. Everyone knew that they really dared to shoot when they said they were shooting. The’chickens’ that had just been killed were for them to see. Whoever had the barrel of the gun in this world was the boss.
“Please believe me. As long as it’s dawn, we’ll open the city gate. At that time, no matter where you want to go, but please follow the orders of the counselor and return home or enter the shelter in turn. Don’t let the homes you’ve built up with great difficulty be destroyed again …”
Zhou Shengwu scanned the crowd in pain. However, the sound of bullets being loaded immediately followed. No matter how pleasant his words sounded, they were not as effective as threats. The chaotic crowd immediately became completely silent. Following that, they obediently moved back under the rough orders of the big-headed soldiers. However, an indescribable haze quietly spread out in the hearts of everyone.
“Bastard! You clearly know that he is Chen Guangda, why didn’t you say so earlier? Look at the consequences now …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly smashed the microphone angrily. He glared at Su Tong, who was behind him, but Su Tong said anxiously, “I really didn’t know that he would do such a big thing. Brother Guang is definitely not a bad person, and doing this will not benefit him at all. Did we misunderstand him? Perhaps he just felt that Black Mountain City can’t hold on anymore and wanted to use his method to evacuate the people!”
“Susan! Why are you so naive? Chen Guangda is not a good man or woman at all. He is a speculator and a fugitive who can get away with anything he wants. His method is to do whatever he wants …”
Zhou Shengwu glared at Su Tong and shouted loudly, but just as Su Tong was about to defend herself, a middle-aged officer suddenly ran up and said, “Secretary!” The pursuing troops we sent out were ambushed. At least two battalions were ambushed halfway, and the soldiers who had been tricked earlier had all been disarmed. The armored weapons of one battalion had all fallen into the enemy’s hands! ”
“Bastard! What the hell is he trying to do? Is he trying to kill all of us?”
Zhou Shengwu roared angrily, Even the veins on her forehead were about to explode. Su Tong’s face suddenly turned pale and she almost fell to the ground. However, Zhou Shengwu suddenly slapped the battlements and pointed at the officer and shouted, “Shell Kaoshan County immediately. Before the evacuated civilians arrive, I want to shatter Kaoshan County into pieces!”
“Secretary! You must think twice. Kaoshan County is our major grain-producing county. If Kaoshan County doesn’t have so many people in Black Mountain City, how can we eat?”
The middle-aged officer looked at Zhou Shengwu sadly, and Zhou Shengwu, whose face was ashen, glared at Su Tong and shouted, “Are you satisfied now? This is what you think a good big brother and a good leader are. What else can he do besides take advantage of the fire and tribulation? I already told you that he is a scum who doesn’t care about anything!”
“My brother! Stop talking. I will personally lead troops to attack Kaoshan County from the ground. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation …”
Su Tong suddenly raised her head to look at Zhou Shengwu. His scarlet eyes were filled with determination, but the middle-aged officer beside him hurriedly said, “Chen Guangda is just a clown. Even if he can run away, the monk can’t run away from the temple. Right now, the most important thing is to quickly deal with the Screaming Empress. Otherwise, when the Corpse Tide arrives, we will really be helpless!”
“Secretary! According to the report from the frontline observation post, there is a large wave of corpses heading towards us. They are expected to arrive in Black Mountain City by noon tomorrow, and the scale of the corpse wave is still expanding …”
A messenger suddenly rushed over with a roar, Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, an incomparably crazy corpse roar suddenly came from afar. It was obvious that Bai Luoshi had escaped from the trap. However, Chen Guangda’s people had also retreated. They could no longer hear the sound of the horn containing Bai Luoshi. Countless screams of fear erupted from the city.
“Open the south gate and I’ll personally lead Bai Luoshi out …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly shouted and rushed downtown. The messenger was stunned for a moment and almost thought that he had heard wrong, but Su Tong anxiously pulled him back and said, “Don’t be impulsive. That’s the Screaming Empress. If anything goes wrong, you won’t be able to come back again!”
“I don’t want to be impulsive, but tell me what else to do now. You just need to watch Li Sitong closely, and you can’t have another shit stirrer …”
Zhou Shengwu shook her off without hesitation and turned around to run up the corridor. Unexpectedly, a large group of people suddenly came up from below. The leader was the Li family’s father and daughter, and Li Si came up with a mournful voice and said, “Save me! We both saw wrong this time and let a bastard steal a chicken!”
“Hmph! An ignorant bastard! I want to see how long he can be arrogant …”
Zhou Shengwu snorted angrily, but Li Sitong shook his head and said, “That brat is not as simple as you think. The evacuated civilians did not enter Kaoshan County’s Tunzhen. Instead, they went all the way to the seaside. Even Kaoshan County’s own people are also evacuating to the seaside. Kaoshan County is now empty!”
“Why would they retreat to the seaside? Could it be …”
Zhou Shengwu looked at him in disbelief, but he suddenly realized a huge problem. Li Sitong nodded and said, “That’s right!” “That brat has already taken down Binhai City. My insider just told me that not only did he empty the entire city of living corpses, he also received all the weapons and equipment of the original garrison. The reason he sent so many people over was to vigorously develop Binhai City and fight against us!”
“How is this possible? Kaoshan County is only a thousand militiamen, how could they take down Binhai City …”
The middle-aged officer also rushed forward with a pale face. However, Li Tingyu, who was standing at the side, said, “The corpse tide has already taken away quite a few living corpses from Binhai City. Furthermore, you should have not forgotten that the corpse collectors are never good at fighting battles. Dealing with living corpses is their watchdog skill. Now, it seems that Chen Guangda’s fight against the Fat Corpse King is very likely true!”
“Wolf’s Ambition! We’ve underestimated him too much …”
Zhou Shengwu sighed deeply, but Li Sitong said seriously, “Save me!” “No matter how much you and I fight, our common goal is to hope that Black Mountain City gets better and better. Now that Black Mountain City is on the verge of death, as long as you can help Black Mountain City overcome this calamity, I am willing to give up all military power to return to my homeland, just like the last old secretary!”
“Don’t worry! I won’t let you return to your homeland. Without an old fox like you as my opponent, how can I keep an eye on myself all the time? Besides, we still have an even stronger enemy to deal with …”
Zhou Shengwu gently patted Li Sitong’s arm and then strode down the city wall. The seven black-clothed men walked out of the darkness like ghosts and followed behind him without any hesitation. They charged towards the Screaming Empress without any hesitation, as if their entire bodies were burning with an indomitable aura.
“Shanshan! Do you think Chen Guangda is a good person or a bad person …”
Li Tingyu suddenly walked to Su Tong’s side. Su Tong sighed and said, “He must be a good person. He can prove his attitude by coming alone. However, he always likes to take the initiative. I feel that he did not take down Binhai City to fight us, but to negotiate from the same height!”
“Negotiate? Could it be that he still wants to cooperate with us …”
Li Tingyu frowned deeply and felt more and more unable to see through that fellow. Su Tong then said, “Let’s stop guessing here. Chen Guangda has never acted according to the rules. You will never be able to guess what he is thinking. Anyway, I know that he definitely did not want to kill us!”
“Then if we really fight them, which side will you stand on?”
Li Tingyu looked at her with a complicated expression. Su Tong shook her head in a daze and sighed deeply, “Ai ~ I hope we don’t really fight. None of you know that Chen Guangda. He never fought a battle that he wasn’t confident about. Even if my brother could drive him out of the Northeast, Black Mountain City would definitely suffer a great loss of vitality!”
“Then tell me, what secret is Zhou Shengwu hiding? Although the others don’t know, we all know that he was the same as Chen Guangda, but he killed a Fat Corpse King …”
Li Tingyu pulled her curiously, but suddenly she heard a loud sound of horse hooves coming from the city. When she turned her head in surprise, she saw that there were actually several people riding dark horses and motorcycles rushing towards them at high speed. Su Tong smiled and said, “It’s time to solve the riddle. Open your eyes and watch carefully!”
