Apocalypse King System
Chapter 226 226: Plans

"Hmph... I have my own plans. Why do I need someone like you, who doesn't understand tactics, to meddle?" Ma Quan snorted coldly.

Wu Junwen seemed somewhat helpless, lowering his head and not daring to speak again. However, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "When your plan begins, it will be the day of your demise."

"You old thing, always contradicting me, vying for power. One day, I'll show you!" Ma Quan couldn't help but think to himself.

The two scheming individuals glanced at each other, then both calmly withdrew their gazes.

"Alright, since everyone has no objections, let's prepare to set off..."

Early in the morning, the entire base mobilized.

Lin Mo'er, in a daze, heard the slogans coming from the base in her sleep. Slowly opening her eyes, as if realizing something, the girl reached out, only to find the space beside her empty.

Lin Mo'er suddenly fully awakened, pulled back the covers, and found that Derick was indeed not inside. Shaking her head, she anxiously got dressed and got out of bed, searching the house, but still found no trace of Derick.

Just as Lin Mo'er was about to call out anxiously, Derick suddenly pushed the door open and entered. Lin Mo'er was stunned for a moment, then rushed into his embrace.

"Derick, where did you go? I thought you had left..." The girl's heart was beating fast, and her voice was trembling.

Derick was taken aback, not expecting that in just one day, this strong girl would become dependent on him.

"Don't worry, everything's fine. I just had some things to take care of. I wouldn't leave you two little girls behind..." Derick patted the girl's back, comforting her in a soft voice.

Behind the two, in Lin Kexin's room, the little girl opened a small door crack and quietly observed the scene, her face showing an envious expression as she watched her sister and Derick embracing.

"You two freshen up and have some breakfast first. There's probably going to be a big change at the base today..."

Seeing her sister turn around, Lin Kexin quietly closed the door.

Lin Mo'er knocked on her sister's door, waking up the pretending-to-sleep Lin Kexin. The two sisters had breakfast and then followed Derick to the center of the base.

On the other side, Ma Quan had already set out with his team half an hour ago. They didn't force their way through, considering that their small group was far from enough to deal with the thousands of zombie hordes.

So Ma Quan's strategy was to first send out an elite team along the underground tunnels and some air-raid shelters, avoiding the large zombie groups, and then create some commotion to attract the attention of most of the zombies.

With a loud bang from a nearby high-rise building, the nearby zombies became restless and gathered towards the source of the noise. Ma Quan's eyes lit up, and he gestured to the others.

Dozens of military and modified armored vehicles rolled over the zombies, while explosions in the distance continued to attract the majority of the zombies.

So their operation went very smoothly this time, with only a dozen or so casualties, they had already reached the edge of the food warehouse.

"Great, brothers, once we enter the food warehouse, there's an old civil defense project inside. We can use it to transport the food. We just need to clear the passage between this air-raid shelter and the one inside the base..." Ma Quan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

The soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, digging tunnels was much safer than risking zombie attacks to transport food.

At that moment, Ma Quan's men opened fire, wiping out all the zombies at the entrance of the food warehouse. At this point, causing a little commotion was no longer a concern.

"Stop the vehicles. Don't damage the main gate. We'll need it to fend off the zombie attacks later," Ma Quan patted the roof of the vehicle, signaling the driver to stop.

The dozen or so military vehicles came to a halt at the entrance of the food warehouse. Several soldiers rushed forward, opened the warehouse gate, and the convoy drove straight in, closing the gate behind them. The zombies that were trailing behind were blocked outside.

After entering the gate, hundreds of soldiers disembarked and began searching for sandbags or sacks of food to block the entrance. Although the other team had led away some of the zombies, not all of them had been diverted.

As they made all this commotion, many zombies that had not been attracted by the distraction also rushed over, surrounding the food warehouse densely.

If they couldn't defend the food warehouse, let alone transporting the food, their survival would become a question. Fortunately, most of the diverted zombies had been drawn away, and dealing with the remaining ones using the terrain advantage shouldn't be a problem.

While Ma Quan and his soldiers were busy fortifying the area around the food warehouse, not far away in a high-rise building, Zhang Jianxiong was speaking to his men.

"How's it going? Is the timed bomb ready?"

"Boss, it's all set. We can detonate it anytime. It will definitely blow open the food warehouse..."

"Are you sure there won't be any issues? Ma Quan and his men are from the military. Can a few so-called bomb experts really outmatch them?" Zhang Jianxiong seemed to have some doubts as he asked.

"I'm not sure about that, but those two bomb experts were sent by Wu Junwen. He said they are some kind of international mercenaries..."

"International mercenaries staying in Grey Bear..." Zhang Jianxiong muttered to himself.

Then, with a grim expression, he looked in the direction of the food warehouse. "Captain Ma, don't blame us for being too ruthless. It's just that we can't feel at ease with you around."

Inside the base in the Demon City, Wu Junwen looked at his watch, a hint of madness in his eyes. "3... 2... 1~"

Then a much quieter sound than the previous explosion went off, followed by the sound of intense gunfire coming from the direction of the food warehouse.

"Hahaha..." Wu Junwen laughed maniacally, feeling like he had the entire base under his control.

"Chirp..."

Suddenly, a sharp bird call rang out, and nearly half of the survivors in the Demon City heard it, throwing the base into chaos.

"What's that sound?" Interrupted from his dream of controlling the base, Wu Junwen said irritably, pushing open a window to look outside.

A golden eagle, the size of half a football field, was standing on the edge of the base's wall. Its massive claws made it look as if it were standing on a small twig.

With a screech, the golden eagle flapped its wings just twice, and the three layers of the base's walls collapsed like paper, with piled-up old vehicles being blown into the air and the decrepit brick walls being easily destroyed.

All the survivors in the base went crazy at the sight of the golden eagle, screaming and fleeing.

Wu Junwen looked at the incredibly powerful and majestic giant eagle, his gaze momentarily filled with despair. Could this be something that human strength could contend with?

Amidst the chaos engulfing the entire base, a group composed entirely of women entered through the breach created by the giant eagle, moving steadily and exuding a fierce aura.

At the same time, in the food warehouse where Ma Quan was located, he too was filled with despair. A sudden, unexpected explosion echoed within the warehouse, killing several soldiers and blasting a large hole in the surrounding walls.

If casualties were considered a minor issue, the continuous influx of zombies pouring in through the blasted opening, along with more attracted by the explosion, plunged the soldiers in the food warehouse into despair.

"Who the hell did this?" Ma Quan roared. The area around the food warehouse had been secure, so how could there suddenly be an explosion, especially one caused by high-explosive bombs?

Gritting his teeth, Ma Quan ordered several vehicles to temporarily block the blasted opening, then commanded the soldiers to begin killing the zombies in front. However, this was only a temporary measure. There were simply too many zombies outside, and they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

As the soldiers repelled one wave of zombies, another relentless wave charged forward, causing the vehicles blocking the opening to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Soon, the intense commotion attracted two mutated zombies, one of level two and the other of level three. Both were exceptionally powerful, and they easily overturned the vehicles blocking the opening, allowing the zombie horde to pour continuously into the food warehouse...
