Chapter 578: Chapter 575: Betrayal and Treason_1

Upon seeing this gang of car racers, Niu Xiaosan brought his car to a halt, the sharp screech of his brakes attracting the attention of the gang.

"A car’s coming this way."

"Is it one of ours?"

"No, I’ve never seen it before."

"Just one. Well then, let’s check it out."

Upon spotting the jeep driven by Tang Ye, the lounging car gang members smirked and walked toward them with blades and guns in hand. They committed murder and arson frequently without any sense of guilt, instead, they found it addictive.

"Lord Zombie King, I think I recognize a few of them. Should I go talk to them?"

After inspecting closely, Niu Xiaosan surprisingly identified a few faces amongst the car gang.

Tang Ye nodded in approval. He detected a will in the air connected to each nearby zombie. Strangest of all, it seemed that the wielder of this will had the power to delegate control.

In his perception, the consciousness of all nearby zombies was thread-like and some of these threads were connected to several car gang members. Each time a gang member gestured, a few zombies would crowd around him, offering an exhilarating feeling of controlling the zombies at will.

"Hey, Old Jiao, it’s me!"

Niu Xiaosan stuck his head out of the car window, greeted the approaching gang members, and they froze for a moment. They exchanged glances but their faces didn’t express the emotions you would expect when meeting with an old friend. Instead, their eyes were filled with a certain kind of hatred.

"You?"

"Yes, yes, it’s..."

Before Niu Xiaosan had a chance to feel pleased, he noted the changed expressions of the others, "Wait...you guys?"

The car gang members started laughing, but their laughter was grim.

"You dare to come back here? Hahaha!"

"What’s the matter?" Niu Xiaosan looked confused.

"You bastard, you dare to ask us why?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

Niu Xiaosan was clueless. Why were his old pals looking at him with such hateful eyes?

"Don’t remember? What we discussed a few days back?"

The car gang member at the forefront was seething with rage. Upon hearing this, Niu Xiaosan recalled an unusual meeting set up by Chen Zhouquan a few days ago when something seemed amiss.

The Chen brothers were always mysterious and as soon as the car gang members found out about the meeting, many sensed trouble.

The car gang operated in separate substations, and Niu Xiaosan and the few members present were from the fourth substation. However, different groups belonged to the same substation. On the eve of the gathering, Wu Xing, the group leader of Niu Xiaosan’s brigade, had held talks with others about Chen Zhouquan’s intentions for convening the meeting.

The reason why Wu Xing sought this group was that the car gang was filled with dissidents seeking power, many would cury favor with the gang leaders for a higher rank. What Wu Xing intended to do was leave the gang.

The Chen brothers were ruthless, and no one could guarantee their safety from their malicious plots. Their daily act of feeding their subordinates to the zombies already depicted their cruelty. Faced with the cold-hearted duo, anyone would harbor resentment.

The Chen brothers despised betrayal the most. If caught, they’d be subject to tortures much worse than death. It would be easy for Wu Xing to leave alone, but in the end, he would be eaten if he didn’t join a group for safety.

He had a few trust-worthy followers, so how could he just leave? However, escaping with his group would be difficult with the Chen brothers around, as they could potentially disrupt their plans.

Therefore, Wu Xing needed allies, and the group leader of Group L became his accomplice due to mutual trust. Thus, Wu Xing collaborated with members of Group L.

Following all discussions, the car gang assembly started. As anticipated by Wu Xing, the Chen brothers opened the doors to their territory three minutes into the event. Thousands of zombies barged in as the Chen brothers fed the entire car gang to them!

Wu Xing had already made preparations and led the rebellion with two groups, totaling to nearly eighty people.

With this, the car gang was in total chaos. Wu Xing, along with his gun-wielding, motorbike-riding men, started a massacre.

However, they carelessly forgot an essential rule of survival-never trust anyone! With a total of nearly eighty men, they wanted to revolt and escape\xa0 from an assemblage of hundreds? From the very beginning, Wu Xing never thought so. His union with the group was twofold – to increase the success rate of their mutiny, and to betray at a critical time!

After all, it’s better for others to die than your own people.

Therefore, as the rebellion began, Wu Xing abandoned Group L, leading his group and leaving on his own. One of Group L’s members clung on Niu Xiaosan’s motorcycle and begged for help. However, his plea was ignored, and his hand was chopped off.

Shocked, Niu Xiaosan saw that the man with the amputated hand was leading the group that approached him!

"It’s you!"

Niu Xiaosan nearly jumped out of his skin. He glanced at the man’s hand and saw it was covered with a glove. Relieved, he was still puzzled as to how the revengeful Chen brothers could leave a traitor alive.

"Surprised? We’re still alive."

The man grinned sinisterly. Under Niu Xiaosan’s gaze, he took off his glove, revealing his rotten hands!

"These..." Niu Xiaosan was again shocked. Those were zombie hands!

"Go to hell!"

The faces of Niu Xiaosan’s acquaintances from the car gang twisted in anger. The other members, who Niu Xiaosan didn’t recognize, exhibited the same expression. Tang Ye furrowed his brows, though he was unsure about the details, he noticed an odd combination of human and zombie scent on the car gang members.

The gangsters raised their guns aiming at Niu Xiaosan and Tang Ye in the passenger seat and pulled the triggers!

Bang!

With the gunfire, a man fell forward, blood gushing out of the bullet hole in his head. It wasn’t Niu Xiaosan, but one of them. Subsequently, the surrounding area echoed with countless gunshots, originating from within the nearby supermarket, resulting in a gunfight with the car gang members aiming at the supermarket!

"Damn it, the military folks got out!"

"Attack!"

Roooar!

Dozens of zombies rushed into the supermarket. Through the glass windows, Tang Ye saw several soldiers in uniforms.

"It’s them!"

Tang Ye turned pale, recognizing those humans to be from the 49th Division. However, this realization dawned on him...

An ominous feeling crept up inside him. He unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the car door rushing to save the soldiers, but it was too late. Just as he reached the entrance, several soldiers were shot to pieces due to the concentrated gunfire.
