Chapter 719: Chapter 715: Commander Ling_1

"We’ve been discovered?"

This thought flashes through the minds of the three, they exchange a glance and all see murder in each other’s eyes.

They slightly calm themselves down, trying their best to steady their breaths before slowly turning around.

Originally, they thought that the one who stopped them was just a curious passerby, but who would have known that upon turning around they would see his military rank on his chest.

Looking at the man’s face, Dai Changhao felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

This man had such an ordinary face that it would be hard to find him in a crowd, yet they knew him well.

According to the information collected by the Peace Party, his name was Hu Sha, he was a general under Li Songhua, the cousin of another major general Wang Baihai, and also a Level 4 New Human. He was ruthless and lecherous, just like Wang Baihai.

"Wha... What are you doing?" Dai Changhao put on an expression of fear and asked.

"Take this and go buy me a pack of cigarettes from outside."

The three were taken aback, it appeared that Hu Sha hadn’t realized that these three were imposters.

Hu Sha’s face was flushed and his eyes were unfocused, clearly he had been drinking and had no mood to observe their expressions.

"What are you standing there for, go now!" Seeing the three just standing there dumbly, Hu Sha urged them on.

"Oh, right, we’ll go buy them now."

Eventually, it was Little Wu who moved forward, walking up to Hu Sha’s side. Hu Sha opened his hand to reveal a few pieces of Yajin and slurred, "Buy the best one, keep the change. If it tastes bad, I’ll have you killed!"

After saying this, Hu Sha handed the Yajin to Little Wu and then staggered into a nearby house. As soon as the door was opened, two strong soldiers with smirky smiles came out to help him in.

"Sure, sure, we’ll buy the best!"

Little Wu had a smile on his face, but as soon as the door closed, his smile disappeared. He sneered and divided the Yajin equally, then said, "Who gives a damn about your damn cigarette!"

After that, the three of them headed towards Li’s Mansion.

Li’s Mansion was a courtyard under the government building, although calling it a courtyard was not quite right. It was more like a small city within the base, covering a wide area and located in the center of Qinshan Base, not too far from where they were now. It would only take two or three minutes to walk there.

From a distance, they could see the walls ruined beyond recognition, while a few soldiers were drowsily sweeping up the debris on the ground.

Noises constantly came from inside the mansion: strange roars, shouts and commands from the sergeants, and the helpless sobbing of women and children.

The discipline management of Qinshan Base was not very good. The soldiers had chosen this job just to survive, even many sergeants did the same. Along the way, they would ignore any soldiers they saw, not even bothering to greet them.

Upon noticing this, the three of them no longer acted cautiously and walked in brazenly.

"More people have arrived."

"Which wave is this?"

"Who knows, these people are pretty mysterious, seems like they’re from some big base. Anyway, let’s not mess with them, just do whatever they tell us to."

"Right, risking your life for face is really not worth it."

They caught snippets of conversation between two soldiers nearby. At first, the trio thought they were talking about them, but after a while, they realized that three transport helicopters, shaped like eagles, were slowly coming down at the landing zone.

"That’s not from Qinshan Base, those people must have been sent from another base. But which one could it be? Guanglan Base?"

Dai Changhao squinted and looked at them until the three choppers successfully landed and were no longer visible.

"It doesn’t seem so." The Peace Party member standing next to Little Wu shook his head, also puzzled.

"Never mind, let’s go."

In the bustling Li’s Mansion, Dai Changhao led the two of them to casually sweep with a broom, acting as workers cleaning up the ruins, making their way slowly towards the government building.

"Move forward, there’s nothing to see here."

After observing that no one was paying attention to them, the three of them moved deeper into the mansion with their brooms, the noise inside becoming clearer.

"Stop crying! Or I’ll throw you in there!"

After just a few steps, Dai Changhao saw a man cursing and swearing as he pulled back a black cloth covering a "cube", revealing a large cage inside.

The cage was made of an unknown material, the whole body of it was a dark cyan-blue, like unpolished black iron, burnt red hot by fire. The three of them were familiar with it. It was "H" steel, formed from multiple fusing of anti-life matter. Judging from its quality, its grade wasn’t low.

What was more striking was the silver zombie locked inside the cage. Its head was unusually large, with teeth protruding out like fat maggots. The moment the black curtain was pulled, it raised its huge hand to strike the cage, roaring at the man.

"What the hell is that? I’ve never seen such a zombie."

"A mutant zombie? Yesterday’s Level 6 zombie had its head blown apart three times and still didn’t die."

"Hey, it must’ve been infected by that Level 6 zombie."

The man was using the zombie as a threat towards a little boy in front of him. The noise was so loud that they couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying from a distance.

The boy kept crying while the man yelled at him. After a while, the man took him away looking exasperated.

The trio quickly moved forward to observe the zombie up close. However, when they noticed people coming their way they quickly retreated, ending up in a deserted corner to observe from afar.

Two groups of soldiers from another base were making their way down the path. Their gear was completely mechanized. At first, the trio assumed they were soldiers from the City of Bright Moon, but upon closer inspection, they found that despite the soldiers’ uniform strides, their exoskeleton armor was not black or silver, but indigo blue!

On their chests was a symbol of two hands clasping a diamond-shaped flower, a symbol none of them had ever seen before, leaving them confused.

"Have you two ever seen that symbol before?"

"The symbol for Guanglan Base looks a bit like a fan, and the City of Bright Moon’s is a crescent moon. Only these two places in S Province have exoskeleton armor. This symbol, could it be from an outside province?"

"From an outside province? Why would they come here?"

"Certainly up to no good."

The soldiers from the mysterious faction slowly left. However, they seemed to have met someone, and a voice was heard.

"Qinshan Base, come here and announce the arrival of the Jinhai reinforcement army. I am Commander Ling, ask Li Songhua to come meet me!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You guys go wait in the open area up front, our leader will be here soon!"

"Hurry up!"

Hearing the commotion over there, Little Wu was somewhat irritated and muttered, "Who the hell is this Commander Ling, acting so damn arrogant."

"Stop looking, let’s go!"
