Chapter 500: Chapter 45 Shocking Plan_3

"Gunshots." Hearing gunshots coming faintly from up ahead, everyone’s nerves tightened instantly, subconsciously looking at Tang Zheng.

"Don’t stop, rush through, if we end up encountering snipers, unleash all your ultimate abilities." Tang Zheng shouted into the car radio, notifying Dantai.

No one questioned him, and everyone prepared for battle.

In just two minutes, they saw the battling sides. An armored vehicle was stranded on the roadside, and about fifty people were using it as cover to defend against a group of Beastman Grenadiers.

"These people are elites, challenging more with fewer numbers." Pang Meiqin looked confused for a moment, "Why aren’t they running?"

"I guess they want to steal the Beastman’s vehicle. After all, the Beastmen’s Frog jump tactics have been successful, they’re bound to catch up at any moment, can’t outrun wheels on foot." Tang Zheng urged the Hummer to accelerate towards them, he himself grabbed the machine gun on the roof of the car. The Beastmen also noticed these unexpected guests and immediately sent half their forces to attack them.

The machine gun fired, bullets with an orange-red glow whizzed by, immediately flipping several of the Beastman’s firing positions. One of their machine guns was even blasted apart.

Caught in a pincer attack, these Beastmen were soon finished.

"Have we stopped yet?" asked Pang Meiqin. Dantai, however, was forced to stop the car because a man in a general’s uniform was standing by the roadside, waving for them to stop.

"Damn it, this guy’s taking matters into his own hands." Li Meilian objected, siding with Tang Zheng.

"You’ve got it wrong. Without this general, we might not even be able to enter the base." Tang Zheng worriedly expressed that they didn’t want to sleep in the large shop, or eat pig feed anymore.

"Which one of you is Tang Zheng? The general wishes to speak with you." A fully armed aide with a face full of gunpowder smoke came over, saluted first, then asked.

"Me." Tang Zheng greeted him, signaled Qin Yan and the others to act accordingly, then got out of the Hummer.

The general’s subordinates seemed to be very familiar with the Beastman war chariots. In just five minutes, they got them all up and running. Tang Zheng sat in the command vehicle, watching a middle-aged man in his forties meticulously scouring the map. Suddenly, Tang Zheng had a feeling of resentment. This guy was probably the highest-ranking commander in the small town. Its implication was self-evident.

"Are you saying that I abandoned my town and my subordinates?" The general seemed to perceive Tang Zheng’s anger, he sighed helplessly, fell silent for a while, and then said, "My only son is still there, still managing the battle."

"What do you mean?" Tang Zheng furrowed his brows.

"Do you think the small town will fall? No, although the Beastmen have gained the upper hand, it is only temporary. My son will drive them away and regain the defense line." The general’s complexion reddened as his blood surged, he had suppressed his feelings for a long time, he needed a commoner to listen to his woes. Of course, if he hadn’t learned from Dantai that they had killed three mad female orcs, he wouldn’t have done this.

"Your son could become the Beastmen’s meat by tomorrow." Tang Zheng was simply disinterested in placating a defector. Thinking of Tais and her mother, he couldn’t help but want to beat him up.

"The Beastmen’s Frog jump tactics are also part of my plan." The general seemed to have controlled his emotions and his tone became much calmer, "By the way, General Lamb is also here. Unfortunately, I can’t compete with him at the moment."

"Why did the small town fall? Also, can you organize your thoughts before speaking?" Tang Zheng couldn’t stand his incoherence.

"Sorry, because all my senior officers have been killed, so orders cannot be executed and this was taken advantage of by the Beastmen." The general’s face was full of a bitter smile, "Some people did such despicable acts in order to achieve their objectives."

Tang Zheng said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

"I just received news that the three admirals at the base have officially reached a secret agreement. The base is to be used as a bait, to lure the Beastman Army here, and then detonate the buried Im Energy to bury them all." The general’s expression was filled with fury, he punched the table.

"You’re not kidding." Even the hardened Tang Zheng couldn’t help but swallow hard, "If I remember correctly, there are over 10 million people in the base, right?"

"That’s 13 million. The admirals want to turn this place into a battlefield meat grinder, let the Beastmen fill it up with their forces. Do you think that with humanity on the brink of extinction, General Lamb and the queen will come to watch this final battle? By then, if they were blown to pieces, humans would be bound to win."

"How are the admirals going to escape?" Tang Zheng didn’t believe that those admirals would be willing to perish together with the Beastmen.

"Didn’t you know that the Yim Sea is right behind the base?" The Lieutenant General glanced at Tang Zheng and said, "They have secretly constructed a massive mobile platform in the shipyard, capable of floating on the ocean, called the Crow’s Nest. It is composed of multiple aircraft carriers and large warships, ready to set sail at any time."

"That will be the last base for humans, completely self-sufficient." The Lieutenant General extended his hand towards Tang Zheng, "I’ve heard you’re capable of killing a mad female orc. Are you interested in becoming the captain of my personal guard?"

"Aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you?" Tang Zheng looked at the forceful hand, hesitant to agree lightly. Who could guarantee that he didn’t have the notion to use him?

"I am, but I trust my intuition more. You didn’t abandon those severely wounded civilians, and even a pregnant woman. That’s proof." The Lieutenant General stared into Tang Zheng’s black eyes, "Are you really prepared to watch the death of 1.2 million people?"

"Even if you stop the explosion, can you guarantee to repulse the Beastmen? This place is bound to be a meat grinder." Tang Zheng shook his head. In any case, there would be millions of human deaths right before his eyes.

"No, but with their collective will, humans will always triumph over the Beastmen." The Lieutenant General gave a bitter smile," I can’t lose, because my only son, in faith of my belief, is in a death battle with the Beastmen in the small town."

"Alright, I’ll do my best to help you." Tang Zheng was moved, this old man’s heart sure was stubborn. But he merely upheld his dignity. Agreeing outright would make himself seem like an easy target. Without the general, Tang Zheng would probably not even have the status of a civilian, he would be caught once he enters the base and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
