Chapter 285
The man appeared to be in his late thirties, approaching forty.0
He was burly, with a scar etched across his brow.0
His muscular fra exuded toughness from every angle, making him the epito of a hardcore man.0
Anyone timid might have been intimidated by his naturally fierce deanor, perhaps even trembling or crying.0
He furrowed his brow as he glanced at his subordinate.0
"Stop being so jumpy. You’re not a kid anymore. Calm down when sothing happens."0
The subordinate imdiately lowered his head.0
"Let’s wait and see what they’re up to. We don’t want to kill the wrong people."0
He pushed back his chair and stood up.0
Just then, the door to the room opened.0
A woman in her thirties walked in.0
She wore a beige coat, a white scarf, and a beret. Her face, though marked by age, was strikingly beautiful.0
She had the allure of a mature woman, her every smile captivating.0
Her presence was elegant and commanding.0
"You, go outside and use the loudspeaker to warn them. See how they react. If they show any hostile intent, shoot them imdiately.0
But if they an no harm, let them leave," the man instructed his subordinate.0
"Yes, sir!"0
The subordinate nodded and quickly left.0
As he passed the woman, his gaze briefly lingered on her face.0
But he quickly averted his eyes.0
Once the subordinate was gone, the rugged man’s stern expression softened entirely.0
"Honey, why did you co out in this cold weather?"0
He smiled warmly, grabbing the coat hanging by the table and draping it over her shoulders.0
He then handed her a hot water bottle to warm her hands.0
"Still cold?" he asked with concern.0
The woman shook her head, her delicate brows lifting slightly.0
"Not anymore. By the way, what were you talking about earlier? Sothing about killing the wrong people?"0
The man imdiately took her hand and led her to the floor-to-ceiling window, pointing toward the sky in the distance.0
"That helicopter flew over us earlier, then left, but now it’s back.0
Shi Dong asked if we should shoot it down.0
But we don’t know their purpose or whether they’re friend or foe.0
So I told him to investigate first and see what they’re up to before making any rash decisions.0
Anyway, why did you co here all of a sudden?"0
The woman raised an eyebrow. "What, don’t want here? Or... is there another woman in your room?"0
"Absolutely not!"0
The man imdiately raised his hand in a vow.0
"Honey, my loyalty to you is as solid as the earth and sky. I’d never betray you!0
I’m just worried you’ll catch a cold.0
If you don’t believe , search the room right now.0
If you find even a single strand of another woman’s hair, I’ll castrate myself!"0
His expression was deadly serious, as if he feared she might leave him over this.0
"Alright, I’m just teasing you," the woman said with a light laugh, her eyes exuding a mix of mature charm and boldness.0
She turned her gaze to the window.0
At that mont, the helicopter slowly descended onto the roof of a low-rise building.0
Shi Dong and his team quickly moved toward it.0
Soon, the two groups faced each other.0
"Who are you? What’s your purpose for coming here so boldly?"0
Shi Dong frowned, his expression guarded.0
His companions also watched Yun Xiaoxiao and her group warily.0
Several of them held guns.0
"We’d like to speak with your base leader about sothing," Mu Yang said politely.0
"Whatever it is, say it now. Our base leader is too busy to et with you," Shi Dong flatly refused.0
"Hey, you..."0
Nie Yizhou, annoyed by the other side’s attitude, was about to argue, but Mu Yang pulled him back.0
Mu Yang smiled politely at Shi Dong. "Here’s the situation. A Zombie Extermination Army has been ford in the western region of Hua Country. Its goal is to eradicate the zombie threat across the west and restore a safe living environnt for humanity.0
So far, we’ve cleared multiple cities of zombies.0
Passing through Ren City, we noticed that the zombies here have already been eliminated. This shows you must have exceptional capabilities.0
We’d like to invite you to join the Zombie Extermination Army and head to Rong City with us to continue the fight."0
After hearing Mu Yang’s explanation, Shi Dong’s expression remained sour.0
"Get out of here! We’re not interested in joining your so-called Zombie Extermination Army!"0
What a joke. Travel all the way to Rong City to kill zombies?0
They’d have to be bored out of their minds or have a death wish.0
"Hey, your attitude is really asking for a beating. My brother Mu Yang has been nothing but polite to you. At least go and relay the ssage.0
You’re not the base leader. How do you know he’s not interested?0
Or are you making decisions for him?0
Are you trying to take over as base leader?"0
"Just leave already! Stop wasting our ti!"0
As if his secret had been exposed, Shi Dong’s face darkened.0
"If you don’t leave now, don’t bla us for opening fire!"0
He waved his hand, and his n imdiately aid their guns at Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.0
But in the next second, he felt two small feet step onto his shoulders, and sothing cold pressed against his forehead.0
"Take us to your base leader, or I’ll pull the trigger," a soft yet icy child’s voice rang out.0
Shi Dong’s pupils dilated. He forced himself to stay calm and gritted his teeth.0
"Aren’t you afraid my n will turn you into Swiss cheese?!"0
Yun Xiaoxiao smirked faintly. "You’re welco to try. Let’s see if their guns are faster than mine.0
Don’t worry, even if I’m turned into Swiss cheese, I’ll make sure to blow your brains out first."0
Shi Dong: !!!0
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble on my turf!"0
Just then, a stern voice sounded from behind them.0
"Base leader, they’re here to cause trouble! Save !"0
Hearing the voice, Shi Dong imdiately cried out for help.0
Nie Yizhou couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity.0
"Hey, are you serious? We’ve already explained our intentions clearly. How is that causing trouble?0
anwhile, you’re the one deceiving your leader, making decisions without authorization, and now you’re trying to shift the bla."0
Nie Yizhou pursed his lips and looked at the man across from him.0
"You’re the base leader of Ren City, right? Let tell you, this subordinate of yours has issues—big ones."0
The man frowned.0
"Lower your weapons!"0
At his command, his n imdiately complied.0
Yun Xiaoxiao also holstered her gun and hopped off Shi Dong, landing back on the ground.0
"Now, who’s going to explain what’s going on here?" the man asked sternly.0
"What a lovely little girl!"0
Suddenly, a light chuckle broke the tension.0
"Honey, why did you co down? Put on your coat. You’ll catch a cold."0
But the woman ignored him and walked up to Yun Xiaoxiao, smiling warmly.0
"Little one, I’ve got so soup at ho. Would you like to co and have so?"0
Yun Xiaoxiao: ???0
The man’s lips twitched. "Honey, we’re in the middle of sothing important."0
"What, is soup not important? Then don’t bother having any of the lamb soup I made today!"0
The man: ……0
