A guard leaned out to look and saw a group of people quickly approaching. Under the flickering light, their faces became increasingly clear.
“Sheng... Shengyuan!”
A guard recognized a familiar face among the group, and a wave of panic surged within him.
Why had the base been in a state of martial law these days? Why were guards being assigned at the city gate as if facing a great enemy every day? Wasn't it to prevent this big guy who had been rescued from escaping?
Originally, it had been several days since the incident, and everyone thought it would simply be forgotten. Who would have thought that on such a night, Shengyuan would actually return with a group of people!
“Tell Huang...”
A small leader also recognized Shengyuan and immediately turned to run back, warning the guards on the city wall.
A flash of white light pierced through, and a long knife lodged itself into the small leader's back, pinning him to the ground.
Xia Lei’s face was filled with rage; she was obviously in a bad mood.
Under Ye Zhongming's influence, everyone basically refrained from being do-gooders and showing pity to those struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
However, they were not completely heartless deviants; they still had their limits.
Xia Lei and Ye Zhongming had been here before and had heard about Huang Xijie's act of burning down the city. Although the purpose was to obtain magic crystals, there were still thousands of living people trapped in the flames at that time, all of whom were completely surrounded and ended up dead or mutated after being bitten by zombies.
Xia Lei felt extreme disgust towards the person who made that decision and, by extension, had no good feelings for the accomplice guards, directly dealing them fatal blows.
The guards were stunned initially, then immediately scattered in panic.
In the face of death, what duties and courage were all just nonsense.
The guards on the city walls noticed the commotion below and immediately sent someone to notify the higher-ups, while the others nervously watched the approaching group with weapons in hand.
Previously, they had asked what to do if they entered Ulan County City, and Ye Zhongming’s answer was to fight their way in! At this moment, looking at the thick city gates, everyone frowned; were they going to cut their way through with the edge of the moon bit by bit? How long would that take?
Ye Zhongming quickly provided them with the answer. He drew the edge of the moon and used the sealing technique on the ancient city gate: flame blade.
With a loud bang, the city gate was split into two halves. Ye Zhongming went up and delivered several strikes of the aura of full power, completely destroying the metal gate that could originally withstand zombie attacks.
The guards on the wall were nearly going crazy, watching this scene in disbelief. What kind of strength was needed to shatter a gate weighing thousands of pounds like that?
A few guards were still somewhat clear-headed and suddenly began throwing stones and other objects down from the side. One captain even pulled out a police pistol and fired two shots at the people below the wall.
However, before they could continue their assault, they saw Shengyuan pick up a large golden dog, roar, and toss the dog into the air. The golden dog soared upwards, propelled by this force, and landed on the city wall, its claws scrabbling against the blue bricks as it swiftly climbed up to the top of the high wall.
For the guards, who had only one evolver, facing a second-level mutated dog—especially one that had been carefully raised by Ye Zhongming—was truly the end of the world.
Screams, chaotic gunfire, and the roar of earth yellow pills instantly threw the city head into disarray.
The survivors gathered outside the city were stunned. They hadn’t expected that what they thought would be another peaceful night that might starve them would take such a turn.
Every day had been torment for them since they arrived here. Some who couldn’t enter the city had left to try their luck elsewhere, while more remained, hoping to someday save enough for the entry fee and gain the protection of the tall city walls.
