236: Chapter 236: Zombie Disruption Interception Failed

They only had a few dozen people, while Zongzheng Yue brought tens of thousands, a difference in scale that was simply incomparable.

They also knew that if Zongzheng Yue insisted on entering the capital, they certainly couldn't stop him. The fact that he was willing to speak cordially now already showed him great respect.

"Commander Zong, I apologize, but due to my duty, I cannot let you pass!" The officer remained unyielding.

"This matter is not something you can get involved in. We are all soldiers of Huaguo, and I don't want our own people to fight. Step aside!" Zongzheng Yue said.

The officer stood there, unmoving.

"Assign a few people to keep an eye on them. We continue to advance!" Commander Zong stopped wasting words with him and ordered.

The officer also knew that his side was too outnumbered, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. This was good, it saved him from further difficulty. Commander Zong was right, in a battle of gods, little shrimps like them couldn't get involved. He might as well not bother, let things happen as they may.

At this moment, Zongzheng Yue, while leading his troops into the city, also had a deep frown.

The situation felt wrong to him.

Why could the real Baili Ji control the Mutants?

Those Mutants just now were clearly cooperating with his actions.

This was very abnormal.

He had always believed that only members of the Red Coat Sect could control Mutants.

But now was not the time to ask; he could only wait until after the matter was resolved.

The fake Baili Ji, upon learning that Zongzheng Yue was still advancing, became a little flustered. The Mutants were very disobedient now, and trying to mobilize them to intercept Zongzheng Yue wouldn't work. He could only dispatch the Military Region's troops.

At this point, he couldn't worry about too much and quickly issued orders to the Military Region.

The Military Region, upon receiving the orders, was completely confused.

Wasn't it a good thing for the Southeast Military Region's troops to come for joint defense? With their assistance, wouldn't the Mutant riot be quelled quickly? Why were they now being ordered to withdraw from various living areas to intercept Zongzheng Yue? This didn't make sense!

"Could this Zongzheng Yue have some ulterior motive?" The senior officers of the Central Military Region all had this thought after receiving the order.

Once this thought arose, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

However, a soldier's duty is to obey orders. Thinking about these things now was useless; it was better to quickly dispatch troops.

Even dispatching people was difficult now, because the streets and alleys were all filled with Mutants.

If someone observed carefully, they would find that the Mutants basically didn't intercept Zongzheng Yue's troops. As soon as their troops approached, they would immediately retreat. This led to their extremely fast advance.

In contrast, the Central Military Region was having a hard time.

Every small squad was intercepted by layers of Mutants, making it very difficult to withdraw.

This resulted in the Central Military Region Commander-in-Chiefs office's two consecutive interception orders failing to be executed.

"How is this Zongzheng Yue advancing so quickly? Don't the Mutants attack them?" In the Commander-in-Chiefs office, an officer said in confusion after seeing the intelligence.

His words stirred up a thousand waves.

This was solid proof: this Zongzheng Yue definitely had a problem, a big problem. He might even be colluding with the Red Coat Sect.

What they didn't know was that the real situation was completely opposite to their guess.

"So what do we do now? Our troops are being entangled by Mutants, and it will probably take some time for them to break free." Another officer raised the question.

"The situation is urgent now. If I'm not mistaken, Zongzheng Yue's target is the Council Building. Since blocking the road won't work, we might as well directly order each squad to converge towards the Council Building and build fortifications around its periphery."

"I agree!"

"Agreed!"

The order was sent out.

Upon receiving the order, each squad rushed towards the Council Building at all costs.

On the other side, Baili Ji also began to prepare for action.

"Speaker, it's our turn to appear." Ling Zhenhai reported.

"Good, let's begin!" Baili Ji said.

He had experienced many grand scenes, and this small skirmish showed no ripple in his heart.

Upon receiving the instruction, Ling Zhenhai notified Shen Wengang.

Shen Wengang took out his satellite phone and dialed.

"Reporting, Commander, I am Tian Gang of the Dark Night Squad, I have a situation to report to you."

"Speak!"

"Our squad found a suspicious target in North District 2. Should we apprehend him?" Shen Wengang asked for instructions.

"Suspicious target? Apprehend immediately!" The Speaker replied excitedly.

"Yes!"

He still had great confidence in the Dark Night Squad. He had personally formed it, and they were all Mutants. Their combat power was absolutely top-tier; dealing with some ordinary people was simply effortless for them.

Upon learning that the Dark Night Squad had found the target, the fake Speaker's heart finally settled.

No matter how much Zongzheng Yue stirred things up, as long as that person was captured, the situation would quickly calm down.

02:25.

Shen Wengang called again.

"Reporting, Commander, the suspicious target has been apprehended. A total of 2 people. However..."

"However what?" The fake Speaker was overjoyed to hear that they had been captured and quickly asked.

"However, this person's appearance..." Shen Wengang pretended to be very troubled.

The fake Speaker understood; he had seen Baili Ji's appearance and was confused.
