110: Chapter 110 What an imposing official presence!

On the highway five kilometers away from the Management Committee checkpoint.

A red "Iron Dragon" was racing close to the ground at an astonishing speed of over three hundred kilometers per hour.

Inside the red wolf heavy tank at the very front of the army, however, the atmosphere was completely different from this post-apocalyptic wilderness.

At this moment, Lu Yuan wasn't in the cockpit at all.

C-Unit NOAH had accessed Lin Zihao's holographic radar data; its autopilot technology was even smoother than that of a veteran driver.

Obstacle avoidance, micro-adjustments, and cruise control—Noah handled it all flawlessly.

Lu Yuan was comfortably tucked away in the spacious, climate-controlled Dimensional Bedroom, his entire body sinking into a soft, large bed.

He held a paper novel from the Old Era in his hands, reading it with great interest.

When his eyes grew tired, Lu Yuan let out a yawn and casually tossed the book onto the nightstand.

He rolled over comfortably, pulled a soft silk quilt over himself, and prepared to take a wonderful afternoon nap.

However, he had barely closed his eyes for two minutes.

"Beep—"

The holographic projection screen in the bedroom lit up automatically.

Noah's emotionless, synthesized mechanical voice rang out abruptly in the quiet room.

"Master, I apologize for disturbing your rest."

"The radar has detected an unidentified armed force setting up a checkpoint five kilometers ahead."

"The other party is attempting to access our public communication frequency."

"Do you accept?"

Lu Yuan, his slumber interrupted, frowned with some impatience.

"An unidentified force setting up a checkpoint? On this stretch of road?"

Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes and gave a cold laugh. "Patch them through. I want to hear what kind of nonsense they're spouting."

"Command confirmed. Connection established."

The next second.

A broadcast announcement, accompanied by harsh static, exploded simultaneously across the voice channels of the two hundred thousand-strong army.

"Attention, convoy ahead!"

"This is the New Boundary Management Committee! I am Director Zhao!"

"You have now entered the legal jurisdiction of this committee!"

The voice claiming to be Director Zhao was clear and resonant, speaking in a heavy bureaucratic tone that dripped with condescending arrogance.

"No matter how savagely you survived in the rural districts before!"

"Now that you've arrived here, you must follow the rules and understand the big picture!"

"The area ahead is a firearm-controlled zone; no one is allowed to enter while carrying weapons!"

"Please immediately surrender all weapons of mass destruction and high-level enhancement blueprints!"

"Subject yourselves to the unified dispatch of this Management Committee!"

"We, the Management Committee, will rebuild the order of human civilization!"

"Do not offer any resistance! You have thirty seconds to consider!"

"Otherwise, we will treat this as violent resistance to the law and destroy you on the spot!"

This announcement, thick with the bureaucratic air of the Old Era and packaging blatant robbery as something dignified, came to an end.

Inside the massive voice channel composed of the hundreds of thousands of members of the Red Wolf Guild.

There was a brief, three-second dead silence.

Then.

A mountain-shaking, sea-toppling explosion of frantic laughter erupted!

"Hahahaha!! Holy crap! Did I just have a hallucination?!"

"Management Committee?! Director Zhao?! What the hell is 'rebuilding the order of human civilization'?!"

"I'm dying! Has this old geezer gone senile from being a leader before the apocalypse?"

"Does he take us for some submissive citizens who follow orders?!"

"That's impressive! To describe blatant robbery in such a refined way, and even building a safe zone while demanding the confiscation of weapon blueprints?"

"This greed is ten thousand times more disgusting than those bandits outside!"

Lin Zihao, following behind the Red Wolf Tank, laughed so hard that tears nearly came out as he shouted directly into his microphone:

"Brothers! These official lords probably haven't woken up yet!"

"Do they even know that the ones they're blocking are the twenty thousand most vicious people on the entire server?!"

Listening to the excited clamor of those jokers in the guild channel.

Lu Yuan sat on the large bed, his sleepiness completely gone.

He threw off the covers and walked unhurriedly to the cockpit, looking at the defense lines flashing with red and blue warning lights on the holographic radar.

These privileged parasites of the Old Era actually dared to reach their hands toward his Red Wolf Guild.

"Since they love making rules so much."

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curled into a cruel arc, and his slender fingers rested heavily on the control lever.

"Then I'll teach them that on this wasteland, my rules are the only rules!"

Lu Yuan's voice exploded in the guild channel like the arrival of the God of Death.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"No need to slow down!"

"Follow me and crush right through them!!!"

"Rumble—!!!"

Following Lu Yuan's command, the army of two hundred thousand did not slow down at all; instead, they floored the accelerators...

...

Meanwhile.

At the Management Committee checkpoint five kilometers away.

Inside a luxury RV, the female secretary looked at the data skyrocketing on the radar screen, so frightened that her gold-rimmed glasses nearly fell off.

Her face was pale as she turned her head in terror, her voice sharp.

"Di... Director Zhao!"

"The other party didn't slow down; instead... they accelerated!!"

"Their speed has already broken four hundred kilometers per hour!"

"They're planning to ram through our defense line!"

"What?!"

Zhao Dehai, who was holding a thermos and expecting the other party to be cowed by his official authority, suddenly jerked his hand.

Scalding goji berry water splashed directly onto his thighs, making him grimace in pain.

"These lawless thugs! These unruly mobs! They have absolutely no respect for the law!"

Zhao Dehai grabbed the walkie-talkie in a fit of rage, his hypocritical kindness completely replaced by a hideous murderous intent.

"Ungrateful wretches!"

"Law Enforcement Brigade! Rocket launcher positions! Listen up!"

"Since these hicks are in such a hurry to die, then let's fulfill their wish!"

"Open fire!!"

"Blast them into a pile of scrap metal for me! Show them the consequences of provoking the Management Committee!!!"

"Yes!!!"

On the checkpoint's defense line, over a hundred heavy multi-barrel rocket launchers instantly let out a deafening roar.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Hundreds and thousands of heavy armor-piercing rockets, trailing long plumes of flame, tore through the gale!

They wove into an airtight net of death in the sky, blanketing the Red Wolf convoy!

Inside the cockpit of the Red Wolf Tank.

Facing this rain of rockets coming from all over the sky.

Noah's cold, mechanical synthesized electronic voice rang unhurriedly in Lu Yuan's ear.

[Warning! Heavy fire saturation strike detected!]

[Calculating ballistic trajectories...]

[Performing armor pressure and damage assessment...]

[Calculation complete.]

[Estimated total armor wear from this fire strike: 0.0001%.]

[Final determination: Evasion unnecessary.]

Hearing Noah's report, Lu Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid.

The next second.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The vast majority of the firepower exploded precisely against the Red Wolf Tank's frontal armor!

A world-shaking series of massive explosions instantly sent a giant fireball dozens of meters high into the air above the highway.

Thick black smoke mixed with blasted sand and stone, completely swallowing that area.

Behind the Management Committee's defense line.

Zhao Dehai looked at the giant fireball rising into the sky and laughed wildly with triumph.

"Hahahaha! Foolish idiots who don't know their place!"

"This is the end for those who oppose the authorities!"

"Even if you're a heavy tank, after taking so many heavy rockets, you're going to be fucking immobilized now!"

The surrounding thugs in black raised their weapons, preparing to go forward and harvest the spoils of war.

However.

Zhao Dehai's laughter had only reached its midpoint...

"Rumble—!!!"

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes.

That thick, billowing black gunsmoke was suddenly and brutally torn apart by a violent current of air!

A red heavy tank, as massive as a mountain, charged out from the smoke!

Completely unscathed!

Not even a single flake of paint had been chipped off!

And its cold, deathly cannon barrel was already dead-locked onto the Management Committee's positions.

"What?!"

The fat on Zhao Dehai's face trembled violently, and his eyes nearly popped right out of their sockets.

"This... this is fucking impossible!!!"
