49: Chapter 49 The situation was completely out of control, and Wu Song was terrified.
Others were just testing the waters, but he, Chen Kun, was a lion hunting a rabbit.
Others were currently dispersing their forces, but he was concentrating his firepower.
First, eat a piece of you, wipe out your advantage, and once you have no advantage, my chance to devour you arrives.
As for the ten thousand trucks heading to the Temple of the God of Wealth, even if the fifty billion corrosion crystals inside were just sitting there, that brat Yun Zhuo wouldn't have the ability to take them away.
Because to take away so many corrosion crystals all at once, even with the trucks already prepared, it would require at least five thousand people.
To put it plainly, Yun Zhuo was simply not within his scope of consideration.
He was merely playing along to counter the scheme and devour his opponent in one bite, though he still didn't know exactly who was making a move against him.
But regardless, he had a chance to counter-kill either of these two families if they acted alone.
If the two families joined forces, then he would have no choice but to take his son and the gains he had made in Tomorrow City over these years, and flee far away from Tomorrow City.
For this, he even brought his wife along. As for those twenty-eight mistresses, he could find more if they died; with just a glance, he could have as many women like that as he wanted, so they weren't worth pitying at all.
"Is there still no news from Mao Tu?"
Inside one of the shipping containers in the Chen Family convoy, which had long since been set up by Chen Kun as a combat command room, he was currently sitting there.
Beside him, assisting him, was Chen Long.
The Twelve Zodiacs were the trump card among the Chen Family's retainers, the elite of the elite.
These Twelve Zodiacs beside Chen Kun, although not as authentic as the main family's, were still standouts from the official Twelve Zodiacs, selected from the descendants of the official Twelve Zodiacs.
They were also the source of confidence that allowed him, an outsider, to gain a firm foothold in Dawn City.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Bo did not know any of this.
Chen Kun's plan was to wait until Chen Bo graduated from university and, while grooming him as his successor, slowly let him come into contact with these people.
After all, this was the sharp sword in his hand, his foundation for survival.
Just like an emperor would not let the crown prince control the army.
Isn't a life of a kind father and filial son good? Why must one go and incite their ambition, creating unrealistic fantasies, only to end up with father and son killing each other later? Wouldn't that be like having one's brain caught in a door?
Chen Long shook his head: "Still checking. The other party is acting very covertly this time.
However, after learning that we mobilized fifty billion corrosion crystals to leave the city, the Qi Family appeared very nervous."
"The Ling Family shows no movement on the surface, but Ling Lifeng's second concubine, Qi Shurong, suddenly returned to her maiden home shortly after."
"How did that happen?"
"Family Head, fifty billion corrosion crystals is no small amount. With the strength of the Qi and Ling families, it would be very easy for them to find out."
"Forget it. Whether they are starting to unite now or are still testing each other, there is no turning back once the arrow is fired.
Tell the convoy to speed up. At the same time, tell Yin Hu and the others to speed up the search. The faster we find the opponent's main force, the more advantageous it is for us.
Have You Ji and the others handle the information blockade, and coordinate with Chou Niu to seal off all entry channels to the city. From now on, no one is allowed to enter Dawn City, only leave.
I want to make the people in Dawn City deaf and blind from this moment on."
Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Kun did not want to risk his life.
But if there was an opportunity to expand, he wouldn't let it go.
Ling Lifeng had used Yun Zhuo as a fuse to detonate Chen Kun. At first, he was worried that Yun Zhuo didn't have the capability, but now he had exceeded this goal, directly driving Chen Kun crazy.
When he learned that what Chen Kun brought out of the city this time was not five billion corrosion crystals, but fifty billion.
Ling Lifeng only then realized in hindsight that what he thought was a gluttonous feast had actually turned into half-cooked rice.
He had underestimated Chen Kun.
Chen Kun's usual behavior was simply too deceptive, too low-key, low-key to the point of near cowardice.
For instance, he actually let his own son attend a trash school like No. 8 Middle School.
Before today, Ling Lifeng and Qi Peng both thought that him sending Chen Bo from No. 3 Middle School to No. 8 Middle School was simply incredibly stupid.
To put it nicely, this was called sincerity, showing he had no ambition.
To put it harshly, how was this any different from that Old Buddha who, before negotiating with the foreign masters, dismantled her own artillery batteries to show her sincerity?
But who could have thought that all of this was fake.
Ten thousand trucks leaving the city would require at least ten thousand people, right?
Is it possible to bring ten thousand people to catch one Yun Zhuo?
He was coming for him, and while he wanted to devour him, he could just as easily play along to counter the scheme.
If he couldn't swallow him in one bite, then he would split it into two.
What made Ling Lifeng feel even more stupid was that he had actually broken himself into two bites for him to eat.
Now that he didn't want to be eaten by him, he had no choice but to fight him to the death.
But there was still the Qi Family; if he and Chen Kun ended up both suffering losses, they would reap the benefits as the fisherman.
To eliminate this worry, he had no choice but to call his older sister, who was also Teacher Su's mother and Yun Zhuo's Mother-in-law.
Dawn City was a subsidiary city of Tianting City, and Tianting City was the Su Family's city. The wife of the current third-in-command of the Su Family was his older sister.
As for whether that brat Yun Zhuo would die when his sister arrived?
He himself was almost dead now, so how could he have the energy to care about him.
Temple of the God of Wealth.
Wu Song stared at Yun Zhuo in the ruins, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Things had completely spiraled out of control by now.
He thought that after Yun Zhuo caught Scar Brother, he would take the initiative to contact him and ask for advice on how to handle such a situation.
As it turned out, that brat directly grabbed Scar Brother and fished Chen Bo out.
Killing, kidnapping, all done in one go.
When he saw Yun Zhuo send a multi-ton armored vehicle flying with one strike of his spear.
He discovered in astonishment that, with level ten strength, wanting to send such a huge thing flying, and being able to do it so smoothly, while still having the energy to capture hostages.
That brat's Six Harmonies Great Spear was definitely not as simple as Major Achievement.
When he crushed Li Wanqing's head with one foot, even Wu Song couldn't help but twitch his eyelid.
I only taught him that the human heart is unpredictable, but I didn't teach him to be ruthless.
Such a pretty girl, he killed her just like that, without even brewing any emotion. Is this really the student I taught?
And who was that group of mysterious people?
Wasn't that brat an orphan? When did he get in touch with those people, and how come I don't know?
What Wu Song couldn't figure out most was when he called Ren Honglin to report the situation here, which had far exceeded his control, and wanted to ask the principal to replace him.
Ren Honglin only said one sentence: "Protect Yun Zhuo well. If anything happens to him, I will hold you accountable."
He was now hiding in the ruins, not daring to move at all.
Because he discovered that the three surrounding sentry towers had already locked onto this place.
The people appearing in the vicinity were already no less than twenty or thirty waves, and although none had ventured deep inside, the total number added up to at least ten thousand.
Ten thousand people, what the hell are they trying to do?
Dealing with a beast tide?
Haven't heard of one.
How did things suddenly develop like this? A slaughter of ten thousand people, that was already a war.
You could even go to the underground world and attack the nests of the Mutated Beast.
Back when he served in the military, he had participated in battles of this scale.
But that was deep in the uninhabited wilderness or the underground world, not within the third sentry tower.
Something happened, something must have happened in the city.
He wanted to go online to check the situation in the city, but even though the sentry tower responsible for signal relay was right nearby, there wasn't a shred of signal on his wrist terminal.
"Stop guessing blindly here by yourself, go ask that brat." Ban Jinlian's voice rang in Wu Song's consciousness.
"Ask him?" Wu Song exclaimed: "It has clearly developed into a private feud between big shots in the city. He's just a student in school, what could he possibly know?
He's probably just being used as a pawn by someone else.
Besides, if we go find him now, we'll be exposed.
If someone wants to deal with him, they will send more powerful people, and we will be even more passive then."
"You mean, everything goes according to the original plan?"
"I..." Wu Song paused. He previously thought they were just dealing with Scar Brother, a few thugs he could crush with a flick of his hand.
Now, it's a battle involving at least ten thousand people.
Still stick to the plan?
Inside the collapsed building.
"Xiao Zhuo, there's a signal."
Teacher Su raised her wrist and pointed at the holographic screen on her wristband.
"Quickly ask Ling Lingwu if he's dead."
But at this moment, the wristband of Chen Bo, who was to the side, suddenly rang.
