Chapter 1240: Chapter 1235: Really Unexpected

"Stop bustling around; the headquarters just issued an order urging us to leave the United District immediately!"

In the Central United District, a soldier shouted towards his comrades, who were busy moving supplies below. Hearing this, the soldiers below hurriedly sprang into action. Witnessing the high-rise buildings collapsing like dominoes in the distance, a thought flashed through their minds,

The United District is finished!

"Don’t just stand there! Move it!" Seeing the soldiers stunned, the shouting soldier yelled again, prompting them to snap back to reality and start calling others to leave together!

"All soldiers of the Eighth Army Corps, assemble at maximum speed, follow the person in front, and head to the Kunhong District!"

The confused Eighth Army Corps soldiers were being directed by the supervising troops towards the Kunhong District. Two Level 8 Powerhouses were fighting on the other side of the United District, and the destruction they caused nearly covered the entire area—even Longyang City hadn’t been spared. In the United District, only the Kunhong District was relatively safe, escaping through that area would minimize the losses!

All soldiers of the Eighth Corps began following the well-armed soldier leading them out of the area, but many among them had strange looks in their eyes.

Everyone present, the soldiers of the Peace Party, were trained and exhibited better organization than civilians. They quickly gathered together and orderly retreated towards the direction of the Kunhong District.

The soldiers of the Eighth Corps were quicker and easier to organize than the mass of civilians. The retreat was faster than the speed of the troops leading them, and soon two-thirds of the Eighth Corps’ soldiers had sprinted to the front.

However, right then, Ke Shuanghong, running at the front, suddenly shouted, "Brothers of the Eighth Corps, take action now!"

His shout confused the others, and before the other Peace Party soldiers could react, they suddenly found themselves disarmed—weapons snatched by the soldiers of the Eighth Corps next to them!

"What are you doing?"

The supervising troops couldn’t grasp what was happening as all of the Eighth Army Corps soldiers suddenly rebelled. After a moment, the supervising soldiers came to their senses, only to find the situation unbelievable.

"You... you want to revolt!"

Now, the actions of the Eighth Corps explained everything, but why?

Most of the Eighth Corps soldiers took the weapons from the supervising troops and opened fire without hesitation, immediately plunging the scene into chaos. Many of the Eighth Corps did not understand why their comrades were doing this and just stared blankly.

"What are you doing?" A confused soldier of the Eighth Corps asked a comrade, but right after he finished speaking, a laser beam penetrated his body. His expression in that instant was one of disbelief. He looked at the laser-burnt wound on his chest, then at his comrades from the Eighth Corps beginning the slaughter of the supervising troops, and collapsed to the ground full of questions.

Before dying, he saw many of his fellow Eighth Corps soldiers also killed by their former comrades.

"Why is this happening?"

The riot continued, and the supervising troops were caught off guard and killed by the rebelling soldiers of the Eighth Corps.

Ke Shuanghong seized a laser weapon from a nearby officer, didn’t even engage the safety, and smashed it heavily on the officer’s face, giving no time to react. He stomped on the hand that was trying to draw a knife, pulled out the H steel knife from the officer’s waist, and fiercely chopped at his neck as the officer was activating the exoskeleton suit!

With the bright red blood splashing like ink, Ke Shuanghong’s face was smeared with blood. Then, raising the war knife in both hands, he roared, "Brothers, General Ruan took risks with his life to avenge our fallen brothers for us. Over the years, you’ve all seen how General Ruan has cared for us!"

"We have shared meat and wine with General Ruan, faced hardships together! At Gujin Base, for our sake, General Ruan personally fought Xu Tianyu, stepped into death’s door several times. Even in the Peace Party, he has never backed down for us, and you should have all witnessed this!"

"Now, General Ruan has once again entered the Prison, but the iron law of the Peace Party persists. Even though the headquarters hasn’t killed General Ruan, the Marshal has never truly spared our General Ruan, sending a zombie to assassinate him in secret. Now, the choice before us is clear, and I believe those who stand with us share the same thoughts!"

"Unfortunately, we will be seen as a thorn in the vast Peace Party’s side, and they will not let us go, but our resolve is determined! The world is vast, where can’t a man make his stand? As long as we, and Colonel Ruan, are here, we remain the Eighth Corps we once were!"

"Swear to die! Follow General Ruan!"

Despite losing many under the supervising troops’ counterattack, the rebelling Eighth Corps soldiers outnumbered them, and soon, all supervising troops had been overrun. Watching Ke Shuanghong, hesitantly at first, they still shouted, "Swear to die, following General Ruan!"

Tens of thousands of voices soared to the skies, and Ke Shuanghong, looking at the scene before him, let a smile spread across his face. With so many people, they could raise a formidable force anywhere, though not as massive as the Peace Party, but still a top-tier force in a post-apocalyptic world!

After his speech ended, Ke Shuanghong was about to lead this large force to the rendezvous point designated by Ruan Chao’en, but before he could finish, an odd voice emerged at the scene.

"Quite the surprise, had I not been here, I wouldn’t have known that a corps of the Peace Party had already revolted."

"Who?" Ke Shuanghong’s pupils constricted. That voice sounded so familiar, but he dared not confirm it; he just asked while inwardly praying that it wasn’t that person!

Slowly turning around, it indeed was the person he had feared—Bai Huipeng!

This person had evolved to a Level 7 New Human just a few days ago, immensely more powerful than before, and Ke Shuanghong, a Level 5 New Human, was nothing but an ant in his grasp!

"It’s General Bai!"

For a moment, the entire Eighth Corps recoiled several steps backward, spectacularly intimidated by just one man. Nearly thirty thousand people were scared to that extent!

At that moment, the ground, under the aftershocks of the fierce battles happening nearby, cracked and fissured. As so many took steps back together, one particular fissure suddenly widened into a chasm seven to eight meters across, instantly swallowing many lives!
