Chapter 799 - 796: Extinction Plan 1

Chapter 799: Chapter 796: Extinction Plan 1

Within the United District, an intense atmosphere of grim solemnity made people’s hearts tense up unconsciously. On the streets, survivors of old were no longer seen, and heads peeked out from the buildings on either side, watching the scene below.

From time to time, squads of soldiers armed with weapons passed by, exuding a fierce aura. It wasn’t long before the sound of gunfire erupted ahead, stirring up a commotion among survivors in the nearby buildings.

"They’re fighting! They’ve started fighting!"

"Hey, hey, the fighting has started over there!"

"Who do you think will win?"

"I don’t know. I heard this new guy... oh, not a guy, he’s called the Marshal. He has the Dead Knight Corps who ride undead beasts as mounts. This time, Xu Hui might be in a bit of trouble."

"Whatever it is, it’s none of our business. We just have to watch."

"..."

As the survivors discussed, a startling explosion rang out from the direction of the battlefield. Shortly after, people saw a ball of fire shooting into the sky, engulfing the surrounding buildings. At the same time, the battle cries of soldiers roared over everything!

Fight!

One after another, heavily equipped Grim Reaper tanks revved up to full power and charged forward. Their triple-barreled turrets continuously fired thick laser beams that smashed into the buildings ahead, reducing them to rubble. Fortunately, the survivors in this area had already known that war would break out here and had evacuated in advance.

"All units, combat teams, the rebels are right ahead! Attack on all fronts!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted as they quickly moved to the front lines. They donned their full-range combat helmets, and as the exoskeleton combat suits received the command, they folded and covered the soldiers.

With the exoskeleton combat suits successfully locked in place, the densely packed soldiers rushed forward with weapons in hand. In a moment, the battlefield swelled with laser particle beams crisscrossing erratically.

Meanwhile, at the former base for the Gao’er Control Gate Legion, a man with a troubled expression looked down from his vantage point, his gaze fixated on the battle below. He had not expected that the Marshal, who had only been in office for a few days, would be so impatient.

He raised his hand, holding another complaint letter in his hand. The letter demanded that he relinquish his powers within a day.

The origin of this complaint letter was obvious—coming from the Peace Party, it was from the Marshal’s power base!

And when the man received the demand, his response was as expected; without a need for guesses, he ignored the orders as if he hadn’t seen them.

With seven committee members dead, apart from the Jinhai Control Zone, which Tang Ye already controlled, and Liu Lancang, who had submitted to the Marshal, the remaining five leaders of the Central District Control Gates turned their armed forces into private militias, becoming underground power factions.

The power under each committee member was equivalent to that of a C Grade Survivor Base, while the Fuhui Control Point and Red City Control Gate were almost at the strength of a Grade B Survivor Base.

As the forces under the five committee members dispersed into underground factions, many unpredictable elements were represented.

In this apocalypse, it was impossible for someone to have survived until now without any ambition.

After all, brazenly turning the power of a committee into one’s own was outright opposition to the new Marshal!

These former leaders were no fools. They knew that the Marshal named Li Henian would definitely target them; it was only a question of who would be the first one to be sacrificed!

But then the question arises, when one of those high-ranking officials who, like himself, had turned their legions or past departments into underground forces is made an example by the Marshal, should he intervene to stop it?

This was a very difficult choice. To intervene meant that he could very well be the next one to be sacrificed; to do nothing and just watch would have equally serious consequences.

Of course, when the ABCDE group faced threats, and A was in trouble, E didn’t step forward; when B was in trouble, E still did nothing; C too chose to remain indifferent. Until the ones before had faced difficulties, leaving E to endure the imminent danger, and then there was still no one to come forward and prevent it.

Similarly, the villain attacking the five individuals also had to consider whether their actions would provoke strong resistance from the group.

A single misstep could lead to ruinous loss.

The former committee members, who sought to continue wielding their power, were also watching the Marshal’s attitude. Most believed that with so many people involved, the Marshal would not act against them for the time being, as dealing with so many forces would be a major hassle.

Even if there was some movement, it was thought to be just a warning. Therefore, the man chose to ignore the subpoena from the Peace Party, but he never imagined that the Peace Party would take such resolute action!

Relying on his own strength, he simply couldn’t withstand the attack from Marshal Li Henian. Now, he could only hope that others would come to his aid in time!

"Damn it!"

The man cursed loudly, summoning two soldiers and whispering something to them. The two soldiers swiftly rushed out, and upon their return, they brought back some very bad news.

"What did they say?"

"They said they want to wait and see. Chief, I think we should surrender quickly. If we keep this up, even if the people behind us change their minds, we’ll still be the sacrificial lambs!"

"Surrender my ass!"

Hearing the soldier’s words, Xu Hui’s face became even darker. He cursed angrily and swept all the papers and porcelain objects on the table onto the floor, causing them to shatter with a crash.

Seeming not yet appeased, Xu Hui coldly looked at the two soldiers.

"You two can’t even handle this properly. The battle has just begun, and you want to run away to save your own skins? Useless!"

With that, he reached out swiftly. The two soldiers didn’t even have time to react before each was seized by the throat. Against a Level 4 New Human, these two mere Level 1 New Humans had no chance to activate their exoskeleton armors. With a "snap," two more bodies lay on the ground.

"Someone come!"

After killing the two, Xu Hui called out again, and soon two more soldiers entered. They saw the bodies on the ground, their faces changed, but they dared not utter a word.

"Clean up these bodies."

"Yes!"

The two soldiers complied tremblingly, quickly removing the bodies from the ground, then left like they were fleeing, leaving Xu Hui alone to observe the battlefield below.

The Gao’er Control Gate within the United District was not a match for the Fuhui Control Point at its peak, possessing only half the strength, and now it was even more fragmented. As a deputy regimental commander, Xu Hui had a mere three thousand soldiers at his disposal. How could he possibly resist the Peace Party soldiers that were a merger of Jinhai and Fuhui?

The hundreds of heavy Death Knight tanks continued to bombard, as Xu Hui’s numerous soldiers under the dense fire network were covered, one after another falling in death!
