Chapter 824: Chapter 821 "Leaving a Whole Corpse is a Blessing Earned from Previous Lifetimes

And now, the Chairman of the Yesteryear Association had already boarded the helicopter and left, while Dai Changhao, as the commander of the Yulin War Zone, was completely uninformed. He had been awake for so long and yet no one had reported to him?

"Let’s go, let’s go out and ask!"

Dai Changhao hurriedly said, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes. His people had really been careless this time. The Chairman of the Yesteryear Association had escaped by helicopter, and it was unclear whether they had failed to discover it or simply hadn’t reported it to him.

Either was unforgivable.

As he spoke, Dai Changhao left the command post with Hatred and approached the unit responsible for air combat, beginning to inquire.

"What? A helicopter took off from the Yulin Trade District? We... aren’t too sure about that, several have already flown by before."

"Report, we haven’t spotted any helicopters taking off in the Yulin District."

"I came over two hours ago, and none of the helicopters that have passed since then were from the Yesteryear Association."

"Just now, we were entangled by a high-level New Human and didn’t pay attention."

"..."

"Report, we did shoot down a helicopter during the time frame you mentioned. Is that the one you’re referring to?"

After asking for a long time, Hatred and Dai Changhao finally found a clue among a group of soldiers.

However, upon hearing the response, Hatred seemed a bit surprised, while Dai Changhao was hopping mad.

"Damn it, why didn’t you report to me?" Although he said this, he also let out a sigh of relief. If the helicopter mentioned by Hatred had already been shot down, then there was no issue.

But being shouted at and pointed at by Dai Changhao, the soldiers appeared very wronged.

"Report, although... we didn’t find any suspicious individuals in the downed helicopter. Was it... a case of mistakenly killing some other force’s helicopter?"

"Just because..."

Dai Changhao wanted to say more, but Hatred interrupted, "Where is the helicopter that you shot down?"

"It has already been dealt with; the bodies are at the corpse collection point."

"Is this person among them?" This time, Dai Changhao opened his phone, pulled up a photo, where a man in his thirties was sitting on a sofa, seemingly chatting with someone. His face was directly in front of the camera, so his appearance was clearly captured.

This man was the Chairman of the Yesteryear Association—Lu Jiachang!

The soldiers scrutinized the photo carefully. After glancing at each other, they all shook their heads.

"We’ve checked, this person was not among them."

"Take me to see!" Hatred said, and the soldiers, having no objections, hurriedly led the two towards a certain direction.

Arriving at the pile where the corpses of the rebel soldiers were stacked, these soldiers didn’t mind the filth and began searching the bodies by hand. Soon, they pulled out the corpses with tags labeled Y000436, 439, 442, 443, 445, and so forth.

"It was these five people." The soldiers pointed at the bodies. They had seen helicopters taking off from the Yulin District, and almost instinctively began firing. Unexpectedly, although they brought one down, it seemed that the people inside were not from the rebel forces, but members of an underground force who lost their lives simply for taking off recklessly.

Hatred crouched down and thoroughly examined each corpse’s face, then finally looked at Dai Changhao and shook his head.

"Lu Jiachang’s body isn’t among them."

"No?"

Ma De confirmed once more, looking towards that group of soldiers, he asked, "Are you sure it was the time General Shang mentioned?"

"It was twenty-five minutes ago, no mistake, flew out from Yulin District."

"Which direction?" Hatred asked.

A few soldiers pondered for a moment, then pointed towards a location: "It should be over there, we don’t know the exact spot, but the approximate location is that."

Hatred looked towards the direction they were pointing to, indeed, it was in the direction of that residential building. But why, why was there no corpse of Lu Jiachang inside? Could it be the old man had tricked him?

Lu Jiachang hadn’t left at all, had he actually been there the whole time?

Hatred shook his head, that was impossible. At that time, there was only him and the old man left in the residential building. If there had been a third person present, he would have definitely sensed them. The perception abilities of a Level 6 Rester were not for show!

"Without Lu Jiachang’s corpse, where could he be?"

In his mind, Hatred thought, his gaze drifting towards the distant sky, pondering something unknown.

More than twenty minutes passed, and all the Peace Party soldiers fighting in Yulin District had withdrawn. At the same time, Peace Party soldiers from other war zones were also heading this way after their battles had ended. Now, among these insurrection forces, only the Yesteryear Association was the most troublesome one.

Peace Party soldiers clad in exoskeleton armor and those Death Knights riding ferocious zombie beasts surrounded the entire Yulin Trade District. Unbeknownst to all, the sound of gunfire and artillery from within grew sparser and sparser.

As more Peace Party soldiers withdrew, those disguised as survivors among the Yesteryear Association soldiers also started to sense something was amiss.

"What’s happening? Can’t find any Peace Party people?"

"Have they retreated?"

"That’s not possible, is it?"

"Hey, Old Pig, what’s your brother saying now?"

In the corner of a pile of ruins, a group of survivors were squatting under a wall, murmuring amongst themselves. One of the soldiers turned to a skinny man who was typing on a phone.

The man looked up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said, "My brother’s Qinglong Gang has been wiped out. Looks like the Dead Knight Corps of the Peace Party are now heading our way."

"Dead Knight Corps? Damn, how do we fight that?"

"Right, all we have are some pre-Apocalypse weapons on us; can those even harm those zombie beasts?"

"Don’t know, I’m out of ideas. They’ve already captured my brother and thrown him in the back of a van. He’s lucky if he’s still alive."

"Damn it, no idea where the boss is right now. How long will this go on? I’m the only son in my family. My parents are gone, and my hometown needs me to carry on the family line!"

"Might as well surrender. The Peace Party is vicious, but it seems like they don’t kill those who surrender, and they have good food, too. Old Li and I just went to check, and damn, they even have canned pork, unlike here where we make do with a few nutrient sticks."

Someone grumbled discontentedly, inhaling and exhaling smoke with each word. As soon as he finished speaking, a Level 3 New Human soldier nearby let out a cold laugh and said, "Just got word; our fake headquarters got hit. How many traps did the boss set up there? And someone actually got through all of them, do you know who it was?"

"Who?"

"This guy called Hatred, who else could it be? Turns out he’s a Level 6 New Human, that guy is ruthlessly efficient. Now that it’s over, I fear the command of the Peace Party soldiers here in Yulin has already fallen to Hatred. Surrendering now, with that guy’s ruthlessness, if he leaves you a whole corpse, you should consider it a blessing from your past life!"
