Chapter 825: Chapter 822 Things Go Against Wishes

"Hatred?"

The soldiers who had just been talking about surrendering to the Peace Party suddenly shivered. Hatred had killed Xu Hui and his family; his notoriety had spread throughout the entire United District and was synonymous with ruthlessness!

Xu Hui was dead, and his wife and four children were just ordinary people. To kill his entire family under such circumstances showed what kind of person Hatred was.

If even Xu Hui’s family had met with such fate, how could these rebel soldiers survive in Hatred’s hands?

Perhaps the Peace Party really wouldn’t do anything excessive to those who surrendered, but once Hatred took control, they dared not joke with their own lives.

"This... Alright, let’s just hang around here for now," one suggested.

"But this can’t go on forever!" another protested.

"Then what do you propose we do, go get ourselves killed? If you want to go, then go, but don’t drag everyone else down with you," someone retorted.

After a few moments of argument, they fell silent again. However, suddenly, from a nearby leaning building that had a loudspeaker, an odd "zzz" static noise began to emit.

Similar sounds were coming out from loudspeakers and broadcasters in other locations at the same time.

This anomaly immediately caught the attention of the soldiers and they all turned to look.

"What’s going on? Has someone taken over the broadcast?" one wondered aloud.

"What’s this all about, you scared the crap out of me!" complained another.

The soldiers grumbled in dissatisfaction, but before they could finish their griping, a chilly male voice resounded through all the broadcasting equipment in Yulin Trade District simultaneously.

Speaking in a very eerie manner, the voice slowly stated:

"Hello everyone, my name is Hatred, from the Peace Party, currently serving as General Shang of the Peace Party, in charge of suppressing all rebel forces. Now, all residents of Yulin District, please pay attention and not forget every word I am about to say."

"During the mission, due to the cunning of the Yesteryear Association based in the Yulin Trade District, disguising themselves as survivors and launching vicious attacks on us, the senior leadership has unanimously decided to carry out indiscriminate bombings on the entire Yulin Trade District until every member of the Yesteryear Association is killed."

"What? Bomb the Yulin Trade District? Has Hatred lost his mind?" someone shouted in disbelief.

"It’s Hatred! Yes, that name! There’s nothing that guy can’t do; there aren’t any good people in the Peace Party!"

"It’s really Hatred! If he says he’ll bomb Yulin District, he means it."

"Ma De, are they insane? They’d give up on Yulin District just like that?"

"Screw the Peace Party!"

"To hell with peace!"

As soon as the people in Yulin District heard what Hatred said, they were all shocked by the implications, and curses began to fly. If they really bombed Yulin District, what would happen to them—the innocent survivors?

However, those most worried were the underground forces that had been neutrally observing the whole time. They had only wanted to watch the big fight between the Peace Party and the Yesteryear Association while snacking on popcorn. Little did they know that things would escalate to this point.

If the Peace Party went ahead with the indiscriminate bombing of Yulin Trade District, these underground forces would no longer exist.

The onlooking survivors and members of various underground forces were starting to panic, feeling that the buildings they were hiding in weren’t so safe after all.

But Hatred hadn’t finished speaking. He paused for a moment, sparking wild thoughts among the listeners.

"In half an hour, the Peace Party will commence the bombing operation. In this time frame, please evacuate. All soldiers of the Peace Party have already retreated to the outskirts of Yulin District, so there will be no accidents. Therefore, during this half an hour, anyone who still lingers in Yulin Trade District should evacuate quickly. If after half an hour someone has not evacuated in time, they will bear the consequences. Hehehe~"

At the end, Hatred let out a chilling, eerie laugh.

After the broadcast ended, the survivors hiding within the buildings of Yulin Trade District ran out like mad, rushing towards the outskirts of Yulin District. Even the Yesteryear Association soldiers disguised among them, though they wanted to stop the civilians, dared not step forward at such a moment, as they would only end up being beaten to death by the crowd. They could only helplessly either escape along with the other survivors.

"What do we do? The Peace Party is going to bomb Yulin District," someone asked anxiously.

"What can we do but leave? You want to stay here and die?" another replied.

"But what if the Peace Party recognizes us? Wouldn’t it be even worse to die that way?" a third one worried.

"Shut your beak. We aren’t any special figures. How many people are going to notice us? Besides, there are so many of us, the Peace Party can’t possibly recognize everyone, right?"

"That’s true. Let’s go then," they agreed.

A few Yesteryear Association soldiers huddled in the rubble nodded, grabbed their weapons, and cautiously walked out, appearing like true survivors.

However, right next door to Yulin Trade District, beneath the Mercenary Guild Building, in a dimly lit compartment, a man wearing a mask silently listened to the end of the broadcast.

As soon as Hatred’s voice vanished, there was a "crack" as the cup in the man’s hand shattered.

"Very good, Hatred. You really are too arrogant. You killed the old butler, so it seems you must have found that letter. Did you see it? Having seen it, why would you still act this way?"

"Do you want to see how much the Peace Party will pay for this? Very well, I’ll let you all in the Peace Party feel what it’s like to be targeted!"

The man emitted a nearly distorted laugh, utterly certain that Hatred had seen that letter since the old man had never betrayed him. He was well aware of the butler’s loyalty to the Lu family.

The old butler had not betrayed him; that’s why he had used him as bait. It was precisely because of the butler’s absolute loyalty to the Lu family that he chose to sacrifice the old butler who had served the Lu family for many years. No one else could maintain loyalty in the face of death as he did.

It was also because the butler had not betrayed him that Hatred saw the piece of paper and its contents.

Everything Lu Jiachang did was meant to ensure that his loss wouldn’t be too humiliating, retaining at least some of the Lu family’s power.

He had written those threatening words on the paper not because he was completely unafraid of the Peace Party, but he was gambling! He was betting whether the Peace Party would be deterred by his few lines of text.

In this post-apocalyptic world, showing weakness only invites even more vicious beatings—he wasn’t that stupid. But now, it was clear he had lost the bet. Instead of reacting as he had hoped, his words had enraged the Peace Party. It seemed they were determined to exterminate the Yesteryear Association once and for all.
