“Brother Zhao, the gathering place you mentioned early was build by a woman?!”
“Yes!”
“She’s a leader. At the same time, she was a strong woman with superhuman ability.”
Meng Meng had never imagined that in this post-apocalyptic world, a woman could still be in power.
In the underground shelter, no matter how the situation changed, it always went from one man in charge to another man in charge.
Zhao Yu only briefly mentioned it without delving into the details, after all, he didn’t want to see Meng Xian again.
She mentioned if she saw him again, she would kill him.
Zhao Yu returned to the base after three hours.
“Why is it so quiet?!”
When Zhao Yu realized something was wrong, a group of people suddenly emerged from all directions, surrounding them.
“Don’t move!”
“Put your hands up!”
Over thirty individuals, dressed differently and armed with guns, surrounded Zhao Yu and his group.
Zhao Yu’s army unwilling to be outdone, raised their rifles in response.
Zhao Yu hadn’t expected his home base to be raided!
The situation was even more worst as his soldiers were out of ammunition.
Fortunately, the situation is still under control as the opponent cease their fire to avoid fighting fiercely.
It seemed to be people under Meng Xian.
“Cease Fire!”
A woman’s voice rang out from the crowd. The group then made way for Meng Xian to come forward.
It was her indeed!
“Who’s the commander?!” Meng Xian surveyed the team and asked, noticing several corpses they dragged along and one strangely was a monster. She wondered where these people had been late at night.
“Meng Xian, we meet again!”
Zhao Yu tapped the soldier blocking his path and stepped out of the ranks.
“It’s you?!”
Meng Xian was not expecting to encounter Zhao Yu here.
“How did you become a soldier?”
Zhao Yu patted the centurion rank on his shoulder and smiled lightly, “Did you forget that 1 was a billionaire before the apocalypse?”
“I have a brother who’s doing pretty well. 1 joined him, and he promoted me as a centurion…”
At this…
They found it surprise that Zhao Yu had been a centurion through connections.
However, most were curious about how Zhao Yu knew Meng Xian.
Meng Xian had previously said she would kill Zhao Yu if she saw him again, but now, given his status, she couldn’t act rashly.
“What’s your purpose here?!”
“I should be asking you that. You break into our military base and surround us. What’s your intention?”
He looked around and asked, “Where are the eight brothers 1 left in the base? Did you kill them?”
At this moment, any misstep could be fatal. Though Zhao Yu felt anxious inside, he didn’t show it.
“Bring them over!”
Meng Xian waved her hand and eight soldiers were brought forward.
With his eight men were alive, Zhao Yu let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed the opposition hadn’t acted recklessly without confirming their ident.i.ties.
This meant he needed to act up to keep Meng Xian and her group at bay.
“You should be glad you didn’t kill them!” Zhao Yu sneered, looking at Meng Xian as if she were already dead.
“What the h.e.l.l did you just say?!”
“Do you want me to shoot you down?”
Several of her men couldn’t take it and raised their guns, eager to act against Zhao Yu.
Meng Xian quickly stopped them, “What are you doing? Am I dead? Do you need to act on my behalf?!”
Xiao Liu immediately backed down, not daring to say more.
“What did you mean by what you just said?” Meng Xian questioned Zhao Yu.
“Just what 1 said.” Zhao Yu replied her.
Zhao Yu responded calmly, though his mind raced, thinking of a powerful faction he could pretend to be aligned with.
If Meng Xian and her group knew he was independent, they’d likely kill him without hesitation.
Especially now when theirs’ guns were empty, leaving them with no chance to defend themselves.
“Are you with Black Rock City?” Meng Xian probed cautiously.
“Heh!”
Zhao Yu smirked, “Do you think a mere Black Rock City can contain me?”
He knew better than to claim allegiance to Black Rock City; he wasn’t even sure if it existed since he’d never seen it.
Meng Xian would also surely know more about it than him. If she found out he was bluffing, they’d be done for.
Similarly, the Reed Group sounded powerful.
Yet, Meng Xian had meet with them before, so Zhao Yu couldn’t bluff about that either.
So, he thought of the organization he’d previously encountered at the chemical plant.
“Who do you serve now?” Meng Xian asked.
During the time waiting for Zhao Yu and his team to return, they had discussed how to deal with various potential factions.
“Re Zhao Corporation. Ever heard of it?”
“Re Zhao?!”
Meng Xian paused for a moment, seemingly contemplating information about the corporation..
