#236 - Chapter 236: Zombie Disruption Interception Failed
They were only a few dozen people, while Zongzhengyue had brought tens of thousands, not even close in terms of numbers.
They were also clear that if Zongzhengyue insisted on entering Kyoto, they definitely couldn't stop him. The fact that they could still talk nicely was already giving him a great deal of face.
"Commander Zong, I'm sorry, but it's my duty, I can't let you pass!" the officer still refused to compromise.
"This matter is beyond your involvement. We are all soldiers of Hua Country, and I don't want us to fight each other. Step aside!" Zongzhengyue said.
The officer stood there, still unmoving.
"Arrange for a few people to keep an eye on them. We will continue to advance!" Commander Zong ordered, no longer wasting words with him.
The officer also knew that his side was too few in number, simply an螳臂当车 (idiom: like a mantis trying to stop a chariot). This was also good, saving himself from further difficulty. Commander Zong was right, when gods fight, small fry like them can't get involved. He simply decided to ignore it, let whatever happens happen.
At this time, Zongzhengyue, while leading his troops towards the city, also had a frown on his face.
Something about this whole situation felt off to him.
Why could the real Bai Liji control zombies?
The zombies just now were clearly cooperating with his actions.
This was very abnormal.
He had always believed that only people from the Red Coats could control zombies.
But now was not the time to ask questions, he could only ask after everything was over.
The imposter Bai Liji panicked a little when he learned that Zongzhengyue was still advancing. Now the zombies were very uncooperative, and trying to mobilize them to intercept Zongzhengyue was not feasible. He could only dispatch troops from the military region.
He couldn't care about so much right now, and quickly issued an order to the military region.
The military region was completely confused after receiving the order.
Wasn't it a good thing that the Southeast Military Region's troops were coming to assist in the defense? With their assistance, wouldn't the zombie riot be quelled quickly? Why were they now withdrawing defenses from various residential areas to intercept Zongzhengyue? This didn't make sense!
"Could this Zongzhengyue have some ulterior motives?" The senior officers of the Central Military Region all had such thoughts after receiving the order.
Once this thought arose, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
However, soldiers take obedience to orders as their primary duty. Thinking about these things now was useless, they should quickly dispatch troops.
Even dispatching people was not easy now, because the streets and alleys were full of zombies.
If someone observed carefully, they would find that the zombies basically did not intercept Zongzhengyue's troops. As soon as their troops approached, they immediately retreated. This resulted in their very fast advance.
On the other hand, the Central Military Region's side was in trouble.
Each squad was intercepted by layers of zombies, making it very difficult to withdraw.
This resulted in the Central Military Region headquarters' two consecutive interception orders failing to be executed.
"How is Zongzhengyue advancing so quickly? Don't the zombies attack them?" In the headquarters, an officer asked with confusion after seeing the intelligence.
His words stirred up a hornet's nest.
This confirmed it, this Zongzhengyue definitely had a problem, a big problem. It was possible that he was even colluding with the Red Coats.
What they didn't know was that the real situation was completely opposite to their guesses.
"So what do we do now? Our troops are being entangled by zombies and probably can't get away for a while," another officer asked.
"The situation is urgent. If I'm not mistaken, Zongzhengyue's target is the Parliament Building. Since the method of blocking the road is not working, we might as well directly order each squad to move closer to the Parliament Building and build fortifications around the building."
"I agree!"
"Agree!"
The order was issued.
After receiving the order, each squad rushed towards the parliament at all costs.
On the other side, Bai Liji's side also began to prepare for action.
"Speaker, it's time for us to appear," Ling Zhenhai reported.
"Okay, let's begin!" Bai Liji said.
He had experienced many big scenes, and this small battle could not see any inner waves at all.
After receiving the instructions, Ling Zhenhai notified Shen Wengang.
Shen Wengang took out the satellite phone and dialed.
"Report Commander, this is Tian Gang of the Dark Night Squad, I have a situation to report to you."
"Speak!"
"Our squad has discovered a suspected target in the North Second District. Do you want to arrest them?" Shen Wengang asked for instructions.
"Suspected target? Arrest them immediately!" The speaker replied excitedly.
"Yes!"
He still had a lot of confidence in the Dark Night Squad. This was built by him, all are mutants. The combat power is the absolute ceiling, first to deal with some ordinary people, simply easy.
Knowing that the Dark Night Squad had found the target, the fake speaker's heart finally let go.
No matter how fierce Zongzhengyue was, as long as that person was caught, the situation would be calmed down quickly.
02:25.
Shen Wengang called again.
"Report Commander, the suspected target has been captured. A total of 2 people. But… …"
"But what?" The imposter speaker was overjoyed to hear that they had been caught and hurriedly asked.
"It's just that this person's appearance… …" Shen Wengang pretended to be very embarrassed.
The imposter speaker understood that he saw Bai Liji's appearance and had doubts.
