#428 - Chapter 428 Attack on Ludong Settlement Center
Just as resettlement areas across the country were vigorously developing infrastructure, a small incident occurred in Luzhou City.
"Mr. Dongfang, something seems amiss at the Chaohu Resettlement Area in Luzhou City," Niu Xingwang reported.
"Chaohu Resettlement Area?" Dongfang Chen pulled up the data to take a look.
The various indicators seemed balanced, and he didn't find any major problems.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"They want to purchase a large quantity of weapons and equipment, mainly combat suits and laser guns," Niu Xingwang replied.
"How many?"
"100,000 of each!" Niu Xingwang replied.
"Stabilize the situation first, I'll give you a reply later," Dongfang Chen said, hanging up the phone.
He knew that Ji Hongfei was in Chaohu, so he could clarify the matter by asking him.
"Brother Ji, what's happening in Chaohu? Huatong Chamber of Commerce reported that you want to purchase 100,000 sets of weapons and equipment," Dongfang Chen got straight to the point.
"Commander, a former apprentice of mine named Liu Zhenping is planning to attack other resettlement areas," Ji Hongfei replied.
"Liu Zhenping?" Dongfang Chen sounded somewhat familiar.
"Yes. He was a trainee in our base's last training session," Ji Hongfei replied.
"Oh, I remember him. What's he like?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Besides being stubborn, he's alright," Ji Hongfei replied.
"Hmm. What do you think about this matter?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Personal grudges, some management arbitrarily act recklessly, incurring public anger," Ji Hongfei didn't express his opinion, but simply introduced the situation.
"Alright. I understand," Dongfang Chen said, hanging up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, he contacted Niu Xingwang again.
"Ship the goods that need to be shipped. The internal affairs of the resettlement area have nothing to do with us," Dongfang Chen stated his position.
"Okay!" Niu Xingwang replied.
At that time, Dongfang Chen allowed some trainees who were unwilling to serve the base to voluntarily return to their hometowns, and this was one of the considerations.
In the apocalypse, laws are ineffective, and government orders are not followed.
The power of those in authority loses its constraints, which provides a very good breeding ground for darkness.
But he is not a savior, he cannot right every wrong, nor can he restore a clear and bright world on behalf of the authorities.
Therefore, this world needs catfish to warn everyone to act with caution.
These mutants who returned to their hometowns after completing their training are catfish.
Their existence lets those in power know that there is a pair of terrifying eyes in the dark.
… …
"Brothers, I have good news for everyone! Our purchase application has been approved by the Huatong Chamber of Commerce!" Liu Zhenping shouted from the high platform.
He is now the actual controller of the Chaohu Resettlement Area, but he hardly interacts with other resettlement areas.
Because those responsible know that he is an ordinary person who seized the resettlement area through a coup, so they keep him at arm's length.
However, in the past six months, the development here has been very rapid.
Many people come to join him in groups.
Secretly, everyone is spreading the word that the Chaohu Resettlement Area is the people's own resettlement area.
I don't know who said this, but everyone is willing to believe it.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" Hearing this news, everyone shouted excitedly.
July 3, 2056 AD.
Liu Zhenping led an armed force of 130,000 men and women to attack the Ludong Resettlement Area of Luzhou City.
This is the closest resettlement area to Chaohu.
In order to expand his influence, Liu Zhenping gave his troops a designation, named the Zhenping Army, claiming to have a strength of 200,000.
Wei Yangwen, the person in charge of the Ludong Resettlement Area, upon hearing that Liu Zhenping was attacking, quickly asked Wang Lexin, the mayor of Luzhou City, for assistance.
Wang Lexin was very shocked when he heard the news.
His first reaction was to ask the Southeast Military Region for assistance.
Zongzhen Yue replied after receiving the message: Solve it yourself.
He had expected this result.
Since the military region doesn't care, then he has nothing to worry about.
So, he quickly contacted the Ludong Resettlement Area, asking them to join him in aiding Luxi.
The Changfeng Resettlement Area and the Luxi Resettlement Area managed by Wang Lexin are both nearly 40 kilometers away from Ludong. They contacted the branch of the Chamber of Commerce in their respective resettlement areas, hoping to get help in transporting soldiers.
But the Chamber of Commerce refused.
The reason given was that the Chamber of Commerce's aircraft are freighters, not passenger planes, and can only transport goods, not provide personnel transportation services.
Wang Lexin had no choice but to go on foot.
To be on the safe side, he also urgently transferred the fully automatic fishing aircraft to Ludong, hoping to provide some air support.
Ludong Resettlement Area.
Liu Zhenping is a mutant, and it is impossible for a city gate to stop him.
Although nearly two thousand city defense troops have gathered on the city wall, all equipped with combat suits and laser guns. But after all, they are ordinary people, and their reaction speed is simply not good enough.
Liu Zhenping came to the city gate in a flash.
The soldiers on the city wall cannot see from this angle.
With two punches, the city gate was smashed to pieces.
Many soldiers also gathered inside the gate, Liu Zhenping repeatedly moved in the crowd, and the scene was immediately in chaos.
Seeing that the city gate had been broken, Liu Zhenping's men in the distance ordered the charge to be sounded.
Hundreds of thousands of people rushed towards the city in a swarm.
The city defense troops on the city wall were frightened.
They had never killed anyone, and they didn't dare to shoot.
