#688 - Chapter 688 Calling by Name
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh————!!!”
A gust of wind and sand swept through the Yangcheng branch base, shattering its original tranquility, filling the air with blinding dust, forcing many to cover their mouths and noses.
In peaceful times, such disruption would have been met with angry outbursts.
But this was the apocalypse, and no one dared express the slightest dissatisfaction.
“The Green Source people are back!”
Someone spotted a logo on the approaching helicopter and whispered in a low voice.
Indeed.
It was the Green Source team returning from their hunting mission for rest and recuperation.
Among them was Zhong Yu, the leader of Green Source's combat unit, along with some of his team members.
Some team members were still driving back home.
Today, Team Leader Zhong had piloted the helicopter to hunt down two leaders of the former punitive expedition, and after completing the mission, he brought his team back to the Yangcheng branch base for rest and recuperation.
Unlike President Lu and President Lin, who had seen Green Source personnel frequently these past few days, this was the first time Qi Lili, Zhang Yunya, and the others had seen them.
A helicopter!
Even in peaceful times, few people had seen one up close, let alone in this apocalyptic era.
So these are the people from the Green Source base?
So impressive!
Rumor had it that everyone from this place was a god of death, their name synonymous with destruction.
One day they'd wipe out a refuge, the next they'd slaughter a base.
Or they would carry out heinous pursuit operations against those who disobeyed them.
If it weren't for their clever tactic of opening up material trading, which was impossible to refuse, most survivors would probably have labeled them as demons.
Now, they could only be considered ruthless people.
“You all must be careful not to speak out loud!! These are the people from Green Source! Offending them would cost you ten lives!!”
President Lu's face was devoid of his previous smugness, replaced by a solemnity and gravity he hadn't even shown when meeting President Lin.
As if he were facing a group of heavenly soldiers descending from the sky.
The helicopter landed.
Zhong Yu and his team, who had been out all day, dragged their tired bodies off the plane, ready to head to their residence here for rest, food, and relaxation.
“Xiao Hu, check the helicopter and refuel it tonight, we'll go home first thing in the morning!”
He shouted to Sun Xiaohu in the cockpit, and then stepped out of the helicopter.
Traveling at night was still a bit dangerous, not from ground attacks, because who in the entire Guangnan province would dare to provoke Green Source now?
It was practically nonexistent.
The main reason for not flying the helicopter at night was the difficulty in seeing the ground environment clearly and distinguishing specific locations, plus the team members had been tired these days, and they didn't mind staying another night at the Yangcheng branch base.
Besides, he also had to explain the future arrangements to those survivors who were cooperating in managing this base.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the residences of those collaborators, and sure enough, he saw a group of people standing there watching them.
It was basically like this every time.
These people seemed worried that the Green Source team would have something to ask of them upon their return, so they would always run outside to greet them.
Without any pretense.
Zhong Yu strode towards the collaborators, intending to give them a final briefing before leaving in the morning.
“The Green Source people are coming!!”
“Everyone stand up straight! Don't offend them later! ”
President Lin also lost the majesty he usually displayed in front of his subordinates, replacing it with a hint of flattery as he prepared to greet the approaching Green Source armed personnel!
He might be considered a big shot in the eyes of these survivors, with hundreds of men under his command and some weapons, but he still couldn't stand tall in the face of these truly fierce people!
To put it bluntly, even if the other party killed him on the spot, none of his men would dare to resist and avenge him...
...They wouldn't even dare to show an angry expression...
As the Green Source armed personnel approached, the dozens of people on President Lin's side actually felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, creating an extremely strange scene.
“Captain Zhong, well done! Thank you for clearing out those parasites and tumors for everyone recently! If there's anything we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask! We...”
President Lin saw Zhong Yu walking over with several team members and hurriedly greeted him.
Zhong Yu waved his hand, interrupting his attempt to continue flattering him.
“Our work is almost done, I'm here to give you a heads-up, come to my place tonight, I have something to arrange for you.”
His tone was very casual, as if he were talking to a subordinate.
His recent killing spree gave him a murderous aura, and no one, including President Lin, felt anything inappropriate about it.
“Okay...”
President Lin repeatedly agreed.
Behind the group of cooperating survivors, Qi Lili's legs went weak as she looked at the imposing Captain Zhong, and she almost melted into a puddle on the ground.
Who is this!?
He actually possesses such intense masculinity!!
Looking at the man in camouflage, covered in various weapons, and carrying the terrifying murderous aura of someone who had just returned from killing.
She looked at the Green Source captain, who was full of murderous spirit and instructing President Lin, with dazed eyes, feeling that all the men she had been with before were simply trash!
If she could have a good time with this kind of man, she would be willing to shorten her life by three years!
Whether it was the previously impressive President Lu or the higher-ranking President Lin, they were both scum compared to this younger man!
Not only her, but even several survivors who had just joined the Yangcheng branch base with her didn't dare to look directly at this big shot, only daring to steal glances at the meeting of the big shots over there.
Are these the Green Source team members who have subdued all the forces in Guangnan Province and kill people like flies?
They really live up to their reputation!
And Zhang Yunya and her aunt, who were standing in the back, were also watching the scene of the big shots meeting from afar.
Unlike the others, Zhang Yunya was also shocked at first, but soon her expression became suspicious.
That person?
Why does he look a little familiar?
Is the man talking to President Lin really someone I know?
That's impossible, right!?
She vaguely felt that the Green Source captain, who was so impressive, seemed very similar to a certain face from the past, but the scene at this time made her uncertain.
How could he have changed so much in just one year?
I must have seen the wrong person.
“Stop looking! Hurry up and come with me! Those big shots are not people you can look at directly! If you offend them, even I can't protect you!”
Just as Zhang Yunya was suspicious, President Lu's voice appeared in a timely manner, pulling her back to reality.
Looking at the fat-headed, big-eared man next to her, who was probably over forty years old and could be called middle-aged, urging her.
Thinking about how she was about to become his woman, an unbearable feeling of disgust welled up from the bottom of her heart again!
Can she really accept this fate!?
In an instant.
Zhang Yunya made a decision!
A decision that would affect her whole life!
