Chapter 281 - 270: The Apocalypse’s Public Security Brigade

Chapter 281: Chapter 270: The Apocalypse’s Public Security Brigade

"Captain Zhang, I’m over here! Quick, save me!!!"

As Zhao Dong’s voice rang out, Mengde, who had been flirting with Gao Lan and the others, turned his gaze outside the base.

He saw a group of people in standard Public Security Bureau uniforms walking toward them step by step.

There were about a hundred of them.

Roughly the same number as Mengde’s group.

But on their chests, they wore pendants bearing the emblem of a military organization.

This was enough to prove their background was extraordinary.

Especially when he saw that each person was holding an All Living Beings Equalizer.

This truly took Mengde by surprise.

Because the All Living Beings Equalizers in their hands weren’t just ordinary pistols.

They were all submachine guns!!!

These were weapons with immense destructive power!!!

They could even pose a threat to Seventh and Eighth Tier Superpower Users like Lei Qiang and Brother Jingfu.

This would have been virtually impossible in the peaceful era before the apocalypse, when Hua Country banned firearms!

But now, they were right here in front of him, out in the open...

’I can’t underestimate them!’

Mengde appeared unfazed, but inwardly, he had already become cautious.

He had a faint idea of where this group came from!

Just then, Gao Qiang and his men, who had finished taking over the entire Hengsheng Base, also noticed the scene.

Brother Jingfu and the others didn’t have much of a reaction.

But when Gao Qiang saw the man in the lead, his expression turned grim.

Mengde was a little curious.

"Brother Qiang, you know him?"

Gao Qiang nodded.

"They’re from the East Sea City Public Security Bureau!"

"The one in charge is one of the four captains from the Public Security Bureau who oversee the four districts of East Sea City—south, east, north, and west."

"He used to be in charge of our South District. His name is Zhang Zheng!"

Mengde wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, he knew his brother-in-law had been in the criminal underworld before the apocalypse.

He had probably had his fair share of dealings with the Public Security Bureau.

And as a gang boss who often walked the line of the law, he would definitely have to know the captain in charge of his territory.

Otherwise, if he got arrested, he wouldn’t know who to call to get bailed out.

This was something any big shot in the underworld should know.

Mengde figured there had probably been more than a few exchanges of power for sexual favors between his brother-in-law and this Zhang Zheng...

However, looking at his brother-in-law’s expression, Mengde could tell there was more to the story!

"The ones who helped Hengsheng Base besiege our Gao’s Base were Zhang Zheng and his men."

’Oh, so that’s what happened!’

No wonder Gao Qiang’s grim face was laced with a hint of pain and hatred.

’The true culprit behind the fall of Gao’s Base has been found!’

’It makes sense, now that I think about it. A group of Superpower Users with no guns being ambushed by a group armed with submachine guns...’

’How could they possibly have escaped!’

"Brother Mengde, I have to ask you for a favor."

Mengde had already guessed what Gao Qiang was about to say.

He nodded immediately, patting his brother-in-law on the shoulder and assuring him.

"Don’t worry. Since these people killed our brothers, there’s no way I’m letting them go."

He hadn’t forgotten that just a few days ago, it wasn’t just the people of Gao’s Base who were nearly wiped out; some of his own subordinates from Yulong Base had also died at the hands of this man named Zhang Zheng.

’For that reason alone, I can’t let these people go!’

At this moment, seeing Zhang Zheng and his men approach, Zhao Dong instantly got cocky again.

"Hmph! Y-You’re all finished!"

"Captain Zhang and his men are here!"

"You’re all going to die, hahaha!!!"

Mengde couldn’t stand the sound of this guy’s incessant shouting and immediately stomped his foot down.

That shut him up for good.

He wasn’t dead yet, but he wasn’t far from it.

And he let out an unconscious, blood-curdling scream.

"AHHH!!!"

The sudden sound instantly caught the attention of Zhang Zheng and his group.

"Zhao Dong?"

"How did you end up in this pathetic state?"

Having just gotten out of their vehicles, Zhang Zheng’s group was surprised and confused to hear the scream.

They were originally under orders from the Public Security Bureau Chief to come to the Dongcheng District and arrest someone.

They were just passing by and decided to take a look.

They didn’t expect to see a scene like this.

However, the two parties had just cooperated a few days ago.

So there was still some camaraderie from their partnership.

Most importantly, just a couple of days ago, Zhao Dong had given him and his brothers plenty of "special treatment"!

’Thinking about those women... I can still savor the memory...’

’Especially since the woman I had fun with was supposedly his wife...’

Zhang Zheng had a very favorable impression of such a sensible person.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given Zhao Dong a few of the Public Security Bureau’s standard-issue guns.

"Cap... Captain Zhang, save me..."

After Mengde’s stomp, Zhao Dong was on his last breath.

He didn’t have much longer to live.

Zhang Zheng could naturally see this, and he was furious.

He immediately turned his gaze to Gao Qiang and his brother.

Of all the people present, he only recognized the two of them.

Speaking of which, the two sides had cooperated quite a bit in the past.

It was just a shame that a few days ago, this guy had dared to disobey his orders.

He had ordered a stop to the fighting, but not only did the guy ignore him, he even dared to keep attacking.

’Then he couldn’t blame me for being ruthless!’

’The authority of the Public Security Bureau cannot be violated!!!’

So, he had helped Hengsheng Base and directly annihilated Gao’s Base.

Now that he spoke, his tone was naturally hostile.

"Gao Qiang, did you kill this Zhao Dong?"

Before Gao Qiang could even speak, Zhang Zheng accused him outright.

"Well, well!"

"Gao Qiang, you’ve got some nerve!"

"Daring to commit murder in broad daylight!!!"

"As a captain of the Public Security Bureau, I absolutely cannot let you go!!!"

Zhang Zheng had an air of righteousness about him.

’It looked as if he was really living up to that bullshit name of his!’

If Mengde hadn’t already learned from Gao Qiang what kind of scumbag this guy was, he might have actually believed him.

Besides, judging by the practiced way he pronounced them guilty without hearing any explanation, he had probably done this sort of thing plenty of times before the apocalypse.

’Most importantly, it’s the fucking apocalypse.’

’Who the fuck cares that you’re a Public Security Bureau captain?!’

Never mind anyone else, Mengde certainly wasn’t going to be intimidated!

"Gao Qiang, all of you, surrender immediately."

"Drop your weapons, or don’t blame us for what happens next!"

Following Zhang Can’s order, all the squad members behind him raised their guns.

Zhang Zheng was used to this kind of situation.

Since the apocalypse began, he had used these tactics to intimidate people countless times.

That, combined with the uniform he wore, was enough to scare most people.

And with guns in their hands...

...firearms were always effective!

And immensely lethal!

In this period alone, he had eliminated over a hundred survivors who "disobeyed his orders"!

As for their wives and daughters, he naturally took them back to be "taken care of" properly...

It was precisely this confidence that gave Zhang Zheng the audacity to speak this way.

But just as tensions were at their breaking point...

...unexpectedly, another person from the Public Security Bureau stepped forward.

"Stop!!!"

"Captain Zhang, how can you do something like this?"
