Chapter 309: Chapter 259: Is There Anything Else You Want to Tell Me?

Yin Shuangyang used violent coercion to seize control of Director Tang, the person in charge of the Huangtong Railway terminal. This was to protect the railway so they could use it later.

Huangyang Port also had some old diesel locomotives. Their simple construction would make them more reliable after the apocalypse.

After Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang finished their arrangements, they left some men behind to stand guard and headed to their airfield.

After they left, Wang Dingbei emerged from the public security station across from D Port, accompanied by Jing Yanwei, Xiao Dabe, Liu Hao, Yang Ze, and others. They began visiting the local businesses one by one.

The foot traffic in Huangyang Port was visibly much lighter today.

Wang Dingbei looked toward the railway office area. A lot of vehicles were parked there... they were Shuangyang Group vehicles.

"He’s here again... Yin Shuangyang, why are you so interested in the railway?"

"Officer Jing, we’ll go over and take a look later..."

...

Over at the general aviation airfield, two helicopters were already parked. There was no need to seize control of the place; Yin Shuangyang had simply arranged to have exclusive use of it for the day.

This wasn’t a commercial passenger airport, but a general aviation airfield used primarily for agricultural drones, short-haul freight, emergency rescue, and air logistics. It served commercial and agricultural purposes.

If you had money, you could use it.

Yin Shuangyang slung an arm around Yu Dong’s shoulders.

"Brother Yu, if we run into any trouble and can’t stay in Yanhai City, we’ll just fly straight to the island. I had a landing pad built on Zou’s island. The conditions aren’t great, but it can serve as a refuge. I’ve had a batch of supplies stockpiled there to serve as a final sanctuary for the three of us..."

"But who knows how to fly? The few pilots here might not survive..."

"Zou can fly. He’s very capable."

Yin Shuangyang grinned, revealing his teeth.

"Good... then I can rest easy."

Yu Dong nodded, his gaze heavy.

...

On Sunday morning, Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang personally checked every part of their setup.

They wanted to ensure their plan could be executed flawlessly.

By noon, Yin Shuangyang’s men had captured Director Sun and 83 electrical engineers. They were locked in a warehouse on the campus and separated from each other with chains.

When the time came, those who didn’t turn into zombies would all be high-level specialists they could use.

At lunchtime, Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang ate together.

Watching Yu Dong, who had been refining the plan all day, Yin Shuangyang spoke up.

"The apocalypse begins tonight. Is there anyone else you want to save? I can have my men bring them back. Don’t worry about me controlling them... After the apocalypse, if everything happens like you said and you haven’t been playing me, I’ll release them immediately. That includes your three roommates. From then on, they’ll all be my, Yin Shuangyang’s, brothers."

’People I want to save?’

Yu Dong thought of Liu Ye’ye, Shen Xinyi, Zhou Jian Country, Yan Yikai, Zhao Wenjie, Xia Yao, Yu Chengfei, Jiang Zhuoyu, and Sun Yu... the core members of his team from his past life.

Because Xufeng and the other two had been captured and brought here, he had lost contact with all of them.

The apocalypse was just one afternoon away. If he didn’t go get them now... he’d never be able to.

After the apocalypse, everyone would be scattered.

Since Yin Shuangyang wouldn’t let him talk to his three roommates alone, he had no idea which of these people had successfully "activated" and which had failed, or what they were doing now.

’It’s all because of Huang Zhiqiang!’

’His stupidity ruined the whole plan!’

’If any of my core team members die... Huang Zhiqiang will be entirely to blame!’

’Idiot!’

Even now, Yu Dong found it unbelievable... Huang Zhiqiang wasn’t the brightest, but he couldn’t be so dumb that after hearing him specifically warn the ’Reincarnators’ not to buy lottery tickets, he would go buy one himself just to try his luck, right?

’And he bought ten tickets!’

’Was he trying to win a hundred million?’

’As if they’d ever let you win, for fuck’s sake!’

Right now, Yu Dong didn’t want to beat up Huang Zhiqiang or kick him out. He just wanted to wait until after the apocalypse and ask Huang personally...

’What were you thinking?’

Yu Dong felt there was only one way for Huang Zhiqiang to escape his wrath now: prove that demonic possession was real.

Shaking his head, Yu Dong stopped thinking about Huang and glanced at the sincere-looking Yin Shuangyang, feeling a wave of hesitation...

’Right now, everything could be turned around.’

’If he had one last heart-to-heart with Yin Shuangyang and told him everything, they could surely cast aside their previous grievances and move forward together.’

’Then all his core team members could be rescued and brought to this massive base this very afternoon, and they could all survive.’

’But if he stuck to the original plan... his core team members would be beyond his control. Their lives would be in the hands of fate.’

The choice... lay before Yu Dong.

Yu Dong recalled the last meeting of their apocalypse preparation squad from his previous life... he thought of the future they had predicted...

Under the table, Yu Dong’s fists clenched. He then looked at Yin Shuangyang.

"There’s no one else. As long as my good brothers are by my side, that’s enough."

"Alright. Let’s go see them then. What I’m about to do might make you a little uncomfortable, but after spending these last few days together, you should be able to see that I treat my friends extremely well. But if you become my enemy... you’d better be prepared for your entire family to die."

Yu Dong’s brow furrowed, and he followed Yin Shuangyang.

In the residential area, inside a large, dimly lit room.

Yu Dong saw... Xufeng, Zhao Youcai, and Huang Zhiqiang sitting in the room. Their hands and feet were cuffed to sturdy, solid wood chairs. Facing them were three of Yin Shuangyang’s men in black stab-proof vests, each one a burly brute.

Yu Dong squinted at the three of them but couldn’t tell if they were injured.

"Are you guys alright?"

Xufeng: "Yeah, we’re fine."

Zhao Youcai: "They brought us to this room after we finished eating."
