Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Finding the Source of the Berserk Zombies
Loud firecrackers and a lively lion dance drew the attention of many. Every passerby was drawn in, their eyes fixed on the newly opened Qingfeng Entertainment City.
The Qingfeng Entertainment City had a total of five floors, containing all sorts of entertainment attractions like KTV, bars, nightclubs, discos, foot spas, and more.
The commotion also attracted nearby residents, who made a mental note of the name: Qingfeng Entertainment City.
They figured they could come check it out when they had free time. If the atmosphere was nice and it was fun, they would have a new, regular place to hang out.
In front of the Qingfeng Entertainment City, a group of several dozen lightly dressed young women were also handling promotions.
These were bar girls that Chen Bo and his crew had brought over. As a result, many people were drawn in by the women, taking flyers. Some even signed up on the spot.
Moreover, whenever they successfully signed someone up, they had the customer book a visit to the bar to see them in the next two or three days.
This was all to ensure there would be more customers for the grand opening.
After all, if they could create a lively atmosphere and a packed house for the grand opening, customers would take videos to post on social media and short-video apps, which in turn would attract even more people.
So, beauty could be a very useful tool.
With dozens of lightly dressed young women standing there, some lechers were bound to be drawn in.
「Inside the entertainment city.」
Ah Pao had already gathered a group of men and was respectfully welcoming Lu Feng, Yang Ming, and Chen Bo into the entertainment city.
These past few days, as the manager of the entertainment city, Ah Pao had been incredibly busy. It was his first time managing something like this, and the pressure was immense.
But no matter how great the pressure, he knew he had to give it his all.
This was a golden opportunity to make a name for himself.
If the entertainment city took off, Ah Pao’s name would be known throughout the area.
The men beside him were his brothers from Youcheng. They had all invested a little in the entertainment city, and now every one of them was dressed in a matching black suit.
These men would serve as internal security, or even security managers!
After all, the entertainment city had five floors and was enormous. They alone weren’t enough to handle security.
Once the entertainment city opened, they could call more people over from Youcheng.
After all, both Yang Ming and Chen Bo had plenty of followers. Once those men arrived in Tianzhou City, they would be like a private army, so there was no need to worry about certain issues.
"President Lu, for the decor in the entertainment city, we specially hired a designer from the Capital City..." Ah Pao’s form of address for Lu Feng had changed, which clearly meant he, Da Fei, Chen Bo, and the others had discussed it.
After all, to make a name for yourself in Tianzhou City, you had to be careful about certain things. You couldn’t act like a common gangster. This wasn’t some small-time county.
Even if you were a gangster, you had to dress the part of a respectable person.
’Look at how the big shots do it. When they want to kill someone, they just say they’re "going for fish." Now that’s class.’
"Hm, the decor is nice." Lu Feng nodded. Although he rarely frequented nightclubs, he could still tell good decor from bad.
At the very least, it gave off a good impression the moment you walked in.
Just then, Yang Ming received a phone call. After speaking for a moment, he turned to Lu Feng. "Xiaofeng, I’ve finished the background check on Wang Xin. She’s really well-known in the industry. And very skilled. I had my men ask around in tech circles, and everyone says the same thing."
Lu Feng nodded. "Perfect. Cousin, keep a close eye on the web company from now on. Have Wang Xin and her team handle the software promotion."
"Mhm, I’ll take care of it." Yang Ming nodded.
Lu Feng didn’t know much about the nightclub business, so he didn’t stay long at the grand opening. He soon returned to his villa. Upon arrival, he saw Yang Qingxue hurrying out the door. The moment she spotted him, she happily trotted over. "Lu Feng, help me decide. Which of these two colors is better?"
As she spoke, she handed Lu Feng some papers. They were about the decorations for her beauty salon; she was having trouble deciding on the wall colors for some of the accent areas.
Lu Feng looked them over and pointed out a color for Yang Qingxue.
He knew his girlfriend suffered from decision paralysis at times. By helping her choose, he could save her a lot of agonizing.
Besides, he genuinely thought the color he pointed to was the most attractive.
"Okay, this color it is then. Lu Feng, thank you." Yang Qingxue happily hugged his neck and gave him a kiss.
Lu Feng, however, smiled and asked, "Is just one kiss all the thanks I get?"
Yang Qingxue huffed, "Then how do you want to be thanked?"
"I’m craving a certain ’dish’," Lu Feng said with a grin.
"What dish? I’ll make it for you!" Yang Qingxue immediately asked. Her cooking was excellent, so making a meal was a piece of cake for her.
But when she saw the mischievous look on Lu Feng’s face, Yang Qingxue knew he was up to no good. She gave his side a sharp pinch, then ignored him and walked right out of the villa.
Lu Feng, however, just smiled smugly, then looked at the game screen. With a thought, he entered the game.
As soon as he entered, a guard saw him and reported, "Boss, Conductor Lin is looking for you. She said to report to you as soon as you were seen."
"Where is she now? Have her come here," Lu Feng nodded and ordered.
The guard nodded and immediately went to find a superior with a walkie-talkie to report. Before long, Lin Jiao got the message and hurried over.
Behind Lin Jiao were Chen Tao, Chen Hao, Xu Bin, Wang Cheng, and Guo Zhen. Moreover, they were all carrying weapons and fully armed.
Seeing this, Lu Feng immediately asked, "Did you find that faction?"
After the proportion of Berserk and Variant Zombies had increased, he’d had Lin Jiao dispatch search parties to find the faction from the "Berserk Zombie" arc.
It looked like they had news.
Lin Jiao immediately said, "Boss, we have news. My people discovered a survivor search party being attacked by a group of Berserk and Variant Zombies. After that survivor search party was wiped out, those Berserk Zombies wandered off in a single direction."
"Even the zombies that the survivor team turned into did the same. We knew something was very wrong, so we followed them and discovered a suspicious place. That might be where the faction is located."
Hearing this news, Lu Feng immediately said, "Gather the men. We’re heading there to take a look."
’In the Berserk Zombie arc, even the City East Alliance was destroyed. Now that this threat has appeared in the vicinity of our Qingfeng Base, I absolutely have to nip it in the bud.’
"Gather the men," Lin Jiao also commanded Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen nodded, took out his walkie-talkie, and said, "Combat personnel, assemble! We have a mission!"
At once, the base’s combat personnel started to move.
Lin Jiao then turned to Xu Bin. "Xu Bin, you and Guo Zhen will stay and guard the base, same as always. Chen Lin and the Mecha will also remain behind."
Chen Lin was another member of the Salvation Army who could bind with and use the Mecha.
Soon, the combat personnel of Qingfeng Base had finished assembling in Zhuangyuan District. They gathered quickly, a clear sign of their rigorous training.
The combat personnel this time included former members of the absorbed Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps, as well as recruits selected from the more than 200 people who had been brought to the base later.
They had been well-trained during this time and now carried the air of true soldiers. Every single one of them was armed.
Lin Jiao went right up and hand-picked fifty people for the mission. The rest would remain to guard the base.
Once the team was selected, Lu Feng boarded a waiting hover-truck and led the group straight out of the base.
The location had already been entered into the hover-truck’s digital map. The group quickly arrived near the destination and found a concealed spot to hide.
The location was surprisingly close to Qingfeng Base, in a direction that hadn’t yet been covered by the base’s Hidden Guards.
Now that they knew the location, they weren’t about to charge in blindly. It was best to make thorough preparations before striking, to catch the enemy completely by surprise.
"Boss, if we go to the top of this building, we can observe the entire location," Lin Jiao reported after getting out of a hover-truck.
Lu Feng nodded and led his team into the building. To their surprise, there wasn’t a single zombie in sight. There hadn’t been any outside, either.
Something was very wrong.
Lu Feng reached the rooftop. Lin Jiao took out a pair of binoculars and handed them to him. "Boss, over to the north, the residential complex with the three big trees. That area has a complex layout."
Lu Feng nodded, took the binoculars, and looked at the location. The moment he saw it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Lin Jiao was also holding a pair of binoculars. When she looked in that direction, her face showed pure disbelief, and she gasped, "How is that possible!"
