Chapter 85 Capture
Liu Fu drove an SUV with Li Chenglong and the others. After passing through a checkpoint set up by the city's guards, they successfully entered the city. After driving for more than ten minutes, they stopped in front of a luxurious villa. Wang Bing looked at the villa: "A mere lackey of Wu Xiaoyi can live in such a luxurious place?" Liu Fu said, "This lackey has done countless evil deeds and plundered a lot of the people's wealth." Li Chenglong chuckled: "Let's go in and meet him."
Then the group walked to the gate, whereupon four fully armed men approached. The leader said, "Liu Fu, why are you so eager this time? You've come to deliver money. We were just saying we'd come over to your place tonight." The other three burst into laughter. Liu Fu quickly smiled apologetically, "It's just that this week's profits are pretty good, so I rushed over to deliver it to Commander Jin." As he spoke, Liu Fu took out some banknotes and stuffed them into the hands of the four men. Wang Hai whispered from the side, "These banknotes are issued jointly by Lanzhou and five neighboring states after the apocalypse. They can only be used in these states." Only then did Li Chenglong realize what these banknotes were.
After receiving the money, the four men made a token inquiry into the situation of Li Chenglong's group of four and even searched them with a metal detector. Upon seeing Zhao Liying, they were astonished by her beauty and even tried to grope her. Liu Fu then said, "This woman is to be given to Commander Jin; everyone should be careful." Hearing "Commander Jin," the four men immediately stopped what they were doing. Zhao Liying was now furious, even contemplating murder. The five men entered, led by a scantily clad waitress, and slowly walked into the living room.
As the group entered the living room, they saw a man sitting imposingly on the sofa, several women feeding him. The interior was extremely luxurious, a stark contrast to the dilapidated residential area outside. Jin Hao, slightly drunk, ate the grapes the women fed him and said, "Liu Fu, put the money on the table. If there's nothing else, you can go home." Liu Fu, having abandoned his respectful attitude, asked Jin Hao, "Do you know him?" He pointed to Wang Hai beside him. Wang Hai had already taken off his glasses: "You scoundrel, do you still recognize me?" Jin Hao, somewhat drunk, slowly looked at Wang Hai, cursing as he spoke, "Who the hell are you? You think I know you? You, you are, Wang?" He immediately tried to call for help, but Wang Bing rushed forward and knocked him unconscious with a single blow. The other women, about to scream, were also knocked unconscious by Li Chenglong and Zhao Liying.
A few minutes later, Wang Hai and Liu Fu, working with Wang Bing, tied up the women, gagged them, and took them upstairs. Then the group went to Jin Hao, who was still bound, and Wang Bing poured a basin of water on him to wake him. Jin Hao slowly awoke, saw the group surrounding him, and immediately began to struggle and whimper. If he hadn't been tied up, he would have already knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Chenglong grinned wickedly, took out a miniature time bomb, tied it to Jin Hao's right leg, and then waved the detonator in his hand: "This is a new type of time bomb. Its power will definitely blow you to pieces. Don't even think about secretly disarming it; there are sensors around it. Once it's disarmed, it will explode immediately unless you use my detonator to shut down the sensors. Okay, now I have a few questions for you. If you dare to scream, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."
Tears streamed down Jin Hao's face as he nodded frantically, sobbing. Wang Bing then slowly removed the rag from Jin Hao's mouth. Jin Hao dared not speak loudly, saying softly, "I wonder what business you gentlemen have with me? If there is anything I can do to help, I am willing to serve you like a dog." Li Chenglong asked coldly, "Where is Wu Xiaoyi now? Take us to him." Jin Hao immediately replied, "I don't know where he is. He comes and goes without a trace all day long, his whereabouts are unpredictable." Without saying much, Li Chenglong activated the timer device, and immediately, the time bomb on Jin Hao's leg began its five-minute countdown. Jin Hao was immediately terrified and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Wu Xiaoyi is meeting with several trusted confidants from the central and inner cities at the Marshal's Mansion this afternoon to discuss the zombie horde in a few days."
Li Chenglong deactivated the time bomb: "Take us with you. If you dare to play any tricks, you know the consequences." Jin Hao glanced around: "But five of you is too many. If I bring so many people, Wu Xiaoyi will definitely become suspicious." Li Chenglong said, "Take just the three of us. Just take us there, and I'll guarantee your life." Jin Hai got up from the ground, washed his face and tidied himself up under Li Chenglong's arrangement, before leading Li Chenglong and the others out. As soon as they stepped outside, Jin Hao saw the fully armed soldiers in front of him and wanted to ask for help, but seeing Li Chenglong's cold eyes, he immediately dismissed the idea.
The three men got into Jin Hao's car and headed towards the Marshal's Mansion. During the drive, Li Chenglong asked Jin Hao some questions, learning the locations of important facilities such as the armory and granary, as well as the defenses of Jinlan City. With Jin Hao leading the way, they encountered no obstacles and entered the Marshal's Mansion smoothly. The Marshal's Mansion was formerly Jin Zhan'ao's residence, covering more than thirty acres, extremely magnificent, resembling a palace. According to Jin Hai, this mansion had been passed down for over a hundred years, undergoing a major renovation in between. Wu Xiaoyi's reception room was behind the main hall, and the group passed through several security checkpoints along the way.
As soon as Li Chenglong entered the reception room, he saw a rather imposing man at the head of the table, drinking something from a teacup. Upon closer listening, Li Chenglong realized he was drinking human milk. Seeing Jin Hao enter, Wu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Come on, Hao, these are some cows I just found this afternoon. They were all brought back from outside, fresh and clean, hahaha." Several people sitting on either side also had a cup next to them. Some were still savoring their drinks, occasionally offering compliments to Wu Xiaoyi.
Jin Hao forced a smile: "General, I have a few friends who want to meet you." Only then did Wu Xiaoyi notice the three people standing outside. Before he could get a good look, one of them shouted, "Attack!" The one who shouted was Li Chenglong. Immediately, Wang Bing and Zhao Liying vanished in a flash, one on each side. Li Chenglong rushed into the hall and kicked Wu Xiaoyi, bending his right leg into a V-shape. Wu Xiaoyi collapsed to the ground, clutching his broken leg and wailing. Those nearby tried to draw their guns, but Wang Bing and Zhao Liying knocked them away one by one.
Hearing the commotion from the reception room, the guards outside rushed in. Li Chenglong unleashed a Galactic Explosion with a single hand, instantly turning the guards who hadn't yet entered into pieces. Li Chenglong, stepping on Wu Xiaoyi, shouted at the remaining guards, "Put down your weapons, or you'll all meet the same end: death!" Seeing the carnage, the other guards were terrified and dropped their weapons, lying prone on the ground. Li Chenglong gave Wang Bing a look, and Wang Bing immediately understood, walking into the courtyard and firing a signal flare. As the flare soared into the sky, Zhao Rui and Han Xiaoling, who had been waiting outside the city, led over a hundred men from Jin Hai into the southern part of the city.
Li Chenglong glanced at the people kneeling on the ground: "Jin Hao, take Wang Bing to the prison, release General Jin's old troops, and join Zhao Rui to take over their army. Wang Bing, kill anyone who dares to obstruct you." Jin Hao, already terrified, had hidden behind a pillar. Hearing Li Chenglong call him, he shakily stepped forward and led Wang Bing out. Li Chenglong then asked, "Is there anyone here in charge of logistics, or anyone who knows about the granary?" No one answered. Li Chenglong's eyes narrowed, and he stomped Wu Xiaoyi's right arm, flattening it like paper. Wu Xiaoyi screamed and immediately fainted from the pain. Then someone knelt down and said, "I know, I know." Li Chenglong nodded: "You and this lady go to the granary. Li Ying, you take over the granary. Without my order, not a single grain of grain can be taken out. If anyone obstructs you, kill them." Zhao Liying obeyed and left.
Li Chenglong found a clean chair, sat down, and threw the teacup next to him to the ground. The people kneeling in the reception room exchanged bewildered glances, still unclear what was happening. Suddenly, someone outside the door secretly drew a pistol from their waist, pointed it at Li Chenglong, and shouted, "Die!" Li Chenglong didn't even flinch, letting the man fire. With a clang, the bullet didn't penetrate Li Chenglong's body; instead, it bounced off. Whether awakened or possessing supernatural abilities, once they reach level four, they are immune to most bullets and some small shells. Now that Li Chenglong was level six, even a small missile wouldn't kill him.
Everyone was stunned to see the bullet deflected by Li Chenglong's body, and the man who had fired the shot outside immediately took off running. Li Chenglong chuckled and instantly teleported back and forth in a second. When he returned, everyone saw him carrying a limp person in his right hand, the person's face twisted back, clearly dead. Li Chenglong laughed and said, "If anyone wants to try again, then continue. Pistols are too weak, so what about rifles? Or the grenades on your waists? That'll do too. Come on." Those kneeling people dared not move, burying their heads in the ground, not daring to meet Li Chenglong's gaze.
