Chapter 763: Assault on the Command Center
Chapter 763: Assault on the Command Center
Zhang Yi never acted without purpose.
If Gao Changkong's rebellion was merely to kill someone unrelated to his own interests, he wouldn't interfere.
Nor did he believe Zhu Zheng's death would plunge the entire Jiangnan Region into chaos.
Personally, Zhang Yi also had no desire to clash with a fully-prepared investigation team at this moment.
Looking at his current companions - the Moon of Corrosion and Tianlong Pirate Crew had exhausted them all.
Even if they rushed to assist, time wouldn't permit it, and their strength likely couldn't match the enemy's.
"Why would Gao Changkong rebel?"
He voiced this question with genuine confusion.
"For someone of his status to collude with Ronin from the Neon Nation is utterly beneath him."
The Neon Nation wouldn't dare scheme against the Jiangnan Region.
If proven, the Jiangnan Region could simply carpet-bomb them with Death Reapers of Love.
The vast power disparity between the two nations was obvious, especially regarding H-weapons.
In this apocalyptic era, relationships between major factions had changed - sparks could easily ignite full conflict.
"Perhaps... it really is personal?"
Yang Xinxin suddenly interjected.
Zhang Yi turned curiously toward her. When their eyes met, he saw the answer reflected in her clear gaze.
"Did Zhu Zheng wrong him?"
Yang Xinxin smiled faintly. "That hardly matters now. Brother, you've already annihilated the Moon of Corrosion and dealt with the Tianlong Pirate Crew along the way."
"These achievements are enough to make you the Jiangnan Region's hero!"
"As for Blizzard City's mess... let them handle it themselves."
Hearing this, Baili Changqing grew agitated.
"Zhang Yi! You can't just stand by! If Commander Zhu is killed, the entire Jiangnan Region will descend into chaos!"
He took a deep, shaky breath. "Moreover... Gao Changkong's collusion with the Neon Ronin is practically confirmed!"
"Can you tolerate such beastly behavior?"
*Cough cough! Cough cough cough!*
Baili Changqing suddenly covered his mouth, blood seeping between his fingers in crimson streams.
Zhang Yi steadied him, frowning slightly. "Of course I can't tolerate it. Given the chance, I'd kill him myself!"
Undisguised killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This entire trap had been Gao Changkong's design.
Had Zhang Yi not concealed his captain-level strength, he'd have died under the combined assault of Moon of Corrosion and the pirates.
His hatred for Gao Changkong burned fiercely - he longed to execute him immediately!
Yet returning to Blizzard City now... he lacked confidence against the full-strength Reincarnation Squad.
At this moment, Yang Xinxin reminded him:
"Brother, you're overlooking something crucial."
Zhang Yi looked up at the adorable girl.
"What else?"
Yang Xinxin turned toward the shrine maiden standing obediently behind her.
"The true core of Moon of Corrosion wasn't Phoenixin Ren... but her."
After a moment's thought, Zhang Yi grasped her meaning.
Takeuchi Mayumi wasn't a combat-type superhuman, so he'd temporarily forgotten how formidable her abilities were.
And how... delicious her essence might be.
She might even surpass Phoenixin Ren in level!
"But killing her... seems wasteful?"
Zhang Yi hesitated, reluctant to lose Takeuchi Mayumi's abilities.
A shrine maiden who could foresee fragments of destiny and grant others precognition was the ultimate support!
"It's pointless, brother."
Yang Xinxin shook her head.
"My Desire Angel ability only lasts one hour. After that, she'll regain her free will."
"Who knows what she'll do then? Better to..." Her lips curled with disturbing delight. "...consume her!"
With these words, she fired a black arrow at the weakened Kanute, who widened his eyes before taking his own life. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Brother, after absorbing their power, you can return to Blizzard City!"
"Compared to uncertain futures, Zhu Zheng's current existence benefits us most."
"And if you successfully stop Gao Changkong... you'll gain greater leverage when negotiating with Blizzard City."
Understanding dawned on Zhang Yi.
If Zhu Zheng died, someone else might take power.
But a new commander's temperament couldn't be guaranteed.
At present, his relationship with Commander Zhu remained amicable.
Personally... Gao Changkong had tried to kill him. Zhang Yi wasn't magnanimous enough to forget that hatred.
"I'll try then!"
He glanced at the severely wounded Liang Yue and Baili Changqing.
"Don't delay either. Choose your prey and absorb them. There may be... complications ahead."
Both were gravely injured - Baili Changqing especially after using Compound-5, now at death's door.
But absorbing Daiku Kai Enzu and Tsukamoto Nobunaga's essence could heal them.
As deputy-captain level foes, Zhang Yi wouldn't compete for those.
He had better options.
With a soft sigh, Zhang Yi approached the smiling Takeuchi Mayumi, gripped her throat, and snapped her neck.
Then he collected both her and Kanute's bodies to begin absorption.
...
In Blizzard City's Operations Command Center, the slaughter commenced.
Gao Changkong led the Reincarnation Squad upward through the sixteen-story building.
Each floor held heavily armed defenders - elite soldiers in black powered armor at minimum, often including powerful superhumans.
Yet against Blizzard City's elite Reincarnation Squad, they proved pathetically weak.
Gao Changkong maintained his calm demeanor, hands clasped behind his back without engaging.
His vice-captain Ji Yushen handled the combat.
Ji Yushen - special-type superhuman, codename [Ghost Blade].
Little was known about his abilities beyond summoning an enormous cyan greatsword from voidspace that could bisect armored vehicles with ease.
Ji Yushen marched at the vanguard toward the command room.
The corridor ahead trembled with seismic footsteps as hundreds of soldiers blocked the passage.
A Yan Yun Guard major spoke through his cold mask: "Reincarnation Squad, stand down! None may enter without the commander's orders!"
Ji Yushen gripped his two-meter greatsword with both hands. "Still don't understand the situation?"
Like lightning, he charged forward.
"Fire!"
The major gestured, and soldiers formed battle ranks - riot shields upfront, gunners behind unleashing bullet storms.
Ji Yushen's greatsword swept horizontally.
The bullets reversed course like plastic pellets as the alloy shields split like paper.
Dozens of defenders died instantly, shattered corpses and blood painting the hallway crimson.
*Whoosh!*
Laser grids materialized, attempting to ensnare the Reincarnation Squad.
Ji Yushen's blade danced along the walls - green afterimages slicing through reinforced concrete like tofu, destroying the hidden laser emitters within.
