Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Rebellion
ā`
Boom!
A fireball slammed into the ground at the feet of Zhang Wu and the others, scaring them to retreat several steps.
āWho is it?!ā
Zhang Wu looked in the direction the fireball had come from; it had been thrown from behind the group of Special Ability Users.
āLet us in!ā
A frail woman emerged from behind the crowd, followed by several other men and women, one of the menās fluffy slippers drawing particular attention.
āYouāre trying to rebel, arenāt you? Iām laying it out here, if you donāt hand over Crystal Cores today, donāt even think about getting through this door!ā
Zhang Wu pointed to the ground beneath his feet, the requirement of one hundred Crystal Cores was a mandate from above, and he had the full authority to stop them.
āAs survivors of this era, yet you persist in making things difficult for others, have you no shame?!ā
Yao Rui pointed at the base members behind Zhang Wu and scolded. She couldnāt understand why, in an age when people should be united, there were always those who would hold others back.
āHey, let me tell you, people are born into ranks, and this base was built by Colonel Yuan himself for everyone, you should obey the orders issued by Colonel Yuan, got it?ā
Zhang Wuās words were righteous, as if he belonged to the highest caste.
āDonāt waste your breath on him; with just a gun in hand, he dares to strut around, Iāve been fed up with this for a long timeā
Kong Shangje, wearing fluffy slippers, stepped forward, looking like he was about to clash with Zhang Wuās group.
Bang!
Zhang Wu shot a man attempting to forcibly enter the base, the bullet hitting the manās chest. The manās eyes widened in disbelief as he fell.
āMurderer~ā
A cry of alarm rose, accompanied by the clashing of various Special Abilities, and chaos instantly erupted at the city gateā¦
Zhao Le, timid, ran to a wall, watching in horror as people kept falling, inching toward the city gate; this place was too terrifying, he couldnāt die, his Space had so much of his teammatesā supplies, and if a Space Element Ability User died, the contents of their Space would disappear too.
Yao Ruiās fireball hit Zhang Wuās rifle, and with quick reflexes, Zhang Wu tossed the rifle away and pulled a small handgun from his waist, firing into the crowd.
The other base gatekeepers hesitated but eventually followed Zhang Wuās command and began shooting at the survivors ahead.
āKilling our own kind, you are not one of us; no need to hold back any longer, kill them!ā
As Yao Rui spoke, she conjured dozens of fast-moving fireballs and hurled them towards the city gate!
Da Yu and Kong Shangjie, along with a few others, also released their Special Abilities with eyes red, underscoring their exhaustion from a day of battling zombies. But with the situation escalated to this point, they knew being captured by these people would lead to dire outcomes.
The number of Special Ability Users who had returned from outside the city walls was limited, while Zhang Wu had a steady stream of reinforcements running from behind him, quickly putting the underpowered Special Ability Users at a disadvantage.
Zhao Le successfully made his way into the base, darting toward the area where Zhang Xiaohong was while no one was looking.
He didnāt know whom to ask for help, but there were many Special Ability Users from the base queuing at Zhang Xiaohongās location, who would probably be going out to kill zombies later. Now, he could only ask around to see if anyone was willing to help.
Su Jin and the others also heard the gunfire from the baseās entrance, exchanged glances, but continued to weigh the supplies for people, until Zhao Le came running in, gasping, and quickly explained to those in line what was happening at the city gate.
āPlease, please help them, theyāre about to not hold outā
Zhao Le said in a rush, the sound of gunfire still ringing out continuously and growing more intense; the situation was clearly not good.
āWe want to go, but look at the line hereā
ā`
The people still queuing inside the courtyard said.
Meanwhile, many in the distance, upon hearing Zhao Leās words, had already run over without a second thought.
It was no joke, having to hand over 100 Crystal Cores every day upon returnāif they did as they were asked, how would they survive? Now, the Crystal Cores were treasures.
āThose who want to help can come and get a number tag; we will still prioritize selling supplies to you when you come back later,ā
Su Jin said to those in line.
Zhao Le looked at Su Jin gratefully. Sure enough, right after she finished speaking, many people went to get number tags. However, there were still many who hadnāt had their porridge and were too weak to walk steadily; they could only silently cheer on those departing.
āGirl, I want to go have a look as well,ā
Nie Qing said, approaching. Rebellion and suchāhe had only seen it in storybooks before.
āUncle Nie, please go, but be careful. They have weapons on them,ā
Su Jin said.
Seeing that Lu Guanhai and others also wanted to go have a look, Su Jin simply allowed Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan to follow, leaving only Huang Yunxiang and the two elders to continue selling supplies in the courtyard.
The smell of blood was pervasive at the city gate, and it appeared that a fair number of people had been shot to the ground. Many of the baseās uniformed personnel were also struck down by Special Ability Users, with cries of pain and screams incessant.
āThisā¦ā
Nie Qing was momentarily stunned upon seeing this; it seemed that rebellion was not an easy matter.
āThose with guns donāt look like the proper soldiers from before, probably just hoodlums recruited from who knows where,ā
Lu Guanhai pointed to the baseās personnel who were firing indiscriminately and said.
āThe former regular army probably all followed Xing Taining and his cohort; these people are not on the same level as them,ā
Su Xiangzhe, who had military experience himself, could tell these people were different from Xing Tainingās group.
Zhang Anguo, standing on high ground and watching the situation at the city gate, also noticed Lin Xiuyuan and Lu Hao, who had sold food the day before. He had heard that only Zhang Xiaohong was a Space Element Ability User, and yet, the men from their group had all come here.
Wasnāt this a golden opportunity?
Zhang Anguo instructed the sniper behind him to continue firing below and then led a team down.
Lu Hao also noticed a gaze coming from a wooden building not far away, but when he looked up again, all he could see were several dark gun muzzles shooting at the Special Ability Users below.
Boom!
A big cluster of Special Ability Fire smashed towards the three-story wooden building, instantly igniting a raging fire at its base.
āSon, well done,ā
Lu Guanhai couldnāt help but throw two more fireballs at the wooden building as well.
āBrother-in-law, Iāll go lend a hand too,ā
Lin Xiuyuan saw Kong Shangjie and several others who had gone into a frenzy. Although those men seemed to have sustained injuries, big and small.
Lu Hao nodded. It wasnāt that they were being nosy; these Special Ability Users were their customers, and moreover, they had already found themselves at odds with the baseās management yesterday.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng and others also went over to join in, occasionally assisting the Special Ability Users.
And at the northern courtyard, Su Jin was longing to immediately kill the several people in front of herāthey had actually taken advantage of the distraction to take Li Xiuying hostage at the gate!
