Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1220 - 557: Ge Liangen Steps Forward (2)

Zhang Dazhi wore a grave expression, murmuring, "Something's not right, something's definitely not right."

Ge Liangen let out a curse, "Damn it, your comrades are being held there, and you're still not moving? Didn't I tell you before? If they dare to make a move, beat them to death! Did you just ignore what I said?"

The soldier remained silent, daring not to speak.

Grabbing Ge Liangen, Zhang Dazhi said in a deep voice, "Hold on, Old Ge, there’s something strange about this situation."

"What's strange? These Yangshan scoundrels deserve a good thrashing. I brought people here to assert dominance, and now they dare to lay hands on my men? Damn it, are they trying to turn the world upside down?"

"Old Zhang, don't get involved in this. I'll handle it!"

With that, Ge Liangen shrugged off Zhang Dazhi's arm and strode out of the tent.

Unable to restrain him, Zhang Dazhi's expression turned grim. Thinking rapidly, he muttered, "These Yangshan folks have been docile for the past month and a half, letting us bully them without retaliation. Why are they showing such aggression today?"

"Is it simply because Mr. Liang has returned?"

A sense of foreboding washed over Zhang Dazhi, and he wondered if the situation was escalating into an all-out conflict between the two factions.

If it truly came to that, his side hadn't yet gathered sufficient forces and hadn't alerted the Guangfu team.

If a direct confrontation were to erupt, their meticulously crafted plan to take control of Yangshan might crumble.

With this thought, Zhang Dazhi immediately turned to the soldier before him and commanded urgently, "Quick, find an agile soldier immediately and dispatch them to Guangfu. Report that the situation in Yangshan has changed and request Captain Ding's immediate assistance. Time is of the essence, hurry!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The soldier acknowledged the order and departed with haste.

Feeling uneasy about Ge Liangen's actions, Zhang Dazhi decided to go and investigate himself.

However, before he could even step outside, three soldiers burst in from the exterior.

The three soldiers, their faces etched with anxiety, called out simultaneously upon spotting Zhang Dazhi, "Captain, Captain, something is wrong."

One of them reported, "Captain, just now, the Yangshan people went to the Gouwu Pavilion and, without explanation, demanded we vacate the pavilion immediately. They intend to seize control of the high-altitude defense system."

"Captain, at the Floating Bridge Port on Yangshan Island, a group of Yangshan individuals arrived and are ordering us to leave at once, stating they wish to change the guard shifts."

"Captain, there's a report from the mining area; a group of Yangshan people have gone there and are expelling our personnel."

As each piece of alarming news arrived, Zhang Dazhi's expression darkened progressively.

"That Mr. Liang, returning and immediately interfering with the established order we painstakingly built!"

"These Yangshan people seem to place their complete trust in him."

"Is this fellow not afraid of severing ties with us?"

Zhang Dazhi, filled with anxiety, immediately issued an order, "Pass the word, everyone gear up and stand by at the entrance, fully armed!"

"Yes!"

Following Zhang Dazhi's command, the soldiers rushed out to relay the message.

With a grim countenance, he muttered, "They've stirred up such a disturbance; no matter what, I must stall for time until Captain Ding arrives with his forces."

While Zhang Dazhi was urgently mobilizing his troops, Ge Liangen acted without much hesitation.

He was seen leading three or four trusted subordinates, rapidly making his way towards the sunroom.

The Yangshan sunroom was situated in close proximity to the Leader’s Mansion.

Originally constructed against the mountainside, half of it was nestled within a cave, while the other half extended outwards, built in the style of a Bamboo House.

With the onset of winter, the sunroom's area had been significantly expanded.

What was once the open plaza outside the Yangshan Complex had now been transformed into a sunroom, complete with bamboo shelters erected overhead.

Though the air outside was frigid, covered in thick snow, the interior remained as warm as spring, thanks to the abundance of mutated sunflowers.

It's noteworthy that the mall within the complex had undergone a considerable reduction in size, while the dining hall had become increasingly bustling.

Currently, the majority of those residing in Yangshan were robust men, primarily forming the combat units.

Consequently, shopping activities had diminished significantly, and no one bothered to cook their own meals; everyone converged at the dining hall for sustenance.

Only a fraction of the entertainment facilities on the fourth floor remained operational, having been relocated to the lower levels.

Most of the salvaged items were transferred to the Mirage Snake Space.

Presently, the most valuable asset within the complex was the village-level power generation equipment, meticulously buried deep underground by Liang Yuan.

This generator not only provided electricity for Yangshan's consumption but also supplied power to the nearby Lingyun Slope and Meishan.

To facilitate this, Liang Yuan had previously procured a substantial quantity of wires and cable materials through exchange.

Outside the sunroom, a considerable crowd had already assembled.

Uniformly dressed in black, the Yangshan personnel stood on one side.

Facing them were dozens of soldiers clad in camouflage uniforms.

A soldier named Zhao Liang was found hanging from the flagpole outside the sunroom, completely exposed to the biting cold.

A thick layer of snow had already settled upon him.

He remained utterly still, hanging there like a sacrificial pig or sheep awaiting the New Year, with only the faint warmth of his breath from his nostrils betraying that he was still alive.

On the military's side, several burly men, their faces contorted with rage, clenched their jaws as they glared at the Yangshan group.

A short-haired man in camouflage bellowed, "You ungrateful wretches! You were the ones who summoned our forces here!"

"Weren't it for us, the Three Great Sects would have dealt with you ages ago!"

"And now you betray us, crossing the river and then burning the bridge behind you, daring to humiliate our comrades like this! Do you intend to wage war against the military? Huh?"

"Release him!"

"Release him!"

The soldiers in camouflage shouted in unison, their voices resonating with immense power.

In stark contrast, the Yangshan people erupted into laughter.

From a nearby bamboo shelter, Gu Feng chuckled, "Oh no, I'm so frightened. Who are you trying to intimidate with those threats, you simple-minded soldiers?"

"For over a month, you've been encroaching upon our territory, enjoying our food and drink, and what have you contributed?"

"Yangshan adheres to its own rules and discipline. Your personnel have repeatedly flouted our regulations and challenged our authority. Don't assume we're unaware of your intentions?"

"Are you testing our resolve to defy you? Haha, well, you see now. Not only do we dare to defy you, but we also dare to retaliate!"

"Go on, summon more of your kind, let's see how many more you can gather!"

"Let's compare numbers, our Yangshan people against you simple-minded soldiers!"

Gu Feng's declaration was met with enthusiastic cheers and applause from the Yangshan ranks.

"Come on, do you truly believe I fear you simple-minded soldiers?"

"Simple-minded soldiers, make your move if you dare!"

"Heh, we tolerated you previously out of respect for Dr. Yang, Captain Li, and Captain Zhao, choosing not to engage.

"But now that Mr. Liang has returned, do you imagine Mr. Liang will tolerate your insolence?"

"Simple-minded soldiers, if you're unhappy residing in Yangshan, then vacate the premises."

Laughter and insults continued to pour from the Yangshan crowd.

The soldiers' faces grew increasingly grim, their eyes reflecting utter disbelief.

These Yangshan individuals, whom they had easily dismissed as weaklings just a month and a half ago, had suddenly become so defiant.

What was it about the return of this Mr. Liang that had transformed them so drastically?

Who was this enigmatic Mr. Liang?

The soldiers were perplexed. Yet, with the sheer number of Yangshan people present, many of whom seemed eager for a confrontation, they found themselves hesitant to act.

This situation clearly intimidated the soldiers, and their expressions darkened further.

It was evident that if a fight were to break out, their small contingent of a dozen soldiers would be vastly outnumbered and overwhelmed.

The odds were heavily stacked against them!

Just as the soldiers wore grim expressions, uncertain of how to proceed,

a sharp, commanding voice pierced the air from the direction of the Fire Bamboo Forest.

"A bunch of ungrateful ingrates in Yangshan! You pleaded for our presence, and now you wish us gone? Do you take my soldiers for fools?"

"You seek a fight, do you? Let's see what this impudent whelp can do against me!"

Ge Liangen, clad in his camouflage uniform, was seen descending from the sky, his spiritual sense spreading outwards, encompassing the entire area.

The palpable, terrifying aura arrested everyone's breath!

Even Gu Feng's demeanor shifted slightly!

"Ge Liangen!"

Gu Feng's expression instantly turned grave as he rose from the bamboo shelter.

This man held the position of second-in-command for two military units and was widely regarded as the most formidable among the military personnel.

Barring Li Qinghua, who was certain to defeat him, no one in Yangshan could confidently claim superiority over this man.
