With Xu Zhengyang's current strength, even if the New White City survivor camp mobilized the entire city to attack, what could they do to him? Therefore, Xu Zhengyang didn't care at all whether they would discover his shelter.
It was just a matter of dealing with whatever came his way.
After returning to the shelter, Xu Zhengyang was just about to eat something and take a break.
Suddenly, Da Bai said to him, "Master, the convoy from the New White City survivor camp has discovered our shelter.
They are currently sending a communication request to us. Should we accept it?"
"Tell them to get lost."
Xu Zhengyang said bluntly, then added, "By the way, let them know our rules.
The area within five kilometers of the Prism Tower is a no-vehicle zone. Any vehicle that dares to enter will bear the consequences! The area within one and a half kilometers is an absolute no-go zone; no one is allowed to approach for any reason, or they will face the consequences!"
"Understood, Master." Da Bai faithfully executed Xu Zhengyang's orders.
...
Two minutes later.
Zhou Xin, sitting in the tank at the front of the New White City P12 external convoy, heard the voice message from Da Bai and his expression darkened, remaining silent.
Zhou Xin was originally just a secretary to a leader, and his position allowed him to enter the East Suburb shelter entirely due to the careful consideration of his superior.
Due to the indiscriminate outbreak of the Blood Plague Virus, many talented individuals in the East Suburb shelter had turned into zombies.
Because of this, there were many vacancies in the organizational structure of the East Suburb shelter!
In a situation where the short were promoted to generals, many individuals like Zhou Xin, who had some experience, were selected and promoted to become frontline commanders.
While filling the gaps, they were also assessing the capabilities of these individuals.
Since Zhou Xin became the captain of the New White City survivor camp's P-12 external convoy, he had long been accustomed to the sycophantic flattery of those around him.
This was the first time someone dared to speak to him so rudely! The tank driver, who understood Zhou Xin's character relatively well, cautiously asked him, "Captain Zhou.
The tank is about 400 meters away from the warning line they mentioned.
Should we...
continue to advance?"
"Of course we should advance!"
Zhou Xin sneered upon hearing this and immediately ordered the gunner, "Gunner, prepare! If we come under attack, retaliate immediately!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The gunner replied, maneuvering the tank's main gun to aim at the wall of Xu Zhengyang's shelter!...
Two minutes later.
Zhou Xin had already commanded the tank driver to bring the tank within three kilometers of the shelter! Upon arriving here and seeing that Xu Zhengyang had made no move.
Zhou Xin understood.
Zhou Xin thought Xu Zhengyang was just a bluffer; he now regarded Xu Zhengyang's shelter as his own possession.
"Hmph."
After taking a sip of water, Zhou Xin arrogantly communicated, "Connect me to the engineering team."
"Yes, Captain."
The communicator said, connecting the radio and handing the microphone to Zhou Xin.
After Zhou Xin took the radio microphone, he coughed twice and then said, "Once we take control of this shelter, your engineering team needs to measure the internal space of the shelter as quickly as possible and come up with a capacity plan.
The construction specifications of this shelter are not low; it must be able to accommodate many survivors. Everyone, work hard, and tonight I'll report your achievements!
Over and out!"
"Engineering team received, engineering team received, over." The radio responded.
Just as the voice from the radio fell.
Zhou Xin suddenly heard a series of "biu! biu! biu..." sounds.
Immediately after.
Before Zhou Xin could see anything, he felt the tank he was in make a "chug" sound and then suddenly stall, unable to move! At that moment.
The tank driver exclaimed, "Captain, it's bad! Our engine has been damaged, and the tank has lost power!"
At the same time.
The radio inside the tank began to sound urgent reports one after another: "Report! Engine one has been damaged, lost power, please advise!"
"Report! Engine two has been damaged, lost power, please advise!"
"Report..."
...
Hearing a series of urgent reports from the radio, Zhou Xin felt darkness before his eyes, and he suddenly felt dizzy!
If all the tanks and armored vehicles he brought out were to be written off here.
When I go back...
I'm afraid I'll be demoted, right?
Thinking of this.
Zhou Xin quickly pinched himself to wake up! Then he immediately shouted at the communicator in the tank, "Send a communication request to this shelter; I want to talk to them!"
"Yes, Captain!" The communicator immediately executed Zhou Xin's order.
...
Three minutes later.
The communicator helplessly said to Zhou Xin, "Report! I have initiated multiple communication requests, but the shelter is refusing to respond, and the communication channel cannot be established!"
"..."
Zhou Xin gritted his teeth upon hearing this.
Then he said to the communicator, "Let the maintenance team go down and see what damaged our engine and whether it can be repaired!"
The communicator hesitated and reminded Zhou Xin, "Captain, is it safe to let the maintenance team go down without knowing the situation...?"
"Then should I go down and take a look?" Zhou Xin said expressionlessly.
"Yes, Captain."
The communicator agreed and immediately conveyed Zhou Xin's order.
After a moment.
When Zhou Xin learned from the maintenance team that the convoy's tanks and armored vehicles had been pierced by suspected laser weapons, he was in disbelief.
It wasn't until Zhou Xin saw the wounds on the vehicles with his own eyes that he realized he had truly kicked an iron plate this time! Seeing that Xu Zhengyang had only pierced the convoy's tanks and armored vehicles without injuring anyone, Zhou Xin's courage grew.
He ran to a distance of 1.5 kilometers.
There, he shouted and pretended to be pitiful, trying to gain Xu Zhengyang's understanding.
But after Xu Zhengyang finished eating, he went straight to the audio-visual room to pass the time and didn't even look this way.
Because of this.
Until the sky gradually darkened.
Zhou Xin saw that not only was no one paying attention to him, but many survivors had gathered around to watch the commotion.
After the apocalypse, Zhou Xin had never encountered such setbacks!
He looked at the tank's cannon and thought for a moment, but in the end, he suppressed that thought.
With a resentful expression, he reluctantly led his people away from there...
*The next day.
