'Uh?' Jiang Lius.h.i.+ suddenly looked at the minibus' direction and saw Ying sitting in the driver's seat calmly. As the MCV's a.s.sistant, her primary mission was to protect the host to the point of disregarding her own safety.

"Ying, you are badly injured. You need treatment," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ got on the minibus and said softly.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could sense Ying's physical condition due to Sta.r.s.eed. Currently, he could clearly sense that she had a few broken ribs and that she was in pain but couldn't shed tears like normal people. She had received those injuries to protect him; her loyalty was second to none.

"Yuxin, Ying's ribs are broken, please treat her," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said to Li Yuxin, who was taking care of Zhuying.

Li Yuxin was slightly surprised, and then she quickly walked to Ying. When she used her ability to thoroughly examine Ying, she was shocked. Although Ying's ribs were broken, her condition was quite dangerous. One of her broken ribs had punctured her lung! Li Yuxin could not help but admire Ying's willpower.

Li Yuxin did not say anything and treated Ying's broken ribs. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ heaved a sigh of relief.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang! These are yours!" Yang Tianzhao gave the guns to Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could clearly see that those guns had been wiped clean and that some of their key parts were protected by oil. Although it was not the special kind of oil for guns, it was still better than nothing as they could extend the guns' lifespan longer.

"This gun is for you." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ picked up an automatic rifle and threw it to Yang Tianzhao.

Yang Tianzhao caught the gun and showed an excited expression. That gun was a Type 56 automatic rifle. Before doomsday, it could be considered as a simple model designed after the AK-47, which was powerful. Yang Tianzhao stared at the gun, but he pushed it away.

"Brother Jiang, such a valuable thing…I can't take it," Yang Tianzhao explained. He was deeply grateful.

"Don't worry and take it. It's useless for us, plus we got the information we wanted. This is your reward," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said

The Type 56 automatic rifle was an old-fas.h.i.+oned rifle, so it was indeed useless for s.h.i.+ Ying Squad. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was fair in meting out rewards or punishments, and he also needed Yang Tianzhao's help for the next few days.

 "Thank you, Brother Jiang." Yang Tianzhao didn't decline anymore and held the automatic rifle in his arms tightly. For him or for his mine, this automatic rifle was useful. Actually, for every ordinary person, such an automatic rifle was useful.

In Pan Zhu City, tall buildings were everywhere, with countless vines and unknown plants covering them. The sycamore trees in the streets were all tens of meters high. This kind of scene resembled the dinosaurs' era.

All the living things on the earth were extremely large. Even dragonflies were more than one meter long. Presently, some fierce battles were taking place in some large-scale supermarkets and underground parking lots.

Some parts of the streets were filled with mud. From time to time, some zombies and human bodies could be seen on the ground. It was the Battle Union's headquarters.

Although the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly, it was gloomy inside. Violent explosions came from time to time, but there was silence in the hall of the headquarters. A luxurious mahogany square table in the hall was filled with people. Only a chair on the right side was empty. A gloomy man was sitting in the chair. He was the leader of Battle Union, Chang Shengkai.

He was very handsome. When he was not talking, there was a kind of special resentment in his blood-red eyes, making him even more mysterious. The people in the other chairs were all District Chiefs and high-level personnel of Battle Union. They looked at Chang Shengkai's eyes with a hint of anxiety. They all knew that Chang Shengkai was silent because he was fuming in anger.

"You don't have anything to say to me? w.a.n.g Xifu and my uncle are dead. You have nothing to say?" Chang Shengkai finally opened his mouth, and his sharp and gloomy eyes slowly swept across the faces of the crowd. There was undisguised anger in his words.

His right hand's fingers were unhurriedly tapping at the redwood table. It was as if he was knocking on everyone's heart, which made them feel nervous.

"Your Excellency, we have to settle old scores!" A middle-aged mayor finally said under pressure. He beat the big table in front of him violently. "w.a.n.g Xifu and your uncle were killed, which means that all of Battle Union's members have lost face. The other groups in Pan Zhu City must be laughing at us. We have to kill them!"

"Yeah, we will find them and then torture them violently to death. Let the other groups feel Battle Union's strength."

"I support the 5th District's suggestion. Let our 4th District undertake the task of apprehending that group of strangers…"

Everyone started talking and showing their loyalty. However, Chang Shengkai's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his face was still gloomy. Chang Shengkai didn't want others to call him boss or leader, but Your Excellency.

Eventually, Chang Shengkai's eyes converged on his left hand, a one-eyed young man sitting in the first chair.

"Lonely Lion, what do you think?" Chang Shengkai asked.

The one-eyed young man, known as Lonely Lion, was the first district chief in Battle Union. He had yet to speak.

"Your Excellency, not long ago, I led the people of the first district to fight with the Falling Stars near the restricted area of Chongfu Road. We were about to completely occupy Chongfu Road when you summoned us for w.a.n.g Xifu and your uncle's deaths. I'm very sorry to hear that they died, but we must keep calm. As long as we concentrate our energy to occupy Chongfu Road, we can take complete control of those plants, and then we'll have more active bio-metal. This is the most important thing at the moment!" The one-eyed young man said slowly. He had been following Chang Shengkai for a quite long time. He could see some other things other than anger on Chang Shengkai's face.

Chang Shengkai would never show expressions of joy and pride on his face. If he seemed angry, it was to keep up appearances. No matter if it were the 18th District's Chief, w.a.n.g Xifu, or his uncle's death, he had to show an angry att.i.tude to the outside world. In fact, Chang Shengkai did not care about other people's lives and deaths, but the way those people died was a slap on Chang Shengkai's face; something he couldn't stand.

"Lonely Lion, your words are also reasonable, but they were my uncle and one of my trusted subordinates. No matter who they are, I will find and kill them," Chang Shengkai said slowly and then kept silent.

Everyone started looking at each other as it seemed that Chang Shengkai had shot down Lonely Lion's advice. However, Lonely Lion didn't say anything but slowly turned to look at a beautiful woman.

Opposite Chang Shengkai, a woman wearing a white dress and white lace gloves was sitting. This woman was beautiful, delicate and attractive. However, no leader dared to neglect her. Chang Shengkai also looked at her, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

The woman coughed twice, "Your Excellency Chang, I think all the opinions are very good." Her voice was soft, slow and sounded pleasant. "However, these opinions are more or less without-"

"Please continue to say." Chang Shengkai's eyes were light up, staring at this woman and asked.

"We have to avenge our subordinates, or else the other factions will underestimate us. Those that don't accept our rule may play some tricks, which will create some troubles for us. We should act swiftly and accurately. However, I don't suggest using our manpower to avenge our people. At present, we should aim at controlling Chongfu Road and occupying the road leading to the forbidden zone completely so that we can obtain more active bio-metals, which are critical to our future development."

"I think we can employ elite survivors of other forces, such as Toxin Squad, whose members are quite good at hunting. We should also put some pressure on Acalanatha to let us borrow his mutant dog. After all, our people were killed on his turf. As long as Your Excellency Chang gives the order, they will find and bring us that group of strangers…"

After saying that, the whole room became silent. And then Chang Shengkai's gloomy face showed a smile. "Good idea, Yunsha. Your advice is very good. We'll do what you said. Hahaha. I'll go and find Acalanatha at once."

Then the woman dressed in white said, "It is my honor to be able to be of help."

The other leaders knew that even though that woman looked weak, she could not be ignored. In fact, compared to them, this woman was more trusted by Chang Shengkai. Every time the woman's proposal was well-founded and thoughtful. Just because of her support, Chang Shengkai could slowly be successful in Pan Zhu City. In the beginning, the Falling Stars were the strongest force, but Battle Union caught up with them.

When Chang Shengkai had captured Ran Yunsha, they had all thought that she would simply become his plaything. None of them had expected that Ran Group's former princess would gain Chang Shengkai's appreciation by just relying on her quick wits and management skills. Chang Shengkai always asked for her opinion.

In spite of this, everyone still thought she was already Chang Shengkai's woman, and no one dared to force her anymore.

"Your Excellency Chang, you should do that as soon as possible. Find Acalanatha to borrow his mutant dog, which is quite good at finding things" Ran Yunsha said slowly.

"Well, I'll head there immediately. Find out that group of people and kill them!" Chang Shengkai stood up and put on his overcoat.

All the people started to leave.

Lonely Lion stood up slowly and was about to walk out, but a voice sounded from behind, "Chief Lonely lion, I remembered w.a.n.g Xifu had a piece of active metal…" Ran Yunsha said gently.

"I'll take it back." The Lonely lion nodded. He glanced at the delicate face of Ran Yunsha, but she turned and left right after. In his mind, Ran Yunsha didn't like to speak much. In the Battle Union, she was just like an orchid blooming alone.
