When Li Zhen saw them a hundred meters away, the other party didn't notice him. Because the command behind this barricade seems to be in disarray. He could see in the darkness of the night a man with the rank of lieutenant trying to contact his superiors via a communicator, but in vain - no one on the other end responded.

The man slammed the communicator and scolded in a low voice.

The content of his complaint made Li Zhen feel a little unexpected, and when he thought about it, it was reasonable. Because he first greeted all the female relatives of Shangguan who he did not meet in Wanzhou dialect, and the subsequent content was probably indignant at their inaction.

The fires that had started before were clearly visible for kilometers and now that they had subsided, one can still imagine the devastating damage caused. Drinking water along the shores of Taizi Lake is still guaranteed, so it is one of the settlements of civilians. In such a place, such a terrible devastation was not allowed for the army to enter the rescue - as long as humanity was not extinguished, they would probably react in the same way as him.

However, the field commander does not seem to be the only lieutenant. The other man was frowning and talking to him. The man had a white rim on his hat and a white shield on his left arm—it was a military police captain.

The captain's voice was low, as if he didn't want the soldiers to hear the two of them arguing. But after he said a few words, the lieutenant's voice became louder again, only this time he began to accuse the gendarmerie captain of being "inhumane".

Li Zhen stood a hundred meters away from them and listened quietly for a while.

In fact, both sides have their own positions. However, the position of the gendarmerie captain was based on the orders of his superiors, and at the same time there was no disguise in his words about a certain superiority and disregard for life. He did not know if this was due to the after-effects of so many years of dictatorship.

So he lifted his feet and walked on. When I walked more than 30 meters in front of the barricade. The distraught guards finally spotted him.

The argument was put on hold for the time being, and a series of bolt pulls rang out, mixed with loud shouts, for him to stop immediately. However, there was also a considerable degree of vigilance in these shouts, and it was obvious that the other party realized that this neatly dressed guy who came out of the war zone was not an ordinary person.

But Li Zhen still walked over on his own.

And no one fired a shot. There was even a look of "sure enough" in the eyes of some of the soldiers - Li Zhen guessed that these people thought they were those aliens. This meant that there were far more xenomorphs in the city than he had anticipated.

When he reached the barricade, the gendarmerie captain stretched out his hand and stood up, his tone serious but with a hint of respect: "Please identify yourself." ”

Li Zhen stopped, swept his gaze over the faces of the dozen or so people one by one with an expressionless face, and finally stopped at the lieutenant's body. Then he calmly asked, "What's your name?" ”

Listening to his words, the expressions on everyone's faces became quite complicated. Because most aliens are not good at communication - the alienation of the body inevitably affects the vocal cords. And the vocal cords are not effective in increasing combat effectiveness. So in that irreversible process, it was almost discarded as a worthless organ. As a result, most of the xenos can only let out a beastly howl, and even the higher-order xenos can only communicate through a limited number of scales.

However, his pronunciation is clear and fluent.

But in the current situation, no one is acting rashly.

Because of something called "momentum". This thing does not refer to how tall and stout a person is born. It's about bringing a lot of factors together. to be able to form such an invisible sense of oppression.

For example, some people's preconceived ways of thinking, such as the uncertainties caused by the current objective environment, and such as the unusually calm and condescending tone of the speaker himself.

This "momentum" offsets some of the disadvantages brought about by Li Zhen's young face. The lieutenant officer was also slightly stunned. He frowned and looked at Li Zhen, then at the gendarmerie captain on the side—the face of this one was quite ugly.

Because Li Zhen seemed to completely ignore him and focus his attention on the other person.

So the lieutenant thought a little. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go against his original intentions, and actually replied: "My name is Zhong Siwei." ”

Li Zhen nodded. Then he said, "Okay. Lieutenant, from now on, you are the commander of the temporary garrison in Wanzhou. I will promote you to major at once. ”

The faces of the lieutenant and the captain changed at the same time—from puzzlement to surprise, and from surprise to laughter. It's just that there is a faint anger in this smile.

Because they realize that they seem to be being tricked.

The young man in front of him may have been a psychopath, or he had survived hiding somewhere, but he was stupefied by this sudden catastrophe. Only in this way can it be explained that he was able to ignore the muzzle of the black hole and walked over calmly, and said something like this-

"I'll promote you to major at once."

The gendarmerie captain then laughed unceremoniously. And the lieutenant's face was a little red. His two thick eyebrows were twisted together, and he was about to wave his hand in annoyance to order the soldier to drive the man away in front of him.

Then he heard the next sentence.

"I'm Li Zhen."

The name "Li Zhen" is used by many people in the empire. But just like the name "Li Bai" is also used by many people, once it is mentioned, it is only possible to think of that one-

That Li Zhen from the Secret Service.

The lieutenant's eyes widened. And the captain seems to be choking on his own saliva. He coughed a few times in embarrassment before immediately taking two steps back, looked at Li Zhen's face, and squinted his eyes at the soldier next to him, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, a drop of rain fell on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

At first a few drops, then a rush. The bean-sized rain clicked on the metal roof of the chariot with a crisp sound. Then the sound quickly joined together and turned into a continuous "whoosh" sound. The rain that had not been seen for a long time, the pouring rain poured down in a matter of seconds, and the sky and the earth instantly became white and foggy.

A long drought is a nectar. However, no one was happy about the heavy rain. Because they found that a peculiar blank area had formed around the young man who called himself Li Zhen. Once the raindrops fell within a meter of him, they seemed to drip on the red-hot iron plate, evaporating and vaporizing in an instant, and they could not get him wet.

Then he saw Li Zhen stretch out his arm, soak his hands with the rain, and wipe them on his face.

So the previous plain face disappeared, and what appeared in front of me was a ...... The face that has made them feel exceptionally clear in recent days.

The owner of this face had slaughtered nearly a thousand regular troops in Yuzhou the other day - a well-formed, well-equipped regular army that had no intention of retreating at first.

And before that, five years ago, he had destroyed an entire bustling city in a battle.

His name is Li Zhen, a major general of the empire.

So what does that mean......

The lieutenant gasped and subconsciously looked at the ruins in the distance.

Then he withdrew his gaze in trepidation, feeling a little white in his head. It looks like there's a chalkboard eraser just rubbed past.

"That's right. There's a class there, but I've disposed of it. Li Zhen smiled faintly. But he didn't know what the smile meant in the eyes of others.

"This means that some people in the Wanzhou government have not only committed treason, but also crimes against humanity. Now that I've come here, I'll have to take care of it. ”

He strode across the barricades.

This time, the dozen or so men behind the barricades hurriedly retreated to both sides, maintaining a respectful and frightened silence.

Li Zhen turned his head and glanced at the lieutenant who had retreated behind him: "What?" What are you doing stunned? You are now the commander of the Provisional Garrison. Aren't you thinking about saving people? Now I command you to come with me and pull up a team. ”

The lieutenant opened his mouth, and his Adam's apple stirred. Two seconds later, he wiped his face fiercely, raised his feet and hands, saluted a military salute, and shouted loudly in the rain: "Yes! ”

Li Zhen nodded, turned to look at the military police captain with a pale face, and said in a deep voice: "Be kind." ”

The captain whispered, "Yes, yes." ”

"Then now you are under the control of Major Zhong. Gendarme, not for you. Let's start with the privates. ”

“…… Be. ”

Putting together a team seems to be a little more cumbersome than you think. But only "some".

Heavy rain poured into this long-thirsty land. Unfortunately, it is not only rain that seeps into the soil, but also some blood. There are always some people who are stubborn or have a hint of luck. However, this insistence pales in the face of the force that suppresses everything.

The urban area of Wanzhou is not as good as that of Chongqing, and they walked along the road, and after gathering nearly 100 people, they entered another prosperous urban area. This is where the former general's office building is located.

But the building was empty, and even the guards were gone. In fact, many "high-ranking officials" have fled in a hurry, leaving behind an empty city with no soldiers. Li Zhen has no interest in that kind of trash fish - the grass on the wall is always killed, and his time is even more precious.

The only thing he did was to "promote" a few people recommended by Zhong Siwei. It may have been arbitrary and rash, but he at least knew that the newly promoted major still had a conscience. In this kind of world, "conscience" is already a precious thing.

He was originally ready to open another killing ring in Wanzhou. But he overestimated the psychological quality of many people and underestimated the wisdom of many people. In fact, many people know exactly what the origin of some of the people who frequently haunt the "General's Mansion" is, and they also know who is most likely to trigger the earth-shattering battle that took place in the distance tonight.
