Armipotent-Novel

Chapter 359 - Visitors

"Guests from the neighboring city?" Tang Shaoyang borrowed his brows when he heard the term, "What they want?"

If Zhao Zhong called him, the guests would want something, or else why would Zhao Zhong call him.

"They want to see you," there was a pause in between before Zhao Zhong continued, "They wear military uniform, they come from SZ City's establishment."

"SZ City's establishment?" Tang Shaoyang repeated the word. He heard this somewhere, it was familiar to his ears.

Then his eyes brightened as he recalled this establishment. It was the establishment of the SZ City, where Yu Shun came from. Then he remembered that Flame Castle was also part of the SZ City Establishment.

"How many of them? Do they come to talk or fight?" At this point, the relationship between the two forces should be hostile. He had killed dozens of the Flame Castle's people, after all.

"Twenty-one, they come with armored vehicles. They said they want to talk with you," Zhao Zhong's tone was unsure too, "Should I drive them away?"

"Armored vehicle? Is it a tank?" From Origin's words, such technology should be destroyed by the system. He frowned when he heard this.

"No, it's just an armored car with a machine gun on it,"

It was not the fearful tank, but such a vehicle would bring people a big advantage. They could crush them with the car and shoot the evolved zombies with the machine. If it was before, he would treat these guests with caution.

Tang Shaoyang grinned all of a sudden as if he found a new toy to play with, 'I am bored with all this work, let's have a fun little bit, shall we?'

"Lead them to the main base and wait for further instruction," After saying that to Zhao Zhong, he called the others too. Since they had guests, they should welcome them.

A mischievous smile formed on his lips. Even though he had not met the one so-called guest, he was sure these people came up with something no good. Especially they had a conflict with one of their factions.

The east gate

Zhao Zhong was looking into the room through the glass. Inside the room, they were the guests he talked about.

Twenty-one people who wore military uniforms were sitting, talking to themselves. They were pretty calm and casual for people who looked for trouble.

'Maybe they really come to talk?' Zhao Zhong shrugged as he sat back on the chair. He told those people that he would inform his leader, so he would let them wait for a moment.

He was in the office of the east gate. There were twelve people on duty in the office, 6 TEIS members, and 6 Tarriors.

Tarriors would be in charge of defense while TEIS would proceed with the procedure to enter the base. They would data the newcomers or survivors.

While Tarriors were completely fine with the guests, TEIS Officers were quite tense. The guests were wearing military uniforms, they did not want to offend these people.

Especially after seeing the real armored vehicles with a machine gun in them. Imagining their bodies holed by the machine gun was enough to scare them.

"Sir Zhao, can you data them?" The Officer TEIS came over and asked for help.

"Me? That's not my work, you do it!" Zhao Zhong furrowed his brow and glared at the man.

Guo Xun, 34 years old, TEIS Officer. He volunteered to join TEIS as soon as Kang Jiayi announced the open recruitment. He thought this would be an easy job, but he was not expecting this to happen to him.

"B-but what if they refuse to give their information?" Guo Xun looked toward the group nervously. Those people were armed with guns too. He noticed that five of them had automatic rifles.

Even though the world had changed. People's fear of guns still remained there. The thought of fighting someone armed with guns never crossed their mind. It was the same for Guo Xun.

"If they refuse, they are not welcomed in this base. We will drive them away. Go do your job, Lord Shaoyang has agreed to meet with them but not until you finish your procedure!" Zhao Zhong ordered Guo Xun in a commanding tone.

Guo Xun let out a sigh inwardly. He did not want to piss Zhao Zhong too. Zhao Zhong was holding the Captain position in Tarrior, 100 men commander. Zhao Zhong's standing was much higher than him, it was not wise to piss off the opposite party.

Guo Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to calm down his nervousness. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Yan Kui was the one trusted by the leaders of the SZ Establishment to meet with Tang Shaoyang. He was trusted with a mission, and he was confident that he could complete the mission without a problem.

First of all, he was surprised by the steel wall. He was not expecting that there would be a wall, at all. Then he met with the guards, even though they were armed with cold weapons, he was surprised that the civilian establishment would be this organized.

Now he was asked to wait instead. Yan Kui did not mind waiting since maintaining a good relationship would benefit his mission.

Then he heard the door open. He turned toward the door, a man with a deep blue uniform came in. The man had a sword in his waist, holding something and a pen.

Yan Kui got up and approached the man, "Where's your leader?"

Guo Xun looked up and shook his head, "We are still waiting for our people to return, but before we could allow you to enter the base. You have to fill the guest's form."

Guo Xun showed the paper in his hand to Yan Kui. They were the first guests to visit the base. So this was the first time someone had to fill the form as the survivors came to find a place to live instead of a temporary visit.

This proposal was issued by Kang Jiayi and approved by Tang Shaoyang. They had to know all the people in their inner territory. That was the purpose of the guest form.

Yan Kui was surprised, not only he but the other soldiers were also surprised. Soon a frown formed on Yan Kui's forehead.

One of the soldiers lost his calm, "Do you know who we are?" It was the soldier with an automatic rifle. He reached toward Guo Xun, trying to grab Guo Xun's collar.

However, Guo Xun reacted quickly as he took two steps backward. He avoided the grab and had his hand on his sword. He was ready to draw the sword out if the opposite party pointed their guns at him.

The guest form and pen fell, the atmosphere inside the room instantly intensified. Yan Kui, however, quickly acted as he held his subordinate, "Stop!"

"But they…'' the soldier was about to say something, but Yan Kui cut him off, "I say stop!" He raised his voice, only then the soldiers stepped back.

"Do we need to fill this form to enter the establishment? We are soldiers from the SZ base and we come with a good intention," Yan Kui asked out.

"I am sorry, but I am just an officer who is doing his duty. Asking you to fill the form is one of my jobs," Guo Xun did not dare to release the grab of his sword as he replied.

At this moment, the door opened and Zhao Zhong entered the room. He was surprised that the scaredy-cat Guo Xun dared to hold his ground.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhong's rough voice questioned. The question was directed to Guo Xun and also the soldiers.

"I asked them to fill the guest form, but they got angry all of sudden," Guo Xun was relieved that Guo Xun came to help.

Yan Kui scanned Zhao Zhong. The man did not wear a uniform but plate armor instead. He had seen the man outside. From the interaction, Zhao Zhong was Guo Xun's superior.

"What if we don't fill the form!?" The soldier who tried to grab Guo Xun's collar earlier, questioning back unyieldingly.

"Easy, I will drive you guys out of our territory," Zhao Zhong shrugged casually, "If you want to visit our base, then follow the procedure."

"What if we force our way into your territory," another soldier spoke out with a smirk on his face. As he spoke, he tried to showcase his automatic rifle to intimidate Zhao Zhong.

To the soldiers' surprise, Zhao Zhong grinned. If it was before the Game, he would be afraid of these armed soldiers. But not anymore, not when he had the power to fight back.

"Easy, I will force you out, even my life is at stake," he was talking about his life casually, it was as if he was not afraid of death, "But one thing for sure, you guys will be dead for sure!"

Then Zhao Zhong took out a broad sword from his inventory. The sword was about the same as his height, shiny and intimidating.

He did not use a heavy sword before, but because of his Berserker Class, he was given this broad sword by Tang Shaoyang. One of the treasures from the sixth gate of the Survival Game.

Zhao Zhong was showing a stance that he did not fear the soldier. He was not afraid of the gun as he showed his weapon, meaning he was ready for the fight.

Yan Kui was left with a hard choice. He thought that by bringing up that he was from the military force, he would get an easy entry. He was not expecting the early confrontation.
