The soldiers received their orders, each one energized as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. It was only thanks to Xiao Wei that they managed to maintain their composure and not reveal any signs of their excitement. As for the elderly, women, and children, they remained in the makeshift camp; after all, returning home would only mean facing starvation. Moreover, even if they didn't return, Commander Yu would assume these people had perished outside and would not care at all. Thus, their presence posed no real problem.
Wang Chao pulled Xiao Wei aside and said, "You know, Xiao Wei, I could escape even in front of an army of fifty. After all, I have a mutation skill." As he spoke, a blade formed in his hand, startling Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei patted his chest and replied, "I have my reasons for this. First of all, your skill shouldn't be revealed in front of outsiders. At the very least, you can't be the first one to show it. Don't forget what happened in the capital; if it weren't for the Zhang Family's timely intervention, you could have lost your head just because of those clueless crowds."
Wang Chao nodded, recalling how things had unfolded in the capital. Indeed, if that report from the Academy hadn't arrived just in time—just a second later and he might have been dead. The thought sent a chill down his spine; it was true what they said about the early bird getting shot.
Xiao Wei continued, "That's one aspect. The second is that rather than appearing as a savior, it's better to blend in as one of them."
Wang Chao did not quite understand this point.
Seeing Wang Chao's confused expression, Xiao Wei explained further: "If you show up and defeat Commander Yu right away, what do you think will happen?"
"Naturally, everyone would be happy and go about their business," Wang Chao replied.
"Wrong!" Xiao Wei said firmly. "As an outsider appearing in the Safe Zone and killing someone before leaving, people would only think you're the next Commander Yu. But if you integrate with the people of the Safe Zone and become one of them, then this Safe Zone will naturally belong to you."
"But I don't want the Safe Zone..." Wang Chao protested.
Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "The reason I don't oppose leaving the capital is twofold: first, we still have team members to find; second, relying on others is not a long-term solution. But now we have a ready-made Safe Zone right in front of us—why shouldn't we take it? Even if we find other team members later on, where will we go? Are we supposed to continue wandering aimlessly like we are now?"
Xiao Wei's barrage of questions left Wang Chao speechless. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't find the words. Xiao Wei pressed on: "Moreover, in a world like this, we need protection from powerful individuals like you and Zhang Fusheng. Think about those people in Yucheng or those in small towns—who wants to drift around? And if you can take control of this Safe Zone, won't it make it easier to find Big Brother Daqiang later? We would have more manpower."
Wang Chao nodded, surprised that Xiao Wei had thought so much. Perhaps on the first day of leaving the capital, Xiao Wei had already planned for the future. However, upon arriving in Jing City and encountering such a fortuitous event, Xiao Wei seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Early the next morning, Liu Jie arrived at the front of the makeshift camp with twenty people. By the time Wang Chao emerged from the tent, they were already lined up neatly, waiting for him and Xiao Wei. Upon seeing Wang Chao come out, Liu Jie stood at attention and shouted, "Salute!" In an instant, all twenty men saluted in unison. Just twenty men displayed such spirit; Wang Chao thought to himself, if he had a troop of twenty thousand...
Some things were not suitable for Xiao Wei's age to say to these twenty-odd men. Fortunately, Wang Chao had already understood Xiao Wei's plan, so he took charge of assigning tasks this time. Wang Chao spoke up, "Having unexpectedly arrived in Jing City and learned from Liu Jie about Commander Yu's atrocities, it is truly intolerable."
"As fellow soldiers, we cannot allow such scum to exist in our ranks. Today, we vow to eliminate these traitors!" Wang Chao declared.
"Eliminate the traitors!" the crowd echoed.
"Good! Man should not fear danger. I know you have long harbored a desire to resist but have been hindered by a lack of weapons. Tang Feng," Wang Chao called out.
"Here!" Tang Feng stepped forward.
"Your mission is to infiltrate the Safe Zone and lead these twenty passionate men into the Armory to steal weapons. Before the main operation begins, quickly and discreetly establish the route for our attack. Do you understand?" Wang Chao instructed.
"Understood!" Tang Feng replied.
"Liu Jie!" Wang Chao called.
"Here!" Liu Jie also stepped forward.
Wang Chao nodded and said, "Your task is to take me before Commander Yu so that I can carry out the execution. When I make my move, you will fire three shots in quick succession to signal that the operation has begun. Remember, for you twenty men, three shots will be the signal!"
"Understood!" Liu Jie shouted as well.
"Aunt Huang!" Wang Chao called out again.
"Here!" Aunt Huang, the middle-aged woman from yesterday, replied with a strong accent.
No one found her pronunciation amusing. Wang Chao said seriously, "Aunt Huang, your task is to calm the crowd in the Safe Zone after our operation. Remember, it can only be after the operation. Do not leak any information about what we are doing. The Shen Sisters will assist you in your mission."
"I understand!" Aunt Huang replied.
"Good," Wang Chao continued. "You all move out first. Remember, do not return at the same time; you need to infiltrate in batches. Our main assault will be around three in the afternoon. Go prepare!" As soon as Wang Chao finished speaking, those who received the orders hurriedly left to prepare for the elimination of Commander Yu.
However, Wu Wan'er and her group were not assigned any tasks. Wang Chao told them, "Your mission is to keep an eye on the helicopter and supplies. Although there aren't many Zombies in this mining area, it can still be dangerous; there are many dogs around here, so be careful. I've asked Little Wolf to stay behind as well."
Everyone understood that this task was essentially Wang Chao giving them a way out to avoid awkwardness. They also realized that if they insisted on joining the mission to eliminate Commander Yu, it would only create chaos for everyone else. Ultimately, it was because their own strength was insufficient and they needed protection.
Without further ado, they waited until two in the afternoon when Wang Chao waved at Liu Jie and said, "Let's go. Facing Commander Yu head-on will just be the two of us. He's a Silver Upper Tier individual; even I can't match him. Aren't you afraid?"
Liu Jie shook his head and replied, "If I were afraid of losing my head over a scar, I wouldn't have come looking for you."
