Colonel Cheng Feng took a sharp breath, and then his face instantly transformed into one of ecstasy!
What does Suicheng need the most right now?
Guns? Artillery?
No, no, no, it's bullets!
During a Mutant Beast Tide, Suicheng's various ammunition was nearly depleted!
Guns?
Currently, in all of Suicheng, there is an average of one handgun for every five people, and one Automatic Rifle for every twenty people. Even Machine Guns and Sniper Rifles have been picked up by some, but they are few in number; most have been confiscated by the remaining troops of Suicheng.
But what use is having guns?
The most important thing right now is still bullets!
Without bullets, the hundreds of soldiers in Suicheng are just shells; their combat effectiveness is practically nonexistent. They are even reluctant to fire bullets now. Colonel Cheng Feng had no choice but to issue a strict order:
Unless it’s a matter of life and death, they can only engage in hand-to-hand combat and cannot fire their weapons!
The bullets brought by Shen Yuan made him incredibly envious; he almost wanted to pounce on them and grab those bullets for himself!
“Lieutenant Colonel Shen Yuan, you definitely can’t use all these bullets yourself. What the troops need the most right now is ammunition. How about you contribute a portion of them and exchange it directly for points? You know that points and military merits coexist now. If you have enough points, you can be directly promoted to Colonel!” Colonel Cheng Feng's eyes sparkled as he looked at the truckload of bullets, as if he were gazing at a beautiful woman!
“Well, let’s talk about this later,” Shen Yuan replied calmly. “You and I are both members of the Standing Committee of Suicheng. We are discussing matters concerning the entire Suicheng, and there are two Second Lieutenants present; it wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?”
Swish!
Zhang Yanjie and Diao Long's expressions changed drastically in an instant!
This was a clear indication that they were being driven away!
What did this mean?
It meant that Shen Yuan had not forgiven them, and they could still be crushed by Shen Yuan at any moment!
"Damn it, Shen Yuan, you..." The hot-tempered Diao Long was about to explode, but Zhang Yanjie let out a cold snort, launching a mental attack that left Diao Long dazed.
"Diao Long! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!" Zhang Yanjie whispered sharply, then quickly turned to Shen Yuan with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Shen Yuan, we truly know we were wrong! Please tell us what we need to do for you to forgive us? Even if you want me to give you all my firearms and ammunition, I will accept it! Better to live than die!"
"Really?" Shen Yuan glanced at Zhang Yanjie. Seeing him nod, he turned to Diao Long and said indifferently, "And you?"
At this moment, Diao Long had already recovered from his daze.
He wasn't foolish; now that he was calm, he instantly regretted his earlier recklessness and shot a grateful look at Zhang Yanjie. He knew that if Zhang Yanjie hadn't attacked him just now, he would have been dead at Shen Yuan's hands, and no one would seek revenge for him—not even Jinling.
A regular second-tier Evolver versus a terrifying king of Evolvers—who was more important?
It was obvious!
Seeing Shen Yuan's cold expression made Diao Long shiver. He quickly forced a smile, bowed slightly, and apologized: "Um, Lieutenant Colonel Shen Yuan, it was all my fault! Just tell me what you want; I will give anything! As long as you spare my life, I will follow your orders from now on! You say the word, and I won't dare disobey a single one!"
Shen Yuan had no intention of dealing with Zhang Yanjie and Diao Long.
In fact, if these two hadn't come looking for him, he would have forgotten about them entirely.
Would a fierce tiger care about the provocation of a rabbit?
Would a dragon care about the shortcomings of a small snake?
What a trivial matter!
But now that they had come to him, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered that these two actually had something he needed. He said calmly, "Alright, you will hand over all your firearms and ammunition to the Suicheng Security Force, and that will count as my points. Also, take out the Apophis Meteorite Fragments you have!"
Meteor Fragments!
For Shen Yuan, this was the most important thing because it was the substance that could promote rapid evolution and could be used to activate statues.
Shen Yuan still had the Manjushri Statue and Guanyin Statue that had not been activated yet; what he lacked the most was the Apophis Meteorite Fragments!
"This... okay!" Diao Long was taken aback, but Zhang Yanjie had already taken out the Meteor Fragments without hesitation. He quickly reacted and took out his Meteor Fragments as well, handing them over to Shen Yuan together.
No matter how important the Meteor Fragments were, they were not more important than their lives! If they lost their lives, what use would the Meteor Fragments be?
In any case, whether they gave them or not, these two pieces of Meteor Fragments already belonged to Shen Yuan. The only difference was whether they handed them over voluntarily or if he took them after killing them!
"Is this all?" Shen Yuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
The two pieces of Meteor Fragments were only the size of soybeans, and there weren't many left. Together, they could probably only activate a statue of Hengha Erjiang level.
"Better than nothing," Shen Yuan said as he handed them to Chen Letian and Xu Lixing.
These few Meteor Fragments were of no use to him. What he needed at the very least were fragments the size of a thumb. In fact, to activate the Manjushri Statue, he would probably need at least fragments the size of an egg. As for the Guanyin Statue, without fragments as big as a fist, it was not worth thinking about!
"Are... are these for me?" Xu Lixing was stunned, completely unable to believe his eyes!
Such precious things were actually given to him?
He knew what Meteor Fragments were and that they could promote rapid evolution in the body. However, he also understood how precious they were; before this, Shen Yuan had only given Chi Qinghua a small piece.
It would be impossible for him to say he wasn't envious, but he knew there was no need to be, as he had enough Mutated Beast Meat and mutated vegetables to eat every day. His evolution speed had been maintained at a level close to his body's limits, and even with Meteor Fragments, it wouldn't be any faster!
So now that Shen Yuan had given him a small piece of Meteor Fragments, how could he not be excited?
In contrast, Chen Letian was much calmer.
"Wow, thank you, boss! Boss is amazing! I love you, boss!" Chen Letian carefully stuffed the Meteor Fragments into his pocket, his face full of excitement.
"Alright, you can leave now," Shen Yuan said coldly.
Upon hearing Shen Yuan's dismissal, Zhang Yanjie and Diao Long quickly left.
"Lt. Colonel Shen Yuan, what is so important that Zhang Yanjie and the others must not know? Is it that serious?" Colonel Cheng Feng frowned, sensing that something big was about to happen.
He recalled what he had just said about Shen Yuan being the only King Level Evolver near Suicheng and noticed a change in Shen Yuan's expression: "Did you encounter another King Level Evolver? In Pengcheng?"
"In Pengcheng!" Shen Yuan replied flatly. "Moreover, he is a Zombie King commanding a million Zombies! More importantly, he has already killed the Golden Mane Lion and the Platinum Serpent Dragon! He will soon take down another Zombie King! Aside from the possible King-Class Mutant Beast in Yunlong Lake, he will soon be the true ruler of Pengcheng!"
Shen Yuan looked into Colonel Cheng Feng's eyes, his expression serious: "If he leads a million Zombies to attack Suicheng, there will be no way to counter him unless nuclear weapons are used! Even if Suicheng had ten King Level Evolvers, it wouldn't be possible! Colonel Cheng Feng, make your plans early!"
