My MCV and Doomsday-Chapter 572 - The Sense of Bleeding
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
All one could hear were anguished screams and the sound of bodies slamming down the ground. Not only Zhang Mingze’s members could not block the attacks, but half of them had already fallen dead.
In a regimental battle, the key to win was gaining the momentum. Upon losing that chance, it would be that party’s loss. As long as Ran Xiyu and Jiang Zhuying cooperated with each other, it would be quite easy for the other members to get rid of their opponents, who were not even close as powerful as they were.
“Wait! Wait!” shouted someone. Unfortunately, Ying and Ling ignored the pleading shouts and kept killing them one by one.
At some point, Zhang Mingze broke free from the electrical net engulfing him, but he was totally shocked by the hellish scene before him. The bodies of his comrades were lying all around him. He was the only one left from his team!
At that moment, Jiang Liushi raised his gun and shot two times after sparing a glance at the distance. Nobody knew why Jiang Liushi shot two times, so they all looked toward that direction confusedly. Then, they saw splattered blood on the walls of two villas nearly 100 meters away from them.
On the roof of one of the two villas was a man with a sniper rifle in hand and a huge hole where his chest was supposed to be. After letting out his last breath, he fell down on the ground like a heavy sack of potatoes.
The splattered blood on the walls was proof that Jiang Liushi had killed the two snipers. Upon realizing that, everyone was astonished, Undoubtedly, Jiang Liushi’s sharpshooting skills had been polished to an unfathomable level!
As such, everyone discarded any thoughts of fighting back. It was useless. The most terrified of all was naturally Zhang Mingze as he was the one that had sent the two snipers there. He had heard that the Shi Ying Squad battle prowess was abnormal but never had it crossed his mind that his team would get annihilated before the battle had even started.
Suddenly, Zhang Mingze noticed that Jiang Liushi was aiming at him with his sniper rifle. What kind of feeling was that? Zhang Mingze was usually the one pointing his gun at weaklings, not the other way around. The roles were reversed now.
Zhang Mingze almost stopped breathing while a bead of cold sweat ran down his cheek. No matter how mentally strong one was, they would still feel hard to accept the scene before their eyes. It was the extreme opposite of what was supposed to happen. If a group were to be surrounded by a great army, that group would run away as fast as possible or die under a dense hail of bullets. But not only did Jiang Liushi reverse the situation, but he also did it in the most perverse and extravagant way.
“What are you going to do? I’m the Deputy Commander of Qionghai Military District. Currently, I’m the supreme commander. If you kill me, all the soldiers will attack you. Do you think that you can fight against all of them?”
Jiang Liushi had completely crushed Zhang Mingze’s confidence, and he could only rely on his numerous soldiers to protect him.
“Deputy Commander of Qionghai’s Military District?” Jiang Liushi sneered. “At best, you can be considered a local warlord. In other words, you’re a mere bandit. You sure have guts to say that you’re from the military!” said Jiang Liushi while looking at the soldiers. His loud voice reverberated throughout the whole villa.
“Most of you were soldiers before the virus outbreak, right? What are your responsibilities? You should have protected our home in this transitional period! If the government let you down, you should have acted like true soldiers, helping others in need instead of doing shameful things,” said Jiang Liushi.
“As far as I know, not only did you not protect your country, but you also rendered your services to an unknown organization. You don’t even know who is behind it and what they do. Did life after doomsday become more enjoyable? Even a person like Qin Hongfang is controlling all the bars in Qionghai City. He is just a playboy, who has ties with some leaders of your so-called military. Are you aware of this?” said Jiang Liushi while walking to kick Qin Hongfang who was prostrating on the ground.
“Ah!” cried Qin Hongfang in pain. Blood was dripping from his lips, while his teeth were covered with mud and blood. Even his face was full of bruises. He never expected that Jiang Liushi would use his achievements as an egregious example.
Soldiers had a sense of honor. If they abandoned that sense of honor, they might be to enjoy a happy life, but to what cost? Qionghai City’s soldiers had nothing to feel proud of anymore. Hence, Jiang Liushi’s words moved their cold hearts.
“Do not talk nonsense. We are a regular branch of the military! We have the Storm Squad, which is the biggest military-grade team in the South. How dare you to call us warlords? Ha! Please enlighten me, who is running the government now and where is the so-called government? Your arguments are ridiculous. Let me tell you that the organization backing us will govern us all in the future!” said Zhang Mingze.
“Oh, Storm Squad? I almost forgot about it. Commander Wu, who is the leader of the Storm Squad, asked me to hand you all a letter. To be frank, what remains of the Storm Squad were unwilling to be partners with you all. They want to redeem themselves and act like soldiers again,” said Jiang Liushi while waving a piece of paper.
“Initially, he wanted to retire, but he didn’t really want to retire. He just wanted break ties with you all. His soldier spirit was rekindled, and he no longer wants to work under or with you.” The resignation report was in Jiang Liushi’s hands. The Storm Squad had indeed not come back again since they had left a long time ago.
“Is Chief Wu gone?”
“Really? The Storm Squad isn’t here anymore?”
In the soldiers’ eyes, Zhang Mingze was not one of their own, but Commander Wu was totally different. He was a well-respected official. Moreover, the Storm Squad was Qionghai City’s main force and pride. How could they accept the sudden news?
“I’m not telling this because I’m afraid of you. Your group is powerful, but I also have my team. Since we could arrive here after being surrounded and attacked by the Storm Squad, it wouldn’t be tough for us to flee. I just don’t want you to sacrifice your lives in vain,” said Jiang Liushi.
Many soldiers became silent, and even Zhang Mingze’s trembled involuntarily, after hearing that.
Zhang Mingze wanted to say something, but someone beat him to the punch. “Brothers, what he said is right! We are soldiers! Not their tools! If we need to sacrifice our lives, we’ll do it for the right reason!”
“Commander Wu has already left, so why should we stay here?”
Zhang Mingze looked at the man that shouted and noticed that he was an ordinary soldier. But immediately after, more and more soldiers stepped forward and voice their agreement.
