Chapter 908 You Are All Traitors!

Hearing Alex's words, Zhu Huang and the other men immediately became tense. It was now abundantly clear that they had underestimated the strength of the opponents by a lot.

Ever since the apocalypse began, they had been fighting vicious beasts and sometimes even humans non-stop, and they had all increased their levels, but the truth was that the people in front of them were much stronger.

This was no longer just an intuition. None of them were immune to bullets yet, and the opponent was. Just how high was their level to accomplish something like that? Above 5? Above 10?

That too, there were right now only 2 of them standing against them, and still, they were cornered. This was bad. Zhu Huan's face changed, but he was not done yet. After all, he had one more trump card left.

They might be weak, but the opponent also had weaklings amongst them. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and as long as these two tried to protect the others, the victory would be theirs because today, he was willing to go as far as it took.

"Stop right there. Don't you dare make another move! Otherwise, I will order my subordinates to slaughter everyone!" Zhu Huang shouted in his hoarse voice as his entire body trembled. It was not out of anger but out of nervousness which he tried not to show outside.

"By now, my men should have already infiltrated your base. One word from me and every last one of your guild members will be slaughtered. I don't want to harm anyone. We are from the military, and our only intention is to protect people, so don't force my hand!"

"Oh really?" Alex sneered. It looked like the bombshell redhead was not in the least bothered by his words. "You mean these subordinates?"

She clapped her hands loudly, and the next second, a person walked over to them from around a corner, dragging a group of people in military uniforms.

These people were clearly bound by something, but it was invisible to the eyes of Zhu Huang and the others, making them wary of the situation.

The only thing that they could see was the bruises covering the bodies of their men, along with severe burn marks. Also, their so-called advantage and strength, their firearms, were missing.

"Good work, Judah. I knew you would be the fastest." Alex smiled as she nodded at the tall guy dressed in a robe.

But just as she finished saying that, another person also walked over. This time it was Lan Deming who had arrived.

He was herding another group of men dressed in military attire, once again bruised and unarmed. And surprisingly, the number of men was even higher than the previous count.

"Oh! Not bad." Alex praised again and turned to look at the fallen general who was yet to stand up or even get a chance to. The poor guy was reeling from shock after getting one hit after another.

"You… you… aren't you the son of…?" Zhu Huang seemed to recognize Lan Deming. However, the other party narrowed his eyes and did not even acknowledge his presence.

Zhu Huang was not a fool. He might not have known that Lan Deming was also in this guild, but he had heard about the Crimson Abyss guild, and he also had gathered extensive intel about their guild members and how strong they were.

So why did he still go along with this mission? This was because he had a plan. He had, in fact, planned this operation only after taking everything into account.

The key was to operate covertly.

After managing to gather information from a person on the inside, they waited for the main members to go for their usual dungeon runs and only then acted.

Their plan was to capture the base before the main strong members of the guild returned back. This was a good plan. Especially without Liam, it was supposed to work 100%!

But right now, each and every capable member was standing right in front of their eyes. How was this possible? It was almost as if they knew their plans beforehand!

How did this happen? Did they also have a leak?

"Are you thinking what went wrong?" Alex laughed loudly, calling out the man's thoughts. She then wolf-whistled like a street thug, giving the poor military general another shock.

This was because the person who came out of hiding next was none other than Hao Yuze, the newest guild recruit.

Zhu Huang's heart instantly dropped. <.com>

How!!! His body shook in rage and anger. Not because he did not know about Hao Yuze. The minute the dog had betrayed them, he already knew about it and even sent men to tail him.

He knew everything, including his meeting with Liam and the fact that the other party rounded up some people and fled the military base without his permission.

However, he had already taken all of this into account.

He still had some men tailing this group of deserters. They hadn't yet reached the Crimson Abyss guild territory and were temporarily resting somewhere else. So there was no way for them to have arrived here.

It was his calculation that by the time they arrived at the base, they would once again come to face with the same military base they had fled from.

He was even looking forward to this sweet moment when he would get to punish these deserters with what they rightfully deserved.

But now… But now… everything had fallen apart! How?

Zhu Huang became maddened with fear, anger, and confusion. He was completely cornered now.

Hao Yuze had somehow tricked them and passed on all the information to the Crimson Abyss members. That was the only explanation. This was why everything had gone wrong, and this was why they had failed so miserably!

"Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! You are all traitors! You will pay for this act of treason! The government is not down yet, and when they find out what happened here, you will pay for everything!" He started to shout like a rabid dog.

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Alex laughed at the guy like a maniacal villain, enjoying the look of shock on his face.

Rey watched her and took a step back as he felt a chill creeping up his spine. "Sis, you are starting to act more and more like big bro Liam!" He rolled his eyes and murmured, not daring to say it out loud.

Alex ignored him and looked at Hao Yuze. "Go ahead. Tell him." She said with a big grin.

Hao Yuze nodded. "I knew you were tailing me all along. I purposefully left the group back and traveled here alone to set this all up for you." He shrugged. Doing something like this was no big deal for someone like him. The other party wanted to play him, but he played them instead.

Zhu Huang trembled. Now that he understood everything, he was able to see what had blinded him. It looked like, right from the beginning, all of his calculations had been terribly wrong. He bitterly smiled as he had no doubt what was going to happen next.

"I did not come here with the intention to kill anyone." He sighed and explained, but Alex did not let him talk. She raised her hand and stopped him right there and then.

"It's too late now. I already gave you a warning and a chance to leave this place with your life intact. It's not my fault that you did not take the chance." She shrugged.

Zhu Huang looked at the two ruthless foreigners, both of whom didn't look like they were going to budge from their stance. He then sighed and turned towards his own countrymen, Lan Deming and Hao Yuze.

"You both… Don't do this. They are outsiders, but I am still your leader, your own flesh and blood. This is treason. We have to keep the best interest of the country in our mind. You cannot let people from the outside run wild like this."

Hao Yuze sneered. "You mean raping those women repeatedly was done in the best interest of our country?"

"Don't call yourself a leader. The smallest of power went straight to your head. All you did was abuse your power and use us for your own benefit. You are not a leader. You are a no one."

Zhu Huang shook his head. "You are mistaking me. It was not my intention to torture those women."

"Our soldiers are working very hard, putting their lives on the line day in and day out. So it is the duty of the women to serve them well."

He sighed and continued righteously. "How could I be responsible if they did not understand this and pushed me to do things by force? This world... I am also trying to make sense of it, just like the rest of you. I am simply doing the best that I can."
