Chapter 141: Use Strict Measures in Chaotic Times!
Thump!
As Zhou Santong and Liu Yang fell to the ground, the Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department, Luo Hong, who had been watching the battle from inside the office building, also felt weak in the legs and sat down heavily on the office chair behind her.
"They were defeated so quickly?!"
"Why are they so strong?!"
"They are clearly just five or six-year-old children, how can they have the cultivation strength of a Grandmaster?!"
"Why is this happening? Why is it like this!"
"This shouldn't be the case..."
This middle-aged woman, who appeared to be in her forties, still had a charming demeanor and even looked somewhat familiar. At this moment, her eyes were fixed on the two headless bodies downstairs that were still bleeding, her face pale as she muttered to herself.
She never expected that these two little girls who came from the capital city would be so powerful.
Even the two most powerful Grandmasters in Longhai City were no match for them!
Moreover, the two of them couldn't even last three minutes under their hands before their heads were cut off!
It's terrifying!
She had calculated to let Wei Shuangxi follow and track them, find out the true envoy behind the two little girls, and then capture them all at once.
Now it seems that it was completely wishful thinking, a dead end!
They couldn't even deal with the two little girls who were pushed to the forefront. If the big shots behind the little girls came out, wouldn't they die even faster?!
And Wei Shuangxi, who still hasn't returned to report, is obviously in grave danger!
"Director, while there's still time, let's escape quickly. If we don't leave now, it may be too late!"
At this moment, two bodyguards standing behind Luo Hong reminded her.
While those two fierce little girls haven't come knocking on the door yet, they still have a chance to run away.
Joke, even Zhou Lao and Liu Zong died under their blades, if they don't escape, how can they still have their lives?
Escape?
Luo Hong shook her head silently.
It's too late, they can't escape!
One of those little girls is a Grandmaster. Under the watchful eye of a Grandmaster, who among them can escape and survive?
Moreover, with such an incident happening, the true envoy behind the two little girls will definitely show up.
How could he let these traitors live and leave?
In fact, from the moment they started plotting against the envoy, from the moment they coveted the treasures on the envoy's body, they were already digging their own graves!
As the Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department in Longhai City, Luo Hong is well aware of the methods the Military Affairs Headquarters uses to deal with traitors.
"It's too late, too late!"
"Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, I'll go first, as for you... good luck!"
After speaking, Luo Hong's mind moved, and the internal energy in her dantian suddenly reversed and rushed straight into her heart.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Luo Hong's body collapsed, completely devoid of breath.
The two bodyguards behind her were dumbfounded!
Director Luo actually took her own life?!
Is it necessary to be so decisive, so resolute?
You're a peak Golden Body Realm expert, even if you can't beat those two girls outside, don't you have the courage to escape?
You died so decisively, but what about us small soldiers?!
"Tsk! She's decisive!"
Liu Zimo also noticed the unexpected turn of events and appeared directly in the office. Looking at Luo Hong, who had completely lost her life force, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"If only you knew, why bother in the first place!"
"Instead of being a Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department, you had to become a rebel, you had to provoke our master and disciple. Tell me, if you don't die, who will die?"
Unfortunately, this woman's self-destruction was too sudden, Liu Zimo didn't even have time to bind her, and he missed out on a good opportunity.
"Who are you?!"
Seeing Liu Zimo suddenly appear in front of them, the bodyguards were startled, quickly retreating and asking in a trembling voice.
However, their question was answered with a finger pointing in mid-air.
Puff!
The force entered their brains, and the two guards instantly fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Master!" "Master!"
Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao also arrived at the same time. Seeing Zhou Hong, who was already dead in the office chair, the two little girls immediately understood the cause of her death.
"She actually severed her own heart meridians and died. She really got off easy!"
"Enough, when a person dies, debts are settled. Don't be angry anymore."
Liu Zimo whispered to the two girls:
"Now go outside and gather all the officers above the rank of company commander and the guards with cultivation above the Iron Bone Realm in the main hall on the first floor."
A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the Military Affairs Department cannot be without a director for a day.
With Luo Hong's death, the Military Affairs Department was left without a leader, and it was certain to fall into internal strife.
And once the Military Affairs Department was in chaos, it was hard to guarantee that the local forces in the city would not have any ideas and would not stir up trouble in the city, causing chaos.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing a major riot and endangering the safety of millions of citizens in the city, they had to stabilize the situation in the Military Affairs Department and the entire city of Longhai before leaving.
So, it was really troublesome.
Why couldn't Luo Hong just live well? Why did she have to seek death on her own?
While pondering, Xiao Feihong and the others had already gathered the officers and elite warriors from the Military Affairs Department and various camps.
After witnessing the extremely powerful strength of the two little girls, everyone in the Military Affairs Department was silent.
It wasn't just that they didn't dare to resist or were afraid of death.
It was also because they were very clear in their hearts that these two were special envoys sent from the capital city. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were their superiors.
Moreover, the Heaven Grade martial arts techniques that had just been released from the military arsenal were brought to them by the special envoys, who had gone through hardships and dangers to deliver them across thousands of kilometers.
As a result, instead of being grateful, Director Zhou was thinking about the treasures on their bodies.
Such greedy and despicable behavior not only made the special envoys unhappy, but even the local military officials felt embarrassed.
Normally, Zhou Santong and Liu Yang and the others could do as they pleased in the Military Affairs Department and the city. After all, their cultivation strength was there, and they had a good relationship with Director Zhou. As long as they could help the Military Affairs Department defend the city and protect the people, continuously exterminate the demonic beasts outside the city, and enjoy some privileges, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, they absolutely should not have targeted the special envoys from the capital city!
What was the difference between doing this and directly rebelling and establishing their own country?
"Master, everyone is here!"
Seeing the master arrive, Xiao Feihong quickly reported respectfully:
"Except for a few people who wanted to escape, all the officers and Iron Bone Realm warriors are here."
"Well done!"
Liu Zimo nodded slightly, and did not ask about the fate of those who tried to escape. Instead, he raised his head indifferently and looked at the military officials standing in the hall.
Swish!
The originally noisy hall instantly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked up at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of the two little envoys, feeling uneasy and trembling.
After hearing the little envoys affectionately call this person "Master," everyone's hearts trembled even more.
If the two little envoys could easily kill Zhou Santong and Liu Yang, who were at the Martial Ancestor Realm, then wasn't their master even more powerful?
They had always said that the Military Affairs Department in the capital city would never send two little girls who were only five or six years old to act as envoys.
Sure enough.
Behind the two little envoys, there was an even more powerful master supporting them.
However, for some reason, this special envoy did not appear directly in the Military Affairs Department, but let his two disciples come out first to pave the way.
Was it to train his disciples?
Or did the special envoy already see that Director Zhou and the others had ulterior motives, so he set a trap and waited for Director Zhou and the others to fall into it?
"My surname is Liu, Liu Zimo!"
"I am the invited martial arts consultant of the Military Affairs Department in the capital city!"
Liu Zimo made a simple self-introduction.
When he spoke, he deliberately revealed the consultant badge hanging on his chest.
"Those among you who are guards of the Military Affairs Department or have served in the Internal Guards, come and stand in front of me!"
Swish!
As soon as his words fell, ten people among the more than one hundred military officials separated from the crowd and stood in front of Liu Zimo.
"Guard Hero of the Internal Guards Third Company, Wei Yingxiong, greets Instructor Liu!"
"Special Agent of the Internal Guards First Company, Zhang Shifeng, greets Instructor Liu!"
"Captain Zhu Yixiang, retired from the Internal Security Camp, has seen Instructor Liu!"
"..."
Among the ten people, some wore stars on their shoulders, some wore civilian clothes, and there was even one holding a broom and dustpan, like a janitor...
Eight men and two women, of different ages and heights, but with the same determined and fearless expression on their faces.
When they looked at Liu Zimo, or rather, the advisor badge hanging on Liu Zimo's chest, their eyes were filled with endless fanaticism and admiration.
"Very good!" Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction. "In the midst of the apocalypse, it's rare that you all still adhere to your own identities and professional ethics!"
His gaze swept over each of the ten people.
To Liu Zimo's surprise, one of them was a Crimson Lock Shadow.
A red flame filled the hall, and only the light of Xiaofeihong and Xiaoxiao's Lock Shadows could surpass him.
Without much thought, he directly bound him.
[Binding successful! Your good brother Zhu Yixiang has come online. Currently available binding targets (81/100).]
Zhu Yixiang happened to be the retired captain of the Internal Security Company.
Currently, he had reached the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm. Judging from the star badge on his shoulder, he was already a captain, just one step away from becoming a junior participant.
"Before leaving the capital, General Wu once told me," Liu Zimo continued to speak to the ten people.
"No matter how chaotic the world outside has become, the Internal Security of the Military Department will always be the most trustworthy group of people, allowing me to confidently entrust my back to them!"
"Now, I want to ask you all to tell me, can I still trust you?"
Clap!
The ten people stood up and saluted at the same time, their gaze determined, and their voices resolute and loud:
"One day as Internal Security, lifelong as Internal Security!"
"We are willing to die for the instructor!"
The powerful voices of the ten people echoed continuously in the hall.
Ten people, but they shouted with the momentum of a hundred or even a thousand people!
The many military officials in the hall looked at each other.
Many people couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at the ten people standing in front of them.
It was understandable for Deputy Zhu Yixiang, as everyone knew he came from the capital and had some background.
But people like Wei Yingxiong, Zhang Shifeng, and Sun Erying, who were all members of the Internal Security of the Military Department, truly surprised them!
Especially Sun Erying, who was clearly just a janitor recruited by their military affairs department last year. How did he become Internal Security in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that even before the catastrophe, the headquarters in the capital had already set their sights on their department head?
Everyone in the entire Daxia Military Department knew that the Internal Security of the headquarters not only had the responsibility to protect important figures, but also had the right to investigate and eliminate any worms within the military.
Any military officer targeted by the Internal Security, no matter how high and noble their status, almost never escaped unscathed!
"Very good!"
Finally, a smile appeared on Liu Zimo's face.
General Wu was right. No matter when, the Internal Security of the Military Department was the most reliable.
"Now, listen to my orders!"
Liu Zimo's face suddenly turned cold, and he loudly commanded the ten people:
"Except for Zhu Yixiang and Zhang Shifeng, the other eight people will divide into two teams and follow my two disciples to arrest the traitors in the city!"
"You don't need to take action. Your role is to provide them with relevant information and expose all those who have connections with Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, Liu Yang, and others. Escort them to the Military Department to await punishment!"
The principle of eliminating evil must be upheld, and Liu Zimo naturally couldn't forget it.
As the saying goes, if you do something, do it thoroughly and completely. Absolutely do not leave any potential trouble for oneself!
"Yes!"
The ten people responded respectfully in unison.
Then, except for Zhu Yixiang and Zhang Shifeng, the other eight people divided themselves into two groups and stood in front of Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, listening to their orders.
Liu Zimo waved his hand to the two girls, and they each led their respective teams and flew away.
"Zhu Yixiang, Zhang Shifeng!"
Liu Zimo then turned his head to the remaining two.
"You are both serving military officers in the Military Department, so you should have the clearest understanding of the personnel relationships here."
"Therefore, your next task is to eliminate the traitors within the Dragon Sea City Military Department!"
"From today onwards, I want the Military Department to completely control the Dragon Sea City, and there can only be one voice, the voice of the Military Department!"
"Any local forces or idle martial artists who dare to resist, regardless of the reason, kill them on the spot!"
In chaotic times, strict rules should be enforced!
Since we have chosen to intervene in the military affairs within Longhai City, we might as well do it thoroughly!
"Yes, we guarantee the completion of the mission!"
Zhu Yixiang and Zhang Shifeng responded loudly at the same time, unable to conceal their excitement and enthusiasm on their faces and in their eyes.
They truly deserve to be the martial arts advisors sent by headquarters, their methods are indeed extraordinary!
They have long wanted to do the same thing!
However, due to their strength and status, there are many things they can only think about in their hearts.
In the past six months, Longhai City has been thrown into chaos by Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, Liu Yang, and others.
Nearly 90% of the city's resources have ended up in the pockets of these three individuals, becoming their private resources for cultivation and breakthroughs.
Even the rations of ordinary residents in the city have been deducted repeatedly by them. Now, relief food is only distributed every three days, and there are even rumors of people starving to death in the city!
Many people, including the military officers within the Military Affairs Department, dare to express their anger and opinions.
And now, the time for settlement has finally come!
"Next, those whose names I call, step forward!"
Zhu Yixiang first saluted Liu Zimo respectfully, then turned to face everyone in the hall, giving orders and starting to call names:
"Zhou Sanshi!"
"Sun Xiaowei!"
"Li Da!"
"Zhao Xuan..."
In a moment, Zhu Yixiang called out thirty-six names among the more than one hundred people.
When these thirty-six people nervously stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Zimo, Zhu Yixiang reported to Liu Zimo again:
"Instructor Liu, except for these thirty-six military officers I called out, the remaining eighty-three people all have reasons to die!"
Whoosh!
This caused not only the eighty-three people in the hall to become excited and furious, but even Liu Zimo couldn't help but look at Zhu Yixiang with some surprise.
It must be said that this former captain of the Internal Guard Battalion is even more ruthless and decisive than he had imagined!
He actually wants to eliminate more than seventy percent of the military officers in the Military Affairs Department all at once!
However, this also indirectly indicates that the headquarters of the Military Affairs Department in Longhai City is almost rotten to the core!
Liu Zimo did not doubt Zhu Yixiang's judgment. With his current level of spiritual power, he can easily discern whether someone is lying in front of him.
Moreover, from Zhu Yixiang's confident manner of calling out names, it can be seen that he is extremely familiar with all the military officers in the Military Affairs Department and even the elite warriors in all the camps.
Perhaps he has already grasped all the irregularities and violations they have committed in the past six months.
He has been hiding and waiting for the right moment.
And now, with the appearance of him and his disciples, Zhu Yixiang has undoubtedly been completely liberated and seized the opportunity!
"I have to say, the Internal Guard Battalion is really a good place to find talented individuals!"
Liu Zimo sighed softly in his heart.
Seeing Zhu Yixiang's actions, he couldn't help but think of Sun Zhan in Jinmen City.
Sun Zhan back then was also such a ruthless character, good at enduring and had a thick face and a dark heart.
He had been worrying about finding a suitable Military Affairs Department director for Longhai City.
But now, someone has taken the initiative to come!
"In that case, let's kill them all!"
Liu Zimo's mind was clear, and he acted benevolently.
He didn't give the furious military officers in the hall any chance to argue or defend themselves.
Swish!
With a wave of his right hand, he directly suppressed their movements and speech.
Then, one after another, he locked their shadows above their heads and openly started harvesting the leeks!
[Your good brother Zhang Yuanying had bad luck and went astray. He was killed by you in one strike, and his soul has returned to the heavens!]
[The 'Thieving Heaven' talent passive ability has been triggered, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by your good brother Zhang Yuanying. Basic swordsmanship +100, Arhat Fist +100, martial arts cultivation +10, spiritual power +1, soul strength +3.]
