Chapter 226: A show of force
The helicopter slowly landed in an open area at the gate of Blizzard City.
It was already night. A searchlight from the city wall swept over and saw the logo of the God Squad on the fuselage. Several guards hurried out to greet them.
The helicopter door opened, and Zhang Yi jumped out of the plane first. Deng Shentong held his shoulders and landed gracefully.
"Welcome back to Blizzard City."
The leading guard saluted the two men and said, "I am the person in charge today, Li Hao. Captain Deng, what mission are you carrying out this time? Did you report it in advance?"
Deng Shentong frowned slightly: "Report? When did I need to report to the higher-ups when I was traveling?"
"Captain Deng, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry."
Li Hao explained, "Recently, the commander is worried about unusual movements by other forces, so he is strictly checking people entering and leaving Blizzard City, and the whole city is under martial law after 11pm. Unless you report in advance, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."
Zhang Yi felt a little strange when listening to Deng Shentong behind him. Deng Shentong was now the only Ipsilon in the Jiangnan region. Even if it was a rule, who would dare to stop him?
He gripped the handle of the Holy Judgement tightly. If he couldn't convince himself through talking, he could only solve it in the simplest way.
"Martial law? What kind of rules are you trying to stop me from entering?"
Deng Shentong was originally standing there casually with his arms folded, but he suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing this. His long silver hair moved without wind, and he emanated an extremely powerful aura.
"Whoever is your immediate superior, you should notify him."
Deng Shentong snorted coldly, his eyes were frighteningly sharp, "Just say that I, Deng Shentong, want to go in now, I want to see who dares to stop me."
Li Hao was just a low-level alien. How could he withstand Ipsilon's wrath? He panicked immediately, his knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
"Um... Captain Deng, we are also following the rules... Please don't make things difficult for me."
Zhang Yi was already very impatient when he saw that this person was not willing to listen to him. If he were in the Jiangnan region, who would dare to argue with him like this?
The temperature at night in the frozen apocalypse is enough to reach minus 80 degrees Celsius. Not allowing people to enter the city, do you want them to stay outside all night?
It’s just that Deng Shentong has such a good temper!
He took a step forward, dutifully playing the role of a good dog, and shouted angrily: "Who is my master? What rules are bigger than his? Get out of here!"
Li Hao's face turned pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He was obviously frightened.
He stepped back, stammering, "This... This won't do, Captain Deng, please don't make it difficult for me. If I let you in, I'll lose my job."
Zhang Yi became even more angry when he saw this.
He took a step forward, the Holy Judge in his hand flashing with cold light, and threatened: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Hao waved his hands repeatedly and cried out in a tearful voice, "Don't do it, let's talk it over."
Deng Shentong looked at this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.
He was a tall, thin middle-aged man in a green military uniform with a loose green robe over the uniform. Half of his face was hidden in the collar.
All that can be seen is the tall nose bridge and a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes.
Tu Yunlie, commander of three thousand Yanyun Guards and chief of operations for the Jiangnan region.
Li Hao ran over as if he had seen a savior, pointed at Deng Shentong and said, "General, they insist on breaking into the city..."
Before he could finish, Tu Yunlie raised his hand to interrupt him.
He looked Deng Shentong up and down, then saluted and said, "Captain Deng, how are you?"
"Tu Yunlie?" Deng Shentong raised his lips, "You were the one who asked them to stop me?"
Tu Yunlie remained calm, "Captain Deng, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that the commander-in-chief has a rule..."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. It's so cold, and you let us freeze outside the city. If something happens, will you be responsible?"
Tu Yunlie's face suddenly turned livid, and his eyes stared at him like a venomous snake, "Who are you? Is it your turn to interrupt here?"
"You..." Zhang Yi was not coaxed by him at all and wanted to say something, but Deng Shentong grabbed his sleeve and pulled him behind him, then took a step forward.
"Whether it's my turn or not is up to me, but whether I can beat the dog depends on its owner?"
Deng Shentong's aura is no less than that of Tu Yunlie, who comes from a military background. He seems to be born with an arrogance that looks down on the world.
He tilted his head and looked at Tu Yunlie for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that you don't even take me, your master, seriously."
"Deng Shentong, don't go too far!" Tu Yunlie shouted angrily.
"Am I going too far?"
Deng Shentong sneered, "My men have been freezing outside the city for so long, and you haven't even said a word of apology. Instead, you are being aggressive here. What, you military men don't even know the most basic etiquette?"
Tu Yunlie's expression became even uglier, but he still suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "The commander has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the city without permission. I cannot let you in without reporting."
"The commander's order?"
Deng Shentong raised his eyebrows. "If you ask Zhu Shuai to come and talk to me in person, do you think he will stop me? You are passing on a false military order!"
"you……"
How could Tu Yunlie possibly win an argument over a sharp-tongued person like Deng Shentong? His face was as gloomy as water, and he stopped arguing, just staring at the two of them with his terrifying eyes.
"Okay, no need to say more." Deng Shentong waved his hand, "I must go into the city now, no one can stop me. If you want to take action, go ahead. However, I advise you not to humiliate yourself."
After saying that, Deng Shentong led his men and turned to walk towards the city gate. Li Hao still stood there motionless, as if he was frightened by the scene before him.
"Step aside."
Deng Shentong just glanced at him casually with a cold look, and Li Hao immediately woke up as if from a dream, his face pale and cold sweat on his forehead.
He nodded quickly, rolled and crawled to get out of the way, and said in a trembling voice: "Deng... Captain Deng, please..."
Tu Yunlie gritted his teeth, but ultimately did not order a stop.
He knew that once they started fighting, he might not be Deng Shentong's opponent. Moreover, if the matter got out of hand, it would not be good for him.
Deng Shentong didn't even look at him and walked straight into the city gate with Zhang Yi.
When we entered the city, it was curfew. The streets in Zone C were empty, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and the whole city was filled with a tense atmosphere.
This is the norm at doomsday, and only strict management can control various emergencies.
"There's something wrong with this Tu Yunlie. What right does he have to stop you?" Zhang Yi said in a low voice.
"It's simple. I just guessed it."
Deng Shentong walked slowly with his arms folded, with a hint of contempt on his face.
The streets of Blizzard City were empty, and the cold wind blew past. Zhang Yi couldn't help but shudder and asked, "What did you guess?"
"What else could it be?"
Deng Shentong looked towards the tallest building in the center of Blizzard City and said calmly, "Someone has made a breakthrough. Zhu Zheng can't wait to show off his power to me."
