"Are these guys all crazy? Taking back Tokyo is practically suicide!"
But our regimental commander didn't seem to notice Chang Wei's wavering. He continued to offer tempting terms: "If we succeed, Chang Wei, you will receive the treatment of a deputy regimental commander and lead an elite unit. This is my recognition of your abilities and my expectation of you."
"Well, Chang Wei? I've shown you my utmost sincerity."
My comrade leader's eyes were fixed on Chang Wei, awaiting his reply.
However, Chang Wei remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination:
"Are you all insane? This plan is tantamount to suicide!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Kei Higashino was even more furious. He stepped forward, his aura sweeping over Chang Wei like a storm.
However, Chang Wei was not afraid at all. He took a deep breath and unleashed his aura like a torrent, instantly crushing Higashino Kei's aura.
"boom!"
Higashino Kei's body was forced back by this aura, and he stared at Chang Wei in shock, inwardly stunned:
"Chang Wei's strength is terrifying!"
In this boundless darkness, he had never expected Chang Wei's power to be so immense, sweeping over like a raging storm.
As a level seven evolved being, he had been adept at handling many battles, but today, in this brief exchange, he was like a small boat, teetering on the brink of capsizing in front of Chang Wei's unfathomable ocean.
The gazes of the surrounding crowd froze at that moment.
Those who had doubts about Chang Wei's strength now felt their doubts vanish, replaced by deep awe.
"Such formidable power, the hunter's demise was undoubtedly his doing."
People whispered among themselves, their voices filled with awe and wonder.
Chang Wei's gaze was as cold as a knife. He glanced at Higashino Kei as if he were looking at an insignificant passerby.
Kei Higashino, the top evolver in the military camp, found his skills so pale and powerless under Chang Wei's oppression, as if stripped of all his glory and left in a sorry state.
Chang Wei had crossed paths with Kei Higashino before, and he knew Higashino's strength well, but at this moment, he didn't care at all and still spoke frankly with his domineering attitude.
His words struck like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.
Upon hearing Chang Wei's remarks, Kang Ping's face instantly turned gloomy.
Kei Higashino, his strongest subordinate and the cornerstone of his position, now sees his anger burning like dry tinder after being humiliated.
But he was, after all, a seasoned general, and he never showed his emotions. He only changed his expression slightly before regaining his composure.
Hyuga Jun, the leader of the military camp, also looked at Chang Wei with a solemn expression.
"Chang Wei, what do you mean by this? Do you think we are not strong enough to take over Tokyo?" His tone was somewhat accusatory.
Chang Wei sneered, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on the faces of the Hyuga Army. "You may have five thousand warriors, armed with modern weapons, but do you really think you can easily defeat millions of zombies, especially those special zombies? I dare say, if you were to actually attack Tokyo, you would suffer a crushing defeat!"
"Are those special zombies really that troublesome?" My guild leader asked with a furrowed brow and a hint of doubt.
"Difficult?"
Chang Wei sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Those special zombies, each one possesses abilities beyond those of ordinary people. Their speed and strength are far beyond what ordinary zombies can match. Moreover, they also possess a certain special ability that can give even us evolved beings a headache. If you really want to attack Tokyo, you'd better be prepared for total annihilation."
Going back to that bitterly cold night, the moonlight was obscured by thick dark clouds, as if even the stars trembled.
More than a month ago, he had a close encounter with a zombie in the dark ruins.
That was no ordinary zombie; its eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and every swing of its claws was like a thunderbolt. In just one encounter, I almost lost my life.
If they hadn't reacted quickly and escaped by the last glimmer of light in the night, they would probably have become food for the zombies long ago.
At that moment, when everyone heard Chang Wei's heavy words, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.
Chang Wei's voice echoed in the empty hall, each word striking the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer blow.
Their brows furrowed, and a deep unease stirred within them as they harbored profound doubts about the impending attack on Tokyo.
Chang Wei turned his gaze to Hyuga Jun, the former secretary of the Tokyo Municipal Party Committee, whose face now bore a mixture of helplessness and determination.
He asked with suspicion, "Secretary Hyuga, you escaped from Tokyo, so you should know the situation there very well. Why did you come up with this plan now?"
His tone was devoid of any respect, but Hyuga Jun didn't seem to care.
411 Chang Wei: Save Sakura? Sorry, I'm not a savior!
Hyuga Jun's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Li Feng, the former mayor of Tokyo, standing beside him, appeared unusually resolute at this moment:
“Chang Wei, Tokyo is indeed fraught with danger, but we cannot stand idly by. We need powerful evolved beings like you to help us fight against those mutated zombies and bring new hope to this city.”
However, Chang Wei waved his hand dismissively and laughed:
"You should find someone else! I'm not some savior. I wouldn't dare go back to a place like that!"
His words were full of sarcasm, but everyone saw deep worry in his eyes.
Hyuga Jun sighed and slowly said, "Chang Wei, you may not understand our situation. We are now at our wits' end, and the future of thousands of soldiers hangs in the balance. Attacking Tokyo is not only to recover lost territory, but also to give them hope. Only in this way can they persevere and prevent this army from collapsing."
His voice was full of firmness and determination, which made Chang Wei fall into deep thought.
He glanced at the people in the hall; their faces were filled with exhaustion and helplessness, but their eyes shone with determination.
He understood that this might be the hope they were fighting for.
If abandoned, this unit will likely fall apart.
Finally, Chang Wei fell silent. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke:
"Alright, I'm willing to give it a try. But you must understand that this is not an easy task."
His voice was calm, but it was full of determination and courage. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but they had no other choice.
Chang Wei sighed softly, as if the burden in his heart had become even heavier.
He looked at the crowd before him, his eyes firm yet complex: “Gentlemen, I deeply admire your perseverance. However, I also have my own mission, and my loved ones have yet to be found. I cannot live only for myself; I must be responsible for them. Therefore, I am afraid I cannot fight alongside you.”
His words were filled with helplessness, yet also revealed an undeniable determination.
Commander Ido and Hyuga Jun exchanged a glance, a hint of regret flashing in their eyes, but they said nothing more.
They understand that everyone has their own choices, and it cannot be forced.
However, at that moment, the girl next to my chaplain, Itou Yingtong, suddenly spoke up, her voice tinged with resentment:
"You are such a coward! We are willing to give everything for the well-being of the people, but you back down because of your own selfishness. How can someone like you be worthy of the title of man?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Shadow and the others were even more enraged, shouting, "Shut up! Don't insult Chief Chang Wei!"
Chang Wei waved his hand, signaling them not to get angry.
He smiled faintly, as if he had long since become indifferent to it all: "I don't care about these empty titles. I'm about to leave, and I'd rather not argue with you. However, there's still one thing I don't understand: since you're so noble, why are you seeking help for the unfortunate people's base?"
I think that, as fellow citizens of Japan, they won't stand idly by.
Upon hearing this, my guild leader's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure:
"Chief Changwei is absolutely right. However, the journey to the survivor base is long and fraught with danger. If we rush there, we risk heavy losses. Moreover, Tokyo is our base of operations. How can we face the expectations of the people if we abandon it?"
Chang Wei nodded silently, but a sense of respect rose in his heart.
He understood that Commander Tang and others had considered asking for help, but had their own reasons and considerations.
He bowed slightly and said, "Take care, everyone. Although I cannot travel with you, I will pray for you silently in my heart."
After saying this, Chang Wei turned and left.
He led Satomi Ishihara and the others away from the military camp and embarked on a journey to other survivor bases.
Although the road ahead is unknown, he believes that as long as he has faith in his heart, he will surely find his own light.
In the dimly lit conference room, Chang Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He was filled with doubt. Why would someone as capable as my charioteer and others, with their strength and wisdom, overlook such an obvious strategy?
"At the survivor base, we once held onto hope, pinning our hopes on the city's aid. But who knew that its ruler, that man named Lei Cheng, would reject our request with a heart of stone."
Li Feng's voice echoed in the empty room, his words revealing helplessness and disappointment.
He was the one who strongly recommended that everyone go to the survivor base, but the harsh reality left him feeling deeply disappointed.
"Are you giving up so easily?"
Chang Wei frowned deeply. He couldn't comprehend this peace and compromise maintained even in the apocalypse. Were thousands of soldiers just going to be wasted like this? The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst forth at any moment.
“How can we act like this?” Li Feng shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes revealing deep helplessness.
"Although we are soldiers, how can we easily resort to violence when facing our compatriots? Even in this apocalyptic world, we must not forget our original aspirations and mission."
At this moment, the voice of our comrade commander rang out, his tone firm and powerful.
"We have never hesitated to kill zombies and mutated beasts. But we must never point our guns at our own compatriots. This is our bottom line as soldiers, and it is also our belief."
Chang Wei felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this. He understood their perseverance and beliefs, but he also felt sorry for their pedantry and stubbornness in this end times.
He sighed, but he had already made up his mind.
