Chapter 34 Seizing Power

While Yang Chang was sound asleep, he was suddenly woken by someone beside him. He then said unhappily, "What is it? Can't a person sleep?"

The male quickly said, "Yang Chang, the President wants you to go over there now."

"The President?" Upon hearing that it was the President looking for him, Yang Chang immediately perked up, put on his clothes, and rushed to Shen Feng's office.

Upon arriving at the office, Yang Chang found that not only the President was there, but also the Vice President. The two of them were looking at a map in their hands, discussing and seemingly deciding on the next attack location.

"President, I'm here. May I ask what's wrong?" Yang Chang quickly asked.

Shen Feng slowly looked up and said to Yang Chang, "I called you here actually for the upcoming operation. I'll be taking people to the Kelai Hotel, five kilometers away, to clear out the zombies there. What do you think?"

"What do I think? Of course, I'll go with you!" Yang Chang was a bit confused.

Hearing this answer, Shen Feng gently shook his head and said, "Your going with me won't be of much use. I have a more important task for you to complete. However, it requires secrecy. Can you do it?"

"Yes! Whatever the President asks me to do, I'll do it!" Yang Chang said without hesitation.

Shen Feng smiled, then leaned Yang Chang closer and whispered, "I have a serum that can make you an evolved person. However, as you know, nothing is ever that simple. Now, I need you to give me a token of loyalty! As long as you complete the task I'm about to give you, this serum will be yours!"

After speaking, Shen Feng explained the plan to Yang Chang. Upon hearing Shen Feng's explanation, Yang Chang's face first showed a look of gritted teeth, then turned grim, and finally, he said, "Don't worry, I won't go easy on traitors. I've already claimed this serum!"

Afterward, Yang Chang slowly left and acted according to Shen Feng's plan, leading his subordinates out of the school.

Chang Jianyi looked at Shen Feng and said with determination, "You go ahead and do your thing with peace of mind. I'll handle things here. You just focus on carrying out your plan outside. I'll always be your backup!"

Shen Feng nodded and smiled, then ordered someone to notify everyone to gather. Next, he was going to announce something big!

Both villagers and students from the school were gathered in the square. A stage had already been set up, and someone turned on a diesel generator. Shen Feng then took the microphone and went on stage. His expression was solemn as he directly said, "Everyone in the Self-Help Association, as well as the nearby villagers and others seeking refuge in this school, I am about to announce the next action of the Self-Help Association! That is to annihilate the zombies! This time, it's not a small skirmish, but a real beginning to reclaim our Luzhou from the zombies!"

The crowd below immediately applauded, feeling a surge of excitement. Was the President really going to lead them to retake Luzhou? If Luzhou were truly recaptured, wouldn't that mean they would have whatever they wanted?

"Listen everyone, next, I will lead the combat team and the engineering team to the Huayan Hotel. That will be our temporary stronghold! Afterward, the villagers and the logistics team will also head there successively. We will temporarily abandon the base here at the school! However, please rest assured, this is only temporary. Once Luzhou is recaptured, everyone can return to the school!" Shen Feng continued.

The people below began to waver. They all felt that the current situation was quite good. They had a safe place to live and sufficient food. If they wanted to help others, why did they have to go so far away? It would be better to just raid a few villages in the suburbs rather than go to a hotel near the city center.

Of course, Shen Feng didn't give the people below a chance to object and directly said, "We will depart immediately. Combat team and engineering team, get ready to board the vehicles. Logistics team and medical team, pack your things. Villagers and the construction team, you will be the second group to depart."

Upon hearing this arrangement, the construction team members were overjoyed. They hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly. They had initially thought that if the vocational school students stayed, it might be a hindrance, but now it seemed that the vocational school students were also among the first to depart. Therefore, once this group left, it would be their chance to shine.

Then, Shen Feng called Wu Kai to his side and said, "You have a special mission, which is to stay behind and maintain order. I allow you to bring twenty people to stay behind, and you are only responsible for order. You don't need to participate in today's battle for now!"

Hearing Shen Feng's words, Wu Kai was ecstatic, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said unhappily, "President, I've always wanted to fight alongside you. Why are you making me stay behind to maintain order now? You know, others can also stay behind."

Shen Feng patted Wu Kai's shoulder and said, "This place cannot do without you. Please understand. Although I know the matters here are rather complicated, logistics are also very important. I'm sorry to trouble you, but please stay behind to maintain order and protect important people!"

"Since the President has said so, of course, I have no objections!" Wu Kai reluctantly stayed behind and then chose classmates he was close with to stay.

At this time, Li Xiang already had over a hundred vehicles. Although they were all small cars, they were still sufficient for transportation. Under Shen Feng's command, the combat team and engineering team members boarded the vehicles, preparing to depart for the hotel five kilometers away.

Suddenly, Li Xiang noticed something was wrong. It seemed that the vehicles were not crowded enough, and some people were missing. He quickly went to ask Shen Feng, "President, did some people desert? I noticed that many members of the combat team are missing. There are only over three hundred people now!"

"You don't need to worry about that. Those people have other tasks to do. Three hundred people to take on a hotel, that's no problem!" Shen Feng said with a smile.

Li Xiang had never heard of the combat team having any other tasks, but since the President had already said so, if he still had doubts, it would be questioning the President's authority. Therefore, he could only suppress his doubts, then announced the departure, and while driving, he turned on the wireless radio to listen. He found that at this point, only the major cities had been recaptured, and most small cities were not managed by any army and were still in dire straits.

Shen Feng sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Li Xiang, why do you think people are so greedy?"

This was a question out of the blue, as if Shen Feng had asked it on a whim.

Li Xiang didn't understand why the President was asking this question, but he couldn't not answer, so he said, "Perhaps it's because these people are insatiable. However, not everyone is greedy."

"But often, people will die because of greed!" Shen Feng said this sentence for no apparent reason.

After the convoy left the school, the girls, under Chang Jianyi's command, also began to pack their things. Although they didn't understand why they had to transfer their base, the President and Vice President had already decided, which meant there was no room for negotiation, and they had to transfer.

All along, the decision-makers were Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi, and everyone else could only act according to their orders.

At this moment, Li Tianxiao found Wang Xiang and said anxiously, "We only have one chance. If we don't act now, we might not have another opportunity. Are you willing to be driven by others forever?"

Wang Xiang quickly said, "What about those villagers? If those villagers oppose us, we might suffer losses. You know, there are over six hundred villagers there!"

Li Tianxiao explained, "Most of those villagers are old, weak, women, and children. Moreover, they were forced to come here and are not convinced in the first place. If you act now, they won't care. If we don't act quickly, it will be bad when the male students from the convoy return!"

Wang Xiang thought about it carefully. It was indeed true. If their food hadn't been taken away, these villagers wouldn't have come. Now that he was taking action to seize power, these villagers wouldn't care. Thus, he immediately had the brothers behind him bring weapons and walk towards Chang Jianyi.

Seeing Wang Xiang start to act, Li Tianxiao also quickly called over more than thirty male students to join them. They also carried weapons in their hands.

Chang Jianyi saw a group of about a hundred people surrounding her, and a hint of panic appeared on her face. She then began to shout, "Wu Kai, quickly come and protect me! These people want to harm me!"

Wu Kai exchanged glances with the friends behind him, then stepped forward. However, they did not stop the construction team from approaching. Instead, they blocked behind Chang Jianyi and said, "Vice President, please ask these girls to stop what they are doing. I guarantee I won't hurt you! Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action!"

"What do you mean?" Chang Jianyi asked hurriedly.

"What do I mean? Of course, I mean for you to surrender. As long as you surrender now, we guarantee your safety. Of course, you can forget about the position of Vice President in the future!" Wu Kai was particularly arrogant at this moment. Shen Feng had already left with the combat team, and another evolved person, Ren Jing, had also left. Now, he was the only evolved person here, so he was naturally confident. As long as he captured Chang Jianyi, he could threaten Shen Feng into obedience.

Then, Wu Kai looked at Yu Renshu, who was standing not far away, dressed in a white coat, watching the scene with great interest.

Wu Kai knew that the evolutionary serum couldn't appear out of thin air, so someone must have made it. And that person was Yu Renshu, who usually had nothing to do. Although she didn't seem to have much to do usually, she often stayed in the laboratory for a period of time. This indicated that Yu Renshu was the one who made the serum!

Dean Hu also stepped out from the crowd and said with a smile, "Wu Kai is my most familiar student. You wouldn't have expected it, would you, that he would betray you now! Of course, from now on, this school will be run by us. All the food and luggage here are forbidden to be taken away. Everything belongs to us!"

Chang Jianyi lowered her head and started to laugh. "Haha..." Her laughter grew louder and louder, even drowning out the words of others.

"Is this woman crazy?" Everyone who had surrounded Chang Jianyi was stunned. Why was this woman still laughing? Had she gone mad due to too much pressure?

At this moment, everyone looked in Chang Jianyi's direction, whether it was the girls from the logistics team or the villagers in the distance, they were all watching. This was because they realized that at this moment, someone was rebelling. Of course, the rebellion here was against Chang Jianyi's command, and it was an attempt to seize power.

"It seems you are determined to oppose me, so I have nothing more to say. Lu Zhongqiang and Tao Xian, you can come over!" Chang Jianyi said with a cold smile. At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with icy coldness, clearly showing that she was truly angry at this moment.

Behind Li Tianxiao, two male students came out. They were two of the thirty people who had defected to him and his leadership. They stood in front of Chang Jianyi and said to the others, "I advise you to surrender quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult to say what will happen later!"

Li Tianxiao pointed at these two guys and cursed, "I didn't expect you to defect to me just to be spies. But what can you do now? I'm telling you, you are all dead today. No one can save you!"

After speaking, Li Tianxiao waved his hand, and the three groups of people all surrounded them, preparing to tie up Chang Jianyi.

"I really don't know what you people are thinking. If you had a spy, you should have understood our plan. Yet, you still dared to let the male students from the combat team leave. You are truly courting death. However, you won't have a chance to regret it!" Dean Hu said with a cold laugh. Today, he was going to reclaim his position!
