“Prefect? Wu Zhiqun?”

Hearing this name, a fierce glint flashed in Gray Bear's eyes.

Wu Zhiqun was the prefect of Qi City, the chief official in charge, but he had no authority to command the military. Separation of military and political power had always been a characteristic of this country.

But now, in the apocalypse, this guy dared to imprison the regiment commander of the garrison?

As a native of Qi City, Gray Bear knew Wu Zhiqun, whose reputation had always been poor, but because he had connections above, he had remained secure in his position.

The security guard, who had initially spoken, now frowned. He had been rescued by the garrison, and over ninety percent of those who had come from the city owed their lives to the garrison.

Moreover, since Regiment Commander Liu had been placed under house arrest, they had stopped rescuing people, including the survivors still stranded at the military camp!

Originally, Regiment Commander Liu, whose name was Liu Jinshan, had planned to bring all the survivors from the military camp, as there was ample space here and land for cultivation.

However, because they had stockpiled food in the military camp, along with supplies gathered during rescue operations, those survivors could last for some time. Therefore, Liu Jinshan chose to rescue people in the city first.

Unexpectedly, after just one trip, he was imprisoned by his deputy and Wu Zhiqun upon his return!

Now, seeing that man pleading with Gray Bear to rescue Liu Jinshan, the security guard on the watchtower had other thoughts. He had been rescued by Liu Jinshan, but he was alone; his family had died at the beginning of the apocalypse and turned into zombies.

The man was pleading for two reasons: one, he remembered Liu Jinshan's kindness, and two, he still had family at the garrison's military camp.

When they came here initially, besides Liu Jinshan and his soldiers, some people had volunteered to come along, and many of them had relatives in the military camp.

Therefore, after Liu Jinshan was imprisoned, some of them begged the deputy and Wu Zhiqun to bring those people back.

But after careful questioning, Wu Zhiqun dismissed them with a promise to consider it, and then gave no further response.

Wu Zhiqun had no intention of rescuing those people. Most of them were old, weak, sick, or disabled, and food was scarce there. Rescuing them would undoubtedly deplete their resources!

Wu Zhiqun even planned to expel most of the survivors from the villa, leaving only those with combat skills who could kill zombies, and young, beautiful girls. As for the others, their lives and deaths were of no concern to him.

However, he hadn't yet fully secured the loyalty of all the soldiers, so Wu Zhiqun dared not act rashly and planned to wait a while longer.

The security guard on the watchtower didn't believe that Gray Bear and his group were capable of rescuing Liu Jinshan, especially since the Darkblood War Chariot was disguised as an ordinary SUV.

Although it looked imposing, Liu Jinshan's garrison had military vehicles far superior to this, and they had been disarmed and imprisoned all the same.

If he really allowed them into the villa to cause trouble for Wu Zhiqun, he, the gatekeeper, would certainly be held responsible. He had previously been just a security guard, but after Liu Jinshan was imprisoned, he had quickly switched his allegiance to Wu Zhiqun, who had given him a gun to serve as a guard at the gate.

Although the position wasn't particularly appealing, it was far better than being one of the unlucky survivors in the villa, and his food wouldn't be skimped on, so he was quite satisfied.

Therefore, he instinctively wanted to stop Gray Bear, but looking at the gun in the holster on Gray Bear's thigh and the rifle on his back, he figured… he probably couldn't win.

Although he also had a gun, he had only been a security guard and had never handled one before. Since receiving this gun, he had never actually fired it.

The garrison's ammunition was limited, and Wu Zhiqun would never waste bullets on training him to shoot. He had only been given the job because he was quick to change his tune and show his support. As for the gun, it was just for show.

Gray Bear was unaware of the security guard's thoughts. He turned directly to the man who was begging him and asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Qi, and my name is Qi Huan. You can call me Little Qi!"

Qi Huan was a young man of about twenty-four or five years old, who quickly replied.

"Mm!"

Gray Bear nodded, then glanced back at the driver's seat of the Darkblood.

Since they were going to someone else's base, Duan Lei was already in the driver's seat, pretending it was just an ordinary SUV.

Seeing Gray Bear turn around, Duan Lei nodded slightly, signaling that it was okay to go in and rescue the people.

Although only Gray Bear was outside, everyone in the vehicle could see and hear them, including Li Yunshan and the others.

Moreover, Li Yunshan was in the living room. Now that they had arrived in Qi City, Li Chenzhou intended to let Li Yunshan make many of the decisions. As for Li Chenzhou himself? He just wanted to kill zombies and earn Slaughter Points.

"If we rush in to rescue people later, we can't get out of the car, so we can only rely on you!"

Just as Duan Lei nodded, Li Yunshan looked at Li Chenzhou and said, "Jinshan is a pure soldier and my comrade-in-arms. I must save him!!!"

"No problem!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. Gray Bear's words had at least made him understand that Liu Jinshan was a soldier similar to Li Yunshan!

If he were selfish, after wiping out the mutated soldiers in the military camp, he could have held out in his own camp for a while, and then tried to enter the city to collect supplies when the food ran low.

After all, they were a military unit with plenty of weapons, ammunition, and military vehicles, so their survival conditions were definitely better than those of other survivors!

But Liu Jinshan chose to immediately lead his troops out to rescue people after stabilizing the military camp. No wonder Li Yunshan and Liu Jinshan were on good terms. Birds of a feather flock together!

Qing City also had a garrison, but Li Chenzhou had never seen the garrison there enter the city to rescue people. Of course, he had never been to the garrison, either. It was possible that the Qing City garrison had been unlucky and wiped out.

Li Chenzhou certainly wanted to save someone like Liu Jinshan. Not only did he want to save him, but he even felt that Liu Jinshan would be the best person to lead this villa base.

Qi City had an advantage over Qing City because of this villa, which was better than any of the bases that Li Chenzhou had helped to build. In particular, the grounds were large, and even just the area within the walls could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou now wanted not only to rescue people, but also to take control of this base. As for Prefect Wu Zhiqun? This was the apocalypse! What was a prefect? If he was so great, let him manage the zombies!
