Building 1. It is heavily guarded and no one can get close to it. On weekdays, it is very quiet outside Building 1, but early this morning, the quiet atmosphere was broken by a harsh sound of brakes.
Three cars roared towards them at extremely fast speeds. When they were approaching, they suddenly stepped on the brakes. The tires rubbed against the ground, leaving a black mark more than ten meters long. When the car stopped, it was less than half a meter away from the soldiers standing guard. The soldier was also very courageous, not taking a step back, staring calmly at the driver, and aiming the black muzzle of the gun at the driver's forehead.
If the car doesn't stop before it touches their clothes, they will shoot without mercy. They have this right. Even if the deputy mayor dares to act recklessly in Building 1, they can shoot without any scruples without taking any responsibility.
The captain of the security team who heard the commotion hurriedly ran out with an angry look on his face. After seeing the people getting off the car, his face changed several times in an instant, and finally turned into respect.
Snapped!
"Lu Gencheng has met the leader." The captain saluted with a standard military salute.
The person who got out of the car was Lu Zhengyang, the number two person in the Lu family. As a local wealthy family, the Lu family knows better than anyone else how to survive and walks on three legs. For politics, for business, for military service. For the first two, the Lu family can still borrow some strength through their connections, but joining the army is not enough. The army has an independent ecosystem. If you don't have the strength, no one will accept it, even the son of the generalissimo.
The Lu family themselves never thought that a person like Lu Zhengyang would be unintentionally inserted into the family. A member of the branch many years ago was thrown into the army for refuge after committing a crime. Decades later, he actually became a senior officer and mastered a weapon. Independent Division. After the apocalypse, the army was plotted. Lu Zhengyang took the army home, only to find that his home was gone. He could only follow his footsteps south, and finally integrated into Xingjiang Road and became the largest military force in Xingjiang Road.
The addition of Lu Zhengyang not only greatly increased the strength of the Lu family, but also made the Lu family's internal affairs more complicated. Originally it was just a game between Zhumai and Lu Jingjiang, but with the addition of Lu Zhengyang, it became a three-pointed game of power. Lu Zhengyang is a very independent and ambitious person. Many times, even the surface work is too lazy to do.
As a landlord, Lu Jingjiang had to be respectful in front of his master's family. Only Lu Zhengyang went his own way without any scruples. But he controlled the army, and the Lu family could only turn a blind eye.
Lu Zhengyang strode into the door without even looking at the security captain. Six soldiers got out of each of the other two cars, and they looked impressive. Four guard vehicles were left behind, and the remaining eight followed Lu Zhengyang.
Lu Gencheng wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare. He was secretly anxious and could only quickly use the intercom to notify the people inside after Lu Zhengyang entered. Lu Zhengyang and Lu Jingjiang are at odds, which is no secret in the Lu family. Lu Gencheng is also a member of the Lu family, so he naturally knows this. Since Lu Zhengyang joined Xingjiang Road, he has only been to Building 1 once, and that time was to hand over the security work. I have never been here since then and have never set foot in this area. Lu Gencheng had a bad premonition when he came uninvited today.
Building No. 1 is where Lu Jingjiang works on weekdays, and is also the power center of Xingjiang Road. All decisions affecting Xingjiang Road originate from this place.
Inside the building, the staff were in a hurry. After the apocalypse, the things that need to be dealt with will be several times as much as before the apocalypse.
Although many things are beyond their responsibilities and capabilities, they still have to be done.
Seeing Lu Zhengyang coming in aggressively, most people knew Lu Zhengyang and did not dare to stop him. Some people even saluted respectfully. Lu Zhengyang didn't even look at it and went straight to Lu Jingjiang's office.
"stop!"
Lu Zhengyang drove smoothly and was stopped outside Lu Jingjiang's office. The two soldiers were like door gods guarding the door. Their duty was to guard the door. As long as Lu Jingjiang did not speak, even if the governor came in person, they would not be allowed to let him in.
"How dare you, didn't you see it was Master Lu?" Lu Zhengyang did not speak, but the soldier behind him scolded him. Although this man was wearing the clothes of a guard company, he was actually Lu Zhengyang's adjutant, with the rank of major.
"Commander Lu, please wait a moment and allow me to report." The expression on the guard's face was as rocky as a rock, without any change.
Seeing the impatience in Lu Zhengyang's eyes, the adjutant suddenly took action, like thunder coming to the world, extremely fast. The two soldiers guarding the gate were also first-class masters, otherwise they would not be placed in such an important position. But the two of them never expected that someone would dare to take action here. And the adjutant took action too quickly.
Just as the two were about to defend themselves, the adjutant's finger had already hit their chests. An indescribable and terrifying coldness suddenly surged through their bodies, and they lost consciousness the next second without even a chance to speak to warn them.
Without even looking at the warrior who had turned into an ice sculpture, the adjutant flew up and kicked open the office door with a bang. The office door is made of high-grade alloy materials and equipped with a fingerprint password to withstand rocket attacks. But in front of the adjutant's kick, it was almost like a rotten tree, falling apart.
There was only Lu Jingjiang in Nuo Da's office, and his desk was a little messy. He raised his head when he heard the noise, and his surprised eyes quickly calmed down after seeing Lu Zhengyang striding in.
"Twenty-two, I need your help with something." Lu Zhengyang didn't stop until he reached Lu Jingjiang's desk, condescendingly. The adjutant and soldiers immediately took control of the surrounding area and controlled the entrance and exit rights of the gate.
Lu Jingjiang is the twenty-second among his brothers and sisters of his generation. He inserted the pen into the pen cap, put it into the pen holder, covered the document, and then asked: "Brother Sixteen can just make a phone call if something happens, so there is no need to go there in person."
Lu Zhengyang ranked sixteen.
"I want security rights in the inner city." Lu Zhengyang said.
"We are from the same roots, so why rush it?" Lu Jingjiang looked at Lu Zhengyang with a wry smile, took out a document from the drawer, and handed it to Lu Zhengyang.
"What is this?" Lu Zhengyang did not answer.
"See for yourself." Lu Jingjiang said.
"This is -" Lu Zhengyang opened his eyes and took a look, his expression changed drastically, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Jingjiang in disbelief.
"The Standing Committee held an impromptu meeting yesterday and appointed Brother Sixteen as Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Xingjiang Province, Deputy Mayor and Director of the Public Security Bureau. Such documents are usually issued around ten o'clock the next day." Lu Jingjiang said calmly. .
Lu Zhengyang glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only nine-ten. He held the document in both hands. There was a red seal on it. It was not fake or temporary.
Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Deputy Mayor and Public Security Bureau
The director of the bureau would definitely not be appointed in this way unless it was an emergency, because the power is too great. After ten o'clock, except for Lu Jingjiang, Xingjiang Road had the most power. He has also mastered the power of the army. Calculated, his power has surpassed Lu Jingjiang.
Even if I saw the appointment document with my own eyes, it still seemed like a dream and I couldn't believe it was real. What circumstances made Lu Jingjiang make such a decision. He knew very well that he had no idea about yesterday's Standing Committee meeting, and it could not be the result of force manipulation on his side.
"Why do you do this?" Lu Zhengyang was stunned for half a minute before he came to his senses.
"The Lu family, you, me, and Xingjiang Dao are one. Whether the Lu family is destroyed or Xingjiang Dao falls, we will all suffer. Brother Sixteen, you are the most capable person in the Lu family. This power is in your hands. Only in this way can we play the greatest role." Lu Jingjiang said.
"Xingjiang Road fell? What do you mean?" Lu Zhengyang's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Originally I thought there was still time, but now it seems it's too late." Lu Jingjiang sighed, with some sadness in his eyes. He picked up the remote control and turned on the monitor.
There are surveillance images of the entire Xingjiang Road in his room, and the intelligent system automatically matches the content Lu Jingjiang needs. The major gangs in Xingjiang Road have gathered together and are attacking the military camp. The perimeter of the military camp had been breached, and the two sides fell into a melee. The other half of the scene shows zombies killing civilians.
The zombies that should be blocked outside the defensive line don’t know how to enter the city. Ordinary civilians cry for their fathers and mothers, wishing they had two more legs, but they are too weak. Not to mention two more legs, even six or eight legs. You can't escape the zombies.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Lu Zhengyang shouted.
Lu Jingjiang stared blankly at the monitor, ignoring Lu Zhengyang's yelling. Lu Zhengyang quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed, but after dialing several numbers in succession, no one answered.
"What happened when he fell to the ground?" Lu Zhengyang roared.
"I'm afraid the signal is blocked at the military camp." The adjutant whispered, with panic in his eyes.
"Who is it?" Lu Zhengyang's face suddenly darkened. The person who could imagine using the signal jammer was definitely not an ordinary person. Ordinary people don't have such a mind.
The adjutant didn't know how to answer. There were too many possibilities, but there was no evidence.
"Twenty-two, what's going on?" Lu Zhengyang was a person who had experienced great storms after all, and he quickly suppressed his anxiety.
"I received news that someone was dissatisfied with my decision to compromise and wanted to control the Lu family and seize the power of Xingjiang Road. I thought their target was the Lu family, but I didn't expect that they changed their goal." Lu Jingjiang's eyes flashed. There was a hint of doubt. Compared to the Lu family, which had little power, he couldn't figure out why the gangsters would choose Lu Zhengyang, a tough guy.
That's the army.
"A mere gangster would never have such courage. There must be someone behind the scenes. Who is it?" Lu Zhengyang's eyes were like daggers, with killing intent.
"Who asked Brother Sixteen to come here?" Lu Jingjiang asked.
"Why are they doing this?" Lu Zhengyang's eyes suddenly darkened, and he became even more deeply confused. This would not benefit them at all. Why?
