Chapter 498

"What a coincidence! We meet again," Yang Ying exclaimed when he saw Jiang Liushi and his members approaching them .

"Some people really like fooling around . They offended that officer as soon as they came here . Don't you think so?" Yang Ying taunted . Even before the sound of his voice faded away, he noticed Jiang Liushi glaring at him . Jiang Liushi's eyes were so cold that Yang Ying could not help but remember the scene of the level-2 mutant zombie's death; it had shocked him to the core .

However, he kept his calm and said, "Well, what do you want to do?" Yang Ying was a little bit angry from embarrassment . In his mind, Jiang Liushi had annoyed Officer Wan, and even if they could enter the Safety Zone, he and his team would crush the Shi Ying Squad in the future .

"What a poor fella! You're just like a dog depending on its master's power to intimidate others," Jiang Zhuying said coldly .

"It doesn't really matter where we are if I want your life . You should discard you novel thoughts of targeting me through others . It's a stupid action," Jiang Liushi said coldly .

Yang Ying felt a little scared after hearing that . However, his confidence returned after noticing that Wan Lan and the other two officers were coming their way . He was pretty sure that Jiang Liushi would not dare to lay a finger on him .

Wan Lan had also heard what Jiang Liushi said, and she immediately felt annoyed . In her mind, Jiang Liushi and his teammates were reckless individuals that cared for nobody . In the upcoming assessment, she hoped to suppress Jiang Liushi, or else he would remain ignorant of how high the sky was .

At that moment, a dull sound came from the heavy gate, and the ground shook slightly . Subsequently, a convoy of steel dragon-like vehicles drove through the gate . The convoy consisted of hundreds of cars, armored fighting vehicles, as well as tanks . They were all bloodstained, and several mutant beasts could be seen inside . Their huge bodies shocked everyone present .

"Uh? General Zhang came back?" Wan Lan became quite happy .

Ji Xiangming was also excited, and he walked toward the convoy . Jiang Liushi and the other survivors stood to the side and looked at them .

The people in the military vehicles were tanned, and their military uniforms were stained with blood . Jiang Liushi wondered why a general would personally lead such a team . Being unable to find the reason, he suddenly thought of the scaffolds in the distance . Initially, he was under the impression that the Jiangning Safety Zone was a small place, but now, it seemed he was wrong .

Su Guangqi and Su Tong had not just chosen this place because it was their hometown; it was also relatively safe . Naturally, they were not privy to the safety zone's real situation . After all, they were scientists, not military officers or politicians .

Currently, the soldiers were jumping off their vehicles . In the forefront of the convoy was an armored chariot, from which the general came down . The old general removed his hat, revealing his silver hair and hearty countenance .

Ji Xiangming got close to the old general and gave a military salute .

"At ease, Little Ji . Are you responsible for assessing the new teams?" General Zhang smiled and asked .

"Yes, general . " Ji Xiangming replied .

"Good . I will come with you to check them . I need something to change my mood . It was a tough task to battle against all those mutant beasts on a daily basis," General Zhang said .

When Wan Lan saw them walking together toward the survivors, she felt nervous . She was only a logistics' officer, while General Zhang was a well-respected figure .

She immediately glared at the survivors and warned them, "General Zhang is coming! You'd better be well-behaved!" And then, she stared at Jiang Liushi .

Jiang Liushi frowned . Although he didn't care about the female officer, she was becoming more and more excessive .

"You're sure trying hard to please the leading officer," Jiang Liushi remarked coldly .

"What did you say?" Wan Lan barked . "You are absolutely lawless . You survivors have a special ability and think you're something, but in reality you-" She came to an abrupt stop as Jiang Liushi pointed behind her . Wan Lan immediately understood what was happening and her expression turned ugly .

"Why is there such a commotion? Who are you scolding?" General Zhang asked with a smile . And then he glanced past her and noticed Jiang Liushi . General Zhang was astonished .

Jiang Liushi was not any better after looking at General Zhang . It was inconceivable that they'd meet there .

Wan Lan saluted the general and tried to explain while pointing at Jiang Liushi, "Reporting! General Zhang, he is the one who has been causing trouble since he entered . Moreover, he ignored my warnings . I don't think he should be allowed to join our safety zone . "

Jiang Liushi snapped out of his daze and retorted, "When did I make trouble? Do you think that you're the safety zone's sole representative!?"

Wan Lan was fuming in anger after hearing that . She couldn't believe that Jiang Liushi would act audaciously in front of General Zhang .

"You're still trying to argue? You are clearly trying to make trouble!" Wan Lan said anxiously, "How could someone like you be of help to the military? You are like mouse dung, which will ruin a pot of soup!"

"In other words, you're just opposed to this team because you think that they won't bring any positive effect to the military if they join?" General Zhang asked after listening to her accusations .

"Yes!" Wan Lan answered passionately as Jiang Liushi had totally annoyed her .

At the same time, Yang Ying took pleasure in Jiang Liushi's misfortune . In his mind, Jiang Liushi was doomed, and he would be forced to leave . He also thought that it was the best choice to use Wan Lan to drive them out . Not only did she adhere stubbornly to her ideas, but she also thought that everyone should obey the rules and her commands . He believed Lady Luck had finally smiled at him and Jiang Liushi would not dare to bother him henceforth . Fortunately, he could find a chance to kill Jiang Liushi, eliminating the possibility of any accidents later on .

"I beg to differ . This team has helped me quite a lot . " General Zhang smiled and walked in front of Jiang Liushi . "Little Jiang, it's nice to see you again . "

"General Zhang, the pleasure is mine," Jiang Liushi replied .

"What!?" General Zhang frowned .

"My bad, Old Zhang!" Jiang Liushi laughed and said again .

General Zhang smiled . "The scientists you escorted are safe . Thank you!"

"Don't mention it," Jiang Liushi replied .

General Zhang had cooperated with Jiang Liushi back in Shenhai Island . Moreover, General Zhang held in high respect Jiang Liushi .

Jiang Liushi had heard that General Zhang had led his soldiers to attack the Beast Nest near Shenhai Island and that he was heavily injured . Naturally, Jiang Liushi was delighted by the fact that the old general was still alive and kicking .

Wan Lan was thunderstruck by the relationship of Jiang Liushi and General Zhang .

Yang Ying didn't have it any better; he was terrified! His eyes almost popped out of his head while shouting in his heart, 'This is sheer fantasy!'
