The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1228 What is a Real Surprise?

"I'm in charge of the port, just tell me if you need anything!"

Zhang Su wasn't interested in any so-called surprise, feeling it couldn't be anything good. The surprise he wanted most right now was to figure out what had happened to him...

“Brother, your position should be higher than mine. I absolutely do not mean to look down on you. However, I am afraid that you will have difficulty making a decision on the matter at hand. Please inform the camp’s higher-ups. We have no ill intentions towards your camp. Please do not misunderstand.”

The commander of the third regiment spoke calmly and sincerely.

“I can contact the camp, but you need to tell me what exactly happened and what the so-called huge surprise is. If you don’t explain clearly, there’s probably no need to meet.”

Zhang Su couldn't judge the truth from the other party's emotions by listening to the radio signals, but it was better to ask clearly than to be kept in the dark.

“Brother, listen to me. This is a mission assigned by our leader. We’ve come to discuss matters related to the survivors of the Smoke City Camp and the LK Camp. We’re just errand runners. If there’s any surprise… we’ve had the honor of capturing an escaped traitor for your camp and are handing him over to your camp as a gift.”

The head of the third regiment even mixed in the dialect of the Jiaozhou Peninsula to ease the tension of the conversation.

"What the hell?"

This is such a damn surprise.

Pan Guoliang was shocked upon hearing the other party's words and lowered his voice: "Has someone defected from the camp?"

Zhang Su was also taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head to indicate that he did not know, asking directly, "What is the name of the traitor you are talking about?"

"That old man was a master from the original Yancheng camp. We had heard of him in Qing City. People called him the Sword Immortal, but I don't know his exact name. That old bastard stole a yacht from your camp. When we met him, we were less than a hundred miles from the Jiao Peninsula!"

???

"No... this, this is... Master Zhao left after asking me for permission, and the yacht was something I promised him!"

Zhang Su felt a bit confused and didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhao Kongkong went back to find Zhou Qingfeng, so how did he become a traitor?
"It's weird."

Pan Guoliang remained silent with a somber expression, unaware of the details.

"Let me answer first!"

Zhang Su was extremely frustrated. He pressed the call button: "We did indeed lose a yacht at our port. So that's what happened. Thanks to our friends at the Laoshan camp. I wonder how that sword immortal is doing now?"

"When we found him, the yacht had already turned off the engine. He was very weak and confessed without any resistance, saying that he had secretly escaped from Qincheng and was currently being held in the water room!"

The commander of the Third Regiment did not make trouble for Zhao Kongkong; this was his stepping stone for dealing with the forces in Qincheng.

"Master Zhao is very clever!"

After listening to what the other party said, Zhang Su immediately understood Zhao Kongkong's motive.

He didn't know why the yacht stalled, but Zhao Kongkong couldn't possibly be weak after leaving Tianma Island for just one day; he was definitely putting on an act for the people at the Laoshan camp.

As for why he said he escaped from Qincheng, it must be because Zhao Kongkong had gathered some information, and saying this would give him a greater chance of survival!

"What a pleasant surprise! Since you're so frank, brother, I'll contact the camp right away and invite the core leaders over. Is there anything else?"

Zhao Kongkong is not a core member, but he is a rare expert. Judging from his current performance, he is loyal, righteous and quick-witted. It is necessary to save him!

"Thanks, bro. That's all!"

After the call ended, Zhang Su sighed heavily and tilted his head towards the deck: "Let's go, let's make some arrangements." Zhang Su didn't ask about the other side's numbers or equipment; such information was too easy to fabricate. Regardless of the other side's situation, he just needed to be prepared on his own.

All combat personnel of the Yama Legion are stationed at Qincheng Port, and with the addition of large-caliber artillery and other armed forces, their protection is quite thorough!
Zhang Su and five other members waited at the dock. The others, through Wu Daqiang's remote instruction, successfully started the self-propelled howitzer and completed the loading of shells. The operation was certainly not smooth, and aiming was a problem, but as long as they did not fire, turning the turret was enough to intimidate the enemy.

Indeed, as the cargo ship at Laoshan Camp approached the port, the regimental commanders could clearly see the row of thick gun barrels and the rotating radar on the aircraft carrier's island. It was obvious that the aircraft carrier's air defense system had been activated!

"Look, thank goodness we didn't rush close to the port last time. Look at that row of cannons, holy crap, one salvo and we'd all be buried at sea!"

Regiment Commander Chi Chengjiang's finger trembled as he pointed at Qincheng Port, his heart filled with lingering fear.

"What are you talking about? The few howitzers we brought are nothing compared to this! They're completely useless... Isn't Qincheng a tourist city? Where did you get all this military equipment?"

The fat deputy regimental commander Tao Qinkang's face was filled with disbelief.

"Damn, I forgot the most important thing!"

Chi Chengjiang slapped his thigh: "Qincheng's economy is nothing compared to the rest of Hebei Province, but they have Beihe District. Just think about what the situation is like in Beihe District in the summer. It's normal for them to have a lot of weapons and equipment."

I even suspect that this port isn't the main base of the Qin City forces at all; their camp's defenses must be far more formidable!

"I think... it's a bit reckless for us to just approach like this; we should stick to the original plan!"

When Xu Nianrui, the strong and capable deputy regimental commander, heard the commander and the fat man talking, he frowned. He put it more tactfully, but what he really thought was, "Why don't we just turn back now?"
The original plan was to send someone to the port first to probe the situation, but after capturing the defector Zhao Jianxian, the regimental commander decided to make contact under the pretext of assisting in the capture of the traitor.

The chubby deputy regimental commander, Tao Qinkang, usually sided with the regimental commander, but this time he leaned towards Xu Nianrui and simply chose to remain silent.

Chi Chengjiang said earnestly, "Old Xu, I understand your thinking, safety comes first. But the other side isn't stupid, they might see through your tricks. After all, we're just messengers. If we're sincere, they won't make things difficult for us, especially since we've helped them catch the escaped traitor!"

"Go, tie that damned sword immortal up and bring him to the deck!"

As Qincheng Port drew closer, Chi Chengjiang gave an order.

"Now that things have come to this, let's hope everything goes well."

Xu Nianrui's face was gloomy, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. In the end, he could only attribute it to the heavy firepower protection of Qincheng Port, which caused him a lot of psychological pressure.

As time passed, the cargo ship slowly approached the port and, after receiving permission, gradually docked at its berth.

"Brother Su, these guys are really skilled; their boats are even more stable than the ones at the Yancheng camp!"

Wang Xin stood beside Zhang Su and spoke softly.

"Qingshi is also by the sea. Did you see those officers standing at the bow of the ship waving to us? Their uniforms are all custom-made. The Laoshan camp has specially trained a naval combat force. That's quite an idea!"

Zhang Su's gaze was sharp; he could see the situation on the other side even from dozens of meters away. Three men who looked like officers were escorting Zhao Kongkong, who was standing on the deck, smiling and waving at them, very enthusiastically.

While others couldn't see it clearly, he had already noticed the wave badges on the collars of the three men. The workmanship wasn't particularly exquisite, but it vividly demonstrated the three men's status and position.

They are still the naval combat force at Laoshan Camp now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future!

What is a real surprise? Who knows?
