After the Skyfall

Chapter 826 Struggle with the Dead
The team's disagreement led to a temporary halt in the operation. When Zhang Yan reported this to Minister Wang Jianming, Wang Jianming on the other end of the walkie-talkie was furious.

“I’m telling you, the operation must be carried out precisely at 10 o’clock. That’s an order. As for other things, that’s not something you should be concerned with. In short, before dawn today, that building must be destroyed, and the three dead men lingering there must be eliminated.”

"If your team can't do it, then retreat. I will arrange for team two to take action."

At this moment, Wang Jianming wished he could strangle Jiang Yan.

Are you the only smart one in the world? You knew that Taiyi might stay in this world after the building was destroyed, but didn't everyone else know that? Please, use your pig brains! Is this a multiple-choice question?

With power at that level, the opponent had no choice; whatever Taiyi wanted to do, no one could stop him.

Moreover, the other party is already comparable to a god, so why should they stay in this barren world? In reality, I have never seen a person who has achieved great success return to a kindergarten and rule over a group of children.

Do not try to understand deities with the mindset of ordinary people.
They are no longer the same species.

Although Jiang Yan has some cleverness, that's all. His understanding hasn't reached the national or global level. Ultimately, it's because his status is too low. Only when Jiang Yan reaches his own level will he realize how foolish his thinking is.

"No, this Jiang Yan is making things difficult. We can't let his reputation affect the credibility of the entire country. In the conversation between the leader and Taiyi yesterday, destroying this building and completing this mission is of utmost importance. If we break our promise, the consequences will be very serious."

Wang Jianming's eyes flickered, and he finally picked up the walkie-talkie again, switching to another channel: "Commander Yang Hua, there are some problems with the Living Dead team. One of them, Jiang Yan, refused to participate in this mission and is inciting other Living Dead members. I suggest you kill him immediately to reduce his impact."

"Understood." A steady voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

And this moment.

Within the lockdown zone.

The ten members of the undead are still waiting.

Jiang Yan said at this moment, "Everyone, I am doing this for everyone's sake, and I have no selfish motives. Although doing this will cause some trouble for the higher-ups, I think it is worth the trouble. The threat of a god is greater than that of countless dead people. The people above do not understand and act hastily. We cannot do that. We must remind them."

"What if the higher-ups are adamant? Are you really going to refuse the mission and resist this operation? Don't forget, there's Squad Two, Squad Three, and even Squad Four behind us," Han Chuan said.

"I'll only do what I can do; I can't control the rest," Jiang Yan said. "I just hope the other living dead have the same awareness as me. The fate of the world is in our hands. If we do nothing, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives when things go wrong."

He kept saying things, trying to enlighten the others and get them to stand on his side.

But as they talked...

Sudden.

boom!
A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the night.

next moment.

Jiang Yan's head exploded instantly while he was still speaking, turning him into a headless corpse. The person standing next to him felt a buzzing in his head and blood splattered all over his body.

Such a sudden change is astonishing.

"W-what happened?" Zhang Yan was also terrified. He stared blankly at Jiang Yan's fallen body.

He had not received any order to fire, so how did a sniper suddenly appear and kill Jiang Yan?
The other undead then realized what was happening.

This shot was a warning; if they refused to carry out the mission, Jiang Yan would be their fate.

"Why did you shoot? Why did you shoot and kill Jiang Yan? He did it for everyone's good." A living dead man next to him said angrily, "I can't accept this."

"If you can't accept this, you can quit this mission. As a living dead, this is your only option." At this moment, a sudden voice rang out.

Then, a middle-aged man in military uniform with a resolute face strode over, followed by another squad of undead.

"My name is Yang Hua. From now on, this place is under my direct control. Does anyone else want to withdraw from this operation?" He coldly swept his gaze over everyone: "Before participating in this mission, someone should have told you that this mission is different from the past and must be completed. Now you actually want to give up because of a few words? What do you take this place for?"

“If it weren’t for the fact that only the living dead can deal with the dead, you wouldn’t even be qualified to get involved in this matter.”

Done.

Yang Hua checked the time again; "It'll be 10 o'clock in ten minutes. Those who are willing to carry out the mission, get in place immediately. Those who are not, get out now."

These words of reprimand, coupled with Jiang Yan's death, led to his being scolded.

The undead involved in the operation now had a clear head and realized that the seriousness of this mission was not just talk; if they sabotaged the operation, they would be killed without hesitation.

Even if you are a living dead with a noble status, you are still incredibly insignificant at the national level, no matter how special you are.

"I understand. I will participate in this mission." Han Chuan took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking.

“The higher-ups should already know about Jiang Yan’s matter. Since they still insist on taking action, I have no objection,” said the man whose face was half charred, thus stating his position.

"I'll participate too," others chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hua nodded slightly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's take action immediately."

Without saying another word, the group headed toward the sealed-off building. Although one person was missing from the group, a strange undead was quickly brought in and joined the team.

Li Yi, who was in the sky, could see everything that was happening here clearly.

He chose not to intervene, but rather wanted to see how these people would react to their differences. However, the final result did not disappoint him. The country's top leadership was very rational and clear-headed, and immediately killed the person who was undermining morale.

However, this is indeed the right thing to do.

If there is no consensus within the team, nothing can be accomplished. There must be a strong voice to lead everyone in one direction, and even if there are disagreements, they must be suppressed.

However, this little incident did not ultimately affect the final operation.

10 o'clock sharp.

Ten undead men entered the building.

The building was lit with dim yellow lights; judging by the time, the family of three should have returned home from outside.

"Watch out, those three dead bodies have appeared." Han Chuan's warning came from inside the stairwell.

Everyone heard it.

Three footsteps sounded on the stairs, and a battle between the living and the dead was about to break out. In most cases, the living were at a significant disadvantage, as they had very limited means of fighting the dead, and killing them was even more difficult.

But this mission was special; they had no choice but to succeed.

Subsequently.

The man, whose face was half charred, walked silently toward the three footsteps.

At the same time, two more undead emerged from behind.

They had to intercept the dead in the stairwell and absolutely could not let these three dead people return to the haunted house, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with them. Everyone knew this.

"The battle has begun."

On the auspicious cloud, Li Yi lowered his gaze. He sensed the commotion inside the building, but he was not interested in the details of the battle. All he wanted was the result, nothing more.

soon.

Casualties have occurred.

A person was pushed out of the stairwell window by an invisible force, and before they even hit the ground, they were already dead. Their body lay motionless on the ground in a strange shape.

However, other people quickly took the body away and immediately sent it for cremation.

The purpose of this is to prevent people from becoming new dead after they die and continuing to linger in this place.

After one of the undead died, new people quickly entered the building to provide support, replenishing manpower and preparing for a fierce battle.

Followed by.

A scream echoed through the building, and the yellowish lights flickered intermittently.

Clearly, someone else has died.

The three dead bodies were still lingering inside the building, and had not been dealt with. Clearly, this mission was more difficult than expected.
