The Dragon City, Changlin Street, Shengli District.

More than thirty military vehicles were blocked at an intersection. This place was close to the exit passage, surrounded by trading and logistics companies. It was also rush hour, with a lot of civilian vehicles, making the road congested and difficult to navigate.

"Beep beep!"

The driver of the lead military vehicle kept honking, signaling civilian vehicles to give way.

"Civilian vehicles ahead, move to both sides!" The officer in the passenger seat shouted through a loudspeaker. "Don't block the road!"

Zhou Xian sat in the car, turning his head to look at the surrounding scenery, feeling very anxious.

On the side of the road, civilian vehicles were urgently giving way to the military vehicles, but the road space was limited. They couldn't possibly fly over or disappear into thin air!

"Tap, tap!"

A burst of rapid footsteps arose, and people from the Transportation Department ran over, immediately starting to clear the road, directing civilian vehicles onto side roads.

With the Transportation Department clearing the way, the chaotic intersection gradually returned to order, and the military vehicle convoy sped along the side of the road.

Zhou Xian sat in the car and glanced at his watch. "How long will it take us to reach the 55th Army's defense zone?"

"At least an hour at the fastest!"

"Then make it the fastest!" Zhou Xian replied with a frown.

Hearing this, the driver floored the accelerator, speeding madly towards the south of the city.

About five minutes later, Zhou Xian saw the road out of the city, and the tense emotions in his heart eased slightly!

"Buzz!"

Just then, a dozen military trucks and military jeeps suddenly rushed out of the side street on the left, stopping horizontally on the side of the road.

"Clang!"

The door of the lead vehicle swung open, and An Zecheng, wearing a neat military uniform and holding an M-series rifle in his right hand, walked expressionlessly towards Zhou Xian's convoy.

"Everyone get out of the car!"

The head of the 55th Army's guard regiment followed closely behind, waving his hand and shouting at the trucks.

"Whoosh!"

A large number of soldiers jumped down, quickly forming ranks and following An Zecheng, marching towards the convoy in a very orderly manner.

Zhou Xian sat in the back seat of the car, turned his head to look at the road ahead, and immediately recognized An Zecheng. "Damn it, he's deliberately blocking me. I'm not going to argue with him, I'll sue! We'll talk about it later, go, we'll go from the back!"

As the order was given, the driver turned the car around, but before the car could fully turn, a large number of 55th Army vehicles also appeared on the road behind!

Zhou Xian glanced back and cursed with a hateful expression, "Damn it, An Zecheng, that old dog, is really disgusting! He doesn't dare to do anything, but at critical moments, he jumps out like a toad to block the road! It's disgusting just to step on him!"

Whether it was An Zecheng, Tan Hengqiang, or Zhou Xian and others, they all came from the Chinese Expeditionary Force, so everyone knew each other's personalities and affiliations.

An Zecheng had always taken a moderate route in the military over the years, biding his time and keeping a low profile, so Zhou Xian looked down on him somewhat. He felt that Old An lacked魄力 *po li* (courage and drive) and pretended to be confused at critical moments.

With the roads blocked in both directions, Zhou Xian couldn't leave and had no choice but to push the door open and get out of the car.

The 77th Regiment Commander was the first to follow, and three or four hundred soldiers in the convoy also jumped out.

Changlin Street!

An Zecheng held a steel gun in his right hand, his pace as swift as the wind, his aura fierce! Behind him were more than six hundred members of the guard regiment, and in front of him was a battalion of troops that had just entered from outside the district!

At this moment, thousands of people gathered on Changlin Street, which had never happened before in the Dragon City military!

After the distance between the two sides narrowed, Zhou Xian stepped forward and said directly, "General An! I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I'm going out to arrest people now. If you stop me! You have to consider the consequences with the regional council...!"

"Stop!"

An Zecheng waved his hand directly, asking with a blank expression, "I just have a few questions. Explain them clearly, and you can leave!"

Zhou Xian endured his impatience and replied with a gloomy face, "Ask!"

"Which unit attacked the soldiers and officers in my defense zone?" An Zecheng asked expressionlessly.

"Is it still meaningful to talk about this now?" Zhou Xian certainly wanted to protect the 77th Regiment. "This is a matter for the regional council...!"

"Don't bring up the council!" An Zecheng interrupted. "I'm just asking you, are you leaving or not!" If you want to leave, tell me, which unit attacked my defense zone!"

Seeing the two sides deadlocked, the 77th Regiment Commander immediately stepped forward and replied, "It was my unit! We received an order from the regional council to assist in the investigation, and that's why we sent troops to enter your defense zone with the investigation team! Your obstruction made a firefight unavoidable. This is the higher-ups' intention, not my personal decision, and some of our regiment were also injured!"

"Good!"

An Zecheng nodded, looked at Zhou Xian, and asked again, "Did you find anyone in our defense zone?"

"Not yet, but the person is definitely in your defense zone! After I catch the person, we can go to the regional council together...!"

"Whoosh!"

An Zecheng didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and directly cocked his gun. "Didn't find anyone! Then what's there to say?! An eye for an eye, right?!"

"Bang!!"

A gunshot!

Zhou Xian, who was speaking, only felt a warmth on his left face as liquid sprayed over him!

"Thud!"

The 77th Regiment Commander was shot in the head on the spot, falling straight to the ground!

Everyone was stunned. Zhou Xian's face was half red, and he looked at An Zecheng in disbelief, forgetting what he was about to say for a moment!

An Zecheng quickly scanned the officers behind Zhou Xian, raising his eyebrows and saying, "You're all captains! Then you're all responsible for notifying the troops to open fire, right?!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Although An Zecheng was old, his movements were very swift. After he finished speaking, he raised his gun and fired directly at the chests of the two officers on the other side!

"Thud, thud!"

Two more people fell to the ground!

"An Zecheng, what are you trying to do?!" Zhou Xian roared like a madman. "Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Whoosh!"

All the soldiers of the 77th Regiment rushed up, aiming their guns at An Zecheng!

In the center of the thousands of people, An Zecheng never shouted, but lowered his head to eject the spent cartridge, and said lightly to Zhou Xian, "You guys are playing tricks, forcing me to come to Dragon City! I came here, not causing trouble, not making enemies, always keeping a low profile! Is that not allowed? Damn it, even if you're from the investigation team! You can't just kill my people like chickens, can you?!"

"An Zecheng! Fuck your mother!" Zhou Xian had lost his mind. "If I don't kill you..."

"Bang!"

An Zecheng lowered his head and fired a shot, hitting Zhou Xian in the abdomen, causing him to kneel on the ground with a thud.

"Bang!"

An Zecheng raised his leg and kicked the other party in the face. "You little bastard! Who do you think you owe your current position to? Your dead grandfather?! Cnm (Cao ni ma - curse word), if it weren't for us old guys fighting for this country, you'd still be a nobody!"

"Attack!"

The head of the guard regiment roared, leading seven or eight hundred people, instantly rushing towards the convoy!

"Bang!"

An Zecheng took a step and fired a shot, shouting at the top of his lungs, "I used to be a civil official, but today I'm a military officer! Soldiers of the 55th Army, I don't care if you knew me before, but since you're following Old An, then if I can't guarantee your safety, I might as well go to the headquarters and work as a janitor!!! The 77th Regiment attacked first, and they didn't even find the person, so I'm sorry! Take them down on the spot, I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the 55th Army attacked from both sides, instantly engulfing the other side in a sea of people!

...

Five minutes later, at the garrison headquarters.

Tan Hengqiang hung up the phone and said softly, "Old An has made his position clear! Bloodbath on Changlin Street! In that case, what's wrong with giving him a seat in Dragon City?!"
