Chapter 834: Ambushed
Zhou Meng chuckled and explained to Peng Jing.
"Such an important matter, I should have acted with you all. Why didn't the section chief inform me?"
Peng Jing said calmly.
To notify you?
Do you want me to steal the credit so I can become the president and give orders to us?
After exchanging glances, Zhou Meng and the others said with a smile,
"Director Zhou didn't tell you because he considered that you had been working hard all day and needed to rest."
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Peng Jing shook his head again.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhou Meng frowned slightly.
“This is something we discussed together. Lao Peng, you can stay in the mining area.”
"Yes, we need you to stay behind and oversee things when we go to wipe out the Watchers."
The others also chimed in with their own words of advice.
"Alright then, I wish you all the best in your endeavors."
Hearing what they all said, Peng Jing stopped insisting.
Soon the rest of the fraternity were ready.
With Zhou Meng's order, the convoy left the stone mine in a menacing manner.
As the convoy disappeared into the darkness, a cold smile appeared on Peng Jing's face.
"Zhou Meng, you forced me to do this..."
Zhou Meng and his group, who were on their way to wipe out the Watchers Alliance, were completely unaware that they had fallen into Su Chen and Peng Jing's trap.
In less than two hours, they arrived at the town that Zhao Song had mentioned.
After being repeatedly ravaged by the apocalypse, the small town, which was already small in size and sparsely populated, became even more deserted and dilapidated.
"According to the drone reconnaissance, those people are living in the hospital at the entrance of the town."
"And it's certain that no one else has come to this town since they fled here this afternoon."
Zhao Song reported the situation in a low voice while operating the drone.
Through the drone equipped with night vision, Zhou Meng and his group could clearly see several cars parked haphazardly at the hospital entrance.
"The situation is very clear now, what's your take on it?"
Zhou Meng glanced sideways at the others.
"In terms of combat, Lao An and Lao He are the most proficient. You two should formulate the action plan."
Liu Chao said with a grin.
"Okay, then leave it to me."
An Wenjing took over command without hesitation.
"There are four of us, so let's each take charge of one direction and launch an attack on the hospital."
"Whoever lets the enemy go will have to take responsibility."
An Wenjing's meaning was very clear.
Anyone who lets a member of the Watchers escape will lose their chance to compete for the position of leader!
"OK, I'm fine!"
Zhou Meng looked at the others.
"can!"
"agree!"
Liu Chao and He Jiang nodded in agreement.
After everyone had finalized their battle plan, they began their operation.
Considering that the other side was just a small squad of defeated soldiers from the Watchers Alliance, Zhou Meng and several other high-ranking members did not take it seriously.
They led their men and, under the cover of night, quietly approached the hospital.
The original plan was for An Wenjing to give the order at 3 o'clock to launch the attack.
But just as the Brotherhood surrounded the hospital, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
"Boom!"
A blazing fireball suddenly landed on the hospital's outer wall.
A tremendous sound echoed through the night.
"Damn it, who started it?"
An Wenjing started cursing into the microphone.
"Enough with the talk, now is not the time to pursue this!"
He Jiang roared.
An Wenjing, being a seasoned veteran, quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice,
"Do it!"
Upon receiving the order, the four teams of men quickly rushed into the hospital from four directions.
The hospital, located in the small town, is not very large.
The room was empty except for a few long-dead corpses and various abandoned medical equipment.
Zhou Meng and the other four vice presidents led their respective teams to search the hospital.
However, they searched almost the entire place but didn't find a single member of the Watchers League.
"Director Zhou, how's the situation on your end?"
After the four teams met in the central hall of the hospital, An Wenjing said with a serious expression.
"Nothing was found..."
Zhou Meng shook his head.
"Me too!"
"No traces of human activity were observed."
Upon hearing this, An Wenjing's expression darkened, and he looked at Zhao Song beside him.
"Zhao Song, didn't you say you saw them escape here?"
“I saw it with my own eyes, and I have video evidence! They escaped here and never left.”
Under the intense gaze of the four powerful figures, Zhao Song was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
An Wenjing's expression was unpredictable,
"Either there's a secret passage here and they escaped."
"Or this place is a trap."
"Our top priority is to evacuate from here!"
Zhou Meng and the other three didn't say much and were just about to give the order to leave the hospital.
Then a loud "boom" came from above, followed by countless shattered concrete blocks falling down!
Fortunately, Zhou Meng and Liu Chao were both experienced in combat.
They instinctively began to use their supernatural abilities.
Two defensive domes, one made of flames and the other of lightning, appeared above the Brotherhood members.
The falling ceiling and rubble, as well as flames and meteorites, were all blocked by the defensive dome.
Most of the fraternity members were unharmed.
Only a handful of unlucky souls who were farther away died on the spot!
At this moment, Zhou Meng and the others, realizing what was happening, looked up.
The hospital, which originally had more than ten floors, now only had the floor they were on left.
The top dozen or so floors have been reduced to collapsed piles of stones.
The night sky was exposed before them, and fresh air rushed in.
Oh no, we've been caught in the summer heat!
Zhou Meng and the others were shocked!
That attack just now was incredibly powerful; it was definitely made by a D-rank ability user!
Before they could react, a large number of supernatural abilities flew towards them.
"defense!"
An Wenjing growled.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless defensive supernatural shields lit up around the Brotherhood.
The incoming supernatural spells collided with the protective barrier, creating a dazzling display of fireworks!
Under the cover of night, Zhou Meng and his men had no idea how many people were lying in ambush around them.
But one thing is certain: the other side has a large number of people!
I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark.
They were still besieged.
Continuing to fight like this is extremely disadvantageous.
"Old Zhou, organize the men and prepare for a breakout!"
An Wenjing growled.
But Zhou Meng ignored him and instead looked up at the night sky.
An Wenjing, Liu Chao, and the others were stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked up.
The once cloudless night sky was now shrouded in rolling dark clouds.
Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if a tremendous force was gathering within them!
