Apocalypse King System

Chapter 141 141: Ye Feng's Astonishment

At this moment, inside the cockpit, the helicopter's alarm blared incessantly, the instrument panel in disarray. The pilot was utterly confused, the control stick was unresponsive, and he was on the verge of a heart attack.

Oddly enough, even though the rotor blades had stopped mid-air from a height of ten meters, and the engine had ceased working, the aircraft mysteriously didn't crash. There was no damage whatsoever, making the situation appear incredibly eerie.

"What's going on... Why is the alarm sounding?" The aircraft jolted, causing the soldiers and Ye Feng in the rear cabin to stagger.

"Colonel, I don't understand. The engine inexplicably stopped. By all rights, the plane should have crashed instantly, but now, there's nothing. It's just too strange," the pilot said with a troubled expression, completely baffled by the situation.

"Let's disembark. The other party is probably waiting for us..." Although surprised, Ye Feng, having weathered many storms, had a rough idea that this was a supernatural force at play. He opened the cabin door and stepped out of the helicopter.

Ye Feng scanned the surroundings and spotted Derick, whose conspicuous presence couldn't be ignored. Nonchalantly, Derick sat on a makeshift sofa in the open space, surrounded by a circle of attractive women, including the charming Judy.

Observing the two maids in maid costumes kneeling on the ground, the girl feeding Derick, and the small loli Moonlight beside him, Ye Feng immediately labeled Derick as a villain.

Behind him, over a dozen fully armed soldiers disembarked from the helicopter, following in Ye Feng's footsteps.

Ye Feng's gaze became wary; these soldiers didn't instill a sense of security in him. On the contrary, they made Derick seem mysterious and formidable, having asserted dominance right from the start.

Adjusting his attire, Ye Feng took a few steps forward, reaching a distance of less than three meters from Derick. This was an appropriate distance, not too far to hinder conversation and not too close to be intimidating. "Hello, I'm Colonel Ye Feng from the Directly Governed Grey Bear City Military District. May I inquire about your name?"

"Derick..." he said calmly, with an interested look at the Colonel.

Ye Feng received a report from one of the soldiers behind him and, under Derick's gaze, read aloud, "Mr. Derick, hello. According to discussions among the generals of the Grey Bear Military District, if you are willing to join the military district, contribute your strength to kill zombies, and save humanity, the Grey Bear Military District can authorize you with the rank of Major, along with a series of corresponding privileges, and grant you the Hero Medal for killing zombies."

Derick's gaze carried a hint of amusement. Starting off with a major rank—it seemed they were quite generous with titles.

Waving his hand dismissively, Derick wasn't bothered by these formalities. "Alright, you don't have to deceive me with these. Even if I don't know much about the military, I should be clear that the rank of a Major General is not something your Grey Bear Military District can bestow. I'm afraid even the Demon Capital Military District doesn't have that authority."

"I see you're a smart person. Are you not pretending to be ignorant here? National communication is practically cut off, military districts everywhere are acting independently, claiming to save humanity. Who do you represent? Probably just those in power within the Grey Bear Military District, right?"

"If you truly understand righteousness, in this prolonged apocalypse, why haven't we seen your military come to rescue the survivors? Even if deploying soldiers on a large scale is not possible, shouldn't there be helicopters sent for slow rescue operations? The result is countless survivors dead and injured until now. Yet here you are talking about saving humanity?" Derick sneered.

Distantly speaking, even these women in the hospital, if it weren't for Derick's protection, they would likely have ended up dead in the mouths of zombies. Otherwise, they would be hiding in some corner, barely surviving, waiting for the food to run out before starving to death.

That's why Derick always detests those who preach about morality, constantly talking about saving humanity and rescuing survivors. They clearly have the ability to rescue more survivors, but for their own interests, they turn a blind eye to numerous survivors dying tragically in the mouths of zombies.

Ye Feng's dorsal veins bulged as he was not oblivious to these issues. Now, being exposed so blatantly by Derick, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. "I apologize. The decisions of the military district are not something I, as a mere Colonel, can determine. However, I can assure you that within the next two days, helicopters will enter the city to rescue survivors."

"Hehe... rescuing survivors, or specifically

"Good... Lisa, go gather those maids for me," Derick instructed Lisa.
