The city population structure of Hai Shan Wei consists of about 85% Rakshasa, about 10% Qin Han People, and 5% other ethnic groups.

A small portion of these Qin Han People arrived after the apocalypse, but most have always lived in Hai Shan Wei.

Some have immigrated, some have not, but basically, all of them have already adapted to life here and have no plans to return to Qin Han.

From the beginning of the apocalypse until now, life in Hai Shan Wei had been relatively peaceful until today when it was completely shattered.

Upon learning that Ye Fan's Dawn Army was coming to attack Hai Shan Wei, many people here cursed the Dawn Army.

They believe it is the Dawn Army that disrupted their peaceful life, engaging in conflicts amidst the apocalypse, which they think is utterly foolish.

So when Hai Shan Wei asked them to block the city gate, many immediately responded.

Nearly ten thousand people came to the south gate of Hai Shan Wei, half of whom were of Qin Han descent.

These people hastily gathered some cloth, bedsheets, and such, on which they wrote protest slogans.

When the Dawn Army's troops arrived near the south gate of Hai Shan Wei, they encountered this blockade.

"Dawn Army, go back to Dawn City!"

"Hai Shan Wei does not welcome you!"

"Ye Fan! Damn war profiteer!"

These people waved their arms high, attempting to block the advance of the Dawn Army with this demonstration.

Leading the attack, Wang Hu did not dare to act rashly and immediately reported the situation to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took the walkie-talkie from the communicator, listening to the report while watching the radar screen.

Inside Hai Shan Wei, a large force is assembling, preparing to launch a final attack towards the concentration camp.

Without a doubt, this is a stalling tactic by the Rakshasa.

If the over twenty thousand women in the camp are captured again, Rikov could use them as hostages to negotiate with me.

After hearing Wang Hu's report, Ye Fan issued a direct command:

"The heavy bombs on the bomber haven't been dropped yet, right? Drop one at the south gate. This battle has lasted long enough, it's time to end it. Once the bombing is complete, the first and second regiments will launch a full-scale attack immediately. The targets are two-fold: capture the bank and eliminate as much of the enemy's live forces as possible."

"Understood!"

Wang Hu and the bomber units received the order, and beside Ye Fan, Chief of Staff Zhongjing asked, "General, won't this affect your reputation somewhat...?"

Ye Fan smiled, "These people are no longer our compatriots; they are our enemies. It's only right to eliminate enemies on the battlefield. As for reputation... now, in the apocalypse, I believe that a fearsome reputation is more effective than a merciful one."

....

Soon, after two rounds of combat, the upgraded Two-Star bombers had replenished their ammunition and pounced once again towards the south gate of Hai Shan Wei.

The protesters were standing outside the south gate at this time, and some, in their anger, were even bare-chested.

They shouted loudly and attempted to throw stones at the distant Dawn Army.

Nations differ; in the Qin Han Empire, no one would dare to do this, but here, it's quite common, with protests, parades, and even riots breaking out frequently.

It was already the latter half of the night, and in the cold before the gate of Hai Shan Wei, these people lit torches and lights, forming a grand protest crowd.

They encouraged each other, warmed each other, and the atmosphere grew even more fevered, as if victory was in sight.

It was at this moment that the bombers arrived.

The engines roared in the sky, and when the bombers arrived, these people were even flipping them the bird.

But no one expected that when the bombers flew overhead, they actually dropped bombs directly!

Heavy bombs, a type of weapon that few have witnessed in action.

The Dawn Army's planes dropped the bombs from an altitude of 3,000 meters, and each bomb weighed two tons!

Falling from such a height, the explosion could cause devastating damage to targets within a 700-meter radius!

The power of the explosion could penetrate an 8-meter layer of soil!

The Dawn Army had already retreated to a safe distance, watching as the bomb landed near the south gate with an error margin of about fifteen meters.

With such power, a fifteen-meter error is nothing.

Boom~~~~!

A dazzling mushroom cloud rose from the south gate, with fiery shockwaves quickly spreading to both sides.

Although not as fierce as a nuclear bomb, nothing could survive within a radius of more than a kilometer!

Buildings within five hundred meters were almost entirely destroyed by this strike!

The scorching hot wave swept past, and even Wang Hu, a kilometer away, felt a burning discomfort.

"Luckily, this weapon doesn't rely on nuclear energy; otherwise, this area wouldn't be habitable for decades."

Wang Hu adjusted his clothes, "Alright, brothers, those blocking flies are gone, it's time for us to put on a show. Charge into Hai Shan Wei and let the Rakshasa see the Dawn Army's urban combat capabilities!"

"Charge!"

All the soldiers of the Dawn Army boarded their vehicles and, with the ground still somewhat scorching, roared into Hai Shan Wei city, where the south gate no longer existed.

The more than ten thousand people who had gathered here previously were entirely obliterated by a single heavy bomb, and this place was now a wasteland.

The power of this bomb not only completely annihilated those blocking the way but also destroyed Rikov's confidence.

"This... this... damn Ye Fan, he's a ruthless butcher devoid of humanity!"

"I will expose him, I will condemn him, I will go to other places in the country to expose his inhumane acts!"

As he spoke, Rikov quietly left the command post.

He knew this battle could not continue.

Although the Rakshasa still had nearly twenty thousand troops, without air superiority, these troops wouldn't amount to much.

Of course, the Dawn Army couldn't wipe out these troops all at once either, so he immediately ordered the troops to disperse within the city and rely on the urban environment to engage the Dawn Army in street battles.

The Rakshasa team, fiercely attacking the concentration camp, had no choice but to obey orders and began dispersing throughout the city.

Instantly, the city fell into chaos, as Rikov had only given the order to disperse, and the Rakshasa Soldiers, fearing capture, all wanted to seize a favorable position for resistance, leading to a complete lack of order.

The streets were flooded with troops, seizing buildings, civilian homes, and good hiding spots.

The city, once orderly, was thrown into disarray in an instant.

During this chaos, Rikov took the opportunity to speed away in a jeep.

Within Hai Shan Wei City, he had a secret base, where there was a concealed runway and a small jet plane, his private escape craft.

At this moment, he drove a jeep, abandoning everything, and headed at high speed towards his secret base, a large villa.

As the vehicle reached the entrance, it lost control due to its high speed and crashed into a roadside flower bed.

Fortunately, Rikov, being a Level 2 Mutant, had an exceptionally robust physique and wasn't injured, though he was disoriented as he got out.

Kicking the door open, he headed straight for the villa's basement.

In the basement, a plane was parked, able to roll straight out of the basement door onto the garden runway.

Entering the basement, he casually turned on the light.

The sudden bright light made him squint slightly, and when his vision cleared, he was nearly jaw-dropped in shock.

He saw his woman, holding a pistol, flanked by two men also aiming guns at him.

"Xiaoyu! Why are you here? Who... who are they?"

Though aware things weren't right, Rikov still tried to maintain composure.

Xiaoyu sneered, "Don't call me that intimately; our relationship isn't that good. Why do you think I'm here? You've brought me to your secret retreat before, haven't you? As for them... they're my colleagues."

Rikov's face turned ashen, "You betrayed me? You Qin Han People have a saying, 'A night of husband and wife creates a hundred days of grace', do you not cherish the past?"

"Stop joking, who was ever husband and wife with you? Those were just delusions under the influence of your drugs. I'm the Vice Director Duanmu Xiaoyu of the Dawn Army's Military Intelligence Bureau. This is our Director Shen, and this is our Vice Director Chen. We're here today to capture you. Rikov, surrender, don't resist in vain."

Rikov looked at the three people in front of him and finally burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright! To catch me, you even deployed a director and two vice directors, you really hold me in high regard. But is it just you three? Why don't you call out the rest of your Military Intelligence Bureau and come at me together!"

The man in the middle shouted, "Rikov, let me tell you, in fact, our entire Military Intelligence Bureau is here today. The area around is sealed off with a tight net. You can't escape!"

Director Shen then shouted outside, "Brothers outside, prepare the machine guns. If anyone tries to run out, fire immediately and turn them into a beehive!"

Rikov nervously scanned the surroundings, he was actually quite skilled at reading microexpressions, and when Director Shen said the whole Military Intelligence Bureau was here, he seemed to be telling the truth.

But he couldn't see any signs of others hidden around, which was the most distressing unknown.

He now had two choices, one was to turn and flee, the other to fight to the death.

But Director Shen had already ordered the outside to block him, so turning and fleeing was not an option, leaving him no choice but to fight.

Ignoring everything else, Rikov bellowed and lunged at the trio.

As a Level 2 Mutant, handguns weren't much of a threat to him in this basement environment, even if the three were all Level 1 Mutants, they definitely wouldn't be his match.

As long as he could take down these three key Military Intelligence Bureau figures, he'd have a chance to live.

But unexpectedly, Director Shen turned out to be a Level 2 Peak Mutant as well.

As soon as he charged, Director Shen's continuous heavy punches forced him back, and Xiaoyu with the other person kept firing at him, making Rikov very uncomfortable.

A bullet hit his calf, causing him difficulty in movement.

Director Shen seized the opportunity to pounce and knocked him to the ground.

Then the three of them swarmed over, pinning Rikov firmly to the ground.

No matter how hard Rikov struggled, it was futile, as Director Shen's strength surpassed his, and Xiaoyu, this seemingly fragile woman, actually possessed the power of a Level 1 Peak Mutant.

The three of them together left him no chance.

Beside him, Chen Lan took a rope that had long been prepared, and tied Rikov up like a pig.

The once mighty post-apocalyptic overlord became a captive of the Dawn Army in the basement.

As Rikov was carried out of the basement by Director Shen and Vice Director Chen, he looked up at the outside.

In the distance, the roar of gunfire echoed, but this villa area remained quite serene, with no visible signs of ambush around.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where's your Military Intelligence Bureau's ambush outside?"

Before Xiaoyu could answer, Director Shen unexpectedly stuffed a rag into his mouth.

"Since you're already a captive, don't say so much nonsense, there were only three of us from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and didn't you still get caught?"
