As Tanaka Fuki finished speaking, Tokugawa Nagato opened his eyes, stopped spinning the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, and looked at the leading figure in the Jiangnan business world, Yoshihiro.

"Now we can only pray for a miracle. If it really doesn't work, let those evolved beings take our children away and hope they can survive!"

Tokugawa sighed, somewhat helplessly.

Many of them were with their wives and children, and crying could be heard from time to time. Even so, they did not give up protecting their families.

Many of their bodyguards have transformed into evolved beings; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive until now.

The three strongest among them are Uesugi Koshi, the captain of the special police team, and Tsunade, Tanaka Fuki's personal bodyguard—he was a special forces soldier and is highly skilled.

There's also Kuzhong, who used to be a skilled mercenary and was hired as a bodyguard at a high price.

186 Seeking a Glimmer of Hope

"Alas, I never imagined such a disaster would happen. Is God trying to wipe out humanity?!"

Someone sighed.

"If only someone could come to our rescue right now!"

A middle-aged man muttered to himself.

"Stop dreaming! You're still hoping... someone will come!"

Just as the others were about to respond, they suddenly noticed a group of people emerging from the alley in front of them, each holding a Type 79 assault rifle, staring blankly at them.

"Someone's coming! We're saved!"

"Secretary, there are people ahead! We're saved!"

Everyone perked up and looked at Chang Wei and his group with surprise and delight.

A slightly balding man next to Fujiwara Jun shouted to the leader of the group with a face full of ecstasy.

Fujiwara no Gun, Oshita Reifu, Tokugawa Nagatoshi, and Tanaka Fuki looked at them with a glimmer of hope. They thought they were in a hopeless situation, but they unexpectedly met Chang Wei and the others. The desire to survive rose involuntarily in their hearts—no one wants to choose death.

But what they didn't know was that Chang Wei was actually powerless to save them.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Chang Wei's first thought was to run away. He was about to turn back and tell everyone to run quickly, but things didn't go as planned. The zombies in front had already noticed them and immediately sent a group of them to pounce on Chang Wei and the others. The speed-type zombies took the lead and turned into streaks of shadows as they surged toward them.

"Damn it, we can't escape! Wo Ai Qingyuan, you guys back up! The rest of you, open fire! Shoot them hard! Don't let them charge over, or we're all done for!"

Chang Wei shouted loudly, picked up his submachine gun, and opened fire on the zombies.

"Da da da"

A barrage of gunfire immediately echoed throughout the area, carrying for miles.

They had no time to worry about anything else; if the zombies got close, apart from Chang Wei and his two companions, almost no one else would survive.

Bullets poured out as if they were free, and in just a few seconds, a magazine was emptied. They quickly replaced it with a new magazine, and the whole process took no more than ten seconds, all thanks to their prior deliberate training.

Chang Wei and the others lured the zombies away, greatly reducing the pressure on Secretary Fujiwara's side, and the defense line was no longer on the verge of collapse.

"Kill! We have reinforcements! Clear a path for the secretary and the others!"

"The safety of the Party Secretary and others must be ensured at all times!"

As the SWAT officers and bodyguards felt the pressure ease, a man in a SWAT uniform kept boosting morale amidst the horde of zombies.

He was burly and had a stern face. He held a dagger, and with a flick of his wrist, it pierced the brain of a speed-type zombie. Then the dagger circled around and returned to his hand.

"Captain, and our chairman too, you can't just focus on Secretary Fujiwara and the others!"

A burly man, nearly two meters tall and as tall as an iron tower, spoke in a deep voice. His body was as hard as steel and gleamed with a dark luster. The zombies' claws could not even leave a mark on him.

With a casual punch, the air roared, and the terrifying force split a powerful zombie in two.

"Hey, Tsunade, we're all in this together, no one can escape!"

On the other side, a thin, monkey-like man conjured a white bone spur out of thin air in his hand, which pierced through a special zombie like a spear.

He was once a world-renowned mercenary, but after growing weary of war, he willingly became Tokugawa's bodyguard.

Now he possesses a strange ability to freely control his internal skeleton to form sharp bone spurs that can pierce from anywhere!

"We don't know who they are, but they suddenly appeared and they all have weapons, which has relieved some of the pressure on us!"

Uesugi's gaze sharpened as he looked at Chang Wei and the others who were fighting the zombies.

"Hey, who cares who they are? They're all going to die anyway, no need to worry about them. Let's think about how to get these big shots out of here!"

Kuzhong looked at Chang Wei and the others with some disdain.

In his eyes, only evolved beings are worthy of his attention.

He felt a vague excitement. He had thought he had retired from the criminal world, made enough money, and would live a peaceful life. He hadn't expected this turn of events. His once calm heart slowly revived, and the feeling of life-and-death struggle on the battlefield resurfaced.

Therefore, he felt no sympathy for Chang Wei and the others, but only considered how to maximize his own interests and find a way to get these big shots out of the way. At that time, his status would definitely be greatly improved, and becoming a high-ranking human would no longer be a pipe dream.

"They saved us and helped us relieve some of our burden. Are we just going to abandon them like this...?"

Tsunade hesitated, seemingly reluctant to see the fate of Chang Wei and the others.

"Can we still save them? We're too busy taking care of ourselves right now. Think about yourselves. After using your powers for so long, your recovery can't keep up with the consumption. How much energy do you have left?"

"Besides, if they fire their guns, zombies from miles around will come running at the sound. If we don't run away now, we're really going to die!"

The words of the withered mound silenced them for a moment; though harsh, they were all true.

To protect these powerful figures, they had been using their superpowers for extended periods, leaving them exhausted and with little energy left to help others. They could only look at the other party apologetically.

Fujiwara Jun and the others frowned, seeing Chang Wei and the others exchanging fire with the zombies, and hesitated to speak.

Wang Xia Lifeng, standing to the side, glanced at his old friend, sighed, understood his thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder helplessly.

"To survive, someone has to make a sacrifice; it's either them or us. Now, faced with two evils, we must choose the lesser one and sacrifice them to find a chance for our own survival!"

187 Yokohama Secretary's Recruitment

"Hey, naturally we'll choose the more important one when comparing us. Your Majesty, you don't think he's less important than us, do you?"

Tokugawa shook his head, his expression a complex mix of sadness and joy.

Chang Wei and his men only had a little over a thousand bullets left. They had already used up a third of them in the previous battle, and with this barrage of fire, they would run out of bullets in just a minute or two.

"Click-click-click," the submachine gun made a hollow sound. Chang Wei and the others casually threw the gun on the ground and picked up their melee weapons.

Without bullets, a gun is no better than a fire poker.

But this wave of frenzied firepower also brought encouraging results. Hundreds of zombies were swept away, and a large open space was cleared in front of them. Even the special zombies were half wiped out by this impenetrable firepower.

"kill!"

Chang Wei roared and charged forward, taking the lead.

Even without guns and ammunition, he still possesses superhuman physical abilities.

His speed, faster than a bullet, allowed him to rush to the oncoming zombies in the blink of an eye—his Tang sword drew a circle.

Blade energy crisscrossed and tore through the air!

The space seemed to be shattered!

With a flash of silver light, the heads of the five zombies were no match for the sharpness of Chang Wei's Tang sword and were instantly severed, blood gushing out in torrents.

The others also charged forward fearlessly.

They all understood that in their current situation, retreat was impossible; the only chance of survival was to eliminate the zombies as soon as possible.

Sato was faster than Chang Wei, constantly weaving through the zombie horde. Each flash of black light meant a zombie had been killed.

In contrast, Ada Wong was more direct and brutal. As the first Level 3 Evolver among them, she possessed the strength of dozens of adults. Wielding a large iron rod, she created a death whirlwind. Zombies that came into contact with the iron rod were either smashed into mincemeat or sent flying.

"They're evolved beings too! There are three evolved beings!"

When Tokugawa, Tsunade, Tanaka, and others saw the power that Chang Wei and the others suddenly unleashed, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their inner shock hard to conceal.

"No wonder their firepower is so strong, and they even dare to venture deep into the city; they're all evolved beings!"

The bigwigs and others were also taken aback, and involuntarily put away their contempt for them.

"However, do you think you can act recklessly just because you've become an evolved being? Right now, even evolved beings are finding it difficult to survive in the Yokohama base!"

The three formed a triangular arrowhead, like a sharp sword, piercing fiercely into the horde of corpses and tearing a gap in their path.

"good chance!"

The elite special forces soldiers had all experienced countless battles. Seeing the crack that Chang Wei and the others had torn open, they no longer held back and mustered their last bit of strength to widen the crack.

"Run! Secretary, Chairman, run!"

A group of police officers and bodyguards escorted a group of important figures as they fled outwards through the crack that the evolved beings had forcibly torn open.

The people on both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding; one side was desperately trying to get in, while the other was desperately trying to get out. The two groups passed each other through the crack.
