I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

"We're rich... Chu Yang, we're fucking rich!" Shen Lie was so excited that he was trembling all over, and reached out to touch the Type 92 pistol.

"Don't stand still! Move fast! Pick the most powerful and easy-to-carry one!"

Chu Yang calmly interrupted Shen Lie's ecstasy.

He moved extremely quickly, pulling four huge canvas bags from his backpack and throwing them on the ground.

Chu Yang's hands swept across the gun rack like phantoms.

Thanks to the "Mastery of All Firearms" taught by the pirate world, he was more familiar with these firearms than with his own fingers.

He didn't even need to look; with a single hand, he quickly swept ten perfectly maintained Type 92 pistols and fifty spare magazines into the bag.

Next came five Type 79 submachine guns, and then ten riot shotguns.

"Chu Yang, do you want these sniper rifles?" Shen Lie looked at the two Type 88 rifles with longing.

"Take one."

"Take all the 7.62mm sniper ammunition." Chu Yang's hands didn't stop moving. "Take all the slugs and buckshot for the shotgun! These are lifesavers for close combat against mutants! Take as many 9mm bullets as you can!"

The two men were like thugs doing free shopping in a supermarket, frantically stuffing weapons and ammunition into the canvas bags. In less than five minutes, the four heavy canvas bags were completely full.

"They're too heavy. I can only carry two at most." Shen Lie tried to lift them, his face turning red.

The weight of these steel pieces and bullets is terrifying.

I'll carry two on my back.

"Let's go!" Chu Yang deftly slung two bags, each weighing several tens of kilograms, onto his back, while skillfully pulling open the slide of a Type 92 pistol.

A crisp mechanical click.

The bullet is loaded.

This was the first time Chu Yang had truly held a firearm in this apocalyptic world.

That familiar, almost ingrained feeling of the gun gave him the illusion that he could easily control life and death.

"roar--!!"

"Hehehe..."

Just as the two men carrying their weapons stepped out of the blast door, a dense, chilling roar of zombies suddenly erupted from the top of the stairs leading to the basement! The loud noise of Chu Yang smashing the door earlier, along with the strong stench of blood emanating from the mutated monster's death, had finally attracted all the zombies on the first floor and in the yard!

"Damn it! We've been surrounded!" Shen Lie looked at the dark mass of corpses swarming down the stairs, and cold sweat instantly soaked his forehead.

"What's the panic?"

Chu Yang's voice was icy cold, without the slightest fluctuation.

He calmly raised the Type 92 pistol in his right hand, which had just been loaded, without even making any deliberate aiming motion.

Under the terrifying perception of his rudimentary Observation Haki, the heads of the zombies in the darkness appeared as clear red targets in his mind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The crisp, rhythmic gunshots rang out in the narrow underground corridor!

The blinding flashes of gun muzzle light flickered incessantly in the darkness.

Chu Yang's shooting was terrifying; he didn't pause at all, firing five shots in quick succession!

The five zombies at the front didn't even have time to roar before a burst of blood erupted precisely between their eyebrows, and they tumbled heavily down the stairs, crushing a large group of zombies behind them.

Every shot to the head! Every bullet hit its mark! "Holy crap!" Shen Lie was completely dumbfounded.

He knew Chu Yang was ruthless when it came to killing people, but he never expected that Chu Yang would also be such a freakish sharpshooter when it came to guns!

"What are you all standing there for! Make way!"

Chu Yang quickly removed the empty magazine, elegantly replaced it with a new one with one hand, and cocked it again with a "click".

"Charge with me!"

Chu Yang roared, wielding a Type 92 sword in each hand, and charged directly at the horde of zombies surging down like a terrifying god of death!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The deafening bursts of gunfire echoed through the enclosed space.

Chu Yang's marksmanship was superb. He moved left and right on the narrow stairs, and with each flash of his gun, a zombie's head would explode like a watermelon.

The horde of zombies that would drive ordinary people to despair was actually torn open with a bloody gash by Chu Yang's terrifying firepower and absolutely precise shots!

"kill!!!"

Shen Lie was also completely ignited by Chu Yang's ferocious fighting spirit. Carrying two heavy canvas bags on his back and gripping a riot shotgun in his left hand, he didn't even need to aim before brutally pulling the trigger at the dense horde of corpses above the stairs!

"boom!"

A terrifying storm of shotgun shells swept out in an instant!

The immense recoil made Shen Lie's arms go numb, but the seven or eight zombies in front of him were mostly blasted into pieces by this terrifying close-combat firepower, and they were sent flying backwards in a miserable state!

The two men, one after the other, furiously trampled over the broken limbs scattered on the ground, and fought their way back from the second basement level to the lobby on the first floor!

But just as they rushed out of the hall, preparing to climb over the back wall to escape...

A deafening roar echoed from outside the police station's compound.

The gunshot just now was like a loud signal flare in this desolate post-apocalyptic town, attracting all the zombies from several surrounding streets!

The massive iron gate was teetering precariously under the weight of the enormous horde of corpses outside, and even the riot control vehicles were being pushed so hard they scraped against the ground with a screeching sound.

"There are monsters outside the wall! If you climb over, you'll die!" Shen Lie roared in despair as he looked at the dense horde of corpses outside the wall, which resembled a black ocean.

"Who said we were going to use a VPN?"

Chu Yang accurately blew the head off a zombie in a police uniform that was trying to approach, his gaze calmly locking onto the police riot control vehicle in the yard—a vehicle that, though wrecked, had a high chassis and a sturdy exterior. "Get in! Run it out!"

Chu Yang roared, violently kicked a zombie aside, opened the heavy door of the riot control vehicle, and roughly threw the canvas bag inside.

Shen Lie followed closely behind, leaped up, and quickly slammed the riot control vehicle door shut.

"There are no keys in the car!" Shen Lie looked at the bare keyhole, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Without wasting words, Chu Yang skillfully pulled out a machete, roughly pried open the plastic cover under the steering wheel, and pulled out two thick wires, one red and one blue.

In the pirate world, he had even repaired complex warship engines, so the ignition system of this old-fashioned armored vehicle was child's play to him.

The two wires collided precisely.

"Sizzle!"

Sparks flew.

"boom--!!!"

The riot armored vehicle's powerful diesel engine roared like a beast, suddenly awakening!

"Hold on tight!" Chu Yang's eyes were filled with madness. He suddenly shifted into reverse and roughly slammed the accelerator to the floor!

"Buzz!!!"

The heavy riot control vehicle roared terrifyingly, its massive body suddenly reversing backward. Then, Chu Yang violently slammed the steering wheel to the floor, shifted into drive, and once again floored the accelerator!

"Bang--!!!"

The riot control vehicle's sturdy V-shaped crash barriers, like a raging battering ram, carried terrifying kinetic energy and brutally smashed open the rickety iron gate, charging directly into the dense horde of corpses outside!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere! The ear-piercing sound of bones shattering was incessant!

Those zombies that are terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people are like fragile building blocks in front of this steel behemoth weighing more than ten tons. They are mercilessly crushed, knocked away, and shredded under the wheels!

Chu Yang gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes icy cold.

The riot control vehicle's windshield wipers frantically scraped away the thick black blood and bits of flesh from the windshield.

On this crazy, desperate apocalyptic night, an armored vehicle stained with terrifying blood, like a raging steel Grim Reaper, tore through the dense sea of ​​corpses and roared arrogantly toward Qingshui Village.

"We have the gun."

Chu Yang glanced at the heavy canvas bags on the passenger seat, a cruel sneer curling his lips. "Now, it's time to set some rules for those scum who dare to covet Qingshui Village."

The heavy police riot control armored vehicle, like an ancient behemoth bathed in blood, slowly drove onto the winding mountain road leading to Qingshui Village, carrying the pungent smell of blood and the deep roar of its engine.

As the altitude rises, the nauseating stench in the air gradually fades, replaced by the cool, refreshing scent unique to the mountains and forests.

Chu Yang sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other casually resting on the edge of the car window.

His eyes were slightly closed, and the invisible ripples of rudimentary Observation Haki in his mind were spreading outwards in all directions like waves, with him as the center.

Shen Lie, in the passenger seat, was still excitedly counting the ammunition in the canvas bag. Two heavy Type 92 pistols were tucked into his waistband, and he was also tightly clutching the riot shotgun in his arms, as if he were holding the most beautiful lover in this apocalyptic world.

"Chu Yang, with this firepower, let alone thugs like Zhao Tianhu, we can fight our way through even the hordes of zombies in town!" Shen Lie wiped the blood from his face, grinning arrogantly. "When we get back, we'll reinforce those stone walls and set up these submachine guns on high ground. Let's see who dares to cause trouble in Qingshui Village then!"

However, Chu Yang did not respond to him.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became eerily silent.

Shen Lie's smile gradually faded as he keenly sensed that Chu Yang's aura had changed.

If Chu Yang, who fought his way out of the town earlier, was like a wildly drawn sword, then at this moment he is like a bottomless icy lake, calm on the surface but suppressing an extremely cold killing intent that can freeze one's bones.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lie subconsciously tightened his grip on the shotgun. "Pull the bolt back."

"Bullets loaded." Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his deep pupils. Without warning, he slammed on the brakes and simultaneously shut off the armored vehicle's engine.

The massive riot control vehicle came to a silent stop at a hidden bend in the road nearly two kilometers from the entrance of Qingshui Village.

"Something's happened in the village." Chu Yang's voice was as cold as ice. "There are uninvited guests, and they're not zombies."

Within the perception network of Observation Haki, the once tranquil Qingshui Village was now filled with unfamiliar, hostile, and war-like atmospheres.

These individuals possessed steady, powerful heartbeats and extremely disciplined movements; they were not ordinary survivors, but rather militants who had undergone rigorous tactical training!

What's even more deadly is that the core location where these auras gathered was the defensive stronghold that Chu Yang had painstakingly built!

"What?!" Shen Lie was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale. A deafening buzz filled his mind. "My parents! My parents are still in the village!"

He frantically pushed open the car door and tried to rush out, but Chu Yang grabbed his shoulder.

The terrifying power emanating from Chu Yang's iron-like hand rendered Shen Lie completely immobile.

"Calm down!" Chu Yang snapped, his gaze fixed intently on him. "If you rush down now, you'll only end up as a riddled-with-stone corpse; you won't save anyone! Follow me, we'll sneak over via the back mountain path!"

The two quickly shouldered their tactical backpacks filled with munitions, abandoning the massive armored vehicle, and like two agile mountain leopards, silently slipped into the dense bushes beside the road. Thanks to their absolute familiarity with the terrain and the early warning from their Observation Haki, Chu Yang led Shen Lie to perfectly avoid two extremely well-hidden sentry posts at the village entrance.

The two soldiers, dressed in black combat uniforms and carrying assault rifles, were completely unaware that death had just brushed past them in the grass less than ten meters behind.

"Their equipment is too sophisticated, with night vision goggles and tactical communication headsets. This is not an ordinary thug, this is a regular army!" Shen Lie lay on a cliff on the back mountain, using binoculars to see the defenses below. His voice trembled with extreme anger and fear.

Chu Yang remained silent, his Observation Haki operating at full power, rapidly sweeping across the entire surrounding farmland of the village.

Suddenly, Chu Yang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Come with me."

Your parents are fine.

The two slid down the vines along the side of the cliff, avoiding all the main roads, and found their way to the back of a dilapidated farmhouse in an extremely remote area at the end of the village.

This is Old Wang's house in the village. Because the location is too remote, even the dogs are too lazy to come here.

Chu Yang gently tapped three times on the wooden plank in the backyard that was disguised as a pile of dry firewood.

Three long and two short.

A slight creak came from beneath the wooden plank, and then, with utmost care, the plank was pushed open a crack. A pair of terrified, bloodshot eyes peered out through the gap.

"Dad!" Shen Lie suppressed his voice, his eyes instantly reddening.

Hiding in the cellar were Shen Lie's parents and Old Wang.

When Shen's father saw his son, tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly pushed aside the wooden planks with trembling hands and pulled the two of them into the dark and damp cellar.

"Ah Lie! You're finally back! You scared me to death!" Shen's mother hugged Shen Lie tightly, suppressing her sobs, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

"Uncle, Aunt, what exactly happened?" Chu Yang put down the heavy ammunition bag, his sharp gaze sweeping over the three elderly people. "What happened at the base?"

Mr. Shen wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "This afternoon, not long after you left, five or six SUVs suddenly drove into the village."

Twenty or thirty fully armed men in black came down.

They didn't even bother to ask what happened; they went straight to our stronghold after entering the village!
