You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

The man who got out of the car had an old-fashioned demeanor.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked at the chaotic crowd ahead and couldn't help frowning before he turned to his men beside him and said,

"Go, separate them all."

"What a mess, what do they think this place is?"

Upon hearing their boss speak, the others immediately rushed toward the crowd fighting in front of the hotel.

As they charged, they shouted:

"Hey, stop fighting!"

"Damn it, this is the market area!"

"Who let you fight here, have you no rules?"

The men in blue uniforms seemed like nothing more than ruffians and hoodlums.

But when it came to fighting, they did not hold back at all.

Especially when they were up against the people from the Security Bureau, they fought fiercely and cursed, striking so hard that they quickly floored four or five of them.

Li Rong had been sitting in his SUV.

He was completely focused on Peng Yue and those underlings, not paying any attention to what was happening behind him.

By the time he realized something was wrong and looked back, the men in blue uniforms had already surrounded all of the Security Bureau's agents.

"Bang!"

A man's body slammed heavily onto the hood of the SUV.

As he was about to slide off the vehicle, two more men in blue uniforms rushed up to hold him, followed by another vicious kick to the stomach.

"Pff—"

A cloud of blood mist spurted out.

Separated by a pane of glass, Wang Rong's entire face contorted with rage.

He pushed the car door open with one move and placed his gun right against the temple of one of the men in blue uniforms!

"Fuck your mother!"

"Who gave you the guts to hit my men?"

The two police chiefs who climbed out of the car after him, seeing the situation, clenched their teeth and immediately drew their guns and fired at the ceiling!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The third shot, however, was fired by Li Rong.

Seeing that the trio seemed to have no intention of backing down, he simply shot and broke one of their legs.

The sudden gunfire made the tangled crowd suddenly quiet down.

Everyone looked around nervously, their eyes reflecting a measure of caution as they tried to identify who had fired the shots.

Soon, everyone's attention focused on the man in the blue uniform lying on the ground, clutching his broken leg and howling in pain, then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The people from the company took the opportunity to retreat and gather again in front of the hotel, each showing a hint of confusion.

Who were these men in blue uniforms?

Subordinates of the Security Bureau?

Reinforcements?

But the Security Bureau and the men in blue uniforms looked as if they were about to breathe fire from their eyes, their expressions ferocious and menacing toward each other.

The police chiefs recognized the identity of these men at a glance.

City Management Bureau.

They were in charge of maintaining order in this area.

But Li Wanhao, when defining the responsibilities of each department, had not made things clear.

Order?

What order?

If it were according to the previous Shen Zhou government, in theory, the City Management Bureau was only responsible for planning the market area and economic order.

Public security was supposed to be managed by the Security Bureau.

But it seemed Li Wanhao hadn't thought it through that thoroughly.

He just mentioned order.

Hence, the City Management Bureau directly considered the entire market area as their turf and dealt with both economy and public security.

Naturally, the Security Bureau couldn't accept this.

Their directive was that they were in charge of public security for the entire Wanhao District, including the market area, without exception.

Coupled with the lucrative benefits of the market area, conflicts between the two parties deepened.

At first, there were just some verbal conflicts.

Later, it escalated to brawls.

The most severe incident resulted in a total of more than ten casualties from both sides.

Wanhao District head Li Wanhao was naturally furious when he learned of the incident.

But he just verbally criticized the two department heads and had them shake hands and make peace at the dinner table, agreeing to never let such an incident happen again.

As for the security of the market area, it was to be the joint responsibility of the two of them.

However, this arrangement did not resolve the underlying conflict between the two men; instead, it formed a hidden danger that festered in everyone's heart.

Thereafter, although there were no more public, large-scale clashes, private squeezing and competition were present everywhere.

Just like today.

When the City Management Enforcement officers saw the Security Bureau's black uniforms, they were already excited, they were out for blood, from the top down.

It seemed like they were breaking up a fight, but in reality, they ambushed the company's men from both sides.

The way they handled it was utterly ruthless.

Show mercy?

The last time their colleagues were taken away by the Security Bureau, they ended up with their asses split open.

What reason did these black-jacket dogs have to show restraint?

Just do it and be done with it!

At this moment, seeing a comrade on the ground clutching his leg and screaming in agony, the city enforcers' anger surged, daring to fire a gun?

"Damn it!"

"Everyone saw it, right!"

"It was those motherfucking black jackets who fired first, draw your weapons!"

The leader was a deputy captain from the bureau.

As he shouted at the top of his voice, the twenty-some city enforcers immediately pulled out the shotguns and improvised firearms they carried with them.

The blackness of the barrels was chilling to the observer's core.

Even though the police chiefs were very aware that half the guns were just for show and might not fire, their bodies still tensed instinctively.

Just then, a voice suddenly shouted from among them:

"I dare you to try it!"

Dozens of gazes simultaneously turned in that direction.

They saw that the person who had spoken was the Security Bureau Chief, Li Rong.

He held his pistol high, his face so grim it seemed water could drip from it.

His twisted expression clearly conveyed the rage in his heart.

The noisy city enforcers immediately fell silent.

The looks they gave him were a mix of disdain, mockery, and some fear.

Both the Security Bureau and the City Management Enforcement were divisions that had branched out from under Li Wanhao.

Both department heads had followed him since Disaster Day, earning the title of Li Wanhao's arms.

With Li Rong now exerting his authority, the city enforcers didn't quite dare to speak out.

The man on the ground served as a warning.

Li Rong wasn't one to hesitate when it came to killing.

In his current position, killing a few city enforcers would just be that, nothing more.

What could be done about it?

At most, it would cost him his life.

When it's soldier to soldier, general to general, it's natural for heads of departments to sort things out among themselves.

Sure enough, the city enforcers quickly dispersed to either side, creating a path, and then a man slowly emerged.

His slightly portly round face appeared somewhat honest.

But at this moment, he wore a hint of coldness.

"Li Rong, don't you think you owe me an explanation for injuring my men?"

"An explanation?"

Li Rong, upon hearing this, showed his anger even more unreservedly.

"You fucking ask me for an explanation?"

"Last night, my nephew was killed here!"

"Who gives me an explanation?"

"Huh?"

To his surprise, the man opposite him suddenly threw back his head and burst into loud laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha!"

"Are you trying to pin this on me?"

"Li Rong, haven't you always said that the market area is under the Security Bureau's control?"

"Your nephew is dead, and you don't ask your own men for an explanation."

"What are you doing, running over here and going mad?"
