"Run! We have to run immediately!" a small group of survivors returned to their base and behaved hysterically. From their expression, it looks like they saw something much more horrible than a Titan.
"There's a group of Living Dead coming to where we are. We must escape now, or all of us will become their food!" the few survivors continued to persuade everyone inside the base, but nobody is willing to listen.
Until...
"Urgh! Urgh!" one of them suddenly shivered for no reason. His mind turned blank out of sudden, with the eye turning around as a lizard does.
After a minute, he stopped. That anti-socializing behavior only appeared for a moment before he kneeled on the ground and drools. Weird things move inside his body, with his veins bulging.
One of them pops, and black blood sprayed. When it landed on people's clothing and surfaces, bitter smell spreads. Although it was not corrosive like acid, the pungent smell it gives out hurts their nose.
Then, something else happened.
Flesh grows on the survivor's shoulder, and very quickly, he transformed into a Titan-2. But if one looked properly on his figure, it doesn't seem that similar.
No.
Instead of a Titan-2, isn't that a proper Titan, only shorter?
"ROAR!" the survivor transformed Titan howled, and the survivors that came back with him also suffered from the same illnesses. The kneeled, growl, and started to undergo some mutation inside their body.
Even the female that got some black blood on her skin went along with them and started to turn into something hideous.
After struggling and crying for help like ten minutes, the cabin where they're gathered explodes into pieces and allowed over twenty Titans running around hunting for their next target.
The entire base fell within half an hour while leaving no casualties on the Titans. More Titans returned to this place after ten more minutes. They look so casual as they came in.
That's because they're originally the survivors from this camp.
...
The same event happened throughout the outer circle of Changyang. In less than a day, 90% of the survivor's base fallen, with the survivors inside the 22 zones of Changyang delivered a Kill Order on all moving targets.
Just like this, all survivors outside of Changyang are gone. They're either turned into a part of the mutants or killed before they managed to enter the outer bases.
They called this incoming event as...
[Titanfall]
But mankind still showing an unwilling stance towards mutual cooperation. Changyang was divided into 22 parts before this, and even now, they're still reluctant to unite their strength.
The Western side had their meeting early, which is caused by the influence of three top tier gangs there. They quickly formed their Changyang Western Alliance, where the Xicheng Base, Tang Family Gate, and Sandrock Base will cooperate for the same cause.
As for the Eastern side, their meeting only begins now.
Sitting inside the new Meeting Room that his people refitted, Zhang Qin Feng is organizing a meeting between all Eastern survivor bases.
As the lord in this place, Zhang Qin Feng naturally reserves a seat in the middle, with Wanshui Group and Yang Militarized Group leader seated at his left and right.
There are 18 base leaders present inside this meeting also, totaling up to 21 influential bases, here in the eastern zone.
Of course, nobody questioned Zhang Qin Feng's right to be seated in the middle. When they're entering the base, Guo Jing, as the second in command of 500 Azure Wind Soldiers, graciously escorted them into this meeting room.
Their path was designated on purpose to circle the Factory and Entertainment area before reaching the Military HQ on the Shangwen Plot Main Street.
Being showered with the sight of a printing purpose hall, canteen, pubs, and then the parked arsenal outside, it silenced everyone from trying to make trouble during their discussion.
"I believe all of you already know the destruction brought by the Titanfall." Zhang Qin Feng started the meeting after he greets the two top tier gangs sitting by his side.
The people present inside the room nodded. Nobody doesn't know about what is happening outside of Changyang City.
"Since we all know what we're going to discuss here, why not put aside the facade of testing one another, and went straight to your demand?" Zhang Qin Feng's polite speech changed instantly and brought them the real deal boss of Azure Wind Base.
"Our boss... Haih..." Dan Bao signed and rubbed his forehead for being able to guess what Zhang Qin Feng will do in the meeting. Right now, he started to feel that not advising him is somewhat better than keep reminding him.
"Let's get to the point," Zhang Qin Feng left his spot unattended and made a few steps to the middle of this room.
"I believe that everyone is here due to a few reasons. Amongst the ten or hundred reasons, one of them should be because the terms stated by the Changyang Western Alliance is too much for you to accept!" Zhang Qin Feng's next sentence hurts everyone inside this room!
Who doesn't know about the western alliance's meeting three days ago? And even a fool can guess that those remained here are what's left after the west finished picking those that can help them.
The others might keep words like this contained inside their mind, but it was different for Zhang Qin Feng. He's not a survivor, to begin with, and he's not someone bound by the survival law in this apocalypse.
Furthermore, right inside of his base, who dares to question the word that came out from his mouth? Even if they're here on behalf of Xichen, they'll keep their mouth shut until they left the base defense!
"Of course, some of you here are questioning my ability. But let me ask you this question." Zhang Qin Feng moved his finger from left to right as he keeps his question hanging inside his mouth.
"Are all of you here in the east are that pitiful?" Zhang Qin Feng is literally waving his blades before them using his tongue.
"Qing-Feng boss, you better take your word back. That question itself will make you unable to leave your base for life." one of the base leaders advised him to control himself. Having a sharp tongue is not that useful here in the apocalypse.
"So? I am not one of the pitiful leaders in the east. If 10 APVs can't defeat the Titans, I'll make a hundred. If a thousand loaded metal case can turn them into a pile of minced meat, then I'll make a million out to do that!"
"What am I worry about speaking out what I think if the east has nobody confident about themselves?" Zhang Qin Feng continued. He wanted to make them personally states what they're thinking, instead of him offering.
"There are no cowards in Wanshui Group." the Wanshui Group leader gets up on his feet.
"If there's a coward in the Yang Militarized Group, I'll make sure to feed him to the dogs. No people with the surname Yang is a coward!" Yang Leader also did the same.
"Our Shadow Wolves also not that weak to lose on a few Titans!"
"Titanfall? It's more like a free fall!"
"Cmon! If a fight is what the mutants want, we give them war!"
"Everyone!" Zhang Qin Feng stopped them from keep getting fired up. Being able to see all of them stands and ready to fight is a great result.
They're looking at Zhang Qin Feng patiently...
Zhang Qin Feng looked like he's catching up with his breath after shouting out for their attention.
"WAR!!!" his next word is as fired up as they are.
"WAR!"
"WAR!"
"GIVE THEM WAR!"
