Hearing the voice, Fugaku looked up. The young man who had crushed most of the elites of the entire security team was standing in front of him, with undisguised contempt in his bright black eyes.

This hurt Fugaku's heart even more.

But he did not attack because he knew it would be useless.

Before he could make a move, the young man would shoot an arrow from behind and kill him first.

"You are willing to be someone's dog, even if you are suspected and used as a sword..." Ryuji looked at him calmly, "The Uchiha clan has given up the pride of being strong, and can only bully some ordinary ninjas. When facing the real strong, you are just like those ordinary ninjas you bully, without any ability to fight back."

After saying that, he ignored Fugaku and walked past him.

The rest of the Sand Village ninjas, led by Gin, Kuro, Red, and Marie, followed closely behind.

Everyone passed by him, but no one looked at him.

The pain of his companions' death, the frustration of failure, the gap in his heart, the shattered pride... Uchiha Fugaku looked around, and the corpses of his companions made countless negative emotions intertwine more deeply in his heart.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!”

Fugaku finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore and couldn't help but roar.

In the blood-red eyes, three magatama spun wildly and finally turned into connected figures, and tears of blood flowed from the corners of the eyes.

……

In the Hokage's office.

A group of senior executives sat around the crystal ball, their faces solemn.

There are three crystal balls, each showing three images.

One is in the hospital, where a group of Anbu are confronting fifty elite puppeteers sent by Sunagakure to study abroad.

One is a girl standing in the commercial street of Konoha, surrounded by yellow sand, destroying everything around her. Outside, a group of Root ninjas are helpless.

Finally the crystal ball cracked.

However, before the crack, they had already seen the scene where the entire guard team except Fugaku was wiped out.

"Whoo~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, his face full of worry, "The situation is completely out of control."

"This Xuanqi Longji is crazy!"

Xiaochun said in disbelief.

They didn't really want to do anything to the Sand Village delegation, they just wanted to make some trouble with it - such as detaining them, and then negotiating with the Sand Village to make them spit out all the benefits they had previously swallowed from Konoha.

Given the disparity in power between the two sides, the senior executives who formulated this plan did not think that Ryuji would resist.

Because it's so stupid.

In Konoha's territory, there were only a hundred-odd-man military force, including more than twenty Genin who were just dragging their feet. It was impossible to win by force.

The best option is to give up resistance and cooperate with Konoha's investigation.

With the wisdom and insight shown by Ryuji, it is impossible that he was unaware of their political behavior.

But the reality slapped them in the face.

Not only did Ryuji resist, but he was ruthless in his attack.

Two-thirds of the entire Konoha Guard, except Uchiha Fugaku, died there.

And Uchiha Fugaku is probably doomed.

“How do we respond now?”

Chapter 45: Ghost Brothers

"We are from the XX Corps of the XX Military Region. We are currently clearing out the zombies. Survivors please stay indoors and wait for rescue. Do not go out for the time being. I repeat, we are..."

In countless shelters on campus, survivors hugged each other and cried, extremely excited.

They thought their life of suffering would never end, but finally there was light at the end of the tunnel. They were saved! They were saved!

There are a lot of survivors in the computer building. Several groups have come in these days. Ruihe didn't count them specifically, but he knew there were at least 300 people in it. 300 people living in the same building, conflicts are as numerous as lice. If there was no iron gate, the flames of conflict would have burned to the ninth floor. Every time a survivor ran over or went out and came back, Ruihe would pay attention to whether there were any injured people among them, for fear that improper handling would cause all the survivors downstairs to become zombies. The consequences are terrifying.

Now everyone on the first floor gathered on the first floor, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

At around 2:00 p.m., the army finally cleared the computer building, and everyone was delighted.

"Comrades, please stay here for the time being. We will set up camp inside the school and then search the surrounding area for survivors."

"Is there anything to eat? We are so hungry!"

The young soldier shook his head: "We have rescued many survivors along the way. We are running out of food. We need to collect supplies nearby. If you are in urgent need of food, you can follow us to find food nearby. It will be much safer."

"Ah! How can you do this? You should give us food!"

"That's right. I've been waiting for you to come to my rescue for so long, and you don't even provide me with food?"

There were many people complaining, and the young soldier felt embarrassed. He scratched his head and followed his companions.

"Let's go." Ruihe carried his schoolbag, and Suya and the others followed him out. "Like the soldier said just now, it's much safer to follow them to find supplies. There are many victims, and there may not be enough food to go around. We may need to be self-reliant in the future, so we should store as much supplies as possible now. If possible, we can find a car to load the supplies."

During this period, Ruihe has been teaching Zhang Meng and the others simple fighting techniques, urging them to train every day to strengthen their bodies and their hands and feet, in order to develop a tacit understanding among partners.

Tong Yao responded immediately: "Brother Lin is right."

Zhang Meng pushed his glasses up: "I want to find some new underwear--"

"whispering sound!"

"Tsk."

Zhang Meng was unmoved: "I just like to be clean, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Ruihe smiled: "Let's go then."

The streets outside were indeed cleaned up, but at the same time, the supplies in the supermarkets were also looted by the army, leaving only some odds and ends. The odds and ends were also valuable, and Ruihe even picked up a piece of candy or a bag of salt scattered in the corner and kept them.

He originally wanted to find a car, but the road conditions were very bad and driving was much more troublesome than taking a military truck, so he gave up temporarily.

As expected, the army camped in the school just like in the previous life, but Ruihe knew that the army would leave the next day and continued to rescue the survivors of Huacheng. When night fell, Ruihe and his friends did not return to the computer building, but settled in the classroom closest to the gate, so that they could leave with the army tomorrow.

"I have inquired, they will not return to the military area

"Should we follow the army?" Zhang Mingen asked. "Go with them to search for survivors?"

Ruihe nodded: "Let me tell you my plan first. I do plan to follow the army. No matter how far or how long we go, they will definitely return to the base."

Zhang Mingen was very disgusted when he heard it: "How dangerous!"

"It's safer to have soldiers protecting me than to go to the military base alone. They can't spare any personnel to send the survivors back first." In fact, the original body followed the army on the road for ten days, and only returned to the base when the number of supplies and survivors was beyond the capacity. Those ten days were deeply impressed in the original body's memory. At that time, the original body had already awakened the supernatural power, so he was recruited by the army and received very good treatment. Of course, he was also recruited by the army to help rescue the survivors.

The busy life for half a month allowed the original body's superpowers to be trained unconsciously. When the research conclusions on superpower upgrades came out later, everyone knew that after zombies were killed, they would emit a kind of energy. That energy was the same as the holy flower and could enhance the abilities of superpower users. Only superpower users could absorb it.

After the conclusion of this research came out, the psychics began to experiment on "how to absorb that energy", and gradually learned to actively absorb that energy.

If you absorb passively, you can only absorb one tenth or one twelfth by chance. Only if you absorb actively can you master it all.

Ruihe does not have any special abilities now, and is currently focusing on honing his skills. This body needs training and actual combat training.

The next morning, the army broke camp, and Ruihe got on a military truck and followed the army forward. Everything along the road was deserted, and the streets were filled with zombies and various human abandoned items, including cars, bicycles, umbrellas, bags and even shoes. Everywhere was filled with the smell of humans fleeing in panic at the moment of the end of the world. The doors of the shops along the street were either open or closed, and blood-stained broken glass was the most common thing. The wheels made a creaking sound when they rolled over.

"There are people waving there, three people!"

"There are some there too. There are so many survivors here. I hope my parents are still alive, but my home is in the old city and the house is not solid..."

"Don't think too much. If we can be saved, our parents can be saved too."

The army was not marching very fast, and there were survivors joining them constantly. The search and rescue teams came and went, bringing back batches of survivors. Ruihe did not stay on the truck all the time, he would frequently jump off to help kill zombies. It was obvious that this army was more frugal in the use of ammunition, and did not use hot weapons to clear the way all the way. The artillery and gunshots heard in the early morning yesterday were said to be the zombies that were lured into a circle at a cultural square in front and annihilated.

On this day, Ruihe was sitting at the gate of the community repairing his weapon when a familiar-looking soldier sat down next to him and handed him something: "Your kitchen knife is bent. Here, this weapon is for you. It's a perfect combination of a bone-chopping knife and a steel pipe. Use it!"

"Thank you." Ruihe took it, weighed it in his hand, then waved it a few times, and put it away with great satisfaction.

"You don't look like an ordinary college student, but more like a soldier." The young soldier asked, "You really have never been in the army?"

"No." Ruihe smiled.

"You don't look like a soldier. You look like a rich second-generation who wears a low-necked shirt and holds a glass of wine while dancing to the music in a bar."

The soldier laughed: "You figured it out. I've only been in the army for a month. Before joining, I was indeed hanging out in the bar every day. There was nothing I could do. My father found me an eyesore and said that the serious atmosphere of the army would help to change my character. It's a pity that I'm not serious even in uniform. He would be mad to death if he saw it." Laughing, the soldier stood up, patted his butt, and went back to his team with his hands in his pockets.

Ruihe looked at the weapon in his hand. This should be the new weapon that the other party had just received.

"This knife is so cool. He gave it to you right away?" Zhang Meng ran over and touched the bone-chopping knife curiously. "It would be great if this was a gun. Bang, bang, bang. It would be so cool."

"You wish. It's understandable if he gives me a knife, but if he gives me a gun, his squad leader will beat him to death."

"He's beating him now." Zhang Meng laughed secretly. Ruihe looked over and saw that the young soldier was jumping up and down on the spot after being slapped by the squad leader.

"They are such good people. My parents... there should be such a good army there to rescue them, right?"

"Of course they will. Haishi is also a big city. I remember there are troops stationed there."

At night, the army camped on the spot and chose a community that had not yet been fully developed as a base. There were not many zombies in it, and they were all construction workers. Because they had swept several large supermarkets and their warehouses, the army had sufficient supplies, so everyone was given dinner. Ruihe participated in the search and rescue, so he was given more food, a bottle of water, two loaves of bread, and a vacuum-boiled egg.

"Brother Lin, I may not go with you guys tomorrow." Tong Yao suddenly spoke up. Su Ya put down the bread and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I, don't I have superpowers? The military said they want to recruit me, so I'm going to sit in the car with people with superpowers tomorrow."

"This is a good thing. Why do you look like that?" Ruihe took a sip of water and comforted her, "Go ahead. The treatment in the army is good. We are classmates and companions who have fought side by side. We are partners. You don't need to feel guilty."

Tong Yao smiled and said, "Thank you."

At night, Ruihe slept under a blanket. Zhang Meng lay beside him and whispered, "I also want to have superpowers. Water superpowers are great, so I won't be short of water in the future. Fire is also great, and if it's powerful enough, it can burn zombies... Even if I don't have superpowers, at least make me stronger, or faster... Pei Shu, don't you envy me? Superpowers!"

"I envy you, but I don't have any." Ruihe pulled the quilt down to his chin, then retracted his hand, "Go to sleep quickly, or you'll be hungry again."

The next day, Tong Yao packed up her things and was about to change cars. Ruihe gave her her share of supplies. After the army came to rescue, most of the temporary cooperation team was dispersed. After Tong Yao left, only Zhang Meng, Su Ya, Teacher Song and Zhang Mingen were left in the team.

Ruihe didn't feel sorry about this. Today he planned to try out the new weapon. It would be even better if he could find the holy flower. He now had thirteen holy flowers, which were more precious than bread, milk and other food.

On the seventeenth day of the apocalypse, the army arrived near the original body's home. The original body's parents and younger brother were brought back by the search and rescue team. When Ruihe followed the other search and rescue teams back, he heard someone calling him. Looking back, he saw a middle-aged woman looking at him with tears in her eyes: "Pei Shu! Pei Shu!"

The calls are real and sincere, containing the complex and rich emotions of a mother when she sees her son who she has lost contact with for more than half a month.

Ruihe's eyes also moistened, and he quickly walked over and held the hand that Lin's mother extended eagerly: "Mom."

Mother Lin hugged Ruihe and cried, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!"

Ruihe also hugged her: "Where are dad and brother?"
