Strongest Soldier King

Luo Zheng immediately grasped the situation. Watching the surveillance footage on the electronic screen—the overturned oil tanker, the innocent vehicles, the dead officers, and the chaotic scene—Luo Zheng was so enraged his lungs were about to burst. As a passionate soldier, the enemy's actions were undoubtedly an extreme provocation, a challenge to the country, to the military, and it was a disgrace. The police sacrificed their lives for the country, died where they ought to, but what about the innocent citizens? How many families face ruin now? Thinking of this, Luo Zheng clenched his jaw in hatred, suppressing his fury he asked, "What is the situation with those brutes now?"

Lan Xing tapped on the keyboard a few times, and with a serious expression, said, "The Armed Police and the military have both been deployed; they are conducting a dragnet search. The opponents abandoned their vehicle and fled into the mountains. No progress for now."

"It seems they have experts among them. Keep tracking the situation at all times. Inform me of any updates. I'm going to meet Li Chengfeng—these insane brutes are too arrogant, it seems we've been too soft-hearted," Luo Zheng said coldly, striding towards the room where Li Chengfeng was detained.

Pushing open the door, Luo Zheng saw a pale-faced Li Chengfeng and rushed forward like an arrow, slapping him straight across the face, leaving five distinct finger marks, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Luo Zheng stared coldly at the confused Li Chengfeng and roared, "You are not humans; you are beasts. Even beasts know not to harm the innocent. You're less than beasts. The time has come—tell me the answer while I can still control my rationality, or else I don't know what decision I'll make next. Your life is already worthless, but for the sake of humanity, I'm giving your family a chance to live. Whether you'll seize it is up to you."

Li Chengfeng was stunned, immediately realizing something significant had happened and that he was involved. He looked in panic at the about-to-explode Luo Zheng and asked, "What happened?"

"What happened? Fine, I'll tell you," Luo Zheng shouted coldly, like a thoroughly enraged lion. He grabbed Li Chengfeng by the collar, his entire body exuding a murderous aura as if the air around had solidified, and bellowed, "Your companions attempted to escape across the border; they blew up an oil tanker and police officers with grenades. Since you've turned my country into a battlefield, I no longer need to show you mercy."

"What?" Li Chengfeng was shocked, realizing he was implicated. A furious Huaxia Country was not to be trifled with; his life might as well be forfeit, but surely a retaliating Huaxia Country would endanger his family's lives. In his panic, he hurriedly said, "I'm willing to cooperate with you, but you must ensure my family's safety, or I would rather die."

"You are not in a position to bargain with me. If that's your answer, I can tell you right now, we have no obligation to protect your family. If you want to protect them, it's all up to you. You're a smart person; you should know how to choose," Luo Zheng said coldly.

"What?" Li Chengfeng hesitated. Offending Huaxia Country again would be disastrous, but if the organization found out he betrayed them, the result would be equally bleak. In this critical moment, seeing Luo Zheng impatiently walking out, giving no more chances, he hurriedly shouted, "You can't do this. They are innocent; come at me if you have the guts."

"Innocent? You talk to me about innocence? Are our people not innocent?" Luo Zheng halted, his face full of murderous intent, and roared, "Since you've made your choice, bear the consequences." With that, he strode out.

"Hold on," Li Chengfeng hurriedly said.

"What? Is there anything else?" Luo Zheng impatiently shouted, "You can refuse to cooperate, but aside from you, there are several other captives. I believe they will cooperate. Even if none of you cooperate, it doesn't matter. Scum like you all deserve to die, and so do your families. There is no leeway in this; the wrath of Huaxia Country is beyond what you can endure."

"I'm willing to cooperate with you, but you must not harm my family," Li Chengfeng hurriedly shouted.

Seeing that his threat had achieved its purpose, Luo Zheng didn't compromise immediately, but instead coldly observed the other and said, "That depends on the usefulness of the information you provide. Tell me something I find interesting."

"I don't know much." With the safety of his family under threat, Li Chengfeng dared not gamble that the enraged Luo Zheng was merely bluffing. He made a final decision and sighed helplessly, continuing, "I'm a member of a Strategic Intelligence Bureau action team. The team leader was killed at Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, and the female team member was also among them. Of the three-person team, only I am left."

"That's not what I'm interested in. Get to the point," Luo Zheng said impatiently.

"Our team was ordered to execute a mission, a mission set by headquarters. Our team was just the executors. The mission had three steps: the first was to acquire research data. After failing to bribe or steal it, we carried out the second step, which was a designed ambush to seize it. After success, we left but were chased by you, and the data was destroyed. We had no choice but to carry out the third step—to assassinate the advanced aerospace engineer and then hide, but we didn't expect you to track us to Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, and get us all captured," Li Chengfeng hurriedly said.

"What's the relationship between you, Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, and the Reincarnation Organization?" Luo Zheng coldly pursued.

"A cooperative relationship. Sam Country and Japan have always been closely related and cooperate closely in all fields. Moreover, you destroyed their Death God Killer Organization, so they want revenge on you. As for Reincarnation, it's the same logic. Our captain found the remnants of the Reincarnation Killer Organization, and they agreed to cooperate quickly," Li Chengfeng hurriedly explained.

"Does that mean the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group is also part of the alliance?" Luo Zheng continued to ask.

"Yes, Sam Country, Japan, Reincarnation, and Wild Wolf all reached a cooperative alliance. Sanhe Martial Arts Hall and the Death God Killer Organization are forces sent by Japan. The forces have formed the Demon Extermination Alliance, led by Sam Country, to conduct a series of retaliatory actions against you. This is just the beginning; there's much more to follow, though I don't know the details. All Demon Extermination plans are determined by headquarters, and the action team executes them specifically until you're killed," Li Chengfeng explained awkwardly.

"It seems I've become a synonym for the devil in your eyes. To make the enemy fear, dread, and even seriously consider you is an honor. Where are the other members of your alliance?" Luo Zheng didn't expect such a thing and angrily asked.

"From what I know, most were hiding in the hall and were captured by you. Some were not in the hall at the time, and when they realized things were going badly, they naturally fled abroad. I'm not clear on where they fled to or how many there are," Li Chengfeng said helplessly.
