The man with the slicked-back hair was shaking with anger. He pointed at the police officers present and said breathlessly,

"You're rebelling! You're really rebelling! How dare you disobey the county's orders? Whose side are you on?"

Dabao couldn't stand this farce any longer. He stepped forward and said,

"They are the people's police, and naturally they stand on the side of justice. Don't make things difficult for them. To be honest, even if all the police were here today and followed your orders, they wouldn't be able to take us away.

I originally hoped that you could cooperate with me a little bit, and I would speak well of you when I report to the higher-ups. Now I see clearly that these leaders in your county are trying to shirk responsibility, cover up the truth, and deceive their superiors and subordinates.

You don't even care about the deaths of hundreds of people. Where are your moral integrity and principles? Where is your conscience and justice?

Dabao's words struck the hearts of the leaders like morning bells and evening drums. Several of them lowered their heads in shame. A man with gray hair stood up, trembling with excitement.

"Comrade, you're right. We can't ignore our conscience just to keep our jobs. We can't sweep things under the rug. We must actively address them. As for responsibility, no matter how great it is, it can't compare to the lives of ordinary people. Comrade, what do you need us to do? Just speak!"

Dabao then smiled and nodded.

"May I ask you are?"

"I am the deputy head of Yu County. My name is Duan Qingwen, and I am in charge of culture, education, and health."

"Hello, Deputy County Chief Duan. From now on, you will be acting as the county official. Comrade Wei Baguang will be acting as the director of the County Public Security Bureau. I just happen to have some work that requires your cooperation!"

The guy with the slicked-back hair was stunned. He pointed at Dabao and asked,

"You're just the director of a branch office in a department. What right do you have to interfere in the personnel affairs of our county? I'm solemnly telling you one last time that your behavior has crossed the line. If you stop now, I might consider reporting you to my father. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

Dabao sneered,

"Complain to your father? Just him? His position can't scare me!"

At this moment, the roar of cars was heard, and everyone looked towards the village entrance. They saw military trucks driving in one after another, and the trucks were full of soldiers.

The soldiers were all fully armed. Starting with the first truck stopping, the trucks behind it stopped one by one. Zhou Weixin and Mo Ming jumped out of the cab of the first truck.

They shouted,

"Gather now!"

Following the command, the soldiers began to gather in teams on the threshing ground in the middle of the village. In just seven minutes, they had formed a line. Zhou Weixin and Mo Ming stood in the front and shouted a count.

The soldiers' voices rose and fell, 1, 2, 3, 4... and soon the counting was finished.

Zhou Weixin stood at attention, turned around, raised his fists to his waist, and ran to Dabao to stand at attention and salute.

"Reporting to the commander, the 831st Regiment has 1351 members, and 1349 have actually arrived. Two of them are going to the military district for a meeting. Report completed, commander, please give the order!"

Everyone in the county was stunned, including Wei Baguang. They had all seen Zhou Weixin and knew that he was the highest-ranking officer stationed in Yu County. But now they were addressing the young man as "chief".

Who was this Qin Dabao? The man with the slicked-back hair began to tremble all over. He felt that the current situation was beyond his control. Wang Mingjie did not dare to say a word. In the face of absolute power, all the slander and tricks were just a joke.

Dabao nodded.

"Captain Zhou, has the military's protective equipment arrived?"

"Report to the commander, all 800 sets have arrived,"

"Okay! Give 100 units to the county, Secretary Duan? Secretary Duan?"

Wei Baguang pushed Duan Qingwen, and Duan Qingwen realized that he was being called. He was surprised and delighted. This leader from the department seemed to have great power. One word from such a person was worth ten thousand words from him.

From this point of view, his position as a county official is already stable. Duan Qingwen is a very upright person with strong working ability. However, no one does not want to be promoted and make money, but the degree is different.

When he thought about how he had impulsively stepped forward and a huge pie fell on his head, he was not only dazed, but Wei Baguang pushed him again, and he finally came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted,

"I'm here, I'm here!"

Dabao understood his current state of mind clearly and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, Secretary Duan, my appointment is a done deal. From now on, the entire Yu County will be under your full responsibility."

"Yes! Commander, please give the order!"

Duan Qingwen changed Dabao's address to "chief" instead of "comrade". Dabao didn't care.

"It has been basically confirmed that the massacre of the three villages was a conspiracy led by the Japanese. The virus they carried was a plague in layman's terms. They killed all the villagers in the three villages.

Now I order Duan Qingwen and Wei Baguang to gather all the medical staff in the county hospital and put them on standby, and apply to the city and province for antiviral drugs.

Gather the public security militia and cooperate with the army to set up checkpoints at all intersections. If you find anyone carrying the virus, immediately detain them..."

Now Dabao is not sure if there are any zombies that have escaped from the encirclement? Or maybe the Japanese have taken another group of virus-carrying personnel to another place.

After all, it has been several days. What we can do now is to be vigilant and prevent it from happening.

"Yes!"

"Captain Zhou, set up barbed wire around the mountainside. Tell the soldiers that these virus carriers are fast-moving and extremely dangerous. Their weak spot is in their heads. If discovered, do not attempt to capture them. Concentrate your firepower to eliminate them completely. Once eliminated, immediately set fire to them and bury the ashes in deep pits."

Zhou Weixin's face changed slightly. He didn't expect this virus to be so powerful. He couldn't help but curse with gritted teeth.

"Damn the Japs! Such despicable humans deserve to be exterminated!"

Dabao said with a smile,

"We both have the same wish! I hope it can be achieved one day!"

The order was issued, and the troops began to distribute the equipment in an orderly manner.

Dabao walked up to Duan Qingwen and whispered,

"Report this matter truthfully to the city government. Also, select a few people from this group to assist you in your work. The rest will be dealt with by higher-ups!"

Duan Qingwen's heart moved, and he felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude. This was the chief training his team. Anyone he asked to leave at least kept their current position, and Duan Qingwen would obey him from now on. He glanced at Wei Baguang. It was this Deputy Director Wei who invited the chiefs here. It seemed that I would have to spend more time with him in the future. We could not be superiors or subordinates, but just friends...
