Chapter 109: X’s Leadership That Cannot Tolerate Failure

"Yes," Chen Yi said with another smile.

He knew that because the one he loved was by his side, he could be so content at a time like this.

No matter when it was, as long as his beloved was there, Chen Yi would charge ahead without hesitation.

At that moment, the X Organization had been watching Chen Yi and the others through their monitors.

Whether it was in the face of the zombies' sudden appearance or in dealing with the people who had shown up out of nowhere, Chen Yi's performance was impeccable. Seeing that they could not make him take the bait, those people were seething with hatred.

Damn Chen Yi. How could he still perform so well at a time like this?

One of the senior figures slammed the teacup in front of him to the floor, the fury in his eyes growing even more intense.

"I told you long ago that this man would not be easy to deal with."

The woman who had taken care of Zheng Xiaoda had returned to the X Organization's warship and let out a sneer.

"For this operation, I originally thought it would be a simple matter. Unfortunately, I overestimated myself. Chen Yi does not care at all. He even arranged things long ago so that everyone would ignore me. In this situation, how am I supposed to deal with him?"

Several of the higher-ups exchanged looks.

"So you're really that confident in him? Unbelievable. We spent so much effort, and still we couldn't make him trust you."

"Even if you hand every skill over to me, it still won't work against Chen Yi."

The woman's gaze turned cold, and worry began to cloud her face.

She was considered a figure of some standing within the organization, but when she stood in front of Chen Yi, she was nothing more than trash, something that could be discarded at any moment. Even now, she could not forget the look in Chen Yi's eyes, a hatred and vigilance that seemed to rise from the very bones.

Not everyone could understand that.

Thinking of this, the woman drew in a sharp breath.

"It seems this matter needs further discussion."

However, the others were deeply dissatisfied with her words.

"You think saying that will make us accept your excuse? You failed and now you want to make up reasons."

"What excuse am I making?" the woman snapped, her anger rising. She clenched her fists. She had done so much for the organization, only to be spoken to like this in the end. It was truly disgraceful.

Taking a deep breath, the woman finally changed her stance.

"I'll say this again: those who use this method to smear my character had better watch their lives."

The men glanced at one another before bursting into laughter.

"You think you can get out? Forget everything else, the zombies outside alone are already enough to deal with. You'd really give up all the glory and status you have in the X Organization just to run out there?"

Those words left the woman instantly speechless. Indeed, she was unwilling and afraid to rush out. With so much danger all around, if she really fled, she would undoubtedly die.

And that was not all. Zheng Xiaoda's death might also cause Chen Yi and the others to bear a grudge against her. No matter how she looked at it, she was the one left in an impossible position.

After repeated consideration, the woman ultimately chose to yield.

"Forget it. I can't be bothered arguing with you."

"Now that's more like it."

The men chuckled.

"Allowing you to take a place here is to prevent a day when we have no women left to carry on the family line, not because you have any great power. Remember how lowly your position really is."

After the meeting ended, the woman's eyes turned exceptionally cold.

Very well. They treated her like a tool that could be discarded at any time. But who would willingly let a mere tool like her bear their children? They truly thought too highly of themselves. Once she found their weaknesses, she would be sure to turn the tables and strike them down.

Thinking this, the woman grew smug and immediately rushed back to search for evidence.

On Chen Yi's side, they had already begun carving the wood and coating it with all kinds of toxins. This was enough to reduce the effectiveness of the bullets and missiles they currently had in hand. After all, they still did not know how strong the enemies and monsters that would come later might be. Under these circumstances, it was only prudent to protect themselves first.

"Boss, things may be getting complicated!"

The zombie monkey hurried back to report to Chen Yi.

"That woman killed Zheng Xiaoda earlier, then had his corpse sent to their research team for dissection. For now, their success rate in breaking through our defenses has risen significantly."

Those words made everyone's hearts sink at once. They already knew of Zheng Xiaoda's death, after all, that woman had erupted in a fury on the spot.

Now that Zheng Xiaoda's body had been taken for study, it meant that something from Zheng Xiaoda's side might have been leaked. Chen Yi's brows knitted tightly.

"How long has this been going on?"

After calculating the timing, the zombie monkey reported that they had received the news three hours earlier. In other words, even if they chased after it now, there was likely no hope left.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi shook his head.

"At this point, even if we rush in and fight them to the death, it will be pointless."

Then Chen Yi made a decisive call.

"Listen to me. We will keep preparing those tools and get ready to deal with the zombies. As for this organization's affairs, the river will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge. There's no need to rush into handling it right now."

"Ah, is that really okay?" Chen Yaxi froze. "I feel like there may be something fishy about this. We're not going to keep investigating it?"

"What is there to investigate?" Chen Yi waved a hand again.

"In the end, all we would uncover is that we underestimated her. Rather than wasting time on that, it would be better to do what needs to be done right now. Don't forget that our weapons do not actually hold the advantage. You must root out how much strength those people have hidden elsewhere, or else..."

He did not finish the sentence, but everyone already understood what he meant. Indeed, if they let this matter slide, it would be bad for everyone.

So they all nodded at once.

"All right, we'll listen to you. We'll do things your way from here on. But remember this too: no matter what you do, you have to take good care of yourself. We are a team."

Chen Yi, touched by their support, smiled faintly.

"Don't worry. For Yun Xi and Yaxi, I will keep fighting to live."

Watching Chen Yi leave, Yun Xi clenched her fists, but she quickly calmed herself. At a time like this, she could not let her man lose face, so she remained composed and steady.

"Since everything has been investigated, all zombie monkeys are to stand by where they are. If any enemies appear, kill them cleanly and decisively. No mercy."

"Yes!"

With the zombie monkeys joining them, Chen Yi and the others were no longer without a chance at victory.
