"Young master, we have arrived."
Xie Han's gentle voice sounded in Qin Jun's ear as he slowly awoke from sleep.
He removed his blindfold and through the airplane window, faintly saw a vast metropolis gradually emerging before him.
Dongdu City, a super first-tier city.
Its economic and industrial strengths were formidable, ranking it among the world's top metropolises.
At the same time, this was also the Qin Family's home base...
.........
The plane flew over Dongdu's sprawling urban area and slowly descended toward the airport.
Dongdu had also suffered heavy impact from this calamity.
From the sky, it was clear that several districts of Dongdu were ruins, smoke rolling heavily.
Apparently, signs of heavy artillery bombardment...
Finally, the plane gently landed at Dongdu International Airport.
The entire airport was sealed off, with the military establishing a heavily guarded defense line.
When Qin Jun stepped onto Dongdu, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Dongdu was his home.
The airport's passage was lined with black cars, all bulletproof, even stronger than military vehicles!
But such special cars were not for just anyone.
To ride in one, one's status must be at least that of a ministerial level.
An elderly man with white hair, meticulously groomed and dressed formally, smiled as he watched Qin Jun.
"Welcome home, young master."
His voice was steady as he came forward to greet him.
"Uncle Qiu."
Facing this elder, Qin Jun's face lost its previous coldness and pretense, showing a genuine smile.
Uncle Qiu was the Qin Family's butler, having served for forty years, considered family by the Qin household.
Uncle Qiu nodded to Xie Han: "Xie Han, well done."
Xie Han bowed respectfully; to Qin Family subordinates like her, Uncle Qiu had great prestige.
Su Ya watched this scene, her eyes flickering strangely.
Only now did she realize the true meaning behind the name Qin Family.
The scenarios in novels and movies were real — great families truly had such displays!
This was exactly the treatment she had dreamed of!
"Young master, the situation is still unstable. Please go home first."
Uncle Qiu opened the car door for Qin Jun, speaking calmly.
To him, the apocalypse seemed merely an unstable situation...
Though only a butler, Uncle Qiu's calm and elegance outshone many so-called elites.
Qin Jun nodded and entered the car amid the entourage.
The convoy slowly started, with military vehicles clearing the way, departing the airport toward the city center.
Through the window, Qin Jun saw that Dongdu's situation was still calm.
Only the streets' intersections were militarized, with machine guns and sandbags, and few pedestrians.
"Young master, Dongdu has also had zombie outbreaks in recent days, but not as large-scale as Jiangjing.
Three districts had infections; the master immediately ordered these districts sealed off with no entry or exit.
Yesterday, the situation escalated, and infected numbers surged in these districts.
The master decisively ordered the military to indiscriminately bomb the three districts.
Though some infected slipped through and zombies appeared even in the safe zone, most have been eliminated."
Before Qin Jun could ask, Uncle Qiu had already explained the situation.
Indiscriminate bombing of three districts!
Su Ya's face slightly changed; she looked at Qin Jun.
So this was a Qin Family person...
Qin Jun had ordered Jiangbei Bridge's destruction in Jiangjing...
This was no longer decisiveness but ruthlessness.
That Qin Committee Chairman seemed just like Qin Jun — utterly indifferent to civilian lives.
As long as the situation was controlled, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of civilians didn't matter...
Su Ya whispered, "Did Dongdu's officials not oppose this?"
At this, Qin Jun, Uncle Qiu, and Xie Han all smiled mysteriously.
Uncle Qiu smiled gently at Su Ya and raised his head with some pride.
"Beautiful lady, you might not understand a fact.
This city's name is Qin."
..........
Su Ya was indeed ambitious, cunning, and ruthless.
But due to her humble origins, like many commoners, she underestimated the situation.
Many believed Dongdu City, an international metropolis, could never be "Qin."
Dongdu's governors changed every ten years, appointed directly by the capital's presidential office.
None had ever been from the Qin Family.
Most department heads — police chiefs, finance directors, etc. — were normal promotions, mostly transferred from elsewhere.
But few noticed the executive vice governor, city secretary-general, deputy police commissioner, and actual department heads in finance and state assets were all named Qin.
For decades, it never changed.
The Qin Family controlled Dongdu from all angles.
Moreover, all the large shopping malls in Dongdu were built and operated by Qin Group, many local companies were Qin Group controlled.
Factories, logistics, and many industries bore Qin Family's imprint.
In Dongdu, any money spent in any scenario eventually returned to the Qin Family's pocket by various means...
Actually, the Qin Family wielded such power and influence nationwide, especially in the Huaihai provinces.
Dongdu was their home base and stronghold!
Millions of Dongdu's citizens were Qin Family employees, unknowingly spending their lives creating wealth for Qin Family.
