Chapter 222: Borrowing strength
Uncle Hai knocked the white-colored Smoke pipe on the ground.
Beside him, the colorful-haired Young Master Yun rolled his eyes. He looked down on this village uncle. To him, didn’t such people live in forests forty years ago?
“Kid, stop looking like you lost your father and mother; you look down on me? Let me tell you, if you were my grandson, I would cut off all your dyed hair.”
Uncle Hai scoffed. Seeing the leader of Hungry Tiger Cavalry, he said so without holding back.
“Damn, old man, what did you say?”
“Show some respect when you talk to our boss!”
“Old damn thing, I will kill you!”
Young Master Yun had a bunch of men similar in age to him. They were dressed in different clothing. A month had passed, and their clothing was dirty, making them look even more amusing.
Behind Uncle Hai were the warriors that came from East Mountain Village. Hearing those kids speak like that, they were furious, and both sides were in a standoff immediately.
Hungry Tiger Cavalry had 70-80 people, including their entire squad. All of them were apocalypse warriors. Some had guns; some had axes. Each one rode a motorcycle, and they were pretty strong.
Moreover, Young Master Yun and a few other bosses had jobs that were said to be strong. They clashed with the Tech City Squad before and nearly killed the two-star evolved Big Kai.
Hungry Tiger Cavalry became famous, and everyone learned that this young team made of 40 one-stars evolved. Moreover, no one dared to look down on them anymore.
East Mountain Village’s strength was definitely above that of them. They had three two-star evolved and a dozen more one-star evolved than them. But only two of them had jobs.
Both sides had strengths and weaknesses, so neither feared the other.
When both sides were in a faceoff, horse hooves could be heard. They turned their heads and saw a 200-strong team rushing over. There were 20 healthy horses, and each one of the people riding had a red spear. One would think they were ancient cavaliers if not for their modern clothing.
“Old Lou!”
Uncle Hai waved at those people and told his people to put their weapons down.
Young Master Yun knew they couldn’t fight now as considerable riches were before them, waiting for them to steal.
The 50-year-old guy on the horse in the middle jumped off. He looked determined. He looked at them and finally nodded at Uncle Hai with a smile.
Young Master Yun looked at the family head that occupied the heart of the lake and greeted him lazily. But when he saw a red shirt young girl behind, he smiled. He moved over and tried hard to get close to her.
“Sister Ling, long time no see. When will you come over to play? I got many new things.”
She was really beautiful, but her features made her seem like her temper was terrible. She scoffed, “Go over to smell cement?”
The Lou Family warriors behind laughed, making Young Master Yun awkward.
Not mentioning their strengths, just the place they occupied. Hungry Tiger Cavalries occupied the cement factory, and Lou Family had the picturesque lake island; the difference was huge.
“Let us talk about serious matters.” Lou Family Head Lou Zhengxiao looked annoyed at him and told him not to disturb his niece.
“Let me introduce myself; this is Bei Zi from Soul Merchant.”
Lou Zhengxiao moved aside to review a guy wearing a hoodie, and half his face was shrouded in the shadows.
White hoodie, black pants, and hands in his pockets. He carried a green bag. He wasn’t tall, around 1.65. Half the face was covered, and one couldn’t tell if it was male or female.
Uncle Hai and Young Master Yun looked at one another and Lou Zhengxiao with unhappiness. Their sudden appearance was out of the plan that they had discussed.
“This Bei Zi is just observing.” Lou Zhengxiao explained, “He won’t do anything and won’t share the spoils.”
Since he said that, their expression was much better. But they were still unfriendly to this Bei Zi, who was standing there quietly.
Soul Merchant was just too mysterious. In the apocalypse, it was hard for one to feel good about them.
“Of course, if we faced any dangers and asked Mr. Bei Zi to help, that would be another story.”
Uncle Hai smiled and tilted his head. Young Master Yun pouted in disdain and started to chew some gum.
Lou Zhengxiao was not surprised by their attitude. He pointed at the small military base, “Let’s stick to the plan?”
Uncle Hai and Young Master Yun started focusing and knew it was time.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Right when the three factions were launching their attack, the small military base, five kilometers from them, was a bunch of people lying in ambush in a small farmhouse.
“Boss, they have begun.”
Little Tiger placed the walkie-talkie down and informed Ye Zhongming, who was resting on the side.
The others sitting on the roof stood up. Since the other side started, they were going to start too.
Ye Zhongming looked at them and pointed at a warehouse, “This is our target, Yingchun County Grain Storage.”
“People didn’t target this place because it is at the edge of the county. Many zombies and mutated lifeforms are gathered here, and there are two level-three monsters. They are very strong. If we fight, we might draw the monsters over.”
“Everyone knows the plan. If we succeed, our grain problem will be solved. At least for a year, we won’t have to worry about food, so we can only succeed.”
“I know it is the first time for many of you to fight from a disadvantaged position, the first time facing a zombie horde, but don’t be afraid. We walked this path before! This time we will win as usual.”
Some weird sounds spread from the other side of the storage, and Ye Zhongming clapped, “Mo Ye and Sister Rong started. Follow me to charge in and clear the zombies. Those who do well will get evolution potions after the battle! I never go back on my words! Head out!”
The close to hundred-strong team surged out from the small courtyard!
