Chapter 454 - 403: What Is Our Relationship?
"This shooting skill..."
"Looks familiar!"
Wu Daqiang and Xiaotiao exchanged a glance, the scene of shots hitting their targets seemed eerily familiar, and a chubby figure surfaced in their minds simultaneously. However, amidst the apocalypse, talents abounded, and they couldn’t believe things could be so coincidental.
"To the ten friends remaining, what are you waiting for? Waiting for dawn to see the sunrise? Well, let me introduce you, the sunrise on Celestial Horse Island is especially beautiful!"
Yuwen’s voice sounded, revealing a subtle humor amidst his seriousness.
"If we hand over our weapons, how can we ensure our safety?"
Wu Daqiang shouted towards the outside of the window.
Given the situation had reached this point, the other party had begun to compromise, but that didn’t mean Celestial Horse Island would also compromise. Just as Yuwen was about to speak, he heard the car door behind him open, and Zhang Su stealthily sat in the car.
"Mr. Zhang, we were waiting for you to speak."
Yuwen wisely handed the microphone to Zhang Su, knowing his role was finished. Facing Zhang Su’s peculiar gaze, he acted like he hadn’t seen it.
Zhang Su, with a constipated look on his face, took the microphone connected to the speaker from Yuwen’s hand and directly said, "Besides laying down your weapons, there is no other option for you. If I don’t see all of you sticking out of the windows in ten seconds, then we won’t talk! Ten..."
Gulp...
As soon as Zhang Su spoke, the situation was instantly tightened, directly starting a countdown that no one could withstand.
Everyone on Celestial Horse Island was startled, they raised their weapons while also wary of the other party’s desperate measures.
However, they all overestimated the opponent’s ferocity, when Zhang Su counted down to "six", numerous figures appeared at the windows, mimicking the Apocalypse Corps, raising their hands and sticking out of the windows.
With a chance to survive, nobody wanted to choose to fight to the death, unless it was the last resort.
"Good, you didn’t disappoint me!"
This time Zhang Su didn’t use the loudspeaker, he pushed open the car door and got off, standing in front of the headlights, looking up at the building, able to clearly see everyone’s faces, but his figure appeared only as a black silhouette to the others.
"This voice..."
Feeling humiliated, Wu Daqiang’s body trembled upon hearing these words, and he looked incredulously at his companion beside him, seeing Xiaotiao also had a peculiar expression.
The voice played through the loudspeaker was somewhat distorted, but as soon as Zhang Su spoke, a sense of familiarity surged in both of their hearts.
"Are you King Yama?"
Wu Baokang asked in a solemn voice.
Zhang Su closed his eyes for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That’s right, I am the decisive King Yama. As long as you follow my requirements, there will be no danger!"
"It’s him!"
Wu Daqiang was shocked, after two sentences he confirmed the black silhouette standing in front of the car lights below was the guy who took a large number of weapons from the barracks back then!
"Brother Qiang, the man below certainly is Zhang Su, what do we do?"
Xiaotiao also recognized the voice, whispering to Wu Daqiang without moving his lips.
"Watch how it unfolds!"
Wu Daqiang had a deep impression of Zhang Su, considering him to be a profit-driven, cunning, and powerful individual with leadership qualities. Although they had once cooperated with Zhang Su, the distribution of benefits wasn’t pleasant in the end.
In the apocalypse, everyone’s psychology changes greatly every day, and after so much time has passed, who knows if the other party still remembers the past cooperation. Moreover, the opponent claimed to be "King Yama", definitely not someone easy to deal with!
"Now, help each other tie your hands with something, line up and come down one by one. Leave the gear up there; someone will collect it! Civilization Guardian friends, you don’t need to tie, Big Soldier Wu, come down with your friends and bring the stuff, so I don’t have to come up and collect your gear!"
The Survivor Alliance was about to bargain but was stunned upon hearing Zhang Su’s last sentence!
What the hell is this? At first, they thought Little Eagle Association was the traitor, but turns out it was eliminated, only to find out Civilization Guardian and the opposition were on the same side, not having to tie their hands and able to take their weapons down, this was too absurd!
"Leader, you’ve been set up!"
Wu Baokang was so angry he saw black, who on earth was on his side?
The Apocalypse Corps was momentarily stunned but didn’t hesitate for too long, immediately began finding items to tie each other’s wrists, why think so much, survival comes first!
As for the Civilization Guardian, their expressions were colorful, Wu Daqiang and Xiaotiao spoke in very low voices, making it impossible for the other three companions to know the details, so how did the opposite team know their leader, how strange that it was! Though puzzled, it didn’t stop them from feeling grateful.
"Brother Qiang, the opposite party is your friend?"
Someone asked Wu Daqiang.
Wu Daqiang frowned, "We knew each other before, but whether they are friend or foe now is hard to say!"
"Should we... take the opportunity to eliminate their leader?"
One of them, unafraid of death, suggested.
Wu Daqiang quickly shook his head, "Don’t play tricks, this group is very formidable. Since they act friendly, we shouldn’t push our luck. Chairman Li actually appreciates this bunch!"
After speaking, the Civilization Guardian began packing their belongings.
"Big Soldier Wu? This name sounds so familiar..."
"Oh no... Isn’t Big Soldier Wu the Wu Daqiang from the Wenhua Road Barracks?"
"OMG, didn’t expect to meet old friends again, Civilization Guardian, haha, this name is just too silly!"
The core members who knew the past discussed inside the car, explaining to those who joined later and weren’t familiar with the situation, carrying a sense of emotion and nostalgia.
Soon, Wu Daqiang led four companions out of the shop, each carrying backpacks and weapons. Except for Wu Daqiang and Xiaotiao, the other three had strange expressions on their faces.
Over here, everyone from Celestial Horse Island naturally got off the vehicles, fully armed, standing next to the car lights, using the darkness to protect themselves, and using the light to deter the other side.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Su laughed heartily, stepping forward to give Wu Daqiang a warm hug, saying, "Officer Wu, I didn’t expect to meet again after parting, how are the brothers from back then? Is Old Li well?"
With the tone of old friends, it instantly shortened the distance between them, Zhang Su didn’t even confiscate their firearms.
Big Soldier Wu’s mouth twitched slightly, waiting until Zhang Su released his arms standing in front of him to truly see his face. Wasn’t he the guy he didn’t like very much, no big changes, except his skin was a bit dry...
"Mr. Zhang, I’m a sergeant, not an officer... We’re all good, Chairman Li is fine too."
"Sergeant or officer, we’ll call you Daqiang from now on, haha, that’s good to hear. This one is called Tiao, I remember Old Li introduced you as Xiaotiao back then, right?"
Zhang Su looked at the tall and thin man following closely behind Wu Daqiang.
Xiaotiao smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "That’s me, Mr. Zhang, just call me Xiaotiao, thanks for taking care of me."
"Haha, it’s a small matter, no need to be so formal between us, as for the remaining three... no rush for introductions, you go rest in the car first, we’ll talk more back at the camp!"
With that, Zhang Su turned around and said, "Xinyu, Zhuzi, Old Tan, greet our old friends!"
No need to be so formal between us?
What kind of relationship do we have?
Wu Daqiang and Xiaotiao felt very puzzled, Zhang Su’s sincere smile seemed genuine, treating them as his own, but why?
Trying to sow discord between Civilization Guardian and other forces for division and attack later?
Completely baffled...
