Chapter 201: Chapter 177: Ghost 2

Clearly, most people didn’t want to be in the first wave. After all, this pack of Spiritual Apes was obviously gathering its strength. Their next attack was bound to be as ferocious as a tidal wave.

"I..."

The bald man gritted his teeth, but despair washed over him as he met Hong She’s frigid gaze. He thought of how this man had shattered the morale he’d painstakingly built with just a few words.

"Fine! I agree!"

He had no choice but to comply. "But I want to trade for a different blade."

"Fine."

Hong She nodded.

"I want one of your knives."

"A combat knife!"

The bald man had guts.

Hong She laughed. "I can give it to you," he said. "But... if you or your men dare to retreat even half a step later, I’ll personally riddle you with holes."

With that, he tossed his own combat knife to the bald man.

"Brother Snake."

"This saleswoman is still alive."

"She was just helping this family of three. Looks like they were interested in buying a property."

Brother Dong grabbed the saleswoman by the hair, dragged her in front of Hong She, and spoke.

"Ah!"

"Help! I wasn’t the one filming! It wasn’t me! I don’t know anything!"

The saleswoman was still adamant.

However, her soaked pants and body, trembling like a leaf, betrayed her true feelings.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Hong She understood instantly.

’The person who filmed us must be one of that family of three!’

"Nicely done."

"You can pick fourteen people for the fifth wave."

He waved his hand dismissively.

"Great."

Brother Dong was ecstatic.

Immediately, a crowd gathered around Brother Dong, hoping to be put in his wave.

Hong She ignored the scene unfolding below, not even glancing at the family of three. Instead, his eyes fell upon the saleswoman. "Those long legs... tsk, tsk."

"Here, lie down in front of me."

"Be a good girl."

"I... I..."

The saleswoman was terrified and wanted to refuse, but faced with Hong She’s dangerous gaze, she could only grit her teeth and nod.

She scrambled twice but failed to get up onto the large boulder.

In the end, Hong She reached out a hand and hauled her up.

"I need a gun rest."

Hong She said with a smirk.

"I..."

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, then lay down, raised her feet, and propped up the gun barrel.

Although the pose was highly suggestive, she didn’t mind. In fact...

...she was inwardly overjoyed.

’Because now I don’t have to join the fight down below.’

’Just being a rest.’

’What’s the big deal?’

’I’d be willing to do this forever!’

’Now more than ever, I can’t admit that I just lied.’

’What if I admit it and he kills me?’

’This is so much better!’

"Old Xie, want to pick one for yourself?"

Hong She suggested.

"No, thanks."

Xie Shaokun quickly waved his hand in refusal. He had no such inclinations.

"Heh heh."

Hong She chuckled, unconcerned. "Well, in that case," he said, "you three are useless to me."

"So, here’s what we’ll do."

"Baldy, they’re yours."

"First wave, eighteen people!"

"Alright!"

At these words, the bald man’s eyes lit up.

Three more people.

That meant more people to share the burden, increasing his own chances of survival.

"No! Don’t! We’re begging you, please spare us!"

THUD.

The family of three instantly dropped to their knees, begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, Hong She completely ignored them.

The bald man, however, approached with his men to drag the three of them to the front.

This terrified the family.

"I’ll talk!"

"It was my mom! She just went to the bathroom, and then she took out her phone and deleted a video!"

The son, a man of twenty-three or twenty-four, had long since lost his nerve. He pointed at his mother and yelled.

"You..."

The mother trembled, looking at her son in disbelief. "It wasn’t me!" she shrieked. "It wasn’t me!"

"Let’s go!"

The bald man was already on her, grabbing the mother and hauling her to her feet.

"Save me! Save me!"

The mother screamed at her husband.

But it was no use.

Not only did her husband fail to intervene, but when he saw the bald man’s subordinates heading his way, he immediately yelled to Hong She, "Brother Snake, she’s the one who filmed you! It has nothing to do with me or my son! Please, don’t make us go in the first wave!"

"You..."

The mother’s face instantly twisted with venomous hatred. "You animal! You were the one who made me film it! If I didn’t listen to you, you would’ve just beaten me again when we got home."

"SOB..."

With that, the truth was out.

"You’re full of shit!"

The father, his face a mask of panic, hastily denied it. "I didn’t! She’s slandering me!"

For a moment, the couple devolved into a shouting match.

Everyone watching was filled with disgust.

Xie Shaokun watched the two clowns with an icy gaze. Sensing the imminent danger, he issued a reminder: "Time’s running out."
