Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 99 - 91: Inviting Wolves to Fend Off Tigers

Chapter 99: Chapter 91: Inviting Wolves to Fend Off Tigers

Among the group of black-clad deliverymen, that dazzling figure was especially prominent.

Su Lin’s gaze swept over and he suddenly froze.

“Song Yiyi?!” He exclaimed in a low voice.

That face, that slender waist, they were exactly alike!

At this moment, a figure dashed excitedly out of the village gate.

“Sister!”

The real Song Yiyi raced out of the village, the group merely glanced at her and did not stop her.

She plunged into the team, tightly embracing the long-haired girl whose hair reached her waist.

“Twins…” Su Lin touched his chin in amazement, suddenly realizing.

Zhao Yaxin glanced at him and said lightly:

“What? Interested? Want to take these stunning twin sisters in as tenants?”

“Hehe,” Su Lin laughed softly, and then frankly admitted:

“Such beautiful and charming twins, it’s hard for any man not to be moved. It’s just…”

He looked at the twin sisters with similar appearances and equally graceful figures, shaking his head:

“Their background is not only dangerous, but they are sure to be trouble.”

Song Yiren is scheming so much, it can’t just be to find a resting place.

If she’s intent on revenge, Su Lin definitely doesn’t want to get involved.

If they could exchange resources for the Snakehead Ground Daisy in her possession, that would be ideal.

At this moment, the vendor referred to as “Old Que’er” by Liu Jun squeezed out of the crowd and quickly walked towards the group.

He spoke quietly with one of them for a few moments, then turned around and pointed in the direction of the Su Family’s group.

Soon, the man in the group who was obviously the leader swept his sharp gaze over.

Su Lin inadvertently met his eyes, his heart freezing.

That gaze was as sharp as a falcon, carrying an invisible sense of oppression!

“This man is definitely above the Tendon Lock level!… Could he be even stronger than Grandpa or Second Uncle?!” He thought with shock.

The old man squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice:

“He’s a master. For the group to send such a character this time?”

Su Qi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, seeming to have figured something out, but his face remained calm, saying:

“With the Tier One Mechanism Blueprint in hand, it’s normal to find a strong person for protection. Let’s go, it’s time to greet the guests.”

Regardless of whether the group was on a routine trade mission or had another purpose, as hosts, for reasons of propriety, they should step forward and welcome them.

Although the group is often called deceptive merchants, everyone knows that without the Shunfeng Travel Group traveling between camps, many people would have starved to death during the mid-apocalypse.

At that time, it was right at the point when pre-apocalypse grain reserves were exhausted.

Nowadays, although coarse grains are not tasty and not very nutritious, they can fill bellies and keep people alive.

These were brought by the group from advanced camps.

And they don’t hoard their goods, the prices of grains are not high.

It can be said, for villages and camps like theirs, Shunfeng Travel Group’s presence is indebted.

Although, regarding Treasure Meat and mechanism items, their selling prices are indeed high.

Just as the Su Family was about to leave, the crowd behind suddenly stirred.

“What’s going on? Why the pushing!”

“Are you looking to get hurt?! Stop shoving!”

“It wasn’t me! Someone’s pushing from behind!”

Amid the commotion, the crowd was rudely parted. A team coldly forced a path through.

The second group’s people frowned seeing this.

Zhong Wubin, surrounded by close associates, strode forward without looking at the Su Family, as if he didn’t see them.

He walked straight to the Shunfeng Travel Group which had reached near the village gate, his face beaming with a bold smile, loudly saying:

“Hahaha, honored guests! We’ve long-awaited the travel group’s esteemed visitors! I’m the leader of Wuyin Village’s Hunting Group, Zhong Wubin!”

The travel group man who had been speaking with Old Que’er looked with interest at the separate Su Family and Zhong Wubin, his gaze moving between them.

The Su Family paused in their steps.

Liu Jun scoffed disdainfully.

Su Qi’s lip curled into a sneer: “He’s panicking.”

Zhong Wubin’s action exposed the village’s sharp conflict bare to outsiders, which is highly unfavorable for Wuyin Village.

At such a critical time, if Wuyin Village cannot unite as one, people will surely take advantage.

Yet Zhong Wubin continued to act this way.

This clearly wasn’t just a mistake, he likely did it intentionally.

Su Lin furrowed his brow, rapid thoughts connecting in a flash:

“Second Uncle, could Zhong Wubin… have known about Cloud Village’s First Transformation Genetic Martial Artist?”

The others froze at his words.

Su Qi’s gaze flashed: “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t he forcibly announce a collaboration with Black Scale Village last week, looking particularly impatient?”

Su Lin’s speech quickened, thoughts hitting clarity:

Last week Zhong Wubin had exploited the end-of-month lord hunt to publicly force the Su Family to choose sides, insisting on cooperating with Black Scale Village.

Back then it seemed like Zhong Wubin was acting out of anger.

His actions seemed somewhat foolish.

Because after the Su Family showed reluctance to cooperate, Zhong Wubin’s position in the village became precarious.

Many Hunting Group members who resented Black Scale Village treated him mockingly, reducing his influence and causing his reputation to plummet.

His position as leader seemed endangered, while the Su Family’s prestige soared once again.

Especially since the old man divided an entire piece of Treasure Meat, the Su Family’s reputation seemed to return to its peak.

At first glance, it looked like Zhong Wubin shot himself in the foot.

But upon deeper thought,

Su Lin suspected Zhong Wubin might already know about Cloud Village’s situation, hence his eagerness to unlock the Bone Lock and achieve First Transformation.

Su Lin shared his thoughts, his gaze sweeping across their shocked faces:

“Black Scale Village might also know. If not, why would they willingly trade Treasure Meat capable of unlocking Bone Lock with him, rather than keeping it for their leader to achieve First Transformation?”

Liu Jun’s face turned ashen, his suppressed fury erupting in a low growl:

“Regarding the village’s life-or-death matter! How dare he withhold it?! This damn scoundrel!”

Su Qi sneered, continuing:

“Now Cloud Village is destroyed, leaving Black Scale Village without external pressure, naturally unwilling to give up precious Treasure Meat.

“Tier One Mechanism is precious, but still less reliable than a genuine First Transformation Genetic Martial Artist.

“The Black Scale leader simply needs to accumulate enough Qi and Blood, then use the Treasure Meat for their own breakthrough.”

Su Lin nodded, his gaze icy, fixed on Zhong Wubin’s distant back:

“Cloud Village fell so suddenly, Zhong Wubin lost his position within the village and was abandoned by Black Scale Village, leaving him at a dead end! He’s deliberately intensifying conflicts, exposing internal discord, likely aiming to…”

His voice dropped to a murmur:

“Invite the wolves to drive away the tiger… using outsiders to drag us down!”

The uncle-nephew pair unraveled Zhong Wubin’s dark intention thoroughly.

Everyone listening had expressions dark as water, their glares towards Zhong Wubin filled with disdain and murderous intent.

A selfish person, disregarding the village’s safety, how could he be fit to lead a village?!

Liu Jun’s clenching fists crackled.

He suddenly turned to Su Lin, eyes showing unprecedented complexity and resolve:

“I can finally see clearly, kid… maybe you’re actually right!”
