"If you’re not afraid of the risk of backfire, I can give you a batch of problematic grenades."
Lei Youliang shrugged and made a strange expression, as if saying, even if I give them to you, you can’t use them.
Zhang Su rubbed his chin and said, "How many?"
"Hey! It’s one thing for a rifle to jam and backfire, but if a rocket launcher backfires, it can cost lives!"
The man called Uncle Huo beside him exclaid in alarm.
Zhang Su had a good impression of this straightforward uncle, unlike Lei Youliang who was more cunning, he smiled and said, "I would certainly not risk my life; just tell how many there are?"
The grenades can’t be used, but after disassembling them, so usable raw materials could still be obtained.
Lei Youliang didn’t expect Zhang Su to be serious, frowned in thought, and said, "Then I can give you a hundred!"
"Twenty rifles, forty magazines, ten thousand bullets, twenty grenades that are fine, a hundred problematic grenades, deal?"
"Deal! I’ll throw in fifty stick grenades for you!"
Lei Youliang said heartily, seeing Zhang Su’s doubtful expression, he quickly added, "This is my sincerity, wishing for a smooth alliance between Celestial Horse Island and our Kuanzhuang!"
"Wait!"
Zhang Su raised his hand in surprise and said, "When did I say I wanted an alliance?"
"What?"
Lei Youliang was dumbfounded, pointed at Xiaoya, and asked Zhang Su, "Xiaoya, didn’t she tell you our idea?"
"I did, I did!"
Su Xiaoya quickly raised her hand to prove her innocence.
Zhang Su smirked, "I proved my strength in a battle, it’s reasonable for you to want strong allies, but I don’t know a thing about you. Do you think under such circumstances I could agree to an alliance?"
That bright idea ticks so loudly, but in this world, where’s the good fortune co so easily!
The people of Kuanzhuang looked at each other, Lei Youliang felt extrely speechless inside; he agreed so readily earlier because he hoped for an alliance so as to confront the Cyan Dragon Corps together, arming the other party could also lower their own combat risk.
Who would’ve thought the other party never considered an alliance?
If there’s no alliance, what’s there to discuss.
"No way!"
"You see... Mr. Zhang, I only agreed to your requirents on the basis of our smooth alliance."
Lei Youliang said.
"You have your premise, I have my thoughts! What? Do you think the initiative is in Kuanzhuang’s hands?"
In Zhang Su’s eyes, emotion was sparse, with no fluctuations; sweeping over their faces, it made them feel extrely dangerous.
Lei Youliang could feel a pressure, but as the leader of Kuanzhuang, he had to withstand it.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, you can’t say it like that. While you did take a stand against the Cyan Dragon Corps for us, things aren’t resolved, and the Cyan Dragon Corps HQ might send out stronger ard forces to investigate, which is indeed a troubling matter, right?"
The atmosphere beca noticeably odd once he finished speaking.
"According to what you an, us from Celestial Horse Island eliminating the Grain Collection Team was unnecessary ddling, instead causing trouble for our survivor camps?"
Zhang Su eyed Lei Youliang with a mocking look.
The gaze of Celestial Horse Island’s people also turned cold; such rhetoric from the other party was purely fallacious reasoning, disgusting even in the apocalypse!
"No!" Lei Youliang knew he had spoken hastily, it was sowhat inappropriate, hurriedly tried to smooth it over: "I ant, facing a bigger problem, we should unite and resist together, fighting individually only gives them the chance to defeat us one by one."
Lei Youliang’s grandiose words made the people of Kuanzhuang nod repeatedly, thinking their leader had a broad perspective, but once Zhang Su spoke again, they were all stunned.
"If before today, indeed the Cyan Dragon Corps would send people to investigate the overdue Grain Collection Team, leading us to an unavoidable problem, but not now!"
Zhang Su shoved Su Xiaoya backwards, gesturing Tan Huajun to control her, spreading his hands: "Because the Cyan Dragon Corps no longer exists."
"What?"
Compared to the shock this sentence brought, previous astonishnts were trivial.
Lei Youliang’s facial expression managent went out of control, his features seed stretched out as he asked a question he couldn’t believe: "You wiped out the Cyan Dragon Corps?"
Zhang Su made a quirky expression, neither confirming nor denying, but inside knew clearly, the Cyan Dragon Corps, with less than a hundred people remaining, was thoroughly dood.
Even without witnessing it firsthand, it’s certain those left are mostly elders, won, children, maybe sprinkled with a few timid core mbers, but they are no longer a threat.
Probably hiding in so corner of the barracks, trembling as they peer through cracks at the zombies filling the yard.
What he was most concerned about was the science departnt, unsure of their casualty situation.
Really fulfilled Zheng Xinyu’s words, smooth sailing, no bloodshed, just click and send!
"This..."
"Really?"
"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it."
Zhang Su’s indifferent attitude left the ten mbers of Kuanzhuang looking at each other.
"Mr. Zhang, what you say... it’s not that I don’t want to believe it, but I can’t bear to believe it."
Lei Youliang’s eyebrows knitted in frustration, if the Cyan Dragon Corps really had fallen, then the relationship between Kuanzhuang and Celestial Horse Island beca delicate, and his thoughts grew extrely complex.
In a bland tone, Zhang Su said, "Whether you believe it is your business, the fact is so; why don’t we return to our previous conversation, hurry up and transport the supplies."
"Mr. Zhang, things are not as we imagined. Please allow so ti to consider!" Lei Youliang said sincerely.
Zhang Su gazed towards the sky in Qing County, faint red light could be seen, softly spoke: "Outco doesn’t change by will, if you need ti to consider, sure, I’ll give you ti, once you’re decided, co tell the result at Celestial Horse Island!"
With that, he turned away, casually pulled Su Xiaoya towards the car.
He could guess what Lei Youliang’s so-called "consider" ant, for once the Cyan Dragon Corps was defeated, the dynamics among forces would beco complicated, new issues would arise, choices and decisions needed to be made.
"Uncle Lei, I want to go ho..."
Su Xiaoya looked back at Lei Youliang with a pout, tears swimming in her eyes alongside grievance, afraid of returning to Celestial Horse Island and being fed green powder...
"Hey, are you a man or not, bullying a little girl, leave Xiaoya!"
Yang Liehuo shouted angrily.
"She’s just a captive, a hostage, age, gender doesn’t matter, Village Chief Lei, goodbye!"
Zhang Su’s people got into the vehicles one after another, as the engines started, they quickly returned to the highway, heading south without the slightest hesitation, unlike when pretending to leave during negotiations.
The people of Kuanzhuang stood still, watching the convoy go far, so brow furrowed, so filled with anger, others deep in thought.
"Youliang, you just let them take Xiaoya away? How will you explain this to her sister?"
Yang Liehuo unwillingly roared, spitting as he gestured into the distance.
Lei Youliang wiped his face with so frustration, forcing a smile: "Uncle Huo, don’t get excited; do you think I want this? Celestial Horse Island’s people ca prepared, you saw their deanor. Do you really want to clash with them?"
"No matter what, we should first bring Xiaoya back, I told you this plan was too risky!"
Lei Youliang massaged his temples, saying: "Rest assured, Uncle Huo, they won’t harm Xiaoya. Now the main thing is... Xiaofeng, co over here!"
"Yes, Brother Youliang, what’s up?"
Xiaofeng stepped out from the crowd, a young man in his twenties, with spirited eyes.
"Please take a trip to the Cyan Dragon Corps’ headquarters, investigate the situation, find out what’s really going on!"
Lei Youliang instructed with a somber tone.
"Got it, leave it to !"
"Be careful on the road, watch out for Cyan Dragon Corps’ sentry posts!"
Lei Youliang watched Xiaofeng run towards the village to get a car, and reminded hurriedly.
He had no doubt Celestial Horse Island could defeat the Grain Collection Team, but he had serious doubts about the Cyan Dragon Corps’ complete annihilation!
The truth of this matter was crucial, directly impacting Kuanzhuang’s future developnt path.
