Ever since Spring Xiu had made Yao Ruyi and the other three look foolish, he had been stationed by the hand-held radio, waiting. He believed that this group rescuing Liu Fugui would definitely contact him.
However, to his great surprise, this group was bold enough to use the original frequency to contact Liu Fugui. Did they not know that walls have ears and weren’t they worried about being eavesdropped on!
So of Spring Xiu’s n did raise objections, but by that ti, Spring Xiu was already infuriated by the day’s events and wouldn’t listen to his subordinates’ advice and doubts. He was determined; he would make Liu Fugui taste his wrath no matter what, or else if this got out, how would he continue to roam the underworld.
Moreover, analyzing the current situation, even if Liu Fugui wanted to play tricks, he wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble with the cards in his hand, so there was no cause for concern.
Therefore, while talking to He Lei, he had already ordered his n to adjust the driving direction, setting course for the villa.
However, as the journey progressed, the slowly calming Spring Xiu began to reassess his decision, feeling uneasy mainly because of the villa’s situation.
Sure, he could disregard Liu Fugui’s strength, but one must not forget, just over a month ago, Yang Buwei had taken 3 guns and 7 people there to demand supplies, but not only did the mission fail, they even returned wounded.
So if the villa accepts Liu Fugui and they form an alliance, Spring Xiu would have to be wary of the combined strength.
He didn’t know the relationship between Liu Fugui and the villa crew. Just thinking about it infuriated him. If it weren’t for those sudden four people, he would have had captives to interrogate, and now he had no way to return to the factory.
Who told him to boast earlier? As the saying goes, spilled water can’t be gathered up, especially after shouting it in front of his n. If he changed his mind suddenly, it would be like slapping himself in the face.
Spring Xiu couldn’t swallow his pride, but for safety’s sake, he decided to take precautions: "Listen up, everyone, you all know why we’re going on this trip, it’s to take down that bastard Liu Fugui. You’ve seen what happened earlier, that guy almost got us surrounded by zombies, so we have to settle this score. Anyone who can take down Liu Fugui for today, I promise you won’t regret it. There are plenty of won in the factory, see who can earn this reward upon returning, over!"
As it is said that heavy rewards inspire brave n, Spring Xiu believed he understood his n well. They were all death row inmates awaiting execution, and if it weren’t for this apocalypse, they would have already gone to see King Yama.
Before being caught, they were doing all sorts of bad things, living a life of indulgence, so although they managed to survive after the apocalypse, the monotonous life drove them crazy. As for won, they were sothing they yearned for day and night but had no opportunity to encounter.
Now that Spring Xiu offered won as a reward for taking Liu Fugui’s head, he believed it could spur his n into action.
Inside the villa, people’s attitudes varied, the sudden heavy snowfall caught Old Xu and the leadership team off guard.
After all, their stockpile of supplies wasn’t abundant, and with Yang Buwei and his group potentially attacking any ti, restocking supplies promptly was necessary to ensure security against conflicts that could erupt at any mont.
However, this heavy snow disrupted their original plans, the extrely low visibility forced Old Cao’s team, who was supposed to bring back supplies today, to postpone their plans.
Without a weather forecast, they couldn’t predict future weather conditions, and if the weather remained harsh, the outlook for the villa would be grim. This naturally made Old Xu and the others worried.
But compared to Old Xu and the others’ concerns, the snowfall brought a lot of joy to the rest, except those on guard duty. Everyone else seized this rare opportunity to relive childhood mories.
A group of n threw snowballs at each other joyfully, while Wei Yang quietly built a snowman with Fangfang.
The little coal ball went crazy, jumping back and forth in the snow. The only one unaffected by the snow was Yang Xue, who, after noticing the unusual weather early in the morning, comfortably changed her position and went back to sleep.
In her view, it was a rare opportunity given by heaven for a good sleep, and not taking advantage of it would be wasting heaven’s intention.
Lei Tong diligently stood guard on the rooftop, the widespread snow undoubtedly made his work much more difficult.
However, the more adverse the weather, the more he needed to be vigilant, as such conditions could provide excellent cover for enemy sneak attacks.
Wang Qiang was quite frustrated today. The snow blocked roads, and Yang Xue hadn’t contacted him as usual, making him think she was blaming him for not keeping his word and failing to return to the villa as promised.
As the day darkened outside, Wang Qiang’s last hope of returning faded. He knew there was no chance of returning today.
Watching Wang Qiang gazing skyward from the window, Tang Xiaoquan couldn’t resist teasing him. He cleared his throat and sang, "This is love, inexplicable, this is love, hazy and fuzzy!"
Recognizing the implication in the song, Wang Qiang turned and glared at him, cursing, "A good song, but your mouth made it sound like a damn funeral song. Please shut up and stop ruining it."
Tang Xiaoquan laughed and replied, "Patron, it’s not that I sang badly, but that I sang what’s in your heart. From your words, it’s clear that your mood is like attending a funeral, what exactly is worrying you so much?"
Wang Qiang glared and snapped, "Yes, my mood is like attending a funeral, and if you ask why, it’s because you’re this damn jinx here beside , damn it!"
Perhaps due to the weather, Old Xu felt unsettled today, sensing sothing might happen, but as darkness approached, everything remained calm. He could only sigh, thinking he was overthinking.
He habitually paced to the top floor balcony, where Lei Tong was bent over using binoculars, and his down jacket was covered in a layer of snow. Old Xu quietly approached, and the alert Lei Tong quickly turned around, "Who?"
"Hehe, it’s , Lei Tong, don’t be nervous!"
"Oh, it’s you, Commander! The snow today is really heavy! Uncommon for the south, huh?"
"Indeed, the last heavy snowfall like this was in ’98, and just like now, when you stepped onto the road, your leg would sink into the snow up to your calf." Old Xu said as he smiled and brushed the snow off Lei Tong, asking, "How is it? Anything unusual?"
"Everything’s normal, Commander, but if it keeps snowing like this, night surveillance will be quite challenging!"
Old Xu looked up at the sky, frowning slightly as he said, "Yes, but there’s nothing we can do, we’ll have to assign more people and stay vigilant!" (To be continued.
