Chapter 64 The Farmer and the Snake

Luo Qiang is 1.9 meters tall and looks very burly compared to the skinny men around him.

At this time, Luo Qiang stood in the middle of the crowd and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother. I came here specifically to thank Captain Wang for not killing me last time. Where is Captain Wang? Why don't you let him come out to see me!"

"Our Captain Wang doesn't have time to see you, so hurry up and leave. Otherwise, even if Captain Wang has a good temper, if you piss him off, I'm afraid you, Boss Luo, won't be able to leave this time!"

"Ha ha……!"

Luo Qiang laughed loudly, and the people around him all laughed along.

At this time, Luo Qiang was already confident in his heart. He waved his hand, and two of his younger brothers immediately brought a man in his fifties to the front of the team.

"Thank you, brother. Is this your man?"

"He Jinping? What happened? How did they catch you?" Xie Leshan's face suddenly changed.

"Deputy Captain Xie, I...I don't want to betray the cave, but they beat me to death and I can't bear it!" He Jinping was covered in blood, and both of his arms were broken and hung limply.

At this moment, Xie Leshan understood that the news of Captain Wang and all the young and strong men’s disappearance could no longer be hidden.

"Luo Qiang, even without that group of young and strong men, there are still five or six hundred people in the cave. You only have thirty or so subordinates. Do you want to take over the cave?" Xie Leshan scolded.

"Haha, five or six hundred people?"

Luo Qiang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Five or six hundred women, children, old and young, have lost their leader. They should be panicking. I'm afraid they no longer trust you, right?"

Xie Leshan was silent, as Luo Qiang hit the nail on the head.

Ever since Captain Wang and that group of young and strong men disappeared, many voices opposing him have emerged in the cave, and many people are doubting his and Captain Wang's abilities!

"Even if you still have appeal, those women and children have been spoiled by you and Captain Wang. What kind of humanity are you talking about with them? It is precisely because of this that they have no idea of ​​the dangers of the end of the world. A group of old men and women who were given seats on the bus before the end of the world, a group of female students who are pursued by men, and a group of children who are still breastfeeding... Haha... How many of them have the courage to take up arms?"

After Luo Qiang finished speaking, Xie Jinshan's face had turned pale.

"Xie brother, how about this, you open the door and let us in, and then you can follow me and enjoy the good life. It's better than you trying hard to please a bunch of losers, only to be blamed in the end!" Luo Qiang said loudly.

"Don't think about it!"

Xie Leshan's eyes were red: "Unless I die!"

He used to be a soldier and served in the same unit as Captain Wang. After retiring, they started a pharmaceutical business together because they were from the same hometown.

The company made money this year, and Xie Leshan and Captain Wang led several senior executives of the company to the Dawei Mountains for team building. Unexpectedly, they encountered the meteorite shower, and then the whole world changed.

That day, he and Captain Wang led their team to hide in this cave, where hundreds of refugees had already gathered, and many of them were injured to varying degrees. It happened that Xie Jinshan's team brought a lot of medicine. The spirit of a soldier is to protect the people. He and Captain Wang discussed and decided that saving people was the most important thing.

The meteorite shower lasted for a month. Hundreds of strangers gathered together for a long time, and naturally encountered many problems. They could only elect a person in charge. Because of the actions of Xie Jinshan and Captain Wang to save people, they were voted by many people and naturally became the leaders in the cave.

After the meteorite shower stopped, several more groups of survivors fled into the cave. They learned from their mouths that in a cave five kilometers away, there lived a group of ruffians from a mortgage company. Their leader was called Luo Qiang. They had killed many people in order to rob and plunder supplies.

After Captain Wang and Xie Jinshan received the news, they immediately summoned all the young and strong men to form a cave guard team, with Captain Wang as the captain and Xie Jinshan as the deputy captain.

Xie Jinshan was also good at making weapons. He accidentally discovered that someone in the cave was carrying materials for making gunpowder, so he melted iron in the cave and made the simplest single-shot pistol.

Soon Luo Qiang arrived and was beaten to a pulp by them. Xie Jinshan and Captain Wang’s prestige in the cave became even higher!

Five days ago, several young men went out to look for supplies and brought back a huge dead rat. According to them, when they found the rat, it was still alive, but it was bitten by something, and there were many traces of rats nearby.

Captain Wang ordered his men to cook the dead rat meat into several large pots of broth.

Everyone tasted the pseudo-mutant beast meat for the first time and they all scrambled for it.

Unfortunately, there was too little rat meat, and each person could only have a sip of soup.

Then someone encouraged the guard team to catch mice, and the calls became louder and louder. Captain Wang and Xie Jinshan saw that the children in the cave were pale and thin, so they agreed.

Xie Jinshan wanted to stay in the cave to continue making guns. Except for him, all the young and strong men followed Captain Wang out.

Now, Xie Jinshan thinks that this was a fatal mistake!

At least some young and strong ones should have been left!

"Then go to hell!" Luo Qiang suddenly raised a homemade iron bow, aimed at Xie Jinshan and shot.

Xie Jinshan quickly lowered his head, and the arrow stuck in the crack of the stone in front of him.

At this time, inside the wall, behind Xie Jinshan, there were more than a hundred men over the age of sixty gathered.

The group of uncles all looked nervous.

These are the people in the cave who can still be considered capable of fighting!

"Get on the wall, defend it!"

Xie Jinshan gave an order, then pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired a shot at Luo Qiang.

The effective range of the homemade pistol was less than 50 meters, and the barrel was uneven. In addition, Xie Jinshan had not practiced shooting for many years, so the shot naturally missed the target, but hit the thigh of a man next to Luo Qiang.

"Ahhhh... Fuck you!" The man screamed, fell to the ground, hugged his thigh which was bleeding, and started crying.

"Disperse, retreat, quickly!" Luo Qiang gave the order immediately, completely ignoring the life or death of the injured man.

More than thirty people quickly dispersed within a hundred meters, all staring at the wall cautiously, fearing that Xie Jinshan would shoot them from behind.

"If I had known earlier, I would have brought Yangshan's gun as well." Luo Qiang said regretfully.

"Boss, they have guns, it's going to be difficult today!" said a younger brother.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. There can't be too many materials in the cave for making guns and ammunition. Most of them should have been taken out by Captain Wang. Xie Jinshan doesn't have many guns in his hands, so don't worry!" Luo Qiang said confidently.

In fact, as he said, Captain Wang mobilized all the power of the cave for rat meat.

In the past few days, Xie Jinshan only made one gun and collected enough gunpowder for three rounds of firing!

Xie Jinshan had just fired a shot and had two more chances to fire.

At this time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he looked back.

The old men behind him were still standing there, and no one went up the wall to help with defense.

"What are you all doing?" Xie Jinshan scolded.

"Thank you, Captain. It's not that we don't want to help, but we are just too old. This wall is more than two meters high and we can't climb up. Do you have any guns? Can you lend them to us?" said an old man with acne scars on his face.

"Captain Wang and his men took all the guns away. Where can they be found?"

Xie Jinshan gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't come up, I can't defend it alone. If we let them rush in, everyone in the cave will be in trouble!"

Everyone remained unmoved, thinking that even if the sky fell, there were still tall people to hold it up.

"It's so dangerous to let them, their old age, fight against the youngsters!"

"Thank you, Captain. My legs and feet are not good. I really can't go up. I will defend for you here!"

"Old Liu, you just turned sixty, you are in great spirits, go ahead!"

"Bullshit, I just had prostate surgery half a year ago, how can my physical condition compare to yours?"

"..."

A group of people were arguing. Anyway, even if someone had to die, it should be someone else who went first.

Your own life is more important than anything else!

……

At this time, Zhao Yin's mutant beast team had arrived one kilometer away.

He listened attentively for a while, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm on his face.
