#348 - Chapter 348: Salty Hands
"Pao-ge! Wei-ge! Come over here and take a look! This car is awesome!"
Outside the abandoned factory.
A young man with yellow hair shouted and beckoned to his companions who had just come out from behind.
He didn't pay any attention to the Green Origin people in the cars.
It seemed he already regarded what he saw before him as his own!
Following his shouts.
More people came out of the three cars behind!
Besides the drivers, there were twelve other people!
A total of fifteen people!
Li Bowen narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the two men who came out from behind.
Hanging on their waists, protected by their right hands, were handguns!
They have firearms!
No wonder they are so arrogant.
Although guns are banned in China, after the apocalypse, survivors in various places would inevitably find some lost and remaining firearms.
But the current situation is not enough to make him nervous or fearful.
Just two handguns.
"People in the car, would you mind getting out and talking? We are looking for the people living in this abandoned factory, namely Xiao Ming and them, we have some business!"
One of the men with a square face and a handgun on his waist patted the yellow-haired youth's head, ignoring the latter's slightly complaining look, and shouted at the three cars in a relatively polite manner.
He didn't speak as impulsively as his yellow-haired subordinate. Although he was a small team leader of the Tian Hong gang, he had a certain amount of power and status.
But the three cars that appeared in front of him were obviously not simple!
This yellow-haired teammate was too blind!
He must discipline these subordinates properly when he gets back. They are used to bullying the surrounding survivors every day, and they don't even have any awe for people who are obviously not easy to mess with!
He had just seen Xiao Ming peeking out from one of the cars behind. Their target for this trip was here!
Team Leader Li and the others glanced at Xiao Ming behind them, whose face was very bad.
"They are indeed here to find us!"
"Just like I said, they came today to ask us to hand over three kilograms of grain! Where do we have so much!"
Speaking of this, his face was already a little distorted with anger.
Originally, last night he and his other companions planned to leave this area as soon as it dawned today, in order to avoid the Tian Hong gang's collection of "protection fees", but he didn't expect that the other party would rush over so early to surround them!
It was probably also because they were afraid that they would slip away in advance.
The survivors living in this area, except for bicycles and other manual tools, basically all usable means of transportation are controlled by the Tian Hong gang.
The other party also patrols around irregularly. It is said that once anyone is found leaving without permission, they will not only have to hand over double the amount but also be beaten up!
They completely regard this area as their grazing ground!
"Let's go down and explain clearly."
Li Bowen knew that if they didn't negotiate, the other party probably wouldn't leave easily.
He still wanted to rush back to the base as soon as possible.
If Xiao Ming or the other party didn't know what's good for them, then don't blame him for showing unnecessary force...
Tap tap.
The Green Origin combat team members, except for the drivers, all jumped out of the cars, including Xiao Ming and the others.
Then.
Holy crap!!!!
Looking at this group of fully armed personnel wielding submachine guns, pistols, crossbows, and faces full of 'don't mess with me' expressions.
The middle-aged man with a square face named Wei-ge only felt his hands and feet were cold, and his scalp was numb!
Where did these people come from!
How could they have so many weapons!?
"Um... we are here to find Xiao Ming and them, may I ask who you are?"
Wei-ge lowered his tone again. He realized that coming over like this was definitely an extremely wrong decision!
"Passing by."
Team Leader Li glanced at him and replied casually.
"......"
It was Wei-ge's turn to be embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this time, another companion with a gun hanging on his waist noticed that the situation was not right and quickly came over to defuse the situation.
"These brothers, we are from Tian Hong, we are here today to find Xiao Ming and them for something, please don't have any misunderstandings, if it's convenient, let us communicate and then leave."
Another man, known as Pao-ge, with a bald head, also lowered his tone and politely spoke to Team Leader Li.
He was also an old rogue who used to hang out on the streets, knowing that he couldn't confront someone tough head-on at this time.
Hearing this, Li Bowen pondered slightly, seeing that the other party's attitude was still okay, and they hadn't done anything out of line for the time being, it seemed that there was no reason to take action immediately?
So he looked at Xiao Ming behind him.
The latter saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he had to walk to the front and stand in front of Wei-ge and Pao-ge.
"We don't have that much grain! And we were attacked by zombies last night, and four people died!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ming was mixed with anger and sadness.
Four companions died last night, and these people still came to collect protection fees today. If it weren't for the deterrence of Team Leader Li and the others, they would probably be exploited clean!
So what he meant now was that he didn't want to pay.
Wei-ge and Pao-ge of course also understood what Xiao Ming meant.
The two were secretly angry, but when they thought of this group of fully armed gunmen who didn't know where they came from, they suppressed their anger.
They can't win!
"Since so many of you have died, then it's nothing."
Wei-ge said, following his words.
Now that there was a way out, he and Pao-ge were ready to leave here.
Xiao Ming and the others leaving with this group of unknown people couldn't be helped, it was better than starting a conflict and losing their lives here.
It's not worth it for a mere amount of grain.
Just when Xiao Ming and the others felt a little surprised but also felt it was reasonable, a scene that was even more unexpected by most people appeared!
Just when the two small cadres of the Tian Hong gang also thought that the matter had come to an end and they could lead their companions away, a loud shout from a woman came from the other side!
"What are you doing!!"
******
Time goes back half a minute.
The yellow-haired youth saw the two small team leaders discussing things with that group of people over there.
In his expectation, they were from the Tian Hong gang, the sky of this area.
How dare other people offend them?
The yellow-haired youth used to be an uneducated unemployed hoodlum. After the apocalypse, he was lucky enough to join the Tian Hong gang. With this identity, he had lived a relatively comfortable life in the past six months.
Coming over to collect protection fees today, seeing a few super mighty cars, if Wei-ge and Pao-ge could get them and give them to the boss, then everyone could share some benefits!?
He thought happily.
Completely forgetting that Wei-ge had patted his head to remind him not to be too presumptuous. (He hadn't reacted yet)
There are people in the world like him who are so blind.
Maybe he was used to being arrogant.
As a result, not long after, his eyes were attracted by Yao Lei and Zhou Xin who got out of the car!
How long had he not seen such beautiful and clean women!
Yao Lei and Zhou Xin possessed the fairness and refinement that ordinary women in the apocalypse did not have, coupled with the heroic spirit they showed when standing guard, which greatly impacted the yellow-haired youth!
What great women!
He only felt his whole body was hot, and an unprecedented inexplicable impulse went straight to the cerebral cortex!
I really want to get them!
Unaccountably.
The yellow-haired youth walked to the side of the two female team members Yao Lei and Zhou Xin, and stretched out his claws to grab Yao Lei's chest!
