Chapter 205

~8 min read 1,404 words

"This is our first time visiting Big Brother Zhang's place. We have specially prepared some gifts. It's a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."

Wang Xingui walked to the car, opened the trunk, and inside were three bags of flour, half a pig, and a large bundle of vermicelli—simple and unadorned, yet appearing so sincere.

"Whoa, Village Chief Wang is asking us to make pork stewed with vermicelli, haha!" Jia Shiqin saw this scene and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Fortunately, they had just finished eating, so it couldn't trigger Zheng Xinyu's cravings. She smiled and nodded, saying: "Just leave these here for now, and we'll decide after Brother Su returns. You guys follow me, come inside and sit."

"On the way here just now, I saw large traces of fire in the fields below. I wonder what happened?"

In the Wangshan Homestay restaurant, the guests and hosts took their seats, and Wang Xingui asked curiously.

Yu Wen pushed up his glasses and smiled: "Some zombie corpses; we didn't have time to bury them, so we just burned them."

"You don't burn them?"

Zheng Xinyu saw Wang Xingui's slightly surprised expression and asked.

Wang Xingui shook his head: "Never burned them. There is an abandoned quarry next to the village, and we've been throwing them in there since the disaster broke out. Ooh... it's so warm here. You guys also burn heating?"

Wang Xingui was full of anticipation. At a time like this, with many people and great power, it's always good to pull in another ally.

Wang Xingui and his group stood up immediately.

Chatting casually, the group drank two pots of tea. After about half an hour, Zhang Su pushed the door open and walked into the restaurant, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

"Haha, Guizi, kept you waiting!"

Especially the young man named Little Bo, who looked fierce but was actually not very brave. Zhang Su's massacre at Beidong Town had left him with huge psychological trauma, and it was precisely he who subconsciously shouted the name Yama, which led the people of United Village to start calling Zhang Su by this elegant nickname.

"Haha, too polite. I listen to Big Brother Zhang, hehe."

Zhang Su swung the rifle on his shoulder to his back, took off his gloves, and slapped them on the table with a thud.

"Ma Changshou? He's the one in charge of Xidaying Village, right? What's his attitude? Are they also unwilling to hand over grain?"

"Not long, not long, haha. Big Brother Zhang, your tea here is really fragrant. Not to mention now, I've never smelled such fragrant tea before."

"It's zero degrees at night, how can we not burn heating..."

"Mm, you guys go ahead!" Zhang Su smiled, then looked at the three of Wang Xingui and pointed to the chairs: "Sit, everyone sit. Tea is fragrant? You gave me over a hundred pounds of flour and half a pig, so I have to return the favor. Take a canister back later and drink it slowly."

Tea leaves are definitely a high-end luxury item nowadays, a grade higher than cigarettes and alcohol. There aren't many survivor camps that have the time to sit down and taste tea!

Wang Xingui rubbed his hands. After sitting down, his expression changed, and he said: "Big Brother Zhang, what should we do about the Green Dragon Legion?"

"After I left your place yesterday, I went to Xidaying Village. Guess what Ma Changshou's attitude was?"

Zheng Xinyu and the others stood up and said: "Brother Su, we're going to help move things."

Zhang Su smiled, picked up his cup and drank it in one gulp, looking at the two people beside Wang Xingui.

Zhang Su liked the rhythm of getting straight to the point. He squeezed his palm, preparing to pour water to take a sip. Seeing this, Wang Xingui hurriedly stood up to get a cup and poured him one, showing quite a bit of perceptiveness.

"This is my uncle, my father's third younger brother, Wang Longzhong, and this... Little Bo, you go outside and see if there's anything you can help with. Be sharp, don't cause trouble!"

Wang Xingui felt that Little Bo was dull and couldn't be relied upon at all, so he simply didn't let him listen to secrets to avoid him blurting them out inadvertently.

"Oh, okay!"

Zhai Xiaobo was just worried that sitting in the restaurant was boring and wanted to go out for a stroll, so he walked away happily.

When only the three remained in the restaurant, Zhang Su took out a cigarette case and gave one to Wang Longzhong and Wang Xingui each, saying solemnly: "Guizi, tell me the truth, what is your prestige in United Village? To put it simply, do you have the ability to have everyone respond to your call?"

Wang Xingui took the cigarette but didn't put it in his mouth. He frowned and exchanged glances with his uncle. After about ten seconds, he slowly shook his head and said awkwardly: "Big Brother Zhang, to tell you the truth, there are three or two troublemakers who aren't very convinced by me."

"Guizi, you mean those three from Liangba Village, right?" Wang Longzhong chimed in.

Wang Xingui nodded and shrugged helplessly at Zhang Su.

Zhang Su lit his cigarette and took a puff. In the entire United Village, except for those rescued from Beita Zi Camp, everyone knew Wang Xingui was the person in charge he had named. Those three weren't unconvinced by Wang Xingui; they were unconvinced by him!

However, one couldn't rule out the possibility that Wang Xingui was lying. If he wanted to use himself to eliminate dissidents, that wasn't impossible. This matter would be verified later!

"Xidaying Village didn't resist, nor did they choose to hand over grain. Instead, they joined the Green Dragon Legion directly. From now on, only you and us will be left in this area!"

Zhang Su said slowly.

"What?"

Wang Xingui and Wang Longzhong's expressions changed; Xidaying Village's move was unexpected.

"Big Brother Zhang, this... did Xidaying Village really join them? Damn, this is really... this is too... what should we do?"

Wang Xingui was suddenly at a loss.

Zhang Su watched the changes in the expressions of the Wang uncle and nephew, and after a moment said: "So what if they joined? Joining the Green Dragon Legion is a wise choice. They have abundant weapons, and you can't fight them. Either submit, join, or run away... At this time, where can you run to?"

The Wang uncle and nephew looked at each other in silence for a long time after hearing Zhang Su's words.

"Big Brother Zhang, could it be... that you also intend to join the Green Dragon Legion?"

Wang Xingui asked with a frown.

Zhang Su took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Haven't you thought about joining the Green Dragon Legion?"

"No!" Wang Xingui waved his hand decisively: "Only a few people in the village want to join the Green Dragon Legion; everyone else wants to live in the village. We have fields to plant, pigs to feed. Zombies won't appear out of thin air, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer of them in the future. Why join that broken legion? No!"

Zhang Su looked at Wang Xingui with some surprise. From the expressions on their faces, he felt the other party wasn't lying. With a thought, he used the 【Insight Tag】, and three bubbles appeared above Wang Xingui's head.

【Dreamer】 【Lazy】 【Unenterprising】

After reading it, Zhang Su was dumbfounded. This was a pure waste of an opportunity. With Wang Xingui's character and ability, it was impossible for him to become an excellent manager. It was only natural that some people in the village were unconvinced!

Thinking about it, it couldn't be considered a waste of an opportunity, because using one 【Insight Tag】 to thoroughly see through a person was still very worthwhile!

Zhang Su was very curious. With Wang Xingui's ability, even if he became the person in charge, it would be very difficult to manage the village's affairs clearly. So why hadn't anything gone wrong for so long?

So Zhang Su turned to use an 【Insight Tag】 on Wang Longzhong as well. The content of the three bubbles made him slap his thigh!

【Silver-tongued】 【Daring to think and act】 【Smooth and slick】
