Chapter 230: Ma Changshou's Other Side
Captain Zhang narrowed his eyes. He wasn't very willing to believe a guy like Xiaoshan, but now the sources of information were really too few. Even if there were no dates, he had to hit the tree three times. He waved his hand and said: "Alright, tell us all the news you know!"
Xiaoshan had no idea about Captain Zhang's psychological activities. He felt that someone was supporting him, so he gave Ma Changshou and the others a white look, looking spirited.
"Yesterday, the big van couldn't have been let go. It was because a Uncle Zhang with a gun knew the driver of the big van, so the Village Chief let it go!"
Just one sentence overturned a series of Ma Changshou's previous statements.
Captain Zhang turned his head and looked at Ma Changshou. As a result, the other party responded with a shrug, as if to say, do you believe his words?
The people of Xidaying Village all had their hearts in their throats. Seeing the calm Ma Changshou, they all admired his ability to keep his composure.
"Continue, what's the situation with that Uncle Zhang with the gun!" Captain Zhang signaled Xiaoshan.
Ma Changshou looked around, as if he was saying a final farewell to the place that raised him.
"Several acres of sweet potatoes haven't been dug yet, Village Chief, wait two more days."
The Survivor Alliance members breathed a sigh of relief after the order. They came out to perform tasks and had no idea of fighting for their lives at all. Being arrogant and domineering was cool, but a gunfight was not good!
The tense atmosphere was eased after everyone put down their arms one after another.
Ma Changshou picked some content to tell Captain Zhang. He talked a lot, seemingly describing it in great detail, but didn't reveal important news at all, which belonged to working without effort.
"Don't you forget the destruction of Beitaziying! Those people are not easy to mess with! The Survivor Alliance is powerful, but this small team that came out to do things isn't that strong. You wouldn't expect them to talk about morality, right?"
These news had no direct effect, but let the Survivor Alliance know that Xidaying Village maintained a close connection with another military armed force, which was helpful for making various decisions.
"Old Ma, why don't you tell them the exact news and let them fight, so we can just benefit from it!"
Since it had come to this step, Xiaoshan also considered it to be let go. He gathered his courage and said: "That Uncle Zhang was a group of people who passed by here a long time ago. They drove a big RV, carried machine guns, and there were more than twenty people. They went north. I don't know where they live."
"The Survivor Alliance should be very powerful. I don't think Zhang Su and the others can necessarily win!" Another person said in a low voice.
Pfft...
A group of Xidaying Village villagers stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the two cars driving north, their faces as cold as frost.
He didn't understand the difference between submachine guns, automatic rifles, and machine guns, and collectively called them machine guns.
At the same time, the militia team of Xidaying Village also raised their firelocks. In addition, figures appeared on the walls of some courtyards. There were no firelocks, but the appearance of bending bows and arrows was also very daunting.
Captain Zhang felt that there were loopholes in Ma Changshou's words.
Ma Changshou blew at the muzzle of the gun calmly, then inserted the firelock back into his waist. Facing the dark gun muzzle, he was not afraid, and said calmly: "The little brat is talking nonsense. I will send him to see his father and let his father educate him. Why, is Captain Zhang planning to interfere in the internal affairs of our village?"
Now Xidaying Village was caught between the Green Dragon Corps, Zhang Su's team, and the Survivor Alliance, which was very dangerous. Ma Changshou needed to be very cautious to protect the village. He didn't dare to drive wolves and swallow tigers, which was very easy to be backlashed.
"Village Chief Ma, this area is your place. They want to grab your business, and you let them grab it? It doesn't make sense!"
"My welding machine..."
Captain Zhang saw Ma Changshou's inquiring eyes and thought about it. This indeed made sense.
"Okay, I believe you, then you tell me the information of the person who took the goods, I will go find them!"
"Ha, Captain Zhang, how is the news?"
Unless the Survivor Alliance team could hold their breath and go back to shake people and come back, but looking at their arrogant appearance, it was unlikely to do so.
The villagers all understood Ma Changshou's difficulties and no one said anything more. If they wanted to blame, they blamed Xiaoshan for not seeing the situation clearly. However, with that kid's character, it was estimated that he would be a dead end if he went to the Green Dragon Corps.
Captain Zhang licked his lips with impatience and said: "Is there any more detailed news?"
A sound of opening the safety, the people of the Survivor Alliance instantly raised their guns.
Ma Changshou spread his hands and said: "I am very happy to talk to Boss Zhang. Look, I didn't take weapons. It's you who don't want to talk, pointing guns at me, it's not appropriate."
The meaning was very clear: if you want to talk, put away the guns first!
"Just this?"
"Enough!" Ma Changshou frowned and stared. He had just killed one person, and the evil spirit on him was still very strong. The people around instantly quieted down.
Ma Changshou put his hands behind his back and said: "That little brat said it well. We indeed have trade dealings with another group of people. Yesterday, it happened that the gold van you wanted to trace came. They seemed to know each other. I am not sure about this. It is also possible that the group of people took a fancy to the supplies on the gold van and deliberately acted. Who knows."
Captain Zhang frowned, then relaxed: "You have no reason to hide for them, I believe, tell me the news you know."
"Hoo..."
Bang!
Just halfway through the words, Ma Changshou raised his hand and fired a shot. The firelock was smoking with black smoke, directly opening a hole in Xiaoshan's head. The gurgling blood instantly flowed down from the big forehead. The sound stopped abruptly, his eyes full of astonishment, and he felt unbelievable about his encounter!
Deputy Captain Yan, who was guarding the car, opened the car door and sat sideways smoking. Seeing the crowd walking out of the village, he asked with a smile.
"Old Scar, take people to withdraw the roadblocks on the bridge, everyone go back and pack up, set off overnight tonight!"
Ma Changshou shook his head and said: "This group of people is obviously not Zhang Su's opponent. If they fire, once the people of the Survivor Alliance sell us out, we will be very ugly!"
He had heard the gunshot before, which scared him so much that he almost drove away, but seeing that there was no follow-up sound, he stabilized his mind.
"Village Chief Ma, I think we should have a good talk!"
Captain Zhang frowned and hesitated for ten or twenty seconds, and finally slowly put down the submachine gun in his hand: "Put the guns away!"
"What? So urgent? No way, there are still many vegetables that haven't been harvested!"
Xiaoshan scratched his head, thought about it with a frown, and suddenly pointed to Ma Changshou and said: "I remember, the Village Chief has that Zhang..."
A man with dark skin asked in a muffled voice.
Captain Zhang secretly remembered, and then said: "Regarding the news of their camp, do you really know nothing at all?"
Deputy Captain Yan didn't expect to really hear some specific news, and he didn't yin and yang anymore, jumped off the car and started helping to work.
"They have more than twenty people in total, each with rifle armament. When they passed by us, they drove two RVs, and a Toyota big off-road vehicle. Later, they took a van and two three-wheeled motorcycles from us. By the way, their leader has the same surname as you..."
"Chih..." Ma Changshou smiled helplessly: "My Xidaying Village is weak, weapons are backward, their firearms are advanced, what do I use to fight them? It's already very difficult for them to be willing to trade with me. Some trivial matters, change to you, will you care?"
Captain Zhang heard Deputy Captain Yan's obviously teasing tone, frowned slightly, and said: "Continue north, there are clues past Beidong Town! Everyone move, put the grain in the car, set off!"
Click, click, click.
"Really don't know!" Ma Changshou shook his head, then suddenly realized: "But I can be sure that their camp is further north of Beidong Town!"
"Further north of Beidong Town, okay, that's it, load the grain, we set off!"
Captain Zhang frowned, dissatisfied with the news provided by Xiaoshan.
In an instant, the air solidified, swords were drawn, and there was not a single sound!
Xiaoshan lay on his back, making the only sound, stirring up a piece of dust, just like his unwilling soul flying to the spirit world.
Ma Changshou, who was slick in front of outsiders, showed rare ferocity. Being able to rule a village in the apocalypse, how could he be a charitable person.
"If anyone doesn't want to leave, then stay!"
He knew very well that when Xiaoshan was about to poke out the matter of the walkie-talkie, there were two endings: one was to resist to the death and not hand over the walkie-talkie, and the other was to hand over the walkie-talkie and wait for Zhang Su to deal with the Survivor Alliance before coming to find trouble...
Captain Zhang didn't forget the hundreds of catties of grain promised by Ma Changshou. This batch of supplies was very critical for them and could be exchanged for many points back to the alliance.
Ma Changshou sighed: "I said I don't know where they are, do you believe it?"
Captain Zhang scanned the surroundings, and a chill rose from his back. He believed that if he fired at this time, even if he killed everyone present, they would be beaten to death by those people on the wall!
Kill one thousand enemies, lose one thousand...
Xiaoshan racked his brains to think, suddenly raised his finger and said: "I remember, some time ago the Village Chief also gave Uncle Zhang some pigs and sheep, and a welding machine!"
Ma Changshou frowned and glared at the person who spoke, and then said: "I don't want to participate in any dispute, I only hope that everyone can live safely in this dog-day apocalypse. I hope you don't blame me for killing Xiaoshan. If he doesn't die, Xidaying Village will definitely have a bloody storm!"
Captain Zhang said in a deep voice.
Ma Changshou waved his hand and walked toward the village.
The villagers looked at each other, and after rubbing for two minutes, they were busy one after another.
