Chapter 275: Are You Doubting Our Strength?

"Hehe, cooperation... No need to go into the village to talk, it's very good here!"

Zhang Su directly refused Lei Youliang's invitation. A strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. On the surface, they were stronger than the Kuanzhuang crowd, but no matter what, it was better to be careful.

"Mr. Zhang is really cautious, worthy of our learning."

Lei Youliang's gaze swept across the ten or so people from Tianmayu opposite, meaningful, as if saying, how can you guys be so timid with so many people?

Zhang Su didn't care at all what the other party wanted to express, and said lightly: "Village Chief Lei is still more powerful, not only using spies to probe the reality, but also playing framing."

"Hehe... isn't this because it didn't escape your magic eyes?" Lei Youliang didn't feel embarrassed at all. In this world, it's normal to use any method for survival.

"Since your matter has been exposed, it's time to talk about how to compensate!"

Zhang Su entered the topic very simply.

Lei Youliang didn't be vague either, nodded and said: "Should be, you say."

"A living little girl, exchange for 1,000 catties of rice, 1,000 catties of flour, and another 500 catties of various meat, vegetables, and instant food."

Su Xiaoya looked up at Zhang Su's fingers, her little face collapsed severely. She didn't expect that one day she would be reduced to being exchanged with grain.

"Uncle Huo, don't worry... Since Xiaoya said so, it must be right! In my opinion, it should be one car driving with lights on to cover, and other vehicles following behind, right?"

The Kuanzhuang crowd felt bored in their hearts, but this matter was their fault, and their own people were in the other party's hands. If they didn't want to fall out with Tianmayu, they could only pinch their noses and admit it. Fortunately, grain was not too big a problem for them.

"Hmm... we have been watching the highway, occasionally there are sporadic vehicles passing by, only more than an hour ago, a convoy of seven or eight cars passed by at high speed, heading south, unknown destination. Could it be the Azure Dragon Legion's convoy?"

"Fine, just follow the number you said."

"Uncle Lei, that... the Azure Dragon Legion went to Tianmayu first, around 3 o'clock this morning..."

"Who is the person on guard? Your eyeballs can be thrown away!" Zhang Su curled his lips and pinched Su Xiaoya'

"What?"

"The food hasn't even arrived yet, what's the rush? There's one more thing I need to tell you! Today is the day the Azure Dragon Legion collects grain. Don't you find it strange that you haven't seen anyone from the legion come by?"

Lei Youliang shook his head with a smile, then continued: "Can we let Xiao Ya go back first? The little girl's sister has been waiting for her and has nagged me about it several times."

"Xiao Ya, you shouldn't talk nonsense. Did this man threaten you into saying that?"

Zhang Su gestured with his fingers as he spoke.

The Azure Dragon Legion went south to Tianma Island first, and now the leader of Tianma Island has brought people to Kuanzhuang. This matter is certainly intriguing!

"That's not right. The surveillance post only saw one vehicle pass by early this morning. There's no way the Azure Dragon Legion would only send one vehicle to collect grain, right?"

Zhang Su didn't explain; he tilted his head toward Su Xiaoya, waiting for her to tell it.

Zhang Su frowned slightly, secretly thinking that Su Xiaoya had a sister. Without other relatives, such a pair would have a very hard time in the apocalypse and would be targets for bullying, but that wasn't his concern. He waved his hand and said.

Before Su Xiaoya could explain in detail, this piece of news alone shocked the people of Kuanzhuang deeply.

Throughout the entire battle, Su Xiaoya had the most vivid memory of Zero-Zero-Three, and of course, most people did too.

Lei Youliang asked Zhang Su.

A rugged man frowned and said, his face showing great excitement.

Seeing Zhang Su's gesture, Su Xiaoya hurriedly continued: "It wasn't just one vehicle, there were many. I saw at least seven or eight. There were so many people, everyone had guns, and they even brought a big monster, a really fat big zombie. It split a person in two with one slash, it was terrifying!"

The man Lei Youliang called Uncle Huo frowned incessantly, feeling that Su Xiaoya's words were too outrageous.

Zhang Su curled his lip, too lazy to even speak. He looked into the distance, further observing Kuanzhuang's fortifications to see if there was anything worth learning from.

Su Xiaoya shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, this is all what I saw with my own eyes. The brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts from Tianma Island are really amazing. First, they pretended to give in to make the Azure Dragon Legion lower their guard, and then suddenly 'boom,' the vehicles exploded—three vehicles in a row! Then both sides started fighting, and in no time at all, the people from the Azure Dragon Legion were all dead."

The thrilling battle process sounded a bit dull coming from Su Xiaoya, but that didn't stop the people of Kuanzhuang from being shocked by the event!

Zhang Su did not stop Su Xiaoya from recounting the battle; Lei Youliang would find out about these things sooner or later anyway.

"All dead?"

Lei Youliang looked at Zhang Su with a look of astonishment once again, his heart filled with disbelief. The Azure Dragon Legion went to Tianma Island and didn't come to Kuanzhuang; in fact, many things could already be guessed, but to say that Tianma Island wiped out the Azure Dragon Legion's grain collection team was simply too inconceivable!

"Are you doubting the strength of our Tianma Island?"

Zhang Su looked at Lei Youliang indifferently. He found this guy somewhat unpleasant; he seemed refined on the surface, but deep down he had a cocky air, was deep-thinking, and full of schemes. Unless he could be used for his own purposes, he had to be dealt with cleanly!

"No, no, that's not what I meant, Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand..."

Seeing the cold, piercing gazes from the opposite side, and noting that even the female members holding guns weren't just for show, Lei Youliang knew this group was definitely not simple.

He had seen the people from the Azure Dragon Legion, and compared to the people from Tianma Island, that so-called legion was somewhat overrated.

"Enough talk, Village Chief Lei, let's settle the payment first!"

Zhang Su reached out his hand, looking like he was demanding money.

"What payment?"

Lei Youliang looked confused, then looked at Su Xiaoya: "Wasn't the grain for the ransom already negotiated?"

"No, no, no, she is only one part of it!"

Zhang Su shook his head, pointed to the people beside him, and said: "My brothers fought the Azure Dragon Legion to the death, some died, some were injured, and we used up a lot of our ammunition reserves. Doesn't Kuanzhuang intend to compensate us? Are you just going to sit there with such peace of mind?"

"You..."

"Uncle Huo, don't be impatient!" Lei Youliang raised his hand to stop the person beside him, then said to Zhang Su: "Mr. Zhang makes a valid point. If you hadn't blocked the Azure Dragon Legion, Kuanzhuang would have suffered certain losses regardless. Tell me, how should this be calculated?"

As the leader of a survivor camp, Lei Youliang had his own sense of judgment. If he couldn't even see through such a simple matter, he wouldn't be able to hold this position.

"I heard you found an arms warehouse?"

Zhang Su asked straightforwardly.

Lei Youliang frowned, looked at Su Xiaoya with a bit of helplessness, and then said: "Since Xiao Ya told you, I won't hide it. That is indeed the case."

"No, no, Uncle Lei, I didn't say..." Su Xiaoya waved her hands repeatedly to explain: "I only said you had some weapons..."

"It's fine, it's all the same."

Lei Youliang didn't blame Su Xiaoya; it was already very difficult for her to be a spy, so he couldn't have too high expectations.

"I won't beat around the bush. I want twenty of the rifles you are currently using, each with four magazines, ten thousand rounds of ammunition, and I also want five anti-tank rocket launchers and one hundred grenades."

Zhang Su stated the amount he had already thought of.

The people of Kuanzhuang frowned upon hearing Zhang Su's words, and Lei Youliang also looked troubled, saying: "The guns and bullets are easy... but one hundred grenades, we only have a total inventory of forty-something!"

"So few?"

Zhang Su looked at Lei Youliang suspiciously.

"Look at the model of the guns we are using, the Type 81s. That warehouse is very old; I suspect they were originally intended to be destroyed, but for some reason, they were left behind in the warehouse. Year after year has passed, and even though it's dry and rarely rains here, it can't withstand the erosion of time. Many are already scrapped."

Lei Youliang explained patiently.

The Type 81 was the predecessor to the Type 95. If maintained properly, it was very stable and could fire ten thousand rounds without issues. But if, as Lei Youliang said, the warehouse was very old, then the stability was hard to say.
