Chapter 291: Ruthless and Few Words

"Of course I want to persuade you... I hope you can let my sister go, I hope you can talk calmly, can you stop fighting and killing at every turn? We are all human beings with thoughts, can we talk properly?"

Su Lei had a blush on her face blown by the cold wind. Naturally, there was no chance to put on makeup after the end times, but her features were indeed a bit attractive. The earnest attitude made people unconsciously carry a trace of obedience.

"Boss, you say... what will Boss Zhang do? The situation is a bit subtle now."

Someone in Daciaobao Township whispered to Meng Changwei, with gossip and tension on his face.

Gossip goes without saying. Encountering such a situation with an ex-girlfriend, even before the disaster, would be very interesting, let alone in the end times where entertainment is scarce. Tension is because if Zhang Su chooses to talk properly with the other party, their position will appear even more awkward.

Meng Changwei could naturally think of these. As a leader, he had no intention of watching the fun, more considering the issue of interests. He had a solemn expression on his face, didn't answer his companion's words, just narrowed his eyes, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

The Daciaobao people who didn't understand Zhang Su were nervous, but the Tianmayu companions who understood Zhang Su were equally nervous, because they knew that Zhang Su would definitely not compromise, especially in the face of a shameless guy like Lei Youliang!

"Su Lei, before you say these things to me, you should understand the actual situation!"

Zhang Su took off his gloves, touched a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said: "I have already talked to you properly. Many people around you can testify to this. Not only did I talk, but I also gave the premise of cooperation between the two sides. How did you answer me?"

Lei Youliang is not a fool either. After thinking about the metaphor in the words, a flash of anger appeared on his face, but soon replaced it with a sneer.

Zhang Su didn't get angry, let alone roar. While speaking, he quietly put his hands behind his back, looking like he was carrying his hands and calm, but in fact, only the people of Tianmayu could see that he was holding two grenades, his thumbs buckled against the insurance pull ring on the other hand!

"We and the brothers of Daciaobao Township are risking our lives here, no, Daciaobao Township really died three brothers, only then did we deal with the zombies in the barracks. You came here smelling the smell?"

Lei Youliang didn't take it for granted when he heard Zhang Su's words, spread his arms and said: "That's right, this is my answer. The firepower configuration we have now is far stronger than yours. You still use the previous attitude to negotiate, I'm afraid it's unrealistic!"

But there is one exception, that is Su Lei. She saw a girl putting a hat on Zhang Su. Although the two were separated by about twenty meters, out of a woman's sensitivity, she could see at a glance that the girl and Zhang Su were not simple.

Zheng Xinyu naturally noticed Su Lei long ago. She took a hat from her arms and put it on Zhang Su's head, while silently looking at Su Lei, her eyes calm, without hatred, but with a trace of pity.

Most of the people in Kuanzhuang focused their attention on Daciaobao Township. Even if they saw the people in Tianmayu wearing hats, they didn't think there was anything wrong. In their view, the attitude of Daciaobao Township at this moment is crucial.

The people on Meng Changwei's side nodded silently, knowing the specific location of Zhang Su's camp.

??

Most of the people at the scene were stunned. What does this mean?

Meng Changwei's one eye rolled around, lowered his voice and said: "Wu Zetian became a widow, so there is no Li Zhi (reason) left..."

Although there was no exchange of fire, it was no different from tearing his face with Tianmayu at this moment. Lei Youliang no longer cared about the face between him and Tianmayu, and publicly began to pull helpers. As for the hostage Su Xiaoya, he was prepared to sacrifice before taking this step.

Gulp.

Without giving Zhang Su a chance to speak, Lei Youliang looked directly at the group of people in Daciaobao Township, with a calm smile on his face, and said: "We came from Kuanzhuang, my name is Lei Youliang. I heard that you are survivors of Daciaobao Township. Are you interested in participating in the grand event? The weapons in this warehouse are very abundant, and we can't use them all. Why don't you join us and divide Tianmayu!"

Su Lei obviously realized this too, and looked at Lei Youliang with questioning eyes, as if to say, you are doing this, what about my sister?

"Boss Meng, he is asking you."

"Mr. Zhang, I think Su Lei is right. You are indeed too arrogant, even making me feel a bit rampant! The only trump card you have is Su Xiaoya, but I am different. I have many weapons, enough weapons to flatten Tianmayu!"

The people of Tianmayu swallowed secretly, and some people who didn't wear hats reached out and pulled an ugly fisherman hat from their pockets and put it on their heads.

"Do you think there is no rule of law in the end times, so you can be lawless and not follow the rules? Lei Youliang, I thought you were quite smart before, but now I have to say one thing, you are really Wu Zetian becoming a widow!"

Zhang Su shook his head with a cold face: "No matter how many weapons are in the warehouse, it has nothing to do with you. I already booked the things here when I killed the Azure Dragon Corps grain collection team!"

"Tianmayu..."

"Friends over here!"

"Cough cough..." Meng Changwei coughed. He guessed that he would become a target of solicitation, and he had already planned before this: "People in Daciaobao Township will not fall into the trap." 【29

A very calm sentence, yet it had already decided the direction of this farce!

Lei Youliang's expression turned gloomy in an instant; he had not expected the other party to actually refuse the invitation, as it went against common sense.

However, even more counterintuitive things were currently happening.

Just as everyone in Kuanzhuang was staring in a daze at the people from Dachiabao Township, two pitch-black hand grenades descended from the sky.

Taking advantage of the moment Meng Changwei was speaking, Zhang Su used force with both hands to pull the safety pin...

What is tacit understanding? Tacit understanding means no need for secret codes, no need for speech, and even eye contact is spared; only a single action is needed, and those around you know what to do!

As the grenades flew through the air, the people from Tianmayu beside Zhang Su raised their rifles—which had long since had their safeties disengaged—without hesitation and launched an all-out attack on the arrogant Kuanzhuang group standing at the warehouse entrance!

The force of a thunderbolt, with absolutely no warning; one moment it was as calm as a windless pool, the next it was the violent fury of a thunderclap.

Originally, Lu Yu had wanted to ask whether they should leave a live captive for the former sister-in-law, but then he thought, guns can be aimed, but grenades cannot; since it was an indiscriminate attack, what was there to ask?

Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat.

Boom, boom-rumble.

Gunfire mingled with the explosions of grenades; the situation changed abruptly in an instant. The Kuanzhuang group, who had been full of confidence just seconds ago, were littered with corpses after only a single exchange of fire. Most of them didn't even have a chance to fight back before they met their end on the spot.

Su Lei, who had previously stepped out to persuade Zhang Su, could not escape her fate in the crossfire. When the grenades exploded, she stared with wide, disbelieving eyes and collapsed into a pool of blood. Even in death, she would never have imagined what kind of ruthless person Kuanzhuang had provoked.

At the moment of death, the only thought in her heart was: Lei Youliang lied to me!

Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat.

Of course, there were those with quick reactions who returned fire, but unfortunately, compared to the thunderous momentum of Tianmayu, it was simply like fireflies vying for brilliance with the bright moon!

No matter how excellent the equipment, being a beat slow is always a beat slow.

"Ouch!"

"Holy sh*t..."

During the fierce battle, bullets struck the people of Tianmayu. Three people were hit and fell to the ground one after another, but they simply rolled on the ground and immediately scrambled back up. Even if they weren't completely unscathed, they were only grimacing in pain—far from losing their lives!

The most serious case was Jia Shiqin; he was quite unlucky, taking a bullet to the thigh. Fortunately, it was the outer side of the thigh; the bone might have been injured, but the main artery was saved. He could only hop on one foot to hide behind a vehicle, his hat brim pulled extremely low, terrified that if he took another hit, he would be done for completely!

"Get down!" Zhang Su suddenly roared.

Whoosh, bang!

At the critical moment, a trail of fire shot out from a rocket launcher, the powerful heat wave surging through the air, flying at high speed just above the ground.

After hearing Zhang Su's shout, Zheng Xin, who had dropped to the ground at top speed, felt a wave of heat pass over her head. She was so scared she nearly lost control of her bladder on the spot, and cold sweat instantly soaked her clothes.

Fortunately, the people of Tianmayu had formed a conditioned reflex to Zhang Su's commands; they executed them with nerve-reflex speed upon hearing them, otherwise, the current situation would have been extremely tragic!

Boom!

The grenade flew past and struck a relatively well-preserved section of the perimeter wall in the distance, erupting in a ball of fire, with debris flying and smoke filling the air.

Rat-tat-tat.

Zhang Su had no time to appreciate the art of the explosion. Lying on the ground, he didn't have time to stand up; he fired a few shots from under the vehicle at the small-footed guy opposite. Once the man fell to the ground, he sent a few more bullets directly to finish him off completely!

The exchange of fire was very brief; this was not a performance match of martial arts in a ring where you had to fight for a certain amount of time...

It lasted no more than a minute or so. When the smoke cleared, almost everyone on the Tianmayu side was lying on the ground. A few people were clutching their chests and abdomens with pained expressions, and Jia Shiqin was leaning against the back of a van, looking at the collapsed wall with terror on his face.

Xin Qi and two others, holding crowbars, steel rebar, and other weapons, stood to the side, trembling with fear. The terror of that night flooded their hearts once again; it was just like this—without any warning, it had erupted!

As for the Kuanzhuang group opposite, they were all dead, not a single one spared. More than a dozen corpses lay helter-skelter at the warehouse entrance, blood mixed with dust, the smell of gunpowder mingled with the stench of blood.

From having victory in their grasp and being arrogant to being wiped out, it took only a fleeting moment. Lei Youliang fell stiffly to the ground, his decent leather jacket already blown to shreds, with only half of it hanging on his body, his eyes filled with unwillingness and clarity.

Even in death, he remained unreconciled. He was unreconciled as to why, despite bringing Zhang Su's ex-girlfriend, it hadn't acted as a deterrent; he was unreconciled as to why the people around him were so pathetic. At the same time, he realized a truth: equipment is certainly important, but people are even more important!
