Chapter 418: I Want to be Yama

"Yes!"

Li Zongkai replied swiftly, urging urgently: "The leader of the Survivors' Alliance is named Wu Baokang. His past experience is extremely extensive; for a time, he was active in the border regions, dealing in murder as a mercenary. You must be extremely careful with him—anything that falls into his hands can become a weapon!"

Wu Daqiang really wanted to grab the communicator and say: "President, this friend of yours is named Zhang Su, and he is no pushover. He nearly threw Wu Baokang to his death with ease!"

Zhang Su smiled and said: "Alright, Old Li, thanks for the concern. Is there anything else you need to tell Daqiang and the brothers?"

"Daqiang, you all stay put at Mr. Zhang's place. He won't make things difficult for you. If there is anything you can help with, don't spare your efforts. We are all one family, understand?"

Wu Daqiang took the communicator from Zhang Su's hand, nodded with a complex expression, and said: "Yes, President Li, we understand!"

Ending the call, Li Zongkai lost all sleepiness. He draped his clothes over his shoulders and paced back and forth in the communication room. Everything had changed, and there was a mountain of things that needed to be replanned.

Creak.

The sound of a door being pushed open rang out.

Li Zongkai was startled. He turned his head to look, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Oh, it's you, Xiao Miao..."

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties walked into the communication room, wearing a cotton hat on his head and a flashlight clipped to his chest.

"President Li, working so late? This is a hot water bottle I just filled; please, take it."

Guan Senmiao handed over an old-fashioned hot water bottle, a bit larger than a palm, which could only hold a little over a liter of water.

"Oh, thank you." Li Zongkai took the hot water bottle and warmed his hands, saying: "Is it your turn to patrol tonight?"

Guan Senmiao smiled and said: "Yes, I'm on the first half of the night."

"Mm..." Li Zongkai replied absent-mindedly.

Seeing that Li Zongkai was preoccupied, Guan Senmiao said: "President, I'll go continue my patrol. You keep busy."

"Mm, go ahead. Keep your spirits up and watch your safety."

After Li Zongkai gave his instructions, he continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts. He did not know that after Guan Senmiao opened the door and left, he left the door ajar and did not go far, just as he had done before pushing the door open to enter.

"OK! The matter is revealed. You all know my relationship with Old Li now, so just settle in peacefully once you arrive at Tianmayu!"

Zhang Su smiled and patted Wu Daqiang and Xiaotiao on the shoulders, then said to Yu Wen: "Old Yu, everyone is busy. Could I trouble you to take these brothers and find a comfortable place for them to rest? Remember to take their weapons and such; don't wait for us to pick them up and put them in storage later, or that would be a huge loss, haha!"

After making the request with a joke, Zhang Su bid everyone farewell and left, leaving the six men standing in the dining hall with strange expressions for quite a while without moving.

Leaving the restaurant, Zhang Su strode toward the Qingfeng Cottage where the prisoners were being held, but he was intercepted before he had gone very far.

"Big Brother!"

Zhao Dezhu walked up to him with a depressed look on his face, pointing toward the direction of Qingfeng Xiaozhu and saying irritably.

"Damn it, that big guy is really asking for a beating. Even after being locked up, he won't behave. He keeps blabbering on, saying he wants to see you. I asked him what for, and he wouldn't say, just that he has to talk to you. His mouth is especially foul, outputting like crazy. Even getting beaten up didn't help, so I finally had to gag him to get some quiet. What should we do?"

Zhang Su couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing Zhao Dezhu's words: "I was just about to go ask them about some things. Come on, come with me to interrogate them and see what information we can dig up!"

"Hey, that's good. Hey, Big Brother, what are we going to ask? Give me some questions, and I'll ask them one by one in a bit!"

Zhao Dezhu was very interested in the work of interrogation.

This night at Tianmayu was destined not to be quiet early. Usually, by nine o'clock, most people would already be tucked into their warm blankets, but today was different; groups of three or five gathered together to chat about the capture of the investigation team earlier. There were at least three people standing guard near the Qingfeng Xiaozhu where the prisoners were held, and a small dog was watching the direction of the cliff, surrounding it from all angles with no blind spots. Unless they grew wings, there was simply nowhere to escape! If they could fly, they might still be able to escape now, but in a few days, once Wu Lue finished modifying the firearms mounted on the drones, they would truly be unable to escape even with wings!

The two drones had excellent performance, but neither possessed attack attributes; this was an absolute short board. For this reason, Wu Lue decided to modify them himself. The cargo drones had excellent load-bearing capacity and could fully be equipped with weapons for attacks. The recoil of a rifle was too strong to be feasible, but a pistol was not difficult.

"Brother Su, Brother Zhu."

Lu Leiyang, who was guarding downstairs at Qingfeng Xiaozhu, saw Zhang Su and Zhao Dezhu walking over and greeted them.

"Make sure the shifts are arranged well tonight, sorry for the hard work."

Zhang Su patted Lu Leiyang on the shoulder.

"It's not hard work at all. On the contrary, I feel like normal days are too dull. Today is really interesting, and... Brother Su, the name 'Yama Legion' is very nice. It's manly enough, and domineering enough!"

Lu Leiyang, who lacked masculinity, liked all elements that were full of masculine flavor. It was unclear whether this was to make up for his own shortcomings or if he favored it from the perspective of another gender.

"Right, Big Brother, I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but the name 'Yama Legion' is just too damn authentic. When did you come up with it? You didn't even tell everyone beforehand; the secrecy was too well done!"

Zhao Dezhu nudged Zhang Su with his elbow, wearing a mischievous expression.

Many people had long considered giving the force a name, but seeing that Zhang Su hadn't mentioned it, everyone just discussed it occasionally.

Zhang Su rolled his eyes inwardly. *To hell with the secrecy; this is all the work of your old father-in-law! *

"Never mind the secrecy, just say whether the effect is explosive or not!"

"That's definitely explosive, haha. You are King Yama, and we are the Yama Legion. Others will be terrified when they see us, haha! I bet those guys were scared black when they heard the name at the time!"

Zhang Su recalled the scene when Yu Wen was speaking earlier. He didn't know how others saw it, but he personally felt it wasn't serious at all, and was actually quite funny.

Lu Leiyang had a flash of inspiration and suggested: "Brother Su, do you think we could have the Ten Halls of Yama in the future, just like the Vanguard Group of the Survivors' Alliance? Each Hall of Yama leads a group of brothers under them. That would be too majestic, haha."

"Hey, Xiao Lu, don't say, your brain is actually quite useful, haha. The Ten Halls of Yama is simply great. I'm reserving a spot in advance, Big Brother, you have to save one for me..."

Zhao Dezhu raised both hands in support of Lu Leiyang's suggestion.

Zhang Su looked at the two live treasures singing in harmony in front of him, pinched his temples, and shook his head: "Stop talking nonsense. The real big things haven't been solved yet. Let's go up and interrogate the prisoners first. We can study those things slowly when we have time."

After saying this, he dragged Zhao Dezhu upstairs; otherwise, looking at the way they were going, he could review the Ten Halls of Yama with Lu Leiyang all over again.

"Big Brother, I'll start from that side. That guy named Wu is too stubborn; I reckon only you can subdue him. Damn it, it would be better to beat him half-dead!"

Zhao Dezhu said this and walked toward the room where the Tianqi Group was being held.

Wu Baokang was being held in guest room 202. Zhang Su stood at the doorway and sensed for a moment, noticing that the other party was not hiding by the door. He had no way to sense through doors and walls; even a wooden door would create a huge obstacle to his sensing, unless the other party was pressed tightly against the back of the door.

This was not because his skills were not refined enough; even Ju Wuying couldn't do it. It was a limitation of this sensing ability.

But as long as he knew there was no ambush behind the door, that was enough. Zhang Su took out the key, pushed the door open to look, and seeing everything was safe, he walked in. At the same time, the white mist surrounding him spread throughout the room like tentacles.

With a *pop*, Zhang Su turned on the room light. A burly man was thrown onto the bed with his hands and feet tied, his mouth gagged with hemp rope, and saliva flowing down the rope. It was a textbook Japanese-style binding, naturally Zhao Dezhu's masterpiece.

Zhang Su couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It seemed this fish-killing guy had watched quite a few academic little movies in the past!
