Chapter 563: What a naive idea (is this asking for subscriptions??)

"You... fine, everyone has their own aspirations. I hope your future lives are wonderful!"

Zhang Su thought someone would defect, but he didn't expect there would be three. He turned sideways and bowed, not staying any longer, and walked away. This place was not suitable for staying long. In the rush, they didn't even go to pick up the weapons dropped on the ground.

"Stop right there!"

"Don't you go!"

Two shouts, one from Zhang Su's mouth, the other from Meng Changwei.

*Pfft pfft pfft. *

The sound of feet stepping on rotten grass rang out. There was no need for Zhang Su to waste his breath. More than thirty combat personnel swarmed up and blocked the nine people who intended to leave on the spot.

"What are you doing? This isn't following Jianghu morality!"

"We don't have any supplies. What's the use of keeping us?"

"Boss Zhang, we don't want to join Tianmayu. Is that not allowed? You guys are too overbearing!"

The nine people of the Flying Wolf Gang gathered together back-to-back, looking at the crowd vigilantly. Unfortunately, they didn't even have weapons in their hands, which made them look a bit tragic.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became a bit scorched.

Zhang Su looked at Meng Changwei with a strange expression, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into the other's mouth, lit it with a *snap*, and asked: "Boss Meng, I called them to stop to remind them that the weapons on the ground weren't taken. Why did you tell them not to go?"

This was naturally a lie. Zhang Su didn't let the Flying Wolf Gang leave because he felt the abnormal emotions of those people, and he believed that if there was a hidden story, Meng Changwei must know a thing or two. Since the other side expressed their stance, he would give them a chance.

Meng Changwei bit the cigarette and took a deep breath, sighed and said: "Boss Zhang, to be honest, I'm very happy to see you, because this bunch of guys made rumors before, saying... saying you died!"

???

"Ha?"

Zhang Su couldn't laugh or cry. He aimed at the nine people of the Flying Wolf Gang, but found that except for Zhang Su, the eyes of the other guys who could see their faces were flickering. It seemed Meng Changwei's news wasn't fake. As for why Zhang Su was calm, nothing else, purely because his psychological quality was good! "Saying I died? Don't you know? They all call me the King of Hell. I'm alive again. Unexpected, right?"

Zhang Su felt it was very funny and couldn't help but tease the Flying Wolf Gang people, then looked at Meng Changwei: "After I died, they should have had a follow-up plan, right?"

"Of course they did!"

This time, the one speaking wasn't Meng Changwei, but Xie Guangfa, who was standing on the other side and hadn't been tied up yet.

"Old cripple, you'd better not have forgotten the oath you made back then!"

Zhang Su rolled his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky, saying in a voice that wasn't too loud or too quiet.

Meng Changwei spoke, and Zhang Su wasn't nervous, because he knew limited information. Even if he poked everything out, Zhang Su could round it back. But Xie Guangfa was different; he knew all the details! "Hehe!" Xie Guangfa sneered, his hoarse throat opened: "How could I forget? Those who betray the gang will be struck by lightning. Today is a good time for lightning. If it could take me, I wouldn't care! But the good things you planned, I must say!"

Following that, Xie Guangfa laid out the things Zhang Su and the others had plotted, while receiving the nodding agreement of Ning Jianshe and Qian Guangwei beside him.

How to fabricate lies, how to deceive Daciaobao Township, how to launch actions, how to carry out the finishing work...

Xie Guangfa spoke slowly here, while Zhang Su and the others stood in the encirclement without saying a word, neither confirming nor denying, their attitude ambiguous.

The expressions on the faces of the Yama Legion people around were strange. They felt speechless about the Flying Wolf Gang's plan. They were truly ignorant and fearless, thinking that with a few people and a few guns, they could take down Tianmayu.

It was too naive!

Not to mention anything else, just the tank and 003 were enough to make these people die without a burial place. Tianmayu, which didn't seem to have abundant combat personnel, was definitely not a soft persimmon! The ancestors' words were not fake: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. The Flying Wolf Gang's plan belonged to not knowing the enemy and not knowing yourself, which was definitely defeated in one battle! "I've said everything I should say. I guess Boss Zhang wants to ask why I betrayed the Flying Wolf Gang. Because what they want to do is unrighteous!"

"What a good 'unrighteous'."

Zhang Su listened quietly to Xie Guangfa finish, nodded, then looked at Meng Changwei, believing he must have something to say.

Sure enough, Meng Changwei spat out the cigarette butt, and while stepping on it, hurriedly said: "Boss Zhang, don't misunderstand that I was going to go up the mountain with Zhang Su to make trouble. Our plan..."

"Hahaha, Old Meng, do you think it makes sense for you to argue now? We've already worn the same pair of pants. If I shit, you'll also get a butt full of it. You can't wash it clean!"

Zhang Su clenched his fists. He had no weapons in his hands. Facing combat personnel with guns and knives, he couldn't raise the will to resist at all. Xie Guangfa's exposure caught him off guard, but he couldn't let the people of Daciaobao Township get away unscathed.

The idea of 'the law doesn't punish the masses' sprouted in his heart. If he could pull in the twenty or thirty people from Daciaobao Township, perhaps there would be a turning point! Meng Changwei's face fell, he glared at Zhang Su, and seeing Zhang Su ignored his dog barking, hurriedly continued: "I didn't believe the news of your distress at all, but I was skeptical about the internal conflict at Tianmayu, because the things that happened in the last two days were very weird, so..."

"Actually, my idea is very simple: go up the mountain with the Flying Wolf Gang to see. If there really is an internal conflict, then I choose to help..."

"Good!"

Zhang Su suddenly shouted, his tone particularly high, which startled many people at the scene, and Meng Changwei's words came to an abrupt end.

"Good, don't say who you're helping yet. I ask you, do your brothers know who you're helping? If you say it out, you're all finished!"

The opportunity to verify Meng Changwei's thoughts had come. Zhang Su wouldn't let it go easily. He looked favorably on the people of Daciaobao Township mainly because he looked favorably on Meng Changwei, the leader. If he had changed from before, then everything needed to be re-examined.

Yu Wen stood in the crowd, his eyelids jumping. He knew very well that whether these people lived or died would be revealed immediately.

He prayed in his heart that nothing would happen. He also looked favorably on the people Meng Changwei brought out. They were more honest and orderly than the subordinates of Liu Yao and Yang Xinci, but not as rigid as those in the barracks, and their abilities weren't weak. In short, this group of survivors was quite good. If they joined Tianmayu steadily, they could be used.

Meng Changwei was, after all, the boss of a force, and his mind was active. He immediately understood Zhang Su's intention, nodded vigorously, and simply stopped talking, so as not to accidentally leak something and harm his brothers.

He didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Zhang Su's behavior. The scale was different, but the two people were in the same position. He knew very well how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, and he also knew how cautious he needed to be when accepting survivors.

On the contrary, he was very glad that Zhang Su acted clearly and impartially, at least not convicting them because of superficial phenomena! "Come! Starting from you, come over..."

Immediately, Zhang Su beckoned to the people behind Meng Changwei. Since they had already arrived at the foot of their own mountain, he wasn't in a hurry to go back and planned to interrogate them one by one.

The interrogation process wasn't complicated, just a sentence's worth of effort. Soon, Zhang Su finished asking the people from Daciaobao Township. The answers were very uniform: Boss Meng intended to help Boss Zhong.

A round of interrogation ended, and finally it was Meng Changwei's turn. His answer was equally crisp: "I didn't see any of the familiar faces I had seen from the Green Dragon Legion back then, so I really thought something had happened. But if I had to choose a group to stand with, I would choose the one closest to you. Legally speaking, the husband-wife relationship is the closest, so I'll help your wife!"

This answer made everyone nod secretly, unable to pick any faults, but someone pouted and made a face—that was Zheng Xinyu, who was blocking the Flying Wolf Gang. Hearing these answers, the stone in Zhang Su's heart fell. From the emotions, he could feel that Meng Changwei was very honest. He was still the same as when he met him at the Green Dragon Legion.

"I didn't expect Boss Meng to be so thoughtful, haha, it was me who was overthinking."

Zhang Su pulled out his dog-leg military knife, cut the rope tying Meng Changwei with a *swish*, and then said to the combat personnel beside him: "Come, untie the brothers from Daciaobao! Eh, don't break it, take your time, untie it slowly."

Seeing someone wanting to learn from him and use a knife to cut the rope, Zhang Su hurriedly stopped them. *Are you kidding? Ropes are so precious. Can everyone cut them handsomely with two swishes like me? *

*Shameful waste! *

After being untied, the people of Daciaobao Township breathed a long sigh of relief. Not only did they not continue to resent Zhang Su, but they were also convinced by his style of doing things and his wise decision, and their attitude turned around completely.

"Boss Zhang, I really don't like to spoil the fun, so the Flying Wolf Gang matter... I originally planned to wait, wait until things stabilized before talking about it. I didn't expect, look at this mess, it's all my fault."

Seeing things develop to this point, Meng Changwei felt very embarrassed.

Everyone saw him wearing an eye patch like a pirate, but almost no one knew that he used to be an official like Li Zongkai, and he still retained old traditions. Face had to be taken care of at any time.

"Let me tell you a secret: I was fooling you just now. Not letting them leave wasn't to remind them to take their weapons. If I had to wait for others to tell me before I discovered anything, Tianmayu would have been destroyed eight hundred times!"

Zhang Su revealed a mysterious smile, making others unable to figure it out.

Meng Changwei also pointed at Zhang Su and couldn't laugh or cry: "You, you."

"Alright, Boss Meng, take your brothers to rest on the side first, smoke a cigarette and watch the fun. We'll go up the mountain later. I'll deal with these people first!"

Zhang Su patted Meng Changwei's arm and smiled at the combat personnel of Daciaobao Township.

A relaxed and kind attitude could naturally harvest friendly responses. The haze in the hearts of the Daciaobao Township people was swept away. Even they themselves felt it was incredible—why did their emotional changes happen so quickly? It seemed that the experience of ups and downs made people grow.

Seeing the people of Daciaobao Township's mood improve, Zhang Su withdrew his inner emotions, not letting them affect more people.

The few people of the Flying Wolf Gang who were surrounded felt cold in their hearts at this moment. They had thought they could drag Daciaobao Township into the water together, but didn't expect them to be so sincere, having already decided to stand with the boss's wife. This was simply pitting against their father...

Zhang Su's throat rolled, his back felt cold. His clever brain started overclocking again, wanting to find a way to break the dead end. But since it was said to be a dead end, how could it be so easy to break?

Just when he was at his wit's end, he saw Zhang Su actually walk in front of the "traitor" Xie Guangfa.

"Your name is Xie Guangfa?"

Zhang Su asked the middle-aged man.

Xie Guangfa nodded silently.

"I see your legs seem to have some problems?"

Zhang Su's gaze stayed on Xie Guangfa's slightly awkward legs.

"Thank you for your concern, Boss Zhang. My legs are fine, heh..."

While speaking, Xie Guangfa seemed to be proving himself. He suddenly exerted force under his feet, and under the astonished gaze of the people around, he directly performed a front flip!

Zhang Su was shrouded in white mist. He sensed the abnormality the moment Xie Guangfa's muscles moved. Because he didn't feel any hostility or killing intent, he only took a step back slightly.

But others were different. Suddenly, they thought this old guy was going to take the general's head. On the spot, seven or eight guns were aimed at Xie Guangfa. But after seeing Zhang Su raise his arm to signal not to be impulsive, the tense hearts gradually relaxed.

"A practitioner?"

Zhang Su looked at Xie Guangfa with great interest. Just that move earlier, starting a front flip directly while standing still, and it wasn't that kind of flowery frame, it was truly full of strength!

As the saying goes, an expert looks at the doorway.

This set of movements had high requirements for core strength. Zhang Su secretly calculated in his heart. For the entire Yama Legion, there were probably only four or five people who could do what Xie Guangfa just did. If you count those who could barely do it, you could add two or three more.

Even if you picked from all the combat personnel around, you couldn't pick ten! In other words, the middle-aged man in his fifties in front of him was an expert, at least an expert in fighting! "Not talented, I know a little bit!"

Xie Guangfa nodded, seemingly feeling that a front flip wasn't enough to show off his prowess. As his voice trailed off, he performed a magnificent standing backflip, landing steady and firm. The low-temperature-brittled soil crust kicked up dust, and as he moved his feet away, he left a solid, deep footprint—a testament to his force!

"Damn it... what is this guy rolling around for?"

In the crowd, Lu Yubo whispered to Zhao Dezhu with extreme dissatisfaction. He hated people who could pretend to be cool more than him all his life, except for Zhang Su.

Zhao Dezhu had a strange expression, tilted his head and whispered: "The old woman sells melons, praises herself. He wants to join us, selling himself to Big Brother!"

It had to be said that the two moves Xie Guangfa showed were sharp, instantly stunning many people at the scene.

Except for the Yama Legion, the combat personnel of the other branches had almost no systematic fighting training. Their usual training direction focused on killing zombies, and their physical and strength training was relatively small, so their foundation was generally poor. Seeing the fierce limping uncle, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The words "there is heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people" floated in everyone's minds.

As for people like Wu Baokang, Wu Daqiang, and Dazhuang, who also had strong fighting abilities, as well as some members of the Yama Legion, their emotions were complicated. Reasonably speaking, having a strong player was a good thing for everyone, but this was also a kind of threat to themselves...

However, it wasn't time to worry yet, because the King of Hell hadn't accepted Xie Guangfa and the others.

Indeed, in Zhang Su's view, Xie Guangfa came from the Flying Wolf Gang no matter what, and must go through a test.

"It seems you are quite strong!"

Zhang Su nodded. Xie Guangfa's combat power had been recognized by him, but combat power alone wasn't enough. He changed the subject and pointed to the nine people of the Flying Wolf Gang surrounded by the crowd.

"Since your fist and foot skills are so powerful, then you should be the one to judge these guys!"

The people around were stunned. They thought to themselves, the King of Hell's methods are indeed sharp. In this way, if Xie Guangfa didn't agree, then it was easy to handle—deal with him together with the Flying Wolf Gang people. If he agreed, that was also good, proving that he had completely cut off his connection with the Flying Wolf Gang.

There was almost no loophole to drill through! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 564 =====
