With a loud shout, over a hundred fully armed soldiers marched in perfect formation, swarming towards Huan Chu and the other two, surrounding them in the middle.
Attention! Disperse! With a loud shout from a young major, the formation silently split into two halves, as if being directly cleaved by a large axe, creating a passage in the middle.
Is this the strength of the army? Huan Chu looked at the whole team performing in perfect unison, his pupils contracting sharply as he immediately understood why Lu Hao had unconditional trust in the military.
If it weren't for the zombie outbreak that spread so quickly, causing massive chaos even within the military, the current republic would probably still be under the control of a huge national machinery.
Less than a hundred people, yet they give the impression of a mighty flood!
As the soldiers in military uniforms with guns retreated in front of the team, a man with the rank of major general led a few guards to step forward and came to the front of Huan Chu and others.
He looks to be no more than thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance that makes him the kind of person who would easily blend into a crowd and go unnoticed. But what caught Huan Chu's attention first were his eyes.
Slim, spirited, but always makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how you look at it. Huan Chu searched his mind but could not find words to describe those eyes.
The appearance of a wolf looking back!
When the major general turned back and gestured, Huan Chu suddenly understood why he always gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
With those slender eyes, long neck, and hooked nose, he clearly resembles Sima Yi from the Three Kingdoms.
The general naturally did not know that he had been defined as a cunning and treacherous character by Huan Chu as soon as he appeared. His gaze swept over the surrounded crowd, and his tone was cold and unpleasant: "He Jin, Gu Chengyi, what do you want to do here? "
He Jin showed no fear at all and said, "Commander Tang, if you have time to worry about these trivial matters, why not take your personal guards to inspect the defense of the base?" "
Gu Chengyi also did not look at the young general surnamed Tang directly, and calmly said, "Commander Tang, I would like to tell you." Next time, if you use our brothers as cannon fodder again, don't blame me, Gu Chengyi, for turning my back on you! "
Huan Chu narrowed his eyes, he really didn't expect the military's control over the base to have weakened to such an extent.
Two ordinary people who can only be considered as leaders of the militia at best, dare to openly confront a major general of the regular army.
It is indeed as someone once said: "The bleak autumn wind is here again, but the world has changed." "
However, this kind of thing has probably happened more than once or twice. Looking at General Tang's unchanged expression, it is clear that he is already accustomed to it.
Although both of them argued their points, he did not get angry: "This is the border, and it wouldn't look good for anyone if something happened. Let's disperse the crowd quickly." Any issues or conflicts should be resolved privately among yourselves. "
The literal meaning of his words may sound conciliatory, but his tone remains as cold as the temperature today, making it uncomfortable to listen to.
It seems that General Tang's tone is not deliberately pretended, but innate.
As soon as the words fell, He Jin and Gu Chengyi both snorted and directed their men to put away their guns. Although the two of them gained some advantage in words, they ultimately did not dare to directly confront the military.
Major Tang saw the two of them collecting the team and then turned directly to Huanchu with a gentle tone, "You are a newcomer, right?" Welcome, my name is Tang Zihao, and I am the local security commander. Hope you can also make your own contribution to the construction of the human settlement in County W in the future. "
Although his tone softened a bit, there was still a chill in the air, coupled with his eerie voice, making Huan Chu feel very strange.
Kehuan Chu still has some goodwill towards the military, so he agreed with two sentences. Seeing General Tang's indifferent and official demeanor, speaking in a bureaucratic tone, Huan Chu naturally classified him as someone not suitable for deep friendship.
Oh, right! Hearing a sudden roar from He Jin, 'Commander Tang, you still haven't delivered the supplies for the last mission we discussed!' Are you asking our Wolf Pack to do the dirty work for your military? "
Tang Zihao remained silent and turned to look at the major who had just shouted.
The major immediately ran forward at Tang Zihao's signal, saluted in a standard military manner, and then turned to Captain He and said, "Captain He, your supplies are being prepared and are expected to be ready by three o'clock the day after tomorrow. Please send someone to the command post to collect them in time!" "
Gu Chengyi's eyes lit up at the words.
He Jin's expression also changed.
If I had known that this staff officer would shout it out in public, I would never have asked this question in front of everyone. He laid all the intelligence bare in front of his archenemy Gu Chengyi, this old guy was probably planning how to get back at him.
Huan Chu carefully observed the performance of everyone, while discreetly casting a glance at the upright Tang Zihao standing on the side.
Sure enough, it's a fox!
Revealing the time and location of the pick-up completely hints to all capable individuals present to take action and grab a share.
This trick of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves is really a clever calculation.
But at the same time, Huan Chu fell into deep thought.
It seems that the public security situation in this human settlement is extremely poor.
Occasional small gunfights between the two largest guerrilla groups are somewhat understandable to Huan Chu, after all, where there are two tigers on one mountain, friction and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable.
But Tang Zihao's move is clearly encouraging both sides to fight and rob.
Is this the military's plan for balance? By ensuring constant competition among the largest local powers, the military's strength is always maintained at the forefront, thus preserving its leadership position within the base.
It's really a strategy of power.
Without waiting for Huan Chu to ponder carefully, He Jin spoke up: 'If anyone dares to touch this batch of goods from me, I will take my brothers to his hometown and kill that person!'! "
"Go kill him at his hometown!" "
"Go kill him at his hometown!" "
As soon as He Jin's voice fell, a group of henchmen behind him immediately followed suit and shouted.
However, they have not received systematic training, so their shouts are sporadic and do not sound as powerful as a coordinated shout from a group of people.
Gu Chengyi squinted at He Jin and said stiffly, "I care more about the life and death of the murderer than the trash of someone." "
It looks like he is going to make a deal with the Wolf Pack.
He Jin was not a conservative person. In order to obtain the military supplies, he sacrificed nearly a dozen of his brothers to open up a road. When it comes to value, Huan Chu, this 'killer' who refuses to acknowledge his own identity, is naturally less important than goods.
So he laughed and said straightforwardly, "From today on, for the next two weeks, as long as you don't provoke me, our Wild Wolf Gang brothers will not touch a single hair of your Hunting Head Gang." "
"I guarantee that no headhunters will be involved in tomorrow's shipment." "Gu Chengyi said gloomily."
Although the two reached a general agreement, they were both on guard against each other.
As everyone knows, as the two largest local forces, the Wolf Pack and the Bounty Hunters have several affiliated small guerrilla groups under their command.
At this point, both of them were talking about being true brothers from the same hometown, not forgetting the existence of those followers, but leaving a guarantee for themselves in case of future breach of contract.
If I said not to move you, then you don't move. What does it have to do with me if someone else moves you?
After all, vassalage is just a matter of rhetoric and strength, and no one can prove which guerrilla group is a vassal of these major powers.
Although he saw the two sides reaching an agreement right in front of him, Huan Chu showed no intention of stopping them. It's not that it can't be stopped. Between the flicker of Huanchu's mind and the electricity, at least dozens of ways to disrupt their agreement flashed through his mind.
He simply didn't want to stop the agreement from being reached.
From the very beginning, he wanted to cripple the headhunters, scare them, and make the entire W County afraid to provoke him, the "Gun Sword" Huan Chu.
With such intentions in mind, he naturally prefers to see the agreement reached. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to test the strength of his team.
Although it may seem that the scale of the headhunting group is much stronger at this time, don't forget that W County is Huan Chu's home turf.
Even though she had been away for several years, in terms of connections and familiarity, Gu Chengyi, the outsider wearing the local attire, was incomparable.
At this point, the gatekeeper centurion had already reported to Tang Zihao about the situation here, and upon hearing the conversation between He Jin and Gu Chengyi, he couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Huan Chu.
Huan Chu, on the other hand, was completely unconcerned. In his view, the advantage of location and people were all in his hands, and victory was almost within reach without much consideration. The only thing to consider is the issue of casualties in the team.
As the commander of the garrison in County W, Tang Zihao naturally would not allow the four groups of people and horses to continue gathering at the border in a standoff. He scanned the three individuals with his eyes and said, 'Alright, now that everything has been discussed and the conditions have been agreed upon, why are you still staying here?' "
He Jin laughed and waved his hand, leading the members of the Wild Wolf team onto the car, saying, "I'm just passing by, you guys continue, you guys continue." "
As soon as the words fell, the convoy left in a cloud of dust, raising a lot of yellow sand.
Gu Chengyi was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Zihao: "Hand over the person who fired the gun just now." "
Gu Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then remembered the agreement between the guerrilla group and the military when it was first established. He gritted his teeth, ordered everyone to leave the dwarf behind, and left with his people without looking back.
The short man was now surrounded by the fierce army, feeling truly frightened and terrified. The gun in his hand had been taken away by his former brothers, so he could only huddle in the crowd and dare not move.
The lieutenant stepped forward and knocked him down with the butt of his gun. The short man cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, "Please spare me, sir, please spare me!" I am guilty, I am guilty, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again in the future. "
Tang Zihao completely ignored him and made a shooting gesture.
The lieutenant behind him received the order, pulled the trigger, raised his hand, and fired a shot.
Bang! "
Brain matter splattered everywhere, the dwarf, who had been begging for mercy, collapsed to the ground.
Tang Zihao waved his hand, and immediately two soldiers came forward to drag the body away.
Why are you still here? What are you looking at? "
