We Kill You All

"Biao, I advise you not to waste your effort."Li Jiawei leaned back lazily in his chair and said,"When Gao Qiqiang was still alive, didn't he try to unite us to attack Su Chen?""And what happened?""That untrustworthy bastard actually teamed up with Su Chen and wiped out Gao Qiqiang!"

As soon as he said this, all eyes snapped toward Gao Xiangjun.Gao's face instantly darkened like thunder.

"Li Jiawei, shut your damn mouth!"Abao shot him a glare and said sternly,"It's been a long time. I bet everyone's supplies are nearly gone by now, right?""If this keeps up, we're all gonna starve to death!"

Though no one spoke, their expressions betrayed their thoughts.Even Xia Bowen, who had the most stockpiles, wouldn't last long.

"If everyone wants to survive, we have to put aside old grudges, unite, and take down Su Chen!"Abao's sharp eyes swept across the room before settling on Gao Xiangjun."Old Gao, to redeem yourself, your men will lead the attack on Su Chen. Any objections?"

"I... I have no objections!"Gao knew full well that after Gao Qiqiang's death, other survivors looked at him with suspicion and hostility.If not for Su Chen, his team might have been the first to be cut down.Under such pressure, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

"Any other opinions?"Abao glanced at the other leaders.

They exchanged looks and all shook their heads.Though none liked Gao, it made perfect sense for him to lead the charge against Su Chen.

"Then it's settled. We're hitting the Yuelton Hotel this time.""If anyone dares to betray us, take them out immediately. Got it?"Abao's expression darkened, his tone full of deadly intent.

"Got it!"The leaders responded instinctively.

"Good. Everyone get ready. At first light tomorrow, we move on Su Chen!"Abao waved his hand to dismiss them.

...

"Boss Su, there's trouble!"Su Chen was roused from sleep by the crackling voice over the walkie-talkie.

He yawned, glanced outside at the dim dawn light, and slowly got up, picking up the device.Thanks to the vehicle's climate control, though he wore nothing, his fit body felt no chill.

"What's going on, Zhou Xinhong?"Su Chen asked in a low voice.

"There's suddenly a crowd gathering outside the hotel."There was tension in Zhou's voice.

"Understood. I'm heading out."Su Chen glanced at the peacefully sleeping Ermei, but didn't disturb her.He quickly dressed in his cold-weather gear, grabbed his three guns — the short-range spray, QBZ, and QBU — and left the RV.

Zhou Xinhong naturally alerted He Wang and Sun Yuan about the emergency outside.Su Chen met with them in the conference room, then immediately went to the hotel rooftop.

The blizzard had long since stopped, but thick snow had piled up, burying even the second floor of the hotel.Thanks to Phoenix Mountain's location, the snow was manageable here.In some inland areas, snow piled as high as seven or eight stories!

Using his high-powered binoculars, Su Chen clearly saw numerous survivors gathering at the hotel's entrance.More kept arriving like ants from every direction.

Soon, the entrance was packed with a dense crowd of people.

"This is bad!"He Wang's face tightened with worry.

There's no way all these survivors gathered for no reason.Just as Su Chen said yesterday, they're probably here to loot our supplies.

"Brother Sun, go down and lead the men. Be on guard for their attack."Su Chen ordered.

"Got it!"Sun Yuan didn't hesitate and hurried downstairs.

The rest of the hotel's survivors received the warning and braced themselves for defense.

Outside, Abao's face lit up with a satisfied grin!Before the apocalypse, he was a high-level executive at Mingyuan Group, a man with a successful career.But now? He was just a dog for Zhang Mingyuan.

Yet after the apocalypse, he commanded hundreds of people — what a surge of pride!

"Move out!"Abao waved his hand and shouted.

All eyes locked on Gao Xiangjun.Reluctantly, Gao nodded to his men.

His hundred-odd survivors trudged toward Yuelton Hotel, unwilling but resigned.

Not even a few steps in, a sharp "bang!" echoed.A bullet hit just ahead of the lead survivor, sending up a spray of snowflakes.

That shot turned everyone present into scared rabbits!They scattered, seeking cover behind buildings to dodge the sniper fire from the hotel.

"Idiots! Fucking useless idiots!"Abao, watching from behind, was fuming mad.

"Calm down, Biao. Let's try talking to Su Chen first before we start shooting!"Xiao Mei quickly soothed him.

Abao grabbed the walkie-talkie that Gao Xiangjun held — the one Su Chen had sent before — and spoke coldly,"Su Chen! This is Abao. Respond immediately!"

Su Chen was slightly taken aback but quickly understood.Looks like after Gao Qiqiang's death, this punk Abao had taken over.

"Didn't expect you to still be alive, Biao! Seems like good men don't live long, and troublemakers haunt a thousand years!"Su Chen's tone dripped with sarcasm.

"Cut the crap!"Abao didn't get angry but sneered,"Our supplies are almost gone. You only have two options."

"One, hand over half your supplies now, and we live in peace.""Two, we storm your hotel, kill you, and take everything.""Your choice."

Su Chen chuckled,"Maybe there's a third option: you don't hand over supplies, and I kill you all."

"Alright then, let's see if you've got what it takes!"Abao's face twisted into a fierce snarl.

He ended the call and shouted to the gathered survivors,"Brothers, our food's almost gone. Soon, we'll all starve!""Better to fight Su Chen than die of hunger!""If we kill him, we survive!""The game's still on — we're all beasts to the end!"

"Charge!"

Fueled by Abao's fiery words, the once fearful survivors now had a fierce gleam in their eyes.
