Chapter 161 Rural Agro-tourism
Like the vehicle convoy's compound, this place was also enclosed by a high wall.
The survivors from Jiangbei District were clearly smart, as both Peng Yue and the settlement before them had chosen to situate themselves in the suburbs, far from the bustling areas.
There were over a dozen trucks of various sizes parked on the road outside, most of which had returned from outside that afternoon.
Before the two could get close, a lazy voice shouted from above:@@@@
"You guys, stand right there and don't move."
"Where are you coming from?"
Shadows moved on top of the wall.
The man in the lead was unclear to see.
But judging from the tone of his voice, he sounded reasonably friendly.
Tian Gou and Zhang Wei of course didn't come here alone, each had brought along a lackey for protection, now standing in front of them to guard against any danger that might appear from the front. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
Thud.
A package was suddenly thrown over from below.
Tian Gou squinted his eyes looking upward, and soon heard that person's chuckling voice again.
"Hey, a smart one here."
"Come on in."
A small door suddenly opened in the tightly closed main gate.
Someone inside was impatiently urging, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and come in!"
Zhang Wei glanced at Tian Gou, who also seemed puzzled, and then turned his curiosity toward the person inside the gate, asking, "Don't you need to check if we are carrying any dangerous items or something?"
Upon hearing this, that person snorted heavily through his nose.
"Dangerous items?"
"Come on, are you guys strapped with C4 or something?"
This remark immediately choked Zhang Wei, while Tian Gou next to him had already slapped his shoulder and took the lead to walk inside.
Saying took the lead, yet it was still their lackeys walking at the very front.
The two were just right, sandwiched in the middle.
Another one covering the rear.
As soon as they entered, they saw a man inside looking up at the direction of the wall with a face full of flattery.
Tian Gou instinctively looked back to see that a long-haired man was standing on the partition above the wall, who upon noticing them, immediately gestured with his fingers.
"Brother Gou..."
Zhang Wei was a bit wary.
His right hand had already reached for his waist.
At the same time, the two lackeys had already spread out in a fan shape at their sides, each clutching a crooked knife.
That was where Chen Xiaoyong and his followers rested.
"Found such a good spot."
He spoke and then glanced at the somewhat smug guards next to him, his tone slightly flattering as he said:
"Strong men and horses."
"Awesome."
Lu Yong naturally revelled in Tian Gou's words, tilting his chin up and drawing deeply on the cigarette before slowly exhaling the smoke.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"My brother-in-law is famously bold yet meticulous."
"When the streets plunged into chaos, he immediately took my sister and me toward the suburbs here."
"Facing those man-eating lunatics on the road, while others were shivering with fear, he just drove over them, and he managed to break us out of the city!"
Brother-in-law?
The two exchanged a glance, suddenly excited.
They had not expected to encounter someone from the leadership merely by striking up a conversation with a random guard on the wall.
But on second thought, it made sense; after all, gatekeeping is critical for every settlement.
One mistake could lead to the demise of everyone inside.
It was actually the same back at their base.
The security work at Zhang Ye's villa was also shared by several moms and Xu Lin; ordinary survivors rarely had a chance to get close.
Lu Yong was already in a good mood, and he got even more proud with the flattery from the two men.
Excited, he began to lose control of his tongue.
He spilled everything, whether it should be said or not.
"At that time, actually, there were still people alive inside this rural restaurant."
"That was the fat owner."
"He firmly refused to let us stay, even threatened to call the police on my brother-in-law and have us arrested if we didn't leave."
Lu Yong lowered his voice suddenly and leaned in close to the two.
"Hehehe."
"My brother-in-law agreed to leave the next day."
"But that very night, he crept into where the fatso was resting and slaughtered the whole family of three."
As he spoke, his gaze flicked across their faces, and he made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand. Seeing them both tense up, he straightened up with a chuckle and resumed puffing out clouds of smoke.
The two men, seemingly startled, shared an emerging thought.
This Chen fellow was definitely no pushover!
It's not going to be easy to deal with.
