"Zhang Xiaoqiang is truly benevolent and righteous. Zhang Xiaoqiang sent people to stabilize the situation when the coastal position was about to be lost. If it wasn't for Jian Zhan … I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable …"
Dan Qingchao seemed to have made up his mind. Originally, Jian Zhan had offended the Green Dao Society by taking in the armed forces and evolved humans there. It could have been used as an excuse to force Zhang Xiaoqiang. Even if they had tens of thousands of people, it would be easy for the Green Dao Society to cut off their escape route. As long as they could control these people, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not be able to do anything to them. However, at this moment, these schemes had become irrelevant. The most important thing was to get out of Shanghai alive. Who could guarantee that Zhang Xiaoqiang would care about these people?
"Hehe, speaking of this, I have to apologize to the two of you. Jian Zhan made the decision on his own. It was not my intention to take in those armed forces and evolved humans. You should know that my ships are limited. These days, the Blood Phoenix has overloaded the ships. I'm afraid that I won't be able to transport my resources and equipment away within three days. If the two of you are willing, I can ask Jian Zhan to return those troops to you …"
When Zhang Xiaoqiang said this, he secretly hated Jian Zhan for making the decision on his own. If he wanted to take in the troops, he would not have waited for Jian Zhan to come out.
In his eyes, these evolved humans were not worth a fart. They did not even have a bottom line. They did not know how to restrain themselves and only knew how to bully ordinary people. They were worse than animals. At least, dogs did not eat dog meat. "No, no, no … Zhang Xiaoqiang has misunderstood. Without Jian Zhan and Zhang Xiaoqiang's helicopter, the city would not have been breached tomorrow.
"No, no, no … Brother Cockroach has misunderstood. Without the Sword Slayer and Brother Cockroach's helicopter, we wouldn't have been able to defend the city until tomorrow. We wouldn't have been able to defend the city today. The final line of defense wouldn't have been able to defend against the 23 terrifying beasts. It's also our fault. Our attention was diverted by the Blood Phoenix, and we didn't manage to deal with the sudden incident at the seaside in time. The person in charge was also an idiot. When we couldn't defend against the beasts, we actually left Brother Sword Slayer and a few thousand people outside to feed the Mutant Beasts. If it wasn't for Brother Sword Slayer, the consequences would have been unimaginable …"
Without Dan Qingchao's explanation, Chen Yu had already told Zhang Xiao Qiang everything that had happened at the beach. Qinghong Taoist was indeed not doing a good job at the beach. While people were fighting outside, they did not even replenish their food and medical supplies. The only way for evolvers and armed men to fill their stomachs was to eat mutant beasts. This was also the reason why some people wanted to take away the bodies of the mutant beasts even though they had recognized the sword slash. Not only could the meat of the mutant beasts improve the evolvers' abilities, the scales and skin could be made into armor, and the teeth and bones could be made into weapons. For evolvers, they were all treasures. It was also because of these mutant beasts that the evolvers were able to survive until now.
"In fact … in fact, the battle at the seaside was a trap … and so were the hundreds of thousands of survivors in the city …"
Dao Ming had expressed his intention to join Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Zhang Xiaoqiang had changed the topic. Dan Qingchao had used the thousands of armed men at the seaside to test Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Zhang Xiaoqiang had also rejected the offer. They had a rough idea of Zhang Xiaoqiang's attitude. Perhaps Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to take away the evolved humans in Shanghai. From this point of view, Zhang Xiaoqiang's transportation ability had indeed reached its limit, and the number of evolved humans they could take away would not be too many. Without enough subordinates, even if they were the top evolved humans, they would still be stray dogs outside. Dao Ming pondered for a long time and finally told them the truth about the seaside defense line.
As expected, Zhang Xiaoqiang was attracted by Dao Ming's words. Dan Qingchao's expression changed, and he let out a long sigh and stopped talking. He looked at Dao Ming with certainty. Zhang Xiaoqiang was stubborn, so they had to find a way to persuade him indirectly. "It was not us who investigated the sea coming ashore.
That day, Qinghong Taoism merged into one, and the main purpose was to stop the mutated creatures. It was Xue Feng who joined hands with us. Xue Feng used his coercion to make us unable to fight back, and he restricted us from leaving the city. He asked us to get as many corpses of the mutated beasts as possible for him. Before Xue Feng was defeated by you, we sent at least 200 tons of corpses to Xue Feng. In addition, he asked us to turn the city center into a battlefield, and he promised us that we would have enough evolved humans to fight … "
"Corpses?
Enough evolved humans? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly had an idea. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his gaze became sharp as he stared at the two.
He asked harshly, "Is it because of the sudden increase of evolved humans?
My men took in the survivors of Hong Yun, and in less than half a day, more than 300 of them have become evolved humans. If you count the new evolved humans under your command, the number will double. At least 1,000 people have become evolved humans in one day, and at least 12,000 evolved humans in ten days. No wonder you have so many evolved humans. It must have something to do with Xue Feng … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang finally understood the reason for the increase of evolved humans. Xue Feng could oppress the evolved humans in the city, paralyze Xi'er, and render the three tycoons of Great Green Sect powerless. However, they could not do anything to the ordinary evolved humans in the Special Combat Camp. The biggest reason was that these evolved humans were created by someone. Dan Qingchao and Dao Ming looked at each other, nodded heavily, and said, "It is not only related to Xue Feng, but also to the person behind him. Xue Feng asked us to call the person behind him master, and we are just puppets. Xue Feng could not control the evolved humans under him without us, so … that is why Xue Feng was so arrogant and did not take Zhang Xiaoqiang seriously. Now that Xue Feng is hiding behind the scenes, I am afraid that his master will appear soon. The situation in Shanghai can no longer be sustained. The only way to survive is in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands, and it all depends on whether Zhang Xiaoqiang will agree to it or not …"
This was a showdown. They had brought up their only way to survive, which was to pressure Zhang Xiaoqiang. The two of them had come alone, which meant that they were prepared for the worst. Thousands of evolved humans and more than 10,000 armed men should be ready. If Zhang Xiaoqiang did not agree to their request, Zhang Xiaoqiang would have to fight with all the evolved humans in the city before leaving.
"We don't have anything good. Xue Feng asked us to deliver the dead bodies of mutated beasts, and we don't want to let him take advantage of us. These were obtained from the dead bodies of mutated beasts. If Zhang Xiaoqiang likes them, he can take them. They are very good for evolved humans …"
Dao Ming had nothing with him when he came, but now he took out a black velvet bag from nowhere. The bulging bag made a sound of hard objects rubbing against each other, and he put it down beside Zhang Xiaoqiang. There must be more than one kilogram of stuff in the bag. Zhang Xiaoqiang knew what they were without opening the bag. He took a look at the bag, then at Dan Qingchao and Dao Ming, who were staring at Zhang Xiaoqiang and waiting for him to speak.
"I know this stuff, but it is useless for humans. I'm afraid you have used up all the useful stuff, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not take the bag. He knew that if there were crystal cores, there would be colloids, and colloids would not make the sound of rubbing against each other. They did not tell Zhang Xiaoqiang the truth, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was satisfied with the things in the bag. They were useless for humans, but they were very useful for mutated beasts. If there were enough crystal cores, the dozens of water snakes he kept in Jiangxi could grow into new flood dragons.
"We can't hide it from Zhang Xiaoqiang. You are talking about the brain gel, right? Brother Dao Ming and I have eaten it, and so has Good Luck. There are not many of them, and they have all been used by our subordinates. We can't take it out even if we want to. However, I heard that we got a lot of it with our swords …"
Dan Qingchao did not deny it, and he could not deny it anyway. Many evolvers who were fighting at the front knew that the bodies of mutated beasts were treasures. In the later stage, evolvers rarely handed over the bodies as military merits, which was why they were not allowed to enter the final line of defense. In the end, it was for benefits. Now, under pressure, Dan Qingchao and Dao Ming finally took out their biggest secret, which was to trade for Zhang Xiaoqiang's life.
"Creak …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang reached out his hand and grabbed the bag. The crystal core made a crisp sound in his hand, which made the two feel relieved. Zhang Xiaoqiang had the intention to take it.
