Zhang Xiaoqiang was not as anxious as Zhang Huai An had imagined. He slowly walked to the wheelchair and sat down. He crossed his legs and looked at Zhang Huai An from the corner of his eyes.
"Oh?
Tell me? "
The emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was. Zhang Huai An was especially anxious. He rushed to Zhang Xiaoqiang's side and was about to whisper into his ear.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo … It's such a hot day. What's the big deal? I'm asking you to tell me, so just tell me honestly."
Zhang Xiaoqiang pushed Zhang Huai An to the side. On such a hot day, the two men were too close to each other. He was getting more and more annoyed.
"It's like this. Today, a guy came to me and said that he wanted to sell me a piece of information. I had nothing to do, so I asked him to tell me. He insisted on ten tons of rice. Ten tons of rice is the most precious thing in my life. I asked my men to beat him up.
That guy was a spineless coward. After being beaten up, he spilled the beans in just a few sentences. When he said it, I was shocked. He told me the exact location of the armory. He said that this information was also given to him by someone else. It seemed like everyone knew the location of the armory.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, what do you think we should do?
Should we kill all the people who know about this?
The belongings in the armory will be our foundation in the future. We can't use them now, but it doesn't mean we can't use them in the future. "
It was rare for Zhang Huai An to show his ruthless side. Unfortunately, Zhang Huai An was too extreme. He didn't care about the actual situation. Someone had brought the information to the campsite. Presumably, everyone in the gathering place knew about it. Could they kill them all?
"That's it?
Nothing else? "
"What else could it be?
Is this a big thing? "
Zhang Huai'an did not understand why Zhang Xiaoqiang was so indifferent. He did not seem to be interested in this matter at all. Zhang Huai'an had been jealous and stingy ever since he became a logistics officer. The armory was already in the bag for the team, and he did not want others to stretch their claws.
"I thought it was a big deal. If someone asks you, just tell them the truth. Tell them everything except for the valley that Yellow Springs and the others sealed." "That's right.
Zhang Huai'an didn't understand. It seemed like Zhang Xiaoqiang was also a money-grubber in the past. When did he become so generous?
"What do you mean?"
"If someone wants to die, why should we stop them?
Wasn't there a report the day before yesterday that the search team was always followed by a hanging ghost?
It must have been hard for them to put in so much effort. "
When Zhang Huai'an saw that Zhang Xiaoqiang really didn't care about it, he suddenly remembered that there was still a big guy in the armory.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang is talking about the Great Blackbird?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not speak anymore and nodded slowly. Zhang Huai'an cursed himself for being stupid. No wonder Zhang Xiaoqiang was not anxious at all. He had a card up his sleeve.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, do you think we should take this opportunity to wipe them all out?"
Zhang Huai'an could not forget about the population of the colony. A hundred thousand people meant a hundred thousand labor force. They only took up less than one-tenth of the population, and most of them were still burdens.
"Your plan is to take this opportunity to wipe them all out, then steal their food and use it to subdue the survivors?"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang had guessed his plan, Zhang Huai'an nodded his head repeatedly. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Do you think those people are idiots?
Will they leave a few trusted men to guard the granary?
Once we attack, will it be faster to rob them?
Or will it burn faster?
There's gasoline in the colony. If we just pour some gasoline on it, the fire will reach the sky.
That's not realistic. Even if we rob quickly, we don't have enough manpower. At most, we can only rob a small portion. Even if the heavens suddenly send down a bolt of lightning and kill all the people guarding the granary, with our few people, can we rob more than a hundred thousand starving poor people?
Also, are you prepared to accept more than a hundred thousand people? "
The last sentence hit Zhang Huai'an's weak point. He could not accept more than a hundred thousand people at the same time. Not to mention a hundred thousand people, even if it was a hundred thousand pigs, he would not be able to handle it.
"This is such a good opportunity. Are we going to give it up just like that?"
Zhang Huai'an was at a loss. He stood there and muttered to himself.
"No matter how good the opportunity is, it depends on our own ability. Without this ability, we can only give up on the opportunity. Otherwise, the opportunity will become a disaster.
I purposely leaked the location of the armory. The strength of the major forces did not suffer any damage, but the other forces still have a certain hostility towards us.
Now, we have to deal with the big black fish. The big black fish is also a thorn in their hearts. If they can calm down and wait for us to deal with the big black fish, when we recover the island in the center of the lake, it will not be a simple matter. Even if they don't dare to cause trouble in the open, they will secretly cause trouble.
The armory is a bait for those people to take the bait. When they go to retrieve the weapons, there will be a huge surprise waiting for them … "
Hearing this, Zhang Huai'an was a little confused. Why did Zhang Xiaoqiang's words sound more and more similar to his previous idea?
"Of course, our goal is not to destroy them. We have to be prepared to rescue them …"
"Rescue … rescue?"
Zhang Huai'an cried out in shock. His voice sounded like a crowing rooster. He was completely confused.
"Yes, my goal is to weaken them as much as possible. I don't want them to be completely annihilated. If they are completely annihilated, there will be too many variables. Food might be destroyed, and the people's hearts in the gathering place might be in chaos. Also, if we want to recruit people from the gathering place in the future, they might be afraid of the outside world and not respond."
"Why don't we just take them in directly? Even if there are their loyal subordinates there, we can say that the people outside were killed by the mutated beasts …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head repeatedly. Zhang Huai'an stopped talking and listened to Zhang Xiaoqiang's explanation.
"Not all the leaders will go out. There will always be one who will stay in the camp. If their subordinates outside are completely annihilated, the first thing they will suspect is us. They might even become enemies with us, and that will cause trouble for our future plans.
If we chase away the Great Blackbird when their dispatched troops suffer heavy losses, they will turn to us. On one hand, their strength will be weakened, and on the other hand, the three major powers will be watching them covetously. The three major powers might not touch them, but they themselves will feel guilty.
At that time, we can slowly take them in and use the identity of our own people to make them feel at ease. Finally, we can throw them into the base and arrange for them to retire with the title of street supervisor. Their resources, connections, and the people they control will all be ours. We will also have enough reasons to nibble away at the gathering place! "
Zhang Huai'an stopped talking. He knew that he had come up with another rotten idea. The bit of confidence that he had accumulated with great difficulty during this period of time disappeared completely.
Seeing Zhang Huai'an's expression, Zhang Xiaoqiang also felt bored and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Thinking of Zhang Huai'an's restaurant, he had an idea. He had heard all day about how good Zhang Huai'an's restaurant business was and how much food they earned, but he had never gone to take a look. It would be a good idea to go and take a look now.
Zhang Xiaoqiang followed Zhang Huai'an to the market in a wheelchair. After passing through the market, they arrived at the restaurant's entrance. It seemed that Zhang Huai'an was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. The restaurant was not eye-catching. It had a row of tall tents, much like the food stalls of the past. The entrance, however, was not simple. A large pool had been dug out with great effort.
The water in the pool was clear and crystalline, and a few fresh lake prawns and small fish were swimming in it. The artificial fountain on top of the rock garden sprayed fine water droplets, and the water droplets scattered in the sky like a curtain of rain, refracting the sunlight and flashing rainbow-like colorful halos.
On this hot summer day, seeing the fountain at the entrance of the tent made him feel much cooler. He couldn't help but become more curious about the inside and wondered if it would be cooler inside.
Just as the two of them walked to the pool, a commotion came from the other side of the tent. Amidst the commotion, there were people shouting and shouting. Hearing this commotion, Zhang Huai'an's expression changed.
Since the opening of the restaurant, Zhang Huai'an had ordered time and time again that no one was allowed to cause trouble here. Once discovered, they would be severely punished. Today, there was actually someone who dared to cause trouble here. How could he not be angry?
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, you go in first. I'll go take a look." After saying that, Zhang Huai'an took out his pistol and was about to go in.
