Once the incident calmed down, neither side was interested in having dinner anymore.

Now that the cooperation has been agreed upon, all that remains is to wait for the timing of the conflict between the Qingjing Gang and the Qiangsheng Group.

Yang Hao even came over specifically to ask, "Should we take the initiative or strike back?"

Xu Xing offered his advice: the other side has guns, and although the number may not be large, they are definitely a major hidden danger.

By the time they're ready to charge, it will be too late. So the best course of action is to take advantage of their unpreparedness and fight our way through, which might allow us to take them down in one fell swoop.

Yang Hao lowered his head and thought, "That makes sense, but since you just arrived today, you still need to familiarize yourselves with the environment first. Also, some conflicts broke out among our men."

So, I'm planning to have you stay here for the night, and then, in the early morning or early at night, when they're most relaxed, we'll drive straight to their hideout.

"Then there will be you, me, and this big brother."

Yang Hao stretched out his hand and continued to Ye Kai, "If the three of us join forces, we will definitely be able to kill their group leader Gao Qiqiang on the spot."

By then, their lackeys will naturally be unable to cause any trouble.

Xu Xing chuckled, "Chief Yang, that's not very fair. If you were to let my brother Ye Kai take such a big risk, we couldn't split the profits 40/60 anymore."

Yang Hao laughed heartily twice, appearing extremely generous, and said, "Of course, I have more people from the lower classes on my side, so splitting it 50/50 is no problem, right?"

But behind his hearty laughter, a cold glint flashed, and one wonders what he was calculating in his heart.

“Quite good,” Xu Xing agreed.

At this point, Yang Hao showed no expression and arranged all the private rooms on the third floor of the Buckingham Palace for Xu Xing and his group to choose from.

He then led his men deeper into the private room, but his steps seemed somewhat heavy.

After they left, Xu Xing, without any hesitation, found a sofa and sat down.

"Boss, are we really going to agree to them and stay here overnight? This place isn't safe at all, it's a far cry from our villa area, and besides, this is someone else's territory."

Ye Kai was the first to ask.

Zhou Feng quickly added to the story afterward.

"I suspect that the leader of the Qingjing Gang had ulterior motives in arranging us here."

Xu Xing reached out his hand to interrupt their conversation and said in a low voice, "Be careful, the walls may have ears."

Everyone present changed their expressions, observing their surroundings with suspicious eyes.

"We'll head out first." Xu Xing waved his hand and said to the ordinary people, "You people, go to the third floor and choose a suitable room. Then just follow my orders."

Remember, whatever I ask you to do, just do it diligently.

"Okay!" everyone said in unison, and then they all left.

Xu Xing stood up and led the rest of the group out of Buckingham. On the way, they encountered two women who were hurrying back.

Xu Xing quickly told them to go and meet up.

The situation outside Buckingham remains the same as before: dirty, messy, and dilapidated, with nothing to hide.

This contrasts sharply with the opulent interior.

Xu Xing even noticed a small grave mound in the nearby green belt, which appeared to be the work of those two women.

The only advantage of being outside is that there are no zombies to bother them. In fact, a large area around the area has already been cleared out by Yang Hao's men.

Further out, many people are patrolling, keeping watch out for any zombies that might wander in unnoticed.

Most of these people were newly recruited, and patrol work was the most dangerous.

The group of old men under Yang Hao's command didn't seem to be anything special, except for eating and drinking. Come to think of it, even tasks like going on expeditions were done by Lao Chang, whom they had only recently recruited.

Xu Xing was naturally very happy to see this happen, as there would definitely be a lot of conflict between the old and the new.

Most newcomers join here out of necessity or by no other choice; only a minority are truly willing. This saves a lot of trouble in recruiting them back for the future.

Xu Xing used his mental power to disperse the surrounding air, and the pervasive smell finally subsided a bit.

At this moment, Xu Xing also began to explain.

"Yang Hao's move was indeed insidious, allowing him to retreat and then attack or defend as needed."

If we actually believe his nonsense, regardless of whether the cooperation ends successfully or unsuccessfully, we will definitely be the ones who suffer the most.

Judging from Yang Hao's performance, they should also have some firearms, most likely ones they recently acquired.

That's why they seem so confident and fearless.

"So, are we not staying here? Or should we take this opportunity to eliminate Yang Hao and his gang first?"

Ye Kai asked excitedly; that brief contact had indeed boosted his confidence.

"This isn't about whether we stay or not. If we think about it carefully, if we don't stay, it means that we've broken off all ties, and the outcome is obvious: war between us."

"Then let's fight! Are we afraid of them?" Wang Hu, who hadn't spoken before, was now somewhat indignant.

When his own family members were being beaten, he wanted to rush in, but Ye Kai beat him to it.

Xu Xing suddenly looked a little angry. "Of course I'm not afraid. What I mean is, Ye Kai and I aren't afraid. If we really fight, you might not even survive."

Xu Xing spoke harshly, noting the significant numerical disparity between the two sides; even Yang Hao's veteran followers numbered over forty.

The four superhumans following Yang Hao were probably also veteran members. Judging from the energy fluctuations, two were at level two and two were at the peak of level one.

They are all rather difficult characters to deal with.

Seeing that they had fallen silent, Xu Xing continued, "Staying here is definitely not an option. It's better to be safe than sorry. If they are really bold enough to attack us at night, then we will definitely be the passive party."

Their plan at that time must have been to take the opportunity to eliminate us, then march straight to our heartland and settle in our territory.

"Therefore, this option is also not feasible."

Seeing Xu Xing say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. By stating the absolute truth, it meant that their leader already had a solution.

Xu Xing stretched out one finger and pointed to the southernmost point.

"Therefore, we are the ones who must strike first and ignite the fuse between the Qingjing Gang and the Qiangsheng Group today."

Only in this way can we maximize our benefits. There's no time like the present, so let's do it now!
