"He never meddles in other people's business. He says there should be no fighting, but after a fight, he'll at most drive the troublemakers away, but he won't come out to help. But if we take your supplies, we'll just be driven away. We don't necessarily have to follow Captain Gao's team to survive, right?"

This bearded man, when saying these things, first mentioned the ability of superhumans who could hear others talking from a great distance, thus demonstrating his muscles.

Secondly, while threatening Mu Qingyu, those words were also meant for the others present.

There were so many people there eyeing Attorney Zhou's supplies, and now they were targeting Mu Qingyu's people. The bearded man was basically telling them—go ahead and rob them, what's there to be afraid of? Gao Yingwei wouldn't interfere in the survivors' fight; at most, he'd drive away the troublemakers afterward.

What's there to be afraid of if they drive us away? With supplies, where can't we go? We might even be able to hire bodyguards to escort us!

Didn't Mu Qingyu say she could talk to Gao Yingwei about escorting Lawyer Zhou and the other three north? If they get the supplies, can't they still hire Gao Yingwei?

After hearing what the bearded man said, many people felt as if their meridians had been opened, and they suddenly realized—yes, there was no need to worry about Gao Yingwei at all, there was a whole truckload of supplies!

With these supplies, they don't necessarily need to follow the army to survive, do they?

Moreover, the army heading north was not necessarily limited to Gao Yingwei's force.

Having figured this out, many people quietly and slowly surrounded Mu Qing and his group of five.

The bearded man chuckled, his eyes gleaming with smugness. "Look at you lot, all of you old, weak, and disabled. If you know what's good for you, you'd better hand over the supplies obediently. At least then we can guarantee your safety. Right?"

Seeing that this person was quite good at stirring things up, Mu Qingyu looked at the people around her and laughed, "Hand it over? Hand it over to whom? Is that little bit of supplies enough for so many of you to share? And how much will each person get?"

Trying to sow discord, huh? She can do that too!

Mu Qingyu wasn't afraid of these people at all. She could burn the heads of ten superhumans in a matter of minutes, unless their level was higher than hers. Besides, there were more ordinary people than superhumans surrounding her.

Even if Mu Qingyu had any worries, they were only about accidentally injuring Lawyer Zhou and the other three in the fight. She wasn't really afraid of anything else. If things got really bad, she'd just finish it quickly.

She was still willing to waste her breath arguing with them because she found it interesting; she wanted to see what these people would do.

Sure enough, that's human nature. Even though they know Mu Qingyu is trying to sow discord, they still have to carefully consider what she said—whether it's the looted supplies or the supplies she handed over herself, how are they distributed among so many people?

The bearded man frowned. He knew Mu Qingyu was stirring things up, but he sneered at the people around him and said, "Don't overthink it. Since it was our Ten-Harmony Team that took the lead, the stuff naturally belongs to us."

As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, a large group of people gathered outside. Including the bearded man, there were exactly ten people. No wonder they were called the Ten-Piece Squad.

"Our team has ten people, all of whom are superhumans. You can challenge us if you want!" The bearded man looked around and said provocatively.

When people heard that there were ten people with superpowers, many of them backed down. This was especially true for ordinary people who were traveling alone or in groups of three or four.

Upon hearing what the bearded man said, they knew they probably wouldn't even get a sip of soup, so they withdrew and stopped participating, to avoid losing more than they gained.

However, some people still didn't back down. Some teams had seven or eight people. Although not all of them might be superhumans, there were probably some strong individuals in their teams, so they weren't afraid.

“There’s no such thing as first come, first served in these matters. Your team has people with superpowers, and so do we. Why should we let you have them?” At this moment, a short man chimed in sarcastically.

He was very short, only about 1.5 meters tall, and very thin, with a pointed chin and narrow eyes. This reminded Mu Qingyu of the mutated giant rat she had burned to death not long ago.

This man spoke in a strange, muffled voice. Behind him stood six or seven burly men and a beautiful woman.

After this group emerged and clashed with the bearded man, the other smaller groups and individuals, after assessing their own strength, also withdrew from the competition.

So the situation on the scene became that two groups surrounded Mu Qingyu and her group of five, one in front and one behind.

The bearded man carefully examined the other party, guessing that they were probably all superhumans as well. Although they were a few people fewer than their team of ten, what if each of them was quite strong?

The bearded man wasn't one to stick to his guns, and his tone softened slightly: "It seems everyone else has dropped out, leaving only our two teams. We don't need to be bitter; we can split the supplies equally between our two teams. This way, we can avoid conflict and everyone will benefit. What do you think?"

It would be great to take it all for yourself, but if you want to take it all for yourself, you'll have to fight. If you fight and both sides are injured, it won't benefit anyone, and someone else might even benefit from it.

The skinny guy shared the same idea as the bearded man: fighting wouldn't be cost-effective, since it was just a truckload of supplies, not a whole warehouse of supplies.

So the bearded man and the short man quickly reached an agreement.

Fang Rushi was extremely angry. He had been hiding at home almost all the time since the apocalypse, and it was only in the last few days that he had come into contact with more survivors.
