Steven immediately glanced at the communicator, which showed that the call was still ongoing. He smiled dismissively, assuming the other party was considering what benefits they wanted, and quickly added:

"I'll give you five minutes to think. Give me your answer in five minutes."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone, imagining Zhao Gang being secretly pleased, excited, and greedy because of his act of kindness, racking his brains to figure out how much benefit this deal could bring him.

Steven had been feeling frustrated for two days, and at this moment, by imagining the other person's ugly behavior, he finally got five minutes of pleasure.

But five minutes later, Zhao Gang did not call back.

Steven waited patiently for another half minute, until the smile completely disappeared from his deep-set face.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number. The call was quickly answered, and a strange woman's voice came through.

Grandma Meng said, "Steven, right? Gangzi asked me to tell you that he has already opened the box, so no password is needed."

“Impossible!” Steven said with certainty. He didn’t believe anyone could figure out the password in less than ten tries.

Moreover, even if the password is obtained, it is impossible to open the door without his biometric fingerprint.

Granny Meng said calmly, "Is it possible... I mean, is it possible that the lock was broken and Gangzi just opened it?"

Steven's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling, but he still didn't believe the box was so fragile, and tentatively asked:

"Then please tell me, what's inside the box?"

Granny Meng said, "One hundred vials of the evolution potion."

Those seven simple words instantly broke Steven's composure. He roared, "You lying old hag, you'll be torn to pieces by the mutants!"

Granny Meng clicked her tongue. Cursing an old woman who is almost sixty years old like that will bring retribution.

"Steven, Gangzi said he's come up with a way to salvage the losses for you. Bring over supplies worth half the value of the potion, and we can continue the deal we just discussed."

"Old woman, do you know what you're saying?!" Steven kicked the car door in anger, making a loud bang.

He actually had to prepare the necessary resources to exchange for his evolution potion? He wouldn't even dare to do that in his wildest dreams!

"Great! Excellent!"

Steven picked up the microphone on the roof of the car and had his men turn on the loudspeaker. He wanted to tell the lords in Sector B about the terrible consequences that the shameless man on number 13's actions would bring to them.

Mo Shigui's temples throbbed as he watched the situation unfold. He hadn't slept a wink all night, trying to keep an eye on the Green Field Alliance.

Surprisingly, nothing happened last night. Apart from messing around in the East District's rubble until the early hours of the morning, the Green Wilderness Alliance group did absolutely nothing else.

But at this moment, listening to the threats coming from the loudspeaker, Mo Shigui suddenly realized that there seemed to be more people at the Green Wilderness Alliance camp.

After being threatened by Steven, the lords of Sector B became anxious.

Why should they be implicated by Zhao Gang?

With the entrances and exits blocked by the Green Wilderness Alliance, making it impossible to leave, the lords immediately came knocking on their door.

When the bell rang frantically, Zhao Xiaoxiu had just finished her daily sword practice under her master's supervision. She was covered in sweat, and her little face was flushed.

Zhao Gang sat in the sunshade made of the awning by the door, counting two boxes full of evolution potions. On the table were his points card and a blank notebook.

Standing outside the flower wall, the Meng family mother and her two children couldn't hide their excitement as they saw the dozen or so powerful lords from Zone B approaching.

"The lords are coming!"

Zhao Gang: "Let them in."

Granny Meng gave an OK sign to indicate that she understood, and immediately led Meng Er to the entrance, smiling as she said to everyone, "You can come in now."

Go in?

Zhao Gang and his daughter actually let them in? Didn't they know what they were there for?

The lords exchanged bewildered glances. The once-aggressive crowd suddenly became hesitant and stammering in the face of the smiling Granny Meng and her son.

Holding a bag of chili peppers, Hao Ran timidly raised his hand as he mingled in the crowd: "Um, I just came to exchange for flowers."

He looked at the menacing Zhang Lijun and his group with a bewildered expression. "You're here to exchange flowers too?"

Wenfei rolled her eyes at him, "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what Steven from the Green Field Alliance said?"

"Zhao Gang took their things and detained their people. If they don't hand over the things and people, the Green Wilderness Alliance will never let this go!"

Lord No. 14 followed up, saying, "Don't you know those lunatics? Once they're targeted, they're impossible to defend against if they find a chance to evade the base's troops."

The lords of plots one, four, and five said worriedly, "They've blocked the entrances and exits; anyone who tries to go out will die!"

Hao Ran asked blankly, "Aren't the base patrols supposed to protect everyone's safety?"

"Ha!" Zhang Lijun, who had been silent until now, sneered. Hao Ran asked him what he was laughing at, but he didn't know what was so funny.

Zhang Lijun looked at him and sighed, "Do you think they'll follow the rules and not break in? Have you forgotten the intense gunfire the night before last?"

Jiang Ning and Qiu Bai, standing far behind the crowd, exchanged a glance; this was exactly what they had been worried about.

Granny Meng called out twice, successfully attracting the attention of all the lords.

She looked at the worried Zhang Lijun and the others, and said in a calm tone:

"Therefore, I think everyone can come in and discuss with our lord how to safely get through this crisis."

What's the meaning?

"How did it become our crisis?" Bai Cailing grumbled, dissatisfied. "Grandma, your lord caused this mess himself, why should everyone else take the blame?"

Meng Er shouted impatiently, "What are you yelling about? We told you to come in, but you wouldn't. Then just wait at the door!"

Zhang Lijun's anger surged, and he angrily rebuked Meng Er for yelling, then shoved Granny Meng.

Upon seeing this, Meng Er immediately swung his fist and smashed it over.

Zhang Lijun wasn't afraid of him at all. He was just an ordinary person. How could someone who had evolved power lose to him?

The two men instantly started fighting, and the lords who had just been complaining and questioning rushed forward to break them up.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lijun was pinned down by Meng Er and beaten until his face was covered in blood.

Moreover, when everyone tried to pull Meng Er away, they couldn't budge him at all. Lord No. 14 was accidentally elbowed by Meng Er, and the cold, hard touch, like metal, startled him.

"Alright! Second brother!"

Finally, it was Granny Meng who spoke up and stopped Meng Er.

The lords were stunned. None of them were blind. With the fist craters on the ground left by Meng Er's fighting, they realized that things were not quite as they had imagined.

"Are you coming in?" A cute, rosy face appeared behind the green wall, blinking a pair of big, round eyes as she asked, "Want some cheap evolution potions? I have plenty at home."

Lords: What?!
