Chapter 144 Standoff
"Tie him up! Take him away!"
The one-eyed woman's plan succeeded. She quietly gave an order to her subordinates and led everyone away.
Before leaving, the one-eyed woman glanced coldly in the direction where Gu Jin and the others were.
"Hmph! With hostages in my hands, why would I be afraid you wouldn't obediently hand over your guns?"
Meanwhile, Gu Jin and the others upstairs had all seen everything from their windows. Gu Jin and Fang Qingxun had already communicated through their finger gestures, and Jiang Li and the others already knew, so they all watched the scene calmly.
Moreover, when Fang Qingxun fell down just now, he secretly made a hand gesture to everyone, indicating that he would leave a mark along the way.
"Is he alright on his own?"
Fu Xiaxia was still a little worried.
"Don't you know Fang Qingxun? It's alright. Besides, he has a gun. Let him play if he wants to."
Shi Yuan comforted Fu Xiaxia from the side.
"So what do we do next?"
Fu Xiaxia then asked another question.
"wait."
Shi Lin said succinctly.
"wait?"
Fu Xiaxia doesn't quite understand?
"Yes, we'll wait. They didn't just snatch it right away, but secretly took Fang Qingxun away. That means they'll definitely come back to find us. They must have something on their mind, otherwise they wouldn't go to such lengths to help a grown man go back."
Jiang Li explained his understanding to Fu Xiaxia.
"Yes, that's what I mean. They will definitely come back. We can just wait for them. Since they have something to do, Fang Qingxun won't be in danger for the time being. He also has a signal flare on him. He will send us a message if there is any real danger."
Gu Jin explained the situation to Fu Xiaxia, who nodded with slight relief.
Fang Qingxun on the other side must have already been searched, but he had already put all his belongings away, so how could they have found them so easily? Moreover, the people who tied him up only searched briefly and stopped searching when they found nothing on his waist.
Seeing the man's movements, Fang Qingxun realized that they definitely wanted his gun. He just didn't know how they had found out. Fortunately, he was vigilant and didn't put the gun on his waist, but placed it somewhere else on his body.
He carried a small gun. They were used to carrying guns on their person at all times, but larger ones would be more noticeable, so he always carried a pocket gun that was easy to conceal. Whenever he was with the girl, he could grab the gun at any time. If they wanted to separate, he also had a pocket gun to protect himself and to surprise the enemy.
Gu Jin and his group waited for an hour or two before the others finally arrived.
“A vehicle is coming this way. It’s a pickup truck, and there are at least four or five people in it!”
Jiang Li held up his binoculars and spoke to Gu Jin and the others.
"Be ready for battle at any time."
Gu Jin looked at the car approaching from a distance and said something. The others nodded and then took out their guns. Since they had appeared so openly, they naturally had to be on guard.
Soon, a pickup truck appeared in front of the five people and stopped about 10 meters away.
Then, five men got off the bus. They were all strong men and were carrying blunt weapons such as sticks and clubs.
The visitor was indeed up to no good!
Gu Jin, Shi Lin, and Shi Yuan all had their guns raised, but neither of them made any further moves. Gu Jin didn't take these people seriously.
Jiang Li and Fu Xiaxia did not take out their guns. The best strategy was to catch them off guard and let them think that the two of them were not aggressive.
Gu Jin slightly moved the muzzle of the gun towards the passenger side of the pickup truck, because there was still one person who hadn't gotten out!
Immediately afterwards, a tall woman stepped out of the passenger seat; it was the one-eyed woman.
"It's a one-eyed man."
Fu Xiaxia whispered to the group that they had only seen a general outline and hadn't actually seen the woman's face.
Gu Jin remained silent, his gun still held high, ready to see what these people were doing here!
"Hey, hey, hey, little brothers and two little sisters, don't be so nervous. This way of treating guests is really scaring your big sister."
The one-eyed woman smiled, raised her hands, and took two steps forward from the crowd.
"Who are you people, and what do you want?"
Gu Jin feigned wariness and said, "This woman's smile is too fake."
"Of course we are survivors just like you. Alas, we encountered a horde of zombies and had to flee. Unexpectedly, we ended up here by accident."
The one-eyed woman still did not reveal her true intentions directly.
"Get lost! This place is under our control. You're not welcome here!"
Fu Xiaxia also pretended to curse back, and the one-eyed woman in front of her was obviously the leader.
"Oh my, little sister, you're so fierce! You scared your older sister!"
The one-eyed woman put on a pitiful appearance, but because she was blind in one eye and wore an eye patch, she didn't really fit the word "pitiful."
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out!
Suddenly, Gu Jin fired a shot into the air, startling everyone on the other side.
"Stop beating around the bush and state your true purpose!"
Gu Jin was too lazy to listen to the one-eyed woman's nonsense anymore.
The fact that the one-eyed woman could rise to the position of leader clearly shows that she wasn't panicked by the gunshots earlier.
"Hmph! I heard you're looking for someone? Well, coincidentally, I know exactly where that person is!"
Suddenly, the one-eyed woman, who had been all smiles just moments before, snorted coldly and instantly changed her demeanor. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Jin and the others with a cold gaze, then spoke.
"You wretched woman! Tell me! Have you captured our people?!"
Fu Xiaxia pretended to be angry and shouted at the one-eyed woman.
"Give us back our people!"
Jiang Li then angrily added.
Gu Jin's gaze sharpened as he spoke to the one-eyed woman.
"If anything happens to my men, you will all be executed along with them!"
"Oh dear, don't be so anxious. Don't worry, the person isn't dead yet, what's the panic?"
The one-eyed woman glanced at Gu Jin, realizing that this was the leader. The one-eyed woman's expression was extremely changeable, and a smile returned to her face.
"My women have already observed you. Look at my men behind me, they're all ugly and deformed, they don't interest me at all."
The one-eyed woman remained calm and composed, as if she knew that Gu Jin and the other two would not dare to fire their guns easily.
After she finished speaking, her subordinates behind her showed no sign of anger. These people, including the rest of the camp, had long been tamed by the one-eyed woman and dared not show the slightest disobedience.
Because they knew just how terrifying this woman's methods were! The one-eyed woman continued.
"So! My requirements are very simple: I've been lonely for too long and need guys like you to keep me company. It's been a long time since I've met such handsome men!"
The one-eyed woman pointed at Gu Jin and the other two, then pointed her long, beautiful finger at Jiang Li and Fu Xiaxia again, continuing her teasing.
"As for these two pretty young ladies, it's not a bad thing for me to try something different every now and then!"
