"Since that's the case, then I'll say it: you chose this place for the transaction, did I say I disagreed?"
Ye Lei looked at the seemingly empty square and said meaningfully.
"No, it's about the same distance from both of our houses, isn't that great?"
Zheng Kai intentionally changed the subject.
"That's just one reason. Do you think there might be someone behind that house?"
Ye Lei pointed to a house not far away and said.
"How could there possibly be anyone there? Absolutely not!"
"Since you're so sure, then the people behind you definitely aren't from your Zheng family. I'm relieved!"
After Ye Lei finished speaking, the Hidden Ape King came out from behind, carrying the corpse of a survivor on its shoulder. Blood was dripping onto the ground, clearly indicating that the victim had just died. The victim was, of course, a member of the Zheng family who had been lurking there.
"What kind of monster zombie is that?"
Zheng Kai pointed at the Hidden Ape King and cried out in disbelief.
"Don't be afraid, it's just my pet. You should still make sure the person it's carrying isn't from your Zheng family!"
Ye Lei had already made plans; no matter how Zheng Kai answered, he had a way to deal with it.
"this……"
Zheng Kai was stumped and felt extremely conflicted.
If they admit it, the remaining 300 bags of rice and flour will definitely be wasted; but if they don't admit it, the lives of those brothers who are hiding might be in danger.
"How about it? Why don't you go up and check it out yourself?" Ye Lei said provocatively. "My pet is very friendly, it definitely won't hurt you, don't worry."
Ye Lei intentionally gave him time to think.
"Okay...okay...I'll go take a look, it's really hard to see clearly."
As Zheng Kai spoke, he walked away, discreetly pressing the microphone button on his headset and whispering to his companions, "Brothers, get ready! When I count to three, two, one, fire and take them all down!"
It turns out that he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, leaving the Zheng family with space to shoot.
Surprisingly, his instructions came so clearly from behind him that he was terrified. He turned around in a panic and saw Ye Lei holding a walkie-talkie with a sly smile on his face.
"Count them! I'm waiting!"
It turns out that Ye Lei had already killed a member of the Zheng family and taken the walkie-talkie before entering the square, but he was only taking it out now.
"How...how did you get our walkie-talkies?"
Zheng Kai then realized that he had been completely deceived by Ye Lei.
"Hurry up, your brothers are waiting for your orders!"
"Kid, aren't you going too far? Brothers, come out here, no need to hide anymore!"
As Zheng Kai spoke, he pressed the microphone button, but unexpectedly, no one came out. What was going on?
Zheng Kai stared blankly at the still quiet square around him, completely bewildered. Where were his brothers? Could they all have been wiped out? There were drones around, and they hadn't received any warning from their boss!
"Boss, quickly send the drone to check where the brothers are!"
Zheng Kai gave the order to his boss.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
"No need to go, your brothers have already gone to meet the King of Hell!"
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"How is that possible? There wasn't a sound at all, how did they die?"
Zheng Kai would never believe what Ye Lei said.
"Look at what's on top of your head?"
Zheng Kai looked in the direction Ye Lei was pointing and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "Isn't that... isn't that the flying snake that spews poisonous mist from the One-Line Sky?"
"Yes, you're right, it's that snake. Your brothers were all killed by its poisonous mist. Those drones didn't even notice it!"
Ye Lei was fully aware of the Zheng family's methods.
"Impossible? How could it possibly obey you?"
Zheng Kai shook his head like a rattle drum.
"But it listens to me now, there's really nothing I can do about it."
Ye Lei deliberately made it sound like he was helpless.
At this moment, the boss's voice came through Zheng Kai's earpiece: "Kai'er, all those brothers have been killed. How did he do it? We didn't even notice. Hurry up and find a way back so we can discuss this further!"
"Kid, you're ruthless. What do you want?"
Zheng Kai was completely and silently played by someone from beginning to end, and he really felt like dying.
"What do I not want? Originally, I planned to make a fair deal with you. You only have yourself to blame for sending drones to trespass into the shelter without authorization. Actually, these are minor matters. But..."
Ye Lei suddenly dropped his playful grin and shouted sternly, "But you actually ambushed so many people around the square! You're trying to kill me!"
"No, those people were just protecting my safety, they absolutely didn't mean what you're saying."
With his scheme exposed, Zheng Kai could only offer a final, desperate attempt to justify himself.
"Stop with the sweet talk. The location is set, so what are you afraid of? Your plan is probably to kill me first, then go to Yixiantian and plunder the supplies in the shelter, right?"
Ye Lei had encountered too many of them; all the survivors were extremely interested in his shelter.
"No, absolutely not, please believe me!"
In fact, Zheng Kai planned to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Ye Lei, and the purpose of everything that the eldest son of the Zheng family did was to seize control of the shelter.
"Alright, I've said enough. I'll spare your life since you've worked so hard to collect communication equipment for me. Now get lost!"
Ye Lei wasn't afraid of the Zheng family; perhaps they could even help him with more things.
"Thank you, brother! No, thank you, big brother!"
Zheng Kai felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly got up from the ground, then hurriedly jumped into the car, which sped away like an arrow, leaving only a trail of dust behind.
The painful lesson learned from this failed transaction should be enough for him to deeply reflect on his behavior and decisions after returning home.
Ye Lei watched Zheng Kai's departing car, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
He then stored the remaining three hundred bags of rice and flour into his spatial storage. In this apocalyptic world, food was extremely scarce, and wasting even a single grain of rice was an unforgivable crime.
"Brother Lei, I didn't get to help you much this time."
Tang Xiaoting walked over.
"No, you guys are my strong support. Do you expect me to rush to the scene all by myself?"
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"Yeah, brother, you're amazing! That guy was so scared he almost peed his pants."
"Sister, don't you know who my father is? Those people are no match for him!"
"Alright, it's time to go home!"
Ye Lei patted the two little elves on the head and said with a smile that he needed to hurry back to install the communication equipment and hoped that the equipment would work properly.
