Chapter 117: Ruins (First Update)
The central area where Liu Meng lived was guarded, and no one except the people living inside could get close. Before the thin man got close, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at him.
Someone shouted, "Stop! Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The thin man looked at the black muzzle of the gun, his face turned pale with fear, and he quickly smiled and said, "No! No! No! We can talk it over, can you put the gun away first?" Seeing that the other party didn't react at all, he had to bite the bullet and said, "This is it, my name is Li Fugui, I have something very important to tell you, I need to see Mr. Meng, can this big brother give me a favor?"
The man was unmoved and just asked bluntly, "What do you want?" After he finished speaking, seeing that Li Fugui was hesitant and unwilling to speak, he moved the muzzle of the gun forward a few inches, while holding the trigger with his index finger, and warned unhappily, "Mr. Meng has no time to see you. If you have anything to say, it's the same if you tell me."
Li Fugui came here on purpose, and endured the search by the gatekeeper at the community gate, just to see Liu Meng in person and tell him the news. But when he got here, he found that the people here would not let him see Liu Meng!
After realizing this, he was very upset. If he had known this, he might as well have told the guard the news directly! As a result, the things were gone, and even the credit was taken away by others!
The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at his heart. He didn't dare to resist at all and said obediently: "I... I said, this is what happened. I just found a big fat sheep outside! So I came here to tell Master Meng the news!"
"Oh?" The man holding the gun's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested. "Go on, who is this person? Can you tell where they are from? Are they from outside, or from another safe zone?"
There is not only one safe zone in the old city, there are several others, but they are all very small in scale and cannot be compared with the one occupied by the military in the suburbs outside the city.
They had been in the old city for a few days and knew something about the people in other safe areas. This man asked this specifically, and it was obvious that he had already thought about robbing them, but he was worried that it was people from other safe areas and would cause unnecessary trouble.
Li Fugui also knew some of the inhumane rules here. He smiled obscenely and said, "Don't worry, I've seen it all. It must be from outside. That car is so beautiful! It must be a fat sheep!"
The man with the gun's eyes lit up even more. He couldn't wait to ask, "Are there many of them? Do you know what their strength is? Are there any people with special abilities among them?"
Li Fugui is an ordinary person who cannot sense energy fluctuations, so he naturally has no idea whether the other party has superpowers. He recalled for a moment, and a vicious thought flashed through his mind, saying, "Two off-road vehicles and two heavy motorcycles, all of which are good brands. You can tell at a glance that they have excellent performance! I can't see the people in the car, but I think there shouldn't be many people. There's a pretty girl riding the motorcycle, who looks like a movie star!"
He paused here, rubbed his hands, laughed a few times, and winked at the man with the gun. The man's eyes also became hot, luxury cars and beautiful women, he liked this combination!
Li Fugui looked at the fiery look in his eyes, feeling more and more proud, and continued: "I don't know if there is a person with superpowers, but even if there is, so what? As long as Meng Ye takes action, it will be easy to capture him!"
The man with the gun nodded, agreeing with his statement. The man asked more urgently: "What else did you see? Do you know where they went?"
Li Fugui had already seen it, and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I have seen it all. Judging from their direction, it seems that they are heading towards the ruins in the commercial street."
The man asked some more questions, and when he saw that he couldn't say anything, he said, "Okay, go back and wait. If the news is true, you will get some benefits!"
After saying that, the man ignored him and turned around and strode towards where Liu Meng lived.
Li Fugui knew at a glance that his contribution was gone. He felt depressed and uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, he decided to stay here and wait. If Liu Meng came out, he would volunteer to take the initiative. Otherwise, he would really lose both his wife and his army!
Soon, an SUV drove out. The car was driving very fast, and Li Fugui didn't dare to stop it. He just waved his hand and shouted, "Meng Ye! Meng Ye!"
The car stopped quickly, the door opened, and someone shouted at him, "Get in!"
Li Fugui was delighted and rushed to the car. When he got on, he found that there were no seats left. Liu Meng took up two seats and showed no intention of giving up his seat. He had a cigar in his mouth and a pistol in his right hand. He squinted his eyes and looked down at Li Fugui, asking, "Is that the fat sheep you saw?"
Li Fugui had no chair, so he could only sit on the blanket pitifully, tilting his thin head and smiling apologetically, "That's exactly what I saw, Master Meng, I can show you the way."
Liu Meng looked at him coldly, his sharp eyes seemed to cut into his body like a knife. Li Fugui suddenly felt a little regretful, he suddenly felt that Liu Meng in front of him was a ferocious tiger, he could not provoke him at all!
The feeling of regret only stayed in his heart for a short moment, and was soon replaced by greed and ambition. Compared with the danger of Liu Meng, he cared more about how much benefit he could get from following Liu Meng!
He was fed up with this kind of life of being bullied and living in fear. As long as he could use this incident to please Liu Meng, he would be willing to do so even if it meant being a dog by his side!
Li Fugui had an idea in mind, and he pointed the way conscientiously. After the car left the community, it turned a few times in the alley and soon arrived at the place where Li Fugui first met Fang Yuxin and others.
Li Fugui pointed in a direction and said excitedly: "That's it! They went that way!"
Liu Meng glanced in another direction and couldn't help asking him, "Did you see which direction they came from?"
Li Fugui was puzzled, but he still pointed in the direction Fang Yuxin and the others came from. When he pointed, the expressions of the other people in the car changed.
Liu Meng asked the people around him: "Is the third brother doing business over there?"
The man nodded and said, "It seems that these people are lucky that they didn't run into the Third Master. Otherwise, there would be no need for you, Master Meng, to take action!"
Liu Meng narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction suspiciously, feeling a little uneasy. But he thought about the strength of his men and felt that he was overthinking. Although the third brother was not as strong as him, he was also a very capable person. In addition, he had a gun and brought a lot of people with him. Unless they met someone from the military, who could be their opponent?
This old town is remote and there are no celebrities living here, so it is impossible for the military to reach out so quickly.
Thinking of this, he calmed down. He had been practicing most of the time these days, but he had encountered a bottleneck recently. He had a hunch that as long as he broke through this bottleneck, his strength would be able to reach a higher level. But he couldn't break through this bottleneck no matter what, so how could he not be anxious?
So after hearing the news, he decided to go there in person. Didn't the novels say that one can't just practice? If the protagonist encounters a bottleneck, can't he advance by fighting?
From the end of the world to now, Liu Meng's luck has been good, which subconsciously gave him a sense of mission and pride. He thought he should be the protagonist in the novel. If he follows the plot in the novel, he will definitely be able to dominate the world in the future!
Thinking of the passionate novels he had read before, Liu Meng became more and more excited, and the uneasiness in his heart was thrown away to the sky.
This good mood lasted until they approached the ruins.
The ruins here were badly damaged, but despite this, some people still came here to look for supplies. At first, no one came, but after searching for supplies in other places, the survivors had no choice but to turn their attention to this ruin.
This is a commercial street with many shops and supplies. Unfortunately, they are all buried under bricks, so it is not easy to find them.
After Fang Yuxin and the others arrived, they were unable to store the car into the space because there were other people there, and they could not drive inside the ruins, so they had to split into two teams. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang rode their motorcycles directly in, while the others found another way and searched for Yuanshi around the ruins.
When Liu Meng arrived, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang had already rushed into the ruins on motorcycles, but the remaining two off-road vehicles were extremely eye-catching.
The driver drove the car straight over, with the black muzzle of the gun sticking out of the open window, aiming at the two SUVs.
Liu Meng looked at the two SUVs greedily and warned, "Everyone be careful! If anyone shoots recklessly and damages these two vehicles, I will skin him alive!"
At this point he frowned and shot an unhappy look at Li Fugui: "Didn't you say there were two more heavy motorcycles? Why aren't they there?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Fugui was so frightened that his face turned pale. He looked around in panic and finally found some traces. He quickly pointed at them and said, "Look, Master Meng, those tire tracks should be left by the two heavy motorcycles. They must have gone inside! As long as we catch these people outside, I'm afraid they won't surrender!"
Liu Meng took a closer look at the tire tracks and felt that what he said was probably correct, so he said, "That's better!" Then he waved his hand and followed the person who was talking.
The man understood and shouted to the people in the SUV, "Listen up, everyone in the car! I've got my eyes on your car. If you don't want to die, get out and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame the bullet for not having eyes!"
He smiled triumphantly, but at this moment, he heard the sound of an engine coming from behind. He wondered why someone else was coming.
Not only him, but everyone else in the car was confused. They turned their heads vigilantly and saw two more off-road vehicles coming from behind.
I'm so hungry, I'm crying.
