"We're just going to come straight to their door like this? Can we do that? At least we can come up with a reliable strategy and try to give Qiu Huidong a surprise blow."
In the lobby on the first floor of Blackthorn Company, Yao Shan whispered to Chen Yan beside him.
The eight of them were now standing in the center of the hall, surrounded by several executives from the Blackthorn Company and dozens of low-level thugs who were not even awakened.
These first-level awakener-level supervisors and their thugs are permanently stationed at the Blackthorn Company headquarters. Their main task is to maintain the company's daily order.
Although there is actually no order that needs them to maintain.
As for the other supervisors and thugs, as well as the search team maintained by the company, they naturally patrol inside and outside the camp all year round and perform some relatively simple tasks.
It has never been easy to run a survivor camp of six or seven thousand people.
"What reliable strategy is this? We don't have a regular way of communicating with Blackthorn Company. If we want to find out where Qiu Huidong is, surely the most convenient way is to visit him directly?"
Chen Yan asked back curiously.
Yao Shan scratched his head and said in a daze, "But in the movies and novels I've seen, when it comes to similar things, don't they always make a thorough plan in advance, then execute it step by step, ultimately luring the target into a trap, and then using the trap to eliminate the target?"
Chen Yan was speechless. "Will there be more twists and turns in the process of solving this problem? Although the target who fell into the trap was weakened, its own strength was still much stronger than that of the protagonist and his helpers. With the help of the trap, the protagonist and his helpers had to work very hard and only managed to draw a tie.
Then the target pulls a trump card, unleashing a massive explosion, ideally taking out one of the protagonist's helpers. In their rage, the protagonist pushes their limits, exploding instantly, finally killing the target. Then, they discover the helper is still alive and can be rescued, leading to a happy ending?
Yao Shan was stunned and said in surprise, "Yes, yes! That's right, it seems to be like this! Um... have you seen it too?"
Chen Yan frowned and said, "Is this even worth reading? Aren't all novels and movies where the protagonist saves the world the same cliché? The main thing is... those are movies and novels, not reality. Although reality is often more outrageous and illogical than fiction, reality doesn't need so many inexplicable clichés."
Novels and movies use these tropes to make the plot seem dramatic, thereby attracting the attention of readers and viewers and stirring their emotions. Furthermore, this method can be used to rationally increase the amount of content and reduce the cost of content, which is why all sorts of bizarre operations are constantly being used.
Why are we going through so much trouble? The opponent is just one Level 4, but we have eight Level 4s. With such an absolute advantage in strength, there's no need to think about any schemes or tricks; we can just crush them head-on.
Xu Qinghe heard this and agreed with a smile, "Xiao Chen is right. Even if the Blackthorn chairman is stronger than all of us in a one-on-one fight, we don't intend to engage in a gentleman's duel. If a fight really breaks out, we'll definitely attack him head-on. When we're at the same level, no matter how big the difference in strength is, a one-on-three situation is the limit. We're eight to one, so the advantage is too obvious."
The three of them spoke in a very low voice, and the people from the Blackthorn Company who were standing outside heard it as a whisper and couldn't hear what the three of them were saying at all.
Coupled with the Blackthorn Company's long-standing strong dominance, the company from top to bottom has developed an arrogant attitude, and never believes that the survivors inside and outside the camp can pose any danger to the company.
Therefore, these people just surrounded the small group of eight people, and other than that, they did not show any defensive posture.
At this moment, a clear sound of footsteps came from afar.
Qiu Huidong strode forward and appeared in front of everyone in the small group.
His eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the small group one by one. When he saw Qin Yourong among them, Qiu Huidong was obviously stunned.
But then, Qiu Huidong's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know where the three directors of my company are now?"
Xu Qinghe stepped out of the crowd and came to Qiu Huidong, nodding and saying, "Indeed, we encountered them before on the edge of Qindao City's core area, and their situation looked dire. I don't know what happened before, but there was a massive riot of zombies and mutants inside and outside the core area.
This riot happened so suddenly that everyone affected was caught off guard! The same thing happened to the three directors of Blackthorn. They were besieged by a sudden surge of zombies and mutant creatures. Although they ultimately survived, they were severely injured and were practically on the verge of death.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Huidong's eyes.
After looking Xu Qinghe up and down, he frowned and asked, "Did you rescue them? Where are they now?"
Xu Qinghe bowed slightly and said, "Yes, we did provide them with limited assistance, but their injuries were too severe, and we didn't have any special solutions. We could only settle them down..."
Qiu Huidong was listening attentively when Xu Qinghe had just finished speaking when he suddenly leaned forward and punched Qiu Huidong hard in the stomach!
The other members of the small group cooperated with Xu Qinghe very well.
The moment Xu Qinghe took action, the others immediately rushed towards Qiu Huidong!
Only Bai Han turned around and attacked the Black Thorn Company executives and thugs around him!
Although there were many supervisors and thugs around, Bai Han had a high-frequency sword and could crush them with the strength of a fourth-level awakener, so there would be no problem.
Although Qiu Huidong was alert in advance, he was ultimately too confident in his own strength.
Since becoming a fourth-level awakener, he has never encountered any of his kind who could threaten him near this land!
Even the Brotherhood in the north was able to suppress the Blackthorn Camp only because it had two Level 4 Awakeners. If it were a one-on-one fight, neither of the two Level 4 Awakeners in the Brotherhood would be his match!
Qiu Huidong has always had an absolute advantage in individual strength, so even though he thought he was sufficiently vigilant, he actually still seemed too conceited.
He never thought that the person opposite him who was explaining the situation to him would actually dare to take the initiative to attack him!
What made him even more unbelievable was that the person who took action displayed such strength that he had reached the same level as a fourth-level awakener!
