Chapter 131 Invasion

The driver and the co-driver got out of the car first.

Annan looked closely and saw that they were the two bodyguards guarding the door whom she met when she was walking the dog.

The two bodyguards walked to the back seat and opened the rear doors on the left and right.

Two men, one tall and one short, came down from inside.

The tall one was muscular, with colorful tattoos all over his right arm. The short one was skinny and weak, with a shrewd look on his face, and he was holding a walnut in his hand.

Annan watched as the two men and their bodyguards slowly walked to the center of the crowd and stood on the platform in the middle of the square.

I guess these two people are Hou Jianming and Zhu Dazhuang.

She carefully observed the two people's positions and found that the shorter and thinner one was standing closer to the front and looked more relaxed.

The tall and strong one stood half a step behind him, with his hands clasped in front of his abdomen. His posture was somewhat similar to that of the bodyguard behind him.

It seems that they all respect the short and thin one.

Annan narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the tall muscular man with tattoos at the back is the second-in-command Zhu Dazhuang.

She remained expressionless and silently memorized his appearance.

Hou Jianming on the stage put the walnut into his pocket, took the loudspeaker handed to him by his subordinate, and cleared his throat.

He apologized right away and was very approachable.

"I'm sorry I woke you all up when everyone should be getting ready for bed. It's an emergency."

"Just now, a group of shameless robbers broke into our home, attempted to steal our supplies, and killed many people in our base."

"Brothers, if it weren't for the brave outlying residents who stopped them, we would be the ones with our heads and bodies separated now!"

Annan sneered in his heart.

What heroic outer residents? It was obvious that he had treated those people as targets from the beginning and used them as shields for the core members of the inner bases.

Hou Jianming was very good at stirring up emotions, and after he had spoken just a few words, the crowd became excited.

"What? How dare you steal our supplies?"

"Where are they now? Have their supplies been stolen?"

"This bunch of bastards! All of them shall die miserably! We must avenge our dead brothers!"

In fact, no one really cares about the lives of those residents living in the periphery. What they care about is that someone is trying to steal their supplies and their good days of having hot meals.

They care more about their own lives. If this group of robbers were able to rush in and kill the residents outside today, will they be able to kill them next time?

Seeing that the crowd below was already getting agitated, Hou Jianming raised his lips in satisfaction and continued:

"We have already found out the identities of these robbers. They are from the Dragon and Tiger Base!"

He winked at his men, who left immediately and soon returned with a group of people.

I saw a group of middle-aged men covered in wounds, being escorted over here tied up.

The people who were escorting them walked while looking around curiously.

Hou Jianming pointed at the tied-up man:

"These are the wretches who broke into the Dragon and Tiger base. In addition to those who were captured alive, some were killed on the spot."

Then he pointed to the person in charge of the escort:

"These are our brothers from the outer circle. They are quite powerful and have made great contributions in arresting criminals. They have been promoted to inner circle residents. They will be our neighbors from now on!"

The group of people immediately became excited, and even the hands that were holding the people increased their strength.

I have heard for a long time that residents in the inner area will have meals delivered to their homes, including delicious fish and meat, and drinking water will be provided every day. If the task is completed well, there will be additional rewards.

Now that’s great, after all their efforts, they have become inner-city residents!

Annan looked at them and saw that they were ready to fight for the base owner with all their heart and soul, and thought that Hou Jianming was really born to be a leader.

Not only did he naturally recruit all the capable fighters for his own use, he also won the hearts of the people and coaxed them to work for him more actively.

She looked at Zhu Dazhuang again, who had a blank expression on his face.

Since this person was chosen by Hou Jianming as his second-in-command, he must have some outstanding qualities and should not be underestimated.

On the podium, Hou Jianming continued to talk:

"Brothers, the people who came to cause trouble have been caught, and now they are handed over to you to deal with! Please do as you please!"

At this time, the invaders had been tied up and forced to kneel in a row.

When the people in the base heard the boss's order, they rushed forward to vent their anger.

Those who had knives took out their knives, and those who had hammers used them, hitting the prisoners in various ways.

The bloody scene stimulated everyone's nerves, and the one-sided sadism made them more and more excited.

In the last days, people are under tremendous pressure to survive, and it is easy for them to develop varying degrees of anxiety and bipolar disorder.

This kind of venting can effectively release the depression and emotions that have accumulated in their hearts.

Hou Jianming looked at the chaotic scene below with satisfaction.

Then, while everyone was excited and ready to kill, he immediately issued new orders.

"It's not enough to just punish these people. We must fight back! Now that they are all asleep, we should take them by surprise and completely destroy that damn Dragon Tiger base!"

Someone immediately helped to lead the rhythm:

"Break it! Break it!"

Soon, the crowd started shouting.

"Break it! Break it!"

Then, led by the second in command Zhu Dazhuang and one of the bodyguards, they set off in a large group.

Hou Jianming stood there with another bodyguard, watching them march off with satisfaction.

However, he soon noticed that there was a man and a woman standing in the corner, not moving.

The woman was holding a dog on a leash.

Annan noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and met Hou Jianming's eyes.

A flash of surprise flashed across Hou Jianming's eyes, and then he walked towards them.

He simply ignored Gu Zhiyu standing beside him, reached out his hand and greeted Annan.

"Is this the new member, Miss An Meili?"

Annan nodded and was about to shake his hand back out of courtesy, but Gu Zhiyu, who was standing next to him, reached out and shook Hou Jianming's hand.

"Hello, Gu Youcai."

She looked up at Gu Zhiyu in surprise.

When did Mr. Gu become so enthusiastic?

Hou Jianming met Gu Zhiyu's eyes, and for a moment it was as if all his thoughts were seen through by the other party, and he forced a smile.

"Oh, hello, Brother Youcai."

The two hands were clasped for only a brief moment before Hou Jianming pulled his hand away.

Gu Zhiyu's hands were white and long, making his hands look like black chicken claws.

And the oppressive height makes me, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, look even shorter.

He stepped back without leaving a trace and continued to look at Annan beside him.

"Ms. An, how do you feel about the base? Are you used to living here?"

Annan nodded: "Very well, thank you for your concern, Boss."

Hou Jianming smiled and said, "That's good."

After a pause, he asked again, "Why didn't Miss An and Brother Youcai go to the Dragon Tiger Base with them?"
