In less than two hours, Zhang Lin brought me, Zhou Liang, and the truckload of goods to our new residence in the central town.
When we arrived at our new place, Zhou Liang and I got out of the car and were shocked.
Because this neighborhood wasn't as safe as I had imagined.
Calling this a residential area is a bit of a stretch; it's actually a tourist resort with mountains, water, villas, and hotels—a very beautiful environment.
In addition, the entire resort is surrounded by concrete walls. A closer look reveals that the concrete walls, which are more than two meters high, were recently erected.
Building a house might be difficult for people in the central town, but erecting a cement wall is not a problem for them. As long as they have cement and bricks, they can easily get it done.
Zhang Lincai said with a smile, "How about it? The environment here is nice, isn't it?"
We followed Zhang Lincai into the resort and said, "The environment is indeed nice, but is it really safe here?"
Zhang Lincai said, "Don't worry, it's very safe. As long as there are enough people here, there will be people on duty 24 hours a day to keep an eye on the surroundings. If anything happens, they will immediately send a signal, and everyone in the resort will know. Besides, the surrounding cement walls are very thick. I've tested them, and bullets can't penetrate them, so it's still very safe inside."
I didn't say anything, and Zhou Liang followed silently to the side.
We followed Zhang Lincai into the resort and saw several villas by the lake, as well as a long corridor extending into the lake.
Zhang Lincai said, "When the zombie outbreak happened, this place was under repair, so there were no corpses in this lake. There are a lot of fish in it, so we don't have to worry about eating fish."
"Hmm." I looked at the clear lake surface and suddenly felt that this place was a paradise.
Zhang Lincai continued, "Do you see that open space on the east side of the lake?"
I glanced over and exclaimed, "I see it! Is there something over there?"
Zhang Lincai smiled and said, "We just cleared that area and plan to plant rice there to see if it will work. If it does, we will expand the planting area. After all, it's no longer realistic to find supplies from outside. No matter how much food we find, it will eventually run out. So, rather than being so dependent on resources, it's better to find a way to be self-sufficient. That's the most important thing for a group to develop."
I have no objection to this; Su Mu had already done this in Jiajiang a long time ago.
Zhang Lincai told us a lot about the resort, and in the end we were put into a villa.
Zhang Lincai said to us, "This villa is my private property. Anyway, there are enough rooms here. You can stay here for the next two days. If you need anything, just come and find me. We will go back to the central town the day after tomorrow."
"No problem, just let me know if you need any help," I said.
Yes, it will.
After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he left the villa.
I went into the villa’s hall, sat on the sofa, and looked up to see the clear lake outside.
Zhou Liang pulled out two bottles of beer from somewhere, opened them, handed them to me, and asked, "So, did you remember the way when you came here?"
I glanced at him; he took a sip of his drink.
I said, "I've got it. What's wrong?"
Zhou Liang said, "It's nothing. I was just wondering when you would leak the news about this place."
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Liang chuckled, "What else could it mean? This place is a new residence prepared by the central town. If the central town really develops, it will only get better and better in the future. As for the other teams around, they definitely won't be able to compete with the central town, especially after the raiders join the central town."
I said, "So, what exactly do you want to do? You set up a situation where the people of Central Town and the raiders fought each other. I thought it would have some effect, but two days have passed and there's still no news. I really don't understand what your purpose is in doing this."
Zhou Liang said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I'm just doing this as a precaution. As for the next plan, if you really want to know, you have to agree to one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
Zhou Liang said, "Before we discuss this condition, let me ask you first: what are your reasons for wanting to destroy Central Town?"
I frowned. "Didn't I already tell you that?"
Zhou Liang said, "I forgot, say it again."
I rolled my eyes. He certainly hadn't forgotten that he was probably testing me. All I could say was, "Someone in Central Town killed my friend, and I have to take revenge."
Zhou Liang asked with a smile, "Who killed your friend?"
"Ye Cheng".
Zhou Liang said, "So, actually, in the entire central town, only Ye Cheng has a grudge against you. The others don't have any hatred towards you, right?"
I was taken aback. "So what?"
Zhou Liang raised an eyebrow. "Given your personality, if you really have the chance to get revenge, you'll definitely only kill Ye Cheng. As for the other unrelated people, you definitely won't kill them. Am I right?"
I didn't respond because I was struggling internally. I was determined to kill Ye Cheng, but as for the others, I really couldn't bring myself to do it. They had no grudge against me, so I had no reason to kill them.
But if I really kill Ye Cheng, Ye Qian will definitely not let me go.
Zhou Liang said, "In that case, your idea of destroying Central Town is untenable. So do you think I need to tell you my plan?"
I frowned, very unhappy.
Zhou Liang said, "My purpose in coming here is to control Central Town, not to destroy it. Central Town is still very useful to me, so I have no need to destroy it. Therefore, if you want to know my plan, you'd better agree to it."
"What did I promise you?"
Zhou Liang smiled, stood up from the sofa, took a sip of beer, and said, "Promise me that after I avenge you, you'll leave Central Town and go back to your research institute. I won't bother you then, and I hope you won't bother me either. As for our grudge, we can settle it later, okay?"
I sneered, not believing what he said. "I have a feeling that once you take control of Central Town, it will be my death day."
Zhou Liang smiled. "If that's what you think, then I advise you not to seek revenge. Go back to your research institute now, and then take your people and leave the Delta region. As for Ye Cheng, I will help you get revenge, how about that?"
"Not good!"
