Chapter 734 Intelligence
I really didn't expect that the large community would actually send people out to search for the army's whereabouts. It seems that they hate the army to the core. Whether it was the fifty people who ambushed the army before and were all wiped out, or the thirty people who were eaten clean by zombies later, they all caused great damage to the large community.
I reckon they'd love to find some soldiers right now, chop them up, and feed them to the zombies.
But this is clearly an impossible thing.
Looking at the two guys in front of me, I had no interest in knowing their names; I just wanted to get some information from them.
I looked at the two of them and laughed, "Which of you two wants to go first?"
"What? Who goes first?" The one who was less timid seemed unsure of what was going to happen next, so he asked curiously.
The bolder one next to him sneered and said, "I'm telling you, I won't tell you anything. Even if you do this to me, I'll just bite my tongue and kill myself."
I smiled and said, "Bite your tongue to commit suicide? Do you really think biting your tongue to commit suicide is like in the TV dramas, so easy to die? You can try it and see if you can bite off your own tongue. Let me tell you, biting your tongue to commit suicide is the most painful way to die. If you are not afraid of pain, you can end it yourself. Anyway, I don't intend to learn anything from you."
The bolder one was stunned for a moment, then looked at the less timid one and said angrily, "Li Yuntian, you remember this: don't say anything later. If you do, our family is finished!"
Li Yuntian had no idea what to do. He looked at his companion, then at me, and seemed very scared.
I stared at him and said, "Your name is Li Yuntian, right? I don't mean anything by it. I'm going to ask you some questions in a bit. If you tell me the truth, I might let you go."
The person next to him hurriedly shouted, "Don't believe him. You can live as long as you don't say anything, but if you do, he will definitely kill you. He won't let you go."
I pulled out a pistol, aimed it at the guy next to me, pressed the gun against his head, and shot him dead.
Bang!
The gunshot was loud, and the guy died instantly, with a bloody hole in his temple that kept bleeding.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Yuntian was terrified, his face blank with disbelief, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.
I sat across from him, holding a pistol. "I'll say it again: if you don't want to die like him, tell me everything that's going on in this whole community. If you don't, I won't kill you outright, but I'll torture you little by little until you tell me, understand?"
Li Yuntian nodded, but still asked worriedly, "You, you really won't kill me? As long as I tell you what will happen later."
I said, "I'm a man of my word. If I say I won't kill you, I definitely won't."
Then, Li Yuntian nodded and began to recount what was happening in the large community.
He said, "Right now, there are about 230 people left in the community. Boss Li Xun has decided to wipe out that scattered team first, and then find the people who wiped out the army. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we will basically kill everyone."
I nodded, and asked expressionlessly, "How many weapons do you have right now?"
Li Yuntian shook his head, "I don't know about that, because we can't access it. Only Boss Li Xun and the others are qualified to access weapons, but I heard there aren't many left. We suffered heavy losses in the last two attacks, so now we basically avoid using weapons if possible."
I smiled slightly, and then asked the question.
Li Yuntian didn't object at all and basically told me everything about the large community, including the interpersonal relationships. I had no objections and just listened to it like a story.
Finally, Li Yuntian said, "I've finished speaking. Can you...can you let me leave?"
I said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
I smiled and helped him untie his clothes. He stood up from the stool, looked at us, and then turned to leave, but Yu Sheng appeared at that moment and stabbed him in the heart.
Li Yuntian stared in shock at the knife in his chest, then turned to me and demanded, "Why...why didn't you say...you wouldn't kill me?"
I said, "Yes, I didn't kill you. Someone else killed you."
After hearing this, Li Yuntian breathed his last, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng asked, "Aren't we being a little too cruel?"
I said, "If we let him leave, and then let the larger community know where we are, and then let them come and kill us, wouldn't that be too cruel to ourselves?"
Yu Sheng's expression didn't change much. This wasn't the first time he'd killed someone; he was used to it. After his men disposed of the two bodies, things returned to normal on our side.
I stood by the second-floor window, looking at the scenery outside, and said to Yu Sheng beside me, "There's still a week left. I wonder how Pu Weichao is doing."
Yu Sheng said, "Don't worry too much. By the way, now that we know about the situation in the larger community, do you want to tell Pu Weichao about it?"
I said, "I definitely have to tell him, but he said I'm not allowed to contact him for half a month. Let's wait a bit longer. In a week, no matter what the situation is with the third-party team, we'll definitely get news. If Pu Weichao really takes control of the third-party team, it won't hurt for me to go and tell him. But if he fails, even if I tell him, it won't help."
"Yes, I believe he will succeed."
I believe it too.
But whether Pu Weichao can actually do it is another matter entirely.
Judging from Pu Weichao's previous behavior, this matter is very difficult and has a high probability of failure. That's why he doesn't want us to get involved. If it fails, it's easy for him to extricate himself and he can rely on us to make a comeback.
However, the downside is that he can only rely on his own strength to move forward, and he has to rely on himself to overcome any obstacles he encounters. It is very difficult to find a helper.
However, good news never comes too late, and a week passed quietly.
When Pu Weichao appeared at the entrance of the science museum, we knew he had succeeded.
That's what he told us: "I've accomplished my mission and succeeded! Now, the entire third-party team is mine."
