With Zhang Ge's mediation, Huang Shouzu could only leave in a huff, filled with resentment.
The others, finding it uninteresting, also dispersed.
Chuanliu followed behind Brother Zhang, turning left and right until they arrived at a relatively upscale residential area.
Brother Zhang invited Chuanliu inside, closed the door, and shut out several curious glances.
After entering the room, Brother Zhang suddenly smiled and asked Chuanliu with a slightly surprised tone, "What are you doing here?"
That's the tone you use when talking to a friend you've known for a long time; they're not new acquaintances at all.
If Huang Shouzu knew this fact, he would probably be furious.
Chuanliu smiled and casually found a seat to sit down.
She looked around the room; the environment here was far superior to the one she had sneaked into earlier. There was a living room, a toilet, and even exercise equipment.
"You're doing quite well here," Chuanliu said.
Brother Zhang scratched his neck and casually placed the spiked club in his hand by the door. "Sigh, I never thought this day would come when I joined the guard team."
The main city is suddenly locked down, and most of the original guards went to Brother Stick's floor. I happened to get a "Two of Clubs" card, so I settled down on this floor. Having a guard's identity makes life a bit easier.
"Won't this affect your ability to go upstairs?" Chuanliu asked, somewhat puzzled.
The former shook his head, "They'll still call on me if there's work to be done, look."
He tilted his head to the side, gesturing for Chuanliu to look away.
The latter followed his gaze and indeed saw the telephone hanging on the wall.
She raised an eyebrow and praised, "Still being modest with me? There's only one phone per floor in the main city, and this one's in your room. To put it bluntly, you're the boss of the second floor."
Brother Zhang chuckled and lowered his eyes. "Brother Gun'er only let me stay here to lay the groundwork for his influence on the second floor. He's thinking that if we really hold out until the main city opens, he might even be able to advance a few levels as an elder."
Chuanliu nodded and continued, "What are the rules for using the elevator now? The elevator buttons on the second floor seem to be malfunctioning?"
Brother Zhang waved his hand and explained, "Actually, it's not that it can't be used. Right now, only people who still have their ID cards are qualified to operate the elevator, and they can only move around on the floors corresponding to their ID cards, as well as floors with numbers lower than their ID card numbers."
The flow is clear.
Therefore, a "2 of Clubs" is indeed useless to her.
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Then... your revenge plan..."
The Zhang brother standing before me is the same one who decided to stay in Plum Blossom City to avenge his younger brother.
Chuanliu left first and didn't know that Zhang Yi had also gone to Meihua City. It was Wu Fangming who told her the news later.
After joining the Plum Blossom City Guard, Zhang has been lurking in the city looking for an opportunity. His wish is to get close to Hou Yifan and avenge the two Zhangs.
As residents who arrived on the island together and had fought against the zombies together, the two had no trouble conversing. Neither of them tried to hide anything, and the other recounted what had happened after he joined the guard team.
After joining the guard team, Zhang was not immediately given important responsibilities.
At that time, the guard was short-handed. Although they were short-handed, what they lacked were men to clean up the corpses of the zombies, drive away the residents of Plum Blossom City who wanted to approach the main city, and low-level laborers to do odd jobs.
Zhang originally wanted to reach the 9th floor where Hou Yifan was as soon as possible, but he discovered that becoming a member of the guard team wouldn't allow him to see Hou Yifan. His status and position meant he had no chance of reaching higher floors.
Even if there is such a job, Brother Gun will usually go there in person.
Only once, Brother Gun led Zhang and several of his men up to the 10th floor, to the "canteen" there. There, they escorted a group of people with black plastic bags over their heads, their hands and feet bound by chains, and who were constantly restless, downstairs.
The reason why Brother Gun led them up that time was because there were too many people, and they needed to be escorted in batches.
Throughout the entire process, their actions were strictly monitored by Brother Stick, and he did not find an opportunity to explore the 10th floor.
However, on the 10th floor, he saw the person he had always dreamed of meeting—"Plum Blossom 9" Hou Yifan.
At that time, Hou Yifan was talking and laughing with Li Quanyou, the "Plum Blossom 10".
When Li Quanyou escorted him to the stairwell, he saw them escorting someone, so the two of them returned to the conference room.
Since then, Zhang, who was guarding the door, would make a point of observing and discovered that Hou Yifan not only had some connection with Li Quan, but their relationship was even quite close.
He knew about Hou Yifan's criminal record and had once suspected that there was some other relationship between the two. But when he saw Hou Yifan's people frequently bringing Hou Yifan's "newcomers" upstairs, he dismissed this outrageous idea.
It's not necessarily true that the "9" and "10" debate never occurred in Plum Blossom City because those two people are...
No, no.
He did not give up his idea of revenge against Hou Yifan, and he actively participated whenever he had the opportunity to work with Gun'er.
Fortunately, Zhang had been in charge of mortgage collection before arriving on the island, so he knew a little more martial arts than others.
As time went on, he became a familiar face to Brother Gun, and later Brother Gun would give him some tasks that needed to be completed on his own.
After seeing the two men turn into corpses, Zhang Yi knew what the upper echelons of Plum Blossom City were doing. He also vaguely guessed what was going on with those people whose heads were covered with black bags and who were tied up.
So fundamentally speaking, whether it's Hou Yifan or Li Quanyou, they are both just people who go along with the same evil.
Until recently, Brother Gun assigned him a task that needed to be completed by himself.
Brother Gun summoned ten guards and ordered them to go to different houses in the east, west, south, and north of Plum Blossom City to escort several groups of people to the outskirts of other flower-colored cities. Once they had done so, their mission would be complete.
"Once we arrive, we'll inject this into their bodies, and then we can leave."
Brother Gun handed them several sealed syringes.
One eyelid twitched uncontrollably as he stared at the murky white liquid in the syringe.
Brother Gun sighed, took out a "2 of Clubs", and said to everyone, "The person who successfully completes the mission and returns the fastest will get this card. I will send someone to observe your performance."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were full of fighting spirit.
He set off, but unlike the others, he wasn't in a hurry. He took each step with great hesitation because he knew what completing the mission meant.
Therefore, instead of focusing on completing the task, he paid special attention to whether someone was actually monitoring his actions.
Just as he thought, the guard team was already short-handed, and Brother Gun didn't have any extra people to send out. He only told them that because he was afraid they wouldn't follow the rules.
So, the injection was destroyed directly.
