Although Xiao Ran wasn't a member of the personal guard, he was very intelligent and particularly skilled at socializing. He also had relatives in the villa area, so they weren't afraid of him betraying them.
Besides, Ye Yunyi is also envious of the crops here. There are far more of them than in their villa area. It would be best if this place could become their second base.
So their original intention was to seize this place. They originally planned to take Wang's parents and leave, but seeing the villagers being bullied, seeing the grain covering the mountains and fields, and seeing Shi Zhancai, they couldn't leave so easily.
The reason they didn't use the same methods as those used against Song Ming and his gang, but instead used datura poison, is because they have someone above them that they need to figure out.
Above this is our beloved country and party, or rather, the so-called "party." China is too big. In normal, peaceful times, the policies from above are completely different when they reach the lower levels. As the saying goes, "When the country prospers, the people suffer; when it falls, the people suffer."
Although Wu Bohu and his ilk seemed so abnormal, we can't immediately dismiss the idea that they weren't truly part of the "Party." Fortunately, Wang Zixiang and Wang Zichao had spent a few days with Wu Bohu and had pretty much figured him out.
This so-called "higher-ups" are waving the banner of the Chinese government, but all their policies and practices lack the style of the Chinese government in the past. They are no different from the fraud groups in northern Myanmar.
Wu Bohu's superior was a man named Director Zhuang. Every week, Wu Bohu had to report to his superior. Every Monday, Wu Bohu would compile a report on the situation and have his subordinate drive up to deliver it. Every month, Wu Bohu had to personally go to City C to give a report.
Wu Bohu and his gang were originally outlaws, ruthless but nearly illiterate. So when they met Shi Zhancai, who was somewhat educated, they took him in, entrusting him with important tasks and trusting him.
But after Wang Zixiang helped with the report last time and received praise from his superiors, Wu Bohu immediately abandoned Shi Zhancai. Previously, despite numerous reports, he had never received a single compliment, and was even occasionally criticized.
With Xiao Ran joining Shi Zhancai's side, they quickly won over 10 people. These 10 people were actually all at the bottom level, not valued by Wu Bohu, and did so-called hard and tiring work, without getting much benefit.
Later, they recruited 10 more people, mainly because they were unwilling to stay in this village where they had nothing. They weren't afraid of zombies, but they were afraid of boredom and desolation. They were angry just thinking about the elderly people who had half their bodies on the yellow earth every day.
With this, Shi Zhancai now had more than 20 men, and Wu Bohu also had more than 20 men. They were evenly matched, and it was time for the fight to begin.
However, an opportunity still needs to be created.
When Shi Zhan was developing his business, Wang Zixiang and the others helped him cover it up, but now they were going to show him everything. Wu Bohu slowly began to realize that something was wrong.
Shi Zhancai remained respectful in his presence, but he almost never fawned over or clung to him anymore. Moreover, he treated his subordinates and the rural people excessively well, as if he were trying to win their hearts.
The lackey beside him had changed to that shifty-eyed dog, and there was also an unfamiliar face, whose name seemed to be Xiao Ran. Wasn't Xiao Ran Wang Zixiang's friend?
That day he drank too much. When he went outside to pee, he heard his men talking about whether it was better to follow him or Shi Zhan. This made him so angry that he shot those two lackeys dead.
What's the point of keeping disloyal people around?
From then on, he targeted Shi Zhancai, picking fights with him from time to time. Wang Zixiang also sided with him, making Wu Bohu feel that he was doing the right thing. A wolf in sheep's clothing like Shi Zhancai needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Shi Zhancai also sensed something was wrong. He originally wanted to prepare for a while, but on the 10th day after Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang arrived, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
That night, he sent Gouzi and his men to the armory to move weapons. Originally, there were his men in the armory, but Shi Zhancai and his gang had already taken a lot of ammunition and weapons. Now, when they were moving all the weapons, they were trying to leave Wu Bohu powerless to fight back. But just as they finished packing, Wang Zixiang arrived with Wu Bohu.
Actually, the armory didn't have many weapons, just some guns and bullets. It wasn't needed to deal with these villagers; it was mainly for defense against neighboring villages.
The three men who came to move the weapons and the one guarding the armory were caught on the spot. Seeing the armory missing many weapons, Wu Bohu was furious. He fired several shots, killing four more.
Great, I took down 6 of them myself.
Soon Shi Zhancai also learned of the news, and he led his men to attack. Since they had already torn off all pretense of civility, they had no choice but to fight; it was a life-or-death struggle.
Soon, gunshots rang out throughout the village. The villagers quickly closed their doors and hid at home, not daring to go out for fear of being accidentally shot.
Xiao Ran led his men over and quickly took down several of Wu Bohu's men with a few shots. This gave Shi Zhancai a lot of confidence, and he shouted, "Brothers, fire! Whoever kills Wu Bohu will be richly rewarded!"
Xiao Ran and Wang Zixiang exchanged a few glances and then sneaked to the back.
At this moment, Ye Yunyi, along with Xiao Deng, Liu Jun, Huang Bo, and Wang Zichao, lay in ambush, planning to let the two fight and the third party benefit.
Wu Bohu's men quickly hid in the armory to prepare for a counterattack.
The two sides were evenly matched, with roughly the same number of people and weapons. Whenever one side gained the upper hand, they would secretly try to maintain the balance.
Despite Wu Bohu's usual invincible bravery, he still valued his life in this situation. He hid in the safest place in the armory and shouted, "Fight! Fight them hard!"
Then, when Shi Zhancai was attacked, the output was all in language that needed to be pixelated.
They were inside the house, while Shi Zhancai was outside, putting them at a disadvantage in their attack. Gouzi secretly suggested, "Brother Shi, let's use fire."
Shi Zhancai thought it made sense, so he asked someone to get a bucket of oil and threw it over, and then lit a torch and threw it over as well.
The fire burst into flames in an instant.
It doesn't matter if the others die, but Wang Zixiang is still inside. We can't let him get hurt.
"Damn it!" Wu Bohu cursed. Luckily, there were windows in the house. They took the weapons they had already packed and climbed out the window to have a head-on confrontation with Shi Zhancai's men.
The armory was a large brick and tile building, but it was surrounded by firewood, which would catch fire and soon the whole building was ablaze.
But no one had time to worry about the fire; everyone was desperately trying to defeat the other side.
While the enemy was locked in a stalemate, Ye Yunyi and her group would fire a few shots, eliminating several enemies. Some who were killed but not headshots turned into zombies, biting those nearby and consuming another wave. In the end, Wu Bohu was left with Wang Zixiang and two guards. Shi Zhancai was left with Gouzi and Xiao Ran.
At this moment, Ye Yunyi and her group made their grand entrance.
These past few days, Ye Yunyi has been quiet and reserved, like a timid and clueless housewife without any opinions of her own.
He made a dashing entrance, clapping his hands and saying, "What a dog-eat-dog show! Tie him up!"
