The gang leader's face darkened slightly, but he quickly masked it and met the men's gazes with a hearty laugh. "If you say I am, then I am. I am your lackey. Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Faced with his renewed promise, Jiang Ruan suddenly remembered something, something very important that she had almost forgotten.
This is indeed a gang, but the reason they were able to sweep through the post-apocalyptic world and occupy a place for themselves was because they had an armory with enough shells and gunpowder to annihilate an entire country.
Most importantly, even the military gets its supplies from them.
It's such a waste to kill such a fat fish so carelessly.
“Okay, you’re right. As long as you can satisfy us, we can spare your life.” Jiang Ruan put away her weapon first. She was confident that even if he immediately retaliated, she could kill him instantly.
Seeing this, Gu An also put it away, but his gaze remained unchanged, still exuding a cold and fierce sense of oppression.
Both of them accepted the money. Qingfeng stared at his own actions as he held the gun to the gang leader's head. He paused, almost looking up at the sky in despair, and then complained helplessly.
"Big sister, you say you'll kill, and you say you won't, but do you even have any sense of timing? You're making me feel really awkward."
But he didn't dare. Faced with these two seemingly unpredictable people, the best way for him to get along was to obey them, speak less, and do more.
So he put the gun away.
To his surprise, Jiang Ruan's next words left him dumbfounded.
Jiang Ruan addressed the waiting gang leader, "2000 AK-47 assault rifles, 3000 M1911 (.45 pistols), 2000 Glock pistols, 2000 Gatling guns, 2000 Barrett M82A1 semi-automatic sniper rifles, 3000 Steyr AUGs..."
Before Jiang Ruan could finish speaking, the gang leader's smile froze. He thought she was just talking casually, but he didn't expect her to be serious. A few of these guns would be enough for one person to defend themselves for a long time, and she wanted so many.
He felt that she wanted to empty his warehouse. Although he had about ten warehouses and these only occupied one warehouse, he still felt the pinch.
Noticing the conflicted expression on his face, Jiang Ruan said, "What's wrong? Looks like there's a problem!"
After she finished speaking, Gu An immediately took out a knife and held it to the gang leader's neck, pressing down until blood seeped out.
Normally, even if his arm were broken, this gang leader would just grit his teeth and say it's nothing, without even frowning.
But not now. This is the apocalypse, when zombies appear in hordes. If this attracts them, things will become much more difficult.
So he had to admit defeat when necessary. Faced with Jiang Ruan's request, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Jiang Ruan nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Those were guns. Next, I'm going to talk about artillery shells, especially the kind like the William cannon, which is indispensable."
"What?" The old man leaned back, tugged at his collar, and said bluntly with a reckless air, "I don't have many of these. You don't have anywhere to put them if you take them. These aren't just cannons, they're giant cannons."
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "That's none of your business. Just tell me if it exists or not."
The gang leader sat up straight, looking resigned, and sighed, saying, "Speak, I'm listening."
Jiang Ruan then listed several cannons she had seen in her previous life, "Besides the one just now, there's the K5 railway cannon, the Barbados cannon, the Karl mortar, and the Gustav giant cannon. How many of these do you have?"
The gang leader considered the situation. He did indeed have all of these, but not many, and they were all guarded by designated personnel. Even if he agreed, they wouldn't be able to take them away easily. Those cannons were too heavy to use.
"Not many, basically five of each type. It's because of their large size that these cannons are not in Dongzhou City, or even in China. They are stored in the United States. Even I can only mobilize one or two. There's really no way to mobilize more than that."
The gang leader shook his head regretfully.
It was obtained through a raid on a US arms depot, but it couldn't get out of customs, so it had to be temporarily hidden away.
"One or two units are too few. You're in the US, right? Give me the detailed address, and I'll figure something out myself."
It's no wonder Jiang Ruanxin said what he did; he genuinely knew about the artillery fire in the United States. But he hadn't had time to go and check before he was wounded, and later he never had the chance again, so he kept putting it off.
So the gang leader is right about that.
The gang leader hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Um, if you can really get your hands on one or two, could you spare me one or two? I was just bragging, I can't actually get even one."
Qingfeng chuckled at his words and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Buddy, even at a time like this, you're still bragging. Be careful you don't lose your life."
Gu An, standing to the side, had an inscrutable expression, but his lack of rebuttal indicated that he was also aware of the matter.
Jiang Ruan gave him an inquiring look, and he nodded, thinking it was feasible.
Regardless, I'll agree first and talk about the rest later.
Jiang Ruan received the signal and nodded affirmatively to the gang leader, "Okay, I can agree to that."
Then, she received the geographical coordinates and detailed map information that he handed her.
Jiang Ruan was surprised to see how well he had prepared.
The gang leader saw through it and took the initiative to speak, saying, "I've been trying all these years, but to no avail."
Jiang Ruan thought to herself, "It seems this person is always prepared."
Seeing his sudden drop in mood, Jiang Ruan interrupted him, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I still need you to provide some cannons."
Then, to the astonishment of the gang leader and Qingfeng, Jiang Ruan named some more artillery pieces: the FH77 BW L52 'Archer' self-propelled howitzer, an early version of the 'Thor' artillery module system, the PzH-2000 self-propelled howitzer, the Caesar 155mm self-propelled howitzer, and the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer.
The 'Nora' B-52 self-propelled howitzer, the 'Kleiber' 155mm self-propelled howitzer, the ATMOS 2000 155mm self-propelled howitzer, and the 'Primemus' self-propelled howitzer. Okay, that's about it. What do you think?"
As Jiang Ruan finished speaking, not only did the gang leader's mouth gape wide enough to fit an egg, but even the usually composed Gu An twitched his lips a few times, not to mention the restless Qingfeng.
After a long silence, the gang leader stubbornly charged toward Gu An's knife, but was stopped by Qingfeng.
"Are you stupid? You're asking for it! It's better to live a miserable life than to die!"
The gang leader shrugged. "It doesn't matter. My heart is dead, and I'm no different from a dead person."
Looking at his lifeless eyes, Qingfeng shook his head and clicked his tongue a few times, feeling a sense of empathy.
