The place they described seemed safe, and it didn't look like they had ever starved; perhaps it was true.
The crowd was undecided and discussed the matter extensively.
"You said you've met them in person?" someone who was on good terms with the two asked one of them quietly.
"Yes, delicious food and drinks, and beautiful women with fair skin," the man described vividly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought people here.
In the end, a few people were tempted and willing to try their luck, because maybe the treatment was really good.
They're all risking their lives for their future, so why not go somewhere where the price is higher?
Like a domino effect, as soon as a few people left, a few more apologized to the leader and left as well.
Seeing several more people leave, the leader sighed but did not stop them.
Having just suffered a defeat, it would be ridiculous to talk about loyalty to them in this state.
Moreover, the enhanced darkness prevented him from turning back, leaving him no choice but to remain in the city.
A fairly united group was torn apart in an instant.
Only the leader and his confidants did not leave, because he knew that once he went there, his position would be very awkward.
Let's wait. I'll go into the city again in the morning to earn some event points, and then find a place to settle down in the city.
With their combined efforts, I believe they will be able to live a good life.
Even in dire straits, one must still maintain a certain composure.
The leader went outside and met the people outside.
Upon seeing this, the successful person quickly stepped forward and offered his hand.
After shaking hands, the successful man took the initiative to introduce himself as Meng Ziyi. He said that before the apocalypse, he was a salesman with good speaking skills, and he gradually rose through the ranks. He came here after hearing about the points-earning activity.
After exchanging ideas for a while, Meng Ziyi repeatedly tried to persuade them to join, promising him a good position, but the leader refused on some pretext.
By this time, the leader was disheartened and tactfully asked him to take care of his former brothers.
"Then I won't insist. I wish you a pleasant day!" Meng Ziyi didn't press the matter after failing to persuade him, and offered his blessings before leaving.
After saying goodbye, he left with the newly recruited members.
They arrived in two cars, and there was enough room even if they squeezed in.
The newly joined members left with them, feeling uneasy.
After walking for a while, we arrived at their hideout, a magnificent club.
They weren't bothered by any infected people along the way, as if the area had been taken care of a long time ago.
After everyone got out of the car, they followed Meng Ziyi to the hall. After he arranged for them to sit down, Meng Ziyi happily offered to host a welcome dinner for them.
After waiting for a while, the servants brought out dishes, snacks and wine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; just as the two men had said, the conditions here were indeed quite good.
Especially since the two people at the beginning acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, it made them feel that this decision was wise.
Some of them even felt that if this was the kind of treatment they were being given, it was definitely worth staying here.
The days I lived before were simply wasted.
They all raised their glasses to toast the new leader, and Meng Ziyi readily accepted all the toasts.
Before long, he became too drunk and collapsed on the table, needing to be helped out of the hall.
The remaining original members took over the conversation and continued chatting and laughing with the new members, having a great time.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
The manager gave his subordinate a wink, and the subordinate understood and left the room.
A short while later, his men led a group of women of varying shapes and sizes into the room.
The atmosphere became even more intense after the group of women entered.
In order not to disturb everyone's enjoyment, the person in charge clinked glasses with them a few more times before making an excuse to leave the room.
"Everyone, don't be shy, have a good time!" the manager said, pinching the woman next to him before leaving.
The crowd laughed and watched the person in charge leave, then walked towards the women who had their heads down.
After leaving the room, the person in charge went to Meng Ziyi's room and pushed open the door to enter.
The guards at the entrance seemed used to it and did not stop him from entering.
"Have you kept an eye on him?" Sitting on the bed, Meng Ziyi's gaze was sharp, showing no trace of drunkenness.
"Yes, we've already sent people to keep an eye on it!" The person in charge lowered his head, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Gather the men and follow me," Meng Ziyi nodded and then said.
Before nightfall, the group quietly left the city once again.
A temporary shelter outside the city.
The leader and several confidants were still discussing Meng Ziyi's character and future plans.
Suddenly the door was kicked open, and a group of professionals with murderous expressions escorted Meng Ziyi in.
This time, there was no more gentle smile, only cold eyes and sharp weapons.
With twenty against five, the outcome is self-evident.
The battle ended quickly; after the team was scattered, the leader's side suffered a sharp decline in combat strength.
Meng Ziyi, who had come to persuade the leader to surrender during the day, now wore a different expression. He sat on the only chair in the room and coldly looked at the leader who was still breathing on the ground.
"Why...why?" The leader was badly injured, with a cut in his abdomen from which blood was flowing continuously.
He could only clutch his abdomen with both hands, grit his teeth, and ask in pain.
"No one can refuse to join the Raiders' Alliance. You either follow me alive or you follow me dead!"
Looking at the several motionless corpses on the ground, Meng Ziyi's words reached the leader's ears.
The summer weather was hot, but after hearing him speak, the leader broke out in a cold sweat.
The Raiders Alliance?
It seems that the announcement mentioned it was an alliance of opposing forces.
But why was I being targeted?
They had been very careful the whole way.
The leader couldn't understand it, nor did he have time to figure it out, before Meng Ziyi's men pierced his heart with a longsword.
The leader struggled painfully to his last breath.
After seeing the leader die, Meng Ziyi stood up and muttered an unfamiliar incantation.
After the incantation stopped, the corpses inside the house were moved by some unknown rule, turning into skeletons that stood up and walked behind the caster.
Seeing their leader and others transformed into skeleton warriors, the other alliance members all praised Meng Ziyi's strength.
A smug look appeared on Meng Ziyi's face as he waved his hand and put the skeleton into the dark space.
The group then left the room, and several ravens, having received instructions, flew off into the distance.
Soon after, a group of carrion monsters were attracted by the raven. The smell of blood in the house caught their attention, and they decisively abandoned their pursuit of the raven and turned to go into the room.
A moment later, a chilling gnawing sound filled the room.
Just as the two had described, the alliance's camp was filled with delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful women.
They never imagined that their former camp had vanished.
Inside, spring passion surged, while the moonlight, hidden quietly behind the clouds, seemed unable to bear witnessing the events taking place on this land.
