[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Chu Liuxiang certainly has a soft side, but he is definitely not a naive virgin. It is difficult for a person who has been in the underworld since he was a teenager to be stupid. He became famous at a young age. What kind of vicious people has he not seen? What conspiracy can be hidden from him? If he didn't have a brain, he would have died eight hundred times.

Besides, the scene before his eyes did not require any brainpower at all. Not to mention him, I'm afraid even Shen Bijun or Lin Shiyin could guess what was going on.

In the end times, there are few people but many zombies. In the dead of night, these people put so much effort into setting up roadblocks. Is it a coincidence? Even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

These people are coming here just for them!

Of course it is easy to guess who it is.

Those who took advantage of the chaos to snatch cars and escape must have fled out of the city early, but they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they lingered in the villages on the highway waiting for an opportunity. When they saw the convoy coming out, they could naturally guess the destination, so they took a detour and ambush in front. It was really amazing that they could think of such a thing!
Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt a fire rising in his heart, as if something was struggling to break out, struggling and shouting - these beasts! Kill them! Kill them all!
But when he picked up the intercom, his voice was surprisingly calm.

"Those are the ones who escaped. They have guns. None of you should get out of the car!"

After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Under the illumination of car lights, those hiding in the fields or on the hilltops can no longer escape.

Dozens of guns were pointed at him.

"Stand there and don't move! Put your hands up! If you move, my brothers up there will shoot at the car!"

As if it was a threat, as soon as the words were spoken, two shots were fired into the air from the top of the hill.

Chu Liuxiang raised his hand and squinted his eyes to see clearly the person who was speaking opposite him.

"Zhang Yangyan."

He originally thought that the people who took advantage of the chaos to rob and plan the carjacking would be the ones he brought back from the government building, but he did not expect that the leader would be Zhang Yangyan.

In Chu Liuxiang's impression, Zhang Yangyan is not a bad person. He was rescued by his third brother in the gym. He usually kills zombies and clears supermarkets. He does the most dangerous work. When it comes to dividing the benefits, he doesn't fight or compete, and doesn't talk much. He looks like a dull person. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing?
Zhang Yangyan cleared his throat and said, "It's late at night, let's stop talking nonsense. You know what we are here for. To be honest, you have contributed the most to the development of our community into a base and the peace we have had for more than half a year. I, Old Zhang, have never been subservient to anyone else in my life except you. But don't forget that I also contributed a lot when transporting supplies. I almost lost my life several times. Even the Lijingyuan community was initially cleaned up by my third brother and me. You picked up a ready-made one. You want to be the boss? Okay, I won't compete with you. We will set up our own territory. So, you give us half of the things, and from now on, we will keep to ourselves. What do you think?"

Chu Liuxiang said coldly: "Not very good."

He took a step forward, and his fierce momentum forced the group of people to take a step back.

Zhang Yangyan and the few people around him didn't dare to get too close. No one knew Chu Liuxiang's ability better than them. At the beginning, they threw stones and wood from the mountain, hoping that if they were lucky, they could smash the car and the man together, or at least separate the front and back cars. They had trained together for so long, and everyone knew each other's strength. It can be said that except for Chu Liuxiang, everyone would be scared if they met someone with a gun. At that time, they could take two more hostages in the chaos, and Chu Liuxiang would not have to be afraid.

Unfortunately, neither of the two roads was passable, and now the cars were gathered together. They had no idea how many people were left. They had guns, and there might be people in the cars too. No one dared to move this time. Zhang Yangyan could only hope for negotiation, and avoid taking action if possible.

Zhang Yangyan could naturally see that although Chu Liuxiang was indeed very capable, he was a soft-hearted person. Even if he was unhappy, he would never kill all of them.

"Brother Chu." Zhang Yangyan thought about it and softened his tone: "You know what the situation was at that time. We all wanted to survive. There was no other way. We have been together for so long. You know what kind of person Lao Zhang is. When it was my turn to work, did I act like a wimp? If I hadn't seen that I couldn't hold on any longer, would I have escaped?"

As he spoke, he became emotional, and his tone was filled with genuine grievance: "If we hadn't escaped, we would have died there by now! You want to be a hero, fine, you can be one, but what time is it now? I just want to save my life, I just want to live, what have I done wrong?!"

Chu Liuxiang was so angry that he laughed at these words. He had seen many shameless people, but it was rare to see someone like this who did shameless things and then tried hard to find excuses for himself.

"You did nothing wrong, but what was wrong with the people who died under your wheels? What was wrong with the people you killed when you were robbing supplies? Was it wrong to stop them? You rushed open the north gate without caring about anything. Did you ever think about how others would survive if the zombies surrounded you from both sides? Do you know how many people died in this day and night?"

"If you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have wanted to pursue these matters any further. But if you wanted to escape, why did you intercept us here? If I hadn't been alerted in advance, wouldn't you have become dead souls under the stone by now? And the remaining women, children, the elderly and the weak, wouldn't you have left them here to fend for themselves?"

Zhang Yangyan's face suddenly turned red under the light of the car lights. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't talk to you! Let the third brother come down, and I will talk to him!"

Chu Liuxiang's cheeks suddenly tightened. Before he could say anything, he heard a car door slam behind him. More than a dozen people got out, led by Xiao Wu, who rushed up like a wild bull. Before Zhang Yangyan could react, he was punched hard in the face.

"You dare to mention the third brother? I'll let you mention it! I'll let you run away! You bastard, I'll fuck your mother!" Then, there was the sound of guns being put on safety.

Zhang Yangyan was stunned, but the people around him were not. They immediately fired two shots into the air as a demonstration. The people led by Xiao Wu had already taken out their guns. Seeing that several more lives were about to be lost, Chu Liuxiang stretched out his body and stood between the two groups, while holding down Xiao Wu's hand.

"They have people on the mountain too. You are sending yourself to die in vain."

Veins popped out on Xiao Wu's forehead, like ferocious dead snakes.

"Too many people have died. I don't want to see anyone die in front of me anymore." Chu Liuxiang took a breath, blinked, and said to Zhang Yangyan, "Don't you want supplies? They're in the car, go and move them."

As soon as he finished speaking, curses broke out.

"Chu Liuxiang, you are a coward! Are you afraid of him? Let's fight him!"

"Give them the things? How can you say such a thing? There are so many of us, and we don't know how long it will take to get there!"

"Where's your energy in forcing us to fight the zombies with a knife? You just want to bully your own people, right? Otherwise, why do they say that the Virgin Mary should be killed first in the end times! I'll shoot you first!"

Zhang Yangyan was also surprised. He thought things were out of control, but he didn't expect Chu Liuxiang to compromise at this time. He immediately became alert: "Tell your people to move, move to the car over there!"

Pointing in the direction of the finger, there were indeed several cars parked in the weeds of the wasteland, including off-road vehicles and Land Rovers.

"move!"

The people Xiao Wu brought were definitely unmanageable. In fact, it took Chu Liuxiang a lot of effort just to hold them down. He picked up the walkie-talkie and called out the names of a few people, all of whom were the kind who had no ideas and just did whatever others told them to do. Then he said, "Move the boxes in the truck. Hurry up and solve the trouble here as soon as possible so that we can rest earlier." The people whose names were called got out of the truck quickly. They opened the truck's compartment with quick and decisive movements and moved down the boxes of mineral water instant noodles that had been stacked inside.

By two o'clock in the morning, the truck was half empty. Zhang Yangyan waved his hand and said, "That's all. I don't want to do anything too extreme. I have to leave some for you."

No matter how honest the movers were, they couldn't help but curse: "It's nonsense to say that. It's obvious that your truck can't hold all the goods! If you want to rob, just rob. Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gun was pointed at his head. One of Zhang Yangyan's men shouted, "Shut up! The few of you who are carrying the goods stay here, and everyone else get in the car. I will let you go after you get out of the way. If I find out that you stop the car midway, I will shoot all of you!"

Chu Liuxiang was the first to return to the car, and the rest of the people had no choice but to do as he said, no matter how much they hated him or how unwilling they were.

The roadblocks were cleared and the convoy was back on the highway.

Sun Wenzhou, who was driving, was rescued from the zombie pile by Chu Liuxiang. Naturally, he was on Chu Liuxiang's side. He was usually a chatterbox, but this time, even he was so angry that he became silent, his face as black as a piece of charcoal.

Chu Liuxiang asked, "Is there any other way to Weijin?"

Sun Wenzhou: “I don’t know!”

Chu Liuxiang asked, "You said earlier that Xiao Wu's hometown is also nearby?"

Sun Wenzhou snorted, "Ask him! I know nothing!"

Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to pick up the intercom and look for Xiao Wu, but the person who spoke was a hoarse female voice.

"He's so mad at you that he doesn't want to pay attention to you."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Please ask him if there is a small road nearby where he can turn around. He will definitely be happy to tell me."

The voice on the intercom suddenly changed to an angry male voice: "Chu Liuxiang, what do you mean?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "You don't want to let those people go, right?"

Xiao Wu yelled, "Nonsense! I wish I could skin them alive! You're going to come back and find them, right? I'm telling you, if you don't take me with you, you better take turns keeping watch when you sleep!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I was planning to go alone, but since you said so, I have no choice but to take you with me so that I can sleep peacefully in the future."

Xiao Wu cursed and shouted, "There's no path around here. Get in my car and let's drive through the field! Damn it, I'm going to kill those bastards myself."

Sun Wenzhou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Chu, are you really going? Can you take me with you?" Just as he was about to stop the car, he turned around and found that there was no one around him!

Sun Wenzhou: “…”

He clearly didn't do anything, so why does he feel like he's holding us back?
……

On the country road, Feng Chenbo drove the car and kept looking at the rearview mirror.

"Yang Yan, do you think Lao Chu and the others will catch up with us? I'm really worried. In fact, when we came out, the food we brought with us was enough. Why did you have to rob them?"

"You know shit! Enough to eat? Enough to eat for a few days? Look at the shops along the way. How many of them have food on the shelves? What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?"

"Think about it yourself! I think Brother Chu and his men are probably going south. It will be hard for them to replenish their supplies along the way. He is very capable and comes and goes without a trace. Where can he not get some food? Can we do it? Instead of snatching it from the zombies, we might as well snatch it from him. At least he won't kill us all."

"How do you know he won't kill us?"

Zhang Yangyan laughed: "If he is willing to do it, we will never be able to leave Lijing Garden. Besides, there are so many people following him. He doesn't want to let his men die just for a little food and drink."

The car turned into a small road and entered Houliang Village. There were not many zombies in the village, so if you encountered one, you would just crash into it. After several turns, the car stopped in front of a large courtyard. There was a corn building outside the wall, which was full of corn.

"Eh? Didn't I tell you to lock the door when you leave? Why is the door still open? You guys are so stupid, do you still want to sleep tonight?"

"It's locked. I remember I really locked it! What's going on?"

A chill suddenly rose up in my heart, and suddenly, a beam of light lit up in the yard, cutting through the inky black night.

Chu Liuxiang emerged from the light.

"Of course it's because I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

At 3:30 in the morning, a burst of gunfire rang out in a remote village, scaring away countless birds.
