The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 41: Another empty promise...

Lu Yuan and his four companions looked at the truck full of food with smug expressions. Actually, when they were unloading the food, they had already decided not to go back to the safe base with Qin Yuan and the others, so they simply filled the entire cargo box.

"Brother Qin, about that..." Lu Yuan didn't know how to bring up the topic of not going back with Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, since if they both left, it would be even more difficult for these two commanders without any support.

Before Lu Yuan could figure out how to say it, Gu Nanfeng's wristwatch-style phone beeped twice. Normally, since network communication hadn't been restored and everyone was using walkie-talkies, the phone's main function was to play small games, check the time, and act as a calculator or flashlight.

But all five of them knew that Gu Nanfeng's phone could control many of his home's appliances, including his Mercedes-Benz G-Class, even without a network connection. Since there were clearly no appliances from Gu Nanfeng's home here, it meant his phone was connected to his car.

Sure enough, seven or eight more cars drove in outside the gas station, one of which was the G-Class that Gu Nanfeng had given to Ruan Wen. More than twenty people got out of the cars one after another, but they did not see Ruan Wen.

"Boss, you're in luck!" A young man with blond hair got out of their lead car. He looked like an unemployed bum and shook his head with a self-satisfied air.

"Damn, this gas station has a ton of stock!" The other people who got out of their cars didn't hold back either, rushing into the convenience store and starting to move things, completely ignoring Qin Yuan and his group of seven.

However, Lu Yuan and his men had already filled the truck to the brim and didn't care about the other party's attitude. Just as Lin Yun was about to close the truck door, a few people who looked like they were refueling the truck came over.

Those people seemed to have been secretly observing Lu Yuan and his group. Once they confirmed that there were only seven of them, they unceremoniously surrounded them. Although Qin Yuan's truck was old and dilapidated, it was still a large truck. They had actually packed most of the convenience store's items into boxes.

The people in those seven vehicles didn't seem like the type to let them take the food with them.

“Brothers, we are the 0788 Supply Team from the city center base. This truckload of supplies is to be taken back to the base. If you are willing, you can come back to the base with us. The base will arrange food and lodging.” Qin Yuan tried to talk to these people.

"Oh, so you're from the military." Among the dozen or so people who surrounded them, one of them pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and had one of his underlings light it for him. "But do we look like people you can control?"

In the apocalypse, the first thing to be destroyed is social order. Although only two months have passed and social order has not completely collapsed, many people who were previously idle or had antisocial personalities have begun to stir.

"Brother, this isn't a good way to leave it like this." Although Lin Yun was usually a nice guy, he wasn't one to be easily swayed when dealing with these thugs.

"Big brother, there are only 7 of them, and 4 of them are weaklings. Let's not waste words with them, just tie them up and take them away!" The younger brother who lit the cigarette was particularly strong, so he looked down on the seemingly weak Gu Nanfeng, Pei Sihao, Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao. Of the five of them, only Zhong Qiang looked like a soldier, like Qin Yuan and Lin Yun.

Qin Yuan, with his fiery temper, couldn't hold back any longer when the other party was being so unreasonable. For him, dealing with this kind of person meant simply fighting them!

So he and Lin Yun directly demonstrated the ruthless and taciturn style of the People's Army to these dozen or so thugs. The two of them charged in and took down three of them. Seeing that the two of them had joined in, Zhong Qiang also rushed in without hesitation. He hadn't had a chance to fight the zombies earlier, but now he could finally have some fun fighting these thugs.

The burly man opposite thought Yang Xiao looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind and was easy to bully. He raised his iron rod and slammed it at Yang Xiao's head. Yang Xiao reacted quickly, took two steps back, and drew the Tang sword that Lu Yuan had given him. With a "whoosh," he sliced ​​the burly man's three-finger-thick steel pipe in two.

Before Lu Yuan and the other two could even rush over to help Yang Xiao, they saw the tall men who were about to rush over and beat them up stop in their tracks.

In fact, Lu Yuan and his five companions didn't need to intervene at all. These twenty people were a piece of cake for Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, who were experienced in combat. While the group fight on one side was still hesitant, Qin Yuan and Lin Yun quickly reached the smoking so-called boss and took down his two loyal henchmen in no time. Lin Yun then drew his gun and pressed it against the evil boss's forehead.

"B-Big Brother!" The evil gang leader immediately dropped his cigarette, his legs went weak, and he knelt down. "Big Brother, I was wrong...please...please forgive me!"

"Who's your big brother!" Qin Yuan impatiently patted the evil boss's face; the fat face felt quite bouncy when patted.

"Brothers, well... we're out of food too, so..." The gang leader started playing the sympathy card, crying that they were all from the same neighborhood, and many people were starving. There weren't enough vehicles to take everyone from the neighborhood to the safe base, so they drew lots to select these twenty-odd people to find food. They also saw that Qin Yuan and his group only had seven people, so they wanted to act like thugs and drive off with their truck.

"Do you think I'm stupid!" Qin Yuan and Lin Yun were both shrewd people; this group of people didn't look like ordinary survivors who had come out to find food.

"If you want to live, call your men and come back to base with us." Lin Yun poked the evil boss's forehead with his gun again, and the evil boss immediately signaled his henchmen to call for reinforcements.

"Come back to base with us obediently, work hard and the base will guarantee your safety and plenty of food," Qin Yuan said. The base is currently short of labor. Although these people are not good people, there are so many soldiers, command posts and police officers at the base, taking them back won't cause any trouble.

Just as Qin Yuan and Lin Yun were discussing how to deal with the group of thugs, Gu Nanfeng drove over using his phone to operate his G-Wagon. They always did this; they would lose one G-Wagon, but another would come back.

The five men were still happily thinking that they had solved their transportation problem when the henchman, who had been signaled by the evil boss to go and call for reinforcements, suddenly shouted and called over twenty other men to jump into his car. In less than two minutes, they were all driving off.

What's most infuriating is that one of them somehow managed to linger next to Qin Yuan's truck. With a shout, Gu Nanfeng's G-Wagon returned, but Qin Yuan lost a truck...

And a whole truckload of food...

Just when they thought the group was about to abandon their leader and run, a motorcycle came speeding towards them from afar. Despite his burly frame, the leader was surprisingly agile. He jerked his head back sharply, and in the instant his head was out of Lin Yun's gun barrel, he flipped onto the waiting motorcycle and sped away with a flourish…
