Chapter 18: Ambition
Half an hour later. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The team added more than a dozen newcomers on the way, but they still didn't encounter a single zombie or other dangers, which couldn't help but make Wei Hong's heart more and more uneasy.
"Could it be that I am wrong? There are really no zombies here?" Wei Hong frowned, thinking secretly in his heart, but he quickly denied this idea, and when he and Qin Nan were traveling all the way in the afternoon, they passed by five villages, but there was no exception, those villages were empty, and they were weird.
And when he passed by one of the villages, before he even got close to the village, Sadako appeared and stopped him, which shows that there is definitely something terrible hidden in that village.
"I hope it's not what I thought!" Wei Hong thought solemnly, his attention becoming more and more concentrated.
Then.
Whoa!
A cacophony of footsteps came from afar.
"Huh?" Wei Hong's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop!" The team of more than 100 people suddenly stopped.
Suddenly the voices of inquiry came from the back of the line: "What's going on, what's going on?"
Wei Hong didn't answer, but half-squinted his eyes, staring closely ahead, through the sparse moonlight, he could see two figures rushing from not far away, and when they were three or four meters away from Wei Hong and them, they suddenly stopped.
"What a fast speed!" Wei Hong was secretly shocked in his heart, and at the same time, the corner of his eye glanced at Rocco who was rushing back at this time, compared to the two of them, Rocco's speed was obviously much slower.
The two of them glanced at the huge team, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately turned their heads to look at Rocco, and one of the long-haired men stepped forward half a step forward and asked loudly, "You are the head of this team?"
Rocco opened his mouth, and was about to answer, when a tall man rushed out from the back of the team and said in a cold voice: "I am the head of this team - Wu Gaoqi, who are you two?"
"I'm Jiang Xingwen, this is our vice-captain Tong Xiaoman, and I'm also a ground-level powerhouse!" the long-haired man proudly introduced the woman beside him.
"Ground level powerhouse?" There were many exclamations in the team behind Wei Hong.
Wu Gaoyu's face also became a little unsightly at this moment, and he said coldly: "I don't know what the two of you are doing here?"
The woman named Tong Xiaoman took a closer look at Wu Gaoyu, and smiled with a slightly contemptuous expression: "Actually, it's not an important thing, it's just that seeing such a large group of people like you still wandering here late at night, I am very worried about your safety, and we happen to have established a safe camp nearby, as long as the strength reaches the early stage of the human level, we are welcome!"
"Of course, women don't need strength limits to join our safe camp!" the long-haired man added with a smile.
Hearing this, the voices of discussion one after another instantly resounded in the crowd: "They have actually set up a safe camp nearby, and now they finally don't have to wander around." ”
"That is, their vice-captains are all ground-level powerhouses, and the captains must be even more powerful, and the safety of joining their camp is absolutely guaranteed. ”
"It's a pity that my strength hasn't reached the human level......"
Listening to everyone's gossip, Wu Gaoyu's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, how could he not know what the other party wanted to do now, that is, to rob people, and it was women and powerful people who robbed, if those people left, the rest were basically some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and there would be no meaning for him.
But his own strength has only reached the late stage of the human level, and the few companions who are preparing to establish the camp with him are also the strength of the middle stage of the human level, although they may be able to drive Tong Xiaoman and Jiang Xingwen away together, but after a short time, they will inevitably be retaliated by the other party's madness, and even throw their lives here.
For a while, Wu Gaoyu's face was cloudy, and he wanted to drive the two of him away directly, but he couldn't make up his mind in his heart.
Just when he was hesitating, a tall man walked into the crowd, took a young woman's hand and walked out, and said to Wu Gaoyu with a slightly embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, Angkor, I still have a daughter-in-law to protect, so ......"
Seeing that the first brother who betrayed him was still the brother who was ready to set up a camp with him, Wu Gaoqi felt extremely bitter in his heart, but he still nodded and said, "I understand, you can go!"
"En!" The man hugged Wu Gaoyu heavily, then turned his head to look at Tong Xiaoman, and said with a respectful face: "Captain Tong, my name is Tuo Luochen, the strength of the middle of the human rank, I hope to join your camp!"
A smile appeared on Tong Xiaoman's cold cheeks, and he nodded: "Welcome, you will all be your own people in the future!"
With the beginning of Luo Luochen, the originally neat team instantly became messy, as long as the people who were qualified to join, after weighing the pros and cons, they all leaned towards Tong Xiaoman and Jiang Xingwen.
"Wei Hong, what should we do?" Looking at the chaotic crowd, Qin Nanxiu frowned slightly, leaned into Wei Hong's ear and whispered.
"Don't go!" Wei Hong shook his head, his attitude was unusually resolute.
He finally figured out now why Wu Gaoqi didn't find a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack after nightfall, but instead wandered around with such a large group of people, daring to race against time to search for lone personnel and expand his team.
However, from the current point of view, it seems that he is not the only one who has this kind of thought, I am afraid that now the people with a little strength and ambition in the entire Kunshan County have bred this kind of thought, and they have begun to establish their own small forces.
Although they may not be able to make a name for themselves, as long as they can survive this special period, when the empire finds out the situation of the drought and begins to rebuild Kunshan County, even if they can't give them knighthoods, they will definitely get a lot of rewards, and if they manage it properly, I am afraid that even after the crisis is resolved, the power they have built up will continue.
This is definitely an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought by those ordinary human-level powerhouses and even earth-level powerhouses, you must know that in the empire, as long as ordinary people have a little talent and practice diligently, they can basically hover at the level of human-level strength, so if there is only the level of human-level strength, it is difficult to mix up the personal appearance in the past.
As for the earth-level powerhouses, although there will be many power gates in the empire who are invited to join, but to put it mildly, they are still just one of those power gates, maybe they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they can live a life of fine clothes and food, but if they want to stand on their own, not only will they not be able to absorb many members, but they will also be ruthlessly attacked from all directions, and there is basically no possibility.
And now, Kunshan County has completely fallen into a zone without order and rules, which is a good opportunity to stand on its own and realize its ambitions.
