Chapter 334: Backstab from Qu Baoguo

Will it be like a game, where the cannon fodder is cleared, then the boss spawns, or will it end once the cannon fodder is dealt with?

Liang Yu was very much looking forward to what would happen next.

He had now brought over the main General-purpose Star Destroyer and was continuously sniping at the Zerg that rushed out. At the same time, he also dispatched three hundred military drones from the RV to reinforce the area.

He was now prepared for a war of attrition. Liang Yu wasn’t flustered; his ammunition was sufficient to sustain him, he just didn’t know if the Zerg had that much cannon fodder to throw away.

On the other side, at Brother Wu’s encampment.

They weren’t dead men; the commotion Liang Yu caused in the city area naturally woke them up from their sleep.

Listening to the explosions from afar, all the Survivors began to worry. Even Brother Wu, who had experienced many trials, was startled by such a display.

Among the crowd, only one person knew what was going on, and Liang Yu’s actions this time confirmed something for Qu Baoguo.

Looking at the dozens of Survivors on his side, Qu Baoguo fired a shot upwards, quieting the noisy crowd considerably, though some murmurs remained.

Qu Baoguo didn’t bother with much else; he summoned the previous twenty-four people, had them fully armed and on standby behind him, and also sent someone through the tunnel to the other side to contact the more than three hundred Survivors, bringing over those who wished to join.

This time, Qu Baoguo didn’t discuss it with anyone; he alone decided to do something big.

However, he didn’t know that his actions were being watched by Brother Wu and Brother Wu, who were secretly hiding nearby.

Brother Wu was completely confused; he couldn’t guess what Qu Baoguo wanted to do, perhaps it was just a simple recruitment of personnel, which was a secondary discovery.

But Brother Wu saw through some of it, especially if he had seen Qu Baoguo receiving ammunition supplies, he would have understood three-tenths of it.

On the side of the more than three hundred Survivors, after hearing the roar of artillery, they were like startled birds; if it weren’t for the sun already rising and the scorching sunlight cutting off their escape route.

Among these three hundred people, at least half of them would have left this place.

There was no way around it; this place was truly terrifying. They were like trapped beasts, facing what they had to face, but the unknown was often the most frightening.

For a time, these more than three hundred Survivors all had different thoughts, but one common point was that they didn’t want to die, they didn’t want to stay here and wait for death.

Some people even started to suspect; what did he suspect?

He suspected the purpose of Qu Baoguo and his people luring them here.

He suspected whether this place was a safe haven, as Qu Baoguo claimed.

He suspected whether Qu Baoguo and his people had already surrendered to the monsters, and they were the welcoming gift Qu Baoguo offered to the monsters.

Once the seed of suspicion is planted, it will take root and sprout. The current environment is the best nourishment for the seed.

In such an atmosphere, those Survivors kept making up scenarios, perfecting the situation according to their own thoughts and will.

Eventually, a portion of people believed that Qu Baoguo’s place was a demon’s den, so these people stepped forward, urging other Survivors to leave quickly at night and go to the Survivor base.

Under their instigation, approximately seventy Survivors believed what they said and decided to follow them to the Survivor base that night.

At this time, the person sent by Qu Baoguo arrived here, looking at the sixty or seventy Survivors gathered together. He was a bit confused, but he didn’t forget his mission; he told these more than three hundred people about the situation and waited for their choice.

Excluding the seventy misled Survivors, over one hundred eighty people followed Qu Baoguo, while the remaining forty to fifty people decided to continue observing.

The more than one hundred eighty people orderly came to Qu Baoguo’s side through the tunnel.

Qu Baoguo was also a little excited to see so many people brought over. Just as he was about to walk to the front of the crowd, an old, shriveled hand patted him on the shoulder.

Qu Baoguo turned his head and saw it was Brother Wu. While he was still wondering, he heard Brother Wu speak.

“Although I don’t know what you want to do.”

“But I, this old man, have decided to join you for a round. Do your thing, I’ll handle the rest.”

With Brother Wu’s words, Qu Baoguo felt he had a seventy percent chance of recruiting these people.

And the affiliation of these recruited people would be under Liang Yu’s name; in other words, Liang Yu would be their leader.

It’s not that Qu Baoguo thought too much; after all, from Qu Baoguo’s perspective, Liang Yu was truly good to them. Just the two times he supplied firearms and ammunition, it was clearly an excuse to give them things.

Then, by this morning, he didn’t even pretend anymore, directly asking, “What do you want? I’ll give it to you.”

The key was that he really gave it, and he gave two portions at once.

Furthermore, he had just mentioned the Underground People to Liang Yu this morning, and less than half an hour after their call ended, Liang Yu launched a clear-out against them. If it wasn’t for these Survivors, then what was it for?

Therefore, Qu Baoguo decided to recruit everyone with Liang Yu as their leader, so that he could repay Liang Yu’s kindness.

If Liang Yu knew about Qu Baoguo’s self-imagination and idealization of him, he didn’t know if he would be so angry as to vomit blood. This was truly Qu Baoguo’s unrequited affection.

But Qu Baoguo was completely unaware. He went to the second floor of the factory building, looked at the more than two hundred people below, and began to instill in them the deeds of Liang Yu.

And their background music, the constantly booming artillery fire, was the iron proof of the deeds Qu Baoguo spoke of, leaving the other party no excuse to refute.

After all, they had all heard the artillery fire for a long time. For them, having such a powerful person as their leader was a great thing.

But despite this, someone still raised a doubt. This Survivor stepped forward and questioned Qu Baoguo in a demanding tone.

“Even if what you say is true.”

“But how do you prove your relationship with that esteemed person?”

“And how do you prove that we are subordinate to that esteemed person!”

These were also the questions the Survivors present wanted to know. After all, things aren’t just whatever you say they are; you have to provide evidence to convince people.

Hearing these questions, Qu Baoguo’s smile was harder to suppress than an AK47. Was this questioning?

This was clearly a pillow delivered when he was sleepy. He wanted to see who it was that was so helpful.

When he saw the Survivor who questioned him with an unfriendly tone, he immediately understood what was going on. This move was arranged by Brother Wu; this brother, he knew, was one of his own, a confidant of Brother Wu.
