Chapter 342: Suffer the consequences

At that time, sending people over to inquire was their last chance, but these people chose to wait and see, not cherishing it.

Later, with the addition of over a hundred people, the team expanded significantly, with the number of people already close to three hundred, which also made Qu Baoguo and others give up on the idea of those people.

Now there are too many people, and the daily consumption of living materials is enormous, so currently what they need is no longer manpower, but materials.

Regarding the Survivors who had not joined their group, Qu Baoguo and the others also discussed this issue during their meeting.

Brother Wu’s suggestion on how to deal with them was very aggressive.

In his opinion, as long as they didn’t join them, those people would eventually become enemies.

Instead of letting these people leave, it would be better to kill them directly; with these dozens of two-legged sheep as food, they could last for several days.

The few people present looked at each other when they heard Brother Wu’s words; only Fifth Master thought it was indeed a good idea.

The others felt that this suggestion was not a big problem either, after all, Brother Wu was right about one thing: once they left, they would become enemies to themselves, and being merciful to enemies was being cruel to oneself.

Among everyone, only Qu Baoguo overruled all objections, but considering the emotions of the others, he proposed that he would drive them away himself; if they did not commit dangerous acts and left honestly, then let them go.

If they had other ideas, then they would deal with this group of people according to Brother Wu’s wishes; this was the last thing Qu Baoguo could do.

Although Brother Wu and the others were somewhat dissatisfied after hearing Qu Baoguo’s words, they didn’t say anything, just thinking it was an unnecessary step, and it would be more convenient to just kill them directly.

So those Survivors who were eager to go to the Survivor base and did not cause trouble left safely.

In contrast, the remaining Survivors did not know what they were about to face.

The people they sent had already met Qu Baoguo and explained all their demands, and it so happened that Brother Wu and Fifth Master were also present at the time, discussing defensive fortifications with Qu Baoguo.

Brother Wu, upon hearing those people’s demands, did not get angry but laughed, staring directly at Qu Baoguo, as if to say, ‘Look at the kind of people you’re protecting; they haven’t even joined yet and they’re already setting conditions, a day’s food and drinking water, they really think highly of themselves.’

Fifth Master seemed unsurprised by this, arranging things methodically, and having someone take that Survivor away, while also arranging for a portion of people to stop their work and gather with cold weapons.

Qu Baoguo knew that they were going to make a move against them, but this time he chose not to dissuade them; he had already said it before, giving these people a chance, giving them a way out.

It was these people themselves who didn’t cherish it, and he couldn’t do anything about it, so he simply ignored it and focused all his attention on the defensive fortifications.

Fifth Master was also somewhat relieved when he saw this; he had originally planned to do some ideological work on Qu Baoguo but didn’t expect it to be unnecessary.

Even Brother Wu on the side was a bit surprised; he had originally thought Qu Baoguo would try to argue with them again, but this was good too; Brother Wu glanced at Fifth Master, and the two of them left Qu Baoguo to deal with those Survivors.

Soon, Fifth Master’s side gathered 120 people; at this time, these people were a bit confused, not knowing why they were called.

Fifth Master then stepped forward and had people distribute cold weapons, an action that made everyone present even more puzzled.

So Brother Wu came out to clarify for everyone.

After briefly explaining the beginning and end of the matter, he looked at everyone and asked directly.

“Now someone wants to snatch our supplies, what do you all say we should do?”

“Should we give it to them?”

“Are you willing to hand over your share of supplies?”

Before the people below could answer, Brother Wu spoke.

“They want to snatch our supplies, and we also need to show them how hard our fists are! How sharp our knives are! Whether they can cut off their heads!”

“And I am not willing to hand over my own supplies.”

“I believe you are not cowards either; if anyone is afraid and wants to quit, you can step out and leave now.”

“But you must know, once you leave, it means you have given up your share of supplies!”

After Brother Wu finished speaking, those who were originally wavering became firm; if at first they thought it was the base’s supplies being given to them, they might not have felt anything.

But once it touched their own interests, everyone changed their attitude; their originally indifferent expressions were now somewhat distorted, looking at those people as if they were heinous enemies.

This also achieved the effect Brother Wu wanted; after the mobilization, he led these people to the backup garrison, where over a hundred people surrounded them.

Soon, the Survivors inside realized something was wrong; everyone was holding weapons, looking at them fiercely.

Just as someone was about to step forward to ask what was happening, Brother Wu directly cut a person down with a knife, then raised his knife, pointed at the people inside, and said.

“Charge!”

“Leave no one, deal with all of them for me!”

With Brother Wu’s command, the people he brought rushed towards those Survivors like hungry wolves preying on food.

For a time, shouts of killing and screams filled the entire space. Those Survivors were already outnumbered and unprepared, with only those messy weapons around them; how could they be a match for these people?

The battlefield was almost a one-sided situation, plus Brother Wu and his group already had too many people, basically in a two-on-one state; in an instant, only twelve or thirteen Survivors were left, huddled back-to-back in a circle, barely resisting their attack.

The remaining Survivors still wouldn’t give up; they didn’t understand why the other side suddenly attacked them with deadly force; everything was fine just now.

They had even decided that after getting the supplies, they would join them, but in a blink of an eye, it turned out like this; he was unwilling and shouted hoarsely.

“Why!”

“Why are you doing this to us?!”

But Brother Wu had no intention of answering him; looking at the people around him, one by one, he was a little angry.

He put away the knife in his hand, pulled out a pistol from his backpack, and fired a few shots at the remaining people, instantly disrupting their defense.

Then he looked at the people around him and shouted loudly.

“Charge!”

“What are you still standing here for?”

Facing so many people rushing forward, those Survivors were quickly dealt with under the encirclement of the crowd.

At this moment, the floor of the room was already stained with blood, and Brother Wu snorted, then put his pistol back.
