Chapter 232: A Ruthless Man Meets Someone Even More Ruthless
Walking in the mine tunnel, Tang Ze suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”
“Ah? My name is Yuan Miao.”
“You’re also from the outside?” Tang Ze asked curiously.
“Basically, everyone here is from the outside,” Yuan Miao said with a trace of nervousness. How could Tang Ze not feel it? After walking so far, with so many people, you just had to pick me to help? You’re simply insulting my intelligence.
Soon, Yuan Miao brought Tang Ze to an empty mine tunnel. And this place was forbidden for workers to enter. There were collapsed pits inside.
Six figures then walked out from the darkness. The one leading was Guo Meng.
“I’m sorry, I have no choice,” Yuan Miao said apologetically, then immediately ran to the crowd opposite.
Tang Ze let out a light sigh. “Gentlemen, what can I do for you, having brought me here?”
Guo Meng said with a smile, “It’s nothing big. I hope you’ll be sensible. There’s a collapsed hole over there. Just jump in, and we’ll be done with this.”
“Since I’m going to die anyway, can’t you tell me the cause of death?”
“Since you know you’re going to die, it’s better for you not to know. Please, don’t make us get rough.” Guo Meng had the air of a gentleman, but his actions were out of place, looking very strange.
Tang Ze scratched his hair and said with a wry smile, “I just wanted to experience life in the apocalypse. Why is it so difficult?”
“You motherfucker! Hurry up and jump! Don’t force us to beat you half to death and throw you in!” an underling roared arrogantly.
“If you all die, I probably won’t be suspected, right?” Tang Ze muttered to himself.
“Brother, my patience is limited,” Guo Meng reminded him finally.
Tang Ze took out a gun and a silencer, slowly rotating it. “Mm, I know. Don’t be anxious. One by one.”
The crowd stared at the thing in Tang Ze’s hand, all dumbfounded.
“How do you have a gun when you just arrived!” Guo Meng’s face immediately turned pale. We’re all shovels, and he has a gun. Isn’t this bullying?
Tang Ze had already attached the silencer and was now loading bullets into the magazine. “You have many people bullying one. Why can’t I have a gun?”
“You actually dared to bring a gun in from the outside! You’re dead! I’m going to report you now!” An underling immediately turned and ran outside.
However, just as he took a step, Tang Ze had already loaded the bullets and shot him directly in the knee. “You’ve all been discovered. Now, please jump in one by one. I’m still very reasonable, right?”
“Ah! My leg!”
“You! You actually dared to shoot!” Guo Meng’s heart raced. He had originally thought he was just trying to scare them with the gun, but he had actually fired.
Tang Ze directly shot him in the head again. “What are you shouting so loud for? The echo is not small.”
The underlings were all dumbfounded. You can’t play like this.
“A few of you, come and throw his body into the pit.”
“Brother Meng, what do we do?”
“Damn it! You two, lift the body as a shield and rush over later. We’ll hold him down together.” Guo Meng wasn’t stupid. He immediately came up with a countermeasure.
The two of them nodded and approached the corpse with trepidation. However, just as they squatted down, with two biu, biu sounds, they were directly shot in the head and fell to the ground.
“You! You don’t keep your word!” Guo Meng trembled with anger.
Tang Ze blew on the invisible smoke from the muzzle. “What kind of credit do I need to keep with you?”
It was the first time Guo Meng had met such a person. He would kill as he said, not giving you a chance to explain at all.
No! I want to explain!
“Big Brother, actually…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tang Ze. “Are you trying to say that it was actually arranged by the man who sent me here?”
“Yes, we’re just goons.” After speaking, Guo Meng quickly gestured to his underlings to speak. Don’t just stand there, all scared silly.
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re all goons. The one who has a grievance should seek out the one who caused it. Don’t kill us.”
“I’m still young. I don’t want to die, Big Brother.”
However, with another two shots, the two underlings fell with their eyes wide open. Only Guo Meng and Yuan Miao, who had brought Tang Ze over, were left.
Yuan Miao had already collapsed to the ground in fear. Although Guo Meng hadn’t collapsed, his pants were already wet with urine.
“Big… bang!”
Guo Meng looked at Tang Ze in disbelief. He never thought he would capsize in a gutter. His copper-bell-like eyes bulged as he fell backward.
Yuan Miao watched as the boss stared at him with wide eyes. Tears couldn’t help but stream down. His whole person was filled with fear.
“Hey.”
As the devil-like voice sounded in his ear, Yuan Miao’s head turned slowly like a machine. He looked at Tang Ze with tear-filled eyes. “Brother, I didn’t mean to harm you, really…”
“Oh, then I didn’t mean to kill you either, really.”
Biu!
Yuan Miao fell heavily to the ground. Is this the consequence of provoking a ruthless person…
Putting away the pistol, Tang Ze didn’t bother with these corpses and turned to disappear into the dark mine tunnel.
Soon, it was lunchtime. A large number of miners walked out of the mine tunnel. Seeing the sunlight above their heads, they all revealed gentle smiles.
Tang Ze was the same. After staying in the darkness for a long time, seeing the light was very comfortable.
“I wonder if they put some chili in the bug cakes today.”
“I think putting some sesame seeds would be nice too.”
“What sesame seeds? They should put cumin powder.”
“Cumin powder is for the powerful to eat. We can’t eat it. They all say it’s the apocalypse, but what’s the difference from before? We’re still the bottom-tier people.”
The crowd chattered, complaining, but they only dared to complain in a low voice. If they were heard by someone with ill intentions, they would be reported directly and punished.
Tang Ze was also eavesdropping on everyone’s whispers.
“Everyone, gather here for roll call,” Xu Hou stood on a platform and shouted with a loudspeaker.
The crowd stood scattered in the central open space.
“Guo Meng!”
After waiting for a long time without hearing Guo Meng’s reply, Xu Hou looked up at the crowd and shouted again, “Guo Meng?!”
“Guo Meng!” Xu Hou shouted. So disrespectful. Not even giving me face in front of so many people.
Just then, someone from below shouted, “Old Xu, Brother Meng doesn’t seem to be here.”
“Brother Meng’s underlings aren’t here either.”
“They must have run off to play. We have to mark them as absent. There’s no justice!”
The crowd complained one after another. It seemed this Guo Meng and his underlings usually bullied them quite a bit, but they were angry and didn’t dare to speak up.
As the roll call continued, it turned out that it was indeed that group of people who were not present.
“You few, go and look in the mine tunnels. The rest of you, hurry up and eat.”
The few people who were called out wore bitter expressions. They must have sent too few gifts usually. Like our Brother Tang, who was already happily going to get his bug cake.
Lining up, everyone got a bowl of rice soup and a bug cake.
From a distance, the bug cakes were red and looked crispy.
Soon, Tang Ze got a bowl of rice soup and the bug cake. On the surface, one could even see the wings and antennae of cockroaches. To be honest, seeing this scene, if one wasn’t a ruthless person, it would be really hard to take a bite.
