109 I want to thank myself again (1/2)
Due to the commotion, many people were attracted as they wanted to see what was going on up front. Ren Xiaosu told Yan Liuyuan, ”Hide the gun and wait for me here. I'll go and have a look to see what's happening.”
”Mhm.” Yan Liuyuan nodded. Ren Xiaosu could not possibly protect him at every moment, so he would have to learn to protect himself and even the others.
Ren Xiaosu squeezed to the front of the crowd. With his current physical fitness, no one was able to stop him from pushing his way to the front. When he got there and furtively started watching the commotion, he heard Wang Yiheng say ruthlessly, ”I said, hand over your food to me! Can't you understand human language?”
”But I'm very hungry as well,” said the bespectacled middle-aged man who had a gun pointed at his head, choking up. It seemed he had never met someone as fierce as this in the stronghold.
The managers of the various factories, like Wang Yiheng, were actually residents of the stronghold as well. But as they had been stationed outside for a long time, there was always going to be a little bit of unruliness to them.
They were the ”imperial” envoys sent out by the stronghold. Since they were equipped with guns, they had long since gotten used to having things go their way.
By this point, everyone had descended into a world without order. As such, they started behaving like wild animals. But just some time ago, this fellow wanted to kneel down and beg Luo Lan to take him along with them.
Wang Yiheng said to the people beside him, ”Search him and those two fatties next to him too. Their pockets are bulging!”
The people standing with Wang Yiheng were his workers at the sand plant, so they were used to carrying out his orders. As he had a gun with him during this time, and because he had promised to help them get settled upon reaching Stronghold 109, Wang Yiheng became the mainstay of this group.
But to carry out a body search on the stronghold residents? How would they as refugees dare to do something like that?
Seeing these people around him not moving, Wang Yiheng raged, ”What? Are you all deaf to my words now? I have a gun, so my word is law! Search them without worries! They're not armed!”
Ren Xiaosu understood from this statement that there were some gun control laws within the stronghold, which was why Wang Yiheng was so sure the others did not carry any guns.
At a glance, he saw the refugees subconsciously stood on the side of Wang Yiheng. One of the reasons for this was that Wang Yiheng had already made a name for himself in town. The other was because he was carrying a gun.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came to the front of the crowd. ”Wang Yiheng, you had better put the gun down. We won't condone your tyranny.”
”Chief Ma!” Wang Yiheng looked startled. ”What are you doing here?”
Chief Ma sneered, ”What? Did you think that we're all dead? Hand the gun over!”
Gun? Wang Yiheng turned to look at the gun in his hand as if making a decision. Then a cold smile appeared on his face as he raised his hand and fired the gun at Chief Ma.
Bang! Chief Ma fell to the ground in a pool of blood. There wasn't even a chance for him to react. He had not expected Wang Yiheng to shoot!
The people watching the commotion started screaming and wanted to retreat, but where could they retreat to?
Wang Yiheng had hesitated for a moment because he used to live under the rule of Chief Ma. But he soon came around and remembered that Stronghold 113 was no more, so what power did Chief Ma have over him?
Wang Yiheng said in a cold voice, ”Stronghold 113 is no more. When we get to Stronghold 109, everyone will get a fresh start. I'm not a cold-blooded killer, but if anyone disobeys my orders, don't blame me for being unkind.”
