124 Clash (1/2)

Liu Jian furrowed his brows at the young man who laughed rudely after he spoke. Kang Jiayi looked at his friend dumbfoundedly, he never heard a report about this before.

”Then let me ask you a question, old man. What makes you different from a thief?” Tang Shaoyang grinned at Liu Jian. He said that he would not speak but he just could not hold back at how shameless the old man was.

The other two old men looked at Tang Shaoyang, Qiu Shan and Fan De were the other two heads of the camp.

”Young man, we are the military. The world is now in chaos…” Qiu Shan tried to speak but Tang Shaoyang cut him off, ”The world is in chaos so the military now can steal whatever they want to steal? Is that what you are trying to say?” Tang Shaoyang glanced at Qiu Shan.

”Young man, we mean good. With the supplies from you, the military can protect everyone including you. You are the Hero of many people for giving supplies to us. The weapon also can be used to kill the zombie,” Fan De smiled while praising Tang Shaoyang. He thought by praising the young man the thing would go smoothly.

”Fortunately we don't need the military's protection. I don't need weaklings to protect me either, I want my stuff back, now!” He deepened his voice.

”You…” Liu Jian slammed the table, but then he sneered, ”The Military has confiscated everything, you are not going to get anything from us!”

Zhang Mengyao's hand moved to stop her man to escalate the situation further, ”Sir, not only the military who needs the supplies, but we also need the supplies. I hope you can give our supplies back,” she asked them politely.

Meanwhile, Kang Xue signaled her father through her eyes. She signaled him to persuade the other old men to give the supplies. She was starting to get anxious the longer she stayed here.

However, Kang Jiayi was powerless if the three men joined hands. He felt the thing they did was not the right thing to do but one against three, his voice was bound to be ignored. He helplessly shook his head to his daughter.

”Then you should come to our camp, young lady. We have food to share here. The male survivors can work for us to clear the zombies while the female can work in the barrack to treat the injured,” Qiu Shan offered them to come to the camp with a gentle smile.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Tang Shaoyang's index started to hit the table next to him. He was starting to get impatient with the talk.

”Hahaha… Young Lady, I advise you to quit while you can! If the country finds that there's a small group like you try to riot, you will be executed for sure!” Liu Jian laughed when he heard the name of the Tang Empire, ”Rather than following the snotty brat like him, what about becoming my secretary instead? You will be safe, and you don't need to worry about food as well. How is it? Are you interested?” The old man licked his lips as he looked at Zhang Mengyao tender face.

Kang Jiayi's eyes widened in shock when he heard this. He did not expect his friend would be like this, at all.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

The sound of a finger hitting the table was getting louder. He looked toward the noise and saw the young man was looking at Liu Jian coldly. For some reason, he got a bad premonition from this.

”Will you give the supplies back or not?” Tang Shaoyang's patience was running out. He asked this for the last time.

”I told you, young man! You are our hero, but we can't give back the supplies, we need the supplies for the greater good,” Fan De shook his head.
