"So, the Bliss Ceremony in Broken Stone City that day was indeed a trap?"
Gu Zhengyang's pupils constricted violently, and he could not have looked more miserable. He stared at Zhao Lie's face, as if he were almost tearing off his entire face and swallowing it. "If we had really listened to your command and attacked the camps of the villages deep inside the ruins, we would've been ambushed by the Black Water Gang a long time ago. Then, you wouldn't have had to muster so many people today, would you?"
Zhao Lie smiled miserably and shook his head. "Leader, you and I have fought side by side for so many years, but you still don't know me well enough. However shameless and shameless' Blood Eagle 'Zhao Lie is, would I intentionally lead my brothers to their deaths? I really don't know the first thing about the Black Water Gang!
"The 'good friends' around me are not from the Black Water Gang, either. You will know who they are after you see them."
Next to Zhao Lie, two Exos, one fat and one thin, chuckled and slowly opened their facial covers.
They were two very unique people.
The one on the left was tall and thin, like an untrimmed bamboo pole. His face was full of bumps and hollows, as if he had been exposed to a high degree of radiation. He was so ugly that it was nauseating.
The facial organs of the one on the right, on the other hand, were all buried in his fat. His entire head was like a balloon without a face. It was white with a hint of red, and it could not have looked weirder.
It seemed that they had all been corrupted by radiation or biochemical drugs. Their gene strands had been disrupted and reorganized, and their bodies were highly mutated.
The experienced sinners all knew that such mutated people were the last to be pissed off in the Land of Sins.
It was because most of the mutated people died when they were brutally contaminated. If they managed to survive, there must be something special about them, and it was very likely that they grasped terrifying techniques.
Also, such people were often seriously twisted mentally because of their body deformities. If they fell into their hands, they would not be able to get a quick death even if they wanted to.
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze had never seen such an ugly person before. Even though Han Te himself had some radiation burns on his face, he could not help but exclaim, "Ah!"
When the two heavily mutated people heard the sound, their faces wriggled strangely like plasticine that had been splashed with acid. They smiled hideously at Han Te and the Coloured Glaze.
Gu Zhengyang hurried to protect the two little fellows behind him, but his heart sank to the deepest part of the dark, cold swamp.
Perhaps Zhao Lie was not lying, because the people around him were indeed not from the Black Water Gang. Perhaps, they were ten times more terrifying than the Black Water Gang!
The two severe mutants were both infamous in the Bloody Worlds where jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards were everywhere.
As his name suggested, the tall and thin man was called "Ma Ku", while the fat man whose facial features were hidden by his fat was called "Fei Zhong".
Ma Ku was a "persistent" person.
He had once made a plan to kill one person every day. It did not matter if there were more, but at least one person had to be killed.
It was said that he had persevered for ten years and killed at least five thousand people. Even if he killed twenty people today, it did not mean that he could rest tomorrow.
"When it comes to killing, of course, one must persevere regardless of wind or rain. How can one slack off for three days and dry the net for two?"
Ma Ku once said that.
"In fact, I don't particularly like killing people, but I don't like to be a man who gives up halfway. Only by persevering to the end of everything can you enjoy the fun in it."
Ma Ku once said that.
He was not particularly picky about who he killed. It would be great if he could have some fun with the prey above his level, but if he did not, he could make do with the strong sinners or even the old, the weak, the women, and even the children.
It was said that he had been carrying out a mission in the wilderness once. When there were no enemies to kill, he simply chopped off the head of his companion before midnight arrived.
His companion, on the other hand, was a super gunner who had cooperated with him for years. They were very familiar with each other.
At that time, the two of them were preparing to hunt an extremely ferocious mutated beast together. Without the support of a gunner, it was very likely that he would have lost his life there alone!
"It wasn't easy for me to persevere for seven years, four months, and nine days. Wouldn't it be a pity to die here?"
Ma Ku, whose body was covered in wounds and whose blood had almost run dry, explained to other people in such a way.
Ma Ku killed one person every day. He had to kill them, but Fei Zhong was the opposite. Few people had seen him kill people in public.
He did not seem to be a man who liked to kill people. At most, he would kill one or two people every ten days or half a month.
In a place like the Bloody Worlds, killing people every ten days or half a month was already considered a kind man who abstained from meat and prayed to Buddha.
However, everybody knew that what Fei Zhong cared about was not the number of people he killed but the 'quality' of the people he killed.
He could go ten days or half a month without killing anyone, but once he did, he would kill for three to five days.
During the three to five days, he did not stop for a single moment. Like embroidery and carving, he killed people slowly and carefully. Accompanied by music, pearls, and incense, he killed them bit by bit with great enjoyment.
Until he was completely 'killed', the person would retain the freshest pain.
It was said that Fei Zhong could kill a person for three days five years ago. Three years ago, he could kill a person for five days. Right now, it took him seven days to kill a person. At the twenty-third hour of the sixth day, the person was still sober and could even speak in a normal tone.
Therefore, many bandits in the Double Dragons Valley said that they would rather be killed by Ma Ku a hundred times than be killed by Fei Zhong once.
Ma Ku and Fei Zhong were the two most brutal bandits of the Red Fire Gang. They might not be the bandits with the highest Cultivation in the Red Fire Gang, but they were definitely the two most creepy psychopaths!
Different from the Black Water Gang, which had only risen in recent years, the Red Fire Gang was an old gang that had dominated the Double Dragons Valley for almost twenty years. It was also the largest and most immeasurable gang in the valley.
Every year, the Village of Peace had to offer tremendous assets to the Red Fire Gang in order to keep them safe for a year.
If it were only the Black Water Gang that was coveting the Village of Peace, Gu Zhengyang would've been able to summon his courage to fight the tough bandits.
But right now, he was under attack from both sides. Even the Red Fire Gang had extended its claws to the Village of Peace. Gu Zhengyang did not know how to deal with it at all.
"What do you want exactly?"
Gu Zhengyang's internal organs seemed to have turned gray as he asked hoarsely.
"Don't worry, leader," Zhao Lie said. "The Village of Peace has been obedient to the Red Fire Gang for so many years, and the Red Fire Gang has no intention of annihilating all of you.
"Now, as long as you give up the position of the village leader and clean up the mess together with me by mobilizing a thousand strong warriors for the Red Tiger Gang's use, the Red Tiger Gang will always be the solid support of the Village of Peace.
"I don't care about the position of the leader at all!"
Gu Zhengyang shook his head slowly. "However, a thousand strong warriors? The Village of Peace only has several thousand people in total, and they suffered heavy casualties in the Bliss Ceremony just now. Even if all the adult men and women are mobilized, we might not be able to gather a thousand strong warriors.
"Also, why does the Red Fire Gang need so many strong warriors for no good reason?
"I understand it now. The Red Fire Gang is going to wage a war against another force, right? That's why they are searching for 'cannon fodder' everywhere. Zhao Lie, you just said that you would not be shameless enough to send your brothers to their deaths, but you are making such a demand right now. Don't tell me that you cannot see through the Red Fire Gang's real purpose!"
Zhao Lie was rather good at keeping his cool. Without even raising his eyebrow, he casually said, "If we had been ambushed by the Black Water Gang in Broken Stone City that day, we would've been enslaved and killed for nothing, just like the poor guys who are attacking the Village of Peace right now. But if we had agreed to the Red Fire Gang's terms today, I would've reached an agreement with the Red Fire Gang a long time ago.
"Yes. Both the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang are recruiting and expanding. They are searching for cannon fodder and slave soldiers everywhere. Naturally, a great war is coming. How can I not know the perils of it?
"But now that we have been targeted by the Red Fire Gang and the Black Water Gang, we don't have a choice. It will be useless no matter how hard we struggle!
"Leaving aside the fact that they need tremendous cannon fodder and vassals, do you think that they will be reassured to leave such a strong, disobedient, independent organization as the Village of Peace in the rear? Of course, before they set off, they had to get rid of this' trouble in the future '!
"I really can't figure out a solution. I can only choose to join the side with better terms. At the very least, the Red Fire Gang has agreed to organize the brothers of the Village of Peace into a team that I will command in person. Also, if we win the war, there will be abundant trophies! Isn't it much better than being captured by the Black Water Gang as slave soldiers? "
"If we get to the bottom of it, we are still cannon fodder," Gu Zhengyang snorted. "The Bloody Worlds are not a place that people like us can enter. How many of the thousand warriors of the Village of Peace do you think will survive after a dark, corpse-strewn battle? Without the strong warriors, what are we going to do about the old, the weak, and the sick? "
With brutality beaming out of his eyes, Zhao Lie declared, "I don't know how many of us will survive after we become the Red Fire Gang's accomplices, but I do know that if we don't agree, we will all die here!"
Looking at the hideous Zhao Lie and the gloomy Ma Ku and Fei Zhong, Gu Zhengyang felt that all his strength had been drained. He opened his mouth, but he could not utter a single word.
"Don't waste your breath on him!"
With the enhancement of the crystal suit, Zhao Chong charged close again. He said gloatingly, "Old leader, in the Land of Sins today, your plan is no longer going to work. Just listen to my father!"
"Bullsh * t!"
Han Te could not help but charge forward. With dazzling electric arcs dancing on his right arm, he punched Zhao Chong head-on. After receiving Li Yao's high-pressure transmission for half a month, his punch contained Li Yao's profound thoughts on the utilization of spiritual energy. Despite the enhancement of the Crystal Suit, Zhao Chong was still blown back by his punch.
"A * shole!"
Zhao Chong did not expect Han Te to be so tough. He vomited a mouthful of blood, and his face was as cold as ice.
"We will not bend!"
