Chapter 125: Set off!
[Author’s note: I’m recommending this title [To Prove With Strength] by a younger brother who’s not yet 18. Do show him support! He’s hardworking!]
[Translator’s note: I’m unsure if the author’s work is being translated at the moment, hence the title based on my understanding. The author is Old Monk Sanzang. I might check it out in the future!]
Right now, Zhang Xiao Qiang had many secrets. The most important secret was the rainwater, followed by the cave full of secret stash. It was the secret armory in the garage next. Only Yang Ke’er who was the closest to him knew about the cave, but not about the rainwater, even though she had drunk it. Yuan Yi knew about the armory but not about the rest, it was not that Zhang Xiao Qiang didn’t trust her, but there was no need to tell her. After all, they weren’t lacking in resources right now. As for Su Qian, she only knew about the underground base of the garage, but not about the armory further in. Zhang Xiao Qiang thought about letting her know in the future, after all, he would have to arm her as well.
As for Shangguan Qiao Yun, was there a need to let her know?
Zhang Xiao Qiang sat behind in the Hummer, with Shangguan Qiao Yun on one side, the other Yuan Yi. He checked his .81 rifle carefully. As he checked the magazine and the parts, Su Qian who sat in front would steal glances at the rifle from time to time. She was extremely careful. Yuan Yi was vigilant so she had to be even more secretive. Zhang Xiao Qiang was hence oblivious to Su Qian’s glances. Each time they went out to fight, Zhang Xiao Qiang was always careful. He didn’t fear the enemy to be too strong, instead, he was fearful of accidents on their own side. Previously, because he didn’t expect an S2 to show up after defeating the D2, he had been caught unprepared, and almost lost his life. He really hated to leave things to fate, and would rather try to control his own destiny.
Shangguan Qiao Yun was slightly nervous, her face lacking the charm and allure that she usually had. Her rose-like lips were dry, her legs tightly pressed together as she sat extremely straight. Her hands were clutched underneath her thighs, and she trembled, unsure if it was from anxiety or fear.
Zhang Xiao Qiang sat in the car and awaited Brother Long and Chen Yi’s appearance. Last night, Zhang Xiao Qiang had told Brother Long he would set off today, and Brother Long had immediately raised a ruckus, promising to bring Chen Yi as they led their men to follow Zhang Xiao Qiang on the expedition. Right now, all his men were gathered outside, wielding weapons as they waited for the 2 big bosses.
By the third time he checked his weapon, Brother Long and Chen Yi finally came out the main door, with He Wen Bin, Old Three and some others behind. Old Frank continued to look after the place.
Brother Long and Chen Yi had spruced themselves, their attire smart. As they walked, there was an awe-inspiring aura. Both Brother Long and Chen Yi had holsters at their waist, with their handguns kept there. They had their .81 rifles slung across their backs, while 6 magazines lined up in their pouches across their chest. Seeing them fully armed, Zhang Xiao Qiang cursed silently in his heart. If they had given all these to him, he could already clear the storage place a number of times.
Brother Long stood at the door and he swept his gaze fiercely across his men. No one dared to look him straight in the eye as they lowered their heads. Satisfied, he turned around to look at Chen Yi, who nodded and opened his mouth.
“Today, the place we’re going, you know how dangerous it’s going to be, but you also know that if we succeed, we won’t have to worry about food for a long while. There would be no need for you guys to go and risk your lives again!”
Up to this point, all of them raised their gazes and stared at Chen Yi, their breathing ragged. To them, being able to eat their fill without risking their lives was a dream come true. No one was willing to risk their lives, yet they had seen the plight of those eating chicken feed. That was why they had dared to risk their lives. Now there was a chance to get enough food without having to risk their lives again, they were excited.
“However.” At this time, Chen Yi’s tone became grave, as his gaze became fierce. He glared at all of them and spoke one word at a time: “Those who fear death, and dare to run, or drag the others down, you want to know how Brother Long and I will take care of you?”
Brother Long stepped forward, and he stared at them, his intense gaze sweeping all over his subordinates.
When these men heard Chen Yi’s words, their faces turned pale, coupled with Brother Long’s stare, their legs trembled. It was not like they hadn’t seen how cruel these 2 could be. Everyone lowered their head obediently.
Zhang Xiao Qiang put down his gun as he watched this spectacle in front of him coolly. He knew they were making use of the atmosphere to pressure their own men, even though this operation was led by Zhang Xiao Qiang, they had not even mentioned his name once. He naturally did not care, in any case, he already had the rewards, he just had to carry out his end of the deal.
Brother Long turned to face Zhang Xiao Qiang, who nodded, and he gave the order to set off. A huge dump truck led the way, with 4 Landrovers and 2 vans followed behind. Zhang Xiao Qiang’s modified Hummer brought up the rear.
The journey was bumpy, as the uneven ground caused the Hummer to rattle constantly. The few of them inside shook nonstop, and Shangguan Qiao Yun knocked into Zhang Xiao Qiang a few times before she hurriedly adjusted herself. During those moments, her fragrance would enter his nose, and those double-D cups would press into his legs, causing him to almost lose his mind. Furthermore, he had done it with Yuan Yi a couple of times these past few nights. He was almost driven out of his mind by the temptation and had the intention to just do it with her right now. However, his rationality held him back as he didn’t want to do it in front of everybody. Additionally, he wasn’t sure of her thoughts, what if she was doing it on purpose?
He closed his eyes to calm himself down, feeling Shangguan Qiao Yun from time to time. Her body was truly soft and supple, it was not the type that was soft and weak, but rather, there were some bounce and flexibility, like the highest grade of leather sofas. Subconsciously, he tilted his body towards her, just so he could feel her more.
Shangguan Qiao Yun saw that Zhang Xiao Qiang had closed his eyes and was leaning over, and thought that the trip was causing him to be sleepy. She didn’t dare wake him and allowed him to rest on her shoulder to sleep more comfortably. His face slowly came down towards her shoulder and rested on her as he took in her scent. Right now, she did not use any perfume, but he could smell her natural fragrance.
