Li Zhihao chuckled, raised his hands slightly, and made a gesture of surrender towards the little loli to show that he had no ill intentions.
Taking advantage of Li Zhihao's gesture of goodwill, Lu Yu quickly looked this person up and down.
This man was wearing a white suit, a pair of expensive-looking gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was neatly combed. If Lu Yu had encountered this exquisite but not exaggerated dress before the disaster, he would have stayed away because he was afraid that he would stain other people's clothes and he would not be able to pay for it.
But it was already after the disaster, and in the apocalypse, such exquisite clothes would not attract much attention from Lu Yu. What frightened him was what was exposed from the man's waist when he raised his hands, a revolver!
Xiao Ran, who was shooting with a crossbow, obviously saw the pistol on Li Zhihao's waist. His pupils shrank sharply and he exchanged glances with Lu Yu.
"I don't mean any harm. I really just came to you to discuss cooperation." Li Zhihao shrugged again when he saw that the other party did not respond and still looked tense.
"Just you three?" Lu Yu asked expressionlessly.
"There are only three of them, why don't we go into the room to talk?" Li Zhihao still raised his hands high, but his face was filled with a relaxed smile, and there was no trace of fear.
"It seems like a difficult character to deal with..."
Lu Yu thought to himself, turned sideways and gave way to the passage.
"You just let them in like that?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked quickly when he saw Lu Yu letting him in so readily.
But Lu Yu just gave her a cold look, "Shut up."
Xu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but Lu Yu had already turned his head and no longer looked at her.
Xiao Ran, who was beside him, pulled the corner of Xu Xiaoxiao's clothes and shook his head gently at her, signaling her to stop talking.
Li Zhihao, on the other hand, seemed not to have seen this scene. He walked into Lu Yu's home openly and sat on the sofa in the center of the living room. He looked at Lu Yu and the others with a smile on his face and said nothing.
The two strong men behind him followed Li Zhihao into the room, but they did not find a place to sit down. Instead, they stood one on the left and one on the right behind him, like two sculptures made of copper and iron.
Seeing that the other party was so dominant, Lu Yu was not angry at all. He just calmly took out the small stool under the coffee table and sat opposite Li Zhihao.
Although Xiao Ran no longer pointed the modified crossbow at the man in the suit, he did not put it aside. Instead, he held it in his arms. The crossbow string was still tight and could be fired at any time as long as the trigger was pulled.
"Tell me how we can cooperate." Lu Yu didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point.
By now, Lu Yu has a general understanding of the strength of the man in the suit. If you include the middle-aged man who came to explore the road earlier, there should be four people that the man in the suit can use, and they are all men.
It's not that Lu Yu discriminates against the girls on his side, it's because it has been decided in the process of human evolution that women are far inferior to men in terms of physical strength.
Lu Yu understood that in the end of the world, order collapsed and returned to primitiveness. There was no longer any law or morality that could restrain people. In this messy reinforced concrete forest, the only truth was strength.
Whoever has a big fist and a large number of people can do whatever he wants in this apocalyptic world; whoever is weak and has a small number of people can only be ravaged by mermaids at will.
Now, the number of people shown by the other party is equal to his own, but he has a big advantage in terms of gender, and a very important point is that the other party has a gun!
In a country with strict gun control, a man in a suit can actually get a gun, which shows that his identity is not simple!
"Brother, you have also seen that the world is in chaos now. If you want to survive in this chaotic world, you can't just rely on yourself. Everyone must unite." Li Zhihao pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said word by word .
The man in the suit has a magnetic voice with a hint of femininity. He speaks slowly but not too slowly, and his enunciation is clear, giving people the impression of an extremely gentleman.
"Yes, so what do you mean?" Lu Yu deliberately pretended not to understand, scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hahaha, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Li and my name is Zhihao. I have worked for the government for a period of time." Li Zhihao suddenly laughed, stood up from the sofa, half-bowed and extended his arms to Lu Yu in front of him. Out the right hand.
Lu Yu didn't bother with Li Zhihao's sudden change of topic. After a slight pause, he stretched out his hand and shook his hand, "Lu Yu."
"Nice to meet you, brother Lu Yu. These are my two brothers, Chen Long and Chen Hu." After saying that, Li Zhihao turned to look at the two brothers behind him.
The two brothers, Long and Tiger, were still like lifeless statues, expressionless and unresponsive.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't introduce the two girls behind him, Li Zhihao gestured with his eyes, saying, "You haven't introduced the two girls behind me yet."
Unexpectedly, this signal, which could be seen by normal people, suddenly didn't work when it came to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu ignored Li Zhihao's eyes, withdrew his right hand and repeated the question.
"So you want to cooperate?"
"Uh..." Li Zhihao was a little embarrassed by Lu Yu for a moment, but he soon calmed down and just thought that the other party was demonstrating to him.
"You must have guessed the purpose of my visit this time. I just want to borrow some food from you." After looking around, Li Zhihao stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Li Zhihao, who originally came up with the idea of "borrowing food" because he saw Lu Yu pushing a cart full of food, couldn't help but feel surprised after entering Lu Yu's house.
He originally thought that there was a lot of food in Lu Yu's home, but he never expected that there was so much food!
Food is everywhere on the table, in the corner, in the room!
Bags of rice, neatly stacked cans, large amounts of mineral water, and countless chocolates and compressed biscuits scattered on the coffee table.
Li Zhihao made a rough estimate and found that the food he could see alone was enough for him to eat for a year.
"How come this kid has so much food?"
"Is he someone from the organization? He knew the time for the plan to be implemented in advance, so he was so well prepared?"
Resisting the surprise and speculation in his heart, Li Zhihao tried his best to bring his thoughts back to the negotiation.
"I won't borrow the food!" Lu Yu's tone was cold, without any hesitation.
When the dragon and tiger brothers behind Li Zhihao saw Lu Yu's answer, their sculpture-like faces suddenly darkened, as if the two of them would immediately pounce and tear Lu Yu to pieces as long as the man in the suit in front of him gave an order.
"But, it can be exchanged." Lu Yu didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions of the Longhu brothers, but changed the subject and gave an answer that interested Li Zhihao.
"Oh? What does Brother Lu mean?" Li Zhihao crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and asked curiously.
"You pay an equal amount of labor or other valuable things in exchange. The price is negotiable." Lu Yu also imitated Li Zhihao's example and wanted to lean back, but soon realized that he was sitting in the small On the stool, he stopped his momentum and pulled his body back again, looking a bit funny.
"Aren't you just asking for money? Brother Li, it's better to just grab it faster!" Chen Hu finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and let out a loud shout, like rolling thunder, as if he was going to step forward and grab Lu Yu behind him. Both girls were shocked.
"Ahu! Brother Lu is our friend, don't be rude!" Li Zhihao stretched out his hand to stop Chen Hu who was about to step forward, feigning anger.
When Xiao Ran, who was standing behind Lu Yu, saw this scene, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the modified crossbow in his hand was tightened.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, seemed to have heard some big joke, holding his belly and laughing loudly. The atmosphere was frozen for a moment, everyone stopped talking, and only Lu Yu's exaggerated laughter echoed in the living room.
"I made Brother Lu laugh. My brother has a simple temperament. I have offended him a lot, but I hope you can forgive me." Seeing that Lu Yu had finally stopped laughing, Li Zhihao explained with an apology on his face.
Lu Yu waved his hand, and his smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said, "In this apocalypse, what do I need your money for? I don't like using it as toilet paper!"
"You..." Chen Hu was about to have a fit as soon as he heard Lu Yu's words, but Li Zhihao stopped him in time, "Ah Hu!"
"Brother Li, he's going too far!" Chen Hu muttered. In his eyes, Lu Yu's face looked a bit like a landlord from the old days.
"What Brother Lu said is not unreasonable. Now that we are asking for help from others, we must first listen to their conditions. If you are so impulsive again, I will not recognize you as my brother!"
Li Zhihao shook off the big man's hand and put on an angry look.
When Xiao Ran saw this, the look in Yuanyang's eyes became even colder.
The man in a suit in front of him seemed to be teaching his subordinates a lesson, but in fact he was demonstrating to them. Those words were clearly just for show. If he refused to cooperate obediently, then the man in the suit would not mind using violent means to directly rob him. .
But what made Xiaoran even more confused was Lu Yu's performance. The other party showed such great pressure, and he was able to calmly negotiate terms with the other party like a wealthy landlord. This kind of determination is not weak.
You know, no matter how powerful the modified crossbow is, it can't match the revolver. If we really fight hard, Lu Yu will definitely suffer.
If it were anyone else, under the pressure exerted by Li Zhihao, he might have thrown away all his bargaining chips long ago, giving the other party an opportunity.
"What Brother Lu said makes sense. I think we are all very thoughtful people. It is better to be friends so that we can help each other in this apocalyptic world. By coincidence, I have some news here, which I think can be used as food in exchange. I wonder if Mr. Lu would be interested in the bargaining chip?"
"Oh? Let's talk about it first." Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, took a can of beef and put it on the table.
Li Zhihao felt happy when he saw that Lu Yu was willing to exchange information about him, but he was not in a hurry to reach for the cans on the table, but spoke directly.
"Brother Lu just heard it. Before the disaster, I worked for the government. My job was to sneak into a huge heretical organization as an undercover agent. This disaster was caused by this heretical organization!"
