At this time, the sky had completely darkened, the surroundings were pitch black, and there was no sound at all.
A thousand meters away from Xiang Zhijie's tunnel, countless figures were shaking.
They were all residents of the town. They had been waiting for a whole day to form a group to hunt Xiang Zhijie after dark and the temperature dropped.
A few days ago, each of them participated in the attack on Li Tianyang's family. It was an unforgettable nightmare in their lives. Compared with Li Tianyang's strength, Xiang Zhijieming's opponent was extremely weak.
After two days of depletion, Xiang Zhijie and Shi Yan only had more than thirty people left. They were deprived of food and water for two days and their combat effectiveness was weak.
The hot weapon in Xiang Zhi's hand is only an old-fashioned shotgun, and the tunnel is surrounded by barbed wire. It can be said that there is no way to go from heaven to earth, and death is certain.
The townspeople in the town are full of confidence. You must know that there are eight or nine hundred of them in total, and everyone is armed with robbery sticks. They can easily take down Xiang Zhijie with just one charge.
In their eyes, there is no doubt that victory belongs to them.
Although this battle is bound to be won, the people in the town are not happy. They know clearly that even if they kill Xiang Zhijie and his gang, they can only exchange for dozens of packs of instant noodles and dozens of bottles of water.
It was distributed equally to everyone present, and each person could not get even a small bite. What's more, everyone was dying of thirst and starvation, so no one would share the food in their mouths with others.
More wolves and less meat is the current situation they are in.
Therefore, they were all eager to take the lead and make a profit, but they were also worried that the first wave of charges would suffer and fall into intense mental internal friction.
Some people who had a blood feud with Xiang Zhijie walked at the front, but they saw that the people around them were deliberately hiding behind and waiting for them to be cannon fodder, so the people in front stopped and slowed down.
But those who originally planned to fish in troubled waters saw the people in front of them slow down and simply stopped walking. They pretended to be moving forward, but in fact they didn't move at all.
Li Tianyang glanced at the surveillance screen, then picked up a piece of steamed carp and threw it into his mouth, tasted it, and sighed: "I killed so many of them, but I didn't see them being so afraid of me. Go get a Xiang Zhijie , I was so scared before I even started!"
A few days ago, these people were not afraid of death. They rushed straight into the courtyard of the liquor factory and set up an iron pot to light a fire. How arrogant was that?
At this moment, Xiang Zhijie is nothing more than a tiger with his teeth pulled out. The townspeople are still timid and do not dare to step out of the way, all out of fear of Xiang Zhijie's remaining power.
In fact, it's not just these residents. When Qiao Qiao, Hong Dali and others went to attack Xiang Zhijie, they just stopped there and killed a few people and then stopped when they were ready. In the end, they were just a bunch of mobs.
If Lin Xiaoke realized something, he said: "From their perspective, you kill people just for self-defense. You will not steal their supplies and women for no reason, and you will not take pleasure in killing people."
"They are afraid of Xiang Zhijie, because Xiang Zhijie kills people just based on his preference. He doesn't regard them as human beings at all, just lambs that can be slaughtered at will."
"This kind of psychology is called Stockholm syndrome. Once someone forces you to do something for a long time, you will develop fear and fear, and you will not dare to resist."
While picking up food for Li Tianyang, she shared the information she had checked online.
Li Tianyang nodded. The little girl seemed to know a lot. He chatted a few words casually and then cast his eyes on the screen, with a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I am still too soft-hearted. Hong Dali and Liu Deqiang want to take supplies from me, and they are still trying to make foreign workers work without killing them. How can such a good thing in the world be possible?"
Yesterday, several teams gave Xiang Zhijie a way to survive, allowing him to survive until now. At that time, because Li Tianyang went to rescue Lin Xiaoke, he did not have time to deal with these people who took the benefits and did nothing.
He organized several teams to hunt Xiang Zhijie, with the purpose of causing them to fight internally.
This kind of dirty and tiring work is not what a decent person like Li Tianyang should do, and besides killing people every day, he will have to be psychologically distorted sooner or later.
Li Tianyang doesn't mind raising a few tools, just like raising a few dogs, but the dogs are disobedient and have petty thoughts, which deviates from his original intention of raising dogs.
For this kind of dog, Li Tianyang certainly wouldn't let it go wrong.
Lin Xiaoke looked at Li Tianyang's indifferent smile and shuddered involuntarily, but did not dare to say anything.
In theory, almost everyone in the town is their enemy.
After all, a few days ago, these people came to kill Li Tianyang with knives and then quickly. These people were not worthy of her pity. If necessary, she would kill these threatening people with weapons.
........
Xiang Zhijie's cousin, carrying a pack of explosives on his back, was bathing in the hot night wind, looking around for crowded places, ready to sprint.
But he ran a few steps and found that although there were many people outside, they had no aura, and they were approaching very slowly, which made him anxious.
The task given to him by his cousin Xiang Zhijie was to throw explosives wherever there were crowds of people, but the crowd was far away from him, which meant that he had to run a long distance.
After running 1,800 meters, after throwing the explosive package, if my cousin pressed the detonation button, he would have no place to escape the explosion, let alone return to the tunnel. It would be too dangerous.
He is deaf, but not stupid.
He dared to take on this task because he was thinking about making great contributions. He used to be Xiang Zhijie's leader, but he was deaf and his status in the team had obviously dropped a lot.
Now only by proving that he is useful and becoming a hero can he become the leader of Xiang Zhijie again, and can he drink water and eat crispy noodles.
When he was at a loss, he thought of Tao Xiuting's gasping behind the curtain, of his cousin's big Land Rover, and of the big guy's promise after it came true.
They said: As long as you do it, Li Tianyang can have a room that belongs to you in his apocalyptic RV.
After the end of the world, as the leader of Xiang Zhijie, he has already taken several lives. As long as he is cooled down and shot for five minutes, there is no way to atone for his sins. He has no way out.
So when he took over the task, he didn't think about what the future would be like. He just thought about living in Li Tianyang's RV tomorrow, drinking ice Coke with the air conditioner on, and having fun with Tao Xiuting for a few days.
Even if you die, you must be a happy ghost and live a life like a fairy before you die. This wish is primitive and simple, but it is difficult to realize.
Because he sorted out the two most difficult points in the task.
First, he must make sure that he is not too far away from the tunnel, and that he can immediately run back to the entrance of the cave to avoid the explosion after throwing the explosives. Second, he must make sure that the other party's people get together and defeat the other party.
Colleagues must meet these two conditions. For him who has not graduated from elementary school, this makes the task comparable to the end of hell.
Before setting off, his cousin repeatedly told Zhijie to throw the explosive packets to crowded places, but the people on the other side were too scattered and looked too wretched to come over, and they did not cooperate with him at all. action.
What made him uneasy was that his cousin was not very reliable.
I remember that since I was little, I would grab pocket money from his pocket, and slap a bucket of shit on his head if something happened. If he rushed out so stupidly, my cousin might actually press the detonation button.
So he stopped not far from the tunnel entrance, for fear that his cousin would stab him in the back.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had a bold idea.
He turned on his phone's flashlight, shined it on himself, and started yelling.
"You guys are stupid, Grandpa is here! Do you dare to come here?"
"I'm going to single you out, you're a bunch of rubbish!"
"Don't you want to trade my head for instant noodles? I'm right here, come and beat me to death!"
Generally speaking, deaf people have very loud voices because they cannot hear themselves speak and always feel that others cannot hear them either.
Therefore, he tried his best to speak with his voice, which was exceptionally clear in the dark night and could be heard far away.
In order to express his emotions, he used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate himself, making him shine like a firefly in the dark night.
The residents immediately discovered this man with strange behavior, and some people quickened their pace not to miss this pack of wild instant noodles.
Seeing that the townspeople were attracted to him, Xiang Zhijie's cousin felt that he was really a clever little ghost, and immediately shouted louder and louder.
"Why are you still standing there? It's just me. What are you afraid of? Come and kill me!"
"Don't you want to eat instant noodles and drink mineral water? Come over and kill me, and you can live!"
"Don't worry, I'm not ambushing you. I'm not carrying a weapon. I've had enough of life and want to die. Come and kill me! Give me a good time!"
The crowd began to get restless, and some people were already trotting away, their eyes glowing green.
They didn't dare to charge just now because they were afraid of an ambush, afraid of the fighting power that Xiang Zhijie would unleash before he died, or afraid that they would fall into a pool of blood and become someone else's wedding dress.
Now I can see clearly, there is just such a person in the open space, alone, still talking nonsense, like a psychopath.
Some people couldn't help but start thinking that Xiang Zhijie had been trapped here for two days without water or food. His little brother must not be able to hold on anymore, so he became insane and ran out to seek relief.
They are both fallen people from the end of the world. Residents have seen this kind of people before.
There are also people like this in Sun Xiuying's group. They have seen several lunatics, and there are even one or two who are mentally fragile and are begging others in the group to kill him.
Therefore, Xiang Zhijie's little brother was also hungry and crazy.
Yes, that must be the case, it's very logical and fluent.
The residents are a little crazy. What kind of psychotic lunatic is this? This is just instant noodles and mineral water!
Killing him counts as helping him, doing good deeds counts as a favor, and you can still get supplies afterwards. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
So some people began to run over desperately. Who doesn't love walking instant noodles these days?
