Chapter 69 Conflict
Once everything was ready, Wang Xiao didn't delay and led Xue Wu, Xiong Sanzhuang, and the others directly to the Yinghua Hotel.
To make the transport easier, Wang Xiao specially arranged for two trucks to be brought in to carry heavy goods.
As for whether anything unexpected might happen at the hotel during his absence, Wang Xiao wasn't particularly worried.
For security, there's Yue Man and the Thorn Knight; and for management, there's Wei Yan, a trusted confidant.
It's unacceptable that his house would be burgled while he was away for just one hour to drop someone off.
Although some vehicles were still stuck in traffic, the streets were much easier to navigate than before, thanks to the horde of zombies that had attracted a number of them.
So far, we haven't encountered any situations where zombies are clustered together and we have to take a detour.
It took about twenty minutes for the group to arrive at the Yinghua Hotel.
Wang Xiao stood at the entrance of Yinghua Hotel, looking at the traces left around him, and suddenly stopped.
He remembered sealing the door behind him when he left...
Tsk tsk, a 'rat' has gone in.
"Boss, someone has gone in."
Xue Wu, who also noticed the traces, bent down to give a reminder while taking the iron rod from his waist and holding it in his hand.
Wang Xiao didn't give any orders; he simply put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep drag.
He didn't really want to take action; in the apocalypse, survival was difficult enough.
However, sometimes it depends on the other party's attitude.
If the other party is able to communicate, once they take their things, the place is given away. But if the other party insists on putting on a show for them, then you can't blame them.
After the people inside noticed Wang Xiao and his group's arrival, they all came out.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket, holding a bloodstained machete.
"Gentlemen, this place now belongs to us brothers. If you know what's good for you, leave your cars here and get out of here. That way, we can avoid a fight."
The man in the leather jacket spoke arrogantly, and he was followed by about thirty people. He seemed to be the leader of this group.
Wang Xiao was amused by the person who immediately told him to leave the truck and get out, and began to leisurely smoke his cigarette.
The first person who dared to speak to him like that is now dead and hasn't even been buried yet.
The second one was standing right next to him, currently leading his underlings through the hotel's onboarding assessment.
I thought that most of those who had survived until now were intelligent people, but then a third one appeared.
The moment the man in the leather jacket insulted Wang Xiao, Xue Wu, Xiong Sanzhuang, and the others had already gripped their weapons.
If Wang Xiao hadn't remained silent, they would have rushed up and chopped these people up long ago.
Seeing that Wang Xiao ignored him and continued smoking his cigarette, the man in the leather jacket, whether to establish authority for his underlings or to give Wang Xiao a hard time, actually threw the blood-stained machete at Wang Xiao.
Seeing the machete flying towards him, Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and remained unmoved.
Although he didn't know whether it was the thirty or so people behind him who gave him the courage, or whether it was because he seemed easy to talk to, now that he had started, he couldn't just surrender easily!
"How dare you lay a hand on our boss! You're asking for it!"
With a sharp shout, Xiong Sanzhuang stood in front of Wang Xiao, using his homemade shield to knock away the cleaver.
Since the other party had already made the first move, Wang Xiao naturally didn't hold back and said softly, "Take care of them quickly, so as not to delay our electrician from going home for dinner."
"Yes."
No sooner had Wang Xiao finished speaking than Xiong Sanzhuang charged forward, roaring, "Brothers, let's get them! How dare they disrespect our boss? They really don't know what death means!"
The man in the leather jacket noticed that Xiong Sanzhuang's group, despite being outnumbered, were not only unafraid of them but also dared to resist. His expression changed slightly.
The man in the leather jacket, his face contorted with rage, roared, "Damn it, there are so many of us, I don't believe we can't kill you all! Get them!"
However, Xiong Sanzhuang and his seven men were already eager to prove themselves to Wang Xiao.
Xiong Sanzhuang took the lead, his homemade iron shield smashing through the two men rushing towards him.
He was a power user by nature, and with the ruthlessness he had honed from fighting zombies every day after the apocalypse, he pushed his left arm horizontally, and his shield sent one of the people flying backward, knocking over two or three people behind him before finally coming to a stop.
Immediately afterwards, he swung the iron rod in his right hand, accurately hitting another person's knee joint. With a crisp "crack," the person screamed and fell to his knees, never to stand up again.
"Damn it, is that all you've got? You dare to act so arrogantly in front of our boss?"
Xiong Sanzhuang grinned, his eyes full of mockery.
At the same time, Xue Wu also began his operation. Unlike Xiong Sanzhuang and his gang, he did not act recklessly and aggressively, but instead proceeded at his own pace.
Xue Wu moved with steady steps, aiming at the enemy's vital points with every move.
Just as a thug who was trying to ambush Wang Xiao raised his steel pipe, Xue Wu dodged to the side, grabbed the man's wrist with his left hand and twisted it downwards, while his right hand slammed the iron rod heavily onto the man's shoulder blade.
The man groaned, his arm immediately went limp, and the steel pipe fell to the ground.
"Xiong Sanzhuang, don't waste your time, the boss is still watching! Do you still want to join the company?"
Xue Wu said in a low voice, his feet never stopping as he approached the next person.
Xiong Sanzhuang easily subdued one of them, a terrifying expression on his face: "Don't worry, it'll be done soon."
Perhaps because Wang Xiao was in charge, Xiong Sanzhuang and his men displayed combat power far exceeding that of the zombie horde!
Although Xiong Sanzhuang's younger brother, "Monkey," was small in stature, he was exceptionally agile.
He seized the opportunity to circle around to the side and get behind an enemy. His dagger slashed across the man's calf, and the man screamed and fell to the ground. He was then kicked unconscious by the monkey.
Seeing that things were not going well, some people immediately laid down their weapons and surrendered with their heads in their hands.
In less than five minutes, the thirty or so men under the leather jacket were lying on the ground, their cries of pain echoing throughout.
When Wang Xiao looked again, the arrogance on the man in the leather jacket's face had completely vanished.
"Damn it, damn it! What on earth is that man with the shield?!"
The man in the leather jacket watched helplessly as his men were easily dealt with one by one by Wang Xiao's men. Especially after witnessing Xiong Sanzhuang's unreasonable brute strength, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
After Xue Wu finished off the last man, he shook the blood off the iron rod and looked up at the man in the leather jacket: "Want to continue?"
The man in the leather jacket's lips trembled, and the weapon in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
He knelt down with a thud: "Sir, spare my life! I... I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness..."
Wang Xiao slowly exhaled a smoke ring, stubbed out his cigarette, and walked up to the man in the leather jacket. He smiled and said, "I'm actually quite easy to talk to. Didn't you throw a knife at me?"
As a return gift, I won't use a knife; I'll just kick you.
If you survive, I'll consider this a thing of the past, how about that? Sounds reasonable, right?
Upon hearing this, the man in the leather jacket exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"
Wang Xiao replied earnestly, "Of course."
Xue Wu and Xiong Sanzhuang, standing to the side, showed expressions of sympathy for the man in the leather jacket.
Even Xiong Sanzhuang, who is also an ability user, couldn't guarantee that he could get up from the ground without using his giant form after taking Wang Xiao's full-force kick.
To give the man time to prepare, Wang Xiao considerately asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready, all set..."
At this moment, the man in the leather jacket still harbored a glimmer of hope.
After all, it wasn't a knife, just a kick. Even if it was heavy, it couldn't kill him with one kick.
However, the next moment, he regretted it.
Unfortunately, he no longer has the chance to back out.
Wang Xiao kicked out, and before the others could react, the man slammed heavily against the wall of the Yinghua Hotel and lay motionless.
Wang Xiao slowly withdrew his foot and said calmly, "Those who just attacked, none were spared."
"Yes."
"No, no!"
"Spare me!"
……
These people should have been prepared for their fate the moment they decided to take action.
Wang Xiao ignored the shouts of those people and instead looked at the two electricians behind him, saying:
"You two, I'll be working hard from now on."
