Doomsday run (16): Hospitality

The gold-type ability user was very dissatisfied with the shop owner who delivered the wrong message. He almost never came back, and his bright future was about to be ruined in a deserted alley!

The panicked and angry gold-type ability user rushed into the meeting room of the base camp in one breath, interrupting the discussion of several leaders. Facing the dissatisfied gazes of the big guys, the gold-type ability user tried to calm his breathing and prepared to complain.

But before the gold-type ability user could calm down and say a complete sentence, he saw the leader Hu Gaojie, who was sitting at the head of the conference room, frowning and saying unhappily:

“Who did you bring back? How could you bring them into the core area of ​​the camp without permission? Have you forgotten the rules?”

The gold-type ability user was confused and was about to explain that he had escaped alone and did not bring anyone back to the base camp, when suddenly an idea flashed across his mind and he realized something. He was struck by lightning and his whole body froze. He turned around and looked back with a horrified expression.

Behind the gold-type ability user, two tall and handsome young men followed him into the conference room. One of them was gentle and the other was domineering. They both had smiles on their faces and were in a relaxed manner. Although they were in the base camp of an unfamiliar force, they strolled leisurely as if they were shopping. After entering the conference room, they closed the door.

Looking at these two faces that left such a deep impression on him, the gold-type ability user felt as if his blood was about to freeze. Why did these two demons follow him back?

Before the gold-type ability user could “introduce” the two parties, Cheng Huaiqian raised his hand and said hello:

“Good afternoon, everyone. I came here uninvited to ask you for your opinion. It’s a bit too coincidental that I was attacked the moment I walked out of the store. Isn’t it?”

Cheng Huaiqian pushed away the gold-type ability user who was blocking his way, pulled out a chair next to the conference table, sat down, glanced at the participants with a cold expression, and introduced himself with a smile, with an attitude more natural than that of the host.

Xia Ruize was different. He pulled out the chair next to him and sat down. His attitude was not as arrogant as Cheng Huaiqian’s. He looked gentle and polite.

Fuck! Where was the courtesy!

Since noticing the abnormal attitude of the gold-type ability user, the participants have realized that something was wrong. But before the leader Hu Gaojie could jump up, a pistol was pressed in front of his head, and the pistol was moving in small movements as if dancing.

Hu Gaojie followed the direction of his gaze and saw Xia Ruize’s hand on the conference table. The index finger of that slender hand was casually drawing circles in the air.

Hu Gaojie saw clearly that the movement trajectory of the opponent’s fingers was exactly the same as the movement trajectory of the pistol in front of him. It was clearly a threat to them. The control of the pistol was in the opponent’s hands!

The thing in front of the forehead was just a small pistol with a small caliber and small power. It was enough to fight zombies, but it was not good enough to fight aliens. But this pistol was now on the forehead of a human being!

Humans were not as hard as zombies. It only takes a small bullet to the head to break it into pieces. They dare not use their eggs to hit stones.

The seven participants in the conference room stared at the pistols in front of their heads, their eyes were bulging, cold sweat ran down their foreheads. Where did these two evil people come from? !

They were able to rush into the core area of ​​the Fox hunting team’s base camp without any resistance, and even captured the top leaders of the Fox Hunting Team. If this news were to get out, even the opponents would laugh to death.

After glaring at the terrified gold-type ability user lying on the ground, Hu Gaojie, the leader of the Fox Hunting Team, quickly realized the situation, forced a smile on his face, and asked, suppressing his anger:

“I really don’t understand what you two are saying, but there is no rush. Let’s talk slowly. You two have come from afar and are guests. On behalf of the Fox hunting team, I promise that I will treat you well.”

Cheng Huaiqian took the teapot and fruit plate from the conference table, poured a cup of tea for himself and Xia Ruize, and placed the fruit plate in front of his lover. He took a sip of tea slowly before replying:

“You have already given us a ‘warm’ reception, and we have come here specially to express our gratitude.”

He kicked the paralyzed gold-type ability user on the ground and ordered in a cold voice: “Explain it.”

The gold-type ability user had a miserable look on his face. It was not that he didn’t want to get up, but he simply couldn’t get up. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, so much so that he couldn’t even change his posture or make a sound.

At this time, Cheng Huaiqian kicked him, and at the same time as the pain in his waist was gone, the gold-type ability user was finally able to get up from the ground, and eagerly rushed to his leader, whispering a reminder:

“They are the three people who bought the life bottles that Boss Fang reported.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Gaojie immediately understood that they had hit a wall this time. Their plan to plot against others failed and instead they got into trouble, as the other party chased them back to their lair.

“My two brothers, I’m really sorry. We didn’t recognize the real master. I, Hu Gaojie, would like to apologize to you two. Please put down your gun and let’s sit down and have a good chat. Haha, let’s have a good chat.”

Hu Gaojie was flexible and when he realized that the situation was not favorable to him, he immediately put aside his pride and spoke in a friendly manner.

Hu Gaojie had a smile on his face, but Cheng Huaiqian’s smile was even brighter. He threw the teacup in his hand onto the conference table, leaned back in his chair, and made a request with confidence:

“Since you know you were wrong, this matter will be easy to handle. We don’t need anything else. Just send us all the life bottles you have in stock, and this matter will be settled.”

When Hu Gaojie heard Cheng Huaiqian’s arrogant and self-deprecating words, his pretended friendly expression almost collapsed. He held back his words again and again, and finally, he blurted out one word at a time from between his teeth:

“Brother, you are really good at making fun and telling jokes…”

Where did this idiot come from? He actually dared to ask for it. He was not afraid of asking for too much and killing himself!

“I’m not kidding.” Xia Ruize, who had eaten two orange halves because they were too sour and stopped eating, was wiping his fingers with a wet towel. Upon hearing this, he slowly dropped a bombshell: “If you are waiting for rescue, you can give up. The people outside have been dealt with, and rescue may not come.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room suddenly opened. Amid the anticipation of the participants, a strange young man walked in, much to their disappointment.

Gao Hexuan walked into the conference room without closing the door, allowing the people inside to see the hall outside with the floor full of people lying motionless. There were bright bloodstains everywhere, indicating an unknown fact.

“All the life bottles from the people outside have been collected.”

Gao Hexuan excitedly reported to the two big bosses in his heart network. He lagged behind and went to manually clean up the battlefield for the two powerful big bosses. Thinking of the large number of life bottles collected in this wave, Gao Hexuan deeply realized that robbing other thieves was indeed the first choice for making a fortune.

Finally, a group of high-ranking members of the Fox Hunting team could no longer control their expressions. They stood up from their seats uncontrollably and tried to rush out to see the situation clearly, but they ran into pistols pointed at their heads. The pistols pointed at their heads threateningly, making them dare not move again.

“You, you guys!” Hu Gaojie shouted angrily, then realized that this was not going to work, and swallowed the curse that came out of his mouth, softened his tone, but still asked stiffly:

“Who sent you here? What’s your purpose?”

“We are just innocent passersby who have been treated unkindly. Fortunately, we have the ability to seek justice for ourselves. Those who are incompetent probably have no chance to speak up, right?

Isn’t it natural for us to ask for compensation? We don’t want money or food, we just want your life bottles, what, is that too much?”

Cheng Huaiqian asked back righteously. He was smiling at first, but as he spoke, his smile faded. His face turned cold and his tone became gloomy and threatening.

The seven senior members of the Fox Hunting Team shuddered, feeling an inexplicable fear from the bottom of their hearts. They felt cold all over, their hair stood on end, and they were speechless for a moment.

“Heh.” Xia Ruize suddenly sneered and moved his fingers. The next second, after a gunshot with a “bang”, one of the seven senior executives who were standing stiffly in place suddenly fell to the ground powerlessly. There was a bloody wound between his eyebrows, and his eyes were wide open, making him look like Erlang Shen¹.

The other six people immediately looked at Xia Ruize in panic. Even Cheng Huaiqian turned to look at Xia Ruize and reached out to hold Xia Ruize’s hand.

“Not dead, it’s fake.”

Xia Ruize told Cheng Huaiqian the truth in the heart network, and felt the silent care of his lover, so he held Cheng Huaiqian’s hand in return.

Cheng Huaiqian then felt relieved and turned around to continue putting pressure on the six people who were on the verge of collapse.

Xia Ruize rubbed his fingers. He knew what Cheng Huaiqian was worried about. If he thought carefully, he had not killed anyone since entering the endless world. Even though he started killing in the first novice mission world, his targets were barbarians who were obviously different from humans.

The target Xia Ruize chose just now was the person who had the greatest malice towards them. Such a person was not worth breaking his precedent. He simply used mental force to attack the opponent’s brain, and then shot, leaving a bloody mark on his forehead.

As for whether he would become a fool when he woke up, what did it matter?

The other six people, who were becoming increasingly nervous because their companions were being attacked, had no time to carefully check on their fallen companions. They now turned to put pressure on Hu Gaojie, forcing him to agree to the demands made by the demon opposite them.

Hu Gaojie clenched his teeth so hard that he almost bled. How could he dare to agree? Looking at the people on the ground whose lives or deaths were unknown, who could guarantee that the other party would spare their lives if he handed over the life bottles in stock?

Where on earth did these two people come from? They were so powerful but he had never heard of them before? They also deceived the shop owner under him and made them provoke such evil spirits!

Cheng Huaiqian tapped the table with his fingers, his calm tone full of threats:

“I know what you are thinking, but if you don’t pay me, you will die now.”

“I know! I know the password to the team’s warehouse. I’ll take you there!”

Finally, another deputy leader couldn’t help it and jumped out to take over the conversation.

Gao Hexuan waved at him, signaling him to lead the way. Soon, everyone watched Gao Hexuan leave behind the deputy leader.

Hu Gaojie slumped down in the boss chair and covered his face with his hands weakly.

But Xia Ruize knew that his face, which was blocked by his hands, was full of calculations.

Xia Ruize smiled nonchalantly. If the prey wanted to fight, then he would put down all his strength and see who could outsmart the other.
