Killed!
Tiger Brother has been killed!
This... how is that possible!
“Lin Shuai-bin, are you joking? I heard that Tiger Brother has more than twenty guns, and even a military Micro Submachine Gun! In terms of strength, he ranks among the middle tier of the bosses. Who could take him down? Lin Shuai-bin, this joke is not funny.” Brute clearly did not believe it.
“Believe it or not, we can go in now, right? Hurry up and clear the roadblock! These guys in the car are not to be trifled with. Everything belonging to Tiger Brother is in their hands. With just your few guns... let me remind you, brother: don’t seek death! Otherwise, I don’t know if I can collect your body!” Leaning against a big tree for shade, Lin Shuai-bin was emboldened by his bluff and spoke with more confidence.
Brute was uncertain, his eyes darting between Lin Shuai-bin and the truck, ultimately deciding not to take the risk.
Because whether it was Tiger Brother or the person who could take down Tiger Brother, neither was someone he could provoke. He waved his hand: “Let them through!”
Lin Shuai-bin knew how to handle people; he directly shoved a hundred-dollar bill into Brute's hand: “Here, brother, take this for smokes. We’re leaving!”
After seeing the truck drive thirty meters away, Brute finally opened his walkie-talkie and whispered, “Boss, a vehicle has entered, brought by Lin Shuai-bin! Yes, that smooth-talking one, Tiger Brother's subordinate! But he said that Tiger Brother was killed by the people he brought! What? Really killed? All the bosses know about it? Alright, I got it; they’ve already been let through! Good, once the other two bosses arrive, immediately seal off the main gate!”
The truck stopped in the open space in front of the gymnasium, and Shen Yuan and others got out.
“Xu Lixing, you stay here and guard. Don’t let anyone get close. Anyone who dares to have ill intentions should be taken down immediately!” Shen Yuan commanded.
Xu Lixing nodded, his expression cold.
He had two bone spurs, two handguns, five magazines on him, and a police-issued Micro Submachine Gun hanging from his chest! With his speed and reaction time, there were hardly any people here who could deal with him!
“A Hu, come with me!”
Shen Yuan called out and led Chen Letian into the gymnasium.
Once inside the gymnasium, it was brightly lit.
More than ten High-Intensity Flashlights illuminated the entire gymnasium; booths were everywhere!
Aside from prohibiting fighting and robbery, there were no rules in the black market!
Of course, those rules are just surface-level regulations. In reality, even if someone were to steal or rob, it's likely no one would care. In the apocalypse, everyone manages their own affairs; who wants to stir up trouble?
Strength is paramount!
Shen Yuan looked over and saw that the most prominent positions were occupied by the fiercest and strongest individuals, and there were quite a few of them. The stalls in those areas had better goods; sometimes you could see Mutated Beast Meat, beast bones, or food and fruits. However, the stalls tucked away in the corners had little of value—things like cola, bottled water, knives, Jewelry, and even Underwear.
Currently, clothing and Jewelry are the least valuable items, while firearms and ammunition are the most valuable. Next comes Mutated Beast Meat, followed by regular food!
Even certain items specifically for Sexual Happiness have a good market because for some women in the apocalypse, the only thing they can rely on is their own body. But they are also cautious and don't want to contract any incurable diseases; men are wary too. Thus, these items always sell well. Shen Yuan noticed a stall dedicated to such products was crowded with people.
Of course, the best-selling items remain Mutated Beast Meat and food!
After all, people prioritize food above all else; filling their stomachs is the most important thing.
However, the prices of Mutated Beast Meat and food have been rising steadily—sky-high prices everywhere—but they remain consistently high. A crowd gathered around a stall looking worried.
Suddenly!
One person took advantage of the stall owner's momentary distraction to grab a small bag of rice and ran off!
But after just a few steps, he saw the stall owner sneering coldly as he pulled out a handgun from his pocket.
With a gunshot, one of the man's legs was shattered!
Next to the stall owner, a Brother stepped forward, picked up the rice bag, then kicked the thief several times while spitting at him.
Despite the thief's cries of agony, no one around paid any attention!
These ordinary goods were naturally beneath Shen Yuan and his companions' notice. Even the most valuable Mutated Beast Meat was still plentiful at Stone Carving Factory; they could eat for several days without issue. Even if they ran out, hunting Mutant Beasts outside would suffice; how could they possibly go hungry?
"Boss, all the good stuff is on the second floor; follow me."
Lin Shuai-bin led Shen Yuan and Chen Letian up the stairs and soon arrived at the second floor.
This was a small venue separate from the first-floor area—a Table Tennis Court. At this moment, several ping pong tables were pushed together where several leaders were already seated inside. Behind them stood many people, each holding guns—all uniform Semi-Automatic Pistols!
A person stood at the door, dressed in a suit and tie, with a broad smile on his face. Upon seeing Shen Yuan and the others arrive, he quickly nodded and bowed, clearly already aware of their identities.
The gunfight from two days ago might not be known to everyone, but the several bosses were well aware, and their most trusted subordinates naturally knew too!
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ge Yi, the person in charge of the black market, appointed personally by the bosses. Lin Shuai-bin knows me. May I ask how this boss is addressed? Anyone who can take down Tiger Brother is certainly a distinguished guest!" Ge Yi smiled widely, clearly a workplace elite from before the apocalypse.
Lin Shuai-bin quickly made the introductions.
This Ge Yi was said to have been a manager in a sales department at some company, earning hundreds of thousands in commissions each year. He was articulate and could talk smoothly with anyone, easily convincing several bosses to appoint him as the head of the black market, responsible for all daily affairs.
Shen Yuan nodded and did not say much.
He wasn't good at communicating with people like this. With Chen Letian and Lin Shuai-bin present, he didn't need to speak.
"This is our Shen Laoda, and this is Brother Tian. When dealing with small teams like Tiger Brother's, Shen Laoda doesn't even need to lift a finger; Brother Tian can handle it himself!" Lin Shuai-bin exaggerated, with only one out of ten statements being credible.
Ge Yi clearly belonged to a similar category of people and did not believe Lin Shuai-bin's words at all. He knew very well that Tiger Brother's team's strength ranked average among the bosses; any team wanting to take down Tiger Brother's crew would need to knock out a few teeth first! One person taking down an entire Tiger Brother team? And not even a boss but just a Brother? What a joke!
"Haha, Brother Tian looks like the reincarnation of Xiang Yu or Lu Bu, capable of taking down Li Yuanba with one punch! Of course, Shen Laoda goes without saying! What is Tiger Brother? He doesn't even warrant Shen Laoda's involvement! Shen Laoda, please, the bosses have been waiting for a long time!" Ge Yi was unwilling to engage in idle chatter; he stepped back a few paces to clear the way, bowing slightly and extending his hand in a display of courtesy.
Shen Yuan did not hesitate and walked in under the gaze of everyone inside.
