Chapter 170: Who Is Ambushing Whom?
"This..." Alex hesitated slightly, "We are all on the same side... Is it really a good idea to do this?"
Alex began to play the saintly figure. A man who is indecisive and saintly is more likely to be underestimated and trusted.
"Peng Le treated you like that, and you don't want revenge? As a man, don't you want a better life and more subordinates?" Lü Bao began to coax persuasively, "Now it's the apocalypse, throw away all those nonsense morals! As long as you listen to me, be loyal to me, I guarantee, you'll have the best of everything-good food and drinks, women, and power!"
"Well, but... Peng Le has always been cautious. If we directly attack him in this shelter, it may not succeed... Even if it succeeds, I might have big trouble..." Alex hesitated and said.
"Hey! Why would I let you do it here? We naturally have to do it outside the shelter!" Lü Bao patted Alex's shoulder and pretended to be intimate. "I'll handle everything for you. You just need to bring Peng Le outside, and at the critical moment, lead your people to cooperate with us in taking down Peng Le."
Inwardly, Lü Bao was ecstatic. This kid in front of him was indeed too naive! So easy to deceive! Moreover, he seemed very indecisive. Such a person, Lü Bao believed, he could easily control!
"But... But I only have 15 people under me, and our weapons are still controlled by Peng Le..." Alex said, feeling troubled.
"Don't worry about that! Our Second Squad will mobilize everyone and set up an ambush at a designated location. As long as you bring Peng Le there, at the crucial moment, you and your people will make a move, coordinating with us to capture Peng Le. Leave the rest to me!" Lü Bao said confidently.
"Alright! I'll follow your lead! Whatever you say, I'll do!" Alex obediently nodded, expressing sincere agreement.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Alex's compliant demeanor, Lü Bao felt a surge of satisfaction.
So it goes...
After discussing for a while, Alex respectfully withdrew.
...
Early the next day, the convoy of the Third Squad, led by Peng Le and Alex, once again swaggered out.
This time, both sides watching the monitoring screens had completely different feelings.
The people on the side of Guangbei Jia, after receiving Shen Han's report, had a very solemn expression. Especially Guangbei Jia, who had spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The power of Peng Le and Alex's faction was rapidly expanding.
And the maximum benefits she could offer were not difficult to obtain recognition from Peng Le and Alex, especially since she had received a secret report.
After Shen Han, Lü Bao also went to find Peng Le and Alex!
This made them all extremely uncomfortable, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles!
"What exactly do we need to do to bring these people under our command?" Guangbei Jia said with frustration, "This shelter was clearly established by us first, but now, how did it become like this?!"
Classicalke frowned and wanted to say that all of this was caused by Guangbei Jia herself. Starting from the inexplicable founding of the Council resolution, Guangbei Jia had been pushing this shelter into the abyss. Adding to that the unrestrained consolidation of survivors and the inexplicable distribution of military supplies and authority later on.
The governance of the shelter was thriving, but the outstanding cards in their hands were played to pieces by Guangbei Jia. It was like in a game of Landlord, where there was clearly a triple bomb, but Guangbei Jia played a 3. It was absolutely disastrous!
Feeling utterly frustrated, Classicalke thought so but did not say it out loud. Because of their previous foolish decisions, he also bore a share of the responsibility. Moreover, he didn't want to hurt the beautiful and kind-hearted woman in front of him. He loved her more than he loved himself. Besides, what they were doing was not morally wrong. What was wrong was the human heart.
What was wrong was this post-apocalyptic world.
Meanwhile, Lü Weijiang and others, who were also watching the monitoring screens, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Great! Excellent! I never thought that this time, we not only successfully captured Alex smoothly, but also managed to bring over Peng Le's subordinates on the side! It's truly a blessing!" Lü Weijiang laughed with a flushed face.
Thinking of Peng Le parading with the powerful Third Squad that had been revitalized, his heart couldn't help but feel excited.
"Peng Le, oh Peng Le! Despite all your calculations, in the end, you're still making a wedding dress for me! Hahaha!" Lü Weijiang turned triumphantly and asked Lü Qi behind him, "Where are Lü Bao and the others now?"
Lü Qi picked up a specially made encrypted intercom, exchanged a few words, and replied, "Father, Brother Qi is already in the designated location, ready for ambush as discussed with Alex. We're just waiting for Alex to bring Peng Le and the Third Squad to our doorstep!" "Good! Good! Good!" Lü Weijiang repeated three times, his face becoming even more flushed. He was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly.
With this, the majority of the resources collection team's strength is now entirely in our hands! Our grand plan is truly just around the corner!" Beside him, Ping Deyuan said with a triumphant smile, "As for the City Defense Unit, we have also opened a gap there. If everything goes smoothly, it won't be long before a squad from the City Defense Unit secretly leans towards us!"
The situation was becoming clearer and more favorable for them. People in the room couldn't help but get excited. Lü Weijiang licked his lips, his mouth slightly curved upward, as he thought maliciously in his mind, "Guangbei Jia, once I control the entire shelter, let's see if you dare to refuse me!"
...
At the same time, Lü Bao and his elite team had already ambushed at the location designated
by him and Alex.
It was a small town outside Jiangcheng City.
The people in the town were all dead, leaving only a few scattered zombies roaming the streets. The town appeared desolate and eerie. The autumn wind swept through, lifting large patches of leaves and garbage.
Lü Bao's men were hidden in the buildings on both sides of the street, aiming their dark gun barrels at the street. According to the agreement, Alex would lead Peng Le through this town's street on their way to collect firearms and ammunition from the police station at the
town center.
As soon as Alex led Peng Le through this inevitable passage, the modified large truck of the Second Squad would suddenly rush out from both sides, completely blocking the road. Then, they would capture Peng Le if he surrendered and gradually control the members of the Third Squad. If Peng Le refused to surrender, Alex would launch an attack, assassinate Peng Le, and forcibly merge the Third Squad.
...
However, as time passed, Lü Bao, eagerly waiting, still hadn't seen the arrival of the Third Squad's convoy.
