Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 279 Conspiracy
"What can we gain?" Yang Long asked the biggest question. "President Qin, we are just two ships passing each other by. We will never see each other again in a little over a month."

"Who said we won't meet again?" Qin Ziwen said with a half-smile.

Yang Long's pupils contracted.

His expression was extremely interesting.

Qin Ziwen's words contained a great deal of meaning.

"Will we ever have a chance to meet again?"

"Yes," Qin Ziwen answered succinctly.

Yang Long suddenly thought of something, "Just like Liu Ze's ability to set anchor points? Function cards?!"

Qin Ziwen did not explain.

But silence is also an answer.

Yang Long was stunned. After you leave, will you still be able to come back often?
This is too bullying!

I thought I'd only be suppressed by you bunch of perverts for a little over a month, but you're telling me you'll be coming over often from now on, planning to suppress us for life.

The thought of this made Yang Longren numb.

Qin Ziwen patiently persuaded, "Think about it from another perspective. At least you're not trapped here forever. We can sell you some goods, such as food and tools, to help you improve your lives."

Yang Long's lips twitched. Not only did they suppress us, they also wanted to treat us as a dumping ground for their goods.

Isn't this just a colony?!

However, the island environment is resource-poor. Although it is rich in marine life, there are giant sea monsters in the surrounding waters, making it very dangerous to go into the sea.

He certainly didn't think that such a vast ocean contained only a few sea creatures.

If Qin Ziwen and the others can come back, it might not be a bad thing.

Yang Long said, "President Qin, if we agree to be incorporated, you won't ask us to launch a direct attack on the Hongding Building, will you?"

I've seen the inside of their building. The environment is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if all of us from our urban village were wiped out, we definitely couldn't take it."

"No rush," Qin Ziwen waved his hand.

"I recruited you because none of you have ever eaten people." Qin Ziwen stared into Yang Long's eyes. "Are you willing to cooperate with those who have eaten people?"

"...To be honest, Chairman Qin."

Yang Long remained silent for a long time before speaking again, "When I first heard about what happened in that building, I was indeed shocked. At first, I thought that among so many people, there must be some who were forced, or even those who were innocent."

He paused for a moment and looked towards the Hongding Building in the distance.

"After getting to know him better, I realized how naive I had been."

"In that hellish place where corpses of the starving are everywhere, the first thing to be devoured is conscience. The first time may be forced, but the second time it may not be."

“I want to cooperate with you, but I’m more afraid that after you leave, we’ll have to deal with the more than two thousand people at the Hongding Building. If they settle accounts with us then, we won’t be able to resist,” Yang Long said truthfully. “That’s also our biggest concern. Even if you can come back here, you can’t keep an eye on us every day.”

"President Yang, to be honest, do you think you can win this competition?"

Yang Long remained silent.

"Since we can't win, it's a given that you'll be left on this map. Have you considered how your urban village will cope with the Red Ding Building after we leave? Can this island support more than 3,000 of you? If there's a food shortage on the island in the future, will you become food for the Red Ding Building? They have this custom."

Yang Long was horrified; he considered this possibility.

No, it's very likely.

Qin Ziwen chuckled, "It doesn't matter to me; we can just leave. But you can't. I'm a kind-hearted person and can't stand seeing good people being bullied. Chairman Yang, if you're not willing, we'll leave immediately." "Chairman Qin, I'm willing to cooperate," Yang Long readily agreed, no longer refusing.

"Haha, let's take advantage of the time while we're still here and finish them off in one fell swoop!" Qin Ziwen tempted, "They're human too, they'll come out to find food when they're hungry, I don't believe they have enough food in their building."

"It's not impossible," Yang Long said cautiously.

Qin Ziwen laughed and said, "That suits me just right. If they dare to continue to be 'self-sufficient,' the first thing to collapse will be their internal morale. Right now, there is no leader in the Blood Letter, and the level masters are all scheming. Who will eat whom? If it really comes to that, they will fight each other first. As long as they are not a united front, it will be easy to defeat them."

"What we need to do is dig ditches around their building, build wooden walls, and seal them off inside."

"By waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out, we can trap them in a fierce battle." Yang Long understood Qin Ziwen's idea.

Yang Long was full of admiration; he felt that Qin Ziwen and his team were both strong and cautious.

Despite being so far ahead of them, they still resort to such a cautious approach.

Little did they know that Qin Ziwen simply didn't want too many people to die on his side.

Qin Ziwen said, "Now that we're cooperating, we'll leave the digging of ditches and building of wooden walls to you, Chairman Yang. We'll take care of security and provide you with food. I'm sure you and the Hongding Building are running out of food."

Yang Long did not deny that there was indeed not much food left in the urban villages.

As far as he knew, there wasn't much food left in the Hongding Building.

After all, there are more than two thousand people, and the number of people eating, drinking, and relieving themselves every day is enormous.

"Alright, Chairman Qin, then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."

"Pleasant to work with."

Qin Ziwen smiled slightly, but he did not mention his idea of ​​taking some of the civilians from the urban village with him.

If I had spoken out, today's cooperation might not have happened.

Yang Long then returned to the urban village, and a moment later, they began their operation.

Meanwhile, some people disembarked from the deck, took their weapons and equipment, and entered the island's forest.

A large number of people emerging from the urban village approached the Hongding Building.

They formed a circle and cleared a layer of vegetation around the building.

"What are they doing?" Upstairs, Li Zecheng gritted his teeth. "It seemed like the people on the ship were talking to people from the urban village. Could it be that these bastards have defected to the enemy?"

"Boss! They look like they're going to set fire to the nearby forest!" someone shouted from inside the building.

Li Zecheng hurriedly went to the window, first glancing warily at the seaside to make sure the large ship wasn't firing arrows, before he could then look downstairs with peace of mind.

Flames could be seen rising from the forest surrounding the building.

From time to time, members of the Jianghu Society could be seen carrying torches and setting fires in the forest.

"Are they trying to smoke us out?" Not only Li Zecheng, but many people in the Hongding Building had this question in mind.

Downstairs, several members of the Jianghu Society ran over, "Brother Long, we've ordered everything nearby, is it ready?"

"No, keep burning, keep setting fires! Make sure there isn't a single tree within a 500-meter radius of the Hongding Building!"

Yang Long's eyes were ruthless. Since he had decided to sever ties with Hongding Building, he had to completely destroy them! He was better off eliminating them now than waiting for their future retaliation.
