"Haha..." The young man's expression grew increasingly awkward.
"Let me guess, is it your girlfriend?"
"Uh……"
The middle-aged man's words completely stunned the young man, who just stood there awkwardly laughing.
"Never mind." The middle-aged man didn't blame anyone, but gave a helpless smile and said softly, "Since we didn't manage to get the machines, let's postpone the relocation!"
"Anyway, it's not anything particularly urgent."
"Hehe~" the young man chuckled twice and invited, "Brother Wang, call the others, I'll treat you to drinks!"
"You seem pretty happy, kid!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the young man with some surprise.
"Consider it an apology! After all, it was my actions that delayed my work..." the young man explained.
"Is that so..." The middle-aged man, who knew the young man quite well, did not completely believe the young man's reasons, but thought that the other party was hiding something from him.
It's related to my girlfriend...
The middle-aged man had a thoughtful look on his face; after all, he was an experienced man and could guess a little bit about it.
"A lot of new restaurants have opened in my mind lately, where are you planning to take us to eat?"
"It's cheap and affordable," the young man replied instantly.
"Ordinary wine can't satisfy us either..." the uncle reminded him.
"Hiss~" The young man gasped, his teeth aching slightly.
Forget about the villagers; their tastes have become too sophisticated.
"Hey, Brother Wang, listen to me. The village is a bit quiet today, not as lively as usual. It's like the calm before a storm."
"The way you changed the subject was too abrupt. Don't try to fool me with ordinary wine."
"Brother Wang, look at my sincere eyes, do you think I'm trying to fool you?!"
"picture!!!"
Chapter 284 Night Attack
This is impossible to talk about!
The young man mentally grumbled, his right hand touching his bulging wallet, thinking to himself, "I was too hasty."
Spending money to avert disaster is a foregone conclusion.
Since that was the case, Xiao Li stopped worrying about it and went with the middle-aged man he called "Brother Wang" to other factories to invite other workers.
"Brother Wang, I'm not lying to you, the atmosphere in the village is really a bit strange today."
"When did the atmosphere in the village become more relaxed?"
"Too."
The young man was persuaded and nodded in agreement. Ever since Biyou Village became one of the centers of the vortex, the atmosphere had become very strange, and bizarre things began to happen one after another.
At the uncle's shouts, the workers gathered and headed towards a barbecue stall run by someone in the village...
A few hours later, the group of people, having eaten and drunk their fill, sat chatting and talking by the barbecue stall...
Suddenly, a group of people emerged from all parts of the village, moving as swiftly as the wind, heading straight towards the factory and research institute area.
"Hiccup~ Another intruder? There are... quite a lot of them!"
Beside a simple folding table, a burly man with hazy, drunken eyes, seemed somewhat surprised as he held a bamboo skewer with fragrant roasted meat on it.
He took a bite of a piece of roasted meat, tore it off, and chewed it slowly, his posture quite leisurely, completely like watching a show.
"Oh~ Time to watch a show! Come on, have a drink..."
"Boss, another case of beer, ten skewers of grilled lamb, and ten skewers of grilled beef..."
A group of drunkards started making a ruckus, and the noise lingered around the barbecue stand.
Even those who weren't that drunk changed their expressions upon seeing so many people rushing towards the research institute and factory; their drunkenness vanished instantly.
Because the research institute and factory are being relocated, and all defense devices are shut down, this is perhaps the time when the research institute and factory are at their lowest level of defense.
"Stop eating! Stop drinking!"
"Something's happened! Come with me!"
The young man, who was worried about his wallet, hadn't drunk much and was perfectly sober. Seeing so many intruders, he became extremely anxious.
"Don't rush!" A drunken middle-aged man, holding a bottle of liquor in one hand and patting the young man's shoulder with the other, said, "No one in Biyou Village is weak or helpless..."
Even though their Qi cultivation level is relatively ordinary, their personal strength is still quite considerable with the help of various magical artifacts. In particular, defensive magical artifacts are standard equipment for every villager, and they are relatively high-end defensive magical artifacts.
Therefore, this group's raid plan is unlikely to be very effective.
but……
As a member of Biyou Village, how can I stand by and watch my comrades fight on the sidelines?
"Guys, time for some digestive exercise!"
The middle-aged man raised his bottle and roared, "Let's go exercise, then come back and keep drinking..."
"Oh oh oh!!!"
A group of drunkards staggered to their feet and roared excitedly.
The young man standing to the side watched the chaotic scene of the crowd, so drunk that they could barely walk. Were they going to join the battle just to get themselves killed?
After muttering a few complaints to himself, the young man stood in front of the group of drunkards and quickly tried to persuade them...
"Brother Wang... Brothers, wait! You're all so drunk right now, you can only use two or three... five or six tenths of your strength at most. You can't fight the enemy like this! I'll go by myself, you guys keep drinking! It's on me..."
Before the young man could finish speaking, the uncle, referred to as Brother Wang, showed a speechless expression and looked at the young man with an extremely speechless gaze.
Can you even speak? If you can't, then shut up!
Kid, how did you find a girlfriend when you're so bad at talking?
While internally complaining, the uncle glanced at the other drunkards.
As he had expected, after hearing the young man's words, the group of drunkards suddenly stopped and stared at him, their hazy, drunken eyes revealing a sharp light.
The young man took a half step back, feeling as if he were being watched by a pack of wolves.
The middle-aged man, referred to as "Brother Wang," showed no intention of helping the young man out of the predicament; he took a few steps back and moved away from the crowd...
From the older man's perspective, the young man made two mistakes. One was trying to reason with a drunkard. Are drunkards really people who are willing to listen?
No, even if they were willing to listen, they wouldn't listen to you.
Secondly, by saying he's no good in front of a man, and by mocking him so closely, she has already firmly established his hatred.
"Kid, who are you calling...incompatible?!"
A burly, drunk man strode heavily toward the young man. His 1.9-meter height was imposing on the 1.7-meter-tall youth, who was even more imposing, especially when the man looked down at him.
"Kid, whether you can do it or not isn't up to you..."
Another drunkard stepped out from the crowd, pressing his right hand against his left shoulder, gently massaging it...
"I'll let it slide since you're young."
Another drunkard came up to the young man and patted him on the shoulder a few times.
Other drunkards came to the young man's side one after another, saying nothing, only patting him on the shoulder a few times each.
The young man's expression gradually contorted; the drunkards had used considerable force when they patted his shoulder.
After a few blows, he felt that he had lost all feeling in his left shoulder.
"How are you feeling? Can you still fight?"
The only person who didn't pat the young man on the shoulder was the middle-aged man who had left the group earlier. He only came to the young man's side and asked him questions after all the drunks rushed towards the research institute and factory area in a serpentine manner.
“Yes.” The young man raised his undamaged hand, indicating that he still had one hand and could fight.
"In that case, you will come with me."
As they spoke, the two who weren't drunk also ran towards the research institute and factory area.
………………
Meanwhile, in other areas...
Inside the hotel, the commotion outside was palpable; many people had come to the windows or even outside the hotel...
"Is it this lively? Interesting."
"Want to join in? It looks interesting."
"What a bunch of idiots, daring to cause trouble in Biyou Village."
"You'd better help as soon as possible, or you'll miss your chance!"
"I wonder if the deputy village chief of Biyou Village will make a move. I'm really curious..."
People from various factions, witnessing the chaos before them, each took different actions. Some chose to stand by and watch, some chose to record or livestream, some decided to lend a helping hand, and some wanted to fish in troubled waters...
Xu San, Zhang Chulan, and the others naturally chose to help, given their friendly cooperative relationship. Ma Xianhong even agreed to help the "company" train weapon refiners, specifically those skilled in Divine Refinement.
Therefore, they began intercepting the intruders as soon as they appeared...
However, due to the significant difference in numbers, Zhang Chulan and the others' intervention did not cause the intruders much trouble.
Besides, some other forces also stopped some of the invaders. Their reasons for taking action were varied: perhaps they wanted to curry favor with Biyou Village, perhaps they had a cooperative relationship, perhaps they needed something from them, perhaps they were just bored, or perhaps they simply wanted to fight...
the other side……
The intensity of combat was actually lower in the factory and research institute areas, which were the main battlefields.
"Factory manager, there are enemies!"
When the intruders appeared near the factory area, the workers who were moving equipment saw them. Because they had been seen frequently recently, some of the workers who had become accustomed to it turned around and shouted.
"...Prepare for battle!!!"
The managers of the various factories looked at the approaching crowd and thought to themselves, "There are really a lot of people this time..."
