Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The situation reversed instantly.

Although the hunters still wielded swords and axes, their morale was instantly dampened after their main fighting force was captured.

Su Su's pupils trembled slightly when she saw the wound on her daughter's neck, but her years of negotiation experience allowed her to calm down instantly: "Even if you've taken two people hostage, I still outnumber you three to one. A real fight wouldn't benefit you at all. So, let's each take a step back..."

As she spoke, Li Zhi had already changed into the Boots of Speed ​​and taken over He Jun from the hand of the Survival Pass.

"Aunt Su, let's stop beating around the bush. I know she's your daughter, and I'm well aware of the value of my bargaining chips. So, there's no question of each of us backing down. All of you, including those on the airship, step back a hundred meters."

After hearing Li Zhi expose He Jun's true identity, Su Su could no longer maintain her composure.

Her eyes turned cold: "We all withdrew, and you went straight onto the airship. What are you going to do if you don't release the people?"

Li Zhi pressed down with the dagger in his hand.

The wound on He Jun's neck instantly changed from a superficial injury to a laceration.

The moment the blood flowed, Su Su's pupils constricted.

"I agree!" Her eyes flashed with fierceness, but her tone remained gentle: "Don't hurt her. You're a daughter too, you have a mother, and your aunt was protecting you the whole time, trying to get you to join us. Have you forgotten that?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Aunt Su, playing the emotional card won't work on me. I'll count to ten, and if you don't retreat to the designated position, my knife might just shoot."

"10, 9, 8..."

"Back off!"

Li Zhi speaks very quickly.

Su Su immediately ordered everyone to retreat, including those on the airship, who slid down using ropes.

"1".

Li Zhi turned around, his gaze sweeping over the three still vigilant Ouhuang and the tightly bound but calm Wurentuya, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Do as we said before."

Teacher Hao: "Don't worry."

After Li Zhi put on the Speed ​​Boots, his speed attribute reached 14.5 points. He covered dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. He climbed up the climbing ladder and saw that the cockpit door had been pried open, but it had not yet been opened.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhi touched the cockpit door, triggering the defense system's identification program, and easily opened the door.

Without delay, she immediately went upstairs, put on her cloak, and took the crossbow and shield before returning to the driver's cab to adjust the direction of the light ballista.

On the plain, both sides standing at opposite ends saw the ballistae on the flying boat turning.

When the ballistae were aimed at the hunters, everyone, including Su Su who was being held down, was filled with fear.

Light crossbows may not be among the most lethal firearms.

But at such close range, no one can physically withstand artillery fire.

Just as they were anxiously wondering if artillery fire would break out, Li Zhi poked his head out and said in a casual tone, "Now you can lead the way."

Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, then paused, surprised: "Lead the way?"

Li Zhi: "Your newbie period has just ended, but you don't seem like you've just arrived. You must have your own base, take me there."

Su Su asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

Li Zhi: "Aunt Su, it's unreasonable that you're allowed to rob us, but we're not allowed to rob someone else to take it back with us, right?"

Urentuya: "No!"

She was still dazed, her speech much slower, but firm and resolute: "The shelter is a collection of supplies we painstakingly stockpiled while those hyenas were off guard. If they take it, we won't have a second chance to stockpile supplies like this. When those hyenas come seeking revenge, we'll all die!"

Su Su softened her voice and said, "We are all compatriots. We never intended to kill you all. If you take all the supplies, it's no different from asking us to die."

She wasn't looking at Li Zhi, but at the three people who were pressing down on He Jun and Wu Rentuya.

His gaze swept around and finally settled on the one who had managed to survive.

"Little girl, if I may be so bold, I'm about the same age as your mother, and my daughter is about your age too. In this godforsaken place, all a mother wants is for her child to have food and drink and survive. If your mother were here, she would definitely make the same choice. I really don't mean to harm you, I just have no other choice!"

For a moment, he wavered in his resolve to stay alive.

But they were quickly interrupted by Li Zhi's delighted voice: "Wow, they really do have a hideout, and quite a lot of supplies! Hurry up and lead the way!"

Su Su looked at Tan Sheng with pleading eyes.

Li Zhi: "Aunt Su, is your only recourse to let children the same age as your daughter kill each other, just to avoid threatening your and your daughter's positions in your team?"

Su Su's expression changed.

Li Zhi used a telepathic card to say, "Master Hao, you and Emperor Ou bring Wurentuya onto your ship. Remember to tie her up tightly and bring He Jun to my ship."

Pointed at by Li Zhi's crossbow, the hunters dared not make any move, and the three who were greedy for survival quickly boarded the ship with their respective hostages.

"lead the way."

Su Su had no choice but to walk ahead.

A group of people walked through the forest.

Li Zhi's flying boat flew ahead, following slowly. After about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up before them.

This is a canyon.

In the middle is a river, and below the mountains on both sides are plains of varying widths.

At its narrowest point, it may only be wide enough for one person to pass through, while at its widest point, the diameter exceeds three hundred meters.

The two sizable wooden cabins were built at the two widest points adjacent to the mountain range, and these two points were mutually supportive, with three sides recessed. They were surrounded by stone walls and watchtowers, making full use of the terrain to create a situation that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Most importantly, not far away, there was a flying boat.

This hunter group was richer than she had imagined.

The airship was a large target, and the woman on the lookout tower immediately issued a warning signal.

Li Zhi saw more than a dozen people emerge from the wooden house. The leader of them had a pair of hairy ears, and upon closer inspection, he resembled the hyena beastman from before.

Apart from that, she had no other orcish characteristics.

The leader shouted at Su Su, who was still some distance away, "Aunt Su, where did that flying boat come from? Where's Tuya?"

Before she could get a reply from Su Su, she saw the muzzle of a light crossbow aimed at the entire base.

The next second, the gun barrels shifted, and the bombardment landed on the opposite mountain.

The ground shook violently, smoke rose, and rocks tumbled down, some crashing into the river and creating huge waves that instantly blocked part of the water flow.

The cannon barrel turned back.

An unfamiliar voice echoed across the plains:

"Move out all your supplies, including food, clothing, raw materials, and weapons. If you hoard any, I will bomb your base."
