I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 868: 1 peach kills 3 soldiers

Because of what Qin Zhong said, the eyes of Hei Wang and others showed desire. If they could really get such a powerful weapon, their strength would surely achieve a qualitative leap.

“I wonder what the government’s criteria are for judging the nature of a gathering place?”

After hesitating for a moment, the Black King asked cautiously, "We, the gathering place of Anyuan County, have always been dedicated to the country. We established this place only to protect the people, and we have no intention of becoming king or hegemon."

"Haha, the judging criteria... naturally I will decide!"

Seeing the Black King's cautious expression, Qin Zhong's face suddenly turned cold. He said, "You have established a gathering place in troubled times to shelter the people. This is indeed a great achievement! But from what I understand, you seem to have driven out the elderly, weak, and sick who have no fighting power, leaving them to fend for themselves. This behavior seems unkind!"

"Uh!" Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Hei Wang and others looked at each other, and their hearts tightened.

They had discussed this before they came, fearing that Qin Chong would use the issue of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled to cause trouble for them.

Because they were well prepared, even though everyone was surprised at the moment, they had a plan to deal with it, so they were not nervous.

"Commander, I think you misunderstood!"

After exchanging a glance, Young Master Tian slowly stepped forward and said softly, "We did expel the old, weak, and sick, but we definitely didn't leave them to fend for themselves. With such a large gathering place like ours, it's truly difficult to support hundreds of thousands of people and over ten thousand soldiers..."

At this point, Young Master Tian glanced at Qin Zhong and saw that he seemed to be lost in thought, so he continued, "Under this situation, our supplies can only be distributed according to work, not according to need. Ordinary people who want food can only obtain it by repairing the city walls or collecting supplies..."

"That's right!"

At this point, the Black King interjected, "Those old, weak, and disabled people, using age or disability as an excuse, refused to work. At first, we gave them some food, but their appetites only grew. Meanwhile, ordinary people began to grow dissatisfied! Why should they have to work themselves to death for food, while these old, weak, and disabled people can just stretch out their hands for clothes and eat their meals? Eventually, this supply-demand contradiction became increasingly acute, so we drove these people out of the gathering place..."

As he spoke, the Black King sighed and said helplessly: "Chief, we are really helpless. If we were not doing this, others would have rebelled long ago."

"Oh? I see. It seems I misunderstood you."

Hearing the echoes of Young Master Tian and the Black King, Qin Zhong smiled faintly and said, "Alright, I'll investigate this matter myself. We'll discuss the right and wrong later! Of course, you've done a great deed by establishing such a large gathering place and sheltering so many ordinary people! I'll apply to my superiors, and as long as you pass the inspection, I'll allocate some weapons to you!"

"Really? Then I'll have to trouble you, Chief..." Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Hei Wang and others immediately showed joy on their faces.

They understood that since Qin Zhong was not pursuing the matter of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled at this moment, he would certainly not investigate it further in the future.

Now, as long as they can win the favor of this leader, they may get a share of those new weapons.

Thinking of this, the four of them looked at Qin Zhong with more eager eyes. Even the charming woman, who had been shrouded in fear, had a charming look in her eyes again.

……

"Haha, I can only do my best, but I can't guarantee anything."

Looking at the excited expressions of several people, Qin Zhong smiled faintly, took out four laser guns that had been prepared long ago, and threw them to Hei Wang and others.

"In view of your contributions, I will give you a few weapons to try out. These laser guns are easy to operate, so you can try them out on your own when you return."

"Thank you, thank you, Chief!" Looking at the laser guns in their hands, Hei Wang and others were excited and kept expressing their gratitude.

At this moment, Qin Zhong suddenly said, "By the way, once we confirm, the supplies allocated by the higher-ups will arrive soon. I'd like to ask, once the supplies arrive, who will receive them? If it's confirmed, I'll contact the recipient directly next time."

"This……"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, the faces of the four Black Kings froze. Although they jointly managed the gathering place, their forces were independent and could not separate the big and small kings.

In other words, whoever gets this batch of weapons will have the power to swallow up the other three forces, and then it will be no problem for them to dominate Anyuan County.

Thinking of this, a trace of vigilance and murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the four people as they looked at each other. For these people, they had to get this batch of supplies no matter what!

"Never mind. It seems you're managed separately, just like the other gathering places. It doesn't matter. I'll observe you for a while, and then I'll choose a suitable recipient from among you and hand over the supplies to him."

After saying that, Qin Zhong waved his hand and said, "Alright everyone, I have a lot of things to do. If you have nothing to do, go back first! I will naturally come to you after I finish my work."

"Yes!"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Hei Wang and others were stunned at first, then responded in unison, and then led their men to the center of the city.

Watching their backs gradually going away, Qin Zhong smiled slightly. He had just used the strategy of Yan Zi, the strategy of killing three men with one peach. Even if this strategy failed, it would be enough to make them suspicious of each other.

As long as there is a rift between people, it is easy for others to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong smiled and suddenly said to the air, "Wu Jun, keep an eye on that woman called Mei Nu. I want to know her every move."

"Got it!" As Qin Zhong spoke, Wu Jun's response came from the shadows not far away from him.

"Haha, a big stick plus a carrot. I think this carrot is enough for the four of you to fight over." After receiving Wu Jun's reply, Qin Zhong smiled faintly and muttered to himself.

On the other side, on the road leading to the city center, Tiger Blade Su Wen touched his scarred bald head and suddenly asked, "Tell me, did that kid take his words seriously?"

"That's probably true. Not to mention his soldiers are elite and capable, those powerful weapons alone are not something that ordinary people can possess."

Hearing Hu Dao's question, Tian Gongzi fiddled with the laser gun in his hand and pulled the trigger at the distant wall.

"Shhhhh!"

After a few soft sounds, several orange-yellow energy beams instantly pierced the wall with holes.

"Hiss... so powerful!"

Witnessing the power of the laser gun, the pupils of Black King and the others suddenly contracted. The firing rate and power of this laser gun were far beyond the reach of their old-fashioned rifles.

Seeing the power of the laser gun, these people remained calm on the surface, but secretly vowed in their hearts that they would be the ones to receive the weapons no matter what.

As long as we have these powerful weapons, the day when we dominate this gathering place will not be far away.

"These people are certainly state agents, but their motives may not be as pure as they claim."

Taking his eyes off the laser gun, the Black King shook his head and said, "Let me see, they're probably planning to take over our base. The reason they want to select the recipients of the weapons from among us is simply because they want us to kill each other!"
