Hai Huzi, a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth, strode into the living room, his gaze like a knife, sweeping over everyone. His eyes settled on Yue Jiaxue, whose pupils shimmered with golden light. In this room, Yue Jiaxue was the most deserving of his attention. Of course, he would also pay attention to the young married woman holding a gun, but she wasn't holding one now.
Dongzi, who had been following Hai Huzi, quickly pulled a chair from under the dining table with a bowed back, placed it behind Hai Huzi, and then diligently lit Hai Huzi's cigarette before respectfully stepping back.
Hai Huzi nodded with satisfaction. Cultured people really had good judgment, unlike those other two idiots who couldn't even arrange a chair and just stood there like statues!
"That woman, you killed Lei Zi. You need to give our Tiger King Alliance an explanation for this, don't you?"
Hai Huzi plopped down, crossed his legs, leaned back in the chair, took a deep drag from his cigarette, and exhaled a smoke ring. This was the most imposing gesture he could think of.
"Those who deserve to die, are killed. If you're not convinced, let's fight."
Yue Jiaxue's icy gaze returned his, her voice devoid of warmth, like shattering ice.
Her personality was already cold towards outsiders. If she were the only Mutant, she might have tolerated it for her sister's sake. But now, there was also a little loser who was a Mutant. Two against one, she felt completely confident.
"You all leave first."
Zuo Feng patted Da Bai Tu's hand, signaling the three women to retreat.
The young married woman reacted the fastest, immediately standing up. She supported Da Bai Tu with her left hand and pulled Yue Jiayu with her right. The three headed straight for the bedroom. Matters between Mutants were not something they could interfere with.
Yue Jiaxue's response nearly made Hai Huzi choke on his cigarette. This wasn't what Dongzi had analyzed. Shouldn't you be asking us how we plan to handle it?
How do I respond to this? Hai Huzi was at a loss and couldn't help but turn to Dongzi.
This woman's words were too confrontational, not suitable for an Alliance Leader's wife, Hai Huzi had already decided. This woman would be demoted to a concubine! He wanted the other twin to be the Alliance Leader's wife.
After all—behind every successful man stands a delicate, soft, and easily pushed over woman.
"Our Tiger King Alliance is not here to cause trouble this time. Although it's the apocalypse, everything still needs to be reasonable! We came with sincerity, so I hope we can sit down and talk calmly and nicely."
Dongzi pushed up his glasses. He knew it was his turn. This Hai Huzi was truly stupid; if the script wasn't right, he couldn't improvise. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes—how could such a person become a Mutant? His brain was full of shit. Why wasn't it him who awakened? This wasn't fair!
Dongzi's gaze turned to Yue Jiaxue, but Yue Jiaxue completely ignored him, not even glancing his way. He then cast his gaze towards Diamond Girl. Well... Diamond Girl was looking down, counting ants. Helpless, Dongzi could only look at the grim-faced Zuo Feng—someone had to pick up his line, right? If no one responded, how could the show go on?
"Keep talking."
Zuo Feng's lips curled into a cold sneer, and the killing intent in his eyes had already begun to gather. He didn't want to hear Dongzi's reasoning; he just wanted to eliminate these people in front of him. In the apocalypse, a few men knowing there were people inside and forcibly breaking down the door—even an idiot would know they weren't up to any good.
He needed time to think about how to eliminate these idiots as quickly as possible. Since this bespectacled man wanted to talk, then he could talk a bit longer, giving Zuo Feng more time to plan.
At this moment, Dongzi felt that Zuo Feng was a saving angel; it was almost a dead silence! He quickly cleared his throat and continued:
"We already know the full story of this matter. The initial fault was ours. For this, we can apologize and help you fix the door. As for other compensation, you can propose it; we can discuss all of that. We are willing to compensate for the mistakes we made!"
Dongzi thought, it's just a lock. After fixing it, what else could they compensate for? First, cover up their own mistakes. As for what they planned to do after opening the door? He naturally kept silent about it—to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial.
"But prying open a door, no matter how big the mistake, shouldn't cost a life, should it? Lei Zi has already been killed by you. Since he's dead, we won't talk about 'a life for a life' or anything like that. As long as you join our Tiger King Alliance, this matter will be considered settled. And you have Mutants, and we also have Mutants. A strong alliance benefits everyone. What do you think?"
Dongzi's previously formulated plan was to first use negotiation to gauge the Mutant girl's level of concern for the proprietress and her sister. If the Mutant woman didn't care much for the proprietress, they would directly take the proprietress first, then further pressure the woman to abandon her sister, forcing them to comply.
If the other party resisted, Hai Huzi would hold off the Mutant woman, and the three of them would subdue the two other women, then use them to threaten the Mutant woman. Their ultimate goal was to capture all three women.
But now, he had to change his plan. The numbers were different from what Ban Gen had said.
Now, the other side had 5 women and one man, and critically, there was also a young married woman with a gun. Dongzi also found the head-down Diamond Girl very strange. Dongzi suspected that Diamond Girl was also a Mutant.
This forced him to re-evaluate the situation; direct conflict was not an option. The plan had to be more cautious.
Now, it wasn't something that could be solved by being aggressive. What needed to be done now was to first appease these people. Even if the other party didn't want to join, they had to strongly promote an alliance. As long as they created opportunities for frequent contact, the bottle of obedience potion he had would come in handy—find an opportunity to make them drink it, and things would be much easier.
As for where the obedience potion came from, it was a trick Dongzi used to employ in nightclubs. Dongzi was quite confident in the potion's effects.
Dongzi pondered, a smile plastered on his face, his tone becoming increasingly sincere:
"Everyone is just trying to survive the apocalypse. Why make things difficult for each other? Our Tiger King Alliance has abundant resources, and cooperation benefits both sides. Will you consider it? After all, an extra bit of strength means a greater chance of survival."
Dongzi looked at Yue Jiaxue with genuine and hopeful eyes. His gaze was not fake; he sincerely hoped this woman would join, so he would have a chance to drug her! He now also hoped this woman would nod in agreement.
"Finish talking, then get out. Don't get out, die."
Yue Jiaxue's voice was icy, her killing intent undisguised, as if it could freeze the air.
Just by looking at the leader, Yue Jiaxue knew what kind of people this Tiger King Alliance consisted of. Yue Jiaxue now really wanted to gouge out Hai Huzi's eyes, which were scanning her up and down with lecherous intent.
The bow in her hand was already raised, its golden-glowing arrow tip pointed directly at Hai Huzi's throat.
"Damn it, woman, do you really think I'm afraid of you? We're already giving you enough face by being willing to negotiate. Don't push your luck. If you want to fight, I'll fight you."
Hai Huzi stood up with a 'pah' sound, his arms rapidly swelled, and black fur grew all over his plump body. His muscles bulged, tearing his clothes, transforming into a tiger's body, tiger arms, and tiger claws. His head even turned into a tiger's head, and his pupils became amber. He was completely a bipedal fierce tiger, full of bestial nature.
Hai Huzi remembered the base's plan; he had to be tougher than that woman! Now that the woman dared to raise her bow, he also had to show off his muscles!
Dongzi's face was almost a bitter gourd. This Hai Huzi's brain was full of shit.
He knew, of course, that Hai Huzi was acting according to the plan, but even a pig's brain could realize that the original plan was for three women in the room, and now there were five women and a strong man. Didn't Hai Huzi react to this?
And didn't you notice that the Diamond Girl was off? Her eyes clearly weren't those of a normal person; instead, they looked like a Mutant's. Plus, that young married woman had a gun!
Hai Huzi, how dare you! Dongzi was burning with anxiety; the situation was sliding towards the brink of losing control.
Actually, Hai Huzi hadn't noticed these things. After entering the room, Hai Huzi's mind was completely filled with women. As for Diamond Girl, he saw her, but he didn't think of her as a Mutant. All he thought was whether there were diamonds there, how curious, it was killing him, he had to check.
"Damn it! I'm laying it all out here today!"
Hai Huzi roared.
"I have only one bottom line—no matter what, I must take the proprietress today! If you dare to stop me, then it's war!"
When it came to women, Hai Huzi was truly obedient, strictly following Dongzi's plan. First, aggressively demand the proprietress. If the woman relented, then further demand the Mutant woman's sister, step by step, testing the Mutant woman's bottom line.
As long as the woman disagreed, he would hold off the Mutant woman, and the other three would subdue the other two women, then coerce the Mutant woman into compromising.
Even now, Hai Huzi hadn't realized that the number of people in the room was different from the number planned.
