Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 149 The End of the World (65)

Back to the present, the head of the Zhang family proposed to the base commander and the deputy base commander that Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao live with him for a while, which made the base commander and the deputy base commander very angry. They understood that the other party knew that they could not kill Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao, so they planned to use this roundabout way to make them uncomfortable. There are so many ways to torture people without killing them. The base commander and the deputy base commander were not happy when they thought that their children would end up like that.

The deputy base commander looked grimly at Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei standing nearby. "These two were originally members of Li Zeliang's team. If you were to say that the death of your two children, Master Zhang, was caused by their poor protection, wasn't it because of this group of people? Why are our children the only ones to take the blame for this mistake?"

Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei frowned slightly, but did not fight back, because they knew that even if the head of the Zhang family thought so in his heart, he would hate Pei Shu and others who tried to cover up the truth more. The main reason was that the other party already knew the internal situation of Li Zeliang's team and knew that these team members had raised objections, but Li Zeliang did not accept them. Therefore, their fault was smaller.

Patriarch Zhang slammed the table, "Stop making excuses! If Zhuang Zitao and that girl from the Fang family hadn't suggested going to the supermarket, would my child have gotten into trouble? They knew the team members were exhausted and should have returned to the base in time to ensure everyone's safety, but they still acted recklessly! In the end, this result was caused! Therefore, the primary responsibility for this matter lies with your Zhuang and Fang families!"

Even though Patriarch Zhang, who understood his children's temperaments, knew they must have willingly gone along, he was taking his anger out on the Zhuang and Fang families. But he couldn't help it. Why did everyone else go, only his children's car crashed, and only his children died? The Zhuang, Fang, and Pei families were fine, so why? So Patriarch Zhang wondered, if the Zhuang and Fang children hadn't asked to go to the supermarket, how could they have encountered that Level 4 zombie, and how could they have gotten into trouble? Who else could he blame but them?

The deputy base commander was furious and slammed the table. "That's not what I said! Lao Zhang, if your children don't want to go to that supermarket, can my Zitao force them? You've lost your child, so I completely understand why you're angry. But you can't do this! You took my Zitao away right off the street! How can you do that?"

Patriarch Zhang: "If I didn't take him away in the street, you would have sent him away, right? Don't say you don't have such plans. We all understand each other! If it was your child who lost his, would you have reasoned with me?"

"You!" The deputy base commander was unable to refute.

When he learned that his children were kidnapped on the street by people sent by the head of the Zhang family, his reaction was the same as that of the team leader. He knew that his children must have concealed the truth from the team leader, which led to the error in their information. The Zhang family then learned the real situation, so this situation was very unfavorable to them. Therefore, he did have this plan, but the Zhang family not only acted too quickly, but also hid the children in a very secluded place. He and the base commander secretly sent many people to look for them, but they could not find the children's location, so they had to come to negotiate with the head of the Zhang family.

And just as Patriarch Zhang said, if something really happened to his own child, he would definitely do the same as Patriarch Zhang, and it might even be more intense. It can only be said that both sides know each other too well, and there is nothing wrong with the other party doing this.

Seeing that the deputy base commander was speechless, the base commander cursed the deputy base commander in his heart for being useless. Before coming, the other party vowed that he would appease the head of the Zhang family, but the talks broke down not long after. He slammed the table and shouted, but he couldn't win the argument. It was really shameful. No wonder he could teach a useless descendant like Zhuang Zitao.

The base commander believed that his daughter, Pei Shu, was only guilty of encouraging Patriarch Zhang's children to go along, and had done nothing else. Even if they tried to cover up the truth later, everyone had contributed to it, so Patriarch Zhang couldn't blame it all on his daughter, right? Therefore, he was calmer than the deputy base commander and suggested giving Patriarch Zhang some benefits.

That is, from the materials exchanged between the Sunshine Base and the National Base in the next ten years, the part that belongs to the base director will be taken out, and 90% of it will be given to the Zhang family.

The base commander thought that this was already very good. Ten years was still 90%. If the other party wanted more, it would be greedy.

But Patriarch Zhang disagreed. "Base Commander, do you think I, Old Zhang, am a fool? If you offered 90% of the Pei family's wealth to make up for your daughter's mistakes, I might consider it. But if you only offer your own share, you're fooling a fool."

The base commander's face turned grim. "Old Zhang, although I'm the base commander, I don't have the power to order everyone in the Pei family to contribute 90% to make up for this matter. And I've been very sincere. Ten years!"

"Ten years is nothing to you?" Patriarch Zhang interrupted, shouting, "There's no hope for our Zhang family! We have no descendants! Do you understand? You're only offering ten years as compensation. That's nothing compared to sincerity! And even if you could get someone in your family to compensate me for 90%, there's no way I'd return your child so quickly!"

The base commander pointed at the other man's nose and said, "Zhang Nian! Don't push your luck! You're planning to break up with me, aren't you?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of falling out with you? My Zhang family's direct descendants no longer have bloodline inheritance, so we're not afraid of fighting with you! Come on if you dare!" As the head of the Zhang family finished speaking, the Zhang family members around him were ready.

Even though the Zhang family members here are not of direct blood, they were all raised by the direct line, and the head of the Zhang family knows how to unite people's hearts and treats the side branches of the Zhang family with great courtesy and attention, so they are also willing to go through life and death for the head of the Zhang family.

The base commander and deputy base commander were well aware of the Zhang family's cohesiveness, which was why they feared the Zhang family but could not dismantle or deal with it. They had brought a number of people with them before arriving to ensure their own safety, but a real fight was not the outcome they wanted.

There will definitely be casualties in this fight, and the scene will certainly not be concealed. After all, the fights between the superpowers are not ordinary fists and kicks. When the hostile forces find out that there is an internal fight inside their Sunshine Base, they will definitely be very happy. Some black-hearted people will take this opportunity to attack them. Don’t say that they are now under the protection of the national base and the other party dare not do so. If the other party really does so, the national base is far away and their base will be destroyed. What’s the use of waiting for the national base to react and come to help?

So when the head of the Zhang family said he wanted to fight, they hesitated again.

Seeing them like this, Patriarch Zhang couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't have this plan, then why don't you sit down and continue chatting?"
