The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Li Zongkai saw Liao Youzhi looking at him and was about to speak when the door of the private room was knocked and the food was served.

The waiter opened the door, and a waiter and a chef each pushed a small cart that was specially used for serving food in the restaurant. Many exquisite bowls and dishes were placed on the upper, middle and lower layers.

Soon, steaming and fragrant dishes were placed on the table, four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, braised lion's head, pork belly and hen soup, stir-fried meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms...

In terms of the ingredients and exquisiteness of the dishes, they are certainly not as good as the banquets before the disaster, but they are definitely explosive now. How many people are struggling to survive in hunger and cold, while the leaders of the survivors have returned to their previous diet level, which is even better!

Equality has never existed. In the early stages of a disaster, almost everyone is reduced to their original state. Some people die in fear and anxiety, some explode in anger in desperation, and some rise up and lead more people to survive. The stronger you are, the more resources you can get.

"Come on, everyone, have a taste. I emptied my warehouse to prepare this table of dishes. Hahaha. But forget about the alcohol. I guess none of you will drink. President Li, you seemed to have something to say just now. Please continue."

Liao Youzhi told everyone to start eating, then looked at Li Zongkai again, trying to continue the previous topic.

Li Zongkai symbolically took a piece of white-cut chicken and said slowly: "Instead of rushing directly into the enemy's base camp, why don't we try to lure them into a trap? Once the enemy's leader is captured, he will be in chaos. At that time, he will collapse without any attack. Isn't it better?"

Gong Chengming, who had always had little presence, glanced at Li Zongkai obscurely, and then ate his meal slowly and calmly, as if he had no business coming here to accompany the group and was just there to eat and enjoy.

"Lie into a trap, um... tell me in detail?" Liao Youzhi asked curiously.

"We are now assuming that the group of zombies were brought here by the group from Tianma Island. We don't know what they were thinking. I think we can send someone to talk to them, show humility and friendliness, and invite their people to the city for a talk. Then we will have the final say on how to deal with them. The safety factor is extremely high!"

Li Zongkai's overall image is very stable, and his ideas tend to be conservative. Things need to be done, but he cares more about his own safety.

Logically speaking, such a safe plan should be recognized, at least by some people, but the table was surprisingly quiet. You could see that everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces. As for what they were thinking about, only they themselves knew!

"Old Li, your method doesn't sound dangerous, but it's very difficult to implement. Nowadays, everyone is as smart as a monkey. Who dares to run into someone else's territory casually?"

Liu Yao shook his head and said that he felt that the plan proposed by Li Zongkai was not practical.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Xinqi would have been angry at Liu Yao at this time, but this time he was very quiet. While others were talking, he turned the round table and kept picking up food to eat. If you didn't know, you would think he was a starving ghost reincarnated.

"What Chief Liu said makes sense, but not everyone has such a close relationship as ours..."

Liao Youzhi pretended to be in deep thought, and suddenly looked at Gong Chengming who was chewing slowly beside him, and said: "Brother Gong, don't just eat like Lao Yang. You own half of the survivor alliance. Come up with some ideas for everyone!"

"Chief Liao, you're saying this as if I know how to eat!"

Yang Xinqi put down his chopsticks awkwardly, picked his teeth with his tongue, and said, "Captain Gong, don't rush to make a statement, let me speak first, otherwise Chief Liao will think I'm a glutton!"

"First of all, I don't agree with President Li's plan, because I really can't think of any reason to lure the snake out of its hole. Even if we really invite people to Qincheng, we can take the opportunity to seize Tianma Island. Once the news gets out, our reputation will be in tatters..."

"It's not a big deal that no one dares to trade with us. I'm afraid we will become the target of public criticism! Well, I have finished what I want to say. Captain Gong, please go ahead."

The expression on Gong Chengming's face was somewhat similar to Li Zongkai's. He said calmly with a slight smile, "It's enough for the alliance to have one person in charge. Brother Liao, you will be the one to make the decision on these matters."

"That won't do!" Liao Youzhi waved his hand unhappily, saying, "You must tell us your plan today. You have investigated the north before, so you should know a lot about that area. Come on, I know you have a lot of ideas, don't hide them."

Seeing that he couldn't get the upper hand, Gong Chengming put down his chopsticks, picked up the stubbed cigar and relit it, saying, "Actually, I agree with President Li's plan for three reasons. First, our current living environment may seem safe, but it is actually very fragile. We must always be on guard against zombies and outside forces taking advantage of the situation to rob us."

"Second, going north from the city to Tianma Island is not far, but it's not close either. The shortest distance should be the Apocalypse Group, which is about 30 kilometers. The more distant civilization guards are more than 50 kilometers away. I'm sure you all know the risks of long-distance combat better than I do."

"The third is the problem of information. We certainly know ourselves, but we know very little about the situation on Tianma Island. I believe that it will be no problem to gather the forces of the four families to attack one place, but the final loss is difficult to estimate."

"As for the problem Captain Yang just mentioned, I don't think we need to pay too much attention to it. In the end times, people care more about fists. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak and is qualified to make the rules. It is unnecessary to become the target of public criticism. There are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests!"

Compared with Li Zongkai's vague plan, Gong Chengming directly put forward one, two, and three points, and also analyzed Yang Xinqi's views, which was very convincing.

The scene fell into silence again, with only the sound of chewing.

After a moment, Liao Youzhi let out a long sigh and said, "It's not easy to get together in this world nowadays. We must come up with a plan tonight. Let's not be reserved. Let's just vote and decide! Come on, raise your hands if you support calling them directly to reason with them."

This is a matter of reason, but that is not the same. Everyone knows the power of convincing people with reason, and soon two people slowly raised their hands.

"Fuck, I didn't expect that we could pee in the same pot, God must be blind!"

Liu Yao turned his head away with a strange expression and didn't look at Yang Xinqi who raised his hand with him.

Yang Xinqi rolled his eyes at Liu Yao and snorted in contempt. He was too lazy to argue with him and just said, "There are many villages in the north, and there are large areas of arable land. None of us should pretend to be saints. We should kill the northern forces as soon as possible and divide up the resources!"

Liao Youzhi nodded without commenting, and continued, "Then raise your hands if you think that a direct attack is too radical and that we should use tactics to solve the problem."

Gong Chengming and Li Zongkai looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.

"The votes are split, ho ho, two to two. I still don't know what to do!"

Liao Youzhi pouted and spread his hands.

"Chief Liao, how could you forget yourself? What's your attitude?" Liu Yao asked with a strange expression.

"Ah, right, right, haha, look at my brain, I was so busy thinking of ways that I missed my vote."

Liao Youzhi slapped his head in annoyance, then pretended to ponder. He had not forgotten, he was just pretending.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite subtle, with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Gong Chengming closed his eyes slightly, as if he was confident about Liao Youzhi's choice. Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi also looked confident and smoked cigars. Li Zongkai, who had hardly eaten before, started to eat heartily.

After about two or three minutes, Liao Youzhi tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I think we should make a concerted effort and march directly to the city to reason with them. After all, the longer the night, the more trouble we will have!"

As Liao Youzhi spoke, the voting result became three to two, and the matter was settled!

After hearing what Liao Youzhi said, Gong Chengming's body stiffened obviously, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Liao Youzhi's decision surprised him very much. Although he was the second in command, but outside, no matter who is the first or second in command, as long as one person makes a clear statement, how could the other person sing a different tune?

Putting yourself in his shoes, if Liao Youzhi had expressed his opinion first, Gong Chengming would not object no matter what his idea was!

Compared with Gong Chengming's accident, Li Zongkai just put down his chopsticks and made a regretful expression, and didn't seem to care too much. For him, whether it was taking the initiative or setting a trap, the key was to get things done.

"Okay, I knew Chief Liao was wise, hahaha."

Liu Yao got the result he wanted and was naturally very happy. He even gave Liao Youzhi a thumbs up.

"Oh, thank you so much. Although I think we should just march directly to the city, we still need some strategies. We can't just rush in with our brothers. God knows what tricks the other side has!"

Liao Youzhi smiled and waved his hands, then said seriously: "My men have had some confrontations with the other side, and Brother Gong has also been deep in the north, but the information he has is very limited, and we must do all the necessary investigations.

I propose that we send five outstanding brothers from each of our four families to form a special investigation team to go to the north to investigate the situation. It would be best if we could directly capture a few people from Tianma Island and bring them back. Do you have any objections?"
