Chapter 421 - 421: Zhao Family Fort! (3)
“Zhao Family Town…”
Luo Bing hesitated for a second and nodded.” Okay!”
“Alright, you can leave first. I’ll call you when the letter is finished!”
“Yes, my lady!”
After the irrelevant people left, Xu Jia Lu took out a pen and paper and began to write.
The opening sentence of the letter clearly stated her identity, especially emphasizing that she, Xu Jia Lu, was from the first noble family of Black Rock
City.
The rest of the letter was relatively unimportant, discussing things like post-apocalyptic development.
There was nothing particularly useful throughout the letter, except for a casual mention at the end about her upcoming birthday in half a month, asking if
Zhao Yu was interested in celebrating with her.
Xu Jia Lu’s true intention in writing this letter was casual but aimed to test Zhao Yu, to see if the party he had found was equally strong with her family.
From her understanding of Zhao Yu, his ability to produce tanks and such a large force meant he definitely had support, likely from a woman.
If Zhao Yu was willing to come for her birthday, it would imply that the woman behind him was minor family. If he refused, it would suggest that the woman behind him was powerful enough that he wouldn’t want to leave her side.
“This bastard…”
As she wrote, Xu Jia Lu became increasingly angry.
She hadn’t expected the man who had taken her virginity to be so despicable, constantly pursuing women.
Even after the apocalypse, he hadn’t changed this habit and had risen to power through the support of some unknown woman.
■’Could it be those two?!”
Xu Jia Lu hesitated. Among Zhao Yu’s previous four girlfriends, two came from the families similar to hers. While not as powerful as the Xu family now, they were still influential.
One was based in Peace Town Town, and the other belonged to a noble family
in a nearby city.
If he had their support, it could explain how Zhao Yu managed to defeat the
Han family army.
She immediately took out her phone and made a call.
Although their friendship wasn’t what it used to be after the apocalypse, they still maintained communication channels as representatives of their respective powers.
To her surprise, both of them were even more shocked than she was.
“Zhao Yu is still alive?!”
“That damned man, how did he not die in this apocalypse…
After probing, Xu Jia Lu sensed their reactions didn’t seem feigned.
This made her uncomfortable.
“Could it really be another woman?!”
Unable to figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it and called Luo Bing to deliver the letter to Zhao Family Town.
“Brother Lil, what do we do now?!”
In a ravine in the wilderness, several men dressed in city guard uniforms followed behind Lii Ming Yuan.
Lii Ming Yuan sighed deeply and said, “We killed Han Yong De, so Black Rock
City definitely won’t accept us anymore…”
“I suspect our names are also notorious in the black market…
“Now, we only have two choices…”
“Which two?!”
“The first is to leave the area of Black Rock City, escaping to a place two to
three hundred kilometers away to survive…”
“But if we choose this path, the Black Rock coins we brought will become worthless, and we’ll have to fend for ourselves from then on…”
The men exchanged glances, clearly reluctant to give up their current status. Although they were from the lower ranks of Black Rock City, they were still city guards with not insignificant benefits and a decent standard of living.
The idea of starting over in the wilderness, fighting and struggling for survival, was somewhat unappealing to them.
“What about the second option?!”
“The second option is to seek refuge with Zhao Yu…
“Ah?!”
The men were shocked. “Zhao Yu, the one who annihilated the Han family army?!”
“Exactly!”
“Zhao Yu’s ability to annihilate a thousand men from the Han family army shows he’s not weak. Clearly, he’s not an ordinary wilderness force; there must be someone behind him…”
■■No matter where he comes from or the intentions of the person behind him, the fact that he fought the Han family army means they’re now irreconcilable enemies…”
“Going to him, we might find a ray of hope for survival…
Someone nervously asked, “But what if he turns us in?!
Lu Ming Yuan spread his hands, “Who knows? Maybe he won’t, maybe he will!” “But my thought is, we could sneak in quietly, change our identities, perhaps as people of the wilderness…”
“Let’s hide these cars and money together, keep them concealed, and once we’ve settled in Zhao Family Town, we’ll retrieve them quietly and find a way to sell them off…”
The amount of money they had brought from the city was significant, enough for them to do many things.
After discussing, they decided to followLii Ming Yuan’s plan and sneak into Zhao Family Town to assess the situation.
Little did they know, as soon as they arrived at Zhao Family Town, they were captured and brought before Zhao Yu.
Looking at the six men kneeling before him, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
“I hear you killed Han Yong De?”
He had scouts in Black Rock City, so he naturally learned about Han Yong De’s death in the city and the news of six city guards fleeing.
The six men were terrified and quickly bowed their heads, begging for mercy.
One of them boasted about seeking to join Zhao Yu.
Lii Ming Yuan didn’t dare to be presumptuous, hurriedly explaining, “To be honest, we didn’t recognize Han Yong De when he came back, and we were a bit too harsh on him. He threatened to kill our families…”
“We had no choice but to kill him first and then escape early…
Seeing his relatively honest attitude, Zhao Yu casually asked, “What brings you here?”
