Chapter 139 deterrence
Li Qiang said, "If that’s the case, will it implicate brother?"
In any case, there’s no point in staying in this dark and devilish place. We might as well think of a way to get out of here, because the women of the Pang family have a way to save us before, but these women’s conditions are too harsh, so even if we have to accompany them for a lifetime, what difference do you think there is between staying here in the Devil’s Cave? So, almost no one is willing to accept the Pang family’s help.
Li Qiang said, "No problem, we are all smart people. We were originally playing games, but we ended up stuck in this damned place. Who would want to stay for the rest of their lives? Now that we have a chance to escape, I believe everyone who hears about this plan will have their own plans. "
Zhu Tao said, "However, the leader of area no 5, Zhang Gou, is a very gloomy and suspicious person. What you said may not be enough to move him, but my view is that we should work together in the name of area no 6 or 7 to pressure area no 5.
Li Qiang said, "Then, thank you, Big Brother."
Zhu Tao said, "There’s no need to be so polite. I’m only thinking about my own matters. If I can leave this damned place, no matter how much I have to pay, it would be worth it."
Soon, they arrived at the border no. 5. The people in the fifth region had received the news and were waiting for them there. Zhu Tao had also instructed his men to return the weapons to Li Qiang and the others.
The person in front shouted: "All of you stop and don’t go any further. This is area no 5, do not go any further unless you are from this area."
Zhu Tao shouted, "I am the leader of area no 6, Zhu Tao. Call your boss over here. I have something to tell him."
After a while, a short and fat middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone. He asked with a coarse voice, "Brother Zhang, we’ve always minded our own business. What do you intend by bringing so many people and soldiers to suppress our land?"
Zhu Tao pointed at Li Qiang and said, "This little brother is the new leader of Block 7. He has two friends locked up in Block 4, so he wants to use this place to save his friends. I hope Brother Zhang can help out."
Zhang Gou frowned and said, "If there are one or two people who want to pass through, I might be able to agree, but you seem to be a crowd of two thousand. If your intentions are bad, won’t my area no 5 suffer?"
Li Qiang said, "Don’t worry, Brother Zhang, I didn’t bring so many people to Area 4 because there are other plans, but because of the importance of those two brothers. As long as we can save those two brothers, the tens of millions of soldiers outside will be able to attack the prison together. At that time, we might be able to escape, which is a possibility that you will consider, right?"
Zhang Gou said in a silent manner, "I have tasted the taste of rebellion. In the past, I had led my brothers in attempting to climb up from the lower wind, but in the end, I was beaten up by the dark police and lost many of my brothers. From then on, I gave up on the thought of fleeing and peacefully passed away in this damned place.
Zhu Tao said, "Just because you haven’t succeeded doesn’t mean that we won’t be able to do it either. Look at the number six and seven. If you join us as well, we, as a group from the third region, can accomplish great things."
Zhang Gou shook his head and said, "I don’t want to mess with you. You know how vicious the prison guards are, so what if it succeeds? If it doesn’t, we’ll both be at a disadvantage. Do you think I’m someone who’s impulsive?"
Zhu Tao said, "Your words are wrong. When we first arrived here, which of us wasn’t full of energy and vigor?" Could it be that after all these years, the will and ambition from back then no longer exist? "
Zhang Gou smiled bitterly. "Do you know how long it has been since we last saw the sun?" Twenty years, a whole twenty years, what kind of normal people would go crazy. It’s not easy for me to get into this position, and now I can’t just destroy the lives of the people in this area because of an illusory plan. "
Li Qiang said, "It doesn’t matter if Brother Zhang doesn’t want to participate. As long as you let us go to area no 4, then you can just sit back and watch. You just have to be an audience."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Gou still shook his head and said, "I cannot take the risk. With so many of you passing through my block, what if you go back on your word? As the leader here, I must think for my subordinates. I suggest that you all take a detour. "
Zhu Tao was slightly angered as he shouted, "Nonsense! You clearly know that there’s only one way to get to area no 4, yet you’re still bullshitting with us here. You have to let us through today, or else we won’t be done for!"
Zhang Gou said: "You still want to get angry at me? Your District 6 still owes us a large amount of rations, but I have already given you face by not seeking revenge. Listen to me, quickly go back, and I will pretend as if nothing happened. If you continue to pester us like this, I will directly inform the prison officials.
Zhu Tao sighed and said, "You are simply unreasonable. I was really blind. I treated you like a friend for so many years."
Li Qiang said in a low voice, "Looks like this person won’t let us go no matter what. Why don’t we do it now?"
Zhu Tao said, "Don’t be in such a hurry. I still have a trump card, so I can guarantee that he’ll submit to me."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands and a seventeen or eighteen year old young man walked out from the crowd.
However, upon seeing this youth, Zhang Gou’s eyes lit up as he asked, "So he’s with you?"
Zhu Tao laughed, "I know Brother Zhang’s hobbies. I also know that you and this little brother of yours had a good relationship back then. If you are willing to let him pass, I will return him to you. Otherwise, you just need to wait for his corpse to be collected."
Zhang Gou hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I’ll promise you guys that. However, we have to say that if you send him back to me, you can’t lie to me."
Zhu Tao replied, "Of course. As long as you join the allied army, this little brother will definitely be yours." After speaking, he waved his hand again, causing the young man to be led away. Zhu Tao then said, "When everything is done, I’ll definitely give him to you. You can be at ease."
Zhang Gou sighed and said, "Fine, I will listen to you. Anyways, you have already stepped on my painful foot, so you can do whatever you want with it."
Zhu Tao laughed, "Zhang Xing is determined to join in the cause, this is truly a cause worthy of celebration. I am extremely impressed, how could I possibly punish you? We are all part of the allied army, we can share good fortune and share good fortune together, no problem at all."
Zhang Gou could only call for his men to release the defensive line and let everyone pass. He had also organized a large group of people to prepare to join the allied army.
Li Qiang was secretly amused as he thought to himself, "So this fatty Zhang Gou has a fetish for the dragon and the sun. No wonder it’s like he lost his soul when he sees that young man."
