Chapter 192 [West Gate] (1)
Tan Tiande recalled the thrilling scene when he escaped. The crazy birds kept chasing him relentlessly until the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and they stopped chasing. Tan Tiande said: "They are not without weaknesses. They fly much slower than normal, and they are afraid of light."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "As long as the weather is sunny, we are not without a chance of winning."
Tan Tiande thought for a while and finally made up his mind to say, "Let's go to Yulinpo to camp and rest. After sunrise tomorrow, go straight to Laoyingpan and clear the monsters there."
Tan Zicong didn't know why his father made such a risky decision, so he hurriedly said: "Dad..."
Before he could finish his words, Tan Tiande yelled: "No need to discuss this matter!"
Ma Yongping finally went to meet Yan Tuojiang, and the final levy was best between men. He said straight to the point: "What are the conditions for the great commander?"
Yan Tuojiang said: "One, I let go of my niece Yan Tianxin and return all their things."
Ma Yongping said: "This matter is easy to talk about." Yan Tianxin had already escaped, and this condition was no longer a problem. As for Yan Tianxin and others' things, Ma Yongping first thought of the coffin. He sighed in his heart. If he had known that the things in the coffin were so evil, I would not detain anything. Compared with Yan Tuojiang's secret vault, the little things in Lianyunzhai were nothing at all.
Seeing that he agreed so happily, Ma Yongqing said, "There is another condition. Give me a car and fill it with gas. Ma Yongqing will accompany me in the car."
Ma Yongping was stunned for a moment: "What? Do you want to take Yongqing as a hostage?" He now understood why Yan Tuojiang wanted to see him alone. Some words were indeed inconvenient to say in front of Ma Yongqing. Jiang is the old man, and Yan Tuojiang is not a fool. He would not believe his promise. Letting Ma Yongqing accompany him into the car would be more guaranteed. He wanted to make himself afraid of the mouse by hijacking Ma Yongqing.
Ma Yongping shook his head.
Yan Tuojiang changed his color and said, "Don't you agree?"
Ma Yongping said in a deep voice: "I will not betray my relatives no matter what I say."
"You have already betrayed!" Yan Tuojiang shouted.
Ma Yongping glared at Yan Tuojiang, but he soon lost under the other party's aggressive gaze, with a ghost in his heart, and what Yan Tuojiang said was undoubtedly a fact.
Yan Tuojiang said: "You may not agree. If you do not agree, you will never want to know where the secret vault is hidden in your life."
Ma Yongping shouted: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Yan Tuojiang said in the same loud voice: "Then let's die together with your arms!"
Ma Yongping was stunned. Of course, he understood the true meaning of dying with him. If he could not find the secret vault in time, it would mean that he could not send military pay in time. The loyalty of these soldiers could not withstand any test. They could betray Yan Tuojiang and also betray themselves.
Ma Yongping swallowed and said with difficulty: "Can we change the conditions?"
Yan Tuojiang said: "Then you can accompany me out of the city for her."
Ma Yongping subconsciously clenched his fists. He could not agree. If he accompanied Yan Tuojiang out of the city, it would be like handing over his life to his hands. With Yan Tuojiang's hatred for him, his chances of survival were very slim.
Yan Tuojiang didn't have much patience: "Forget it if you don't agree, just kill me."
Ma Yongping took a deep breath and said, "You must also agree to me with a condition. After getting on the bus, you must tell me the location of the vault immediately. After you leave the city gate of Xinmanying, Yongqing will be released, and you must not hurt her."
"I promise you."
Ma Yongqing sat quietly in the car, her heart was already cold. Although Ma Yongping spoke sincerely, she understood that Ma Yongping was hypocritical from beginning to end. This was an extremely selfish person. As long as he successfully found the secret vault, how could he care about his life or death?
After Ma Yongping met some of Yan Tuojiang's conditions and handed over Ma Yongqing to him, Yan Tuojiang immediately told Ma Yongping the location of the secret vault. He got into the car and poured Ma Yongqing's whole body with a bucket of gasoline he wanted. If Ma Yongping regretted it, he would ignite the gasoline and die with Ma Yongqing.
Facing the gasoline poured on Yan Tuojiang on him, Ma Yongqing accepted it like a wooden man without any reaction.
The car was surrounded by Ma Yongping's subordinates. They would not let the car leave until Ma Yongping found the secret vault.
Yan Tuojiang sat in the driving seat, Ma Yongqing glanced at him and whispered: "Did you really tell the location of the vault?"
Yan Tuojiang smiled indifferently and said, "Money is something outside of my body, and it is definitely not the most important thing in this world for me."
At this time, Ma Yongping came over with several subordinates and came to Yan Tuojiang. Although he tried his best to control himself, he could still capture some joy from his eyes and smell the strong smell of gasoline. He knew what Yan Tuojiang was thinking. He sighed in his heart that Yan Tuojiang was cunning and asked him to provide two barrels of gasoline before. Ma Yongping thought that Yan Tuojiang wanted to drive across the desert, and these two barrels of gasoline were for emergencies. Now he knew that he was pouring gasoline on Ma Yongqing. His sinister intentions were to be seen. As long as he regretted it, he would burn Ma Yongqing to death without hesitation.
Ma Yongping said to Yan Tuojiang: "Don't forget what you promised me, I will let you leave Xinman Camp, and you will immediately return Yongqing's freedom after leaving the city."
Ma Yongqing had completely given up when he heard this. Ma Yongping should have found the secret vault as he wished. Under the current situation, even a fool would understand that Yan Tuojiang would not let him go easily, and Ma Yongping gave up on himself at all.
But Ma Yongping still had to pretend to say: "Yongqing, you don't have to be afraid, I promise you can come back safely."
Ma Yongqing felt that he was almost vomiting out disgustingly. Why didn’t he recognize Ma Yongping’s true face before? For a person who is so hypocritical and heartless, he framed a good person who is willing to give everything for him. Ma Yongqing wished he could slap him a few times in the face.
Yan Tuojiang didn't say much, started the engine of the car and slowly drove out of the Marshal's Mansion. There were still soldiers blocking the center of the road ahead. Yan Tuojiang didn't say much, raised his pistol and aimed at the soldier's head with a shot. The soldier who was blocking the road obviously did not expect that he would shoot so frankly, and was shot in the head by him and died immediately.
Ma Yongping arranged everything in the Marshal's Mansion as his confidant. Seeing Yan Tuojiang killing people, the group of subordinates took out the pistols.
Yan Tuojiang said calmly: "Ma Yongping, do you think I really dare not kill her?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Ma Yongping's mind. It would be better to eradicate Yan Tuojiang by just like this to end it. But he immediately thought of Ma Yongqing and immediately began to hesitate again.
Ma Yongqing suddenly screamed at Yan Tuojiang: "Old thief, you just kill me! You kill me! Brother, don't worry about me!"
Ma Yongping couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't help but think of Ma Yongqing's various benefits to him in the past. Without her efforts, how could he have his own today? Now he has already fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and what did she get?
All of Ma Yongping's confidants looked at him, and when he gave him a command, he would shoot Yan Tuojiang to the spot without hesitation. Ma Yongping did not issue an order in the end, and said solemnly and slowly: "Let them go, no one will do it without my order."
Several archers on the roof of the Marshal's Mansion also drooped the bowstrings in their hands. In fact, as long as Ma Yongping gave an order, he still had the opportunity to get rid of Yan Tuojiang without shooting. The key is whether Ma Yongping was willing to take risks.
When Yan Tuojiang saw everyone leaving the road, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the coach's mansion without hesitation.
After Yan Tuojiang drove away, Ma Yongping breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that he would never see Ma Yongqing again after leaving this time. Yan Tuojiang hated Ma Yongqing to the core and would never release her easily.
It was dusk and the sunset was setting. Ma Yongping quickly climbed the corner tower of the General Mansion and looked into the distance. Yan Tuojiang drove along the East and West Streets of Xinmanying. At this moment, the car had approached the West Gate. Ma Yongping was sad, but suddenly frowned, because he saw a riot on the most lively Nanyang Street in Xinmanying not far from his right.
Ma Yongping was about to call someone to ask what happened. A non-commissioned officer came to the corner tower panting and said in panic: "The general... something happened......"
Ma Yongping said: "Tell me!"
"The prisoners in the dungeon escaped from prison together... They rushed to Nanyang Street and bite everyone they saw..."
"What?" Ma Yongping was stunned, his heart was shrouded in great fear at the same time. What he feared most was still happening. The closer a person was to success, the greater the crisis. Ma Yongping suddenly forgot about Yan Tuojiang. He waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Gather the army in the city, and send my order immediately. As long as he encounters those prisoners, kill them, and shoot them on the spot if he is bitten by prisoners..."
Nanyang Street, which used to be bustling and bustling, has now become a sea of fear. People flee everywhere in panic. The narrow streets and alleys became crowded because of people's rushing to escape. Many people were knocked to the ground. Before they could get up, later generations stepped on them, and cried and shouted in the scene.
The information Ma Yongping obtained was not accurate. Not only fifteen prisoners escaped from the dungeon, but also soldiers in charge of guarding, nearly thirty infected people who had lost their minds. They came to the streets and bit everyone they had. The bitten people soon changed. New infected people continued to grow the zombie team, and Nanyang Street had instantly become a purgatory on earth.
