The Debut of Powder and Ink

Gu Chengyi didn't even look at the man with a beard, just smirked and said through gritted teeth, "He Jin, wherever there's a commotion, that's where you show up, huh?" Not afraid of not being able to join in the fun, but instead causing trouble for oneself? "

It looks like the person who came is the leader of the rival mercenary group, the Wild Wolf Squad, He Jin.

He Jin laughed and walked over to the two with his followers.

He is just in his early forties, the most vigorous time in a man's life. Unlike the leaders of several other teams or guerrilla groups that Huan Chu had seen before, he did not look fierce at all, but rather resembled Lu Hao in appearance.

Whether it was due to long-term neglect or intentional, his unkempt beard stood up like steel needles, and his sharp tiger eyes were not focused on the confrontation between the two sides, but instead were admiring the armored vehicle driven by Zheng Zhi.

Nice car! Great style! I said to cut off the head, where did you get this big guy from? "

Gu Chengyi snorted and reluctantly accepted the nickname 'Head-chopping Gu': 'This car is not mine, it belongs to the guy in front of you.' "

He Jin was not actually intentionally trying to join in the fun, it was purely a coincidence. Therefore, he did not hear the conversation between the two, and thought that this head-chopping Gu was just trying to extort money from a newcomer.

Adhering to the principle of making the opponent uncomfortable is to make oneself comfortable, that's why he came out and interfered.

Upon hearing Gu Chengyi's words, I couldn't help but carefully examine the unremarkable young man in front of me. At this moment, I noticed a few people behind him, with him at the lead, all of them looking like martial arts experts.

With this discovery, He Jin immediately realized that he had just miscalculated - it turned out that this head-chopping man was not here to extort newcomers, but to confront someone.

"Haha!" He Jin walked up to Huan Chu, about to pat his shoulder, but was stopped by a glare from Pang Le, instantly feeling as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast.

How should I put it? It's like a mad dog staring at me fiercely, as if its hand is about to touch the man's shoulder in front of it, it will open its bloodthirsty mouth and bite down mercilessly.

Ke Hejin can ultimately be considered a hero. Under Pang Le's substantial gaze, he raised his outstretched right hand into the air and lazily stretched before saying, "Good kid, you're new here, aren't you? "

Well, not bad. On the first day here, you dared to show off your power by threatening to behead someone. From today on, your reputation in this place has been established! Huo Jin didn't wait for Huan Chu to respond at all, and just continued talking to himself.

Actually, these words were not meant for Huan Chu at all, but were deliberately picking faults with Gu Chengyi. As long as Gu Chengyi is happy, he is happy too.

And in the midst of the conversation, a few casually flattering sentences managed to escalate the conflict between Huan Chu and Gu Chengyi. If the two sides were originally just in a minor conflict, but with his few words, it immediately escalated into an all-out situation.

Ke Hejin finally arrived, not knowing that Huan Chu had killed Gu Chengshi. It was all in vain, as it turned out to be a futile effort.

There are indeed few who can stand out and achieve something in the end of the world.

Huan Chu sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the deep-seated grudge between He Jin and Gu Chengyi leading to a fight as soon as they met, he might have actually been deceived by the other party's honest and straightforward appearance.

Although unwilling to be manipulated, Huan Chu was not arrogant enough to offend both major forces in the city as soon as he arrived at the base. But he really couldn't bring himself to play dumb and agree with He Jin no matter what.

Since he didn't want to agree or deny, Huan Chu simply looked up at the sky with both eyes and remained silent.

He Jin saw Huan Chu not speaking again, feeling a bit annoyed in his heart, but he didn't want to lose his temper. He turned his head and said to Gu Chengyi, "I said to cut off Gu's head, what kind of conflict has happened between you two?" Tell me about it, let Lao He help you both sort things out. "

It seems that He Jin has subtly regarded himself as a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou who mediates conflicts among the vassal lords, clearly considering himself as the local overlord.

Gu Chengyi coldly smiled, "He killed Cheng Shi, surnamed He, and you are here to persuade me?" "

He Jin was shocked and moved by the words.

Although in his eyes, killing Gu Chengshi, that waste, was as simple as killing a dog, he never thought of killing that sneaky little mustache even when the two sides were at their fiercest confrontation.

Why?

It's simple, just four words - not worth it. Killing Gu Chengshi will not strike a blow to the bounty hunters, but will deepen Gu Chengyi's hatred towards oneself. Keeping him around will only make the mercenary group more chaotic, given his unruly and arrogant personality.

But only he dares to think so. Throughout the county of W, when ordinary people see Gu Chengshi's iconic little mustache, who wouldn't bow their heads and call him 'Second Master Gu'? 

He Jin never expected that the young man in front of him, with a proud look on his face, would have such courage.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, He Jin immediately decided to recruit Huan Chu and his group. Of course I'm not trying to recruit Huan Chu, I'm just interested in that armored vehicle like a steel monster: "Hey buddy, are you interested in joining me?" Once you're under my protection, not only will you enjoy the best food and drinks, but I guarantee that certain rats won't dare to mess with you. "

Gu Chengyi still snorted coldly and said nothing. He was not worried at all about He Jin's ability to recruit successfully. Although there were not many people in the group led by Huan Chu, everyone was well-equipped, especially the leader, who did not look like someone willing to be subordinate to others.

He decided to keep his mouth shut and wait to see He Jin's defeat.

Although both of them were exceptionally shrewd, Huanchu was just a clever little fox. As soon as he saw the armored vehicle, Huan Chu knew exactly what the leader of the Wolf Pack was up to.

Ensure your own safety? I'm afraid that as soon as he got the armored vehicle, he immediately quoted a price and sold it to Gu Chengshi.

Therefore, Huan Chu smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint Mr. He's kindness." I have never been good at fighting, and I have a family to take care of. I have added a few mouths to feed for Boss He for no reason. I feel guilty in my heart! "

He Jin naturally understood that this was just an excuse from Huan Chu. He was even more dissatisfied with this ignorant young man and turned to look behind him, where a person quickly walked up.

Judging from his appearance, with a shiny bald head, a short stature, and a round belly, it was clearly Deputy Mayor Yu Hao from City X that everyone encountered in Shangcheng County.

He was surprised to see Huan Chu, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He directly said, "Brother, you have offended the leader of the Bounty Gang. If you don't follow our captain, do you still want to stay in W County?" "

Huan Chu looked at the familiar face in front of him, with a smile on his face, but he did not respond to Yu Hao's topic. Instead, he asked directly, "Mayor Yu, how come you've started working as a horse for others now?" "

Yu Hao was taken aback, but Han Chu's words truly touched on Yu Hao's sore spot. Back in the day, he was a prominent figure, influencing the land and the people under his feet. Now, he seems to have become a mere advisor following He Jin. To say he is not resentful, that must be false.

What else can you do if you are not willing to accept it?

When it comes to the struggles in the political arena, young men like Huan Chu naturally do not pay attention to them. As for those who are brave, ruthless, and somewhat cunning like He Jin, they were only considered insignificant figures in his eyes, like ants that could be crushed with a single step.

But when he arrived at the gathering place, he found that there were indeed many bureaucrats and celebrities everywhere. Don't just talk about him as a mere deputy mayor, there are several deputy provincial governors here, and every one of them is in dire straits.

Speaking of which, he wants to join He Jin as a lackey, all for the sake of his only son's future. In order to provide a better living environment for his son in the post-apocalyptic world, he has sacrificed his wife numerous times, starting from the lowest position as a gatekeeper to eventually becoming the deputy leader. With his extraordinary courage and planning, he has achieved his current status.

But people tend to be like this, each to their own. Having done it is one thing, but once you say it, it becomes your fault. In peacetime, people call this the "unwritten rules".

Now Huan Chu has openly exposed it, naturally hurting Yu Hao's already dwindling reputation.

Environment is truly the biggest factor in changing a person. While shopping at the mall, Yu Hao still maintained his ability to remain calm and composed regardless of his emotions.

Having been with the straightforward guys in the Wolf Pack for a long time, his temper has also become more volatile. Seeing Huan Chu directly exposing the scar in his heart, although his face remained unchanged, his tone was a bit aggressive: "I'm telling you, Huan, don't offer a toast and then drink a forfeit!" What's wrong with me being a scapegoat? Can you really thrive on your own in this world? Just listen to my advice and kneel before our leader, then you can save your life! "

Huan Chu, however, remained unmoved, laughing heartily as he scanned the crowd in front of him. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Today, I want to see who dares to take my life, Huan Chu's life!" "

Huan Chu was originally just an ordinary homebody, but after experiencing so much in the apocalypse and leading this team through countless obstacles, he has become much more than that. At this moment, when he spoke, there was a chilling momentum in his voice, as if it were a bell tolling, striking each person's heart on the spot.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the team who was holding a gun stood up, pointing their guns firmly at the two groups surrounding the Huan Chu party in the middle.

He Jin only realized at this moment that although the newcomers were few in number, they all looked elite, with powerful and skilled marksmanship. In terms of firepower, they were indeed much stronger than his own group.

Although he is a bit cunning, he is ultimately a straightforward man who values loyalty and righteousness. Seeing that it is unlikely to subdue Huan Chu, he is not disappointed. He laughs heartily, raises his Five-Four and aims at Huan Chu's forehead, shouting loudly, "I will kill you here today, what can you do about it?" "

Huan Chu still had a cold expression on his face, only casting a sidelong glance at He Jin: "Those you brought with you shouldn't even think about going back." "

He Jin was suddenly furious and about to fire his gun, but then he heard a slightly soft but firm voice in his ear.

"Stop all of you!" "
