30: Chapter 21 Bedroom Invasion (Middle Part 1)
Dressed in a full body black protective suit with a tactical vest layered over, several ammo clip pouches bulging and straining, an MP5 submachine gun hanging from a three-point rifle sling, a Ontario 18-inch machete at his left waist, a Nepalese Kukri knife attached to his right calf, and a holster hanging at his thigh carrying an M1911A1 handgun and two clips.
With his towering height and chiseled face, he was truly the embodiment of a formidable fighter.
“Sister Qin Yan, how did he do it?” Bai Guo asked softly.
The other flight attendants turned to look at her, clearly interested in the topic.
“Haha, Little Tang, I never realized, you’re actually quite tough.” The bald man complimented.
Just as he was about to take Li Xinlan’s ammo belt, he saw Tang Zheng staring at him expressionlessly making him pause.
“Don’t get me wrong, I mean no harm.
I just want the ammo belt.
She can’t make much use of it, it’s better if you give it to me.”
“We have three shotguns here, what did you mean by taking almost all the ammunition?” Tang Zheng toyed with the MP5 in his hand, not giving the bald man a chance to argue.
“Put half of the shotguns back.”
“You…” Now it was the turn of the bald man to feel wronged.
He looked towards Lin Weiguo, who avoided his gaze.
“Don’t let me say it a second time!” Tang Zheng didn’t raise his head, but his tone dropped a few degrees, leaving no room for doubt.
“Fine, you’re quite ruthless.” The bald man looked disgruntled.
He fished out around thirty shotgun shells and tossed them onto the tea table.
He then reached for a handgun.
“This should not be a problem, right?
There are plenty more left.”
Before Tang Zheng could reply, Kang Songde, who had just emerged from the bedroom, rushed over and grabbed a gun from the tea table.
“We haven’t had a turn yet.”
“Who asked you guys to stay back there?
I thought you didn’t want them.” The bald man smirked at him.
He brandished the handgun, unloaded the clip in a show of bravado and said, “Well maintained.”
“Tang Zheng, I have a suggestion.” Zhao Jingye walked up with the four flight attendants, glanced at the table, then fixed his gaze on Tang Zheng.
“We need to decide on the team leader.
We can’t keep being divided like this.
We have a much better chance of survival if we rally everyone together.”
“Nicely said.” The bald man clapped sarcastically.
“I was thinking the same.”
“Hmph, do you think others will choose you?” Xu Lu flared up at the sight of the bald man and retorted sharply.
“Well, he doesn’t have much claim to that title either.
The biggest contributors to the team are right here.” The bald man pointed at Tang Zheng, with a provocative expression.
He loudly asked, “Does anyone disagree?”
No one spoke out.
Minds were made.
“Ahem..
that’s what I meant.
He’s wearing protective clothing, so it’s safer for him to face the zombies, he should do more.
Now that we have guns, we can kill zombies too.
The one who kills the most will be the team leader.” Zhao Jingye made his authoritative stance known.
He believed he could do as well as Tang Zheng now that he also had a gun.
“What?
Zhao Jingye, you better make it clear.
Why should he take more risks just because he’s wearing protective clothing? freewebnoveℓ.com
Does he owe you anything?” Li Xinlan became angry at Zhao Jingye’s audacity, retorting sharply.
“Li Xinlan, why are you in such a hurry?
Why are you interfering in something that doesn’t concern you?” Zhao Jingye’s devoted stewardess Xu Lu immediately jumped at defending him, firing back at Li Xinlan.
“What is it?
You’re ready to sell yourself to him for giving you a gun and speaking up for you just once?”
“Stop arguing.” Zhao Jingye couldn’t assert his dominance over anyone but Xu Lu.
The bald man whistled sarcastically, emphasizing the tense atmosphere.
“Zhao Jingye, I have a question.
How are you going to kill the zombies?
Bare-handed?” Li Xinlan was not afraid of him.
“Of course with a gun.” Zhao Jingye was still composed.
“Where does the gun come from?” Li Xinlan continued pushing him.
“Isn’t it there?
I think we should distribute these weapons more effectively.” Zhao Jingye pointed at the weapons on the tea table.
“Like you holding a Remington shotgun, it’s a complete waste.”
“I agree with that.” The bald man started stirring up trouble again.
“Hehe, you’re hilarious.
You want to compete with someone and yet you expect them to provide you with weapons?
Why not simply let Little Tang kill your portion of zombies for you?” Li Xinlan refused to let Tang Zheng be cornered and staunchly defended him.
Bai Guo, Cheng Chen, Pang Meiqin, Hu Qiong felt that Zhao Jingye was being unreasonable, but due to professional constraints, felt hesitant to openly contradict them.
On the other hand, Xu Lu, Zeng Xue, Han Li and Zhou Zhou amongst the stewardesses stayed silent.
Being close to Zhao Jingye, they hoped he would gain more power to their benefit.
That reminded them of something Zhao Jingye had told them earlier.
“We can only rely on ourselves to survive.
Yes, the kid named Tang Zheng has made a lot of contributions, but who can assure that he won’t use us as cannon fodder when facing danger?
Don’t forget, those six stewardesses are closer to him than us.
Who would you choose if you were to sacrifice a team member?
Of course, it would be us, who are the least favored.”
Zhao Jingye’s words were undoubtedly tempting, moreover with Kang Songde pitching in, the stewardesses sided with him.
In their opinion, Tang Zheng was a decent guy.
He found food for everyone, spared no effort in taking care of everyone, and considered every possible situation.
If they ever returned to the real world, having a boyfriend with good looks and personality like him would be something to brag about in front of their friends.
But in this unfamiliar environment, coupled with their friendship with Xu Lu and Zeng Xue, they still chose to trust Zhao Jingye, their pilot and colleague for six years.
“I’m not bothering with you; Bald man, High School Student and Maintenance Worker, you guys give your opinions.
After all, the combat power of us men is the most important, and the one who should have the most say.” His words quickly won over several of the men, of course, Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo were exceptions.
“That’s nice to hear and I agree with your suggestion.
The one who kills the most zombies becomes the team leader.” Baldy Wu Xudong didn’t think he was any less than Tang Zheng, especially now that he had a gun.
“I feel the same, and stop calling me “High School Student”.
My name is Yang Bin.” Yang Bin was not happy with the situations where Tang Zheng was constantly surrounded by the stewardesses.
He didn’t think he was any worse, so why should he give up?
“Maintenance Worker, how about you?”
“I, I don’t know, I forfeit my say.” The maintenance worker felt uncomfortable as everyone’s attention focused on him.
He started stuttering due to nervousness and soon gave up his stance, sticking to his bashful demeanor.
