Chapter 10: Night of Killing
Power?
Li Meng's words made Meng Wuwei's expression change and he fell into deep thought.
What exactly was he doing this for?
For the future of the shelter?
But is that all?
Meng Wuwei had to admit that the young man in front of him was right. He wanted the shelter to have a better future, but he also wanted power, real power.
Looking at Li Meng, Meng Wuwei's expression was very complicated, and he said, "Aren't you afraid that I will stab you in the back? You should know that I want to do these things, only in my mind."
In response to Meng Wuwei's words, Li Meng said calmly: "It's the same with or without you. I will do some things, it's just a matter of spending more time."
I really don't know where his confidence comes from.
Looking at Li Meng's ordinary face, Meng Wuwei muttered in his heart.
Looking back at the soldiers in the hall, Meng Wuwei's expression was thoughtful, and he thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the number of these soldiers is not only these, but there are more?
During the day, in full view of the public, there were only ten people, but now there are dozens of them.
When did they enter the shelter?
After the riot during the day, he sent his men to monitor Cheng Shengwei's lair, and did not receive any news of outsiders entering the shelter.
Is there a secret passage connecting this house?
"Huh..."
Taking a deep breath, Meng Wuwei put aside his wild thoughts.
Let's talk about the future later, let's solve the current problems first.
Taking out a yellowed paper from his arms, Meng Wuwei spread it on the table.
"This is a map of the shelter, the middle is the trading area, and the surroundings are residences..."
This is a map, a map of the shelter. The style of the map is very simple, hand-painted, square, and allows people to roughly see what places are in the shelter.
Pointing to a point on the paper, Meng Wuwei said, "This is where we are now, located in the lower left corner of the shelter. Zhu Wei's residence is here. In the upper right corner of the map, there was a supermarket before. Zhu Wei has two search teams under him, both of which have been sent out. Those who go out can be ignored. They are not combatants. What must be paid attention to is the hunting team under Zhu Wei. The people in the hunting team have fought with strange beasts and are good at killing. Although they occasionally go out hunting in teams, tonight, the members of Zhu Wei's hunting team are all in the shelter. Their number is about 100."
Moving his finger downward, Meng Wuwei pointed to the lower right corner of the map and said, "This is where I live. At midnight tonight, Zhu Wei will definitely bring people through the trading area and attack here. We can block them in the trading area. The square has abundant space and is a good place for a melee. I have 77 people under my command, and they will all be involved in the battle. Once we cooperate, we will have more people and more combat power. On the map, our side has the advantage, and Zhu Wei will not have any chance of winning. "
Looking at the map pointed by Meng Wuwei, Li Meng was silent. Li Meng knew that once he nodded, tonight would be a bloody night, and many people would die, many, many people...
There was nothing to hesitate, Li Meng nodded and said: "That's it, just do as you say, I will cooperate with you."
Hearing this, Meng Wuwei stood up and said: "Zhu Wei's attack time is midnight, the shelter is so big, once there is any movement in the trading area, our people can join the battlefield in time. Your Excellency, please remember that my men are all wearing gray coats, while Zhu Wei's men are wearing dark coats. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. For tonight's battle, I must make arrangements in advance. "
The expression on his face was calm, and Li Meng said: "Please go ahead."
Nodding to Li Meng, Meng Wuwei turned and left, walking along the corridor to the back door.
Looking at Meng Wuwei's back, Li Meng retracted his sight until Meng Wuwei's figure disappeared in the corridor.
Someone is going to die...
Standing up and coming to the window, Li Meng opened the black curtains and looked outside.
The trading area outside was very dark, with no firelight, and it was pitch dark. Nothing could be seen...
Whether Meng Wuwei was really cooperating or not, Li Meng only believed half of it. Whether he was sincere in cooperating would be known at midnight.
In the following time, Li Meng did not go anywhere, did not go to the second floor, let alone the third floor.
You Lan seemed to know that something would happen tonight, and stayed upstairs with her daughter.
Taking the helmet handed over by the imperial spearman, Li Meng put it on his head, and took the spear handed over by the imperial spearman.
Scanning a glance at the densely packed steel bodies in the hall, Li Meng said calmly: "Leave ten people behind, and the others follow me."
With that, Li Meng turned and strode out of the hall and walked out of the open door.
Behind him, a group of imperial spearmen followed closely, and the sound of "clanging" footsteps suddenly rang.
Entering the dark world, surrounded by a group of imperial spearmen, Li Meng walked along the main road of the trading area.
For a moment, in the main road of the trading area, in the darkness, there were only the sound of "clanging" footsteps and swaying figures.
In the middle of the trading area, there is a square with a high platform about one meter high. People in the shelter like to call it the "auction platform". Some women who have lost their husbands and have no one to rely on will go up to the auction platform to auction themselves in order to have someone to rely on and to survive.
It was still a little time before midnight. With the cover of darkness, Li Meng led fifty imperial spearmen to the square under the auction table silently.
It was called a square, but it was actually only a little bit big, and the longest diameter would not exceed fifty meters.
But here, there was enough space for fighting, and it was a good place for fighting.
In the darkness, in the square, fifty imperial spearmen stood in neat rows, ten people in a row, and stood in five rows.
Although there were not many people, they looked like a forest of spears, which was quite powerful.
Standing in front of the formation of the imperial spearmen, Li Meng looked into the depths of the darkness...
The next step was to wait.
Time passed bit by bit, and midnight came quietly.
In the quiet shelter, in front of a brightly lit house, there was a commotion and figures were surging...
Walking out of the open door, looking at the dark crowd outside, Zhu Wei raised the iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Go and harvest what we deserve, light up the trading area, and set off..."
With Zhu Wei's roar, the dark crowd surged and surrounded Zhu Wei into the dark trading area.
Wherever he passed, the extinguished pots of fire in the trading area were ignited...
The appearance of the fire and the dense footsteps outside broke the silence of the shelter, and also let some people know that tonight is a sleepless night and a night of killing.
