C17 Subdue

Tieh Jinhua originally wanted to use Xiang Jing's ignorance to catch him off guard, but her ability seemed to have no effect at all.

However, she wasn't going to give up. She was stunned for a moment and then kicked towards Xiang Jing's stomach.

Xiang Jing thought to himself, "This woman is so ruthless."

Xiang Jing grabbed her wrist and pulled hard, causing his entire body to roll over from her back, then he caught her with his backhand.

Tieh Jinhua could only bend her waist. Her elbow was locked by Xiang Jing from the back. Every movement of hers hurt.

She didn't even see Xiang Jing's movements clearly before she was instantly subdued.

Zhang Biaohu and the rest shouted loudly when they saw their boss easily subdue Tieh Jinhua.

Tieh Jinhua's gaze fell on Zhao Ziwu. Seeing his serious expression, her heart sank.

"I won." Xiang Jing let go of Tieh Jinhua's wrist.

Tieh Jinhua staggered up, rubbed her wrist, clenched her teeth and said, "You only won against me, Zhao Ziwu, you might not win."

Xiang Jing waved his hand at Zhao Ziwu and said, "Come on, let's end this quickly."

Zhao Ziwu took off his T-shirt, revealing his strong body. Every muscle of his was full of explosive power as he stared solemnly at Xiang Jing.

"Hah!"

Zhao Ziwu shouted and suddenly launched an attack like a cheetah at Xiang Jing.

In a split-second, he arrived behind Xiang Jing and used Black Tiger Steals Heart to dig Xiang Jing's back.

Just when his attack was about to hit Xiang Jing, Xiang Jing suddenly took a step forward and a strong hand firmly grabbed his wrist.

"You! "How is this possible!?" Zhao Ziwu looked at Xiang Jing, who was grabbing his wrist, in disbelief.

He knew that Xiang Jing was very strong, but his advantage was speed. As long as he was fast enough, he would be helpless against Xiang Jing. He never expected Xiang Jing to catch him in one move.

Xiang Jing let go of his wrist and said, "You are indeed very fast, I can't see you at all, but the faster you are, the louder the sound of the wind. I can't see you, but I can't hear you."

Zhao Ziwu opened his mouth, but in the end, he helplessly lowered his hand and said, "If you win, you have to admit defeat. From now on, Tieh Jinhua and I will submit to you."

"Oh!" The boss is mighty! "

Zhang Biaohu shouted excitedly. Today, they had been humiliated by Zhao Ziwu, and now, not only did they have their revenge, but they also had two forces under their command.

The group of subordinates behind Zhang Biaohu also cheered.

Tieh Jinhua relied entirely on her ability and didn't have any fighting skills, but Zhao Ziwu was different. He had obviously trained for a few years and although his ability was a little troublesome, it wasn't a big problem.

"If so," Xiang Jing looked at Tieh Jinhua and Zhao Ziwu and said, "Gather all your men here. I have something to say."

Zhao Ziwu and Tieh Jinhua were convinced after seeing Xiang Jing's strength. They didn't ask any further and just asked their men to gather the rest.

Due to the cooperation, Zhao Ziwu and Tieh Jinhua's people were basically all in the vicinity. After a short while, they were all gathered, almost 300 people.

Including the more than 100 people Xiang Jing brought, a total of more than 400 people gathered in front of the bar.

Zhao Ziwu and Tieh Jinhua immediately announced that from now on, Xiang Jing was the boss of all of them.

Although the group of lackeys were discussing it, no one objected. In their opinion, as long as one could eat enough, it didn't matter who was the boss.

Xiang Jing looked at the crowd and shook his head. After all, these hooligans were just hooligans.

"Bang!"

Xiang Jing stood on the box brought by Zhang Biaohu, raised his gun and pulled the trigger. The unique sound of a pistol resounded above the bar. In a split-second, everyone quieted down as they all turned to look at Xiang Jing.

Xiang Jing said in a clear voice, "First point, I'm Xiang Jing, no matter who your boss was before, from today onwards, your boss is only me."

"Second point. From tomorrow onwards, everyone must leave the central plaza to search for food in Rao City, including me and all of you."

Xiang Jing looked at Zhao Ziwu, Tieh Jinhua, and Zhang Biaohu.

Most of the four hundred people here were just eating and waiting for their deaths. They relied on their reputation as a gang to rob the food of the ordinary people in the central plaza. He did not need this kind of trash.

The moment Xiang Jing's words came out, Zhao Ziwu and Tieh Jinhua frowned slightly. The 400 people below were in an uproar, some of them even wanted to attack.

Zhou Xiaobin stepped forward, expressionlessly looking at them with his black wounds.

Xiang Jing's gaze also turned cold, "If you guys are not convinced, or if you have any objections, you can leave right now. But let me remind you in advance that this is the apocalypse, you can only sit in the mountains and wait for death. Follow me and you can live."

"Fuck you, what the heck is this JB stuff."

Some people immediately turned around and left. In their eyes, Xiang Jing was equivalent to sending them to their deaths. There were so many fat sheep in the plaza, yet they were all courting death? His brain must be playing tricks on him.

Five minutes later, out of the original four hundred people, only less than fifty remained. Most of them were brought by Xiang Jing.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziwu and Tieh Jinhua looked at Xiang Jing in confusion. Originally, even the Military could not ignore the power of 400 people. But now, because of Xiang Jing's words, only less than 1/8th of the soldiers remained.

Xiang Jing looked at the other 45 people, most of whom were in their twenties and thirties. Their eyes were filled with an unyielding will to live on.

Xiang Jing got them to gather together and said, "Since you guys are staying, it means that you guys want to live."

What Xiang Jing meant by "live on" was naturally not those trash who exploited others to keep on living, but those people who relied on their own efforts to survive in this apocalyptic world.

"Starting from tomorrow, each team of 6 will be no more than 100 meters apart, hunting down monsters outside while searching for supplies."

Xiang Jing looked at Zhao Ziwu and the others and said, "The three of you will join them."

Zhao Ziwu asked in confusion, "We had more than 400 people before, so we were faster and safer than we are now. Why?"

Xiang Jing looked at him coldly and said, "What I need is elites, not useless people who have just put up an act. If your thoughts are still as childish as in the peaceful times, then you won't be far off from death."

Zhao Ziwu's body shook. Xiang Jing's cold gaze made a layer of frost form in his heart.

"The man in front of me is definitely not what he looks like. Even in peaceful times, he is definitely a very dangerous existence."

This was Zhao Ziwu's conclusion about Xiang Jing, which dispelled some of his thoughts.

Xiang Jing looked into the endless dark night, "You can easily figure out the military's intentions for this operation, but Rao City is only so big. People die and supplies are consumed every day, but the military can't stay here forever."

Zhao Ziwu, Tieh Jinhua and Zhang Biaohu suddenly understood what had happened. They were not worried about their boss's food and drinks when they became the bosses, they were already content with the current situation and had neglected the future.

The other 45 people were smart, they understood what Xiang Jing meant after thinking for a while.

"Count these 45 names well" Xiang Jing entrusted them with the task, "If anyone wants to join us, they can agree to it, but for the other statistics."

"Understood, boss." Zhang Biaohu patted his chest and guaranteed.

Zhang Biaohu was completely convinced of Xiang Jing now. With his strength, courage and long-term vision, Xiang Jing had completely conquered him. If he followed this kind of boss, he wouldn't have to worry about the day when he would succeed.

Zhang Biaohu and the others were left to talk about the rest of the story. Xiang Jing and Zhou Xiaobin returned to the apartment building.

After giving Zhou Xiaobin a set of protective gear and backpack, Wu Tie said, "Tomorrow, you will leave with me. If you are not stronger, you will die."

Zhou Xiaobin nodded solemnly. Ever since he followed Xiang Jing, everything that happened to him made his mental state grow stronger. He believed in Xiang Jing, but at the same time, he also wanted to live on.

The next day, dozens of people gathered at the exit of the living quarters. They stood orderly with Zhang Biaohu, Zhao Ziwu, and Tieh Jinhua in front of them.

Xiang Jing looked to be more than 40 people as he said, "Everyone remember what I said just now, run if you see a monster you haven't seen before. The distance between the teams can't be more than 100 meters."

"Let's go!"

With Xiang Jing's order, the group of people armed with all kinds of weapons walked into the dangerous world of monsters.

Xiang Jing led Zhou Xiaobin to the north side of Rao City. According to his estimation, if the army was to retreat, it would head north to the provincial capital. Before that, he would try to understand the situation around here as much as possible.

Along the way, Xiang Jing gained a lot of EXP, but Zhou Xiaobin directly leveled up. His Earth Thrust was longer and harder than before, and at the same time, his other attributes had also improved.

Under the guidance of Xiang Jing, Zhou Xiaobin became more and more familiar with pistol and combat skills.

Despite his short stature, based on Zhou Xiaobin's current skills, fighting four or five ordinary people was not a big problem for him.

The sky slowly became overcast. It was so stuffy that people started to panic. Following the sound of muffled thunder, a light drizzle began to fall.

The rain washed over the city as if it wanted to wash away the sins of this place. The entire city of Rao was covered in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see or hear what was happening around them.

Xiang Jing and Zhou Xiaobin climbed to the roof of the street house through the burglar proof window. They were already far away from the gathering place, and if they weren't worried about the little girl, they might have continued their search.

Remembering the surrounding environment, Xiang Jing said, "Let's go. We will end here for today. Let's go back."

After a while, he returned to the stronghold in the residential area.

Zhang Biaohu and the others had a total of 48 people, and only 35 came back. 8 people died in one afternoon and 5 people were forbidden entry to the gathering area due to injuries.

Xiang Jing looked at the ashen-faced crowd. He took out a map and drew a red line on it.

"This is the place we went this afternoon. This road is still considered safe, I suspect that if we were to retreat, it is highly likely that we would be able to make a trip."

Xiang Jing then took out some supplies and put them down, "Even if the army doesn't go there anymore, we can still leave it as our own path."

"In this apocalyptic world, you have to either gamble everything to survive or throw everything away and die."

Xiang Jing looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
