Apocalypse Cockroach Chapter 110

Zhang Xiao Qiang got out of the car, preparing to go see if the person he had tasked with his weapons was done. It truly was a feeling of despair when one lacked weapons. He had already made the decision to get Yuan Yi to teach him and Yang Ke'er some moves.

"Brother Cockroach! You're back? Brother Long and Brother Yi had been waiting a day for you!" Three came out and hastily spoke to Zhang Xiao Qiang. It seemed as though he had been waiting just to convey these words to him.

Zhang Xiao Qiang nodded to show that he got the message and walked to the living area. It turned out that Brother Long and Chen Yi were coincidentally there. The moment they saw him walk in, they stood up and their expressions were extremely welcoming and warm. Seeing them act like this, Zhang Xiao Qiang felt like something was up, 'There is no free lunch in this world!'

"Haha, Lil' Bro, you're finally back. These 2 days that you've been gone, this older brother of yours have truly suffered sleepless nights!" Brother Long put on an expression of concern.

"I said it, didn't I? Lil Bro's moves are definitely good, he wouldn't be in any danger, see, isn't he back safe and sound? Not a scratch on his skin, he truly is someone capable!"

Chen Yi also fawned over Zhang Xiao Qiang, their fake words of concern caused Zhang Xiao Qiang to be wary. Just 2 days ago, they had expressions on the edge of falling out, yet they were so hospitable now? There was definitely something wrong.

Brother Long and Chen Yi began to exchange words back and forth about Zhang Xiao Qiang's good points. He didn't bother replying and just stood there puffing on his cigarettes, watching their performance. He didn't become high on their praises, instead, his guard was up, they were all proud men. The fact that they were doing this proved that they had something on their minds. Zhang Xiao Qiang knew that he was already an outsider to them, having stood out as a sore thumb, and only a gullible fool would fall for their tricks.

Brother Long and Chen Yi continued their banter, all the way till lunch, as they invited Zhang Xiao Qiang warmly to the dining area. He went with the flow, intending to see what they were up to.

As the bunch of them sat down, he noticed that there were only him, Brother Long and Chen Yi sitting for the meal. There were lesser people, but the dishes were sumptuous, with chicken and meat. Some of the goods that Zhang Xiao Qiang had brought back were also served. A plate of peeled apples as well as some other appetizers laid out on the table. In this current world, the word sumptuous could not describe it properly, 'luxurious' would be the correct word.

Brother Long opened up a bottle of Moussas Dry and poured it personally for Zhang Xiao Qiang, while Chen Yi helped to place portions of food on his plate. Looking at how coordinated they were, he was getting slightly confused, he had known these 2 to be at loggerheads, now they were working together to curry favor with him, what in the world was going on?

As they ate and drank, Brother Long and Chen Yi were slowly turning red, and Brother Long grabbed onto Zhang Xiao Qiang's hand as he started to vent his frustrations on the cruelty of the world. He continued to paint a picture where it was tough leading the men to scavenge for stuff under the threat of the zombies and even started to tear. Chen Yi was also sighing every once in a while, interjecting with some random person who was only 16 and had to find medicine for his own father, in the end losing his life.

As the both of them continued, it seemed as though they were ready to break out into tears. Zhang Xiao Qiang was swept along in the emotions, as he thought back to the tough period where he had struggled for a long while over the scavenging of food. It was only with the thought of death that he had charged at finally, and that sour and desolate feeling resurfaced. It was truly a tough period.

Brother Long and Chen Yi were both so convincing in their sincere words, that Zhang Xiao Qiang almost patted his chest to assure them that he would provide for them until he remembered how the young man who had stolen an egg was treated. He thought back to the woman who was cannibalized on, and only wished for death, and even the mentally impaired child. His passion and his empathy instantly vanished.

"Brother Long, Brother Yi, everyone here knows each other well. Just speak your mind, and stop with the games. You guys are obviously tired, and I'm tired of this act as well." Zhang Xiao Qiang downed the contents of his wine glass in one mouth, placing the glass down as he spoke up.

Brother Long and Chen Yi were still immersed in their roles, and for a moment, they were stunned silly.

"Bang!"

Brother Long slapped down on the table, causing the utensils to jump a little. Even the wineglass toppled and spilled over on the yellowish tablecloth.

"Great!! Lil' Bro sure is forthcoming!" Brother Long exclaimed loudly, as he shot Chen Yi and eye.

Chen Yi stood up and immediately poured a glass for Zhang Xiao Qiang again, as he said: "It should be a small matter for you, Lil' Bro!"

He then raised his own glass to Zhang Xiao Qiang, before downing its contents in one go. "What are your thoughts on the granary we escaped from previously, Lil' Bro?"

The moment he said it, Zhang Xiao Qiang's mind whirred. Previously, Brother Long and Chen Yi had brought along 20 men with 7 to 8 vehicles in order to open the granary, in the end, they had lost 2 men, and abandoned a number of their vehicles there.

He had lost his confidence in Brother Long and the rest then, due to this, and he had originally intended to head there to sweep it clean. However, he had found his own treasure hoard where Yuan Yi was previously held, as well as the trip to the market, and thus, he had forgotten about it. If he recalled correctly, there were even survivors in the granary.

Zhang Xiao Qiang's thoughts flowed before he said: "Brother Long, Brother Yi, I won't say much. I just want to know what's in it for me, I won't stay here for long anyway, and I will not do work for free!"

He had put it out there, not intending to do free labor. They wanted him to get the granary? Sure, but they had better made sure that he was compensated, he was only concerned about his own life, he could not perform free work nor be taken advantage of.

Brother Long immediately exchanged a glance with Chen Yi when he heard those words, and the two of them were filled with smiles. Brother Long raised his hands and clapped twice, not long after, 5 or 6 young women entered the room, dressed provocatively and dolled up. They lined up neatly in front of Zhang Xiao Qiang.

Zhang Xiao Qiang watched dumbfounded from the moment Brother Long clapped till the women entered, and he did not have the chance to react when he was assaulted by the various fragrances of perfume. Seeing their poses and flirty gazes, there were some who were even bold enough to lick their lips.

The scene was extremely familiar to Zhang Xiao Qiang, it was as though those ladies from those shady nightspots in movies had appeared in front of him. It was as though, he had become a customer waiting to be serviced! Zhang Xiao Qiang glanced at Brother Long, his gaze suspicious, not knowing what tricks they were about to pull. Of these women, 3 were Chen Yi's women, and he had seen them before. The rest weren't that much different from Yuan Yi.

There was one who stood out from the rest, her looks above Yuan Yi's and she was the one licking her lips at Zhang Xiao Qiang. She didn't wear much, her revealing clothes barely covering the necessary spots, and they were even somewhat translucent. Her peaks could be seen clearly, and she wasn't wearing anything below. Her hands stroked her thigh from time to time, lifting the skirt barely, causing one's heart to palpitate.

Zhang Xiao Qiang didn't dare look too long, how could he handle this? He didn't even dare to those salons with special services, in the past, he had seen these sort of things before, but they were all on his computer! Right now, there were women in the flesh not 2 meters away from him, hoping to entice him. He feared that if he continued looking, he might make a fool out of himself.

He turned to look at Brother Long, who was assessing Zhang Xiao Qiang's expression together with Chen Yi. Seeing him turn, Brother Long chuckled: "How is it, Lil' Bro? Are they to your liking? Don't stand on ceremony, just pick whoever you like. As long as you bring the granary back, all of them are yours to bring away."

This time, both Brother Long and Chen Yi had gone all in, even bringing out the precious gems of Brother Long. It was all for the granary. Women? What are they? They're just goods that knew how to eat and couldn't do anything.

This time, Zhang Xiao Qiang firmly decided not to, he could not even handle Yuan Yi and Su Qian without having a headache, if he added on more women, it would just be looking for trouble. Furthermore, they may all be treasures in the eyes of Brother Long and Chen Yi, but to him, they were just added burdens. He needed partners who could run and act with him, not those stay at home concubines.

"Haha! Brother Long, your joke is too big this time, it's not that I don't want them, but this little brother simply can't accept so many. Even a spear would be ground to a needle!"

Zhang Xiao Qiang started to decline, as he joked about himself. He was not some refuge center, why should they just dump people on him?

Upon seeing Zhang Xiao Qiang's rejection, Brother Long's expression turned ugly, as he glared at the most beautiful and alluring woman, who immediately shook in fright.
