Chapter 310: Chapter 259: Do You Have Anything Else to Tell Me?

Huang Zhiqiang: "Can I get another massage before the apocalypse starts?"

Yu Dong glanced at Huang Zhiqiang and frowned.

He then turned to Yin Shuangyang. "Have them open the curtains! My brothers aren’t prisoners. What’s the meaning of keeping them in a dark room like this? Are you trying to mentally torture them?"

"Fine. Open the curtains. It’s a perfect chance to show you something, anyway..."

The three men behind Yin Shuangyang pulled back the heavy curtains. Sunlight spilled into the room, forcing everyone to squint.

"Don’t worry, Brother Yu. I told you I wouldn’t harm them. This is just my last resort for self-preservation. These three are my best fighters, and... show him."

The three men drew handguns from their waists. They quickly ejected the magazines, holding them out for Yu Dong to see the brass bullets inside. Yin Shuangyang also produced an identical handgun from inside his jacket.

"These are four Glocks, fully loaded. Not only are these three men fighters, they’re also skilled marksmen. If I give them the order, or if my heart stops beating, or if they feel threatened... they will gun down you and your three roommates in an instant, without a moment’s hesitation."

As he spoke, Yin Shuangyang lifted his shirt, revealing a sophisticated sensor taped to his chest, right over his heart.

"Two seconds after my heart stops, this sensor will transmit a signal to alarms they’re carrying. And then... PEW PEW PEW~"

Yin Shuangyang mimed shooting with one hand. Yu Dong’s expression flickered.

"Quite the thorough preparations, President Yin... I thought you just had a stomachache last night."

"I really did have a stomachache, but one must take precautions, Brother Yu. What if you’d fed me false information and led me into a trap? I needed to have some countermeasures. Of course, I feel our cooperation is going very well. I don’t think you’d do that, but for safety’s sake, allow me to play the villain just this once. Oh, and by the way, Zou Long’s phone also receives the signal from this sensor. I guarantee you, you do *not* want to mess with him."

"Then what if your three men turn into zombies when the time comes? My brothers are tied to chairs. Wouldn’t they be as good as dead?"

"No problem. When it’s almost time for the outbreak, you and I will come here and wait together. Whichever one of my three men turns into a zombie, I’ll execute him. And when the time comes... if everything outside is as you’ve described, the five of us will head out together to greet the new world."

Yin Shuangyang planned to have his men and Yu Dong’s men wait for the apocalypse together. If anything went wrong, he would eliminate everyone on the spot.

They had four men and four guns. On the other side, Yu Dong was the only one who could move freely, and he was completely unarmed.

Yin Shuangyang could have handcuffed Yu Dong as well... but he felt that would be undignified, not to mention unnecessary.

An unarmed Yu Dong posed no threat.

Within seven paces, his draw was fast and his aim was true.

At that moment, the expressions on Xufeng, Zhao Youcai, and Huang Zhiqiang’s faces were grim.

Huang Zhiqiang even shouted, "Dongzi, don’t do anything stupid! I think President Yin seems like a decent guy. All of us making it out alive is what’s most important."

Yin Shuangyang pointed at Huang Zhiqiang and clicked his tongue.

"Heh heh... I take back my earlier assessment. This big friend of yours... he’s wiser than he looks. If you all follow me from now on... you can have whatever you want. Power? Women? All the food, drink, and entertainment you can handle? You’ve had a taste of it these last few days... As long as you don’t try any funny business, you can just coast to victory with Yu Dong."

Huang Zhiqiang nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, yes!"

’That Great Evil Massage Master was incredible!’

After so many years, Huang Zhiqiang had finally shed his Chunan status, and with professional-grade service, no less. It was a real eye-opener.

"Hahaha! If you like that, there’s plenty more where it came from in the new world! What’s the point of living if not to stand above others? I can give you that status directly... I promise, if there are no surprises, this is the last afternoon you’ll have to be inconvenienced."

Hearing this, Zhao Youcai, who had been feeling resentful toward Yin Shuangyang, suddenly had a change of heart.

’That’s right!’

’Isn’t what I’ve always wanted... to stand above everyone else?’

’And now, I’m on the verge of success!’

’If... Dongzi just cooperates with Yin Shuangyang, won’t we get a massive head start when this all begins?’

’We wouldn’t even have to struggle.’

’With four guns aimed at them, if Yu Dong is dead set on going against Yin Shuangyang, aren’t they all as good as dead?’

’Even Yu Dong himself can’t beat Yin Shuangyang when he’s holding a gun.’

’Whether for my own sake or for Dongzi’s...’

Zhao Youcai said tentatively, "Dongzi, I think what President Yin is saying makes a lot of sense."

Xufeng took a deep breath, glanced from Yin Shuangyang to Yu Dong, and finally shook his head.

’He didn’t know how to break this stalemate.’

’It didn’t matter what happened to him; his life was on a countdown anyway. But Zhao Youcai and Huang could survive. They had fought alongside Dongzi for two lifetimes.’

’Dongzi was fiercely loyal; he would never stand by and watch the two of them die.’

’But to save their lives, Dongzi would have to abandon his original plan...’

’In other words, after all of Dongzi’s planning, he was still being forced onto Yin Shuangyang’s ship in the end.’

’If he wasn’t mistaken, this afternoon was Yu Dong’s last chance. If he couldn’t use his information advantage to eliminate Yin Shuangyang now, then after the apocalypse began... once Yin Shuangyang gathered his band of thugs, Yu Dong would never get another opportunity. He’d be forced to cooperate with him until the day he died.’

It seemed an unsolvable endgame had been laid out before Yu Dong.

Yu Dong could only choose to ’lose’ or ’draw’; there was no ’win’.

And for Zhao Youcai and Huang Zhiqiang... perhaps having Yu Dong cooperate with Yin Shuangyang wasn’t such an unacceptable outcome. In fact, it meant they would immediately reap huge benefits.

These benefits were very tempting.

’Even after doing all this... can I still not help Dongzi change the outcome?’

Yin Shuangyang smiled at Yu Dong and finally asked:

"Brother Yu, I’ve laid all my cards on the table. If we get through this without incident, it won’t affect you at all. But if there’s something I don’t know about... well, our cooperation might just collapse. I don’t want that."

"In the warehouse outside, I’ve had people prepare barbecue grills, meat skewers, and ten grill masters from Jinzhou."

"I’d like it if... after everything has settled down tonight, you, me, Zou, and these three brothers—the six of us—can sit down together, eat some barbecue, and talk about the future."

"So, Brother Yu, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
