Chapter 270: Chapter 271: The Night Monster Feared by the Dragon Tiger Brothers

To be honest, from Zhao Lin’s perspective, what the other party said wasn’t entirely without reason. If it were anyone else, they might have agreed.

After all, for a woman with a child trying to survive in this end-of-the-world scenario, it truly is difficult.

But unfortunately, those are considerations for ordinary people. Zhao Lin is different, with the Corpse King protecting her. Not only can she survive without relying on collective strength, but she can even live quite well.

Besides, given the personality of the Corpse King, how could it possibly join this so-called Dragon Tiger Gang?

Of course, Zhang Qing didn’t know any of this, which is why he was so puzzled by Zhao Lin’s outright refusal.

Is this woman really so confident that she can rely on herself to survive?

"Gentlemen, please leave! I don’t want to say this for the third time!"

Zhao Lin, with a calm expression, once again issued the eviction order.

"You..."

At this moment, Zhang Xi, looking at Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue with an indifferent, seemingly disdainful face, suddenly flew into a rage, unable to suppress his violent temper any longer.

Just as Zhang Xi was about to rebuke Zhao Lin, a deafening explosion, like thunder, erupted beside his ear, and at the same time, the ground beneath him shook violently.

Zhang Xi, feeling dizzy and disoriented, couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

Roar!

Then Er Pang, who had been standing still, took a sudden step forward and let out a growl, releasing a powerful aura that overwhelmed the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang, causing their hearts to tremble with fear.

Monster!

Impossible to fight against.

At this moment, both Zhang Qing and Zhang Xi looked pale. It’s probably their first time facing a fourth-tier Evolved Zombie at such close range.

If this Evolved Zombie weren’t under someone’s control, they might have been killed instantly.

"Ma’am, since you’re unwilling, our Dragon Tiger Gang won’t insist. Farewell!"

Zhang Qing, whose head was still ringing from the roar, knew that this was not a place to linger and politely spoke to Zhao Lin before hastily pulling Zhang Xi and several Evolvers from the Dragon Tiger Gang into the car and leaving the community.

Watching the truck slowly vanish at the corner ahead, Zhao Lin looked down at Ji Ruxue and said, "Little Qiqi, just by looking at the Dragon Tiger Gang, you can tell they’re not good people. This time, I’m afraid they won’t give up easily. Although our strength isn’t afraid of them, the other side might launch a surprise attack. You need to remind your dad to be careful and vigilant, so as not to give them an opportunity."

"Okay, Mrs. Zhao Lin, I’ll go back and tell Dad right away!"

Ji Ruxue nodded obediently. She understood the logic, and judging from the recent encounter, she estimated the other side wasn’t up to any good.

And they must have mistaken Zhao Lin for an Evolver who could control Evolved Zombies, which is why they sought to recruit her.

But now that Zhao Lin has rejected them, these people certainly won’t let it go.

However, Ji Ruxue wasn’t worried at all. Given the other side’s strength, they posed no threat to her and her dad.

......

Dragon Tiger Gang headquarters, underground club.

Bang!

"A stupid woman and her brat dare act so arrogantly! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Zhang Xi furiously slammed the table, spilling several beer glasses across it, with the liquor filling half the table.

The gathered underlings were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak, creating a heavy atmosphere.

"Brother, calm down. I didn’t expect that woman would so decisively refuse to join our Dragon Tiger Gang!"

Zhang Qing said, trying to appease Zhang Xi, shaking his head helplessly.

Logically speaking, a woman with a child in this world should see joining their Dragon Tiger Gang as the best option. He truly can’t understand why she refused.

"Hmph, no, no, we can’t just let this go. What’s so great about being able to control zombies? I must teach her a lesson!

Since the end-times, no one has dared to show me any defiance, and this time, I must smash her face!"

Zhang Xi let out a cold snort, the anger burning in his eyes, his fierce aura causing quite a few subordinates to shrink their heads in fear.

Turning his head, Zhang Xi urged Zhang Qing not far away: "Little brother, quickly gather the troops!"

"Brother, that’s a fourth-tier Evolved Zombie. It’s not something we can handle right now, even if we go all out; we probably wouldn’t be a match for it.

Moreover, we don’t even know how many fourth-tier Evolved Zombies they have. If there are many, we might all be doomed."

Zhang Qing said, trying to persuade Zhang Xi anxiously.

This is no joke; a fourth-tier Evolved Zombie is not something they can take on. If his brother remains stubborn, all of them might die.

Zhang Qing’s mention of a "fourth-tier Evolved Zombie" was like a cold bucket of water over the furious Zhang Xi, bringing him back to sanity.

That’s right, even with more people, facing a fourth-tier Evolved Zombie would just be a death sentence.

"So what should we do now? Beicheng is our Dragon Tiger Gang’s territory. The zombie Crystal Core is ours. How can we let others have free reign?"

Zhang Xi frowned and looked at the calm Zhang Qing, inquiring.

He’s always been accustomed to seeking advice from his brother.

Often, at moments like this, his clever brother would come up with ideas.

"Brother, with our Dragon Tiger Gang’s current strength, we can’t compete with that woman, but don’t forget about that monster."

"We can use a borrowed sword to kill."

As he spoke, a glint of coldness flashed in Zhang Qing’s eyes.

That woman’s ability is terrifyingly strong, with immense potential. If given time to grow, Zhang Qing was sure that the small Beicheng wouldn’t be her final destination.

However, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Beicheng is the territory of their Dragon Tiger Gang, and they cannot tolerate others encroaching. Since she refuses to accept the goodwill of their Dragon Tiger Gang, they would have to eliminate her in advance.

The mention of the word "monster" made even the usually arrogant Zhang Xi look serious and filled with dread in his eyes.

The surrounding Dragon Tiger Gang members, upon hearing about that monster, also stirred restlessly, their faces filled with panic.

Obviously, the monster Zhang Qing mentioned left an extremely deep impression on them.

There’s a rule in the Dragon Tiger Gang that they cannot take action at night.

This rule was specifically made because of this monster.

That monster is known for its nocturnal activities.

"It’s a good idea. That monster’s power is immense. Even if that woman’s subordinate has a fourth-tier zombie, it may not be a match for it. It would be best if both sides suffer, and our Dragon Tiger Gang can reap the benefits."

The more Zhang Xi thought about it, the more he found the plan feasible. If the plan went smoothly, their Dragon Tiger Gang had a great opportunity to eliminate two big threats at once.

However, soon the smile on Zhang Xi’s face disappeared, and he said with some worry, "That monster doesn’t listen to us at all, so even if we want to use a borrowed sword to kill, it won’t work!"

"Haha, brother, we don’t need that monster to follow our command. The monster craves blood, so we’ll give it blood."

Zhang Qing chuckled and said confidently.

"You mean..."

Zhang Xi’s eyes suddenly brightened.
