72: Turn the tables on them

Just then, the Little Black Cat had found the courtyard where Ma Guangqing and his group were eating, and with a light leap, it was over the wall.

The entire process made no sound at all.

Then, through his connection with the Little Black Cat, Gu Qinghan saw the Villagers gathered in the courtyard eating.

The woman who had been glared at by Ma Guangqing earlier was feeding the mischievous child, and she looked at the Village Chief, who was smoking a cigarette butt, and asked:

"I see that the leading man looks thin and weak, clearly not very capable. Village Chief, why are you trying to curry favor with him?

All the leftover pork from before was used up for this meal. Wouldn't it have been better to give it to our own people?"

Ma Guangqing finished his cigarette in one puff, looked at her disdainfully, and said:

"That's why I say old women have no foresight. If they didn't have some strength, could they have driven all this way here?"

"Maybe they just got lucky?"

"Good luck is also a form of ability. If it weren't for good luck, would I have my current class and have led you all to survive until now?"

At this moment, Ma Guangqing showed no trace of his previous honest and simple image; instead, he exuded a subtle roguish air.

He stood up, got an iron basin, and scooped several times from the two large pots.

Under the reluctant gazes of the crowd, he filled a basin full of dishes and then picked up about ten steamed buns, placing them in another basin.

Seemingly noticing the reluctant looks from those around him, he could only persuade them:

"Don't be reluctant over a mouthful of food. If they eat our stuff, they'll definitely feel obligated to act with us.

If we manage to take down that factory, won't we have as much food as we want then?"

A lean man scooped half a ladle of vegetables and looked up, asking:

"What if we can't take it down?"

"If we can't take it down, we'll just let this group of people be our shield, and we'll run back.

Anyway, if we can't take it down this time, our rice and flour will be almost gone, so we'll just leave in the direction they came from.

But I estimate it will work this time. Those two young people don't know the depths, but those ten armored people shouldn't be weak.

After taking it down, we'll find an opportunity to deal with these people."

Speaking of this, he instructed the man who had just served the dishes:

"See how many of those factory workers we caught before are still alive. It's been two days since they were fed, don't let them die."

The man shoveled all the food in his bowl into his mouth and said indifferently:

"They're all just bait to lure away those Mutated Creatures anyway. If they die, they die."

"Ma Liuzi, I'm warning you, if they die, then it'll be you who goes to lure that big black bear.

Did you forget? That thing is only interested in living creatures!"

Ma Liuzi, having been scolded, dared not argue further and could only dejectedly return to his room to get a large bottle of water before heading out the door.

Ma Guangqing watched him leave, then glanced at everyone in the courtyard, and turned to go deliver food to Gu Qinghan.

However, as his gaze swept across the courtyard wall, he suddenly saw a dark shadow seem to flash by.

He immediately ran out quickly but found nothing.

"Could it be that kid?"

Ma Guangqing frowned and hurried towards where Gu Qinghan had parked his car.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan slowly opened his eyes in the car and looked at Chen Yuting, who had been staring at him.

"That Village Chief is bringing us food. The food is fine, just make your expression natural."

Chen Yuting nodded, but Gu Qinghan could still see that her face was a bit pale, and her eyes still held some lingering fear.

Clearly, Gu Qinghan's earlier speculation had frightened her.

Gu Qinghan controlled the Skeletons on lookout outside, gathering them into a pile, making them assume either squatting or standing postures.

He opened the door a crack, letting the Little Black Cat jump in from outside, and then it lay at his feet.

The Little Black Cat had almost been seen by Ma Guangqing just now, and the other party had very likely become suspicious.

At this moment, any anomaly could deepen his suspicion.

After hearing their conversation, Gu Qinghan understood that the situation there might be difficult to deal with. He already had a plan and therefore was not preparing to escape.

He was going to use their plan against them!

He looked at Chen Yuting, hesitated for a few moments, then suddenly spoke:

"Come here, I want to tell you something."

Although Chen Yuting was a bit curious, she still leaned her ear closer.

As a result, Gu Qinghan suddenly lightly kissed her on the face.

Chen Yuting's face instantly turned red, and then she widened her eyes, staring at Gu Qinghan, unable to speak.

Gu Qinghan clasped his hands together, apologized, and then heard the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance.

Within a few seconds, the car window was already being knocked on. It had to be Ma Guangqing, without a doubt.

Gu Qinghan smoothly rolled down the window, turned on the overhead light, and looked at Ma Guangqing with surprise:

"Village Chief, what's wrong?"

Ma Guangqing glanced at his face, saw nothing out of the ordinary, lifted the two basins in his hands, and smiled:

"Didn't I say I'd get you some food? Eat it while it's hot.

There's not much food, but at least it's a hot meal, more filling than your bread."

At the same time, he naturally looked towards Chen Yuting in the driver's seat.

Upon seeing the lingering blush on her face, a large part of his vigilance dissipated.

Her appearance clearly indicated that she had been engaging in some intimate activity with this young man in the car just now.

The shyness and panic in her eyes could not be hidden from an old fox like himself, who had experienced many social intricacies.

Gu Qinghan coughed, then straightened up slightly, blocking Chen Yuting, and said:

"We've really eaten already. Village Chief, you're too kind."

Ma Guangqing laughed heartily, handed the two iron basins into the car, and then said:

"Of course, we won't let you eat for free. The fact that you can come here shows that you are very strong, and we have a connection.

Didn't you say you wanted to check out that food processing factory earlier? We're also preparing to venture inside. When we get the food, we'll give you a carload!"

Gu Qinghan was stunned, showing a puzzled expression:

"Village Chief, didn't you say that place was full of Mutated Beasts?"

"Yes, that's why we want you to come and try with us.

At that time, you just need to assist, and we'll handle the rest. We definitely won't let you be in any danger."

Ma Guangqing's peripheral vision had already swept over the Little Black Cat at Gu Qinghan's feet, and his last trace of vigilance slowly dissipated.

Gu Qinghan seemed a bit hesitant, then proactively got out of the car, handed the two basins of food to Chen Yuting, and said:

"Let's talk outside. You can eat something in the car first."

With that, he directly opened the door and got out of the car, standing by the roadside to chat with the other party.

Chen Yuting looked at Gu Qinghan, who seemed completely unguarded, clearly realizing he was acting.

At this moment, she also understood why he had kissed her just now: it was to lower Ma Guangqing's guard!

The Little Black Cat had gone out and then hurried back, making it easy to guess that it must have aroused Ma Guangqing's suspicion.

And Gu Qinghan's harmless appearance, along with his age, was the best disguise.

Who would have thought that such a young man, clearly only around twenty years old, would possess such cunning!

Coupled with his flawless acting and perfect on-the-spot improvisation, it directly caused Ma Guangqing to stop suspecting him.

The car window was not closed, so Chen Yuting could hear their conversation.

"So, Little Brother Gu, right? Since we're going to cooperate, we need to get to know each other a bit.

Let me briefly introduce myself first: Epic Class Earth Warrior, currently Level 9, with a total combat power of just over 700 including equipment."

"Hmm, alright. I'm a Rare Class Bone Spike Mage, also Level 9, with a total combat power of over 500."

Excellent, this guy Gu Qinghan is starting to lie again!
