79: Professional Enemy

The nine men laughed heartily, as if they were about to succeed soon and smoothly take everything Si Nan possessed.

Chen Ding suddenly asked Shi Yong, "Brother Yong, how should we deal with that woman Si Nan?"

"Si Nan? Ah hahaha~" Shi Yong continued laughing, then his smile vanished. He wiped the drool about to drip from the corner of his mouth and said with a wicked grin, "Of course, she belongs to Brother Yong!"

"Uh, hahaha, Brother Yong is right. A Beauty like Si Nan naturally deserves someone like you, Big Brother. None of us brothers have any objections..."

However, this Shi Yong was not like those brainless people they dealt with before Si Nan; he was very smart. "Everyone, don't let your guard down. Based on the fates of those idiots who failed before, this woman Si Nan is formidable, not just because of her martial arts, but because she has a clever mind.

Not only did she quietly stockpile numerous supplies before the Apocalypse arrived, but she also managed to acquire firearms and ammunition. This should be credited to her father, who retired from the special forces.

Otherwise, even Brother Yong wouldn't be able to procure weapons. For a young woman barely in her twenties, if the zombie virus hadn't happened, she'd just be an ordinary office worker, making a maximum of 6000 a month.

The supplies she stored were definitely bought with the compensation money her parents received. Who would have thought that in the end, we brothers would be the ones enjoying life, taking over Si Nan's enjoyment, hahaha~"

"What are you saying, Brother Yong? You are almost Si Nan's live-in son-in-law. It's not taking over; it's continuing the lineage, going to the Si family to take care of their elderly parents and their daughter.

Don't worry, even if you establish a harem and become the emperor in their household, as long as you let their daughter be the Empress, the two elders will be eternally grateful to you in the afterlife."

Chen Ding flattered him excessively.

These words struck a chord with Shi Yong, making him ecstatic. "Ahahaha, it has to be you, Chen Ding. You're like the tapeworm in Brother Yong's stomach."

Someone else, even better at flattery than Chen Ding, Scarface's expression turned fierce. "Brother Yong, what's there to fear? We are professionals. Never mind the Old Crane, we also scavenged many fire extinguishers, air guns for hunting cattle and sheep, and solid telescopic batons.

With these things against Si Nan, she’ll be in for a tough time."

"What do you mean 'tough time for Si Nan'? We'll definitely beat her until she begs for mercy, hahaha~"

"Well said." Shi Yong and the other six burst out laughing.

Scarface once again made his presence known. "Brother Yong, just wait. In two days at most, I'll fix that scrapped surveillance drone. Then we can see her even when she uses the restroom; it will be clear what weapons she has, right?"

Shi Yong became agitated. "Really? Scarface, are you not lying to Brother Yong? Can you really fix that drone?"

Scarface slapped his chest repeatedly, saying, "Leave it to me! If I can't fix it within two days, Brother Yong, you can throw me to the zombies outside."

"Good, that sounds spirited. Brother Yong believes you. If you need manpower, just tell them; if you need parts they don't have, send them to get them.

You must fix the drone. Whether we can successfully capture Si Nan and obtain that Armored Vehicle depends entirely on this drone scouting out Si Nan's trump cards."

Shi Yong excitedly stood up, his entire body's blood boiling; victory was in sight.

Scarface was given such an important role, and furthermore, the other five men who only obeyed Brother Yong were now under his command. This was equivalent to being the second-in-command! After capturing Si Nan, Brother Yong would surely allocate more supplies to him.

Perhaps he would even get an extra woman, and he could have his own private room. He too could become a local emperor; this was incredibly awesome.

"Alright, thank you for your trust, Brother Yong. I'll go to the storage room in the garage right now to look for parts." Scarface stood up and left, practically floating as he walked.

The other five men were extremely displeased to hear they had to take orders from the most useless one, Scarface. Everyone knew Scarface was the least useful among them and the last one to join. He only joined because he brought a woman with him.

It was the woman Shi Yong was currently embracing. Although she was a married woman, her face was beautiful and still alluring. When Scarface brought her in, she was crying pitifully. How many days had passed? She was already serving Brother Yong comfortably, and occasionally Brother Yong would reward her with a big apple.

The woman was one thing, but now they had to listen to a good-for-nothing. It made them feel utterly humiliated.

Shi Yong was too busy doting on the woman in his arms to notice the expressions on the faces of the other men.

To vent the anger he felt from being bullied by the other five, ten minutes later, Scarface held up a tray of scrap metal and said to the five men:

"Sorry, brothers, none of this is usable. I need you to check room 1808 in the building we cleared out. I remember there was a large box of parts and tools inside.

If you bring me that box, I can fix the drone in one day."

Chen Ding was the first to snap back, "Are you trying to send us to our deaths? That building is 800 meters away from us. There's no electricity now, and every floor, every hallway, and the outside are full of zombies.

And you want us to carry a whole box of parts for you? How are we supposed to go? How are we supposed to carry it? Who will protect us? Why don't you go yourself?"

The others were equally furious. "Brother Yong asking you to fix the drone was an acknowledgment of your ability. He asks us for help, and you really think you're someone important? You directly order us to risk our lives for you. You should take a good look at yourself in the urine and see what kind of bastard you are."

"Hahaha, a turtle son actually dares to order me around. He's tired of living."

"He's not tired of living; he wants to die."

"What the heck."

The five men's words became increasingly offensive.

The scar on Scarface's face twitched fiercely. Suppressing the anger boiling in his chest, he selected a few components from the scrap metal and said calmly, "Brothers, you're overthinking things. These are usable; I need to test them quickly. If they don't work, I'll have to find new ones.

We are all Brother Yong's men, and we all want to capture Si Nan soon and live a safe and worry-free life. Taking a little risk is inevitable. If you brothers are unwilling to move that box of parts, that's fine too. You can search the nearby houses too; as long as you find the parts I need, it will suffice."

"You really don't know how to appreciate favors!" Chen Ding raised his fist, ready to strike.

He was stopped by two people. "Brother Chen, calm down. Stooping to his level lowers our intelligence. Fixing the drone is a task he boasted he would complete for Brother Yong; it has nothing to do with us."

This person then said to Scarface, "Don't think about ordering us brothers around either. You can dismantle whatever you need within this house and courtyard. Brother Yong asked us to help you, but it's limited to within this courtyard. Don't believe me? Go ask Brother Yong if he's willing to let us go to that building to move things for you?"

"Fine, fine, fine, you all don't want to help, right? If I don't have enough parts, I'll tell Brother Yong directly." Scarface stopped arguing with them. Currently, he was alone and at a disadvantage. Once he fixed the drone, it would be their death day.
