The cold and dark gun muzzle was like death’s whisper. Although it was a deadly threat, it made one inadvertently focus all their attention on it.

The harsh and aggressive questioning was like the devil’s voice inside his mind, and it caused an unbearable feeling.

The beautiful and smooth M-1 rifle was pointed directly at Hou Tielong.

He contemplated for a second and calmly retracted his hand from under the table, raising it above his head.

“Sir, that’ll be me if you’re looking for the leader of the Night Assasins.

“If it’s money you want, I have plenty of supplies in the back of the room. There is also a secret passage that leads directly out of Origin Territory. You can take them without having to fight.

“If it’s information you need, I am very well-informed about public and secret information. I even know the reason for the strange occurrences in the past two days. I know about anything you want to investigate. I won’t hide anything from you.

“If it’s soldiers you need to rush to the frontlines, although I haven’t held a gun for a few times, I have plenty of men under me. They can charge in front of you, and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with them.

“If it’s revenge you seek, at least allow me to…know why you seek my life!”

Hou Tielong spat out a few sentences consecutively without stopping for a second and panted slightly.

He had been struggling to survive in the wasteland for so long and had offended many people in Origin Territory because of bounty rewards.

In the current circumstances, it was a waste of time to think about the enemies he offended that came to seek revenge.

The other party had the gun at his head, and if he did not have a good attitude toward them, they would only need to pull the trigger lightly and whatever happened next would be none of his concern anymore.

In the case that the other party was not here to seek revenge but wanted some other benefits, he had already explained his worth to them. There was still a chance for him to start over and make a comeback if the other party let him go alive.

However, the man in front of him did not say anything but mockingly took off his brown scarf and revealed his face.

“Hmm? What a surprise. You’re a rather sensible one.

“I thought I would have to give you a few more tastes of our village’s methods before you would be willing to cooperate.”

Supposedly, his words should have been in a surprised tone, but when they entered Hou Tielong’s ears, it seemed as if the person was disappointed.

It sounded as if this person felt it was a shame that he was not stubborn, resulting in him being unable to use his so-called methods. This made Hou Tielong feel a shiver down his spine.

“Alright. I’m not here to seek revenge. My leader wants to meet you and ask about a few things.

“We don’t need your supplies or intel.”

The man smiled, showing his mouthful of white teeth, and waved to the people behind him.

In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers with guns walked through the stone door.

In their hands were the same rifles as the man in the lead. At one glance, it was obvious they were a team and not a random group of people that temporarily gathered together.

“Sir, may I ask who your leader is…”

Seeing his subordinates that were sent to the San Yuan Hotel and those responsible for lurking in the dark were bounded by their wrists and escorted into the room, Hou Tielong stood up with a smirk.

In a short period, the figures of several people he offended flashed through his mind.

Among them, the former territory lord of a sub-territory, Marshal Wang, was one of the main suspects.

After thinking about it for a while, a person with Marshal Wang’s status was unlikely to have such a ruthless subordinate and it was even less likely for them to be equipped with such sophisticated equipment.

“Ha. You’ll find out eventually about the things you’re allowed to know. You shouldn’t ask any questions about things that you’re not supposed to know.”

The man pretended not to hear the intention of Hou Tielong’s question and simply sneered. The soldiers behind him stepped forward and began to tie him up.

They used sturdy hemp ropes that were two fingers thick and wrapped around iron wires.

After realizing that he had no chance of escaping being tied up, Hou Tielong sat down and pondered as he watched the captured men with a bitter expression.

…

It was nine in the morning, and Origin Territory’s traffic was completely jammed.

The sudden surge in the flow of people caused the unpopular east gate guarded by Huang Bin to be blocked, and the people queuing up even squeezed into the space of the guards on duty.

In desperation, the east gate guards and the whole maintenance of order in the gathering place collapsed, giving all the staff a break to join the queue to exchange resources.

Before Huang Bin could join the line, Du Shi, who arrived late, finally found him and proposed secretly taking control of the city gate and guard forces.

“Mr. Du, you want to take control of the city defense? This… would be easier if you used force.

“I don’t have the capabilities to help you secretly infiltrate the city guards!”

Although Huang Bin said so, he was extremely anxious as he clenched a large number of Origin coins in his pocket and glanced at the frantic crowd queuing up in the gathering place.

He knew Huang Ya had been given a vacation yesterday morning, and the territory lord Sun Bahu’s subordinate took over their work.

Additionally, he was also aware of the fact the territory supplies had been stolen.

It was easy for him to figure out what was happening by combining these two points together. He knew the consequences if he could not quickly convert the Origin coins he had into materials as soon as possible.

“You shouldn’t go. There is only a few percent of the resources left at most, and they will be gone before you reach the center.

“Besides, one person is only eligible to exchange ten Origin coins for each transaction. What can you exchange with so little?”

“Huh? Only ten Origin coins?” Huang Bin had just been blindly following the crowd and did not know any details.

He was dumbfounded after hearing Du Shi say that one person could only exchange ten Origin coins for supplies.

“What did you think? Letting you exchange ten Origin coins is already a miracle with this many people lined up. You can continue queuing if you desperately want to exchange them.

“However, you might not even reach the front before dark with so many people. How are you going to be able to queue for the second time?”

Du Shi shook his head and sighed at the pitiful scene.

He had never seen such a scenario before.

Everyone in Heaven’s Origin ate well, slept well, and had very satisfying work.

There was no need for them to worry about how to get through the next disaster since everything was settled by the shelter leader and leadership.

He was shocked about the situation in Origin Territory.

Although it was ten times larger than Heaven’s Origin, the difference between the management and treatment of the ordinary people was a world apart.

People here had to work plenty of jobs every day and pay various taxes. Most importantly, they were left to fend for themselves to survive the disaster.

Du Shi was confident that such a chaotic scene like the people frantically queuing up for supplies would never happen in Heaven’s Origin, even if the territory expanded to the same number of residents.

“Just follow me. You won’t need to do anything apart from bringing us to the Department of Guards.

“You can assist me from the side for the rest of it. We will handle everything else!”

There were thirty soldiers behind Du Shi, standing in groups of ten.

With such strength, if not for Su Mo’s strict orders, the Department of Guards would not be able to sustain such an attack and would collapse instantly.

“Fine, I’ll come with you!”

Huang Bin glanced at the long queue behind him once more, and fear flashed through his eyes which gradually turned into determination.

Evidently, he understood he could not exchange any supplies in time.

It was hard to imagine what crazy things these ordinary people were about to do in the next 48 hours!
