Ding Gunian was also surprised by the appearance of Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning. One looked valiant with an imposing aura but has a graceful figure like a runway model, while the other looked delicate and soft, pure and innocent student who hasn’t left school yet.
Each has its own characteristics, each has its own style, but both can still be regarded as top beauties.
But after discovering that they’re actually acquainted with Peng Mao, the mood was a little delicate.
He looked at Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning and said, “Are you two Peng Mao’s companions?”
If these two women are the only companions of Peng Mao, then he has made a fortune!
“Sort of.” Hao Jian responded flatly.
Lian Ru Ning’s reaction was a little milder as she slightly smiled and said, “You’re Mr. Ding Gunian, right? I’ve heard Peng Mao mention you.”
Ding Gunian gave Peng mao a sidelong glance, knowing that he couldn’t possibly say anything good about himself, but he was still in a pleasant mood and said, “Yes, I am, but I don’t know who the Miss is. . .”
Shi Gong Dui’s words came out of the intercom, “You guys don’t waste time. Quickly ask Peng Mao if he’s done talking to the kid and hurry back if he’s done to help.”
As soon as the voice came out, Ding Gunian raised an eyebrow. It seems that there’s really a team behind Peng Mao. If these two girls dared to come alone, then it means they’re also the same as Peng Mao who has some backing.
Although the two have a knife, he doesn’t think that the two soft girls have any power.
But no matter how much he disagreed with the situation, he had to put his malicious thoughts away. The zombies are easy to deal with, but people who have teams like him aren’t as simple.
He looked at Peng Mao, “You still have other companions, why don’t you call them here and we can all get acquainted with each other?”
Although Peng Mao was moved, he still didn’t want Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning to be in danger, so he replied, “The road over there is blocked, they’re still clearing the blocking vehicles.”
He made sure not to mention how many ‘they’ are to allow Ding Gunian to guess for himself and give him a little scare.
From the first time Hao Jian saw Ding Gunian, she already felt that something was wrong with the person. She couldn’t say exactly what, after all, she just met this person casually and she didn’t know what he could do.
Ding Gunian saw that Hao Jian’s body also had a walkie talkie and he could even hear the other side’s conversation. He felt that the team Peng Mao relied on wasn’t a simple one since it has at least some high-tech equipment.
He didn’t dare look down on them for a while and rather pleasantly handed out an invitation, “Since they don’t have time to come, why don’t we all sit down and get to know each other, have drinks, and patiently wait for them to come over?”
Hao Jian didn’t say anything while Peng Mao looked at Peng Sheng. Under Ding Gunian’s gaze, Peng Sheng told his brother, “Don’t you have something you want to say to me, brother?”
Peng Mao would naturally stay while Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning agreed.
The reason why Hao Jian came over with Lian Ru Ning was indeed agreed by all of them since they couldn’t leave Peng Mao behind. The second reason is that Hao Jian also wanted to know what Ding Gunian could do. It would also be good if she could gather information from them.
After all, they can’t stop communicating with other people just because they’re suspicious of others. If they don’t have information, they lose the opportunity to deal with any crisis.
But they dared to come alone not just to frighten Ding Gunian. Shi Gong Dui has already hacked into the town’s wireless devices and when the time comes that Hao Jian and the others become in danger, he will use these devices to give Ding Gunian’s group some ‘surprises’.

The place where Ding Gunian and the others stayed was in a factory building at the entrance and exit of the expressway, surrounded by wasteland, and looking at it from a distance, it would take a long way for them to get to town.
Three vehicles were parked around the plant. One minibus and two off-road vehicles. The minibus seems to be loaded with a lot of supplies.
Hao Jian silently counted when she came all the way and suspected that there were at least twenty people of Ding Gunian’s associates. There were both men and women, but the women were relatively looked like vases.
Each man had a weapon at hand, some carried machetes, some had Gurkha swords strapped to their waists while others carried sapper shovels and fire axes. The one Hao Jian was most concerned about was the crossbowman.
Hao Jian’s feeling that something was wrong with this team became stronger, but before she could think deeply about it, Ding Gunian said, “Here we are. There are fans, fruits, and refreshments. Come in and sit down!”
After that, ‘Brother Xun’ proudly said, “It’s almost noon, the sun is so fierce so you must be very thirsty and sweaty from being outside! President Ding is willing to offer these things to you as a sincere token of friendship as he really wants to make friends with you!”
“President Ding?” Hao Jian sized up Ding Gunian from top to bottom, “I didn’t expect Mr. Ding to be a president at such a young age, he must be very promising at such a young age!”
It wasn’t easy to get compliments out of Hao Jian’s mouth, but both Peng Mao and Lian Ru Ning were aware of the perfunctory nature of her words, as well as her doubts.
Ding Gunian and the others had never gotten along with her, so they naturally didn’t know the meaning behind her compliments.
Seeing her complimenting himself, Ding Gunian was quite proud but only broke into a slight smile on the surface, “No, no, no, it’s just a nickname that the brothers made through as nonsense. By the way, I don’t know the names of the two ladies yet!”
“My surname is Hao, and my name is Hao Shanliang1.” Hao Jian lied with a straight face as if it was really her name.
“. . .” Lian Ru Ning and Peng Mao both tried their best to maintain straight faces, otherwise, they really wanted to uncover her shamelessness.
Ding Gunian and ‘Brother Xun’ looked a little odd, but such names didn’t seem to be too weird as he said, “So you’re Miss Kindness.”
Lain Ru Ning also gently and politely reported her surname, “My surname is Lian, I’m just a student so please just call me Student Lian.”
Ding Gunian wasn’t disappointed that he didn’t get Lian Ru Ning’s name. He thought that meeting each other was fate regardless of what team they were in before. As long as he showed his charm, he felt that he could persuade them to switch to his side of the camp.
With a small calculation in his mind, he still didn’t forget to ask Hao Jian for information about their team.
Hao Jian simply asked in return, “We didn’t find President Ding’s team along the way, so President Ding shouldn’t have taken the expressway, right?”
Ding Gunian was slightly surprised, thinking that their team’s scouting methods were indeed good.
He smiled and said, “We really didn’t come here by highway, because we encountered some trouble in Xinghua City ahead, so we found a boat and came here directly. But after passing this town, there’s a dam and the boat can no longer sail so we planned to take the highway instead.”
Hao Jian’s previous question was just a guess because she just found out that the name printed on the minibus was the name of the passenger station in this town. If they were taking the highway, then the section of the road where they came from wouldn’t still be in a jam.
Therefore, she believed that Ding Gunian and his team arrived two days earlier and obtained the minibus, otherwise, with so many people, two off-road vehicles alone wouldn’t be able to carry so many people.
Of course, these two off-road vehicles may also have been obtained in this town.
In any case, Hao Jian didn’t let her guard down, and generally, at such times, it was basically Lian Ru Ning’s turn to interact with people, which makes it convenient for Hao Jian to observe the others from behind.
“Didn’t you encounter it when you came over?” Ding Gunian asked rhetorically.
At first, Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning weren’t sure if Ding Gunian were talking about ‘Wugui’, but after he said that, they instantly knew that he was indeed referring to ‘Wugui’, otherwise, why would he ask that?
“President Ding isn’t talking about the gang who robbed the road in Xinghua City, right?” Hao Jian interjected.
Din Gunian thought about it and nodded, “You can say that. It seems you’ve also met them, but neither of you seems to know the details of the other party?”
“Not very clear. They set up roadblocks at various major roads and ask people for tolls. We almost clashed with each other, but later retreated. I don’t know what happened.” Hao Jian responded.
What she answered was seven parts true while the remaining three parts of it were false, which seemed to be a hundred percent true for Ding Gunian and the others.
Both sides didn’t say anything more about the ‘Wugui’ people and Ding Gunian also wanted to inquire about their team through peng Mao, so he told Peng Sheng, “Peng Sheng, your big brother came to look for you on purpose, do you have nothing to say to him?”
Peng Sheng was very reluctant to face Peng Mao, however, he also understood what Ding Gunian wanted so he stared straight at Peng mao, “What do you want to say to me? I don’t think there’s anything left to say between us.”
Peng Mao no longer had the anger and heartache he had just felt and said with slight emotion, “I just happened to see you here and am relieved to know you’re still doing well.”
Peng Sheng gritted his teeth and said with slight reluctance, “I’m fine! At least I’m relying on my own ability to get supplied for survival. Unlike you, who I’m afraid will only just cry to someone else for blessings, right?!”
Lian Ru Ning was surprised, “No one in our team is a freeloader. Aren’t you, his brother? Why are you saying such harsh words to him?”
Peng Sheng looked at them in disbelief. He felt that Peng Mao couldn’t be as useful as Lian Ru Ning said. If he really can become someone useful, doesn’t that mean that he was wrong to abandon his older brother?
On one hand, he couldn’t admit his mistake, and on the other, he felt that Peng Mao obviously had the ability so why didn’t he stand out before? If he had someone he could rely on, he wouldn’t have broken his arm while searching for supplies so much that his left arm is still unable to recover.
Peng Mao saw that he was blaming himself and was really disappointed in him.
“I was thinking. . . I’m not the useless older brother I used to be and although I can’t do what President Ding did to keep you warm and fed three meals a day, as long as I’m alive, I’ll do my best to protect you.”
“Are you kidding, what are you going to protect me with? A crowbar? President Ding has many crowbars!” Peng Sheng furiously replied.
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning looked at Peng Sheng and thought that these two brothers were a bit alike. Of course, not about their temperament, but on the outside.
Peng Sheng was about the same height as Peng Mao, but because he wasn’t a bodybuilding coach, he didn’t have muscles on his body. His body looked much more normal this way than Peng Mao’s.
His hair has probably been unkempt for a long time and looks messy. His face also didn’t look very good with scruff around his mouth, as if he hasn’t shaved for a few days.
Peng Mao laughed at his words with a little anger, “Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. We’re both adults and we can make decisions for ourselves so let’s just take care of our own in the future!”
Ding Gunian signaled towards ‘Brother Xun’ who quickly went forward and tried to persuade Peng Sheng, “Xiao Sheng, he’s your older brother anyway, how can you have grudges towards your brother? And he just wants what’s best for your own good, even if you don’t plan to leave with him, there’s no need to speak so aggressively!”
It was just for appearances as they were afraid that after Peng Mao left, Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning would leave too. How could Ding Gunian let the opportunity go?
‘Brother Xun’ knew Ding Gunian’s thoughts so they were words to persuade Peng Sheng, explicitly and implicitly telling Peng Sheng to behave if he still wanted to live a good life. He has to look at their faces.
Peng Sheng regretted it after arguing with Peng Mao. he knew that Ding Gunian had taken a liking to the two girls, but he also knew that Ding Gunian already had many women by his side, so he didn’t plan to help Ding Gunian’s pimping in the first place.
However, Ding Gunian’s follower ‘Brother Xun’ is holding chicken feathers as an arrow and he couldn’t resist2. Moreover, he didn’t only do things without conscience once or twice so it doesn’t matter if he does it again.
So he quickly expressed his remorse to Peng Mao.
It was a little hard to say what Peng Mao’s mood was but he didn’t immediately leave because Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning seemed to have no intention of leaving just yet, so he ‘begrudgingly’ stayed again.

At this moment, two women and a man came in from outside the factory.
One of the women had long hair that reached to her waist, wearing a cool summer outfit of a sleeveless vest and denim shorts, with a pair of exquisite sandals under her feet. If one adds the sun hat and sunglasses, one could assume that she was on vacation.
The other woman’s eyes were more fierce as she stared at Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning. Her gaze had clear malicious intents as if looking at Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning like they were her two natural enemies. Her clothing is a little more normal than the former, at least they wouldn’t be seen as a ‘sweet baby’ who didn’t know that zombies were roaming outside.
The man looked quite young, wearing a pair of square black-rimmed glasses. His appearance looked average but his fair complexion makes up for his average looks and his body isn’t as charming as someone who would survive during the apocalypse.
After they came in, Hao Jian didn’t pay attention to the two women but felt something dangerous towards the man.
Although the man had a harmless appearance, Hao Jian saw a ‘cunning person’ in his smile and eyes who seemed as scheming as Hu Dan.
“Xiaoyue, Shuxian, Afu, you’ve come back just in time. Come and get to know each other.” Ding Gunian waved to the three of them, “This is. . . Peng Mao, Xiao Sheng’s brother. These two are Peng Mao’s teammates who happened to pass by here.”
Both women walked up to Ding Gunian, who casually touched their asses.
The expressions of the two women and the man were different. The man first stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Hao Jian, “Hello, my name is Shen Fu, ‘Shen’ of Shenyang3 and ‘Fu’ of support.”
“My name is Li Xiaoyue.” The delicate woman nodded slightly.
The remaining woman gave them a blank look and said, “I know Peng Mao, wasn’t he too useless that’s we he left the team? What, did he find a taker?”
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning both ignored her but greeted Shen Fu and Li Xiaoyue gently and politely.
When the woman saw that they ignored her, she was very angry and pulled Ding Gunian’s arm with a pout, “Brother Nian, where did they come from, so rude!”
Ding Gunin faintly smiles, held her hand, and said, “Their teammates are still clearing the vehicles blocking the highway.”
It was an implication that they had someone backing them so she shouldn’t provoke them.
The woman reluctantly curled her lips and quickly calculated the benefits. She then went over and said. “My name is Lai Shuxian, Brother Nian’s wife. Peng Mao used to call me sister-in-law Nian, you shouldn’t be ignorant.”
“. . .” Hao Jian dug her ears, feeling that listening to such brainless people talking is extremely toxic for her ears.
Instead of being ‘Nian’s wife’, it’s more like ‘Beast Nian4‘!
