Chapter 20 The Wise Ideas of the Zhang Brothers!
"Since none of you have any objections, then it's settled!"
"Alright! Now that everything has been discussed, get ready, the convoy will be setting off soon!" Xu Wenchu said to the three of them.
"Okay!" All three nodded.
"Oh, right! Brother Zhao Hai, take this megaphone!" Xu Wenchu suddenly called out to Zhao Hai and handed him a small megaphone!
"Captain Xu! What's this?" Zhao Hai took the megaphone from Xu Wenchu and asked.
"Hehe! Brother Zhao Hai, this is a trick device that Captain Xu has! Did you see the big loudspeaker on his car? The big loudspeaker on his car and the small loudspeaker we have are actually the same trick device!"
They're called big and small loudspeakers!
There's only one large loudspeaker, but we can have multiple small loudspeakers.
This little speaker doesn't have any other function, it's just for transmitting sound between us, making it easier for us to communicate!
Wang Hu first explained to Zhao Hai, and then took out the small megaphone he was holding and shook it in front of Zhao Hai!
A trick!
Yesterday, Zhao Hai would have had no idea what this was, but after talking with Xu Wenchu and the other two for three hours about superhumans early this morning, he naturally knew what the mysterious artifact was!
The artifact, well, you could think of it as a doomsday treasure!
They often possess incredible abilities!
However, using magical artifacts also comes at a price, or rather, has side effects!
In the apocalypse, without the communication of the past, this strange device with large and small loudspeakers, although not a combat-type device, is extremely practical!
"Brother Tiger! What are the side effects of this strange artifact?" Zhao Hai asked curiously.
"Hehe! Come closer! I'll tell you!" Wang Hu said mysteriously, his eyes brimming with undisguised amusement.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Hai curiously leaned closer to Wang Hu and put his ear to him.
After hearing what Wang Hu said, Zhao Hai's face also darkened!
However, when Zhao Hai thought about how much worse the side effects were when Captain Xu used that megaphone, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore!
"Brother Tiger! The cost of using this thing is really... bizarre!" Zhao Hai thought for a long time before finally blurting out these two words.
"It must have been tough on Captain Xu!" Zhao Hai said, looking at Xu Wenchu with some sympathy.
"Hehe! What's the big deal! Captain Xu has a wife, what's so embarrassing about that!" Wang Hu said carelessly.
"Go away! You two are in my way!" Hearing the two of them talking about the side effects of the loudspeaker, Xu Wenchu felt embarrassed and immediately started to shoo them away.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai and the other two returned to their cars.
The scene of Zhao Hai and the other three superhumans chatting and laughing together was witnessed by many survivors in the convoy.
"Damn, how come Zhao Hai is suddenly chatting and laughing with the Sequence Transcendents in the team? When did Zhao Hai hook up with three Sequence Transcendents in the team?"
"Exactly. In terms of ability and eloquence, I am in no way inferior to Zhao Hai. How could the superhumans in the team possibly be interested in him? Could he be another Chen Zhifu?" A middle-aged man voiced his conjecture.
"Judging from Zhao Hai's demeanor, he seems to be even more favored by the superhumans than Chen Zhifu!"
"Hehe! You're right. Didn't you see that they didn't even talk to Chen Zhifu this time? It's obvious who's more favored! I reckon Chen Zhifu's position as the manager of the motorcade might be in jeopardy! Looks like there's going to be a good show!" An older woman said, looking on with amusement.
"So, Chen Hai really is a scoundrel. I remember he and Chen Zhifu had a pretty good relationship! Now he's actually currying favor with a superhuman behind Chen Zhifu's back! Sigh! I feel sorry for Chen Zhifu for a second!"
"Tch! What kind of thinking is that? It's the apocalypse now, survival is the most important thing, there's no such thing as betrayal! If I could climb up to a superhuman, I'd betray even my own brothers, let alone close friends!"
……
Back in the car, Zhao Hai had no idea that his discussion with the other three superhumans in the convoy had caused such a stir. If he knew, he would probably be speechless.
……
"Brother! Zhao Hai has now gotten on the good side of three superhumans in the convoy. If he wants to cause us trouble, we're in for a rough time! Maybe we should apologize to Zhao Hai!" Zhang Biao's younger brother, the tattooed thug, said to Zhang Biao with a worried expression.
"Hmph! What are you afraid of! Zhao Hai secretly climbed up to the superhuman in the convoy behind Chen Zhifu's back. Do you think Chen Zhifu will let him go? Chen Zhifu is no saint!"
Just you wait! It won't be long before Chen Zhifu comes looking for trouble with him. At that point, Zhao Hai won't even have time to deal with himself, let alone have the mind to target us!
However, Zhao Hai really knows how to stir things up! I never expected him to manage to get on the good side of the superhuman in the convoy; this guy is a real menace! Since we've already offended him, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"Perfect timing! We can go find Chen Zhifu and work with him to deal with Zhao Hai. That way, we can also get on Chen Zhifu's good side!" Zhang Biao said confidently.
"Hey! Bro! You're the quickest to think! Once we team up with Chen Zhifu to take down Zhao Hai, all his cars and supplies will be ours!" Zhang Biao's younger brother was also full of excitement.
"Fool! Do you really think Chen Zhifu is a freeloader? You're being greedy and trying to swallow an elephant! Is Chen Zhifu some kind of philanthropist? Do you think he'd let us take all of Zhao Hai's supplies?"
"If you really want to take all of Zhao Hai's supplies, once Chen Zhifu kills Zhao Hai, we'll be the first ones he kills!" Zhang Biao was furious looking at his stupid younger brother.
"Brother! Give all of Zhao Hai's supplies to Chen Zhifu!"
"Are you an idiot? If Zhao Hai gives all his supplies to that old bastard Chen Zhifu, then we've been working for nothing! Chen Zhifu already has a car. Once we take care of Zhao Hai, that car won't be of any use to him!"
"We don't want Zhao Hai's supplies, we just want his car. I don't think Chen Zhifu will refuse!" Zhang Biao looked confident and assured.
"Hehe! Bro, you're so smart! If we get a car, all those bitches in the convoy will flock to us. Then we can each pick one up, and life will be just too good!"
Moreover, we can use our car ride privileges to trade for supplies with those survivors who don't have cars! Just thinking about it makes life so comfortable!" Zhang Biao's younger brother was already lost in the wonderful fantasy of killing Zhao Hai and seizing his car!
