Chapter 133 Negotiation (Part 2)
"So, the only thing you haven't left for a long time is to find your boyfriend, but also to save your arrested companions?"
Listening quietly to what Andrea said, to be honest, Brian was actually a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he asked his doubts in his heart: "Your companions are willing to agree?"
"Of course they refused!"
Somehow he thought of something, Andrea smiled bitterly on the corner of his mouth and said, "But the only one in the whole team dared to go out to search for food. Facing those survivors and infected people, we were unwilling to leave, so of course they did not dare to leave alone."
Of course, there were still some things he didn't say. Because he stayed in the whole town for too long, some people had already raised objections, and it was only when she persuaded them that they were willing to stay for a while.
"Hmph! I want me to tell you that I shouldn't have saved them at the beginning!"
Speaking of this, Leo became very angry and said, "If those guys were suffering and tired, they had to stay here for a while, Ed and Barron would not have disappeared to find supplies, Theodore and others would not have arrested us. We would have been able to leave here long ago. Now they still complain all day long, and they asked me to say that these burdens should be..."
"Stop talking!"
Hearing Leo's words became less and less sensible, Andrea frowned and shouted sternly, stopping the other party from continuing to talk nonsense.
Looking at Andrea's tone and expression ahead, Brian looked at her carefully, and the other party had a rough understanding of his personality.
This woman named Andrea has strong decision-making ability and seems very decisive when encountering crisis situations. However, she is too weak in dealing with teammates’ issues, is too rational, cannot be cruel, kind-hearted, and has a very desire to protect the weak.
But it is precisely because of her personality that it can easily drag down other capable teammates, resulting in constant conflicts in the team. What they encountered in Taoshu City is a typical example.
And as they heard that there are already people in the team who are already complaining about continuing to stay in the room.
Brian could imagine that if they hadn't come here, the other party would have stayed here. It was estimated that in a short time, the team she led would be divided into two, a group of people wanted to leave and go to the quarantine area, and a group of people wanted to stay and save their companions. By that time, the situation would be interesting.
Thinking of this, he spoke, "I'm afraid the captain of this team is not you at the beginning, right?"
Andrea was stunned by this question, looked at Brian in surprise and said, "You...how did you know?"
"Because you are too weak to your teammates!"
He leaned back slowly and Brian explained: "If you are the captain of such a long journey, according to your personality, the team will probably fall apart before halfway through."
After hearing what he said, not only Andrea and Leo, but Hannah, who stood aside and remained silent and looked very calm, raised her head in shock.
"Oh my God, what you said is exactly the same as Captain Robert!"
Leo grew up and pointed at Brian with his hand. His tone was full of disbelief. Then he was afraid that he would not understand, so he continued:
"Robert is the captain who has been leading us before. Later, in order to cover our retreat, the infected person bit him and when he handed over the captain's position to Andrea, he said what you said just now, saying that her attitude towards her companions was too lenient and made her strict and tough to others, so that the team would not be too loose, and it would also restrain the team's behavior and reduce the occurrence of unexpected situations."
The more he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, covering his mouth, and looked at Andrea with guilt.
But who knew Andrea lowered her head, pursed her lips, and clenched her fists gently, which looked very uncomfortable. She was either not unaware of the problem with her handling of the situation, but whenever she saw their begging expressions, she just couldn't scold and restrain them with a tough heart.
What Leo said reminded her of the situation when the old captain led the team. At that time, everyone was disciplined and did not slacken at all.
Andrea suddenly realized that the situation in front of her was caused by her from the beginning. Her tolerance and indulgence made those lazy people more unscrupulous, hurting their companions who really care about the team, dragging down their capable teammates, and even... they killed her boyfriend whom she has always loved deeply.
"So, the last question."
Ignoring Andrea's almost collapsed appearance, Brian just looked at the other person coldly, and asked an extremely sharp question in Hannah's glaring gaze.
"Have you ever thought about giving up rescuing your arrested companions and taking the others out of here!"
"Won't!"
As soon as Brian finished speaking, Andrea suddenly raised her head, and several red bloodshots appeared in her eyes at some point. She said firmly: "They were caught because of this team. Even if I was the only one left, I would never give up and save them!"
“…”
After looking straight into those eyes for a long time, Brian could see that the other party was not saying anything against his will. Although he did not agree with her in his heart, he still had a good impression of the other party's character.
He sat there quietly, without saying a word, tapping his fingers gently on the table, then raised his hand to look at the time, as if waiting for something.
Andrea and Leo on the opposite side could naturally see that the other party was thinking. When they looked at each other, they were still a little nervous. After all, whether they could rescue the captured companion may depend on the decision of the person in front of them.
"Captain, I'm Norman!"
After waiting for half an hour, when it was two o'clock in the afternoon, the walkie-talkie under Brian's neck rang, and Norman's voice came from it.
Hearing this voice, Brian immediately cheered up, pressed his hand on the walkie-talkie and replied, "I'm here, what's going on with you?"
"I just saw a group of people coming from the bridge and entering the hotel. I counted it and there were twenty people in total. Add to the questions in the hotel, I guess there were no more than twenty-five people. Each of them was holding guns, but one of three people was holding pistols."
"Well, I understand. Keep observing. If there are still more people, tell me as soon as possible."
"clear!"
After turning off the walkie-talkie, Brian took out a bottle of wine from his arms, took a sip, and his mind began to run rapidly. The situation is now five to twenty-five. Both parties hold guns in their hands. It seems that they are at a disadvantage, but in fact, there are not many people in this regard. The other party does not know that they have been exposed, nor does they know that their plans have been exposed. They have a plan without intention. In addition, the other party is just some civilians who have not received much training, and the winning rate can almost be said to be 90%.
Andrea and the other two who were waiting opposite each other also looked at Brian. Although they couldn't hear what the walkie-talkie said, they knew who the other party was contacting.
"He does have teammates!"
Andrea's eyes were full of joy. He had previously guessed that the other party was in the quarantine area behind him, so she was willing to tell everything. When she saw it, she understood that her guess was correct, and it seemed that the other party's identity was not low.
"I will help you save your companions!"
Standing up from the seat, Brian gave a positive answer in the expectant eyes of the two people in front of him. Since he had decided to take action against the survivor groups, the supplies in their base must be obtained. As for rescuing those arrested, it was just a by-pass.
"Thank you, no need"
He reached out and interrupted the other party's words of thanks and said, "Do you know where the camps of those survivors are?"
Seeing him suddenly ask this question, Andrea was a little confused, but she still answered with certainty: "Of course I know, it's in a golf course."
After getting the answer, Brian nodded and said, "You go back now and bring all you can fight with you and gather there tonight."
As he said that, he took out a walkie-talkie from his backpack behind him, threw it to them, and said, "I will contact you then!"
"Is that all?"
Andrea was obviously a little dissatisfied with this arrangement. She frowned slightly and couldn't help asking: "Hey, if you have any plans tonight, we can help!"
"unnecessary."
After hearing this, Brian refused the other party's request without hesitation and said, "We both do not have a full foundation of trust for the time being. It is better to avoid some risks as much as possible. Also, my name is Brian."
After saying that, he did not continue talking nonsense, turned around and left quickly, and disappeared without a trace before the three of them could react.
After a while, Brian appeared on the roof where he had just begun to hide, picked up the two barrels of gasoline placed there again, and continued on.
He entered a beer house around the corner and poured out all the beer that had already passed the shelf life.
Then he filled the beer bottle with gasoline and sealed it with a rag to make a fire bomb. This is also one of his favorite throwing weapons. The most important thing is that he does not make a huge explosion like a grenade.
Looking at the fire bombs made one by one, Brian's eyes shone with excitement. The fire tonight seemed to be unable to escape!
