C26 Start Hunger
There was no light in the fortress, but there was a very precise time, a large bell was erected at the very top, and when the bell rang during the day, the lights were on, and at night, it was dark.
On this day, just as the bell rang, the interior of the fortress was illuminated. A piece of news spread across the streets and alleys at a rapid speed.
"The supplies have been tightened. Everyone's rations have been halved!"
The supplies that could only sustain basic survival and ensure that the witnesses would not starve to death were immediately halved. This immediately caused panic.
"Why is this happening?"
"The Alliance's warehouse has been stolen, and the resources have been seriously damaged. Now, the reduction of everyone's rations is also for everyone's good. In addition, the Alliance has issued a notice that as long as the thief is reported, they will receive a huge reward!"
Just one piece of news had forced everyone into fear, and this fear turned into anger. Those who had previously praised Lee Liang for stealing the warehouse immediately hated Lee Liang.
All the pressure was instantly directed towards Lee Liang and the others.
"What a good technique! Killing people in the heart, turning us into sinners!"
In the secret chamber, Lee Liang clapped his hands. He had to praise the person who had come up with this idea. It was a really good strategy. It was much smarter than the villains in the novels he had read in the past.
"Chung Ming is still so vicious!" Mr Cheng slammed the table with his hand. He looked a little angry. Seeing the doubt on Lee Liang's face, he added, "Chung Ming is the captain of the fortress."
"Is there any news from Binn?" Lee Liang asked.
Binn was Mr Cheng's spy in the alliance. He was the captain of a small team, but this small team was not part of the combat sequence. It was the logistical support, so the information he could get was limited.
Previously, Binn and Kong Fei had a conflict in the submersible vehicle. The other side did not dare to attack because they were at the same level. If they did, it would be very troublesome.
"There is no news at all!" Mr Cheng was a little worried. "All communication channels have been cut off. It seems that the people of the alliance have been restricted."
"Are we going to attack?"
However, nothing happened that day.
It was the same for the next two days. The atmosphere sank into a dead silence. The more it was like this, the more it hinted at the arrival of a major change.
Hunger was the most real feeling.
Gradually, people could see people who fainted from hunger on the streets. Moreover, those who were physically weak would easily become targets for snatching. They could not even protect the little amount of food that kept them alive. If this continued, the situation of starving people would definitely occur!
On the fourth day, the Alliance officially announced that anyone who reported a rebel would be rewarded with double the food reward.
On that day, someone was arrested for being reported.
Mr Cheng felt the pressure getting bigger and bigger. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"I have a plan!" Lee Liang also saw the situation clearly and told Mr Cheng what he thought.
On the same day, an explosive news came out. The thief who had stolen the warehouse had turned himself in!
Mad Dog led a team of Alliance members to escort Lee Liang and walked on the street.
"How dare you go against me!" Mad Dog walked to Lee Liang's back, raised his leg, and kicked him in the back.
Lee Liang staggered and did not fall down. The hit did not hurt him. He did not say anything and did not care about Crazy Dog. He just walked forward.
The group soon arrived at the base of the alliance.
"Boss wants to see you. You have to be obedient!" The mad dog put a pair of shackles on Lee Liang's hands and feet before he took him to the second floor.
Music was playing on the second floor. It sounded like classical music and made people feel comfortable listening to it.
However, for Lee Liang at this moment, he was not in the mood to enjoy music.
"Here it comes!" A young man was waving his hands as if he was dancing with the rhythm. Even his eyes were closed and he did not open them. It was as if he was living in his own world.
"Boss, give him to me later. I will definitely make him wish he was dead. Spit out everything that has stolen from us!" The mad dog said with a smile. The way he looked at Lee Liang was full of fierceness.
"Stupid. The food has been distributed. Did you dig out the food from those garbage stomachs?" Chung Ming scolded with a smile. He waved his hand to signal the mad dog to go out.
The mad dog was reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey the order. He could only go out and wait for the order in the corridor.
"You are called Lee Liang?" Chung Ming heard it and walked to the side of the machine. He pressed on the instrument with his finger and the music stopped. He walked to Lee Liang's side and looked at him as if he was looking at a commodity.
"I actually quite like you. You are brave and resourceful. You are not like those rats who only know how to fight. You do not even have the value to make me spend my time."
"You are ruthless. Even if you starve everyone to death, you don't care, right?"
Chung Ming did not deny it, nor did he admit it.
"The Alliance Warrior I know is not a bastard like you!" Lee Liang thought of Wang Cheng, the young man who sacrificed himself to save his companion.
"You don't understand the Alliance. Or rather, you do. Too little! The surviving humans, in order to survive, established the Alliance. There are many secrets that you don't know!" Chung Ming did not continue, "Look at how good I am now, living comfortably in this fortress. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I can live a carefree life. And I can do whatever I want!"
"You treat everyone else as slaves! I have seen a lot of people like you. You will not end up well! "Lee Liang could not help but curse.
"You can think whatever you want. Anyway, I am everything here. I am not in a hurry to kill you because you are still useful to me!" Chung Ming said slowly. There was a trace of greed in his eyes. "Yang Ying, I like this woman, but she will not obey me no matter what. So, I need you to help me with something! "
"If you dare touch her, I will take your life!" Lee Liang roared.
"Originally, I wanted you to help me persuade her, but now it seems like... There is no need for that. I have a new idea. That is to make her choose between your life and obeying me. If she doesn't listen to me... I'll kill you!" Chung Ming said proudly, just like a game player. He controlled everything.
"I got it!"
Lee Liang stretched out his hand to hit the guy in front of him. His hands and feet were tightly trapped, and he couldn't move at all. After struggling for a few times, he fell to the ground.
"Take him to see that woman. Let that woman know that if she doesn't listen to him, that fellow won't live!" Chung Ming shouted.
The mad dog walked in and dragged Lee Liang out.
The first floor of the underground floor was like a big prison. Many women's voices came from below. There should be buildings below.
Lee Liang was brought to a simple room that had been renovated. The room was surrounded by an iron fence.
Yang Ying was sitting inside.
"You bunch of animals, let me out!" Yang Ying first saw the mad dog and roared. Then she saw Lee Liang lying on the ground and quickly ran over.
"Are you alright?"
Both of them asked at the same time.
Lee Liang smiled at Yang Ying. She did not look injured, so she should be fine.
"You can still laugh at such a time. There is really something wrong with your brain!" Yang Ying scolded Lee Liang, but her tone was very gentle.
"We should have misunderstood the alliance before. Or, these people here are rat poop in the alliance. It is too bad!" Lee Liang said with a smile.
"Bastard, what did you say?" The mad dog kicked Lee Liang.
Lee Liang didn't care at all and continued, "Don't worry, I will save you!"2
Yang Ying looked at Lee Liang. This guy was still talking nonsense, but why did he sound so comforting and comforting? Tears unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"Ding! The first beauty developed a trace of love towards the host. Gift a big gift bag!"
