Chapter 49: Turmoil

  "Sister Moon, what to do? Those people are about to rush in!"

  At this time, in the house where Tang Tian and others lived in Shijiazhuang Village, Liu Qiang's daughter Liu Xin said to Zhao Yue'er beside her with a worried face.

  Looking at the dozens of people surrounding the small building, Zhao Yue'er was also anxious, but she comforted her by saying: "Xin'er sister don't be afraid, your father will handle it well, and Brother Tang will definitely come back soon."

  "Hmm...", although she was at a loss for what to do, the little girl still nodded calmly.

  Things were like this, just when Tang Tian and the others encountered two mutated beasts fighting each other, a few people took advantage of the chaos to escape back to the village. However, after half a day without seeing Tang Tian and the others return, these people started having different thoughts, thinking that Tang Tian and the others had encountered danger and wouldn't be able to come back. So they gathered the other villagers from Stone Village and surrounded the house where Tang Tian and the others lived, wanting to rob them of all their food.

  Upon learning of this situation, Liu Qiang immediately gathered his men to intercept them. However, what he didn't expect was that eight out of the ten people under him had defected to the other side, leaving Liu Qiang feeling overwhelmed.

  At this time they were still at a standoff outside.

  "Liu Qiang, get out of my way. Considering we're all from Shijiazhuang Village, I don't want to hurt you outside. If you step aside, we'll definitely give you a share of the grain after we take it." A burly man holding a brocade-clothed guard's knife spoke menacingly to Liu Qiang.

  Liu Qiang and the other two people faced these dozens of people, and it's impossible not to feel nervous. He calmed himself down and said: "Zhang Kun, have you thought about the consequences of what you're doing? If Tang Tian comes back and sees you like this, do you think you'll have a good outcome? Have you forgotten what happened to Wu Jun?"

  "Hmph, don't try to scare me with big talk! Tang Tian that kid has some skills, but now he's gone and it's uncertain if he'll come back. Besides, he's an outsider, what right does he have to take all our food for himself? And he wants us to listen to him? Who does he think he is?" Zhang Kun said loudly, so everyone could hear his words.

  As expected, his words reached other people's ears, and immediately some people began to shout in agreement: "That's right, hand over the grain, return our grain to us".

  "Drive that little brat out of Shijiazhuang Village, he's not one of us here."

  ……

  Upon hearing these voices, Zhang Kun said to Liu Qiang with a smug expression: "You've seen it all, right? This isn't just my idea, this is what everyone thinks. What else do you have to say? Get out of the way."

  "Do you think that by taking away the grain, you can survive in this dangerous world? Haven't you seen those powerful mutated beasts in the morning? Without a strong person like Tang Tian to protect you, do you think you can make it through tomorrow?" Liu Qiang said.

  As expected, when these people heard about their own lives and property, they became a bit hesitant. These people have low cultural levels and are easily deceived by others, whoever has reason will be biased towards them.

  Seeing those hesitant faces, Zhang Kun sneered: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Liu Qiang is Tang Tian's man, of course he will speak for him. They take our food away and eat well every day, but only give us enough to fill our bellies. Those grains are ours, why should they enjoy them? And can't we become stronger like Tang Tian?"

  These people heard that and thought it was also our thing, why should you enjoy it? You can deal with those mutant beasts, can't we? Suddenly these people started to become ** again.

  In fact, it all boils down to Tang Tian, as an outsider, occupying their food, leaving a grudge in the hearts of these people. Someone took the lead and slightly provoked them, stirring up the anger in their hearts, and they followed suit, actually quite blindly.

  "This is a matter that Brother Tang entrusted to me before he left, if I can't even handle this, I'll have no face to see him when he returns", Liu Qiang thought to himself as he faced the dozens of people.

  He was also a stubborn person who would feel uneasy if he couldn't keep his promises to others. Facing these people, Liu Qiang said in a stern voice: "No matter what, all of this will have to wait until Brother Tang returns. If you insist on taking things from inside, then you'll have to get past me first."

  Liu Qiang's level is higher than these people, and he has learned the basic knife skills of the first grade. His moves are a bit better than these people, so in his heart, he is not very afraid. If it comes to a hard fight, he won't be able to win, but saving his life should not be a problem.

  "You really won't let us pass?", Zhang Kun's face immediately turned gloomy as he looked at Liu Qiang who was determined to block their way.

  "So much nonsense, if you want to get into the house through the back door and take food, you must go through me." Liu Qiang said firmly.

  Zhang Kun narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy tone, "Liu Qiang, you'd better think carefully about this. Do you know what the consequences will be if you block our way? And don't you care about the harm your actions might bring to your family, especially that beautiful daughter of yours who's already grown up? Hmph..."

  When Liu Qiang heard that Zhang Kun actually used his family to threaten him, his eyes turned red in an instant. He rushed towards Zhang Kun and shouted loudly: "If you dare to touch a single hair of my family members, I'll fight you to the death."

  "That's only if you have the life to play with me, brothers. Liu Qiang won't give up, he wants to cut off our path of survival. Charge! Knock down Liu Qiang and divide the grain among us. United we stand, and we're not afraid of that little brat Tang Tian coming back." With a sinister tone, Zhang Kun threw a sentence at Liu Qiang, then turned around and loudly addressed the villagers behind him.

  He led the charge towards Liu Qiang after finishing speaking.

  With someone taking the lead, the people behind immediately rushed towards the small building in a flurry, as if they were afraid that the grain inside would be snatched away if they came late.

  Liu Qiang was just one person, although his strength was slightly stronger than those people, but it wasn't strong enough to make a difference. Facing the charge of dozens of people, Liu Qiang only parried a few times before being overwhelmed by the crowd.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

  In no time, the closed door was broken through by the angry crowd. They rushed into the house and headed straight for the opponent's food cellar underground. Their goal was simply food.

  However, some people had different goals, such as Zhang Kun. While others were rushing to grab food, he led a group of over ten people upstairs, where Zhao Yu'er and several other girls were.

  "Big sister Moon, big sister Zhang Yu, they've rushed in, what to do? Mom, will Dad be okay? I can't see him anymore", at this time Liu Xin was so anxious that she started crying.

  Liu Xin's mother hugged her in her arms, although she was also worried in her heart, but still comforted: "Xin Xin, don't be afraid, Dad is fine, your brother Tang will come back soon, we will be fine."

  Bang!!!

  Just then, the door of the room was kicked open from outside and Zhang Kun had already arrived with someone.

  Looking at the panicked people inside the house, Zhang Kun's eyes flashed with a few sparks of heat, and he said gloomily: "Now whoever comes will not be able to save you, hehehe..."
