Just then, the sound of clapping came from behind the haystack. Chang Wei narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the group of people who slowly emerged from behind the haystack.
This group numbered in the dozens, each wielding a powerful AK47 rifle. The black barrels of the rifles seemed to speak volumes about the weapon's formidable power.
This weapon is extremely popular in the world today, and its power and accuracy far exceed those weapons that Chang Wei previously found in the police station and armory.
This gun is considered the best in the world, with a magazine that is fully loaded with up to thirty rounds of ammunition. Its rate of fire is astonishing, reaching six hundred rounds per minute, and its range is as far as three hundred meters.
In addition, each of them had two dark black grenades hanging from their waists and a sharp dagger tucked into their legs. Their faces were cold and their eyes were piercing as they stared directly at Chang Wei and the others.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the air. In comparison, even Chang Wei felt that they were as different as militiamen and special forces.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat. Although he was slightly balding, he had a wide smile on his face, like a smiling tiger. He was accompanied by three people, two men and one woman.
One of the men was in his early thirties, while the other was a young man wearing a baseball cap and appearing somewhat cynical.
The woman looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a face as cold as ice.
The three men stood close to the bald, middle-aged man, their eyes fixed on Chang Wei, their expressions revealing undisguised shock.
"Young man, your skills are extraordinary. I am Shen Hai, and I would like to befriend you. What do you say?"
The bald, middle-aged man spoke with a friendly smile, but he never left the three bodyguard-like attendants, always maintaining a certain distance from Chang Wei and the others.
"Who exactly are you people?" Before Chang Wei could speak, Ada Wong stepped forward and stood behind him, watching the group warily.
Chang Wei was not angry; he also wanted to find out the background of these people.
Their equipment was so sophisticated that they seemed to be highly trained elites. Taking this opportunity, he carefully observed the people opposite him.
After some investigation, Chang Wei was shocked to discover that two of the three men were no ordinary individuals. The middle-aged man was a strength-type evolved being, at level five;
The young man is a special evolved being with the ability to shield his senses, and his level is also a level four demon.
The reason I failed to detect their presence earlier was probably because this young man was shielding his senses.
If it weren't for my final move that startled them and accidentally revealed some of my presence, I probably still wouldn't have been able to find their trail.
As for the woman, she was a magic-type evolver, also at level five.
She could unleash celestial ice balls, the exact opposite of Chang Wei's ability, making them mutually restraining. The middle-aged man, seemingly ordinary, had become the core of the three evolved beings, which puzzled Chang Wei greatly.
He knew that even among those of similar levels, the strength of each person varied greatly, and although he was a level five evolver, he was confident that he could defeat an ordinary level six evolver.
261. Moral blackmail? Robbery?
The man did not get angry at Chang Wei's silence; instead, he smiled amiably.
He calmly explained, “We come from a nearby base, and we’ve all come together to find a way to survive in this apocalypse.”
Then, he changed the subject, asking probingly:
"I see that you are quite capable, young man, and your men are also elite troops. May I ask where you are from?"
The three evolved beings also looked at Chang Wei with great curiosity.
They had just witnessed Chang Wei's fire attack and were deeply shocked.
Although they were all evolved beings, they could sense that Chang Wei's aura was similar to theirs, but his terrifying attack power was something they could not match.
They understood that if Chang Wei wanted to kill them, they would be wiped out in a single round of fire.
Therefore, they were eager to find out who this mysterious and powerful Changwei really was.
Ada Wong, Chang Wei's companion, is also a smart person.
He understood that he couldn't easily reveal the location of the base, especially when facing such a well-equipped and powerful team.
So he replied casually, "We also come from a small 777 base nearby. We're all united for survival."
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the man's eyes, as if he was quite satisfied with Ada Wong's answer.
He laughed heartily:
"Haha, we're all just trying to survive in this apocalypse. So why don't we join hands and work together to resist the threats from the outside world?"
"We are all survivors, each with our own abilities to fight the crisis. Why don't we join hands to protect more lives and make this land full of vitality and hope?"
Survival is not just about ourselves; enabling more people to live is our responsibility and a manifestation of the light of humanity.
The man's words were passionate and impassioned, always considering the greater good, which made Chang Wei and the others feel insignificant and ashamed of their past selfish behavior.
Seeing this, Chang Wei stepped forward before Ada Wong could speak and said with a smile, "Great! Why don't we go to your base together to find out? Perhaps we can find an opportunity to cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Sato and the others immediately understood and smiled.
They understood that Chang Wei was turning the tables and taking the initiative.
However, upon hearing Chang Wei's suggestion, the man's expression changed slightly, and he replied somewhat awkwardly, "Oh dear, our base is indeed quite far, and it might not be suitable in terms of time. How about you take us to your place first? Let us see your capabilities."
As he spoke, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and several evolved beings around him stepped forward slightly to protect him behind them.
Upon seeing this, Sato and the others immediately became alert and stepped forward, pointing their guns at the other party.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, but Chang Wei smiled slightly to ease the tension: "Since everyone has their own difficulties, let's all go back. As for the cooperation, we can discuss it another time."
Hai Daoyou seemed relieved, fearing Chang Wei might change his mind, and quickly agreed, "Great idea!" Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Chang Wei and asked:
"By the way, young man, may I ask your name?"
“Chang Wei,” Chang Wei replied.
"Brother Changwei, look at this granary, there are over ten thousand catties of grain. Our people over there are also lacking food and clothing, many are skin and bones from hunger. Could we discuss sharing some of the grain with them?"
Island You earnestly requested, "How about this, we'll share half of our food with you, okay?"
Hai Daoyou wore a bitter smile, his expression quite sorrowful.
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhang Zhen roared angrily:
"Half the grain? Aren't you being far too greedy? We worked so hard to collect this grain, and you want to take half of it without doing anything? We're already short of it ourselves!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Zhang Zhen's words.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain cannot be taken away casually.
Even robbery takes some effort.
Although Chang Wei is young, he has experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse and is no longer the innocent and passionate boy he once was.
Seeing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Hai Daoyou's eyes, but he still tried his best to remain calm:
“Brother Changwei, can you really bear to watch our ordinary people starve to death? They are also living, breathing human beings. We cannot be so inhumane and lack a sense of the bigger picture.”
His words were filled with endless sorrow, and a tear even welled up in the corner of his eye. However, Chang Wei found such a performance utterly disgusting.
His stomach churned, and he fought back the urge to vomit.
Chang Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down:
“I would rather go hungry myself than watch ordinary people die. But that doesn’t mean we should unconditionally give you food. The world has changed, and we must learn to protect ourselves and our people.”
Although his voice was calm, his words revealed a firm determination.
He knew that no matter how the other party acted or begged, he could not easily give in. Because it concerned the life and death of the entire team.
I'm sorry, but the grain here already belongs to us. Please find another source.
Chang Wei responded expressionlessly, unmoved by the other party's arrogance.
"Hmph, Brother Hai kindly shared half of his food with you, yet you are so ungrateful!"
At this moment, the young man next to Hai Daoyou looked arrogant, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Chang Wei's attitude, and his usual domineering nature was on full display.
"I'm warning you, we're taking all the food here. If you know what's good for you, get out of here now, or my bullets won't have eyes!"
Before Chang Wei could even speak, Sato, Ada Wong, and Zhang Zhen were already enraged and activated their skills instantly. The people behind them also darkened their expressions and raised their guns, pointing them directly at the other party.
With just a single command from Chang Wei, the enemy could be riddled with bullets in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Hai Daoyou and the others' expressions changed, and they all raised their guns to confront each other.
Despite being aimed at by numerous AK47s, Chang Wei remained calm, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if capable of swallowing everything.
"presumptuous!"
Hai Daoyou's face darkened. Feeling Chang Wei's unfathomable gaze, he suddenly turned around and slapped the young man hard across the face, leaving a bright red handprint.

"We are human beings, not robbers!"
"Since they're in trouble, we should lend a helping hand, not force them," Hai Daoyou said sternly, looking at the young man. "Remember, everyone has difficult times! If we're in trouble, we should find our own solutions!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chang Wei, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, having spent so much time in the apocalypse, his kindness and sense of justice had not been completely extinguished.
He apologized with a hint of remorse:
"I am truly sorry, my discipline was clearly not strict enough, and I apologize for what you have seen. Please allow me to convey his apologies to you."
Chang Wei, on the other hand, looked on as if he were watching a show, as if none of this concerned him.
He looked at the other person apologizing to him, smiled slightly, but his lips curled into a cold expression.
