Though everyone felt an instinctive flicker of fear, no one panicked.
Chen Luo was about to act, but to his surprise, Fang Yu stepped directly in front of him, shielding him with his body.
Seeing Fang Yu move, Yang Xuan, Xu Lan, and the others quickly used their bodies to shield Chen Luo, Mi Li, and the others seated together.
This was the perfect chance to prove their loyalty.
Thanks for handing us this opportunity, buddy.
Fang Yu and the others had worked for a professional security company before the apocalypse and had served in the military. They knew Wang Guofu's gun was real, but it held six rounds at most.
With so many ability users on their side, any one of their attacks could take Wang Guofu out. He would be lucky to fire even one shot.
Chen Luo smiled. I don't need it, but I like the attitude.
Fang Yu said gravely, "Buddy, that gun of yours can kill one person at most. Look how many of us there are. If you pull that trigger, you're dead."
"Take my advice and put the gun down. I can pretend none of this happened."
Chen Luo shot him a glance. You might be able to pretend nothing happened, but the rest of us can't.
Wang Guofu sneered. "Sure, I can't kill this many people. But whoever moves gets shot. Anyone feeling brave can trade their life for mine."
Back when Wang Guofu was a small-time thug, he had been through plenty of situations like this. What good were numbers if you were ruthless enough?
Wang Guofu pointed at Mi Li. "Yeah, you. Bring me two bowls of braised pork. Refuse, and I'll shoot you dead."
All this-pulling a gun and taking a hostage-just for a bowl of meat.
