章 272: The sighting
Hearing the tall man's words, George was surprised, the other party actually wanted to turn the people of Hilltop into their slaves?
At this moment, the sound of a branch snapping was heard behind the two of them.
"We've got people behind us!"
They were about to instinctively draw their guns and fire when they heard a very familiar voice behind them.
"It's me!"
"Jesus?" George looked at this long-haired man and asked, "Why are you out?"
The person who had quietly approached them was Jesus, who had left Hilltop not long ago. At this point, he looked in the direction of their shelter and asked hurriedly, "I was on my way to the Kingdom but I got a tip, what are all those people doing outside Hilltop, why are they surrounding the gate?"
Bon looked at George beside him, hesitant whether to tell what they had discovered.
"Tell me!"
Seeing that the expressions on both of their faces weren't quite right, Jesus looked a little impatient, grabbed George's arm and shouted softly, "What's going on?"
"Uh... Jesus, you need to calm down, we just got here too, but according to what we just heard, those people want to turn the people of Hilltop into slaves."
"How, those fucking bastards..."
Jesus wanted to hurry up and try to help his people, but was forcibly taken by the two people next to him.
"Calm down! Do you really want to die instead of helping your people? We don't even know where these people come from, we don't know their numbers let alone basic things, being someone impulsive now won't bring any benefit."
George analyzed the situation calmly. After a while, he understood that his side was out of the dark, because the people in Hilltop and the Kingdom did not know where they were stationed. Since the other side said this was the first place they found, it meant it was still time, so they shouldn't make a mistake.
Jesus was not an impulsive person in the first place, and he became more sober after hearing these words, settled his heavy thoughts, and then asked in a deep voice. "So what can we do now?"
George thought for a moment with a serious expression before speaking.
"We must first see...!"
Bang! Bang!
But before he finished speaking, he heard two gunshots from the Hilltop gate. The three of them turned their heads and looked. George even grabbed the binoculars and put on the headphones. The arrogant voice spoke incessantly.
"You people just can't recognize reality. I said you are slaves, so you must see yourselves as slaves. Otherwise, you'll end up like these two guys, understand? Hahahaha."
Although Jesus didn't have binoculars, he could see that the other party had shot and killed two people. His eyes immediately widened and his body began to shake uncontrollably with resentment. It wasn't out of fear, but out of anger!
Bob tugged at Jesus' clothes with worry, fearing that the other party would jump on impulse, and not only would they be exposed, but it was very likely that the other party would kill them or capture them as slaves since there were not many people on their side.
But Jesus wasn't impulsive, he just patted Bob's arm to indicate he was okay and continued after he let go.
"We can't be here. Gregory can't keep a single secret. He will speak to them about the Kingdom. We have to go to the Kingdom right now! Talk about these things with them." Jesus said calmly at the situation.
After regaining his clarity, he immediately realized that the other party would definitely press them for information about other forces nearby, and the word "loyalty" did not exist in the dictionary of that old man who seemed to be the leader.
Gregory at this point was acting as Jesus had thought, while the two shots from these people had killed two of his own, it had also pierced his fragile authority.
"Sir, allow me to introduce myself. I am the person in charge here. Seeing that they had fired without us coming to an agreement, I have very important information that I think would be of use to you. If this information is very important, could I join your group?"
The tall man looked coldly at Gregory and thought about it for a few moments, but as the seconds passed those fierce eyes made Gregory's legs go a little weak, and as he felt he was about to pee his pants, the corners of the tall man's mouth began to lift slightly. His expression quickly became much gentler, and he patted Gregory behind him, almost breaking his old body bones.
The tall man near Gregory bowed slightly. Their heads were close together. Following the other's breathing, Gregory smelled a strong bad breath, but didn't dare mention it, looking at this man with a smile.
"What's your name?"
"Gregory, sir!"
"Gregory, a shitty name. But hey, you can call me Simon."
Seeing the other party report his name, Gregory secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that now half the work for a living was complete, and the rest would depend on whether the information was enough to exchange for the other half.
Simon didn't care how fearful Gregory was. He didn't know what the old man was thinking, he just asked with interest, "We'll listen to the very important information you know, I'll consider letting you join us depending on that."
Gregory's eyes roamed over the Hilltop residents, then he held out his hand and gestured for him to come closer, indicating to Simon that they would talk about this to the side.
The two walked to the side and saw that the others could no longer hear him. After speaking, Gregory pointed in a direction and said, "Mr. Simon, in that direction you can still find a community called the Kingdom, just go down and go down the road. There are cattle, their strength is not much from what I understand, and the leader has an abnormal mind as I have heard.Are you satisfied with that information?"
Simon's expression gradually changed from excitement at first to indifference. He looked at the old man in front of him with some disappointment and made a few sounds in his mouth.
"Gregory, Gregory, I am very optimistic with you, but the news really disappoints me, I thought you might surprise me a little."
Hearing this, Gregory's face turned pale. He had not expected that the other party would not be interested at all in this news. Could it be that they were not short of people?
His doubts didn't last long, and soon he heard Simon say in his ear, "You have disappointed me, we already knew what you said, so if you have no more good news, you can just go with them."
Looking in the direction where Simon was pointed, Gregory could only see the corpses of the men who had been killed. His face was turning green and his head was shaking. He quickly turned his head and looked at Simon and continued, "No, I also have information about an organization, there are at least dozens of those people."
Simon, who became interested again, looked at the old man with great interest, waiting for his next words.
"It's like this... Some time ago they came to Hilltop, they offered us protection in exchange for our serving them. Obviously I turned them down, but surprisingly we continued to trade resources with them. They are very mysterious and never say where they come from, but I know they probably come from that direction."
Simon's face was very bad, he felt offended, this old man wanted to trade him with information about a settlement whose location was not even certain, he simply considered him a fool.
"Are you kidding?"
Seeing Simon, who was already showing a bit of murderous intent, the old man's heart was pounding, his mind turned sharply and he suddenly remembered something and quickly blurted it out.
"I have other news!"
