Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Inside Peeling Town.

"Hiss...it hurts a little."

"Just the pain, let you show off." The woman applied the good medicine and slapped A Liang's thigh that had just been bandaged - the skinner boss, grimacing again in pain.

Seeing this, the proprietress couldn't help but smile and turned around to recruit customers in the store.

Ah Liang half-leaned behind the counter and exhaled.

When the insect wave broke out, he was also one of the guards at the top of the city to resist the invasion.

To be honest, the area he was responsible for was not the most intense part of the battle.

But some injuries are inevitable.

Moreover, this wave of insects, although fierce, has been dealt with quite smoothly.

The boss looked towards his lobby.

In an inconspicuous corner, I saw a few people in ordinary clothes sitting by the stove, eating happily around a steaming pot.

Among them, a little girl named Shaq was especially popular.

Some of the other guests had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, but she was still unfinished.

This time I can eat enough.

Ah Liang's eyes fell on the young man beside her.

Who would have thought…

The person who came to his store was their new deputy leader.

Traveling north, Mr. Lu.

Regarding the appointment of a new deputy leader - A Liang was also surprised when he learned the news.

The other person is just an outsider who has just arrived in town.

There is no such precedent in the history of the Skinned Man.

However, among gangs.

The change of position depends on the wishes, likes and dislikes of Big Gray.

more importantly……

A Liang nodded slightly.

Including everyone, they all agreed that this is what the other party deserves.

They helped hunt down the insect mother, saved the skeleton man Soto, and even avenged the blood revenge of the previous deputy leader... Thinking about it carefully, the skinned people didn't know how to respond to this friendship without losing their loyalty.

Mr. Gray is still smart and discerning.

This hand was appointed.

Not only did he repay the favor, but he also brought the Skinners such a young leader with excellent character and strength at a critical juncture when they faced challenges...

Earn it.

The only thing that made Ah Liang feel a little emotional was.

The first time he entertained them, he was just an ordinary traveler.

But just a few days have passed... this time, the other party has become the deputy leader of everyone.

Fortunately, the several interactions we had were still very harmonious, and we were not restricted by the change in status.

Just like this time, the other party and his group didn't put on any airs.

But...the boss has already conceived it.

In the future, we will put up signs in the town.

Let’s just say, the deputy leader agreed to eat it——

Seto put down the bowl and chopsticks, and after cleaning the fine meat on the bones, he was satisfied.

She reached for the straight knife placed on the table and handed a piece of tissue paper to her side: "Wipe it."

"Oh," Seto wiped his hands honestly, "Teacher, you have mysophobia..."

"No, it's because the hands are stained with oil..." Lu Meng said casually, "It might make the knife unsteady." "

The Nameless One is really vigilant and never relaxes at all times... The little princess's eyes shone with an expression of being taught something.

Lu Meng chuckled in his heart.

Somehow, it feels like he used to tease Xiao Huo.

The greenery on the other side never spoke.

He just silently hid his paws behind his back and wiped them quietly.

As for Ah Quan, there was no special reaction.

He had been observing Mr. Lu's movements before and had washed his hands in a similar way.

"excuse me."

Behind the few people, a magnetic voice came.

"Mr. Skeleton Man!" Seto spotted him and greeted him.

Soto leaned forward and nodded, drawing an arc on the "mouth" with his finger, as if he was smiling.

He turned to the other side: "Deputy leader."

"Soto is here," Lu Meng said, "Want something to eat?"

"..." The skeleton man looked at the soft pieces of meat in the pot, then looked down at his metal shelf: "Next time."

Everyone chuckled.

"Getting back to the topic," Lu Meng stopped smiling, "Is the old man ready?"

——Flayed Man, a team participating in the Shark Village Guild.

Soto showed the special saber on his waist: "Everyone has gathered outside the city."

"This alliance will all follow your orders!"

After the insect wave ended, the Skinners were freed from the tense defense and were able to mobilize more manpower to participate in the alliance and compete with other swamp factions.

This was another reason why Lu Meng wanted to help them repel the insect wave first.

And there was a deal between him and Big Gray.

The old man's original intention was to make him his successor, to guard and manage the town on his behalf, and to run the entire Skinner Gang.

However, Lu Meng knew.

I won't stay here forever.

The skinned people's affairs can only be resolved by themselves.

In exchange, Lu Meng will represent them in Shark Village as the new deputy leader of the Skinners, thereby participating in the entire process of the alliance.

During this period, I am fully responsible for all decisions made, and I have a lot of cards in my hand.

Behind the scenes, he is still the "traitor" of Shizhen - of course, the rest of the people will enter Shark Village openly and legitimately as members of the Skinner Gang.

It's okay to discuss how to deal with yourself.

In this regard, it played into Big Gray's hands.

In his original thinking, Asha was unable to lead the Skinners to compete with other factions in the alliance.

In order to seek stability, one can only compromise in exchange for their support.

This is a last resort.

But now, Lu Beiyou is here.

Everything is variable.

At the same time, with the addition of more allies, the Skinner's momentum will become even greater.

In the alliance field.

Even if they face the Hound Gang, they may not be unable to compete.

Even if he lost to Da Gelin in the end.

The Skinner also showed his strength and was able to maintain his position without being overly suppressed and liquidated afterwards.

Dignity is earned by oneself.

It can be said that everyone gets what he needs.

Of course, it must be based on the old man’s true thoughts.

It's better to leave the skinner to the other party entirely and retire and go fishing...

Lu Meng nodded and stood up:

"Bill, please."

…

…

The center of the swamp.

Shark Village.

The lake surface is sparkling, and all the buildings here are built on this large swamp. The tall pillars are inserted into the water, and it looks bottomless.

It is said that drunk gang members often come out of the "Dancing Skeleton Man" and accidentally fall into the water and drown. When they are fished out the next day, they have been eaten into bones by the snakehead fish in the swamp.

Start with the establishment of Shark Village.

There are layers of bones buried under its feet.

Bamboo plank roads are built in the sky, extending in all directions, connecting various buildings and residences in Shark Village. The roads echo the ancient knotted trees that block the sky.

The capable members of the Hound Gang, wearing yellow fur coats and three-cornered hats, ran past on the plank road from time to time, looking extremely busy.

The sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of the sword on his waist.

Other gang members who were invited to join the alliance opened the door and looked at it curiously - but when they saw the hound gang's fang symbol, their expressions immediately changed, and they retracted their heads and closed the doors and windows to avoid misunderstanding.

Iles stood on the high platform.

The height here is second only to the faction headquarters 'Iron Dome', but it can already overlook the entire Shark Village.

As he witnessed all this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

The law of the jungle is the background of the swamp.

Even during the alliance, fighting and friction among various gangs cannot be completely eliminated.

Sometimes, people who have long-standing grievances will take this opportunity to resolve all past conflicts.

However, there is an unspeakable consensus that they are clear about.

No matter what, don't mess with the giants in the swamp.

Especially the Hound Gang.

Iles once experimented.

Just before a vendetta broke out between the two small gangs, he asked an ordinary bartender, put on the yellow leather uniform of the Hound Gang, to walk between them.

The two sides immediately stopped moving and just looked at each other nervously across the open space, not daring to have the slightest objection.

It was like two rapids that were about to collide and were cut off.

And what cut them off was just a coat with canine teeth tattooed on it.

Such power.

This is something that none of the forces that have come to participate in the alliance can do.

Afterwards, the two families were almost mortal enemies and joined the Hound Gang at the same time.

"Your Excellency Ils," a bee prince wearing leather armor walked onto the high platform, "What a beautiful scenery."

His thick lips opened and closed.

I don’t know whether he is talking about the beautiful scenery of Shark Village or the power of the Hound Gang.

"Big Black Eyebrow," Ilse held onto the railing, "The black converter has been pretty good recently."

The first step of the alliance has been completed.

The large and small forces in the swamp gathered in Shark Village. Everyone formed gangs and basically found their own backers, even if they were on the same side.

Among them, the Hound Gang is naturally everyone's first choice.

If you want to hug thick legs, you have to be this overlord.

However, what surprised Iers a little was that there were more forces joining the Twin Blades and the Black Converters than he had imagined.

Especially the newly rising Red Sword Group, their strength is close to that of the traditional giants.

But in terms of industry and reputation accumulation, it still lacks foundation.

Hearing that the Red Swordsman also wanted to join the alliance, Iers immediately sent someone to recruit him, but was clearly rejected.

It is conceivable that the other party has already found allies.

Ils opened her mouth just to test.

"It's not bad," the big black eyebrow laughed, "The casino has indeed made a lot of open coins recently... I can't even count them."

Shark Village was originally the most prosperous center of the swamp.

During the alliance, countless gang members came, plus some people of all kinds who were qualified to be invited... They stayed here, except for fighting and killing, and there were no other entertainment activities. They could only go to Black Transformation Have fun in various gold-selling caves controlled by those who control it——

This allowed the bees to make a lot of money.

It's just that... the big black eyebrows were raised at this moment, of course not to show off, but to avoid the important and take the easy.

Of course Iles understands.

He snorted coldly and didn't bother.

On the surface, the two families are allies, but secretly they have their own agendas, which is normal.

As long as it doesn't affect the final plan, there's no need to make it so clear.

And the real opponent of the Hound Gang... is still the Skinner Gang who, to this day, has not come to join the alliance.

The skinned people are limited by the insect tide and do not participate much in the struggle for hegemony. Their influence in the swamp is limited.

However, it was also tempered by the insect tide.

The discipline, organization, and combat effectiveness of the Skinned people are so strong that they are almost not like a gang, but like a real army... This is because even among the Hound Gang, there are only a small number of people who have been following Big Green. Only with an elite core can we guarantee this.

Fortunately, Ilse knew.

The other side is not as united as it seems on the surface.

Moreover, he had already learned the news in advance: the person who led the Skinners to participate in the alliance this time was not the still powerful veteran Big Gray, but only their second-in-command, a deputy commander.

Ils also knew something about that man.

It is said that his name is Asha.

With some minor fame, he might be considered a qualified leader among ordinary gangs.

But to represent a giant like the Skinner and compete with their hound gang...

was all Ilse could say.

If the former Big Gray comes in person, they will still respect him.

But now...the other party can only control it.

It seems that the once-all-powerful Skinner is a bit out of line in terms of successor; on the other hand, the leader of her family is in her prime and is a living legend.

The distance between these former rivals has grown further and further.

Iles felt more and more.

This alliance is a good time sent by God.

If the opponent misses the opportunity to take over Shark Village, they are destined to become mediocre and return to their rightful position.

And their dominance of the Hound Gang became more and more stable, until they reached the top and became king.

Even, to some extent.

Ilse felt that she wanted to thank those 'traitors', those invading 'swamp ninjas', and the mysterious 'shadow man' who came back...

Without them, this would not have been so smooth.

As a result, Ilse's mood became brighter and brighter. Even looking at the thick lips of the bee with big black eyebrows, she felt a lot more pleasing to the eye——

"Tsk."

When he heard what the other party just said about the casino, he suddenly thought of something:

"Da Gelin... she also lost a lot, right?"

Yes, during the time when Iles was running the Host Association.

Their leader still hasn't shown up.

The many subordinates who were lying at the feet of the Hound Gang only felt that she was too cold and aloof, which made her even more coercive, and they did not dare to have the slightest objection.

Only Ils knows... Big Green is a gambler by nature, but her gambling skills are extremely poor.

Being immersed in bars and casinos all day long, those outsiders who have never seen her before may never imagine that the woman sitting next to them might be the leader of the Hound Gang...

But the opponent is a slick dealer like Black Converter, so losing money is a normal thing.

However, she didn't seem to care.

Just enjoy the process.

Put everything you have on your destiny.

Iles even doubted it.

The reason why Da Gelin allowed the black converts to enter the Shared Shark Village was because of their experience in opening casinos.

"Don't worry," Da Heimei said: "We will repay the money we earned from her in full afterwards..."

The bee man had a smile on his face, but his heart was not relaxed at all.

He knew that he had deceived Da Gelin in the gambling game. This was just because of mutual consent and that the other party was looking for fun.

But Da Heimei doesn't think so.

He could really fool her.

Whenever he had no choice but to come into contact with that woman, Bee Man always had a feeling:

There wasn't a human being standing in front of him - it was just a intact skin.

What's really inside...

Probably some shady beast.

In comparison, it was more reassuring for her to stay in the casino.

As for Iles, he nodded and thought it was a good thing.

——Now there is no need to worry about the loss of funds in the gang.
