Han Ben and Bai Dongxin wanted to beg for mercy, but after Zhu Xiong and Zhang Dahai received the orders, they led the two separately to the front and back of the convoy. Any extra word would mean a knife to the throat.
Zhu Xiong coordinated with Ye Kailing while Gan Xinglei followed Zhang Dahai. They formed pairs and began interrogating.
Su Han waited on the spot for less than 15 minutes before Zhu Xiong and Zhang Dahai came back one after the other to report the situation to him.
"Spilled the beans just like that."
Zhu Xiong approached Su Han. Su Han was not surprised by this outcome; they were only ordinary people, and not many could keep their mouths shut when faced with a prisoner's dilemma.

Zhang Dahai also said, "That skinny guy was almost the same, told everything he knew."
Su Han nodded and said, "Old Zhu, you go first. If there's anything inconsistent, Old Zhang will point it out."
"The tall one is Han Ben, the short and skinny one is Bai Dongxin. They were out to look for supplies and survivors. There was supposed to be another one, Zhao Jun, but he went back to report."
As he organized the information extracted from the interrogation, he slowly said, "Their group gathers at Bucks Gym. There are 29 people in total, 25 men and 4 women. Most of them were originally trainers and clients of Bucks Gym. The leader is Nie Rilong, the gym owner. Their Angel Envoy is a creature called Blood Bone Lizard, strength unknown."
After Zhu Xiong finished, Zhang Dahai added, "The information is almost the same. According to Bai Dongxin, the Angel Envoy originally mutated from a green-maned lizard that Nie Rilong had in his office. He got lucky during the mutation and killed the "Contract" with a dumbbell. Although its strength is unclear, Bai Dongxin has seen it flip over cars."
Su Han's gaze flickered slightly. With so many people in South City, it was normal for some to have great talent and luck, but irritating them was unfortunate.
"How many times have they done this kind of thing?"
Zhu Xiong sneered, "Never did before, they said it was a misunderstanding, wanting to pull us into their camp."
Zhang Dahai grinned and said, "That's bad luck, that kid's timid, claimed he only did it once, never killed anyone, but I don't believe it."
While Bai Dongxin was not as brave as Han Ben, initially claiming he had never done it, once Zhang Dahai stabbed a knife into his hand, he immediately cried out that it was just once.
Even so, Zhang Dahai did not believe it.
How could they be so skilled if it was just once? Claiming to search for supplies, but clearly, they were looking for survivors. They incidentally heard the commotion from Happiness Community's battle and stealthily approached.
"Bucks Gym, right?"
Su Han's eyes grew colder as he looked at Zhu Xiong and said, "Old Zhu, you drive the first car and lead the way to Bucks Gym."
"What about them?"
Zhu Xiong pointed toward the two men, bound by vines in mid-air. Su Han said calmly, "Kill one, keep the other."
Han Ben and Bai Dongxin's faces drastically changed, but in the next moment, the vines had already gagged their mouths, leaving them unable to beg for mercy.
Seeing Tan Xin so compliant, Nie Rilong's face revealed a satisfied smile, and his hand moved unreservedly.
"Just stick with me, you're not like them, don't worry."
He grinned suddenly, his eyes holding a hint of ill intent, "Join us tonight."
Tan Xin stiffened, then immediately nodded, "As you say."
Seeing Tan Xin's demeanor, Nie Rilong laughed heartily as he headed to the first floor, followed closely by the Blood Bone Lizard, a massive creature three meters in length.
There were four female survivors in the gym, one of whom belonged to Nie Rilong, while the remaining three were for the group.
This was Nie Rilong's method. In this apocalyptic world, money had lost its value; what controlled people apart from food was typically desire.
Whether it was the three women or the looted resources, they were all kept on the second floor.
The plan was to act as a team, those involved in exploration, looting, or doing anything beneficial for the team would get more food and resources allocated.
Food or resources served two purposes: one for eating and the other naturally for trading for certain things, like doing something venting with the three women.
The more they did, the more resources they acquired, and naturally, the more they could do.
Those who disobeyed or performed poorly would receive less of the resources, or even have their food for the day withheld.
The methods were simple and brutal, but in such an end-of-the-world scenario, they were unusually effective.
If initially the survivors here obeyed him only out of fear of his forcefulness, then as more people entered the second floor's room and indulged, the more people willingly obeyed him.
Even so, some in the team wanted to snatch a few women during their searches.
However, Nie Rilong vetoed the idea.
He wanted control of the team. With sufficient resources, he needed to ensure he could command the team, rather than just play with women.
But now, it seemed, if they snatched this batch of resources, the team could indeed expand.
"Boss"
Nie Rilong had reached the first floor; the people had already gathered, over twenty muscular, tall men standing in the hall.
"You all know, right?"
Nie Rilong scanned the crowd, saw everyone nod, and then spoke, "The goods in two trucks, after we grab them, we can change locations, expand our numbers. At that time, what you guys want won't be out of reach."
The men's eyes lit up, and the atmosphere surged with excitement. Seeing his goal achieved, Nie Rilong said, "Wang Dong, Li Xu, you two stay back. Everyone else, out the door and into the cars. Follow me and chase after them."
