Chapter 159 Offer from Channing Town
Ryan looked at Timothy. “I can’t let this go. I want to go kill them!”

Timothy’s face darkened. He pressed Ryan’s head down. “We don’t even know the situation in Flintwood Town, and you want to go kill people? More like you’ll be the one getting killed.”
That felt like a bucket of cold water dumped right on Ryan’s head.
Just a moment ago, he had been fired up and full of fiery justice. Now all that energy was gone.
“I guess you’re right. They even have a level 3 psychic ability user.”
Ryan calmed down instantly.
Timothy ignored him and looked at Steven. “We’ll think about Flintwood Town. But if that’s the only payment you’re offering for this deal, then we aren’t interested.”
“What?”
Steven froze for a moment, then quickly said, “But you’re all such strong ability users! Taking down Flintwood Town wouldn’t be a bad thing for you.”
“It wouldn’t be bad for you.”
Timothy glanced at him and said calmly, “You want to use our strength to wipe out Flintwood Town. And all you’re offering is help pulling up a truck. Do you think many people would accept that kind of deal?”
Steven looked embarrassed, his face turning red, then pale, and then he forced a laugh. “You can ask for other rewards too. As long as it’s something within our ability. Our town has crops, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. We can give you half of everything we have.”
Ryan was stunned listening to this.
Damn.
He felt like an idiot for getting all worked up.
This guy was just trying to use them as free hired muscle!
His face soured, and he snorted coldly. “You think we’d care about your stuff?”
Steven gave a bitter smile. “But this is truly the best we can offer. It’s all we have.”
The young man beside him chimed in, “If Flintwood Town is wiped out, survivors passing

through won’t have to worry anymore. It’s a good deed. They say saving one life brings great virtue, right? What you’re doing isn’t just for Channing Town–it’s for everyone.”
“What the hell?”
Ryan exploded, glaring at the guy. “Are you trying to guilt–trip us?”
Matthew’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Ryan, thinking, Finally, your brain caught up.
“How is that guilt–tripping? It shouldn’t even be hard for you guys to kill those people in Flintwood Town. You’re so strong. You could take them all out with one move. And we already said we’d give you a reward…”
The young man bit his lip and looked at Steven, his eyes red. “If they don’t want to help, forget it. We won’t force them. It’s the apocalypse anyway. Sooner or later, we’ll all die. Getting eaten by zombies or killed by Flintwood Town, what’s the difference?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Steven snapped, shoving the guy behind him. “Stop saying such depressing things!”
He turned back to Timothy and sighed. “Mr. Shaw, the supplies are the most sincere offer we can make. If you’re not willing, we won’t force you…”
“Colton, go call the strong young men in the town. Have them come help Mr. Shaw and the others pull their truck back up.”
“Wait!”
Timothy stopped him and said to Steven, “We’ll figure out the truck ourselves. We don’t need your help.”
Seeing him refuse, Steven’s face darkened. He gave Timothy a long look before saying, “Alright. I won’t disturb you while you wait for your teammates to return. But Channing Town will always welcome you if you want to stay for a while.”
“Okay,” Timothy answered casually.
Steven turned and signaled Colton Channing to follow. They got into the car and drove away.
Timothy watched their backs as they left, feeling that something was off. His brows slowly tightened.
Ryan cursed and asked, “Timothy, do you think those people will come back?”
Timothy thought for a moment. “That Steven guy felt really off to me. The way he talked sounded like he was sure we’d eventually go to their place.”

Colton looked at Steven in confusion. “Are we really just letting this go? That truck must have at least ten tons of supplies. Even if we only got one–third of it, our people could hold on a bit longer.”
“Exactly!” another young man added. “Those people are obviously strong, but they refuse to help deal with Flintwood Town. They’ve got no conscience.”
