"Don't say anything yet." The station leader slightly waved his hand, indicating to the big bearded man not to be afraid.
Then, the station leader put on what he thought was his most amiable smile and said to the leading burly man, "Brothers, you've come to our place, for?"
"Are you the leader of this base?" The burly man chuckled as he looked at the station leader, "You don't look like it, cut the nonsense, get your leader out here, I have something to discuss with him."
In the burly man's eyes, the amiable station leader seemed a bit too weak, not like the leader of a post-apocalyptic base.
So he thought the leader was someone else.
The station leader didn't realize his goodwill was seen as weakness. Moreover, considering the nearly hundred strong men from the opposite side, how could he act tough?
The small station had several elderly, and along with "Crippled Zhang," there were just over twenty strong men, including only about a dozen fighters.
