Chapter 649 Siege of the Serpent Gang
Just as Reed thought, Johnny was the first to respond to him after he presented two directions.
"Of course, it's to beat those Reptile bastards hard." Johnny slammed his right fist into his left palm. "I don't want to have any relationship with those villains other than as enemies. I'd rather be killed than listen to them."
Johnny's words resonated with everyone present. Those who could gather here were all people who didn't buy into the Serpent Gang's ways; otherwise, someone would have surrendered when Rock Python attacked earlier.
So Johnny's words can be said to have spoken to the hearts of everyone, but even if they looked down on the Serpent Gang, they wouldn't easily start a full-scale battle with them.
After all, once a full-scale battle starts, it means there's no room for maneuver. If they win, it's fine, but if they lose, then they might all be lost in that battle.
Now they can at least choose tactical detours, shoot and change aspect, although this is both frustrating and trouble, it is at least safety and will not cause too many casualties.
Avoiding head-on confrontation is not shameful, and it is very useful.
However, Johnny's words did shake many people's thoughts, and Reed could see that it was now just one step away from the final moment.
"I know what you are worried about." Reed tapped the blueprint and once again attracted everyone's gaze. "But now is indeed the best opportunity to destroy the Serpent Gang. If we miss today, we may never encounter such a good opportunity again."
"How do you know this is our best opportunity?" Tyrone asked. "What if this is just an act put on by the Serpent Gang? The purpose is to make us think they are weak, and when we want to beat a dog in the water, they have already set up an ambush, waiting for us to jump in."
"It's not impossible." Reed nodded, not directly denying Tyrone's words, which surprised the latter because he had never encountered such a way of arguing on the street.
In his awareness, arguments, generally both sides of the argument would deny the other party at the first moment to avoid being caught weakness, Reed like this he still encountered for the first time.
"Indeed, just like Tyrone said, this may be a trap, but I think this possibility is infinitely close to zero." Reed reached out and pointed to the map with the Serpent Gang hideout marked on it.
"We all know that the resources in Old New York where we live now are limited, and now our scope of activities is also restricted, and resources have changed from limited to scarce."
"In this situation, I don't think the Serpent Gang would waste their hard-earned resources and excellent hideout for a group of superhuman whose strength is unknown. This waste is not something any hideout in the ruins can bear."
Reed refuted Tyrone's words with reason and evidence, and the latter was speechless and could only silently retreat.
"Now, according to the news Johnny brought back, we know that the Serpent Gang's younger brother and those civilians have been dispersed, which means the Serpent Gang has no hostage, saving us a lot of trouble."
"In addition, about three leaders have been seriously injured and unable to fight. We also have an advantage in manpower. As long as we cooperate properly, we might be able to take down the Serpent Gang easily."
Reed said this and patted Johnny's shoulder, and continued in the other's puzzlement gaze: "You know we have a character who can set fire."
Yes, everyone's eyes lit up. If flame is used in proper coordination with the environment, it is indeed a powerful weapon that can influence the situation, and if the flame is strong enough, even if the other party has firefighting equipment, it will not be easy to extinguish.
Now that there are no ordinary people in the Serpent Gang's hideout, setting fire is indeed a good idea. In addition, Johnny can control the flame that is released, and can extinguish it at any time. This method is indeed a rare good method.
"Then what are we waiting for!" Johnny looked impatient. "Let's make a quick decision! The longer we drag it out, the more unfavorable it will be for us."
Reed shook his head with a smile, and held down the impatient Johnny and said, "Let's start the second vote now. Please raise your hand if you agree with this plan."
After a moment of silence, everyone raised their hands one after another. Some people who were originally hesitant also raised their hands under the influence of herd mentality, which is actually a kind of subtle coercion.
The reason Reed wanted to conduct a second vote was because of this. He still played a little trick after all.
In the end, everyone was persuaded. After Reed nodded in satisfaction, he announced the dismissal and let everyone go to prepare. Saying it was preparation, in fact, they didn't have any weapon to check, it was just going down to make some psychological preparation.
After all, they are about to face a big battle next. Although they are all superhuman and have experienced some battles in the wasteland, it is still the first time they have encountered such a large-scale melee of more than a dozen superhuman gathered together.
Although Reed's words were flowery, everyone knew that theory is theory after all, and there must be a gap in practice, and maybe someone will be injured or death because of this.
But, if they hide like before, it's just chronic death. Why not seize this opportunity to gamble, maybe they can get a happy outcome.
In the end, everyone actually had such a crazy idea in their hearts, but Reed just pushed them from behind.
…
Memory ended, Yang Le used less than a second of time to go through the cause and effect of Reed and others attacking the Serpent Gang. He now understood why Reed was so bold. It turned out that he had seized the opportunity brought by his own mistake.
I have to say, Reed's plan this time is indeed no problem. Seizing the opportunity when the enemy is weak and destroying them in one go, if it were Yang Le, he would also choose to do so.
Unfortunately, they are not facing the ordinary Serpent Gang like in Main Universe 616. If it were the Serpent Gang of the Main Universe, with their configuration, even some first-tier villains could be directly taken down.
But now they are facing the Serpent Gang blessed by the Old God Set. This Serpent Gang can be said to be the strongest Serpent Gang in the Multiverse, and it already has the strength to compete with first-tier villains.
Especially King Cobra who is holding the Seven-Headed Snake Scepter, his strength could not be seen through even when Yang Le was still Martian Manhunter. I don't know what kind of power Set gave him, in short, it is very difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Yang Le just weakened the power of Set God. Without the blessing of Set God, Reed should be able to handle the severely damaged Serpent Gang now.
Hmm, should be possible, maybe?
Feeling a little unsure in his heart, although he could directly know the future outcome, Yang Le still manipulated Alien X and floated towards the Serpent Gang territory.
