Chapter 013 Captured

Shihang Town.

This is the town that the Tianyun encountered on the road. It was not in the original plan or on the map.

But judging from its architectural appearance, it was definitely built by humans, but it is not a steel building, but made of yellow mud and stone.

There are houses, streets, walls, vegetable gardens, wells, and other basic buildings that humans should have. It looks more like a base rebuilt after a war.

Just two kilometers away from Shihang Town, a group of 500 soldiers from the Zhulong District stood in neat rows on the back of the wasteland.

On the barren slope, Captain Fang Yan put down his binoculars and waved behind him , " Let's go."

With a whoosh, a four-wheeled Rhino-style off-road motorcycle came speeding out, carrying two people.

One is the driver Li Mo, and the other is Luo Xiu who is dressed as a jungle hunter.

"I didn't expect the leader to give us a reconnaissance mission. This is really too easy."

Li Mo was extremely excited about this solo mission. He stepped on the accelerator and the off-road motorcycle moved forward at a faster speed.

Luo Xiu, who was sitting in the back, recalled this mission.

Find out whether this town is populated by human forces, whether there are other related forces, and whether there are other forces nearby.

"There are 500 soldiers coming this time. It seems a little too few. They seem to be doing something sneaky?"

Luo Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if these 500 people would never go back.

As they were about to reach Shihan Town, Li Mo immediately stopped the car, and Luo Xiu looked up at the sentry post on the wall.

The field of vision changed, and the scene opposite shrank into a circle and suddenly appeared in Luo Xiu's eyes.

In the sentry post made of yellow earth, two soldiers with spears in their hands were looking at them curiously.

Suddenly they saw a motorcycle coming, and they were so scared that they quickly beat gongs and drums and shouted in panic , " The robbers are coming, the robbers are coming."

The sound shook the whole area, and the originally lifeless town suddenly came alive. Hundreds of townspeople holding spears crawled out of the earth, came to the city wall, and glared at Luo Xiu and the other man.

One of the strong men roared:

"Listen, you bandits! We in Shihang Town will never surrender to you."

"If you want to take our town, you have to walk over our dead bodies."

Luo Xiu and Li Mo looked at each other.

Li Mo joked , " These people are actually using spears as weapons. What era is this? I feel like I can take them down by myself."

"Let's wait and see. It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully." Luo Xiu shrugged, agreeing quite a bit, but also feeling a lot more relaxed.

Li Mo nodded, then shouted to the city wall , " We are not robbers, we are ... "

Li Mo paused, thinking that since he was here to investigate, he couldn't reveal his identity, so he changed his words midway and said:

"We are mercenaries passing through, and we want to come and buy some food."

"Pah." Even after explaining the reason, the big man on the tower still cursed:

"You still want to trick us. Last time you used this trick to trick us into opening the door, entering our town, and killing our people."

"Since you're here, don't leave."

I saw the other party suddenly jump down from the city wall which was more than ten meters high and fall to the ground like a falling rock.

Boom! The ground cracked and the sturdy man jumped up from the sunken pit again and ran straight towards Luo Xiu and others.

Luo Xiu and Li Mo looked at each other in horror.

If an ordinary person jumped from such a high ground, he would have been smashed into a pulp, but the person in front of him was completely intact.

You think you are Captain Fang Yan.

Seeing the other party rushing towards him at a very fast speed, Li Mo immediately raised his pistol and pointed it at him, "Don't move, or I will shoot."

However, the other party didn't listen at all and stabbed at Li Mo with an iron spear, vowing to pierce him and Luo Xiu into candied haws.

"Then don't blame me." Li Mo was furious. Since warning the other party was ineffective, he would not be merciful.

Aim at the target and pull the trigger.

When the bullet traveled across a distance of more than ten meters and was about to hit the big man's head, an iron spear was instantly swung up and bounced the bullet back.

Li Mo was shocked again and fired repeatedly, but each time his shots were accurately deflected.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy had already arrived. Li Mo shouted , " Luo Xiu, save me."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Xiu put his hands around Li Mo's waist and leaped into the air.

He narrowly avoided the stab of the iron spear.

However, the opponent was faster. He leaped into the air and punched Li Mo in the chest.

He screamed and flew out like a cannonball, hitting Luo Fei from behind, causing both of them to fall to the ground together.

When Luo Fei wanted to stand up, a sharp iron spear appeared in front of him. The big man in coarse cloth with scars all over his muscles sneered and said , " Hurry up and surrender, or I will kill you."

The two were captured and taken to Shihan Town, where they were stripped of all their equipment, chained up with iron chains, and locked in a cell converted from a civilian house.

"Li Mo, Li Mo, are you okay?" Luo Xiu turned over and sat up, moving to his side to check the situation.

"Cough cough ... " Li Mo spat out a mouthful of blood and sat up with difficulty. There was an obvious dent on his chest, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.

"I feel like I'm really going to fail this time." Li Mo managed to say a few words before fainting.

With such serious injuries, if Li Mo doesn't receive prompt treatment, there is a high possibility that he won't survive the night.

Through the metal bars of the cell door, Luo Xiu shouted to the two guards standing on the street:

"My companion is dying, please come and save him."

Two guards in coarse cloth looked sideways, and the one on the left sneered:

"It's just the death of a robber. How big of a deal can that be?"

Right side said , " Don't worry, when our old judgment document comes down, you will go to hell with him."

"We are not robbers." Luo Xiu reiterated his identity again, but the two guards in front of him did not believe it at all. They turned away and ignored him.

In the center of Shihan Town, in the largest villa.

The burly man with scars all over his body pushed open the door and strode in. In front of him was a stone table, behind which sat a hunchbacked old man, who was leaning over the table and sketching something with an old brush.

"Father, I just caught two bandits. The lesson they received last time may not be enough. They actually sent people to pretend to be mercenaries to spy on intelligence. How stupid."

The sturdy man came to the stone table and drank the bowl of water heroically.

The disturbed old man looked up, stroked his goatee thoughtfully.

Said , " Chi Er, no matter how stupid that bandit is, he wouldn't send people here twice. You must be mistaken. They might really be mercenaries."

"Are they really mercenaries?" The sturdy man named Chi Er touched his head awkwardly, "Then should I release them now?"

“No need.” The old man waved his hand. “They are just two mercenaries. If they die, they die. In this world, they are not good people.”

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Chi Er breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered and said:

"But I have already severely injured one of them. He will probably die tonight. I will just kill the other one now to save myself the trouble."

After saying that, he rushed out of the villa again.

The old man smiled indulgently and leaned over the table again to deal with business.

Just then, two militiamen brought a pile of equipment and placed it in front of the old man.

"Patriarch, this is the equipment of those two bandits. What should we do with it?"

The old man raised his brush and pointed it at the corner of the wall. "Just pile it there. Whoever makes a great contribution to Shihan Town in the future will have the equipment."

After the two militiamen put their equipment away, they prepared to leave.

Perhaps he was tired from writing, the old man stretched himself, glanced at the equipment, and immediately widened his eyes.

"Zhulong District's ceramic armor? Zhulong District soldiers?"

"Not good." The old man shouted, "Quick, go and stop Chi Er, they can't be killed, they are not robbers."

The two militiamen were startled and rushed out in a hurry.

In the cell.

Luo Xiu frowned and looked around. There were mud walls on three sides of him, and there were bloodstains in the corners.

In front of us is the street, and the sun's rays fall on it, making it look like a silver-white avenue.

"Cough cough ... " Li Mo spat out another mouthful of blood, and his strength weakened a little.

It's about to fail.

Just then, the big man from before came over with a spear and stood in front of the metal railing.

He grinned , " Damn bandits, have you repented for your actions?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't repent. I will let you repent in hell now."

Luo Xiu straightened his back, "We are not robbers, we are ... "

"Maybe you are really wandering mercenaries." Chi Er interrupted him, "But so what? Those who can come here are just bastards who can't survive anywhere else, so I don't feel any burden in killing you."

"We are not mercenaries." Luo Xiu said coldly , " We are soldiers from the Zhulong District. Our main force is outside. If you kill us, our troops will also make you pay."

"Even if you have the strength of a heavily armored warrior, you are no more than an ant in front of our war weapons."

Facing Luo Xiu's verbal threat, Chi Er suddenly laughed:

"The strength of a heavy-armored warrior? You underestimate me. My father said that I am now at the level of a quasi-knight and will soon become a knight. I am many times stronger than a heavy-armored warrior."

"No matter how many of you there are or how well-equipped you are, I can beat you all down by myself."

"And you said you were a soldier from the Zhulong District? Humph, what a joke. It is said that every soldier from the Zhulong District has the strength of a knight. How could they be beaten down by me?"

"Because the rumors are nonsense." Luo Xiu rolled his eyes.

The cell door was opened, and Chi Er walked in with a spear, raised it, and pointed it at Luo Xiu's chest.

Luo Xiu looked at him calmly, but felt a little regretful in his heart, "I didn't expect that he would die like this. It's true that plans are not as fast as accidents. I hope that I can live in a peaceful era next time."

Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs being struck outside, and the shouts of the militiamen , " The robbers are coming, the robbers are coming again."

"What?" Chi Er was startled and turned around and rushed out.

Not long after he left, two militiamen came running over breathlessly and gave orders to the cell guards:

"Quick, let them out, the elder wants to see them."

The guards did not dare to delay and hurriedly sent Luo Xiu and Li Mo to the villa in the small town.

Soon he met with the elder who was in power in Shihang Town.

The patriarch looked Luo Xiu up and down and asked anxiously , " Are you really soldiers from the Zhulong District?"

"Absolutely genuine." Luo Xiu took a look at his age and suddenly realized.

Humans have been fighting against aliens for almost 30 years. Generally speaking, young people have only heard of the soldiers of the Zhulong District, but do not have a clear concept of what they are.

So now, only older people are in awe of the soldiers in Zhulong District.

"Our troops are outside and can come over at any time, but I want to confirm whether you are disguised bandits." Luo Xiu said.

This startled the family elder, "Your main force is coming?"

He originally wanted to show a look of joy on his face, but when he saw that Li Mo was being held up and his life or death was unknown, his expression suddenly became complicated.

"This is a misunderstanding. Please believe me, Chi Er didn't mean it." The elder quickly explained.

"You can explain to our commander. Now give me the equipment back. I want to contact our troops." Luo Xiu said quickly.

Li Mo's body has become extremely weak and he must be sent back to the warship for treatment as soon as possible.

Just outside the city walls.

A convoy stopped not far away, and dozens of armed soldiers jumped out of the vehicles. Without any declaration or announcement, they rushed towards the city wall.

They charged and fired at the same time, spraying all their bullets.

The militiamen on the city wall quickly hid, but those who were slow to move were still hit and fell from the city wall, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

"Damn robber."

The furious Chi Er jumped off the city wall again and ran straight towards the group of bandits in front of him.

All the bullets were fired at him, but he waved the spear in his hand into a circle, deflecting all the bullets.

In a blink of an eye, they rushed into the group of bandits, stabbing or sweeping them, and the bandits immediately flew up like scarecrows.

Then, he rushed to the front of the vehicles like lightning, lifted the chassis of the vehicles with his right hand, and several vehicles were actually blown away.

All the robbers were stunned.

"The devil, it's the devil."

No one expected that they would encounter such a monster and they immediately wanted to retreat.

The vehicles that were still able to move turned around and left.

At this moment, a group of foot soldiers appeared in the distance. They surrounded the bandits in a scattered manner and poured powerful firepower on them at the same time.

As bullets flew, many robbers fell and dense holes appeared on the vehicle.

Chi Er was also within the shooting range, and the spear in his hand quickly shattered under the concentrated firepower.

With his bare hands, he rushed behind the vehicle, lifted the vehicle above his head with both hands, and threw it towards the soldiers of Zhulong District.

The trapped soldier cried out in surprise and quickly ran away.

Just as the vehicle was falling to the ground, a figure suddenly appeared, and with a push of his hands, he actually stopped the falling vehicle and prevented it from rolling again when it hit the ground.

The soldiers exclaimed again, "Wow, Commander, you are amazing."

It was Captain Fang Yan who appeared. He said in surprise , " I didn't expect there would be such a powerful genetic warrior among the bandits."

"Hey, where did you get the genetic medicine?"

As he said this, he also threw the vehicle over.

Chi Er did not take it. He ran behind another car to avoid the bullet fire.

He shouted angrily , " I was raised by wild beasts. I would never take any genetic medicine."

"If you have the guts, throw away the gun and let's fight one on one."

Fang Yan's mouth twitched, "Gene medicine is injected, not taken orally."

He took out a squid-style anti-tank gun from his back. It was a rocket launcher with a thick magazine containing twelve shells in total. It could cause huge damage to the enemy in a short period of time.

He aimed at the vehicle where Chi Er was hiding, and a squid-shaped shell flew out of the barrel, easily shattering the vehicle's armor and penetrating into it, causing an explosion.

With a loud bang, flames enveloped the surroundings, and the shock wave instantly pushed away all the nearby bandits.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chi Er turned around and was about to leave, but he still could not avoid the spread of the shock wave.

Also flew far away.

But he was very strong and just spat out a mouthful of blood and ran towards the town.

"Hurry up and chase him. Don't let him hurt the townspeople inside."

Captain Fang Yan was shocked and quickly led his troops towards the town, ignoring even the fleeing bandits.

Rushing through the gate, Fang Yan saw the surrounding townspeople pointing spears at them.

Fang Yan quickly said , " Wait, we are soldiers from Zhulong District, and we are here to protect you. Your mayor has surrendered to us, no, he has agreed to surrender."

"Don't listen to them, they are in league with the robbers. Look, I've been beaten up."

Everyone looked back and saw Chi'er, who had escaped, half lying on the ground, wiping the blood that kept flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand.

At this time, Luo Xiu appeared in time with the family elders.

Said , " Captain, he is from the town, and this is the mayor."

After introducing the patriarch to them, Luo Xiu immediately took Li Mo towards the warship.

The battleship is not too close to here, and it takes more than half an hour to ride a motorcycle back and forth.

On the road, he happened to see some fleeing bandits, but Luo Xiu had no interest in using them to gain merit, so he just passed them by.

The bandits didn't want to fight and hurried back to their own camp.

A huge bomb crater.

There were hundreds of tanks parked inside, including a tank that had survived before the war.

The remaining dozens of bandits came to the tank and cried , " Captain, we encountered soldiers from the Zhulong District and we were ambushed by them."

The hatch of the tank opened, and a tall soldier emerged from the hatch, revealing half of his body, with a serious expression on his face:

"This place is hundreds of miles away from the Zhulong District. How could they appear here? Are you not lying?"

"No, no, really not." The robbers shook their heads quickly.

This tall warrior was none other than Wei Yu. The appearance of the warriors from the Zhulong District made him frown.

Worried, he asked some more questions , " What kind of vehicles are they riding? Are there mechas?"

The robbers quickly reported , " There are no mechas or vehicles. They are just walking here."

"On foot?" This puzzled Wei Yu. "Could they also be the lucky ones who accidentally obtained the weapons base?"

The reason why he was so sure was because Wei Yu's luck was so good.

After leaving the town of Lisuo, he obtained a large amount of supplies, and then used force to annex other bandit groups to expand his own numbers. He also accidentally obtained a museum base, a tank, and a large amount of supplies.

"No vehicles? That doesn't make sense. It must be another bandit group that accidentally obtained the equipment from the Zhulong District."

Wei Yu never believed that people from the Zhulong District would come to this deep wilderness.

He said , " They must be fake. Without their vehicles, they are just targets for us."

"All hands, attack. We will annihilate them all and find out the existence of that base."

As Wei Yu shouted, cheers came from hundreds of bandits in hundreds of armed vehicles.

"Destroy them. Destroy them."

Wei Yu raised the corner of his mouth, touched his chin with his right hand, and thought , " The battlefield cannot be placed in the town. What if the supplies are burned? We must lure them out."
