Chapter 017 : Lure Operation

The five men arrived at the convoy, just in time to see the bandits guarding it, pointing and talking cheerfully.

He was not worried at all about his companions being killed. Instead, he laughed out loud as if he was watching a play.

The deaths of those companions completely attracted the attention of the guards, and no one cared about Luo Xiu and others at all.

As everyone was traveling among many convoys, they naturally had to ride in a vehicle with higher defenses to prevent being ambushed again.

At this moment, a disguised Zhulong District soldier suddenly took a quick look and discovered something incredible.

He whispered to everyone , " Look, it's a tank."

Everyone stopped and looked, and saw a heavy tank lying in the middle of the convoy, like a moon surrounded by stars.

It is equipped with a gun barrel and a secondary machine gun, and is also covered with heavy armor, making it look like a killing weapon.

Although the tank is now half-relegated to the museum, its majestic appearance is still hard to conceal.

The soldier who first discovered it immediately ran up and tried to board the tank.

As long as they have it, they won’t have to be afraid of even snakes, angry clouded leopards or others.

When he was about to get close, two bandit guards suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

They shouted , " Get out of here, this is the captain's car."

The soldiers in the Zhulong district naturally ignored them and continued to move forward. The guard saw this and thought, oh, they are not listening.

He immediately raised the submachine gun in his hand and suddenly shot at him.

Gunshots rang out suddenly, and the soldiers in the Zhulong District burst into blood. They looked at them in disbelief, "You actually opened fire."

The white-haired man's eyes suddenly turned red with anger. Just as he was about to step forward, two slight gunshots were heard behind him, and the two robbers were shot through the head on the spot.

Looking at his comrades who died with their eyes open, Luo Xiu sighed slightly.

If he had not walked so fast, or paused for a moment, his life would not have been lost in vain.

This is a den of bandits. We are not part of the team, so no one will reason with us.

"Carry him on your back and take him away." The white-haired man wiped his tears and asked his men to carry the body of their comrade in front of them.

At this time, a soldier from the Zhulong District boarded the tank armor. Suddenly, the hatch opened and a tall figure suddenly appeared behind the soldier from the Zhulong District.

Before the Zhulong District soldier could react, he was lifted into the air.

The white-haired man was shocked again and quickly raised his gun and pointed it at the guy who appeared.

"Damn bandit, he's actually wearing our comrade's armor, put him down quickly."

With the help of the moonlight, Luo Xiu saw the identity of the person coming. He raised the sniper rifle in his hand and pointed it at him, shouting:

"Wei Yu, you were once a warrior in the Zhulong District, why do you always pick on us?"

"Huh?" Wei Yu poked his head out from behind the Zhulong District warriors and looked at Luo Xiu in confusion.

"Your voice sounds familiar, who are you?"

Luo Xiu pulled down the cloth on his face, revealing his own face, but the other party still looked confused.

At this time, Luo Xiu remembered that the two sides were quite far apart last time, so it was normal that he didn't see him.

So Luo Xiu said , " I am Luo Xiu. We met in Lisuo Town. I saw you kill Mayor Lisuo and Doctor Molan."

"Although I am grateful that you didn't drive our car away, but you are openly opposing our Zhulong District. You will only end up dead. Hurry and let go of my companions and surrender."

Luo Xiu spoke so domineeringly that even Wei Yu in front of him was shocked.

He opened his eyes wide , " What, you are really soldiers from the Zhulong District?"

"Of course, it's real." The white-haired warrior was even more incredulous. "You are also a warrior from the Zhulong District. Why don't you return to the team? Why are you against us?"

"Wei Yu, right? I'll remember you. Even if you return to the military, I will make you pay the price."

Wei Yu raised his lips into a cruel arc and said with a smile:

"What a pity! I could have let you go, but since you're going to continue to go against me in the future, forget about leaving today."

The white-haired warrior remained firm, "We don't want to leave like this either. We must kill you, the traitor."

Luo Xiu on the side wanted to have a good chat with him, and then ask him to send him and others away and return to a safe place first.

But the white-haired warrior had already spoken, so Luo Xiu couldn't say anything.

In one word: do it.

The white-haired soldier and others raised their guns at the same time, but Wei Yu's body was blocked by his own comrades, making everyone hesitant to use their weapons.

After trying several times and failing to pose a threat to Wei Yu, the white-haired warrior could not help but shout angrily , " Put him down, and I will leave your body intact."

How could Wei Yu agree to such conditions? He is not stupid.

He laughed and challenged:

"Shoot if you have the guts. You don't have much time left. My people will react quickly. Once we surround you, you won't be able to escape."

"Hurry up and shoot. With so many of you, you can easily shoot through his body and kill me."

"I am the leader of the bandit group. Once I die, these bandits will fall apart and will no longer pose a threat to Shihan Town."

Seeing that several people were interested, Wei Yu raised his lips again, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and act. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to have it again."

"This is a rare opportunity. The sooner we shoot, the sooner we'll be done."

Under the silvery moonlight, there was a noisy sound in the distance, and the roar of wild beasts was getting closer and closer.

The bandits were getting closer and closer to the convoy. The guards around had heard the noise and were running towards this side. The sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard by everyone.

It seemed very noisy outside, but everyone could clearly hear the sound of their own hearts.

This is a difficult decision for everyone.

Killing your own companions can save more of them. If you don't shoot, you and your companions won't be able to escape.

Just as he was hesitating whether to sacrifice himself, the soldier whose neck was held felt the difficulty of his teammates. He opened his mouth with difficulty and uttered hoarsely:

"Don't worry about me, shoot, kill, kill him."

The white-haired warrior, with tears in his eyes, knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he suppressed his voice and said , " Brother, have a safe journey."

At this time, Luo Xiu said again:

"Stop, Wei Yu is a fighter. Even if you shoot, he can dodge in time. Let's go quickly and come back to rescue him next time."

"What?" The white-haired warrior was shocked again, and then he looked at Wei Yu's attire.

The old ceramic armor looked like it hadn't been replaced in more than ten years and was covered with cracks.

The small combat shields on his left and right arms make people look solemn.

It looks like it's only as wide as a palm, half a meter long, and has serrated edges.

But in the hands of agile fighters, it is a deadly weapon and a shield to block bullets, allowing them to move around the battlefield like a fish in water.

If the opponent is really a fighter, it may not be possible to kill him instantly.

After thinking for a second, he stamped his feet angrily, "Brother, we will come to rescue you later."

Now that both roads are blocked, the white-haired warrior can only leave in pain.

He turned around and headed for another armored vehicle.

Luo Xiu followed closely behind, but before he could run any further, Wei Yu called him.

"Wait." He threw the man in his hand and he flew up like a toy.

Luo Xiu quickly caught his comrade, helped him up, and looked at Wei Yu in confusion.

Wei Yu raised his chin proudly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not letting you go, but I'm asking you to talk to your commander. I'm going to take over Shihang Town, and you have one day to leave Shihang Town."

Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes and sneered , " Even if you take over Shihang Town, can you stop the Tianyun battleship in the sky?"

Wei Yu's face was grim, and he said , " That's not necessarily true. We can give it a try."

Other bandits had already appeared around, so Luo Xiu did not stay and left quickly.

It was obvious that the other party let him off again.

Getting into the armored vehicle, the white-haired soldier looked at his comrades returning with joy.

"Let's go." He stepped on the accelerator and the armored vehicle flew out immediately.

Luo Xiu looked through the observation port behind him and saw that Wei Yu had already entered the tank. The gun barrel, which was as thick as a head, moved quickly, pointing into the distance, and then a loud bang was heard.

A beam of light flew out instantly and landed right beside the Snake-haired Fire Clouded Leopard.

The fire and shock wave of the explosion blew it away on the spot, causing it to fall on the edge of the cliff.

At the critical moment, it hooked its claws on the protruding rocks at the edge and avoided the danger of falling.

But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, another shell landed in front of it.

The rock collapsed and it fell into the valley along with large pieces of rubble.

At this point, the robbers' crisis was finally resolved, and everyone cheered in victory again.

Zang Mi finds Wei Yu and reports the current situation to him.

"Captain, the lurker has disappeared, and the enemy we captured is also missing."

"We fell into his trap and he rescued all his companions."

“It’s really abominable.”

Compared to Zangmi's anger, Wei Yu was worried. He frowned and said in a deep voice , " We have to leave here quickly."

"Yes, revenge on them ... eh? Leave?" Zangmi looked confused, "Why?"

Wei Yu said worriedly , " They are real Zhulong District warriors."

"So what?" Zangmi seemed very excited. "They caused us so much loss, so they should pay the price."

"But they came on a warship." Wei Yu said quietly.

Zangmi was still shouting , " Then blow up their warships ... "

Suddenly he realized what was happening and asked in confusion , " Battleship? Space battleship?"

After receiving Wei Yu's affirmation, he screamed in shock:

"Then hurry up and leave. We can't stay here any longer, or we will be the ones to be wiped out in the end."

On the mountain road.

An armored vehicle hurried down the mountain, and two beams of light cut through the darkness, showing them the way.

No one in the group spoke, and they were all worried about the pursuers behind them. However, until the chariot came to the foot of the hill, there was no trace of the pursuers.

Since no one was chasing him, the white-haired warrior rushed towards Shihang Town.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Luo Xiu returned to Shihang Town.

The white-haired warrior did not go to rest, but found Captain Fang Yan in the central villa to report:

"Captain, that bandit group still has more than 60 chariots and hundreds of personnel. Their leader is called Wei Yu, and he used to be a warrior in our Zhulong District."

"By the way, four bandits tried to sneak into our team wearing our armor."

Captain Fang Yan had just gotten up and was putting on his armor while listening to a report.

He frowned when he heard that. He had thought that the last time he used the minefield to blow up most of the enemy's armored vehicles, he had already done serious damage to the enemy.

But I didn't expect that the other side had so many people and equipment.

"Don't worry about those lurkers. Those without the password have been caught."

Captain Fang Yan paced back and forth for a while and said:

"But the situation with the bandits is more serious. We must completely eliminate them. Otherwise ... I won't be able to rest assured about what will happen next."

He spoke the last sentence so softly that the white-haired warrior could not hear it clearly for a moment.

"Captain, what did you say?"

Team leader Fang Yan waved his hand to stop him from speaking, his brows furrowed even more, as if he had thought of something.

"I heard from the elders that there is a canyon in the west where there is a venomous scorpion. If we can lead those bandits there, we might be able to inflict heavy damage on them."

"Venom Scorpion?" The white-haired warrior checked the information of Venom Scorpion on his personal terminal and instantly took a breath of cold air.

"This is a D+ class tank-class wild beast. We don't have any heavy weapons."

"It also has long-range shooting capabilities. We have lured the bandits in, so how do we get out?"

Captain Fang Yan sat down on the bed and said in a deep voice , " Since you can't come out, then don't come out."

The white-haired warrior was so frightened that he sat on the ground. He opened his mouth several times before spitting out the words that were in his throat, "Want to, want to fight to the death?"

"Yes." Fang Yan nodded solemnly and said something that stunned him even more, "I'll go too."

Early morning.

Shihang Town Street.

All the warriors in the Zhulong District stood in neat rows in the sun, their long slanted shadows also neatly arranged.

They all looked forward. Captain Fang Yan, wearing heavy armor, stood at the front of the team and shouted:

“I am about to carry out a very difficult mission. This mission is a life-or-death mission, and it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, so I hope you can volunteer to participate.

And this mission will determine the lives of all of you."

Fang Yan looked at the sun in the sky and felt that it was about time.

Then he shouted , " Those who are willing to follow me, go ahead."

Fang Yan walked through the crowd and came to the city gate. He turned around and saw that everyone had followed him.

This touched him, but it was obviously inappropriate to have so many people come. They only needed a small-scale action to lure them.

He wiped away his tears, turned around and choked up , " Everyone, there's no need to see me off. Let's all go back."

This means they are not allowed to go?

Everyone looked at each other, and Fang Yan said:

"The remaining people need to guard Shihan Town to prevent the bandits from taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Everyone then suddenly realized what was going on. Finally, Fang Yan personally called out the names of a few people, and everyone gave up.

Including Fang Yan, there were eight people in total. They set off in the captured armed vehicles.

Just as the armored vehicle was about to leave, a figure suddenly jumped onto the roof.

Luo Xiu, who was sitting on the roof of the car, took a look and saw that it was Chi Er wearing ceramic armor.

This fellow who possesses the strength of a quasi-knight is also equivalent to having the strength of a quasi-tank level.

According to the current strength classification, his strength is between E+ and D-.

Perhaps his individual strength would not be of much use when facing an army, but he would have a clear advantage in squad combat.

"Why are you here? And you're wearing ceramic armor?" Luo Xiu was surprised at his recovery ability.

His internal organs were injured by the shock wave before. Given the medical conditions in Shihang Town, Luo Xiu thought he would need at least half a month to recuperate.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he was full of energy again.

"Go aside, I'm here to find Captain Fang Yan."

To him, everyone else is just a nobody, and only Captain Fang Yan is worthy of talking to him.

However, Luo Xiu still reached out to stop him and warned him , " This is the army, not Shihan Town. You need to report."

Chi Er's eyes instantly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice , " Get out of the way. If you deny it, I will twist your head off."

Luo Xiu refused to back down from his threats. "If you have this attitude, I cannot let you meet with Captain Fang Yan. Since you want to join the Zhulong District's troops, you must have military discipline."

"I don't understand what discipline is." The long confrontation made Chi Er completely mad.

"But I know that I can crush a guy like you with one hand."

He raised his right hand and clenched it tightly beside Luo Xiu. The sound of bones shifting could be clearly heard.

However, Luo Xiu still refused to give in. He pulled the bolt of the sniper rifle in his hand and shouted again , " Soldier, please report first."

"You are such a busybody, bastard."

He raised his fist to attack, and Luo Xiu pointed his gun at him as well.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, the other party's eyes twitched, and Luo Xiu also frowned.

At such a close distance, Luo Xiu was no match for him at all. Unless he drove a motorcycle alone and adopted kite tactics, he would have a chance to stalemate with the opponent.

Although they are not opponents, the military discipline must not be broken by an outsider.

Luo Xiu also has his own persistence in this regard.

At the critical moment, Captain Fang Yan emerged from the cabin door.

Seeing the two men confronting each other, he immediately shouted , " What are you doing? We are carrying out a life-threatening mission, and you still want to bully us?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiu put down the gun in his hand. Chi Er waved his fist proudly at Luo Xiu as if he had won.

Chi Er looked at Fang Yan with a smile and called him cordially , " Captain."

"Wait, why are you here?"

"My father asked me to come and help you. He said I have something you can use."

"Then come in."

At the invitation of Captain Fang Yan, Chi Er glanced at Luo Xiu proudly and jumped into the chariot.

The white-haired soldier sitting next to the machine gun said, seeing that the situation had calmed down:

"Why are you stopping him? Just let him go. Didn't you see that the captain treated him well?"

Luo Xiu shrugged. "If I hadn't stopped him and let him go straight in, do you think the captain would have scolded us to death?"

The other party was speechless for a moment, and finally decided to turn a blind eye and look at the scenery in the distance.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in his field of vision, and a huge wild beast was walking towards them.

"Look, look, it's that one, the Snake Fiery Clouded Leopard."

Luo Xiu looked quickly and saw a scarred snake-like clouded leopard limping towards the front of the canyon.

Through the long-sight sight, Luo Xiu clearly saw that its two hind legs were broken and its body was covered with criss-crossing scars.

A fire snake emerged from the wounds on his chest and abdomen.

Half of the snake hair on its head was drooping listlessly at this moment. Compared with before, its amount was at least two-thirds less.

Luo Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said , " It's in a semi-crippled state right now. We just need to go around it."
