Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A group of people who traveling together but without any intention of interaction, hurriedly crossed the bridge and then dispersed just as quickly.
Luo Bing led the group into a building a few dozen meters from the bridge.
“We need to wait here for Xiao Xiao…” she explained to Zhao Yu.
“Understood!”
Zhao Yu comprehended; after all, Han Xiao Xiao had gone to lure away monsters and would need some time to return.
Taking this opportunity to rest, he turned and quietly ordered his soldiers to
eat and rest.
Luo Bing and the others also took out their food to eat.
Only the burly second-tier enhancer felt embarrassed, cleaning his face with a bottle of water and washing his hands before starting to eat.
After waiting for about half an hour, Han Xiao Xiao returned, and the team set
off again.
This time, LUO Bing and the others were visibly excited, as they had now reached the fourth ring. Advancing one more ring would mean the completion of their fast mission.
“Do you have other tasks on this trip?”
“Of course!”
Luo Bing smiled, “We’re not a team that only operates in the old city…’
Zhao Yu didn’t ask further about their mission, but he guessed that they might
be searching the old city for something to satisfy some noble’s whim.
A task typical of the nobles of Black Rock City.
The term ‘noble’ seemed odd, but the others were already accustomed to it.
In the years following the apocalypse, social classes had been redefined, and
the gap between the rich and poor had become extreme far apart.
The poor struggled for daily sustenance, while the rich engaged in frivolous activities indicative of luxury.
Though living on the same earth, the two groups existed in different worlds.
Upon reaching the fourth ring, where the activity of different species increased, the team’s progress slowed down.
Han Xiao Xiao, often left the group to draw away these creatures away.
When encountering creatures that couldn’t be lured away, Luo Bing and the others would take action to neutralize the threat.
Three hours later, the group finally arrived at the outer third ring. Crossing a high overpass would lead them to their destination.
“One last rest…”
After the long journey, Luo Bing and the others were visibly fatigued.
In contrast, Zhao Yu’s twenty soldiers showed little change.
This was the advantage of robot soldiers: with timely food and minimal sleep, they could maintain their combat effectiveness at any time and place.
This naturally amazed Luo Bing and the others.
Once again, it seemed that Zhao Yu might hold a position in a major group, as
his manner of speaking became increasingly polite.
The rest period this time was longer, lasting one and a half hours, during which Zhao Yu even allowed his soldiers to take a short nap.
“It’s about time, we can set off now!”
Luo Bing glanced at the condition of the overpass and began to formulate a
new plan.
After a while, she had her plan ready, and Han Xiao Xiao once again left the
team.
“Let’s go!”
Once the threats on the overpass were lured away, Luo Bing quickly led the
group forward.
The team hurried across without incident, arriving at the agreed destination.
“We’re here!”
Luo Bing announced with joy.
“Thank you for this trip!”
Zhao Yu smiled and said, “However, the rest of the payment will have to be
made after we return to Peace Town…”
“Understood!” Luo Bing also smiled, not worried about Zhao Yu reneging on the payment. After all, there were several cars in that yard, more than enough to cover their payment.
“So, we’ll part ways here…”
“Okay!”
With that, both parties separated, with Luo Bing and her team off to complete
their official mission.
Zhao Yu, on the other hand, opened his daily tasks and began searching for the different targets described in this mission.
Soon, he found his target.
“Killing these species is easy, but how are we going to escape?!
Zhao Yu considered asking Luo Bing and her team for help, but worried that
the mission might fail if he didn’t do it himself.
“Then I’ll just lure all these targets here…”
For this trip, Zhao Yu had brought five backpacks filled with explosive packages, perfect for creating a distraction to lure the creatures. Of course, he didn’t need to worry about the details himself. After communicating his needs to the commanding officer, a comprehensive plan was formulated within just thirty seconds.
The twenty soldiers split into three groups. A reconnaissance team had already left, taking all the explosive packages to advance along the original path and execute their respective tasks.
Zhao Yu, with the remaining three combat teams, began pre-battle deployment.
As several assault troops took out various parts from their backpacks, two machine guns were assembled and set up at the two intersections.
The sniper team this time was equipped with auto-fire sniper rifles, allowing for sustained output.
The remaining five land infantry, armed with rifles, took their positions on the commander’s orders.
With everything ready, Zhao Yu took a deep breath and finally gave the order.
“Fire!”
“Da da da??? !”
Furious gunfire startled the unsuspecting different mutated species, which fell in droves.
As the gunfire erupted, other mutants in the distance also began to react.
Luo Bing’s team, located 500 meters away and about to execute their mission, suddenly heard the distant sound of gunfire filling the sky.
They widened their eyes in disbelief.
“They’re firing guns?!”
“Firing in the city? Are they seeking death?!”
“Shut up and hide!”
Although Luo Bing was also shocked by the audacity of Zhao Yu and his team, there was no time to relax; they had to camouflage themselves before other large groups of mutated species arrived.
Soon, each of them was smeared with the blood of the different species, and all seven members lay low inside a building.
Listening to the continuous sound of different species rushing towards the battlefield, they were terrified.
The scale of these different species was beyond their capability to handle.
Luo Bing and the others exchanged glances, each appearing shocked and unsettled.. Luo Bing couldn’t help but wonder, “What exactly are Zhao Yu and his team mission?!”
