They were more than 500 meters away from the enemy’s stronghold. They should not be discovered by the enemy.
” Speak! What’s the situation in your stronghold?!” Zhao Yu commanded.
“If you play dead or plan to trick me! Then you will be dead soon enough!” His other hand grabbed the man’s neck and was about to break it when Xiao Xiao Long quickly pulled him back.
“Let me do it for you! Brother Yu!”
The man in front of him shake his head repeatedly when he heard the warning.
His eyes were filled with fear.
He wanted to speak, but his mouth was tightly sealed, unable to make any sound.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a bit embarrassed.
When Zhao Yu captured this man, fearing that he would make noise, he had been quite harsh, covering his mouth with soil and rock and used a cloth to sealed his mouth tightly.
Xiao Xiao Long and Zhao Yu loosened his grip slightly, but remained on guard.
If the man showed any sign of shouting, he would immediately knocked him out again.
“Huff—!”
The man gasped for air and hurriedly said, “I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything, just don’t kill me!”
“In our base now, there are five of us. The boss took the others to exchange
weapons and equipment…”
After some questioning, Zhao Yu and his group figured out thing clearly.
There were only five of their people in the base. Besides them, there were female students they had captured.
Their leader, along with a dozen others, went to a place called Wang Feng
Valley.
There was a powerful merchant there where they could buy weapons and equipment.
“Where does Wang Feng Valley get its weapons and equipment from?!” Zhao Yu continued to ask.
“Bought from the camp!”
The man understood that Zhao Yu was with Xiao Xiao Long and must have just arrived here.
What surprised him was how this newly group possessed such strong capabilities, which was truly baffling.
“The camp is dominated by a major force, issuing five first-tier coins. Only those with first-tier coins can enter the camp to buy supplies…”
“It’s said that even people who could deal with first-tier monster would still be exploited in the camp…”
“Wang Feng Valley has a first-tier enhancer, one of the five major forces in our region…”
“We are only able to deal with zero-tier monsters, and we usually go to the places where these five major forces are to deal with them.”
Zhao Yu walked away to think about their next move.
“Fortunately enough that we didn’t rashly go to the camp, otherwise we wouldn’t have even a single coin left.”
According to the man’s description, the camp was dominated by a large force.
Only those with the combat power of first-tier issued to enter for trade. Others who dared to go there would, at best, be cleaned out and at worst, lose their lives.
But even going to Wang Feng Valley with zero coins for trading would likely result in exploitation.
However, these matters could wait; rescuing people was the priority now.
“Li Hong Wei, you lead a few to watch him. Everyone else, follow me to the rescue!”
Zhao Yu handed the man over to Li Hong Wei and led the remained towards the base.
Their base was on a small hill. Zhao Yu observed and confirmed that there indeed were only five enemies inside.
At that moment, these five were sexually assaulting five female students.
“They all deserve to die! Scumbags”
Xiao Xiao Long cursed under his breath.
If it weren’t for Zhao Yu’s order, he would have charged in and killed them right then.
“Everyone else stay here to keep an eye on the surrounding. Those who are at the threshold level, follow me!”
After saying this, five threshold-level enhancers rushed towards the hill.
They moved quickly, reaching the top in the blink of an eye.
The five who were left to guard were not strong enough and only reacted when the attackers were nearly upon them.
But before they could ready their weapons to counterattack, they were swiftly subdued.
Three died on the spot.
Only the enemies captured by Zhao Yu and Cai Shu Ying survived.
“Aren’t we going to kill these people?!”
Xiao Xiao Long was confused by Zhao Yu’s action.
Before Zhao Yu could speak, Cai Shu Ying, gritting her teeth, said, “Just killing them like this would be letting them off too easily!”
Behind the base, more than twenty female students tied up saw familiar faces appear and all started crying.
Soon, the remaining forty-plus enhancers came up to meet with Zhao Yu and others.
Everyone busied themselves, rescuing all the tied-up female students.
Xiao Xiao Long knelt down before these girls.
“I’m sorry, I’ve failed you all…”
“Is saying sorry now of any use?!”
A girl rushed up and slapped Xiao Xiao Long hard.
Her body had already been violated by the thieves, and there were two tear streaks on her face.
The reactions of the rescued girls varied; some cried bitterly, some ran to whip the corpses, while others just sat blankly, seemingly having lost the will to live. Zhao Yu let out a long sigh.
For the girls, the importance of chastity varies from person to person. Because of the heinous acts of these bandits, among the fifty people Zhao Yu brought with him this time, except for Cai Shu Ying, almost all were boys. Originally, he didn’t want to bring Cai Shu Ying either, but she had insisted on coming.
Thinking of her appearance, Zhao Yu thought that even if she were captured, probably no one would be interested in her.
Moreover, Cai Shu Ying seemed not to care about these things. As far as he knew, last night, she had been involved with as many as three boys.
“I’ll kill you!”
One of the girls snapped back to reality, picked up a knife from the ground and was about to kill the bandits.
Zhao Yu quickly took the knife from her, “Don’t rush, let me clarify the situation first, then I’ll hand him over to you…”
He asked Cai Shu Ying to interrogate first and then proceed with the killing.
The interrogation revealed no discrepancies from the earlier sentry’s report; their leader had gone to Wang Feng Valley and was likely to return that evening.
After obtaining the information, Zhao Yu didn’t stop them. He broke the limbs of the three men and handed them over to the surviving girls.
After half an hour of torture, the three finally suffered till their last breath.
Zhao Yu had no intention of leaving any survivors.
These people had killed more than a dozen of Xiao Xiao Long’s men yesterday and captured over twenty girls.
The reason they let Xiao Xiao Long and the ninety others leave was that they saw them as no threat and planned to rob them again once they had accumulated more zero coins.
“Can we beat them head on when they come back from Wang Feng Valley?!
Zhao Yu was worried. According to the timing, those people would return by nightfall.
They would lose the opportunity for an ambush if they leave now. Finding these bandits again next time would be difficult.
Therefore, Zhao Yu’s plan was to stay and ambush, eliminating those people.
“There should be no problem now!”
“At least an eighty to ninety percent chance of success!
There were some weapons and equipment in the base, left behind by the six guards.
There were six knives in total, along with ten pieces of armor that could be combined into a complete set.
Zhao Yu assembled a set for himself and wore it.
However, he will first gathered everyone for a final decision.
“Now, we have two options…”
“One is to leave and regroup with the main team. But the bandits might flee when they return, and we may not encounter them again…
“The other is to ambush here and take them out…
“What do you all think about these two choices?!’1
Only a few people hesitated, while the rest expressed their willingness to stay and set up an ambush.
They were all young people in their late teens or early twenties, full of vigor and determined to avenge their grievances.
Zhao Yu didn’t say much more, as his intention was also to stay. The main reason was to get a hold of the enemy’s equipment. This group had taken over a thousand zero coins from Xiao Xiao and others, which could potentially be exchanged for valuable items.
Zhao Yu had gained some understanding of the situation in Wang Feng Valley from the captives.
He also had an idea about the prices of weapons and equipment.
Armor in Wang Feng Valley was sold for ten zero coins per piece, amounting to fifty zero coins for a full set.
Weapons were sold for twenty zero coins each.
The entire bandit group’s assets was worth up to thousand.
Zhao Yu also learned about the origins of this bandit group. They had arrived about ten days earlier than his group, coming through with a commercial building, but the number was not large, only three to four hundred people. In the end, only about fifty people survived, fleeing all the way to the north of the boundary road.
During the escape, over thirty more died, leaving just about twenty of them. As nightfall approached, the bandit group that had gone to Wang Feng Valley to buy supplies finally returned..
