"Who the hell dares to steal my goods?!"
In Yelang Town, Li Yang was furious after receiving the news.
"Boss, according to those who escaped, they were out for revenge..."
"revenge?!"
Li Yang calmed down a little, remembered what the instructor Uncle Wang said to him, and asked: "You mean, those soldiers?"
"yes!"
"What appeared this time was also a group of soldiers, all wearing military uniforms..."
Li Yang took a breath of air-conditioning and felt a little uneasy. He couldn't really rob a large group, right?
Thinking of this, he felt a chill down his back. He didn't care to ask for details and hurriedly found Uncle Wang.
"Don't rush!"
Uncle Wang comforted Li Yang and said, "Since the other party has let people come back and said they want revenge, it means they know that we robbed them..."
"If you didn't call me directly, what does that mean?"
Li Yang's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "They don't have the strength to defeat us?!"
"That's right!"
Uncle Wang nodded and said: "Before, I was worried that the other party was from a large group..."
"Now it seems that the other party is probably just a small force supported by a certain force..."
"You mean the people from Black Rock City?"
"Um!"
Uncle Wang smiled slightly and said: "There is no news from Black Rock City, and no one has come to us to explain, which shows that the power behind them is not strong..."
"So, let's do whatever we need to do now..."
Li Yang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll send someone to take a look now?"
After all, he was too young, and sometimes he even felt that Uncle Wang was getting older and less courageous.
But when I experienced this kind of thing, I found that the other person's experience was very important, and his attitude became slightly better.
Uncle Wang looked at him with a look of relief, "It doesn't matter whether we go or not. Since the other party dares to take action, they probably won't stay there waiting for us..."
"But it's not necessarily true. It's possible that they want to lure us out and set up another ambush outside the city. You have to consider this yourself..."
He paused and added: "However, I think the most urgent task now is to find out where this group of people came from..."
"Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, many things are inconvenient to unfold, so now we should send people to ask around about the situation..."
"Um……"
Li Yang nodded, feeling that it made sense, "Then find out which force they belong to..."
"However, I still need to send someone to check first, what if our goods are still there?"
The quantity of that batch of goods was quite large, and even he was very excited. How could he be willing to give up like that?
Soon, Li Yang gathered all the people and left Yelang Town again.
…
"Everyone, move quickly. We have to reach Gaojiazhuang before dark..."
Meng Xian walked at the front of the team and looked at her exhausted teammates behind her.
They had already started returning from Black Rock City, and there was one less person than before departure.
One of the two enhancers who applied for promotion disappeared, and only Xiaoliu was promoted successfully and became a second-level agility enhancer.
"Sister Meng, take a rest for a while..." Xiao Liu said breathlessly.
Even if he is a strengthener, he is still very tired at this moment.
"We can't rest, we have to go to Gaojiazhuang..." Meng Xian said solemnly: "In the camp outside Blackstone City, there are many gangs who make a living by looting..."
Although she is already at the third level, if there are too many people and she is surrounded, she will not be able to escape.
Therefore, every time they come to Black Rock City, they will speed up to prevent being robbed.
"Sister Meng, we don't have many things, so it should be fine, right?!"
"Be careful and you won't make a mistake!"
After everyone heard this, they could only suppress their desire to fall asleep and continue on their way.
An hour later, Meng Xian and his party arrived at Gaojiazhuang without any danger.
This place is much larger than Mengjiazhuang, with two streets, several rows of two-story buildings, and fences and fences on the outside to guard against wild beasts.
In addition, there are many gunmen patrolling around the camp.
After several experiences of staying overnight, Meng Xian entered Zhuangzi smoothly. After paying some fees, she temporarily stayed in Zhuangzi.
After settling everyone down, Meng Xian walked towards the core area of the village.
"Boss Gao, long time no see!"
"Ms. Meng, you are doing well lately..."
Boss Gao was an old man in his fifties. His eyes narrowed when he smiled, and he looked harmless.
But Meng Xian knew that Boss Gao was not a simple man. Anyone going to the eastern wilderness would not have any trouble from the gangs from the camp outside Blackstone City as long as they stayed here for one night.
The two briefly chatted for a few words. Just when Meng Xian was about to leave, a piece of news suddenly attracted her attention.
"Hey, you know that Wild Wolf Town, right?"
"They killed a group of soldiers before, about fifty or sixty people, but they were beaten back today..."
"soldier?!"
Meng Xian was stunned for a moment, and the image of Zhao Yu appeared in her mind, and she asked curiously: "It's just a man in military uniform, right?"
"no!"
Mr. Gao laughed and said: "It is said that those soldiers follow orders and prohibitions one by one. They are obviously professionally trained..."
"If you ask me, this Li Yang is really brave. He even dares to rob someone like this..."
After learning about the two conflicts that occurred near Refuge No. 12988, Meng Xian was basically 50% sure that the sudden appearance of the military force was Zhao Yu.
Because there is a person named Mengmeng in their camp, who is the survivor that Zhao Yu rescued from the alien before. She came out of Shelter No. 12988.
Zhao Yu's movement trajectory is biased towards the north, coinciding with Shelter No. 12988.
"Since it is an army that only big forces can cultivate, then Yelang Town is probably going to be destroyed, right?"
"Probably not a powerful person..."
Mr. Gao laughed and said: "Not only big forces can cultivate armies..."
"The four major families in Blackstone City, as well as the eight major chambers of commerce, have all specially trained soldiers. These soldiers do not do anything else except training every day..."
Meng Xian had never heard of the Four Families, but she had heard of the Eight Major Chambers of Commerce, which were said to be large chambers of commerce that went to other cities to do business.
Some are local chambers of commerce, and some are branches from other places here.
In today's world, the wilderness is extremely dangerous. There are no highways or train tracks to transport goods. If you want to do business across the city, you must have a strong enough escort team.
However, these big names were too far away, so she didn't think much about it and asked instead: "You mean, that the troops who don't know the details may be members of the eight major chambers of commerce or the four major families?"
"The possibility is very high..."
Mr. Gao laughed and said: "If people from a large group are robbed, they will definitely destroy Wild Wolf Town immediately instead of plundering the outgoing convoy..."
"The reason for doing this is obviously that they are not strong enough, or they do not dare to reveal their identity..."
Although Meng Xian doesn't hang out in Blackstone City, she is still very interested in it and asked curiously: "Don't people from the eight major chambers of commerce dare to touch Wild Wolf Town?"
"It's not that I don't dare!"
Mr. Gao laughed and said: "No matter how powerful Wild Wolf Town is, it is just a wilderness force. How can it compare with the people of Black Rock City..."
"It's just that Yelang Town has a background in manufacturing arms and weapons for Black Rock City..."
"So, that unknown team did not dare to appear in public to retaliate against Wild Wolf Town. It is probably based on this consideration..."
Meng Xian thought of Zhao Yu's statement that he was from the Rizhao Group, and asked, "Is it possible that he is from a large group, but he is unable to send troops to destroy Yelang Town for the time being?"
"impossible!"
Boss Gao denied it: "Even if the big group can't spare its manpower for a while, as long as they tell Black Rock City officials, there will be enough people to wipe out Wild Wolf Town..."
Meng Xian thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth. The things controlled by large groups were extremely precious. Even if a little bit leaked from the cracks of fingernails, it would be enough for Black Rock City to eat a lot.
So, Zhao Yu’s real background is not the Rizhao Group, but the eight major chambers of commerce in Black Rock City? !
Meng Xian was secretly happy. She didn't expect that she would get something unexpected during this trip.
"By the way, Wild Wolf Town has issued a reward. If anyone knows the details of that group of people, you can tell him. The reward is 100,000 black stone coins..."
"Hey, there are big shots on both sides, I'm not qualified to get involved..." Meng Xian laughed at herself and said goodbye to Boss Gao. After returning to the room to rest, she was still thinking about the purpose of Zhao Yu and the others' coming out.
"Assuming that Zhao Yu is from one of the eight major chambers of commerce, then why would they build a camp in the wilderness?!"
"You still want to hide your identity?!"
Meng Xian felt that there must be some secret behind this, but she couldn't guess it for a while.
However, she felt that she could take this opportunity to gain some benefits.
As Boss Gao said, Zhao Yu did not dare to reveal his identity, so even if his background was in the eight major chambers of commerce, he would still have to pay a confidentiality fee.
"ha!"
Thinking of this, Meng Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud. She felt that she had really made a lot of money on this trip.
…
After getting up, Zhao Yu immediately started training the soldiers as planned.
Two and a half hours later, 30 conscripts walked out of the training camp.
So far, he has a total of 60 mobilization soldiers, all of whom have been organized into guard battalions. According to the commander's establishment, they are divided into three guard squadrons, each with 20 people.
The commander's establishment is a squad of five people, a squadron of twenty people, and a large group of one hundred people.
Of course, Zhao Yu doesn't have so many technology points now, and none of the three guard squadrons are equipped with commanders.
However, with their strength, there is no need to have a commander, they just need to scare ordinary people.
After having manpower on hand, Zhao Yu immediately divided a guard squadron and asked them to be responsible for the security work of the camp construction outside the east gate.
At the same time, ten engineers were recruited to propose their own plans for the military area, living area and industrial area.
These were relatively simple and did not exceed the capabilities of the engineering soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Yu assigned three more engineering soldiers to the living area and asked them to take the more than fifty residents they had recently taken in to build a camp outside the east gate.
Then, he took the remaining seven engineers and two guard squadrons to the military base area he planned.
He does not plan to use outside manpower to build this military base. It is considered his secret base. No one else can be allowed to intervene except his soldiers.
After arriving at the place, Zhao Yu asked the assault team to take charge of the security here, and asked forty mobilization soldiers to start the logging work in full swing.
The planned military base currently has nothing. It is still in the state of a virgin forest. The trees need to be cut down first, and then cement will be laid. The amount of work is not small.
Fortunately, there are engineering soldiers keeping an eye on these, so Zhao Yu doesn't need to spend too much effort.
After watching it for a while, he took the rest of the reconnaissance team back to the base.
The sniper team and the two remaining Marine infantrymen were temporarily responsible for the security of the base at this moment.
Although there are not many manpower, no one dares to trouble his base now, so it is safe.
After returning to the base, Zhao Yu took the reconnaissance team to inspect the work outside the east gate.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Hawkeye greeted him.
"Zhao Baichang, I didn't know you were..."
"We have rescued a group of survivors and plan to build a camp here for them to live in..." Zhao Yu said casually.
Eagle Eye scratched his head, and seemed to be unable to find a good reason to refuse. After all, the conditions originally negotiated did not say that Zhao Yu could not build another camp outside the east gate.
Moreover, they are located north of the east gate, and the camp built here is south of the east gate. The two sides will not interfere with each other.
Zhao Yu inspected for a while and found that the people under him worked very efficiently. Not only was no one lazy, but they were working enthusiastically.
He found a person with a relatively high reputation to inquire about the situation.
"Sir, it's great that you can take us in. We are willing to work under you, as long as we can eat the same meal as yesterday every day..."
After a brief conversation, Zhao Yu discovered that these people had no intention of running away, but wanted to stay.
Can you win people's hearts with just one meal? !
Zhao Yu only felt magical and asked: "Then you don't have any relatives or friends in Yelang Town?!"
"Family?!"
The skinny man sighed: "In this world, there are no relatives or friends..."
"Where are the wife and children?"
"No!"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Then you work hard. As long as I am still alive, you will have to eat..."
"Thank you sir, we will work hard for you..." the skinny man quickly expressed his stance.
Zhao Yu nodded and sent the man back.
He didn't say anything about wages.
In today's world, it is unrealistic to pay wages, and he doesn't want to cause such trouble.
He also has some ideas about the purpose of these people.
There is an indoor cultivated farmland over there in the shelter, which would be a bit troublesome for the soldiers to deal with, so Zhao Yu plans to send these people there to help him farm the land.
Of course, this must wait until the trouble in Wild Wolf Town is resolved, otherwise the other party can come and fight from time to time.
During the day, Zhao Yu basically ran between the military area and the living area, inspecting work, and at the same time communicating with several commanders to discuss some military combat experiences.
In addition, Zhao Yu also counted the harvest.
Apart from dozens of additional cars, the most valuable thing to him was gasoline and ammunition. After recycling the ammunition, it was enough for him to build a tank that could drive and fire shells.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, a new daily task was refreshed.
After seeing the content of the mission, Zhao Yu frowned fiercely.
"It was actually discovered..."
