Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 39 The Invading Wanderers

Driving the transport truck full of log sections, everyone quickly returned to the outskirts of the stronghold.

After approaching the stronghold, Wu Yunhao asked Ding Shiyang to drive the transport truck into a hidden low-lying area nearby.

Then, the four of them took out firearms for self-defense for those who went out from the car.

Although there is only one bolt-action rifle and three pistols, it is enough for each person to be assigned a weapon.

Wu Yunhao naturally took the bolt-action rifle without hesitation, while Ding Shiyang, Fang Yu, and Zhang Hongwei quickly checked their pistols.

Quickly unbolting the gun to check the condition of the gun, Wu Yunhao asked for the walkie-talkie towards Ding Shiyang who had just loaded the magazine.

Turning on the communication channel of the walkie-talkie, Wu Yunhao hurriedly asked: "Captain Chen, we have arrived at the outskirts of the stronghold, how is the situation on your side?"

Soon, a man's voice sounded on the communication channel: "Mr. Wu, I'm Xiao Sun. The captain took people to negotiate with those guys outside the stronghold."

"Those guys' convoy is parked in the wasteland to the west. They claim to be members of the Cangyan Gang, a nearby stronghold. If we want to build a stronghold here, we have to pay them protection fees."

"They have five jeeps, and there are about 20 people. Basically, each of them has a gun. One of the jeeps is also equipped with a heavy machine gun."

Hearing what the man said in the communication channel, Wu Yunhao handed over the walkie-talkie to Ding Shiyang who was on the side to confirm the identity of the man.

After Ding Shiyang verified that the other party was indeed a member of the Wasteland Ranger, he took the walkie-talkie and replied, "Okay, Xiao Sun, then you listen to me."

"You let everyone take a gun, as long as they can hold a gun, they will take a gun. Even if there are not so many bullets, let everyone take a gun and pretend."

"In addition, you have all the team members who have fired to gather around the perimeter of the stronghold. If there is a battle later, remember to be able to provide support as soon as possible."

Hearing Wu Yunhao's order, the team member's tone suddenly became a little nervous: "Mr. Wu, do we... really want to fight them?"

"There are only a dozen people left on our side who can use guns, and there are quite a few people on the other side, and there are heavy machine guns. If the fight doesn't go well..."

Before the team member finished speaking, Wu Yunhao directly interrupted the other party in a deep voice: "So, you are going to hand over your hard-earned supplies to others?"

"As long as these guys succeed once, they will come to search every once in a while, and each time the protection fee will be more than before."

"Let people eat and drink with your hard-earned supplies, and then become more and more difficult to resist. Are you willing to live like this forever?"

"If the two sides really fight, I will support you as soon as possible, okay?"

Perhaps it was Wu Yunhao's last sentence that gave the team member courage, and then he responded to Wu Yunhao in a deep voice: "Okay, Mr. Wu, I will take everyone to prepare."

After turning off the communication channel of the walkie-talkie, Wu Yunhao directed to Ding Shiyang and the three beside him: "Since the homeless team didn't enter the stronghold, you should go back to the stronghold first."

"Then, as I said, you should gather with everyone and wait outside the stronghold. It is best to send another person to inform Captain Chen and the others who are negotiating outside."

"When Captain Chen and the others retreat, those guys have no intention of leaving. Since they like this place so much, we will let them never leave."

Regarding Wu Yunhao's arrangement, Ding Shiyang frowned slightly and asked Wu Yunhao: "Wu Xian... Yunhao, are you sure you can handle it alone?"

Smiling and nodding to Ding Shiyang, Wu Yunhao replied: "As long as there is no problem on your side, I will provide you with remote support."

Although his expression was a little hesitant, Ding Shiyang then nodded towards Wu Yunhao, and ran towards the stronghold with Fang Yu and Zhang Hongwei.

After watching the three of them run to the distant stronghold, Wu Yunhao ran towards the west of the stronghold from the other side with the bolt-action rifle in hand.

To the west of the stronghold is a piece of wasteland. It can be seen from the remaining dirt roads and those ridges that this place was once a cultivated land.

But just like this dilapidated village, it was quickly abandoned after the Doomsday War, and now it has completely turned into a wild grassland with overgrown grass and rough terrain.

The wasteland ranger is planning to reclaim the wasteland in the west after the stronghold is rebuilt, even if it is just to grow some potatoes.

Bending over and taking advantage of the cover of the dense bushes, Wu Yunhao quickly ran forward with his gun in hand, and then jumped into the ditch beside the field ridge.

After confirming that there were no other people nearby, Wu Yunhao and Liu poked his head out from behind the ditch, and began to observe the homeless convoy parked beside the road ahead.

Just like what the team member Xiao Sun said earlier, this team has about 20 people, and there are five modified jeeps.

At this moment, apart from the jeep and the machine gunner in the convoy, the rest of the homeless people got out of the car and stood around their leader, trying to put pressure on the three Chen Xiaojia who came to negotiate with the advantage of numbers.

In fact, looking at the three of Chen Xiaojia standing close together from a distance, while the two team members behind Chen Xiaojia were still holding the assault rifles in their hands tightly, the intimidation tactics of these homeless people were still very successful.

Next, a jeep galloped over from the stronghold, and then Ding Shiyang and Fang Yu jumped out of the jeep, and then walked forward and said something to Chen Xiaojia who was negotiating.

When Chen Xiaojia heard Ding Shiyang's words, he was a little skeptical, and then signaled to the homeless people to wait a while.

After walking aside and talking to Ding Shiyang in a low voice, Chen Xiaojia stepped forward and said something to the homeless people.

After the homeless people answered themselves, Chen Xiaojia and the others boarded two jeeps respectively, and then drove the two jeeps back to the stronghold.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yunhao quickly picked up the bolt-action rifle in his hand, and then aimed the gun at the homeless people.

At this time, the walkie-talkie that Wu Yunhao had brought from Ding Shiyang earlier also rang.

Chen Xiaojia then asked Wu Yunhao in the communication channel: "Wu Yunhao, are you sure we can kill them if we fight?"

In this regard, Wu Yunhao took off the cloth strip covering his right eye, and started aiming with his bloody perspective.

Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and replied to Chen Xiaojia: "If you come according to my arrangement, there should be no big problem."

Hearing Wu Yunhao's answer, Chen Xiaojia on the other end of the communication channel was silent for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will listen to you."

Pointing the gun at a well-dressed homeless man, Wu Yunhao smiled and answered with the walkie-talkie: "Everyone is ready..."

"The hunt... begins."
