Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 44 Strong Defense

When the sun shone into the stronghold the next day, many stained wasteland rangers and wanderers were sleeping soundly in front of the newly built earthen wall.

After nearly a day and a night of struggle, a trench was dug around this stronghold, and a simple earthen wall was built at the same time.

Although the trench was neither too wide nor too deep, nor was the earth wall too tall and thick.

However, all these brought this simple bunker a far more complete defense than the previous wooden fences.

At this time, Chen Xiaojia and several team members brought over the freshly cooked meat porridge in an iron bucket.

Then, the team members and homeless people who went back to rest after changing shifts last night walked out of the various buildings in the stronghold.

Those team members and homeless people who fell asleep against the wall were quickly woken up, and then each of them received a bowl of fragrant meat porridge and a potato cake.

At the same time, Chen Xiaojia also told them that they can go back to have a good sleep after eating a hot breakfast.

Seeing the ditch and the simple earthen wall, whether it was just waking up after a shift change last night or the team members and homeless yawning and sleepy faces, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.

Even though everyone's mental and physical exertion had reached their limits last day and night, everyone was happy because the entire stronghold had a preliminary defense.

When most of the sleepy team members and homeless returned to their respective residences to sleep, Chen Xiaojia noticed Wu Yunhao who hadn't left.

So, she took her bowl full of meat porridge and walked slowly to Wu Yunhao who was eating potato pancakes.

Seeing Wu Yunhao looking into the distance while eating potato cakes, Chen Xiaojia asked curiously: "Wu Yunhao, you were tired all day yesterday, go back and rest."

Wu Yunhao turned his head to look at Chen Xiaojia, and then replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not very sleepy yet."

Afterwards, Chen Xiaojia looked curiously into the distance following his gaze, and then continued to ask, "What are you waiting for?"

Wu Yunhao replied: "The news about me from the Cangyan Gang, as long as one of those captives returns to the Cangyan Gang alive, I think the results will come soon."

Just as Chen Xiaojia became more curious because of Wu Yunhao's answer and was about to say something, the walkie-talkie at Chen Xiaojia's waist rang.

That was Ding Shiyang who was sent out yesterday to watch the road leading to Yangnan Village. He said in the communication channel of the walkie-talkie: "Captain, there is a jeep on the road heading towards our stronghold."

Hearing Ding Shiyang's report on the communication channel, Chen Xiaojia picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to answer, then turned his head and looked at Wu Yunhao who was on the side.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xiaojia asked Wu Yunhao, "Is this the result you were waiting for?"

Seeing this, Wu Yunhao smiled and replied to Chen Xiaojia: "This has already come to a result, and it is still a very beneficial result for us."

"I think those guys from the Cangyan Gang should know that they kicked the iron plate, so they sent people over to negotiate."

As soon as Wu Yunhao said his words, Ding Shiyang asked in the intercom communication channel: "Captain, those guys seem to be members of the Cangyan Gang, do you want to kill them?"

Chen Xiaojia thought for a while, and then took the walkie-talkie and replied: "Ding Shiyang, let them come here, only a jeep came, it should be negotiated with us."

Afterwards, Ding Shiyang replied in the communication channel: "Okay, then my brothers and I will continue to observe the situation here. Captain, if you have anything to do, contact us as soon as possible."

Putting down the walkie-talkie in his hand, Chen Xiaojia turned his head to look at Wu Yunhao who was beside him: "In that case, can you help me to the end?"

Wu Yunhao smiled and replied: "Captain, you have already spoken, so you must be helping people to the end."

After Chen Xiaojia looked at each other and smiled, Wu Yunhao and he walked towards the entrance of the stronghold near the road.

When Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia came to the entrance of the stronghold in the direction of the road, the jeep that was galloping from afar also gradually entered the sight of everyone nearby.

The team members on duty quickly spotted the jeep approaching in the distance: "Hey, it seems that there is a jeep approaching in the distance...not our people, everyone pay attention."

After receiving a pistol from a team member on the side, Chen Xiaojia was about to pass the other pistol to Wu Yunhao.

But Wu Yunhao turned his head and smiled at Chen Xiaojia: "Since it's a negotiation, why use weapons?"

At this moment, the jeep stopped slowly on the road near the stronghold.

The car door opened, and the two homeless people got out of the car one after another. They raised their hands up high as they walked off the road to show that they had no malice, and then walked slowly towards the earthen wall of the stronghold.

When they came to the gate of the stronghold, the two wanderers shouted towards the entrance of the stronghold: "We are from the Cangyan Gang, and we came to negotiate with you Wasteland Rangers on behalf of our leader about what happened yesterday."

Hearing the words of the two homeless Cangyan Gang, Chen Xiaojia turned her head to look at Wu Yunhao beside her in surprise.

All of this is actually exactly what Wu Yunhao said.

At this time, Wu Yunhao jumped onto the earthen fence, and then condescendingly asked two homeless Cangyan Gang not far away: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

In this regard, the two Cangyan Gang wanderers looked at each other, and then turned to Wu Yunhao and asked: "We want to see the leader of your Wasteland Rangers, is it you?"

Wu Yunhao sneered disdainfully and replied: "I tell you, speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have something to say, otherwise you two will be beaten into a sieve just like your companions yesterday."

Hearing Wu Yunhao's threats, and the surrounding wasteland ranger members aiming their guns at them, the two Cangyan gang's wanderers were obviously a little nervous.

Another Cangyan gang member hastily smoothed things over and said, "Hey, man, don't be so excited. In fact, what happened yesterday was a complete misunderstanding."

"Originally, our Cangyan Gang just heard that you were planning to rebuild a homeless stronghold here, so we wanted to send someone over to see what's going on."

"It may be that our side is used to being loose on weekdays, so unfortunately there was a misunderstanding this time."

"Our leader, on behalf of the entire Cangyan Gang, expresses his sincerest apologies for this misunderstanding, and at the same time invites the leader of your wasteland rangers to go to the Yangnan Village stronghold to have a talk."

"The leader, in front of everyone in the entire stronghold, treats us Wasteland Rangers to a good meal, and at the same time pours wine himself to apologize."

Hearing the words of another homeless person from the Cangyan Gang, Wu Yunhao replied loudly: "Go back and tell your gang leader, forget about these fake polites."

"If he really wants to apologize, then let your Cangyan Gang send some supplies to make amends."

"If you don't want to pay for supplies, then don't think about our wasteland rangers in the future."

"Otherwise, we don't mind calling you again."

"Since you've heard it all, get out!"
