Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 99 The Destroyed Stronghold
Although the homeless stronghold has no outer walls, it is almost twice the size of the Xinshan village stronghold.

Since the scale is doubled, there will only be more homeless people living in this stronghold than in Xinshan Village.

But at this moment, this homeless stronghold has become a deserted area with only a few dilapidated buildings remaining.

Looking at the ruined homeless stronghold from afar, all the homeless in the convoy couldn't help but feel the gloom in their hearts getting thicker.

At this moment, Wu Yunhao seemed to vaguely see a few flickering figures from the stronghold.

Next, he saw someone in the stronghold pick up a piece of red cloth with a branch, and was waving it towards the convoy on the road.

In this ruin-like stronghold... there are still living people?
Seeing the waved red cloth, these people seemed to be asking the convoy for... help?
Then, Ding Shiyang's voice came from the car radio: "Captain, did you see it?"

"It seems that there are still people alive in the stronghold, and they are asking us for help."

At this moment, Chen Xiaojia was also looking at the waving banner in the distant stronghold.

After a short silence, Chen Xiaojia replied to Ding Shiyang: "Everyone has been busy all night, so we can take a rest here."

"You take someone over there to have a look. If the other party is someone from this homeless stronghold, bring them back for questioning."

"Since we want to help Xiji City solve the problem of black monsters here, it is also beneficial for us to get as much local information as possible."

Hearing Chen Xiaojia's words, Ding Shiyang agreed to her, and then the armed jeep he was in accelerated out of the convoy.

After hearing Chen Xiaojia's words, all the vehicles in the convoy slowly drove off the road, and then stopped one after another in the open space in front of the ruined stronghold.

After all the vehicles in the convoy stopped, Chen Xiaojia quickly opened the door and followed Wu Yunhao and the driver to get out of the car.

"Fan Xingxue, Ding Kang, the two of you and the others quickly light a fire and cook for everyone."

"Other people who want to rest should rest quickly, and those who need to relieve themselves should go to the nearby place as soon as possible."

"We just rest for an hour, and after an hour we start again."

"But don't forget to be vigilant when you are resting. We have now entered the range of Xiji City."

"You must not forget what we are here to do."

After giving instructions to the wasteland rangers and homeless team members on a nearby transport truck, Chen Xiaojia shouted loudly at the many homeless people who got off the truck.

Hearing Chen Xiaojia's order, some Wasteland Ranger members and some wanderers got busy, and the rest of the Wasteland Ranger members and wanderers sat down nearby to rest.

At this time, Wu Yunhao noticed that Ding Shiyang and others had driven to the ruins of the stronghold and were talking with several people who came out of the ruins of the stronghold.

After talking for a while, Ding Shiyang signaled the two wasteland rangers beside him to get into the car, and he signaled the ragged-looking homeless people in front of him to follow him.

Then, keeping a safe distance with the assault rifle in his hand, he led the ragged homeless people over.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaojia waved to Wu Yunhao and the wasteland rangers who were resting aside, and then they greeted Ding Shiyang.

Slowly coming in front of Chen Xiaojia, Wu Yunhao and others, Ding Shiyang pointed to the homeless people who followed him and said, "I asked, they are survivors of this stronghold."

"However, when this stronghold was destroyed, they were dispatched by the stronghold to purchase supplies, and they were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe."

"By the time they come back, this stronghold has become what we saw."

Speaking of this, Ding Shiyang turned his head to the ragged homeless and said: "If you still want a bite to eat, tell our captain everything you know."

Hearing Ding Shiyang's words, those homeless people immediately looked at Chen Xiaojia with a little more awe.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man in charge smiled and said to Chen Xiaojia, "When we came back from the nearby Ningwu Town, the base became like this."

"But at that time, there were many black monster corpses around the stronghold. The small ones were as big as mutant wolf dogs, and the big ones were a circle bigger than mutant wild boars."

"We even found a black monster at least as big as a two-story building next to the stronghold. That monster's head alone was half the size of a car."

Seeing the middle-aged man say so much in one breath, another middle-aged woman hurriedly took his words and said, "Yes, the most terrifying thing is that those monsters seem to be like an army."

"There are nearly [-] people in the entire stronghold. Except for those who were killed by those black monsters on the spot, we haven't seen the bodies of the rest of them."

"We were terrified when we first saw this scene. After all, we had never seen this kind of alienated beast before, so we hurried back to Ningwu Town to report the news,"

"The guards from Xiji City were sent over to transport all the corpses of those black monsters away."

After listening to the middle-aged man and woman in front of him, Chen Xiaojia nodded slightly.

Just when she was about to continue asking those two people, Wu Yunhao asked those homeless people, "Did no one in the entire base see any corpses?"

"Then how do you judge whether these people were captured by those black monsters or killed by those black monsters?"

While Wu Yunhao was asking questions, he pretended to straighten the cloth that covered his right eye, and opened his right eye slightly while lifting the cloth.

Seeing that Wu Yunhao had covered his right eye and looked extremely unfriendly, the middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Blood was everywhere in the entire stronghold earlier."

"It rained two days ago to wash away a lot of blood, so much blood, so I guess everyone is basically in danger."

"Besides, Xiji City sent the guards to do a reconnaissance, and found a lot of broken limbs in the direction of the woods in the west. Those monsters should be heading towards the mountainous area in the west."

"These are what I said when the guards of Xiji City came, and I secretly listened to the conversations of those officers. I guarantee that everything I said is true."

At this time, the middle-aged woman echoed with a smile: "Yes, it's true... Well, you are homeless brothers from other places, right?"

"If you need a local guide, you can hire a few of us. We don't need money, just take care of our two meals."

"Captain, please help us, we haven't eaten anything decent for two days."

　I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year.

　　At the same time, there are still all kinds of requests in the new year!
　　Asking for votes, asking for rewards, asking for comments, asking for all kinds of requests!
