Atlas of Heaven and Man

It didn't take Wei Chang'an much effort to retrieve the items, and he delivered everything by the afternoon of the next day.

Chen Chuan, with the cooperation of Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan, spent a day coordinating and preparing, ensuring that all other necessary items were also ready.

Senior Sister He had prepared a total of five off-road vehicles for them. Adding Ren Xiaotian's own car, that made six, enough to carry everyone and the essential supplies and weapons needed for traversing the wilderness.

The next day, just after midnight, everyone participating in the operation gathered at the square in front of the Wuyi Academy.

Chen Chuan's group consisted of five people, Wei Chang'an brought six, and with Ren Xiaotian, there were a total of thirteen.

Lin Xiaodi, due to her young age, did not participate in this raid but remained in Yangzhi City, responsible for monitoring the exchange group and answering any calls from the Foreign Affairs Bureau. They had specifically brought two radios this time, so if there were any abnormalities with the exchange group, they could be notified in time.

Before setting off, everyone checked their equipment again. Seeing that everything was in order, they nodded to each other and got into the cars one by one, driving onto the empty road in the darkness.

Each of the six people Wei Chang'an brought could drive, so they were entrusted with driving the vehicles, rather than using the original drivers.

Only near the checkpoints could they descend, but those areas were also the most heavily guarded. Getting off there required inspection and registration, which was very troublesome, and sometimes they would even be detained for verification. Therefore, it was better to go directly through the wilderness.

Ren Xiaotian was very familiar with the conditions here, as he often came to the wilderness for commission tasks. He had also scouted the Rust Faction's camp, so he was in charge of leading the way this time.

Chen Chuan sat in the back seat, inspecting the Armor-Piercing Rifle in his hand. The rifle was about 1.2 meters long and weighed over twenty pounds, but for a fighter, holding it with one hand was very easy.

However, the most special thing was actually the rifle's bullets. He picked one up and looked at it. The bullet was estimated to be about seven or eight centimeters long, with a very sharp tip. It felt heavy in his hand. They brought a total of fifteen bullets this time, which didn't seem like much, but it was enough.

The control of this type of gun was usually very strict, because unless it was the kind of protective suit he wore when he raided Fang Dawei last time, ordinary protective suits were like paper in front of it within its effective range.

Among the six people Wei Chang'an brought this time, besides the two technicians responsible for repairing vehicles and receiving telegrams, a particularly special one was a skilled shooter.

Although this person didn't have a firearms license, he grew up in the police station and often frequented the shooting range, developing excellent marksmanship. This time, after hearing that he could handle an Armor-Piercing Rifle, he said he would come even if he had to pay out of his own pocket, just to have a go.

After putting the gun away, he flipped through the information Ren Xiaotian had given him, which contained some records about the Rust Faction's situation.

The leader of the Rust Faction was named "Mitai," nicknamed "Wild Hawk." He was a Maca mixed-blood, forty years old. It was said that he had been mingling in the wilderness with a group since he was a child. Because he was relatively clever, he was taken in by the gang leader as a follower.

Later, the gang leader was killed in a conflict. As the former leader's follower, he was not trusted by the new leader and was driven out.

The main reason was that he was a Maca mixed-blood.

Although people in the wilderness were looked down upon by people in the city, a chain of contempt still existed, especially for Maca mixed-bloods and Maca people, who were even lower than those from Jiaoshan, at the bottom of the chain, making it very difficult to turn things around.

Since then, this person had been doing odd jobs in the wilderness, without anything outstanding. However, in the past year or two, he had suddenly risen to prominence and formed his own team.

Just looking at this experience, it was clear that he must have received support from a certain force behind the scenes.

Mitai had two main deputies, one was "Viper" Youan, a pure Maca who was the team's strategist.

The other was "Mad Bear" Yaitan, a Maca mixed-blood, a burly man with a height of 2.35 meters. This person clearly showed outstanding fighting ability and was rescued by Mitai in a conflict, possibly someone with innate talent.

Chen Chuan thought about it. According to Ren Xiaotian's description, apart from this Yaitan, the individual martial prowess of these bandits was not actually high. They mainly relied on weapons and equipment in conflicts.

This was normal, because most people with higher martial prowess could do well in the city. Unless they had committed a crime and were wanted, and were of sound mind, how many would be willing to mingle in the wilderness like hyenas all day long? Although it could not be ruled out that some people were born to like it, it must be a very small minority.

He pondered again that if the Maca homeland was the supporter of this group, there should definitely be experts from Maca to facilitate the supervision of these wilderness bandits.

He discussed with Ren Xiaotian and Wei Chang'an, believing that this person should be about the same level as Du Ma, as for a higher level of martial prowess…

You should know that the entire country of Maca only had over one million people. Yangzhi City and its surrounding six counties and nearby villages and towns had a population of over ten million, ten times that of Maca. The general level of Wuyi teachers should also be around the Second Limit, and many teachers and assistants had not even reached this level.

After all, how high one could go depended on talent. Without talent, even with diligent training, very few people could break through the upper limit. Only with a large enough population base could there be enough talented people.

So, no matter how high their level, in Maca, they are national treasures. Losing even one is a loss. How could they be sent to other countries to do such tasks? Moreover, once such fighters put on protective gear and take up weapons, their destructive power is extremely high. As soon as they set foot on the land of Da Shun, they will definitely be noticed.

Actually, even if such people came, they still couldn't withstand the 'fortress-crushing' rifle, so there's no need to worry too much.

The road conditions in the wilderness are not good, especially since they also had to avoid some wandering convoys. Therefore, the convoy drove for more than three hours before reaching the vicinity of their destination.

Because the stronghold had a very open view, and the sound of vehicles at night was relatively clear, everyone got out of the car in advance when they were almost approaching, parked the vehicles in a sheltered area, left two technicians to guard them, and the rest walked there under the cover of night.

The wind in the wilderness was very strong, mixed with sand and gravel. Everyone wore scarves and masks. After slowly approaching, a camp appeared in their sight.

Ren Xiaotian and Wei Changan went to check the other two directions according to prior arrangements. Chen Chuan took out the prepared binoculars and looked around.

He found that the buildings in this camp were relatively messy and scattered, but the terrain was high, and he couldn't see the whole picture at a glance. Several bonfires were burning near the camp passage, and there were also lighting lamps provided by algae oil generator sets, which shone with starlight in the night.

The camp was surrounded by winding gullies, and a little further in were rope nets hanging with various metal fragments. There were two high, semi-open sentry towers on the north and south sides, and two shorter guard posts in front of the gate. From time to time, it seemed that figures could be seen moving around, who should be responsible for patrolling and guarding.

After observing for a while, Ren Xiaotian had already circled around and came back, and said to him: "There are two armed vehicles. They should all be there and haven't gone out."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Generally, this time is the peak of activity for such armed teams. Only a small number of people stay in the camp. If this is the case, it is simple, and they can be defeated one by one.

The current situation is not surprising. If there are important things to do in the next two days, they will definitely not go out to cause trouble. It is normal to stay in the camp.

For this kind of camp, direct attack is definitely not possible. They don't have enough manpower. Only by groping close and breaking in to fight can they exert their strengths.

Before that, the sentry tower guards need to be taken care of first.

After Wei Changan came back from the other side, Chen Chuan communicated with them, gathered everyone together and roughly explained the situation, and finally decided that he, Ren Xiaotian, Wei Changan, and Cai Si would sneak in first, try to deal with the people on the sentry tower first, and deal with the sentries as the situation dictates, and then let everyone else in.

If everything goes smoothly, then they will deal with the people in the camp step by step, while destroying the vehicles. Once exposed, they will throw smoke bombs and then launch an attack directly.

Chen Chuan looked around and said, "I'll take care of the slightly higher sentry tower on the north side. Senior Brother Ren, you take care of the one on the south side."

Ren Xiaotian nodded.

Chen Chuan said to Wei Changan and Cai Si: "The patrol point and sentries closest to the front will depend on Brother Wei and Brother Si to solve."

Wei Changan said with confidence: "As long as the people on the sentry tower above can be dealt with, the others are not difficult." Judging from the walking posture of the sentries, it is obvious that they are just ordinary people. With their speed and reaction ability, as long as they get close, there is absolutely no room for them to fight back.

Chen Chuan said: "Then let's prepare to start."

So they each took out a small box and began to apply ointment to their bodies. This oil has the effect of masking odors and is to prevent the possible existence of patrol dogs.

After preparing, the group dispersed.

Chen Chuan hung the Snow Monarch Saber on his back, slowly walked a few steps forward, and then rushed forward. Relying on the powerful alienized tissue in his body, he almost scurried forward close to the ground, and the speed was extremely fast.

Although some of the outer gullies looked very wide, he easily jumped over them with a light leap. When he jumped over, he could see that the bottom was filled with sharp thorns, mixed with a foul smell, judging that the people in the camp probably solved their daily needs in there.

In this process, he always kept himself in the dark. For the messy things scattered on the ground, including broken glass, metal nails, and things like cans, he avoided them if he could, and he was not afraid of being hurt if he couldn't avoid them. He just pressed his hand on them and passed, only the innermost layer was a little troublesome.

The rope net and barbed wire crisscrossed, with several layers in front and behind, leaving no gaps at all. It was covered with easy-to-ring objects and was very close to the edge, with almost no place to stand.

He thought for a while, jumped directly over, inserted his hand into the platform wall, and hung there, then gradually moved horizontally to the entrance of the front passage, then supported himself with his hand, tapped his foot, the campfire in the distance only swayed slightly, and he had already rushed in, and the sentries on the guard post at the door were completely unaware.

Chen Chuan quickly came to the inside of the camp, avoided the campfire and light source in front, carefully circled around, and came to the vicinity of the sentry tower. After waiting for a while, when he saw the person on the opposite sentry tower turn around, he immediately rushed out and silently climbed up within one or two breaths.

Then he put his hand on the doorknob, turned it, and walked in. The guard was carefully trimming his nails at the moment. He was stunned when he saw the door being pushed open. When he saw a stranger's figure, he immediately reacted, quickly picked up the pistol at hand, and aimed it at the front.

However, before he could pull the trigger, Chen Chuan had already stood in front of him, grabbed his wrist, and with just a light pinch, the wrist bone was crushed. The scream in his mouth did not have time to come out, and his head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, softly resting on the chair.

Chen Chuan glanced at his neatly trimmed nails and gave a comment, thinking of the terrible hygiene environment all the way: "This is a good habit."
