The man with the watermelon knife said "hey":
"Don't mention it, they were all forced by the old bat. I kept telling him, wait a day, wait a day, and he just won't listen!"
Jiang Baimian subconsciously wanted to ask who the old bat was, but after opening his mouth, he closed it rationally.
In fact, Shang Jianyao also planned to ask this question, but his logical reasoning ability told him that this would definitely damage the "brotherhood" between the two parties, and make the other party feel suspicious - since they are brothers, how could they not know who the old bat is
He laughed:
"Old bat... why is he in such a hurry?"
"What can he do? It's not that someone is urging him over there!" The man with the watermelon knife and the black pistol rubbed his greasy hair, and said with a frown, "Those guys will kill if they don't say a word. Who dares to perfunctory..."
"Those guys?" Shang Jianyao deliberately showed a puzzled expression, "I haven't gone back for a long time, and something happened?"
Although he wanted to directly ask who those guys were, he still held back his temper.
The man who carried the watermelon knife was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that the brother on the opposite side had not gone back for a while.
After a few seconds, he sighed again:
"Don't mention it, since the 'hyenas' came, we haven't even slept in the ground! Several old people froze to death at night."
When it came to "hyena", he instinctively looked around, as if afraid of being overheard.
"Hyena"... Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Jiang Baimian to see if the experienced team leader had heard of this nickname.
Jiang Baimian's expression was condensed for a bit, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"Fuck the 'hyena'!" Shang Jianyao deliberately exclaimed.
The man who carried the watermelon knife seemed to want to curse a few words, but in the end he didn't dare, and said sullenly:
"He doesn't have a mother."
Speaking of which, the man whose appearance does not show a specific age said in recollection:
"I was a teenager at the time, and the 'hyena' was not yet a bandit.
"I heard that his mother was eaten by a bunch of people who came from nowhere."
Shang Jianyao's eyebrows moved slightly, and he blurted out:
"Did the Rat Man do it?"
He knew from Jiang Baimian that the residents of Black Rat Town were called "rat people" by the surrounding humans.
It is also a discriminatory term.
"No." The man with the watermelon knife shook his head, "The rat people have been here for decades. They came here before I was born, and they are good at gathering and digging. They can find everything and everything. Eating, not the kind that wanders around."
Shang Jianyao was silent for a few seconds and said:
"'Hyena' what are they doing here?"
"Say yes, say there is something found at Yuelu Station. The old bat asked, but the 'hyena' person is not clear, and is sending someone to investigate." The man with the watermelon knife said the word "investigation", suddenly Recalling his mission, he suddenly became frowning again, "I don't know what's wrong here. If I don't report the results today, the 'hyena' people might throw me to feed the dogs."
"Dog?" Shang Jianyao asked subconsciously.
The man carrying the watermelon knife spat:
"'Hyena' has a very fierce dog, just like his own son!
"He still always said we were useless and nobody won his dog one-on-one, so why don't we feed it to the dog."
After complaining, the man asked expectantly:
"Brother, what did you find here?"
"Nothing." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully, "The people who set off the fireworks earlier withdrew, leaving nothing behind!"
"Is that so... Then what fireworks did they set off? Uh... What signal flare did the old bat say?" The man with the watermelon knife seemed to want to return.
Shang Jianyao glanced at the direction in which the man with the baseball bat fled:
"Who knows
"Just go back like this, if the 'hyena' doesn't believe it, let him send someone to investigate.
"By the way, I scared that brother just now. You will catch up with him later and explain it to me."
"Okay." The man with the watermelon knife patted his chest, "When will you be back?"
"It's coming soon." Shang Jianyao's mouth twitched slightly, "Remember to tell the old bat that we will visit the 'hyena' when we turn back."
"Visit..." The man who brought the watermelon knife suddenly realized that something was wrong, but he looked at the grenade gun that Shang Jianyao was carrying and the assault rifle that Jiang Baimian was carrying, and wisely gave up thinking.
He turned around quickly and waved his hand:
"I wish to see you again."
"I hope to see you again." Shang Jianyao responded enthusiastically with a wave of his hand.
After watching the man carrying the watermelon knife disappear at the end of the road, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"What? You still want to stick in the middle of the road, for fear that others won't see it?"
There is no well-established and formed road between hills and hills, but when there are many people walking, a road is naturally formed.
While speaking, Jiang Baimian turned to a relatively hidden place on the side of the hill.
Shang Jianyao followed and exchanged weapons with the team leader before asking:
"Who is 'hyena'?"
Jiang Baimian made a "heh":
"A fairly well-known leader of robbers in the Black Marsh Wilderness, his main activity is usually on the side of the 'White Knights'.
"He was famous more than ten years ago, when he was not too old, there is still a question mark about whether he is over 30 now.
"His gang of robbers has grown a little bit. From the initial three or four people, four or five guns, to the core members of No. 17 and 18, the firepower is abundant and the equipment is not weak. Some people suspect that the 'hyena' has mastered some old world. arsenal, so it can develop so fast.
"If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't occupy better mines and fields, he would definitely not only have seventeen or eight core men, but could at least expand to two or three hundred people. This would allow him to establish a large settlement that belongs to him, similar to weeds. City kind, and then, consider which big force to win over, and have a guarantee from now on, or both sides, to be an influential small force.
"Hehe, maybe it's because the 'hyena' thinks raising hundreds or thousands of people is too hard, managing the city is too troublesome, and usually has to suffer from the anger of the big forces, it is far better than being a robber, so it maintains the current scale.
"Ah, yes, his real name is Lin Li."
Shang Jianyao listened carefully and concluded:
"The suspects are very large, and there are more people than we expected."
There are nearly twenty core members alone, and there are at least hundreds of vassals.
"They even have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers." Jiang Baimian added, "However, they should not have military exoskeleton devices, bionic intelligent armor, Gauss weapons, plasma weapons, etc. It seems that even if the rumors are true Yes, the arsenal held by the 'hyena' is also general-purpose, and there is no sophisticated thing."
Seeing Shang Jian Yao was silent, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"With the current strength of our 'old tune group', in the case of a sneak attack, there is indeed a lot of hope that this robber group can be destroyed. Those vassals will not really work for the 'hyena', as long as they do not give the 'hyena' the superintendent The team has a chance.
"However, with the quality of their members and weapons, we have to be prepared to kill at least half of them."
Saying that, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at the hidden place:
"Besides, there may not be a chance for a sneak attack.
"You actually just let the wilderness wanderer go back, don't you worry that he changed the environment and noticed the abnormality
"Don't worry about him reporting it and letting the 'hyena' guess that there are awakened ones on our side?"
"Or else? Kill him?" Shang Jianyao responded with the same expression.
"It's really soft-hearted." Jiang Baimian sneered, "Me too. People like us who were born with big forces and haven't experienced all kinds of disputes in the chaotic era are always easy to be soft-hearted."
She turned and said:
"But if you really want to make a sneak attack, you can control the wilderness wanderer first, and let him go after the matter is over.
"You shouldn't have thought about this, you've always been vigilant about when your abilities will fail."
Having said this, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"To sum up, you have given up the idea of attacking that gang of robbers on your own.
"What a good friend!"
"It's still not certain that it's the 'hyena' group." Shang Jianyao responded expressionlessly, "Wait for the company to send someone."
"Good idea!" Jiang Baimian praised with a smile.
Shang Jianyao looked around, frowned suddenly, and asked:
"Team leader, you said, what would the reaction of the 'hyena' group be when they heard the report?"
"I've never dealt with them, so it's hard to make a judgment. But, as you can see from the nickname 'hyena', that group of people are good at bullying the less, they are good at stalking, and they are good at sneak attacking from behind, although they are fierce , Cruel, but definitely not crazy, not reckless, ah, I said casually, I can't be sure, I have to go back to Bai Chen for confirmation." Jiang Baimian answered thoughtfully, "Anyway, there are only two ways to deal with it:
"One is to search this area in reverse before the company's main force comes over, kill us investigators, and erase the corresponding traces, but this must take into account that the emergency signal bomb itself is a trap, waiting for the possibility of them throwing themselves into the net. .
"Second, immediately leave the vassals that are trapped here and transfer with the core members. They are not many, and they have enough transportation. They also got a lot of materials from Black Rat Town, and their actions are definitely not big. The troops are so procrastinated and slow, and there are too many areas to hide in the great wilderness.
"When you figure out who the enemy is, then move around to other major forces and change the area of the robbery."
Seeing Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, Jiang Baimian deliberately hummed:
"Are you thinking that if they dare to search in the opposite direction, you will dare to wear an exoskeleton device and defeat each of them?"
Before waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, the tall woman with a ponytail showed a smile:
"How could I give you such a chance
"Obviously it's me!"
She immediately changed the conversation:
"But I think it's more likely that the 'hyena' gang doesn't respond at all."
"Why?" Shang Jianyao was quite puzzled.
Jiang Baimian restrained most of his smiles:
"The vassals and 'hyenas' who have been forcibly taken over may not be of one mind.
"They are eager to have a big force to drive the 'hyena' away. Anyway, the worst thing is to be caught as a slave, which is better than being a 'hyena' cannon fodder. Moreover, there is a fierce battle, and they have enough opportunities to escape.
"If that old bat was smart, he would know what to report and what to hide."
Shang Jianyao listened thoughtfully and nodded slowly.
The two stopped discussing and continued to observe the surroundings, but no suspicious people were found.
When it was almost time for dinner, they ended their operation and returned to their hidden camp on the hill.
After a day of silence, in the middle of the night, Shang Jianyao, who was sleeping in the tent, was woken up by Long Yuehong, took the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle and took over the night duty.
After patrolling around, he cast his gaze down.
Here you can directly see the grove and the blocked entrance of Black Rat Town.
Under the dim, extremely quiet night, a stone in the cave suddenly fell.
