Chapter 53 "Hyena" (Ask for recommendation votes)
The man holding the watermelon knife said "hey":
"Don't mention it, they were all forced over by the old bat, I kept telling him that if you wait a day, 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, but his logical reasoning ability told him that this would definitely damage the "brotherly relationship" between the two parties and make the other party feel confused - since they are brothers, how can 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 someone over there urging it!" Holding a watermelon knife and not a black pistol, the man rubbed his greasy hair, and said with a sad face, "Those guys will kill people if they don't say a good word, who dares to be perfunctory......"
"Those guys?" Shang Jianyao deliberately showed a puzzled expression, "How long has it been since I went back, and something happened?"
Although he really wanted to ask who those guys were, he still held back his temper.
The man holding the watermelon knife was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the brother opposite hadn't gone back for a while.
A few seconds later, he sighed again:
"Don't mention, since the 'hyenas' came, we haven't even slept in the ground! Several old people froze to death in the night."
When he said "hyena", he instinctively looked around, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"Hyena"...... Shang Jianyao turned his head sideways and looked at Jiang Baimian to see if the experienced team leader had heard of this nickname.
Jiang Baimian's expression became a little calmer, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"Fucking 'hyena'!" Shang Jianyao deliberately burst into foul language.
The man with the watermelon knife seemed to want to curse a few words, but in the end he still didn't dare and said unhappily:
"He has no mother."
Speaking of this, the man who couldn't see the specific age said reminiscingly:
"At that time, I was only a teenager, and the 'hyena' had not yet become a robber.
"I heard that the fucking was eaten by a group of people who came over from nowhere."
Shang saw that Yao'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 people around them.
This is also a discriminatory term.
"No." The man with the watermelon knife shook his head, "Those rat people have been here for decades. Before I was born, they came over, and they were good at collecting and digging, they could find everything, eat everything, not the kind that wandered around."
Shang Jianyao was silent for a few seconds and said:
"What are the hyenas doing here?"
"Yes, I said that I found something at Yuelu Station. The old bat asked, the person of the 'hyena' is not clear, and someone is being sent to investigate." After the man with the watermelon knife said the word "investigation", he suddenly remembered his task, and suddenly became sad again, "I don't know what's wrong here, if I don't report the results today, the 'hyena' people may throw me to feed the dog."
"Dog?" Shang Jianyao asked subconsciously.
The man with the watermelon knife spat out phlegm:
"The 'hyena' has a very fierce dog, just like his own son!
"He always said that we were useless, and no one won his dog one-on-one, so it would be better to feed the dog."
After complaining, the man asked expectantly:
"Brother, what did you find here?"
"Nothing." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully, "The people who set off fireworks before had already withdrawn and left nothing!"
"I see...... So what fireworks do they set off? Belch...... What kind of 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 was running away:
"Who knows?
"Just go back, if the 'hyena' doesn't believe it, let him send someone to investigate himself.
"By the way, I scared that brother just now, you will catch up with him and help me explain."
"Let's go." The man with the watermelon knife patted his chest, "When will you come back?"
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon." The corners of Shang Jianyao's mouth curled up a little, "Remember to tell the old bat that we will visit the 'hyena' when we come back."
"Visiting ......" The man with the watermelon knife suddenly noticed something was wrong, but after looking at the grenade gun held by Shang Jianyao and the assault rifle carried by Jiang Baimian, he wisely gave up thinking.
He quickly turned around and waved his hand:
"I hope to see you again."
"I hope to see you again." Shang Jianyao waved his hand enthusiastically in response.
After watching the man with the watermelon knife disappear at the end of the road, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"What? Do you still want to pestle in the middle of the road, for fear that others won't see it?"
There is no intact and formed road between the hills and hills, but as more people walk, a main road is naturally formed.
As he spoke, Jiang Baimian turned to a more hidden place on the side of the hill.
Shang Jianyao followed, first exchanged weapons with the team leader, and then asked:
"Who is the 'hyena'?"
Jiang Baimian said "heh":
"A well-known bandit leader in the Kuronuma Wilderness, he usually mainly works on the side of the 'White Knights'.
"He became famous more than ten years ago, and he was not very old at the time, so now he has to put a question mark on whether he is over thirty.
"His gang of bandits has grown little by little, from the first three or four people, four or five guns, to now there are seventeen or eighteen core members, with abundant firepower and not weak equipment. Some people suspect that the "hyena" has mastered an arsenal of an old world, which is why it can develop so quickly.
"If it weren't for him not occupying better mines and fields, he would definitely have more than seventeen or eighteen core subordinates now, but at least two or three hundred people. This can establish a large settlement that belongs to him, similar to the kind of Weed City, and then, consider which big force to be won over, and then have a guarantee from now on, or be an influential small force left and right.
"Hehe, it may also be that the 'hyena' thinks that raising hundreds or thousands of people is too hard, managing the city is too troublesome, and he usually has to be angry with the big forces, which is far worse than being a robber, so he maintains the current scale.
"Ah, by the way, his real name is Lin Li."
Shang Jianyao listened carefully and summarized:
"The suspicion is great, and there are more people than we expected."
There are nearly twenty core members alone, and there are at least hundreds of vassals under the umbrella.
"They even have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and bazookas." Jiang Baimian added, "However, they should not have military exoskeleton devices, bionic intelligent armor, Gaussian weapons, plasma weapons, etc., it seems that even if the rumors are true, the arsenal held by the 'hyena' is also general-purpose and does not have high-precision things."
Seeing that Shang Jianyao was silent, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"With the current strength of our 'Old Tune Team', in the case of a sneak attack, there is indeed a lot of hope to defeat this bandit group. Those vassals who will not really work for the 'hyena', as long as they do not give the 'hyena' a chance to supervise the team.
"However, with the quality of their members and weapons and equipment, we must be prepared to die at least half of them."
Saying that, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at the outside of the hidden place:
"Besides, there may not be a chance to sneak attack.
"You actually let that wild wanderer go back just now, aren't you worried that he changed his environment and noticed something unusual?
"Aren't you worried about him reporting it and letting the 'hyena' guess that there are awakened people on our side?"
"What if not? Kill him?" Shang Jianyao responded with an unchanged expression.
"It's really soft-hearted." Jiang Baimian sneered, "Me too. People like us, who were born with great forces and have never experienced various disputes in chaotic times, are always easy to soften."
She turned to say:
"But if you really want to sneak attack, you can control the wilderness wanderer first and let him go after the matter is over.
"You shouldn't have thought that you have always been wary of when your abilities will fail."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"To sum up, you have given up the idea of attacking that bandit gang on your own.
"What a good friend!"
"It's still uncertain whether it's the 'hyena' group." Shang Jianyao responded expressionlessly, "Wait for the company to send someone."
"Good idea!" Jiang Baimian smiled and praised.
Shang Jianyao looked left and right, suddenly frowned, and asked:
"Team leader, what do you think the 'hyena' gang will react to when they hear the report?"
"I have never dealt with them, so it is difficult to make a judgment. However, it can be seen from the nickname 'Hyena' that that group of people are good at bullying the less with the more, good at following and following, and good at sneak attacks from behind. Jiang Baimian replied thoughtfully, "Anyway, there are no more than two types of responses:
"One is to reverse search this area before the company's large forces come, kill us investigators, and erase the corresponding traces, but this must take into account that the emergency flare itself is a trap, waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap.
"Second, immediately leave the vassals who are being held captive here and transfer with the core members. They don't have many people, and they have enough transportation, and they have also obtained a lot of supplies from Black Rat Town, and their actions are definitely not as slow and slow as the large army, and there are too many areas to hide in the major wilderness.
"After figuring out who the enemy is, we will move around 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 reverse, you dare to wear an exoskeleton device and break each one?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao's response, the tall woman with a ponytail smiled:
"How could I give you such an opportunity?
"Obviously I'm here!"
She immediately changed her subject:
"But I think it's more likely that the 'hyenas' didn't react at all."
"Why?" Shang Jianyao was quite puzzled.
Jiang Baimian restrained most of his smiles:
"The vassals and 'hyenas' who are forcibly coerced may not be of the same mind.
"They wish there was a big force to beat the 'hyena' away, anyway, the worst is to be captured as a slave, how can it be better than cannon fodder for 'hyenas', and if there is really a fierce battle, they have enough chance to escape.
"If that old bat is smart, he knows what to report and what to hide."
Shang Jianyao listened thoughtfully and nodded slowly.
The two stopped discussing and continued to observe their surroundings, but they did not find any suspicious people.
When it was almost time to eat, they ended their operation and returned to the 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, brought the "Berserker" assault rifle, and took over the night duty mission.
After patrolling around, he looked down.
Here you can see the grove and the blocked entrance to Black Rat Town.
Under the dim, extremely quiet night, a stone at the cave suddenly fell.
