20: Substation History

“Dad, Mom, I never expected someone to be so devious, actually ambushing us at the extraction point!”

Li Wenzhe returned to the car and tearfully complained to his parents.

At this moment, he had put away his angry side, appearing very wronged and helpless.

“You must help me find out who did this!”

Li Wenzhe’s parents listened, their expressions full of surprise.

They had thought that Li Wenzhe might not have gathered enough 500,000 to extract this time.

They just hadn’t expected Li Wenzhe to fail the extraction!

One must know that the escorts they hired this time were GTI Diamond Level operatives.

This level ranks among the top 0.1% of experts worldwide.

Li Wenzhe’s parents had spent a lot of connections to find them for escorting.

Yet, such a powerful team, fully equipped, was wiped out at a small Dam No. 0 in Haibei City?

They found this situation utterly inconceivable.

In Haibei City, there shouldn't be any teams above Diamond Level, so who had such great capability?

“It’s fine, Wenzhe, it’s just small money that was lost.”

“Your mom is right, for the gear you lost, Dad will buy you another set.”

“If we failed this time, it means the mission for those two escorts isn’t over yet, we can try again next time.”

“Indeed, thinking about it that way, they can take you on two more runs, son, don’t be too sad.”

Li Wenzhe’s parents did not blame him; instead, they were very concerned.

Although Li Wenzhe lost over a million in the restricted area this time, and also lost a 500,000 extraction opportunity.

But for the Li family, these losses were negligible.

It was like an ordinary person dropping a one-yuan coin; they would only feel a little pity, not heartache for half a day.

“However, the person who dared to ambush my son must be found out.”

Li Chenshu said coldly.

As the current second-in-command of Leijian Group, the resources he could mobilize were second only to the elder Li Lei.

And now his own son was inexplicably ambushed by someone.

Not only did he lose a million-dollar set of gear, but he also lost a 500,000 extraction opportunity.

Li Chenshu swore he would investigate this matter thoroughly.

“Let’s go home first.”

After saying that.

Li Wenzhe’s family started the car and left the area.

......

“Whew—! I can finally take this set of gear off!”

Immediately upon returning to the entrance of Nine Warehouse, Lu Xueqing quickly took off the five sets.

“Master, can you help me carry them?”

“I’m already carrying so many things on me, how can I help you?”

Xiao Yun was speechless.

How much did Lu Xueqing dislike the five sets worn by foreigners?

However, these five sets really did stink; if a dog walked by and smelled them, it would probably foam at the mouth and keel over.

“Ew—you’ve got body odor on you!”

Xiao Yun leaned in and sniffed Lu Xueqing, then immediately pinched his nose.

Actually, it wasn't that exaggerated; Lu Xueqing still smelled fragrant, he was just teasing her on purpose.

As expected, it made Lu Xueqing’s small face turn red, looking as if she was about to cry.

“Hate, hate, hate!”

Lu Xueqing’s shy appearance was very cute, but Xiao Yun didn’t tease her anymore.

After all, the gear and supplies brought out still needed to be organized and sold at the Exchange.

And just at this moment.

Captain Wang and his group, whom they had met once before, slowly walked over.

“You guys are...”

Seeing the gear on Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing, especially the fully modified UZI hanging on Lu Xueqing’s backpack.

Captain Wang immediately frowned.

“Captain Wang, was it them who went back on their word and ambushed you?”

The reconnaissance team member who went in naked to check the drop rate asked.

“No, it wasn't them.”

Captain Wang shook his head, sizing up the two in front of him.

Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing were wearing the same school uniforms, just like Li Wenzhe.

However, the feeling they gave off was different from Li Wenzhe; there wasn't a hint of arrogance.

Captain Wang immediately ruled out the possibility of them working together.

“Master, do you know them?”

Lu Xueqing asked.

Seeing the aggressive look of the other party, she also took two steps back in fright.

“It’s fine, they’re not here to cause us trouble.”

Xiao Yun comforted Lu Xueqing, pulling her behind him.

At the same time, he also recalled what he had seen and heard in the previous match.

......

In the previous Confidential Dam.

Simply put, Li Wenzhe’s team and Captain Wang’s team encountered each other.

By the time Xiao Yun had finished looting the Visitor Center and arrived at the Substation, these two teams had already started their standoff, neither giving way.

And seeing the two teams about to clash, Xiao Yun also started to plan for a cleanup.

After both sides finished fighting, one team died, and when the other team was reviving teammates and healing, that would be Xiao Yun’s time to strike!

With two S-rank skill packs, Xiao Yun was fully confident he could achieve all of this.

However, what he didn’t expect was this.

As the two teams were in a standoff, they began to negotiate.

They planned to cooperate for mutual benefit, jointly dividing all the resources from this match.

This left Xiao Yun helpless!

If you guys aren’t fighting, what am I going to eat?

Am I supposed to charge in and eat bullets?

So, Xiao Yun lowered his footsteps, intending to stealthily leave.

However.

Just as he had circled to the outskirts of the Substation and was walking towards the Administrative District.

Intense gunfire suddenly erupted from the main building of the Substation!

There was no need to even think about this situation; someone had betrayed them!

When he saw Li Wenzhe’s team happily walking out of the Substation, Xiao Yun immediately understood everything.

This was also why he had told Lu Xueqing to be wary of Li Wenzhe.

This person was untrustworthy!

......

“Do you understand now?”

Xiao Yun recounted all this to Lu Xueqing.

And Lu Xueqing’s expression changed from curiosity, to confusion, then to anger.

“I never expected Li Wenzhe to be so untrustworthy!”

Besides being angry, she was also very grateful to Xiao Yun.

Thankfully, Xiao Yun had stopped her back then.

Otherwise, if she had gone out to greet Li Wenzhe, she would probably have been shot into a hornet’s nest in less than two seconds!

“Originally, I felt a little guilty for taking their gear, but now I don’t feel it at all.”

Lu Xueqing said with a smile.

“Looking at your gear, did you ambush and kill them?”

“That’s right, it can be considered revenge for you guys.”

Xiao Yun said with a faint smile.

Captain Wang sized up the two, his face full of disbelief.

These two were actually able to defeat a team with five sets of gear, and it was two against three?

Was this something humans could do?

“You guys actually killed them?”

“The value of what you brought out must be at least a million!”

“Ah, I’m so envious!”

Several team members led by Captain Wang all expressed their envy.

Being able to hunt down a team of five sets, the earnings would be at least three million!

And they were only two people, splitting three million.

The earnings from this one run were enough to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

As ordinary people, Captain Wang and his team were all very envious.

“But you guys need to be careful; given their personalities, they probably won’t let you off easily.”

Just then, Captain Wang reminded them.
