36: Human bait

“Buddy, I think your main problem is that you can’t get the rope hooked. How about finding someone to hang under your motorcycle and have that person hook it? Once it’s hooked, you can fly up quickly, and the alligators won’t be able to do anything,” Hou Jun, the young man, said in a deep voice, stroking his chin.

The others’ eyes lit up at his words; this method seemed feasible.

However, after a pause, Hou Jun continued, “I was in the military, and I’m pretty good with my hands, so I can go hook it. I just don’t know if your motorcycle can lift a person and a treasure chest.”

“It can!” Luo Chen nodded upon hearing this, indicating it was not a problem.

Three people sitting on it was fine; two people meant absolutely no pressure.

Hou Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Since that was the case, he only needed to consider one last problem: how to prevent the alligators from attacking him when he got close.

He added, “There’s one last problem: we need some food to distract the alligators. Someone needs to throw some meat to them.”

“Let me do it.”

At this moment, the previous white man stepped forward, a strange smile on his face: “Let me prepare the meat.”

Everyone’s food supply was not abundant; they barely had enough vegetables, let alone meat. Now that the white man offered to take charge, everyone was happy to see it happen.

However, just as everyone thought he was going back to get the meat...

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Five gunshots, and five bodies lay on the ground.

Luo Chen watched this scene, dumbfounded.

This is what you call meat?

Xue Shang and Hou Jun instantly aimed their guns at the white man, ready to fire if he made any sudden moves.

“Friends, don’t get agitated, don’t get agitated.” The white man smiled faintly, re-holstering his pistol at his waist. “There were too many people just now, not enough treasure chests to go around. Now, it’s just right.”

After speaking, he looked at Luo Chen, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said loudly, “Brother, can we start? I’m providing the meat, so I also want a treasure chest.”

Hou Jun looked at Luo Chen, asking for his opinion.

Luo Chen nodded and laughed loudly, “No problem, one for each person.”

Since the other party dared to act like this, he must have been confident, so there was no need to make a big fuss over unrelated people.

After speaking, he pointed at Xue Shang and added, “She’s my wife; we count as one person.”

Anyway, he wasn’t the one who died, and he wasn’t the one who killed them, so he had nothing to be bothered about.

It was good that there were fewer people now, so he wouldn’t have to worry about how to take the treasure chest back later.

With so many people guarding the area, Luo Chen didn’t believe they had no intention of snatching it. Since they were greedy, they would have to pay the price for their greed.

The tense situation was resolved, and Xue Shang and Hou Jun lowered their guns.

Luo Chen drove the flying motorcycle to the opposite side, throwing one end of the rope in front of Hou Jun and tying the other end to the vehicle.

After the young man tested the rope’s security, he jumped up, crossing his legs and hanging onto the rope.

“Buddy! I’m ready.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen controlled the motorcycle to fly upwards, and only after lifting the man a certain distance did he turn towards the center of the river.

“Foreigner, when I get close to the water, throw the bodies into the river.”

Looking at the alligators constantly raising their heads and looking up from the water, Hou Jun suppressed his inner fear and spoke to the white man on the shore.

“OK.” The white man came to the riverbank, holding a body in one hand, ready to cast the bait at any moment.

“Throw it!”

Hou Jun shouted loudly, locking his feet together, hanging upside down in the air like a golden hook.

He glanced at the alligators fighting over the bodies in the distance, then sharply swung the iron hook in his hand, pulling it upwards simultaneously. The hook firmly latched onto the treasure chest.

“Buddy! Fly up quickly!” Hou Jun shouted urgently.

Luo Chen accelerated, and the flying motorcycle pulled straight up.

By the time the alligators reacted, the treasure chest had already escaped their control.

Bang! The treasure chest landed next to Xue Shang, and the few people’s faces lit up with joy.

This method worked.

“This one’s for you first, the next one’s for me, and the last one’s for that foreigner,” Hou Jun said, exhaling heavily and smiling as he looked at the treasure chest on the ground.

“Also, beautiful lady, please throw these two bodies over there down too.”

Xue Shang nodded. She had also brought over the body of the Japanese person she had killed earlier; there were still five bodies left, which was enough.

Then, the four of them used the same method to retrieve the remaining two treasure chests.

“Brother. Your words saved their lives.” The white man took the treasure chest and shouted to Luo Chen, who was on the flying motorcycle in the sky. Then, he spoke into his watch: “Matilda, give up the sniping.”

Hou Jun looked terrified and quickly moved away from the white man, his eyes darting around.

He hadn’t expected there to be another sniper in this grassland.

A rustling sound came, and from the grass about ten meters behind the white man, a young girl stood up, holding a Barrett rifle and wearing a green ghillie suit.

“Friends, my name is Leon. Until we meet again.” After saying that, he left with the treasure chest and the girl.

“You knew about the girl’s existence?”

After Luo Chen landed the flying motorcycle, Hou Jun came up to him and asked curiously.

Luo Chen shook his head. He had only guessed that Leon had a defensive core similar to his own; he hadn’t expected a girl to be ambushed in the grass.

“I’m leaving. See you again if fate allows.” Hou Jun breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his treasure chest, and turned to leave.

“Let’s go back too.”

Luo Chen moved the treasure chest onto the motorcycle and called out to Xue Shang.

The once lively center of the grassland was now left with only five well-fed alligators leisurely sleeping... After bringing the treasure chest back to the Train, Luo Chen and Xue Shang went to the black Train on the third level to the left and right.

Through the Train window, Luo Chen saw two disheveled Japanese women hiding in a corner, their eyes filled with terror as they looked towards the Train door.

Looking at the two women, he felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen them before.

He knocked on the Train window, motioning for them to come and open the door.

But they reacted as if they had seen a monster, constantly backing away and shaking their heads frantically.

Luo Chen, helpless, had no choice but to turn around and call for the otaku young man.

Ran Feng was startled when he heard Luo Chen looking for him.

He had witnessed everything that happened in the center of the grassland through the Train window.

This was a true big shot who had emerged from the jaws of death; he couldn’t be provoked.

He hurriedly ran out of the Train, his face fawning, “Hello, big shot. My name is Ran Feng. Just tell me what you need.”

“Help me tell them to open the Train door; I want to merge with this Train.” Luo Chen brought him to the black Train and instructed.

Ran Feng looked into the Train upon hearing this, and after just one glance, his face lit up with joy.

“You know them?” Luo Chen asked curiously.
