73: Chapter 73 Unexpected

Chapter 73 Accident

"You two idiots, the other party was able to build such a camp in a short time, and you already knew they had a patrol team and experienced guys guarding it, how could you still rashly send people to lure zombies over?"

Zhou Lin looked at Liang Tao and Lai Kun, cursing out loud. The scar across his left cheek looked like a centipede, appearing even more ferocious when he was angry.

Lai Kun trembled with fear: "B-Boss, didn't we always do this before? We never saw those Shelters notice anything wrong——"

Zhou Lin snorted coldly: "Can those even be considered Shelters? The city walls are low, and they don't even have decent heavy weapons in their hands."

He gave Lai Kun a cold glance; with a person like this acting as a scout, something was bound to go wrong sooner or later.

"That's the new camp of Scarecrow Town. A guy like Zhao Kun would definitely carefully clean up the surrounding environment. Do you think three to four hundred zombies could gather naturally and precisely find the camp?"

Lai Kun's expression suddenly stiffened, and he shrank his head even lower, not daring to raise his head to look at the boss.

When a new camp is established, they usually sweep the surrounding area, and the monsters must have been cleared out once.

And Outpost Camp also established a patrol team, which meant that the number of monsters was continuously suppressed.

Relying solely on monsters wandering around the wasteland to approach on their own would never form such a large group of zombies in a short time.

This was the biggest flaw in their plan this time.

Liang Tao admitted his mistake in a deep voice: "Boss, it's my fault. What should we do now? The zombies have already been lured over, and it's too late to call them back."

"Since we've already begun, we must see it through."

Zhou Lin's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless light: "Gather the brothers to get to work. Second Brother, you take a team of brothers toward the direction of Fengyan Slope to cut off the connection between Scarecrow Town and that new camp. Absolutely do not let them come over to provide reinforcements."

"Rest assured, Big Brother, I won't let even a single fly get past them."

"Third Brother, come with me to surround that camp. I want to see what Zhao Kun and Fan Da have set up over there."

The roar of motor vehicles resounded through Ash Valley, and the entire Three Wolves Gang quickly went into action under Zhou Lin's command.

All of them picked up their weapons, one after another boarding off-road vehicles or trucks welded with armor.

More than a hundred people boarded the cars in a short time, their faces filled with the excitement of impending plunder.

Motorcycles led the way, and the headlights illuminated the entire Ash Valley as bright as day.

Zhou Lin sat in the car, his eyes gloomy and his brows tightly furrowed: "Let's go."

The headlights illuminated the convoy in Ash Valley, and the convoy quickly drove out of Ash Valley like a fire dragon.

Zhou Lin of the Three Wolves Gang was also a ruthless man, daring to travel late at night. You must know that such bright headlights were very likely to attract the prying eyes of other monsters on the wasteland.

Zhou Lin naturally knew the dangers of traveling at night, but he knew even better that if they went too late, Scarecrow Town might react, send troops to support the city defense, and by then, these people of theirs might not necessarily be able to capture it.

Third Brother Bai Shou, who was in the same car, saw Zhou Lin's gloominess and said: "Boss, set your mind at ease. No matter how powerful that Zhao Kun is, he is just a warrior who has broken limits twice. There are only two of them, and they can't guard two camps. At most, Zhao Kun will guard one, and Fan Da will guard the other. The three of us joining forces far surpasses the two of them."

"They won't fight us one-on-one," Zhou Lin shook his head. "Liang Tao and the others also said that the camp's earthen walls are four meters high, with corner towers and lookout slits. The defense is definitely not bad. It probably won't be that simple for us to take down this camp."

A vicious look flashed in Bai Shou's triangular eyes: "If a frontal assault can't take it down, then use bombs. Didn't we happen to get a rocket launcher last time? It would be good to try it here. Besides, they always need to eat. If we surround them and starve them for a while, they will be much easier to deal with."

Bai Shou didn't care. They didn't do forced city assaults very often, but cutting off water and food to besiege and kill Shelters was something they did frequently.

Among those Shelters on the wasteland, none of them had abundant food and unlimited ammunition. As long as they surrounded them, they had a hundred ways to force them to bow their heads.

Zhou Lin nodded, agreeing with this method in his heart. As long as the people didn't run away, they could be dealt with.

Three assembled cars in Outpost Camp were parked in the middle of the camp.

One off-road vehicle and two trucks were very simply assembled, without even welding some bulletproof steel plates. Originally, one of the trucks was planned to be assembled inside Vine Town.

But Wang Ting urgently needed a car to deal with the Three Wolves Gang, so they could only put this car outside for assembly.

It could be said that all the brothers of the Supplies Group responsible for maintenance did not sleep all night, and only then assembled the car before dawn.

Almost all members of the Combat Group withdrew from the temporary stronghold. The cafeteria building stronghold was temporarily closed, and only Qu Ling's squad was left at the residential area stronghold, while everyone else made combat preparations.

"Everything is ready."

The vehicles were ready, all firearms were checked, and everyone was fully equipped and ready to go. Dong Hu immediately came to report to Wang Ting.

"Then let's set out."

Wang Ting made a decisive decision and had everyone get into the cars.

The three cars slowly drove out of Outpost Camp and into the vast desert.

Under Wang Ting's command, there were only a total of 20 Combat Group members and 20 militiamen.

This time going out, they only brought 10 Combat Group members and 10 militiamen, while the rest stayed behind to guard the strongholds and Outpost Camp respectively.

The light cast by dawn chased the three cars, extending toward the northwest. The three cars ran at full throttle, heading northwest. Billowing dust rolled along as the cars traveled further, looking like a charging earthen dragon.

Guan Yue and Li Bo were both tied up in the car, hog-tied, with their hands and feet bound to the point where bloodstains were squeezed out.

They were dragged along to identify the specific location of the hideout. At this moment, seeing Wang Ting's expression, the two of them had long been restless and uneasy, afraid that some accident would happen. If they couldn't find Ash Valley, I'm afraid both of them would be chopped into pieces by Wang Ting and fed to the zombies.

A distance of thirty kilometers was not considered long. After driving seven or eight kilometers, the temperature on the wasteland had already risen, making people feel a hint of sultry heat even with the windows open.

Wang Ting frowned slightly. The Three Wolves Gang engaged in plundering year-round and were all cunning people. This time, their scouting methods were very crude. I'm afraid that once the three leaders knew, they would respond at the first moment, and there might be unexpected events.

"Keep driving west. When we reach the location of Skull Rock, we have to make a big detour and cannot go that way. We set up a hidden post there specifically to keep an eye on passing teams."

Li Bo told them one by one about the places where they set up hidden posts along the road. Not far ahead was the first hidden post, and further ahead were more hidden posts.

"You guys are really careful. Skull Rock is still more than ten kilometers away from Ash Valley."

Li Bo said carefully: "It was the idea of Deputy Boss Kang Quan."

Kang Quan.

Of the two names heard most often from Li Bo and Guan Yue, one was Zhou Lin, the leader of the Three Wolves Gang, and the other was Kang Quan, who ranked second.

The Three Wolves Gang's temporary camps with three caves like a cunning rabbit and the concealment of key supplies were all handled by Kang Quan. Even the setting of hidden posts was arranged by this person, showing that Kang Quan was also a tricky figure within the Three Wolves Gang.

Suddenly, a trace of vibration came from afar. Wang Ting's expression changed. This vibration was imperceptible, almost making people think it was an illusion. However, he was extremely decisive and resolutely ordered the convoy to stop: "Stop the car!"

The vehicle came to a sudden halt with a screech, and the people inside lurched forward directly. Li Bo and Guan Yue slammed hard against the front seats, grinning in pain.

Dong Hu, who was driving, asked in a deep voice: "Boss, what's wrong?"

Wang Ting jumped out of the car, placed his hand on the ground, and went to perceive more carefully.

The vibration in the distance was dense and continuous, and it was rapidly approaching here. It had already reached a position of about four hundred meters, right behind the slope directly ahead.

This sense of vibration was not a monster at all, but cars.

"Drive the car off the main road and hide it behind the side slope."

Wang Ting caught a glimpse of the low slope beside the road and decisively gave the order.

Although Dong Hu and the others were completely baffled, upon hearing Wang Ting's order, their expressions suddenly turned solemn, and they immediately turned the steering wheel to deviate from the main road.

They made a considerable detour directly, coming to the side and rear of the slope. The vehicles were completely hidden behind a slope, and the view of the main road happened to be blocked by the slope.

Wang Ting greeted the crowd: "Get out of the car and be on guard. Everyone lie on the slope for me, no making a sound, and gag the mouths of those two for me."

Dong Hu and the others' expressions tightened, immediately knowing that Wang Ting had discovered something. Following Wang Ting's instructions, they immediately gagged Guan Yue and Li Bo tightly.

All 20 members of the entire squad lay flat on the slope, pressing closely against it, not daring to make any sound.

Not long after they took cover, the figure of a car suddenly appeared on the uphill road in the distance.

Dong Hu's pupils shrank violently: "It's the Three Wolves Gang."
