76: Chapter 76 Looting

Chapter 76 Looting

Wang Ting looked like a deity descending to the mortal realm, crushing the Three Wolves Gang's motorcade with irresistible force.

Dong Hu and Feng Bo led the Guard Team members to provide suppressive fire from high ground, leaving the Three Wolves Gang members with absolutely no room to resist, not even able to pull away and escape.

Seeing these notorious evildoers of the area kneeling on the ground one by one, the squad members quickly descended from the slope, their faces brimming with undisguised excitement.

This was a sweeping victory they had never dared to imagine. Under Wang Ting's leadership, their group of over a dozen people didn't even suffer a single injury, something completely unimaginable in the past.

"Sort and pack the firearms properly, unload the bullets, and seal everything up. Huang Han, take your men and tie all these people up securely. I'll have another group check the ropes later. Also, gag their mouths and don't let them communicate privately, especially their leader and captains."

While leading his men to clear the battlefield and inspect the captured weapons and supplies, Dong Hu ordered Huang Han and the others to control the surrendered Three Wolves Gang members.

Excluding those who died in the battle, a total of 117 members of the Three Wolves Gang were still alive. Each of them hung their heads in panic, terrified that Wang Ting would execute them on the spot.

"Captain, I've checked. Out of the six vehicles, two were damaged by the anti-materiel sniper rifle. The first off-road vehicle can still be repaired and barely driven, but the second one will have to be towed back."

The two cars were hit in different spots. Zhou Lin had simply hidden behind the car door, and the bullet pierced through both doors, specifically hitting the upper part near the window.

Therefore, even though it looked quite damaged, it didn't actually affect its use; it just needed some repairs.

But the one Kang Quan was hiding in was different.

He was hiding in the front area of the cockpit closer to the hood. A single shot from the corpse hound sniper rifle pierced straight through, blowing the engine, steering wheel, and other pipelines to smithereens. This wasn't a matter of whether it could be repaired anymore, but rather how to dismantle it once towed back.

"Then tow it back."

Wang Ting didn't dwell on these trivial matters and asked, "What's the general condition of the weapons?"

"150 rifles, submachine guns, and pistols, around 3,700 rounds of ammunition, plus one rocket launcher, three rockets, and 10 grenades."

Reciting the weapon haul, Dong Hu felt both pleasantly surprised and lingering fear. If these items had been used against the Outpost Camp, it probably would have given them a hard time.

As expected of fellows who licked blood off their blade edges; even Scarecrow Town's hundred-man armed force didn't possess so many weapons.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Wang Ting's face with a burst of joy. Robbery really was the fastest way to get rich; no wonder the Three Wolves Gang liked doing this.

At this moment, Dong Hu had some misgivings. Hesitating for a moment, he said, "The Three Wolves Gang prisoners are a bit too many. We still have to go to Ash Valley to find their lair, which might be a bit troublesome. Should we split our forces to send some people back to be locked up? Taking only the leader and a few captains for interrogation at any time would be more convenient, wouldn't it?"

Although they captured quite a few vehicles, they also required manpower to drive them and keep an eye on the prisoners. Staying outside for too long might easily lead to accidents.

"Take Bai Shou and their few minor captains. Send everyone else back, lock them up, and do not untie them until I return."

Dong Hu nodded in agreement and, following Wang Ting's instructions, immediately loaded the captured personnel onto the vehicles.

The prisoners were tied up very tightly. They also inspected all the prisoners from head to toe to ensure they weren't hiding any knives on them.

Feng Bo, Huang Han, and a few other Guard Team members were responsible for the escort.

About half an hour later, the grand convoy drove away from the site of this sudden encounter, kicking up rolling yellow sand and leaving behind pools of blood all over the ground.

Remaining were Wang Ting and his group's original three cars, but three motorcycles had been added to the entourage to serve as scouts.

The group of more than a dozen people headed straight for Ash Valley. This time, the road was peaceful; although they occasionally saw wandering monsters, they did not attack the convoy.

After driving a dozen kilometers, a tall yellowish-brown rock caught Wang Ting's eyes.

As the vehicles climbed the slope, more weathered rocks appeared before him one after another, like trees standing upright on the vast earth.

In Ash Valley, the gravel and dust were finer and more fragmented, and the terrain increasingly resembled a desert. As soon as they approached, a dry wind blew over, carrying a large amount of yellow sand straight at the car windows.

At a glance, Ash Valley looked the same everywhere: weathered rocks, gravel, and endless yellow land.

Dong Hu slapped Li Bo on the head. "Show the way!"

"Walk forward about five hundred meters and there is a black weathered rock. That's the marker. Turn right here and go another eight hundred meters, and you'll find our camp."

Li Bo, who had already surrendered, saw that the Three Wolves Gang had been completely wiped out, and now he sold out his own people even more eagerly.

He no longer had any worries about the future; what he was thinking now was how to truly gain a foothold in the Outpost Camp and how to securely latch onto Wang Ting's coattails.

According to Li Bo's instructions, the three cars quickly drove into Ash Valley.

After turning a few times, they found that inconspicuous black weathered rock.

Continuing inward from the black weathered rock, the forest of weathered rocks became denser and more numerous, making it easier for people to lose their way.

Suddenly reaching a low stone forest area, a peculiar stone wall abruptly appeared before everyone.

The stone wall was composed of loess, planks, and weathered rocks, standing only two or three meters high. It fenced off a natural weathered rock valley, leaving only one gate for vehicles to enter.

"Who goes there?!"

As soon as they approached, the three cars were spotted by the people left behind, who immediately questioned them out loud.

Without waiting for Wang Ting to speak, Dong Hu had already raised his rifle and shot the person shouting with a "bang".

The gunshot echoed in Ash Valley, scaring the remaining Three Wolves Gang members into quickly ducking their heads and hiding behind cover.

"Open the door! Otherwise, we'll kill all of you in a moment! Look who this is?"

Dong Hu kicked Bai Shou out of the vehicle with one kick. When the few people hiding in the camp saw who it was, they were immediately scared out of their wits.

Bai Shou had been captured as the deputy leader, so what about Boss Zhou and the others?

Soon after, several captains were also kicked out of the car one by one, looking extremely pathetic. One of the captains even had a fractured hand bone, letting out a series of wails.

Seeing this scene, they completely panicked, and ominous thoughts instantly arose.

Afraid that everyone who rushed out this morning had met with an accident, otherwise so many people wouldn't have been captured.

There were only four people left behind in total, and one had already been shot dead. How could they dare to hold out stubbornly now?

"I surrender! We'll open the gate right now, don't shoot!"

The gate slowly opened, and Wang Ting led his crowd inside.

The so-called camp was an area fenced off relying on weathered rocks. There weren't many buildings inside; wooden houses were built against the weathered rocks, or tents were simply used instead.

This place wasn't large in space, but it was sufficiently concealed and safe.

The tall weathered rocks formed a natural city wall. It was almost impossible for outsiders to accidentally stumble upon this Shelter in Ash Valley.

"Where are the supplies kept?"

Dong Hu gave a kick to the minor captain named Zheng Zhong.

Zheng Zhong let out a muffled grunt, his gaze falling on the gun in Dong Hu's hand. Not daring to resist, he pointed to the innermost location and said, "Behind the three leaders' wooden houses, there is a warehouse."

Dong Hu strode forward, bypassing the three houses in the center, and sure enough, behind them was an even larger wooden house.

The wooden house was built against a protruding weathered rock, with only one wall constructed of wood, while the rest were actually subterranean caves and rocks.

He pushed the door open and entered. The entire house was filled with wooden boxes and burlap sacks, piled up to a person's height, as thick and solid as a wall.

Dong Hu randomly opened a box and a sack to take a look, unable to help drawing a sharp breath of cold air.

One box contained about twenty or thirty rifles and several pistols, and another box was filled to the brim with bullets.

In addition, some boxes contained sealed energy blocks, while others were filled with wheat and rice packed in burlap sacks.

Seeing these things, Dong Hu could no longer suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.

But these alone were already equivalent to a small half of Scarecrow Town's reserve supplies, especially in terms of weapons and equipment.

"Count the supplies, load them all onto the trucks, and don't leave them a single thing. This place is ruined from now on."

Dong Hu called out to his subordinates to continuously tally the supplies, turning out everything hidden in secret corners.

Counting to the end, he suddenly realized something was wrong, frowned, and immediately found Wang Ting: "Captain, there are no supernatural materials among the supplies."

Hearing this, Wang Ting frowned slightly, knowing that Zhou Lin and the others must have another hiding place.

"Drag Bai Shou over here."

Bai Shou was roughly dragged in front of Wang Ting by Dong Hu. At this moment, because his scapula had been pierced by a thorn, Bai Shou had lost a lot of blood, and his face had turned even paler.

Facing Wang Ting, he couldn't help but feel fear rising in his heart, lowering his head even further.

"Where did you three brothers hide the real good stuff? Aside from this temporary stronghold, what other dens do you have?"

"Ash Valley is the largest temporary stronghold, and almost all our supplies have been moved here. There is also an evacuation spot in the south and one in the north, along with some food and firearms, but the quantities are very small."

Bai Shou did not dare to conceal anything. Only when mentioning the hiding place of the important supplies did he pause, testing the waters by saying, "I can tell you where the important supplies are placed. Can you spare my life? I am willing to submit to Scarecrow Town."

Bang.

Wang Ting raised his hand and fired a shot. The bullet grazed Bai Shou's ear and landed on the sandy ground beside him. The splashing sand grains hit Bai Shou's body, causing a sharp pain.

"Are you bargaining with me?"

Bai Shou was startled into a shiver: "I wouldn't dare, I just want to stay alive. The items are in a stone cave beneath a huge rock deep inside Ash Valley. The materials we prepared to trade for supernatural potion ingredients are all there, and an enhancement potion is, is, is also there."
