Chapter Summary
Liu Ning's perception was exceptional, so he knew that there were still people nearby who hadn't left. They specifically hide from people like him outside the city because members of powerful families are always looking for a reputation and will often target them. Now that he is injured, Wei Xiong's side only has 80% of its fighting strength, and two warrior apprentices have also died, so their fighting strength has dropped drastically.
Seeing these people leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had just been standing on the edge of death; a slight misstep could have cost them all their lives.
"you…"
Just as Fang Qiang was about to speak, Liu Ning quickly covered his mouth.
Liu Ning's perception was exceptional, so he knew that there were still people nearby who hadn't left. Those people were probably still unwilling to give up, after all, the things Liu Ning had revealed were worth tens of millions. If they could make a quick buck, they could also enjoy themselves in the city for a while. So he had to confirm it first.
"These people are so cowardly, why would they become thieves? In my experience, to become a thief, you have to be brave and willing to fight. The old steward and the others hid so well that we didn't even notice them. I was thinking that if these people attacked, we could coordinate with the old steward and the others to wipe them out. Then I could have the elders of the family apply to the garrison headquarters. Maybe I could even get a medal, which would make me look good in front of the little sister!"
Liu Ning spoke in a moderate volume. If he spoke too loudly, the other person might think he was doing it on purpose, which would raise suspicions. His current voice was a normal speaking voice, which made the other person think it was more realistic.
Just as Liu Ning had expected, the bandit leader was listening nearby. After hearing what Liu Ning said, the guy looked nervous and left as quickly as possible.
He knew, of course, the strength of those old stewards. To be able to protect the young masters of large families in the wild, they must be at least at the level of high-level warriors. Defeating people like them would be a piece of cake for them.
When Liu Ning heard no other sounds around him, he realized that everyone had left, including the other groups of thieves. Their strength was not as good as the previous group!
Now they hear that Liu Ning is actually a member of a powerful family. They specifically hide from people like him outside the city because members of powerful families are always looking for a reputation and will often target them.
Seeing Liu Ning sit down on the ground, the tense nerves of these people relaxed. Everyone was lying on the ground, realizing that they had just been in danger of being wiped out.
If Liu Ning hadn't reacted quickly enough, these people might all be corpses by now. These thieves weren't so ethical; they would never leave anyone alive.
"Get up quickly, it's not safe here yet. Who knows what those guys are thinking? Let's hurry back to the base city, that's where it's safe."
After waiting for everyone to rest for a minute, Zhang Chu got everyone up. He was talking about something important, in case there were any other dangers around.
Now that he is injured, Wei Xiong's side only has 80% of its fighting strength, and two warrior apprentices have also died, so their fighting strength has dropped drastically. They can't afford any more danger now and have to go back as quickly as possible.
Quickly pack everything up. We can't take care of the two brothers who died now. We can't bring your bodies back. That's basically how it is in the wild.
Of course, the gathering point will provide a certain amount of compensation for those who die in the line of duty.
Ordinary patrol members are paid 10,000 yuan, and soldiers and apprentices should be paid more. Originally, there was no money, but now, in addition to the belongings of the dead, they should be paid double when they return.
Including the livelihood of their families, they will be given 3,000 yuan every month from now on, which is a right that all soldiers and apprentices should have.
Five minutes later, everyone was ready and ran quickly toward the city wall. They drove very fast. Although they encountered some ferocious beasts, they did not come over because they saw how fast the group was running.
"Look, there are patrol members ahead."
We've finally made it back. After going through countless hardships, we saw the patrolling people below the city wall, which means we've entered close range.
It's relatively safe now. The patrol officers all have alarms on them, so no thieves will operate here unless they're suicidal.
"They're our people..."
It was quite a coincidence that when they were almost at the city gates, they saw that these patrolmen were actually from our gathering point. The odds of that happening were smaller than seeing a ghost, but we actually ran into them.
"The controller..."
"Captain Fang..."
The patrol team also spotted them, mainly because they recognized Wei Xiong's car, so they all swarmed around them.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened in the past 24 hours. If there had been a ferocious beast rampaging, without Wei Xiong, these people would probably all have died here.
Only two team members are currently missing. Although there have been some losses, they are within a manageable range.
Seeing that all the powerful figures had returned safely, everyone wept. If these powerful figures hadn't returned, they would have had no hope, and the entire gathering point would have been doomed.
Zhang Chu's situation wasn't good. Two of his apprentice warriors had died, and even Li Tie was unable to fight with his right hand. Without apprentice warriors to lead the team for a while, Zhang Chu didn't know what to do, so he thought of the merger plan again.
Zhang Chu roughly estimated that if there had been no merger, they could only hold on for a month at most, and even after the money was distributed, they wouldn't last more than three months.
We need to find a way to cooperate with Wei Xiong, otherwise we'll have no way out. We can't let the gathering point be destroyed in our own hands.
“Old Wei, have you thought about what I said? You’ve seen our situation here; there’s basically no way out. I know we’re all just a burden and can’t bring anything to the new settlement. But I’m a capable person, a soldier after all. I can go hunting in the future. As long as you help me keep an eye on them, I can give all the game I catch to the settlement for free.”
After the theft incident, Zhang Chu was very depressed, so he wanted to make a greater contribution, which could be considered as an attempt to atone for his sins.
If he hadn't insisted so strongly, everything would have been shipped, and they wouldn't have encountered the thieves. His two warrior apprentices wouldn't have lost their lives. He bears a great deal of responsibility for the current situation. Seeing him like this, Wei Xiong really couldn't bear to refuse.
