“Han the Great, what should we do now?” Boss Luo asked in a low voice.
“Cover them with firepower!” Han the Great sneered, “There are only a few building ruins. Just drive over there, four vehicles with five or six people each and a dozen guns, covering fire simultaneously! I don’t believe we can’t take them down!”
Boss Luo was taken aback and quickly said, “Han the Great, the one named Shen has a Machine Gun…”
“What are you afraid of!” Han the Great replied, “He only has regular Machine Gun Bullets, which might not even penetrate the metal of our trucks! These are trucks, not flimsy little cars! Besides, they’ve been reinforced with steel plates! Unless they have Armor-Piercing Rounds, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
Han the Great wasn’t foolish!
He had long reinforced and raised the cargo area of the trucks with steel plates, leaving very small gaps between the plates specifically for shooting!
Unless the opponent was a sharpshooter or had Armor-Piercing Rounds that could penetrate steel, there was nothing to fear!
The four vehicles started up, moving forward and backward, directly arriving at the first ruin, then opened fire wildly!
Over forty guns fired simultaneously, with no blind spots. In the end, Han the Great threw in a tear gas grenade; the entire ruin was filled with tear gas. As long as there were people inside, they wouldn’t be able to hold out and would definitely have to run out.
After waiting for two minutes, Han the Great judged that this was already the limit for an ordinary Evolver holding their breath and waved his hand: “Next!”
…………
Du Jie had arrived long before Bao Ye and the others.
However, she did not enter Suicheng High School directly nor linger outside but instead took a detour to the west gate of Suicheng High School, observing quietly.
On this dark and windy night, she didn’t dare to enter casually; it would be easy to fall victim to a double attack from Han the Great and Shen Yuan. It would be chaotic, and no one would know whose side she was on; it was more likely that they would think she was an enemy.
“Du Jie, are we… really going to help Shen Laoda? Are we going against Han the Great and the others?” a woman asked hesitantly, worry etched on her face.
It wasn't just her.
The others in the vehicle also didn't understand. They thought things were fine as they were, with planned hunts for Mutant Beasts, scavenging for essential supplies, and living without worries about food and drink.
They truly did not want to take risks.
Du Jie shook her head, offering no explanation.
How could she explain?
Should she tell them this wasn’t a utopian world, nor a time of peace?
Should she tell them that Han the Great and Boss Luo had hinted to her several times that if she was unwilling to submit, they would deal with her?
Should she tell them that there was no peaceful life in the apocalypse? The entire world was changing, Mutant Beasts were growing stronger by the day, and if one couldn't become stronger, couldn't quickly enhance their abilities or seek alliances, one day they would be devoured by others or killed by Mutant Beasts?
It was useless.
No matter how she explained, they wouldn’t understand because people always have a sense of luck.
As long as there was one more day of stability, as long as there was hope, they were willing to scrape by, willing to gamble!
She felt like she was gambling, placing bets based on the situation, but in reality, who wasn’t gambling?
However, her bet was in her own hands, while most people's bets were in the hands of others!
"We're leaving! There's no need for us here anymore, and we can't get involved. But we can go directly to the Stone Carving Factory to see if we can help the others under Shen Yuan. That way, we can do Shen Yuan a favor without taking too much risk." Du Jie saw the hesitation on the faces of the others and ultimately compromised.
Since the others were unwilling, she wouldn't force them; that wasn't her philosophy.
However, there was one thing Du Jie couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried:
The reason Shen Yuan didn't go to the Stone Carving Factory was clearly because he was worried that his subordinates would be harmed or even killed by Han the Great. After all, according to intelligence, it seemed that Shen Yuan's other subordinates were just ordinary people.
But it seemed Shen Yuan wasn't foolish; hadn't he considered that Han the Great might specifically send people to the Stone Carving Factory to deal with the others?
...
"Who do you think will win this battle?" The Ultimate Doomsday Vehicle stopped in front of Suicheng High School. Bao Ye, Ning, Jiang the Great, and Yang the Boss were all gathered at a table in a rooftop café, watching the battle inside Suicheng High School through the glass roof.
At that moment, someone brought over a pot of tea. Yang the Boss quickly took action himself, pouring a cup for Bao Ye, Ning, and Jiang the Great before filling his own cup.
They had been watching for quite a while when Bao Ye finally turned to the three leaders and casually asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Han the Great and Boss Luo will definitely win!" Yang the Boss wanted to show off in front of Bao Ye and laughed heartily: "Han the Great and Boss Luo brought over twenty people and more than forty guns! Shen Laoda only has three people. Even if they have a Machine Gun, rifles, and Micro Submachine Guns, what can they do? They will definitely lose!"
Bao Ye remained noncommittal and looked at Ning: "Aning, what do you think?"
Ning was more cautious. After thinking for about a minute, he said, "Han Leng has a greater chance of winning."
"Oh? Go ahead and tell me," Bao Ye said with some interest.
Ning replied, "Han Leng has a lot of people and guns, so logically, they should win. But he's too foolish; he doesn't understand tactics and doesn't know how to attack or defend in this environment. He doesn't know how to conduct fire coverage or targeted strikes, so he might not win. Shen Yuan may have fewer people, but he has a Machine Gun and an Automatic Rifle, giving him an advantage in attack range. Moreover, this place is full of ruins with complex terrain, and since it's night, if he makes good use of these advantages, there's a possibility of turning the tables."
After a brief pause, Ning continued, "If I were Han Leng, Shen Yuan would definitely die! If I were Shen Yuan, Han Leng would definitely die!"
Bao Ye remained noncommittal and turned to Jiang the Great: "Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang the Great scratched his head, completely lacking the restraint of Yang the Boss and the seriousness of Ning. After thinking for a moment, he confidently said, "Bao Ge, I think that Shen Yuan can win."
This time Bao Ye was genuinely interested; he put down the teacup he was holding and asked, "Why? Tell me!"
Jiang the Great had a silly grin on his face and scratched his head again. "I'm not as knowledgeable as Ning; I don't know how they should fight or how their strengths compare. I just feel that Shen Yuan doesn't seem like a fool. Since he dares to confront Han the Great directly, he must have some confidence in winning. Otherwise, why would he seek death?"
Yang the Boss curled his lip, thinking that Jiang the Great was being foolish. If it weren't for his good luck in getting so many mutated vegetables and currying favor with Bao Ye, he would have died countless times already!
Ning looked at Jiang the Great thoughtfully.
Bao Ye took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to each person before saying lightly, "Brother Jiang hit the nail on the head. Shen Yuan isn't foolish; since he dares to oppose Han Leng, he must have his own trump card. However, to say that he will definitely win is not certain."
Ning quickly lit Bao Ye's cigarette and frowned in confusion. "Why?"
Bao Ye took a puff and slowly exhaled before saying faintly, "Because Han Leng's strength is much greater than what Shen Yuan or any of you think!"
