Chapter 350: Showing Off to Mr. Red Ghost
When the sun set behind the mountains in the west, it started to rain.
The rain started off very light, but quickly became heavy.
It was pouring rain.
In this cold December weather, the rain made it even colder.
On a cold, stormy night, the almost deserted small town was dark with no lights to be seen.
The survivors huddled in the city chose to go to sleep early in such weather to conserve energy.
Furthermore, lights were kept dim or off at night.
It was almost a unanimous agreement among the survivors on the surface that too much light would attract the attention of giant beasts.
So on this night, shadows crept into the city without anyone noticing.
These shadows had clear goals. Despite entering the city from different directions, they moved like underwater currents towards a common destination.
That was an abandoned brewery, there was no beer in the factory, only rats and weeds left.
A dilapidated small building a few hundred meters away from the brewery, Guan Peng took off his raincoat and gazed at the factory with dim lights from afar.
Behind him, a clever-looking young man emerged from the shadows, also took off his raincoat and threw it on the ground.
“Uncle Peng, everyone is in position.” The young man shook off the rainwater from his body.
Behind him, two other people were carrying a box and placed it on the ground.
They opened it, revealing some equipment inside.
The main equipment was a portable shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, with a missile beside it, and sleek goggles.
Guan Peng looked at the box and exclaimed, “The ‘Hornet’ rocket launcher can lock onto targets using tactical goggles and guide and adjust its trajectory.”
“This set costs 300,000 work points.”
“Now we have four sets in total, if it weren’t for Mr. Red Ghost, we wouldn’t need such good stuff.”
“You agree, right, Tianzi?”
Tianzi, also known as Wang Tian, is one of the warriors of the ‘Iron Horse’ mercenary group, and has been with the group for almost two years.
He remembered the toughest time for the mercenary group when their only weapons were old semi-automatic rifles.
They couldn’t access advanced weapons worth tens of thousands of work points.
Thinking about this, Wang Tian nodded excitedly.
“Get ready.”
Guan Peng tapped the walkie-talkie on his chest again, “Everyone ready.”
“According to the plan, blow up that factory for me.”
“This is our first mission together.”
“It takes time to train soldiers, so please don’t embarrass our ‘Iron Horse’ unit.”
“Impress Mr. Red Ghost.”
Laughter and responses could be heard over the walkie-talkie.
Following behind, Wang Tian put on his tactical glasses, lifted the ‘Hornet’ rocket launcher, walked to the window, and locked onto a target.
Guan Peng’s expression turned serious, the cold rain hitting the middle-aged man’s face. He said in a deep voice, “Start the countdown.”
“Three, two, one… Attack!”
Wang Tian pulled the trigger.
Zoom!
The back of the shell emitted a faint glow, suddenly leaving the launch pad, breaking through the rain curtain, drawing a light trail in the dark night. In the blink of an eye, it landed in the factory, hitting the target accurately.
Boom!
The main building of the factory exploded violently, the rooftop was blown off directly, and flames gushed out from the building, turning into a dazzling fireball that could burn steel!
At the same time, three other fireballs lit up at different locations in the factory, rising up.
Four fireballs rose together, completely destroying the brewery, even the underground facilities of the factory could not withstand the violent impact, as the simple underground structures were not enough to resist the explosion.
The explosion and flames of the brewery alarmed the survivors on the surface of the small city.
Thin faces appeared behind the windows of various buildings, the bright firelight illuminating the night, casting a red glow on their faces.
The survivors showed a mix of complex emotions in their eyes – surprise, worry, fear.
Various emotions flickered in their eyes as they did not stay for long, just a few seconds, before quickly returning to their houses, tidying up their belongings, and then entering various underground shelters with skilled movements that were heartbreaking to watch.
In a big building across two streets from the brewery, wearing a cloak and a wooden mask, Luo Yan saw the fireball rising from the direction of the factory with his red eyes.
After receiving information about the ‘Mysterious Tiger’ from Yu Qiushui that day, he secretly brought the ‘Iron Horse’ mercenary group and former members of Team 7 including Wei Junyi to this place.
Seeing the ‘Iron Horse’ starting to move, Luo Yan gestured from under his cloak.
One-armed Wei Junyi led several former members of Team 7, silently leaving.
After the first series of explosions, there was a continuous explosion in the brewery, as the ‘Black Tortoise’ organization’s ammunition depot inside the brewery was affected by the big blast.
The explosion lasted for nearly a minute before finally stopping, leaving thick smoke and the factory in ruins, with piles of rubble.
In the firelight, a pile of rocks suddenly burst open, and then someone coughed and crawled out.
Fang Chang.
This man had a bleeding forehead, torn clothes, and was seriously injured.
He looked around and a feeling of sadness rose on his face. In the dark underground passage behind him, thick smoke billowed, and two people emerged.
One man and one woman.
Both looked very disheveled.
The woman is named Li Du, and the man is called Long Wei.
The two of them gazed at the ruined factory, their faces filled with despair.
“Could it be that everyone else…”
Li Du was in a daze, unable to believe.
Long Wei, on the other hand, roared angrily at his surroundings, “Whoever it is! Come out, I’m going to kill you!”
Suddenly, Fang Chang knocked him down forcefully, and at almost the same time, a fist-sized hole blasted out behind Long Wei.
Bang!
At that moment, gunshots could be heard in the distance.
“There’s a sniper!”
Fang Chang shouted, “Quick, find cover!”
While shouting, he also pulled Long Wei along to move quickly.
Gunshots were coming from all directions, like a flowing metal river made of bullets, constantly chasing Fang Chang and his two companions.
Finally, they hid behind a pile of rocks.
Fang Chang yelled, “Who are our friends here? How did I offend you, ‘Mysterious Tiger’?”
As he spoke, Li Du and Long Wei listened carefully, ready to locate and confront the enemy as soon as they responded.
Suddenly, the sky roared and then hand grenades fell near where the three of them were hiding, exploding loudly.
The three of them dodged in a panic, getting separated by the explosion, then they kept walking further under sniper and rifle fire.
Seeing that they couldn’t reunite, they had to each break through the encirclement.
Li Du stopped immediately when she climbed over a wrecked car.
Ahead of her, she saw a stout middle-aged man standing there confidently, saying firmly, “This way is blocked.”
On the other side of the factory, Long Wei just climbed onto a pile of rocks when a flash of a knife came towards him, knocking him back down.
He slipped to the ground and looked up to see a one-armed man holding a long knife, releasing the scabbard from his mouth.
Fang Chang broke through two blockades, almost breaking free, but then with a sudden cold look in his eyes, he swiftly turned over and lay on the ground.
Above his head, the air twisted and invisible ripples passed by!
