Chapter 5 The Iron Claw Gang’s Plan <TOC> Chapter 7 Betrayal
Translator: SumTLMan
The next day, Li Mu woke up on his chair, clutching the treasure knife in his arms, stood up, and stretched his limbs.
The Iron Claw Gang had already gathered at the city gate and was loading ammunition and supplies onto two hovercrafts. A ZBD-88 powered armor was being hoisted onto a hovercraft through a crane.
In addition to the powered armor, there were also siege guns, disposable rocket launchers and other weapons for attacking fortifications. Goldbeard had invested a great deal of money into this operation.
After all, the enemy was a powerful awakened being capable of hunting down the families.
The core of the hovercraft was the air copper that was psychically contaminated and could produce an antigravity field after being electrified, levitating the entire hovercraft at a height close to the ground.
“Wang Liu, come over here. How’s this, this powered armor was rented from the controller of Raginbeard by Goldbeard. With it, taking down a guard station is almost a sure thing.”
Yue Zhe sat in a corner of the hovercraft, wearing a self-satisfied smile. A few Xias, like stars forming a moon, surrounded him.
“Your money.”
He took a cigarette, lit it, and threw a bag of money stained with blood to Li Mu.
Li Mu caught the money, squeezed it, and found that it was the money he had spent in Raginbeard and even more. Before he could speak, several Xias next to him immediately started complimenting.
“Yue Ge is chivalrous!”
“Without Yue Ge, we Xias would be bullied.”
“Only Yue Ge is truly for us Xias.”
Because of the manhunt by the Eastern Xias, the Xia forces in Raginbeard declined greatly. Yue Zhe was barely a figurehead, so they decided to cling to Yue Zhe’s thigh while taking advantage of this opportunity.
“Everyone came out this time for the sake of the big brother, how can I let you suffer?”
Yue Zhe said:
“When the time comes, everyone will have to pretend to be those Eastern Xia barbarians together. Eastern Xias, they are both smelly and stupid. They always talk about the other side of the mountain being the true homeland of the Xias. I think they are crazy, seeing that the status of the Xias is lower than that of the Xingdus, they made up such absurd lies.”
Several Xias burst into laughter:
“Boss Yue said that there are only clansmen in the desolate mountain range, and if the other side is really the homeland of the Xia people, how could they have migrated to Xingdu. Those Eastern Xia people are still too foolish, they can’t even fabricate a believable lie.”
Since the Eastern Xia people migrated to the large swamp area in the east, their communication with the outside world has been very limited, even the nearby Raginbeard is difficult to find information about Eastern Xia. Due to its mystery, many bizarre rumors are also unconsciously spread by the outside world.
Several people were talking and discussing how to enjoy the women of the Eastern Xia people if they were robbed.
A Xia person saw Li Mu holding a knife, not speaking, and pushed him away.
“Your boss helped you get your money back, how come you don’t even show a gesture?”
Li Mu raised his head and revealed a vicious smile.
“Thank you Boss Yue for your care.”
The hotel waiter with a flattering smile opened the door in the room he rented. A marauder from the Iron Claw gang entered, first looked at the Fei Lian who was locked in a cage, then carefully searched the entire room, not even the mattress was overlooked.
After not finding anything valuable, he turned and left to report to Boss Yue.
The door of the room was closed again, and Fei Lian in the cage waited for a while before pecking out the key from under its wing, opened the cage door and then the window, turning into a lightning, rushing straight into the clouds.
Li Mu ordered it to find the sentinel station by the Lake Loban.
Fei Lian was extremely fast and its eyesight was amazing, it could easily distinguish targets thirty kilometers away in the sky. With a flap of its wings, it accelerated to the limit, leaving Raginbeard far behind.
On the ground, all the members of the Iron Claw Gang finally assembled. Li Mu felt that the airship under him was gently shaking and began to accelerate, after stabilizing at a speed of about thirty meters, he began to travel at a constant speed.
……
……
In the afternoon, at Loban Lake, Outpost 37. The outpost was built on a high slope by the lake, with a reinforced concrete structure and excellent visibility, surrounded by trenches dug for protection from shelling.
Although the number of marauders has greatly decreased due to earlier punishment, it still occasionally occurs. Even more challenging is the existence of the Descenders. When the radiation concentration drops to the valley bottom, it is highly likely that a Descender invasion will occur, requiring the outpost soldiers to give advance warning.
Because it is highly likely that they will face the Descenders, the soldiers in the outpost can be considered experienced in combat, and each outpost will be equipped with at least one awakened person.
At the moment, the soldiers in the outpost have already completed the morning patrol around the border line and returned to the outpost.
Li Mei holds a small notebook in her hand and writes in Xiamen with a pencil, writing a diary. She is the captain of the outpost, and recently the fierce Mohuolong python was killed in her hands.
She has a black and bright braid, a beautiful face with rosy skin, and still some youthfulness. She is wearing a white washed uniform, a slightly large camouflage training uniform, and not wearing bulletproof armor like other warriors.
The other warriors in the outpost, some are chopping firewood, and some are washing clothes with the lake water that has been filtered. Today is a rare leisure day. Because of the recent Descender attack, the herders dare not come to the meadow to graze, and there are fewer scavengers and hunters.
Within a radius of tens of kilometers, there are only seven of them.
Suddenly a sharp breaking sound came from the sky, Li Mei immediately grasped the NSG-7 sniper rifle at her side with alertness.
After she arrived at the checkpoint, the ferocious mutated creatures around were cleared out, with little left over and many fleeing the area. The only ones that still appeared were the wide-ranging falcons.
A flash of light was seen flying towards the checkpoint, as if it were a powerful arrow.
Li Mei raised her gun, sensing the wind speed and temperature, aimed slightly, and pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
A shot rang out, and the falcon that was a thousand meters away was directly hit and fell onto the grassy plain, flipping over several times and burying its head in the ground with its butt facing out.
Its abdomen was hit, and even though the mutated creature was very strong, it immediately lost its mobility. If not treated promptly, it could even be fatal.
Ordinary ospreys can rely on diving to accelerate themselves to more than 300 kilometers per hour. As a more powerful mutated creature, it can easily fly at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour and diving can further accelerate its speed to more than 600 kilometers per hour.
Without being caught in iron nets, an ordinary person would never be able to catch it.
But now, someone in the checkpoint was able to shoot it down from a thousand meters away with a single shot.
Li Mei slung her rifle on her back and pulled out her dagger, ready to slaughter the falcon that had come in. Upon arrival, she saw the falcon with its big black eyes open, looking at her in a friendly manner.
The Sun Spring of the Exile Realm has increased its intelligence.
Li Mei saw that the falcon’s feet were tied with a small bamboo tube and frowned, putting her dagger back into the scabbard.
This falcon was domesticated by someone.
