Chapter 87: Hehehehehehe About the protagonist being more like a villain…

"In order to save manpower, Youdu usually only has the south-facing main gate open. The other three gates were completely sealed by the leader long ago. In the past, identity recognition was required to enter and exit the south gate. Now that the leader is missing and there is an internal conflict, the guards at the gate will probably suspect that even a fly is an enemy, so the possibility of disguising an identity to sneak in is relatively low."

Wu Wang told a joke and laughed out loud. But when he saw the indifference of the people around him, he had no choice but to cough and continue dryly:

"In short, I guess the South Gate is the most heavily guarded, followed by patrols centered around the other three sealed gates. So if we can really attract the Crawlers to break open the South Gate and lead the patrols around the wall over, we can easily sneak into Youdu by taking advantage of the time difference..."

At this point, he couldn't help but ask again: "The creeper you are talking about is the same as the creeper I am thinking of?"

The mercenary Gray Brother looked at him with pity and patted him on the shoulder, his silence was more powerful than words.

It was late at night, the stars were twinkling, the fire was making a slight sound, and the flickering flames illuminated the faces around, some strange and some familiar.

Except for the mercenary Gray Brother? , the other suspected members of the Desert Bone Tribe were far away from the fire, almost close to each other, some crossed their legs, some squatted, and some dug stones on the Gobi Desert, revealing a casual feeling of "I don't understand the discussion but I have to listen."

The other group of people, the members of the resistance army who were driven out of Youdu, sat near the fire, talking about important areas in Youdu, including the arsenal and the supply warehouse. Some of them were even drawing maps, and they seemed to be ready to lead people to raid their hometown, regardless of the lives of their former companions.

Zhang Chun listened to the descriptions of the two sides, drew a simple map on the sand with his finger, circled a point on the west and north walls, and then continued to go deeper into Youdu.

"Use the method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to sneak into Youdu, go to the prison to rescue your subordinates, gather people to break into the central building and control the current ruler of Youdu. It's a very rough action plan."

He evaluated the plan proposed by Wu Wang.

"So? Just adapt to the situation?"

Wu Wang rubbed his head uncomfortably, feeling as if he was being silently stared at by his own leader.

Zhang Chun also felt a familiar and tiring feeling from Wu Wang. He looked away and continued to think about his next move.

This plan is too rough and has many loopholes, but given the current situation, there is no time for them to consider various unexpected events. Perhaps Wu Wang is right. In a situation where there is no alternative, improvisation is the best option.

...I hope this group of people can adapt to changing circumstances? No, just don't fall behind? That's fine.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chun said, "We are not short of combat power. The only problem is that we need to be fast. We must be fast, otherwise you may end up with a ruin."

Wu Wang's expression became serious. "I understand. After we take control of Youdu, we must lead the Crawler away as soon as possible to prevent it from wreaking havoc in Youdu!"

Zhang Chun paused, "No, I mean..."

Before he finished speaking, the gravel on the ground suddenly rustled and trembled. The abnormal change attracted everyone's attention, but before they could react, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the dark night, the sounds seemed to be very close. Even the air was vibrating faintly, with layers of waves.

An unknown and ominous aura quickly spread, and the mercenaries and members of the resistance army who were sitting around the fire stood up one after another, their faces alert and nervous, looking for the source of the sound.

"What happened over there?"

Just as Wu Wang finished speaking, the sand beneath his feet shook violently again, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall.

"Sandstorm? How is it possible at this time——"

Someone stared at the source of the loud noise and said in disbelief.

A thousand meters away, the moonlight dimly illuminated the ground.

Large tracts of yellow sand were swept high into the sky by the storm, forming a series of whirlpool-like tornadoes. In this dangerous yellow sand, an off-road vehicle could be vaguely seen speeding, with a terrifying and huge black shadow looming behind it.

The yellow sand blocked the view of the outside world. The tiny off-road vehicle and the giant monster entrenched in the yellow sand formed a sharp contrast. Although it was an extremely blurry scene, it magnified the sense of shock.

Wu Wanghe? Brother Hui said the same word at the same time: "Fuck."

The rumbling sound was endless and seemed to be getting closer.

But at a certain moment, the horrifying sound in the distance suddenly disappeared. It appeared for unknown reasons and disappeared for unknown reasons, making people more and more uneasy.

Just then, with a piercing roar, a damaged off-road vehicle came quickly from a distance and stopped near the Gobi Desert.

The car door opened, Chu Li stepped onto the sand, and faced countless shocked looks, saying, "Occasionally speeding can help relieve stress."

Zhang Chun held his forehead with his hand.

Wu Wang did realize something, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to him. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Didn't you take that boy named Yun Yan to find the creeper? Where is he?"

Before Chu Li could answer, the rumbling sound appeared again.

And this time, it’s so close.

Suddenly, a giant black "python" emerged from the sand and surrounded the camp in a blink of an eye, entwining itself in circles. Its black scales emitted an unusually strange luster, which made people feel dizzy at the first sight.

However, this monster only surrounded them and did not attack them, so no one dared to take the initiative to provoke the monster's anger. They just kept observing and testing, looking for its weaknesses and the best way to fight or escape.

Suddenly some people exclaimed: "This is...thin feet?!"

Wu Wang stared at the "python" that was stacked up in circles. Could he clearly see its belly? The densely packed thin legs made a rustling sound when moving on the scales, which almost made his scalp numb.

"I can actually drive it..." He muttered to himself with a complicated expression.

"Wuhu! I finally succeeded in calming down the monster! Ah, I'm so tired, uncle, please praise me——"

A voice with an obviously cheerful tone suddenly sounded from above his head.

Everyone looked up, their pupils locked tightly in the next second, and cold sweat immediately flowed down.

A huge black head suddenly appeared in the Gobi Desert, and its shadow almost completely covered the campfire. A circle of densely packed scarlet eyes stared straight at the people below, passing over those frightened and vigilant humans, as if looking for something, and finally locked onto the target.

Zhang Chun was still thinking about his next plan, so he raised his head a little later, and then he met a dense mass of scarlet eyes, and clearly felt the strong malice coming towards him, but this monster seemed to be afraid and did nothing. However, just the cold gaze that seemed to lock onto its prey was enough to make people tremble with fear.

Then the malice was suppressed by a palm from the young man above his head.

"Uncle, why are you only looking at the monsters and not at me?"

Chu Xiuyan, who was sitting cross-legged on the head of the creeper, held his chin and sighed, "I used the flag of "next time for sure" to let the monster help me this time. Uncle, you have to think of a way to rescue me at that time of "next time for sure."

Zhang Chun was still staring at the creeper, and responded to the boy casually: "Well, okay, I'll rescue you next time..."

For most ferocious beasts, eye contact is a provocation, and the one who looks away first is seen as the weak one.

This creeper, which had no natural enemies in the desert, looked down on all living things equally, but for some reason chose to obey the boy on top of it.

If Zhang Chun wants to maintain his position, he must find a way to beat up this creeper.

While I was thinking, a flat voice suddenly sounded above my head.

"How dare you ignore my words... Humph, prostrate yourself to welcome the coming of the Son of the Desert? Worship me with gratitude, all living beings..."

The black-and-white-haired boy sat high on the monster's head, with his arms spread out, looking down from above, as if he were sitting upright in the sky, exuding an indifference that looked down on all living things.

Bang!

A stone shot from below successfully hit the boy's forehead, knocking him over.

Zhang Chun still held two stones in his hand. He realized later that he seemed to have thrown the stones out of habit. He coughed lightly and was about to continue the eye contact with the crawler when he saw the crawler quietly drop his head back into the Gobi Desert, hiding completely without even revealing his figure.

Chu Xiuyan stared blankly at the campfire gradually disappearing, "Little monster, what are you doing? I haven't finished showing off yet..."

The creeper made a dull sound and seemed to be unhappy.

System: [Friendly translation, it seems that it thinks you are too weak to be bullied by a human, so it has to find a way to hide you.]

Chu Xiuyan: “…Ah?”

…

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

Four off-road vehicles and nearly ten sand motorcycles formed an infiltration team and prepared to drive towards the east gate of Youdu.

On the other side, the team that was going to storm the South Gate, consisting of Chu Xiuyan and the Crawler, was ready to go.

"Leave it to me, uncle! I will definitely complete the task perfectly!"

Chu Xiuyan assured Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun was not at all reassured, but the creeper would not let anyone get close to him, especially him, so he could only keep telling him, "Be restrained, don't be too ostentatious, understand?"

"I know, I know!"

Chu Xiuyan’s head was almost leaving an afterimage.

An hour after the infiltration team left, he climbed up the head of the creeper and slowly moved towards the direction of Youdu. About ten minutes later, he saw the dark city still shrouded in thick fog.

He lowered his body, clenched the scales below with both hands, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"You heard it, little monster. You can only crash into the wall, not kill anyone. Our mission is to attract all the armed forces of the entire Youdu... OK? It seems a little wrong, but who cares? The louder the noise, the better? The more lively the better?!"

We are getting closer and closer to Youdu, so close that even the guards on the wall can see the terrifying monster coming towards us?

"Alert! Alert! Are there any unknown creatures? Come closer!"

"No! Snake body, thin legs, densely packed scarlet eyes... That monster?! It's a crawler--"

"Damn it! Quickly gather the guards around! Contact the control room to raise the protective shield!"

"It's too late—"

"Wait! There's a person on top of that crawler! This is an enemy attack!!"

In the sharp sound of the alarm, all the guards had no time to react. Their constricted pupils clearly reflected the scene of the terrifying monster breaking through the city wall and rushing into the interior with a devastating momentum.

Like? It was like the end of the world, with rumbling rubble, gray fog filling the sky, ferocious and huge crawlers wreaking havoc in the fog, and a sudden, ostentatious and joyful strange voice.

"From now on, Youdu is mine."

"Resist to your heart's content, you humans who call yourself in the name of resistance, hahahaha!"
