1o16o New Urban Farmers Chapter 205: A Tragic Battle (Part 1)

When they arrived at Wang Chengzhou's location, Zhang Guodong noticed that the area was indeed a better place for lions to hide, making it much more difficult for wild animals to attack than in the forest.

However, the wild beasts smelled the blood, and there were so many of them that even this place was in danger. Zhang Guodong sensed that someone had already died here! And it was two of his own men who were missing.

Wang Chengzhou, Li Lizheng, and the others looked quite disheveled! Some of them even had bruises on their bodies.

Not far away, bursts of gunfire pierced the night sky. In the forest, four explorers and a wounded man stubbornly resisted, their double-barreled shotguns spitting fire to deter approaching wild animals. They stood back-to-back, not far from Wang Chengzhou and his group. But the battle was extremely fierce!

"It's them!" It's the five dark-faced men we met during the day!

"Captain, I think this might be our last expedition. I shouldn't have agreed to it," Old Han said bitterly, looking around with a sense of sorrow.

He sat in the middle of the group, his leg injured. He had wounds on his arms and body, and these wounds seemed to be infected, rendering him unable to fight and lift his double-barreled shotgun.

The captain, Lao Liu, Lao Qiu, and Sanzi stayed by his side and never abandoned him, which moved him deeply.

"Nonsense! We all agree!" the third son retorted angrily.

Bang!

Another shot was fired, but this time it was a feint and didn't hit a nearby black bird in the air. Out of instinct, the black bird was terrified of fire and flew away immediately.

But the piercing cries kept everyone on edge. And with wild beasts swarming all around, they didn't seem to retreat, as if waiting for an opportunity?

"Captain, look! Those people have lit a fire!" Lao Liu's eyes lit up when he noticed that a fire seemed to have started near Wang Chengzhou.

Many wild animals are afraid of fire at night!

"Fire! Fire!" Old Han suddenly became excited. There wasn't much else here, it was winter. There were still weeds and branches to use. They lit a fire. Perhaps it could drive away those ferocious wild beasts.

It has to be said that this was a good idea. Old Han couldn't fire a gun, but he grabbed some firewood nearby. He took out a lighter and lit it! As soon as the flames shot up, he heard some birds in the air suddenly scatter in large circles.

"Haha, it really worked!" Sanzi exclaimed happily. "Didn't you just act recklessly? What can you do to Grandpa now!"

As soon as the fire was lit, the attacks from the birds and beasts ceased, seemingly out of genuine fear. The soldiers no longer needed to fire. Once daylight broke, they would no longer be fighting in complete darkness!

In the firelight, a dozen birds and several wild beasts lay dead on the small patch of grass. Old Han and the others exchanged glances at the bead in their heads!

"The campfire really works! Beads! We just killed a lot of those damned birds, hurry up and collect them!" Li Lizheng also thought of this.

With the danger seemingly averted by the presence of a bonfire, both sides focused their attention on the birds and beasts killed by stray bullets. Perhaps they had beads in their heads!

The three sons and the two guards on this side all set out; their target was the dead birds and several wild beasts, and a conflict broke out immediately.

"Don't move! These corpses are ours!" Li Lizheng was furious when he saw that the other side also had this idea, and many gun barrels were pointed at them.

The three opposing forces also had guns, and a standoff ensued.

"Bullshit! We killed some of them too! You guys want to keep them all for yourselves?" Sanzi, who had a fiery temper, immediately cursed.

Li Lizheng was about to say, "So what if we monopolize it?" But at this moment, Wang Chengzhou said in a deep voice, "We lost a few men. If it weren't for our support, you would all probably be dead!"

Wang Chengzhou's words surprised the other party. Indeed, if it weren't for Wang Chengzhou and his group arriving and diverting the strength of these fearless birds and beasts, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for long; their ammunition was practically exhausted.

"Sanzi, come back!" the dark-faced captain said. "These corpses are considered even!"

The three were somewhat unwilling to let go of the treasures they had worked so hard to obtain. But the captain's words always made sense, so he could only return indignantly.

In reality, the Li family would have the upper hand if the two sides went to war. Therefore, the explorers had no choice but to back down.

The two guards here now hated these monsters to the core, so they swiftly and efficiently dismembered the sixteen or seventeen monster corpses, extracting three beads—one large and two small. Wang Chengzhou, his eyes narrowed, pocketed the three beads, secretly delighted.

Although the cost was high, those eight or nine people over there are probably dead, right? Two of them were killed by these monsters in the battle here, leaving only nine people on our side! The casualties are huge.

But obtaining these precious beads, whose specific uses are currently unknown, makes it all worthwhile.

Li Lizheng glanced greedily at the beads, but quickly looked away. There were none for him at the moment.

Only Captain Tang and his team remained silent. They were astonished by the sheer number of casualties; this was only their first destination.

"Beep beep!" At that moment, Captain Tang's communicator flashed, indicating that a message had come in. His face lit up with joy, meaning that someone was still alive.

"Captain, this is Xiao Wu. We've been attacked. Liu Yong and the two mountain farmers are dead, and Mr. Zhang is missing. I think he's probably in grave danger." A somber voice came from the other end.

Captain Tang hurriedly asked, "Xiao Wu, don't panic. What's the situation? Is anyone else injured?"

Hearing that Zhang Guodong and the two mountain farmers had also gotten into trouble, Captain Tang felt only regret. Originally, these people didn't need to get involved.

But he was heartbroken to have lost one of his men. Three excellent subordinates!

"We still have five jin here," Xiao Wu said. "Although we were injured, Dr. Qin and the others bandaged us up. But we're surrounded by monsters and we can't get out!"

Captain Tang was even more bitter now. Not to mention, Xiao Wu's side was in the same situation. "But you guys need to figure out a way to build a fire, those monsters are afraid of fire! Just keep going until dawn!" Captain Tang immediately added.

This fire is extremely crucial.

Xiao Wu's side has already lit it. Otherwise, they might have been completely wiped out.

Upon hearing this, Captain Tang immediately felt relieved and offered them a few words of comfort.

"Zhang Guodong is missing?" Wang Chengzhou frowned slightly, then relaxed. He had originally brought Zhang Guodong along to use him as a pawn, or to put it more bluntly, as cannon fodder! Now he's gone…

Li Lizheng retorted, "Second Uncle, you're kidding me. I'm telling you, Zhang Guodong was just a burden. It's best he's dead now, otherwise he might have ruined our plans!"

Wang Chengzhou frowned, glared at Li Lizheng, then glanced at Captain Tang, whose expression was somewhat displeased, and coughed, saying, "After all, it was the old man's arrangement. It's not good that something has gone wrong now. Captain Tang, what do you think we should do now? Should we take over the people from over there?"

This standing at attention is a bit too sloppy. It might upset Captain Tang. He can't say he's lost three men. Captain Tang and his men are the old man's confidants. Li Lizheng saying this would be hurtful. Besides, this time they really need to rely on Captain Tang and his team!

Captain Tang's displeasure flashed, and Bei Shi, upon hearing this, said seriously, "There are three team members and two doctors over there. The doctors cannot be lost. I'll take two people to bring them over!"

Wang Chengzhou naturally understood the importance of doctors, especially those with extensive field experience. Captain Tang and his escort team knew first aid, but they were far inferior to field doctors.

"Captain Tang, if you take the two of them and leave, it will be even more dangerous here!" Li Lizheng said hurriedly. For some reason, the Xuanlin Forest was filled with chaotic noise, which was quite alarming.

Wang Chengzhou frowned and snorted at Li Lizheng with some dissatisfaction, "Do as Captain Tang says! But Captain Tang, take a few torches with you!"

"Xiao Zheng, Xiao Chu, come with me!" Captain Tang nodded and pointed at the two men. The three of them found a piece of clothing and a bottle of gasoline in their bags. They also found a wooden stick on the ground and quickly made a torch. It would be enough to keep them burning long enough to bring the people back.

A figure moved swiftly through the jungle, inwardly cursing Wang Chengzhou and Li Lizheng as bastards, thinking he was just cannon fodder for following them. His resentment towards the old man also grew.

Hmph, it's good that they don't care about my life or death. No one cares whether I live or die, or whether I exist or not. They can leave whenever they want and disappear whenever they want!

He was scooping out the "brain beads" from the corpses of dead monsters in the forest—creatures Wang Chengzhou and his group couldn't obtain. But he wasn't afraid of these monsters; rather, they were still a distance away from posing a threat.

The fastest was a leopard. This leopard was about 1.2 meters long. Zhang Guodong initially thought it was a cub, but he quickly realized he was very wrong. This leopard was actually two-thirds as fast as him!

It's the fastest of these monsters, and also the most threatening. However, this guy is cunning and doesn't get close to him. He only sends his "minions" to attack him.

Besides, there was also the golden-feathered owl in the sky. Taking advantage of its aerial advantage, it had fled far away after Zhang Guodong appeared, which made Zhang Guodong both frustrated and very surprised.

Could it be that these two guys can actually sense the threat I pose to them? It's probably true.

Once inside the forest, Zhang Guodong simply put away his gun and took out his machete to search for the monsters' corpses. After some effort, he managed to dig out two large beads and four small beads from more than twenty monster corpses.

They also summarized accurate patterns: the production of this bead has a certain probability, but it is very difficult to produce this thing most of the time.

After circling around and clearing out most of the monster corpses, Zhang Guodong finally took a breather and emerged from the forest.

"Who goes there?!" Zhang Guodong's footsteps on the branches as soon as he came out startled everyone. Wang Chengzhou and the dark-faced man were also staring at Zhang Guodong.

The pitch blackness does indeed create a sense of gloom and terror, like a humanoid monster?

"Don't shoot. It's me!" Zhang Guodong tried to put on a look of terror before stepping out of the shadows.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was a human.

"Zhang Guodong?!" Li Lizheng exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing Zhang Guodong. "How come you're still alive?"

Zhang Guodong shouted angrily, "Even if you die, I won't! What kind of bullshit are you spouting, as if I'm the one who should die! Or are you up to no good?"

Zhang Guodong was quite a character, and everyone in the Li family's guard team knew about him. Li Lizheng was the third generation of the Li family. They knew this too, but Zhang Guodong dared to directly insult them. This made the guards feel like laughing, and Li Lizheng made them very uncomfortable.

"You! You dare to insult me? I'll kill you right now!" Li Lizheng's face was flushed with anger as he couldn't out-argue Zhang Guodong. With a click, he raised his gun.

Zhang Guodong stood there unhurriedly, chuckling coldly.

Wang Chengzhou shouted at Li Lizheng, "Enough! Put down your gun! It's good that Zhang Guodong is back safe and sound."

After being yelled at by Wang Chengzhou, Li Lizheng glared venomously at Zhang Guodong before lowering his gun. "We'll see!" he thought, his killing intent burning.

Wang Chengzhou looked at Zhang Guodong with surprise, perhaps thinking to himself, "Zhang Guodong actually escaped unscathed? Good!"
