When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 225 Camp 39

The three of them, along with Lin Siyin and Lao Wu whose energy was sealed, drove towards Refugee Camp No. 3.

"You just said this is Camp 39, isn't it Refugee Camp No. 3?"

Jiang Yuan was still driving, but this time the passenger was the fifth brother, who was tied up tightly.

"Boss, you don't know this, but after our Ninth Legion arrived here, Camp Three changed its name and became known as Camp Three-Ninth!" Fifth Brother explained with a bitter expression, after all, no one would be happy to be tied up like this.

"How's the beast tide here? Can we hold it off?" Jiang Yuan needed to find out beforehand, otherwise he would be exhausted from running around when the camp was breached.

"Although the current beast tide is fierce, Camp 39 is still holding up!" Old Five nodded and said truthfully.

"I think it would be best if we settled her in properly and then headed straight for the southern part of the city!"

Leng Yue suddenly spoke from the back row, referring to Lin Siyin. She continued, "This guy is from Refugee Camp No. 9. If we take him with us, we might be betrayed!"

"Beautiful ladies, don't joke around, how could I dare to betray you!" the fifth brother said with a bitter face.

"I don't want to put my life and death in someone else's hands!" Leng Yue still wanted to kill Lao Wu, and didn't even want to enter the Sanjiu Camp. She would rather wander in the wild than have any contact with humans.

"Leng Yue, don't overthink it. It's really too dangerous to be out at night. If you can find someone to stick with, you'll feel much safer!" Jiang Yuan advised.

Leng Yue remained silent, huddled in the back row, seemingly lost in thought.

"We've arrived! That's Camp 39!"

After driving for a few minutes, Lao Wu pointed ahead and shouted excitedly.

"This terrain is excellent; it's easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

Jiang Yuan immediately noticed the terrain of Camp 39. In the past, it should have been a mountain city. The higher you went, the more treacherous the terrain became. If you wanted to get to the South City, you would have to cross this mountain city.

"My lords, civilians here are not allowed to drive. Shall I go down and negotiate?" the fifth brother said anxiously.

"No need!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and drove straight to the entrance of the camp at the foot of the mountain.

The fifth brother could only shrug and sit in his seat with a bitter face.

"Who goes there? Please pull over for inspection!"

Before Jiang Yuan's car had gotten too close, a dignified voice rang out from the entrance of the camp.

Jiang Yuan did not slow down; he knew that in an era of collapsing order, might makes right.

"If you don't stop, we'll shoot!"

The other party shouted again, but this time it was clearly not a verbal threat. As soon as the voice fell, gunshots rang out, and bullets kept hitting the car.

Mind control!

Jiang Yuan directly controlled the two gatekeepers within the range of his divine power. "Open the gate!"

With a thought, the two guards who had been firing stopped and went to activate the defensive fortifications.

There was no inspection involved, and once you passed the guard, there was even less chance of inspection for those inside; you could say you had a smooth journey.

"Hey, something's not right with these people! We've been checked countless times every time we enter the camp, how come they've learned to slack off now!" Old Wu found this scene unbelievable; something was definitely not right.

"Didn't you say you knew Lin Siyin's relatives? Where are they? Take us there!" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, her aunt is an old acquaintance of mine!" The fifth brother nodded repeatedly. He looked around and then pointed the way: "Go straight for half a kilometer, then turn right into the outer T-junction area. Her aunt should live in that area!"

"Couldn't you have explained it more clearly?" Jiang Yuan really wanted to punch this guy. Such a vague location was just fooling him.

"Brother, I really didn't do this on purpose! You know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Camp 39. Some of the weaker people live in the outermost area. In this kind of environment, it's good enough if you can just survive. It's really hard for you to get a specific address!" the fifth brother said helplessly.

"Since you're an old acquaintance of her aunt, how dare you poison this little girl?" Jiang Yuan kicked Lao Wu while driving.

"I……"

The fifth brother looked embarrassed. "Actually, we're not old acquaintances. I only met her aunt once! And it's really not my fault. It's normal to form cliques to survive in the camp. If I don't go with the flow, I'll be the one getting beaten down next time!"

"I don't want to hear your nonsense, just give me directions!" Jiang Yuan interrupted Lao Wu, who was constantly making excuses.

It must be said that Camp 39 is very large, almost like a small city. With the addition of people from Camp 9, it has become even larger than before the catastrophe, although there are still some differences.

Firstly, there are almost no intact vehicles on the road, and secondly, there are very few pedestrians, and even those who are there are leaving in a hurry with a cautious expression.

"Turn around the corner, and that's the T-shaped area! The outer area of ​​Camp 39 is where people without power or influence live. It's divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. It's also the first line of defense for Camp 39 against the beast tide!" Old Wu said with a sigh.

"Are there any powerful individuals here? Why is this the first barrier?" Ning Yanlan, sitting in the back row, asked.

"There are no strong individuals here, but there is a vast number of humans!"

The fifth brother looked somewhat helpless. "The previous waves of beast tides have taught us a lesson: the fundamental purpose of the beast tides is to destroy humanity. If the camp is breached, the people in the outer areas will become food for the beast tides. In other words, the beast tides will retreat on their own after consuming enough people in the outer areas, until the next attack!"

"Of course, this is a choice we only make when we have no other choice! If such a thing really happens, the people in the outer areas will buy enough time for the people in the central areas to establish a new line of defense!"

"Don't think it's cruel. Actually, people in the outer areas all know about this, but they have no choice!"

After hearing these words, Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan felt a pang of sympathy, while Leng Yue remained calm.

“Her aunt should be around here, but robberies often happen in the outer areas, so I’m not sure exactly where she lives!” Lao Wu told Jiang Yuan to stop and signaled the others to be careful of the surrounding area.

"Go down and ask around!" Jiang Yuan told Lao Wu to get out of the car.

"Should we just go and inquire like this?"

The fifth brother looked bewildered, because he was currently tied up, and it would be too shameful to go and inquire about things.

"What else? I'll assign you a beautiful female bodyguard?" Jiang Yuan glanced at Leng Yue casually.

The fifth brother's heart skipped a beat. He quickly opened the car door with his bound hands and dashed off to inquire about the person. He was joking; having a beautiful female bodyguard was practically a death sentence. Who else could it be but that cold-blooded 'executioner'? He vividly remembered Qin Yangshu's tragic fate; this woman was absolutely not to be trifled with.

"Leng Yue, look how scared you've made him!" Jiang Yuan turned around and teased.

Leng Yue stared at him for a few seconds, then remained silent. She didn't want to say a single unnecessary word when Ning Yanlan was around.

"Come on, there's no one else here. Let me show you a treasure!" Jiang Yuan mysteriously took out an object and then asked, "Is anyone interested in special physiques?"
