Chapter 143 Seven Stupid Thieves

At midnight, the base was completely silent.

Jiang Zhan, who was sleeping peacefully in the room holding Qiao Yu, suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

Outside the building, seven dark shadows hid in a dark alley, cautiously looking at the huge wolf shadow in the yard in the distance.

One of the figures carefully bent his body and prepared to sneak past, but was pulled back by the collar by another man next to him.

"Are you courting death?! This mutant beast has a very long range of perception, we can't get too close!"

"Then how do we stun it?"

The man being questioned pulled a slingshot from his pocket and loaded it with the "drunk bullet" he had prepared in advance. While taking aim, he whispered, "Of course we have to use some long-range tactics!"

"Hey, Brother Wang, where did you get this slingshot? I've never seen you use it before!"

The man holding the slingshot curled his lips proudly, "That's right, I just bought it from the market this morning! It cost me twelve crystal cores!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the ammunition in his hand flew out and flew towards the king bomb with a "whoosh".

Then "bang", it hit the ground in front of the yard gate, at least dozens of meters away from the king bomb.

“…”

The seven men gasped when they saw this.

Wang Zha, who was lying in the yard, heard a slight sound, moved his ears, and quickly opened his eyes.

It looked around vigilantly and soon discovered the pool of white powder outside the yard through the fence.

The seven men stared at Wang Zha nervously, muttering to themselves, "Go smell it! Go smell it quickly..."

Unfortunately, Wang Zha was not moved at all. Seeing that there was no danger around, he lay down again and even rolled over on the spot.

“…”

"What should we do?"

The dark-skinned man gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay! I still have medicine!"

Then he took out a "stun bullet" from his pocket and put it on the slingshot.

But this time he thought for a moment and didn't rush to fire the slingshot. Instead, he handed the slingshot to a man beside him and whispered, "Xiao Liu, come here. I'm afraid I won't be able to hit it this time, and that would be a big loss!"

The man named nodded, took the slingshot, pulled the bowstring with all his strength and aimed carefully at the bomb.

Then, "bang——".

Without a trace of defense, the man fell to the ground.

“……?”

"Fuck! Spread out! That idiot is going the wrong way!"

Several men fled in all directions, but the attack was too harsh, and the drug bomb exploded instantly. Two men had no time to dodge, and were immediately knocked to the ground by the drug, their legs going limp.

Jiang Zhan in the room was about to get up, but after hearing their conversation, he hugged Qiao Yu a little tighter and closed his eyes again with peace of mind.

With the IQ of these people, they probably won’t be able to make it tonight.

Jiang Zhan was right.

After the drug in the air dissipated, the four men who could barely stand came back staggeringly.

"Wang, Brother Wang...what are you doing?" One of the men shook his head, trying hard to shake off the stars in front of his eyes, and asked vaguely.

"What the hell are you doing!" The dark-skinned man known as "Brother Wang" staggered down and grabbed the ankle of a man on the ground, "Hurry, hurry up and come and help!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining three men quickly ran over, grabbed the legs of the three men on the ground together, and began to drag them back with a grunt.

The dark-skinned man dragged him while muttering incoherent curses: "Damn it! Wait until Xiaoliu... this kid wakes up, I'm going to teach him a lesson..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground with a thud.

“…”

The three men who were still standing were in tears.

They are weak-handed and weak-footed.

Now we have to drag one more.

--

The next morning, Qiao Yu and the other three, who had a good night's sleep, sat together and ate breakfast in high spirits.

Except Jiang Zhan, no one knew that seven stupid thieves had come last night.

He died before he could accomplish his mission.

Jiang Zhan thought about it and felt that he should remind them, "Be prepared these few nights."

He looked at Cheng Sinian, his eyes indifferent, "Don't sleep naked when you two sleep."

“…”

When Luo Zhenzhen heard this, her face turned red and hot as if it was burned by fire.

Cheng Sinian was not much better off.

He prided himself on being thick-skinned, but seeing Jiang Zhan actually saying such words with a serious face, he deeply realized that his own cultivation was still too shallow.

Qiao Yu looked at the two people's embarrassed faces, pursed her lips, tried hard to suppress her smile, and quickly changed the subject: "What's wrong, A Zhan? What happened recently?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhan wiped the greasy corners of Qiao Yu's mouth and explained softly, "Yesterday someone tried to knock Wang Zha unconscious and invaded our residence."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard that.

Yu Qingchuan frowned, "Is he from a big family? I didn't even notice anyone approaching."

Jiang Zhan scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge, blew it cool, and carefully fed it to Qiao Yu. He explained calmly, "They didn't come."

"He used a slingshot to spray himself with the drug."

“…”

The four of them were stunned again, and then they couldn't hold back their laughter and almost spit out the food in their mouths.

"Pfft—what kind of talented people are these! Haha..."

Jiang Zhan also raised the corners of his lips slightly.

After they had laughed enough, Jiang Zhan reminded them again: "They might come again, so be careful at night."

Cheng Sinian saw Jiang Zhan's eyes looking at him and Luo Zhenzhen again, and immediately nodded like pounding garlic, "I understand! No need to say more! I understand!"

Seeing this, Jiang Zhan nodded with satisfaction and did not emphasize it anymore.

Qiao Yu chuckled inwardly. After a moment's thought, he looked at Yu Qingchuan again, "Is Qingchuan starting work today?"

"No." Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "The research institute gave me three days of adjustment leave."

Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, "Oh, that's quite humane!"

Yu Qingchuan shrugged with a hint of approval on his face.

"That's perfect, let's go out for a walk later." Qiao Yu swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and let Jiang Zhan wipe her mouth. "I heard that the market at the survivor base in City G has everything and you can find a lot of treasures. Let's go and take a look later!"

"By the way, let's go to the Mercenary Hunter Mission Hall and see if there are any other small missions nearby. Our team's points are still very low, so we need to hurry and raise them."

Qiao Yu didn’t care about the few reward crystal cores, but the higher the level of the mission, the more likely it was that he would come into contact with the top leadership team of the base.

They can't just rely on Yu Qingchuan.

After all, no matter how powerful the research institute was, it was still a civilian position. Even if Yu Qingchuan was highly regarded, it would be difficult for him to gain access to the core military strength of the base in a short period of time.

The ones who can really turn the tide are the three commanders who hold heavy troops...
