Chapter 255 257 Paper Mill
"Don't cut my hand, I have something to say. What do you want to know? I can tell you everything." When Cao Xing saw Cui Lie's eyes looking at his right hand, he was immediately frightened. It was not easy to survive in the end times. If his hand was cut off, it would be better to take his life.
"Then I'll remember your hand for now. I'll ask you again at the end." Although Cui Lie was talking to Cao Xing, his eyes were looking at other people.
The remaining robbers who were not seriously injured all showed a hint of anxiety in their glances. They did not expect to encounter such a thing and had not reached a consensus in advance. If they said something wrong and angered this man, they might lose their lives.
Rong Xianxian looked at the mechanical watch on her wrist. It was already past six o'clock. It seemed that she would have to find a place to stay nearby tonight.
Rong Xianxian thought that it would take a long time to pry useful information out of this group of people, but she didn't expect Cui Lie's interrogation to end so quickly.
"Sister Rong, the dense forest we just passed by appeared after the end of the world. There is a small path in the middle of the dense forest, which leads to a factory area at the back. That is a paper mill. There is a big river behind it. Several of these people were originally employees of the paper mill. Life in the safe zone is too hard, and it is too dangerous to find supplies and hunt monsters. In order to make some money, they gathered a group of people and robbed passers-by nearby. In addition to these dozen people, there are more than a dozen people at the paper mill. Most of these people are former prisoners. When the safe zone was first built, the construction site environment was not very safe, and they took advantage of the chaos to run away." Cui Lie said to Rong Xianxian.
Rong Xianxian checked the map of the area surrounding the Taijing safe zone before the end of the world that she had found in the previous safe zone, and found the location of the paper mill, which was not far from here.
"This was found on the bodies of the two Chongmai realm practitioners." Cui Lie handed two booklets to Rong Xianxian. Rong Xianxian took a look and found that one was a common basic practice method, and the other was "What you must know about the basic techniques of refining equipment". Both booklets were originals, not copied. The basic practice methods were fine, Rong Xianxian had many of them, but the latter book, "What you must know about the basic techniques of refining equipment", was very rare. Although Rong Xianxian did not live long enough in her previous life, she knew that in the future refiners would become a very popular and sought-after profession.
Rong Xianxian didn't expect to have an unexpected gain here, and she couldn't help but be very surprised.
Rong Xianxian read the book "Equipment Refining Techniques You Must Know" over and over again. There was an old friend in Taijing'an District who was very talented in refining equipment. She was worrying about how to persuade that person to join her team and go to the capital together. Now, this book is a good bait.
Suddenly, a noisy voice came from the other side where the battle had just taken place, "Sister Rong, the guy named Dashi has fainted, do you want to do anything about it?" Xia Kai ran over and said to Rong Xianxian.
The one called Oishi is one of the two snipers. To call them snipers is a gross overstatement. They are not qualified in terms of hiding, aiming, or physical reaction speed.
"Have these people killed anyone?" Rong Xianxian asked after a moment of silence.
"I didn't ask that. If I had asked, they would have said no in unison. There's no need to discuss this answer." Although Cui Lie said this, his expression showed that he believed these people must have killed people.
"Then don't worry about it. The paper mill is in a good location. Let's take our prisoners and meet those who stayed behind!" Rong Xianxian had already understood the implication of Cui Lie's words and didn't want to waste the medicine.
Cui Lie and Wang Lin supervised the subdued robbers and lifted the RV out of the pit. Jiang Jie replaced the spare tire for Wang Lin's car. The robbers drove a shabby pickup truck, which was hidden in the bushes not far away and was also found.
Rong Xianxian handed a dark green glass bottle to Cui Lie. Cui Lie knew that this was the venom that Rong Xianxian extracted from the poisonous frog. Just a small sip could paralyze a person's whole body for one to six hours. It would take someone's time to watch over a lively robber, rather than making him unconscious.
In order to prevent these people from waking up midway, Cui Lie deliberately increased the dosage for them. The two seriously injured were thrown into the pickup truck's cab, and the others were thrown into the pickup truck's compartment, with three people stacked in a row, and tied up with ropes on top.
It was still the off-road vehicle driven by Wang Lin that led the way, followed by Cui Lie in the off-road RV, with the small pickup truck towing behind the RV. Following the location drawn by the robbers, they found the path in the middle of the dense forest. The path was winding and hidden under tall trees. It was difficult to find without careful observation.
After walking on this path for about half an hour, I found a factory area with dense buildings.
"Be prepared for battle and be careful everyone." Rong Xianxian reminded through the sound transmission jade talisman.
Originally, Rong Xianxian just wanted to live well in the apocalypse with her children, practice martial arts and fight monsters, live a calm and dignified life, and it was not her business to eradicate evil. But who made this group of people happen to mess with her, and today they just needed a safe place to stay.
Rong Xianxian was born in an ordinary family and has a very cautious personality. She was in a weak position in her previous life and had to be particularly tolerant. As a result, she has been influenced by her past life since her rebirth. She does not want to meddle in other people's affairs and only wants to protect herself. However, since the last incident in which Cui Lie killed someone in anger in the old city of Binyang, Rong Xianxian's heart has been deeply touched.
In fact, with the current strength of their team, they are hard to beat in civilian teams of all sizes. If they act timidly, it will affect morale.
The paper mill covers a large area, and most of the factory buildings are white. The factory area is connected to a huge cylindrical device, which looks like a sewage treatment device.
There are several office buildings in the middle area, and a huge warehouse to the east.
Rong Xianxian and her group's vehicle soon arrived at the gate of the paper mill. The gate was an electric sliding door, about one meter high. Since the power outage, the electric sensing function had been obsoleted, and the gate was tightly closed and had never been opened again.
"Sister Rong, I'll go explore the way first." Cui Lie got out of the car and prepared to go in.
"Alie, wait, let's go ask them about the situation inside first!" Rong Xianxian stopped Cui Lie. It is better to be safe than sorry. This factory area is very large. In case there is an ambush inside, it would be better to have more people to take care of it.
Cao Xing was stacked on the top layer. Rong Xianxian gave him an antidote pill, and Cao Xing's originally stiff body softened immediately. He moved his hands and feet gently and looked around carefully without anyone noticing.
