Chapter 500 Chapter 502 The Last General
During the initial stage of the construction of the Beijing Safety Zone, the authorities were busy with cleanup, rescue, and construction. Big Beijing families like the Gong family, relying on their rich family background and numerous subordinates who were dependent on them, made a lot of profits in secret. In addition, they bought houses, managed the land, and did business in the safety zone, and hunted monsters, collected treasures, and collected supplies outside the safety zone, accumulating a large amount of wealth and gaining control of abundant resources.
The hottest topic in the capital these days is the contest between the Tianhe Mercenary Group and the Gong Family. The Tianhe Mercenary Group became famous in one battle and has a strong army. The Gong Family has a deep background and is wealthy. Gong Hanyu spent a large amount of money and hired many desperate criminals to constantly test and attack the former Gong Family base occupied by the Tianhe Mercenary Group. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a tactic of the Gong Family to tire out the troops, and the Gong Family is choosing the most appropriate time to attack.
One is a rising star, the other is an old strongman. The battle between the two sides attracted a lot of attention.
This situation lasted for about four days. Just when everyone was speculating when the two sides would officially engage in a firefight, the Tianhe Mercenary Group suddenly evacuated their strategically located base. Families in the capital booed, thinking that the Tianhe Mercenary Group was scared and had given up. However, they did not expect that the personnel sent by the Gong family to take over the base never came out again.
In anger, Gong Hanyu threw countless explosives into the stronghold, razing almost all the buildings to the ground. When he sent people in again, they still couldn't get out.
There were also many experts who were secretly watching this contest. Some of them could tell at a glance that a secret formation was set up in the stronghold. This formation was huge in scale and used many traps. Anyone who stepped into it would be trapped and unable to escape.
After Gong Hanyu learned about this situation, he invited the two most powerful formation masters in the capital to break the formation together. While the formation masters were breaking the formation, the Tianhe Mercenary Group and the mercenary group supported by the Gong family had another fierce duel outside the formation. This was the second head-on confrontation between the two sides. Both sides were elite soldiers and evenly matched, and the battle situation remained tense.
Perhaps it was because the large formation that Ning Qingyun had set up was too difficult, or perhaps the instability in the rear affected the performance of the two formation masters. Even until the mercenaries fighting in the rear sounded the call, the formation masters still could not break the formation.
"Captain, the formation you set up is so powerful, can we set it up in our other stronghold as well?" Zhang Yihan asked with a smile. If such a formation was set up in another stronghold, they wouldn't have to be on guard against sneak attacks all the time.
"Do you think the materials for the formation are so easy to obtain?" Ning Qingyun asked him back, while glancing around.
In order to gather all the materials needed to set up the formation, Ning Qingyun ran around almost all the exchanges and black markets in the capital, and only then was he able to gather all the materials needed to set up the formation.
After a few days of rest and psychological counseling, most of the team members have adapted to this combat mode. Only a few were eliminated and left the team due to psychological problems.
"Captain, news came from Chaolu that Gong Hanyu has been visiting the leaders of several famous mercenary groups in the capital recently. These include the Tiger Mercenary Group with an official background and the Sword Mercenary Group managed by Madam Ning San's family. These two mercenary groups are both six-star mercenary groups with bases in the safe zone. If someone really joins forces with them, the situation will be very unfavorable for us." Mingyan stood up and reported the information to Ning Qingyun.
"So what do you think about this situation?" Ning Qingyun looked around, wanting to hear his subordinates' opinions.
"Since we want to fight for a place in the capital, these vested interests will definitely not sit idly by and watch. We will have to face these situations sooner or later." Chai Ming said without thinking.
"That's right, Captain. One of the two places we occupied is adjacent to the Misty Forest, which is full of mutant plants, precious herbs, and abundant resources. The other is a major traffic artery where three roads intersect. Expedition teams and caravans entering and leaving the capital all pass through here. I roughly calculated the daily output of these two places. It only takes half a year for our mercenary group to be upgraded to six stars in these two places." Mingyin said, holding a thick notebook.
"Oh, by the way, Mingyin, didn't you go on a mission with the Tiger Mercenaries? What do you think of their strength?" Yang Ping suddenly asked.
When Yang Ping said this, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Mingyin is following Ning Qingtian and following my instructions, as are many other members of the intelligence team. There are still people lurking around the enemy. After they complete their mission and return to the organization, no one is allowed to mention the previous events again." Ning Qingyun emphasized seriously.
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"Captain, I have no other intention." Yang Ping hurriedly stood up and explained.
"It's okay, Captain. The leader of the Tiger Mercenaries is a relative of the Ninth Young Master Ning Qingtian's mother's family. Judging from the attitude of the Ninth Young Master's lineage, they will not make things difficult for you. However, I dare not say what the attitude of the leader of the Tiger Mercenaries is."
"The Ninth Young Master's men mainly rely on thermal weapons. Because they have a cooperative relationship with the official, they have many thermal weapons that cannot be bought at the exchange, and even have new weapons developed by the official. It is said that the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group has a team composed of practitioners under his command, but it is unknown how strong their combat effectiveness is." Mingyin returned to Ning Qingyun's team when he was in the Jintang Safety Zone, and his knowledge of the Tiger Mercenary Group headquarters was limited to hearsay.
"Captain, news has come from the city gate that a team of new explorers have entered the city and are inquiring about you." Mingyan received information reported by his subordinates who were stationed near the city gate to gather information.
"This is a portrait drawn by the artist based on the leader's appearance described by the informant. Please take a look." Mingyan handed over a portrait with the ink still wet.
"Ah!" Chai Ming suddenly stood up with a cry as if he was scalded.
Everyone else looked at him in shock. Obviously, they had never expected that Military Advisor Chai, who always had a steady and wise image, would make such a move and make such a sound.
Chai Ming didn't seem to notice the reactions of others, and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, isn't this Crazy Pan?"
"Pan Yang!" Ning Qingyun corrected Chai Ming's words in a good mood.
"Boss, didn't he go abroad before the end of the world?" Chai Ming obviously knew this person.
"You were in the northwest when the end of the world came, and now you are back, right?" Pan Yang's timely arrival put Ning Qingyun in a good mood.
"Aming, take some people to support him. If other people come forward, he might not believe it!" Ning Qingyun ordered.
"Yes!" Although Chai Ming was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to refute and still accepted the order and left.
