Chapter 2013: Hunting Base
"How can this be..." As soon as Zhuzi finished his words, Li Zhuang had already taken action. He could not continue asking questions and could only shout, "Everyone in the village, retreat, quickly."
"Xiao San, light the lamp and stop them."
"Here it comes."
Outside the wall, a row of electric lights lit up again, illuminating most of the villagers who had already retreated. In an instant, the row of light bulbs on the opposite side were attacked by something and went out again.
"It's Antonio," said Li Zhuang.
"Where did you see him?" Xu Sa asked.
"No, I saw his unique flying knife," Li Zhuang replied.
As Li Zhuang finished speaking, several people fell down silently.
"who?"
"What's going on?"
"Who is it?"
As people around them died silently, the crowd completely panicked. They began to be wary of everyone around them. As one overly nervous person unintentionally released his supernatural power, the supernatural powers of others also began to move towards who they thought was the attacker.
Screams and curses mixed together, and the place became completely chaotic.
**
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly." Zhuzi could only see the situation through the occasional fireballs, and had no idea what was going on with the villagers, so he could only shout. However, the other people could probably see with their special powers that those who wanted to retreat should be the villagers.
"Act separately. A few of you go and deal with the vehicles outside and cut off the retreat route," Lu Weiyi said to the people standing on his right.
Li Zhuang and Wu Yue were both experts at launching sneak attacks, especially since the chaos just stirred up by Antonio was still continuing. Lu Weiyi stood in a slightly higher place and had a bird's-eye view of the whole situation, with pillars beside him, looking around from time to time, not knowing if he could see anything.
"There are more than 30 cars and a truck outside, all of them have been controlled," Xu Sa said on the walkie-talkie.
"How many of you are coming here?" Lu Weiyi asked Zhuzi.
"About a hundred," Zhuzi thought for a moment and replied.
Lu Weiyi glanced at him with a speechless look. The people under him should have only been about a hundred in total at the beginning, which means that they had at least twice as many people as the other side. They still couldn't take them down in just half a day...
"There should be more people going to launch a surprise attack somewhere else. Let's send someone to check it out." There are thirty cars, four people in each car, which is more than the ones below.
"The psychics in the village are still coming here to support us," Zhuzi became anxious when he heard it. "I'll go and inform them, these bastards," he said anxiously, and ran away. During the trot, he was tripped by a man lying on the ground. Lu Weiyi now thought that he should not be able to see.
"Turn on the car lights and provide some light," Lu Weiyi said to Xu Sa, "The rest of you should finish this quickly, some of them should have gone somewhere else."
Several cars near the wall turned on their headlights one after another, illuminating the situation on both sides of the road. While the light brought peace of mind, it also accelerated the death of some people.
"Leave one alive and ask..." Before Lu Weiyi could finish his words, the last two people were instantly killed by Antonio's two daggers from a distance.
"Uh... I said I didn't mean it, do you believe me?" Antonio shrugged towards Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi ignored him and said to the villagers, "Other parts of the village should have been attacked. You two should form a team and go with them to take a look."
Except for the injured, the psychics in the village were immediately divided into several groups. A dozen people stayed behind, and the rest ran in different directions.
"You guys gather all these corpses together, and then count some of them to see if there are any that have escaped." Lu Weiyi was observing a place a little further away, and when he turned around, he heard that Antonio was still there, and he was directing the villagers to settle the dead psychics.
In the melee, not only the enemy's people died, but also the villagers. The psychics who stayed behind wanted to take the enemy's corpses to vent their anger, but were stopped by Antonio's words and no one deliberately destroyed them.
Several people were standing outside on guard, a few were repairing the broken wall, and the injured were sitting together in the corner. Juan'er, who came over at some point, was checking and bandaging them, and their groans of pain could be heard from time to time.
At five o'clock in the morning, a large group of people came over with the old village chief behind them. Everyone held a torch in their hands. From a distance, they looked like a fire dragon. Those in the front were holding the living people hostage, and those in the back were pushing small flatbed carts filled with corpses.
The old village chief nodded towards Lu Weiyi and said to the people who stayed behind, "Did you not deal with the body?"
"No"
The old village chief nodded, lined up the living psychics, and began to interrogate them. The old village chief didn't ask them to leave, so Lu Weiyi just stood aside and listened openly.
The other party was indeed the group of people who robbed people on the road in Anjiang City. They also set up a temporary small base called the Hunting Base. Just by hearing the name, you feel that it is not a serious base, and they really don’t do serious things. There are only about twenty managers in the base, all of whom are psychics, but there are hundreds of women and beautiful boys in the base, all of whom are passers-by who are robbed, and they are specifically used to win over some managers of the Anjiang City base.
The reason they came here was because a squadron of psychics from the Anjiang City base was ordered to come and search several hospitals in the county for medicines. After Jiang He, the person in charge of Lieyan, heard the news, he wanted to win them over. He inadvertently mentioned that there were still live livestock in Lijia Village, which immediately aroused the other party's interest.
It is winter now and mutated animals are rare. The frozen meat from the last half year has long been eaten up. Any meat will immediately attract people's attention, let alone a living animal.
One was after the living animals, the other after the supplies, and they made a plan to launch a surprise attack at night.
Unfortunately, they ran into Lu Weiyi and his group...
Attacking bases to obtain supplies is something that happens in many places. Sometimes it is a team of psychics in a large base, and sometimes it may be those self-important managers.
Lu Weiyi didn't find it strange at all, but it made the people in the village very angry.
"Old thing, I advise you to let me go quickly. My brother is the deputy captain of the Dragon and Tiger Team at Anjiang Base. If you dare to touch me, my brother will slaughter everyone in your village." Among the surviving psychics, there was a young man, about twenty years old. He was suppressed but still refused to obey, and gave the order condescendingly.
"Be more polite to me!" Zhuzi, who had a bad temper, hit the young man with a stick. The young man groaned, curled up on the ground, holding his stomach, and said viciously, "Just wait, I will let my brother peel off your skin, throw all the women in your village into the brothel, beat the men to death, and boil the children alive..."
Zhuzi wanted to hit him with another stick, but was stopped by the old village chief.
"Village chief, even if we let him go, they won't let us go," Zhuzi thought the old village chief was going to compromise, so he advised.
"I know," the old village chief frowned. Whether they release the hostages or not, they have all been targeted.
"Just kill them all. If anyone comes to take revenge, we will fight them to the death." Zhuzi's eyes turned red with anger.
"If we fight, what will happen to the women and children left behind?" the old village chief asked in a low voice. He looked around and saw the crying woman guarding the dead psychic. The child looked around in confusion. He didn't even know what death meant.
The people in the village fell silent for a moment.
"Let's move," Lu Weiyi said from a distance, "Your village is not strong enough to resist a team. Since you can't win, just hide." In this world, everyone is trying hard to survive, and no one would look for them unless they have a deep hatred.
"But...we have lived here for generations." The army, with a cloth wrapped around his arm and blood on his body, spoke in a daze.
"What's more important, this place or your life? You've heard what he said. Once the psychic dies, what will happen to the women and children? Think about it carefully. It's not difficult to find a corner to hide. Otherwise, you can find a big base to rely on. However, big bases are full of competition for materials, power, and everything else. You may not be able to adapt to it." After Xu Sa finished speaking, he looked at the surviving "prisoners", "Do you have anything else to ask? We want to ask something."
The old village chief seemed to have aged a little overnight. He nodded tremblingly and said, "I will consider what you said. Just take whatever you want to ask."
"Do I need to return it?" asked Antonio, rubbing his hands eager to fight.
"..." The old village chief, "dispose of it at will."
After that, he led the village to a meeting.
There were only nine "captives" in total. When the old village chief was interrogating them, two of them kept kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and crying. The rest were either stubborn or fearless. Even the two who confessed were threatened by their eyes.
Antonio was not one of those people who cared about treating prisoners well. He looked around at the nine people and finally chose a tough guy who had a vicious look in his eyes and didn't say a word.
"I don't like the look of your eyes," Antonio said calmly, and a flying knife flew by, followed by a scream.
"My eyes, ah..." The man fell to the ground, with his hands covering his eyes, wanting to touch them but not daring to.
The rest of the people looked at this situation and seemed to suddenly realize their current situation.
Lu Weiyi didn't like this kind of scene very much. He raised his foot and was about to leave. His mental power swept over the young man who was previously "Pin Ge" and he raised his eyebrows, "Call me when you're done."
Antonio, “OK.”
An hour later, Antonio came back with information about the situation at the Flame Base and the Anjiang Base. Following him was a living person with a cowardly look on his face and a metal collar around his neck. Antonio could kill him at any time as long as he thought about it.
"Have they all been dealt with?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Well, the body was burned and then buried," Antonio said, "He was a person who had robbed the Hunting Base. His wife was killed. He can help us wipe out the Hunting Base."
"Are we going to take that place down?" This was not part of the plan, Xu Sa asked.
"They committed murder and arson, forced men and women to sell their bodies, and even served some people with quirks. The youngest was only eight years old, and they even boiled babies alive for food." Most of the team members were people with a sense of justice, and Antonio knew best how to provoke everyone's anger.
The key point is that Antonio found out through interrogation that they had a large amount of supplies stored.
