Zhou Qingyun concealed his presence and quietly followed the human traffickers.
This group of human traffickers consisted of three men and one woman. The woman was around forty or fifty years old and had a very kind appearance.
This female human trafficker has a face that makes people feel friendly and approachable at first glance.
Perhaps that's why she was able to abduct women and children, because her kind face made it easy for her to gain people's trust.
The other three human traffickers, one about the same age as the woman and the other two looking to be in their twenties or thirties, were disguised as a family.
Four human traffickers, carrying three children, hurried through the mountains and forests, still complaining about not having caught Zhou Ling as well.
Zhou Qingyun coldly observed the four human traffickers, and without further delay, quickly subdued them.
As a max-level superhuman, dealing with four ordinary people is a piece of cake; he doesn't need to do much at all.
Of course, Zhou Qingyun still managed to produce a homemade gun. In an era when private ownership of firearms was not explicitly prohibited, there was really no problem with him producing a homemade gun.
Zhou Qingyun is a metal-type ability user; he can work with anything related to metal, including firearms.
He coldly watched the four human traffickers, then shot them all down with his homemade gun, one shot each.
Of course, he was mindful that he couldn't kill people indiscriminately. Although human traffickers were despicable, he didn't have the authority to kill them, so he only crippled the four human traffickers.
"Bang—bang—bang—bang—"
The gunshots rang out, and the houses near the back of the mountain in Guangming Brigade, as well as the villagers working at the foot of the mountain, all heard them.
"What's going on? Why are there gunshots?"
Some older people are no strangers to gunfire, after all, they came from turbulent times and had encountered it when the Japanese invaded.
Although liberation came later, some people still kept their homemade guns for their own use, and some would even take them with them when they went hunting in the mountains.
They just didn't expect that such an ordinary day would be filled with gunshots.
"Were guns used?"
Those who knew about human traffickers were also stunned by the gunshot, but they quickly recovered and rushed to find the source of the sound.
Of course, they all brought weapons. After all, they were using guns. Who knows how many people were involved in the human trafficking or what weapons they had?
Zhou Qingyun took down the four human traffickers and rendered them unable to fight, preventing them from harming the abducted children.
What if they become desperate and take the child hostage, making him hesitant to act? Wouldn't that be troublesome?
So he simply neutralized their fighting ability to ensure the safety of the three children.
After taking down the human trafficker, Zhou Qingyun went over and carried the three unconscious children aside. To his surprise, he discovered that one of the children was from their own brigade.
It seems that Zhou Ling discovered the child when the traffickers tried to abduct him, and then she was discovered by the traffickers herself.
"Fourth Uncle—"
The place where Zhou Qingyun found the human traffickers wasn't far from the village; after all, the gunshots could be heard all the way to the foot of the mountain, so the villagers quickly came looking for them.
"Jinbao!"
When a group of people rushed over, they saw a familiar one among the three unconscious children. One of the men paused for a moment and then quickly called out.
"He's been drugged by human traffickers. Take him to the clinic immediately and let Dr. Zhang take a look," Zhou Qingyun instructed.
"Yes, yes, go check it out."
The man rushed forward and hugged his son. Seeing his son unconscious, he panicked.
The fact that he could name his child "Jinbao" shows how precious this child is, as he is his only son.
He couldn't imagine how devastated he, his parents, and his wife would be if their son couldn't be found.
"Take the other two back and have the doctor take a look."
Zhou Qingyun was calm and collected, and he was holding a homemade gun. His appearance made people believe in him. He led his men to find something and tied up the human traffickers.
After watching the villagers take the traffickers and children away, Zhou Qingyun glanced back at the mountain.
He sensed that something was wrong.
What else is on the mountain?
Although their Brightness Brigade is not from a remote place, nor is it particularly close to the city, it shouldn't be the kind of place that spies or secret agents like to come, right?
They're not in Northeast China, so there shouldn't be any bacteria or viruses left behind by the Japanese like in other eras, right?
Zhou Qingyun was somewhat uneasy.
"Fourth Uncle, aren't you leaving yet?" A nephew of the Zhou family turned around to look at Zhou Qingyun. Why was his fourth uncle still standing there?
Weren't the human traffickers caught?
Actually, this nephew was also very surprised that the human traffickers were caught so quickly. They didn't even have to confront the traffickers directly; his fourth uncle took care of four traffickers all by himself.
"Fourth Uncle, you're amazing! These are four human traffickers, and they have three more in their hands. You managed to take them down."
"Fourth Uncle, you never served in the army like Third Uncle, how are you so amazing?"
Zhou Qingyun: "..."
"I fought against the Japanese when I was young," Zhou Qingyun replied helplessly.
The original owner did indeed fight against the Japanese, although he was young at the time, he did have such an experience.
As for Zhou Qingyun himself, in the apocalypse, he had to kill zombies, mutated plants and animals, and even some ill-intentioned humans.
He has extensive combat experience.
"Oh, I forgot that you, Fourth Uncle, also participated in a few battles with the troops back then."
