Suddenly the car braked sharply, forcing Ning Yanlan to exit her cultivation state.
"What happened?"
Zhu Penghai said, "There are roadblocks on the bridge ahead; someone must be planning a robbery!"
"Could that stretch of tin-roofed houses stretching for miles ahead be Refugee Camp No. 1?!"
Across the river, Jiang Yuan could see the long campsite built around the river.
“Yes, that’s Refugee Camp No. 1! This used to be Huanjiang District. Although it’s not in the southern part of the city, it was no less wealthy than the city proper,” Zhu Penghai explained.
"There are people over there!" Jiang Yuan caught sight of several figures hiding behind the roadblock.
“We can’t force our way through. Those lunatics might have planted bombs on the bridge.” Zhu Penghai frowned as he looked at the roadblocks.
"Let's get out of the car and see who they are, daring to rob us on the road here!" Jiang Yuan said.
As soon as the car door opened, the first person to appear was Xiong Yong, a 1.9-meter-tall giant carrying a large shield. The group had the imposing presence of a van full of people—or rather, a van full of people.
"This bridge is occupied by our Northern City Alliance. If you want to cross, you must pay the toll!" a shifty-eyed man shouted as he emerged from behind the barricade.
"Northern City Alliance?" Zhu Penghai pondered information about the Northern City Alliance in his mind.
"Damn it, they charge a toll to leave the south city, and now they're charging a bridge fee to enter the refugee camp. What do they take us for?!" Qian Kai said angrily.
"Just a few people, let's go!" Xiong Yong charged toward the roadblock with his shield, his momentum comparable to that of a tank.
"Keep up!"
Jiang Yuan and the others didn't want to cause any more trouble. If you replaced them with another army guarding the area, they might obediently hand over their goods. But if you set up a roadblock and bring in a few thugs to collect tolls, wouldn't that be too disrespectful? If they don't beat you up, who will they beat up?
"Charge with shields!"
"Aura of Resilience!"
As soon as Xiong Yong charged forward, the Gale Squad followed closely behind in perfect unison. Meanwhile, those behind the roadblock started to panic. "If you dare to charge, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Suddenly, a roadblock collapsed, and a Gatling gun emitting blue flames appeared abruptly in front of them.
Holy crap!
Xiong Yong, who was charging ahead, felt a pang of guilt. "You think you have a Gatling gun for robberies? Are you out of your mind?!"
But now that things had come to this, he couldn't back down. He blocked the bullets with his large shield and forced his way forward. In just ten seconds, the shield was already riddled with holes.
"The Veil of Falling Snow!"
Fortunately, Ning Yanlan intervened, throwing a ball of psionic energy at the roadblock from behind her shield. Soon, the flaming Gatling gun couldn't withstand the low temperature of the Falling Snow Veil and went out.
"Shield Bash!"
Xiong Yong was already simmering with anger, and as soon as the Gatling gun stopped, he unleashed the shield warrior's strongest attack—Shield Bash.
In the collision between the large shield and the roadblock, Xiong Yong was clearly superior. Large swathes of sandbags and iron frames were knocked away, and the men who were taking cover and firing shots from behind were all knocked down.
One for each person!
Soon, Jiang Yuan and the others tidied it up one by one and then piled it up.
"You bastard, try shooting your grandpa with a Gatling gun!" Xiong Yong slapped the guy who had brought the Gatling gun across the face.
"We, the Northern City Alliance..."
*Slap!* Another slap. "Speak up, what about the North City Alliance!"
"Northern Alliance..."
*Slap!* Xiong Yong deliberately stopped him from finishing, and sneered, "No need to say anything more, we'll go in and meet the Northern City Alliance ourselves!"
Zhu Penghai's expression froze for a moment, then he said, "I seem to remember what this Northern City Alliance is!"
"Is he powerful?" Xiong Yong turned to look at Zhu Penghai.
"Since we've already started fighting, who cares how powerful they are!" Zhu Penghai gritted his teeth, then suddenly kicked one of the men in the face. The man was stunned and passed out.
"Come on, guys, go all out! Make sure they don't wake up for at least half a day!"
Zhu Penghai saw that everyone had stopped and urged them to hurry up.
"Boss, don't tell us the North City Alliance is really that strong!" Qian Kai felt a jolt in his heart. Thinking about it, it made sense. Who would bring a Gatling gun when they were robbing someone? Their identity must be extraordinary.
"It's alright, we're not here to hang out! We'll knock these guys out, bring Xiao Xin back, and head straight to Nancheng. What can the Beicheng Alliance do to us then?" Zhu Penghai said casually.
"Um, are you sure?"
"Nonsense, be ruthless, but be careful not to kill anyone, or you'll really have a blood feud!" Zhu Penghai kicked another person, knocking him unconscious.
Having found a role model, Jiang Yuan and his group had no choice but to take action and knock them unconscious one by one.
"Let's go, before the Northern Alliance reacts, let's hurry and find Xiao Xin!"
