Chapter 144: Fighting in the Cave



In the deep underground world of Bianliang, the Wuyou Cave headquarters is like a hell on earth.

Wuyou Cave's headquarters is located underground in the outer city's Cai River, with "Spring Dawn at Fantai," one of the eight scenic spots in Bianliang, just above it. The area has many riverbanks, and beneath them are numerous drainage pipes, making it easy for people to enter and exit.

Moreover, because it is close to Xuanhua Gate and Puji Gate, even if something unexpected happens, they can escape from the city, so it has gradually become a place where evil forces are stationed.

The pipes below crisscross, weaving a dense water network system, and the headquarters of Wuyou Cave is in a secret cave. One needs to take a boat to an underground dock, then climb a three-meter-high rock and drill in from the bottom.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, but once you get inside, it becomes much larger. Numerous caves of varying sizes have been artificially excavated inside, housing thousands of people. There are also underground rivers, providing ample oxygen and escape routes.

In this situation, Wuyou Cave is in a position that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if a flood occurs, unless the water spreads to the upper caves, it will remain safe most of the time.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. It is too close to Cai River, and the government troops can take a boat and directly attack the entrance of the cave.

At this time, the caverns at the bottom were filled with various screams. Staying down there for a long time had gradually twisted the minds of these vicious people, and they began to take pleasure in torturing the victims they had captured.

In addition to rape, they have tortured and killed countless victims these days. Although they still have to rely on them for money or use them as hostages, they are relatively restrained.

But if this continues, if there is no news from above, or if they cannot get out, and if the food supply gets less and less, the fate of these hostages may become even more miserable. Not only will they not have food, they may even be used as food.

Outside a cave on the lower level, several young men, knives tucked into their waistbands, warily watched everyone passing by. Even now, things weren't peaceful in Wuyou Cave; sometimes, fights would break out to relieve everyone's stress.

"When do you think the higher-ups will send someone down?"

"It'll be soon."

"We won't keep waiting until all their food is gone before sending anyone."

"Zhisi is not that kind of person. Be patient and wait."

They spoke in low voices.

The ancients had anti-reconnaissance awareness, but firstly, not everyone had it, and secondly, it was far less powerful than it is today.

At least the underground evil forces in Bianliang were unable to screen out the undercover agents.

They couldn't even imagine that the government would send undercover agents.

So at this time, each force had an insider from the Imperial City Bureau, and when they came down, they all hid a piece of red cloth on their bodies.

We were told before that once the fighting started, we should tie a red cloth on our right arm to distinguish between friend and foe.

One of the men glanced into a cave not far away. There was a lamp on the cave, and seven or eight men were playing dice, drinking and eating meat on the table, with naked women serving them.

From inside the cave, one could hear a woman moaning, sounding like she was in pain or excitement, and occasionally, various screams and other random sounds of beating, scolding, and reprimanding.

In this dark underground, there is basically no other activity except gambling and having fun.

As gang members who had escaped from outside, they didn't have any women of their own down there, so naturally they didn't have to stand by and watch. But these days, the crimes down there were even worse than they had imagined.

The north side, near the river, was stinking. From time to time, you could see people carrying corpses, some covered in blood, some missing arms and legs, and some simply as bottles.

"A group of people will be sent up soon. I think it's my turn to go this time."

One of the young men whispered, "I've been down there for so long, I feel like I'm going crazy. I really want to draw my knife and kill everyone. I want to kill all these beasts."

"Okay, don't worry. Even if no one is sent down from above, we can still go up."

The leader said, "The blockade is tight now. The cave master won't send his trusted followers. He will only send people like us who are on the periphery or have escaped from outside. As long as they need to send people up to gather information and collect supplies, we can contact Zhisi and let him know when to act."

"Shh!"

Another person hissed, signaling for silence.

Sure enough, a drunk man walked out of the cave next to him, walked to a nearby cave, urinated, and then staggered back.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone had their hands on their waists, tightly gripping their sharp knives.

In such an environment, no one wants to be the next person to die, and everyone's nerves are on edge.

Don't provoke others, but don't let others bully you either.

Being undercover isn't easy either.

At the same time, another thing was happening in the upper cave of Wuyou Cave.

The upper cave is much more comfortable and spacious, and there is even a house built there. Although it is just a simple wooden house, it is much better than the cave below.

Outside a wooden house, several middle-aged men were sitting on the flat ground, and from a cave nearby, a woman's screams were heard.

One of the middle-aged men couldn't stand it any longer and shouted to the inside: "Don't beat them to death. We still rely on them to make money in the future."

"hehe."

A middle-aged man also emerged from the cave. He was filthy, dressed in a silk robe. The whip in his hand was stained with blood, and a green tattoo was visible on his arm. He said coldly to the people outside, "I'm not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? A bunch of poor outsiders are bossing me around!"

"snort!"

The men outside snorted coldly, and the muscular man in the lead said, "If you're itching to fight, why not fight me?"

The middle-aged man also had helpers. A dozen people gathered around him and shouted, "Who's afraid of you?"
