Bai Shuang and his men finally took care of the three major coal bandit strongholds. Today, they'll go back to the mountains, have a good meal, and then get some rest.
After waiting a week, bring the ostrich and the Zuo family's medicine back.
While the group lived a leisurely life in the mountains, some people in the Dragon City base were having a hard time.
First, Ma San was beaten so badly his head turned into a pig's head. His colleagues heard that it was because he had given someone false information.
As it turned out, the enemy had ten men and five horses, fully prepared, and even had prepared hand grenades that they usually wouldn't use.
The villagers shivered in the snow, many fell ill, and some even died that very night.
Everyone took turns keeping watch for three whole days, but they didn't even see a single car.
The boss sent his subordinates to demand the news and grain from Ma San. Those subordinates were angry, so they dragged them to a secluded place, grabbed them, and beat them.
Ma San not only failed to gain any information or supplies, but also got beaten up, ruining his reputation in the bandit community.
Zhang Li (Zuo Shao's ex-girlfriend) knew they had messed things up, so she pretended to be sick and stayed in bed. She still vividly remembered the time Ma San beat her up, and her body still ached. Not to mention what her gang of brothers had done to her...
She had just regained Ma San's favor by using all her charm and beauty, but who knew...
Zhang Li was used to being arrogant and haughty because of her beauty, and those women were all dissatisfied with her.
Her roommates saw that she was pretending to be sick to avoid Ma San, and they were all thinking of finding an opportunity to mess with her.
At noon, a woman was feeding Ma San, but Ma San's mouth was swollen and he couldn't open it wide enough to get food in with a regular spoon.
"Zhang Li, send a small spoon over by express delivery."
Zhang Li knew she was doing it on purpose, but if she didn't go, she would be disrespecting Boss Ma and wouldn't escape punishment. So she had no choice but to bite the bullet, pretend to be weak, and take the small spoon over.
She handed over the spoon and turned to walk back, trying to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible, but she still heard a voice that terrified her.
\"etc.\"
He remembered that it was this woman who had initially encouraged him to oppose those people.
He was in so much pain these past few days that he couldn't think of anything else, but seeing Zhang Li reminded him of something.
This time, sending the message was also her idea.
It's not that Ma San is unreliable, but that this woman is a jinx who has been harming him all along.
"From now on, you can give it to the brothers to play with."
He's in pain all over his body right now, and he doesn't want to be hit or scolded. This is the most appropriate punishment.
The two men guarding the door grinned when they heard this; they were in for some fun again.
Although his voice wasn't loud, it struck Zhang Li like a bolt from the blue. She never wanted to experience being gang-raped by multiple men again.
Last time, there was a woman who was literally played to death by those men.
But she had no regrets whatsoever about her attempt to harm Bai Shuang and the others.
Zhang Li looked up and saw the woman who had just fed her. A triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
Her blood rushed to her head, and she involuntarily lunged forward, grabbing the other person's neck.
Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!
"Someone come here!"
Ma San spoke up in time.
"Drag him down, tie his hands and feet, and leave him to die as he may."
………………
Among the high-ranking officials at the Dragon City base, some are also having trouble sleeping.
The most powerful coal bandits disappeared without a trace in a day, no, half a day. Although Dragon City appeared to be no different from usual on the surface, it still caused a stir among the high-ranking officials of all parties.
These are bandits who have been entrenched in the best sections of the road since the apocalypse, and many people have tried to eliminate them, but ultimately failed.
Everyone in the area knows whose dogs they are.
They have their own sources of information, and Ma San is not qualified to deal with them.
The matter of replacing Bai Shuang with another horse was advocated by the Zuo family. Since it was in the interest of the base, most people agreed.
Horses are precious, but the base still has dozens, and they can be bred.
If there were more ostriches at the base, everyone could eat ostrich meat and eggs, especially those who didn't lack points.
As we all know, ostrich meat and eggs are not only delicious, but also very nutritious and have health benefits.
Ostriches, in particular, are quite cold-resistant and easy to raise.
Everyone agreed that those who wanted to oppose them were useless to oppose, even though it didn't harm their own interests, they just didn't want the Zuo family to have an easy time.
The Zuo family knew who was behind the Lightning (Horse) poisoning incident, but if the other party was capable, they wouldn't leave any loose ends.
The investigation only resulted in the punishment of the underlings, with little impact on those behind the scenes.
The horse wasn't poisoned, which was really frustrating. Knowing that Bai Shuang and the others were going to deliver coal back, he immediately sent out the news and ordered them that if they couldn't eat it, they should join forces.
He knew the strength of the number one coal bandit, and he didn't believe you could escape this time.
The coal truck had been gone for several days, and there was still no good news. They hadn't even seen a trace of the coal truck.
Three days later, a high-ranking official finally couldn't sit still any longer and sent someone to investigate. The news that came back was that the stronghold was gone.
"Gone? What do you mean, gone?"
When I heard that everyone was dead and all the supplies had been taken, I almost fainted.
That was his life's work, into which he had invested a great deal of resources. Whether it was for accumulating wealth or serving as a henchman, it had always been very useful.
"How could that be? So many people, so many supplies, not to mention ample weaponry."
At this moment, he would think that it was done by the powerful force with whom they had a conflict of interest. He would never believe anyone who said it was Bai Shuang and the other two.
But he could only suspect others, swallowing his pride and blood. He not only dared not admit that they were his henchmen, but also had to agree with them even if others mentioned them.
"Good riddance. Peace will prevail after this area is wiped out."
The next day, even more shocking news arrived: the second and third ranked coal bandit hideouts were also deserted and empty.
Although these two were not his, he could still sense the strength of his opponents.
An investigation revealed that some people saw it done by nearby villagers, but how could those villagers have such ability?
If they had that ability, they wouldn't have waited until now.
………………
The Zuo family was naturally aware that three bandit dens had been wiped out at the same time.
On the day Bai Shuang and the others delivered coal back, they knew the journey was dangerous, but they said nothing.
They knew that it took skill to drive safely all the way from Tangcheng in such extremely cold conditions.
They won't help Bai Shuang unless she asks for it.
This is also their way of doing things; Bai Shuang is not one of their own, at most she can only be considered a friend.
They wanted to see just how capable Bai Shuang really was.
Conversely, if she needs something from the Zuo family, it's actually a good thing, as they can then make an exchange.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
They knew, and Bai Shuang knew too.
They just didn't expect this to happen.
Was it Bai Shuang and her two companions who did it? Or was it someone else who did it, just a coincidence?
If it really was those three people who did it, then this little girl is amazing.
