The phone immediately crackled to life.
"What! The trade caravan was attacked by the Waste Tide? What happened? Hmm? That's not right! Didn't the trade caravan already arrive at Happy 101 Fortress? I was the one who opened the gate, I can't be mistaken."
"Liu Zhuang, tell me about the situation on your end."
Looking at the scene of corpses strewn across the field, Liu Zhuang couldn't help but say, "Captain, the situation is terrible. A lot of people have died. Also, the cargo trucks of the trade convoy are missing. I counted, and two armored vehicles are missing, as is one off-road vehicle."
"If you saw the cargo trucks go in, Captain, did they say they were attacked? This is a big deal, Captain, you'd better inform the city lord right now."
Captain: "Holy crap, have these Wild Tide people eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard? Not only did they dare to attack the trade caravan, but they even impersonated the caravan? What are they trying to do? Damn it! I'm going to inform the city lord right now. Liu Zhuang, you guard the scene and don't let anyone destroy it."
Liu Zhuang: "Yes, don't worry."
......
The captain talked to Liu Zhuang while running. After hanging up, he immediately sped up. Fortunately, he was a level 14 gene warrior, so his speed was still acceptable.
Soon, the captain arrived at the city lord's mansion. He glanced at the vehicles outside and frowned. They were SUVs from a trade caravan.
This discovery made him quicken his pace, and soon he saw the city lord in the hall.
He glanced at the person sitting opposite the city lord, who was the head of the trade caravan. He quietly approached the city lord from behind and respectfully spoke.
Captain: "Lord, Miss is insisting on seeing you and hasn't had breakfast yet."
Upon hearing this, the city lord, who was talking to the head of the trade caravan, frowned, glanced at the captain, and was about to speak to the caravan leader when the other party spoke first.
Trade Manager: "Haha, Lord City Lord, you go ahead and get busy. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
City Lord: "Well, hehe, my daughter was a bit rude. Well, I'll cover your caravan's accommodation this time. Hehe, I'll take my leave now."
After speaking, the city lord, led by the captain, slowly walked up the stairs.
The trade official watched the city lord leave, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then left the city lord's mansion as if nothing had happened.
Looking out the second-floor window at the departing trade manager, the city lord frowned and then spoke to the captain beside him.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Captain: "Lord, I just received a call from team member Liu Zhuang. He said that the trade caravan was attacked by the Wild Tide and suffered heavy casualties, but when the caravan entered the city, there was absolutely no sign of an attack?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord frowned and then asked, "Where is it?"
Team leader: "Liu Zhuang is currently protecting the scene near the Hongxia River Bridge."
City Lord: "Hmm... You take some men and keep an eye on them. I'll go check out the Red Cloud River Bridge first. If anything happens, let me know immediately."
Captain: "Yes! I'll take care of it right away."
......
After making the phone call, Liu Zhuang immediately put down the spiky rat and the bag he was carrying, then picked up his weapon, took off his coat, revealing his city guard uniform.
Chen Ping: "Oh, what's this? You're moving so fast, it doesn't seem like you're a hunter at all."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhuang laughed and said, "When you're traveling, you need to have an identity, right? Hehe, besides, I'm on vacation right now. Sigh, I didn't expect to run into something like this."
"Trying to get a good deal, but ended up losing my vacation. How unlucky."
Seeing Liu Zhuang's speechless expression, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile and then said.
Chen Ping: "So now you need to protect the scene? Can one person protect it?"
Looking at the chaotic scene around him, how could one person possibly keep track of everything?
Liu Zhuang: "Hehe, isn't that what I'm looking for? Right, Brother Chen Ping, you'll help me, right?"
(⊙o⊙)…
Chen Ping looked at Liu Zhuang, who was fawning over him, with a dark expression on his face. "Holy crap, he dragged me into this too?"
In the end, Chen Ping, gun in hand, stood in one direction, watching the scene. (￣ ii ￣;)
Time passed slowly, and this time, more and more people came over. Clearly, the roaring sound had attracted many people from the surrounding area.
Da da da!!
Suddenly, Chen Ping heard gunshots and looked back. Hmm, it was Liu Zhuang firing. That was quite normal, since there were many people scavenging for supplies with the convoy on his side, making it easier for a conflict to break out.
Although Liu Zhuang had a gun, the guards of the convoy, though dead, still had their equipment and weapons lying intact beside them, which was still very attractive to some people.
Logically speaking, these equipment and weapons shouldn't have been left behind, but perhaps the other side was in a hurry or for some other reason, they were left here anyway.
Since Liu Zhuang fired shots, it means someone wants to get into the scene.
Da da da!!
Gunfire suddenly increased. Oh dear, has a fierce battle broken out? Chen Ping wasn't worried about Liu Zhuang's safety. As a regular army, Liu Zhuang's equipment was far superior to that of those small-time soldiers.
Putting everything else aside, the protective shield around his body is something they can't break through.
Hmm? Chen Ping looked towards the corner ahead. He heard the sound of a car, which most likely meant that the people from Happy 101 City Fortress had arrived.
Phew~ Now I can relax.
Chen Ping glanced at the person with eager eyes staring at the weapons on site, while silently waiting for the Happy 101 people to come and take over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar of cars could be heard as more than a dozen armed off-road vehicles came into Chen Ping's view, speeding toward him.
The car stopped a few meters in front of Chen Ping, not only because he was blocking the way, but also because the scene was a mess and blocked the road.
The group got out of the car and walked over. The leader began to speak.
"You're from Liuzhuang? Tell me about the situation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not Liu Zhuang, just his friend. He's currently engaged in a fierce battle in the back, so you'd better go and provide support."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the city lord glanced at Chen Ping and then said, "Take men to support Liuzhuang."
"Yes! You're coming with me!"
Soon, a team of 10 people quickly ran towards Liuzhuang.
City Lord: "Young man, did you and Liu Zhuang discover this scene together? Could you briefly describe it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping glanced at him and said, "I'm new here and don't know much about this place. It would be better to wait for that guy from Liuzhuang to explain."
Da da da!!
Suddenly, a lot of gunfire rang out from behind, but it quickly subsided.
