When Liu Nian got back into the car, there were less than two hours left before dawn.
The level of these nocturnal monsters was increasing, which Liu Nian hadn't expected.
However, even if their strength increases, they are still no match for Liu Nian's current summoned creatures.
Although it wasted some time, we managed to drive the monster away safely.
Lying in the back seat, Liu Nian carefully recalled the details of what had just happened, making sure there were no mistakes.
We learned from our conversations before the trip that the Axe Gang also had a group on this trip.
The escort team consisted of the gang's elite members, suggesting that the goods they were escorting must be extremely valuable, given that they had even brought along their vassal members.
This is another reason why Dumina is unwilling to clash with the Crocodile Gang.
Liu Nian dismantled all the Crocodile Gang members' equipment, and their remains were inside the ghouls' bellies. There shouldn't be any problems, right?
Moreover, the battles with the monsters all took place in the area where the Crocodile Gang lived, and he only returned under the cover of night after the monsters were driven back.
As for hiding the monster's corpse in his own space, that shouldn't be a big problem.
The team also acquired quite a few cards, but Liu Nian dismantled several equipment cards, as they seemed rather conspicuous at this critical juncture and couldn't be kept.
As dawn broke, Liu Nian was wide awake. Before the system notification, several figures stealthily made their way towards the Crocodile Gang's territory.
Are they planning to rob us in the first fall?
I don't care anyway. The more chaotic the crime scene, the better. I'll take the lion's share, and the rest of the small fry can do whatever they want.
Liu Nian also got out of the car and stretched happily; she really hadn't been sleeping comfortably in the car.
Du Mingna got up very early and greeted Liu Nian with a smile as she watched him inspecting the area around the house.
"Nothing went wrong tonight, right?"
"No, everything is calm!" Liu Nian replied expressionlessly to the regimental commander.
"The monsters are a bit noisy, I wonder if someone will suffer the consequences."
"That's good. You've worked hard. Go get some sleep first. I'll have someone bring you breakfast."
"Okay." Liu Nian didn't refuse; if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.
After Liu Nian got into the car, people gradually came out of the surrounding houses.
Soon, people near the Crocodile Gang noticed the anomaly and rushed to the Axe Gang's headquarters to report it.
The commotion lasting all night kept them awake. Once they confirmed the Crocodile Gang was in trouble at dawn, they promptly went to report it. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle the blame being placed on them.
The leader of the Axe Gang was still asleep and was furious at being woken up.
They'd better have something important to do, or they'll regret meeting me.
Thinking this, Lou Nanfeng slowly walked outside.
They occupied the largest and most luxurious house in the village, and the gang members at the door eagerly pushed open the door for them to leave.
The person who came in from outside was also a leader of a first-level alliance. They had a good relationship with the Crocodile Gang, so they lived next door to them.
He vividly recounted the Crocodile Gang's ordeal to Lou Nanfeng, even shedding a few tears when he got emotional. Unsuspecting people would have thought he had lost a relative.
After listening to this person's long-winded rambling, Lou Nan almost slapped him across the face. What nonsense was he spouting? He didn't even know how to get to the point.
He only managed to suppress his urge to hit someone after hearing that the Crocodile Gang members had been attacked by monsters the previous night.
"Get Gouzi here!" Lou Nanfeng told the person in charge to leave first, then said to the gang members at the door.
"It would be best if he said it was true, that we, the Axe Gang, are always the ones bullying others, and we must never let others bully us."
Lou Nanfeng didn't believe it was an accident; the timing was too coincidental. He pondered which members of the team going to D City had a grudge against the Axe Gang.
Soon, an unremarkable-looking man came over with his gang.
The man who arrived was none other than the one known as "Dog." Despite his ridiculous nickname, he was a former criminal investigator.
In peacetime, he discovers clues in several locations that were initially classified as accidents, thus solving cases and possessing abilities that contradict his appearance.
Lou Nanfeng decided that he should lead the team to check out the venue first.
...
When the dog headed to the crime scene, Liu Nian and his group were having breakfast.
The other members inside seemed to have received the news as well, and they were all overjoyed, as if it were Chinese New Year.
"Have you heard?" Ye Muli, with one arm in a sling, approached Liu Nian, looking at her calm demeanor.
Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, so how can it not extinguish your enthusiasm?
Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Liu Nian pretended not to notice and continued eating.
Seeing that Liu Nian had no intention of responding, Ye Muli felt bored and stopped keeping him in suspense, revealing the answer directly.
"I heard that the Crocodile Gang was invaded by monsters last night, and it seems that they were all killed. The Axe Gang has already sent people over to investigate."
Listening to Ye Muli's vivid description, Liu Nian initially didn't pay much attention. However, upon hearing that someone was going to investigate, she blinked and paused in her eating.
Perhaps sensing her emotional fluctuations, Liu Nian paused for a moment before continuing to eat.
Does he have to be so cold-hearted? He's completely unmoved by this!
Seeing Liu Nian's nonchalant attitude, Ye Muli felt defeated and moved closer to the right, intending to harass He Zeyu.
His natural ease and familiarity with others are truly admirable.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Du Mingna didn't give him a chance to speak again and instead arranged today's tasks around the fire.
Ye Muli's desire to confide was interrupted, which made him extremely dissatisfied, but no one paid attention to him, so he could only helplessly obey Du Mingna's assignment.
The unexpected death of a member of the Crocodile Gang finally brought a hint of joy to everyone's faces, but happiness aside, life must go on.
We will arrive at a village called Sunset Village this evening, where we can rest tonight.
Ye Muli was very happy to hear that she wouldn't have to sleep outdoors, but Liu Nian noticed that the other members didn't seem to be very happy.
However, one point is worth noting, Du Mingna changed the subject.
The route passes through a village full of infected people. Some time ago, someone risked their life to count that there were about a thousand infected people entrenched there, making it impossible to clear them out. The only option was to go all out and rush through.
Falling behind means death, so please make sure to check carefully before you set off.
"Isn't there a way to take a longer route?" Liu Nian asked instinctively upon hearing this.
“The village is surrounded by mountains, and this is the only road that goes straight through. If we take a longer route, it will take about five days, and we will be spending those five days wandering in the mountains, where we will have to camp in the wild, which is even riskier,” Du Mingna explained patiently with a smile.
He wasn't the first to ask this question, nor will he be the last.
If it's close to a thousand in number, it's not impossible to consider soloing them, we'll see!
If you're not too far from that village, you really can solo it.
Liu Nian remained silent, pondering this question.
Seeing the two new members remain silent, Shield Guard Wang Gang smiled and reassured them, "Don't be afraid, we've already run this countless times, there won't be any problems."
In the middle of the conversation, there was a knock on the door.
"Axe Gang, come out here!" a voice rang out.
