“The radio is unusable, so I’ll go tell them myself to back off immediately.”
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't look back and ran away as fast as she could.
Liao Yu stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, "Xiao Qiong..."
We hope Ji Xiaoxiao won't put herself in danger, but the supplies are of great importance and cannot be lost in any way.
Liao Yu turned around and sat in the car for a long time without moving.
His dark, deep-set eyes were misty, making it impossible to discern Liao Yu's true emotions. His face was calm, his demeanor natural, and his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins bulged.
"Damn it." Liao Yu spat out those two words viciously.
For the sake of these supplies, for the sake of the lives of the 300,000 people at Hope Base, Liao Yu sat upright, unmoved. There is a principle of giving and receiving, a truth that has been passed down through the ages.
Meanwhile, Ji Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage and told the city guards to retreat quickly. At first, everything went smoothly, but not long after, a series of ear-piercing sounds of metal clashing came from behind.
Ji Xiaoxiao used her lightness skill to quickly move backward, and saw several large trucks twisting and crashing together, completely blocking her way back.
"Damn it." Ji Xiaoxiao cursed under her breath, and swiftly struck the pressure points of those traitors. Once they escaped this calamity, there would be plenty of ways to make them reveal the mastermind behind their actions.
There was no way to retreat, and on both sides were lush, verdant bushes. The car could only drive in for a short distance before getting stuck in the bushes, unable to move forward or backward. It was like the place where Buddha cut off his own flesh to feed the eagle and sacrificed himself to feed the hunting dogs.
With no way to retreat and pursuers ahead, there was no other option but to fight. Ji Xiaoxiao went back and discussed it with Liao Yu, who agreed to Ji Xiaoxiao's plan of "not fearing death and advancing bravely."
This was a matter of life and death, and their very stomachs were at stake. The city guards assembled within two minutes. Guns were loaded, they were ready, and sharp knives and swords were concealed on their persons. The more than three hundred men formed three square formations, one hundred men in each formation, their eyes fixed intently on the front.
Breathing was unconsciously slowed down, easily masked by the whistling wind. The aroma of human flesh drifted away on the wind, wafting into the distance, reaching the noses of the hunting dogs.
"Awoo awoo awoo..."
The hunting dogs barked excitedly, each bark louder than the last, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed her ears, looking into the distance with an unhappy expression.
Gradually, a huge black hunting dog came into view.
"Here we come, to your positions, get ready."
Liao Yu raised his hand high, tense, yet slightly trembling.
One hunting dog appeared, and the others were not far behind! In a short while, a thick black mass surged in like a tidal wave, and everywhere the eyes could see were huge, ferocious-looking hunting dogs.
"Fire!" Liao Yu swung his hand down suddenly.
At the same time, the sound of gunfire rang out and continued for a long time.
With overwhelming firepower, it was invincible, killing everything in its path. The hunting dogs in the lead howled a few times before dying in endless agony. As one hunting dog was decapitated, countless others surged forward, the black tide seemingly endless.
Five minutes later, the first formation ran out of ammunition and supplies.
"First formation retreats, second formation advances." Liao Yu's command was extremely concise.
The first phalanx of defenders retreated in an orderly fashion, yet with remarkable speed. The second phalanx of defenders weaved through the gaps between the first phalanx, rushing forward as quickly as possible.
"Ready, fire!" Liao Yu shouted, seizing the opportunity.
Another burst of gunfire rang out, accompanied by sparks that blinded onlookers.
Soon, the second phalanx also ran out of ammunition, and the third phalanx took the stage. The third phalanx held out for about six minutes, and the era of one-sided slaughter by firearms came to an end.
Without strong firepower, the hunting dogs, their ears drooping, tails drooping, and legs tucked in, howled a few times before reigniting their fighting spirit, their dark, fierce eyes flashing with bloodlust.
"Everyone remember this: hounds evolved from ordinary pet dogs, and they are also edible exotic beasts. Don't worry, I've already tested it."
Ji Xiaoxiao was right. Influenced by the original owner of this body, although she was lazy, she would never skimp on food and drink. Tired of delicacies and home-cooked meals, how could she let go of the unique beasts of the era of cataclysmic changes?
To hone her skills, Ji Xiaoxiao would occasionally go out for a stroll and kill a few strange beasts to solidify her martial arts cultivation. Watching lumps of moving meat flying around, day after day, imperceptibly, Ji Xiaoxiao became interested and decided to emulate Shennong's great act of tasting hundreds of herbs.
The experiment was a great success, and Ji Xiaoxiao knew whether most of the alien beasts were edible. They were lucky; the hunting dogs happened to be edible alien beasts, and they tasted quite good, especially gnawing on bones, which was a great way to pass the time.
Upon hearing Ji Xiaoxiao's encouragement, the city guards, whose faces had turned ashen, were now beaming with joy.
Meat, meat delivered right to my door!
Swallowing hard, the city guards gripped their swords and knives, their smiles a mixture of righteousness and wickedness.
"Whoever kills the hunting dog gets to keep it; the base will not take a single penny."
Liao Yu timely gave the city defenders a shot of adrenaline.
"Really? Base Commander?"
“That’s right. As long as you hunt the dogs yourself, I assure you on behalf of the base that the base will never charge you a single penny for entry or protection.”
"Wow, that's awesome."
Gazing at the valiant, well-built hunting dogs ahead, the city guards were filled with envy and impatience. "Come, come, come into your brother's arms, your brother will treat you well with his mouth!"
Breathing was no longer silent; the intense heat felt like a blazing, sunny day.
A dynasty has an emperor ruling the world. A family has a head of household to shoulder the burden. A tribe always has a leader. The leader is the tribe's faith, its pillar, the very reason why the hounds advance without thinking. Once the hound leader is dealt with, the hounds' fearsomeness plummets, and their chances of turning the tide increase dramatically.
