#796 - Chapter 796 Obtaining Ranged Weapons
"Whoosh--"
On a national highway in Shintai City, a car sped past.
Behind it, three slightly modified cars were in pursuit!
Yao Lei's right foot was welded to the accelerator, but unfortunately, she still couldn't shake off the cars behind her.
Whether it was due to the limitations of her car's performance or the superiority of the pursuing vehicles, they had covered a considerable distance without seeing any hope of escaping.
It seemed they had to find a way to deal with the pursuers.
"Let's head over there! There seems to be a large stone factory. Let's try to use the terrain inside!"
Li Bowen had been paying attention to the surroundings. When he saw the building sign ahead and the situation inside, he immediately said to Yao Lei.
The latter, of course, had no problem with that.
The car continued to rumble towards the stone factory that Team Leader Li had pointed out, and soon they reached the entrance and rushed inside.
Screech--
An ear-piercing sound of brakes rang out. The two grabbed their backpacks from the car, abandoned the vehicle, and dashed inside.
Having frequently undergone training and tactical simulations at the base, the two knew how to handle this situation: first, use the advantageous terrain to escape the enemy's sight, and then look for an opportunity.
In less than ten seconds, just as the two dodged and hid behind the stone factory, three cars arrived.
Screech--
As soon as the cars came to a stop, more than a dozen people quickly jumped out!
These people were armed with various weapons, including machetes, iron rods, and, most formidably, a few people carrying crossbows and a pistol!
"Everyone, search separately! We must find them and bring them back!"
A menacing man with a gun ordered his subordinates as soon as he got out of the car.
He was a small team leader of the Fire Knife Gang, who had rushed over to capture some fat sheep after receiving a report from his scouts.
In their eyes, survivors who owned cars and dared to travel around on the roads at this time were definitely fat sheep!
Ordinary survivors with little strength couldn't get enough fuel to drive around luxuriously. Only those who could still afford cars had the opportunity to find more and better supplies.
"Elder Gu, you must give me a reward when we get back! I was the one who discovered these fat sheep!"
"Can you let me play with that woman after you guys are done with her? Please, Elder Gu~~~"
A voice still carrying a childish tone appeared!
It was An Shun!
The boy whom Yao Lei and Li Bowen had seen by the roadside was surprisingly among the pursuing group!
As if seeking credit, he rubbed his hands and looked at the man with the gun with a hopeful expression.
His request for such depraved things was completely inconsistent with his previously feigned pitifulness and helplessness!
Or rather, this was his true face.
At a young age, he was already full of lewd thoughts.
"Hahaha, you little brat! You haven't even grown your thing yet, and you're already thinking about that!? You're really something. We'll see what we can do later. If that woman is still alive, I'll try my best to get you a spot from the leader! After all, you were the one who discovered these fat sheep."
The team leader with the pistol grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and said with a chuckle.
It was as if the prey they were chasing was already within their grasp and had no way to escape.
In their eyes, that was the case.
Shintai City was just an ordinary small city, and no large forces had ever emerged.
In the eyes of the Fire Knife Gang, their group of several hundred people was already a very powerful force.
This was the end of the world. There was no longer the former government, nor anyone to uphold justice.
Therefore, those with the biggest fists could do whatever they wanted.
The two men and women who abandoned their car would definitely not be able to escape!
Two men holding machetes carefully traversed the stone forest.
They were chasing the two fleeing men and women.
"Little darlings, don't run, come into Grandpa's bowl~~~ Hehehe~~~"
One of the men, with a rugged face, muttered nonsensical words, his eyes constantly searching among the surrounding stones.
This was not the first time they had done such a thing as chasing prey.
It could even be said that it was a frequent occurrence.
In their eyes, this was a very ordinary fat sheep hunting operation.
If the man dared to resist later, he would be chopped into mincemeat by their random knives.
As for the woman, they heard she was a great beauty, and she would be captured and taken back to the Fire Knife Gang headquarters to be enjoyed by the leader and cadres.
After those big shots were done playing with her, she would be sent down to the subordinates who had performed well.
Finally, she could even be taken to those cannibal organizations to exchange for food and other supplies.
Women were simply an alternative hard currency in the apocalypse!
The two men didn't feel any danger. At this time, a dozen people were chasing two, and the other party must be afraid and fleeing in desperation.
Just as they passed through a large stone slab and prepared to continue chasing, one of the men suddenly saw a black shadow flash in the corner of his eye!
"Uh... !"
Crack!!
Before he could fully react, his entire head was strangled by a pair of strong arms and then turned 180°!
He was dead!
No normal person could survive with their head turned like that!
Only then did the other man realize that there was a prey hiding here!!
"You-- Ugh--!!"
He had just wanted to shout to attract the attention of the other companions around when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness and powerlessness!
Yao Lei, who was hiding on the other side, took advantage of his momentary stunnedness and stabbed his dagger through the back of his neck!
He died on the spot!
After dealing with the two enemies, Yao Lei and Li Bowen quickly changed positions with unchanged expressions as if nothing had happened.
Another part of the stone factory.
"Old Li, did you hear any strange noises just now?"
A young man with pimples all over his face, holding a crossbow, asked his companion.
He seemed to have heard a strange noise just now, as if someone had shouted something?
Unsure, he had to ask.
The older man next to him, holding a machete, glanced at him and replied in a way that wouldn't offend him:
"No, I didn't hear anything. Are you mistaken?"
He really didn't hear anything. The two were chasing prey, how could they hear any strange noises.
This young man was the younger brother of that Team Leader Gu, so he was given the qualification to use a crossbow.
He had a background and connections in the Fire Knife Gang's Hunting Team 3, and others didn't dare to offend him casually.
The young man turned his head suspiciously and glanced at the place where he thought he had heard the sound, thinking he was really mistaken.
But at this moment!
A black shadow shot over at an extremely fast speed!!
Thud!
A dull sound that made one's teeth ache rang out. The young man's eye socket was hit, and a huge bloody hole appeared instantly!!
And the whole person fell backward in response!!
"What's wrong???"
The other companion next to him had not yet reacted when he saw the younger brother of this team leader fall towards him, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to support him.
Just as he caught his companion and was about to check what had happened, a slender figure flashed past on the side!
"Whoosh--"
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out, and the man who had just supported his companion also clutched his neck in disbelief and fell down!
"Fourth one!"
Yao Lei wiped the bloody dagger on his body and picked up the crossbow in the young man's hand with a bright look in her eyes!
Finally, they had a ranged weapon to use again!
