Chapter 773: Underwater Granary
. At first, the villagers thought it could be edible, but almost lost their lives trying to eat it. Later, they discovered that this black oil was highly flammable and burned for an exceptionally long...Three days later, Lian Yi followed Yuan Chongming to a two-story building and met Dong Zichen and a man with a sinister face in the same room. After greeting each other with a nod, both parties went straight to the point.
"Three-seven split, we can't explain it to our brothers! Consider this, big brother, four-six split, we take four, you take six. If there's an opportunity, we can still cooperate again."
The suave man said calmly.
Do you have anything else in your hands
Yuan Chongming asked in a deep voice.
"Before the disaster, we were already dealing in information, holding some secrets that are unknown to most. If this cooperation goes well, we wouldn't mind working with you all in the future."
A effeminate man throws out bait.
Yuan Chongming pondered for a moment before saying:
"Sure, we'd like to see your sincerity as well. If it's a good fit, we wouldn't mind joining you."
You have the message, we have the force, a strong alliance is the only way to survive the doomsday disaster.
Okay, deal!
The effeminate man said cheerfully.
Time of action
"Assemble at the western outskirts of the city at 10 AM tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
After Yuan Chongming returned, he reported the news to Captain Song and pointed out the effeminate man in the photo.
“His name is Riku Sawaguchi. He has one-third of his bloodline from the Kodoku Clan. Before the disaster, he was a spy we were hunting. I didn't expect him to survive until now and be doing so well.”
Song Da Captain stroked his chin and said.
If his background is like that, then his proposed cooperation should be questionable.
"Well, what do you plan to do"
"If you're going to catch him, then take this opportunity to get them all."
"Are your Vanguard squad ready to go in"
"Well, but the follow-up support has to keep up. I don't want to be wrapped in dumplings by them."
"Okay, I'll have someone follow you guys. You go first."
Then the two discussed further and finally determined a plan of action. Only then did Yuan Chongming leave, gathering the squad members together and outlining the details of the mission.
Anyway, getting food is the most important thing. We can put other things aside for now.
Yuan Chongming instructed.
Everyone nodded in understanding, as this wasn't their first operation. They had a grasp of what was to come. After receiving their equipment, they each began preparing.
The next day, Yuan Chongming brought his team of nine and met up with the other party. They then left the outskirts of Qimu City and walked towards a desolate area.
"Senior brother, this place is remote. How could there be a granary here"
Ripple asked in a puzzled tone.
“Oh! We didn't intend to come this way before. It was one time when we found a box of sausages from the ice layer, and then others discovered us and chased us wanting to grab them. We were in a panic and ran blindly, further and further into desolation. In the end, they cornered us, leading to a clash on both sides where several people were killed or injured.”
Although we ultimately won, we lost three comrades in the fight. After the enemy retreated, we couldn't leave our friends to rot in the wilderness with nothing but scraps left. So, we broke through the ice and buried them.
Then accidentally knocked a hole in the roof of a granary and discovered the food there. But the granary had flooded, and some of the food was soaked.
"Ah, I see!"
After advancing for another hour, Dong Zicheng and his companions stopped behind a small hillock.
"Right here."
The effeminate man pointed to the ground, and there were indeed traces of ice drilling. It looked like it had been drilled very recently.
"You guys fall back, I'm gonna blow this thing wide open."
Sun Zhou immediately said.
"If all that ice up there were to fall in, the food would be completely buried. How could we get it out Just cleaning it up would take a lot of manpower and resources."
The effeminate man immediately stopped him.
"Rest assured, my companions are very professional and would never do what you said. Please trust our abilities."
Yuan Chongming's eyes flashed, and he immediately said.
“Well then, let's give each other some space. Whether or not you can get the food out depends on you.”
The effeminate man smiled and said.
"Sounds good."
This time, it's Sun Zhou speaking.
Everyone retreated, and Sun Zhou quickly placed the timed explosives. Then, clutching the remote control, he retreated to the back of the small mound.
"Be discreet! I've detonated it!"
With a deafening boom, the ice cave was blown open. The one-meter wide hole expanded to three and a half meters, easily accommodating two or three people going down at once.
After waiting for a while longer, everyone slowly slipped past. They all stood at the mouth of the cave, looking down.
"I see there's food, but about half of it is frozen."
Tang Tianming said.
"How are we doing Didn't we fool you all"
The effeminate man stepped forward and said with a smile.
Of course, since this is a cooperation, we certainly believe in your sincerity.
Yuan Chongming said lightly.
"Let's go take a look and check the amount of supplies we have. After that, you guys can handle the transportation. We'll take our 40% share and leave immediately."
The effeminate man, as if afraid they would change their minds, immediately said.
"Sure."
Since everyone has seen the rabbit, they will naturally chirp.
The crowd found the anchor point, dropped their ropes, and slowly slid down, starting to explore below.
Lin Ri used being afraid of heights as an excuse to not go down and stayed on top, while Dong Ziqing and Sun Peng exchanged glances, and Dong Ziqing also chose to stay.
"Little sister, I'll stay with you. Don't worry, Brother Lu is a man of his word. Besides, we need to cooperate for the long term."
Dong Ziqing slowly walked to Lianyi's side and said with a smile.
"Well, I know!"
As soon as the voice of Ripples fell, Dong Ziqing suddenly moved, pushing towards Ripples with both hands.
Liàn Yī had already been wary of him the moment he brushed past her. When she caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of her eye, she subtly shifted her body, causing him to miss his mark and fall headfirst into the ice cave instead.
With a flick of her wrist, the deadly silk shot out, directly wrapping around the opponent's neck.
Dong Ziqing's face instantly turned pale. He struggled constantly, using his hands to pry at the silk thread around his neck, but it was completely useless.
Ripple's eyes narrowed, and then she saw people crawling out of the ice around her, surrounding her. They were clearly an ambush.
"You're trying to set a trap for us! Dong Ziqing, you're quite capable!"
Ripple chuckled coldly, with a flick of her wrist, Dong Ziqing was severed at the waist, falling into the ice cave.
The ripples pulled the whirlwind out of its embrace, and commanded in a cold voice:
"Wind, get to work! We need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
He then drew a flare gun from his waist and fired it straight into the air. With a flash, he charged into the crowd of attackers.
Her deadly silk heart moved at will, already harvesting several lives. At the moment these people fell, a gunshot shattered the air, and Lian Ri's body flew forward, knocking over several ambushers.
"Hmph! Looks like you're well-prepared, even having snipers!"
Ripples' eyes were cold. The other party's target was her head, and she instinctively shifted her head to the side to avoid being hit, but the shot grazed her shoulder instead.ard two steps first to check on her own husband, and then looked at Lian Yi standing beside the hovercar."Lian Yi, come here!"The ripple politely stepped forward and greeted:"Hello, grandma!"Wasn't an...
