Chapter 53 “Hyena” (recommendation ticket)

The man carrying the watermelon knife “hey”:

“Don’t mention it, all I was forced to come by the old bat. I kept telling him that he would not listen if he waited one day and the other day!”

Jiang Baiman subconsciously wanted to ask who the old bat was, but after opening his mouth, he was sensible The ground closed.

Actually, Shang Jianyao also intends to ask this, but his logical reasoning ability tells him that this will definitely damage the “brother relationship” between the two parties and make the other party feel confused. Since it is a brother, how can it be possible? Don’t know who the old bat is?

He laughed:

“Old bat…Why is he so anxious?”

“What can he do? Isn’t there someone over there? Urge!” The man holding the watermelon knife, don’t black pistol rubbed his greasy hair, and said with a frown, “The guys will kill if they say nothing, who dares to perfunctory…”

“That group of guys?” Shang Jianyao deliberately showed a puzzled expression, “How long has it been since I went back, something went wrong?”

Although he wanted to ask those guys directly, But still restrained his temper.

The man who lifted the watermelon knife was taken aback. It seemed that the brother opposite didn’t expect hadn’t been back for a while.

A few seconds later, he sighed again:

“Don’t mention it, since the’hyenas’ came, we haven’t even slept in the den! Several old people froze to death at night Now.”

When he said “Hyena”, he instinctively looked around, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone.

“Hyena”…Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Jiang Baiman to see if the experienced team leader had heard the nickname.

Jiang Baiman’s expression is a bit condensed, looking thoughtful and nodded.

“Fuck the’hyena’!” Shang Jianyao deliberately exploded.

The man carrying the watermelon knife seemed to want to curse a few words, but in the end he didn’t dare to say:

“He has no mother.”

Here, the man who does not see the specific age said in memory:

“I was only a teenager at that time, and the’hyena’ had not yet become a robber.

“I heard , His mother was eaten by a bunch of sub-humans who came here from nowhere. “

Shang Jianyao’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he blurted out:

“Did the rat man do it?” “

He knew from Jiang Baiman that the residents of Black Rat Town are called “rat people” among the people around them.

This is also a term full of discrimination.

“No. “The man carrying the watermelon knife shook the head, “The group of rat people have been here for several decades. Before I was born, they came here, and they are good at collecting and digging. They can find everything and eat everything, not the kind that runs around. “

Shang Jianyao was silent for a few seconds and said:

“‘Hyena’, what are they doing here?” “

“Say yes, say something was found at Yuelu Station.” The old bat asked, the people of the “hyena” are not clear, and they are sending people to investigate. “After the man with the watermelon knife said the word “investigation”, he suddenly remembered his task, and suddenly became frown again. “I don’t know what’s wrong here. If there is no return of the result today, the’hyena’ person Maybe you will throw me to feed the dog. “

“Dog? “Shang Jianyao asked subconsciously.

The man carrying the watermelon knife spit out:

“‘Hyena’ has a very fierce dog, just like his son!”

“He always said that we are useless, no one won his dog one-on-one, it is better to feed the dog.”

After complaining, the man expected Asked:

“Brother, what do you find here?”

“Nothing.” Shang Jianyao answered truthfully, “The people who set off the fireworks left early. Nothing left!”

“So… what fireworks did they set? Uh… what signal flare did the old bat say?” The man carrying the watermelon knife seemed to want to return.

Shang Jianyao glanced at the direction that the man with the baseball bat was running away:

“Who knows?

“Just go back like this,’hyena ‘If you don’t believe it, let him send someone to investigate.

“By the way, I scared the brother just now. You will catch up with him and help me explain.”

“Okay.” The man with the watermelon knife took a picture. Chest, “When are you going back?”

“It’s coming soon.” The corner of Shang Jianyao’s mouth curled up a little bit, “Remember to tell the old bat, that we will visit the’hyena’ when we turn around.”

“Visit…” The man carrying the watermelon knife suddenly noticed something wrong, but he looked at the grenade gun that Shang Jianyao was carrying and the assault rifle that Jiang Baiman was carrying, and then wisely gave up thinking.

He quickly turned around and waved his hand:

“May see you again.”

“May see you again.” Shang Jianyao waved his hand in response enthusiastically.

After seeing the man carrying the watermelon knife disappear at the end of the road, Jiang Baiman glanced at Shang Jianyao:

“Why? I want to stay in the middle of the road, for fear that others will not see it? “

There is no perfect and well-formed road between the hills and hills, but there are more people walking, and naturally a avenue is formed.

While speaking, Jiang Baiman turned to a relatively hidden place on the side of the hill.

Shang Jianyao followed, exchanged weapons with the team leader, and then asked:

“Who is the’hyena’?”

Jiang Baiman” He said:

“There is a well-known Bandit Leader in the Black Marsh Wilderness, and his main activity is on the side of the’White Knights Group’.

“He has been around for more than ten years. The former name was not too old at that time, and now there is a question mark whether he has reached thirty.

“His bandit gang has grown a little bit, starting with three or four people, four or five guns, and now there are seventeen-eighteen core members, with plenty of firepower and not weak equipment. Some people suspect,’ Hyena’s mastered the arsenal of an old world, so it could develop so fast.

“If it weren’t for him to not occupy better mines and fields, he is definitely not only the seventeen-eighteen core subordinates. At least it can expand to two or three hundred people. This can establish his own large settlement, similar to the kind of Weed City, and then consider which big power will be drawn to, and have a guarantee from then on, or make a small force with influence.

“Hehe, it may also be that the’hyena’ thinks it is too hard to raise hundreds of thousands of people, and it is too troublesome to manage the city. Usually, you have to be angry with the big power. It is far less comfortable than being a robber. Maintain the current scale.

“Ah, by the way, his real name is stand in great numbers. “

Shang Jianyao listened carefully and summed up:

“The suspicion is very large, and there are more people than we expected. “

There are nearly 20 core members alone, and at least hundreds of vassals are entrapped.

“They even have armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and bazookas. “Jiang Baiman added, “However, they should not have external military skeleton devices, bionic smart armors, Gauss weapons, plasma weapons, etc. It seems that even if the rumors are true, the arsenal controlled by the hyena is also universal. Sex, there is no sophisticated thing. “

See Shang Jianyao in silence, Jiang Baiman smiled and said:

“With the current strength of our’old tune group’, in the case of a sneak attack, it is indeed not small Hope to destroy this bandit group. Those vassals won’t really work for the Hyena, as long as they don’t give the Hyena the opportunity to supervise the team.

“However, with the quality of their members and weapons and equipment, we must be prepared to die at least half of the people.”

As he said, Jiang Baiman looked sideways at the hidden place Outside:

“Besides, there may not be a chance for a sneak attack.

“You just let the wilderness wanderer go back. Don’t worry about him changing the environment. Is it abnormal?

“Don’t worry about him reporting up, let’Hyena’ guess that we have awakened here?”

“Or else? Kill him?” Shang Jianyao’s expression remained unchanged Responded.

“It’s really soft-hearted.” Jiang Baiman sneered, “Me too. People who were born in such a big power and have not experienced all kinds of disputes in the chaotic age are always easy to soft-hearted.”

She turned and said again:

“But if you really want to sneak attack, you can control the wilderness wanderer first, and let him go after the matter is over.

“At this point, you shouldn’t fail to think that you have been very vigilant about when your abilities will fail. “

At this point, Jiang Baiman laughed:

“To sum up, you have given up the idea of ​​attacking the bandit gang on your own.”

“What a good friend!”

“It is not yet certain that it is the’hyena’ group.” Shang Jianyao responded expressionlessly, “Wait for the company to send someone.”

“Good idea!” Jiang Baiman smiled and praised.

Shang Jianyao looked around, suddenly frowned, and asked:

“Team leader, you said, what will happen to the’hyena ‘ group after hearing the return? Reaction?”

“I have never dealt with them, so it is difficult to make judgments. However, as you can see from the nickname’Hyena’, those people are good at deceiving less, Good at trailing and trailing, good at sneak attack behind the scenes. Although fierce and cruel, it is absolutely not crazy or reckless. Ah, I just say it, I can’t be sure. I have to ask Bai Chen for verification when I look back.” Jiang Baiman thought about replied, “Isn’t it anyway There are two kinds of things:

“One is to search this area backwards before the company’s large forces come, kill us investigators, and erase the corresponding traces, but this must take into account the emergency signal flares themselves. Just a trap, waiting for the possibility of their walking right into a trap.

“Two, immediately leave behind the vassals trapped here, and transfer with the core members. They are not too many, and they have enough transportation, and they also got a lot from Black Rat Town. Materials, the action is definitely not as procrastinated and slow as the large army, and there are too many areas where you can hide in the major wilderness.

“When I figure out who the enemy is, I will move on. Migrate around the big forces and change the area of ​​looting. “

See Shang Jianyao eyes shined, Jiang Baiman deliberately said “hmph”:

“Are you thinking, if they dare to search backwards, you dare to wear outer skeletons Device, defeat them separately? “

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao’s response, this tall woman with a ponytail smiled:

“How could I give you such a chance?”

“Obviously I am here!”

She immediately changed her words:

“But I think that the’hyena’ group did not react at all. The possibility is greater.”

“Why?” Shang Jianyao was quite puzzled.

Jiang Baiman suppressed most of his smile:

“The forcibly entrapped vassal and the’hyena’ may not be of one mind.

“They are eager to have The big forces came to fight the’hyena’ away. The worst thing is to be caught as a slave anyway. It is better than being the cannon fodder of the’hyena’. Moreover, fierce fighting has really taken place, and they have enough opportunities to escape.

“If that old bat is smart, he knows what to report and what to hide.”

Shang Jianyao was looking thoughtful and slowly nodded.

The two stopped discussing and continued to observe the surroundings, but no more suspicious people were found.

When it was almost time to eat, they ended their operation and returned to the hidden camp on the hill.

There was no word for a day, and in the middle of the night, Shang Jianyao, who was sleeping in the tent, was awakened by Long Yuehong, armed with a “Berserker” assault rifle, and took over the night duty.

After patrolling, he cast his eyes down.

Here you can directly see the small forest and the blocked entrance of Black Rat Town.

rays of light Under the dim, extremely quiet night, a stone in the cave suddenly fell.
