Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1168 - 728: Discovery and Encirclement! [5,500-Word Major - ]
They were all walking in the woods, not appearing on the cement road.
In this orchard surrounded by trees, everything seemed quiet.
The insects that originally chirped in the grass seemed to feel the killing atmosphere and stopped chirping.
In the silence, only a few dark gun barrels protruded, aiming at the direction of the orchard gate.
Zzz——
In Third Uncle’s earpiece came Ant’s message; he had already arrived at the designated location.
Everything was ready, waiting for the arrival of the main force.
By the cement roadside, Third Uncle, Ju Tianrui, and others were parallel to the orchard gate and couldn’t see what’s inside.
They could only monitor the situation through the drone’s screen.
On the drone’s screen, Third Uncle vaguely saw a dozen people standing guard behind the orchard entrance.
Some of them sat in cars, others outside, chatting idly.
Additionally, more than a hundred people could be seen gathered in the center of the orchard.
Third Uncle hesitated for a moment and felt that the current setup was adequate.
He wanted to fly lower to see more clearly, but flying lower could expose them.
So, he took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Deng Ben: "Deng Ben, we are in position and have formed an encirclement. Could you ask Li Yu how far they are and how much longer it will take?"
Besides, Third Uncle shared the enemy’s layout and terrain with Deng Ben.
After receiving Third Uncle’s message, Deng Ben immediately relayed it.
At this time, Li Yu and his team had already left Xin City and were about 20 minutes away from Gan City.
Hearing they were in the forest frustrated Li Yu.
This way, tanks and armored vehicles couldn’t unleash their full potential.
"Twenty minutes, we have twenty minutes to get there." Li Yu replied personally via walkie-talkie.
The time was now 5:20 pm.
In Sha Liu Town, within the orchard.
After seeing Kuizi fall into a coma, Gan Hu ordered others to splash water on him several times, but he didn’t wake up.
He had no choice but to bring another captured person forward.
After waking him up and seeing Kuizi lying on the ground with bloody hands, he thought Kuizi was dead.
Looking around, he saw many unfamiliar faces.
Only when he saw Wayne did he recall the day’s events.
He remembered being chased and then crashing into a tree, rendering him unconscious.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" he asked, trembling, looking at the group staring him down.
Gan Hu’s eyes were full of impatience; he glanced at the ground at Kuizi and said, "I ask, you answer, honestly. Otherwise, you’ll end up like him."
Xiao Cui trembled all over and replied to Gan Hu, "Okay, ask away, and I’ll tell you everything I know."
Gan Hu laughed; he never believed there were that many tough people.
"Very well, what’s the name of the largest force in Gan City, how many people do they have, and where are they located? And where are you from?"
Xiao Cui’s eyes flickered as he began to calculate swiftly in his mind.
He looked at the sky; by now, it was already evening.
Several hours had passed since they encountered this group and he was captured.
Plus, he saw team leader Bai Wenyang escape and remembered the Big Camphor Tree Base’s emphasis on being cautious of strangers and reporting any encounters.
He could deduce that the team leader would indeed report it, and given the Big Camphor Tree Base’s wariness of strangers, they undoubtedly had some preparations and plans.
Thus, he speculated that by now, the Big Camphor Tree Base might have already started searching for them.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze, hurry up and answer!" Gan Hu smacked the back of his head with the flat of a knife.
Xiao Cui winced in pain and replied, "I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. The largest force in Gan City is called Jiefang City, and it has several hundred people. It’s located, it’s located..."
"On the outskirts of a small town 65 kilometers north of Gan City, where cows were raised in the past. It was renovated and turned into their base. I can take you there."
The place he mentioned does indeed exist.
But now, there’s nothing inside; it’s an area close to Xin City.
He thought that if he could lead this group onto the highway, past the place where Deng Ben’s team was stationed.
Once Deng Ben’s team saw them, they would undoubtedly report immediately to the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Before his lie was exposed, the Big Camphor Tree Base would probably have almost arrived, perhaps even ahead of time, ready to ambush.
Only this way could he possibly escape with his life.
Surprised by his quick reply, Gan Hu couldn’t tell if he was lying.
He asked again, "Okay, then tell me, what kind of weapons do they have, how many guns, and do they have enough food?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Xiao Cui appropriately showed a wry smile and answered, "How should I know that? I’m not from there. I really don’t know these details, but they do have the most people."
Gan Hu frowned and asked, "Then why did you run when you saw us?"
Xiao Cui replied, "Big Bro, it’s the Doomsday; if someone chases you on the road, of course, your first reaction is to run."
Gan Hu stopped talking and looked at Yao Zuo and the others.
Yao Zuo suddenly asked, "Those limestones you were transporting, what are they for? In the Doomsday, why would you need limestone?"
Yao Zuo’s question caught Xiao Cui by surprise.
But he quickly responded, knowing that all lies are hard to believe; only a mix of truth and falsehood can confuse people.
So he replied, "Sigh! It’s all for a bite to eat. I heard Jiefang City wanted this stuff, so we scattered troops transported it to try and trade for some food."
"You mean Jiefang City has plenty of food then? Otherwise, during the Doomsday, why exchange food for limestone?" Yao Zuo asked with a mocking look towards Xiao Cui.
"To my knowledge, limestone is a raw material for producing cement. Are they still constructing buildings?" Yao Zuo concluded.
He quietly watched Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Yao Zuo with admiration, "Now that you mention it, that does make sense. Indeed, thinking about it this way, Jiefang City must have a lot of food. Otherwise, why would they trade it?"
He ended with a suitably greedy expression.
After Yao Zuo finished questioning, he turned to Gan Long and the others, saying, "I think what this man said is mostly credible. Food is so precious in the Doomsday, yet Jiefang City can send people to collect limestone, indicating a lack of hands. I think hundreds of people is about right.
Moreover, being able to wipe out Orange Continent suggests they possess firearms, likely between one and two hundred people.
Therefore, we can initially conclude a few points:
First, Jiefang City has a lot of food.
Second, Jiefang City is building structures, which presents us with an opportunity for a surprise attack."
Seeing his confident expression, Gan Long began to believe him too.
A smile started to appear on his face.
"Good!"
