Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 494 - 4: Women Standing Equal to Men (Part 4)
Li Shuning extended her soft, white hands and caught the bullet, looking at Liu Xiao with a hint of a smile.
Liu Xiao felt his hands begin to tremble. What kind of skill was this, to catch a bullet with bare hands? And the bullet was stopped in mid-air. Was this some kind of ghostly encounter? He was terrified; what more could he fight against?
Liu Xiao shakily threw away his gun, not daring to resist any further.
With both the leader and vice leader dealt with, naturally the Black Tiger Gang became Li Shuning’s. She directly absorbed the Black Tiger Gang.
Of course, the Black Tiger Gang was just a start. Afterward, one by one, the gangs in Hua City were all absorbed.
Not convinced?
No such thing.
When Li Shuning took down those gangs, she showed enough of her skills that none dared to resist.
Of course, if there were any real troublemakers, Li Shuning wouldn’t leave future threats; she dealt with them directly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Anyway, these people weren’t any good.
Li Shuning didn’t know much about military training, but there were some books in her Qiankun Ring that could be useful, plus the original host had some knowledge too.
Afterward, those ragtag troops gathered from the small thugs began a training regimen that filled them with nightmares.
Hua City managed to avoid the presence of warlords largely thanks to their gangs.
Although normally every gang was fighting for turf noisily, at critical moments, they could unite against outsiders.
And those gangs had quite a few weapons on hand.
The crucial point being, Hua City was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with dangerous terrain that was not easily traversed.
If you wanted to enter Hua City, there was only one road, and with people defending it, there was no way to get through.
Moreover, coming and going from Hua City was always checked, and if anything seemed amiss, the city gates would be shut tight.
Hua City had an inner and outer city.
The inner city was where people lived, self-sufficient. The outer city had only a wooden bridge and a very deep moat, with rushing waters.
If the outer city couldn’t be held, they’d retreat to the inner city, and the wooden bridge would be cut. Just trying to cross wasn’t that simple. The main issue? You were preparing to cross the river, and they were bombing you from the inner city walls.
Probably no one would have expected Li Shuning to single-handedly break into Hua City and consolidate all the gangs, right?
Now Li Shuning was wearing camouflage, taken from her Qiankun Ring.
She had many outfits made in that style, and the thugs and their leaders all wore them.
Li Shuning was leading everyone on a run around a large training ground.
Originally, those men thought of themselves as big, strong men and figured they wouldn’t be bested by a woman, would they?
But the woman made them recognize reality.
She hadn’t broken a sweat, wasn’t out of breath, and kept running at the front, while they, even the toughest enforcers, were out of breath.
Which lap was it?
Seemed like it was the twentieth lap, wasn’t it?
My god, was this woman even a woman? How could she be this powerful?
Of course, they only muttered to themselves and dared not express it to her face.
The first ten days, Li Shuning had taken them running every day.
Then she added more training exercises; the training was tough, but the meals were good.
Every day after training, Li Shuning would quietly hunt in the mountains, as meat was essential.
A month later, Li Shuning started a weighted running regimen for them.
All the training methods she read about in books, if useful, she tried out on those big guys.
Gradually, each one of them became noticeably more spirited, and their physical fitness improved.
Li Shuning also specifically selected some people for ideological indoctrination, giving everyone hope for their lives.
Li Shuning always led by example, and everyone respected her for it.
Additionally, Li Shuning was beautiful, with her hair in a ponytail, wearing camouflage, looking brave and valiant, which made them increasingly obedient.
When training was on track, Li Shuning handed things over to Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao had witnessed Li Shuning’s ability firsthand, making bullets stop and catching them by hand. He had no thought of resisting, let alone betraying her.
Known as the Smiling Tiger, Liu Xiao was both courageous and cunning, albeit somewhat sly.
Li Shuning thought it was great, letting him have primary responsibility for the training, with the help of two others.
She herself went to research weapons.
With people in place, the weapons naturally needed to be good, right?
Otherwise, even if the people were good, they’d still be crushed if the weapons were bad.
The weapons in Hua City were all made by one individual, and of his own development.
That person had studied abroad, but finding the foreign countries equally chaotic, he returned to his hometown.
His skills made all the gangs reluctant to offend him.
Capture him and force him to make weapons? Impossible, as he had a stubborn and arrogant temperament, either killed or freed.
Killing him was a shame, since all those weapons had to be bought illegally from outside, and they were extremely expensive.
If not for Hua City’s special products, they wouldn’t have had the money to buy them.
Now with weapons being sold in Hua City itself, and at cheaper prices than outside, they naturally bought from this person.
This person was called Wu Yong.
Initially, he was unwilling to help Li Shuning, but when Li Shuning pulled out a blueprint, Wu Yong immediately wanted to follow her.
What kind of weapons hadn’t Li Shuning seen? She’d even sat in interstellar era mechas; a mere Wu Yong was easily won over by her.
After training, Li Shuning had time to work with Wu Yong on developing more powerful weapons.
Hua City had the raw materials for making ammunition. Because of these raw materials, the city’s wealth grew, attracting the coveting of warlords.
Li Shuning had already stayed here for a year.
During this year, Hua City underwent earth-shaking changes.
The city defenses became stronger, all the gangs vanished, leaving only the Li Family Army.
And they wouldn’t wrong the common people, and if they did, once caught or reported, they would be kicked out of the Li Family Army and face severe punishment.
One might say in Hua City, the Li Family Army was highly esteemed, and everyone took pride in joining it.
While Li Shuning was training soldiers, she also kept abreast of external news.
Her good classmate seemed to still be in a mess, and the Young Marshal’s title didn’t seem to be as effective.
And in the North, as in the plot, that woman was pregnant.
Li Shuning secretly sent people to the North, intending to bring back the person who had once let her go.
Of course, if that person was unwilling, she wouldn’t force it, but she wouldn’t let that person die as in the plot because of a woman.
As for Chun City, Li Shuning also sent people to infiltrate.
She was more than willing to add fuel to the fire for the Young Marshal. After all, plenty of people opposed the Young Marshal, and if she was willing to provide some firepower, they’d be very pleased.
