Cave Refuge-Chapter 289 - 281

Several days had passed, and one after another, survivors from the City Center had made their way here on foot. Upon seeing a gathering area for survivors and the farmlands on the other side of the road, they decided not to go any further, choosing instead to stay here.

Robinson William, who was in charge of security for this area, instantly understood why Dong Tianyu had initially wanted to leave this place when he saw the increasing number of survivors joining the camp.

To be honest, if the only survivors here had been those who initially came with the convoy, this place would undoubtedly have been a decent camping spot.

But just like Dong Tianyu had said, it was simply too close to the City Center. For many survivors, it was only a day or two’s walk, which was completely doable.

Now, with the City Center abandoned due to the earthquake, if Dong Tianyu could see the various advantages of this place as a campsite, so could others.

However, as the number of survivors staying here gradually increased, those original advantages were bound to diminish.

Those survivors who had driven past this place probably understood this too, which is why they didn’t stop here but continued driving westward instead.

Thinking about this, Robinson William felt very fortunate that he had followed Dong Tianyu’s advice and arranged for Ye Liuyun to scout Saxon County in advance.

Ye Liuyun, who was supposed to return after only a day or two, had, for some reason, stayed there a few extra days before coming back.

When Robinson William found out that Ye Liuyun had returned, he immediately arranged for others to take over his patrol duties. Upon learning that Ye Liuyun hadn’t gone to the tent in the lawn to find Master Ye but was meeting with Dong Tianyu inside the Black Car, Robinson William quickly headed towards the Black Car as well.

After entering the Black Car, he found that it wasn’t only Ye Liuyun and Dong Tianyu inside the vehicle. Younger members from other families in the elder group were there too, including the new young representative from Family Li, who emerged after Marton Jefferson’s death, also sitting inside.

Upon observing the situation inside the vehicle, Robinson William didn’t say much. He closed the door after entering, leaned against the wall, and began, "Carry on, I’ll just listen."

Although Robinson William said this, all those present still courteously greeted him one by one before they continued with the topic they had been discussing.

"I’ve already talked about my recent experience going there, and I found a place suitable for us to stay for a long time. However, the situation there is somewhat tough, so if we really plan to move there, we need to ensure we have sufficient armed force," Ye Liuyun said.

Hearing this, everyone present instinctively turned their gaze to Robinson William since he was the captain of the special forces team, and with the deputy captain now dead, he firmly held control of the entire unit.

"Don’t look at me just yet. I’ve just arrived, and I’m not clear about the things you discussed earlier. Without clarity, I can’t give you an accurate response," Robinson William replied.

After hearing his response, Ye Liuyun began, "Brother, I’ll tell you about the details of these past few days when I get back home. For now, I’ll briefly bring you up to speed on what we were just discussing.

First of all, Saxon County is not as safe as we originally thought. Although it doesn’t have the Bug Nests like Pengcheng, a kind of toxic insect resembling scorpions has appeared there.

These toxic insects are very large, bigger even than a golden retriever, and they are very aggressive. Not only do they attack ordinary people, but they will also attack Martial Artists on sight.

Moreover, the shells of these Giant Scorpions are thick. To kill them, it’s best to use a cold weapon to puncture their shells and crush their nerves within.

If you try to shoot them, ordinary pistols simply can’t penetrate the shells of the Giant Scorpions. Even with automatic rifles, you need to hit the same spot multiple times to break through their hard shells.

Using an automatic rifle to attack is too wasteful of bullets unless you’re using a sniper rifle. To efficiently take down those Giant Scorpions, the best method is to have a few well-coordinated Inner Breath Realm Martial Artists use cold weapons to opportunistically insert the blade into the gaps of the shell, then crush the nerves inside.

That way, killing those Giant Scorpions will only consume some physical strength," Ye Liuyun concluded.
