I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 929 - 1018: Dare to Bomb Us? Let’s Give Them a Grand Return Gift!
Mama Has couldn’t be bothered with the fact that he was only wearing boxers at that moment. He stepped forward and asked, "Honorable Mr. Zhou, what return gift are you talking about? What’s really going on now? And where is the official armed team I brought for Masi?"
Mama Has was anxious. The teams he brought were highly valued by their superiors, always well-fed and well-treated. If they were lost or killed, it would cost a fortune.
Old Zhou raised his head and pointed to a place not far away, "They’re all over there. Maybe a few unlucky ones didn’t make it out, but there’s nothing we can do about that."
Mama Has breathed a sigh of relief, but when he went over to count his men, he was nearly furious.
Not only were more than a dozen people missing, but those who did escape were mostly thanks to the Huaxia people rescuing them in the chaos.
They were lying spread-eagle on the ground, moaning.
Even the ones who were better off only managed to grab their weapons, and many, like him, were left without clothes or gear.
Mama Has asked, "What about the satellite transmitters and other important equipment? They were given to us by our superiors for emergencies!"
A few big men looked apologetic, "We were sleeping too soundly, only managed to carry small things, and spent a minute getting dressed. The other items were too large, we couldn’t bring them out."
Looking at his situation, then at the Huaxia side,
If there hadn’t been a comparison, Mama Has would have thought escaping such a terrifying explosion was already good enough. But now, the Huaxia people would rather run naked and still manage to plunder the hotel, fiercely protecting their belongings. Even Mr. Zhou, a billionaire, was carrying two large bags with him.
"You bunch of useless fools! Now we’ve lost everything, and even if we die in Hansi, there’s nothing we can do!" Mama Has roared.
Old Zhou took stock of his people; a few were missing, but they had gone back to retrieve some items, delaying them a bit, so it wasn’t a big issue.
Then Mama Has asked Old Zhou, "Why did Jie blow up such a nice hotel? There were so many people inside!"
Old Zhou pondered, "It might be for the goods on the hundred-plus ships at the dock. If we all died by accident, those goods on the dock would become unclaimed, allowing them to take over openly."
Mama Has was even more puzzled, "But the goods on over a hundred ships are also what you spent money on. They could go into their pockets too. Blowing up such a good hotel seems uneconomical."
Old Zhou mused. Indeed, a hotel like that, the cost to build it was astronomical, and it was functional with a working power system. Why blow it up?
Mama Has’s voice was trembling, "If it was really Jie who gave the order, if we go to him now, won’t he just order us all to be killed? We should escape, back to Masi; this place is too dangerous."
He then added, "Jie and I have been great brothers for so many years, but I never thought he would turn out this way. Masi and Hansi have always been on friendly terms, but now—something must have happened."
Just then, Old Zhou’s phone rang. He answered, and the voice of Code Seven came through:
"Hansi’s port is completely locked down. The authorities say they will take over all cargo ships at the dock, over two thousand in all, including more than thirty ships that the corpse chaser left with Winter. Looks like—we just stumbled into the whirlpool.
Other merchants are resisting now, and fighting has already broken out at the dock."
Old Zhou pondered for a moment and then asked, "I’ll have someone investigate what’s really going on. You all protect yourselves for now, and don’t join the fray. If the authorities act shamelessly, we’ll figure something out later."
While asking someone to find out more, Old Zhou asked Mama Has, "Yesterday, we saw many white-skinned foreigners in the hotel. Is there something major happening in Hansi lately?"
Although they had made preparations when they came, they couldn’t know everything, and some surprises were inevitable.
Mama Has shook his head and said, "Hansi is already a place where merchants from all over gather. It’s more like a trade market, but there is indeed an annual trade fair happening these days. I was also thinking of showing you around to see if there’s anything worth trading."
Bang!!
Bang!
More explosions were heard in the distance, along with various shouts.
Jing Shu’s mouth curled into a cold smile, "We might have just walked into a pig slaughtering plot. The authorities in Hansi might want to take out this batch of merchants in one swoop, fatten themselves up, recover, seal off the news, and then wait for the next batch." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Old Zhou nodded, "Very possible."
"What do we do now? If the biggest robbers are the authorities here, then we’re in trouble—"
"Off to a bad start!"
Rumble—
Squad after squad of armed vehicles drove through the streets, carrying pitch-black guns.
Before long, Jing Shu’s group attracted their attention.
"Old Zhou, should we now—" resist or flee?
Yang Yang glanced at Jing Shu and asked, "Is the tunnel ready?"
Jing Shu nodded, "It’s ready. It leads directly to the pier, and also, there are a few paths leading to where Jie stayed yesterday." With that, she flashed a mischievous grin.
Everyone understood instantly.
Without hesitation, Old Zhou said, "Then you escort Mama Has to the dock. We’ll go return a big gift to Jie."
Mama Has watched these Huaxia people speak halfway, but without fully explaining what they meant. He couldn’t help but doubt if there was a part of Chinese he didn’t understand.
However, there was no need for him to understand fully, as soon he was wrapped in a blanket and thrown into a dark, soft place.
At that moment, he realized that these Huaxia people were far from simple as they appeared.
Thus, in the tunnel, they split into two groups.
One group headed to the dock to meet up with the main fleet.
The other group went to where Jie stayed yesterday.
In the pitch-black tunnel, even Old Zhou couldn’t help but admire Jing Shu, "This is where you secretly transported all the supplies for the Military Base, isn’t it? We just arrived in Hansi yesterday, and today you’ve already got the tunnel ready."
Jing Shu smiled faintly. The tunnel-digging bug wasn’t originally that fast, but didn’t she just add some extra incentives?
Where Jie lived wasn’t far; it was a Middle Eastern style underground fortress.
It’s just a large pit, reinforced with stone walls. Such fortresses effectively prevent artillery attacks and level ten bombardments.
One could say, as long as it’s not a missile or nuclear bomb, such bunker-like fortresses are extremely reliable.
