Chapter 389: Targeted!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Leaving the old city, Zhao Yu found the same driver as last time and rented a truck to return to Peace Town.

Upon arriving at the town, he went back to the courtyard he rented. The truck and weapons were all accounted for; Peace Town’s reputation was quite good.

Then, Zhao Yu went to the hiring hub and found that several teams had already accepted the mission he had posted earlier. In fact, one team had already returned, bringing back nearly three hundred kilograms of fireworks and firecrackers.

Zhao Yu waited for half a day until the next day, when all the teams that had accepted the mission returned. They had collected nearly a ton of fireworks and firecrackers, and Zhao Yu had only paid out three rifles and a small amount of ammunition.

It might seem like a low price, but each of his rifles could sell for three to four thousand Black Rock coins. So, in reality, this ton of fireworks and firecrackers was worth almost over ten thousand Black Rock coins.

In Zhao Yu’s view, this was nothing. After all, he had a base and could easily produce these guns.

But to others, Zhao Yu and his group seemed extremely wealthy, especially the teams that delivered to his courtyard. They were shocked to see the vehicles and mounted machine guns there.

“Are you serious? These soldiers are really that rich?!”

In a private room of the Peace Hotel, several members of different military teams were eating, drinking, and chatting.

“Of course. Their vehicles, I’ve seen them. They’re brand new, just a bit dirty, but otherwise, they’re fine…”

“And that machine gun, vehicle-mounted, looked like a major weapon…”

“Also, the rifles I sold you, they’re nothing special to them. They have twenty on them, even more in their vehicles…”

“I even saw a vehicle fully loaded with weapons and ammunition…”

The man speaking was a member of a team that had previously dealt with Zhao Yu. Now, a bit tipsy from the drinks, he began to boast.

Listening to him was the leader of the Superman team. The team’s name sounded formidable, but the captain looked sleazy, especially when he smiled.

“Captain Wang Chao, I’m telling you, these soldiers are really generous. I just mentioned a rifle, and they agreed without bargaining…”

Wang Chao’s eyes gleamed as he lifted his glass and drank several more cups before consciously starting to inquire about Zhao Yu and his group.

After three rounds of drinks, when people started to get drunk, Wang Chao began to talk with his teammates.

“Captain, should we make a move?!” His subordinates were uneasy, “They are soldiers after all, and their leader holds a commanding rank…”

“What’s there to fear?!”

Wang Chao said disdainfully, “In this day and age, can they control Peace Town?”

“Besides, as long as we’re careful, how would they know who ambushed them?”

“Not that…” A dark-skinned man hesitated, “I’m worried we might not be able to handle them. They are military, can we really defeat them?”

Wang Chao was realizing that they might not be able to overpower Zhao Yu with their forces alone.

“Then we’ll pull in another team…”

“With the wealth they’ve shown, there’s enough for us to share…”

In his opinion, just those twenty or more rifles were worth over a hundred thousand, not to mention the other machine guns and vehicles, which could be worth several hundred thousand or even a million.

This was enough to tempt them into taking a risk.

Especially in an era with no order, where might makes right, robbery and looting were common occurrences.

“We need to act fast, they seem to be preparing to leave Peace Town…”

“Alright, I’ll get someone on it now. You guys tell Hei Lu to keep a close eye on them, don’t let them get away…”

“Commander, we’re being watched!”

Zhao Yu was busy with the fireworks and firecrackers when the Sergeant commander suddenly approached him.

Zhao Yu quickly asked, “What’s happening?!”

“After we returned, I sent two recon soldiers disguised in plain clothes to observe around…”

“They noticed some people lurking suspiciously around our courtyard…”

“Three of them passed by eight times, each time pretending to casually glance at our yard…”

Zhao Yu was astonished, “They dare to make a move here?!”

“No, that’s not right!”

He quickly realized that if Peace Town had wanted to act, they would have done so before he returned.

So, those targeting them must be independent players, preparing to strike outside the city.

“Are those three together?”

“No, they don’t seem to know each other…”

Zhao Yu nodded, realizing there were three different groups targeting them.

“Do you have a plan?”

“Yes, once we’re out of the city…”

“Okay!”

After hearing the commander’s plan, Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, “Let’s do as you said…”

“We’ll leave in half an hour!”

Not wanting to stay any longer now that they were being watched, Zhao Yu quickly made preparations.

He settled the rental fee for the courtyard and then set off in six vehicles.

There were many vehicles coming in and out of Peace Town. Zhao Yu, sitting in the passenger seat, discreetly observed the surroundings.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t pinpoint which vehicles were watching them.

However, he was not in a hurry. Being too close to Peace Town, the others wouldn’t dare make a move. So, as they got further away and more branch roads appeared, they would eventually find out who their enemies were.

Soon, they passed several branch roads and took one of the more secluded

routes..
