Chapter 2037 Drive Tigers to Attack Wolves
Five minutes earlier, two kilometers away from the battlefield where Xiahou Wuxin and Wei Xiaotian confronted each other…
The groups of bandits from the Godly Fist Union and Liberty City were also at loggerheads around a warehouse of resources. A lot of tough bandits from other parts of the Land of Sins were nearby, too.
Order had collapsed. Those bandits had all turned into ravenous wolves that feared nothing. As long as there were enough gains, they would not hesitate to lunge forward even if their enemies were deities from the sky.
The atmosphere became graver and graver, and the remaining bandits of the Godly Fist Union would likely attack the warehouse that was defended by the bandits of Liberty City soon.
The wandering warriors nearby sensed the killing intent in the air that was getting more and more intense. They were so excited that they had goosebumps all over their bodies, like sharks that had smelt the scent of blood and bared their sharp teeth.
They were not bold enough to have a head-on clash against the Godly Fist Union or the defenders of Liberty City, but they were certainly good at taking advantage of the chaos and looting the defeated.
Right when the battle was about to erupt, a high-pitched shriek came from nowhere. “Xiahou Wuxin has been discovered! He is running to his secret treasury. It is said that he’s set up dozens of secret treasuries without telling anyone during the decades he ran Liberty City. Ten times more items are stored in them than here!”
“What!”
Like a peal of thunder, the voice illuminated the greed and ambition of all the bandits!
Xiahou Wuxin had been heavily wounded by ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie’s punches, which was a fact that many had seen with their own eyes.
With the Fist King’s brutality and magnificence, his punches had at least reduced Xiahou Wuxin’s combat ability by half. He was heavily wounded and in the most vulnerable state.
Liberty City, as an Elysian World, was best known for its wealth and prosperity.
Since Xiahou Wuxin had reigned Liberty City for decades, it was not only reasonable but only natural for him to establish dozens of secret warehouses to hide abundant treasures.
All the bandits were fighting bloodily for the open warehouses of resources on the ground, but could those warehouses whose locations everybody knew have stored anything rare and precious?
If they could capture Xiahou Wuxin and interrogate him to get a few secret warehouses, would they not be the greater winners of the war?
All the tough bandits were glowing with interest and swallowing in great excitement.
When they were analyzing the veracity of the words with the last calmness in their minds, a different voice shrieked from another corner. “Not good. Xiahou Wuxin is about to be captured. Look at the sky in the southwest. It does not look right at all!”
Alarmed, all the bandits looked at the southwest and noticed that something was indeed weird.
The whole of Liberty City was chaotic and obstreperous, like a furnace that had been poured fuel on.
But an area not far away to their southwest was awfully quiet. When they sensed it carefully, they realized that the place seemed to be covered in a hazy mist, which was apparently disguising something.
“It is now or never. If Xiahou Wuxin is truly kidnapped by someone else, we will have absolutely no share of the good items in the dozens of secret warehouses!” the high-pitched male voice from the beginning shouted again. After pausing a moment, it went on. “Brothers of the ‘Red Ghost Union’, let’s go and block Xiahou Wuxin before those sons of b*tches do!”
As a result, all the random bandits and unorganized mobsters could not hold it any longer.
They had been wandering about, waiting for the competition between the Godly Fist Union and the defenders of Liberty City, hoping to take advantage of the mayhem when the fight between the two great gangs started.
However, whether or not the mayhem could be taken advantage of was highly uncertain. Since the two gangs were patient enough to wait for such a long time instead of fighting, it was obvious that they would not leave many leftovers for the hyenas that were patrolling nearby.
Since the big fish Xiahou Wuxin was probably not far away, they might as well try their luck there.
There was no telling which random bandit lunged out first, but in half a minute, most of the mobsters had congregated into a murky but unstoppable torrent that flooded toward the area that was covered in gray mist.
The bandits of the Godly Fist Union, who were preparing to attack the warehouse of resources, lost their patience, too.
Their opponents in the warehouse were on par with themselves as elites of the gang. Besides, their opponents had rested and prepared for a long time there. It would be difficult to take the location by force.
Even if they did break into the warehouse, should the enemy detonate and destroy all the assets at the last moment, would they not lose everything and gain absolutely nothing?
Thus, they might as well try their luck with Xiahou Wuxin instead of wagering everything on this place, right?
Even if the news was fake, or if Xiahou Wuxin was eventually caught by somebody else, it still would not matter. After all, the warehouse of resources was rooted there, and it was not likely to grow feet and run away. It was highly improbable that they could ship all the assets out of the city in only half a day. They could always go back and attack the warehouse again.
Thinking that, the elite bandits of the Godly Fist Union followed the mobsters and charged at the hotspot aggressively!
Han Te and Liu Li’s intentional calls were also heard by the defenders of Liberty City who were trapped in the warehouse.
Relying on the warehouse of resources that had been completely surrounded, they were actually in a rather awkward and passive position, although they were safe for the time being.
The bandits of the Godly Fist Union were not wrong. The warehouse of assets could not grow feet and run off, and they could not ship all the resources out of there in a short time. Even if they held their position and defeated a few waves of attacks, they would eventually be drowned by the bandits that came at them incessantly.
If they waited and did nothing, they would be dead for sure.
As defenders of Liberty City and Xiahou Wuxin’s ‘loyal’ subordinates, they knew their leader’s cunningness better than anybody else.
They had heard a thing or two about the secret warehouses that Xiahou Wuxin had established.
Also, as locals, once they got the coordinates of the secret warehouses through interrogation, they would certainly have more ways to excavate the treasures in them than the outsiders could.
“Damn it. You have only one head to lose anyway. If we defend this place without making any other attempts, we will certainly die without a burial. We might as well try our luck outside!”
“Exactly. This warehouse of ours has the most abundant ammunition and the best gear. Let’s be armed to the teeth and try our luck outside. I don’t believe that we cannot capture Xiahou Wuxin before those scumbags!”
“Bullsh*t! What kind of cr*p are you talking about? The city leader has been treating us with honor and integrity, but you are all thinking of betraying him and even capturing and interrogating him when Liberty City is only caught in some minor trouble? Do you have any conscience at all? In such a time of perils, it is urgent that we rescue the city leader as soon as possible and escort him to his secret warehouse for his safety!”
“Exactly, Heixin Laosi, you are quite right. The city leader has done us so many favors. It is only reasonable that we repay loyalty with loyalty. Let’s go immediately and protect the city leader so that he can be safe in his secret warehouse!”
As a result, among the teams that were roaring and marching at Xiahou Wuxin, another group of tough bandits who were ravenous and thirsty was added.
Wei Xiaotian was watching Xiahou Wuxin being pressed down right in front of him with a smile, under the impression that everything was under his control, when the fearless and voracious bandits crowded toward him from all the alleys and streets in every direction.
“There’s Xiahou Wuxin!” A voice came out of nowhere. “The one kneeling on the ground is Xiahou Wuxin! He has confessed the location of the warehouse to those guys!”
“…” Wei Xiaotian’s smile that was as delicate as marble finally cracked.
“Hiss. It’s really Xiahou Wuxin!”
Xiahou Wuxin’s body size had expanded crazily, which ripped apart the camouflage on his face. Although his facial organs were even more hideous, they were not very twisted. So, a lot of his past subordinates and the bandits from the Godly Fist Union recognized him immediately.
Also, the Immortal Cultivators from Manjusaka, with their high-level crystal suits and the magnificent vibe around him, were truly different from the bandits from the Land of Sins. They were so eye-catching that a lot of bandits grew hostile toward them immediately.
At this moment, the gray Exos had surrounded Xiahou Wuxin, beaten him to a pulp, and tied him up with barriers. It was exactly a classic scenario of interrogation.
The bandits had been somewhat suspicious about the weird shouts at the beginning, but they naturally took them to be true right now, thinking that Wei Xiaotian and the other gray Exos from the Heavenly Eye Legion including Wei Xiaotian had learned the coordinates of the secret warehouse.
After only half a second’s bewilderment, a fierce battle immediately broke out.
“*sshole. Hand over Xiahou Wuxin!”
“You dare steal my secret treasury? Die now!”
“Protect the city leader! Protect the city leader now!”
The mobsters and the unorganized bandits came first, followed by the elites of the Godly Fist Union and those of Liberty City. They all lunged at the squad of gray Exos, roaring like crazy devils!
Wei Xiaotian looked more awful than ever. Having no other options, he could only go on a killing spree.
The Heavenly Eye Legion, as an alert troop from Manjusaka, was stronger and had the enhancement of the advanced crystal suits. Naturally, they were incomparable to the uncivilized primitives in the Land of Sins.
The ten or so gray Exos marched in and out of the crowd like hungry tigers jumping at lambs. All the tough bandits were shuddering in fear.
Wei Xiaotian opened fire nonstop. Wherever his orange barrel was aimed, only vague ripples spread out instead of obvious brilliance, but they transformed countless bandits into blood plasma abruptly as they broke apart in plopping sounds!
But there were simply too many bandits. Although the bandits in the front were scared out of their wits and tried to run, their retreat was blocked by the bandits behind, who simply pushed them forward.
Despite Wei Xiaotian’s strength, after blowing several hundred tough bandits up, he felt that his hands were getting numb, and the ‘array activator’ was overloaded and in dire need of a half-minute cooldown.
“*sshole!”
Wei Xiaotian was so infuriated that he was gnashing his teeth. Vaguely sensing that something was not right, he glanced at Xiahou Wuxin, only to discover that the ground where the man’s feet had been planted was collapsing because of an explosion.
Under the heavy pressure of the great array, Xiahou Wuxin fell underground, quickly leaving Wei Xiaotian’s eyesight!
