Chapter 632: The Attack of the People Hidden in the Mountains! Part 3

“Both of us were scavengers under the command of the fourth territory leader of the Origin Territory, Zhang Lu. We weren’t supposed to know such top secrets if it weren’t for that day…

“It was a typical early morning when the two of us found Zhang Lu with his confidants gathered, preparing their equipment.

“Other people would quickly think that Zhang Lu was taking these men out to hunt or reach a location that had valuable resources before others did. However, it was clear to us that there was something unusual about him that night. The people under his command also were very suspicious. Although they probably tried to hide their emotions, we could see the excitement radiating from them. They also brought all the guns and ammunition acquired over time. It was evident that they were heading into a tough battle.

“My brother and I naturally would not sit back and miss such an opportunity. After Zhang Lu set out, we immediately followed behind them quietly behind the team.

“What caught us by surprise was that after arriving at a certain point, we saw other… all the other territory lords!”

Recalling the grand scenario, Liu Zhi seemed a little lost and unsure how to continue to tell the remainder of the story. The surprised emotions they felt back then were evident in his reaction just by mentioning it.

He could only continue to straightforwardly explain without any disguise.

“Eventually, more people gathered, and an increasing number of scavengers followed. It would only be logical for us to be found and chased away long ago, but it was abnormal that they did not drive us away. Instead, they casually allowed us to follow at the rear of the team.

“It was at this moment that the two of us sensed something wasn’t right, and we didn’t dare to continue following them. We left and found a path that went up to higher ground to observe the purpose of these suspicious activities!

“In the end, we did find out their destination!

“It was a place so large that the mountain could not contain it, and the massive ruin spanned dozens of miles!

Liu Jie spread open his arms and gestured. It was apparent from the expression on his face the amount of shock they went through when they first witnessed it.

“We’ve never entered nor explored such ruins before. Based on our conjecture, even the armed forces with live ammunition had slim chances of returning alive. Naturally, we did not dare think of intervening with the mission.

“However, we also did not want to miss the chance, so we waited for a while to observe the situation before making any subsequent decisions.

“We waited and waited. Never would we have expected our patience to lead us to enough treasure for everyone!”

At the mention of it, Liu Jie, seemingly afraid to leave out any details, hurriedly ran toward Liu Zhi’s side and discussed it for a while before returning in front of the map.

From that moment onward, Su Mo, who had leaned back throughout the whole story, slowly began to sit up and wore a solemn expression as Liu Zhi started to go into further details.

“This was a group of human beings we’ve never encountered before. They had appearances that were similar to us, and the only difference was they had a small gear pattern on their forehead.

“The gear pattern emitted a faint fluorescence glow at night, which was enough for us to distinguish them from our people even on the chaotic battlefield.

“Their weapons were very advanced. There was a riffle that emitted red light, and when it came in contact with the human body, it would penetrate and burn everything into ashes up until the skin of the internal organs!

“They also had powerful vehicles. Not only did they possess bullet-proof infantry vehicles, they even had small tanks that emitted red lights. Among the chaos, they were like man-eating monsters that ran over anything in their path.

“Their only disadvantage was that they were not many of them. According to my observation, only about 50 to 60 people charged out from the ruins and had fragile bodies like us. They also dropped and died after being hit by bullets.

“However, we still lost even with such a huge advantage in numbers. You could say our side didn’t even put up a fight against them!”

16 territories combined, excluding the ordinary scavengers that followed without weapons behind, assuming there were at least 150 fighters from each territory,

They had at least 2,400 people. That was 40 times the number of the opponents.

In an era of cold weapons, even if the opponent had natural dangers to be careful of, it would still be tough to defend against dozens of times the number of troops waiting for them outside.

However, in the era of science and technology, it was effortless and could be accomplished without difficulty.

‘Weapons that can shoot red light are either a derivative of the old technology or an advanced laster technology implemented in smaller weapons.

‘Although it was impressive, it was not as terrifying as one would imagine. It’s still within acceptable range!’

Since they observed from afar, Su Mo had no expectation of the Liu brothers to be able to precisely describe the specific battle details.

After all, judging by these two brothers’ intelligence, the best they could recognize would probably be cannons and rifles.

“How did you two get these illustrations?”

Liu Zhi explained honestly, “After the battle, these mysterious people did not linger around the battlefield to pick up spoils. They hurriedly grabbed a few prisoners and headed toward Origin Camp as if they had something urgent to do.

“Apart from taking care of a few that escaped on the way, they did not bother with those who pretended to be dead on the ground and were gone within a few minutes.

“At first, we wanted to run but seeing that many people were checking the corpses below, we also quickly rushed toward the scene, and since we were together, we managed to grab some items with these people.

“However, since they had the advantage of arriving earlier. We could only obtain three illustrated books that no one wanted, two notebooks with some scrawly drawings, something that looked like a destroyed remote control, a homemade hunting rifle, pistol, and…AND!”

Liu Zhi suddenly exclaimed as he exchanged glances with Liu Jie. He suddenly used his mind to open up the storage space and took out an item from it.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Rapid beeps sounded from Su Mo’s waist as soon as the object appeared and linked to the unknown object in Liu Zhi’s hand.

Su Mo took a closer look at it and realized…

‘That’s the scout robot No.1 that disappeared in East Long Mountain!’
