Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 122: Improved Shock Bomb (Weakened Version), All [Jackals] Taken Down

Yu Yuan looked at the Hanlace Apartments before him.

The effect of 'Neighborhood Rat' allowed him to hear a soft gasp as he approached the main door.

Although the sound was very faint, it was crystal clear in his ears.

His footsteps paused slightly, then continued approaching.

At this moment, the street was only illuminated by thin moonlight, revealing blurry scenes.

Yu Yuan quickly arrived at the apartment's main entrance.

Following the intelligence provided by Harris, leader of 'Blood Raven', he knocked on the metal security door with a specific rhythm.

Knock knock knock....

Just as he finished knocking, the door opened a crack.

A single eye peered through."Guide?" A hoarse voice came through the door crack.

"It's me, this place isn't safe! You've been spotted! You need to come with me quickly!"

Yu Yuan said rapidly!

"Let him in!" A voice came from deep within the apartment, and the door opened accordingly.

Yu Yuan slipped inside.

A dagger was already pressed against his waist.

"Hey, brother, this is quite rude. I'm only helping you as a guide out of respect for Lord Loris!"

Shadow completely ignored Yu Yuan's words.

The two arrived at a room where another person came forward to pat Yu Yuan down, confiscating the pistol and dagger he had prepared in advance.

"Hey! What's the meaning of this?"

Alpha came before Yu Yuan and picked up his pistol to examine it.

"Colt M1911A1, rifling severely worn, but the body is very well maintained. It seems you're someone who takes good care of your weapons!"

As he spoke, he handed the pistol to someone behind him.

"Don't worry about your weapons, we'll return them when you leave. After all, we're new here and need to be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan rolled his eyes, but his expression quickly turned serious as he looked at the person before him.

"Fine then!"

"But you've been spotted by the May Alliance and need to follow me away from here quickly. Lord Loris has already prepared a hiding place and survival supplies for you."

"What's your relationship with Loris?"

Fang came over to ask.

"I'm nothing to him. I'm with 'Blood Raven', our boss is Harris. Lord Loris couldn't come get you personally, so he contacted us..."

Seeing they still wanted to question him, Yu Yuan showed an impatient expression.

"I said, are you done yet! If you don't want to leave, then stay here yourselves! I won't stay here and die with you!"

Hearing this, Fang looked at Alpha. Alpha stared at Yu Yuan for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Everyone, prepare to evacuate!"

As the words fell, all members of 【Jackal】 sprang into action.

But two people still remained by the window, watching the situation outside.

Yu Yuan took all of this in.

Soon, Alpha looked at Yu Yuan.

"Ready!"

Yu Yuan extended his right hand.

"Weapons!"

This time Alpha was very decisive, directly handing the pistol and dagger to Yu Yuan.

Taking the weapons, Yu Yuan immediately turned and walked toward the main door.

"Stay close to me. The route we're taking to leave is somewhat special, so be mentally prepared."

As he spoke, Yu Yuan carefully pushed open the apartment door, observed for a moment, then looked back and warned again: "Let me repeat, stay close to me, don't fall behind!"

After speaking, he dashed out.

"Follow!" Alpha took the lead, following behind Yu Yuan.

But soon, two people moved between Alpha and Yu Yuan, separating them.

And Alpha took the opportunity to step back into the center of the group.

The entire team moved swiftly and in perfect coordination.

Although Yu Yuan didn't look back, he could hear the changing footsteps behind him and raised his evaluation of this team once more.

Not far along, Yu Yuan brought the 【Jackal】 members to a sewer manhole cover location.

Under their understanding gazes, he opened the manhole cover.

"Quick, go down here."

Alpha looked at the pitch-black sewer.

"Trap, Shadow, down!" The two went down one after another, and soon their voices came from below.

"Everything's safe down here."

Only then did the others file into the sewer one by one.

Yu Yuan stayed last, and as the sewer manhole cover was locked back in place by him.

After climbing down the ladder, the gun barrels that 【Jackal】 had just pointed at Yu Yuan were finally lowered.

Flashlight beams cut through the sewer's darkness.

Yu Yuan looked at the virtual map and pointed ahead.

"Everyone follow, it's a bit far, but that place is absolutely safe."

After speaking, he had already started running forward.

Half an hour later.

The 【Jackal】 members followed Yu Yuan, crawling into an abandoned civil defense shelter level in the southern district, looking at the dilapidated ancient brick building.

Astonishment showed in all their eyes.

They hadn't expected Green Forest City to have such a place.

Yu Yuan brought them to the middle of a corridor deep in the shelter level. Three meters ahead of him was a corridor turn.

After confirming all 【Jackal】 members were behind him and relatively concentrated, he turned to look at Alpha. Under Alpha's questioning gaze of surprise, he revealed a strange smile.

Pointing toward the center of the group, he shouted loudly.

"What's that?" The 【Jackal】 members instinctively looked where Yu Yuan was pointing.

And a flashbang (weakened version) had already been thrown from Yu Yuan's hand, landing on the ground, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

In that instant, they all showed looks of disbelief, because they all recognized what this was.

"Fuck your mother!"

Everyone uniformly performed turning, diving forward, closing eyes, and covering ears movements.

Yu Yuan, while throwing the flashbang, had already taken large strides leaping past the corridor turn, hiding behind the wall with his back to the corridor direction.

Commander tactical earphones were also put on his head immediately, activating hearing protection function, his entire head buried in the crook of his arm.

Boom——

The flashbang detonated in the corridor, intense white flash and explosive roar filling the entire passageway.

Shock waves continuously reflected and overlapped within the corridor, the released energy rapidly accumulating. The overpressure and noise from the explosion, after continuous stacking, discharged along the corridor toward both sides.

In the corridor, the 【Jackal】 squad had nowhere to hide and could not avoid it, taking all the impact and noise solidly.

Yu Yuan only heard a very muffled, short 'thump' sound, about as loud as forcefully slamming a door, then complete silence.

Only after two seconds did he hear the surrounding environmental sounds again.

He also sensed a shock wave passing by him.

Yu Yuan didn't hesitate, immediately stood up, picked up the flashlight, and looked at the situation of 【Jackal】 around the corridor turn.

Although he had warned them in advance, giving them time for protection.

In a confined space, the power of a flashbang was still something they couldn't withstand.

Even though he used a flashbang (weakened version).

Even though it was a version modified by Masier with significantly reduced power, it still had this effect.

【Jackal】 members, every single one of them, were currently holding their heads, curled up on the ground, faces full of pain.

Yu Yuan wasn't sure how long the weakened flashbang's effects would last, not daring to delay, he directly went forward, pulled out the prepared zip ties, and bound the hands and feet of all 【Jackal】 members.

All weapons on them were removed and thrown into the ring.

After everything was done, the entire 【Jackal】 wasteland raiders had become his prisoners.

Looking at the people lying on the ground, a flash of eagerness appeared in Yu Yuan's eyes.

"Let's begin!"

An item had already appeared in his hand.
