Chapter 41: Stealing the House, Team Wipeout, and Loot
Creak...
The sewer manhole cover was gently pushed up by Yu Yuan, who carefully checked the situation outside.
Looking at the dense forest, he mentally calculated the time.
His current position was near the musical fountain in the center of Splow Park.
The sewer here directly connected to the one under Carlisle Tunnel, the distance not being too far.
And from this manhole position, less than two hundred meters north was the dense forest area, allowing direct observation of that location.
Yu Yuan had arrived in this area around 10 AM, not only thoroughly exploring underground Splow Park but even detouring to Carlisle Tunnel to check the situation there.
He had then completely planned his escape route after obtaining the supplies.
"It's almost 3 PM now, even if Thug Prison puts on a full performance, they should be returning soon," Yu Yuan calculated mentally.
The timing wasn't far off.About ten minutes later.
Boom.... rat-tat-tat....
Intense gunfire sounds came from outside the manhole cover, followed by Yu Yuan hearing the roar of dozens of motorcycles.
Lifting a corner of the manhole cover, he looked toward the direction of the sounds.
Whoosh whoosh....
Over twenty motorcycles spewing flames burst out from the dense forest, riding with astonishing momentum from the nearby road toward where the battle was happening.
Yu Yuan almost doubted his eyes.
But he wasn't mistaken - each motorcycle had a pipe resembling an exhaust pipe erected in front, with surges of fierce flames shooting skyward from the pipes, accompanied by billowing black smoke.
Yee-haw.... wooo....
Amid the riders' fervent cheers, the motorcade disappeared, leaving only the faint sound of motorcycle engines.
Yu Yuan's mind immediately recalled a classic movie....
"So these are the Flame Knights! No wonder they're called that, and they're all bald - you have to be bald! Otherwise wouldn't the flames burn all their hair off?"
After this brief exclamation, Yu Yuan remembered he needed to focus on his mission.
Taking one more look in the direction the Flame Knights had departed, he pushed open the manhole cover, leveraged himself up with his hands, and emerged onto the surface. As usual, he loosely replaced the cover and set up warning traps.
Raising his already loaded FN FAL Assault Rifle, he began moving stealthily toward the dense forest.
With [Mie Mie] equipped on his body, although Yu Yuan wore dozens of pounds of equipment, he still felt light as a swallow, every movement executed with ease.
On his back was that 60L Oxford cloth backpack, containing no other supplies except empty backpacks and a bundle of rope.
Soon reaching the dense forest, he could already see those apocalypse pickup trucks parked in the central area.
The distance was less than a hundred meters from his position. Using the trees as cover, Yu Yuan slowly approached.
Quickly, he could clearly see the situation inside.
Five similarly bald Flame Knights stood neatly around a bald man wearing fiery red robes.
Beside this middle-aged bald man, there was actually someone clearly from another faction.
Yu Yuan guessed this person was probably the representative sent by Thug Prison - among the seven people present, only he had hair.
Although there was one extra person, it didn't really affect Yu Yuan's plans.
All seven were looking toward where the battle sounds originated, while the suspected Flame Priest and the Thug Prison representative were conversing about something.
Yu Yuan gently set down his FN FAL Assault Rifle, retrieved an M64 Grenade from his Chest Rig, pulled the safety pin, and crouch-walked slowly forward while watching his footing.
He paid close attention to where he stepped, not wanting to commit the foolish mistake of snapping a branch.
The actual situation proceeded much more smoothly than Yu Yuan anticipated. With the distant battle sounds providing cover, he easily reached within twenty meters behind the group - right where the apocalypse pickup trucks were parked.
"This is far enough! Can't get closer!" Yu Yuan crouched behind the pickup truck bed, moving around to the side to prepare throwing the grenade.
But just as he stood up, he found himself eye to eye with someone - both of them froze.
Yu Yuan: ....
Yu Yuan's mind immediately exploded "Damn it, how could I forget the intelligence mentioned there was an organ donor! But why do this guy's eyes look so familiar!"
However, he quickly noticed the donor wasn't making any noise, and he remembered who this person was.
"Isn't this the guy who stole my soy milk powder that day? How did he end up in Thug Prison's hands?"
The other party clearly recognized Yu Yuan too, his slightly surprised eyes immediately calming down, his gaze locking onto the grenade in Yu Yuan's hand.
He immediately lowered his body and tried to curl up within the pickup truck bed's protective range.
Although his movements were very careful, he still inevitably made some noise.
Seeing one Flame Knight's shoulder already turning, Yu Yuan knew he couldn't wait any longer.
He immediately threw the grenade toward the center of the Flame Knight group, then quickly ducked behind the pickup truck's wheels, already pulling out another grenade.
"Grenade..." he heard someone exclaim, followed by the sound of the grenade hitting the ground and rolling.
One second later...
Boom....
The moment the explosion sounded, Yu Yuan had already pulled the safety pin from the second grenade. Without caring about anything else or looking up, he estimated the position and threw it backward over the pickup truck.
3 seconds later, another explosion sounded.
This time Yu Yuan was already prepared - one second after the explosion, he rolled out from behind the tire, lay prone on the ground, and aimed his FN FAL Assault Rifle through the pickup truck's undercarriage at the several figures lying on the ground, unknown whether dead or alive.
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
He began finishing shots on the bodies, but quickly noticed something wrong.
"Wait, there are only five bodies!" Yu Yuan instinctively rolled aside.
Bang bang....
Just as he rolled, gunshots rang out, and two bullet holes appeared where he had just been lying prone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Yuan saw the shooter's position and heard barely suppressed screams coming from ahead.
His eyes narrowed slightly, immediately understanding that although the previous two grenades had left two survivors, they were definitely seriously injured.
In that case...
Take advantage of their weakness to claim their lives.
If the enemies weren't injured, Yu Yuan might have been cautious, but now that he knew they were wounded...
Why be afraid?
He pulled a grenade from his chest and threw it toward where the sounds came from.
Sure enough, the moment the grenade was thrown.
Sounds of rolling and wailing erupted.
Yu Yuan mentally snorted coldly.
Boom....
Another explosion sounded.
This time Yu Yuan didn't give them any chance, charging out directly, his FN FAL Assault Rifle firing toward where the sounds had originated.
Bang bang bang....
Bullets punched holes in the ground as Yu Yuan advanced quickly while counting his remaining ammunition.
Sure enough, he spotted two figures hiding behind a tree. One of them seemed to hear Yu Yuan's footsteps and was already raising the AK in his hands.
Bang bang bang.....
