Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 119 - 108: Clash
Chapter 119: Chapter 108: Clash
Su Lin pointed to himself, looking bewildered.
“Me? Deputy Captain? And in Team One?”
He instinctively glanced at Liu Jun and Zheng Weimin from Team Two, with an expression hinting, “Are they just dividing me out like this?”
“You’ve reached Tendon Lock Realm, doesn’t it make sense to give you a position?”
Su Can glanced at him irritably, his tone indisputable:
“If you find it troublesome and don’t want to manage specific affairs, have a word with Captain Ye.”
He paused for a moment and added, giving Ye Xin’an a way out:
“However, Captain Ye is experienced; it wouldn’t hurt for you to train well under him.”
It was Su Can who wanted Ye Xin’an to refine Su Lin, and also hinted to Su Lin that he could “slack off.”
What could Ye Xin’an say, standing aside?
He could only respectfully reply:
“Rest assured, sir, I understand.”
Who in the Su Family dares let this young master truly do those trivial tiring jobs?
“Alright then.” Su Lin understood the old man’s intention, which was merely to give him a title while fitting him into Team One to get familiar and adapt, and he nodded in agreement.
The setup shouldn’t take too much of his time as long as that holds.
Personnel movement was quickly finalized.
Su Qi, Zhao Yaxin, and Zheng Weimin would remain at the village, guarding the rear.
The rest of the Tendon Lock Realm combat strength would follow Su Can to attack, targeting Black Scale Village!
Song Yiren stepped forward to negotiate with Shunfeng Travel Group to postpone trade day by a day.
Inside and outside Wuyin Village, all outsiders were refused entry today.
Regarding this decision, the outsiders had no significant objections.
Those eager for trade yesterday had already completed it; today, the biggest “deal” for them is witnessing firsthand this collision that will decide the layout of the Wilderness East District—
Can Wuyin Village fulfill its war declaration?
How sharp are the claws of Su Can, the recovered tiger?
Clearing finished, the entrance of the village gathered seventy percent of the Hunting Group’s elite above Flesh Lock.
No members of Skin Lock were brought, the forty-plus team exudes a murderous air.
Su Qi called Su Lin aside, softly instructed:
“On the battlefield, first use your hand crossbow, seize the chance to take down one of their Tendon Lock. This way, our village can reduce damage.”
His gaze swept past the not-far-standing Song Yiren, lowered his voice:
“Also, try to stay with Miss Song after the fight starts. Her strength… probably not inferior to your grandfather.”
Su Lin solemnly nodded: “Understood.”
Song Yiren seemed to hear, faintly glanced at the uncle and nephew, and the corner of her lips curled into a helpless smile.
Su Qi continued to reveal:
“This time the old man is eager to dispatch troops for a reason. Zhong Wubin is missing, surely colluding with other villages; the news of Black Scale Village’s five pieces of Treasure Meat is probably leaked out. You need to be alert to other villages’ people.”
Su Lin felt a chill, he had the same premonition.
“Second Grandpa Su!” A Team Two member ran over, “Someone from Quanzhou Village is outside claiming to report an important matter to the Su Family!”
Upon hearing this, Su Lin felt something inside.
He exchanged a glance with his uncle, realizing the other shared the same premonition.
Quanzhou Village approaching at this time is likely related to Zhong Wubin.
Sure enough.
The visitor straightforwardly said:
“Second Grandpa Su, Young Master Lin. Zhong Wubin is currently resting in our Quanzhou Village. He has settled terms with our leader, willing to spend all his fortune in exchange for shelter at Quanzhou Village…”
He finished relaying Xu Zhong’s words and quickly left.
Su Lin frowned slightly:
“Quanzhou Village… doesn’t want to sour relations with the Su Family?”
Su Qi coldly snorted:
“Not that fond of that piece of mud either. But he must have learned about the Treasure Meat, with Zhong Wubin’s nature, there’s no reason he won’t try to drag us down…”
Su Lin’s eyes sharpened, immediately said:
“Uncle, there’s no time to lose, we should set out now; probably Quanzhou Village wants a share!”
“Alright!” Su Qi nodded, with a sharp glint in his eyes.
He suddenly leaned towards Su Lin, whispered a few words.
Afterward, he forcefully patted his nephew’s shoulder, his tone was grave:
“Be careful! Remember, coming back alive is more important than anything!”
“Got it.” Su Lin’s expression was steady, with his uncle’s advice already firmly kept in mind.
He turned, walked towards the assembled team, called Su Can:
“Grandfather, it’s time!”
As Su Lin passed through the crowd, he brushed by a figure wearing a steel helmet, carrying a rifle on his back.
A barely audible murmur came from under the helmet:
“Master Lin, thank you.”
Su Lin didn’t halt, only faintly nodded.
The Hunting Group set out, targeting Black Scale Village!
The journey proceeded smoothly.
Though a group of small tails tagged along behind, it made no significant difference.
Nearby villages feared the lingering might of Su Can, as long as Wuyin Village has no major issues, few dare to play the fisherman role.
But to prevent any real catch on the slip, some forces from further locations are surely around; they just certainly stay far away, wary of Su Can’s sudden impulse to attack them.
Black Scale Village is quite remote, almost adjacent to no other villages, hiding alone in a mountainous area.
Building a safe house in the mountains would definitely be restricted by the terrain, but Black Scale Village’s peculiar nature meant that outside the mountains, it might have long been destroyed.
Two hours later, the team arrived at the foot of the mountain.
“Stop! Rest for a moment!” Su Can waved a large hand, his voice rumbling.
The team stopped per orders, everyone took the opportunity to adjust their breathing.
For a group of martial artists above Flesh Lock, the travel distance had negligible consumption; Su Can’s action was mostly to adjust everyone to their optimal state.
The rest was less than half an hour.
Su Lin’s exposed skin suddenly felt a pin-like prick of pain!
His pupils constricted, almost instinctively he screamed a warning:
“Four o’clock direction! There’s an ambush!”
Before the words settled, he had seized the rifle hanging by his side, the muzzle instantly aimed at a seemingly peaceful part of the woodland three hundred meters away, pulling the trigger mercilessly!
“Da-da-da—!”
The crisp sounds of gunshots tore through the silent woodland.
“Damn it!”
“Damn! How was it noticed?!”
The woodland instantly rang with curses and exclamations of dismay.
They were strictly following Zhang Shuo’s orders, not daring to raise their heads, just holding their breath waiting for Wuyin Village to approach and launch a thunderous strike!
No one expected with a wood-covered shield, they’d be spotted three hundred meters away?!
Several accurate shots whistled in, screams immediately echoed! Several people had been hit!
“Swoosh—!”
“Watch out!!”
“Boom!”
“Ah—!”
Su Lin’s actions didn’t halt, already he freed a few grenades from his waist, casting them fiercely towards the direction of the incoming bullets!
“Grenade! Scatter quickly!!” Terrified shouts rose from the forest.
Bang! Bang! Bang—!
Severe explosion sounds were deafening, dirt, stones, broken branches, and leaves shot into the sky!
Thick smoke rolled, instantly obscuring that area!
“Kill them all—!!”
Su Can’s roar exploded like thunder! His sturdy figure was like an arrow released from a string, leading the charge to the chaotic enemy lines!
With the bullets and grenades from Su Lin as cover, the three hundred meters were crossed in an instant by the full-burst Tendon Lock Realm martial artists!
Su Can, Liu Jun, Ye Xin’an followed closely, their silhouettes swift as ghosts!
The smoke had yet to dissipate, three cold glints had already struck!
The flickering of blades and shadows danced, screams followed one another!
Su Can swept his giant sword in an arc, like rushing thunder;
Liu Jun cleaved with his large axe, unmatched in strength;
Ye Xin’an’s long saber was cunning, aiming for vital spots.
Once engaged, it was like tigers into a flock of sheep, slaughtering the Black Scale Village’s ambushers, throwing them into disarray!
Su Qi’s foresight warning, Su Lin’s extraordinary perception, combined with this thunderous counter and assault, instantly shattered the Black Scale Village’s high-stakes ambush into pieces!
