This time, the man who was hit was even more miserable than the previous one. The man had a big hole in his chest, so did the cover he was hiding behind. He fell to the ground and struggled for a while before stopping movingpletely.
This time, it wasn’t just Tu who was stunned.
All his brothers next to him were also stunned, and for a moment, they even forgot to shoot.
"... What kind of weapon is this?!" "
"It’s the guy on the truck!"
"Fuck! Gauss Rifle?! Why would they have a Gauss Rifle!"
The marauders had heard rumors about Gauss Rifles. Although they didn’t know the principles behind it, they heard that it could prate exoframes with a single shot, which was better than the Army’s anti-material rifle.
When they heard that they were facing someone with a Gauss Rifle, everyone panicked and did not dare to pop out their heads to fight back. However, the more they acted that way, the more dangerous it became for them.
The marauder, who had a mohawk, looked at his boss and said terrified, "Boss, let’s withdraw!" As long as they were still alive, they could start their lives over again. But if they continued to fight the group they intercepted, all of them might be buried out in the wilderness. Moreover, there were many strongholds out there on the wastnd. Even if they couldn’t capture their target, they could choose others.
Tu was still hesitating. His rationality told him that he should withdraw, but he couldn’t bear to let go of the fat sheep that was right in front of him. Even if their opponent had a Gauss Rifle, they were superior in numbers. As long as he split some of his men and went around to them from the side...
Just when he was thinking about how he could turn the situation around, he heard the sound of gunfireing from another direction. A row of bullets hit them from their backs.
Unprepared, the marauders in the back screamed in pain after being shot.
Tu was startled, and looked back quickly, only to see a group of people moving towards them from the direction of Elm District.
There were a dozen of them!
"Boss… Their reinforcements are here!"
"Shut your mouth! Do I need you to remind me?! Damn it!" Tu was both shocked and angry. He quickly divided some of his men to stop the reinforcements from moving towards them.
He couldn’t figure out how they were able to get reinforcements so quickly. It had only been ten minutes from the sound of the first gunshot.
Even if they could react quickly, their reaction speed was really ridiculous, right?!
The situation was reversed in an instant. The two groups of people were slowly closing in from both the east and west, sandwiching them on a slope running from north to south!
There were people on the west and the east. No matter which side of the slope was used as a cover, they would still be suppressed!
After a while, more people fell to the ground, and several others were sted to pieces by the Gauss Rifle.
In just ten minutes, the casualties reached 30%. How would they have the morale to continue fighting?
Tu could no longer control his subordinates.
All his men left their fighting positions one after another and fled to the north desperately. However, their physical strength and physical quality were far inferior to yers who had full bellies. Р?
Especially in the eyes of yers, these fleeing marauders were walking silver coins and contribution points! They could even earn regional prestige!
As it was a skirmish triggered near Longevity Town, it would not be too much to get one or two hundred regional prestige, right?
The kind and generous administrator was also on the scene. Even if Light, the developer of the game, was a little stingy, Master Dawn, the AI with Game Master authorities, would definitely not be stingy to them!
Looking at their fleeing backs, the yers were like hungry wolves whose eyes shone with greed. They hunted down everyone they could.N?v(el)B\\jnn
"Don’t run!"
"Drop your guns, we will spare you!"
"Hands on your head, and squat down!"
After ying the game for some time, some old yers also learned a few words that NPCs could understand. After they shouted for some time, there were really a few marauders who dropped the weapons and squatted on the ground with their hands on the back of their heads.
During the entire encounter, the yers suffered 0 deaths and 3 injuries, all of which were minor injuries. One of the yers was injured because he tripped over a tree root buried in the snow and knocked his nose on the ground when chasing the marauders with too much excitement,
In reality, it would definitely hurt for a long time, but in the game even if they ignore it, it wouldn’t be a problem.
As for the marauders… They suffered horrible casualties. 11 of them had died and 26 of them were captured.
After the reward of 50 silver coins, 50 contribution points, and 100 regional reputation was given to each yer who participated in the battle, Chu Guang then ordered the cheering yers to take the prisoners to the open space in front of the north gate of Longevity Town.
Walking to the prisoners with two guards, Chu Guang nced at the navy blue coats on them and asked. "You are from the Army? Who is yourmander?"
Tu, who was badly bruised, trembled and wanted to raise his hand, but before he could speak, one of his men next to him answered tremblingly. "We… We’re not, sir."
<em>Then they’re just ordinary marauders.</em>
Chu Guang understood their real identity and continued to look at them and ask, "Where did you get your clothes?"
Tu, who was squatting on the side, said quickly. "The Army in the north suffered a defeat. I heard that the chief general of the expedition force, General as, was executed by the people of the Great Rift Valley. The deserters of the Army either ran west or south, killing and looting everyone they saw along the way. The guns we had were picked up from the deserting squad leaders."
The Army’s uniform was very useful, especially in the north, many survivors would run away in fear when they saw the dark blue coat.
Tu couldn’t help but wonder why those people were not afraid.
<em>The Army’s force was defeated?</em>
Chu Guang was slightly surprised.
Such heavy snow was naturally more unfriendly to the attackers with long supply lines. If he were the general of the expeditionary army, he would definitely considerunching a decisive battle before the situation worsened. If he lost, he would go back to his own base, and if he won, he would live in the enemy’s house for the remainder of the duration.
The appearance of Vanus further corroborated his spection that these people could no longer fight. But what Chu Guang did not expect was that the expeditionary force had lost so badly that even General as was killed.
<em>The Army’s rout is in disarray, and even the marauders are forced to move south.</em>
<em>It seems that this winter won’t be a good winter...</em>
Seeing Chu Guang pondering, Luca thought he was not sure what to do with those captives, so he stepped forward and suggested in a low voice. "Sir, if you are undecided on what to do, would you like to hear my advice?"
"Go ahead."
"We are just in need of manpower to do the work. It would be a pity to kill them directly. It’s better to send them to work as ves. And depending on the situation next spring, we can decide whether to keep them for further use or sell them to the mines in Red River Town."
<em>This is a good idea.</em>
Chu Guang nodded.
<em>There is just one problem.</em>
"We don’t have enough guards… What if someone runs away?"
Luca continued, "That’s no problem at all. We can mix the new prisoners and old prisoners together, allocating two people from each side into one cell. If one person goes missing, the other three will be hanged."
Chu Guang’s eyes lit up instantly. "This is a good idea, how did youe up with it?"
Luca smiled slightly embarrassedly and bowed his head respectfully. "Sir, this practice isn’t very umon… A lot of very survivor strongholds do this…"
<em>Okay…?</em>
<em>It seems that I’m still too kind.</em>
Chu Guang sighed to himself before looking at the marauders with a dignified expression on his face and said, "I originally wanted to hang you on the gallows, but killing prisoners is not a just move."
Looking at the trembling prisoners, he continued. "From today, you will serve your sentence as aborer and strive to be someone useful to society, civilization."
After speaking, Chu Guang looked at Luca, "I’ll leave those people to you."
Old Luca nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."

<strong>[Announcement: </strong>Information on the Academy has been updated. It’s rted to the Shelter No. 117 and the Great Rift Valley. Alpha 0.9 is in production, so stay tuned for the new gamey!<strong>]</strong>
<strong>[Today’s rmended recipe: </strong>Today, the administrator doesn’t know what to eat, so he decided to leave it to you.<strong>]</strong>
<strong>[Announcement of the stronghold system: </strong>Marauder activities appear in the north of Longevity Town (Prosperity +10)<strong>]</strong>
Quit Smoking: Wait, why is prosperity increased when there are marauder activities?
Ample Time: Because those people are too weak. It’s no different than giving us experience points. But I think 10 points increase is too little. It may be because of the impact of marauder’s activities on local security and immigration.
Night Ten: Thank you universe. ( ?°
Quit Smoking: I see, as expected of Old Brother Ample Time, I didn’t think of it at all. Devs are awesome!
Ample Time:...?
Night Ten: Pfft.
Construction Boy: Boss Ya, why don’t you sell mushrooms recently!
Yaya: How can you find mushrooms in such cold weather! It’s out of stock, it’s out of stock until next spring! QAQ
Makka Pakka: Damn it! I’m so depressed now.
Quit Bullshit: +1, I’m going to die without Boss Ya’s mushroom soup.
Yaya: Is it that serious?
Sisi: Don’t believe it, you will be deceived by those fools!
Tail: Huh? How does Sisi know that I’m trying to trick the unemployed Boss Ya into dressing up as a maid and serving me drinks while calling me master?
Sisi:...?
Teng Teng: ?
Night Ten: Question time! Is this something you can watch without spending money? ( ?
Irene: @Mole, you know what we need, brother. (Nosebleed)
Yaya: You guys are so perverted. ^o ^
After returning to the shelter, Chu Guang browsed the official website, and especially checked the progress of the raid at the entrance of Shelter 117.
Escaping Mole was still very strong. He cooperated with Mosquito and developed a set of unique fighting methods, that was, find a new agility type yer to lure monsters to one spot, and kill them all at once
Monsters in Wastnd Online had no chasing distance limit. For those monsters that did not have a fixed nest, in theory, as long as one was shameless enough, the monsters could chase one to the ends of the earth.
They had already killed 2 Creepers with this method!
Escaping Mole thought he had found a bug and didn’t dare to say it too clearly on the forum, but what he didn’t know was that the VM would record theirmunication information and secretly upload it to the cloud.
Chu Guang could guess what they were doing based on their moving patterns without even needing Little Seven’s help.
In addition to Escaping Mole, another more active alpha tester on the forum was the lucky Spring Water Commander.
This guy found 10 nurturing cabins, all in good condition, and got a total of 700 silver coins. After splitting with two mates, everyone got 233.3 silver coins.
That didn’t even include the ie from the battle and the plot after that.
In addition, Spring Water Commander also created a separate post to praise Steel Nail 1.0 created by Mosquito and calling it a legendary melee weapon.
"Brothers, believe me, Mosquito can be reliable once in a while. I swear, I’ve never seen a melee weapon that’s better than this! When I was pinned down by a Creeper and was about to be killed by it, I immediately clenched my fist, and then with a bang, a hole appeared in the Creeper’s head! It was simple and brutal, one hit kills! I would like to call it the strongest weapon in the current version!"
Night Ten: Tell us, how much did Mosquito pay you to advertise against your conscience. ( ?
Mosquito: Screw you! What do you mean that I can be reliable once in a while, aren’t my Hellfire and Tempest not reliable? They are incredibly awesome, okay?!
Garbage: I can testify! Mosquito can be reliable asionally, but it’s a bit dangerous to use the tools designed by him. Last time, I had a st in the trench with his boiler on my back, but I had to wait for 3 days toe back…
Mosquito: Give back my money!
Garbage: QAQ
Chu Guang, who was peeping at the screen, couldn’t help but sigh, "These idiots."
There was a knock on his door the next moment.
Chu Guang didn’t raise his head, and responded casually, "Pleasee in."
He originally thought it was Xia Yan who hade to harass him again, but it turned out to be Yin Fang.
As soon as the young man entered the door, he did not speak, and stood with his head lowered for a while before opening his mouth with shame on his face.
"I..."
"I have to apologize to you."
