Chapter 45: Successive Strikes

More than 20 days later than usual, the green finally completely covered the land in the northwest again. Nature has a miraculous ability to repair itself, strong radiation and cold weather cannot stop the power of plants to thrive upward, except for the ruins and huge bomb craters, the ground will soon no longer be able to see the traces of the ravages of war.

On a dilapidated highway that had begun to grow sporadic weeds, three oxen rattled along a flatbed cart full of goods, and more than twenty young men around the ox cart escorted looked lazy and listless, more like a spring outing than a guard.

"Cheer me up, it's not been peaceful lately, send these three carts back to the town safely, you can play wherever you like!" A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face in the lead shouted loudly.

"Li Tou, you are making too much of a fuss, since the Xue Gang Master came, we have beaten the grandchildren of Mingtang one by one and can't raise their heads, and they don't dare to provoke now if they have the courage to do so!" Behind the middle-aged man, a thin guard answered with a hippie smile.

"I see, our Pengfei Gang will clean them all up sooner or later, and the province will scare itself all day long like now, brothers say, right?" The other guard echoed in response.

The people below suddenly quarreled with each other.

"Shut up!" The man didn't expect his reminder to cause a bunch of complaints from the people below, "I tell you, don't even know how you died if you die carefully?" "

Before the man's words fell, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and three flying knives flew in the shape of the finished glyph in front of him, shooting straight into his chest. The man's eyes were quick, and he jumped forward to the ground to dodge the flying knife while shouting a reminder, "Be careful, the enemy is attacking!" "

The flying knife grazed the man's head, and poof, all pierced the chest of the thin guard who was laughing behind the man.

At the same time, from the front and both sides of the road rushed out at the same time four black-clothed men armed with ghost-headed steel knives and cyan masks, these people were far faster than they imagined, and the rabbit fell into the crowd in a few ups and downs, and these people did not answer and rushed into the crowd is a knife slash.

The guards hadn't even reacted to the mutation, and five or six had already fallen in a pool of blood before they could even pull the bolt.

Individual guards who reacted quickly prepared to start a counterattack in groups of two or three, only to find that these masked men were several times faster, stronger, and agile than others, and the steel knife in the hand of one of the guards was only half swinged, and the masked man's blade had already cut the guard's throat; One of the guards stabbed out in front of him with a shot, but suddenly lost the trace of the masked man, and the guard was stunned, and a sword light slashed from the back of his neck.

As soon as they came into contact with the guards of the Pengfei Gang, most of them died, and the middle-aged man who was still lying on the ground was stunned, and jumped up from the ground with a snort, and when he got up, he had already turned into a lizardman with a pointed head, covered in scales, and dragging a huge tail.

The lizardman didn't hesitate to get up, turned around and ran in the direction of Holy Water Town. But before he could run a hundred meters away, a masked man chased after him with a knife, and the masked man's knife swept sideways across his neck in an instant when his figures staggered, and the lizardman lowered his head and the blade brushed in a millimeter.

Before the lizardman could raise his head, the wind behind his ears rang, and the masked man swept the ghost-headed steel knife back with a twist of his knife. The lizardman let out an "oops" in fright, fell to the ground again, and then rolled on the ground, forming a ball of flesh covered in scales and rolling straight forward.

The lizardman changed, and the steel knife in the masked man's hand also changed, instantly turning into an eight-foot-long steel gun, and the masked man threw the steel gun forward in the middle of the way the lizardman rolled forward, and the ball that rolled forward stopped suddenly, and the masked man rushed to the front almost at the same time, grabbed the gun with one hand and lifted the gun with the other, and directly picked the meat ball into the air with a two-handed struggle.

The ball of flesh had to stretch out in the air, and the soft belly was facing the ground, and as soon as the lizardman's body unfolded, the steel spear passed through the lizardman's abdomen like a sharp arrow off the string, spilling a line of blood in the air.

……

Carrying large bags and small bags of urban refugees walked along the dilapidated highway with difficulty, their thin bodies and empty eyes like walking corpses, the crowd of refugees stretched along the road for hundreds of meters, these people did not know where they came from or where they were going, only the instinct to chase food.

"Look, there's a lake ahead, and there's a pier, and there must be fish in the lake!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

The hollow eyes gradually became brighter, and the thin body suddenly had strength, and the speed of the team suddenly increased, and the people walking in front even ran.

Seeing that the fleeing crowd was about to rush to the dock, thirty or forty men with five or three thick blades ran from the pier to block the direction of the crowd's advance, "The front is the territory of my Pengfei Gang, all go back!" "

"Let's go over there, let's get something to eat by the lake." The fleeing people who ran ahead pleaded.

"What's the matter, if you don't say it, it's not okay, the whole lake is the property of my Pengfei Gang, and no one is allowed to fish in it!" Although the Pengfei Gang who blocked the road was small, they were all loud and sound, and they didn't pay attention to the hundreds of refugees at all.

The refugees gathered more and more in front of the dock, and the people behind did not know the situation in front of them, and kept pushing forward, the people in front of the team were squeezed forward and moved their bodies, and the people of the Pengfei Gang were also squeezed backwards. One of the leading men, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, took out his gun and fired two shots at the sky, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"Retreat! Give me all back! Peng Fei, who had regained control of the situation, drove the fleeing crowd backwards.

"Say you, give me back!" The man in the lead pushed hard a small and hooded refugee who was standing at the front and did not move, but the man did not push, but he shook himself.

The caped refugee looked up, revealing the face of a delicate woman, with a slightly mocking smile on it.

The leading man was stunned for a moment, and then raised the gun, but the gun in the woman's hand rang out first, and then there was a series of gunshots, and the man saw the brothers in the gang who were shot almost at the same time next to him at the moment he fell.

"Rush, they've all been killed!" The fleeing crowd instantly overwhelmed the blocking gang.

……

Holy Water Town, the chief helm of the Pengfei Gang.

In the middle of the lobby of the Juyi Hall, a gold-lettered plaque was hung high, and the four big characters on the plaque were "Pengfei Wanli".

Under the plaque is a mahogany offering table, on which is placed a three-foot-tall statue of Guan Gong holding a sword and a golden body, and three tall sandalwood sticks are burning with faint cigarettes in the brass incense burner in front of the statue, and the hall is filled with light smoke.

Nearly 100 square meters of the hall of justice placed two by two wide chairs, the hall on both sides of the wall inserted eight blazing torches, the hall illuminated the hall in detail.

There were eight people sitting on the twelve chairs at this time, and there was another person in the middle of the hall who was pacing back and forth in front of the offering table with his hands behind his back, this person was in his early thirties, and his face with sharp knives and axes was full of evil spirit, it was Zhuang Pengfei, the top of the Pengfei Gang.

Zhuang Pengfei stiffened his face and didn't speak, and the other people in the hall didn't dare to speak, and the entire hall was immersed in depression and slaughter. There was a rush of footsteps, and a thin man in his fifties hurriedly walked in.

As soon as Zhuang Pengfei raised his head, his face eased when he saw the man who walked in, "Third uncle, it's just for you, how is the news checked?" "

The man who was called the third uncle walked straight to the second chair in the hall, sat down with a big grin, and coughed lightly: "Brothers have been waiting for a long time, I think there must be something you have heard about, yesterday the Changle gambling house in the gang was smashed, and Jia Meng, the leader of the seven gangs, was abolished. This morning, the ox cart that was carrying goods to the town was hijacked, and none of the 11th gang leader Li Tianyuan and the 23 brothers who were guarding him survived. At noon, our wharf at Shengshui Lake was destroyed by a group of displaced people, and the brothers on the wharf did not survive. These cases must have been done by the same gang! It's obviously coming at our Pengfei Gang! "

As soon as the man who gave the top of Xie fell, the people below became noisy, and one of the black and fat men immediately stood up and said loudly: "Third uncle, have you found out who did it?" Did Mingtang do it, we're not done with this! "

"Helper, let's copy the guy and do it with Mingtang, they have been bullied to the door!"

"Helper, don't hesitate, anyway, the battle with Mingtang will have to be fought sooner or later!"

"Yes, let's do it, I'm the first to go on the sixth child!"

Zhuang Pengfei frowned, made a downward gesture, the hall was quiet, and turned to the man Xie Ding and said, "Third uncle, how is the specific situation?" Can you be sure that Mingtang did it? "

Xie Ding's man continued with a smug face: "There are no living words left in today's two cases, the other party who smashed the gambling house yesterday went to seven people, but only two evolutionaries, a man and a woman, shot; In addition, Cui Qi, who was in charge of guarding the entrance of the village yesterday, reported that there were indeed seven strange people in capes on horseback in the town yesterday, and these people lived on the side of Mingtang as soon as they entered the town. At present, although there is no direct evidence to prove that these people are from Mingtang, Mingtang must not be able to get rid of it! "

No one in the hall noticed that when the man mentioned the seven horseback riding monsters, sitting on the last chair in the hall, a man dressed in black leather trembled unnaturally.

Zhuang Pengfei's brows furrowed even deeper, and his face couldn't help but sink, "Third Uncle, you mean that you can't be sure that yesterday's smashing of the casino and today's robbery and murder were done by the same group, and you haven't found evidence to prove that Mingtang did these things?" "

Xie Ding's face turned red, "Time is a little tight, the people below me are still investigating, I believe it won't take long to find evidence." "

"Helper, what else do you need to check, is this an unknown matter? It must have been Mingtang's revenge for the Xue Gang Leader who abolished them. The fat black man stood up again and said.

Zhuang Pengfei glared at the fat black man fiercely, and the man shrank his head and sat back.

Zhuang Pengfei looked at the people in the hall and said slowly: "It's still a bit early to start a full-scale war with Mingtang, I don't want to kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, and finally let others make a profit!" But a few brothers are right, whether Mingtang did it or not, I have to visit Ma Yuanming, the old fox, otherwise outsiders will think that I Pengfei is afraid of him Mingtang. Brethren, pack up and come with me! "
