Chapter 77
Weakness is the Original Sin
"500 meters to go..."
Lin Hui sat in the driver's seat, his fingers gently stroking the leather texture of the steering wheel. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, cutting through the congested traffic ahead and locking onto the Wolf Guild's defenses.
It must be admitted that although the Wolf Guild acts brutally, they are indeed quite skilled in military matters.
The defensive line in front of us was not placed randomly, but rather was the result of careful tactical arrangement.
The more than 500 modified vehicles were not haphazardly clustered together, but rather arranged in a staggered manner, forming more than a dozen tiers of firepower formations, organized by squad and company.
The front row consisted of heavy trucks and bulldozers covered with thick steel plates serving as cover, the middle row was a fire support vehicle equipped with twin-mounted heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, and the rear row was a highly mobile off-road pickup truck ready to pursue at any time.
At the high points of the defensive line, the figures of anti-tank missile teams could also be vaguely seen.
This is not just a group of thugs; it is clearly a fully mechanized combat brigade!
In contrast, those solo player teams still queuing up, looking pale and exhausted, were like lambs to the slaughter, completely outmatched in both firepower and morale.
At this moment, Lin Hui had not yet spotted the vice president's level 6 vehicle in his field of vision.
"Looks like that guy is being very cautious, hiding deep behind the defensive line," Lin Hui thought to himself.
The current distance is still too far. We must break through this first line of defense and allow the RV to drive straight in, closing the optimal output distance for Bai Ling and Liu Xi, before we can carry out a decapitation strike on that level 6 vehicle.
Just as Lin Hui was observing the enemy's situation and thinking about tactics to break the deadlock.
A series of piercing cries and cacophony of insults shattered the oppressive atmosphere and reached Lin Hui's ears.
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for! Do you want to die?!"
On a passageway not far from Lin Hui's RV, a gang leader with a red mohawk was kicking a thin young man kneeling on the ground with a fierce expression.
"Bang!"
The kick was powerful and heavy, sending the young man rolling twice on the gravel-strewn ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Big brother...big brother, I really have no supplies left..."
The young man, ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, scrambled over and grabbed the red-haired man's leg, sobbing uncontrollably, "Half of our fuel and food were stolen on the way, and we just handed over the rest... There's really nothing left!"
"No supplies?"
A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the red-haired gang leader. His gaze passed over the young man and landed on the dilapidated level 2 modified sedan behind him.
The passenger window was half open, and a young woman was sitting inside.
Although her face was covered in dust and her hair was a little messy, her frightened eyes and beautiful face were quite moving.
The red-haired gang leader licked his chapped lips, then used the barrel of his gun to lift the young man's chin, grinning maliciously, "Isn't this the best supplies? Since you can't pay the toll, then leave your woman here!"
"No!"
Upon hearing this, the young man seemed to have been provoked. He lunged forward and grabbed the red-haired man's leg, screaming, "She's my girlfriend! You can't do this! Please, let us go! We'll do anything for you, just don't touch her!"
The woman inside the car also heard this, and she turned pale with fright, gripping the car door handle tightly, her whole body trembling.
"Damn it, they're so ungrateful!"
A fierce glint flashed in the red-haired gang leader's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang--!"
A crisp gunshot rang out.
A bloody hole instantly appeared between the young man's eyebrows. Before the pleading in his eyes had faded, his body fell straight backward, and blood quickly stained the ground beneath him.
The players queuing around them let out a suppressed gasp, but no one dared to move, or even breathe loudly.
"Ah!! Brother Jie!!" The woman inside the car let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Damn it! I had to waste another bullet!"
The red-haired gang leader disgustedly wiped the blood off his boots onto the corpse, spat out a glob of phlegm, and said, "No money and you want to go into the city? Consider this beat-up level 2 vehicle as interest. As for this woman... hehe, we'll take good care of her for you!"
The surrounding thugs from the Wolf Guild burst into laughter, their eyes filled with bestial lust.
"Drag this woman out!" Red Hair waved his hand.
The vehicle's owner was dead. The car door was violently pulled open, and a young woman screamed in terror, her hands gripping the door frame so tightly that her nails broke and bled profusely. But her strength was no match for the several burly men.
"Snapped!"
One of the thugs slapped the woman across the face, causing her mouth to bleed and her vision to blur.
"You filthy bitch! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for! It's your good fortune to serve us brothers!"
"Take this to Brother Cao!" Red Hair ordered. "Such a fine piece of goods should be given to Vice President Cao to have a taste first. Once Brother Cao is tired of it, he can reward us with it, and then it'll be our turn!"
"Hahaha!"
The surrounding thugs let out a lewd laugh, roughly lifted the young woman who was utterly desperate, and walked her deeper into the defensive line.
The whole process took only a few minutes.
Countless eyes watched this scene from among the hundreds of cars lined up around them.
Some gripped the steering wheel in anger, their knuckles turning white; some turned their heads away, unwilling to witness the horrific scene; and many more lowered their heads, their eyes filled with fear and numbness.
No one dared to speak.
No one dared to resist.
That still-warm corpse was the best warning.
"A bunch of beasts..."
Inside the red Dayun heavy truck, Chen Ye watched this scene unfold, slamming his fist against his thigh, his eyes red-rimmed. "These aren't even human! They're worse than zombies!"
But in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
He may have been passionate, but he wasn't stupid. Facing such a well-organized armed force, charging in alone would be futile and would only lead to his death.
Inside Lin Hui's RV.
Su Qingqian looked at the woman being dragged away, her face as pale as paper.
As a woman herself, she deeply understood the despair that woman felt at that moment. If she hadn't met Lin Hui, if she had been captured by the Wolf Guild, her fate would likely have been even worse than that woman's.
After the collapse of the post-apocalyptic order, women no longer possess freedom, but are the most likely source of conflict and destruction.
"Boss..." Su Qingqian's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Hui sat in the driver's seat, his gaze as cold as ice, without the slightest fluctuation.
He is neither the Virgin Mary nor the Savior.
In this cruel game, everyone has their own destiny.
Weakness is the original sin.
"Don't look," Lin Hui said calmly. "Our target is the level 6 vehicle belonging to the vice president of the Wolf Guild."
