Chapter 703: They’re Not Humans! Who Are These People? Part 3
“Let’s try to negotiate with the other party and see if they...”
“I’ll lead a team to infiltrate them and see if I can...”
As soon as they met, Li Hu and Chen Shen almost unanimously wanted to express their thoughts.
Halfway through their sentences, the two held their tongue simultaneously and glanced at each other, motioning for the other party to speak first.
After a pause, Li Hu glanced at Chen Shen’s young face.
Li Hu could not suppress the fighting spirit in his heart and urgently thought of a compromising way to voice out his plan.
“Village Chief, regardless of whether this group of people is enemies or an ally, we would still have to show them the current position of our territory.
“Then, whether they are willing to talk or stubbornly turn us away, we could always discuss our next step later.”
Li Hu finished voicing out his thoughts to Chen Shen.
The so-called “show them our current position” that he had in thought was to use their forces to sneak into the other party’s territory and catch someone.
This would ensure that they could gather enough information and not fall into a passive stance.
However, within the next thirty seconds, Chen Shen showed him the other party’s building complex through the telescope, which made him immediately dismiss the idea.
“Since the opponent’s forces may be more potent than ours, it would be reckless to take such an aggressive tactic.
“How about this instead, Village Chief? You bring three people to greet them, and forty of our men will cover you from behind.
“In the event that they launch an attack on you guys, you have to get down immediately, and we will counterattack from behind!”
It would be great if they could infiltrate the other party’s territory, kidnap their people, and they successfully overwhelm them by force.
However, if the other party had equal combat strength or even greater strength, they would be walking into their deaths if a battle broke out after unsuccessful negotiations.
That was not something Chen Shen and Li Hu wanted.
Chen Shen smiled and comforted Li Hu. “Alright, Li Hu, don’t be too nervous about it. Maybe, they’re not as bad as we think they are!”
Chen Shen adjusted his collar and patted the snowflakes on his body.
During negotiations between armies, no killing was allowed to happen to representatives.
That was an unspoken rule in the age of civilization. However, it would not work in the doomsday wasteland.
Chen Shen understood the risks he was about to take, but his heart was unusually calm.
He randomly picked three soldiers and began approaching the site under everyone’s gaze.
On their way, seemingly afraid that the other party might not see them approaching, Chen Shen held up a flame torch they had long abandoned in the village.
He lit it and held it high up with his right hand.
At a distance of one kilometer, the team of four were like fireflies in the night and had not been spotted by the people of the mysterious building complex.
At around 800 meters, the figures inside the building complex were still moving calmly and had not taken of Chen Shen’s team approaching them.
Under such tense circumstances, Chen Shen’s party remained collected, but Li Hu’s team, who followed 200 meters behind them, had their palms covered in sweat.
They continued to move forward and got increasingly closer.
Chen Shen and the four finally gradually approached within 500 meters of this mysterious building complex.
The figures inside finally noticed the team of four outside their village.
Instantly, the whole building complex began to buzz loudly, and a commotion began to break out.
“Sh*t! They’re not humans, and they have guns!
“Quick! Be prepared for battle and to rescue the village chief!”
At a distance, Li Hu used his portable binoculars to observe the actual appearance of the silhouettes of the other side’s buildings.
They were not human beings like Chen Shen had mentioned, they were evidently a group of foreigners!
Although they had similarities to humans and walked on two feet with two hands to carry weapons, they were just like the first wave of foreign races that descended on the wasteland. They were mutated creatures!
These creatures were...
“Murlocs!”
Li Hu’s body began to tremble, and his right hand that held on to his gun could not help but shiver when he saw the fins on the other party’s heads that had not completely degenerated.
Modern technological weapons were humanity’s backbone against foreign races.
Firearms!
Humans could make up for their fragile bodies and were invisible against enemies hundreds of meters away.
A single person can exert the combat power of an average human would be dozens of times stronger and even enough to block hundreds of enemies!
It was possible to kill even a powerful foreign race as long as they had guns.
This was the confidence humans had in the face of the unknown and was their spiritual support to survive in the wasteland.
In the face of his enemy, Li Hu’s heart was shaken.
Because, at one glance, he could clearly identify the weapons in the hands of the murlocs.
“F*ck! Their guns look much more advanced than ours!”
The murlocs immediately rushed out of their mysterious building complex, and in just a split second, Chen Shen was surrounded by hundreds of enemies.
Their tactical formation was also clearly experienced and even better than most trained soldiers.
A few murlocs approached to come in contact with Chen Shen, while some were laying down on the ground and set up a defensive line with guns.
Li Hu’s team was at an awkward distance of 200 meters.
He could only order everyone to get down on the ground and reduce their movements to reduce the risk of being discovered.
“Up until the decisive moment, we can’t be the first to fire the first shot!
“Hurry and inform the village to be ready for battle!
“We’re in big trouble this time!”
Seeing Chen Shen being surrounded and having nowhere to go, Li Hu silently instructed the team and, at the same time, switched off his gun’s safety switch.
A battle was about to break out!
