Chapter 214: Resistance
Chapter 214: Resistance
Cai Family Village.
Guan Xiaohui was in charge of welcoming guests from the city, and upon seeing the firearms being unloaded from the truck, she exclaimed in delight, "Zhen Jie, you've brought so many weapons this time!"
Standing beside her, Zhen Ping replied, "Previously, there was a gang fight in the city, and we raided one of the Bloodstain Gang's warehouses, finding quite a few firearms. We also managed to obtain some from the plains, which should be able to help you out of this urgent situation."
Guan Xiaohui nodded, then said indignantly, "I heard from the seniors in the team that Bao Yuan and his group are using the organization's name to pursue their own selfish interests. Now, they even want to invade our village together with the Bloodstain Gang. How could someone do such a vicious thing?"
Zhen Ping said, "Many officials in Yangzhi City are newly appointed and are currently unable to pay attention to affairs outside the city. We don't need to be afraid of fighting them."
At this moment, Guan Xiaohui became a little worried, "I heard that the Bloodstain Gang has some skilled fighters."
"Don't worry," Zhen Ping pointed to the distance, "The organization sent several seniors with me this time, and they should be able to help you." She gestured towards a few people who were clearly fighters, and they waved back at them in a friendly manner.
Guan Xiaohui was delighted, "That's great!"
Having firearms was already enough to handle the situation, but the presence of fighters made a significant difference. Once the fighters put on their protective gear, they could quickly advance, making it difficult for gunmen to hit them, and even if they did, the damage would be minimal. This made them extremely dangerous at close range, turning the fight into a slaughter.
Therefore, they also needed corresponding personnel to block them, but Zhen Ping knew that this time, the organization was short-staffed due to the urgency of the situation. The number of people who could come was limited, but she herself was a top student at Wu Yi Academy and a qualified fighter, ready to step in and help when needed.
"Zhen Jie, will you be graduating next semester? Where do you plan to go? Will you follow the team's arrangement?"
Zhen Ping sighed softly, "I might not be able to graduate."
"What happened?"
"Old Cai might send me to Central City. The colleagues there are reportedly facing great difficulties and need many people to support them, but it's hard to obtain the necessary identity.
Fortunately, due to the recent cleanup of the upper echelons in Yangzhi City, the identity checks for those traveling to Central City are not as strict. So, the team plans to transfer some personnel from Yangzhi to support them. I might be assigned to follow one of the team's seniors, and officially, I'll be her student."
Guan Xiaohui felt a bit reluctant, "Oh, so you'll be going to Central City, Zhen Jie. It'll be hard to see you again."
Zhen Ping smiled, "Don't worry, I'll ask a colleague to send you letters."
After some conversation, they saw that all the firearms had been unloaded, so they helped distribute them to the villagers. Guan Xiaohui noticed some vague figures appearing across the way, pointing and gesturing towards them. She immediately said, "It's Bao Yuan's people!"
Clenching her teeth, she continued, "Last time, Bao Yuan led a group of people, including Fang Dawei, to take over our village. Later, we found out that he had been taking money from Mo Lan Company. Fortunately, Chen Chuan helped us deal with those fugitives, saving the villagers."
Hearing Guan Xiaohui mention Chen Chuan, Zhen Ping said, "Chen Chuan..."
Guan Xiaohui continued, "Lately, I've been hearing Chen Chuan's name frequently on the radio. They say he's standing up against the powerful, Zhen Jie. Do you remember telling me that you were in charge of welcoming him when he enrolled? Did you say he might become our colleague?"
Zhen Ping shook her head, "I used to think so, but Chen Chuan has been keeping a low profile, almost never interacting with the outside world except for training. He's also under the school management's watchful eye. I was afraid that contacting him might raise suspicions, so I haven't seen him since. Moreover, the team suspects he might have connections with the government's upper echelons..."
"Oh..." Guan Xiaohui felt a bit disappointed but quickly regained her spirit, "It doesn't matter. As long as we persist, more and more brothers and sisters will join us."
Zhen Ping nodded seriously.
At an abandoned watchtower about three miles away, Uncle Han stood gazing towards Cai Family Village, still dressed in his city attire, leaning on the Cane of Civilization, his hair neatly combed, and looking anything but downtrodden.
He had already contacted a big shot above, and in the future, he would continue his illegal drug trade. The Bloodstain Gang could also return, at most changing their gang name.
The Iron Chain Gang had overextended themselves this time, and some big shots believed they couldn't let them dominate alone. They needed someone to keep them in check, and Uncle Han was undoubtedly the best fit for the role.
However, he had learned from this lesson, realizing he couldn't focus solely on the city. He needed to maintain a good base outside, and Cai Family Village was the best location. He had initially thought it would be easy to take over, but he hadn't expected the villagers to have weapons and some fighting capability. This required a solution.
Being so close, they posed a threat, making it difficult for them to conduct business peacefully. They had to be eliminated.
He had already planned that after taking over the village, he would capture the villagers, perform a secret ritual to transfer their life energy, and finally, dismantle and sell the village to recoup some losses.
This time, he had brought out Du Mian, one of the Five Claws, and several other members of the Bloodstain Gang, which was more than enough to deal with the villagers.
At that moment, a person ran over from a distance and said to him, "Uncle Han, the villagers said they don't want to accept your conditions."
Uncle Han nodded expressionlessly.
Someone beside him spoke up, "Uncle Han, these villagers don't know what's good for them. Uncle Han is giving them a chance, but they're being uncooperative. They deserve to spend their lives here eating dirt!"
Another person added, "They're just uneducated villagers, so it's normal for them not to have much knowledge or experience."
"If we can't negotiate, then we'll fight."
"Yeah, let's fight."
"It depends on Uncle Han. If Uncle Han says fight, we fight."
Everyone looked at Uncle Han, waiting for his decision.
Uncle Han slowly said, "Du Mian, can you handle it?"
Among the group, a man in his thirties with rough skin and stubble around his lips stepped forward. His hoarse voice said, "Uncle Han, no problem. I've seen it before. There aren't any good fighters in the village, not even enough for me to handle with one hand."
Uncle Han said, "The villagers aren't simple. They have connections with the resistance organization. Be careful and don't be careless."
Du Mian immediately responded, "I'll listen to Uncle Han."
Uncle Han was very satisfied. This Du Mian was much more obedient than Zhuo Bao. It's just that Zhuo Bao was fearless in a fight, so he was especially good at doing the dirty and tiring work. Unfortunately, he was also killed by the Patrol Bureau in the end.
"Uncle Han, we've got the stuff." Another person hurried over, pointing to the side.
Uncle Han glanced over and saw a box being carried over. This time, the big shot they contacted had provided them with a lot of good stuff, including these smoke grenades.
This item wasn't very sensitive, but it was very useful. After throwing it out, it would surely cause chaos among the villagers, and they could save some bullets. Although he had brought a lot of money this time, if he spent it all, it would be enough to arm everyone. But he couldn't use his own money to subsidize the gang, could he?
He instructed, "Tell the brothers below to take up their weapons and start when it's almost time."
"Good!"
The gang members immediately responded and dispersed to prepare. In just over ten minutes, they spread out and slowly moved towards the Cai Family Village.
Du Mian walked at the front, and he gestured with his hand. Several skilled members of the Blood Stain Gang scattered to both sides, planning to rush in from different directions.
The villagers in Cai Family Village noticed this and became tense. Each of them held their guns and guarded the upper floors and back of the houses.
At this moment, a car that had driven out from the city arrived near Cai Family Village.
In the back seat of the off-road vehicle, Chen Chuan could vaguely see the Cai Family Village. He told Master Xiao Wei, "You can stop the car here."
"Okay."
Master Xiao Wei steadily parked the car.
Chen Chuan opened the car door, holding the Snow Lady Sword, and got out of the car. He took a look into the distance and walked towards the stronghold occupied by Uncle Han's group. With so many people gathered together, it was hard not to notice them from a distance.
This time, he wore the Bureau of Operations' stab-proof vest and gas mask, and underneath, he wore the protective armor he had received from the warehouse. This garment felt comparable to Guan Yuming's, but with a wider coverage and only a thin layer, it did not hinder his internal breathing technique.
"Uncle Han, someone is coming over there."
The sentry on duty noticed Chen Chuan's figure.
Uncle Han turned to take a look. He was just glancing casually, but he suddenly grabbed the edge of the sentry's barrier and took a closer look. "This outfit..."
Cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, but he tried to remain calm and said in as steady a voice as possible, "Tell Du Mian and the others to come back first, and don't pay attention to the villagers for now."
"Oh... Oh, okay!" The gang members were initially surprised, but when they saw Uncle Han's cold gaze, they shrank their heads and hurriedly went to pass on the message.
At this moment, Du Mian had already charged forward. The villagers opposite couldn't help but start shooting, but it was useless. His speed was too fast, and he swayed from side to side, using his hands to block his head. Even if bullets landed on his body, they couldn't penetrate due to the protective armor.
He quickly reached the village entrance. With a single leap, he landed on the fence, then pushed off and glided several meters past the fence. After landing, he rolled and charged towards a terrified villager holding a gun, intending to punch him to death.
But suddenly, he realized something was wrong. Someone rushed towards him from the side, and he immediately changed his technique. Their hands and feet met, and with a bang, the person was knocked backwards by his punch, staggering and stumbling.
Du Mian also stopped in his tracks. At that moment, the basket behind the villager was suddenly overturned, and a person rushed out, spreading his arms to embrace Du Mian's waist and abdomen.
In that instant of contact, the opponent's grappling technique was activated, but Du Mian immediately felt that his own force was being countered by another force. The person was surprised, "Not good, two-stage power!"
Before he could react, Du Mian pulled and kicked, and the person tumbled to the ground, his heart sinking. They had planned for one person to engage in combat while the other would seize the opportunity to grapple. It was supposed to be the perfect moment when the opponent's power was waning.
But he hadn't expected the opponent to possess two-stage power, a rare technique. With this, their plan had failed. If they couldn't quickly subdue these two, the other areas would likely be breached as well, and they would be in big trouble!
Du Mian coldly smiled, about to counterattack the two, but he heard a whistle from outside. Without hesitation, he immediately abandoned the two and ran back the way he came. The two were stunned. What was happening?
A member of the resistance organization on the high ground pointed outside, "Look over there..."
The two quickly climbed onto the roof and saw a person about half a mile away, holding a long sword and walking towards them.
