Chapter 254: The Camp's Stirring
Chapter 254: The Camp's Stirring
Jiang Cheng drove the captured truck, following the pickup truck ahead, heading towards the camp.
It was only around 2 pm, and the truck's rear carriage had ample space, enough to fit nearly half of it even with ten Black Mane Pigs inside.
However, Nightingale's psychic energy consumption was immense, and it wouldn't be good if they encountered such a situation again later.
To be safe, the two decided to quit while they were ahead.
Before leaving, they took all the weapons from those men, including the two heavy machine guns mounted on the pickup truck, which they also dismantled.
According to Nightingale, these 14.5 caliber heavy machine guns were worth over twenty thousand yuan each, even more expensive than heavy sniper rifles.
Additionally, there were three heavy sniper rifles and four 12.7 caliber heavy machine guns, with a total value exceeding 1.2 million yuan!
Of course, this was the purchase price for new firearms. If it were a resale price, it wouldn't be as high. Even half of it, 600 thousand yuan, would be considered a good deal to Jiang Cheng.
After driving for over an hour, they encountered other vehicles along the way, but fortunately, there were no unexpected incidents.
After all, the other convoys only had two or three vehicles, and seeing two vehicles on Jiang Cheng's side, they didn't bother to cause trouble.
At the camp's entrance, there were still many people, some sitting and others standing.
Upon seeing the approaching truck, many quietly averted their gazes.
White Pine Camp was not that big, and even the adventure teams within it wouldn't dare to have any ill intentions.
Just like the owner of the truck not far away, Chen Jun.
Including him, his team had seven or eight people, each armed with heavy firearms. If a firefight broke out, the most likely outcome would be mutual destruction.
So, the people at the entrance quietly glanced at the truck.
But the next moment, many were stunned.
Because in front of the truck sat a person, and he looked unfamiliar.
Moreover, the two pickup trucks with mounted heavy machine guns were nowhere to be seen.
"Beep, beep."
Accompanied by the loud honking, the truck slowly entered the camp and headed towards the warehouse in the corner.
The crowd couldn't take their eyes off it.
Only when it was out of sight did they finally turn their gazes to each other.
"What's going on?"
Someone asked, "Isn't that Chen Jun's off-road truck? Did I see it wrong?"
"I'm also wondering, the truck looks exactly the same from the outside, but the driver doesn't seem like him at all. And did you notice that the pickup truck in front has a cargo bed, and there's a man and a woman sitting inside?"
"Hiss..."
Someone sucked in a cold breath, "Now that you mention it, I remember. This morning, it seemed like there was a man and a woman inside that truck, and they drove into the camp. Judging by the tire load, they seemed to have a good harvest. The ones who just drove in with the pickup and the truck, weren't they the same two people?"
"What?!"
"Which two people were they?"
Hearing this, many people widened their eyes.
In fact, many of them had noticed Jiang Cheng and his companion, and they were all tempted.
The reason they didn't take immediate action was to gather more intelligence.
What if it's a tricky situation?
It would be bad if they got themselves involved.
But after hearing this...
"Could it be... Chen Jun and his team were taken care of by those two?" someone voiced the thought on everyone's mind.
"No, it can't be. They had seven or eight people, and there were even two or three Tier 5 Primordial Force Warriors in their team. How could two people take them out?"
"Then what about that truck? With Chen Jun's personality, do you think he'd let someone take his truck?"
Two people, you say? To be honest, from the moment I laid eyes on them, something felt off.
Someone scoffed, "Think about it, two people daring to come here, one of them a woman. What does that tell you? Either they're clueless fools, or they're hidden experts. Which do you think they are?"
The crowd exchanged glances, unsure.
If they hadn't seen the truck they arrived in, they might have thought differently.
The group likely assumed the former, or at least, an easy target.
But now, it's more likely the latter, at least a Tier 6, perhaps even a Tier 7 Force Warrior! Otherwise, how could they take down seven or eight people without a scratch?
The atmosphere grew quiet again.
Some harbored thoughts of retreat.
Others clung to a thread of hope, wanting to assess the situation further.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng and Ye Ying, having driven into Channel 3, encountered the same middle-aged man from earlier, now accompanied by a young man.
The middle-aged man, previously all smiles, froze upon seeing a man and a woman exit the vehicle, his smile replaced by fear.
He watched helplessly as Xiao Sun died before his eyes.
His mind was in disarray.
In hindsight, he suspected a connection between these two and the previous incident. Why else would trouble arise only after their appearance?
Furthermore, the supervisor had specifically instructed them to report immediately if these two were spotted.
He never imagined these two would reappear before him.
Jiang Cheng, sensing the man's fear, smiled slightly, "Why the hesitation? Let's start counting the prey."
"Oh, yes, yes."
The middle-aged man hurriedly complied, his fear hidden as he approached, fearing the consequences if he displeased them, like Xiao Sun.
The young man behind him also sensed something amiss, his face betraying fear.
Fortunately, their attention was soon drawn to the black-maned pigs being unloaded from the truck.
"One, two, three, four..."
The middle-aged man began counting.
By the tenth pig, he was thoroughly stunned.
Having worked here for nearly a decade, he'd never seen anyone hunt and bring back ten black-maned pigs in one go, let alone a pair.
"Let's estimate the value."
Jiang Cheng suggested.
"Yes, yes."
The middle-aged man, flustered, suddenly remembered something and smiled bitterly, "These pigs are Tier 5 Beasts, valued between 200,000 to 300,000 each. If it were just two or three, I could handle it, but ten... that's 2 to 3 million, beyond my authority. Only our supervisor has that power."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Ye Ying, who nodded.
She sensed no hostility from the two, only fear.
"Alright, go call him then."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Okay, I'll make the call. Please wait a moment."
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out his phone, and called the supervisor.
