Chapter 409: Confrontation
Chapter 409: Confrontation
The location chosen for this duel was at the edge of the area controlled by both parties, near a tunnel entrance.
The next day, over twenty medium and small vehicles, along with hundreds of two-wheeled vehicles, roared out from the camp, heading towards the designated duel site.
Even though there was already sufficient lighting to navigate the roads, they still turned on their bright headlights.
Most of the members who came out were from Lu Tong Logistics' original security team, so their combat strength was not to be underestimated.
In fact, relying on the original security team, they held their own in ordinary skirmishes, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to persist until now. It was only when facing Third Limit Fighters that they were truly powerless, and this was why they were gradually squeezed and swallowed up by Ant Toxin Transport.
If Lao Bian had been willing to put in a little effort, the outcome would have been different. This was also the main reason why everyone was dissatisfied with Lao Bian. When they learned that Lao Bian had been kicked out and another Fighter had been hired, aside from a few who grumbled with concern, most of them cheered and expressed their support.
Without saying anything else, the newly hired Fighter immediately challenged Ant Toxin Transport without the slightest hesitation. Regardless of their strength, this action alone won the favor of most people.
Lan Shenan specifically instructed everyone to prepare their firearms and ammunition, and she also arranged for people to respond and keep watch at critical intersections, in case Ant Toxin Transport tried to ambush or surround them during the duel.
The convoy arrived well in advance, and after reaching the designated location, they saw that some of Ant Toxin Transport's members had also arrived and started setting up barricades and obstacles.
Lan Shenan ignored them and ordered the sandbags and obstacles to be removed, and she also began setting up some simple blockades and fortifications.
Both sides paid no attention to each other and focused on their own tasks.
Lao Cao stepped down from the vehicle and silently observed the opposite side.
Xiao Ding joined him and also looked at the other side, asking curiously, "What's wrong, Lao Cao? What are you looking at?"
Lao Cao said, "There are some people over there who used to be our brothers. I recognize a few of their faces."
Xiao Ding was unconvinced and said, "The remaining brothers are the real brothers. Those who ran away during difficult times, do you consider them brothers? Do they consider you a brother?"
Lao Cao replied, "I'm not pitying them, but thinking about the past. When Li Laoshu was here, Lu Tong Logistics was thriving, but now..." He shook his head.
Xiao Ding said, "Li Laoshu's business was indeed good back then, but the subordinates didn't get much. Otherwise, why would so many people demand a split when problems arose? Li Laoshu himself doesn't even know where he ran off to. I think he's probably enjoying life in the Upper City."
Although this Li Laoshu didn't have a citizen identity, he had money. There were plenty of people with citizen identities but no money, and hiring a few people was enough for him to enjoy life.
However, Lao Cao sighed and shook his head, saying, "It might not be that simple." The Iron Fist Gang's influence in the Lower City wasn't much weaker than the Moss Clan's, but they suddenly disbanded, and the series of incidents Lu Tong Logistics encountered afterward were not mere coincidences. The underlying situation was extremely complex.
In a camper van at the rear, Chen Chuan sat in the front seat, slowly sipping a hot drink and observing Ant Toxin Transport, waiting for his opponent of the day.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Lower City was chaotic and disorderly, and the experts who emerged from such a place seemed slightly stronger.
In reality, most of those who came to the Lower City were those who had failed in competitions, not to mention that the resources in the Lower City were far inferior to those in the Upper City. Moreover, the level of one's opponents determined their own level.
Constantly fighting weak opponents in the Lower City or not fighting at all would only make one weaker.
Therefore, the overall strength of Fighters in the Lower City was indeed inferior to those in the Upper City. However, when it came to top-level experts, one couldn't be so decisive. Quite a few people came to the Lower City with special purposes, and these people couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
At that moment, someone from the opposite side walked towards them and exchanged a few words with Lu Tong Logistics' members.
Lan Shenan's voice echoed in Chen Chuan's Boundary Vessel, "Little Brother Chen, Ant Toxin Transport said that Gai Er will be a bit late."
Chen Chuan remained calm and said, "Then we'll just wait a bit longer."
This was merely a tactic to make him wait and wear down his morale, a pointless move in a duel.
Whether he waited in the camp or here, he was already skilled at controlling his emotions and could use this time to adjust his state using breathing techniques.
Lan Shenan remained vigilant, fearing that Ant Toxin Transport might play tricks, so she said, "Little Brother Chen, I'll go check the surroundings."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a hum and then took out a book of Lower City information that Lu Tong Logistics had found for him. He began flipping through it while also pouring himself another hot drink to sip slowly.
After a while, a vehicle slowly drove over from the opposite side. It was a modified armored car with a ferocious face painted on the front, baring its fangs.
Behind this vehicle was an open-top car, and several people with colorful paint on their heads sat inside—clearly members of the Moss Clan.
