Just when Li You and Bracken split up, at the other end of the Old City. Although the Old City was also built along the bay, there was a river surrounding the city, connecting the Emerald Lake with the open sea. At this moment, by a river. Several soldiers from the Rice Gang were blocking the entrance to a sewer, sitting and chatting, looking a little bored. The sewer entrance was blocked by the remnants of the Old City survivor organization, "Embers". Embers was once the largest survivor organization in the Old City. Under the leadership of Troy, they used the Twin Towers as their base to maintain the basic order of the Old City. Originally, although the infected in the Old City were stronger, there were more special infected, and there were evolved versions of the Night Demon running around at night, the survivors' lives were actually better than those in the slums. Until a few weeks ago, Rice returned to the Old City and brought the power of the Rice Gang here. Needless to say, what happened next. And a few days ago, Rice suddenly went crazy, causing the Rice Gang, which was originally advancing slowly, to launch a large-scale attack.
A large number of safe zones were breached by the villains of the Rice Gang. Some of the survivors were captured, some were killed, and more were driven to the streets, waiting to die slowly. The Embers Organization tried its best to rescue these people, but the Rice Gang did not even intend to let them go. Although everyone in the Embers and the rescued survivors resisted with all their strength, in the face of the general attack of the Rice Gang, the Twin Towers, which were not dangerous enough, only lasted for half a day before being breached. The members of the Embers and the survivors dispersed in the final offensive. Troy fled to the slums with a few people, and Savi followed another group of people into the sewer. The Rice Gang chased them relentlessly until they reached the entrance of the sewer, and were forced back by the survivors relying on the terrain. In Rice's eyes, this group of survivors who had been defeated and fled obviously posed no threat, so he didn't take it too seriously. After arranging two teams of soldiers to take charge, he didn't ask any more questions. And since Rice himself didn't care, it's easy to know how motivated these soldiers were to work. They only need to guard the exit, kick the door and harass when they are happy every day, and use the rest of the time to brag and chat, and their lives are so easy. It is the daily operation of the Rice Gang, please do not blame. But today, this group of Rice Gang soldiers ushered in a few uninvited guests. On a roof a little further away from the river bank, Cran squatted behind the wooden railings and used the curtains hanging from the ceiling to cover his figure. He observed the Rice Gang soldiers who were chatting not far away for a while, then put a strange round-headed arrow on the Ranger revolver and slowly pulled it open. "Swoosh!" The round-headed arrow flew out, and because the arrow head was slightly heavy, the flight trajectory moved down a little. However, Cran had already made a prediction, and the arrow still accurately landed on one of the Rice Gang soldiers. The moment the round-headed arrow came into contact with the soldier, it began to heat up and expand, and suddenly exploded! "Bang-bang-bang-bang!" Three explosions followed, and the soldier was thrown away with a scream, while several others were also affected, each of them suffering varying degrees of injuries. If that was all, except for the chosen one who was directly hit, everyone else would only be injured but not dead. But don't forget, this is Harlan! Even if the Rice Gang cleared most of the infected, when someone made a sound, one or two plague demons would always emerge from the corner.
At the moment of the explosion, the roar of the plague demon sounded, and immediately three plague demons roared and rushed over here! And at a farther distance, there were more plague demons looking for the source of the sound. Many of the Rice Gang soldiers who were affected and blown up by the explosion were pressed to the ground and torn fiercely by the plague demons before they had time to get up. The screams immediately echoed in the air. On the roof of this building, Cran put away the Ranger Bow, and together with Dyke behind him and another companion, they covered themselves more tightly. After entering the old city, Cran took Dyke and a parkourer from the Embers, separated from the main force, and rushed to the sewer entrance that Savi told them in the communication. This was a task that Li You had specially assigned to them. In fact, Li You even thought of giving it to Cran alone at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that although Cran was the protagonist, he was not yet at the maximum level, so he sent two more people just in case. It happened that Dyke was familiar with the Rice Gang, and the parkourer from the Embers knew all the routes in the old city. So they tried to hide their tracks as much as possible along the way, avoiding the Rice Gang's outposts, and rushed to Savi's hiding place. The Rice Gang set up a large military tent here and took turns to guard. In order to avoid being besieged, Cran took out his newly acquired explosive arrows and decided to kill with a borrowed knife. Although, if Li You were here, he would rather call this tactic the electronic cricket fighting technique. The characteristic of the explosive arrow is that it will explode after being shot and hit, and it is a three-in-a-row detonation. Although the explosion is not as powerful as in the game, which can blow people up to several meters, it is still no problem to blow away the lucky ones who are directly hit. And the most important thing is that the explosion of this arrow is very loud, which is a great choice to suppress human enemies and attract infected people to attack them. The original survivor organizations in the slums, such as the tower, have the ability to make explosive arrows, but because of the negative effect of the noise they make, basically no one uses them. It was Li You who proposed that since they were going to deal with the Les Gang, this kind of arrows could be mass-produced and used, and the tower began to mass-produce explosive arrows. The first person to understand Li You's intention and the correct use of explosive arrows was Cran. At this moment, the effect was really good. More and more plague demons came, and the injured Les Gang soldiers were unable to resist and were gradually overwhelmed by the plague demon group. But the Les Gang soldiers in the tent not far away also realized that something was wrong, and finally came out at this time, holding guns one by one, aiming at the plague demon group and continuously output. Seven guns, focusing fire on a small group of plague demons at close range, no matter how fast the plague demons moved, they were helpless and were soon cleared out. The gunshots naturally attracted more plague demons, but they came from different directions, and in front of the well-equipped archer team, they were just delivering food like the gourd baby saving his grandfather. The Les Gang soldiers formed a circle on the periphery, relying on firepower to beat all the plague demons rushing towards them into rag bags. Clan, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt that he should not just watch, but also participate. So he took out another explosive arrow and pulled the Ranger bow. "Swoosh-" The explosive arrow flew out again, and this time it landed in the center of the circle formed by the Rice Gang soldiers! "Bang-!" Three consecutive explosions sounded again, and the Rice Gang soldiers were blown away, falling to the ground one by one and howling.
And more plague demons had already arrived, shouting and starting to enjoy the buffet meal on the ground. Clan and the other two waited quietly for almost half an hour before the plague demons ended the canteen dinner and wandered away. After confirming that all the plague demons had dispersed, Clan opened the bow again, this time with ordinary arrows, and shot and killed several biters that lingered at the entrance of the sewer one by one. Then, the three of them went down to the ground and came to the entrance of the sewer. Clan nodded to the parkourer from the Embers Organization, so the man walked up and knocked on the iron door of the sewer. "Savi? Are you in there?" ... In the sewer. The survivors hiding there were originally shrouded in despair. They had not been to the surface for several days. They were trapped in the sewer without sunlight all day long, without enough food, and had to worry about the Les Gang soldiers who came to harass them from time to time. Even the strongest people could not hold on. Savi was still encouraging others a few days ago, but today, even he was almost desperate. His only hope was that the big sister Troy, who contacted him yesterday, would not be stupid enough to run back to the old city to die. Just when the despair was about to engulf everyone, someone knocked on the door of the sewer entrance. Everyone was shocked. The Les Gang is here again! ? The survivors at the door grabbed their weapons and hid in various fire points. Once the Les Gang came in, they would be fired upon by them. During this period, they fought off the attacks of the Les Gang in this way. But Savi immediately found something wrong. If it was the Rice Gang that tried to attack, they would not be so gentle. Then, he heard a familiar voice. "Savi? Are you in there?" Savi was startled at first, then suddenly jumped up from the ground! He rushed to the door and shouted: "Tucker, is that you!?" The person outside the door answered: "It's me, Savi! We fled to the slums with my eldest sister, where we got help from other survivors' organizations! Now they are bringing us back and taking back the old city!" Savi was very happy at first, after all, Tucker was here, so the eldest sister Troy would probably be fine. But Tucker's next words suddenly extinguished his excitement. "Tucker," Savi couldn't accept it, "How could you do such a thing? No matter what, you can't join the Rice Gang!" The three people outside, Clan, were all startled, and then they realized what Savi meant, and they were immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. As a result, Savi thought that Tucker had joined the Rice Gang and was ordered by Rice to trick him into opening the door because what Tucker said later was too magical and unbelievable. Tucker was also angry and amused, but he didn't know how to explain to Savi for a while. No matter what he said, Savi didn't believe it, and Tucker was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
But at this time, Clan pulled Tucker's hand and pointed to the sky. Tucker looked up and found that Li You's helicopter was flying over his head, and a big speaker was playing Rice's black history in a loop. He immediately reacted and said to Savi inside the door: "If you don't believe me, then listen carefully! The helicopter in the sky is broadcasting, listen to what it says!" Savi was a little suspicious, but still leaned against the door and listened carefully for a moment. After listening for a while, an incredible look appeared on his face: "How is this possible!?" Other survivors hurriedly asked: "What's going on?" Savi's face was strange: "There is the sound of a helicopter outside, and there is a radio that keeps saying that Rice was driven away from the slums and came to Zone Zero." "How is this possible!?" The others almost said in unison, turning into repeaters. "This must be a conspiracy!" said a survivor. Another person expressed support: "Where can Harlan find a helicopter that can fly? This is a trick carefully planned by the Rice Gang. We must not open the door." Most of the others agreed. If Li You were here, he would complain about them, saying that they think too highly of themselves. In fact, Rice has long stopped caring about them, so he let them live until now. Fortunately, Savi was still relatively sober. He said, "I don't think it's right. If Tucker betrayed us and joined the Rice Gang, then Rice would not have used this stigmatizing method to trick us out. How could we deserve this treatment?" The others looked at each other in surprise. After a long time, everyone came to the conclusion, "Then open the door and take a look."
... The three people outside the door waited for a long time. During this time, two biters wandered in and were dealt with by Clan and Dyke. Before the three people completely lost their patience, Savi in the sewer finally opened the door. Savi was very cautious when he opened the door, and only felt relieved when he saw that there was only Tucker with an angry face and two other men who didn't belong to the Rice Gang outside: "Tucker--!" Tucker slapped him: "You bastard, you refused to open the door, do you know how dangerous it is outside!?" Savi apologized repeatedly: "I have no choice, I must be responsible for these survivors on behalf of our Embers organization. Compared to this, what you just said is true?" Although he knew that Savi was changing the subject, Tucker still snorted and chose to answer the question: "That's right!" Then, Tucker introduced Clan and Dyke to Savi and others, and everyone greeted them, making the two feel embarrassed. Tucker said to Savi: "The Light Guard took us in and led us to counterattack Zone Zero. The helicopter over there is the vehicle of Mr. Li You, the leader of the Light Guard." "Mr. Li You and Big Sister Troy have already named you and want to take you back first, so you have to follow us now. Let's go to the radio station." Savi was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "You are crazy! The radio station is one of the largest strongholds of the Rice Gang. Going there is tantamount to committing suicide! And what should we do with so many survivors here?"
Cran came up at this time and answered Savi's question for Tucker: "Don't worry, just a few minutes ago, the radio station was taken down by our companions. I just confirmed it with the radio." "As for the survivors here, I have to inconvenience you and wait here for a while. We don't have enough manpower to escort everyone to the radio station." In order to avoid being discovered by the sentries of the Rice Gang along the way, Cran's actions can only be light and simple, with only the three of them. Before the survivors started to riot, Cran added: "But don't worry! The defense station guarded by the Rice Gang outside has been taken down by us. You can go to their tents to get weapons, equipment, and daily necessities." "We are the light guards. We will never give up the innocent survivors, and we will fight the Rice Gang to the end! So please be patient and wait here for a while." "When we completely defeat the Rice Gang, we can go back to the ground again!" Maybe Cran was born with a kind face, or maybe his promise to take the supplies from the Rice Gang's defense station at will was tempting enough. In short, the survivors finally agreed to hide in the sewer for a while. Watching the survivors return to the sewer, Savi wiped his sweat and asked Cran: "So, are we going to the radio station now?" Just as Cran was about to answer, he saw a striking flame rushing into the sky from the direction of the twin towers, exploding into a brilliant firework in the air! Clan's face changed slightly: "That's... Li You's signal flare!" Then he grabbed Savi and said, "Let's go, we'll leave immediately, the radio station needs you!"
