"The lineup is actually not bad, but it shouldn't be Panda and his crew..."
Tao Yu stood behind a discarded car, watching the approaching team and seemingly feeling a bit helpless.
Enhanced by the second Deification's Meditation Technique, Tao Yu didn't think any Pioneer in the new Development Zone could elude his Spirit Perception.
And now, he could feel the hostility of the enemies.
Armed like that, an RPG would smack you in the face, followed by a wild spray of bullets.
If an Inner City Pioneer in the new Development Zone were alone, their chances of escape were almost nonexistent.
But the threat to himself was truly minimal.
In the pickup truck, there were two threats that felt a bit stronger, possibly Inner City Pioneers. Those riding motorcycles outside and the ones setting up the guns and carrying rocket launchers should be Outer City Pioneers, and he couldn't even rule out the possibility of some natives.
"I can't just let you guys actually wreck my car, can I..."
Tao Yu couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore. As the convoy was about to pass by the discarded car, he suddenly drew two assault rifles and started firing blindly.
The convoy's attention was all on the sluggish RV up front, with an RPG resting on someone's shoulder in the pickup truck's bed.
How could they anticipate an attack from the side!
The kicker was the exaggerated accuracy of the attack—headshot with every bullet!
The RPG shooter on the pickup truck was the first to suffer.
Not only was he shot in the head, but the bullet also hit the RPG's fuse precisely, causing the rocket to explode above their own heads.
Boom~
The entire pickup truck reared up from the explosion and then flipped over!
Taking advantage of the pickup's upturn and revealing the gap on the other side, Tao Yu methodically followed the trajectory and cleaned up the armed militants on the other side of the truck, and even casually picked off the driver.
Leaving the pickup to roll over by the roadside alongside the explosion.
Tao Yu then leisurely pressed out the magazines of the two assault rifles and meticulously replaced them with new ones.
"If you're not dead, come out and we can chat. You might not have to die then."
Tao Yu sat lazily on the hood of the adjacent abandoned car, seemingly too lazy to move.
"Why are you attacking us?! Why! Can't we just pass by?"
A hysterical voice came from the other side.
Tao Yu had shares in Dada and was completely aware of the scale of the original convoy, so he knew it would be difficult even for Inner City Pioneers to put together a team like this.
This was also why Tao Yu had cooperated with Panda in the beginning—the hassles of personnel matters were too much.
So it was normal to feel heartache now that this group had been scrapped in an instant.
"You pass by your way, I fight my fight, any objections?"
If the other side didn't admit their ill intentions, so be it. Tao Yu didn't care about those things.
I have ill intentions towards you, that's enough!
Such a boldly stated argument truly infuriated the two people who had tumbled with the pickup truck and scrambled to hide behind it.
How can they be even more unreasonable than us?
Outer City bumpkins are too rude!
"Sir, you've misunderstood, we really had no ill intent. Considering that you haven't suffered any loss, but we have suffered greatly, how about we part ways for today?"
"Right, right, we really don't know..."
Ignoring their hasty explanations, Tao Yu spoke again,
"So it was about the Alien Taming Technique?"
Once again, silence followed. But Tao Yu had already confirmed the reason.
"Tch, I said it wasn't likely they'd come to me without any vested interest, so that's what this is about, is it? Is it the boar guy from the farm..."
While speaking, he sighed and hopped off the car hood.
He began walking slowly towards the front.
Having figured out the case, there was no need to leave himself unprepared for similar situations in the future, which meant the other party no longer had any value to him...
"Wait, brother, listen to our explanation..."
The voice from behind seemed to get more urgent upon hearing Tao Yu's approaching footsteps.
But Tao Yu could feel their malice growing rapidly.
Sure enough, as he was about to reach the pickup, a figure swiftly pounced from above while another dashed to the side, raising the gun in his hand.
An assassin, yet daring to approach close.
This is suicide!
The faces of the two Inner City Pioneers twisted with ferocity.
What did it matter how strong he was?
What did it matter that he had subdued Panda?
Once you're killed, you're dead!
Giving us...
Click~
The Pioneer diving from above missed entirely, as if he had struck a patch of black mist.
But the next moment, the click behind him caught his ear.
Struggling to look back, he saw one pair of hands just released from his companion's neck, letting the limp body collapse to the ground as if in distaste, shaking off the hands.
"I had already agreed not to kill Inner City Pioneers carelessly, what are you guys doing? I'm going to get scolded later..."
Tao Yu sounded resigned.
Just as the other turned and ran, Tao Yu followed with a leap through the shadows, casually flinging his wrist, his hand striking the other's chest.
Bang~
The figure flew backwards like a cannonball, crashing and embedding itself into the caved-in roof of the pickup truck.
The unrestrained force had turned his internal chest cavity into mush.
After dealing with the matter, Tao Yu slowly drew the Warlord's Sidearm and fired several shots into the other's head, even blowing off the crown without a response; he was definitely dead.
"Why bother? Now you've made me waste time burning this down, which is a bit excessive. I was ready to rest..."
Propping up a motorcycle, he skillfully took off the gas cap, tearing a big hole in the tank, then started pouring out the gasoline.
They had ridden so many bikes over, it was like self-service.
Next, he would need to borrow a bike to catch up with Little Black's RV. Delaying bedtime would only make it later...
