The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 46 When the Battle Begins
Outside the City of Chasing Light, on the Cliff Ridge.

As night falls, on the mountain range covered with dead trees, in bases built of cargo boxes, a group of winged young men, in groups of three or five, constantly inspect the base where tens of thousands of square meters of blood-essence rice are planted.

In one of the cargo boxes, five middle-aged men and women wearing the armbands of the White Feather Gang captains were sitting together, eating rice cooked with blood essence rice and tasting wild beast meat, making the members patrolling outside drool.

Food like blood rice is something that only a few people in the City of Light can enjoy. Although wild beast meat is not as energy-rich as monster meat, it is much more delicious and advanced than the synthetic food that people eat every day in the City of Light.

"Boss Lant, do you think the Cang Jing Weapon Shop is really willing to spend three hundred thousand to ransom someone?" A burly man with triangular eyes, over two meters four inches tall and wearing alloy armor, bit into the beast meat while sizing up Luo Qi, who was tied to an iron table not far away. "This woman may be quite pretty for a human, but I remember the owner of the Cang Jing Weapon Shop seems to be from the Three-Eyed Tribe. Every one of those Three-Eyed people is as clever as a monkey. To be willing to pay such a high price, could this woman be the old owner's illegitimate daughter?"

"Maiti, do you think there is something to gain from this?" The tall, dark-skinned and strong man named Lant, who was sitting among the crowd, glanced at the man with three corners of his eyes with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"I don't know either." The triangular-eyed man shook his head slightly. "I just think that we asked the Blue Bird Gang for such a high price before, hoping that the Blue Bird Gang would be at odds with the Cang Jing Weapon Shop. By then, even if we kill the Cang Jing Weapon Shop employees, the Cang Jing Weapon Shop will have a problem with us, but they probably won't cooperate with the Blue Bird Gang anymore. After all, if we can't even protect their employees, how can we ever cooperate in the future?"

"But I didn't expect that the Cang Jing Weapon Shop would actually be willing to ransom her. If I said this woman had nothing to do with that old guy, I'm afraid no one would believe it."

"Indeed, someone from the Cang Jing Weapon Shop is coming soon. Let's see if we can squeeze out more profit." Lant looked at Luo Qi with excitement. "Originally, the deputy gang leader offered a reward of 300,000 yuan, and I was still worried about how to raise it. Now it's all gone. It can be regarded as compensation for the lost batch of goods. If we can get more, that will be our income."

"Boss Lante, didn't you have your eye on that A6-grade armor from the Cang Jing Weapon Shop?" The Wild Feather Tribe woman, who was also eating meat nearby, teased, "Why don't we just ask the Cang Jing Weapon Shop to make an extra set this time? That way, with the A6-grade armor, you can definitely compete for the sixth deputy gang leader position this year, and everyone else can benefit from it too."

"A set of A6-level protective gear?" Lant swallowed his saliva after hearing this, and his eyes looked at Luo Qi even more passionately.

Now his physical fitness is only that of an intermediate apprentice, with a strength of more than 400 kilograms and a speed of 15 meters per second.

With a set of A4-level protective gear, he can barely fight against senior apprentices without protective gear, but if he can have A6-level protective gear worth more than , he can definitely be on par with those senior apprentices.

It is entirely feasible to compete for the sixth deputy gang leader position created by the gang leader this year.

The Baiyu Gang prioritizes strength over all else. The higher the status, the more benefits one can obtain. The blood-essence rice and beast meat that only captains like them can eat are nothing to the deputy gang leader.

The deputy leader of the Baiyu Gang can eat monster meat from time to time, and occasionally get martial arts guidance from the gang leader. He can lead two hundred people under him. He is not comparable to the leader of a planting base who can only lead fifty people.

Luo Qi, who was tied up, was disheartened by this.

Although she didn't know why the Cang Jing Weapon Shop would use 300,000 bits to redeem her, for an ordinary employee like her, 300,000 bits would be enough to drain her entire wallet and she wouldn't be able to pay it back.

"Boss, someone is coming outside and says he's here to redeem someone." An ordinary member of the Baiyu Gang suddenly ran in and reported.

"Finally, I'm here. I've been supporting this woman for so many days in vain. I must make the Cang Jing Weapon Shop bleed." Lant stood up suddenly and glanced at the man with triangular eyes next to him. "Bring the others and come with me to take a look."

Then the other four captains of the Baiyu Gang present laughed and followed with Luo Qi.

Outside the Baiyu Gang’s planting base.

Lant, accompanied by a group of his men, strode out of the base surrounded by barbed wire. They saw a large tricycle parked at the gate of the base. There were three people in total, all of them were less than two meters tall. It seemed that the three of them had not even reached junior high school, and their faces immediately became gloomy.

"Is there no one in the Cangjing Weapon Shop? Why did they let you little guys come here?" Lant looked at Lin Qi angrily and growled.

I originally thought that Luo Qi was the illegitimate daughter of the old store owner and must be highly valued.

But now we have called in three second-class disabled people, what benefits can we get from this?
When Luo Qi, who was tied up at the back, saw the three people, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it was true.

Luo Qi thought of many people who might come with money to redeem her, but she never thought it would be Lin Qi.

"We're only here to redeem the person, we don't care about anything else." Lin Qi said calmly, "We'll hand over the person and the money. You'd better not mess around. If your reputation gets out, your White Feather Gang won't be able to survive in the City of Light anymore."

Lin Qi knew too well about these vagrants from the City of Light who were wandering around in the wild. They would squeeze out even the most useless thing, so whenever he saw any opportunity to squeeze out some money from them, he would definitely not let it go.

"Since our Baiyu Gang offered a ransom of 300,000, it must be 300,000." Lant glanced impatiently at the man with triangular eyes beside him, "Maiti, let him go."

"Yes." The giant man with triangular eyes nodded and untied Luo Qi.

In the wilderness of the City of Chasing Light, outside the planting base of their Baiyu Gang, they were not worried that Lin Qi and others would take people in without paying. After all, no matter how you looked at it, the three of them were already at the level of quasi-apprentices, and they could not outrun them, the apprentices.

Lin Qi looked at Luo Qi approaching and gestured to Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei to hand over the metal box containing 300,000 bits from the car to the Baiyu Gang. "Exciting! This is so exciting! It's worthy of being a team dungeon, with so many people!"

"Why can't the Master choose me to go with you?"

Twenty-eight players including Ragnarok who were hiding in the dead woods looked at Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei who were two hundred meters away, and each of them was filled with indescribable envy.

The first priority of this eradication mission is to rescue people, and the second is to kill all the members of the Baiyu Gang.

According to previous observations, there are quite a few people in the Baiyu Gang's planting base, probably more than forty people. In order to prevent these people from escaping, the best time to take action is when they are redeeming people, because this is the time when the most people are gathered.

So a plan to wipe out the monsters was made. Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei would first lure the monsters over, causing them to gather due to the commotion. Once the monsters were almost gathered, it was time for the others to take action.

Unfortunately, attracting monsters requires very high strength and skills, and not many people can go, so in the end only Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei were chosen.

For a moment, all the players hiding in the dead woods stared at Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei, waiting for the signal to take action.

Outside the Baiyu Gang's planting base.

As Luo Qi walked to Lin Qi's side, Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei also carried metal boxes and walked towards Lant and his five companions step by step.

Thirty meters...

Twenty meters...

ten meters...

When Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei were less than five meters away from Lant and his five men, they suddenly attacked.

Luo Wushang pulled out a pitch-black steel arrow from the side of the metal box, and Zhang Qingwei also pulled out a black steel arrow, and swung them at Lant and the giant man with three eyes respectively.

"Dare to do it!"

"court death!"

Lant and others looked at the attacking Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei. They were furious at first, and then they were stunned when they saw the weapons they were holding.

Arrow?

What do they want to do?
The members of the Baiyu Gang in the back were also stunned for a moment.

They had seen many fierce people in the wild, but they had never seen such a fierce and arrogant woman. She rushed forward with only an arrow in her hand, and she didn't even know how to write the word death.

But before everyone could recover from their surprise and astonishment, they saw the black steel arrow in Luo Wushang's hand turned into six black rays, and the black steel arrow in Zhang Qingwei's hand turned into three black shadows, heading straight for Lant and Triangle Eyes.

Quasi-warrior-level martial arts star-pointing!

Quasi-warrior-level martial arts skill, the Wave Blade!

Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei were so fast that even Lant and the giant man with triangular eyes, whose physical fitness had reached that of an apprentice, could not keep up for a while, but fortunately, both of them were wearing alloy protective gear.

Six deep arrow marks appeared on Lant's chest protective gear, and he took three steps back before he could steady himself. As for the giant man with triangular eyes, his A3-level protective gear was directly dented, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily on the wire mesh beside him.

"How can it be!"

This scene shocked all the members of the Baiyu Gang present.

Two second-level disabled human women actually relied on a single arrow, one to repel the base leader and the other to severely injure the apprentice-level captain, Maiti. It was as if life was playing a joke on them.
