Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Zhongli, along with Hongluan and Huowu, acted swiftly and quickly reached the top of the scavengers' camp.

There were quite a few scavengers inside. They sat around the campfire in twos and threes. Some were cleaning their weapons, some were preparing breakfast, and some even had sex on the spot, ignoring the woman's fierce struggles.

Huo Wu's gaze was cold: "Manager, I can infiltrate first and assassinate silently."

Zhongli considered it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It would be best if they were all killed without them noticing. You go first, and Hongluan and I will provide fire support the moment you are exposed."

"Received." Huo Wu slammed her right fist into her chest and immediately led her Broken Rainbow into the crimson mist.

This was just a small scavenger camp, with no more than a hundred people, and most of them were around the campfire. The guard force was completely insufficient to stop Huo Wu.

Soon, Zhongli and Hongluan saw Huowu kill all the guards around the camp and sneak into the camp. She had the weapon rune "Holy Prayer", which increased the number of attacks by 1.

She can assassinate people in secret; even if two or three people are gathered together, they won't have time to resist before she kills them all.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhongli and Hongluan, Huowu quickly pierced through more than twenty scavengers with her sword, one after another.

Upon reaching the center of the camp, where dozens of scavengers had gathered, Huo Wu could no longer hide. She took out an Eagle Industries fragmentation grenade from her waist, raised her right hand, circled it three times in Zhong Li's direction, signaling that she was ready to attack together, and then threw the grenade into the middle of the scavenger crowd.

The loud explosion of the fragmentation grenade rang out simultaneously with gunfire outside the camp, instantly killing six or seven scavengers. The crowd erupted in chaos, with countless people fleeing in terror, searching for cover.

But before they could disperse, a second grenade followed, exploding once again in the crowd.

Being attacked puts them in an extremely passive position. In their haste, they have no idea where the attack came from, and they don't even know how to dodge.

A pleasant system notification tone then sounded.

[Ding! Attack a perfect success. Enemy forces' Courage -5, Accuracy -2]

Hidden in the darkness, Huo Wu patiently listened to the gunfire outside the camp, successfully attracting the attention of the scavengers.

"The enemy is outside; they are two humans!"

"They're really asking for trouble, daring to provoke us with just two people!"

"Charge! Kill the men, leave the women to be raped!"

They charged outwards in a frenzy, but Huo Wu decisively circled around and slit their throats one by one from behind.

The women, who had been ravaged by the scavengers, watched in horror, pulling their clothes tighter and quickly shrinking to the side of the campfire.

Fire Dancer slaughtered with ease, even having the leisure to put a finger to her lips as a shushing gesture to them.

The killing lasted for six or seven seconds. After Huo Wu killed eight people by herself, the scavengers finally realized that there was a grim reaper behind them!

Six or seven seconds on this tense and fierce battlefield is actually just two breaths. The scavengers' reactions are already extremely fast. Ordinary people walking at night wouldn't dare to look back even once in six or seven seconds, unable to be sure if anyone is following them.

However, Huo Wu's attacks were too fierce. In just six or seven seconds, she carried out such a brutal assassination, causing heavy losses to the scavengers.

"There's another woman behind him!"

"Help!"

[Ding! Attacked from both sides, some enemy soldiers' courage has decreased by 1]

With morale being repeatedly eroded, some scavengers finally broke down and fled.

Desperate measures in the wasteland are the worst possible strategy; survival is the most important thing.

But the wasteland has no shortage of desperados, and one of the scavengers immediately yelled, "She's so close to us! Activate your skills and focus fire to take her down!"

The next moment, Huo Wu appeared in front of him, staring at him with icy eyes, her long sword pointed at his throat. The cold blade pierced the skin of his throat, and the chill instantly seeped into his bones.

Terrified, he lost all courage to resist and hurriedly raised his hands, kneeling tremblingly on the ground: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender."

Huo Wu stared at him expressionlessly, ignoring the bullets that were being fired at her from all directions on the battlefield.

But countless bullets imbued with holy damage seemed to have eyes, shooting past her without hitting her at all!

This scene completely widened the eyes of the scavengers, shocking them to the point of shattering their worldview. Some were so frightened that their legs were trembling. What kind of skill was this? How could they be unharmed?

After a brief pause, Huo Wu decisively thrust out her longsword, piercing the explorer's throat.

[Ding! Enemy morale has collapsed. Congratulations on winning a minor battle.]

Zhong Li was overjoyed. This was definitely a considerable income. He could strengthen himself again after fighting a dozen or so more battles like this.

This was much easier than fighting the Red-Eroded Creatures; no one was injured at all from start to finish.

The biggest cost is 1 point of psionic energy and two grenades, but these can be easily recovered.

As soon as the fighting subsided, Seele immediately drove over in a vehicle and led her people to clean up the battlefield.

Huo Wu then walked up to Zhong Li and said, "Manager, there's been a discovery in the camp that we need your attention."

Following Huo Wu to a tent, Zhong Li saw the special discovery Huo Wu had mentioned: several prisoners whose hands and feet were bound and whose mouths were gagged with smelly socks.

"Fire Dance, open their mouths."

The first few people whose mouths were loosened were all normal, but when a young man's mouth was loosened, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Boss, boss, are you God Zhong?"

Zhong Li looked at the somewhat refined-looking young man with black-rimmed glasses with surprise: "God Zhong? You're a survivor?"

The young man nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, I've seen your name in the communication module. My name is Yue Qingnian, and I'm also a shelter manager."

"You're the manager of the shelter, what are you doing here?"

Yue Qingnian said with frustration, "I originally planned to take people to the Dark Merchant's stronghold for a transaction, but who knew we would encounter the Red Eclipse Monster on the way. I left two soldiers to cover us and led the others to escape in a panic. As a result, we encountered these scavengers. They stole all our belongings and captured us. Fortunately, you intervened and saved us."

Before Zhong Li could ask, Yue Qingnian asked, "Zhong Shen, may I join your shelter?"

Zhong Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're not planning to run your shelter anymore?"

Yue Qingnian quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I've realized it's far too dangerous in this wasteland. It's completely different from what I envisioned when I first came here with such high ambitions. I just want to go back to the shelter and pick up my parents to move to a safe place. My parents and I are still able to work, and your shelter probably needs manpower, right?"

Zhong Li immediately raised his opinion of this somewhat refined young man. He was able to decisively recognize reality and abandon all unrealistic fantasies, making him a talented person with both high IQ and EQ.

Since he was only going to the shelter to collect scrap, mine, and repair walls anyway, Zhong Li didn't care much and said, "Okay, my shelter needs manpower. Do you want to come with me to the Dark Merchant's base first, or go back to the shelter?"

Yue Qingnian shook his head and said, "There's no rush. I think it's more important to introduce these prisoners to you first."
