Fortune in Danger, an Accident

"Damn, human bombs! Marauder Prison is nothing but a bunch of lunatics."

Yu Yuan quickly analyzed the armaments and strength of the two marauder factions, preparing for possible battles in the future.

But soon, Yu Yuan realized something, and his heartbeat quickened.

All of Black Shield Police Department's remaining combat forces had moved to Waterfront Street, and Marauder Prison's attention was also focused entirely on Waterfront Street.

Even the machine gunners and snipers he feared most had all been killed.

It seemed... no one was paying attention to Golden Orchid Avenue anymore!!!

His gaze immediately fell on the corpse barely two meters away, and his heart began pounding wildly.

"Isn't this the opportunity I've been waiting for?"

The sky was already pitch-black. Only the burning vehicles in the distance provided a little flickering, dim light.

Yu Yuan no longer hesitated. He pushed open the manhole cover, quickly climbed out, rushed to the corpse in a few strides, and dragged it into the sewer.

Boom...

The battle on Waterfront Street grew even fiercer. Marauder Prison's vehicles had also moved out, blocking Black Shield Police Department's retreat and launching their final assault. They had to finish the battle and withdraw before Black Shield Police Department's reinforcements arrived.

While watching the battle, Yu Yuan crouched and crawled over to several other marauder corpses. Without bothering with anything else, he dragged them one by one into the sewer.

Then there were the guns and ammunition scattered across the ground. He threw every last piece into the sewer.

Just as Yu Yuan was about to return underground, something caught his eye.

—A backpack.

A large backpack. Yu Yuan estimated that it had a capacity of at least 60 liters, far exceeding the 30-liter capacity of the backpack he was currently using. Beside it were a blown-up car and several bodies sprawled on the ground.

"I have to take that backpack."

After two days of surviving in the wasteland, Yu Yuan deeply understood the importance of a large-capacity backpack.

Getting that backpack became Yu Yuan's only thought.

But the backpack was at least twenty meters away, nearly at the intersection. Thirty or forty meters down Waterfront Street was the battle zone between Marauder Prison's raiders and Black Shield Police Department's marauders.

"No one will be paying attention behind them right now. As long as I get back into the sewer before they spot me, even if Marauder Prison notices me afterward, they won't care. Black Shield Police Department is their enemy."

Yu Yuan rapidly assessed the situation in his mind and decided it was worth trying.

Once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. After briefly gathering strength, he raced toward the backpack along the dark shadows at the edge of the wall.

When he was only five meters from the backpack, he reached the most dangerous point.

The firelight from the burning vehicles illuminated his figure.

But he ignored it completely. He reached the backpack in a few strides, and before his left hand had even grabbed it, he had already turned around.

The instant he seized the backpack strap, he pushed off hard.

Like a black panther, Yu Yuan disappeared back into the shadows in less than two seconds.

A few seconds later, as the manhole cover closed and the inner bolts locked, Yu Yuan returned to the sewer.

His limbs were already numb, and his heart hammered violently in his chest, as if it would leap out the next second.

He swallowed reflexively and gasped for breath. Goosebumps rose all over his body, a sign of adrenaline flooding through him.

Thrilling!

It was truly too thrilling.

This thrill of snatching chestnuts from the fire was unlike anything he had ever experienced.

Lowering his head to inspect the backpack, he was delighted to discover that it was actually of excellent quality.

The supplies inside the backpack were even more surprising. Seven or eight packs of military rations were neatly stacked inside, followed by canned food and a medical kit.

They were all hard currency for wasteland survival. That medical pack in particular was invaluable. Yu Yuan now had a vehicle first-aid kit for treating external injuries, but he lacked medicine.

With these medicines, Yu Yuan's ability to withstand risks would increase considerably.

Boom... Another explosion rang out.

It was the sound of a vehicle exploding.

Yu Yuan stopped checking the backpack and began looting the bodies. He had dragged down six corpses in total. No matter what he found, he stuffed all small items into his backpack and hung larger items on Taotao Cave.

Chest rigs, body armor, tactical gloves, combat knives, face masks... Yu Yuan's hands moved quickly as he sorted them.

But perhaps because he was too anxious, his hands refused to cooperate and shook violently, as if he had Parkinson’s. They were shaking so hard they nearly left afterimages.

Smack... His left hand heavily slapped his right hand.

"Damn it! Stupid hand, stop shaking~~ Fuck, damn it!"

An extremely suppressed, furious voice burst from Yu Yuan's throat, like the low growl of an evil dragon.

But the effect was obvious. As he vented the pent-up frustration and tension in his heart, Yu Yuan quickly steadied himself.

In less than three minutes, he had stripped the corpses clean.

His backpack was half full, while the Outdoor Oxford-Cloth Hiking Pack was completely packed.

The gunfire from Waterfront Street had gradually died down after the vehicle explosion.

Only sporadic finishing shots could be heard. Black Shield Police Department's people had probably been completely wiped out by Marauder Prison.

Sure enough, engine noises started up again and quickly faded into the distance. Marauder Prison's people had left as well.

Yu Yuan slung the Oxford pack over his back and wore his backpack across his chest. He was ready to return to the Hideout.

His gains this time were already plentiful enough. He could not be greedy.

If he stayed any longer, he was highly likely to run into Black Shield Police Department's reinforcements. The risks outweighed the rewards.

But what he had not expected was that after he had walked only two meters, a beam of flashlight light suddenly flashed through the sewer from the direction of Waterfront Street. A cold gleam shot from Yu Yuan's eyes.

He quickly removed his backpacks and was already at the bend in the sewer.

The flashlight rapidly approached, and Yu Yuan could clearly hear footsteps. There was only one person.

He made his judgment at once, pressed himself against the wall, and gripped the Kukri in his hand.

"Damn it! Fuck..." An angry roar echoed through the sewer.

"Carmen, you bastard. When I get back, I'll make you pay. You deliberately sent me to my death, didn't you? Fine, fine, fine..."

"And Marauder Prison, just wait. I'll remember this grudge."

The voice drew closer and closer. Soon, it reached the bend in the sewer. The flashlight shone on Yu Yuan's face, startling him, and the pistol in his hand rose instinctively.

But Yu Yuan had the advantage of surprise. How could he possibly give him a chance? The moment the muzzle began to rise, the Kukri had already slashed across his wrist.

"Ah—"

A scream rang out, but it was quickly cut short.

The Kukri was already pressed across his throat, accompanied by Yu Yuan's icy voice.

"Make another sound, and you'll die!"
