Bountiful Harvest, Evacuation

Yu Yuan did not stop firing the FN FAL Assault Rifle until the magazine was empty.

Yu Yuan replaced the last magazine. Both men had already fallen in pools of blood.

He had seen clearly just now that each of them had been hit by bullets more than once.

When he approached them, it was just as he had expected. One was the Flame Priest, while the other was a Flame Rider.

What he had not expected was that the Flame Priest was still alive. Even the red robe on his body showed no signs of being pierced by bullets.

If not for the wound on his neck constantly bleeding, it might not have been possible to take him down.

Yu Yuan's eyes shone frighteningly as he looked at the red robe.

This was good stuff!

"Y-you... you..."

The Flame Priest looked at Yu Yuan and pointed at him, trying to say something. Yu Yuan merely narrowed his eyes.

Bang...

The world instantly fell silent.

With all the enemies dead and time running short, Yu Yuan took off the backpack behind him, pulled out another backpack, and began looting the supplies from the seven bodies. Whatever he found, he simply tossed into the bag.

The battle here had been so intense that Carlisle Tunnel must have heard it. The Flame Riders could return at any time, so he had to hurry.

System notifications sounded during the process. Yu Yuan knew he had found some good things, but he had no time to check them.

After stripping the seven men clean, he removed every piece of equipment from the Flame Priest. From the others, he only collected ammunition and selected several weapons in the best condition.

Only then did he head to the Apocalypse Pickups parked nearby. The pickups had been specially modified and had plenty of cargo space.

They were called pickups, but they looked more like trucks.

First was an entire truckload of fuel: twenty neatly stacked steel fuel drums, each with a capacity of 100 liters.

Yu Yuan did not hesitate and listed them all on Taotao Cave.

After that, he went to the pickup carrying survival supplies.

He unzipped the bags and inspected them one by one, searching for supplies he needed.

Two large bags of canned food, containing all kinds of varieties—nearly a hundred cans in total.

One bag of assorted food, including sausages, biscuits, and military rations.

One bag of dried seafood, with dried fish and shrimp.

One bag of smoked jerky from some unknown creature.

One bag of assorted mechanical parts.

The rest was a crate of homemade explosives, around twenty-odd bundles.

Seeing so many supplies, Yu Yuan got moving.

He scooped up the supplies and ran toward the manhole cover. A few hundred meters meant nothing to him.

In just a few minutes, he had thrown all the supplies into the sewer. He listed all the explosives on Taotao Cave instead; carrying that stuff on him was simply too dangerous.

He then cleaned out the driver's cabins before finally preparing to leave.

Before leaving, however, Yu Yuan noticed the person bound inside the cage. The other person looked calmly back at him, neither begging nor struggling.

Even while Yu Yuan had been moving supplies earlier, the person had not made a single sound.

Yu Yuan frowned slightly, his finger resting on the trigger as he raised the muzzle.

But when he looked into those quiet eyes, then glanced at the Flame Priest in the distance, a new thought flashed through his mind.

Bang! Bang...

The cage's chains shattered. Meeting the other person's astonished gaze, Yu Yuan gave a slight nod and quickly left.

He could already faintly hear the roar of motorcycle engines. If he did not run now, it would truly be too late. The sounds of fighting among the distant forces had also gradually ceased at some point.

He quickly slipped into the sewer, locked the manhole cover shut, and canceled Miemie's equipped state.

Miemie appeared in front of Yu Yuan. He had already picked up a rope and swiftly tied the six backpacks together, then patted Miemie's head.

"Be good. Use your horns to lift these."

Miemie's massive horns hooked the rope. Yu Yuan dragged from below as the six bags were slowly lifted, then moved onto Miemie's back.

Yu Yuan reinforced the bags with the rope a second time before finally letting out a breath. Outside, the roar of motorcycles could already be heard.

"Time to go!"

He raised his head once more and looked at the manhole cover above.

A faint smile tugged at Yu Yuan's lips as he led Miemie toward the Hideout.

Splow Park's forested area.

Gaina knelt on the ground and used his hand to close the Flame Priest's eyes. The anger in his heart could no longer be restrained.

"Still no trace of the enemy?"

"Boss, it's strange. Logically speaking, since all our fuel and supplies vanished, the enemy must have come by vehicle, and there could not have been only a few of them. But we found no tire tracks at all, nor any signs that a large group had appeared. This completely defies common sense."

Gaina frowned upon hearing that.

"No tire tracks or traces? How is that possible?!"

But after personally making a round of the area and indeed finding no other tire tracks, he was completely dumbfounded.

He quickly realized, however, that the other supplies and fuel were secondary. The missing donor was the truly troublesome issue.

The reason their leader had brought out so much fuel and so many supplies this time was to trade for that donor. Yet now, the fuel, supplies, and donor had all vanished.

And the only ones who knew about this place were Marauder Prison...

"Wait..." Gaina seemed to understand something.

Marauder Prison had arranged for the supplies to be placed here, and they had requested that the Flame Riders help ambush the Black Shield Police Department. That was why the defenses here had been left so weak...

And now the supplies were gone, the donor was gone, while those two enforcers from the Black Shield Police Department had escaped right under Marauder Prison's nose...

A vicious glint and killing intent flashed through Gaina's eyes as he said word by word, "Good. Very good. Marauder Prison, you really are good..."

Looking at the Marauder Prison representative blown to death by a grenade at his feet, Gaina snorted coldly, snatched the AK74 from a subordinate's hands, and opened fire on the corpse, blasting it into mangled flesh.

He tossed the gun back to his subordinate, walked to the Flame Priest's body, gently picked him up, and headed for the Apocalypse Pickup.

"Everyone, return to the fortress immediately!"

His voice carried a chilling resolve to fight to the death.

Carlisle Tunnel.

Marauder Prison's people were clearing the battlefield. The corpses of Black Shield Police Department marauders lay everywhere.

A prison guard looked over the battle scene, his heart heavy.

"What? You still haven't found those two enforcers?" Barely restrained fury lingered in his voice.

"Warden Tusi, we still haven't found any trace of them..."

Bang...

Before the man could finish, Tusi kicked him flying.

"A bunch of trash. Boss Ha... Habal specifically set this trap for the Black Shield Police Department, yet the two most important fish got away..."

As he spoke, Tusi seemed to think of something and immediately turned toward another man.

"Where are the people from Burning Fortress? Why did they suddenly leave? What happened?"

The raider being stared at trembled in fear.

"W-Warden Tusi, the people sent to investigate haven't returned yet..."

Tusi was about to lose his temper when an armored vehicle suddenly came charging over at tremendous speed, drawing everyone's attention.

Screech...

The vehicle left a long skid mark and stopped in front of Tusi. A raider hurriedly jumped out and cried out in alarm:

"Something terrible happened! The Burning Fortress personnel stationed at Splow Park were killed. All the trade supplies and the donor are missing, and one Flame Priest was killed as well. Burning Fortress seems to suspect us. After killing the five brothers we sent to ask about it, they left..."

"What?!"

Cold sweat instantly soaked Tusi's entire body. He realized there was serious trouble.

He immediately roared, "Everyone, return to the prison at once! Now!"
