Interstellar Hunter 063 Ambush on the Halfway

  Wu Chang always thought of Gunge as a small-time hoodlum, but he was wrong. In terms of ruthlessness and brutality, the Gunge from Hei Ma Camp was in no way inferior to his older cousin. To know that his older cousin was a minor leader in the human trafficking group, mainly responsible for transporting 'goods', one had to have an iron heart.

  Stick Brother's younger brother twisted the traveling merchant's arm behind his back, ignoring his desperate pleas. Meanwhile, Stick Brother pulled out a dagger from his boot and walked over.

  "Damn it, today you're unlucky, running into me when I'm in a bad mood. I'll cut your tendons and leave you to rot here...". With that, the gleaming knife flashed towards the merchant's wrist.

  "Damn it, are you a beast?" Just as the knife was about to stab into the merchant's wrist, a black shadow suddenly pounced on Brother Stick's back and struck him down. The speed was so fast that he couldn't even dodge.

  Gang Ge, a lazy donkey, narrowly avoided that black light by rolling away, but the little brother in front of him wasn't so lucky. The black light smashed directly onto his shoulder blade, and it turned out to be a fist-sized stone.

  "Ah!" The little brother let out a miserable cry, covering his shoulder blade and kneeling to the ground. He must have had a comminuted fracture. And that businessman escaped control, scared out of his wits, and dove headfirst into a bush like an ostrich.

  "Who is it? Who dares to launch a sneak attack on me?" Bang Ge grasped the dagger in one hand, while picking up the nunchucks hanging from his waist with the other. At the same time, Bang Ge's four other subordinates also gathered around him, vigilantly gazing into the surrounding darkness.

  The attacker didn't wait for long, just a few seconds, and suddenly jumped out from outside, his eyes coldly staring at Brother Stick.

  "I didn't expect you to actually attack this merchant. What's wrong with you? Have you become so poor that you even want to rob him of those few scattered coins? Do you want money? Ask your old man, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll naturally give you some..."

  Gang Ge looked at the lonely figure in front of him, his face showing a hesitant and greedy expression. After more than ten seconds, Gang Ge seemed to have made up his mind and said coldly.

  "A poor merchant like you is naturally not worth my attention, but with a big shot like you standing in front of me, how can I let you go? I know you're hiding your true strength, aren't you just a three-star warrior? Unfortunately, today it's just you alone here, and what's more, we're in the middle of nowhere. Since you've come to deliver yourself to death, I'll have to take you on..."

  "Brothers, this guy has at least several hundred rainbow coins in his pouch, let's take him down and split it evenly..."

  Just as Brother Stick was shouting to let the brothers charge, a group of figures suddenly emerged from behind him and stuffed the second half of his words back in.

  Mei Lin, Lu Li, Qian Huan, Mary, and the remaining three classes of comrades, ten members of the third class actually came out from behind the tree cluster without a single one missing.

  Not only that, but each of them was holding something in their hands. Merlin's hand held the magic dagger that had just been auctioned off, while Ruri held a thick iron rod that was almost as big around as Ponggo's thigh. As for the others, at the very least they were all holding wooden rods, and the worst off among them had grabbed several heavy rocks.

  At this time, Wu Chang looked at Gun Brother's eyes as if he was looking at an idiot "Yelling? Why aren't you yelling anymore? You're just a castrated rooster, even your crowing is incomplete."

  Gangge's current expression is as colorful as it can get, in this desolate forest where ten people are fighting five, and among those five, one of them is disabled. The probability of winning under such circumstances is almost zero.

  "Haha, Wuchang brother, wasn't I just joking with you? Besides, I stopped this merchant for your own good. This swindler sold a broken dagger for 1200 gold coins, isn't that intentionally cheating people? I took the money back to return it to you, didn't I?"

  Gang brother said while putting the thing in his hand back, and also gave a slap to each of the little brothers beside him "Are you crazy? Dare to show your teeth to Wu Chang brother?"

  Wu Chang didn't expect that Gunge's change of face would be so fast, and facing the soft and weak Gunge, Wu Chang really couldn't bring himself to attack. Just then, Xiao Dao Mei leaned in close to Wu Chang's ear and whispered, "I reported to the instructor before I left, and soon the training camp will send someone over. Fighting is common among soldiers, but if someone gets killed or disabled, it'll be hard to explain..."

  Just then, a hissing sound came from outside the forest, and due to the long lack of maintenance of the training camp's land rover, this noise was even louder.

  "Damn it, not coming back to sleep at night, actually daring to sneak out of the camp, I'll punish you to run ten laps before sleeping......" The voice of Instructor Iron Fist came in.

  It wasn't until then that Stick Brother realized he was safe, and with a smile, he nodded at Wu Chang, the fierce glint in his eyes clear to anyone.

  "Let's go, we're going back to sleep." Bang Ge took his little brother and left.

  When Brother Stick walked away, Wu Chang pulled the merchant out of the bushes, only to find that the merchant had already peed his pants.

  "I don't want any money, I really don't. I have old and young at home, brothers, uncles, ancestors... please spare me, I'll give you all the money on me..."

  After finishing, the merchant took out a bag of money and desperately stuffed it into Wu Chang's hands. Wu Chang didn't care about this thousand or so gold coins at all. In fact, he had more than ten liquid silver coins hidden on him, not to mention many rainbow coins. If converted to gold coins, Wu Chang carried at least around 1.5 million on his body.

  "Hey brother, don't be afraid, I'm not here to rob you of your money, and I won't hurt you either. You should hurry back home..."

  "Don't cheat me, money that comes easily is not good money, this is life-and-death money! Even if you don't harm me, the stick brother from just now will want my life, he has connections with the underworld, that's the black society, that's human trafficking! I'm just a powerless and influence-less merchant, how can I afford to provoke them..."

  What the peddler said was true, Gunther's elder brother is indeed a member of the Xing Tang Society. In fact, Gunther can also be considered an outer member of the population group. On the Left Bank Paradise Star, the noble officers are the first force, and no one dares to provoke them. The second force is these numerous ordinary soldiers, and as for the population group, it's only the third major force.

  Gangge joined the army, but he's not stupid enough to be cannon fodder. In fact, he's a seed planted by the population group in the military. If Gangge performs well, it's very likely that he won't have to go to the front line. The population group will spend money to directly get him into the planet's defense force or become a police officer.

  In the end, Gunther's existence is just a small pawn in the population group's plan for the Wu Jian Tao. In the new recruit training camp on the Left Bank of Paradise Star, there are too many such seeds.

  The peddler has traveled far and wide, seeing too many dark sides. He knows that his wealth has already caught the attention of the Xing Tang Society, so he can't think about it anymore. To survive, he must divert the hatred, and returning the money to Wu Chang is one way to do so. Perhaps only by doing this can he and his family keep their lives safe.

  Facing the kneeling merchant, Wu Chang was at a loss for what to do. He had no idea what was going on in the merchant's mind. Just then, Mei Lin walked over and squatted down beside them, pulling out a rainbow coin from the merchant's pouch and handing it back to Wu Chang.

  "Sir, you don't need to say anything, we all understand what you mean. This one rainbow coin is enough for us to take the money and leave the rest for you to bring back home. Don't worry, you can boldly tell everyone that the money has been robbed by us, so you'll be safe..."

  The merchant seemed to be doubting his own ears, he foolishly raised his head and looked at this elegant man and the group of companions beside him. The merchant did not know whether Merlin was telling the truth or not, in his forty years of life, he had never met such a group of people.

  "Are you guys playing with me? Just like a cat playing with an old mouse..."

  Before he could finish, Fan Ruli had lost his patience. "Ahh, I'm telling you, why are you so long-winded? Since I've already told you, how come you still haven't finished? If you keep rambling on, be careful or I'll snatch the money away..."

  "Thank you, thank you, I won't waste any more words..." Before Lu Li could finish speaking, the merchant had already recovered from his fear and looked at Wu Chang's expression, knowing it wasn't a lie. However, these poor civilians were always cautious, afraid that the soldiers would change their minds, so they thanked them profusely and quickly ran away.

  Watching the peddler leave, Qian Buguang felt a bit sore "You're really generous, just chasing back one Rainbow Coin, actually leaving three or four Rainbow Coins for this guy would be enough, why leave so many?"

  "Shut up. People work hard to earn a living, running around from east to west, and today they almost lost their lives. It's not easy doing business, even if it means making some extra profit. You think dealing with the scum of this planet is that simple?"

  Everyone fell silent at the rebuke of Xiao Dao Mei, and everyone was very clear about what kind of moral character these soldiers who were scattered all over the planet had, especially those who had reluctantly chosen to be cannon fodder. With no future prospects, what bad things couldn't they do?

  Gradually, Wu Chang also felt the heavy atmosphere, he turned around and walked back to the military camp without saying a word, behind him were all the members of the third class.

  The following days returned to calm, and the unusual continued to adhere to its own schedule, with internal affairs still being tidy. For military training, what he valued most was the familiarization course of the weapon system, as well as various shooting exercises. Due to his good foundation in his previous life, he picked it up very quickly.

  After two rounds of restaurant fights, the nickname "Uncle Tuo" has gradually become well-known, and Brother Stick probably doesn't have the enthusiasm to come again after being slapped in the face twice, so life during this period is quietly boring.

  Just as Wu Chang was living a very ordinary training life, in the far north of Requiem Harbor, at the foot of the long ice dragon snow mountain, a magnificent palace complex stood here. According to official historical records, this building complex was built by the Left Bank Baron over 1,000 years ago and has always been the summer resort of the Baron's family.

  Further back, the power of the Baron's house gradually weakened, but their family legacy left a lot of wealth to the Left Bank Paradise Star. Among them is the Ice Dragon Military Academy at the foot of the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain.

  In the ancient and fragrant restaurant, a few students were scattered about, exquisite food was presented before them, beautiful female soldiers flitted about the restaurant providing service for these new stars of the empire's future military.

  Raelock, Bill, Thomas and that proud Arthur were all gathered together silently enjoying their dinner. Today's training mission had been completed and from now on it was time to rest.

  Arthur listlessly eyed the female soldiers in the cafeteria, mentally calculating which one would be best to hit on. Meanwhile, Rylock opened the holographic projector on the table and started watching Imperial News. As for Thomas, this taciturn guy simply quietly enjoyed his food in front of him, showing no interest in chatting at all.

  Just as the atmosphere was getting very dull, the Viscount of the Left Bank suddenly spoke up for his successor. "Huh, do you guys still remember that new student we met at the beach last month? The one called Mujo, has he come to our academy?"

  One sentence stunned the other two people.
