The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 141 - Fighting over Water Resources
Southeast Campground, one of the protected areas of the Night Protector. Surrounded by pine forests and directly adjacent to the headquarters of the Central Military Faction. Children, women and the elderly live in peace there, the men are busy fighting and looking for food sources. None of the humans wanted to go outside. They are too desperate to find a safer refuge.
"Hope in fact is only about small possibilities." The woman with the red-striped fox mask who had clapped to Xin Chen earlier started to speak. Now they were in a small cottage made with wood. Looking ahead to where everyone is busy. The smile on his face faded.
"Because of that, I don't want to lose more of my people. They are the greatest hope I have. Hope to survive."
Some people passed by and greeted the two. The woman looked at Xin Chen next to her, extending a hand. "Here we hide identity more often. But you can call me Yu."
"alright. Call me Chen."
Yu was speechless, seeing about three men half-running towards him, their looks did not show at all bringing good news.
"Our water source is taken!" The first sentence is uttered by the one to the very first, the other chimed in. For a moment Xin Chen could see the wounds on their bodies, clearly they had just fought and ended up being defeated by the enemy.
"The defectors at will! Nearly thirty of them were guarding the place! We have to expel them before they get more!"
Yu stood up, complicatedly filling his mind. He looked right left, thinking of his best efforts to get rid of the defector but unfortunately only met a dead end.
"I've deployed almost the entire Night Protector to the south. None left ...."
"Wine. Pimply. Pimply. Without that water, we can't stay here long. Don't tell me we have to go and find a new base, we'll lose a lot of members to break through that infected herd again." Yu muttered to himself, his mind in a mess.
"Can you help us?" Yu who had run out of hope had no other choice but Xin Chen in front of him.
"I'll form an army soon. Are you ready?" sternly once again. Xin Chen thought for a few seconds before replying.
"No need to find a member. I'm gonna go alone. You need those men to defend the base."
He pointed at Three and the others, only a few remaining could fight at the Southeast Campground. Yu hesitated a little and couldn't believe it.
"You alone?"
"Where's the location?"
The woman answered the young man's question, "I'll tell you before I leave."
He added. "Be careful with them. They have a large stockpile of firearms. Not because of illegal trade. Don't underestimate them."
"I'll be careful."
Yu pointed out the location on the map that was lying on the table, there Xin Chen looked at the entire territory of the Wei Empire. Memorizing the Defective camps and the headquarters of the Central Military Faction. There are many vulnerable areas and centers of infected herds. He had to be careful in that place
Without much ado, Xin Chen immediately went to the water source. It is located about three hundred meters from the Southeast Campground.
As the advice of the Three says, walking on the streets of the city will only lead to death. Xin Chen looked at the entire city that had been destroyed this had been changed to such an extent. Each building and house has access to each other, allowing them to walk on rooftops. Ropes, footings and places to climb speed up its journey all the way to the spring.
And sure enough, there gathered people in all black clothes and heavy weapons were on guard. They were busy laughing, celebrating their victory. Around him the Night Protector people were killed, around ten to twelve men.
As expected, their numbers increased. Xin Chen was on top of the jumping roof, making them startled.
"Huh?" One of them was confused, looking around and then laughing crisply. "Where are your friends? You alone?"
"Haha! No more power? The Southeast camp is weakening, as the Chairman said. Hey ... Hey, where's that fool, who swings a machete just can't?" The defector pulled one of his friends.
"You face that one sneak! His prize? You're just staining his shirt, hahahah."
Mocking laughter and insults continued to spew at him, Xin Chen was too deaf to hear the slack talk. While his eyes continued to study the battlefield before him.
As the man slashed at Xin Chen. They're shocked. The only ones who are divided are their own friends. While the blue-eyed young man seemed to be motionless in place, question marks and fear began to adorn their faces.
"Forward!!"
Xin Chen dashed towards the iron barrel filled with oil, kicking it behind where the Defectors were chasing and aiming at him with the Fire of Immortality arrow. Explosions exploded, five people were killed instantly. Others burned and put out the fire.
He relied on swords, the fastest way to kill them. One by one his enemies were cut off. Two people escaped with overwhelming fear. Xin Chen sneered, the explosion earlier seemed to invite the infected to this place, but it was still quite far away.
Blood splattered over the walls of the water storage area, Xin Chen stabbed his fallen opponent and was still moving.
The fight against nearly thirty people was over when the afternoon had come. The night was going down as a sign of danger, Xin Chen had to hurry back.
But just a few tens of meters away, he gasped as a cry for help sounded. His footsteps approached, three people who were on top of the stone building were distracted by him.
"Finally!"
They were silent when the blue light from those eyes looked so terrifying. Their assumption, the young man was one of the trial pieces. Such a situation no one had time to think clearly.
The black uniforms, iron armor and appearance that described them as a military explained that they were the Central Military Faction.
Xin Chen cursively recalled the warning of the Three. These people are not their side and do not interfere in their affairs.
"We need your help, our friend will die!"
Xin Chen could not choose between retreating or approaching. Someone lying on the ground seemed to be dying, he was not bitten but another disease was trying to kill him. No matter how human they are, they are innocent. Xin Chen decided to help them as best he could and went straight back to the Southeast Campground.
"What can I help you with?"
"You got anti-virus? Or drugs? Or anything?"
Xin Chen thought for a moment.
"I only have the Fire Mushroom."
The eyes of the two men opened.
"How is it possible"
"Give us one!"
Xin Chen dismissed his doubts, taking out one of them. A bright blue light came out from the mushroom. They took it, put the mushroom in his partner's mouth.
Unexpectedly, the man who had been dying earlier survived in a matter of minutes. Fire Mushrooms are really powerful. He woke up, even though his breathing was still chaotic.
"Commander, are you okay?"
"I'm fine ..." Those brownish-black eyes looked ahead, a young man was walking away at night to visit. He looked at the robe, and saw a symbol on his front robe.
"I haven't thanked him yet. I wish we could meet again."
In a hurry, two people nearby took the man to the headquarters of the Central Military Faction. His life was almost taken away, it would be catastrophic for the Central Military Faction but unexpectedly a stranger had just saved him.
"Make sure where he's from. I've never seen his face."
"Okay, Commander!"
