Chapter 43 Riding!

Bang! Bang! Bang—

Gunshots rang out intermittently, like the beat of a drum.

Shen Mo mounted a gun on the mule cart, scaring away the robbers who kept trying to get closer.

But the robbers, having lost both their wife and their troops, were clearly unwilling to give up so easily.

However, Shen Mo's precise shooting posed a great threat to them, making them hesitant to approach easily.

Finally, as the convoy rounded a low hill, the robbers couldn't resist any longer.

Less than two kilometers ahead is the planting area of ​​Mugu City.

The autumn harvest had just ended, so there must have been guards stationed there.

If this drags on any longer, they'll have absolutely no chance!

So the three remaining motorcyclists suddenly turned around and surrounded the scavengers.

Upon seeing this, the scavengers scattered like birds and beasts.

However, some scavengers were driven and forced by motorcyclists at gunpoint, and ended up mingling with robbers who did not own motorcycles.

Finally, they were swept along and rushed towards the convoy.

Seeing this, Shi Lan took out a helmet from her backpack and put it on.

Holding the submachine gun he had seized from the robbers, he twisted the throttle on his motorcycle and sped off.

This reckless behavior startled Shen Mo and Wei Dongming.

However, Shi Lan, who had been in the hunting party, demonstrated impressive motorcycle driving skills.

He twisted the accelerator to the floor, sped towards the crowd like lightning, raised his submachine gun, and fired a burst at the robbers and scavengers.

Amidst the clattering sounds, this rabble immediately collapsed and scattered in all directions.

Some of the robbers also fired at Shi Lan, and even hit her.

But when it struck Shi Lan, it was blocked by her enchanted armor, producing only a dull metallic clanging sound... Shi Lan didn't even flinch.

After emptying his submachine gun, Shi Lan drew his battle axe from behind his back, much to the astonishment of Shen Mo and the others.

Then, like an ancient heavily armored knight, he gripped the handlebars with one hand to maintain the motorcycle's direction and speed, and swung his battle axe with the other, charging towards the motorcyclists behind the crowd.

This audacious act not only stunned Shen Mo and the others, but also caused the robbers to completely abandon their plan to hijack the convoy and flee in panic into the distance.

Shi Lan chased after them for a while, killing two robbers, before turning back, somewhat unsatisfied.

"Awesome!"

"sharp!"

Shen Mo and Wei Dongming gave Shi Lan a thumbs up together.

"Hehe, you flatter me. It's been a long time since I rode a bike, and my skills have become a bit rusty."

Shi Lan took off her helmet and smiled, then looked at Shen Mo with a strange look in her eyes and said:

"You're the one who's truly amazing!"

Without your shots, we would have inevitably fought a battle with robbers and scavengers, and the situation would have been unpredictable.

How did you develop such excellent marksmanship?

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo smiled but offered no explanation.

Seeing this, Shi Lan didn't ask any further questions.

Shen Mo's archery skills were astonishing, surpassing most archers she had ever seen.

It's not hard to understand that someone with equally superb shooting skills would also possess such abilities.

After all, in places like shantytowns, coming into contact with guns is quite normal...

Shi Lan's skillful and daring charge completely dispelled the robbers' and scavengers' covetousness.

After the three mule carts set off again, the number of scavengers following behind decreased significantly.

Everyone knew that the rest of the journey was safe, so they relaxed a little.

Shen Mo also asked Shi Lan to teach him how to ride a motorcycle.

He unlocked an upgradeable skill when he shot scavengers from his mule cart.

【Riding Level 0 (Beginner)】

Shen Mo was somewhat envious of Shi Lan's riding skills.

Having exhausted his skill points, Shen Mo decided to try and see if his skill level could be improved under someone else's guidance...

"If you really like motorcycles, go back and buy a better one from the Demon Hunter Association."

After practicing for a while, Shi Lan pointed to the motorcycle under Shen Mo and said:

"It's best not to use the robbers' things; it might cause trouble."

"Where are the two guns?"

"Same here... When we get back, I'll use the team fund to buy you a good gun. It'd be a shame not to use a gun with your marksmanship!"

Do you have a gun license?

"Yes, you can apply for this directly after you complete the Bronze Trial."

Shen Mo nodded upon hearing this:

"What about the motorcycle and the submachine gun?"

"Same as last time!"

Shi Lan took out her phone, checked the signal strength, and then dialed a number.

"Two motorcycles, two submachine guns."

"Outside Nanmen Farm..."

"Can."

After a few words, Shi Lan hung up the phone and said to Shen Mo:

"Resolved."

I contacted the smugglers outside the city.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo felt a surge of curiosity.

He's never dealt with smugglers before...

The convoy then entered a small mountainous area and drove slowly.

It wasn't until we crossed a hill that the view suddenly opened up.

Several hundred meters away from the hill, there are large, neat fields of farmland, surrounded by a five-meter-high brick wall, inside which there is a watchtower...

The grain and livestock in the Kawada district are not enough to feed the entire Mud Valley city.

The numerous farms and ranches outside the city are also an important food source for Dusk Valley City...

At the end of the road that divides the farm lies the south gate of Dusk Valley City.

Even from several kilometers away, the steep and majestic cliffs, and the city walls atop them, evoked a sense of oppression... as well as a slight feeling of security.

At that moment, two motorcycles sped towards them on the farm road.

There were guards on duty along the way, but they pretended not to see them...

"They're here."

Upon seeing this, Shi Lan asked the convoy to stop for a moment, and together with Shen Mo, they rode their motorcycles to the other side of the hill.

A moment later, the group stopped halfway down the slope and came to Shi Lan and Shen Mo.

The leader didn't waste any words and asked Shi Lan directly, "These are them?"

"Um!"

Shi Lan nodded.

Seeing this, the man waved his hand.

Two masked men stepped forward; one inspected the guns, and the other inspected the motorcycle.

A moment later, the two returned to the man's side and whispered a few words to each other.

Shen Mo had keen hearing and realized that the two were talking about the models and quality of firearms and motorcycles so that the man could assess their prices.

A moment later, the man asked Shi Lan:

"Thirty-three thousand?"

"Can."

The man took out a stack of Alliance coins from his pocket and handed them to Shi Lan.

"Click here?"

"No need." Shi Lan took the money and put it in her pocket. "I still have that much trust in you."

"Haha, we'll head back now."

The leader laughed, waved to Shi Lan, and then led his men away on their motorcycles.

After the group left, Shi Lan took out the money again and counted it under Shen Mo's questioning gaze.

After confirming that everything was alright, Shi Lan put the money back into her pocket and said to Shen Mo:

"If it were my money, that would be one thing."

You and Wei Dongming also have a share of this money.

I naturally need to confirm... Let's go, let's hurry back to the association to hand in the mission.

I'm exhausted after a long day.

I must ask Aunt Song to give me a proper massage when I get back.

He remained silent and returned to the convoy with Shi Lan.

The three mule carts started again, slowly driving down the hillside towards the south gate of Mugu City...
