Chapter 215: Blood Insect Camp_3
"You want me to join forces with Master Guan of Guanling Mountain?"
Jiang Long's gaze suddenly became dangerous, "You're planning to plunder more Blood citizens, aren't you."
Zhou Yingcang's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't deny it, "Yes, I've heard that the official encampment has a large population. If we take them down, wouldn't it be enough to sustain however many Blood citizens we want? Once the Blood Curse Insect is pleased, we will all become stronger. Boss, I too want to reach Third Order. Don't you want to advance a step further?"
"Humph, you've got the guts to say that."
Jiang Long let out a cold snort but didn't scold Zhou Yingcang.
Although everyone addresses him as big brother, Jiang Long only believes in his own strength and doesn't trust these people who also crawled out from the same hole.
How many good people can there be in a prison mix?
It's nothing more than forming a group for warmth.
However, what Zhou Yingcang said wasn't wrong. The more Blood citizens they raised, the more blood they would get, and then they could offer it to the Blood Curse Insect. That way, they would gain even more strength.
His thoughts becoming active, Jiang Long nevertheless maintained a calm expression: "Go gather the men, we're heading to Yunji Village tonight to find Master Guan."
Zhou Yingcang's face showed delight, "Boss, I'm on it."
...
With Jiang Long's permission, the personnel movement at the transit center became much faster.
First, the warriors from among the Blood Insects in the camp, including four captains of Second Order, all mobilized, with around 300 First Order warriors under their command.
One by one, the hunters Xin Xuehao had sent out to notify also returned.
Excluding the useless ones, Miao Wei, and He Zheng, there were five Second Order captains who returned, accompanied by more than 100 warriors.
There were essentially three kinds of people in the camp.
Blood Insect warriors, Contractors who had been strengthened by the blood of Blood Insects.
Reserve Blood Insect warriors, those who had shed their identity as Blood citizens who supplied blood to nourish the Blood Insects and wholeheartedly followed the Blood Insect Camp, just without enhancement for the time being.
Some of the people Miao Wei and He Zheng had taken out were like this, of course, along with a few who were qualified to receive a Blood Insect but were too cowardly to do so.
They had just broken through recently and wanted to gather more manpower, which is why they had no one under their command yet.
The camp was neither large nor small, and inside, everyone spoke for themselves, at most obeying Jiang Long's orders.
Zhou Yingcang also had a team under his command, and since his strength was second only to Jiang Long, he was considered the deputy and had significant authority.
"Brother Cang, everyone's assembled, anything you want to say?"
From among the crowd, someone couldn't contain their curiosity and spoke up.
"Quit the stupid questions. If we do well on this job, we'll have plenty of Blood citizens, and as many Enhanced Blood Insects as we want."
Zhou Yingcang swept his gaze over the people, directly tempting them with benefits, which, apart from power, were what worked best for this bunch.
"Where did so many people come from? Did you find a large base?"
Someone pondered the origins of the population. Normally unless a large settlement was found, it wasn't possible to have a large influx of people into the camp, being used as Blood citizens for breeding.
That they had so many slave-like Blood citizens, exploiting them and making them offer up blood like livestock, was because they had been conquering other camps in large numbers since entering the city.
"Quiet."
However, at that moment, Jiang Long strode forward, his gaze sweeping over the crowd's expressions as he said, "We're going to pull off a big one, but not tonight. Pack your things, bring your Blood Insects, and follow me to Yunji Village."
Yunji Village was a large urban village in the northern district of the city, with complicated terrain and a dense population. It featured low bungalows, tiles houses, as well as several buildings around three to four stories high made of red brick, self-built houses. With large alleys connecting to small ones, twisting and turning, it was exceedingly intricate.
Jiang Long and Master Guan were two leaders from the prison. They joined hands inside the prison to eliminate the prison guards and stabilize their foothold. Later on, as resources within the prison became insufficient, tensions arose, and they increasingly couldn't coexist.
Each pulling together a group of their own, they broke out into the northern district of the city from the suburban prison. One chose the nearest steel transit center to establish a strong base.
The other, much more aggressive, chose the place where survivors were most likely to be found and killed their way in. The purpose was very simple: to breed more Blood citizens and more Blood Insects.
If it weren't for the fact that the Blood Curse Insect, while devouring and collecting the blood, also devoured the fear, hatred, and other mental strength as well as Spiritual Energy hidden within the blood.
Jiang Long believed Master Guan would directly slaughter humans for more blood.
The world had turned into such a ghastly mess that as long as it meant survival, Master Guan wouldn't hesitate.
As soon as Jiang Long said this, some people's expressions subtly shifted, "Boss, you're not planning on going to war with Master Guan, right? They're not easy to provoke."
"Humph, got a problem with that?"
Jiang Long's cold gaze swept over, and that person immediately realized their mistake and hastened to say, "No, I didn't mean that."
"It's not a war, but an alliance."
His words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, "Xin Xuehao and Ding Zheng stay behind to guard the camp, the rest come with me."
Everyone swiftly set off, boarding the trucks. Engines roared as they left through the camp gates and poured into the mist.
It was just the afternoon, and Jiang Long planned to make a swift decision.
Although he hadn't personally clashed with the 'official encampment,' after capturing so many people, some information was bound to leak, giving him a rough idea of the location.
It wasn't much, but it was enough.
In the present fog, they didn't have time to explore slowly, nor the ability to do so.
As long as they pushed straight through, they'd achieve their goal.
Just like Zhou Yingcang said, the officials might have Third Order present, but weren't they the same?
They had been in this northern district of the city for over a month, wiping out several camps both big and small, and no one had been a match for them.
Not to mention, this time he was joining forces with Master Guan.
With these thoughts, the convoy cut through the mist, killed any creatures that charged at them along the way, and finally approached a main road.
Disordered cars filled the street, and various roadblocks obstructed the entrance.
As they drew near, they heard a warning voice, "Stop, who goes there?" Your journey continues on empire
"Call out Master Guan!"
