Life Dungeon Game

"Thank you for your hard work, you're the best."

He Ao looked at his daughter, paused, smiled, and gently rubbed her head.

He knew perfectly well that his daughter was saying these things because she wanted her father's encouragement.

She used to work secretly, hiding it from her father, and she had to swallow all the grievances she suffered alone.

To avoid arousing her father's suspicion, she had to go home and do her homework every day after work to ensure her academic progress.

All of this was done to supplement the family income as much as possible while protecting the unemployed father's pitiful self-esteem.

The little girl never complained to He Ao about how hard it was to work at the convenience store.

However, He Ao, who had done similar work before, knew very well how many strange people these frontline service workers would come into contact with every day and how much suffering they would endure.

Looking at He Ao's gentle smile illuminated by the bracelet's glow, Aini pouted and didn't say anything more about not letting He Ao touch her head.

.

She was holding her suitcase.

I don't know why, even though my life doesn't seem to have changed much, it has become more turbulent.

She feels more relaxed and happier now than before.

Perhaps it's because they have someone to rely on.

At that moment, He Ao raised his wristband and dialed a familiar number.

-

The train swayed and rocked along the way, stopping and starting intermittently.

They stopped at a certain place.

Outside, the sound of howling wind and torrential rain pounding against the metal carriage could be heard.

Everything around suddenly became unusually quiet.

Immediately afterwards, the rear door of the carriage was opened with a bang.

A man in a dark, thick raincoat stood in the pouring rain. He wiped the water from his face and said, "I promised to take you two to the wilderness. The road ahead is blocked, so you'll have to get off here."

He glanced at the desolate wilderness on both sides and the muddy road beneath the car.

The heavy rain poured down on the low bushes.

"it's here?"

He calmly gazed at the man outside. "Didn't we say we were taking him to the wilderness wanderer camp?"

"You think we can just go wherever you want?"

The man spat and sneered, "Uncle, you're probably too used to living in the city to know the rules of the wilderness."

What are the rules in the wilderness?

He Ao asked with a smile.

"The rule in the wilderness is that there are no rules."

He took out a pistol and, smiling, cocked it in the downpour. "Look how beautiful the scenery is here. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be buried here? As for your beautiful daughter, I'll reluctantly raise her for you. When we get to Irons, she can fetch a good price."

Annie glanced at her father, while He Ao simply smiled at the man outside in the torrential rain and said softly,

"You seem to be very familiar with the wilderness. Do you know that you need to be extra careful when you encounter a road blockage in the wilderness?"

"Ok?"

The man's eyes widened suddenly.

boom--

The crisp sound vibrated the raindrops.

I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days, so I made an appointment to go see a doctor tomorrow. I'll update more once I'm feeling better.

Chapter 434 Attack

Beneath the crisp gunshot, the rapidly flying bullet, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, pierced through the bursting rain and instantly struck the man in the raincoat's brain.

Bright red blood splattered out, mixing with the murky rainwater.

He Ao turned his head and looked to his side.

Annie's mouth opened slightly, clearly surprised, but not terrified. After several gradual stimulations, she was no longer so afraid of killing and death.

At that moment, the truck the two were in shook.

It is clear that a driver started the vehicle.

From He Ao's perspective, the trucks behind them also started moving rapidly.

The driver of the truck behind was visibly nervous, his hands trembling uncontrollably as he gripped the steering wheel.

These convoys are usually equipped with internal radios for easy communication.

Clearly, some bad news had come through the radio.

"Stop! Stop!"

The sudden bursts of gunfire erupted like a series of firecrackers.

Dozens of off-road vehicles rushed out from all directions, cutting through the thick rain and crushing the low bushes.

The large wheels splashed mud across the ground.

These off-road vehicles skillfully blocked the convoy's retreat.

On each off-road vehicle stood four or five burly men wearing simple waterproof cloaks and holding submachine guns.

Rainwater slid down the cold gun barrel, and the truck, which had already started moving, stopped again.

"dad?"

Annie cautiously moved closer to He Ao. "Are these robbers?"

"They are wanderers in the wilderness."

He replied calmly.

City dwellers don't treat wilderness wanderers as human beings, and in return, they don't receive respect from wilderness wanderers.

City laws do not protect homeless people in the wilderness, nor can they effectively govern them.

Of course, not all wilderness wanderers disregard the city's rules. From a self-interest perspective, there are law-abiding and lawless factions among the wilderness wanderers.

Most of the time, wilderness nomad camps are orderly. They rely on order to unite, their settlements are relatively fixed, they absorb idle nomads from the surrounding area to expand their population, and they rely on trade and commerce to trade for necessities with cities.

Wilderness camps generally have close ties with cities, essentially functioning as small towns in the wilderness, and tend to adhere to city rules to some extent.

In contrast, another faction among the Wilderness Wanderers, the Wilderness Wanderer families, are mostly unruly.

They are often organizations formed by one or a few large blood-related families, with a small population and no fixed location. They make a living by hunting wild animals and trading with wilderness nomad camps.

They do not respect the city's rules and have little to do with the city's interests.

As a result, the Wilderness Wanderer family has been widely involved in smuggling and trafficking of illegal drugs.

Yes, setting up roadblocks to rob caravans was also something they often did.

As the encirclement was fully formed, the people in the convoy knew there was no way to escape, and they all stuck their heads out of the cars to look around.

"May I ask which family you are from?"

At this moment, the middle-aged team leader of the convoy, wearing a large raincoat, was holding...

An electronic loudspeaker emerged from the convoy and shouted loudly.

boom--

A bullet landed in front of the team leader.

He was so frightened that he jumped up and took a big step back.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to shout loudly at the surrounding off-road vehicles.

"We are the caravan of the Sand Wave Gang. We have cooperated with various families in the wilderness. We hope you will be lenient and let us pass. We will surely be rewarded in the future!"

All around was silent, save for the rustling of the wind and the sound of rain.

The wilderness wanderers in the off-road vehicles didn't speak, but the vehicles stopped briefly and didn't move forward.

He Ao didn't just choose the car team randomly; it belonged to the Sha Lang Gang, the largest gang in Limen City.

According to the information provided by Eve, they have deep connections with the Limen Municipal Government and Qunxing Pharmaceuticals, which is why they have been able to dominate the underground world of Limen City.

This convoy wasn't transporting any normal goods; besides a small amount of supplies, it also carried a large quantity of smuggled goods and illegal drugs.

This is also why He Ao chose this smuggling team; such smuggling teams from large local forces are generally not investigated.

Of course, the team didn't have any good intentions in bringing He Ao along.

When He Ao took out a thick wad of cash and vaguely revealed the valuable jewelry in his luggage, the convoy leader did not hesitate to give He Ao a ride without checking his belongings at all.

He Ao really likes these kinds of partners who have ulterior motives. In order to cover up their malice, they are often much more straightforward than normal partners.

Of course, in Aini's eyes, this team leader was quite kind and good-hearted.

However, the little girl probably doesn't think that way anymore.

Now, this 'kind and well-meaning' team leader no longer has time to care about He Ao.

He seemed quite pleased with what he had just said, and the wilderness wanderers stopped what they were doing, clearly still somewhat wary of the Sand Wave Gang.

Holding a megaphone, he continued shouting loudly at the silent wilderness of wanderers.

"Since you all make a living near Limen City, you should all know the reputation of our Shalang Gang. Our boss is known for his vengeance. If you have made enemies with us here today, it won't be easy for you to get along in Limen City in the future."

He frowned when he heard this.

He glanced at his daughter and said softly, "Close your eyes."

Aini was a little confused, but she still closed her eyes slightly.
