Chapter 857: Scrap Factory

"The Bagu you just mentioned, be specific."

Su Xiao held the gun with one hand, and smoke rose from the barrel. He had discovered these people following him early on, and he had noticed them as soon as he entered the city. He hadn't bothered to deal with them before, but after they had been squatting on him for several hours after he slept in the hotel, he couldn't tolerate it anymore.

There were only two possibilities for this: revenge or robbery. Su Xiao leaned toward the latter.

The gun in Su Xiao's hand reached forward, and the hot suppressor pressed against the man's forehead.

Sss~

Blue smoke rose, and a burnt smell wafted over. Both arms were shot through, and the man lying on the ground twitched.

"Bagu is... a drug lord. Heard of him a long time ago. Suddenly appeared in the small town a while ago, sweeping away other factions. His... subordinates are very strong, killing without blinking. So he quickly ruled the small city. I only know this much. Give me a quick death."

The man knew he wouldn't survive, so he just asked for a quick death.

"Where is his headquarters or lair? The scrap factory on the edge of the small city?"

"Right. Do it cleanly. You broke my cervical spine. May you die a horrible death."

It was no wonder the man was desperate for death. A stray bullet had hit his spine earlier. Su Xiao pulled the trigger, and the man lying on the ground was shot in the head.

Su Xiao searched the corpses and found several pistols and three grenades. These pistols weren't great, were used frequently, and weren't maintained carefully enough. Their performance wasn't as good as the one in Su Xiao's hand.

He kept the 9mm caliber bullets in the guns and kept two of the three grenades. The remaining one had clearly been impacted, and carrying such a grenade with him—these guys were definitely desperate outlaws.

This city was different from what Su Xiao had seen two years ago. Two years ago, this was a lawless place, but people wouldn't ambush others out of greed in the small city.

And now, such people were not uncommon in the small city. From this point, one could see that Bagu hadn't ruled here for long, and he didn't even have time to maintain order here.

Taking advantage of the night, Su Xiao drove toward the scrap factory on the edge of the small city. The small city wasn't big, and he arrived at the scrap factory very quickly.

Just as he approached the scrap factory, Su Xiao smelled a faint sour smell. A chimney stood in the scrap factory, and pale yellow smoke drifted away.

There were several guards in front of the scrap factory. These guards were all wearing gas masks, and some guards were pinching cigarettes, occasionally taking off their gas masks to take a few puffs.

Seeing these guards, Su Xiao immediately felt that these people were not normal. Obvious muscle bulges could be seen on the backs of their hands and necks, and the bulging muscles were even somewhat deformed. This was definitely not an effect obtained through training, but more like muscles catalyzed by injecting some kind of drug with severe side effects.

Su Xiao's goal was to enter the scrap factory. The location he needed to reach was there. After patrolling the surroundings, he found that there were at least dozens of guards around the scrap factory.

Not only that, there was a very high sentry tower in the scrap factory, and dozens of red lasers shot out from the sentry tower. Su Xiao recognized this thing; it was a thermal sensing alert device.

With Su Xiao's current physical fitness, the possibility of secret infiltration was not high. The guards and alerts were too strict.

Su Xiao moved closer to the scrap factory. After getting closer, he took out a grenade, pulled the safety pin, and gripped the impact lever on the grenade.

"3..."

Su Xiao counted silently for 3 seconds and threw the grenade. He set it to explode in 5 seconds.

The pitch-black grenade flew in mid-air and finally landed at the feet of five guards. The five guards were stunned and reacted, but it was too late.

Boom!

Shrapnel splashed, and three of the guards were directly beaten into sieves, while the remaining two were blown away by the shockwave.

Soil debris splashed, and compared to the fire, the smoke was thicker.

A few seconds after the explosion, an alarm sounded in the scrap factory, and a large number of guards rushed out of the scrap factory. They were wearing black combat uniforms and gas masks. At first glance, they looked like an anti-terrorism unit, but from that chaotic formation, one could see that they hadn't received systematic training.

Near the center of the explosion, three guards stood up. Two of them shook their heads, somewhat stunned by the explosion, and the remaining one was covered in wounds, with blood gushing from his chest.

Even more surprisingly, the two guards at the center of the explosion also wanted to stand up, but a few seconds later, they fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. There was no doubt that with ordinary human physical fitness, vitality absolutely wouldn't be that tenacious.

Su Xiao estimated that the stamina attributes of these guards absolutely exceeded 5 points. If it were in the past, these would be goods that could be killed in one slash, but now, this kind of guy was very difficult to deal with.

"Qiyuezhe?"

Stamina attributes exceeding ordinary people—Su Xiao immediately thought of Qiyuezhe, but he immediately dismissed this idea. Qiyuezhe wouldn't be willing to be a lackey for a certain faction, not to mention there were dozens of guards in the scrap factory.

The guards quickly gathered toward the explosion point. Soon, more than twenty guards gathered here.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao disappeared into the night. This was a good opportunity for infiltration. He needed to reach the designated location as soon as possible, and then stay there for half an hour. That designated location was inside the scrap factory.

The alarm in the scrap factory was continuous, and Su Xiao successfully infiltrated the scrap factory with the help of the chaos in the factory.

There was a very large factory building in the middle and back of the scrap factory. The factory building was dilapidated, and dim yellow light shone through the factory building.

Su Xiao squatted under the window, looking into the factory building through the glass window covered in mud.

Inside the factory building were several rows of large machines. These machines were covered in dust and hadn't been used for a long time. On the side of the factory building, several guards holding rifles stood in front of a staircase. The staircase led underground. Don't ask Su Xiao how he knew; this broken factory building only had one floor, and he didn't believe this staircase led to the roof.

Su Xiao leveled the pistol and aimed the muzzle at the head of a guard.

Pfft.

The gunshot rang out, and blood bloomed from the guard's head. The guard fell straight down.

"eneyattak (Enemy attack)."

A guard roared, looking around with eyes like a hawk while finding cover. He immediately noticed the hole in the window, which was the trace of the bullet passing through.

This guard raised the rifle in his hand and fired a burst at the low wall under the window.

Clatter, clatter...

Cement and red brick debris splashed, and after a burst of rifle fire, a jagged hole was punched in the low wall.

Rat-tat-tat-tat...

The guards on the side also began to pour firepower crazily at the low wall. In an instant, the low wall and the window were shattered, and cement blocks and glass scattered all over the floor.

"tinghu! (Cease fire)."

This guard who kept speaking English was clearly different from the other guards. He was either a retired soldier or had been a mercenary.

With a clatter, the glass on the other side of the factory building shattered, and a round black ball was thrown into the factory building.

"grenades!"

The mercenary guard lunged to the side, hiding in the gap between two abandoned machines.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out. Several guards were directly pierced by shrapnel, and several were stunned. ===== CHAPTER 858 =====
