Chapter Thirteen: The Bandits Surrender

  "Bandits in the village, listen up! You are surrounded. Everyone put down your weapons and come out to surrender, or else we will burn the village." Xia Jun held a loudspeaker on high ground, threatening and intimidating the bandits in Lujia Village.

  The houses in Lujia Village are basically all wooden, such buildings can't withstand fire anywhere.

  The bandits in the village were shocked after hearing Xia Jun's shout, they had never seen anyone speak so loudly before and couldn't understand what was going on. As soon as they heard that the village was to be burned, they all panicked.

  "The bandits in the village listened, you have half an hour to surrender..." Xia Jun continued to intimidate the bandits of Lu Jia Village.

  Before long, Xia Jun's throat became a bit dry from shouting, so he took a sip of water and called Zhang Si Gou over to continue using the loudspeaker. It was only when Zhang Si Gou used it for the second time that he understood why Xia Jun's voice was so loud.

  "Lu Haoshen, get out here, our captain said that if you don't come out within two quarters of an hour, our sharpshooter will start killing people. Unless you want to hide in the house forever, which is also useless, because we'll set the house on fire after two quarters of an hour." Zhang Si'ou continued to intimidate and threaten in dialect...

  However, the bandits in the village still did not come out to surrender, and half an hour passed quickly.

  At this time, Xia Jun looked at his watch. Since the time had arrived and they still hadn't come out, it was time to make a move. He took out the incendiary grenades he had exchanged from the trading platform from his backpack and loaded them onto the grenade launcher.

  The production cost of incendiary bombs themselves is very cheap, but aluminum thermal agents have not been discovered yet, so incendiary bombs are leading weapons, with an exchange price equivalent to tear gas bombs, also 10 points for one.

  Five incendiary shells were loaded onto the grenade launcher, Xia Jun stood on high ground, aiming at several of the largest wooden houses in Lujia Village, and after a few whooshing sounds, they all fired out.

  The incendiary bomb drew an arc in the air and fell into Lukou Village.

  Soon the Lu family village was on fire, and the thermite began to take effect. This stuff could burn through steel plates, let alone wooden houses, and the flames spread rapidly.

  The seemingly calm Lukou Village suddenly became boisterous, and the local bandits began to put out the fire.

  At this time, Lin Niwa's sniping began again. He specifically targeted the strong men in the village and shot them. The Lu family village was full of bandits, with many wives, children, and elderly people. However, killing these people seemed to have no effect at all.

  The men in the village who were putting out the fire suddenly fell down one by one, and Luojia Village was completely panicked. However, they soon discovered that the group of unidentified people outside did not kill women, children, and old people. After extinguishing the big fire, the Lu family clan began to discuss countermeasures.

  Surrender? You must be joking!

  After discussion, Lu Lao Da decided to give in a bit and sent someone to negotiate with the group outside. If they wanted money, he would give it to them.

  This group of powerful people is obviously not someone that Lu Jia Cun can afford to offend.

  Soon a slightly cultured bandit from the village came to the earth wall and shouted loudly outside: "Good men, don't shoot, let's talk it over, let's talk it over."

  After shouting, he stuck his head out and saw that no one was shooting at him. He shouted: "What gang are you from? Report your name!"

  "We are the Jianzhou Security Team. Your Lu clan has been bandits for generations, harming your own kind. Today we're here to eliminate evil and bring peace. Come out quickly and surrender, or else we'll burn down the entire village." Zhang Si Gou shouted.

  "The brave men of the security team, it's said that when doing things, one should leave a way out for future meetings. Almost all the men in our Lu family village have died, I beg you to show mercy and spare my clan a way to survive, we are willing to offer 10,000 taels of white silver."

  Xia Jun let out a sneer, he wasn't short of money, all he lacked was points. With points, would he still be afraid of not having money? He took the loudspeaker from Zhang Si's hand and shouted to the village bandits: "Don't think about negotiating any conditions, come out and surrender immediately, this commander's patience is limited."

  "So you want to wipe us out completely?"

  "How can you say that! Our team has always adhered to the principle of eliminating violence and bringing peace, after your surrender, you will receive our team's ideological remolding and labor reform, so as to make you turn over a new leaf and become a good citizen who is meaningful to society and contributes to the nation." Xia Jun at this time seemed to have transformed into an embodiment of justice, with his mouth full of clichés pouring out effortlessly...

  The negotiations broke down in Xia Jun's empty words, and the Lu family had no choice but to come up with a new strategy.

  After some discussion, Lu Haoshen decided to lead his clan to escape from the back mountain. As the saying goes, "Leave the green hills and don't worry about firewood." Lu Haoshen immediately ordered all the clan members to gather together and told his family to pack up their valuables at home. There wasn't much valuable stuff anyway, and they had already hidden away the silver and other precious items.

  Soon, Lu Lao Da organized more than 60 young and strong men from the clan to lead the way.

  A group of people carrying knives and guns climbed up the mountain, but as they approached the top, a fierce gunshot suddenly rang out from the top of the mountain. Two machine guns on the mountain suddenly opened fire, wildly sweeping the young men who came out of the village.

  Under the sudden blow, blood and flesh flew across the small mountain path.

  Soon those bandits abandoned a field of corpses and were beaten back into the village once again.

  "You're completely surrounded, Lao Da Lu! If you don't come out and surrender now, there won't be another chance!" Zhang Si Dog shouted.

  Under siege and intimidation, Lu Haoshen was helpless. After the road behind the mountain was blocked, he could only surrender. Before long, the village gate opened, and the villagers came out one after another with their heads bowed.

  "Up." Xia Jun waved his hand and Zhang Si led the charge, quickly taking control of the people inside Lujia Village. The battle was thoroughly over.

  Platform assistant program starts scoring statistics.

  "This battle, captured Lujia Village bandit leader Lu Haoshen, gained 12,000 points, captured 61 bandits, gained 12,200 points, captured 385 family members of the bandits, gained 19,250 points."

  "This battle killed 136 bandits, earning 13,600 points. Additionally, one bandit leader was killed, earning 5,000 points."

  "A total of 62,050 points were obtained."

  Xia Jun felt like a nouveau riche, suddenly getting a large number of points, and his heart was filled with great happiness.

  Lin Chenggui.

  "In."

  "Take people to search around the village and see if there are any remnants."

  "Yes." Lin Chenggui made a standard turn and shouted behind him: "First squad follow me!" Then he led the men to start searching in the village.

  "Zhang Si Gou." Xia Jun looked at this messy scene, and the aftermath of this incident had to be handled clearly.

  "What are the captain's orders?" Zhang Si ran over with a flattering expression, and Xia Jun ordered him: "Take people to escort them to clean up those corpses, cut off all the heads of those bandits and keep them, and bury other parts first."

  "Yes."

  Lin Chenggui and Zhang Sigou both took people to perform tasks, leaving only three guards beside Xia Jun. Xia Jun began to think about the next move.

  Having solved the bandits in Lujia Village, the Security Team can continue to expand. Not only is it an expansion of personnel, but also an expansion of territory.
