Chapter Ten: Slaughter in Slumber

  This is the first attack operation of Qin Tian and others in this era, because all parties have verified that the heinous crimes committed by the Black Wolf Fort are unforgivable. Since there were only nine people on Qin Tian's side, including four new recruits, this was carried out in the form of assassination. They had already made a plan to quietly eliminate dozens of bandits in the Black Wolf Fort.

  Chu Fei and his group were indeed top-notch martial artists, but they had never seen anyone infiltrate like a ghost. They didn't even need to speak to each other, just a few simple hand gestures could convey their intentions. Although it was a dark and windy night, the tacit understanding between the five of them made Chu Fei and his four companions feel envious.

  Qin Tian gently tore the window paper and saw that inside, two naked men were abusing a young woman whose hands were tied up. Qin Tian's eyes blazed with anger as soon as he saw this. Bai Xue also wanted to take a peek, but was stopped by Qin Tian, this scene is not suitable for minors, especially since Bai Xue is still a girl.

  Qin Tian made a gesture to let Bai Xue wait in place, and Bai Xue nodded understandingly and squatted down. Qin Tian took out his dagger and gently pushed the door, finding that it was not locked. He thought that since the two men were on their own turf, there was no need to lock the door.

  Qin Tian pushed the door open gently, staring at the people on the bed, because he didn't know who was in the next room, so all actions had to be carried out silently. The attention of the two men was focused on the girl under them, Qin Tian jumped up and quickly killed the bandit who was moving with a thrusting motion, then swiftly cut off the bandit's neck who was ravaging the woman's chest.

  Blood splattered on the girl's body, she shuddered and weakly opened her eyes to see a strangely dressed man tying her up with rope. She also saw a pretty girl standing at the door, covering her mouth in shock.

  Tan Tian suddenly became aware of Bai Xue's arrival, and hastily kicked the two naked male corpses to one side. He then turned his back and whispered to the woman: "Put on your clothes yourself, stay in this room first. Whatever you do, don't run around wildly, I'm here to save you." Then he said to Bai Xue: "Keep an eye on this young lady."

  At this time, Quan Tian also discovered that the woman's age was similar to Bai Xue's, still a young girl, and seemed to have been kidnapped by bandits. Poor girl, Quan Tian sighed and arrived at the window of the middle house, hearing snoring sounds inside, he gently pushed the door open, and indeed, the door was not bolted. Quan Tian tiptoed in and turned on his flashlight, but instead of shining it directly on the bed, he shone it on the wall, using the residual light to see clearly that there were three people lying on the bed, two women and one man. They were all covered with quilts and sleeping soundly.

  Tan Tian showed no mercy, and with a swift motion, he snapped the man's neck. He then glanced at the two women, who were still fast asleep, before exiting the room to enter the one on the right. The snores in this room came from several people, indicating that there were more bandits here.

  Qin Tian gently pushed open the door and found six men lying on a kang. In less than a minute, Qin Tian ruthlessly took care of them all. Then he looked around and, finding no other bandits, returned to the middle room, woke up the two women, covered their mouths and said: "You're not allowed to shout, I'm not a bad person, if you listen to me, I won't kill you, did you hear?"

  Two girls nodded vigorously, and Tan Tian first looked at the fingers of these two girls and found that they had not practiced martial arts or shooting.

  "Are you being kidnapped?"

  Two girls nodded vigorously. Tan Tian continued to ask: "Is this person the biggest bandit here?"

  Two girls nodded.

  "Alright, you two put on your clothes and wait in the room, don't run around. Did you hear me?" Qin Tian shone his flashlight at them, but the two girls couldn't see him.

  Qin Tian returned to the room on the left, and Bai Xue covered her face, still thinking about the embarrassing scene just now. The girl was already dressed and saw Qin Tian coming in, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Thank you, benefactor, for avenging me and relieving my hatred. My parents and brother were all killed by these bandits. Later, they took me to the mountain..."

  Tan Tian covered her mouth and listened carefully outside, making sure there was no movement before speaking: "Alright, it's all over. They deserved to die for their crimes. When were you kidnapped?"

  "The day before yesterday, yesterday they seemed to have something and didn't come back, I was trapped here by them until after dinner when these two bastards finally came." It turned out that this girl had been messed around by these two bastards for so long.

  "What do you plan to do from now on?"

  "I've lost my home already, if you're willing to accept me, I'll serve you like a cow or horse to repay your kindness."

  "This isn't necessary, if you want to stay from now on I'll be your older brother." Qin Tian was a person who cherished and pitied the tender and delicate, he really couldn't bear to see a girl suffer such a great sin. Almost in an instant her family was destroyed and she became an orphan.

  "Thank you, benefactor!" The girl said as she kowtowed to Qin Tian. Qin Tian immediately helped her up and said: "From now on, you are my sister. Don't do this again. Go take a bath and forget what happened earlier. It's hard, but I hope you can start a new life. This is Bai Xue, little sister. What's your name? How old are you?"

  "My name is Fang Cui Lian, I am sixteen years old."

  Qin Tian thought to himself that the names of people in this generation are quite rustic. The previous female comrade was named Lin Shufen, and this one is named Fang Cuilian. However, the names given by the Taoist priest have a good artistic conception - Zi Xun, Bai Xue.

  Bai Xue came over at this time and pulled Cui Lian's hand, asking: "Is it very painful?"

  This sentence directly asked Tian to run away, and Cui Lian almost fainted.

  "Xue continued to ask: 'I saw that you left a lot of blood, you stay here and rest, I'll go take a look at where the kitchen is and boil some hot water for you.'"

  Bai Xue and the others understood that it was a test of their skills, as the Taoist had been teaching them separately along with Zi Xun, Chu Fei, and Yue Hong. It wasn't until the Taoist's deathbed that he called them together, asking them to take an oath as sworn siblings of different sexes, and also making them promise not to marry each other. Although the four didn't understand why the Taoist did this, they still followed his wishes.

  Bai Xue didn't quite understand the ways of men and women, but she roughly knew that the girl in front of her had been bullied by two stinky men. Moreover, they had taken away the most precious thing a woman could have. So she stayed to take care of Fang Cui Lian.

  Tan Tian turned around in a circle, didn't find anything, and then returned to the gathering hall. At this time, Gong Ziqi brought Zi Xun, Wang Xinting brought Chu Fei, and Fu Yulong brought Yue Hong all arrived at the gathering hall. They had solved all the bandits, a total of seventy-six bandits. In addition, they also found a black room similar to a prison cell, where some girls were locked up. They were all kidnapped by these bandits. However, after asking clearly, it was found that their parents and other relatives were all killed by the bandits, so that no one would come looking for them.

  "Damn it, you're a despicable villain! Gather all these girls together, have you found any valuables?" Qin Tian asked.

  "No, I've searched everywhere here and didn't find any other rooms or basements," Fu Yulong said.

  "There must be a secret room, let's all look for it." Qin Tian carefully examined the gathering hall and found that there was a large gap under the main seat. He pushed hard and found that the platform under the main seat was movable.

  Qin Tian and Wang Xinting came over to help push open the stone platform, revealing a hidden entrance. Qin Tian shone his flashlight down into it, illuminating an underground room. Inside, seven large trunks were arranged haphazardly. As they made their way downstairs and opened the trunks, they were shocked by what they saw: stacks of foreign currency and gold bars, as well as various precious jewels and jade artifacts. Furthermore, two of the trunks contained brand-new domestically-produced pistols - 50 in one trunk, for a total of 100 handguns. Another trunk was filled to the brim with bullets.

  "Wow! This business is really suitable, not only can it benefit the people, but also make a fortune. Such things must be done more often in the future! Is that right, Master Xinting?! Qin Tian was extremely delighted, having previously obtained over 1,000 long guns, and now getting so many rifles, although they weren't German Mausers, these were still better than fire lances and big knives."

  "When will we make a name for ourselves?" Wang Xinting asked with a serious expression.

  "Haha, you've got the money and guns now, start training! And also, recruit more people!" Qin Tian and Wang Xinting returned to the gathering hall, at this time Gong Ziqi, Fu Yulong, Chu Fei, Yue Hong, Zi Xun, Bai Xue, Zhang Jia were all present.

  "How is it?" Zhang Jia asked.

  "Alright, from now on I'll be the big boss. You all line up according to your age, and if these girls are willing to stay, each of you can choose two." Qin Tian stopped talking at this point on purpose.

  Bai Xue listened and unhappily shouted: "Qin Tian big brother, what are you talking about?"

  Tan Tian originally wanted to play a joke on his teammates, but unexpectedly provoked Xiao Baixue. Remembering that Baixue had seen something she shouldn't have earlier, he quickly continued: "You two are in charge of training them. I want them to be able to hit the target from 100 paces within a year and a half, and they must also pass the test of hand-to-hand combat. Did everyone hear that clearly?"

  Bai Xue listened to Qin Tian finish speaking before running over and gently hitting his back twice, smiling coyly: "Qin Tian gege is doing it on purpose, how annoying!"

  "Haha, our little Bai Xue is quite an impatient one. I just wanted to take a sip of water and didn't expect to make you angry. Sorry about that. By the way, how's Cui Lian doing?"

  "I've already prepared her bath water, let her be for a while."

  "Alright, go and call those girls over, I'll ask them what they mean." Qin Tian actually hoped they would stay behind and form an all-female special forces team later on, but their training had to be ruthless if they were to make it.
