Chapter 286: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger
"Um?"
Hearing Jill's analysis, Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up. He grabbed the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced guy by the collar and pulled him up.
"How dare you lie to me!"
"Very good, I like this kind of stubbornness. I will hang you on the back of the car and drag you all the way to Baishi City. Let's see if you can still be as stubborn as you are now."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he found a piece of rope and put it around the monkey-faced creature's body.
When the monkey-faced guy saw it, his face turned green.
It took half a day to drive from their base to here, not to mention the farther Bai Shi City.
If Zhang Tuohai really did what he said and dragged him to Baishi City with a rope, he would probably be worn out before he got halfway.
"No, don't do this. I'll tell you everything." The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks immediately told him everything he knew.
"We are indeed a group of wanderers. Our leader is called Park Bu-wan. We founded an organization called the Tiger Group, which has more than 200 members. Our boss got a chance to join Bai Shi City by chance. You know, for wanderers like us, the opportunity to join a big force is so precious."
"However, this kind of powerful force will not let us join casually. If we want to join, we need to complete a series of tasks. The higher the completion rate of the tasks, the higher the status after joining. If the completion rate is too low, we may even be kicked out."
"Attacking Huangsha Town is our ninth mission. If we can raze Huangsha Town to the ground, we can even get five special team quotas and be eligible to purchase military supplies at a discount. So, we set out for Huangsha Town. Unexpectedly, we took the wrong road and ended up in Huangsha Town. We were really wronged."
The monkey-faced man cried.
"Huangsha Town is the outpost of our Red Fort. You want to attack Huangsha Town. Do you want to be the enemy of our Red Fort?"
Jill's face turned very ugly.
When the sharp-nosed monkey heard this, his face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "We really didn't know that Huangsha Town was the sphere of influence of the Red Castle. We are just a group of ignorant wanderers who were bewitched by Baishi City. If you have any problem, you should go to Baishi City."
"Where is your base?" Zhang Tuohai suddenly asked.
"In Baishi City." The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheek said immediately.
"No!" Zhang Tuohai instinctively felt something was wrong.
Judging from the map, it takes at least one day to get here from Bai Shi City. These players have been in this world for less than three days, and the people in the Tiger Group do not have gas-driven lights that can travel at night. How is it possible that they have completed nine tasks so quickly and even made a long-distance raid on Huangsha Town?
They must have another base nearby.
"How is your relationship with Bai Shicheng?"
Zhang Tuohai turned to Jill and asked.
"It's not bad. Although we don't get along well, we haven't torn each other's faces. Generally speaking, we are in a state of not interfering with each other."
"Then there must be a reason why Baishi City suddenly attacked your Huangsha Town this time."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"You must understand the reason. Otherwise, if Bai Shi City suddenly attacks one day, you may not know the reason."
"We have to ask." Jill nodded in agreement.
"By the way, now you are the deputy captain of my special team and you are also from the Red Castle. Why do you always say you are from the Red Castle, you are from the Red Castle?"
Zhang Tuohai ignored Jill's correction and turned to the sharp-nosed monkey and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me where your base is. Otherwise..."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he tied a rope to the feet of the monkey-faced man and the other end to an assault vehicle. He was just waiting for the order to start the vehicle.
"No, I said, it's the Baishan Mine!"
The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced guy is about to collapse.
"You lied to me. I know Baishan, but there is no mine on it!"
Jill snapped.
"It's really the Baishan Mine. Baishi City has discovered a new frost silver mine there. It's said to be an important strategic resource, so they secretly built a base there. The map in my hand is an old one, and there are no markings on it. The gray cross marked with charcoal on the map is where the mine base is."
The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man blurted out everything he knew.
"Frost Silver Mine, it's really Frost Silver Mine? Are you sure?" Jill was a little upset when he heard that.
"What's wrong? Is this mine valuable?"
Zhang Tuohai asked in confusion.
"It's very valuable," Jill said after taking a deep breath. "This ore is a necessary material for making high-end machines. Without it, many high-end machines cannot be mass-produced. It is a vital strategic material. The reason why our Red Castle has been able to develop to this day, in addition to the support of a large number of scholars, the most important thing is that we control a frost silver mine. If White Stone City controls the frost silver mine, after a period of development, I'm afraid it will be able to catch up."
"I see." Zhang Tuohai nodded in understanding.
"That place is hard to find. Take me with you and I'll show you the way."
The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks said loudly.
Zhang Tuohai opened the map and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, I saw a cross mark near Baishan, but the mark was very shallow and small, and if I didn't pay attention I would have thought it was a stain accidentally smeared on.
Looking at the map, Baishan is indeed not too far from Huangsha Town.
"It seems that Baishi City is afraid that the people of Huangsha Town will discover the abnormality of Baishan Mine, so they sent people to attack Huangsha Town."
Zhang Tuohai said while looking at the map.
"Then why don't they send their own troops here, instead of looking for these stragglers?" Jill asked.
"I guess they don't want to confront you head-on for the time being, fearing that they will be exposed. Let them do it. If they succeed, that's the best. If they fail, there's no loss. Even if they are discovered later, it can be said that these people acted on their own initiative, and we won't feel bad about throwing them out."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Humph, these barbarians from Baishi City are so ambitious that they actually dare to go to war with our Red Castle. I'm going to go back and tell my father to wipe out these rubbish!"
Jill said angrily.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Tuohai held Jill back, "These are his one-sided statements, they may not all be true."
"So what do you mean?"
"I think we should go to Baishan to check if the Frost Silver Mine really exists. If it does exist, it won't be too late to report it. If it's fake, reporting it rashly will affect your father's impression of you. He will think you are rash and careless, and then he will be disappointed. I don't think you want to end up like this."
"That makes sense!" The last time Jill ran away, besides because she didn't like mechanical drawing, another important reason was that Dr. Valentine always felt that she was young and impulsive, and not steady enough in doing things.
So, she ran away in anger, wanting to do something big, which was one of the reasons why she agreed to be a spy for Mobutu.
Zhang Tuohai's words hit the nail on the head.
"You are absolutely right. Let's go and investigate. I must do something big to prove my ability." Jill clenched his fists.
Seeing Jill's look, Zhang Tuohai was delighted and knew that the matter was settled.
He successfully made Jill and the Tigers become enemies. As long as Jill found the Tigers, his plan to use the power of the Red Fort to eliminate the Tigers would be almost complete!
As long as the Tiger Group is eliminated, he will still be the big profiteer stirring up trouble in the regional channel.
