Chapter 386 I will take all the blame
Novak here.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, Mist gave LaNaza a needle to the injured spot while shouting to John and Pinkerton beside him: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
"Damn it, I've been living in peace for too long. I didn't even know there was a ghost in my house. I deserve to die..."
Just now, Mist and Rana were discussing when their leader would return and what they should do during his absence.
Unexpectedly, several people dressed as scavengers suddenly rushed out and assassinated them with homemade iron pipe guns.
Rana reacted quickly, and with a leap he helped Mist block several shots, and in the process he also completed a counterattack.
Fortunately, the weapons of these killers were very rubbish. The guns were assembled from scraps, and the bullets were made from teeth and bones. Rana was only slightly injured and still had the strength to grin.
After confirming that there were no other killers around, Mist forced himself to think calmly and quickly sorted out various information and intelligence.
Who could it be? Who is so desperate that he dares to challenge them?
Being able to find me and Rana so accurately, it must have been a long-planned plan. Was he trying to create chaos by killing people?
Oh no, they dared to attack Novak, so what is the situation in other places now?
Mist quickly used the radio to confirm the situation at each base, asking them to quickly check for suspicious persons and strengthen vigilance.
There are no problems with locations such as Qingquan Town, the former NCR Correctional Facility, and the Repcon Launch Base.
Only in Liberty City, after receiving the information from there, Mist was completely stunned.
Number Nine and a dozen Merchant Corps soldiers were all dead, killed by the four major gangs.
The Liberty City stronghold was destroyed by the four major gangs, and it is said that Silver Shock and Atomic Cowboys also helped.
The only good news is that some people in the Liberty City stronghold still survived, and Mr. Elvis saved them with his life.
Losing the stronghold is not a big deal, but the problem is that people died, and that's a big deal.
Before Yi Beiwang left, he handed over the management of the Yibei Merchant Group to him, but such a big thing happened...
Number Nine was also dead, why was he the one who died? How should he explain this to the leader?
Why did the four major gangs suddenly turn against the eBay Group? Did they want to die?
It happened so suddenly that Mist felt a little dizzy and even his eyes went dark.
Fortunately, Rana gave him a treatment injection in time, which prevented him from fainting.
After Mist recovered, he asked Rana to mobilize manpower as soon as possible, saying that there would be a tough battle to be fought next.
Then, while waiting, think about what to do next.
The fact that the four major gangs suddenly dared to turn against each other meant that they must have received enough support and were instructed by some force.
Targeting the eBay Merchants Group...it's nothing more than the eBay Merchants Group has touched upon the other party's interests, otherwise there would be no reason to support the predators in targeting them.
Mist suddenly remembered that when he was a lieutenant in NCR, he had heard that the Crimson Merchant Corps was targeting and suppressing other merchant corps everywhere.
Yes, it must be them. After all, there is no big force in Mojave that has a grudge against the eBay Merchants Group.
Damn it, why didn’t he come earlier or later, but waited until his leader and the postman left before…
Wait, isn’t this too much of a coincidence? How did they know that Yi Beiwang and the postman left?
Mist realized with horror that Novak had infiltrated the city as a traitor.
But we don't have enough time to check one by one right now. I heard from people in Liberty City that the four major gangs have mobilized their manpower and seem to be heading this way.
The most urgent thing is to act quickly, so quickly that the traitor has no time to tip off, so as to turn defeat into victory.
Thinking of this, Mist took out a map and quickly drew the next route in his mind.
At this time, Valkyrie came over alone in a wheelchair. With just one glance, she knew what had happened and roughly guessed what Mist was thinking.
"Are you going to seek revenge? I just heard that something happened in Liberty City."
"Mister, I know you're anxious now, but calm down. What if that's a trap set by the predators?"
"We have no idea what the four major gangs are going to do next. I think we should hold on to the existing strongholds and not suffer any more losses. At least we should wait until Yi Beiwang returns."
Mist was a little hesitant when he heard this. Yes, if he launched a military operation rashly, what if it caused greater losses?
Since the four major gangs dare to kill people, it means they have made sufficient preparations and even have masters guiding them behind the scenes. Do we really want to fight?
Just as he was hesitating, Lana ran in and shouted, "The manpower has been assembled. There are currently 400 people who can fight. The weapons, equipment, and power armor... are all ready."
"I just got some bad news. Several caravans that were outbound have lost contact. They must have been killed by the four major gangs."
Hearing this, Mist made up his mind instantly and said to Valkyrie: "There is no time to hesitate. Our base is gone and our friends are dead. If we don't fight this battle, the face of the Yibei Merchant Group will be gone!"
"If we don't fight, how will our subordinates view us? How will our partners view us?"
Valkyrie quickly stopped him and said, "I'm not forbidding you to fight, but we should discuss it carefully..."
It is obvious that Valkyrie's combat thinking is still stuck in two hundred years ago, and they have never even fought any quick, fierce and accurate battles.
In her opinion, when going to war, one should first discuss tactics collectively, and then think about where to allocate weapons, equipment and manpower.
But Mist, who grew up in the wasteland, knew that the plunderers were like locusts, swift and destructive.
By the time we finish discussing tactics, these marauders might be at our doorstep.
Mist bypassed her obstruction and said without turning his head: "The leader is not here, now I will be responsible for guarding the Yibei Merchant Group and I will command you!"
"Rana, you separate seven platoons (210 people) and bring the power armor that can be deployed. Together we will stop the enemy along the trade route!"
"Send three more platoons to go to other strongholds and conduct reconnaissance and alert along the way. The rest of the people will protect merchants and civilians and defend Novak."
"Also, move all the bombs and shells out of your house. Once the situation gets out of control, even if we have to blow up the trade route, we must not let the main forces of the four major gangs come over!"
"I will bear all the losses caused by my mistakes. Go and follow my orders!"
Lana nodded, quickly ran back to the team, gave instructions to everyone, and selected the attackers and defenders.
Mist looked at Valkyrie seriously and said, "I know you are from before the war. Your principles don't apply here."
"If you don't like me, you can report me to the leader anytime, but I beg you... I beg you to lead these people to defend Novak, okay?"
Valkyrie nodded. Although she had bought her rank of major general, she was also quite capable. She just needed to defend Novak and wait for Yi Beiwang to come back.
She drove away in her wheelchair to find Perturabo to discuss countermeasures together.
Mist looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Chief, please come back. Something happened at home..."
Yi Beiwang, who everyone was thinking about, was also in big trouble at this time.
