Chapter 379: Poisonous
Chapter 379: Poisonous
All night, the people from Dal Valley had been very anxious. They were nervous and a bit excited to be able to have their revenge against Shen Security. So they waited and waited.
They didn't put on any goggles and wrapped their faces with fabric. They wore their mask to protect themselves from any surprise gases. Then they stayed in the trees, waiting like crocodiles waiting for their prey.
The plan was supposed to be simple this time. Stay in the trees and wait for them to arrive, then target their fatal points. Break their necks, punch their throats, kill them.
Slowly, time passed by. Midnight came and the people from Dal Valley were still alert, their eyes wide and they were really to pounce on people that would approach them.
Just the small gust of wind and the low rustling of leaves would make them tense. They needed to be alert at all times!
Soon enough, it was already one in the morning. They had been in the same place all night. Some of them have to stop themselves from going down and would just urinate from the tree, some even dared to hold it in, scared that the sound would alert their enemies.
The waiting game wasn't simple at all.
It was already two in the morning when some of them decided that maybe maybe the Shen Security isn't planning to attack Long Company tonight? Maybe they wanted to study Long Company first? However, they still stayed in the trees.
What if they decided to come?
None of the people from Dal Valley lowered their guards. Some of them have injuries and bruises and some of them were in pain. But none of them lowered their guards. For the people from Dal Valley, revenge is more important than any pain.
At three in the morning, some of them were starting to feel the effects of not having enough sleep. In the past three days, they were lucky if they could sleep for two hours every day. They prided themselves on being robust and strong but not having enough rest in the past three days coupled with their injury is already showing its effects.
Even robots would suffer some problems if they run out of energy!
At three-thirty, some of them were already starting to close their eyes. It was inevitable. They were already tired and it was cold. The silence was making them want to just sleep and recover. It has been hours since they waited and they still didn't see any signs of the Shen Security's people.
Maybe they were wrong.
Maybe Shen Security is too clever to attack the Long Company just after they attacked Dal Valley.
One of them let out a long sigh before he crossed his arm across his chest. He couldn't stop himself, his eyes seemed to close on their own accord. Because of this, he grabbed a rope from his waist and used it to tie himself against the tree. This would keep him safe in case he would actually fall asleep.
He eyed his watched and discovered that it was almost four in the morning. Two more hours and it would six in the morning. At that time, they won't be allowed to attack anyone anymore.
With this in mind, the man decided to persevere and hoped that he won't fall asleep until six. Sadly, his eyes were starting to become heavier and heavier.
Meanwhile, Leo from Long Company was also waiting for some action. He was using a thermal scanner to check the location of the people from Dal Valley and discovered that they were still sitting unmoving on their trees.
"It seems that the Shen Security isn't planning to attack us tonight?" One of his people asked.
"Probably. It was really easy to predict that the Dal Valley's people would try to ambush them. So maybe they got scared." Someone answered. "I have seen the people from Shen Security. They were even smaller than us. Lean and small. They have a lot of women too. I mean we have women in our team but they weren't allowed to join this competition because they were obviously weaker than men."
"I heard that Shen Security just started training months ago. Those people didn't have a good foundation and were just kids who grew up in the streets. Some of them didn't even have the mandatory military service yet."
"Unfortunate, isn't it?"
Leo sighed as he listened to the conversation. "Dal Valley underestimated them. Look at them now? Shen Security is not simple. You are too arrogant."
"Boss, stop being too uptight, ah. We are just discussing them."
Leo looked at the person who spoke. "If you have the time to talk about this, then you better check Unorthodox Army It's a part of Dragon's Secret Teachings. Those people are following all the principles in that teachings. I am wondering if they studied all the teachings in warfare."
Leo checked the thermal scanner again, then he frowned. The people of Dal Valley were still sitting, but some of them have their heads tilted as if they were sleeping. Of course, he couldn't blame them if they would really sleep. "Wear your masks." He ordered. He is having a bad feeling about this.
"Why? What about the Dal Valley's people? Are they "
"Just listen to me to wear your masks!" He squinted at the trees surrounding the tower. He thought he spotted some movements earlier. However, he couldn't identify it. "Stay alert! I think they did something to the people from Dal Valley! They might be starting their attack now!"
Someone immediately warned the people downstairs to brace for an attack.
"I believe they would still use that smoke bomb to attack us! We should be careful. Wear a normal goggle, just in case!"
"Boss! Someone wait Those are people are running towards our tower!"
"Wait why there's more than ten of them?"
"Boss! They wanted to breach the door!"
"Don't be scared! Their martial arts are not good!" Someone from the back said. "They won't do a frontal assault."
*CLING!*
Everyone froze when they saw something hit the floor.
"GAS!"
It was indeed another gaseous attack. However, this one doesn't look like the modified smoke bomb that the Dal Valley's people created. This time, the smoke is green. It looked poisonous and"F*ck! They are trying to kill us! The gas is poisonous!"
"Calm down! Calm down! Don't panic!" Everyone is already wearing their masks. The gas is not going to affect them at all! Or so they thought.
