Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 29 Why Make Things Difficult for Trash Collectors?

Li Wei's disappearance lasted so long that these undead, who were determined to kill something, suffered immense torment.

The prospect of reliving the zombie transformation and forgetting everything is deadly. It makes these creatures no longer dare to play tricks, fearing that Li Wei will abandon them. As a result, Li Wei's words are now as obedient as an imperial edict.

However, Li Wei only summoned three people, not because of anything else, nor because he didn't have many tools, but because he only had one car, and he really couldn't let them wander around in this unfamiliar desert.

It would be fun if they turned them into missing persons. The most important thing is that these immortals are just as weak as we are.

Having a large number of people is useless. If you encounter a group of crazy night owls speeding on the street and you can just pull out a machine gun and send them all back, you'll be at a huge loss.

If it were a tough guy like the Silver Knight, who could fire arrows with the force of guided missiles using the Dragonbow, Levi would definitely have brought them all over, but unfortunately, that's not the case.

Of the three, besides the knight, there was also a mage, who fought against the faith that could use miracles.

The purpose is to compare firearms in this world.

Li Wei found them a target and began to teach and instruct them.

"Don't call me Lord Ashes, call me Boss instead, this thing is useful, isn't it?"

One of the men was shooting at a target with a submachine gun. Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the mage raised his gun and said excitedly.

"Of course, BOSS, this thing is much better than a magic wand!"

However, I'm just a low-level wandering mage; I can't compare to those masters.

At this moment, the knight standing to the side spoke up.

"BOSS, this thing's attack trajectory is too predictable. As long as I watch out for the enemy's gun barrel and give me an iron shield, I can win within ten meters."

Li Wei rolled his eyes. "You're still complaining? I know you're a tough guy, but who the hell is going to fight you in close combat within ten meters these days?"

When it comes to close combat, they're all just cybernetic cyborgs with no flesh on their bodies; whether you can win is a question mark.

"Don't underestimate this place. This is just ordinary civilian weaponry. More advanced ones even have... uh~ see that giant city? One big one can flatten it."

Explaining future technology to these magical bumpkins requires a bit of patience. Li Wei, who has been here for almost a year, is still only half-knowledgeable and practically illiterate. However, this world does have the absurd creature Mewtwo.

Li Wei only needs to teach them the basics. If he doesn't die before achieving his goal, he can install a brain-computer interface on them and let them learn the rest on their own.

So Li Wei clapped his hands, ignoring the regretful looks from these few talented killers who hoped he would give them a mushroom-planting demonstration, and spoke.

"There are plenty of damned people in this world, you could cut a sword in half and still not kill them all, so you all better watch out and don't cause any trouble. Once you've mastered how to change magazines, I'll take you to work."

Stripped of its advanced facade, this world is no different from the Middle Ages in its internal and external aspects. Companies are kingdoms, CEOs are kings, executives are lords, and gangs are guilds.

And it's not that civilized. Even kings would put on an act to win over the people, and the masses would believe it. But everyone knows that corporate dogs don't bother to act anymore.

Outside the Badlands, there are drug dealers, kidney harvesters, street racers, corporate crooks, night owls, robbers, and families of homeless people everywhere, each ruling their own territory, ready to shoot anyone who gets too close.

There is no basic order, and ordinary people are suffering terribly. They yearn for heroes. Don't bother asking about the ordinary people who suddenly appear in this barren land; it's unfriendly to ask.

Li Wei took a deep look at Night City in the distance and thought to himself, "Just wait, Batman will come back with a rocket launcher."

He turned around and started teaching these people how to drive. Since it was a wasteland, they could drive however they wanted.

three days later.

They drove to the vicinity of the trailer where Carl had taken Levi to work for the cleaners, parked their car, and looked at it from a distance. This was the starting point Levi had chosen.

Leading a team requires talking about money; without money, how can you arm yourself? So Li Wei decided to take over the work from these guys and contract this garbage mountain.

If these low-level sanitation workers can't handle it, they might as well just give up and go to sleep, and stop talking about development issues.

"I'll drive over in a bit, everything will proceed as planned."

Also, no magic allowed!

If this gets discovered, things will get really messy. Li Wei can't afford to go that far right now; he can't afford to risk his life.

After everyone nodded, they slowly drove over, behaving normally. Karl's car was also quite dilapidated, so it didn't arouse their suspicion.

At a distance of about ten meters, Li Wei turned the steering wheel all the way to the side, causing the car to drift so that the window was aligned with the gate.

The two people in the passenger seat and the back seat immediately leaned out and began firing wildly at the guards at the gate. Levi and Ken immediately got out of the car.

Levi pulled out his grenade launcher and began bombarding the enemy, while Ken, the knight, with his great strength, took out the grenades Levi had given him and started throwing them wildly at the enemy.

They stunned the opposing guards in one fell swoop, and then, after some of the reinforcements that popped out of their trailer were sent flying by Li Wei's RPG, they typed "GG" amidst laughter.

When they went in with their guns, they found only three people with all their parts intact, lying face down with their hands covering their heads. The rest of the living people were all missing limbs.

Thinking of their future and to prevent them from ending up on the streets, Li Wei generously sent them to find the angel sister to cast a resurrection spell.

The three guys who had already wet their pants had all their belongings confiscated and were locked up by Li Wei, who said they were still useful.

With the outside situation settled, it was time to deal with the inside. Li Wei stood in the middle, providing support with a grenade launcher, while Ken led the other two to thoroughly search all the rooms.

Ken came over to report shortly afterward.

"Boss, there are a few of those garbage collectors you mentioned hiding inside this tin shack. Do you want to take them?"

As he spoke, Ken slashed his neck.

Li Wei looked at Ken with disappointment. How could a man who planned to dominate the garbage mountain kill innocent people indiscriminately and then make them work for him? Besides, why should the garbage collectors make things difficult for each other?

"Alright, let's take everything we can carry and leave. Let's also take that unexploded car. We'll come back and do another job when this place refreshes in a few days."

Li Wei knew very well that there couldn't be just this many cleaners here; in fact, it had become an industry chain, with connections to some forces in the city.

Moreover, this time he caught them off guard. By the time their leader reacted and brought a bunch of his underlings to attack, Li Wei would have been wiped out on the spot if he dared to occupy the place and not leave.

This is the wasteland; if Levi can get an RPG, so can they.

Besides, which of the surrounding forces wouldn't covet this piece of meat? A large nomadic tribe has at least several hundred people, so there must be a reason why they haven't made a move. These scavengers must have some skills to occupy this place.

His advantage was that his underlings were fearless and professional guerrilla fighters.

We'll talk about occupying this place once we've brought our own people to get armed and treated for dermatitis.
