Chapter 51 Quick decision
The little mutants talked to each other, telling each other all the information they knew.

According to them, the Water-Snatching Gang has been frantically collecting water purification equipment in the ruins area and seizing the water sources in the ruins area, causing considerable casualties.

They controlled nearly one-third of the water sources in the ruins area, and also swept away the easily recyclable water purification equipment.

Not long ago, they began to infiltrate the Eighth District and steal unused water purification equipment.

It has been basically confirmed that the theft of the water purification equipment from the abandoned winery was the work of the Water-Snatching Gang.

So, how did the Water-Snatching Gang know that there was water purification equipment to steal in the abandoned winery?

The little mutants couldn't give an answer, and this question became the first doubt.

Another suspicious point is that the Sheshui Gang got an antique locomotive powered by a steam boiler from somewhere.

This truck is not only a vehicle for hauling water purification equipment, but also used by them to transport purified water.

That’s right, the Sheshui Gang is selling water.

They use recycled water purification equipment to purify the water and then sell the purified water through abandoned railways.

Their clientele is not limited to residents of the ruins district, but also includes buyers from the eighth district.

Li Nuo and Wick have reason to believe that the buyer might be targeting the Healing Godfather Body hidden in the Eighth District.

"Kids, do you know when the people from the Water-Snatching Gang will pass by here again?" Li Nuo asked.

The little mutants were enjoying the mushrooms and chirping in response.

"I don't know. The last time they passed by here was nine days ago."

"I know, I know! They usually make the round trip every 6 to 9 days. Every time they pass by, their old car shakes my house apart. It's so annoying."

It takes 6 to 9 days to make a round trip, and the last time they passed by was 9 days ago. Doesn't that mean we can catch those guys today?

Li Nuo and Wick looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Li Nuo took out the remaining mushrooms in his pocket and distributed them to the little mutants as rewards.

After a while, the food in the iron bucket was finished.

The little mutants banged on the iron gate, conveying some secret signal to the inside, waved goodbye to Li Nuo and the others, and ran towards the ruins area.

The chef who had brought the food earlier heard the knock on the door and came over to take back the iron bucket.

Li Nuo and the other man were guarding the door, which frightened him so much that he almost dropped the bucket and ran away.

The main reason is that Wick’s look is too impactful, it’s almost as if the words “I am a desperado” are engraved on his forehead.

Fortunately, the two of them used laser pistols in time to stop the chef from escaping, otherwise he might have slipped back into the door.

"Brothers, please don't kill me." The chef begged for mercy tremblingly.

Wick put away his gun and put his hand on the man's shoulder. "Don't be nervous, man. We just want to ask you about the Water Absorption Gang."

After the gun was removed, the chef should have relaxed a little, but he became unusually vigilant.

His breathing rate remained high, his eyes glanced at the iron gate from time to time, and his feet rubbed restlessly, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Li Nuo came between the chef and the iron gate, stood with his arms raised, and used his strong body to block the chef's way.

The chef's face suddenly fell, and he said in a sad tone:

"I don't know about the Water Absorbing Gang, really. I've never met them."

"Oh? Really?" Wick smiled:
"Do you need to remind you what the Water Suckers do? They stole expensive water purification equipment from District 8. If someone knows about this and doesn't report it, and happens to be caught by law enforcement, what do you think will happen? This person will be convicted as an accomplice of the bandits and eventually become a hangman on the gallows. Do you like this ending, buddy?"

The chef wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"We are just buying water from the water collection gang. It's not that serious."

Wick stopped smiling and his voice turned cold:
"When is the next time they deliver water? How long will they stay here?"

The chef hesitated:

"They will be here in about half an hour. We'll load the empty barrels onto the train and take the barrels filled with purified water off. Then they'll drive the noisy steam locomotive to the next stop. Please don't make things difficult for me. It was the boss's idea to do business with the Water Intake Gang." Wick hooked his arm around the chef's shoulder. "Let's go talk to your boss."

"Squeak~~"

The iron gate closed, and the three men and the bucket disappeared inside the gate. The lights were all dimmed, and the railway returned to tranquility and darkness.

Half an hour later, a low roar came from far away.

The huge noise of the steam boiler resounded in the enclosed track space, and the poorly maintained rails whined under the heavy crushing of the steam locomotive.

“Squeak——————”

The wheels rubbed against the rails, and the steam locomotive stopped near the back door of the tavern, followed by three carriages made of various scrap iron.

Nine figures got off the front of the car.

They had automatic guns hanging on their chests, wore black leather jackets with bulletproof plastic inserts, and their exposed skin was covered with tattoos.

Eight people walked towards the first carriage and carried down three large buckets from it.

A man came to the back door of the tavern and knocked on the iron door with his brass knuckles:
"Hey! Come out to collect the goods! Hurry up!"

The observation window on the iron door was opened by the person behind the door.

A pair of eyes popped out, quickly looked at the gang members equipped with automatic guns, and slowly pushed open the iron gate.

The gang members made way and waved impatiently:
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't waste time! We are very busy today!"

"piu~"

The red laser shot through the crack in the door and hit the gang member standing at the door, piercing his temple and leaving a round hole that smelled like burnt food.

The sudden laser stunned the other eight people. It took them two full seconds to realize that they were under attack.

It was these two seconds that cost most of their lives.

Wick rushed out of the door like a wild beast, picked up the corpse at the door and used it to block in front of him, while his other hand continuously pulled the trigger of his pocket laser pistol.

"piu~piu~"

Two beams of light accurately shot through the foreheads of two gang members.

The third gang member was about to fire back when he saw a man rushing out of the door with a gun in his right hand and his left hand raised.

The man simply waved his left hand through the air, and the surviving gang members' eyes lost focus, and they stood there in a daze, becoming lambs to be slaughtered.

Wick pulled the trigger again, rapidly shooting the gang members.

He threw away the corpse he was using as a shield, pounced into the air, pinned the last man under him, and raised his hand knife to smash the opponent's carotid sinus.

"Bang!" With a dull thud, the gang member fell unconscious.

Wick stood up and quickly searched the inside and outside of the carriage. After confirming that there were no new enemies, he came to Li Nuo with a look of surprise in his eyes:

"Your abilities are truly amazing. No wonder the Governor took a liking to you."

Li Nuo smiled and said, "No, no, your skills and marksmanship are much better than mine."

This is what Li Nuo really thinks.

He just wanted to control all nine enemies, but he never expected that Wick crushed them with just one move.

It seems that Wick was not bragging before, and he is indeed capable of dealing with criminals equipped with thermal weapons.

The two of them closed the back door of the pub and cleaned up the scene as quickly as possible.

I have to give a thumbs up to laser weapons here. They are definitely the golden partner of agents.

The surface of the wound was burned and charred by the laser, and there was not even a drop of blood at the scene, which undoubtedly saved the trouble of cleaning blood stains.
