Chapter 330: Qu Baoguo’s Request for Help

At this point, Fifth Master stopped Qu Baoguo from continuing.

“Alright, Baoguo, let’s leave it at that.”

“I suppose none of you have any objections.”

These representatives certainly had objections, but their protests would not have made much difference.

Fifth Master was only concerned about their loyalty, and they were all unsure about that.

After all, their original plan was to go to another Survivor base; staying or leaving was something they truly needed to discuss thoroughly back home.

Although they were empowered to represent the negotiations before they left, only they knew that these negotiations were not about joining, but about securing a temporary place to stay.

At this moment, Fifth Master brought up the second matter.

“Tell me, what kind of existence is that monster?”

“And how did you survive its clutches?”

When these Survivor representatives heard Fifth Master asking about the Underground People, their bodies clearly showed signs of fear.

Accompanied by their painful memories, they quickly began to describe it, one person after another.

Based on their supplementary descriptions, Qu Baoguo and Fifth Master were able to piece together a rough image of the Underground People in their minds.

Especially upon hearing that the enemy’s attack targets were completely reliant on hearing, Qu Baoguo suddenly seemed to know what these people had encountered.

When he was on a mission before he retired, he had also encountered such a monster.

Perhaps it was due to the weapons they had at the time, so dealing with it was not difficult; he needed to find time to tell his people about this. As for the confidentiality agreement, at this point, Qu Baoguo could not care less about it.

At the same time, Qu Baoguo did not forget to give Liang Yu a heads-up; he planned to contact Liang Yu immediately after this matter concluded.

And if possible, he would ask him for a batch of equipment.

He knew that if they truly encountered a large number of Underground People, their current firepower would not be enough to handle so many.

After Fifth Master finished asking his questions, he let those representatives leave. They also did not want to stay there any longer and hurried back as soon as they heard they could leave.

At this moment, Fifth Master called a few people over and instructed them.

“Follow them without being discovered. If possible, blend in.”

“Remember to report immediately if they have any ideas.”

The people assigned by Fifth Master had no complaints; they simply nodded and withdrew.

Qu Baoguo, who was nearby, could clearly see that although Fifth Master said otherwise, he still harbored suspicions about these people.

After all, let alone Fifth Master, even he felt the same way. If at such a time, one were to grant trust based on a few words from the other party, one might not even know how he died.

At the same time, Qu Baoguo saw that Fifth Master’s face was still somewhat pale, and using the excuse of not disturbing his rest, he also left Fifth Master’s room.

He then found a quiet, uninhabited place, took out his radio, and began to contact Liang Yu. It was not even seven in the morning at this time, and Liang Yu, after a night of hard work yesterday, was still embracing Lan Ling, deep in his dreams.

After Qu Baoguo had been trying to contact him for more than ten minutes, Liang Yu’s impatient voice came through the radio. It was clear that Liang Yu was already suppressing his anger.

“You better have a good reason for calling me!”

Qu Baoguo listened to Liang Yu’s angry words coming from the radio, which was pretty much what he had expected, so he relayed to Liang Yu what he had planned to say.

At the same time, he told Liang Yu everything about the Underground People. The other end of the radio simply responded with a soft “Hmm.”

Then Qu Baoguo recounted the matter of the remaining Survivors from the Town coming to seek refuge. Who knew that after Liang Yu heard this, for some unknown reason, his reaction was actually greater than when he heard about Qu Baoguo himself.

Qu Baoguo was a bit unsure whether he should bring up the matter of firearms and ammunition at this point. Just as he was deliberating, he heard Liang Yu confirm with him.

“Are you sure there are no more Survivors in the Town, that it’s an empty city??”

Qu Baoguo did not understand why Liang Yu would care about this, but he still gave a definite affirmative answer.

And he actually heard excitement and eagerness in Liang Yu’s tone this time, which made him involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.

However, now was indeed a good time; it sounded like the other party was in a good mood, so he nervously requested weapons and ammunition from Liang Yu.

He also knew that he had just received a batch of ammunition supplies, and now asking Liang Yu again, there was a high probability that he would not give it.

However, even if half of the Survivors joined them, they would still have over two hundred people, but they only had twenty-four submachine guns, over thirty pistols, and a certain amount of ammunition and grenades.

It sounded like a lot, and if it were just among Survivors, it would be completely sufficient, but he understood that with this much firepower, if they truly encountered the Underground People they described yesterday, they would barely have the strength to fight.

Liang Yu was silent on the other end of the radio. Qu Baoguo did not know if Liang Yu was thinking or if he had fallen back asleep, but all he could do now was wait.

Waiting for Liang Yu’s reply, besides waiting, he knew he had no other choice. He knew his place and could not rush the other party for an answer.

This time, Liang Yu made him wait for a few minutes, not intentionally ignoring Qu Baoguo, but because he was using the Satellite to confirm the situation in the Town. Indeed, there was not a single person left in the buildings.

After confirming, he then replied to Qu Baoguo. Although the other party might have been trying to curry favor, he had, after all, come to tell him the news at the first opportunity, so giving a little more would not hurt.

“Alright, I’ll give you another batch of military supplies.”

“You consider what you need and how much you need.”

Qu Baoguo was initially very happy, after all, if Liang Yu was willing to give, they would have more weapons and ammunition, and their chances of survival would increase by a few points if they encountered them.

But he had truly not expected that while Liang Yu agreed, he pushed the matter onto him. For a moment, Qu Baoguo felt the pressure.

He knew very well that he could not ask for too much at this time, as it could easily cause the other party’s displeasure, but he also did not know Liang Yu’s bottom line.

Asking for another batch of the previous configuration would not make much sense either, as an additional dozen or so submachine guns would not be of much use against the Underground People.

After much thought, Qu Baoguo could only brace himself and tell Liang Yu the weapons he originally wanted, and tentatively asked Liang Yu.

“Mr. Liang, I would like to ask you, do you have tripwire mines, grenade launchers, and rocket launchers?”

Qu Baoguo did not know if Liang Yu had them, and even if he did, he might not give him these large-scale destructive weapons, so he was unsure.

However, he did not know that Liang Yu’s intention in letting him speak for himself was truly to let him decide; Liang Yu would satisfy him as long as it was not too excessive.

Who knew that the other party only asked for these few things, while a large pile of equipment he had previously collected was still gathering dust in his backpack.
