Now the grain needed by Starlight Company has begun to be transported to Wugu City one after another, and has begun to be transferred to Starlight Company.

After Qin Xiaoyu agreed to Secretary Chen's conditions, he sent a team to escort him away. At the same time, Ning Zhe and others also started the expansion journey of Starlight Company, preparing to recruit bandits and expand their territory.

As one of the leaders of the expansion, Ning Zhe left the Starlight Company's headquarters with Lin Bao, Shangguan Xiaohu, and twenty bandits in the afternoon when the decision was made.

The people on their side were divided into four teams, and Ning Zhe was responsible for the expansion to the east.

Ever since Song Jia entered the Xinmeng League, she has been investigating the situation in Lingnan, especially since the establishment of Starlight Company, she has been drawing maps.

Lingnan is a vast desert with almost no iconic landforms, so the drawing of a map is also quite difficult. At present, there is no complete map of the Lingnan region, even in Lu's

The military map only marked the distance from the frontier fortress to the border between Lingnan and the Jinqin Ring. The entire area in Lingnan was replaced by a desert terrain zone.

Song Jia had been busy for so long and could only draw a simple map of the area around Green Creek Valley, marking the locations of several large and medium-sized gangs. As for the small gangs that consisted of dozens of people and were running around everywhere, there was nothing they could do about it.

Make statistics.

The first stop Ning Zhe wants to go to is the Kaishan Gang, which is forty kilometers away from the Xinmeng station.

In the driving pickup truck, Lin Bao held the steering wheel and asked Ning Zhe: "Brother, before we set off, Song Jia told us about the situation of the Kaishan Gang. Because their station is too close to the territory of the Faith Alliance, they are usually believed

The alliance was so overwhelmed that we couldn't even lift our heads. Before the war, it was difficult to have enough to eat. After the food was cut off, it was even more ruined. It is said that one-third of the 300 bandits under the alliance have now escaped. This kind of banditry, we

Is it still necessary to recruit them?"

"Of course it is necessary." Ning Zhe unscrewed the lid of the kettle and responded: "Now that there is a great disaster in Lingnan, all the gangs have insufficient food to eat, including several big gangs in the Faith Alliance. They can barely make ends meet now, and they are

This situation is just a drop in the bucket. Most gangs today are in the same situation as the Kaishan Gang.

What you see is that most of the bandits from the Kaishan Gang have chosen to leave, but do you think those bandits who left can really have a way out? This is the situation throughout Lingnan now. Every gang is reducing its members, and everyone thinks they have left.

They can find a way to survive, but in fact, after breaking away from the group, they will only live in a worse situation, because no gang now has the ability to feed so many people.

I have talked with Song Jia, and the situation of the Kaishan Gang is not unique. Almost all gangs have people starving to death, or leaving the gangs to find another way out. We are the only force in Lingnan that can live without worries about food and clothing.

Even Lao Ka’s loyal gang and the low-level bandits don’t have enough to eat.”

"In this case, why don't we just accept those bandits who ran away?" Lin Bao sniffed after listening to Ning Zhe's explanation and asked, "If we directly negotiate with the gangs, it will not only be troublesome, but it may also cause trouble.

It causes conflicts, and those bandits who broke away from the gangs are all desperate people. As long as we give them a bite to eat, they will choose to join us. Isn't this great?"

"But this is meaningless. We recruit bandits to expand our territory and ensure the safety of transportation and supply lines. If we recruit bandits on a large scale as you said, it will be difficult for us to accommodate so many people, and we have to let them attack

For other gangs, this will arouse the hatred of the bandits towards us, and in addition to food, it will also increase the consumption of arms."

Ning Zhe took a sip of water and continued: "According to the current situation, the most beneficial way for us is to integrate gangs and maintain the stability of the situation. Moreover, we will need these gangs to help fight against the chaebols in the future, so we still need them to form an organizational structure.

exist instead of recruiting stragglers and wasting resources on training them.”

Lin Bao understood what Ning Zhe meant, and then concentrated on driving and did not continue to ask about the matter.

The convoy set off from the territory of the Faith Alliance and had an uneventful journey. After several hours of marching, it finally arrived at the location of the Kaishan Gang.

Within a few hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, the Faith Alliance is undoubtedly the most powerful gang. Several bandit nests with relatively good geographical locations are all occupied by large gangs. The slightly worse places are also occupied by small gangs attached to the Faith Alliance.

The bandits divided it up.

As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. For many years, the Kaishan Gang has been trying to join the Faith Alliance, but because their scale is too small, the Faith Alliance has ignored them at all.

The Kaishan Gang's headquarters is located in a small Gobi desert, surrounded by a ring of sand dunes. In order to ensure living space, the gang has to clean the Gobi desert every day, otherwise it will not take long for the Gobi desert to be swallowed up by wind and sand.

…

At the Kaishan Gang's base, there were several low-rise adobe houses and many shabby tents.

At this time, a group of ragged and skinny bandits were gathering together, all of them with dull eyes, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.

The boss stood in front of the crowd and shouted feebly: "Which group's turn is it today?"

He took a step forward on the clearing column and waved to the crowd: "People on the horse number, take a step forward!"

After clearing the pillars, several bandits walked out of the crowd tremblingly, their eyes full of fear.

"Click!"

The boss waited for these people to come out, took out the six-round revolver from his waist, pressed a bullet into it, turned the magazine, and said to the people: "In recent times, the gang has been unable to uncover the truth.

You can feed on people. You have eaten other people, and now you have to take your turn. Nothing else. The only thing I can promise is to keep your bones. When we get through this disaster, we will bury you all generously!"

After hearing this, several bandits from Ma Hao turned pale, and one of them even fell to the ground.

"Master! I don't want to die! I don't want to die like this!" A bandit looked at the bandit leader, his body was shaking constantly, and he slowly backed away: "Can you let me out, I can arrest people and come back!"

"Wow!"

The clearing column pulled the gun bolt and pointed it at the man: "Don't move, and don't think about running. Otherwise, you won't be able to pass the luck-betting level, but will be shot to death directly!"

At this time, another bandit stood up, pointed at a thin horse bandit and said, "Master, can I take the place of my brother?"

The young bandit looked at his brother with wide eyes: "Brother! No!"

Seeing this scene, the bandit leader sighed: "Okay!"

The bandit stepped forward, removed his younger brother from the team, and took a deep breath: "Come on!"

"Click!"

The boss raised his hand and pulled the trigger, and a gunshot sounded from the gun.

"Ka! Ka!"

The sound of empty guns sounded one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the bandit leader had fired five shots.

The gun was also pointed at the person who was leaving in the first place.

"No! Master, no!" Seeing that he was bound to die, the bandit turned around and ran away.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out and the bandit's body fell down.

The leader looked at his twitching men lying in a pool of blood, sighed and waved his hands: "Carry them away!"

"Buzz!"
Chapter completed!
