People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon Chapter 512: Rescue (1)

Chapter 512: Rescue (1)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A rescue team of fifty people were formed and each with over twenty time enhancement. They raced like the wind and lightning, reaching the boundary road mentioned by Xiao Xiao Long in just an hour.

Indeed, it was an artificially constructed road, about twenty meters wide.

Stretching from east to west, its end was out of sight.

After crossing the boundary road, everyone stopped to rest.

“How far are we from those robber’s stronghold?”

“About twenty kilometers…”

We were attacked about three to four kilometers from here…” Xiao Xiao Long recalled.

Twenty kilometers, with their current speed and stamina to travel non-stop, it would take about two hours to reach, not too far away now.

Zhao Yu calculated silently, thinking that if he used the Lightfoot Technique to run and swing along the tree bough as path, he could even get there in half an hour.

This speed wasn’t exaggerated, equivalent to a car’s speed of fifty kilometers per hour.

His calculation was based on maintaining a steady pace, considering the physical limitations of a person.

For a short sprint at full speed, Zhao Yu felt he could reach a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour.

The only drawback of Lightfoot Technique was suitable for traveling in a straight line but lacked flexibility.

When operating at full capacity, it was difficult for him to change directions. That’s was why Zhao Yu always jump to change his direction in his previous application of this technique.

With his strength and the Lightfoot technique, covering twenty meters to thirty meters per second was easy but the inability to turn was somewhat uncomfortable as he couldn’t dodge any incoming attack during the period. Since there were Lightfoot techniques and other ancient martial arts, there must be techniques suitable for combat, and he definitely wanted to learn one in the future.

“Does everyone bring along their coins?!”

Zhao Yu stood up and asked the team.

“We do…”

Except for Xiao Xiao Long’s group, everyone else carried coins with them, and not just a few – each had at least twenty.

Zhao Yu himself had 181 coins.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao Long and others had revealed that one to two thousand were robbed from them.

The way they acted, these coins seem very important. The reason for letting you all go, probably hoping you all could continue hunting monsters and earning more coins…”

Those bandits knew how to drain resources without depleting them.

“So, even if we fail, they probably won’t kill too many people…”

“That’s why we should leave some coins here. In case we fail, not all will be taken away!” Zhao Yu suggested.

The value of the coins was clearly high, and those weapons and equipment must have been exchanged with coins at the camp.

Although they didn’t have a way to exchange yet, the bandits should knew it as they could get weapons and equipment.

Everyone agreed and started digging holes near the boundary road to bury their coins.

Zhao Yu didn’t dare to bury all his coins, only burying a hundred and keeping eighty-one with him.

This way, in case of failure and capture, it could serve as a ransom.

After marking the spot, the group set off again.

They crossed twenty kilometers in one go and stopped to rest about three to four kilometers from the bandit’s lair.

The fifty people started to polish their stone axes, these were their best weapons at the moment.

Although the stone axes couldn’t penetrate armor, not all of the enemy were fully armed.

Apart from their leader, the others had only one to three pieces of armor, leaving vulnerable spots.

“Zhao Yu, their leader is armed to the teeth. The only vulnerable spot seems to be his neck…”

“His helmet and armor don’t seem to be a set; there’s a gap around his neck…”

“I understand!”

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, knowing that the outcome of this battle depended on his fight with the opposing leader.

In terms of equipment, there was a huge disparity between them.

The only thing he could rely on was that his physical condition was far superior to that of the leader.

Not only was he faster, but his strength was also much greater.

After resting, the group set off once again.

They took a full hour to cover the three to four kilometers.

The entire journey involved concealing their tracks and moving slowly, careful took out the enemy and not to be detected by the enemy.

Zhao Yu also intermittently activated his Super Brain vision while adjusting the range of the scan.

Previously, he had set the Super Brain to scan only for monsters, not antic.i.p.ating human adversaries.

Zhao Yu changed the settings so that any living creature detected by the Super Brain would trigger a flashing alert to him.

In this complex forest environment, the Super Brain’s vision was far more effective than his own eyes and ears.

Finally, when they were about five hundred meters from the enemy base, Zhao

Yu raised his hand, signaling to the others.

Everyone immediately halted at the sound.

Before setting off, Zhao Yu had emphasized that he would be in command throughout the journey.

No one objected as all complied obediently.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and gestured a few more times.

This time, Zhao Yu wanted the rest of them to wait here while he went to take out the enemy’s leader.

The group became tense.

But they dared not make any extra movements, fearing detection by the enemy.

On their journey, everyone was surprised about how Zhao Yu had managed to detect the enemy without any sign of the enemy.

And considering Zhao Yu’s cautious demeanor, it seemed that the enemy scout had not yet noticed them.

This situation led the group to speculate.

Could it be that Zhao Yu knew some ancient martial arts technique that enhanced hearing, sight, or smell?

Or perhaps he had a special talent in this area?

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhao Yu used his Lightfoot technique and amazingly leaving no traces in the snow, silently departed.

About three minutes later, Zhao Yu returned with a person dragged behind him.

Success!

The group was overjoyed.

The man Zhao Yu was holding was thin and filled with fear in his eyes. His mouth was covered by cloth and his limbs had been broken earlier..
