Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers Chapter 272: Carmen's Urgent Intelligence, Supply Trade

Inside the Black Shield Police Departnt.

When Carn appeared in the Director's Office, Commander Lao Ke and Chief Hogg hurried over.

"Carn, quickly repeat what you just told to the Chief."

"Yes!" Carn looked at Chief Hogg.

"Chief, after killing that chanical transforr last ti, I commissioned the Black Rock Caravan to investigate the faction behind the Thug Prison. As you know, intelligence trading has always been their pillar business, and they have many unknown information networks."

"Just now, the Black Rock Caravan suddenly contacted . They have information on the organization behind the Thug Prison, and they also discovered another matter closely related to us, which is quite urgent. They asked if I wanted to purchase this information."

"I didn't dare to delay and imdiately reported to Commander Lao Ke!"

Chief Hogg's emotions were still not very stable. He had just completed today's wild taming and couldn't effectively control his wild nature yet.

Hearing Carn's words now, he imdiately raised his head, his wolf-like gray pupils fixed on Carn.

"What did you say? There's a lead on the faction behind the Thug Prison?"

Being stared at by Hogg, Carn felt as if he would be torn apart the next mont, making his heart flutter with fear.

Not daring to hesitate, he imdiately nodded and said, "Yes, but the Black Rock Caravan said this urgent intelligence concerns the life and death of our Black Shield. They demand two truckloads of supplies for the transaction and said this intelligence has a very strong tiliness. This deal is only valid until dawn."

"This matter is of great importance, and the required quantity of supplies is huge. I didn't dare to make the decision, and due to the urgency, I could only report to you imdiately."

Hogg checked the ti; it was now 3:30 AM. The sky wouldn't light up until after 7 AM during this period.

That ant there were only three and a half hours left. No wonder Carn was so anxious.

Hogg pondered the possibility of this matter. He knew the Black Rock Caravan; the intelligence they sold always lived up to its price.

He thought of the powerful chanical skeleton and transformation organs of the chanical transforr.

Thinking of this.

Hogg had already made a decision. He looked at Lao Ke.

"Lao Ke, you go prepare the supplies. It must all be done within half an hour."

He then looked at Carn.

"You imdiately contact the Black Rock Caravan. I'm buying this information. Two truckloads will depart in half an hour, but I want to know part of the intelligence first."

As Hogg gave the orders, the two n had already stood up.

Hearing the command now, they imdiately accepted their orders.

Lao Ke took the list of supplies Carn had already prepared and went to make arrangents.

Carn then took out a walkie-talkie and looked at Hogg.

"Chief, this is the walkie-talkie used to contact the Black Rock Caravan."

Subsequently, Carn spoke into the walkie-talkie in front of Hogg:

"Are you still there?"

Soon, a young man's voice ca through.

"Of course. So, Commander Carn, are you going to trade for this information? Ti is running out."

Seeing that Hogg made no move, Carn continued to ask, "We agree to this transaction. Two truckloads of supplies are expected to depart in half an hour, but our Chief hopes to know part of the intelligence information in advance..."

The walkie-talkie fell into brief silence, as if the other side was thinking and weighing the pros and cons.

Carn looked at Hogg, but Hogg didn't speak. His wolf-like eyes just stared fixedly at the walkie-talkie in Carn's hand.

Quietly waiting.

Finally.

A few minutes later, that voice sounded again.

"Sigh... Alright! I trust Chief Hogg's integrity and Commander Carn's character. Since that's the case, I'll provide part of the intelligence information first."

Hogg gave Carn a slight nod. He took a tape recorder from a drawer, turned on the recording function, and placed it in front of Carn.

Carn understood his aning.

"Okay! Go ahead..." After saying this, he had already placed the walkie-talkie next to the tape recorder.

"The organization behind the Thug Prison is called the 【chanical Vanguard Society】. They are not an organization from our continent, but a military cult organization from the Terra Continent..."

Inside the walkie-talkie, the young man's voice slowly introduced the intelligence information.

Hogg listened carefully, occasionally showing a thoughtful expression.

But when he heard that this chanical Vanguard Society actually occupied more than half the area of another continent, Carn clearly saw a look of shock and desire flash in Hogg's eyes.

"In short, this chanical Vanguard Society is very powerful and dangerous..." The voice from the walkie-talkie suddenly stopped. Hogg frowned slightly.

Carn was about to ask, but Hogg had already snatched the walkie-talkie into his hand first.

"Why did you stop? What then?"

Hogg's voice carried obvious impatience.

"Chief Hogg?" A surprised laugh ca from the walkie-talkie.

"Chief, the remaining intelligence will naturally be presented imdiately after I receive the supplies. And I guarantee it concerns the life and death of your Black Shield Police Departnt and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association..."

After saying this, no more sound ca from the walkie-talkie.

Hogg put down the walkie-talkie. He walked to the window and looked down at the vehicles already being loaded with supplies below.

"Carn, have everyone help. I want to see that intelligence at the fastest speed..."

"Yes!"

Carn acknowledged and left.

With the efforts of all the thugs, the two large truckloads of supplies were successfully loaded and began to depart from the Black Shield Police Departnt.

In the driver's seat of the truck, a figure turned his head, exchanged a glance with Carn, nodded slightly, then slamd on the accelerator and drove toward the Northern District.

That was—Alpha.

After about ten or twenty minutes.

A line of text appeared in the void in front of Carn.

【Alpha: Supplies successfully handed over, returning now. Can proceed to the next step of the plan.】

At the sa ti, the young man's voice sounded again from the walkie-talkie on Hogg's desk.

"Supplies have been received. Pleasure doing business."

"What about the intelligence?" Hogg asked.

"OK, let's get to the point. Three chanical transforrs and one Executor have just arrived at the Thug Prison. Combined with the previous one Executor and one chanical transforr, there are now two Executors and four chanical transforrs at the Thug Prison. According to my intelligence, these six people will launch a surprise attack on the Aurora Animal Assistance Association this afternoon..." The young man relayed the intelligence about the chanical Vanguard Society's impending attack on the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hogg and Lao Ke instantly changed.

"What is an Executor? Is this information confird?"

"Executor is the title for chanical warriors within the chanical Vanguard Society who are a higher level than chanical transforrs. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary chanical transforrs. Now Chief Hogg understands why I said this intelligence has strong tiliness, right!"

"The sudden attack by these six people, if unprepared, no faction can withstand it. Of course, it's different if you know in advance."

Inside the walkie-talkie, the young man gave a light laugh.

"It's also fortunate that Chief Hogg has great foresight. I hope this intelligence can be of help to you!"

The call ended. Hogg looked at the walkie-talkie, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Lao Ke, observing Hogg's expression, said softly, "Chief... should I go organize manpower?"

But Hogg had already picked up the tape recorder and was walking out.

"Carn, you make preparations first! Imdiately begin reconnaissance on the Thug Prison. Lao Ke, co with to the zoo, imdiately..."

"Yes!"

One minute later.

Carn watched the convoy driving out of the police station, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He sent a ssage to Yu Yuan.

【Lone Wolf: Plan successful. Hogg has headed to the zoo, but I estimate he will verify the intelligence's accuracy.】

A few seconds later.

【Wolf Den · King: Don't worry! Can begin the next step.】
