Chapter 72

Boss, weve searched over a dozen villas, but we havent found any food or supplies, said a man in his thirties with a fierce and masculine appearance, somewhat resembling Huaqiang. His name was Liu Wei.

Liu Wei remained calm and composed as he replied, Xiao Wei, dont worry. In this snowy weather, its difficult to find food outdoors. We can try looking for squirrels; they often store a lot of food.

Similarly, if we find other survivors, well naturally find food as well.

Xiao Wei nodded, seeming to understand but not fully. Liu Wei, on the other hand, couldnt help but think that the residents of these villas were either rich or noble. There wasnt an unattractive woman or child among them. It had been days since he had encountered a beautiful woman.

Brother Wei, theres someone in this villa.

Liu Wei had gathered a group of eighteen or nineteen survivors and established some authority among them through ruthless means. They had come to Chen Luos villa area together in search of supplies, while also keeping an eye out for attractive women.

The one they discovered was a young man.

Liu Wei and his group ignored the young man and forcefully entered the villa, rummaging through it. The young man endured their presence, seeing that there wasnt much left to fight over.

However, Xiao Wei, unsatisfied with the search results, struck the young man on the head with a steel pipe.

Bastard! Why do you get to live in a big villa while I cant?

Watching the scene with blood flowing, Xiao Wei felt extremely excited. The feeling of being unrestrained was exhilarating, and he felt the urge to harm anyone he desired.

pa pa pa pa pa.

Xiao Wei became increasingly exhilarated as he continued to beat the young man, eventually killing him with the chaotic strikes of his club. Liu Wei watched, but made no attempt to stop him, as it served to establish their dominance.

Everyone who witnessed the scene was filled with fear.

Xiao Wei smirked and said, Ah, too bad, there arent many supplies here either.

Liu Wei instructed, Keep searching.

They soon found the villas belonging to Chen Luo and Shu Yun. Fang Yu and Xu Lan, who were guarding the area, were the first to notice their arrival.

Xu Lan asked, What should we do? There are quite a lot of them. Chen Luo said that if there are too many people, we should act as if we havent seen them.

If a conflict arises, there are only two of us, and its definitely not going to end well for us, said Fang Yu, shaking his head. We cant let them enter and search. Our supplies are stored inside. Although Chen Luo didnt ask for it, we cant just stand by and watch.

He continued, Heres what well do: well go down and warn them, saying that our larger force is about to return. If they dont listen, well take action and then run, diverting their attention and buying time. With the stun batons we have, there might be a chance for a counterattack.

Xu Lan nodded in agreement. Thats a plan. Otherwise, well be at their mercy. If everything goes smoothly for Chen Luos group, theyll be back soon.

Suddenly, Fang Yus eyes lit up as he carefully observed the entrance of the residential area. Chen Luo and the others are back. I saw Chen Luos car.

Several cars suddenly appeared in the residential area.

There were cars, vans, and small trucks, parked not far from the entrance of the residential area.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. Did a significant number of survivors enter the villa area?

Chen Luo chuckled inwardly. Did I even need you to say that?

After they were a bit further away, Xiao Wei couldnt help but ask Li Wei, Big brother, is that it? Isnt that against your character?

Li Wei lightly patted Xiao Weis head, Now that we know theyre here, are we afraid theyll run away? Isnt it better to find an opportunity for a sneak attack? Dont always think about fighting face-to-face, thats being reckless. Use your brain a little.

Xiao Wei suddenly realized.

Chen Luo more or less had the same thought.

If they engage in a direct confrontation, then he will have to release poisonous gas, he wont be able to eat for several days. It would also affect Mi Ling and Mi Li. Why should he fight him head-on when he can launch a surprise attack?

The difference is that as long as you stay a bit further away from me, Ill make my move.

While Li Wei was quietly instructing Xiao Wei, his head suddenly exploded.

Chen Luo released a spatial sphere that accurately hit Li Weis head.

Why didnt his head explode?

He was left with just a tiny bit of life force in an instant.

Li Weis final thought was, Damn, I got screwed over.

Not taking any chances, Chen Luo gave him another hit.

Chen Luo waved his hand, Take them out.

These were mostly just a group of miscellaneous people and they were quickly taken out.

Chen Luo had a disdainful expression on his face. Thinking, Knowing that you posed a threat to me, would I let you leave?

Should I wait for you to make your move before I retaliate?

There are always some idiots who, despite knowing that the other party has ill intentions, refrain from taking action until they themselves are ambushed and then unleash their rage.

By then, its too late to regret when your subordinates, or even your loved ones, have suffered irreparable harm.

But Im different. I have always been proactive. As long as I perceive you as a threat and can easily eliminate you, I will strike immediately.

Even before Li Weis death, he never anticipated that while he was planning for an opportunity to ambush, he would be ambushed on the spot.

I really admire/respect you, you old number six.
