Chapter 235

Sun Xiaoming recounted their experiences, his eyes red from crying.

Originally, they set out on this expedition with the purpose of killing more zombies to exchange their crystal cores and boost their strength faster.

However, during their midday rest stop, they happened to encounter a few survivors who happened to be from Xiang City.

What was even more coincidental was that these survivors had passed by the base where Ci Wan and his group were staying.

According to the survivors, a few stakes had been erected in front of the base, and several corpses were hung on them.

The corpses, exposed to the sun and eroded by rain, were rotten beyond recognition and emitted a disgusting odor.

Initially, these survivors wanted to enter the base, but the sight of the corpses scared them and they hurriedly left.

They recounted their experience with expressions of lingering fear.

However, upon hearing this, Ci Wan and his fellows felt as if a tumultuous wave had swept through them.

As for who the corpses belonged to, they didn't need to guess; they knew right away.

That Chang Li would do such a thing was not surprising at all.

Outraged by what they heard and convinced that they couldn't allow the bodies of their loved ones to continue to endure such desecration, they decided to retrieve them and give them a proper burial.

After discussing, they hit the road with the aim of discreetly taking away the corpses.

But, to their surprise, it was all a trap!

The corpses indeed belonged to Ci Wan's father and his group, but it was a trap flawlessly laid out by Chang Li!

Part of the plan was to have Ci Wan and his group fall into the trap in their attempt to respectfully bury the corpses.

As soon as they arrived, they were ambushed.

Luckily, Chang Li was not at the base at that time.

Just his subordinates were there.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But there were too many of them, and they were not weak in terms of strength, Ci Wan's group suffered heavy losses.

If it hadn't been for Ci Wan staking his all to stop the pursuers, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape at all.

But Ci Wan had been seriously injured and lost consciousness, barely clinging to life.

They also lost one of their companions.

Sun Xiaoming choked up when he got to this part of the story.

“What happened to the corpses of Ci Wan's family members?” Yun Xiaoxiao asked.

Sun Xiaoming, his eyes welling up with tears, replied in a resentful tone, “They are still hanging on the stakes, we were discovered before we even got close.”

So, they didn't venture deeper.

If they had, every one of them estimated they wouldn't have made it back. They would have died there.

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and asked, “Approximately how many people are there?”

Startled, Sun Xiaoming thought for a while, then replied, “I'm not completely sure but I guess there were around six to seven hundred people at Chang Li's side when we left.”

At that moment, they really understood what it meant to be protected.

The other party was neither their family nor intimate friends, yet they were willing to stand up for them.

They were more comforting than family, more homely than home!

Their eyes reddened, just another glance at the still-lit operating room had newfound meanings to them, they took a deep breath and hurriedly followed Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.

At the front gate.

Mu Yang was standing alone right at the front.

Several cars were parked in front of him, with a group of twenty or so people confronting him.

The atmosphere between the two parties was not exactly cordial.

"We’ve already said that we suspect that you’re hiding the person we seek.

Just let us come in and search, we'll leave once we’re done."

The leader that had triangular eyes puffed his chest out arrogantly, speaking in an uncouth manner.

Mu Yang snorted coldly, "Is Yun City some place you can simply search just because you say so?"

"Friend, give some face, you don’t want another enemy, do you?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Mu Yang's gentle gaze was suddenly filled with cold ruthlessness.

"How is this a threat? Let us in to search, and we won’t trouble you."

"Go to hell, does our Yun City look like a place for you mongrels to run wild!

Look at yourself in the mirror, with that ugly face, rather than troubling us, you should be hiding at home. Do you even have the capability to trouble us?"

As soon as the triangular-eyed man finished speaking, a coarse voice suddenly echoed.

Following that, several figures appeared by Mu Yang's side.

Originally insulted, Triangular eyes were filled with rage.

He was about to retaliate, but unexpectedly caught sight of Sun Xiaoming and Wei Qian.

He squinted his eyes, "Sure enough, you're here!"

Immediately after, he abruptly attempted to capture Sun Xiaoming and Wei Qian.

But no sooner had he moved, an enormous whip lashed out without warning.

"Crack!"

He was brutally whipped.

His entire body was flung away.

A bloody mark instantly appeared on the left side of his face.

"Dare to touch my people!"

Simultaneously, as he was thrown away, an incredibly domineering child's voice abruptly echoed!
