The sudden bright light caught the corpses off guard. They let out terrified roars and retreated, seemingly filled with fear of the intense light.

It's a river!

Chuanliu's move undoubtedly brought a turning point to this endless battle.

Chuanliu drove his vehicle and suddenly rushed into the battlefield.

The wheels kicked up clouds of dust, separating the restless zombies from Jojo's group.

Then, she controlled the brakes and accelerator, accelerating and drifting around the battlefield.

The headlights rotated as the vehicle moved, projecting bright light precisely onto the corpses, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Under the blinding light, the corpses appeared somewhat flustered, and their offensive was greatly affected.

Jojo and her team took the opportunity to adjust their formation, preparing to launch a new counterattack against the enemy.

With Qiaoqiao's targeted countermeasures and the added support of the flowing lights around the arena, the nine people finally wiped out all the zombies.

Everything quieted down again.

A heavy, pungent smell of blood enveloped the surroundings like a dark cloud, slowly spreading and suffocating everyone.

With heavy steps, Qiaoqiao approached the small building's remains, which had been ravaged by the zombies.

Xiao Lou's eyes remained wide open, empty and filled with despair.

Qiaoqiao gently reached out and covered his eyes, slowly closing them.

At this moment, Chuanliu followed the headlights out of the car and hurriedly ran to Qiaoqiao's side, gazing at the body in Qiaoqiao's arms with a look of deep sorrow.

"This... is the masterpiece of the Plum Blossom City!"

Qiaoqiao's eyes were filled with indescribable grief and raging anger. She gritted her teeth, and every word seemed to burst forth from the deepest part of her heart, filled with endless resentment.

Looking around, all that could be seen was devastation, with corpses strewn everywhere. Every fallen figure was a ruthless trampling of life.

Qiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, blood trickling down silently. The intense pain seemed to have merged with her inner anger, becoming insignificant.

Her men also bowed their heads in grief, mourning their brother and secretly vowing to avenge him.

Chuanliu carefully examined the corpses lying on the ground. Their clothes were quite uniform, and combined with their already robust human bodies, their extraordinary teamwork, and the faint remnants of human instinct, a clear conclusion emerged in her mind.

“These corpses must have been created recently and carefully placed here,” Chuanliu said in a deep voice.

She further analyzed, "It is no coincidence that such a high-level team appeared here. It is very likely that someone knew about your return journey in advance and deliberately arranged this premeditated ambush."

Qiao Qiao nodded, agreeing with Chuan Liu's speculation.

A murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she picked up Xiao Lou's corpse and said to the men behind her, "Let's go, we'll take our brother home."

The three cars restarted and headed towards Black Spade Mountain.

Inside the car, a layer of tranquility once again enveloped the interior.

Looking at the woman behind him through the rearview mirror, Chuanliu suddenly felt a surge of indignation and empathy in her voice: "Plum Blossom City, this is simply outrageous!"

Qiaoqiao's thoughts were abruptly pulled back to reality by the girl's sudden outburst of indignation. She listened quietly to the girl's subsequent low-pitched accusation: "They have done so many heinous things, aren't they afraid of the karmic retribution that will surely come?"

Qiaoqiao rested her chin on her hands, letting the wind blowing through the window caress her cheeks, and quietly listened to Chuanliu's indignant words ahead.

While keeping an eye on Qiaoqiao's reaction, Chuanliu continued in a volume she could clearly hear: "He killed my benefactor, that brat, and then did those inhumane human experiments..."

"Wait!" Qiao Qiao's gaze froze instantly as she turned to look directly at the girl. "What did you just say? Say it again."

Chuanliu repeated, slightly confused, "I mean they're conducting human experiments."

“No,” Jojo’s tone revealed a hint of urgency, “I’m asking you about the previous sentence.”

The girl looked troubled, as if she realized that she had inadvertently revealed a secret, and hesitated to say the first half of her sentence.

However, Qiaoqiao didn't let this detail go and insisted on asking, "You said they killed your benefactor, the little devil? Which little devil are you talking about?"

Chuanliu pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to mention this person, and his face showed a hint of wariness.

Qiaoqiao realized she had been a bit too hasty. Given the little devil's special status, it was inevitable that the girl wouldn't answer her question.

So she softened her tone and said, "Don't be nervous. That kid is someone I respect. Years ago, when he advocated for peace, I was one of the first 'A's' to support him."

Seeing that Chuanliu's expression had softened a bit, she added, "You can see from the current situation in Spade City that I have been implementing the kid's philosophy."

The girl slowly nodded. "Sister Qiaoqiao, I believe you."

Qiaoqiao then asked, "I've been searching for four years without any news about Xiaogui. Why do you say that Plum Blossom City killed him? Can you tell me what really happened?"

The girl seemed to have lowered her guard against him and said, "Li Chengfeng shot and killed someone, and that person... was Xiao Gui."

"What!" Qiao Qiao exclaimed seriously, "Why didn't Zhou Zheng tell me about something this big!"

Chuanliu explained, "Master has always kept his identity well hidden. Boss Zhou and the others probably just thought he was an innocent passerby who died tragically."

As she spoke, a sorrowful expression appeared on the girl's face.

This made Qiaoqiao believe her words even more. "Plum Blossom City is indeed also investigating the whereabouts of the brat. Damn it, they actually succeeded!"

Then, Qiaoqiao realized something and asked, "Wait, why do you call him Master?"

The girl said, "When I first arrived on the island, it was my master who saved me from dire straits. It was his encouragement that gave me the courage to survive..."

Chuan Liu spoke eloquently, expressing her sincere respect for Xiao Gui. However, she did not mention that Xiao Gui was Feng Mi, or his relationship with Qian Chuan.

But because of Chuanliu's understanding of Feng Mi's past experiences, Qiaoqiao completely believed her words.

"Although my master has Alzheimer's disease, he is still my master."

The girl gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Therefore, I must avenge my master! I am sworn enemies with Plum Blossom City!"

This resonated with Qiao Qiao. She sighed and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still said, "The kid doesn't have dementia. He was poisoned, and... he was poisoned by the person closest to him."
