Chapter 108 A Tragedy Caused by a Fish 2 (Fourth Update)

A series of malicious gazes were directed at the pregnant woman and child by the river, some filled with greed, some with lewdness, and some with scheming.

Because they were far away, Zuo Shan and the others hadn't noticed yet, but suddenly Ah Chen, the baby in her belly, started rolling back and forth.

Sensing the unease emanating from Ah Chen, Zuo Shan immediately turned around, but everyone was hiding in the shade of the trees, and she couldn't find anything.

Zuo Shan immediately sent a message to Mao Li, asking him to wake Xiao Bao up and find a big tree near the main road to wait. She planned to go pick up Xiao Bao and then leave the collection point immediately.

Today we collected vegetable leaves. Although each of us was dragging two sacks, the load wasn't heavy.

Zuo Shan was walking from the riverbank toward the main road when he saw three people emerge from behind a clump of tall bushes.

The group consisted of two men and one woman, all of whom were relatively tall and robust. Among these ordinary scavengers, they were the kind of people that no one dared to mess with.

The woman walked up to Zuo Shan and said with a half-smile, "Girl, judging from your appearance, you're not exactly a peaceful person, are you? Otherwise, your man wouldn't have abandoned the bastard in your belly to go off and have fun, not caring about the life or death of you and your child."

"Just say what you want to do!" Zuo Shan said coldly, one hand already reaching for the dagger at his waist.

"It's very simple. Leave the fish you caught behind, and tell us in detail your fish-catching tricks. If you do well, my two brothers might let you off the hook."

"Friendly reminder, my brother here loves tender shoots, they taste especially delicious!" The woman smiled lewdly and pointed to the hook-nosed man standing to her left.

The man was looking Pandora up and down with a disgusted expression, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Zuo Shan's anger surged to the sky. He hated this woman for being so indifferent to that man's disgusting fetishes, even though they were both women.

Secondly, I hate this man. Survival in the wasteland is already so difficult. I don't expect him to have any compassion for the weak, but at the very least, he shouldn't have made things worse by bullying a poor little girl.

Calling him a beast is an insult to the very word.

Then look at the other unkempt, dirty man. He wasn't a good person either. While they were talking, the man's eyes had already scanned her chest several times.

"Big sister, it's too unsafe to be in this desolate wilderness. If you want to know my fishing secrets, that's fine. Let's go to the main road and talk about it slowly, okay?" Zuo Shan said calmly, patting Pan Duole's trembling back lightly.

"Heh! You think anyone will dare to bother you once you're on the main road? Let me tell you, our Trio of Killers are notorious among the scavengers in the entire 48th District. Unless someone's got nothing better to do than look for trouble, they'll all stay far away even if they see us." The woman laughed smugly.

"Big sister, I really didn't mean that. I was just thinking that once we get to the main road, I'll tell you my fishing techniques, and then we can discuss it properly and see how much I'm willing to pay so you can let my sister go."

"My parents died young. Before they passed away, they repeatedly told me to protect this little sister. If anything happens to her, I don't want to live anymore, sob sob sob!" Zuo Shan covered her face and cried, her shoulders shaking.

The woman was getting impatient, but considering that he hadn't yet learned the most crucial fishing technique, he had no choice but to patiently try to fool her for now.

“Alright, let’s go to the main road.” The woman nodded, and the two men naturally had no objections.

In their view, the pregnant woman and the child on the left side had no choice but to submit to the three powerful men on the left.

Zuo Shan led the way, while Pan Duole followed behind, dawdling. The three men didn't bother with her anyway; with her sister there, they figured she wouldn't dare run away!

Moreover, even if she ran, she was small, had short legs, and was weak, so she couldn't outrun the three tall and strong men.

Pandora was thus ignored, but of course she wasn't idle either. From initially trembling with fear, she later considered sacrificing herself to ensure her sister's safety.

It wasn't until her sister feigned weakness in front of those people and tricked them into going to the main road that she finally understood that her sister wanted to join forces with Mao Li and Xiao Bao, so that the whole family could work together to take down this evil trio.

She immediately texted Mao Li: "Bad guys are coming, get ready to ambush them!"

This message was saved in the watch by my sister in advance. There are about a dozen similar messages, all for dealing with emergencies.

Zuo Shan knew that she couldn't recognize many characters, so she wrote them down and saved them for her. Because it was her older sister who specially saved them, she later repeatedly looked them up in the dictionary and learned all the characters in those documents.

Right now, I picked out the most suitable one and sent it to Mao Li.

The dirty man led the way, with Zuo Shan and the burly woman in the middle, and the sleazy man walking behind, occasionally glancing back at Pan Duole to make sure his target hadn't run away.

Zuo Shan calmly followed them all the way to the beginning of the main road, which was also the end of the main road when coming from the residential area.

Zuo Shan suddenly pretended to twist his ankle, staggered, squatted down and cried out, "Ouch! I twisted my ankle!"

The three people's attention was drawn to her. At the same time, on a large tree not far away, Mao Li gave Xiao Bao an instruction: "They are going to bully Master. You hit the woman next to Master first."

Xiao Bao couldn't really understand his commands, but it sensed that those people were full of malice towards its sister.

So it leaped from the tree and slapped the burly woman hard on the shoulder.

As the palm struck, its tiny claws extended like hooks and pierced the woman's shoulder blade.

"Ah!!! It hurts so much!" the woman screamed. Xiao Bao pulled out his little paw and slapped her, sending her flying. Her sturdy body crashed into a tree trunk, and the woman collapsed under the tree, spitting blood.

The change happened so fast that the man in the lead only felt a gust of wind and before he could react, his companion had already been sent flying.

"Ahhh! A second-tier mutated beast!" The dirty man finally came to his senses and screamed as he ran away into the distance.

Xiao Bao, of course, wouldn't let him off easily. He pounced on him from behind and struck him in the back with a palm strike.

The man felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer; a sharp pain shot through his back, and he fell forward, landing face-first in the mud.

The lewd man at the back grabbed Zuo Shan by the neck, trying to use her as a human wall to block the mutated beast's attack.

Up until this point, none of the three of them had ever imagined that this mutated beast was raised by Zuo Shan's family. After all, she was just an ordinary person, how could she possibly raise a second-tier mutated beast?

The next second, a mechanical arm suddenly stretched out of thin air and slapped hard on the lewd man's arm that was gripping his left neck.

The lewd man heard a "crack" sound as his wrist bone broke, and the hand that was gripping his neck fell limply to his side.
