Chapter 165 A Sea of ​​Unrestrained Sin

Meng Shiwan and the others stood on the dock, their eyes never idle, observing the situation on the island.

The island is relatively flat, and as far as the eye can see, there are rows of houses.

These houses are all single-story, and judging from the building materials, they should be temporary structures with simple materials and rough workmanship.

Every now and then you can see armed patrols roaming around the island.

Security and defense are strictly controlled on the island.

You can even see tanks and armored vehicles passing by. This small island is like a war zone, which shows how abundant the island's weapons reserves are.

Tao Yarong, Lei Zhe, and the others couldn't help but become cautious; this pirate den wasn't so easy to raid.

Even a mid-level superhuman couldn't withstand so much bombardment from firearms.

At this moment, the man who had just left with the power-enhancing fluid rushed over, smiling obsequiously and treating Meng Shiwan and the others with utmost politeness.

"Gentlemen, our leader has invited you to meet. A car will be picking you up shortly. Please cooperate with us to have a blood test first, for your safety. We appreciate your understanding."

Meng Shiwan scoffed, "Do you think we can hide zombie blood in our own blood to harm you? If you don't want to do business, we'll go somewhere else."

The man quickly waved his hand, "No, no, this way please, the car to pick you up will be here soon."

These guys have some ability-enhancing fluids.

That's a power-enhancing fluid! If he offends someone, not only the leader, but probably all the power users on the island will want to skin him alive.

Liu Hai stood on the side, scratching his head as he watched.

These people are here to cause trouble, so why are they being invited in so respectfully?

Seeing him scratching his head, Lei Zhe glared at him and warned him to behave.

Liu Hai felt another electric current coursing through his body, so he quickly stood still, not daring to breathe.

These people can produce ability-enhancing fluid. With such a good thing, even if he tells others that these people are here to cause trouble, probably no one will care.

Liu Hai could only silently pray that their wise leader would see through their little tricks and kill them.

A black Cayenne was parked on the side of the road. The butler got out of the passenger seat and opened the car door for Meng Shiwan. "Please come in, distinguished guests. Mr. Huo is waiting for you."

Meng Shi got into the car that night, and Taxue jumped in after him, while the others got into the car behind.

The vehicle started and drove along the ring road toward the castle.

The butler turned to look at Taxue and said to Meng Shiwan, "May I ask your name?"

Meng Shiwan said calmly, "My surname is Meng."

The butler chuckled, "Miss Meng, your pet looks... really imposing! Is it a cat?"

This was the first time he had ever seen a cat so big it could take up a seat.

Meng Shiwan remained calm and replied, "Mm."

The butler chatted enthusiastically, "They said they met you at sea. Miss Meng, where are you from?"

Meng Shiwan: "Haicheng."

The butler added, "Haicheng is great. We moved here from Haicheng too. There are no zombies on the island, so we feel more at ease."

The butlers appeared to be chatting casually, but in reality, they were subtly trying to extract information from the conversation.

The ability enhancement fluid first appeared at the seed base in Haicheng District, and then spread to seed bases in other cities.

This person has the ability-enhancing fluid and is from Haicheng, so it makes sense.

When the butler asked any more questions, Meng Shiwan didn't want to answer, so he wisely kept quiet.

Meng Shiwan sat in the back row, with one hand on Ta Xue's back, and turned her head to look out the window, where she could see many things happening inside the building complex.

A drunk man carrying a bottle of liquor blocked a woman's path, then dragged her by the hair into the neighboring house, whereupon a violent shouting and conflict erupted.

People passing by ignored it, and some even wore disgusting smiles that everyone understood.

The sounds of gambling and playing cards were deafening. Meng Shiwan lowered some of the windows, and the noise rushed into her ears like waves.

The tin-roofed housing area was crowded, the roads were narrow, and it was teeming with unrestrained crime.

A patrol team passed by, unsurprised by the sight, clearly used to it.

A van pulled over ahead, and in the brief moment between the two vehicles, Meng Shiwan saw two men pull a naked, wounded female corpse out of the trunk.

Judging by her figure, she still looks so young and innocent.

The two men carried the woman's body and threw it out violently. It splashed into the strait outside the road fence, creating an inconspicuous wave before dissipating.

The two acted as if they had just thrown away a piece of trash, clapped their hands, and drove away.

The fact that they act so brazenly and blatantly shows that these phenomena have long been the norm on this island.

The Bloody Pirates? Ha.

Meng Shiwan chuckled, looked away, and lowered her eyes to focus on stroking Taxue's smooth fur.

The butler's eyes were dark as he explained, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. These people living in the outer circle are just trying to make a living here. Now that the order has collapsed and there are no constraints, they act recklessly and are difficult to manage. So we just turn a blind eye, provide them with a place to live, and let them live by their own abilities. We'll be at the castle soon."

Leaving his so-called outer circle and entering the inner circle, everything became clear.

The rows of townhouses looked much more luxurious, and the previous noise was gone.

The castle at the very center is even more magnificent, becoming the iconic building on the island.

The car stopped in the square in front of the castle, and the butler got out to open the door for Meng Shiwan.

"Please come in, Mr. Huo is waiting for you inside."

Tao Yarong and the others also got out of the car, and the group followed the butler into the castle.

The living room inside the castle is so luxurious that it's unimaginable; every single item is incredibly valuable.

The butler invited them to sit in the living room, where servants brought out a table full of drinks and snacks.

Even though Lei Zhe and his friends were avid foodies, they knew that the food here was inedible.

Ta Xue was attracted by the cake and stretched her head out to try it.

Meng Shiwan grabbed its ear and pulled it back, then took out a large dried cod from her spatial storage and fed it to it.

Ta Xue then abandoned the cake on the table and lay down on the seemingly expensive carpet, focusing on gnawing on dried cod.

Meng Shiwan asked, "Where is your CEO Huo? Didn't he say he was waiting for us?"

The butler pushed over a large screen monitor, turned it on, and showed the face that had frequently appeared on the financial channel.

Meng Shiwan stared at the butler, her expression not good, as if waiting for his explanation.

The butler apologized, "Gentlemen, I'm so sorry. Mr. Huo has been going in and out a lot lately, and the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is quite large. He caught a cold from the constant switching between hot and cold."

"Given the current shortage of medical supplies, and the concern about infecting you all, we've chosen this method of meeting. We hope you don't mind."

Meng Shiwan cursed under her breath, calling him an old fox.

He was clearly worried about his safety and feared they might pose a threat to him, which is why he hid.

Meng Shiwan said they had a power-enhancing fluid. If he was a power user, his level should be quite high. If they wanted to kill him at close range, the security guards outside might not be able to save him.

That's why they came up with the idea of ​​meeting via video.

No wonder he used to be a big entrepreneur; he's really meticulous.
