Chapter 117 No one remains loyal forever.
With a "thump", Qi Shang was grabbed by the collar and thrown to the ground. His body rolled half a circle and hit the wall. The pain made him groan.
His eyes had been injured before, and now he couldn't open them. He couldn't see clearly what was in front of him and didn't know who was in front of him.
This reminded him of the last time he was attacked. The remaining fear in his body made him shrink back, and he leaned his back against the wall, looking for some sense of security.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?!" In order to hide his fear, Qi Shang shouted loudly, intending to make the other party feel that he was not someone to be trifled with.
No one spoke, and there was complete silence.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to use his special ability, but before he could do so, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in front of him, which was fire.
This person has fire ability, not the same person as last time!
"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to move."
The voice that reached his ears was low and hoarse, sounding unnatural. It was obvious that the person was trying to conceal his identity and didn't want him to know who he was.
In other words, this person was not an outsider who broke into the safe zone, but someone he knew.
Qi Shang's mind flashed back to several fire-type psychics in the area who had had unpleasant experiences with him. He suddenly fixed his gaze on one person's face. "Zhou Tai, is that you?!"
Hearing the name from his mouth, Jiang Yan raised his lips silently. He did not directly explain, but continued to speak in a low voice: "The more you know, the faster you die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shang felt the heat in front of him getting closer to him. He could even feel a slight burning sensation. He subconsciously dodged backwards, and the back of his head hit the wall, making him groan in pain.
He raised his hands to cover his head, and heard the person in front of him let out a mocking laugh. Feeling embarrassed, he put his hands down and said, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Of course I'm teaching you a lesson." In the blinding darkness, a subtle sound of fabric rubbing could be heard, as if the person in front of me had squatted down. "Who told you to mess with someone you shouldn't mess with?"
Someone he shouldn't mess with? Who could he mess with? He's only... Qi Shang suddenly paused and shouted, "You're not Zhou Tai! You're Liu Yang's!"
Jiang Yan smiled silently again. He was indeed the fool who was easily fooled. "I told you, the more you know, the faster you die."
"You, you can't touch me!" Qi Shang pressed himself against the wall in fear. "You know, my cousin is Cheng Yuefeng, and I'm his only relative now. If you touch me, he will definitely avenge me, and then you'll die too!"
The person in front of him didn't speak for a while, and seemed to be a little hesitant.
Qi Shang felt there was a chance, and quickly continued, "Liu Yang's ability is simply not comparable to my cousin's. If he gives you any benefits, my brother can also give you some."
"But Liu Yang is only in the second team now..." The other party suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, as if he realized that he had let something slip. Then he said with a bit of anger: "Stop talking nonsense to me!"
Qi Shang is now completely certain that this person was definitely sent by Liu Yang. Maybe, he is a member of their second team, and there is only one fire-type mutant in their team.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously wanted to call the other person's name, but remembering the other person's two warnings to him, and feeling the burning heat that was always so close, he swallowed hard and didn't dare to say, "If you stop now, I will definitely not let my cousin cause you any trouble. I know who the real culprit is, and you still have a chance to choose."
In the darkness, there was silence again. The other party seemed to be entangled for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Since I have made a choice, I will not regret it. Cheng Yuefeng is already a thing of the past."
"Listen to me...ah——!"
Before Qi Shang could say anything, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right leg and he even heard the sound of his leg bones breaking.
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his head and his face quickly turned pale.
The instinct of survival made him almost subconsciously wave his hand to throw away the dirt and rocks, and then he heard a muffled groan from the person in front of him. He had hit him!
But then he felt a burning pain on the left side of his face. It was the other party who threw the flame at him in anger.
Qi Shang gritted his teeth, and a surge of bloodiness rose in his heart. The opponent was not as strong as the one who attacked him last time. If he fought him with all his strength, he might not lose his chance of survival.
Thinking of this, his supernatural powers began to gather.
“Who is it?”
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from a distance. It was the patrol team who discovered the unusual situation here.
Qi Shang was delighted. He felt that the person in front of him had a momentary disordered breathing due to panic, and then quickly fled away. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
The footsteps of the patrol team were approaching him. Qi Shang leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know that Jiang Yan was standing on the roof of an old six-story building next to him, dressed in black and hidden in the dark night, looking down at him as he was rescued by three patrolmen.

"Cousin, everything I said is true!" Qi Shang, who had been admitted to the hospital for the second time in a short period of time, had gauze covering his eyes and the left half of his face. His leg was in a cast, and he was sitting on the bed, but he still insisted on turning his head to face the bed next to him. "That person was definitely sent by Liu Yang. I'm even sure he is Zhao Qi!"
He was a fire-type mutant from their second team, who was assigned to their team after they entered the safe zone. He didn't talk much and his presence wasn't very strong.
Cheng Yuefeng remained silent, looking unhappy.
"Brother, believe me!" Qi Shang couldn't see or hear his voice at the moment, and couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Are you sure it's not the same person from last time?" Cheng Yuefeng couldn't help but ask him again to confirm.
"It's really not the case. Their abilities are different, and the person this time is much weaker. If he hadn't launched a sneak attack, I wouldn't have been controlled. He is definitely not the same person as the previous one!" Qi Shang almost raised his hand to swear to others.
Cheng Yuefeng fell silent again. Jiang Jie had been too quiet recently. So many things had happened, but he hadn't even shown up. This made him feel a little anxious.
And Liu Yang... His eyes darkened. If the other party really betrayed him at this time, then maybe he had this intention a long time ago, but just didn't seize the opportunity before.
He turned to look at Qi Shang beside him. Now the only person he could trust was this stupid guy. He closed his eyes to suppress his restless emotions.
At this moment, someone knocked twice on the door. He opened his eyes and turned to look over.
The tightly closed door was pushed half open, and the person standing outside was Liu Yang, whom they had just mentioned, and following behind him was none other than Zhao Qi.
Cheng Yuefeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
"Brother Cheng, how do you feel today?" Liu Yang walked in. When he passed by Qi Shang's bed, he glanced at him with a sneer on his lips. He really deserved it.
"Liu Yang! How dare you... Fuck!" Hearing his voice, Qi Shang wanted to jump up instantly, but he forgot that his leg was broken. It hurt so much when he moved that he fell back onto the bed.
Liu Yang thought he was still angry about the fight. Seeing his expression, he sneered, "I came to see Brother Cheng, not to see you. Why are you so anxious?"
"You still dare to ask me?!" Qi Shang leaned forward to hold his right leg. He couldn't see, so he could only judge his position by the sound. With gauze wrapped around his face, he looked really unimpressive. "Isn't this what I do..."
"A Shang." Cheng Yuefeng called out to him, interrupting him. After he shut up, he turned his gaze, pushed up his new glasses, and looked at Zhao Qi, who was standing behind him and rubbing his shoulders from time to time. "What's wrong, Xiao Zhao? Are you hurt?"
When the other person heard his question, he put down his hand and said, "It's okay. I was hit by a rock that fell from somewhere yesterday. It's not a serious injury."
"Cousin!" Qi Shang became excited instantly when he heard him say that. Yesterday, his supernatural power attacked the other party, and today this person's shoulder was injured. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Okay, stop talking for now." Cheng Yuefeng stopped him again. He really couldn't stand his noisy personality.
Liu Yang also looked at him coldly, thinking that he was acting strangely today. He thought that he might have injured his brain when he was attacked yesterday.
However, he felt that the other party deserved it and he still cared a little about it, so he came here directly after receiving the news.
Of course, he was not worried about this idiot, he just wanted to make sure whether the person who hurt him was still the same person as last time. If the other party was still targeting their second team, he would be in danger after being attacked.
"Qi Shang, did you see the person who attacked you this time?" After thinking about it, he decided to ask, even though he knew the other party would definitely mock him.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Qi Shang snorted coldly, leaned back against the headboard, raised his arms and crossed his chest, "Liu Yang, what are you pretending for!"
Liu Yang thought his inquiry was misinterpreted as fake concern, and he didn't want to argue with him at this moment. "If you have any clues, it's best to tell me. The sooner we find that person, the less danger we'll be in."
Qi Shang wanted to tell him to stop crying wolf, but his cousin had interrupted him twice, probably because he didn't want him to alert the enemy. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said impatiently, "You are blind too, can't you see that my eyes are injured? Of course I didn't see the other person's appearance!"
Liu Yang frowned when he heard that. He really couldn't figure out what that man was trying to do. Every time he attacked them, he didn't kill them, he just beat them up, as if he was doing it on purpose for someone to see.
He glanced sideways at Cheng Yuefeng and asked, "Brother Cheng, do you have any idea about this matter?"
Cheng Yuefeng looked up at the voice, and after staring at the other person for two seconds, he smiled and shook his head gently, "No, what about you? Do you have any ideas?"
Liu Yang also shook his head. He glanced at Qi Shang, who was injured but still raised his chin like a fighting cock, and looked away with disdain. "I'll ask the patrolmen later. You guys just focus on recovering."
"Okay," Cheng Yuefeng smiled at him again, "I'm injured now, so you'll be handling all the matters of the second team. Thank you for your hard work."
"Whatever Brother Cheng said is what we should do," Liu Yang smiled back, "Then I'll leave first and come to see Brother Cheng later."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to the person, without even looking at Qi Shang, and left with Zhao Qi.
After he left, the smile on Cheng Yuefeng's face fell. Since arriving in the safe zone, several special ability teams were divided. Most of the time, the other party called him captain, but just now, they kept calling him Brother Cheng.
He suddenly revealed a hint of a sneer. Sure enough, when it comes to interests, no one will remain loyal forever.
