Chapter 139 The Villa District Across the Street
When the three Lu siblings returned from their bath, none of them mentioned the cup of black water.
Before going to sleep, everyone would casually pass by Lu Nange's side.
"Keep the good stuff for yourself in the future..."
"We're tough and don't need..."
"Don't always think about sharing with us..."
Before Lu Nange could speak, they covered their ears and ran away as if fleeing, their backs radiating resistance as if saying, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."
Lu Nange...
After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Nange and her group were ready to go to bed for a nap.
In the villa area opposite the group.
The flickering candlelight cast long shadows on the mottled walls, and a group of men, women, and children paced anxiously back and forth in the hall.
The wooden floorboards creaked underfoot until the door was suddenly flung open—four or five men staggered in, carrying a bloodied figure.
The bandages haphazardly wrapped around the severed arm of the bloodied man were already soaked with blood.
The gate was closed, and Lao Yu and the others did not see it. A group of people hid in the shadows to the side of the gate.
"Lai Cheng!" Old Yu rushed forward, his eyes bloodshot. "How did you get injured like this?"
Old Yu looked behind everyone and asked, "Where's Xuanxuan?"
With a "thud," the man, his face covered in blood, collapsed to his knees.
The young man supporting him said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Yu...we're so sorry..."
"Those bastards, Xiong Chao and his gang!" Lai Cheng slammed his remaining right hand into the ground. "They kidnapped Xuanxuan and the others!"
Old Yu swayed, his left arm instinctively gripping the corner of the table: "Xuanxuan, she...?"
The room erupted in uproar.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses behind Lao Yu asked, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"
Another young man, his face covered in scrapes, tears mingling with blood, cried out, "We...we were looking for supplies in the old town when Xiong Chao and his gang of bastards suddenly surrounded us from behind...that idiot Chen Qian was so scared her legs went weak and she fell right into Xiong Chao's arms..."
He slapped his face hard: "That bastard touched Chen Qian's face and said, 'Such a fair-skinned little wench, let's take her back and have some fun with the brothers'... Sister Xuan and Xu E went to snatch her away, but they were both taken away..."
"There were too many of them. Lai Cheng's arm was chopped off when he tried to stop them."
Before he could finish speaking, Lao Yu had already overturned the entire coffee table.
Amidst the shattering sound of glass, his expression was fierce: "Xiong Han... if you dare lay a finger on my daughter, I'll chop you to pieces and feed you to the zombies!"
The bespectacled middle-aged man pressed down on Lao Yu's arm, where veins were bulging: "Brother Yu, calm down! It'll be dawn in an hour and a half at most, and the surface temperature will exceed 45 degrees Celsius. Within three hours, it'll be like an oven outside. We need to rescue people... We have to set off now."
A balding man wiped the sweat from his brow, his voice hesitant: "Xiong Chao and his gang are all crazy guys who just got out of prison. They're all fearless. Even if we get there, we probably can't save Xuanxuan, right?"
The bespectacled middle-aged man grabbed the balding man's collar: "Sun Bin, Brother Yu has never treated your family badly. Your son's life was saved by Brother Yu and Xuanxuan. Now you don't want to save Xuanxuan anymore?"
Sun Bin struggled, his face pale: "Luo Di, don't make false accusations. I'm just stating the facts, stop making a mountain out of a molehill."
The young man, his face covered in blood, suddenly looked up: "Uncle Yu, didn't you say that group of newcomers is very powerful? Can we ask them for help to save Sister Xuanxuan?"
Lai Cheng pressed his remaining right hand tightly against his severed arm, blood seeping from between his fingers, the pain causing the veins on his forehead to bulge: "Cough, second brother, I told you, we don't know them at all. Why would they help us for no reason?"
Luo Di: "Lai Cheng, stop talking. Where's Dr. Wu? Xiao Xu, go check on him. Why hasn't Dr. Wu come over yet?"
Second Brother: "Brother Lai Cheng, but Xiao Wu has already told Xiong Chao that a stunningly beautiful woman has arrived at our base, and she even said she'd help us get back! Otherwise, why would Xiong Chao have let us come back?"
Everyone looked at the young man huddled in the shadows.
Xiao Wu shrank back: "I had no choice. Xiong Chao wanted to kill us, and Lai Cheng's arm was broken, so he fainted from the pain. Xiong Chao's group are the type who won't act until they see a clear benefit. If it weren't for the new group that came with a room full of supplies and a celestial beauty, they wouldn't have let us go."
Old Yu: "You're asking for it! Do you think those people are easy to mess with?"
"No...they're just passing by, aren't they?" Xiao Wu swallowed hard. "Uncle Yu, didn't you say they might have abilities higher than a level three superpower? Let them fight Xiong Chao like dogs!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke: "Xiong Chao died, and we rescued him. We've rid Shunshi of a scourge. Those guys are dead..." He shrugged: "What does that have to do with us? We don't even know each other..."
