Chapter 182 Zhao Yu is captured
Qin Zhuo performed a swift and graceful flip, leaping off the motorcycle and landing firmly on his feet.
He looked up and saw that the mountain not far away was engulfed in flames, the firelight reddening half the sky, and many people and zombies were already there putting out the fire.
Qin Zhuo frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.
This sudden fire was most likely caused by Zhao Yu. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
His most pressing task right now is to find Zhao Yu, the culprit.
Who knows what other trouble he might cause?
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu, having set the fire, returned to the foot of the mountain and hid behind a large, leafy tree not far away, secretly watching the area engulfed in flames.
A smug smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed.
Zhao Yu turned around, preparing to leave quietly.
Now is the perfect opportunity for him to escape from Peach Blossom Base amidst the chaos.
They were all busy putting out the fire, and no one cared about him anymore.
However, the moment he turned around, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Qin Zhuo stood behind him, her eyes cold.
"Found you!"
"you……"
Before Zhao Yu could finish speaking, Qin Zhuo threw a punch without hesitation, landing heavily on Zhao Yu's face.
Zhao Yu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Looking at Zhao Yu lying unconscious on the ground, Qin Zhuo felt an overwhelming surge of anger.
"I never expected you could cause such a big problem!"
He tied Zhao Yu up tightly with hemp rope and then stuffed him into a sturdy burlap sack.
As for the hemp ropes and sacks, Qin Zhuo found them by chance on the motorcycle.
He wondered to himself why Yuka would prepare these things, but he had no time to think about it at the moment.
Qin Zhuo dragged the heavy sack step by step to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Youxiang and Chen Yunfei also rushed to the scene.
Chen Yunfei is now a zombie who doesn't need to sleep. He heard Youxiang about to go out, and after learning what had happened, he followed without hesitation, thinking about whether he could help in any way.
Youxiang immediately noticed Qin Zhuo and the burlap sack he was dragging, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's in that burlap sack? Where's Zhao Yu?"
Qin Zhuo pointed to the sack, "Zhao Yu is in the sack, I knocked him unconscious."
Chen Yunfei looked at the mountains that were still burning fiercely, a worried expression on his face.
"I didn't expect the fire to get so big. All the food and crops planted on the mountain are definitely doomed. Does that mean we're facing a food shortage? There are so many humans and zombies in the base. What will we do if we run out of food?"
Without food, the internal stability of Peach Blossom Base will be severely threatened.
Even more seriously, once the zombies lose their main food source, the Corpse Fruit, they may become restless and even attack humans.
At that time, the already fragile balance between humans and zombies within the base will be completely shattered.
Zhao Yu's move was extremely insidious, and its impact was also extremely significant.
Yu Xiang remained relatively calm after hearing Chen Yunfei's words.
"Brother Chen, you don't need to worry about that. Our most important thing right now is to put out the fire."
With that, she started walking up the mountain.
Qin Zhuo pointed to the sack on the ground and instructed Chen Yunfei, "Keep an eye on this man, don't let him get away!"
After saying that, he quickly caught up with Youxiang, and the two of them walked up the mountain together.
Chen Yunfei glanced at the burlap sack lying quietly on the ground, then slowly raised his head and looked at the two figures that had already left.
No, why is he the one guarding Zhao Yu here?
He also thought about going up the mountain to see what the situation was like there, and maybe he could be of some help.
...
The higher you go up the mountain, the more intense the heat becomes. The high temperature emanating from the flames tightly envelops everything around you, making it difficult to breathe.
Yuxiang was walking along when she suddenly stopped and turned around.
Looking at Qin Zhuo's face, flushed from the heat and covered with fine beads of sweat, she said with some concern, "Zhuozhuo, why don't you wait downstairs like Brother Chen? It's quite hot and dangerous. I'm a water-based ability user, so I can help, but your ability won't be of much use."
Qin Zhuo didn't speak, but silently held Youxiang's hand.
He showed Yuka his answer through his actions.
He wanted to walk alongside her and wouldn't go down the mountain.
Yu Xiang looked at the hand that Qin Zhuo was holding tightly, and her eyes instantly filled with a smile, a smile like a flower blooming in spring.
With a gentle wave of her hand, a pale blue dome, shimmering with a subtle watery light, instantly enveloped the two of them.
Under the control of the grapefruit fragrance, the water inside the cover is cleverly kept at a constant temperature, maintaining a perfect balance.
In an instant, the unbearable heat vanished without a trace, and the temperature dropped dramatically.
At this moment, Zhou Guang, who saw Youxiang, rushed over with a look of anxiety on his face. "Lord, you've come! This fire is too big. It can't be put out in a short time. Almost all the plants are dead."
Yu Xiang nodded slightly, signaling Zhou Guang to also enter the protective shield, and then waved her hand again.
A large patch of dark clouds quickly gathered, becoming oppressive and obscuring the starlight that had filled the sky.
Soon, the raindrops began to fall, making a "drip-drip" sound as they hit the ground.
Then, the rain intensified, pouring down like a torrential downpour, forming dense curtains of rain.
Thanks to this timely rain, the fire on the mountain was quickly extinguished, leaving only wisps of smoke to tell the story of the great fire that had just occurred.
Qin Zhuo stood in the rain, gazing at the downpour summoned by the fragrance of pomelo, and couldn't help but admire it inwardly.
Little Yuzu is becoming more and more adept and powerful in using her superpowers.
Meanwhile, Chen Yunfei, who was at the foot of the mountain, was suddenly drenched by the rain.
Chen Yunfei, dragging the sack containing Zhao Yu, finally managed to reach a nearby rooftop to take shelter from the rain.
He wiped the rain off his face vigorously, muttering, "Why did it suddenly start raining? But this rain is just in time; it'll put out the fire."
He was completely unaware that the seemingly still burlap sack at his feet was undergoing subtle changes.
One corner of the burlap sack had quietly begun to burn, emitting wisps of faint blue smoke.
