Chapter 189 Shifting Circumstances
"Smack—"
With a dull thud, Situ Mu was violently pushed off the wall.
His body arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, instantly turning into a bloody mess, a gruesome sight, with blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere.
Ye Yufan glanced at Situ Mu, who lay dead with his eyes wide open under the wall, as if still harboring the fear and resentment he felt in life.
He silently looked away and clenched his fist.
This is so frustrating!
He cursed inwardly, but then he thought that killing someone was quite simple, nothing special.
The twisted Ye Yufan seemed to have opened a door to something, finding a strange pleasure in killing.
Yuka stood aside, looking at the pile of minced meat, her eyes showing no pity whatsoever.
She looked at Ye Yufan, "The second thing is that I need compensation from your base."
Ye Yufan was taken aback at first, then frowned and asked in confusion, "Compensation?"
Yu Xiang nodded vigorously, crossed her arms, and said righteously, "Back then, your Bright Base hunted me down, causing immense physical and mental harm to me and my companions. Doesn't that deserve compensation? You can't just bully people and corpses like this!"
Ye Yufan argued, "That was my father's order. What does it have to do with me? He's already dead."
"Haven't you heard of children paying for their fathers' debts? Are you going to pay or not? If not, I won't be polite."
As she spoke, Youxiang winked at Du Rong, who was standing to the side.
Du Rong understood immediately and turned to face the group behind her.
She raised her hand high and held up a bright flag, which fluttered in the wind.
As soon as Yuxiang gives the order, she will lead her team into a full-scale attack, as if she wants to raze the entire Bright Base to the ground.
This is Youxiang's blatant threat to Ye Yufan.
Seeing this, Ye Yufan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, but in order to stabilize the situation, he immediately said, "Give it to me, give it to me right away. What kind of compensation do you want?"
Yuka raised an eyebrow, a smug smile playing on her lips.
They're quite tolerant!
She wanted to see how long Ye Yufan could endure it.
So, Yuxiang slowly listed her compensation demands one by one, from weapons and ammunition to food and medicine, and materials that could be used to build defensive fortifications. Each one made Ye Yufan's face grow increasingly grim.
A dozen minutes later, Yuka finally finished speaking.
She took the Corpse Fruit Tea that Qin Zhuo thoughtfully handed her, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then said casually, "Let's leave it at that for now."
What do you mean by "that's it for now"?
Do you mean you want more later?
Ye Yufan roared inwardly.
He knew Yu Xiang would ask for an exorbitant price, but who would have thought it would be even more outrageous, practically driving him to the brink of despair.
He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and cautiously asked, "Isn't this too much?"
Yu Xiang put the cup down. "Is this too much? I think it's too little."
She had already been very restrained; the items she wanted were less than one-twentieth of her entire game inventory.
"Too little!" Ye Yufan exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling with excitement. "This is too little? You might as well just let me give you the base."
Yuka's eyes lit up. "Then give it to me. This was the third condition I was going to mention. Since you said it first, I won't repeat it."
Ye Yufan was trembling with anger, pointing at Youxiang, "Youxiang, don't go too far."
Yuka raised her head and said, "I went too far! You all bullied me back then, and now you have to pay the price!"
Ye Yufan's face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared, "What use is a human base to you as a zombie? You already have one!"
Yu Xiang snorted coldly, "I'm happy to do what I want, and it's none of your business! I can do whatever I want, so stop pointing fingers at me."
Ye Yufan's chest heaved violently from the smell of grapefruit, as if a lump of air was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out.
His teeth were grinding so hard they were practically shattering, making a "crunching" sound. His face was contorted like a demon's, and his eyes were burning with fury.
Seeing Ye Yufan so angry with her, Youxiang couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head smugly.
She tugged at Qin Zhuo's sleeve, "Zhuozhuo, look at Ye Yufan's face, it's so funny, hahaha..."
"Boss, watch out!"
Just then, Du Rong suddenly cried out in alarm, and the entire corpse ran towards Youxiang.
Yu Xiang reacted extremely quickly, releasing Qin Zhuo's sleeve and then sidestepping, barely dodging Qin Zhuo's sneak attack.
However, the dagger in Qin Zhuo's hand still managed to tear a little of Youxiang's clothes.
Du Rong looked at Youxiang with concern, "Boss, are you alright?"
Yuxiang shook her head, then looked at Qin Zhuo, who was standing motionless with a dagger in his hand, with a puzzled expression. "Zhuozhuo?"
But Qin Zhuo's eyes were empty at this moment, like a puppet being manipulated, completely unable to hear Youxiang's words, mechanically carrying out orders.
Upon seeing this, the people brought by Youxiang became tense, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to attack Qin Zhuo.
"Don't move! No one can hurt him!"
Yuka quickly reached out to stop her.
She looked up at Ye Yufan, her eyes turning sharp. "Ye Yufan, release Zhuozhuo from your mental control."
Youxiang was very familiar with Qin Zhuo's state; Qiao Yan had once been controlled and attacked by Bai Chi.
Ye Yufan was just regretting that he had failed to control Qin Zhuo to ambush Youxiang. Hearing this commanding statement, he curled up a disdainful smile and said contemptuously, "Miss Youxiang, the initiative is not in your hands now. Please recognize the situation."
Yu Xiang clenched her fist and said, "Zhuo Zhuo can't beat me. I can control him in a few moves and prevent him from attacking me. Don't think that controlling him will make you a threat to me."
In the past, Youxiang would not have been able to beat Qin Zhuo, after all, Qin Zhuo was agile and strong.
But now, through continuous training and growth, her strength has surpassed Qin Zhuo's.
Ye Yufan remained calm and said slowly, "I didn't intend for him to beat you, but I can make him commit suicide. At that time, no matter how strong you are, you can only watch him die in front of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhuo dropped the dagger in his hand, slowly drew his gun, cocked it with a "click," and then pressed the gun against his forehead without hesitation.
Ye Yufan crossed his arms and continued, "If you don't want him to die, then hand over your Peach Blossom Base to me. Otherwise, you can just wait to collect his corpse."
