"Bang, bang, bang!" The courtyard door was slammed loudly, and Ah He's hoarse shout penetrated the door: "Miss Lu! Something happened!"
Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici looked at each other, opened the door and rushed out.
Ah He was soaked, his hair stuck to his pale face, his chest heaving violently: "Ms. Lu... you, your friends... are in the mission center..."
She suddenly choked and coughed: "We had a fight with the people in the red-label area!"
"What?" The water cup in Gu Wan's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
Ah He supported her knees and cried, "When I left... they were all injured!"
Chi Yanzhou frowned slightly: "Wang?"
The group closed the door and ran towards the mission center.
Before turning the last corner, three staggering figures came into view - He Zhuo's left arm hung unnaturally, Gu Qi's face was covered in blood, and Chi Yi was limping and carrying two people, and the three's clothes were stained dark red.
"Brother!" Gu Wan rushed forward: "Where are you hurt?"
Gu Qi: "It's okay, just a superficial wound." He turned to Chi Yanzhou and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Yan, Old Ji was captured by them!"
Chi Yanzhou: "You guys go back and take care of your injuries first, Brother Ci and I will go take a look."
Chi Yi: "Master, they stole the mission materials we brought with us, and asked us to take five or ten level one crystal cores to the red label area to exchange people."
He Zhuo held his dislocated arm, gasping in pain: "Brother Yan...that group of bastards...more than a dozen of them beat up the four of us...surrounded us and beat us up, and they even used dirty tricks..."
Ah He suddenly interrupted, "It's Ding Feng's man, Miss Lu, you have to prepare the crystal core before you go to see him, otherwise he will kill your friends right in front of you. He always did that before..."
Lu Nange: "Ding Feng? The father of the man in sunglasses? It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road."
Wen Qing's healing ability cannot be exposed, as there are crowds of people around and many eyes are on him.
Chi Yanzhou said: "Go back and heal your wounds first, then we'll go to the Red Label District to get people!"
In the closed bedroom, Wen Qing finally let go.
A light halo ripples across the palm of your hand like water waves.
Gangzi was asked to squat on the windowsill to release the cold air and cool down the bedroom.
In the living room, Ah He twisted the corner of his clothes and said, "The boss of our base is called Zhou Muyun, but Zhou Muyun rarely appears in the public eye.
Things at the base are usually handled by Ding Feng, who also has a son named Ding Luo, and the two sons are overbearing and domineering.
There were many new survivors, all of whom were snatched away by Ding Feng, but in the end nothing happened.
That’s all I know, and I’m not particularly clear about the rest.”
Lu Nange gave Ah He two crystal cores: "Thank you for coming to give us the news, you leave first."
Ah He: "Ms. Lu, I can take you to the red label area."
Lu Nange: "You just said that anyone with a Level 2 ability can directly enter the Red Label Zone. We can just go there by ourselves. If something goes wrong, we can leave and it won't affect you."
Ah He held the crystal core, bowed, thanked him, and left.
The door creaked open and He Zhuo and his companions walked out.
The wounds on his body had healed, and only the dried blood on his clothes still bore witness to the previous tragedy.
Everyone gathered around immediately.
He Zhuo: "We just stepped into the mission hall and didn't even have time to take out the mission list - those shameless people started to grab the supplies!"
Gu Qi added with a gloomy face: "The patrol team in the morning stood by and watched the whole process. When the people in the hall saw that the situation was not good, they ran away."
"More than a dozen people with super powers, and they didn't even have an opening line." He Zhuo's knuckles turned white. "The super powers just attacked us head-on.
Of course we had to fight back! But just as we were fighting back, two supernatural beings put knives to Old Ji's throat—telling us to stop.
After we stopped, we handed over all the supplies, but they still didn't let Lao Ji go.
He beat us up, and took advantage of the chaos to take Old Ji away.
He also told us to bring five crystal cores to exchange for Old Ji before tonight, otherwise we would be waiting for him to collect our corpses."
Chi Yanzhou stood up: "Let's go!"
He Zhuo: "Where are you going?"
Lu Xici: "Help!"
......
On the other side, Ji Xian was roughly thrown into a room full of torture instruments.
The door slammed shut behind him, and the smell of blood immediately filled his nose.
With the flickering firelight on the wall, he could see clearly that the surroundings were full of rusty torture instruments - iron hooks, steel needles, and leather whips with barbs, each of which was dark brown.
Two strong men dragged Ji Xian to the center of the room, and the iron chains rattled.
His wrists were tied with rough hemp ropes, and his entire body was tied to a wooden rack in the shape of a cross.
The dull sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a strong man as tall as an iron tower stepped in, instantly blocking out most of the already dim firelight.
His shadow completely engulfed the bound Ji Xian.
The man casually took down the whip from the wall.
"Snap!"
The first whip hit his chest, tearing his skin and flesh.
"Where did it come from?" The man bent down and approached Ji Xian, and the smell of alcohol mixed with stench sprayed on Ji Xian's face.
Ji Xian lowered his head, with blood dripping down his chin.
"Snap!"
The second whip landed precisely on the wound.
Ji Xian's muscles spasmed due to the severe pain, but even his eyelashes did not tremble.
The whip shadow rises again.
"Snap! Snap!"
Two bloodstains formed a cross on Ji Xian's chest.
Torn cloth clung to the tumbled flesh.
"How many people are there in your team?" The man lifted Ji Xian's chin with the handle of the whip: "What are your superpowers?"
Ji Xian spat at him: "None of your business!"
