Chapter 431 Blocking entry from the city gates
"Do I look like the kind of person who would kick someone after they've served their purpose? Since I agreed to your request and you helped me, of course I will continue to cooperate with you."
Moreover, Anmu is our common enemy, and I need your help to eliminate him.
Xia Yue responded coldly, her expression serious and resolute.
Anson smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance!"
"It's a pleasure working with you," Xia Yue replied simply.
-
Several more days passed, and Xia Yue encountered virtually no trouble along the way.
Everyone returned to the inner circle without incident.
The thought of finally having a normal place to live, with soft beds and hot food filled everyone with anticipation.
However, when they arrived near the city wall, they saw a large group of people stationed nearby, the area was full of garbage and stench, and the city gate was tightly closed. The faces of the people turned rather grim.
"What's going on? Why won't you open the door and let people in?" Xia Yue frowned slightly.
Anson said, "I'll go ask."
"I'll go with you." Xia Yue couldn't wait any longer; she just wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.
The two arrived at the foot of the city wall and found people standing on it dressed in four colors: white, black, gold, and cyan.
They represent the four major gangs on Broken Soul Island.
Xia Yue knew that these gangs, having committed so many bad deeds in the past, would definitely not give up easily this time.
There will be more troubles to come regarding the KN meteorite.
Soon, Xia Yue spotted a familiar figure at the scene.
"Shang Zexi, Brother Shen!" Xia Yue called out.
Shang Zexi turned around, saw Xia Yue, and immediately rushed over to ask, "Sister-in-law, you've finally arrived! Where's Xiangxiang? Is she with you?"
“Yes, Shen Xiangxiang is here. She’s been a little tired lately and is resting in the car. How long have you been here? Why won’t you let us in?” Xia Yue asked firmly.
"Ugh, it's so frustrating to even think about it!" Shang Zexi stomped his foot in anger.
Shen Qingyun then explained, "We arrived here yesterday, but the four major gangs wouldn't let us pass, saying we had to hand over the meteorite star."
The people here have basically all been searched by the four major gangs, and anyone who shows the slightest disobedience is immediately arrested.
"What about international organizations? Aren't they going to do anything about it?"
"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. International organizations have also been suppressed, either imprisoned or driven out of Broken Soul Island."
Moreover, they didn't bring that many people with them this time, and even if they added more outside help, they couldn't come for the time being.
This is a borderless area; if military forces are mishandled, it could easily trigger World War III.
Shen Qingyun's tone was full of helplessness when she explained.
Xia Yue hadn't expected things to be so complicated.
She then asked, "Did you see Qin Yeting?"
"Not yet. I don't know how Boss Qin is doing. If these guys get the meteorite, they probably won't be much better than Drug." Shang Zexi said helplessly.
He now realizes that all crows are black.
It's likely that international organizations are also involved in stirring up trouble in this matter.
After all, it's a joint organization with many countries involved, and everyone wants the meteorite, so no one is willing to give in.
Just as Shang Zexi finished speaking, a group of people suddenly arrived at the scene.
These people, armed with weapons, walked directly towards Xia Yue.
"Are you the leader of that new batch of people? Please come with us. We need to search your people. As long as you obediently hand over the meteorite, we won't make things difficult for you." A tattooed man carrying a long gun threatened Xia Yue.
Anson stood in front of Xia Yue and questioned the group, "What right do you have to do this? What authority do you have to stop us from entering?"
"Heh, just because this is Soul Broken Island! We, the four major gangs, call the shots!" the man replied arrogantly.
“Alright, I happen to know Helia from your Black Gold Gang. Let her come out, I’d like to have a good talk with her.” Anson had dealt with Helia a few times during previous operations.
That woman has a lot of class; she's not the kind of person who would do something like that.
A member of the Black Gold Gang sneered, "Miss Helia is a thing of the past. She was just the daughter of the former gang leader. She doesn't represent the Black Gold Gang, and she doesn't have time to bother with outsiders like you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue guessed that Helia was probably being controlled.
When this group gets ruthless, they'll even turn on their own people. This hurdle looks more troublesome than she imagined.
"Sister-in-law, these people are unreasonable. They kill without warning. Yesterday, several people resisted, and they were killed on the spot. Let's go along with them for now and not get ourselves involved," Shang Zexi advised Xia Yue, afraid that she wouldn't back down.
Xia Yue knew the situation was special, and that discretion was the better part of valor. She didn't want to risk her life for these trivial matters.
"Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate," Xia Yue replied softly.
Shang Zexi breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happens to his sister-in-law, he won't be able to explain it when Qin Laoda comes back.
And so, Xia Yue obediently cooperated with the investigation, and the four major gangs did not find the meteorite star in her team.
Even so, everyone was still trapped outside and unable to go in.
This is a huge challenge for Xia Yue's team.
Most of the team members were injured, and medical and food resources were limited. They were already struggling financially, and they hoped that things would be better once they got to the city.
As a result, the four major gangs blocked the way, refusing to let anyone in until they saw the meteorite.
After the medication ran out, the patients' injuries not only did not improve, but began to worsen.
