Chapter 256 Shen Jiaojiao is caught in the crossfire
Yang Qi cursed loudly, but before he could finish his sentence, he was sent flying by Ye Long, who was bathed in flames.
The enormous impact caused sparks to fly everywhere.
This fire is different from natural fire; it is more damaging and greatly increases the difficulty of escaping it.
Shen Jiaojiao and Rong Muchen didn't hide far enough and were still affected.
While dodging, Rong Muchen had already exposed his turtle shell, and only a few spots on his arm were burned, so it wasn't a big problem.
It was Shen Jiaojiao who was unlucky.
She thought that if she fled backwards, Yang Qi would block her way and she would be safe.
Little did she know that Ye Long's attack was extremely powerful. The trajectory of the impact covered her, and many of the sparks that flew out were shot towards her.
A piercing scream rang out as Shen Jiaojiao's head, face, and upper body were ignited by flying flames, and her entire body instantly burst into flames.
Rong Muchen, who was staring at her, was terrified. He was about to step over to help, but he quickly pulled his leg back, his face showing a cold expression.
Forget it, why would he save such a selfish woman who likes to sow discord?
At this moment, Rong Muchen even maliciously thought that most of the bad luck he had encountered along the way was caused by Shen Jiaojiao's arrival.
If it weren't for her, the Shen family wouldn't have suffered such a misfortune, and Lin Muyan would still be his obedient woman, completely devoted to him.
She died. Although she lost an upgradeable movement space, she also lost a major problem. In comparison, the loss was not significant.
"Ahhh, help me, help me..."
Shen Jiaojiao was burned beyond recognition and rolled around on the ground.
She could clearly feel the flames searing her skin; she was going to be disfigured!
Panic and fear grew within her, and she instantly waved to the crowd.
"Someone save me! I am a space ability user, a noble space ability user! You can't treat me like this!"
But as soon as Chen Jiaojiao finished speaking, one of Ye Long's underlings sneered.
"Noble? It's the apocalypse, how can there still be fools? Do they really think they're princesses?"
"If you don't have the life of a princess, don't act like one. Someone like you, even if you were a space ability user, would only be a burden."
"Furthermore, aren't you overestimating your own usefulness? Don't you know that spatial ability users must devour crystal cores of the same type in order to expand the size of their space?"
Do you know how hard it is to find space-system crystal cores?
These sarcastic remarks struck Shen Jiaojiao like a bolt from the blue.
She was trembling uncontrollably, whether from the fact that someone had hit the nail on the head or from the pain.
Yang Qi was already unconscious from being hit by Ye Long, so he naturally didn't hear anything. However, his underlings covered their wounds while glaring fiercely at Shen Jiaojiao.
"You filthy bitch! You tricked my brother into thinking you were special, but you're just a money-loser after all!"
"A crystal core of the space system? I've never even heard of it before. No wonder your space is pitifully small."
"You were the one who instigated Big Brother to fight Ye Long and the others, weren't you? You vile bitch, you have such a vicious heart!"
"..."
The underlings suffered losses in the fight and blamed everything on Shen Jiaojiao.
They were genuinely furious, and their gazes towards Shen Jiaojiao shifted from initial respect to ruthlessness.
In just two days, this woman managed to completely charm her older brother with her sweet talk.
She said, "Brother Yang, as our team grows stronger, many more powerful people will come to join us."
"Does the Lord of Doomsday Fortress really think she's some kind of savior? She actually rejected us. Let her see how we, these so-called undocumented immigrants, can overthrow them!"
“In the future, we will seize countless resources from those people in the Doomsday Fortress, and my space will prevent food from spoiling and ensure that consumable supplies never expire.”
"In the future, let's join forces and become the masters of this apocalypse!"
Yang Qi was poorly educated and quite arrogant, so he and Shen Jiaojiao hit it off almost immediately.
"You're utterly useless! You're the one who caused my brother's serious injuries!"
Yang Qi was almost dead, and his men had also suffered heavy losses.
They helped each other and took Yang Qi away with them.
Having failed to seize the territory, they had no choice but to flee in disarray.
Rong Muchen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed.
Yang Qi only denied Shen Jiaojiao's value, without mentioning him; he can still stay in the team.
He originally wanted to find a new place to stay, but now it seems that this area has been occupied by Ye Long, and Ye Long is unlikely to accept him. For now, he can only continue to follow Yang Qi and wait for a better opportunity.
As for Shen Jiaojiao, whether she lives or dies is none of his business. It's better that she's dead, so she won't come back to cause him trouble.
Shen Jiaojiao had already extinguished the flames on her body by rolling around on the ground.
But half of her face was severely burned, her hair was burned off, and she had many burns on her body, making her look extremely disheveled.
Seeing Rong Muchen and Yang Qi's gang abandon her like this, Shen Jiaojiao felt both resentful and terrified.
Ye Long didn't even glance at Shen Jiaojiao before leading his men to claim their territory at the furniture design gallery.
Just then, Shen Jiaojiao, with strength and courage from who knows where, rolled over to Ye Long and started kowtowing to him repeatedly.
At that moment, she didn't care about dignity or face; all she wanted was to survive.
Lin Muyan looked down at her and sighed, pursing her lips.
This ending was truly unexpected. But it's all her own doing; she has no one else to blame.
I originally thought Rong Muchen would at least care whether she lived or died, but now even he's distancing himself from her. I'm afraid Shen Jiaojiao won't be able to get over this.
Rong Muchen is no good person; how can you expect a scoundrel to have a change of heart? It's perfectly normal for him to abandon Shen Jiaojiao and leave.
[Ye Long is quite skilled. I don't know what he's thinking, preferring to stay out here. If he were to join the Doomsday Fortress, he'd definitely be a member of the wealthy neighborhood in three years.]
Everyone has their own ambitions, and not everyone is afraid of death. He wants to carve out his own path in this apocalyptic world, and I think that's great.
"I, I am a space-type ability user. I am very useful. If you save me, I am willing to give you half of my space for free."
Shen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and gave the terms of the exchange.
She endured the pain and looked up at Ye Long. This man was very powerful. If she could get close to him, it would be a good idea.
[Frog Fun, even on the verge of death, she's still so arrogant. Is half of her space really that valuable? It's hilarious.]
If I remember correctly, her current space is five cubic meters, right? Usually it's only two and a half cubic meters. My goodness, what can that hold, hahaha!
She still thinks she's amazing, it's unbelievable. Where does she get that confidence from? Sometimes I really envy shameless and arrogant people like that. They live so arrogantly, isn't it satisfying?
I don't know if it was enjoyable or not, but it was definitely infuriating.
In other people's eyes, she might just be a clown...
