Chapter 683: The Escape of Sha Peng
There was no response to the muffled sound of clapping, and Fangtang kept checking the time.
"The one at Sha Peng's house can't hear it." When she arrived at Sha Peng's house, Tan Yun's dazed expression disappeared at an extremely fast speed. As if she saw hope, she stepped forward and shouted twice. Seeing no one responded, she directly directed Sun Tao to go in.
Compared with other people's simple courtyard walls or fences, Sha Peng's house seems to be afraid of being coveted by others. The height of the wall is more than three meters, and there are densely packed blades on the top of the wall to prevent people from climbing over the wall.
His explanation for this was that he was worried about leaving his family alone at home.
Thinking of the deaf and dumb person in his family, no one suspected it.
Sun Tao did not open a channel directly on the wall, which would leave energy residue. If someone took advantage of the residue he left to enter Sha Peng's house and do bad things, he would have no way to explain.
He manipulated the ground to create a staircase leading directly to the top of the wall. After he climbed over the wall, he let several people in.
"Shapeng?" It was also the first time for Tan Yun to come here, and she looked around the yard curiously.
There were two ordinary houses, one of which had a huge metal lock on its door and the other door had a gap.
In the dark and silent courtyard, there was only a little light left by the torches they held, making people feel as if they had entered a deserted place.
"Did he go out?" Mo Tiantian said as she pushed the door open and walked in.
Tan Yun didn't say anything to stop her, and was the first to hear her scream.
Several people entered quickly and were the first to smell the faint stench in the air, which immediately gave people a bad premonition.
There was not even any furniture in the empty house. After taking a look, several people covered their noses and walked towards the bedroom.
Tan Yun felt that she was older than the other children, so she walked in front. As the torch in her hand fell to the ground, she covered her mouth, pushed everyone away, ran out and vomited violently.
Cube Sugar, who was standing behind, stretched out the torch and took a look. He was naked, his body looked bloated and fat, and a strong stench emanated from him.
The deformed face can no longer be recognized from its original appearance, but it is certain that it is not Sha Peng.
"It's the one from his family," explained Tan Yun, who was holding the door frame.
"It's been more than a day or two since he died. Why didn't the Shapeng God bury him?" Mo Tiantian was puzzled.
No one else said anything, so Fangtang asked first, "Did you find anyone?"
"No".
Fangtang pursed her lips, not caring that there was a corpse lying inside, and quickly checked every corner of the house with the torch.
"What are you looking for?" Tan Yun asked.
Fang Tang shook his head and said, "I'll stay here. You go and tell Master Qi Le and see what he thinks."
Several children were unwilling to go see Qi Le alone, and Tan Yun and the other two couldn't stay alone, so in the end Fang Tang left Liang Fei here and took them on the trip herself.
Upon hearing the news that Sha Peng was missing, Qi Le's reaction was greater than he had expected. "Where are the crystal core weapons he had collected?"
Tan Yun was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Lord Mountain God asked him to be in charge of the weapons, but he collected them on his own."
"He didn't tell you?" Qi Le was incredulous.
"We are responsible for different directions."
"Ha, different directions..." The words spoken in a calm tone gave people a sense of irony.
Tan Yun had been highly respected since she became a divine envoy. She had never been treated like this before and was immediately displeased. "Master Qi Le, you control the families of all the superpowers. Are you trying to rebel?"
"Yes," Qi Le admitted frankly with a smile, leaving Tan Yun with the next words stuck in her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing that she was so angry but couldn't say a word and could only stare at him without saying a word, Qi Le suddenly felt bored.
Thinking of the crystal core weapons that might have been taken away by Sha Peng, Qi Le couldn't even keep the smile on his face. "Your best quality is that you are obedient. I hope you can continue to do so in the future. After all..."
"We work together, and I don't want to be cruel. You... probably don't want your family to suffer, right?"
"..." Tan Yun gritted her teeth in anger, but in the end she only said, "Lord Mountain God will not let you go."
This meaningless sentence had no effect on Qi Le at all, and also shattered Fang Tang's last bit of hope for her.
Qi Le stood up and said he wanted to go check on Sha Peng's family. The man following him immediately followed, and even Fang Tang fell behind by a step.
Tan Yun seemed to have just noticed a strange face, "Who is this?"
As the torch approached, Tan Yun had no idea what she saw and took two steps back in shock. Qi Le looked back at her with a smile, but they didn't say anything. However, Tan Yun was once again in a trance of fear.
On the way, Qi Le asked about the situation at Sha Peng's home. He learned that the mute who was with him had died. Qi Le frowned slightly, "Have you checked the cause of his death? How could someone who was healthy a few months ago die so soon?"
These people with special abilities were selected by the Mountain God Base so that they can be controlled easily in case of any accidents today. The physical conditions of their family members have all been checked, so it is unlikely that they will not be able to survive for a while.
“…Sorry, Master, I don’t know how,” Fang Tang said with his head down.
Qi Le made a "tsk" sound and looked at the other children around him. He felt that he could not rely on them. He thought that he should promote some capable adults, but now he had to do it himself.
When he entered the shabby room, he saw the person lying on the bed at a glance. He seemed to be unable to smell the smell in the air, and his expression did not change at all.
The man following him didn't show any change in expression. What's worse, Fang Tang observed him all the way and found that he moved in a very methodical manner, even stiff. The expression on his face didn't change at all. He was not even sure if he had blinked.
He really wanted to ask Tan Yun what she saw, but now was obviously not the right time.
"Go and investigate where Sha Peng went after returning," Qi Le gave the order to Tan Yun, then turned to Fang Tang and said, "Turn this place over and search it again. Don't miss a single inch of land."
"Yes," Sugar Cube responded, placing the torch in his hand on the bracket on the wall.
The moment he turned to leave, he saw Qi Le reaching out to pull something that was pressed under the person on the bed. There was a slight tearing sound that was almost inaudible in the darkness, and then a loud "bang" exploded in the room.
With the corner of his eye, Cube Tang saw the person lying on the bed explode, his thin layer of skin split into four pieces, and the mucus and dirt inside sprayed in all directions. The smell in the air gave him a headache.
He only had time to build a metal defense plate in front of him to avoid being touched by the sprayed objects, but a streak of fire in the room suddenly expanded as if strengthened by the power of a fire-type mutant, and once again a huge "bang" was heard.
The explosion blew the entire room into pieces and alarmed nearby neighbors, who rushed to help. The work that had been carried out quietly could not be continued for a while.
Qi Le, who was dug out from the ruins, had many injuries on his face and body, and looked extremely miserable. This made him extremely angry, and he didn't even want to hide his usual image.
Fortunately, they still had a trace of rationality and did not say what they were doing. Instead, they explained to everyone that Sha Peng had taken away the newly collected crystal core guns from the base and set a trap in the room with the bodies of his family members.
"This... there shouldn't be any misunderstanding, right? The messenger Shapeng doesn't seem to talk much, but he is very good to his lover and never asks him to do housework."
"Yes, everyone was reclaiming land and growing vegetables near the yard. The messenger of Sha Peng said that his wife was in poor health, so he gave the land to me to grow vegetables."
"But I've never seen his lover go out alone. Have you ever seen it?"
"You're deaf and dumb, so you don't go out for safety, right?"
Qi Le was injured and Mo Tiantian was treating him. Everyone in the yard was talking about it and seemed to be unconvinced.
It was a middle-aged woman who lives next door who spoke up, "Maybe it's to better control the detention."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over and heard the man say, "To be honest, I have seen that man before. He lived under the water bridge before the Panshui base was moved underground."
"Shuiqiaodong, aren't all the people living under there beggars?"
"Yeah, I'm not mistaken, am I?"
The woman shook her head. "Probably not. At that time, my husband was still alive and our family was doing well. One time I passed by and saw him being surrounded by several people fighting for a whole-grain cake. I helped him and gave him a corn cake."
"I remember that he fled with us when the Panshui base was destroyed. At that time, I was amazed at his luck. After arriving at the Shanshen base, my son had not yet developed superpowers, and our family was not living well. I was so hungry that I ate grass stems, but he still gave me two corns."
The woman finally concluded, "I will definitely not admit my mistake."
"Then how did he become the lover of the Shapeng envoy?"
"Could it be that they knew each other before the end of the world? Beggars are not beggars from the beginning."
"No way, the Sha Peng Divine Envoy used to be from Fulu Village. It is said that he has been living in the mountains since the end of the world..."
"Where do you think he lives after the end of the world?" Qi Le suddenly spoke up, interrupting the person who was speaking.
"In the mountains, Fulu Village is not far from Changshou Village. He has been living there since the end of the world. It used to be a developed cave scenic area. It is said that there is a section that has been well preserved after the end of the world. He lives there alone."
Qi Le's face became darker and darker, and he asked with gritted teeth, "How did you know?"
"After he came down the mountain, he went to live with a relative. That person happened to be my neighbor. I heard him mention him before. It's a pity that person died while fleeing, otherwise maybe I could have established a relationship with the Lord Messenger of God." The person who spoke had a tone full of regret.
"When did he appear at the base?" Qi Le asked.
"...I don't remember clearly, but the Panshui base will not be far from being destroyed." The man said in an exaggerated tone, as if he was showing off how much he knew.
"Don't look at the fact that the envoy of God had no special powers before. His family is an old hunter. He inherited his family's skills and has great strength. At that time, he went down the mountain alone and brought a wild boar to my neighbor."
"Hand-made weapons and setting traps are so easy..."
With a loud "bang", the wooden table that Qi Le had temporarily moved out was broken into two pieces after he slammed it hard. The wounds on his body had just been healed, but new wounds appeared on his hands.
Blood dripped from his fist, and with his gloomy face, the surroundings suddenly became silent.
