At this point, she smiled and said, "However, now that you have joined the rejuvenation of China, all the hardships are over. Don't worry, good days are just around the corner."
Chen Xian couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is Fuxing City like?"
With her eyes shining, Liu Manman exclaimed, "That place is a paradise you can't even imagine after the disaster."
......
Inside an underground cave.
The area, which originally belonged to everyone, was now filled with an unusually heavy atmosphere.
Hundreds of people sat around here, glancing at the very center of the cave from time to time.
There, the short, stocky Wei the Cripple was tied to a tree stump.
It was winter, yet he was stripped naked, covered in whip marks, and on the verge of death.
But these are not the most critical injuries.
He had wounds on his abdomen and legs, which were just hastily bandaged and looked gruesome.
If it weren't for the fact that the physical condition of ordinary people has improved to some extent since the disaster, Wei the Cripple might have already died.
In their eyes, there was pity, sympathy, schadenfreude, hatred, and mockery...
Since Zhou Ming and Chen Xian escaped, Li Shengqiang has seemed to have gone mad, venting his anger on others from time to time.
Many people suffered as a result.
But they all dared not speak out against their anger.
This is simply because Li Shengqiang is the second evolved being besides the leader.
He was also the leader's true confidant.
Two days ago, someone raised a question, saying that Zhou Ming and Chen Xian were likely released by Wei the Cripple.
After all, Wei the Cripple and Zhou Ming usually had a fairly good relationship.
The injuries on Wei the Cripple's body were likely self-inflicted, a ruse.
Li Shengqiang then flew into a rage and vented all his anger on Wei the Cripple.
This also relieved the others inside the cave.
Suddenly, the door woven from iron vines opened at the entrance of the cave.
Leader Chen Wenhao and Li Shengqiang and others walked in.
Li Shengqiang held a leather whip in his hand, his face contorted with rage as he glared at Wei the Cripple, and roared, "Wei the Cripple, I'll ask you one last time! Where did Zhou Ming and Lin Xian go?!"
Wei the Cripple didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. Clinging to life, his voice hoarse and weak, he said, "Brother Qiang... I really don't know... I didn't let them go... I fainted... I passed out... please... please spare me..."
Li Shengqiang's eyes grew even fiercer. He stopped talking, took the leather whip, and lashed Wei the Cripple again and again.
The dull thud of the whip striking flesh mingled with Wei the Cripple's weak wails, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.
As Li Shengqiang smoked, he roared with a ferocious expression, "I'll teach you to let them get away! I'll teach you to let my wife get away!"
Chen Wenhao stood aside, observing coldly.
He was playing with a small knife made from the claw of a mutated rooster.
This thing is harder than steel; it can cut through steel.
It's just a bit short.
As the leader, he needs a strong person like Li Shengqiang to work with him.
He didn't care whether Wei the Cripple lived or died.
Having lived this long, he has come to fully understand that ordinary people play an increasingly smaller role in such disasters.
The future is destined to be a world of evolvers.
"Bang!"
A loud crash came from the doorway, interrupting Li Shengqiang's roar.
Everyone stared in astonishment.
The subway entrance door, woven with vines, was violently pushed down from the outside, kicking up clouds of dust.
Amidst the smoke and dust, several figures slowly walked in.
When the person who came into view was seen, the entire cave became eerily quiet.
Zhou Ming and Chen Xian stood side by side.
Several soldiers in camouflage combat uniforms followed beside the two of them.
The most eye-catching person was a tall, beautiful woman in a black robe standing at the very front.
And beside her was a cute and delicate little girl, also dressed in a black robe.
The next second, someone blurted out, "Zhou Ming? Chen Xian?!"
Chen Wenhao frowned, staring at the standard rifles on the backs of the soldiers in camouflage combat uniforms.
Zhou Ming and Chen Xian actually brought in soldiers?
After a brief moment of shock, Li Shengqiang's expression shifted from surprise to delight. He stared intently at Zhou Ming and Chen Xian, finally contorting into a ferocious grin: "Hahahaha! You've chosen the path to hell when there's one! You think you can deal with me just by hiring a few soldiers?"
Zhou Ming sneered, "Li Shengqiang, today is the end for an ungrateful scoundrel like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw Wei the Cripple, who was tied to a pillar and covered in wounds.
His eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he was about to say something.
But Li Shengqiang had already shouted, "Brother Hao! They have guns! Let's attack together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards the soldiers in camouflage uniforms with all his might.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of black light appeared, and Li Shengqiang looked down in disbelief at his right hand.
At that moment, his right hand suddenly snapped off at the wrist and fell to the ground.
Blood gushed out.
"Ah!!!" The belated, excruciating pain caused Li Shengqiang to let out a pig-like scream, his eyes filled with terror.
Liu Manman had appeared in front of him at some point, her small, level-two rat claw blade untouched by blood.
She stared coldly at Li Shengqiang, letting the splattered blood stain her black robe, before kicking him hard in the knee.
As a level 2 evolver with a strength-oriented personality, and having received two enhancement fluids as a reward from the Fuxing City headquarters, Liu Manman's strength has increased once again.
