Chapter 446 The Ruthless Male Lead 5, while Zi Xi remained clueless and naive.
But she began to habitually look for Shen Li's figure, and would subconsciously look in his direction when she got food, and would involuntarily shrink toward him when she was afraid.
They clearly regarded Shen Li as their guardian.
In this hell on earth, they are each other's only special existence.
However, the power structure of the Dark Abyss is not monolithic.
Shen Li's solitary nature and ruthless power had already aroused the fear and dissatisfaction of some cliques.
In particular, the gangs of several troublemakers he had previously dealt with harbored resentment and were secretly waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
Unable to confront Shen Li directly, they turned their attention to his only weakness.
That silly, foolish girl, whom he protected so tightly.
The opportunity came on a stormy evening.
Shen Li was called away by the instructor to undergo an extreme endurance test and would be unable to return to the core camp area in a short period of time.
Scarface, the gang leader who had been keeping a close eye on Zixi's movements, felt that the time was right.
As was her habit, Zi Xi was trying to weave some small trinkets out of grass stems in the open space near Shen Li's wooden house.
She was completely unaware that several malicious faces were silently closing in on her from different directions.
Suddenly, several burlap sacks were shoved down from behind, instantly obscuring her vision and her screams.
Someone roughly covered her mouth, several arms held her tightly, and quickly dragged her towards the abandoned equipment storage area behind the camp.
The area was filled with rusty iron frames and abandoned vehicles, a blind spot in the camp and a lawless place for settling scores in private.
Zi Xi struggled desperately, but her strength was as weak as a chick in front of these people.
"Damn it, I finally got my chance!"
"Isn't that madman Shen Li a treasure to you?"
"Take good care of you today, before he gets back! Let's see how crazy he can get!"
Scarface grinned maliciously as he looked at Zixi, who was lying in the mud trembling like a small animal.
Several of his accomplices around him also let out lewd and cruel laughter. Some of them picked up the iron bar on the ground, while others lewdly took off their belts.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly burst in.
It is deep-seated anger.
He actually came back ahead of schedule.
The endurance test was nearby. Shen Li saw Zi Xi being dragged away in the distance, and without thinking, his body rushed over before his consciousness could react.
"Touch her?"
"You... all deserve to die!"
His deep, menacing voice was terrifyingly low.
Without any unnecessary words, he took action immediately.
He was ruthless and merciless, and every attack went straight for the vital points.
Screams, cries of breaking bones, and pleas for mercy instantly filled the corner.
Shen Li fought like a tiger among sheep, risking his life without any regard for his own defense.
His ferocity intimidated everyone, but the other side outnumbered them and was well-prepared.
In the chaos, a man whose ribs had been broken by Shen Li used his last strength to stab the sharpened steel bar he was holding into Shen Li's back before falling to the ground.
With a sharp, clear sound, a sharp weapon pierced flesh.
Shen Li's body stiffened abruptly, his movements momentarily frozen.
He grabbed the exposed end of the steel bar with his backhand, turned around and looked fiercely at the attacker. That look made the other person feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder on the spot.
But blood was gushing from the wound on his back, staining his black clothes red.
