With all the club grounds captured, Dugu Xing's men discovered a dungeon.
Unfortunately, after such a long delay, all the prisoners were killed by the Alliance members.
There were many people they didn't recognize, but there were also many former Wushuang City companions who couldn't be rescued in time.
Few patches of their skin remained intact. The sight of the prisoners' miserable state weighed heavily on the hearts of those from Wushuang City, especially Dugu Xing, who began to doubt whether his earlier decision had been correct.
"Lord, there's someone here who's still breathing." Gongsun Yuan's voice pulled Dugu Xing back to reality.
At the far end of the dungeon, in a dark room, Gongsun Yuan could vaguely see a person lying down.
Dugu Xing walked over quickly, and the healer beside him subtly reminded him that there was no chance of saving this person; all they could do was try to get him to breathe a few more times.
If this person hadn't been so resilient, this level of punishment would have killed him long ago.
Healing skills are not omnipotent; this person's physical damage is too severe to be treated.
If I had to explain it, in terms of the panel, it would be a bunch of permanent damage plus worsening disease debuffs.
Upon seeing the person lying on the execution platform, Dugu Xing froze on the spot.
Judging from his remaining facial features, this person could be considered a veteran figure in Wushuang City.
Li Gang, formerly the captain of the Wushuang City Security Bureau, was captured during the rebellion of the Wushuang City branch of the Eye of Truth. After being found, he was promoted to deputy director for his meritorious service in exposing the Eye of Truth. Subsequently, he organized forces in the city to repel the remaining members of the Eye of Truth on several occasions.
They were attacked by the Raiders Alliance and actively resisted inside the hotel, but their whereabouts are unknown after the hotel fell.
I originally thought their corpses had all been devoured by the infected, but now I know that some of them were captured alive and brought here.
The numerous wounds on his body proved his loyalty, and even Dugu Xing was moved by this.
Unfortunately, his heart meridian was damaged, and a fatal knife wound pierced through his heart. Dugu Xing remembered the words the medical staff had said earlier; his life was already on a countdown, and he could die at any moment.
Zhao Rui whispered in Li Gang's ear, "Li Gang, the city lord has come to save you."
Li Gang's eyelids twitched heavily for a long time, but he still couldn't open them. He tried to raise his right hand.
Dugu Xing walked over quickly, grasped his hand which was covered in wounds, his fingernails had all been pulled out, and the flesh had long since dried up.
Sensing someone approaching, Li Gang turned his head and weakly asked, "City...Lord?"
Dugu Xing was filled with anger as he looked at Li Gang, who had been tortured to this state in just a few days.
“It’s me,” he said softly.
"I...can't...go...anymore, cough cough, little brother...I...beg...you..." Before he could finish speaking, he finally ran out of energy and died.
Dugu Xing felt a sudden lightness in his hand as Li Gang's hand slipped from their grasp. When he looked up, he noticed that Li Gang's head was tilted to one side.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their chests, and some began to sob quietly.
Gongsun Yuan checked Li Gang's breath and shook his head at Dugu Xing with a heavy expression.
Seeing this, everyone felt the atmosphere grow increasingly heavy.
Dugu Xing took a deep breath and stood up.
With bloodshot eyes, he said to the crowd, enunciating each word clearly: "No matter the cost, I want you to find Li Qiang for me!"
"They must be alive. If I don't find them, you will all come to me with your heads!"
"Yes." Dugu Xing was like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, and everyone answered cautiously.
The club was well-stocked, and it took the people brought by Dugu Xing a long time to fill all the vehicles in the alliance and the vehicles he brought with him.
They had a fruitful harvest, and everyone's faces were beaming with smiles.
Dugu Xing, still with a gloomy face, walked out of the dungeon, when some reckless people came forward to report something.
Those who came out of the dungeon and saw this scene couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.
The current Dugu Xing is like a landmine; whoever touches it dies.
Dugu Xing stared expressionlessly at the newcomer, who remained oblivious, bowing his head and dutifully reporting, "A group of women have been found imprisoned in a house. Please make a decision, City Lord."
If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore!
The official following behind Dugu Xing pricked up his ears to listen to the report from the newcomer.
"Uncle Zhao, you can handle this." Dugu Xing took a deep breath and stared at the person in front of him.
He didn't take his anger out on the visitor and instead instructed Zhao Rui to handle the situation.
"It's getting late, we need to hurry!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
As Zhao Rui entered, he indeed saw a room full of beautiful women. He cleared his throat and said, "This scourge alliance has been wiped out by us. Those who are willing to leave with us can stay, and the rest will be given three days' worth of supplies and can leave on their own."
The women looked at each other, clearly stunned by the news, and stood there dumbfounded for a moment.
"The first option has a time limit!" Seeing that everyone was still hesitant to make a decision, Zhao Rui was clearly getting impatient.
Those remaining troublemakers could return at any time, so we need to act swiftly and decisively; the longer we drag it out, the worse it will be.
Some people took the lead in choosing to leave with him, since they had no ability to protect themselves and it seemed that it didn't matter where they were.
Some people thought that since he could have just robbed them outright, he actually offered conditions, so they were willing to follow him.
Ultimately, a large number of women chose to leave with him, as they lacked the ability to survive in the wild.
A small group of people plan to leave this area and say goodbye to the past.
Zhao Rui had previously used information gathering on them, and some of them didn't even have a panel.
A month has passed, and not a single infected person has been killed. It's a miracle that he's still alive, he thought to himself.
Those who want to venture out are members with stats but low levels, probably kidnapped in the wild.
Dugu Xing finally instructed a few reliable scouts to keep an eye on the area to prevent anyone from returning.
Seeing what this alliance has done, if anyone comes back alive, he will definitely eliminate this cancer.
For those who support them!
He thought to himself.
Everyone got into the vehicles and left, and the club returned to calm.
...
Meng Ziyi was dumbfounded as he looked at the empty club. It seemed that everything had exceeded his expectations today.
First, in order to wipe out that man, all of the more than one hundred people he led were completely wiped out, and he barely escaped with his life.
Now his own house has been robbed, and all his men have been slaughtered in the yard.
Yesterday he was the most powerful force in the city, but now his men, supplies, and women have all left him.
It's ironic; no one could have predicted that they would lose everything in just one day. Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he felt a pang of regret.
He has run out of mana and has no way to turn them into skeletons.
Moreover, the most important thing now is to save my life. With His help, it's not a dream for me to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, he quickly ran into the club to see if there were any remaining supplies.
