The leader of the group of superhumans sneered, turned to look at Qian Li's face, and said with a look of nostalgia, "Your husband doesn't even have superpowers. What kind of good life can you have with him? Why don't you come and live a good life with me?"
Qian Li's pupils contracted sharply. She realized she had mistaken someone for someone else. She lowered her head slightly and bit her lip to force herself to calm down.
“Sir, there are law enforcement officers at the B City base. We are legitimate survivors of the B City base and are entitled to their protection. You…”
But the superhuman sneered, "So what if they're law enforcers? I'll kill them all. What can they do to us then? They'll just fine us some crystal cores."
Qian Li's eyes were bloodshot. She knew this time things probably wouldn't end well. She thought of the gun Li Wei had given her before, and a resolute look rose in her eyes.
Since entering the B City base, Qian Li had never encountered anything like this. On the one hand, the B City base was strictly managed, and no one dared to be so blatant. On the other hand, the place where Li Wei and the others lived was relatively close to the inner layer, so their safety was very good.
But fear is useless. Even if DouDou loses her mother, she can't lose her father.
"Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to let them go."
Li Wei immediately took a few more steps forward in a panic, "Wife, what are you saying!"
Qian Li looked at Li Wei with red eyes, "We still have Dou Dou to take care of, you have to take good care of yourself."
Zhao Hui stood beside them, his eyes constantly scanning left and right, hoping that the law enforcement officers would arrive soon.
When Li Wei heard Qian Li's words, his eyes reddened. He couldn't let Qian Li make such a sacrifice. He took a few more steps forward and said, "No, you can't leave."
But Zhao Hui pulled him back first, whispering in Li Wei's ear, "Brother Li, there are several superhumans on the other side. Don't panic. I've already sent Xiao Liu to find the law enforcement officers. What we need to do now is stall for time."
Li Wei knew he was no match for these people, and the best solution would be to call in law enforcement to resolve the issue, but he was genuinely worried about Qian Li.
The leader of the superhumans sneered, raising his hand to pinch Qian Li's chin. He naturally saw the burning anger in her eyes. "You're nothing but a piece of trash. You think you can negotiate with me? Let them go and then let them come back to me for revenge?"
He pushed Qian Li to the ground, waved behind him, and immediately a superhuman stepped out with a grin on his face, even touching Qian Li's face.
Seeing this, Li Wei was immediately enraged and charged towards the superhumans. But the next second, a transparent air shield was erected in front of them, separating the two teams.
Standing in the shadows, Lin Ruo leaned against the wall, watching the scene of the forced abduction of a young woman. She didn't leave, though. She hadn't seen Qian Li since leaving Longyuan. It seemed that Qian Li had also grown up in the apocalypse.
“Look how useless your husband is. Now that I’ve captured you, he can’t even save you,” the leader of the superhumans said, pulling Qian Li up from the ground and whispering intimately in her ear, “Is a man like that worth it?”
Without saying a word, Qian Li quickly drew the pistol from her waist and immediately fired at the man, but he grabbed the safety on her gun and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull the trigger.
The man tapped Qian Li's wrist, and Qian Li's hand immediately lost its strength. The gun in her hand was also snatched away. Then, ignoring Qian Li's fierce resistance, he dragged her away. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Wei and the others, and said to the superhumans beside him, "Take care of them all. Don't let the law enforcement officers from the B City base find out."
"Alright, boss, go 'get things done.' These people don't even have superpowers, so leave them to us." The superpowered individuals looked at this person and Qian Li with lewd smiles, and it wasn't hard to guess what they meant by "getting things done."
Hearing this, Li Wei could no longer hold back. He quickly bypassed the air shield, pulled out his pistol, and fired at the group. Zhao Hui and the others also opened fire without hesitation.
But how can ordinary people compare to those with superpowers? Just now, that superpowered person who could manipulate the air quickly enveloped these people with his power, creating an air sphere around each of them and instantly sucking away all the air around them.
Li Wei and his group couldn't break free from the air balloon's confinement. There was no air inside the balloon either. Their faces grew increasingly red as they struggled, and they kept pounding on the balloon's walls, trying every possible method. Despair slowly crept into their eyes.
"No, please don't hurt them! Please! I'll do anything you want, just let them go!" Qian Li was being dragged forward by the man. She struggled constantly, and seeing Li Wei's pained expression, tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with the man in front of her.
Li Wei looked at Qian Li with reluctance in his eyes. He was indeed too useless and failed to protect her.
At that moment, Lin Ruo straightened up and with a thought, a long ice spike pierced through the temples of several ability users who were laughing wildly, piercing their entire skulls. Then, the ability crystals in their brains disappeared.
The man who was holding Qian Li was thrown forward by the momentum of his forward movement. Even though he was already lifeless, his body fell forward, dragging Qian Li, who was still clinging to him, along with him.
After Qian Li was pulled down, she instinctively screamed.
At this moment, the air spheres surrounding Li Wei and the others had disappeared, and they all knelt on the ground, panting heavily. When Li Wei saw Qian Li scream in terror, he immediately ran over to her and hugged her tightly in his arms.
He looked at the ordinary people who had just been standing behind those superhumans, mocking them. He quickly raised his gun and, amidst their terrified gazes, swiftly eliminated them.
After seeing that everything had settled down, Lin Ruo turned and left quickly. She decided to let it go today because she was in a good mood, or even if it was just out of sympathy. After all, killing these few superhumans was just a piece of cake.
Once he regained his senses, Zhao Hui immediately walked up to the corpses. Looking at the suddenly appearing ice spikes and the fallen superhumans, his eyes flashed with a sharp light. He turned around to look for Lin Ruo, but found that apart from the hurried passersby, he did not see that familiar figure.
"Sister Ruo! Thank you!"
By this time, Li Wei had already calmed Qian Li down. Hearing Zhao Hui's shout, he turned around to look, his eyes filled with gratitude. Such a powerful ice-type ability, and she still stepped in to help them—it must be Lin Ruo! She had just saved them all!
Qian Li leaned against Li Wei's chest, looking at the superhumans lying on the ground with intense fear in her eyes. Just now, they almost couldn't be together anymore.
At this moment, she was thinking of Lin Ruo, who had been their neighbor in Longyuan for three months. All the little things they had done together back then flooded her mind.
She looked up at the dark sky in the distance and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you!"
