Chapter 30 Another group of people arrived.
Shan Ran and his group caught the enemy off guard, severing the leader's hand. Furthermore, through their tacit cooperation, they gradually gained the upper hand.
The so-called "boss's woman," who had just been spouting nonsense, had already escaped in the chaos after releasing a cloud of poisonous mist.
Because she saw that the man opposite her, who conjured branches and green leaves, was able to absorb most of her poison gas.
She is a poison-type ability user, and her methods of assassination, interrogation, torture, etc. are very powerful. However, her physical offense and defense are very poor. If she is even slightly affected by the poison in a direct battle, she may be seriously injured.
Lang Jian had no time to worry about his woman running away; all he could think about was killing those people on the other side!
He roared, and the surrounding metal shelves all trembled and lifted off the ground, then charged towards the group of people.
However, just as it was about to hit them, the shelf stopped and froze in mid-air.
Lang Jian looked at Wendy.
"This person is also a metal-type ability user?"
His face was contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he stared intently at Wendy. With a roar, he exerted his strength once more.
Wendy tried her best to keep the shelf balanced, but it was too late. She could only try to reduce the impact, but it still crashed down on the three of them.
Fortunately, thanks to Wendy's efforts, their injuries were not serious.
Wendy controlled the small cleaver, along with the two other large cleavers she had brought, and swung them at Lang Jian.
Although she was also a metal-type ability user, she was no match for that person. The three kitchen knives stopped beside Lang Jian and then fell to the ground.
She was unwilling to give up and wanted to control things, but she was firmly suppressed.
Wendy gritted her teeth; she was unwilling to accept defeat!
After practicing for so long and being given such high expectations, I still can't even beat that disgusting guy on the other side!
She let out a roar, and the cleaver started moving again.
It was a success!
However, the next second, a sharp axe flew towards her back. By the time Wendy realized it, she was no longer able to turn around and control the axe.
A jet of water shot out, changing the direction of the axe, and smashed into the ground with such force that it created a deep crater.
Wendy looked up and saw Shan Ran in mid-air.
She nodded gratefully, not having time to say anything.
The axe on the ground rose into the air again, this time flying towards Shan Ran. Besides the axe, there were other knives, all pointing at Shan Ran.
She dodged quickly, narrowly avoiding the weapons several times, which looked extremely dangerous.
Wendy wanted to help Shanran, but she couldn't control the metals at all; instead, she was suppressed by the metal-based abilities of the other party.
Her nose tingled, her eyes reddened, and she kept blaming herself for being useless, wishing she could help Boss Shan.
But she didn't want to be a burden and couldn't help the mountain leader for the time being, so she killed more other people to lighten their burden.
Ennia was unable to fight, and Wendy and Wuchuci had to protect her, so they soon sustained more injuries. Ennia did her best to heal them from behind.
Shan Ran and his group initially gained the upper hand, but the opponent outnumbered them, and Lang Jian's metal-type ability was indeed powerful, so the situation became somewhat tense for the time being.
Seeing that the advantage was gradually returning, Lang Jian grinned maliciously, his face trembling with excitement. "I've changed my mind! I'm going to capture you alive! I won't let you die; I'll torture you so badly you'll wish you were dead!"
He laughed out loud as he imagined those scenes.
Suddenly, a long-handled broadsword came straight at him from mid-air. Lang Jian abruptly stopped laughing and stared at the sword, which stopped just before it pierced his eye.
"Hahahaha, I'm a metal element! You think you can stab me with a knife? How laughable... ugh..."
However, before Lang Jian could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a sharp pain gradually began to strike.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked down at his chest, where fragments of clothing floated, revealing that it was empty.
Rhine, flying in mid-air behind, disgustedly threw away the heart he had just pulled out, as if he were throwing away something dirty.
"Disgusting." Rhine only said this one sentence, as if saying another word to Lang Jian would dirty his mouth. After saying that, he continued to pounce on the others.
Lang Jian wanted to say something, but he was too weak to make a sound and fell heavily to the ground.
Upon seeing that their eldest brother was dead, the remaining men instantly lost their will to fight and scrambled to escape.
The defeat is inevitable; they are nothing but a pack of stray dogs, nothing to fear.
Shan Ran and his group chased after them and killed another group of people.
However, given their large numbers, it was difficult to capture them all as they scattered and fled.
Seeing that they could no longer catch up, the group stopped.
They returned to the spot where Lang Jian had just died, and suddenly large quantities of supplies appeared out of nowhere.
However, there was a fierce battle here, and the ground was dirty. Many things got dirty after they landed, so they need to be washed clean before they can be used again.
Wu Chuci and the others aren't picky. It's just something to wash and use, what's the big deal?
The supplies filled three entire floors. Although the group used them for more than a month, there was still a lot left. No one knew exactly how big Langjian's space was to be able to hold so much.
Possessing two special abilities—metal element and spatial storage—if this person is allowed to develop further, he will surely become a great scourge in the future.
During the inspection of the supplies, it was discovered that Lang Jian accepted everything that came his way. He even took away the refrigerator, air conditioner, and a bunch of beds, which were things that could have been left outside and would have been difficult for others to steal.
It seems he doesn't trust his subordinates at all.
Just as they were wondering how to move these things, they heard a commotion in the distance.
Another group of people arrived.
Those people walked this way, shining their flashlights forward, checking the supplies, and then at Shan Ran and the others.
Shan Ran was sitting on one of the beds, and Rhine was wiping her feet beside her.
Upon seeing outsiders, the two quickly put on their shoes, stood up, and assumed a defensive formation, watching the approaching figures warily.
On the other side was a group of people dressed in combat uniforms, fully armed and carrying guns and other firearms.
Shanran and Rhine exchanged a glance, realizing that those were no ordinary people.
The people in the front row stopped a short distance away, and the people in the back row stepped forward and threw a few people in front.
It turned out to be one of the fish that slipped through the net just now.
These people were thrown to the ground. They looked up in terror and saw the two flying killers standing in front of them, and a bunch of guns pointed at their heads behind them. They immediately lost all desire to escape.
They quickly kowtowed and cried for help.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't hurt you, I was the one who got hurt. Please let me go."
"Have mercy! I was forced into this! Lang Jian said he'd kill me if I didn't do it. He beat and tortured me before. It was her, this woman, who tortured me too. Please spare me!"
"Yes, yes, we didn't want to either. Lang Jian is a beast! He locked up so many people in that furniture store, men and women alike. He doesn't discriminate between men and women. He's a pervert. If we don't comply, our fate will be even worse than theirs. I'm just trying to protect myself!"
"It's her! It's her! She's Lang Jian's woman, they're the leaders, we're just a bunch of small fry, killing us won't do any good, please spare our lives..."
When Mu Jia was brought back, she cursed loudly, calling these people shameless and not men, using the most offensive language possible.
Her voice was sharp and grating, making Shan Ran frown.
Before Shan Ran could say anything, a knife was plunged into Mu Jia's back.
She looked down and saw the tip of the knife that had pierced through her from behind, covered in her own blood. Then the knife was pulled out, and she could no longer support herself, falling to the side.
This time she truly felt what excruciating pain was. She convulsed violently a few times, her eyes bulging so much they almost popped out, and soon she stopped breathing.
Then the knife, with its hilt facing forward and the tip pointing towards the other person, was handed to Shan Ran.
"Your knives?"
This was a very tall man, taller than Rhine, estimated to be nearly two meters tall, with a muscular build, and a black combat suit tightly wrapped around his muscles.
The mask covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. Beneath the black mask, his nose was high and well-defined. Although his entire face was not visible, it was clear that he was handsome.
The man's brows were lowered, and his gaze was extremely intimidating.
This is a man whose hands are stained with a lot of blood.
Shan Ran took his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), casually wiped away the blood, and sheathed it on his back.
Unexpectedly, those guys managed to steal her Mo Dao (a type of long sword) while they were running away!
She was so focused on checking the supplies that she thought the Mo Dao was buried under them and didn't even notice.
"Thanks."
Upon hearing Shan Ran's thanks, the man lowered his eyes, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked to the front of the line.
He gestured to the people behind him, and several people stepped out from the group and stood behind the group on the ground.
"Ahhh, help..."
Before they could finish speaking, their throats were slit decisively.
The people opposite them moved in a very orderly, disciplined and powerful manner.
He's an official.
Severe measures are necessary in times of chaos.
Leaving this garbage for even one more day means wasting another day's worth of food.
They carried all the corpses on the ground downstairs and then went to the furniture store that the man had mentioned.
Wu Chuci, Wendy, and Ennia were curious and went to see it too.
Shan Ran was worried about having so many supplies and refused to move.
The furniture store is on the fourth floor. It's a large space with iron railings that can be pulled down to close it off. Lang Jian usually keeps the door closed and lives like an emperor inside.
In a corner of the furniture store, there was a lounge, a room of about 20 square meters, where more than 30 people were locked up, and it smelled terrible.
Two of them were already dead before they came in.
The majority of the group were women, most of whom had no special abilities or very weak ones. Most of them had disfigured faces, some with knife wounds and others with poison wounds.
The wound had not been properly treated and emitted an indescribable odor.
The men who were left behind were all relatively weak, but generally quite good-looking; otherwise, they would have been long gone. It's hard to say whether it's fortunate or unfortunate.
When the survivors were rescued, several of them were already mentally unstable.
Wu Chuci remained silent, while Wendy and Ennia frowned, their faces filled with anger.
