Chapter 372 Taking Food for the Road



Li Yu wasn't in a hurry. After dismounting, he bypassed the group and headed straight for the location where the strange beast was bound.

Upon arriving at the location where the strange beast was bound, he greeted Lin Han, who was standing next to him, warmly.

Lin Han grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, in response to Li Yu.

Li Yu's gaze then fell on the beast that was being tightly controlled, and he approached it with a smile on his face.

The beast, which had been calm, suddenly widened its pupils and began to writhe restlessly upon seeing Li Yu.

Young Master Ao seemed to see the most terrifying thing, and tried to struggle, but his body did not move at all.

Fearing that the beast might escape and he wouldn't be able to explain it to Li Yu, City Lord Yunming went to great lengths.

He not only used Zhang Cui's vine abilities to create a special chain that could control the beast's movements, but also firmly bound its limbs and body.

After the members of the Seventh Regiment finished consuming it each day, they sent awakened individuals to release anesthesia and hypnosis abilities on it.

With the combined effect of various methods, this originally ferocious beast, Prince Ao, is now trapped here obediently.

Seeing the beast's angry expression, Li Yu smiled and said:

"What, are you still cursing at me?"

At this moment, Li Yu's smiling appearance appeared to Young Master Ao like that of a demon from hell, with every expression seemingly carrying endless malice.

Li Yu slowly approached the beast's ear, lowering his voice to a whisper, and said:

"I met your sister."

A single sentence struck Young Master Ao's heart like a heavy hammer.

The beast's face immediately turned terrified, its whole body trembled violently, and its eyes were filled with disbelief and deep fear.

Seeing this, Li Yu seemed very satisfied and continued speaking slowly and deliberately:

"It's just that her mouth isn't as foul as yours, and her insults aren't as harsh."

"Of course, the ending wasn't as tragic as yours; instead, he died a quick and painless death."

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Aww—"

Despite being completely controlled and anesthetized, Young Master Ao managed to let out a furious roar.

The roar echoed around, filled with anger and resentment. He stared intently at Li Yu, as if he wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart.

Li Yu gently patted the beast's head:

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Having said that, he turned to the Seventh Regiment and said loudly:

"Remember to bring the exotic beasts with you; we'll eat them on the way."

Upon hearing this, a look of utter despair flashed in Young Master Ao's eyes.

It knew that falling into Li Yu's hands might mean an even crueler future for it.

Li Yu felt relieved for a moment, but when she looked up and saw the baby in the crystal coffin not far away, her face immediately darkened.

"General of Zhongzhou..."

Yunming and the others, who were not far away, had actually noticed the crystal coffin long ago. They were also full of doubts, but they wisely refrained from asking any questions.

Liu Xin did not inquire about the results of Li Yu's mission, because in his eyes, Li Yu's strength was so great that he did not need such trivial mission results to prove his worth.

He thought to himself, it seems that their Thunder Bureau underestimated Li Yu's abilities.

However, let alone the Thunder Bureau, even the General of Zhongzhou failed to see Li Yu's enormous potential.

Having spent many years working in the Thunder Bureau, Liu Xin was well aware of the actions of those generals from Zhongzhou.

They would never make any investment in someone without absolute self-interest.

Although Li Yu came smoothly from outside the Great Wall, seemingly with the support of General Zhao Deyang, this was not actually the case.

Not only Liu Xin, but everyone in the Thunder Bureau knew this very well.

The person Zhao Deyang truly used military resources to fully support was his new apprentice after the Eternal Fire Alliance war, not Li Yu.

Li Yu's fame grew, but it actually had nothing to do with General Zhao Deyang.

Li Yu relied entirely on his own formidable strength and the legendary stories passed down through generations to earn this resounding reputation.

Before Liu Xin came to find Li Yu, he had done a thorough investigation.

The reason Li Yu's heroic reputation spread throughout Zhongzhou was entirely due to the covert support and behind-the-scenes encouragement from the Xu family of Zhongzhou, who were in charge of logistics.

Xu Lin, that young man from the Xu family of Zhongzhou, seemed to value Li Yu highly, to the point that he risked his own future and went to great lengths to persuade his family to bet on Li Yu.

Before coming to find Li Yu, Liu Xin thought that the Xu family had produced a fool who would support such a seemingly unknown "swindler".

However, after witnessing Li Yu's strength firsthand, he suddenly realized that everyone was wrong, and terribly wrong.

Li Yu's strength fully matches his title, and may even exceed it.

It can be said that apart from the Xu family of the Central State Logistics Department, Li Yu actually has no other power supporting him.

The Xu family has also had a difficult time in recent decades. Not only has their power been squeezed, but their own family has not yet cultivated any descendants with extraordinary abilities, which limits their ability to support Li Yu.

Therefore, after Li Yu clashed with the law enforcement team, no force came forward to support him.

Liu Xin had realized that the fact that Li Yu had no powerful backing was precisely their Thunder Bureau's greatest advantage.

If the Thunder Bureau wanted to, it could easily become the biggest force behind Li Yu's support.

If Thunder Bureau can fully support Li Yu, it's not hard to imagine that with Li Yu's limitless future strength, Thunder Bureau might really be able to rewrite the landscape of Zhongzhou.

Liu Xin looked up and saw that Li Yu's team was preparing to set off in the distance.

He hurriedly caught up with her, and asked Li Yu with a smile:

"I wonder where Commander Li Yu wants to go. Actually, our Thunder Bureau can arrange supplies and escorts along the way."

"No need, I'll let you know if I need anything," Li Yu said softly.

Ma Yuanbai had just reported to him that after Li Yu left, City Lord Yunming specially opened the warehouse doors for them to replenish their supplies, so the Seventh Regiment's current material reserves are quite sufficient.

In addition, the Thunder Bureau also sent a lot of weapons and equipment. Now, in the Central Plains where there are no rampant alien beasts, the Seventh Regiment's supplies and equipment are fully sufficient to meet their needs.

Liu Xin nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

He originally intended to arrange for Du Xiayue and the others to go with Li Yu, but then he thought that haste makes waste, and it would be better to wait a while.

Liu Xin secretly guessed that most of the teams heading west were probably going to Jincheng.

Even if the destination is further west, it will definitely pass through Jincheng, and Li Yu's team will be no exception.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin was no longer in a hurry.

After all, Li Yu has so many people, and the journey westward is still long; there will be plenty of opportunities later.

As long as the Thunder Bureau takes Li Yu seriously, Liu Xin's mission will be accomplished, and he might even achieve great success.

Liu Xin was quite excited just thinking about it. After all, as one of the mentors of the Thunder Bureau, he also wanted to have the same fame as Li Yu.
