informant
"Ah..." The boy was frightened, and then excitement surged in his heart. In addition, the pressure on his head was gone, so he immediately rolled and crawled out of the encirclement of the Hyena Gang members.
The man in the black dust cloth had his head and legs neatly severed. Blood gushed out from his bare neck like a fountain, splashing all over the face of his brother who had just rushed forward, and staining a large area of his gray work clothes, which were unique to miners, red.
The other four members of the Hyena Gang were startled by this sudden change. They didn't even see how the man died, but their ruthlessness in robbing and looting prevented them from fleeing directly. Instead, they all took fighting stances and prepared to fight.
"Who! Who did this?" One of the Hyena Gang members pointed around and then at the young man: "Xu Wu! How dare you openly collude with others to kill our Hyena Gang members!"
The man called Xu Wu looked to be in his early twenties. He was as strong and muscular as his name suggested. His bones were very strong and sturdy, which made his gray work clothes bulge out.
The originally dark face now turned red with anger, like a little tiger that would pounce on its prey and tear it to pieces at any time.
"We were hired by Mr. Tan to maintain order. Don't you want to work in the mine anymore?"
The members wearing brown radioactive cloth set their sights on Song Xuan and Liu Xia who were watching, and pointed at them with the machetes in their hands.
"Are you two the ones who have been standing here since just now?"
No one responded to him.
Drops of blood dripped from the almost invisible silk thread in Song Xuan's hand, leaving a string of bright red blood puddles on the ground. In less than a moment, the silk thread was collected.
Another head rolled down, without even having time to change his expression. It was the Hyena Gang member who had just pointed at them.
Liu Xia glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and frowned. He had discovered from the beginning that it was Song Xuan's doing. Obviously, the brothers were his so-called informants, and the brother named Xu Wu was probably the one who was going to lead them into the mine.
But no one expected Song Xuan to be so ruthless and to dismember the man directly.
Originally, the two of them were not conspicuous in the village with their clothes wrapped like this, but now that they have caused such a big commotion, it seems that this will not end well.
Song Xuan felt Liu Xia's gaze, turned to look at her, smiled but said nothing, still with that curved look on his face, and there was no sign that he had just killed another person.
"Go to hell, I'm the one who killed you!" Xu
Wu didn't want the Hyena Gang members to continue making wild guesses, so he immediately rushed forward like a cannonball and started fighting with his arms raised.
"Even if I quit, I will kill you dogs who bully my brother!"
Xu Wu didn't see clearly who killed the Hyena Gang member, but although he was not that smart, he knew that the other party was helping him.
This farce did not last long. The Hyena Gang seemed to be forbidden to use hot weapons here. The two men were already a little scared and had no desire to fight after losing their members in a short time. They could not defeat Xu Wu alone with only the cold weapons in their hands against three people.
With the help of his younger brother Xu Wu who would occasionally hand him a wooden stick, he was soon beaten black and blue and ran away, without even having time to clean up the bodies of his companions whose heads and legs had been cut off.
The young man's fighting ability can be said to be quite good, no wonder his younger brother said so confidently that his brother would kill all the opponents.
Two armed guards patrolling the perimeter of the mine came from a distance and seemed to have noticed the movement here. The "clicking" sound of their protective boots hitting the floor was getting closer and closer.
Xu Wu didn't have time to celebrate the victory. He quickly grabbed his brother, whose face was covered in blood and mud, and urged him anxiously, "Xiao Wen, go back to the house first."
Xu Wen had already recognized Song Xuan by now. He nodded and waved at Song Xuan quickly, then quickly disappeared into the alley of the residential area.
The two followed Xu Wen's figure through several alleys and finally came to a yard with a row of dilapidated self-built houses. They nimbly entered one of the houses.
"Brother Song!" Xu Wen excitedly threw himself on Song Xuan, smiling happily, "You're finally here!"
Xu Wen's clothes had several holes in them due to the beating he had received before. In the sunlight coming in through the window, one could vaguely see a small amount of dark green scales attached to his back. It was indeed as the Hyena Gang had said that the boy had undergone mutations.
"Yes, I'm here." Song Xuan took off the radiation cloth covering his head, hugged the boy who threw himself into his arms, and patted his back with a smile, "Let me see the wound on your face."
"Who is she?" Xu Wen's childish face showed a wariness that didn't belong to someone his age. He pointed at Liu Xia standing beside him and asked, "Is she Brother Xiao Song's friend?"
Song Xuan calmly pushed the young man away from his arms, took out a wound-cleaning gauze and a small bottle of alcohol from his backpack, and sprinkled the alcohol on the gauze to disinfect him while saying, "She is very important to me."
Liu Xia's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although Song Xuan didn't look at her as usual, she could still hear a strong attachment in his words.
The wound on his face was extremely painful due to the stimulation of alcohol. After all, Xu Wen was still a young man at heart, so he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to ask and cried out in pain.
At this moment, Xu Wu, who had dealt with the patrolling guards, came back panting, obviously having run all the way back.
He first glanced warily at Liu Xia, who was still wrapped so tightly that it was impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman. He didn't feel any danger, so he didn't ask any more questions. He walked over to Song Xuan and pulled her aside.
Xu Wu said anxiously, "Xiao Wen's mutation is no longer concealed. You have to hurry up. I was planning to leave the mine next month at the latest, but now I have to leave tomorrow at the latest."
"I'm here to take action." Song Xuan took out a prepared glass bottle from his protective suit. It was half filled with blue potion and handed it to Xu Wudao. "I've got it. I'll give you the rest after the operation is over and we evacuate."
Xu Wu's originally nervous and anxious expression instantly turned into ecstasy. He carefully took the tube of medicine and involuntarily turned his head to look at his brother who was still struggling with the gauze not far away, his eyes full of uncontrollable joy.
Liu Xia saw clearly that the tube of blue medicine was the inhibitor obtained from Yu Sisi. It turned out that this was Song Xuan's goal in going to "Paradise".
But if I remember correctly, this inhibitor has significant initial effects, but people who use it will still mutate later. Does this mean that for people whose bodies have already mutated, the only way is to use inhibitors?
Xu Wu suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something, and carefully put the inhibitor into his clothes: "The transport truck will pass by here in an hour, we have to hurry."
After saying that, he hurried into the inner room. After a while, he heard the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets. It was obvious that Xu Wu had hidden something in a deep place.
Soon, Xu Wu came out from the inner room holding two sets of lead-gray work clothes, which looked similar to the one he was wearing.
"I'm going to go out and pack. I'll be back in half an hour." Xu Wu hurriedly handed his clothes to Song Xuan and instructed, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Weapons and other things will be difficult to bring in, so leave them inside."
Liu Xia narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Wu's hurriedly leaving back. Why did this dark-skinned young man seem unreliable?
