Chapter 531: Chapter 228 Yin and Yang Balance_1
“Let go of our boss!”
Although the Prison Head was cruel, he still had a few fiercely loyal henchmen. Seeing their boss about to be dragged away, they instinctively stood up.
Lan Yulian’s gaze turned cold.
“Take them all.”
“Ah! You’re going to—ugh!”
The eight Level 3 ability users under Lan Yulian stepped forward, and in an instant, they subdued these people.
As the Prison Head and his gang were dragged downstairs, other survivors became curious about what had happened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Cannibalism requires execution.”
Lan Yulian explained with a cold face.
Whoosh—
The crowd’s expressions instantly changed.
No one wanted such people around, as nobody wished to become someone else’s food.
But to really kill the Prison Head? This was one of the leaders of the four major powers, after all! And the prison always had rumors of cannibalism…
The group was dragged to the entrance like dead dogs; in front of everyone, Lan Yulian pronounced the death sentence for the Prison Head and the others.
“Kill them.”
Spurtch!
Lu Yingfeng and a few others, holding rebar, pierced it through the heads of the Prison Head and his cronies.
The rescue operation had resulted in over a dozen deaths, and even before being besieged by zombies at the diving gym, more than two hundred had perished… but everyone felt the deaths of the Prison Head and his group were the most terrifying!
Everyone fell silent as if chilled to the bone, afraid to speak.
They felt that Zijing City might be welcoming a cold-hearted queen!
Lan Yulian ordered another search of the building, where they found a woman stripped bare, with severe signs of violation on her body, missing an arm.
Some survivors explained that half an hour earlier, the Prison Head had called for this woman, who was under his command. She didn’t dare disobey. After she went up, she never came back down…
“If any of you make the same mistake, they will be your example.”
“Yes!”
The crowd hastily agreed.
Lan Yulian had brought a dozen vehicles on this outing. Some of them were large and could seat many people.
While the survivors lined up to board the vehicles, a few of the Prison Head’s subordinates came over and spoke to Lan Yulian about the Prison Head’s deeds.
Naturally, they spoke of his brutality and inhumanity, how he often killed innocents in the prison and led others to eat human flesh. Those who died with him were his trusted aides because they had participated in cannibalism…
It could only be said that they had it coming.
…
The trip back was calm, without any mishaps. When they were close to returning to Zijin Base, Lan Yulian said to Wang Tao:
“Have Little Feng take them to the base later. You come with me to the Vast Club. I’ll get that Crystal Core for you.”
“Okay.”
So, the convoy split into two groups.
Lan Yulian drove, taking Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue toward the Vast Club.
In the car, Lan Yulian suddenly said:
“By the way, is Little Xue’s nose quite sensitive?”
Earlier in the building, in that environment, Jiang Shixue had been able to distinguish the different scents of blood, which had surprised her.
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue, who was sitting in the back seat, and said:
“I guess so, Little Xue is very impressive. You might not even be a match for her.”
“I’m not a match for her?”
Lan Yulian looked skeptical.
Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao, both appeared as ordinary people, hard to read.
With Wang Tao’s physique, standing at one meter ninety with a body of muscle, he did not seem like someone easy to provoke.
Jiang Shixue, on the other hand, looked tender and fragile, especially in her school uniform, with a pair of clear, large eyes that made her seem like a high school girl naive to the world.
Although she knew Jiang Shixue must have some ability, the idea that she was stronger than herself was hard to believe.
“Ah? No way, absolutely impossible!”
Lan Yulian immediately shook her head.
The fact that Jiang Shixue had some Special Ability, she could believe. But the idea of Jiang Shixue being stronger than her, she definitely did not buy that. She was one of the top Level Two ability users, so how could Jiang Shixue possibly be stronger than her?
At this, Wang Tao revealed a smile.
“How about we make a bet? Bet that you’re not as strong as Little Xue.”
Seeing Wang Tao’s smile, Lan Yulian suddenly felt there might be a trap. But then she thought, she was now the leader of Zijin Base, how could she show fear?
She felt that her Healing ability had caused Wang Tao to underestimate her.
Before gaining that ability, she had killed plenty of zombies!
“…A bet! Let’s see just how strong Little Xue is!”
“What’s the stake?”
Wang Tao asked again.
He wasn’t really fond of gambling, except when a sure win was in sight.
“The stake… if I win, you have to stay!”
Lan Yulian suddenly said seriously to Wang Tao.
“Hm? Stay? You want me to stay at Zijin Base?”
Wang Tao looked at her, surprised.
Lan Yulian immediately turned away and looked at the road ahead:
“Yes.”
Wang Tao became curious.
“Why?”
“Because—there’s no reason. It’s just a bet, that’s all. So, are you in or are you scared?”
Lan Yulian didn’t give a straight answer.
“And if you lose?”
Wang Tao continued.
“There’s no way I’ll lose! But if, and I say if, I do lose… then you can set any condition, and as long as it’s within my power, I promise to agree!”
“Okay, you said it. You decide how we compete; I’ll follow your lead.”
Wang Tao’s face wore a hint of mischief. No matter how the competition went, Lan Yulian was bound to lose.
“Let’s do this. After we get to the club, we see who can make it upstairs first—since the lower floors of the club building have been sealed off, we’ve all had to climb up and down from the fourth floor…”
