101 Chapter 101 - Group Kill (1/2)

Cheng Yang looked at Liu Xiyue, then turned his head around and stared at the middle-aged woman. Finally, he sighed and said, ”Alright, I'll go…..You go find a person that is comparably fast and have them guide me the way.”

The middle-aged man was the first to speak out, he immediately said, ”Let me go with you. My pair of boots increase movement speed by one. Compared to the others, I can get you there twice as fast.”

Cheng Yang nodded his head and then looked toward Liu Xiyue, he said, ”You will also go with me.”

”But my speed...” Although Liu Xiyue also wanted to go, but she knew that her own speed compared with the people before her eyes were the same without any advantages. Since Cheng Yang was in a rush, wouldn't she just be dragging him down?

”I'll carry you.” Cheng Yang continued and stated, ”Here isn't safe for you.”

Liu Xiyue originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the latter half of Cheng Yang's sentence, she gently nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yang squatted on the ground, Liu Xiyue showing a bit of hesitation then laid on his back. Night was the best umbrella, no one was able to notice that on Liu Xiyue's face was a hint of red.

Actually, Cheng Yang's heartbeat also quicken at that moment. Although he has experienced two lives, but this was the very first time he came into such close contact with girls, especially when it came to a beauty like Liu Xiyue. After all, he was merely an 18 years old boy, having attraction to the opposite sex was normal.

However, he was after all a man who had lived through a great tribulation, quite quickly he lowered his pounding heart down. Then, he followed behind the middle-aged man leading the way.

But things didn't go as he expected. While burdened with Liu Xiyue on his back, he could feel her body floating up and down on his back as he run down the road. So much that he could even feel the two stunning elastic peaks occasionally making contact with his back. For a time, his heartbeat only became more intense.

'F***! Why am I bringing trouble to myself?' Cheng Yang bitterly laughed, but he had to admit that he subconsciously felt that this was a pleasure. Cheng Yang hadn't given much thought of finding a woman. It was like so in his first life, as well as in this current life.

A few days ago, before the apocalypse had begun he was just an average student, and after it occurred reason has suppressed his emotions. Because he knew that talking about burning love in the apocalypse was an absolute tragedy. Because no one knew what day they could end up dying, or what day their other half may end up getting killed by an enchanted beast.

Even with Cheng Yang's current strength, he doesn't have a 100% certainty that he would live passed a year, because he did not know if the world would have other variables. Some things couldn't be predicted. Therefore, reason tells him love wasn't suited for the apocalypse. Perhaps, one day in the future he might find one or even multiple women to borne him a group of children, but in order to avoid the recurring events from happening to him in the future, he must stay focus.

But these matters were too far away. Cheng Yang feel that he should take advantage of his year's knowledge of rebirth to not only make himself more powerful, but also pave the way for a more stable and long-lasting future.

”Hey, what's your name?” Cheng Yang had to rely on talking to distract his attention.

Now there were only three people. The middle-aged man in front naturally knew Cheng Yang was asking about him, he immediately replied back, ”My name is Xiao Zheng, a profession from Xiangcheng city's main city. Those people from a moment ago were people from our mercenary squad. It has a total of 56 members, but 11 people had sacrificed their lives in the battle we just went through.”

This Xiao Zheng was a very talkative person. Cheng Yang simply asked for his name and he spits out a bunch of words. But when it came to the last sentence, he suddenly had a sad look on his face.

”Are there a lot of mercenary squad like this in Xiangcheng city's main city?” Cheng Yang asked, already knowing the answer to the question.

Xiao Zheng's heart moved, he heard a different meaning from Cheng Yang's words, he said, ”Even though there's not much, but it still add up to twenty to thirty. Altogether the total number of people is about 2,000. The size of our squad can be considered small...Sir, could it be that you aren't a profession of Xiangcheng city's main city.”

Cheng Yang didn't feel irritated by Xiao Zheng's curiosity, calmly he said, ”You can put it that way.”

Xiao Zheng noticed that Cheng Yang didn't want to talk about this, so he immediately switched to another topic, ”Actually, the strongest force in our Xiangcheng city's main city aren't these mercenary squads, rather it's the army and the four militia groups. The size of the army has reached 10,000, moreover they are all profession. Also the quantity of profession in each militia group has exceeded 2,000. When confronted with these forces, our and other mercenary squads are as tiny and weak as ants in general.”

Cheng Yang continued and asked, ”Then, why don't you join the militia or the army?”

Xiao Zheng said, ”The rules of the army and militia are too strict and basically there was no room in them for individual's freedom. Therefore, a lot of people were reluctant to join them. However, in the apocalypse it was impossible to survive with personal strength alone. As a result, people that share a common goal gathered together and set up their own mercenary squad. Of course, in the mercenary squad also has bad apples like that scar-face that was killed by you just now. They are also a mercenary squad from Xiangcheng city's main city. Except for the fact that they actually made a hideout on the outside to do those heartless things.”

Along with the flow of Cheng Yang and Xiao Zheng's conversation, Liu Xiyue gradually became more aware of a number of affairs in Xiangcheng city's main city. Cheng Yang already knew about these matters, but to keep himself distracted he chose to continue with the conversation. But this had also verified many matters for him, so it could be considered a small harvest.

Several minutes later, they arrived before a ruined building. Xiao Zheng pointed at a cave a few meters in front and said, ”Sir, inside that cave is the underground lot.”

Right after Xiao Zheng finished speaking, a figure in the distance could be seen desperately rushing over. But when that man saw Cheng Yang's group of three standing at the entrance, his complexion suddenly went through huge changes.

This man was also a subordinate of scarface. He had managed to escape in the confusion and was able to survive, but he didn't expect to run into the barrel of a gun instead.
