Chapter 340: Ding Hao, Unexpected Change - Part 2 (1/2)

Kairu was leading the convoy, he was walking in front with his chest high up. His right hands were holding several ropes, seven exactly that tied to seven guards they met at the gate.

The ropes tied to their wrists as Kairu easily dragged them. Of course, the armor did not have the armor, making it more painful when their bodies slid through the rough asphalt.

The seven guards were screaming for help, but the road was empty of people. No one was coming for them as it would take more time to reach the base.

Behind Kairu, an SUV followed slowly. Tang Shaoyang was in the front seat while Bai Yuan drove the car. Behind him, Wei Xi, Lu An, and Hu Feng looked concerned.

”Why don't we hurry back to the base, Boss?” They were moving so slowly, Wei Xi was concerned about his wife since the guard turned to be a scum kike this. He was worried something happened to the base.

Tang Shaoyang pointed at the seven guards, ”I am not going easy with them, let them suffer more!” The injuries were not that serious since Kairu was moving slowly, but the pain would last longer, ”You don't need to worry about your wife, if these weak scums can be a guard to protect the base, it means the base is still safe. Cao Jingyi is not that weak to be captured by the others unless your wife betrayed you and me!”

Wei Xi widened his eyes in shock as he was not expecting the Boss would doubt his wife. On top of that, the Boss was telling him that his wife betrayed him. It would be the worst nightmare in his life.

”Don't joke around like that, Boss. My heart can't handle it,” Wei Xi immediately shook his head and denied the accusation, ”Jingyi is not like that, she will never betray you, let alone betraying me!”

”I am not accusing your wife, but it's one of many possibilities to what happened in the base! We don't know until we arrive at the base!” Tang Shaoyang opened the window, ”Double the speed, Kairu!” He yelled out.

Kairu doubled his speed and the seven guards screamed harder. At first, they were screaming for help. But it did not work, so they screamed for forgiveness but to no avail.

Soon they arrived at the street with people, Tang Shaoyang could see people with dirty clothes roaming around the pavement. Not only were they wearing dirty clothes, but they were also skinny and looked starved. Their lips dried and pale, weakly looked toward the seven guards who screamed.

The frown on Tang Shaoyang's forehead was deepened. Wei Xi also saw the condition was much worse than when they left the base. The survivors were well-fed and had clean clothes to wear, but now…

Thinking of what Tang Shaoyang just said to him, Wei Xi's heartbeat spiked up. He had known his wife in high school. They went to the same university, she was not that cruel to starve these people unless…

'No! How could you doubt your wife, Wei Xi!' He scolded himself for doubting his wife.

The scream was getting louder and more people gathered to see what all this about. Some people were equipped with armor and weapons, but they did not dare to help at the sight of Kairu's tall frame. Fear was apparent for the unusual sight of the Flaming Lion, but no one dared to initiate the attack.

Two reasons why everyone did not run away from Kairu. First, the beastmen looked scary and intimidating for sure, but Kairu did not attack hence they stayed to see what happened. Human nature, they were curious. The second was because of the convoy that followed Kairu. Soon, the convoy was also getting surrounded by the survivors, hundreds of them, and it might surpass thousands.

Within less than two months, many survivors were gathered, tripled if not quadrupled from the original number.

Soon, the convoy entered a clean area. The street was clean and no junkies could be found around.  Tang Shaoyang noticed that more new buildings were spotted around the three main buildings.

It was clear that the building was not there when they left. They appeared out of nowhere which highly possible the wonder of the system. They were about to reach the base, but Bai Yuan stopped the car.

”Why stop?” He had been looking at the new buildings, but the car suddenly stopped.
