Chapter 532 - The Dying Meng Chao (1/2)

Wild Wolf, Zhang Tie, and Bai Shan were all shocked.

All three of them sank into deep thought, and their expressions were gloomy.

“Where is Ms. Mulian?” Wild Wolf asked grimly. “Don’t be scared. We’ll go and save her right now.”

“Razor Street has a weapons shop that specializes in making all sorts of poisoned daggers. It’s very famous in Leprosy Village,” A’Ji said. “Ms. Mulian was heavily injured when she crawled underground through the manhole cover at the entrance of the shop. She couldn’t have gotten far, so she should be around there.”

Wild Wolf, Zhang Tie, and Bai Shan looked at each other. They immediately said, “Summon the men. We’ll go and save Ms. Mulian now!”

“Wait.” Zhang Tie sized up A’Ji and frowned. “I feel like this brat has the face of a bad guy. He doesn’t look like a good person to me. Wild Wolf, you must be careful that there isn’t a scheme behind this. Why don’t I bring someone to investigate the place first?”

“What?!” A’Ji looked like he had just been humiliated greatly. He jumped up, patted his chest, and said, “I-I might have been working for Boss Feng and stealing a lot of things on a daily basis, but Ms. Mulian is the Goddess I idolize! I won’t joke around when it comes to her life! Big Brother Wild Wolf, trust me, I wasn’t lying to you. Ms. Mulian is really under the dagger shop on Razor Street. Please, save her! Otherwise, it’ll be too late!”

Bai Shan thought about it for a while and said warily, “Wild Wolf, we must save Ms. Mulian. Even if we set aside your relationship with her, we must still do everything we can to save her to stabilize the emotions of the villagers.

“But Zhang Tie’s worries are logical as well. Right now, the situation in Leprosy Village is very complicated. The old village chief is dead, and we’re not certain whether Ms. Mulian is still alive. You’re the pillar of strength in everyone’s hearts. If something happens to you, Leprosy Village will be without a leader and we’ll all die.

“I know that you’re worried and want to personally save her, so why don’t you bring a few well-armed men with you so that you can be on guard against surprises?”

Wild Wolf pondered over this for a while before he accepted Bai Shan’s suggestion.

He carefully chose a few dozen elite Wild Wolves and had them all wear secondhand motorized armor they had gained through a lot of trouble. Then, he brought Strong Arm Zhang Tie and Pearl Bai Shan toward Razor Street under A’Ji’s lead.

Choosing the elites and arming them had wasted a lot of time. When they arrived at Razor Street, half an hour had already passed.

Right when they reached the entrance of the street, they heard a deafening explosion from the end of the street, and practically half of the street collapsed.

“No!” The trio’s expressions changed. “The underground spirit energy pipes and drains have exploded!”

This place was not far away from the ruins of the major crystal bomb explosion and was shrouded in smoke. Flames roared, and poisonous smog danced around like the tentacles of an Apocalyptic Beast.

The flames flowed in streams in the underground and continued spreading. It was not strange for them to detonate the spirit energy pipes and drains.

“Ms. Mulian!” A’Ji screamed, and his face went pale.

Wild Wolf could no longer hold back. He quickly went to the smoke-shrouded and burning ruins with Zhang Tie, Bai Shan, and the other Wild Wolves. They began searching and fumbling around in the dark.

The underground tunnel system in Leprosy Village was so complicated that it was like a 3D spider web.

Even a local would find themselves easily lost in there if they were careless.

Besides, right then, the space above and below the tunnels was a mess because of the explosions. The collapse had distorted the original space.

The smoke was also thick enough to block people’s gazes.

Even if they brought with them high-powered searchlights, they could only see their fingers.

The light was swallowed up by darkness right away.

The group split up and searched. The distance between them grew larger and larger.

Aside from A’Ji, who was kept in a tight grip by Wild Wolf, Strong Arm Zhang Tie and Pearl Bai Shan had left the group at some point and were moving forward in the dark by themselves.

Soon, Pearl Bai Shan heard faint moans under her feet.

She narrowed her eyes and carefully deciphered the direction of the moans.

Then, she bent her back and moved through a collapsed beam. She then crawled into a triangular space formed by two collapsed walls before jumping a flight of stairs that was broken in half.

When she turned her head around to look, all she saw was darkness. She could not see Wild Wolf, the others, or the searchlights. She could not hear their voices either.

Of course, the Wild Wolves could not hear her voice either.

It was only then that Bai Shan started scanning the area.

She saw a dying person crushed under a collapsed corner of ruins. He was a bloody mess.

But based on the weak moans, this person was not Ms. Mulian. It was a man.

“Who are you?”

Bai Shan moved forward. With the help of the searchlight, she carefully observed the terrifying wound on the man’s body.

His broken bones tore through his flesh, and blood flowed all over the ground. His heartbeat and breathing were incredibly weak and chaotic. He did not seem like he would be able to live for long.

“Save… Save me…” the man said weakly, “I’m Meng Chao. I’m a good person… Help me tell Wild Wolves…”
