The man who had been controlling Bai Qingqing fell to the ground and died. She felt like a bird that had gained its freedom, rushing towards Fu Chen and throwing herself into his arms, holding him tightly.
“Brother, you finally came. I thought you couldn’t find me,” she said.
Fu Chen gently embraced her and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. No matter where you are, I will find you.”
Xiao Yang looked at Fu Chen with a touch of bitterness in his eyes. It was good to have the identity of an older brother. Bai Qingqing took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. He secretly imagined himself as Fu Chen, finding some balance in his heart.
Wucheng was a safe haven with patrols of military forces everywhere. There were regulations in the city that prohibited the indiscriminate use of abilities by supernaturals. If fighting caused damage to Wucheng’s resources, they would be expelled from the city.
Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble in Wucheng, let alone challenge those in the A District.
When Fu Chen and the others barged in and killed someone, Zhang Zhong was startled by their ruthless methods, and his face turned even darker.
“Who the hell are you? How dare you break into my villa? Are you seeking death?” Zhang Zhong shouted.
Fu Chen coldly stared at Zhang Zhong as if looking at an inanimate object without life.
The team learned that the survivors from the auction were taken to a prison for isolation. Heaven knew how relieved Fu Chen was that Bai Qingqing was safe. However, when he rushed to the prison to find people, he learned that Bai Qingqing, like Bai Tiantian, had been taken away by someone important in Wucheng.
Upon hearing this news, he almost went crazy.
Bai Tiantian was favored by Tiandao, and even if she faced a crisis, she wouldn’t be in any serious danger. However, it wasn’t necessarily the case for Bai Qingqing.
Zhang Zhong used to be a useless rich second generation before the apocalypse. After awakening his abilities, he became a high-ranking figure in the safe zone of Wucheng, acting like a petty emperor with his status and advanced abilities.
Any woman who entered Wucheng and caught his eye would almost certainly end up in his possession. And the fate of those women was naturally far from pleasant. They would be tortured and given to multiple people, becoming slaves without dignity.
After spending these days together, he truly regarded Bai Qingqing as his precious younger sister. How could he tolerate her being humiliated?
Just the thought of her scared and crying appearance made him furious, and he wanted to crush Zhang Zhong immediately.
“It doesn’t matter who we are,” Fu Chen said coldly, looking at the group of men with a murderous gaze. “Tonight, all of you will die here.”
“Just you?” Zhang Zhong laughed arrogantly and said coldly, “Daring to cause trouble here without considering the consequences.”
Zhang Zhong was a Tier 3 supernatural, and the other men were Tier 2. Just a few months after the apocalypse began, the abilities they possessed already made them strong in Wucheng. Plus, they were protected by the military forces outside, so they naturally weren’t afraid of someone seeking revenge.
Previously, when Zhang Zhong set his sights on the girlfriend or wife of a supernatural, any courageous man who came to confront him ended up being beaten half to death, forced to watch his own woman being humiliated.
“You few have some guts, daring to cause trouble on my turf.”
Zhang Zhong looked at the other men and ordered, “Go and capture them. Be careful not to kill them. It won’t
be fun if they die.”
He grabbed Bai Tiantian by the side and pulled her into his arms, pinching her face as he faced everyone.
“You, too, watch closely. See how they beg for mercy on their knees.”
Bai Tiantian’s face turned pale, humiliated and scared as she looked at the team, crying out, “Don’t worry about me. Hurry and leave.”
Although she saw the team as her saviors, she didn’t want them to be in danger. She would rather endure humiliation herself.
Shen Mingxuan’s handsome face turned icy cold. Seeing Bai Tiantian being insulted reminded him of unpleasant memories from the past. He sternly rebuked, “Let her go!”
Amidst the heavy protection, Zhang Zhong laughed arrogantly, “Who are you to this woman? Boyfriend? Husband?”
He showed a reminiscent expression and said, “I’ve tasted her, not bad. At least it takes a good half month before I get bored.”
Upon hearing Zhang Zhong’s derogatory words, Shen Mingxuan’s face turned as dark as water, and he launched a furious attack.
Bai Qingqing felt speechless hearing the chaotic noises around her. Bai Tiantian had already run to her teammates’ side when Zhang Zhong was taken aback. Instead, she stood there foolishly, like a wooden statue.
Now she had become a hostage.
Bai Qingqing stepped out of Fu Chen’s embrace and stood behind him.
As the strategist of the team, Liang Zhiyu remained calm amidst the fury of Fu Chen and Xiao Yang. He noticed Bai Qingqing’s distressed attire and took off his coat, handing it to her.
“Put on the coat and stay away,” he said in a pleasant voice.
Bai Qingqing gratefully accepted the coat, her eyes shimmering, and whispered, “Thank you.”
Liang Zhiyu nodded slightly and turned to look at the few male supernaturals hesitating whether or not to attack them in the living room.
Fu Chen instantly killed one of the supernaturals with a single move, terrifying the others with his thunderous abilities. Shen Mingxuan’s attacks, fueled by his rage, were wild and terrifying, forcing the other side into a defensive position.
Wucheng had a considerable number of military forces, and even with their abilities, it would be challenging to escape unscathed. They needed to finish the fight quickly.
“Useless!” Zhang Zhong commanded his men with a dark face, “What are you waiting for? Attack them!”
Zhang Zhong was willing to share women with his subordinates and friends when he was in a good mood. However, if his attitude turned hostile, he would send people to feed the zombies. The supernaturals had no choice but to engage in a battle with the Thunder Team.
The living room descended into chaos. Bai Tiantian cried out in fear, pleading, “Stop, please stop.”
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhang Zhong felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. “Little beauty, are you feeling distressed?” he laughed. “You haven’t experienced true distress yet. I’ll let you witness a good show later.”
He scanned the room, searching for Bai Qingqing’s figure.
These two women were like white gardenias and fiery red roses. The gardenia was innocent and adorable, but the alluring rose was what made people desire possession.
A scorching gaze fell upon Bai Qingqing. She looked up and noticed Zhang Zhong’s aggressive eyes, feeling disgusted in her heart. She immediately became vigilant and kept her gaze on him.
The supernaturals of Wucheng were trained and experienced in battle. Working together, they were not at a disadvantage against Fu Chen and his team.
The furniture and lights in the living room were shattered by the supernatural abilities, and due to excessive destruction, the entire villa was shaking. It was highly likely that it would collapse and be destroyed.
Zhang Zhong initially believed that his subordinates would quickly capture the intruders, but instead, they were getting injured by the opposing side. His most prized villa was also damaged.
“Useless! Useless! Kill them!” Zhang Zhong shouted angrily, giving his orders.
He thought that his subordinates’ supernatural abilities were being restrained because they wanted to capture them alive. He never expected that each member of the Thunder Team had powerful abilities.
Fu Chen casually waved his hand, releasing a bolt of lightning that bombarded and instantly gravely injured one of the supernaturals, causing him to cough up blood and collapse to the ground.
Distracted, he glanced back at Bai Qingqing, who was huddled in a corner like a small animal, and said, “Qingqing, go hide outside.”
Bai Qingqing immediately felt a surge of affection and shouted as she ran, “Brother, be careful!”
With a loud rumble, the villa collapsed rapidly. Bai Qingqing dodged left and right, trying to reach the exit. But just as she was about to make it, a large piece of debris came hurtling towards her.
“Qingqing!” Xiao Yang yelled.
Shen Mingxuan was preoccupied with saving Bai Tiantian from Zhang Zhong’s grip, while Liang Zhiyu and Fu Chen were dealing with the enemies. Only Xiao Yang was closest, but the wood-based supernatural abilities were rapidly engulfing them.
They couldn’t make it in time!
Instinctively, Bai Qingqing raised her hand to protect her head. The massive stone plummeted at high speed, about to crash into her. At the critical moment, a void of purple vines extended from the empty space and swiftly enveloped her.
In an instant, Bai Qingqing was encased in a ball of purple vines, completely sealed inside. The giant rock struck the vines and shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
The purple vine ball rolled out of the villa with a resounding crash, reducing the large villa to ruins.
The members of the Thunder Team emerged from various directions. Shen Mingxuan held the unharmed Bai Tiantian in his arms, Liang Zhiyu adjusted his slightly askew glasses, and Xiao Yang quickly ran towards the purple vine ball to check the situation.
Fu Chen was the last to appear, gripping Zhang Zhong’s neck tightly, utilizing his psychic abilities to the extreme.
Zhang Zhong screamed in pain, his voice filled with despair. “You dare to kill me? Do you know who my brother is? If you dare to harm me, the entire Wucheng’s supernaturals will hunt you down!”
Shen Mingxuan put down Bai Tiantian and walked over, stepping on Zhang Zhong’s head with force, saying harshly, “Even if your brother is the king of heaven, he can’t save you!”
Liang Zhiyu and Xiao Yang surrounded the purple vine ball helplessly, unsure if Bai Qingqing was injured.
Fu Chen left Zhang Zhong in Shen Mingxuan’s hands and walked briskly towards the purple vine ball, softly calling out, “Qingqing, are you okay? Are you awake?”
There was no response from inside the purple vine ball.
Fu Chen’s face darkened, and he glanced fiercely at Zhang Zhong, who had been kicked hard by Shen Mingxuan. If anything happened to Qingqing, Zhang Zhong would beg for survival but would not be allowed to die.
He took out a knife from his body and attempted to cut open the purple vine ball. However, the seemingly wood-based vines showed no signs of damage.
Even while being beaten, Zhang Zhong continued to rant, vowing to make them all die in Wucheng.
The intense battle in this area had attracted attention, and soldiers from Zone A would soon arrive.
Leaving the city was as difficult as entering it, with numerous checkpoints to pass through. Launching a sudden assault to escape would not only be time-consuming and strenuous but also result in losses for the team. If they wanted to pass through quickly, they would have to keep Zhang Zhong alive for the time being.
Fu Chen walked over, coldly staring at Zhang Zhong like a dog that had lost its family, and unleashed a bolt of lightning.
“Ah!” Zhang Zhong let out a miserable scream as both his arms were instantly paralyzed and severed, blood staining the ground red.
Bai Tiantian gasped, unable to believe how cruel and ruthless Fu Chen could be.
“My hands! Ahhh, my hands…” Zhang Zhong’s eyes were filled with unrelenting hatred as he screamed in agony. “I won’t let you get away even if I have to die!”
Fu Chen’s expression turned cold. He was a devil who had returned from hell. Whether the enemy was human or ghost, he had no fear.
Xiao Yang, thinking of the unknown fate of Bai Qingqing, kicked Zhang Zhong fiercely and said, “Did you think I would spare you?”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout Wucheng, causing people to wake up from their slumber. Some stayed indoors while others came out to check the situation. The military swiftly went on high alert, moving in two directions, causing panic to spread.
One team headed towards Zone C, while another team rushed towards Zone A.
Liang Zhiyu said, “Captain, we should go.”
Fu Chen looked coldly at Bai Tiantian and said, “Rope.”
Trembling, Bai Tiantian took out a rope from the void. Zhang Zhong was bound and gagged like a zongzi, then thrown into a military vehicle, while the purple vine ball containing Bai Qingqing was also loaded inside.
The team returned first to retrieve the heavily injured Cheng Rui, then rushed toward the city’s exit. The entrance to Wucheng had been closed for the night, with a few hours left until dawn. They could only find a hidden place to wait.
Fu Chen sat in the back of the military vehicle, his gaze heavy as he looked at the purple vine ball in the darkness.
