Chapter 134: Killing Intent in the Night (II)

From that team, he had found a token that was identical to this one.

After returning to East Lake City, the attack by the alien bird creatures had soon broken out, and there was no time to investigate the Hong clan.

“What about it?” Chen Yiming asked calmly.

He was now at the second stage of the warrior realm, so why would he be afraid of a faction hiding in the wilderness?

“The Hong clan has a true warrior,” Liao Yong explained.

People like Liao Yong had even less knowledge than those of the same level in the city. After all, they were only tools for the Hong clan and were considered external members.

They had no idea that Chen Yiming’s concealment ability was the effect of his internal force.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming lost all interest.

Even people at the second stage of the warrior realm would find it difficult to withstand a single blow from him, let alone ordinary warriors. Killing them was not much different from killing those in the disciple realm.

Liao Yong explained their identity, then retreated to a distance.

He started to supervise his subordinates to prevent anyone from secretly escaping and sabotaging those who did not.

…

After nearly an hour, Liao Yong returned to Chen Yiming and said obsequiously, “Sir, the metal canisters from the gas station are all full. There are a total of 203 canisters.”

Chen Yiming nodded. “Bring your men and follow me to transport the fuel.”

Liao Yong did not dare to refute him. He gave out the instructions to his subordinates. “Did everyone hear that? Push the carts and follow him.”

The dozen or so subordinates nodded in understanding.

Just like that, Chen Yiming led the way, and the team followed not far behind.

He had already used his concealment ability to scout out the location in advance. The location was close to the main road on the north of the city, and the distance was less than a kilometer.

After the convoy arrived, they only needed to stop by the side of the main road and send people to move the metal canisters containing the fuel for a short distance. It would not take long.

Other than that, he had also planned out the route carefully. It perfectly avoided the other teams that the Hong clan had deployed to the north of the city, as well as the sentries stationed outside the city.

On the way, Chen Yiming reached into his pocket and pressed a button.

In his pocket was something that looked like a pager. Fang Hongkun had given it to him in advance.

The two of them had agreed that if things went well, Chen Yiming would press the button. After Fang Hongkun received the signal, he would lead the convoy to Linghuai City.

10 minutes later, Chen Yiming’s group arrived at the spot for temporary storage and unloaded the 50 metal canisters from the carts.

Then, they quickly returned to the gas station to continue transporting the fuel.

It took a total of four trips to transport all the metal canisters containing fuel to the temporary storage location.

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief.

The fuel problem for the convoy was close to being resolved.

No matter how the situation changed after this, the convoy only needed to be able leave this place quickly.

If there were people who did not know what was good for them and blocked their way, they could not blame him for dealing with them, whether it was Pengzhou City, the Hong clan, or the beast tide.

When the last metal canister was unloaded, Liao Yong jogged over and asked, “Sir, the matter has been settled. Do you have any other instructions?”

Chen Yiming nodded and said, “There’s nothing else I have for you.”

Liao Yong smiled and waved at his subordinates. “Everyone, come and greet him.”

The subordinates gathered around obediently.

Each of their faces had expressions as though they had just survived a calamity. They all felt that the identity of a member of the Hong clan made this unknown expert behave with some restraint.

“Sir…” The dozen or so people were preparing to bow and thank him for not killing them.

“Swish!”

A sword flashed past.

From the person on the far left to Liao Yong on the far right, a vacuum was instantly created in the air.

Before they died, everyone’s eyes widened. This unknown expert actually ignored their status as members of the Hong clan and did not care about morals, killing them once they had outlived their usefulness.

“You guys are hiding in the dark and dragging down humanity, and you still expect me to keep you alive?”

After saying this, Chen Yiming turned to leave.

Although he was not a good person, he would still make contributions to the war between the humans and the otherworld.

He would kill anyone he encountered that was from a faction like the Hong clan without any hesitation.

…

On the north side of the city, on a wide road, a large number of man-powered carts were gathered. There were about 1,000 of them, and they were filled with the loot from Linghuai City.

Factions like the Hong clan hid in the wilderness all year round. Fuel was a controlled resource, so manpower was most often used to transport their supplies.

Hundreds of people who had already completed their tasks had gathered and were waiting there. From time to time, they would discuss their gains in low voices.

Han Sixia was holding a book and checking with the team leaders one by one, recording the treasures they had looted.

Suddenly, he sensed that something was amiss and shouted, “Where’s Liao Yong? Did anyone see him?”

The dozens of team leaders looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.

“Gong Cheng, the areas you and Liao Yong were in charge of are only two streets away. Do you know where they went?” Han Sixia asked.

“We met once when we first arrived at the area in charge. I didn’t see anyone after that,” Gong Cheng replied truthfully.

“Then why aren’t you going to look for him? What are you still doing here?” Han Sixia said angrily when he heard this.

“Yes.” Gong Cheng nodded.

He turned around and called for his subordinates who were sitting by the roadside, preparing to head to the gas station.

However, before he could gather his subordinates, a scream suddenly rang out from the crowd.

“What’s going on!”

Countless questions were voiced out, and hundreds of people turned to look in the direction of the scream.

The person had already fallen to the ground, his head sliding to the side. A trail of blood several meters long shot out from the wound.

However, everything around him was normal. It was impossible to tell how he had been killed. This mystery gave one an inexplicable sinister and terrifying feeling.

“Ah!”

Before anyone could react, countless screams rang out. This time, 30 to 40 people were killed at the same time.

In an instant, those who were still alive thought,?“There’s a ghost!”

Their curiosity was completely extinguished along with the lives of the 30 to 40 people who fell to the ground. They fled in all directions without hesitation.

When one was in a desperate situation, one would often unleash unimaginable potential. Many people broke through the bottleneck in their cultivation, and their speed instantly increased greatly.

This made them think that they had a chance of escaping with their numbers.

However, a small improvement in the disciple realm made no difference to Chen Yiming.

In less than a minute, the sound of air exploding rang out countless times.

Of the hundreds of people, none of them had run more than a kilometer before they fell to the ground for no apparent reason.

After it all ended, a figure who had hidden in the darkness after devouring the light looked at the hundreds of people lying in pools of blood.

“The other three factions involved in this matter are of the same type as the Hong clan. I should kill them before the convoy arrives. It can be considered as getting rid of a threat for the sake of the people,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.

The air rippled.

He charged straight at the gathering point of the other three factions.

…

When Chen Yiming killed the few hundred members from the Hong clan, the screams of the group broke the silence in the city.

The remaining mutant beasts in the city sensed danger and chose a random direction to escape in.

The teams that were still carrying out their tasks realized that something had happened, so they all rushed to the gathering point of their respective factions.

Most people subconsciously felt that they could better deal with the danger if they grouped together.

As a result, Chen Yiming killed nearly 1,000 people at the second gathering point. The number of people killed at the third gathering point increased to nearly 1,500.

On the other hand, at the fourth gathering point, when they heard the continuous screams ringing out, everyone realized that it was a mistake to group together. They scattered and fled.

Chen Yiming had only caught up to 200 or 300 people when he heard a loud explosion from a few kilometers away. From the intensity and timing of the explosion, it was undoubtedly Fang Hongkun’s team.

Therefore, he stopped his pursuit and set off to meet up with the convoy.

The entire Linghuai City fell silent again. Even the sound of a pin dropping could travel a large distance.

The deaths of about 3,000 people had turned this place into a land of death. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and there was almost no place that was not shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

In the city, the few people who had chosen to hide had heard the screams from the start till the end. Their bodies were already weak and they were trembling in a corner.

Even though the massacre seemed to have ended, they still remained in hiding and did not even have the courage to stick their heads out.
