Chapter 283: He Felt that Something Wasn’t Right
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
About five or six men were in the living room, the rest having gone upstairs to check around.
Lin Qiao found that these robbers were only carrying weapons, but not other things: no food or living supplies. She couldn’t tell if they had finished all the food, or if one of them had s.p.a.ce power.
Thinking of s.p.a.ce power, Lin Qiao was reminded of the small s.p.a.ce in her s.p.a.ce.
If a s.p.a.ce-powered man did exist among these robbers, she wouldn’t hesitate to harvest him.
As Lin Qiao was leaning against the wall and thinking, she saw that a few bottles of water suddenly appeared in a man’s hands.
“Boss,” that man who suddenly had three bottles of water appearing in his hands shouted at the highest-leveled one, then threw a bottle of water at the latter.
After that, he threw a bottle to another man.
The man who was called Boss unscrewed the cap before taking a large gulp, then asked, “San, how much water do we have left?”
The guy who threw him the water responded, “About a dozen bottles. We’ll draw those people here, then see how much water they have brought.”
“Will they come here? What if they give up on chasing us?” said another man.
“I think they will,” said Boss while putting the water bottle on a table. After that, he turned up the overturned couch and dusted it before sitting down and continuing, “This woman should be important for them. So, as long as she’s alive, I think they won’t give up. But of course, even if they did give up, we won’t lose anything, right?”
He laughed while speaking.
San held a bottle of water while nodding and saying, “Yeah, Boss, we need to keep this woman well, so we can have a way to channel our pa.s.sion… Hah!”
While talking, the few men turned to the women in the corner. Hearing them mentioning her, the woman automatically flinched.
Lin Qiao looked at the Boss man. He was wearing a pair of gla.s.ses and looking polite. However, the look in his eyes was nowhere near politeness. Even from meters away, she was able to sense the strong blood scent and evil hostility from him.
San was a bald man. He was very fierce-looking, yet his vibe was the mildest among all.
Another man called Er was incredibly handsome. He had a chiseled face and deeply sunken eyes. The calm look in his eyes was weirdly appealing.
All three of them had strong superpowers, especially the Boss man. He had been making Lin Qiao feel a certain pressure.
He was actually a level-seven superpowered man, while the other two were both at level-six.
These people wouldn’t make Lin Qiao worry if she were alone. However, they were pretty close to Lin Feng and his people now, and that concerned her.
“Boss,” said Er, “Do you think Yang will keep his word?”
“Seventy percent,” Boss replied blandly, “He’s an ambitious man. Being on an equal footing with the other two has not been enough for him since long ago.”
Er nodded and said, “You’re right! But, the one named Yuan Tianxing is only at level-six. What is there to be afraid of him for?”
“Who is he? Why does Yang want us to kill them?” San asked confusedly while rubbing his bald head.
Boss pushed his gla.s.ses slightly upward and bent over, elbows resting on knees, fingers crossed to support his chin. “I heard that he has dated the prettiest lady in Sea City Base, which made Yang unhappy,” he said carelessly, “So, Yang wants us to make him and his people disappear.”
“We can do that for him if he lets us join the Sea City Base,” said Ear, “But, I want to know what Yang Chao plans to do to Wu Chengyue.” ,
Boss laughed and responded, “He surely will start with that man’s weakness. Everybody knows about Wu Chengyue’s weakness—the little princess. Well, she’s too little now. If she were twelve, or even ten, it’d be nice to play with her.”
Hearing his words, the other two reacted differently. San chuckled and said, “Boss, so you fancy young girls! I didn’t know that!”
Unlike him, Er frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything.
At that point, Lin Qiao, who stood beside them, had straightened her body with her eyes turning colder and colder.
What did she hear? Such a coincidence! These people were after none other than Yuan Tianxing, who was her friend! And, the little one turned out to be living quite a risky life as well. Having a powerful Daddy was really not a good thing!
“Are you sure that Yuan Tianxing is coming this way? Don’t get it wrong. It would be embarra.s.sing if we missed him.”
Boss nodded and said, “Yang Chao has sent his people to confirm the information. Apart from Yuan Tianxing and his people, another group of Hades Base people is out here. Those are the family members of the Hades Base leader.”
Er stood by the couch with his arms crossed before his chest. He looked down at Boss and said, “Hades Base’s leader? Netherworld Fire? Her family escaped? Yang Jianhua is way too useless then. He can’t even catch a few fishes.”
“Because Yang Jianhua has shown up in this area, Yang Chao believes that Netherworld Fire’s family is around here. This means that Yuan Tianxing was with them earlier. Perhaps, we’ll be able to find Netherworld Fire’s family before he returns. I heard that Netherworld Fire’s younger sister and sister-in-law are both pretty,” said Boss.
“They have pretty women?” said San excitedly, “Boss, no wonder you came all the way here.”
At that moment, Er suddenly paused, then turned around and scanned the living room for a few times. After that, he looked at the three captives. Seeing the look on his face, Boss and San both looked at him with confusion. “What’s wrong?” Boss asked.
Er responded unsurely, “I don’t know… I had a bad feeling just now.” While speaking, he uncrossed his arms and turned to walk toward the door.
“Jiu, s.h.i.+, have you noticed anything?” He walked to the door and asked the two men who were guarding outside. The two turned around and looked at him confusedly before one of them replied, “Eh? Nothing! Is anything wrong? If you’re talking about zombies, you should ask Qi and Ba. They’re on the roof.”
Then, this man walked into the front yard and yelled at the roof, “Oi, Qi… is there a situation?”
A man stuck out his head from the roof, looking down at him while responding, “Situation? I didn’t see anything but zombies. What’s wrong?”
Jiu shook his head and said, “Nothing. Er seems to have felt something, so you should be careful.”
The man on the roof gave him an OK sign, then left the roof edge.
Er shook a hand to Jiu and said, “I’ll go out and look around. I still feel that something isn’t right.” While speaking, he walked out of the house, toward the gate.
Lin Qiao coldly watched him walk out, then turned back to stare at the Boss man.
