Chapter 157: In Exchange for Your Action
Chapter 157: In Exchange for Your Action
One of the areas in the shelter was suddenly out of energy. The maintenance worker examined it with the flashlight and found the secret room where Zhang Yuwen was imprisoned. He then saved Zhang Yuwen.
Zhang Yuwen lost 150 points of luck due to this rescue. However, it did not matter. Her luck was still strong. She was not shocked when she escaped. Instead, she was motivated to resist and revolt.
Yang Wei, who had three wives, cursed the head chef for being a good-for-nothing. However, he knew very well that he had to take down the shelter at this critical moment. He could not give anyone else a chance. Otherwise, he would never be able to make a comeback!
The strongest person in the shelter, Wei Huo, was just an outsider. Although he had stirred up a storm with the Luck Severance Skill, no one knew that he was the one who had done it.
Even though Liu Bayi was not considered weak, he was at Level 33. His Combat and Shooting Skills were at Level 16, and he had hidden skills and extraordinary abilities. However, he indicated that he would not participate in the internal fights of the shelter. He would leave after the heat wave ended.
That was why Yang Wei was fearless. He also had the Defense Department, which was a powerful force. They had weapons, and each of them had worked as a security guard before. Two of them were strong and had tattoos all over their arms and necks. They had once been the bodyguards of two big shots of the underworld.
What was even more terrifying was that the two of them were mutants!
Although the mutation had not lasted long, it was at 3%. This was already very powerful!
Zhang Yuwen had the advantage of numbers, but it was obvious that she could not compete with the powerful Yang Wei. Mr. Li, who had been rescued, suggested that she seek Wei Huo’s help and exchange the items in the warehouse for his help.
Wei Huo was watching the whole situation. He smiled when he heard that and recalled a famous work of literature from a long time ago. The protagonist had liked this move the most.
“Senior, I’ll give this spirit fruit that can increase one’s lifespan to you in exchange for your help!”
The old man had just said that he had a spirit fruit, which was a reasonable excuse to act cool. He should attack!
Zhang Yuwen found Wei Huo and took out the remaining pound of Mithril she had taken from the warehouse. She then begged Wei Huo to help her.
Wei Huo did not attack after collecting the Mithril. Instead, he let the purple cat out of the Divine Pet Space. The purple cat was confused. How had it suddenly gotten from the jungle to the underground shelter?
Everyone looked at the cat in disbelief. They did not know what it was.
Wei Huo told the purple cat, “Follow Yuwen out and help her solve the problem.”
The purple cat was obedient in front of Wei Huo. However, as soon as it left him, it regained its dominant aura. Its eyes became ferocious as it emitted a terrifying aura. Rare-ranked creatures could not do anything to it unless they had a submachine gun.
At first, everyone thought that the purple cat was just an ordinary giant creature. However, it was a carnivorous animal after all. Its body was really huge, so its combat power should be extraordinary.
They soon realized how powerful the purple cat was. It tore Yang Wei’s two mutants into pieces.
Although the two brawny men were strong and had undergone mutations, their mutations were not extensive. They were only slightly stronger than normal people.
Some people considered this a pity because they had heard from Liu Bayi that mutants were very precious. Zhang Yuwen was a mutant. Her hearing was very strong, so she could hear sounds from afar. Unfortunately, that could not increase her strength at all.
The purple cat was really terrifying. No one was its match. Yang Wei’s subordinates surrendered, and Yang Wei begged for mercy.
“Niece Zhang, please spare your uncle’s life. We’re all in the same shelter. There’s no deep hatred between us. There’s no need to involve death!”
Zhang Yuwen hesitated, but her father stepped forward. “You were the one who instructed the head chef to kidnap my daughter, right? Someone saw this and recorded it. Don’t try to deny it!”
Yang Wei widened his eyes and immediately cursed Zhang Yuwen’s father. “So this was all planned by you. You’ve been coveting my position, haven’t you? Teacher Zhang, you’re too scheming!”
Teacher Zhang said, “You’re wrong. I really did not plan anything. It was all fate.”
Yang Wei did not believe this, but he could adapt to the situation. “Teacher Zhang, I was wrong, but I’m not at fault. I’m not trying to harm my niece. If there’s a recording, you must understand everything. Aren’t you planning to establish laws? I hope you can judge me fairly!”
Yang Wei was not simple. He had held back from the beginning and had not said anything he should not have said. Anyway, the head chef was dead. Everything could be blamed on him.
Zhang Yuwen was hesitant. Since she was about to form laws, she definitely could not kill Yang Wei in front of everyone. Besides, she was a little soft-hearted. However, her father was different. Teacher Zhang knew all about the game of power. If he was soft-hearted, he would only become a loser.
The purple cat took a few steps forward and slapped Yang Wei to death.
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected the purple cat to come forward and kill Yang Wei. At that moment, they realized that the purple cat was not under their control. It could kill whoever it wanted.
The group of people moved away from the big purple cat. The big purple cat had completed its quest, but it did not want to return to Wei Huo’s side. It had to have a chance.
However, Wei Huo appeared at that moment. He walked over and the purple cat turned from a ferocious creature into a cute animal. It ran to Wei Huo’s side and rubbed its face against Wei Huo’s trousers, looking gentle and cute.
Before anyone could react in time, the fierce-looking cat had turned into a cute kitten.
Everyone thought in their hearts that the purple cat had changed greatly. However, they knew that the young man in front of them was indeed unfathomable. Even a powerful creature like the purple cat was docile around him.
It was said that Wei Huo had come to this world a few years earlier like Liu Bayi. Besides, he was a mutant. He was very powerful and he could not be provoked.
As the situation in the shelter calmed down, Liu Bayi walked out with a smile. Everyone made way for him. They respected Liu Bayi very much. If Liu Bayi wanted to be the one to suppress Zhang Yuwen today, no one would dare to resist.
Liu Bayi and Zhang Yuwen looked at each other in admiration. “Not bad. Transferring you to the meeting room as an assistant was worth it. You did well this time.”
Everyone was stunned. Could all this have been planned by Liu Bayi? Was his goal to train Zhang Yuwen?
However, Liu Bayi said, “My quest has been completed. When a camp leader appears, I am supposed to leave. I was waiting for you to overthrow me, but I never expected things to turn out this way. However, it doesn’t matter. My quest has been completed!”
Everyone was shocked. Someone asked, “Were you using this method to select the leader of the shelter? Is this good or bad?”
Liu Bayi nodded. “That’s right. Regardless of whether the leader is Yang Wei, Zhang Yuwen, or anyone else, as long as I can, I will leave. The Marginalized Alliance will not interfere in your internal affairs.”
Everyone was shocked. They had not expected Liu Bayi to put in so much effort to nurture a suitable leader.
Teacher Zhang said, “Brother Liu, stay. The shelter still needs you!”
Liu Bayi laughed out loud. “My mission has been completed. There’s no need for me to stay. I’m very happy to see that Zhang Yuwen won in the end. Young lady, you have a lot of potential. I hope you can continue working harder and becoming stronger. I have to leave!”
Wei Huo smiled. “What a coincidence. It’s time for me to leave as well. How about we go together?”
There was another reason Wei Huo had been staying there. He had to track Liu Bayi and find out where the Marginalized Alliance was. If he had a chance, he could find out Lu Qiqi’s whereabouts.
