Chapter 531: Luring the Prey

Wild Wolf’s hair stood on end, and even the fangs at the corners of his lips became sharper and even more monstrous than a moment ago. His eyes were so bloodshot that they looked like they were about to start bleeding.

“Are you sure?” he asked in a quivering voice.

“I didn’t see Ms. Mulian’s corpse, but I heard someone say they saw it,” Bai Shan said. “After the explosion, Ms. Mulian went to set up a medical tent near the ruins and started helping the people there.

“But the explosion caused chain reactions, so secondary explosions and secondary collapses kept happening. The insufficient response from the chemical substances and the crystals released poisonous smoke, causing the environment around the ruins to be incredibly bad. Even though Ms. Mulian has amazing healing powers, if she was exposed to flames and poisonous smoke for too long, her organs would also deteriorate.

“Also, someone personally saw Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun running madly around the ruins, and he’s an infamous wanted criminal with a bounty issued on his head by the Supernatural Tower. Behind him was a group of secret police in motorized armor. The two sides just crashed into everything. They didn’t care about the bystanders’ lives at all.

“Perhaps their actions caused even worse explosions and collapses... and they accidentally injured Ms. Mulian.”

“Wild Wolf, Pearl is right,” Zhang Tie said gravely. “After I heard news about the old village chief’s death, I immediately people to look for Ms. Mulian, and we agreed that once they find her, they’ll immediately send a signal flare into the sky.

“But they have been searching for a long time, but still haven’t fired the signal.

“Logically speaking, if Ms. Mulian set up a medical tent and raised the Ford’s manglietia flag, countless injured villagers would have flocked to her, so it wouldn’t be hard to find her.

“Could it be that she’s really...”

Wild Wolf sucked in a deep breath.

Loud booming sounds came from his body, as if his bones were growing in an abnormal fashion and were about to tear through his flesh and blood to form bone armor.

“I want to see her, dead or alive,” he hissed.

“Wild Wolf, the problem right now isn’t whether Ms. Mulian is really dead or not. News of her death has already spread out,” Bai Shan said. “You should know better than anyone just what sort of status Ms. Mulian has in the people’s hearts. Many of the older generation in the village treat her like their own daughter, and many children and young adults look at her like she’s a Goddess sent to save those who are suffering.

“The old village chief’s death has already angered many villagers.

“Now, the people learned about Ms. Mulian’s death, and that’s basically the same as them receiving the news about their beloved daughter or idolized Goddess’ death. It doesn’t matter whether her death is accidental or not, it just made all the villagers livid.

“What is the government doing? After they gained victory in the northern offense, didn’t Dragon City say that it’s going to launch tactical counterattacks, achieve victory on every front, and expand its territory? Didn’t the superhumans and Red Dragon Army say that they’re very strong?

“Let’s forget the fact that they have been ignoring us for the past few decades, but why are they refusing to help us even when Leprosy Village is about to be wiped out? Aren’t we Dragon Citizens as well? Haven’t we been helping Dragon City progress? Are we destined to be cast aside?

“While I was on my way back, I heard many villagers say these sorts of things.

“Also, when I went to the bridge just now, I noticed that many villagers wanted to cross the river of trash and escape to the world outside, but they were chased back by the gang members defending the other side of the river.

“I can tell that the gang members are very nervous. They’re worried that the ones who fled from Leprosy Village carry the zombie virus, Blood Flower spores, or the Deification Capsules. They might even be worried that they’re brainwashed by the monsters and are their puppets.

“For the time being, not many have fled outside. The gangs can still control the situation, which is why they’re using their fists and weapons to chase the villagers back.

“But I’m really worried. As the flames of battle grow and the news of the village head’s and Ms. Mulian’s death reaches everyone, more villagers will try to run outside regardless of the cost.

“The river of trash that separates Leprosy Village and the outside world is just around eight meters wide. It won’t stop anyone from crossing.

“At that time, the gang members defending the other side of the river will be even more tense. The slightest spark of conflict will cause them to fire indiscriminately with their heavy weapons, and it’ll be too late for us to turn back anymore!”

“Wild Wolf, I agree with Pearl.” Zhang Tie swung his fist. “We don’t have any ill will toward the outside world, but we can’t just watch as the outside world occupies the high spots and stations fatal guns aimed at out people. They’ll kill us all at any moment they want!”

“You’re right,” Wild Wolf hissed. “I must go and talk with the leader of the secret police so that I understand the Survival Committee’s stance toward Leprosy Village. Do they want us to persevere for a while or have they really cast us aside? Do they think that the entire village has been ‘polluted’ by the monsters and want to destroy all the monsters, viruses, wanted criminals, Deification Capsules, and the village?!”

“About that...” Bai Shan put on a strange expression and spoke in a puzzled manner. “I just saw those secret police officers in motorized armor flying outside Leprosy Village in a hurry.”

“What?!”

Wild Wolf and Zhang Tie looked at each other before they looked into the distance.

A moment ago, the sounds of fighting between the secret police and the wanted criminals were still loud. It had sounded like they were the amalgamations of main battle tanks and supersonic fighter jets that caused the entire village to tremble.

But at some point in time, the roaring from the secret police’s motorized armor had disappeared without a trace!

“No!” Zhang Tie widened his eyes and cried out. “The secret police must have lost too many people in the battle in our village, but was still unable to kill all the monsters and puppets. That’s why they chose to retreat for the time being.

“When they come back, they will definitely bring a lot of weapons of mass destruction and level all the monsters, their puppets, and the entire village to the ground!”

“Wild Wolf!” Zhang Tie and Bai Shan, the left and right hands of Wild Wolf, took one step forward simultaneously and stared at him with an intense gaze. “Stop hesitating. You have to make your decision now and help the villagers figure out a way to survive!”

Wild Wolf licked his sharp fangs.

His power was going out of control, and his teeth actually left behind a long wound on his tongue.

The sweet taste of blood spread over his tongue, and red seemed to be spreading through his vision.

Wild Wolf sucked in a deep breath and was about to give his orders when he suddenly froze and looked at the perimeter of a forgery not too far in the distance. He looked a little puzzled.

Wild Wolf pointed at the walls of a unique weapon forgery and asked his generals, “What’s that?”

Zhang Tie and Bai Shan looked at each other at a loss. They were confused as well.

The trio saw fireworks.

A ball of purple and brilliant red exploded in the air, and countless sparks flew out while crackling in the sky.

There were no fireworks in Leprosy Village.

Surviving itself was a task that drained the villagers. They couldn’t afford the lavish hobby of lighting up fireworks.

But even if someone got fireworks from the world outside, they would definitely not light them up at this moment.

Besides, these fireworks were especially brilliant, bright, and did not disappear even after a long time had passed. It did not look like normal fireworks, but something an expert who had deep knowledge about monsters and crystals had processed and created.

When it was lit in front of Wild Wolf, it was as if it was beckoning him, telling him “I’m here, come and look for me!”

A spark lit up in Wild Wolf’s eyes.

He jumped down from the balcony dozens of meters high and ran to the place where the fireworks were lit.

Zhang Tie and Bai Shan could not stop him. They looked at each other and jumped down as well.

When they landed, Wild Wolf had already caught a boy by his neck. He was like an eagle holding a chick in its claws and tossed him to a corner of the courtyard.

Wild Wolf stared at the boy with a silver left eye and a sharp fang protruding from a corner of his lips, just like his own.

“Big Brother Wild Wolf?” The boy felt his world spin from the fall, but he did not care about the pain. He started shouting excitedly. “It’s really you! You’re the legendary Wild Wolf! Oh, thank goodness. Ms. Mulian can be saved now!”

Zhang Tie and Bai Shan were both shocked.

Wild Wolf’s eyes sparkled. He took half a step forward and lifted the boy again before he asked in a grim voice, “What did you say? Who are you? Where is Ms. Mulian?”

“I’m A’ji. I worked with Boss Feng, he’s Three Fingers Feng. Unfortunately, he kicked the bucket and was reduced to a pulp by the building!” A’Ji rambled. “I was lucky and barely escaped my death. While I was running away, I ran into Ms. Mulian. She asked me to look for you, Big Brother Wild Wolf!”

“Speak clearly! How is Ms. Mulian now?! Why didn’t she come here personally?! Why did she ask you to find me?!” Wild Wolf asked excitedly.

“Ms. Mulian is injured. I think she healed too many villagers and was affected by the explosion. I didn’t see it myself, so I don’t know what happened. I just know that she’s injured heavily and can’t walk,” A’Ji said seriously. “But I was saved by Ms. Mulian before, and I know that she’s the kindest person in the village. She needs help right now, so I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. That’s why I struck my chest and told Ms. Mulian—”

“Enough, you can tell me the other things later. Just tell me where Ms. Mulian is right now!” When Wild Wolf heard that Su Mulian was still alive but was heavily injured and could not move, he became anxious.

“Well...”

A’Ji looked around like he had something to say, but was hesitating.

“What’s going on?” Wild Wolf narrowed his eyes.

A’Ji craned his neck and did his best to draw close to Wild Wolf’s ear. He whispered at a volume that only Wild Wolf, Zhang Tie, and Bai Shan could hear him. “Big Brother Wild Wolf, Ms. Mulian told me to say these things only to you and the people you trust the most.

“Ms. Mulian said that she didn’t run into an accident, but was attacked intentionally.

“She also said that she discovered the enemy’s scheme. You should not trust the people who call themselves the secret police.

“Right now, she trusts no one aside from you and doesn’t dare to show up in the streets. She’s hiding and waiting for the Wild Wolves to help her. Then, she will personally tell you the truth.”
