Wen Le was unaware of the shock that Xiao Wen and Mo Yan were experiencing as he continued to ascend the stairs. He had previously told them that psychic abilities could leverage any point of force like walking on flat ground. But knowing it and actually trying it were two different things.
As he took each step up, Wen Le felt his brain filling with blood. Although his body was able to move in this way, the conflict between blood flow and the earth’s gravity was uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it was just a normal residential building. After Wen Le reached the top floor, he carefully approached the other side, since the increased height made the distance longer and the range of his psychic power relatively smaller. He could only observe the movements below with his naked eyes.
After observing the ground situation thoroughly, Wen Le confirmed that there were only two people lingering near the entrance of an underground mall not far away.
That should be the entrance to the underground mall that Mo Yan mentioned. Wen Le took out his telescope and carefully observed the two people at the door. Both were holding guns and were likely part of the group that Mo Yan mentioned as scumbags.
Putting down the telescope, Wen Le took out an ambush rifle, but he felt that it wasn’t suitable after aiming for a while. In order to take out the two people as quickly as possible, Wen Le hesitated for a moment and switched to his usual Desert Eagle. Although an ambush rifle was the best choice for long-range shooting, Wen Le only had a superficial understanding of it from watching others use it. If he made a mistake, the two people would have the chance to alert those inside, and Han Ya and the others’ situation would be compromised.
After carefully checking the silencer, Wen Le took a deep breath and aimed! He fired two shots in succession. Looking down, the two people who were originally standing at the entrance of the mall had fallen to the ground, and blood was slowly flowing from their bodies.
Wen Le put away his gun and ran downstairs. “Let’s go. We’ve taken care of the two at the entrance. We can’t be sure about what’s inside.”
Although Xiao Wen and Mo Yan were still in shock, they understood the urgency of the situation and followed Wen Le around the corner. Wen Le focused all of his attention on observing with his psychic power, carefully watching for any movement as he took each step.
The three of them slowly walked to the front of the mall. The two bodies in front of the door were both pierced in the head by bullets. After scanning them, Wen Le thought that he should use his usual firearms in any situation in the future. If he had really chosen the sniper rifle just now, it’s hard to say what the situation would be now. Xiao Wen and Mo Yan walked side by side, and Wen Le was responsible for observing and reminding behind them. As soon as they entered the mall, there was a staircase leading downwards. The three of them slowly descended, making no sound. As they went deeper inside, they saw more and more zombie corpses. It is conceivable that Yin Chengyang and his team also entered through this door and fired their guns. Almost there. Mo Yan made a hand gesture to Xiao Wen and turned around to explain to Wen Le. Wen Le nodded and retracted his spiritual power distributed behind him, spreading it forward together. The three of them walked forward for about twenty meters and stopped in front of a shop. Wen Le stopped his footsteps, feeling that the person behind him hadn’t caught up yet. Xiao Wen and Mo Yan also stopped and turned to look at Wen Le. Wen Le squinted and carefully scanned the place he had just passed with his spiritual power, feeling that there was something he hadn’t noticed. According to reason, it was impossible because his spiritual power had always been distributed around him…
Wen Le was stunned and unconsciously looked down at his feet. His mental power also extended underground, and the next moment, Mo Yan could only use “grim” to describe the expression on Wen’s face.
Warm bit his teeth tightly, not letting himself make any sound. Xie Wen quickly walked to his side and anxiously held Wen’s hand.
Wen Le silently expressed his most direct feeling through his mouth shape: scum!
Because the entrance stairs only extended to the basement, Wen Le did not expect there to be space under his feet. The moment he put his mental power down, Warm thought he saw hell.
Countless twisted and distorted corpses.
Human corpses.
Men’s, women’s, old people’s, children’s…
Every one of them had a very tragic death, with limbs torn off and guts spilled out.
Wen Le tightly held Xie Wen’s hand and took a long time to catch his breath, suppressing the anger that was about to explode in his heart.
Let’s go.
Wen Le spoke to Xiao Wen with a cold face.
Mo Yan turned around and walked ahead first.
He clearly saw that although Wen Shao’s expression was no longer fierce, his eyes were full of bloodshot veins, fleeting like a pair of blood-red eyes.
He had no doubt that Wen Shao now was like a giant bomb with a short fuse, ready to explode with tremendous power at any moment.
Wen Le not only paid attention to the movements on this floor, but also extended his mental power to cover the floor below. Although the scene below was too gruesome for him to look at, perhaps there were still survivors? It was precisely because he had seen the horror that he did not want to give up any hope.
After turning two corners, they arrived at the spot where those people had surrounded Han Ya. At this time, it was empty except for a pool of blood on the ground.
Mo Yan looked grimly at Xiao Wen, and they both looked at Wen Le.
Wen Le narrowed his blood-red eyes and carefully looked around, but did not find any movement.
Xiao Wen walked to the blood stain and carefully examined it, but found nothing. He then searched every inch of the surrounding area.
Suddenly, Wen Le quickly walked towards a shop that was scattered with small electrical appliances, and Xiao Wen and Mo Yan followed his movements. Wen Le walked to a fan, picked up its plug, and carefully looked at it. He beckoned to the other two when they walked over and pointed to a small burn mark on the plug.
Mo Yan took it over and touched it.
It was just recently burned.
Reading Mo Yan’s lips, Xiao Wen and Wen Le’s eyes lit up.
If they guessed correctly, this should have been left by Chen Ye. The burnt mark was very small and hard to notice, but if Wen Le scanned it with his psychic power, he could observe everything within the range of his psychic power very clearly, which was beyond human eyesight.
Wen Le remembered the direction he picked up the plug and put it back in its original position.
The three of them looked in the same direction.
Standing up, the three of them walked carefully in the direction they thought.
Wen Le didn’t find anything along the way, and as they approached the wall, they had to stop.
Xiao Wen reached out and touched the wall, and Wen Le looked at him in surprise. How could a normal shopping mall have a mechanism on the wall?
Wen Le thought for a moment and suddenly asked Mo Yan an unrelated question: “Is it cold here?”
Mo Yan paused for a moment, only then realizing that Wen Le and their boss were insensitive to temperature due to their abilities, and nodded.
Xiao Wen immediately realized why Wen Le asked this question and his heart sank. He exchanged a glance with Wen Le, and they both saw the same two words in each other’s eyes – “in trouble!”
“They’re not here!” Xiao Wen said in a low voice, no longer being careful not to make a sound. If those people really made this their stronghold, the temperature here couldn’t be too low. It had to be at least suitable for living.
Mo Yan was startled but quickly reacted. The three of them hurriedly ran back and forth on the road without paying attention to anything else.
Clap clap clap!
Three crisp claps sounded from the stairs they just came down.
“Not bad, you noticed it so quickly,” a hoarse voice said as a man slowly walked down the stairs, and the three of them silently watched.
“You were watching us from upstairs,” said Xiao Wen in a declarative tone.
It was not until the man walked down that the three of them got a clear look at his appearance.
As they say, looks can be deceiving, but now Wen Le had to doubt the truthfulness of this statement.
The man, around forty years old, had sword-like eyebrows and deep peach blossom eyes. He had a tall nose and thin lips, and his body was about 1.8 meters tall. He was obviously a very handsome middle-aged man.
However, the murderous aura emanating from the man’s body made Wen Le not be fooled by his appearance.
The man scanned the three of them and finally looked at Wen Le’s face.
Xiao Wen clearly saw the flash of surprise and desire in the man’s eyes, and his anger surged. He took a step diagonally to block Wen Le in front of him.
The man smiled and said, “I saw this little kid’s behavior outside just now and was curious. What kind of ability do you have?”
Wen Le cursed himself in his heart for being careless. The situation was already clear. They had caught the people who had been watching them just now in a certain building outside, clearly observing their every move.
Thinking about how careful they were just now was like a joke.
“Where are they?” Wen Le pushed Xiao Wen away.
Just now, Warmth could clearly see the emotions flashing in the man’s eyes, just as he was sensitive to these disgusting desires more than anyone else, considering he had died under them before. But he couldn’t hide behind Xiao Wen any longer, as the man’s interest was clearly directed towards him and Han Ya and the others were still in the man’s hands.
“Do you want to see them?” The man in front of him asked with a seductive smile, as he stared back at the handsome young man with a fixed gaze.
Wen Le returned him a smile, but it was a sarcastic one.
“Interesting,” the man said softly, before clapping his hands. The sound of footsteps approached from the staircase.
The next moment, Han Ya and his two companions were brought before them.
As for Wen Le, he could only hear a buzzing sound in his ears, his mind was clouded, and his eyes were fixed on Han Ya, whose clothes were torn and who was covered in blood. He couldn’t see Yin Chengyang, who was also covered in blood, or Chen Ye, whose leg was twisted in an unusual way.
He couldn’t hear any sound, nor could he see anything except for Han Ya.
Han Ya, who had been taken down, looked first at their boss with full of resentment, but could only force out a smile in resignation. When he looked at Wen Le, he was stunned.
He didn’t care about the gun behind him, nor the situation they were in.
“Wen Shao! Wen Shao! Boss! Wen Shao, this is not right!”
All the people present, regardless of which side they were on, were shocked by Han Ya’s scream. Xiao Wen and the others had never seen Han Ya so terrified, and the group of people holding them had never heard him scream in such terror, even though they had previously wanted to insult him, even though his other two companions were tortured in front of him.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Wen Le, who Han Ya was staring at.
Wen Le’s eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding, and blue veins bulged out of every inch of his exposed fair skin on his face, neck, and hands.
Xiao Wen reached out to grab Wen Le, sensing that something was wrong, but was shocked by Wen Le’s next move.
Wen Le’s mind went blank, feeling something approaching him. He reflexively pulled out his gun and fired a shot.
If it weren’t for Xiao Wen’s speed ability, he would have died on the spot!
As he stared at Han Ya, one could notice that the bruises on his body were only on the upper half, with no marks below the waist. However, Wen Le didn’t observe this detail and only saw the bruised chest, which reminded him of his own past when he was at the mercy of others.
With Wen Le’s shot at Xiao Wen, a strange silence fell over the staircase.
Yin Chengyang and Chen Ye, ignoring the pain from their injuries, stared in shock at Wen Le and Xiao Wen.
Was their sweet love all a lie? What was happening here?!
Xiao Wen, after reflexively dodging the bullet, looked at Wen Le with confusion, but when he saw the look in Wen Le’s eyes, he calmed down.
There was no focus in Wen Le’s gaze, and even after shooting at him, his attention remained on Han Ya.
Xiao Wen didn’t know what was wrong with Wen Le, but he understood that the shot wasn’t meant for him, and that their love had nothing to do with their recent behavior.
Thanks for the chapter!
Cliff!! 😭
Thanks for the update!! 🤬
