Apocalypse: I’m the Landlady of the Refuge
Chapter 106: The Four Elders

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Four Elders

"Hey! No shouting, all right!"

Xu Siming had just steadied himself when he heard a ghastly howl and, without thinking, unleashed Ice Seal on the crowd in front of him over a wide area.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

The people were frozen, but the alarm system was still triggered because of that scream.

As disordered footsteps echoed up from the stairwell, the trio who had landed: "..."

Xu Siming cast a resentful glance at the frozen group of people, who instinctively wanted to shudder but couldn’t move.

Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Since we didn’t plan to carry anyone on our backs, let’s get started!"

The three of them quickly began their sweep, starting from the first floor, leaving no room unchecked. They took anything useful they saw, freed any trapped people they happened upon, and gathered any suspicious materials.

Wherever the trio went, there was chaos; the entire Bath City building turned into a hot mess.

They had just cleared the top floor where Hu Die’s office was when a dull thud of something heavy landing on the roof echoed through the building, shaking it.

"Autumn!"

Choked by the dust that fell, Ji Wanwan sneezed repeatedly, "This is bad, I’m afraid backup has arrived! Let’s hurry and leave!"

"You think you can just leave? Clang—"

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, Hu Peng, who Ji Wanwan had seen before, broke in through the window, followed by a burly Corpse Man.

Hu Peng moved his wrists, and countless Flying Blades appeared out of nowhere, encircling Ji Wanwan and her two companions, "Little girl, the Baize Union isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please! You want to leave, did you ask for my permission?"

Both possessing Gold Element Superpowers, the energy emanating from Hu Peng was obviously much stronger than Hu Die’s.

And this time, Hu Peng was clearly much stronger than when they had encountered him at the underground casino!

Ji Wanwan didn’t respond but looked past Hu Peng to the figure standing behind him.

Had Baize arrived?

"Boom boom boom!"

Noise from the ground level indicated that more people had approached where Xingxing and the others were.

Ji Wanwan looked at Hu Peng with a mocking smile, "You think you can stop me from leaving?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Ji Wanwan, pulling along Xu Siming and Zhou Kai, teleported away in an instant.

Hu Peng was not surprised; instead, a fleeting devilish red light flashed in his eyes, and he became excited.

This little girl was truly interesting, so weak yet daring to confront them!

Handling these green, inexperienced brats didn’t require the base lord to step in personally; the Four Elders were more than enough!

Hu Peng casually glanced back at the Corpse Man, who immediately understood and crouched down, allowing Hu Peng to mount his back. They then leaped straight out of the window they came through, landing on the ground.

By then, Ji Wanwan and her companions, after teleporting, were standing together.

At this moment, Bath City was encircled by a horde of zombies, but they seemed to have received orders to stay outside without moving.

Within the area of Bath City, in addition to Ji Wanwan’s group of six, she also saw two unfamiliar faces and three Corpse Men.

The energy emanating from these two strangers was not weak, and it wasn’t difficult to guess that they were two of the elders, Yazi Xiong Biao and Suan Ni Zhao Liang.

Besides them, Ji Wanwan spotted a familiar Corpse Man among the three, Tian Yu!

It appeared that the Baize Union’s elite forces were all here!

A robust, mighty-looking man surveyed the expressions of the six people before finally fixing his gaze on Ji Wanwan, "The base lord?"

Of the six, only two were women, and Xia Li looked so straightforward, like someone who wouldn’t overthink, making it not difficult to guess she was the base lord.

Ji Wanwan was utterly blunt, "Isn’t that obvious?"

The man’s deep, distinctive voice carried a laugh before it suddenly turned grim, "Since you’ve brought so many people to their deaths, then I’ll show no mercy!"

As he spoke, the ground beneath the feet of Ji Wanwan and her group began to churn.

Earth Element Superpower!

This man was Yazi Xiong Biao!

Indeed, as his name suggested, he was burly and fierce!

At the same time, Hu Peng from upstairs also came down.

A barrage of Flying Blades aimed straight for the six, while Suan Ni Zhao Liang’s Flame Fist also struck at the same time.

Along with searing Fire Snakes, Corpse Men following the trio, except for Tian Yu, also sprang into action.

All attacks came head-on, but Ji Wanwan instantly drew up a Space Barrier, blocking all damage.

Just as she contemplated whether to teleport everyone to safety, Xia Li’s voice made her stop her thoughts.

"Wanwan, shall we fight?" Xia Li flicked the blood off her machete, ready to leap into battle at any command.

Xu Siming, too, conjured water-blue energy in his palms, his expression ruthless like a lone wolf ready to pounce, "If we can take them all down in one go, I could brag about this for three days!"

Xingxing wasn’t about to be outdone, "Sister, shall we fight? These guys and their zombie bodyguards must be high-ranking members of the Baize Union. Taking them down will definitely hit their morale hard!"

The typically cautious Qi Hao was surprisingly staunch this time, "Xingxing is right. We can’t come all this way and leave empty-handed! Let’s finish them off!"

Even Zhou Kai, who lacked superpowers, was quietly loading his gun.

In such a serious moment, they actually managed to make Ji Wanwan laugh.

What a bunch of goofballs. Do they think this is a game? Ridiculous!

But they were not wrong. With the exception of Hu Die, who was in a space, the other three of the Four Elders were present. Taking them down while Baize was away would be like cutting off Baize’s arms.

With her Space Superpower and Equivalence Healing as a safety net, if things went south, she could just run. Knocking one down before fleeing was still a win—at least it wouldn’t be a loss!

Within the barrier, Ji Wanwan quickly strategized the impending battle. Outside, the three men and four zombies seemed eager to tear a piece of flesh from their bones the moment they dared emerge.

"Charge! Kill them all!!"

Suddenly, within the Space Barrier, a beautiful girl in a striking red outfit shouted and raised her machete, slashing it down in front of her.

Outside the barrier, the three men and four zombies, who were ready for a fight, burst forward towards the six people.

But in the next second, the group on the ground vanished into thin air.

The three men: "?"

Xiong Biao hesitated, "They ran?"

Hu Peng scoffed coldly, "These girls always ran at the underground casino; they never dare to fight head-on. Trash will always be trash!"

Zhao Liang, however, disagreed, "Don’t underestimate them; their strength is not weak."

When nothing happened after a short wait, Hu Peng gave Zhao Liang a disdainful look, "Told you they’re just cowards. A bunch of kids scaring you like that, you’re such a wuss. I really don’t know what the boss saw in you!"

Zhao Liang’s face went pale with anger, yet he remained alert.

Xiong Biao, finding no further developments, found it boring and curled his lip, "Well, if they’re gone, they’re gone. Let’s find Hu Die first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground was suddenly sealed with a vast layer of ice, and both Xiong Biao and Hu Peng, caught off guard, were instantly frozen...
