Chapter 387: 218 Chaotic Settlement (Second Update)

This was the reason he felt uneasy!

He intuitively knew that the people arriving this time were out of the ordinary; ordinary people wouldn’t have such nice cars. This speculation filled him with fear. How could those people be so bold and reckless to target these individuals?

If these people were truly as formidable as he speculated, then those people’s behaviors were essentially digging their own graves!

Yet on deeper reflection, he thought he was probably overthinking it. Could anyone really be stronger than Brother Feng? When thinking about Brother Feng’s methods and capabilities, a shiver ran down his spine and he felt chilling coldness through his bones.

Nonetheless, he decided to temporarily step out and lie low.

He did not want to die!

Thus, he took his men, on the pretext of patrolling, and moved further and further away from the settlement. Initially, others didn’t think much of it, but gradually they sensed something was off. One person said, "Brother Cui, something’s not right. Aren’t we getting further away? Why are we traveling so far? The higher-ups didn’t say we were to patrol this far away, did they?"

Brother Cui was unfazed and simply gave that person a cold look, then spoke chillingly, "Am I the captain or are you the captain? This is the order from above, do you dare disobey?"

Upon finishing his words, his cold and sharp gaze pierced the faces of the others like a knife, causing a piercing pain. Moreover, as a superpower user, once he released his aura, these ragtags Ordinary People were completely unable to withstand it.

Soon, the faces of those people paled, and they didn’t dare to defy him anymore.

Brother Cui saw everyone’s reactions, not surprised in the least, and noticed the resentful looks in the eyes of some. He committed everything to memory and calmingly said, "I’m doing this for your sake, and as for the reasons, you don’t need to know them now, but you’ll understand later."

His words carried a somewhat recalcitrant tone. Although a few individuals dismissed his words, thinking he was irrational, others sensed a profound and bleak sentiment, which subconsciously made them worried.

But those few who showed resentful looks, who were already quite displeased with Brother Cui, simply did not take his words to heart. Observing their reactions, a swift flash of murderous intent crossed Brother Cui’s lowered eyes.

He was not the type to sit around and wait for death. Those people in the cars earlier truly frightened him from the bottom of his heart, a rather peculiar intuition; yet, it was this very intuition that often saved his life!

Brother Cui never doubted his own instincts, so he subconsciously decided to evade. Logically, as a member of the settlement, he ought to consider its well-being and alert his companions of any formidable enemies, not flee by himself.

But he was a coward and also harbored no affection toward the other members of the settlement; he felt not the slightest gratitude toward the higher-ups.

Although he was not a good man, the actions of the higher-ups were even more disheartening!

In fact, it wasn’t just him; many other members of the settlement felt the same. They had established a Safe Zone and appeared unified, but in reality, the place was rife with oppression, enslavement, and darkness!

Brother Cui, being a superpower user, was somewhat better off compared to the Ordinary People who, except for a few strong ones, lived lives worse than those of animals!

Brother Cui lacked the ability to change everything, but in his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with the actions of the higher-ups. Therefore, this time, with his uneasy feeling, his emotions were quite complex.

He desperately hoped that the person they had deceived into coming was as powerful as he had speculated, someone who could eliminate all those boastful higher-ups, yet at the same time, he worried that without these higher-ups, their days would be even worse.

After all, the lower-ranked people like himself truly lacked power; although the higher-ups implemented tyrannical policies, their strength was considerable, providing some peace of mind to others. Otherwise, if formidable zombies came, they would have only death awaiting them!

With these complex emotions, Brother Cui glanced in the direction of the settlement and unhesitantly led his men further away.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuxin and her group had already encountered several patrol squads and eventually arrived at the entrance of the settlement.

The settlement was really too small, so it only had one gate for entry and exit. However, the people here were fairly clever; although the Protection Wall was only three meters high with what seemed to be just over twenty centimeters in thickness, appearing rather flimsy, they had dug a deep trench outside the wall, effectively encasing the entire settlement inside.

Upon their arrival, a gate made of wooden bars, exuding a somewhat barbaric aura, slowly swung open, and then twenty weapon-wielding individuals emerged from inside.

Each person had a stern face, their eyes cautiously yet greedily sizing up the three SUVs.

Chen Qiao parked the car at the front; the road here wasn’t wide, and the three vehicles could only be lined up end to end and couldn’t be parked side by side.

Two girls quickly opened the car doors, their faces brimming with smiles as they greeted the people coming out from the gate.

"Brother Wang, we’re back! These are guests we brought back; they’re just asking for directions."

The person at the front nodded, seemingly the one they referred to as Brother Wang. Then, seeing that the people in the cars weren’t getting out, his expression slightly darkened, his tone carrying slight discontent as he said, "Everyone entering the settlement must be inspected, guests included. Everyone in the cars, come out. As long as you pass the inspection and prove to be problem-free, you can enter."

As soon as these words were spoken, the car doors opened one after another. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote using the monthly ticket and recommended ticket at Qidian [qidian.com]. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
