Chapter 404 - Chapter 404 Chapter 400 The Night Raider

Chapter 404: Chapter 400 The Night Raider Chapter 404: Chapter 400 The Night Raider Hearing Ye Lingchen’s words, Yu Linger bit her lip tightly, displaying an expression of having something to say but stopping herself. They were all from noble families; no matter how innocent and sweet one could be, how naive could they truly be?

Yu Linger naturally knew that what Ye Lingchen said was right, and she understood the underlying message in his words.

Tom caught Yu Linger’s expression in his eyes and hesitated before asking, “Miss Yu, are you coming with us, or…”

Tom didn’t finish his sentence.

But those who understood, understood all too well.

The unspoken question was obviously whether Yu Linger wanted to stay and wait for her brother.

Yu Linger hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “I’ll go with you guys.”

“I hope Sister Xiaocao has some communication devices that can contact the outside world, so I can ask my family for help and have someone come find my brother.”

Just leaving like this, Yu Linger was very unwilling.

But Yu Linger also knew herself well.

She knew that without anyone to stay with her and wait for Yu Tianqi, she couldn’t survive on her own.

And…

She would be scared alone.

After much hesitation, she had no choice but to leave with the others.

“What about Miss Chen Xiao?”

Tom asked for Chen Xiao’s opinion.

“With Lingling leaving, of course I can’t stay behind. Besides, I’m wounded; I wouldn’t be of any help even if I stayed,” said Chen Xiao with a weak smile.

Tom nodded, “Then gather your belongings, we must leave immediately.”

“So soon?”

“Isn’t it unsafe to travel too late?”

Hearing Tom’s statement, Yu Linger instinctively wanted to persuade Tom to stay another night here.

Tom’s smile faded, “We still have a long way to go, but if Miss Yu wishes to stay, I can provide you with some weapons for self-defense.”

Tom didn’t coddle Yu Linger.

He directly replied with a smile, but firmly.

Except for Fang Xiaocao, nobody could make Tom change his plans, let alone accommodate someone.

Yu Linger’s face turned pale, and she closed her mouth.

She knew she had made Tom unhappy.

In the current environment, angering the only source of safety was clearly unwise.

If Tom decided to leave her behind, neither Ye Lingchen nor Chen Xiao would speak up for her, let alone worry about her safety or stay with her.

“Since nobody has any objections, let’s hurry up and pack, we must hit the road as soon as possible.”

Tom’s face was once again adorned with a smile.

Without paying any more attention to the others, he turned and walked towards the corpses of the lizardmen.

Tom squatted in front of the lizardmen’s bodies, pulled out a pair of latex gloves and a mask from his pocket, and after putting them on properly, he drew a dagger and began dissecting the lizardmen corpses.

Tom’s skill was proficient, and his movements were fluid, reminiscent of a skilled chef expertly butchering meat.

Soon, he had stripped the scaled keratin layer from the abdomen of the lizardmen, opening their cavities.

Tom used the dagger to fiddle with the lizardmen’s innards, looking here and there before quickly losing interest, shaking his head in disappointment, “This must be someone who’s contracted some bizarre disease, right?”

Tom, disgusted, discarded the dagger and stood up, throwing away the gloves and mask as well.

He then took out a Pokeball and pressed the button.

As the red light on the Pokeball began to blink, Tom casually threw the Pokeball into the middle of the lizardmen’s corpses.

“Hummingbird, let’s go!” Tom called out.

Saying this, he walked towards the pickup truck without looking back.

As for waiting for Ye Lingchen and the others…

Tom indicated that those who wanted to keep up didn’t need to wait.

Tom and the others got into the vehicle one after another.

Fortunately, the raptor pickup was big enough.

The back row could fit three people.

Seeing that Ye Lingchen and his party had all gotten into the vehicle, Tom started the engine, and with a press of the accelerator, the raptor pickup shot out like an arrow.

The Taotie on night watch got to enjoy the pleasure of being flanked early.

However…

What Taotie held in his arms wasn’t beauties.

Instead, it was Brainless and Unhappy.

The desert’s temperature varied greatly between day and night, scorchingly hot during the day but somewhat cool at night.

Without enough firewood to make a fire, Taotie could only cuddle up with Brainless and Unhappy.

Brainless and Unhappy had long fur all over their bodies.

Cuddling with them was quite warm.

They were like two low-quality plush toys.

Apart from being a bit ugly and smelly, they had no major flaws, at least to the taste of Taotie, who wasn’t too picky.

Suddenly!

Taotie, who had been resting with his eyes closed, snapped them open.

Looking around, he realized Brainless and Unhappy had long since woken up and were staring intently in a certain direction.

Taotie raised an eyebrow and looked over as well.

There was some movement in that direction.

The three of them lay in the bed of the pickup truck, clinging to its edge and watching a shadow stealthily approaching the campsite.

As the shadow drew closer, Taotie revealed a ferocious smile.

“You’ve messed with the wrong person…”

Taotie muttered to himself, ready to make a move.

However, someone was faster than him.

Swooosh–

Brainless and Unhappy leapt out of the truck bed before Taotie could act.

Taotie rolled his eyes, “Why are you two stealing kills?”

Saying that, Taotie also jumped out.

By now, Brainless and Unhappy were already fighting with that shadow.

Approaching, Taotie recognized the shadow, much to his surprise.

“It’s actually Helan Xiaoyue. What’s this woman sneakily trying to do?”

Taotie wondered to himself.

Unhappy had already fought against Helan Xiaoyue before, and she was no match for him.

Now, with Brainless helping,

Helan Xiaoyue was even less of a match.

Watching the fight appeared evenly matched, but in reality, Helan Xiaoyue was being passively beaten.

If it weren’t for the sharp daggers in her hands, which prevented Unhappy and Brainless from advancing carelessly, Helan Xiaoyue would have probably been taken down by now.

Seeing that Helan Xiaoyue was obviously no match for Unhappy and Brainless, Taotie also couldn’t be bothered to join in and stood aside with his arms crossed, watching as if it were a show to relieve his boredom.

Bang–

Just as Taotie was enjoying the show, a gunshot suddenly rang out, making Taotie subconsciously shrink his neck and look in the direction of the sound to see Fang Xiaocao holding an AK47, standing in front of the tent with a fierce gaze in their direction.

The shot had been fired by Fang Xiaocao.

This time, whether Fang Xiaocao had guessed or her marksmanship had truly improved,

she actually hit Helan Xiaoyue’s dagger with one shot, embedding the bullet into the blade.

The immense force from the bullet in the blade caused Helan Xiaoyue’s dagger to fly out of her hand instantly.

Her hand that was holding the dagger dislocated and hung powerlessly by her side.

Even so, Helan Xiaoyue continued to resist in desperation, waving the dagger in her other hand to fend off the attacks from Unhappy and Brainless.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao frowned slightly, sensing something off about Helan Xiaoyue’s state.

“Taotie, something’s amiss with her, take her down.”

Fang Xiaocao commanded Taotie.

With Fang Xiaocao’s command, Taotie couldn’t afford to slack off anymore, drew a long dagger, and lunged forward, his blade slashing towards Helan Xiaoyue…
