When Xiao Feng had vented most of his anger, everyone prepared to return.
Under Nie Yizhou's lead, they made their way to the outskirts of the city.
Yun Xiaoxiao brought out the RV, and the group got inside.
As the vehicle started moving, Yun Xiaoxiao also summoned Big Beauty from her spatial storage.
"Come on, be good and drink this," she said.
She took out a bottle of level-one evolution liquid, opened the cap, and placed it in front of Big Beauty.
Her tone and demeanor were such that if one didn't know better, they might think she was a villain trying to trick someone into drinking poison.
Big Beauty, thinking it was something tasty, eagerly lapped up the evolution liquid from the bottle.
After drinking, it pursed its lips and looked excitedly at Yun Xiaoxiao.
It seemed to be saying, "Delicious, I want more!"
Nearby, Little Cutie lazily sprawled on the ground, lifting its eyes disdainfully.
How unsophisticated...
Ling Jing lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, resting with his eyes closed.
And so, Big Beauty drank many bottles of level-one evolution liquid.
Its fur became noticeably shinier.
The intelligence in its eyes also seemed to increase.
Seeing Big Beauty's changes, Yun Xiaoxiao was delighted and was about to give it a bottle of level-two evolution liquid to drink.
Suddenly, the vehicle swayed and came to an abrupt stop.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing immediately went to the small window.
"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
Nie Yizhou pointed to a group of people fighting not far away.
"It looks like the group we met yesterday. They're fighting with someone else again."
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and looked into the distance. She saw several vehicles parked on the side road to the left of the highway.
Ci Wan and her group were engaged in a fierce battle with some burly men.
Many bodies already lay on the ground.
"Should we go help?" Nie Yizhou turned to ask.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the scene, raising her eyebrows.
"Yes," she said. "But with conditions."
She wasn't about to do business at a loss.
As Ci Wan and her group were struggling to fight back, suddenly, a thick vine shot out at high speed, wrapping around the neck of a man in front of Ci Wan.
In an instant, the man's face turned purple from strangulation, barely able to breathe, with his tongue sticking out.
Everyone was startled and quickly turned to look at the source of the vine.
They saw a very cute young girl standing casually to the side, playing with a green vine in her hand.
There was a smile on her lips that, despite its innocence, sent chills down people's spines.
On her right shoulder crawled a black scorpion.
If its legs hadn't been moving, it would have looked fake.
To her left stood a majestic tiger.
Behind her stood three tall, imposing men.
This combination looked strange, yet somehow harmonious.
"Who are you? Release our man immediately!" demanded one of the women, who had a bewitching appearance, looking at Yun Xiaoxiao and her group with displeasure.
Yun Xiaoxiao gave her a brief glance, not bothering to respond further, and instead turned to Ci Wan.
"Sister Ci Wan, what's going on here?" she asked.
Every time she saw them, they were in such a sorry state.
Ci Wan's eyes darkened. "Chang Bing's brother, Chang Li, plotted against my father and his subordinates. By the time we got back, the base had completely changed hands."
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with hatred as she recalled the scene of her father, his trusted allies, and their families fighting desperately, falling one by one in pools of blood.
"Enough talk! I advise you to mind your own business and get as far away as possible!" the bewitching woman snapped impatiently.
"How about this: two thousand level-one zombie cores plus fifty level-two cores, and we'll help you kill them all?" Yun Xiaoxiao once again ignored the woman's words, smiling at Ci Wan.
Her words were extremely brazen.
As if killing these people would be as easy as cutting vegetables.
Ci Wan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
"Deal."
Never mind two thousand level-one cores and fifty level-two cores.
Even if it were tens of thousands of cores, she would agree without hesitation.
Their group had been fighting non-stop since last night, without a moment's rest, and they were completely exhausted.
But Chang Li had no intention of letting them go, sending many people to hunt them down mercilessly.
Along the way, they had already lost many people!
If they kept fighting like this, they had no chance of survival.
They couldn't die; they still had a blood debt to repay!
Never mind the cores, as long as Yun Xiaoxiao could save them, once they had their revenge, even if Yun Xiaoxiao asked for her life, she wouldn't utter a sound!
"How preposterous! You think you can just kill as you please? Who do you think you are? And who do you think we are?!" the bewitching woman fumed.
"You're barely out of diapers and you dare to speak so arrogantly. You truly don't know what's good for you!
Kill them! Let them know that some boasts can cost you your tongue!"
She ordered the others.
Then, she raised her gun and aimed at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Bang!"
The bullet shot out, hurtling towards Yun Xiaoxiao.
The others sprang into action as well.
The battle erupted in an instant.
But a few seconds later, they regretted it.
Because...
The other side was too strong; they couldn't win at all!
The bewitching woman clutched her bleeding shoulder, her eyes wide with shock.
Watching her companions fall one by one, her heart was in turmoil.
That little brat really hadn't been wrong earlier; killing people really did seem simple for them!
At the start, they had had an overwhelming advantage in numbers and strength.
But as soon as those few arrived, the tide of battle completely turned!
They became the ones being beaten down.
She wanted to flee now, but there was no escape.
Those few people, along with that giant scorpion and tiger, were just too fierce.
Damn it, where the hell did they come from?!
Talk about the worst luck ever!
If she had known they were this powerful, she would have led her people away earlier!
But no matter how much she regretted it now, the outcome of this battle was already decided. They were destined to be the losers.
In less than twenty minutes, they were all lying on the ground.
Ci Wan and her group collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Some leaned against the vehicles, while others simply collapsed on the ground.
After nearly twenty hours of fighting and fleeing, their bodies were beyond exhausted.
If it weren't for the intense hatred sustaining them, they probably couldn't have persevered for so long.
Thankfully, they had held on; otherwise, they would have died with regrets.
Ci Wan walked up to Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.
"Thank you for saving us again," she said, her tone full of gratitude and a sense of relief.
"Sister Ci Wan, what are your plans now?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked, glancing at Ci Wan's companions.
Besides the bald man, the man with the explosive hairstyle, and the middle-aged man she had seen before, there was also a woman in her thirties and three men in their thirties or forties.
Ci Wan's eyes darkened, flashing with determination and resolve.
"Improve our strength and fight our way back!"
Her parents and many relatives and friends had all been killed by that treacherous Chang Li.
She swore she wouldn't rest until this blood debt was repaid!
