"How can there be a wall made of ice here?"
Suddenly, everyone thought of the frost that Yun Xiaoxiao had released earlier.
"Was it done by Jiang Rui'an's daughter?"
"Yes, it must be. She wants to avenge her mother by trapping us here to die!"
Zhao Rongyan's eyes darkened. "Ram through it."
The driver was about to step on the gas.
Two people suddenly walked out from the side, blocking their car.
These two were Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng.
The group looked puzzled, not knowing where the two had come from.
"What should we do, Brother Yan?"
"Go down and ask them what they want."
"Alright."
After a while, the person who went to negotiate came back.
But he had a worried look on his face.
"Brother Yan, they want us to wait a bit longer."
"Wait? Brother Yan is so seriously injured, how can he afford to wait?!"
Du Wenwen shouted angrily.
"Did they say how long we need to wait?" Zhao Rongyan asked.
"They said they don't know either. When the time is right, we can leave."
"What do they mean by 'when the time is right'? They're clearly doing this on purpose!
First, they block us with an ice wall, then they tell us to wait. They obviously want to wear us down until we die!
I say, there are only two of them now. Why don't we just charge through?"
"But don't forget, that tall redhead can breathe fire!"
The others still had some reservations.
"Besides, the ice wall looks quite thick. I'm not sure if we can break through it."
"We can't just keep waiting like this, can we? Who knows if they're doing this intentionally? If they are, we'll never get their permission to leave even if we wait. Most importantly, Brother Yan can't wait that long!"
"Why don't we turn around and go the other way?"
"What if that side is blocked too? Wouldn't going back and forth waste even more time?"
"In that case, we might as well force our way through.
That redhead may be formidable, but we're not pushovers either with so many of us!"
"Right, that's correct!"
After reaching a consensus, everyone except Zhao Rongyan and the driver immediately opened the car doors and got out.
As soon as they exited, they surrounded Xiao Feng and Nie Yizhou.
"Well, well, planning to use your numbers to bully us?"
Nie Yizhou lazily curled his lips into a smile.
"Think you can handle this?"
He bumped Xiao Feng's shoulder.
Xiao Feng gave him a look, "Just take care of yourself and don't drag me down."
"Fine, then I'm out of here."
Nie Yizhou glanced at the modified van with its roaring engine and pursed his lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished.
Du Wenwen and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Where did he go?!
Just then, the sound of emergency brakes suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look, not understanding what was happening.
What they saw next shocked them.
Zhao Rongyan was being held at knifepoint!
Everyone's eyes trembled in fear.
"Isn't... isn't that the guy who just disappeared?!"
One person pointed in surprise at Nie Yizhou, who was now holding a knife to Zhao Rongyan's throat.
"Brother Yan!"
Du Wenwen and the others all tried to run over.
But a ball of raging fire blocked their path.
The scorching heat hit their faces.
The person who had run the fastest had a large chunk of their hair burned off.
"Ouch, ouch! It's so hot! Ahh, my hair is gone! I'm bald now!"
A cry of anguish rang out.
The others' hearts were racing too, and they quickly stopped in their tracks.
"I advise you not to move, or else I don't know what might happen to your Brother Yan."
Nie Yizhou's lips curled into a smile as he waved the knife near Zhao Rongyan's neck, his threat clear.
Before coming here, Little Ghost had told him not to harm this person.
Because his ability was very strange - the Rebound Ability.
Although he couldn't hurt the other party, it was still fine to use him as a threat.
Hearing Nie Yizhou's words, Du Wenwen and the others indeed didn't dare to move.
"Release our Base Commander's Heir quickly! Otherwise, Rongsheng Base will absolutely not let you get away with this!"
A man said with a grim face, snorting heavily.
"Oh? Is that a threat?" Nie Yizhou raised an eyebrow.
He patted his chest, "Oh my, I'm so scared~"
"Little Feng Feng, they say Rongsheng Base won't let us off. I'm terrified, you have to protect me~"
Xiao Feng beside him: ......
His eyebrows twitched violently, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
"Get lost! Try calling me Little Feng Feng again!"
"Tch, you have no sense of humor." Nie Yizhou pouted.
Seeing his serious threat completely ignored by Nie Yizhou, the man who spoke earlier became furious.
But with Zhao Rongyan in the enemy's hands, they didn't dare to act rashly.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing down on them, frustrating them to the point of wanting to bang their heads against a wall.
Looking at Nie Yizhou's playful eyes so close to him, and the gleaming knife at his throat, a cold light flashed in Zhao Rongyan's eyes.
If this continued, he would bleed to death!
No, he had to think of a way out.
The situation was too passive now.
If...
Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
A calculating look flashed in his eyes, one of someone ready to make a last-ditch effort.
He suddenly raised his hand and gripped the blade.
"Drive!"
"Brother Yan?!"
The driver looked at Zhao Rongyan, whose palm was now streaming with blood, his eyes widening in shock.
"I told you to drive, are you deaf?" Zhao Rongyan shouted, "Go! Ram through the ice wall, don't stop, drive straight back to the base!"
The driver was stunned for a moment.
Did this mean... abandoning the others?
He glanced at his companions outside, then steeled his heart and slammed on the accelerator.
"Fuck!"
Nie Yizhou hadn't expected this Zhao guy to be so ruthless, willing to harm himself just to break through the ice wall.
The wall couldn't be broken now.
The zombies inside hadn't been completely cleared out yet. If the ice wall shattered, zombies from outside would pour in, and all their previous efforts would be wasted!
Ignoring the pain in his palm, he snatched the knife back.
He wanted to give the other a good beating, but then remembered that if he beat him up, he'd get beaten up too. He immediately let out a beautiful string of Chinese curses.
And at that moment...
"Bang!"
The car crashed into the ice wall.
He lost his balance for a moment and his head hit the front seat, nearly making him see stars.
"Fuck!"
Seeing the car back up and prepare to ram forward again, he immediately flashed to the passenger seat and turned off the main switch.
The car came to an emergency stop, almost flipping over.
He nimbly flashed out of the car to the outside.
"Damn, that was close. Almost got myself killed."
He patted his chest, still feeling the lingering fear.
Outside, Xiao Feng was in the midst of a heated battle with Du Wenwen and the others.
Although they had the advantage of numbers, Xiao Feng still had the upper hand.
Nie Yizhou glanced at the scene and quickly looked away.
He teleported back into the car, intending to deal with the driver.
But as soon as he entered, the other person, as if anticipating his return, stabbed at his abdomen with a knife.
