Chapter 182: Chapter 116 Ruins (First Update)

Liu Meng’s central residential area was guarded; aside from those living inside, no one else could approach. The skinny man hadn’t even gotten close before the dark muzzle of a gun was aimed at him.

Someone shouted, "Stop! Who are you? What are you here for?"

The skinny man looked at the dark gun barrel, his face turning pale with fright and quickly tried to appease with a grin, "Don’t—! Wait! Please, let’s talk, can you put the gun away first?" Seeing that the other party didn’t react, he steeled himself and said, "Here’s the thing, my name is Li Fugui, I have extremely important news, I need to see Master Meng, brother, could you please help me out?"

That person remained unmoved, bluntly asking, "What’s the matter?" After finishing, seeing Li Fugui hesitating and unwilling to speak, the guard pushed the gun barrel slightly forward, his index finger on the trigger, he warned displeasedly, "Master Meng has no time to see you, whatever you have to say, you can tell me just the same."

Li Fugui purposefully came here, even enduring being pillaged by the security guard at the gate of the residential district, all to personally meet Liu Meng and relay the message to him. But once he got here, he realized that the people here were even less likely to let him meet Liu Meng!

Realizing this, he was filled with remorse; had he known, he might as well have passed the message directly to the security guard! Now his possessions were gone, and he stood to lose out on the credit as well!

With the dark gun barrel aimed at his chest, he didn’t dare to resist, so he obediently said, "I... I’ll tell you, it’s like this, I just spotted a fat sheep outside! So I hurried here to report it to Master Meng!"

"Oh?" The man with the gun’s eyes brightened, clearly interested, "Continue, who came? Can you tell where they are from? Are they from outside, or some other Safe Zone?"

There was more than one Safe Zone in the old city district, several others though they were all quite small, nothing compared to the one occupied by the military outside the city.

They had stayed in the old city for a few days and had some idea about people from other Safe Zones. The man asked in this manner, clearly already contemplating robbery, simply worried it might be people from another Safe Zone and that it could lead to unnecessary trouble.

Li Fugui was well aware of some of the unspoken rules around these parts and with a sleazy smile, he said, "Don’t worry; I have it all scoped out, they’re definitely from outside. That SUV was so pretty! An absolute fat sheep!"

The eyes of the man with the gun grew brighter still; he asked impatiently, "How many of them are there? Do you know their strength? Are there any superpower users among them?"

Li Fugui was an Ordinary Person; he couldn’t sense energy fluctuations, naturally unaware if there were any superpower users among them. He recalled briefly, a malicious thought crossing his mind and said, "Two SUVs and two heavy motorcycles, all top brands, you could tell they run really well just by looking! You can’t see the people in the cars, but I think there aren’t many, and there was a beauty riding a bike, looked just like a movie star!"

He paused there a moment, rubbing his hands together and let out a few "heh heh" laughs, winking at the man with the gun. The man’s gaze grew heated; luxury cars plus a beautiful girl, he liked this combination very much!

Li Fugui, watching the ardor in his eyes, felt increasingly pleased with himself and continued, "Whether there are superpower users among them, I don’t know, but even if there are, so what? With Master Meng taking action, isn’t it still an easy catch?"

The man with the gun nodded, seeming to agree with this sentiment. He asked even more urgently, "What else did you see? Do you know where they’re heading?"

Li Fugui had been paying attention; he answered without hesitation, "Don’t worry, I got it all, considering the direction they were heading, looks like they’re going toward the commercial district ruins."

After asking a few more questions and seeing that Li Fugui had nothing more to say, the man said, "Alright, go back and wait. If the news is true, we won’t forget your share!"

With that, the man turned, walking briskly toward the place where Liu Meng lived.

Realizing that the credit was slipping away, Li Fugui felt an uncomfortable sense of frustration and hesitated before deciding to stay and wait. If Master Meng came out, he would boldly volunteer his service. Otherwise, it was as if he had lost both his wife and his soldiers!

Soon, an SUV sped out from the inside. Li Fugui didn’t dare to block its path, simply waving his hand and calling out, "Master Meng! Master Meng!"

The car quickly stopped, the door opened, and someone shouted at him, "Get in the car!"
