Chapter 183: Chapter 116 Ruins (First Update)_2

Li Fugui’s heart leaped with joy, and he hurried onto the SUV. Once there, he realized there were no seats left. Liu Meng was spread across the space of two people, showing no intention of offering a seat. With a cigar in his mouth and a pistol in his hand, Liu Meng squinted down at Li Fugui from his lofty position and asked, "Is it you who spotted the fat sheep?"

Without a seat, Li Fugui could only sit pitifully on a blanket, tilting his sharp, thin head up and smiling obsequiously as he said, "Indeed, it was I who saw them, Master Meng, I can show you the way."

Liu Meng looked at him with icy eyes, his piercing gaze cutting into him like a knife. Suddenly, Li Fugui began to regret his actions; he felt that the Liu Meng before him was a ferocious tiger, not someone he could afford to provoke!

The regret lingered in his heart for only a moment, soon overtaken by greed and ambition. The potential benefits of following Liu Meng were more compelling to him than the danger Liu Meng represented!

He was tired of the daily abuse and the constant fear of death. If he could curry favor with Liu Meng through this incident, even if it meant acting like a dog by his side, he was willing to do so!

With a plan in mind, Li Fugui began to diligently navigate. After leaving the residential complex, the car twisted and turned through the alleys, quickly arriving at the location where Li Fugui had first encountered Fang Yuxin and her companions.

Pointing excitedly in one direction, Li Fugui said, "Over there! That’s the way they went!"

Liu Meng glanced in another direction, unable to resist asking, "Did you see which way they came from?"

Puzzled, Li Fugui obediently pointed in the direction from which Fang Yuxin and her group had arrived. Upon seeing this, the expressions of the others in the SUV changed.

Liu Meng asked someone beside him, "Isn’t Lao San handling things over there?"

The person nodded and said, "Looks like these people have good luck, not running into Third Master. Otherwise, Master Meng, there’d be no need for you to make a move!"

Liu Meng narrowed his eyes, looking suspiciously in that direction, suddenly feeling uneasy. However, after considering the strength of his subordinates, he dismissed his worries. Although Lao San wasn’t as strong as him, he was no pushover. With a gun in hand and plenty of men, who could challenge them unless they faced military forces?

This old district was remote, home to neither celebrities nor nobility—military forces wouldn’t extend their reach this quickly.

With this thought, he calmed himself. He had spent most of his time in recent days cultivating, unaware that he had reached a bottleneck. He had a premonition that if he could just break through this barrier, his strength would rise to a new level. But no matter what he did, the breakthrough eluded him, how could he not be anxious?

Therefore, upon hearing the news, he planned to take a trip himself. Novels always said it wasn’t enough to just cultivate, right? When the protagonist encountered a bottleneck, wasn’t it always a fight that allowed them to level up?

Since the apocalypse began, Liu Meng had been lucky, which subconsciously filled him with a sense of mission and pride. He thought he must be the protagonist from the novels; if the storyline followed that of the books, he would surely dominate the world!

Reminded of the hot-blooded novels he once read, Liu Meng’s excitement grew, and any unease was cast aside.

His good mood persisted until they neared the ruins.

The destruction was severe here, but despite that, people still searched the area for supplies. Initially, no one came, but as resources elsewhere became scarce, survivors had no choice but to turn their attention to these ruins.

This was a commercial district, lined with shops and therefore rich in resources. The downside was that everything was buried under bricks and rubble, making it difficult to unearth.

After arriving at the ruins, Fang Yuxin and her group couldn’t retrieve their vehicles into the space because of other people’s presence. They couldn’t drive through the rubble, so they split into two groups; Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang zipped in on their motorcycles, while others sought Elemental Stones around the outskirts of the debris.

When Liu Meng arrived, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang had already sped into the ruins on their motorcycles, leaving the two conspicuous SUVs behind.

The driver drove straight toward them, the dark muzzles of guns poking out of open windows, aimed at the SUVs.

Liu Meng eyed the two SUVs with greed, warning, "Everyone, be careful! If anyone shoots recklessly and damages these vehicles, I’ll skin him alive!"

At this, he frowned and cast an unhappy look at Li Fugui, "Didn’t you say there were also two heavy-duty motorcycles? Why don’t I see them?"

His question turned Li Fugui’s face pale with fear. Frantically looking around, he finally spotted some tracks and quickly pointed to them, saying, "Look, Master Meng, those tire tracks must be from the two heavy-duty motorcycles. They’ve definitely gone inside! As long as we capture the people outside, they’ll have no choice but to surrender!"

Liu Meng scrutinized the tire tracks and felt Li Fugui was probably right. "It better be that way," he said and waved his hand, signaling for someone to call out.

The man understood and yelled loudly at the people inside the SUVs, "Listen up in there! Master Meng fancies your vehicles. If you don’t want to die, get out and surrender peacefully; otherwise, don’t blame the bullets for being blind!"

He finished with a smug laugh, but just then he heard the sound of engines starting behind him. Confused, he wondered who else was coming.

Not just him, everyone else in the SUVs turned their heads alertly to see two more SUVs heading their way.
