Chapter 398: 224 Bear the Consequences (First Update)

Seeing that Bai Ye and the others were not easy to deal with, the opponents changed their attitude and offered a part of their benefits as a price to exchange for Bai Ye and his party’s forgiveness.

However, they had always been accustomed to flaunting their power, and though they seemed to have given in, they were quite bitter about it internally; it was just a way to buy time. If Bai Ye and his party were sensible and just took the benefits and left, then this matter could be considered closed, and they wouldn’t need to worry further. But if Bai Ye and his group became greedy, they would absolutely not let themselves be easily exploited!

As long as Brother Feng could successfully advance in rank, why would they fear these troublemakers?

These people were playing their cards close to the chest, considering both possible outcomes, while also keeping a wary eye out in case Bai Ye and his party made a sudden move. What was more, no matter what schemes they were harboring, they didn’t let any of it show on their faces; only their slightly flickering eyes betrayed that they were not as honest as they appeared.

Though Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were not standing together, they were secretly communicating using their Spiritual Sense.

Bai Ye took the initiative to reach out with a telepathic message, "Yuxin, this bunch is dishonest, probably trying to delay the time."

Fang Yuxin had the same thought and responded after hearing his message, "It’s been so long, and that Brother Feng hasn’t shown up yet, there must be something wrong. What do you think is holding him back?"

After saying this, she turned her head to look at Bai Qianqian, who was obediently standing by her side. It wasn’t just the fact that Brother Feng hadn’t appeared that was problematic—Brother Wang, who had left earlier, also hadn’t reappeared, which was very suspicious.

She had used her Spiritual Sense to eavesdrop earlier and heard their conversation, but when Brother Wang dragged the two girls into the house to vent his desires, she withdrew her Spiritual Sense, not wanting to see what would follow.

But earlier, that man had brought people to surround them and had been crushed by them, stirring up quite a ruckus; how could Brother Wang not have shown up? Could it be that he was scared?

With this thought, Fang Yuxin stealthily extended her Spiritual Sense, deftly locating Brother Wang’s last known location in the room. Before probing further, she mentally steeled herself to avoid being startled by any jarring scenes. Yet the moment her Spiritual Sense neared, she detected a slight obstruction.

That was... Fang Yuxin frowned slightly, her gaze once again shifting to Bai Qianqian, stunned!

It was a small soundproof Barrier!

At the same time, because the Barrier had been touched by Fang Yuxin’s Spiritual Sense, Bai Qianqian also sensed it. He instinctively looked up, his big eyes filled with guilt as he stared at Fang Yuxin.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was not the time to scold a misbehaving child, so Fang Yuxin had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing and continued to use her Spiritual Sense to inspect the situation in the room.

Since Bai Qianqian was still young, the Barrier he had set up was slightly crude. It wouldn’t be difficult for Fang Yuxin to forcefully break through it, but she didn’t want to alert the people outside, so she didn’t directly dismantle the soundproof Barrier.

The Barrier blocked out the sound but not the visuals. Fang Yuxin saw clearly that the situation inside was completely different from what she had expected. Although Brother Wang and the two girls were disheveled, they were not engaged in wanton pleasure. Instead, they were engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

All three were injured, the two girls were on one side, and Brother Wang on the other, furiously attacking each other. Blood, whose owner was uncertain, stained their faces, and their expressions were fierce and ferocious, like wild beasts that had lost all reason and had their most violent instincts provoked.

It appeared they had been fighting for some time, their chests heaving with heavy pants, clearly at the end of their strength.

Fang Yuxin couldn’t be bothered with them anymore and retracting her Spiritual Sense, she then checked on the others. This inspection revealed more issues.

There were in fact still many people in the settlement, but the majority were Ordinary People without superpowers. They had been common villagers before the apocalypse and had not received any systematic or professional training afterwards, so they were essentially powerless. Aside from a few with decent abilities, the rest were akin to slaves in the settlement.

The commotion at the entrance was not small and had naturally alarmed these people, but they didn’t dare come out to watch. They cowered fearfully in their houses, their eyes showing panic and unease, terrified of becoming unintended victims.
