Chapter 1833: Chapter 1833
In short, here, whether it’s a club or an organization set up by some expatriates, they are just small potatoes, not even worth mentioning. Any casual Level 4 New Human can easily uproot them!
But precisely because the threat is small, not many people pay attention to this area. The location it occupies within the entire Cloud Gorge Base is completely dispensable, and very few people come here for any official business. Most of the soldiers who come here have ulterior motives.
This is also why people run when they see soldiers!
We just don’t know when Su Sigui, who has already become the undisputed dictator of Cloud Gorge Base and even the entire human society, will take action here?
Just as the red-haired man and his group were guessing the reason soldiers came here, the next second, they saw a terrifying "monster" over four meters high climb onto the roof of a low building and then jump down. When its feet hit the ground, it felt like the earth itself was lightly shaking!
This immediately scared them into abandoning the woman and fleeing in a panic!
"What the hell is this place?" After climbing over from behind the house, Ah Fu glanced at the alley behind him and couldn’t help complaining. The buildings here are very dense, and the passageways are pathetically narrow, making it extremely inconvenient for someone of his size to walk through.
It wasn’t long before the others also walked out from the alley. After scanning the area, Ah Fu noticed that people here were very afraid of the soldiers. As soon as Jiang Zhenbo and his group appeared, passersby shouted to warn others, and those who heard the commotion ran away as if a zombie horde had invaded.
"Brother Hu, this is the Eleventh District of Hua D. Normally, no one cares about this area, and it’s a bit chaotic; occasionally, soldiers come here to do some dirty work. People living here are used to being oppressed, so when they see us wearing this kind of uniform, they run away."
"Wow, how much bad stuff have you guys done that people are more afraid of you than zombies." Ah Fu said jokingly.
Jiang Zhenbo touched his nose and smiled, replying, "My underlings don’t lack Yajin. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and they’re all dirt poor, so they don’t even take a second look. As for whether others in the organization fancy people here or have done anything, that I don’t know... Brother Hu, is there perhaps a high-level zombie lurking here?" Jiang Zhenbo switched the topic, and Ah Fu did not pursue the matter further, recognizing that such filthy places are not unusual in the chaotic post-Apocalypse world.
And besides, it wasn’t their job to worry about these things.
"Not far now, just around the corner ahead. Have your men ready; I can’t guarantee how many of you will survive."
"Yes!" Jiang Zhenbo’s expression turned serious as he looked at the soldiers still emerging from the alley and said, "Did you hear? Stay alert for what’s coming!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers also tensed up. Generally, anything that can disguise itself as human and enter a survivor base would be a terrifying high-level zombie, at least at the Level 6 tier, right?
Even when combat breaks out, their capability may only allow them to hide on the side, cheering with ’666’, but if they’re careless, their lives could be at risk!
Ah Fu looked ahead. The woman from earlier was still lying on the street, crying, the despair life brought her making her oblivious to the potential dangers she might face.
"Who is this?" Ah Fu came up to her and glanced down. The shadow cast by his enormous figure made the world before her eyes suddenly darken, slightly dissipating her despair but instilling more fear, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
Jiang Zhenbo jogged over to Ah Fu’s side, glanced at the woman, narrowed his eyes, and finally lifted her hair, revealing a yellow tag pasted on the back of her neck!
He realized and smilingly said to Ah Fu, "Brother Hu, this woman is an ’artiste’ of this area, no need to worry about her."
"Artiste?" Ah Fu was momentarily puzzled, as in his understanding, an artiste was just a star before the Apocalypse?
Jiang Zhenbo hurriedly explained, "An artiste is industry slang, someone who makes money by doing that kind of work."
"Doing what kind of work...? Oh~" Jiang Zhenbo’s answer didn’t prompt an immediate reaction from Ah Fu, but when he did react, he wasn’t pleased but quickly realized. His expression was a bit odd.
He looked at the woman from left to right and asked, "Are you really doing that kind of work?"
"I’m talking to you, stand up." Jiang Zhenbo kicked the woman lightly, and she shuddered as she sat up from the ground, nodding with her head lowered.
"Hey~" Ah Fu let out a strange laugh and looked at Jiang Zhenbo, "What’s that yellow tag on her back?"
"This..." Following Ah Fu’s question, Jiang Zhenbo hesitated, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and his expression turned a bit uncomfortable as he roared, "Damn it, what kind of person are you, asking such questions, speaking out just leads to social death!"
Understandably, people who have never encountered such things usually don’t know what the tag represents.
But given the situation, he had no choice but to answer, gritting his teeth, "It’s similar to the streetwalkers of the old times... sigh... some people need to satisfy certain physical needs... the tag on her neck is a way to communicate that to those looking for some fun, sigh... Brother Hu, understand now." Jiang Zhenbo winked at Ah Fu, and this time, Ah Fu caught on quickly, nodding but saying nothing further, continuing to stride forward.
The rest of the group followed, while Jiang Zhenbo seemed to guess what was on Ah Fu’s mind, grinning slyly, "Brother Hu, we don’t settle for such cheap goods, but tomorrow... I’ll take you to a better place, you having not been here long, probably don’t know about it."
"What... good place?" Ah Fu feigned ignorance, but after Jiang Zhenbo made a hand gesture indicating something unmentionable, Ah Fu laughed silently and then asked, "Is the door big there? You see, someone of my size usually can’t squeeze through normal doors."
"Oh Brother Hu, don’t worry, that place is mine. I’ll have the door enlarged today, just so you can go in happily and come out comfortably."
"You know what you’re doing."
Jiang Zhenbo’s face was full of smiles, resembling an old brothel’s madam from ancient times.
Huang Quanjiu and the others behind them, of course, heard their conversation clearly. He didn’t bother to hide the disdain on his face, stepping back several paces with Chang Jinlun and remarking, "Damn it, don’t say I know this guy."
"Alright, alright, we’re all men here, don’t act like you’re so virtuous." Chang Jinlun retorted, causing Huang Quanjiu to explode in anger, "Screw you."
Yi Huangcheng quietly slipped out of the group, going to the woman’s side and pulling her up from the ground.
"Hurry back, it’s going to get dangerous here soon." He said. Once she stood up, she cautiously watched him with a peculiar gaze and then shook her head.
"No... no, I must find them, I’m running out of time."
The woman didn’t answer immediately and didn’t dare to look directly at Yi Huangcheng’s face, only observing the skin of his arm from a lowered position. Suddenly, she looked up and pleaded, "You’re a New Human, right? A powerful New Human! Please help me! I beg you, help me! Otherwise... otherwise, I’ll die!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
