Chapter 202 Unrecognized Acquaintance

Before long, Xu Yuze arrived at the East Gate, which was under the supervision of their Four Directions Alliance, as quickly as possible.

“What—?”

Always gentle and calm, he couldn’t help but display a bit of the imposing manner of someone in a high position at this moment, but more than that was worry and fear of the unknown, “You didn’t see what it was?”

Gu Tangxi shook her head regretfully and helplessly, “No.”

Xu Yuze took the binoculars from her hand. From the dozens of meters high platform, he could see over the ten-meter-high wall. Outside the wall, within a hundred meters, the view was unobstructed. Inside the wall was an army of ability users standing ready, while outside the wall, there was nothing, “So it’s a minority of powerful individuals, but… what level of zombie can emit such a wide range of energy fluctuations?” Moreover, all levels of energy detectors issued warnings. What level of monster is coming?

Gu Tangxi was a little dazed. Looking at the dense crowd of people below, it seemed that everyone who could be mobilized had been. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered, “Is it… is it that serious?”

It seemed that the base had never made such a big show before. Even during zombie swarms, they hadn’t seen so many people come.

After Xu Yuze looked around and found nothing unusual, he reluctantly put down the binoculars and then said to Gu Tangxi and the others, “This matter is no small matter. Be vigilant and don’t be careless.”

At this moment, a person beside him said, “It doesn’t seem to intend to conceal its aura.”

The three of them looked at Zuo Feng in unison. He was a Level 6 mental ability user who joined the Four Directions Alliance later. His perception was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Hearing this, Xu Yuze asked with a hopeful look, “You can’t use your mental ability to detect the specific location of the other party either?”

Zuo Feng gently shook his head twice, “No,” and then explained with a solemn expression, “It’s strong beyond imagination. The reason it triggered the base alarm is also because it disdains to hide. But if I want to explore further, I’m overestimating myself.”

This power didn’t seem to have any intention of harming people. It was cold and violent, but it didn’t contain any murderous information, only deterrence. Zuo Feng couldn’t help but ponder. Strange, are there zombies that emit energy waves to humans without revealing killing intent? They can’t wait to eat human flesh and drink human blood, not just killing intent? But if it’s not a zombie, what else could it be?

At this moment, the intercom in the tower emitted a sharp, crackling noise, drawing the attention of several people back. After a few rustling sounds, an urgent voice came from inside: “All guard teams immediately dispatch personnel to the South Gate. Keep only basic guards. The monster has appeared. Come quickly. Respond if you hear. Respond if you hear!”

Then there were two short responses in quick succession:

“West Gate received!”

“North Gate received!”

“South Gate? The Su family’s territory…” Xu Yuze looked at the direction of the intercom thoughtfully.

“Yes, Xie YunChuan’s mother’s family.” Gu Tangxi replied.

“I know.” Xu Yuze waved his hand, “Go reply.”

So, the delayed response came from the other three intercoms: “South Gate received!”

In less than three minutes, speed-type ability users and elite ability users had successively arrived at the South Gate. Xu Yuze was the first to arrive because he was both a wind-type speed user and an Level 8 elite ability user.

In the past six months, he had grown a lot. He had not only led Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue to gain a foothold in Li City, but also established the Four Directions Alliance, a base that gathered ability users from all directions. This was the only base in Li City that was not centered on a family but whose status and influence directly rivaled the three major families.

Now, no one dared to underestimate this small base, which was insignificant half a year ago and relied on the Su family to survive.

Speaking of this, one must give a good thank you to Li Shi, the “decisive and ruthless” zombie. If he hadn’t killed the Wu family’s three siblings and cut off the Wu family’s descendants, the Wu family wouldn’t have been driven to desperation to seek revenge and recklessly done a bunch of things that harmed others without benefiting themselves, triggering a huge riot, which gave Xu Yuze and the others an opportunity.

When the four families confronted each other in court, when Su Qingshan heard the sentence, “If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it,” he was so angry that his intestines were twisted. He shouted in grievance, “No, why would we do it? We really didn’t do it, it really wasn’t us who killed them!”

Su Qingshan regretted it so much. He didn’t kill the people, he didn’t take the crystal core, but the blame was all placed on his head without missing a single one.

If he had known, he might as well have killed them. That way, at least the people were really killed by his Su family, and it would have been reasonable to accept the Wu family’s chaotic attacks and retaliations afterwards.

The Wu family was furious, insisting that Su Qingshan and others killed them. The Su family denied it to the death, crying out for injustice. One side couldn’t produce evidence of murder, and the other side couldn’t clear themselves of being uninvolved. In the end, no one could decide who was right or wrong, so they had to let it go.

The Wu family refused to give up, and various underhanded tricks emerged one after another. Unfortunately, the Wu family was ultimately inferior to the Su family. The result of the game was that Li City lost a Wu family, and a new Four Directions Alliance rose.

……

When Xu Yuze saw the person walking slowly outside the city gate dozens of meters away, he almost couldn’t recognize him. His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were cold and fierce, and his body was filled with death.

That… is that Luo Shuyou? It doesn’t look like him! Is it… Luo Wushang? It doesn’t look like him either! At this moment, he was closer to the human-skinned zombies who had recently come into contact with the outbreak of corpse nature that Xu Yuze had been exposed to in recent months.

Thousands of thoughts ran through Xu Yuze’s mind. Did Luo Shuyou completely zombify? But the person he was holding in his arms was indeed Xie YunChuan—a human.

He didn’t kill him, let alone tear him apart, or even abandon him, but steadily held him in his arms.

Xie YunChuan’s tall body was nestled in Luo Shuyou’s thin and small arms, the picture was a bit uncoordinated, but inexplicably harmonious.

Looking down, Xu Yuze could see the hand around Xie YunChuan’s shoulder, white to the point of being without any flesh color, with long and sharp nails, just lightly resting there, the fingertips reaching just below Xie YunChuan’s neck.
