Chapter 781: Chapter 296: Tu Long Gets Captured, Goes Up the Mountain to Seek Help_6
Chang Yan can sense the goodwill from the other party. The other party has already taken a dominant position but hasn’t acted, which is enough to show that they truly have no malicious intent.
Especially since the other party clearly had the chance to launch a sneak attack with arrows, but chose not to.
She patted Zhong Mountain’s shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
Zhong Mountain was unwilling, still wary of these people.
Chang Yan, helpless, could only let him carry her and said to the young man, "We escaped from Sunshine New City and came to Yangshan to avoid the flood. My name is Chang Yan, and this is Zhong Mountain. We mean no harm."
The young man laughed and said, "Chang Yan? We’re kin then. I’m also a Chang, named Chang Ze. These are my team members."
He put away his crossbow, and the others also stowed away their daggers and other weapons.
Seeing this, Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain felt relieved.
Zhong Mountain also relaxed, looking at Chang Yan with an inquiring look.
Chang Yan nodded slightly, and only then did Zhong Mountain speak, "Brother Chang Ze, do you know a guy named Tu Long?"
Chang Ze was startled, then his expression became serious, "Know him. Where did you meet him?"
"In the flood about five kilometers outside Yangshan. There were people on a large cargo ship who abducted Tu Long and Sister Xiaoya," Zhong Mountain said.
Chang Ze was shocked, subconsciously saying, "Tu Long was abducted? Impossible, with his strength, how could he be taken away?"
Then he suddenly showed a surprised look, "Wait, what did you say? There’s a cargo ship in the waters five kilometers outside Yangshan?"
Zhong Mountain quickly nodded, "Yes, there is a cargo ship."
Chang Yan added, "Brother Tu Long was unconscious at that time, with Sister Xiaoya swimming in the water helping him. When the group came to capture Sister Xiaoya and Brother Tu Long, Brother Tu Long had no ability to resist."
Chang Ze’s face darkened slightly, and he exchanged a look with the others.
One of them said, "I’ll notify Captain Shi!"
Chang Ze nodded, and that person quickly sprinted towards the Yangshan Shelter.
His speed was incredibly fast, clearly a Speed Ability User.
Chang Ze said in a deep voice, "You two, can you come with me to the shelter? I need you to explain the situation in detail."
Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain looked at each other at his words. After a slight hesitation, considering the other party had not forced them and the communication had been friendly throughout,
Chang Yan finally nodded, "Alright, Brother Chang Ze."
Chang Ze said, "Thank you. Rest assured, if this information is true, you will be greatly rewarded by our Yangshan Shelter."
Under Chang Ze’s leadership, the group headed towards Yangshan Shelter.
In the woods, Ni Qi and Ma Ji exchanged a glance and cautiously emerged.
At this moment, both of them, regardless of physique or height, were the size of a Fire Bamboo Rat.
This was the effect of Ni Qi’s Superpower [Sumeru].
As Ni Qi withdrew his hand, both of them instantly returned to normal size.
Ma Ji said, "Ni Qi, they don’t seem like bad people and didn’t harm Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain."
Ni Qi nodded, "We can’t let our guard down. Let’s keep following and see."
"Alright."
The two immediately followed carefully.
Very quickly, the group left the forest and entered the winding mountain road.
Along the way, they saw some patrols and people digging trees and cultivating land on either side of the mountain path.
There were also people hurrying back from the winding mountain road, each carrying a bamboo house full of mutant fish and fishing rods in hand.
It seemed they had just returned from fishing by the river.
Seeing these scenes, Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain were secretly amazed.
This Yangshan Shelter seemed truly different.
Continuing forward, Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain soon saw a huge bamboo house built against a concave mountain wall in the distance, over ten stories high.
People were coming and going in the bamboo house, but looking down below, they couldn’t see the situation because a high wall blocked the road.
The high wall was built from stones, extending along the road and surrounding a bamboo forest.
On the high wall, every few meters, there was a watchtower with guards holding crossbows and bamboo spears, standing guard.
All of this seemed primitive yet invoked a sense of awe.
Zhong Mountain couldn’t help but say, "Is this the Yangshan Shelter?"
Chang Ze heard and said, "It’s considered the entrance to the shelter. Don’t worry, follow me."
Chang Yan couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Chang Ze, how many people are there in your shelter?"
Chang Ze said, "There are about a thousand people here in Yangshan, and nearly two thousand if you include Meishan."
"What? There are people in Meishan too?" Chang Yan exclaimed.
Chang Ze nodded, "Yes, Meishan has also been taken over by Mr. Liang, and now it is considered part of the Yangshan Shelter."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the gate of the high wall.
The gatekeepers, seeing Chang Ze, looked at Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain with some surprise.
"Chang Ze, where did these two come from?"
"They came to the mountain for refuge. They have important information that needs to be reported to Captain Shi," Chang Ze said seriously.
The gatekeepers, hearing this, immediately became solemn, "Then, go inside."
Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain entered the gate, their eyes widening.
Inside the wall, the world was completely different from outside.
Inside the wall, neat rows of bamboo houses, wooden houses, and stone houses stood.
The ground was paved with neat stone slabs, extending to the cliff where a large open square appeared.
Under the cliff, various bamboo houses were built, resembling a Dai village.
A stout man strode towards the square, followed by the team member who had previously gone to report.
Behind them were over a dozen robust youths.
Shi Haizhu first glanced at Chang Yan and Zhong Mountain.
The young man and woman immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.
Their hearts raced, knowing that this man must be a powerful Superpower User!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a strong presence.
"You two, I am Shi Haizhu, the captain of the fifth patrol squad of Yangshan Shelter. Please explain in detail the situation of the cargo ship attacking our shelter members, Tu Long," Shi Haizhu said.
Chang Yan felt respected by the other party, who clearly didn’t see them as children.
This respect made Chang Yan feel very comfortable.
She gradually recognized the Yangshan Shelter mentioned by Sister Xiaoya.
She then detailed how they encountered Wang Xiaoya and Tu Long and were targeted by the cargo ship.
However, she kept Ni Qi and Ma Ji’s presence a secret.
