Chapter 868: The Herders ( 1 )
Reaching this conclusion, Rong Qiaohui’s gaze toward Jin Xuyan changed instantly. She knew how dangerous the situation in the Thirteen Colonies was. This was the reason she endured the ridicule of her team members and stayed with them.
Her ability was an auxiliary type, and she couldn’t protect herself.
In exchange for protection, she worked hard to provide water for the team. But even so, her position in the team was low. If not for her Captain protecting her, she might have been abused to death by now.
She had finally met a team strong enough to bring her back to her homeland. As long as she went back, she would be able to find her family. With them around, she believed that she wouldn’t have to endure as many hardships as before.
In a good mood, she said, "Comrade, let me help you."
The members didn’t refuse her offer and asked her to help clean up the lobby.
While she was having a good time with her countrymen, Bryan’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Sitting behind him, Adam asked, "Captain, are you really letting Kelly go?"
"She is the strongest water-type mutant in our team. If she leaves, we will face a water shortage. We can’t let her go," Liam said.
"She has legs and can go wherever she wants. With how you all treat her all the time, do you think she will be willing to stay?" David asked calmly.
"David, what do you mean by that? Do you think we didn’t treat her well?" Liam asked angrily.
David let out a chuckle and replied, "You know yourself how you treat her. We all know you are her ex-boyfriend, and you have a fling with Jane. But that didn’t give you the right to treat her like that."
"I didn’t..."
Before Liam finished his words, David cut him off, "You don’t have to sugarcoat your actions. I have eyes and can see what’s going on. Isn’t it because she refuses to get back together with you so you sow discord and make the members misunderstand her?"
"You are not better than us. Even if you didn’t join us, you also didn’t help her," Lucas chimed in.
"At least, I didn’t bully her while taking her kindness for granted," David shrugged.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Bryan gritted his teeth and said, "Enough!"
Everyone finally shut up when they noticed their Captain’s bad mood. They couldn’t understand what he actually wanted to do.
He always treated Kelly like he treated other ordinary people. But whenever he saw them bullying her, he would punish them. Even so, he wouldn’t allow them to let her know.
Because of this, even if the members often suppressed Kelly, they didn’t dare to go overboard. Besides some small tricks and harsh words, they never dare to injure her.
Along the way, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.
At the same time, several groups of people emerged from their hiding spots and headed toward the Phantom Team’s direction. They saw Bryan and his team go to talk with that group and return with supplies.
Thinking that they would be able to get supplies, they went over to try their luck. If they could get it without using force, that would be ideal. But if that group refused to cooperate, they wouldn’t mind using force.
Less than an hour later, several groups of people arrived at the building where the Phantom Team was staying.
Standing near the entrance, Pei Yixie said, "Brother, these people come with bad intentions. They want to rob our supplies."
When she said this, Li Sikai raised his hand, and the next second, a massive, dome-like lightning net appeared, surrounding the entire building.
The crowd was shocked when the lightning net appeared out of nowhere so suddenly. Fortunately, their reaction was fast. Otherwise, they would have been injured by that lightning net.
After blocking them outside, Li Sikai walked out and stood two meters away from the lightning net. He glanced at them and said calmly, "This place is taken. Please leave."
Seeing the man’s fair skin, gentle eyes, and handsome face, a thought flashed in their minds.
After the apocalypse, the number of women had decreased drastically, but the stress and pressure increased. To release their stress, most people indulged themselves in pleasure.
Since the number of women was no longer enough, a lot of men turned their sights toward the same sex. Those who fell victim first were weak, handsome, slender young men.
Although Li Sikai couldn’t be counted as a slender man, he had broad shoulders and a slender waist. He was lean when wearing clothes and muscular when undressed. Added to his phoenix-shaped eyes, he was indeed a top-quality man compared to the bunch of rough men living in the 2nd colony.
Noticing the change in their gaze, Li Sikai felt something was wrong. Before he could figure it out, Pei Yijun rushed over and cursed, "Bunch of beasts! Bastards, how dare you defile Brother Sikai in your filthy minds?!"
Hearing her words, what couldn’t he understand?
Li Sikai’s face darkened, and with a flick of his wrist, several lightning bolts descended from the sky.
Crack! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The lightning bolts struck the group directly. Those with higher levels managed to dodge or block the attack, suffering some injuries. But the low-level mutants turned into roasted corpses instantly.
Seeing him kill so many people at once, the group no longer dared to think about having him as their plaything.
As he narrowed his eyes, Li Sikai said coldly, "Leave now, or don’t blame me for taking your lives."
Without even the need for him to say it twice, everyone scattered like frightened birds.
Standing beside Li Sikai, Pei Yixie spat at their backs and used her airguns to shoot at their legs. How dare they offend her brother!
With every shot, someone let out a painful cry. After she taught them a lesson, she was still puffing her cheeks angrily.
