Chapter 871: The Herders ( 4 )
Even if the jerky was made of mutant meat, the price would be high, and judging from these people’s clothes and weapons, they didn’t seem like people who could afford such food as a snack.
He observed the surroundings for a moment before he flicked his fingers. The next moment, the small light bulb above the table flickered for a while before it died.
Immediately, the members moved at high speed and rushed toward the men. With a chop to the back of their necks, the three men rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.
Seeing this, Pei Yixie asked in a low voice, "Are they dead?"
Fu Guai gave her a look and said, "If you want to kill them, I can snap their necks now."
When she heard his words, she quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "No, don’t kill them. We can get more information by interrogating them."
After she said this, Li Sikai said, "No need. These people are just guards. They won’t know anything useful."
The members dragged the guards to a dark corner. Afterward, Cheng Rui used his ability to turn a metal pipe into a metal plate and wrapped them up like a spring roll. He only left small holes near their noses to keep them alive.
The members couldn’t help but stare at him, and Jian Ziqin asked, "Is this necessary?"
"We don’t want them to alert others. So, we need to keep their eyes and mouths shut," Cheng Rui replied seriously.
Li Sikai waved his hand and said, "Let’s go inside."
They followed him, and soon after, they saw the vast platform filled with crudely made tents. These so-called tents were nothing but spaces separated by simple curtains made of dirty fabric or cardboard.
Even without getting closer, they could hear men’s grunts and women’s muffled cries.
The biggest tent shook violently, followed by loud, lewd moans and men’s dirty talk. From the sound, there were more than two people inside.
Pei Yixie’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the scene in front of her. Even though she didn’t see anything, the sound of flesh slapping against flesh rang in her ears. She understood instantly what was going on.
Fu Guai noticed the horror in her eyes and reached out to cover her ears.
Feeling the warmth of his palms, she turned and met his silver eyes.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
His voice echoed in her mind, blocking all the nauseating sounds around her.
Li Sikai’s face darkened when he saw this. Turning to Jian Ziqin, he asked, "Can you take down the men inside?"
Jian Ziqin nodded and replied, "I can control my shadow clones within a radius of 5 kilometers."
Hiding behind the wall, he flicked his wrists, and soon, five shadow clones emerged from his shadow. The clones moved along the wall and the ground.
Their speed was as fast as Jian Ziqin’s, and soon after, they heard people shouting and screaming. Blood splashed onto the curtains and stained the old mattresses.
The smell of blood grew thick in the air, masking the stench of debauchery.
In less than three minutes, the shadow clones returned, and Jian Ziqin said, "Brother Sikai, it’s done."
Li Sikai nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, the lights turned on instantly.
Seeing this, amazement flashed in Cheng Rui’s eyes.
Both of them were lightning-type mutants, but compared to Li Sikai, his control over his ability was much weaker. He couldn’t control his strength, so if he used his ability to turn on the lamps, it would end up destroying them instead.
With the bright light illuminating the platform, they finally saw the situation clearly. The tents only occupied a small area of the entire platform.
On the other side, there were more than 35 cages where children, women, and elderly people were locked up.
"Come out," Li Sikai said.
A few minutes later, the women came out one after another. Each of them was naked, with some only having a piece of fabric covering their bruised bodies.
Some of them looked at the members dully, while most stared at them with fear.
"Those beasts deserved to die," Feng Yun said through gritted teeth.
He took out several boxes of clothes from his space and said, "Yixie, help distribute the clothes to them."
After what they had experienced, he guessed that these women didn’t want to get near any man right now. It was better for Pei Yixie to handle this.
Coming back to her senses, Pei Yixie nodded and opened the boxes. She carried several sets of clothes and walked over. She didn’t say anything, only placing the clothes near them and taking out some water and food from her space.
While she was distributing the supplies and clothes, the others went to the opposite platform and unlocked the cages.
When the survivors saw them, they huddled in the corner and begged.
"Please spare my grandson. He is too thin and has no meat. You can eat me, I have more meat," an old woman said while banging her forehead on the ground.
Hearing this, except for Li Sikai, the members were shocked. Jian Ziqin reached out to stop the old woman and said, "We are not going to eat you or your grandson."
"W-who are you?" the old woman asked.
"We are a mercenary team. We came for a mission," Li Sikai said.
When the survivors heard this, they stared at them warily. Noticing this, Li Sikai gestured to the members and said, "Take the supplies and leave now."
Feng Yun waved his hand and took out some water and dried food from his space.
The moment the survivors saw this, their eyes lit up, and they licked their dry, chapped lips. Even though they were dying from thirst and hunger, they didn’t dare to take the supplies.
Cheng Rui frowned and said, "What? Do you think we will poison you? If you don’t want it, then forget it."
