Fan Xiangyu heard Jiang Yue's words, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes. These people seemed to still not understand the situation, standing in front of them was not some kind-hearted person, but a demon who could kill without blinking! They actually wanted to conduct some kind of test on him, this was no longer seeking death, but suicide!
"Test? Lin Chao's eyes were cold and detached, he didn't think it was necessary to waste time here, just as he was about to directly capture Jiang Yue and interrogate her, a soft and weak voice suddenly came from behind Jiang Yue, saying: "No, no need for the test, Sister Jiang, I believe they are not moles."
Jiang Yue was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the speaker, a petite girl who looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old with a few small freckles on her face.
"Xia Tian, do you believe them?" Jiang Yue slightly furrowed her brow. If it were someone else saying this, she wouldn't have minded, but Xia Tian was different. This girl had a kind of terrifying intuition that was almost like reading minds, often sensing the appearance of monsters or corpses in certain places, and her intuition was almost always correct, without a single mistake!
Xia Tian weakly looked at Lin Chao and nodded slightly.
Lin Chao slightly furrowed his brow, he had a feeling that this girl seemed to have caught onto something just now, as if she had guessed his thoughts.
Was she telepathic? Or had a similar ability?
Mind-reading is a spiritual ability, this kind of ability is extremely terrifying, if it's in battle, the enemy's every thought, including the angle of attack and so on, are all grasped, basically can crush any opponent!
Xia Tian's words had considerable credibility in the team, and after others heard her say this, their gazes at Lin Chao and his group became a bit more friendly.
"Jiang sister, I also think they don't seem like moles. Which mole from any gathering place would bring out a 7 or 8 year old kid?" Another young punk with yellow hair said, his face full of arrogance, as if he was a street thug.
The middle-aged man who had previously questioned Lin Chao frowned and said, "This is hard to say, what if this kid is just someone he brought out as a disguise, that would be too terrifying."
"Lao Jiang, you don't trust them, do you still not trust Xiao Tian?" Another young man retorted, his eyes on Hei Yue and Fan Xiangyu's gaze with a hint of fervor. If such a beauty joined the team, at least they would be happy along the way, he didn't want to be driven away by this old Jiang.
The middle-aged man named Lao Jiang looked at him with disdain and said, "You're too young, you don't understand how dark this world is. Be more careful, or else you won't even know how you die!"
"What the...! Who are you cursing to death? You'd better be clear about it!" The young man had a bad temper and immediately blew up upon hearing Old Jiang's words.
Jiang Yue's face sank, she knew that the people in the team were not so harmonious with each other, and in the doomsday world, every day was very oppressive. Everyone's temperament and temper would become violent, and they would often start a big fight at the slightest disagreement. Taking advantage of the fact that the two had not yet started fighting, she lowered her voice and rebuked: "Shut up, have you forgotten what our mission is? Do you want to attract the attention of those things and get wiped out?"
Lin Chao could see that this girl named Jiang Yue had the highest physique, about 15 times higher, on the same level as Lin Shi Yu. It was hard to imagine how she had improved her physique to such a high level. At this moment, under her scolding, the middle-aged man called Lao Jiang and the young man both shut their mouths and turned their heads away from each other in disdain.
Jiang Yue turned around and looked at Lin Chao, saying: "I believe you now, forgive my rudeness earlier. Are you willing to join us? Our gathering place is nearby, with many evolved individuals and various equipment, having very high security, and also some absolutely unexpected magical things."
"Something magical?" Lin Chao's eyes flashed, this should be referring to the relic item, it seems that this gathering place has indeed discovered a relic!
"Alright." He nodded at once.
Jiang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Now, you all retreat first, we are executing a task. There is a corpse group nearby, after solving them, we will return to the gathering place together."
"Corpse group?" Lin Chao raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you know?"
Jiang Yue already considered him as one of their own, and didn't hide anything, smiling: "We have a scouting team and some special things, after we get back to the gathering place, I'll tell you in detail."
Lin Chao's eyes flashed, this gathering place was different from the one where he first met Fan Xiangyu. That one could hardly be called a gathering place, it was just a group of disorganized survivors who would eventually perish in the rotting corpses or internal strife. But this gathering place had already taken on some form of a post-apocalyptic settlement, although its armed forces were not strong, it had basic order and organization, with clear division of labor.
At this time, Jiang Yue and others bypassed Lin Chao and others, each taking out the fire axe behind their backs, in a sharp triangular formation, walking towards the building in front.
Seeing their movements, Hei Yue and Fan Xiangyu, Lin Shiyu three women looked at each other, with some astonishment in their eyes. Could it be that the rotting corpses Jiang Yue and the others were talking about were actually inside this building?
Soon, Jiang Yue and others cautiously entered the building, but what they saw was shocking. Everywhere was charred black, with charred and rotting corpses lying all over the place. Among them, some of the dead bodies were in a miserable state, with their heads or bodies split in half!
"How is this possible?!" Including Jiang Yue, everyone felt a bit stunned.
Soon, Jiang Yue realized something and came to the nearest corpse, squatted down, took out a short knife, cut open its body, then put on a rubber glove used for washing dishes, and began to search in its chest cavity. After a while, she didn't find anything.
Her face changed slightly and she hurried to the second corpse, continuing to search, but still found nothing.
"Evolution Energy is gone!" Jiang Yue stood up, his face somewhat solemn, and said: "Someone beat us to it, could it be that another gathering place secretly came to our territory?"
Lao Jiang turned around and looked at Lin Chao and others outside the building, his face gloomy: "Could it be that they were the ones who killed him?"
Jiang Yue's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.
The young man who had quarreled with Old Jiang before sneered and said, "What a joke, how many of them are there? Including the little girl, there are only four people in total. Do you think four people can kill so many zombies?"
Lao Jiang's face showed a hint of anger and he said, "Why can't I? If it were Dong Shouling, one person would be enough to kill all these zombies!"
"You also said that only Dong Shou can do it, do you think they have the same strength as Dong Shou? Besides, haven't you seen that their bodies are too clean? Not a single speck of dirt is on them. Even if they were to replace Dong Shou, killing so many zombies would at least leave some bloodstains on their clothes, right? Can you find any bloodstains on their clothes?" The young man sneered mockingly.
Lao Jiang's hands trembled with rage as he glared at him with resentment.
"Alright, I believe Xia Tian. If she says these people aren't moles, then they definitely aren't. The evolutionary energy inside these corpses has all been harvested, it must have been done by another gathering place. Let's hurry back and report to the leader, lest we cause trouble!"
She left the building as she spoke.
Fan Xiangyu watched them return, muttering in a low voice: "I didn't expect the rotten corpses they mentioned to be these little rascals. Hmph, if it weren't for us arriving first, I reckon just the few of them would have been electrocuted at the entrance!"
Lin Chao's eyes were icy cold. These people knew about the Evolution Energy, and it was clear that in this deep abyssal region, there must be a relic that had been unearthed and obtained by someone. The only question was whether this unearthed relic belonged to another ruin or the Maya No. 3 Ruin.
Jiang Yue came before Lin Chao and several others. She looked deeply at Lin Chao, saying: "Let's go, we're returning to the gathering place."
